REASON FOR ORDER
U. S. Marshal Ayers Cues.
tiOnnaire to Deputies Is in
Interest of Efficiency.

A QUESTIONABLE sent to deputies in
the office of United States Marshal
Edgar c. Snyder which sought infor-
Snation regarding their employment be-
fore they entered the Government

more information about the activities
of his deputies before their appoint
ment. in the general Interest of eff
cheney.
Marshal Snyder said that the ques-
tionnaire originated in his own mind
and not from any suggestions or In
fluences from either the White House

he consulted no one, but he has reason
to feel that it met with the approval of
the Department of Justice.
According to Mr.. Snyder, the in
formation regarding the so deputy
marshals, which has been kept in q
card index in the marshals Office,
gives only brief summary of the in
dividual activities of these officers and
Mr.. Snyder decided upon the question
naire as means to make this informa-
ton more complete. In the question
naire, the deputies are asked regard
ing their occupation during the World
War, whether they saw service in the
war, and in what capacity. It also
asks the nature of their occupation
after the enactment Of the eighteenth
amendment and the Volstead act and
the nature of occupation Immediately
preceding appointment as deputy mar
shall, as we'll as the nature of occupa-
ton before entering the United States
marshals Office. Regarding the last
question, the deputy is asked to furnish
the names of former employers and
reason for leaving them. The ques-
tionnaire asks also who recommended
the deputy for his present position,
Then it asks the deputy's age and the

bark City Of New York, Admiral Byrd's
flagship, in day or two, the ships will
lie to until it can be determined whether
they should start through the pack,
and, If so, whether both should attempt
it or only the wooden City of New York.
Admiral Byrd has asked the whalers
for a report on the ice conditions, as
two Of them have penetrated the pack
deeply and know of what it consists
better than any one else. The captains
of both the Byrd Expedition ships also
will be able to discuss the situation to-
gether and with the whalers.
Supplies for Whalers on Ships.
There is no doubt that the pack is
still heavy. 1t lies about $50 miles
north of us, in a great arc stretched
between Cape Adare and the icefield
north of King Edward Land.
It seems to be about 100 miles wide
at present, with heavy belt Of thick
ice in the center. The whalers are all
lying on the outside of the pack.
Both the City Of New York and the
Eleanor Boiling have brought supplies
south for the whalers, fresh meat, cases
Of equipment, harpoonS and mail.
The men at Little America are doing

more idea than the man In the moon
how they are going to get out or when.
Goes to Below at Night.
The bay ice, despite many cracks
and continuous signs of movement, is no
nearer going out than 1t was a. month
ago, and with the night temperatures
dropping to below zero the new open
ing in the bay freezes over in short
time.
A chant has been put up here in the
mess hall and on 1t the positions of the
City of New York and the Eleanor Boil
ing are placed every day so that we can
see what the ships are doing and also
where the whalers are fishing.
Our immediate concern, aside from
the ice pack, is that there Is q lot Of
mail wandering around few days sail
from us which we would like to see.

Police of the tenth precinct were
drawn into the hunt last night when a
man whose identity they failed to get
reported he had seen an animal re-
sembling a panther in Rock Greek
Cemetery. The police found some large
tracks in the snow and followed them
to near the Foreign Mission Seminary

"Tell those hunters that II they get
a chance to hold the beast at bay for

Mr.. Blackburn seemed to think It

Wilbur WOULD END
. OIL FIELDS WASTE
Secretary of the interior Acts
to Conserve KettIeman
Hills Deposits.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
FRESNO, Calf, January 28.-Having
expressed the hope that Kettleman Hills
oil operators would get together and
agree on a method of stopping the
staggering waste of CALIFORNIA; indus
trial future" Secretary of the Interior
Ray Lyman Wilbur today was on rs
way to Los Angeles to further his plans
for conservation.
Returning from a trip through the
Kettleman Hills north dome, after ad-
dressing groups of oil men at Fresno,
Hanford and at the field, DR.. Wilbur
delivered his conservation message here
yesterday.
"A billion dollars in resources will be
wasted unless we can work out a method
Of orderly development of this great
field" Wilbur told the oil men. "The
Government is interested-like all of
you-as minority land holder. We
want to see an agreement that will stop
ing, with ring after ring Of offsets.
I'VE want to participate in a volun-
tary plan by which all holders Of proven
land can benefit. We want to avoid
drowning the gasoline market with
the flood of Kettleman oil, which is
really gasoline"
Methods of development he brought
forward we're:
/. Pooling of all profits from the field
according to acreage.
2. Purchase by big companies Of all
small holdings.
3. Government purchase Of all mon
curtailed" lands.
4. Holding company control of de-
velopment for the whole dome.
In Los Angeles DR.. Wilbur will dis
cuss engineering problems of curbing
output with a committee of technical
experts on conservation.

CARAVAN CHARGES
WILL Be IGNORED
Walsh Announces Lobby
Body Will Not Probe Dye
Activities of Moses.
BY the Associated Press.

Senator Walsh, Democrat, Mon
tana, announced today that the Sem
ate lobby committee would not make
an investigation into the deposition of
Francis p. Garvin, former alien prop
erty custodian, which said Senator
Moses Of New Hampshire and others
had joined with German chemical in
terests in an effort to influence tariff
legislation.
Walsh said he had examined the dep
oSition and had found nothing which
reflects in any manner whatever on
Senator Moses or which is a proper
subject for investigation Of this COM
mittee"
The Montanan, a member of the
lobby committee, said he had carefully
studied the deposition and letters
passing between Senator Moses and his
clerk and other parties who in 1922
were opposing an effort to put an en-
barge on the importation of chemicals"
The statement by Walsh, which was
made a part of the lobby committee
record, said the letters and deposition
disclosed that Moses was active in op-
posing the proposed dye embargo.
THAT was no news to any of us who
were familiar with conditions at that
time" Walsh added. ct was perfectly
understood that Senator Moses was op-
posed to the embargo.
He was interested in securing for
the textile manufacturers 'of his State
dyes as cheaply as could be procured"
Walsh added that it was mot at all
unlikely that German producers and
dye importers were active in opposing
the embargo and it was not unnatural
that there should be correspondence
between Senator Moses and these inter-
ested people.
ut is to my mind Of no consequence.
Walsh said also that Senator King,
Democrat, of Utah, was opposed to the
dye embargo on principle and was vio-
lently opposed to a high tariff and ma
turally was against the proposal"
$50 it would not be at all strange If
Senator King should be found acting in
concert with those opposed to the dye
embargo for selfish reasons"
Walsh asserted the deposition was
mo reflection on either Senator King
or Senator Moses
Walsh also announced that repre-
sentatives of the American Importers
Association and the Free Trade League
would be questioned at some future date.

lzeo tne status OF private enterprise
THE remarkable real estate and
building development of the last few
years has extended and increased
Washington's facilities as a residential
city and as place in which to do
business. This fact Is illustrated by
the increase, from 1924 to 1928, OF
more than 43 per cent in the assessed
value of real estate holdings in the
District.
Finally, I wish to call special atten-
ton to the rapid expansion of local in
dustrial undertakings. According to
last reports. metropolitan Washington
has more than 600 light manufacturing
plants producing annually goods val
ued at more than 100000, 900. In
this connection it is interesting to note
that from 1928 to 1927 the value OF
locally manufactured products in
creased % per cent, as compared with
a rate OF only per cent for the coun-
| try as whole.
These figures. which present a most
interesting picture of the local financial
situation, are reflected in the statistics
Of bank clearings for the last two years
which reveal an increase for 1929 OF
