20 years of virtually unhampered op-

The resort has temporarily sus-
pended operation a number of times

speculation was rife today as to
whether the prospective closing also
would be temporary
1t is believed that the anti-gam-
bling campaign of Prince Georges

to close the gambling house, at least
temporarily.
Bills now pending at Annapolis

bling paraphernalia prima facie evi-
dence of guilt, and provide for the
authorization of search warrants for
police to raid any suspected gam

Naturalist Says Grouse
Is ORIGINAL Fan Dancer

The original bubble and fan"
dancer was not a comely maiden at
the Chicago World Fair, Alfred M.
Bailey, Colorado naturalist, told the
National Geographic Society last
night. 1t was, the speaker said, a
Western Colorado sage grouse, which
. executes one of the strangest rituals
In bird kingdom.
Gathering each spring in the same
open meadow, Mr.. Bailey related, the
male grouse spreads his tail feathers
like fan and distends the glands of
his throat like two balloons AL
though he is picturesque spectacle,
the female grouse does the choosing
when the time comes to select a
mate, the naturalist explained.
Mr.. Bailey also told of Gunnison,
In the center of the Great Salt Lake,
Utah. one of the least visited islands
of the United States. Here the
white pelican builds it's nest and
feeds its young by regurgitating food
brought from the mainland, 25 miles
away. the naturalist said. He
showed motion pictures in natural
colors of bird life on the island.

$4,000 From W. P. A.
Face Deportation
As Public Charges
Officials Soy Number
Under New Law Is
Comparatively Small
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
immigration officials said today
some of the 10000 aliens dropped
from w. P. A. rolls under new relief
legislation would be subject to de-
portation as public charges"
They added, however. the number
would be comparatively small
under provisions of the law calling
for deportation of aliens unable to
provide their own support within
five years after entering this country.
Under that regulation. aliens en-
tering the United States since 1880
have been required to provide as
surance they would not become
dependent on public support.
Requirements that aliens show
evidence of ability to support them
selves before obtaining visas has
kept the list of probable public
charges to minimum officials
said.
Attorneys for the bureau added
that the public charge" provision
applied primarily to those aliens who
become inmates of public institu-
tions. They agreed, however, that if
after being dropped from the ". P.
A, aliens who have been in this
country for less than five years be-
come dependent on charity they
would be subject to deportation.
Bureau officials estimated the .na-
tority of those dropped from the W.
P. A. lists had been in this country
for considerably more than the
specified flve-year period anG in
stead OF facing deportation would
become a relief problem for States,
cities, counties and other non-Fed-
eral governmental agencies.

Business
Continued From First Page)

Finance Committee and several
other Senators already have de-
manded that spending be curtailed
In an effort to promote business re-
covery.
In this connection, the Capitol
awaited President Roosevelt's special
message on relief, to be sent to
Congress early next week. The
President indicated at his press con-
ference yesterday belief that Con-
-gress made a mistake in whiting
s150,000,000 from his January re-
quest for s875 900, 900 for the w. P. A.
He said his original estimates still
held good.
Although the President would not
say whether he would insist on an
additional $l5O,OOO,0OO appropria-
ton in his message, Representative
,Woodrum, Democrat, of Virginia,
and Senator Adams, members of
subcommittees which handle relief
appropriations, predicted the full
el50,0O0,OO0 would be requested.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan. asserted last night that
the best business appeasement"
step the administration could take
would be approval of his measure
to hold oldage pension taxes at the
present level of l per cent each on
employers pay rolls and workers
wages.
Senator Vandenberg said the
present tax bears heavily on little
business, and that scheduled in
crease in 1910 might force the dis
solution of many small enterprises.
Another development bearing on
governmental efforts to encourage
business was an announcement by
Chairman Wheeler of the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee
that he would introduce railroad leg
islation, probably next week, which
would be in accord with a presiden-
tial committees recommendations
Senator Wheeler said his bill
would provide for the regulation of
all types of transportation, including
water carriers. 1t would provide
also, he told reporters, for voluntary
consultations of railroads upon ap-
proval of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and for establishment
of special court to supervise re-
examinations,

REQUEST APPROVAL
IOF SCOUT CAMPSITE

MAYOR TO APPEAR BEFORE
COUNCIL WITH BOY SCOUT
COMMITTEE: GOLF COURSE
LOCATION

Mayor Willard M. Albury will
appear before Council with Key
West Boy Scout Committee at
the next meeting to ask approval
of project for a Boy Scout camp
at the Key West Golf Course.
The project which had been
in contemplation for some time
was brought up by former Area
Supervisor B. Curry Moreno at a
Rotary Club meeting this spring.
The plan then was to clear a site
and build a clubhouse, which
would be community house.
Visiting scouts have been
camping at old Naval Station
grounds when they come here.
Mayor Albury suggested to the
committee that perhaps lumber
could be secured from property
owners who are considering tear
ing down of houses or from the
old railroad cross ties.
A swimming pool which has
been dredged out across from
the Golf Course would also be
used by the scouts.

When Mr.. Hemingway left
Key West two months ago re-
turning from a trip to Cuba, he
said that if a war broke out he
would probably be assigned by a
leading news service as one of
their reporters to cover it.
1t is still possible that Mr..
Hemingway will take the repor-
torial assignment later in the
war. 1t is thought that he is
waiting for the outbreak of &C
tual major hostilities.

SUPPLY GERMANY
PRODUCTION OF OIL AND
COAL HAS NOT BEEN IN
CREASED AT PRESENT
,ns Arreclntea pre.sl

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-THE official
news agency of Nazi Germany
announced yesterday that no large
shipments of oil or coal could :be
expected from Russia in the near
| future. The reason given is that
Russia has not stepped up its pro-
duction yet and that the present
supply is only enough for Russian
consumption. The only product
that can be expected in large
quantities, the news agency stat
ed. was timber. Difficult trans
portation problems were also
blamed for lack of Russian help
at present.
Statement concerning activity
on the Western Front revealed
that German aircraft had shot
down two French and ten British
planes, and that two more English
planes had been brought down
over the North Sea. The state
ment said Germany has lost only
two planes.
Activity in the East was going
ahead according to schedule. War
saw was being turned over to
the Nazi troops as agreed upon
and complete occupation of the
Polish capital would probably
take place today.
