TALLAHASSEE, Fla, November TO-
Reports that the State of Florida had
contributed $2,050 to the American
Taxpayers League for tariff lobby
have been denied by Gov. Doyle e.
Carlton and former Gov. John Martin.
The present chief executive said that
a check for $2,050.75 had been sent to

eral inheritance tax act.

soon after her funeral.
Winlock said that the tomb, although
undisturbed for 5000 years, had been
entered on two occasions closely sub
sequent to the forceful entry of the
robbers and much that would have fur
nished valuable information was de-
stroyed. He added that obviously the
coft1n was once of a richness comparable
with the outer coffin Of Tut-Ankh-
Amen

OF GUARD ARMORy

Iation or Appropriation for
Housing Military Unit.

A resolution favoring the construc-
ton of a National Guard armory
| through congressional appropriation OF
| by legislation allocating the building now
occupied by the general accounting Office
l for armory purposes was passed unani-
mouSly by the Petworth Citizens ASso-
citation meeting last night at Petworth
School, Georgia avenue and Shepherd
street.
The resolution stresses neglect on the
part of responsible authorities for fail
ure to provide suitable and adequate
armory facilities of a permanent char
acter in the District, contrasting the
encouragement given to community or
CARNATIONS throughout the States in
their pursuit for armories.
Commissioners to Get Resolution.
| A copy of the resolution will be for
warded to the District committees OF
both houses of Congress, the Public
Buildings Commission and to the Dis
trict Commissioners. Copies also will
be sent to the chief of the Bureau of
Military Affairs of the War Department
and to the commanding officer of the
District National Guard.
A second resolution, favoring the
merging of the two District street car
companies, was adopted by the associa-
ton. The resolution urged Congress to
take immediate action on the project.
The citizens voted against the chang
ing of Rock Greek Church road into a
one-way street west. and deferred ac-
ton on the problem for an investiga-
ton by the associations committee on
streets.
Favor Christmas Tree.
The association went on record as
favoring q community Christmas tree,
to be placed In the center Of Sherman
Circle on Christmas Eve. +
Action on the compulsory automobile
insurance proposal for the District will
be discussed at the next meeting Of the
association.
A department of education in the
Government to be headed by a cabinet
officer was advocated in an address by
James G. Yaden, delegate to the Fedora
ton of Citizens Association and former
president of that organization.
Mr. Yaden urged the citizens to take
action on the free text book bill for
high schools in the District. He ex-
pressed belief that he can get hearings
before the Senate committees on the
~ and asked the citizens to cooper
alSswith him to that end. The bill was
reCsantly recommended by the District
0s9missioners. Yaden also stated he
would make every effort to get sena-
DnRFl hearings on the elective school
pcaAd bill.

Minnesota Congressman Is
Expected to Inject HUI
NOR In Dull Sessions

MINNEAPOLIS, July 15.-(P-
Minnesota offers a candidate-in
the person of w. /. Nolan, repre-
sentative elect-for the relief of the
lamented dizziness in the Congress
sional Record with a little inten-
tional humor.
Nolan, lieutenant governor, a re-
publican, was chosen to succeed
Walter Newton, representative from
the fifth district who resigned after
his appointment as secretary to
President Hoover.
The prCof-sheets will show that
Nolan has been a professional lee
turer and humorous entertainer for
Is years. The chatauqua platform
has known him.
Nolan, however, plans to serve
in congress as a listener"
TT is my conviction that too
much talk has killed many good
bills" he observed. Most Of us
are too long-Winded."
Nolan tried out his voice first as
q neWSbOy. Soon after ne became
an amateur actor, while his news
boy colleague; the late DR.. Marion
Leroy Burton. began a career that
carried him to the presidency Of the
Universities Of Michigan and Min
neSota.
In 1894, when William Mckinley
made his keynote speech in Mime
apolis, Bill" Nolan, 20, entertained
the crowd with a dialect speech
Gliding the Cleveland adminiStra-
ton. The next day he was copy"
on front pages all yer the country
and 1900 persons who heard him
emphasized the hit he had made by
inviting him to many states to give
his reading.
Despite Nolan'5 aVoWed intentions
to listen to congress, MlnneSota
folks are confident that Bill will
give a few humorous lines to the
Record.

Judge Lyle said:
Il warned him several times 1
would give him ten days. Then he
started from the courtroom and 1
caught him with the sentence
just before he left. He was at

Judge Lyle sent his personal
bailiff after Mccarthy. The bail
if reported back Mccarthy had
threatened him with a revolver.
The contempt sentence re-
ported back Mccarthy had threat
ened him with a revolver.
The contempt sentence resulted
from conduct by the detective
chief during the trial of another
police officer charged with making
false arrests.
