Just as Harry B. Thompson, 80,
of 1851 Q st. N. W., was begin
ming to believe Lady Luck had
turned against him, things began
to brighten for him today in
Traffic Court.
Last Thursday night Policeman
R. A. Cunningham, of the Traffic
Bureau, stopped Thompson on
Nichols Avenue Southeast and
charged him with driving with
out a rear light and failure to
show a permit and registration
card.
Thompson was to appear in
court Saturday but finding he
would be unable to do so, he
started to Cunningham's home at
Nineteenth and M Streets North
east to tell him. On the way
Willie Capps, S, of 1912 Nine
teenth Pl. N. E., ran into the
street. Thompson's car struck
the child, inflicting minor in
juries. The car was given a
brake test and Thompson today

Darwin Garrett, colored, "a, of

convinced the IS automobile he
bought several days ago was no
bargain.
Garrett was arranged in Police
Court today on charges of driving
without a permit and operating
car with dead tags. He demanded
a jury trial on the permit charge
and the court took his personal
bond on the other.
Policeman @. E. Heyne, of the
Traffic Bureau, stopped Garrett
yesterday because the bargain car
was making too much smoke. Gar
rett had no permit. On the way to
the precinct the car stalled and
Heyne had to walk in with his
prisoner.

ACTION
Capitol Hill Not Concerned
So Much With Brutality
Charges as With Corruption

On both sides of the Capitol
preparations are being made for
investigation of conditions in the
Metropolitan Police Department
as soon as Congress reconvenes in
December.
AS the District Commissioners
today pushed their inquiry into
the Staples case, and court au-
thorities prepared to swear in a
new Grand Jury to hear the
third degree cases, it was learned
that members of both houses are
quietly gathering evidence upon
which to base congressional &C
ton.
To- Probe Graft Reports
The point of congressional at
tack, it was indicated, will not
be either the Staples scandal or
the brutal treatment of prisoners
by police, but will be the persis-
tent reports Of graft and corrup-
tion within the force.
A sweeping senatorial investi-
CATION of the Police Department,
ordered two years ago, was soft
pedaled" with the appointment of
Maj. Gen. Herbert B. Crosby to
head the department.
At that time it was felt that
General Crosby should be given
a free hand in cleaning UP con.
ditions. But rcw congressional
leaders think he has had his op-
portunity.
BrOOkhart, BIaut0n Lead
! Senator Smith W Brookllart
(R0 of Iowa and Representative
Thomas Blanton CD of Texas,
are expected to be the leaders in
demanding congressional action.
The new Grand Jury, before
which the brutality cases will be
placed next week, will be sworn
ntOmOrrOw. 1t will handle the
Cannon case this week and will
get around to the police matter
next Monday.
The Commissioners committee
of lawyers investigating charges
made by the last Grand Jury
against the police in connection
with the ouSting of Orvil1e
Staples, will hear Staples story
tomorrow.
Although Staples claims to
have evidence of graft in the
Police Department, his story to
the committee is expected to be
confined to his custer from the

Fourth Pan-American CONNER
cial Conference at the first ses-
sion today when Silas H. Strawn,

ward, Secretary of Commerce
Robert P. Lamont was unan1-
mously elected chairman of the
conference.
Admitting that the American
tariff is the object of much for.
eign criticism, Mr.. Strawn pointed
out that the reply of any country
to criticism of its tariff reguIa-
tiOn should be that tariffs are ma
tiOnal problems, which each coun-
try must settle for itself. The 4S
States Of the Union make it i'm.
perative that the tariff be elastic,
the speaker stated, and explained
to the delegates from 20 Pan.
American countries the workings
Of the Tariff Commission. =.
Most Pan.American countries
have increased tariffs on their
main imports since the last con-
ference, Mr.. Strawn said, and out.
lined the difficulty of making q
higher tariff on luxuries than on
necessities.
Depression has made its mark
in most Of the Latin-American
countries, it appeared from the
addresses of several delegates.
Prof. j. Silvia Herzog. chair

asserted the present conference
can do much to change the psyco-
logical outlook on the depression,
particularly on constructive study
of Pan-American problems rather
than the exchange of speeches.

Brazil made clear to the world

if the World War was the pri.
