P.).— Foreign Minister Espinosa, in the lib- eral government of Nicaragua, has noti- fied Pedro Zepeda, the liberal agent here, that the liberals have deteated the Diaz conservative forces at Telica, near Leon, capturing considerable var material. (Telica is on the Pacific side of Nicaragua, only about 70 miles from Managua, the conservative capital. Most of the fighting between the liberals and conservatives has taken place on the Atlantic side. The liberals already have ennounced their intention of marching on Managua.) Further advices from the Sacasa ministry report that the liberals cap- tured 300 prisoners in the recent series of engagements at Las Perlas. Diaz Fears for Others. Managua, Nicaragua, Jan. 2 (By P.).—Adolfo Diaz, president of the con- servative government in power here, issued a long statement addressed ‘“‘to the American and foreign public” last night in whic’ he reviews the course of events in his country and reiterates his charges that Mexico has inter- vened in its affairs. He declares that another filibuster- ing expedition, “outfitted by the Calles government of Mexico,” is expected hourly on the Pacific coast of Nica- ragua which his government hopes to repel successfully, and he adds: “The future of Nicaragua and eventu- ally of all of Central America is at stake in the present conflict between my government and the Calles gov- ernment of Mexico.” President Diaz says he has asked for the intervention of the United States and asserts that “this. solicitation has many laudable prece- dents * * * to seek the aid of a strong nation to protect its sovereignty not | |and territory against the armed ag- shorten the arm of God— it lengthens | gressions of a stronger power.” it. ? . bd m: has gone out of style in Texas, hav- ing been rendered obsolete by the half-pint hip pocket.

In Mexico and Nicaragua British and Other Nations Feel Free to Protect Own Interests If America Shrinks — South American Support Pledged for-Strong Washington Policy. By ALBERT W. FOX. Although the situation involved in America’s handling of the Mexican and Nicaraguan problems remained out- wardly calm yesterday, there were a number of significant developments under the surface here which forecast complications before the end of the week. Chief among these developments are the following: * First—The British and other foreign governments are relying upon the United States to see that their’ inter- ests are not sacrificed either in Mex- ico or in Nicaragua and in case the United States desires to shrink from protection of these foreign interests, the governments directly concerned understand -they will be free to assume the burden of protecting their own na- tionals. In this connection, it is point- ed out that a significant part of Sec- retary of State Kellogg’s brief. an- nouncement when American marines were landed in Nicaragua has been lost sight of. Kellogg said the Ameri- can. marines’ were there to protect American “and foreign” properties. Second — Diplomatic representatives of several of the Latin-American coun- tries have said their governments will support the United States if it car- ries out the policy which was initiated prior to the apparent weakening under criticism. Third: The United States Senate probably will become tke debating e arena for a discussion of President Coolidge’s recent appeal to the press to support his foreign policies shortly after Congress convenes today. Fourth: President Calles of Mexico, according to forecasts made freely in diplomatic circles yesterday, will await the outcome of expressions from cer- tain United States senators before de- ciding whether or ‘not it is safe for him to assume an aggressive attitude to- ward the United States in the present ‘controversy. If it appears to Calles that American senators who have been friendly toward the Mexican radical program have the whip hand to a sufficient extent to int timidate the Coolidge administration from backing up the note which Secre- tary Kellogg addressed to Mexico on October 30 last, the first moves toward taking over American or foreign prop- erties under the new Mexican mineral laws may be cautiously undertaken. If, on the other hand, it appears that the United States government means tq actually support the Kellogg note and will not weaken or weaver under criticism from anticipated quafters, Calles may defer any action against American or foreign properties for some time to come, according to the con- census. As a statesman and diplomat Calles has already made his mark, dip- lomats admit, and he has been advised and is being advised by persons in very close touch with the views of the very (CONTINUED ON PAGE 14, COLUMN 8.) INDUSTRIAL COOPERATION Movement for Stabilization Is Launched at Dinner Given by Lord Wimborne. CHURCHILL AMONG GUESTS London, Jan. 2 (By A. P.).—Impor- tant developments for Great Britain's industrial affairs are likely to crystal- lize as a consequence of a conference at a big private dinner, held just be- fore Christmas. The fact that such a meeting was held has just become known. It was in the London home of Lord Wimborne, man of affairs and former lord lieutenant of Ireland. Among the guests were Winston | Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer; Lord D’Abernon, former ambassador to Germany; Philip Snowden, former chancellor of the exchequer in the labor government, and officials of the Trade Union congress. The primary object of the dinner, concerning which much reserve is ob- served, was to listen to a lecture on Germany's industrial relations and schemes for industrial cooperation, but it is reported that the feeling of good fellowship among the diners de- veloped so satisfactorily that there is a possibility of the establishment of an organization comprising representa- tives of labor and employers. Its object will be to discuss labor and wage conditions, prevent disputes and thus secure greater stability for British industries. Union Bars Girls — On Transocean Phone London, Jan. 2 (By A.

New York, Jan. 2 (By A. P.).—A 16- year-old student, Rigby Wile,.commit- ted suicide here today by shooting, leaving a letter saying it was his con- clusion that life is pointless and futile. He was a sophomore at the University of Rochester and was passing his Christmas holiday with his father, Dr. Ira 8. Wile. Alfred Kehoe, 21-year-old ge student, jumpec >» his death from the Washington bridge to the Harlem river speedway, 125 feet below, early today after leaving a note to his parents say- ing he intended to “pass out of the picture in his own little peculiar way.” Aurora, Ill., Jan. 2 (By A. P.).— Joseph Moore, 21, a sophomore at the University of Illinois, died in a hospital here today from bullet wounds self- inflicted at a New Year’s eve party at the home of his sister. Moore left a note in which he stated that he “had experienced all that life had to offer and, therefore, was better off dead.” The student’s father is a physician at AMERICANS PAY RANSOM; ARE FREED BY MEXICANS Mining Men Get Bandits to: Cut Sum From 10,000 to 700 Pesos. BOTH RETURN IN SAFETY Mexico City, Jan. 2 (By A. P.).—The two Americans, J. W. Wiley and E. W. Connors, who were kidnaped by ban- dits last Tuesday, have been released on payment of ransom of 700 pesos. The sum first demanded by the ban- dits was 10,000 pesos. They seized Wiley and Connors, who were employes of a British-owned mine at San Fran- cisco de Oro, near Parral, Chihuahua, and held them prisoner in a camp in the nearby mountains. The Americans have reached San Francisco del Oro safely, according to a message received by the American embassy from the mining company. Ever since they were captured the prisoners had been dickering with the bandits to reduce the ransom, finally bargaining the sum down to 700 pesos. On Saturday the bandits permitted Connors to go back to the mine to get the money. This he did, returning to the bandits’ hiding place with the cash; whereupon both weré released and proceeded home. Presumably the prisoners did not suf- fer seriously from their experience, ac- cording to the message from the min- ing company. SCIENTIFIC HOLDUPS BLAMED ON STUDENTS One Bandit Took Victim’s Overcoat, While His Con- federate Took Notes. Philadelphia, Jan. 1 (By A. P.).—Two hold-ups here today were staged in the interest of science, in the opinion of the police and the victims of the “ban- dits.”’ Confirmation, however, was lacking, for the “bandits,” wko drove ah expen- sive car and wore fur coats, after as- suring their victims their property would be returned, disappeared and have not been located. Police said they were convinced the “bandits’’ were col- lege students out to get first-hand knowledge of the reactions of bandits and victims during a robbery. The men held up were William Burns and John Corkery. In each case the “highwaymen,” four in number, de- manded their victim’s overcoat and nothing else. They got Burns’ coat, but Corkery showed resistance and tke only thing he lost was a jar of pre- serves, which was broken in the scuffle. One of the hold-up youths displayed a small-caliber pistol. One jotted down in a notebook what are thought to be his impressions of the proceedings. Miner and 3 Children | Die in Burning Home Benton, Ill., Jan. 2 (By A. P.).—An- gelo Nava, a coal miner, and three of his children were burned to death late last night at Coello, near here, when the father attempted to rescue the children from their blazing home. Mrs. Nava and three other children escaped with slight burns. The dead children are: Charles, 6, and Loule, 2. The house caught from candles of the older children left burning on a Christ- mas tree.

NATIONAL DEFENSE WILL DIVIDE HOUSE Leaders Fear Controversies May Delay Supply Bills in Short Time Remaining. By NORMAN W. BAXTER, Congress returns to troubled labors today. Both the Senate and the House are confronted with problems more than ordinarily controversial. The Senate, before the week is out, will in all probability be asked to pass on the case of Frank L. Smith, senator- designate, from the State of Illinois, whose acceptance of $125,000 from Sam- uel Insull for his primary campaign has made his rejection Dy the Senate as a member all but a settled fact. The House will plunge into the midst of the fight on national defense, in- augurated by the refusal of the bud- get bureau to include money for three authorized cruisers, expanded by the mere authorization of an additional ten and which will be augmented by the effort of the army as well as the navy to obtain additional funds. In the Senate for the moment the administration is maintaining a hands off policy but some other action may be forced on it before the fight over Smith’s right to his seat has been con- cluded. Blease to Fight Pepper. Senator Cole L. Blease, of South Car- Olina, the one avowed Democratic proponent of the Illinois man, announc- ed yesterday that when the Smith case comes before the Senate he intends to launch his fight against Senator George Wharton Pepper, of Pennsylvania, who in the primary in which William S. Vare spent $800,000 to obtain the Republican nomination in Pennsylvania, expended more than $1,000,000. As for increasing the appropriations for the national defense, the adminis- tration is vitally concerned. The White House reiterated last week its opposi- tion to any appropriation for the three cruisers for which authorization will expire in July and was equally posi- tive that nothing but authorization was wanted now for the ten cruisers. which are to be used on paper for diplomatic purposes in April. There are many indications, however, that the House is of a different temper. The naval affairs committee is virtually a unit in its demand that money spent on the navy be increased. Representa- tive Thomas 8S. Butler, of Pennsylvania, has taken the lead in demanding that what he considers the mistakes of the disarmament conference be remedied by additional cruiser construction. _ Will Seek Funds at Once. Representative Fred Britten, of Illi- nois, “big navy” advocate, has stated that he intends to make a fight from the floor of the House for funds to COLUMN 2.) 12 Celebrants Hurt By Explosion of Gas (CONTINUED ON PAGE 5, Garfield, N.

GAMBLING LID LIFTED FOR SUNDAY CROWDS Not a Building in Mexicali Is Undamaged; Calexico Suffers Again. Calexico, Calif., Jan. 2 (By A. P.).— Recurrent temblors again shook’ the twin cities of Calexico, Calif., and Mexi- cali, Mexico, today, and fire razed two buildings. A number of jolts were felt from midnight throughout this morn- ing, several of them severe, sending loose bricks flying into the streets and widening already existing cracks in buildings. | The shocks, however, did not add ma- terially to previous estimates of dam- age which place the property loss in the two border towns at approximately $1,000,000. Fires Follow Quickly. The first, which started in Mexicali early this morning a few minutes after a severe shock, burned two large two- story buildings to the ground. The exact cause of the fire was undeter- mined, but because it broke out so quickly after an earth shock, fire de- partment officials believed the quake responsible. The burned buildings housed a gen- eral and liquor store and the famous Paris cafe, in the Chinese section of Mexicali. The Calexico fire department crossed the line to aid the Mexicali de- partment, but was unable to save the doomed structures, both departments centering their efforts on preventing the flames from spreading. Sunday crowds flocked to Mexicali to- day. Gov. Rodriguez of Lower Salifornia rescinded the ban on operation of bars and gambling halls, and the tinkling of electric pianos mingled with the echoes of church bells in the Mexican town. A start has been made toward remov- ing traces of wreckage in both the border towns and workmen mingled with sightseers who came from -other points, some as far distant as Los An- geles.

