CHARITY CRAVE.
FOR BABY
Little John Doe is going to re-
ceiun q "decentn burial

Little John Doe is going to re-
ceive a decent" burial.
Through efforts of sympathetic
Washingtonians, the little four
months-o infant, who was aban-
doned in a Washington theater a
month ago by his mother, will be
buried in Glenwood Cemetery to-
morrow.
At II o'clock, funeral services
will be held in the District Morgue
by the Rev. Calvert E. Buck, super
intendent of the Episcopal Eye
Ear and Throat Hospital. The
little emaciated body will be placed
in a satin lined, white casket
donated by A. j. Sardo, funeral
director in the 400 block Of H
st. N. E.
Clothes will be furnished by Mrs.
Daisy Delaney, once connected
with the Women'S Bureau.
The gloomy gray morgue on the
banks of Washington Channel will
be frightened with flowers sent by
members of the Lincoln exchange
of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company, Guide Broth
ers, Blackstone and Shafter.
Such a burial is made possible
through the offices Of j. B. Mccoy,
morgue master, and Mrs. Ruby
O'Gene, of the 900 block of C st.
S. w. Mrs. O'Gene, touched by
the prospect of a desoluate grave
for the infant, communicated with
authorities and The Washington
Times. She offered to donate a
lot in Glenwood Cemetery.
After a police investigation had
failed to find any trace of the
infants mother, Mrs. O'Gene's
offer was accepted. The child
died March % at Gallinger Hos
pital.
And tomorrow when the casket
is closed for all time, a silver
plate will reflect the dim light
in the morgue. On it will be
engraved these words:

'BEATEN,' CRIES
3-DAY BRIDE

Ten minutes after she was mar
ried last Friday her husband in
formed her that he was an ex-
convict, a pretty young bride testi-
fled in Police Court today where
the groom was on trial charged
with beating her.
The bride was Mrs. Nina Nc

achuSettS Ave. N. w. Found guilty
on a charge of assault, the groom,
Thomas McNichol, %, was sent
enced to pay a $25 fine by Judge
Isaac r. Hit.
When Mr.. McNichol revealed
that he had a prison record,
the pretty young bride testi-
fled, she refused to live with
him but returned to her former
apartment.
Mr.. McNichol took the stand
and admitted that he had a
prison record. He denied beat
ing his bride, but admitted that
he had been drinking when he
went to her apartment.

BY International News Service

The Administration bill confer
ring tariff bargaining power on
the President will be rushed
through the House as party
measure within 10 days, under a
tentative decision made by Demo
cratic leaders today.
Disregarding admitted dissat-
isfaction within their own ranks
and vehement Republican pro-
tests, the House leaders planned
to hold only very brief hearings
before demanding a vote.
Doughton Pleads For Bill
With passage by the House. Ad-
ministration leaders in the Senate
expect to open drive for speedy
action to forestall Republican
filibuster which might carry the
session of Congress far into hot
weather.
Chairman Doughton CD Of
North Carolina, of the House Ways
and Means Committee, said:
II believe that it is necessary
to confer this power on the
Executive until times become
normal. / do not see how we
can extend our foreign trade
without agreements. There is
no necessity for prOtracted
hearings, and 1 hope that the
bill can be reported out in a
week."
Representative Smell of New
York, Republican leader, assailing
the plan for speed, declared that
cit is typical of the Democratic
method of passing legislation
without real consideration"
Connery In Revolt
Representative Connery CD Of
Massachusetts, openly revolted
against the Presidents request.
He said:
II cannot accept any proposal
to have Congress give up its
taxing power. That is what
caused the Revolutionary War.
We haven't got the right to do
it under the Constitution"
While Speaker Rainey has con-
ceded there is opposition within
Democratic ranks, he is certain
the House will pass the bill.
Senator Vandenberg (R0 Of Mich"
igan sounded warning Of the Re
publican storm awaiting the bill
in the Senate.

Q.N.SD.-The most talked about
woman in the State of Indiana,
Sheriff Lillian Holley, was today
alternately crushed by the escape
of desperate John Dillinger and
defiant because of the criticism
being heaped upon her.
Fatigued after two sleepleSs
nights, Mrs. Holley was on the
job directing the widespread
search for the gangster, who
escaped from her custody Satur-

but he did say:
"This regrettabIe situation is
due to the breaking down Of
the human element, and we
are deeply disappointed with

