THEFT TOPS SERIES OF STORE FORAYS $25,000 in Clothing ls Taken From Erlebacher Shop in Climax of Lootings. Flaunting defiance at the police de- partment’s efforts to check the crime wave which has been steadily growing for the past several months, a daylight robber forced his way into the apart- ment of Mrs. Guy W. 8S. Castle, 1909 Nineteenth street northwest, yesterday afternoon, and made off with jewelry valued at approximately $15,000. The report of the robbery was re- ceived at police headquarters while extra squads of detectives and police were being assigned to attempt to dis- cover the identity of the robbers who stole clothing valued at approximately $25,000 from Erlebacher’s, 1210-1212 F street northwest, early yesterday. Last night the police investigators said they had been unable to discover a clew to the identity of the robbers. The jewel robber gained entrance to Mrs. Castle’s apartment by “jimmying” the door with a thin piece of metal. A slight piece of wood was chipped from the door. The jewelry was the prop- erty of Mrs. Castle and her aister, Mrs. Mae B. Tennant and her niece, Miss Anne Tennant, of Oatland, Va. Mrs. Tennant and her daughter have been guests of Mrs. Castle for a week and were preparing to depart today. Loot Carefully Selected. Disregarding a quantity of old-fash- ioned jewelry and watches which would be hard to dispose of, the thief carefully selected fifteen pieces of ex- pensive jewelry and densrrtet. The loot consisted of a crescent containing nineteen diamonds, a necklace con- taining twenty diamonds, a pear! sun- burst w'‘h large diamond in the cen- ter, a bar pin set with five pearls and four .sapphires, a horseshoe pin con- tain‘'ng nine pearls and five diamonds, four diamond rings, a pearl ring set with rubies and diamonds, a solid gold bracelet, a gold pin, a heart-shaped oval set in diamonds, a diamond plate pin set with sixteen diamonds and a pair of crystal earrings set in onyx. Mrs. Tennant, her daughter and Mrs. Castle were shopping when the robbery occurred. They said that they left the apartment at 1 o’clock and returned at 3 o’clock when the robbery was dis- covered. Everything in the apartment had been ransacked, Mrs. Castle said, and clothing, suitcases and broken jewel boxes were scattered all over the floor. None of the jewelry was insured, she sald. Organized Gang Saspected. The robbery at Erlebacher's is be- Meved by police to be the work of an organized gang who are blamed for eleven clothing store robberies on F street and Connecticut avenue, in which clothing valued at more than $100,000 has been stolen. The thieves, police say, gained en- trance to the Erlebacher store early yesterday by forcing open a rear base- ment window. Only the most ex- pensive gowns were taken. Last Fri- dey Rizik’s clothing store, which is di- rectly across the street from Erlebach- er's, was looted of gowns whose value may exceed $30,000. The Fort Dressmaking Shop, 1143 Connecticut avenue, was also entered during the night, it was discovered yes- terday morning, but the thieves de- parted before taking anything of value. 4 DEBUTANTES QUIT W.

FOUGHT BY REPUBLICANS atte Ww (By the Associated Press.) President Coolidge’s income tax credit plan, pigeonholed in the House, was put up to the Senate yesterday by a Democrat, Reed, of Missouri, and promptly met with parliamentary ma- neuvers on the Republican side for its rejection without a record vote. The President’s proposal—a 10 per cent credit on taxes on 1926 incomes payable this year—was.offered by the Missourian as an amendment to the $184,000,000 deficiency appropriation bill and still was pending when a re- cess was taken until today. Senator Lenroot (Republican). of Wisconsin, in charge of the bill, raised the point that it was general legisla- tion on an apvropriation measure and thus out of order. Senator Reed then launched into an address during which he declared the country should know “thet there now stands in this Con- gress a solid wall of Republican oppo- sition to Democratic efforts for tax relief.” Before Senator Reed offered _his amendment the Democrats, aided by Senator Couzens (Republican), Michi- gan, won a fight to change existing methods in the Treasury of approving tax-refund claims.

McKellar first sought to have the} review by the court of tax appeals, but | two amendments for that purpose were rejected on points of order which were sustained by Vicé President Dawes tinat they embraced general legislation. During debate on these amendments Senator Couzens, who was chairman of the special. committee which investi- gated internal revenue bureau methods two years ago, renewed his attacks against that bureau. He declared that “fraud, dishonesty and crookedness” were complements of the existing “ex- parte system” of tax refundings. Declaring there was “favoritism” and “discrimination” in tax refunds, the Michigan senator said bureau employes are revenue ‘1 were taken out to dinner and given a “few drinks” by persons interested in gaining favorable reports on cnding refund cases.

Mrs. Frances (Peaches) Heenan Browning, the 16-year-old “heroine,” ended her side of the case this after- noon with the exception of testimony from one witness. That witness, be- lieved to be an alienist, will not go on, \it was announced in court, until all ‘the rest of the testimony is in. Monday will see the real beginning of Browning’s case, when his witnesses will take the stand in rebuttal of, Mrs. Browning’s charges of cruelty. Adjournment until Monday was granted on two points in the motion of John FE. Mack. Browning’s counsel said he desired until then to consider testimony thus far presented and he added he had subpenaed all his wit- nesses for that day, expecting that Mr. Epstein would take longer to present his young client’s case. During the day, a girl friend, Marian Tushey, formerly a restaurant cashier, testified in support of Mrs. Brownizxg, after testimony offered by Mrs. Carolyn Heenan, mo’ ier of Mrs. Browning, and a Mrs. Mayer, a friend house guest of Mrs. Heenan. The two middle aged women, ‘talking with a tendency to prolixity which brought admonitions from counsel on both sides, told of occasions when Mrs. Browning had suffered fright at her husband’s actions. | The young, auburn-haired ex-cashier, slightly older than the girl wife of the real estate man, was a surprise witness, testifying that last Saturday Mr. Brown- ing told her he would “make it interest- ing” for her if she could “recollect” and | testify to something adverse in the life of her friend, the then Frances Heenan, before the marriage.

She said she could not remember ‘any acts such as Mr. Browning sug- gested she try to “recollect,” and, after leaving the Browning office she called up Mrs. Browning and told her what had happened. Another witness—the only man called during the day—was a newspaper re- porter, Arthur Le Duc, of New York. “Are you a friend of mine, or of my wife'’s?”’ she said Browning had asked him when he responded to an invitation to call. “I am a friend of both of you,” he said he answered. “How many times kissed you?”’ man asked. “Not once,” he answered. “Would you testify to that?” he testi- fied he was asked. “No, I wouldn’t testify to anything,” he said he replied. On the stand he asserted that his acquaintance with Mrs. Browning had been formal and that he had inter- viewed her and had her picture taken. Mrs. Heenan Angry. Mrs. Heenan, who followed her daugh- ter’s hour on the stand—an hour dedi- cated to the prosaic identification of love letters written months ago to Mr. Browning—resented the tone in which questions were addressed to her by John E. Mack, chief counsel for Browning. “Look here,” she said suddently as the courtroom tittered at a comment by Mack, “I’m not going to play with you, Mr. Mack.” “You can't, Mrs. Heenan,’’ he coun- tered; “I’m a married man.” Mrs. Heenan snapped back at her in- terrogator. “This is no laughing matter to me, Mr. Mack,” she said.

WOULD GRANT TARIFF AUTONOMY JAN. 1, 1929 'Reiteration of Old Policy Held Unsatisfactory; Chinese Expected to Dissent. By ALBERT W. FON. America’s declaration of policy on the Chinese situation, which is in the form of @ prepared statement by Secretary of State Kellogg. was given out yes- terday for publication today. It has already been cabled to the American legation at Peking and its contents will be made known throughout China, where the situation is admittedly more critical than at any time in recent years. The features of the policy. as an- /nounced on the President’s behalf by | his Secretary of State, may be epito- | mized as follows: | First—America is willing to ne- gotiate with China, either inde- pendently or in cooperation with other powers, for the restoration of tariff autonomy to China andthe relinquishment of extraterritorial] rights. Second—-America is sympathetic toward the national awakening of China. Third—America expects the lives and properties of its nationals in China to be protected, and has sent werships to Chinese waters to af- ford that protection in casé the Chinese authorities are not able to extend it. Past ae Events Are Reviewed. There are matters of detail dealt _ with, and Mr. Kellogg devotes a major | part of his statement to a resume of | past events, by which he seeks to show that the United States has :all along been advocating the principles he now announces. It is Mr. Kellogg's assertion in this latter respect which provides an inkling of the effect which the decla- ration is expected to have in China and elsewhere. In other words, Amer- | ica’s policy remains just as it has been. {despite changed conditions and despite the desires manifested in the Senate and the House to have the United States assume leadership in dealing with a rapidly changing problem which has caused the British and other gov- ernments to enunciate new policies. The British statement of policy, published here on December 18, goes farther toward recognizing the great issues involved in China’s determina- tion to free herself from foreign con- trol, than Mr. Kellogg’s declaration, is pointed out. And the tone of the British communication is viewed as more fortunate than the tone of the American State Department. In short, the Kellogg statement is regarded more in the nature of a reassertion of past principles than a serious effort to grasp or deal with the new and deli- cate problem which foreign govern- as it ’ Woman More Than 60 Beats Off Man Thief Springfield, Ill., Jan. 26 (By A.

The present Kellogg assurance that America is ready to negotiate for the restoration of tariff autonomy is ad- mittedly a repetition of similar as- surances given in almost identical lan- guage many times before. The statement that America is will- ing to negotiate on the question of ex- traterritoriality under certain condi- tions is viewed as a repetition of the recommendations of the commission headed by Silas H. Strawn, which rec- ommendations wefe regarded in China as valueless under the circumstances, Even the statement that the United States is willing to enter into independ- jent negotiations with China on the | questions of tariff autonomy and extra- territoriality is not new, it is pointed out. However, the Kellogg statement may put the United States in a better posi- tion, it is said, than if the State Depart- ment had remained silent while the British have taken the lead in coping with the Chinese situation.

Maryland farmers, said to furnish from 85 to 90 per cent of the produce} to the mark t, want the midcity site, | their rep: ita s deglared. To them | the vital intel t is a place where they can bring thet r duce and sell it, and they cannot do tnis at “9uth- west site, according to their representa- tives. If the Center market was being removed at the same time, L. J. Her- rison, Maryland trucker, told the coIm-nittee, it would not matter where it and the Farn market were io- cat=-” because everybody would have to eo to it they unted to buy. But with ihe romoval to the Farmers’ mar- ket on!v involved, the Southwest loca- “eon would meal that the farmers Wweuld have no buyers there, he said.

Mr. Forsberg testified that his steam- boat line brought between 30,000 and 40,000 tons of freight into Washington last year, about half of it goods. It is the industry already es- tablished in the Southwest, the prod- uce brought to the city by water, the cold storage facilities, railroad facilities and the like that constituted the Southwest claim. Mr. Marshall declared the “whole proposition, as it affects the produc- tion, distribution and consumption of food,” must be considered, although he ‘did not minimize the Southwest site's adaptability from the consumers’ standpoint. In fact,’ Mr, Scalco de- clared, there is only five minutes’ dif- ference between the present site and that which he and his associates pro- pose. Mr. Marshall, by way the whole industry, said that the farm- er—-he took Mr. Harrison for example— brings his produce to the market and sells ft, and goes home and forgets about it. Little does he contemplate that the buyer, the wholesaler or re- tailer, has to place a lot of the goods in is of illustrating bee Poke ene Dewka Aas ee ek ec ee Herbert Tareyton CIGARETTES lhave S somethin eleroleheucatesee you li: lhke” a director | | the Facts” was 5d peo at 8 o’clock tonight, officers of cold storage, he said. And that’s the! reason, he contended, that the cost of living is so high. There is so much’ carting back dnd forth, from the mar- ket to the cold storage, and vice versa, it all increases overhead expense. There must be concentration of all the ele- ments making up the industry, he in- sisted. It was his contention that the bartering between the housewife and the farmer is a small part of the busi- ness at the farmers’ market. There are markets fo~ the housewife all over the city, he said. What it means for the Southwest business interests to get the site was revealed by R. L.

