FATE DETERMINED AT SUNDAY HEARING Director Insists He Did Not Read Letters He Signed Ordering Signals. X The fate of Director of Traffic M. O. Eldridge and his suspended assistant, Lieut. Col. I. C. Moller, was unofficially decided yesterday and will be officially determined this morning. Although none of the commissioners would in- dicate last night the decision they had reached, it was said division of re- sponsibility for the traffic signal scan- dal between Eldridge, the responsible head of the traffic department, and Moller, who confessedly juggled orders to the Crouse-Hinds Co., of Syracuse, for signal lights, could not. be under- taken. Moller has been slated for dis- missal ever since he was suspended a month ago, following hearings before the Gibson subcommittee. It is known that Commissioner Proc- tor L. Dougherty, in whose subdivision of administrative supervision the traffic department falls, has been considering names of persons from whom to select a successor to Moller. Bureau May Be Abolished. It is not deemed certain, however, that a successor will be appointed either for Eldridge or Moller for the present. Some other arrangement may be made, in view of the expectancy that the bureau of efficiency, in its final report, if not at once, will recom- mend that the traffic department be abolished and its work be divided be- tween the police and electrical depart- ments. Investigation of the scandal ended with a final hearing of Eldridge and Moller consuming all of yesterday and part of Saturday, in the offices of the bureau of efficiency, in the presence of the three. commissioners. The hearing began Saturday at 1 p. m. and lasted until 5:30. It was re- sumed at 10 a. m. yesterday and lasted until 9 o’clock in the evening, with intervals only for hurried meals. At the conclusion. of the hearing Lieut. Col. J. Franklin Bell, engineer (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2, COLUMN 6.) Death by Live Wire Laid to Kite String Memphis, Tenn., March 27 (By A. P }. A kite string, entangled in high ten- sion electric wires, was believed by >f- ficials of the Memphis Power & Light Co. to have caused the death today of James Horner, 35 years old, who with Clyde Thompson, 23, had stopped their car under the wire to repair a flat tire when the wire fell on them. Thompson was believed dying in a hospital tonight from burns and, shock. Horner was killed almost instantly when the wires overhead parted and fell across his body, also striking Thompson. FOUR KILLED BY TRAIN AS GIRL DRIVES AUTO Bewildered, She Starts Again After Stopping at Cross- ing; Youth Hurt. Special to The Washington Post. Grand Rapids, Mich., March 27.—A ‘| young girl, bewildered by an approach- ing train, drove four persons to their deaths at Grandville, near here, today, when she steered the car into the path of a Pere Marquette locomotive, which was making a test run. The dead are William Ames, 45 years old, of Grandville; William Ames, jr., 7, his son; Florence Ames, 15, niece of William, and Clifford Ames, 8, nephew of William. Another son of William Ames, Floyd, 21, the only occupant of the car not killed, is in a hospital here. His skull is fractured and it is believed he will not recover, William Ames had called at the house of a brother, Ray Ames, of Wyoming Park, and was returning to his own home, a few miles away, taking Ray's children so that they might have Sun- day dinner at his home.

CRISIS THOUGHT AVERTED The subject of the “mystery note” sent to tMe Mexican government by the United States, about which the State Department has maintained strict silence, is reported in an article appearing this morning in the New York Times to have been the clearing up of a menacing situation brought about by the appearance in the hands of the Calles administration of com- munications purporting to have been signed by Secretary Kellogg and now known to have been forged. The documents, it is reported, were designed to foment trouble between Mexico and the United States. The evident purpose of those responsible for them was to cause at least a break in the relations of the two countries. It.is believed, the Times says, that the Mexican government. is now assur- ed of the entire innocence of the United States of connection with what appears to have been a conspiracy to bring about an-international crisis. It now appears that there were two “mystery notes,” one addressed to the Mexican government by the United States and the other the response of, Mexico. “George Barr Baker, of New York, a former hewspaperman, now engaged in other business,” the Times reports, “was instrumental in bringing about the exposure of the plot, according to information obtained here, and the United States was enabled to show the Mexican government that the trouble-. making communications were forgeries. “According to information obtained by the New York Times, Mr. Baker laid the foundation for exposing the forger- ies during a month’s visit to Mexico. He is understood to have been there from January 15 to February 15. His business there was to investigate cer- tain business prospects, especially in connection with oil interests, and to ob- tain material for newspaper articles. Mr. Baker called on President Calles soon after he reached Mexico City. Blast Rocks Town; Laid to Fruit War Lansing, Mich., March’ 27 (By A.P.). An explosion, attributed by police to warring fruit dealers, destroyed a build- ing occupied by the Michigan Beverage Co. in the downtown section here to- day. The blast, believed to have been caused by a heavy charge of dynamite, rocked the entire business section and did damage estimated at $50,000. No one was injured. The blast hurled debris for blocks, broke windows in adjoining buildings and awakened the residents in the vicinity. Two young girls, asleep in a room in an adjoining building, were covered with splinters of glass and wreckage, but were not hurt. TONG WAR CLOSED WITH RATIFICATION OF PEAGE TREATY Chinese in Washington Again Venture to Leave Homes. SEARCH CONTINUED FOR CHONG'’S SLAYER Police Now Confident That _, Assassin Has Escaped to Another City. Peace descended upon Chinatown yesterday. The silence indicated that the edict of Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, chief of police, coupled with a peace treaty between the On Leong and the Hip Sing factions, has~brought to a close the tong war here which cost. the life of Lem Chong, in the Canton Pagoda, 1343 E street northwest, Friday. Maj. Hesse declared Saturday night that if there were any reprisals for the murder of Chong he would ask for the deportation of suspected Chinese as un- desirable aliens. Leaders of the fac- tions here were advised of a treaty efective at noon yesterday. They denied, however, any knowledge of word from New York of the pact. Chinese Again Leave Homes. The inhabitants of Chinatown, on Pennsylvania avenue between Third and Fourth streets northwest, - who since the murder of Chong have re- mained in their establishments terror stricken and appealed for police protec- tion, ventured upon the streets last night, apparently unafraid. Although the difference between the warring tongs has apparently been set- tled to the satisfaction of the leaders, police have not lessened the tensity of the search for the slayer of Chong: Squads of detectives and policemen con- tinued to comb Chinatown - yesterday and last night. Descriptions of the slay: , given *o police by Leon Dieux, a taxicab driver who drove the assassin from the Can- tén Pagoda to Ninth street near Penn- sylvania avenue after the killing, have been broadcast to police of other cities. Police here are confident he left. this city after the murder. Headquarters Detectives Frank Var- ney and H. K. Wilson received informa- tion yesterday that the killer of Chong may be in hiding in Baltimore. They immediately communicated their infor- mation to the Baltimore police. Local leaders of the tongs yesterday assured Headquarters Detective Edward Kelly that ho attem ot would be made to avenge the death of Chonp he said. Suit Expected Over Body. Both tongs have laid claim to Chong’s body and both have’ produced records to show he was affiliated with each. It appears that a suit for possession of the body will be.fought out tomorrow in Equity court. His alleged affiliation with both fac- tions is probably what led to his death, police say. A. D. Wing Moy, manager of the Can- ton Pagoda restaurant, denied yesterday (CONTINUED ON PAGE 16, COLUMN 1.) Alleged Klan Threats Bar Chaplin, Films New York, March 27 (By A.

Hesse declared last night. follow- ing his discovery that two Washington policemen accompanied the five prohi- bition agents who participated in a running gun battle with a band of alleged moonshiners. Howard Ogle, attache~ to the liquor squad of the Fourth precinct, and Pre- cinct Detecti W. F.

Tutt, R. F. Cornette and George Hartman were. the prohibition agents who conducted the raid which resulted in the confiscation of a still of 1,500 gallons capacity, 19,200 gallons of mash and 40 gallons of alleged moonshine. Policemen Burke and Ogle contended last night they were given special per- mission from police headquarters to accompany the raiders in order to “point out” the liquor plant which was said to have covered a _ cleared space in the woods equal in area to the average city block. They denied they participated in the shooting, declaring the revenue agents fired about 15 or 20 shots. Maj. Hesse, however, said last night that he had no previous knowledge of Washington policemen participating in the raid, adding that the police force of Washington has enough to do here without going into other jurisdictions for action. Hicks in Hospital. Hicks was said to be running a high fever: last night at the Alexandria, Va., General hospital, where he was taken by Tutt and Cornetta after being shot in the abdomen.

Kansas City, March 27 (By A. P.).— An alleged plot to raid the women’s State reformatory at Leeds, Mo., to free the wife of John P. Carroll, escaped Federal convict, was revealed here last night by Federal postal inspectors. ‘The plot was recounted in an alleged confession a week ago in New Orleans by Charles M. Thompson, former as- sistant superintendent of the shoe factory at the Leavenworth, Kaus., Federal prison, who assisted Carroll to escape several weeks ago. It was planned, Thompson is alleged to have confessed, to shoot a guard and Mrs. Louise Doehltr, superintendent of the reformatory, if they resisted and make good the escape in a stolen motor car. Mrs. Carroll was convicted with Leavenworth caused the plot for freeing Mrs. Carroll to fall through. Carroll | is still at liberty.

P.).— Cantonese propagaridists, circulating reports that 200,000 Chinese were killed by the American and British bombard- ment at Nanking last week, have stir- red up an ugly antiforeign situation along the Yangtze valley. Although the day passed quietly within the foreign settlements at Shanghai, huge mass meetings were held in the Chinese city bordering the French concession and resolutions were adopted demanding the immediate ret- rocession of the foreign settlements and advocating another general strike. The crowds later demonstrated in the streets, but no incidents were reported from the front line posts. Antiforeign posters have begun to appear in the streets, while students, meeting in the Chapei district scene of last week’s carnage after the capture of Shanghai, have decided to dispatch speakers ‘to harangue street crowds throughout the city. The barriers of the international set- tlement are being strengthened every- where in anticipation of possible trouble. The Chinese are being rigidly excluded from the French concession, where the patrols have been increased and the machine gun defenses heavily manned. Appeals Made to France. One rumor generally circulated was that the General Labor union had de- cided to break down the barriers be- tween the international settlement and Chinese territory by mass attacks along the northern boundary, but this did not materialize today. The feeling is steadily growing in favor of a single military control for the defense of the French concession and international settlement, especially in the former. It is understood that appeals have been made to the French government for further defense measures. Parties of refugees are on the way to Shanghai from many points.

BIG SUM TO AID OTHERS New York, March 27 (By A. P.).—A check for’a round million dollars was shoved across the polished table of a hotel sitting room today into the-hand | of a young Russian socialist, who, in his days of hunger and hardship, had invented an automatic camera to enable the public to photograph itself as simply as it buys its chewing gum, and in much the same way. And the Russian, remembering his socialistic doctrines despite his sudden translation into the capitalistic class, immediately laid plans for sharing his money with the less fortunate. Transfer of the check marked. the entry into the slot machine portrait photograph business of several leaders in the financial world. Among the men represented in the transaction were Henry Morgenthau, former Ambassador to Turkey; James G. Harbord, president of the radio cor- poration of America; John T. Under- wood, president of the Underwood Typewriter Co., and Raymond B. Small, former vice president and general man- ager of the Postum Cereal Co. The syndicate of business men gave the $1,000,000 check to Anatol Josepho, the Russian, for all his rights in a'ma- chine that delivers a strip of eight finished photographs, each 2 by 1% inches long, and all in different poses, eight minutes after the sitter has dropped a quarter in a slot. ’ “I believe” said Mr. Morgenthau after the meeting which closed the deal and marked the formation of Photoma- ton, Inc., a company which will oper- ate a country-wide chain of automatic photographic studios, but in which no stock will be sold, “that through this invention we can make personal pho- tographs available to the masses of this country.

Preston. — Another party of 40 bluejackets from the William B. Preston and a landing party from the British cruiser Emerald followed closely on the heels of the Noa detachment. The William 8B. Preston’s rival in Shanghai tonight per- mitted the first detailed account of the share played by the United States naval forces in the Nanking clash, The story, as gleaned from the participants, was one of restraint, com- bined with duty bravely performed and the showing of force only in the face of the most compelling necessity to save lives. _ It was related how the Preston and Noa suffered fire all day long from the Cantonese ashore, but made no reply, being unwilling to risk the possible slaughter by rioters of the Americans cooped up in the city. Consul J. K. Davis, who finally escaped from the city after harrowing adventures, with- held a request for the ship’s barrage until the death of the Socony ‘hill party was imminent, rather than risk a bombardment which would provoke re- prisals against other Americans still at the University of Nanking, far distant from the warships’ help. — The story left no doubt that Ameri- can blue jackets had participated fully in Thursday’s landing, as well as fir- ing the first shots in the preceding bombardment.

Additional American forces were landed at Shanghai yesterday to aid in protecting the international settlement from threatened mob outbreaks. Growing acuteness of the situa- tion at Shanghai, place of refuge for Americans and others fleeing from the interior, appeared as a possible complication in plans for the evacuation.

