 Franklin Ford, preside ent of the society, announced he had arranged for the purchase of the second link in the radio chain-station WOAX at Trenton, N. J. The Defenders of Truth already operate station WHAP in New York city, over which they broadcast five programs . week
 Prominent Catholics who were asked to comment on Ford's plan referred all inquiries to radio sta tion .WLWL maintained by the Paulist league. a Catholic organiza- ton. There it was said the station had no intention "of entering into any controversy with Mir. Ford"
 T cannot say how rapidly I will add to the chain" Ford declared Tt depends entirely upon how much money we receive. Our in- come depends entirely upon volun- tary contributions. l will say. how ever. that when we do add other stations they probably will be in cities like Boston, Philadelphia anu Pittsburgh

SEWER VALUATION
CUT TO BE STUDIED
Commissioners to Consider Opera
tive Builders Plea
Tomorrow.

The Board Of District Commissioners
viii consider tomorrow the request of
the Operative Builders Association for
a reduction In the assessment on sewer
mains from So to $1.60 front foot.
Col. William B. Ladue, Engineer Com
missioner, to whom the organization
submitted its plea, said he saw the
equity in the arguments advanced for
q lower assessment and would discuss
them with his two colleagues.
The association urged the reduction
on the ground that present rates consti-
tute q hardship on new home owners,
because Of the development Of detached
and semi detached houses, which require
larger lots than row houses. Col. Ladue
also was told that It was the intent Of
Congress in the sewer assessment act Of
1904 to make abutting property owners
pay only one-half of the cost of sewer
mains, whereas q recent report Of j. B.
Gordon, sanitary engineer Of the Dis
trtct, showed that the 50 assessment Is
returning about 93.5 per cent Of the
cost Of the mains.
The $1.60 assessment proposed by the
association, 1t was said; would return
to the District so per cent of the cost
Of the mains.

THIEVES ENTER STORE
BY WAY OF COAL CHUTE
Police Uncertain Whether Robbers
Were Successful in Breaking
Safe

Smashing the lock on a cellar door
and climbing down a steep coal chute
to gain entrance to the Big Shoe Shop,
at 3131 M street, burglars last night at
tempted to break into the safe. Police
investigating the case have not deter
mined whether the safe has been
robbed, forbidding any one TO touch the
strong box until f1ngerprint experts had
examined 1t.
The management of the establish
ment stated that receipts from yester-
days sales, amounting to more than
500, had been placed in the safe last
night when the store was closed.
The robbery or attempted ROBBERY
was not discovered until shortly before
10 O'Clock this morning when Sam Birk,
a clerk, who lives, at 94S l. street,
noticed that a lock on a door leading
from the rear Of the store into the
cellar had been forced. A subsequent
search of the premises revealed that
the burglars had broken the lock on the
cellar door In the rear yard and climbed
down the coal chute to get into the
store.
The burglars pried the dial on the
safe. The safe door was closed When
police arrived on the scene and Detec-
tive Sergts John H. Fowler and John
Flaherty, members Of the homicide
squad, who were assigned to the case
left instructions for no one to touch
the safe until finger print experts
arrived to photograph it.
The tools which the thieves used to
smash the dial could not be found. No
stock Of the store had been disturbed.

Holding the public press lacked SYM
pathy with the prohibition laws, Sena-
tor Jones Of Washington, q Republican
dry leader and author Of the Jones

pendium Of opinions Of citizens In the
United States and Canada which he
called 1.-The Voice of the Multitude"
Jones asserted that "the last and
greatest factor" in enforcement dimcul-
ties was the attitude of many news
papers, which, so it seems, publish
everything which may be unfavorably
construed
Charging that this apparent lack Of
sympathy" was causing 1.-The encour-
agement of crime" Jones said that "the
general public is no longer dependent
upon newspapers for correct inforna-
ton, as there are now many other
sources available" adding:
THE newspapers are to a great ex-
tent considered to be expressive Of the
ideas of ordinary people, though
whether or not the newspapers are the
ideas of the American people at this
period of history of our country is
problematical."
The statement quoted many express

had received in response to a radio adj

Improvement SEEN
IN SMOKE LAW HERE
Only Half Dozen Violations Re-
ported in Last Two Weeks,
Sanitary Inspector Says.

Only half O dozen cases involving
violations of the District anti-Smoke
laws have been reported in the last two
weeks as compared with 43 which were
recorded the week before. according to
figures compiled today by Chief SAM
tary Inspector j. Francis Butts.
Strict enforcement Of the regulations,
with sitter collateral demanded of per-
sons charged with violations are the
reasons for the fewer number of cases.
Conditions as regards smoke nui-
sances are distinctly better" in the
opinion of DR.. william Fowler, Dis
trict health oficer.
Most offenders forfeited $50 collateral
rather than stand trial. In the past
it has been customary for police cap
tains to accept $40 as collateral for
an offense. Cases have dropped of
steadily since the higher collateral has
been demanded.

THIRD Of FAMILY
COMMITS SUICIDE
/. {. GoebeI Follows Father
and Brother by Hanging
in Barn Loft.

Some carefully hidden motive, per-
haps the same which had driven two
members of his family to suicide before
him, impelled 20-year-old Louis Ed
ward Goebel last night to loop a moose
over q rafter and leap to his death at
the end Of q rope in the darkness of q
barn loft behind his home, at 5021 Belt
road.
Young Louis had told his mother he
was going to . nearby greenhouse to
look over some plants. Although he
was absent from the family circle for
only 10 minutes, his mother grew I'M
easy. She had seen Q look of preoccu-
patton on the face of Louis brother
and on the face Of his father before
him.
Mrs. Louise Goebel, unable to restrain
her anxiety, hurried forth into the dark
ness shortly after 10 o'clock, accompa-
MED by another son, Elmer G. Goebel
Just outside the barn door they found
Louis vest and coat.
Finds Body Of BrOther.
Elmer ran into the barn and found
Louis suspended from q rope. He quickly
cut his brother down and administered
f1rst-aid while his mother summoned
No. II precinct.
Although police believed young Goebel
to have been dead for several minutes
before he was released, they rushed him
to Georgetown Hospital, where No.
fire squad was waiting.
Efforts to revive Goebel were unavail-
ing and he was pronounced dead by DR..
Charles Aronstein Of the hospital stan.
Later a certificate of suicide was issued
by Coroner j. Ramsay hewitt.
The young man left no note and gave
his family no hint of his intention. He
was popular in the neighborhood be-
cause of his cheerful disposition and
industry.
Deaths Bear Parallel.
The circumstances Of the previous
deaths bore O strange parallel. Louis
father, Francis z. Goebel, sat and
chatted pleasantly with his family upon
the front porch of his home one Sun
day afternoon about six years ago. Then
he got up and went inside, and some
time later he was found suffering from
q fatal dose Of poison.
Louis elder brother, Francis, Jr., ~
years old, spent happy evening about
two years ago at an amusement resort
with some young people. That night
he was found, too late, in gas-filled
room.
In addition to his mother and brother,
Elmer, the youth is survived by another
brother, Irving, and by sister, Pauline
0oebel.
