Jones Law Scare Cuts
Liquor Law Violations
In District to Minimum

A bad scare has been thrown
into Washington bootleggers. Only
time will reveal. however, whether
their fear Of the drastic Jones law
will continue.
The whole morning dragged
through today In the office of
Prosecutor David A. Hart, and not
a single Conformation" paper, re-
yealing fruits of police efforts yes
terday and last night against liquor
law yiolators, was filed.
Such a situation has never ex.
listed before, according to veteran
attaches of the court. Customers
also are dwindling in number, as
sources of supply are cut off.
Thirty eight "drunks" were listed
for trial in Police Court today, a
number regarded as exceptionally
small for day following q holiday.

Brand Appointment
Failure Puts Utility
Group in Quandary

Who will succeed Col. Harrison
Brand ir.. as a public utilities com
missioner?
That is the question that appears
to he the big subject in the com
missions office as we'll as in the of
fices of all the public utilities cor
porations.
Colonel Brand, who is definitely
out of the picture as far as acting
as a public utilities commissioner,
went out of office yesterday at noon.
His successor was not named.
Ex-President Coolidge, appointed
Brand to succeed himself. but the
confirmation of his appointment
was definitely blocked in the
Senate by several Senators who
threatened to filibuster If his name
was brought on the floor.
Senator Blaine, of. Wisconsin, was
the memeber of the upper house
that led the move to block Bland s
confirmation. The efforts of the
Senators succeeded and his name
was not mentioned
Meanwhile the other two members
of the board, John w. Childress
and Engineer Commissioner I4adue.

to sit as a board with only two

LAID
TO OPEPCO'S
NEGLECT

The most important medico-
legal battle ever to be fought
before the Employees Compen-
sation Commission will begin
tomorrow.
An impressive array of legal tai
ent and battery of 10 physicians
will he the principal figures in
hearing to determine whether the
Potomac Electric Power Company
should pay compensation to the
widow and three children of Joseph
J. Clark, who died in the employ
of the company last November.
The widow alleges that her hus-
band, while at his work in the
Benning power plant, cut his hand
on a piece of tin. He was given
no medical attention by the COM
pany she charges, and continued
to work.
The claimants attorney expects
to prove that Clark's hand became
infected as a result of the wound,
and that blood poisoning developed,
resulting in his death.
The company, through its attor-
neys and five physicians, is said
to have another explanation OF
what caused Clark's DEATH The

take in not electing Smith, was

The vacancy, caused by the fail
Mre of the Senate to confirm the
appointment of Col. Harrison Bra nd,
ir., has created a situation whcn
might result in a serious deadlock
should any important matter come
before that body.
Hopes Poll to Decide
In the literature issued by the
Poll Committee the names of vii
liam NICK. Clayton, Marvin A.
Gusts, James J. Noonan, Mrs.

are suggested a possible candidates
to fill the post.
The purpose Of the Poll Commit
tee. according 10 the literature Is
sued. is to determine by popular
ballot just who would be acceptable
to Washington as a whole and
acting on the result of vote. TO
submit the name or names to the
President for consideration.
The committee is comprised of
representatives from number of
civic organizations.
It is generally understood that
President Hoover is casting about
for a successor to Colonel Brand.

'F.RANE.
SEEN IN
ACTION

Government employees were
nursing a smouldering resent
ment today against ex-Presi-
dent Coolidge for his pocket
veto of the Dale retirement
bill which passed both houses
Of Congress without a single
dissenting vote.
Their disappointment was partic-
ularly bitter by virtue of the fact
that Coolidge had indicated last
Friday that he would sign the bill.
Expected Better
In many quarters there was open
criticism OF the ex-Presldent for
using the pocket veto on the bill.
The least he could have done, the
employees felt, was to have given
Congress chance to pass the bill
over his veto if it wanted to.
Historians Were scanning the
documents Of former years TODAY
to see if there was ever a time
before when a President gave a
passed Congress without a dis.
senting vote.
Looking back on the events of
recent days in connection with the
bin many employees today believed
the whole situation had been we'll
planned in advance.
They contended that House lead.
.ers purposely held the bill up long
so that it would be sub
jeCt to pocket veto.
Doubt His Word
Others even charged that Presi.
dent Coolidge planned to give the
bin a pocket veto ali along and
merely gave out the indication that
he might sign it last week in order
TO make it look as though the
pocket veto had not been planned
in advance.
Meanwhile Congressional leaders
were making plans to introduce the
bin again in the next session and
give 1t quick consideration in the
hope that President Hoover will
look on 1t with more favor.
Will Try Again
Senator Dale. chairman of the
Senate Civil Service Committee,
and author of the bill, announced
today that he will take the" initia-
tive in sponsoring new retirement
legislation in the next session, of
Congress.
Senator Dale said he will intro
duce new retirement measure in
the session beginning April 10.
unless there is limitation upon
legislation. in which case he will
submit it i'm the regular session
next December.
The committee chairman said he
would introduce bin similar to
the one which passed both houses
in the last session, and which died
for lack of presidential signature,

DISTRICT SEATS

There were three vacancies on the
Senate District Committee today as

near future. There may be one

It was a wet Inauguration
in more ways than one.
While the thousands Of visit
ors were getting drenched to
the skin, Washington police
blotters recorded 148 charges
of intoxication. Most of those
arrested forfeited collateral in
Police Courts.
Liquor prices sky-rocketed. The
combination of the heavy penalties
of the new Jones bill! 'and 2l5,OoO
visitors gave the bootleggers a good
excuse to more than double the Es-
ures at which their dubious wares
could be obtained.

Prices kept going up Sunday and
Monday, and today quotations hy

recognized vendors in the Capital
were from two to four times above

A heavy rain increased the
demand. while the stern language

bootleggers to drop their price lists

also was up on delivered orders TO

siderably more.
How permanent the new quota

conjecture. Treasury officials hailed
the change as an indiction that the

new administration will keep prices
so high that the demand for bootleg

While Mr.. Hoover and Secretary

Some people are so good they are
good for nothing. You can be good

race isn't interested in what you

but in what you can do. Are you one
of those kind with a sign out, II
have the goods, but don't deliver?"
Suppose we take up few defini

friend is one who will come and tell
you all the gossip that's being said
about you, and tell you, and tell
you the name and initials of the per-
son who said it, and when and under
what conditions it was said. A social
bore is a person who talks about him
self all the time, won't let you talk
about yourself and always knows the
news before you do.
society butterfly is a person who
knows nothing, says nothing, does
nothing He'll put a ten dollar hat
on his ten cent head and thrust him
self on society.
social climber is a person who
seeks introductions to the first people
of the city and starts his ascent, but
where in the name of common nom

MYSELF

BY Lawrence A. McHenry
If was an artist, the picture of life
/ would draw,
From birth to the age of six months
old,
1t would be to my mother as precious
as gold.
From the cradle through education,
romance marriage and to fame,
I would do my best to play my part
in the game. Then to my narrow
home to rest.
Life in my body would be none,
But in my name which would live
for ever for the great things I had
done.