Mrs. Wiley Only Woman. Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley. wife of the prominent writer on health subjects, expressed surprise that she seemed tc be the only woman interested in a mat- ter so vital to the housewife. She favored the Southwest site, declaring it was easily accessible to her from the northwest section. The high cost of living soon will force housewives to quit playing bridge and go to the mar- ket, she declared. The car fare involved, she said, is saved in one small purchase. The midcity advocates, including Evan H. Tucker, president of the Northeast Citizens’ association, and W. I. Swanton, of the citizens’ advisory council, which has approved the mid- city site, based their argument largely on the fact that the midcity site, al- ready located in a residential center, would be readily accessible to residents of other sections of the city. Their theory was that the market primarily is @ place of barter for farmer and housewife. Senator Capper asked Mr. Scalco why, if it was so essential for the sea food merchants to be near the market, they could not move. Mr. Scalco replied that “if they get too far from the river the fish will smell.” There will be another o’clock this afternoon. CITIZENS WOULD BAR UTILITIES NOMINEES Rhode Island Body Appeals to Coolidge; Clayton and Spencer Favored. Urging the President to withdraw the names of the two remaining public utilities nominees, whom they repre- sented as inexperienced and unidenti- fied with civic welfare activities, the Rhode Island Avenue Citizens associa- tion, meeting last night in the Sher- wood Presbyterian church, recommend- ed the reconsideration of William McK. Clayton and advanced, in addition, the name of Charles A. Spencer, should the existing candidates fail of confirma- tion. Spencer, whose name was pro- posed for the first time, is a past pres- ident of the Takoma Park Citizens asso- ciation, and an executive in the valua- tion bureau of the Interstate Com- merce commission. The association further adopted a resolution asking that Congress pay the government’s praportionate pari of the expenses entailed in extending the District’s water supply system, and thereafter pay for water consumed by the government. It was pointed out that although the Federal government uses 40 per cent of the local water sup- ply, the cost is borne by the people of the District. The association unanimously elected M. C. Wilson president. Other officers chosen were Thomas S. Mallan, first vice president; J. T. Benfer, second vice president; Julian M. Belfield, secretary; C. C. Marsh, financial secretary; Lewis N. La France, assistant secretary; S. 8. Symons, treasurer; William 5S. Tor- bert and M. C. Wilson, delegates to the federation, and Mrs. E. A. Kalmback, delegate to the Public School -associa- tion.

Woman, Man in Knife Fight; Still Is Found Responding to a riot call at 1719 Second street northwest, yesterday, po- lice of the Second precinct found Heske Bryant, colored, 30 years old, and Thomas Fletcher, colored, 45, en- gaged in a knife duel, police say. In- vestigating further they found a still, police claim, but no liquor. While police were in the house, they say, Charles Robinson, colored, 17 years old, 2221 Second street north- west, entered the building carrying a sawed-off shotgun.® He was arrested and charged with carrying a concealed weapon. The police, who were led by Capt. Burlingame, Acting Lieut. N. O. Holmes, and Precinct Detectives L. M. Wilson. and N. G. Thayer, took the al- leged duelers to Freedmen’'s hospital, where approximately 65 stitches were taken in each. They later were charged with assault and Bryant with an addi- tional charge of possessing an unli- censed still. Voice of Washington By Radio Predicted “It is within the range of possibility that we may hear George Washington in his farewell address by means of the radio in the years to come,” Senator Royal 8S. Copeland, of New York, stated last night in remarking upon the pos- sibilities of the future. The occasion was the celebration of the ninetieth an- niversary of the admission to the Union of Michigan by the Michigan State society. “If it is possible that the rays of light that we saw yesterday were given off by the sun millions of years ago, it could be equally possible that the sound waves made by people travel in an orbit around the world and will some day picked up by radio,” he stated.

KELLY DECLARES Harmful as Drug and Should Be Discarded, He Tells W. Us Is Us GEN. ANDREWS MAKES APPEAL FOR SUPPORT Enforcement and Observance of Prohibition Amazing, Haynes Asserts. Liquor has no real substantial value as medicine and it should be discarded by physicians, Dr. Howard A. Kelly, prominent surgeon of Baltimore, de- clared before the Women’s Christian Temperance union in the Mayflower hotel last night. The system under which physicians are now prescribing whisky is doing the medical profession a lot of harm, Dr. Kelly said, adding “I believe the best doctors, with few exceptions, would be glad to be rid of the privilege of prescribing any liquor for patients at any time.” Speaking from the same platform the day before, Brig. Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in charge of prohibition, ap- pealed to the delegates to support him in Mis plans for a government-owned distillery for turning out medicinal liquor. Gen. Andrews declared that such liquor was “indispensable.” Never Prescribes Liquor. Johns Hopkins University hospital, said last night that “there is no particular disease for which alcohol is prescribed as a remedy of great value.” He added that he never prescribed it himself. While alcohol may be used in cases of influenza and pneumonia, or to save the lives of “old topers,” there is no case in which it is used as‘a “cura- tive remedy,” he said. He described it as a drug for which there is “no substantial use,” one which does great harm. and which should be discarded. Dr. Kelly provoked laughter when he described conditions in the seventies, when’ it was the fashion to prescribe liquor for almost everything. Quite often, he said, the patient’s tastes were taken into consideration und a physician would decide that he must have sherry or Burgundy. Many patients thus were given habits that they were never able to break, he said. Capper to Speak Today. Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, was to have spoken last night, but was unable to attend because of a committee meeting. He sent word. that he would appear this morning. Follow- ing this morning’s session, the delegates will be received by President Coolidge at the White House. America is a iand of liberty, but it is “liberty under law,” Senator Wesley’ L. Jones, of Washington, told the delegates last night. There is no such thing, he said, to do as one pleases in this republic. The will of the people, as expressed in a law of the land, he declared, limits the rights and liberties of every citizen. “Prohibition deprives no one of his rights or his proper liberty,’”’ Senator Jones said. “It does serve to protect and preserve the rights and liberties of sober, law-abiding citizens and help- less children. Liquor took away those rights and liberties and life itself.” Respited Violators Assailed. Senator Jones assailed men of in- fluence who violate the eighteenth amendment and thus “encourage an- archy and justify bolshevism..”’ Prohibition Commissioner R. A. Haynes, looking back over the seven years cf prohibition, declared that the “amazing thing about the prohibition is not that it is difficult to enforce, but that it has been so successfully en- forced and so generally observed as it has been.” “Even a generation,” he said, ‘is not too long to wait for final judgment concerning a great forward crusade for humanity.” Mrs. Mabel Walker Wildebrandt, As- sistant United States Attorney General, compared the Constitution to a great dike, the foundations of which are the supporting laws of the States. If the people were not so “ignorant” of the laws surrounding prohibition, she said, the arguments of the wets would not get so far. She expressed the opinion that the only additional legis- lation needed where prohibition is con- cerned is legislation which would put more teeth in the law. Sinister Forces Called Active. Representative Grant M. Hudson, of Michigan, declared that the “sinister forces’’ opposed to prohi- ‘| bition are more active today than at any time Since the adoption of the eighteenth amendment and that they have more money at their command than ever before. An aroused citizenry, he said, is needed to curtail crime and to bring about law enforcement. In the afternoon, the delegates made a pilgrimage to statuary hall inthe Capitol, where exercises were held be- fore the statue of Frances Willard, pioneer worker for prohibition. The Illinois congressional delegation was present, headed by Senator Deneen, who was governor of Illinois when the State offered the statue to Congress. Representative Henry L. Rainey read a portion of the address he delivered at the time the statue was accepted. Representative Richard Yates, who was governcr when the statue was au- thorized, also spoke. Mrs. Ella A. Boole, national president of the W. C. T. U., placed a wreath at the base of the statue. Miss Anna A. Gordon, of Evans- ton, MIIll., world’s president of the W. C. T. U., presided. | Cammenay owmeas <n 7Y ee If, like Lucifer Smith, you want to know how to con- duct money transactions abroad, read what the banker told him — in January NATIONS B S 35 cents a $7.50 fora tlthree copy at year term Merle Thorpe, Editor Published monthly at W: Chamber of Commerce of the U by the States ' Coolidge Once Failed To Get Utilities Post Those for whom numerous friends sought an appointment on the local public utilities commission, and who failed to receive a berth, are not by themselves. President Coolidge him- self was once a candidate for mem- ber of the public utilities commis- sion of Massachusetts, and was de-" nied the appointment. It was in 1915. President Coolidge then was a member of the State senate. There was a vacancy on the public utilities commission. Eight Democratic State senators appealed to Gov. Dayid I. Walsh in behalf of Republican State Senator Calvin Coolidge. But they appealed in vain. When the story was told by Mark Lansburgh in introducing Senator David I. Walsh last night at the banquet of the Middleatlantic Shoe Retallers association, Senator Walsh replied that he could not divulge all the reasons for his failure to ap- point, twelve years ago, the strug- gling lawyer, who now is President of the country. But he did admit that one reason was he preferred a Democrat. SENATE LACKS~TIME iG. N.

COGrez RATION IS URGED Miss Etta L. Taggart, prominent woman member of the local bar, was elected president of the Progressive Citizens association, of Georgetown, last night at a meeting of the organi- zation in the Curtis school. District Commissioners Proctor L. Dougherty and Lieut. Col. J. Franklin Bell, and James G. Yaden, president of the Fed- eration of Citizens associations, ad- dressed the organization, whose mem- bership is composed almost entirely of women. Mr. Bell, in announcing his opposi- tion to any proposed plan of estab- lishing an elevated and subway system of transportation in Washington, visu- alized the National Capital twenty years hence as a city of millions in popula- tion, compactly massed between Rock- ville, Md., Alexandria, Va., and distant boundaries miles out into the adja- cent territories of eastern and.western Maryland. Other officers elected were Mrs. Leon Arnold, first vice president; Ambrose Durkin, second vice president; D. F. Dumberth, third vice president; Mrs. J. Daniel Fry, secretary; Mrs. William Hurley, treasurer; Mrs. Wallace Street- er, parliamentarian, and Miss Cora Ossire an@ Miss Etta L. Taggart, dele- gates to the Federation of Citizens As- sociations. Mr. Dougherty and Mr. Yaden urged the members of Washington’s “most distinctive” citizens’ association to take an active part in local affairs. The speakers impressed on members of the organization the importance of or- ganized citizenship, declaring they could further many local civic needs by banding together for ‘concerted action.” The association unanimously adopted a resolution urging the retention of Col. Bell as engineer commissioner. The organization adopted a motion for ap- plication to membership in the Federa- tion of Citizens Associations. Preceding the meeting, Miss Marga- retta Campbell, Miss Anna Hardy and Ambrose Durkin sang, accompanied at the piano by Miss Alice Crammer.

