in Georgetown. Far ahead now she
could see the red head bobbing along,
as its owner trailed homeward, in his
peculiar, Short-legged dogtrot. she
knew where his home was. One
morning she had followed him from
church and seen him ascend the
stairs to fiat above a shoe store,
four blocks west. The windows OF
the fiat looked dirty, and Helen had
wondered that Tommy-she thought
his name was Tommy-could keep so
neat.
He had she decided, inherited good

Helen envied those parents Life

chance to care for child like that,
Helen knew. She'd sampled almost

he looked like her. The same bright

blue eyes and creamy skin. He might

cared for children, nor for Helen

Lou had dropped out Of sight eight

department head in the advertising
Office where Helen worked. She'd
come to her senses just in time and
bid the department head and his
department adieu. That was the
wisest decision of her life. Another
department head wanted efficiency
inside the office, not congeniality
outside; Helen was hired and put
through rapid series of promotions.

neighborhood with her maid for COM

''red rider" on the 1886 District ap-
preparation act. announced today he
would not testify before the Educa-
ton Subcommittee of the District
Committee which is considering the
Sisson bill providing for the riders
repeal.
Il am not going to waste any time
appearing before the subcommittee, "
Blanton declared. 1T Is not my busi-
ness to follow up laws enacted by
Congress. I will, however, have some
thing to say if the Sisson bill Is
called up on the floor of the House"
With foes of the rider scoring an
unopposed victory in the first round
of the battle, members of the Board
of Education today are preparing to
continue their offensive when the

have adopted resolutions asking that
the ban be lifted and others have made
known that they oppose the restric-
tions that exist now.
Maverick Asks to Testify.
Maverick asked to be heard yester-
day, but when Chairman Kennedy,
Democrat, of Maryland and Represen-
tatives Schultz and Brewster asked
that they be allowed time for cross
examination. he did not insist.

schools. He asked for data to sup
port the argument he expects to make
against his fellow Texan, Representa-
tive Blanton, who has promised a
vigorous fight to retain the pres
ent ban.

heard Monday will be DR.. Edgar G.
Higbie, president of the District Of

Go to White House.

BY accepting minor House amend
ments. the Senate yesterday COM
pleted and sent to the White House
two local bills, one providing for
court sale of property bid in by the
District government at delinquent tax

file an equity suit to have the property
sold at public auction to meet the
taxes. Any remaining amount from
the sale would be returned by the
court to the former owners.

POLLUTION IND. c.
IS CITED FOR BILL
Delano Testifies for Loner.
gan Measure to Remedy
National Evil.

Pollution in the Potomac River and
Rock Greek was given as one illustra-
ton of a Nation wide problem by
Frederic A. Delano, vice chairman Of
the National Resources Committee, ap-
pearing before a Senate Subcommlt-
tee today on the Lonergan bill to elm
mate stream pollution throughout the
country.
Right here in the Capital" Delano
said, although we have q working
agreement with Maryland, we still
have tremendous amount of pollu-
ton in Rock Creek Valley"
Referring to the $4,000 900 sewage
treatment plant being constructed on
the Potomac at Blue Plains, on q p.
w. A. loan and grant, Delano con-
tinued:
THE District government, with Fed
eral aid. is putting in a treatment
plant at the outfall of the sewer, but,
of course, that expense would be
much less If we kept out of the river
pollution that gets in from the Rock
Creek and Potomac Valleys"
Partial Step Taken.
In this connection, the Commission
ers have just awarded a contract for
the Luzon Valley sewer piping, which
will eliminate some of the sewage en-.
tering Rock Greek and the District by
separating certain combined storm and
sanitary sewers. There still remains
for later consideration the proposed
Pney Branch trunk sewer to carry the
program further. The District also
has two smaller projects it hopes to
carry out in the near future to extend
District sewers to the boundary line
to intercept Maryland sewers.
The Lonergan bill would make the
National Resources Committee Q per.
manent planning agency on the ques-
ton of stream pollution throughout
the country, to cooperate with boards
Of local representatives to be set up in
sanitary districts throughout the coun-
try. The bill also authorizes loans
and grants Co municipalities to elimi-
nate stream pollution.