— oT ORDERED 10 CHINA «, Detachment to Assemble at Quantico Instead of in Philadelphia. # REVIVED, SIXTH TO TAKE PLANES AND ARTILLERY , Other Contingents on Move to Join Regiment at San Diego Base. Eighty-six marines stationed in Washington who were selected to leave . here this morning to join the famous Sixth regiment, revived as a fighting « unit for service in China, received a 24-hour stay yesterday, when unex- % pected orders from the Navy Depart- ” ment told them to assemble at Quan- : tico instead of Philadelphia. Part of the regiment has been or- dered to mobilize at the Virginia base, to entrain Tuesday for San Diego, a lif., as part of the 1,560 who will sail immediately for the Orient. Quantico yesterday began to speed up when the order to mobilize was re- ceived, Motor cars and other personal belongings too bulky to be stuffed into knapsacks were for sale at the buyer's own price. Leathernecks who have sweethearts were busy saying good-by or pleading with their officers for a _ chance to pay last-minute calls. Planes Tested for Service. Overhead thgre was a steady drone as six planes were being put through tests before being packed up for ship- ment to San Diego. The planes will join. a detachment on the west coast and be sent to Shanghai with about 100 aviators and machinists. Eighty-three men and three officers were selected from Washington Satur- day for Oriental service. Seventy were picked at the marine barracks and thirteen were ordered from the navy yard. Until they go to Quantico they are in charge of First Lieuts. Howard B. Enyart, Edward McCallaway and Andre S. Cherlonnier. In addition to the mobilization at Quantico, the activity is being dupli- cated at other bases. At Parris Island, 5S. C., a detachment also is being organized to entrain direct from San Diego, while in Philadelphia marines from twelve other bases are assembling for the trip West. Transport Leaves Nicaragua. The transport Henderson is under full steam from Nicaragua to San Diego to take on the 1,560 marines. It is expected sail April 4 with the fighting force ‘and arrive at Shanghai about three weeks later, swelling the total landing force of the Americans to 4,200. The famous Sixth, dear to the hearts of marine historians for its part in the world war, will be organized with in- fantry, artillery and aviation units as a result of the orders. In France the Sixth fought in the trenches at Verdun, smashed through at Chateau Thierry, battled man for man at Belleau Wood and Soissons, and played an important part in the Meuse-Argonne offensive and. Cham- pagne attack. It did not lay down its guns until the bells started ringing in Paris at 11 o’clock the morning of No- vember 11, 1918, celebrating the armis- tice, Mobilized at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, March 27 (By A. P.).— Presenting a sight reminiscent of the war-time days of 1917, two detachments of marines arrived here today to re- create the old Sixth regiment for serv- ice in China. They came from Iona Island, N. Y., and New London, Conn. In full march- ing equipment, even to bayonets and side-arms, the “Devil Dogs” were lined up in the railroad station and marched to waiting trucks that conveyed them to the Philadelphia navy yard, where they reported to Col. Harold C. Shyder, commander of marines at this naval base, who will lead the regiment in the Far East. 117 Ordered from Brooklyn. New York, March 27 (By A.

Hicks last night declared he was shot by a member of the raiding party and that he could identify the man who shot hjm. Shortly after the shooting, Tutt and Cornette declared they did not par- ticipate in the gun battle in which nearly 80 shots were fired. Ogle and Burke declared they did not fire a shot. Ford, Shaw and Hartman, ac- cording to the two policemen, had their guns out, ready for action, Ogle and Burke say the prohibition men fired at least 15 or 20 shots at the alleged moonshiners. So far, none of the prohibition men will admit they fired any shots. However, it is expected this angle of the shooting will be solved when Chief Hesse completes his investigation. After listening to the many versions of the gun battle and raid, reporters last night were told Hicks was shot by his own men. Hicks, however, de- clared his buddies in camp were. un- armed at the time of the raid and fled to the woods as soon as the pro- hibition agents started firing on their entry in the camp. Tried to Block Path. Detective Burke last night related that as the agents came upon the moonshiners’ camp a band of four or five men attempted to block the path of the three automobiles in which he, Ogle and the five prohibition agents were riding. A few moments later, Burke sald, the moonshiners opened fire on them. However, the agents reached the camp and were running toward the large storehouse, where the mash was kept, when a withering fire was opened .on them by four or five other men, who came out of the storehouse. Burke said he kept close to Ford and “Big Jim” Shaw, who had their guns out, ready to protect themselves. Burke said several of the prohibition agents returned the fire of the moon- shiners, but that Hicks was shot down by his own men when he got in their line of fire as they fled toward the dense woods in the rear of the camp. The detective declared Hicks was picked up by the agents, placed in the automobile driven by Tutt, who, with Cornette, took the wounded man to the Alexandria hospital. The agents then proceeded to search for the other moonshiners who es- caped. They later returned to the camp and confiscated the still, mash and al- leged liquor. It is likely that Roy A. Haynes, newly appointed acting prohibition czar for the United States, will be presented with the facts concerning the shooting today by local prohibition officials. GROSNER’S 1825 F sT.

Ask Us About the — Men's ENSEMBLES ATTENDED BY 2.200 Dr. Woolley — Cynicism on Disillusionment Fol- lowing Freedom. MRS. COOLIDGE REPLIES AS KEY IS PRESENTED Amplifiers Carry Addresses to Throng Crowded Out of Auditorium. — Pleasure seeking, indulgence and cyn- ical tendencies of today are products of disillusionment which followed the first fervor of woman's new freedom, Dr. Mary E. Woolley, president of Mount ‘Holyoke college, yesterday told 2,200 per- sons at dedication exercises for the new Young Women’s Christian Associa- tion building at Seventeenth and K streets northwest. Contrasting the self-reliant girl of today with the carefully shielded young women of 50 years ago, Dr. Woolley de- clared “the clock is not going to turn back.” Woman’s larger freedom, she said, is bought with a price. The phase of exhilaration has passed to a large extent and given place to disillusion- ment, she said. “This disillusionment,” she. contin- ued, “naturally leads in the case. of the more superficial to an extrava- gance in pleasure-seeking and pleas- ure-indulgence; in the case of the more thoughtful, to a mood of cyni- cism. I am generalizing—you realize that—there are exceptions, many of them, but that this two-fold exper- lence is a tendency of the day in which we live, I think no thoughtful observer can deny.” Mrs. Calvin Coolidge attended the services and following the: formal ded- ication was presented the key to the building by Mrs. Thomas Edwin Brown, president of the board of directors. Replying to the brief presentation speech, Mrs. Coolidge said she accepted the key, not on her own behalf, but in the name of the young women of Washington, of the netion and of the world. Crowded to Doors. The building was crowded to its doors. As the auditorium, with a seat- ing capacity of 500, soon was filled, the overflow was accommodated in adjoin- ing rooms and in the cafeteria and cor- ridors of the first floor, where the pro- ceedings were conveyed through ampli- fiers. The exercises opened at 4 o’clock with a violin prelude by, Miss Ivalee Newell, followed with singing by a choir of 50 voices. Following responsive reading, led by Dr. W. S. Abernethy, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church, Mrs. Brown conducted the dedication. Mrs: Brown received the key from Mrs. Fred E. Wright, chairman of the building committee, before making the presentation to Mrs. Coolidge. The prayer of dedication was given by Dr. Charles Wood, of the Church of the Covenant. Following Dr. Woolley’s ad- dress the services. were concluded with benediction by Dr. Abernethy. A basket of flowers was ‘sent from the White House by Mrs. Coolidge and was placed in the auditorium. On leaving Mrs. Coolidge was escorted through a double line of girls, mem- bers of the association, in white unl- form. Dr. Woolley, in her address, empha- sized the influence of religion on the girl of today as a steadying influence and inspiration. Instead of robbing of tarthly interests, she said, religion corrects the perspective and enables youth to see the true scale of values. The value of the new building, she said, lies in its furnishing a home atmosphere, the refining influence of beauty and satisfaction of the natural craving for amusement. “Character by contagion is not a figure of speech,” she said. “It is a reality we have been criminally lax in facing.” ~ RITES FOR G, FRIEDLANDER.

Brown, chief of the bureau of efficiency, re- fused to talk about what had happened. Commissioner Dougherty could not be reached. Taliaferro said the commissioners would meet this morning to receive a final report from the bureau of effi- ciency on the Eldridge-Moller phase of the investigation. It is expected that if the bureau does submit such a re- port it will contain definite recommen- dations for the dismissal of both El- dridge and Moller. Col. Bell said the commissioners had reached a conclusion, but that it would be reviewed at today’s meeting and that nothing concerning its nature would be revealed until then. Brown's remarks left it uncertain whether a réport would be sent to the commissioners today. He said the bu- reau heads would work hard to formu- late their recommendations at the earli- est possible moment, but that the task He would not —— what the recommendations would From other sources it was learned that Moller stood by his former state- ments under oath, first in testimony be- fore the Gibson subcommittee and later in an affidavit submitted to the bureau of efficiency and transmitted to the commissioners. In both statements he had said that Eldridge knew of all his decisions in connection with orders to the Crouse-Hinds Co, for traffic signals before they were carried into effect and approved them. Eldridge, Too, Stands Ground. Eldridge is said also to have insisted on the truth of his former denials that he knew anything about the purchase of signals. Even when confronted with his signature on the letters dictated by Moller to the Crouse-Hinds Co., he said he had signed them without being cognizant of their significance, having left all such matters to Moller. He even maintained that the postscripts added to certain of the letters in his own handwriting did not constitute evidence that he knew what. the letters were about, it is said. The commissioners have expressed the relevations, that they had no choice but to dismiss Moller from the District service on two counts. He admits that he not only changed the details of traf- fic signal orders, but that he certified to the correctness of.a voucher for the payment of public funds to the Crouse- Hinds Co., when he knew the voucher was incorrect. The second act for which the commissioners feel they can not but dismiss Moller was removal to his home for concealment of official papers containing the evidence against him. Eldridge’s case is different. The com- missioners have not indicated that they do not believe his asseveration of ig- norance of Moller’s activities. They remain silent on that point. But it is said that they feel that there is not justification for a head of a major Aureau of the municipal government permitting himself to be ignorant of a phase of the work of his department that was planned to cost nearly half a million dollars. Voucher Signed by Eldridge. It. is pointed out that Eldridge also, signed the falsely certified voucher. The question is raised whether he was; justified -in so doing unless he had a definite opinion as to whether it wus correct. Attention has been called to the fact that he signed some of the Crouse-Hinds letters, the contents of which indicate that if he did not know what they contained he must have sign- ed them without reading them. Other important letters to the company were signed by Moller. The commissioners believe, it 1s said, that a department head is not justt- fied in permitting a subordinate to sign such important mail and that neither is he justified ‘in signing it himself without understanding: its con- tents. . Perhaps the gravest count against Eldridge, it is said, is the fact that, in the month that has elapsed since the traffic storm broke, he has made no effort to master the technicalities of the pending bids for nearly $100,000 worth of traffic signal apparatus, opened February 14, on which no con- tract has yet been awarded, although he insists on the importance of letting contracts and placing orders before July 1, under the appropriation for the purchases. This has been interpreted, it is said, by the bureau of efficiency and the commissioners as a failure to measure up to the responsibilities of his office. They are said to hold it susceptible of understanding that a department head might delegate the signal work to a subordinate, but that when it was revealed that the subordinate had per- formed improper acts with reference to it they can find no excuse for his not at once making himself acquaint- ed with the work and taking hold of it with a strong hand to right mat-. ters as —— as possible.

™ “BD RANSOM CHSH PAID Daughter of Chattanooga's Education Commissioner Left on a Porch. TELEPHONE MESSAGE WARNS: OF PRESENCE Undergarment of Child Sent to Parents Earlier by Negro Youth. Chattanooga, March 27 (By A. P.).— Virginia Josephine Frazier, 2-yéar-old daughter of Commissioner and Mrs. Pred B. Frazier, kidnaped from their home Wednesday night, was recovered at 10:30 tonight, being left.on the front porch of Dr. James G. Venable, pastor of First Presbyterian church. A telepkone message to Dr. Venable notified him of the baby’s presence. Memvers of the family immediately rushed to the home. The baby was apparently unharmed, The kidnapers had demanded ransom of $3,333 and it is understood that this sum was paid before the baby was de- livered up by the captors. Undershirt Is Produced. Police announced that no arrests had yet been made in connection with the case. The abandonment of the kidnaped child on the Venablé front porch fol- * lowed close on the heels of another de- yelopment in the case tonight, when a thild’s undershirt with a letter ad- dressed to Mrs. Frazier was thrust into ‘he hands of a Western Union mes- engr boy by a negro boy. The negro told the messenger, “Take hese to Mrs. Frazier. She will pay tharges when you get there. I’m in a nurry,” then disappeared into an alley. Demands for ransom for the child’s ‘eturn were made yesterday and Mr. frazier announced that the terms vould be met and no effort would be nade to punish the abductors, provid- sd the child was unhurt.

Park Policeman John Sheedy was burned on the face by chemicals sprayed on the burning building by firemen and was treated at Emergency hospital. The fire was discovered by neigh- bors of the Stewart family who were aroused by the barking of a police dog inside the building. They saw flames shooting from the windows and sum- moned fire apparatus. Firemen found that the nearest fire hydrant was al- most a mile from the house. They fought the blaze with chemicals. The police dog was found dead inside the house after firemen extinguished the flames. Cuba to End Postal Convention, Is Belief Key West, Fla., March 27 (By A.

LOVE MATCH BEGAN | IN AFRICAN JUNGLE American-Born Woman Fled With Lover There; Traveled in Many Countries. Paris, March 27 (By A. P.).—Despair over the ending of a love affair of two years’ standing is believed to have armed the hand of the beautiful young American-born Countess Alice de Janze, who yesterday shot Raymond Vincent de Trafford, son of a wealthy ‘and prominent. English family, and then wounded herself Countess De Janze and De Trafford were in so grave a condition tonight. that no one was permitted to enter their rooms, police and relatives even being excluded. No great hope was held for the lives of either. Police inspectors who visited the hospital several times were told it was impossible for them to see either the countess or De Trafford. They are in the Laroboisiere hospital, in a poor quarter of Paris, where operations were performed for removal of the bullets. Their lives depended, the surgeons said, upon what reaction their youth and strength were able to make against the wounds. Each is 27 years old. The countess was formerly Alice Sil- verthorne, of Chicago, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Silverthorne, of Buffalo, N. Y., and a iiece of Mrs. Francis E.. May, of Chicago, who is a cousin of J. Ogden Armour. The count has frequently visited the United States, engaging in. motorcycle racing at Indianapolis. They were married at Chicago in September, 1921. De Trafford is the youngest son of Sir Humphrey Francis de Trafford, well Known in British sporting circles, and was .formerly a lieutenant in the noted Coldstream guards, now on duty in China. Met on African Trip. The countess seemed devoted to her husband until about two years ago, when he took her on a hunting and ex- ploring trip to Kenya colony, in British East Africa. There she met young De Trafford, who had just finished his Cambridge course after serving in the army in the world war. The count’s prolonged absences on his hunting excursions threw the countess and the young Englishman into each other’s company, and what at first seemed a mild flirtation de- veloped, friends say, into real attach- ment. Finally the count returned from one of his trips to find his wife and De Trafford gone. He returned to Paris within a few weeks, but made no ef- fort to see the countess. He then went back to Kenya. Later he started di- vorce proceedirigs, asking for the cus- tody of their son and daughter. The countess and De Trafford lived together in Paris and London, traveled extensively and went to Africa at the end of last year. They returned to Paris six weeks ago, De ‘Trafford’s ardor began showing signs of cooling under his family’s dis- approval and he went: to London, leav- ing the countess in Paris. She stayed at an apartment which her mother-in- law, the Dqwager Countess de Janze, placed at her disposal. Lived in Retirement. For the last two weeks the countess had lived in a most retired fashion, served only by a cook and chamber- maid. Then on Friday De Trafford came over from London. The pair spent part of the evening together and the coun- tess returned to her apartment alone. When she arose on Saturday, her maid noted that she was extremely agitated, her face betraying deep emo- tion. De Trafford called for her at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, and she ac- companied him to the railway station in a taxicab. It is - thought that dur- ing the ride he broke the news to her that his family had insisted upon the ending of the liaison. As he leaned out of the train window to kiss her and say farewell she drew a revolver from | her handbag and fired twice, the first bullet entering her lover's breast and the second penetrating her abdomen. De Trafford had just time to pull the alarm signal as the train started RR A IRS ————— — — — — Goldheim 1409 H SinEer — as Gap Gio cl rh Waelk sethaten sh — | Will Rogers Says, Butler in China, Parties Will End Special'to The Washington Post.

