Dickinson is said to have come
to Richmond about three years
ago from his home in Thomas,
Tenn, about so miles from Bristol
where his wife and two children
live.
An automobile, said to belong
to John L.edbetter, in which Miss
McClenny is said by three eye
witnesses to have left Alhemarle
Road at 1880 p. m. July /. Is
said by investigators to have
been out of town that might and
has been located near Richmond.
Dickinson left his work at a
local cleaning and pressing estab-
lishment on July / at 6 o'clock,
saying he was going out Of town.
He had worked there for about
two weeks, the proprietor said.
Appealed to Police
Although the case has been Ia
the hands Of Burns International
Detective Agency since July 2,
DR.. McClenny visited police head
quarters on the night his daugh-
ter disappeared and said he was
certain che had run away with
the garage mr. and wanted police
to stop her.
Pastor Changes Story
The eyewitnesses say they saw
Miss McClenny leave her car and
drive off in a car driven by O
man. The Rev. Phillip Nathans,
former Presbyterian minister, O
witness, says the girl was not
forced into a second car but
walked quickly to it. He says he
thought the girls behavior
strange but took no thought of
interfering since there was no
evidence Of abduction.
He says the girls car first
passed his house followed by q
small roadster which stopped be-
hind Miss McClenny'S car. The
occupants Of the two cars talked
for several minutes. She then
parked her own car, entered the
other and was driven off.

Or. cherrington Asserts That
Prohibition Is Kept Alive
Only by Big Organization
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES


hibition in the past year-the Lit
erary Digest poll. the Morrow vic
tory in New JERSEY, both parties
in the State of Washington de-
claring for repeal in their plat
forms, to mention only a few
has caused some Of the dry
leaders here to view the: future
with considerable pessimisn.
Frank recognition that the stu
alton is not as the dry organiZa-
tions would have it, even with the
transfer of enforcement to the De-
partment of Justice and the un-
doubted efforts of the Admin!stra-
ton to tighten up, was made
today by DR.. Ernest H. CHEERING
ton, general secretary of the
World League Against Alcoholism
and one of the able neutenants of
the late Wayne B. Wheeler in the
long fight to put the Eighteenth
Amendment into the Constitution.
Statement Is Blunt
In a remarkably blunt state.
ment, DR.. Cherrington declared
that prohibition is only being kept
alive by the dry organizations.
He said:
Prohibition would be erased
from the Constitution and
/ quickly bIOtted from the statute
books IL the organized efforts
Of its friends should cease.
should the friends Of pro-
hibitiOn abandon those organ
nations through which alone
they present an effective front
to the enemy, the liquor con.
sumption i'm this country would
unquestionably far exceed any
record set In the past"
The organizations referred to
by DR.. Cherrington include the
Anti-Saloon League, the World
League Against Alcoholism, the
Methodist Board of Temperance,
Prohibition and Public Morals.
the International Reform Bureau,
and a score of smaller organiza-
tions which cooperate with the
major units.
Wealth to Increase Trade.
Should these organizations
simply quit, DR. Cherrington said,
prohibition would evaporate.
'"The wealth Of the land
which has SO greatly increased
under prohibition would make
possible larger consumption of
intOxicants. The increase in
population during the dry dec
ade would offer more pOten-
tial liquor customers.
Repeal of the Eighteenth
amendment would be equivalent
TO q confession that the theory
of prohibition is wrong, that
the use Of intoxicating bever-
ages is right and proper and
that society has set the seal of
its approval on their cOnsump-
tiOn."
DR.. cherrington's statement was
designed for a twofoId effect-to
warn the drys that they are going
to have to fight to hold prohibi-
ton in the Constitution. And
more Importantly that they will
have to contribute money to keep
the organizations he referred to
alive and functioning.
Shy ON Finances
The financial condition of some
of the dry organizations is can
didly admitted to be getting des-
perate.
There has been steady decline
in revenues for several years past,
in fact, ever since the Rockefellers
discontinued their support Of the
Anti-Saloon League about five
years ago. Coincidentally, the
revenues of the organizations
working for repeal of prohibition
have shown a steadily mounting
total since 1925.

COLORADO RIVER
PERILS DESCRIBED
Most Difficult Stream in World to
Navigate, Clyde Eddy
Says.

