A flaw in one of the sounding balloons released Saturday from Lambert-St. Louis Flying Field caused it to fall in a field 12 miles southwest of Terre Haute after it had drifted more than 180 miles in three hours. Herbert Frederick, a farmer's boy, expressed the instruments, parachute, and punctured balloon, to the local office of the Weather Bureau. He also wrote a note stat- ing: “I am a lucky boy because Sat- urday morning I saw the parachute fall in a field as I was out walking with my father. Next day I hunt- ed for it until I found it.” Fredericks will receive the $5 re- ward offered for the return of the meteorological instruments. The three other sets of instruments have not been reported . The balioon he found left Lambert Field at 7 a m., three hours be- fore the time he reported seeing it fall, LINDBERGHS IN ST.

By the Associated Press. BERLIN, Dec. 31. — Approx- imately 2,000,000 persons, of whom public relief, are without work in Germany. This represents an in- crease of about 900,000 over the figure at the beginning of 1929. The reasons given for this large total are the concentration of in- dustry. the bankruptcy of numer. ous firms and the difficulty of finding work for the rising gen- eration.

J1.— An airplane used in scoutixg for whales by the whaler Kosmos has disappeared near the edge of the ice pack and no trace of it has been found since Christ- 1 ree day. it was flown by Lief Lier. a pilot well known in Nor- way, who had with him as passen- ger, Dr. Ingvald-Shreiner, the ship’s doctor and the son of a phy- sician in 0810. The search for the missing men is being continued by the Kosmos, although after five days of desper- ate effort, in which the entire ice pack was penetrated deeply be- tween Scott Isiand and the Bal- leny Island. there is little hope that they will be found. What happened to them must have come so suddenly that Lier had no opportunity to make a safe landing on the ice or in a sheltered ice bay. The loss of the two young men spoiled the Christmas season for the whalers. Used Plane to Find Whaits, The Kosmos, which is command- ed by Capt. Andresen. is the larg- est of the Norwegian Whalers a | 22,000-tob ship built especially tor this work. it is really a floating factory for the rendering of biub- ber from the whales brought along- side by the small chasers. It had been thought in recent years that an airplane would be of value in spotting whales, and Admiral Byrd’s expedition, coming through last year, apparently did much to hasten the experiment. A light two-seater airplane, a Gypsy Moth, with a 100-horsepower Cyrrus engine, was fitted with pon- toons and Leif Lier was engaged as pilot. Lier had p.omised to fly over to see us if the Kosmos got near enough and the day before Christ- mas he seat up a Christmas mes- sage. So everyone feels as deeply about his disappearance as though he had been a member of this ex- pedition. We all knew what he was up against. Lier had made several good flights from the Kosmos in his small plane and its use had been completely successful in whaling. On one day he ‘lew in ail about 700 miles. a On the Wrong Side of the Date Line On the day he disappeared, whal- ing operations had been resumed after the Christma: festivities. The whalers are on the other side of the date line from us. so that our Christmas was Dec. 76 for them. He started out about 6 o’clock in the evening, the summer sun high in a clear sky, and with feel for from five to six bours. His or- ders were to inspect the ice pack edge to the west o. the Kosmos. The three big whalers north of the Lack were strung out west of Scott Island. The C. A.

LAHORE, India, Dec. 31.—A resolution introduced by Mahatma % Gandhi, Nationalist leader. deciar- ing that the All-India Congress creed shall in the future mean complete independence, was adopt- ed by the Congress by an over- whelming majority today. } The resolution authorized the Congress Committee, whenever it deems the moment fit. to launch a program of civil disobedience. This phrase embraces nonpayment of taxes and similar measures of re- sistance to British rule. Carte blanche was given the committee in fixing the conditions under which the campaign shall be con- ducted. The resolution also called upon Nationalist members of central provincial legislatures to resign from those bodies and proclaimed a general boycott of such assem- blies. Bars Round Table. Tt_is stated, too. that no good pur- pose could be served by being rep- resented at the proposed round table conference in London. That gathering is to be called to dis- cuss Constitutional reform for In- dia in the light of the coming Simon Commission report and the relations between the native states and British India. The Congress held that such a discussion would be futile in view of India's need for complete independence. The only thing approaching an olive branch in the resolution was a paragraph appreciating the ef- forts of Lord Irwin, Viceroy of India, to effect a peaceful sei- tlement of the governmental prob- lem, Just before adopting the resolu- tion, the Congress voted down amendments proposed by Subash Bose and Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya. The former called for complete severance of all contec- tion with Great Britain, with im- mediate establishment of a Na- tionalist Government. The second proposed just the opposite, post- ponement of all action. Each was defeated without division. Congress earlier today adopted, by a vote of 942 to 792, the resolu- tion of Gandhi, condemning the re- cent bomb outrage against Viceroy Lord Irwin and congratulating him and his party on their escape from harm. The vote followed an hour and a halt of discussion. Reds Make Demonstration. Whee Delegate Ansari, in sec- onding the resolution, declared that freedom never was won by such outrages as the bombing, students in the inclosure waved red flags and s outed protests. Ansari retort- ed that even communists did not believe in indjvidual violence but only mass violence. 2 Swami Govindan and Dr. Alam Gurdit Singh, prominent Indians, opposed the resolution.

