The truth of the matter is that war is like getting a jag—there’s a head- ache coming, but while you're on the party you think of sublime things that would never occur to you while sober.

BOLIVIA CONSIDERS PARLEY’S PROPOSAL Attitude of La Paz Delegate Here and Activity of League Stir Fears. By ALBERT W. FOX. American solidarity in the interest of peaceful settlement of disputes on this continent now depends upon the Republic of Bolivia. Paraguay has formally accepted the proffer of good offices by the Pan-American conference which is meeting here. This leaves Bolivia temporarily in the isolated position of being the single American nation out of 21 which Is thinking in terms of war and thereby risking all the consequences which may be expected to flow from the moral force certain to be aligned against her. The prospect of a changed attitude on the part of Bolivia is, however, regarded aS distinctly encouraging despite the somewhat defiant attitude of the Bo- livian delegate in the address he yester- day made to the committee on con- cillation of the conference. Secretary of State Kellogg announced Paraguay’s acceptance of the proffer of good effices last evening. Announcement Made Here, The announcement from the State Department here was as follows: “The Paraguayan Government has telegraphed to the chairman of the in- ternational conference of American states on conciliation and arbitration accepting the offer of good offices tendered by the conference. “The chairman of the conference has also received a telegram from the Bolivian government stating that the matter has been submitted to the president and congress of Bolivia and adding that a decfinite reply will be sent shortly.” The news of Paraguay’s acceptance came after a day of undisguised anxiety in conference circles. Threats Have Been Withheld. It was feared that the border clashes between Bolivian and Paraguayan troops might assume more extensive proportions before the two governments directly concerned fully realized what an outbreak of actual war might mean to the cause of peace and unques- tionably would mean to the two nations involved. There has ‘been a studied effort on the part of the conference here to avoid anything remotely resembling a threat to either Bolivia or Paraguay but it has been frankly stated that if the sparks of war conflagration begin to ignite it will be necessary to see that they are extinguished no matter what obstacles loom to prevent the functioning of the peace machinery operating now from Washington. League Action Is Hindrance, Two obstacles were apparent yester- day when the committee on concilla- tion of the conference held its session. The first was the continued defiant attitude of Bolivia, as expressed by Diez de Medina, the Bolivian delegate, in a speech to the committee. The second was the apparent determina- tion of the League of Nations to in- trude itself into the controversy, de- spite plain intimations that such ac- tion may have a harmful effect on the program which the conference has adopted for the preservation of peace. Secretary of State Kellogg declined yesterday to comment on the league's activities. Various other delegates, however, expressed the fear that the league will not heed the warning to CONTINUED ON PAGE 5. COLUMN 1.

ATTACKS ARE STOPPED La Paz, Dec. 17 (A.P.).—The com- mander of the Bolivian frontier forces has been ordered to halt the army’s advance, and to cease attacks on Para- guayan troops. This information was contained in the reply of the Bolivian Government to the president of the councl) of the League of Nations, an- nounced tonight, but yesterday. under date of Ascuncion, Paraguay, Dec. 17 (A.P.). Paraguayans have rushed to arms by the thousands during the last 24 hours, and many already have left the cap- ital for the north. It was announced officially that of 50,000 volunteers who presented themselves yesterday to mili- tary headquarters, 30,000 were accepted and incorporated into the army as of- icers and soldiers. Three steamers, carrying numerous forces combining both units of the regular army, many civilian volunteers and officers belonging to the military reserves left during the night for an unnamed destination. Many of those who sailed had en- listed at the armories only the preced- ing day. Despite the: lateness of the sailing hour, the marching troops were accompanied to the ships by an enor- mous crowd, cheering enthusiastically. The city today presented an unusual Sight, with war prepaartions in evidence everywhere. Automobiles and trucks rolled rapidly along the streets carrying volunteers to the concentration quar- ters. Great crowds stood in line in front of the war office and the military academy awaiting their turn to be enrolled. Most of the men in the line were accompanied by their mothers, wives or sweethearts. universally maintaining a brave calm. Several military officers who were exiled after a revolt some years ago, returned to the capital today, ready against Bolivia. The minister of war today ordered that all arms jn possession of civillans be immediately turned over to the gov- ernment. A sanitary service was organ- ized during the day, and Dr. Gubetich, one of the foremost physicians of the country. volunteered his services to di- rect a medical corps. Congress has been convoked for ex- traordinary sessions to take measures Made necessary by the international crisis. President Guggiari remained at the government palace until late at night, discusisng the situation with members of the cabinet.

Mr. Wright seemed to enjoy the celebration as a gala day. He greeted the natives who pushed their way through the crowd to shake his hand with the enthusiasm of a long lost friend. If the Kitty Hawk residents had re- garded the Wrights as “fools” a quarter century ago, it was evident that their opinions have been revised. With tears streaming down his face, an elderly man pushed his way through the crowd that had gathered about Mr. Wright soor after the party reached Kitty Hawk. He Snapped the Camera. “I was afraid I’d not remember you but I do now,” the man said. “My name is Daniels. I’m the man who snapped the camera for the picture of your first flight 25 years ago today.” Mr. Wright shook hands enthusiasti- cally and patted him on the shoulder saying, “surely I remember you and am grateful for your help on that day.” It was John L.

At noon tomorrow he takes the oath that makes him city police commis- sioner, a post recently resigned by Joseph A. Warren. Mr. Whalen, whose appointment was announced today, takes a most diffi- cult position at a most difficult time, for the Arnold Rothstein murder mys- tery is still as fresh in the news of the metropolis as when the gambler was fatally shot in a hotel on the night of November 4. Dissatisfaction with the police de- partment’s handling of this case had been expressed by newspapers and by prominent political opponents of Mayor James J. Walker’s administration. The, - resignation of Warren last week has been attributed to the desire for “a change” at this time, although Mr. Warren himself denying that he was withdrawn under fire, announced that he wished to resume his law practice In taking the post Whalen is re- ported to be accepting a $90,000 salary cut.

London, Dec. 17 (N.Y.W.N.S.).—There is much criticism here among the med- ical profession of the king's doctors This is so general and so uniform that it-is interesting, although not hinted at in the London newspapers. The royal physicians represent the elder and more conservative school, and criticism is widely directed against them on the following points: (1) That they did not earlier introduce high- frequency electrical treatment, which, although modern, has been proved highly beneficia) in such cases. (2) That they did not call in a chest Specialist. (3) That they put off the artificial sunlight treatment now be- ing used long after it was called for.

