Buchanan was taken. to Garfield
Hospital where he died within 10
minutes.
Lanoir was taken to the Tenth
precinct and questioned. He was
later released in custody of his at
torneys, to appear at the Coroner's s
inquest today. His head was cut
so it was necessary to take three
stitches.

Stoney. She hurried to the hos.
pital, but her fiance was dead.
Buchanan figured prominently in
two police stories some time ago.
He assisted in the capture of Sam
uel Marino and Lee Eagles, youth

DALLINGER
SPONSORS
CHANGE

Charges that Federal york.
ers disrupted plans fort reor-
ganization of the Government
departments in past years
were made today by Repre-
sentative Frederick w. Dal-
linger, of Massachusetts,, who
yesterday introduced in the
House a bill giving President
Hoover unlimited power for
two years to effect complete
reorganization of the Federal
establishment.
ut has always been the case" he
said, that whenever a bill provid.
ing for reor ganization by ct of
Congress was proposed, great
number Of workers understood the
legislation would mean the loss of
their jobs or reduction of salary.
when proposition to consoli-
date all the engineering activities of
the Government under one office,
as recommended by the American
Society of Engineers, the Govern
ment employees did everything they
could to prevent it."
The Only Remedy
Dallinger said he felt that his bill
furnished the only possible remedy
for this condition, as it places in
the hands of the President the au-
thority to do Just about as he
pleases in the matter.
II do not think this is trusting
too much to resident Hoover" the
author of the bill declared. "I am
sure he can be relied upon to effect
a thorough, efficient and humane
reorganization. There viii be no
wholesale reduction of force, and /
certainly do not think there win be
any reduction of salaries"
He pointed out that he had es-
poused the cause of high pay for
Government workers and more
liberal retirement legislation when
ever the subjects arose.
''I certainly would not have in
troduced the bill, if ! thought it
would work a hardship upon thou
sands of men and women, who now
are underpaid," he said.
Has Discussed Bill
Dallinger revealed he had dis
cussed the whole matter Of re-
organization with President Hoover,
during the latter's stay in Wash.
ington before March 1. He said he
was sure the bill would meet the
Presidents approval.
The author of the legislation
pointed out that the measure would
give the President power to reor-
ganize for two years only. The pur-
pose of this restriction was to leave
the next Congress free of any obli-
cation in this regard.
'I am confident that the work OF
reorganization will have been given
a good start, if not completed, with"
in two years after passage of the
act" Dallinger said. IF it is not
complete, I am sure that the good
results of the first stages will be
so apparent that the next Congress
will extend the Presidents powers
for another two years"
DaIlinger said he was aware that
the President has surrounded him
self with men who are capable OF
undertaking the great task. but that
he was confident Hoover could do
the whole job himself, if he cared

DRIVER
NAKESH|S
ESCAPE

Three efforts of a rum-run-
ner to kill a policeman failed
by a margin of inches here
early today.
1t was through imperilling the
life of the motorcycle policeman,
however. that the alleged hi-jacker
saved his cargo of whiskey. His
expensive touring car, equipped with
an elaborate smoke screen outfit,
subsequently was seized.
Miles Znanenacek, an Eleventh
precinct policeman with a reputa-
ton for bravery, was at Eleventh
and M Streets Southeast when he
started chasing the liquor car after
he noticed it's springs sagged as
thought it were heavily loaded.
Heavy Screen of Smoke
The three-mile race which fol.
lowed was fast and furious. Clouds
of smoke three times as wide as the
streets and a hundred or so feet
chine as it reeled along at 10 miles
an hour.
The car shot around corners SO
fast the scream of the tires nearly
drowned out the roar of the motor.
The smoke screen was so thick
Znanenacek nearly crashed into
numerous parked automobiles as he
fought to keep from = being
smothered,
Znanenacek made three efforts
to head off the car by taking short
cuts, He managed to cut in front
of the automobile on each occasion.
He barely escaped being run down
each time as the rum-runner
gwerved his machine in an obvious
effort to crush the motorcycle rider.
The near-collisions occurred at
South Capitol Street and Virginia
Avenue, Canal and Third Streets
Southwest and First and Canal
Streets Southwest. Slick streets
finally forced the policeman to
siacken his speed so much that
the liquor car disappeared in the
darkness.
An hour or so later, however,
Znanenaeek found the machine
abandoned in the 500 block Penn
sylvania Ave. N. w. The smoke
screen apparatus still was hot. The
automobile was removed to the
Eleventh precinct.
Recognized Driver
4 Znanenacek said he recognized
the driver and would arrest him if
he could be located. The policeman
explained that since the whishey
had been transferred from the auto
mobile before it was found, it was
probable that the man would only
Be charged with using a smoke
screen and reckless driving.
The policeman expressed the opin-
ion that the cars cargo had been
hi-jacked from other run-runners or
from the operator of a still.
The Washington times., 1929-04-19