a nahh 219 Companies Underwrit- ing Fire, Hail and Storm Ride File New Schedule N for Missouri. ATTORNEY-GENERAL T0 FIGHT PROPOSAL Boost Asked for Despite Order to Reduce Policy Charges 10 Per Cent After Seven-Year Fight. By BOYD. F. CARROLL, Jefferson City Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Dec. 31. — Stock fire insurance companies op- erating in Missouri, which fast Au- gust put into effect, under protest, 4 10 per cent reduction in insur- ance rates, in litigation since it was ordered by the State in 1922, changed their tactics with the fil- iu of a new rate schedule with the State Insurance Department yester- day, carrying an increase of 16 2-3 per cent, or one-sixth, over the present rates. The schedule proposed by the companiés would mean an increase in premium payments by Missouri policyholders, on fire, lightning and hail and windstorm insurance, of approximately $3,500400 a year, insurance department rate experts estimated. This move, which came as 4 sur- prise to the State Insurance De- partment, is interpreted by depart- ment officials to mean abandon. ment by the companies of their re- cent policy of submission, under protest, to the rate reduction order by the State, and renewal by them of the fight over insurance rates which has been carried on in the State and Federal Courts for sev- en years. In this move the com- panies will be on the offensive in- stead of the defensive. A counter-offensive by the State, however, was indicated today by Attorney-General Stratton Shartel, who pointed out that opening of the case by the application for an in- crease would give the State an op- portunity to order a further de- crease, if that were justified. His department, he said. wfll not merely oppose the application. In the voluminous matter presented, he explained, there had been no opportunity to analyze the conten- tions of the insurance companies, but he declared that, if evidence calling for a further reduction were brought out in further hear- ings, the State would press for the reduction. Filed for 219 Companies. The new schedule was filed on behalf of 219 stock fire insurance companies now. in the State, by the Missouri Inspection Bureau, with offices in St. Louis, which is the central rating organization for the stock fire insurance companies in this State. | The companies propose to put the new rates into effect Feb. 1. Such rate schedules, however, do not become effective until approved by the insurance department, Su- perintendent Thompson said. Thompson said the first step by his department would be to order a hearing and investigation of the rates. Thompson said the filing of the rate increase had been such a sur- prise that he did not care to com- ment on the move until he had an opportunity to analyze the sched- ule. “It looks as if we were in for another long rate fight,” Thompson said, The only explanation offered by the companies for the new sched- ule, Thompson said, was the asser- tion that they were losing under the reduced rates. This is the same plea offered in their long fight against the 10 per cent reduce! ; tion order, a plea that was denied by former Insurance Superintend- ent Hyde. It is the plea that was overruled by the Missouri Supreme Court when it sustained Hyde's or- der. Companies Lost All Points. The companies have lost on vir- tually every point in the litigation so far, first in the state courts and later in the Federal courts. One case arising out of the rate reduction now is pending in the United States Supreme Court, and ig set by the court in the week be- ginning Jan. 13. It involves an ap- peal by 114 companies from a rule ing of the Federal District Court in Kansas City last April, denying these companies an injunction against enforcement of the reduc- tion order, The rate schedules were brought here late yesterday by Paul W. Terry, one of the two managers of the Missouri Inspection Bureau. Thompson did not discuss the sohedules with Terry after the lat- ter piled them on the superintend- ent’s desk with the remark, “We have a rate matter here for you.” Accompanying the formal rate! achedule were voluminous tables summarizing the operating experi- ence of each of the companies for the five-year period from 1924 to 1928. inclusive. These tables were effcred to support the contention of the companies that they could fees Maer 3, . ge 3 te Pee A not operate profitably under the reduced rates. : : $19,003,659 Loss Alleged. A table was included summariz- ing the combined experience of the companies for the five-year period. which, as prepared, showed losses under the former rates, and still heavier Isses with the 10 per cent reductions applied to the five-year operating experience. One column showed that losses and expenses exceeded premiums by $19,093,659 for the five-year period, under the former rates, considering premiums earned and losses incurred. The losses and ex- penses exceeded premiums by 310, 763,063, according to another com- Dilation. Applying the 10 per cent reduca- tion to the five years’ business, ac- cording to the table, the losses and expenses exceeded premiums by $23,295,381. Rate experts of the insurance departments have not had time to study the new table and Thomp- son said he would not comment on them until an analysis was eom- pleted. Accounting methods of the de- partment and the companies vary as to the computing of profits. In the rate reduction case Hyde con- tended the companies had madé a net profit of $18,018,075 in the five- year period, 1917-1921, while the companies contended that in the same period they had lost $7,010,- 200, The companies in that case con- tended unearned premiums, repre- senting premiums already paid on that part of the life of the policy yet to run should not be consid- ered. They asserted profits should be determined by subtracting pol- icy losses and expenses from earned prenitums only, being the part of the premium for the period the policy already has been in force, Department's Contention. The insurance department con- tended profits should be deter. mined by subtracting losses and ex- penses from all premiums collect- ed, including so-called unearned premiums, and was sustained in that position by the Missouri Su- preme Court. The court pointed out that under the theory of the companies they owned the un- earned premiums for investment purposés, but did not own them for the purpose of accounting for underwriting earnings. The increased rate schedule was filed to replace one submitted last Aug. 9, in which they put the 10 pen cent reduction into effect and agreed to refund the excess of 10 178 dent 2 back to Feb. 1, 1 Filing ot this schedule followed an Unsuccessful attempt dy the companies to persuade Gov. Caul- field to agree to a compromise on refunding of the 812,000,000 to $15,000,000 in excess premiums col. lected during the years of litigation since Hyde issued the reduction order in November, 1922. Under the compromise proposed the com- panies would have been relieved of refunding about $8,000,000 or more of these excess premiums. Caulfield R | Caulfield refused to compromise, stating the companies had shown bad faith and had violated their pledges in vafioug moves in the prolonged litigation. He said the principal issue was sustaining the power of the State to regulate rates and that this power should not rest on concessions and compromises. The companies have been mak- ing refunds of the 10 per cent ex- cess’ premiums collected site Feb, 1, 1928, but have been contesting their liability for any refunds of | premiums for the period No- vember, 1922, to Feb. 1, 19 field and Thompson have the Insurance Departm carry suits to the high@s to compel repayment by an com- panies that are liable for refunds. 35 Blank Checks Stolen. “Officers of the Guidicy & Tile Co. $761 Biler street, ro- ported to poliée that $6 blank checks were stolen from their of- Hees Sunday.

The street intersection and up. an approach to a trestle over | the Wabash tracks. STREET CAR TRAILER DERAILED ON TRESTLE Three Negro Women Passen- gers Hurt in Accident on Wabash Viaduct. The rear end of a westbound University street car trailer was left overhanging a trestle after an unusual derailment at De Baliviere and Pershing avenues shortly be- fore No'clock this morning. Three Negro women passengers on the trailer were injured. Westbound traffic was delayed. The accident occurred after the trailer and front car had mude a stop at the northeast corner of Pershing and De Baliviere. The front wheels of the trailer, as well as those of the front car, went ahead in the westbonnd tracks, but the rear trailer truck, striking a “frog,” jumped the track and swerved slightly to the north, The motorman noticed nothing wrong as the wayward wheels rolled over thé smooth pavement, but’ there Was a distinct scraping as the trailer climbed a concrete and dirt embankment approaching the wooden trestle above the Wabash tracks. With the brakes applied, the trailer was stopped just as the front end passed onto the trestle and the rear end slid out over space, seven feet above the ground. About one-third of the right hand side of the trailer overhung the trestle, at an angle. Piling had to be erected under the car in or- der to jack it back to the right-of- way. Bastbound University car service was not interrupted, but westbound cars were rerouted for two hours through that district over the Delmar line. Most of the passengers on the two-car train were Negroes going to work in West End homes. The only passengers on the trailer were the ‘ollowing, treated at City Hos- pital No. 2 for injuries to the spine and back: Mrs. Clara Singleton, 4133 Fairfax avenue; Mrs. Dora Williams, 2609 Nort) Leffingwell avenue, and Mrs. Maggie Turner, 4062 Finney avenue. The passengers and the conduc- tor, who was not injured, left the trailer through the door, reaching the ground by means of a ladder obtained nearby. It was the second derailment this year at the trestle. TWO ADMIT PART IN FIGHT IN WHICH MAN WAS KILLED Confessions that they were im- Plicated in the death of Frank Kiersch, 24-year-old laborer, who was found beaten to death in an East St. Louls home-brew estab- lishment yesterday, were obtained by East St. Louis policé today from Frank Stobaugh, proprietor of the place, and his brother-in- law, William Sharpe, an automod- bile painter. BStobaugh told police Kiersch took $19 from him and drove him out of his beer flat at 1802 Divi- sion avenue, Sunday night. He said he returned with Sharpe, who lives at 1802 leveland” avenue, Past St. Louis, and fought with Kiersch again, knocking hini to the floor, where his head struck the corner ot an overturned table.

