EMBARGO KILLS
Va. POLITICS

LURAY, Va, Aug. 19.-Dry
weather has nearly killed politics
in this, the fighting Seventh
Congressional district" A month
ago the campaign between Repre-
sentative J. A. CARRIER, Republi.
can, and John w. w. Fishburne,
Democrat, promised to be one Of
the closest and hottest in Vir-
ginia.
Both were nominated more
than a month ago and there has
been no suggestion Of politics.
Not even a political breeze has
been noticed. The only thing
that smacks Of politics was a
Democratic dodger scattered
throughout the district soon after
CARRIER and FishburI1e were nomi-
mated. The circular was signed
by Fishburne and attacked the
Republicans for the British EN-.
barge placed on Virginia apples
some time ago.
CARRIER replied to the circular,
declaring that the embargo was
put in effect long before the Haw-
ley-Smoot tariff bill was enacted.
In FiSburne'S circular he de-
clared that the Hawley-SmooC
tariff bill was the cause Of the
British embargo. Sinc' that time,
as the severest drought ever
known has swept every county
in the district. both CARRIER and
Fishburne have been as silent as
Egyptian mummies.
Farmers are too busy devising
means by which their families,
horses and cattle may be kept
from starvation during the COM
ing winter to discuss politics.
They do not want to discuss Gar
ber'S and FiShburne'S chances Of
election, two months off.
Republicans, however, say that
this is the last time they will ever
go into a Congressional district
without the aid Of several Repub-
lican papers espouSing the cause
Of their candidate. There are
about a dozen Democratic papers
in the district that may awake
before the election and champion
Fishburne's candidacy. In the 10
counties of the district there is
not q straight out Republican
paper. This handicap. the Re
publicans say, will be removed
before another election. The Re
publicans point out that they can
easily win in this district il they
have one or two real, live papers.
The district, the Republicans,
say Is a rich field "for a live,
worthwhile Republican organ" =

En,brey, Bank Bandit,

Paul Calvin Embrey, held in con-

Bank several weeks ago, following
the filing of a petty larceny
charge against him yesterday.
Eva Farrell, Of the 200 block
Fourteenth st. N. W., whom EN-
brey could not resist and who
in the end proved his undoing,
yesterday charged that he had

the man who was searching for
him a box Of salt water taffy

RECHECKED
Estranged Woman Arrested
Again After Last Rites Held;
Police AIIege Discrepancy

BALTIMORE. Md, Aug. H.
Police Of Baltimore county today
believed they are nearing a solu-
ton Of the murder Of Joseph
Reimer, 81, whose charred body
was found Friday night in the
ashes Of a fire behind his Back
River cottage.
The new optimistic view Of the
officers followed the arrest last
night Of three Fort Hoyle soldiers,
who we're taken to the Essex po-
lice station by Sergt. Claude Funk
and Patrolman James Guy. They
were grilled separately for three
hours by Lieut.. william r. Dor
sey and other police officials.
Results Of the quiz were kept
secret by the police.
Widow Rearrested
Police indicated that, with the
detention Of the three soldiers
and Private George Rutter, Bat
terry c, Fort Hoyle, as well as
Mrs. Margaret Reimer, widow of
the murdered man, they believe
good progress should be made to-
day. Mrs. Reimer was taken into
custody for questioning yesterday
for the second time. The second
arrest Of the woman, who had
been eStranged from her husband
for three months, followed the
discovery Of new information
which conflicted with the alibis
offered by the woman and Ritter,
police said.
Mrs. Reimer had been released
q few hours prior to her second
arrest, after several days deten-
tion, to attend her husbands
funeral. She was rearreSted fol-
lowing the interment in Oak
Lawn Cemetery. Rutter, who has
also been held since he and Mrs.
Rutter went voluntarily to the
police station following the dis
covery Of the body, was charged
yesterday with larceny Of several
automobile tires from Andy
Klemm, a neighbor Of the slain
man.
Two More Sought
Two more soldiers are being
sought by the county police. who
have asked that the pair be
turned over to them by the Fort
Hoyle military authorities. The
arrest Of the men was asked, it
was said, after police received In
formation that they were in the
party with Mrs. Reimer and
Rutter when they all visited Fort
Howard several hours after the
discovery of Reimer's body.
The story Of the visit was told
by Pvt. Henry r. Rothenberg, Of
Fort Howard, who said that he
was in the library of the fort
when Rutter and the others en-
tered the gates of the fort in
an automobile. Rutter, he said,
asked the whereabouts of a sol
dier named Eckley, who had been
discharged.
Oil Traces Found
Another soldier was questioned
and released after his story that
he had visited a cottage near the
Reimer home, but that he did
not know the dead man and had
never been in his home. was
found to be true.
Another survey Of the murder
scene revealed a tin pail, the
odor Of which indicates it may
have contained oil, police say.
Another pail, found earlier, is
thought to have contained home
brew.
