Repairs for City
Machinery

RICHMOND,a Va, July 10.
Discarded parts of an old au-
tomobile and odds and ends of
brass thrown away as useless
have been used by the ma
chinists of the city water and
electrical department in re.
pairing one of the two big
750-horsepower turbines at the
booster station just below the
city reservoir in Byrd Park.
The big turbine has been in
operation "a hours a day since
it was installed several years
ago and was found to be get
ting a little rickety due to
wearing. Inspection by the
city engineers showed it could
be put back in shape and op-
Grated for two or three years
more.
So the turbine has been COM
pletely dismantled and the worn
parts replaced with new ones.
Consistent in their program of
economy, the mechanics used
a number of discarded parts
of automobiles and other ma
chinery in reassembling the
turbine.

ROAD MACHINES
GET STATE BID

The Prince Georges board of
county commissioners received
today from the Maryland State
roads commission a bid for the
road machinery and materials
that the commission can use
when it takes over management
of county roads. The commits
sioners probably will act on the
bid at their regular meeting to-
morrow.
A survey of machinery on
hand IS completed a week ago
by r. F. Going, of Baltimore,
purchasing agent for the COM
mission and his recommendations
are said to be the basis Of the
States bid.
The county commissioners are
expected to accept the bid because
they are few other prospective
purchasers and the machinery
will become obsolete within a few
years. District Engineer Joseph
CLANCY said larger machinery
will be needed for their work
when the preliminary work is
completed.

Auto Crash Checkup Traps
Bank Holdup Suspects

A Maryland State policeman,
painstakingly running out" the
ownership and driver of an auto
mobile in an accident on the Grain
Highway June Is, led Washing
ton and Philadelphia police into
the home of a man wanted in
the Quaker City for bank hold
ups and another man under in
dictment for a Washington bank
robbery.
In the crash a man giving his
name as John Murphy" was in
jured and was taken to the Cas-
ualty Hospital. State Policeman
j. E. Taylor, assigned to sub
station A at Laurel, went to the
hospital to interview Murphy"
Murphy" gave him fictitious ad-
dresses on three different occa-
Sions-two of them were lots and
one was Children's Hospital-and
the policeman became suspicious
that Murphy" was in hiding from
police of some city.
Car Ownership Traced
Tracing out the ownership of
the automobile he found that it
was owned by Terry w. Holmes,
of the 1900 block B st. S. E.
Holmes said he had loaned the
automobile to Joseph Williams,
1900 block B st. S. E., and he
did not know it had been in an
accident.
The suspicious circumstances
surrounding "Murphy's" home ad-
dress led Taylor to threaten to
post policeman at his bedside
unless he told his true identity.
Murphy" then told him, Taylor
said, that he lived with Williams.
Inquiry at the house showed that
no Murphy" lived there.
Description On Lookout
In the meantime, Taylor gave
a description of Murphy" to
Detective-Sergt. Frank o. Brass
and the pair quickly discov-
cred it tailed with that given

Long-AWaited Treaty Comes
Into Effect Today, Rati-

NEW YORK, July 10 Q.N.SO
Hailed as the most smashing
blow ever struck against dope,
the long-heralded anti-narcotic
treaty which has been ratified
by SO nations became effective
today.
In a nationwide broadcast Capt.
Richmond P. Hobson, president Of
the World Narcotic Defense AS
Sociation, said:
This pact puts in operation
laws to smother the illicit mar
cotic dealerS-modern pirates
who prey on all mankind.
'Tt took years of stubborn
fighting to obtain ratification
of the treaty by the required
25 countries. The twenty-fifth
signed last April TO-"
The United States was second
to sign and Captain HobSon
pointed to Senator Borah as the
man who deserves most credit
for Americas ready ratification.
The treaty grew out of a con-
ference which met in conjunction
with the League of Nations at
Geneva during the summer Of
1881. Hobson said President
Roosevelt exerted his favorable
influence while governor of New
York and after his arrival at the
White House.

AS the first hearings got under

labor and capital seemed to sense
suddenly what powerful prece-
dents might be created, and the
atmosphere became very tense.
Meantime, the situation as to
the London economic conference
could hardly have been more con-
fused than it was. The state de-
partment stood on the sidelines
while special ENJOYS rushed be-
tween the Amberjack and Lon
don, and Bernard Baruch APP
peared in Washington with some
sort of commission extraordinary.
Meantime, too, patronage
(Which only the president could
dispense) was causing Postmaster
General Farley more and more
trouble, with some of the demo-
Gratis in congress almost frantic
in their demand for jobs for con-
stituents. The farm administra-
ton ran into new difficulties. and
the public works administration
was swamped with requests.
A tremor Of deep human
tragedy ran through the ranks of

who could not get employment