When they returned, they came back in parallel lines far apart and sweep. ing the entire sea area for a long distance from the edge of the pack. It is not thought that Lier made a mistake in his course, as the sun was visible all night and he could have followed the edge of the pack. The pilots here are more in- clined to believe that due to engine failure he spun into the pack or the water. The sea was fairly smooth at first but after the second day the sea rose and it became toggy. The weather cleared again in a short time. After the first hunt there was a conference of the captains on the Kosmos and there seemed very little hope from the way the search had been carried out that the plane could be found. The Kosmos chas- erS are still searching, however, penetrating the pack, which now seems to be breaking up. Byrd Offers Aid. Admiral Byrd was much 4 cerned when he heard of the inis- hap to the flyers and sent word to Capt. Andresen that he wished it were in his power te do some- thing to help. He did give them an idea of the fast drift of a sea- plane, but from the extent of the search already made it is certain that the plane could not have drifted beyond the distance reached by the whalers. He also offered to send down the bark City of New York to search if she would be of ussist- ance. It would have been impos- sible to fly from here to aid in the search, for there are no pon- toons for our planes and the dis- tance to the northern edge of the ice pack is more than 800 miles, farther than to the pole itself. The possibility of such help was immediately dismissed by the whalers as too. hazardous, and Andresen in à radio message to Admiral Byrd yesterday said: “The risk of even the plane fly- ing up here from your base would be a great one in view of the un- certain weather experienced out- side the pack, there being many days of fog at this time of year. I thank you for your generous of- fer of help in our time of trouble and know that you | are with us.“ EMPLOYMENT AT AUTO PLANTS Statements on Situation Made to Detroit City Council, DETROIT, Mich. Dec. 31. Statements on the employment sit- uation in the motor ihdustry, gen- erally accepted as a major prob- lem. were made by several leaders who met with the City Council's Employment Committee yesterday afternoon. Arnold J. Miller, employment manager of the Ford Motor Co., said: “The Ford Motor Co: is em- ploying about 92.000 men, 75 per cent of whom are working stead- ily.

THREE ARRESTED IN NARCOTIC PLOT One of These Had Collee , By Leased Wire From the Neu York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—Police, the Bronx grand jury, the Federal Government and the Bar Associa- tion united yesterday in swift ac- tion to unravel charges of murder, banditry, narcotic peddling and ot ficial misconduct clustering around the dinner given to Magistrate Al- bert H. Vitale on Dec. 7. A collection of telephone num- bers, gathered by a man indicted for narcotic peddling, showed the names of a magistrate, an assem- blyman, an alderman, two district leaders, one of whom is a deputy commissioner of markets, and a big labor leader listed with names cited by United States Attorney Tuttle as those of “men prominent in the murder gang, the dope gang and other rackets.” Police Commissioner Whalen made public a letter that added a new wonder to th* sensations al- ready produced by the dinner at- tended by Magistrate Vitale, seven men with police records, two court attendants, a police detective, and a group of Italian business men. It was a friendly, chummy letter, and was addressed to the home of John Savino, arrested for com- plicity in the holdup, which may have been a robbery but which the police say was a frame-up to get back a contract calling for the murder of Frankie Yale and Frankie Marlow. killed last year.

The Bronx grand jury yesterday indicted seven men for the hoid- up of Dec. 7. One of them was Joe Bravate, who told about the dinner. He is the only one of the seven now under arrest. Meanwhile United States Attor- ney Tuttle came into the affair with a list of telephone numbers, One of the names was that of Al Vitale. It was on the same list with such picturesque monickers as “Blackie,” Big John,” “Willie- Willie,” “Dago Frank” and Jack Diamond.” Alderman on List. On the list there appears the name of “Alderman McGill" ag liv- ing at 2033 Madison avenue. The official directory of New York City Aldermen lists Alderman Charles J. McGillick at that ad- dress. Below “Al Vitale’s” name comes those of “Jimmy Hinnes“ of the Club Monument, Tammany leader of the Eleventh Assembly district. At the investigation of activities of Larry Fay, the Milk Czar.“ direct testimony stated, that Fay often turned to Hines for information and advice, The other district leader’s name appearing on United States list is the same as that of Clarence H.

N Four Indictments Voted: The telephone list was made public when four indictments were voted yesterday afternoon by the Federal grand jury as a result of the arrest of members of three al- leged narcotic rings. One of the men indicted is Louis Saccaroma, who has a.considerable police rec- ord. United States Attorney Tuttle said he found the telephone num- bers on a list marked “Numbers frequently calfed” in a bag in Sac- caroma’s home. The bag also con- tained a police shield resembling the shields used by Police Commis- sioner Enright’s old special service squad. Tuttle issued a statement in which he gaid, in part: “Among the entries on these cards are the names of well known gunmen and the names of men prominent in the murder gang, the dope gang and other rackets, There are also the names of persons) in another class. Magistrate Vitale broke his long silence about the dinner of Dec. 7 to say that he had some knowl- edge of Saccaroma but that he certainly had never received a tele- phone call from him and was at a loss to know why his telephone number should be on the list. Bar Association Inquiry. The Magistrate made this state- ment after he had appeared be- fore the Bronx grand jury. He re- fused to discuss the matter because his conduct is now the subject of an investigation by a sub-commit- tee of the Committee on Criminal Court and Procedure of the Bar Association. John McKin Minton Jr., member of the sub-committee. announced that Magistrate Vitale would be invited to appear before him and his associates on Jan. 8. Magistrate Vitale offered to sign a waiver of immunity before he was asked to do so, and he signed it just before he went before the grand jury. Acting under direct orders from Commissioner Whalen, detectives arrested three of the guests at the Vitale dinner. They were three of the seven men whom the Commis- sioner has named as having been at the affair. The arrested men gave their names as Daniel J.

Deputy Prohibition Administra- tor Dillon and his 15 Federal pro- : hibition agents, whose territory is the eastern half of Missouri, will ve concentrated in St. Louis. In- stead of traveling in groups from one establishment to another, as has been the practice on New Year's eve in the past, one of the agents will be stationed at each of ig places for the duration of the celebration. Dillon is not an- nouneing what establishments he will choose to watch out of the scores to be open, but he said his force would be at the centers where the largest celebrations are anticipated. Dillon says the agents will ar- rest any one they see holding a bottle thought to contain liquor or at whose table à bottle is ob- served, on the theory that they will not tolerate public flaunting ofthe law. Successful presecution of offenders will be another ques- ‘ tion, since it is almost impossible to establish ownership of a bottle found on a table and a “possession” charge against a person holding a bottle must be bolstered by proof that he is in “dominion and con- trol” of it as well as custody. There have been few New Year's eve liquor prosecutions here in the past. No effort will be made to stop the service of ice, glasses and Soda. “We expect the police to aid us ff if needed,” said Dillon. “If they don't and the crowds get obstrep- erous I expect to see my men tossed out in the snow, snowing. In previous years the visits of my agents were considered a feature of the funmaking.

