One almost loses sight of about
100000 white people in 1860, who
lived in the South and held no slaves
Even among the two million slave
holders, an oligarchy of 5000 really
ruled the South, while an observer
said: "For twenty years, / do not
recollect ever to have seen or heard
these non-slave holding referred to
by the Southern gentleman as con-
shutting any part of what they called

and degraded; and only rs per cent

LANDON STILL EvADES
VITAL RELIEF ISSUE

New York.-Governor Landon, Re-
publican presidential candidate, con-
tinued last week to evade the ques-
ton of his alleged advocacy of one
dollar a week relief payments as
enough for a family of three"
In answer to a telegraphed inquiry
by the New York Post, the Hearst
endorsed candidate again ducked the
question raised by State Senator
Joseph Mcdonald of Kansas who
three weeks ago quoted the Republi-
can candidate as stating that $1.0S
per week relief payment is enough
for a family of three. In his reply
to the Posts telegram the Governor
carefully avoided direct answer,
merely claiming that the "record
speaks for ITSELF"
Meantime, charges that the Kansas
State budget was balanced at the
expense of the States educational
system were hurled at the Governor
by Kansas teachers here for the
teachers summer course at Columbia
University.

MECHANICS STRIKE
SPREADS TOMORROW
Union Agent Predicts More to
Go Out as Men Are Called
Out From 11th Shop.

The strike of automobile mechan-
les which so far has taken more than
200 men out Of IL shops in the Dis
trict of Columbia probably will
spread tomorrow, it was predicted yes
terday by Oliver N. Garrison, business
agent for the Mechanics Union. Gar
rison called out his union men from
the eleventh shop yesterday at the
Anacostia Motor Co.
This strike of mechanics for q new
working agreement has been spread
ing day by day from one shop to an
other as Garrison has asked for adop-
ton of the uniform agreement and
been rejected by the automobile deal
ers.
The striking mechanics are asking
for 44-hour week, 90 cents an hour
for mechanics, SO cents for helpers
and time-and-a-half pay for overtime.
They insist the question of an open
shop or closed shop is not an issue.
The Washington Automotive Trade
Association, however, has reiterated
that it will continue to maintain an.
open shop. No dealers have signed
the new agreement asked by the me-
chanics.

6-to.5 Vote.

BY the Associated Press.
Splitting six to five. the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday
changed its mind about two previous
decisions and prohibited group OF
Eastern railroads from instituting free
pickup and delivery service May rs.
The commission originally had au-
thorized the service and then had
declined to reconsider its ruling. A
new petition for reconsideration was
filed late Friday by American Truck
ing Associations, Inc. and on this the
commission suspended the proposed
service until November l..
In the meantime it will conduct
an investigation to determine whether
the service would serve the public
interest or whether 1t would be an
illegal invasion of the field OF motor
carrier operations. Hearings viii be-
gin here June 16.
More than a score of Eastern roads
planned to inaugurate the service to-
morrow, including the Baltimore g.

A colored hairdressing shop at 403
First street southeast was nearly de-

last night before a gas leak was dis
covered as the source of the trouble.

HOEPPELS CHARGE
Jury WAS ILLEGAL
Base Appeal on Ruling Bar
ring Federal Workers
From Duty.

Charging that the jury which tried
them was illegally constituted. Repre-
sentative John H. Hoeppel of Cali
fornia and his son. Charles j. Hoep-
pei, convicted several months ago Of
conspiring to solicit 81 900 for a West
Point appointment, yesterday asked
the United States Court of Appeals for
a rehearing of their case.
They based their plea on the ap-
pellate courts recent decision that
persons employed by the Government,
receiving compensation from or hold
ing contracts with the Government.
are ineligible for service on criminal
juries.
At Liberty on Bail.
Last Monday the Court of Appeals
affirmed their conviction. Father and
son are under sentences of imprison-
ment for four months to a year, but
now are at liberty on bail pending
conclusion of the legal proceedings.
The Hoeppels admitted in their Pc
tition yesterday that they did not
raise the question Of the eligibility of
the jurors at the trial, but offered the
excuse that the courts then were
ruling such objections to be not well
taken.
1t was contended that four members
OF the trial panel should not have been
allowed to serve. One held soldiers
bonus certificate; one was an employe
of the Potomac Electric Power Co.,
which supplies the Government with
electricity; another worked for an Of
fice supply firm dealing with the Gov
ernment, while the fourth was aSsoci-
ated with a firm which had the ac-
counts OF several Army officers.
The defendants were required to use
their valuable and constitutional
right to peremptory challenges to re-
move these classes of people" while
their challenges should have been
available for their usual use, the Hoep-
pels maintained.
Only Used Four Challenges.
Chief Assistant United States At
torney David A. Pine, who headed the
prosecution, said the defendants exer-
cised only 4 Of their 10 peremptory
challenges. He stated also that he
did not think the question of eligibility
of jurors could be raised at so late
date and doubted in any case that
there was sufficient showing of identi-
fication of interest with the Govern
ment to disqualify the four veniremen
challenged.
Motions for leave to amplify the
record so as to include questions to
jurors and their replies, and for
stay Of the Court Of Appeals mandate
also were entered. Representing the
member of Congress were Attorneys
Samuel A. King, Arthur @. Brodie
and Kenneth N. Parkinson.

