POLICE SLAYER
NOT MANHELD

Comparison of fingerprints and
photographs revealed today that
Willie Bullock, colored. 80, under
arrest in Philadelphia, is not the
man of the same name wanted
here in connection with the fatal
shooting of Policeman George w.
Shinault almost three years ago.
Local police fingerprint experts
compared prints forwarded from
Philadelphia authorities with
those Of the hunted man on file
at police headquarters and then
announced that the man under
arrest was not the one wanted
here.
Policeman Shinault was muir.
dered in August, 1882, when he
responded to a call at a house in
a colored neighborhood. A month
before he was killed the police
man fatally wounded William J.
Hushka, a war veteran, in one of
the riots that marked eviction
of the bonus army from Wash
ington.

Testimony in Police Court
At Rockville Is Concluded
At Early Hour Today

ROCKVILLE, Md. May 20.
How many persons had keys to
the door of the storage room
where several packages Of ballots
from last November's Montgomery
county election were stored?
Were Montgomery county's bal
lot boxes tempered with during
the time they were in storage
there?
These questions will confront
Chief Judge Hammond Urner and
Associate Judge Arthur D. Will
lard in Montgomery County Cir
cult Court when they meet to con-
slider the testimony taken in police
court last week and again yester-
day, concluding a, ! o'clock this
morning.
During the hearing last week
counsel for the defendants, Com
missioners Charles E. King and
Frank H. Karn, attempted to
prove that some Of the ballots
were stored in an accessible place
and were not in the proper Gus
tody since November election.
Last night. counsel for the con-
testing defeated Democratic can
didates for commissioners, John
B. Diamond and Raleigh s. Chinn,
sought to prove that these were
merely unused ballots and should
have no bearing on the question
Of a recount.
Election judges intimating bal
lot boxes had been molested were
Wilton Allen and A. H. Stone,
both of Chevy Chase: William
Holmead Of Silver Spring, and
Malcomb Waters of Kensington.
Mr.. Allen is a Republican and
the other three are Democrats.
Mr.. M. J. Dickinson, Republ-
lean clerk of election of the
Wheaton precinct, identified one
of the packages produced by
counsel for the Fusion candidates.
He pointed out the judges had
originally tied the package with
strings while now it is bound only
by a rubber band.
Lawrence Peter, Democratic
judge of the same polling place,
gave similar testimony about the
same package.
Fusion witnesses have told
of discovering the nearly two
score packages, supposedly con.
tanning a number of spoiled, re-
jected and unused ballots of the
last election, in the clerks cloak
room.
They claim a recount impos-
sible if these ballots, which under
election laws would have been
locked in the ballot boxes and
placed in the custody of the clerk
of the circuit court. are recog-
nized by the court as having been
in illegal custody.

PROBERS READY
TOREPORT ON
'K|CK-BACK'

Charges of "chiseling" by Wash

in the report the Senate Educa'

day.
Senator David I. Walsh CD,
of Massachusetts,, chairman of
the subcommittee which con-
Quoted the probe, revealed today
that he has completed drafting
the report and expects to have it
ready to submit to the Senate
this week.
Report Delayed.
The inquiry was made last
year, but the report has been de-
layed because Of the pressure Of
other business.
During the investigation, innu-
merable charges were made that
companies working on Federal
contracts had violated the Bacon
Davis prevailing wage act
through the "kick-back" racket.
Some of the companies, wit
nesses testified, would pay labor
ers on their jobs the prevailing
wage and then would compel
them to give a part Of it. back.
In this way the contractors would
get around" the prevailing-wage
law, and, it was suggested, some
of them may have used such tao
tics to reduce their income tax
payments. Committee investiga-
tors are understood to have
made some investigation of this
latter matter.
Discharge Threatened
The laborers told the subcom-
mittee that if they refused to re-
fund part of their wages they
would be fired, and they accepted
the plan although if their union
leaders had known what they
were doing they would have been
ouSted from the union.
There also were charges ut the
hearings that Government in.
SpectorS did not do their jobs
properly or they would have
known of the existence Of such
practices. It is believed commit
tee investigators inquired into
this matter also.

