on the Public Utilities Commission made
vacant by the Senate's failure to con-
firm Col. Brands reappointment. The
White House has not made known the
names of those who are aspiring to
these two important posts, although 1t
is understood that friends of John
Lewis Smith, former president of the
Bar Association of the District OF Co
lumbia, who had the Endorsement OF
that organization as we'll as the Repub-
Icon State committee of the District
which Mr. Coolidge nominated Mr..
Classic. will continue to urge his ap-
pointment. -,
It is understood that Mr.. Hoover will
confer with accredited Republican lead
ers of this city before he reaches any
conclusion regarding the filling OF these
two local posts.
1t is very clearly established today
that it is to be the policy of Mr.. Hoover
in making appointments to confer with
the recognized Republican leaders OF
the various States. 1t Is also under
stood that In those States where there
are men and women who were espe-
cially active in his interests during the
pre- convention campaign, as well as the
presidential - campaign itself, he
will expect cooperation between these
workers and the so-calbed organization
leaders of those States.
The matter Of patronage is rapidly
becoming an all-important one with the
new President. With all the color and
glamour Of the Inauguration becoming
a thing of the past, Mr.. Hoover now
realizes that he is in for long seige of
hard work in the matter of handing out
the administration plums. Each day
he will be besieged by Senators and
Representatives and State leaders in
quest of patronage.

D. C. POLICE SEARCH
FOR BOY INcUSTODY
Mai. Pratt Orders Inquiry
Following Disclosure of
Youths Detention.

How 1t happened that the whole po-
lice force" Of Washington searched for
more than "a hours for Mark Twain
Rhinehart, 16-year-old missing" Cen
tral High School student, without dis
covering that he had been arrested by
the polbe of the tenth precinct and
was being held at the Receiving Home,
Is being investigated today by Inspector
L. j. Stoll by order of Mai. Henry G..
Pratt, superintendent of police.
The boy was arrested about $3.50
o'clock last Tuesday morning and was
not released until the case against him
was dismissed about noon yesterday by
Judge Kathryn Sellers of the Juvenile
Court. Detective headquarters in the
District Building got the first informa-
ton about the whereabouts of the
missing" boy from his father, Paul e.
Hninehart, about pm, Wednesday.
according to his father and his older
brother, Paul E. Rhinehart, jr., the boy,
was held, despite the fact that John
DaSsouls, delicatessen dealer, Of Four
teen and Fairmont streets, who was
supposed to have made the complaint
against the youth, went to the tenth
precinct station house and said young
Rhinehart had been arrested by mis-
take.
Release Was Refused.
Both the father and brother declare
That they went TO the receiving home
Wednesday and were told that the boy
would be allowed to GO to his home, in
College Park, Md, II the police Of the
tenth precinct were willing. They say
the police refused to grant permission
for his release, although the brother of
fered to put up collateral.
The brother reported the boy missing
to the police Of the eighth precinct
Tuesday night and q general lookout
was issued for Mark Twain Rhine
hart" Meantime mark r. Rhinehart"
had been booked that morning at the
tenth precinct. The police have since
said that they did not suspect the iden-
tity of the arrested boy, because he
gave his address as College Park, Md,
when the lookout" gave his address as
that OF an aunt, Mrs. Margaret Payne,
1419 Clifton street, this city, with whom
he lives part Of the time while going
to school.
Father Told Of Search.
When the boys father and brother
went to the eighth precinct station
house Wednesday morning they say
they were told that 'the whole police
force" was searching for the "lost" boy.
It seems that Dassouls complained to
the police that some boys were messing
up" his store. Three boys who were
seen to run from the store were ar
rested. While the party was waiting at
the corner for the patrol wagon young
Rhinehart came along and bought q
newspaper at the store. As he was leav-
ing he, too, was arrested. According
to- the police, one of the three other
boys pointed him out as having taken
part In the messing up Of the deli
catessen store. Young Rhinehart de-
MES this.
Maj Pratt said he was particularly
concerned to learn why it was SO long
after the police lookout was issued be-
fore it was discovered that the boy
had been arrested and was being held
at the receiving home. 49,

Contending that he had been de-
prived Of his constitutional rights by
q construction placed by the Supreme
Court Of Iowa upon the statutes Of
that State, A. c. Bamsey Of Creston.
Iowa, convicted of violating the State
prohibition law, yesterday asked the
United States Supreme Court to re-
consider its recent refusal to review the
case.
Asserting that his home had been
illegally entered and searched during
his absence, and that the evidence SO
obtained had been used against him, in
violation Of the guarantee that no one
should be compelled to give testimony
against himself, Bamsey, In his petition
for rehearing, asserted that while the
laws Of Iowa were not in conflict with
the Federal Constitution on either
point, che trouble had arisen out Of the
construction placed by the State courts
on those laws, giving them an unconsti-
tutional effect.
He charged the Iowa Supreme Court
with "purposely" evading his claim OF
his constitutional rights and insisted
that as citizen of the United States
he was entitled to the protection guar
anteed by the Federal Constitution
against unlawful search and seizure.
Believing the controversy would
eventually reach the highest court at
some time in form to require its de-
cision, Bamsey urged the court to ac-
cept his as test case.