MISS ELIZABETH HAYS. QUAIL SEIZED IN HOTEL, WARRANT FOR STEWARD 80 Birds Found in Basement Ice Box at Jefferson by State Wardens. A warrant charging illegal pos- session of game birds was issued today against L. G. Fisher, steward of Hotel Jefferson, after the find- ing of a suitcase containing 80 quail in a refrigerator in the base- ment of the hotel by State Game Wardens yesterday. District Game Warden Franken- stein and Deputy D. M. Wright said that during their regular inspection they found a locked suitcase in the ice box. When they were unable to find a key for it or to learn the name of its owner, they said, they raised the lid at one end and ex- tracted the gqnail, 57 of which were dressed. Lyman T. Hay, manager of the hotel, said no one connected with the hotel knew what the suitcase contained until the Wardens dis- covered the quail. He said that a man had received permission Sun- day night from the night man on duty in the steward’s department to leave the suitcase in the re- frigerator “until tomorrow morn- ing.“ 0 The man never returned to get it,” Hay said, and we don't know who he is. We are merely inno- cent bystanders and shall defend any charge that may be brought on the ground that we were not aware of the contents of the package. “Guests and others often leave packages in our refrigerators with- out specifying the exact nature of their contents and we do not nec- essarily open them to find out.” Conviction of a violation of Sec- tion 5635 of the State game law, under which the warrant was is- sued, carries a fine of not less than $50 or more than $10, plus a pen- alty of $5 for each bird confis- cated. The wardens said the quail would be kept in storage until they had been offered as evidence, and then distributed to charity insti- tutions. DECREASE OF 39 IN CORONER'S CASES; 1822 YEAR'S TOTAL Automobile Fatalities Drop From 208 to 172; Homicides Also Dectine. A “wonderful decrease” was noted by Coroner Dever today in his annual report from 1861 cases handled by his department in 1928 to 1822 in 1929. The office deals with deaths by violence or with- out medical attention. Automobile deaths declined from 208 last year to 173 this year, a decrease of 36. This year 29 children of 15 years or younger were killed by automobiles, as compared to 35 last year, a de- crease of six. Homicides of white persons de- creased 31, from 99 last year to 68 this year; of Negroes, from 67 last year to 64 this year. Deaths in industrial accidents fell from 37 last year to 22 thic year, a de- crease of 15 which the Coroner emphasized as showing that very diligent work in safety was done in our manufacturing plants.“ STATE BONE DRY PROSECUTIONS CUT BY HALF IN ST. LOUIS Attorney Schweitzer Compares Last Half of 1929 With Same Period of 1928. Prosecutions under the State bone dry law in St. Louis during the last half of 1929 were only about half so numerous as in the same period of 1928, according to the report of Prosecuting Attorney Schweitzer. Fewer warrants were igsued because of Supreme Court decisions which limited the powers of police in making searches, he said. Schweitzer’s office obtained 61 convictions for liquor vidlations and 35. efendants were dis- charged. ne cases were dis- missed without prosecutfion, three were nolle prossed and one was observe New | dismissed on payment of costs, FOUNDER'S DAUGHTER HEADS BROKERS FIRM Elizabeth Hays, Unable to Rep- resent Coneern on Exchange, Is Elected President. Miss Elizabeth Hays, who saw no reason why she should refrain from entering her father’s busi- ness, just because she was a daugh- ter instead of a son, has been elected president of Little & Hays Investment Co., founded almost 50 years ago, by her father and the late William C. Little. Secretary of the concern for the last eight years, Miss Hays was elected president at a stockholders’ meeting Dec. 2. However, this did not become public until yesterday, when Miss Hays’ brother-in-law, Forrest C. Donnell, an attorney, was elected a member of the St. Louis Stock Exchange, as secretary of Little & Hays. Miss Hays had tried to be elect- ed herseli, but members of the exchange, although they admitted there was nothing in the constitu- tion or by-laws prohibiting it, said they did not want to establish the precedent of electing a woman to membership. They explained that no woman ever had been elected to membership in any stock ex- change. “I did want to be a member,” Miss Hays said today, “but what could 1 do? All the brokers and banks, particularly the ban ks, made a special point to encourage me when I said I was going to carry on my father's business. But they couldn’t bring them- selves to approve of a woman on the exchange. “However, Mr. Donnell's elec- tion will give the firm the trad- ing privileges we needed. Other than the secretaryship, Mr. Don- nell will have no active connec- tion with the company. He will continue to practice law and I will continue to run this busi- ness.“ Miss Hays started work as sec- retary of the company eight years ago. When her father, the late Frank P. Hays, euffered a paralytic stroke five years ago, she took over his duties as president in addition to her own. She ran the office in the LaSalle Building, advised cus- tomers, signed agrec ments to enter syndicates underwriting stock and bond issues, and occasionally un- derwrote issucs herself. Then, last August, her father died. Most of the stock of the company was held by Miss Hays and her mother, with whom she resides at 5065 Waterman avenue. BIDS ON CITY AIRPORT SEWERS Following the recommendation of W. W. Horner, chief engineer of Streets and sewers, the Board of Public Service today set Feb. 4 as the date to receive bids on con- Struction of two sewer projects along the Cold Water Creek diver- sion channel At the Municipal Air- port. The plan provides for two drain- age systems, one for sanitary pur- poses and the other for both sani- tary and storm water disposal. Their completion. expected by spring, will complete a $300,000 improvement program at the flying field, including construction of three 1500-foot runways. - Fairbanks and Meets Can- — adians. | By the Associated Press NOME, Alaska, Dec. 31. — A gale out of the North, bringing with it bitter cold, low visibility and long periods of darkness, to- day confronted flyers engaged in the search for Pilot Carl Ben Eiel- son and his mechanic, Earl Bor- land. Reports that the fur trading ship Nanuk was nning short of food supplies added to worries of rescue workers here. The Nanuk is ice-bound in the Arctic Ocean 500 miles northwest of here, with 11 persons aboard, including a 17- year-old girl, Marion Swenson, Capt. Olaf Swenson, her father, who is owner of the vessel, and two American pilots, Joe Crosson and Harold Gillam. Crosson ra- dioed last night that he and Gil. lam had not been able to take off from the ship to search for Eiel- son and Borland since the day be- fore Christmas. The gale reached a velocity of 56 miles an hour here last night and the cold. striking the narrow water channel leading from the ice- covered Arctic Ocean to the Pacific, caused haze to rise like a smoke screen between here and the Siberian Coast, over which Eielson was flying his plane when he was last seen. The Nome landing field was pre- pared for the arrival of the five Canadian airmen and Matt Nie- menen, Alaskan pilot, who will guide them here from Fairbanks in their three large cabin planes, but it is impossible for thern to at- tempt the flight of more than 400 miles while the present stormy weather continues. From Nome the Canadians expect to kfiy to North Cape. Siberia, to participate in the search. Niemenen joined the Canadians in Fairbanks lata yesterday, mak- ing the 200-mile flight from An- chorage in an open cockpit plane despite the cold, which reached 60 degrees below zero. While the stormy weather of the last few days has all but oblit- erated hope that Eielson or Bor- land may be found alive, many Alaskans are recalling the success- Hubert Wilkins made two yeurs ago north of Point Barrow for their lives. Attempting a flight over the pole, they were forced down 500 miles north of the last land. With four fingers frozen, Eielson man- aged to get the plane in the air again. After two more forced land- ings they ran out of fuel 80 miles from land and made their way afoot back to civilization. $10 FROM CANADIAN TO FUND FOR DOG TORTURER’S ARREST Total Is Now $2651; No New Clews Found by Police or Hu- mane Society. Rewards for the arrest of the person who sewed the mouth of a small dog totaled $2651 today as pledges continued to come in at the office of the Humane Society of Missouri, a week after the tortured animal was found and killed in a North Side alley. The reward became an interna- tional fund today with the receipt of a letter from an insurance man in Calgara, Canada, pledging $19. Previous subscriptions have come from California and Georgia. The police and Robert F. Seller, secretary of the society, continued their investigation today, but were without new clues to thp identity of the perpetrator. Seller is hope- ful that the woman who appeared ported the sick dog“ will call and state whether she knows any more about the case.

