UPPER MARLBORO, Md, October
29.-Assurance that he would "vigor-
ously prosecute" offenders in the al
legged police-bonding ring, object of
an investigation by the Prince Georges
County grand jury, was given to Key
stone Automobile Club officials by
States Attorney Alan Bowie here last
night.
Attorney Harvey L. Cobb and George
Keneipp, manager of the clubs Wash
ington branch, conferred with the
prosecutor here for half an hour as
they offered the testimony of 80 Dis
trict motorists for checking against
Police Court records.
The drivers statements. in affidavit
form, will be the foundation of the
inquiry into charges that police and
bondsmen have swindled Capital
autoists out of thousands of dollars
through an easy payment" fine
system.
System to Be Changed.
According to recommendations of
the recently recessed grand jury,
Bowie will appoint at least one investi-
gator to assist him in the probe. He
declared that he did not know, until
study of the affidavits. just what per-
sonnet he would need. An auditor
and detective might be necessary. he
said, but no appointment will be made
before next week.
Regardless OF possible indictments
when the reconvenes within two
months, .sf, u? changes in the file
keeping system are needed, Bowie de-
clared. He pointed out that ali re-
cords, from justice of the peace papers
through arrest books and court docu-
ments. should be adequately num-
bered and indexed so that a continual
check on cases might be kept"
Although several hundred motorists
have contacted Keystone since the in
vestigation was opened by the jury
October 10, in only 80 cases were affl-
davits taken. OF these, Cobb said yes
terday, a dozen are suitable for prose-
cution if court records support atlantis
contentious. The others, indicating
police ineficiency and corruption" will
strengthen the evidence against about
half dozen officers.
I'VE have ample evidence to show
that these motorists have been perse-
cuted, not prosecuted" Cobb said.
Procedure illustrated.
In the strongest afidavits the pro-
cedure is illustrated thusly:
A motorist is arrested on a serious
traffic charge. Placed under bond, he
pays bonding fee to the bondsmen.
The latter then offers to fix the case
by payment of the minimum fine and
costs to him. This sum usually
amounts to $1O150. After payment of
the fine" the motorist leaves, to hear
no more of the case. But court records
reveal that the charge has been re-
duced and the case is settled in court
by forfeiture of a small collateral
payment and costs. This sum is
usually $1170.
What investigators will attempt to
show the grand jury when it recon-
venes is this: In numerous cases most
of the motorists payment of fine and
costs" never-went to the court, and
thus never went to the public treasury.

Giner de Los Rios, originated the
modern Spanish public school system.
Both the Ambassador and his wife
are close friends of the composer, De
Falla, whose Amor Brujo" is par
ticularly well known here.
The Ambassador was a professor
of political science at the University
of Barcelona for years, and their
home was a gathering place for writ
ers, artists and teachers. In 1881
Senior Don de Los Rios went to
Madrid as minister of education and
he is now president of the University
of Madrid. He lectured two years ON
government at Columbia University
in New York.
Sonora de Los Rios looks forward
to meeting Mrs. Roosevelt, having
heard that they share common in
terest in education. She hopes to
visit great many colleges in the
United States, particularly women's
institutions. In Spain today women
are likely to outnumber men at the
universities, she says. convention hav-
ing released them to higher educa-
ton.
The status of women in her coun-
try is exactly the same as in America,
the sonora said. They are excluded
from no professions. Indeed, wom-
an was recently appointed Minister to
Denmark. Among the first in Spain
to rear children in the modern fash
ion, Sonora de Los Rios young daugh-
ter, Senorita Laura, who is here with
her mother and father, has been
teaching in Spain two years, having
been graduated from the University
of Madrid and taken graduate work
at Cambridge.
Acting as interpreter and English
instructor to Sonora de Los Rios at
the moment is another young woman,
product of both Spain and America,
Josef1na de Roman, who went to
school in Spain with her daughter.
A Spaniard by birth, Senorita de
Roman was graduated from George
washington University, which she at
tended one year after three years at
Mount Holyoke.
With her linguistic gifts it will be
no time at all before Sonora de Los
Rios English is perfect, Miss de Ro-
man says. Having arrived in Wash
ington october 8, she Is already be-
ginning to supplement her knowledge
of the written language with the
idiom. She spends most Of her time
reading English papers and practic-
ing conversation.
Another lady at the embassy is
Sonora de Los Rios 83-year-old
mother, who is an artist Of distinc-
ton. Her oil paintings are well
known ON the continent, and she also
creates dolls-lifelike, exquisite man
nequins Of historical characters and
the subjects of famous paintings. In
a glass case in one of the parlors are
exhibited these fascinating figures Of
old Spain-a bull fighter, lady In
black lace peeking over huge fan,
and a velvet clad don strumming q
guitar.
It seems that in the de Los Rios
family, the emancipation OF woman
Is at least three generations old.

