$4,000 VIOLIN
HELD STOLEN
International Newsreei Photo

Charged with the theft Of a
$4,000 violin, Sol Feinman, IS,
of Philadelphia, who claimed to
be a representative Of the First
National School of Violin was
held for the Grand Jury today on
a $1,000 bond by Judge Robert E.
Mattingly. .
The old instrument was made
by Lalo in 1905 in Italy and has
been appraised at 100000 by the
Smithsonian Institution, despite
the fact that it. was valued only
500 on the warrant charging
the larceny.
The instrument is said to be
the property Of Mrs. Mary Pistole
and her sister, Gladys Harrison,
100 block of Seventh st. S. E.
Miss Harrison testified that Fein-
man had come to her home in
April in an attempt to get their
brother to attend his school.
During the conversation the old
violin was mentioned and exhib-
tied.
Feinman offered to take the
instrument to a friend and have
it repaired, she said: He left the
house with the violin and failed
to return Months OF waiting
failed to bring the instrument
back and the family eventually
took recourse in a warrant for
his arrest.
A brother of Feinman recently
took Miss Harrison to the home
of a violin maker on Fifth
Street, where the instrument was
found. The man paid the violin
maker SO and took the violin,
which he gave to the girl. The
arrest of Feinman followed later
in Philadelphia.
The defense claims Feinman
had taken the violin to the Fifth
Street address to get it repaired.
He was under the impression
that a companion was to return
the instrument to the family.

SCANT CLUES
TO SLAYER
FOUND BY
POLICE
Gun, Button, Finger-Prints
Found; Neighbors Did Not
Hear Any Shots, Report

With the death of Louis Bush,
so, president Of the Gray Line
Sightseeing Tours, of the $500
block Fulton st. N. W., this
morning at $3.50 o'clock in
Emergency Hospital, police were
confronted with a murder. which
is as battling as any in the local
annals of crime.
Bush was twice wounded in an
encounter with an unidentified
assailant on Monday night in
the rear Of his home.
He was attacked as he emerged
from his garage after putting
up his car for the night, beaten
over the head with a revolver by
his assailant ard shot as he lay
on the ground. One Of the
bullets penetrated his stomach,
scraped the liver and emerged
through the back.
Finger Prints Found
A search Of the alley in which
the shooting occurred resulted in
the finding of four 80 caliber eX-
ploded shells and a button, which
apparently came off the coat Of
the murderer. Members Of Lieut..
Edward j.. Kelly's homicide squad
also found a bunch of keys near
Gray'S automobile and discovered
finger prints on the car
Upon these findings, the detec-
tiveS hope to AcTRck" the case.
Bush gave a description Of mis-
assai1ant from his cot in the hos
pital Monday night.
The case is the first upon
which Edwin r. Donaldson, newly
appointed nnicroana1yist of. the
Health Department, has been
called upon to assist police. The
cartridge shells, button and keys
were turned over to Donaldson
yesterday for examination.
Hunt For Enemies
Police have launched an inves-
tigation to determine whether
the bus line head had any
enemies who may have been
prompted to shooting him.
Although four shots we're fired
during Bush's scuffle with his
assailant, police were unable to
find anyone in the neighborhood
who heard the shooting.
There were several who told Of
hearing noises, but believed it
automobile back-fire.
After being shot, Bush stag
gered to his home, summoned aid
and was taken to the hospital.
There an operation was per-
formed. Last night Bush's con-
dition was so weakened that
blood transfusionS were resorted
to in an effort to save his life.

Committee Investigation Is
Result of Rumor Democrat
Chief Put Up Bayard Money

The activities, if any, of John
j. Raskob, Democratic National
Chairman, toward aiding wet
Democrats to gain senatorial
nominations will be probed by
the Senate Campaign Fund Conn
mittee, it was learned today, as
a sidelight to an inquiry into
Delaware's Democratic senatorial
contest.

charges that heavy expenditures
were made in behalf Of former
Senator Thomas F. Bayard. 3

Democratic State convention
there. Bayard won the nolnina-
tion over Josiah Marvel, dry ma
tional committeeman, even though
the latter's friends entered the
convention confident Of victory.
Attended Convention
Raskob was reported to have at.
tended the convention and to
have aided Bayard in his race
for the nomination. There would
be nothing improper about this
display of political activity, II 1t
did occur. but it would be inter-
esting news to the dry South
and dry Democrats elsewhere, IL
their national chairman actually
aided, abetted and campaigned
for a wet against a dry.
The inquiry may be held be-
fore election day, although q de-
cision viii not be reached until
later. IF delayed because Of
pressure of other inquiries, the
Delaware probe will be conducted
after the November returns.
Hearings Now
Thus far, the committee has
announced it will conduct pre-
election inquiries only in
Nebraska, Massachusetts,, Ten
nesSee and possibly North Caro-
lima. All other inquiries, inyolv-
ing Senatorial contests in West
Virginia, Minnesota, New jersey
and Colorado, and the unconl-
pleted Investigations in PennSyl-
vania and Illinois, will be post
poned until after the elections.
Whenever it is held, the Della
ware inquiry is certain to attract
the interest of politicians every.
where. For one thing, Marvel
entered the contest with the sup
port of the Anti-Saloon League,

to insure his nomination.