COLE CIRCUIT COURT REVERSED — ‚4—- —— It Had Set Aside Order Re- straining Ni-Sun Com- pany From Operating St. Louis - Kansas Route. By the Jefferson City Correspond - ent of the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Dec. 31.— Power of the Missouri Public Serv- ice Commission to issue permits to motor bus companies which in ef- fect grant monopolistic use of pub- lic highways in transportation of passengers for hire was sustained today by the Missouri Supreme Court in affirming a commission order denying the Detroit-Chicago Motor Bus Co. (Ni-Sun Lines) a permit for intrastate business be- tween St. Louis and Kansas City on United States Highway No. 40. The Court held the commission order refusing the permit. on the ground transportation require - ments between St. Louis and Kan- sas City were being served ade- quately by two bus companies pre- viously given intrastate permits to usé No. 40 and by five railroads was a reasonable and lawful order. Judge W. T. Ragland wrote the opinion in Division No. 1 of the Court. ‘All of the Judges con- curred. The commission has denied a number of applications for motor bus permits, some of them sought by railroads for feeder lines, on the ground transportation needs were being met by one or more bus companies which already had re- ceived permits for use of the high- ways involved. This was done un- der provisions of the motor bus regulatory law, passed in 1927, giv- ing the Commission discretion to issue or refuse permits, based on public necessity for the service. Lower Court for Competition. In an appeal, the Ni-Sun lines attacked the monopolistic feature of the law as unconstitutional, and gained a temporary victory in Cole County Circuit Court, which set aside the commission order and di- rected the commission to issue an intrastate permit to the cdmpany. The commission appealed. The Su- preme Court ruling today reversed the Circuit Court and directed the lower court to affirm the commis- sion order. Cireuit Judge Westhues, in set- ting aside the commission order, said that if the bus companies were to be permitted to compete with the railroads, competition should be permitted among the bus com- panies on public highways and the public given the benefit of such competition. The Ni-Sun company now is op- erating on Highway No. 40 be- tween St. Louis and Kansas City, under a permit allowing it to en- gage in interstate business but not allowing it to carry intra-state pas- sengers between points in Missouri. The company operates lines from Detroit through Chicago and St. Louis to Kansas City, Kan. Three Considerations. Judge Ragland held that the power to grant or refuse a certifi- cate of public convenience and necessity to a public committed to the discretion of the Public Service Commission within MARKED TREE, Ark., Dec. 31, —Two witnesses yesterday identi- fied the body of a woman held here for 18 days as that of Mrs. Arthyr M. Baxter, 34 years old. Jonesboro, ‘although her husband, held as a suspect in the killing, in- sists it is not she. Fred Eddens, Assistant Chief of Police at Jonesboro, saw the body and said it was Baxter’s wife. Mrs. Jeannette Shields, operator of a Jonesboro restaurant, for whom Mrs, Baxter worked, also identi- fied the bedy. ) Mrs. Gladys Stone, Deputy Co ty Clerk of Graighéad County, said the body resembled the woman who went to her office July 13, 1928, with Baxter for a marriage license. Mrs. Stone said the wom- an gave the name of Lorena Fos- ter, Shawnee, Ok. Baxter, an invalid, will be for- mally charged with murder, it was announced by the Craighead Cor- oner. OAKLAND (CAL,) GIRL KIDNAPED FROM ESCORT; RETURNS HOME Miss Grace Willett Abducted While Seated With Him in — By the Associated Press. OAKLAND, Cal, Dec. 31.— Miss Grace Willett, 19 years old, who was abducted by an armed man as she sat in an automobile last night with her escort, Glen W. Grover, returned to her home early today. Miss Willett said her abductor, after driving off with her in Gro- ver's automobile, transferred her to his own car and then drove to another part of the city, where he attempted to attack her. The girl said she resisted him and he then drove about town, finally releasing her several blocks from her home. She said she could not describe the man as he broke the dashboard lights in Gro- ver’s car in order to prevent her from seeing his face. A general police hunt for Miss Willett was begun when Grover, a dental technician, reported the ab duction. CHICAGO NEW YEAR LIQUOR SUPPLY REPORTED SHORT By the Associated Press.. CHICAGO, Dec. 31.—Some per- sons said tonight’s celebration of New Year’s eve in Chicago would be the dryest in history, but others said it would be very wet. The Government has made its usual preparations to have agents at the popular dining places. There were intimations that the supply of intoxicants was less abundant than in other years due in part to the big blizzard interrupting im- portations. One large Loop hotel, the Palmer House, announced its main dining rooms would be closed for the eve- ning. Other places plan to permit no setups of crackéd ice and ginger ale, although some of them will sell ginger ale alone. About 20,000 reservations have been made at the principal places. Closing Time for Foreign Mail. Closing time for parcel post to Great Britain and full European mails is 9 o’clock tonight, and for full European, mails 4 p. m. and 9 p. m. Thursday at the Main Post- office, Eighteenth and Wainut streets. Air mail closing time is 3 p. m. tomorrow and the same hour Friday. . Don't Let Worry Steal your Efficiency —Invest Safely utility was defined limits and not to the Cir- gre 2 cuit Court or Supreme Court. In considering applications for | #2 such certificates or permits for mo- tor bus lines, he said the discre- tion of the commission was con- trolled by three principal consider- 5 ations—the transportation service being furnished by other carriers, the permanence and continuity of the proposed service and the effect which the proposed service may have up on existing carriers. The Bus regulatory law is in complete harmony with the gen- eral principles of state regulation of public utilities, Judge Ragland said, Exceeded Jurisdiction. While orders of the commission are subject to review by the courts, the Circuit Court exceeded its juris- diction in attempting to tell the commission what its actions should be, in the exercise of its lawful dis- cretion, Judge Ragland said. In discussing state regulation of public utilities, Judge Ragland quoted from Pond on public utili- ties (Third edition, page 778) as follows: “The very purpose of regulation by state agencies fs to secure uni- .formity of operating conditions among similar utilities and to save the economic waste that follows unregulated and useless duplication of service which destroys itself and fails to furnish permanent, satisfac- tory service at fair rates and crip- ples the existing necessary systems, commits waste and im ai Public service.” ee Cardinal Gasparri Has Flu.

