Washington, June S.--The in- evitable has happened to Huey Longs entourage - dissension from within. His two main ad- visers, Robert Brothers and Earle J. Christenberry, are on the outs. Brothers was the brains of the Long organization, the man behind the scenes. Christenberry, a limelight- loving, routine secretary, became jealous of Brothers, eventually forced him out .. ;. Incidentally, Huey has a new unofficial Brain Truster. William K. Hutchin- son, of the International News Service, is ghost-writing the Kingfish's new book .. Out side the presidents special press conference, when he announced MIRA revision, reclined a sleeping figure. Despite the noise of three hundred newspapermen crowded in one room, he slept on. Finally someone hung 8 label on his coat: MIRA, Do Not Disturb" The MIRA press conference was the biggest in White House history.
 On the Business Front
 Wholesale prices in May came within a few points of the high water mark reached in April, when they zoomed up.s to S0.1 per cent of the 1926 level. The April figure was the highest since November, 1880. :. Another good sign was the fact that steel products continued firm at AZ per cent capacity last month .. California led all States in gains in retail trade. This is the second month it has , done so, having been far in the lead of, all others in April !. Owing to increased cost of leath- CT and cloth, which has caused shoe and mems clothing manu- lecturers to boost prices, retail CTS are reporting a marked re- sistance to sales in these lines x. The auto business on the other hand continues its boom pace. Production in May was close to 100000 cars. June out put is estimated at 375,000, which will bring the total for the first six months of the year to 2,375,000 new cars, the indus try's best six months period for

Selected Poem

TO DOGWOOD (Elizabeth Yates in the Christian Science Monitor) Set your candles flaming, Spring, white and pink and red. Let them burn day and night with soft glowing light, then blow them out with windy shout and wish that the summer be long; and the rains discreet, the nights dew -blenched with starlight drenched, and the slow wind singing a gentle song. Wish your bright candles. Spring, white and pink and red.

And we might also call to the attention of the wandering tourist the advantages that the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky now offers. The caves are now included in the National Park service. For the last two years CCC boys have been working Ill them daily making it possible for visitors to penetrate to the utmost corners. Dan gerous spots have been removed and in general passage through the subterranean corridors facilitated. It is possible to take an eight-mile hike through the caves now without encountering one hazard. And the ground above the caves has also been improved, all contributing to the scenic improvement of the park.

were Not The Only Ones

When congressional committee men1- Der recently was discussing the claim of this state for payment of several hundred thousand dollars from the federal gov- ernrnent he was quoted as remarking that no such claim as this would ever get by his committee. The claim is apparently just one. inasmuch as it involves certain fi- nancing by Connecticut during the War of 1872 It is unfortunate that so many of these old bills were never taken care of by the federal government in the last century. Every so often we read about some settlement being made or refused.
 In the last few weeks down at Wash ington, however, the Congress went to the trouble of passing a special bill Tn DenaiL of a preacher who claimed damages of $4.5O to his church by federal troops It costs about $97 to put the average Dill through Congress. This does not include the pay of the congressman who are liable to spend hours in a discussion of the same legislation. In great many cases, though, the claim itself IS greatly ex- ceeded by the cost of administering 1t m proper fashion.
 The Senate just recently passed a bill ordering payment of $171,OOO to the city of Baltimore for erecting Qualifications III the CIVll war. 1lc ouill ACpASoSAAesS" interest on the bonds issued to defray the costs. The bill was first introduced Tn 1921 and although passed by the Senate several times never got House approval. New York city has claim of $764, QUO for arming and supplying troops during the Civil War. Evidently the Connecticut claim falls in the same category. And the funny thing is they are all. legitimate claims against the government, but So was the so-called soldiers bonus and even the President termed this class legislation.
 Now that New Hampshire has saved the Old Man of the Mountains from future decay it is planned to make the profile on Cannon Mountain visible to all wno visit the region of Franconia Notch The state is about to build the first aerial passenger tramway in the United States. It will be similar to many now existent m Europe where passage from mountain peak to peak is facilitated in this fashion The tramway is to cost $20O,OOO and Will be financed with direct federal grant and loan. the latter to be repaid from tram way receipts. The sky-car will so Oe constructed that it's two towers and wires will be concealed by surrounding folage. There will be no trees destroyed and Na- ture will remain just as she IS, while thousands of tourists will get the added benefits of enjoying sights that hitherto they could not see. The tramWay Will run from Echo Lake to the summit ot Cannon Mountain, part of which is the profile or the Old Man.

EARHART TALK

Addressing 1000 last night at
Constitution Hall under the aus
pices of the National Geographic
Society, Amelia Earhart said she
believes the airplane will ulti-
mately displace trains for every
day travel, leaving the railroads
to handle freight or army move
ments.
Introduced by DR.. Gilbert Gros.
venor, president of the National
Geographic Society, Miss Earhart
declared the Federal Government
should establish a department. Of
transportation to eliminate cur
rent chaos among the various
types of carrying agencies.
Discussing her trip from Hawaii
to Oakland, Cal, the axiatrix
said:
"Not once during the entire
trip was I tired or lost. Although
1 had two hours fuel left when
1 landed and really wasn't tired
at all, 1 must admit 1 was glad
to catch sight of land"
Today she will be guest at a
luncheon given by the Geographic
Society, at which Mrs. Roosevelt
will be present.