INCREASED PROBLEMS ARE SHOWN IN DEFENSE President of Retailers at Closing Session. Senators are not Websters now, be- cause Webster would take a session to prepare a speech, whereas present sena- tors often must make two speeches a day, Senator David I. Walsh, of Mas- sachusetts, asserted last night at the banquet closing the convention of the Middle-Atlantic Shoe Retailers’ asso- ciation at the Willard hotel. He said: “The chief qualification for statesmanship is moral consciousness and a feeling of moral responsibility The country never has had a larger number of men ‘in the Senate who have this qualification than at the present.” He continued: “I dare say that 50 years from now history wiil speak of some members of the present Senate in terms as glowing as it now sveaks of some members of former generatiens. Names Borah and Reed. And as likely inheritors of such a distinction I do net hesitate to na=:s Senators Borah, of Idaho, and Reed, of Missouri.” The Senate of the present time hers grown infinitely more complex, and has an infinitely greater number of prob- lems demanding immediate attention, Mr. Walsh declared. His address was in the nature of a reply to what he called “propaganda against the Senate, having as its aim the undermining of the body in publlc confidence.” It is a trend of the time, he declared. There is a growing spirit of hostility to parlia- mentary government, he said. The Senate, he said, is “the only re- maining open forum in the _ world.” With all its faults, he said, the Senate should be permitted to remain “free.” Its present rules are protectors of State’s. rights, he declared. The House, he said, “has ruled itself out of exist- ence.” The iron-clad rules of the House, he asserted, “prevent the de- velopment of statesmanship.” Speaks ‘of Criticism. He spoke of the criticism of the Sen- ate for differing with the chief execu- tive. Some have said the President should have the power to make treaties, he said, and to this he replied: “You might be willing to permit it, but the founders of the country even went so far as to provide that a ma- jority of the Senate could not do it.” Mark Lansburgh was toastmaster at the dinner. The next convention will be held in Atlantic City. George M. Garman was reelected president of the ‘association, which changed its: name this week to the Middle-Atlantic Shoe Retailers association from the Pennsyl- vania Shoe Retailers association.

Charges were entered against four, three were held for investigation and the others were released after questioning at police headquarters, to appear as government witnesses. Two gallons of alleged liq- uor and alleged gambling paraphernalia were seized. Those charged were Mike Kaplan, 50] years old, 1114 O street northwest, with overtime parking, illegal possession of intoxicating liquors and with keeping a disorderly house; Vera Sawyer, 28. of Berwyn, Md., with the same offenses as Kaplan; William Walter Smith, 29, Chastletom, apartments, and Sidney Kaplan, 28, with permitting gambling. MAN SHOOTS SELF DEAD; TWO ATTEMPT SUICIDE Gun Fires Bullet Secong Time After Navy Yard Officer Ends Life. GAS IS TRIED BY ANOTHER Warrant Officer William Webb, 34 years old, U. S. N., ted suicide in the receiving station at the U. S. navy yard yesterday while physicians at Casualty hospital were working to save the lives of two men who had attempted suicide earlier in the day, according to poiic-. Webb, who lived at 1818 Monroe street ---~hwest and was detailed as supply officer at the navy yard, locked himself in a room at the station and fired &@ busics through his brain. The report of the shot was heard by Gun- ner E. & Gardner, who forced open the door and saw Webb’s lifeless body lying on the floor. Gardner told investigators that he ran from the rom: and that while he was telephoning for medical aid he heard a second shot =: the room. When he returned with Lieut. Comdr. H. R. Herresch, medical corps, they found a 38-caliber pistol clutched in Webb's right hand with two discharged cart- ridges in the magazine. A flattened bullet was found on the floor near the body. Commander Her- mesch said that he believed that the second shot was fired after Webb died. Muscular reaction after death probably caused Webb’s hand to clench the gun tighter and fire the shot. Webb is survived by his’mother, who lives at 1818 Monroe street. He enlisted in the navy in 1915 and was detailed at the navy yard in 1925. Coroner J. Ramsey Nevitt, after view- ing the body, certified the case as syi- cide. Webb had been morose and despond- ent because of ill health for several months, brother officers said. After penning a note stating that he had “struggled enough,” William J. Whaling, 30 years old, a bookkeeper, fired a bullet through his breast in his room at 1604 Montello avenue north- east. He is in a critical condition at Casualty hospital. The note, which was found beside his body by his stepmother, Mrs. Eliza- beth Whaling, said: “My worries and troubles will now cease. I think I have struggled enough. No one,loves me.” It was signed “Bill.” Arthur Melvin Fownes, 31 years old, 310 Seventh street northeast, attempt- 6&i to end his life yesterday morning, according to police, by opening all the gas jets in his room.

DEMOCRATS HOLDING OFF Berlin, Jan. 26 (By A. P.).—Chan- cellor Marx has succeeded in bringing the parties together for a coalition min- istry, although as yet the ministers have not been named. The centrists, ‘the people’s party, the: Bavarian peo- ple’s party and the nationalists have agreed to participate in the ministry, and there has also been an accord rel- ative to the government's policy.

Henry Epstein also objected to Mr. Mack's attitude. Her appeal to Justice Seeger brought a slow-word¢d ruling, tn which the judge said he had observed that some lawyers asked questions one way and some another, and that for himself and for the general good feeling in the court he preferred a good-natured tone ‘rather than an angry one and did not think he would make any. restrictions on the tone of voice of the counsel. Mrs. Heenan had been testifying as to an occasion when she said Mr. Browning entered the apartment where they all lived together and, holding up @ small vial of reddish-brown liquid, said: I got whisky and I’m all drunk. I’m going to shoot both Peaches and my- , self, too.” “Was he intoxicated?” said Mack. “He said he was,” was the answer. “Haven't you, as a nurse, secn many ;drunken men?” “Yes, many.” “Was Mr. Browning drunk?” “A little bit, I guess.” Mrs. Heenan quit the stand after a few more questions. One of her assertions was that an pings. | “My daughter just wanted them for ‘her scrapbook,” ‘she explained, “but it ended in her having to give them to Mr. Browning for his use in the New | York papers.” Mrs. Heenan testified that her daughter, born in Columbus, Ohio, was named Catherine Frances Heenan, and was her only child.

Did that cause you to | tell your attorney last night that the | book we have is a ‘phoney’ diary?” | “YT certainly did not,” she answered. | “The writings of this lady will show ‘that she was a woman of the world and knew what marriage meant,” de- clared Mack. " “YT was a good girl before my mar- riage,” Mrs. Browning burst out. Justice Seeger remarked it did not seem that the diary kept before the marriage had relation to the subsequent events, and temporarily ruled it out. Mrs. Mayer Called. After 55 minutes, Mrs. Browning was excused and Mrs. Catherine Mayer, for five years a friend of Mrs. Browning and her mother, took the stand. She testified that at Cold Springs, N. Y., she heard Mr. and Mrs. Browning quarrel frequently and once she heard Mrs. Browning scream behind locked doors. t “Mother, please take care. of me, Mrs. Browning declared that she had been advised to make a copy because | | | | Mr. Browning’s counsel was not an, Richard S, Untermeyer Had ' STUDENT, SON OF POET, ENDS HS LIFE AT YALE Been Chided by Mother | as to Bad Check.

P.)—Richard Starr Untermeyer, Yale sophomore, son of parents notable in the literary world—Louis Untermeyer, poet, lecturer, critic, and Jean Starr Untermeyer, author and poet of New York city—took his life today by hang- ing in his room in a college dormi- tory. To the college dean, Prof. Clarence W. Mendell, there seemed no explana- tion of the deed, but a possible reason was found in a letter in the room from mother to son, containing reproof that the latter should have exhausted his allowance once again and given a check when there was no funds to meet it. The check marked “no funds,” was in the letter. The mother had admonished her son that she could not understand after his profession of loyalty, why he again had entered into a financial condition which had just been straight- ened by a “housecleaning” of his af- fairs. ‘She had asked of him an ex- planation of the return of the check and had warned him that he would have to leave college and go to work if such explanation were not forth- coming.

The trial thus far has been marked by the appearance of Mrs. Browning, one girl friend, her mother, her mother’s friend, Mrs. Mayer, two neurologists and a newspaper reporter, all called by her counsel, headed by Henry Epstein. Browning has been held back from the stand, presumably to take it only on rebuttal. To sub- stantiate his charge that his wife abandoned ‘him on October 2, 1926, he called upon the information of his chauffeur and his secretary, and rested his case. His failure to take the stand is con- sidered an outgrowth of his having been refused a bill of particulars, and a desire on the part of his counsel to learn, in court, of what he is spe- cifically accused. In the last two days, as he sat frequently tugging nervously at his high stiff collar, he has learned. Some of the testimony of Mrs. Browning caused her such embarrass- ment yesterday that she broke down three times. Today her manner was easier and she was not called on to repeat any acts of alleged cruelty in her relationship with the real estate man. Just prior to the adjournment coun- sel for both sides stipulated in court that disclosure of the financial status of the wealthy plaintiff be held in abeyance, so far as testimony is con- cerned, until the close of the. case. Mrs. Browning’s chief counsel added a clause which will permit financial in- vestigation should the judge desire to grant alimony, evén #f he refuse the decree of separation. Judge Defends Publicity.

UNLY PROVISIONAL, MEXICO CONTENDS Issued Subject to Clauses of the New Oil Law, it !s Held Officially. — CONFISCATION OF RIGHTS DENIED BY DEPARTMENT ~ ee ee No Complaints Filed With the U. S. Embassy by Land Owners in America. ee a aa Mexico City, Jan. 26 (By A. P.).— Officially the Mexican government is silent on the controversy arising be- ‘ween this country and the United States over the new petroleum and land laws, but with cautious alertness mwaits the next move, without indicat- ing whether itt will initiate further steps looking to arbitration, developments at Washington. Representatives mere have made t) ttufement bales of the department ofa and commerce tnat the drill- canceled by the govern- originally issued with the knowledge on the part-of the oil com- panies that they would be canceled if the companies did not comply with the law. ‘The permits, the department declared, specified that condition. ~No complaints have beem made by fne oil interests to the United States embassy over the operation of the law. Tampico dispatches: report that about 5,000 workmen in the oil fields will be idie within a month owing to the reduction or suspension of operations.

It is a pact cf guarantees in Which both Cuba and the United States make mutual concessions. It is a pact that would be violated the moment \it should be used in detriment of Cul-an sovereignty, which each day is more precious and sacred to the Cuban people.” Considéring that public opinion, not imowing the antecedents of the case, might have been surprised by the state- ment that certain oil companies were looking upon the cancellation of their drilling permits as an act of confisca- charge, vory character, the department of-in- | dustry and commerce says it believes itselt! duty bound “to explain the truth.” Permits Called Provisional. The only interpretation open for the oil companies’ statement, the depart- ment explains, is that it was inspired by passion or malevolence. All drilling permits, as well as permits for the exploitation of oil wells up to December 21, it is added, were granted in ‘“‘abso- lutety precarious’ form and were of a provisional, revocable character, it be- ing specifically stated in\them that they would be subjected tO the new petroleum law once it was enforced. If the companies benefiting by ac- ceptance of such permits understood they were subject to the new law, then the department’s statement continues, the executive, through the department of industry, was justly entitied to re- voke permits in cases, where confirma- tory concessions were not. applied for, whether or not drilling work was stated. Thus, it is explained, if the permfts were absolutely conditional, no right could have been created for the bene- ficiaries, much less when the conditions stipulated were not complied with. Fowever, in spite of the fact that the legal situation of the case has been modified—the companies have been “consigned” by the attorney general to tribunals, and the matter at present ts Outside the sphere of the department of industry, the statement continues, “we have not impeded or obstructed the exploitation of wells or the work ‘of those being drilled.” 11 Missionaries Safe, But Lose Possessions Two cablecrams from the Fu-Chow province in China yesterday reported the safety of eleven Dominician mis- sionaries, but reported the loss of their mission houses and possessions to the advancing Cantonese nationalists. Th Very Rev. Raymond Meagher, O. P., di- rector of the Dominican order in this country, received the cablegrams. Included in the eleven are five young priests, who received their charge to the Fu-Chow province last November at ceremonies in St. Dominic’s church, Sixth and F streets southwest. They are the Revs. H. A. Burke, William 5S. Cas- sidy, R. E. Brennan, J. M. Barrett and F. A. Gordon. They were reported safe in Hong Kong. The other priests fled from Kienning-Fu on the Ming river. Father Meagher cabled the Rev. A. P. Curran, ©. P., head of the Dominican foreign missions, who is at the head of. the missionaries, to proceed to Manila and await further instructions.

