OKLAHOMA OIL SUIT
KEPT IN U. S. COURT
Federal Judge Rules Tax Action
Against Texas Corporation Is
in His Jurisdiction.
By the Associated Press.

q
MUSKOGEE, Okla, october IL
Judge Robert E. Lewis Of The United
States Circuit Court late yesterday ruled
that receivership action brought by the
State of Oklahoma against the Lone
Star Gas Corporation was a matter OF
exclusive Federal jurisdiction.
When the Lone Star interests started
action to place the suit in Federal,
rather than in a State court. Gov. w.
H. Murray said he would use Oklahoma
National Guar6smen. If necessary, to
prevent a Federal trial.
Suit against the gas company. which
has headquarters in Texas, was filed
in State District Court at Waurika,
seeking a receivership and Judgment of
1865, 095 for alleged failure to report

The distinction of being the

place at 1902 yesterdy morning at
Sibley Hospital.
OF the total number born, eight

PROCTOR, HIT 7
WIN APPROVAL

Favorable reprots on nomina
tions of two local judgeships were
made today by the Senate Judi
ciary Committee, while action on
another was delayed because of
hearings now in progress.
The Judiciary committee or
dered favorable reports on the
nomination of James M. Proctor,
local attorney to be judge of the
District Supreme Court, and upon
the nomination of Judge Isaac R.
Hit, for reappointment to the 10
cal Police Court.
Mcmahon Opposed
In the meantime. sub-commit-
tee headed by Senator William H.
King Cd of Utah held further
hearing on the nomination Of
Judge John P. Mcmahon for re-
appointment to the Police Court.
Judge McMahOn's nomination
is being protested by a group of
lawyers who claim that he is
harsh and arbitrary in his rulings.
Opponents of Judge Mcmahon
today placed in the record of the
hearings a copy Of a record in
a case dating back to 1925.
Albert Stern, leading the oppo-
sition to Judge Mcmahon, in
serted the record which shows
that on September IT, 1925, the
case before Judge Mcmahon was
continued for five days to allow
attorneys to cite authorities on
a motion for new trial.
Case "Just Disappears"
The record shows that no
further action has been taken on
the case, there being no identifi-
cation on the records as to dispo-
sition of the motion or of SEN
tence.
T. Morris Wampler, an at
torney, testified today that he op-
poses McMahon's nomination be-
cause of his arbitrary manner.

SKY BILLS
FACE FAILURE
IN HOUSE
Way Paved For Action on
Them at Next Session;
Traffic Bill to Be O. KID

TIL outlook for the tag-ends of
District legislation in the ~emain-
ing days of Congress is dubious,
particularly in the House.
An eleventh-hour drive in the
Senate to bring blue sky" legisla-
tion to the fore is doomed to fail
in the lower chamber, owing chief
ly to lack of time. The Blaine mea-
sures, however, probably will oc-
cupy a preferred position on the
House calendar in the next ses.
sion, paving the way for their
passage at that time.
The conference report on the
District Traffic Bill already has
been adopted by the House, de-
spite the opposition of Represen.
tative Blanton CD of Texas. and
favorable action upon it in the
Senate is expected.
To Sign Fare Bill
If this legislation is enacted,
Corporation Counsel Bride will
Immediately ask Congress for an
appropriation of $4,000 to estab-
lish the new Department of Traf-
fic. This sum probably will be
carried in the final deficiency
measure, to be passed by Con-
gress early next week.
The conference report on the
so-called Billboard Bill also may
be adopted this week, despite op-
position to it in the Senate.
Both houses have acted upon
the measure providing a three
cent fare for school children, and
the bill probably will be sent to
the White House tomorrow.
President Hoover is expected to
sign it without delay.