I., Dec. 17 (A.P.).—On the first anniversary of its sinking with a loss of 40 men, the submarine 8-4 was sent to the bottom of Long Island Sound today. and with a gale howlin above them divers went down to he side to test newly developed safeguards against undersea disasters. The submarine was sunk in 55 feet of water. The divers then went below to attach huge chains to four lifting hooks, or “dead eyes,” which had been placed amidship on each side of the hull. Pontoons are to be sunk cogs 2 side the submarine and made fast to these chains. As the air is pumped into them they will lift the submarine to the surface. Where the operations of attachin the pontoons previously has require days, it was hoped the new equipment would make it possible to complete the work in a few hours. Sunk in 17 Minutes. Preparations for the experiment were completed aboard the submarine rescue ship Falcon last night and soon after daylight the main ballast tanks and the engine room of the submarine were flooded by lines and valves controlled from the Falcon, sinking the unoccu- pied craft on an even keel in seventeen minutes. : Divers immediately followed the hulk to the bottom and, working leisurely to permit them time thoroughly tp ob- serve conditions, they attached one chain to a lifting hook in an hour and a half before time out was taken for lunch. They went back down in the afternoon to make the remaining three connections. The hooks have a theoretical lift- ing capacity of 160 tons. The sub- marine weighs less than 100 tons when submerged.

The resolutions also said “some method should be found by which for- eign embassies should be further re- Stricted in the receipt and use of liquors.” The Police Department was commended for “its zeal,” but “we are mindful,” the league pointed out, “of the number of policemen who during | the year have been charged with vhe offense of intoxication.” Mr. Camalier who prosecutes pro- hibition cases for the district attor- ney’s office, offered several sugges- tions, which he claimed would advance enforcement.

The decision of the company to aban- don its present valuation fight before the commission came after a series of conferences between company repre- sentatives and commission officials and after the commission on December 5 ruled that the company would have te elect between the valuation contest pending in court and the new proceed- ing before the commission.

Court Again Acts Against Blackmer Oil Witness Exile Is Cited in Contempt as Move to Seize $100,000. A citation against Harry M. Blackner, former president of the Midwest Re- fining Co. who is now residing in France, was issued by Justice William Hitz in the District Supreme Court yes- terday, giving Blackmer until Febru- ary 25 to reveal cause why he should not be judged in contempt of court for failing to answer a summons to appear as a prosecution witness in the con- spiracy trial of Harry F. Sinclair, New York oll magnate. The procedure was the second of its kind undertaken by Atlee Pomerene, special Government oil counsel, and United States Attorney Leo A. Rover since Sinclair was acquitted of the con- spiracy charge, which gew out of the Teapct Dome oll reserve lease. Pome- rene and Rover requested Justice Hitz to issue the second rule since France has declined to honor the re- quest of this nation for the return of Blackmer. Shortly after the trial, the first rule against Blackmer was issued and $100,000 in liberty bonds were seized by the Government under the provi- sions of the new Walsh act. However no action was taken either by the Government or Blackmer and the time of the rule elapsed while the Gov- ernment was striving to secure Black- mer’s extradition from France on a charge of making a false income tax return. .- Second Hearing Today .

Detroit, Mich., Dec. 17.—Two thou- sand men and women in Wayne County may be sentenced to life imprisonment under the habitual crimina)] act. ac- cording to an estimate made at Lan- sing today by Attorney General Wilbur Bruckner, He believes that this num- ber have been convicted four or more times as violators of the prohibition law and should have been cited in court as habitual criminals. Robert M. Toms, prosecuting at- torney, sald tonight that he asked the police department last’ week for a list of persons subject to court action as naman criminals and was now await- n missioner William P. Rutledge. said he did not know exactly how many criminals there were in the county. “Under the law it is mandatory for the prasecutor to go into court and ask for the imposing of a life sentence. There is no alternative as far as my office is concerned and upon receipt of the list from the police record bureau we will take action along these lines,” Toms said. The conviction of a woman, the mother of ten children, of violating the prohibition law for the fourth time, and the mandatory provision that she must be sentenced to life imprison- te have the law amended in such a way as to make violation of the dry law a misdemeanor rather than a felony. | URUGUAY'S SPIRIT PRAISED BY HOOVER President-elect Says Moral Weight of Nations Not Based on Size. HE HAS ONE MORE STOP Montevideo, Uruguay, Dec. 17 (A.P.). The desire of the United States for Intellectual and spiritual cooperation with other republics of America was emphasized by Herbert Hoover in a speech at a banquet in his honor to- night. President Campisteguy had wel- comed the President-elect to Uruguay on his good-will mission. Mr. Hoover said that Uruguay dem- onstrated that the moral weight of nations is not based on size or num- bers, but on the spirit and character otf a people Uruguay, he said, is thus the exemplar of the profound political truth that national greatness springs from the heights and depths of na- tional soul. “I wish to thank you for the elo- quent expression you have given of your sentiment toward myself and the friendship of the people of Uruguay toward my country,” he began. “I know that these expressions, this hos- pitality and this reception will meet with response in the hearts of the people of the United States. Compared to Neighbors. “Sometimes 1 think relations be- tween nations bear humble compari- son to relations between neighbors in our busy private lives. Crowded with domestic problems, we really know lit- tle of our neighbors; we read in the press sensational accidents; we know the gossip of unworthy members uf their families; we read descriptions of their homes, but we know little of the finer qualities of their home life; their deep affections, their sorrows, their gelf-denials, their courage and their idealism. “So it is with nations, thelr national accomplishments, the flower of thought and the intangibles of national cher- acter and ideals can come only with contact. From these contacts come that respect and friendship, that desire for helpfulness, which must be the true basis of international relations. “I have hoped that I might by this visit symbolize the courtesy call from ene good neighbor to another that might convey respect and esteem and desire for intellectual and_ spiritual ‘ooneration Your excellency has spoken of our common ideals of jus- ice not only tn internationa) relations, but in our systems of government. Justice Is a Science. “Justice is not only an ideal—it Is a | weight | size | ' ' “was first | Rockefeller, jr., | | utmost science. In the contributions of lead- ers of Uruguay to the science of juris- prudence, both in national and in in- 'ternational fields, she has given proofs of great cultivation of mind and at the same time demonstrated that the moral of nations is not based upon or numbers, but upon the spirit and character of the people. “Thus Uruguay is the exemplar of the profound political truth that na- tional greatness springs not primarily from broad areas of imperial posses- sinos, but from the heights and depths of the national soul. More and more you have been coming to the world with your hands full of spiritual and intellectual] gifts. “Mr. President, we are all interested in economic exchanges. They are of the ‘mportance for the preserva- tion and betterment of life.

