day confined his comment ON the local
situation with praise of Federal officials
in charge in the nearby State.
He said there was q good deputy adj
miniStrator in Maryland, and good
district attorney, and that Furthermore
there was cooperation between them in
the matter of prohibition enforcement.

saloons in Washington. I don't see
any one drunk on the Streets"
Applying his statement, however
about seeing no drunken men, Col
Woodcock said that during two recent
trips he had seen only one drunken
man, under the weather in a hotel.
But that doesn't mean anything much
the colonel adnsstted, as there might
have been a number of drunken mer
he had failed to see.
A report on the possible sources OF
supply of liquor is being prepared by
the Bureau of Prohibition, and will bt
made public soon, Director Woodcock
said. 1t will take up several estimates
of various commentators on liquor
manufacture in the United States today
and will then make an estimate of its
own.

me and know no attempt has beer
made by politicians to influence me,
he asserted.
st am confident that there is no poll
tics in the other branches of this bu-
reau."
Returning today from an inspection
trip through New England Woodcocl
declared himself well satisfied with hi
staff in that territory. He said he wa.
impressed with the efficiency of his meT

LA PLATA, Md, September 20.-Mrs.
Joseph Gamble, wife of the thrifty bee
keeper of La Plata, this morning indi-
Gated that it would be on the old "un-
written law" that she viii base her
defense on the charge of shooting Mrs.
Elsie Davis, %, of Washington early
yesterday morning when she found the
woman in an automobile with her nus
band.
Mrs. Gamble has offered her case to
State Senator Walter H. Mitchell of
La Plata and at present Senator Michel
is representing Mrs. Candles interests.
Holds Low Bond Favorable.
Senator Mitchell this morning doubt
ed if the seriousness of the shooting
would be reflected in any action by the
court, pointing out the low bond on
which Mrs. Gamble has been released,
namely $500, and the fact that Mrs.
Gamble repeatedly had warned the
Davis woman to keep away from her
husband, as factors in the ultimate
disposition of the present assault
charges against Mrs. Gamble.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Davis lay in the
shadow of death in Providence Hos
pital in Washington, the single bullet
fred by Mrs. Gamble having pierced
her forehead and come out the side
of her skull. Mrs. Davis has not re-
gained consciousness since she was
brought to Providence Hospital early
yesterday morning by her asssilant's
husband, and it is not expected at the
hospital that she will live through the
day.
All Serene Around Home.
All WAS serene about the Gamble
home with its orderly rows OF white
bee hives, its children playing about
the farmyard and its mistress in town
attending to the details of housewife.
Joseph Gamble didn't go home last
night, as most of the people about La
Plata expected him to. There have
been fights in the Gamble household
before, according to Deputy Sheriff R.
Y. Cooksey and the reconcuiatlonS
have been speedy At Mrs. CANDLES
home, it was stated, Gamble is well
come to come and live as he did before
Gamble is not in town today to say
whether he would avail himself of the
privilege.
Sheriff Watches Hospital
Eta Grim, wife of Raymond Grim,
the stepSon of Gamble, who rented the
little house near the Gamble home to
Mrs. Davis, said this morning that her
husband had gone into Washington to
be at the bedside Of Mrs. Davis.
Sheriff Robert L. Cooksey stands
ready to arrest Mrs Gamble whenever
word comes from Washington that Mrs.
Davis has died. He said he had been
keeping in touch with the hospital and
Washington police and Immediately will
take Mrs. Gamble in custody and hold
her without bond for the Charles
County grand jury.
