D. {. BEER BILL
DUE To PASS
NEXT WEEK
Enactment Seen by Monday
As BIanton Threat SnagS
Measure for Present

Passage of the District beer
bill is due some time next week,
according to indications today.
The bill so far has not been
reported out, and indications
were that any attempt to bring
it up this week under suspension
of the rules would meet with OBJ
lection by Representative Thomas
L. Blanton CD Of Texas.
Tactics Shifted
That the measure will be passed
next Monday, however, was con
ceded on all sides. Next Monday
is the first District day in the new
Congress and the beer bill is the
only local measure on the calendar.
1t had been expected that sup
porters of the bill might seek a
special rule, but this alternative
was ruled out today.
With the House scheduled to
accept the conference report on
the Cullen national beer bill to-
day, Representative Vincent l..
Palmisano CD of Maryland, act
ing chairman of the House Dis
trict Committee and author Of
the District beer bill, is eager to
report it.
Since conferees agreed on a 80
beverage the local bill will carry
that alcoholic content.
Brief Hearing Planned
Senator Millard Tyding CD Of
Maryland, is head of the subcom'
mittee which is sponsoring the
local beer bill in the Senate, and
he is prepared to facilitate its
passage as soon as the House
acts.
Tyding plans to hold brief hear.
ings, which are expected to paral-
lei those held by the House Dis
trict Committee at the last seS
sion of Congress.

HENRY Staying
SUSPECT TRIED

Trial of Charles Harris, of
Philadelphia, on a charge of
first degree murder of Milton
Henry, local gambler, who was
put on the spot" last April, was
begun in District Court today.
Special care was taken by AS
sistant District Attorney Julian
Richards in selecting jury which
he was sure could not be intimi-
dated.
Richards said that the precau-
ton was taken because of the re-
cent report that an attempt had
been made to intimidate wit
ness.
Henry was killed as he drove
his automobile in front Of his
home early one morning.

Beer to Bring D. C. ST, 900
A Day, Donovan Believes

A potential revenue for the Dis
trict of Columbia of $365,000 a
year-$1, 900 day-is seen as a
result of the legalization of beer
by Major Daniel j. Donovan, Dis.
trict auditor.
Mr.. Donovan's calculation is
based on the assumption that
beer consumption here will aver.
age an eight-ounce glass per day
for each person in Washington.
This, he figures, would result in
consumption of 100000 ounces
day, or total of approximately
1000 barrels a day.
Since present plans call for a
local tax of 81 a barrel, in addi-
tion to the Federal tax of S. a
barrel, this would result in the
collection of $1,000 a day for
the local government.

Organization Democrats May
Draft CoIpoys Fearing Choice
of Ozark Horse"

Citizens and business mems
associations are actively getting
behind several candidates for the
District CommiSSionerships.
Names most widely heralded
are:
Arthur Clarendon Smith, presi-
dent of the Federation of Business
Mems Associations and head Of
the Smith Transfer and Storage
Company.
william NICK. Clayton, chair
man of the public utilities commit
tee of the Federation of Citizens
Associations.

DR.. George C. Havenner, for
mer head of the District Commit
tee of the Bicentennial and
prominent civic worker.
John w. Childress, agent for the
United States Lines, and former
chairman of the Public Utilities
Commission.
Harry c. Kramer, widely-known
civic leader.
John B. Colpoys, trade zionist,
who is being catupulted into the
arena by organization Democrats
who fear "a dark horse" may win
the race.
Colpoys, it is learned, may be
drafted-even against his will-by
the Democratic organization led
by John F. Costello.
Determined to have one of
their own leaders in the saddle,
local Democrats are centering on
Colpoys because he is a personal
friend Of President Roosevelt,
and because he has always been
a faithful party man. A native
of Boston, he came here 80 years
ago and has been active in civic
affairs ever since.

To LEARN
WHAT INQUIRY
HAS SHOWN
Amount of Shortage Remains
Unknown; Col. Cooper Seeks
Commercials Records

Directors of the Park Savings
Bank will meet this week in an
attempt to learn exactly what the
conditions of the closed institu-
tion are, it was learned today.
The directors will ask that the
conservator who was placed in the
bank a week ago today, a few
hours after the suicide of Robert
S. Stunz, vice president, meet with
them and tell them what facts
have been revealed about the
alleged shortage ir accounts of
the bank.
This shortage, which is said to
be at least 100000 and may ex-
ceed $1,O- 1000, was revealed in
two notes written by Stunz ''To
Whom It May Concern" and left
in his desk in the bank.
Officials ExOnerated
These notes exonerated any of
the present officers and directors
of the institution from knowl-
edge of the shortage. It was the
discovery of the notes that led
to the placing Of Department of
Justice accountants in the bank
to determine the extent Of the
shortage.
George E. Walker, chairman of
the board Of the bank, said to.
day:
81 have been asked to call a
meeting of thc board and ask
the cOnservat0r to attend and
tell us what has been devel.
Oped, as we are as much in the
dark as anyone.
From the notes Mr.. Stunz
left we believe there is a short
age, but we know nothing Of
its extent. When we learn the
condition Of affairs, we will be
in a position to start making
plans for reOpening the bank"
Cooper Seeks Records
Col. Wade H. Cooper, presi-
dent of the Commercial National
Bank, planned today to seek ac-
cess to the records of that in
stitution to aid in his plans for
reorganization Of the bank which
was placed in the hands Of a
receiver last month.
The president pointed out that
it is necessary that he obtain a
complete list of depositors before
naming a committee to assist
in the reorganization. SO far
he has been refused permission
to see the bank records.
John Dwyer, attorney, last
night voiced a protest against
the reorganization plan as out
lined by Colonel Cooper, assert
ing that vital points in the plan
were not explained and that the
depositors were not represented.
Two Expert Licenses
Officials of two national banks
which were not licensed to re-
open a week ago today, the
Franklin and the Federal Amer
lean, are busy on plans for re-
sumption of business, and it was
expected that these two banks
may be granted licenses within
the next few days.
Joshua Evans, jr., president Of
the District National Bank, sad
that as yet plans for reopeD;ng
that institution have not Jeen
completed.
Mr.. Evans said his bank is still
awaiting further instructions
from the Treasury Department
before decision will be made
as to reorganization or conSolida-
ton.
