RIFLED OFFICES IN WASHINGTON AROUSE SENATE Espionage Acts Recall Days When “Investigations” Were Frequent. By Bcripps-Hoteard t espaper AUinnee WASHINGTON. May 16.—Manifestations of espionage in Washington within recent weeks in official life have not been paralleled since the days of the Karding administration. The rifling of Senator Hiram W. Johnson's files of personal letters on two successive nights, together with complaint of three other senators that their offices were entered during the fight upon Judge Parker, has vividly recalled the days when William J. Burns and Gaston Means were part of official life in Washington. Means later took the stand and told a senate committee a frani: story of espionage upon senators as it was practiced in the Harding regime. He admitted that offices were entered and files searched for anything that would “step” a senator whose activities seemed to menace those in power. La Follctte Investigated Senator La Follette, for instance, was investigated Immediately after Introducing his resolution for investigation of the Teapot Dome lease. “You investigated his offices here In the Capitol, did you not?" Means was asked. “1 saw that it was done.” “You investigated Senator La Follette at the instance of whom?” “I investigated him right after he introduced his resolution to investigate Teapot Dome.” “You went through his office, then, for the purpose of ascertaining what information he had relative to the Teapot scandal; is that correct?” “Anything he had where he could be stopped in v.hat he was doing.” “Who gave you orders to do that?” “Soft Pedal” Advised “I got those from Jess Smith and Mr. Underwood .... How it was going to be used I don't know, except this way I would interpret it. If you found something damaging on a man you would quietly get word to him through some of his friends or otherwise that he had better put the soft pedal on the situation. That is the way the information is generally used when you find it.” “In order to deter h ! ' i r om going ahead with his work in the senate?” “Work in the senate or anywhere else, before his constituents, whereever he was, stop him. Use it afterward if he attempted to do anything else.”

CITY REALTORS FAIL TO JOIN PADLOCK PROTEST Local Owners Given Chance to Evict Booze Violating Tenant. Resolution similar to that adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Boards recently at a conference in Chicago, against enforcement of padlocking laws, never has been deemed necessary in Indianapolis, according to officials of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board. The national association went on record as opposed to enforcement of such laws, because, it charged they made snoopers of property owners renting properties. In Indianapolis prohibition agents and prosecutors always have given realtors opportunity to evict the tenant in cases of nuisance by liquor law violations, before attempts were made to padlock the premises, they say.

Colton Crop Damaged B'l Unitrd Prc** DALLAS,-Tex., May 16—Unusual weather which brought torrential rains, high winds and tornadoes to central, east, north and northeast Texas materially have damaged the cotton crop, the Dallas News said today in its weekly crop report.

Test Ice Box on Insulation BY WILLIAM H. BALDWIN Author of "The Shooginc Book" Written for NEA Service SELECTION of a practical ice box will solve the problem of providing adequate refrigeration. How an ice box is insulated is important. In the most primitive type of box. insulation is provided by an air space between the outer and inner shells of th® box. An improvement over this “dead air” type is one in which the space is nlled with granular cork. Even better are fillings of balsam wood and sheet cork. Doors should swing closed from the lightest push and should be equipped with selfclosing catches. A good test is to close the door on a sheet of paper. If you can take the paper out. then the door does not close tightly enough. The lining of the ice box controls and ease with which the chambers can be kept clean. The cheaper grades are lined with corrugated galvanized iron: better grades have baked enamel linings, and the best are lined with porcelainenameled sheet steel. Next—Rags.

Dog Worshippers Tribe First Human Community

But nited Press LONDON. May 16.—The first known community of human beings was a tribe of dog-wor-shippers. Professor Sir William F. Petrie, noted British Egyptologist, declarred in a lecture at London university Thursday night. Relics of the tribe were found during recent excavations at Beth Pelit, Palestine, Sir William said. The relics included numerous small models of dogs, which led to the conclusion that the early humans worshipped the animals. Sir William said the community probably existed 2,000 years before Joshua led the Israelites into Palestine, or approximately 3.400 years before Christ. Discovery of the presence of this tribe helped to understand the Israelites’ movements after the exodus, since they were

Bu United Press LONDON, May 16.—Nine more American women were among several hundred who achieved the highest social distinction in the world Thursday night when they were presented by Mrs. Charles G.

PARK CONTROL SUGGESTED FOR PLAZASTREETS Proposed Use of Surrounding Property Brings Up Suggestion. Relinquishing of control of streets surrounding the Indiana World War Memorial Plaza to the park board so that it may control use of surrounding property was suggested today by Henry Steeg, city plan commission engineer. The question as to jurisdiction over improvements in vicinity of the memorial w r as raised at city hall with the petition of the State Life Insurance Company for permission to build a miniature golf course on the former Shortridge high school

site which has been acquired for a building for the company in the future. City officials expressed themselves as opposed to the use of property across from the plaza because of the nature of the amusement. A parking lot and refreshment stand will be operated in connection with the concession. The site already is zoned for business and the amusement is classed as a business enterprise, making it impossible for the plan commission to interfere. William L. Elder, city controller and War Memorial trustee, voiced oppostion of the memorial board to such use of surrounding property because of the effort to beautify the

vicinity In keeping with the Memorial landscaping. The memorial board has jurisdiction over Surrounding property, according to the state law. E. Kirk McKinney, works board president, held up a petition for cutting driveways in the curb pending an investigation of the project and a legal opinion as to what board has jurisdiction The board of park commissioners vJould have jurisdiction within 500 feet of such streets as were turned over to them by the park board. The park board would have to maintain streets if control was relinquished by the works board.
