Once again the Constitution will call Congress into session today. At noon the gavel will fall in Sen- ate and House, setting in motion the legislative machinery of the nation which has been idle since adjournment last July. The new session, the second of the Sixty-ninth Congress, will face a huge task. It will have but three months in which to work, for its tenure under the Constitution expires March 4. More than 12,000 bills remain on the calendar untouched from last ses- sion. To these will be added several hundred more as soon as the formali- ties of the opening day are over. Out of this brief three months of work must be taken 10 days for a Christmas vacation, while many hours will be consumed by the political orators. The burden of selection of those bills to be given preferential consideration will fall on the shoulders of the Re- publican steering committees of the two houses. They will be required to choose only a few bills to push forward for enactment. Bills First. First in their minds are the annual Appropriation | appropriation bills to provide funds for | the operating expenses of the govern- ment. Besides these, agreement al- ready has been reached to take up two measures on definite dates—the rivers and harbors bill in the Senate on De- cember 14, and a bill proposing salary increases for the Federal judiciary in the House Thursday. The tentative legislative list also in- the Mc- the Lausanne and the treaty to fare. Farm relief proposals in numerous | forms also are knocking at the doors lof both houses while the Democratic inembership is solid in its demand for a tax reduction bill. Today will be devoted to the usual formalities of the opening session. Both houses will be opened by prayer. Roll calls then will be taken. In the Senate the names will be called in alphabetical order, while in the House the roll will be tabbed by States. Will Wait Upon Coolidge. A joint committee, composed of the » | party leaders of the two houses, will be appointed to wait upon the President and notify him that the Congress has convened and awaits his annual mes- sage. While this committee is journeying to the White House new members with proper credentials will be sworn in. The call of the committee at the White House is only a formality, as it already has been announced President Coolidge will depart from the custom used by Wilson and Harding and once by himself in appearing in person to deliver his message. It will be sent to the Capitol tomorrow by special mes- senger and read in both Senate and House by clerks. After the joint committee formally notifies Congress that the message will be brougnt up tomorrow, both houses will adjourn today out of respect to the memory of the late Senator Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa, and the late Sena- tor Bert M. Fernald, of Maine. Four to Take Senate Oath. Four new members will take the oath in the Senate. They are Arthur R. Gould, of Maine, and David W. Stewart, of Iowa, Republicans, and David I. Walch, of Massachusetts, and Harry B. Hawes, of Missouri, Democrats. The new members to be seated in the House are Harry L. Englebright and Richard J. Welch, of California; John J. Coch- ran, of Missouri, and former Representa- tive Frederick W. Dallinger, of Massa- chusetts. After hearing the President's mes- sage tomorrow the House will adjourn out of respect to the memory of former Speaker “Uncle Joe” Cannon. The Sen- ate has no set program at that time. Both houses will receive the Presi- dent's annual budget message Wednes- day. As soon as it has been received by the House Chairman Madden, of the appropriations committee, plans to in- troduce the first of the appropriation bills, that for the Treasury and Post- office departments. Madden hopes to send tnis measure to the Senate before the week-end ad- Interior or Agriculture Department journment, and then call up either the | | Jazz Fails to Disguise : Filing of Prison Bars Pineville, Ky., Dec. 5 (By A. P.).— Discordant notes entering a har- monica marathon as the musician paused to catch his breath in Jail here Friday night caused the dis- banding of a perfectly good orches- tra and Incidentally the frustration of a Jalil delivery. Early in the night, Charles Wil- son, deputy jailer, was attracted by the continued concert of the har- monita soloist who after exhausting his repertoire of mountain folk songs assaulted modern jazz with- out a rest. Investigation disclosed the orches- tra composed of two men, one us- ing deft violin strokes with a file for a bow had played through three bars and was on the fourth, while his accompanist with the harmonica played dozens of tunes on the har- monica. Boyd Arnett, charged with stealing chickens and Cecil Thomp- son, charged with false swearing, composed the orchestra. Four steel saws and a window weight were the accom xx of the musicians. DUTCH MARKET LOSES 200 10 SAFE-GRACKERS Fourteenth Street Store Robbed in Same Manner as Ninth Street Branch. OTHERS REPORT THEFTS The Old Dutch market, 3113 Four- teenth street northwest, was visited by safe-crackers early yesterday, who ripped open a 200-pound safe and took approximately $200 in bills. The rob- bery was the most serious of the many larceny reports, which engaged the at- tention of central office detectives. Entrance to the market was gained through a side door, which was left unbolted. The safe was taken from the office and carried to a refrigerator, where it was ripped open from the bottom. James Shenos, manager, of 3618 §S street northwest, discovered the rob- bery. Detective Edward Kelly, of the central office, investigated. Police be- lieve the robbery was committed by the same band of men who three months ago .entered and robbed the Dutch market at Ninth street and Louisiana avenue northwest, in the same manner. Within the last two days police have received reports of the thefts of 26 automobiles. The automobile squad, comprised of Detectives Eugene Davis, Frank Alligood, Joseph Connors and Menry M. Jett, have recovered three of the stolen cars. The vehicies were found abandoned. Israel Kurland, 3205 Georgia avenue northwest, and Israel Meusha, 3228 Georgia avenue northwest, were the victims of robbers. Their stores were broken into and a small amount of money and merchandise stolen from each. The loss was approximated at $30 by police. John Bartholomer, 1209 Crittenden street northwest, said his henhouse in the rear of his home had been looted of three chickens. Radio to Prevent Sea Fog Collisions New York, Dec. 5 (By A. P.).—Inven- tion of a radio device to be used to prevent collision of ships during fogs and storms was announced today by the Federal Telegraph Co. of California. The makers of the instrument say its value has been proved by tests made by the United States lighthouse serv- ice. The device, described as a low pow- ered automatic radio transmitter which sends out a characteristic signal over short distances, is for installation in pilot houses. Its signals can be heard by vessels within a radius of ten miles. By use of a radio compass the exact location of ships sounding the signal can be quickly determined. SUNDAY SCHOOL BOY SAYS HEIS BANDIT Lone Wolf, Who Held Up Chain-Store Managers, Tells of Robberies. Newark, N. J., Dec. 5 (By A. P.).— How a 19-year-old Sunday _ school teacher became “The Ace,” a lone wolf bandit, was told by police today after they investigated the story of Thomas Stephenson, self-confessed holdup man, who has been terrorizing chain store }managers for five weeks. Stephenson, who taught every Sun- day at the school of the First Meth- rodist Episcopal church, Arlington, was captured last pight\while fleeing with $100 he took a l point from the. manager of the Star Luggage Co. in Market street. . “Thoughts of being a holdup man came to me,” he told police, “when the moonbeams glistened on an -old revolver that hung on my bedroom /| wall.

Al The defense in the Fall-Doheny con- | spiracy trial, now being held before | Justice Hoehling, expects to regt ey case before the end of the week and perhaps as early as Thursday. This | means that, barring unforeseen circum- | stances, the case will be over a week or ten days before Christmas. Navy war plans of 1921-22 and their relationship to the oil lease contracts will continue to be the dominant factor | today and tomorrow, especially when Curtis D. Wilbur, Secretary of the Navy, | replies to the subpena calling upon | him to produce secret navy documents, | including the reports of Rear Admiral | Albert Gleaves, who commanded the | Asiatic station from September 1, 1919, to March, 1921. Both Secretary Wilbur and Admiral Gleaves, besides former Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby, may be called upon to testify. There is also a surprise witness scheduled to appear on the stand. The question of whether Ed- ward L. Doheny himself will testify is still undetermined, though the general impression is that he will insist upon appearing as a witness in his own de- fense. However, Doheny was confined to his bed yesterday under doctor's or- ders following a minor operation he was forced to undergo last Friday for an in- fected arm. He is expected to be able to be in court today, as the infection is responding to treatment, though the patient has had considerable fever. Await Navy Secrets Decision. Admiral John K. Robison leaves the stand today or tomorrow the question of how deeply vy war plans are to be gone into probably be decided. Frank J. Hogan, counsel for Doheny, has obtained testimony which links the Doheny Pearl Harbor contract with the navy’s war plans and which, furthermore, shows Denby directed Robison to communicate this confiden- tial information to Doheny in connec- tion with an appeal by the Navy De- partment to Doheny to undertake the contract about which Doheny had mis- givings owing to the risk and the un- willingness which directors of his Pan- American Co. expressed to embark in that kind of construction work. Having established these points, through the testimony of Admiral Robi- son and others, it is understood that Before J (CONTINUED ON PAGE Lone Jaguar Awaits Roosevelt’s Party COLUMN 4.) Tucson, Ariz.., Dec. 5 (By A. P.).—| One lone jaguar is-all there is left in the Arizona mountains for Archie Roos- evelt and his party to hunt, the U. 8S. biological survey reported yesterday. Two jaguars, natives of the hills far- ther south than the _ international boundary, were reported in the Arizona ranges. Fred Ott, government hunter, Roosevelt pnd his party came here recently with the announced intention of killing jaguar but the biological sur- vey office, which keeps track of preda- tory animals, say they will have to go south into Mexico if they expect much SUCCESS. Juror at Inquest Accused as Slayer Henderson, Ky., Dec. 5 (By A. P.).— Ed Powell, 50, farmer, wag arrested today on a charge of slaying Elmer Yates, 21, whose body was found last Tuesday in the ruins of a burned cabin near Dixie, Ky. Mrs. Yates has admitted clandestine meetings with Powell, according to Odie Duncan, county attorney.

(By A. P.)—With the nati nal tendency toward increased municipal expendi- tures, the Wyoming State board of equalization holds out as an excep- tion the town of Riverside. The en- tire expenditure this year for its maintenance and repair and fire and police protection, if any, will be $47. Riverside is incorporated and has a mayor and everything except a post- office. James F. Cooper, secretary of the State board of equalization, ex- plains that back in 1911 prohibition- ists raised a “rumpus” about road houses and had the legislature pass a law providing that only incorpor- ated towns could have_ saloons. “Thereupon,” he said, “most of the places where a few houses, a store and a saloon had congregated voted to incorporate and did so. “The result is that Wyoming, with a population of 206,381, according to the 1925 census, now has 74 in- corporated cities and towns, some of them with populations well under ; TRAIN MIN-UP PREVENTS GREETINGS FOR MARIE King and Diplomats, Told of Late Arrival, Are at Lunch When She Returns. 5 Lsatac dada STi IS ILL Bucharest, Roumania, Dec. 5 (By A. P.).—Home from her turbulent but per- haps triumphant tour of America, Queen Marie passed Sunday in the pal- ace with her ailing spouse and so0v- ereign, King Ferdinand, although the king’s affliction was not severe enough to keep him from meeting his family at the station on their arrival yester- day. Well-wishers found little to reas- sure them in the bulletin issued by Prof. Henri Hartmann, French special- ist, and Dr. Regaud, noted radio- therapeutist, who have just been called in for consultation. The bulletin reads: “The results of the first consultation of Drs. Hartmann and Regaud show that the recto-sigmoidal affection from which the king is suffering presents no modification. The general condition, appetite and sleep are satisfactory.” The arrival of Queen Marie, Princess Ileana and Prince Nicolas at Bticharest lacked the punctual dignity which it is customary to expect at royal functions. The entire diplomatic corps, state offi- clals, prelates and native artistcoracy, arrayed for the occasion, reached the station at 10 o’clock in the morning to await the train, which was due at 11. Shortly before noon they were informed that the train would not arrive until 2 in the afternoon. The red carpets were rolled up and with the flowers were carefully put aside in the waiting room. Every one withdrew for lunch. When the welcoming groups came back at 2 o’clock, they learned that the train had pulled in at 1 and that the queen had proceeded to the palace with the king; some one had had the pres- ence of mind to order the train to wait in the yard for 30 minutes until Fer- dinand could be hurried to the station. Premier Averscu also was notified in time to get back and extend his greet- ings. The king and queen warmly em- braced and both wept, as did others, affected by the sight of their reunion. There were few onlookers, however, to this scene, but half an hour later the crowds began to gather in the streets around the station to witness what al- ready had taken place. NEMESIS OF INDIAN’S SLAYER 1S MURDERED Oklahoma Identification Bu- reau Agent Shot Dead While Asleep. Oklahoma City, Okla., Dec. 5 (By A. P.).—Luther Bishop, operative of the State bureau of investigation and identification, was shot to death by an unknown assassin while he lay asleep in his home here early today. Bishop was instrumental in assemb- ling evidence upon which W. K. Hale and John Ramsey were convicted in Federal court here a short time ago for the murder of Henry Roan, Osage Indian. Authorities said his assailant escaped over a low bungalow roof to the ground and sped away in a motor car. New York’s 6 Sleighs Bring $25 an Hour . New York; Dec. 5 (By A. P.).—Sleigh bells came back to Central park today during the snow-storm and the owners of New York’s six surviving public sleights profited at the rate of $25 an hour. . Robert Simpson, 74-year-old dean of cabbles, said he bought his sleigh last summer for $3 and while the snow lasts he considers $100 a day should be his average income. ‘Confederate Veteran Dies at Age of 111 Hogansville, Ga., Dec. 5 (By A.

At the age of 45 he entered the Confederate UHILE 10 CONSIDER IN PRINCIPLE CEDING Ur TAGNA AND ARICA Kellogg Proposition Is Entertained as Basis for Negotiations. WANTS AREA NEVER AGAIN TRANSFERRED Peru Remains to Be Heard From, Bolivia Having Accepted Proposal. (By the Associated Press.) Chile has agreed to “consider, principle,” the proposal of Secretary Kellogg providing for the cession to Bolivia of the disputed provinces of Tacna and Arica. Notice that Chile had consented to give consideration to the suggestion of the American Secretary of State, made on his part as the only way out of the 40-year-old dispute with Peru, was con- tained in a note received yesterday at the Chilean embassy. A similar note was forwarded to the State Department through the American embassy at San- tiago. Mr. Kellogg had proposed cession of the territories to Bolivia because he be- lieved that their division between Chile and Peru “on any basis of agreement presents almost insuperable difficulties so long as each applies to every ar- rangement suggested the test of whether it may conceivably: enable the other to claim a moral victory.” Would Avoid Future Danger. Perpetual demilitarization of the provinces, which Mr. Kellogg had fixed as one condition in the transfer of sovereignty, Chile said in her note, “Must be understood in its widest sense, climinating all possibilities that in it or its territorial waters there may be maintained bases for forces of land, air or sea.” “We have the right,” the note added, “to make sure that the sacrifice we are making in deference to a lofty ideal will not constitute a future-dan-- ger to our exterior security. “As a natural corollary to this idea, it would be indispensable to stipulate that the territory whose cession is pro- posed could not be transferred, in whole or in part, by any of the con- tracting nations to any other power. The acceptance of any other view would be tantamount to a distortion of the noble motive which inspired the Secretary of State in formulating his proposal.” Always Disposed to Listen. in Asserting that Chile had always been disposed to “listen to all propositions for settlement which might contribute toward such lofty aims,” although not abandoning its “solid juridical position given her by the treaty of Ancon and the arbitral award,” the note added: “In this sense the Chilean govern- ment agrees to consider, in principle, (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2, Chains Self to Iron; Scores Sacco Verdict = COLUMN 8.)

