Echoes of the prohibition debate, which shook the Senate on the heels of a demand by Senator Edge (Rep.) of New Jersey, for enactment of a 2.75 per cent beer bill, were heard throughout the Capitol today. The wet bloc in the House announced it would direct an assault upon the Volstead Act and its defects as soon as debate is finished upon the tax bill. Congressman James A. Gall!- van.

The dry ranks, led by Senators Willis (Rep.) of Ohio and Sheppard (Dem.) of Texas, meanwhile chal lenged the wets to bring any and all of their proposals to a vote.

2 POLICE INSPECTOR GRANT DIES AFTER HEART ATTACK AT OFFICE ILLONLY HALF 111 HOUR (Continued from First Page.) Talley, in tfie adjoining room, •ltd fell across the desk. Rushed to Hospital Talley responded just as Frank Smith, a colored messenger from the office of ft&j. Edwin Hesse, chief of police, came in from an ether door. Together, they ran to the aid of the stricskrf official. He was pale and speechless. Talley called for help. Detective Sergeants Edward Kelly and Al bert Scrivener answered and as sisted the inspector out of the of flee. They seated him in a police automobile and rushed him to Emergency Hospital. Hospital surgeons were laboring over Inspector Grant when Drs. James J. Kilroy and Daniel L. Borden, police department phys icians, arrived to join. Calls for Wife Although suffering intense pain, the dying man called constantly for his wife. Mrs. Grant, notified by telephone at her home, entered the hospital about a minute before her husband died, but was detained out side the emergency room. Commissioner Frederick A. Fen ning and Maj. Heme hurried to the hospital as soon as they re ceived word of the inspector’s seri ous illness, but; death outraced them. Many of the detectives were gath ered in the squad room at police headquarters awaiting the morning roll call when word came to them that their chief was dead. The books for the roll call lay on the Inspector’s desk. The news spread rapidly through the District Building and was given 4o all police precinct stations by the central office operators. The _ Shocking suddenness of the death cast a pall of gloom over headquar ters. Routine was abandoned. Men gathered in the offices and in the corridor, ana spoke in hushed voices. Many Express Sorrow. Major Hesse was the first Dis trict official to comment upon the life and service of Inspector Grant, whom he hag known for many years. Other expressions of sorrow followed. At the direction of Mrs. Grant, who bore up bravely under her sud den bereavement, the body: was re moved from the hospital' to Hy seng’s undertaking parlors, 1300 X f street northwest. Inspector Grant’s body will re main at the funeral parlors until the funeral services, which will be held at 2 o’clock, Friday afternoon. Masonic honors will be accorded. Interment will be in Rock Creek Cemetery. Inspector Grant's prominence in police work during the past several years had always caused wide men-, tlon of his name as- a candidate for the superintendency, a goal that hei never attained. Born in Washington, February 1805, Inspector Grant was educated in the local grammar schools, and In his [early youth enlisted in Troop A} Beventh Cavalry, for the Indian campaigns. For five years he fought the Sioux and Crow war riors in the neighborhood of the Big Horn river, and in 1888 was dis charged with the rank of sergeant. Joined Force in 1888 He entered the Police Department here as a private on November 10, 1888, and served at the Second pre cinct until February 28, 1891, when he resigned. Returning a few months later he was assigned to the First precinct as a plain clotnes man under Sergeant Brooke Amos, And. here received his first training In detective work. During his first term as precinct detective, he made some of his most notable cases. Disguised as a tramp, he worked day and night for several weeks, gathering evi dence that resulted in the arrest of A notorious gang of highwaymen. On April 28, 1894, he again re signed from the force, but returned four years later, and in 1905 was promoted to the rank of detective sergeant and assigned to the detec tive bureau. In 1907, he was detailed to the District Attorney’s office to repre sent the police department in all cases, and to make investigations for that office. Popular With Men Upon the death of Inspector Rob ert Boardman, chief of detectives, in 1915, Inspector Grant was ap pointed to the office which he held until bis death. He was given the rank of assistant superintendent of police on July 1, 1924. Inspector Grant was known throughout the country as one of the ablest police executives in the principal .cities. He was popular with his men, although a strict dis ciplinarian. _ He was decorated by Albert, King of the Belgians, for his services during the visit of the royal party to Washington in 1920.

