CALLED
LIFE MENACE

The Governments temporary
buildings are a menace to life and
property, Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant
director of Public Buildings and
Parks, today declared.
Decrying the present use of the
wartime structures, Colonel Grant
said:
Temporary buildings en-
danger life and property. They
cause discomfort to personnel,
with resultant inefficiency and
expense as, for instance, in 1880,
when loss of time on account of
hot weather cost $143,OOO.
'They are expensive to heat
and, at intervals, require expen-
Sive major repairs, such as re.
placement of rotten underpin-
ming and floor supports and re-
covering roofs. Poor ventila-
tiOn also makes it impossible to
concentrate as many persons in
the buildings as would be posi-
BILE in a modern building of the
same size. There have been ap-
prOximately 200 fires in tenn
pOrary buildings alone during
the past eight years."

FARLEY DELAYS
DOLE Of D. c.
PATRONAGE
Faithful 20 Be Rewarded But
Not Till After National
Slate Is Cleared

National politics have reached
such proportions, and command
so much attention, that the local
Democrats are at a standstill.
With the prospects of spring
being greeted with book beer
signs, even those who are actively
interested can hardly keep their
minds on the question of District
CommissioneYships, who will be
the successor of Leo Rover, United
States district attorney, and is
William Bride, corporation coun-
sci, a Democrat or a Republican.
National Situation First
All this is not to say that the
local political pot is not boiling.
It is boiling, but it is not boiling
over. Here is the reason:
Nothing is going to be done
about all these local jobs until
Postmaster General Farley gets
out from under the national
load.
word went forth yesterday that
District Democrats who played
the game will be reWarded-and
that all carpet-baggerS, per Sc,
are out of the picture.
For the benefit Of all those
who have high hopes and low
scores-who did not go to the bat
in the last elections-it might be
said in passing that they haven't
a Chinaman'S chance"
Crosby to Stay On
In accepting General Crosby's
resignation yesterday as District
Commissioner, President Roose-
velt asked the retiring officer to
remain a while longer. The wise
acres interpreted this as mean
ing only one thing: No success
sor to Crosby will be appointed
until careful consideration is
given all prospective candidates.

TRIED To STEAL
PARKED AUTO,
IS CHARGE
Gun Play Figures in Clashes;
Rum-Laden Machine Twice
Escapes Capture

Gunplay early today marked
the escape of two automobiles
occupied by colored men and
which were halted by police, one
because the occupants were sus-
pected' Of trying to steal an au.
tomobile and the other as an ap-
parent rum runner.
In both cases police fired at
the fleeing automobiles after at
temptS were made to run them
down, they said.
Policeman John L. Magnus,
Tenth precinct, fired six shots at
a large dark coach occupied
by four colored men at ontario
Road and Lanier Place North
west. The shots shattered the
rear windows.
One Treated for Wound
Magnus said he saw the car
halted near a parked automobile
and one of the occupants was
trying to start the parked car.
When he yelled this man and all,
other got in their own car and
the driver tried to run over the
officer.
Shortly after $3.50 a. M,
Joseph Moultrie, 20, colored, 240O
block Ontario Rd. N. w., applied
at Freedman's Hospital for treat
ment for a bullet wound in his
right foot received near Adams
Mill Road and Eighteenth Street
Northwest, the hospital authori.
ties said.
Learning of this, Second pre-
cinct police arrested three other
colored men for investigation and
said they found bullet-riddled
car answering the description
of the one sought.
Motorcycle Policemen G. W.
Cook and John R. LeFoe said
a suspected rum-running car
tried to run them down follow
ing a chase in which they were
Smoke-screened and which be-
gan near Fourth and o Streets
Northwest.
Thwarted BY Smoke
The pair said they saw two
colored men unloading liquor
from the car. The men jumped
in and drove off. The policemen
pursued, but gave up because
of the smoke.
They returned to where the
car was being unloaded and lay
in wait.
About 3 a. M, they said, the
car returned and an attempt was
made to run over them. Both
fired through the windshield and
side windows. The car escaped
again.
Theft of $10O by a burglar who
worked the combination of a safe
in his office in the 1900 block
Connecticut Ave. N. w. has been
reported to police by Austin L.
Zachary, real estate dealer.
OSpurn Connell, taxicab driver
of the 500 block Seaton Place N.
E., was robbed Of $3.50 last night

