HENDERSON KIN
KNEW STORY
RUTH EISINGER

A member of the Henderson
family today corroborated the
story that Mrs. Beatrice Hender,
son Wholean, of the Mayflower
Hotel. is not the granddaughter
of Mrs. John B. Henderson, but
an adopted child.
The woman, high in Washing
ton society, asked that her name
be withheld, saying she would
"tell ALL in court. She intro
duced "Trixie" Henderson to
Joseph E. Wholean, who met dis
favor With. Mrs. Henderson be-
cause he was not wealthy or a
foreigner"
Approved Adoption
Interviewed in her sumptuCus
apartment, she said:
"I have known for many
years that Mrs. WhOlean is not
the granddaughter of Mrs. Hen
derson. l knew it when 1 in.
Produced her to her present
husband. However, she is a WOn--
derfuI woman, and as sweet
and loyal as any can be. Even
those of highest breeding and
most distinguished ancestry
cannot boast of more refine
ment and charm than Mrs.
WhOlean."
81 know that DIR. (William)
FRYE went to a Sanitarium near
Cumberland, Md, and obtained
the baby for Mr.. and Mrs. Hen
dersOn, jr. The child was not
a founding. She was turned
over by a woman, poor, but Of
fine character. There's nothing
wrong about that. If a person
cannot have child. l think it
better to adopt one than have
a lot of dogs around her.
Reared a GentlewOman
"That's what Beatrice'S foster
mother did. She wanted the
child to have all the advantages
as though she were her own
flesh and blood. Soon after
ward she died.
Little Beatrice was reared as
a lady and loved by all. She
grew to be a fine gentlewOman.
Now, it's too bad that all this
disgusting publicity should come
out. do not know the name
of her mother or father, but
/ hope her mother is dead"

44-H0UR WEEK
VOTE IS SET

The Kendall bill. providing a
44-hour week for postal employees,
will come before night session
of the Senate next Tuesday.
Passage of the measure, which
already has been enacted by the
House, appears probable, mas
much as 1t has Administration
support. 1t was reported favor
ably by the Senate postoffice
committee some weeks ago.
While this bill is slated to be-
come a law the all-year-round
Saturday half-holiday measure
for Federal employees appears to
have struck snag in the House.
No provision for it's cousidera-
tion has been made by Represen-
tative Smell (R), of New York,
and the other G. o. P. leaders
in the lower chamber.
Thomas F.. Flaherty, secretary
of the National Federation of
Postoffice Clerks. said today;
"The Kendall bill means a
reduction in working schedules
for the larger postal groups of
four hours a week. 1t will af-
feet approximately 10000
clerks and carriers in first and
second class pOStOffices and in
the railway mail service. 1t
will give additional employment
to 10000 substitute postal en-
plOyeS throughout the country"

After Furry Lasting 2 Days

With normality restored after
a two-day run. officials of the
Perpetual Building Association,
Eleventh and E Streets North
west, today we're aiding secret
service agents to run down the
source of the rumors which
caused the temporary run on the
association.
Woman Is Suspect
Secret service men assigned by
the Treasury Department to
locate the source still maintain
silence, but officials of the asso,
citation have intimated the suS-
pect is a woman clerk in the
Postoffice Department. Her move
ments during the past few days
are being closely trailed and
police are running down other
leads.
Questioned about the suspect
in the Postoffice Department Ed
ward C. BaltZ, SecretarytreaSCrer
of the building association said:
Eyes, we have under Suspi-
cion a certain woman in the
POStOffice Department, whose
name we are not at liberty to

Starving Boy Refuses
To Beg, CoNapses
Beside Policeman

Jerome Bernstein. 18. who
came to this city recently from
California, collapsed yesterday
afternoon at First Street and
Rhode Island Avenue Northwest
from hunger as he was about to
speak to Policeman C. D. Gun
ningham of the Traffic Bureau.
The policeman summoned a
patrol wagon and carried the
starved lad to Emergency Hos
pital, where he was given a
hearty meal. Later employees of
the hospital collected enough
money for the boy to get a room
for the night and breakfast to-
day.
He told hospital attaches that
he came here a short time ago
from California and has been
unable to secure work. He
added that he could not bring
himself around to begging de-
spite his helpless plight.

