Signor Moccia, who has partly translated the gospel, declares the work constitutes the principal source from which were derived the four Evangels.

P.).—Ap- pointment of a national commis- sioner of dancing, “to purge that recreation from attendant evils,” was suggested today by the Rev. John Thompson, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church, in the Chicago temple. The Rev. Mr. Thompson declared himself unequivocally in favor of dancing, approving of such steps as the fox-trot, one-step, two-step and waltz, but voicing disapproval of the Charleston and the black bot- tom, stating that they were “too gymnastic.” “Dancing does not need en- couragement,” he said. “It is here to stay. But it does need elevating. If dancing is to be even more a factor in human amusement, the church owes a duty to society to see that immoral influences and surroundings are eliminated.” The commissioner? Mr. Thompson added, could be a clergyman or a layman, but above all, “he should be a man who understands youth.” > POLIGEMEN SUSPENDED AFTER BEING ARRESTED.

BISHOPS DENY HOSTILITY Mexico City, Jan. 16 (By A. P.).— The first action in the Mexican courts over the new petroleum law—applica- tion for an injunction—has been in- itiated at Tampico by four American oil companies seeking protection of cer- tain of their property rights. , This course adopted by the oil companies has the complete approval of the Mexi- can government, Attorney General Ortega said today. He added that Pres- ident Calles does not intend to place the change of tactics on the part of the State Department was inevitable. The continued agitation in Congress and the daily barrage of criticism from at home and abroad have clearly dem- onstrated that the position of the Cool- idge administration was untenable, these critics said last night. As a re- sult, the pendulum has already begun to swing away from the policy an- nounced by President Coolidge’s spe- cial message to the Congress and to approach the policy initiated by Sen- ator Borah, chairman of the foreign relations committee. So far, those who have repeatedly stated that President. Coolidge’s mes- sage would prove to be unsound and that Secretary Kellogg would ultimate- ly bow to the force of hostile criticism have admittedly been in the position of expressing a wish father to the thought. But now these predictions are aparently supported by incidents and actual deyelopments which appear highly. significant for those who have been waiting to see the first signs of jany obstacle in the path of the oil companies in having recourse to the courts.

There what strength remained, from fighting the frigid wa- ful that the next developments wiil go a long way toward adjusting mat- ters and: effecting a compromise satis- factory to all sides.

Third—President Coolidge has delay- and a number of persons received hos- pital treatment as a result of the severe cold. New York, Jan. 16 (By A.

While he is a little better this morning, he will not be allowed to leave his bed for some days and me ene will be allowed to see him.” tedly in line with the compromise ef- forts which were persistently made un- der the guidance of the United States before the Nicaraguan assembly elected Diaz acting president.

Another girl. 22 years old, was carried to the street by a fireman after she became unconscious. The fire destroyed a four-story apartment building.

(By the Associated Press.) Foremost among the subjects in Con- gress this week will be the question of seating Frank L. Smith, of Illinois, ap- pointed after his election last Novem- ber as the successor of the late Senator William B. McKinley. Besides disposing of this case, the Senate is expected to vote tomorrow or Wednesday on the treaty of Lausanne, rospect of its rejection, and later will dispose of the contested nomina- tion of Cyrus E. Woods, of Pennsyl- vania, to be a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The House will devote much of its attention to appropriation bills, in- cluding the annual War Department supply measure, on which a vote is likely late Wednesday. Democrats of the House will renew their efforts to obtain tax reduction legislation at this session. Tuesday the 30-day period since the Republicans of the ways end means committee voted to table all tax legislation, will ex- pire, and under the rules the Dem- ocrats then can petition for action. Should a majority of the House sign the petition, a motion could be made to discharge the committee from con- sidering the tax measures, and the sub- ject would be brought up immediately on the floor. Representative Garner, (Dem.), Texas, has announced that he jas the promise of several Republicans to sign the petition, but he is not certain whether this will make up the required majority. Oppose Coolidge Plan. The Democrats are opposed to Presi- ‘dent Coolidge’s proposal for a tax re- fund next year and want to put through a .measure providing for a $335,000,000 reduction, including repeal of automobile, amusement and other so-called nuisance taxes, and a reduc- tion from 13%, to 11 per cent in the corporation income tax. During the week the naval commit- tee of the House will take up the bill of Representative Britten (Republican), Illinois, for the elevation of guns on American battleships. Previous efforts to make such alterations in these ships have failed, the administration holding that it violated at least the spirit of the arms conference treaty. Frank L. Smith is expected to arrive here tomorrow or Wednesday to present his credentials. There will be an in- quiry by the elections committee of the Senate, which is likely to go into his acceptance of $150,000 from officials of public utilities corporations for hié senatorial primary campaign while he atill was chairman of the Illindis com- merce commission. Democrats of the Senate, under the leadership of Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, will seek to prevent smith from being sworn in before the coin- mittee inquiry and they are confident their move will be successful. Friends of Smith, however, will make the fight to have him seated first and the in- vestigation made afterward. rc Beds, Andirons, &c., re- Brasses lacquered equal to new Fine Silver Plating John A.

Unheralded from local pulpits, but ardently celebrated for old time’s sake by seventeen inebriate individuals whom police arrested for drunkenness, the seventh birthday anniversary of the enactment into law of the national prohibition amendment, passéd quietly yesterday, unnoticed by the greater part of Washington’s sobriety-loving populace. Christian cooperation, rather than prohibition, was emphasized in 60 Washington churches, representing fif- teen dénominations, which exchanged preachers in accordance with plans worked out in advance by officials of the Washington Federation of Churches. It was thought appropriate to empha- size cooperation as a general theme, as the day marked the first city-wide exchange of pulpits, Dr. W. L. Darby, secretary of the federation, said. The dearth of intoxicated persons, for the number arrested was below the average taken into custody, was at- tributed to the cold weather. But one arrest for sale and transportation of liquor was recorded. Filipino Club Elects A. Samson President A.

Hen Lays 351 Eggs In Year, at $25 Each Agassiz, B. C., Jan. 16 (By A. P.). Prof. E. A. Lloyd, of the University of British Columbia experimental farm here, has no interest in looking for the goose that laid the golden egg. He has developed a hen that is just as good. A Texan offered him $25 apiece for three eggs, practically the equivalent of their weight in gold. The hen laid 351 eggs last year, | setting a world record in a contest at Agassiz. Previously the title was held by an Australian pullet, which laid 347 eggs in 1924. WHELAN SCION WEDS, TIRING OF WAITING New York, Jan. 16.—It was to escape the pomp and ceremony of a church wedding that Albert J. Whelan, son of Charles A. Whelan, president of the Ida A. Quigley, daughter of State Bena- tor Richard J. Quigley, of Pennsylvania, eloped and were married Saturday. They took but two sympathetic friends into their confidence and had them- selves pronounced mah and wife by the Rev. David F. Kelly, of St. Ann’s Roman Catholic church, Newark, N. J., and told their parents only after the ceremony was over. They were tired of waiting until Mr. and Mrs. Whelan and Mr. and Mrs. Quigley thought they were grown up, their friends declared today. Albert met Ida in Paris when they were there with their respective families more than ten years ago. , “Just wait a year or two longer,” mother and father would say, as moth- ers and fathers often do. Albert is 26 and an assistant vice president of the United Retail Chemists Corporation. Ida is 23. The elder Whelans and the elder Quigleys have telegraphed congratulations from Fior- ida, where they are vacationing. Al- bert and Ida have goné to visit them ; will spend a month at Palm Beach.

