Smoky, dark brown Shetland
pony, spent this morning in stir" at
No. precinct station playing with
policemen, reporters and photograph
ers while his owner, 15-year- Peter
Fineran, 116 C street southeast,
cruised the neighborhood on his bicy-

A distress" telephone call from the
100 block of B street southeast at
l:30 am. stating some one is break
ing in around here" brought the
patrol wagon pronto.
Instead of a burglar, however, police
found Smoky busily engaged in kick

reckless abandon. Smoky was COL

where he was locked in the garage
with the patrol wagon. He spent a
little time in the same place three or
four months ago when he strayed off
The capture of the burglar" was
made by Policemen Gideon F. Cherry

Smoky spent the early hours today

FORCE INCREASED
TO HANDLE BONUS
ANY Delay in Sending Checks
Will Be Short, Off,
eials Say.

So many more bonus bonds have
been certified through the banks Of
the country than was expected that it
has been necessary to add greatly to
the personnel and equipment Of the
Office of the Treasurer of the United
States and the Division of Loans and
Currency. it was disclosed today.
Department officials. however, said
that any delay in forwarding checks
would be held to two or three days.
Bonds returned to the Treasury Del
partment for redemption must pass
both through the Treasurer Office and
two sets of records in the Loans and
Currency Division.
1t was explained that, under the
bonus set-up, 248 postmasters through
out the country were made fiscal agents
of the Treasury Department, with the
right to issue checks for bonds cer-
titled in those particular post offices
or others in the area. 1t was also pro-
vided that a majority of the banks
could certify the bonds for direct
issuance of the checks from the de-
partment.
Contrary to the belief that the ma
jority of the veterans would use the
post office facilities, which are much
quicker, there has been a large flow
of bonds into the Treasury from the
banks. This is due. it was said, to the
fact many veterans could be more
quickly identified at the banks where
they do business than they could
through their post offices.
Approximately 800 persons have been
drawn from the Civil Service rolls for
extra work in the Treasury DEPART
ment, and the business of handling
the bonds is being rushed with the
least possible delay, it was said.

VALUABLE CHAL|CE
FOUND BY POLICE
JeWeI-Studded Gold Goblet
Broken and Stones Re-
moved by Thief.

A jewel-studded gold chalice, stolen
more than a month ago from the rec
tory of st. Aloysius Church, North
Capitol and I streets, has been re-
covered by police from two second
hand shops-crushed and broken and
with the valuable stones removed.
The chalice, which was used only
on special occasions, was valued at
$2,500.
Only two diamonds, fraction of
the many jewels, including sapphires
and emeralds, which were embedded
in the heavy gold goblet, have been
found. A gold serving plate. which
was taken at the same time the
chalice was stolen from locked cab
met in the rectory, also has been re-
covered. A hole had been cut in the
plate to remove the name of the
church.
The theft was reported to police last
Friday by Rev. Laurence j. Kelly,
S. j., pastor of st. Aloysius. The dis
appearance of the chalice was not dis
covered until about two weeks ago
when it was wanted for a special
mass.
Last seen on April IL, the chalice
had not been used since Easter Sun
day. After the services that day the
chalice and the gold plate were placed
in the cabinet and locked up. The
thief is believed to have used a dupli-
cate key.
Parts Of the chalice and the gold
plate were recovered on May by
Detective Sergts. Charles Warfield,
chief of the jewelry and clothing
squad, and Ben johnson. They ran
across the damaged goblet in routine
check-up of pawn shops and second
hand stores, where stolen goods often
are passed off on dealers. It was a
month later before the officers sus-
picions that it had been stolen were
confirmed.
The bowl portion of the chalice had
been separated from the stem and the
stones apparently had been dug out
with a knife. The pieces then were
sold individually to allay suspicion.
The chalice was presented to the
church in 1924 by the parishioners.

Democrats Find d. C.. Voter. IS,
Who Supported Ticket in ~
Richard F. BickertOn Is
Candidate for Bottle
of 1873 Vine.

