BARNARD BACKS
PAROLE Law

Taking a rap at United States
Attorney Leslie C. Garrett for his
statement that "easy and early
parole is among the main causes
of crime in Washington, Capt. M
M. Barnard, superintendent of Dis
trict penal institutions, today
stated that sentences now served
in the Lorton Reformatory are
more severe, so far as paroles are
concerned, than those prior to
passage of the indeterminate sen
tence law.
In his address before the anti
crime meeting last Monday, Mr.
Garrett cited the three greatest
causes Of crime in this city as the
indeterminate sentence law, early
and easy parole and lax enforce
ment of probation laws. He said
"Under the latter law a man
can walk into bank and steal
S1,OOO,OOO and the highest pen
atty we can give him is two
years, at which time lie will be
eligible for parole under a mini
mum 1O-year sentence"
Capt. Barnard stated that be
fore the indeterminate measure
was put into effect, every prisoner
became eligible for parOle. but I'm
der the present law some inmates
sentences expire before they art
eligible for parole.
Captain Barnard pointed out
that a person sentenced to g
term of one year. to Is months
has 1856 days to serve with "gooc
time" allowance and would come
up for parole one day before hiS
term expired. Under the old sys
tenn such a prisoner could be
freed at the end of five months

Cabman Takes
Rep. Fish to
Foes Rally

NEWBURGH, N. Y, Nov. 3
G.N.SD.-Representative Ham
ilton Fish, jr., got his political
signals all mixed up last night,
when, looking FOR the Republi-
can rally here, he landed in the
midst of a Democratic get-to,
gether.
It was all the fault of a taxi
driver, really, says Representa-
tive Fish. Arriving by ferry
from Beacon, he asked the
driver where the meeting was,
and the driver asked another
hickman. and together the two
succeeded in getting the Repre-
sentative in on a little Demo
cratic criticism of Republican
doctrines.
P. She found the Republi-
cans-zestfully criticizing the

GIRL CLEARED
IN Staying

Another conference Of officials
working on the Wilson murder
case was called today as the latest
lead came to naught.
Baltimore, Washington and
Montgomery county police were
summoned to meet with States At.
torney Stedman Prescott to dis.
cuss developments.
Meanwhile police admitted that
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Morris, 20
year-old Cottage City CMdO girl,
taken into custody last night, was
unable to aid them in the murder
investigation.
Girl Out of Picture
The girl, held on a warrant
for deserving her 4-year-old
daughter, was booked for inves-
tigation by Hyattsville police
after they heard rumors that she
was a friend of a man sought
in connection with the Wilson
Staying.
Detectives probed that angle
of the case today, however, and
announced she was "out of the
picture" Another girl being
sought was also given a clean
bill by police.
Citizens To Act
Tonight the Federation of Citi-
zens Associations will take up
the matter of crime in the Dis
trict at its annual meeting.
The special committee on po-
lice and 4fire has drawn up a
number of resolutions which will
be presented for action.
The Federation has pledged it's
support to the move to clean up
the District.

case still hold to the theory that
he was shot to death by gunner
imported by the warning factions
in the local gambling field.

FALSE ALARMS
STIR POLICE

Police were expecting a lot Of
fires hither and yon. Instead
they were treated to false alarms
here, there and everywhere.
The occasion was Catholic Uni
vrsity'S annual Homecoming cele-
bration, which carried mob Of
joyous, cheering and singing
students all the way from Brook
land, which, to the uninitiated,
is far to the northeast, to Seven
tenth Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue Northwest, where weary
and hoarse, they gave up.
Expecting a repetition of last
years hilarity, when the students
built huge bonfires, caused a fire
in one of the university buildings
and turned the fire hose on
shivering firemen, the police were
ready for any eventuality.
But they didn't reckon with
the C. U. tirelessness. They had
no idea that the mob would
march so far and pull so many
fire boxes-one at practically
every corner they passed.
The boys also tied up lot of
traffic in downtown Washington,
their principal object appearing
to be a good lusty cheer at every
intersection where traffic was
heaviest.

