LOAN MEASURE
SERGT. FLEISHMAN

Need of a small loans law under
which pawnbrokers could operate
in the District today was sug-
gested by Corporation Counsel
w. w. Bride in a report to the
District Commissioners.
Reporting on the bill providing
for the incorporation of credit
unions here, now pending in Con-
gress, Mr.. Bride held chat while
these would provide needed ac-
commodation to residents of
meager means there is also a
need for small loans law.
The object Of the credit union,
Bride explained is to encourage
thrift more effectively than the
ordinary savings agencies; to m
crease the opportunities for legiti-
mate borrowing by persons who
can offer as security little more
than good character, and to help
stamp out the loan shark evil.

The Merchants and Manufac-

warning to housewives to be on
their guard against se-to-house
peddlers, canvassers and operators
of various merchandising schemes
who are taking advantage Of the
early Christmas shopping prac-
tices in the District of Columbia.
Secretary Edward D. Shaw said:
Hundreds Of these operators
use the Christmas season as an
excuse to solicit homes for the
sale of all kinds Of merchan-
disc. In many cases the
schemes are fraudulent and the
housewife will lose whatever
investment she has made.
Last year, at this season,

URGED
IN ANNUAL
MESSAGE
Sen. HoWeIps Bill to CIothe
District Policemen With
Prohibition Agent Powers

Speedy action on a local dry
law for the District is asked Of
Congress by President Hoover in
his annual message read in the
Senate and House today.
In his message the President
reiterates his statement made
last year in urging enactment Of
such a measure and declares that
it is desirable that the bill be
enacted at the current session.
Touches d. c. Generally
The law enforcement bin Is
the only measure for the District
upon which the President asks
for action at the short session.
In his message he does not even
discuss the Government building
program as it affects Washington,
except as it is a part of the gen.
eral program for Federal con-
Struction as means Of alleviat-
ing unemployment.
Previously President Hoover has
devoted several paragraphs Of
messages to plans for the mont
mental structures being erected
here.
Mention of the bone dry law
for the District comes in the sec
ton of the message devoted to
specific legislation which the
President wishes enacted.
Mere Mention of It
After mentioning various bills
which are pending in Congress,
the President speaks Of claw en-
forcement in the District Of Co
lumbia," and asserts:
cit Is desirable that these
measures should be completed"
President Hoover does not men,
ton specifically the bill introduced
last January by Senator Howell,
Of Nebraska, but this is the local
enforcement bill which is pend
ing, and it was introduced in the
last session by the NebraSkan in
response to the demand in Presi-
dent Hoover's last message.
Ran Into Protest
Senator Howell's bill ran into a
storm of protest, and even en-
countered opposition from Attor-
ney General Mitchell, who held
that certain Of its provisions were
too harsh.
The Nebraskan, however, re-
fused to retreat from his stand,
and declined to accept certain
amendments which the Attorney
General suggested.
Under the terms of the bill all
policemen of the District would be
clothed with the powers of prohi-
bition agents. This section has
been generally accepted.
The section which has met
with much protest is that which
would liberalize the conditions un.
der which search warrant might
be obtained.
Warrant Rights
Under it officers could obtain
warrant If they had reason to

livered to or was being delivered
from a private dwelling.
This section goes much farther
than does the Volstead law, which
provides that a search warrant
may be obtained only on evidence
of a sale.
Attorney General Mitchell re.
wrote Senator Howell's draft of
the bill to eliminate this pro.
vision, but when he sent his draft
to Howell, the latter reinserted
the provision and then intro.
duced the bill.
Hearings on the measure were
held by the Senate District Com.
n1ittee, opposition to the bill
being led by wet forces here. De.
spite this opposition the bill was
favorably reported by the com
mittee and is now on the Senate
calendar.

