The barred doors on nine brick
dormitories reopened at Lorton

tories.
The tense atmosphere is gone,
riot threats have been silenced,
and the wall-less prison is at

ming about 80 per cent efficiently.
In cell block, to the right

Rebels Ask Peace
They have asked for smokes
and a chance to be reinstated
in the normal life of the institu-
ton, but the superintendent is
waiting until all the "bad streak"
has been worn out of them.
Guards at the cell block, aug
mented by a small squad of Dis

to tell the prisoners that Cap

BIC CLIMB SEEN
IN MILK PROFIT

Tho profits of one large local
dairy have jumped from 8 per
cent in 1928 to 40 per cent in
the first five months of 1882, &C
cording to Elwood H. Seal, spe-
cial counsel for the Senate sub
committee which is investigating
milk prices in Washington.

tee show the company's greater
profits.
He is investigating reports of
price discrimination by dairies

Roosevelt Plea
For Repeal
hks Drys

President Roosevelt exceeded
his authority in his appeal for
prohibition repeal, according to
a statement by the national
prohibition emergency commit
tee. The Presidents action was
described as:
"a departure from accepted
principles of constitutional gov
ernment so serious as to cause
deep concern to lovers of Amer
lean liberty.
"By oath of office the Presi-
dent is to preserve, protect and
defend the Constitution, not to
advocate repeal Of its prOvi-
sions, regardless of his personal
opinions on any constitutional
question which may be before

NEW DELAY HITS
HEARINGS ON
GAS VALUE
P. U. C. Adjourns Session for
"Not Less Than 80 Days."
Civic Charges Cause

Another indefinite adjournment
today delayed the gas company
valuation hearings before the
Public Utilities Commission.
The commission adjourned for
a period mot less than 80 days"
after issuing an order making the
Washington and Suburban Com
panies, principal stockholders in
the Washington and Georgetown
Gas Light Companies, party to
the hearings.
The action was taken on mo-
tion of William NICK. Clayton,
chairman of the public utilities
committee of the Federation OF
Citizens Associations.
Calling attention to former in
quiries into the ownership of the
gas companies, Clayton demand
ed that the question of owner
ship be made a part Of the pres
ent proceedings.
4uDA4C Suspicious
Clayton, in lengthy speech, de-
clared that the public is suspi-
cious of the mystery" surround
ing ownership of the local gas
companies. He charged that the
commission in its earlier efforts
to force return of the ownership
to local interests had not gone
far enough. He said the case
should have been taken to the
U. S. Supreme Court for decision.
He charged that the ownership
of more than 80 per cent of the
gas company stock by the Wash
ington and Suburban Companies
is an evasion of the La Toilette
act which provides that not more
than 20 per cent of local utility
may be owned by an outside
holding company.
Hearing Long Delayed
Clayton pointed out that the
Washington and Suburban Com
panies, being common law
trust, could not be prosecuted
under the La Toilette act.
The hearing has been long de-
layed, having been started more
than a year ago. For a long
time proceedings were delayed to
give accountants and engineers of
the companies an opportunity to
confer with representatives of the
commission on questions of values
in an effort to have evidence in
a more condensed form for pres
entation at the hearings.
It is expected sharp contro-
versy will develop over the right
of the commission to force the
Washington and suburban COM
panieS to appear at the hearings.

expenditure of relief funds by
public agencies is planned by
Senator William H. King CD OF
Utah, he declared today.

King said:
'T have received numerous
complaints that the Chest was
paying excessive salaries and
using entirely too much money
out Of its collections for admin
iStratiOn.
"I have been advised that q
director of the Chest was paid
an eXOrbltant salary after ne
took over his job.
PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW
"There may be some criticism
of my views of the matter,
which is unimpOrtant to me, for
I believe that the public should
know If there is grounds for the
complaints"
Senator King said that he
would demand of Board of Public
Welfare Director George S. Wilson
and Leroy Halbert. administrator
of public relief funds in the Dis
trict, a statement disclosing the
channels of expenditure of relief

PAY CUTS BOOST
CLINICS USE

The effects of the Federal fur
loughs and pay cuts are begin
ming to be felt at the Children's
Hospital, where free clinic and
child welfare department is con-
Quoted daily.
The number of cases treated at
the clinic in June showed an in
crease of II per cent over the
same month of 1882, while visits
at the child welfare department
have gained per cent. Equally
important is a decrease of 20 per
cent in hospital days, where Serv-
ice is paid for by the patient.
A tremendous increase has been
noted in the number of cases
treated by the free dental clinic
of the Christ Child Society. In
stead of the three-days-a-week
schedule maintained last year, the
clinic is now operating every day.
The first five months of 1888 have
shown 100 per cent gain over
last year in the number of visits.

