PRESIDENT SILENT
ON CRIME STUDY
Meanwhile Senate Leaders
Demand Funds Stop
Pending Report.

Sy the Associated Press.
The unexpected opposition Of several
Senate dry leaders to the policy of
secrecy adopted by President Hoover S
Law Enforcement Commission was met
today by absolute silence from both the
White House and the commission itself.
If either Mr.. Hoover or George w.
WickerSham, the commission chairman,
intended to reply, they were keeping
their prospective action well guarded
and in many quarters of the Capital
the opinion was expressed that the
question must be settled by Congress
without the guidance of a public utter
ance from either.
Senator Harris Of Georgia and Sena-
tor Glass of Virginia, both Democrats,
have served notice that they would seek
to withhold funds for the continuance
of the commission unless some sort of
a report on its activities is made.
Harris is the author of a resolution
under which Congress would axis Presi-
dent Hoover to obtain a report from
Chairman WiCkersham to be passed
on to the legislators on Capitol Hill.
Glass contends that the commission
is failing to give sufficient attention to
the main purpose for which commits
sion funds were authorized-the investi-
cation Of prohibition enforcement.
Il am going to insist" he said, that
before we appropriate another dollar
the commission or the President make
some report to Congress on what it pro
poses to do
Senator Harris is Of the opinion that
the commission does not intend to make
a report until four years have elapsed.
He asserted that "every enemy of the
prohibition law is in favor of this COM
mission staying just where they are
acting behind closed doors and conduct
ing their deliberations for years"

and meeting some Of the best in the
game.
He started fighting in 1902, and was
still fighting, he says, when he was
running the Du Pont Club at Hopewell

firm was building big plant just out

last fighting he did he says, deserting
the ring for the safer game of climbing

amusement.
Most of the audience had been in the
court room since 10 o'clock in the
morning, the hour set for the opening
of the case, but Allen was delayed in
reaching the court house by his re-
appearance before the Shelby-Kelly

over the telephone, calling the man at
the other end of the wire Joe !"
BaSsett said that Allen never asked him
to bet, and that he never did, but that
the then policeman had issued "blan-
ket invitations" to all the employees to
bet on the races and named Miss Vir-
ginia Eaton, stenographer for the
company, as one of those who accepted.
Miss Eaton asserted upon examination
by Attorney CrounSe that she placed
only one bet with Allen, and that was
the only one she had ever made on the
races.
"Mr. Allen did not ask me for any
money" she said, He told me that
bookmakerS would accept bets from
policemen over the phone without the
money. Mr.. Allen said they were afraid
not to take them that way"
Asked where Allen had called to place
the bets Miss Eaton replied that she
could not recall the number, but that
the call had been made to some one In
Washington.

Accident Happens While
Working on New Internal
Revenue Building.

Falling a few floors along the face
of a high building or from the top of
a f1agpole is all in the days work for
Jack TorreySon, who is cleaning the
walls of the new Internal Revenue
Building with the cold steam process.
Failing, as matter of fact, has never
bothered Torreyson greatly, for before
he went into the building climbing and
steeplejack business he was a light
weight and welterweight prize fighter,
and he admits he took several falls in
that game.
Torreyson took fall yesterday, q
mere matter Of dropping from the
seventh to the third floor while work
ing in the c street side of the new
Internal Revenue Building, and today
he was laughing and joking about it.
Ropes, Coated With Ice, Slip.
TorreySon was working on a stage at
the seventh floor, on the outside of the
building, using cold steam blasts to
clean the limestone face of the Struc-
ture. He was lowering his end of the
stage to start on a new portion of
the building when the ropes below the
stage, coated with ice, started slipping
through the control block on the stage.
Desperate efforts to stop the fall Of the
stage failed, and TorreySon hung onto
the icy ropes as the heavy platform
gave way. Torreyson'S end went down
first and swung him heavily against
the side of the building four floors be-
low, where he had been working, cut
ting three-inch cash in his head.
Torreyson held on gamely as an
avalanche of tools, with which he had
been working on the stage, fell down
upon him, most of them landing on his
head.
He dangled there in his precarious
position, 40 feet above the ground, for
several minutes before he was rescued
by other workmen on the building. The
former boxer took first-aid treatment in
his firms Office on the job, and went
back to cleaning the building.

Prince William County. So far efforts
to locate him in Washington in time
TO get him to the COroner'S examination,

o'clock and gave Traffic Officer FlnkS
his version of the accident.
Both car and motor cycle were dam
aged so badly by the crash and fire that
they are stated to be not worth salvag
