Senate Passes Regulation of D. c. Firearms Bill
L. Wrapper Unaware
MiddIe-Of-
Parking Is "Out"

Failure to keep up with the
times recently caused no little
trouble for Louis w. Rapeer, it
was indicated today in Traffic
Court. Rapeer appeared before
Judge Ralph Given on a charge
of failing to park at the curb,
and Traffic Bureau Policeman
L. H. Peterson said he found
the mans car Saturday sitting
squarely in the middle Of Yer
mont Avenue at the Veterans
Bureau.
Rapeer explained that, five or
six years ago, a parkway was
torn out in the middle of the
avenue and parking was per-
mitted there. He said he did
not know the rule had been
abolished. Judge Given took
his personal bond.

BANDIT CAUGHT
At TER ROBB|NG
GOODACRE
Restaurant Owners Wife
Spots Robber; Money
Is Recovered

The alertness of Mrs. Sarah
Goodacre, of 7617 Morning
side Drive N. W., early today
prevented a hold-up man from
escaping with several thousand
dollars, stolen at the point of
a gun from her husband,
George L. Goodacre.
Carrying with him in a black
satchel several thousand dollaN
he had collected last night fron
his Is restaurants, Mr.. Good
acre was backing his car from
the garage at the rear of hV
home this morning while Mrs
Goodacre, his daughter, Mrs. c
w. Dill, 80, and the latter's 1%'
months-old baby girl waved good
by from the back porch.
Knocks Gun Aside
Suddenly a man ran from be-
hind the car, jumped on the
running board and thrust re-
volver against Mr.. Goodacre's
neck. The latter instantly struck
the gun aside and leaped out OF
the machine. The bandit, q
poorly-dreSsed white man. Selzed
the satchel and fled south on
Jonquil Street.
While Mr.. Goodacre ran for
his son-in-law, C. w. Dill, Mrs
Goodacre chased the bandit. The
two men attempted to head OIL
the fleeing gunman by driving
around the block in an opposite
direction. At the rear of l423
Iris st. they heard Mrs. Good
acre screaming:
"There he is, but don't shoot
him" -,
The men found the bandit
cornered by a neighbor's kitchen
door, offering no resistance. They
disarmed him, recovered the
satchel, and held him for the
arrival of Sixth Precinct police
whom neighbors had already
summoned.
At the precinct the man gave
his name as Thomas Fox White,
"a, of no fixed address.
His First HOld-up
He told Capt. Joseph Morgan
he had come to washington two
months ago from Knoxville,
Tenn, sleeping in parks and in
woods ever since. He had not
eaten for two days, he said, and
when approached by a stranger
with an offer to participate in
robbing Mr.. Goodacre he had
consented. Police Immediately
broadcast a lookout for the &C
complice who is believed to have
fled from a nearby corner when
he saw the hold-up frustrated.
White was charged with inVeS.
tigation. He protested it was his
first "job;" that he had been driv.
en- to it by hunger. Although not
a World War veteran he said he
had served in the navy.
How much money was contain.
ed in the bag could not be learned.
The money was mostly in bills. A
cardboard box containing addi"
tional funds was overlooked by
the bandit. White had never been
employed by him, Mr.. Goodacr0
told police.
The second man sought by
police was said to be a Wash,
ington man who was driving an
Essex coupe, with District tags.

report will not come before the League
until some time late in November or
earlv in December.
Whether, then, the small nations will
be able to force the hand OF the big
powers remains to be seen. An lmpor-
tant thing would be gained by Japan
by this postponement; that is, a delay
in which time the international situa-
ton would have shaped out more clear
ly than it is at present.
The State Department has nothing
to say in this matter. 1t is willing to
await the pleasure of the Council OF
the League because the United States
Government has no interest in hurry
ing matters. The position OF the Gov
ernment of this country has been clear
ly expressed by President Hoover in his
speech of acceptance of his nomination
as the Republican candidate for re-
election, and in the official note sent
by Secretary Stimson on January 7, his
letter to Senator Borah q few weeks
later and his reiterated statements
every time he has had the opportunity
to make them since the beginning Of
the Sino-Japanese conflict.
What will happen If the League de-
cides not to take any steps IS a mat
ter of pure speculation. It is certain
that the United States will not go back
on the statements Of policy enunciated
by the President and his Secretary of
State. What steps might be taken to
enforce that policy is matter which
can be decided only in the light Of fu-
ture developments. -

There is such q volume Of opinion
among delegates to the Disarmament

to equality that he believes that issue

Mr.. Henderson leaves for the con-

Council. meeting
why shouldn't the World War allies
get together" Mr.. Henderson demanded,
"and recognize that what was said in
their names in 1919 must bind them?
why should they not publicly de-
clare their intention to remove Ger
many's position of inferiority with all
possible haste and to restore German
equality in military status?"
II want you to feel that on this ques-
ton about Germany there is such VOL
ume of opinion in favor Of immediate
action that we can settle and adjust
this difficulty, not only to the advantage
of Germany but to the advantage OF
Europe and the whole world"

HAIR COMEDIES
AS Staying CLUE
Torso Near Home of Missing
Woman May Clear
Mystery.
BY the Associated Press.

