PANTHER DRIVEN
TO COVER BY SNOW

The heavy snowfall of yesterday is
believed to have sent into hiding the
wild beast that has been preying upon
the stock of District and nearby Mary
land farmers, eleventh precinct police
having spent the last "a hours without
single call from the Northeast section,
which the beast has made one of its
haunts, and not single report of the
beasts having made its appearance
coming from Maryland.
throughout the section where the
b = has been reported, however, plans
were being laid today for a concerted
hunt should the animal engage in any
more hog-killing expeditions. The snow
fall Is regarded by the police and hunts
men as ideal for tracking the beast.
Capt. Charles T. Peck of No. IL to-
day requested all huntsmen to stay off
any trail Of the beast that might be
found, to allow bobcat dogs and expert
enced big-game huntsmen to take the
trail and kill or capture the beast. en-
experienced hunters on the trail of the
animal for the sport Of the thing have
repeatedly ruined trails that might
have led police and the experienced
huntSmen they have had with them to
the hiding place of the animal" Capt.
Peck declared. I'VE want to rid the sec
ton Of constant menace to life and
property. and the best way for hunts
men to help Is to stay of the trail"

Rule FOrbids Chest
Workers to Solicit
In US. Departments

The attention of campaigners
for the Community Chest was
called today by John Poole, cam
paign chairman, to the fact that
all Government departments are
closed against solicitors.
The reason for this additional
warning was because of COM
plants received at Chest head
quarters that a number of Gov
eminent employees have been APP
preached during Office hours in
violation of orders that no solicit
tation shall be conducted in the
departments.
Members of the Metropolitan
Unit were advised that Govern
ment employees should be solicited
for contributions at their homes
before or after Office hours. This
rule from Chest headquarters APP
plies to all campaigners.

BrOOkhart Brings Up Club.
The prohibition question bobbed up
in the Senate debate late yesterday
afternoon when Senator Brookhart Of
Iowa read part of letter reporting
that real gin cocktails" and "fish
house rum punch" are served in the
Century Club in New York City.
Refusing to name the author Of the
letter. Senator Brookhart fought back at
the vets when they challenged his as
sertions that booze conditions" in New
York City have improved.
Senator TydingS, Democrat of Mary
land, told Brookhart if he made dill
gent search he could find SO such clubs
in any of the larger cities of the coun-
try. Brookhart replied to Tydings that
he belongs to that crowd which is abb
solutely crazy on this liquor issue"
Senator Copeland, Democrat of New
York, insisted the Iowa dry was blind
and deaf" in picturing an improvement
of prohibition enforcement in New York
City. The answer given him was that
even the policemen in New York City
have to go to Canada to get their
booze"
The Iowan warned that he had more
fish to fry later" He said he sent the
letter to Chairman Wickersham of the
Law Enforcement Commission, with the
hope that at an early day he will be
ready to advise us how to stop these
violations Of the liquor law in the Gen.
fury Club, West Forty-third street
New York"
The portion of the letter read by
Brookhart was undated and unsigned
It bore the heading Century Club.
West Forty-third street, New York City,

with all the chaotic conditions nov
| surrounding the enforcement of the
Volstead act, why not inquire some

HARLINGEN. April 17.-Planters
OF the Valley were assured Wednes-
day by z. II. Whitehead. director Of
publicity for the South Texas Cham
Der Of Commerce, that a careful
check on the situation In Washing
ton has convinced officials of his
organization that there is no ikeli-
hood of the passage of the Box bill
or any other legislation at this ses-
sion Of Congress to further restrict
Mexican immigration.
This belief, he explained. has been
arrived at on the basis Of reports
from several persons who are in
position to keep well posted on how
Washington feels about the problem.
Mr.. Whitehead's statements were
strengthened Wednesday by advises
from veteran correspondents In
Washington that what he said was
correct, that President Hoover Is
understood to be anxious that no
thing be done by Congress which
might undo the benefits Of his good

probably lined up in such a way
IS to prevent passage Of immigra-
ton restrictive legislation at this
session.
The Rio Grande Valley. Inc, along
With the South Texas Chamber Of
Commerce has played an active and
important part in the fight to stop
enactment OF q bill before Congress
adjourns. which would reduce Mex
lean immigration and. thereby. the
supply Of labor for harvesting the
Valleys crops. A meeting Of this
organization will be held April "a
at San Benito, at which the labor
problem win be given a thorough
airing.
Mr.. Whitehead declared that one
Of the more important aims of the
South Texas organization at the
present time Is to aid other states
IN the preparation and passage Of
legislation. similar TO the johnson
bill. which viii prevent the i'm
portation OF seasonal Mexican labor
by northern interests and thereby
take away from adherents OF fur
Their restrictive measures one Of
their chief arguments.
