UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Dec.
16.-Concerned over increasing
violations in the sale of liquor
and alcoholic beverages in the
county, Prince Georges police Off
cials are determined to push their
fight against offenders to the
limit.
States Attorney Alan Bowie has
indicated that fines will be in
creased if the violations continue.
He says that the law provides for
a maximum fine of $4,000 and
two years in the House of Cor
rection for violatorS.
Police Court Judge George B.
Merrick expressed the opinion
that continued violations of the
liquor laws may result in crystal
liZing public sentiment in favor
of a county "dry" law.
Those who take advantage Of
the repeal of prohibition by violat-
ing the restrictions imposed by
the liquor laws, are killing the
goose that laid the golden egg,"
he said.

Police Rescue
Movie Fan.
Aged 10

When Tommy Lowe, aged 10,
goes to a Wild West movie he
believes in getting his moneys
worth.
Yesterday afternoon Tommy's
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Bax-
ter Lowe, of Del Ray. Va, took
the youngster to a Ninth Street
movie house and left him there to
enjoy the cowboys and Indians
while they attended another
movie.
When they came out Tommy
was not at the prearrainged meet
ing place.
The boy, unbeknown to his
parents, was watching those Ind
ians bite the dust over and over
again. In fact he stayed until the
theater closed at II o'clock. When
the last cowboy had galloped off
the screen he emerged to find his
parents car gone.
Detective Sergt. John Wise and
Paul Berger, from Headquarters.
were cruising along Ninth Street
when they spied Tommy wander
ing aimlessly around. Explana-
tions followed and Tommy enter
tanned detectives with Wild West
tales until his parents arrived.

The Yale scientists claim their

Pointing to the experience of
his native Italy, DR.. Salvemini
asserted that the MuSsolini dicta-

middle classes and was foStered
by business leaders who lent the

He thought a reenactment of this

possible.
Mussolini's power. however, was

part. is in the aScendency. In
support of his assertions, DR..
Salvemini asserted that a Hitler
appeal for additional population

million babies in a year. Not
withstanding similar appeals by
Mussolini, he said, there has been
a decline of 100000 in the italian

DR.. Salvemini warned of the

SAGER TELLS
OF TRAFFIC
CHECK
Thirty Charts Showing
Results Of Probe
Introduced

With its hearing room filled to
capacity by irate "straphangerS,"
the Public Utilities Commission to-
day opened an inquiry into COM
plants against street car and bus
service of the Capital Transit Com
pany.
One table in the room was bur
dened down with files containing
333 letters complaining against
the service. James L. Martin, Sec
retary of the commission, eX-
planned that many of the letters
embodied two or more complaints.
Fred A. Sager, chief engineer OF
the commission, the first witness,
testified concerning traffic check
made during December at points
on all main lines of the company's
cars and buses. Thirty charts
were introduced to show the re-
suits of the check.
The first five charts dealt with
a check made December 4 at Nine
teenth Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue Northwest between 1850
and 3 p. m. The witness stated
43 cars passed during the period
and a total of 81 passengers were
standing. He said:
"AlI of the standeeS were due to
broken headways, which comes
from cars failing to maintain
schedule and failing to keep in
line"
Another Chart Presented
Another chart dealt with a
check made at New Jersey and
Florida Avenues Northwest Decem-
Der 2 from LAS to 3 p. m. Ac-
cording to the chart, II cars were
scheduled to pass the checking
point during the time period, but
one car did not run and the other
10 ran behind schedule.
Still another check was made
at Fifth and F Streets Northwest
on December IL during the rush
from 7:30 to 9 a. m. Engineer
Sager pointed out that seven cars
scheduled to run in accordance
with the schedule, did not run
and were replaced by other cars.
The substitute cars, he said, were
anywhere from 20 to 80 minutes
late.
Interrupted occasionally in the
course of his testimony by ques-
tions of John H. Hanna, president
of the car company, Engineer
Sager declared that a number OF
complaints, mainly concerning
overlooking of cars, already had
been taken up with the company
and the condition altered.
Other Complaints Later
In response to queries of Will
liam NICK. Clayton, representing
the Federation of Citizens ASso-
Citations, at the outset Of the
hearing, Chairman Riley E. Elgen
of the P. U. C. stated that no
complaints regarding a company
proposal for additional one-man
cars will be heard at the current
sessions. He said the one-man
car problem would be heard ex'
clusively at a later date.
1t was estimated that the pres.
ent inquiry will last two or three
days and that more than 100
witnesses, mainly from the ranks
of local citizens associations, will
testify.
Chairman Elgen, prior to open
ing the hearing, stated he ex-
pected to have street car and bus
service improved before the first
of next month.

CONSTITUTION
SUBJECT OF
PAGEANT
Bar Drama to Depict
Convention Session
in Philadelphia

Members Of the judiciary and
other high officials in the District
will be present Wednesday night
in Constitution Hall when the
District of Columbia Bar Associa'
ton presents a drama in pageant
form entitled The Making of the
Constitution"
The pageant consists of four cpl
sodes depicting four different ses-
sions of the Constitutional con,
Vention.
AS the performance opens, the
session of the convention held
May Is, 1887, when a quorum Of
delegates from the States finally
was secured and the convention
was able to proceed to business is
presented.
Session Of May %
A second episode deals with the
session of May %, showing the
presentation of the Virginia and
South Carolina plans and the in
slant clash of interests which they
aroused.
Next is shown a session at the
beginning of August, the same
year, when the debates had pro-
ceeded for weeks and the patience
of majority of the delegates had
been exhausted. In this episode
the convention is on the verge of
breaking up because of the ap-
parent impossibility of reconciling
the opposing views.
The final scene deals with the
consideration of the amendments
and the signing Of the Constitu.
ton.
All participants will appear in
century costumes, and
the stage of Constitution Hall will
be converted into a replica of In
dependence Hall in Philadelphia.
Given in Los Angeles
A similar presentation was Of
fered by the Los Angeles Bar
last summer at the
time of the convention of the
Bar Association. AS a
result of the enthusiasm for the
pageant exhibited by H. Winship
Wheatley, president of the local
association, it was decided to have
the local association present it.
The script to be used is based
on that prepared originally by
Robert K. Ryland. of the Kansas
City, Mo-, bar. and later revised
and elaborated upon by former
Representative James M. Beck of
Pennsylvania at the time the
pageant was presented by the
Philadelphia Bar Association.
Members of the local commit
tee in charge of the presentation
also have contributed additions
and revisions to the original draft,
with the result that the Washing
ton production probably will be
somewhat more dramatic in gen.
eral effect than the earlier ones.
Prologue by Stafford
Former Justice Wendell Phillips
of the District of Colum-
bia Supreme Court, has written,
for the occasion. a pro
logue in sonnet form, which will
be spoken by Mr.. Wheatley at the
opening of the pageant.
