Determined Fight on Measure
Would Prevent Vote; Bill
Is Scored as Too Drastic

A lively scrimmage in the Sen
ate, before Congress adjourrs,
over the Howell bone dry pro-
hibition bill for the District Of
Columbia was promised today.
Senator Robert B. Howell (R0,
Nebraska, is determined to try
for a vote on his pet measure and
Senator Millard e. Tyd1ngs CD,
Maryland, chief foe Of the bill,
is Just as determined that there
should be 'full discussion" While
the Maryland Senator has not
threatened as yet any filibuster,
it is difficult to get legislation
through at this stage of the Con.
gress session if there is real op.
position.
Wet Block Weaker
The wet bloc" in the Senate Is
not as large as formerly because
of the departure of Senators Reed
Missouri, Edge (New Jersey,
Edwards (New Jersey, Bruce
CMaryland) and Bayard Oela-
ware). but it can still put q scrap,
especially when Congress is about
to quit and everybody is hot and
tired.
It Is Senator Tydings' conten-
tion that the Howell bill is en-
tirely too drastic: more stringent,
In fact, than the Volstead act
itself, and that Howell is trying
something out on the Capital
which doesn't apply in the States" ,"
and therefore the Capital is dis,
crlrninated against.
Increase Penalties
The Howell bill would make
every policeman in WaEhinstpu .
prohibition enforcement officer;
provide increased penalties for
violations of prohibition. and ex.
tend the power of enforcement
agents to raid private homes.
It is charged by Howell that
many bootleggers used private
dwellings as storage houses" for
their illicit wares and make de-
liveries to and from such places
instead of downtown offices. He
insists prohibition officers should
have more leeway in raiding
dwellings on information that
they are being used as storage
places.
The Attorney General disap-
proved of this section Of the. bill,
but it was only slightly modified
by the Senate committee.

O'Brien told the delegates that
Washington suffers because the

not work together in the advance

He pointed out to the 100 dele.

Had Eluded Police, but Leaped
: and Ran When Sound Like
Shot Came From New Auto

After three shots had been
fired at his car by police whom
he eluded in a three-mile chase,
the driver of a rum.running car
early today continued for two
more miles, until backfire from
an automobile following caused
him to think police were after
him again.
The driver jumped out and ran
at Fourteenth and Swami Streets
Northwest and his car was cap
tured by Policeman Samuel L.
Young, of the Second precinct,
who was on foot.
Bullet Hole In Car.
Young said that just before the
driver made his getaway, road
ster had been behind him and the
driver had fired a shot, or his AL.
tomobile baekfired. Probably the
latter. The car turned down a
side street.
The abandoned automobile,
which had a bullet hole in the
rear, was found to be the same

10 minutes earlier.
The Traffic Bureau officers,
on motorcycles, said they took
up the chase at about 1880 a. m.
and that several times the driver
of the rum car attempted to force
them off the road. During the
entire chase of three miles, the
fleeing car kept smoke screen
turned on.
Get II Cases Of Liquor
At Massachusetts, Avenue and
Thirty.fifth Place Northwest,
Langdon fired three shots at the
car, one of which hit it.
When Policeman Young took
charge Of the car, he found II
cases of liquor, filling the entire
rear part of the sedan and a
tank for a smoke screen apparatus
by the drivers seat.

WIRELESS ASKS
SHIPS To HUNT
FOR BARRERE
D. C. Squad Radioes Vessels
In Search Of Baker Suspect;
Police at Ports Also Aid

