HUSBAND VISITS
WOUNDED WOMAN
Mrs. Elsie Davis Still Uncon-
sCious, With Small Hope
for Recovery.

Released temporarily from the Vir-
ginia convict road camp where he is
serving time on charge of a liquor law
violation, Joseph Davis, husband of Mrs.
Elsie Davis, %, was a visitor last night
at Providence Hospital, where his wife
is fighting death from a bullet fired
into her head by Mrs. Lulu May Gamble
of La Plata, Md, last Friday morning.
A hole torn through her head, Mrs
Davis has not regained consciousness
since she was shot, and though she has
made a game fight for her life, doctors
at Providence do not believe she can
recover.
Davis stayed at his wife's bedside far
into last night and is expected to re-
main within call of his wife should she
regain consciousness or take turn for
the worse. He was brought to Wash
ington yesterday by Agent w. G. Burns
of the Department of Justice, after
friends of Mrs. Davis had interceded
with Virginia authorities to allow him
to come here and see his wife. Burns
went to Petersburg, Va, with the neces-
sary papers for Davis removal to Wash
ington, and will return Davis to the
road camp near the Virginia city when
Mrs. Davis condition warrants his de-
parture.
Mrs. Davis was shot in the forehead,
the bullet tearing out a portion of her
skull as 1t emerged on the right side
of her head. The bullet was fired by
Mrs. Gamble when she found her hus-
band in an automobile at o'clock in
the morning with Mrs. Davis.
Mrs. Gamble Is under $500 bond in
Charles County, Md, on an assault
charge, while the husband is under $500
bond on charge of wife-beating.

ASKS HEARING DATE
ON SMITH Co. PLEAS
Belated Petition Attacks Va
Iidity of Indictments
Against Officials.

Justice Wendell p. Stafford of the
District Supreme Court was asked today
to set a date for hearing of argument
on the pending pleas in abatement in
the F. H. Smith Co. case, which the De-
partment of Justice announced Satur-
day, would go to trial October 8.
The belated plea, fled Friday, attacks
the validity of the indictment, charging
G. Bryan Pitts, Samuel j. Henry, G. FL
bert Anadale and John H. Edwards, IT.,
with a conspiracy to embezzle Smith
Co. funds and destroy discriminating
records, on the ground that Nugent
Dodds, special assistant to the Attor-
ney General, was in the grand jury
room without right while evidence was
being presented.
Neil Burkinshaw, assistant United
States attorney, said he would attack
the validity of the plea on the ground
that 1t was filed unseasonably and with
out consent of the court. Burkinshaw
said he expects to have date set for
hearing argument this week. The plea
in abatement alleges that during the
proceedings before the grand Jury
against Pitts, Mr.. Dodds entered the
grand jury room without having filed
with the clerk of the court his commits
sion from the Attorney General and
the oath thereto, specifying by name
the case or cases to which his employ
ment as special assistant relates.
1t was also alleged that Henry w
Syfrig, another special assistant, was
permitted in the grand jury room to
take Stenographic notes without first
filing his commission and oath with the
clerk.

REPORTED IMPROVED

first reported, Thomas d. Schall, Jr.,
the 20-year -old son Of the Senator
from Minnesota, and Miss Alice Kreps,

Both were hurt late Saturday after
noon when their light car crashed

avenue. They were returning to Wash
ington from Baltimore, with the youth
at the wheel.
Passing motorists removed the in
jured young man and the girl from the
wreckage and took them to the hos
pital, where it was first thought both
suffered from conclusions OF the brain
and possible internal injuries.
Diagnosis removed these fears, how
ever, and this morning it was said that
Schall suffered fractured right leg
and right arm, and Miss Kreps three
broken ribs and fractured bone in the
right ankle.
Both were located on the same floor
at the hospital and attending nurses
said the condition of each was "as good
as could be expected" Mrs. Schall was

absent from the city. Miss Kreps'
parents visited her yesterday.

ASKS LUNCH ROOM
RECONSIDERATION
Secretary of Commerce En-

Place for Census Workers.

Secretary of Commerce Lamont has
asked Controller General McCarl for
reconsideration of his ruling which
recently held that Government funds
already appropriated for the Census
Bureau could not be used to construct
lunch room for bureau employees.
McCarl had decided that law did
not permit appropriations for supplies
and contingent expenses of the bureau
to be used for construction of such a
building.
Situation Is Acute.
The situation, it was explained by
Secretary Lamont in his second request
to McCarl, has become one of sheer
necessity, where something will have to
be done in some way to provide lunch
facilities for thousands of census work.
ers, who now do not have adequate
facilities.
Secretary Lamont referred to the
temporary nature of the buildings in
which the census workers are now
housed, and to the temporary nature
of the lunch room which it is proposed
to build for them. The lunch room
structed out of secondhand building
materials, at a reasonable price.
Work May BE Held UP.
Census officials feel that the census
work cannot proceed further under
present conditions. Many are now eat

REASONS FOR RASKOB
ISSUE ARE OUTLINED
Representative Taylor Tells Why
Republicans Will Use Chairman
as Point of Contention.

The Republican view of why John j.
RaSkob lis an issue in the campaign"
was explained in a statement today by
Representative j. VIII Taylor of Ten
neSSee, issued through the Republican
National Committee.
Published reports credit the Demo-
cratic high command with the intention
of submitting QUESTIONABLE to leaders
OF the Republican party as to why John
j. Raskob is an issue in this campaign, -
said Mr.. Taylor. THAT is a ques-
tionnaire which it is extremely simple
to answer.
81. Mr.. Raskob became an issue in
the Democratic party when at the
Houston convention he was able to foist
his will on the Democrats of the coun-
try In spite of the two-thirds rule which
existed in the convention.
Y. This issue became intensified in
the Democratic party when it was
learned that Mr.. RaSkob had been a
former Republican and that his money
had been going to the support of Re-
publican candidates in some districts.
3. MIR. RaSkob became an issue be-
fore the American people when Mr..
Frank r. Kent a nationally known
Democratic journalist, recently disclosed
that Mr.. Raskob had been maintaining,
at his own personal expense, party
P..NPoSo1a01 Uu1Cdu WAtAi1u tAlc SIlduoW
of the White House which, for more
than year, has been issuing state
ments Siandering and maligning the
President Of the United States.
Incidentally, it would be interesting
to obtain from the Democratic high
command an explanation of why this
command widely advertised that Mr..
Raskob would speak on the radio in one
of the Democratic partys Nationwide
hook-ups on the night of September Is
and then, suddenly and mysteriously,
substituted Representative Joseph W.
Byrns of Tennessee. Was 1t that Mr.
Raskob has become too much of an
issue in this campaign"