Then he fell through the door of the compartment onto the station platform. The countess sank to the platform, her German police dog standing over her, warding off ‘would-be helpers until he was finally overcome by the police. “It was she who fired the shot,” De Trafford murmured as he was picked up “Yes, L “shot, ”" the countess ejacu- lated, and then lost consciousness. BOY, CLAWED BY BEAR, MAY LOSE HIS SIGHT Seized by Caged Animal, One Eye Is Torn Out and Other Is Badly. Cut. San Francisco, March 27 (By A. P.).— Percy Hays, 17, of Stockton, Oalif., probably will, lose the sight of both eyes as a result of being clawed by a bear. Hays, with three other youths, .vis- ited the bear pits at Golden Gate park today. While feeding sugar cubes to the animals one of the cubes fell be- tween the cage and guard rails out- side. Disregarding warning signs, young Hays climbed over the rails to retrieve the sugar. One of the bears reached through the bars, - encircled Hays with one. paw, holding him against the bars, and with the other forepaw clawed the boy’s face, shoulders and arms.

Shoumatoff, secretary- treasurer of the Sikorsky Manufactur- ing Co., in an announcement of plans toda ay. Capt. Fonck will assume personal su- pervision of construction of two planes at the Colle ege Point ee of the Si- korsky Manufacturing ration. One plane is to be used in the flight and the other held as a spare. They are identical and ar’ modeled after the ill- fated S-35, which was destroyed by fire with loss of two lives on Capt. Fonck’s first attempt. They, too, will bear the designation 8-35. The new planes will be ready for fac- tory test flights by the beginning of June. Immediately after they will be turned over to-Capt. Konck, who will select his own crew and make all ar- rangements. Lessons learned from the fate of the first 8-35 led the Stkorsky engineers and Capt. Fonck to equip the planes with two motors, instead of three, to cut down weight. As before, Capt. Fonck will be a con- testant for the Raymond Orteig prize of $25,000 for the aviator first making the trip. Byrd Is Not to Fly For $25,000 Award New York, March 27 (By A.

P.)— The Pennsylvania railroad in 1926 han- dled the greatest freight traffic in its history, according to a compilation of the -year’s business announced by the company tonight. “There were 28,706,042 separate indi- vidual shipments of freight, embracing all forms of commodities and manufac- tured articles,” said the statement. “‘The freight trains moved a total distance of 57,979,483 miles and the loaded car movement was equivalent to hauling one car a distance of 1,702,403,796 miles. Approximately 97 per cent of the total tonnage was represented by carload traffic. Passenger business was slightly larger | . than in 1925. Expenses increased $3,- 292,098.69, the total for 1926 having been $71,226,914.

INTRIGUES, HE SAYS, __ STIRRING UP TROUBLES Red Hopes Pinned on Ending Chinese Relations With the Europeans. (Special Cable Dispatch.) Peking, March 27.—Declaring un- Ainching war against the sovietizing of China and virtually asking for foreign armed aid to drive out the Russian in- triguers, Gen. Chang Tso-lin, the Man- ehurian war lord, in an interview this afternoon ‘with foreign correspondents, upon his own initiative, stated he was enthusiastically “for the safety of for- eign life and property.” 1 hold myself personally responsible wherever my troops control, but for the ridding of China of the soviet activities I must await my conference with the ministers of the powers,” he continued, asserting that Kaifeng, capital of Ho- nan province, already has been recov- ered and that his armies are marching east for a junction with the Shantung troops, now concentrating at Hauchow after which heavily reinforced columns will cross the Yangtze river for the recovery of Nanking and eventually Shangnhal. ‘ Gen, Chang’s call for foreign aid came after receipt of definite news that the genuine soviet flag of the hammer and sickle was raised at Shanghai, also Changsha and other cities along the upper Yangtze river, proving, he said, that the mask has been thrown off. Puts Blame on Powers. After assuring of his determination not to return to Mukden, but to re- main until the issue has been decided, Gen. Chang said: “When I arrived at Peking I inform- ed the ministers of the powers of the danger of the mob movement and se- cret violence. It developed as antici- pated. However, the wavering attitude of the powers had much to do with this, especially their direct negotia- tions at Hankow and elsewhere, I wish to assure you that the Chinese are not antiforeign, but were egged on by the bolsheviks. With this bolshevism I will fight definitely and emphatically to the end. “Meantime I shall exert myself to the utmost to preserve foreign lives and property. It is clearly to our best mu- tual interests to work hand in hand with the foreigners, and I hope you for- eigners will see fit to follow the same action I take against the red menace, “I agree heartily that the southern desire for treaty revisions differ from their methods. Revisions should fol- low the proper lines of international law, which is not the course of the southerners. My main purpose fs to . bring order for the revisions and not to quit Peking until order’ has been re- stored. “T realize thé difficulty of checking the bolshevik infinences, about which I am now sounding the treaty powers. I have been unable to come to a satis- factory decision pending their replies. “As long as the north is held by my troops there is no need for foreign troops, but I desire your cooperation. I have recently consulted the treaty ministers regarding soviet schemes for the embroilment of China and I expect troubles, especially at Shanghal, in the near future.” (Copyright, 1927, by the Chicago Tribune.)

Ellis the William B. Preston’s men. The Noa’s detachment was first ashore at 4 o’clock, closely followed by the landing party of the William B. Preston and the Emerald. The British force consisted of 100 men. The entire landing party, under the command of a _ Brit- ish officer, made a wide circuit to the city wall, arriving too late to aid the Socony hill refugees, who already had escaped, but returning to the water front in time to assist in the escape of British employes of the post- office who had reached the river. The landing party was ashore for 2 hours and 20 minutes. The William B. Preston brought de- tails of the naval guard which played a heroic part in the rescue of the party in the United States consulate. This guard consisted of twenty bluejackets, nine from the Noa and eleven from the Preston, in command of Ensign W. Phelps, son of Rear Admiral W. W. Phelps, former commander of the Yangtze patrol. Two signalers from the William B. Preston played notable roles in the rescue. They were H. O. Warren and. D. D. Taylor, who maintained com- munication from Socony hill with the warships, semaphoring throughout the Cantonese attack from an éxposed balcony, where they were constantly under heavy fire. Finally, under orders from Consul Davis, they gave the “Begin firing!” signals by flag and rocket, and then stuck to their -sts until all of the party had escaped. “We are leaving now; shoot a little more to the left,” was the final signal given by Warren, who brought up the rear. Others of the William B. Preston's detachment were O. T. Engh, E, R. started down the river convoying the Kungwo aboard which were refugees. Near Chinkiang, which had been cap- turde by the Cantonese at the same time as Nanking, the William B.

A British regiment has been sum- moned to Shanghai from Hongkong and the Japanese are sending the warship Hirado and eight destroyers and have put more than 500 additional men ashore within the barricade. Joint preparations have been made by the French and the settlement guards to meet any mob attack along the boundaries of the French conces- sions and the international area. Refusal of the municipal council to demolish the barricades, Admiral Wil- liams reported, resulted in a threat of another general strike.

ATTACK PREMEDITATED, STATEMENT DECLARES Carried Out by Persons Who Were Familiar With the - Foreign Interests. Shanghai, March 27 (By A. P.).—The foreigners who suffered the Cantonese attack at Nanking, in which one Amer- ican wag killed and ‘four injured, be- lieve it was premeditated and engi- neered by persons familiar with the foreign interests in the city. This is the conclusion of a statement drafted by authorized representatives of 67 Americans, mostly missionaries, who arrived at Shanghai today aboard the American destroyer William B, Preston. “It was obviously under official con- trol and directed against all foreignesy, irrespective of nationality,” the state- ment says. ! The William B, Preston brought as casualties Miss Anna E. Moffet, who was shot twice by Cantonese soldiers, and E,. T. Hobart, manager of the Nanking | branch of the Standard Oil, who suffer- ed a broken ankle in escaping from Socony hill under cover of Thursday's naval bombardment, Both were remov- ed from the Preston to a hospital. Another passenger was Mrs. J. B. Williams, widow of the murdered vice president of Nanking university. Dr. Williams, shot by a looter, was buried by Chinese friends in the Nanking for- eign cemetery just before the last of the Americans left. Men, Women and Children. The refugees on the William. B. Pres- ton-—39 men, 22 women and 6 children— were a saddened group. Their dejection was heightened by the fact that many were still suffering the effects of ptomaine, with which nearly half were stricken aboard the destroyer Noa be- fore they were transferred to the William B. Preston for the trip to Shanghai. Their baggage was of the scantiest and many were entirely. without funds, having-been robbed by the Cantonese. The majority had only the clothes they wore, while some were dressed in Chinese garments, havitg been stripped to their underclothing by the soldier marauders. The most pitiful feature, however, was the seeming broken spiritedness of the majority, who are missionaries who have devoted their lives to China. They are bitterly disappointed. The refugees brought the first con- nected story of what happened in the UNCERTAIN HAVEN; THRONES POUR IN City Crowded, but Foreigners of Shanghai with nearly 500 refugees southern part of Nanking, where more than 120 American missionaries, con- centrated in Nanking university, were cut off from the river for an entire day. Their statement tells the story: Statement is Issued. “The southern (Cantonese) soldiers entered the city by the west, south and east gates and proceeded by degrees |- across the city to Hsia-Kuan (the port section of Nanking), where the north- erners were hastily crossing the river to Pukow. “By 6 o’clock Thursday morning the southern soldiers were entering foreign houses, evidently directed by those knowing Nanking: * “Experiences differed, but the gen- eial method was to push right into the compounds with bayonets fixed, firing as they came, forcing their way into the houses, threatening “he occupants and demanding money, beginning loot- ing, then calling in the populace from the streets, who completed the destruc- tion. Those resisting were shot, also some who did ro‘ resist. “Some soldiers distinguished between Americans and other foreigners, but most said definitely that they were out to kill all foreigners. Where ‘money could not be obtained, in some cases foreigners were bound and led through the streets to places where money could be obtained to secure their release.. Still Are Flocking to Port for Safety. MISSIONARIES’ RECALL IS URGED ON CHURCHES Protection Is Asked at. Many Points Along the Yangtze; Hatred Is Flaming. Shanghai, Monday, March 28 (By A. P.).—-Under the protecting muzzles ot American and British war vessels, an almost complete foreign evacuation of the great Yangtze valley was under way today in the midst of a rising tide of antiforeignism all along the river. From virtually every Yangtze port and from many inland stations the waterways and landways are dotted with groups of foreigners, mostly Amer- icans, fleeing from nationalist. terri- tory to the now uncertain haven of Shanghai, The evacuation is under official supervision and is impelled by the fear of the antiforeign wave now sweeping the Yangtze valley as a reaction of the Nanking bombardment to protect the foreigners on Socony hill. Their Recall Is Urged. Consul General Clarence E. Gauss has asked the Department of State at Washington to advise the home mis- sion boards to bring some of the mis- sionaries home to relieve Shanghal’s refugee congestion, which is growing more acute daily. Ste During the last 48 hours, more than 500 refugees, most of them missionaries, |: have reached Shanghai and have over- crowded the emergency quarters. Today nearly 500 more are expected and beds are being placed in the navy Young Men’s Christian association gymnasium, in churches and schools. ! Five river boats lie fog-bound outside aboard. Scores of foreigners coming from Giangsu and Chekiang are swell- ing the totals, and the tide is only in midfiow, Missionaries who hitherto had refused to leave their posts or, having once withdrawn had returned, are com- ing out with the rest. Oné of the five ships now lying off Shangha!l, the Suiwo, brings 250 refugees, mostly women and children, from Hankow, whence the evacuation was hastened by the attil- tude of labor there. About 100 refugees from Hankow ar- rived Sunday morning aboard the Lungwo, virtually completing the evac- uation of the American women and children there. Approximately 100 American men, however, still remain. Three steamers are bringing approxi- mately 150 refugees from Nanking, while’39 Americans and 31 Britishers embarked on a steamer at Chekiang under the protection of the United States destroyer Paul Jones. The Preble is working along the lower Yangtze, picking up 30 or more Americans at. smaller ports. ae , Propaganda, emanating from Hankow, is demanding revenge for the Nanking incident and is widespread. At Wuhu, where all foreign women and children have been evacuated, antiforeign agi-. tation is rampant. and soldiers are’ mounting guns on a hill overlooking the river for the alleged purpose of obstructing foreign shipping. At Chenkiang, Chinese servants, loyai to their foreign employers, urgently warned them to leave the city. Only five foreign men remain in that city. The Noa Goes to Wuhu. : The Noa, which played so prominent a part in the Nanking incident, has gone to Wuhu where the Stewart also has been ordered from Shanghai. Isabel is now the only United States warship remaining at Nanking. Yangtze travel is growing increasing- ly hazardous and a majority of the refugee ships are being convoyed, by naval vessels. The Stewart, William B. Preston and Preble all were fired on Saturday and Sunday between Shang- hai and Chenkiang, and naval officers report that both ‘sides of the river are now in nationalist hands and that all firing was by nationalist troops. Fearing Nanking repercussions, United States destroyers are taking up stations at Amoy, Swatow and Foochow, while the United States consul at Cheefo has asked for similar protection.

