DRUNKENNESS AMONG
POLICE IS DISPUTED
Trade Board Committee Adduces
Evidence in: Refuting
Smiths Charge.

The declaration that about one
third of the Washington police force
have been, charged with intoxication,
made by Gov, Smith in campaign
speech, is not based on ofsicial records
of the department. Odell S. Smith,
chairman of the public order coma
mittee of the Board of Trade, declared
yesterday at meeting of the group.
He quoted figures showing that last
year not ore-thifd of the force were
charged with all infractions, including
minor ones. There we're but 50 cI1arr-
ed with intoXication, one with selling
whiskey and two with drinking In
public, he said.
Mr.. Smith lauded the work of Lieut..
F. S. w. Burke, head of the policemen's
training school. and declared the wash
ington force compares with the best
in the country.
John Lewis Smith, attorney, also
praised the local force and attacked
those guilty Of irresponsible criticism
which tends to hurt the reputation and
morale of the department. alluding to
Representative Blanton of Texas for his
appearance at session of the Police Trial

ADJUSTMENTS

BELASCO-"The Crooks Convention"
Arthur Somers Roche, who has an
apparent familiarity with the 6. e:
Chesterton style of the paradox as well
as q penchant for gymnastics IN logic,
puts his tongue In his cheek and COM
poses a piece that proves beyond doubt
that society depends for its existence
upon organized crime
There can be no question d that The

convince any skeptic. That is, II MS
satire is taken seriously Inc saIe-
cracker, the skull-cracker ana the
badger worker-rlot to mention others OF
former questionable fame - become

This is the essence of the paradox
behind the new play by Mr.. Somers. 1t
3 probably paradoxical enough to startle
even the great Mr.. Chesterton
make him crusade In defense of . deli
cate art made grotesque. For the satire
of this composition, while amusing, is
far from delicate. The dialogue Is in
keeping with the character OF the I'M
derworld, which means this play has Its
rough points. It Is calculated to depict
what crooks might do and say IN con-
Ventiun.
The story opens with q publisher of a
yellow journal waging sharp campaign
against crime while printing yards OF
crime news. He is applauded by the up
standing substantial citizens, o Judge, a
banker. the president of the Purity
League, the secretary of the eAnti-Sin
Society and an evangelist. While die

Is enc killing among brothers.
Suspense Is added by the presence in
coanito of the secretary to the late pub
lisNer, and later of q smart speaking
reporter. who Is dragged from hiding
behind o screen.
But real trouhls is brewing. The
evSneelist enters. Satire departs here,
for he proves to be the only sincere one
In she play. This probably is conces-
sion to righteousness. He converts the
whole of the gang and when word goes

will be out Of work. The Judge arrives
breathless to say the courts will be
abolished, there being no crime to ad-
judicate. The banker, the purity league
lady and the reporter add their pleas.

ROUTE TO. CHARLOTTE, N G.,
October 16.-Having commenced his
Southern campaign; with an. assault
upon Gov. Smiths prohibition stand
at the capital city of Virginias Senator
William E. Borah today turned to an
other State of Dixie North Carolina,
TO direct another bombardment against
the democratic presidential nominee;

scheduled for late today. ~
Hits Smiths Dry Stand.
Senator Borah in his speech last
night at Richmond directed most of his
FIRE against the position of Gov. Smith
on prohibition. The Senator also at
tackled John j. Raskob. Democratic ma
tional committee chairman, and Tam
many Hall. Democratic organization,
for opposition to the dry law.
Senator Borah criticized Smiths
views on immigration and farm relief.
The proposal of the governor, he said,
TO eliminate the present quota restric-
tons would increase the quotas OF
Southern European countries by 300 to
200 per cent. while decreasing those OF
Northern Europe"
Hoover's Farm Stand Praised.
Borah praised the Republican STAN
dard bearer for his viewpoint on the
agricultural problems. The ability and
capacity of Hoover to solve economic
problen1s, he said, including that of ag-
Ficulture, was "unquestioned" by farm
ers. Hoover's food administration, he
added. was niotivated by marketing pol
tcies to benefit the farmers.
Asked if he would confer with Sena-
tor Furnifold NJ. Simmons, senior
Democratic Senator from North Caro-
lima and leader of the Anti-Snith
forces Of his party in that State, the
Idahoan said If Senator Simmons were
IN the vicinity of Charlotte he would
''pay his respects to him." but that he
had been told Simmons was In another
section of the State.

Gordon Play Gets
Name From
Rhyme

Before the opening OF "satur-
days Children" at the shubert-
Belasco Theater play-soers are
somewhat confused over the mean
ing of the title Of the play. Many
inquiries were made at the box
office as to just what Maxwell
Anderson meant when he gave
his comedy the odd title.
For those still in doubt. let it
be explained here that the play
takes it's title from the old
nursery rhyme below:
Mondays child Is fair Of face,
Tuesdays child is full Of grace,
Wednesdays child is full of woe,
Thursdays child has far to go,
Fridays child Is loving and giving.
SATURDAYS CHILD works hard
for a living.
Saturdays child works hard
for a living"-Rims and Bobbie
O'Neill. in the play, must not only
work for a living, but they must
work hard for a solution of the
problem of keeping love alive
when the bills begin TO pile up.
