PERMIT is GRANTED
FOR BONUS MARCH
Parade to White House Will Be
Held Tomorrow to Pre-
sent Petition.

The Police Department has granted
a permit for a parade of bonus
marchers on Pennsylvania avenue to-
morrow at 2 pm.
Application for the permit was
made late yesterday by Harold Hick-
erson, secretary of the Veterans Ma
tional Rank and File Committee, who
announced there would be "at least
thousand" men in line.
Hickerson received permission from
Mai. Ernest w. Brown, superintend-
ent of police, for a parade between
John Marshall Place and the White
House.
After a check-up of potential
marchers, the Police Department an
nounced that scattered Stragglers"
intent on a bonus demonstration ar
rived in Washington last night and
this morning.
Police officials were inclined to
doubt, however, that the parade will
muster a thousand men. Hickerson
said that a committee would take a
petition to the White House at con-
clusion of the parade demanding cash
payment of the bonus. restoration of
veterans benefits and Federal food
and shelter for the marchers while
IN Washington.

joking. followed him and saw him leap
into the water. Sergt. j. C. Stats
and Pvt. w. L. Lundy of the Park
Police were at Seventeenth street and
Constitution avenue when notified
that man had jumped into the
Tidal Basin.
They hurried to the waters edge

INSANE MAN SOUGHT

Mad Gunman Die in Local

Heart, Remored for Operation,
Restored and Patient Lives
Victim of Hiccoughs for T,co Months
Cured, Medical Society Hears
in Reports on Progress.

"The patient is placed on fitting
microscopic table and his feet are tied
to a bar by canvas bandages. An
anaesthetic is given and the table is
then tilted so that the patient hangs
by the feet. His weight stretches the
muscles, correcting the overrising of
the fragments of bone, and allowing
them to be brought into proper and
normal alignment. AS the patient is
tilted the Horoscope is used to watch
the bones until they are in perfect
condition. The method is safer than
any previously used as no uncontrolled
weight, greater than the muscles nor
mally carry, is applied"
The treatment of cancer by the in
lection of colloidal lead into the cir
culation was described by DR.. Alec
Horwitz. The method is somewhat
radical since sufficient dosage must
be given to produce mild lead poison
ing. but it must stop short of the more
severe signs of this condition.
1t sometimes brings about remark
able improvement, DR.. Horwitz said,
but is not to be considered as a cure
and Is used only in cases which are
inoperable and do not respond to radi-
alton treatment. 1t can be combined
with X-ray treatment in some cases.
Iodine Injections.
One of the most recent advances in
medicine, it was reported by DR..
William P. Herbst, is the injection of
various iodine compounds into the
blood vessels for the purpose of max
ing the kidney draining system dis
tinctly visible on an X-ray lin. 1t is
especially valuable in determining
whether there ha., been a rupture of
the kidney and whether there Is need
of an operation.
During the past Winter there has
been small epidemic of generalized
neuritis in Washington, it was reported
by DR., Walter Freeman, and some
times there has been very alarming
paralysis of the whole body In all
these cases, he said, there has been
very rapid recovery through the ap-
plication of heat, changes in diet, and
treatment of infected teeth and ton
sis. Another quite common form of
neuritis, DR.. Freeman said, Is that
caused by alcohol and which often
follows protracted period Of drunk
enness. This Is painful and disabling,

STRIKE DISCUSSED
BY CONTRACTORS
Master Builders and Other
Employers Considering
Carpenter WaIkout.

Members of the Master Builders AS
sociation and other contractors on
Government jobs met early this aft
ernoon to consider their position in
the carpenters wage scale dispute,
which resulted in a strike yesterday
morning of about 1000 men, on union
jobs throughout the city.
Carpenters are insisting on an in
crease of ;712 cents an hour above
the old scale of 81 per hour, which
expired Monday night Carpenters
refused the temporary offer of $l.l0
per hour. put forward by the contrac-
tors. who had proposed this for go
days, pending further information
from the NJ R. A.
At the meeting of contractors this
afternoon it was understood that vir-
tually all contractors on Government
jobs were represented, whether they
belonged to the Master Builders AS
sociation or not.
There were no indications early to-
day as to the action the builders
planned to take.
Meantime, on Capitol Hill discus
sion broke out late yesterday on the
floor of both Senate and House in
regard to the labor situation, touch
ing partly on the Washington dis
putes and partly on conditions gen.
orally throughout the country.
Referring to allegations of "kick-
backs" Senator Copeland said his
committee held extensive hearings on
the subject. 1T is one of the vilest
practices of which l ever heard" he
told the Senate. Il suppose every
one is to blame for it, because the
laborerS themselves, in their anxiety
to get jobs-and We cannot blame
them for that in these days-have
indicated a willingness to make a
rebate. The story was told our COM
mittee that they would actually bid
against each other for the jobs by
putting matches in their hatbands
Two matches in the hatband meant
that particular man was willing to
turn back 50 a day, three matches
meant So day, and even 81 a day

