PETITION SOUGHT
AGAINST VENDING
Merchants Fear Flood of
PushcartS Under New
Regulation.

Steps are being taken by the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
to compile a petition signed by several
hundred Washington business men ask
ing that the District Commissioners re-
scind the new street vending regulation,
which the association holds will throw
the city wide open" to push cart vend-
orS, 1t was announced yesterday by
Edward D. Shaw, secretary.
Decision to compile the petition was
reached, Mr.. Shaw said, after his or
ganization received a communication
from the city heads announcing that no
change would be made in the regula
ton for the present.
Fear Push Cart Flood.
The new regulation permits street
v-hdors to stop as long as 80 minutes
at one time in one place in the District,
but bars them from certain circles and
the arterial highways. This, the mer-
chants body declares, will permit out
of-town organizations to flood the
city with push carts, which might be
parked all day even in front of fashion
able residences, by having the peddlerS
move from one spot to another every
half hour.
Mr.. Shaw wrote the Commissioners
recently that the Merchants and Man
ufacturerS' Association, ION behalf of
about 5000 retail stores affected, went
on record as being strongly opposed to
the action of the Commissioners in
changing this regulation, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
Reasons Are Listed.
/. Under the new regulation it is
permissible for A vendor who paws
small license fee to park any kind of a
vehicle and carry on trade along the
streets of the finest residential neigh
borhood from which sections mer-
chants, who pay high rents and taxes,
The board feels that this Is unjust dis
elimination.
2. while the regulation limits the
time Of stopping In any one place for
a period of 80 minutes, the board feels
that the act is practically nullified in
that it believes the law can be techni-
cally complied with by the vendor NOV
ing few feet at the end of each 30
minute period. Such a regulation, the
board feels. is extremely difficult, If
not impossible, Of enforcement.
3. THE new regulation will make it
possible for hundreds of push carts and
other dilapidated vehicles to invade the
residential sections of the city and
greatly add to the already serious traf-
fic and parking problems
4. THE parking of such unsightly
vehicles in the better sections of the
city will depreciate property values and
greatly detract from the beauty of the
Nations Capital City.
1.-The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, therefore, respectfully re-
quests that the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia reconsider their
action In changing this regulation, and
trust that they may see their way clear
to rescind this action and re-enact the
previous regulation, which was in effect
for several years"

CAMPBELL PISTOL
TO Be EXAMINED
AGAIN BY EXPERT
Defendant Expected to Plead
Not Guilty on Tues
day.
NOVEMBER MAY BE
SET AS TRIAL TIME
Prosecution Undecided as to
Whether to Ask for Re-
fuSal of Bond.

With the Governments ease"
against Herbert M. Campbell-the al
legged murder weapon-tucked away in
tiny black bag, Sam Hardy, Depart
ment of Justice agent, will leave for
Chicago again today to enable Col. CAL
vim Goddard, ballistics expert, to make
further tests of the revolver.
Meanwhile opposing counsel COM
pletcd plans last night for the legal
SkirmiSh expected to break forth anew
Tuesday when Campbell is arraigned in
the District Supreme Court on first
degree murder charge resulting from
the Staying of Mary Baker April H.
He will enter plea of not guilty.
Two Issues Confronted.
Associate Justice Jesse D. Adkins
probably will preside at the preliminary
hearing. The outstanding issues he will
be called on to decide are whether the
defendant shall be permitted to remain
at liberty under bond and whether
Campbells demand for an early trial
shall be granted.
william H. Collins, assistant United
States attorney in charge Of the case,
declared last night that he was unde-
cided as to whether he would ask that
bond be denied. He added ne had no
objection to a trial within a week or
10 days. He intimated, however, that
the crowded court docket would remove
all possibility of a trial before the mid
die Of November.
Bond Is Expected.
Charles Henry Smith, chief of de-
Tense counsel, expressed confidence
that his client would remain at liberty
until the beginning of the actual trial.
In declining to discuss reports that
William E. Leehy, Washington attorney,
had been retained to aid in the de-
Tense. Smith said negotiations with a
certain Washington lawyer" we're in
progress. but no definite action had
been taken.
Collins said he expected the prose-
cution's case to be strengthened by
additional photographs of the Camp
bell pistol and death bullets to be taken
this week by Col. Goddard in his crime
detection laboratory at Northwestern
University.
Col. Goddard reported several months
ago at the conclusion of series of in
tricate tests that the weapon volun-
tarily turned over to investigators by
Campbell unquestionably was the one
used in the Staying. He declared this
was proved by the firing of test bull
lets and comparison beneath a micro
scope.
Under present plans the revolver and
bullets are also to be examined by Dr.
Albert H. Hamilton of Auburn, N. Y, an
authority of firearms DR.. Hamilton
will be brought here by the defense.

