the trio was under arrest for stealing

prisoner had been seen to emerge from
the shed with several Slides" They
gave chase and he was captured.
With assumed gravity the detectives
placed several sheets of blank paper in
an envelope and presented it to the
boy, who described himself as the
president" of the theater, with in
structions to appear in court tomorrow
with their captive and the envelope un-
opened.

ECHO OF WARE CASE
IN SUPREME COURT
Senate Authority to Arrest Phila-
delphia Sheriff Is
Involved.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
One phase of the controversy over
the election of William S. Ware as SEN
ator from Pennsylvania was before the
Supreme Court today in case in which
the authority of the Senate to arrest
Sheriff Thomas w. Cunningham of
Philadelphia for refusal to answer GER
tain inquiries during the Reed inves-
tigation is questioned.
Cunningham refused to disclose the
source of his income after he had tes-
tifled that he had contributed $4,000
to the Republican State committee in
1925, at the time he was clerk of the
Quarter Sessions Court at a salary of
$4,000 year.
He was arrested by a deputy sergeant
at arms of the Senate in compliance
with resolution adopted by that body,
requiring his appearance before it. He
insisted that If he was wanted as wit
ness he should have been subpoenaed
and not arrested, and challenged the
power OF the Senate to punish him on
the charge of contempt.
The Federal District Court at Phila-
delphia refused to release him on habeas
corpus proceedings, but the Circuit
Court of Appeals held that the arrest
was illegal.
The Senate appealed to the highest
court and was represented by former
Attorney General George w. Wicker
sham. He will contend that the Senate
had power to make arrests to bring per-
sons before 1t, and will urge the resolu-
ton under which the arrest was made to
support the argument that the Senate
wanted further to examine him and had
not sought to hold him under arrest for
contempt.

CLASH ON SINCLAIR
SHADOW|NG CASE
Attorneys Address Supreme
Court on Appeal of Oil
Magnate.

BY the Associated Press.
Owen j. Roberts of the Governments
special oil counsel and Martin w. Lit
Teton, attorney for Harry F. Sinclair,
matched oratory today before the Su-
preme Court in the closing arguments
in the contempt of court case against
the oil man.
Yesterday the sentence of Sinclair to
three months in jail for contempt of
the Senate. growing out of his refusal
to answer questions by an investigation
committee inquiring into the Teapot
Dome oil lease, was upheld. The case
at issue today resulted from the shad-
owing of the jury trying Sinclair and
Albert B. Fall for conspiracy.
Roberts said that while the evidence
did not show that Burns detectives
actually got In contact with the jurors,
their activities showed an unlawful in
tent. He insisted that the trial court
should be sustained in its efforts to
protect itself against what he termed
was the improper conduct of Sinclair
and his associates.
Declaring that his emphasis was due
to his zeal, after mature elaboration,
Littleton denied that there had been
any contact with the jury or any in
tent except to protect it against inter-
ference. Justices Van Devanter, Nc
Reynolds, Sutherland and Butler SEEM
ed to disagree with this conclusion and
Littleton with great vigor, sought to
maintain his position.
When he asserted that the evidence
was barren of anything except suspi-
cion" and that it supported his asser-
ton that it was merely jury shadowing
for the protection of the jury, Justice
Van Devanter asked whether the ap-
pfoach of detectives to members of the
families of some of the jurors sustained
such an argument.
Littleton replied, st do" The JUS
tice as promptly asserted. II do not"
Justices McReynolds, Sutherland and
Butler took up the same line of inquiry,
advancing similar views, but Littleton
refused to yield.

May 20 to IS Set Apart as Period
for Eliminating Trash From
Premises.

