Still More Questions For Mr.. ROUer

to enforce the law properly and that you actually re-
sent their assistance?
If this is then why did you call on the editor of
The Times to please tell you where John F. Maragon,
one OF the chief witnesses in the Scrivener murder
case, could be located?
And Mr. Rover, if you intend to jail persons who
have information regarding dry law violations but
who do not for obvious personal reasons desire to
act prosecuting witnesses, do you think your of
flee, and the office of the Superintendent of Police
and the office of the Prohibition Commissioner here
after will be deluged with tips the rum traffic?
Looking at this aspect of the case, can't you see
Mr. Rover, that this policy of yours is possibly fatal
blow at effective enforcement of the prohibition
law in Washington?
Can't you see that however noble your motives,
however innocent you may be of any evil intentions
the effect of your policy is in to block dis
closure of law violations and thus to protect speak
easies and bOOtleggers?

Mrs. Green. 1.-THE fling is no
longer an exclusively masculine
malady. Lots Of middle-aged
women appear to be going in for
a gay Indian summer these

"But the only thing sadder
and funnier than the sight of
a respectable shusband-and-
fatherly-l looking man with q
bald spot, trying to play coltish
Lothario to q bored flapper is
the vision of a plump, motherly-
looking matron being arch and
kittenish with a sleek-haired
young gigolo."
"That'S the tragedy Of this
day and age!" sighed Mrs.
Divot. Nobody is willing to
grow middle-aged gracefully:

TTERE are some more vital questions for District
II Attorney Leo A. Rover to answer:
- Is it to be your established policy, MIR. Rover
to compel persons who have tips on prohibition law
violations to appear prosecuting witnesses under
penalty of being jailed for refusaR
Or is this special policy to be applied only to re-
porters for newspapers that attack your office!
If it is your policy to compel nformers to act also
as prosecutors why did you not insist that Mr. E. E.
LOOMS, president Of the Lehgh Valley Railroad, tell
the Grand Jury all he knew regarding the con-
gressiOnal rum party given at local hotel!
IT, as Mr.. LOOMS indicated, he refused to dlvulge
the information on the ground that as party guest
it would be breach of good etiquette to tell anything
about his hosts refreshments why was Mr.. LOOMS
not sent to jail for contempt just as the three Times
reporters were sent to Jail!
Or is it to be understood, Mr.. Rover, that the Sc

If Mr.. Lggett is not to be capped in jail for refus

SIX AGENTS ADDED
TO U. S. DRUG FORCE
Customs Bureau Sends Five to Eu-
rope, One to Shanghai to Guard
Against Smuggling.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Assignment of six new inspectors to
foreign ports to aid in checking narcotic
shipments to the United States was an
nounced today by the Customs Bureau.
Five Of the new agents, 1t was said,
will be assigned to European duties and
one to Shanghai. This follows action
of the bureau in recently transferring
an inspector from Manila and several
native helpers to Shanghai.
The action of the bureau. the bureau
said, would increase the effectiveness of
the foreign forces in furnishing infor-
nation as to proposed attempts of
smugglers to bring narcotics into the
United States. One of the favorite
methods, the bureau said. was for
SmugglerS to ship conSignments OF mar
cotics from one foreign country to an
other through the United States and
replace the drugs by other merchandise
while the goods were en- route through
this country.
The effectiveness of the foreign
forces, It was said, recently was shown
when Mrs. Ying Kao, wife Of the Chi
nese vice consul In San Francisco re-
turned from abroad. Agents In China
had reported that she had nearly 5000
tins of opium in her baggage, and ex-
animation of her trunks at San Fran
cisco proved the information correct.

ALLEN AGAIN is CLEARED
IN POLICE TRAFFIC CASE
Policeman, Arrested for Eighth
Time on Minor Charge, Is
Exonerated.

Policeman Robert J. Allen, arraigned
in Police Court following his eighth ar
rest on minor charge, was excnereted
by Judge Isaac r. Hit, who heard the
testimony following Judge Robert e.
Mattingly's refusal to preside.
In his decision Judge Hit declared
that Policeman F. l.. McCallister of the
third precinct, who patrols the same
section as Allen and charged him with
parking his car improperly in front of
the Mayfiower Hotel, had waited too
long after the alleged violation to file
an Information. McCallister alleged that
on July the violation occurred, but
waited 10 days to make out charges.
Judge Mattingly previously had re-
fused to hear the charge which &C.
cused Allen of parking between the
loading platform and the curb, declar-
ing: IT have had too much experience
with these cases and do not want to
have more to do with them" He then
certified the case to Judge Hit and
Allen requested an immediate trial.