Mrs. Clemington Corson, first mother to swim the English channel, today an- nounced that she would not enter the Catalina island swim for a $625,000 purse, because contestants are to be al- lowed to spread thick layers of grease over their bodies and go without bath- ing suits. “I positively will not enter a swim- ming match and compete with any woman who won't wear a bathing suit,” said Mrs. Corson today. “Moreover, the announcements by some of the women competitiors who say they will swim covered with axle grease, is only a cheap publicity stunt.” Chicago Women Plan To Dare Arctic Hunt Chicago, Dec. 5 (By A.

Home of L. C. Probert, Asso- ciated Press Chief, Burns to Ground. STOVE WAS OVERHEATED “Homeland,” country home of L. C. Probert, superintendent of the Wash- ington bureau of the Associated Press, near Olney, Md., was burned to the ground early yesterday morning in a fire started by an overheated stove. Mrs. Probert was trapped in her room on the second floor, but was rescued by her husband, who placed a ladder against the window and carried her to safety. Both received slight burns on the face. The blaze, fanned by a strong north- west wind, had gained so much head- way when it wa3 discovered that mem- bers of the Sandy Spring volunteer fire department, commanded by Sergt. Herbert H. Adams, were powerless to hold it in check. Probert was inspecting his live stock in a nearby barn when the clanging of a farm bell summoned him to the house. He found the dining room in flames. Aided by Miss Ida Caplinger, a servant, Probert attempted to ex- tinguish the flames with buckets of water. Realizing that their task was futile, he called Mrs. Probert, and she notified the volunteer firemen. Mrs. Probert then went to her room on the second floor to get some clothes and other per- sonal property. Before she could desceind flames en- veloped the stairway. Opening the win- dow she cried for aid. Probert obtained a ladder and climbing the slanting, sleet covered roof made his way to Mrs. Probert’s smoke filled room and carried her to the ground. Everything in the home was de- stroyed. Probert estimated the damage at $20,000. The loss partially is covered by insurance, he said. Firemen pre- vented the flames spreading to nearby buildings. In a barn 200 feet from the burning home was housed the famous flock of “White House Sheep.” The prize flock grazed on the White House lawn dur- ing the latter years of President Wil- son’s administration. Before retiring President Wilson presented the flock to Probert. A herd of prize cattle, several horses and other valuable live stock was stabled in barns a short distance from the home. The house, a fourteen-room frame structure, was erected about 50 years ago. Rugby Player Killed By Injury in Game Vancouver, B. C.. Dec. 5 (By A.

LENGLEN COLLAPSES IN EXHIBITION MATCH Tennis Star Reels From Court and Is Required to Call Off Portland Play. Portland, Oreg, Dec. 5 (By A. P.).— Suzanne Lenglen, French jennis cham- pion, reeled off the court at the Colli- seum last night after winning the first set of her exhibition match with Mary K. Browne and collapsed when she reached her dressing room. The French girl was taken to her hotel. Cc. C. Pyle, troupe manager, an- nounced’ from the floor that Miss Len- glen would not be able to continue the match nor to appear in a sched- uled mixed doubles set later. He said Miss Lenglen was suffering from a cold. Members of the Pyle entourage said CAPITAL BLANKETED WHEN SNOW, FATAL 10 10, COVERS EAST City Suffers but Little; Sleigh Turns Over as Horse Runs Away. 14 BUILDINGS BURN IN LONG BRANCH, N. J. 75 Boats eid . on Barge Canal; Lake Erie Ship- ping Is hieube A blanket of sleet and snow that cov- ered the entire Eastern seaboard, claim- ing a total of ten lives and establishing low temperature records in New Eng- land, left Washington to emerge com- paratively unscathed yesterday from its first real touch of winter weather. Despite the slippery streets and darkness caused by low-hanging clouds, traffic casualties were at a minimum, and storm plows in constant operation kept street cars in motion. Although Superintendent of District Refuse Mor- ris Hacker kept 33 snow plows in readi- ness for use on the streets, the sleet never reached sufficient depth to war-. rant their use. A crew of 50 men was employed by the department to meet any emergency. To insure the safety of thousands of children who took advantage of the first snow to go sledding, Police In- spector W. S. Shelby issuci instructions to captains of all police precincts to rope off streets used last winter for coasting. Red lanterns were placed at the intersections last night as a warn- ing to motorists. Due to the sharp drop in temperature Saturday night, automobile service sta- tions reported an unusual number of cars yesterday with frozen radiators. Few motorists, however, ventured on the slippery streets, to which fact police, attribute the low number of traffi¢e casualties, four in all. Pedestrians in the vicinity of Four- teenth street and Pennsylvania avenue northwest witnessed a near-tragedy when a horse drawing a two-seated sleigh became frightened while passing a snow plow and fran away, turning over the sleigh and endangering the lives of the three girl occupants. The horse, owned by the Potomc:c riding school, broke its traces and disappeared into Southwest Washington, galloping down Fourteenth street. No Trace of Horse. At a late hour last night police had found no trace of the horse. It is chestnut in color and answers to the name of Ida, Potomac riding school of- ficials say. Mrs. Mary Kamp, 63 years old, 2503 Fourteenth street northwest, was knocked down while crossing the street near Fourteenth and Belmont streets northwest. She was treated at Gar- field hospital for scalp wounds. When an automobile struck a parked car in front of 709 Florida avenue northwest, Miss Marion Beagle, 6436 Georgia avenue northwest, suffered in- juries to her limbs. She was entering the parked car when the crash occur- red. Mrs. Cecelia R. Gill, 28 years old, 714 E street northeast, and her 4-year-old son, John R. Gill, received minor in- juries when the automobile driven by her husband was in collision with an- other car at North Capitol and T streets. Occupants of the other car left without giving their names, police say. Mrs. Gill and her son were treated at Sibley hospital. Death in Snowfall. New York, Dec. 5 (By A. P.).—Death and suffering came with the first heavy snowfall of the winter which blanketed the east today. One man died of exposure in Buffalo, where the snow reached a depth of 12 inches. In Lockport, N, Y., the snow obscured the vision of a street car motorman and an automobile driver, and two occupants of the automobile were killed in the resultant crash, Firemen at several points were kept busy fighting to prevent the spread of flames fanned by the high winds which swept the eastern seaboard.

The desire of foreign vessels to invade the coastwise trede of the United States is being emphesized by foreign oper- ) } ; ators and by foreign officials and com- | mercial bodies.”’ Assign Reasons for Drop. An indication that Europeans were not still clinging to the belief that the American war-inspired merchant fleet was an “emergency” affair, as implied in the name, “Emergency Fleet Cor- ‘ poration,” the board's operating sub- sidiary, was given in the report, which dcelared westbound loadiag from Eu- | | | pected to begin upon completion of rope increased during the year and on) every hand there was “a growing ap- preciation by shippers and receivers of cargo of the good service rendered by our various lines.” Another reason assigned for the fall- ing off in South American trade was " the fact that foreign competitors were - employing motorships with much greater speed than board vessels. The board, however. is engaged in an exten- sive conversion program involving the Dieselizing of many of its cargo ships . and reported it hoped to speed up this work in future by experience gained in ‘ converting its first group. Attention was redirected to the fact ‘that the coastwise laws had not yet been extended to the Philippines, al- though the board certified to the presi- _ dent in 1922 and still holds that ade- quate tonnage is available for service * between the United States and the _ islands, warranting ma Yn of these protective laws to-+t . session.

PENSION CLAIMANTS RECEIVE $207,000,000 Story on Declaration of Inde- pendence Is Sent to School Children. (By the Associated Press.) A bird’s-eye review of bustling In- terior Department activities that reach ‘into many far nooks and deep below the surface of the earth is given in the annual report of Secretary Work, made public yesterday. It was one of the few annual ac- countings of modern times in which a cabinet officer merely told of the many important tasks his department was do- ing. and asked for nothing. The 104 printed pages formed a handbook of facts and figures descrip- tive of departmental interests ranging from the conduct of many $1,000,000 reclamation projects to the number of Portuguese admitted during the year to the governmental hospital at Kalihi, Hawaii. In view of the fact that Congress al- ready is occupied with a continuing reclamation program, that subject was given barely one one-hundredth of the space of the whole report. Even this was devoted entirely to a tabloid re- cital that the reclamation bureau had made certain surveys and carried out certain construction authorized by Congress, had provided complete irri- gation for 1,802,970 acres and partial water supply to 1,340,000 acres, operat- ed moré than 100 dams and 16,000 miles of canals, and built 431 bridges, 446 culverts and 82 fiumes. $207,000,000 Paid in Pensions. The scarcely less conspicuous bureau of pensions recited its accomplishments in three-quarters of a page. It paid during the year $207,844,348 in pensions and received and classified 42,894 civil war and 72,437 Spanish war pension claims. All of this required the mailing out of 6,311,105 separate checks. The Alaskan railroad reported an in- crease in earnings, reflecting the growth of the Territory’s manifold industries. The governor of Hawali recorded “nor- mal and gratifying progress” in Terri- torial economic and social matters. The various and widely scattered hospitals and schools under the wing of the In- terior Department all noted improve- ment and submitted exhaustive statis- tical data to prove it. Gt So the report ran through the in- ‘Davis Heard on Wednesday; | Dawes to Be Banquet Toastmaster. | Addressed by Secretary of War Davis, the twenty-second convention of the timate contacts of the general land of- fice, which did an $11,000,000 business; the Indian office, whose ministrations to the red man included the erection improvement of the old ones; the geo- of new schools and hospitals and the logical survey, which mapped the struc- ture of the earth in 43 States, located American pos- | | | ) } ‘ ' ' lard.

Following Secretary Davis’ opening Dewey C. Morris, 21 years old, and Miss Sophia E. Williams, 19, arrived in Rockville late Saturday in quest of a license to marry. They were told the license bureau was closed, and they would have to wait until today. But Morris and Miss Williams had determined they would be married without delay. They telephoned to Clayton K. Watkins, deputy clerk of the circuit court, at Gaithersburg, 5 miles from Rockville, and convinced him the marriage should be per- formed without further delay. He went to Rockville, opened the courthouse and witnessed the ceremony, which was performed by the Rev. B. W. John, pas- tor of the Methodist church at Rock- ville. GROSNER’S 1325 F S§sT.

The State Department’s proposition goes “much further than the conces- sion which the Chilean government has been able to make,” Foreign Minister Matte of Chile, asserted in the note, adding: “It involves the definittive ces- sion to the Republic of Bolivia of the disputed area, which signifies a sacri- fice of our right and the cession of a territory incorporated for 40 yéars” in the Chilean Republic. * * * “A situa- tion which cannot be juridically alter- ed, except by a plebiscite, whose re- suits offer no doubt whatever in the opinion of the Chilean people.” Inherited by Coolidge. The question of holding a plebiscite was originally submitted to President Harding for arbitration.

Hogan is willing to ease up on the question of secret war plans unless he regards it as necessary to delve deeper into this forbidden field. ’ But the cross-examination of Admiral Robison by Owen J. Roberts, of gov- ernment’s special counsel, is yet to come and will probably begin today. It appears important, from the stand- point of the prosecution's caste, to break down as much of Robison’s testimony as possible, especially that part of the admiral’s testimony relating to the di- rect connection between the navy’s 1921-22 war plans and the Doheny con- tract. 5 Plans Mate Pertinent. So far Roberts has sought to min- imize the effect of Robison’s testimony by asserting that the reasons which promoted the navy have no connection with the defendants. But Robison’'s testimony made the navy war plans pertinent to the issue, in the opinion of Justice Hoehling, because it is asserted that these war plans were communi- cated in confidence to Doheny and made the basis of the navy'’s appeal to him to construct the oll storage facili- ties. And as the lease on naval reserve No. 1 was regarded by Doheny as es- sential to undertaking the Pearl Harbor contract, the leases as well as the stor- age facilities link up with the war plans, according to Robison’s testimony. Consequently, from the standpoint of the prosecution in this case it has become increasingly important to at- tack the admiral’s testimony respecting the navy’s 1921-22 war plans. The ex- pectation, therefore, is that Mr. Rob- erts will assume the burden and re- sponsibility of asking for more light as to what these war plans and thease reports from Admiral Gleaves were. In | this event the clash will be between | the governmént’s special counsel on the | one hand and the State Department and the Navy Department on the other. If the confidential information is di- vulged in any detail there will be rami- fications, it is hinted, which will speedily spread beyond the realm of the questions now at issue in Justice Hoehling'’s court. International Dynamite in Ailr. There have been a few hints drop- ped as to what this confidential in- formation would disclose, but much of the speculation has been wide of the mark. For example, published reports that a foreign power was about to swoop down on the Pacific coast or that there was danger of any immediate de- velopment of a hostile character are admittedly discounted. But there is/| nevertheless a good quantity of inter- | national dynamite in the reports which | reached the navy late in 1920 and early in 1921, which reports caused the for- mation of war plans which, in turn, provided for the Pearl harbor oil fuel base. “Some time in the earlier part of 1921,”" Dr. H. Foster Bain, former direc- tor of the bureau of mines, said at the beginning of his testimony, “certain pa- pers went over my desk with regard to the application of the navy for money with which to undertake the gauging of the oil and similar duties in the naval petroleum reserves.” Inquiry was not made as to what these papers were, it has been noted. Admiral Albert Gleaves at that time was in command of the United States station in Asiatic waters. Gleaves, who is a veteran of 68,’ served as vice ad- miral and admiral in the world war. He commanded the cruiser and stom tem force of the Atlantic fleet and was given the responsibility of getting the various units of the American expeditionary forces safély overseas. Had Greatest of Responsibilities. Former Secretary of the Navy Daniels regarded him as. the officer who had perhaps the greatest of all responsibili- ties on his shoulders. The famous Fourth of July announcement of 1917 which Daniels and George Creel, direc- tor of the committee on public informa- tion, gave to the American people as an occasion for national rejoicing was the successful repulse of a submarine at- tack on the American. transports. Gleaves was in command of the Amer- ican naval forces which successfully protected the transports. Examination of Gleaves’ reeord, it 1s | pointed out, shows that he served in) the Spanish-American war, that he has, had battleship command, that he served | on the general board, that he was, awarded the Victory medal with star and the D. 8. M. and other decorations for his service in the world war, &c. It ig noted, too, that he spent some time in Europe “on special service’ in 1907 and it is known that he made some confidential reports at that time which amazed the authorities for their value and accuracy. Gleaves was in command of the tor- pedo station at Newport, R. L., = to 1908 and was one of the few officers who foresaw the important role which torpedo attack would play in the next war, much of which ‘ipforrmation he obtained while in Europe. Whén he re- turned from the Far East in 1921. he had a period of “special service” at the Navy Department here. Navy Impressed by Reports. Gleaves’ confidential reports from the Far East in 1920-21 had great weight with the Navy Department, it is known. He had served through the world war in European waters and was in a i- tion, it is understood, to give the Unit- ed States government the benefit of his expert opinion as to how America would fare in the event of war with a certain foreign power. Based on the les- sons taught by the world war, it is un- derstood to have been apparent to Ad- miral Gleaves that the protection of the Pacific coast was nothing like as easy as it appeared. The only strategic plan of value which the navy could adopt for the protection of the West coast was re- garded as seriously jeopardized, if not rendered impossible, by the lack of an adequate fuel oil supply at a point ac- cessible to American naval forces some- where in the proximity of Far Eastern waters. The old idea of an American fleet remaining off the Pacific coast and awaiting developments spelled certain defeat in the eyes of those naval au- thorities who had followed the world war ox who were gharged with the re- sponsibility of the nation’s defense. Gleaves’ repoxts itie admitted were not the only reports Which caused the formation of the navy’s 1921-22 plans. for protecting. the country in the event of war. Other reports simply reinforced the views of Admiral. Gleaves. War Plans Kept Up to Date. Meanwhile in the early months of 1921, the war plans of a certain o power were be kept up to date just as every nation keeps its war plans up to the minute even when there is not a‘ semblance of a cloud in the interna- wn choice of striking for control of the Pacific within a reasonably early date or seéing the opportunity to strike vanish, perhaps, forever. Diplomats abroad as well as British naval officers were fully alive to the situation, according to Wickham Steed, editor of the London Times, who came to the United States in 1921 and dis- closed in confidence some of the in- formation he had gathered. It is now known that the Washington disarma- ment conference, which incidentally brought an end to the Anglo-Japanese alliance, became a factor in interna- tional diplomacy in 1921. War Plans Caused Conference. Up to the present, it is pointed out, the reason for calling this conference has been attributed to lofty motives as well as the desire of the powers con- cerned to stop competitive naval build- ing and to preserve peace in the Pacific by the four-power pact, signed in February, 1922. The now-famous 5-5-3 ratio was agreed upon, America and Britain to be represented by 5 and Japan’s relative naval strength to be designated by 3. But the American delegates agreed to that estimate on the understanding that the Rearl Harbor fuel supply base would remain in operation, as planned by the Pearl Harbor contract. These defensive plans will remain at the disposal of the gov- ernment, in any event, it is conceded. But a deep probe into the navy’s war plans based on reports from Admiral Gleaves and others may, it is said, dis- close information which will show that the Washington conference was not altogether inspired by the considera- tions which have been made public. The understanding is that. the govern- ment of a certain power may be well aware of this but the people of that country are not aware of it any more than the American people are, it is explained. he information which was respon- sible for the navy war plans, now under discusgion, was also responsible to a great extent, it is understood, for the calling of the Washington disarmament conference by the President of the United States. This, it is believed, ac- counts for the fact that Admiral Rob- ison mentioned the State Department as well as the Navy Department in appealing to Justice Hoehling not to compel him to divulge confidential in- formation. Clothing Is Asked For Needy Veterans An appeal for overcoats, clothes and shoes to care for veterans discharged from local hospitals without means was made yesterday by Charles Kohen, chairman of the hospital relief com- mittees of the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He asks that the clothing be sent to him at 606 Thirteenth street north- west. LAWMAKERS CHEER - OPERA CO. DIRECTOR Reception Is Tendered to Albion and Stars at Country Club.