Unqualified recommendation for the construction by the United States and Canada of a shipway from the Atlantic into the Great Lakes via the St. Law- rence river, was presented yesterday to President Coolidge by Secretary Hoover, as chairman of the United States com- mission on the subject. The report definitely rejected the pro- posal for an all-American canal through New York State, as uneconomic and im- practicable for the present time, but declared that the opening of the Great Lakes-to-ocean navigation was “impera- tive both for the relief and for the fu- ture development of a vast area within the interior of the continent.” Secretary Hoover’s report, incorpo- rating cost estimate by engineering boards representing this country and Canada, fixed the cost of the St. Law- rence canal at “an effective net of $148,- , 000,000, as contrasted with an estimat- ed cost of $506,000,000 of a route from Lake Ontario to the Hudson river, and with a cost of $631,000,000 for the all- American plan. Considering the tonnage that would move to and from the ocean to the Great Lakes should a way be opened, the report calculated that the toll cost per ton necessary to carry operating ex- be 43 cents. route, the cost per ton was figured to be $2.06, while if the St. Lawrence- Hudson canal were constructed, the cost would be $1.64. The vastly lower figure for the St. Lawrence waterway, the report said, was arrived at in consideration of the great power development that would result from damming of the stream for navigation purposes.

Roebling Stone Collection Acquired by Smithsonian 16,000 Mineral Specimens, Including 64-Carat Black Diamond and Largest Known Opal, Gift of Son of Builder of Brooklyn Bridge. More than 16,000 mineral specimens, believed to be the finest private col- lection of minerals in the world, and including among its rarities a 64-carat black diamond and the largest precious opal known, has been given to the Smithsonian institution by John A. Roebling, Trenton, N. J., son of the late Col. Washington A. Roebling, builder of the Brooklyn bridge, col- lector of the specimens. An endowment of $150,000, accom- panied the gift to imsure the proper maintenance of the odaaaies: Through the presentation the Smithsonian be- came the possessor of the two greatest private mineral cabinets in the country. The first, containing 9,000 specimens, was received from Frederick A. Canfield, of New Jersey, two months ago. A $50,000 endowment accompanied Can- field's gift. The two collections, added to the 50,000 mineral specimens already owned ‘by the institution, place the Smith- -sonian ahead of any other museum in The building, according to plans, will’ the country, and class it with the Brit- ish and Vienna institutions, leading the world.

One of the rarities, the 64-carat black diamond from South Africa, is a per- fect crystal, and believed one of the largest black diamond crystals known. There is also a black opal, weighing 18 6-10 ounces, from Humboldt county. Nev., and a group of nine Arkansas diamonds, containing one of 18 carats, the largest ever taken from that State.

AISBERG SUPPORTED BY GANDIL IN TORY OF BASEBALL SALE All of White Sox Involved, in the Detroit Deal, It Is Charged. PLAYERS SUMMONED TO HEARING BY LANDIS Orgy of Base-Stealing Marked Four Contests Mentioned, Old Records show. | HOOVER REPORT BACKS UP El Paso, Tex., Jan. 2 (By A. P.).—Ev- ery member of the White Sox team was involved in the deal in which the Chi- cago team “bought” a series from the Detroit Tigers in 1917, Chick Gandil re- lates in a copyrighted story to appear in the E] Paso Times tomorrow morning. Gandil, now manager of the Chino baseball team at Hurley, N. Mex., ad- mitted that he collected the money and made the arrangements, the story will | say. POWER PROSPECTS CITED “I got the money from the Chicago boys and paid it over to the Detroit club,” Gandil said. “Risberg knows but half of the story. I know all of it. I handled the money, took it from the Sox and gave it to Bill James, who paid it over to the Detroit players who were in on the deal. “I didn’t regard that money as bribe money. It was just a little present to the Detroit players.” Gandil’s story vindicates Ty Cobb as far as the 1917 series is concerned. “? know that Ty didn't receive any of our Money, and didn’t even know that we had collected a purse for the other Detroit players,’’ Gandil said. If Gandil’s story is ever made publio, however, it is improbable that it will come through Commissioner Landis. Chick has always felt a bitter antipathy for the high commissioner of baseball, and would probably refuse to particti- pate in any investigation headed by him, the Times will say.

Collins, ac- cording to Risberg’s affidavit to Landis, finally put in his $45 share of the $1,100 pool, but declared he never would do such a thing again, as he did not believe in it. “Ig That All?” Felsch Asks. “Is that all Swede said?” inquired Happy ‘“Felsch, Risberg’s teammate in 1917 and also a member of the “Black Sox,” now living in Milwaukee. “I thought he would make more startling revelations than that.” When Risberg had finished his story of the 1917 plot before Landis and a dozen newspaper men last night, the commissioner asked Risberg if he knew of anything more that ought to be brought out now and Risberg answered that he did not. Felsch would not amplify his state- ment, but he did assert that he believed Risberg was wrong in naming Clarence Rowland, then Sox manager and now an American league umpire, as. insti- gator of the plot. : Risberg said that Rowland originated the idea to have the Detroit team lay (CONTINUED ON PAGE 8, COLUMN 6.)

SEEN AS HINDERING LOANS ON BONUSES Cost as Much to Handle as. Big Deals, Moran Declares. SAYS SECURITY IS GOOD, BUT THAT IS NOT POINT Believes That Many Veterans’ Pledges Would Have to Be Collected From U. S. The same time and expense which ® large loan requires, for an average of 45 cents a month, explains the re- luctance of bankers to make loans to veterans on their bonus certificates, Howard Moran, vice president of thé American Security & Trust Co. and) president of the District Bankers as- | sociation, declared yesterday. “Tt is a matter,” Moran said, every band must decide for itself.” He declared, however, that bankers are likely to be of a common mind in treat- ing the applications for loans strictly on “their business merits,” he said. “That has been our attitude, and I think virtually all banks will look upon it that way. It its not the certificates themselves, not the collateral security offered, it is the general circumstances surrounding every requested loan. And whether the applicant is a veteran or not, every application will be considered | in the light of its business value. “which Moran declared he knows the security | ie good and that the government would pey the notes, and pay them promptly. he lending of money, he indicated, however, is governed by supply and de- demand. It is part of a bank’s bDusi- ness to determine how and to whom it will lend its money. The chief gps rte is what are the opportunities offere the bank for making loans? Loan Value Small. Brig. Gen, Frank T. Hines, di: ector | of the veterans’ bureau, in a statement issued yesterday in which he assured bankers ‘“‘there is no need for worry,” and that all notes lawfully made will be “redéemed promptly pointed out that the loans should be attractive be- cause they permit an interest rate 2 per cent above the regular reli rate of the Federal reserve district which the bank is located. To this, Moran replied: “There is another thing to be taken | of | into consideration. The loan value the notes is small, and it takes just as/| much trouble to handie one of these small loans as it does a large one. “The burden of identification thrown entirely on the banks. Then there is the.time, trouble and expense of handling the loan. And such ioans usually net the bank in interest about 45 cents a month. These loans would rank with the smallest. The average loan is considerably above $1,000. “We do not always make a loan on a Liberty bond. we ask an applicant is whether he is a customer. Our customers are always first served, and that is the general rule.” Nonsaver Poor Borrower.

Although the security might be as sound as gold, he declared, banks like to have their loans paid. He was of the opinion that many of the loans made to veterans on their certificates would have to be collected from the government. He stressed the risk involved in identification. “And then,” he added, “there is an- other side. The loans may cause hard- ships to the wives and beneficiaries of the men when they are not paid and it is necessary to deduct them from thé | insurance.’ Gen.

SMITH AND VARE CASES ANALYZED BY SENATOR What Happened in Pennsylva- nia and Illinois Known to Chamber, He Asserts. - The Senate can not, in the opinion of Senator George W. Nofris, of Ne- braska, seat William 8S. Vare, cf Penn- sylvania, and Frank L. Smith, of Illi- nois, unless it desires to turn over to the rich “that great body the same as if it were merchandise sold for cash.” This was the thought in a statement issued yesterday by the progressive senator apparently in answer to the defense which James M. Beck and other lawyers have placed before the public in behalf of the two men whose right to sit in the Senate has been challenged. Senator Norris insists that the Sen- ate has not only the right but that it is its duty to prevent the Senate from becoming a multimillionaires club or a club of those who “have sold their souls to the rich.” He insists that the Senate can not, after its glecision in the Newberry case, seat men who spent a great deal more money, nor does he believe that there is any ground to the assertion that the Senate is unable to interpret “quali- fications” so as to exclude the two men. Events Known to Senate. Senator Norris says that the fact the Senate already has investigated and has official knowledge of has happened places the cases of Smith and Vare in a different ‘category from | all others and does not make it incum- bent upon the Senate to administer the oath before voting to exclude. He also attacks.the contention that the money Vare spent was used for educational purposes, and says that sums of money can not be used with- out going in part to the “buying of votes.” "The moral conscience of the nation was deeply shocked,” says Sen- ator Norris, “‘when it learned from un- disputed and admitted evidence that there had been spent in the TIilinois and Pennsylvania primaries’ several millions of dollars in an effort to ob- tain nominations for candidate for the United States Senate. In Pennsyl- vania more than $3,000,000 was ex- pended by the various candidates. Of ithis amount $800,000 was spent for the nomination of Vare. In Illinois $458,- 000 was spent to secure the nomination of Smith. “The expenditure of such huge sums | for seats in the United States Senate can not be justified unless we desire to turn over that great legislative body what piepannn-cometiesl ~~ rE ee ' i to the multimillionairies of the coun- ! try who are willing to buy legislation ‘the same as though it were merchan- | dis@ sold for cash to those who are, willing and able to pay the price. If Shooting i in Franklin Park — At Apparent Wild Turkey ~m There was an attempt at slaying in Franklin park yesterday afternoon— slaying with a policeman standing by A strange big bird had entered the park and roosted high up in one of the big trees. Mayhap the big bird did not have anything to do with it and perhaps may have had a good deal to do with it, but the many pigeons and sparrows in the park found a visit to other regions more desirable. Their absence arrested attention, but the big bird more so, when it was dis- covered. Somebody said it was a wild turkey. And a wild turkey in Washing- ton at Franklin park is some event. A vagabond like that had no business in the park, and a wild turkey, if shot, would make an excellent dish at this seasoh of the year. The park policeman called up some one he thought could shoot with effect, and several resounding shots were fired at the bird, assembling a greater crowd, but if any shot entered that bird it did not disclose the fact. It did not budge an inch from its roosting place. The fact that it was not scared to fly away astonished the crowd the more. They went away, but the bird re- mained. R. EDWIN JOYCE DEAD; NATIVE OF CAPITAL Former Business Man, 63, Dies at Home After Five-Year Illness. R. Edwin Joyce, 63 years old, son of the late Andrew J, Joyce, pioneer Wash- ington carriage maker, and for many years active in trade and business circles of this city, died yesterday at, his home, 1461 Spring place northwest, after an illness of five years. A native of Washington, he followed his father’s profession for many years, later entering the government service. He was a member of the Washington council, Knights of Columbus; the Oldest Inhabitants association, the Washington Board of Trade and Cham- ber of Commerce, the Rotary club and the Forresters. A member of the Sacred Heart church, he helped lay the corner stone for :the old church at Four- teenth street and Park road. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Nellie Bell Joyce; two children, Mrs. Joseph E. Dyer, jr., of this city, and R. Edwin Joyce, assistant prohibition admin- istrator at Pittsburgh, and four sisters, Mrs. William H. Dempsey and Mrs. C. G.