LIQUOR PLOT TRIAL
ARGUMENT BEGUN
Defense Rests Unexpectedly
After Testimony by
Only 6 Witnesses.

Arguments were begun this morn
ing in the District Supreme Court
trial Of 81 alleged bootleggers whom
the Government is attempting to link
with huge liquor ring which alleged
ly supplied Washington with some
10000 gallons of illicit spirits weekly.
In an unexpected move the defense
closed its case late yesterday after
only six witnesses had testified. At
torneys previously had predicted three
or four days would be consumed in
presentation of defense evidence. The
Government required IL days to put
its case before the jury.
None of the principal defendants
took the witness stand to testify in
their own behalf, their counsel ap-
parently stalking their hopes on legal
issues involved.
Status Of Evidence Questioned.
Foremost among these was the
question of whether vital evidence in
troduced by the prosecution consti-
tuted violation of the Federal COM
munication act and therefore was in
admissible. Defense Attorneys Will
liam H. Collins and Harry T. Whelan
contended testimony involving tapped
telephone calls and telegraphic money
orders violated the new law which
prohibits any one divulging the pur-
port of interstate communications.
Evidence that some $116,000 was
sent by telegraph from Washington to
Arthur Bartolozzi of Trenton, N. j.
allegedly IN payment for alcohol ship
ments. is considered of utmost i'm
portance in the effort of the Govern
ment to connect the New Jersey man
with the Washington distributing CT
ganization.
Alcohol Tax Unit investigators who
listened to moret han 1900 telephone
conversations over tapped wires con-
sumed two days In their testimony and
this evidence also Is involved in the
defense argument concerning the COM
munications act.
Defense Asks Directed Verdict
Immediately after Assistant United
States Attorneys Henry A. Schwein-
haut and Howard Boyd announced
yesterday that the Governments case
was closed, defense attorneys moved
for q directed verdict. Justice F.
Dickinson Let's denied their plea.
The five defendants who contested
their guilt by presentation of testi-
mony were all colored. They were
Julia Beck, Raymond Hawkins, Upton
Dorsey, German Wright and Corlis
Sims. All but Dorsey testified. Dor
sey's counsel put two witnesses on
the stand who told the jury that Dor
sey is in the coal business and his
connection with the present liquor
conspiracy trial is case of mistaken
identity.
The case was expected to reach the
jury this afternoon, since Justice Let's
imposed strict time limitation on
counsel. He allotted the Government
but one and half hours for argument
and the defense slightly more than
two hours.

Police today were seeking solution
to the mysterious ransacking of q
home at 2733 Connecticut avenue yes
terday afternoon, after which one Of
the occupants, 18-year-old Margaret
Sampson, attractive daughter of the
late Col. Odiorne H. Sampson, U. S. A.,
was found unconscious on the floor of
closet.
Detective Sergt. Chester Stepp, who
is investigating. declared he had no
clues concerning identity of the burg
lars nor could he explain why and
how the girl had been thrust into the
closet.
The man or men who entered the
house apparently were searching for
money, he said. Closets, bureaus and
desk drawers had been opened and
the contents strewn about the floor.
Mrs. Sampson, widow of the colonel,
said nothing was missing, but that no
money was in the house at the time
it was ransacked.
An Army physician who examined
Margaret announced she suffered no
injury in the affair. He explained
she may have tainted. She suffered
brain conclusion several weeks ago
while coasting on hill in Rock Greek
Park.
When revived yesterday afternoon,
more than an hour after she was
found unconscious by her sister, JUS
tine, IS, a student at Western High
School, Margaret told police she had
lain on her bed for a nap at about
2 o'clock and had no recollection OF
subsequent events. Asleep on the Sec
ond floor, she could not remember
hearing any one enter the house by
breaking a glass in the rear door of
the first floor, according to police re-
ports.
Miss Sampson, a student at the
Henry Casper School of Music, left
home about 10:30 am. to attend
classes, her family reported. She was
expected back at about 1890 pm.
Her mother and grandmother. Mrs.
L. M. Ware, meanwhile had left the
