Sixteen stations are maintain to which trained nurses are at- tached. In most of the settlements the nurse lives in quarters pro- vided for the teaching staff who meet the people in their own homes; study their problems and become their adviser.

$4,000 in Riot
Delay Movie
Premiere

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Jan. 81.
Police we're called out to quell a
riot at the premiere of the
Charles Chaplin picture, "City
Lights" here last night when a
milling mob of $4,000 persons
surged around the entrance to
the new Los Angeles Theater.
Police Reserves Called
The crowd battled police,
hoWled as 200 police reserves an
swered a riot call, smashed win
dows and leaped on limousine
running boards to gaze critically
at film stars and other celebrities.
Ambulances we're unable to ap-
proach within two blocks Of the
theater. The ambulances were
summoned to give first aid to a
boy who fell from second story
window and broke his arm; to 20
women who tainted in the crowd,
and to a traffic sergeant whose
hand was broken when the crowd
Surged against him.
A threat that tear gas bombs
would be used unless the crowd
became orderly was made by the
radio announcer. The threat was
ignored and drowned by cheers OF
the crowd. Acting Chief of Police
Bert Massey said that tear gas
bombs were not used.
Show Is Delayed
The performance, scheduled to
start at $50 p. m, was not under
way until 10 o'clock because OF in
ability of many famous persons to
battle through the crowd and at
tain their SeatS-Which cost. $40
each. DR.. Albert EinStein was
among the invited guests.
Women's clothing was torn and
trampled. One famous actress

shoulders. The coat was recov-
cred by her escort with police aid.

reported lost underfoot.

POLICE BEATEN
IN GAMBLING
TANGLE
Rover Backs Fitzpatrick in
Raid Mix-up; Bean View
Denied; Blame Is Shifted

The Police Department, in ef-
feet, threw down its arms today
in the Skirmish with the United
States Attorneys office over the
recent dismissal of half a dozen
gambling cases in Police Court.
Inspector Thaddeus r. Bean,
commander of the police vice
squads, declined to reply to q
statement Of United States Attor-
ney Leo A. Rover, which virtually
declared a report made by the
inspector regarding the dismissal
of the cases was false.
Mr.. Rover's statement entirely
absolved his assistant, John r.
Fitzpatrick, from blame in dis
missal of the cases and placed
the blame for the action squarely
on the doorstep Of Judge Ralph
Given of Police Court.
Report Called False
Upon reading published reports
Of a statement made by Inspector
Bean to his superiors, which
stated that Mr.. Fitzpatrick was to
blame for dismissal of the cases,
Mr.. Rover declared:
eff Inspector Bean is properly
quoted In the afternoon papers
to the effect that Mr.. Fitzpat-
rick insisted that these cases be
dismissed for want of prOsecU-
tiOn,' this statement is false.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick at no time asked
that the cases be dismissed.
They were dismissed by Judge
Given on his own motion be-
cause officers were not in the Z
court room at the time the cases
were called"
The heated tilt between the
police and the prosecutors office
began on Wednesday when the
six cases were dismissed.
Inspector Bean was assigned by
Major Henry Pratt, chief of po-
lice, to determine the cause of
the action and to take steps
against the policemen involved
if they were to blame.

D. c. LAW
Says Howell Measure viii
Cause Corruption Here; Cites
Crookedness in Other Places

A Shiny tale of corruption was
traced through every department
of the Government concerned with
the enforcement of the prohibi-
ton law by Senator John j.
Blaine (R) of Wisconsin speak
ing in the Senate this afternoon
on the Howell dry law enforce
ment code for the District.
The Wisconsin wet vigorously
attacked fraud and .crookedness
in Government departments, as
serting that if the Jealous prohi-
bitionists succeed in their pur-
pose in having the Army and
Navy take over enforcement these
two great departments also would
be corrupted.
Would Corrupt Police
To pass the Howell bill, Senator
Blaine charged, is to open the way
for corruption of the District
police force.
Senator Blaine said:
Congress IS called upon now
to spend days discussing this
Howell bin which, if 1t. is
enacted, will go the way Of all
prohibition bills and foster
crime and corruption"
Howell Seeks Action
Senator Blaine's speech was
brought forth when Senator Rob
ert B. Howell (R.) of Nebraska,
obtained the floor at the opening
of the session and moved to take
up his dry bill.
The sending of IL former GUS
toms border patrolmen to prison
and their revelation Of corruption
in the service was cited by, Sena-
tor Blaine as evidence of condl-
tions in enforcement agencies.
Senator Blaine declared:
"A law, the enforcement Of
which is brought about by
spies, is a bad and immoral
law and is bound to bring
about corruption.
"The time has come to take
inventory of the Government
and to recognize the agencies
into which corruption has
