Policeman Gets
Horse as Auto.
GiiueS Out

Prince Georges County Police
man R. A. Naylor, Of the Upper
Ma. lboro station, today carried
out his threat to buy a horse If
the board of county commits
sioners failed to get him a new
car to replace his old, wornout
one.
"Percival" is the horses name,
but he is anything but the type
for the name, weighing about
half as much as the old car. The
policeman got a gray, however,
so that criminals can run when
they see him coming in the
dark.
He paid $100 for him, which
the policeman said was about
the same as his oil bill for last
month.

Craig Man Noses Out Lo- cal Candidate in Returns
 from Southern Towns

Twenty-six votes cast at Myers Chuck and Kasaan for A. P Walk CT. Craig, to six for Henry Mes serschmidt, Juneau, put the former into fourth place on the Demo- cratic House ticket and probably nominated him with A. H. Ziegler, Joe Baranovich and Joe Green. Only one precinct is unreported- Loring-and the vote there is so small that it will hardly affect the results.
 Returns from two precincts were received yesterday afternoon at the office of Clerk of Court. They were from Myers Chuck and Kasaan. Os- car c. Olson gained 12 votes on Martin Harrais for Democratic nomination for Treasurer and Sen- ator Allen Shattuck added II to his lead over w. B. Kirk for the Senatorial nomination.
 Aside from the displacement of MT. Messerschmidt in the House race, no other changes were made in the standings.
 No additional returns were re- ceived from any of the other Di- visions during the day. The Terri torial vote for the Democratic nom- nation for Treasurer is as follows: First Division, Harrais 793, Olson 1,346; Second Division, Harrais 193, Olson 95; Third Division, Harrais 408, Olson GIT; Fourth Division, Olson $40, Harrais 578; total, liar rais 1912, Olson 2,398.
 There was no change in the Re- publican standings in this Division. Not single Republican ballot was used at either Myers Chuck or Kasaan. H. G. Mccain and Louis F. Paul are first and second in the House race. Frank H. Poster and H. R. Shepard are tied with 3l5 each and Walter B. King trails them with 308 votes.

WASHINGTON. May 2.-Strong criticism of the Administration mingled with praise before the an- nual United States Chamber of Commerce convention here.
 Henry Hartman, President of the Chamber, reported the new deals of the first year have been brightening the economic horizon everywhere.
 A. w. Robertson. Chairman of the Westinghouse Electric Board. said that planned economy is un- doubtedly necessary, but we need better plans and not more plans"
 Hartman asserted that actual unemployment has been reduced to four million. He praised aboli- ton of child labor and then laid down the rule that frank con- structive and helpful criticism is desirable from every standpoint, but rejecting and blocking desirable reforms will result in either na- tional suicide or complete revo- lution."

.DR. W. H. WEIGH PASSES AWAY
 IN BALTIMORE
Foremost Pathologiist of World, Dean ofMedicine,
 Dies of Cancer

BALTIMORE, Md, May 2.-Dr. William Henry Welch, aged 84 years, Dean of Scientific American Medicine, died last night at John Hopkins Hospital as the result of cancer. He was one of the five members of the original Johns Hop kins Medical school faculty, and one of the foremost pathologists of the world, known equally well in the centers of science in Europe and America.
 pr. Welch was born of long line of New England physicians in Norfolk, Conn, April 8, 1850, and attended Yale university, taking his degree there in 1870, and ranking second in a class of 150. For time he taught Latin and Greek, but abandoned the classics to attend the College of Physicians and Sur- geons in New York, now part of Columbia University, and gained a medical degree in 1875.
 
 Goes to Europe
 The pursuit of medical educa- ton then led him to Europe, and the next four years were spent in the universities of BreSlau, Strass- burg, Leipzig, Vienna and Berlin. On his return he began to teach the new science of pathology, in which later he was to become a world figure, at the Bellevue Hos- pital Medical College.
 While he was professor of path ological anatomy and general path ology at Bellevue, plans were be- ing made for the establishment of the Johns Hopkins Medical school, and Dr. Welch was brought to Ball. timore to take the chair of path ology, being one of the five mem bers of the original faculty of the institution.
 Climax to H0n0rs
 Dr. Welch's honors were climaxed April 8, 1930, when he was hon. ored simultaneously in America China and several European coun- tries with an international celebra- ton of his 80th birthday. Presi-

 DEAD IN EAST
Major General Hugh L,
 Scott Passes Away After Two Months Illness

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Major General Hugh l.. Scott, aged 84 years, former Chief of Staff of the Army, died late yesterday in the Walter Reed Hospital after an ill., ness of two months.
 When the exigencies demanded, Major General Scott fought with gun and saber, but more often dur ing his half century in the uni form he faced his enemies in friendly fashion and by preference achieved his outstanding successes by diplomatic rather than military tactics. But both in the struggles where he relied upon the force of arms, and those which hinged up- on the force of personality, he suc- ceeded with a regularity which won him many words of high commen- dation from his superiors.
 The Indians of the Western Plains, his first foes in battle. felt many years ago the inherent friendliness of the man, who later was to become their protector and their instructor in the ways of the civilization of the white man.
 In Service Abroad
 From the Sioux expedition Of 1876 through the successive Neg Perce and Cheyenne campaigns, to Cuba, the Philippines, and the Mexican border, General Scott s life was a never ending round of duty Between times he was called upon to organize and lead for five years command of Kiowa, Co., manche and Apache Indians; to in- tervene as chief investigator of the Ghost Dance disturbances of the Eighties; to assume charge of Geronimo's band of Chiricahua Apaches; to decipher for the Smithsonian Institution sign lan- guages of the Indians which he alone among the white men mas tered; and to take over various im- portant tasks in connection with the Cuban and Philippine cam paigns.

