Noise Awakes Priest
To Find Burglar
Gone

Awakened by a noise early to-
day in his home in the 1900 block
Rhode Island Ave. n. w, the
Rev. Edward Buckley, rector of
st. Matthew'S Catholic Church,
discovered a burglar had stolen
all the money he could find.
The clergyman telephoned po-
lice, but they were unable to To-
cate the intruder. They learned
he had entered the rectory by
"J.mmying" a side window.
Father Buckley found $6 had
been taken from his trousers in
his second floor bedroom and 81
from a desk on the first floor.
The robber overlooked a small
sum.

their own hands"
Representative Brand Cd OF
Georgia, an outstanding prohibi
zionist, denounced the Miller bill
Congress will never pass such
law as that" he said. IF 1t
does, they'll be killing people all
over the country. 1t Is true that
a policeman sometimes must shoot
an escaping man, but every case
must stand on its own merits"
Holds Law Unnecessary
Representative Holiday R) OF
Illinois, who started the House row
by defending the Washington police,
man, said such legislation Is un.
necessary.
There is no question of the right
of an officer to shoot man who is
escaping in the District of Columbia
by use of a smoke screen as in the
Fleming case" said Holiday.
"An officer who runs into a smoke
screen is facing just as great danger
as if the bootlegger were firing a
revolver at him. But l am not sure
that I would favor passing a gen.
eral law on the subject"
Representative Williamson D) OF
South Dakota, another dry who par.
ticipated in the controversy over the
shooting of Fleming, said he was op-
posed to the Miller bill because "it
might be construed to give police,
men the right to shoot indiscrimi-
nately."
Represent tive LaGuardia R.) of
New York, who attacked the shoot
ing, declined to comment on the bill
until he had studied it.

Druggists Want Man
On HOOYer's Dry Jury

A committee representing the
American Pharmaceutical Associa
tion yesterday urged President
J Hoover to appoint a member of the
association on the National Law
Enforcement Commission.
Members of the delegation said
they had presented a name to the
President but declined to make it
public. They said druggists had
wide experience in dealing with the
practices of physicians in issuing
prescriptions for narcotics and
liquor, at least in technical viola.
tion of the Federal statutes. and
that they could suggest safeguards
for the future.

gers?
Local police. finding many new en-
forcement problems since enactment
of the law. have discovered evidences
OF "co- operative association"
among those WI are on the whole,
sale end of liquor purveying.
This is true in regard to the rum
runners who bring in the supply for
thirsty citizens of the Capital.
Elaborate Spy System
Obvious existence of an elaborate
spy service is a worry for members
of the force whose exclusive duty Is
combating the rum runners.
Agents of the big bootleggers, ac-
cording to Sergt. George Little. vet
eran head of the liquor squad keep
ta', on the movements of his squad
and that headed by Sergt. o. J. Let
terman, while they are in the Dis
trict court houses. and even watch
the homes of members of the squads
TO ascertain when they are a"out to
go on duty. Members of these
squads keep no regular hours and
do most of their work at night.
Southern Maryland. according TO
enforcement officials, is the chief
source of supply for Washington's
thirsty.
Highways PatrOIled
Evidence that the three main
highways leading into the city from
that section, are patroiled by a
thoroughly worked out scheme. has
led police of the Little squad to
believe they are spending about as
much time dodging observation as
the hootleggers are doing.
Scout cars patrol the three main
arteries, and if the liquor. squad
is found on one OF them then the
word is passed on, and much IL
quor flows in over the Other
routes.
Only one car in three attached
to bootlegging concerns. accordIn.;

liquor. The others are scout cars

Transfers are often affected just
outside the District line. from
heavy car or truck to numerous
smaller cars. which proceed over diff

city with their cargo.
Business Syndicated
Either a cooperative association
or several large syndicates are
operating in this complicated man.

Rumors that heavily armed cars
are operating in the rum-running
racket have so far proved ground
less. in the opinion of the patroers.
A number of rumors to this effect
have been investigated. however.
Meanwhile, southern Maryland
continues to rival Iowa as a prolific
producer of corn, and Washington

Battery Of Nick Carriers

hdtttFY OF NICK carriers
CoryeH, who died at the age Of
p, was the first but not the only
Mick Carter
After carrying his fictitious de-
tective through several years of in
credible adventures, he turned the
Job over to another literary dynamo
and, at a later date, so popular had
the series become, that an entire
battery Of writer's was engaged in
putting the boy detective through
his desperate deeds.
COryeu himself, his son discIoses,
was too busy TO be Nick Carter in
4 person. He had to be a dozen
other fictitious people.
At times he wrote as many as six
types OF stories cOncurTently, under
as many different names, writing
now as a man Of the world, now as
a -choked working girl. Jump
ing from cosmopolitan adventure
to tales Of TIE wild west, thence to
4 Oriental mystery, and thence to
heavily-scented feminine romance
or mOralistiC tales
Among his pen names we're Nick

bois Millman. Lillian r. Drayt0n,
Bertha NJ Clay, Barbara Howard,
Margaret Grant. lyman CurlO and
many others.
Father had always declared that
he Nick Carter stories were poor
stuff ana more than thirty years
passed before he read one of his own
detective thrillers," says Russell
Coryell in the BOolman.
1t was not, in fact until the son,
while a small boy, found a bundle of
detective stories hidden in the Cor
veil attic at Cornwall, n. Y, that
the author of Nick Carter admitted
his identity to his children.
Career of Adventure
CoryeI's own early career was
packed with material for the ad-
venture tales he made famous.
At II he shipped to China after
leaving school where he had been
studying law.
His father then, in 1863. was build
ing ships for the Chinese govern
ment and the young Coryeu went
through q series of adventures in
the east. at one time, when he was
only 20. being an American Vice-con-
sui and q magistrate OF the inter-
national court. Returning to Amer
lea he became a ship broker in San
Francisco. then newspaper man
at Santa Barbara.
He came back east and married
In New York while virtually penni-
less. It was then that he walked
into a publishers Office and pro-
posed-for enough money to keep his
FANNY alive-to turn out better sto-
ries than any of your regular au-
thors"
The publishers accepted and it
was thus that the Nick Carter sto-
ries were born.

Power From Above

I'm Mexico it is different, there,
4 no issue is needed. The people
have not been trained to govern
themselves in city, town and hamlet.
Democracy has never touched them
close at home.
To the people of Mexico, govern
ment still is power from above,
power in which they feel no share,
power by force of arms. They have
learned to respect it as such, and to
defy it. The advent of some strong
man, with supply of rifles and
some cash, is enough to start trouble
But let us not be too patronizing.
We would be doing likewise, had we
been trained in the same way.
And let us not be too pessimistic
about the outcome of this latest up
heaval, well organized and forn1id-
able though it seems.
If there are strong men ready
to lead revolt, there are other strong
men ready to uphold the govern
ment, not only to protect their jobs,
but because education has pro-
crossed far enough in Mexico to
have developed national conscious
ness among her more wide awake
citizens.
