TIME
IN ALEXANDRIA

The voting precincts in Alex
andria will open at 6:01 a. m.
and close at 6:38 p. m. tomorrow
for the election to determine
whether the city will continue
with the at-large plan of electing
councilmen or will elect council
man from each ward and three
at-large.
Advocates of both plans are
claiming victory although the pro-
ponents of the ward plan are be-
Ieved to have a slight edge. At
least $500 ballots are expected
to be cast.
The women's vote is expected
to be the prevailing factor, with
a large number of them voting
for the ward plan on account of
the failure of the present council
to provide adequate school facili-
ties.

She then directed all of the
children to form a line at the
foot of the stairway where ser
wants had placed a small table
topped by a huge Easter basket.
Bareheaded and wearing a tan
sport coat, Mrs. Hoover took up
her post by the table and dis
tributed the eggs.
Earlier in the morning the
crowd had huddled in the shelter
of the south portico for protec-
ton against the weather, re-
fusing to venture on the wet
grass.
But with the first sign of clear
skies, the children broke away
from their guardians and flocked
upon the lawns with their gaily
colored baskets of eggs and
Easter goodies.
By noon the crowd had in
creased considerably in volume
over the few hundred harder
souls already there.
Program in White House
The program of folk dances
planned by Mrs. Hoover for the
morning was postponed until the
First Lady thought it safe to per.
nit the juvenile dancers on the
grass.
Her specially invited guests,
children from official circles, were
entertained inside the White
House with an assortment Of
gifts, cake and lemonade in the
state dining room and music by
the United States Marine Band.
The first part of the outdoor
program was staged about noon,
with the promise that the after
noon schedule, unless the weather
changed for the worse, would be
followed according to previous an
nouncementS.
At the zoo, where many OF
Washington's egg rollers are &C
customed to gather, the crowd was
small. BY noon only a handful
of children had assembled on
their favorite hill, near the Lion
House.

SENATE HEARS
TARIFF BILL
ATTACKED
Smoot- HawIey Act Saved Ma
ton From Ruin, Says
Vandenberg

The Senate debated the
tariff today when Senator
Vandenberg (R.) of Michigan,
started a Republican attack
on the new Democratic tariff
measure, which proposes to
strip President Hoover of all
power to change rates.
He rallied go industrialiSts to
the Republican cause, quoting
them as saying the Smoot-Hawley
tariff act had saved the nation
from greater unemployment dur
ing the present world economic
crisis. He read kilograms from
leaders in a score of industries,
declaring the tariff wall had pre-
vented inundation of this nation
by cheap foreign products.
tariff Hitch -Hikers"
Vandenburg chided the Demo
Gratis for supporting tariffs on
their home products while assail-
ing the tariff act as a whole. He
called them tariff hitch-hikers. !"
He added:
"They are liable to assault
you before the ride is ended.
They are calculated to sue you
if injured during the ride, and
they add nothing to the admin
istratiOn. Beware of tariff hitch
mixers"
The Democrats sat silent. Then
Vandenberg read tariff tributes
from manufacturers and indus
trialists. He also read some mes,
sages of praise for the tariff from
manufacturers of glass, shoes,
lumber, tool steel, electro-metal,
watches and cotton goods. He
asked:
Tariff Not to Blame
What becomes of the charge
that the present tariff law is
responsible for unemployment?
Unemployment, far from being
traceabIe to tariffs would have
been infinitely greater and in
finitely more of a burden on
the people were it not for the
tariffs"

ported highly elated over the
prospects of the Norfolk lead,
police pretended to remain skep-
tical of it's value, at least in Off
cial bulletins, one of which read:
Colonel Lindbergh has no
knowledge of developments at
Norfolk. AS previously stated,
he does not believe the infOr.
nation at Norfolk is of specific
significance in the caSe."
H. Norman SchwarZkopf, super
intendent of police, professed ig.
norance concerning this phase Of
the hunt for the kidnapers. He
said:
"NO reports have been re-
ceived from any Virginia or
Maryland authorities as to any
investigation they may be con-
ducting in connection with this
case"
These statements have no sig
nificance, however, for Colonel
Lindbergh apparently is negotiat-
ing without the aid of the police
and desires secrecy to prevent
breaking off of the negotiations.
Gang Search Continues
Search for Harry FleiScher, of
Detroit's purple gang, and Able
Wagner, New York gangster, con-
tinued throughout the country.
SchWarzkopf said the mere fact
the men were not seen since
shortly before the kidnapping and
that they had failed to report to
police for questioning concerning
their recent movements was
enough to place them under Sus-
picion.