sity, Is another entrant, and Phil Per-
kins, former British amateur champion,
is another who will play.
Only few weeks ago Ed Dudley
played the Shawnee in Sc strokes to set
new course record. The layout now
is 200 yards longer than it was a year
ago, and the full length will be used in
the coming tourney.
Bannockburn golfers tomorrow and

testant is to be awarded 3 points for

Speaking of the better ways to start
out on round of golf, get an earful
of the way Dorie Gruver started his at
Washington yesterday. He holed 20
footer for birdie 8 at the first hole,
sank 15-footer for a birdie 2 at the
second, got par 4 at the third, and
| then crashed out a long iron second
| to reach the green in 2 at the par
| fourth to secure his third birdie in
four holes. But then Gruver faded
away and he finished the nine with
a buzzard and another buzzard to

after standing on the seventh tee with
par for a 80.
He scored "a for the round, pick
ing UP another birdie on the long If

of four public links golfers
from the torrid Capital to the
cooler land of Florida, where
they hope to pick up something in the
way of title or two in Jacksonville,
will start late next week via the heated
highway.
Ted Burrows, Bob Burton, Louis
Fuchs and Sam Parks, members of the
Washington public links team which
will play in the Harding Cup event at
Jacksonville during the first week of
August and then will play for the ma
tional title, plan to leave Washington
next Thursday or Friday by automo-
bile and figure to make the 1000
mile trip in two days.
Close behind them will come James
D. Preston, boss of the Senate press
gallery and representative of the Public
Links Committee of the United States
Golf Association, who is to leave WASH
ington Saturday, to meet Thomas j..
Mcmahon, executive secretary of the
United States Golf Association, en-
route.
The money to send the Washington
team to Jacksonville was raised by the
rattle of set of matched golf clubs
at East Potomac Park.
There seems to be more of an at
titude of hope and prediction that
success may follow in the wake of the
teams efforts than any year since those
glorious teams of 1924 and 1925, when
George Voigt, AL Houghton and Earl
McAleer were representing the Capital
SO well in the national public links
title chase.
Not that any of them won the classic,
but they did manage to win the team
trophy, and two of them went to the
semi-final IN the national, while an
other won the qualifying round. Not
since 1925 has a Washington repre-
sentative gone anywhere.
The splendid score of Ted Burrows
In the qualifying tests here few weeks
ago and the almost equally brilliant
showing Of young Fuchs have convinced
observers of public links golf that the
Capital team has chance not only to
bring home the Harding Trophy, but
that one of them may win the national.
Jim Preston will go to Jacksonville
With the germ OF an idea buZZing
around in his mind. This is that to
make Washington truly the center of
the Nation in the Washington bicen-
tennial year-1932-it would be proper
and fitting that the national public
links championship be held here Jim
doesn't say he intends to ask for the
championship, Out ne mClmaIeS LnaJ
he may. The national public title event
was last held here in 1923, two years
after its Inauguration, and the Wash
ipgton team won the Harding Trophy.
lapse of nine years, thinks, Jim, is
enough, and now he thinks 1t may be
Washington's time to stage the tourney
again. Jim will go to Jacksonville with
the hope that he may secure a partial
promise to hold the tourney here in
1882, and after he gets that promise he
plans to enlist all the golf agencies here
to put the tourney over.

despise more or less-more before the

Sandlot batsmen are still inclined to

better than the derisive noniker STUCK

sandlot pitchers who possess more stuff
on the ball than Ross, there are 1aI
less than Is pitchers who stand ahead
of the Saks star in effectiveness.
Saks and Sanford Ross are enjoying
banner year this season. the Clotnlers
winning II out of II games and Ross
doing most of the pitching.
Ross is one of the few sandlot hurl-
ers who possesses q knack OF putting
the ball where batters don't care for
1t. His curve comes in handy, OF
course, but his best bet Is his control.
Despite the fact that he wears eye
glasses, the Saks ace Is perhaps the
best pitcher on the Sandlots hereabouts
when 1t comes to working the corners.
Ross first came into the limelight
while pitching for Central last year.
In the final game Of the high school
series he pitched no-hit. no-run game