Foreign ships in the river are con- stantly fired upon, and in some in- stances have been seized. Cantonese troops seized the Jardine and Mathe- son Co.’ steamer Kiangwo at Wuhu yesterday for the transportation of 2,000 soldiers down river. The British cruiser Wild Swan, replying to the Kiangwo's distress signals, went alongside. The Cantonese were disarmed and put ashore, and the three senior Chinese officers detained. The Cantonese capture of Nanking from the Shantungese will be cele- brated next Friday with great demon- strations at /Wyhu. It was le today that the Ameri- can sailor who signaled the plight of the foreigners under attack on Socony hill last week, resulting in a barrage trom the British and American war vessels in the Yangtze under cover of which the foreigners escaped, was Big- naler Taylor, attached either to the Noa or the Preston. Gen, Chang Kai-Shek, commander in chief of the Cantonese forces, who at- tended a huge mass meeting in the native city today, yesterday obtained permission to traverse the international settlement, but at 9 o’clock tonight had not made al. appearance. A Chinese naval engagement took place at the mouth of the Yangtze river early this morning. A number of vessels attached to the Shantung fleet, coming. from: Tsingtao, opened a bombardment upon the Woosung forts, and later «ngaged in a spirited fire with ships of the former northern fleet which went over to the southern cause recently, The firing was clearly audible in Shanghai, but the outcome of the battle was not learned. Moscow Accuses America. Moscow, March 27 (By A. P.).—De- Claring that the Nanking bombardment Was a provocative act on the part of English and American imperialists, the executive committee of the communist intemational has issued a call to “all oppressed peoples to unite in protest against the new criminal war in China.” The call asks thet the withdrawal of troops from Chinese territory be de- mianded and that “the murderous char- acter of the new war” be exposed. The Nanking ultimatum and the mili- tary preparations at Shanghal are al- leged to indicate that further “criminal plans” are being prepared. The call declares that England has abandoned the language of diplomacy in the south Yangtze and is speaking in the language of guns. The United States, the call says, heretofore posing as the friend of the National movements, has thrown aside “its rosy exterior and has dis- closed its military leadership in-an affair of mass slaughter and the burning and déspoiling of Chinese towns.” England and America have begun a war on China, the call asserts, and “the falsehood” that troops were sent to pro- tect the foreigners, their wives and fam-~- ilies, now has been exposed. The pur- pose of sending the troops, it was de- clared, was to protect the profits of imperialists and to strangle the revolu- tion. Aid to Rebels Urged. “By all the means at our command,” the call adds, “we must support the Chinese revolutionists.” Pravda, in an editorial, say. that the United States, which was a former hene- factor of China, has been revealed as the wolf in sheep’s clothing. . “Formerly it sent missionaries, Bibles and other religious opium, and now it is sending guns and shells to destroy women and children in Nanking. The tion of Independence is acting as the slaughterer of the Chinese people,” the paper says. = = — — * — * — fy — \ 3 Se | * are ee i , x country of Washington and the Declara- | This ‘Becker’ Ensemble Mail Orders Prepard offers an ideal luggage combination for the woman traveler.

P.).— One fact and much speculation stood out tonight in prospects for the third week of Aaron Sapiro’s $1,000,000 libel suit against Henry Ford. For a fact, Fred L. Black, business manager of the Ford-owned Dearborn Independent, the weekly in which were published articles Sapiro, Jewish at- torney of Chicago, alleged dama ea him personally and handicapped iife work of organizing farmers’ Pen eratives, was on the witness stand when court adjourned, and that was his pos- sible stage on Monday. William Henry Gallagher, counsel for Sapiro, tonight thought he would be through with .Black within an hour tomorrow morning, put Sapiro himself on for an hour, and then call Ford. Plan Long Examination. That outline of rapid progress was pushed well into the realm of specula- tion, however, when it became known that even if Sapiro’s direct testimony consumed only an hour the defense planned a little matter of some five days of cross-examination. William J. Cameron, editor of the Dearborn Independent, was called as the first witness with. the intention of having him on the stand for “a few minutes.” His presence there length- ened to six days, and even then he was dismissed last Friday subject to being recalled. Speculation had it so with Black, despite the obvious efforts of Federal Judge Fred M. Raymond to speed up the trial Friday when he twice assum- ed the interrogation when the oppos- ing attorneys got themselves bogged in a quagmire of legal technicalities. Depends on Questions. “The cross-examination of Sapiro will depend, of course, upon the nature of the questions asked him, rather than the length of time he is on the stand,” said C. B. Longley, chief of the legal staff of the Ford organization, who is assisting James A. Reed, United States senator of Missouri, in the defense of the case. ‘‘Four or five days would be @ good guess.” Another subject for speculation was whether the defense today would move for a mistrial or ask for additional time in which to prepare to defend “a new case,” as presented last week by the alteration of Sapiro’s declaration of 141 separate libels.

New York, March 27 (By A. P.).— Aaron Sapiro, who was here during the week-end adjournment of his $1,000,000 libel suit against Henry Ford, gave three reasons for being in the case, first, because of his interest as an in- dividual; second, in the interests of cooperative marketing, and third, in the interests of the Jewish race. He said he believed that as an indi- vidual he owed it to his four children and his many friends, whom he num- bered among the thousands, to clear himself of the Dearborn Independent's charges. Furthermore, he said, he would be a coward if after ten years of work in cooperative marketing, which he considered “the biggest mdvement in world agriculture,” he should allow the movement to be “paralyzed” and “smothered” by the Independent. His interest as a Jew, he addéd, “was a strong motive.” SCHWAB PREDICTS BIG INDUSTRIAL GROWTH Bethlehem Steel Head Expects Business Expansion Soon Unequaled in History. Chicago, March 27 (By A. P.).—Radil- ating optimism, Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the board of the Beth- lehem Steel Corporation, in Chicago to- day pronounced American business “healthy and sound” and predicted an industrial expansion in the United States during the next few decades un- equaled in the nation’s history. Mr. Schwab, recently returned from Europe, was enroute to California, ac- companied by his wife, “The condition of the steel industry,” he said, “has never\ been better. Most of the plants are operating close to ca- pacity. Prices are not\as satisfactory as they might be, but this is not signifi- cant. I look*for recovery in the near future.” He attributed America's present pros- perity to the “sane conservativeness” of the Coolidge administration and said that conditions in Europe exceed his most sanguine expectations, with con- ‘ditions in England particularly en- couraging. The United States, he said, has noth- ing to fear from a merger of steel com- panies on the continent, although he said he expected keener competition if the merger is effected. 500 Bluejackets Sail For Fleet Off Cuba Norfolk; Va., March 27 (By A. P.).— Carrying 500 enlisted men from the Great Lakes and Hampton Roads naval training stations the naval transport Argonne sailed from Hampton Roads today for Cuban waters, where the men are to be distributed for duty among the ships of the scouting fleet, now holding winter maneuvers in the tropics, One hundred and fifty of the men came here by rail from the Great Lakes station and the other 350 were taken from the Hampton Roads station. De- parture of the bluejackets has noth- ing to do with the situation in China, it was said, the transfer being purely part of the navy routine. — RALPH ode fae Han ' : 43 Rees se 3 oe 2 ee 4 Fy gry Teg i OSEN TEETH, BERLIN DENTIST FINDS, German Savant Holds Har- ‘mony of Soul to Be Best Preventative. MAKES PSYCHIC STUDY (Special Cable Dispatch.) © Berlin, March 27.—Jolts of life and worries loosen teeth and are the real cause for pyorrhea. Keep your soul in smug comfort and harmony and your teeth will be free of the modern plague of pyorrhea, is the discovery of one of Germany's most eminent dentists, Dr. Hans Sachs, of Berlin. Over the wire- less broadcasting station at Koenigs- wusterhausen he is extending advice on harmony of the soul to radio fans * the best preventative against pyor- rhea. He has devoted the last ten years to a study of the influence of psycho- logical factors on teeth. His theory is that pyorrhea develops most easily in teeth affected by tartar. “I have established through a series of tests that under strain of emotion and worries tartar settles on teeth much more rapidly than under normal conditions,” he said. “Another cause for pyorrhea is gnashing of teeth, especially when asleep. Psychoanalysts know that gnashing of teeth is only a reaction of the subconscious mind try- ing to free itself of burdensome im- pressions of daily life. Consequently, here, too, is a psychic cause leading to pyorrhea, “Most pyorrhea patients belong to the depressive type discovered by Freud. Take the depression away and. the pyorrhea will improve. “It may sound foolish to laymen, but there is no doubt that a broken heart may cause pyorrhea and the subsequent loss of teeth. Worries increase tartar and the saliva glands function. ir- regularly, leading to increased deposits of tartar, and a patient gritting his teeth In his sleep subconsciously in the struggle with fate thus loosens his teeth and becomes a victim of pyor- rhea.” (Copyright, 1927, by the Chicago Tribune.) Glass Denies Deals To Pass Banking Bill Denial that there was any trading of votes in the Senate to obtain passage of the McFadden-Pepper branch bank- ing bill is voiced by Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia, former Secretary of the Treasury, in an article entitled “The Battle for the Banking Bill,” in the current number of Nation’s Business. After denouncing the Hull amend- ments (which were finally eliminated), as “vicious” and criticizing Representa- tive L. T. McFadden, of Pennsylvania, for ever assenting to their adoption, Senator Glass attacks the Secretary of the Treasury, the comptroller of the currency and the Federal reserve board for sanctioning the bill with the amendments because they thought it “better to have a bill half bad and half good than no legislation at all.” You don’t have to stand —2 tion costs” when you purchase a — used care —— is — in Post Classified Ads At Primaries of 1 7 States — of Arkansas, Nominated by 220,816 Votes, Elected by 28,168—1,451,577 Pennsylvania Voters Turn Out for Primary and Only 812,187 * for Election. Senatorial contests in 1926 were ac- tually decided in a majority of cases in the primaries, rather than the elections, according to an analysis made public yesterday by Simon Michelet, a Wash- ington attorney and president of the National Get-Out-the-Vote club. The figures assembled by Michelet disclose not only that, many more votera cast | th their ballots in primaries in Southern States than in the elections but the same thing was true in lesser degree in such Republican States as Illinois and Pennsylvania. The primary vote settled the elec- tion in 17 out of 29 States, where nom- inations were made by the direct pri- mary, according to Michelet. The primary vote exceeded the general elec- tion vote by 40 per cent in nine Re- publican States and by 140 per cent in eight Democratic States. The nine Republican States were California, Illinois, Iowa, North Da- kota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin. The total vote for Republican senatorial candi- dates in these nine States was 4,741,930 in the primaries, against 3,369,178 votes for Republican nominees in November. The eight Democratic States were Ala- bama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Oklahoma and South Carolina. The aggregate primary vote for senator in the eight States was two and one-half times the total gen- eral election vote for senator, “Among the a settling of —* power of the primary in settl atorial contests,” said Michelet : ° following are interesting: Senator Car- of Arkansas, was nominated in ) primary by 220,816 votes and elected in November by a political gesture of 28,168 votes i: "s Democratic primary re- nominating Senator George brought out 190,190 voters—of whom only 47,366 returned to the polls in Novem- ber. In Pennsylvania 1,451,577 voters cast their ballots for Republican sen- atorial candidates in y, against 822,187 for the Republican nominee in November. The May Republican vote was larger than the November by 629,- 000, or 75 per cent. “In Tilinois the primary vote for Republican candidates for senator was 1,146,798, against 842,273 in Novem- ber-——a loss of 300,000, “The Iowa — contest between Brookhart and Cummins polled nearly 100,000 votes more than the Repub- lican vote for senator in November.

More than. 2,000 persons, boyhood neighbors of the flier, stood about the cemetery as the coffin, draped with a flag carried by Capt. Woolsey’s grand- father in the civil war, was lowered into the grave. A detail of former soldiers and sailors in uniform, members of a local Ameri- can Legion post, acted as guard of honor, Lieuts, Carl F. Green and Robert G. Breen, air service companions of the: dead aviator of many flights, flew from Dayton, Ohio, to take part in the serv- ice but were forced down by a snow- storm in a field 15 miles south of here. They were hurried overland to this village, where,. with Lieut. Ivan G. Moorman, who accompanied the body from New York, they represented the War Department. Capt.

A meeting of the joint committee on the national oratoriéal contest, spdén- sored by the colored Elks, was addressed yesterday at Morning Star lodge head- uarters by Judge W. C. Hueston of Gary, Ind., commissioner of education for the grand lodge. He said o tions have been formed in 36 States where contestants will be selected to enter one of six sectional contests, from which the winners will be sent here to te in the finals. School authorities in all parts of the country have arranged interscholastic contests. This matter, it is understood, will come before the board of education at ite next meeting. High school stu- dents who enter the competition will be required to read and study the Con- stitution, especially the ‘enirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. pr tests during the annual tional week, April 10 to 16, which will be explained by committees visiting col- ored churches Yand high schools, public and private, before that time. Sectional contests will be held early in May, to be followed soon thereafter by the national contest, Any bona fide secondary school pupil under the age of 19 years on February 28, 1927, is eligible. Contestants will discuss one of seven rang aged “The Censtitution and-Slav- .’ “The Constitution and Citizen- 8 ”" “The Relation of the Book, ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin,’ to the Constitution,” “Harriet Beecher Stowe and the Consti- tution,” “Frederick Douglass and the Constitution,” “Lincoln and the Con- stitution,” “The Constitution and the United States” and “The Constitution.” Oratorical rather than literary fea- tures of the competition will be em- phasized, judges not being required to pass on the written essay. The first prize award will be $500; the second, $200; the third, $125; the fourth, $100; the fifth, $75, and the sixth, $50. In addition, each of the six contestants ‘ will be awarded an annual $250 schol- arship for higher educational purposes. There were 39 scholarships granted by the Elks’ education commission last year, 23 students being engaged in col- legiate work now under this benefit. Commissioner Hueston said yesterday that all plans are in readiness for the national contest here except the place of assembly. There is no auditorium, he said, controlled by colored citizens, adequate for the national contest. There are more than 15,000 members, he stated, of colored Elk lodges and temples in Washington and vicinity, and frequently in recent years on the same night, in several auditoriums, at memorial services, the gross attendance has exceeded 10,000. This difficulty is expected to be overcome and an an- nouncement of the date of the contest made soon, Arrangements have been completed to broadcast the six sectional contests over a radius of 1,000 miles each. The na- tional contest may also be broadcast, the commissioner stated. The whole program is in charge of a board of edu- cation consisting of J. Finley Wilson, George E. Bates, W. C.

