M the end of the major league
Y season only eight days away,
two National League batters,
Frank O'Doul of Brooklyn and Chuck
Klein of the Phillies, appear to have the
years major league batting honors well
in hand
ODoul maintained his .370 average
that tops both leagues through this
week, while Klein improved his slugging
records a bit. And at the same time
Jimmie Foxx of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics, who set the pace for the big
league hitters through most of the sea-
son, slumped to 1853, where he was tied
for the American League lead with Dale
Alexander of the Boston Red Sox.
DUT Jimmie still held an edge in the
- struggle for recognition on the
grounds that Alexander was late
conner into the ranks of the regulars
and had only 355 times at bat against
545 for FoXX.
Klein and Foxx still shared honors
in the all-rollnd slugging race, each
topping the majors in two departments
aside from the batting averages.
The high smuggling marks for the two
leagues were:
Runs-Klein, lat; Foxx, l40.

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. IA.
The American Legion with its
great membership is ready to
furnish the country what it most
needs.
What it needs today is in evi-
dence at the meeting of the
American Legion-faith in sound
Americanism and pep. The coun-
try has gotten to its present posi-
ton because it has been drifting,
many people having no supreme
faith and an unwillingness to
fight for anything.
The legonnaireS had pep IA
years ago, and they have not lost
any of it, as is evident in their
meeting here.
This is not a reference only to
what appears in the band con-
tests and the enthusiasm eVi
denced in public. 1t is the DOM
tnating force in the legion-this
faith in the America they fought
Tor and in the causes to which
they give their allegiance. They
may make mistakes here and
there, but they profoundly be-
lieve in the country they fought
for and are as ready to mobilize
now to keep it true to ideals as
they were in 1917.
They know the country their
comrades died for has slipped
from its high estate and lost its
way. But they have not lost
their ideals or their idealiSm.
They are for 100 per cent Amer
tcaniSm and opposed to all the
"iSmS" that would destroy the
right of every man to work and
be protected in his rights and
the rewards of his labor.

WORKS
1 ONLY WAY To /:
PROSPERITY

A national public works con
struction program would give
work, instead Of charity, to the
unemployed and restore the pur
chasing power of the consumer
Col. Stanford E. Thopmson, Bos
ton consulting engineer, told the
Metcalf Education and Labor
subcommittee today.
He indorsed every feature. Of
the LaFollette $500. 100000 pros.
perity bond issue bill to finance
q gigantic public works construc
tion program.
Urges It's Passage
Urging immediate enactment OF
the bill, Thompson said:
"The general principles of
public works construction is
generally recognized as sound,
especially during periods of a
lag in business. One of the
prime causes of the depression
was the diversion of money
during 1925-29 to capital invest
ments. The only way to change
this current back to consumers
purchasing power is to divert
the capital to the purchasing of
goods. l believe the only way
this can be accomplished is
through public works cOnstruc-
ton"
Sponsored by Senator La Fol
1ette (RD, of Wisconsin. the
measure would establish 8
Federal Administrative Bureau
of Public Works to direct the
construction program through.
out the country. This bureau
would be authorized to loan So,
750,000,000 to States for public
works and highway constructions
programs.
Would Handle Loans
1t would be authorized to ex
pend $1,000,000,000 for Fedora.
and State highway construction
and reconstruction programs
$650,000,000 for Federal public
works programs, and 100000, ,00C
for loans to home building as
Sociations.
All loans would be subject to
the approval of an emergency
finance board, which would be
created under the bill. The Presi
dent would be authorized tc
float a bond issue not exceeding
$500, 100000 to provide funds
for the construction programs
These bonds would be in de
nominations of $50 up, woulc
bear interest at the rate of not
more than AZ per cent anc

TAXI RATE WAR
AWAITS CUE

The threatened rate war among
taxicab operators is due to break
out at any moment, in the opin-
ion of independent operators. Fur
ther cutting of rates by one COM
pany, they say, would be the cue.
These operators base their
arguments on the fact that the
Black and White and Yellow Cab
Company and the Diamond Cabs
operate about half of the cabs in
Washington. The independents
say the Black and White and
yellow Company plans to put
more cabs on the street.
Only two cities in the United
States have more cabs in opera
ton than Washington-NeW York,
with $4,000 cabs, and Chicago,
with 5000. Washington and Bal
timore have about 1000 each.
Other cities, and the total of
cabs, are: Detroit, 5000; Boston,
$500; Pittsburgh, 75O; Buffalo,

