PROBER Of DE KING
KILLING CENSURED
Illinois Legislature Says
Prosecutor Disqualified
Self in Rum Case.

BY the Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, June T. De-
nunciation of "lawleSs law enforce
ment' in Kane County was contained
in a report last night to the State Leg
islature by the committee appointed to
investigate the Staying at Aurora, ILL.,
last March of Mrs. Lillian De King
during a raid on her home by State
officers.
After hearing the report, which Sc
verely criticized States Attorney George
D. Carbary of Kane County, Circuit
Judge John H. Newhall of Aurora and
members of CarbaryS staff, the House
of Representatives voted to defer action
until today.
Judge Is Censured.
The committee censured Judge New
hall for campaigning for Carbary in
1928 when Carbary was seeking the
Republican nomination for States at
torney.
After the nomination of said Car
barry in the April primary the lawless-
ness heretofore existing in Kane
County was succeeded by period of
lawless law enforcement" the report
stated.
Carbary's chief investigator was de-
scribed as "a consort of the most no
torious vice lord of Kane County" and
his other investigators as 'of the low
est type, consisting of eX-convictS and
persons, who, while under indictment,
were released from jail by the States
attorney for the purpose OF acting as
prohibition Investigators"
Disqualified Self.
Carbary, the report declared. had
definitely disqualified himself in the De
King case by publicly announcing the
morning after the Staying that he was
100 per cent behind the officers" who
raided the De King home on a per-
jured warrant, clubbed Joseph De King
unconscious and shot Mrs. De King.
While conducting the grand jury in
vestigation into the Staying, the report
said Carbary suppressed material evi-
dence, placed other evidence in an un-
natural and untruthful light and placed
evidence wholly immaterial to the mat
ter In investigation for the sole purpose
of arousing prejudice and clouding the
issue"
The report urged that the attorney
general be petitioned to take charge
of @ new investigation of the Staying
and that judge from a disinterested
district be assigned to preside. It also
recommended legislation making 1t I'M
lawful for States attorneys to employ
investigators on "per buy basis and
that all investigators be made to qualify
before a circuit or county judge.

CANADA-TO-SOUTH
HIGHWAY IS URGED
Route Through U. S. to South
America Advocated at Road
Builders Farley.

Speakers at the annual dinner of the
American Road Builders Association, at
the Willard Hotel last night, urged con-
struction of pan-American highway
from Canada through the United
States, Mexico. Central America and
South America, and characterized &C
complishment of this project as the
greatest promoter of peace. The din
ner was held in connection with the
formal induction into Office of the
newly elected president, Frederick
Reimer, of East Orange, N. j., and
members of the board of directors.
j. M. Robson, State higway official
from Kentucky, declared that the ex-
istence of highways before 1861 would
have averted the Civil War.
IF road building was made an inter-
national proposition Mr.. Robson de-
clared. "a road from Canada through to
South America would do more to bring
about peace and harmony than all the
Ambassadors. Let these people know
us and let us know them and there will
be no misunderstanding" the speaker
said.

Senator Phipps of Colorado and Capt.
Irving O'Hay also spoke.
More than 800 representatives from

HEALTH OFFICER
ASKS FOR S569,585
Or. Fowler Presents Plea for
Big Extension of Work
in Schools.

Considerable extension Of the work
of the Health Department in hygiene
and sanitation in the District school
system IS contemplated in the est-
mates of expenditures in the fiscal year
of 1881, submitted by Health Off1cer
William c. Fowler and made public by
Daniel J. Donovan, the District budget
officer, today.
The total appropriation asked for by
the Health Department is 1859 ,5S5. 80, as
compared with an appropriation Of
$432, 100 for the 1890 fiscal year.
In making a plea for the extension
for health work in the schools, DIR.
Fowler argued that this work is being
carried on with the same number of
employees which handled 1t in 1908. In
the intervening IS years, he said, the
school population has practically dou-
bled and the department is not doing
the school work that it should. He
asked for an increase from $7S, 900 to
sl42,625 for this work: This would en-
able the department to employ AZ adj
ditional workers.
Asks Dental Clinic Fund.
DR.. Fowler further asked for $4,000
to establish and equip dental clinics at
the Tyler, Curtis, Henry Schools and
the Cardozo High School.
DR.. Fowler, for the first time in many
years, omitted request for $4,000
for contagious disease hospital. He
called attention to this omission by say
ing he was tired Of asking for what it
seemed clear it was impossible to get.
Asks $194,12O for Salaries.
The appropriation asked for salaries is
S194, 120 as compared with $18l $50 dur
ing 1880. The increase is caused by a
request for an assistant poundmaSter
at 81 $40 per annum, four sanitary in
Spectors with salaries aggregating $1,000
per annum and 1890 for increases In
salaries under the personnel classical
ton act.
For prevention of the spread of con-
tagiouS diseases, Dr. Fowler asked an
increase from $45. 900 to $4,000. Other
appropriations asked for under various
heads are laboratories, $3.50: enforce
ment of pure food law, $8,325; crema-
torium, $3.50; child hygiene service,
$4,000; new heating at pest house,
$4,000.

And Family Go on
White House Tour
DOOrman Is Amazed When
Son of Teddy Asks to
See Ike Hoover.

From out of the throng of SightSeers
milling about the entrance to the White
House a couple of days ago stepped a
TALL slim young man who inquired of
John Mays, the doorkeeper, If he could
see Mr.. Hoover. He was asked if he
had an appointment and he replied
yes, and as he was following the door
man across the hallway, instead of con-
tinuing on toward the room where Wis
itors are received, he headed for a side
room.
The doorman quickly pointed out the
proper room to wait in, to which the
young man replied it was not President
Hoover he wished to see, but Ike
Hoover, head usher.
The doorman'S amazement was still
greater when the young man said:
I'm Archie Roosevelt, who used to
live here, and Ike Hoover is an old
friend of mine"

Roosevelt informed Mr.. Hoover that
Mrs. Roosevelt and their two sons were

like to bring them in and have them
shown about the White House He
added he wasn't seeking special
privileges and only desired to be shown
the rooms and things of interest that
are shown to tourists. Mr.. Hoover
soon met Mrs. Roosevelt and the two
youngsters and he personally conducted
the family about the executive mansion.
Archie recalled many incidents during
the days when he and his brothers
frolicked about the corridors and the
rooms, and laughed heartily when Mr..
Hoover reminded him of some of the
pranks they played upon the attaches
of the White House.

Before leaving, young Roosevelt ex-
pressed a desire to see the men about
the White House today who were work
ing there when his father was Presi-

more than a dozen left. including men,

sible to round up four of them and
Archie shook hands cordially and in
troduced them to his family.
They were: Charles Thompson, mes
senger; Ed Norris, engineer; William