BELIEVE DEAKYNE
WILL Be PROMOTED
Army Officers of Opinion He
Will Succeed to Post of
Gen. JadWin.

Brig. Gen. Herbert Deakyne. now
assistant chief of Army Engineers. is
likely to become the next chairman of
the National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, according to opinion pre-
vailing in service circles. Maj. Gen.
Edgar Jadwin, the chief Of Army Engi-
neers, and the present chairman, is
slated to retire on August 7. when he
reaches the statutory retirement age of
"a years.
AS Gen. Jadwin's assistant, Gen.
Deakyne has become thoroughly IA
miliar with the duties of the Office of
the chief of Army Engineers, having
been on duty in the Munitions Build
ing in that capacity since June, 1925.
Gen. Deakyne will reach the retirement
age on December 20, 1891.
Policy to Advance Assistant.
Army officers who are of the opinion
that Deakyne will become the next head
Of the Engineer Corps point to the fact
that it has been the policy, since the
national defense act of 1920 was en-
acted, to have the assistant chief adj
vanced to the chiefs chair when the
senior officer vacated his post. This
was true, they say, in the case Of Maj.
Gen. Lansing H. Beach, who as chief of
Engineers had Brig. Gen. Harry Taylor
as his assistant. Later. Gen. Taylor be-
came Chief of Army Engineers, and his
assistant was Gen. Jadwin, who later
became chief.
Officers consider it likely that Col.
Charles w. Kutz, now on duty at
Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, as senior
colonel, will become the next assistant
chief of engineers. In this event Col.
William B. Ladue. the Engineer Com
missioner of the District of Columbia.
will become the senior colonel and
stand a good chance Of being raised to
chief Of Army Engineers In few years.
Kutz Slated for Retirement.
Col. Kutz is slated for retirement
under the age limit law In 1884, so
that under this arrangement, and If
precedent is followed, Col. Ladue would
be in line for the post of chief of Army
Engineers at that time, probably hav-
ing served in the interim as assistant
chief.

SEEK HOSPITAL AID
FOR WAR NURSES
Women's Legion Post Moves
to Assure Care for Feminine
"Veterans" in Future.

Looking to the future when a large
portion of the $4,000 women who saw
service during the World War as nurses
and yeomanettes may require hospital
care, the Jane A. Delano Post Of the
American Legion-one OF the few
women's posts in the organization.
passed resolution last night advocat-
ing the provision Of quarters fol
women in all Veterans Bureau hos
pitfalls to be conducted in the future
Miss Marietta H. Pierson. welfare OH
Ger of the post, introduced the meas
ure. which was passed without dis
senting vote.
The post will present the resolution
at the annual convention OF the Dis
trict Of Columbia Legion, to be held
here in August, and If 1t passes that
body 1t will be brought before the ma
tional Legion conclave at Louisville In
october.
Present Provisions Ample.
No recommendation was made con-
corning the present hospitals, as 1t Is
recognized by the women that provisions
at present are sufficient to meet the re-
quirements OF the woman veterans,
those now in the disabled class num-
bering about 800 and the actual num-
GER hospitalized ranging around zig. The
recommendation, the women of the
Delano Post emphasize is designed
purely for the future needs.
OF the 800 women receiving compen-
sation today for disabilities received as
a result of their service either here or
overseas, the ma ority are suffering from
physical illness, nervous disabilities or
wounds received in accidents. Three OF
them who are living today carry scars
from enemy fire.
These three. all of whom served as
nurses, are Miss Beatrice Mcdonald,
who lost an eye when an enemy bomb
exploded back Of the British lines: Miss
Isabel Stambaugh, injured by shell fire
from an enemy plane near Amiens, and
Miss Eva Jean Parmalee. who was
wounded in the face during . night
raid and, was cited for her extreme
bravery In remaining at her post de-
spite her wounds.
100 Women Won Decorations.
More than 100 women have been
decorated for bravery lin action" or
under shell fire.
Another resolution, which was not in
shape for presentation last night, is, ex-
pected to be I'D for consideration before
the Jane Delano Post in the near fu-
ture, and If passed, probably will be pre-
sented at the National Legion conven-
ton. It advocates the placing Of the
nurses with a war record on the same
status as the emergency officers with
reference to their permanent disability
retirement. Recently bill was passed
permitting emergency officers to receive
retirement pay for permanent disability.
The nurses wish that law amended
to include members of their corps, who,
they say, were under the same restric-
tions and regulations applied TO officers
during the war.