She strongly advocated establishment of community centers in public schools and aided by Miss Margaret Wilson and Mrs. Cecil Norton Broy, established a center in the Grover Cleveland school where she was principal in 1915. When the Park View school was erected in 1916, Miss Fairley was ap- pointed principal. After the school was opened she established a community center in it with the assistance of Miss Wilson, who was a close friend, and Mrs. Broy. “After the war the attendance at the Park View schpol exceeded its seating capacity, so it was decided to install the platoon system to reli¢ve conges- tion. Miss Fairley was appointed ad- ministrative principal and because of her keen administrative ability the plan, which then was a novelty in this country, was successful. Miss Fairley came to this city in 1877 and was appointed to teach in a small two-room frame school' in Congress Heights, then known as “the school at the race cOurse néar the asylum.” Four years later she was assigned to a school in Brookland and later taught in a frame school on the Bladensburg road three years. She also taught at Franklin, Force and Phelps schools before being assign- ed to the Grover Cleveland school in 1911. Among hér pupils were many boys who now aré prominent and wealthy business men. Robert L. Haycock, assistant superin- tendént of schools, last night said: “Few principals have endeared them- selves to both pupils and parénts as Miss Fairley did in her 50 years ser- vice.” She was born in Hanover, IIl., June ‘14, 1856, the daughter of the Rev. Al- fred and Mrs. Elizabeth Fairley. Miss Fairley lived at 109 Ridge road south- east. BEATIE FUNERAL TODAY. Major, 65, Was Veteran of Spanish- American and World Wars. Funeral services for Maj.

CASUALTY WILL LAUNCH $050,000 DRIVE TODAY 200 Business Men Pledge Support in Campaign for New Hospital. al EMERGENCY NEED CITED Casualty hospital’s campaign for $250,000 for a new hospital will start today. Roy L. Newhauser, chairman of the campaign committee, announced last night that downtown headquarters for the campaign would be opened to- morrow. More than 200 business men have allied themselves with the campaign committee. It is expected that from among this number ten teams will be named to solicit funds for the new in- stitution from the business men of Washington. These will be in addi- tion to the 50 teams already appointed. Dr. Joseph D. Rogers president of Casualty hospital, announced last night that the entire city would be solicited for aid in an effort to answer one of Washington's greatest civic needs, that of a new emergency hospital. Dr. Rogers announced last night that the new hospital, with accommodations for 100 patients, which is to be located adjacent to the present institution at Eighth street and Massachusetts ave- nue northeast, would be a public in- stitution in every sense of the word. “The most selfish thing a citizen of Washington can do,” Mr. Newhauser declared, “is to contribute to this worthy cause.” The néw Casualty hos- pital, Mr. Newhauser said, will stand as & memorial to public spirited Washing- ton. Three With Gun Rob Delicatessen Owner Three young men last night entered the delicatessen of Hyman Goldstein, 1901.M street northwest, and robbed him of 870. According to the story told Lieut.

Goldstein’s wife also was in the store. They then took $40 from the cash register and fled to a waiting automo- bile. The three are believed by police to have been the same men who held up @ méat stofe at 2149 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, Saturday night. Pretty Club Dancer’s ~ Rich Fiance Gone Miami Beach, Fla., Jan. 16 (By A. P.).—Connie Almy, New York and Miami Beach night club entertainer, tonight had searched in vain for her finance, Stanley E. Comstock, wealthy real estate operator, who Friday an- nounced their engagement, and dis- appeared last night. Comstock, who last spring received attention as the fifth husband-to-be of Peggy Hopkins Joyce, was reported under care of physicians at a hotel yesterday, after suffering a nervous col- lapse. His disappearance was noted when hé failéd to meet an appointment with Miss Almy, the pretty 20-year-old dancer.

The- service continued an hour, the large crowd repeating after the Swami the words of the ritual in prolonged, resounding tones, giving just the turn, émphasis, and time which he gave. Neither did the volume decrease as the hour wore on. An occasional note of pure melody, as if proceeding from a singer, was audible amidst the multi- tude of voices. The slow incantation ended with sev- eral prolonged repetitions of “I am whole, for Thou afe in me,” the word “whole,” toward the last, prolonged for more than a minute. At the closé the Swami slowly left the platform, and the crowd filed out. The Swami previously had requested those who-.were cured to write to him. Later in an interview he explained that he sometimes receivd more than | 100 letters after the healing service. The healing ritual embraced the cast- ing away of ignorance, as well as cures for physical defects and affilctions. The Swami explained that the power of the healing was drawn by concen- tration, devotion and faith of affirma- tion from the Comic Spirit, or God, by himself, and transmitted to the audience on the vehicle of vibrating sound, which he declared caused a chemical change in the body cells, and & new ordinance of the cells of the brain, provided, of course, that the recipient of the vibrating waves con- céntrated propérly and was imbued with devotion. The Swami requested those who would be cured of eye de- fects to remove their glasses while re- peating the part of the ritual pertain- ing to the eyes. 3-Day Sales Congress Will Open Tomorrow A three-day sales congress will be held in Washington, beginning tomor- row, under auspices of the City club.

An- ton Stephan, president, said. Burruss’ lectures deal with vital business prob- lems and cover such fields as how money is made-and lost, personality, character analysis, sales engineering and psychology.

t : HEMOCRATS DIVIDE ON TWO-THIRDS RULE INNEXT CONVENTION Supporters of Al Smith Seek to Force Control by Majority Vote. COMPROMISE FAVORED BY SOUTHERN LEADERS | Temporary Suspension of Old) Policy for 1928 Offered to End Controversy. By NORMAN W. BAXTER. Suspension of the two-thirds rule, which has been the governing factor in Democratic national conventions since the part?’s creation, is being ad- vocated, for 1928 only, by party leaders as one solution of the problem which ‘s as important in the next convention as the selection of the candidate. There are ait the moment two ten- dencies within the party on this point, and, as is the case in virtually every- thing Democratic these days, Gov. Al- fred Smith of New York is the rock on which the currents divide. The supporters of Smith want the two-thirds rule abrogated, and with it they want to send the unit rule into the X Sieienriatettentibneidinnennnsdmmnentastantentenitiniastamtinlinomstns phenedienatiaiianetiietatamiienee MARRIED HALLOCK—M’INTOBH.—Dr. J.