Not Question of Expulsion. “The question to be met in the case of Mr. Smith and Mr. Vare,”’ he con- tinues, “is not a question of expulsion. It has to do with the qualifications of those who seek a seat in the Senate. The expenditure of almost unthinkable sums of money in behalf of these men, has disqualified them, and they should therefore be denied a seat in the Senate from the beginning. The argument that both men have been elected following the primary ‘disclosures does not appeal to Senator Norris. He insists that since a can- djdate must be nominated before he can be elected many voters even while “holding theirs nostrils” refused to break party lines and party traditions and that in Illinois there was the ad- ditional fear on the part of the Re- ublicans that if they voted for the ndependent candidate the Democrat would -win. He also challenges the defense that the money spent for Vare was for educational purposes. He denies the correctness of this statement and says further that if it had been spent in | actual education of the voter it would have been illegitimate in the amount used, ~ New Mexico Governor Appears in Tuxedo Santa Fe, N.

id ° GIG GROUP FINDS } r t . ' PFT-OUT-THE-VOT National Federation Reports Futility of Nonpartisan Drive , Staged Last Year. JOHN*HAYS HAMMOND SHOWS 1926 FIGURES Declares Ballot in 24 States Fell Behind 1922, and in. 41 Below 1924. New York, Jan. 2 (By A. P.).— Apathetic voters can not be “hurrah- ead” to the polls, according to an “un- pleasant conclusion,” reached by the National Civic Federation, which made diligent nonpartisan efforts in the re- cent election to’ get out a heavy vote. In the announcement, made today, failure to equal the votes in the ‘off- year election of 1922 is reported in 24 States, while in 41 States the votes fell far behind the 1924 presidential year figures. This poor showing is despite the fact that the Civic Federation had the co- operation of the American Legion, the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, National League of Women Voters, American Federation of Labor, the United States Chamber of Commerce, Daughters of the American Revolution, National Education Association, Wom- en's Department of the National Civic Federation, National Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs, International Kiwanis and Lions Clubs, National Grange, National @raternal Congress, and United States Junior Chamber of Commerce. The National Association of Manu- facturers conducted a vigorous national get-out-the-vote campaign of its own and the American Legion had meetings to stimulate voting in more than -1,000 cities and towns. Some of the organi- zations named also conducted separate campaigns. Hammond Makes Report. , ‘ Results were reported by John Hays . * f 4 * of his - + .V. L.

Jan. 2—See where America and Mexico had a joint earthquake; that’s the only thing I ever heard that we split 50-50 with Mexico. Lucky for Mex- ico that she didn’t grab off more of the earthquake than we did or they would have got a note from Kellogg. It’s the influence from Moscow that is causing all this earth’s up- heaval. Yours for reciprocity in earth- quakes. MAYOR ROGERS. Frank L. Polk, former acting Secretary of State, and former Gov. Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, in his report, out- lining the detaits of the drive, Mr. Hammond said: “Let us not deceive ourselves but face the facts, however disquieting they may be. Comparison with both the 1924 and the 1922 vote fails to re- veal any cause for gratulation over the results of our 1926 work. “While in seven States—Arizona, Utah, Vermont, Maryland, Kentucky, New Mexico and Wyoming—the 1926 vote exceeded by 345,000 that of 1924, in the remaining 41 States the 1926 vote was 7,000,000 less than that of 1924. However, 1924 having been a presidential year, let us make the com- parison with 1922, the previous ‘off year’ when only State and Congres- sional candidates were elected. “There are sixteen States in which fewer’ votes were actually cast in 1926 than in 1922—Ohie, Indiana, New Jer- sey, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, Montana, Idaho, Delaware, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Arkansas and Virginia, and, when the increase in the number of eligible voters is taken into account, there hav- ing been 8,000,000 more in 1926 than in 1922, the following States also should be added to the list: Pennsyl- vania, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hamp- shire, Nebraska, Missouri, North Caro- lina, and New Mexico, “It is now clear from the results of the prodigious efforts of the public- spirited organizations in 1924 as well as\in 1926 that holding meetings, vot- ing resolutions, securing newspaper, radio and pulpit publicity and using all the other publicity adjuncts which we all employed will not accomplish the end sought, but that a campaign along more intensive and more practical lines must be organized. “There is another problem of out- standing interest to every voter—that 1s the method of making nominations. Shall we continue the direct primary system or go back to the convention plan? This long-standing question was landed in the forefront of party politics through the Pennsylvania and Illinois primary scandals last July. “Another topic of great popular in- terest is ‘compulsory voting.’ Senator Arthur Capper, a vice chairman of the department, has drafted a bill to im- pose a tax of 1 per cent upon the in- come of every delinquent voter. Other proposals looking to the same end are advocated. Certainly drastic action of some kind is invited by the ‘slacker vote’ spectacle in the past few elec- tions.”’ Phone Girls of Paris Fight Night-Work Law A fight is being made by telephone girls in Paris, France, to abolish a regu- lation forbidding night work by wom- en, Mrs.,Abby Scott Baker declared at a tea in her honor yesterday at the headquarters of the National Woman's party, 25 First street northeast. Mrs. Baker. represented the District at the meeting of the International Woman's Suffrage alliance, in Paris, last summer, and her address was in the nature of a report to the local group. Only men are allowed to operate switchboards at night in Paris, she said. The telephone girls were “much incensed,” she said, by this ‘insidious discrimination against their sex of “‘so- called protective laws.” Civic Group Attacks Enemies,of Dry Law Phon« Main 4276 R Methods of opponents of the prohibi- tion laws were criticized in a statement made public yesterday by the Citizens Committee of One Thousand, which will hold its annual meeting here Thursday..

HATO POLICE SEEK GAG ~ FOR STHPANG FC aie et ie Cee AS BH rm thy co a. ey. ier - J - iY aw pan ¢ es He Re 5 te Lae Many Stolen Machines Found Minus Tires and Accesso- ries, Victims Report. NOT EASILY IDENTIFIED ‘Detectives of the headquarters auto- mobile squad are concentrating their efforts on cleaning up a band of thieves who drive out of the city with automo- biles, strip them of their accessories and abandon them. In recent weeks a large number of reports of the recovery of automobiles have been made and each one has been discovered stripped. The theft of eight automobiles and nine thefts of accessories from parked cars were reported yesterday. The latest victim of the band, police believe, is George B. Mackey, 2220 Six- teenth street northwest. His car was recovered yesterday by Detective Henry M. Jett on the Virginia side of Key bridge. Its tires and other accessories were missing. Mackey’s car was stolen Saturday from in front of 3053 M street north- west. A general lookout order for it was sent through all local police pre- cincts and to all nearby towns. The report of its recovery led to a confirma- tion of the activities of the band of “stripping” thieves. Police are of the opinion that the thieves fear to dispose of the automo- biles, due to the fact owners usually remember the numbers of the engine and know the license number of the car. With automobile tires and acces- sories it is a different matter, they say, for few motorists are able to identify them. PROHIBITION SUNDAY IS SET FOR JAN. 16 Federal Council Asks: the Churches to Keep Anniver- versary of Dry Law. Nashville, Tenn. Jan. 2 (By A. P.).—The Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America has called upon the churches of the country to set apart Sunday, January 16, to celebrate the seventh anniversary of prohibition. An announcement here by Bishop James Cafinon, jr., says the adminis- trative committee of the federal coun- cil has asked that special sermons and addresses be delivered from pulpits on that day “on the value of the prohibi- tion law and the necessity for constant vigilance in the: fight of its enemies to prevent enforcement.” Bishop Cannon, who represents the Methodist Episcopal Church South, on the administrative committee and who also is a member of the federal coun- cil’s committee of seven on temper- ance, declared this is the first such ap- peal made by the administrative com- mittee, adding that it indicates. ‘the determination of the great religious bodies to stand by the prohibition amendment and demand its enforce- ment.” BLIND CAPTAIN BOXES ONE-LEGGED MAJOR Affair, Staged for the Royal Sussex Hospital, Is Declared Draw. Brighton, England, Jan. 2 (By A. P.)—A blind captain boxing a one- legged major, both wounded in the war, was the feature of a ring contest here for the benefit of the Royal Sussex County hospital. The event was a draw. Though he is an all-round sportsman, swimmer, diver and enthusiastic fol- lower of beagles, this was Capt. Gerald Lowry’s first public appearance as a boxer. Explaining after the match how it was possible to keep track of his oppo- nent and know where his opponent was going to hit him, the captain said: “A man, blinded as I was, straight off and not by gradual disease, can develop a sort of sixth’sense. It seems to be ,Rartly acute hearing, partly acute sensi- m.veness to sensations of touch. My opponent must breathe and that tells me where he is and helps me to guess what he is thinking about as much as if I could watch his eye. And when it comes to in-fighting, I am not handi- capped at all. With my superior sense of touch I believe I even have an ad- vantage.” His opponent was Maj. Micky Leahy, who lost his leg at Mons. Negroes to Oppose McLeod Appointment New York, Jan. 2 (By A. P.).—On the motion of Louis Marshall, constitu- tional lawyer, officials of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today were authorized to write to President Coolidge protest- ing against appointment of Thomas G. McLeod, of South Carolina, retiring governor, as a member of the Federal trade commission. The action of the negroes, taken at their annual meeting, was based on Gov. McLeod’s alleged failure to bring to justice lynchers of the three Low- mans, South Carolina negroes. Belasco’s Kecovery Likely to Be Long New York, Jan. 2 (By A. P.).—David Belasco, theatrical producer and dram- atist, today was reported to have passed a very uncomfortable night. Atten- dants on the injured man were not optimistic over his condition. They said it would likely be “a long time’”’ before he will fully have recovered from the shock received in an automobile col- lision New Year’s morning. His left eye lid was torn when he was thrown against the partition separatii.g him from the driver’s seat. Twin Born in 1926: Other Arrives in 1927 Special to The Washington Post. Cumberland, Md., Jan. 2.—Twins were born to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph P. Becker, Bedford road. The girl was born first in 1926, just 10 minutes before the new year, while the boy was:+born in 1927, just a few minutes after the new year bells rang. The girl weighs 8% pounds, and the boy 8% pounds. Both are doing well, as is also the mother. Italy May Satisfy Jugoslavs on Albania Paris, Jan. 2 (By A.

The American University Union al- ready has established centers, with a special library in London and Paris for students coniing from the United States. Italy will set up union headquar- ters in the beautiful library rooms of the historic Salviati palace in Rome. The number of American stu- dents is constantly increasing, many are enrolled in the American acad- emy and many study sculpture, painting and music independently. Numerous American students from Oxford and Cambridge, among them Rhodes scholars, come to Rome dur- ing the Christmas, spring and sum- mer holidays. Since 1920 special summer courses for American stu- dents have been arranged at the | Vaavereey of Rome. RESTAURATEUR SAYS CUSTOMER SHOT HIM Declares He Tried to Evict Man Who Became : _ Disorderly. When Christos Halarambides, 57 years old, proprietor of a restaurant at 209 John Marshall place northwest, tried to evict Mick Karjes, 207 John Marshall place, from his place of busi- ness last night, he precipitated a shoot- ing melee which ended in a trip to Casualty hospital, he told police. , Halarambides, who is suffering from a fiesh wound in the abdomen and a bullet wound in the right leg, told au- thorities Karjes fired four shots from a revolver in the course of the at- tempted eviction. The man turned over a table and acted disorderly, Halaram- bides said. Karjes was arrested by Policemen F. P. Kapp and A. D.