If the Board of Education gives the regular four-year appointment as Superintendent of Instruction at $11,000 a year to Henry J. Gerling. now acting superintendent, as is likely, it will be following & prac- tice dating back at least 77 years in promoting a subordinate to take charge of the educational system rather than bringing in an outsider. , was an assistant super- ews until he received the acting appointment last July, and bas been connected with the schools here for 31 years. At least 10 of his predecessors, whose terms ran back consecutively to 1853, likewise were promoted from subordinate positions, as were gome earlier superintendents. _ The predecessors who were pro- moted within the system, and their terms, were: John J. Maddox. 1921-23: John W. Withers, 1917- 21: Ben Blewett, 1908-17; F. Louis Soldan, 13895-1908; Edward H. Long, 1880-95; William T. Har- ‘eis, 1867-80: Ira Divoll, 1853-67; John H. Tice, 1354-59, and Charlies A. Putnam, who served for three months in 1853 when he died. From 1852 until Putnam’s term began the superintendent was A. Litton. Available records do not show his antecedents nor those of Spencer Smith, the superintendent im 1850-51. Tice served a pre- yious term also, in 1851-52. EG- ward M. Avery, superintendent in 1848-49, preceding Smith, was pro- moted from a lower position. For- merly the term of the superin- tendency was only one year. When the board decided not te reappoint Maddox, last July, and put Gerling in the place tempo- rarily, it appointed a special com- mittee composed of Dr. David C. Todd. chairman, Mrs. Elias Michael and Ben Weidle, to seek an out- standing American educator fer the permanent appointment, in- eluding Gerling as a candidate. With its work scarcely under way, the committee decided to abandon tts efforts because of the genera! sentiment in the board in favor of Gerling, and its action was ap- proved by the board last week. Weidle announced that he would nominate Gerling Jan. 14. DEBITS TO BANK CUSTOMERS RISE $650,000,000 IN 1929 Increased to $10,218,831,288 in St. Louis: Drop in Clearings laid to Merger. Banking business in St. Louis increased considerably in the year closing today, as compared with 2328. Debits to individual ac- counts, which are taken generally as the most reliable barometer, were about $650,000,000 higher this year than last, the Clearing Heuse reported. The approximate total for this year was 510,218. 831,288, compared with $9,555,- 124,027 for last year. Debits to banks and bankers, an item covering business with finan- cial institutions outside of St. Louis, were almost $5,490,000,000 this vear, compared with $5,523,- 038,771 last year. Total ciearings for this year were $7,278,200,000, com pared with $7,566,300,000 last year. The decrease is attributed to the three dig bank mergers here in 1923, which operated to reduce the vol- ume of interchange of checks.

Lakin, president of the Cuba Co., to have Cuban sugar mills keep Gen. Enoch G. Crow- der, former Ambassador to Cuba, in Washington to work fot lower sugar tariff rates were made pub- lic today by Chairman Caraway of the Senate lobby committee through letters written by Lakin. Lakin, writing to Aurelio Portu- endo of the Cuban Trading Co., June 5, said Crowder had been employed in Washington since Jan. 15. But that his arrangement was to expire on Sept. 1 and asked if there were not some way for Crow- der’s retaimer “to be extended for few months more until this fight is finished.” Lakin's letter said that he did not know what Cuban mills were employing Crowder and he asked Portuendo to see President Macha- do if necessary and inform him of the situation. Portuendo replied that he agreed as to Crowder’s “usefulness” in Washington, but owing to Mach- ado’s absence was unable to learn of the prospects of extending his employment. He promised to see Machado as soon as possible and said it was because of the latter's good offices that the arrangement was made. The correspondence did not dis- close whether the employment was extended. Lakin, whew has been questioned at length by the Lebby Commit- tee, caused a stir recently when he testified that he had learned through Crowder that plans of the War Department were to abandon the traffic lane to the Philippines in the event of war. : The War Department announced that it intended to inquire the matter despite the fact that Crowder is on the retired list. The result of the investigation has not been made public. THOMAS BOYD GETS DIVORCE: READY fü TAKE ANOTHER WIFE Within 10 Minutes He and Mrs. Rath Fitch Bartlett Apply for License.

The Government radio service announced receipt of a message to this effect from the steamer Mel- ville, which carried the explorer to Deception Island. which he uses as @ base. Details ails were not given. Since Deception Island, one of the South Shetland group, is in the so-called Weddell quadrant of Antarctica, it is thought probable the new territory is somewhere in the vicinity, or south of Tierra del Fuego. „ About a third of the way around the world in nearly the same lati- tude Rear Admiral Byrd and his party recently have made impor- | tant South Polar explorations, com- pleting a flight over the South Pole, and discovering new land to F Antarctica.

HE St. Louis Board of Education appointed a committee to find the best qualified man who would accept the position of Superintendent of Instruction, now temporarily held by an acting su- perintendent. But before the committee finished its work six members of the board, two of whom are members of the committee, publicly announced that it was their intention to vote for the man who is now acting Superintendent ot In- struction. The effect of this public an- nouncement, of course, was to discour- age prospective applicants for the posi- tion to be filled. | | This sort of conduct is not to the best interest of our school System, A sincere effort should have been made to find the best qualified man for the position, even if he would not have been as close personally to a majority of the board members as some other man. ) N.

It might have experienced amazement and distress over recent convictiog in Ohio of two men and a woman who went to prtson because they circulated Commu- nist literature alleging that the United States is a militaristic nation planning war. It happens that the United States is a pacific nation doing its/ best to promote peace, so that the worst that could have been said of the Ohio Communists was that they are The California case is one of which, as the Guar- dian intimates. the world is going to know more. It points out that there was a sixth defendant in that case, a shell-shocked soldier of the late war who committed suicide on the eve of his sentence, The law under which these people, one of them a girl of 19 who recently left the University of California, were convicted is known as the Red Flag ew. passed in 1919. The behavior of all six persons appears to have been perfectly harm- less. Their only offense consisted in attending a workers’ children’s summer camp in the country, about six miles from Los Angeles, and flying the red flag. There were some 40 children at the camp this year, eight women and one man, and the authorities decided to interfere. When the 40 children, eight women and one man were ordered to disband they refused, and arrests were made which resulted in the eventual five sen- tences and one suicide. Of the four other wome going to the gaol, three are mothers. es , “Evidently,” the Guardian concludes, “Judges and juries in these cases are unaware that such sentences. cause amazement and distress throughout the world.” We dare say that is so. There is a way to make them aware of it, too. It is to publish their judgments everywhere. a service in which the Guardian is itself invaluable. . — 8 rT The F. S.

Johns, Associate Editor. HE Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, which controls the Na- tionalist Government of China, is invit- ing more trouble for that distracted coun- try. It is reported to have issued d man- date abolishing all extra-territoriai rights of foreighers on Jan. 1, 1930, and has re- fused to accept Tori-kichi Obata as Japa- nese Minister to China. It ig agreed generally that China should have legal jurisdiction within her own bor- ders at the earliest possible time, but it is also agreed. by those who know, that China dia not yet prepared efficiently and depend- ably to exercise jurisdiction. The Govern« ment, rather the party in power. bas not yet organized a sound judicial system, and its code of laws dealing with suits of for- eignérs and Chinese is promuigated with the announcement of the mandate. The governing faction of the party has not yet established governmental authority through- out China. It was only last summer that the Cen- tral Committee resolved to formulate a code and to organize a competent judiciai system. In view of the unsettied condi- tions and the revolutionary movements that ‘have kept the Government in hot water not much progress can have been made in establishing a dependable judicial system. Certainly there has ‘been no test of either the code or the courts. It is incredibie that the Nanking Government would at- tempt to enforce the mandate against the will ‘of Governments which have treaties conceding the right. For example, the treaty with the United States does not ex- pire until 1934. Our Government has been exceedingly sympathetic with Chinese ef- forts, to establish-a National government and organize a sound judicial system.