Opponents of Smith and the Southern politicians, regard- less of their feelings toward the Tam- many leader, are opposed to any such to Smith, the latter are against sur- render of the veto power, which ts about all that the South can expect, even yet, to get of the party of which it forrhs the backbone. ' In between these two factions come the men who are seeking now to effect a compromise for 1928. They include Southern Democrats of standing who believe that a repetition of the Smith and anti-Smith feud can serve only to disrupt the party. Another premise | upon which they base their action is that it would be better to end the threat of Smith by giving him the | nomination, if he can get it by a ma- | jority vote, than to have the threat |hanging over the party for another term of years. ‘ They, therefore, have suggested that _for the party’s sake it may be better to suspend the two-thirds rule for 1928 and let the majority control the com- ing election. If this means Smith as a they are willing to accept _ candidate, him. e movement is early. Preliminary indicated that the | Smith supporters will not be satisfied with it. They seek to abrogate once and for all the rule that they think is the cnly thing that can block their fa- vorite son. There is as yet only scattered sup- port from the South for the suspen- sion method of avoiding another in- ternecine fight. Many leaders from be- low the Mason and Dixon line feel that as long as the prejudice still exists which prevents the South from naming the candidate that section of the coun- try can not surrender the veto power which it now exercises over a candidate from some other part of the country. Fear Renewal of Strife. Proponents of the suspension pro- gram feel, however, that .time may make some changes. If it develops, for instance, that the fight for and against Smith is going to, dominate the Demo- cratic convention again, they hope that moderate party leaders will join them in seeking a solution which will pre- vent what might be a disintegrating division of the Democratic party. Unless some such course is adopted it appears to be apparent even today that the Democrats will go into convention with nothing in prospect but a renewal of their bitter conflict that ran through numberless ballots in 1924. The national committee poll, which last fall resulted in the announcement that the majority of its members fav- ored abrogation of the two-thirds rule is a straw but not necessarily an ac curate one. The national committee can not change the rules of the Democratic national convention. The convention speaking through its delegates alone can do that and it is accepted generally that the rules can only be amended by a two-thirds vote. The general feeling among Demo- crats from the South is that when the time of the convention arrives and the Gelegates are faced not only with the two-thirds problem, but that of select- ing a candidate as well, abrogation sen- timent will lose some of its strength. There will in fact at that time bea strenuous fight, it is predicted, to see that the preliminary steps of the con- vention do not lead to abrogation against the will of one-third of the convention. Opponents of abrogation see only one way that the minority veto can be de- stroyed and that by the selection of a temporary or permanent chairman, who might rule that a majority vote could change the rule. If he should be sus- tained on an appeal by a majority vote, than, of course, the convention could by the same margin select its candi- cate. This prospect of warfare looming more and more certainly is considered by suspension advocates to be the greatest single factor in their favor. They say that when the party realizes that it can not avoid the struggle with all its consequences it may be willing to abandon precedence for once in order not to abandon hope of unity for all time.

HELD AS BANK ROBBER Tulsa, Okla., Jan. 16 (By A. P.).— John Mayo, 29 years old, convicted bank robber and key witness in the Osage murder trial, escaped from the county jail here today. Armed with four revolvers and a machine gun, he terrorized a downtown hotel in search of his wife’s alleged lover, and escaped. Every available deputy was searching for Mayo tonight with orders from Sheriff Bob Sanford to “shoot to kill.” Mayo was a Federal witness in the trial of W. K. Hale, “king of the Osages,” and John Ramsey, cowboy farmer, conVicted at Oklahoma City last fail of the killing of Henry Roan, Osage Indian, and sentenced to life imprisonment. Mayo was held to be the star government witness in the trial, tracing alleged dealings between Hale and Ramsey and members of the Al Spencer bank robber gang. Mayo’s escape had evidently been carefully planned. Shortly before 5 a. m., Joe Wilson, night jailer, and “Uncle Dave” Easterly, night turn- key, in the jailer’s office, were con- fronted by Mayo, who held a revolver in each hand. “Joe, I'm going out of here now,” Mayo said. “I’m leaving right away.” “Johnnie, you'll get your pardon pretty soon. You don’t have to get out this way,” Wilson replied. He re- ferred to the report that Mayo was to receive a parole next week signed by President Coolidge Both Wilson and Easterly were locked in the “bull pen” by Mayo. None of the other prisoners were awakened. Then emptying the jail till of $35, he went to the jail kitchen, obtained a heavy meat cleaver, and smashed the lock off the jail armory. Here he ob- tained two more pistols, and a machine gun. With perfect composure, he called a taxicab and concealing his weapons as well as possible under his clothing, drove to a nearby hotel, where his wife, Elaine, and their 11- year-old son were staying. “Where is he?” Mayo demanded as he burst into his wife’s room. He found only his wife and boy in the room. Refusing to heed his wife’s entreaties, he walked through a connecting bath- room into an adjoining room occupied by W. C. Holt, battery station employe, whom he forced from bed. “Have you got a gun?” he asked. Holt shook his head. “I’m going .to kill you, any way,” Mayo declared, and placed the machine gun at Holt’s head. /‘Tll give you a chance,” he said. “I’m going to give you three hours to get out of town. If I find you here after that, I’m going to kill you.” Leaving Holt, Mayo ran from the ho- tel and has not been seen since. Marx Agrees to Form New German Cabinet Berlin, Jan. 16 (By A. P.).—In the hope of being able to form at least a government coalition of the middle parties with the possible support of either of the two flanking parties, the socialists and nationalists, President | Von Hindenburg has commissioned Dr. Wilheim Marx, former chancellor and leader of the centrists, to negotiate with the respective parties along these lines. After withholding his acceptance for 24 hours, Dr. Marx finally agreed. His role at present is solely that of inter- party mediator, who is not yet holding a mandate to form a government, al- though the logical inference is that if his negotiations are successful, he will be intrusted with the making of the cabinet. Two, Sitting by Stoves, Are Fatally Burned Roanoke, Va., Jan. 16 (By A. P.).— Two deaths were caused by fire’ here today, each death occurring under similar circumstances. Each victim was sitting by a kitchen stove when her clothes were ignited. . Mrs. Catherine Ellis, 70, was burned to death at the home of her son, Lane Ellis. Her charred body was found be- side the kitchen stove by her daughter- in-law when she returned home. It is thought a magazine that she was read- ing caught fire, igniting her clothes. Katherine Virginia Young, 11, died at a local hospital this afternoon as the result of burns received at the home of her: parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Young. The child was sitting in a chair by the kitchen stove when her clothes caught fire. | DIN THE CHRISTMAS SAVINGS CLUB oF THE bgp ortega “Everybody's Doing It’’ |CHANGE IN POLICIES BY KELLOGG HINTED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) of Solarzano, it is pointed out. To dis- regard this solution now and accept the contention that Diaz may not have been legally elected might admittedly facilitate compromise. On the other hand, if it is claimed by the United States that Diaz was legally elected, the Nicaraguan constitution makes it man- datory for Diaz to serve out the Solor- zano term which expires in December, 1928, after which there could be an election under American supervision. The difficulty about admitting that Diaz was not legally elected—which ad- mission must be made if he is to step down before the end of the Solorzano term—lies in the fact that it makes President Coolidge’s message appear in a most unusual light. In his message President Coolidge said: “As President Solorzano nad -resigned and was then residing in California, and as the vice president, Dr. Sacasa, was in Guatemala, having been out of the country since November, 1925, the action of congress in designating Senor Diaz was perfectly legal and in accord- ance with the constitution. There- fore the United States government, on November 17,. extended recognition to Senor Diaz.” Later President Coolidge added: “It would be thoroughly inconsist- ent for this country not to support the government recognized by it while the revolutionists were receiving arms and munitions from abroad.” Choice Might Not Be Legal. Thus, if Secretary Kellogg should succeed in substituting another man for Diaz he would concededly be plac- ing in power in Nicaragua a man not entitled to fill the unexpired Solorzano term under the Nicaraguan constitu- tion, and he would be displacing the man whom the President, in his mes- sage, says was legally elected and en- titled to support. Under the circum- stances, diplomats say, it is difficult to see how the situation can be ag oe vered around and jockeyed with With- out putting President Coolidge and his Secretary of State in diametrically op- posite positions, unless the President should take the position that he was mistaken in his message to the Con- gress and had now discovered his mis- take. Senator Edge is expected to speak on the Nicaraguan and Mexican situations in the Senate today. There will prob- ably be further debate in both houses of Congress. Senator Borah will call a meeting of the Senate Foreign Re- lations committee on Wednesday to de- cide upon making public the testimony of Secretary Kellogg before that com- mittee last Wednesday. Borah Averse to Publication. Mr. Borah is understood to be dis- inclined to have the committee give approval to publication of the state- ment in the form submitted by Mr. Kellogg, but the conference between these two leaders yesterday may have paved the way for disposing of that matter. Messages expressing concern over Lat- in-American affairs are still reaching the White House and the State De- partment. The committee on coopera- tion in Latin America yesterday contri- buted one of the latest appeals. The Pan-American Federation of made public letters to disprove state- ments that the Mexican Federation of Labor is friendly to the Russian com- munists, and to prove that Mexican la- bor organizations do not indorse the activities of the All-American Anti- Imperialistic league. The most important news from Mex-: ico, according to diplomats here, was the recalling of 10,000 federal troops from Sonora province, Mexico, by Calles. This is taken to mean that the Calles government’s campaign against the Yaqui Indians has collapsed and that Calles needs his troops for danger points nearer home. ‘SHADY REST SANATORIOM Silver Spring, Md.