Code Trying Jesus Praised by Morrow ; ' OO Jesus was not tried by the rabble, but by the Sanhedrin, the tribuna: that has had the most just code of all, former Gov. Edwin P. Morrow, of Kentucky, asserted at the Hamline M. E. church services last night. The Sanhedrin’s code was fairer the code of United States courts, Morrow stated. No man could be demned on the testimony of one wit- ness; it required two or more and even after conviction the tribunal waited in hopes that something might turn. up to contradict the testimony, he said. But in the trial of Jesus, which was one of the greatest in the history of juris- prudente, the Sanhedrin debased the principles upon which it stood, he stated. than Gov. con- $12 Reported Stolen From Coat.

GANG CHARACTERS HELD Special to The Washington Post. Chicago, Jan. 2.—Lying slumped in the middle of a lonely roadway, the body of a young woman, dead from a bullet through her brain, was found in the gray dawn of Suhday morning, and Chicago police became aware that for the first time, in the significant argot of the underworld, a woman had been “taken for a ride.” The body was that of Mrs. Valeria Tymus, 17 years old. Police under the direction of Michael Hughes, captain of highway police, this evening had transferred their suspi- cions from the husband of the dead girl to one or two gangland characters. Having established a fairly satisfac- tory alibi,: Frank Tymus,. husband of the victim, was held while police di- rected their efforts toward locating one “Jammer,” actual name in doubt, well known to police as a panderer. He was known to have been an associate of the girl. Police were told by Susan Enokian, chum and confidante of the Tymus girl, that “Jammer” had per- suaded her friend, who was known also as Doris Times, to leave her husband and 6-week-old baby daughter, Ruth, and that she had intended to do so in the near future. Police learned that. thr girl had gone to Susan’s home Saturday, where she remained until about 11:30, sipping wine and enjoying herself in the com- pany of Susan and two young men, Rocco Lacardo and Harold Edwards. The trio all insisted Mrs. Tymus went with them to a restaurant, and that upon leaving there they separated, the girls each going home alone. The Tymus girl’s route to her zome led past a saloon, and she wr3 known to have bestowed her fickle favor on Charles. Miller, keeper of the place, with whom she had not been on good terms lately. Joseph .-Dobbins, another for- mer sweetheart, was also brought in for questioning. ALBION DROPS DUTIES TO SCORE AS SINGER Washington Opera Director in First Appearance Since Coming to City. Edouard Albion, founder and general director of the WasShington Opera Co., who has been presenting temperamen- tal stars of grand opera to Washing- ton for the last eight years, laid aside his role of impresario yesterday after- noon and won an ovation as a singer at a concert and reception in his honor before 500 high government officials, members of the diplomatic corps, roy- alty, society and business leaders who crowded the Congressional Country club. / Praising the impresario’s “great work for Washington,” in building the Wash- ington -Opera Co., Frank W. Mondell, president of the club, to an accom- paniment of enthusiastic applause, de- clared the people of Washington never again will be satisfied to have Mr. Al- bion remain silent. The concert yesterday afternoon was the first time Mr. Albion has sung in public since he came to Washington nine years ago to sing a concert in the National theater. George Wilson ac- companied him.

HOLD SCIENCE. AIDS GOD New York, Jan. 2 (By A. P.).—Man is “incurably religious” through the reality of his spiritual nature and its relation to God, in the belief of 100 leading American clergymen of vari- ous denominations from more than 50 cities in the United States. A composite statement on religion was made public today as a New Year's message from these clergymen to the people of the United States. It was prepared. at the request of the church advertising department of the Inter- national Advertising association. “These eminent clergymen,” says the announcement, “were requested to state what great religious.message they be- lieved should be sent out to the people of America at the beginning of the new year. Their replies were welded into this single statement by the Rev. Charles Stelzle, president of the church advertising department, and submitted to them for their final approval.” “Scientific knowledge,” says the mes- sage, “does not shorten the arm of God—it lengthens: it. It reveals the purpose of God. It indicates the partnership of God. and man in fulfill- ing his plans for the complete redemp- tion of the world.” Concerning religion in the life of hu- manity, the’ clergymen declare “the reality of man’s spiritual nature and its relation to God makes him ‘incurably religious.. He may be alien to the church and to its customs, but he usu- ally believes in God and accepts the value of religion as a force in human, life.” “It is the purpose of religion,” the message continues, “‘to make God more fully known to men, in order that the fundamental needs of the race may be satisfied.” Declaring that Christianity is “not a tottering structure” or a “failing in- stitution,” the clergymen point to the spread of Christian churches through- out the world. “In spite of their shortcomings,” the message says, “they have been instru- mental in bringing about a civilization which today is the best the world has ever known. And tomorrow it will be better.” The church proclaims the gospel, “which is capable of solving every problem facing humanity today, so that soon there may be a new world wherein dwelleth righteousness in all -relation- ships.” Citizen Body to Argue On Street Car Merger MINISTERS DECLARE MAN | i ’ | } | } ' | | A possible merger of Washington’s street raiiways will be discussed at a/| meeting tomorrow night of the Colum- | bia Heights Citizens association at 8 o’clock in the Columbia Heights Chris- | tian church, 1435 Park road northwest.

¥ correctly Firstly Be sure you use India Tea, or a blend’ containing India Tea. Secondly Use an earthen« ware teapot, and put into it one good teaspoonful of India Tea for each cup of tea required. Be sure you pour the water into the teapot the moment it boils. Only fresh boiling water can bring cut the true flavour of the tea. Hot wateris nouse.

For great was the crowd that migrated there yes- terday. Perhaps after all it is the shows that are doing the work—the kind, char- acter and quality. This week it is Nora Bayes on the stage and James Oliver Curwood’s novel “The Flaming Forest” on the screen. The combina- tion is excellent, Both are fastidious tid-bits of showdom. Miss Bayes sings @ group of her own popular songs replete with hurmanneéss, }) humor, tenderness and just plain non- sense packaged in personality. Fav- orites were “Rags,” ‘‘Mississippi” and Red-Hot Mommers’—what becomes of them? “The Flaming Forest” is a splendid picturization of frontier days of. Can- ada Northwest. It is a story of the establishment of law and order by the government in “any man’s land,” North of the Western border, It pictures the éstablishment of the Canadian mounted police and the rescue of the settler Opulation of Western Canada by them rom ah Indian half-breed determined upon ceétting up & governtnent of his own there and driving out the whites. The usual love story runs through the play—Sargt. Dick and a beautiful white girl—Renee Adoree, The sergeant is played by Antonio Moreno. There is plenty of action through the length of the film and the customary high-light of a whole populace trapped in a stockade by murderous Indians with 300 mounted police, brave and hardy, many miles away. The picture is ecpecially notable for several soeries done in natural colors. The red coats of the British soldiery and golden stubbied wheat fields blend beautifully, the flag at the fort—the union jack—closing the play tn natural colors flung to the breeze is very ef- fective. In addition to the two stellar at- tractions there is a good comic Terry strip an organlogue by Dick Liebert, ing a song and an Orchestral prelude by the Palace orchestra under the direc- tion of Conductor Gannon, featuring popular song hits by Miss Bayes. | KEITH’S Will Mahoney runs away with the comedy honors at Keith’s, where he is headliner this week, as Will Mahoney usually does in almost any company. He has the same old bag of tricks and a return to his burlesque of the mammy singers. There is only one complaint to be registered against the new year’s bill assemnbled by Manager Roland Robbins. It is too long—that is, it was too long at the opening matinee. Perhaps from now on there will be curtailment of Mme. Ann Codee’s speeches. Thesé help to slow the action. Madame incidentally has a trained troupe of her own that, after working at various spots in the bill, stages an aftermath, with Frank Orth as the funny man. The bill gets away to a wonder start with an unusual bar gymnast in the person of "Ora.” Then comes a quar- tet—Schaefer, Wall, McVeety and Bel- low—that sings well even against some |; axeeee instruments, twelve in Freddie Clark’s regular orchestra and four in | the hands of the singers. A little soft | pédaling would help here. Carlton Emmy and his madwags prove to be a dog trainer and a bevy of dutiful dumb animals, sll ready to hearken to the miastet’s voice. Hailed as the foremost éxponents of the Apache, Deno and Rochelle, dancers, have with them Pepino and Dilworth. This is a good dance act. The concert quartet furnishes music. The auditorium orphonic victrola 1 again pressed into servicé, playing two tecords—a selection from “Cavalléria’ Rusticana” and a song by John Mc- Cormack. Aesop's fablés, an overture by the Keith’s orchéstra, Topics of the Day and Pathe News film round out a dandy bill, in which Florence Vernon, & promising your dancér, ahd her as- distants, Jack Deakin ani Irving Shel- don, have parts. They, too, are féa- tured in the aftermath—the general round-up of talent under direction of Mme. Ann Codee, who has an act of her own. to the next world and perhaps the signet seal of the hotise owner. “But this room was distinguished by heving a niche in the end wall and in front of the niché a raised block of brickwork like atr altar.

Van and Schenck ate exceptionally good in a number of offerings, includ- ing “My Pal,” “Breezing Along” and “Jennie Flynn,” and answered to four encores. Schenck's personality and ges- tures and Van's plano playitig add much to the performance. ae A commbination of comedy, moledrama and Weatern gun toting, “The Nervous Wreck” forms a good vehicle for the versatile actor, Harrison Ford. While hot being a great picture in any sense nor having any big eetg and with but one tensé moment, that of an -automo- bile chase through the mountains, ‘The Nervous Wreck” is a pleasing comedy and affords much amusement for dis« pensing the blues. The capable supporting cast includes athens yrohiwid Pp sying opposite Ford; nklin, Mack Swain and Ho- bart Bosworth. i Henry Williatns (Ford), a nervous wreck, motors in an old machine to the West, having been told by doctors that he has but three months to live and wishing to die in the great open spaces. He arrives at the ranch of Jud Morgan, Where he becomes a boarder, bécatise Sally Morgan, the daughter, cooks well, an undertaker is nearby and they grow lilies on the ranch. Sally becomes in- fatuated with him, thus arousing the ire of Bob Wells; the sheriff, to whom she is affianced. The story moves to the ranch of Jerome Underwood (Mack Swain), and after many embarrassing situations Henry (Ford) forgets he is a hervous wreck, and the picture ends after a most thrilling automobile chase around sharp curves on the slope of a mountain. , Fox Newsreel and an Aesop fable are the additional film numbers. “Victor Herbert Favorites,” the overture by the orchestra, Daniel Breeskin conducting, and the exit march, “Hisie Schulzen- heim,” were well rendered. EARLE Greeted by large audiences, the Earle ‘holiday bill plays through nearly three hours with hardly a dull moment in the vaudeville or feature picture. Juva Marconi, Italian: dancer, and "|formerly a featured aftist with “Zieg- feld Follies,” dances wonderfully and with a finished: artistic touch. Her “pallet. girls” are pleasing. Miss Mar- copi’s balloon dance, and the _ gor- geous settings of the entire act deserve mention. “Misses and Kisses,’’ presented by C. B. Maddock with a cast of 13 singers, dancers and fun makers, is quite a revue. The singing pleased the atdi- ence, the jokes were good, but the dancing was best. The littie girl who has the “baby son,” can’t have much said for. her voice, but her person- ality wins. 4 Lillian Roth, as the “Winsome Miss,” brings out her real self in the song, “I Wish I Had My Pal Back Again.” Stan Kavanah & Co., the latter be- ing an attendant who brought in the “clubs,” amuses the audience, but very few of his juggling tricks are néw. His comedy adds to the act. “Fun at the Circus” forms the come- dy end of the bill and goes.over big, honors going to Fred Deimar, the lion tamer, Frank Patton and Jack Grant, as “Zero” and “Buddy,” respectively. Johnny Hines is the star in the pho- toplay, “Stepping Along.” The film is a fast moving comedy, with thrillé and romance. Hines does fine acting and rincipals in which are Mary Brian, William Gaxton; -Lee Briggs and Ed- mond Breece. Hines) is an ambitious young man eager to be a lawyér, but at present only a small business man living in Mrs. Pepper's boarding house. ere ‘also lives Molly Taylor (Mary Brian) with whom John falls in love. The tival is Frank Moreland (William Ma- gon), assemblyman from the local dis- trict. Circumstances place John and Frank as nominees in the next election. Bé- fore this event, however, Molly has quatreled with both boys and it is quite évident that she will choose the win- ner. The picture is satisfying both as to plot and comedy, is well directed and entertaining. The newsreel ahd musical offerings by the orchestra and ofganist complete the bill. For the first week in the new year, Victor Hyde is presenting the Strand’s permanent cast of 22 artists in his com- edy hit “Around the Clock” in 70 min- utes. Irvin B. Hamp walks away with -the, show, taking top honors with his co- workers, Lew Lewis and Berl Root. Hamp and Lewis makke the house roar with thelr burlesque Egyptian dance in the finale. 7 Kathleen Butler still puts over her gong, "I Made You Happy When I Cried,” with the twelve jazz babies do- ing @ peppy dancing chorus. Florence Drake sings “Tentin’ in Tennessee with the Tennessee doilliés strutting around. , As bellhops and chatibermaids, the Folliés Bergere Gitls put some dancing pep into the Hotel Strand in the open- ing number. : The finale, “An Oriental Fantasy,” has been cleverly staged by Victor Hyde with Billle La Monte singing “Egypt.” The entite company appears in the chorus a8 Egyptians.

