HOME RAID BILL
VOTE SOUGHT

It was announced last night by
three powerful G. o. P, leaders in
the Senate that the Howell "home
raid" prohibition enforcement bill
for the District will be brought up
for consideration-and if possible,
brought to a vote-next month.
Senator Watson (R.) of Indiana.
Republican leader in the Senate;
Senator McNary (R) of Oregon,
majority whip. and Senator Goff
(R) Of West Virginia, chairman
of the Steering Committee. COM
prise the trio who sent this New
Year greeting to the city.
Apparently. the decision to
press the measure was the result
of a promise extracted from them
some weeks ago by Senator
Howell (R. of Nebraska, who
wants to make it possible for
police to enter and search
private homes for liquor without
the necessity Of obtaining a
search warrant. The information
of two or more citizens is all
that is necessary before a raid"
can be undertaken, under the
terms of his bill.

The two track-walkers stopped
and rubbed their eyes.
One Of them gasped:
''Do you see the same thing

The second replied:
Eyes: If we aren't both seeing

However, there was no longer
any doubt. A well-dressed man
got up from between the tracks
quite distance away and came
toward them, walking on the ties
Of the Pennsylvania railroad
above the Kenilworth Bridge.
Before he walked very far, he
stretched himself out for a rest,
pillowing his head on one rail.
Then he got up again and, al
ternating strange capers with
rests on the tracks, approached
them.
When he was accosted by the
trackmen, he reclined on the
tracks.

DEALERS GIVEN
RA.Y Of HOPE
FORFEITURE
Committee Asks That Men Be
Kept at Work Till Erection
Of New Building Is Finished

Farmers and dealers associated
with Center Market were given a
ray Of hope today when Secretary
of Agriculture Hyde told their
committee that he would consult
with Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury Heath to ascertain If
anything can be done to extend
the closing time set by Congress
for the market.
Under the law the market must
be- vacated by the stallkeepers at
midnight tomorrow.
The committee called upon Sec
retaFy Hyde today in a last effort
TO have the markets closing DE-
layed for six months.
BY that time, the committee
told Mr.. Hyde, the National Mar
ket Corporation of Washington
will have erected new market
about 10 blocks north Of the
present market.
Can't Change Law
Shortly after the committee
entered the private office Of Mr..
Hyde, the latter told the mem
berS that there was nothing he
could do to change the law.
He intimated that the law was
made by Congress and that it
would take an act Of Congress
;. to extend the closing time set
for the market. -
william 9. becker, a farmer Of
Sandy Springs, Md, then ex-
planned to Mr. Hyde that at a
conference yesterday, Mr.. Heath
told them that arrangements
could be made tO have the clos
ing time extended six months,
but that Mr.. Heath added if that
were done, the farmers and the
dealers would be no better off
then than they are now.
Mr.. Hyde announced that he
would confer with Mr.. Heath
after; he was assured that the
new market building would be
completed before the end Of six
months and that the Center Mar
ket stallkeepers would be able to
move into the new building by
that time.
Seek Hoover Conference
MIR. Becker and Fairfax oyster,
representing the market dealers,
told Mr.. Hyde that if the market
is closed tomorrow IL will mean
that from 500 to 1900 men em.
ployed at the market will be dis
charged and added to the unem-
ployed list. They argued that if
Center Market is permitted to
stand until the new market is
ready no One connected with the
market will be without employ
enent. !
The representatives of the
farmers and the dealers plan to
ask Senator Millard Tyd1ngs to
arrange a conference with Presi-
dent Hoover for them before to-
a.1orrow evening.
They win ask the President,
they said. to, use his executive
power to stop for the time being
the closing hour.
Secretary Heath, at his office
in the Treasury Building this
afternoon, refused to discuss the
Center Market situation. Asked
when the conference with Mr..
Hyde would take place, he simply
answered that he had nothing to
say. It was learned, however,
that Mr.. Heath plans to leave
washington; this afternoon and