HOLOUP OF EXPLORER PROVES PRACTICAL JOKE Lecturer, Who Decried Lack of Adventure in Modern Youth, Gets Sharp Reply. ~ PLOT IS BARED BY LETTER London, Jan. 16 (By A. P.}.—The mysterious experience of Frederick A. Mitchell-Hedges, noted explorer and author, which kept the whole country have been a practical joke. Near Ripley, Surrey, early Friday morning, Mitchell-Hedges and a friend were held up by six men, taken to a secluded spot and trussed up. The ex- plorer’s sult case, said to contain valu- able documents, and some Indian dried heads, was carried off. The suit case and ‘its contents were returned to Mitchell-Hedges today intact, and he agreed to take no action against the jokers. 6 The so-called prank arose out of a lecture which the ‘explorer delivered recently before the National Liberal club. The denouement comes in a letter signed by a member of the club addressed to Mitchell-Hedges, who has agreed to keep the writer’s name secret. The writer says that Hedges has a “priceless black eye as a souvenir’ from the roadside encounter. The letter goes on to explain: “Five young liberals, besides myself, took sincere exception to your remark about the lack of nerve in the British youth of today, and we made up our minds that we would prove the opposite in a striking way. . “Well, we have done it. You did not suspect that the six ruffians who at- tacked you in the Cobham woods were six of those very weaklings you were reviling for their lack of enterprise and pluck.” The letter concludes by consenting to restore the bag and its contents on withdrawal of the accusations, and in- viting Mitchell-Hedges to come and ad- dress them again. The explorer said today: “I have accepted the letter as one gentleman to another, and realize that it was a practical joke.” With reference to the valuables in the suit case, he said: “The bag contained a document affect- ing prominent financial houses, which would have had serious results to the people concerned had it been dis- covered.” Admiral Wadhams Is Dead 1n France Elizabethtown, N. Y., Jan. 16 (By A. P.)—Rear Admiral Albion V. Wadhams, U. 8. N., retired, is dead in Nice, France, according to word received here today.

The meandering mayor, WILL ROGERS. YOUNG, ALONE, SWIMS CATALINA CHANNEL| (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) was but a mile and a half from the mainland’s shores. Meyer, evho stayed among the leaders through most of the race, swam be- tween 34 and 38 miles in the 16 hours 54 minutes he was in the water, his trainer said. He swam the entire dis- tance with a trudgeon crawl stroke, averaging from 36 to 44 strokes to the minute. Cold, rather than fatigue ap- peared as the greatest factor in blast- ing the remaining 99 starters. Before the first hour had passed from the ‘time of the starter’s gun sent the long line of swimmers into the placid cove of the isthmus, 15 greased but cramped and numbed entries had flying from their convoys the single red flagse— tokens of failure. More than half of the original starters had dropped out before sunset. Mrs. Charlotte Schoemmell, of New York, was forced by an injured right leg and illness to drop out after about seven and a half miles of swimming. The Long Island life guard, who was in the water six hours and ten minutes, said she could hardly use her right leg during the last mile. Another favorite among the women, Clarabelle Barrett, New Rochelle, N. Y., school teacher, found the cold Waters telling and dropped out at 1:13 a. m. today after swimming 13 miles. Shortly after the finish of the marathon, announcement was made by William Wrigley, jr., of the awarding of two special prizes, each of $2,500, to Mrs. Hauser and Miss Stager, be- cause of their pluck in being the last two women to drop out. Aids Widowed Mother. Chicago, Jan. 16 (By A. P.).—Up in Toronto a few months ago an ill and widowed mother, just out of a hospital, took her remaining savings—$135—and gave it to her 17-year-old son with the admonition, “don’t fail—whatever you start, finish.” Today, the son, George Young, the boy who won the Catalina channel derby, demonstrated that he had heeded his mother’s advice, and had not only finished, but had finished first, and won 825,000. Part of the money will go to take the widowed mother to California,. where she may regain her health. That is the plan of the boy who made the trip to California from his home on a wheezy old motorcycle be- cause he had not the funds for train fare. The story was told today by Mrs. Ruth Gray, a friend of the Youngs, at whose home he stopped here while on his way to the coast. Toronto, Ontario, Jan. 16 (By A. P.). “Oh, I hope George doesn’t catch pneu- monia!” was the first comment of Mrs. Jane Young when informed that her son had won the $25,000 Catalina swim. Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 16 (By A. P.). Gertrude Ederle, first woman con- queror of the English channel, tonight sent her congratulations to George Young, winner of the Catalina mara- thon swim. aA AAAI AO Ma TS § %PALAIS ROYAL G Street at Eleventh Kresge Dept.

