ATTACKER
Of Z GIRLS

BOSTON, June 25 n.N.s0.-Mas-
sachusetts was searched today for
a bogus automobile salesman, sus-
pected of attacks on two young
women
One, a Cambridge school teacher,
accused him of beating her into
Inconsistencies and then attempt
ing to set fire to her gasoline
soaked clothes.
The other, cripple, was severely
beaten over the head with her own
Crutch.
According to police, the teacher,
whose name, as we'll as that of the
crippled girl was withheld, said she
kept telephone engagement with
man she thought to be a Yale law
student. They drove TO a lonely
spot, where the young man stopped
the car and in a violent rage hurled
her to the ground.
'"This will fix you," he is alleged
to have muttered," as he wrung
a gasoline soaked handkerchief over
her face and drenched her clothing.
She tainted, but regained conscious
ness just in time to prevent herself
from becoming a blazing pyre.

SITE FOR
PLAYGROUND

Following a hearing granted irate
citizens of Cleveland Park, pro-
testing against the proposed play
ground at Macomb Street, between
Thirty-fourth and Thirty-fifth
Streets Northwest, by the Board
of Education, the project probably
will be abandoned at a meeting
of the fun board tomorrow.
The proposed playground was
termed dangerous because of the
traffic hazard at Thirty-fourth and
Macomb Street, which is said to be
one of the most dangerous inter
sections in the city. Two persons
have been killed there in auto
mobile accidents.
The tract contains trees, some of
them more than 100 years old,
which would have to be cut down,
the citizens protested.
The land is across from the
John Eaton school, and Conrad
Syme, chairman of the group,
stated that the new playground
would be unnecessary because of the
grounds attached to the school.
Most of the children, the speakers
said, had large yards Of their own
in which to play, and the establish
ment Of the playground would
change the character of the resi-
dental neighborhood and damage
property values.

T|NNEY SET To
COME BACK"

PHILADELPHIA, June 25.--After
two years of mental breakdown
that some medical men called i'm
durable, Frank Tinney has come
back" This summer he will make
his appearance in an Atlantic City
cabaret as an entertainer.
1t will be an experiment. There
is no idea that he will carry his
old time Vigor, but he will be able
to demonstrate that Frank Tinney
Is on his way to health.
Two men are responsible for the
progress that Tinney has made.
Eddie Cassaday, old-time minstrel.
sary sheer grit to pull his fellow
artist from the dark crevasse into
which his mind had fallen. Prof.
Edwin Burket Twitmyer, whose
speech clinic in the psychology de-
partment of the University of Penn
sylvania has helped to rehabilitate
many unfortunates. has played a
big part.
The will to succeed was instilled
by both Cassaday and DIR. Twitnlyer.
They never let him sink into de-
spair. Slowly and painstakingly he
has learned to articulate distinctly.
After careful consideration Tin.
ney was allowed to sign a contract
for the summer season with a
night club. With this incentive,
Cassaday believes he will return to
the boards in the fall.
you've done great thing" peo-
pie tell Cassaday.
He busters and grins.
"Shucks, Franks my pal-that's
all"' he explains.
Frank Tinney is a Philadelphian.
His family has lived on South Six
teenth Street, in a typical red brick
house, for many years. He and
Cassaday were black-face comedians
in the old Dumont minstrels at $25
a week when they were young men.
That was before Frank achieved
fame

WATSON WOULD
MAKE HOOVER
DRY GAR
b. In.ernatlonaI Nsws servles

by Angefnnttomal news service
President Hoover win be given
given carte blanche authority TO re.
organize the whole Federal prohibit
tion enforcement service and consoli-
date It under a single head, IL Con-
gress appraves a plan proposed to-
day by Senator James Fl. Watson
tR.) of Indiana Republican leader Of
the Senate.
Watson would have Congress em-
power the President to take the
Coast Guard, the border patrols and
the Prohibition Bureau out of the
Treasury Department and put them
all into a new bureau In the Depart
ment OF Justice. He would leave all
changes entirely to the President,
even though Congress later would
have to approve the new organiza-
ton.
Conditions "Unbearable"
Senator Watson declared present
conditions ''unbearable" and were
undermining the moral fiber OF
Americas youth" A lifelong dry
in politics, Watson urged enforce
ment Of the dry law to "the limit. "
Senator Wesley L. Jones tR) OF
Washington, author OF the five and
ten law" endorsed the educational
drive for prohibition observance.
THE evils of alcoholic Indulgence
should be taught in the Sunday
schools and law observance in the
public schools said Jones. 1T
would bring back the national atti-
tude and the public opinion that led
to adoption Of prohibition.
"I think the educational campaign
il fine. I believe that since pro-
hibition was adopted, its sponsors
have relaxed their efforts to bring
temperance to the American people" :"
Hoover Makes Start
Watson declared present condi-
tions cant be tolerated"
we certainly can't allow present
conditions to continue. So far as
prohibition itself is CONCERNED, as
long as it il in the constitution and
on the statute books, we must
enforce it to the limit. To that
end, a campaign of education is
extremely helpful and the people
should be educated to observe the
law"
Watson announced he would offer
his plan as SUBSTITUTE Ior the
joint Congressional committee. Mr..
Hoover requested to reorganize the
prohibition service. The President
incidentally has taken a step In the
direction of Watson's plan by pro-
posing an 'fnter-departmental COM
mission" to advise him on the
changes necessary. He took this
step when Congress failed to
authorize the Congressioh nal COM
mission before it recessed for the
summer.
There must be consolidation of
all prohibition agencies" said Wat
son. 1T is incongruous to have
the Treasury Department, a money
collecting agency, enforce such a
law. The Treasury hasn't the right
atmosphere. The proper sphere is
in the Department of Justice.
"I think the President ought to
be given wide powers to pick up the
agencies he desires and to consoli-
date them all into any department
he sees fit for the proper enforce
ment of prohibition. I shall ask
Congress to give him that power
when it comes back"

The law provides that no ce.tifi.

Under this law. there is a course

dealing with the matters prescribed.
The course starts for tots In the
first grade and grows and develops

Senator Capper of Kansas, chair.
man of the District Committee, this
morning declared that while not
opposed TO 1t In general, he would
insist that the political side of the
question be left out entirely. He
declared that this has no place in
the public schools.
Provided 1t is done In a liberal
and unbiased way. the question of
teaching the evil effects of alcohol
on the human system In the public
schools might be given earnest con.
sideration," the Senator said. "A
plan might be worked out by which
respect for the prohibition law
might be included In the teaching
schedule"
Opposed by SCbafer
Absolute opposition to teaching
prohibition in the public schools
was expressed by Representative
John c. Schafer OF Wisconsin.

could teach only one side. To
teach the truth about the failure
