kula, loomed today, as this Canadian

tion from President Hoover to whom

Of patrolmen.

ing Of q charge Of second degree

liquor runners.

charge has been set for July 2, and
he was remanded to Jail in default
of $1,000 bond. It remained uncer-
tain whether he would be tried in a
federal or state court.

courts Of the case against White.

Arrogant Lawlessness'
"While we would. when dealing

ENDURANCE PLANE
PLANS INCOMPLETE
Expect Grew to Be Received by
Distinguished Group at
Boiling Field.

The Army's record endurance plane
Question Mark and the five members
of her crew who kept the big plane in
the air nearly 151 hours probably will
not begin their return trip from Los
Angeles to this city before the end of
this week or some time next week, 1t
was announced today at the War De-
partment.
Whether Maj. Carl Spatz and his sub
ordinates on the fight will be given an
official reception upon their return to
Boiling Field has not been decided def
nitely 1t is likely, however, that they
will be greeted by one of the most dis
tinguished gatherings of Government
aeronautical officials that has been
gathered at the local field for some time.
The Question Mark and the three
motors which held 1t aloft longer than
any other aircraft are undergoing q
thorough overhauling at Los Angeles to-
day. According to word received by
Army officials here today, the motors
were not badly worn at any point and
will be ready for use after minor ad-
justmentS. Whether these motors will
be used for the return flight has not
been determined.
The Question Mark will be flown back
to Washington by the same crew that
took her West and which includes four
Washingtonians: Maj. Spatz, Capt. Ira
C. Eaker, Lieut.. Elwood Quesada and
Sergt. Roy Hooe. The fifth member,

PARKS PROJECTS
APPROVAL URGED
Memorial Reservation Along
Potomac and Fairgrounds
Before Trade Board.

A recommendation that the Board
of Trade give its support to the legis-
lation proposed by Representative
Cramton of Michigan providing fol-
development of a George Washington
Memorial Parkway along both sides OF
the Potomac River and for the ex.
penditure of $16,000000 for extension
of the park. parkway and playground
system in the District has been placed
before the officers and directors Of the
board by the parks committee, it was
announced today.
Both projects, it was declared in a
report by John DeLaMater, acting
committee chairman. would result ir
great benefit to the District and should
be started as soon as possible to avoid
destruction of the natural beauty OF
the sites proposed, now declared ir
progress.
100000 Needed for Memorial.
Authorization of a maximum appro.
priation Of 100000 for the memorial
parkway along the Potomac, no part
of the cost of which would be assessed
against taxpayers of the District, is
provided in the legislation, it was ex.
planned.
For the financing Of the extension
OF the park and Fairgrounds system in
the District, the bill proposes that a
loan of $l6.000000 be advanced to the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission without interest and to be
paid back out of District revenues al
the rate of 100000 yearly, the COM
mittee explained.
When consideration OF the District
phases of the proposed measure comes
before the officers and directors of the
Board of Trade, it is expected that
opposition will develop to the proposed
method Of financing, since the entire
cost of the projects-less interest
charges-would come out of District
revenues, it was said.
The parks committee, however, re-
ported to the boards directors that 1--WE
believe 1t would be exceedingly unwise
and inexpedient to attempt to inject
into consideration of this bill the fiscal
relations matters, as such attempt would
tend to create controversy which would
necessarily be entirely outside the merits
Of the proposed legislation"

a plan of farm relief which would be de-
veloped
1t does not appear now that President
Coolidge or Mr.. Hoover will take any
steps to urge. upon. Congress the pas
sage of the farm bill at the present
session. Senators who have been in
sistent that the President and Mr.. Hoo
yer, either S1ngly or jointly, urge en-
actnent OF the farm bill. now have
reached the conclusion that neither the
President nor Mr.. Hoover Is going to
say anything further about farm legisla-
ZION now. In the absence of any move
on the part OF the President ard Mr..
Hoover TO bring about legislation deal
ing with the farm problem immediately,
1t is believed that the matter will have
to go over to a special session of Con-
gress. Furthermore, the impression Is
gaining ground that the special session.
II 1T comes, will be called this coming
Fall.
Senator Jones of Washington called
upon Mr.. Hoover today to pay his re-
spects to the President-elect. This is
the first opportunity that the WASH
ington Senator has had to see Mr..
Hoover since the days before the Re-
publican national convention last June.
Other callers included Representatives

den. all Of Pennsylvania, and Repre-
sentative French of Idaho, Representa-
tive Evans of California, Mrs. Langley,
Representative from Kentucky, and
Representative Thatcher, also of Ken
lucky, and Representative Taylor Of
Tennessee.
Senator McNary, chairman Of the
committee on agriculture and author of
the farm bill which is believed to rep
resent the views of Mr.. Hoover as well
as OF the present administration, is ex-
pected to call upon Mr.. Hoover to-
morrow.