BROKE PLEDGES, CHARGE (By the Associated Press.) Two letters‘indorsing the Porter reso- lution to request the President to act independently of other nations in deal- ings with China on customs and extra- territoriality questions were made pub- lic simultaneously yesterday. The author of the resolution, Chair- man Porter, of the House foreign af- fairs committee, gave out one from Bishop Charles H. Brent, of the Episco- pal diocese of western New York, who wrote that American action would show that “‘we, at any rate, stand for an in- dependent China on the same basis as our own government is independent.” The other letter was frdm Dr. John A. Latane, head of ‘the American his- tory department of Johns Hopkins uni- versity, Baltimore, to Representative Linthicum (Democrat), Maryland. It said “affairs in China are reaching a crisis,” but the Washington govern- ment does not.seem disposed to adopt a definite policy. ‘While regarding as desirable the pol- icy of cooperation adopted several years ago by the Washington conference on Chinese questions, Dr. Latane said that “unfortunately” the signatory powers have not carried out the pledges in good faith. Approval of the Porter resolution, he added, would give the administration opportunity to say that America is ready to act, but “unless you are ready we shall be compelled to adopt an in- dependent course.” All Convicts Saved In Penitentiary Fire Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 16 (By A. P.).—aAll of the 791 negr oconvicts who were routed from “A” hall cell building in the Missouri State penitentiary here] late Saturday when fire gutted the building, got out safely, prison officials announced today. When the fire subsided late last night Warden Leslie Rudolph said he was not sure that all of the cells had been opened before the heat became _ too great to remain in the building. The fire, which started from an overheated stove pipe, burned off the roof of the stone structure, which was the oldest cell building in the penitentiary. It was built in 1868. . Gitlow Is Ousted By Garment Union New York, Jan. 16 (By A. P.).—Ben- jamin Gitlow, who in 1924 was candl- date of the workers’ communist party for Vice President, last night was read out of the Men’s Garment Cutters Union No. 4. The charge against him was “conduct unbecoming a labor man.” His expulsion had been decided on at a meeting of the executive board of the union, and members tonight concurred in this action. Gitlow, speak, said that by driving commun- ists out of the union, the union would not be able to rid the labor movement of opposition. part LEA & PERRINS’ SAUCE Keep In Trim! Good Elimination Is Essential to Good Health. HE eternal grind of modern life imposes many strains upon our bodily mechanism. Our eliminative organs, particularly, are apt to be- come sluggish under the unnatural burdens thrown upon them and fall behind in keeping the system free from poisonous waste. Naturally, to have good health, one must have good elimination. The kidneys are the blood filters. If they fail to fully perform their functions, body poisons are left in the blood, and one is apt to feel languid, tired and achy. A dull, nagging backache is some- times a symptom, with drowsy headaches “and dizzy spells. That the kidneys are not functioning perfectly is often shown by burning or scanty passage of secretions. The value of a stimulant diuretic* to the kid- neys in these conditions is being recognized by more and more people. Doan’s Pills have been on the market for more than forty years and have earned a nation-wide reputation. ‘Users every- where endorse Doan’s.

STEEL CENTERS SHOW INCREASED DEMAND | Oil Price Stabilization Is Ex- pected to React on Statements. New York, Jan. 16 (By the Associated | Press)—The business situation contin- | ues to show irregularities, with no gen- eral revival yet taking place from the usual year-end slackening of activity. There are no signs of weakness, how- ever, although price cutting automobile industry has been source of some uneasiness. Credit conditions continue satisfactory, evidenced by the _ relatively cheap money rates and the huge importations | In banking quarters there is | of gold. a rather widespread belief that if any stimulus to business is needed within | the next month or 60 it will be pro- vided in the form of a lower reserve bank rediscount rate. Steel Demand Quickens. While the midweek steel trade from steel cent quickening of Gemand. The increase of more than 150,000 tons in unfilled orders of the United States Steel Cor- poration last month caused some sur- prise. Although orders on cember 31 were the smallest of any year-end total since the war, this was not regarded as fspecially significant in view of the rather general ‘‘hand-to- mouth” buying policy adopted by mdst consumers, and made possible by effi- cient transportation. The price ten- dency was still downward. .. For the first time in seven ‘years Bradstreets reports that building per- mits in 1926 failed to show an increase | A further con- | traction would: not be surprising this | year in view of the fact that the hous- | over the year before. ‘ng shortage, created as a result of the war, had been fairly well met in most metropolitan centers. Freight car load- ings showed a slight falling off in the last weekly report, but no special at- tention was pald to the decline. From a railroad standpoint, the most important development of the week was the announcement that the pro- posed gigantic Northwestern railroad merger would probably take definite shape here this week at a conference of officials of the three roads—Northern YOU SAVED YOUR MONEY!

Heavy accumulation of petroleum shares last week was be- ‘Heved to foreshadow important devel- opments along those lines. Price cutting in the automobile in- dustry refiects the increasing competi- tion which, it Is feared in some quar- ters, will lead to the elimination of some of the smaller companies before the end of the year. The “used car” problem is reported to be a serious one for retailers. Recent developments in the Mext- can-Nicaraguan situation, while care- fully studied by business men and bank- ers, apparently were without influences on the securities markets, which were featured by the sweeping advance in bond prices\to the highest level since 1913.

Fort Smallwood was named in honor _ of Maj. Gen. William Smallwood, of the Continental army, who served as gov- ernor Of Maryland in 1785. According to traditions, the water front of this site was used as one of the landings of the British expedition of 1812, which marched to Washington and burned ‘the White House.

The Province, which is chiefly agricultural in character, has a population estimated to be in excess of 375,000, . Its principal products are grapes, alfalfa, wheat, corn, It is the foremost grape and wine producing area in the Western Hemisphere, having in this industry an invested capital of over $158,000,000 (U.

A firet and exclusive charge upon 40 per cent of the land tax, as created by law 886. A first and exclusive charge upon 40 per cent of the wine and grape production taxes, as created by law 886. Giving effect to the above taxes and official data furnished by the Minister of Finance for the four years 1922, 1923, 1924 and 1925, the revenues upon which these bonds will be a first and exclusive charge are calculated Total Pledged Revenues $3,188,309 $3,248,771 $3,540,290 $3,275,839 from these pledged taxes, available exclusively for the payment of principal and over $3,300,000, as shown above, or more than 6.8 times the annual interest charges and over 5.6 times the combined annual interest and sinking fund requirements totalling $585,000. The grape and wine production of the Province has been remarkably steady. The pledged revenues from these sources alone (not including those to be received from the land tax), are calculated at an average in excess of $2,600,000 annually for the last 15 years. | The Province covénants that it will \t all times maintain and enforce the collection of the pledged taxes at such rates as to produce’ an amount in U.

Purpose of Issue: The proceeds of this issue will be applied to the retirement of existing indebtedness. These bonds, therefore, represent no increase in the present indebtedness of the Province.

President Diaz of Nicaragua has made a generous overture to the Sacasa revolutionists which, if accepted, would lead to peace in that country. shall. be given appropriate representation in his government and that hostilities be termi- nated, without recriminations or reprisals on either side. He proposes that the liberal party He hopes that a restoration of good feeling will result in orderly and free elections in 1928, at which time th@ people will choose his successor: under the constitution, . Dr, Sacasa and his party should accept this offer. Probably a majority of the liberals would be glad to accept it and thus put an end to their hopeless campaign, if they were not urged by their Mexican allies to continue the revolution. But whether Sacasa and. his adherents ac- cept the Diaz offer or not, the course of the United States is clear. It is defined by Presi- dent Coolidge in his message to Congress. He found that Diaz had been constitutionally elected president of Nicaragua, and accordingly he recognized the Diaz government. Attacks were made upon that government by Sacasa and Mexican accomplices. President Coolidge found that it would be inconsistent to with- hold support from a government he had recog- nized, and therefore he denied the shipment of arms to the Sacasa revolutionists and per- mitted the Diaz government to obtain arms One wonth...