1 President Hoover attended
services in historic old Christ
Episcopal Church in Alexandria
yesterday, the church where
George WASHINGTON was a vestry.
man and pewholder, where his
presence so disturbed the devo-
tions of scores of members Of
the ancient parish that a munich
pal row impendS. "
1t all started when, learning
that President and Mrs. Hoover
expected to attend the services,
several hundred WashingtOnianS
went down to Alexandria to share
the honor.
Policemen on the Scene
In addition, the Washington
Society of Alexandria, an organi-
zation founded in 1900. also at
tended the ritual which was in
the nature of a memorial for
the first President.
So the church was filled long
before the service was scheduled
to start at II o'clock.
A dozen Alexandria policemen
had been ordered on duty at the
edifice, and when the church 7aS
filled they closed the gates to
the churchyard and refused to
allow any one to enter.
At 1850 the rector, the Rev.
William Jackson Morton, came
to the church. He was refused
admittance. In vain he argued
with a policeman at the gate
that he was the rector and was
scheduled to preach to the
President. The policeman told
him to move on.
Arrived Just in Time
Finally DR.. Morton was recog.
nized by some one in authority
and was allowed to enter just in
time to don his vestmentS.
Mrs. Morton, the rectOr's wife,
came to the entrance a few min
utes later and was refused ad-
mittance. She protested that she
must enter, and was also in
formed that she could not.
Finally one of the vestrymen
saw her waiting outside, and per-
suaded the officer that she should
be allowed to enter.
Meanwhile, scores of members
of the parish and pewhOlders
came at their regular time only
to be turned back by the police.
They entered indignant protests,
yet were forced to leave the his
tOric church.
There was no room inside.
The Washington times., 1931-02-23

The days of chivalry-or J
may have been caution-were re-
vived last night when holdup
man stripped a woman OF her
valuables but returned the loot
when he recognized her about the
same time she recognized him.
That is the report made to
police by Mrs. Anna Nichols, 305
G St. N. w.. who said that as
she was returning home she was
stopped at Third Street and In
diana Avenue Northwest by a tall
man who asked her to change $40
for him.
Told to Forget 1t"
While directing the stranger
to a nearby drug store, Mrs.
Nichols said another man, neatly
dressed and of sheiky appearance,
came along and Ieveled a re-
vOlver at her directing her to
"stick 'em up"
AS she handed over her purse
and wrist watch Mrs. Nichols
recognized the man as one she
once had met at a dance. At the
same time he recalled her face
and handed back the watch and
purse and told her to forget
about this"
Woman Is Threatened
Mrs. Nichols then appealed to
the tall man to go to the station
house with her but she said he
refused on the ground that he
did not want to turn anyone in.
He later threatened her with dire
consequences if she reported the
case to the police. The scene
of the holdup is less than two
blocks from police headquarters.

PACIFIC COAST
B|DSFOR US.
SCHOOLS
California offers 10000
Acres For New Annapolis
Or West Point Sites There

Proposals for the partial or com
plete removal of the West Poirt
Military and the Annapolis Naval
academies from their present loca-
tions are likely to become "live
issues" in the next session of Con
gress, it was learned today.
The plan Of splitting-up the
Annapolis Academy, so that sup
Elemental naval training school
can be set up on the Pacific Coast,
as suggested by Representative
Kahn (R. )of California, will have
the solid backing of Western men,
bers of Congress, and it's consid-
Grafton will be pressed.
Officials Not Worried
Army and Navy officials make
light of the projected legislation,
calling it impracticable, but no
such attitude is shown on Capt.
tol Hill, where cOgent arguments
in favor of establishing an IAN
mex" to the Annapolis school on
the Western coast are being ad'
vanced.
Representative Kahn says that
California would be glad to furn-
ish gratis an adequate site for
the establishment of either a
military or a. naval academy in
that State.
Backing up this statement, Gov
ernor Rolph, of the Golden Gate
State, has already wired an Of
fer of 10000 acres from Cali
fOrnia as the site for either a
new West Point or an Annapolis
school in the State.
Gown Backs Army
Another bill supporting the
plan has been introduced by Rep
resentative McSwain CD of
South Carolina. This authorizes
the Secretary of War to invite
offers or inducement, either in
real estate or money, for the
erection of the extension" Of the
West Point Academy at another
undesignated location.
The movement to transfer, in
whole or in part, the West Point
Academy is based upon the diff
culties which the War Depart
ment officials are now experienc-
ing in expanding their present
site to provide for aviation and
artillery fields. The town of
Highland Falls, N. ". is resisting
legislation which would enable
the Academy to take over lands
and estates within its jurisdiction.
The California plan for sup
Elemental naval academy origi-
mates in the growing, Importance
of the Pacific as a base for the
American fleet. 1t will be the
subject of extended inquiry by
naval officers in advance of the
next Congress, it was stated to,
day.

Held Mere Printing

The Federal Trade Commission
yesterday ordered Walter Howton
and Max Leohart, Chicago, de-
velopers of the Nu-Process Method
to cease misrepresentation of a
process of printing allegedly ad-
vertised as engraving and to
deslst from advertising themselves
as engravers unless they are act
ually in the engraving business.
The commission declared that
the so-called Nu-ProceSs Method
is not a method of engraving, but
of printing, requiring no engrav-
ing, incision, or cuts upon metal
