much money for transporting the
prisoners. Another Objectionable
feature would be that the sheriff
could not look after the institution
and attend to his Office in the Court
House. 1t also would be inconveni-

torneys to converse. Another site, it
is believed, would be chosen other

To CLARIF Y.
SALARY

Passage by the House of the
Lehlbach pay bill, revising
Government salary schedules
upward and clarifying the
provisions of the Welch act, is
expected today.
Chairman Frederick r. Lehlbach,
of the House Civil Service Commit
tee, who drafted the bill TO meet the
needs of organized Federal workers,
has obtained from House leaders the
assurance that his measure will be
considered today under suspension OF
the rules.
The only Congressional dissatisfac-
tion with the bill thus far expressed
has been by Representative Carl G.
Bachmann of West Virginia, men,
Der of the Civil Service Committee,
who has filed a minority report on
the measure.
His opposition Is based upon pro-
visions touching on the powers OF
the Personnel Classification Board
and on a proviso which would re-
duce salaries of higher-paid workers
who got more money under the
Welch act than Congress intended.
Representatives of organized Fed
eral employees today said they were
extremely hopeful of the passage OF
the bill by the House and that they
do not expect any obstacles in the
Senate.

conferred with three representatives
of the Federal Board for Vocational
Education who urged inclusion in
the District appropriation act of

ised to consider 1t carefully. The
education board representatives
were ]. c. Wright, director; j. c.
Aronoff, secretary, and John A
Kratz, chief of the civilian voca.

the odds and ends of its probe of
the District Police Department and
to formulate a policy which viii
guide Representative Gibson In

Dry Investigators Find
342 Speakeasies Here;
Demand City Cleanup

Picturing Washington as city
"seething in lawlesness and satu.
rated with poison liquor" the Ma
tional United Committee for Law
Enforcement yesterday blamed the
District Commissioners and Con-
gress and called upon the Presi-
dent, the pastors and people to dry
up the city.
Clifton N. Howard. ha.rnan Of
the committee, flayed the Commits
sioners, Congress and the Police
Department for their failure to act,
despite full knowledge of conditions.
Making public a list Of S42 speak
easies visited by -pecial agents of
the committee Howard declared
that while all sorts of liquor was
being dispensed in these establish
ments the police were walking by
with their noses in the air and
itching palms stretched out be-
hind"
Won't Help GraTters
Howard indicated that he did not
intend to turn the evidence f2th-
cred by his investigators over to
the local police department. He
said:
'1f there are grating captains
and policemen. as is charged and
believed, it would be compounding
a felony to furnish them with addi.
a,aFn IN hA
additional shake-dovns.
while the police department Is
not to be excused for conditions
that exist, and is culpable or IN
capable If the conditions are per-
mitted to continue under such au-
thority as they possess, and mex.
cusable for making no visable
attempt to suppress them, the real
responsibility rests higher up"
Howard added.
Even President Coolidge did not
escape Howard's denunciation OF
conditions here.
"At any time during the past
seven wears the President could
have corrected these conditions in
the Nations Capital" he declared.
Congress Afraid
Howard pictured members of
Congress as sitting in the midst of
drunken revelry. yet fearful to tell
the people what they know about
liquor conditions.
The many thousands of visitors
who will come here to see the in.
augura ton will carry home with
them impressions which will not be
limited to the Capitol, Library of
Congress and other show places,
hut will be filled with visions of
vice existing in the city, according
to Howard.
Howard's speech will be printed
and sent to President Coolidge, each
member of the House and Senate
and to every pastor in the city.

classic s
NAME IS
HELD UP

The Senate Judiciary Com
mittee today considered the
nomination of Il enry H.
Classic, of Chevy Chase, Md,
to be an associate justice of
the District Supreme Court
and decided to refer it to a
subcommittee.
The subcommittee is composed OF
Senators Borah, chairman; Steiwer
and Neely. The nomination OF Ir.
vine L. Lenroot, former Senator
from Wisconsin, to the bench of
the Court of Customs Appeals, was
also referred to the subcommittee.
The committee favorably reported
the nomination of F'inis J. Garrett.
minority leader Of the House, as
justice OF the Customs Court.
The fact that the nominations of
Classic and Lenroot were referred
to a subcommittee indicates that
there is opposition to their con-
firmation. The committee meeting
was executive, and so the discussion
of the names was not disclosed. 1t
was learned, however, there were
several objections raised to both
Classic and Lenroot.
Opposition to Classic centers
largely in his career as a member
of the tariff commission, when 1t
was charged that he ruled on sugar
tariff cases despite the fact that
members of his family were
financially interested in Louisiana
cane sugar holdings.