be uncovered regarding this particu-
lar practice" Senator Copeland said

he said, and complete recovery may
require long time.
From S to 10 per cent of the pop
ulation are carriers of the amoeoa
which is responsible for the amoeolc
dysentery, of which there was SEN
sational outbreak in Chicago last Sum-
mer. it was reported by DR.. Mathew
White Perry. Especially where 1t oc-
ours in food handlers, DR.. Perry said,
this is a menace to public health. and
is likely to produce generally disabling
effects.
Common diseases of childhood, and
especially sore throats and tonsilitis,
are starting points of Bright's disease,
according to a report prepared for the
society by DR.. Paul Dickens. He urged
parents to heed such symptoms as
puffness under the eyes following re-
peated sore throat attacks. DR.. Dick
ems stressed that in treatment Of this
disease it is no longer considered nee
essary to deprive patients of meat.
Following the sessions this morning
there was a luncheon at the May
flower. at which Rev. Joseph r. Sizoo,
pastor of the New York Avenue Pres
byterian Church, was the guest speak
er. There will be a public meeting
this evening addressed by DR.. George

Notable medical and surgical prog
ress during the past year in Wash
ington is being presented. with case
reports, before the annual Scientific
Assembly of the Medical Society of
the District of Columbia, which opened
today at the society's building, 17l8
M street.
Among the surgical cases scheduled
for presentation were the following:
Complete removal of the pericar-
dium, or sack, surrounding the heart
during which operation the heart was
completely exposed and at times was
picked up and held by the surgeon
DR.. John R. Cavanagh, instructor in
clinical medicine at Georgetown Uni
versity, reported that the patient COM
pletely recovered from this operation
and that the defective heart action,
due to a great thickening of the walls
of this sack, was greatly improved.
This operation was performed by Dr.
Claude Beck.
Hiccoughs Cured.
Relief of a victim of hiccoughs
which persisted, with temporary re-
missions, for nearly two months by
the extreme procedure of exposing
and crushing both phrenic nerves
which control many of the muscles
of the diaphragm, was reported by
DR.. Arch L. Riddick. This caused
complete cessation of the hiccoughs
and less than two weeks later the
patient was able to leave the hospital.
From four to six months will be re-
quired before the partial paralysis
of the diaphragm can be entirely
overcome.
DR.. John j. Shugrue reported COM
plete recovery of woman who had
lost the sight of one side of both
eyes and was being treated for border
line insanity by the removal of a
brain tumor.
A new method of reducing frac-
lures of the leg bones was reported
by Drs. Edward Larkin and Fred 0.
Coe, which was described as follows
by the two physicians:
THE man on the flying trapeze,
swinging by his feet, gave the in
spiration for this method Of setting
fractures. 1t is used for fractures
Of both bones of the leg, between the
ankle and the knee, when the frag-
ments of bone are overlapping.

|CHECK, ORDERED
|BYHOPK|NS, S,BEGUN
F. E. R. A. Accountant
Tackles Books to Learn if
| Expense Is Excessive.
ICITY HEADS COOPERATE
| IN FEDERAL INQUIRY
Relations Continue Harmonious.
Outcome to Settle Further
May Grant.

Under orders from Federal Relief
Administrator Harry L. Hopkins, an
especially assigned investigator today
began a careful check of administra-
tive costs of handling emergency re-
lief funds in the District of Columbia.
The survey is being conducted by
Robert Watson, field statistician Of
the F. E. R. A. and an expert public
accountant. He conferred with Dis
trlct relief officials during the day and
was expected to begin his task by 60
ing over books in the local Office. At
Federal headquarters it was said that
no attempt was being made at
this time TO check eligibility of the rs
600 persons on the District relief rolls.
Audit to Be Made.
For the past week. Federal officials
have been making an informal study
of the local relief situation which
now costs upward of sl,0OO,OO
monthly. Satisfied that administra-
tive costs are excessive, Hopkins late
yesterday ordered an inquiry. An
audit of the books will be the first OBJ
jective
The inquiry also is expected to de-
termlne whether the number of en-
ployes administering local relief
nearly l 1000-is justifiable.
At Federal headquarters. it was said
that Commissioner Allen was prepared
to cooperate fully with Watson and
that there were no hard feelings" as
a result of the inquiry. Allen. him.
self, is on record as to the need of a
reorganization of the local relief ad-
ministration
Whether the District Commission
ers or the Federal inquiry would make
a special study of individual reliet
cases was a matter that has not been
determined. Maj. John c. Gotwals.
Engineer Commissioner. who expressed
the belief that at least one-third of
the relief recipients are not bona
flde residents of Washington. suggest
ed special study of 100 random cases.
The Commissioners, at their board
meeting yesterday, took no action on
the proposal.
Think Step Futile.
Federal officials explained TODAY
that an examination into 100 typical
cases would be futile. They suggested
1t would be necessary to look into
several thousand cases if a true pic
ture is to be obtained.
WatSon's inquiry into administrative
matters also will take cognizance of
reports that red tape" is hampering
relief.
Hopkins has allowed only $500 900
for local relief during the first two
weeks of May. The results of the in
vestigation. it was said will determine
largely whether the Federal admin
istrator will hold the months expenses
TO 100000 or grant an additional
5000, 900 as requested.
