ALLEN FILES SUIT
FOR BACK WAGES
Claims Clarendon Real Estate
Company Owes Him $3.50
Under Agreement.
BY a STAFF Correspondent of The star.

by n stan Correspondent VI Inc StdEs
ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, va, November 6.-Records in
the clerks Office today revealed that
Robert j. Allen, suspended policeman
of the Washington force, has filed suit
here against the Brumback Realty Co.
of Clarendon for $3.50 which, he claims,
is due him under an agreement that
was made when he was employed by
the local concern last May. Allen is
represented by Attorney Amos O.
Crounse.
According to the papers in the case,
Allen claims that on last May % he
was employed by the Brumback Realty
Co.. as a salesman for the period of four
months, he having obtained leave OF
absence from the Washington Police
Department for that length of time.
After having worked there for five
weeks, during which time he was paid
at the rate Of $40 per week, he claims,
he was dismissed without notice and
for no reason. Since the real estate
firm had agreed to pay him $40 weekly
he alleges in the suit, he is due the sum
of $3.50, the difference in the salary
that he would have received had he
been permitted to work for the entire
four month period.
AS further evidence Of the fact that
he was an accepted employe of the
concern, he alleges, the realty COM
pany had printed, after he had beer
there for a short time, cards showing
him as advertising manager" a posi-
ton to which he was assigned aftel
Clarence r. Ahalt, attorney for the
Brumback Realty Co., stated today thai
he had nothing to say other than thai
Judge Howard w. Smith had continued
the case until the next term of cour
and that his client owes Allen nothing
and will have no difficulty in proving
this fact.

PRINCE MACMILLAN
OF BADEN EXPIRES
Last Imperial Chancellor Of
Germany Dies at Age
of 81 Years.
Bv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CONSTANCE. Baden, Germany, No.
vember 6.--Prince Macmillan Won
Baden, last imperial German chancel-
lor, and heir to the grand duchy of
Baden, died here today at 5:45 am. He
was 81 years old.
Prince Macmillan had been ailing for
a year from arterial trouble. About
three weeks ago he had fall indoors

moval from Salem Castle. his home, to
the municipal hospital, where his con-
dition grew rapidly worse.
Princess Louise, royal princess Of
Great Britain, was summoned to his

HAYES TO DISCUSS
DRY PURCHASE ACT
Senator From Missouri Will
Oppose Proposal in Radio
Forum.

Senator Harry B. Halves Of Missouri
will discuss the proposal to make pur-
chasers of liquor guilty of law violation
along with the bootleggers in the Ma
tional Radio Forum arranged by The
Star and sponsored by the Columbia
Broadcasting System at 1890 pm. to-
morrow. Senator Halves will attack the
proposal, which has been advanced by
Senator Sheppard of Texas. The Texas
Senator, who was q co-author of the
eighteenth amendment to the Constitu-
ton, defended the plan to make pur-
chasers of liquor guilty of violating the
law in the National Radio Forum last
week.
The Senator from Missouri takes the
view that prohibition enforcement would
be made more difficult by making the
purchasers of liquor guilty of law vio-
lation. He is opposed to prohibition as
it now stands however, and believes
that the law should be amended so as
to permit the sale of alcoholic bev-
erages through Government agency
Senator Halves also considers that the
proposal of Senator Sheppard is outside
of and beyond the constitutional
amendment for prohibition, since that
amendment prohibits the manufacture
sale and TRANSPORTATION of liquor fol-
beverage purposes, but does not prohibit
its purchase.
Senator Halves has had a wide ex.
perience in public life. At one time hi
was president of the police board Of
| st. Louis, his home city. During the
World War he served as major in the
military intelligence, and he servec
! three terms as member of the House
before he was elected and entered upor
| his duties as Senator. He was elected
to the Senate in 1926 to fill the I@.
expired term OF the late Senator
| Spencer and to the full term of sis
years which expires in March, 1888
Like Senator Sheppard. Senator Halves
is a Democrat. He insists, however
that the question of prohibition shoulc
be treated in non-partisan way, anc
believes that a national referendum
should be held.

