. FIRE PR0BED

Cause Of fire which destroyed
a warehouse and resulted in
nearly 100000 damage at Fort
Humphreys yesterday is being
sought by an Army board of in
quiry. An inventory of valuable
engineering equipment lost in the
blaze has been ordered by Col.
Edward H. Schulz, commanding
officer.
Discovery Of the fire came
during the officers club dance
at the post. Officers rushed to
aid the 900 enlisted men who
were battling the blaze. A wall
Of water was projected to protect
an adjoining ordnance building,
while ammunition stores were re-
moved from nearby storage build
ingS. Alexandria firemen were
called to aid in the fight. Two
soldiers were overcome by smoke,
but neither was seriously affected.
Capt. j. M. Ward, fire marshall,
directed the fight with the flames,
and later ordered a search Of
the nearby woods for any embers
which might result in forest fires.

HORSES DEAD
Unstable FIRE

Eleven horses were burned to
death early today in a fire which
did $4,000 damage to the main
stables in the Government Expert
mental Farms at Arlington, Va.
The spectacular fire, which
could be seen for miles around,
attracted hundreds of Arlington
county residents.
Employees who attempted to res
cue the horses found they could
not enter the burning structure
because of intense heat. The fire
was discovered by James Wick, a
watchman.
Eight fire companies from Ar

amount Of money on hand and
the appropriations made by Con-

other cities, about the size Of
washington, and their method
of handling Fairgrounds and
park developments. Colonel Grant
is particularly anxious that the
Districts program be in keeping
with that of communities of like
size, particularly from a financial
standpoint. He has delegated
Conrad L. Wirth, landscape
architect of the commission, to
visit various cities east of the
Mississippi River to study the
park and playground financial
arrangements in each.
Available data from many
cities has been studied by Col

Fort Drive that will link up the
historic Civil War forts nearby
it is suggested that some $3,000,-

FEDlJTS.CENSUS,
HELD INSANE

Patrick Gallagher, 140O block
M st. N. W., who was ordered
held for mental observation by
Judge Gus A. Schuldt in Police
Court after he had been arraigned
for refusing to answer questions
put to him by a census enumer-
ator, was yesterday reported in-
sane by DR.. Edgar A. Bocock,
superintendent of Gallinger Hos
pital.
DR.. Bocock'S report declares
that Gallagher is insane and
should not be held responsible for
his actions, and recommends that
he be confined in st. Elizabeth's
or some other hospital for the
mentally deranged. The man will
be given jury hearing in District
Supreme Court to determine if
such action shall be taken.
Gallagher was arrested some
time ago on a warrant sworn out
by j. Sterling Moran, supervisor
Of the census, charging that he
refused to. reply to questions put
to him by the enumerator, Jessie
H. Commerford. It was declared
that to every question asked,
Gallagher replied:
"Ask Vice President Curtis; !.
don't ask me-"
The case attracted widespread
attention, as Gallagher was the
first man in the District of Co
lumbia7 to be arrested for refusal
to obey the census lawc in the
1880 enumeration. = 49,

DEFECTS MUST
Be REMED|ED,
He HOLDS
Penalties Citizen and Dealer,
But. Leaves HoIdups Free
to Arm, Says KentuCkian

The "pistol-toting" bill, urged
by the District Commissioners
and the Police Department and
passed by the House, is facing
serious obstacles in the Senate
District Committee and may not
be acted upon at this session
unless materially modified.
When Henry g. Pratt, Super.
intendent Of Police; Assistant
Corporation Counsel Cameron
and others appeared in support
OF" the bill at a hearing late
yesterday Senator RobSion,
Kentucky, chairman Of the police
and fire subcommittee, quickly
asserted the bill is too drastic
and has numerous defects, in.
cluding a too broad description
of "a dangerous weapon"
Protection For Crooks
RobSion interpreted the bill as
so broad that a person carrying
a pistol in his automobile for
protection against holdups might
be prosecuted, whereas the gun
man would never apply for a
license, but would buy his guns
elsewhere than in Washington,
Senator Robsion observed:
This bill seems to be for
the crook rather than the repu-
table citizen. It would require
anybody desiring to carry
pistol on person or in vehicle
to get q license, be finger
printed and give bond.
"The crook will never 90
through that procedure; he will
90 over into Maryland or Vir.
ginia and get his weapons, or
perhaps order them from n
mail order house. i would
want to see the bill materially
amended before supporting it."
Weapons Listed
The bill includes in the defini-
ton of a dangerous weapon,
RobSion pointed out, even a knife
with a blade more than 312 inches
in length. The House bill pro-
videS that no dealer may sell a
blackjack, brass knuckleS, pistol,
Slingshot, billy, fountain-pen pis-
tol, sand club, bowie knife, dirk
or machine gun without approval
by the Police Department.

TRUCE CALLED
IN TAG WAR
Staff Photo

M. o. Eldridge, assistant di-
rector of traffic, will confer with
Motor Vehicle Commissioner
Frazier and Governor Pollard, Of
Virginia, on the reopening Of the
tag war between Washington and
Virginia.
In the meantime no more
Washington truckmen will be ar
rested in Virginia for not having
State tags, Governor Pollard as
sured Commonwealth Counsel
William C. Cloth, of Arlington
county.
Cloth made a hurried visit to
Richmond yesterday to see the
governor and to ask him to stop
the arrests, which he feared
might hurt commerce.
Dodge High Licenses
It was said that the arrests
were not aimed at the trucking
business as a whole, but at
few companies who have large
fleet of trucks operating through
out Virginia, but keep them in
the District paying 81 fir license
plates instead Of the 81 or more
required in the Old Dominion.
washington concerns, however.
see the arrests as aimed directly
at the entire trucking industry
and are vigorous in their pro-
tests.
The whole question Of differ
ence in tag prices was settled
several years ago when other
officials in Virginia were in power.
AT that time the Washington
Chamber of Commerce made a
thorough survey of conditions and
held conferences with the Vir-
ginia motor vehicle commits
Sioner.
Bargain Not Kept
An agreement was reached, but
it was understood that the Dis
trict would work for certain leg
islation pertaining to automobile
registration which would be
beneficial to Virginia.
Congress has taken no action
since then and it is thought in
some circles that the recent out
break of the tag war was in
tended to serve as a gentle re-
minder.
