SENATORS BACK
LOAN To CITY
FOR CENTER
Favorable Action Expected
For Next Meeting; Plan
s20,O00,oOO As Total Cost

At its next meeting the senate
District Committee probably win
act favorably on the bill Of
Chairman Capper, introduced yes.
terday. proposing a Federal loan
Of $15.0O0,00O to the District Of
Columbia for construction Of q
municipal center. If authorized
by Congress, the loan is to be
repaid at the rate of $1,000, 900
per year, at 31a per cent in-
terest.
The Capper bill was offered at
suggestion Of members of the
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee and proposes a simplified
method Of financing the munich
pal center without depletion OF
the reserve funds of the District
and possibly making necessary an
increase in the tax rate.
Tt is estimated that the Center
eventually will COZ about $4,000
900 and Congress already has
appropriated $4,000, 900 for a start
on the big project. A second ap-
preparation of the same amount
is pending in the District Of
Columbia appropriation bill now
before the Senate Appropriations
Committee. A bill under which
the Federal Government would
pay the District 100000 for the
present Municipal Building. which
would be converted to Federal
uses, Is to be considered within
short time by the House.
Senator Capper has invited the
civic organizations of the District
| to outline their position on his
SIS, ,O0O, 900 Municipal Center loan
bill which represents o new
method of District financing.
Local reaction on the measure lis
expected before the meeting OF
the Senate District Committee.

THREE-COMPANY
DEAL WORRIES

The combination of the gigan-
tic Radio Corporation of America,
the General Electric and the West
inghouse Electric and Manufac,
turing companies will add another
complication to the Justice De
partment's probe Of the radio
industry.
Officials. said today the depart
ment is not ready to report to
the Couzens committee its investi-
cation Of the Radio Corporation.
This inquiry has been in progress
for months, the latest develop
ment having been the announce
ment that the company was
about to submit a list of its
patients to the department.
Many Patents Controlled
With the patents owned by
the three companies, which cover
every phase of radio equipment
from the ordinary receiver hook
ups to audio and visual broad
casting, the problem of the de-
partment, to determine whether
there has been set up . mono
poly in restraint Of trade will
be even greater.
The question Of monopolieS
created through patent rights is
one which has been presented to
the courts on a number of occa.
sions and has been involved in a
number of important antitrust
cases. Generally speaking, the
courts have held that patent
rights are exclusive and conSti-
tute no violation of the anti
trust laws.
The alleged radio monopoly has
been under investigation by vari.
Gus governmental agencies vir.
tually since 1921. A Senatorial
resolution directed the Federal
Trade Commission to probe the
radio industry. The inveStiga.
tions have been without Substan.
tial result.
Contract i'm Courts
A case is pending involving the
Radio Corporation in the Federal
Trade Commission at this time,
although the taking of testimony
has been suspended. This case
concerned the validity of a clause
in the company's license to other
corporations which provided that
the sets should be initially
equipped with RCA tubes.
A case involving about the
same facts is pending in the
Federal courts, although the
Radio Corporation has dropped
this feature of its contracts.

TAKEN on OLD
CONTEMPT
CHARGE
Principal Appears Tanned
BY Florida Sun, Is Forced
to Renew Bond for $4,000

As q. Bryan Pitts, former chair
man Of the board Of the r. III.
Smith Company, waited in the
clerks office at the District Su-
preme Court to be arraigned on
0 week-old endorsement tndict-
ment, the Grand Jury reported
0 new indictment today to JUS
tice Peyton Gordon charging him
and his associates, Samuel J..
Henry, C. Ebert Anadale and
John II. Edwards, jr., with con-
spiracy to embezzle funds Of the
company involving $1,000, 1000.
The indictment is in four
counts, and alleges that the quar-
tet conspired and federated to-
gether to commit 100 offenses by
q system of exchanges Of bank
drafts and mortgage securities
during the period from May, 1927,
to May z, 1928, and prejudice
the financial standing of the F. H.
Smith Company by their actions.
Concealed Books
The indictment also charges
that in furtherance of the con-
spiracy they concealed books Of
account and other records Of the
r. H. Smith Company concerning
building enterprises in which it
was interested.
While Pitts awaited arraign-
ment on the old indictment Dep
uty Marshal j. j. ~Clarkson ar
rested him on a criminal con-
tempt charge for his alleged
failure to appear before the
referee in bankruptcy during the
bankruptcy hearings of the Boyle
Robertson Construction Company.
Pitts Immediately posted $1,000
bond on that charge. He was not
arraigned on the embezzlement
indictment.
At the last minute his counsel,
Wilton j. Lambert, Rudolph H.
Yeatman, and Frank G. Raichle,
filed IL pleas in abatement to the
indictment attacking the validity
Of the Grand Jury.
One of the points raised in
the pleas, which is serious
one, If the averments are proved,
is that Heath D. Dawson, one
of the grand jurors reporting the
indictment, is a resident of the
State of Virginia and is not en-
titled to serve on any jury in the
District.
The other ten pleas are similar
in most respects to pleas raised
in other indictments.
Renews Bond
Pitts was forced to renew the
100000 bond which he posted at
the time of his arrest there last
week, when it was found that the
bond was conditioned only on
his returning to Washington to-
day, and was not continuing
bond as had been at first be-
lieved.
Bond for the new indictment
was placed at $1,000, and the
total amount of bonds aggregating
$4,000 was furnished by Milton
s. Kropheim and Patrick b
O'Connor, local bondsmen. ~~
Pitts appeared at the court
house with his cheeks bronzed
b with the Southern tan after his
sojourn in Palm Beach and on
his palatial yacht in the Gulf Of
Mexico.
His healthy and robust appear
ance belied the condition Of his
nerves, because during the long
wait in the clerks office he ap-
peared shaky and INDUCED a
forced laugh occasionally, but
only with difficulty.