Senator-elect David I. Walsh, of Massachusetts, who will be sworn in today as successor to Senator W. M. Butler, bespeaking a strong interest in the progress of the negro in América, gave the principal address at the open- ing session of the second annual con- vention of the Federated Colored Catholics of the United States yester- day at St. Augustine’s church. He was introduced by Eugene A. Clark, assistant superintendent of public schools. “You are Catholic men and women,” he said, “and your presence here indi- cates you are leaders in the Catholic world and its activities. I want to congratulate you on assuming the duties of leadership, and in banding together that your strength, your solidarity and religious fervor may be made known. “I wonder if you have stopped to think what it means to be leaders, spokesmen, pleaders, fighters. Your work, that of relating the church to the negro problem, is a great honor and privilege. I wish to express my profound and sinceré appreciation of that devotion which has brought you to make the sacrifices you are making to let the church know more about you. “When first I came to the District of Columbia, I knew othing of the ex- tent of Catholicity among colored peo- ple, but here I have met men of great ability, and have been profoundly stirred at the great possibilities of growth and spread of Catholicism among ,people of this race. I want every Catholic in America to know there are such fine colored congrega- tions in our large cities—men and women, proud of their faith, who have numerical strength. devotion to the church, and the ability to overcome trying. and difficult circumstances. “Here in this city, the center of ne- | tional and international life, you men ‘and women of the colored race are evangelists and an inspiration to al) Catholics when they seé negroes turn- ing to Catholicism for the blessings it may afford. It is here your educated leaders have beén produced, by whose ald the negro may advance in thi struggle for those inalienable right: that belong to all humanity. “I always have been proud to be a member of the trustee board of th: Cardinal Gibbons Institute and, now that I am back in the District, I look with pride on the opportunity again tc engage in the work. It is in this con- nection that I have learned that col- ored Americans are broad, are libera) open-minded, humble and sympathetic without a scintilla of bigotry of spirit —and that they possess the great natural virtues on which the faith may be built.” High mass was sung, the Rev. Rob- ert E. Froelich, celebrant, preceding the session. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Norman E. Duckett, col: ored priest of Detroit, former altar boy at St. Augustine’s church. Selections were given by the Community Center band. The convention was welcomed by the Rev. J. E. Olds, who spoke on behalf of unity. T. W. Turner, of Hampton institute, presided. Dr. Albert Ridgeley said the aims of the convention are to devise means of extending the influence of the negro in the Catholic Church, to assist in propagation of the faith among col- ored people, and to plan enlist- ment in the church of many of the 5,000,000 American negroes. re- ported without church connection. W. A.

When only 21 years of age he was chosen from a group of prominent painters to paint what afterward became the favorite portrait of the former kaiser of Ger- many.

A second note, written in pencil and entirely decipherable, was also reported to have been found on the girl’s body, likewise written by Olson and discuss- : Ting plans for a clandestine marriage. The first letter was fund unexpectedly by autopsists, who determined ycster- day that the 22-year-old girl ‘was beaten to death. A searching party discovered the body last Thursday in a shallow grave near Erdman’'s home. The letter may even throw light on the present whereabouts of the boy, missing since September 27. A report that his body had been found in a Chicago morgue, never credited by Crawford county. officials, was dis- proved yesterday,’ and local residents, including the boy's parents, believe him to be alive.

So sensational a factor is it in the case that officials withheld its con- tents until they can question certain witnesses tomorrow. Earll intimated that the letter would shape the theory of some of the principals in the case if it were made public. Erdman was charged with murder before the discovery of the body. A warrant was issued after he fled from Gale college, near here, seventeen days after Clara vanished, and one day after Christ Olson, the girl's father, had threatened his arrest if her whereabouts were not learned. Christ and two of his nine children, several neighbors, Albert Olson, Erd- mnan’s fatber, and his family, and .a dozen others will testify before the coroner tomorrow. Believe Hammer Used. Speculation as to the contents of the letter was rife today throughout the rugged region along the Missis- sippi river in southwestern Wisconsin, where Erdman, Clara and their pros- perous Norwegian parents were known.

4 WORKERS IN UNITED “JEWIOH DANE HOLD PIRITED MEETING Strenuous Efforts Needed to Reach Goal of $150,000, Leaders Declare. ANONYMOUS CHRISTIAN GIVES PAY CHECK OF $33 Statement of Total Raised Will Be Submitted at a Luncheon Tuesday. A spirited rally of workers in the United Jewish campaign was held last night at the Jewish Community center. Leaders in the drive emphasized the need for strenuous efforts during the next few days if Washington is to reach the $150,000 goal by December 9. Chairman Rudolph B. Behrend pre- sided and announced the “outstanding contribution of the campaign,” a $33 pay check from an anonymous Christian giver, a mechanic “who wanted no thanks but who was thankful that he was able to give something toward alleviating the suffering among the Jews of Europe.” Chairman Behrend announced three new $1,000 pledges from Morton J. Luchs, Harry Viner and Young & Simon, attorneys. A statement of total raised to date was deferred until the next luncheon, Tuesday. Message Sent by Golder. Representative Benjamin M. Golder, vice chairman of the Pennsylvania United Jewish drive, who was scheduled to address the rally, was unable to at- tend but send a message to the workers. David L. Frank, major of drive forces, and Jacob Heckman, an active worker in the drive, gave short talks. New York, Dec. 5 (By A. P.).—WJews and Christians, both Catholic and Protestant, joined in a meeting tonight in the cathedral of St. John the Divine in behalf of the American Christian fund for Jewish relief. Bishop William T. Manning, who pre- sided, spoke of the occasion as one “of unusual significance.” “It is the first time,” he said, “that a meeting has been held in this ca- thedral and, so far as I know, the first time a meeting has been held in any Christian cathedral specifically in be- half of the Jewish people.” Maj. Gen. John F. O’Ryan saw in the meeting a practical application of the Christian precept of the golden rule. “If the Christian world were truly Christian, movements similar to this one would be in vogue throughout the world whenever the need existed,”’ he said. McDermott to Face Murder Trial Today Canton, Ohio, Dec. 5 (By A. P.).— Patrick Eugene McDermott, alleged hireling of the underworld in a con- spiracy to murder Don R. Mellett, Can- ton’s crusading publisher, will go on trial for his life here tomorrow, but it will probably be a week before any testimony is heard. Efforts to procure a jury are expected to require at least five days. McDermott probably will go on the stand in his own defense. “He has a story he wants the jury to hear,” his counsel declared. McDermott is one of three indicted for the murder of the publisher. Ben Rudner, Massillon, and Louis Mazer, Canton, codefendants, are to be tried later. Married Teachers Banned by Lexington Special to The Washington Post. Lexington, Ky., Dec. 5-—Women teachers in the Lexington city schools who marry after January 1 next, will have to give up their positions accord- ing to a decision announced today by the board of education. School teachers will not be allowed to have both a husband and a job and the board will leave it up to the teacher as to which is the most desirable. The idea is that a married woman should be supported by her husband and single girls who may be highly competent as teachers and need work might be kept from remunerative employment, unless such a rule was applied. Dr. Robbins Preaches At Calvary Baptist Dr. J. C. Robbins, of New York city, secretary of the American Baptist Pub- lication society, officiated at services of the Calvary Baptist church yester- day morning. The Rev. Dr. W. S. Aber- nethy, pastor of the church, ‘s in Kan- sas City, Mo., where he made the prin- cipal address at the dedication of the new First Baptist church, yesterday. The Senior Christian Endeavor so0- ciety observed the thirty-seventh anni- versary of its founding last night. The Rev. Homer J. Councilor preached the anniversary sermon. Russell Smith, president of the society, presided. The annual father and son banquet of the church will be held Friday. Two Tankers Collide In Delaware River Philadelphia, Dec. 5 (By A. P.).—The tankers Charlies M. Everest and the Lightbourne collided today in the Dela- ware river off Marcus hook during the heavy snowstorm. The Everest’s bow was twisted and her forepeak seams were opened. Damage to the Light- bourne was slight. Both ships were tied up at their re- spective docks tonight. Nebraska Next Host To Student Meeting Ann Arbor, Mich., Dec. 5 (By A. P.).— The University of Nebraska will be host next year to the National Student Federation convention. Selection of Ne- braska was made at the closing session of the organization’s annual meeting here last night. The federation appointed a commit- tee to study fraternities.

The Virginians certainly pep things up and present several good quartet numbers. Tiompkin and Khariton tickle the keys in a style that keeps the house still til it’s over. White and Manning are really good, their comedy dancing is not over done, and we could have had more. In “The Ace of Cads,” Adolphe Men- jou is just his own inimitable self, having the role of a society gentleman who blinds you to the faults of his sonality even while he flaunts them hn your face. The picture is exceptional, full of human interest, heard-rending moments, although not really “big.” It is true to life; full of beautiful women, beautiful gowns, a touch of army life, and the test of friendship and love in the eternal triangle. Chappel Maturin (Menjou) is in- terrupted by his friend Basil de Gram- ercy (Philip Stange), just after he has become engaged to Eleanour Maitland (Alice Joyce). Later, Basil having heavy debts is loaned a large sum by Maturin, and offers to give him a bachelor din- ner. At this affair however, he intro- duces two ladies and has already in- formed Eleanour of the time and place. Of course the party is interrupted and the engagement broken off. Maturin is later dishonorably discharged from the army and for 20 years tries to forget, by touring around spending by degrees all of his fortune. Called back to Lon- don to be told of his depleted finances he again visits the cafe where the bachelor dinner was given. Here, by co- incidence, Maturin meete Joan, the daughter of Eleanour, and becomes her unexpected escort home. Many interest- ing incidents follow on and climax the story at the right place. It is truly a Menjou picture, but still has quite a good bit of Alice Joyce. Norman Trevor is good, and Suzanne Fleming as Joan is most pleasing. International News and an Aesop fable are the added film attractions. A word must be said of the musical ren- dition of the Second Rhapsody by Liszt, by Thomas Gannon and his orchestra. This was exceptionally appreciated by the audiences. It was rendered in that usual artistic manner of the Palace or- chestra and further enhanced by beau- tiful curtain color effects. z RIALTO the famous Don “The Old Soak,” Marquis stage success, makes its pic- torial bow in Washington this week as the feature film at the Rialto theater. James Barr, tenor, and Florence and Darling, harmony singers, are on the stage. Jean Hersholt, pleasantly remem- bered for his work in “Stella Dallas,” comes into his‘own in “The Old Soak,” advancing to stardom and carrying his honors in a modest way. Hersholt has on his shoulders a characterization not unlike that of old “Bill Jones” in “Lightnin’,” made famous by Frank Bacon. Clement Hawley, sr., is truly an “old soak.” And true to the type, there is no ill or evil in him. So when “mother” loses her stock certificates and he is under sus- picion, he follows the usual procedure, leaving home and going to a hotel un-| til the last analysis shows Virtue com- ing to his rescue and vindicating him. Two love stories dominate the play, those of “The Old Soak” and his wife, and of Clem, jr., and his chorus girl sweetheart. June Marlowe is the chorus girl.and the way she straightens out Junior and sets him on the path of strict rectitude again is a work of art in itself. Louise Fazenaa has the part of a maid, and while not at her best in some particulars, manages to get a fair share of the laughs. The usual short features round out the bill. METROPOLITAN a The Metropolitan presents for the week on the screen “The Return of Peter Grimm,” by Belasco, and on the stage Chief Caupolican, Indian bary- tone, formerly of the Metropolitan Opera company of New York. “The Return of Peter Grimm” is a beautiful story and the picturizgtion of it has not cost it one iota of its beauty. The story deals with the age-old question, “Can the dead communicate with the living?” It is retold in this film—as wonderfully as when played by the old master, David Warfleld— except for the spoken word. Chief Caupolican balances well the fine screen attraction. Three numbers are offered by him dressed in native Indian costume. The usual small numbers and a4 “miniature concert” by the theater's Symphony orchestra round out the bill. | GAYETY “What Price Glory,” has hit the town again, this time coming to the Gayety, where it began its gloriously profane course yesterday afternoon. This is the war comedy by Anderson and Stall- ings supposedly well-known to theater- goers by now, but appearing for the first time at a popular priced theater, and judging from the reaction of yes- terday’s crowd, sure of a warm wel- come. Jack Carlyle and James K. Kelly are the two men who take the honors in this drama, playing the now famous roles of Sergt. Quirt and Capt. Flagg. respectively. They fight, drink and make love to the same woman in the course of the three acts. Dolores Sar- dou is the woman, Charmeine, who like Madelon, loves the whole regiment. Around her the greater part of the plot is woven, although she herself has very little to do. In fact this is a man’s show, and there’s nothing in it about love and glory coming to the man who fights, for as far as can be fight. , The lines are full of humor, and are ee enjoyed by the men who had been overseas. The whole cast has been splendidly directed by Ed- ward E. McHuen, and seven of them are members of the original company which played Poli’s last season. All of yesterday’s large audience liked the show, particularly the 75 boys from Walter of Ira La . » guests Motte, manager of the Gayety.

