CONGRESSMAN SECREST CALLS
ATTENTION TO CONSERVATION


Following are excerpts from
speech Congressman r. 7. Secrest
delivered recently before the house
of representatives, on soil conserVa-
tion: 80
Recently there came to my desk
a small volume on conservation ana
INV eyes fell upon a most starting
hit of information. l read tnat re-
cent studies indicate that the Sa-
bara and Cobb deserts were once
occupied by prosperous peoples. l
could hardly believe that these two
greatest and most desolate deserts
in the world ever boasted OF Ter
tile topsoil capable of producing
in abundance the products or an
cient agriculture. How long will 1T
he / wondered, with our present
unconcern and waste, until this
s.desert disease shall destroy for
agricultural purposes the lands OF
my district and the nation. VIII the
cities of our country ever stand de-
serted looking for hundreds OF miles
source of their greatness, their
wealth, their very life? Is this a
nation of unlimited resources, from
which we can draw forever, or is II
possible that future generations
will die for want of the things we
waste today? Nations OF the ancient
world grew where the soil was fer
tile. For generation after genera
tion this nation was strictly agrlcul-
tural, growing in power and wealth
as new lands were opened to cultl-
yation. AS our nation grew, conser-
walton seemed a foolish waste OF
time. When the old farm became
unproductive new land could be hao
for little or nothing. Our good Tor
tune made us a nation Of destroy
ers. We cleared and burned oul
forests. When the new land be
came exhausted by cultivation an6
erosion we moved to new locatlol
and repeated the process.
We have broken the orderly law.

Today we face a crisis not as wei

the nation has passed, but certainly
Just as serious TO our future wei

tell us that the dust storm of May
IL, 1884, swept 300,000,0OO tons O.
fertile topsoil off the great whea
plains, enough to spread a layer O.
soil eight inches deep over every
foot of Noble county, in which
live. This was only one of many
dust storms.
Sections of the country have beer
farmed in most cases without plar
or reason. Today streams that the
pioneers found clear and we'll stock

soil from millions of farms. Foul
hundred million tons Of soil ma

ADMITS ROLE
IN BANK ROBBERY
Gangster Is Held to Grand
Jury After Arraignment.
$4,000 Bail Set.

Pleading guilty to a charge Of rob-
bing the Woodridge-Langdon Bank of
nearly $4,000 in 1882, Charles
Thornton Doc) Bean, alias Charles
Ash, was ordered held for the grand
jury yesterday when arraigned before
United States Commissioner Needham
c. Turnage.
The gangster, who also has been
questioned in connection with the
murder of Jack Cunningham, boot
logger and police informer, was re-
manded to the District Jail in default
of $4,000 bail set by the commits
sioner.
Bean was brought here from New
York last week, following his arrest
in an opium den on charges Of
carrying a concealed weapon and vio-
lating the narcotics law. He admit
ted taking part in the bank robbery,
according to police.
Police said his partner in the hold
up, during which four bank employees
were forced into basement while the
looting was carried out, was Eddie
Dee, who was killed in attempting to
rob an armored truck in Philadelphia
last Summer.
Detective Sergt. Frank o. Brass
said Bean had admitted staging q
liquor robbery at the Salvadorean
Legation here in 1881 and firing sew
eral shots at DR.. Don Carlos de Leiva,
Minister of FL Salvador.
Bean Is said to have named the men
who participated in the liquor rob-
berry. The robbery was not charged to
Bean. Brass said DR.. De Leiva could
not be located to appear in court as
complaining witness.
Inspector Bernard w. Thompson,
chief of detectives, said SO far there
Is insufficient evidence to charge Bean
with the murder of Cunningham. The
latter was shot to death in 1881 as
he entered his home, in the 1400 block
Of L street. He Is alleged to have
been slain after he gave police in
formation regarding the Legation rob-
berry.

LEGAL GAMBLING
HIT BY BAPT|STS
Garnett Commended for
Stand Against Bingo
Party Benefits.

Attempts to legalize gambling in the
District were asSailed by the Colum-
bia Association of Baptist Churches
yesterday in a resolution that also
commended United States Attorney
Leslie C. Garnett for his stand against
bingo parties for the benefit OF
churches and fraternal groups.
The resolution adopted at the as
sociation's f1fty-ninth meeting in Fifth
Baptist Church, declared:
THAT we commend hole-heartedly
the position taken by United States
District Attorney Leslie c. Garnett in
upholding the laws Of the District
Of Columbia with respect tG gambling,
regardless of whether the beneflciaries
are churches, fraternal organizations
or others: and be further
Resolved that a copy of this reso-
luton be sent to District Attorney
Garnett with the assurance that the
churches constituting the Columbia
Association of Baptist Churches stand
uncompromisingly for both law OBJ
servance and law enforcement"
Other resolutions vigorously opposed
proposals now prevalen with respect
to the legalizing of gambling in any
form in the District" The "demoral-
izing influence Of irtemperance" also
was condemned, with members Of the
association pledging themselves to do
everything We lawfully and honorably
can to overthrow the legalized liquor
traffic and overcome the deplorable
conditions for which this traffic is
directly responsible"

