Gay with the issue of approving tht
! general inquiry of the Hoover Law In.
! torcement Commission or restricting
! It's activities to a study of the prohibi'
| ton problem.
Action came in connection with the
second deficiency bill which carries
FUNDS for the crime study group. and 6
vote was promised on the question oil
appropriating S250,000 for the contin.
uance OF the commissions general
/ program.
Rejected Sum Last Week.
Considering the bill last week, the
Senate rejected an amendment to give
the commission this amount, as re-
queSted by the administration, and voted
500, 900 for the inquiry with the proviso
That 1t be confined to the prohibition
question.
The vote today came as the result of
the action of the House in reinSerting
the $250.0o0 appropriation in the de-
nclency bill after once striking it out
on a point of order raised by La
Guardia, of New York, a wet, who con-
tended that authority for the commits
sion's inquiry expired on July /.
The House voted the commission the
larger sum late yesterday. together with
a reappropriation of $50 900. The vote
was 272 to Al,
Chairman Jones of the appropriation
committee called the question to the at
tention of the Senate and acceded to
the demand of Senator Glass, Demo-
crat, Virginia, that a separate vote on
the $25O,O0O item be taken in the
Senate today.
1t was Jones who sponsored the
amendment which was rejected last
week and Glass who proposed the $50
600 appropriation and the restricted
commission program.
Hoover Demands Fun Program.
After the Senate'S vote last week,
President Hoover said 1t was necessary
the full program of the commission be
carried out and that it would continue
with its inquiry uncurtailed. He would
be able, he said, to obtain the necessary
funds from private sources.
During the brief debate in the House
yesterday, Frank j. Loesch, a mem
Der of the commission, was attacked by
Representatives O'Connor and Dick
stein, Democrats, of New York, who
charged he had said the Jews and
Italians were largely responsible for
gangSterS' organizations.
O'Connor said Loesch had made ere
marks of an unscrupled gentleman" in
saying that the Jews furnish the
brains and the Italians the Drawn" for
gangster rings.
Dickstein charged Loesch had been
unfair and discriminatory in his re-
marks against aliens. Jews and Italians.
O'Connor, a member of the Rules
Committee. said it was difficult to sup
ply reasonable logic for the action of
Congress in supplying the fund, assert
ing that if it we're not for prohibition
there would have been no Law Enforce
men Commission and "the Government
would not have to spend a dollar were

ALPHABET HELD
LIKE MOUTH

LONDON, oct. 10.-When man
first started to write the forms
he made were in imitation Of the
shape Of the mouth in speaking.
This theory has been advanced
by Sir Richard Paget, famous
authority on speech.
When the various alphabets Of
the world are examined, Sir
Richard explained. the symbols
for M almost invariably represent
two closed lips, which Is the
position Of the mouth in pro.
nouncing that letter. B also
shows the two closed lips in
profile.
In the English alphabet nearly
all the letters thus picture the
mouth In speech. The letter A,
formerly written on its side, rep
r4sents an open mouth; the letter
o, the rounded mouth necessary
for pronouncing that letter. The
upright letter / with the dot over
it represents the raised tongue
not quite touching the palate
In the letter l. and T the con.
tact Of the tongue with the pal
ate is actually made. Though
these letters sound so different,
they are made by the tongue in
very much the same position.
And the symbol L is almost the
same as q T inverted.

Little Elk Creek, swollen by
the rain of the night before, on
Friday was responsible for the
drowning of Ruth Devine, II
years of age, and the narrow
escape of two other girls, Alice
Devine, her sister, and Eva

With Mary Spicer, aged Is,
and Betty Devine, the first
three girls had gone bathing

girl. With Eva and Alice,
Ruth was wading upstream
when they stepped into a hole.
Mary Spicer went to their aid
and was able to save her sister
Eva and Alice Devine, but she
became exhausted before she
could rescue Ruth. The body
of the drowned girl was later
recovered by John Holmes, of
Cherry Hill, who was visiting
at the Devine farm.

Violent Storm Does Much
Damage-Barn Burned

The storm that swept over
this section on Thursday eve
ming of last week, at about
seven o'clock, was a violent
one, and was accompanied by
startling electrical discharges,
high wind, heavy downpour of
rain, and also considerable
hail..
Much damage was done in
different localities. The barn
on the farm of r. B. Marshall,
near Woodlawn, was struck by
lightning and burned. The
Community Fire Company of
this town, responded to the
alarm, but it was impossible to
save the structure, which was
an old one and used only as a
storage place for hay, lot of
which was destroyed, with the
barn.
Telephone service through
out the county was badly Grip
pied as a result of the storm,
so many phones being burned
out, wires broken and torn
down by falling limbs that
linemen have been kept busy
since making repairs and
trying to get service back to
normal.
In the town of ElktOn the
storm left a path of wreckage.
Many windows in the Elemen-
tary school building were brok-
en-; the weaving mill owned by
the A. J. Reach Co. was struck
by lightning and damaged, but
not set on fire; stands, merry
go-round, and ferris wheel on
the American Legion carnival
grounds, located near the
school building, were all blown
down, causing much loss; limbs
were wrenched from trees, fall
ing on electric wires, tearing
them down and putting the
town in darkness for hours.
Mrs. George Crothers was in
jured when a large tree limb
struck an ,outbuilding. A por-
ton of the kitchen at the home
of Howard Ruhl, Supt.. of
schools, was wrecked by the
limb of a tree falling upon it.

Two Men Alleged To Have As
saulted Thirteen Year
Old Girl

Charged with felonious as
sault upon Carrie Mitchell, a
thirteen year old white girl
from York county, Pa, Elmer
Adams and Charles Tome, also
of York county, have been held
by Magistrate Scotch, of Elk
ton, under $4,000 bond each for
Court. Charles Adams, Mrs.
Charles Adams and Ellen Boil
ling are each held under $500
bond as material witnesses.
Some weeks ago the men
rented a house near Childs,
from Mr.. Lazalere, who a short
time later compelled them to
move. They then rented a
house on what is known as the
Dewitt farm, near Providence.
They were suspected by the
authorities of being implicated
in certain robberies. and an in
vestigation resulted in their
arrest on the felonious assault
charge.
The girl testified that Tome
had brought her and her half
sister, Mary Hall, to the house
and kept her there over a week,
and that both he and Elmer
Adams had taken advantage of
her. This testimony was cor
federated by others.
The Pennsylvania author
tiles have lodged detainers
against the accused on robbery
charges. 1t is understood that
the two men will likely be
turned over to the Federal
authorities, charged with vio-
lation of the Mann Act.

Court House To Undergo Elk
tenSiye Improvement

Notwithstanding the agita-
ton for building of a new
Court House in Elkton, the
Board of County Commission
ers evidently does not expect
it to materialize. At the spec
ial meeting of the Board last
week, called to make the an
nual tax levy, the sum of $4O,-
600 was placed in the budget
for public buildings.
1t is understood that in the
near future extensive improve
ments will be made to the pres
ent Court House, which will
include a general renovation
and an extra story added to
that portion of the building
known as Clerk of the Courts
office. This will give room for
storage of records and a retir-
ing room for the judges.
