In year-end reviews.
"A gradual turn in business condi-
lions by the middle or latter part of

saved from his shoe repairing
business for a trip to the old
country, have been indicted for
Grand larceny by the District
Grand Jury.
According to the victims story,
the two men came into his shop,
apparent strangers to each other,
on the day Of the alleged swindle,
and one of them pretended he
could not speak English.
The three good Italians then
entered into pleasant CONVERSE
tion when one Of them disclosed
that his uncle had just died and
left him q large sum of money,
which he wanted to devote to the
needs of worthy poor Of his own
nation in this country, but was
handicapped by his lack Of Eng
hsh,
He waxed eloquent in describ-
ing the needy condition of their
own people in America, so much
so that Briguglio confided that
he had $500 in the savings bank
and would like to assist in the
distribution of his own funds
along with the stranger. So it
was arranged that Briguglio
should remove his money from
the bank and turn it over to the
other, who would wrap 1t up in
a handkerchief and deposit 1t in
a specially purchased strong box
along with $1,000 of his own
funds to be given to the cause.
Briguglio witnessed the wrap
ping Of his money and that of his
new acquaintance, but became
suspicious when they did not re-
turn within the time agreed upon.
When he finally forced the box
he found 1t contained only news

surrounding the disappearance Of
the Danish training ship Koben-

Philip Lindsay, British mis-

the vessel was sighted drifting

With her mainmast missing
and her rigging flying loose, the

FORD MAY BUILD

build q vocational school in
Southeast Washington out Of his
proposed 500, ,000, 900 expenditure
for education.
At a meeting held last night in
the Southeast Branch Library,

tion decided to- urge the Board Of
Education to build such a school
on a site already available, and
il the board were unable to do so
to appeal to Ford. F
Two complaints were made
against the street car company,
one condemning the needless"
noise of cars on Pennsylvania

ton of tracks. 1t was declared
that the noise was so bad as to
disturb the sleep of residents.
The other complaint was against
the stopping of the AnacoStia
car at Third Street Southeast in
stead Of Second Street. which is
a boulevard. It was declared
that the cars cross Second Street
at full speed despite the fact
that it is boulevard. and near
a hospital and school.

municipal work was approved, as
was the proposal to discontinue
the requirement to have lights

MARTIAL LAW TO CONTINUE
 HAVANA CITY
Constitutional Qua rantees Suspended = Mili-
 tary on Duty

HAVANA, Cuba, Nov. 17-Throt- tied by martial law, opposition to the Administration of President Machado has subsided and the city presented nearly normal aspect.
 Infantry and Cavalry consti- tuted the principal reminder that constitutional guarantees have been suspended.
 Rigid military rule is in force.
 Three thousand police are also on duty.
 The Government intimated that martial law will remain perhaps for several days until the morale of the disturbers. chiefly students, has been broken.
 Fighting last week resulted in seven deaths and 50 more wounded.
 Censorship has extended to tele- phones and radios. Previously the cable and telegraph service were under a ban. All Spanish language newspapers, except the Herald de Cuba suspended publications rather than submit to censorship pruning
 Fifty or more arrests have been made

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. IT, Repeal of the Eighteenth Amend ment has been definitely discarded by President Hoovers Law Enforce ment Commission.
 The Commission members have reached tentative conclusions what is to be done but repeal is not in- cluded among them.
 An authoritative denial was also entered into the oft-repeated rumor that the Commission, as a whole, would recommend percent beer or urge a National referendum.
 Whether a final agreement will be reached for plan to strengthen the present system or whether some form of modification will be urged, remained a question.
 The eleven members secret IS guarded with the same care as has surrounded the seventeen months deliberations.

HOOVER STATES !. DEFICIT NEEDN'T CAUSE ALARM
President and Republican Senate Leaders Differ
 on Tax Cut

WASHINGTON. Nov. 17.-Presi- dent Hoover believes that there will be a small treasury deficit at the end of the current fiscal year, which will close next June 30 His view of financial conditions gives rise to the opinoon in some influ- ential quarters that the temporary cut of l per cent in income taxes made last year cannot be continued for the next. The rates will auto matically revert to the high lev els unless Congress acts to continue the reduced rates. Congress is not likely to take such action unless urged to do so by the President.
 No Cause for Alarm
 The President does not think that there is any cause for alarm in the fact that necessary expendi- lures will exceed revenues "by a comparatively small percentage"
 "As we have had surpluses over many years,' he states, probably we can stand deficit for one year without disarranging the stability of the government.
 The President said that final es- inmates of appropriations to be asked of the next Congress were being held up pending detailed in- formation of the governments in- come since the beginning Of the current fiscal year.
 Both the President and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon expressed confidence that the present reduced income rates could be continued
 Smoot Opposed Reduced Rates
 Senator Shoot, Republican, o1 Utah, chairman of the Senate IT. nance committee, declared that ht was opposed to continuance of the reduced income tax rates. His wore in fiscal affairs is considered au- thoritative.
 Senator Reed, Republican ol Pennsylvania, also an authority or fiscal affairs, shares Sen tol Shoots view. Senator Reed added that he did not believe Congress would renew the reduced rates.

He gained five votes in three pre- cincts reporting here today and added 28 more in a recheck of the duplicate official returns received at the office of Clerk of the United States District Court.

Both sets come directly from the election boards at the several pre- cincts. The total vote in this race was: Shattuck 2,315, Gardner 22S3.

Grigsby carried Port Alexander, Shakan and Copper Mount, by nine votes and made a net gain of Is votes in the recheck. ChignilS and Hope, in the Third Division, gave him a majority of Is votes, making his total gain Al from all sources. This reduced Judge Wickersham's lead to l49 votes. The vote in this Division was Grigsby 2.636, Wicker sham 2,483.
 While w. K. Keller, Republican, carried Port Alexander by II and lost Shakan and Copper Mount by seven, his vote in this Division suf- fered net loss of six votes on the recheck. He is now leading An- thony J. Karnes on the Territorial vote by 210 votes. He carried Chignik by l5 votes, but lost Hope by six. The vote in this Division was: Karnes 2,426, Keller 2.373.
 All Democrats Gain
 Every Democratic candidate made slight gains on the First Division recheck but not enough to affect the outcome of any of the other contests. The official returns from Klukwan and Wrangell were en- tirely different from those originally received through the bulletin serv- ice of the United States Signal Corps. Errors were discovered in one or two other precincts.
 The corrected returns from Wrangell and Klukwwan follow: Wrangell: Grigsby 120, Wickersham l21, Sutherland 1; Hardcastle P, Smith l42; Cole 184, Gaffney ST; Hesse CT, Johnson Is, Ulmer 136; Karnes 89.

 MAKING INCREASES
Thirty Nations Increased Tariffs Against
 This Country


 WASHINGTON, D.. C., Nov. IT, United States Senator Reed Smooi whose name is attached to the new tariff act so widely condemned and also defended in the campaign, said the question is whether the tarl.t is high enough not whether it is too high"
 The statement was made after conferring with President Hoover.
 Senator Shoot held the tariff was aiding business recovery He said wage levels were maintained in all major industries as the re- suit of agreements brought about by the President. He said thousands of people were at work today with the shoe, textiles and other indus tries who would be idle except for the tariff"
 Senator Shoot said prices of corn, butter, wool and other pro- ducts are higher than would have been as provided by prices every where else. Products of the rest of the world have dropped to such levels as would flood the United States if it was not for the tariff. The purchasing power of the farmer is being sustained and this is creat- ing more work. Only one nation has increased tariffs since we un- dertook a revision. Three years pre- vious to our revision, thirty nations increased tariffs against the United States"