HOME
IN WET ROW

Any attempt by the "wets" to
dislodge the Methodist board Of
temperance, prohibition and pub
lie morals from its stronghold
on Capitol Hill will be resisted
to the utmost, DR.. Clarence True
Wilson declared today.
Speaking of plans now being
formulated in Congress to con-
denim the handsome structure oc-
cupied by the board, DR. wilson
said:
I'VE would NOT stand stiIl
and let the vets, or anyone
else who is opposed to the
MethOdiStS, drive US out Of the
building.
DR.. Wilson said that he is not
familiar with the new plan to
take over the structure and said
that he does not know the motive
behind the present move.
Senator KeyeS Of New Hamp-
shire, chairman Of the Senate
Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds, predicted several
days ago that the building will
have to be condemned and torn
down to make way for beautifi-
cation Of the Capitol grounds.
DR.. Wilson said today that If
it is shown that the beautifica.
ton program really demands
that the Methodist Building be
eliminated, his organization would
yield.

Maybe It's the business depres-
sion or something, but it is going
to be much cheaper to get that
January / headache this year.
Tomorrow night the curtain will
be rung down on 1880 and those
who want to play as the year ends
will find the cost cut considerably
from last year. .t
For instance, the price scale for
table, supper, favors and dancing
in hotels, night clubs and clubs
will range from $3.50 to $40, and
most of the places are asking the
lower figures.

SIMMONS RAPS
D. c. SCHOOL
OFFICIALS
Representative Says Funds
Available Were Not Used
and DepIores Congestion

A statement castigating alleged
tardiness Of washington school
officials in providing additional
school facilities authorized and ap-
propriated for was issued at noon
today by Representative Robert G..
Simmons (R0 Of Nebraska, chair
man Of the District subcommittee
Of the House Appropriations Com
mittee.
At the outset, Representative
Simmons charged that every year
prior to hearings on the District
appropriation bill:
"The school officials find
some reason or excuse for break
ing into print with some state
ment about the awful condition
Of the Washington schools. 1t
may be only . coincidence that
this occurs just before the Dis
trict hearings, but it always Oc-
ours in this way"
Hits DR.. BahOu
After discussing congestion in
Washington schools, particularly
at Western High School, and as
serting that DR.. Frank w. Ballou,
superintendent Of schools, was
mainly responsible for not using
authorizations and appropriations
available, Representative Simmons
concluded:
81 am advised that when con-
structiOn Alice Deal and Cor
don Junior is completed that
the congestion at Western High
will be relieved. The apprOpria-
tiOns have been made. The
remedy is I'm the hands OF the
school and District officials.
They can speed mp or further
delay the program.

bia will be interested to know
that there has been apprOpri-
ated and available for school
buildings since July ] last, the
sum Of $1,67O,O 900, for which no
contracts have been let"
In his general arraignment Of
school officials, Representative
Simmons alleged that:
Failure Is Raped
'They should not now evade
their responsibility by saying
they do not control the build
ing Of new school buildings.
The statement is true that they
do not control the building Of
buildings, but two years ago
Congress provided for . bust

CAUSE STILL
UNDECIDED
BYDOCTORS
Fall Remains Unexplained in
Passing Of 1t. Bruce Settle;
Inquiry Will End Tomorrow

Mystery still beclouds the death
Of Lieut.. Bruce Settle, naval aide
to President Hoover, who was
found unconscious on the floor
Of his office at the Navy Yard
yesterday afternoon and died q
few minutes later.
This was apparent today, as It
was announced that the naval
board of inquiry, which was con-
vened yesterday following the
officers death and continued its
deliberations and investigation Of
the case today. will be unable to
reach a decision in the matter
until some time tomorrow.
Death Cause Unknown 1
A peculiar factor in the case Is
that while the body Of the young
naval officer was taken to the
Naval Hospital yesterday for Q
post-mortem examination, sur.
geons have not yet determined the
cause Of death, and do not ex-
pect to reach a verdict until late
today or possibly tomorrow.
Belief was expressed in some
quarters that the officer came to
his death after a fall over the
bannister fro1 the mezzani1e to
the main floor of the building,
distance of about 10 feet.
Navy officers, however, are not

