5000 and costs. Both noted appeals to

imposing a fine only.

lane, near Bethesda, about two weeks
ago OF Chief of Police ALIVE A. Monkey
OF Rockville, Sergt. Leroy Rodgers of
the Bethesda substation and several
other county officers, who found there,

5 gallons Of cider and numerous empty
bottles, cans and other containers.
Atkins disclaimed all connection with
the presence of the liquor in the house,
but his brother-in-law, who stated that
he was taxicab driver, admitted max
ing the beer and assumed full respon-
sibility for everything else found there,
explaining that the supply had been
obtained in anticipation of entertaining
a large number of relatives from New
Jersey during the holidays.

PEOPLES COUNSEL, ENDS WORK
President Reported Having
Difficulty Finding
Successor.
Names of William Nick. Clay

Suggested.

Ralph B. Fleharty ended his career
today as peoples counsel to the Public
Utilities Commission to resume the
practice of law.
Fleharty submitted his resignation to
President Hoover December IA. with a
request that it become effective within
80 days. 1t was accepted with regret
December l6, exactly 80 days ago.
In the meantime President Hoover
has made a diligent quest for a sue
cessor to Fleharty, and, according to
reports from the White House, he is
having considerable difficulty in filling
the vacancy. Comparatively few names
have been suggested for the position.
And coupled with the small number of
candidates, are the legal qualifications
Of the appointee to the Office, which
have served to complicate the Presi-
dents task
The law provides that the appointee
must have been a resident of the Dis
tricS for three years preceding the APP
pointment. Thus the field of candi-
dates has been limited.
Names Are Suggested.
Two of the names suggested to the
President for consideration as a success

TWO CITIES SEEK
MISSING EX-SA|LOR
Charles j ToIIefsen Disap-
pears From Steamer on
Way to Norfolk.

Police Of two cities continued to
search today for Charles Julius Toilet
sen, SO years old, retired Navy chief
boatswain's mate, Of 529 Tenth street
southeast, who disappeared Saturday
night from a steamer en- route to Nor
folk after leaving farewell note In his
state room.
While members of Mr.. Tollefsens
family here, which includes four chill
dren and six grandchildren, refused to
believe he had committed suicide, they
admitted he had been respondent for
some time and that he left home Sat-
urday night without announcing his
destination.
Missed at Norfolk.
TollefSen was not missed until his
steamer. the Southland, docked at Nor
folk yesterday. Capt. George H. Howell
reported the matter to police of that
city, who searched Tollefsens cabin
and found, among other effects, q note
saying:
"Good-by, Gena," and signed Julius
Tollefsen." The note presumably was
addressed to Tollefsen's eldest daugh-
ter, Gena Tollefsen, 81 years old. An
overcoat, dress coat, scarf, a watch
and chain, hat and pair of glasses
also were found in the state room.
Relatives Go to Norfolk.
Members of Mr.. Tollefsen's family
left for Norfolk when notified.
Capt. Howell said he last saw Toilet
sen in his state room Saturday night
about the time the steamer was pass
ing Alexandria. The purser had Toll
lefsen listed as John Thompson" &C
cording to Norfolk police. Members OF
Tollefsen's family expressed the posi-
bility he might have left the boat at
Old Point Comfort with the expecta-
ton of visiting his wife at Phoebus.
Va, from whom he had been separated
for many years.
Tollefsen retired from the Navy after
80 years service. Recently he had been
working as a tailor at the sailors re-
ceiving station at the Navy Yard.

BOMB DEATH CLUE
HELD UNFOUNDED
BY STATE COUNSEL
Attorney Declares Tip on
$500 Debt Motive Proved
VaIueIeSs.
IMMUNITY is REFUSED
TO SUSPECTS BROTHER
Herman Brady Must Testify ito
All He Knows" About Atrocity,
Says Parren.

Rumors which injected new name
into the Seat Pleasant bomb atrocity
today proved to be unfounded, States
Attorney j. Frank Parren announced
Meanwhile, Parren declared he was
determined to continue to refuse re-
quest of defense attorneys that Herman
Brady, young farmer. be granted i'm
munity from future prosecution for his
testimony as State witness against
his brother. LIE Roy Brady. an automo-
bile mechanic, charged with response
bility in the triple murders.
IT still think we have good CO
against LIE Roy" Parren asserted, and
I intend to do eIrything possible TO
force Herman to tell what he knows
about the bombing think the defense
is making a mistake In attempting 10
gain an immunity promise for Herman.
If he had nothing to do with the
bombing why should his counsel be SO
interested in obtaining pledge from
the State?"
Wants Immunity Promise.
M. Hampton Magruder, chief of
counsel for the Brady brothers, reiter-
ated he intends to attempt to gain the
release Of his clients through writs OF
habeas corpus unless the State meets
his demand that Herman be told any
thing he might say to incriminate HIM
self would not be used against him.
Magruder added he plans to confer
soon with Parran and his assistant, j..
Wilson Ryon, in an effort to reach an
agreement on the immunity promise.
Defense counsel indicated no court
action would be instituted to gain the
release of the Brady brothers from the
Marlboro jail until after the prelimi-
nary hearing of Leroy, to be held
Thursday.
Parran said a thorough investiga-
ton had been made of report that
Marlboro automobile mechanic had
days before the internal machine, dis
guised as a Christmas gift" exploded
and caused the death of Hermans
wife, Naomi Hall Brady, and her
brother and sister, Samuel Hall, 19
months. and Dorothy Hall, AZ years
old. This rumor was to the effect that
the manufacturer of the bomb was
angry because a member Of the Hall
family had failed to make good an $500
debt.
Tip Thoroughly Disproved.
I'VE ran that tip out and can say
with certainty that there was nothing
at all to it," Parren said.
The States attorney also disclosed
that in the event Leroy was held for
the action of a grand jury at the pre-
liminary hearing he probably would
demand that Herman be held with him
as a States witness. He intimated Her
mans conduct on the witness stand
would have a bearing on his possible
request that Herman be held without
bond.
