Of KISSES
RESENTED

A radio salesman who called
at the apartment Of Mrs. Dor.
othy D. Lloyd, in the Balfour,
1000 block of Sixteenth st. N. W.,
evidently had the principle of
persistence thoroughly instilled in
his mind and tried in rapid sue.
cession to sell Mrs. Lloyd on two
ideas.
The first was to buy a radio
and the second was to let him
kiss her, Mrs. Lloyd told police
early today.
When Mrs. Lloyd expressed
lack Of interest in a radio, the
salesman forced his way past her
and into the apartment. He tried
several times to kiss her.
The salesman, q well-dresSed
young man Of about as, left but
remarked over his shoulder that
he would be back Tuesday to
take up again the first idea, the
purchase Of q radio.
Detective Sergt. L. M. Wilson
has been assigned to investigate
Mrs. Lloyd's report.

L MONDAY
Robsion's Measures, Indorsed
BY Police, Make Keeping Of
Gaming House Here a Felony

Drastic anti-gambling legisla
tion. supplementary to all pres
ent laws applicable to an inhibi
tion against gaming" in the Capt.
tai, is to be reported to the Sen
ate on Monday by its District Of
Columbia Committee.
The Senate had adjourned for
the weekend. after its long
struggle over the tariff bill, but
as it's late session yesterday after
noon the District Committee re-
ported out favorably two bills
said to have the full endorse
lnent of the Metropolitan Police
Department, which claims to have
been cramped in it's attempt to
curb gambling here.
Offered by RObsiOn
The bills were introduced by
Senator Robsion (R0 Kentucky.
member of the Senate District
Committee. They went through
at the tail-end Of a session given
to various other bills.
The bills provide, In brief, that
the red light law of the District
Of Columbia" shall be broadened
to include gambling establish
ments, and also that there shall
be heavier penalties imposed
upon those who set up any sort
Of gambling device, including de-
vices commonly called A B C.,
faro bank, roulette, equality, keno,
thimbles, or little joker, or any
kind of gambling table or gam
bling device adapted, devised, and
designed for the purpose of play
ing any game Of chance or money
for property"
Gambling Made Felony
The RobSion bill reverts to the
Kenyon law, of a dozen or more
years ago. which put the "red
light district" out of business as
o common nuisance" Under the
RobSion bill gambling establish
mentS may be enjoined and
abated, after brief notice, in the
same way that former Senator
Kenyon of Iowa, now a Federal
judge and a member of PreSi-
dent Hoover's Law Enforcement
Commission, headed by George
w. Wickersham, drove out of the
Segregated district" in the Capt.
tai numerous habitueS Of Soc
called "red light houses"
Instead of making the main
. tenance of gambling establish
ment a misdemeanor one of the
bills reported by the Senate Dis
trict Committee would make it a
felony. However. doubt was ex-
pressed at the Capitol today that
any controversial and drastic
legislation affecting the DiStric5
cuold get through at the fag end
Of a session of Congress.

DC. JUDGE B.|LES
UP To HOOVER

An early relief Of the conges-
ton Of dockets in the major
courts Of the District of Columbia
was assured today when Congress
sent to President Hoover, for his
signature, two bills to increase
the membership of the District
Supreme Court and Court Of
Appeals. That the President will
sign the bills is not doubted,
since they had the. approval Of
the Department of Justice.
The additional appointments
may be made before the end Of
the present session of Congress.
although President Hoover is en-
powered to make recess" appoint
mentS.
Bills Pass Easily
Sitting late last evening the
House unanimously passed the
Capper- Gibson bills authorizing
the White House to appoint two
additional judges to the Supreme
Court Of the District and two to
the District Court of Appeals,
Both bills recently passed the
Senate. There was but brief
House debate.
Chairman Graham, of the House
Judiciary Committee. had little
trouble in putting through the
Senate bills for the four new
judges, but Representatives Stat
ford (R0 OF Wisconsin and Blan.
ton CD of Texas each made q
gesture Of dissent.
Stafford Objects
Representative Stafford told
Mr.. Graham he understood the
Circuit Court Of Appeals Of the
District had recently had its Ia.
bors lightened because certain
cases formerly within its jurisdic-
ton had been transferred to the
courts dealing with customs and
patents cases.
Representative Graham ex-
planned the appeals court had still
too much work for three judges,
and Mr.. Stafford gracefully with
drew all objections.
In the midst Of the short debate
Representative Simmons Of Ne
braSka, chairman of the District
subcommittee Of the House Ap-
preparations Committee. who re-
Gently criticised District judges
because he alleged they did not
stay on the bench "long enough
in any day" abandoned his critical
attitude and consented to passage
of the judgeship bills.

Small Foreign Population.

The island is 80 miles long by
about six and a half miles wide and
lies in the north Pacific Ocean. 1850
miles east OF Manila. Approximate
ly I 1000 persons live there, OF whom
about 400 are foreigners. This 400
is again divided, about In half. and
one-half represents the United States
naval force stationed there, SO that
actually the foreign population in
Guam, there OF its own voiition, is
pretty small. Pir!fully small, too,
when the attractions OF the place
are considered.
The climate Of Guam is delightful
and healthful and the scenery Is pic
turesque. There are mountains ana
rivers-five Of the latter, IN fact.
And the highest mountain. Jumul-
long Mangloc. Is 1874 feet high. The
only good harbor Is Apra, which
serves as the naval station and In q
port OF call between the United
States and the Philippines. IN other
days. before oil became ships fuel.
the island was highly priced as a
coaling station because there are
good-sized veins OF coal 10 be found
there.
Guam is ruled by an officer OF the
United States Navy. who is termed
the Naval Governor" There IS also
a United States Agricultural Depart
ment experiment station there which
concerns itself with the chief prod
ucts Of the place. which are rice,
cocoanuts. sugar. coffee and cacao.
The latter is known to fame in the
enlightened countries as one OF the
ingredients OF q drink called the
Alexander"
Game is plentiful. too. there being
deer. wild hog, duck. curlew. snipe
and pigeon in abundance. and several
varieties OF excellent fish abound in
the waters. The inhabitants are OF
the Chamorro stock. strongly mixed
with Philippine Tagals and Span
ards. Most OF the natives live IN
Agana. where they farm. Before the
American occupation they were
poems. but that system was abolished
In 1900.
Under American occupation also
public schools have been established
and the bettered conditions for rhe
natives has been the object
