break in the schedule is the

danger, these ships sit down

of the passengers. Norman

REPORT READY
WHEN INQUIRY
IS RESUMED
Attorney Brinkman Admits
He Has Much Information
As to Capital Transactions

A volumirious record gathered
during the summer and reported
to include some startling dis
closures, is practically ready for
presentation to the Senate Dis.
trict Committee when 1t resumes
its investigation into real estate
operations in the Capital. Date
for resumption Of the inquiry
has not been set, but probably
will be between November is
and December /.
Oscar II. Brinkman, special
attorney Of the Blame subcor1-
mittee, today would not disclose
during his allSummer activities
in advance the data accumulated
as investigator, but a dmi tie d
that much valuable information
throwing light on certain class
of real estate transactions has
been assembled.
Asked for Hearing
Brinkman has advised Senator
John j. Blaine, chairman, of the
progress of his work in the com.
rnittee's behalf and suggested that
another hearing be called for
about November Is. Senator
Blaine has been busy during the
Congress recess on a select Senate
committee which Is holding hear
ingS in various cities on alleged ir.
regularities in postoffice leases.
AS a result Of the hearings held
by the District committee shortly
before Congress adjourned one real
estate operator now faces several
indictments because of alleged
fraud through hidden mortgages
on property sold.
Has Much Material
While many real estate men
here are above suspicion and not
charged with irregular practices,
Brinkman hinted today that the
Senate committee has plenty of
material with which to work next
session, and that other firms are
under scrutiny.
It is believed members of the
committee will ask for more
funds to broaden the inquiry.
At the outset only the small sum
of $2,500 for expenses and stem
ographic fees was appropriated,
but the probe has now assumed
such Importance that the probe
may last indefinitely and have
wide ramifications, touching the
mortgage system, foreclosures,
relationship between real estate
operators and financial institu-
tions, commissions and the buy
ing in Of property at tax sales.

CHILLY BUREAU
To GET HEAT
Times staff Photo

Employees of the Veterans Blu
Ireau, after shivering through
several chilly days, were prom
ised relief today when the con-
struction department gave as
surance that one of the three
giant boilers will be heated be
fore night.
The original boilers, installed
in 1918. were inadequate for the
building. and were removed. In
place of the six small boilers.
three giant ones will be used.
Work on the installation, th1ee
stories under ground. was, de-
layed somewhat when subter-
ranean spring was tapped.
George Cassidy, assistant to
the chief clerk, said that for
the first time since the bureau
opened there are prospects of
having the north side along Eye
Street comfortable. The new
boilers are of 200 horsepower
each, automatically stocked and
OF the latest design.
The water supply in the bu-
reau was cut off one day last
week when a main under the
street broke. Had the boilers
been in operation at that time,
hose lines connecting them with
street hydrantS would have
aVerted disaster.

CLEARED BY
JURORS
No Evidence of Collision Is
Found Between Them and
Police, Body Here Asserts

The District Grand Jury today
reported to Justice Jesse Atkins
that its recent investigation into
charges Of alleged colluSion be
tween members of the police de.
partment, lawyers and bondSrnen
had disclosed no evidence on
which the prosecution might be
based.
The Grand Jury investigation
was the result Of newspaper
campaign instituted several weeks
ago and brought to a climax when
Milton s. KronheiIn, a profes-
sional bondsman and president Of
the Professional BondSmen'S As
ISOLATION. went before United
States District Attorney Leo A.
Rover with the demand that the
whole matter be turned over to
the Grand Jury and, if the news
paper charges were true. that ap-
propriate action be taken against
guilty persons.
The grand Jurors report is
as follows:
"The question Of alleged col
1uSion between members Of the
Metropolitan police, bOndsmen
and attorneys was presented to
this body by United States
Attorney Leo A. Rover.
Careful consideration was
given to the statements Of the
witnesses summoned but the
information which such wit
neSseS were able to present was
not thought to be of sufficient
merit to warrant action Dy
the Grand Jury.
However, i'm order that fun
information might be, brought
before 1t, this body, together
with the United States AttOr-
ney, extended an invitation to
all persons to appear and give
such information. This invita-
tiOn was given wide circulation
through the press. but no one
volunteered, and no complaints
or letters were received which
might even indicate the exist
ance of such cOlIuSiOn."

making Saturday a half holiday
for the Government" Colonel
Kenyon holds that the existing
law should be all that is neces-
saTy for the granting OF such
holiday the year round.
1t was further suggested to
President Hover that the extend
ing of half holidays through &C.
tober and November until Con
gresS acts upon pending legISla-
ton regarding half holidays would
be a satisfactory solution OF the
matter for the present. A bill re-
lating to the question, 1t is
pointed out by the Federal Bar
Association, passed the Senate
and was favorably reported from
the House Committee on Civil
Service.
The executive council OF the
Federal Bar Association Will meet
in the Interior Department to-
morrow to discuss the question
of Saturday half holiday for
employees of the Government in
