WORRIES
HOOVER
The text Of President
Hoover Message to Congress
appears on Page IA.
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

BY GEOhOE II. uOLMES
President Hoover informed
Congress today that the most
serious issue before the American
people is the steady growth Of
lawleSsnesS.
In his first annual message.
giving an account of his stew
ardship in the White House for
nine months and affording a
peek into the future, the Presi-
dent reported that the general
state Of the Nation-economic-
ally, financially and from an
international standpoint--is ex-
cellent.
But aw enforcement, he de
clared, lis far from satisfactory
and these conditions must be
remed.ed."
Picks Out Prohibition
He referred specifically to
prohibition. And as in his in
augural address last March, he
sounded again a clarion call for
law observance by all classes of
society, particularly by so-called
good citizens"
I'VE can no longer" he said,
gloss over the unpleasant reality
that he who condoneS or traffics
with crime, who is indifferent TO
it and to punishment Of the
criminal, is himself the most ef-
fective agency for the breakdown
Of society. It is the most serious
issue before any people"
So far as prohibition itself is
concerned, Mr.. Hoover again pro-
posed some of the remedial meas
ures he put forward last March
the transfer of enforcement from
the Treasury to the Department
Of Justice; simplification of court
procedure to speed up trials, and
codification of prohibition laws to
eliminate red tape-but in the
final analysis he conceded that
the principal remedy lies with the
people themselves.
Can't Rise Above Source
Law" he observed, Cannot
rise above it's source in good cit.
izenship - in what right-minded
men most earnestly believe and
desire"
1t was noted with some sig
nificance, however, that the Presi-
dent did not mention, let alone
endorse, the Sheppard bill which
would make the buyer Of liquor
a felon along with the seller.
Nor did he recommend any
greater appropriation from the
Treasury to reinforce the army
of agents now trying to enforce
the law.
The blot of lawlessness was the
principal, virtually the only one,
which Mr.. Hoover found in the
pleasant picture Of national con-
ditionS.
He reported business baSically
sound, so much so, in fact, that

Coolest NIGHT
COMING

Washington folks want to turn
en- the heat" tonight, because
Forecaster Weightman, of the
Weather Bureau, says the mec-
curry is going to go down to IL
degrees, the second coolest night
this year.
Motorists are warned again to
make sure they have the proper
amount of anti-free solutions in
their radiators.
While the temperature for the
balance of today will hover
around freezing. Weightman said.
tomorrow will be warmer with a
maximum of 40 to AZ degrees.
There is no rain or snow in sight
for the next 80 hours. he said.
Motorists and pedestrians need
not be greatly worried because
of the ice melting on trees and
freezing after it falls to high
ways and sidewalks. Weightman
sees very little thawing today,
except in such spots as the sun
reaches nearly all day long.

TROLLEY CRASH
HURTS I

Seven persons were injured, one
seriously, and hundreds of Gov
eminent employees were forced to
walk to work today when a street
ear of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company and a
heavily loaded six-ton truck, be-
longing to P. T. McDermott Com
pany, collided near the inter
section of Connecticut Avenue
and Columbia Road, below the
Garfield statue.
Most seriously injured was Will
Ham Parker. 81, colored, 1000 block
of Thirtieth st. N. W., assistant
driver of the truck. He was
seriously burned on the face,
arms and body. His condition is
critical, hospital authorities state.
Richard Rayborn, %. 100 block

of the street car, suffered bruises
and decorations. He was treated
at Emergency Hospital and dis
charged.
Car Platform Wrecked
Rayborn, whose car was coming
down Columbia Road on his run
from Mt. Pleasant, said another
car was headed out Connecticut
Avenue toward Mt. Pleasant, and
that the truck cut in front of
him from behind the car he was
meeting. He said he did not see

