WORKER KILLED
AS WALL FALLS
SPITTLE

Struck by brick, an unidenti-
fled colored man, about so years
old, was instantly killed today
when the wall of the old Georgia
Hotel, which was being wrecked
on Pennsylvania Avenue, near
Third Street Northwest caVed in.
A group of colored men were
working beneath the wall, clean
ing bricks, when the pile OF bricks
and mortar toppled over. All
scrambled to safety except the
unidentified man.
The building is being cleared
to make way for the extension OF
Constitution Avenue. Logan Ross,
member of the firm of Ryan &
Co. that is razing the building,
said the colored man was known
only as James" He was en-
ployed as a helper to John Har-
riS, colored.
Fearing that some loiterers may
have been buried beneath the
debris, members of the Fire De-
partment as we'll as the colored
Workmen will remove all the
bricks of the wrecked wall.

Losses paid out by life, mutual
and fire insurance companies in
the District are approximately
only IS per cent of the amount
they collect in premiums.
This has been ascertained in
an investigation of the insurance
situation, which Assistant Corpo-
ration Counsel William A. Rob
erts is conducting in connection
with the proposal of the Senate
District Committee to raise taxes
on such companies.
While the District insurance de-
partment has not fully completed
a survey of the companies 1881

fall far below the volume in
1880. In 1880, the department
reported, life, mutual and kin
dred organizations collected S23,-

out $6,5O8,653.O9 in losses while
fire insurance companies col
lected $2,149,757.55 and paid out

BANK ROBBERS
ST|LLFREE

A bandit gang of five, which
staged yesterdays daylight hold
up of the branch of the Washing
ton Mechanics Savings Bank on
Georgia Avenue, is still at large
today after a clean getaway with
it's loot of $9,031.
A sedan with New York tags,
believed to be the bandits, was
sighted on F. Street and on Wis
conSin Avenue.
Police are considering the pos
sibility that the band was the
same which robbed the East Capt.
.tol Street branch of the same
bank of over $4,000 in January.
An automobile with Maryland tags
was used in each robbery.
Police today are developing
fingerprint marks found on the
counter in the bank, believed to
have been made by the robbers.
They will be checked with the
fingerprintS of known yeggmen.

JUSTICE ADKINS
BACKS KING
PROPOSAL
Bar Association to Consider
Senator's Plan to Have
Ban Lifted

The prohibition against Gov
ernment employees serving on
juries in the District may be
removed by early legislation
according to statement made
to the Senate District commit
tee at it's meeting late yester-
day.
Senator King CD of Utah,
committee member, received as
surances that the District Bar
Association would consider his
suggestion.
Justice Jesse Adkins, who was
witness before the committee
on a bill to designate a reor-
ganized jury commission system
here, and to have one member
of such a commission on an an
nual salary, supported the King
plan. Senator King said:
81 see no reason why thou
sands of Government workers
here would not make cOmpe-
tent jurors and they ought not
be barred from such service"
Former District Attorney John
E. Laskey, Neil Burkinshaw, spe-
cial Assistant to the Attorney
General, favored the Capper bill
for revision of the Jury Com.
mission system.
The sending out of question
naires by the jury commission to
obtain information about the
eligibility and qualifications of
prospective jurors is one of the
reforms contemplated.
Bills favorably reported at the
committee meeting included one
for further regulation of the oper-
ations of bondsmen in the Dis
trict and to prohibit fee split
ting: another measure to provide
additional steam boiler inspection,
and a third further regulating the
administration of the estates of
incompetent veterans. The dras-
tic anti-gambling bill of District
Attorney Rover was referred to a
subcommittee for revision.

ADN|TSFRAUD

Jules F.. Del Rivero, 80, valet to
the secretary at the Argentine le-

fore Police Judge Ralph Given to
four charges of purchasing cloth
ing on his employers account.
Police say Del Rivero went to
several downtown department
stores, presented the Identified
tion card of Senor Don Eduardo
L. Vivot, the secretary, and pur-
chased clothes which we're charged
to the latter. Del Rivero said his
salary was so small he was un-
able to buy proper clothing for
his work at the legation.
The case was referred to the
probation officer for investigation
with the consent of Assistant U.