FOOD HAWKERS VIE FOR TRADE
OF CENSUS BUREAU WORKERS
Three Government-Operated Cafeterias
Unable to Care for4,OOO
Extra Employees.

The curb competition sprang up when
the census added some 1000 employees
to its rolls to care for the periodic
tabulation. The three Government
operated cafeteriaS are adequate only
for the permanent force.
Daily they are filled to capacity, and
the overflow, with scant time in the 30
minute luncheon period to seek else
where. must patronize the curb hawkers
or bring their own lunches.
Restaurant Under Way.
While the Controller General has re-
affirmed his refusal to authorize another
Government cafeteria, foundation al
ready has been laid on the reservation
along Missouri avenue for a small
restaurant.
The building is being pieced together
from odds and ends-bits of material
salvaged from the Government struc-
ture which burned recently, lumber
gathered here and there. The Depart
ment Of Public Buildings and Public
Parks Is supplying most of the labor.
1t Is hoped to have the restaurant in
operation before cold weather sets in,
with its attendant hardships to an out
door lunch room clientele.
Meanwhile the hawkers sell out daily
and vie with each out for the best
parking places. Most Of them park cars
there early in the morning, before the
Census Bureaus motorists can line the
curb.
Some bring their own cars, Others
have working agreements with garages
and rent old cars, which are wheeied
into place early. One hawker sends an
ancient sightseeing bus down every
morning, which is moved out only when
his lunch wagon rolls up.
AT any rate, the little Italian-the
man who came late-had to trlIndle his
cart of down the street. If he found a
parking space no one seemed to notice.
After the rush began no one had time
to notice.

.|RREGULARITY SEEN
 ON BOND MARKET
Prices Remain Under Influence
 Of Buying Movement

New York, Dec 22 LP-Bond prices remained under the influence Of the buying movement launched last week when trading was resumed today. Some irregularity developed in investment issues that prohted from the strong advance last week and bidding as a whole was less spirited. There were few advances of more than fractional proportions. The volume of business remained large, indicating a sizable accumula- tion of buying orders over the weekend.
 Railroad bonds held their gains made in the sensational rally last week and in many instances sold Il or F point higher.
 Probably the most spectacular bonds in the rail group were the lives Of the Erie. The s Of 1867 which dipped to 6S12 closed the week 1212 points higher, and the 5s Of 1875 advanced IA from the bottom.
 Other large gains from the years lows at the closing Saturday were: Boston and Maine 5s, 3-S; St. Paul IS or 2ooo. : If and the IS Of 1875, IA Missouri Pacific 5s Of 197T 5l.; Frisco 4lec. $ and Northwest ern 42ls, [ 3-S. The strength shown by the rail group was regarded in financial circles as the most signi- ficant feature or the right about face made by the bond market.
 Stock privilege issues were irrcg- ularly higher. Foreign issues dis played divergent trends. In the European section price movement was narrow. Several Latin Ameri- cans developed further weakness.

Denies Part in Plot

Plymouth, Eng. Dec. 22 LP-Wll- liam Wilton BramWen. stewards clerk of the Mauretanla, arriving here today from New York, denied that he had posed as knight in his marriage to Miss Barbara Butfum at Oxford Mass, last week.
 Bramwell insisted in a conversa- ton with newspapermen that ms identity was known to his bride who had traveled in the Mauretania and knew his occupation. He said he was leaving the Mauretania today and would rejoin Mrs. Bramwell in America.
 The Evening Standard said Bramwcll hid himself in the pan try when the Mauretania docked and refused to pose for photographers
 "You know these Americans, ne told newspapermen, They love pomp and ceremony. 1 am well cd ucated and my voice sounds edu- catcd. Maybe that's what caused all the trouble. Some people may nave thought I must be q knight or something. They are not very sure about titles over there. To them knight, baronct, earl or duke they're all the same
 "Bewildcrcd' by Developments
 Bramwell tall, grayhaIred, with an air of distinction. said he was "bewildered and perturbed.
 "I cant imagine" said he, "ho could have invented such q rldlcu- lous story. l can only think that II is a deliberate intention Of some American people who had perhaps heard rumors that at one time in my life I occupied a position very dlf- ferent from that of ships clerk.
 My wife is a very capable and very beautiful woman. She made all our wedding arrangements. Frankly, l did not look at the register at OK ford nor at any of the documents relating to our wedding, and l don't know how they described me.
 Thought Fuss" Natural
 "All the fuss at Oxford l attrib- utcd to the important position occu- pied there by my wife's parents. It never occurred to me that anyone could believe that l was an English nobleman.
 After the wedding my wife went with me to Boston and I continued to New York where l joined the ship. Then for the first time l learn ed that people thought I was titled.
 This is my last trip as a shlps clerk and when I leave the ship at Southampton I shall return to America as d passenger to fetch my wife 10 England.'
