AUDITORIUM UNIT
TO MEET FRIDAY
Executive Meeting Called to
Organize and Discuss
Scope Of Work.

An executive meeting to organize
and map out the scope of its work will
be held at 1890 am Friday by the
Capital Auditorium Commission. Gre
ated by Congress two months ago to
consider the need for q large public
assembly hall in the Capital.
The necessity for an auditorium
capable of accommodating the many
important events that take place here
has been recognized and discussed by
officials for many years, but the pres
ent movement is result of the down.
pour of rain which marred the out
door Presidential Inauguration cere-
monies in January.
Thousands of visitors were drenched
either at the Capital, or along the line
Of march. Immediately thereafter,
Senate Majority Leader Robinson in
troduced the Auditorium Commission
bill, and 1t passed promptly.
The commission is instructed to re-
port recommendations to Congress be-
fore the present session ends, and to
estimate the cost Of the project and
how 1t should be carried out The first
step Friday will be to select chairman.
The commission is composed Of
Chairman Connally of the Senate
Public Buildings Committee, and Sen
ator Austin of Vermont, ranking mi
nority member; Chairman Lanham of
the House public buildings group, and
Representative Taylor of Tennessee,
ranking minority member; and Secre-
tary of Interior Ickes.

OPPOSES
US. SPENDING CUT.
Employees Head Calls Drive
for 10 Per Cent Reduc-
tion 'Unsound."

Luther c. Steward, president of
the National Federation Of Federal
Employees, today voiced the first out
spoken opposition to the proposed 10
per cent cut in all appropriation bills
Senator McCarran, Democrat. Of
Nevada wrote the heads of the coun-
try's leading labo, organizations Mon
day, urging them to oppose the move
before it gets a start.
Steward characterized the plan as
"unsound, unfair and uneconomical,"
and called attention to the fate of q
similar scheme in ''the misnamed
economy legislation" of 1882.
In 1882" Steward said, "the So
called economy drive was successful,
but successful only in the sense that
1t was written into law In all other
respects it was failure because it was
unsoundly promised
And the National Federation of
Federal Employees holds that it is in
escapably true that the same kind OF
legislation today would fail just as
badly in achieving the goal sought;
namely, true economy
If 1t is determined that Federal
expenditures must be reduced. let them
be reduced sensiblv and honestly.
LET us not again destroy service
structure and crush morale with the
kind of economic legislation that fails
in its fundamental objective"
In addition to Steward, McCarran's
letter was sent to William Green, pres
ident of the American Federation of
Labor; John L. Lewis, head Of the
c. I. O., and John j. Barrett, head Of
the United National Association of
Post Once Clerks.

Rainfall Less
In d. C.. Than
80 Years Ago
Washington Is Growing
Slightly Dryer, Says
Weather official.

While the Potomac River roared
over its banks, R. T. Zoch of the
Weather Bureau told the American
Meteorological Society today that the
District of Columbia has grown dryer
In the last 80 years.
zoch added, however that the de-
crease in rainfall has not been great
enough to have any real significance
He based his report, he said, on the
average number of storms, the average
number Of hours Of rain or snow and
the total amount OF precipitation in
the 30-year period.
In each of the classifications, he
found. there has been slight decline.
The average number of storms, he
found, was 1876 year. It rained, on
the average 687 hours a year and
there was an average total rainfall of
40.84 inches. It now rains, he found,
nearly two hours year less than it did
80 years ago.

Dogs Depotion to Master
Nearly Stops Flood Rescue

Because Nellie, an 1l-year-old bull
dog thought so much of her master
that she wouldn't get into a rowboat
ahead OF him yesterday William c.
Hobell had his closest CALI in the
II years he has lived on the Potomac
River.
Hobell and his wife live on house
boat on the Virginia side about a
half mile above Key Bridge. Last
Saturday afternoon Hobell noticed
the river was beginning to rise and
he had his wife. Amy. taken ashore.
About noon yesterday Hobell, who had
remained aboard the boat with the
dog. was attempting to fix another
cable beside the three holding the
vessel to the shore.
Claude Hayes, standing on the
shore, was the first to see three large
trees and a part of a house swirling
down the channel toward Hobells
boat.
While his wife and Mrs. Hobell
shouted encouragement, Hayes jumped
into skif already half full of water,
made a line fast to the shore and
started out to save Hobell and the dog
He arrived before the debris struck
the houseboat, tearing it from its moor

KR|EGER-FR00KS
BLACKMA|L CASE
IS SENT TO JURY
Justice Let's Instructs Panel
at Length on Laws
Involved.
EX-TEACHER, LAWYER
ACCUSED OF CONSPIRACY
Woman Buries Head in Arms as
U. S. Attorney Denounces Her
for Dragging In Daughter.