The United States would commit a fatal blunder if it should permit itself to be drawn into hostilities with the Chinese in an attempt to dispossess them from property or territory claimed by foreign nations. Notwithstanding the attacks upon Americans at Nanking, and not- withstanding any attacks that may be made at Shanghai or elsewhere by un- identified mobs or soldiers, the United States is not at war with China. This country does not claim any Chinese ter- ritory, and it is not trying to gain any preferential right or influence.

The statement is* made that the Can- tonese are dominated by communists, and it is suggested that the United States, for the sake of combatting cofhmunism, should oppose the Cantonese. But the suggestion is without merit, and if adopted would be dangerous. The rela- tions between the Chinese and the Rus- sian communists are not clearly revealed, but in any event they are matters that pertain to China, and not to the United States. This nation did not quarrel with Russia because of communism, and ‘it would have no quarrel with China if that country should adopt communism. It is not the duty of the United States to tell Russia or China what kind of political systems they shall adopt. Much as the United States would regret to see China fall under the control of communists, Americans would still cherish friendly feelings for the Chinese people; as they do for the Russian people. In each case Americans would hope that true prin- ciples of liberty, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, weuld finally triumph over the heresies of communism. BAUMES LAWS. Immediately preceding adjournment a local citizens’ association forwarded a resolution to both houses of Congress asking that a law similar to the so-called Baumes laws of New York State be enacted for the District of Co- lumbia. Such laws are designed to give the authorities a whip hand in criminal control. Outstanding among them is one which makes it obligatory for a judge to sentence to life im- prisonment a criminal convicted of a felony for the fourth time. Naturally, assured life- time imprisonment has made the habitual law- breaker wary of conducting his affairs in New York State. Consequently he has gone else- where to ply his trade. Early this month the Baumes crime commis- sion rendered a report to the State legislature calling attention to the marked decrease in crime in the State, particularly in New York city, subsequent to the enactment of the origi- nal Baumes laws. About the same time the Jewelers Security alliance issued.a statement to the effect that jewelers’ robberies in 1926, as compared with 1925, in New York de- creased some 50 per cent. Commenting on the Baumes laws, to which credit for the decrease in robberies was given, the alliance said, in part: “Since the taws went into effect crime has decreased and underworld characters are reported as saying that criminals prefer to carry on their profession in States where pun- ishment is less severe and not quite so swift.” It was inevitable that other States should have watched the New York experiment and should have enacted similar legislation. Sev- eral days ago Gov. Paulen of Kansas signed a bill making it mandatory for judges within the State to impose a life sentence on persons convicted a third time of felony charges, and making a second conviction of felony punish- able by a sentence double the one received for the first conviction. The New Jersey legisla- ture also has passed two laws permitting im- position of life imprisonment upon habitual ‘criminals, one permitting such action upon} fourth conviction of crime involving the use or carrying of weapons, the other upon fourth conviction of any crime. The measures lack only the governor’s signature to become law. seems certain that they will be adopted in some form by every State. Such statutes have proved that they are a deterrent of crime. FOREIGN TRADE. Increase of imports and decrease of exports, in value, which took place in 1926, were ac- companied by a number of important changes in the geographical distribution of trade. A larger part of American export trade went to South America and Oceania in 1926 than ever before. Shipments to Europe, for the first time, amounted to less than one-half the total, while imports from Europe were a smaller proportion of the total than in any. previous years save 1916 and 1920, when imports were interrupted by war and postwar conditions. Europe continues to take a greater share higher purchasing power. However, its pro- portion has been declining for more than 30 years. Exports to Europe were 79 per cent of the total in 1891, and only 48 per cent in 1926. This decrease may be accounted for in part by the rapid change in the United States from an agricultural to an industrial nation. Exports to other countries relatively increased, the largest gain being in Asia. Finished manu- factures furnished the larger portion of this increase. Doubtless the large private American loans to Europe and the consequent recovery of its agriculture and industries account for much of the decline in the purchases of European countries. On the other hand, purchases of American manufactured and semimanufac- tured commodities in the less industrially 1e- veloped countries of Asia and Oesani⸗ in- creased rapidly. Imports from all countries, except ——— were larger in 192 6 than in 1925. The largest proportionate increas* was from Asia, South Anieriea and Australia.

The result of ayy tg increased in 1926 over 1925, it the volume of dutiable imports increased in 1926 over 1925. — —— BOBOLINK MAY RETURN. Now that Bob-o’-the-link with his cheery greeting has all but disappeared from the meadows’ of the North, he is to be protected by the. Department of Agriculture and is to be regarded hereafter as any eaten "= bird. Before the Potomac marshes were — through the operations of the river and harbor engineers, thousands of these cheerful little fellows congregated every fall on the “flats” of the river and the Eastern branch, and at daylight on September 16, which was the be- ginning of the open season, gunners gathered in scores and for weeks the birds were slaugh- tered by the hundred. Bobolink changes his coat when he gets ready to start for the South. His yellow feath- ers disappear and he becomes the reed bird by the time he reaches thé Susquehanna. Under that name he had a market value in Balti- more and Washington, ranging from 50 cents to $1.50 a dozen. When Congress enacted the migratory bird law in accord with the treaty between the United States and Great Britain, it was supposed that “‘Bob” would come in for his share of the protection. But, owing to the charges made against him by the rice growers of the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida, where, under the name of “rice-bird’’ he was said to raid the rice fields of those States, the biolog- ical survey removed the protection of the law from the- poor little chap. One of the foremost friends of the little warbler is W. T. Hornaday, who created the Washington zoo and is now. in charge of that. at the Bronx. Hornaday has been fighting the fight of the bobolink ever since the Depart- ment of Agriculture removed its protection. At last that department has answered the appeal of bird lovers, with the-sresult thaé it is-no longer lawful to shoot bobolinks, reed birds or rice-birds in the District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware or Mary- land. But he is still in danger in the Caro- linas, Georgia and Louisiana, where he may de shot between August 16 and November 15 if he visits the rice fields of those States, pro- vided the owner of the fields can convince the authorities that he is seriously injuring the crops. Bob is a prolific bird, and with even the small measure of protection vouchsafed to him by Mr. Jardine’s scientists he may be able to repopulate the Northern meadows, where. the children have: been listening. in.vain for his song, “Bobolink, bobolink, what do you think, what do you think?” = KISSES SHORTEN LIFE. Students of the department of psychology at Western State college have discovered that a kiss of the ordinary garden variety shortens human life three minutes. To support the discovery they point out that a ‘survey in” genetic psychology showed that a kiss caused such palpitation of the “heart that the extra beats were equivalent to three minutes of normal operation. Therefore 480 kisses in- dulged in by any individual will cut short his life span one full day, and 3,360 kisses will bring death just one week nearer. Cupid will be very much upset by this news. What now is to become of romantic love- making? Will the amorous swain feel that the candle is worth the flame? Will he put a stop to all show of affection because of the knowl- edge that it would sap away many of the precious minutes he expects to spend here on earth? Or will the seductive charm of the fair one overbalance the primary urge to pro- long life? ‘ Consider the married man who is a victim (for victim it now appears to be) of the habit of kissing his wife good-by in the morning and A conserva- tive estimate shows that he shortens his life by three minutes not less than 600 times a year. What sort of an insurance risk is he? These are only ordimary beings, engaged in the ordinary things of life. Pity them all, of course, keeping in mind that others have a far greater cross to bear. What chance, for in- stance, has a leading man in the movies? THE POPULATION OF FRANCE. The barriers to previously practically un- limited immigration, erected by the United States since the close of the great war, have produced some startling results, as well as some not wholly unexpected reactions. One of the most interesting of the products of the restrictive legislation adopted and enforced by this country. in that matter is its effect on the population of France. The war left a def- icit in France of some two and a half millions of people, and yet the task of reconstruction had to be carried on, with its increasing de- mands for more and ever more man power. ‘ The immediate result was an enormous influx of workers from other countries into French territory, who were warmly welcomed because they were so badly needed. Then, when the value of’the franc in exchange fell so sensa- tionally, and gave an extraordinary stimulus to all branches of French industry, to enable them to meet. the huge demands coming for French goods from all countries of high ex- change, more workers were needed, ‘and they. duly arrived. Most of these foreigners would have made. their way to the United States but for the restrictions imposed on the entry of aliens, so that it is in a great measure true* that the putting up of the bars here proved | to be the salvation of France.

Praise for Dr. Ballou. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: At last signs of a better day are dawning. Hopes are arising that a time may come again when life in Washington will return to the delight, comfort, satisfaction and ease of the prewar period. The first indication of the return of this much-to-be-desired state of affairs is the action of Dr. Ballou, as reported in your columns of March 23, making the principals responsible for the cleaning of the schools. In the course of this report Dr. Ballou is quoted as saying, “Since the war there has been a general let-down in the efficiency of the janitors. There was a time when our janitors were 100 per cent interested in keeping their build- ings clean. But now we have employed persons whose interests fall below that standard.” I have had a joyous feeling ever since reading this article, for I feel confident that the heads of other bu- reaus will soon be taking stock of their employes and follow the example set by Dr. Ballou, and so gradually efficiency and smooth running of the government functions will be restored to the prewar standard. Congratulations to Dr. Ballou for his keen diagnosis and his courage to apply the correct treatment. GEO. H. HEITMULLER, M. D. “Everything Except Christ.” To the Editor of The Post—Sir: The papers réport Dr. Abernethy as saying in the Lenten services that we are not a‘ Christian nation, and that men go to church but show little interest in religion... Alas, that is true, but the reverend doctor should ‘have also told his. congregation that one of the main causes of this lack of interest in re- ligion lies at the door of the’ clergy. They, the clergy, in many cases dis- play as little interést in religion as do — the laitys Once clergymen were preach- ers, were teachers, preaching the gose- pel of Christ, teaching what He taught, thereby carrying out the commission He gave His disciples. What are they now? .They have deteriorated into mere lecturers, platform talkers, talk- ing in the pulpit on almost every topic except Christ. Sermon after sermon 1s preached without even the merest mén- tion of Christ, or His teachings, oF of man’s duty toward God. If we had no other source of infor- mation than the “9 utterances of the clergy we would not know there is sin in the world, wrongs to be righted, duties’ to be performed. The churches have been turned into clubhouses. There was a time when the music at dghurch services was regarded as an act -of' worship. How is it-now? Gener- ally it is of an operatic cast, and the more runs; the more slides, the more jumps up and jumps down it contains the greater the delight of the choir.

CLAY ARMSTRONG 1233 10th St..N.W. save 42! wow Frank-a-lin 7483 BY FEMINISTS IN ITALY Fascist Women’s Organiza- tion Bars Flappers and the “Tom-Boy” Girls. HAS 140,000 MEMBERS Rome, March 2’ (By A. P.).—Teach- ing the science and art of cradle rocking is the principal function of the feminine fascist organization which within three years has mustered 140,000 members. Flappers and tom- boys are barred from this “army of mothers” ‘whose members are taught what to do with their hands when babies wail instead of what to do with their feet when saxophones wail, “Some of us are or will be mothers of children of our own,” -Signora Eliza Majer Rizzioli, leader of the women fascists, told the Associated Press, “but all of us must always be mothers to.all of Italy’s children, pro- tecting them with a skill in which nat- ural knack blends with scientific effi- ciency.” The Fascist women’s organization is divided into 1,400 groups with a total membership of about 80,000 women and 60,000 girls. Each group is charged with providing the women of its dis- trict with ample means of education for motherhood and the care of babies: Local ambulance and dispensary serv- ices are in the hands of these women, who also conduct social work among minors of both sexes as well as crimi- nals in prisons and persons on parole. They periodically visit homes and schools, examining children with a view to conserving their health. The need for this work is considered most urgent, because Italy has the highest propor- tional birth rate in Europe and with it an extremely high infant mortality rate.

WILL USE SCHOLARSHIPS A student exchange plan, whereby each educational institution in the United States under Catholic super- vision will be asked to make provision for at least two Russian students dur- ing the next. academic year, was an- nounced yesterday by the Rev. Edmund A. Walsh, president of the new Catho- lic Near East Welfare association and — president of Georgetown univers- y. ? This will be accomplished through scholarships covering the usual ex- penses incident to a full course, either in the academic departments or the professional schools. The Catholic Near East Welfare association is spon- soring the movement to provide higher education for the younger victims of the Russian revolution. The association has made an appeal ‘to Catholic educators to join in enlist- ing support o American students in Catholic schools by enrolling them as members of the association.