caused the death of Lieutenant
Settle, stating that "the cause Of
his death is still problematical."
Found by His Friend
Whatever the cause Of death,
however, it is practically certain
that there was q fall from the
balcony inside the school room.
where the lieutenant had his
office, as there were definite
marks Of such a fall, it was said.
Lieut.. James NJ. McTwiggan, q
close friend Of the dead ofHeer,
found the unconscious body on
the school room floor and called
for medical aid, but the naval
aide died without regaining con-
SciouSneSS.
A board Of inquiry was at once
convened, consisting Of Capt. p.
w. Foote and Lieut.. Comdrs.
L. B. Greene, jr., and L. N. Hart.
Graduated in 1921
Testimony of other officers and
enlisted men who knew some Of
the facts of the death was taken
by the board Of inquiry late yes
terday, and their testimony was
resumed today.
Lieutenant Settle was a mem
ber Of the Naval Academy class
of 1921. He was assigned to the
White House last September.
With Lieut.. Jerry Donovan he
resided in the Broadmoor apart
ment, 3061 Connecticut Ave. NV.
Lieutenant Donovan was absent
from the city on leave yesterday
He was notified of the death
and is expected to return to
Washington today. Both officers
are well known in Capital Off
cial and social circles.
Native Of Tennessee
Lieutenant Settle, a native Of
Gainesboro, Tenn, is survived
by his mother, Mrs. Mary Y.
Settle, and a brother. Everett
Settle, both of that town.
When the inquiry is completed
the body will be sent to Double
Springs, Tenn, for burial, in ac-
cordance with the wishes Of the

TO SPEAK HERE
AskOv Community Club is Sponsoring
South American Traveller i'm ID. B. S.
Hall November IL.

Residents of Askov and the sur
rounding territory will have an op-
portunity on Thursday, November IS
to hear a lecture and see motion pic
lures of trip through South America
given by Francis A. Flood, noted trav-
eler, writer, and lecturer. Mr.. Flood
is also travel editor of a group OF
farm papers, and it is under the spon,
sorship of The Farmer, and Farm
Stock and Home of ST. Paul, that the
present tour is being arranged in the
northwest. The lecture will be held
at the D. B. S. hall and will begin
promptly at SIS o'clock Admission
will be % cents for adults and IL
cents for children.
Many people will recall Mr.. Floods
tour of the northwest just a year ago
At that time he staged thirty lectures
throughout Minnesota as well as in
North and South Dakota, and every
where met with a most enthusiastic
reception. 1t is tribute to the pop
ularity of Mr.. Floods lectures that
many of his current engagements are
in communities where he appeared
last fall. Lantern slides have been
used in previous lectures, but this
year Mr.. Flood has added motion pic
lures to his program, which will un-
doubtedly increase greatly the inter
est in his talk, which will tell of his
experiences in South America during
the spring and summer of this year.
In the course of his trip he visited
many out-of-the-way places of that
continent as well as it's larger cities
and his current lecture should be re-
plete with thrilling incidents. Those
who have already heard Mr. Flood
know that his talks are both instruc-
tive and highly amusing and hold the
attention of the audiences at all times.
They are enjoyed equally well by all
members of the family, the children
as well as the grown-ups.
Before his recent trip to South
America Mr.. Flood made a trip around
the world, during which he drove a
motorcycle across Africa, the first
time the feat was ever accomplished.
Before that eventful journey he spent
a year travelling about Europe, and
he has also visited every state in the
Union, as we'll as Canada, Alaska, and
Mexico The written accounts of his
travels have been one of the most
popular features Of The Farmer and
