Washington gamblers who was
convicted and sentenced to
prison in June, 1929, will be re-
leased from the District Jail on
parole March 4, the Department
of Justice announced today.
An application for pardon was
made for the gambler last De.
cember on the grounds that his
aged mother was seriously ill, but
President Hoover denied it.
Wife Deposited Check
When the pardon application
was filed the gamblers wife
deposited a certified check for
$500, the amount of the fine
imposed at the time of convic-
tion. This check has never been
withdrawn and is still at the
District Attorneys office to pay
the fine before "Dapper Jack" is
released on parole.

sensational trial at which Chief

Men Eat Breakfast of Milk
And Douqhnuts; Run Away
Upon Arrival of Customer

Two roughly dressed men early
today entered the delicatessen
store of Albert Baker, at 615 II
s N. E., and, declaring that they
were half starved. told him that
unless he gave them food they
intended to hold him up.
The proprietor, at first terrified,
handed them a quart of milk,
and then asked what else it was
they wanted.
Two Eat DOughnutS =.
One of the men walked around
the counter, and as he did so
Baker handed him a bowl con-
tanning doughnuts, and a plate Of
cakes. These we're accepted by
the two men, who, after looking
about the store for several min
utes. ran from the place when
they thought someone was coming
to Bakers aid.
After the two had left, the store
owner found that they had taken
several boxes of cakes and few
other edibles that were nearby.
Flee AS Girl Arrives
The hold-up occurred just after
he had opened his place of bust
ness and he was alone with the
two for nearly half an hour, until
his first customer arrived.
When his daughter, Miss Esther
I. Baker, arrived to open the tea
room adjacent to the store, he re,
lated his experience and she in
turn notified a policeman on the
beat to whom her father gave q
sketch description of the hungry
hold-up men.

Q.N.S0 Date, hour and manner
Of transferring Irene Schroeder

Lawrence county Jail here to the
death house at Rockview pent
tentiary remained a secret today
following action of the State
pardon board at Harrisburg in
refusing to commute the death
sentence of the convicted slayers
of Corporal Brady Paul.
Sheriff Frank Johnston is be-
lieved to be desirous of making
the transfer as quietly as pos

tailed to substantiate the rumor.
Crawford, variously reported
killed in a Texas bank holdup or
a fugitive in Canda or Mexico,
has eluded the widespread police
net since the Paul killing. He

SELECTED.
To GUST SMITH.

John W.. Davis, Democratic
presidential candidate in 1924,
will lead the Senate fight to
force one of President Hoover's
appointees from office.
He was selected by the Senate
Judiciary Committee to institute
quo warranto' proceedings in
District of Columbia Supreme
Court against George Otis Smith,
OF Maine, holding office as chair
man of the newly reorganized
Federal Power Commission.
Several Senators predicted
spectacular attack on Mr..
HoOver'S contention that the SEN
ate is trying to encrOach upon
his executive authority. The
United States Supreme Court
may decide the case finally.
Mr.. Smith and Commissioners
Garsaud, Louisiana, and Draper,
Wyoming, were confirmed before
the Christmas recess and dis
charged Charles A. Russell, Solici-
tor, and William v. King, chief
accountant, of the old commits
sion.
The Senate asked Mr.. Hoover
to return the nomination papers,
when it reconvened after the
Christmas holidays. The Presi-
dent refused, and was upheld
by the Attorney General.
The Senate reconsidered the
nominations, reconfirmed all but
Smith and passed a resolution
authorizing the court action. The
Senate claims authority to recon
slider combinations within two
executive sessions.

PANACEAS FOR
FARMERS
Embargo, Increased Tariff,
Modified Duty Advanced
BY Secretary as Remedies

Congress must take immediate
action on one of three plans sug-
geSted if the farmers of the
nation are to be aided, Chairman
Alexander H. Legge, of the Fed
eral Farm Board declared today.
The three plans outlined by
Chairman Legge to the House
Ways and Means Committee are:
/. Embargo ON certain farm
products for at least a year.
2. Advance of tariff rates on
certain farm products
3. Modification Of some fea-
lures of the present tariff law,
eliminating the cumbersome
cOSt-Study feature.
Relief Promised
Any of these plans, if properly
handled, will relieve the farm
situation, Chairman Legge de-
clared, and he has no particular
choice of the three. He pointed
out, however, that Congress
should take one of them and
adopt it now when the farmers
are in such urgent need of re.
lief. ..5j
The question of wheat has been
largely eliminated from consid-
