Four hundred special armed
thugs, employed by the Val O'Toole

These guards attacked and
slugged striking elevator operators

guards stated they were imported
from out of town by the O'Toole
company, which was retained by the
building owners to provide sluggers.

District Commissioners.
The request will be in the form

would supplement the $1,3O0,000
relief item already provided for

Commissioner George E. Allen
has estimated that close to 9 mil
lion dollars will be needed for re-

based on expenditures for the
current year, which already have
attained a total in the neighbor-

LORTON PROBE
WITNESS HAS
No PROOF
Former Convict Tells Board
Rep. Shoemaker Has Papers
Backing Charges

Investigation Of charges Of graft
at the District Reformatory at
Lorton, Va, received a setback
in its opening moments today
when Edward Bedell, star witness
against officials Of the prison,
failed to produce records to sub
Stantiate his charges.
Mr.. Bedell, a former convict
now on parole from Lorton, claims
to have had records which he
took from the prison files while
he was at the institution.
Did Not Have Data
When he was asked to produce
the records, which consist Of some
$50 acquisitions and letters, he
said they are in the possession
of Representative Francis H. Shoe
maker (F.-L.) Of Minnesota. The
Representative, Mr.. Bedell said,
refused to return the papers to
him, suggesting that if the inves-
tigators wished to obtain infor-
nation:
"They can go to LOrton and
get an armfuI Of files for them
selves"
Mr.. Bedell, who said he met
Representative Shoemaker while
they both were imprisoned in
Leavenworth, said he went to
the Representative only after he
had written to Melvin C. Hazen,
president of the Board of Dis
trict Commissioners, offering to
reveal irregularities at the re-
formatory, and received no an
SWer.
No Specific Charges Made
The former convict refused to
make an specific charges without
the records which he claims to
have turned over to Representa-
tive Shoemaker,
Under persistent questioning by
Judge M. M. Doyle, chairman Of
the committee on penal and cor
rectional institutions of the Board
Of Public Welfare, which is con-
Quoting the probe, Mr.. Bedell
finally said the missing papers
showed that some one was profit
ing on purchase made for the re-
formatory.
Questioned in Vice
After being questioned for more
than one hour on graft, Mr.. Be
dell was asked about charges Of
immortality at the reformatory.
He testified that he had heard
Of a number Of instances Of i'm
moral conduct among the prison
ers and that he had witnessed
such conduct on at least one oc-
casion.

Ask Tax Cut

Prince Georges county liquor

Forced to pay $1.80 more tax
per gallon for whisky, the NEARBY
Maryland dealers are experiencing
almost a complete shutout from
Washington trade, which was at
one time overwhelming.
Prices Cut rs Per Cent
While the dealers, both on and
off sale, have reduced their prices
since the death Of prohibition
more than Is per cent, still they
maintain it is impossible for them
to cope with District prices
charged for legal whiskies, wines
and gins.
Whisky that originally sold for
So in Maryland is now going tor
$1.3y a pint. District dealers are
selling this same brand for $1.I9
a pint, however.
The control board ruled that
they will not recognize covenants
in deeds to property forblddlng

The view of the board was tnal
if they have erred in this, the