The story revolves around a titled chap by the name of Sir Michae Fariie. Sir Michael is something of a @lobe trotter and good democrat. He drifts into London after a world cruise, falls in lové with a girl by virtue of a personal collision on the street and de- termines that she shall be Lady Farlie. The road to Sir Michael's love leads through @ maze of ‘evolutions attached to her occupation—that of a private secretary to an upstart family—one of those suddenly made rich and de termined upon social conquests. In the end Sir Michael reaches his goal. A possible criticism of the play lies in the fact’ that it oarries with it a by- plot of as considerable interest as the main plot. This makes necessary a weaving back and forth of interest on the part of the audience which is not ge One becomes as fully absorbed m the capture of the villain in the lay as in the consummation of the ove story of Sir Michael's. Denny and Miss Olmstead are chartningly cast. The stage attraction, “Round the Bases,” by a collegiate group—Sterns brothers—is & musical number of sizable proportions featuring “the boys” in individual and group selections. There is a bit of clog dancing that adds to-the program and a comedy stunt or two at the piano and on the stage. ‘In addition to thé two above attrac- tions there is an organlogue by Otto F. Beck, reposeful in character and render- ed with the true index of an artist. The usual small offerings are in evidence as embroidery pieces, the whole swung into action by the Rialto orchestra, with Conductor Rox Rommel at the head of the column. es COLUMBIA The Columbia management .. has chosen well to hold over “We're in the Navy Now” another week, if judging from the capacity audiences of yester- Gay is any sign. This picture is a comedy of the first class with finished comedians in the persons of Wallace Berry and Raymond Hatton. The picture almost parallels that other war comedy “Behind the Front,” having the same stars, the same director and a somewhat similar theme. Berry and Hatton hardly could be funnier than they are as “Knockout” Hanseh and “Shrimp” Dolan, two men in the prize fight game who get into a bigger fight, the late war. They don't do it intentionally, but get mixed up with a parade, and when the excite- ment is over they are in the navy, aboard a warship headed toward dan- gerous waters. Of their escapades while with the navy not even an outline can be given. They are humerous, sometimes excit- ing, always very funny and frequently they involve superior officers and even spies. ‘There is no let-up in comedy; the picture keeps one laughing from begin- ning to ehd. , “We're in the Navy Now’ has no lav- ish settings, no brilliant costuming, no drama or deep plot, but thorough com- edy, and is a picture worth holding over another week. Wallace Betry and Ray-+ mond Hatton make fine gobs—excellent “green” ones. Chester Conklin, Tom Kennedy and Donald Keith have the chief supporting roles. Mabel Normand’s comedy “Nickel Hoppers,” newsreel and musical selec- tions by the Columbia orchestra, Leon Brusilof directing, complete the hold- oun a -over program. is supported by a capable cast, the/, GAYETY Billy Watson slid into the Gayety yesterday afternoon with his lively cotipany of girls and boys, in a big fun show that keeps going for two and one- half frollicking hours. Watson is assisted in his clowning by Jack Heath and Frank Mallahan. Carlita and Dick Lewis sing everything from grand opera to the song of the Big Parade. They both have rather good voices. Jasper Stroupe put over several songs in a tenor which made the folks demand more... His bizgest hit was Honeymoon Timé, in which he was assisted by the well-trained chorus. Peggy Mayo is blondely attrac- tive, in other words she is a female of the preferred variety. She also wears some stunning costumes well. The colored specialty, without which no burlesque of the present time is que complete, is supplied by the hirlwind Four, three acrobatic young high-yellows and a young woman who sings and dances acceptably. The thing always appréciated about these colored performers is theif unending pep. The spectator is always afraid something will be broken-——probably a leg. The chorus is dressed and trained as fiicely as a good chorus should be. The scenery is very good. And that’s that! CHURCH FEDERATION FOR SMALLER NAVY Resolution Backs Coolidge’s “Opposition to Enlarged Ex- penditures for Cruisers.” _ (By the Associated Press.) A resolution conveying to President Coolidge and members of Congress an expression of “whole-heartéd support” of Mr. Goolidge’s “opposition to en- largéd naval expenditures for the build- ing-of additional cruisers at this time,” was made public yesterday by the ad- ministrative committee of Council of Churches, The committee déclared it believed “th broadetiing the application of the spifit and prindipies of the limitation of afifaments formulated at the Wash- ington conference,” and expressed the hope that Congress will cooperate with the President “in over? possible way in carrying ot this policy.” Sithultaneously, the National Couh- cil for Prevéntion of War issued a com- pilation of British and American light é6ruisér strength to show that while Great Britain in 1952 will have a eon- aiderable advantage over the United Statés in the hiuthber of vessels, half of those of the formef nation now in ex- istence will be 15 or more yeafs old, “and thus obsolete,” whéreas Ameéfica’s crulséfs were completed between 1923 and 19265. ——_— = Skyscraper Shaken .

(By the Associated Press.) Reviewing the country’s foreign trade for 1926, Dr. Julius Klein, chief of the bureau of foreign commerce, declared yesterday that its expansion had been uninterrupted, and that the future promised a still further increase. Any | shift in the currents of business enter- prise which would tend to reduce ac-, tivity in domestic markets, he predict- ed, would bring about marked increase in the export volume of commodities which this country now supplies to the world, Dr. Klein expressed the view despite estimate that the country’s 1926 trade balance is less favorable than it has been since 1910, and that actual exports of the United States in 1926, about #4,800,000,.000 in money value, | were slightly less than those for 1925. A decline in the price of cotton was held accountable for the drop, exports of manufactured goods being greater than ever before. “Our own industry, constantly gain- ing in efficiency, despite the highest wages in the world, is able to produce many classes of highly finished goods atl a lower cost than prevails elsewhere, and to produce goods of superior qual- ity which appeal to the buyers of every land,” Dr. Klein said. World “The business depression in England, and the disposition of certain European countries to curtail their jmports are factors temporarily tending to cut down world commerce, but with the progress Cuts Commerce. ada and the East Indian region, total orld trade held up fairly well in 1926, And our share in it, at lgast so far as inanufactured commodfties are con- cerned, was more than maintained,” he added The final balance of trade resulting from the international exchange of commodities, he predicted, would show a figure favorable to the United States of between $300,000,000 and $350,000,- 000. The United States might be looked to, he added, to continue itm- porting in ever-increasing amounts. Part of the explanation for this, he said, lay in the fact that Americans ere now drawing substantial interest and dividends from investments and loans abroad, and “since these inflow- ing funds constitute a means of pay- ing for exports, sinajler excess of exports over imports must, appear except so far as continued large new investments abroad | this inflow. Aided by a Investments. ‘However,’ he said, “these invesi- | ments serve to increase production’ in the countries where they are placed, to, yaise the standara of living and thus 40 create greater demand for American goods. Foreign investments tend to build up trade in both directions.” One of the marked gains in Ameri- can exports for 1926 affected South American business, which reached a/| total of &450,000,000, indicating a quan- tity of purchasing there greater than ever before. The total of imports. from all sections of the world, Dr. Klein placed at about %4,450,000,000 for 1926, | or 39 per cent more than those of 1925, | indicating the largest commodity in-| flow ever recorded. The vast quantities of raw materials, of tropical and semitropical foodstuffs represented by ‘the total, he ‘ said, proved that the United States has become ane enor- mously important factor in the eco-| probably will be decided on the basis nomic hfe of the world.’’ Gladstone’s Daughter Dies at Hawarden London, Jan. 2 (By A.

The number of dubious minerals included will provide the Smithsonian mineralogists an op- portunity to add to existing ciasstfica- tfons. «Mineral collecting was the constant hobby of Col. Roebling’s vivid and varied career. During the civil war the colonel built bridges for the Federal army over the Shenandoah and Rap- pahanock rivers, and as an observer in a captive balloon was the first to dis- cover Gen. Lee’s advance on Gettysburg. With his own hands he helped drag he cannon up Little Round Top at/! Ciettysburg, which played so important ©; part in the second day’s battle. On the death of his father in 1869 Col. Roebling took over the building of the Brooklyn bridge, the construction of which proved one of the greatest engineering feats of the century. His health was broken in 1872 while work- ing in one of the compressed air cats- sons, in which he spent more time than ahd other man. He. directed construc- tion thereafter from a sick bed. During his busy years as an enginecr eud a menufacturer, mineral collecting became an important part of his life.

Reports regarding the situation in kio Grande do Sul, Brazil, where a rebel- lious movement has been in progress for some time, are conflicting.

Revolutionary sources, on the other hand, say that Zeccanetto did.not par- ticipate in the battle, but that several hundred men, intent on joining his army, crossed into Uruguay on learning of the proximity of the loyal troops.

