The 1925 grand jury returned the
present indictments and also an ac-

The state tried to have che ac

to what would be accomplished if
Gillett was convic.ed on the accusa-

W|[LEBRAND 7
To KEEP JOB

Mrs. Mable Walker Willebrandt,
assistant Attorney General in charge
of prohibition affairs, will remain
in that capacity. it was announced
at her office today.
This will put Mrs. Willebrandt
even more directly in a position to
enforce ths dry laws, since it is
anticipated that the prohibition
bureau will be transferred from the
Treasury to the Justice Department.
Strict enforcement of the prohibi-
ton laws, with the words of Presi'
dent Hoover in his Inaugural ad.
dress the basis, will be the policy
of Attorney General Mitchell.
Mitchell has not worked out a
definite plan as yet, but will con-
fer with Mrs. Willebrandt on the
subject soon.
In all probability the new Attor.
ney General will seek additional
funds and will recommend a change
and expansion in the Federal court
system that will permit the more
prompt handling of dry cases. Court
congestion was seen as one of the
principal drawbacks to enforce
ment.
Mitchell feels that a big improve.
ment in enforcement conditions will
be brought about by the investiga-
ton Of crime by the commission TO
~ appointed by President h0VVsE.

10000 WITNESS
FIREWORKS

A spectacular blaze of glory, n
foreworks display on the Monu.
ment grounds that was quite the
most colorful ever seen here,
brought the Inauguration OF 1929
to an official close last night.
Few of the Inaugural visitors
had remained to witness it, but
a home crowd estimated at 10000
with the youngsters in evidence
everywhere, packed the White Lot
and it's surrounding territory to
watch the rockets and the bombs
bursting against the curtain OF sky
and cause a brilliant illumination
of the night.
There were fireworks pictures
of Herbert Hoover and Charles
Curtis, first in white, then in pink
and green; a Navy dirigible in
white and an aeroplane in green
with a golden propeller; pin wheels
and Roman candles. The public
verdict seemed to be that whateYer
the Inauguration may have been
at its start, it had a splendid
windup.
The fireworks exhibition ended
up in traffic snarl which took
the hardest efforts of the police
to unravel. Thousands on foot
poured across Fifteenth Street
while footing automobiles were
stalled and jammed on the Ellipse
waiting for a chance to make a
getaway.

ENGRAVING

Guides and guards at the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing are just
beginning to get rested after one of
the busiest weeks they have had in
many winters.
Inaugural visitors to Washington
flocked to the Bureau in thousands
to watch the employees make the
money, stamps and bonds. The rush
started Friday and continued until
yesterday, with today just about
normal.
Every State in the Union and
many Territories and possessions
were represented in the more than
2,000-a.day.average Of visitors dur.
ing the inaugural period. The av-

institution hourly was reckoned at
about 500.

SCHOOL
SITE SOUGHT

A special committee was today
appointed by the Board of District
Commissioners to investigate a site,
and settle all necessary details for
a health school for tubercular chill
dren which would give them "a
hour treatment.
Authorization was given in an
act of Congress for the erection Of
the school. One of the questions
raised over the matter was whether
parents should send their pupils
there under compulsory law, or
whether the decision of their child's
attendance be left to their own
minds. This Is one of the matters
that will be decided by the CON-
mission.
There are several health schools
in the District where tubercular
children are taken care of and are
given treatment while they are in
school.
The new school would give them
their education and would, 1t is
declared. provide for their care and
cure during their stay at the school.
The commission appointed to
arrange all details is headed by
Major Layson Atkins, assistant
engineer commissioner and includes
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintend'
ent of schools; George s. Wilson,
director of Public Welfare; and A.
l.. Harris, municipal architect.