It was with that in view that the United States made the declaration in relation to the relinquishment of ex- traterritoriality in the Treaty of 1903 and aisO entered into the Treaty of Washington of Pebruary 6, 1922, provid- ing for.a tariff conference to be held within three rmonths after tie coming into force of the treaty. e “The United States is now and has' been, ever sifice the negotiation of | the Washington treaty, prepared to | enter into negotiations with any gov- | ernment of China or delegates who can represent or speak for China not only for the puttin into force of the surtaxes of the Washington treaty, but entirely releasing tariff control and re- storing complete tariff autonomy to, China. “The United States would expect; however, that it be granted most-fa- vored-nation treatment and that there should be no discrimination against | the United States and its citizens in customs duties, or taxes, in favor of the citizens of other nations or dis- crimination by grants of special privi- leges and that the open door with equal opportunity for trade in China shall be matntained; and further, that China should afford every protection to American citizens, to their property and rights. | ——— Protection of Americans Required. “The United States is prepared to | put into force .the recommendations of | the extraterritoriality commission | which can be put into force without | a treaty at once and to negotiate the rel@ase of extraterritorial rights as soon as China is prepared to provide protec- tion by laws and through her courts | to American citizens, their rights and. property. ; . “The willingness of the United States | to deal with China in the most liberal spirit will be borne out by a brief his- tory of the events since making the Washington treaty.

About that time the government which repre- sented China at the conference was forced out of power. The delegates of the United States and the other pow- ers, however, remained in China in the hope of continuing the negotiations, and on July 3, 1926, made a declaration as follows: “*The delegates of the foreign powers to the Chinese customs tariff confer- ence met at the Netheriands legation this morning. They expressed the unan- imous and earnest desire to proceed with the work of the conference at the earliest possible moment when the dele- | gates of the Chinese government are in| a position to resume discussion with | the foreign delegates of the problems | before the conference.’ “The government of the United States | was ready then ard is ready now to| continue the negotiations on the entire | subject of the tariff and extraterri- | toriality or to take up negotiations on | | behalf of the United States alone. The ' only question is with whom it shall ne- | gotiate.

CONDUCT OF MARINES WINS APPROVAL OF EDGE Foreign Relations Group De- fers Action on Proposal to. Withdraw Forces. (By the Assoclated Press.) American activities in Nicaragua were debated briefly again yesterday in Senate, with Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, challenging the Senate to take a stand for or against the administration’s policy. The challenge passed without formal notice, the Senate turning back to con- sideration of the pefiding deficiency bill after a running fire of discussion in which several senators on the Re- publican side had defended the admin- istration’s program as the only one that could have been pursued. American marines came in for attack and defense during the debate, Senator Edge, Republican, New Jersey, praising them, and Senator King, Democrat, Utah, interrupting to ask what he thought of the fact that from a dozen to twenty marines had been sent, back fram Nicaragua for imprisonment in this country after conviction by court martial on charges-of murder. He ex- plained that he was referring to the previous American expeditionary force to Nicaragua, withdrawn in 1925. The New Jersey senator replied that the splendid behavior of the marine corps in the world war vindicated them, while Senator Willis, Republican, Ohio, declared the marines had stood by in Nicaragua always to see that jus- tice was done and lives protected. Committee Defers Action. Before the Senate discussion, the for- eign relations committee decided to defer action both on the Wheeler reso- lution for the withdrawal of American warships and marines from Nicaragua and on the Norris resolution proposing an investigation of published charges that the “ate Department undertook to have press associations disseminate propaganda affecting Nicaragua and Mexico. Also the committee decided against complying with Secretary Kellogg’s sug- gestion that it. make public the transcript of his statement to the com- mittee two weeks ago on Nicaraguan policy. A formal statement issued by Chair- man Borah said the committee held that the transcript was not complete since it had been revised by Mr. Kellogg and also that it was against sound policy to make public parts of the pro- ceedings in exceutive session; that if hearings are to be open they should ba open from the beginning. In a carefully prepared address on the Nicaraguan question, Senator Wheeler assailed both President Coo!l- withheld in the message which the chief executive recently sent to Con- gress. | The Montanan also asserted that American intervention was really to protect the investments of Brown Bros. and J. & W. Seligman, . New York bankers. He deciared Adolfo Diaz had been “‘warshipped” into the presi- dency by this country three different and now was “safety-pinned” there by the bayonets of American marines. ; Lawrence Dennis, American charge at Managua, was characterized as the “king maker” for the state department in the Central American republic and Diaz himself was called a betrayer of his people and a looter of the public treasury.

Dele- gates were promptly appointed and the Chinese tariff conference met on Octo- ber 26, 1925. : “Shortly after the opening of the conference and on November 3, 1925, the American delegation proposed that} the conference at. once authorize the) levying of a surtax of 21%, per cent on) necessaries, and, as soon as the requi- site schedules could, be prepared, au- thorize the levying of a surtax of up to 5 per cent on luxuries, as provided for by the Washington treaty. Our delegates furthermore announced that the government of the United States was prepared to proceed at once with the negotiation of such an agreement or agreements as might be necessary for maktng effective other provisions of) ' the Washington treaty of February 6, 1922. They affirmed the principle of | respect for China's tariff autonomy and | 'amnounced that they were prepared | -_ forthwith to negotiate a new treaty which would give effect to that prin- ciple and which should make provision for tho abolition of likin, for the re-| moval of tariff restrictions contained in existing treaties and for the put- ting into effect of the Chinese nationa! tariff law. Cites Resofution Adopted. “On November 19, 1925, the commit- tee on provisional measures of the con- ference, Chinese delegates participating, unanimously adopted the following resolution: “"The delegates of the powers as- sembled at this conference resolve to | | ' j ; adopt the following proposed article re- | lating to tariff autonomy with a view to incorporating it, together with other | matters, to be hereafter agreed upon. in a treaty which is to be signed at this conference: “The contracting powers other than China hereby recognize China’s right to enjoy tariff autonomy; agree to re- move the tariff restrictions which are contained in existing treaties between themselves, respectively, and China; and consent to the going’ into effect of the Chinese national tariff law on January 1, 1929." “The government of the republic of China declares that likin shall be abol- ished simultaneousiy with the enforce- nent of the Chinese national tariff law, and further declares that the abolition of likin shall be effectively carried out by the first day of the first month of the eighteenth year of the republic of China (January 1, 1929).’ “Continuously from the beginning of the conference our delegates and tech- nical’ advisers collaborated with the delegates and technical advisers of the othe> pewers, including China, in an «ffort to carry out this pla; viz, to put take Dr, Kaivards’ Olive Tablets: | into effect the surtaxes provided for in * a 4 > > ia) we Use, Ver sw, vJ. 20 O.o.-- "| ine Washington treaty, and to provide for additional tariff adequate for ell ; z ‘ Vr - y ~ Prior to this, the Chinese New Year, February 2, is expected to prove a time of anxiety for Shanghai.

(By the Associated Press.) Rumblings of warfare involving the, flappers, the young women and those | not so young, enrolled on the Senate | sheet are beginning to disturb the nd quiet of the Senate office bullding. The casus belli is furnished by a group of twelve reserved seats in the Senate galicries where the office help frequently foregathers during the luncheon hour and sometimes well be- vond—to root for “the boss” when the tilting in the Senate is sharp. Arrayed on one side in the feud are the even dozen women secretaries to enatorsa——one for each of the reserv- ed chairs—and on the other the le- “ion of committee clerks and stenogra- phers and clerks doing duty in the, senatorial offices. Thus far the secretaries hold the cit- | adel—-the reserved seats—but the charge of the short-skirted brigade is threatening since they have the pre- ponderance in numbers. Unlike the Senate, this brigade does | not believe in arbitration, if the con- Yay Peace i first n versations frequently heard in the cor-| ridors and offices furnish any index. “It gives me the pain,” confides one | fair bodded head on the fourth floor toa Visitor from the dim recesses of: the) “I was over there the other day sitting in the public gallery, mind you, and I saw that fat (referring by name to @ secretary) coming down the steps, preening herself anc smiling to the right and to the left as she pushed aside old women and old meh to get! to her seat. I could have just killed her!” “I'd like to her put me out,” boasts Miss Fourth Floor, after telling how a woman secretary had ejected one | clerk, “and, my dear, wheh this poor girl got to the door. she found two po- licemen. Why, che was scared stiff.” “I’m going to tell my senator,” they both chorused, and so the threats go! from group to group. If they are ever executed, a lot of senators will be able when it is all | over to qualify as arbiters in worse dis- putes than that with Mexico. see IS DERIDED BY REED aphoric White House Figure Given Up.

(By the Associated Press.) House Republicans will hold a cau cus February 21, to perfect thelr party)! organization for the next Congress. At that time Speaker Longworth and Rep- resentative Tilson, majority floor leader, are expected to be renominated with- out opposition. The question of inviting insurgents has not been decided, Representative of Oregon, chairman of the caucus, and Representative Sweet, of New York, secretary, planning to con- fer with Tilson later on this point. Mr. Tilson said that pending the confer-| ence he could not say what would be| done, but predicted that they would be} invited if they desired to attend. Two years ago the insurgents, head- | ed by Representative Nelson, of Wis-! consin, were barred from the caucus, | and subsequently ousted by the Repub- lican committee on committee from all | of the important committee posts. At! faucus it is expected that Repre-| sentative Madden, of Illinois, ago opposed Mr. Longworth for the speakership, will place the name of his former rival in nomination. The Republicans will have a clean majority in the next House, so nomination will be equivalent to election. TraOre os € i is . Will Recede Today Cincinnati, Jan. (By A.

CHANGE IN DICKENS’ ERA Modern novels can,ynot live through the ages to eternity Until writers re- gain the lost morat tone of the Vic- torian era. Thus Hugh Walpole, cele- audience last night a picture of modern literature as viewed through British ‘Will Rogers-Dislikes eyes. Speaking in the Memorial Con- tinental hall, he held up the modern novelist, however, as being further ad- | vanced than the Victorian. | In the old Gays, he said, the let his heart rule his work. Sh ae v¥ iter | His plots | The bad characters, ' under the stiff moral code of the Vic- | torian novel, started bad and ended bad, | came married. Now, the writer is ruled by his mind, he said. -He searches for the truth,’ then tells it. Nd more do authors write of things they do not know. That is the reason he holds for the end of the Lochinvars and such characters. Modernists write minutely, going into the tiny details of their own lives for material, and never once going outside the range of their own experi- ences, for fear of deserting the standard of truth. This eagerness for the truth in life combined the moral greatness of Vic- such as “Middlemarch,” modern writer a chance for ever- lasting fame. The transition already is underway, he said. And he pointed; to an added poetic undercurrent and, a new urge toward beauty, apparent in the latest writings. Up to 1870, he said, novels were gen- erally moving along in a set groove. But with the death of Dickens things began to change. Novels lost their simplicity with the coming of George Eliot, Trol- lope, Thomas Hardy and Robert Louis Stevenson. Then. in 1880, Arnold Bennett changed the trend to still more intrl- cate “writing.”” Mme. Bovary and all the rest of the French fiction charac- ters were the rage from then on. With the birth of the Yellow Book maga- zine, he said, came the short story that has no beginning or end, but merely takes up the reader, carries him on awhile, and then drops him. We wiil have this kind of story forever, he be- lieves. G. Wells, Arnold Bennett and Galsworthy, he holds directly ing, for they were determined to tell the truth of life as it never before had been told. Before these men came on was the end of everything.

Decision to call up farm relief legis- lation in the House immediately after disposal of the annual supply bills was reached yesterday by the rules commit- tee. The exact date is dependent on progress to be made with three appro- priation measures still to be acted on, but leaders regard it likely that they will be out of the way by the middle of next week.

