GOVERNMENT UPHELD
IN PROHIBITION CASE
Demurrer to Plea in Bar Interposed
in Glassman Conspiracy Trial
Sustained by Court.

Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat today
sustained the demurrer of the Govern
ment to the plea in bar interposed by
Attorney Alvin l.. Newmyer on behalf of
Herbert GlaSSnan and IL others under
indictment for conspiracy To violate the
national prohibition act.
Newmyer claimed that the interests
of his clients had been prejudiced be-
fore the grand jury by the use OF can
celed checks which had been secured
from GlaSsmans bank and shown the
grand jurors. He commended that the
checks belong to the depositor and
their use before the grand jury required
him to bear witness against himself.
United States Attorney Leo A. Rover
and Assistant United States Attorney
Neil Burkinshaw combated the claims
of Newmyer and insisted that no rights
of Glassman had been violated. The
immunity allowed by the national pro-
hibition act applies only to individuals
and not to documentary evidence, they

today that it may stretch out on the

the people themselves feel the weather

The Star today that no official termi-
nation of the park privileges will be

to show one another the consideration
that has marked their out-of door
sleeping to date.
Running hotel" they say. is diff
ferent from policing parks, and the
men into bell boys, house detectives and
chambermaids is real job. In the first
place, there are not quite enough Of
them to perform all the tasks usually
done by regular hotel Staffs. Therefore
Col. Grant and Capt. Montgomery to-
day requested SleeperS to pick up news
papers out of which they have made
their beds. There is quite a lot of lit
ter, they said, and it should be picked

They also requested the Sleepers to
show each other 1.-The same kind of
consideration you want everybody else
to show you and the guests of the parks
will be even more comfortable" Capt.
Montgomery mentioned particularly
loud talking and boisterous play; not
that they have marked each night the
parks have been slept in, but simply
as little reminder and a suggestion
of still further means of being COM
Portable, though hot.
Both officers said today, as long as
Washington folk feel they could find
relief by sleeping out in the parks they
may do so. The same letting down of
parking restrictions which are feature
of every emergency" will prevail
double parking will be allowed and, in
the case of the particularly popular
Hams Point, parking will be permitted
on both sides of the roadway.
With the gradual breaking of the
present heat wave, the numbers of park
sleepers will be reduced. That was
noticeable last night when approx
mately 1900 persons slept out at Hams
Point, as against the 1000 to 5000 who
rested there throughout earlier nights
of the hot weather.

THIRD WATER LINK
WITH D. C. SYSTEM
STARTEDBy COUNTY
Washington Suburban Com
mission to Get 100000
Gallons More Daily.
TWO DAYS TO BE NEEDED
IN MAKING CONNECTION
Gross Currents Stir Up Deposits
and Give Taste" but Supply
Is Safe, Says Engineer.

Efforts to repleniSh the diminishing
water supply in the sanitary district
OF Prince Georges and Montgomery
Counties led the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission today to start
work on third connection with the
District of Columbia water system.
The newest connection will be on
Georgia avenue at Silver Spring, Md,
and is expected to furnish at least
500 900 gallons of water daily to the
MARYLAND users, according to Assistant
Engineer Hall of the Sanitary Com
mission.
Mr., Hall said about two days would
be required to make the connection, as
it involves digging up a concrete street
and laying several hundred feet OF 10
inch pipe. Arrangements for this con-
nection were made with the Dlstrict
authorities by Robert B. Morse, chle1
engineer of the Sanitary Commission,
Saturday.
The MARYLAND system is already re-
eeiving about 100000 gallons OF water
dailv from the District through emer-
rency connections at Mount Rainier and
Chevy Chase Circle. Water has been
r,unoped through those points between
ii pm. and 5 am. for the past week.
but last night, in an effort 10 secure
larger quantity, the pumping started
Mt 8 pm. at the Chevy Chase connec-
ton. .
Although consumption of water in
nearby Maryland has decreased appre-
Gladly since the commission ordered res
idents not TO use water for sprinkllng
lawns and gardens, the consumption
still is exceeding the intake and the
commission is giving considerable atten-
ton to enforcement of the sprinkling
edict.
It has been necessary to caution a
number of residents found ignoring the
order. Mr.. Hall said. Most persons SO
warned have obeyed the law, many ex-
planning they did not know an order
prohibiting sprinkling formally had been
passed.
In regard to complaints OF residents
OF Mount Rainier that the mixture OF
MARYLAND water with that received from
the District was not altogether saisfac-
tory, Mr. Hall declared that the cross
current caused by drawing water from
one system into the other sometimes
has tendency to stir up deposits and
cause the water to have taste" or be
CLOUDY" In spite of such taste" or
appearance, the engineer says the water
Is perfectly safe.

PRESIDENT NAMES
STATISTICS GROUP
Better Unemployment Fig
ureS and Other Benefits
Expected to Result.