by the House, according to the
leaders.
Then while the Senate wrestles
with it, the House will take up
tariff revision. II there are any
fireworks in the session they will
center about the tariff.
Mr.. Hoover is opposed to any
general upward revision, taking in
all schedules, and so are most of
the Congressional leaders.
However, the tariff lobby has
been functioning diligently in the
Capital for weeks. and there is
scarcely a commodity that has not
had it's case for increased duties
presented to the Ways and Means
Committee at the hearings just con.
cluded.
His First Proclamation
A proclamation calling the spe-
cial session was issued at the
White House shortly after IL
o'clock, the first to be issued by
Mr.. Hoover as President. and read:
Whereas public interest requires
that the Congress of the United
States should be convened in extra
se ssion at IL o'clock, noon, on the
18th day of April, 1929, to receive
such communications as may be
made by the Executive;
And whereas legislation to effect
further agricultural relief and legis-
Iation for limited changes of the
tariff cannot in justice to our
farmers. our labor and our manu-
facturers be postponed:
Now, therefore, I, Herbert -1oov-
er, President of the United States
OF America, do hereby proclaim and
declare that an extraordinary occa'
sion requires the Congress Of the
United States to convene in extra
session at the Capitol in the city
of Washington on the 18th day nj
April, 1929, at IL o'clock, noon, of
which all persons who shall at that
time be entitled to act as members
thereof are hereby required to take
notice"

gan predicted, after a talk with
the President today, that census
and reapportioDment would be the
first thing enacted by the new
Congress.

from Democrats and a few Republi-

lock case" said Leahy.
II can't produce that either"
Whats the matter?o
Same thing"
"DO you mean that that has gone,
too?"
"Yes, SIR"
Noel said that he last saw the
file in the Blalock case about six
weeks ago and after receiving a
subpoena to bring it before the trial
board, searched for 1t, but was un.
able to find it anywhere. He did not
know why any one had taken it or
what use they could have made
of it.
The Schirmer case has to do
with the petition of Edward Shir'
mer, an investigator for compensa.
ton from the Gibson subcommit-
tee.
Noel represented schirmer in
the case and was also attorney for
Mrs. Blalock from 1921 until early
in 1928.
Noel sprung his second surprise
when Leahy asked him il he re-
called the letters he had written
to The Chemical Paper Company
for Mrs. Blalock.
I'm afraid I'll have to refuse
to answer that question, Mr.
Leahy," said the witness.
Iaahy and the board were visibty
surprised but Noel calmly, reached
for a Weighy law book. fEpped
open q few pages and said. u have
boiled down a few authorities on
the question of the privileges OF
attorneys in relation to their con.
51ectiOns with their clients and l
think these authorities will show
that I'm within my rights in re-
fusing to answer that question.
"Well, don't want to become in
volved in a wrangle," said Leahy,

He then asked. "Did you write
letters to Howenstein Brothers for
Mrs. Blalock?"
"That's a close question" said
Noel.
"Oh, very we'll then, Mr., Noel"
said Leahy, "I'll produce the let
ters."
I'm that case, Mr.. Leahy, I think
it would be all right for me to ad-
nit that wrote them," said Noel.
J. William Weber, a grocer, OF
the 400 block of H st. N. E., tes-
titled that he had bought Mrs. Bla-
locks property at 613 H st. N. E.,
for $4,000 and that former Repre-
sentative Thomas l.. Blanton had
handled the entire transaction and
that he had not seen Mrs. Blalock.
A quantity of household furni'
ture was stored in the establish
ment and BIanton sold that along
with the property. Weber said.
After the transaction had been COM
pleted Blanton moved trunk from
the Fl Street property to his office
in the House Office Building, Weber
testified.

while he was moving the furniture,
Minor, said.
Attorney Leahy took up with Noel
the matter Of the tearing up in the
attorneys office of several docu.
ments by Mrs. Blalcck. Noel said
that he had been out of the office
and that when he returned papers
dealing with Mrs. Blalock's> affairs
had been torn up and strewn over
the deck and floor.
The papers were duplicate tax
bills, a form of lease and a copy of
a letter to the collector Of taxes.