Of all the Savoy operas, “‘Iolanthe” is perhaps least known in this country. Certainly, “Pinafore” and “Patience,” and “Pirates of Penzance” are more fa- miliar to American theatergoers. Just why this bit of delightful satire and whimsy and all that go to make a Gilbertain holiday and a Sullivanian symphony should be neglected is some- thing for the Savoyans to explain. Though stepping into its forty-fifth year, barring a few obscure passages, tre offering is decidely not out of date; nor will it ever be, so long as English humor and parliament remain what they are. The only pity is that Gilbert and Sullivan are not living Americans shooting shafts vf satire, encased in immortal melodies, at a certain con- gressional group housed off and on in what William Rankin, jr., the poet and philosopher, likes to call “The Gas House on the Hill.” Old-timers turned out last night to worship at the shrine of Gilbert and Sullivan, probably the greatest team that ever paired in music and comedy. Winthrop Ames, the producer, in this revival of the old comic opera, seeming- ly, has spared neither expense, nor time, or anything to make a perfect production. There is good casting, and a delightful espirit de corps among principles and chorus that makes for a music festival. A favorite in Washington, J. Hum- bird Duffey, remembered for his many roles with the old) DeWolff Hopper Comic Opera company, at the same theater, is back with-this organization, and scores in a highly important role. Then, there are Lois Bennett, as fair a singer as the eye might meet, and Vera Ross, a contralto par excellence, and Ernest. Lawford, an old-timer in the role of the Lord Chancellor—and, oh, a host of excellent talent, with John Barclay in fine fettle and voice, and Adele Sanderson in the title role; right well sung, too. In all, a prize produc- tion. Lovers of Gilbert and Sullivan, their subtile satire and melodious music, have here the feast of mellowed memories; what with revivals of “Iolanthe” and “Pirates of Penzance,” the one following the other, all during the week. \ —JOHN J. DALY. Interest on checking accounts on daily balances compounded oe Interest on — savings. ac — — Seon —S— net fh cits Lr TTT: | METROPOLITAN | i COLUMBIA The Metropolitan theater presents for the week David W. Griffith’s film ver- sion of Marie Corelli’s modernized “Faust,” titled “The Sorrows of Satan.” In the stellar role is to be seen the suave Adolphe Menjou, supported by the develish imp, Lya de Putti, Ricardo Cortez and winsome Carol Dempster. The story scarcely goes below the surface of life. It has its inception in the soil of all rebellion and regenera- tion of man—the clash of his will against God’s. Geoffrey Tempest, played by Ricardo Cortez, is a struggling young writer. He would sell his soul to succeed— to get money, something editors never heard of a man needing. He and his sweetheart, also struggling across the hall with a typewritter and sullen edi- tors, would get married. This makes good picking for the devil—Adolphe Menjou—especially so, after a bitter condemnation of God’s juatics by her struggling lover. The devil in the true course of things twists Tempest from the side of his affianced. He uses as his bait the temptress, Lya de Putti, as a Russian noblewoman playing the world for its sweets; and a right pretty picture does the contrast of Lya and the Carol make. Menjou is at. the height of his film form in his role. But the break can not last; good overcomes evil in due time. Carol and her sweetheart are reunited, despite their many sorrows—and those of Satan. A brief vitaphone program impresses. Mme. Schumann-Heink lives and breathes before one’s eyes in a group of favorite songs; and Roy Smeck’s guitar and uke sweep the senses en- trancingly. Beethoven’s “Symphony in F,” by the Metropolitan orchestra,. is another feature of the program. | "RIALTO | Tense, with many dramatic moments, with characterizations portrayed with a finished touch, and staged on a pre- tentious and spectacular scale, “Res- urrection” held its capacity audiences spellbound at the performances yes- terday afternoon. Tolstoy’s famous novel, filminized under. the name, opened the second week of its world’s premiere showing at the Rialto Saturday. To briefly outline the story it might be said that it is a series of experiences which tend to prove the correctness of a theory of a philosophical cobbler, that it takes many pegs to round out the sole of a shoe, and likewise it takes many experiences to round out the soul of a man. “Resurrection” contains all the ele- despair and spiritual rebirth. Prince Dmitri loves the ward of his aunt, Katusha Maslova, with all the fire of youth. But the army calls to Dmitri and he leaves. The army environment poisons his soul and when he stops again at his aunts’ Katusha is wait- ing, faithful. But the deception is short-lived. Then follows the “death” until Dmitri, as a member of a jury which condemns Katusha to life at hard labor, finds ..is real self and rises, to follow his first love into Siberia. By this sacrifice he believes he will atone for his neglect of her and the sor- rowing consequences which she suf- fered. But his hope is not realized, for Katusha sacrifices her own love, leav- ing him an inspiration to devote his life to humanity. Rod la Rocque probably has the best role of his career, and there is no criti- first of the youthful peasant girl, and later as the despairing and then re- ve: convict. ———— to the —* a quar- Sg presents a group 0 an songs.

The acting and direction are excellent, showing none of the common offenses against truth that spoil many an am- bitious movie. The self-satisfied hero of the piece, deliciously played by William Haines, is an otherwise likable and nice-look- ing young chap, who comes to the New York Yankees from the bushes and proves that he has some ground for his opinion of himself, at their Southern training camp. The old-time catcher of the Yankees, Pop Munson, tries to be good to the boy, and he has a daughter, played by Sally O’Neill, who finds her- self feeling more than kindness for him. But in the course of the season the young pitcher’s overweening con- ceit reaches such bounds that his team- mates and manager can no longer stomach him. He breaks training and is suspended. “Micky,” the team’s lit- tle mascot, picked up as a waif at the Florida camp, has a big part in the se- ries of incidents that lead to the hero's rueful awakening to his own absurdity. The dramatic climax comes with the final game in a world’s series, when the manager gives Kelly another chance and he wins the game, proving at the same time that he is ready to take orders and be human. Every lover of the national game will be wild about this picture. The extra comedy film is called “Howdy, Duke,” with some rough-and- tumble stuff that is cleverer than most of the kind. There are up-to-date news pictures and an “old-time songfest,” in which the afternoon audience shyly refused to join. | STRAND | The Strand Players score another hit in “Southland” this week at the Strand theater. The show is a musical comedy with fast, snappy music and dancing. Lew Lewis is accountable for much of the applause rendered to such scenes as “The Rehearsal,” “Who's Sick,” “It’s Better to Eat an Apple a Day,” “That’s the Kind of a Wife to Have,” “The Kid and Flirtation.” In these acts were Earl Root, the producer; Irvin B. Hamp, Bud Brewer and Miss Billie La Monte. Grant and Adair also scored a hit with their specialtay danc- ing. As an added attraction, Julias Miko, who toured the Keith circuit, plays the xylophone. Miss Terita Schaeffer sings “Love, Wonderful Love” and does a dance. Musical numbers by the Strand orches- tra, conducted by Arthur Manvell, are a feature of the bill. The screen production, “Husband Hunters,” will continue for the entire week, starring Mae Busch, Mildred Har- ris, Charles Delaney and Walter Heirs. The story deals with the life of chorus girls and their loves. GEORGETOWN CLUBS APPEAR IN CONCERT 700 Persons Hear Glee and Collegian Organizations in Mi-Careme Program. Approximately 700 persons attended the Mi-Careme concert held last night at Georgetown university. The Glee club made its second ap- pearance of the year in the concert and the Georgetown Collegians made their aie Mr. Robbins has this week assembled a bill of varying merit wherewith to appease the appetite of the vaudeville fan who frequents the temples of the two-a-day. The show gets off to a modest start, picks up momentum to- ward intermission, and from that time on it’s really something to write home about. Headlining on the program is a Scotch gentleman, new to American vaudeville, one Mr. Will Fyffe. He brings to Washington an act that, for a single, bids for a place beside the best of our native talent Will Fyffe has a new angle on the Scotch humor that made Sir Harry Lauder famous in the days when his “farewell tours’ were aborning The act, which is de- lineated in two numbers, was received quite noisily and the sad part of the affair is: there wasn’t any more, Cecil Lean and Cleo Mayfield, both variety institutions—vaudavilly speak- ing, are back in town again after an absence of some months, with a clever rollicking act that calls for some of “Their Original Songs” They're just as good as ever—Lean is all laughs and Miss Mayfield continues her cute way of talking. The folks at yesterday's matinee were in no mood to let this twain call quits without a _ struggle. Two encore’ numbers were in order with the song “I Want to Be Happy” leaving space for an horrific encore. The act is nicely staged—with a piano furnishing most of the background for no good reason at all, as the popu- lar song hath it. Maddock’s Bag of Tricks opens the latter half of the program and it brings to the Fifteenth street house a revue of some dimensions. Featured in the tricks are some fourteen excellent dancers, The revue has some feally clever stuff in it in the way of novelty numbers—the chorus backing up most of the offerings in an excellent way. Featured in the offerings are Olga Woods, who does the singing, in which she is assisted by Wally Crisham. The Rotunno brothers add to the merit of the offering in their very good efforts at terpsichore. Harry, Kahne, the mental marvel, who does everything but sing the “Star- Spangled Banner” backwards, is back again with his act, which calls for a variety of calculating and thinking. The act has been seen here before and it is presented in the usual way. Mr. Kahne gets all worked up over it and when he has finished the skit he takes a bow which he has earned. And the rest of the show is a collec- tion of short skits which make the time pass pleasantly. Art Henry and com- pany have a number entitled “A Re- hearsal,” which claimed the favor of the audience. It calls for a little danc- ing and a little comedy—and it goes across nicely. Ameta, the mirror dancer, closes the bill with a novelty number of some merit. Dick Nash and Billy McIntyre occupy the deuce spot with their num- ber, “When Extremes Meet,” and Saw- yer and Eddy, in an aerial novelty, open the bill in the orthodox way. comedy. The Newsreel, Topics of the Day, and usual house numbers, featur- the bill. PALACE ) |e: The second of the four special unit bills arranged at the Palace theater flung its banner to the breeze yester- day afternoon, blazoning in its duce spot of attractions, Tony Christian and his Columbia Recording orchestra— stage—and John Gilbert and Renee Adoree—film—in “The Show.” It is a hard bill to analyze. There’s double justice to be done. That is to say there are those featured in the two parts of the bill who must receive con- sideration and those nct featured who should be. Why “Art” is left off the program is a mystery—perhaps the strengtn of his entertaining ability admits of 1%. Be that as it may, however, despile the excellence of Tony’s orchestra—and it —perhaps the audience is laughing yet ~—who knows—It’s a safe bet on those who ride a Ford, to say the least. More power to “Art.” — As for “The Show,” page the fairies and twine the laurel wreath about the brow of the Barrymore Let Renee2 Adoree sit by while the crowning takes place. For, by and large, and honoring justice with its truthful yheed, though Gilbert has the stellar fole Barrymore renders the stellar part. Thou staresi too much, handsome John. The story is a foreign one cast in an American mold. It has to do with the loves of one “barker” at a sideshow, his partner in a piece and her lover. Gilbert is the “barker,” Renee Adoree, his°adoring support, and Lionel Barry- more the “sinister Greek.” The play gets off center now and then, making it rather difficult to follow, and there is one slush scene that mars rather than strengthens the film. Jack Sidney, the popular melody humorist of Cameo fame, is master of ceremonies. for the week, introducing the various numbers and otherwise as- sisting the public to enjoy itself. Drena Beach, from “way up North,” where they padlock them now and then, is seen in a holdover acrobatic dance number. The usual frills of comedy, music and news events round out the bill. The overture for the week—Tom Gannon ,conducting—is “Harmony Hits of the Hour.” —— — A bill above the average pleased the audiences at the Earle yesterday after- noon. Miss ay Norton, in “A Song for Everybody,” is quite vivacious and sings several songs, accompanied on the * manner- wizard of the harp, plays —5 Miss Billie Regay puts over a petite revue, combining comedy, songs and dancing. “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp” is a clever act in which eight “tramps” of the road attend a hobo convention.

INDEPENDENTS STRONGER, BUREAU FIGURES SHOW Fight Will Start With 85,000,- 000 Tons Stored Up for Emergencies. (By the Associated Press.) A seminational coal strike, due to begin April 1, is now being faced with a fortitude in government and indus- erial iercles that is markedly at vari- ance with the concern shown over the industry's labor convulsions in previous years. Much of the reason for the compara- tive inattention paid to the strike pros- pect is disclosed in columns of statis- tics relating to production of union and nonunion coal mines, which long have been mulled over by government agents and the big coal buyers, but there also is another cause for the ap- parent lack of alarm. It lays in the appearance of a changed policy on the part of the United Mine Workers, the coal union, though that organization and its leader, John L. Lewis, are the same which have repeatedly attracted nation- wide attention in at least partially suc- cessful struggles to maintain wage rates satisfactory to workers. In 1919 and 1922, when the miners downed tools at the call of Lewis and their policy committee, mines normally responsible for producing 65 or 70 per cent of the country’s soft coal ceased functioning. Further, among the 35 per cent of nonunion mines, substan- tial proportions were shut down in sympathy, demonstrating that even nonunion worker~ could be moved to cease work in sympathy with their or- ganized fellows. 353 Per Cent Loss Not Seen. On April 1, when the 1927 strike call becomes effective, it is not probable, Labor Department officials say, that as much as 35 per cent of the normal coal production will be stopped. They believe, furthermore, that even that portion of the industry will begin to restore production soon afterward. Likewise, coal consumers will have on hand something like 80,000,000 tons of coal, stored for emergencies, a quan- tity which is officially estimated to more than make up for any shortage the strike may create. The strike this year will proceed by localized districts. In previous strug- gles, since 1919, the fight has been prosecuted on a national basis, with the union ostensibly the victor in each bit- ter and drawn-out contest, but unable to maintain its position during the years of peace that have followed each strike. Because of circumstances well under- stood in the industry, after each of the national strikes, the unionized coal area has contracted and the nonunion area has expanded. Since 1922 the process has gone on steadily, forced by inexor- able economic considerations. Though President Lewis, -who dom!- nates the union program, has refused ta discuss publicly the prospect he faces, government officials who have met with him are sure the facts they point to account for the changed front the union is showing. POOR INVENTOR GETS | CHECK FOR $1,000,000 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) accomplished in novelties and mer- chandise, Ford in automobiles and the chain store in supplying the necessi- ties and luxuries of life over wide- spread areas.” Josepho, in response, said: “I plan to create a trust fund with half of this money, to be devoted to general charity. The other half I plan to ad- minister in the interests of various in- ventions I consider worthy of develop- ment. The average inventor has a hard life and it is a rare instance for him to reap the rewards of his inventions as I have done. I shall dedicate much of my life and new wealth to help- ing my brother inventors to similar success.” Entirely aside from his million the inventor will probably have little _ financial worries from now on, as be- sides purchasing the rights to his in- vention the directors of the company have retained him as vice president and technical advisor. He was born in Omsk, Siberia, 31 years ago. At 20 he had perfected many improvements in photographic processes, but the financial return was negligible. Poverty and the unstable condition of his homeland seemed to conspire to hinder his work, but always he kept on. During the Russian revo- lution he was interned in Prague, but escaped through Turkey to Siberia. After the war he conducted cheap pho- tography studios in China and Japan, and while there first conceived the possibility of automatic photography. iy Three years ago he arrived in this country with a million-dollar idea, but hardly a cent in his pocket. Six months _ ago the first machines were perfected, ‘and aL experimental studiO was opened | on Broadway. Since then 270,000 per- _ sons have paid $70,000 to photograph themselves in almost two and a quar- ter million poses. “The former Ambassador to Turkey is chairman of the board of the com- . pany, and —2 Small is president.