The Chinese factions seem to have suspended hostilities, waiting breathlessly for the expected clash be- tween the Cantonese army and the Brit- ish forces that are assembling at Shanghai. Few observers believe that the large British forces, amounting to 21,000 men, will be engaged solely in de- fending British interests at Shanghai. They expect to witness an effort by the British commander in chief to reach Hankow and recover possession of the British concession. As this is held by the Cantonese army, an advance up the Yangtzekiang by the British would speedily provoke war. The United States intends to confine its military and naval activities to the protection of American life and property. There is no agreement requiring the United States to join hands with the out- side powers, even for the defense of for- eign compounds, and still less for gen- eral operations. Americans are anxious to have the (hinese people know that this country “oes not intend to take part in any war to enforce foreign demands or retain for- eign occupation of any part of China. Americans are not asking for special privileges, concessions, or territory. They are willing to treat with China as an equal, asking only most-favored-nation treatment. If the American people have their way, no American military or naval forces will engage in hostilities in China. Citizens of this country who are ‘1 danger are entitled to protection, and if possible they should be rescued. For- tunately the Chinese of Shanghai seem ‘0 understand that the United States is xeeking only the safety of its citizens tnd is anxious to avoid any action which yiaight be construed as part of a plan of the outside powers to check the nation- alist movement that is going on. Although legitimate British interests in China are very large, the great size of the British force now being sent to Shanghai may prove to be an unfortu- nate move by causing the Chinese to fear that the offensive is to be taken by the British commander. It is a most ticklish situation, upon the outcome of which may depend the continuation of the pres- ent British government. Strenuous pro- tests are voiced in England against the Chinese expedition. If war should come the sphere of hostilities might be ex- tended to embrace parts of India, where domestic unrest and Russian intrigue have been recognized as dangerous factors. British diplomatic agents have been feverishly engaged in trying to make peace with the Cantonese government, but thus far little headway seems to have been made. These agents are badly handicapped by reason of the fact that Britain holds Chinese territory as well as special concessions, which the Chinese now insist should be relinquished entire- ly. The amount of money involved, the intricate system of business that has been built up, and the large number of British subjects in China all conspire to make an adjustment extremely difficult, added to which is the intense anti-British feeling stirred up by Russian and native radicals. The world will welcome the announce- ment that the United States looks with sympathy upon the establishment of stable government in China, by the Chi- nese and for the Chinese. Whatever the policy of other powers may be, the United tates must avoid commitments which should be fired from an American gun in any aggressive operation’ against the Chinese armies or people. FOR PURCHASE OF PARK LANDS. Chairman Zihlman, of the House District | committee, has introduced a bill calling for | an annual appropriation of $200,000 with which to match appropriations made by Vir- ginia and Maryland for the purchase of park lands contiguous to the National Capital. Under its organic act the park ahd planning commission is authorized to secure such lands. Originally it was planned to appropriate for the commission $1,100,000 annually, or 1 cent per capita for the entire population of the United States, but the appropriations thus far have been entirely from District taxes to the amount of only $600,000 a year. Maryland now proposes to set up a fund for purchase of park lands to be coordinated to purchases by the National Capital body. It is unfair that local tax funds be spent for pur. chases outside the District. The Zihlman Dill specifies that half of the cost of outside lands should be paid by the government. In the meantime, opposition to the creation of a Maryland park and planning commission, to work in conjunction with the National Cap- ital body, seems to have developed. On the theory that the burden of purchases by such a body would have to be borne principally by Montgomery and Prince Georges counties, and that this is unjust, a protest has been for- | warded to Gov. Ritchie by residents of Hyatts- ville. In the protest, however, it is admitted that beautification of the Capital is an im- provement in which all are interested and in which all should join. The Zihlman measure meets this situation. For park lands outside the District the Federal government would share half the cost, an eminently fair arrange- ment, since practically all the funds for use of the National Capital park and planning commission are paid by taxation of the Dis- trict. The bill is fair to the District, the neighboring States and the Federal govern- ment. It should be enacted into law. THE REAL AND THE FALSE. The New York Times refers with approval to an address by Charles E. Hughes in which the former justice of the United States Supreme Court described that body. Mr. Hughes spoke of the principles of restraint adopted by the judges themselves, which have established the court as ‘‘an independent and exclusively ju- dicial body.’’ The court adopted the rule of deciding only actual cases. ‘‘Advisory opin- ions it refuses to give, although they were re- quested in the early days.” | When Americans were disposed to support the world court created by the league of na- tions they took it for granted that it was like the United States Supreme Court—‘‘an inde- pendent and exclusively judicial body.’’ Then they learned that its chief function was to ren- der advisory opinions to a political body. It would be a public benefit if Mr. Hughes and the New York Times would now frankly abandon their support of the bogus world court, and advocate the creation of “an independent and exclusively judicial body.’’ GIVE US A CHESS CZAR. One by one our national pastimes are puri- fying themselves. Some time ago, when the moving picture industry found itself in dis- favor, Will Hays was appointed dictator of the movies. Since then conditions have im- proved immeasurably. Baseball, too, under the benevolent czardom of Judge Landis, has been enthroned on the snow white peak of per- fection, with only an occasional charge of sloughing, gambling or improper practice to enliven the monotony. Possibly there still is room for improvement in football, although, despite the recent charges of a former Harvard star that Princeton deliberately attempts to gouge out the eyes of opponents and breaks their limbs whenever possible, the collegiate sport continues to draw huge audiences. Something must be done, however, to mop up the chess situation. Dr. Emanuel Lasker, former world’s chess champion, has rejected all overtures to take part in the forthcoming ‘grand masters’ tournament, alleging that in the 1924 tournament he had been clocked by a highly sophisticated timepiece and cheated out of his proportionate share of the gate re- ceipts. In reply the secretary of the tourna- ment committee denies the charges and makes the counter accusation that Dr. Lasker uses unfair ventilation methods to annoy his op- ponents and upset their train of thought, and makes a practice of smoking throughout a game long, black 6-cent cigars, which cause irritation to the throats of ordinary persons, as he blows the smoke across the table into the face of his opponent. Whether these charges be true or not, an investigation is in order. Here is an opening for some ambitious young senator. Further- more, a czar of chessdom should be appointed, so that the pastime may be continued under proper regulation. Rough stuff must be put down, and all rowdyism and mob rule rigor- ously suppressed. DEMONSTRATING FORESTRY. Following the free distribution of a million copies of the “Forestry Primer” by the Ameri- can Tree association of this city, comes the an. nouncement from Syracuse, N. Y., that the State college of forestry will demonstrate forestry ‘‘from the ground up,” where all may see the development* of the tree from the seedling to the lumber pile. | In Warren county, N. Y., just north of Glenn Falls and along the highway between Albany and Montreal, facetiously called the ‘“‘Bootleggers’ Trail,’’ is a vast tract of virgin timber lying on both sides of the highway be- tween Lake George and the Hudson. Through the efforts of Charles Lathrop Pack, of Wash- ington, this timberland has been conveyed to a trust, which during the coming summer will be operated under the auspices of the University of Syracuse. Throughout the season the forestry students of the university will “put the forest to work,”’ where every passer-by may see the scientific management of woodlands. Seedlings will be transplanted and cultivated, timber will be thinned out, and the ripened trees will be cut, converted into lumber and seasoned for com- mercial use. very conceivable operation in the art of \ : tes. + ; +e 7” eur Ph op hele nT pe a pay} ne ae ry, cout at ; *) “y Gar oh LS RNR, Sau wd ats had Tek tne BE o> eS 3 Ae ta qq x. “ ie sped = : mg ’ ~-be carried on by the students, for the double purpose of instructing the undergraduates of the university and educating the public in the conservation and restoration of the timber supply. There are ‘‘arboretums” for the growing of trees for replanting cut-over lands in many States, and schools of forestry are not rare, but the Charles Lathrop Pack Forestry Trust 'of the New York College of Forestry is the | first of its kind in this country, and, situated as it is for several miles along the main high- way of travel into Canada, it will afford most unusual sight-seeing features for the thousands of automobile travelers who traverse the route every year. The educational value of the work will be beyond computation. A VALUATION PLAN, Col. U. S. Grant 3d, director of public build- ings and parks, has worked out a scheme which should unravel the existing tangle re- garding park and school site purchases. Under the law, officials can not pay more than 25 per cent above the assessed price for any piece of property. Usually owners \are unwilling to part with their land at this: price, and since the law went into effect few transfers have been made. In part, the difficulties are due to the fact that present assessments no longer represent the true value of the property, and the 125 per cent limitation is below the mar- ket price. As a solution, Col. Grant suggests that a board of appraisers be appointed, made up of the assistant tax assessor, representatives of the Department of Justice and the park com- mission, and two citizens appointed by the commissioners. The board would appraise a stipulated number of parcels of land, 50 or more, for example, and the tax assessor either could revise their figures or accept them for his valuation. Such values would be up to date, and even though no government official would be permitted to pay more than 20 per cent above the assessed valuation -for the property, the present situation would be re- lieved. The plan is interesting and apparently will bear the closest scrutiny. Since it would re- lieve conditions which are blocking the prog- ress of park and school building programs, every effort should be made to have it enacted into law. F STREET BURGLARS. Some morning in the future the people of Washington will be astonished. They will search the columns of The Post in a vain effort to find the regular account of the looting of a store devoted to the sale of ladies’ frocks and furs. But that will come only when the noc- turnal collectors of such draperies have com- pletely supplied their wants. At present the demand is unsatisfied, and each morning readers are regaled with the account of the activities of the marauders who, having cleaned up in Connecticut avenue, are now devoting their attention to the stores in F street. These establishments afford rich returns for the labors of the collecting frater- nity. But the burglars appear to have great discernment, as they select only the choicest creations, with evidence of strong predilections for Parisian models. While it is perhaps somewhat annoying for the F street merchants to find, upon arriving at their establishments in the morning, that the necessity for a “special sale’’ has been averted through the unexpected calls which have been made on them during the night, they must at the same time experience a feel- ing of satisfaction in witnessing the evidence that their unwelcome callers have testified to the high quality of the goods carried. Of course no blame can be attached to the police department for its failure to apprehend the clothing collectors. They have plenty to keep them busy in preventing the violation of parking and traffic regulations. COSTLY CARELESSNESS. Fire losses in the District of Columbia in 1925 amounted to almost $1,000,000, accord- ing to the National Board of Fire Under- writers, an increase of 14 per cent over 1924. Nearly half the conflagrations were caused by matches or smoking. Next in importance came stoves, furnaces, boilers and their pipes, entailing a loss of about $57,000, after which is listed incendiarism, causing a total of ap- proximately $42,000 damage. The figures constitute a striking com- mentary on the cost of carelessness. Stove, furnace, boiler and pipe conflagrations, only to a relatively small extent due to carelessness, caused not quite 6 per cent of the losses. Smoking and matches caused approximately 45 per cent. For many years a campaign has been going on designed to impress upon smokers the po- tential danger of the lighted match or burning cigarette carelessly flung away. Nevertheless each year’s compilations of the causes of fire losses show that little progress has been made. Smokers continue to be careless, and the gen- eral public is forced to bear the burden of the loss caused by such carelessness. Responsi- bility is clearly up to each individual. Smok- ing carries with it the duty of making certain that matches or ashes do not cause conflagra- tions. ALIEN EGGS. All the agricultural woes are not confined to the United States, says the Newcastle Cour- ier. try of agriculture has been solemnly sitting on the state of the British egg, and has issued a fat printed report of the same. The tradi- tional English dish of bacon and eggs is ap- parently English only in name. The bacon comes from the United States and the eggs from all parts of the world. The alien egg, according to the report, has driven out the product of the native British hen. The Lat- vian, the Esthonian, the Norwegian and the Irish egg, together with the Danish, the Ger- man and the Polish egg, have caught the Brit- ish taste. Twenty million pounds sterling a year are being spent on alien eggs, and the ministry makes the formal recommendation that the English agriculturist give himself over seriously to raising British hens that will lay British eggs.