This banquet ended the official visit of the President-elect to Uruguay. He will board the U. 8. Utah, now anchored off the port, early tomorrow and will sail at noon for Rio Janeiro for his last visit in South ,America. Mr. Hoover expects to reach the United States on January 10 and will remain near Miam! until he goes to Washington for his inauguration. - Before the banquet Mr. Hoover con- ferred with officials of Uruguay, ob- taining additional information about the government and resources of the country and giving frank expression to the desires of the United States for friendly cooperation with ite sister re- publics.

FOREIGNERS FEAR ‘AFGHAN REBELLION @eeesseess Refuge Sought by Diplomats. Sovereigns Remain in Fort. WOMEN’S STATUS CAUSE London, Dec. 17 (United Press).—It was stated authoritatively tonight that. the British and other foreign legations at Kabul, Afghanistan, were in refuge in their respective embassies and lega- tions in an unfortified area near the reported position of attacking: rebels. The safety of the diplomatic staffs depends upon the strength of the gov- ernment or the restraint of the insur- rectionists, it was said. The possibility that the revolution might become antiforeign or anti- Christian was somewhat allayed by the fact that the rebels were said to be incensed more against Russia than any other foreign country, because that government lent airmen to King Ama- nullah. The airmen have caused the greatest number of casualties among the tribesmen. There also was resentment against Turkey due to the fact a Turkish mili- tary mission has aided the federal troops. It was pointed out that the revolting tribesmen always in the past have proved themselves far superior to the Afghan soldiers. New Delhi, India, Dec. 17 (A.P.).— Reports from the frontier state that King Amanullah of Afghanistan and Queen Souriya have taken refuge in a fort, the army having turned against them. While reports of disturbances in the remoter sections of Afghanistan have been reported recently, today’s advices were the first indicating that the dis- affection had spread of Kabul, the cap- ital, a city of about 100,000 population. The trouble at Kabul was attributed to the king’s drastic westernization re- forms and to Queen Souriya’s desire to abolish purdah, or the seclusion of women, No letters have been exchanged be- tween Kabul and India for the last , month, but the telegraph lines are still , working. j Jimmy Deacons, \ certificates of At Jalalabad the Shinwari and Khu- Quan Tribes ceased negotiations with the government and took the field. They captured the Afghan outpost of Kaja and also inflicted casualties on the regulars and irregulars. King Amanullah returning from Europe last summery; introduced a series of westernizing forms. He established a representative form of government, reorganized the laws, established west- erndress, abolished polygamy and gave women equal civil rights with men. These reforms resulted in several movements against him. One move- ment was led by a Moslem saint who _ objected to the compulsory education ' of women. Another was led by the | Shinwari tribesmen, who were angered by an order requiring them to take out nationality, since they ‘acknowledge only nominal allegiance to the king. On December 3, reports }from India said that the Shinwari \movement Was gaining headway and that other tribes had joined in this revolt. Four days later, a dispatch to the London Daily Mail said that the ‘Shinwari had been repulsed and the uprising appeared to have been checked. A dispatch from New Delhi on Decem- ber 1, said that a truce had been ar- ranged between the rebels and the government and that telegraphic com- munication between Kabul and Feshawar, India, had bee restored. Boy, 15, Pleads Guilty To Killing of Teacher Mich.., Stanton, Dec. 17 (A.P.).— 15-year-old confessed Slayer of Miss Flossie Carter, Sheridan.

Difficulty in Obtaining Epoch Making Article Told at Last. Assailed by doubt, and skeptical in the extreme, newspaper editors through- out the United States placed little credence in the story from the North Carolina sand dunes of the first suc- cessful flight of the Wright brothers’ “flying machine.” The Washington Post was one of the few daily papers in the United States which printed the story a quarter of a century ago. On the first page of its issue of De- cember 19, 1903, under the caption, “Soared Like an Eagle,” appeared the story as printed herewith. It was filed by Harry P. Moore, who still serves The Washington Post as its Norfolk, Va., correspondent. It will be noted that Moore qualified his report on the events, as told him by witnesses to the epochal event, saying, “it is reported” and also “it is said.” Use of such phrases dem- onstrates the lack of confidence in “‘fly- ing machine” story of the day. The response of one editor to Moore’s offer to sell the story was: “We do not want any such wild cock and bull story as that.” The story appeared in The Post as follows: SOARED LIKE AN EAGLE Test of Wright Airship a Reported Success OPERATED AGAINST THE WIND Flight Occurred Near Kitty Hawk, N. C.—Machine Said to Have Been Under Perfect Control— Landing Made at Spot Indicated —Reached Altitude of 60 Feet— Sailed Distance of Three Miles. Norfolk, Va., Dec. 18.—It is reported here that a successful trial of a flying machine was made yesterday near Kitty Hawk, N. C., by Wilbur and Orville Wright, of Dayton, Ohio. It is stated that the machine flew for 3 miles in the face of a wind blowing at the recorded velocity of 25 miles an hour and then gracefully descended to earth at a spot selected by the man in the navigator’s car aS a Suitable landing place. The machine has no balloon attachment, but gets its force from _ propellers worked by a small engine. Preparatory to its flight the machine was placed upon a platform near Kitty Hawk.

Washington Post Was One of Few Papers Buying and Printing News. Coinventor on Norfolk Trip for Anniversary Mects Writer Again. Norfolk, Va., Dec., 17 (A.P.).—The man who “scooped” the world on the story of the Wright brothers’ first flight 25 years ago today, now knows why he had difficulties in securing ac- curate information from Kitty Hawk, On that historic day. Harry P. Moore, a 21-year-old re- porter on the Virgialan Pilot, 25 years ago, was the first newspaperman to learn of the Wrights’ filghts, but found few papers willing to print his unbelievable “scoop.” Moore talked with Orville Wright when he arrived in Norfolk late last night and obtained the details which were lacking in the story of report- ing the first flight. “Why didn’t you tell me exactly how far you flew and the other details?” Moore asked Wright. The genial Mr. Wright smiled and said: - “You did have a few of the detatls mixed up in your report, didn’t you?” “Yes, but the story that you had flown successfully was the big thing and that was right,” Moore replied Mr. Wright smiled and nodded his head tin affirmation. “When you called the Coast Station for information flight, the station men turned to me and asked whether they should tell you,” Mr. Wright began. “I told them to tell you nothing, but in thelr en- thusiasm they did give out the story, and made it a bit stronger than it was. I believe they told you we flew miles. “I was afraid that the world which us none too Kindly anyway, receive the story of our filght we were not willing our success until made”, Mr Wright | Guard about our to make public were sald.