Encouraged by their swift sue.
cess in the Senate, sponsors Of the
measure to liberalize the District
divorce laws today began a cam
paign to rush the bill through the
House.
A bill similar to the one passed
by the Senate is pending in the
House under the sponsorship of
Representative Randolph Carpen-
ter CD, Of Kansas. A hearing on
this bill will be held Tuesday at
1890 a. m. before the Judiciary
Subcommittee of the House Dis.
trict Committee. Representative
Vincent Palmisano CD, of Mary.
land, is chairman of the subcom.
nlittee.
The bill as passed the Senate
differs from the bill before the
House in three respects. An amend
ment insisted upon by Senator
William H. King CD, of Utah,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, requires a one-year
bona fide residence in the District
before a suit can be instituted.
Two amendments tackled on to
the legislation by Senator Robert
D. Carey (R0, Of Wyoming, ex-
tend the grounds for divorce to
include five years separation and
confinement to an institution for
insanity for five years. A proviso
attached to the insanity section
requires that the husband con.

Representative Carpenter said
today that he was ready to push
his legislation and had received
assurance from Representative

uexC 4ueSQay:.
81 understand there have
been some amendments made to
the bill in the Senate and have
not yet read the language of
these amendments but / have no
objection to the principles be-
hind these amendments
George G. Gertman, secretary
of the District Bar Association,
who has led the fight for passage
of this legislation, declared that
the Senate amendments were
wholly acceptable to him and that
he would urge their approval by
the House committee and the
House. -, -,
Mr.. Gertman will be the princi
pal witness before the subcommit-
tee when the hearing is held.
SO far in the Senate committee
no opposition to the bill has been
voiced by District residents. The
bill has the unqualified support
Of the District Bar Association and
the Women's Bar Association.
King Opposes Divorce.
Senator King, however, who is
opposed to divorce, said he would
not interfere with the progress of
the bill but deplored the rapidly
growing number Of separations in
the country and scored the laxity
Of States in allowing so many
grounds upon which divorces can
now be granted.
Senator Royal s. Copeland CD,
New York, chairman Of the Sen
ate subcommittee that held the
first hearing on the BILL, explained
in the Senate yesterday that while
this bill would make divorces
easier to get in Washington it
would not set the city up as a
competitor to Reno.
The grounds for absolute divorce
under the Senate bill include, be-
sides misconduct, separation and
insanity, cruelty, desertion, drunk
enness and conviction Of a felony.

The roar of six-shooters and volleys from shotguns punctuate the thrilling action of the new Richard Dix drama, "The Ari- zonian" which plays at the Car roll theater Sunday and Monday.

ANCIENT INDIAN
 SITES SEARCHED
Excavations Expected to Establish History of
 Early Redmen

St. Thomas. Ont.-Prof W. J. Wintenberg, assistant archaeologist of Che National Museum, Ottawa, and Prof. Jury of the University of Western Ontario, London, are conducting excavations at the Southwold Earthworks about ten miles west of St. Thomas, in an endeavor to establish definite facts concerning the Indians who inhab- ited this section of Ontario during the early history of the country.
 The Southwold Earthworks are believed to be the remains of one of the few double-walled Indian forts discovered on the continent and as such they have attracted the attention of archaeologists for a number of years although the pres- ent party is the first to undertake exploration in Serious way. AL ready the discovery of a number of pipes. skinning knives, arrow heads and other flint instruments and weapons has been made and leads to hopes of even richer finds as the work progresses. As far as can be Judged, the age of the old fort is about 800 years, the age being gauged largely by the size of trees which have grown on top of the wall of ridge which evidently formed @ moat.

 Cause for Violation
 In his new picture, "Everything Happens At Once," W. c. Fields has a scene in which he's arrested for driving past stop signal. On the screen you'll see a cop jump on the running board and order Fields to pull over to the curb.
 Actually that's only half the story. As the camera ground, Fields drove by slowly. But as soon as he was out of camera range he stepped on the gas and shot some 50 feet down the street where his valet-Fields calls him his caddy-was waiting, a rye highball Ain hand. The scene had to be shot four times. And each time the comedian followed the same routine.