NEW PNEUMONIA
. SERUM DEVELOPED
New York Health Officials
Produce Effective Re-
fined Anti-body.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January "a refined
concentrated serum which may cure
20 per cent more cases of lobar pneu-
monia has been developed recently as
the result Of experiments conducted by
the Bureau of Laboratories Of the New
York Department of Health, it was
learned yesterday.
The serum, according to DR.. William
H. Park, head of the bureau, is the re-
suit of tests conducted for five years,
which had six months ago produced a
specific anti-serum of only one-tenth
the strength of the present anti-body.
The new serum, obtained by lnocu-
lating horses with certain types of dead
pneumococci, has been refined and con-
centrated by DR.. Lloyd FELTON, of Har-
ward and DR.. Edwin Banzhaf in CO.
operation with DR.. Park and DR.. Milton
j. Rosenau.
The unrefined serum, which has been
used successfully in treating patients
in Bellevue, Harlem and other hospi-
tails, was viewed as dangerous by many
clinicianS. it was explained, because 1t
often developed serum sickness or chills
The new serum on the other hand
is more effective because horse protein
has been removed. and the dose to the
patient may be small and readily ad-
minstered without danger Of severe
reactions.
The treatment of lobar pneumonia
by specific anti-serum, DR.. Park ex-
planned, has been used for a number
of years, but no outstanding results
were achieved because the type OF
pneumococcus causing particular
case of pneumonia was not generally
identified.
There are 10 different types OF
pneumococci," DR.. Park explained. "1t
is important to know the type, as, for
example, Type anti-body is effective
only against Type l organisms. OF
the Is types we only have enough
serum for Types /. 2 and 3, and the
serum is only effective for Types !
and g"
DR.. Park explained that the best re-
suits in the general treatment of pneu-
monia are obtained from Polyvalent
serum, the mixing of several sera, be-
cause the pneumonia resulting from
different pneumococci may be in
distinguishable at the beginning of ILL
ness.

z0NING LAW CHANGE
MAY BE REQUESTED
Prince Georges County Commits
sioners, However, Are Not Heard
From by Legislature as Yet.
By a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

BY stan correspondent or The star.
STATE HOUSE, ANNAPOLIS, MD,
January 9.-While 1t is probable that
there will be effG'ts at the current se;-
sion Of the Maryland General Assembly
TO make some change in the coming lew
for Prince Georges County, adopted at
the last session Of the Legislature in
connection with the development of the
Metropolitan district of Greater Wash
ington, it was said that no recon-
mendations have yet come from the
county commissioners of that county.
Chairman Benjamin Morris of the
Prince Georges delegation in the House
said that he had received no commune
cation from the county commissioners
IN regard to the proposed change, but
said that there was some opposition to
the law.
1t was indicated by leaders in the
lower Howse, however, that the county
commissioners would be appeased by
raising their salaries. 1t was pointed
out that the principal objection which
they had to the law was the Increased
burden of work and responsibility which
was placed on them by the law.
Chairman Morris said he did no
believe the county would want K
change or repeal the law, because the
county would be allowed to develop
close TO the district line, in a haphazart
way, which would make difilcult ant
expensive If not impossible correction
in later years. He said, in his opinion
the law itself should not be changed.
A change in the appointive power o
the county police force provided for a
the last session of the legislature, alst
probably will be presented, it was in
dicated. There is disposition to tax
the appointment and control of thi
force from the county sheriff to tn
commissioners, who are responsible
for raising the funds for its support
1t Is proposed to take the force from
the sheriff, and leave him to perform
the civil duties Of his Office, in the sam
manner as these police and civil affair
are run in Montgomery County.

.M'CLOSKEy FACES !.
NEW OBSTACLES
Judge Williams Admits Error
in Reporting Election Re-
turns in Texas.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, January g.
Congressman-elect Augustus ]. McClos-
key today faced two obstacles to his as
piration to serve the fourteenth Texas
district in the lower house of Congress.
In District Court here his criminal
trial upon a series of indictments
charging he, as county judge, altered
the returns Of the November election
to show he defeated Harry M. Wurz-
bach, the Republican incumbent, by
627 votes, again was on CALL
At Austin, the State capital, the
State canvasSing board had before 1t
the sworn statement of County Judge
j. B. Williams of Guadalupe County
that he had made a serious mistake in
reporting the returns from that county
an error which if corrected would far
more than wipe out the McCloskey adj
vantage.
Judge Explains Error.
Judge Williams explained late yester-
day that in filling out official forms he
mistakingly set down WurZbach's ma
jority of 2,081 instead of the actual vote
cast for him, 2,806, at the same time
accurately reporting the vote of 725 cast
for McCloSkey.
Upon the filing of Judge Williams
affidavit, Mrs Jane Y. McCallum, sec
rotary of state, referred the matter to
Claude Pollard, State attorney general,
who ruled that filing OF the new county
report would require the reopening OF
the canvass. A meeting of the canvass
ing board was called for today.
There still was talk of change OF
venue for McCloskey's criminal trial,
although the defense indicated 1t would
resist such a maneuver. The proSecu-
ton could not request trial in some
other county, but in some quarters pre-
dictionS were made that Judge w. w.
McCrory would order change OF venue
upon his own motion because OF the
prominence of McCloSkey and the wide
publicity given the case.
81 think fair jury can be obtained
in Bexar County" said Dave Watson.
chief of McCloskey's counsel. "Of
course, we would be prepared to protest
If such a contingency should arise"
After the case was postponed Monday
because of the death of the mother Of
member of defense counsel, the de-
tense served notice of several motions
to quash the indictments against Nc
Closkey, and argument upon them
promised to require most of the court
today.
Approximately 800 veniremen. had
been summoned, however, for possible
selection for jury work.

count of departmental interpretations
OF q technical nature"
The opinion of the controller general
on the WEIGH act, Steward explained,
limited rate increases to employees who,
on June 80, 1928, were allocated to the
three lowest rates in the lower grades
and one-way increase to those In rates
above the third"
THE Lehlbach BILL" he continued,
will grant an increase of an additional
rate to employees who were in the fourth
rate of one of these grades on June 80,
leaving those in the higher rates un-
changed,
we contend that a correct interpre-
tation of the intention OF Congress, as
expressed in the relative-position clause,
would grant two rate increases to en-
ployes who were allocated on June 80, to
all except maximum rates in the re-
Spective grades"
Steward opposed fatty the Lehlbach
proposal to reduce salaries of some
higher-paid employees, even though"
he added, I'VE differed with the Con-
troller General at the time he handed
down the ruling by which these en-
ployes benefited to a considerable ex-
tent"