Hello Paree"
Is Good "Burlesqu,

Hello Paree"
Is Good "Burlesque."
n K ANAGER Lake of the Gayety
/" burlesque house, the only
vi one in Washington by the
way, has reason to feel
pleased with the reception
of Hello Paree," this weeks attrac-
ton. While not a record breaker in
the matter of new ideas, it neverthe-
less shows good results in the effort
to modernize the old sport and to
give it a place among legitimate
theater attractions.
Burlesque, from time immemorial,
has been given the wicked tag, and
doubtless to many it is wicked in
wal. Yet, for the same reasons, pre-
c.Sely the same may be said of the
big, spectacular revueS that year
after year attract our best citizens"
And IL is to be remembered that
from the ranks of burlesque have
sprung some of Americas finest en-
tertainers.
Lee Hickman, tramp comedian, who
heads the Hello Paree" company,
has methods of his own, perhaps
not the most delicate to be imagined,
but which please his audiences and
start them into a laughing evening.
He is funny and no mistake. Mil
dred Franklin, his featured assistant,
is blues singer Of note, and If you
like blues songs, you are going to like
her way of singing them. The SOU
brette. always an important adjunct
to a burlesque show, is represented
in Hello Paree" by Eleanore Abbie
and Eida Langor, two Of them, and
they pleasantly deliver the goods ex-
pected of them. Dorothy Fuller, the
prima donna, is a singer of charm.
Others who act well their parts are
Billy Woodall, young dancer worth
while; Milt Davis, comedian; Alan
Bard, an excellent singer, and a
chorus that is just as delightful in
its evolutions and accomplishments,
even if smaller, as those of the big,
high-priced shows. Burlesque pa
irons will like Hello Paree."

His Life, Cassidy Declares.
KidnaperS Are Slain.
BY the Associated Press.

10Y tHe hSSoCldtSu FteSSs
MEXICO CITY, April 21.-Leonard
B. Cassidy, American employe of the
Transcontinental Fruit Co., arrived in
Mexico City yesterday on his way home
after getting away from a group OF
men who kidnapped him last Tuesday
and released him only after many times
threatening to kill him.
Cassidy told the Associated Press
that he was going straight to Peabody,
Mass, for rest and recuperation. He
said that for more than So hours he
had been under constant threat and
to his head or back, while being held in
the vicinity of Tuxtepec, state of
OaXaca.
After a months rest at home. he
plans to return to his work again in
Mexico.
His escape with his life he attributes
to the fact that the bandits held moth
ing against him personally, and to the
fact that he speaks Spanish and under
stands the Latin temperament.
Since his release, the government
has announced that troops under Gen.
Felix Gonzalez have caught Fernando
Ramirez, ESteban Pena and Gustavo
Cruz Silva, three of CasSidy's kidnapers,
and executed them. They were young
fellows whose ages ranged from % to rs.
Cassidy declared the kidnapers
were ugly at first, constantly telling
him they were going to kill him. but
after he had told them it was useless
to kill him for they would not get a
ransom, they began treating him
better.

Professional Fighters Affiliated With Organization Cannot
 Battle Oustide

Omaha, Neb,, Sept. 17 (UP)- the National Boxing association can no longer engage in matches in states not connected with the organ ization, it was decided by the as- sociation in convention here.
 The ruling was made in an effort to eliminate domination of boxing by the New York. Pennsylvania and California Boxing commissions" ," and was. expected to aid in bring ing all professional boxing matches under control of the N. B. A.
 The National Boxing association has approached a point where it should control boxing rather than have the sport dominated by various state commissions" Stanley Isaacs, president, said.
 The convention decided to sev- CT all conections with professional wrestling, and a separate organi- zation was formed to control and promote the mat sport.
 John B. McClinnins of Chicago was elected president for 1881. James M. Brown, Michigan, was made first vice president, and Ben B. Jacobs, New Jersey, second vice president. Ira -yorheis, Nebraska, was elected treasurer.
 H. J. Landry, elected fourth vice president of the boxing association, was named president of the newly formed National Wrestling associa- ton.