SURVEY OF RADIO ISON By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH A nation-wide radio, survey will be launched at once by the De partment of Commerce, it was.an nounced today. The scope will depend upon whether Congress appropriates $150,000 for a far-reaching study of nautral and man-made inter ference, the strength and range of broadcast signals, the results of super-power and other factors, lack of knowledge of which is pre venting the full enjoyment of radio in the United States. Chaos In Middlewest Initial moves in the survey will be taken before the first of the year in the middlewest, where the operation of hundreds of broad casting stations has precipitated a condition of .'exceptional chaos. A portable radio broadcasting and receiving station, mounted on an automobile truck, will be sent to Detroit. Working out from that headquarters every detail of radio reception in northern Ohio, Mich igan and Indiana will be studied. lAter the motorised radio police department will move to Chicago, to survey the results of broadcast ing -by fifty or more stations throughout the middle west. Waits On Congress If Congress appropriates suffi cient funds an automobile inspector will be placed in every radio district of the country. Experts explained that only by this method can the Government determine scientifically the proper location of broadcasting stations. Also the survey will fix the maximum number of stations which can operate in the country. An embargo on the issuance of broadcasting permits has been established by Secretary of Com merce Hoover. About 560 stations, representing an investment of approximately ,000,000 are now in operation. During the past eighteen months 1,000 stations have surrendered their licenses, but it was under stood today many of them are about to apply for renewals. The latest addition to the high power stations which has taken the air is the plant of the Radio Cor -5 poration of America at Bound Brook, X. J. Government Experimenting The Bound Brook station is oper ating on an experimental license ■with fifty kilowatts power. It is the most powerful station' in this country. The station was erected at a cost of approximately $750,0d0 by the Westinghouse- Com pany for the Radio Corporation and is being operated by' remote con trol from WJZ. Government experts are conduct ing a study of the effect of this high power broadcasting station through district Inspectors and the Bureau of Standards. Experimental operation in simi lar power by WOT, at Schenectady, and KDK, at Pittsburgh, did not develop serious interference with smaller stations, experts said. The Radio Corporation, Westing house and General Electric stations will continue to co-operate with the Government in a series of impor tant experiments which officials be lieve will lead to solution of many radio problems.

I Others would have a big load of misery lifted from their, shoulders if they only had the untisued cloth- I ing which is accumulating in your (garret or closets. j And then there are the myriad j cases which would be greatly re lieved if they had a good, substan tial box of groceries delivered to their doors, or if some GOOD FEL LOW would breeze along and give them a helping hand with this month’s rent, which, due sixteen days ago, is still unpaid.

The GOOD FELLOW Depart- j ment, which has already directed i upward of 700 GOOD FELLOW 3 to homes where they are needed sadly, can send you, too, to some j hovel of a home where you can j help ever so much if you will only look around, j This is the middle of De: *mb?r and it is about this time of month ithat a big army of Uncle Sam’s j Government workers are receiving j i their semi-monthly checks.

The bills were favorably reported to the Senate by the Finance Committee with a unanimous recommneda tion for tehir ratification. Administration leaders were hopeful that the Rumania, Czecho slovakia, Esthonia and Lat via agreements would be ratified before the Senate begins consid eration of the world court. The Italy and Belgium settlements, however, will be carried over into the new year. House leaders sent word they would reject the measures if the Senate passed them first, because of the Constitutional provision calling for revenue bills to origin ate in the House. Because of this conflict, the pacts may provoke an unusual parliamentary tangle and cause an Indefinite delay in final ratification of the settle ments.

SISSON Vice President Cem- Wrltten fee IntewMwud Kewe Service NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—The year of 1826 has been one of great Indus trial and commercial activity, baeed, tor the most part, on sound under lying conditions. liy some respects material progress has been made to ward improving these conditions, while in others the situation inui be come somewhat unbalanced by rea son of over-emphasis along certain lines. The most striking activity has been shown in the building and au tomobile industries. It appears that both these industries will establish new records for output this year. The cotton and woolen textile in dustries have entered upon what ap pears to be a definite recovery from ’.he depression of the last few years. The effect .of two successive large crops of cotton has been to reduce ’.he price of the raw material with oijt a corresponding decline in tex tile prides. A similar tendency* to ward price balance has taken place in woo!. r The general industrial situation is further strengthened by the en hanced buying power of agricultural communities resulting from a second season of good crops and higher *”lsurge industrial output has been balanced by active consumption, with the result that no excessive in ventory accumulation has occurred. Wholesale and retail trade has been maintained' at high levels throughout the'year. The steadiness of commodity prices and the extra ordinary promptness and reliability of railway service have been factors tending to discourage speculative buying of commodities.

FLORY International News Service PARIS, Dec. 16.—The cabinet met today and approved Premier Briand’s choice of Senator Paul Doumer as finance minister to succeed M. Loecheur. Senator Doumer will make a definite reply tonight to M. Bri and’s Invitation. If Senator Doumer accepts it seems certain' that he will have to choose one of two unpopular measures, inflation or increased taxation. It is probable he will be able to secure more reedy support xor inflation than for great in creases in taxation. Although he is certain t* secure the full support of the Senate there are many members of the left group in the chamber who will oppose him. It was this, op position which mads It impossible for Senator Doumer to form a cabinet when invited to do to sev eral weeks ago.
