CAPITOL LIFT
INPER|LS %

Twenty Representatives had the
scare of their lives today when
an elevator fell a few feet at the
Capitol Building.
Presence of mind of Mario Pi-
Sara, elevator operator. prevented
injury to Representative James A.
Frear (R0 of Wisconsin.
The mishap occurred two mir
utes after the House had con-
vened. Pisarra attempted to make
a landing at the House floor, ard
as he opened the door, the ma
chine slipped and began to de-
Scend. .>-
Representative Frear in the
front rank had one foot out OF
the elevator at the time and was
showed back into the Car by Pi'
Sara, who slammed the door
shut and got the car under con-
troll.
He then descended to the
ground floor, where several Of the
members alighted, preferring tc
walk up the steps. PiSarra car
ried the remnants of the load to
the House floor without further

Capitol Policeman I. r. Bacca
enjoys the distinction today OF
having had the temerity to try
to stop President Hoover'S auto
mobile.
It happened yesterday when the
presidential party was en- route
to the White House from the
Union Station where it detrained
after the trip to the Coolidge
obsequies.
Bacca, on duty at the south
east end of the Capitol, was said
to have blown his whistle when
the presidential car went through
red signal light.
Secret Service men in the fol-
lowing car motioned him to keep
quiet. At about the same time
Bacca recognized the presidential
shield on the vehicles, a little
detail he had overlooked when
the presidential car passed.
Baca has been a member Of the
Capitol police force for some time
but most of his duties have been
in the House Office Building. He
has only been on outside duty on
the Capitol grounds a little more
than a week.

The Blaine resolution, calling

ratification by legislatures within

legislation prohibiting a return OF

Conventions Out
There was considerable discus
sion over the method Of ratifica-
tion but the legislature plan was
adopted finally because 1t would
be far less expensive than ratifi-
cation by special State conven-
tions. The two major party plat
forms called for the convention
system but the committee decided
against that method because OF
the expense.
It was the first time since pro

KIRK BOMB
LINKED To
BOOTLEG
GANG
Same Method Used Recently
to Blast Still; Services
Held for Visitor

LEONARDTOWN, Nd, Jan.
9.-Local authorities will ac-
company Harry Gouph, Of
Waldorf, dynamite expert, to
Chaptico this afternoon to ex-
anime the automobile in which
Miss Ida Kirk, IA, was mystic
riously killed by violent ex-
plosion.
It has been established that
the bomb was planted under the
drivers seat near the muffler,
and evidently the cap used to
detonate the explosive was Of a
type that would operate through
the action of heat, rather than
the usual percussion cap.
Shotgun Shell Found
A shotgun cap, it was indi'
Gated, probably would serve such
purpose. A shotgun shell was
found near the scene.
Use Of such a cap made 1t
possible for Miss Kirk to drive
her car for considerable dis
tance before the detonation OF
the dynamite, it is believed.
Possibility that Miss Kirk may
have been backing a campaign
against bootleggerS in this section
was indicated as motive, in
view of the fact that a similar
device was used recently in blow
ing up the still during a moon
shine war near here.
It was announced today that a
fifth person had been questioned,
in addition to those whose names
already had been mentioned in
connection with the case. This
was Daniel Davis, garage pro"
prietor at Chaptico.
No Clues In Effects
Examination of Miss Kinks ef-
fects has been futile thus far, so
far as clues are concerned, and
the authorities have been unable
to discover that she had any
enemies.
The possibility that financial
profit may have been the purpose
of the plot led today to a search
for and examination of any wills
Miss Kirk may have made in re-
cent years. She was a woman
Of wealth, having inherited for
tune from her parents and other
relatives, and was reputed to en-
joy an income of $4,000 a year.
Her Movements Watched
A further point considered sig
nificant is that Miss Kirk Gus
tomarily made trips TO Washing
ton on the seventh Of each month.
She would visit the home Of
her friend, Mrs. j. T. Gibson, wife
of the rector of Christ Episcopal
Church, Chaptico, where funeral
services were held this afternoon,
and remain there the night of the
sixth. On the following morning
she woult- continue on the way to
Washington.
Evidently some person fully
aware of her custom in this re-
Spect took advantage Of the op-
portunity to plant the bomb in her
car, presumably while it was
parked in the driveway at the Glib
son home.
John Gross, IS, the colored man
arrested by the local authorities,
is still in their custody. He has
been subjected to severe question
ing, but there has been no tangible
