CASSIDY IS HELD
FOR GRAND JURY
Judge Disagrees With De-
tense Counsel That Search

terious visits to the Capitol, and who
was arrested again Thursday afternoon
near the Senate once Building. was
held for action Of the grand jury at
Police Court today. Only the charge of
transporting whisky was preferred
against him. Judge John p. Mcmahon
renewed the original bond of $4,000.
Judge Mcmahon failed to agree with
Defense Attorney Myron Enrich. who
maintained that Sergt. George Little.
chief OF the liquor squad, was guilty Of
illegal search and seizure.
Sergt. Little said that he had re-
ceived information that Cassidy was
visiting the Senate Office Building. H
said that he had known the man and
his car for several years and that on
Thursday afternoon after ascertaining
that the car was not in the garage on
Seventeeth street southeast, he went
directly to Capitol Hill where he sub
sequently arrested Cassidy.
Enrich maintained that this infor-
ma ton was not sufficient to cause a
search. He said both the search and
the automobile and the house where
266 quarts of whisky were found were
Illegal as the police lacked warrants.

SENATE RECESSES
AS TARIFF WAITS
Absence of Members Leads
Upper House to Post
pone Debate.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Because of absence OF many members
and unwillingness of those on hand
to proceed with the tariff bill with the
small attendance, the Senate shortly
before noon today voted q recess until
Monday. Several rates had been acted
upon in the nearly two-hour session.
Although only two days ago a White
House statement said President Hoover
was anxious that the Senate complete
work on the measure within two weeks,
efforts to proceed today proved futile.
The recess was taken as Chairman
Smoot of the finance committee sought
TO bring up manganese in the metals
schedule. ,..-
Vote to BE Asked.
Smoot served notice he would ask
consideration ON Monday of every para
graph in the first three rate schedules
which have been passed over and q
vote on these before proceeding with
other schedules.
Regular Republican leaders passed
responsibility for delay in tariff revision
to the Democratic independent Repub-
lican coalition as the Senate recessed.
"AIh bAAC us

Of the bill rested with the coalition. an
action regarded as throwing to it, SINH

action to speed debate.
Both Chairman Smoot Of the finance
committee and Senator Jones of WASH

blamed the Democrats and Western
Independent Republican Senators tor
the slow progress of the Senate in de-
batting the tariff measure.
Way Believed Open.
The Democratic spokesman Oh the

coalition could 60 over the schedules,
then present its conclusions to the reg
ularS and save time by approving nu-
merOus rates without discussion on the
Senate floor.
Informal conferences of Republicans
in line with the Presidents suggestion
had been. unsuccessful in evolving some
method of sending the measure to con-
ference with the House by November
Is, as desired by the Chief Executive.
A proposal OF some of the newer Re-
publican members that an unofficial
committee, made up of two Senators
each from the regulars, the independ-
ents and the Democrats, be put In
charge of the bill found little favor
with the veterans OF the administrative
group.

ALLEN CONVICTED
IN TRAFFIC CASES
Suspended Policeman Found
Guilty Of Parking UnIighted
Car at Night.

Charging that Sergt. Arthur c. Belt
of the fourteenth precinct "ticketed"
his machine yesterday morning in order
that he might get himself in good"
with police officials. and that some one
purpoSely cut the wire which connects
battery, Pvt. Robert J. Allen met his
second and third defeats at the hands
of the Police Department today. Justice
Ralph Given convicted the suspended
policeman on two charges Of parking
his car at night with no light on It
and fined him 81 on the first and took
his personal bond on the other.
Sergt Belt entered q, counter-charge,
saying that Allen was purposely leaving
his automobile in front Of his home,
28O7 Connecticut avenue, unlighted in
order to gain publicity and gain popu-
lar support by painting himself
martyr.
Belt Makes Admission.
Belt admitted that he waited near
Aliens home Halloween night to see
IL the latter would leave his car with
out a light on 1t. He said that after
waiting around he saw the car. as he
expected 1t would be, unlighted. AS he
did not have q ticket with him, he
drove to his precinct and later re-
turned to put the ticket on the car, at
1915 am. J. Russell Kelly, attorney
for the defense, pointed out that 1t
seemed rather peculiar that Belt should
drive several miles in order to appre-
bend q person for such a trivial Of
Tense. He argued that the sergeant
had actually put the ticket on the car
while he was off duty, as his ofnctal
day ends at midnight.
The defense brought in three wit
neSSes from a local garage who testified
that the parking light on Aliens car
was in perfect working order Thursda@
while a close inspection yesterday re-
vealed that the electric wire had been
cut.
Claims lie Left Light Burning.
The first charge on which Allen was
tried also was for leaving his car I'M
lighted at night Policeman r. l.. Ham,
mann of the fourteenth precinct, the
arresting officer, said that he did not
realize that the offending car belonged
to Allen. In both instances Allen S&id
that he left the light burning on his
car.
There must be some other motive
your honor, other than mere desire TO
perform duty behind these tickets
which the defendant has been receiv-
| ing" Attorney Kelly said to Judge
| Given.
Il do not deal with motives in this
| case" replied the judge Mr.. Allen is
to me an ordinary citizen, and l will
not allow the controversy between the
police force and the defendant to in
| fiuence my decision in this case. 1t is
indeed an unfortunate situation and ]
| can only pass judgment upon the testi-
mony / do not believe that Seret. Belt
would purposely cut those wires