In many respects the year-end forecasts were more favorable than those of a year ago when the whole country was en- joying the fruits of a vigorous trade expansion and an unbroken rise in the stock -market. Business leaders at that time were reluctant to extend their optimistic predictions beyond the first six months of the year and warnings of impending setbacks were reiterated from time to time within that period. With their fears for the most part unrealized and with new high records established in manufacturing activity and corporate earnings, the close of the year found bankers and business men in a cheer- ful mood, confident that 1927 would bring a repetition of last year's highly Successful operations. Possible Danger Signs. A few dissenting opinions were ¢x- pressed, taking for their basis the low level of cotton and other commodity prices, the large holdings of securities by the banks, the uncertainties of the building industry and the increasing homeward flow of foreign capital which has found refuge here during several years of unsatisfactory condftions abroad. These factors, however, are not recognized as necessary forerun- ners of trade or financial reaction, but only as possible danger. signs which may become more serious as the year unfolds. — The holiday period from which the country has just emerged is tradition- ally a poor time in which to unearth any tangible clues to the immediate trend of business. Most of the develop- ments actually were disappointing, but the seasonal letdown in many lines of industry will not necessarily be extend- ed into the new year. As the year came to a close the pro- duction curve in the steel industry was.moving downward in contrast with the upward trend of a year ago. Pre- liminary estimates point to a record steel ingot output of about 47,000,000 tons, however, and the trade reviews predicted that consumption would’ soon expand. to a point which would permit a return to the high producing rate of 1926. Railroad business for some time has been the bulwark of the steel mar- ket and is still the leading factor in potential tonnage. Northwest’s Good Showing. One of the most satisfying features of the November railroad earning re- ports was the good showing of the ‘Northwestern. carriers. Aggregate in- come of the class 1 roads was larger than for the same month a year ago, although some of the large companies showed disappointing returns. Freight traffic continued to fall off toward the end of the year. Fertilizer Makers Hopeful for Year (By the Associated Press.) Despite the fact that the situation rising out of overproduction of cotton has impinged on the fertilizer industry, the National Fertilizer association sees a favorable future. The farmers’ purchasing power, the association said, has decreased $3,000,- 000,000, which has had its effect on the purchase of fertilizer, but added that “the longer look ahead in the fer- tilizer industry is good.” Accept some of the good things which lar Republican leaders. this session of the Senate and secretly they were attempting to reach some Yo Balk a Killing | 'compromise by which Smith could be | allowed to take the oath of office.

Southern Demo- crats and regular Republicans will be found veting together on both sides of the question and the indications now are that Smith will not be allowed his seat even for a time.

If his case.is re- ferred to a committee and he is not summarily rejected final action may come at a period when it will em- barrass the Senate's legislative program. Senate: Inquiries Sought.

Monday, January 3, 1927. a ee) CONGRESS CONVENES. When Congress convenes again today if will face a long and important program. The ap- propriation bills are already well advanced, eonference committees having devoted much time of the recess to disputed matters between the two houses. less than 60 working days re- main of this session, and both houses must work rapidly and expeditiously if the needs of the government are to be properly considered. Among other measures pressing for action are the banking bill, the alien property bill, the farm relief bill and the matter of admit- ting certain senators. It is predicted that if the Senate launches the latter controversy the passage of appropriation bills may be en- dangered, necessitating an extra session of Congress. Few members of Congress want an extra session of Congress after March. 4. Extra sessions of Congress are umnecessary except in cases of an emergency such as war or internal peril. Out of every two years, the term of a representative, there is, as a rule, a recess of 13 months. Of the 24 months, less than one-half is devoted to session work. Pas goes right on during the time devoted to vaca- tion. When the whole country asks for the solu- tion of important problems touching the wel- fare of the nation, wholly outside of appropria- tion bills, it seems strange and unnecessary for Congress to consume more than one-half of its time in vacations. Short sessions should be abolished. RATIFY THE TURKISH TREATY. lt is expected that the Senate will soon take up the Lausanne treaty between the United States and Turkey. Unless better reasons for rejecting the convention can be presented than those advanced up to the present time it should be ratified without further delay. ~ One of the principal arguments in favor of ratification is found in the fact that the au- thorities of American benevolent and educa- tional institutions in Turkey, who have first hand knowledge of conditions, have united in an appeal to the Senate to take immediate ac- tion. In a joint letter addressed to each sena- tor, these organizations call attention to the material aid received from the Turkish govern- ment in their activities since the treaty was signed. Turkey has granted to American rep- resentatives and American institutions all the rights and privileges of the most favored na- ; tion. These rights will be guaranteed if the treaty is ratified. But if ratification is re- fused or still further delayed it is feared that those privileges will be denied. Furthermore, says the letter, ‘the mutual confidence which Bas been developed during these three years would be shattered.’’ All the religious and philanthropic organi- zations that have maintained relations with the new government of Turkey during the past three or four years are united in support of the ratification of the convention, for they are convinced that ratification will give stability to their activities in educational and charitable work in the Near East, which activities have brought honor to America. Diplomatic relations between the United States and Turkey were severed after the United States entered the war, and while there was no declaration of hostilities there has been no treaty relationship between the two coun- tries duv ug the last ten years. a are neater COMMERCE OF 1926. The national foreign trade counci! announdes that America’s proportion of the world’s ex- ports was higher during 1926, both in volume and value, than ever before. The United States exported more products to a wider range of markets and imported more products from a wider range of sources of supply than in 1925. In products requiring salesmanship. abroad, such as finished manufactured products, the first ten months of the year alone showed a gain in exports of more than $120,000,000. Another feature of American export trade of last year was the wide distribution of prod- ucts which go to make it up. The records of the first nine months show that 41 per cent of the exports were comprised of products no one of which comprised more than 1 per cent of the total. In 1925 this proportion was only 34 per cent. Europe took a lesser proportion of American goods last year than in the preceding year, but.Asia increased her takings by 24 per | cent, Africa by 16 per cent, Japan and South | America by 11 per cent, and Canada by 13 per cent. The Irish Free State increased its pro- portion of purchases from this country more than any other nation. The volume of goods consigned to Ireland was more than doubled during the first nine.months of 1936. The british coal strike, the poor wheat crop in Russia, and Germany’s decreased borrow- ings abroad contributed to the decline in Euro- pean oxports from the United States. The third quarier of the year, however, shewed a gain of $11,000,000 over the third quarter of 1925, and the recovery is still in progress. _ -» Based on the returns for eleven months ex- emrts in 1926 should reach close to $4,300,000,- | ‘ 4 Sie Yk Le), ‘iis Pati ia 5 Be ee ee ie ‘ aes Mp Y, ‘ : oe ie b Ah ; | ee E Ff 1 Oe 000 and imports in the néighborhood ‘of $4,450,000,000, two-thirds of which constitute an addition to the stock df raw: materials, the | balance being manufactured goods.

Under the terms of the new farm relief ’ bill, now before Congress, the proposed Fed- eral farm board is to, be clothed’ with almost | swine. unlimited power to prevent and: dispose of a surplus of either wheat, cotton, corn, rice or The board may compel growers to ‘limit acreage, and \it.may buy ‘up and store registered | | these commodities. It may even destroy or ' burn them if such action will prevent a sur- _plus, provided such a course meets with the oe ee ee we approval of the district council where the operations are to be .carried on.” Anything above the domestic requirements is to be deemed a surplus. The board first is required to estimate the probable advances required, and ‘the losses, costs and charges incident to the operation of destroying or dis- posing of a surplus, and these items are to be divided proportionately among the pro- ducers. It might be well for members of Congress to study these provisions of the proposed measure before approving them. The pro- posed Federal farm board apparently is to have power to destroy farm wealth in order to boost prices. If so, the question arises, js it sound economics to destroy wealth of any kind in order to depress the supply and raise prices? It has always been held that the production of wealth is the key te national prosperity. now it is proposed to restrain production in order to boost the price of the limited supply. If this is not restraint of trade and inter- ference with supply and demand, and dis- criminating against the general consuming public, what is it? FEDERAL CONTROL OF SPORT.

A NEW.YEAR'S GIPFT.. “The finest private collection in the world” is the superlative language used by the Smith- sonian institution in announcing the latest-ad- >" dition to its collection of mineral specimens. John A. Roebling, who,.together with his fa- ther, built the Brooklyn bridge, has presented to the museum the wonderful collection of minerals which was the pride of Col. Washing- ton Roebling, and which is unequaled by any other collection in the world. Mr. Roebling. has endowed the institution with a fund of $150,000.to insure the mainte- nance of the collection in the front rank to which his father had brought it. There are in all some i6,000 specimens, to which will be added 9,000 from the collection of Frederick A. Canfield, which was presented to the Smith- sonian two months ago, and which was Hke- wise endowed with a gift of $50,000 by the donor. When it is remembered that the total num- ber of well-defined minerals known to exist in the world is about 1,500, and that Col. Roeb- ling lacked less than 16 of these, the impor- tance of the gift will be better appreciated. The collection contains a number of rarities, such as a 64-carat black diamond from South Africa. It is a perfect crystal. and is belleved to be one of the largest black diamond crystals A group of nine Arkansas diamonds contains one of 18 carats, which was, up till _ two years ago, the largest known from Arkan- sas. A black opal from Humboldt county, Ne- vada, weighs 18 6-10 ounces, being the largest precious opal known. Among the cut stones there is a $10-carat peridot from the Island of St. John in the Red sea. It is supposed to have adorned the image of a saint in an Austrian church for some three centuries. A wine-colored topaz from Brazil weighs 93 carats. An exceptional alexandrite of 32 carats from Ceylon shows green in sun- light and red in artificial light. The finest group of precious tourmalines ever taken from Mesa Grande, California, adorn the Roebling collection. Maine contrib- uted its finest purple apatite. A rare 4carat cut blue euclase from Brazil is exceptional in color and size. These invaluable additions to the attractions of the Smithsonian are being arranged for in- spection and will be available to the public within a very short time. wt na WISE WORDS FOR WOMEN. Tt may not be too much to hope that “the ladies of the land” will give heed to Miss Sarah Schuyler Hutler when she suggests in plain English that they forget that there is a divid- ing line between the sexes, politically, and that instead of joining in all sorts of feminist movements to accentuate the fact that “all citizens are separated into two genders,’’ they sheuld resolve with the advert of the new year “to drop feministic and sex-conscious ideas and get down to work.” } Miss Butler says that there is great need for women in politics, and no one will dispute that 'étatement. She thinks that the women are taking more and more interest ‘n matters polit- | {cal each year. Party toyalty ts essential to en ren mn ea ee ee oe Fete etn success if the women desire political equality with the men. tant political conferences, in the opinion of Miss Butler. is to inspire the leaders with confidence in her political judgment.” But the lady points out to her sisters that the ‘‘political chores’’ have to be done, and that the way to the top of the heap is to start from the bottom. That is not Emphasizing the necessity for realizing that party loyalty is a prime requisite for party preference, Miss Butler suggests that ‘‘and in working for a party a woman binds herself to abide by the will of the majority in the or- ganization. suffrage movement.’’ Miss Butler’s suggestions as to party loyalty might be considered by some men in both houses of Congress who seem to delude them- | selves into the belief that party affiliation is necessary only during the primaries and that party cooperation is out of place in the House | and Senate. PROPOSED COAL LEGISLATION. “Yo protect the government and the public | from shortage of coal’ is the title of the bill | which will be considered in the executive ses- sion of the House committee on interstate and foreign commerce on January 11. This bill was prepared by Chairman Parker of the com- mittee during the recess, and is based upon the measures which were considered during the first session of the present Congress, and as a result of the views expressed by miners, operators and others who attended the hear- ings. The Parker bill provides first for the ascer- tainment of all facts which may have a bear- ing upon the bituminous, lignite and anthra- cite coal industry. All matters of administra- tion connected with coal mining, such as the ascertainment of production costs, wages, num- ber of employes, methods of marketing and distributing, stocks on hand from time to time, selling prices, and every other factor entering into the matter of mining and distributing the fuel, are hereafter,to be under the jurisdiction and control of the bureau of mines of the De- partment of Commerce; which bureau is given the right to demand all essential information from operators and others having connection with the industry, refusal to comply with the demands of the bureau making the person guilty of such refusal subject to a fine of $5,000 or imprisonment for one year. One section of the pfoposed act authorizes the President to conciliate differences, ‘‘en- courage arbitration, or to act as mediator’’ be- tween operators and employes, and whenever, by reason of a strike or lockout, or the possi- bility of such interruption of production likely to cause a shortage of coal, he may reach the conclusion that. an emergency exists ‘‘which substantially restrains. interrupts, or inter- | There are only two ways for | women to get: themselves invited into impor- | “One is for her to become so | influential that she is necessary, and the other .the exact language of Miss Butler, but that is | her meaning. | Nonpartisan organizations com. | posed only of women are as out of date as the | | | feres with interstate or foreign commerce, or | which involves imminent threat thereof, he Shall by proclamation declare the existence of such emergency.”’ On the date of the issuance of such a proc- lamation certain sections of the coal emer- gency act of September 22, 1922. are revived and in full effect. They extend the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission to the control of the movement and distribution of coal and the regulation of car service priori- ties, and also vest in the Secretary of Com- merce the power to prevent the sale of fuel ‘at unjust and unreasonably high prices. Apparently the proposed legislation gives the President the necessary power to prevent the tying up of the industries of the nation through the failure of coal operators and min- ers to adjust their differences. The agreement between coal miners and mine owners is about to expire, and unless Congress at this session can reach a basis for the framing of legislation which, will réduce to the minimum the chance for turmoil be- tween operators and their employes, strikes and lockouts may occur, Mr. Parker is hope- ful that the meeting of his committee next week will result in legislation calculated to in- sure peace in the soft coal regions. THE PROHIBITION UNIT. The public is interested in the work of the prohibition unit in the internal revenue bureau. The reorganization and decentralization of this service planned and partly carried out in 1925 was completed during 1926. The offices of the former 51 Federal prohibition directors were abolished and 24 prohibition districts estab- lished in their place, each in charge of,a pro- hibition administrator. The United States con- tains 22 such districts while the Hawaiian Islands and Porto Rico each comprise one. The districts are bound in every instance save two by Federal judicial lines, and the prohibition administrators keep in close touch and cooperate with United States attorneys in all matters connected with prohibition enforce- ment. The Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in charge of customs, coast guard and prohibition, has organized within the prohibition unit two special squads to cooperate with prohibition administrators in the enforcement of the na- tional prohibition act. One squad combats the diversion of alcohol to beverage purposes and one is assigned to prevent breweries from re- leasing high-powered beer. A supervisor of wine control also has been appointed to handle the control of sacramental wine. A force of under-cover investigators has been assigned to conduct interdistrict investigations of major violations of the national prohibition act. — Conventions have been entered into between the United States and Cuba and between the United States and Mexico for the suppression of the smuggling of intoxicating liquor into the United States from those countries. There were 3,589 employes on the rolls of the unit at the close of the last fiscal year. More than 1,828 pieces of mail passed through the section of mail control. Prohibition agents made more than 58,000 arrests and seized nearly 6,000 automobiles valued at about $2,- 877,000 and 187 boats valued at more than $225,500. More than 52,900 prohibition cases were handled in the Federal courts, and more than 41,000 persons were convicted, of whom 13,300 were given jail sentences. The courts imposed sentences aggregating about 4,800 years and fines amounting to more than $7,- | $5,200. Tax penalties, court fines and for- foitures collected total $5,231,000% | | lunch stools ? 4 Ay Z rie Zi GLGaZ ratify J YY (07 f / The Worst Offender of All. onda sf stiaecalts: ’ - - +: et, j +mmee —=._ PRESS COMMENT.