The jurors were convinced by
witnesses that Lanoir was to blame
when his automobile collided with
Buchanan's motorcycle at Seventh
Street and New Hampshire Avenue
Northwest. Several witnesses testi.
fled that Lenoir evidently did not
make as strenuous an effort to
avoid an accident as he should
have done.
Buchanan, who was "a. was
killed less than a block from the
home of the girl he was to have
married next month. The crash
occurred ~ at Seventh Street and
New Hampshire Avenue Northwest
The motorcycle struck the ma.
chine square1y in the side.
The impact reduced the motor
cycle to a twisted mass Of metal
and the right side of the automo-
bile was driven in.
Head Is Crushed
Buchanan was thrown to the
ground between the front of his
machine and the fender. His head
was crushed and his right leg
broken.
Lanolr told police he was driv-
ing south on Seventh Street when
he saw the speeding motorcycle
and attempted to stop. He said
Buchanan seemed to swerve as if
to pass behind, so he released his
brakes and started ahead. Then
the crash occurred.
He jumped from his machine and
tried to extricate the dying police
man, but had some trouble because
Buchanan was wedged in the wreck
age.

Physicians said there was little

CHICAGO, February 20.-The execu-
ton of two youths in their teens early
today introduced the electric chair to
Cook County as the legal death device
supplanting hanging.
Anthony Greece and Charles Walz
died within 10 minutes of each other
shortly after midnight for the murder
of Patrolman Arthur Esau during a
drug store hold-up last April
The executions were carried out with
precision and were completed within 20
minutes after Greece, the first to die,
had been led into the death chamber,
blindfolded, by two guards Greece,
who was IS was silent throughout the
proceedings. but Wall, a year younger,
turned to one of the guards as he walk
ed toward the chair and mumbled:
Never mind; I'm all right" ,,. !.
AS he was strapped in the chair. he
whispered:
"Good-by folks"
NonchaIant to End.
Wall, who had manifested an air Of
bravado throughout the trial and after
his conviction, maintained his nom
chalance to the end. At one time he
said he guessed he'd go to sleep and
leave call for, 1901. He and Greece
played cards with two of their guards
during the evening and listened to a
portable monograph which had been
placed in their cell.
Wall smoked one cigarette after an
other and was smoking as he was led
down from his cell to the chair. He
was visited by his father and brother
late in the afternoon.
Walk Expressed No Regret.
Asked if he were sorry for the murder,
Wall replied: .1.--. .ess,a
Il might do it again. He would have
got me if didn't get him."
Greece was more remorseful. While
talking to his parents and other rela-
Gives, he remarked:
I'm sorry; I'd never do it again."
Contrary to expectations, few people
gathered outside the county jail during
the evening, due to the zero weather.

center OF the seriette Is Of wolfe
and Il six By twelve inches. On
n end and along one side Is a
one-inch strip of blue. These
strips are cut nine inches long
for the end. Allow il to project
beyond the center field one inch
on one side and two inches on the
other. This blue strip is double
The strips are turned back on the

down then press. This will make
a finished edge on both sides
where the blue joins the gel

are two end pieces nine inches

on the blue and sewed in a seam.
They will come next to the yell

"LaSt Minute" Gifts
BY Betty BrotrnIee

IF You are like the majority Of
people in the world, you viii
probably wake up a day or
two before Christmas TO realize
that you still have half a dozen
or 80 last-minute gifts to pur-
chase. And you will rush out
unsystematically with no list or
no plan in mind, and come home
worn out and discouraged be-
cause you weren't able to get

SO that all dust and lint II re-
moved. Then, too, the brushing
stimulates circulation. Brush
the ends, then place the brush
under the hair and pull the bris-
ties up through 1t. Then brush
it from the front to the back and
from the back of the head 20 the
front. BY following this method
of brushing all or the hair is ex-
ercised ana freed from surface
impurities.
Also don't forget that only
liquid or jelly form shampoos
should be used for cleaning the
hair because soap In bar form
cloggs the minute openings in
each shaft Of hair.
When the hair has been thor
ougly shampooed 1t must be
rinsed until all soap is removed.
Then you are ready for the
camomile tea rinse. Just pour
the tea over the hair, moving il
around 80 that the liquid is
evenly distributed. Let the tea
remain on for a few minutes,
then dry the hair with a Turkish
towel.
When dry, you win find that
your golden tresses are n truly

Natural blondes whose hair has
begun to fade will find the
camomile tea rinse Is equally
effective In giving n lovely sheen
to the hair and for enlivcning
its color.

Those who have dull or faded
hair i'm one Of the brown tones
will need to make the camomile
tea stronger to achieve the same
pr0portionate results ms those
gained for the blonde by a weak
er solution.
IL will be impossible for me 70
give you exact amounts because
there are 50 many shades OF
brown. I believe you will find
the light brown shade Of hair
reacting in a satisfactory man

heaping tablespoonfuls OF the
camomile flowers to two cup
fuls OF boiling water. IL, after
using this amount once, the re-
suits are not quite as pleasing
as you hoped, use four table
spoonfuls the next time to the
two cupfuls OF water.
Medium or dark brown hair
will require at least four on
five tablespoonfuls Of camomil@
flowers 70 three cupfuls Of boil
ing water.
Using these suggestions as n
guide I'm quite sure you can
soon determine the exact amount
that Is needed in your case.
Even the blonde may need 10
do "A little experimenting but I
would suggest that the proper
tons given for her be observed
at least for the first rinse. Then