The installation of the third commercial trans- continental line, which will be inaugurated to- day, will attract scarcely as much attention as will the report of a new earthquake shock in | the Imperial valley or a frost in Florida. THE PORK BILL OF 1926. “I consider the rivers and harbors Dill as it passed the House the worst, the most unjust, the most iniquitous piece of legislation ever jammed through the legislative body for a civilized people,”’ is the language used by Rep- resentative Chalmers of Ohio, when he told the House that he would not support the bill which carries authorizations for the expendi- ture of over $110,000,000. Mr. Chalmers de- clared further that ‘‘when all the projects of this conference report are completed the total expenditures will be more than $240,000.000.’” During the debate on the adoption of the conference report the item authorizing the dumping of $12,000,000 into the Missouri river was the principal bone of contention. Chairman Dempsey justified the inclusion of this particular item by the statement that “the resulting protection to riparian property would increase land values to the extent of $6,400,000 along the river between Kansas City and Yank- ton. In addition some 40,000 acres, valued at $1,200,000, would be reclaimed.” And then the chairman of the committee on rivers and harbors shot this convincing logic at the House:, ‘‘There is $8,000,000 in land reclama- tion alone, and all we are authorizing is the expenditure of $12,000,000.’’ That argument is in line with the explana- tion of the second-hand clothing dealer, who declared that he lost a dollar on every suit of clothes sold, but could remain in business because of the great number that he did sell. Referring to the alleged limitation placed upon the cost of the Missouri river project Mr. Mapes, of Michigan, pointed out: ‘The senate amendment authorizes an improvement of the Missouri river according to,.a certain re- port by the engineers, which the engineers estimate will cost approximately $50000,000 to make, and then puts on a limitation of $12,- 000,000."" This. means, of course, that addi- tional appropriations must be. made, probably much more than $50,000,000 in the aggregate, for river and harbor improvements usually cost more than the original esttmates, to say nothing of work destroyed by nature and which must be done over again. The Missouri river appropriation is fensible. pork bill. The people of the United States need no longer look for tax relief. The surplus is mortgaged to meet expenditures already authorized, many of them useless, extravagant, or political. This Congress, in passing the rivers and harbors bill, has been utterly dis- regardful of the general public interest. No pork bill ever passed in preceding Congresses has ever been so heavily loaded down with inde- But so are many other items in this Two big paper mills will mean much to Alaska, in the opinion of the Secretary, as the Territory needs new and permanent ‘industries. He algo calls attention to the fact that south- eastern Alaska has approximately '78,000,000,- 000 feet of hemlock and spruce, plenty of available water power and sheltered channéls which are open all the year around, affording adequate transportation facilities. This offer comes after thorough investiga- tion by various companies and individuals who have reached.the conclusion that the manu- facture of newsprint is entirely feasible in Alaska, and several of them have already filed applications with the Federal power commis- sion for permits to develop the power that will be required for grinding the wood into pulp. It ‘is announced that the power commission, of which Secretary Jardine is a member, will advertise these power applications while the timber is being advertised, so that both timber and power may be awarded to the bidders who offer the best terms: REAL RELIEF WORK. The Near East Relief announced not long ago that it was sending an experienced truck farmer to conduct a five-year demonstration of vegetable growing on the island of Syra., Greece. The farmer took with him, according to the announcement, a truck load of seed, a head full of sense, and a life full of experience, and his expenses are being paid for by funds which otherwise would have. been spent to send food to the Near East. New England farmers have pledged full bred poultry and cattle for the demonstration farm, which is expected to render a great service to the farmers of Greece. This is the way relief should: be adminis- tered. Money spent for food: is soon gone and there is little to show for the expense, The same amount of money employed in a demonstra- tion farm will assist persons in. distress to find work, and soon they can be producing food for themselves. In the meantime, the condi- tion of agriculture on the island of Syra should be generally improved, and finally the populace will find itself able to fill its own wants. In some cases relief concerns itself with the immediate necessities, and there is no course possible save to send food and clothing. Building for the future, however, the founding of self-sustaining communities is the important matter. This is what the demonstration farm will accomplish. ‘ HISTORIC FILMS. Doubtless the government will accede to the request that a number of fireproof vaults be set aside in the new archives building for storage of historical moving picture films. The nucleus of the collection already is in hand. The second inauguration of McKinley was recorded by the moving picture camera, and each subsequent inauguration has been set down on celluloid. The War Department owns a vast collection of authentic war pictures. There are available films of the burial of the Unknown Soldier, the signing of the armistice, NG (— \ ) !

This is more disgraceful than any expenditure made by a campaign committee or candidate, because Two Opinions—Take Your Choice.

In addi- tion to these official records there are many commercial films, woven around history, such as the ‘‘Covered Wagon” and the ‘“‘Big Parade,” here. He closed his message with the warning that the United States could not permit the de- struction of constitutional government in Nica- caciaaiaill ragua, which must be maintained if American - interests and American: citizens are not to be jeopardized. | The recognition of the Diaz government is an exercise of executive authority in which the Senate has no voice whatever. A resolution by the Senate, even if passed unanimously, de- manding the withdrawal of recognition of Diaz, would be merely advisory, and in the circum- stances would be an officious and impudent in- trusion. It would be as impudent as a mes- sage from the President demanding that the Senate should reconsider its action in investi- gating the Gould case. The President does not need either the ad- vice or the consent of the Senate in performing duties imposed upon him by the Constitution. The opinion of a senator that Sacasa is rightful president of Nicaragua and that Diaz should not have been recognized is a mere opinion, which he is entitled to hold, but which has no validity or force if the President's opinion is tg the contrary. The act of the President in recognizing the Diaz government is the act of the United States, binding not only upon the executive department but upon the legislative and judicial departments. Having recognized the Diaz government, it is impossible for the United States not to sup- port Diaz without sacrificing American inter- ests. Diaz will be supported. Therefore, the Sacasa revolution can not succeed. Further hostilities mean the useless. shedding of blood. Dr. Sacasa and his followers should accept the generous terms offered by the Diaz govern- ment, and should sever their alliance with the fexiean. conspirators who are merely victim- iding Sacasa and his fellow Nicaraguans. ‘ At 4 o’clock this afternoon the newest trans- continental telephone line will be opened for service from Washington to Seattle. This latest means of vocal communication has been made possible through the completion of the link between Chicago and Seattle. At various points along the line, which reaches an ele- ; vation of 6,359 feet on the top of the conti- nental divide in Montana, the new route con- nécts with branches into Idaho.