For the purpose of arriving at the
best method of revision of the Statis-
tical services of the Government for
the determination of unemployment
and to establish the method of CO.
operation between Government depart
mentS and business, a special commit
tee was appointed today by President
Hoover.
In making this known at his con-
ference with newspapermen today, The
President pointed out that Congress
at its last session added to the require
mentS of this service, the purpose Of
such information being not only a
barometer of business, but the neces-
sary information as to measures which
need to be taken by local agencies as
well as the Government in any con-
structive relief of unemployment.
Expects Experts Aid.
Stating that need for more systematic
information has been generally Endorsed
by business and labor organizations
for some years, the. President hopes to
bring together the best brains of the
country to assist In solving this prob
lem.
He said the committee will be made
representative of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, the United States Cham
Der of Commerce, the Manufacturers
Association, the Industrial Conference
Board, the Railway Employees and other
labor organizations: the National Bu-
reau of Economic Research, the Com
mittee on Economic Changes and other
economic bodies.
Mr.. Stewart, chief of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, and Mr. Staurt, d.
rector of the Census and representa-
tive of the Department of Agriculture"
the President said, will be ex-of1cio
members
Question Not Simple.
THE question is not as simple as it
appears on the surface" Mr.. Hoover
added. THE inclusion of a determine
ton of the amount of unemployment
in the census taken April / gives us
for the first time an accurate basis on
which to formulate plans and a knowl-
edge of the whole problem which we
have never hitherto possessed. But If
We were to attempt to have such q
determination of employment every
three months, it would require a house
toulouse canvass of the entire Nation
and would be practically equivalent of
the census and might cost us 10 or Is
million dollars per annum.
On the other hand, 1t has been long
recognized that the present Labor De-
partment statistics are inadequate, the
cost of which is about $150,000 per
annum. In order to secure the in
formation we need at reasonable cost,
we must find new basis for recruiting
1t. Such basis can only be formu-
lated by the cooperation of industry,
labor and other agencies"

COLORED CITIZENS
SEEK BETTER JOBS
Committee Asks Commissioners to
Urge Merchants to Hire More
People Of Race.

A group of colored citizens interested
in securing better representation for
colored persons in paying vacations
called upon the District Commissioners
today and asked their help in persuad-
ing merchants and others to give en-
ployment to colored people. The group
presented resolution reading, in part:
I'VE believe the desired feeling would
be materially promoted if the Commits
sioners, as the administrative municipal
heads of this community, would suggest
TO the Washington Board of Trade, the
Chamber of Commerce, the builders and
retail and wholesale manufacturers to
employ and further the employment OF
colored men and women in the trade
and productive activities for which they
may be adapted and qualified, and hope
that it may be agreeable and consistent
with their sense of public duty to act
accordingly"
Commissioner Luther H. Reichel-
derfer. speaking for his colleagues, said
the city heads appreciated the problems
of the colored residents and would DO
what they could for them.

cation, which numbered about Is, were

HUNT FOR WOMAN

Report of Limp Body in Park

Potomac, Md.

A story Of the inert body OF . woman
seen sprawled IN q parked car near
Potomac, Md, last night threw the
town into an uproar and brought out
more than 200 searchers for some evil
dence of supposed murder. Their
quest was unsuccessful.
Police, members of the. Rockville and
Kensington Volunteer Fire Departments
and large posse of citizens combed
the neighborhood for several hours,
finally giving up the search about mid
night.
The beginning of the hunt lay in q
report at Rockville police headquarters
by Ohio Talbot, first vice president of
the Montgomery County National Bank.
Mr.. Talbot said he Wss driving along
the road between Potomac and Great
Falls early last night when he saw
a car parked alongside the road, with
man standing beside 1t. In the ma
chine, he said, was q woman lying
with her head hanging outside from
the seat.

machine had been seen, but found no
sign of 1t there.
After an unsuccessful search, he sum-
moned the Rockville and Kensington
Volunteer Fire Departments. The pow
erful headlights OF the fire apparatus
were used to aid the searches.
Police this morning were convinced
that Mr. Talbot saw woman who had
been taken i'll, rather than one who
had been murdered.
Last night Mr.. Talbot told police that
the man standing beside the car had
something in his hand which might
have been a weapon.

Navigator Describes Strange
Water Area Containing
No Oxygen.
HELD NATURAL BARRIER
TO OCEANIC MIGRATION
Circulation of Pacific Currents Re-
vealed as Different From At
lantic's, Affecting Climates.

A belt of death in the Southern Pa
cific was discovered by the Carnegie,
non-magnetic ship Of the Carnegie In
stitution of Washington on her last
cruise before she was destroyed by fire
in the harbor of Apia, Samoa.
The discovery was described in a
radio address given last night by o. w.
Torreson, navigator of the Inflated ship,
under the auspices of the American As
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Science.
Length Is Unknown.
This belt of death Is an area ap-
proximately 100 miles wide and ex-
tending an unknown distance east and
west, In which the water contains no
oxygen. 1t starts 300 feet below the
ocean surface and extends downward
for 1000 feet. 1t is unlikely, Mr. Tor
reSon pointed out, that any living crea-
ture, depending upon oxygen for life,
could pass through such an extensive
area.
Thus, it must serve as a natural
barrier to the migrations north and
south of the creatures which live in
the ocean depths, and hence must be
q factor of considerable significance in
the distribution of life over the globe.
Ever since the cruise ended" said
Mr.. Torreson, I'VE have been working
on the measurements that we're made
and on the samples collected, and many
new facts have been discovered. One
of our most outstanding discoveries is
that the assumptions which have been
made up to the present about the cir
culation Of the water of the Pacific are
wrong. 1t has been thought to be SINH
lar to the circulation of the Atlantic.
This new knowledge will undoubt-
eddy be important to those who are
studying the climates Of the United
States and other countries bordering
on the Pacific"
Variation Charts Proved Accurate.
The Carnegie was especially inter-
ested. he pointed out, in variations of
the compass due to terrestrial magnet
ism. The measurements show, he said,
that the variation charts used by navi-
gators today are very accurate. The
Carnegie'S work has made it possible
to predict accurately the changes that
take place from year to year IN COM
pass variation.
On the last voyage data were OBJ
tanned concerning wind circulation
over the ocean which promise to make
transoceanic flying safer in the future.
