CLUBHOUSE
SITES OFFERED
Raising of Funds for Prof
ect, However, Still Re-
mains Problem.

A dozen sites, ideally located for a
country club for policemen, have
been offered to- Police Supt Brown,
but he said today he could 90 no
further with his plan to establish a
place of recreation for members Of
the force until the necessary funds
are forthcoming.
Some of the sites are on the lower
Potomac and others are on Chesa-
peake Bay. The prices asked range
all the way from $4,000 to $4,000.
Raising Funds Problem.
The problem of raising club house
fund is still puzzling Maj. Brown.
The department has no appropriation
1t could use for such purpose, and
there is little likelihood, it is be-
lieved, that Congress would grant the
money if sought in the regular way.
Maj. Brown does not know yet
what country club of the type he
proposes would cost, but he is sat
isfied that if once established it
could be made .self-sustaining on a
small membership fee basis. There
are 1,400 members of the force who
would be eligible to join the club,
and if they paid only $40 year each,
it was pointed out, there would be a
fund of $4,000 for maintenance.
1t is Maj. Browns idea that the
club should be located on a water
front site within a radius of 40 or
SO miles of Washington. Enough
acreage would be required for at
least 9-hole golf course. Fishing
and duck hunting would be featured
however, although he thinks the club
should have all of the attractions
offered by regular country club.
No Expensive Building Planned.
The club house itself, Maj. Brown
said, would not have to be pretentious
and expensive. A building with the
Accommodations of comfortable hunt
ing lodge, he thinks, would meet the
requirements.
Maj. Brown does not propose to
abandon the club house idea because
funds are not Immediately available
and indicated he would give consider
able thought during the coming Winter
months to ways and means of financ-
ing the project.

WHISKY BOTTLES
RESALE IN COURT
Jobber Asks Morgenthau Be
Restrained From Hating
Dealers Operations.

Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau, who already has worries in the
form of silver purchases and Gov
ernment refinancing, today became
embroiled with the second hand bottle
dealers on the question Of reselling
used whisky bottles.
Pointing out that since repeal liquor
bottles have become "the very heart
of the new and used jobbing bottle
industry" Jacob and Reuben Tolchin-
sky, trading as the Buffalo Bottle Co.
401 New Jersey avenue, asked District
Supreme Court to restrain the Treas
ury Secretary from enforcing regula-
tions forbidding resale Of these bot
ties after their contents have been
consumed.
The petition states the plaintiffs
business consists principally Of the
reclamation and sale of used glass
bottles of all grades and styles. These
bottles are acquired from housewives,
peddlers, hotels and other sources
Liquor bottles, because of their stand
ard size and use, are particularly suit
able for resale purposes, the petition
states.
It also was pointed out that glass
making was the first industry estab-
lished on the American continent and
that the jobbing of new and used
bottles came into existence simulta-
neously with the manufacture of the
first bottle at jamestown, Va. The
business now affords employment to
thousands of people and represents the
investment of millions of dollars, ac-
cording to the petition.
The plaintiffs assert the regulations
forbidding the collection and resale of
whisky bottles are oppressive, arbi-
trary, unreasonable and discrimina-
tory"
Through Attorney J. B. Stein, they
ask that Secretary Morgenthau be re-
quired to show cause why he should
not be permanently .enjoined from
this interference with their business.

ing $2,500,000 to rearrange tracks,
the Capital Transit Co. should buy
200 new buses at $4,000 each tt
give the necessary service.

DEATH Of ROGERS
STUDIED IN PROBE
Official Trying to Decide if
Fight or Accident Took
Writer'S Life.

Homicide squad detectives and the
coroner's ofice sought to determine
today whether an accident or fight
was responsible for the fatal injury Of
Harry L. Rogers, 45-year-old news
paper correspondent, who died yester-
day at Gallinger Hospital from a
punctured lung and rib fractures.
An autopsy at the morgue yesterday
afternoon disclosed the immediate
cause of DEATH. Coroner A. Magruder
Macdonald is still trying to learn,
however, when and how Rogers was
injured. Rogers was admitted to the
hospital August %.
The coroner said he had informa-
ton that Rogers was present at an
alteration, believed to have taken
place in his apartment, eight days be-
fore he entered the hospital. It was
said, however, that Rogers took no
part in the affair.
Rogers was gassed while serving as
a captain in the World War and since
lost lung. The autopsy disclosed
that the old operation had left the
veteran vulnerable to body blow,
whether accidental or intended.
DR.. Macdonald said Rogers fatal
injury could have resulted from almost
any sort of fall.
Homicide squad detectives said they
had not completed their investigation.
DR.. Macdonald is awaiting a report
from them before deciding whether
an inquest will be necessary. Mean
while, death certificate was being
held up.
Rogers lived in the McReynolds
Apartments and his widow is now liv-
ing in New York City. Rogers, a for
mer owner Of the Foreign Affairs News
Service, had been q Washington cor
respondent for the last 20 years.

he had taken a wax impression Of the
teeth and his client then voluntarily
removed them and gave them to him
to repair.
He said the teeth were equipped
with type of clasp which would
make it impossible for any one other
than the 4wearer to remove them. A
letter was introduced in which DR..
Bradley wrote his client several days

time.

RELIEF RENT PLAN
HELD IMPRACTICAL
Miss Hill, Emergency Direc'
tor, Doubts if Guarantee
Would Be Possible.

Miss Mary Alice Hill, director OF
emergency relief, said todas she doubt
ed whether it would prove possible as
regular policy to guarantee rent pay
ments to landlords in exchange for
rent reductions to tenants on the relief
rolls.
1.-THE idea Of a reduction of Is per
cent in the rentals is very attractive .
she said, "but there are some practical
difficulties in the way which, think
would prevent us from adopting a
policy Of payments to landlords In
exchange for rent reductions"
The suggestion was made recently
by Herbert A. Simon, q real estate
broker.
Time Element Factor.
"In the first place." Miss Hill said
I'VE would have to decide how long
the guarantee would last. In the case
of any given family, they might be
on the relief rolls one month and
of the next, and we might find our
selves tied up with guarantee o1
their rent for some months ahead.
7 II think the scheme might be
worked out in the cases of some fami-
lies in which there are no employable
persons, and for whom we pay all the
rent. But 1t would have to be done
on an individual basis and not as q
general policy. We would have to be
sure, for instance, that the rent was
reasonable in the first place, other
wise a landlord might increase his
asking price in order to offer us the
Is per cent reduction.
Cooperate With Board.
"There is active cooperation be-
tween the. emergency relief and the
Washington Real Estate Board, and
the suggestion made by Mr.. Simon
did not come from the board.
It had a conference with MIN yes
terday and he said that he would
take the matter up with A. c.
Houghton, president of the board
and return with a definite PROPOSE
ton. At this time, all I can really
say is that we will have to wait until
the proposal comes to us In a little
more definite form"
Director of Public Welfare Elwooo
Street said the general question ol
rental guarantees in exchange fol
rent reductions would be discussed to-
morrow at the general meeting oi
superintendents and case workers.