GAIN IN HOUSE
APPEARS ONLY
PROSPECT
Republicans May Even Lose
Some Senate Strength;
Democrats CockY
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

One of the most unusual off.
year campaigns in American poll
tics drew to a close today. with
the Democrats confident and the
Republicans merely hopeful.
The Democrats are confident Of
retaining legislative control for
the next two years through the
Seventy-fourth Congress, which,
plus the administrative control
they already have. assures them
Of domination until 1896.
The Republicans are merely
hopeful that they can make suffi-
cient inroads into Democratic
majorities next Tuesday to rebuke
the majority and provide a fouu-
dation for the 1885 fight against
the New Deal.
G. o. P. Control Hopeless
Not even the most optimistic
Republican spokesman would pre-
dict today that the Republicans
have a chance at capturing con.
troll of the Seventy-fourth Con-
gress.
The present Democratic ma.
jorities in both houses are too
great to permit Of such optimism.
The Republicans are resigned to
continued Democratic control; at
the same time, they hope that the
political pendulum in this off.yeay
will swing far enough to enable
%hovoo %n hY1iI6 AVIAN, a~oSnck tho
presidential election of 1886.
The present Democratic ma
jority in the House approximates
200. The Republicans would con-
slider it a victory to cut into this
to the extent of so. The Demo
cratic majority in the Senate is
as. The Republicans will be
thankful if they can hold it to
that; indeed, they are reconciled
to a net loss of several seats.
Democrats Cocky
That is the situation as the cam
pa1gn is brought to a virtual close
tonight with the usual fanfare
of oratory that blankets the coun-
try, from Massachusetts to Cali
fornia. The Democrats are cocky;
the Republicans reconciled. They
hope for the best and fear the
worst.
In Wisconsin, Senator La Fol
lette, Republican-Progressive. is
waging a hard fight for reelec-
ton against regular Democratic
and Republican opposition. He
bolted Mr.. Hoover in 1882 and
supported Mr.. Roosevelt.
In New Mexico, Senator Bron.
son S. Cutting also bolted Mr.,
Hoover two years ago. He is
candidate for reelection, opposed
by a regular Democrat, Repre-
sentative Dennis Chavez. In
Minnesota, Senator Henrik Ship
stead, the sole Farmer-Laborite
in the Senate, and a consistent
supporter of the New Deal, is
being opposed by both Repub-
hcan and Democratic candidates.

menced:
This will cut down chiseling
to the nth degree"

lief budget it will be necessary to
revise the present food budgets of
needy families. He asserted that
milk is the cheapest and best food
which can be given to families
and that this food will have to
displace other less nutritious foods
on the family diet.
$1,000 Under Is
The District heads pointed out
that there are approximately e.,
900 children in the families get
ting relief, and that his concern is
for them. OF this total, there are
almost 1000 children under the
age of /; 5000 from the ages of
to S; 1880 from the ages Of six to
Is, and 1000 from IA to IS.
Commissioner Allen said that as
yet no action has been taken on
reducing the cost of milk for the
general consumers but that he is
now working on a plan to attain
this end.

Governor Richie and other
Democratic candidates on the
State ticket will receive the in,
dorsement of Montgomery and
Prince Georges counties at the
election next Tuesday. it appeared
today as the campaign neared a
close.

a stronger showing for the State
candidates than will Prin e

choice of its member of the House

Aside from the race between
Democratic Representative David
j. Lewis and his Republican oppc,
nent, Frederick Zihlman. it is ex
pected that the Democratic State
ticket in Mont, emery will win by
about 2 to /, the explanations be.
ing centered in three reasons as
follows:
/. The registration figures show
1902 Democrats to 8,445 Repub.
licans.
2. The county is additionally
Democratic.
3. Because Of the Republicans
in the county merging with the
progressive Democrats to form the
Fusion party, there has, been lit
tie campaigning on the part OF
countians for the Republican
State candidates.
G.. o. p. Forgotten
AS a matter of fact, the exist
ence of a Republican party has al
most been forgotten in the county
due to the furious battle that has
been carried on between the
Democrats and FuSioniSts fol-
county offices. The Fusionists
have refused to affiliate them
selves with the Republican State
candidates in the campaign, and
only on one or two occasions have
the Republicans themselves done
any active work in the county to
ward bringing their candidates be
fore the voters.
The Republican candidates
Harry w. Nice, for governor;
Joseph I. France. for U. S. Sena
tor; George Henderson, for attor
ney general; Frederick P. Adkins
for comptroller. and Walter E
Ouenstedt. for clerk of the court
of appeals-are expected to draw
their heaviest support from the up,
county region, and, possibly
from the Takoma Park area.
One reason for this is that
many blame the Richie machine
for the failure of bank in Fred
erick, and one in Poolesville. An
other reason is that the up
country section always is a likely
potential field for Republican
votes.
Likewise the Takoma Park area
is usually good for a substantial
Republican vote, but the Demo
Gratis are anticipating majority
in this area due to the increase IN
Democratic registration there re
Gently. Otherwise suburban Mont
gomery county is being counted on
as a fertile Democratic field fol
State candidates.
The Lewis-Zihlman race, how
ever, will be much closer, with the
present office-holder believed to
have a slight edge over his Repub'
lican opponent.
Observers of the situation in
Prince Georges county predict a
victory for Democratic State can
didates of about 1000 votes.
