The embargo proposed on Rus
sian convict products in the Ken
dali bill, amending the tariff act,
was overshadowed at the Senate
Finance Committees hearing I
the measure by indications that
the lumber, mining and oil indus
tries would seek general embar-
goes on foreign products in COM
petition with American petroleum,
coal and lumber, and by a protest
of cigar manufacturers against
placing any embargo on imports of
Sumatra tobacco. These develop
ments reduced the chances Of
speedy action on the bill by the
Senate, and it was thought that
advocates of other types of en-
bargoes might insist on barring
products not contemplated in the
Kendall measure. The bill would
exclude after April /, all products
handled abroad by forced or in.
dentured labor, and tightens tbs
restrictions to include products
handled in transit or loaded OF
vessels by such labor.

A lot of people are disguised
with the inconsistencies of the
Wickersham report. The famous
commission did not face the music.
So, dramatically, the stage is all
set for a wet declaration by the
Democratic Party. Enter Mr.. Ras-
kob. Not only that, but there is
perhaps just a chance that by
delay the Democrats will lose the
chance to capitalize the wet SER
timent in the country. 1t is al
most certain after Mr.. Hoover's
message transmitting the Wicker
sham report, that the Republican
Party will be as dry as it was in
1928. But nothing is certain
which depends upon human life
and human purposes. So if tue
Democratic Party is going to be
wet in 1882, the sooner the Demo
Gratis let the world know it the
better.

Transfer to the Senate by the
Wickersham Commission of prohi-
bition data on some of the 16
States omitted from the mater
ial already sent to the Capitol was
assured by members of the COM
mission. While it was said at COM
mission headquarters that data
was lacking on conditions in six
States or so, the remaining re-
ports available are to be forwarded
to the Senators. Thirty-two
Safes were covered in the infor-
nation sent last week. The new
material deals with some States
where anti-prohibition sentiment
is very apparent-such as New
York and Illinois. Omission Of
some of the available data from
the original consignment was said
at the commission to have occurred
through an inadvertence.

After amending it in such a way
as to leave it's acceptance in the
Senate and it's submission to the
States for ratification in doubt,
the House passed by vote of 2S9
to SO the Norris resolution chang
ing the Constitution so as to end
lame duck sessions of Congress.
The resolution requires the new
Congress to meet in January fol-
lowing its election in November.
1t was the first time any Consti-
tutional provision approximating
the proposal of Senator Norris had
ever received the necessary two
thirds majority in the House. The
wording of the House amendment
differed in may respects from that
which passed the Senate a year
and half ago, but the principal
change was the one which was re-
garded as most likely to kill the

sored by Speaker Longworth to

suggestions that he might be in
volved in lobbying for a low sugar
rate during consideration of the
Tariff Bill, Senator Davis, Of
Pennsylvania, appeared before the
Senate Lobby Committee and urg
ed an exhaustive investigation of
the insinuations. The Pennsylvan-
ian made a blanket denial that he
had ever lobbied for or against a
sugar tariff or that he had ever
received any money or anything
of value for any such alleged SER
vices" In demanding full and
complete inquiry into the publish
ed charges which did not, however,
mention him in any way, but which
said that Senator had taken be-
tween 100000 and S150,000 as a
"gift" for alleged lobbying, Sena-
tor Davis made it clear that he
believed he was the Senator again

All need for an extra session Of
Congress has passed. The threats
of insurgents have dwindled down
to nothing, for Congress has acted
upon nearly every urgent meas,
ure before it. Only few bills
demanding immediate attention re-
main to be considered. Congress
has ample time to dispose of them.
Chances of holding up apropria-
ton bills to force the President to
call an extra session are now neg
lig-ible. The House cleared its
calendar of the annual appropria-
ton bills when it passed the sec
ond deficiency bill. The Senate
passed final judgement on supply
bills for the Postoffice, War and
Agricultural Departments as well
as on the District appropriation
bill. These measures have gone
to President Hoover for signature.
Only the Navy appropriation bill
and the second deficiency bill a.
wait final action. The last def
cheney bill may be held up for a
few days to include any last-min-
ute items that might be needed to
finance the Government for the
coming year.

