It seems that yesterday one
member Of the department drove
down into Washington to get some
supplies for the carnival being
staged by the department.
Parking place being lacking, he
figured fire truck could get by
with double parking. But not so.
A policeman looked, saw no fire,
and called the tow truck, which
took the hose wagon away and i'm
pounded it.
So, despite protests of the fire
men, they had to put up So to get

80 INDICTED
IN REPORT OF
GRAND JURY
Patient at Mental
Hospital Named
In Staying

George w. Stevens, 22.year-old
patient at st. ElizabethS Hospital,
was indicted for manslaughter by
the District Grand Jury today in
connection with the death of Col.
Carroll F.. Armstead, U. S. A., re-
tired, who allegedly died as the
result of a blow inflicted by Ste
venS fist.
Colonel Armstead, who was 81
years Of age, in company with
Stevens and 10 other patients, was
being escorted through the cor
rider of one of the hospital build
ings, it is alleged, when Stevens
suddenly turned and planted q
blow in the victims face. Colonel
Armstead'S head struck the floor
as he fell and he died as a direct
result of a skull fracture sustained
in the fall.
A total of 80 indictments was
reported by the grand jury in
GLIDING one charging George
Frederick Tear with operating a
smoke screen on his automobile.
Faces Another Case
Tear, a brother of the finance
of Corinna Loring, victim of a
mysterious murder a year ago,
is already indicted for attempt
ing to kill a policeman in con-
nection with an alleged attempt
to wreck the automobile in which
the officer was riding.
He is also under conviction and
appeal in connection with liquor
conspiracy and recently was inter
rogated as a suspect in the alleged
gang shooting of Joseph E.
O'Brien.
In the present indictment it is
alleged that Tear, while being pur-
sued by James w. Rogers and
Karl o. SpeisS, agents of the Blu
reau Of Internal Revenue, in their
machine, threw a smoke screen be-
hind him, endangering the lives
of the officers. The officers con-
tinued their pursuit and made the
arrest, reporting that companion
of Tear leaped from the machine
and escaped.
Club Theft Charged
Embezzlement of $1,712.65 Of
the funds of the Army and Navy
Club, where he was employed, is
charged in an indictment re-
ported against William F. Daley,
81, former employe of the club.
Daley, according to the indict-
ment, had taken the checks and
cash to deposit in a local bank
on October 90, 1885, but was not
heard from until the following
day when club officials received
a telegram from stating that the
money bag was in the Congress
Sional Library. The bag was found
but the money was missing, it is
said.
Others indicted and the charges
against them include:
Robert Lassiter, first-degree murder.
James Brown, arson.

AMENDMENT.
ALSO HITS
PUBLICITY
N ew Administration
Presses Check on
Liberal Groups
By J. EARLE MOSER

DETROIT, Sept. 16.-Clamping
down for the second time on the
liberals the Government unions,
the American Federation of Gov
eminent Employees in the last day
of its convention here today put
the lid on strikes and other "em-
barrassing" acts of individual
lodges.
After heated debate, the conven-
ton approved an amendment to
the A. F. G. E. constitution in
which it is stipulated:
"The A. F. G. E. will not toll
crate strikes, publicity, or other
public acts having the effect of
embarrassing governmental au-
thOritieS."
This action followed the Sus-
pension order of yesterday in
which IS lodges holding temper
airy charters were dropped from
the organization, with charges
against five New Deal units that
they were operating under COM
muniStic influence.
The "other public acts" clause
in the constitutional amendment
was inserted to prevent unruly
lodges from acts such as have
resulted in two suspensions dur
ing the past year.
Recall Movad
It's new administration clicking
with the precision and power of
locomotive, the federation
moved to knock out all provisions
for recall proceedings against ma
tional officers.
In substitution, it was provided
that the executive council shall
by two-thirdS vote suspend it's
members in case of malfeaSance
in office, or complaint by any
member.
The action was taken follow
ing numerous recalls which had
embarrassed the union during the
six months preceding the conven-
ton meeting here, one against
former President E. Claude Bah
cock and four others against as
many Washington members Of
the executive council.
With Babcock succeeded by Col.
Charles I. Stengle here yesterday,
the suspension provision conStitu-
ted a severe rebuke to liberal fac
tons of the A. F. G. E. They had
hoped to remove Cecil E. Custer,
Ira Y. Balm, Michael D. Schaefer
and G.. Carol Dimond, all of
washington, from the executive
council.
Vote is Unlikely
A two-thirds vote against the
quartet is known to be extremely
unlikely under the present admin