The District Commissioners today
set the week of May 20 to Is as Clean
up week. During this week the city's
trash collection service will call for and
take away trash and waste material of
a kind not usually handled by the
trash man, such as discarded furniture

mlssioners that Cleanup week this year
be abandoned.
He said that last year considerable
quantity of extra miscellaneous refuse
was collected fron1a ouseholders andsde-
posted on the Benning and Congress
sional Cemetery dump As these dumps
are now closed to combustible material,
Mr.. Hacker said, 1t would be impossible
for the trash plant to absorb It in adj
dition to the normal quantity of house
hold refuse put through the plant In
the two shifts now operated daily.
The Commissioners however, made a
second recommendation for Cleanup

LONDON TO TAKE Up
NAVAL SLASH PLEA
Cabinet Expected to Study
U. S. Proposal at Session
Tomorrow.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 23.-It was authori-
tatively learned today that disarmament
proposals advanced at Geneva yesterday
by Hugh L. Gibson. American Ambas-
sador to Belgium, will be given immedi-
ate closest attention by highest British
officials.
The situation raised by the Ambas-
sador's proposals, representing as they
do the attitude of the United States
Government. is expected to be pre-
sented the cabinet officially at its regu-
lar Wednesday session in Downing
street tomorrow.
General Approval Given.
1t was pointed out here today that
there was not a single discordant note
in the welcome which the British press
accorded Mr.. Gibsons suggestions and
that there seemed universal rejoicing
that Lord Cushendun, the British rep
resentative at the preparatory commits
sion parley, where the suggestions were
preached, had risen to the occasion and
pledged Great Britain's whole-hearted
cooperation.
British opinion was Inclined to ascribe
to President Hoover personally ad-
vances made yesterday at Geneva in
the interest of worldwide agreement
on naval disarmament.
There was feeling that on it's i'm
piled basis of disarmament among
friends rather than among potential
enemies a genuine friendly chord had
been struck which might easily presage
naval disarmament conference among
the powers.
Technical Side Stressed.
AS unqualified as was Endorsement of
the spirit of proposals, however, there
was in evidence an element of caution
in acceptance of the methods prescribed
by Ambassador Gibson for reaching an
agreement, that is, the French pro-
posals of limited tonnage, specified ton
mage of categories and comparative
freedom of construction within each
category.
Since the failure of the conference
at Geneva in 1927 naval disarmament
has meant little to the average Briton.
Unquestionably since Mr.. Gibson's
speech yesterday it has assumed a new
Importance, with the entire press
stressing it in front page displays and
leading editorials.

RAIN THREAT PER|LSI

LoWlandS Menaced by
Storm Possibility.

By the Associated Press
QUINCY, ILL.,, April 23.-Possibility OF
rain in the watersheds north of here
held the greatest potential danger today
for nearby Illinois, Iowa and Missouri
lowlands, after prospects of decline IN
the Mississippi River yesterday had
brought hope that the levees might
Withstand the highest waters in 70
years.
Rain today. in the opinion of veteran
observers, would mean that every levee
in this region, from Keokuk Iowa, to
Louisiana, Mo, would be in imminent
danger.
Levee Develops Leak.
A rise of another foot here probably
would send the river through or over
all the dykes in this vicinity. it was pre-
dicted. The water reached 21.5 feet on
the Quincy gauge at midnight. South
Quincy last night faced its most serious
situation since the high water began in
March. hole developed in the levee
and workmen were kept busy all night
to prevent break. It is estimated that
there are approximately million dol
lars worth of homes and improved farm
buildings in the district, which is one of
the most fertile in the endangered Sec
ton. National Guardsmen remained on
patrol duty there.
Concern was still felt today for the
Gregory district, north of Canton, Mo,
which was partly flooded Sunday night.
Hopes that the crest had been reached
were based on reports from Burlington,
Iowa: Keokuk and other points to the
north that the river had either remained
stationary or dropped, and that the
Skunk, Cedar, Iowa and DeS MoineS
Rivers had fallen since Sunday, when
they overlooked their banks.
The Fabius River Rises.
The Fabius River rose yesterday, but
no special concern was felt since this
stream was the one which broke through
in Marion County. Mo-, last Saturday
and its damage already has been done.
The present flood is the most men,
acing that has swept this section in
three-quarters of century. Not since
1851, when the great flood of that year
sent the river to 22.5 feet, has the level
risen so high or remained high for so
long.
The Mississippi first passed the IA
foot food stage this year on March ID;
suddenly rose feet couple of days
later: and had reached the danger stage
by st. Patrick's day. A levee broke in
the Indian Graves district March 81,
flooding 1000 acres. and another went
through the following day, inundating
more than $4,000 additional acres.
The water has not yet receded there
and is still up to the second stories of
some homes.