Rosali Stewart presents the Puliizer prize play, ‘‘Craig's Wife,’ a drama by George Kelly, author of ‘‘The Sbow-Off’’ and ‘‘The Torch-Bearers,.”’ Anne Sutherland Josephine Williams Mary Gildea Chrystal Herne Donna Pasdeloup Charles Trowbridge Isabel Irving In his writings for the stage George Kelly has shown a particular knack, possessed by few American playwrights, of getting down deep under the skin of a character. He goes to work some- what like a chemist in a laboratory, his subject under the microscope, twisting and turning it, showing sights discern- there is a perceptible let-down toward Under the powerful glass most of the ridges and runways are exaggerated, to be sure; but they are there none the less. In “Craig's Wife,” the man who wrote “The Torch Bearers” and “The Show- Off,” departs somewhat from his satiri- cal and comedy vein, enters really into'| the field of tragedy. He comes off with a fiying flag, though there are those who may wonderr-why the play won the Pulitzer prize; since sometimes are heard the creaking of machinery—aend there is a perceptible let-down toward the end of the play. Also, an anti- climax; but the prize was probably given not for technique so much as for truism. Whatever its technical faults, ‘Craig's Wife” is potent drama, a play that has some of the essentials of greatness, one that might have been written by a Sudermann or a Shaw. Certainly, if George Kelly is not on the way to be- coming America’s leading playwright, he is fast surpassing his competitors in character creation. He has another play, “Daisy Mayme,” to prove the conten- tion. In the play at the National Mr. Kelly takes as his central character a woman who marries with one idea in mind—to secure for herself a home. That and nothing more. Her husband is merely a necessary adjunct. He pays the Dills. So far as comfort goes, he can not smoke in his own drawing room; never has any of his friends in for an evening at cards or the like; never goes any- where—because the missus won't let him. Of these things he never knows until they are pointed out to him by an old aunt, who reads the character of her own sex and his wife better than he. Miss Chrystal Herne, an actress to her fingertips, contributes an exquisite por- trayal as Harriet Craig. Seldom seen here, there are few actresses on the American stage who have the native ability of this young lady; not any to make of this study what she has done. So that really the work of George Kelly, the author, is completely shunted into the background, at least while she is on stage. There is fine blending here of two arte—acting and play- wrighting. The tragedy is relieved by comely comedy, humorous situations that arise now and then in every home; and especially in the house of a woman like Mrs. Craig. So that the deep un- dertone is not always vibrant. There are beautiful bite offered by Isabel Irving, as the lady who lives next door to the Craigs; by Josephine Harold, playing the housekeeper, and by Charles Trowbridge, who acts perfectly the man who must put up with all the machinations of a woman entertaining such ideas as those harbored by his wife—Mrs. Creig. To make of something unlovely and ugly a thing of beauty is no small task approaching as it does the highest art —and this Miss Chrystal Herne does with the character entrusted to her; a rare old cameo her Mrs. Craig.

Stoddard and Gorney—"“Miss Happiness’’—took the stage at Mr. Poli’s popular Avenue house and made the rafters ring with pleasant music, a thread of a story and a bit of applause seldom shown by first nighters. “Nanette” has been shoved into the file of “past greats;” “Yvette,” who re- cently astounded us, is headed for the high lights and the phonograph discs— and now this “Miss Happiness,” of which the title suggests but a vague idea of the presentation, is headed Gothamward and to frame. The story of “Miss Happiness” is mediocre enough and is somewhat dis- connected—there are dances at odd times, bits of plot here and there and a variety of singing. but the plot doesn't have that definite something which characterized other recent efforts of this sort. There is dialogue, to be sure—and there is humor, including two ““sap’’ detectives—but the climax and denouement are as unnecessary KEITH’S To be the favorite son of Broadway should be sufficient perhaps for any one man, but none the less that de- scription of Frank Fay is too limiting. Mr. Fay disports himself as the master of ceremonies and does his own acts at Keith’s theater again this week and he closed the show last night with some of his audience seemingly on the verge of hysteria from laughter with none immune to the fun of himself and his assistants. The latter. incidentally, are good enough to take several cur- tain calls on their own most any time. The Lockfords, Naro and Zita, with Paul Tisen’s orchestra, and Valerie Bergere and her company in “Chinese Compensation,” a dramatic playlet, and other acts on the bill this week, crowd the evening with a variety of more than pleasing entertainment. The Lockfords, featured dancers, dis- play some remarkable dancing with an effective setting and food music by Tisen and his musicians. The orches- tra, it might be said, in passing, is com- posed of strings and is not the usual type. It played well and pleased the audience. Valerie Bergere's offering is the story of the revenge of a Chinese woman whose daughter and husband were driven to their deaths by the faithless- ness Of an American man, whom she, in turn, ruins in New York sixteen years later, when he is at the height of success. ‘ Miss Bobby Adams, who is billed as parsanatity plus,” and is assisted at the piano by Johnny Wright, does her songs in her own way and gets them over. The Sarattos, gymnasts; Charles Derickson, tenor, and Burton Brown, pianist, and Herberta Beeson, who pleases with her dances on a wire, all go to make up a bill which sweeps along fast and pleasantly, linked to- gether by Mr. Fay’s idiocies as master of ceremonies. There are the usual supplemental features, such as Aesop’s or the Newreel and Topics of the EARLE | Another good bill holds the boards at the Earle this week. Headlining a long show is “The Spotlight Revue,” featur- ing the a eight, peppy girls, and oy ova -Lyte and Eddie Prizmz. Mullane and Ghreta were well received. ; The gymnastic offeri of the DuBois trio is about the best of its kind shown The film ap en led week is " era Reyn- Zazu Pitts, Ethe and unexpected as one might reason- ably be led to look forward to. But there’s the music, especially a song or two that stand above the others, notably “That's Happiness,” which is destined to bring joy to the night club. ballad singers, and the two smart numbers—"Liberty Belle’’ and “Blue Print Blues”—~- which have just enough umpah in them to appeal to the folk who go in for that sort of thing. William Gaxton, the leading man, is much better than musical comedy lead- ing men generally are. He has a pleas- ant voice both in dialogue and in sing- ing parts. Mabel Withee is the prima donna and she does nobly by the part. Peggy Hope, last seen hereabouts with Hal Skelly in a 20-minute turn, won the house with her interpretation of Mary. She dahces admirably. Arthur West and May Boley supply the comedy in a convincing manner—especially the male member of this team. The cast is ex- cellent, all told, and incorporates in its array some of the finest talent paraded hereabouts thug far this season. The chorus, which warmed up in the latter part of the show, could be improved upon, however. And, now, to sum up the presenta- tion: It ranks favorably with the best musical comedies—and what it lacks in plot it makes up for in excellent danc- ing, comedy and melody—a veritable potpourri of entertainment dished into one sparkling presentation which will bring joy to the provinces when the road companies get it. All told, a good, clean offering and one worthy of a year in the big town. g COLUMBIA | —| Another week of “Stella Dallas’ at the Columbia may well be too short. to admit all who want to see it, for the reputation of the picture as one of the masterpieces of recent years has been confirmed and approved by last week’s attendance. Like most highly emotional film, it tells a story thet appears rather overdrawn under cold analysis, but it is acted so admirably and is directed so perfectly in the de- talls of incident and atmosphere that the most hard-shelled of critics scarce- ly will be able to resist its appeal. Stella Dallas is a mother, incurably vulgar and flashy, who gives up her last hold on pride and self-respect to advance the happiness of her daugh- ter, and give her a place in the dif- ferent world to which the girl’s father belongs. Belle Bennett draws a remark- able portrait of this sacrificing mother who can not escape from herself. Even more memorable, though less conspicuous in the story, is the play- ing of Alice Joyce as the woman to whom Stella yields her place as mother, and whose refinement is contrasted with Stella’s crudity. Lois Moran, too, as the daughter, places herself among the stars. Ronald Colman as the hus- band and father, and Douglas Fair- banks, jr., as the young lover, do ex- cellent work. But it is mainly a play of three women. News pictures and the overture by the Columbia orchestra complete the program, in view of the length of the feature film. STRAND The Strand’s permanent cast of 22 performers has been well cast this week in “Whirl of Variety,” a syncopated, satirical revue in ten scenes, personally supervised by Victor Hyde. The entire company takes part in the opening number, “Spotless Town.” Ivan B. Hamp again tops the big cast as the head of the laugh provokers, which in- cludes Lew Lewis, Earl Root, Beatrice Jamieson, Justine Gray, Leo Stevens and Rush and Butler. Hamp is a riot as the sap in “The Hold Up,” which is only one of the clever comedy skits he puts over. Alice Typman, a local miss, sings two solos, “Say Nothing at All” and “Pre- cious,” with the Follies Bergere girls furnishing clever dances in the chorus. Mr. Root sings “His Ideal of a Girl.” The Follies Bergere girls do more of their clever dances, acrobatics and clever Scotch songs and maneuvers mado quite a hit. The photoplay presentation is “Fools of Fashions,” which stars Mae Busch, Marceline Day and Theodore Von Eltz, and tells of the trials of a newlywed couple who try to adapt themselves to the better things of life on a small income. Director Manvell and the boys of the Strand orchestra keep the folks laugh- ing with their comedy overture. “A Motor Trip,” which takes the folks on an imaginary motor ride through the country with all the mishaps and fun that goes along with it. a For those who see the Frivolties of 1927, which opened a week’s engage- ment at the Mutual yesterday there are numerous surprises and a good time in store. This burlesque can not be stamped as merely funny. It is more than that. It is a burlesque at which one can laugh loud and heartily and can come out of the theater feeling that he has gotten his money's wofth. Art Gardner and Harry Meyers, the comics, are top-notchers in their line. They produced a laugh at every ap- pearance upon the stage. It didn't matter whether they sang, joked, or just stood still. Their mannerisms pro- voked laughter. The censored scene—‘The Wrong Suit’—brought forth a howl of laugh- ter. The censor, however, was part of the scene despite the reality of the act- ing. Danny Jacobs, Roy Butler, Alice Richey, Bee Belle, and Helen Davis, the other leads, together with the chorus, were all that one could wish. They were a lively group, singing and dancing with snap. The scenes entitled “At the Stage Door,” “The Country Girl,” and “The Lovers of Cleo” were among the best in the show.

TOTAL PAYMENTS FIXED AT 1,166,904,574 MARKS Budget Figures Show Grow- ing Expenditures for Relief of Unemployment on Reich. Berlin, Dec. 5 (By A. P.).—-Germany is making loyal and punctual payments in full from her own resources in con- formity with the Dawes reparation plan, Seymour Parker Gilbert, jr., agent gen- eral for reparation payments, announces in the annual report made public to- day. The report says that execution of the plan proceeded normally during the second annuity year. Distribution to the creditor powers was carried out regularly without diffi- culty. It was apparent, says the report, that during the second annuity year German ecohomy passed through a try- ing period of readjustment, which, be- ginning in the first annuity year, reach- ed proportions of a serious business crisis by the winter of 1925-26. One of the most important events has been an arrangement for the settle- ment of two supplementary budget contributions by means of a lump-sum payment of 300,000,000 gold marks dur- ing the third annuity year. Payments received from Germany during the period from September Il, 1925, to August 31, 1926, included the interest on German railway bonds amounting approximately to 550,000,- 000 gold marks, budgetary contribu- tions, 250,000,000; interest on industial debentures, 125,000,000, and transport tax, 241,000,000, totaling in exact terms 1,166,904,574 gold marks. Transfer of Funds Reported. The report shows that during the first two years the experts’ plan for the transfer of reparation payments made possible the complete transfer of funds available for distributing, aggregating approximately 1,269,000,000 gold marks, of which 1,176,000,000 was transfered. By the plan for the transfer of repar- ation deliveries in kind and reparations under the recovery act the payments were regulated so as to eliminate dif- ficulties with foreign. exchange. The. plan provides that the transfer com- mittee controls cash transfer to the creditor governments by the purchase of foreign exchanges. The share of the United States of the distributed reparation payments in the second annuity year amounted to 33,949,000 gold marks, including an ac- cumulated talance carried over from the first year amounting to 15,308,000 gold marks. The United States government re- ceived during the year the dollar equivalent of 14,859,000 gold marks as a cash transfer and also 10,032,000 gold marks in the dollar equivalent due to a special arrangement with the German government analagous to financing de- liveries in kind, with a balance of §.058,000 remaining at the ending of the year on the books of the agent general to the credit of the United ' statement on the German budgets, in- States. The report contains the first reliable formation on which heretofore has not been obtainable. The German budget, it shows, is remaining sound as to balance, though the necessity of inter- nal borrowing is considered possible. The new tax program is proving en- couragingly productive. The experience of the past year, however, suggests the need of greater moderation in expendi- tures. The German budget figures show a mounting scale for unemployment re- lief, calling for 490,000,000 reichmarks in the estimates for 1926-27. It is ob- served that so long as unemployment continues at approximately the present high level it will be a significant budget problem. The French and Belgian contracts submitted to the transfer committee during the period from September 1, 1925, to August 31, 1926, totaled 2,559 and 1,091, respectively, valued at 262,- 000,000 and 50,000,000 reichmarks, re- spectively. They were mainly for coal and by-products, iron, steel gnd other metals, machinery, lumber, horses, cat- tle and sheep. Other countries also re- ceived substantial miscellaneous deliv- erles in kind. The report demonstrates how the ex- perts’ plan succeeded in establishing loyalty and a friendly understanding, and expresses the opinion that in the process of stabilization, reconstruction and recovery the turning point in the reconstruction of all of Europe has now been reached. Woman Killed Pushing Car From Crossing Newport News, Va., Dec. 5 (By A. P.). Trying to push a car in which she had been riding, from the rails at a cross- ing before the arrival of a C. & O. freight train, Mrs. Ben Hatchett, of Fort Eustis, Va. was fatally injured when the train crashed into the car, hurling the woman and the automobile from ti.e tracks. Mrs. Hatchett died about three hours later, after having beei1. rushed to the Fort Eustis hos- pital, not far distant. Eyewitnesses say Mrs. Hatchett, who was a passenger in the car with two other women, got out to push the car when it stalled upon the tracks. The trein was seen by the other women, who left the automobile. Heedless of their warning, Mrs. Hatchett is said to havé continued in her effort to save the car.