Philadelphia Record: That Nobel peace prize for 1925, which has been awarded to Vice President Dawes, was well deserved. Mr. Dawes did a great work in helping to frame the report of the reparations commission, and the value of his services is shown in the success of the plan in actual operation.

F ederal Baseball Control Boomed by New Charges Feeling for U. §. Supervision Grows After Risberg’s Allegations, Senator Capper De- clares—Kelly Drawing Up Bill. rage on the scandal salient of sport received impetus yesterday with publication of the Risberg reports from the conscience-treatment cham- bers of Commissioner Landis in Chi- cago, according to the Associated Press. Although the Capitol was deserted, synchronized movements in both houses looking to legislation which would bring organized baseball under a measure of Federal control were the topic of con- versation in half a dozen holiday re- treats of senators and representatives, and at least one member of each house indicated last night he would press for action in the Cobb-Speaker and Risberg turmoils this week. ft prospective congressional bar- Representative Kelly, of Pennsyl- vania, who was manager and sec- ond-sacker on the Republican nine in -the Congressional league last year, began drafting a bill which, he said, he planned to introduce early in the week through which Congress would set up a Federal baseball commission of ten mem- bers, whose duty would be to see that the game produced no need for a public washing of dirty linen. Sénator Capper (Republican), of Kansas, who has been collaborating with Representative Kelly in the ten- tative draft of the measure, said the | Risberg affidavit charging the sale of games in the Detroit-Chicago series of September, 1917, “serves only to em- phasize the need for some legislation which would bring such matters with- in the scope of Federal prosecution in the future.” The Kelly-Capper bill would also penalize gambling on a baseball game, a misdemeanor in’the case of specta- tors and a felony in any case involving players, managers, coaches or others who might be in a position to influ- ence or profit from forced scores. “The demand for legislation comes from the baseball fans and from those financially interested in the game,” Senator Capper __ said. “Throughout the middle West, pe- titions are being circulated among followers of the game urging that such steps be taken as will restore the fullest confidence of the public in this great game. “One of the petitions has already come to my office, and I have been told that members of thé House have also received them. The one which came to my office carried at the top an undated letter signed in the name of B. B. Johnson, president of the American leagué> suggesting such a commission as is contemplated in the measure Representative Kelly has dis- cussed with me.” : , The commission, under the present embryonic plan, would be established board, on which the. players, public and management would have . equal representation under a chairman te be elected from the public group. PROGRAM Listed Friday; 10 Other Contests. of the public high champion- ship series on Friday as the main attraction, Washington schoolboy quintets will swing back into action this week following the Christmas lay- off. Eight games will be played on local floors and four are scheduled away. The curtain-raiser of the champion- ship series at the Arcadia will bring to- gether Central and Western in one game and Business and Tech in the other. Both Central and Western are considered as leading contenders for the title at this time. Business will open the week's pro- gram today, playing St. Johns on the former’s court. Tomorrow Central's regular and reserve teams will go to Baltimore for games with the Calvert Hall tossers, while Tech and Emerson clash in the Boys club gymnasium. Three more contests will be on Wednesday’s card. Eastern and Western will be hosts to Gonzaga and Strayer’s, respectively, -and Business will travel to Alexandria to engage the St. Mary’s Celtics. On Thursday Eastern will entertain Emers6n. Besides the two series contests on Friday, Eastern and Strayer’s will mix in the City club gymnasium.

Rene La Coste Lands French Tennis Title Paris, Jan. 2 (By A. P.).—Rene La Coste, tennis ace, won: the covered court championship of France today by de- feating Pierre Landry, a rising tennis star, 8-6, 6-2, 8-6. The “Comet,” as Landry has been dubbed by the French tennis world— has brushed aside stars of such magni- tude as Borotra and Brugnon on his way to the top, He ran up against a stone wall in La Coste, however, but gave the holder of the American cham- ' pionship a battle throughout. Landry won glory in the defeat, and gladdened the hearts of French tennis fans, who feel that, should any accident overtake one of the big French “‘trinity,”’ Borotra, Cochet and La Coste, French tennis will be well taken care. | ' Undismayed by the reputation of his adversary, Landry attacked all through the first set, while the stolid La Coste stood on the base line, awaiting his opponent’s errors. Like a relentless machine he promenaed Landry’ Across the courts until. he saw an opportunity. to kill a point. ; | The fifth game of the third set went to deuce 17 times. Landry's best stroke was a back-hand cross-court drive, with which he fooled La Coste several times. La Coste. introduced a new service which puzzled the sp tators who have not seen him play since his return from the United States. BASKETBALL STATISTICS | W. L.

This was especially true of the time his effort was blocked. On another occasion when Stan- ford was kicking off, Hoffman boot- ed the oval out of bounds on two successive occasions. This gave the ball to Alabama on its 40-yard line. Not such good football for a team which is lauded out here as being the best in the country. Alabama, too. was guilty of techni- cal blunders at one time. Winslett’s forward pass play was out in the open with no Stanford men around him. It was a clear field, still he threw the ball, and it fell into the waiting arms of a Cardinal player. As the two teams played, a number of last year’s elevens would. have beaten either decisively.« Ohio State, Northwestern or Michi- gan would have been too strong, while the Navy, Lafayette or Brown in the East would have proven superior.

It is known as “stuff” among ball players. A pitcher either has “stuff” on the ball or he hasn't. I believe, and I think the majority of batters, pitchers and catchers will agree with me, that a ball really breaks from an inch to several inches upward at the plate, when thrown with plenty of “stuff” by a true overhand pitcher like Matty, Ruelbach, Marquard, Mar- maux or Luque. The other day, however, Gro over Hartley, former New York Giant back- stop for many years and now catching for Indianapolis, told me that in all his: eighteen years behind the Dat. in sexi the majors and minors he had never seen a fast ball break upwards. And he caught Matty and Marquard when they were good. Hartley claimed it was all an illusion on the part of the batter. If any reader can give me a scien- tific explanation proving that a ball rises or jumps at the plate when de- livered with great speed by a real over- hand pitcher, publicity.

None of the players I knew was approached te make up a pool for the Detroit pitehers to throw games and I say that Risberg lies when he makes that charge. “What Risberg is really referring to in his charge is the time that the Tigers defcated the Red §o0x three games in the series, played at Boston September i9 and 20. This strengthened Chi- ;;cago’s hold an first place and the White Sox players later made up a pool for the Detroit pitchers. Everybody *S!and his brother knew about that.” ” Vitt Admits Presents. San Francisco, Jan. 2.—The purport- ed statement of Buck Weaver, one of Chicago's 1919 erop of Black Sox, to the effect that Chicago American league players raised a pool ef $},100 to compensate Detroit players for al- leged shady work, drew a Jaugh tonight from Oscar Vitt, manager of the Holly- wood club, who was a member of the Detroit club in that year. Weaver charges that Vitt received a handbag as his share of the pool, and this alse sicaused Oscar to ehuckle about it to- BY GANDIL IN CHARGE (CONTINTED FROM PAGE 1.) down to the Sex in those four games but Rewland declared that “if Risberg says I had anything te do with fram- ing games, ho lies." Risberg last night told Landis that Rowland gave permission to himself and Chick Gandil, Sox first sacker, to ge to Philadelphia and turn the pot over to Bill James, then g Tiger piteher, BDenie Bush, a Detroit infielder in 1917, and newly appointed manager for the Pittsburgh Firates, wag equally vehement in hig denial ef knowledge of the $1,100 donation, which Risberg said Bush was aware of. Schalk'’s admission of participation in the poo] was followed with a denial that the money waa for the purchase of a four-game series from the Tigers. The gift was a reward for the defeats handed Boston,. the Sox rival, by the Detroit club, aceording to Schalk. Commissioner Landis mentioned this version to Risberg when he was testify- ing last night, but Risberg said he had- never heard of the Boston angle. His eharges were tacitly supperted hy George (Buck) Weaver, Bex third baseman in 1917 and digmissed with Risberg in 1919, who, hewever, declined to make a statement of his own. Risberg came to support of Tris Speaker and Ty Cebb in ecannection with the scandal of ten daya age which broke about the two veterans, alleged te have had knowledge of “threwing”’ games between Detroit and Cleveland in-1918. “There never were two better or straighter baseball players than Ty Cobb or Tris Speaker, either,” he de- clared, asserting belief that Cobb re- ceived none of the money mentioned in the latest scandal. Returning te his farm near Rochester, Minn., from whieh he came to appear before Landis, Risberg declared himself ready and willing te face any of the men involved by his charges. “Every word I told Judge Landis is the truth and I'll face any one of the J. O'Connor Rockville and Marlboro and Monroe and the German-American Reserves will be credited to the teams present at game time, namely Monroe and Marlboro. This practically clinches the title for the Marlboro Jads in section 2, as thelr only remaining games are with Rosedale and Clan MacLennan, neither of which figure to have a ehance with the Marylanders.

