Hotel Tips Smaller,
Employees Reveal
FRED q. ORSINGER
J, F, HARRINGTON

hort-jacketed young man said,
I'VE used to get quarters and half
dollars where now we get dime
and 20-cent tips. But we can't
complain at that. From 1929
until couple of years ago, it was
worse"
Tipping Is Low
At the Washington Hotel again
there was a diversity Of opinion.
The dining room complained that
tipping is low, very low. Some
people come in and don't leave
anything at all for the waiter.
Some people, on the other
hand, leave a nice sized tip, but
for the most part, as one man
said, "The tipping urge is going
down"
j. w. Scrivener, superintendent
of service at the Washington, is
more optimistic, though. He
thinks the tips are going up.
Superintendent Scrivener, in his
% years in hotel work, has found
one interesting thing, he said:
"Rich people are tighter with
their money than most others"

CANCER CHIEF
DEATHCAUSE
IN DISTRICT
Dreaded Tuberculosis
Is in Third Place on
Mortality List

More WaShingtonians die each
year from cancer than from any
other single disease, a study Of
death rate charts disclosed to-
day. Further upsetting the pop
ular belief that tuberculosis held
this unenviable supremacy, Is
the fact that pneumonia placed
second on the list, its death toll
only slightly higher than that
taken by the white plague.
Cancer claimed 786 victims last
year, representing an increase Of
33 deaths over 1888.
While deaths from the innu-
merable cardiac maladies always
have led the mortality parade,
there are so many forms Of these
ailments that no fair comparison
can be made between them and
the major Affections which beset
man.
Death Rate Increases
Figures submitted by five oth,:'
cities which compare favorably IN
population and geographical loca-
tion with the District, revealed
that while medical science has
made pronounced headway in the
eradication of tuberculosis, dia:
beteS, nephritis, cancer and
pneumonia show a steadily in
creasing death rate.
Greatest gain made by any one
disease was shown by diabetes
which claimed 144 more deaths in
these cities last year than it did
the year before, showing itself no
respecter of race or climatic condi-
tions. ...-.. ,.-.. 4 ......
Although this disease does not
pretend to compete with the So
called major causes Of death, the
jump in its rate was so pro-
nounced as to cause a lifting of
medical eyebrows.
Reason Suggested
Pointing out that intensive
analysis Of the situation would
doubtless disclose some significant
reason for the rise in diabetic
deaths, DR.. George Rutland. Dis
trict health officer, today ad-
vanced the lowered standard Of
living and the widespread worry
over uncertain economic condi-
tions as a contributing factor
It may, he said, even resolve It,
self into the only explanation.
San Antonio, Tex, the city
whose tuberculosis death rate led
all others last year, proved the
least susceptible to the diabetic
gain. The disease which made
such significant gains in Balti-
more, Indianapolis, Milwaukee,
New Orleans and the District,
claimed only five more deaths in
the Texas city last year than in
1888.

Catfish weighing more than
As or so pounds are rare in
this country and it was with
considerable pleasure that Fred
G.. Orsinger, director of the
aquarium, received his latest ad-
dition to the fish family.
A 40-pound sturgeon was also
shipped here today. Sturgeon
weighing that much are rare in
the East at the present time,
although not so long ago they
were being caught in the Po-

SET-UP TO BE
REVISED
Congressional Probe
Into Building Here
Held Probable

Although Building Inspector
John w. Oehmann stood vindi-
Gated today of nine charges Of
Irregularities in office, his inme-
diate superior, Director of Inspec-
ton Hugh P. Dram, appeared de-
cidedly ION the spot" as a reor-
ganization of the building inspec-
tors office and a congressional
inquiry into the municipal engi-
neering department loomed as an
aftermath of the trial.
Director Dram, who in 1882 re-
signed a captaincy in the Army
to accept his present position, was
put on the "spot" by William
I. Green, president of the local
union of the International Union
of Operating Engineers.
Refuses to Answer
Shortly before the trial, which
lasted week, drew to close,
Mr.. Green was recalled to the
witness chair and asked to di-
vulge his associates in making and
investigating the charges which
resulted in the trial, Mr.. Green
declined to answer saying:
IT do not feel that I could do
so at this time. We submitted 10
complaints against two men and
only one Of them is on trial. Un-
til the investigation is made COM
plete, that is until the full
charges are submitted with others
which we verbally presented to
Commissioner Hazen and Com
missioner Sultan, I must decline
to answer"
When asked who the other man
was involved in the original
charges, Mr.. Green responded:
Hugh P. Dram"
.,. Quick Verdict
Commissioner George E. Allen
and H. WinShip Wheatley, presi-
dent of the District Bar Associa-
ton, who conducted the trial, ar
rived at their verdict acquitting
Colonel Oehmann in IS minutes.
They found one charge, involving
a fee Of $7.84, grossly magnified
and too little to be dignified" for
consideration. On the 9th r
charges, Mr.. Wheatley announced,
not q "scintilla Of evidence had
been found" to support them.
Regarding the charge against
Colonel Oellmann'S Judgment in
ordering the Logan Hotel vacated
as unsafe several years ago. Mr..
Wheatley declared the judges
found instead Of being con-
demned, he should have been
commended for his action"
After Mr.. Green had declined
to divulge his evidence and had
dragged the name Of Captain
Dram into the inquiry, Assistant
Corporation Counsel Elwood Seal
declared:
'I accept full responsibility for
the nine charges in this hearing.
The corporation counsel's office
was given all these charges and
we selected these nine. We found
no evidence to support the
charges against Captain Dram"
w. Gwynn Gardiner, chief de-
tense counsel, and his associate.
James K. Earnest, abandoned
their plan to attempt proof that
Colonel Oehmann was the victim
of a clique of former Army Off
GERS, including Captain Dram and
Director of Highways H. c. White.
hurst, who were trying to "oust
Colonel Oehmann."
Colonel Oehmann has ntimated
that a shake-up in his office will
be another aftermath of the trial.
It is believed that one Of those
who will be affected is Chief Field
Inspector Jesse j. Kimball, who
was revealed to hold interests IN
two parking lots.

President Roosevelt certainly
looked amused as the phOtOgra-
pliers snapped him with the
HYDE Park Volunteer Fire De-
partment, all dressed up in that
red helmet. To make it COM
plete, why not have Graham
McNamee for Vice President?
After the number of rapS his
New Deal plan has been getting
lately, it wouldn't be surprising
to hear him say, "The pro-
grams gonna be different Ora

But, kidding aside, that hel-