The rivers and harbors bill deserves the veto of President Coolidge. It is impossible to reconcile this bill with economy, tax relief, or a decent respect to the rights of taxpayers. Executive approval of the bill may be forth- coming on the ground that loss might occur if meritorious projects were held up for lack of funds; but nevertheless, the bill is an un- conscionable raid upon the Treasury. In 1883 President Arthur vetoed a rivers and harbors bill containing less ‘‘pork’’ than is carried in the bill now awaiting President Coolidge’s approval or veto. LICENSING NEWS STANDS. District officials have taken under advise- ment the matter of licenses for all local news stands, believing that such a step would place in the hands of the police an effective weapon ‘with which to curb the traffic in indecent liter- ature. Commissioner Dougherty is reported to see no reason why news dealers should not be licensed the same.as poolroom proprietors, and thinks that the step may be necessary. A few days ago it was announced that the police campaign against indecent periodicals, together with a court conviction of a distribu- tor of such matter, had placed the situation under satisfactory control. Now it appears that obscene literature is being sold under cover despite police vigilance. Surely, how- ever, this undercover traffic is not of a volume sufficient to warrant the imposition of a li- cense system, a step of serious importance and one which would involve the exercise of official censorship. If this surreptitious traffic is great enough to constitute a nuisance, the remedy lies in [ prosecuting the offenders. It should be re- membered that the distributors have indicated a willingness to cooperate with authorities, and have agreed to impose a voluntary censor- ship. The latter should be given a thorough trial before legislation of any sort is drawn up. PRINT PAPER FROM ALASKA. The Department of Agriculture is on the lookout for two or three individuals, firms or corporations, with a knowledge of~paper-mak- ing and each with a capital of at least $8,000,- 000. To such the department offers the oppor- tunity of a lifetime; enough timber to keep a couple of 500-ton mills busy turning out news- print for 50 years of 300 days each, and in addition will give the manufacturers five years in which to establish their plants. Secretary Jardine is advertising for bids for the purchase of pulpwood which is now: growing on government lands in Alaska. One of the tracts is in the northern part of the Tongass national forest, not far from Juneau, and the other lies in the southern part of the forest near Ketchikan. Each is warranted to contain at least 5,000,000,000 board feet of spruce and hemlock, the timber most suitable for the purpose of paper making. The upset price is ‘‘not less than 60 cents per 100 cubic... feet for the spruce and 30 cents per 100 for the hemlock.”’ The only catch in the offer is the proviso that “‘the bid prices are to remain in effect until April 1, 1942, when they will be rede- termined for the succeeding five-year period on the basis of the actual current value of the oe od Pd which undoubtedly: would be of great interest and value to succeeding generations if properly preserved. The work of the historian is becoming, in some respects, vastly more simple. Despite the greater complexity of modern social, com- mercial and international affairs, there is as time goes on less and less necessity for guess- ing or attempting to picture mentally how a certain event transpired. The ubiquitous cam- eraman misses few important occurrences. If they have been programmed in advance he is sure to be present; if they fall from the sky in the nature of disaster he contrives some- how to be on the scene. It would be of great benefit to posterity if some means might be devised to store away every news film which is made. Obviously, however, this would be impossible; so the next best thing is to make certain that pictured records of historic events of the first importance shall be preserved. A A LE AT I You can’t be a crook and a robber in base- ball unless you're an umpire. | TL TERRE I A. man with a past must wonder whether to write for confession magazines or go to the Senate. Everybody agrees there is surplus popula- tion; the difficulty is to reach agreement con- cerning the part that is surplus.

Sometimes the boys forget to acknowledge receipt of communica- tions. The registration receipt will serve the purpose.

Registered letters must be. accounted for; therefore register all letters sent to hospitals. The suggestion comes from one who has ‘‘been there” and knows. ; COFFEE CONSUMPTION. If in your mad haste to get your breakfast over some morning you have time for a little meditation, advises the Fort ayne News Sentinel, pause and consider the fact that nearly 1,600,000,000 pounds of coffee beans, or just about half the output of the whole world@’s..coffee groves, are annually shipped to the United States, making this country the largest importer of coffee on earth. Coffee is third in value among the raw materials brought to our shores, its superiors being raw silk and sugar. ; But Scandinavia is a larger per capita con- sumer of the delectable bean, probably due to | the fact that the long duration of cold weather in Norway and Sweden each year Keeps coffee drinking up to high mark almost the year around, whereas in America there is a ten- dency to shift to iced tea during the summer months, especially in view of the fact that iced coffee, while strongly favored by many, never has attained to very extensive popularity. in this country. Norse nations use 15 pounds of coffee per capita every year, as against 12 pounds per capita in the United States. Close behind this country in per capita con- sumption of coffee is Holland, whose owner- ship of the Island of Java probably has stimu- lated her fondness for the rich,’ brown bev- erage. Next comes France, with a per capita consumption of 10 pounds annually. But there the coffee bean is commonly combined with | chicory, so the total cup consumption of. the composite beverage is probably greater than our own consumption of pure coffee as made ready for table use. | \ Add Definitions. | New York Telegram: An undesirable alien is one who says of Americans what Americans say of it.

ORIGIN OF STEEL GUITAR. The origin of steel guitar playing, Hawali’s foremost contribution to in- strumental music, is described in de- tail in manuscripts recently published by the Bishop museum, which has is- sued a survey of Hawaiian music by the Hawaiian folklore commission, says the New York Herald Tribune. According to the manuscripts, the playing of the steel guitar, which has made Hawaiian music famous through- out the world, was originated by a Hawaiian lad in 1893, who found that by placing an article on the fingerboard of the guitar while playing a novel sound could be produced. -The boy, Joseph Kekuku, then a student at Kamehameha school, first got the idea when he placed a pocket comb on the fingerboard and brought a new twang from the instrument. This was folé lowed by experiments with the blade of | a pocket knife and resulted in the use of a piece of thick steel for the purpose.

To the Editor of The Post—Sir: Preei- dent Coolidge, in his attitude as t% Nicaragua, is only following out the policy of our government as emptha- sized by all his predecessors. The ri,'bc of the United States to protect its citl- zens in their personal and property rights was strongly stated by Washing- ton in his neutrality proclamation, and he asserted that suck would be ite policy of this country. Under Adanis we had a quasi war with France over this same question. This was followed by a war with the Barbary powers, un- der Jefferson, and one with Great Brit- ain under Madison. The Monroe doo. trine is in fact an assertion of thts right and purpose: Under Tyler, Web- ster, Secretary of State, asserted the right of this government to recognize any de facto government. Under Pierce occurred the famous Koszta case. Koszta was a Hungarian. He emigrated to this country and (ce- clared his intention of becomng a cit!i- zen. Before ke secured his second pii- pers he went to Smyrna. He was there arrested and placed on an Austria’) warship. His release was demanded by Capt. Ingraham, of the American navy, reinforced by a threat to destroy the Austrian yessel if the release was re- fused. In his message to Congress, President Pierce used this strong language: “The principles and policy therein main- tained on the part of the United States will, whenever a proper occasion oc- curs, be applied and enforced.” This had reference to the act of Capt. In- graham. Grant forced Spain to pay an indem- nity for the execution of American ciaizens by Cuba. Under Hayes, Great Lritain paid $73,000 indemnity for American fishing vessels destroyed by Newfoundland. Harrison compelled Chile to pay indemnity for the killing of American sailors. He also declared to Great Britain that the United States was ready and would defend her “prop- erty and jurisdictional rights” in Bering sea, and thereupon Great Britain re- newed the modus vivendi negotiated by Cleveland. Olney, under Cleveland, asserted that a nation may avail itself of the right to interfere in the disputes of other nations whenever what is done, by any of the parties is a menace io its own integrity, tranquillity cr ..e'fare. Evcry- body remembers John Hay’s “Perdicaris alive, or Raisuli dead.” ; The attitude of Pres:dcnt Coolidge is not a new departure. HENRY ATKINSON,