In the final between the Arcadians and the West- ern Electric Co. girls, the Arcadians were offered little resistance and wor easily by a 28-to-7 score. The Rosea, led by Scruggs and Mc- Gann, soon had the Flower team out in front, never to be overtaken, and at the end of each quarter they were holding @ comfortable lead. However, in the final quarter the Park View toss- ers started a barrage that netted them four baskets in rapid order, but then Shields and Theis came through with — for the Roses to widen the mar- gin. | Shields, Scruggs. and Theis were the leading shooters for the win- ners with the former leading the trio with three field goals.

I think it’s only fair that the ‘white lilies’ get the same treat- ment.” Commissioner Landis instructed Ris- berg to return here Wednesday when it is expected that he will be confronted by men he named and that the scandal | pot he has set bubbling may boil over. Orgy of Base Running. Detroit, Jan. 2 (By A. P.).—An orgy of baserunning, such as rarely has been reported in major league baseball, took place in the two consecutive double- headers played in September, 1917, and which it now is charged were “slough- ed" by Detroit to assure Chicago a pennant. Twenty-one bases were stolen by the White Sox in the four games. Eddie Collins, a fast baserunner alwavs, was particularly busy. In onc ~ ec stole three bases. . Ray Schalk. now manager of the White Sox, and notoriously slow on the bases, is also credited with one sack. It is pointed out that wild base-run- ning is often due to the deliberateness of the opposing pitcher, and some see eignificance in this in view of Swede Risberg’s charges that the Detroit pitchers were the principal beneficiaries of the fund collected among Chicago players as payment to Detroit for al- ed “sloughing.” 5 “se ‘ ' ' i Low f } ’ ; The basketers’ Christmas holiday | tionally fast game resulted. | Was cut a little short by the scheduling |of two games itn Washington for De- | cember 17 and 18, but every man on the squad was able to reach home by Christmas eve.

The ability to drop ‘em in from the free line proved a deciding fac- tor in the success of the Wonders. Eleven foul goals were registered by the winners. “Bally” Hanback, former Stanton star, participated in the line-up of the Wonders and was largely inatrumental in the success of the youngsters.

Leese, president of the Washington Chamber of Commerce; Ross P. Andrews, president of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers association, and James G. Yaden, president of the Federation of Citizens Associations. A short business meeting will pre- cede the addresses, 8. H. McCrory, prea!l- dent of the association, said yesterday. The purpose, he explained, is to en- able citizens of the community within the jurisdiction of the association to become acquainted with the heads of the District government and to stimu- late development of cooperation and understanding between citizens and Washington's business leaders.

An authority on taxation and fiscal relations will address the Dupont Circle Citizens association, meeting at 4:45 o’clock in Rauscher's, according to Rear Admiral Joseph Strauss, chairman of the association's committee on taxa- tion. It will be shown, says the announce- ment of the meeting, that Washington js paying an excessive rate of taxation A resolution, expressing the associa- | tion's sentiment on the matter will be) if considered by the members, and adopted it will be forwarded to a sub- committee of Congress Capt. HM. C. Whitehurst, assistant en- gineer commissioner, will speak before the Manor Park Citizens association at the Whittier school, Fifth and Sheri- dan streets northwest. Capt. Whitehurst’s talk will be on the assessment and permit plans as applied to the cost of new atreeta. The association will institute plans for ob- | taining adequate storm water sewer facilities and improved streeta. Circuit Court Opens At Rockville Today. The November term of the circult court at Rockville will reconvene this morning after the holiday recess. The term began November 8, but many cases, both civil and criminal, are yet to be tried. Among the most important Arrests on Suspicion to Bring | Solution of Recent Holdups, Police Assert. A ee RAIDS COME AS RESULT OF EDICT BY MAJ. HESSE ee Man Reports Being Robbed Near Anacostia Bridge While Drive Was Going On. ‘ A general round-up of suspicious characters was staged in the early morning hours yesterday by central office detectives, and netted 21 prison- ers, all colored men. With the arrests, police believe, the solution of four re- cent holdups and robberies is at hand. Detectives Ira E. Keck, Bernard W. Thompson, Ben Kuehling, Harry K. Wilson, Carlton Talley and Charles J. P. Weber staged the round-up. They were assisted by details of police from the Eighth and Second precincts. The raids were made due to the re- cent edict of Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, chief of police, to put a stop to the alarming number. of holdups staged recently. Two score of such crimes have been ataged in the last month and few ar- rests have marked the investigations While the round-up was at its height, ‘two colored men and a white man staged a holdup. Benjamin James, 2144 |L street northwest, said he was driving ihis automobile near the Anacostia i bridge when he was confronted by the trio, all armed with pistols Take Tire and Cash. They robbed him, he said, of more than $22 in cash and took an automo- | bile tire from the rear of the vehicle, which he valued at $19.75. The detectives raided suspected gambling houses and “bootleg” estab- lishments in the Northwest section From each place suspects were taken The raiders experienced little difficul- ty In but one establishment, located on upper Seventh street northwest. There Jake Wolfe, driver of the headquarter: automobile, trapped threg negroes when they attempted to escape through ‘a skylight The men were questioned at head quarters several hours They were photographed and fingerprinted by Freda Sandberg, chief of the bureau of ident'- fication, and their records filed for fu ture reference. The detectives left p ice headquarters shortly after 10 p. n and did not complete the roundup un til after 7 a.m Detective Dennis J.

TRANSFER TO BE MADE LATTER PART OF 1929 Homer Building Planned to Become One of Foremost U.S. Establishments. A new chapter in the history of Penn- sylvania avenue—the avenue of pagean- try and pomp, of old hotels peopled still with the ghosts of famous men and women, of famous bars and eating houses—was written yesterday with the formal announcement by 8. Kann Sons & Co., the second department store founded in Washington, that it will move from its present location at Eighth street anu Market space to Thirteenth and F streets northwest. The store will occupy the Homer dbullding, running from F to G streets on the east side of Thirteenth. The bullding will be enlarged, additional floors added to it, and the department store will be moved into it the latter part of 1929, Sigmund Kann, president of the store company, announced. Remodeling of the property will be begun early in 1929 as soon as the last lease now in effect expires. The prop- erty has been owned by the department store for several years, and the Homer bullding was constructed with a view to moving the store into it. The founda- tions are ample to carry three or more additional stories, and the genera) lay- out is such as to permit its transforma- tion for the department store without much trouble. In addition to the Homer building, the new store will take in the adjoin- ing property at 1219 F street now oc- cupied by the Queen Quality shoe shop and a smaller piece adjoining the Homer building on G street. The new store, when complete, will provide 65 per’ cent more floor space than is available in its present quarters where it has been established for more than ‘3. years. The total cost of the new store property will be between 8$4.000.- 00 and $5,000,000, B. Bernie Burgunder, treasurer of the store, said Started Here in 1293. Plans for the ngw store are being drawn by Starrett & Van Vieck, of New York, in collaboration with Appleton P Ciark, jr. Washington architect. and orlginal designer of the Homer build- ng. CC. A. Wheeler, of Chicago, wil) lan the interior decorations It is planned to make the new store one of the most beautiful and up-to- agate mercantile establishments tn the ‘ountry.

DELEGATES ARE SIMPLY REPORTERS, HE ASSERTS No Need for Organization if - Envoys Are Restricted, Others Say. The announced intention of J. G. Yaden, president of the Federation of Ctizens Associations, to have federation committees hold public hearings o: civic subjects is likely to strike several snags. Already it has been challenged by A. B. Carty, president of the Colum- bia Heights association. Carty challenged the recent hearing of the federation’s law and legislation committee on the proposed bond fasue. The hearing, he contended, transgressed the socereignty of the neighborhood association. A showdown at this particular time was avoided when the committee, head- ed by former Representative C. I. Stengle, decided to make no report on the subject but rather to ask the federa- tion to call upon all the member bodies for an expression of opinion on the sub- ject of a bond issue. Carty, pointing out that his associs- tion was reluctant to come into th: federation, declares it finally did so on the distinct understanding the federa- tion would not treat with any matters in which the Columbia Heighta organ!- zation was concerned. The federation, as he sees it, is for the purpose of ex- pressing the composite view of the mem- ber bodies and that its only way to ob- tain this view is through delegates’ report of the attitude of their associa- tion. As Carty sees it the delegates them- selves have no freedom of action or thought. They simply are reporters to the federation to report what has taken place in their organization and to try and uphold this action within the fed- eration. Calls Hearing Futile. When the federation committees hold hearings they are acting without their scope, in his opinion, tn that {it is not for them to formlate opinions an make reports on any subjects except as they come from the member bodies through their delegates. In the case of the bond issue, Carty pointe out, it was for each neighbor- hood organization to determine its atti- tude toward it and for its delegates to act accordingly at the federation meet- ing. But instead, a federation it- tee called a public hearing and was moving to report to the federation on the result of ite findings. Harry N. Stull, delegate from the Stanton Pitrk association, and a merm- ber of the committee, said the cormn- mittee hearing seemed rather futile to him, as regardless of the testimony de- veloped the committee, members were bound to act according to the mandatg of their respective associations. This would apply, tt is pointed oud to any federation committee hearing. ~: On the other hand, there are those who contend that if the freedom of th- delegates to the federation is restricted to the matter of simply reporting what their organization has done, there is no need for the federation to exist. In «> far as the composite view of the various organizations is concerned, it is point- ed out, a central secretary could be maintained without the necessity of 100 men gathering at the District bullding - periodically.

The Mellon-Brewer libel sult In which the plaintiff, Charies B. Brewer, former special assistant to the Attorney Gen eral, ie seeking to recover $500,000 dam- ages from Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, will be argued today (im the Court of Appeals. Frank J. Hogan ls counsel for Mellon while Richard L Merrick appears for Brewer teenth and L Streets. More than 1,000 persons attended the opening service of the Third Church of Christ; Scientist, in its new home, Thirteenth and L streets north- west, at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. The regular service of the church was conducted by Walter H. Webb, first reader, both in the morning and evening. The new edifice was formerly owned by the Universalists, and has been completely remodeled. The hurch was moved to its new location following the Wednesday evening serv- ‘ce, which was the last conducted in the Masonic auditorium, at Thirteenth street and New York avenue, where the church has conducted services for the ‘ast elght years. One of the features of the new church is the lighting system, by which the lights are diffused, and no Sulbs are visible. The church is the only bullding in the city to have this sys- tem. The remodelling, which was done at a cost of $65,000, and left nothing as it was except the walls, which themselves were repainted, is not yet completed. A central diffusing to the winds. From the standpoint of peace and tranquillity in Latin-American coun- tries, the danger arises from the possi- bilities of a weak rather than a strons American policy, diplomats admit. None wants serious trouble and anything re- sembling armed force is most repugnant to diplomatists as well as to officials of the administration. But the kind of armed conflict tha‘ certain senators profess to fear hourly is being made more likely, it Is ex- plained, by the very policy which these same senators, entirely inexperienced in the practical handling of delicate dip- lomatic problems, wish to see the Amer- ican State Department pursue. In other words, if America makes it clear that !t intends to support the policy which Secretary Kellogg announced in Mexico and initiated in Niaragua and if it ts definitely known that the United States means business when it says it will pro- tect its nationals, then the chances of serious trouble are admittedly reduced to a minimum But tf it is once assumed in Mexico or , light and platform furniture is to be!
