The Oriental atmosphere and lavish attentions that the young girl experienced seemed to lure her and hold her in their power. mris SHOPLIFTER Unaware that she was con versing with Policewoman Irene Hubbs, while she skillfully slipped silk lingerie, a silk umbrella, and many toilet articles in a copious shopping bag, Edna Earle Koontz, alias Elsie Lane, of 1223 M St. N. W., suddenly found her self under arrest yesterday after noon in a department store. She pleaded guilty when ar ranged before Judge George H. Macdonald in Police Court today and the case was continued for 1 investigation of the woman’s f record. It was intimated she i would be placed on probation. Out of Work, She Says i When questioned as to her rea son for taking articles that totaled almost SSO in value, she said she had been unemployed and was a lover of the beautiful things that a adorn women of wealth, so she i. could not resist the temptation, s Asked whether she wanted to say anything else in vindication 1 of, her act, she replied: “You f x Y up something nice to tell the pub lie if yon must write about it. I t did not take the things because 1 y was poor, but because I couldn’t help it.” According to Mrs. Hubbs. the v woman was addressing remarks to her in the store while she was en t gaged in the theft. Mrs. Koontz claims to have two children, one 1 of whom lives with her. The other Is with the father somewhere in y Virginia. s j GIVE WlSELY— give well—give i a thought to the Hhop-o-scope before t you give any Christmas presents! rXura to takur'a Classified Section.* RULE MS! P S Complete abolition of aU-nBW periling in the District of Cplunb bia is being seriodrip-co ruddered by Commissioner Frederick A. Fenning. Traffic Director M. O. Eldridge has been requested to consul 4 Corporation Counsel Francis H. Stephens with the view of draft ing a regulation to be submitted to the board of Commissioners. Many Complaints Commissioner Fenning said to day that lie had received numerous complaints from residents of vi cinities where all-night parkers abound and the situation had been called to his attention by visitors from out of town. Suggestions have been made that a time-limit be placed on parking throughout the District between the hours of 1 a. m. and 5 a. m., a regulation which is in force in several other large cities. According to transportation survey made by McClellan and Junkersfield, 18,458 all-night park ers, or 22 per cent of the total automobile population of the Dis trict, were counted on the streets after 2 o'clock in the morning on a given date. Must Provide Garages Although it has been estimated that there are hot enough private garages or spaces in public garages to accommodate all the automobiles in Washington, it is said that pro vision would have to be made im mediately. Commissioner Fenning said that the work of the Police and Fire departments would be greatly lessened by such regulation. He said that highwaymen and burglars often park automobiles around the corners from the scenes of their activities to assure a quick get away. If machines were barred from the streets in the early morn ing unless in the custody of a chauffeur, the Commissioner held that this evil could be remedied. Firemen Hampered The maneuvers of firemen with their apparatus is often hampered by a string of all-night parkers cluttering up the street in front of a burning building, the Commis sioner said. He told of a fire in Mt. Pleasant when it was necessary for the firemen to push automobiles out of the way before efforts could be made to put out the blaze. Opinions from the public are de sired, according to Commissioner Fenning and Director Eldridge. Any written communication giving the views of citizens will get con sideration, they said.