Had the Palace five been a little more proficient in the “freezing” game or more careful about committing fouls, the affair would have ended in regulation time. In the first half, the guarding on the part of both teams was the most de- | termined seen here this season, the re- sult bein’ thet only one floor goal reps resented the efforts of each team, Borgeman coming through with one from a difficult angle after 9 minutes of play, while Glasco, on a triple criss- cross football pass from Kennedy and Ripley to him gave Palace its lone one just as the gun was fired for half-time. | At this stage, the affair had closely re- sembled a free toss tourney, “with both having been successful seven times, making the count 9-all. When the second half started, both, teams broke .locse by mutual consent and the play was fast and furious. Fort Wayne rallied and led for the firat 10 minutes, but the Palace boys finally knotted the count at 23-all and then, with but 2 minutes to go, was enjoy- ing a 3S-point lead. It was at this stage that Bennie Borgeman took it upon himself to do a lttle fancy work. Following a pretty 2-pointer from midcourt, he dropped in 3 charity shots in as many attempts. Meanwhile, Saune , ders and Chadwick each had-scored from the freedom line, making the score 30-36 as the regulation game ended. Hardiy had the necessary overtime period started when Saunders dropped one through the mesh from scrimmage, but a free toss and pretty side shot, both by Borgeman, and another 1- pointer by. Miller,: put the visitors 2 to the good. Kennedy after a long, pass following the ‘take-off caged a snowbird to tie the score again and then Smythe jumped into the lime- light. Smythe had confined his previous ef-- forts largely to guarding and passing but he made good on his first attempt from the 15-foot mark and then came through with a pretty 2-pointer, scor- ing on a follow-up of one that he missed. While holing this one he was fouled and given two free tosses, which he missed, but, as things turned out, his bit was enough for the day. One- pointers by Sheppard and Glasco were- the only other scores made during the remainder of the five-minute period. Homer Stonebreaker, one of the “Caseys’”’ stars, was missing, due to a recent injury, but the other luminary, Bennie Borgeman, was very much in evidence. He accounted for 17 of his team’s points and otherwise played a great game. Chadwick, the lanky center, also did yoeman service for the visitors, beating Saunders to the _ tap-off most .of..the time, while he re- minded the fans of Bob Grody by backing up to his goal and feeding the ball to his mates. . land, 32 to 30, made it eight in a row, | and they have yet to taste defeat.

"MARLBORO CLINCHES SOCCER CRO} Ma rylanders Get Forfeit Victory Walfords Outclass Ft. Myer Booters and Win, 4-1. German - Americans Down British Team, 1-0. By RICHARD S. TENNYSON. SIDE from proving the unquali- fled superiority of the champion Walford team, Washington Soccer league games of yesterday showed but little when the Walford kickers won a 4 to 1 decision from Fort Myer and German-Americans conquered the Brit- ish United, 1 to 0. Clan MacLennan forfeited to Marlboro, giving that eleven the undisputed title in Section 2. The finals between Walford and Marl- boro will start about February 6, and, according to advance information, the series will be one for blood in spite of the 4 to 1 odds Maryland supporters are offering on their favorites. Walford started with the opening 45 minutes of play to prove its su- perior play. Johnny Malloch scored two goals in this half and Hodge counted near the close of the half to bring his team’s total to three. The champs were at top form, with such players as Malloch, Watts and Burton exerting their best efforts. Although Malloch started the en- counter in an outside right position, he scored two goals in the first period. His successes were due entirely ‘to the ex- pert passing of the 1926 champions. Dick Hodge, 'sr., brought the Walford total to 3 in the first half by a well- directed shot in the final minute that Jones made a desperate effort to save byt failed. The second period was a series of passes and goal tries on the part of Walford, With but five minutes to play, Hoffman, of the soldier eleven, dribbled a shot past the reliable Carleton for the only Fort Myer goal. This was the only success of the victors in the final half, the result of a rally in the closing 20 minutes of play. Hoffman is credited with the goal, although Franco and Greenville figured conspicuously in its making. Walford had made several un- successful attacks on the Soldiers’ goal, which were saved expertly by Jones and Miller, who blocked in fine. style, Franco, Petrie and Greenville passed from center to the Walford goal area. Giddings and the entire Walford strength combated the Fort Myer at- tack, but the clever passing of Franco, aided by the success%il footwork of Hoffman, accounted for the only Fort goal. The German-American eleven had a real struggle t@" conquer: the British United team. sOontinulhg its superb playing of the past Several weeks, the British club held the Germans score- less in the first half. During this period Taylor proved his ability as a goalie on numerous occa- sions. Shots from the capable toes of Beyerlin, Denhoffer and Whitehead were blocked with equal dexterity until the final three minutes of play, when Beyerlin attempted a shot from 20 yards out which was blocked, and on the rebound Whitehead charged in and scored the lone tally of the game.

ELLIOTT FIVE BEATEN BY COLUMBIA Losers in Senior Game Held to 2 Goals; Score, 29-5. OLUMBIA tossers combined ac- curate shooting with a tightly woven defensive game to turn back the Elliotts, 29 to 5, in a senior league basketball contest last night in a@ preliminary to the Palace-Fort Wayne game at the Arcadia. While holding the losers to two field goals and a foul toss, the Columbias connected with the iron hoop 14 times from the field and once from the 15- foot stripe. McDonough led the attack with a quartet of field goals. As both teams are at the bottom of the league, the result had little bearing on the race for top honors, which is being waged between the Ar- rows, Calvary and Epiphany Roses, How- ever, Columbia jumped a notch in the standings, taking eighth place, while the Elliotts became more firmly settled in the cellar, their standing reading six defeats with no victories. The Columbia players divided the scoring last night about equally. Be- sides McDonough, others who counted points were Clapp, 6; Gordon, 6; Ritchie Johnson, 5, and Ellie, 4. Few chances at the foul line were offered either team as the game was cleanly played under the efficient handling of Dutch Mberts, former Catholic university star. Columbia.

Action in the public high champion- Ship series will be resumed tomorrow, with the usual Arcadia double-header on the program. Tech meets Western |in the opening game, with the sharers lof last year’s title—Eastern and Cen- Pama: in the other game. Stanton Five Halts St. Stephen’s, 34-18 | The Stantons displayed a neat brand of basketball yesterday in taking the |St. Stephen’s quintet into camp by a | 34-to- 18 margin. Beating the Saints ‘by such a large score is a feather in the Stantons’ cap, their yesterday's op- ponents having a victory to théir credit over the Company C team of the Hyattsville guards. Lefty Tripp played the major role in a 14-basket attack on the Saints. Tripp accounted for six field goals and a trio of fouls. Hanback and Gooch were other prominent Stantons.

Lucky Sambo, a streak of black lightning, struck Mr. La Motte's inti- mate little theater over on Ninth street yesterday afternoon, and from the way it got started, this show haa everything. Sambo, played by Billy Higgins, and Rufus, played by Joe Byrd, are two of the most comical coons of the genera- tion. These two are the lucky ones, for they get plenty of applause and rib- damaging laughs from the happy audi- ence, along with the “zillion” dollars they Just pick up out of an oll-well. Ernest R. Whitman is the lead, and his songs are well put across, especially in the Big Parade number. This song has been almost overdone in burlesque this season, but these performers put it over so well, and it is so well staged by Dan Dody that the audience was spell- bound.

In mapping out ita program the bud- get bureau has divided Federal em- ployes into several groups, the largest of which is classified as the clerical, administrative and fiscal service.
