 VICINITY ARE KILLED
 BY LARGE BROWN BEAR

Brown bear may be only pets to Stewart Edward White, but they are a menace to the livestock of the Strawberry Point farmers in the Juneau vicinity, declared Bert Parker, one of the pioneer home Steaders of that district, who was Ia Juneau visitor recently, says the Empire.
 Ten days ago one of our finest COWS was killed by a bear within 400 yards of the house." MT. Par ker said This is the sixth ami nal to be lost by the Parkers through attacks by bears.
 This killing is apparently done from pure Wantonness," he said. Usually the neck and back both are broken and the stock mauled. But in no instance has the bear doing the killing attempted to eat the flesh"

Why be handicapped with unsightly blotches on the face, eyes with yellow tinge and that tired and languid feel ing? This indicates torpid liver.

EX-M'CRORY AIDE
Former Assistant Manager
Coming Here to Face
Third Suspect.

Investigation of Alton Swans alleged
connection with the $1,000 hold-up at
McCrory's Five and Ten Cent Store, AIS
Seventh street. last August 7, was being
delayed by headquarters detectives to-
day pending the arrival here of Earl
Flory, former assistant manager of the
store, who recently was transferred to
Aiken, S. C.
Flory, one of the two employees robbed
by the quartet of bandits has been noti-
fed of Swans apprehension and is ex-
pected in the Capital shortly to view
the third suspect arrested in the dar-
ing daylight hold-up, which was staged
as Flory and Harvey w. Smith, 20-year-
old messenger, were leaving the store
to deposit the days receipts at the
Second National Bank.
Swan, who is 80 years old, has a
lengthy police record in Baltimore.
where he was captured Tuesday night
by Detective Sergt. Thomas Nally and
two Baltimore detectives, it was learned
today. Outstanding on his record, po-
lice say, is a f1ve-year penitentlary
term which he served for holding up
and robbing a Baltimore chain grocery
with the aid of an accomplice.
Say Series Planned in Prison.
It was while confined in prison, de-
tectives say, that Swan met John 1rv-
ing, one of the two men convicted in
the McCrory hold-up, and planned a
series of robberies, one of which was
the McCrory lob" Irving and Henry
Machlinskey, the other men convicted,
are now serving fve-year terms. Like
Swan, they hail from Baltimore.
The latest suspect is the victim OF
violation of the underworld code.
police say. Detectives declared that
following the arrest and conviction of
Irving and Machlinskey, through trac-
ing the ownership of the automobile
used in the holdup to Irving. the two
prisoners "squealed" on Swan and a
fourth man, still at large.
Seized on Bench Warrant.
On the strength of information OBJ
tanned from the first pair, an indict-
ment was obtained against Swan a
short time after the hold-up. He was
taken into custody at 225 South Castle
street in Baltimore. where he made his
home with his wife. on a bench war
rant sworn to by Chief Justice Alfred
G. Wheat Of the District Supreme
Court.
Swan. protesting innocence to the
crime, was lodged in a cell at the first
precinct station after being returned
from Baltimore yesterday afternoon by
Sergt. Nally. He will be held there
until Flory arrives to view him.

BRIDE DISCUSSES
D. c. LEGISLATION
Tells Bar Association of Diff
ficuIties of Obtaining Ac-
ton by Congress.

The difficulty of securing legislative
action for the District of Columbia in
Congress was explained by Corporation
Counsel William w. Bride at a NEST
ing of the Federal Bar Association last
night at the University Club. After
congressional committees have spent
protracted periods of study and in
vsstigation on District measures, the
bills come up and it takes practically
unanimous consent to get any of them
through he said.
He pointed out that at the first SEES
sion of the last Congress 3 hours and 40
minutes were devoted to District mat
ters on the floor, and less than 2i2
hours in the second session. These
figures do not include the time ~spcnt
on appropriation bills.
Praises Work of Committees.
Mr.. Bride said: "Of course. it is
we'll known that thu District of Coium-
bia must depend upon Congress not
only for national legislation, but for all
legislation needed for municipal admin
istration. The committees of Congress
directly related to the District of Co
lumbia including the Subcommitt es on
appropriations of both Houses, have
worked long and earnestly to improve
conditions here, and the hearings before
LneSe committees as well as the 1nVeSt1-
cation by the members of the commit
tees have been most exhaustive
Congress is so much engross d in the
affairs OF the Nation and the world that
the committees find it difficult to get
time on the floor for consideration of
the matters uron which they have done
a great deal of work INDEED, it is re-
markable, in view of the small amount
of time actually devoted on the floor
to District matters, that we have been
as successful as we have bscn in the
last year. and we have every reason to
believe. with the continued assistance

the Lee Highway through the Van
Every property in Arlington County, be
dissolved.
Pickett stated today that, while he
has not yet had an opportunity to read
the bill of complaint, he Is preparing
to ask the dissolution of the Injunction
on the grounds that it was IMPROVE
IDENTIFY awarded and that the plaintiff
is not entitled to the relief asked
He also will file an answering cross

Every family and the National Boule-
ward Association, to grant a free right

Pact Will Not Be Necessary.
A transatlantic telephone converse
ton brought Secretary Stimson assur-
ances Yesterday that satisfactory prog
ress was being made in Europe toward
completing the Franco-Italian naval
accord.
The Secretary talked for more than
Is minutes with Charles G. Dawes,
Ambassador to Great Britain and Sena-
tor Dwight w. Morrow of New Jersey.
After the conversation the Secretary
said il appeared that American partici-
patton on a committee to draft the
Franco-Italian settlement would be I'M
necessary.
Suggestions presented to the British
foreign Office for the Secretary by Dawes
and Morrow were believed here to have
eliminated necessity of such action.
It was considered possible that the
final draft might neceSsitate only the
signatures of France and Italy. The
question Of British signature is still one
for determination.
While the use of the transatlantic
telephone was not unprecedented so far
as Stimson's talking with representatives
abroad was concerned, the length Of
the conversation was unusual. The call
was placed in London by Senator
Morrow.