London, Dec. 17 (A.P.).—On_ the twenty-fifth anniversary of the first airplane flight 100 men and women, pioneers and leaders in British avia- tion, tonight sat at a banquet table under the historical Wright plane, now hanging in the Science Museum here, and toasted the machine and its in- ventors, Orville and Wilbur Wright. The celebration was held under aus- pices of the Royal Aeronautical Society. Wright had cabled the gathering: “I am on my way to Kitty Hawk to visit the spot on which the first filght was made 25 years ago with the machine around which you are now gathered.” Griffith Brewer, pioneer British avia- tor, gave an account of the work of the Wright brothers and the story of how their plane came to be sent to England. Maj. H. R. Harmon, air at- tache at the United States Embassy, was among the guests. Paris, Dec. 17 (A.P.).—Commemorat- ing the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Wright flight at Kitty Hawk, the Paris chapter of the United States National Aeronautic Association gave a luncheon Fortant, inspector general of French aviation, and Paul Tissonger, a former pupil of the Wright brothers and now a noted aero expert, were guests of honcr. The guests stood a moment in silence in honor of Wilbur Wright's memory and drank a toast to Orville Wright.

As the hose was lowered from the refueling plane, he caught it, pulled it through the opening and turned a vaive, the gasoline pouring into a reception funnel immediately of the hose, at the rate of 5 gallons : minute and running through 4- inch pipes into two 150-gallon tanks Three hundred gallons will be taken aboard next month at each refucling period. Maj. Spatz’s protective cover- ing was to prevent possible burns trom spattering gas and in the comin, test he may also use a gas mask to protect himself should the fumes of high vst plane fuel prove too powerful. Yesterday's experiment showed that there is no particular hazard involved in the transfer of fuel, the greatesi risk being the catching of a hose or rope in one of the plane propellers; but this danger is minimized because the aper- ture through which the hose will pass is 13 feet removed from the nearest propeller. Cots Built Two gas tanks and an oil container similar to those on the refueling plane have been instulled on the endurance ship. A berth has been bullt on top of each tank, while a third cot has bee. constructed over the oll tank The gasoline will be pumped by hand from special fvel tanks into the reg- ular tanks in the wing of the ship. Fechet, but preliminary preparations were held secret until yesterday, .in order to determine the feasibility of the project, and to be assured it would be practicable to carry yesterday's test to a conclusion.

COOLIDGE MAKING FIGHT (United Press.) Opponents of the Kellogg antiwar treaty succedeed in delaying action by the Senate foreign relations committee again yesterday despite strong pressure from the White House. Chairman Borah announced he would call the committee back into session today and would insist upon daily ses- sions until the pact is reported out. Majority Leader Curtis held numer- ous conferences yesterday acting as a mediator between friends of the treaty and its critics. He refused to discuss his activities but developments are ex- pected probably today. President Coolidge called Senator Shipstead. Minnesota Farmer-Labor senator, to the White House yesterday Shipstead is a member of the foreign relations committee, and is regarded as mildly critical of the Kellogg treaty. Whether the President had made headway with him, Shipstead refused to say. The President has been con- sulting with various members of the committee in the last few days. He has several times commented § adversely upon the effort to attach intrepretations to the treaty. This is his last and al- most his only fight with the Senate and it is attracting much attention here, Starts Wilsonlan Battle.

Baltimore Police Believe Hit-and-Run Driver Put Them on Spot. Special to The Washington Post. Baltimore, Md., Dec. 17.—Discovery of the bodies of two Brooklyn, Md., girls lying about 50 feet apart in a field in the Baltimore suburb early this morning confronted police with a mystery involving the possibility that a hit and run automobile driver, identity unknown, is responsible for the deaths. The victims are Marie Stolba, 16 years old, and Thelma Vlack, 15 years old, cousins and neighbors. Last seen alive as they departed Sunday night from the Vlack home, on Sixth street in Brooklyn, to go to a neighborhood store, their mangled bodies were found in a field at the side of the Annapolis road. A passing motorist reported the discovery. At a spot about 120 yards from the place where the bodies lay was found a quantity of broken glass. The heel of a slipper was lying in the roadway These clews gave rise to the theory that an automobile caused the double tragedy. The skulls of both girls were fractured. Because neither body was sprawled across the roadway and both appeared to*have been placed as they were found police are of the opinion that the driver stayed his flight long enough to t | perform this task. Marie’s mother told the police that her daughter had left home about 7 o'clock Sunday night to visit her cousin. Her cousin, Thelma, was seen at the neighborhood store about 8 o’clock, when she purchased some candy and potato chips. The place where the bodies were found nearly twelve hours later is about 7 blocks from their homes. found | Planned in Senate Bills (Assoc ‘i ited Press.) cedure, were introduced in the yesterday to carry out President ldge’s suggestion for a country House.

Town Marshal’s Death Linked With Knaak Case Lake Bluff, Ill.. Dec. 17 (A.P.).— Bernard O. Rosenhagen, 62, village mar- shal, superintendent of the water works and head of the street department here, died last night of heart disease. Physi- clans said criticism in connection with Rosenhagen’s investigation of the Eld- frieda Knaak immolation case recently may have hastened his death. Following the death of Miss Knaak, who said she burned herself in the vil- lage police station furnace “for purity,” Rosenhagen was displaced as chief of police of Lake Bluff.

Harned, director, last night sung “The Messiah,” the great choral composition of Handel, in a concert at the Central High School Auditorium Several hundred local singers and a community orchestra of more than 50 musicians, assisted by four soloists, gave a creditable per- formance of this famous oratorio. Mr. Harned demonstrated that in the ‘short time the association has been formed it has acquired an en- semble tone of commendable quality and produces massed choral effects which deserve praise. The performance was smooth and tuneful. There were no undue waits or halts in its presen- tation, similar to those which so often mar the singing of nonprofessional conductor, Mr. Harned gave a spirited interpretation of the _ great work and developed the _ inspiring themes in a masterly manner.