G.P.O, WORKERS
MUST REPLY

Two Government Printing Of
flee employees, suspended from
duty and facing dismissal because
of alleged participation in an
"undercover campaign" to over
throw provisions of the economy
act, today were given an op-
portunity to answer charges by
Wednesday,. =.
The employees, Frank S. Lerch,
assistant foreman and James E.
Rennie, a proofreader, are said to
have collected funds from other
G. P. o. workers to finance a
"lobby" in Congress to revoke a
provision of the economy act
which deprived the workers OF
$9OO,O00 for earned leave.
A third employe was restored to
duty by Public Printer George
Carter today. ,
The suspended men have had
their activities investigated by De-
partment of Justice agents since
G. P. o. officials were advised by
members of Congress of their So
called "undercover campaign"
The evidence accumulated by
the agents was submitted to
District Attorney Leo A. Rover,
who could find no violation OF
law in their conduct.
Apparently the men are to be
disciplined because they carried
on this campaign and did not
work in the open. Carter said:
'T have no objection to
G. p. o. employees taking what
ever legal action they choose
to recover what they believe is
due them. But / think such
action should be carried on
in the Open."

BLOOD Of 6 DUE,
WILSON DIES

Six fellow officers of Detective
Sergt. Harry K. Wilson, chief OF
the police homicide squad. found
that the death of the veteran de-
tective frustrated their plans to
offer blood for a TRANSMISSION
scheduled to be given today at
Gorge Washington University
Hospital.
Sergeant Wilson died last night
of complications following an op-
Grafton for appendicitis. Several
blood transfusions had been given
with blood donated by members
of the force.
III. K" was one of the best
known members of the detective
bureau. He was born near Hunt
ington, w. Va, in 1873, Joined
the police force in 1903 and be-
came precinct detective in 1920.
In 1926 he was promoted to de-
tective sergeant.
When Frank S. w. Burke, de-
tective bureau head, picked a sue.
cessor to aJmes Springman. who,
as chief of the homicide squad,
died in January, 1882, Wilson was
chosen over numerous other can
didates. Under his leadership all
but three of the 80 murders of
last year were solved. Burke at
tributes the solutions to Wilson'S
leadership of the police squad.
Funeral services for Wilson
will be from the Chambers under

will be pallbearers. He is sur
vived by his widow and an 49,
year-old daughter.

Mr.. A. P. NJ. Fleming has made
this dramatic announcement, and he
is connected with the Metropolitan
Vickers Electric Company, which, un-
fortunately, makes me think that
some British engineers, recently con-
victed of crimes against the Soviet
government, may have inspired Mr..
Fleming. A good percentage of Brit

some branch of the Vickers network,

MEEKINS OUT
FOR CHAIRMAN
Raleigh Hears He Has As
pirations To Head
COP. In State
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH. Sept. 16.-W. e.
Meekins of Hendersonville is a
candidate for the chairmanshlp
of the State Republican executive
committee, his friends here re-
port. Meekins spent several days
here this week on business. He Is
a son of U. S. District Judge l. M.
Meekins of Elizabeth City, but
who spends much of his time hold
ing federal court here.
If elected chairman of the
State Republican executive COM
mittee, Meekins will try to do two
things, ne told his friends here, as
follows:
l. Administer the affairs of the
party without regard to any fac
tions or ciques and without any
dictation from any of these. .
2. Administer the office OF
chairman personally and not turn
the office over to an employed
secretary, as has been done in the
past. 9,
The state chairman is elected
by the State Republican conven-
ton for a period of two years, so
that he will have had at least a
years experience before having
to undertake the direction of a
presidential campaign. Thus the
new chairman will be elected by
the state convention in April or
May of 1884 and he will hold Of
fee through 1884 and 1885, and
be in charge of the campaign both
in the off-year campaign in the
fall of 1884 and then of the presi-
dental campaign in the fall OF
1885.
Tn. feeling in Republican cir
cles in this section of the state IS
that the faction of the Republican
party headed by Chairman James
M. Duncan of Greensboro has
been in control of the party ma
chinery long enough and that the
time has come to make a change
They believe Meekins has an ex-
cellent chance to bring the varl-
Gus factions in the party together
and weld it into a single, smooth
w functioning organization. 1t IS
F! also agreed that if the party Is
going to be able to do anything
either next year or thereafter
better cooperation and more
unified leadership must be oD-
tanned.

The bituminous coal operators to-
day accepted a code of fair prac-
tice for the industry and began
signing the document, with indi-
cations that practically the entire
soft coal industry would be bound
to the document by early this af-
ternoon.
A discussion Of wage contracts
between the United Mine Workers
of America and operators of the
Appalachian group is in progress,
with efforts still being made to
reach an agreement simultaneous
w with the approval of the code
by President Roosevelt later to-
day.
Signing of the code by indi-
vidual operators is necessary be-
cause the code is not sponsored
by any one organization or trade
association.