PROGRESS ON FARMS. ‘Improvement in the standard of liy- ing on American farms is rapidly bring- ing all the comforts of city life to the country, according to the Peru Tribune. More than 32 per cent of the nation’s farm homes, or a total of 2,040,404, have running water for cooking, wash- ing and other housekold purposes. Thirty-eight per cent of the farm women of America have abandoned the slavery of the washboard in favor of washing machines. Old-fashioned flat- irons are giving place to modern self- heating irons, many of them operated by electricity, with which thousands of rural residences are equipped. More than 65 per cent of the nation’s farm families have musical instruments. Twenty per cent of Uncle Sam's farm- houses have hardwood floors, while 58 per cent boast of kitchen cabinets. Traditional drudgery of the farmer's wife is being banished by growing use of labor-saving devices. There are 2,530,000 gas engines in operation daily on American farms, furnishing power for pumping water, sawing wood, churning and cream separating. | i The final test of personality is the ability to hold listeners while you LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

To the Editor of The Post-—Sir: I see where Mr. Andrews, chief of pro- hibition enforcement, claims the drug- gists are making exorbitant profits on medicinal whisky. He says they pay | but $30 per case and cell it for from | $2.50 to $3.50 per pint which is very true. But what about the doctors who prescribe? I think they are reaping still larger profits. The druggist must pay his $30 per case, while the doc- tors don't pay anything. Mr. Andrews says there are 88,000 doctors prescribing medicinal whisky, and that 12,000,000 certificates were issued in 1926, from which the gov- ernment does not derive $1 in revenue. The printing of these 12,000,000 cer- tificates costs a pretty nice sum alone, to say nothing of the steel plates used and the large salaries paid to all those employed ihn turn- ing out this class of work. Twelve million certificates at $2 each means $24,000,000 to the doctors and nothing to the government in revenue. athe druggist must pay, the doctors should be made to pay also, and not put it on the shoulders of the tax- payers. LOUIS FRANCIS. A Job for Johnny. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: There is a good job at the Capitol for Johnny Zwinger, of St. Paul, and he should apply to Senator Shipstead at once. Johnny is one of those Western won- ders who do things to attract news- paper artists. He broke into print this week when he was pictured alongside the giant clam of Malaysia which weighs 521 pounds, and Sarah Jane Taylor, widow of a Mormon patriarch, who boasts of 310 living descendants. But it “was not his stature made him great or won him his renown,” nor has he any great number of living descendants. He is famous for his ap- petite, he eats electric light bulbs and therein he could help the architect of the Capitol to solve a perplexing prob- lem—what to do with the discarded electric light bulbs. In one of the storerooms in the ter- race under the Senate wing of the Capi- tol are hundreds of thousands of these played out glass bulbs. There are bar- rels full of them, boxes piled high with them, and heaps of them on the floor of the room. They are valueless and a nuisance. Occasionally a Senate page manages to get hold of a few, and when no one is around the mischievous youngster amuses himself by throwing a few at the walls, thereby creating the impression that dynamite is being ex- ploded. But the pages can’t get many of them, and, .-ec.des, they evidently have a food value. It is to be hoped that the Minnescts senators will send for Johnny Zwinger and employ him to eat up the surplus bulbs which have passed their useful- ~ ness. C. A. HAMILTON, Why, of Course.

Among ‘them was a note from a bride, and in response to our comment of brides and cookery, and I am delighted to know, my dear, that you like your new cook- ery duties, and that, too, you like these recipes in The Post and that you clip and save them. At least of one thing we do feel sure, and that is that you will not be disappointed, for we are careful to almost an absurd degree with the recipes we print, and for each set of dimensions a perfect article is Supposed to take form. Not always are we able to give imme- diate attention to a communication, and in the mail at the studio today came a letter from a reader who, a few days ago, wrote for information,. and on not getting an immediate reply, writes to know why. Because there are many letters, my dear, and, although we wish very much to give immediate attention, it is sometimes impossible for us to do so, and especially this last week has it been impossible to keep things rolling in their natural order, since the Housekeeper has been away. One of the inquiries that has come to us is regarding the mint jelly recipe we gave last year, to be used with roast lamb. It was a good thing, was it not? This reader thinks so, and we know ourselves that to serve the jelly with either lamb chops or roast makes the meat more tasty and the meal more perfect. First let me give the rules that in general govern the making of jams and jellies, for they will simplify the di- rections for the mint jelly and hold for any of the spring jellies as they come along. May I ask that the jelly makers who are apt to want recipes this spring and summer cut this paragraph from the paper and file it away somewhere, that the questions may be reduced when the time comes. Jams and Jellies. In securing fruits for making jelly, always procure those which are some- what underripe. The fruits best suited for jelly making are currants, plum, quinces, crabapple, grapes and apples. These fruits will make a perfect jelly if not used overripe. A good Jelly should be bright in color and clear. When removed from the glass it should retain the shape of the mold and be tender enough to quiver without break- ing. With watery fruits, such as grapes and currants, use no water. Cut hard fruits into small pieces and use about three cups of water to each pound of fruit. Cook the fruit slowly until the juice begins to flow, then crush with a wooden potato masher. juice and for each cup allow three- quarters of a cup of sugar. The sugar should be placed in a shallow pan and warmed slightly in the oven. Reheat the juice and when it reaches the boil- ing point add sugar immediately. Cook rapidly about five minutes, removing the scum as it appears. To determine when the jelly has cooked sufficiently drop a teaspoonful of the sirup on a cold plate. If the jelly stage is reached “it will thicken slightly in a few seconds. When cold pour melted paraffin over the tops of the jelly glasses into which the sirup has been turned. Cover and store in a cool place that is both dark and dry. —————, Mint Jelly. Cut in eights, one peck of apples, put in a kettle with two quarts of cold water. Cover and bring to the boiling point and let simmer until the apples ness of cheese cloth and then bring the juice to a boil again and let it boil twenty minutes. Add three-fourths of its measure of heated sugar and boil five minutes more. Have ready a large bunch of fresh mint, wash and bruise it by pressing the leaves between the fingers. Pass the bunch through the boiling sirup until the desired mint flavor is attained. Add two table- spoonfuls of lemon juice and color with green vegetable coloring. Color very sparingly as it is a more simple process to add more than to take away, and the coloring matter is very vivid. Skim the jelly and turn it into the glasses. Italian Macaroni Gravy (Miss Neil). 1%4 cup olive oil. 2 pounds of round steak cut in tiny pieces. 8 cloves of garlic. 2 medium-sized onions. 2 tablespoonsfuls dried mushrooms, 1 tablespoonful chopped parsley. 1 teaspoonful marjoram or rosemary. 1 teaspoonful salt. % teaspoonful black pepper. 1 can tomatoes. 2 cups boiling water.

EVENT CLOSES SEASON Edward Johnson, Metropolitan Opera Co. tenor, and Ruth Breton, violinist, were the joint artists at Mrs. Lawrence Townsend’s twenty-first musical morn- ing at the Mayflower yesterday, which closed this series of musical events for the season. Mr. Johnson has all the attributes which make for concert success. His voice is mellow, filled with emotion and he has a pleasing personality and a happy method in presenting his num- bers which wins the audience. In his first song “Se nel ben,” by Alessandro Stradella, his splendid dic- tion and breath control were at once apparent. The audience liked, too, the “Lasciar d’Amarti,” by Francesco Gas- parini, which followed. A group of German songs, Joseph Marx’s “Waldseligkeit” and “Zuig- nung,” by R. Strauss, gave him still more opportunity to display the beauties of his voice and in the closing number of the group “Dimanche a Aube,” by Ducoudray, Mr. Johnson threw emotion and deep feeling into the Breton folk song. His most notable song was his encore Gradeate ema pm Glasses Fitted DR. ‘CLAUDE S. SEMONES Eyesight Specialist 409-410 McLachlen Bldg. 10th and G Sts. N.W. STUDEBAKER Just Drive It Eyes Examined to his final English number when he sang the sob song “Vestia la guiba,” from “I] Pagliacci.” Mr. Johnson is one of those who sing it as it should be sung, and he earned the thunderous applause with which it was greeted. In the English group many liked “A Piper,” by Micheel Head, given with ‘| pathos and understanding.

Come Early If You Can FOOTER’S Cleanérs and Dyers 1332 G St. N.W. Main 2343 arrangement of the old Scotch song “Lizzie Lindsay” was a distinct depar- ture from the traditional manner of singing this ballad. Ruth Breton, violinist, was equal in artistry, tone and general musicianship. It seemed remarkable that this slip of a girl should have such reserves of tone and such facility with harmonics, dou- ble stopping and other violin intrica- cies. Technique is hers also, and in yesterday’s concert she won favor with her opening number, “Aria,” by Per- golese, while the “Menuet,” by Porpora, was one of the high points of the pro- gram, so far as she was concerned. Her breadth of tone, emotional stress of phrasing and lovely “G” string work came out most favorably in “Nocturne,” by Chopin, which she played with a thorough understanding of the classic. Another interesting number was “Hul- lanzo Ballaton” (Hubay), a composi- tion which taxed her violin powers, but which she met in a most excellent manner. Her concluding numbers were “The Hills,” by Burleigh, and ‘‘La Cam- panella,” by Paganini. In the last named Miss Breton again demonstrated that she had a sure command of all the resources of her instrument. Miss Breton gave several encores. E. E. P.

This is a travesty and prosti- tution of justice; that this judge, sworn to do his duty, should first instigate law violation and then have the au- dacity to sit in these cases. It is time to call a halt if we are so blind to jus- tice. I urge the committee on Jjudi- ciary to investigate this question at once. It behooves the committee to set impeachment in motion. His pun- ishment should be nothing short of im- peachment. be cleared of those who stoop to such practices. “It is passing strange that neither Gen. Andrews nor Commissioner Blair placed any censure on Merrick or any of the others guilty of espionage or undercover methods, although botn of these gentlemen disapprove of such methods. I have high regard for Gen. Andrews and hope that in future he will summarily dismiss from service any one guilty of the acts that he now con- demns.” The intimation that Gen. Andrews, ssistant Secretary of the Treasury in charge of prohibition, would not con- tinue in office for long came from usually well-informed quarters. Gen. Andrews has stated on several occa- sions that it would be impossible for him to reach effectiveness in enforce- ment without certain additional aids in the way of legislation from Congress. PAGE 1.) Andrews Threatened to Quit. The present House and Senate knocked out the ‘under cover” fund authorization sought by Gen. Andrews early in the session and more recently administration leaders have shelved other measures approved by the Treas- ury Department. The two with which Gen. Andrews has been most concerned are the distillery bill, which would au- thorize' the government to engage in the manufacture of. medicinal whisky; and the organization bill. which would take prohibition enforcement from un- der the jurisdiction of the commis- sioner of internal revenue. Gen. Andrews has let it be known, it is understood, that if Congress failed to act on these two measures, at least, he could not remain in the post which | he now occuples. The prohibition official made the same sort of a suggestion some months ago, but was prevailed upon: to remain in office following his trip to London. during which he negotiated the smug- gling agreement with Great Britain. At that time higher officials of the Treas- ury and the administration were active in getting him to change his mind. This feeling, it is said, no longer obtains among Gen. Andrews’ riors. The facts brought out by the Reed resolution, requesting information | on. “undercover” operatives, are said to have been a decidedly unpleasant shock to Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, who had not been fully in- formed of the sort of activities in which the prohibition enforcement section was engaging. Due to this feeling on the part of the head of the Treasury Department, it is said with authority that when Gen. Andrews expresses a desire to resign again no objections will be registered, and control of this phase of the Treasury duties intrusted to some one else. School Will Train Dry Law Inspectors (By the Associated Press.) A training school for prohibition in- spectors will open here shortly. At- tendance will be limited to specialists connected with the alcohol and brewery squads. The course will be of about three weeks duration and will consist in a study of Treasury regulations and decisions, and special lectures. James Cooper Waddell, supervisor of alcohol and brewery control, will be in charge of the school. Judge Cooper Silent On Charges in House Albany, N. Y., Jan. 26 (By A.