PLYMOUTH, Mass, September 15.-
The investigation into the mysterious
disappearance of Mrs. Edith Dubois of
Tuckahoe, N. Y, took a sensational
turn today as John V. Sullivan, assist
ant district attorney, announced that
hair found in Plymouth Harbor was
consistent" with the hair Of Mrs. Du-
boiS.
Sullivan made public report he had
received from George E. Boiling, city
bacteriologist of Brockton, in which
Boiling said "the hair found in Ply
mouth Harpor Is of the same texture,
same width and entirely consistent with
the hair of Mrs. Dubois"
Tangled in Boat Line.
The hair from the harbor came up
from the water tangled about boats
mooring line. It was sent to Boiling by
Sullivan along with several strands Of
hair that had been taken from combs
and rooms at the Dubois Summer cot
tage on Great Herring Pond. Sullivan
told Boiling that Mrs. Dubois at one
time had dyed her hair. Boiling re-
ported that the hair from the harbor
had been dyed at one time.
1t was Boiling who reported to Sui
livan yesterday that stains found on
a mattress taken from the Dubois cot
tage were caused by human blood from
a cut or wound
Mrs. Dubois disappeared on August
10, and police began investigation OF
her absence after neighbors living near
Great Herring Pond had reported that
her husband, Charles E. Dubois, jew
eler, had given conflicting statements
her absence. Dubois was ar
rested on suspicion Of murder last Mon
day, but was released when District
Court judge refused murder COM
plant on the grounds the police had
evidence on which to base
the charge
Among other developments of the
day were the arrival Of Frank H. Coyne,
district attorney of Westchester Coun-
ty, N Y, who has jurisdiction over
Tuckahoe, and the recording of deed
in the Dedham Court House of the
transfer Of property from Dubois to
jeremiah J. MacAnarney, Dubois
counsel.
While Sullivan's office was busy with
State police troopers dragged the water
of Herring Pond in their third days
search for the body of the woman. A
woman's torso, head and legs missing,
was found within a mile OF the Tucka-
hoe home of Mrs. Dubois several weeks
ago.

today.
Newspaper men were unable to see
Gen. Moseley
After looking into the controversial
questions raised in connection with the
burning of bonus campers bilets, he
said he was convinced that the billets
in the Pennsylvania avenue area were
fired by the veterans when they evacu-
ated them. 1t was his own opinion, he
said, that some of the grenades used
by troops forcing evacuation of the area
may have had something to do In start
ing the fires that occurred.
Based on Own Inquiry.
Gen. Moseley said further that his
own investigations had convinced him
some soldiers who were in reserve and
used to assist In cleaning up the area
did set fire to some Of the shacks along
Pennsylvania avenue.
War Department officials today re-
fused to make the two alleged afi-
davits available to the press. 1t was
admitted that affidavitS had been SUBJ
mitted.
1t was said further on behalf Of Gen.
Moseley that he had been misquoted
in a morning newspaper which attrib-
uted to him the following remark: I'VE
are making no apologies for anything
that happened. The huts were fired by
troops in reserve. Theye were under
orders"
But Gen. Moseley made 1t clear today
that the Army had no apologies to
offer, an explained that what he had
said over the telephone was to the ef-
feet that the Army had had a job to
do and had done 1t. He said, however.
in this telephone interview, that he
believed some of the huts were fired by
troops in reserve but said nothing about
orders being issued.
The War Department is continuing
its investigation into the whole con-
troversy that has arisen anew since
President Hoover made public, on the
eve of the American Legion convention,
the report compiled by Attorney Gen.
eral Mitchell.
Report by Mitchell.
In his report to the President, Attor-
ney General Mitchell said:
After the troops arrived, fire broke
out among the old shacks occupied by
bonus marchers on the Pennsylvania
avenue tract where the rioting occurred,
and later at the big camp known as
Camp Marks, on the Anacostia River,
from which the bulk of the rioters had
come to attack the police. The cause
of the outbreak of the fire in the Penn
sylvania avenue area is not known. The
troops had no orders to set any fires.
There was inflammable debris around,
and the cause of the origin Of the fire
in the Pennsylvania avenue area is
variously given as having been set by
cigarettes or hot tear gas bombs"
At the Department Of Justice today
is was said that the information on
which this statement was based was
supplied by responsible War Depart.
ment officers"
1t is understood that statements to
the effect that no orders were issued
for firing Of the shacks were made be-
fore the grand jury by Army otacials.

editorially has declared that Roosevelt
should come out against the bonus
without further delay, and that news
paper has been supporting Roosevelt
1t looks as though whichever way the
Democratic nominee jumps on this
question OF the bonus he will lose some
support.
The President is carrying the fight
against the bonus aggressively to its
supporters by his statement of opposi-
ton. II the issue Is to become one be-
tween himself and Roosevelt, he at least
has struck the first blow. OF course,
Roosevelt may declare himself against
the bonus payment. 1t has been said by
Democrats close to the Governor that in
all probability he will declare that he
favors the payment of the bonus as soon
as the Treasury can stand such pay
ment. If he makes such a statement,
it will still leave his position in the
dark, since there will be no way OF
knowing just whether he believes the
Treasury can now stand such payment
or not.
The politicians here today insisted
that Roosevelt would have to come
clean" on this issue; that the country
would not be satisfied with any equivo-
cation on the subject.
Hoover's Statement.
President Hoover, discussing the bonus
question In his statement last night,
said:
THE welfare Of the Nation as .
whole must take precedence over the
demands OF any particular group.
Il have the duty not alone to see
that justice and a sympathetic atti-
tude is taken by this Nation toward the
100000 veterans and their families,
but also to exert myself for justice to