Richard F. Bickerton, hale despite
the approach of his seth year, today
announced his candidacy for a bottle
of 1873 wine and ride in the Demo-
cratic torchlight procession on Satur-
day night as he revealed that he had
voted Democratic ticket in the Dis
trict in 1872.
The Roosevelt nominators have
promised the reward to the Oldest
Democratic voter located in the Dis
trict.
Mr.. Bickerton, slightly built gray
haired man who doesn't look much
more than 10, was born on July 80,
1851, on H street between Ninth and
Tenth and has lived in the District all
his life. At present he is living with
son, Frank L. Bickerton, at 100 Fourth
street southeast.
Admitting to being bit hazy in his
recollection Of the 1872 election in the
District, Mr.. Bickerton says his only
clear memory is that Of voting for
William Nixon, Democrat, for the local
House Of Delegates. At that time the
District had the territorial form of
government. with House of Delegates
of % members being elected by the
people. Residents of the District also
elected Delegate to the House of Rep
resentatives at that time.
The 1872 ballot was Mr.. Bicker-
tons first and last, he explained,
since the voting privilege was with
drawn from the District before an
other opportunity came. One of his
deepest convictions, Mr.. Bickerton
said, is that citizens of the Capital
should have the privilege of suffrage.
During his long and active life, Mr..
Bickerton has been in the costume
business, the calcium light business,
and has been a representative of one
of the big insurance companies. He
said he furnished illumination for
one of Buffalo Bills shows in Bal

Senator in the midst of the presi-
Dental campaign-a campaign in
which reelection Is sought by Presi-
dent who Is at once the head Of the
Democratic party and at the same
time the source and symbol of the
New Deal. 1t is another example Of
frank realization by Democrats that
the Democratic party is one thing
and the New Deal different thing.
The Democratic leaders who real
ize this include almost all the more
thoughtful ones. Their recognition
Of the fact is practically universal.
They differ only with respect to what
they think they should do about it.
One group thinks the duty OF Dem
ocratic leaders is to try frankly and
directly to defeat Mr.. Roosevelt. This
group includes those who recently
conferred at Detroit, ex-senator
James A. Reed of Missouri, ex-Gov.
Ely of Massachusetts, and some so
more. The prevailing characteristic
of these is that they are not now
Office holders. They are under no
deterrent of expediency, of desire to
be Reelected, or of party harmony.
Most Of these will vote against Mr..
Roosevelt and campaign against him.
Another Strategy at Work.
Another group consists OF Demo-
cratic leaders who feel they must sat-
isfy their conscience by publicly de-
nouncing the New Deal, or most of
| it-but who at the same time feel
the best course is to go along" with
program of re-electing Mr.. Roose-
velt. The expectation of those is that
Immediately after Mr. Roosevelt is re-
elected, If he is reelected. they will
at once proceed to make the Demo-
cratic party again Democratic. to re-
| quire President Roosevelt to be Dem
ocratic, to throw out of Congress any
proposed measures that are not Dem
ocratic, and to press Mr. Roosevelt to
throw out of his circle those subordi-
mates and advisers who are New
Dealers and not Democrats.
The group of Democratic leaders
who pravailingly think some such
way as this is symboli8ed by Senator's
Glass and Byrd OF Virginia, to whom.

braska is now TO be added Most of
the Democrats who take this view are
office holders and either are now or
will be candidates for reelection. To
some extent certainly some of them
may be influenced by this considera-
tion
There remains another group. Dem
ocratic leaders who feel as strongly
against the New Deal as Senator
Glass or Senator Burke, but who, I'D
to the present. have refrained from
public condemnation of 1t. In pri-
vate, some OF them speak bitterly.
Just now, and for months past, they

! science about what is their duty.
Some of them will speak out before

tor Burke took notice OF the fact that
one of the leading New Dealers,
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace, had recently put out book
which Wallace called Whose Con-
Stitution?" That questioning title
had the manner of challenge, of
satire, and the body of Wallace's
book bore out the spirit OF the title.
The book stirred Senator Burke to
indignant reply. He called his speech
by title implying possessive affec-
ton for the Constitution, pride IN 1t
and loyalty to it-"Our Constitution. !"
Hits Norris for Court Views.
Burke replied vigorously to New
Dealer Wallace. He said that
Wallace's proposal of a council of
general welfare" and others Of
Wallace's proposals would result in
the abandonment of both the eco
nomic and the political system"
which America has always had.
Senator Burke took notice also of
another New Dealer, his colleague
from Nebraska in the Senate. George
w. Norris. He strongly condemned
the proposal favored by Senator
Norris which would require a two
thirds ma jority of the Supreme Court
to invalidate legislation on con-
stitutional ground. Broadly, Senator
Burke pleaded that America keep hold
on the Constitutions fundamental
and Interchangeable guarantees" of
liberty for the individual, its protec-
tion Of the individual against oppres-
sion by government. Burke indorsed
the fundamental spirit in which the
Constitution was written: Our
fathers feared the tyranny Of un-
checked sovereigns. They knew
that authority continually reached out
for more authority. There are
