James G. Yaden, president Of the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
notified the Commissioners today, Il
do not run a detective bureau" Ind y
have no intention whatever of med
ding in the conduct of the affairs OF
the District government"
Yaden, who caused stir last week
with a remark about petty graft In
the District government, was asked
by the Commissioners to give them his
facts and to state the source of his
information. Yaden replied:
LET me assure you ! have no per-
sonal knowledge of any graft in the
District government"
He said his recollection OF his state
ment before the Burroughs Citizens
Association was as follows:
There Is not so very much waste
in the government of the District and
it is comparatively free Of graft. There
may be some petty graft in the Dis
trict; two District employees now stand
indicted, charged with having &C
cepted graft, and there does not seem
to be much disposition to bring them
to trial"
Yaden added:
II wish to say to you, however, In q
friendly spirit, that am Of the opin-
ion Il have no documentary proof OF
this, however,, that complaints filed
with officials Of the District govern
ment have not been investigated as
promptly and as vigorously as they
might have BEEN"

Fingerprinting of Job Insurance
Eigibles Brings Controversy

Members of the District Unemploy-
ment Compensation Board today
clashed over suggestion that all
employees in Washington be finger
printed to insure identification of per-
sons eligible for jobless insurance
benefits.
Three of the five members declared
they had no objection to fingerprint-
ing. one termed the plan ."absurd"
and one said he didn't think the board
would want to go to all the work and
expense incident to fingerprint record
ing.
The suggestion had been mentioned
only informally as the board started
to plan its policies for administration
of jobless insurance but more serious
attention was given the idea after an
unidentified Federal official sup
ported it.
Commissioner George E. Allen in
dicated he was prepared to wage a
fight against the plan If 1t should be
pushed for adoption here.
Its absurd" he declared. He also
raised a question as to the need of
maintaining a complete card index

John Locher. president of the Gen.

tive on the new board, said:

have no objection to flngerprinting.
I am willing to let any one have my

f1ngerprints of some who are in labor
unions"
Daniel J. Callahan, who is employer
representative, said: Il don't see any
objection to the fingerprinting"
Engineer Commissioner Dan I. Sui
tan said: Il have had my fingerprints
taken several times. see no harm in
that but I would not want to cram
something down peoples throats that
they don't want. I don't think the
thing is that vital"
Melvin c. Hazen, president Of the
Board of Commissioners. said: II don't
think the board has any idea of going

DESIGN APPROVED
FOR HEALTH FARM
Treasury Group Gives 0. K.
to Plan for Institute
Structure.

Design for the first scientific ami
NAL house and laboratory. to be erect
ed on the 45-acre farm near Bethesda,
Md, where the National Institute Of
Health some day may establish a great
health center, was approved today by
the Treasury Department Advisory
Committee on Architectural Design.
Now that the general plan for the
new and unusual structure. to house
guinea pigs, rabbits and other crea-
lures for experiment, has been ap-
proved. the Public Works Branch,
Procurement Division of the Treasury,
will push forward working drawings
so as to put the job on the market as
soon as possible. No definite date for
advertising for bids can be fixed at
this time, officials said.
100000 is Provided.
The 45-acre place, which was do
mated by Luke Wilson, retired business
man, formerly of Evanston, Ill, from
a part of his beautiful estate, Tree
Tops, on the Rockville pike north of
Bethesda, is to be developed first into
an experimental station for the Ma
tional Institute of Health. under an
original appropriation of 100000,
which has been available for some
time. 1t is this money which is being
used on the first animal house.
Possibility that the place may
eventually be used as a great medical
center for the National Institute of
Health has arisen, and those behind
the movement are hoping for authori-
zation and appropriations. to devel-
op it.
Institute May be Moved.
Should such plan succeed, 1t might
lead to transfer of all the National
Institute of Health to its new site in
the country, leaving its four admira J
equipped scientific buildings for ex-
pansion of the Naval Hospital ad-
jacent.
This would tie in with the prospect
which has been under discussion for
some time Of having a new Navy De-
partment Building constructed some
day in that general vicinity west OF
the present National Institute OF
Health and overlooking the Potomac
River and the Lincoln Memorial, one
of the most beautiful sites in the city
opposite Theodore Roosevelt Island
now being developed as park.

NEW LOBBY OPENS
FIGHT To MAKE
CAPITAL DRY CITY
Drunkenness Held Greater
in Last Year Than Through
out Prohibition.
MOVEMENT HEADED
BY DR.. EVERETT ELLISON
w. c. T. U. and Many Other Or
ganizations Expected to Par
ticipate in Campaign.

A new prohibition lobby determined
to drive liquor from Washington and
make this a model city, for the
Nation has begun work here under
direction of DR.. Everett M. Ellison,
long a leader of local dry forces.
The new organization, known as
the United Dry Forces of the Dis
trict of Columbia, has DR.. Ellison as
its president and Mrs. N. M. Pol
lock as secretary treasurer. Its head
quarters are at DR.. Ellison's ofnces,
1920 M street.
Dry organizations already partici-
pating or expected to participate in
clude the w. C. T. u, the Anti
Saloon League, the Y. M. C. A., the
Y. w. c. A, the Society of Friends,
the Gospel Mission, the Central Union
Mission, the Sunday School Associa-
ton and the Allied Youth and Bible
Society.
No Nati,ual Scope.
Officials denied the organization
has any national lobbying ambitions,
explaining its purpose is to dry up
Washington and make 1t a model
city.
The United Dry Forces yesterday
sponsored a radio broadcast attack
ing liquor for its part in unsafe drlv-
ing. BY December it is expected there
will have been meetings, circulars,
radio talks and newspaper articles
here indorsing the dry bill introduced
at the last session Of Congress by
Representative U. S. Guyer of Kansas,
after lawyers retained by United Dry
Forces had drafted it. 1t prohibits
the manufacture, transportation and
possession here of all alcoholic liquors,
excepting wine for religious purposes
and ethyl alcohol for the making OF
medicines and disinfectants.
1t goes beyond the Sheppard act in
forbidding even the passage of liquor
through the District. DR.. Ellison, who
estimated there were only about 100
speakeasies here during prohibition
days, pointed out the bill would drive
out some 1000 liquor dspensaries.
The bill also would deny doctors the
right to prescribe liquor for medicinal
purposes.
More Intoxication Noted.
Anybody who has looked has seen
in the City of Washington during the
last IL months more intoxicated per-
sons than he saw during the entire
period of prohibition" DR.. Ellison de-
clared.
washington should be a model for
the Nation. Under the Sheppard act
police officials used to complain that
their officers would go out and get
perfectly good cases and the courts
would find some technical reason to
drop them.
1.-THE Guyer bill is the Sheppard act,
revised, improved and modernized. 1t
is the Sheppard act with teeth in it. u
He said he did not feel optimistic"
that the Guyer bill would be passed
at the next session of Congress.
