In Britain 10000 weavers have
started the kind of strike that, in
the long run, can never succeed.
They are not striking against lower
wages; on the contrary, better
wages are offered them. They are
striking against an arrangement
that would enable each man, with
out overwork, to take care of eight
looms instead of four, and earn
more. They say that if one man
takes care of eight looms that will
put other men out of work.

CASE
LIES ANGER
POLICE
Hiding of Trunk Latest
Effort to Halt Probe of
Battling Murder Mystery

Police are disgusted with the
attitude Of concealment taken by
every person connected with the
Limerick case, and by the tissue of
lies that has been found in the
testimony Of almost every person
questioned about the killing.
The latest development of con-
cealment in the case was brought
to light on the stand at the in.
quest yesterday when it was ad.
mitted that Mrs. Dora Limerick,
mother of the slain girl, filled
a trunk with the girls posses
sions and had It sent to her
home at 116 North Carolina
Ave. S. E.
Police Get the Trunk
Police went there last night
and seized the trunk.
In it they found a package Of
love letters to the dead girl, and
they are examining these letters
in the hope that they may re-
veal some motive for the battling
murder.
Besides the letters, police dis
covered a makeup box with vari-
GUS cosmetics to which no previous
reference had been made.
1t was recalled that DIR. Lyman
Greene, ambulance surgeon who
pronounced the girl dead, testified
that her face had been made up
when he arrived at the house.
This was Indignantly denied by
members of the family.
Satterthwaite in jam
Capt. Edward Kelly today indi-
Gated that he might file charges
with Chief of Police Pratt against
Policeman William B. Satterth-
waite, of No. precinct, who was
called to the stand yesterday.
Captain Kelly declared that
Officer Satterthwaite had told
him that he was at the under
taking parIOrs when Policeman
Robert F. LangdOn visited the
place to view the dead girls body,
and that Langdon was so nervous
and upset that his actions
aroused suspicious that he might
have had some connection with
the girls death.
On the witness stand yesterday,
however, Policeman Satterthwaite
was very conservative in his testi-
mony and did not recall making
the statements attributed to him
by investigators.
Mystery Phone Call
Another mysterious angle of the
case will be testimony to be intro
duced that someone from the dead
girls house telephoned to an un-
identified party and warned him
to keep your mouth shut"
Samuel Friedlander, who con-
ducts a grocery store near the
slain girls house, will testify that
the morning of her death two
men and a woman came to the
store and made number Of
telephone calls.

minority report, assailing the

Tinkham'S Report
Quoting Mr.. Woodcock's testi-
mony that prevention of home
brew is difficult, Representative
Tinkham said:
at was also admitted to the
committee that a private dwell
ing was immune from search
even if it was known liquor was

no sale was made, from which
admission it was concluded and
Is beyond contradiction every

Explaining the bureaus policy,
Director Woodcock said:
1--WE are directing our forces
against commercial violations,
against the traffic in intOxicat-
ing liquors. We are not making
any effort to apprehend private
viOlat0rs Of the law. There are
so many constitutional Difficult
ties, the task would be an i'm
possible one to apprehend pri-
vate viOlatOrS. But we think we
can stop the open traffic in in
tOxicating liquor by developing
the force we have, and the force
we expect to get, into as
thoroughly and efficient and
loyal investigators, and with
such aid as we can get from the
State and local authorities"
Mr.. Mitchell emphasized that

Radiates Wave Of Optimism.
Secretary Melons proclaimed inten-

French attitude toward the Hoover

Of optimism in well informed quarters
today.
This was heightened by the expecta-
ton that Chancellor Bruening and For

would come here within a week or 10
days to meet with French officials for
q discussion Of mutual differences, fore
shadowing the most promising epoch in
Franco-German relations since the
World War.
Mr.. Mellon said on his arrival that
he had received instructions In London
Ito do what have done," undoubtedly
referring to his conferences with British

announcement. He added that he had
come here for the same reason and

Except for criticism Of Foreign Min

there direct to the ministry of the in

made no definite plans for the remain

Of the talk with the French ministers.
While his plans were undecided, 1t
was believed possible Mr.. Mellon would
attend the debate in the Chamber If
invited, but the embassy said nothing

In view Of the fact that the text of
the order Of the day has been drawn
up by moderates it Is believed the de-
bate will be marked by a revival of the

on the point Of adhesion to the Young

The order Of the day reads: "The

served by favoring cooperation between
nations to the detriment at times of
our own interest, is taking the act Of