CHIME S i Drastic legislation for the control of crime in the District of Colum bia, as a result of the recent 1 “wave,” will be undertaken in, the B House immediately following the 8 Christmas holidays, it wap indicated today. A thorough investigation of crime t* conditions here by a special sub* committee of the House District t Committee will be asked, e Congressman Thomas L. Blanton y of Texas, at the first meeting of the e House District Committee after the s holidays, will move that the com e mittee reappoint the Rathbone oub r committee of last year. He will ask that the sub-com j mittee be given the power to inves tigate law enforcement, court con a ditions and traffic conditions. [j There now is being prepared for introduction in the House a bill to control the production and sale of revolvers and other deadly ti weapons in the District. The meas i ure will be submitted to the Dis b trict Commissioner for approval f and probably will be introduced as i- a committee bill. 1 The bill, as it is now being y framed, will carry severe penalties 3 for the commission of any crime i by any person carrying a deadly weapon. For the first offenr' the usual r punishment provided for the crime committed will be imposed and in addition the Jail sentence of not less' than five yeara will bp im posed for carrying the weapon. Conviction for a second or third offense will carry a penalty for the crime itself double the uuuaij penalty, together with imprison rnent for fifteen years. Unauthorized carrying of a re volver will constitute evidence of intention to violate the law. The measure provides that no dangerous weapon may be carried upon the person or in an automo bile without permit. Violations are to be punished by imprisonment for a year and confiscation of the weapon. Permitß to carry revolvers will be issued by police court judges with written approval of the eup rtßrfijtendent-pf policy Cases Still Wait for Good Fellows Forty-eight-hours before the “zero hour," Washington, that is, most of it, was today preparing for probably the greatest Yuletide celebration and observance it has ever known. At the end of a year which has been marked for its general prosperity, the majority of humanity hereabouts is ready to pause for a day and say—“ Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men.” And with this pleasant prospect facing probably 95 per cent of all who will read these lines, mention should be made of that other 5 per cent to whom Christmas is notcom ing and will not come unless the 95 per cent make It their personal business to carry Christmas to them. Yes, you have guessed it. This is another charity appeal. This is a repetition of the stuff you havo been reading in the columns of this paper for the last three weeks— but you are about to reeri it for the last time. This is the next to the 1 last GOOD FELLOW appeal this newspaper will be able to make until another year rolls around, and we would like to solemnly, but not condemningly, remind you that the l GOOD FELLOW work isn’t quite 1 completed for this year. Pleas Are Numerous As the gladsome season has i neared, the number of pleas from the poor have practically doubled the volunteers have fallen off a lit tle in comparison, and in that there is still forty-eight hours in which to work—we feel sure that these few remaining destitute families will not be forgotten entirely by those of you who are "all set” for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Now, please, don’t get the idea this is a hold-up for money, because it isn't. You can do this GOOD. FELLOW work by merely dividing the good things you are to have with the chaps—the mothers and children—who have written us as late as last evening that so far there is no sign of Christmas spirit or Christmas festivity within their thresholds. The only reasons these destitute families haven’t been cared for is because they didn’t write until late.

This dictum was laid down to the organization today by Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews, in a general letter to the prohibition administrators of all States. Hotel Case Scored The new instructions to dry agents resulted from the disclosure* in the Mayflower Hotel case here, in which it was revealed that an enforcement agent posed as a mem ber of Congress and lived at the hotel for a month, entertaining lavishly, at the taxpayers* expense, to “get” the maitre d’hotel for selling liquor. Although this agent, B. O. Birg feld, spent .approximately SI,OOO, the jury that tried the hotel officer rendered a prompt acquittal. Andrews charged hie adminis trators to see that there is no re currence of such an episode. His letter of Instruction to ad ministrators follows: v “A recent case was brought td my attention that, I consider a ri diculous and extravagant use of funds in securing evidence in an under-cover investigation, and I take this occasion to bring thin matter to your most serious con sideration. You know that I con sider these under-cover investi gations probably the surest way to break up the bootleg industry and to bring the operators in this in dustry to justice, I have asked Congress for a considerable increase in the appropriations which may bo used for this purpose, but of course I have' assumed, and you must justify my assumption, that this money will be used intelligently and economically, and never used without complete justification. Prosecutor Must Aid “Here again, as in all ths most serious efforts of your office, you should have the guidance of the District Attorney with whom you are working. This Is essential be cause there is no value whatever In your making a case which the District Attorney cannot prosecute successfully. And one element in successful prosecution is to avoid any such conduct as will make pos sible a successful defense of the accused on the basis of ‘entrap ment,’ or, again, the case might easily be lost if the defense were able to- show such expenditure of public funds as to impress ths jury

In the case before me, an Inexperienced agent, in an effort to get evidence to prove that the officers of a hotel corporation were guilty of selling liquor, made ridiculous expenditure of money and spent an absurd amount of time i nthis effort. The trial of the accused resulted in an acquittal The evidence undoubtedly affected the jury as Indicated above. The whole proceeding brought injury to the prohibition enforcement admin istration. It is a distinct departure from my whole theory of law en forcement. Even if the accused had been found guilty and punished we would nave accomplished very, little for law enforcement in having pun ished one distributor when another would have taken his place' prob ably before sentence could be im posed. “How infinitely better to have gone into this case on the basis of discovering the operation by which liquor was brought into the city and delivered to this distributor, and secured evidence by which this source of supply from outside the dty could have been, reached and put out of business.

The expectation Is general in the Capital that Charles E.

Many of these girls have been reported "missing.” None of them, apparently, wanted to return to their homes. The police could find no trace of Julia, however, nor of the young Cl lines© "sheik" with whom she is said to have been In love. Detec tives virtually abandoned hope of finding her alive, and began search ing for the body. Police* fear Julia met the same fate as Elsie Sigel, the society mis sionary. who was murdered in 1909 in Chinatown and whose slayer Is uncaught. The finding of Julia’s body, police fear, would lead to an outbreak of Tong warfare. It was recalled that the discovery of Miss Sigei’s body was the spark that set the Tongs ablaze in a murderous wat sixteen years ago. The police were investigating a tip received from Newark than a Chinese and a girl about 19 weru seen in that city. Hhe came to Newark on a train from New York, according to word from the police of Newark. chilie™ SANTA GLAUS A little girl and boy will mis* their mother very much this Christ mas for she died last year.