CON CONGRESSIONAL
 CAMP A|CN HAS BEGUN QUEERLY
Uncertainty Prevails in Both Party Headuarters
 Other Gossip
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated
 Press. WashingtOn)


 It would be difficult to recall any other Congressional campaign which has begun in the haphaz- ard fashion of that of 1884
 Both party headquarters are characterized chiefly by their at mosphere of uncertainty. Republi- can Chairman Sanders is on the sidelines, and talk persists of re- placing him entirely. Democratic Chairman Farley has said he would resign, but no one knows when, or who will succeed him.
 On both sides the conduct of the campaign is so decentralized that candidates hardly know whose ad- vice to take. AS the active weeks approach, central strategy seems entirely lacking. Besides, both or -ganizations are dead broke, deep in debt, still owing bills for hotel space, radio time and whatnot from 1892.
 No two politicians seem to agree what the issues are, and there are increasing cross-currents such as the troubles of Tammany, the con- tinued allegiance of some Republi- can Insurgents to the Roosevelt leadership, the quarrels of House Democrats, the persistent revolt of Democratic Congress against a Democratic President.
 Altogether, it is an amazing and bewildering situation.

Remaking Tammany

 Tammany's overthrow of the Cur ry leadership was accepted by ad- ministration politicians in Wash ington as a step in the right direc- ton, but only a step-a relished appetizer rather than a full meal
 Roosevelt lieutenants are not ex- pected to be satisfied unless and until the whole Tammany organi- zation has been made over on sweeping lines.
 They are not sure what leader ship will succeed Curry's. They would not be surprised if the bat tie has only begun.
 Administration men are thinking primarily of 1886; first of all they want a Tammany sufficiently loyal to the party to keep New York states big electoral bloc safely in the Democratic column.
 But some of them also are think ing beyond l936. They count on MT Roosevelt's being in the White House for eight years, and a long range program of remaking Tam

FISH HEARINGS SET FOR NEXT WEEK
CODE FORMING BE UNDERTAKEN
 3-DAY SESSION
Heads of Industry of Pa cific Northwest and
 Alaska Be Heard


 SEATTLE, May 2.-Deputy Ad- ministrator R. H. Fiedler said three hearings, covering many phases of the fishing industry of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska will be held here at the Olympic hotel next week Halibut will be taken up next Thursday, herring on Friday, preparing and wholesaling on Saturday.
 The proposed codes are intended to be supplementary to the master Fishery Industry code, and Deputy Administrator Fiedler, in charge of the MIRA Fishery Section, will conduct the hearings.
 Decline Experienced
 Both industries have experienced a considerable decline from boom times~ Capital investment in the halibut division declined from $5,- 520,O00 in 1929 to $2,85O,000 in 1883, employees from 2l61 to 1883 in the same period. The industry is con- ducted on the high seas and uses large fishing vessels. The peak of the Alaska herring industry came in 1928, when capital investment was $3,500,000 and 1892 workers were employed. In 1892 capital had declined to $2,500,000 and only 750 people were given employment. in 1883. however, there were about 1000 employees in the industry.
 Halibut Code
 Terms of an international con- vention between the United States and Canada regarding control of production are incorporated in the halibut code. Under regulations of the International Fisheries Com mission half the fishing fleet stays in port until 10 days after the-sea- son opens. and quota system is used to pro-rate the total permit ted catch.
 Minimum wages in the Alaska herring code are proposed at $55 a month when board and lodging are furnished; $75 otherwise. Piece work rates would be 55c for each 250 pounds Scotch full barrel of herring gibbed and packed Cooks would not come under maximum hours limitations.
 SUGGESTS WADE ATTEND
 The protest of the local Cham Der of Commerce against adoption of these codes without Alaska in- terests being given a chance to be heard has been taken into consid- eration, according to telegram re- ceived by Hugh J. Wade, Deputy MIRA Administrator for Alaska. He was advised that the Administra- ton understood it would be satis- factory to both the herring and Deputy Fiedler to attend the hear ings in Seattle.
 The National Labor Advisory Board will guard the interests of i. the fishermen as well as the ad- ministration in general, it was said
 MT. Wade has been asked by Deputy Fedler to attend the hear ings so that later he can discuss the codes with groups of fisher men in Alaska and through him they can present their case to Dep uts Fiedler before the codes are formally approved. MT. Wade said today he did not know if he would be able. to make the trip.