WAS WORLD WAR FIGURE Giverny, Department of Eure, France, Dec. 5 (By A. P.).—Claude Monet, fa- mous artist and dean of French nature depicters, died at his home here today. His lifelong friend Georges Clemenceau was at his bedside and was so overcome that he refused to see reporters and sought the seclusion of his own bed- room. M. Monet was one of the former pre- mier’s few intimates, and it is said of him that he did much to uphold Cle- menceau’s morale during the more try- ing periods of the world war. Claude Monet was born in Paris No- vember 14, 1840. His principal works were views of picturesque places and cathedrals of France. After serving. as a soldier in Africa until middle age, Monet suffered the hardships of poverty. He returned to his painting. having previously studied under Gleyre, but the critics scorned his work. He kept on painting his land and seascapes, missing meals out of sheer emptiness of pocket and letting tobacco solace his stomach. Almost 40 years ago, when he was selling his paintings for what he could get, a Japanese ironmaster, visiting Europe, saw some of them and looked up Monet. He gave the artist a check for 250,000 yen (approximately $125,- 000) and told him to deliver paintings until he thought he had given value for the money. From that on Monet’s reputation was made. His works are scattered through- out the world, including the Widener and Morgan collections in the United States. He is particularly noted for his paintings of Mediterranean and channel scenes, the Cathedrals of France, the Thames at London as well as for his studies of flowers. ALABAMA GOVERNOR EVADES DRY TRIAL Physically Impossible to Ap- pear in Answer to Charges, Brandon Declares. Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 5 (By A. P.).— Gov. W. W. Brandon of Alabama will not be in court at Bay Minette, Ala., tomorrow morning to answer charges of violation of the prohibition law of the State, he told the Associated Press tonight in a long distance telephone conversation. “I did not receive any notice to be at court,” Gov. Brandon said. He was wanted to answer charges growing out of a raid on McQueen's Hunting camp, near Bay Minette, when f% is alleged by officers liquor was found. Gov. Brandon delivered the principal address today at the Elks memorial service in Jackson, Tenn., and left to- night for his home in Alabama. “It, would be a physicel impossibility to be in court at Bay Minette tomor- row morning,” the governor said. “Be- sides I could not have been there had I been served with notice, because of this previous engagement.” DURESS IS CHARGED IN HUNGARIAN POLL Imprisonment and Prevention of Free Speech in Election Laid to Premier. Vienna, Austria, Dec. 5 (By A. P.).— Although the elections in Hungary do not begin until December 8, the Arbeiter Zeitung says that Count Beth- len, the Hungarian premier, “either by imprisoning, expelling, prevent- ing free speech or hindering op- position members from entering elec- tion wards,” already has made certain of the election of a great many of his supporters. The paper announces that he has won by acclamation 169 out of 199 seats for government or coalition members in constituencies where the voting is done orally. The Arbeiter Zeitung recalls that the aged Count Albert Apponyi, former foreign minister, and Count Andrassy, former premier of Hungary, last week declared publicly that “government methods in Hungary are beyond any- thing known in Europe.” Lack of Executioner Wins Prisoner a Stay i reenenere.

STRESEMANN SOUNDS WARNING TO ALLIES On Eve of Council Session, Declares Suspicion Is Ex- asperating Nation. Geneva, Switzerland, Dec. 5 (By A. P.).—A serious snag has been reached in the political reconstruction of Eu- rope over the momentous problem of security against war as between France and her allies and Germany. Whether the movement for European reconcilla- tion will go forward or backward is be- lieved to depend on the outcome of the December session of the council, open- ing tomorrow. Germany, represented by Gustav Stresemann, her foreign minister, has come to Geneva grieved that, despite the Locarno treaty and the reich’s entry into the League of Nations, the allies still maintain 80,000 troops in the Rhineland and still insist on interallied control of German armaments. Would Limit League. Germany wants allied control aban- doned and is willing to substitute the right of investigation of German arma- ments by the league, provided such control does not offend German pres- tige. On their part the allies, especially France, are worried over Germany's po- tential war strength, due to her great population and the excessive activity of German associations which are organiz- ing German manhood along alleged military lines. France deems the supreme question that of security of her future genera- tions against German aggression. It is understood, Dr. Stresémann maintained, that he had been promised at Locarno and Thoiry that the allied occupation would be reduced to 45,000, which was the strength of the German garrisons on the west front before the war. Sees Treaty Exceeded. Germany's representative admitted that the questions of interallied con- trol and the right of investigation by the league were two distinct matters, but insisted that allied control had been imposed on Germany over and above the treaty of Versailles, and ought to be abolished. M. Briand made it clear that control was still in the hands of the Ambassa- dors’ council and contended that the general attitude toward Germany was based on good will and good intentions, adding: “Undoubtedly, if the impres- sion existed that our attitude was vexa- tious, oppressive or tyrannical, it would cause misunderstanding.” Tt is believed that Sir Austen Cham- ‘berlain is trying to have allied control | merged into the league’s right to inves- tigate German armaments. Elaboration of further Franco-Ger- man economic and financial accords, begun at the Thoiry conversations, has apparently been relegated to the back- ground pending an agreement on the problems of security, evacuation and military control. Fears Loss of Support. Dr. Stresemann said today that Ger- many was becoming exasperated at the allied suspicion and hesitancy to treat Germany on a basis of equality, now that she has submitted herself to the fabric of the League of Nations. He was also apprehensive of the crumbling of the political groups in the reichstag which have heretofore been backing him unreservedly. Seven foreign ministers have arrived in Geneva, and secret conferences can be held outside of the council cham- ber. The ministers are Dr. Stresemann, Germany; M. Briand, France; Sir Aus- ten Chamberlain, Great Britain; M. | Vandervelde, Belgium; M. Zaleski, Po- land; Dr. Eduard Benes, Czechoslovakia, and Jonkheer von Karnebeek, Holland. The much-talked-of meeting with Premier Mussolini of Italy seems doubt- ful, though Dr. Stresemann may go to Italy after the council. Prince Undaunted By Ottawa Weather Ottawa, Dec. 5 (By A.

Se FIGHT TO UNSEAT oTEGK PREDICTED FROM (OWA Distribution of Attorney’s Fees Allowed in Senate Inquiry Basis of Charge. ATTACK NAMES ZUMBRUNN ee ae ee Se Des Moines, Iowa, Dec. 5 (By A. P.). The Des Moines Register tomorrow will say that Senator H. D. Stephens, (Dem.), of Mississippi, probably will introduce into the United States Senate a resolution asking that Senator Dan Steck, of Iowa (Dem.), be unseated. The newspaper states its information comes from local Democrats, not named, who are “admittedly opposed to Steck,” The resolution, the Register says, is based on an alleged improper distribution of funds given Senator Steck by the Senate” for attorney's fees in the election contest decided in his favor last spring.” James M. Parsons, Des Moines attor- ney, who acted as chief counsel for Senator Steck, filed suit for his ex- penses and attorney's fees last July, claiming that his services were reason- ably worth $10,000. About $5,000 was received by Parsons. The suit is pend- ing in District Court at Ottumwa, Iowa. Senator Stephens, credited by the newspaper as the solon who has been prevailed upon to introduce the pro- posed resolution, was one of eight Democrats who voted against seating Steck last April when the Senate sub- committee on elections returned a re- port recommending unseating of Sen- ator Smith W. Brookhart, Republican, in favor of Steck. The Mississippi senator is a member of the Senate committee on privileges unseat Senator Steck probably would be referred, if offered. | Of the $15,000 received by Senator | Steck for attorney fees, %5,000, Register says, went to Attorney Will- iam Zumbrunn, Washington, D. C., of the senator’s counsel. Yacht Club and Dock Apartment Features New York, Dec. 5 (By A.

Monday, December 6, 1926. CONGRESS AND POLITICS. Between today and March 4 it is a certainty ‘that American political history will be both - made and forecast by the events in Congress. The Americans to answer to their own satisfaction three months’ session may enable ‘the question that is in all minds—Is Mr. Cool- ‘idge a candidate for reelection, and if so, does he possess such influence as to be able to com- ‘mand the Republican party to renominate him? While Mr. Coolidge’s popularity throughout “the country is at its height, the recent election owas anything but encouraging to the Repub- ‘lican party. Seven Republican senators were «defeated, and the ascendancy of that party in ‘the Senate in the next Congress now depends ‘upon the regularity of Republicans . whose * tendencies are persistently irregular. : During the present session the influence ‘of President Coolidge over his party will be ‘ subjected to several severe tests. Any demon- - stration of impaired influence would peculiarly ‘affect Mr. Coolidge’s prestige, because it would -immediately induce ambitious Republicans in ‘ Congress to thwart him in the hope of making , for the party to select another ~it necessary *nominee in 1928. There are Republicans who ‘would be delighted ‘to be included in the list .of available candiates, but they will not show their heads if Mr. Coolidge should dominate | .the. party during this session. Two questions in particular may be the “means of testing Mr. Coolidge’s strength in «Congress. The first is his plan for returning “part of the Treasury surplus to taxpayers by «permitting them to deduct a percentage of -the payments to be made in March and June, ©1927. This plan is already openly opposed by ‘some leading Republicans in Congress, as well “as by all Democrats, and other Republicans -are known to be ready to oppose the plan if that They would like to see “they can be assured their opposition would be effective. “Mr. Coolidge beaten, but they will not take «the lead in attacking his plan. * Senator Simmons and his Democratic col- vleagues have appealed to the Republicans to «join in a ‘“‘nonpartisan’’ movement to enact “law which will actually reduce taxation, in- sstead of merely remitting temporarily a part ‘of the taxes unnecessarily collected. But there sis nothing nonpartisan in’ the Democratic pro- ‘posal. Republicans will not accept it, because -by so doing they would be accepting Demo- “cratic leadership in tax legislation. The Re- *publicans will have remedies of their, own. -The danger to the taxpayer is that so many ‘plans will be forthcoming that none of them Will be adopted. . Until a few days ago a still greater obstacle sto tax relief loomed in the shape of the cot- » ton-corn combination effected at St. Louis -under the skillful generalship of Frank O. «Lowden. Politicians take it for granted that *“Gov.Lowden is a candidate for the Presidency -and is organizing a western revolt that will -make Mr. Coolidge’s nomination inadvisable. . By enlisting the support of cotton States in «the plan of the corn States for farm relief, it “appears probable that a bill could be forced sthrough Congress and put up to Mr. Coolidge *to approve or disapprove, after he had opposed ‘its passage. This bill, if enacted, would have "required such a draft from the Treasury as *to make tax relief impossible. The surplus -would have been mortgaged to farm relief. * , ‘the cotton and corn States. ‘stress of partisanship. sits demands. . _President Coolidge lost no time in coming to “the relief of the cotton States. His energetic “and comprehensive action has practically dis- {posed of the cotton crisis. There is no longer “any sound reason for a combination between The St. ‘Louis «compact will probably fall: apart under’ the But the disaffection ‘in Western Republican States still lives and ‘burns, and political strategy of the highest vorder must be exercised if this disaffection ts ito be allayed while at the. same time denying : £ / Some of the strong Republicans. in Congress President Coolidge, and creating a situation pregnant with political consequences. In the meantime the admirers of Mr: Cool- idge have the satisfaction of knowing that no one in any party has proved to be his equal in political strategy. . | CHINA FOR THE CHINESE. Events of great moment are developing an unprecedented situation in China. The Can- ton government is extending its jurisdiction rapidly as the Cantonese armies spread north- ward. It is said to be a bolshevist government, supported by the Russian soviet. Undoubtedly it is a new kind of Chinese government, against which foreign jafluence seems to be feeble indeed. Its slogan is ‘“‘China for the Chinese.”’ Apparently its acceptance of aid and comfort from the Russians is shrewd op- portunism, and when its objects are gained it may prove to be as impervious to Russian in- fluence as it is to that of the west. Taken aback by the demonstration of Chinese solidarity in the shape of the Canton movement, the British and Japanese govern- ments are moving with extreme caution. It would tiot be surprising to see them soon rec- ognizing and dealing with the new regime as the supreme government of China instead of attempting to destroy it by encouraging the northern Chinese ‘‘war lords’’ to carry on the war. If the Cantonese can keep up the pace they have made, it would require enormous efforts on the part of Japan, Great Britain and France to make resistance effective. Probably it would involve all those nations in war. If the Cantonese can keep up the pace that David Lloyd George warns the British government that England will not support it in a war in China. He holds that the Can- tonese are fighting for the establishment of Chinese rights over China; that they are not under soviet domination; and that foreign governments would make a fatal mistake to oppose this movement. The United States is not taking any part in the politics of China. It is confining its ac- tivities to the protection of American life and property. ‘It shares with other governments «the opinion that it is too soon to abandon ex- traterritorial rights guaranteed by treaty, but there is little doubt that if China should ter- minate all foreign treaties as they expire, the United States would not interpose any strenu- ous objection. Notice that these treaties will be terminated has been given by Chu Chao- Hsin, Chinese representative at the league of nations. His notice is reinforced by the fact that China has already given notice of the termination of the treaty with Belgium and has refused to submit to the world court the interpretation of the treaty. China holds that the controversy is political and not juridical. and that it is competent to conduct its own foreign affairs. Americans cherish the hope that from all this turmoil will emerge a single stable re- publican government in China, devoted solely to the interests‘of the Chinese people, and en- tirely independent of foreign governments. The United States can well afford to:take its chances with sucha govermment. There is no reason to fear that American interests would suffer if China should establish a government of, by, and for the Chinese people. Pra DRY RAIDS IN CLEVELAND. It must have looked for a while last Thurs- day night that the gunman’s millennium had arrived at Cleveland. It seems that the Ohio prohibition law contains a clause which permits villages and townships on the outskirts of large cities to form roving dry raiding squads whose jurisdiction extends beyond their own-township or village. Squads of this sort had been active in Cleveland, and in many instances apparently had overlooked the formality of obtaining first a search warrant empowering them to enter the residence under suspicion. So prevalent had the custom become that the safety director of Cleveland was waited on by a committee of citizens protesting against the violation of their homes at any hour of the day or night. The safety director was quick to take up the challenge, issuing an order to the police of Cleveland to arrest any prohibition agent found entering a home without a proper search war- rant, and advising persons whose homes were raided to call headquarters immediately so that police might be dispatched to see that the papers were in order. Whereupon, in answer, ethe secretary of the dry maintenance league ordered his agents to arreet any and all police interfering with any dry raiding activities. The law-abiding element of Cleveland must have had fearful dreams that night of every- body arresting everybody else. The State pro- hibition inspector came to the rescue, however, by ordering his 25 inspectors and their as- sistants to conduct no more raids on private homes until the validity of the $25,000 verdict received some time previously by State Senator Bender from State Prohibition Inspector Pat- rick because of an alleged unlawful raid on the former’s home, had been decided by the State supreme court. It is certain that this court will rule, as have all others, that a raid is un- ‘lawful without a proper search warrant, and Cleveland can rest easier without the prospect of gunmen overrunning a city whose police- men have all been put in jail. INVESTING IN CORPORATIONS. New corporation issues for Noyember total- ing more than $271,500,000 again testify to the unprecedented activity of American in- vestments in corporations. During the last eleven months it is stated with authority that more than $3,250,000,000 of American money have been invested in domestic corporations. This is some $109,000,000 more than in the same period of 1925. The amount of money invested in corporations by the American public this year will exceed the total income of the Federal government. . A striking feature of these large investments is the ease with which capital is obtained. Cor- poration bonds bear an average of 4% per cent, and the bonds sell around 97 and 98, This is-almost as good a rate for money as the government obtains for loans. -When corpora- tions, can borrow money from. the public at around 4% per cent it is sure proof that con- thus yielding the investor about 4% per cent. ee a TT oS: * °F i“ ¥ 7 Pat, . or’ ae ee ae ie hes: ~ ) cy re eee Mg. ae e : o , 7 . ; r . . pa sal. aa R - Soin , seus oy ' ments. Furthermore, a large percentage of | | these investments is placed on the installment plan, just as merchandise is sold. Every citizen who thus: becomes an investor in American corporations is a pillar supporting | experiments. Those who on moderate incomes are able to save something can, by investing | in American corporations. yielding a certain | 43, per cent interest, gradually become capi-,| talists. This personal interest in corporations | and capital is a check against financial fancies | and follies, and helps to stabilize industry. Corperations can float large volumes of securities at a low rate of interest because the loaning public is composed of large and small capitalists, who have found that holdings in. well-managed corporations are the best kind of investment. J MR. HULL'S SUGGESTION. Representative Cordell revenue matters may be finally to be operative three months before the time | the end of the fiscal year. should be based on the requirements of the Treasury each year. Mr. Hull thinks that ‘this will end the frequent dickering about an- nual tax refunds and other tax experiments.’’ This suggestion involves what might be called a stabilization of tax legislation, a hori- zontal increase or decrease, something like the attempts to settle the tariff question by a hori- zontal reduction. This was once called “tariff’’ reform.” It was a lazy way to solve a difficult problem. It is easy to see that an annual horizontal increase or decrease by Congress of the inter- nal revenue laws would be both hazardous and unsatisfactory. Such a method could not pos- sibly be adjusted with any degree of fairness or justice. Neither will it. be possible to meet the requirements of the Treasury by simply making a horizontal reduction of so much per cent, each vear. Meeting the tax situation in this manner would end in turmoil, by making the payrments of the tax uncertain and variable. While internal revenue taxes should be ad- justed according to the needs of the Treasury, changes should be made in such manner as to insure equality of taxation and the smallest degree of business disturbance. It would have been impossible during the last five years to adjust direct taxes equitably by the simple method of a horizontal reduction all along the line. SHOP EARLY, MAIL EARLY. On the assumption that the appeal of the newspapers and merchants‘of Washington will intluce buyers to ‘do their shopping early,’’ Postmaster Mooney is prepared to dd his part. The early shopper will/find that Uncle Sam, as personated in William Mooney, is ready for _the rush and it will not be his fault if Christ- mas packages markeg ‘“‘not to be opened before Christmas” are delayed in reaching their desti- nations. Not only has every possible prepara- tion been made to expedite the outgoing mails, but the postmaster has arranged for the em- ployment of an army of extra carriers. Al- ready there have been recruited 350 extra “‘postmen,”’ besides some 400 clerks and dis- tributors. Further than this, Mr. Mooney has announc- ed that he has made arrangements to handle an enormous mass of Christmas cards in such a way as to assure delivery on the Wednesday before Yuletide, if the senders will but follow his suggestions. All such cards may be de- ‘posited in the postoffice at any time from now on. They will be sorted and assigned to the carriers for delivery, but will not be sent to the homes of those for whom they are intended until December 22. But all such greetings which the senders may desire to be thus held must be sent to the city postoffice or any of the substations. If card senders will remember this suggestion they may be assured that their greeting cards will reach those to whom they are addressed at exactly the right time. The Washington postoffice was never better prepared for the Christmas rush than it is today. ® Do your shopping early, and be just as prompt in getting into the mails that portion of your purchases as you wish Uncle Sam to handle. He will do the rest. RED TAPE VS. HUMAN LIFE. When one recalls the remarkable record of the devil-dogs and their devotion to duty, it sounds strange to be told that one of them today faces a court-martial if he. persists in ai attempt io save a human life. A young woman lies critically ill in a Louisville hos- pital, and the physicians announced that only a blood transfusion would make her recovery possible. Tests made of the blood of members of the family showed it to be unsuitable, and an appeal was made to the marines stationed in that city. All volunteered, and J. G. Moore was selected as best equipped for the sacrifice. Right here, however, the unyielding regula- tions of the Navy Department step in to pro- hibit this humane act. The commandant of the division announced that the blood tests were made in violation of regulations and said no marine could offer his blood without a spe- cial permit from Washington. Naturally. that meant unrolling a lot of red tape and delay that may prove fatal to the patient. The com- mandant stated the offer of the marine to give up his blood was a noble act, but in the same breath gave warning that if he did so he would face a court-martial. The young woman ‘is dying, Moore is ready to go on if permitted. but Washington, according to all reports, re- mains silent. © ee ‘cae = There may be some reason for regulations that prohibit an act of this sort, but it will be difficult to convince the civilian of its necessity. The surrender of a pint of blood possibly might incapacitate a leatherneck for a few days, but. where a human life is at stake, it loss of services without crippling the effec- tiveness of the service.