So on Christmas day hundreds of little tots, confined in the Childrens Hospital and other institutions who will not have mother with th4m on this day, will receive their present from two Santas no older than themselves. Added to this unexpected gift-will be nearly a hundred pretty doll babies donated by women workers of she United States Veteran*’ Bu reau this year through Stella M. Marks, assistant director to the di rector, for it seems that little How ard and Eugenia Winzeler, of Bryan, Ohio, forgot to ask their papa for dollies. It would never do for kiddiek to peek in the Veterans’ Bureau now, for they would see Something they shouldn’t. Scores of rosy-cheeked, blue-eyed china doll babies are hav ing their golden hair tied with cute little ribbons and darling little dresses are being put on them by women of the buyeau. They will be ready to claim their future mothers on Christmas morn ing looking ever so sweet and just darling enough to kiss. Mrs. Dougherty, who knows how children thrill with a new toy or dolly, because she has been* work ing with them and for them for many years, says that the mother less little Santas are doing a great thing. In away, Howard and Eugenia's papa is also a Santa Claus, because he has a big toy factory all his own in 6hio, where he makes thousands of marvelous animals, automobiles, clioo choo trains, and doll houses for children all over the country'- Howard and his sister often are visitors at their father’s big wonder house, and they say they love all of these funny and pretty painted objects their papa makes.

"Who did you marry?” his sister asked, net believing the assertion. "Nellie.” 1 Then out came the tale. The boy said he had been forced to go to Rockville by Nellie’s father. After the wedding ceremony, he said, he was brought back to Washington and held a captive in his bride’s home until 9 o’clock that night. The sister, Miss Ethel M. Lamp kin, filed the petition for annul ment. in behalf of her brother, yes terday. The petition claims that the boy was a minor at the time of the marriage. “My brother has always been a good boy,” she said today, "and I I don’t know of any reason why she shoqld have been forced to go through r marriage ceremony. But he was persuaded and influenced to go through with It. He hasn’t lived with the girl since then.” Miss Lampkin Indicated that a belief that her parents had left a considerable sum of .money to her self and her brother may have been involved,. but she hesitated to ascribe this motive to the episode- She said that she had raised her brother since he was a little boy, and that he and the girl wera Sure Relief FOR INDIGESTION Hot water Sure Relief DE LL-AN s 25* and 75* Packages Everywhere TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats EISEMAN’S, 7th F V -w. _ yfiy M U y 4’JijH i£hjzM£j!l W6u£\ i v |jH Bfe-ffiflHlabyk...

The circumstances are more favorable than ever as the political parties' continue their nefarious acts.” This t optimistic statement was made today by Jacques Arthuys, head of the “Faisceau,” or French Fascists,, in an interview explain ing the aims of his party. Arthuys refused to comment upon statements that the Fascists are too small in number to bring about' effectual changes in the political situation.. He said: "We would suppress Parliament. The president at the republic would not bother us. Our dictatorship would be only temporary. As soon S we had instilled throughout France the spirit of victory and the spirit of the grandeur of our coun try, our dictatorship would disap pear and a stable government would be established —royalist, republican or imperial—the form doesn't mat ter. "We have to fight against Par liamentarism, the cause of all our troubles. Actually we are gov erned in the name of a party, the cartel of the left. Yesterday It was the block nationals and tomorrow it will be something else, but always the victorious party govern ing against the vanquished warty.’* Arthuys admitted the Fascists hope to bring about revolution. “But we want to be in power to effect that revolution,” continued Arthuys, "not conduct a revolution in order to seize power. "Violence is not a part of cur program. _ But if we cannot avoid it, we will not hesitate before It.” Arthuys admitted they have no “strong man’ f to offer as the savious of France, but they expect such a man to appear at the proper moment. 3