Altogether Parker was arrested twelve times, and sentenced seven times. AS is usual, his first conviction started him on the downward path from his em- inence as a crook, police say He was sentenced today under the Baumes law, which makes mandatory On a judge the life sentencing of a fourth offender against criminal laws. In his prime, Parker was Known as the best dressed grafter in New York. His clothes today were threadbare, and he seemed broken after his long duel of wits with society. Asked Jury Trials On Liquor Charges Two Women Arraigned; One May Lose Five Chil- dren; Mother on Bail. Mrs. Minnie Epstein, mother of five children, pleaded not guilty and de- manded a jury trial when arraigned yesterday on charges of possessing liquor. She was released on $1,000 bond. It is charged that her 14-year- old daughter sold liquor to a police- man Saturday. Sergt. George Little Said he would take the children into Juvenile Court today, with the object of having a more suitable home pro- vided for them. Another woman, Mrs. Beatrice Lindo, pretty 22-year-old brunette, also plead- ed not guilty to a liquor charge and asked for a jury trial. She was arrest- ed with Williams E. Godbold and James H. Woody by Sergt. O. J. Letterman's squad. The two men also pleaded not guilty. Assistant District Attorney David A.

Election Board Grants Hearing for Wurzbach Austin, Tex., Dec. 17 (A.P.).—The State election board today decided to grant the request of Congressman Harry M.

The hearing was set for tomorrow but the board said it “doubted its juris- diction.” Wurzbach claims he defeated McCloskey in the November 6 election, although the latter has been officially declared the winner. It is Wurzbach’s contention that irregularities in the count in Bexar County caused Mc- Closkey’s apparent victory. McCloskey is under indictment by the Bexar County Grand Jury for alleged alter- ation of returns of the election. of | WASHINGTON JuLtuS GARFINCKEL&Co.

NOT TO INTERFERE Miami, Fla., Dec, 17 (N.Y.W.N.S.).— Through the fastnesses of the Florida Everglades tonight, by means known Only to Seminole Indians, the call is being circulated for tribal leaders, medicine men and sages to meet and pass Judgment upon one of their num- ber accused of murder. Josie Billy is accused of having stabbed Mary Robert, widow of Billy Robert. The woman is dead in Jack- son Memorial Hospital here from knife wounds in her arms and legs. The Seminoles, the only Indians not to have made peace with the United States after the Indian wars and now not citizens of the United States, still conduct their own courts and carry out their sentences. Billy Probably will be tried soon in the heart of Big Cypress Swamp, in Collier County, west of Miami. If guilty of murder he probably will be strangled with a rawhide thong, ac- cording to Cory Osceola, chief of the Seminoles and descendants of the fa- mous Chief Osceola who led the In- dians in the Seminole wars of 1835, With formality unchanged through countless ages, Josie Billy will be sum- moned before the council to hear his trial. He will not be imprisoned in the meantime nor will he be under guard, but when time comes he will be present at his trial. That is a mat- ter of honor with the Seminoles. If it is found, as he says, that the stabbing was done while he and the woman were drunk, the penalty will not be death, according to Cory, for the use of fire water is a mitigaing circum- stance. If found, guilty under such circumstances, he may be shorn of his tribal finery and travel on foot to show his shame and in addition he may be banished from his native Everglades haunts. Stolid-faced red men will hear the evidence for and against Josie, unham- pered by a code of laws, but bound by @ stern traditional fitness of what may be considered relevant. No counsel will plead Josie’s case and there will be no bursts of oratory, just a cold statement of facts. The “head men” will go into conference, and upon the decision they reach will depend the future of Josie Billy’s life. Although the killing occurred off the Seminole reservation, the white man’s law is not expected to interfere down here, as it is customary to allow the Indians to handle their own affairs, and so swift and sure is their penalty that murder is seldom done. RESTAURANT RIDDLED TO MURDER WITNESS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. guarded on all sides until further or- ders. This, presumably, is the open de- flance flung into the face of the law by the extortioners. All during the month the court has been trying to get a jury. Threats were made by tele- phone, lettexs and personal calls to prospective jurors and to witnesses. The witnesses were threatened with death if they testified and, in the light of to- day’s assassination, these were not idle threats. There are hints that the de- fense was unable to pack the jury and, as a last resort, chose to dispose of the witnesses. Mutilation Threatened. On trial with Petitt! is Andrew Cap- pelaino, an enormenisly gross and fat Sicilian, who had rented a farm a few miles out of the ci#ty. On this farm kidnaped children were held prisoners until. their distracted parents had met the demands of the extortioners, Petitti and Cappelaino are on trial for the kidnaping of Billy Ranieri, 10, whe was seized on his way home from school and whisked to the Cappelaino farm. His parents were then ordered to pay $60,000 ransom. This was later reduced to $50,000 and $30,000, but the parents could not taise thissum. They were warned that unless the ransom was forthcoming tleir child’s.ears and fingers would be amputated and mailed to them. Meanwhile the entire community was aroused and the chase became 50 hot that the boy was released. Cap- pelaino with his womitn and a flock of children disappeared from the farm. The woman and childyen managed to get into the wilds of Wichigan woods, but Cappelaino was cze,ptured. It was brought out that Petitti had been at the head of an extortion gang for yeats. The majority of his vic- tims, frightened by threats of death, never reported to the pclice, but paid whatever was demanded, Pasquale Scully, murdered _ this evening, had been one of Petitti’s vic- tims and had paid $5,000. Although warned of death, he had testified to this effect before the grand jury. After he emerged from the gramd jury he had signed his own death warrant. room, he was notified by Sicilian gang- sters loitering in the hallway that This evening the gang, eight in all, burst down the doors of his restau- FMINOLES TO HOLD | Trophy Given by Electric League etek da El ate Bd a nl ae at See ; ei! Oe tN a Outdoor Lighting Contest for Holiday Season Attracts Many Entrants; Ten Prizes Offered for Individual Residences Showing Most Artistic Decorations. Competition is going to be keen for the prizes offered by the Electric League of Washington for the ten best decorated homes for the holiday season and the most artistically lighted com- munity among the many subdivisions of the District of Columbia and terri- tory within 3 miles of its borders. Most of the commmtnities have al- ready officially entered the contest, which will have as a prize the Electric League's silver loving ctip. This trophy is now held by the Wesley Heights Community Club. That section of the city was awarded last year’s prize as the community having the largest per- centage of its homes showing artistic outdoor decorations for the Christmas season. Other communities are making plans to take the cup away from Wesley Heights. Celebrations are scheduled in most of these centers as part of The Washington Post’s appeal for “A Brighter Community Christmas,” while the residents of these sections are plan- ning to decorate their homes that all may enjoy the brilliance of the season. Individuals are not lagging behind the communities in striving for the ten special prizes offered this year by the Electric Teague. First award will be worth $75, and the other nine prizes range in value from $50 to $15. All residences decorated for this contest must be registered so that judges will be sure to visit them. Both individual] residents and citi- zens associations may use the entry blank printed below to register their homes or communities in the contest. These entry blanks, when properly filled out, should be sent either to the Washington Post or the Electric League headquarters, Vermont avenue at L street. They must be received prior to Christmas to be eligible. It is easy to make a home attractive for yourself, your neighbors and pas- sersby. Don’t keep all the decorations inside where only your own family may enjoy your happiness. Lamps over porch fixtures, electric candles in windows, colored lights on trees and ehrubs, strings of colored lights on verandas, lights in flower boxes, festoons of lights on the eaves|°% of the house, stars over doors, fiood- lights on shrubbery, Christmas trees outdoors and decorated, twinkling lights and Christmas bells are some sugges- tions for making the exterior of your home as attractive as the interior. Winners in the Washington contest will be entered in divisional and na- tional contests conducted by the Socie- ty for Electrical Development with cash prizes totalling $600 offered.

