400 POISONED
BY LUNCH AT
CAPITAL PICNIC
Captain Races His Boat to
City and Scores Are
Rushed to Hospitals.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, July 22-Tainted
potato salad or deviled eggs we're
blamed today for ptomaine poison
ing which filled Washington hos
pitfalls with 400 writhing victims.
The food was served at picnic
attended by 900 employees of two
Washington diaries. Later some of
it was given to bonus marchers and
eaten before it could be recalled. A
score of veterans were treated by
the overtaxed hospitals.
About $50 of the ptomaine vic
Tins had to remain in hospitals
over night. Two were in serious
condition.
The dairy employees sailed down the
Potomac Thursday for their picnic
at Marshall hall, a resort twenty
miles below Washington. The
lunch, prepared the Fit before,
was served early in IT, afternoon.
In two hours some of the children
bcame i'll. The steamer Charles
McAlester pulled in at p. m. to
take the picnickerS home.
The return trip no sooner was
started than the rails were lined
with agonized victims of the poi
soning. Others writhed on the decks.
The captain put on full speed, to
make the trip with his cargo of
misery in one hour instead of the
usual two.
At Alexandria, Va, six miles from
Washington, he pulled close ashore
and shouted for ambulances. All
ambulances in the city were sum-
moned and overwhelmed.
Police patrols, fire trucks, taxi
cabs and private automobiles were
pressed into service to take the vic
Tins to hospitals. Doctors and
nurses were modified by the scores.
The life of a single hair on a hui
mans head is estimated to be from
six to ten years.

Now Unlikely After
Measure Wins.

Possibility of elimination of the
state police department. was made
remote today when the house of
representatives passed a bill giving
the department new duties.
The measure, carried by a sub
stantial vote, would transfer en-
forcement Of the state motor vehicle
weight law from the state highway
commission to the police depart
ment.

would be increased from $3.50 900 to
S250000 and way would be paved
for adding of about 100 policemen
to the present force of fifty.
Pass Moratorium Bill
BY plurality vote, the house also
passed a bill declaring a moratorium
on delinquent taxes of 1929, 1880 and
1881.
1t provides also that al penalties
other than the per cent interest
charge shall be waived Payments
would be made in ten equal INSTALL
ments at any time.
In haste to expedite business the
house nearly killed the Weiss White
unemployment relief measure, when
it voted to table the committee re-
port amending the bill and rec
ommending it's pass
Weiss Saves Bill
The bill was saved when Repre-
sentative Jacob Weiss (DemD In

turned to the committee for recon-
sideration.
The amendment provided for a J.
cent tax on cigarets and 1-cent
tax on legal documents requiring
notary seals, proceeds to be paid
to county relief funds.
Seeking surcease from the town
ship and county unit road construc-
ton which has placed a heavy
bonded Indebtedness on the smaller
unit Of governments, the house in
creased the mortarium proposals on
such building teo 1910.
Another proposed tax was rele-
gated teo the waste basket today
by the house of representatives and
it's defeat was recorded in angry
terms of legislators battling for re-
lief of taxpayers.

tax of ST on every citizen in the
state between ages Of 81 and so.

Marrinan Was Abused
Over Phone.
Letter to Hoover States
Secretary Promised to
"PunCh His N0Se."

President Hoover had before him to-
day a letter from A. F. Whitney, presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, protesting against threats"
he said were made by Lawrence Richey,
White House secretary, against John
Marrinan, who renounced his support
of Mr.. Hoover and came out for Frank
lin D. Roosevelt for President.
Whitney'S letter said the threats"
were disclosed in a letter to him from
Marrinan, who was Mr.. Hoover's Sec
retary when the President was Secre-
tary of Commerce. Marrinan, who was
instrumental in swinging the railroad
labor vote to Mr.. Hoover in 1928, now
is an investigator for the Senate Bank
ing and Currency Committee, special
izing in the stock market inquiry.
The Whitney letter. made public in
Cleveland and carried by the Associ-
ated Press, follows:
Text of Whitney Letter.
"Mr. John Marrinan, who served as
your secretary for some time while you
were Secretary of Commerce, advises
me in a letter dated November l that
Secretary Lawrence Richey called him
on the telephone GIout the accuracy
OF the published report that Mr.. Marri-
nan would support Gov. Roosevelt for
the presidency and that when Marrinan
verified the report, Secretary Richey
proceeded to abuse him with a line of
profanity which exceeded anything he
had ever heard.
Further, that Secretary Richey de-
clared his intention to tell the world
about Marrinan, threatened to have
| him placed in Jail and concluded by
saying that, win or lose, he would get
him before March 4.
1--WE have heard considerable COM
ments about the alleged threats that
| have been made by some big industrial
lists as to what would happen if their
employees failed to support you for
President, but we did not believe that
any member Of your staN at the White
/ House would undertake to coerce or in
timidate any citizen for expressing his
political preference in this campaign.
I'VE regret the apparent necessity for
calling this matter to your attention,
and assert without fear of contradiction
that Mr.. Richey is unfit to retain the
position he now holds if the statement
made by Mr.. Marrinan is true"
Marrinan, from his Office in the SEN
ate Office Building, confirmed the state
mentS in the Whitney letter and charged
that Richey said he would punch my
rose and break me in two for the
Roosevelt statement"
He called me a dirty double -crosser
and said he would put me in jail" Mar
rinan said. I'm an old-time ball
player, but in all my experience in the
minor leagues I never heard such pro-
fame and blasphemous language"

together as secretaries to MI. Hoover

done and obtained the petition after
making request to railway authorities.
