SIMMONS SCORED
FOR FIGHT TACTICS
0'Connor Defends Police and
Firemen'S Pay Increase
in House.

Sharp criticism Of Chairman Simmons
Of the subcommittee on District appro-
priations for his threat to filibuster
against the police and firemen's pay in
crease bill unless amendments dictated
by him were accepted was voiced in the
House late yesterday by Representative
strong arguments in support of the pay
increases and demand for early enact
ment of this measure.
Expressing the hope "for the dignity
Of this House and its reputation as q
deliberative body" that the tyrannical
grasp upon it and It's deliberations by
one or two men will be broken into
smithereens, and challenging his col
leagues to announce that the majority
views OF this House will be expressed in
no uncertain terms, Notwithstanding the
obstructive tactics Of q few shadows who
obscure and Smoke-Screen the real foes
of this policemen's and firemen's pay
bill, for the passage of which WASH
ington IS clamoring," Mr.. OConnor said
in part:
I'VE have those who have the temeri-
ty, as they are few In number to ap-
pear as the giants Of this House and
tell us as pygmies that we cannot con-
slider this bill because they may resort
~ ESe@AAA0AAA~ANe1AS Cb4 dOG6y d1lu b6CtICS
which will fritter away the day and
prevent us from accomplishing the pur-
pose so much desired by the people Of
the District of Columbia, who are told
In effect almost tnsolently and arro-
gantly that they shall not spend their
own money in their own way and as
they please in recognition Of the valor-
Gus services Of these poor and humble
but brave men.
"a majority view apparently means
nothing in this House. A few so-called
imaginary TitanS are able to issue q
ukase and in the most tryannical, ag-
gressive and impressive manner imag-
Unable retard and defeat the will of the
majority In a free institution such as
this House Is supposed to be, and among
the representatives of the people of the
United States practically block an at
tempt to do justice to men who are
far more entitled to this relatively in
significant sum than the beneflciaries
whose SHOUTS we have creased so often
IN the past"
In arguing for passage of the bill he
declared that he has no more interest
in the wage earners than ninety-nine
one -hundredths Of his colleagues, but
that he does have q very real interest
because he was born among the toilerS.
He emphasized the very large appropri-
atoms made for other purposes, tnclud-
| ing reduction In surtaxeS amounting to
many millions.

RUM BUY DECISION
OPINIONS CONFLICT
Senator Sheppard's Desire for En-
actment Of Law Opposed
by Jones.


A sharp conflict Of opinion among the
dry leaders Of the Senate was produced
today by the Supreme Courts decision
yesterday declaring the purchaser of
bootleg liquor ordinarily immune from
prosecution.
The disagreement concerned the ad-
visibility of seeking the early enact
ment Of legislation to make the liquor
buyer punishable under the prohibition
laws. Senator Sheppard of Texas urged
that such action be undertaken. Sena-
tor Jones of Washington. expressed an
opposite view.
Sheppard was co-author Of the eight
zenith amendment. Early in the present
session he introduced a bill to make the
seller and purchaser of Illicit liquor
equally liable to punishment. Jones Is
the author of the famous 'five-and-tcn
law" providing severe maximum pen
alties for violation Of the dry statutes.
The Supreme Courts decision, rem
dered yesterday, said that unless the
question Of illegal transportation and
possession is involved, the purchaser Of
bootleg liquor Is not liable to proSecu-
ton. The court held that Congress lad
: deliberately and designedly omitted to
1tmpose upon the purchaser Of liquor fol
beverage purposes any criminal liabil-

But ladies and sweets are merely
passing pleasures in the life Of the old
veteran who served through the World
War with distinction, and what are
few Jumps Of sugar to the digestion Of
one who survived and grew healthy on
war rations?
Hunter was in all probability the only
guest at the ball who walked to his
home, o distance Of at least three miles,
after the evenings festivities. Remain
ing at the hotel until the last guest had
departed, he left the Willard at about
2. so this morning and. accompanied by

Christmas Fund Release Date
Advanced as Help to
Merchants.

IN the annual campaign to move the
peak of the Christmas shopping rush
forward, the Merchants g. Manufac-
turers' Association announced yesterday
that the banks of the city have signi-
fed their cooperation in the drive by
planning distribution of Christmas saw
ings funds during the first week Of
December instead of around the
fifteenth of that month, as done in
previous years.

citation tooay, that savings funds. the
original subscriptions of which totaled
$7,835,233, will be placed in circula-
ton among about 20 per cent of the
population of the District in ample time
for Christmas shopping.
Citing figures for the past six years,
which show an increase of approx

Christmas savings funds depositors and
more than 100 per cent increase in the
amount deposited, Mr.. Shaw declared

connected disabilities, even though prior
to the veterans death he was receiving
practically total rating and compen-
sation award from the Government.
Mr.. Wolman suggested the pension pat
termed after the Civil War and Spanish
War legislation.
Regarding national defense, Mr.. VOL
man said his organization would urge
an appropriation SUFFICIENT to insure
adequate defense. The organization also
will urge completion of hospital and
domiciliary facilities and the prompt
payment of the World War adjusted
service certificates at face value to re-
lieve the unemployment situation.