LindyS Bar Callers
Reports of babies resembling
the missing Charles Augustus
Lindbergh, jr., 81 months old,
seen on vessels leaving New York
continue to be investigated, so
far without results.
The Lindberghs spent Easter
Sunday without receiving a single
visitor. Mrs. Dwight w. Morrow,
Mrs. Lindbergh's mother, and
Col. and Mrs. Henry Brecken-
ridge spent the day at the Hope
well estate.
Mrs. Agnes Morrow Scandrett,
aunt Of Mrs. Lindbergh, planned
to start from Boston for New
Jersey today. She arrived from
abroad yesterday. She brought

many toys for the baby. having
bought them before she received
news Of the child's abduction.
GangSters Alert
Rumors were current today
that big city racketeers from
coast to coast were gathering
here to discuss means of return
ing the kidnapped baby to his
parents. 1t was reported the
racketeers are under orders
from AL Capone, in Jail in Chi

ant, Ted Newberry, when the
latter sets a time.

it is said, he has been seen in

know the result of the minister's
discussions with Lindbergh until
DR.. Peacock returned to Norfolk.
Telephone Tapped
He pointed out that telephone
leak had been discovered in the
twenty.one-minute conversation
via phone between himself and
Colonel Lindbergh a weeks ago
and that as a result the three
emiSSarieS had decided not to use
the telephone again.
Curtis said that he and Ad-
miral Burrage had decided that
one representative would accom-
plish as much as three, and that
DR.. Peacock was, therefore, dele
gated to confer with the father
Of the missing baby.
Originally Curtis, the Rev. DR..
Dobson-Peacock, and Rear Admi.
raj Guy H. Burrage planned to
fly to the Lindbergh estate, fol
lowing secret trip by Curtis
reputedly to make contact with
an agent OF the kldnaperS.
Curtis In SecIuSiOn
Curtis left his home early to-
day by a back entrance, driving
to his office. After he announced
the change of plans, he went
home again to get much needed
rest.
While Curtis was still at his
office, three navy launches stop
ped near the Curtis plant, which
faces the river.
The flying ceiling" between
here and New Jersey points at
present, he estimated, was about
1900 feet. Visibility was re,
ported bad throughout the route.
There was a choppy wind.
II indications here are of any
value, Colonel Lindbergh feels
that the Norfolk people may
be on the track leading to recov.
cry of his son at last. Their
decision to send a representative
again to the Sourland Mountain
home came Immediately after a
telephone call received by Curtis.
It came, too, hard on Curtis re-
turn from a mysterious 33-hour
journey. He left here about Z
a. m. Saturday by air for an un-
known destination and returned
about p. m. Sunday, worn and
tired.
Forecasts Results
Curtis told International News
Service he expected a definite
development" in the negotiations
within the next three or four
days.
Concerning his trip, Curtis is
sued the following general state
ment:
"In order to do certain work
in carrying out matters started
several days ago before the
breaking of the publicity re-
garding our trip to HopeweIl,
it was necessary for me to
leave town to accomplish this.
"AS to where, how or to
whom / talked I am not in a
position to state at this time.
I left early Saturday morning
and returned this afternoon"
Curtis had not shaved, while
he was gone, and this was the
first thing he did upon his re-
turn.
Burrage UNIFORMED
He then called in the Rev. DR..
Peacock, and the two were
closeted for an hour or more.
Admiral Burrage seemed strange
ly out of touch with the most re-
cent developments in the case
here. He disclaimed knowledge
Of Curtis return two hours after
the boat builder got back. He
was not called into the conference
at Curtis house with Peacock, ap-
parently. Questioned about the
matter, he said:

ORIGIN OF FOOTBALL

What is said to be the earliest written
mention of football in America is contained
in book on Virginia published about 1909,
only two years after the first permanent
settlement at Jamestown. In that day boys
played crude game by kicking an inflated
bladder over the field.
But the real origin of football goes
back to ancient times in Greece and Rome,
where a game called "harpaston,' or
'harpastum," was played. It is likely that
the game was introduced into the British
Isles by the Romans about the beginning of
the Christian era. Varieties of the game
have been found in many other parts of the
world. Native Polynesians played with a
ball made of bamboo fibers; Eskimos made
a ball of moss with a skin cover.
Early football rules were more in keep
ing with the name of the game, as the ball
carrying feature of the game was intro
duced by William Webb Ellis, schoolboy
of Rugby, Eng, in the closing minute of a
tied game in the fall of 1923. His feat is
commemorated by tablet at Rugby which
bears this inscription:
"This stone commentaries the exploit
of VILLAIN Webb Ellis, who with fine dis
regard of the rules of football as played in
his time, first took the ball in his arms and
ran with it. thus originating the distinctive
feature of the Rugby game"
The first intercollegiate football game
in America was played in 1869 between
Princeton and Rutgers. with % men on each
side. 1t may be mentioned incidentally that
the captain of the Princeton team in that
game is still living in the person of Chief
Justice William Stryker Gummere of the
New Jersey Supreme Court, now 80 years
old.
Judge Gummere no doubt remembers
regretfully how the game turned out, too,
because his team lost by the score of 6
to 4.

THE HOOVER CABINET

When the Hoover cabinet is studied,
the marvel is that it has functioned suffi-
GENTLY we'll to aecomplish anything.
The names of Stimson, Mills, Adams,
Hurley, Mitchell, Brown, Wilbur, Hyde,
Lamont and Doak are meaningless to the
public except as they excite unfavorable
comment, particularly Adams Insofar as
Key West is concerned.
There is a growing feeling that foreign
powers have an easy time with Stimson.
Mills has not made much of an impression
with his elastic budget figuring. Adams is
credited with being able to steer yacht
better than his department Hurley has
managed to make himself unpopular with
his explanation of the expulsion of the
Bonus Army.
The rest of the cabinet has not been
enough in the public eye to earn criticism
The general impression is that they are
largely what are termed "Yes-men," named
by the president as his appointees largely
because they were of type to be depended
on to support anything that might be pro-
posed. Leadership or decision of any kind
could not be expected of such group.
During the recent campaign, republi-
can orators asserted that it would be send
ing the country to the eternal bow-vows to
hand over the government to the demo-
Gratis.
AS the country has done just this very
thing, it might be interesting to make a few
comparisons of a possible Roosevelt cabi-
net, without attempting to do the appoint
ing
We might start with John w. Davis in
Stimson's place. Senator Carter Glass in
Mills place. Albert C. Richie in place of
Adams. Newton D. Baker in place of Hur-
ley. James A Farley in place of Brown.
Senator Robert Wagner in place of Mitchell
and choice of an exceedingly large num-
Der of democratic possibilities in the place
of the others.
The comparison is startling and serves
to prove to the thoughtful citizen that the
troubles of the country today may be due
to inefficiency in the government as much
as to any other cause.

The longest series of big laughs

Harold Lloyd's latest production.

Eight minutes of consecutive

been rolled in one faction" of

ports of the picture at different

ing Lloyd, as well as every other
comedian. a record to shoot at in

Previous to the magician's coat
sequence in "Movie Crazy" which
sets the new laugh-making fig
ures, Lloyd rated his greatest SER
les of continuous laughter. the
football scenes and the basted suit
episodes in the Freshman"
In "Movie Crazy" one gag rolls
into another, and to the satisfied
amazement of Lloyd. neither dia-
logue nor music is heard in the en-
tire ball room situation, which runs
virtually the length of an entire
reel.
There are three, among the nu-
merous laugh factions in Movie
Crazy" which stand out in relief,
and it is going to be difficult to
find any two persons who will
agree as to which is the funniest.
There is a test scene which for
and laughs, viii be difficult
to surpass; the magician's coat
episode and the fight which eli
makes the story, any one of which
would have been sufficient to car
ry a feature length comedy to sue
cessful results.