FURLOUGH SEEN
VICTORIOUS IN
CONFERENCE
Douglas and Wood Known As
Favoring Hoover Plan
Saving $80,000,000

Conferences on the $780,
100000 economy bill We're
scheduled to begin late today
following the appointment of
Representatives John Nc
Duffie (D.), of Alabama, chair
man of the economy commit
tee; Louis w. Douglas (D.),
of Arizona, and Will R. Wood
(R.), of Indiana, as cOnferees
on the part of the House.
The appointment of Douglas
and Wood was accepted by many
members as further indication
that the Presidents payless fur
Tough plan would eventually be
adopted. Wood, it is believed, will
follow the wishes of his party and
accept the Administration plan,
and Douglas is expected to also
accept the proposal.
Might Accept FurIOugh
Although McDuffie is an ardent
advocate of the straight 10 per
cent pay cut, his prediction that
there would be mo lonw-drawn-
out conferences" was considered
as an indication that he might &C.
cept the Presidents plan.
AS the House pay cut plan, an
II per cent cut with a $4,000 ex-
emption, would save only SIP
100000 and the Presidents plan
would save 100000, 900, it was con
sidered likely that the latter pre-
posal would be adopted, HOUSE
members say.
Would Need Straight Cut
To effect as great a saving by
the pay cut method as is provided
in the furlough plan, it would be
necessary to impose a straight
10 percent cut permitting a low
exemption. as was originally con-
sidered by the Senate.
In order to include such a pay
cut bill, it would be necessary
for the conferees to report
disagreement to the House and
Senate and demand instructions.
A motion to instruct would then
permit the members of both
Houses again TO vote un the two
economy plans.

SENAT TE VOTES
S8,500,000
FOR D. c.
Roll Call Vote Unnecessary.
Appropriation Bill
~ to Pass Today

The Senate today promptly
approved, without roll call
vote, the action of it's Appro-
priation Committee providing
that the Federal contribution
to the District Government
expenses for the next fiscal
year shall be $S,550,00O in
stead of the $6,5O0,OOO limit
carried in the House bill.
Senator McKellar CD of Ten
nessee and Senator King CD of
Utah asserted in brief debate that
the Senate amount was too large,
but their arguments were unavail-
ing.
Better Off Here
King said that the people here
receive numerous benefits from
Government payrolls. bounties
and subsidies; that the great
building program of the Govern
ment has boosted property values
here, and that business men of
the Capital are better off than
those in most cities.
Therefore, King argued, the
should not contrib
ute so large a sum as $8,550,000
for the Capital, which is inhabited
by taxpayers who could pay more
toward their own city.
Calls 1t Fair
Senator McKellar argued along
similar lines, but Senator Bing-
ham (RD of Cinnecticut, con-
tended that the Senate amount
was fair to the Federal Govern
ment.
Following the restoring of this
item, the Senate proceeded with
the reading of the District bill,
paragraph by paragraph, with in
dications of its final passage late
today,

DESERT
NEW LURE To
MOTORISTS
BY HAMILTON M. WRIGHT

CAIRO, Egypt, June 30.-Until
q few years ago it was consid-
cred perilous to traverse extens-
i've desert areas in an automo-
bile. If you ventured from Cairo
into the northeast, toward the
Holy Land, for example, there
was always danger that you
might run into smugglers or ban
dts who, mounted on swift
camels, we're able to maintain
themselves despite the activity
of the border police patrols.
If you went to the west out
into the Libyan Desert or the
Sahara, you would be almost
sure to lose your way.
Then, too the uncharted desert
is notoriously hard on cars, par
ticularly on engines. One was
always sure to strike sand dunes
or soft spots.
Routes Now Mapped
The great heat, the dust and
grit that worked into the en-
CINE and the tough pull in sand
neceSSitating long runs in second
gear always made liable a en-
forced halt before ones deStina-
tion was reached.
But within the last three or
four years a number Of safe deS-
ert routes have been definitely
charted and marked.
The change is almost entirely
due to the initiative of King Fuad
of Egypt who has had the mill
tary forces and patrols mark out
the best automobile trails to
oases, monasteries, and ruins

which. though remote from the
Nile River, can now be readily
reached.
One Of the most valuable OF
these desert trails Is that extend.

There is now in Egypt society

on any of the major routes that
motorists take. The desert is far
safer to ride in than some of the
great American cities, at night.