IRREGULARITIES
DISCLOSED BY
EX-JUDGE
Fee Splitting and Patrol Wagon
Chasing Among Evils to
Be BaniShed

Reported irregularities in the
business of executing bonds in
criminal cases were given as
the reasons for the introduc-
tion of a bill in the House to-
day making drastic changes in
regulations pert aiming g to
bon6Smen.
Representative Ralph Gilbert
CD of Kentucky declared that
he had been advised by former
police court Judge that there was
improper handling of the issu-
ance of bonds which extended to
attorneys and policemen.
Fee Splitting Banned
Under the terms of the bill it
would be unlawful for any bonds
man to give or loan any money
or other thing of value or enter
tain any police officer or attor-
ney or court attache for assist
ing and procuring business. At
torneys would be prevented from
dividing any fee or giving anything
of value to any bondsman or po-
lice officer for securing cases for
him.
A maximum fee of SIS a hun
dred is prescribed in the bill for
bond in any criminc.l case and
no other fee or gratituty could
be accepted.
Curb On Activities
The present system of permit
ting bondsmen to go to police
precinct to get business would be
stopped. Only on call would they
be permitted to enter police sta
tions, and they would be required
to leave record of their mission,
and the name of the person on
whom they are calling.
The bill, also, provides for the
courts of the District to deter
mine the qualifications of bonds
men, and provides heav. penalties
for violations of the provisions Of
the measure.

Admission was made by
Representative Vincent l..

he did not know what to
do
Palmisano and Representative
Frank L. Bowman (RO of West

bers of the investigating group
that heard the testimony of wit,
nesses at the first hearing Tues
day.
Bowman Wants Action
Although Bowman is demand
ing that certain members of the
board be penalized for alleged
laxity in the Edith Riley case,
Palmisano's attitude may block
the West Virginian's efforts.
Palmisano conferred with Frank
Hall, the Riley children's uncle
by marriage, last night, and ad,
viSed him that he was at loss
for a solution of the problem, al
though Hall gave valuable infor,
nation concerning the boards in
vestigation years ago.
Investigation Described
Although board records indicate
welfare worker went to the
Riley home, Hall said that. &C
cording to Francis Riley, the
worker and a policewoman were
forced to remain downstairs until
his stepmother got Edith P!,ey
out of the closet and placed her
in bathtub so that 1t would

Investigating Case

A pair of women s shoes has
added a complicating angle to
the investigation of the murder
of Mrs. Spencer Ilsley, promi-
nent society widow, and her
maid, Mrs. Nina Buckner, of
near Rockville, Md, nine days
ago at fashionable Middleburg,
Va, playground of millionaires.
The shoes, one of them caked
with mud, were found in Mrs.
Ilsley's automobile in which her
slayer or slayers are believed to
have fled from the scene of the
crime.
Not Mrs. Ilsley's
Their discovery has been kept
secret by authorities but it was
learned that despite their eXpen-
sive make they did not belong to
Mrs. Ilsley. Neither did they
belong to Bertie Neal. colored
sweetheart of George Crawford,
negro suspect. for whom an inten-
sive man hunt has been launched.
It was raining at about the
time Mrs. Ilsley and Mrs. Buck
ner are supposed to have been
slugged to death on the morning
of January 13. 1t had not been
raining when Mrs. Ilsley returned
to her home at 1890 o'clock that
morning from meeting at Up
perville and a visit at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. Hit.
Ownership Sought
Since the discovery of the
shoes, made the day the auto
mobile was found abandoned near
Clarendon, authorities have Jcen
making every effort to find their
owner. but admitted today that
the quest had been fruitleSs.
The authorities view the shoes
as an important clue but are reti-
cent to discuss it. Sheriff E. S.
Adrian. however. declared en-
phatiCally they did not belong TO

The sheriff has contended all
along that the murders were com
mltted by two persons, and that
the murder Observation-Disclosures
