LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15. (R)-A 21-year search for man whom she accused of deserting her and their infant son in Chicago in 1910, ended in the police Missing Per- sons Bureau.
 The meeting was marked by bit terness and a dramatic recital of a shattered romance while attor- neys and police looked on.

 The Department of Justice is after Washington policemen who club prisoners until they confess something.

 A chap who got his training as a rabbit hunter wins the rifle championship of the United States, which is reminiscent of the fact that it was an army of hunters that cleaned up the Brit ish at the battle of New Orleans. A let-down in the law against owning and carrying fire arms might be wise move. AS things now stand the thugs carry guns anyhow, and the law-abiding 20 unarmed, forgetting each year a few more of the principles of the effective shooting for which America was once noted.

CURRENT COMMENT AT
 THE NATIONS CAPITOL

The latest issue of United States government bond, amount ing to a little less than $l,000, ,O0O,- 900. was over subscribed. Altho many of the subscribers were con- cerns which always have plenty of money for any dead-sure in vestment the small-sum subscrib- CTS were present in considerable numbers, and the over-subscrlp- tion obviously indicates that many citizens in average circumstances have free money laid aside. It is natural that those in stringent circumstances should complain and ask for help. It is unnatural that those in comfortable circum- stances should publish the fact and tender help. Unfortunately, one class cannot be asked to close it's mouth, and the other to open its purse. with any chance that the request will be compiled with, but therein may reside a cure for the existing business depression.

BLOODHOUND ISSUE
HALTS LURAY TRIAL

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LURAY, Va, April 1.-The trial of
David Sours for the alleged murder of
Edward Burracker March S, which
opened here yesterday, proceeded swiftly
until the question of the admissibility
of evidence concerning the bloodhounds
used in the case came up, at which
time the judge dismissed the jury to
hear arguments by opposing counsel on
this point. The case was to be resumed
today.
Selection of a jury was quickly ac-
complished from the panel Of AZ venire-
men summoned. The prosecution spent
Is minutes in opening and the defense
but 10 minutes.
Mrs. Rachael Burracker, widow of the
slain man, was the first witness. She
declared that Sours had made threats

against her husband as long as nine
years ago. She was followed to. the
stand by her son, who testified as to the
finding Of his stepfather's body.
There were nine witnesses heard at
yesterdays session. The sheriff and
others testified that Sours had made
conflicting statements after his arrest.
The testimony with respect to. the
bloodhounds, which the defense is at
tempting to have barred, revolves
around the action of the dogs which
were brought here on March from
Staunton and which are claimed by the
authorities to have followed a trail from
the spot where Burracker's body was
found to the home of the accused.
Members Of the jury are: L. L. Ruff
ner, merchant; Clyde D. Modisett, re-

RASKOB IS WARNED
|. TOAVO|D DRY ISSUE
Discussion of Policies Is Ex-
pected at March 5 Meet
ing, However.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
When Chairman Raskob of the DEM
ocratic National Committee arrives
here shortly he will be advised urgently
by congressional leaders to steer away
from the prohibition issue at the March
meeting of the committee.
In fact. the congressional leaders of
the party are almost united in their
determination that the committee is
without authority to adopt a platform
for the party on any issues.
Whether Mr.. RaSkob mas had any
intention Of bringing up prohibition or
other issues at the special committee
meeting has never been established,
but such plan has been rumored
widely.
Jouett Shouse, executive director,
failed to shed any light on it upon his
return to the Capital yesterday, only
remarking that the call for the meet
ing was broad enough in scope to per-
NIT discussion Of any policies.
Alarm in the congressional wing of
the party that issues were to be acted
upon was noted in a new warning
issued from Southern democracy in the
Senate yesterday. Senator Mcclellan
of Tennessee declared the Democrats
cannot win in 1882 ION a wet and high
tariff platform"
The Democratic drys are confident
of defeating any attempts to open up
the prohibition issue at the special
meeting, basing their fight solely on
the ground that the national commit
tee is without authority TO adopt a
party platform or to commit the party
on matters of policy
