BAN IS CONSIDERED
Senator Robson Would Also
Extend Paddock Law to
Cover Resorts.

Persons who frequent gambling es-
adjustments would be subject to a
penalty as well as those who operate
games, under bill to be introduced
by Senator Robson, Republican, OF
Kentucky, chairman of the police sub
committee of the Senate District COM
mlttee, following a conference he had
Yesterday afternoon with a group of
local officials.
The proposed legislation also would
extend the paddock law to cover gam
bling places, and provide heavier penal
ties for the offenSe of permitting gam
ing. Senator Robsion said he hoped to
get the bills in shape for consideration
at the present session.
The conference with Senator Robson
was attended by District Attorney Leo
A. Rover. Supt. of Police Henry G.

ing of the changes to be proposed in the
law.
The conference yesterday was con-
tinuation of discussions Senator Robson
had with police officials several weeks
ago as to the need for stronger teeth
in the laws relating to gambling in the
District. The conferences followed the
hearing Senator Robson conducted
earlier in the session regarding law en-
forcement conditions in the ne1ghbor-
hood of the Government Printing Of

Officials Refuse to Reveal
Identity of Suspects
or Evidence.
MILK WAGON DRIVERS
STORY INVOLVES ONE
No Charges Are Preferred as Pris.
oners Are Held in Upper Marl-
boro Sheriff's Office.

Five suspects in the series If in
cendiary fires that swept Seat Pleasant,
Md, were being questioned in the office
of Sheriff Charles S. Early at Upper
Marlboro this afternoon.
County Policeman Prince, who with
Detective Joseph Daugherty of the State
fire marshal's Office, has been investi-
eating the fires for more than a week,
said no charges had been preferred
against the men. He refused to reveal
the identity of the men in custody.
Both Sheriff Early and States At
torney Parron were absent from MARI
boro when the suspects were brought in,
and it is presumed they will be held
until these officials arrive. Those I'M
der arrest are said to be chiefly suS-
pected in the $150,000 incendiary fire
that swept the store and lumber yard
of F. L. Watkins two weeks ago. Police
have been told by milk wagon driver
that one of the suspects interfered with
his efforts to put out small blaze he
had discovered in house.
One of the persons indicated by the
statements of the milk wagon driver is
relative of an influential political
leader of Seat Pleasant district
The State fire marshalS Office as
signed a detective to the case on re-
quest of Sheriff Early and Seat Pleas
ant residents, who believe that two fires
in vacant houses, one just before the
other, shortly after the lumber yard
fire, also were incendiary.
The men in custody are being ques-
toned behind closed doors, and police
refuse to disclose the nature of the
evidence against them.

BUILDING RAISES
!. PARKING QUESTION
Internal Revenue Structure
Is Not in Present Re-
Stricted Zone.

No attention has yet been given by
the traffic directors office to any park
ing problems which might arise as a
result of the putting into service of the
new Internal Revenue Bureau Build
ing next month. The building, located
between b, C, Tenth and Twelfth
streets, is not in the now restricted
zone, and hundreds of cars are parked
around it all day. When the forces of
ing. undoubtedly this privilege must be
curtailed. But to what extent, nobody
has yet decided.
Assistant Traffic Director NJ o. Ed
ridge said today that the matter OF
parking downtown was being given
careful study in the survey being con-
Quoted by the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission and he
thought that nothing would be done
about the Internal Revenue Building
situation until some light had been cast
on the problem by the survey.
The building is the first of the new
Federal building program units in the
triangle bounded by the Mall, Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Fifteenth street to
go into service. 1t will be followed in
few months by the new Department
of Commerce Building, fronting on
Fourteenth and streets.
AS soon as a substantial number OF
the new buildings is in place, traffic
conditions in town will be radically
changed, with an enormous flow of
Government workers into this area
every morning and out of it every after
noon at about the same time.
Commissioner Herbert L. Crosby, who
has charge Of the Traffic Bureau. today
had no suggestion to offer. He said
that after sufficient of the Federal
buildings have been put into service
it may well be that traffic flow into
this section will be SO involved that
large numbers of persons will leave Their
cars at home and come to work in
street cars and buses.

THINKS STRANGER
SLEW MARY BAKER
Girl Friend Reveals Victim
Invited Her for Ride on
Day of Tragedy.

The police theory that Mary Bakers
slayer was stranger or a casual &C
quaintance, who surprised her as she
unlocked her parked automobile at Sew
enteenth and B streets, was strength
ened last night with the statement OF a
young woman that the slain girl did
not anticipate meeting man on the
afternoon before the murder.
The statement was made in a letter
to the slain girls father, Rev. Thomas
P. Baker, at Oak Grove. Va, from Miss
Ora A. Smith, STA Nineteenth street. a
friend of Miss Baker.
Miss Smith stated in her letter that
Miss Baker invited her to ride home
the afternoon before the Staying. She
said the Navy clerk asked her to walk
to Seventeenth and B streets with her
and that she would be taken home from
there. Miss Smith said she refused, ex-
planning that she could walk home in
less time than it would take to walk
10 the parked car.
Miss Smiths letter stated that she
met Miss Baker and Miss Inez Eyre in
front of Epiphany Church about $50
o'clock on April IL. 1t was there she
said that Miss Baker invited her to
ride home.
The writer explained her hardness
with the information by stating she did
not think it was sufficiently important
to make public.
william S. Shelby, chief of detectives,
said today that he is still awaiting n
complete report on the whereabout7
around the time of the, Staying, of
Frank McDonough of New York City,
the Atlanta. Ga, suicide.
Reports on the mans activities near
the time of the Staying of the Navy
Department clerk will be sent to police
headquarters from New York and At
lanta.
Shelby said today that no pictures
of McDonough were taken at Atlanta
but an effort is being made to obtain
some from New York City. If the
effort is successful they will be shown to
Mr.. and Mrs Hugh Wood and Francis
Rice to determine If the man they saw
beating a woman at Seventeenth and
B streets on April IL resembles the
suicide.
Inspector Shelby merely smiled when
questioned as to the World War veteran
who disappeared after he was reported
to have said he knew Miss Baker.

