CUNMEN BECOME
LONE WOLVES


WASHINGTON, May Is. Ry-The
governments ccllege-trained crime
fighterS-young men who may work
with a machine gun one day and an
auditors report the next-now are
trying to make lone wolves" Of all
-big-time" criminals.
Director j. Edgar Hoover OF the
Bureau CT Investigation said Mon
day this aim Is behind the present
activity against bank bandit gangs
and jewel thieves.
The lone wolf cannot succeed in
anything" Hoover said. "A kidnaper
must have his contacts with law
yers; friends who can hide him
out; women who will accompany him
and want to share his ransom loot:
W doctors who will care for him
when he Is wounded or i'll"
This Is especially true OF bank
robbers and jewel thieves. he said.
Both must have fences" who can
dispose Of securities or jewels. or col
lect fat rewards for their return.
That Is the reason, he indicated.
that the government Is seeking to
bear down hard on persons who har-
Dor fugitives, or aid them.
1T Is our policy to lock up and
convict any person OF persons who
have given criminals any aid"
Typical OF this. Hoover said. was
the kidnapping OF Charles +. Urschel
at Oklahoma City in 1888. Although
the actual kidnapping was perform
ed by three or four persons, Hoover
said q persons already have been
convicted. including six sentenced to
life terms.

PRECIPITATION
BILL STUDIED


WASHINGTON. May 10. Up
Carrying O provision fer making
congressmen's work a little easier,
the sass .s65 legislative appropria-
ton bill for operations Of the gov
ernment's law-making establishment
in the fiscal year 1896 was taken up
Monday by the house.
The measure asks 81 ,B84.934 more
than the 1885 appropriation bill but
Is $780, 40 under budget estimates.
Most Of the net increase was ex-
planned accounted for In the restora-
ton Of the final 10 per cent salary
cut TO members Of congress.
At the suggestion OF Representa-
tive Arnold tD-n), the appropria-
tions committee added $4,000 to the
legislative reference service for the
preparation OF brief abstracts OF all
public bills introduced so that busy
members may familiarize themselves
with proposed legislation without
the necessity OF reading much legal
phraseology.
Because Of a complaint by Cap
tain william 8 Orthman that his
capitol police force wasn't very ef-
ficient because congressman named
under age. under weight, over age
and over weight men 10 the jobs,
the committee wrote into the bill a
provision that those named TO the
police force henceforth must meet
standards prescribed by the capitol
police board.

LITTLE HOPE
Is FELT FOR
SOLON SPEED
Congress Expected To
Drag Along Until
July; Fireworks May
Pop Soon

WASHINGTON, May l3.@R=
As leading democrats now assay the
situation, this congress will not be
ready to quit much before the time
fireworks begin popping for the
Fourth of July celebrations.
Home from a weekend outing
with President Roosevelt in the
Blue Ridge mountains-where they
apparently heard nothing TO lead
them to believe MIR. Roosevelt had
altered his desire to see a f~ive-point
legislative program cnacted--the
leaders were seeking to speed things.
Many Possibilities
There were many Controversies
fraught with potentialities for a
longer session. Though the house
went ahead more OF less Serenely
Monday with a legislative approp-
ration bill. the senate faced three
matters bearing the germs OF much
talk and delay.
Senator Long D-La) planned TO
deal at length with the post office
committees majority report turning
thumbs down on his attempt TO OBJ
tain an investigation Of Postmaster
General Farley on a long list OF
charges.
Then, too, the senate faced the
situation revolving around the at
tempt Of Senator Norris (R-Neb)
to get action on his bill TO strength
en- the Tennessee Valley Authortty's
powers. There was a threat Of an
other republican filibuster against
this.
II the issue should lead TO pro-
longed debate, democrats were be-
lieved ready to try TO set II aside
for another controversial one-the
future OF NRA. Senate democrats
are insisting on extending NRA
only until next April. while PreSi-
dent Roosevelt was informed at
mEunday's conference that the house
yprobably would vote for the two
year prolongation he desires.
NRA Foes Busy
This involves possible trouble.
Foes OF the Blue Eagle in the SEN
ate have threatened to let II die
on June is If the house leaders seek
to carry out the presidents ideas.
The American Liberty League was
on record for the shorter extension
Monday, saying the Clark resolu-
ton for that purpose would be the
mosi feasible method for rescuing
American business from a quick
sand OF bureaucracy and visionary
experiment"
NRA extension is item In the
five-point program the president
desires. The others are the social
security. omnibus banking, trans
portation and holding company bills.
The last named measure Is due TO
emerge any moment from the senate
interstate commerce committee TO
the floor. Though Il has been mod
flied much. 1t still contains the Bit
terly fought provision for abolition
OF holding companies by 1912.