Fears that the automotive industr: is overdeveloped are set at rest by a statement from a Chicago expert, says the Cleveland Times. “There are more prospective automo- bile owners in the cotintry today,” he says, “than there are cars registered. More families can afford two cars today than were able to buy one car ten years ago.” That is probably true. Automobiles are becoming as necessary as bathtubs, and multiplying more rapidly. Back in 1921 the experts thought the “saturation point” was near. There were then about 10,000,000. automobiles in the United States. The number has doubled since. The Chicago man believes the number will deuble again in the next 15 years. That prospect is enough to keep the manufacturers busy and strain their present facilities before long, The: time is approaching, too, when if there were no more growth in the total mo- tor car registration, the industry would be kept fully occupied with the manu- facture of spare parts and the replace- ment of old cars. ie4 TOO MANY CAKE EATERS.

I'll take you home in Audrey’s limousine, if you don't mind riding in the front seat. It’s too warm to walk.” “All right,” she said. She waited, her heel caught on the | until Morton | * lower rail of the gate, reappeared, at the wheel of his daugh- ter's heavy inclosed car. He helped her to her seat, and they drove out Six- teenth street. The girl's eyes glinted. “Take me that way,” she said, pointing in the direc- tion she and Parrish once had taken, together. Morton complied. She told him the course, and, without questioning her, he drove until they reached the street of straggling houses, where she and Parrish had come to blows. “Will you pull up under that tree?” she asked.” He did so. “Now tell me why?” he asked. “Your bright young son-in-law and her } I parked here, once,” she told him, “and I thought it would be such a’ romantic spot for you and me to rest | a while.” She spoke lightly, for there | was no mirth in her tone. “An intriguing spot,”’ he said. “‘Now, | ably. “You have been thinking of two or three things. It has occurred to you to put me in an unpleasant situation. Isn’t that the idea?” “You bet it is—and I'll do it, too,” she said. : “It can’t be done, my dear.” His voice was cool and pleasant. “Don't try it. Let’s think things over. For in- stance, you may have thought of an- nouncing our engagement.”. “Yes—but I gave that up.” “And very wise of you, too—it puts a girl in such an absurd situation when the man denies the betrothal. Now what else would there be? We've scarce- ly been alone together in Washington, except for a few minutes at a time, until I took you back to your father’s.” “But we were alone together in Phil- adelphia,” she said, triumphantly. “Just what I was leading up to. And how would you use that? Tell your father that Harry Morton, respected citizen, was on a bit of a private jaunt with you, to a strange town? And he would immediately see to it that Mor- ton made good with you, with a license and a clergyman and a plain platinum ring?” He refilled his pipe, which ne | had carried, clenched in his teeth, since they started. “Did you think of that! plan?” The girl drew away from him. ‘“Well— | suppose I do tell him you went with me!” “So it did occur to you,” he observed. “I think you'd best not try it.” The girl threw back her head and laughed, rather wildly. “Yes, it occur- red to me—and I'll do it; too!” “Don’t he urged. “You see, my dear, forty-five years, now. I'll run my chances with bad women, if necessary, but never with ignorant 'ittle girls.”’ He lighted his pipe carefully. “So,”” he resumed,” “when I went to Philadelphia, I took your father along with me.” The girl’s hands rose to her temples “My father!” she gasped. “Yes, your father.”” Morton adjusted himself so he could cross his knees. “You underestimate your father, my dear. I told you that I knew him, if you remember—and do you recall that I stopped at another hotel?” “You're a devil!’ Her eyes were round, and her hands were pressed hard against the sides of her head. “Not a devil at all. I merely wanted to protect an inexperienced lively girl against herself. Your father enjoyed the trip immensely, I believe—he said he was lonesome, with you and ‘your | €6 “You're ai devil,’’ Marcie said. Her hands were pressed against her cheeks. Audrey to hear—about her handsome rich father, and his doings in her own home!” As Morton looked at the girl, it seem- ed for a moment as if her ears were laid fiat back against her head, after the fashion of an angry cat. The man’s voice was curiously gentle as he spoke again. “Don’t act so, my child! You are a lovely, little thing— people turn in the street to watch you pass. Don’t do spiteful, hard, ugly things, and write lines in your face with them! Don’t Marcie—don’t spoil your life!” Her chin sank, and she lifted her | hands, pressing them together on her bosom, “No man ever treated me the way you | Daily Cross-Word Puzzle have done!” she said. Her voice caught. “Tell me what I’ve done,’ he urged her “Every other man I've been with | has liked me—has treated me with respect—”"’ “Try again,’ he said. “That isn't what | | you mean.” She looked away into the distance. | That wasn’t | what I meant.”’ She struggled for words | to frame her thought. “Other men and | I suppose you're right. boys have been delighted to have me notice them, and have done whatever I | Even John Parrish | did—he’d have run away with me, be-| wanted them to. fore long, if I had wanted him to. But you—” one time you looked at me as if I were | just an interesting bug. And that’s the way you do act!” Once more they were coming toward Marcie’s home. Morton slackened the pace of his car to a crawl. “My dear,”” he said, “you've always bought amusement with your beauty. You like to trifle with men—see what they'll do when you smile at them, and how far they'll go when you offer them your lips. The thing that makes you angry now is that for the first time, the only thing you have to offer didn't get you what you wanted.” “You mean,” she asked, “that you’ a flirt, too—a better flirt than I am He caught a look of hunger in he eyes. ,\ “Don’t tell me,” she said, “that all you were doing was just fooling me!” “Didn't you ever ‘just fool’ a man— many men?” he asked. “I know—I know I did. But this is different—-a man oughtn't to deceive a girl—make believe he likes her when he doesn't.” The car had stopped at Marcie’s ) ‘D She sighed wearily. ‘“I told you | , 14 ‘fo Z UZ | af The Hee) 4 Wt sadbhati ibs ‘Tinilits 0s...

Work, the international authority, will answer your auction bridge questions. A stamped, self-addressed envelope must accompany cach request for replies.) No Auction, Bridge topic has caused more discussion or created more misun- derstandings between partners, than the question of whether and when the part- ner of a No Trump bidder should take- out by bidding two of a suit. There is no blanket rule to cover this vitally important subject. To say, “Always take-out your partner’s No Trump with a five-card suit,” or—what is even | worse—"“Always take-out your part- ner’s No Trump with your longest suit,”” would be as ridiculous as to say, There is no way for North to tell) whether the combined hands will work | better at No Trump or at Spades. It) may be that game can be made with | either, or with one and not with the other. Reliable statsitics prove that under such conditions there are as | many cases of No Trump games as of) Spade games; and some have, therefore, | contended that there is no benefit in| | taking out. The asnwer to this is that |a@ player with a strong hand, sitting “Never overcall your partner's No/|opposite a No Trump, should not be Trump.” Such broad advice is apt to) satisfied with 50 per cent success; he |'should make game practically every work badly more often than it works) time by bidding the Major and giving well; the bidder: should follow a sys- | tem which will produce winning results the partner the option between that |and No Trump.

The reaction of @ parent who learns that her child has a heart murmur should lead to further investigation and observation and a plan based thereon. All of which applies just as much to a parent who learns that her child has albumin in the urine. Nephritis in a child may be a very serious condition. Albuminuria is one symptom of nephritis. But not all cases of nephritis in children are seri- ous and not all albuminurias have nephritis, nor any other serious or im- portant djsease.. they’re just out of luck and can’t hope for any help from a pipe or a flask. They attract or they don’t. If they are dead on their feet they are dead, and that ends it, and trying to act like a wild woman won't help them except to get the laugh. Let them act like women—smile love-like, make a fellow happy and they won't: need booze, to- bacco or snuff. Sail into these freaks, | why don’t you—like you sail into us every chance you get.

EVANS Calvin, Isaacs and Meyer | their opinion as follows: “We recommend first an intelligent explanation to the parent, explaining | the simplicity and benignancy of the | disorder and that it may not comprise a sickness or disease. The physician will often find that his problem is one of treating an intense, overanxious, hypochondriac parent rather than the child. Those cases that demand correction and elimination of apparent foci of in- | fection should have these done. Nutri- tion should be improved and anemia overcome. We do not advise any exces- sive rest cure or restricted low protein diet as a remedy. Such measures may ‘actually result in harm to children. The child should be allowed to lead a nor- mal life, with only such restrictions as are necessary to overcome any malnu- _trition. Especial emphasis should be laid on the physical development of the chil- dren in the orthostatic group.” In these opinions they are referring to the benign albuminurias. The orthostatic group is composed of children who have albuminuria after exercise or even standing, but none when they remain in bed. Many of them are rather swaybacked. The albuminurious urine generally comes from one kidney only. They are benefited by a diet which causes the u=ee to remain alkaline. But the most important injunction to them Is that they do not take to bed as a cure, but that, on the other hand, they try to develop a good mimscle system and @& (good posture. The albuminuria of rapid growth be- longs in this list. It is especially prom- inent in high school and younger col- lege girls and boys. The very rapid growth of the kidney-at this period of life results in some temporary abnor- mality of that organ. In the experience of Calvin, Isaacs and Meyer undernutrition and anemia are important factors in causing be- nign albuminuria. It is found especial- ly in soft, flabby, pasty, languid chil- dren. A little more food, or food of a better quality; more good meat, bread, express ' ' milk, vegetables and fruit; a little more | sleep; ‘surroundings that are a little more sunshine; and little more sanitary is about all they need to cure their kidney trouble. When there are foci of infection these contribute to the malnutrition and anemia and in that way, indirect- a ly, to the kidney trouble. EATS TOO FAST. writes: 1.

You've started the wrong way— remember? You said so yourself this morning.” “Let me out!” She fumbled with the catch of the door. Morton drew back her hand, threw in the clutch of the machine, and the car bounded forward. “Too fast for you to Jump,” he said. “Now we can finish our conversation. “Girlie, you've had things so much your way, in your life, that you are simply unable to understand when things go against you. You become cruel—and I don’t want to see a girl get like that. You even told Nona that you and I were secretly married—” “Did she tell you that?” flashed Marcie. “It’s a lie!” “No—Audrey told me.” They were traversing a cross-road now, paralleling the limits of the city. “You did it to hurt Nona. Probably you've thought of hurting her again. Have you?” “Yes."" Marcie was huddled down in her seat. Once or twice she had made a motion as if to leap out, but the car was going at a high rate of speed. “Doubtless you thought of telling her about our sojourn in Philadelphia. She did not deny it. “Go on—tell her, if you wish. I've said nothing about it. What you say will wound her, of course.” His tone was matter-of-fact. “I'll tell Audrey about her precious husband and me!” Marcle threatened. “Do as you like. It will grieve her deeply.” He turned into another road. “But if you hurt Nona, and break Audrey's heart, what benefit will it be to you? He waited, but she gave no answer. “Marcie, what makes you do { this way—-what makes you do all the _ things you do?” She was silent a long time. 1 Most crippled 51 Belonging to 7 Arbors bees _ b-daa street 53 In such manner 54 Elder 15 Exist 16 Distributed . 56 A little flower 58 Scoffs 18 Alternate rising and falling Of 59 Diseases marked the waters by increased 19 Hotel heat, &c 21 To make hollow 23 Bond 24 Generations 26 Sharpened 28 Near 29 A hare in its first year 31 Fortifies house. “Harry—come in!” holding out her hand. let you go like this!’’ 1 Formed by the she asked him, lips “Please—I can’t 2 Vindicate by in- flicting evil on the wrongdoer 3 Myself 4 Culmination 5 Petitions 6 One who instructs 7 Wand of orches- tral leader hoe RESULT OF YESTERDAY'S PUZZLE. agp 2.