D.C.ITALIANS CELEBRATE
ANNIVERSARY OF MARCH

Nearly 300 Washington Italians
gathered at the Italian Embassy with
Ambassador Fulvio Suvich last night
to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary
of Premier Mussolini's march on Rome.
They heard an address by the Am
bassador, who said Fascism has meant
peace and happiness to the citizens Of
Italy," and has resulted in uniting in
closer bonds not only the citizens in
Italy and those throughout Europe, but
all Italians residing in the United
States.
Members of the Order of Sons of
Italy, Felice Cavalotti Lodge, the Lido
Civic Club and the Italian Ladies'
Legion Auxiliary attended the cele-
bration.

are suspended plants Of the japanese
cascade or mountain varieties, which
have trailing branches of small white,
pink, lavender, yellow, red and bronze
flowers.
The first chrysanthemum show Of
the Department of Agriculture was
held in the latter part Of October,
1902. a little over so years after
the flower was first introduced into
this country. The Chrysanthemum
Society of America did not hold its
first exhibition until November. 1902.
The Department of Agriculture has
held a show each year for IS years,
although the public was not admitted
to the one in 1918 because Of the in
f1uenza epidemic at that time.
Since the chrysanthemum shows
were inaugurated the department hy-
bridizers have developed many new
varieties.

a good chance Of discovering the
whereabouts of the shrimp"
The problem of the shrimp Is that
when the mercury goes down, the
large shrimp, which brings the fish,
erman big money, strikes out for parts
unknown and leaves only smaller
shrimp on the regular fishing grounds.
The bureaus scientists have reason
to believe that the big fellows con-
gregate in deeper offshore waters Of
the Gulf, for occasional stragglers
have been seen in a warm-water zone
of the Louisiana coast.
During a five-year inquiry into the
life Of the shrimp the bureau has
established that this water dweller
migrates as much as 200 miles to
escape Winter. Fisheries men keep

BY w. H. SHIPPEN, Jr.
THERE'S lot of sporting blood
in Jackie Jackson'S veins.
Maybe she inherited it from
u her great uncle, the late John
L. Sullivan. Or, laughs Jackie, some
body might have given it to her at
the hospital.
At any rate, Jackie has abandoned
an invalid's cot to become Washing
tons No. wrestling fan. She never
misses a match, because in the ex-
element and thrill of combat she can
lose herself" and become one with
the roaring crowd.
Jackie dreamed of this bliSsful
state but scarcely dared hope she
/ could attain it during the five years
she lay in Emergency Hospital while
surgeons struggled to save her ebbing
life and to restore her crushed legs.
Fought Gamely for Life.
A score of blood transfusionS and
as many operations would have gone
in vain, doctors admitted. but for
Jackie's own refusal to accept defeat
her sporting blood. Now she is on
the road to complete independence,
she feels, and within the next IL
months will toss her clutches out of
the window.
But to Jackie, as she sat in her
home at 1929 Belmont street last night
and gaily chatted with her visitors,
the tribulations of the past were as
nothing compared with her enthusi-
asm for living and her belief In the
future.

my girl friend who rooms with
me-" said Jackie, doesn't know how
rapidly I am learning to do things
for myself. I can take care of my
self walking on level ground, even in
crowds, so long as there are no steps
to climb. I can do my own cooking,
launder my own clothes and straighten
up the apartment.
when I do go to the wrestling
matches my girl friend says: Please.
Jackie, don't take that ringside seat
again. You know how those matches
are. Sometime one of the wrestlers
is going to tumble through the ropes

But I only laugh. From a ring

Fox Voting

With balloting more spirited
than ever, the third day Of voting
in the election" to rename Loew'S

itoi" forging ahead and adding to
the lead it has maintained since

Today "Loew's Capitol" had

the second candidate, "Loew's
President" with 2547 votes. Still
in the race is "Loew's Embassy

number of votes yesterday and to.
day stands third in the race with
2285 ballots.

far behind the leaders with the
former having 1887 votes and the
latter 1873. The Congressional
totaled HOT, Diplomat 449, Fed.

Union still in last position with
but 17S votes being cast for it.
The volume Of votes cast con
tinued to amaze Loew officials
and seemed to emphasize the
approval Of the Washington resi-
dents in being given the oppor
tunity to vote for the new name
for the Fox. In three days there
have been 14,279 votes cast at
