several weeks.
AS Herbert was taken from the
courthouse to the jail nearby, his
brother dashed from the shadows,
handed him a few packages Of
cigarettes, clasped his hand and
murmured something to him and

Vas In Tent on Murder NiQht

. Other witnesses called were,
Clifton w. Harrell, his wife and
his daughter, Frances Harrell
Stonnell. The latter declared that
Barrere had visited tent he had
set up on their place, between
1880 and 8 o'clock the night of
the murder, in company with a
man named Kelly.
" Barrere, she said, had been
drinking but did not seem to be in
a vicious mood; on the contrary
he was voluable and inclined to
be in a joking mood. She said:
''He came to the house and
: then went to his tent. He was
! wearing q dark blue suit and
:. black shoes and q soft hat, 1
: believe it was. He made no
effort to clean his shoes or suit
or for that matter to scrub up.

The girl then told of having
finally had Barrere, who boasts
of his prowess over women, move
from their place after he had
made unwelcome advances when
he was intoxicated.
After / o'clock this morning,
Campbell was on the verge Of col
lapse and asked that his brother
Frank; prominent real estate
dealer, be called to bring him
cigarettes and to take care of his
car.
It was during a slight respite
that a huge bat, l1arbinger Of dis

circled about Campbell'S head.

and crouched there until the Varn-

He denied vigorously, however,
that he returned to the culvert
later that night.
When interrogated as to his
motive in seeking to throw the
blame for the Staying on Her
man Barrere who was returned
here last week after being To-
Gated in Montreal, Canada, Camp

the swift Shenandoah, near
Luray, Bobbie Lee Brubaker, 8,
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis C..
Brubaker, 200 block of Charming
st. N. E., pulled Doris Black, 8,

The boy, with his mother and
little brother, Billie, arrived in
Washington today from Luray.
Mrs. Brubaker said they had all
gone out to the dam on the
Shenandoah Friday and the girl
nearest to her. climbed out and,
slipped into the water. Bobbie,
clinging to the rope with a Grip
pied hand, reached for the drown
ing girl.
Several times he missed, but
finally caught her by the hand
and held her until help could
come. The girl quickly recovered.
A week earlier Doris had fallen
into the water at the dam and
was saved by a sister.

what Is q normal temperature

NEW AIR PLANT.
HUGE SUCCESS

The new White House air-condi-
tioning system, which recently
was temporarily out Of perfect
working order, pending extension
of the system to the press room,
now is functioning and officials
of the executive offices are de-
lighted with the coot fresh air
that circulateS on these record
breaking hot days.
After the new ventillating sys-
tenn had been designed, the press
room was moved from the west
to the east side of the entrance
corridor. Although there was no
appropriation available Tor the
extension of, the system to the
new press room, the Carrier En-
gineering Corporation, Of Newark,
N. j., which had the contract,
consented to make the extension
at its own expense.
In order to extend the system
it was necessary to tap pipes
that supplied other offices in the
building, and, pending this period
of experimentation by the COM
pany's engineers and mechanics,
the system did not function per-
fectly.
This temporary failure brought
some criticism from members OF
the press, who occupy q room
deemed by many far too small
for the rather large number Of
White House correspondents.
This congestion made it doubly
difficult for the engineers to per
feet the system, which now is
praised by everyone as marking .
wonderful improvement in the at
mosphere at the executive offices.

HOOVER To SIGN
NAVAL TREATY
FOR MOVIES
Special Ceremony to Be Seen
at White House; Senators
Hasten Away on Vacation

President Hoover will sign the
treaty the United States entered
into with Great Britain and Japan
for limitation Of naval armament
this afternoon.
The hour viii be arranged as
soon as Senators Robinson CD Of
Arkansas and Reed (R.) of Penn
sylyania, who were delegates at
the London conference, are noti-
fled to appear at the White House.
The Presidents signing Of the
document, ratified yesterday by
the Senate, will be featured by Q
ceremony arranged for the sound
motion picture photographers.
Senators ON Vacation
Having ratified the treaty and
ending its special session, the SEN
ate today joined the House on .

along with Great Britain and
Japan, to mutual limitations on
battleshipS, cruisers. aircraft car
rierS, submarines and destroyers.
Proponents of the treaty declared
the limitations gave the United
States an actual parity with Eng
land and a superiority over Japan,
but treaty foes protested the
British were given a superiority
and Japan parity with America.
Heat Hastened End
The tremendous heat wave In
Washington, with temperatures
soaring over the hundred mark,
helped to terminate the special
session. The final adjournment
came rather Unexpectedly and Ad-
ministration leaders abandoned
fights to secure confirmation Of
three members, named by Presi-
dent Hoover to the new Federal
Power Commission, along with
several other lesser nominations.
The Senate adjourned with
Democratic SpokeSmen threaten
ing fights next December against
presidential appointments to both
the power commission and the
newly reorganized tariff COM
mission. The President probably
will name recess appointeeS to
the tariff commission, but the
Federal Power Commission will
lie dormant during the summer,
because recess appointments will
not be in order.
Treaty Foes Fail
The clash over the presidential
appointments came as an after
math to the treaty fight, which
lasted two weeks to a day. The
little band of treaty foes, led by
Senator johnson (RO of Califor-
mia, went down to defeat without
asking quarter.
The lone reservation adopted
was accepted by the Administra-
tion and merely based .atifica-
ton upon the condition that no
secret agreements exist between
the three nations.
The Administrators steam
roller" crushed the opposition,
and the treaty itself was ratified
by vote of So to g.. The op-
ponents had five more votes
paired against the treaty so
their maximum strength totalled

ham, Hale, johnson, Moses, Cd