BUILDING IDLE
AID SOUGHT

The District of Columbia Com
mittee on Employment today sent
letters to 143 leading real estate
firms and operative builders in
the Capital urging them to be-
gin as soon as possible building
projects they had planned for
the spring.
The letter pointed out that
Frederic A. Delano. chairman OF
the committee, recently met with
representatives of the Council OF
Building Trades, who pointed out
problems confronting the various
trade organizations regarding the
unemployment problem. The let
ter stated:
"In impreSsing upon real es-
tate operators the necessity for
immediate action, the commit
tee does not urge unnecessary
work. Its stand is that work
which has been projected for
the spring should be COM
menced at once as it will do
much toward turning the tide

NO WORRY FELT
|. OVER RUMORS
ON STREET
Printing Office Suggested as
Possible Place; Way Shown
For Gamblers Protection

Treasury Department officials
today refused to get excited over
an alleged leak" in the daily
Treasury balances through which
the big three number racketeers
of New York City are said to
have lost $4,000 yesterday.
It was said the winning num-
ber yesterday was known several
hours before it was announced
and today members of the racket
in New York were reported in a
huddle to devise another system.
Are Not Responsible
Officials of the Treasury, how
ever, declared that they are not
responsible for losses incurred by
those who wish to gamble on
the Treasury balances. One Of
ficial said they have absolute
faith in the employees who COM
pile such figures and are positive
the alleged leak" did not occur
at the Treausry. One official
said:
."Our balance for today was
compiled on February 5. Yes
terday these figures were put
in sealed envelope and taken
to the Government Printing Of
flee. The balance is not re-
leased until $3.50 each morning.
There is no way these figures
could have become known un-
less it occurred after leaving
our office and arriving at the
printing office"
Officials said. however. they
are not obligated to protect per-
sons taking chances on the game
and dismissed thought of any
investigation to find the alleged
leak. They admitted, however,
that it was possible the figures
may have been revealed when
they we're put to press.
1t was said that the way the
numbers heads should cope with
the conditions is by refusing to
accept bets after 4:30 the day
preceding release.

BINGHAM PLANS
FUND HEARING

Senator Hiram Bingham (RD
of Connecticut, chairman of the
District subcommittee of the Sen
ate Committee on Appropriations
today is preparing for hearings on
the local appropriation bill which
passed the House yesterday
Hearings on the bill will be
started by the Senate subcon-
mittee Monday. and it is expected
that they will be concluded during
the coming week.
Senate for Increases
The Senate generally increases
slightly the appropriations al
lowed by the House, and has come
to be regarded as the court of
last resort" by citizens of the Dis
trict who feel that they have been
illiberally treated by the House.
1t is probable that interest in
the Senate hearings will center
around the school budget con-
tained in the bill. The Board of
Education has already decided to
take up, several matters with the
Senate committee.
Hearings Expected
Other agencies of the local gov
ernment which were not allowed
their full estimates in the S45,-
100000 measure passed by the
House are also expected to ask
for an opportunity to present
their cases to the Bingham COM
mittee.
The bill as passed by the House
fixes the lump sum at $4,000, 900,
the same as carried in the cur
rent law. This figure was reached
by compromise of both houses.
The Senate is not expected to
modify this sum,

Noted on Chicago Market;
Spectators Wary

Chicago, July l4.-(R-Persistent
hedging sales against rural purchases
Of newly harvested grain more than
wiped out wheat price gains today
Elimination of short-selling of late
had left the market in a position to
be. easily influenced. Pit observers
said professional spectators had
practically ceased to operate on the
short side of the market owing to low
prices.
In last minutes of trading July

bushel, only Is cent above the all-time
record low established in July. 1894.

ing South Dakota -advices that in
some sections wheat was almost a
failure so far as grain was concerned
due to hot weather two weeks ago.

putting wheat down to IS cents in the
country had dried up offerings and
that little new wheat would re mar

LEGGE SEES BETTER
Times FOR FARMER
Says He Is Working Through
Depression With Less Suf-
fering Than Others

Chicago. July 14.-R-Alexander
Legge. former chairman Of the federal
farm board. predicted a bright future
for the American farmer In radio
broadcast Tuesday.
Times are hard enough for the
agricultural producer right now" he
said, "but on the whole he Is working
himself through this period Of de-
preston with less suffering than
many other classes, and this difference
is largely due to the fact the farmer
did not participate In the so-called
boom times Of 1925 to 1929 in which
so many other industries plunged in
to a wild orgy Of initiation and spec
ulation from which they have had a
sad awakening"
Legge, said farm property values
were lower than they were. yet the
farmer has manfully dug in, has
faced the facts of his situation
squarely and patiently and he, in
most cases is in q perfectly solvent
position. Best Of all. he has q def
mite prospect Of better times ahead"
