Waving his hands over the head
of the chicken while the bird
acts, Lacey says that you must be
a chicken "hoodoo voodoo" man to
perform in such fashion.
Tricks Dogs, Too
When asked what he does when
he finds a big dog tied next to
the chicken yard, Lacey replied:
81 get down on my hands and
knees and throw my coat over
my head and jump like a frog,
and there amt a dog alive that
1 can't make carry box and all
away"
To prove his statement as to
his ability to turn the heads of a
watch dog from the danger of a
chicken thief, Lacey asked to be
allowed to use the police blood
hounds at the Jail. He performed
his magic" and the dogs made
for their house like scared pigs.
Lacey is not serving a term for
chicken stealing this time, but for
house breaking, having been COM

Test Blood in Brush
Death

Experts of the Department of
Justice will be asked today to aid
in solving the murder of Truman
Brush, 76-yeaC-old Falls Church
recluse whose battered body was
found near his log cabin.
A pair of overallS which police
say belong to Hugh Hummer, SO,

brought to the department to be
studied by finger-print and blood
test experts. Hummer is in the
Fairfax jail charged with the
murder.
Found In Hummer Home
Police said the overalls were
taken from the home of Hummer,
who lived about 100 yards from
the recluse. 1t was Hummer, who
told police of the discovery Of the
dead man.
Sheriff Eppy Kirby, Of Fairfax
county, said he would bring the
overalls to Washington today. The
blood found on them will be ex-
amined to determine whether it IS
the same as found on the rock the
killer used in the murder. The
rock, which weighs about 20
pounds, also will be brought to
the department for examination,
Sheriff Kirby said.
Hummer Denied Charge
Henry Edwards, colored worker
formerly employed by Hummer, a
plumber, told police the overalls
found in the Hummer home were
identical with a pair worn by the
accused. Edwards is being held by
police as a material witness. He
told police Hummer confessed the
murder to him.
Hummer continues to deny the
charges, despite a grilling over

ing Crowds Jam Bus
and Rail Lines

With thousands Of Washing
tonians out of town for the week
end, the city awoke today to one
of the quietest Labor Days on
record.
No celebrations were scheduled,
and for the first time in years
there was no parade.
Likewise missing were the famil'
lar labor union picnics and the
traditional baseball game between
firemen and police.
BY auto and train, plane and
bus over the weekend a crowd
estimated at 100000 damned the
terminals of the city and the
traffic arteries leading to beach
and country.
Thousands Arriving
But as Westinghouse pressed
away from the city, thousands
from out Of town arrived with a
sightseeing holiday in the Capital
their goal.
Sodden skies developing into
what promised to be an all-day
drizzle dampened the ardor of
such celebrants as there were.
But while local labor observed a
day of rest, labor leaders through
out the nation were sounding
labor's message. Secretary OF
Labor Frances Perkins broadcast
an address over the Columbia
system at 10 a. m. and Assistant
Secretary of Labor Edward Nc"
Grady talked to laboring men in
Massachusetts.
Green Points Winter Needs
William Green. president of
the American Federation of Labor,
in a letter to Bayard Swope,
chairman of the Committee on
Mobilization for Human Needs,
urged "redoubled efforts" for al
leviating misery this winter.
He stated that labor had for
six years stood Loyalty by those
without jobs and in nee. and
added that the small wage Garner

Before $4,000 miners at Fair
mont, w. Va. john Lewis, preSi-
dent of the United Mine Workers,
predicted the reelection Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He lauded the
Guffey bill and said it would re-
store prosperity to the bituminous
coal industry in this country.
Liberty League Scored
The American Liberty League
was the object of a verbal barrage
from the union leader. He
charged the league with hiring
"high-salaried corporation law
yers" in its opposition to certain
pieces of legislation.