All ships at sea have been ra-
diced to scan their passenger lists
for Herman Barrere in the latest
move by the Washington homicide
squad to locate the itinerant
painter who is wanted for ques-
tioning in the murder Of Mary
Baker.
Police also in all coast cities
have been asked by Inspector Will
lam S. Shelby to keep a close
watch on their ports, while inland
police are already searching for
the man.
New Facts Barred
Department of Justice agents
and the chief of the homicide
squad, Lieut.. Edward Kelly, have
uncovered some facts in the last
few days which makes it of the
utmost Importance" that they
question Barrere.
Inspector Shelby refused to
state tina tthe fugitive had def
nitely been connected with the
murder in spite of the fact that
10000 circulars with a detailed
description Of the man had been
sent all over the country.
Accused Also Of Theft
Some Of the property found in
the trap-sewer with Miss Bakers
clothes are declared to have been
stolen by Barrere..
One Of the most ironic angles
Of the present hunt is that Bar
rere was in jail in Arlington
county a few days after the mur.
der, on a charge Of petit larceny.
He was actually in the lineup
with Sisson, the salesman who
was brought up here from Vir-
ginia and grilled in an attempt
to pin the crime or him. He was
not identified at the time as the
man reported to have beaten Miss
Baker near the Ellipse.

ROCKFORD, Ill.-Here is what four years as lightweight champion did for Sammy Mandell:
 Made him fortune which he ln- vested wisely.
 Established him as stable citi- zen of Rockford with the respect oi his hometowners.
 Mandell lost his title to Al Sing CT of New York but he still has do- nestle happiness, a 5000 home here, little son, Dick, now almost three years old and something like $250,OOO
 A year ago the former light weight champion said he was "set for life" Since then he has had two bouts with Jimmy McLarnin in which he earned upwards of $50,- 900, and the other night when he was knocked out for the first time, he picked up $65,000. Mandell is one of the extraordi- nary characters of the ring. This black headed Italian youth, a year before he won the championship from Rocky Kansas in 1926 decided that his father, who had worked for 20 years in a Rockford foundry had toiled long enough. Sammy built his father a home and gave him a monthly income.
 Sammy married Rockford girl and built an English type bungalow in one of the city's best residential streets. Then along came Dick to make the love nest complete. ! Mandell liked to box but he loathed a certain type of hangers on who infest gymnasiums.
 Through the friendship of thc late Thomas Sizer, cashier of the Forest City National bank, ano Thomas Gill, an attorney, Mandel made wise investments with tht money he earned in the ring.
 The first knockout of the Rock ford lad is likely to be the last. Ht once said:
 "As soon as I am convinced that have begun to slip I shall quit I'll never stay in there and gel punched around until l am goofy.
 When Mandell came back tt Rockford, a dethroned champion 3 900 persons were at the station t greet him.
 That's what they think of Sammy Mandell in Rockford, the town h' loves to brag about.

ssi Who is the outstanding rookie stheu year?" asks an inquisitive ob- Eerver of the major league scram- sble, adding that he would like tc know if there has been a better find in 1880 than Senor Lopez the Cubanola backstop of the Brooklyn Robins.
 Our National league scouts report Lopez stands well up at the top of any list of newcomers, that he has, had more to do with the sen sational rise of the Brooklyns than any other individual outside of pos -sibly Glenn Wright at shortstop But Wright does not enter into this debate since he is distinctly a veteran
 The Robins uncovered another new star in Ray Phelps, the right handler who has formed a great battery with Lopez. Finn and Slade, the keystone kids, also rank among Brooklyn's discoveries.
 The Boston Braves picked up two able recruits from the Pacific Coast league in Wally Berger the siege gun, and Buster Chatham at third ! base.
 Cincinnati acquired an important pitching find in Bennie Frey, also fine new infielder in Tony Cuc- cinello.s The Phillies picked up a slugging first baseman in John Sherlock and the Pirates bolstered their initial sack with another re- cruit, Gus Suhr, from the San Francisco Seals.
 The outstanding finds" in the American league for 1880 included Speed" Mahaffey, Portland right handler with the champion As; Tom Oliver, Red Sox outfielder from the Southern Association; Pen Chapman, new Yankee third sacker, from St. Paul; Chief Hog sett, Detroit's Indian pitcher; and Smead Jolley of the White Sox.
 Taking all factors into considera- tion. Lopez seems to be the out standing newcomer of the sea- son, with Berger not far behind. Lopez can hit at .350 clip or better and he is brilliant work man behind the plate.
