BALTIMORE, Md, August 9.-The
promise that prohibition agents who
halt motorists without adequate reason
to believe that the law is being violated
will be held to strict accountability is
made in a letter made public today
from Amos w. w. Woodcock, prohibit

the dry agents 1.-The best-trained group
of officers in the world"
Mr.. Wodcock's stand was given In
reply to a communication growing out
of the incident near here July II when
two officers were said to have fired two
shots at car containing E. G. Duncan,
State roads engineer, and his wife.
81 do not propose that prohibition
agents shall stop automobilists except
as the law gives them the right so to
do" said the letter. THAT is upon
probable cause that the motorist is
hibition officers to strict accountability
for the carrying out of this principle.
Motorists, however, must recognize
the authority of prohibition agents to
stop and search their cars where there
is proper cause to believe that the law
is being violated. I" y.
"I hope that the efforts of prohibit
ton agents, under my regime, will make
travel safer and more comfortable for
the public. I intend that this force
shall be the best-trained group of OFF,

keep on parity with their duty to de-

FOREST FIRE RACES
NEAR RAPIDAN CAMP
Marines Augment Volunteer Fight
ers Who Battle Blaze Seven Miles
From Presidents Lodge.

BY the Associated Press.
ORANGE, Va. August Busy
studying the drought situation today
President Hoover had it brought more
sharply to his attention by sweeping
forest fire just seven miles from his
lodge.
AS a wind blew the flames toward
the Rapidan camp a detachment of
Marines turned out to supplement the
efforts of forest rangers and volunteer
fighters. There was no immediate
danger at the lodge, however. The
blaze broke out in Pine Grove Hollow
during the night.
The smoke from several smaller fires
also was clearly visible from the OBJ
Servation tower above Mr.. Hoover's
cabin. On his way to the camp yes
terday parched fields and dusty roads
were vivid evidence of the long dry
spell and at the camp a flower garden
planted and tended by Mrs. Hoover
was brown and scared.

NO RELIEF IS SEEN
YET FOR HEAT HERE:
Prospect for Today Is That
Mercury viii Probably
Soar to 100 Again.

With every prospect that the mercury
in Washington will duplicate this after
noon and tomorrow the 101 degrees in
temperature registered at the Weather
Bureau station yesterday, hundreds OF
Washingtonians were preparing today
to seek temporary relief over the week
end at nearby mountain and seaside
resorts.
Reluctant at the Weather Bureau
was to admit It, there was no promise
of train or even light showers to cool
sizzling city pavements or quench the
thirst of scared suburban lawns. To
those who will remain to swelter in the
city from the unprecedented heat en-
durance record the only comforting as
surance the Weather Bureau could give
was the prediction that tomorrow night
would not be quite so hot"
Considering local weather conditions
as a whole, it was said there would be
no change in the hot temperature of
the last few days. 1t was not believed,
however, the mercury would exceed
yesterdays high mark, which caused
Government departments to close at
8 o'clock. But Weather Bureau officials
say that at least 101 degrees is in sight
for this afternoon.
Forecast for Week.
With partly cloudy skies tomorrow,
the humidity will tend to make people
feel as warm even If the mercury
doesn't register quite so high.
The weather outlook for next week,
beginning Monday, issued today by the
Middle Atlantic States showers Tues
day night or Wednesday and again
toward the end of the week. Cooler
weather will prevail the first nalf OF
the week with moderate temperatures
thereafter"
Last nights general discomfort was
blamed on the humidity. Many per-
sons were mistaken for this reason in
believing it was the hottest night
washington has experienced during the
present heat wave.
With a humidity of only 10 per cent
at 8 o'clock when the official thermome-
ter was registering 101 yesterday after
noon, the heat was not so disconcert-
ing as it might have been. But at 8
O'Clock last night, the humidity had
risen to SO per cent, caused by clouds
that blanketed in the heat.
Temperature Only 81.
The mercury stood only at 81 degrees
though it felt much warmer. 1t re-
manned at that point for three hours
and at midnight, while many persons
were seeking refuge in Potomac and
Rock Greek Parks, 1t lowered around
"a degrees with high humidity.
BY early morning, however. the at
mosphere began to cool. The mini
mum was reached at 4 O'Clock, the
mark being n degrees. This was one
degree cooler than yesterdays mini
mum.
With the sun shining brightly, the
temperature rose steadily until at 8
O'Clock, with humidity of 81 per cent,
the mercury was registering 80 degrees.
BY 10 o'clock it had touched 80. For
tunately, however, the humidity had
dropped to 40 per cent. At IL o'clock
the reading was SO degrees, the same
as yesterday at that hour and at 2:30
it had gone to 80.

Victims Unable to- Identity
Suspects Held in McCrory
HoId-up Case.
POLICEMEN FIND TWO
BITS OF THEFT EVIDENCE
Alibi Is Defense of All Three Pris-
oners Now Being Held
for Investigation.

A valuable lead, which detectives
hope may bring about an early solu-
ton of the McCrory Five and Ten Cent
Store hold-up, was uncovered today
with the finding of the money satchel
taken from Earl D. Flory and Harvey
w. Smith and hat worn by one of
the three gunner who accosted the
messengers as they walked from the
store at Seventh and E streets late
Thursday afternoon.
The hat, bearing the label of Balti-
more manufacturer, and the money
satchel we're found lying on Talbert
street southeast this morning by po-
liceman of the eleventh precinct, short
distance from the spot where the auto
mobile used in the robbery was found
yesterday.
Still Held Cash Box.
Efforts are now being made to de-
termine whether the hat is owned by
one of the three suspects being held
in connection with the hold-up The
money satchel, its lock smashed, still
contained the cash box in which the
two runners were taking $1,000 to the
bank for deposit. Seventy cents and
several postage stamps were in the coin
box when it was picked up by the
policeman.
Along with efforts to establish the
ownership of the hat, detectives were
planning an attack on the alibi offered
by John Irwin, "a years old, who is
said by police to be the owner of the
automobile used in the hold-up; Elmer
Bennett, 28, and James Callan, %, who
were arrested in nearby Maryland and
Virginia yesterday and brought here
for questioning.
Flory and Smith said they had never
seen the three men before. but one of
the crowd of passers-by who witnessed
the daring robbery partially identi-
ned" one OF the men last night at po-
lice headquarters, according to de-
tectives. Other witnesses were to look
the men o%er~today.
All Claim AIibis.
The release of Callan, who was ar
rested by squad of Washington de-
tectiyes at his home, near Alexandria,
yesterday morning, is virtually assured,
police say, but he will be held until the
last vestige of doubt as to his location
at the time of the crime has been re-
moved. Callan has established what
police regard AS an air-tight alibl.
Irwin and Bennett, who surrendered
to Baltimore police early yesterday
when they learned they were being
sought, told detectives they were in
swimming at beach near Baltimore
on the afternoon of the hold-up.

afterward declared was his finger.

in the rumble seat, was driven out Six