The Colorado River is one Of the
most difficult streams in the world to
navigate, Clyde Eddy told members of
the National Geographic Society last
night in an address at the Washington
Auditorium. Fewer than so men have
gone through the streams canyons in
boats, and more than that many have
died In attempting the passage, he
Mr.. Eddy and eight companions re-
Gently joined the 40 other successful
voyagers, making the 800-mile trip from
Green River, Utah, to Needles, Calf,
in frail boats. The start was made with
Is men in three boats, but Of the
adventures climbed out Of the canyon
at the halfway point, Lees Ferry, and
farther down the river one of the boats
was demolished on the rocks.
There are 300 difficult rapids in the
800-mile stretch, Mr.. Eddy declared.
All but 10 of these were run IN the
boats. Through the 10 it seemed sui
cidal to attempt to navigate the boats,
so they were let down by ropes along
the shore, or actually portrayed around.
Because of mistaken identity the party
ran through the notorious Soap Greek
Rapids. No other voyagers on the Col
orado have negotiated this particularly
rough stretch Of water.
Mr.. Eddy's trip was the only one to
be made through the canyons at high
water. He spent eight years In prepa-
rations and i've months later made q
second journey through the longer por-
ton of the canyon.
Motion pictures taken both from the
banks and from the tossing boats show
ed the strenuous work Of the members
Of the party in handling the boats, and
the majestic scenery and bizarre color
ing Of the towering canyon walls.

VICTIM OF HOLD-UP
Charles {. Rector Relieved of
$50, at Point of Pistol, by
CoIored Passenger.

Charles c. Rector, driver Of a WASH

coach, was held up at the point Of q
pistol last night about o'clock by o
nattily dressed colored man, who took
$50 from him and alighted near GAL

southeast, told police that the same
man had been q passenger on his bus
time the man rendered Rector q $40
bill and watched while the driver pro-
duced his wallet and made the change
from the currendy he was carrying.
Last night the same man hailed the
bus ct the Oallaudet and Kendall street
stop, q block from the corner where
the last passenger had alighted. No
sooner had the bus started on than the
colored man thrust q pistol against
Rector's side and warned him he would
be shot If he attempted TO resist. The
man then reached into Rector's hip
pocket and extracted his billfold, which
contained SIS Of his own money, the
rest belonging to the company.

box, but Rector replied the key was
kept at the barn. without replying
the colored man told the driver 70 halt
and when he did so leaped from the
machine. Rector said q touring car
with the motor running was near the
spot where the robber left the bus, and
that he watched while the colored man
climbed inside the other vehicle and
sped or.

ing about 20 years old, Of slight build
and wearing an impressive array of
haberdashery. He said there was an

TOLERANCE ASKED
IN SMOKE NUISANCE
Trade Board Committee Sug-
geStS Educational Work to
Prevent Law Violations.

A reasonable tolerance In the en-
forcement Of the smoke nuisance law
and the establishment Of facilities for
educational work to prevent violations
were proposed In a discussion yesterday
by the industrial interests committee Of
the Washington Board Of Trade of the
proposed amendment to the existing
law, now in Congress.
After being told by Assistant Engi-
neer Commissioner Mai. Donald A..
Dawson that the bill would do little
toward remedying the present diff
culties in enforcement, the committee
voted to defer action until studies now
being made by District authorities are
completed and submitted to Congress
as suggested legislation.
Cites Eject Of Amendment.
The proposed amendment provides for
the transfer Of the enforcement Of the
law from the health to the engineer
department and the application of the
prohibition Of dense smoke to movable
engines.
Maj. Dawson said that 500, 900 would
be required annually to employ combus-
ton experts capable Of advising indus
trial concerns whether the heating or
power plants they planned to install
would or would not smoke. Such an in
sible with the present personnel of the
engineering department.
Making 1t plain that he was not
speaking officially, Mai. Dawson said it
was his personal opinion that q toler-
ance Of smoke for one minute in fifteen
should be allowed. The existing law
provides for no tolerance In the enforce
ment Of its regulations.
He said this was unfair, since to pre-
vent the emission Of Objectionable
smoke three factors must be perfectly
correlated at all times. The factors, he
asserted, are the volatile content Of the
fuel, the mechanical equipment and the
management Of the fuel and equipment.
Employer Submits Protest.
A letter from E. H. Rosengarten,
president of the Building Trades En-
ployers' Association, protesting against
the employment here Of builders and
labor from other cities, was read. The
committee decided to send a circular
letter to the architects. builders and
general contractors of Washington ask
ing that local firms be given preference
in the matter Of awarding contracts.
G. p. Hill, chairman Of the committee,
presided at the meeting, which was
held in the board Offices, in the The
Star Building.

from a cellar. She then questioned