A jury in District Court retired at
pm. today to decide the guilt or
innocence of Mrs Mary Krieger, for.
mer teacher, and Samuel L. Frooks,
New York lawyer, on trial for con-
spiracy to blackmail the late Carroll
Pierce, Alexandria banker. Justice F.
Dickinson Let's, presiding in Grim
NAL Division ! gave the case to the
Jury after instructing members at
length regarding the laws affecting
blackmail and conspiracy.
He told the jury it was at liberty
to render verdict under either or
both counts of an indictment charg-
ing, first, attempted blackmail of the
banker and, second, conspiracy to
commit this crime.
One or both of the defendants NAV
be convicted of blackmail, Justice
Let's pointed out, but both must be
named If the jury finds a conspiracy
existed
Mrs. Krieger, wearing a black straw
hat and black dress, buried her head in
her arms at the counsel table as United
States Attorney Leslie C. Garnett as
sailed her for dragging her innocent
young daughter into this mess" Re-
ferrlng to the appearance Of the
daughter, Rosemary. l4-year-old stu
dent Garnett declared her mother had
left her "a legacy of lust and lechery."
Closing arguments were begun yes
terday afternoon by Assistant United
States Attorney Roger Robb and De-
Tense Counsel John j. McGinnis.
The prosecutor reviled Mrs. Krie-
ger as a blood sucker" who plotted
with Frooks, "a Shiny blackmailer,"
to eXtort $4,000 from Pierce under
the "subterfuge' of threatened suit
alleging breach of contract.
He declared they engaged in a
crooked scheme" to frighten Pierce
into paying the money rather than
have his intimate relations" with
Mrs. krieger exposed in court.
Statement of Robb.
Robb told the jurors they must
decide either that Frooks and Mrs.
Krieger conspired to blackmail Pierce
or that the United States attorneys
Office, the police and the other Gov
eminent witnesses "conspired to OBJ
struct justice by perjury, larceny and
other crimes
McGinnls. attorney for Mrs. Krie-
ger. defended the actions of Mrs.
Krieger and Frooks in seeking to
collect money from Pierce. He de-
ciared the transaction was purely
commercial based on Mrs. Kriegers
claim that Pierce had broken an
agreement TO employ her for life in his
bank
The defense attorney charged
that Pierce's attorney "conspired" with
the district attorney and the police
to prevent Mrs. Krieger and Frooks
from filing legitimate" claim.

known as sun spots, on the face Of
the sun. They recur, on the average,
every rs days, corresponding with. one
full rotation OF the sun. The north
ern lights vary in their intensity with
the intensity of the storm. They
ordinarily are seen only within q
circle OF about 20 degrees around the
geomagnetic pole. which Is located in
Greenland. With very intense
storm this circle shifts southwark and
one instance Is recorded where the
strange display was seen family in
Puerto Rico.
The lights might have been seen in
Washington during the heavy storms
Of 1920, 1921 and 1928, but it is not
known whether anybody observed
them. It will be best, DR.. McNish
says, to look northward from some
hilltop north of Washington in order
to avoid the confusion of the city
lights.
Strange interruptions in radio COM
munication for the last three days
are due to the great magnetic storm.

ings, but several minutes elapsed be-
fore he was able to get in the boat
because Nellie refused to leave before
her master.
Finally at Hayes command and des-
perate pleadings of his wife from the
shore Hobell entered the boat and the
two men cast off. Only then did Nell
lie change her mind She made a
plunge toward the boat, but missed
Reaching over the side to give
Nellie hand. Hobell caused the row.
boat to swerve sideways in the cur
rent and crash against tree. That
was when his closest CALI occurred,
he said
The skiff finally was hauled ashore
and Nellie. powerful swimmer,
struggled in some distance below.
The Hobells recounted the trying
experience in the CHEEKY kitchen Of
the Hayes home. where water today
was tapping a foot below the floor
level. Their houseboat AZ feet long
and containing three rooms. fosted
downstream eff Gravelly Point, where,
Hobell said, it now lies half sunk near
the shore. The same craft was vir-
tually destroyed by the beating 1t took

Northern Lights May Be Visible
To District Residents Tonight

The aurora borealis (northern
lights) may be visible in the skies
north Of Washington tonight.
One Of the three or four big mag
netic storms in the last 100 years is
now raging over the Northern Hemis-
phere. It has been in progress since
Sunday. but the heavy clouds have
made 1t impossible to see the brilliant
display in the northern heavens, which
shift far to the southwark in such q
storm.
A magnetic storm is defined by DR..
A. G. McNish of the Terrestrial
Magnetism Laboratory Of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington, as "a
period Of violent fluctuations in the
earth's magetism." The great mag
netic storm now raging was reported
from the geodetic station Of the Coast
and Geodetic Survey at Cheltenham,
Md. At this station yesterday, the di-
rection Of the compass needle changed
sSfull degree.
Magnetic storms are associated In
some way with violent disturbances,

ARMY'S A|RDROME
|SFAC|NG DELAY
Vacating Boiling Field Must
Await Added Appropria.
tion of $430,OOO.

Despite an appropriation of $746 900
authorized by the House Appropria-
tions Committee for new Boiling
Field, the new Army airdrome prob
ably will not be in condition for fly
ing operations before the end of 1887
or the Summer of 1898, it was learned
today.
The old Boiling Field cannot be
vacated by the Army until an addi-
tional appropriation of S430 900, now
slated to be included in the next
appropriation bill. to become avail
able July /. 1893, becomes available,
1t was indicated.
Specifications Completed.
All specifications for new buildings
to be constructed during the coming
fiscal year have been completed and
construction can begin as soon as
the S746 900 becomes available July l..
These buildings. however, will not
be completed until early in 1898, it
Is estimated.
The funds now being considered
by Congress will provide for con-
struction Of a heating plant, tele-
phone system. hangers, shops and
storage facilities for gasoline and oil
and paint and dope There now are
no technical buildings" at the field,
such as hangers, servicing facilities
or operations headquarters, all Of
which must be provided before regu-
lar flight operations can begin, it
was explained.
$2,669,456 Already Spent.
Regular appropriations totaling
s2,669,456 already have been spent
on the new Boiling Fled. This total
has been brought to more than So
100000 by the ALLEGATION of works
progress funds for construction OF a
sea wall and the grading Of the
landing field. 1t is estimated that
the new Army field when finally
completed will represent an invest
ment of we'll over $5,000,000.
The new airport, however, is to be
one of the most complete Of its kind
in the Army network and will ac-
commodate easily the giant new 20
ton Boeing bombardment airplane
now being completed. This is the
largest airplane now contemplated
for military purposes.