GIRL GR|EVES
FOR HEROIC PET

Thirteen-year-old Laura grieves
over the death of Rex" her dog,
because only a few months ago he
saved her from death in a quag-
mire.
This fact was revealed today
when Laura's mother, Mrs. M. H.
Jarvis, of the first block INLAND
Terrace, N. E., produced the wit
ness whom police advised her to
obtain before they would serve a
warrant on Charles Knight, Capt.
tol Heights farmer, charged with
shooting Rex"
Mrs. Jarvis revealed that last
summer when Laura and her IS
year-old sister, Nellie, went black
berrying in the woods with REX"
the younger girl and the dog
strayed away.
Searchers discovered the girl
sinking into a quagmire with
REX" pulling and struggling to
keep her head above the surface.
The witness whom Mrs. Jarvis
produced is Fred Davis, of Capitol
Heights. Prince Georges police
said they would serve the warrant
on Mr.. Knight today and the case
will come up in Hyattsville

COURT To D. K.
PRISONERS
RELEASE
Procedure to Be frightened Up
Following Revelations
In Recent Probe

Drastic changes in the method
Of handling prisoners and strict
supervision over all court docu-
ments has been instituted in Po-
lice Court procedure during the
past two days.
From now on all papers per-
tanning to sentences will be signed
by the presiding judge and no
prisoner will be released from
the dock without an authorize
ton by the court.
Judge Signs Initials
Heretofore, prisoners confined in
the cell block were released by
the marshal in charge at the re-
quest of the bailif who presented
a release slip. Now the bailiff
must sign his name to every re-
lease slip and take the prisoners
list to the judge, who signs his
initials next to the name of the
prisoner being released.
BY this method authorities hope
to eliminate any chance of pris,
oners who have been fined, with
the alternative of serving a Jail
sentence, from taking French
leave, with, perhaps, the assistance
of court employees.
To Be frightened Up"
It is frankly admitted by Police
Court officials that from now on
things will be frightened up" and
activities of clerks, marshals and
bailiffs closely supervised.
The four judges, who have here.
tofore been swamped with cases,
will find their burdens consider
ably increased by the new rules
which are expected to slow up
the routine. However, it is gener-
ally known they are all consider.
ably distressed over recent revela.
tionS and only too glad to CO.
operate with the Department of
Justice in preventing repetition
of the present situation.

z AUTO THIEVES
ADMIT GUILT

Two men, reputed members Of
an automobile theft ring. pleaded
guilty when arraigned yesterday by
fore United States Commissioner
Needham C. Turnage and were
held in $4,000 bail each for
grand jury action. They are Ed
die Smith and Joe Curtice.
The men were apprehended in
Florida by Department of JUS
tice agents. A week ago, Earnie
R. Rogers, alleged also to be a
member of the gang, pleaded
guilty after his arrest here.
Detective Sergt. Jake Wolfe, of
the local automobile squad, was
credited with obtaining informa,
ton which broke up the ring. Po-
lice said their investigation dis
closed that Washington was a
base of operations for the gang
and Statesville, N. c., was head
quarters for disposing of cars
stolen here and in nearby cities.
Detective Wolfe, who is in
Statesville, has reported that ~
cars, identified as stolen, have
been recovered.

Ken MURRAY
Says:

At last! Babe Ruth has been
promoted to assistant manager
for the Boston Braves, and will
once more play in the town
where he started And every
body thought he was slipping
E. when he was only sliding
home"
1t was only natural that he
should wind up in the ritzy
Back Bay district. After all,
he certainly batted around with
the 400 long enough.
With the Babe on the Braves
and Joe CrOnin on the Rec
SOx, Boston hasn't been so
aroused since Paul Revere was
ringing dOOr-bellS.
so REMEMBER:
In the past, Boston always
boosted about the landing OF
the Pilgrims. Now it's the
landing of the Pennant.

what is needed is more
school buildings and a 9 a. m.
to 3 p. m. hour for the teaching
force"
ALDERMAN BOARD
The Senator said he sought ap-
pointment on the District Commit.
tee due to interest in local affairs,
and to help the people of Wash
ington who have no say in their
governmental affairs.
"The Senate committee is your
board of aldermen to whom your
local problems should be pre-.
scented, if we are to act in an
intelligent manner in your be-
half"
Following the Senator's address,
the following resolution by PreSi-
dent David Babp was adopted:
Whereas, we learn through
the columns of The Washington
Times of February II of a ma
tiOnal survey made by the Of
flee of Education, Department
of the Interior, to determine
the needs of school buildings
throughout the country; and
whereas, PWA reveals that
it has listed construction of 20
new school buildings for the Dis
trict of Columbia, at an esti-
mated cost of $2,985, 900, now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Burroughs
Citizens Association, in regular
meeting assembled, this first
day of March, 1885, that we do
heartily indOrse this project and
express our thanks to the pub
Usher of The Washington Times
for the interest manifest in sup
port Of our public school Sys-
tenn, both by news items and
editorials (the resolution being
amended to indorse the loan
from PWA to construct such
schools as may be needed in the
District Of COlumbia)."
