TRUE 10. TRAINING
Fire horses have been known
to cause considerable excite
ment long after they have been
retired, especially when they
were passing a fire house just at
the moment an alarm was ring
ing. The tale Is. told of one old
fire horse In Connecticut city
that fell into the hands Of
huckster and bolted the wagon
one afternoon as he heard the
bell a. headquarters. The buck
ster came near being killed as
the horse made dash to follow
the apparatus around a corner.
The fire fighter always was and
always will be a hero in the
eyes of the public. The fire
horse shared his human COM
panion's glory. What a thrill It
was for little boys and girls to
be taken down to the engine
house and be lifted in the arms
OF the firemen and held up to
pat the fire horses on the nose
or to watch them in their stalls.
For there was something then
in the stall back there
That was human--or pretty
near,
Big eyes and shiny coat of hair
And a beast that man held
dear
As a life-long friend--but the
auto truck
Has ousted 'em slick clean
For oil and grease and a lot of
muck
And thankful Of gasoline.

SECRET DEAL"
IN SHOREHAN
CASE Barred
BondhoIders Kept Ignorant
of $500, 1000 Agreement,
ProberS Told

Revelation that the majority
bond holders committee for the
Shoreham Hotel properties failed
to disclose to the bond holders an
agreement into which they had
entered whereby they could have
taken over the property for about
$500, 900 was adduced in testimony
today before the special House
committee investigating bon d
holders committees.
This was brought out by Repre-
sentative Everett Dirkson (R0 OF
Illinois, through inquiries of Ed
ward F. Colladay, who served on
the bond holders committee, and
Harry M. Bralove, manager Of the
hotel.
Reorganization Offered
The Illinois Representative put
into the record an Interpretation
by Mr.. Bralove fthe agreement
between Mr.. Bralove and the bond
holders committee which showed
that a new reorganization plan
could have been effected by the
committee upon payment to Mr..
Bralove Of SCI ,000-one-half OF a
mechanics lien he held against
the property-plus payment of all
other liens, which amounted to
some 100000.
Earlier in the session today, A.
G. ingalls,, committee investigator,
told the committee that in the
Wardman Park case, the Halsey-
Stewart Company, which had
sought to keep their fingers" on
the Wardman property until the
company eventually owned Ward
man, Slipped somewhere down
the line"
Control Lost
He said the evidence show that
the Halsey-Stewart organization
attempted to do the same thing
in other cases throughout the
country, but that in this case the
indictment of Leonard Stanley. a
Halsey-Stewart agent, apparently
brought about the defeat Of the
purpose in the Wardman case.
He told the committee that
before this slip" three receivers
were appointed, two of whom
were attorneys, and that these
two attorneys hired another at
torney, Hugh O'Bear, at $4,000
a year to handle the legal work
in the receivership.
He expressed the belief that
Mr.. O'Bear had been instru-
mental in getting the two re-
ceivers-Julius Feyser and Joseph
P. neutrality-suspicious.. He said
it is questionable as to what
service was rendered" by Mr..
OBear.

When the will of King Alex

AS the virtual head of the gov.

his wife are of course close to the

visited Washington and was

She is described by them as a
woman of great 4arm, Of most

of Bill to End Combines;
Says Fraud Is Common
international News Service

In a final plea for enactment
of the administration bill abol-
ishing holding companies by
1910, Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Walter M. w. Splawn
warned the House Interstate
Commerce Committee that their
continuance would permit I'M
scrupulous practices and fraud
ulent use of investors money.
Mr.. Splawn, who acted as Com
mittee counsel in its inveStiga-
tions of holding company struc-
lures and who opened the Ad-
ministration testimony on the
pending bill, methodically at
tempted to refute arguments pres
ented by representatives of the
nations utility groups. He said:
Holding company officials
contend there are economies in
large-Scale operations. This is
true, but according to a survey
of the power commission the
holding companies are retaining
all the advantages of economy.
They are not passing them on
to the consumers"
electric rates for the country were
lower at present, Mr.. Splawn at,
tributed this to technical ad
vances in the industry.
Rates of independent and mu
nicipal power companies were
lower than those charged by hold
ing company subsidiaries, Mr.
Splawn continued. He submitted
figures showing that the average
bill for Is kilowatt hours in Is
cities served by holding company
affiliates was 38 cents more than
in IS cities served by independent
companies.
Mr.. Splawn characterized the
service companies set-up under the
holding company system as the
most clever device for cheating
investors of the holding company