P.).— Yankee hustle is menacing another cherished tradition of an alien land. Mexico, immemorial asylum of the Three-Hour-For-Lunch club, accus- tomed to shut up shop from noon or 1 o’clock until 3 or 4 in the afternoon, is having its siestas disturbed by the flop of flapjacks, the sizzle of “ham and,” the shouts of hurried waiters and the strange and saddening sight of gen- tlemen sitting upon stools to eat. The American quick lunch is invad- ing streets which for centuries have dozed half the afternoons away. In- stead of a seven-course midday dinner followed by a nap quite a few cabal- leros and a whole flock of foreigners now are galloping into American white- fronts, bolting a stack of wheats or a sandwish, and returning to business.

Let the mimeographed circular letter which has been issued give the details: “During the past golfing season he has listened to protestations of unapproachable skill; to the claims of superiority complex he has been compelled to agree and to disagree with this one and that one; his mind and his patience have been burdened with wild tales of hard luck; he has heard alibi after alibi; he has been a witness to the wager- ing of millions and millions of dol- Medical center 12-to-O Four other scheduled games were postponed until better weather conditions pre- | vail. | The Rosedale-Clan MacLennan | gave promise in the first half of being a real contest, as at the end of that period the young Northeastern eleven was leading by the narrow margin of 2 to 0.

That is the question that is dividing scholastic camps in the South- west. It all started when William. Allen White, famed editor of the Emporia (Kans.) Gazette, spoke harsh words about the great college game in an editorial, “Bye-Bye Football.” these days, said White, in pointing out that it never drew greater crowds, never received more page one publicity, never had seen its coaches higher paid or its heroes more widely discussed. “The tail has begun to wag the dog furiously this season,” wrote the Emporia editor, “and this. hu- miliating fact has at last come home to the dog.” Came then Chancellor E. H. Lindley, . of : the University of Kansas, to the sup- port of Mr. White. septate Football indeed is riding the crest, he asserted, and if it does not return to normalcy it will make for the sub- ordination of scholarship to athletics in the curricula of the colleges and uni- versities of the country. Mr. White is “both right and wrong,” was the comment of E. L. Hendricks, president of the Central Missouri State Teachers college. Football “does not preclude scholarship,” he said, “but it renders it difficult during the season.” Democratic taxpayers will remedy the Situation, where too great expense is given to the department of physical education, he added, if school admtnis- trators do not. But it should be “howdy football, glad to see you,” in- stead of “bye-bye football,” he avers. Football is more sinned against than sinning. and is the “blow-off” valve for collegiates, commented Thomas L. Bucher, president of the Kansas State Teachers college, lo- cated at Emporia. As such, it has replaced hazing, cane rushes, fights, the nocturnal visit of the presi- dent’s cow to the chapel platform, . The blood of youth “still flows red and hot,” he wrote, and “ping pong and tiddledy-winks never will do the trick in a college that is worth a sou. Come on! Let’s all be young.” WINGATE IS STAR. Dick Wingate, right fullback on the young Monroe soccer team, is rapidly becoming recognized as the best at that position in the Washington league. He kicks deftly with either foot and puts a lot of power in his boots. He can head the sphere also. } RA TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats EISEMAN’S, 7th & F LE ERE SR. 6 EM NE OS EE ee . a We 8 ' Mouton declared, Waverly will seek an McQuillan Resigns ) ‘McQuillan, manager of the Columbus American association baseball Events Like Walker-Flowers and Dempsey- Tunney Bouts Make Mat Game Less Rep- rehensible Day by Day.

EW YORK, Dec. 5.—Compared with the fragrant Sesquicentennial thing, the Walker-Flowers thing or several other aromatic things that have occurred in the fist fighting pro- fession within recent memory, the wrestling profession seems less and less |reprehensible day by day. °The wrest- Football is on the crest of the waves) * oe: Me y a at ling profession is making an endeavor to go straight or to convince the cus- tomers that it is going straight, which would amount to the same thing for practical purposes and if the fist figh- ters continue to perpetrate these things the customers may be driven to the wrestling shows. The customers are famous for their broadmindedness and they miake no ments be contested strictly on the level, but they do like them comparatively. so. The wrestlers nowadays claim to have turned more or less square and Jack Curley, who stands for wrestling in the United States in’ the same way that Mr. Rickard stands for cauliflower, goes so far as to assert that his sport is more honest than otherwise, which is probably a slight exaggeration. Certainly the wrestling business would not be permitted to get away with things as fragrant as some of the things that have been laughed | off in the fist fighting profession. If the Steinkes and the Podubnys, the Zybszkos and the Garkwienkos of Mr. Curley’s ployglot company en- deavored to get away with anything as bold as the one that Harry Wills and Floyd Johnson performed in Newark sometime ago, in which Johnson enter- ed the ring a paralytic and was moved by the towel before Wills could lay a glove on him, the Associated Cauli- flower commissions would have all hands arrested, as well as their heirs and assigns. Neither would the commissions con- | sclously permit any champion wrestler to enter a bout with a guarantee that prudish demand that their entertain- | he would receive more money for losing than for winning. as Flowers is said to | have been guaranteed in his bout with Walker. 14 Veterans to Return to Squad; Captain Will Be Named.

The dates were set for November 7 and December 12. Waverly went through with its agreement and was defeated 13 to 7. Mouton said that he is determined that the Mohawks be held to the contract. Yesterday was. no day for a true test of football skill, it was agreed by Man- agers Patsy Donovan and Seymour Hall, of the rival elevens, but despite the cold and snow, a number of dyed-in- the-wool followers reported at the park and seemed disappointed when told that hostilities ‘for the day had been erased.

YOUNG. HERE is hardly any question but that Kenesaw Mountain Landis will succeed himself as baseball's high commissioner at the joint major league meeting to be held in Chicago the middle of this month, but whether or not his reelection is unanimous de- pends upon what course he takes in connection with the draft rule at the minor league confab at Asheville, N. C., this week. This draft proposition thorn in the side of, the major leaguers—especially those in the Ban Johnson circuit—ever since Landis has been in office. After the two big leagues had ratified his appointment as diamond czar, the bush leaguers were asked if they also cared to put them- selves under his jurisdiction. They accepted and promised to ac- has been a BULLETIN, And while on the subject of ‘‘good things’ I desire to hand you a. trio of picklers.

For the third heat, FORMULA has only to run to Maryland form in order to show the others the shortest way home. BILLY WITT ran a corking good race last time out. He is not called upon to beat much in the fourth. Here is the spot to purchase a three-way card. JULIE has plenty of weight up in the sixth, but is entitled to consideration over ROMP and RUNDARK, with DOC- TOR GLENN having an outside chance to spill the beans. In the closing affair, ENDOR is liable cept the draft ruling, although asking for time for consideration. The South- | ern, Eastern, and several smaller cir- cults accepted immediately and, when the time came for the others to fall in line, they refused-—‘‘double-crossed” Landis, as the American leaguers put it. Not only did this, but three vears ago baseball's advisory committee, composed of Judge Landis and the two league heads, called a meeting in Louisville for reconsideration of to awaken.

Dennarideo, Four Bulletin, RNunda Adieu, oe aitingt, this draft question—as is provided for in the rules—and the minor leaguers refused to attend it. The result was that none of the class AA leagues fell in line and their ex- ample was followed by several of the | leagues of lower rating. This virtually | prevents the majors from developing | talent as they desire. Under the pres- | ent ruling, options can extend for but | two years and strings on only 8 players | may be retained by a club at one time. This,, according to the big leaguers, does not give them a run for their) money. They claim that they are “held up” for big purchase prices by the minors | and then, if the rookies fail to make, good within two years, the bush league clubs get them back practically for | nothing. In other words, big league | outfits are given no chance to cash in: on the “ivory” they buy unless the | youngster happens to make good at} the very start. | As Landis was at the baseball helm | when this deal was “slipped over’ on | the majors, the American leaguers feel that it is up to him to get them out) of the hole in which they find them-, selves due to his dieinond inexperience at the time. Pere | They believe that by now he has had time to discover how unfavora- bly the draft rule has worked against the big-timers and also that he should now be convinced that it is up to him to force a showdown. The present agreement still has one year more to run, but if Landis wants, to regain considerable prestige he has | lost in the American league, it is up to | him to take a stand at this week's meeting so that the American leaguers will know his intent when the expira- tion date does roll around. As a matter of fact, Landis’ term does not expire until next year. He was appointed in November, 1920, but did not assume full command until the following January. The National league is putting forth the question of his re- election at this time on his claim that his term expires next November and that unless he is renamed baseball will be without a head between November of next season and the date of the an- nual December meeting. The senior circuit is backing his reelection as a unit, which means that - one American league vote is needed to give him the job again and he is sure to get this—from the White Sox— because of President Comiskey’s known hatred of Ban Johnson, who has been opposing the judge ever since he took office. At the present time, the American leaguers look upon the commissioner as a tool of the National league. Two years ago, in the heat of his fight with Ban Johnson, Landis practically challenged the junior circuit. Phil ‘Ball, of the Browns, always has been against him, but the other seven magnates were friend- ly until he entered the meeting room and accused them all of be- ing against him, remarking at the time that his only followers were the National league owners. This move lost him the good will of most of the American league magnates. They agree, however, that he has been @. credit to the game, has many good qualities, and deserves reelection, pro- vided he undoes the harm he did when he allowed the minors to “deal from the bottom of the deck’ in the draft + ition. 4 Col, Jake Ruppert, of the Yankees, already has come out in the open as to his feelings in the matter. guarantees to adjust this draft ruling when it expires, I will gladly vote for hig reelection,” he has stated, “but, un- less he indicates that he will do this, i will not get my vote.” And th to be the way President Clark ‘ Grimth, of the Nats, and the other American league magnates feel about the matter. As stated above, the judge is prac- tically assured of another term, but, !f he wants to make his election unani- mous, he has his chance'to do so by showing an “iron hand” on the draft jm ition at the Asheville meetings w -_—— | Wattace Motor “a | 6 Helen “Tf he § | TRACKMEN’S SELECTIONS | NEW ORLEANS.

The young fiyhawk showed considerable hitting ability while here, but a weak arm, coupled with slowness in getting the ball away on return pegs from the open spaces, kept him from receiving seri- ous consideration as a regular. t Rockne’s Trick Stings Team to Winning Form After Carnegie Debacle OUTH BEND, Ind., Dec. 5 (By A. P.)—-Psychology played an important part in the winning of the Southern California game yesterday by Notre Dame. When the team returned home a week ago, smarting under the 19 to 0 Carnegie Tech defeat, Coach Knute Rockne did not even men- tion Carnegie. For two days he mingled with the men, teaching them new tricks for the Trojans and pol- ishing up the team in general, but not once did he refer to Carnegie. The first night out on the spe- cial train carrying them to the West, the boys unpacked their grips and in each was a big program of the Carnegie Tech-Notre Dame game. These Rockne had smuggled into the grips after they had been collected and sent from Notre Dame to the train. TIA JUANA ENTRIES. TUESDAY.

Tearing off 55 yards from scrimmage, the Trojan star brought his season’s total to 1,166 yards. Morton Kaer, big Southern California quarterback, added further glory to his team by chalking up 84 yards in the game to take second place among the country’s ground gainers. His total yardage is 1,121. This surpassed by 21 yards the ground covered by Charlie Rogers, University of Pennsylvania half- back. Herb Joesting, Minnesota fullback, covered 962 yards to rank fourth.

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11.) following a series of matches that were so good that they were regarded as too good and therefore no good. There was one season just before the prize fighting profession was legalized again when the customers, having no prize fights to watch, crowded his armory time after time and paid typical Rickard prices. The championship was in circulation then and a prosperous winter was en- joyed by all, including the enterprising overcoat collectors, who noticed the wrestling customers have a tendency to drowse off. But then, on the ground that wrestling could not be that good and be on the level, the wrestling busi- ness was run out of town, and it has taken a long time to inch it back. At present Mr. Curley is trying to persuade the cauliflower commission to order a tournament for the champion- ship, which seems to have become mis- laid. He and the customers lost track of the title about the time that Wayne Munn, the educated wrestler from Ne- braska, applied the law of gravity to Strangler Ed Lewis in Kansas City. The educated Munn is not a very good wrestler, but he is very intelli- gent, and as he lay on the mat, with Lewis sitting on top of him, endeavor- ing to unscrew his head, he thought: “If this gentleman unscrews my head, I will probably be the laughing stock of the town. So I think I will do some- thing intelligent.” Thereat he got up. lifted the Strangler. held him out over the concrete floor and let go. True to his expectations, the Strangler fell to the concrete floor. He was so badiy shaken that he could not get up and Munn declared himself the champion. Lewis said Munn was not champion but something else and demanded that henceforth intelligent wrestlers be for- bidden to show off their knowledge of | the law of gravitation. Well, then Stanislaus Zybszko beat Munn and Joe Stecher beat Zybszko, and Lewis, still claiming to be cham- pion, challenged Stecher for the title. Just the other day in California Lewis forfeited $5,000 to Stecher, Mr. Curley says, because Stecher accepted a match with him and Lewis failed to go through with it. But in the meantime, John Pesek had thrown Stecher, only to lose the decision when the referee explained that his tap on Pesek’s shoulders as Pesek squatted aboard Stecher pinning him to the mat, was merely an ad- monition to quit doing something wrong, and not notification of victory. So you can see what Mr. Curley means when he states that the title has been mislaid. There are many more heavyweight wrestlers than heavyweight fighters at present and the average of skill is in- comparably greater among the wrestlers : than among the fighters, almost all of whom can be classified somewhere be- tween horrible and absolutely criminal. eee Old Line Places Trio OnAll-Maryland Team Baltimore, Dec. 5.—Five Western Maryland men, three University of Maryland men, one Johns Hopkins man, and two Loyola college men were select- ed as the Batimore Sun's All-Maryland football eleven.

