WRONG MAN TAKEN
IN LEHMAN DEATH
Philadelphia Brought Here,
but Freed Within Hour
After Arrival.

Mistaken for another man sought In
the death of Miss Eleanor Lehman on
March 81, Charles Parker of Philadel-
phia, arrested and brought here for
questioning yesterday, was released
within an hour after his arrival. when
he convinced detectives that he has
not been in Washington for several
years.
In the meantime, Lowry N. Coe, local
attorney, has been engaged by Parker's
father, but he said he did not know
whether civil action would be insti-
tuted.
Warrant Served.
Philadelphia police took Parker into
custody on a warrant charging COM
plicity in the death of Miss Lehman,
who died following an alleged Illegal
operation in the office of Louis Hoff-
man, physiotherapist. Hoffman pleaded
guilty to a charge of second degree
murder, and was sentenced to 30 years
in the penitentiary.
Lieut.. Edward J. Kelley, chief Of the
Detective Bureau homicide squad, and
his squad have been looking for some
time for Charles Parker and recently
got the tip that he was living at the
same address in Philadelphia as the
man brought here yesterday.
Never Lived Here.
Parker's brother and father preceded
him to the Capital and told police that
Parker could not be the man wanted in
the case as he never has lived in this
city. Parker's straightforward story to
Detective Thomas Sweeney in whose
| custody he was brought here, convinced
the detective that he was not the man
wanted
AT conference at the district at
! torney's office, upon Parker's arrival
! here, it was agreed to release him I'M
| mediately. Transportation back to
Philadelphia was furnished by the local
police department.

DAVIS SEES VOTES
IN WATERWAY IDEA
Secretary, Visiting Coolidge,
Emphasizes Force in
Hoover's Policy.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.
STAFF Cnrresponaent of The Star.

CEDAR ISLAND LODGE, BRULE
RIVER, Wis. September Herbert
Hoover's advocacy of the development
of inland waterways as a means of
providing cheaper transportation in this
country should bring him many votes
in the agricultural sections, according
to the viewpoint Of Dwight F.. Davis,
Secretary of War, who spent today here
with President Coolidge.
Secretary Davis, while discussing this
subject at the Summer CAPITAL to-
night before leaving for the East. stated
that the matter of distribution and mar
keting of agricultural products is the
one great problem today.
Theme for His Tour.
Secretary Davis looks upon waterway
development as so important factor
that he proposes to use II as his prin-
clpai theme during his Forthcoming
campaign speaking tour, He wants to
remind the farmers OF Mr. Hoover's be-
lief In this subject and his ability To
solve the distribution problem.
Secretary Davis expresses the belief
that the farmers are awakening to tho
fact that the election of Gov. Smith
holds out nothing for them In the way
of substantial relief,
He expects 10 present his WATERWAYS
argument principally In the Middle
West and Northwest, While talking to
the latter, he will lay considerable stress
upon the development of the ST.
Lawrence River deep-waterways project.
TO which Gov, Smith has indicated
his opposition In the past,
Hot Fight In Missouri.
In his own State of Missouri, secre-
tary Davis said he expected to take part
in the fight. which he admitted would
probably be hot. He pointed out, how
ever, that the Missouri Democrats are
divided by prohibition
Secretary Davis stated that he dis
cussed variety of subjects relating to
the military establishment with tho
President, and that the flve-year air
program for the Army was among these
subjects,

"ALL-DAY SUCKER" QUIETS BABY
AS RESCUE SQUAD DIGS UP WALK
Dempsey Stokes, 20 Months
Old, EFFORTS Candy While
Foot Is Caught.
Fireman's Inventive Mind
Stills Howl During Tedi-
Gus Operations.

An "all-day sucker" yesterday sue
ceeded in quieting 20-month- -old Demp-
Sey Stokes, 4l2 H street. while members
of the Fire Department rescue squad
dug up cement and terra Gotta pipe to
extrlcate his foot after he had caught
1t in a water pipe that was being in
stalled in the front yard of his home
The boy caught his foot In the pipe
in such manner as to make 1t impos-
sible for his parents to remove it. They
summoned the rescue squad. When the
squad arrived it was found necessary
to dig up a section of the sidewalk
and the new terra Gotta pipe that had
just been installed.
Dempsey was finding his position so
irksome by this time that he ''set up a
howl that promised to last through the
entire rescue proceedings. A little
candy would probably appease the
youngster thought Sergt. E. j. Carroll
and the rescue squad chief hastily dis
patched one of his men for an "all-day
sucker
"Thatll hold him all night. if neces-
sary" unused the possessor of the invent
i've mind as the work was continued
without another whimper from the cap
tive.
Dempsey emerged uninjured from his
trap