Z PLANS ACTION

The local George Washington
Bicentennial Commission is slated
to swing into real action next
week.
Headquarters are to be opened
at TIA Seventeenth st. N. w. A
skeleton staff will be installed to
organize the work.
A director Of pageantry, ArOnld
KruCkman, of Los Angeles, has
|bbeen chosen, and his appoint
ment will be announced in the
near future. He probably will re-
ceive a salary of $4,000 a year.
The post of managing director
has not yet been filled, and
probably will not be for some
weeks to come. In the meantime,
DR.. Cloyd H. Marvin, president
of George Washington University,
and chairman of the executive
committee, will remain in charge
of all the commissions work.
y The deIay in selecting a man.
aging director is due chiefly to
the difficulty of fl ding the right
man-prefcrably one chosen from
the ranks of local civic leaders.
It became known tOday that
strong pressure is being put upon
the sal commission to appoint
"Iame duck" former member
of Congress for the place.

HOOVERS HOSTS
To 300 VETS

Disabled veterans of three wars
gathered on the south lawn OF
the White House yesterday at the
annual garden party to hear
words of cheer from President
and Mrs. Hoover.
Of the 800 veterans, many were
in wheel chairs, many hobbled
about on crutches, while all bore
marks Of war.
The Comma ander in Chief
paused first at the row of men
in wheel chairs. Among them
was A. D. Stern. of California
who said he was going back home
pretty soon. The President smiled
and said:
Fine. I'm not a native, but
I've lived there long enough to
know that's the best place for
a disabled veteran. 1t isn't
often q Californian can be
happy anywhere else very long,"
Colorful costumes Of the women
who have devoted themselves to
Frightening the lives of the in.
jured soldiers dotted the lawn.
Included were daShes of red from
the wells of the Red Cross work
ers; the blue of the Blue Veil
Ladies and the more somber COL
ors of the Gray Ladies of Walter
Reed Hospital.
A group of Civil War veterans
present was led by Gen. John L.

GAMING WAR

Although the special squads
from headquarters which have
been visiting all known gambling
and bootlegging establishments
in the downtown district and ar
resting employees of the "big
shots" on vagrancy charges,
worked assiduously all day yes
terday, their efforts were prac-
tically nil.
big Shots" Disappear
All of the more prominent
gamblers and bootleggers have
been missing from their usual
haunts during the past week and
places where hundreds of dollars
were wagered each day are
closed.
Before the campaign was
started the ball park used to be
the rendezvous of many of the
local gamblers who would lay a
bet on almost anything, provided
the odds were right. Three mem
berS Of the "warrantless raid"
squad, headed by Detective Ser
geant Howard Ogle, visited the
ball park yesterday in the hope
some of the big fellows" might
be on hand, but none was in evi-
dence.
Police Continue Drive
Despite the fact the warrant
less raid cases and the vagrancy
arrest cases have met delay in
Police Court, members of the
squad said yesterday they intend
to ferret out every known gambler
and bootlegger in the city.
Until yesterday the activities of
the raiders were confined to the

TON PACT
STARTS PROBE
Of COAL MEN
Department of Justice Scans
Situation Here to Ascertain
If Trust Law Is Violated

Possibility of violation of the
antitrust laws by Washington
coal dealers is being studied by
the Department of Justice, it was
learned today.
Agents of the department, it
was ascertained. have been quietly
at work for several days gather.
ing information as to the meth.
DDS of the coal dealers, their re-
latiOnShips with one another and
their relationships with coal pro-
ducers shipping to the Washing
ton market.
Comment Is Withheld
While the work Of the depart
ment has no direct connection
with the squabble which has
arisen over the announcement
several months ago that local
dealers intended to substitute the
2,0O0-pound unit for the long ton,
it was this move which attracted
the attention of the department
to conditions here.
Officials declined to comment
on what has thus far been un-
earthed regarding conditions.
They declared that no statement
on this phase would be made until
the department had concluded its
work.
Agreement Is Indicated
The study is being made by men
in the office of John Lord
O'Brian, Assistant to the Attorney
General in charge of antitrust
prosecutions.
The point has been made that
the unanimity of local coal mer.
chants in switching to the 1000
pound unit in April and their ap-
parent unanimity in announcing
a new scale of prices for summer
sales, would tend to show at least
close cooperation among them.