ATTORNEY FILES ANSWER
TO CONTEMPT CHARGES
Leo X. Drury Offers Apologies to
Court for Alleged Remark
About Jury.

Leo K Drury, local attorney, today,
through Attorney Morgan H. Beach,
filed an answer to the contempt rule
recently issued against him, charging
him with using derogatory statement
about jury which had returned an
adverse verdict in case in which he
had been a witness.
Drury stated he had no recollection
of making the remark accredited to
him, and declares he had no intention
to show disrespect to the court nor to
the jury, and if the remark was made
it was due to the surprise caused by
the verdict He asks that his apollo
gieS be accepted.
Assistant United States Attorney Neil
Burkinshaw, who had obtained the rule
against the young lawyer, did not argue
the matter, but agreed to submit 1t to
the court Justice Bailey took the
matter under advisement.

HOOVER DISCUSSES
CUT AT NAVY YARD

May Aid in Preventing
More Reductions.

President Hoover, if possible, will
lend his power to prevent further re-
auctions in the ranks of employees of
United States arsenals and navy yards,
according to delegation representing
the American Federation of Labor, who
discussed the subject with him today.

Coefield, vice president of the American
Federation of Labor and president of
the Plumbers International Union;
Arthur O. Wharton, vice president of
the American Federation of Labor and
president of the Machinists' Interna-
tional Union, and John p. Frey, secre-
tary and treasurer of the Metal Trades

During the conversation, the delega-
ton suggested to the President that the
situation would be greatly relieved by
putting into operation the moderniZa-
tion and reconditioning program under
the terms of the naval treaty.
This program it was stated, soon
would absorb much of the unemploy-
ment. The President was told that the
arsenal and navy yard workers are
greatly alarmed by the layoffs and the
anticipated layoffs. They said after
ward that the President seemed sympa-
thetic and interested and made it plain
that he was anxious to improve condi-
tionS, If possible.

HANSEN MESSAGE
BROUGHT TO LIGHT
Note Is in Possession of
ReEcrch Worker in Navy
Department.

The recent death of Fridtjof Nansen
at Oslo has brought to light cherished
hlubber-stained message that Nansen
left behind in Franz Joseph Land. 1t
is the property of Evelyn Briggs Bald
win, who Is now engaged in special re-
search work in the World War historical
section of the Navy Department, who
found the message when he was on his
polar peregrinations.
In the note Nansen told of the drift
of his ship, the Fran, toward the North
Pole in the pack ice.
Nansen and Lieut.. Johansen had left
the Fran in an effort to reach the Pole
with dog teams. They were forced to
stop at Sc degrees IA minutes, then the
farthest north any expedition had pen
etrated, and started back toward Spitz-
bergen, building the hut from drift
wood and skins when the long Arctic
night began.
Lived on Walrus Meat.
Nansen said in the note he believed
he was in Gillis Land, that he and his
companions had been living on walrus
and polar bear meat and that they
were leaving for SpitZbergen by canoe.
When they reached the south coast OF
Franz Joseph Land, they met the
Frederick jackson British expedition,
financed by Lord Northcliffe, and were
returned to civilization.
Baldwin said when hansen returned
numerous persons expressed doubt that
the Norwegian had gotten as near the
Pole as he had said. The American de-
Tended Nansen.
In 1897 and 1898 Baldwin visited
Nansen's home near Oslo, and when
the American went on his expedition In
1902 he found the winter lair" and the
note.
Baldwin Translates Note.
The Nansen message, dated May 19,
1896, and found by Mr. Baldwin In May,
1902, has been translated by the Amer
lean explorer, as follows:
I'VE were beset in the ice north of
Kotelnoi at about 10 degrees 40 min
utes north latitude % September, 1893.
Drifted the following year northwest
erly. Johansen and I left the Fran
14th of March, 1895, at about "a de-
gress 4 minutes north latitude, l03 de-
grees east longitude, to attempt more
northerly latitude.
THE command of the remaining ex-
petition was given over to Sverbrup.
Found no land farther North. April,
1895. we probably reached SO degrees
IA minutes north latitude and about 80
degrees east longitude. The ice was
impossible. Set our course Tor Cape
Fligely, but our chronometer stopped
and we knew not our longitude and ar
rived 6 August, 1895, at four broad ice
covered islands on the north side, at
about 81 degrees 80 minutes north lati-
tude, extending perhaps about 2 degrees
easterly. Twenty-six August, 1895,
found it safe to Winter over. Lived on
bear meat. Go today Southwesterly
along the land to seek a route to
Spitzbergen the nearest way. We sup
pose We are supposed to be on GILES
Land.
(Signed> "FRIDJOF NANSEN."
"Nansen really was the father of
scientific polar expeditions" Baldwin
said. In the hansen expedition when
the Fran drifted in polar ice for three
years, Baldwin recalled. the late Roald
Amundsen of the outstanding explorers
was an engineer on the ship.
