tected himself in playing the
flute, an instrument Which, like
Frederick the Great, he loUed
the best of all. Yes, he plays
even noU, and he is no mean
player. Mr.. Hazard, hoDeUer,
has not Uery much use for the
SaTophone.
In his profession as laDyer,
Mr.. Hazard has met many OF
the beSt-knoaOn legal lights OF
England, France. Germany.
Italy, and other European and
South American countries.
The Government sends him
where the most difficult and
intricate cases hare to be
fought, and Mr.. Hazard is
known as a fighter 1OhO kno1Ds

In his truUelS in this country

He looks like a college boy,
but he's one of the most sue

despite his youthful appear

Florida Senators and the Rivers

corning flood control legisla-

cially the Lake Okeechobee
section, where thousands of
lives have been lost in hurri-

twenties, but he got the flood
control bill of his authorship
through the legislature, and got
$5.000,000 to build bikes and
dig canals. Now he seeks a
Federal appropriation to sup

ably get it, because he won't
rest until he does. He figures

Shop Early" Campaign
Aids Traffic, Says Pratt

Commentator of the Shop
Early-Mail Early" campaign of
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association is expressed by Major
Henry G. Pratt in a letter to Ed
ward D. Shaw, secretary Of the
association.
Pratt's letter commends the
movement as a means of reducing
the traffic hazards growing out
of congestion during last-minute
shopping, since early shopping
tends to spread" the congested
period over a longer time.
The letter also contains a vain
ing to motorists to exercise every
precaution in driving in the down
town section, due to abnormally
large crowds and to the number
of children on the streets during
the Christmas season.

DEAF MUTE

James A. Adkins, q deaf mute
of Portsmouth, Ohio, might have
died of cold and starvation if Po-
liceman j. C. DalgliSh of the
Sixth precinct, had not arrested
the man last Saturday and held
him on a technical charge to give
him food and shelter. Adkins was
in Police Court yesterday before
Judge Ralph Given, the only
Judge here who can converse in
the sign language.
Judge Given dismissed charges
and contributed collection taken
up to enable Adkins to get to At
lanta, Ga, where he has a job
waiting for him. The judge
learned that Adkins is we'll edu-
Gated and able to support himself
as an automobile mechanic. He
arrived in Washington without
monye just as the cold struck the
city and hung around Union Sta
ton until Dalglish took pity on
him.
Judge Given gave him some
kindly advice and handed him
$40 given by people in the court
room. Adkins will attempt to
hitch hike his way to Atlanta.

"You are. either pretty badly
off, or you are playing a danger
Gus game" Judge Ralph Given
told Stephen T. Scanlon in Police
Court yesterday, before sending
him to Gallinger Hospital for
mental observation.
Scanlon was arranged for steal
ing a coat belonging to Henry
Serrell, a colored Pullman porter,
at the Union Station.
According to Serrell's testimony,
Scanlon picked up a bag and a
coat yesterday afternoon and
tried to make away with them,
saying he was catching a train.
The accused was arrested by B
H Johnson, of the Sixth precinct.
johnson told the court the de-
PENDANT had been diShonorably
discharged from the Navy for
desertion and had been released
from the Merchant Marine at
Calcutta.
Scanlon, his pinched face white
and tWitching, dressed In a
sweater, listened to the testimony
with an effort and his attention
wandered. When called to the
witness stand and asked what
about it, he said that he did not
recall the incident yesterday and
did not remember having ever
been in Calcutta.
When the judge inquired if he
had ever been in Jail he replied.
1T seems like I've been in Jail
for some while"

Bill to Protect Beauty of IT, s. Buildings Introduced
GIVES FINE ART.
COMMISSION
NEW POWER.

Efforts to protect the gigantic
Government building program in
Washington from loss Of dignity
and beauty through having irl-
congruous private structures placed
alongside have gotten under way
In the Senate.
President Hoover's plea, voiced
in his message to Congress, that
steps be taken to control build
ings adjacent to Governmental
structures, was placed in legisla-
tive form yesterday.
Fine Arts First
Senator Hendrix Shipstead Of
Minnesota, introduced bill
which would virtually give the
Fine Arts Commission the power
to determine the exterior appear
ance of any structure which in
the future is to be built upon
ground adjacent to or AUDITING
upon public buildings and
grounds.
Under the bill, whenever appli-
cation was made to the District
Commissioners for permit to
build upon such property, they
would be forced to refer the mat
ter to the Fine Arts Commission.
The Arts Commission would then
determine If the building con-
formed to the Governmental
plans for development of the
National Capital.
If it approved the plans the
District Commissioners would
grant the permit and building
would proceed; if not, the build
ing operation would be stopped.
Limits Defined
The Shipstead bill provides spe-
officially that the District Com
miSsioners shall refer to the art
body applications for permits to
build or alter any structure, any
portion Of which fronts upon or
abuts upon the grounds Of the
Capitol, grounds of the White
House, that portion Of PennSylva-
mia Avenue extending from the
Capitol to the White House, Rock
Creek Park, the Mall parks, or
AUDITING upon any street bordering
any of these grounds or parks.
The specific matters upon
which the arts commission Is au-
thorized to pass are the height
and appearance, color and texture
of the materials Of exterior con-
struction.
PlatS Needed
The arts commission, under the
bill, shall report Of the District
Commissioners recommendations,
including such changes as in its
judgment are necessary to prevent
reasonably avoidable impairment
of the public values" Of the gov
ernmenta1 property affected.

CHECK IN {
Of BLASTS
IS AIM

With q view to preventing a
repetition Of the McCrory disas-
ter, committee of three District
officials will meet tomorrow at 10
q. m. to consider amending the
District plumbing regulations.
The committee members are
Col. John w. Oehmann, building
inspector; P. M. Greenlaw, boiler
inspector, and A. r. McGonegal,
plumbing inspector.
That some change will be Sug-
geSted in the regulations was init
mated by members of the COM
mittee, which is to submit its re-
port later to Col. William B.
Ladue, Engineer Commissioner.
Explains Terms
Boiler Inspector Greenlaw to-
day said the popular impression
that a boiler in the vault at
McCrory'S store caused the disas-
ter was erroneous.
It was a hot-Water tank, popu-
1arly known by laymen as a
boiler, he said, but, under the
/ District regulations, not so CLASH
fled. Low-preSsure tanks of this
type are under the supervision
of the plumbing inspectors office,
/ he said.
I A. r. McGonegal, inspector of
plumbing, and under whose juris-
diction such loW-preSsure tanks,
as part of plumbing systems, are
subject to inspection, disagreed
with other experts who testified
at the inquest into one Of the
deaths caused by the McCrory
blast.
Sticks to Theory
McGonegal said he could not
believe that the steam pressure
IN such a tank would cause such
n explosion, and laid the dis
ter to the supposed bursting of
carbonic acid bottle" which
IS stored in the vault near the
we which heated the tank.
IA report of another committee
\hliring into the causes Of the
tlosion has already been sub
e1ted to- Colonel Ladue, but has
been made public.
The Coroner's Jury, while
qlding that the explosion of the
it-water tank caused the tragedy,
Xed no responsibility.
