Der Of committees TO complete ar
rsngements for the first San Jacin-
to day celebration ever held In this
vicinity. The club Is composed OF
native born Texans.
r.. NJ Bounds, McAllen attorney,

lowing committees were named:
general arrangements, finance, pro-
gram and publicity.
j. Frank Dobie, native Texan and
one of the foremost authorities on

bration but It Is not yet known
whether he will accept.
The Longhorn Club is believed 10
be the only organization Of its kind
in existence. 1t is composed solely
Of native born Texans and its OBJ
jects are to promote knowledge of
Texas and Texans, to properly COM
memorate Texas anniversaries and

"Not So Dumb" an all-talking
adaptation Of the successful stage
comedy, "Dulcy," directed by King
Vidor with Marion Davies as the
star and with a supporting cast
which includes Elliot Nugent.
Raymond Hackett. Julia Faye. Sally
Starr and Donald Ogden Stewart,
will open today at the Capitol
Theater.
The George s. Kaufman-M Marc
Connolly farce. which ran a full
season at the Frazee Theatre, New
York, and later was a hit through
out the country, Is believed TO be
q particularly happy voice al a
vehicle for Miss Davies, who Is
known as one Of the most humor-
Gus individuals OF the Hollywood
colony, both on and off screen.
Although Lynn Fontaine. who
played the original stage role, and
Miss Davies are as far apart as the
poles in physical appearance. it Is
said the actresses handle the con-
edy vein Of the plot In practically
the same manner. In adapting the
play for the screen, Wanda Lubbock.
scenarist, and Edwin Justus Mayer,
who prepared the dialogue, made
very few alterations.
The plot concerns a young wo-
man, more beautiful than she is
wise, whose every good intention
results in a blunder. Those who
have seen Miss Davies In her lass
two comedies, The Patsy" and
SHOW People" will understand her
fitness for Just such a characterize
ton.

Washington ranks high In sani.

in this respect, according to the
report of the American Public
Health Association which recently
completed a survey Of health and
disqualification facilities in the
District for the Council of Social
Agencies.
According to the report, vital
statistics service is only 81 per
cent adequate.
Washington rates far below
cities of like size in pre-School
hygiene, maternity hygiene, and
school hygiene, the report de-
clared, and is below par in popu'
lar health inspection. Measures
to improve these services were
urged by the report.
Hospital beds for general pur-
poses were seen to be adequate,
but the report found that there
were too few beds for specific
fields such as tuberculosis, com.
municable diseases, chronic and
convaleScent cases.
The report also disclosed that
Washington is spending only 70
cents per capita per year tor
health purposes through the De.
partment of Health, though the
total expenditure for hospital and
health is d little over $1.26 per
capita, while the total for health

A shake-up in the administra-

arrangement is reversed from that
which has prevailed.
The chief departments under

it hooked up with the Police De
partment as reinforcement
agency and both should be under
the same head.
The department Of public well
fare was under Commissioner

DETECTIVE PUT
ON GRILL OVER
RAID FIRE
Charge by Woman That Her
Auto Was MaIiciousIy Set
Attire Is Probed by HeadIey

Detective James "A. Mostyn Of
the Police Vice Squad was to be
questioned today by Inspector
Albert j. Headley on the charge
Of Mrs. Kate Knighton, 900 block
G st. s. E., who says Mostyn set
fire to her automobile during q
liquor raid April II.
Mrs. Knighton yesterday told
Major Henry e. Pratt, police
superintendent that the detective
went into a garage in the rear
of her home while he and Detec-
tive r. j. Cox were raiding the
house on q liquor search war
rant. Shortly afterwards she
said smoke poured from the
garage, the engine Of her auto
mobile was damaged by fire.
Mrs. Knighton said she was not
at home when the raid occurred,
but gave the names Of two wit
neSSeS who she said verified the
circumstances.
Mostyn today claims he did not
enter the garage at all until after
the fire started. A short circuit
was apparently responsible, he
said. A clipping from a morning
newspaper which a reporter gave
him was taken from his hands by
Detective Cox, who is acting head
of the squad during the suSpen-
sion Of Sergt. o. j. Letterman.
Cox said:
"YOu should know better than
to talk about this"
Then he tore up the clipping.
Later the acting squad head re-
pented and said his action had
been too hasty. He offered to
buy another copy Of the morning
paper to replace the torn clipping.

Representative Hull Cites
North American Company
As Sponsors of Measure

There was increasing doubt to-
DAY that there will be any legisla-
tion at this session authorizing a
merger Of the street-car systems
OF Washington.
Action Of the House District
Committee in postponing q final
nearing and meeting on this bill
until May 8 preSages that, II re.
ported, the bill will be caught in
a legislative jam toward the end
OF the session. The Senate Dis.
! trict Committee is making SINH.
larry slow progress on the long.
pending Capper-McLeod measure.
When several members sug-
geSted at the meeting Of the
House District Committee yester-
day that the bill go over Acting
Chairman Mcleod remarked that
the bill had been a long time
before that body and Representa-,
tive Bowman asked why further
hearings were necessary. Mcleod
suggested a meeting early next
week, but Representative Hull of
wisconsin, successfully moved to
put the merger bill aside for two
weeks.
Representative Tarver of Geor-
gia asserted that Congress was
nearing its end and further de-
lay would ieopardiZe the bin so
Tar as the present session is con-
cerned. tTarver said:
why keep on delaying
action? If we want to kin this
bill, why not vote on it,, do our
duty as we see it and not kill
Il indirectly by pOstponements?"
7 Representative Hull, a persist
ent critic of the entire merger
proposal, filed a statement with
his. colleagues insisting that the
bill is mainly a stock promotion
scheme in the interest of the
North American Company, which
he said has control Of both the
Capital Traction Company, the
Potomac Electric Power Company
and the Washington Railway and
Electric Company.
Representative Hull will address
the committee at its next meet
ing, and meanwhile he asked the
members, to study his memoran
durl. Officials and attorneys Of