In the United States Naval Medical
Bulletin he reviewed clinical evidence
by which intoxication might be de-

The chemical findings of the tests
were classified as:
Less than one milligram of alcohol

OUT OF NAVY BILL
Hospital Repair Funds Also
Dropped by Conferees
on Appropriation.

Funds for repairs to Naval Hospital
and to start construction of a new

were dropped from the s526.54s.53

conferees worked out an agreement
on the measure.
The conferees also killed the Senate
amendment which would have given

assigned to the Capitol, the pay and
allowances of a rear admiral of the
lower half. 1t also would have fixed
his retirement allowance on that basis.
when he retired. DR.. Calver at present
is captain.
Funds Must Go Over.
The bill authorizing the new ship
model basin. at a cost OF $3,500. 200.
became Law recently and the Senate
then wrote into the naval bill pro-
vision allowing the department to
make q start on the project during
the coming year. The action of the
conferees mean that funds to begin
the project will wait until next
session.
1t is understood the conferees struck
out the $2s5,000 proposed by the
House for repairs to Naval Hospital
buildings on the ground 1t would be
inadvisable to make the expenditure
on the old structure, in view of a law
authorizing new hospital building.
The final agreement calls for a total
Of $526, 6,546, 900 for the naval estab-
hshment for the coming year, which
Is less than either the House or Senate
previously had approved. 1t still ex-
ceeds current appropriati tions, however.

bill called for 1881, ,06s,70 and the
Senate cut that figure to $529, ,125, ,S06.
Two Ships Are Replacements.
One of the conferees emphasized
yesterday that the two capital ships
mentioned in the bill are replacements,
and that under the final language of
the bill they are to be started only If
the President finds that capital ship
replacement Is commenced by any
other signatory to the London naval
treaty of 1880.
The conferees approved the Senate
amendment allowing $300.00 for i'm
provement Of the water front at the

blood bears direct relation to that
in the brain. the examination of the
blood offers an accurate index of the
brains alcoholic content.
The breath also, as every one can
testify, is heavily laden with alcoholic
vapor, directly proportional to that
of the blood.
The susceptibility Of the brain to
alcohol varies little between one nor
NAL individual and another. The ap-
parent variation in susceptibility in
different individuals is thought to be
governed more by the rate of absorp-
tion, on one hand, and oxidation, ex-
halation, and excretion on the other,

House leaders may force a break
this week in the deadlock between
conferees on the 1897 District appro-
priation bill II an amicsble agree
ment cannot be reached on the
amount the Federal Government
should contribute toward the expenses
of the District.
Senate conferees are holding out
for a lump-sum payment OF $5.700.-
900. Equally adamant is the House
group that the figure be hxed at
50. 700, 900.
Negotiations between the House and
Senate conferees are to be resumed
upon the return of Senator Thomas.
Democrat, OF Oklahoma. who went
to Iowa to keep a political engage
ment. He is expected back Tuesday.
Houses Probable Course.
II an agreement is not reached then
it is believed steps will be taken by the
House either to discharge or instruct
its conferees in an effort to break
the impasSe. House leaders have
pointed out that such a move can be
made under a comparatively new rule.
which allows such a motion as a mat
ter OF highest privilege when a re-
port is not filed within 20 calendar
days after the conferees are named.
The House conferees were appointed
April "a.
In the meantime, Representative
Blanton, Democrat, of Texas, acting
chairman of the House Conference
group, indicated in a statement yes
terday which he challenged the Wash
ington newspapers to print, that he
had no intention of yielding to the
Senate conferees.
Blanton Statement.
Blanton's statement, labeled "a
Senator Thomas smoke screen" fol-
loYs:
Whoever. before. ever heard OF
Senator Thomas prating about. or
preaching the doctrine of standing by
the Presidents budget?
IF the House we're to call his bluff.
to adopt the Presidents budget, 1t
would eliminate about 86 of the 81
Senate amendments. 1t would prevent
appropriating for the new Eastern
High School, the new Chain Bridge,
the new badly needed fire trucks and
Are fighting apparatus. the new Police
Court Building and a lot of other new
projects. all of which were put into
the House bill by the House Subcom-
mittee and passed by the House, but
not one of which were authorized by
the Presidents budget.
If the cry of stand by the Presi-
dents budget is not just a sham and
subterfuge. then Senator Thomas
should likewise demand that all new
construction items and projects not
approved by the Presidents budget,
should be eliminated from the bill.
There Is not newspaper in WASH
ington, that pretends to give all news
items to its readers, that will dare
print the above statement without
emasculating it, because the Washing
ton newspapers don't want the Wash
ington people to know the facts as
they exist"