PREFER prison,
COMMUNISTS
DECLARE
Three Women and Three Men
Guilty; One Case Dropped;
Federal Guard Is Armed

Five of the six Communists
who took part in yesterdays
demonstration at the. Capitol were
fined today in Police Court for
disorderly conduct before Judge
Isaac r. Hit.
Three of the defendants were
women, all of whom were fined
$40 each on the charges, while
$25 was levied against one man
and $40 against two other men.
One Of the cases was dismissed
because of lack of jurisdiction on
the grounds that the offenses
was committed on Federal prop
erty.
Cursed President
John Zilic, Al, Russian black
smith of McKeesport, Pa, was
fined $25 on testimony of Police
man p. S. O'Brien, of the Third
precinct, who told the court that
Zilic had damned" the Presi-
dent of the United States and
used other vile epithets.
Testimony showed that Rose
Stein, 38, a Russian dlessmaker
of New York city, told policemen
to "get the hell away from me-"
Chrles e. Ford, attorney for the
defendants, told the court the
woman was the wife of an ex-
soldier and represented "the best
principles of AmericaniSm.
She was fined $40, however. or
10 days in Jail.
Helen Roberts, II, presSer Of
Baltimore, and Rose Markle, "a, a
Russian from New York city,
were fined $40 each. Policemen
testified that the women were
yelling in a boisterous manner
and appealing to their comrades
to take men under arrest from
the officers.
Turk Also Fined
Pandelis Kirldin, 35, a. Turk
from Detroit, was also fined SO
when police testified that he was
mumbling in broken English and
yelling for his comrades to join
him.
All of the defendants, their
attorneys said, will voluntarily
spend the sentence in jail rather
than pay fines, asserting that
they believe they did no wrong.
The one exception will probably
be in the case of zilic whose
broken nose needs medical atten-
tion.
The courtroom was filled to
capacity, but only a few of the
defendants friends were present.
It was said practically all of
them left Washington last night.
Additional Guards
While the majority of the
Communists left the city last
night for their homes, many of
} them with broken heads and
bruises as marks of the fray, ad-
ditional armed guards patroled
the Capitol and White House.
The guards have been armed
with shotguns and are ready to
meet any further attack from
the Reds.
While the 500 or more radicals
were battling police and spec
tators outside the Capitol two
committees managed to slip into
the building unnoticed and left
demands at the office Of Speaker
of the House JIongworth.
These demands call for the
lowering of all bars on immigra-

"How long have you been employed

"They got along nicely, I sup

Eyes, sir-very nicely, sir-mostly."
Holcomb launched the next ques-
ton suddenly, forcefully.
what did you do with the un-
delivered message?" he surprised.
Quite unconsciously, the old man
proceeded to reveal thing which he
obviously had not intended to, for
no sooner than did his hand rise to
his breast pocket than did his wrin-

eyes suddenly widened; his lips part

stepped closer and subjected him to

backed out in great haste.
Then with Wade peering over his
shoulder, Holcomb unfolded the
single sheet of paper in his hand and
began to read. They glanced at each
other and then read the few scrawled
words again.

Detective Holcomb finally crumpled
the sheet of paper into ball and
showed it into his pocket. ut would
seem," he remarked, that the Mitch
ellis had had some misunderstanding,
eh?"
Wade was plainly confused. "But
Holcomb," he whispered, surely
you're not looking for clue?-not
in case of sllicide?"
Suicide, your eye!" Holcomb whis-
pered back. "Its murder, pure and
simple-and if you ask me, it's going
to be large order!"
He led Wade over to the desk and
carefully picked up the gun again.
Smell it," he suggested. Wade took
several whiffs and his eyes opened
wide.
"Cordite!" he exclaimed; there's
no odor of cordite!"
Right. That's not the gun that
killed Mitchell, Wade. 1t hasn't been
fired in a month, if then. You can
detect the odor of cordite on a gun
as much as ten hours after it has
been fired. 1t was planted, see!"
Holy God!"
1.-THE shell was planted, too, Wade.

At that moment Jennings entered
the room again, closely followed
crowded in fact-by the doctor, who,
at first sight of the body on the
floor, brushed past the neSltatlng
butler in amazement, dropping his
medicine bag to the floor.
Good old MITCHELL" he exclaimed,
dropping hurriedly to his knees by
the body. Good old Mitchell!-gra-
cious!"
And then he set doggedly about
making thorough examination
the victims eyelids, pulse, heart, the
ugly little hole at his left temple -.
How long ago do you think it hap
pened, Doctor?" Holcomb inquired af-
ter a few minutes.
Five or six hours, at least" He
nodded his grey head bitterly.

five and six" Holcomb reflected.