' without being in any sense an tation, Georges Bugnet's “Nip- „now occupies with “Maria Chapdelaine the place that story de. The fact that both were eritten originallx in the French wnguage could not in itself account tor the likeness in quality, nor could the fact that both deal with te i primitive Canadian society. it u rather that a profound in- terest in such life would demand deep sincerity, human. sympathy Fang insight that, while they. are by no means inevitable in the provincial mind, are hardly con- spicuous elsewhere among the eriters of our day. Wise simple- neartedness is not a characteristic urban product. “Nipsya,” like “Maria Chapde- wine,” deals with essential human ture that does not change, and the life-patterns that both trace are timeless ones. Such stories re- main pertinent to the deeper life Let anyone, however the social em- chasis may shift with fashion, be- muse the artificial superstructure of human experience is ignored and only the naked, basic prob- ems of living are presented. The ene of “Nipsya” is laid in the half-breed Cree settlements of the Peace River country during the late 70's, whén the old pagan- ism was dying out and the old free fife in a wide free land was being defended against the. British by the satives under the rebel, Louis Riel. But the story is little concerned with the fighting, which is sug- gested only through the haunting dread of the women at home, The theme of the tale is con- verned with the bloodless but more significant struggle between the bpagan and the Christian concep- dns of life, between the old haif- French voyageurs and those who had espoused agriculture as a means of life, as exemplified in the love affair of Nipsya, a Cree girl with the old beliefs, for Vital, a ‘hristianized half-breed who has vecome a farmer.

KING'S PLEASURE. By Ida Zeit- len. With illustrations by The- odore Nadejen. (Harpers.) This valuable and truly enter- ‘taining collection of romantic Slavic legends and sagas has re- ceived the approv:i of the King of Yugoslavia, who affords the author and illustrator every facil- ity for collecting their terial from ancient records from Serbian monks and peasants. The result is said to be an authentic presentation of the ancient life of the region, as preserved in legend, when Serbia rivaled Byzantium in makxnificence and power. Mr. Nadejen’s illustrations admirably supplement the text, THE GOURMET’S ALMANAC. Collected and compiled by Allan | Ross Macdougall. (Covici- Friede.) A glorified cookbook that, scorn- ing the usual dishes, concentrates on perfectly useless but neverthe- less delightful concoctions de- signed by culinary esthetes, Since the book is not at all for those who eat chiefly in order that they may live, there are quite as many reci- pes for the hungry soul as for the physical diner. pertinent excerpts from the literature of the world being interspersed. As the title suggeats, the material is arranged with especial reference to the various seasons. IN THE LAND OF THE LION. By Cherry Kerton. (McBride.)

Congressman Schaffer (Rep.). of Wisconsin, said the “recent whines and wails of the dry leaders are comparable to rats leaving a sink- ing ship.” He added that the drys were “attempting to open up an avenue of escape from their un- tenable position by attacking those nd | charged with enforcing the Federal prohibition laws.” This drew a reply from Congress- man Kelly (Rep.), of Pennsylvania, who expressed the opinion that 10 years of prohibition had demon- strated “the determination of the people as a whole to retain the eighteenth amendment and secure its enforcement.” He appealed for support for President Hoover with the assertion that “the task now confronting us is to follow the ieadership of a President who rec- ognizes his responsibilities and who has urged all Americans to assist him. se Chairman Snell of the House Rules Committee announced that the Senate resolution sto create a congressional committee to consid- er the reorganization of the prohi- bition units would be brought be- fore his committee next week. He said he understood the Treas- ury and Justice Departments had agreed on the units to be trans- ferred, and added that. he thought the committee—with the aid et the legislation drafting service of the house—could quickly prepare legis- lation to carry out the President's desires for reorganization. * Snell said he did hot think the proposal. of the Treasury Depart- ment to limit the number of ports on the Canadian border would ma- terially aid prohibition enforce- ment. He expressed the conviction that it would work a hardship on many persons living on both sides of the border, and that he would not approve any such move. The New Yorker said, however, that he thought the immigration service, border patrol and custems service on the Canadian border should be placed under. one head to promote efficiency. * DISSENSION AT MEETING OF INSURANCE DIRECTORS President of Western States Life Said to Have Off to.

Falzone said he was at- torney for the agents. Wallace said today that only one agent, C. B.

IHRER over the world. “And,” Voltaire explained to his visitor, "ave an- ewered every one.“ At this point I can only assume an attitude of deep humility. My own record in this matter of an- swéring letters is far from being perfect, and my busiest days are probably only about one-fourth as active as Voltaire’s quiet ones. The method 1 have of handling mail is quite akin to the old game of grabbag. I keep the current columnar correspondence piled on top of my filing cabinet, and ev- ery now and then I reach a hand into the mass, draw out four or five letters, and proceed to write replies. If the congestion on top grows much greater, I shall have to buy another filing case, and heap the rest of my epistles on it. This casual method does not mean, however, that I do not ap- preciate my mail. After the col- umnar censor has abstracted those missives which might ruin my dis- position, I read the rest with much pleasure and gusto, and usually fe- solve to acknowledge them im- mediately. However, I spend 80 much time arranging bayberries. practicing dance steps, and slicing liver for the cat that the letters often find their way, unanswered, into the haystack on top of my fil- ing cabinet. It happens that | devote more time to worrying over my failure to reply than would be consumed in sitting down and answering the letters. I still remember with a qualm the young man in prepara- tory school who wrote dramaticai- ly over a year ago that I had re- stored his lost faith in women. The letter was one of those which didn’t get answered, so probably his faith in women crumpled up again. I also recall the young lady who, several months ago, sent me some stamps and a request that 1 for- ward a certain column.

Her heart did a funny little som- ersault as she saw Clifford Vane's smiling gray eyes and heard his greeting. She climbed happily in beside him, in obedience to words that were more of a command than an invitation. “What a coincidence to run into you again!” she smiled. “I know so few people in New York that I rarely have the pleasure of peeing a familiar face.“ It's not a coincidence at all,” he answered simply. “I've driven past your office every evening around 5 o'clock, hoping to meet you.” She felt a wild sense of exulta- tion. The color rose in her cheeks, but she asked quite calmly: “How did you know where I worked?“ He smiled down at ner. “Very simple. As a witness you told all about yourself.” She thought this over for a while in sllence. So! He had been interested replies as a witness, Finally she said, with a demure smile: “What else do you know’ about me?“ “I know that you were born Christine Farr; that your age is —well, something too ridiculous to believe, for a child like you; that you are a widow——” %Oh:“ Chfistine uttered the little exclamation thoughtfully. enough even then to remember her/ fr courteous, dependable—that was She wasn’t a widow!

And though, at first, the old Christine attempted to scoff and remind her of how often be- fore she had, found only d@isillu- sionment in promised happiness, she learned to shut her ears and drink in the new joy that. nae come to her. She told herself that she was only storing up the present happi- ness against the future, the days when she would see him no more. Por, of course, she reasoned, it couldn't last—this beautiful friend-} ship that was like nothing she had ever experienced before in her life, She saw Vane nearly every day. He lived at a club near Gramercy Park. On his way up or down- town he often passed her apart- ment and asked her to go for a drive. His offices were rot far hers, 80, quite frequently, he stopped by to drive her home. She discovered that he was very prom- inent in his profession, that he was the head of a prosperous law firm. She knew he was wealthy, but he was modest; his tastes were sim- ple.“ He made none of the display, the obvious flaunting of his riches that Sanford did.