This is the seventh of a series of articles to be published by The Post to acquaint the thousands of new soccer fans of the District with this international game. By RICHARD S. TENNYSON. N the articles that have . preceded this it is hoped that the new soc- cer fan has received a general idea of the game, or at least sufficient knowledge to enjoy the Sunday after- noon attractions that are offered by the Washington Soccer league. No at- tempt has been made to go into the technical side of the sport and in sum- ming up all that has been said in previous articles there are certain points that should be stressed. First, it is of utmost importance that the soccer player know the rules of the game, and no individual who is the member of a team should be without a copy of the rules, which should be read and studied. The great fault of many is that the impression exists that a general idea of the game is suf- ficient to play it. This is the case in every sport and is one of the greatest handicaps to athletic activities. There are many soccer players who have been in the game for a score or more years and have labored under mistaken ideas of the game, formed on a vacant lot or under the guidance of an inefficient referee, and it is hard to convince them that their views are wrong. They are positive that their in- terpretation of the rules is correct, so much so that they do not bother to read and study them, feeling that the information they have gained in actual combat is superior to any they might get from a book. This condition is true in every sport played, evefi our own baseball. An ex- | ‘ample of how wrong impressions are | created about rules may be found in | local soccer circles and can be better | understood when a comparison is made from experiences of baseball officials. Baseball is the ‘ recognized national sport of America. It is played by mil- lions in the United States, and yet it is a fact that only a few know the rules of the game perfectly. If a sandlot baseball player should go to, say England, and became interested in the promotion of baseball there he would be immediately recognized as an expert by the Britishers because he came from the land of baseball. His statements on rules would be accepted as final undoubtedly by the new base- ball players, but unless he was an ex- ception his sandlot idea of the rules would not be exactly according to the accepted form. On the other hand soccer is generally recognized here as a game belonging to a large extent to the British, who have introduced it in every section of the globe, and their ideas of how a rule should be interpreted are accepted here by many as final, but like the sandlot baseball player it is only in rare cases that the old country players have expert knowledge of the fine points of the game. Naturally the question is brought forth, what difference does it make if the game is introduced and the new player gets a general idea? The differ- ence is that the young player starts teaches out wrong and he in turn some one else wrong methods, a handi- cap and a cause of friction whenever teams meet that have been trained under different interpretations. Therefore the fi final advice of these articles is that the rules be read, studied and discussed with some one that really knows the game. By so doing the young player will become a more efficient player and those who follow him will be better equipped to defend the laurels of this city, and possi- bly the nation, in intercity and international matches. Another point that can not be stress- ed too strongly is that it. is the poorest form of sportsmanship and the greatest deterrent to a bicker over decisions made by a referee. Nothing is gained by this all too common habit of athietes and much harm is done the game. Specta- tors come to watch competition and not debating and argumentative ability. When a referee makes a decision it is final and rio arguing or remonstration can change it. Therefore. it is foolish to make the official less efficient by upsetting him and taking his atten- tion from the work at hand, bickering is certain to do. ber that arguments and fights with their opponents materially detract from their efficiency as players and, in the case of fights, it means that they are lost to their team, as a referee can not permit a player to continue in the game after he has struck an opponent To satisfy a selfish, savage desire, himself to be removed from a team for striking an opponent. sport for players to which | Finally, young players should remem- | a i player weakens his club when he causes DETROIT FIVE BEATEN BY | PALACE !

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11.) being on the boys’ heels, really ap- peared to be slightly outclassed. The Caritens played an excep- tionally clean and what might be called a gentle game, scrupulously avoiding, as much as possible, per- sonal contact and otherwise giving the girls the advantage. Referee Dutch Eberts also was the “perfect gentleman,” failing to call a single foul on the girl combination. Several were inflicted on the Carltons, but they did the boys no harm as their opponents were successful in only seven of their many tosses from the 15-foot line. Miss Alderton easily led the Arcadias. Not only did she score six goals fram scrimmage, several being long shots. and the same number from the free- dom line, but her passing and guarding stood out. Beall, Davidson and Lam- bert did practically all of the scoring for the Carltons, with the first-named doing the most brilliant work. Neither team made any substitutions during the entire game. Condition is what ultimately decided the main game in favor of the Wash- ington team. Despite the fact that it only returned from a road trip yes- terday morning, as the. game neared the finish it was Manager Kennedy and his charges, who had the stamina to keep up the fast pace and 5° come from behind and win by 17 ports. In fact, so far gone were the Detroit play- ers about midway of the second half that they took out more than their alloted time even at the expense ef @ penalty. The Palace team started off with a jump and scored 5 points before Detroit could get its machinery preperly functioning. Then they started hitting on all cylinders and as hard-fought a game as any one could ask for re- sulted. The visitors finally knotted the count. The advantage shifted constantly until Washington broke an Il-all deadlock to forge 6 points to the good, only to find {self trailing 18 to 23 at half-time. In this period, Detroit outscored Ken- nedy'’s boys 9 floor goals to 5. This half thrilled the fans but it was noth- ing to what was shown in the second when the locals, with defeat staring them in the face, delivered everything they had and showed more fight than CONCORD TAKES LEAD BY SOCCER VICTORY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11.) game in a white blanket of snow the, ambitious kickers finished in a field | of mud.

'EARNINGS OF RAILROADS on the deferred purchase money at the rate of / ‘Low Cotton Price and Closing of Auto Plants Are Offset by Other Gains. TO SET NEW HIGH MARK Lines Are Little Disturbed by Addition to the Annual Bill for Labor. New York, Dec. 5 (By the Associated Press).—The contrast between the usual year-end curtailment of industrial op- erations and the expansion of retail; holiday trade became more pronounced last week. Important industries, such ns steel, lumber and automobile manu- facturing, continued to throttle down the pace of their activities, apparently satisfied to mark time after a year of great prosperity. Although comparisons with the final quarter of last year have not been al- together favorable, the recessions in most instances have been too mildly graduated to arouse apprehension. Some uneasiness was created by a fall in cot- ton prices to new low levels for the sea- son and suspensions by some o1 the au- tomobile plants, but these develop- ments were offset by improvement in other lines. An important step toward stabiliza- tion of rubber conditions affecting the United States was taken by leading tire and automobile manufacturers, who formed a $40,000,000 pool with the aid of Wall street bankers to purchase the crude product. Activities of the com- bination will be designed to prevent artificial and umreasonable advances in the price of rubber and at the same time to stabilfme the market at a level which will forestall further restriction of output under Great Britain’s Ste- venson act. Railroads Are Prosperous. Approaching the close of a highly prosperous year in which aggregate carnings are certain to set a new high record, the railroads were little dis- turbed by the addition of nearly $15,- 000,000 to the annual wage bill of the Eastern carriers. Earnings over the next few months probably will be affected by the 714 per cent increase granted to conductors and trainmen, but hopes were expressed that this would be even- tually offset by a further increase in operating efficiency. Freight traffic up to November 20 continued at the rate of more than a million cars a week. ' refineries were 1,575 cars, _478 in November, 1925, and shipments 'ducing the number A rather sharp let-down in the steel business was noted last week, with op- | erations of the industry as a whole) barely holding around 70 per cent of | capacity.

Dr. Jackh Lauds Dawes Plan| as the First Step to | Restore Order. The only way to peace lies in the surrender by nations of the same sup- | , ' posed. rights which primitive man sur-| rendered on entering a civilized com- | munity, Maj. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, re- | tired, told delegates attending the a i ond conference on the cause and cure of war, held jointly by nine national | women’s organizations, at a public} meeting which opened the conference yesterday at the Belasco theater. Gen. Bliss said the causes of war will exist forever. Peace may be at- tained only by such an organization of nations as will place the same “checks” on them as are placed on the indi- vidual in the State, he said. He placed before the delegates what he considered a sure method for bring- ing the nations under an order of peaceful harmony. This goal, he de- clared, will be attained only by slow progress, and probably, he said, by a great deal of bloodshed and many tears. | Cites Pillars of Structure. The four pillars of this structure, he submitted, should be a code of inter- national law, approved by the legisla- tive bodies of the various nations, and to which they were implicitly bound, and where the law would not apply, arbitration; an international court to decide matters of law; sufficient dis- armament among nations to permit the Jaw and the court to function, and lastly, a formal association of nations to enforce peace among themselves, leaving each nation to pursue in its own way its individual development. The keynote thought of the meeting was that the causes of war lie in the mind of man, in its tendency to as- sert itself ‘by instinctive madness in- stead of reason, and that the cure lies in intellectual control of the emotional, or the proper direction of human pas- | sions. | All three speakers referred in some way to this thought, which was ac- cepted as the goal of seekers of peace. A federation or parliament of man mever will exist, Dr. Alfred E. Zim- mern, of Paris, declared. He said the present trend of the world is against it, and: that the moving power behind the trend is democracy. Diversity of Conditions. The reason, he declarfied, is that democracy brings a diversity of con- ditions of life. However, he said, “The League of Nations is such a framework of law as will permit decentralization.” Peace is natural among men, he said. aWd war unnatural. He avowed, there- Tore, that those who conceive eterna! disputation are “romantic dreamers.” He declared that the best contribu- tions of this country would be to “bring its influence and traditions to bear on the politics of the world with a view to swerving their course toward peace rather thar to sign treaties.” Dr. Ernst Jackh, of Berlin, spoke of Germany as a “Utopia made real,” as a “realization of Wilson’s fourteen points,” and declared “the new Europe is evolving through the new Germany.” He said “Germany is the heart of Europe, and more important than the fingers and hands.” He referred to the Dawes plan as a “traffic regulation introduced into the European chaos,” and bringing the first semblance of order. Germany, he said, has the most democratic constitutions, and is contributing to the world a new political philosophy. Germany can give the least resistance against attack, he declared, and was involved in the war because the political forces of Europe were moving in her direction. He expressed the hope that “the stone which the build- ers rejected would become the corner- stone.” The delegates greeted his ad- dress with prolonged applause. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, general chairman, presided. The conference will continue through Friday. Bryn Mawr Book Sale To Start Wednesday A sale of used books will be held by the Bryn Mawr club of Washington Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 1627 H street northwest from 9 a. m. to 6 p.m. The sale is held annually to finance the regional scholarship through which the alumnae of Bryn Mawr send a student from Washington and its sur- rounding territory to the college. Books of any kind are being solicited. Donations should be sent to Mrs. E. W. Sturdevant, 3006 P street northwest, president of the Washington branch. Baby Unhurt in Fall From Second Floor Wilfred Naylor, 1-year-old colored boy, who fell from a high chair through a second-story window to the pavement Saturday morning at the home of his parents, 331 Virginia avenue southwest, was discharged yesterday from Casualty hospital, where he had been held under observation by Dr. R. I. Gandolfo. His condition was recorded as “un- determined” on entrance to the hos- pital. No ill effects of the fall were noted after 24 hours. | chapel (of wealth, AMERICAN MOTHERS | SHOULD BAND, DEAN OF GHESTER ROLDS | —_ a a ee Cites Sanctity of Marriage, Like Individual in State, | Home and Religions and Rearing of Children. ADDRESS BY BENNETT . BROADCAST TO 500,000 Leaves Capital After Sermon at Episcopal Cathedral; To England Soon. That American mothers should band in a mothers’ union to preserve the sanctity of marriage, the preciousness of the home and the religious up- bringing of children was the suggestion made by the Very Rev. F. S. M. Bennett, dean, of Chester England, in his final sermon preached in the Bethlehem of Washington cathedral yes- terday afternoon Dean Bennett's remarks were broad- cast to an unseen audience, estimated at more than a half million persons. The dean came to America eight weeks ago as the guest of the College ol Preachers, Washington cathedral, has lectured in many cities during his stay. He wil! sail for England Satur- day, but left Washington last night. “The home,” the dean said, “is the most precious possession of civiliza- tion and it is worth the maintaining at all costs. Nothing can so save it as a union cf mothers without distinction or poverty, class or creed pledged to strive for its preservation.” Tells of British Strike. The Rt. Rev. James Edward Freeman, bishop of Washington, read the scrip- tural lessons. In his remarks the dean of Chester spoke of the general strike which paralyzed all England at the opening of the year and said that as soon as the English people realized it was illegal it was soon over. He urged observance of law upon the people of Lhis country as a part of their heritage. “Washington .cathedral will be a symbol of the weiding together of the groups of nations living together in the United States in peace and amity,” de- clared the dean, “even as the cathe- drals of the fourteenth century in England marked the welding together of the Norman-Saxon races in that country. “Washington cathedral. I believe, will be a means of splendid education in beauty for the people and a witness in the capital of your nation of the spiritual side of your race. The builders of Washington cathedral have a large- ness of vision and a magnificence of faith and they are building carefully for the generations. I bid Godspeed to this great edifice and to the people of this nation who have overwhelmed me with kindness.”’ TRIBUTE TO WIDOW OF ARSENAL VICTIM Mrs. E. A. Brown Commended for Services in Naval Ammu- nition Station Explosion. ee ee eee ee (By the Associated Press.) Womanly courage as exemplified by the help which Mrs..E. A. Brown lent fellow-victims during the explosion last July of the naval ammunition storage depot at Lake Denmark, N. J., received official recognition yesterday when Secretary Wilbur sent her a let- ter of commendation. Lieut. Comadr. E. A. Brown, her husband, was killed in the disaster. Mrs. Brown, after the first detona- tion, piled two aged women and all the children of her neighbors into her car, picked up some marines along the way, and arrived, finally, at Newfoundland, N. J., with. fourteen persons “in and on her car.’ Secretary Wilbur con- gratulated her upon the “courage and cool-headedness’”’ which she displayed. Other letters commending service performed during the emergency §at Lake Denmark, and also work done in raising the sunken submarine 6-51, were sent by the Secretary, many to public officials who organized relief, hospital attendants and civilian organ- izations, and certain of army and navy personnel. Courage Opposite Of Fear, Says Bishop Courage is not the absence of fear but the opposite of fear, Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes, of Chicago, declared yes- terday afternoon at the union mass meeting in the Eighth Street temple, Eighth street northwest near H street. The meeting was held under auspices of the Washington Federation of Churches. “Are You a Coward?” was the theme of Bishop Hughes’ address. Bishop Hughes asserted he believed it more courageous to be true to Jesus Christ in everyday life than to remain fearless in the face of a catastrophe. The Rev. James Shera Montgomery, pastor of the Metropolitan Memorial Methodist Epis- copal church, presided at the services.

WAN, MURDER TRIAL FIGURE, IN BUSINESS Expects Candy Will Pay Debts and Take Him to Mother in China. Ziang Sun Wan “/has started his “come-back."" The young Chinese, who was vindicated recently after being tried three times for the celebrated Chinese triple murder of 1919, has be- come a candy manufacturer. “Wan'’s Mandarin Creams.” he calls the candy he is making and marketing. And he hopes it will be means of pay- ing his debts and carrying him back to his blind mother in China. Wan, who passed seven years in the District jail before finally being vindi- cated, is making the candy in a down- town building. He makes deliveries in person and will continue to do so un- less business becomes too heavy. Wan has made a long study of foods and their effect on the hu- man system and he has made good use of the knowledge. When he was committed to jail in 1919 he «was weak and emaciated, weighing 109 pounds. Although he was condemned to die, ke immediately set about to build himself up. His first step was to arrange a diet and a program of cal- esthenics. He followed these religious- ly, and within two years had increased his weight to 176 pounds. Eventually Wan hopes to open a can- dy kitchen and do business on a wide scale. chair- Jewish Forum Hears Of U.S. Defense Needs The critical condition of the na- tional defense and the need for im- ,provement was stressed by Frederick William Wile, newspaper correspondent, at the third meeting of the National Jewish Forum last night at the) Jew- ish community center.