spiritual uplift in the spiritual life
of this great community. The mission
brings to us one Of the most influen-
tial speakers of our day-Dr. E. STAN
ley JoneS-as we'll as many other
prominent religious leaders. In addi-
ton, the mission provides good back
ground for the eight-day missions to
follow in the local churches"
Rev. H. M. Canter, pastor of Ep-
worth M. E. Church South: THE open
ing of the mission in Washington is
one of the most auSpicious events in
the religious life of the Capital City.
The coming of distinguished minis
ters and laymen from this country
and Europe undoubtedly will stir
the church as nothing else has done in
years. I am particularly interested
in the seminars to be conducted. I
believe they will furnish an unusual
opportunity for acquainting ones
self with the practical aspects of re-
ligion. The outcome of the mission,
believe, will be a deepening of the
spiritual life here and an awakening
of a sense Of personal responsibility
of those in the community who can
be reached by U.s."
Rev. r. M. Skinner, pastor of George
town Presbyterian Church: 1T is my
firm conviction that this mission is
coming to us at time of great need,
when the individual morality is at
low ebb and when atheism, material
ism and commercialiSm are making
great inroads into our national life.
The missioners will bring a fresh con-
ception Of the gospel of Christ and a
new challenge to accept His way of
life. The hand of God will work
through the mission to bring about a
revival of religion"
Rev. Simpson B. Daugherty, pastor
of Memorial United Brethren Church,
declared: The National Preaching
Mission places the approach to evan
gelism on strictly spiritual basis with
the elimination of any political aspect.
I believe it represents the compass
sion of the Master for the uplift of
human lives. 1t is the finest thing we
have ever had"
The Western Presbyterian, Union
Methodist and Concordia Lutheran
Evalgelical Churches already have de-
cided to conduct a union preaching
mission for three days, at the con-
clusion of the preaching mission here,
beginning next Sunday. Practically
all Protestant churches in the city

KWEISUI, Suiyuan, China, Novem-
Der 7.-Foreigners, including Japanese,
fed this province today because of
the threatening Eastern Suiyuan- Cha
har border crisis-the result Of al
legged Japanese-sponSored invasions OF
the North China area.
American missionaries, scattered In
Isolated hamlets throughout the huge
province, were among those evacuat-
ing. Dispatches from Paotou. western
terminus Of the Peiping-Suiyuan Rail-
way, said japanese and other for
eigners were fleeing in fear Of sud-
den outbreak of hostilities.
Stuart Gunzetl Of Wausau, Wis,
reached here from Pailingmiao to re-
port the war zone appeared destined
to engulf the northern Suiyuan from
tier. A graduate of Wheaton Col
lege, he is a member of the Scandi-
navian Alliance Mission, with head
quarters at Chicago.
Reports of developments in the
North China sector confiicted.
Chinese sources said Suiyuan troops
dominated the eastern frontier and
held invading Mongol irregulars
within the Chahar boundaries.
Toxic advices said Japan would al
low China free hand in cleaning out
the border invaders. This was in
terpreted by observers here to mean
Japan was unwilling to become further
embroiled in North China disputes.
Despite Chinese claims to military
successes, TientSin reports said ir.
regulars had again entered Suiyuan
and forged the province defenders to
retreat toward Shangtu. Severe fight
ing was under way, these advices
stated, as far westward as Taolin.
Airplanes. which Chinese sources
alleged were japanese, supported the
Chahar attackers with repeated bomb
ing raids, the Tientsin dispatches said.

ROADS ASK DELAY
ON RATES CHANGE
Continuation of Emergency
Increases Pending |. &C.
Inquiry Urged.
NJ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Endeavoring to block lowering Of
freight rates January l, the leading
American railroads yesterday asked
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to continue temporarily the emer-
gency increases authorized more than
q year ago, which bring In more than
slo0,000,000 a year.
Continuation of the increases until
90 days after the commission COM
pletes its inquiry, starting January 6.
into basic rates was asked. A de-
cision on the general inquiry is not
expected for possibly six months.
The petition was filed by the Asso-
citation of American Railroads, acting
for approximately 1870 carriers. 1t
also asked that lake cargo rates and
switching rates at Boston, Mass, be
included in the inquiry and that the
names Of the Denver g. Salt Lake
Railway and the Wichita Falls &
Southern Railroad be included among
the petitioners. 1t was claimed that
these had been left out Of the original
petition by error
The commission last Thursday re-
opened the case under which it au-
thorized the surcharges on freight
rates after an inquiry in 1894. The
surcharges had been kept in effect by
orders issued every six months ex-
tending the period.
The reopening was caused by filing
Of petition by the railroads for re-
vision upward of basic rates so as to
retain permanently most of the in
creases granted through surcharges.
The commission said 1t acted in
order to shorten introduction of evil
dence by permitting carriers and
shippers to omit much evidence al
ready before it.