BLANK FREE BOOK LAW SEEN THIS SESSION CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. would not interfere with the President's economy program. It is estimated that the books would cost $242,088 the first year, and ap- proximately $100,000 each year there- after. The decrease would be accounted for by the fact that the books pur- chased in the beginning could be used by successive classes of students. The students in the elementary grades have been given free textbooks and supplies since 1891. Prior to that time books and supplies were furnished free only to pupils whose parents could not afford to pay for them. In indors- ing the Capper-Zihlman bill, the Com- missioners said: “At the present time parents of pupils attending the ninth grade of the junior high schools and the four grades of the senior high schools are required to purchase the textbooks ind supplies necessary for the instruction of the pupils. “These books are not of the type usually for home libraries, and the re- sult of the present system is that thou- sands of books are purchased annually by parents, only to be discarded at the end of the school year. “The effect of the passage of the bill will be to reduce the cost of education of children by parents, while at the same time not materially increasing the cost of maintenance of the public school system to the taxpayers.” Ice Pack Delays Byrd Expedition Radio Tells Navy Secretary Personnel Is Well; Ship Far From Base.

BRIGHTER YULETID WINS NIDCTY AI Citizens’ Group Unanimous in Indorsement of Electric League Contest. VAGRANCY BILL BACKED The Brighter Community Christmas Activity contest sponsored by The Washington Post and the Electric League of Washington was indorsed by the Midcity Citizens Association by &@ unanimous vote last night as a step toward the betterment of the city. Other resolutions adopted at the meeting in Thomson School included the following: Commendation of pro- osed legislation regarding the vagrancy aws and ordinances prohibiting the sale of firearms in the District; urging the adoption of a five-year school building program providing for a $3,- 00,000 increase in the annual school building budget to be submitted to the Budget Bureau by the District Com- missioners; indorsement of and a pledge of support to the Community Chest movement; and the cancellation of a clause in the appropriation bill providing for the use of the Business High School building as an elementary school for colored children. The bill provides for this usage upon comple- tion of the new high school structure. A letter in which Senator Arthur Capper expresed his opposition to the establishment of any farmers’ whole- sale market through the use of funds of either the Federal or District govern- ment was read by Secretary M. E. Sals- bury. Meeting in the Potomac Bank Hall at Wisconsin avenue and M_ street northwest the Georgetown Citizens As- sociation took action similar to that of the Midcity group in regard to the proposed “‘vagrancy bill” and the schoo] building program. The Lincoln Park Citizens Assocla- tion, meeting in the Bryan School, adopted a resolution indorsing the bill presented to Congress by the Board of Education stipulating that it be given one-third of all District taxes for its purposes, that an additinoal appropri- ation of $3,000,000 be given it over the next five years for its building pro- gram, and that it be allowed to present its budget direct to the Budget Bureau Instead of through the District Com- missioners.

New York, Dec, 17 (A.P.).—Thousands of actors and actresses—the exact num- ber is in dispute—tramped the streets of New York through cold rain today, drearily hunting for jobs. In what is generally described as the worst year the theater business in New York has ever experienced, 61 productions of the 104 that opened were forced to the wall between August 1 and December 15. Nine shows, the majority of which had been running hardly long enough for the odor of fresh paint to have evaporated from their scenery, closed in New York Saturday night, and today more than 100 players who had parts in them joined the hopeles march from one theatrical agency to another. In addition, five producers this week are taking advantage of the clause in the actors’ equity contracts that per- mits them to close their shows be- cause of bad business the week before Christmas without paying their actors. This is the first time a situation like this has arisen on Broadway, old timers say. John Golden, who produced “Light- nin,” said he did not believe more than 3,000 of the more than 10,000 mem- bers of actors’ equity were working. Musical comedy is feeling the slump far less than the straight dramatic pro- ductions. Of the 104 shows that Opened between August 1 and Decem- ber 15, 20 were musical comedies, and only seven of those closed. Of the 84 Straight dramatic productions, 54 closed—or 64 per cent of them. Rabid Dog Invades School, Biting Five Janitor Kills Animal With Shovel After Teachers’ Brave Fight. Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 17 (A.P.).—A rabid dog ran through classrooms at Barret School, East Lake, today and be- fore being killed by the school janitor with a shovel, had bitten two teachers, two students and the janitor. Students in one of the classroms stood on their desks while the teachers, Misses Raynor A. Tilman and Gladys Ragan fought the mad animal, Both young women were bitten about their hands. Miss Tilman succeeded in tying a cord about the dog’s neck, after being bitten and was pulling the small animal toward the door when the cord broke Responding to the cries of teachers and children, H. J. Dawson, the janitor, caught and killed it. Health department representatives ordered all persons who handled the animal, or were bitten, to begin taking Pasteur treatment.