IS BITTER AS EVER
Two Delegations Still Seem
Likely Outcome of
ParIey Tonight.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

There were no indications today
that local Republicans would adjust
their differences before the State con-
vention takes place tonight to elect
District delegates to go to Cleveland,
as well as national committeeman and
committeewoman.
This means that unless there Is
some unexpected. last-minute change
in the situation the rival factions each
will elect a slate and present the
contest to the committees Of the ma
tional convention for settlement.
The group headed by Edward F.
Colladay, present national committee
man, which walked out of Tuesday S
meeting of the State Committee for
the District, will have preliminary
meeting of its separate organization
at 7:3O o'clock, preceding the gather
ing of the State convention at
o'clock, in the National Republican
Club, Sixteenth street and Rhode
Island avenue northwest.
When the convention meets, spokes-
men for the Colladay group will re-
new the legal objections they raised
Tuesday night at the State committee
meeting. They will contend approx
imately 26 of the delegates at large
are not properly members of the con-
vention. The 43 delegates at large
were chosen by the 43 precinct dele
gates.
The Colladay group also has taken
issue with the unseating of one pre-
cinct delegate and has challenged the
credentials of several other precinct
delegates. These objections to the
roster Of precinct delegates will form
the basis for the challenge against
the validity Of the election Of more
than half Of the deegates at large.
The majority group, presided over
by former District Attorney Leo A
Rover. meeting as State COMMITTEES
Tuesday night, overruled the legsl
points raised by the Colladay forces
and If these rulings are adhered to in
the convention tonight, all indica-
tions are the Colladay supporters
again will meet separately.

Building Available.
NEED FOR PROJECT
CITED BY THOMPSON
New Federal Building in Six
Maryland Towns Is
Proposed.

The construction of research labor
atories at Bethesda, Md. involving an
expenditure of approximately $780,
900 has been proposed by the United
States Public Health Service.
Hearings on the first deficiency bill,
made public today disclosed that $l00-
900 for building already Is available
out of the 1884 emergency program and
an additional 81 1868 900 has been asked
for the project, approved by Assistant
Treasury Secretary Josephine Roche.
The Government last year acquired
by donation of Luke I. Wilson a site
at Bethesda Of As acres of land for the
experimental station Of the National
Institute of Health and bids have been
asked for construction of the animal
house as the initial unit. The Public
Health Service said increased scientific
activities could be carried out at
Bethesda if funds for laboratory con-
struction are authorized.
When the laboratory proposal was
made known last year vigorous protests
came from Montgomery County resi-
dents, including Canon G. Freeland
Peter and Merle Thorpe, editor Of Ma
tons Business, whose property ad-
joins the Wilson tract The county
commissioners and the Bethesda
Chamber of Commerce took up private
objections. with the contention the
project would be detrimental to sur
rounding property. and appealed to the
Maryland National Capital Park and
Planning Commission. The commits
sion was powerless because the land
had become Federal property.
The Public Health Service proposes
to construct one laboratory building
of three stories and basement. one
Office building, a small power house
to provide necessary heating and i'm
provement of roads and walks anc
outside utilities. In addition. two
senior and six junior medical officers
quarters would be erected.
L. r. Thompson, acting surgeon
general, said there was an urgent need
for the additional facilities and re-
quested the Bethesda project be given
priority over others of the Public
Health Service.
Peoples also told the committee
new Federal building or post Office
construction in six Maryland towns
had been proposed to the Treasury
and surveys are being made to de-
termine necessity for the work and
the costs.
They are Baltimore post Office,
Towson branch; Curtis Bay Coast
Guard Building, Ocean City. POGO

which now have Federal buildings

KING ACTS TO PERMIT
FREE SWIMMING POOL
Asks Reconsideration of Bill to
Broaden Authority of
Interior Bureau.

Chairman King of the Senate Dis
trict Committee entered motion in
the Senate today to reconsider the bill
passed Monday broadening the author
ity of the Interior Department to op-
crate swimming pools in the District
by contract.
One purpose of the bill was to allow
the department to have the new pool
at East Potomac Park operated by the
contract operator of the golf course
for the duration of the present con-
tract.
Senator Kings motion has the effect
Of keeping the bill from going to the
House while he gives it further study.
He took this action because he believes
the new pool should be free to the
public.
