1t was a very disinterested group of
Chinese, who quietly played cards at
Hip Sing Tong headquarters, on lower
Pennsylvania avenue, last night while
the police vice squad searched the
premises, arrested one man, and seized
205 quarts Of Chinese liquor.
And strangely enough say the police,
most sill of the unperturbed card play

The squad, headed by Sergt. Oscar j.
Letterman and armed with a warrant,
first visited the headquarters of the

avenue, and after q thorough search
were convinced it was bone dry.
On the fourth floor, however, the
raiders reported they found considerable
gaming equipment, but that none of it
was in use. This was seized. No one
was arrested.
At Hip Sing headquarters, at 325

BREWSTER SANITY
BOARD TO REPORT
Medical Experts to Meet To-
morrow to Draw Up
Findings.

The special Army medical board ap-
pointed to determine the sanity of
Howard L. Brewster, the soldier who
has puzzled police and Department of
Justice agents with his alternate con-
fession and denial Of the staying of
Mary Baker. will meet tomorrow to draw
up its findings.
Brewster remained at Walter Reed
Hospital today, where doctors put him
through the final steps of a neurological
examination. He will be returned this
afternoon to the barracks of the head
quarters company to which he Is at
tached, and probably subjected to an
other grilling by headquarters detectives
and agents OF the Department Of JUS
tice.
Although members Of the medical
board decline to discuss the results of
their observation of Brewster thus far,
one Of them said he is satisfied that the
soldier knows right from wrong" Tests
have shown, 1t was said, that he exer-
ciseS normal judgment and does not suf-
fer decisions or Authorizations.
The medical board is composed of
Maj. Charles L. Maxwell, Maj. William
c. Porter and Mai. Patrick s. Mattigan.
The report of its findings will be SUBJ
mitted to the headquarters ONCE of the
Medical Corps.
Despite indications that the board
may render a finding that Brewster is
sane. Washington police officials re-
iterated that they do not plan to take
any action against the soldier since
the crime, according to his original
confession which he recanted, was
committed In Arlington County. Will
liam G. Cloth, commonwealth attorney
of Arlington County also has indicated
that he would not initiate any proceed
ings against the soldier unless evidence
is found to corroborate some of his
statements.

"GUN-TOTING" BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
Mcleod Measure Designed to Con-
troll Sale and Use of Pistols
in District.

The Mcleod so-called gun toting'
bill, to control the possession, sale,
transfer and use of pistols and other
dangerous weapons in the District of
Columbia, which provides penalties and
prescrtbes rules Of evidence, was passed
by the House late yesterday. 1t now
goes to the Senate.
In explaining the need for this legis-
lation, Acting Chairman Mcleod of the
House District committee, in charge OF
the bill, said:
Our committee has given considera-
ton to various bills introduced in past
sessions of Congress to regulate the
sale, use and possession of firearms
There Is urgent necessity for the pas
sage OF this measure, as at the present
time there Is a lack of control over
the sale of pistols and other dangerous
weapons. Any person can now secure
the delivery Of revolver upon the pay
ment OF the price without any inves-
tigation having been made as to the
purpose for which it is desired, the
character Of the purchaser or the frame
OF mind in which the purchaser may
be at the time of purchase.
THE use Of revolvers in the COM
mission Of crime has grown to such an
extent that 1t is no longer an unusual
occurrence to have crime committed
by an armed person, and in order to
suppress the further spread of this
practice it is believed essential that in
addition to the punishment which may
be prescribed for the particular crime
which has been committed that there
should be an additional penalty if such
crime is committed by an armed person
1.-THE Commissioners of the District
and the major and superintendent of
the Police Department assure your COM
mittee that there is q very real need
for this legislation"

FRAGMENTS BELIEVED
PARTS OF AUTOMOBILE
Materials Examined at Joint Con-
ference of Attorneys in Seat
Pleasant Disaster.

