PRATT URGES CHANGE
IN enforcement ACT
Police Should Have Powers of Dry
Agents, Leader Says, Backing
Maj. Hesse.

Police Chief Henry G. Pratt today
said that he still favored the recon-
mendation often made by his prede-
cessor in Office, Maj. Edwin B. Hesse,
that legislation be enacted comforting
on all members of the police force the
powers of prohibition enforcement
agents.
The recommendation was last made
by Maj. Hesse in his annual report to
the Commissioners covering the depart
ment's work in the 1928 fiscal year.
Maj. HeSse wrote:
II again urge as a matter Of real
necessity that section %, title 2, of
the national prohibition act be amend
ed so that members of the metropoli-
tan police force will have the same
authority as other officers Of the Gov
eminent in enforcing laws relating to
the manufacture and sale of intoXi-
eating beverages. In the Volstead act
we are confronted with the only statute
of this character in force today in
which it is found necessary to swear
in members of the force as special
agents of another branch of the Gov
eminent in order to enable them to
take proper action in case of violations
of said act"

CHICAGO REMOVING
REFRIGERATOR GAS
Deaths Result in Order to
Change $4,000 Ice MAX
ing Systems.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July lS-Removal OF
methyl chloride gas from $4,000 re-
frigeration systems in Chicago was
started yesterday as a coroner's iury
began an investigation into the deaths
Of family of three, believed to be VIC
Tins Of the gas.
The action came after Commissioner
Of Health Arnold Kegel issued a tenn
porary order barring the gas from
Chicago as a refrigerant. A meeting
was called for a council subcommittee
to draft an ordinance prohibiting its
use.
DR.. Kegel and Dr. Herman n.
Bundesen county coroner. were aroused
by the apparent repetition of fatalities
from the gas-the deaths Of Joseph
Painter, his wife and their year -old
baby, on the heels of the death Of Mrs.
Viola Clark, North Side artist
Removal of the gas from the systems
was started voluntarily by the company,
which had installed the machines in
both the Painter and the Clark apart
ments, although the coroner's jury had
found a poster at the Painter apart
ment declaring previous jury had
been mistaken in deciding Mrs. Clark
died OF methyl gas. The poster had
been placed in the apartment by the
company.
The jury said the poster was open
to "Severest criticism" After visiting
the apartment, the jury agreed to meet
again Monday afternoon.
With the deaths of guinea pigs used
in experiments by the health Depart
ment, DR.. Kegel today said he regarded
the single refrigerating units as dan
gerous as the large systems.
He placed the number of deaths from
methyl chloride in Chicago recently at
7 and the poisonlngs at 25 in an article
published today in Chicago's Health.

ing pounded on the coast of China were

man Lloyd vessel Of 9,162 tons, out of
Bremen, Germany. grounded in a heavy
fog on Siaokung Tao Island, off Using
Tao, on Tuesday. The American de-
stroyer U. s. s. Paul Jones took line
from the disabled vessel and tried to
drag her OF, but without success. Wind
and sea hampered operations, and the
Derflinger began pounding, knocking
holes in her hull forward and heaved
around till she had about 10 degrees
list to port.
Deciding that the passengers should
be removed, officials ordered the de-
stroyer tender U. S. S. Black Hawk to
stand by the stranded ship.
by excellent seamanshp the Paul
Jones took OF all passengers, 81 in
number, with their personal baggage,
from trunks, the ships money, and 10
of the crew" said Admiral Bristol's
dispatch. THE Black Hawk arrived
later and took of SIS of the crew.
Both ships will land above passengers
and crew at Using Tao and then pro-
coed to Shanghai"
The oficers and $50 Of the Derfiinger
crew are remaining by the ship, and
Admiral Bristol advised the department
that he has directed the submarine
tender U. s. s. Beaver to stand by.
If any heavy blow comes up the Der
finger will be total loss, the depart
ment was told, but If good weather
holds she may be salvaged.

President Hoover will leave tomorrow
for a week end holiday at his camp in
the headwaters of the Rapidan River,

has closed.
1t is the Presidents intention to leave

list Of the latter.
Wilbur May BE In Party.
It was understood that DR.. Ray Ly-
man Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior,
who has just returned to Washington
after being absent for several weeks in
the West, will be one of the party.
There Is some likelihood that the PreSi-
dent may invite Secretary of Agriculture

Alexander Eegge of Chicago, chairman
Of the board, and Carl Williams of
Oklahoma. member of the board, who
were in Washington last week in ad-
vance of the initial meeting of the
board, to accompany him on the week
end trip to Virginia he had planned
the last week end, but which was can
celed because of the bad conditions OF
the trails leading to the camp.
President Hoover is known to be
anxious to know more intimately the
men he has selected for the highly
Board and 1t was suggested that week
end at his mountain retreat would
serve this purpose admirably.
Receives Sir Esme Howard.
Besides affording a good chance to
become better acquainted and to dis
cuss informally various aspects of the
agricultural relief problem the President
would be able to press these able-bodied
men into service in assisting him in
the construction of the several crude
dams he is building along the stream
near the camp for the purpose OF max
ing trout pools.
Mr.. Hoover made virtually no en-
gagements today and devoted his time
to porting over state papers and dis
posing Of Office routine. which SO quick

Ambassador, Sir Esme Howard. who

FACTOR IN TENNIS
Austin, Who Goes Into Semi
Final, Returns England
to Place in Sun.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WIMBLEDON, July 2-For the first
time since 1925 the British empire has
placed one of her subjects in the semi
final round of the mems singles in the
British tennis championships.
H. w. Austin, generally regarded as
the most promising English tennis
player in recent years, gained the semi
finals along with Big Bill Tilden, Henri
Cochet and Jean BOrotra, by eliminat-
ing the Hungarian ace, Baron Won
Kehrling. in straight sets yesterday.
Four years ago j. o. Anderson OF
Australia got as far as the semi-tinals.
losing in that round to Rene Lacoste OF
France, but since then France and the
United States had monopoliZed the last
four places until Austin came along To
break into the charmed quartet" In
1926 the semi-finalistS were Jean Bo-
rotra, jacques Brugnon and Henri
Cochet of France and Howard Kinsey
of the United States. The following
year 1t was Cochet, Borotra, Tilden and
Lacoste. Last year oCchet, Lacoste,
Tilden and Christian Boussus fought II
out for the right to enter the finals.
Arstin's victory over Won Kehrling
climaxed q series of sensational tri-
umphs by the former Cambridge star
His victims included, among Others,
Frank Hunter and Brugnon.
Notwithstanding Austins perform
ance. the experts are predicting another
all-Freneh final picking Cochet to beat
Tilden and Borotra to down Austin.
The women's singles has developed
into pretty much of an all-American
affair. Helen Wills, the defending cham
pion, and Helen Jacobs already have
won their way into the semi-finals, and
a third American. May Sutton Bundy,
who won the British title more than a
score OF years ago, had only to dispose
of Joan Ridley of England today to
reach the same round. The fourth semi
finalist was Elsie GoldSack of England.