TUNNEY COMES
BACK HOME
By DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Dec. 3 UN.SD-
Having at last forgiven boxing
for everything it has done for
him, the James J. Tunney who
spent the past year donating cul
ture to European capitals, is com,
ing home today.
He has done all ne can for
Europe. From now on, it is
strictly on its own and must
work out its salvation strictly on
it's merits.
Tunney, 1t seems, has decided
to devote himself to the needs of
America, which will be quite a
break for boxing hereabouts. It
will now have something to be
mad at, at least.
A lot of those low fellows Of the
newspaper business will be there
when the boat docks, but ]
understand Tunney is a changed
man and nobody will be molested
provided he remembers his place
There used to be an unfortunate
difference Of opinion about this
due to Tunney'S impression that
the place in question was with
the Scullery help.
FOrgiving Compassion
However, 1t seems that the in
herent bigneSS Of the man has
asserted itself at last and that
he now views reporters with a
great and forgiVing compassion.
At that, he may be interested
to know that this demand for
privacy seemS to be on the verge
of fulfillment. Tunney somehow
has lost contact with the news
pages during recent months and
even the magnified Importance
Of his approach has failed to
stimulate more than a casual
mention Of the fact in the sport
sections.
He also may be interested in
the rumo" that he no longer is
of the social register. I mention
this as q rllmor because I know
nothing of the organ in question
being a person whose simple
needs are answered by the tele,
phone directory.

BLAME CAS-
TANKFOR
BLAST

Explosion Of a carbon acid
tank used in connection with the
soda fountain, but stored in the
hot-furnace compartment, was
blamed today by Capt. A. r.
McGonegal, plumbing inspector,
for the blast at the McCrory five
and-ten-cent store on November
81. Six persons were killed and
more than two,score injured.
McGonegal, testifying before a
coroner's jury which began an in
quest yesterday, declared that the
high pressure carbon BOTTLES"
are marked with red tags Rad
ing KEEP in cool place"
The furnace room was the
most inappropriate of all places
for their storage, he declared.
Outside Law
The surprising revelation was
made that there is no regulation
in the District determining the
storage Of these bottles" The
carbon bottles" contain liquid
with a pressure of between 1000
and 1000 pounds. McGcnegal
said. They are constructed Of
metal, are about eight inches in
diameter and approximately four
and one-half feet long.
Any contact with high tempera.
ture would cause the pressure in
the bottles" to become con.
stantly greater, the plumbing in
Spector said. He said from the
best information he had that
there we're about six or seven Of
the tanks in the furnace room.
One of the tanks, attached to a
carbonator, was directly behind
the heating tank, McGonegal
said he believed. The carbonator
was wrecked, only three small
pieces Of 1t being found.
Hot Water Safe
McGonegal said be believed 1t
impossible for the hot water tank
which burst to have exploded
from steam generated within it.
The heater. flush valves. faucets,
or other outlets, would have burst
first, had there been excessive
steam, he declared.
preliminary explosion created
a conclusion Of the air which
compressed the walls of the water
tank, he said. Water is almost
noncompreSSible, according to the
plumbing inspector, and the
force from without burst the tank.
The super-heated water being
released generated into steam in
the top Of the tank as the tank
moved upward, he testified.
McGonegal expla ined that
water becomes steam at 212 de-
greeS at atmospheric pressure.
Within the alright tank, it
would reach about 200 degrees be-
fore becoming steam, he said.
Thus breaking of the tank at
the bottom reduced all the water
in the tank atmospheric pres
sure, allowing that in the top to
become steam though the air
didn't touch it.

The information was not
given at the inquest into
Scrivener's death, Sandberg
said.
"That was up to those
handling the matter, he said
"This office had nothing to
do with that. The informa-
ton we had was available
if wanted"
When questioned as to who
he meant by Those handling
the matter" he said he meant
the detectives who conducted
the original investigation into
Scrivener's death.
The fingerprint sandberg found
was not complete. It was ap,
parently the side Of one thumb.
However, it could be matched
with prints from the fingers OF
the person who made it without
a doubt, he said.
Disease Report False
The police theory Of suicide"
in the killing Of Scrivener re-
ceived another jolt today when
DR.. Joseph Bateman, Scrivener's
personal physician, told the
Grand Jury that the police report
of Scrivener having an insidious
disease was untrue.
Shortly after DR.. Bateman lett
the Grand Jury room. John F.
Maragon, formal pal Of the late
detective, told reporters that
when he goes before the Grand
Jury this afternoon, he will ask
that his finger prints, those OF
his wife and of every member OF
the police force be taken and COM
pared with the print on the death
gun in an effort to clear the mys-
terry
Maragon also stated that If
the Grand Jury approved his Sug-
gestion for all concerned, he will
also suggest that the work OF
finger-printing members of the
Metropolitan Police be done by
the Department of Justice or any
other agency than the police de.
partment itself.
DR.. Bateman, upon leaving the
Grand Jury room, declared he
had broken the silence with which
he clothed himself at the Cor

well, Judges generally have con-
strued it as Congress intended

passage of that law believe the

pointed out that if a man knows