Secretary Under McKinley and Roosevelt Retired From Business in 1906. HEADED 1893 EXPOSITION San Diego, Jan. 26 (By A. P.).—Lyman J. Gage, former Secretary of the Treas- ury and recognized for many years -as one of the leading bankers of the coun- try, died at Point Loma, near here, to- day. He retired from active business in 1906, his last public appearance being in 1920, when he was one of a party of distinguished men who made a trip to Japan. Mr. Gage was born in De Ruyter, N. Y., June 28, 1836, and up to 1861, when he arrived in Chicago, where he achieved national fame, he had been an office boy and accountant. He became presi- dent of the First National Bank of Chicago in 1891, and continued that position until he was drafted to the secretaryship of the Treasury by Presi- dent McKinley. He also served in the same capacity under President Roose- velt. It was wh‘le Mr. Gage was Secretary of the Treasury in 1897 that his most outstanding work was accomplished. This was the floating of an issue of #200,000,000 bonds authorized at the beginning of the Spanish-American war. The rate was 3 per cent and the loan, after much doubt had been ex- pressed, was taken by individual offers from more than 320,000 subscribers. Mr. Gage always looked upon the floating of the bond issue as the best accomplishment of his public life. He said he popularized American war loans. The experiment justified itself and strengthened the nation, he often told friends. He was head of the American Bank- ers association for three terms, and for years was a trustee of the Carnegie institution. He was honored by posi- tions of ‘high trust in Chicago. His widow survives him. Lyman Judson Gage, Secretary of the Treasury from 1897 to 1902, was promi-' nent in Chicago banking circles before entering the McKinley cabinet. He was the first president of the board of directors of the world’s Colum- bian exposition in 1893 and for three terms was head of the American Bank- ers association. He was also for years a trustee of the Carnegie institution, Washington, D. C., and president of the Civic Federation of Chicago. The honor- | ary degree of doctor of laws was con- ferred upon him in 1897 by Beloit col- lege, and in 1908 by New York unl- versity. He was thrice married, the first time in 1864 to Miss Sarah Ethe- ridge, of Hastings, Minn., who died in 1874; the second time to Mrs. Cornelia Washburn Gage, of Denver, in 1887, and the third time to Mrs. Frances Ada Ballou, of San Diego, Calif., in 1909. HERBERT B. HANGER DIES. Was President of Company Manufac- turing Artificial Limbs Here. Herbert Blair Hanger, president of J. E. Hanger, Inc., Washington company manufacturing artificial limbs, died at his home in Cathedral Mansions ' last night following an iliness of three weeks. Mr. Hanger was born in Churchville, Va., in 1882, and came to Washington 30 years ago. He is survived by his wife, a daughter, Teresa, and a son, Blair, and a. brother, Hoover Hanger. Funeral arrangements will be completed today. MRS. CLARA HENRICH DIES. Grand Matron of Eastern Star Order Was on Inspection Tour. (By the Associated Press.) Mrs. Clara Henrich, of Newport, Ky., most worthy grand matron of the gen- eral grand chapter of the Eastern Star, died’ after a short illness Tuesday at Shanghai, China. She was on a tour of inspection of Eastern Star chapters in China, Hawaii and the Philippines.

The bill seeks to prevent changes to property after the commission has set about to acquire it.

A bill by Representative ‘Gilbert, of | Kentucky, growing out of one originally introduced by Representative “McLeod, of Michigan, to equalize the inheritance law in regard to women, was ordered favorably reported; as was one by Rep- resentative Gibson, of Vermont, to au- thorize the installation of the photo- static system of recording in the office, of the recorder of deeds. 9. — %; "% eter ele ely + > *; *. x % > % ce ee ey J + 9 > % % * Se No. 2121 New York Ave. N.W.

Mrs. Pullen climbed the stairs slowly, being heavy with fatigue, but she was happy. “T’ll be so glad to stop that awful scandal,” she said. “I almost wish Mrs. Hamilton was coming, so she could see my nice new things, and hear me when I tell the ladies about how she lied.” She was asleep. almost instantly after her head touched the pillow a smile of “That's just ike a man.” Mrs. Pullen resumed operations on the cook stove. “The bride’s mother has to plan, the wedding, doesn’t she?

Julia, in a new one-piece dress of French serge and a new hat, climbed into the car beside her father, after breakfast. “Now you both come home early if you can,” said Mrs. Pullen. “It'd be nice if you could come before the ladies go away. It will be such a pretty tea.’ full retired to the living room. “You're trying to marry lawyer before parting shot.

But it isn’t really any different, Julia. It always was hard to get a man interested, so he’d propose.” Her daughter was arranging the pas- try on platters. “Mama, you won’t say anything to Mr. Parks about getting married, will you?” “Ho!” Mrs. Pullen laughed cheerily. “I know better than that, Julia. You can’t catch a man that way.” “But I don’t want to catch him!” the girl protested. Her mother paused, resting the fun- nel on the table. “Julia, don’t get a uot of false ideas. One man’s as good as another, as long as he’s got money and is willing to work. Has Mr. Parks got any money?” “I don’t know, I’m sure. He doesn’t get much salary, though—lawyers never pay good salaries to these young fel- lows.” “Is he nice looking?” Julia considered.’ “I think he is. He’s slim, and wears nose glasses with a ribbon when he’s reading, and has a nice voice. He wants me to go out and dance with him.” “Just you do it, Julia,” Mrs. Pullen said. ‘“You’re around the house too much. A girl should have some fun.” Her daughter’s eye twinkled. “That's what the fat man-said.’ “And he was right, too,’’ her mother declared. “I wish your father danced. I'd like to go to supper and dance, and have a gay time, out in society.

Then you’ll know.” The father and daughter arranged to meet that evening in front of the building where Julia worked, in order that they might come home together. Julia was waiting on the curb when Pullen came, just before dark, and she leaped to the seat beside him. “New Clothes!’’ she exclaimed, they started away. “I bought this suit last week,” he said, “but they had to alter it. I wanted to look flossy if I showed up for your mama's party. Is it all right?’ “Lovely,” she said. “You’re a regu- lar sheik.” He stopped the car suddenly. A honking of motor horns immediately sounded behind him. “There’s Sam Carlile,” he said, beckoning. The young man, however, failed to see them, and dodging through the traffic he disappeared.

Pullen drew up to the curb, and they alighted. “Funny there are no machines out in front,” he said. “Why, Julia! The house is dark!” He ran up the steps, the girl hurry- ing after him. He tried the doorknob, but it refused to turn. Producing his latch key he fumbled at the lock. Julia was holding tightly to his arm. “Elsie!” he called, as he entered the dark hall. There was no.answer. He turned on the light, and glanced into the living room. The chairs all were in order, as Mrs. Pullen had placed them the even- ing before. The man and girl hastened to the dining room. As Pullen pressed the switch, and the lamps flashed on, Julia gave a gasping cry. Mrs. Pullen was sitting alone at the table, her hands folded on the cloth, her head erect, her eyes staring at the wall. Befdre her were the heaps of sandwiches, and little cakes and can- dies that .she had so lovingly arranged. The candles were wholly burned out. She did not move as Pullen ran to her, and dropping to his knees took her in his arms. (Continued tomorrow.) if Mr. Work’s Pointer | On Auction Bridge ; ioe pointer for today is: Do not hold up when original lead shows that neither adversary can be exhausted. On Monday I gave a case in which a Declarer, with Ace-x-x and with no possible trick in the suit in Dummy, should not hold-up, and yesterday an- other Ace-x-x hand was shown to be studied until today. It is another non- hold-up, but in giving such examples I wish to emphasize that the hold-up is advantageous oftener than not and, it should be made unless Declarer is sure that his hand belongs to one of the ex- ceptional classes. When determining whether to hold-up or not, the Declar- jer should always appreciate that the sole object of the hold-up is to exhaust the adversary on the right so that he can not lead the established adverse suit. When the card originally led shows that the adversary on the right has at least four cards of the suit and can not be exhausted by holding up until the third round, then such hold- up is obviously useless and merely starts the adversaries off with two tricks. When the original lead is the Deuce or, considering the other cards in sight, a card which must be the lowest held by. the leader, and when the De- clarer in his two hands holds a total of only five cards of the suit led, it is clear that the leader having four and the Declarer having a total of five, the adversary on the right must have four, and the hold-up can not be of advan- tage to the Declarer. In the No Trump hand given yester- day the cards were distributed as fol- lows: North Ss. “ -Q-J-7-3. H. D. 10: 8-7. C. Q-10-7-3. West Lead Three of Hearts Queen of Hearts. South 8-4. H. A-9-6. D. A-Q-J-4-2. C. A-K-J. In this case the hold-up is clearly use- less. Declarer has a total of four Hearts in his two hands and the lead of the Three). shows that the leader, who pre- sumably led his fourth best, can not have had more than five because there is but one card lower than the Three. Even if he had five, Declarer can count that East must ‘have four and that to hold up would sacrifice two tricks with- out any return, because Ace-x-x can never exhaust a hand which holds at'! least four cards in that suit.

INCE so many people misunder- stand this point, I will explain it again. Certain occasions are con- sidered formal, socially. Also, from the business side of life, certain occasions demand formality.

It goes out to her as the rest of the in- ‘vitations go out to all gradations of acquaintances and strangers. “Mr. and Mrs. Peter Marston reque8t the pleas- ure of Mr. and Mrs. John Brown’s com- pany.” Mrs. John Brown understands that it is a large, formal dinner. Again, you wish to inquire from a department store why they have not sent you some expected merchandise. You write, say, to Stone & Company. “Mrs. Peter Marston has not yet re- ceived the set of china ‘and the table- cloth and napkins she _ ordered on Wednesday last, the sixth of January.

EADERSHIP is more important :. than followship for a dominating nation. History furnishes more than one illustration of a nation that was put on the map through the genius of a single man. Greece and Rome are the classical illustrations of what a small group of very superior beings were able to do in establishing enduring reputations for a nation of people who otherwise were about on a par with the neighbors. If any nation could solve the prob- lem of breeding genius; and then ap- ply what was known, that nation would far outstrip any other nation. Neither bad climate nor poor land nor any other hindrances could hold them back were they given the advantage of sole knowledge of how to breed genius. And yet the subject is one that has received very little attention. Galton studied it. Havelock Ellis, Wood, Cal- tell and a few others have written about it, but as yet it is almost undis- covered country. The latest contribution is Volume II of the Genetic Study of Genius by Cox. This series of studies is being made at Leland Stanford university by Terman and his associates. Volume I embodied a study of several thousand superior children attending California _ schools. The Terman schools hold that youth is especially the period in which men and women of supertor ability should be studied. One chapter in Volume I told of the later histories of a group of superior children reported on by Terman several years ago. In this second volume Cox gives the result of study of about 300 eminent men and women in various parts of the world. . To begin with, it is not easy to define genius. It is even more difficult to de- cide whether a given man of eminence was a genius or not. Terman cuts the knot by calling his 300 “people of eminence.” He might have called them “people of great achievement.” I expect that is as far as we should go in writing about historical characters. A man may achieve a great deal with- out being of the mental type that comes to mind when the term “genius” is used. The Cox study lead to these three conclusions: 1. Youths who achieve eminence have in general: (a) a heredity which is above the average and (b) superior ad- vantages in early environment. Emi- nence is not a function either of heredity or environment alone. 2. Youths who achieve emjnence are distinguished in childhood by behavior HOW TO KEEP WELL By DR. W. a A. EVANS which indicates an unusually high I. Q@. Later achievement is foreshadowed in youthful behavior. I. Q. tests would show intellectual supericrity. 3. Youths who achieve eminence in later life are characterized by high in- tellectual traits and also by persistency of motive and effort, confidence in their ability, and great strength and force of character. For outstanding achievement all three of these requirements are necessary, or néarly so. | JUST FOLKS By EDGAR A. GUEST———~Y MOTHER’S INSTRUCTION GOES WRONG. She was plainly very old, And the day was bitter cold, When he saw her as he drove along the street. And there popped into his head Words his mother oft had said: “Be kind to aged people that you meet. Son, in every way you can Be a thoughtful gentleman. Do for others what you’d have them do for us.” To himself he said: “It’s cold, And that lady’s very old, And it’s bitter, bitter waiting for the bus!” So he pulled up to her side And he offered her a ride With a defferential flourish of his hat. “If you'll step inside with me, I will take you home,” said he. But the answer that she gave him floored him flat. For she opened up her mind: “IT have heard about your kind And I never ride around with strange young men! Let your false attentions cease! I will shout for the police If you ever dare to speak to me again! “Would your mother like to be \ On the streét alone like me And approached in such a manner?” Here he smiled. “Has she never taught to you What a gentleman should do?