No decent American girl with any shige in her independence would take penny of it. That's the way Mrs. Cecelia Whitely Yost, who is suing to divorce her husband, Frederick I. Yost, feels about it. Mrs. Yost, who is 23 years old, and is living with her parents, will appear before Referee Newberger in supreme court tomorrow with witnesses to testi- fy to her 44-year-old husband's alleged infidelity. She will tell Referee Newberger that all she asks is a divorce and the right to assume her maiden name. She is perfectly capable of earning her own living and wouldn't take $1 from Yost if he had $1,000,000. “I don’t believe in alimony when there are no children to be taken care of,” said Mrs. Yost today. “When a woman breaks her matrimonial bonds she ought to go to work and support herself.” BRITONS WILL EVAGUATE ONLY WHEN NECESOARY Minister Leaves Recalling of Subjects in China to Local Officials. AMERICANS WIN PRAISE London, March 27 (By A. P.).— Refugees of all nationalities arriving in Shanghai from Nanking, says Reut- ers, pay tribute to the bravery of the Americans, who played heroic roles in aiding the foreigners to escape from Socony Hill. The British harbor master at Nan- king, named Hubert, was among those killed. He was 52 years old and had been in China 23 years. Only recently he had engaged passage in April for himself and his family to spend six months in England. His wife a refugec in Shanghal, collapsed when informed of his death. Two French Jesuit priests, Fathers Wanara and Dugout, were among the foreigners killed. The bodies of the British dead, Dr. Smith and Able Sea- man John Knox, have been removed to the cruiser Dauntless. Dr. Smith was deliberately killed by the Cantonese, while Knox was struck by a stray rifle bullet. British business interests show that, although the situations at Nanking and Shanghai are relieved owing to the presence of armed forces, the foreign communities in other places are in a precarious position. The British Minister at Peking has not followed the example of the Ameri- can Minister in advising all his country- men to take refuge at Shanghai, but has left the matter of evacuation to the discretion of local British officials. The Minister has instructed his subordl- nates to avoid the injury to Britsh interests necessarily entailed in evacua- tion unless absolutely necessary. The position of the British subjects in Changsha, Hunan province, is stated to be difficult, the local Chinese com- missioner for foreign affairs having made demands upon the British con- sul arising out of a trivial incident between two British bluejackets and a Chinese farmer. An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Shanghai today said that reports from refugees from Nanking indicated that about twelve foreigners were killed there in last week’s disturbances and that several others, whose.fate were unknown, still were missing. Other advices from Nanking have ace counted for the deaths of six foreigners, these being one American, Dr. J. E Williams, vice president of Nanking university; three Britishers, including a sailor, and two French Jesuit priests. JAPANESE WARSHIPS ARE SENT TO CHINA Officials, However, Minimize the Seriousness of Crisis ‘Along Yangtze. (Special Cable Dispatch.) Tokyo, March 27.—In response to the franitc appeals for more protection reaching the Japanese government from many parts of China, at a conference the foreign office and naval officials decided to rush eight additional de- stroyers to Shanghai, a portion of the first squadron of cruisers to Tsingtao, Shantung, China, and also prepare more landing parties for additional dispatch should they be needed. Offic are inclined to minimize the seriousness 7 the situation, refusing to discuss the matter by pleading the ab- sence of direct information, but pri- vate and press telegrams from China are commencing to alarm the people, who insist on adequate protection for the nationals. _. While endeavoring in every way to avoid clashing with the Chinese, Japan will display its power by dispatching 4 battle’cruisers, 7 cruisers, 19 destroy- ers and 7 submarines to cruise the North China coast, and 2 battle cruis- érs, 8 cruisers, 23 destroyers and 12 submarines to cruise south China waters, ostensibly for maneuvers.

S. Steel Operating Near Capacity; Car Loadings at Million Mark. AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY CONTINUES SPEEDING UP Oil Trade Somewhat Disturb- ed; Gain in Bank Clearings; Crops Favorable. New York, March 27 (By the Asso- clated Press.)—Spring business contin- ved its gradual expansion last week despite pessimistic predictions in some quarters. The most significant devel- opments were the announcement that the United States Steel Corporation was operating close to 100 per cent of ca- pacity at fairly stabilized prices, and the crossing of the million mark by freight car loadings two months earlier than usual. Although the increase in freight was largely attributable to heavy shipments of bituminous in anticipation of a mine strike on April 1, substantial gains in. other commodities, notably mer- chandise, also indicated a favorable trend. Demand for steel was stimulated by speeding up of the motor car tndustry and heavier operations of manufactur- ers of machinery, such as tractors and threshing equipment. Favorable weath- er gave impetus to the automobile trade and led to optimistic predictions. Executives of General Motors expect that the first quarter earnings of the corporation will exceed all records. Expect Durant Mergers. The motor industry was intensely in- terested by the announcement:by W. C. Durant that henceforth he would de- vote all his time to the automobile business. While his plans were not made known, Wall street believed they would hinge upon mergers and a start in that direction was made during the week when the Durant Motor Co. of New Jersey made an offer to acquire the common stock of the Durant Motor Co. of Michigan by a share-for- share trade of the former’s 6 per cent preferred stock for the latter’s common. Disturbed conditions continued to prevail in the oil trade, with overpro- ductino still a sizable factor. The rapid accumulation of surplus crude has led to recommendations by officials of dominant oil companies that new drilling be curtailed until stocks are de- pleted, even though newly produced oil is cheaper than that held in storage. Steps taken by the Pan-American Pe- troleum & Transport Co. toward acquisition of the Creole syndicate an? American Maracaibo Co. were in- tepreted as a movement toward strengthening the pan-American posi- tion in South America, with a view to transferring its major foreign activities from Mexico, where curtailed produc- tion has resulted from the oil land leg- islation there. The Creole and Mara- caibo concerns have huge concessions from the government of Venezuela. Progress in Retail Trade. While the weather had a winterish tinge in many sections during the week, retail trade showed further progress. Bank clearings from the prin- cipal financial centers gained around 7 per cent over the corresponding week of last year, although receding about 10 per cent from the total of the week before. Crop reports generally were favor- able, the census bureau’s report on ginnings showing 1,000,000 bales under the December estimate, was offset large- ly by developments in China, which, may result in a falling off of exports to that important cotton consuming country. Winter wheat is reported in excellent condition, and spring planting of corn is moving forward along the southern fringe of the corn belt. Wholesale prices showed a softening tendency, although scattered increases were reported in cotton goods, hides and a few other divisions. Slight im- provement was shown by the textile trade, although considerable irregu- larity still obtains. While the shutting down of a few woolen mills was report- ed, some of the larger plants were un- der increasing operation. Diggins, Boxer, Killed By Falling on Glass Los Angeles, Calif., March 27 (By A. P.).—-Officers investigating the death of Eddie Diggins, pugilist and film stunt man, in a Hollywood cafe early yester- day morning, today expressed the be- lief that the boxer had been accident- ally killed in a brawl. Diggins at first was reported to have been stabbed to death. Police advanced the theory that Dig- gins fell upon a pile of broken glass which littered the floor after chande- liers had been knocked from the ceil- ing. A sliver of glass is believed to have pierced his heart. The district attorney’s office ordered the release of Charles Meehan, motion picture worker, who had been held on suspicion. , |'Fyphoid Is Spreading In Montreal; 3 Die ‘Montreal, March 27 (By A: P. =) ——The typhoid epidemic continued to os in this city over the week-end. ths reported — os.

P.).—The committee appointed to investigate the feasibility of trading in wool futures on the New York Cotton Exchange plans to hold hearings in Boston, Philadel- phia and other wool centers, and will seek the cooperation of the Department of Agriculture. Leon B. Lowenstein, chairman of tke committee, said a careful study of the situation shows a thoroughly practical plan could be worked out to give consumers of wool the same protection that cotton buyers now have through the hedging facilities provided by the exchange. The rate of general business activity has continued its gradual advance dur- ing the last few weeks, while in several basic industries the expansion has been very pronounced, says the Guaranty Trust Co. of New York. “These de- velopments have strengthened confi- dence in the fundamental soundness of present conditions and in the out- look for a continuance of active busi- ness for the next few months.” The Corn Exchange Bank, now the largest.

LARGE OUTPUT AWAITED New York, March 27 (By the Asso- ciated Press.)—Two dominating factors stood out as causes of the steady ad- vance of prices in the bond market last week. First, of course, the upward movement, while the fact that the un- precedented volume of new offerings since the first of the year at last has been virtually digested, cleared away much of the competition to the listed market and eliminated a strong brake on demand for listed securities. High- grade investments commanded the ma- jor interest throughout the week, and the highest prices in several years were attained by a number of gilt-edged railway and industrial mortgages. So well have dealers’ shelves been cleared of the new bonds that many of them were reported to be calling for more new issues. Consequently inter- est in the market again swung around to contemplation of offerings in pros- pect. Forthcoming State and municipal) issues are attracting cnsiderable atten- tion in Wall street, among them a num- ber of formidable proportions. The eight-year improvement program which Detroit is planning has gathered its share of attention. The Michigan city contemplates the construction of new transit systems, street improve- ments and municipal byildings which in the eight years of projected work will entail expenditures totaling nearly $400,000,000, much of which will be ob- tained through public financing. Chicago likewise is considering a more immediate improvement program, and the proposition of issuing about $21,000,000 in bonds. The Ohio legislature has before it a project of submitting to the voters an issue of $25,000,000 to defray the State’s share in the elimination of railway grade. crossings. Missourl law makers have in the making a constitutional amendment to enable the State to bor- row some $120,000,000 to complete its hard .roads program. New York’s remarkable ascendency over London as a bond market created some comment during the week. New issues here since the first of the year have totaled well over $1,000,000,000, while offerings in the British capital in the first two months amounted to less than £21,000,000, or roughly $104,- 000,000. London floated only two so- called major issues, or loans, of $20,- 000,000 or upward, while New York floated nineteen such issues in the same period. Of the more than a billion in new issues in New York since January 1, nearly a fourth has represented new railroad financing. The total to date, approximately $221,000,000, is already within $90,000,000 or so of the total for the year 1926. The principal rail- way issue of the past week was the $30,000,000 refunding and first mortgage 44%, per cent bonds for the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. This issue, list- ed for trading immediately on the stock exchange, scored a fractional premium over the offering price of 97. New issues during the week virtually doubled the total of the week before, slightly more than $120,000,000 against a little less than $60,000,000. The total of new bonds in the correspondig week of last year was around $95,000,000. Berntsen, 73, Former Danish Premier, Dies Pee pee — Denmark, March 27 (By P.).—Klaus Berntsen, 73 years old, —— liberal premier, died today. He was a member of parliament 40 years. He retired last November. Klaus Berntsen long played a promi- nent part in Danish political life, hold- in; various portfolios in different cabi- nets over a period of many years.

They consider the- feat the more remarkable because if was ac- complished at home, on the course where Bobby grew up in golf. With a medal card of 281, Jones won the tournament trophy. eight strokes ahead of the lowest profession- als, Farrell and Golden, who each took 289. Al Watrous, Grand Rapids pro- fessional, who was runner-up to Jones at St. Anne’s during the English invasion last year, fin- ished for third money with a 291, _ closely pressed by Leo Diegel, Chi- ~ ¢ago, who went around in two above par 70 for the last 18 holes to take a 292. Under the rules of the tournament. Ferrell and Golden would have divided first and second money of $4,000 and $1,750, but they obtained permission to, play another 18 holes, the winner to receive the golden prize, the loser to take second money. After Jones’ great round of 66 on Friday, even the greatest professionals in the field, which included the major- ity..of the country’s tournament crashing golfers, conceded there was small chance of anyone else winning the open title The golden list total- ed $12,000, more money than has been _ offered in any previous tournament Jess Sweetser, British amateur champion, playing in his first compe- tition since he returned ill from England last summer, dropped out of the open event after playing 54 holes and scoring 221, He said he was forced to conserve his rebuilt health His playing demonstrated that he is fully recovered and still is a mighty contender. In. an 18-hole best-ball match on last Wednesday, Sweetser, pair- ed with Cruickshank, played to a low medal of 64 in a tilt with Jones and Walter Hagen. They had a record 29 on the turn. Many of the professionals who play- ed in the open here were leaving to- night for Pinehurst, N. C., where they will enter the North and South open tournament which begins next Thurs- day. Bobby Cruickshank goes to de- fend the title which he won last year. ARROWS WIN PAIR.

