1 N axman who has chopped wood

A N axman who has chopped wood
~ before kings and presidents and
II who had the distinction of
1 \ teaching the finer points of
cutting to ex-Kaiser Wilhelm
of Germany. has come to Washington
to demonstrate he can make an ak
talk.
To Pete McLaren. 52-year-old Aus
tralian, the ring Of an ak on a log
is the sweetest music in the world. In
fact, he likes it SO well that when he
takes a vacation from his job as wood
chopper. he chops more wood. For 40
years now he has cut more than 1000
logs annually.
But I've never cut perfect log, "
said Pete. You know every blow of
strike. but it Is like golf, almost i'm
possible to make a perfect score"
Pete has exhibited his prowess with
the ak before King Edward and King
George of England, the Kaiser and
Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Taft,
Wilson and Harding.
The only real wood choppers in the
world are in Australia, according to
Pete. Never has an American or a
Canadian defeated him, except after
he had allowed a so per cent head
start. the husky Australian claimed.
Pete won his last world championship
in Australia in 1906, cutting 16, 18
and 20 inch logs more quickly than any
Of his competitors. Then he started
touring the world, eventually winding
up with Ringing Bros. circus, where
he stayed for 18 years.
He was at the Washington Audi
torium today, exhibiting axes for a

Baxters automobile, parked near the

refused to allow it to be moved. Final
ly an employe of the ball park in

BOOTLEG MURDER
Tip" GIVEN POLICE
Woman May Be Involved in
Information in Jones
Staying.

Homicide squad detectives continued
their investigation of the Jones murder
case with renewed vigor today, after
receipt of information which. they
thought. might give them the break"
for which they have been waiting.
Both Capt Bernard w. Thompson,
assistant chief of detectives, and De-
tective Sergt. George E. Darnall, acting
chief of the homicide squad, refused to
reveal the nature of the information or
the source from which it was obtained.
That the investigators were banking
heavily on the information was indi-
Gated, however. by the speed with which
they prepared to swing into action.
Thompson ordered two automobiles
prepared for immediate use and Darnall
instructed members of his squad to
stand ready for action on a moment S
notice.
Indication that woman might be in
volved in the burst of activity was given
by the fact Thompson and Darnall held
a lengthy conference regarding the ad-
visibility of having a representative OF
the Women's Bureau accompanying
them.
Meanwhile, the Staying victim. Charles
w. Jones, jr., 80. was buried in Cedar
Hill Cemetery after services at pm.
in the W. H. Sardo chapel, 412 H street
northeast.
Jones was shot Monday as he and
three other men idled in an alley In
the rear of the Government Printing
Office. Because he was leader of boot
Logging gang, the detectives believe he
was killed as a result of feud with a
rival group of bootleggers.
A coroner's jury was sworn In over
his body yesterday, but Acting Coroner
A. Magruder Macdonald said no date
would be set for an inquest until after
the police investigation has been COM
pleted.

M|X-UP FORCES 80
TO WAIT FOR PAY
inexperienced Field Agent
JumbIeS Time Schedules
of Relief Workers.

Thirty employees of the Districts
Emergency Relief Bureau went unpaid
last Saturday because of mix-up OF
the time schedules reported by a field
agent, it was revealed today
Leroy A. Halbert. director of emer-
gency relief, said the wages of some OF
this group already had been paid and
the rest would receive their money to-
day, upon completion of . ref1guring
of sums due them.
Halbert said the mix-up was caused
by the work of an inexperienced field
time keeper. Some of the 30 workers
who were in need of money over the
weekend were given advances ON their
salaries, he said.
Meanwhile it was revealed the re-
lief bureau is to lose two more trained
employees as a result of the decreases
in pay put into effect when the per-
sonnel of the District Committee on
Employment was taken over by the Dis
trict September l.. Three such en-
ployes already have resigned.
Changes in the pay scale were made
upon recommendation of the Emer-
gency Relief Committee of the Board
Of Public Welfare, which is headed by
Sidney F.. Taliaferro. The changes
were made, it was announced. to equal
ize the pay of former employees of the
Employment Committee and those of
the emergency relief workers of the
Welfare Board. The pay of SO was in
creased by s14.822 a year, while the
pay of q others was reduced by S.
767 year.
George S. Wilson, director of public
welfare, will submit Monday to Harry
L. Hopkins, Federal Relief Administra-
tor, a report on the changes in the
pay scales, as requested by Hopkins.

ALLEY CLEARANCE
COMMITTEE TO Be
L NAMED BY DELANO
Public Works Official Asks
Group of Ten Be Selected
to Make Study.
MRS. ROOSEVELT IS ONE
OF SPONSORS OF WORK
Project Approached From Angle
of Making Capital Model
for Other Cities.

The projected Washington alley
clearance program which would be car
ried on out of the public works fund
took a definite step forward tooay
when Robert D. Kohn, chief OF the
division of housing of the PUBIC WORKS
Administration requested Frederic "a.
Delano to name committee OF lo
prominent Washingtonians to serve
with him on board to drect tne
final phases of the housing study;
Slum clearance in washington mas
been the subject for several weeks Oh
intensive studies by Mr.. Kohn's or
ganization. and frequent conferences
have been held on the subject.
Mrs. Roosevelt Interested.
Mrs, Franklin D. Roosevelt is known
to be intensely interested in clearing
I'D Washington's unsightly and IN
sanitary alleys The project has been
approached from the angle OF making
Washington sort of proving ground
for this sort of public works project,
with two definite plans being worked
Out
One of these plans is for more or
less conventionally low cost housing
construction. while the other contem-
plates actual clearing out OF unslghtly
alleys which have been breeding crime,
illness and immortality for many years
Mr.. Delano. an uncle of the President
also has been interested in elimination
of alley conditions in the District 1or
many years. He has 10 days In Wnlch
to name his committee.
Many Conferences Held.
John Ihlder. housing consultant Tor
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission. has had frequent con-
ferences with both Mr.. Delano and MI
Kohn. and it is expected that his ad-
vice and counsel will play large part
in the final project which will be SUP
mitted to the Public Works Board Tor
approval and allotment of funds.
Mr.. Kohn today said the washington
project still is largely in the study stage
and could give no definite estimate as
TO the probable cost. the probable num-
Der of housing units, or the prooaple
cost per unit to the tenants however.
he said. these factors are being STUDIED
