CAR MERGER HIT
BY TAXI ORDER

The Public Utilities Commis-
sion, by it's reply to the House
District Committee that the taxi
meter order will become effective
June l, may delay or prevent
the street-railway merger.
Representative Loring M. Black,
jr. Cd, of New York, chairman
of the subcommittee which con-
Sidered the merger bill, said to-
day that unless satisfactory eX-
planation is given regarding the
possible hook-up between the
taxicab order and the merger
bill, he will attempt to block
passage of the merger measure
in its present form.
The meter order will force
many cabs out of business and
reduce the competition that the
street car companies now have,
Black said. If competition is
eliminated, the necessity of the
merger is lessened, he declared.
The merger bill will be taken
up by the full committee tomor-
row night. The taXiCab discus
sion arose at the regular meeting
of the committee today.

JUDGE FORB|DS
GENERAL D. c.
INQUIRIES
April Body Limited to Investi-
cation of Crime Charges
In Capital

In instructing a new Grand
Jury sworn in today to serve
during the April term Of court,
Justice James NJ. Proctor
warned the body to confine it's
time to investigation of charges
of commission of crime and not
to the general situation in the
District.
The instruction limiting the
function of the body was caused
by previous special reports"
made by grand juries, which later
were expunged from the record.
One of these reports involved
the restoration to duty of former
Policeman Orville Staples and an
other criticized Capt. Edward j.
Kelley and Inspector William S.
Shelby, then assistant superin-
tendent of police.
Probe Crime Only
Justice Proctor said:
"On former occasions grand
jurieS have seen fit to make re-
ports on the general state of af-
fairs in the District of Colum-
bia. Your official function is
to inquire into charges of the
commission of crimes.
you have nothing to do with
such general affairs, and / in
Struct you to attend only to
your official duties as grand
jurors as have outlined them
to yOu."
The foreman of the new grand
jury is Howard Peoples. 50, of 1881
Belmont Road. district freight
agent of the Southern Railway
Company.

WHIPPING CASE
Of 5 On TRIAL

Trial of four men and a woman
charged with horse-whipping
Charles E. Haury, supervisor of
the International Union of Operat-
ing Engineers, began in District
Supreme Court today.
Mrs. Ruth Stevens, Robert E.
Stevens, her husband; Robert Ely,
William T. Green, and Clarence
B. Rockenbaugh are the accused.
Assistant United States At
torney John Sirica told the jury
he would prove that Mrs. Stevens
welded the whip because she be-
lieved Haury was responsible for
her husband being out of work.
The Government is to call about
80 witnesses.
Four other men and a woman
we're arrested recently in connec-
tion with an alleged plot to kill

PAY CUT tissue
FOOTBALL

Possibility that the Federal pay
question will become a political
football for both parties to at
tempt to carry toward election
goals, was forseen today by anti
reductionists because of antago-
nism aroused in the House by the
recent message of the President
which urged economies.
Democrats, aroused by the mes
sage urging a joint commission
for investigation of the pay cut
and curtailment questions, are
likely to attempt to be the first
to force the issue to convince
the folks back home" that they
are sincere in their economy talk,
one opponent of reductions de-
clared. The Republicans, on the
other hand, in an atttmpt to back
the Chief Executive, may do like
wise, it was said.
The antipathy aroused in the
House is based largely on the
fact that the Democrats contend
the Presidents message was a
political gesture.
The Washington times., 1932-04-06

OF the candidates in their cam
paign the organization has again
called upon John j. Raskob.
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, to carry into
effect directions given at the con-
vention in 1912 that the party
institute primary elections for
such offices in States and terri
tories where the law did not re-
quire them.
Mrs. Smith, in her letter to
the candidates, refers to an al
ledged statement of John F.. Co.'S
tello, National Committeeman
from the District, to the effect
that its delegates in June would
be pledged to a certain candi-
date"
She declares that unless the
present method of naming dele
gates is changed this prediction
will be fulfilled"

MOTHER FACES
HEARING FOR
NEGLECT
Mrs. Mary Hunt Accused
of Taking Baby Girl
on Late Parties

Little Margaret Hunt, aged
% months, is at Children s Hos
pital today, where her condi-
ton is being diagnosed, while
her mother, Mrs. Mary Hunt,
of Branchville, Md, is held on
$1OO bond on a charge OF
neglecting the child.
According to Prince George
county officials, the little girl is
seriously i'll with complication
of diseases and may not live. The
case against her mother has been
postponed for two weeks pending
the outcome of the child's illness.
Took Child to Parties
Numerous complaints we're re-
ceived, according to Miss Agnes
Duvalt, Prince George county So
cial service worker, that the
mother was neglecting Margaret.
1t was said Mrs. Hunt kept late
hours attending parties and going
on automobile rides, and that she
took the child with her on these
occasions.
Late hours and improper care,
it was alleged, had affected the
child's health, and Miss Duvait
went to question Mrs. Hunt. The
latter told her, she says, that the
Child's condition was no concern
of hers, whereupon Miss Duvalt
swore out warrant for the
mothers arrest.
Another Child Dies
Mrs. Hunt, who is separated
from her husband, is working in
Berwyn and lives in Branchville.
The father is in Pennsylvania,
where another child. Charles,
aged 4, died yesterday. Charles
will be buried tomorrow at Falls
Church, where the Hunts lived
shortly after their marriage.
If little Margaret dies, Miss
DuValt says, the case will be
placed in the hands of States
Attorney Alan Bowie. Mrs. Hunt
appeared in Hyattsville court be-
fore Judge j. Chew Sheriff, where
the case was postponed for two
weeks.

increasing hourly.

Be PROSECUTED
AT SAN DIEGO

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20. U.P)
Mrs. Allan B. Monks was to be re-
turned to San Diego today to face
bad check charges while police con-
tinued their search for her missing
husband, heir of a wealthy Boston
family.
immigration officers have entered
the case to determine Mrs. Monks
status in this country. When she
was arrested here Sunday police
booked her as a Negress. She We
hemently denied this, declaring she
was a native Of Bordeaux, France.
Although she declared Monks was
in San Francisco last Saturday,
Mrs. Monks refused to commit her
self as to his present whereabouts.
She scoffed at reports that he had
been located in Long Beach.
Attorneys for the woman declared
that it had been necessary for
Monks to go into hiding to evade
a blackmail plot directed against
him.
Until recently, Monks had re-
ceived $1,000 monthly from his FAM
lily. This was stopped several
months ago, it was reported, be-
cause his relatives had not heard
from him.

jury in the San Diego federal court
to be guilty on two counts charging
smuggling of Chinese across the
international border into Imperial
Valley.
S. L. Yount, Max Llamas, Joe

viously had entered pleas of guilty.

Goodell, chief of the customs patrol
service here. Two were taken into
custody when the officer, with a
Calexico newspaperman, saw a
coupe come across the line east of
Calexico, and upon investigation
found three Chinese concealed in
the rear. of the coupe. The arrest
of the others followed.