—— en ne ee ee > IRBITRATION GROUP PLANS TO BALK WAR Delegates to Pan-American Conference Hear Bolivian and Paraguayan Envoys. FORMER IS BELLIGERENT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. keep ite hands off this purely Ameri- can controversy and confine its activi- ty to an indorsement of the proffer of g00d Offices which has been made by the conference here, Bolivian Delegate Defiant. The elements of defiance found in the Bolivian delegate’s speech to the conference committee were shrouded in lofty expressions of peace and good-will and an eloquent appeal for conciliation of matters in dispute between the na- tions. As a general proposition, Bolivia was a ploneer for peace, excepting in certain instances, the delegate ex- plained. The present dispute with Paraguay constitutes one of the in- stances where international arbitration and conciliation do not apply, he added, in effect. “Arbitration and concillation will be the panacea of all conflicts between nations,” Senor de Medina said, “when the will of these nations will be hon- estly directed toward guaranteeing their efficacy. “But, this noblest of juridical prin- ciples must be applied in advance of armed conflicts among those who de- fend opposing interests and must not be applied to retroactively deal with acts of violence unanimously con- demned by society and international law. “To every wrong, to every act of vio- lence, there corresponds a legitimate reparation It is to prevent the former and avoid the latter that international law has consecrated recourse to arbi- tration as the only means of solving disputes by processes of peace and jus- tice. “Affront Must Be Repulsed.” “Once the dignity and sovereignty of a nation have been insulted, how- ever, it seems as if no people on earth today has ever tolerated the humilla- tion of the affront, nor furled its na- tional flag and put up in its place on the masthead the ensign of arbitra- tion.” The committee on conciliation had met at 11 o’clock to deal with the gen- eral problem of providing a formula upon which the conference could later agree in setting up future machinery for conciliation of disputes. The Bolivian delegate injected the present controversy into his speech, although he had stated last week that he had no authority from his government to discuss the dispute with the confer- ence or participate-in the conference deliberations concerning it. Dr. Eligio Ayala, the Paraguayan delegate, made a brief reply to the Bolivian delegate, and won applause on account of the conservatism of his remarks. He simply said that Paraguay had no part in the offenses charged by Bolivia, and would welcome any investigation of the facts. Paraguayan Reply Conciliatory. After expressing the hope that inter- national controversies of the future would be settled in accordance with the principles of concillation and arbi- tration, he added: “Let us go ahead without any ran- cors from the past or fears for the future.” Dr. Ramirez, Charge d’Affalires of Paraguay, has delivered to Secretary Kellogg a note from h'‘s government protesting against recent “livian at- tacks and virtually charging that Bo- livia is waging war without a declara- tion.” The committee on conciliation at its meeting yesterday agreed to ap- point a subcommittee to draw up plans for a convention to be submitted to the conference. Dr. Varela, delegate from Uruguay and reporter for this committee, was named head of the subcommittee. The other members are Dr. Alfaro, of Panama; Jr. Parejo, Venezuela; Charles Evans Hughes, United States; Dr. Gutierrez, Cuba; 8. Gurgel do Amaral, Brazil, and Jr. Foster, Chile, Dr. Varela informed the committee that so far he had been unable to ob- tain unanimity of viewpoint among the delegates with respect to an ac- ceptable formula for the designed agreement. He proposed that the sub- committee proceed informally through conversations with the various delega~- tions. The subcommit.ee will there- fore keep no minutes and will not, hold public sessions, but its members will exchange views with the individual delegates, which delegates will be in daily touch with their respective gov- ernments. Dr. Parejo made a carefully pre- pared address to the committee, out- lining past work in the interest of conciliation in America and Europe. a cmmmtsieniemenmniamnaameeienimmnaanetl Washington, Hotel Houston 910 E Bt. tate Bt) 90 Rooms With Bath, $2.50 Double, $4.

DECEMBER 18, ee League Action in Americas as || Decried by Cuban Minister Statement by Dr. Ferrara Calls on Nations of This Hemi- sphere to Settle Dispute Between Bolivia and Para- guay, Prevent War Declaration. (United Press.) Dr, Orestes Ferrara, Cuban Ambassa- dor to the United States, has issued the following statement, urging action by the American States to preserve peace rather than dependence upon the appli- cation of the covenant of the League of Nations: “Frontier incidents can not precip!- te two countries into a war. “Bloodshed in small encounters that do not originate in the will of govern- ments are painful, but they ought not to be the cause of a greater 193s of human life as a consequence of a declaration of war. “I believe that the war ought to be prevented for the prestige of America, because all America has tendered its good offices for a peaceful solution, though as yet no answer has been received to said offer, “It ts better that a question of honor that may arise be settled peacefully than with a war, the results of which are always uncertain. On the other hand, it is useful to prevent the ps- sible application, in the case of the covenant of the League of Nations, we making unnecessary the coercive meas- ures stipulated in that pact in case of war and applying, in accord with our continental system, the harmonious measures of American solidarity.” Cuba is a member of the league and has a seat on the league council. REPUBLICANS BLOCK DRY FUND INCREASE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. committee, began to have his doubts about this senatorial frivolity though, when he first met the House con- ferees. Representative Wood of Indiana, rep- resenting the House, of serious mien but humorous thoughts, agreed to accept the amendment, Warren stirred uneasily and observed that Wood must be mistaken, but the Indianian pro- fessed to be astonished that the Senate conferees should come to him asking that he object to an amendment passed on their side of the House. Subsequently he did, and the Senate conferees acquiesced gingerly. It was thought that the matter was ended then, but when the report of the con- ferees was brought into the Senate yes- terday the Democrats, all save two of them, were found to be indignant that the “Republicans were not willing to appropriate enough money to enforce prohibition.” Deserters Help Republicans. Senator Harris of Georgia, moved that the report be not agreed to. It would not have been either had not Senator Reed of Missouri, and Senator Kendrick of Wyoming, deserted the party ranks. On the other hand three Republicans, Brookhart, Jones and Norris, voted with the Democrats. The Democrats lost 35 to 38. The Georgia senator declared that it was well known that prohibi- tion is not being enforced now, and hat it will take more money to enforce it. It should at least have $100,000,000, he said, and wanted the matter to go back to conference with a view to get- ting the amount up this high at least, Senator Barkley, of Kentucky, while voting with the Democrats said that he could not escape the belief that Senator Bruce, who started the whole business was one of those Greeks bearing gifts But he, too, believed that enforcement funds should be greatly increased. The Missour! Reed, after goading Senator Sheppard, of Texas, into the position of voting for the bill but say- ing that he did not want the impres- sion to go out that prohibition is not being enforced now, did not vote for it himself. The roll call follows: How the Ballots Show.

Democratic Thoughts Puzzle. Assuming Bruce’s proposal was not friendly to prohibition, as the Repub- licans contend, there can be no doubt- ing the many and strong prohibition friends in his company. Furthermore, the Democrats insisted that the amount did not have to be boosted to $300,000,~ 000 but that it should go back to con- ference and be boosted some, at any rate. Just what ran through the collective Democratic mind is problematic. It may be that it does not agree with Gov. Smith that the support of the Anti- saloon League is unnecessary to politi- cal success in this country, and in this connection it may or may not be sig- nificant that neither Senators Wagner nor Copeland, of New York, were pres- ent. The fact that virtually all of the Southern senators who supported Smith in the campaign are on proba- tion before their dry constituents may have something to do with the gesture. All of these senators insisted during the campaign that they were still dry, but the temperance women were in- clined to ask each other: “You reckon Ken- they really are?” wrwwy www’ Outfits te te i hi tn i hi Mihi hn Mn Mn a ed a Johnson’s Electric ig Usually $29.50 SPECIAL A good gift for the woman of the house al ew ~~ eee rwrw $24.50 Fk Al i i Mn A Mi Mi Ml i i i i ll i Cutting Glass Tops for Gift Tables & Desks +—at notably Reasonable Prices, why not have us equip that Christmas desk in this way?