Extras are uniformed, 1000 as American infantrymen; 700 as German soldiers. The Americans had been drilled previously, but the Germans hadn’t been. They need only crouch in their trenches, fire blanks, and retreat. There are two more rehearsals, then the loud speaker announces: “Picture this time.” ~ The Americans charge, firing their blanks. The Germans fire and run back. Dynamite rocks the grounds, throwing up dirt and smoke. Men are running and fall- ing all over the field. Another movie battle is won and the direc- tor cries “Cut!” „Lunch,“ says the loud speaker, and Germans and Americans run side by side to chow.

In another close by is Tom, docile double for Rex. Nearby is Marquis, “villain” in Rex’s pic- tures. Only bars separate Rex and his Lady, because one time she kicked the side out of a regular stall when she couldn’t see her Rex and rub his nose occasionally. Rex and his family have had a pretty soft time since the movies got noisy. They run around the block once in awhile, but the rest of the time they sleep and eat. Their owners and trainer haven't fiiscovered a satisfactory way of directing them so commands won't be picked up by the microphone. Rex can be directed only by Jack Lindell, a cowboy who captured him on the plains of Texas. Rex has bitten several men and once he picked up his human heroine by her wide leather belt and nearly shook her teeth out. + * * EX has never been ridden, al- Renn he can be saddled for a few minutes and a rider put astride him. Such scenes are neces- sary because usually Rex is repre- sented as tame when the picture ends. His pedigree is not known, but Lindell believes Rex was born in captivity and ran away at an early age to join a band of wild horses. After Lindell had established himself in Rex’s eyes as master, he sold him to the State of Colorado for breeding purposes. Later Hal Roach bought him and starred him in “King of Wild Horses.” Tom looks exactly like Rex and is the only movie double used in close-up shots. The trainer could not.assure the heroine she would be safe when the manuscript re- quired her to pat Rex on the nose, hence Tom got all the pats. The Greens Count.

By JOHN K. WINKLER, OHAPTER XII. HORTLY before her marriage to Sees David Milton, Babs Rock- steller was aided by her grand- father in persuading her father, Rockefeller Jr., to lift his hitherto stern ban against her motoring. The young Miltons promptly pur- chased an $8000 ca out of their combined personal income of $23,- 000. The motor was a powerful stream-line, American-made ma- chine of battleship gray. John D. knew of the couple’s ambition to take the car abroad with them on their honeymoon, knew also the young people’s pock- ets were not lined with gold. So, at the conclusion of the wedding ceremony in May, 1925 (during the recital of the Lord’s Prayer, John D. wiped his eyes time and again), grandpop drew Abby to one side and pressed a bit of paper into her moist hand. 0 That evening, after the wedding fans had been eluded successfully, several chums joined the Miltons in a private apartment at t' e Hotel Plaza for a wedding supper. These intimates ineluded some well- known figures of stage and screen; Marilyn Miller, Walter Catlett and others. Describing some of. the wedding presents to them Babs ex- claimed: “The gifts were splendid but Dave and I need a little jack. Do you know, people, only one person gave us a check—Grandfather. An understanding old dear! He knew we were broke and he knew I am just dying to buy one of those beautiful French cars that do a mile in less than nothing! Grand- father has promised to ride with me when we get back.” John D.’s check was large enough not only to purchase the beautiful car of Babs’ dreams but also to finance the honeymoon trip. = we — GAIN to return to John D.“ A. Motoring, as a rule, con- sumes two hours of his after- noon. Then comes the usual 10- minutes’ rest, a brief session with his secretary, another talk or two over the phone with his son or a representative, and he is ready to dress for dinner. He always wears formal dinner clothes, a habit of years, whether he is dining alone with Mrs. Evans or whether there are a dozen guests. ‘ Dinner is served promptly at 7:30. For the master of the house it is perhaps the lightest meal of the day. But again a full hour-is required to consume the tiny grains of food he permits himself. short rest while the table is beim cleared in the great dining room, with its heavy, simple, old- fashioned furniture. Then comes the evening’s chief amusement. A long life of devotion to piet- istic principles excludes all thought of card playing or gambling from the mind of John D. Rockefeller, though, of course, he has lost and won many nickels from Gen. Ames and others on the golf course. Somewhere in his soul there must be a lingering weakness for games of chance. For he passes most evenings, between dinner and bed- time, with an interest that never flags, in a parlor game called Numerica. It is difficult to score a count of 52 in one round of the game. A moderately good player makes the maximum count one time out of three. John D. is so expert at shifting and building that he has been known to make several per- fect scores in succession. When he makes his 52, John D. laughs as joyously as he did 60 years ago over the purchase of an important rival refinery. These evenings, when he wins the round at Numerica, Rockefeller gloating- ly transfers a shining buffalo nickel from the right pocket of his dress waistcoat to the left. The left pocket holds his “winnings.” Half a dozen or more games have generally been played by 10:30, when John, the valet, ap- pears, to remind Rockefeller of bed. The Numerica expert walks cheerily to the elevator, mounts to his suite and is peacefully slum- bering by 11. ITHIN a very limited circle, Wir D. likes to cast back upon his business career. Those in intimate touch with him say that if he were carving out his great fortune today he would fol- low Henry Ford's example of dis- tributing a portion of his wealth while he was actually accumulat- ing. He has watched with wonder-' ment Ford's attainment of popular esteem while piling up hundreds of millions for himself and family. He subscribes thoroughly to the Ford system of high wages and short hours, believing that it stimulates production. | Roughly, Rockefeller and his son have given away 8750,00. . The principal charities are: $183,000,- 000 to the Rockefeller Foundation endowed “to promote the well be- No Card Playing — feller Memorial, $74,000,000, to pro- mote the welfare of -women and children; and to-the University of Chicago, $50,000,000. In addition he endowed the Rockefeller Insti- tute, devoted exclusively to medical research, for $10,000,000 and also gave an immense sum to increase teachers’ salaries throughout the United States. The Spelman Memorial recently merged with the Foundation. The combined assets of the two institu- tions, based upon market value of their stock and bond holdings, land and buildings, equipment, etc., reach the staggering total of 33138, 173.762. The figures furnish a rather good index of John D.’s prescient investing vision. * — „ HERE was a time when clouds 1 of depression swept over Rocke- feller. These gloomy spells were particularly noticeable when his wife, his brother William and his friend, John D. Archbold, died. Now he looks upon death as calmly as one watches an autumn leaf fluttering to earth. Thus, three years ago, he took the passing of his old crony, Dr. Biggar, the man who forced him to drop active business. “I don't let anything bother me,” he says. “I keep cheerful. It is true that I am saddened now and then by the death of an old friend but I make new friends and people are very kind.” It is noticeable that John D. more and more cultivates acquaint. ance with young people. He seems to shy at forming new and deep friendships with the old—perhaps he wants to spare himself the shock of surviving them. Occasionally he has an organist out from New York to play upon the magnificent instrument at Kijkuit. Another of his favorite grandchildren, Fowler McCormick, frequently goes to Pocantico to play the organ. On these evenings the Oil King abandons his passion for Numerica and sits wrapped in delight as old-fashioned songs and hymns caress his ears. To a greater extent each year, John D. enjoys family gatherings.. Sometimes he is a-flow with remin- iscence. Then the younger grand- children listen, wide-eyed, when he describes how boys in his child- hood were awakened by the sound of wood-choppers’ axes at 4 o’clock of winter mornings; how they rore by lantern light and heard brittle show squealing under sled runners.
