It was a part oddly enough, that
OLD Maxwell loved to play, the
touching character part Of the be-
nevolent old friend. Being the d.
riot opposite to his own character
he could play 1t with an eclat that
was really astounding. To the kindly
honorable old doctor Maxwell's man
ner was wonderful.

toward And street and Broadway,

ballard, both his voice and manner

Workery Under Communist Banners, the
Unemployment Situation, Lnjuuctious, old
Age Pensions and Labor Legislation.

Green says the A. F.. of L, couldn't under
stand how the House of Representatives, after
many months of serious unemployment could
fail, as it did, to pass the constructive legiSla-
ton provided in the three Wagner bills which
were passed by the Senate. Only one of these
bills passed the House-the one authorizing col
lection of additional statistics on employment.
The others, strongly backed by organized labor,
would have set up advanced planning of public
works to meet emergencies and national Sys-
tenn of employment agencies.
Unemployment in the first six months of
this year presented most distressing picture"
Green explains Reports from our trade
unions showed that it averaged more than 20
per cent among the workers in organized labor,
which means, according to our estimates
persistent unemployment for the first half of
the year of more than 100000 wage earners
Instead of improving as the year wore on,
the situation was as bad in June, with 20 per
cent unemployment, it was in January. In
1928 and 1929 the situation was clearing up
rapidly by May
THE Importance of employment and con-
tinuous wages to prosperity has long been
clearly apparent to every one. Higher wage
rates and stable employment would increase
wage earners' incomes SO that they might buy
the things they want and need-bathtubs, shoes,
clothing

Headquarters of the Quebec army and
navy veterans organization, which or
gained the sweepstake, obtained the
check and deposited it in the bank be-
fore the rest of the family caught up
with him.
Daniel Dougherty, the father, and
Daniel, jr., accompanied by a lawyer,
dashed into the bank to find Edward
posing with the check for cameramen.
1.-THE winning ticket was NINE" said
the elder Dougherty with glare when
invited to stand before the cameras.
''I'n come into a photo when these
boys sign paper saying they will ac-

reared.

CONF|sCATED GUN
NOT DEATH WEAPON
Police Tests Show Pistol Not
Used on Alexandria
Officer.

The investigation into the staying OF
Police Sergt. Alton B. Hummer two
years ago, quietly revived by Alexandra
authorities recently with the finding OF
a .45-caliber Army automatic in the
home Of two colored suspects. has again
led into blind trail, and the police
are as far removed from a solution OF
the crime as ever.
Lieut.. John Fowler. firearms expert
of the Metropolitan Police Department
Yesterday completed an examination OF
the conflscated weapon and reported
that the pistol is not the one which was
used in the murder of the Alexandria
policeman by an unidentified man on
August 1S, 1928.
Fowler Makes Tests.
Several tests of the gun were made
by Lieut. Fowler at the Bureau of
Standards laboratories before he an
nounced that the markings on the bullets
in no way resemble those on the two
slugs which killed Sergt. Hummer.
The pistol was seized by Detective
Sergt Edgar Sims, Sergts. George
EVERY, Lawrence E. Padgett and Pvt.
George w Embrey while searching a
colored residence in which it was be-
hidden.
Police said that the house where the
gun was found is occupied by two COL
ored men who moved to Alexandria a
short time before the murder and are
known to be tough characters"
With the finding Of the revolver,
Alexandria police believed that they
had uncovered a strong lead toward the
solution of the murder. which took
-. -s.-<r rot
Hummer was making his rounds of the
city to check up on the members of
his squad.
Man Seen Running.
Several persons who were awakened
by the sounds of the shooting fastened
to their windows in time to see man
run from the scene and disappear. A
dragnet was thrown out Immediately,
and several scores of persons were ar
rested for questioning, but all of those
taken into custody were later cleared
The shooting occurred at the mouth
of an alley in the 200 block of South
Alfred street. Miss Lena Shapiro, who
was reading in her bedroom overlooking
the alley. told police she heard two
men talking at the entrance to the
alleyway and after several minutes of
angry discussion she heard one voice
say:
L won't stand for that any longer.
] won't bother with you again"
Officer Wounded Twice.
Three quick shots rang out Sergt.
Hummer was wounded twice, while
bullet from the policeman's revolver
imbedded itself in fence about feet
high a short distance down the alley
It is believed that Sergt. Hummer drew
his gun and fired as he sank to the
ground, fatally wounded.
Police made no arrests at the time
the Army revolver, the same type used
by the killer, was found. but close
watch was made of the movements of
the two colored men living in the house
where it was found to forestall any
attempt they might make to leave the
city
Neither knew that police seized the
gun to have 1t examined by Lieut..

their successors be enjoined from en-
forcing the sidewalk assessment. Her
bill also asked that the assessment be

The municipal authorities removed a
brick sidewalk in front of the COM

opinion points out that "the complain
ant is rather clear in her statement
that she preferred the old brick side
walk, which had seen many years OF
service and which she considered good
enough for her purposes.
But it has been several times de-

question whether a sidewalk needs re-

the individual owner. but for the au-

of their position, are charged with the
