NEW WORRY
FOR SHERIFF

Wild screams echoing through
the night caused no end of excite
men in Brawley late yesterday and
brought out members of the sher-
ifs office and traffic patrol to
investigate what was thought to be
an attempted kidnapping or even
murder.
According to the report made Of
the affair a REQ coupe with no IL
cense plates displayed streaked
through Brawley at over go miles
an hour at 1880 o'clock last night.
Wild screams, evidently from some
feminine throat were heard COM
ing from the car but no female was
evident and the machine was ira
yelling so rapidly that clear view
of its interior could not be had.
Telephones we're brought into
use and a car answering the des-
cription was stopped in Imperial at
11:05. Bob Hardy, of Glendale, en-
route to Phoenix, was the driver
of the car, alone. A thorough in
vestigation of the machine was
made and no evidence unearthed
which proved that any other per-
son had occupied the machine with
him, nor was there any sign of
struggle having taken place.
One item was discovered, how
ever, which might go long way
to clear up the mystery The car
was equipped with radio and
while the report does not state so,
it may be that Hardy was enter
tanning himself during the long ride
across the 6eserC by listing in on
some wild and woolly broadcast.
This at least would account for the
shrieks for help which were eman-
ating from an otherwise womanless
car.
Hardy was released by the off,
GERS who had stopped him after a
short Investigation

BOARDS VACANCY
MAY STOP HEARING
Resignation of Patrick
Threatens Delay in Inquiry
Into Gas Company Value.

Unless a new member Of the District
Public Utilities Commission is named
before Monday, to fill the vacancy
created by resignation of Maj. Gen.
Mason M. Patrick, the scheduled hear
ings on the valuation of local gas COM
panies properties probably will be post
poned, it was indicated today.
The resignation of Gen. Patrick.
effective Saturday, has been accepted
by President Roosevelt. This will leave
but two members on the commission,
Mai. J C. Gotwals. Engineer Com
missioner of the District, who Is able
to devote but limited time to the
commission work.
1t has been anticipated that a sue
cessor to Gen. Patrick would be named
quickly by President Roosevelt due to
the number of pressing and important
matters on the commissions docket, but
to date no word has been received as
to when the appointment will be made.
Hearing Often Postponed.
A physical valuation Of the proper
ties of the Washington and Georgetown
Gas Light Cos. was started more than
year ago by the commission and
hearings were started last Spring, only
to be postponed several times to per-
NIT rechecking of estimates. The hear
ing was resumed in August. but again
was postponed when the non-local
ownership interests were made parties
to the case.
The hearing then was set for Oc-
tober 2.
In addition to the gas valuation mat
ter the commission soon must attack
a mass of work dealing with changes
in the street railway system here to
bring benefits to the public from merger
of the Washington Railway & Electric
Co. and the Capital Traction Co.
Other work dealing with the tele-
phone valuation and rates, and the
valuation Of the street railway COM
panies, also await the commissions at
tention in the near future, it is ex-
planned.
Discount to Continue.
The 812 per cent discount on bills
for gas service in the District will
continue in force until December 81.
The Public Utilities Commission 50
ordered today The reduction in
charges Of the Washington & George
town Gas Light Cos. was ordered last
year pending completion Of valuation
of the properties Of the companies.
The period for the temporary dis
count has been extended several times
to await establishment of new values
for the companies and the present
period will expire Saturday. BY agree
ment with the companies. the commits
sion has ordered this period extended
to the end Of the year to allow more
time for the holding of hearings on the
valuation estimates.

SEEK FEDERAL AID
TO PUSH DISTRICT
MILK FIRM PROBE
Department of Justice Will
Be Asked to Survey
Dairy Concern.
BRIDE REQUESTS KING
TO EASE UP ON SEAL
Corporation Counsel Says Attorney
Has No Time to Do Legal
Division Work.

The Department Of Justice will be
requested to take> over an important
new phase of the investigation into
conditions in the milk industry related
to the Washington area. 1t was an
nounced today by Chairman King Of
the Senate District Committee
This will deal with acquisition by
National Dairy Products Corporation
Of financial interests in various dairy
concerns. The corporation has holdings
in widely-scattered sections Of the
country, including washington and
Baltimore.
This was to be a new line of inquiry
to be conducted by Elwood H. Seal,
assistant corporation counsel OF the
District, who Is special counsel to the
milk investigation group Of the Senate
District Committee. Because OF the ex-
tensive scope OF this phase OF the
question, however. Senator King has
decided to request the Department Of
Justice to conduct this phase OF the
work for Seal
Seal Remains in Charge.
Seal. however, will remain in charge
of the investigation for the Senate
committee and will appear as counsel
when hearings on the milk situation
here are resumed before the committee
some time next month.
Corporation Counsel w. w. Bride
called upon Senator King yesterday to
request that Seals activities in the milk
probe be curtailed as much as possible
in the future so he might take over
some of the work Of the city's legal
department.
Bride told the Senator the regular
work Of his department was being
seriously Handicapped because Of the
extra duties placed on its members.
He pointed out that Seal has devoted
nearly all his time for the past several
months to the milk investigation; an
other assistant is devoting virtually
all his time to the work of the Beverage
Permits Board; another Is engaged in
a study of bread prices; three assistants
devote considerable time to traffic mat
tiers and others must give time to police
and firemen trial board and retirement
cases. Still another assistant must de-
vote most of his time to the handling
Of street assessment controversies, Bride
said
Senator King indicated however, that
while he will ask the Department of
Justice to look into the question Of the
extent of the control of National Dairy
Products Corporation over the milk in
dustry, 1t would be necessary for Seal
to continue as council for the Senate
Committee milk investigation since that
| investigation is nearing its climax.
Independent milk distributors in the
District, not members of the Maryland
Virginia Milk Producers Association

policies and to demand full representa-

gency relief, and 81 employees, will be
made late this week or early next week

turn is expected within the next three
or four days.

proved today by Administrator Hopkins.

with surveying the transient situation
here and will submit report of his
findings, along with an organization to
execute the program. to Morris Lewis,
Federal director of transient activities.
Heretofore transients of the District
have been handled by the several mis-
sions Of the city, most Of them members
of the Community Chest. Under the
new set-up, Federal funds will be al
located for the work in case need for
them is shown in Rosichan's report.
Just what the fund will amount to has
not been determined and will depend
wholly upon the demands shown.
Must Be Cared For.
Administrator Hopkins already has
made known that he will not tolerate
next town." but will charge the Dis
care and, so far as practicable, their re-
storation to gainful occupations.

lined calls for a transient center"
strategically located to handle the job
less wanderers. In charge Of the centers,
trained social workers are to be en-
ployed to carry on the work of rehabili-
tation
As to the salary increases ordered for
District workers. including a $500 an
nual increase for Halbert, Hopkins has
announced no Federal money will be
allowed to meet the pay raises without
his approval or at the expense of 81
other employees whose salaries have
been reduced.

manded to show the sources of funds
already spent for the higher pay scales.

Has Not Submitted Formal

he intends to resign from his ofhc1al
post to enter private practice In the
near future.