An effort TO prove that the bomb
fragments found in the home of John
Hall following the Seat Pleasant ex-
plosion were composed Of materials
used for the construction or repair Of
automobiles is believed the motive for
a trip to Cleveland, Ohio, now being
made by Sheriff Charles S. Early OF
Prince Georges County and j. Wilson
Ryon, who is assisting States Attorney
J. Frank Parran IN the prosecution.
Early and Ryon left last night and
expect to return tomorrow. Their ex-
act destination was not disclosed. just
what information they sought was not
revealed, but it was admitted they made
the trip in connection with the bomb
ing case.
Seek Proof Of Construction.
It is understood that the prosecution
Is endeavoring to prove that the frag-
ments Of the bomb now in their posses
sion were made from parts OF Chew
rolet motor car. Leroy Brady, Wash
ington automobile mechanic, who with
his brother Herman was indicted for
the bombing, worked in q local Chev-
rolet establishment.
The principal fragments Of the bomb
In the hands of the prosecution were
found by several Seat Pleasant boys
and turned over to the authorities by
The Star. DR.. Charles e. Munroe of
the Bureau Of Mines, one Of the Gov
ernment'S foremost explosive experts,
after examining the fragments, said
that If they were parts of the bomb.
the internal machine was a most un-
usual type.
It was also learned today that the
fragments were examined at a joint
conference between the prosecuting and
defense attorneys in Baltimore a few
day ago. The conference was arranged
in order to expedite the trial of the
Bradys, which starts at Rockville Tues
day. Defense Attorneys Magruder,
SaSscer and Hall had asked for a day
in which to have experts retained by
them examine the fragments after
they had been introduced in evidence.
The prosecution, however, volunteered
to let the defense examine the frag-
ments before the trial started. The ex-
animation was accordingly conducted
at the meeting of the lawyers and ex-
perts In John Hopkins University.
Mrs. Naomi Hall Brady, wife of Her
man, was killed when the bomb went
OF on New Year day. Her brother
Samuel and her sister Dorothy died a
few days later from injuries received
In the explosion.

Getting Facts

New York has undertaken the
most comprehensive water survey
of any state, according to recent
article appearing in Outdoor Amer
lea, official publication of the Izaak
Walton League of America. A
field staff of thirty-three scientists
is spending the summer studying
conditions in the northwestern por-
ton of the Adirondack's and the
st. Lawrence area. This is the
fifth consecutive season that the
Conservation Department has plac-
ed such staff in the field to carry
forward its twelve-year program
to cover each watershed in the
state.
The majority of the staff workers
are drawn from the educational in
situations of that state and else
where. Among them are biologists,
biologists, chemists. ichthyologists,
botanists, parasitologists, artists
and photographers.
The primary object of this study
is to develop a scientific policy for
stocking streams, lakes and ponds
Information helpful in various 9TH
er directions is collected. The sur
vey is financed through appropria-
tions from the Conservation Fund
Recently the complete report COW
ering the investigations during the
summer of 1929, the fourth of the
series, came off the press. This re.
port covers the Lake Champlain
area and gives the findings of the

Agricultural Notes
SiIage From Drouth-Damaged Corn

Silage From Drouth- Damaged Corn
The severe and widespread
drouth has damaged a large per-
cent of the corn crop, and to save
what has been grown is an import
ant matter for the stock keeper.
The common practice in the corn
belt of growing the crop principal
ly for the grain, has been the Ma
tons greatest waste. This is Of
ten referred to as the "Billion-Dol-
lar Waste" Now that we are
short of hay and fodder, surely we
should turn some of this material
to a useful end.
We have little reliable informa-
ton as to the value of drouth-dam-
aged silage. 1t is generally sup
posed that corn, rich in grain, will
produce better silage than corn
with low yield. In 1901, when the
western corn belt suffered a Sc
we're drouth, I filed a silo from a
field which was so damaged that it
would not have yielded over four
bushels per acre. This silage was
fed to dairy cattle and produced
excellent results. It analysed low
er in carbohydrates but higher in
protein than normal silage. The
yield of silage per acre was only
half a normal crop, but even with
the low yield we obtained between
| fuo on1 civ TONS nor ocro
It is often said that forty per
cent of the nutriment of the corn
plant is found in the stalk and
leaves. This. of course, is based
on a normal crop. Where the plant
is damaged by drouth, the value of
the stalk and leaves greatly in
creases and it would be safe to
say this year that over fifty per
cent of the value of the national
corn crop is in the stalk and leaves,
Stock-keepers who find them
selves short of fodder would do
well to buy stalk fields from neigh
bors who do not make it a practice
to cut or ensile their crop. In this
way it will be possible to obtain
4 an excellent and ample supply OF
feed and at practically no incurred
cost.
For farmers who feed or raise
any number Of livestock and have
not been ensiling their corn, it is
possible this year to obtain full
value for their drouth-damaged
corn by putting it into the silo. A
silo, as. rule, will double the value
of the corn crop.-A. L. Hacker.