Sen. Copeland Asks Wider
Power for D. G.. Heads

Asserting that the abundance
of petty District legislation piled
before Congress hampers enact
ment of more important legisla-
tion, Senator Royal S. Copeland
OO, of New York, today moved
to introduce bill granting ad-
ditional powers to the District
Commissioners.
The New York Senator, a mem
ber of the Senate District Com
mittee, today requested Corpor-
alton Counsel William w. Bride
to incorporate a bill which would
widen powers of the city heads.
A similar bill was introduced
some time ago by 'enator Will
lam H. King (DD, of Utah, new
chairman of the District Com
mittee.
Numerous petty bills, such as
paving or opening streets or dis
interment of bodies are constant

Herbert Gets 80
DavS in Jail

Herbert Hoover, colored, was
sentenced to 80 days in Jail in

BOWLES PLEADS
FRAME

Claiming in his statement to
the jury that he is the victim of
a "frame-up," Norman S. BowleS,
disbarred attorney, today began
his defense to a charge that he
embezzled $17,500 from Miss
Christine Rock.
The Government rested its case
against Bowles in District Su'
preme Court today after placing
two lawyers of an automobile
agency on the stand to testify
that Bowles bought two auto
mobiles, paying $3,100 cash for
them, shortly after the alleged
embezzlement occurred.
BIackmail Charged
A. w. Lapin, a prosecution wit
ness, had testified that the
money was obtained to settle a
claim which Miss Rock brought
against Edward B. Dean, wealthy
real estate man, after Lapin and
Bowles had laid a plan for black
mailing Dean.
Thomas P. Jones, brother-in-law
of Bowles, in teStifying for the
defense, said that Lapin had on
several occasions attempted to ex-
tort money from Bowles through
him.
Later Bowles took the stand in
his own defense and denied that
he had any part in the scheme to
blackmail Dean.
He said that he met Miss Rock
after Dean is alleged to have at
tempted to assault her, and be-
lieved her claim to be legitimate.
He told Lapin that the settle
ment was $4,000 instead Of $4,000,
he said, at the request Of Miss
Rock.

In the Future

A writer not named, is quoted the jacket Of "When
Worlds Collide, calling that novel without doubt the
greatest novel have read" On the jacket of Mi
chael Arlen's mans Mortality" writer by the name
of H G. Wells calls that book "a big worthwhile gesture
of the imagination" Both the recommendations are,
think excessive although both Of the books are inter
with imaginary future. Gabriel Over the White

Skullduggery; presently all is for

as cold as an icicle, as penetrating
as steel, and puts down the facts

it for the deplorable history of the
Bank of United States, in book
called Little Napoleons and Dummy
Directors. 1t is a case study, clear,

RICHMOND, Ind, Sept. Still
without any definite clews, officials
today resumed their search for En-

has been missing for a week.
The case assumed a new angle
with the appearance here OF & fed
eral agent He collected informa-
ton regarding Stover's disappear
ance. but did not reveal what GRIM

Slower telephoned Connersville po-

men had attempted to take him for

however. his abandoned automobile
was found near a water-filled gravel
pit at Cambridge City. His empty
pocketbook and parts of his cloth
ing were found nearby.
Sheriff Harry Thornburg searched
the gravel pit without avail and
more recently the Wabash river near
Rockville was dragged for Stover'S
body, following reports of a fisher
man that he had seen three men
throw a large bundle into the river
and remark:

and get out of here"
Thornburg said he was convinced
that the f1sherman's story had no
bearing on the Slower mystery.

at police headquarters pleading that
Earll's bond be reduced.
Mrs Earll asked one professional
bondsman to be security for Earlls
freedom, but he refused. Then she
appealed to a detective, telling him
that she and Earu had become rec
onciled and that she wished the
bond reduced to a figure which
could be met.
However, all her efforts failed
Charles j. Karabell, municipal judge
