RACE To SAVE
CHOKING CHILD
MISS FOLEY

A frantic father with his dying
3-year-old daughter, boarded a
plane here yesterday for the final
lap of a dash from Orlando, Fla,
to Philadelphia, in an attempt to
save the child's life.
But Marjorie Cohen died on the
operating table of the Philadel.
phia hospital where she was
taken to have a bean removed
from her throat by DR.. Chevalier
x. Jackson, the surgeon who had
the necessary equipment.
Saturday night little Marjorie
swallowed a kidney bean. 1t
lodged in her bronchial tube,
and slowly began to choke her
to death.
Condition Grows Worse
Florida physicians could do
nothing for the girl, and she was
placed on a train and rushed
northward to the Jefferson Hos
pital at Philadelphia. where DR..
jackson waited with his bronchio-
scope.
The gasping child's condition
rapidly grew worse. At Rich.
mond. a railroad physician
boarded the train and litter ex.
animation said she had little
more than an hour to live.
Ambulance Waits Here
Arriving at Washington, a wait.
ing ambulance with shrieking
motorcycle escort waited to take
the girl to a Ludington line
plane, which stood with motor
running at Washington airport.
The flight to Camden, N. J..
took only 81 minutes, nearly a
record. Pilot v. j. Lucas made
a dangerous landing in a Tail
wind. Another ambulance rushed
the girl and her father the re
naming six miles to the hospital
The bean was removed, but
too late. The strain of hel
difficult breathing had weakened
the girl too much, and one lung
had COLLAPSED.

D, {, MARD| GRAS
YEARLY URGED
SYLVIA

Proposal that the Halloween
celebration be made an annual
affair to rival the Mardi Gras of
New Orleans was today made in
communication from Inspector
Ernest w. Brown, acting superin-
tendent of police, in letters to
members of the festival commit
tee.
Letters were sent to William A.
Roberts, general chairman Of the
Halloween, and to Curtis w.
Garges, director of the Greater
National Capital Committee Of
the Board of Trade. Inspector
Brown suggested that the affair
could become g rival of the ia
nous New orleans festival and of
the Mummers parade held New
Years Day at Philadelphia.
Inspector Brown said his in
terest in making the celebration
annual was motivated in the
hope that destruction of prop
erty and other depredations
throughout the city would be
brought to a minimum. With
the center of the celebration
drawn about certain route, In
spector Brown said Saturday
nights joy-making was largely
confined to the one section.
Inspector Brown said he would
suggest that all vehicular traffic
be suspended at the scene of the
celebration and that plans be
made to illuminate and decorate
that section of the city. Penn
sylvania and Constitution Ave
nues would probably be the area
selected

Halloween ReUelerS
Draw $40 Fines
In Police Court

Halloween was hilariously OBJ
served by at least 1O4 Washing
tonians, to judge by Police
Court records today.
The 104 defendants who were
arraigned before Judge Ralph
Given on intoxication charges
nearly all told the same story:
IL did not intend to get
drunk, but it was Halloween
and I took a couple of drinks to
celebrate"
Several old offenders, how.
ever, appeared in the lineup,
and Judge Given remarked to
one of them, who admitted that
today's arraignmeht was his
fiftieth time before the court:
Halloween to you is just an.
other excuse to get drunk"
Most of the defendants were
fined $40 each.

The District Committee on
Employment today inaugurated
its winter program. it's treasury
enriched by a $4,000 gift from
President Hoover, and $500 from
the wrestling tournament staged
last week.
A group of unemployed men
were sent by the committee to
Arlington Cemetery to cut wood
at Is cents an hour as the start
ing of a municipal wood pile
through which the committee
hopes to diminish the operation
of panhandlers in the city.
The site for the wood pile has
not yet been decided. Two loca-
tions are being considered; one
at First and B Streets Southwest,
the other at Sixth and B Streets
Northwest, and the choice prob
ably will be made today. Wood
from the cemetery will be
transported to the site and men
will be paid an approximate
wage of 25 cents an hour to cut
the timber.
The committee also began
preparations to investigate the
residential qualifications of 400
men who will be put to work
on a part time per diem basis
by the District Government, be-
ginning November 16.

