|CAP|TAL PREPARED
| FOR CELEBRATION
Churches Make Special Ar.
rangements to Accommo-
date Record Throng.

Thousands of visitors will join the
President and Washington citizens in
simple ceremonies today commemorate
ing the Resurrection.
Special arrangements for accommo-
dalton of thousands of Washingtonians,
augmented by the largest throng of
Easter visitors in the city's history, have
been made in the various churches.
At the Friends Meeting House,
President Hoover expects to partici-
pate with his orthodox Quaker brethren
in the usual Sunday service, the only
change In which probably will be an
Easter sermon topic. AS on every Sun
day, the church doors will be opened at
10:45 am. for visitors and the service
will begin with few minutes Of medi-
tative silence.
Since the orthodox Quakers follow
little routine, the President will witness
spontaneous services. Hymns will be
sung to piano music without the lead
ership of q choir. The sermon by DR..
Augustus T. Murray, the minister, may
follow the silent meditation, or it may
be near the end of the services. Any
one of eight or ten other ministers
on the platform may speak If he feels
moved to do so.
Abandon Speaking Privilege.
Because Of the presence of the Presi-
dent, members of the congregation have
abandoned temporarily their privilege
OF speaking during the services. They
engage, instead, In meditation. The
service, however, will close with the
usual Misunderstanding, when each member
of the congregation clasps the hand Of
his neighbor.
Mrs. Hoover will be unable to attend
the church today because of a
sprained back, suffered last Sunday
when she slipped and fell as she arose
from couch. The Presidents brother,
Theodore j. Hoover. and the latters
wife, will accompany him. Mr.. Hoover's
two sons, Allan and Herbert, jr., are
not in the city.
In the afternoon, If Mrs. Hoover feels
able, she will go with the President on
an automobile ride into the country.
Tomorrow Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover are
to be hosts to hundreds of children who
will gather for the annual Easter egg
rolling on the White House lawns.
That afternoon the public will be adj
mitted to the grounds for concert by
the United States Marine Band.
No special arrangements have been
made for any observance of Easter at
the White House other than the placing

The authorities believe they may GET
some information Of value from the 10
persons whose names are listed in the
book. Only two mems names are in
this book. The others are believed to
have been girl friends of the slain
Navy Department clerk. All 10 are to
be questioned by detectives.
Not the least among the mysterious
angles of the case is how Miss Bakers
missing clothing got into sewer man
hole just on the lane leading into the
Department of Agriculture experimental
farm, where 1t was found late Friday.
Arlington County police insist that they
lifted the same manhole cover Tuesday
afternoon following the disclosure that
Miss Bakers keys had been picked up
nearby the Saturday before, and that
the clothing was not there at that time.
The same day the two colored men
who were arrested after the discovery
of Miss Bakers pocketbook and scarf
in their possession had been taken to
Queen City, a colored settlement near
the experimental farm, to search fer
her missing clothing.
The men were quoted as having adj
mitted that they took Miss Bakers
coat, but that could not be found. In
Spector Shelby attached much impor-
lance to the theory that the clothing
had been placed in the manhole after
the search of Tuesday, and the police
were inclined to believe that it was put
there by friends of the two colored men
under arrest, who were afraid that 1t
might be found In their possession, and
that they might be connected with the
crime.
VIII Revisit Sewer.
Deputy Sheriff woodward of Arling-
ton County, who claimed he looked
Tuesday into the sewer which produced
the missing clothes Friday win 60 to
the experimental farm accompanied by
the three men who found the articles
Is the same one. If 1t Is, the two coll
ored men now imprisoned in the
Arlington COUNTY jail on a charge of
having ransacked Miss Bakers aban-
doned car will be given another grilling.
The authorities cannot believe the
clothes were stuffed into the sewer by
the slayer. They are of the opinion that
the articles were removed from the car
by persons who saw 1t abandoned on
the roadside.
One theory is that after Staying Miss
Baker and disposing of her body, the
murderer drove her automobile to the
place where it was found abandoned
Then, 1t Is advanced he gathered up
her personal belongings, carried them
half mile to the manhole and dropped
them in before continuing his escape
on foot. Without doubt this explanation
is within the range of possibility, but 1t
begins to topple when one considers the
fact that the slayer made little effort
to conceal the body and none whatever
to hide the automobile. Why should
he have been so anxious to dispose of
aided Identification of the body?
Some of the police still believe that
Miss Baker was killed on the Govern
