Kim and his mother lived on
the ground floor of an old

Mary Faith always enjoyed
her visits there because it was
Kim's home, but it was a de-
pressing sort of place.
The living room was crowded
with upholstered furniture. All

brown crock filled with pampas

place. On a shelf above it stood
q cupid clock made Of silver

POLICE WR|TS

The Police Departments cam
paign against gambling establish
ments was the subject of a
heated debate in Police Court to-
day.
When a preliminary hearing
took place before Judge Isaac R.
Hit, in the case of Harry Lind
say, arrested yesterday at 17l4
Seton st. N. W., on the charge OF
operating a gambling establish
ment, Attorney Myron Ehrlich
launched a bitter attack upon
the practice of issuing special
warrants.
Quoting a decision of the Court
of Appeals, Ehrlich claimed that
the issuance of warrants is solely
judicial function and not within
the power of the Chief of Police.
Judge Hit, upholding Police
Chief GlaSSford'S right to issue
such warrants, directed that Lind
say be held for the Grand Jury
under bond of $4,000.
Detectives Ogle and Baker, who
directed the raid, told the court
that they found gaming tables

equipment. Thirty or more per

Alb Walker, after the verdict OF

The gun with which Smith was

out the left side several inches
low.
Bullet Never Found
The bullet which killed young

Apparently the bullet had gone
through a screen on the south

was a small round hole in the
screen seven feet from the floor
Authorities asserted today that
it would have been impossible for
the bullet to have gone out the
window at that height If the boy
had stood up when he shot him
self. In any event, it would have
caused him to have been prone
on the bed in an awkward posi-
ton to direct the flight of the
bullet to that height the sheriff
pointed out.
Furthermore, three fragments
of the elected shell were found.
Two of the pieces, discovered by
Sheriff Scott only after a minute

The third fragment was found

WAR DEBT CUTS
ASSA|LED ON
CAPITOL HILL
Views in Both Houses Doom
Cancellation; Garner Joins
General Attack

Sentiment in Congress is
nearly 100 per cent against any
cancellation of the World War
debts owed by European ma
tions to America. And that
verdict extends even to zone
penny" of revision, according
to leaders in both Senate and
House.
This was established today, fol,
lowing a rapid poll within the
past "a hours by representatives
of the Hearst newspapers.
In practically every instance
wherein leaders of either Senate
or House, or members of the rank
and file. were interrogated on a
cancellation movement, allegedly
originating abroad, there came
almost a chant of nays" or
nothing doing"
Cancellation Dead"
BY all surface and ur1dercur-
rent signs, the cancellation move
ment is dead in Congress-; what
ever the Administration may be
inclined to do about it in the
next few weeks or months.
Here are typical expressions OF
Congress leaders:
SPEAKER JOHN N. GARNER:
I am opposed to any cancellation
and will fight anything along that
line.
REPRESENTATIVE HENRY T.
RAINEY (D.) of Illinois, majority
leader of the House: Record me
as against any cancellation, and
make that quite positive.
REPRESENTATIVE BERTRAND
H. SMELL (R.) of New York, Re
publican leader of the present
House minority: No Stree! no
cancellation.
REPRESENTATIVE JAMES w,
COLLIER (D.) of Mississippi,
chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee, which com.
mittee will handle any proposal
to cancel or revise the war debt
settlement: / will resist any pro-
pOsaI to cancel or even revise
these war debts. / will oppose
yielding thereon even one penny.
AN EMPHATIC NO
REPRESENTATIVE HENR Y
b. STEAGALL (D.) of Alabama,
chairman of the House Banking
and Currency committee: Record
me as voting no, now and all the
time, on any cancellation plan
whether it comes in this country
or from abroad. Incidentally,
have never REID a more clear
and convincing argument against
cancellation than that of MIR,
William Randolph Hearst last
Sunday morning. He made three
outstanding points. agree with
every one of them.
REPRESENTATIVE JOSEPH
w. BYRNS (D.) of Tennessee,
chairman of the House Ap
prOpriatiOns con- mittee: Put me
down as positively "NO."
REPRESENTATIVE JOHN Nc
DUFFIE (DD of Alabama
majority whip" Of the House
said: answer the query with the
one wOrd-NO. And by that
mean no cancellation or revision
of war debts. Nothing doing.
With one exception - Senator
Thomas Cd, Oklahoma-sentl,
ment today ran along with that
of the House, and virtually the
entire membership of the upper
body was polled and recorded
against cancellation Of war debt
Senator Thomas frankly said he
was inclined toward cancellation,
Senator Mcclellan (DJ OF Ten,
nessee, opposing cancellation, put
in a resolution asking the State
Department to inform the Sen
ate whether the Administration
had made any move encouraging
Europe to think there would be
war debt cancellation. Sena
tors. by and large. said they would
indomitably fight against any
cancellation proposals.