FATE Of HOUSE
At STAKE IN
ELECTIONS
TomorroW'S Vote Barometer
of 1892 Trend; Democrats
Hopeful of Winning 4 Seats

Five special elections tomorrow
are expected to decide control OF
the next House and whether
Jack Garner CD Texas, who
has the solid support of the
Democratic side, or one OF the
half dozen Republican aspirants,
will be the next Speaker.
In a sense, tomorrow's elec'
tions will be a test for the
Hoover Administration and a
barometer for 1882. National
policies have figured more or less
in the campaigns and reduced Or
increased G. o. P. and Demo
cratic majorities are likely to
show the drift, despite the local
issues involved.
I House Vacancies
There are now seven House
vacancies, caused by deaths, but
two special elections cannot be
held, under State laws, until
later. A New Jersey vacancy
(Ackerman's) will be filled De-
cember /, seven days before Con-
gress meets. However. New Hamp-
shire cannot fill the Hale va
cancy until January. Both dis
tricts are listed as safely Repub-
lican.
OF the five to be filled tomor-
row, Democratic are given the
twentieth Ohio and seventh New
York. The Republicans expect
to hold the second Pennsylvania
(Philadelphia), a G. o. P. strong
hold, where the late Representa-.
tive Graham always rolled up big
majorities.
That leaves the real battle
grounds in the first Ohio, which
the late Speaker Nick Longworth
carried handily for many years,
only to have his majority re-
duced to less than 1000 III 1890,
and eighth Michigan, normally
Republican.
After hectic campaigns Demo
Gratis claim they will carry them
both and their party, now with q
paper majority of one in the House
and a cohesive following for Jack
Garner, would organize the lower
chamber early next month.
Present Lineup
So far Republican speakership
support is split among Tilson. Con-
necticut: Smell. New York; RAM
seyer, Iowa; Hoch, Kansas, and q
couple or so of potential dark
horses" Present lineup for House
control: Democrats, 214; Repub-
licans, 2l3; Farmer-Labor, /; va
canCieS, 7.
About a year ago the Repub-
licans had a paper majority Of
two or three, but since there have
been deaths of more than a dozen
members, affecting more Repub-
lican than Democratic districts.
Three States-New Jersey, Ken
lucky and Mississippi-are to elect
governors tomorrow, but the issues
are largely local. Various cities
and counties will decide mayoralty
and other political contests.

GRAND JUR|ES'
ACCUSATIONS
'L|BELOUS'
Jurors Have No Right to Make
Charges Without IndiCting,
Prominent Lawyers View

Grand juries in the District of
Columbia can be expected from
now on to limit their activities
to indicting or ignoring cases
presented for indictments, and
not to make wholesale charges
against persons having no op-
portunity to defend themselves.
Within the past two weeks. the
District Supreme Court has or
dered expunged from its records
two Grand Jury reports which
excoriated Inspector William S.
Shelby, Capt. Edward j. Kelly,
Inspector Louis j. Stoll and Pri-
vate Joseph H. Hunt, for their
conduct in certain criminal cases.
Open to Prosecution
These actions were topics of
discussion today in legal circles.
Some lawyers even said that on
the basis Of Justice James M.
Proctor's decision in the two
cases that the jurors acted out
side their province, the jurors
themselves were open to prosecu-
tion.
Ordinarily a Grand Jury re-
port is. privileged document,
meaning that jurors can say any
thing they wish without fear Of
libel suit. The reports expunged
were given out for publication and
were printed in the newspapers.
But the four policemen named
were variOusly accused of serious
violations Of the law and the
police cOde.-withhOlding infOrma-
ton, misleading witnesses, and
manufacturing evidence! No in
dicementS were returned against
them. 1t was Justice PrOcGOr'S
opinion the jurors had no au-
thOrity to issue the damaging
statements, and on this theory
they were removed from the court
records and destroyed.
Failed in Their Duty"
Henry I. Quinn. attorney for
Inspector Stoll, is Of the opinion
that the Grand Jury made itself
answerable to the law for its
failure to indict. He said today:
"By refusing to indict they
failed in their sworn duty. The
accusations they made called
for indi c m e ntS. AS they
brought no indictments their
charges are not privileged, and
a libel action might be in or
der"
Mr.. Quinn said his search
through the records of local
courts and decisions of other
Jurisdictions failed to show any
instances where grand juries were
accorded the right to issue blanket
accusations unless accompanied
by indictments.
