Won1en's Clubs Use Dues for Relief Of UnemDLOyed

WASHINGTON, March 24.- Women's clubs unable to pay their dues are being kept in good standing by the general federation of women's clubs as an aid in the unemployment situation.
 The money from these unpaid dues is being used by many clubs to help in their own com munities, say officials of the federation. Where the club members themselves or their families are among the unem- ployed, the dues remain uncol- Iected to aid in buying family necessities.

SEATTLE COUNCIL BLOCKS MOVES BY MAYOR EDWARDS
Ne,u York's Inuesti gator Flooded by Jobs

NEW YORK, March 24.-Samuel Seabury, investigator of New York's muddy stories of graft and corrup- tion is one of New York's most in- dependent public men.
 And one of it's eminently respect able citizens.
 These qualities are combining to make him one of the city's busiest officials, and his fellow citizens rely upon him more and more to settle growing doubts about some of their other officials.
 As a judge of the Court of Ap- peals, he was first assigned to in- vestigate the conduct of the Magis- trates' courts.
 His inquiry brought forth shock ing accusations regarding bonds men and bribes, crooked lawyers and crafty judges, spying men straying girls, grating police and official incompetence or impotence.
 These tales brought about de- mand for an investigation of the office of District Attorney Thomas c. T. Grain. This task, too, was laid on Judge Seabury's shoulders by Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 On top of this several groups of citizens prepared proposals that Judge Seabury should be given the still greater task of Investigating every department of the city gov- ernment.
 By ancestry he is far removed from all such sordidness as his in- vestigations of the Magistrates

Star Staf Photo.

Arrested through the efforts Of po-
lice serving as informers, 16 persons
were arraigned in Police Court yester-
day for violations of the prohibition
law. All demanded jury trials before
Judge Robert E. Mattingly.
David A. Hart, assistant District at
torney in charge of enforcing the dry
law, declared that he considered the
cases "iron-clad" inasmuch as police
has made several buys" in each case
and because regular informers were not
used. AS result he charged nine of
the persons with selling liquor in addi-
ton to the customary charge of pos
session.
The cases were made by Sergt. N. o.
Holmes and his vice squad, consisting
of Policemen T. NJ. McVearrv, H. G..
Wanamaker and F. o. Brass. Nc
Weary and Wanamaker acted as in
formers.
MY contention all along has been"
said Mr.. Hart, that the best way to
make cases was to use police to pur-
chase the liquor desired to obtain a
search warrant. It ruins a case for the
Government the moment an informer
takes the witness stand. No jury will
believe them in view of recent happen
ings down here"

Arth tells Of visit to Mrs. Hender-
son on March 2 in his capacity as

help her answer his questions, Mr.. Arth
says.
She referred to Shima as her lawyer.
but the Japanese said he was only her
secretary, Arth explains.

AIR COOLING DUCTS
ORDERED IN PLANS
FOR D. c. BUILDING
Later Installation of System
for Municipal Center Is
Anticipated.
$500, 900 IS AVAILABLE
TO PAY $780, 900 COST
Months Delay in Redrafting Due
as Result of Change-0ther

The District Commissioners yester-
day ordered the plans for the first
unit Of the new Municipal Center
buildings changed to allow subsequent
installation of an air-cooling system
for the building.
the one building, the same course
probably viii be followed with respect
to others to be constructed later. The
first building will contain the Police,
Municipal and Juvenile Courts, the Of
flee Of the recorder of deeds and the
Police Departments headquarters.
VIII Delay Plans for Month.
The city heads recently ordered
Municipal Architect Albert L. Harris
to report on the feasibility of includ-
ing a cooling system in the plans for
the building. His report was favor
able.
The changes in plans, by which the
necessary ducts viii be left for the
later installation Of the system, will
the final completion of the plans. The
system win cost about 100000, Of
which 100000 Is now available.
VIII Need Appropriation.
Special legislation must be obtained
before the other 100000 can be OBJ
tanned, and 1t is believed that the
cooling system will not be put in until
after the other construction work is
completed.
The decision undoubtedly was infiu-
enced by the decision of Federal ON
Gals to include cooling systems in

TURN DOWN PRISON
SHIRTS FOR POLICE
Commissioners Rule Against
Convict-Made Garments
for Department.

Washington policemen will not be
asked. to wear convict-made shirts, the
District Commissioners decided yester-
day.
The suggestion that the task of max
ing shirts for policemen, which are paid
for out of public funds, be turned over
to the prisoners at the reformatory at
Lorton, Va, was made in a report by
the Bureau of Efficiency, which is in
terested in the development of tndu-
tries In that institution. District pris-
onerS now make grey metal castings,
automobile tags, bricks and operate a
farm and an orchard, besides doing
the laundry work for most of the Dis
trict and Federal institutions requir-
ing 1t.
The suggestion that the prisoners also
make the policemen's shirts, however,
was not accepted readily by the depart
nnent. The Policemen'S Association, an
unofficial organization, went on record
as opposed to the idea, and Maj. Henry
G. Pratt made report strongly con-
demning the idea. He said it would be
destructive OF morale for the force to
wear convict-made shirts.
The shirts will be bought through
contractors. There is an order now in
for 1900 shirts, but it is being held up
pending tests of material submitted by
q contractor. The Bureau OF Standards
is conducting the tests to see If the
cloth is pre-shrunk, as required by the
specifications.
