'One He'll of a Business

CENATOR NYE already had claimed that their
~ profits on this business amounted to $751;
100000 so when the four Du Points of Delaware fin
ally get down to the matter of their love of peace,
they at least will have contest proving it.
They don't look as if they would take much per-
sonal pleasure in providing the makings of war. In
fact when the photographers touched off the first
salvo of flashbombs Mr.. Pierre Du Pont, who could
make you shell big enough to blow down a court
house in lick, jumped six inches from sitting
start
None of it makes sense, anyway.
The peace-loving Du Points of Delaware said
to own considerable stake in the Remington Arms
Company. An employee of the Remington Arms has
done the neatest job of wrapping up the philosophy
of the munitions business yet accomplished in this in
vestigation.
1t was Mr.. Frank Sheridan Jonas, the Remington
man in South America who wrote in confidential
letter in 1888:
1--WE certainly are in hell of business where
a fellow has to wish for trouble to make liy-
ing. The only consolation is that if we don't get
the business, some else will. 1t would be ter
rible state of affairs my conscience started to
bother now"

BOUNDARY CASE
HALTED Z WEEKS
Virginia to Present Its Argu-
ments January 3-Govern-
ment Rests.

Virginia will be called on to present
its case in the Virginia District
boundary dispute January 8. The
special commission adjourned after an
all-day hearing yesterday.
The District claims, with certain
exceptions, ownership to the high
water line on the Virginia shore as
it is supposed to have stood in 1871.
The Districts case was presented by
Henry H. Classic, special assistant to
the Attorney General.
Principal bone of contention that
has developed so far is the extent of
Alexanders Island, on part Of which
the airport now stands. Much oe-
pends on whether the island, now q
part of the mainland through filling
operations, really was ever an island.
The Government claims it was, but
Virginia will claim that 1t was always
part of the mainland.
The hearings yesterday ended on a
distinct note of holiday spirit after a
day in which it had been noticeably
absent. State Senator Frank L. Ball
was trying to pin the commission
down to a ruling that, the Govern
ment having rested its case, IL would
be precluded from presenting any
more testimony except strict rebuttal.
II am sure," ruled Commissioner
Charles H. Brough, former Governor
of Arkansas, that the honorable and
distinguished gentlemen from Virginia
and the equally honorable and no less
distinguished gentlemen from the Dis
trict Of Columbia may be relied upon
to do the right, the scholarly and the
gentlemanly thing. The hearing is
adjourned"

RANDOLPH TO SEEK.
ADDITIONAL POLICE.
House District Committee
Member Addresses BuSi-
ness Mems Federation.

Additional police personnel will be
sought for Washington by Represent
ative Jennings Randolph, the House
District Committee member, last night
said at a dinner of the Federation Of
Business Mems Associations in the La
Fayette Hotel. Randolph, who out
lined his ideas for more rigid law
enforcement in the District, said he
would demand money for more police
men when the District appropriation
reaches the House floor.
Six suggestions for combating crime
throughout the Nation as well as in
the District were made by Randolph.
/. A reward of $4,000 by the
American Bankers Association for
every person killed while trying to
hold up bank, and $25, 900 for every
person caught and convicted of the
crime.
2. Standing rewards should be Of
fered by cities for the arrest and
major crimes.
8. Immunity and rewards should
be offered all who double-croSs their
allies in crime such as kidnapping or
bank robbery.
4. Broadcasting companies should
be utilized to spread descriptions of
criminals being hunted.
5. Heavy prison sentences should
be placed on any unauthorized owner
of machine gun or any dealer who
sells one to an unauthorized buyer.
6. Every city should have vigil
ance committee made up of business
and professional men to inspect the
work Of law enforcement agencies.

SUIT FILED TO GET
Job IN TAX UNIT
New Yorker Who Passed
Examination Asks That
Others Be 0usted.

A new angle was injected into the
alcohol tax unit dismissal controversy
today when Samuel William Cohen of
New York City, who successfully
passed the recent examination held
for investigators, asked the District
Supreme Court to compel Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau to give
him q job.
Cohen asked that approximately
1000 employees, who failed the ex-
animation, but are being kept on in
duty status" without pay be dis
missed and their places filled by those
who passed the examination. He said
he was filing the suit on behalf of
himself and $500 other successful
candidates.
Cohen charges the duty status ar
rangement is illegal and contrary to
the expressed mandate of Congress.
He asserts 1t is "inimical to the
best interests of the country and con-
trary to all tenets and ideals of the
present administration"
The suit was filed through Attorney
Saul G. Lichtenberg.
It was said at the Treasury that
Cohen has no case. The fact that an
applicant passes civil service exam
ination, it was added, does not make
it mandatory that he be given job.
He simply must wait until he was
called for service, it was emphasized.

By the Associated Press.
A decline of $4,000 workers on in
dustrial pay rolls from October to Mo-
vember was reported today by Secre-
tary Perkins.
She said pay rolls fell of $3,915,00O.
Miss Perkins said she found the re-
port very satisfactory" however, in
view of an increase in non-manufac-
turing employment and what she
termed the lightness of the general
fall-off. November ordinarily shows q
decline, she said.
The Secretary said per cent in
crease In employment in manufacture
of agricultural implements also was
"very encouraging.
Despite gains in wholesale and retail
trade, anthracite and bituminous coal
mining and banks, Miss Perkins said,
the total employment went to the level
of July, 1881.
In October the level corresponded to
that of March, 1881, she added.
Total employment and pay rolls were
not given.

Destined to Be One of Main

Construction Of a utility bridge
across Independence avenue to link up
the administration building of the
Department of Agriculture and the

day was opposed by formal vote of the

This action was taken after the

the matter to a meeting of the Plan

their opposition on the ground that
Independence avenue is destined to be
one of the main thoroughfares Of the
city. The tentative program calls for
width of 80 feet near the Depart
ment of Agriculture and go feet near
the Capitol.
Single Arch Preferred.
The Planning Commission said that
II any bridge has to be built 1t would
prefer a single arch with a minimum
of so feet in length.
Prof. Henry v. Hubbard of Harvard

scape architect of the Planning Com
mission, said that his organization
must be the guardian Of the streets
of the National Capital and provide
for rapid movement Of trafdc here.
The problem Of the bridge is local
one for the Treasury and Agriculture
Department, the planners felt, but
their commission must take o city