6 WASHINGTON DEBUTANTES DISCOUNT ELLIN MCKAY’S DICTUM AGAINST STAG LINES SOCIETY IS “STEPPIN’ OUT” Dances Divide Interest; Miss Mackay’s Criticism Discoimted By JEAN ELIOT TUDGING from the Christina* J parties, Washington girls do not _subscribe to Miss Ellin Mackay s dictum, published in the New Yorker, that they must frequent cabarets ahd supper clubs In order to escape the stag lines at the more formal parties. There was a stag line which stretched all across the ball room at the dance which Mr. and Mrs. Ham peon Gary gave last evening for their debutante daughter, Miss Helen Gary—and it has been much the same at all thd holiday parties. But the “line” seems usually to be mate up of fine, upstanding youngsters, fresh from college with a sprinkling of diplomats and dis tinguished older men, instead of the somewhat battered rounders of whom Miss Mackay complains. Per haps Washington has something on New York, after all. Two balls stand out among the numerous festivities of last evening —the Gary party at Rauscher's and the dance given by Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Campbell Wallace at their home in Massachusetts Ave. for their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Melville W. Puller Wal lace. While the debutante group predominated at the Gary party, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Wal lace ranged from contemporaries of their own to friends of their son in-law and daughter. Diplomats Guests The house was decorated with Christmas greens, holly, polnsettia, ■milax and ferns. A seated pupper was served at small tables. Among the 200 guests were Ambassador ol Spain and Mme.

THORNBURGH A tacit understandnig has been reached, between officials of the Bank of England and the New York Federal Reserve Bank aimed at further stabilising financial and business interests in both coun tries, it was learned in official cir cles here today. The British-Axnerlcan agreement is said to bear the approval of high Government officials, al though no comment was forthcom ing at the Treasury. Sir Montague Norman; head of the Bank of England, has just ar rived in the United States. Accord ing to Reports here he will confer with New York Federal Reserve Bank officials on plans for strength ening Great Britain’s gold reserve. It was also understood that Nor man is interested in a number of foreign loans That ftr# expected to be floated in United States early next year. The New York Federal reserve re-discount rate has been maintain ed at 3H per cent in the face of 4 per cent rates fixed by every other reserve bank, and the 6 per cent figure recently established in London. With the London rate at 5 per cent American gold will be at tracted there. At the same time the outflow of gold from England, pronounced since that government established a free gold market, will be checked. i High Treasury officials at present see no reason for increasing the rediscount rate in New York to the level set by ths other Federal Reserve banks. The considerable margin between the New York and London rate will have a tendency to drain pos sibly more than $100,000,000 in gold from the United States during the next twelve moriths. HEMS TO SEE MOTE Tonight will be a Mg evening for the carriers and newsboys of The Washington Times when Black stone, the magician, {will be host to the newsies at his regular perform ance /at the Washington Audi torium. Besides his regular program of fifty-two feats of magic, the ma gician will offer a number of spe cial new illusions designed to in terest his little guests, Including the special Christmas week trick of creating a real live Santa Claus, who will pass through the audience and distribute toys and other gifts. Blackstone is a former newsboy and in every city which he has vis ited has given special performances with the enterprising little sales men of the newspapers as his guests. Another special stunt devised to find the brightest and most alert 'eyes of the newsboys will be a rope-tying contest, In which the newsies will be invited upon the stage and allowed to bind the ma gician hand and foot with the stoutest rope. He guarantees to escape from the manacles before the audience and without any of those binding him discovering how the trick is done. Inspires Heir Jm ML...

BUETO TO HOOE 40-fODT TREE Have you seen a Christmas tree forty feet tall? Well, whether you have or not, there’ll be an opportunity for you to see one tomorrow morning in the lobby of the Rialto Theater on Ninth St., between G and H—that is, if you are a poor little boy or girl of Washington or vicinity and are not likely to have any Yule tree of your own. For at 9 o’clock tomorrow morn ing there will be a big Christmas celebration and festltyal at the pop ular Ninth, street moving picture house which is going to hold ‘‘open house” for the destitute children of the National Capital. Manager Fred Sarr said this morning that he will be greatly disappointed if any child in Wash ington or near Washington who or dinarily to unable to see moving pictures, with Santa Claus and a Christmas tree and candy and toys thrown in, fails to appear at the theater as his guest and the v guest of the Universal Pictures Corpora tion as well as The Washington Times Good Fellow Department. Besides Old Kris Krlngle to greet the tots of Washington and to give them gifts, there will be a special showing of the Rialto feature this week—“ The Keeper of the Bees" by Gene Stratton-Porter, a Buster Brown and Mary Jane comedy, a Krazy Kat reel, and a special Christmas film that has been sent here especially for the children. And, good readers, if you are not a poor kid yourself, be sure to collect a gang of poor kids m your automobile and take them to the Rialto for this Christmas party and then take them back home to their mothers. And if you can, gst the mother to go along. This will be an excellent contribution on your part toe the Gqod Fellow work, for it is urged that every deserving boy or girl in this city be present. r—■pivi Kann’s Last-Minute m 4 Suggesting Gifts to Purchase Quickly Kann’s Will Be Open Saturday, December 26th
