The half hundred United States Ma
rines who are stationed nearby for the
purpose of policing the vicinity, assisted
in laying out the Presidents camp and
put UP the group of shacks and crude
frame buildings which comprise the
executive camp. but they were not used,
according to the White House, in the
construction of roads or trails connect
ing the main highway with the camp.
Regardless Of how others interpret

Chief Executive, Mr.. Hoover since be-
coming President. 1t was pointed out,

H|NTED
IN BENNETT CASE
Federal Agents Said to Have
Traced Large Part of
$1O4, 900.

While Federal agents are said to have
traced a large part of the s1o4,00o al
legedly embezzled from the Farmers &
Mechanics Bank of Georgetown, 1t was
disclosed also today that an associate
Of George Willard Bennett, accused
young bank teller, Is under suspicion as
an accomplice.
Except for the admission that this
new phase Of the investigation has no
connection with any other employe Of
the bank no further ir1timation was
given with respect to this angle Of the
inquiry now under way.
Investigators refused to state the
sum it appears certain will be restored
before the case is ready for submis-
sion to the grand jury. but it was in
dicated that the search for missing
funds Is about over. Agents Of the
the Farmers & Mechanics Bank in
sisted today that the total amount re-
stored by young Bennett does not ex-
ceed $4,000, instead of $4,000, as has
been supposed. This sum includes also
the value Of BENEFITS automobile,
which was seized at the time Of his
arrest.
Roadster Offered for Sale.
Although the sporty roadster in ques-
ton is being offered for sale at the
garage In which 1t Is now stored, 1t
was learned today that Bennett Is not
being deprived Of the pleasure of mo-
toring, for he is said to have the loan
of another car
The fact that O large amount of
money or stocks Is expected to be re-
covered appears to bear out the con-
tention that most of BENEFITS tamper-
ing with the banks accounts occurred
within the past year. AS the exanlina-
ton Of accounts continues, the belief
Is strengthened that the most active
period Of the alleged embezzlements
was within the past two months or so.
Investigation of embezzlement cases
Involving Washington bank clerks or
officials In recent years show that the
$4,000 bond under which Bennett is
at liberty Is rather high than low. The
highest bond granted in i've prominent
cases was $500. reduced from $4,000,
and the lowest was $1,000. In each OF
the five cases jail or penitentiary sem
tenees were imposed. The sums involved

by George Akerson, one of his secre-
taries, with much emphasis. Mr.. Aker-
son stated that the roads and trails
leading over the mountain to the camp
were built by the Highway Commission
of the State of Virginia. He said also
that with the exception of the Marine
putting up the shacks in the Presidents
camp all the work and material in the
establishment were paid for by Mr..
Hoover.
He added that the President antici-

StimSon Moves Here.

Stimson Moves Here.
Secretary Stimson has called to
the attention of both the Soviet
and Chinese governments the fact
that they are SignatorieS OF the
Kellogg anti-war treaty. ..
In his steps to avoid hostilitieS
in the Far East, Secretary Stimson
enlisted the aid of Japan, Great
Britain and France. Besides con-
ferring yesterday with French
Ambassador Claudel, Mr.. Stimson
talked at length with Japanese
Ambassador Debuchi. Sir Esme
Howard, the British Ambassador,
has also conferred with the Sec
retary on the situation.
Protection Cited.
Under the terms OF the four
power treaty concerning the
Pacific, signed in Washington in
1921, the United States, Great
Britain, Japan and France are
obligated to confer and consult
with one another In al threat to
peace in the Pacific and particu-
larly regarding a threat to their
possessions.
Secretary Stimson went beyond
this, however. and took steps to
call to the attention of the two
governments their adherence to
the Kellogg treaties for the re-
nunciation of war.
French Ambassador Claudel
called at the State Department
yesterday and it is presumed in
diplomatic circles that Secretary
Stimson communicated to him for
transmission through his govern
ment TO the Soviet the suggestion
that they should abide by the re-
nunciation of war doctrine which
was adopted as national policy
by Russia with adherence to the
Kellogg pact.
The Chinese Minister received a
similar suggestion from Secretary
Stimson.
While the State Department is
without authoritative information
on the underlying causes of the
dispute between China and Rus
sia over the seizure by China OF
the Chinese Eastern Railway. Sec
retary Stimson, on the basis Of
press reports, feels the entire
matter can be settled without re-
sort to hoStilities.

Brings Return in Protection,

Smithers Co. Head.

ing a building well rooted
Is not an expense, but an investment,
bringing returns in protection and
resale value, according to Joseph E.
Matt!ngly, president of the Henry G..
Smithers Roofing Company, 430
South Meridian street.
The Smithers company reports
steady increase in business and con-
Sistent demand for residential and
commercial roofing during the past
eight months of this year.
The company applies asphalt, rag
and asbestos felt roofs, as well as
asphalt and asbestos shingle roofs.
The asphalt and asbestos Shingle
roofs are adaptable to residences
and are quite economical for moder-
ate priced homes.
Demand Heavy
There is q heavy demand for slate
and tile roofing on the more pre-
tentious homes and public buildings,
Mattingly said. Many of the resi-
dences and public buildings con-
structed here and in other cities Of
the state have had this type Of roof
construction.
There was a time when the roof
was looked upon as nothing more
than a shelter from the elements,
but today it is regarded as one of
the first essentials of good achitect-
ural STYLE" Mattingly said. "The
roof of a home seldom escapes
critical observation, the importance
of making 1t attractive being quite
apparent"

pleted number OF residences, in