altogether sure that a sheriff's

Jail Guard Is Suspected in
Desperado's Escape; Woman
Sheriff May Be 0usted

CROWN POINT, Ind, March 5
UN.S0.-A manhunt spreading
over four States failed today to
disclose even a hint that might
guide officers to the hiding place
Of John Dillinger, desperate
extraordinary who bluffed his
way out of the fortress-like
county Jail with a crude wooden
pistol.
Sheriff Lillian Holley, whose
ward he was, and other officers
directing the search, were con-
vinced that Dillinger had fouad
sanctuary in a pre-arranged hide
out within a 75-mile radius of
Chicago.
Jail Guard is Suspect
Out of a maze of conflicting
disclosures made by public Off
Otals here relative to the ease with
which Dillinger made his escape
It was revealed that the deSper-
ado'S flight was made possible
by the aid, either willing or un-
willing, of a jail guard.
A three-way investigation Of
Dillinger'S departure disclosed
that Sam Cahoon, first of the
many guards made captive by the
dilligent bank robber and killer,
IS a known casual with a police
record for habitual drunkenness
spreading over a 14-year period.
At the time of Saturdays jail
break Cahoon, although clasSed
as q guard and deputy sheriff,
was in fact a trusty and not a
recognized peace officer and was
an inmate of the Jail serving
out his time as handy man.
Search Is Pressed
Only five of the 18 guards
assigned to the task of guard
ing Dillinger until his murder
trial March IL were de jure dep
uty SheriffS. Cahoon, 81 years
old, was claSsed as one of these
five.
Sheriff Holley, the only 10
man sheriff in Indiana, was
conducting an independent inves-
tigation of her own while direct
ing one phase Of the manhunt
for the desperate whom she says
she would "like to shoot down
on sight"
The board of county commits
Sioners which designated Mrs.
Holley the successor to her hus-
bands office as sheriff when he
was slain a year ago, announced
it will demand that he resign
her office today pending COM
pletion of the investigation.
Dillinger and his companion in
the jailbreak, Herbert Young5lood,
q Negro accused of murder, were
last sighted near Peotone. H.,
about two hours after they es-
capped. Since then authorities
have received no authentic word
eS to their whereabouts.
Believes in HideOut
Because the pair were riding
IN an official automobile belong
ing to Sheriff Holley authorities
were convinced that Dillinger and
his Negro companion had gone to
o pre-designated hideout. The
speedy sedan, besides its official
Insignia, was equipped with red
and green headlights that might
lead to speedy Identification if
the car remained on the high
ways.

ON HER WAY To
PUERTOR|CO
Weather BaIks Hop to Miami,
But She Expects to Fly Sea
On Trips Second Leg
BY DOROTHY DUCAS
EN-ROUTE-TO-MIAMI, March


5 U.N.S0.-Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt today was on her way to
Puerto Rico for a glimpse Of
what the effect Of the depres-
sion would be on our country,
If 1t went on for three genera
tions."
The First Lady, establishing a
new precedent for Presidents
wives, left washington at 3:45
A. NJ, by train.
1t was the first leg of a jour-
ney which was to have been
entirely by air. Bad weather
forced her to desert her favorite
means of travel at the last mo-
ment.
To Fly Over Sea
She will go from Miami to
Haiti, Puerto Rico. and the Virgin
Islands by airplane, however. It
will be her first overseas flight.
Accompanied by Miss Lorena
Hickok, assistant to Harry l.. Hop
kins, National Relief Admins
traitor. and four newspaper
women, Mrs. Roosevelt has set
out "aS unofficially as possible" to
collect some first-hand informa-
ton on general conditions in the
distressed West Indian posses
sions.
Information Useful
Why? Her answer is:
Information is always use
full"
She wants to visit the homes OF
Puerto Ricans, the schools. hos
pitalS, plantations, and slum dis
tricts in that quest for informa-
ton which has led her into homes,
schools, hospitals and factories
throughout this country.
As she boarded this train, Mrs.
Roosevelt explained:
II am going because, ever
since the Puerto Rican chill
dren's feeding fund was in
augurated by Ted Roosevelt,
I've been interested in the ques-
ton of what really was the
condition of the people there.
TO CONSULT FRIEND
"A friend Of mine, Mrs. James
Bourne, is there. Her husband
happens to be relief administra-
tor and she teaches in the uni
versity and has gone all over
the island. When she was in
Washington attending the child
health conference she was very
serious on the question Of
Puerto Rican children.
$50 am anxious to get some
first-hand information"
Mrs. Roosevelt will be a guest
in San Juan at the governors
house, but she has asked Brig.
Gen. Blanton Winship, the COVER
nor, to provide her no escort and
to make no official engagements
for her.
Tugwell Talk Set
While there she probably will
confer with DR.. Rexford TugWell,
Secretary Of Agriculture,
now in Florida on his way to San
Juan to investigate with other ex-
pertS the islands agricultural
problems.
President Roosevelt is expected
to stop at Puerto Rico this sum-
mer when he makes cruise Of
West Indian islands on his way
to the Panama Canal End Homo
lulu. His wife's advance tour is
regarded in Washington as a pre-
liminary scouting" trip.