Respectfully, SALLY You are the self-conscious, studied type. You have a certain set style of “behavior” for men—and another equally studied style for women. Dur- ing the war thousands of these types were swept into a semblance of natural |interest in their fellow-beings, and 'found themselves married. You walted, and the cataclysm passed. And so did your spurt of naturalness. Now you see men as “n instead of people. nen” And there is as much sympathetic un- derstanding between you and them as between the umbrella stand in the hall and the hat rack. There is really nothing on earth that anyone can suggest to a woman who wants men to love and yearn for her and who yet tries to be nice to men but does not and will not gush over them. Watch a few thousand men at @ ball game, and see if the spectacle suggests to you a possible reason wh) the studied determination to concea! personal enthusiasm for either people or things leave the average man rather cold. The attitude you have observed in other girls and describe as “gush- ing’ is merely the natural enthusiasm which blesses some people. Take en- thusiasm out of life and what is left?

Cc. D. Answer: Running and also rope- jumping, if practiced assiduously, would be helpful. In addition, you might try the following exercises. 1. From standing position, take squatting position. Place hands on knees and rise slowly, pressing down hard with the finger-tips. 2. Take squatting position as before, and hold. Then try the Russian dance step, in which each foot is alternately extended straight out in front. 3. Take squatting position and place hands palms down on the floor in front of toes. Now take a spring and extend the body full length, resting the weight on the hands and the toes. Dear Viola Paris: I am troubled by the unsightly appearance of my ankles. I have cists, like puffs, on each side of the ankle bone. Is my case in- curable? My left ankle turns in, and both my ankles are very weak, THANKFUL READER. This is a case for a foot specialist and perhaps a _ surgeon. However, it is by no means hopeless. You should not negiect it, but should consult an orthopedic specialist as soon as possible. Low-heeled shoes conforming to the shape of the foot should be worn. Answer: Dear Viola Paris: What is a good astringent to use after washing the ‘face? Can you suggest a dark cream that can be harmlessly used on the eyelashes? MABEL. Answer: A very simple but. effective astringent can be made at home by adding a few drops of tincture of benzoin to two ounces of plain witch- hazel.

NO FUNDED DEBT NO BANK DEBT Outstanding : $1,700,000 150,000 back of New York City’s Bonds | ese of the obligations of New York City stands the prestige of the world’s commercial and financial metropolis with its steadily expanding commerce, steadily rising property values, steadily. growing population and resources. During the past fifteen years the assessed valuation of taxable real estate in the city has increased 65%, from $7,861,898,000 to $12,997,580,000, and its population over 20%, from 4,960,948 to about 6,000,000. Mr. E. Mead Johnson, Sr., President of the Company, summarizes his letter to us as follows: Business: Mead Johnson & Company was incorporated under the laws of Indiana in 1915 and is today the largest manufacturer of infant diet materials in the United States. Its principal product, Mead’s Dextri-Maltose, is sold in 25 countries, has a wide distribution in the United States, Canada and several Latin-American countries, and is being rapidly introduced in England and some of its colonies, as well as in other parts of the world. Other highly specialized infant foods made by the Company are Mead’s Standardized Cod Liver Oil, Casec, Mead’s Lactic Acid Milk, Meatl’s Protein Milk, Recolac and Mead’s Powdered Milk. All of the Company’s products are purchased by the consumer from druggists on the prescription or recommendation of physicians. The Company advertises to the medical profession exclusively and reaches over 300,000 physicians through direct mail advertising, space in medical journals and through its own representatives. A recent survey indicates that over 98 per cent of the wholesale druggists and 80 per cent of retail druggists in the United States carry the Company’s products and the number of infants whose daily feedings consist wholly, or im part, of products made by this Company is estimated at over 500,000. Earnings: Mead Johnson & Company have made consistent progress and for ten years the sales and profits of each year have shown an increase over the preceding one. Long term borrowings by the city have been invested largely in permanent municipal proper- ties such as rapid transit lines, water supply and distribution systems, water front and dock im- provements—all of which are largely self-sup- porting—in addition to municipal buildings, public schools, parks and parkways, etc. The value of these city assets, on the basis of the cur- about $900,000,000 more than the total funded debt of the city now in the hands of the public. ( Resting upon the full faith, credit and taxing power of the largest city in the western hemi- sphere, obligations of New York City are a con- servative investment, combining unusual secur- ity, ready, marketability and freedom from taxation. In the present market they offer a rent assessed value of similar privately owned slightly higher yield than is obtainable on many oe Mp my par — property, is approximately $2,200,000,000, or other obligations of similar grade. 1926 (December 6,644,161 1,034,380.48 6.10* + - . + *Earnings to November 30, 1926, as shown by audit, were $940,980.48 and December earnings were estimated on basis of actual sales. . Messrs. Wolf & Company and Ernst & Ernst have certified that the consolidated earnings of the Company, after eliminating non-recurring bonuses to officers (for 1924 $135,461.30, and for 1925 $162,999.08) and after allowing for Federal Taxes at 1314%, have been as follows: Number of Packages Sold 2,705,616 3,495,096 4,450,376 Year Ending Dec. 31 1922 1923 1924 Net Earnings After Federal Taxes at Present Rate $ 433,927.11 527,198.90 669,752.10 Earnings Per Share of Common Capitalization Outstanding $2.09 2.72 W ll all issues of New York City | Dividends: The Directors have placed the Common Stock on a yearly dividend basis of $3.00 per share, payable . quote, buy and hs be N ty Bonds quarterly, the first dividend date to be on or before April lst, 1927. Current Position: Current assets on November 30, 1926, after deducting the dividend since paid on Common Stock, were over 5.3 times all liabilities, including reserve for Federal income tax on 1926 profits. Cash and marketable ‘securities alone were over 3.2 times such liabilities. Management: The Management which has developed the Company to its present position of leadership and earn- ing power will continue in charge of its affairs. We offer this stock ‘“‘when, as and if issued and received’’ by us and subject to approval of our counsel. Legal matters to be passed upon by Mr. Phelps Darby for Company and Messrs. Dykema, Jones & Wheat for bankers. The Company’s accounts havejbeen certified by Messrs. Wolf & Company and Messrs. Ernst & Ernst. It is expected that stock certificates will be ready for delivery on or about February 10th, 1927. The Company has agreed to make application in due course to list this stock on the New York Curb.

The schedule Stagg ar- ranged in his 4-year program pro- vides for playing every team in the conference, with the exception of Northwestern. “This 4-year game schedule is not a round-robin,” said Stagg tonight. “It is an agreement of games. made for the next four years, instead of a year- to-year as heretofore. “The schedule wes unanimously adopted and willingly so, by all of the ten of the athletic directors. “In a meeting held in Washington last November, eight of the college presidents approved such a method and requested the directors to make such an arrangement for four years, if pos- sible. “Maj.

Rules That Commis-| mim sloners Havé Power to Create New Post. CONTINGENT ON FUND FOR INCREASE IN PAY Move Indicated in Report to Congress Urging Passage of Blanton Bill. Prospect of y restoration of Police Captain Albert J. Headley to his for~- mer rank of inspector loomed yester~- day when it became known, at the Dis- trict building, that Comptroller General John R. McCarl has ruled that the com- missioners have authority to create a new inspectorship to which to promote him, contingent on obtaining sufficient appropriation for his increased salary. This news was contained in a report in which the commissioners recom- mended to Congress paasage of the Blanton bill to combine the United States park police force with the metro- politan police force of the District. The bill contains a provision creating an additional inspectorship. The com- missioners said in their report that this Was unnecessary in view of McCarl's recent ruling. McCar!l was recently asked to rule on the point by a member of Congress interested in the promotion of Headley, and it is presumed that an effort will be made to provide an additional in- apector’s salary in the 1928 police de- partment budget. — In Command at Start. Headley was in command of the police traffic bureau, with the rank of in- epector, when the traffic department was Organized, and M. O. Eldridge was appointed director of traffic. Eldridge tnduced former Commissioner Frederick A. Fenning, in the early days of the latter’s thirteen-month term of office, to demots Headley to captain and re- move him from command of the bu- reau. This was done without submis- sion of charges or opportunity for Head- ley to make a defense. The commissioners yesterday also ap- proved and transmitted to Congress a bill proposing to merge the police and municipal courts into one municipal court with civil and criminal branches housed in the same building, with separate entrances for each branch. The bullding that will contain them is the 61,200,000 police court structure it is proposed to erect in Judiciary aquare, for which the commissioners this week asked an initial, appropriation in the estimates supplemental to the 1928 District budget. Citizens Write Bill. A citizens’ committee wrote the biii the motorman replication that he never prep signed the releases and that if he did they were obtained by fraud and col- lusion.

AUTO KILLINGS IGNORED Frank Bell, colored, was indicted yes- terday by the grand jury on a charge of manslaughter in connection with the death of Julius Minor on December 16 last. According to the indictment, Bell struck Minor over the head with 4 shovel in a ditch at Fourth and Allison streets northwest where both were working. Benjamin F. Leber and Marion L Carter were indicted on a charge of possessing a smoke screen apparatus in an automobile. According to Sergt George M. Little, of the Sixth precinct, and Policemen Joiner and Murray and Prohibition Agent Schultz, the defend- ants had a device which would emit mustard gas. Lavton 8S. Wade was also indicted on a charge of possessing a smoke screen device. The same wit- nesses appear against Lawton as ap- peared against Leber and Carter. The grand jury ignored a charge of homicide against Clemente Tamarra in connection with the death of Aaron B Vail, who was run down and killed by an automobile on December 26. Vail was fixing a tire near the re.rvoir, when he was struck and killed ‘by an automobile. Mrs. Louise V. Vail, widow of Vall, sued Tamarra for $10,000 dam- ages in the circult court. The grand jury also ignored a homi- cide charge against Eward V. Slaugh- ter in connection with the death of Mra. Maude E. Butler. The latler died January 9 last, after a collision be- tween a machine itn which she was rid- ing and one alleged to have been driven by Slaughter at and K streets northwest.

Hesse, superintendent of police, yesterday planned to present to the District board of commissioners, at its first meeting in February, a list of approximately 850 public hack stands, where taxicabs will be permit- ted to wait for passengers. Agreement with all the taxicab com- panies and independent owners of cabs was reached Tuesday evening at a conference in Maj. Hesse’s office. The police chief presented a list of 811 hack stands he pro to ask the commissioner to establish, most of them new ones The taxicab men suggested changes in the locations of a few of these and the list was finally agreed to. Three of the large companies asked leave to suggest additional stands and the po- lice chief gave them until the end of the month to submit them. “I will accept their ists unless rea- sons appear for rejecting some of the suggested stands,” said Maj. Hesse, “for my desire is to have as many stands as the business will support, to end the ‘cruising’ evil, with its added traffic congestion, while at the same time making cabs easily available to the public. “If the commissioners approve the list, the stands will be established as soon as the traffic bureau can equip them with painted signs to keep off parkers.”’ ADEQUATE QUARTERS a ee me ae ne + a me mee es OF BUSCH Leader in Gun Fight, Patrolman Says.