for another family of the same
size that had been accustomed
to better circumstances"
61,025 Person Listed
There were 22,921 families, or
61,O25 persons, on relief rolls in
the District during March, Miss
Hill said. It has been estimated
officially that $4,000 of these are
employable and that of the latter
1000 are fitted for little else be-
sides domestic work, or are at
least willing to accept homework
even though they may be able to
handle other jobs.
Relief is given to them in vary
ing amount, depending on circum-
stances, but Miss Hill said that a
family of four could expect on an
average of $25 a month for rent,
$50 for food, IS for light and gas,
and clothing issued as it is
needed.
Consequently when either man
or wife is offered a job at COM
mon wages, it is not surprising,
Miss Hill said, that it is refused,
because virtually the entire
amount earned in wages is de-
Quoted from the amount handed
out of the public Golfers.
So it is that, despite depression,
the cost of a competent kitchen
girl has risen from So or 81 a
week, plus room and board. to
the point where some domeSticS
have been known to demand SIS
for ordinary houseWork. Miss Hill
remarked:
AVERAGE SIS A WEEK
"Why shouldn't domestic ser.
wants choose relief in preference
to work? Most housewives will
hire a servant for only one or two
nights a week. When employment
is permanent, the wages average
S. week. OF course, board and
room is included, but that is of
little aid to the worker who has
a family"
Miss Hill made it clear she was
not defending the relief recipi-
ents in their attitude, but was
speaking bluntly of a situation
which has arisen as the result
of large-scale relief spending by
the Government. She said:

REFUSES
NEGRESSP PLEA
FOR ESTATE
Nancy Moore Simpson Claims
Share of Fortune Lebt by
Wealthy Virginian
International News Service


The Supreme Court today de-
MED a petition for review in
volving the claim of negress and
her daughter to the estate Of
Samuel w. Simpson, deceased,
wealthy scion of an old cavalier
Virginia family.
The case was appeal from the
Virginia Supreme Court, which re-
fused to consider an alleged mar.
riage between Simpson and Nancy
Moore in New York.
Nancy Moore Smith Simpson,
one of those appealing, worked at
the Simpson home at Calverton,
Va, in 1885. She gave birth to a
daughter, now Annie Albertha Sto-
vail, also a claimant to the estate.
Simpson was 1aid to be the
father of the girl. Nancy Moore
went to New York, married James
Smith, and after he died claimed
that she married Samuel Simpson.
She continued to live in New York
and he divided his time between
New York and Virginia, according
to her petition.
The Virginia Supreme Court,
denying their claim to the estate
valued at over 100000, held that
the alleged marriage in New York
was null and void.

By CARROLL PEEKE


A beautiful American matron,
widely known in Washington's
diplomatic and social circles, has
been thrust into the role of king
maker" presiding over the daily
life, the upbringing and the educa-
ton of the little 11-year-old school
boy who rules over Jugoslavia as
King Peter II.
Nine. Slavko Grouitch, wife of
the Marshal of the Court and
former Jugoslavian minister to
Washington, is the parsonage who
is playing such an important part
in the task of rearing the little
boy who mounted to the throne
when an aSsassin's bullet cut down
his father, King Alexander, just
six months ago.
Foster Mother
In Washington she is known
and remembered as the beautiful
Mabel Dunlap of West Virginia,
member of a prominent family,
whose international romance took
her into diplomatic and royal
circles.
Now this American woman,
educated in American schools,
is practically a foster mother to
the little king, exerting probably
more influence over him than
any other person except his
mother.
1t is no new job, this of Nine.
Grouitch, in being a king maker,
for she has been an intimate
friend of the royal family for
many years.
Friend Of Family
In fact, before the tragedy
that elevated the little school
boy to the throne, she acted as
guardian for him and his little
brothers in the absence Of their
parents.
When official duty carried the
royal couple away from home, it
was Nine. Grouitch, the Amer.
lean girl, they called in to care
for their children, to see that all
went well in the royal home.
Often, members of the Jugo-
slavian legation here recalled,
she would take the children to
the royal summer palace N the
Dalmatian Riviera. there direct
ing their play, seeing that their
lessons were done, acting as their
guardian.
International Romance
Born and educated in West
Virginia, Nine. Grouitch displayed
a keen interest in archaeology,
and went to Athens to study the
relics of the past.
There she met Slavko Grouitch,
a young attache of the then
Serbian legation. Romance fol-
lowed and they were married.
Diplomatic life in the capitals
of Europe followed.
Then came the war, and Nine.
Grouitch labored hard to help
her adopted country. After the
war she came to America and
toured the country, telling Of the
plight of the war orphans in
Serbia and raising funds.
She was successful in her quest
and returned to found an orphan
age, dedicated to the memory of
the American Red Cross workers
who lost their lives in Serbia
during the war. She still heads
this orphanage, which carries on
the good work she started.
HOnored by King
In 1922 Grouitch was named
Jugoslavian minister to Washing.