city governments and, in one case, the
State Of Florida, were asked about.
Senator Blaine, Republican, Of Wis.,
consin, brought out that G. C. Belcher
of Texas was one of several men to
whom the tariff association paid money
for use as expenses in making a trip
to Washington. Belcher was a candi-
date on the Democratic ticket for Con-
gress in the sixteenth Texas district.
Previous testimony had disclosed that
Arnold and John H. Kirby, millionaire
Texan. who is president of the tariff
association, were interested in having
Belcher move across the county line,
into the Fifteenth Texas district. and
run against Representative John Gar
ner, the Democratic floor leader, on a
Republican ticket.
Arnold testified that Belcher was paid
$500 for expenses in attending a meet
ing here as delegate appointed by the
commissioner Of agriculture in Texas.
| Men in several Southern States were
paid amounts ranging from $500 to
| 81 100 for work as delegates to meet
| ings, and in some cases as organizers
| for the two organizations.
In the realm of finance Senator
Blaine brought out that Arnold solicited
various organizations, irrespective Of
their business, for contributions. Al
one time Arnold drew sight drafts or
100 banks in Texas asking for In
dividual contributions of $40. At Other
times he canvassed select list OF banks
In Georgia and Alabama IN the samt
manner. He said he didn't expect al
of the banks TO contribute, but that
good many of them did.
do you think the bank had right
to take the money Of its stockholders
| and depoSitors and contribute to YOU
organization?" Senator Blaine asked.
IT certainly do" Arnold said.
ITO Educate Bankers"
Blaine asked the witness why he can
vassed so many banks, and Arnold sale
it was to educate the bankers to wha
the Southern Tariff Association wa
doing.
one of the letters Arnold wrote t;
a public utilities company in Virginia
expressed the opinion that public utili
ties are not in position to shift theil
tax burden as other corporations art
and therefore should be more con
cerned in the lowering of corporation
taxes. I'VE should be glad to have YOU
Join with us and contribute $40 In on
work." his letter said.
typical letters in a voluminous CORE
spondence were read by Senator Blaine
A study Of the books of the two or
Plantations disclosed to Senator Blain
that Arnold paid s4oo month rent TO
officers in the Munsey Building ant
that on one occasion a general expens
item" In the amount of $4,000 wa
made payable to the Munsey Trust CO
when, as a matter Of fact, the none,

J gether with his observation that tn

inspect letter and see If It was a COM
munication he had forwarded to Mai.
Pratt. Allen identified the letter and
his signature.
Nov you may go ahead and explain
the letter as you wish, telling us where
you wish to say you were not insubor-
dinate or disreSpectful in 1t or where
you were," Inspector Stoll directed.
1--WE been reading the letter and the
charges over quite Bit" Allen respond
ed. IT don't see a single part where
was 1nSubordinate or disrespectful. I
would like the board to explain just
what portions of my letter were inSub-
ordinate or disrespectful."
Capt. Lord interviewed at this point
and expressed the opinion that 1t was
for the board to determine later from q
thorough study of the letter whether it
was insubordinate or disrespectful.
Have you anything more to say about
it?" Capt. Lord demanded.
II thought Maj. Pratt would explain
the charges and was ready to answer,
but I don't see how can do so since
he has failed to clarity the matter"
Allen testified. ct see nothing in
subordinate or disrespectful. AS q police
officer I have authority to investigate
any crime or suspected crime. In a
time of stress it isn't up to the head of
the Police Department to say whether
a policeman has violated one or two
minor regulations. To whom does a
policeman owe the greater responsible
ity, the public or the major and SUPER
intendent? To the public, think"
Allen then went into a detailed ac-
count of his connection with the case
of w. L. Moffatt. who was arrested as
the result of work by Allen in connec-
ton with stock transactions, and Bit
terly attacked Moffatt. It was the Moi
fatt case out of which his present trou-
BILE grew.
Lynch's Objection Overruled.
Mr.. Lynch objected that Allen was
going too deeply into the details of the
Moffatt case. adding that this is a
trial for INSTRUMENTATION and disrespect
because of the defendants letter."
II realize that. Mr.. Lynch, but I
don't want to cllrtail the witness in
anything he would like to say" Inspec-
tor Stoli ruled. you go ahead"
Allen then explained that Capt. Doyle
had instructed him to take the proper
action in the Moffatt case" The de-
PENDANT added that he went to the
ONCE of the district attorney and a
warrant was issued for Moffatt. He then
told of the arrest of Moffatt by William
Burke, q precinct detective, in his pres
ence.
He admitted saying at was going to
bring him (Moffatt) to justice and I
meant it. I also said was going to
investigate the district attorneys Of
fee"
"who did you say that tor" inquired
Inspector Stoll.
"Price of the Post and Tighe Of the
Herald, I think. The next day got
a letter from the major and superin-
tendent quoting the Post as saying I
intended to investigate the district at
torney's office"
After denying he had been called
upon by police officials to certify to
newspaper stories attributed him prior
to his statement that he intended to
investigate the district attorneys office,
Allen made his closing argument in
which he told the Trial Board he knew
he was through as policeman.

Coach Jock Sutherland, have an
auspicious outlook for the season
and may go undefeated II six stars

six stars who have been playing to-
gether on the varsity eleven for the
past two years and formed the
backbone of Pitts undefeated fresh
men team of 1925.
These six stars, who have played
in almost every game for the past
two years, are Joe Donchess, of
Youngstown, Ohio, mentioned as All
American end last year; Tom Park