Ball Players Lait c on Buse InF lorida Real Estate Game Pegler Finds Major League Landowners Un- able to Cash In on Realty—The Wonder Is That Babe Ruth Failed to Invest. By WESTBROOK PEGLER. EW YORK, March 27.—A number of prominent financiers of the baseball business appear to have been left on base when the Florida real estate game was called on account of overcast skies. . Strange as it mey seem, there is no report that Babe Ruth, always regarded as a natural- born customer, was among them. fhe Babe’s escape may have been due to a chivalrous principle.of the real estate dealers that it would not be sporting to take such easy money, or it may have been that the springtime usually found Ruth without any money werth taking. Most of the thousand-odd ball players of major and high-minor league rank- ing who trained in Florida in the two springs of the boom were invited, even pestered, to invest and hypothetical fortunes. were being realized so easily that many did become customers. With such canny financiers as Col. Jake Rup- pert, John J. McGraw and Milier H. Huggins setting a reassuring example, it was no wonder that ball players bought real estate, too. The dotted line was as much a part of Florida life as the color | line, and some of the most illus- trious names in the big league box scores were inscribed thereon. C..sain. players of the Washington team, with two world’s series purses idling” in the bank, were among the in- vestors. Freddie Lindstrom, the Giants’ young third baseman, bought some frontage. Jack Fournier became a landholder pro tem, and Bill Doak, then associated with, the Brooklyn Dodgers, became so .enthusiastic that he turned down a large raise in pay to retire from baseball and become not a mere customer but a realtor, with cus- tomers of his own. This spring Doak and Rube Mar- quard,. another realtor, have been ap- plicants for reemployment in the base- ball business. The Rube, in fact, was so eager that he walked in cold and fapped his ancient elbow for McGraw’s team in a game against Washington in Tampa. And McGraw was so dubious about the pitchers he had that he en- couraged Marquard to accompany the club to St. Augustine and give further demonstrations. So many of the fortunes that (CONTINUED ON PAGE 13, COLUMN 2.) HELEN WILLS HEADS CUP TEAM List of U. S. Women to Invade England Announced.

HE Palace tossers, by virtue of their 33-27 victory over the Cleve- land Rosenblums last night at the. Arcadia, still continue in the fignt for second place honors. Fort Wayne has two games to play while Washing- ton winds up its season here tonight with Cleveland. The Marshall crew got off to a 6- point lead at the start and despite some fine work by Husta and Hickey visiting forwards, managed to stay out front throughout the game. The bril- Mant goal tossing of “Jazz’’ Chizmadia, who seems to improve with every game, kept the locals in the van during the early stages. At half time the count stood 15 to 10 in favor of Palace. “Rusty” Saunders came through in the pinch with a trio of sen- sational long .loopers in the final period, when the. Rosenblums ser- lously threatened to overtake ile Capital outfit. Carl Klinzing, late ¢ of the Pittsburgh team of the National league, repluced Husta and soon made his presence felt with a pair of spectacular tosses from midcourt, to bring his’ side .to within a point of the home team’s lead. Ripley and Chizmadia added a pair of -two- pointers for good measure.

English Channel Star and Score of Others Interested. AKE GEORGE, N. Y., March 27 (By A. P.).—A-score of long distance natators have indicated their in- tention to enter the proposed 32-mile swim through Lake George next July for’ a $10,000 prize, although the Amer- ican Legion committee, in charge, have not completed basic arrangements. A letter comprising substantially a challenge. to George Young, winner of the Catalina island swim, to meet George Michel.and Omer Perrault, in- ternationally known swimmers, in the Lake George contest;. has been received from their manager, Armand Vincent, of Montreal. Michel, a Parisian, holds the record for the English channel swim, and won the international swim in the Seine. Perrault has been long distance swimming champion of Canada since 1919, holds-the Daily Sketch gold medal, and was third in the Seine. race. Vincent’s letter said these two swimmers could give Young the “licking of his life” if he enters the Lake George race. Tottie Moore Schoemmel, originator of the “grease bathing suit” and the Zittesfil twins, 14-year-old. girls who sWa:a: from Yonkers to the Battery last summer, are also interested in entering the Lake George. marathon, according to their manager, George H. Maines, of New. York city. The fact that Lake George is fed al- most entirely by gigantic underground springs means that the swim will be difficult -because the temperature will vary greatly.

If “Bucky” O'Neill goes to the keystone sack, Duphlin will take his regular position in. center field, but if Glenn starts at second base,’ O'Neill .will. be sent to the mid- dle garden. The other infield. and out- field positions are settled with Gra- ham at first, Donovan at short, York at third, McLean in left field. and Odlum in right. Philadelphia is expected to use Young, Martin, Lightfoot and Lean- ness inthe infield, with its veteran outfield trio of Harron, Greenberg and Wolham back again.

Besides several practice skirmishes with the freshmen, the Georgetown squad has a. big week of. hitting prac- tice and should have a keen eye against Hochheiser’s slants.

Buddy Weak on Twin Killings; Move to Bolster Defense. Special to The Washington Post. S T. AUGUSTINE,’ March 27—Man- ager Stanley Harris tossed a figur- ative bombshell into the ranks of the Washington baseball club and its supporters today with the. announce- ment that hereafter Buddy Myer will play third base for the Nationals in place of Ossie Bluege and the latter. will be shifted to shortstop, where it ‘had been thought. Myer had clinched him- self a. permanent. position. This re- arrangement of the Washington infield will be permanent; Harris declared. In explanation, he added: “I am willing to go on record right now that. we won't be able’ to win a: pennant with Bluege in any other position but at shortstop.” When the veteran Peckinpaugh. was traded to Chicago, Harris was figuring on Myer filling the vacancy, but the youngster’s performances. in the games played to date have convinced him that Buddy will’ not make the grade at this important _ position. Double plays around second. base-make or break a team, as they prevent any number of runs during a season, especially with a man on “hird and one out. It is ii not. completing these twin killings that Myer has fallen down. He c.1 start them, for then it is merely a throw by him to second instead of to first with Harris doing the pivoting, but when the play calls for Myer to cover second and then shoot the ball to first, too many accidents happen. H? can not make a snap throw with any consistent degree of accuracy, and, wh ‘he takes the necessary time to get set, the runner too often beats the peg to the doorway. ‘Although third -base is. ‘new to Myer, he may develop into a good man there. ‘He ‘is a capable fielder, and at the.hot corner has more time to make the throw -to first. His greatest fielding weakness is on bails on his right,side, and he can overcome ‘this by. hugging the foul dine a little closer. | | (CONTINUED ON PAGE 13, COLUMN: 2. «e@Stwemeetbtryernasn xe tee — — — he bout 60. * — ro al pS —A we * — SaaS — — — 4 tae ,{Lisenbee Goes Route After Club Spots Him to Lead.

Ir Winfrey Stable Crack 2-Year-Olds Are Shipped From New Orleans. Horses Wintered Here Profited by Early Open Weather. ADIANT in the variegated livery of a spring early by some three or four weeks, Prince George’s park awaits the fanfare of the trumpet with which the Southern Maryland Agricul- tural association will launch the season of major racing for 1927, on Friday, at Bowie. The oldest southern Marylander can’t recall another spring so forward. Horse- men at Prince George’s park who re- call several seasons when days programs have had to be canceled in April on account of snowstorms that almost had the dimensions of blizzards, are saying it can’t possibly last. But, whether there is to be snow in April or not, major racing will begin next Friday and the Southern Mary- land Agricultural association’s spring participation in it will continue through the 15th. The call for the first race will find some 800 thoroughbreds at Bowle and a couple of hundred others at Benning, some 10 miles away in the District of Columbia, horse for horse, readier than the beginning of any other season in Bowie memory has found any other bunch, Carey Winfrey, who brought the most successful 3-year-old of New Orleans winter racing to Bowie in Sport Hallahan, along with the vet- erans Tester, Frigate and Toyland, does not expect Sport Hallahan to set the green wood of Prince weorges county afire this season. He admits that Sport Hallahan, which is a son of Sir John Johnson— Henrietta Thorpe, was better than any of his Southern rivals, but fears the competition was not keen. None of the stables strong in promising 3-year-old stuff showed their best. They had them South merely for training. Winfrey thinks much better of youngsters he did not start at New Or- leans, but will have. under colors pres- ently at Prince Georges park and Havre de Grace two sons of Sweep and one son of Friar Rock, particularly. A Sweer colt from Flying Star, a daugh- ter of Star Sheet that cost him $2,500 at Saratoga last summer, has the de- velopment of a 3-year-old. One from Pliant, a daughter of The Commoner—Flexible, is a finer type and smaller, but well developed, too. Both these coli: are rich bays. Both were bred bh; Philip Chinn. The Pliant colt cost $3,000. * Winfrey is never-satisfied unless he is pottering with some cripple. In addition to Frigate, which start- ed only once at New Orleans, he has taken up old Top Sergeant. Top Sergeant wintered at William Garth’s farm in Virginia after lay- ing off all of last season. He appears to be sound, and Win- frey believes he will stand, although he may require a conditioning race or s0 to win. Winfrey ought to win a purse or so with Toyland,.a son of Peter Pan—Lucrative, that won in Maryland last spring. Toyland has been away from racing nearly a year now and looks splendid. In appearance he sug- gests old Top Sergeant, except that he is smaller. JEFFERSON PARK ENTRIES.

Every baseball fan remembers the famous bull signs, advertising a popular brand of smoking tobacco, that were in every major and minor league outfield in the country a few years ago, The reward to the lucky batter hit- ting the “bull” with a fly ball was a check for $50,00 and a large carton of cigarettes. But their signs caused so much collusion among players that |. they were finally done away with. To receive the reward for hitting the “bull” sign. it was necessary for the official scorer to send an affidavit to the tobacco company stating he saw the ball hit the sign. But occasionally, if the scorer was nearsighted or the sign was deep in the outfield or if the sun was shining if his eyes he had to depend upon the testimony of the outfielder on the opposing club to substantiate the hit- ter’s claims. ; Often outfielders would let balls hit the bull, that they could have caught, but just as often they robbed hitters of $50 by catching long files . against the sign. Many balls that hit these signs on 104 | the first bounce were declared natural hits by the opposing outfielder’s testi- mony and the hitter and outfielder 136 | split the fifty. In these days of commissioners, law- experts in baseball, they would have probably investigated the bull instead of shooting it. As it was, the old bull signs finally died a 09 | natural death: (Copyright, 1927, Publishers Syndicate.) | TRACKMEN’S S JEFFERSON PARK.

By WILLIE 0GG, New England Professional and Massa- chusetts Open Champion. The cut putt is played by. taking the putter back outside the line of play, and at the point of hitting the ball the putter, instead of traveling toward the line of play, is traveling toward the left foot, This produces a right-hand spin, because the putter head has becn drawn ‘across the face of the ball. The overspin putt is played by hit- ting the ball above center, the putter traveling in a straight line with tk> ob- ject aimed at. This is the method used by most good putters and it is the best way to putt on rough greens, the over- spin keeping the ball from hopping. Shamrock A. C.

The team is the senior aggregation representing Busi- ness Night High school. Playing unofficially in the circuit, the Washington Field Hockey Club runs in second place with three victories, two losses and one match unplayed. while the Basketeers hold third place with an opportunity of tieing the Hockey Club if they win their two last matches. Although leading for intermedi- ate league honors with six wins, one loss and one game to play, the Strayer Seniors face a possibility of finding themselves tied for top honors with the Hyattsville Com- pany F sextet in the event that the Legion wins its last two games. The. Eaglets, of Business High night school, follow in third place, but may. edge Company F out for second honors in the event that the Maryland |: team loses its two games.

HE Arrows clinched the Washinge ton senior league championship last night when they decisively dé feated the Roses, 29 to 14, in the play- off, preliminary to the Palace-Cleveland tilt at the Arcadia. Sensational shooting by “Bum” En- right, together with the sterling defen- sive work of the winners, was chiefly responsible for the 16 to 9 lead the Arrow tossers held at half-time. The flashy Enright showed a keen eye in looping a quartet of tosses from long range. The Roses made threatening gestures during the later stages of the game, but Pet Nee more than kept the Arrows safely in the lead with his brilliant dribbling and goal tossing. Falcone dis- played a sterling defensive game, hold- ing Bill Banta to a lone foul counter. The winners were presented with the George P.

Yhis year the figure may reach 10,000 ag activities are constantly expanding, and the vaule of these colts has. been laced at $3,744,000. LONGS END WARFARE WITH PEACE TREATY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) shat Chong ever had an interest in the lece, as was reported. He said the stockholders, besides himself, include Moy Hui Hong, Moy Yui Shenck, Moy Kung Shun and Lim Young, uncle of Chong. Chong, according to Wing Moy, was - hired as a waiter about five years ago and was well liked by owners of the establishment. New York, March 27 (By A. P.).— Peace between the warring Chinese ‘ tongs—the Hip Sings and the On Le- ongs—was formally proclaimed today. The —* was signed with due ceremony at the, Hotel Pennsylvania after a lengthy; secret conference between high officers of the two secret societies. Chinatown heard the news soon afterward and rejoiced. For the last few days the Orientals had lived in dread, fearing murderous outbursts which cost lives in several cities throughout the country. The peace flags—white, bordered with red—fioated over the rival headquarters MS are the bulletin board at Pell and t streets. Hundreds of Chinese, un- mindful of the chilling rain, ventured into the narrow, crooked streets for the first time in days to read the news. Policemen were still kept on duty for emergencies, but their services hone not needed. te fin gece Lahey said he’ had ‘ ve * eS a ee ; : PE. ce oy : ** bi Sat * — —* * iil a wu _—" a a ° oe oC: y ‘ —* Ans wers to questions asked on Magazine Page in “Now Ill Ask One” feature. 1.

With all the modern inventioris people do not love each other .more or raise better children than they did when the inventions were unknown, the Rev. William S. Abernethy declared last night in a sermon on “Furnishing the Home,” in Calvary Baptist church, Eighth and H streets northwest. There are signs, however, that the family altar is returning just like the return in styles of furniture of some 25 years ago, he said. The evidences of this renewal of family worship, he said, comes from the most unexpected places. Dr. Abernethy in depicting the fur- nishings of a home by a newly married couple stated that a number of good books should be bought and more eve- nings passed at home reading them. He further said he had nothing to say against the installment plan if the couples did not use it promiscously. Every home should take a newspaper to keep up with the happenings of the day, he said. At least one good maga- zine should be read, thoug” not one dealing with sex, he asserted. SOUTHEAST SPEAKERS TO GIVE CLUB DINNER Playlet to Follow Annual Party Tonight of Community Center Unit.

'‘ H. Houck, former psychiatrist at St. Elizabeths hospital will be extradited from Oregon will be determined today after an inquest into the death of his wife, Mrs. Gladys W, Houck, who disappeared on the nigh§ of.