It has stated, however, that its regular army has not been mobilized, and that the hostilities at the border involved only colonial troops employed as frontier guards. Bolivia’s statement does not agree with its communique issued on Saturday night, in which the minister of war de- ¢lared that “the army had done its duty.” The massing of the Bolivian troops near the border and the Bolivian airplane raid Over Paraguayan territory, in which bombs were dropped, are equally incon- sistent with the statement that only a few frontier guards are at the front. : Unless Bolivia soon accepts the Pan- American Conference tender of good of- fices it is obvious that public opinion throughout this hemisphere will hold ‘ v *~ + ‘Bolivia accountable if war should break out. It is still possible to compose this dispute without further bloodshed. The proper agency for bringing conciliatory influences to bear is the Pan-American €onference, in which all the Latin Ameri- éan countries are represented, with the éxception of Argentina. But Argentina is anxious to promote peace also, as is Shown by President Irigoyen’s offer to mediate between the disputants. * There are intimations that the discov- éry of petroleum in the disputed terri- tory may be an incentive in stirring up war for the purpose of gaining possession éf the territory by force rather than by legal right. The charge has also been made that Bolivia has bought war ma- terial with money borrowed ostensibly for purposes of internal improvement. Bolivia denies this charge; but the most éffective means of showing good faith and a desire to ascertain just rights by peaceful adjudication is for Bolivia to accept the good offices of its neighbors and friends. Through those good offices a just settlement can be had, and injur- ies, if any, can be repaired. +» Every hour of delay in applying the good offices of the Pan-American Con- “ ference increases the probability of war. sad, ' Wy “ee ek a > a S ! ps Ef #3 ™ Be i, oat = parallel stimulus to consumption. aa On the other hand, the laborers came to the gonclusion that in order to realize this im- proved status they must not endanger the ability of the industries from which they make their living.

The greater that cooperation, the greater will likely be the economic success of any nation. With the government intensely interested in the labor situation, and with the cooperative movement on foot, Mexico ought to become a much more profitable field for foreign capital. Neighboring nations will join in wishing hearty success to the new venture, as they recently joined in wishing well to the new Mexican government, NO FIRE ESCAPE, One man is dead and three other persons are reported to be near death as the result of either inadequate protection in the District’s building code or failure to enforce that code. The victims were trapped in their rooms by fre and had no way of escape. All might have been saved from death and injury had the necessary precautions been taken. The three-story building in which the tragic fire occurred had no fire escape. Since it was used as both a rooming house and an apart- ment house, according to the fire marshal’s office, it is difficult to determine whether or not this is a violation of the District building code. The first two stories of the house were divided into small apartments, and rooms were let on the third story. Edwin Percy Smith, who leaped to his death from the third floor when he gave up hope of rescue, Was a roomer. The other victims occupied apartments. There is no provision in the District build- ing code requiring rooming houses to be equipped with fire escapes. Apartments of three or more stories must be so equipped under the building regulations. Indications are that the building was officially considered an apartment house, for the records of the fire marshal’s office show that it was reported in 1924 as violating the fire escape ruling. Apparently nothing was done to compel the proprietor to comply with the law. The fire marshal reports that there are many lodging houses in Washington that have no fire escapes, and thus the tragedy may be repeated any night unless some action is taken. If it is lawful for rooming houses to operate in the District without protection of their guests from fire hazard, the sooner the build- ing code is revised the better. Care should be taken that its provisions in regard fire- escape equipment are applied to old as well as new buildings. to _— — PROFESSIONAL BONDSMEN. The report of the Baltimore criminal jus- tice commission on the alleged criminal prac- tices of 14 professional bondsmen of that city serves to focus attention on the extensive al- liance in this country between unscrupulous bondsmen and attorneys and the criminal ele- ment. #Similar studies in dozens other American cities would no doubt reveal condi- tions equally bad or ‘perhaps Un- principled professional bondsmen one class of criminal accomplices that has been sadly neglected by law enforcement officials. In Baltimore the commission found that two brothers in the bonding business owned a piece of land valued at $4,000, which was mortgaged for $2,500. The brother holding the title pledged the land for payment of three different bonds for $2,500, $1,000 and $1,500 in the Federal court. The other brother pledged the same property in the State court for $1,000, and later the owner used it as security for two other bonds totaling $2,500. Thus an equity of $1,500 was pledged as security for six bonds amounting to $8,500. The commission found that 175 of the 1,377 bonds investigated involved a duplication of properties pledged. In each case the bonds- men had sworn under oath that the property was unpledged. Seventy per cent of the bonds- men whose activities were investigated had pledged property already tied up in other bonds. Nearly every one of them claimed to have “lost” their records and many offered to correct their “honest mistakes.”’ Originally bail was intended to accused person of the necessity of staying in jail until his trial. Ingland still recognizes this theory, and makes it a criminal offense to charge a fee for going bail. In America the criminal sometimes pays as high as $700 for a $1,000 bond. Under such conditions bonds- men and professional crooks are partners in a criminal business. Some idea of the alliance may be gained from the fact that bondsmen frequently arrive at the police station at the same time as their client who has been ar- rested. Seldom does the professional criminal have to send out for a bondsman to go his bail. Under existing conditions a bond often be- comes only a license fee for continuation of the racket business. The Baltimore commis- sion reported that “unfortunately in this coun- try release on bail often means giving the pro- fessional crimina! a further chance to pursue his criminal activities, thereby enabling him to secure sufficient means to defray the ex- penses of his trial. By the very law of aver- ages, the chances of his not being caught are in his favor.” Almost invariably the courts have difficulty in securing forfeited bonds given by agencies of this character. Legal proceedings at the expense of the State are necessary. Many bonds are not collected at all, in spite of the fact that they have shielded a criminal from justice. The commission recommended a card-catalogue system to prevent duplication of pledged prop- erty, but this would correct only one of a multitude of weaknesses. Law enforcement agencies will find a thorough overhauling of the professional bonding system one of the most effective means of dealing with the crimi- nal element. of worse, constitute relieve an AMATEUR CITY PLANNING. It might be well for Congress to take a glance at the operations and plans of the National Capital Park and Planning Commis- sion as they are being developed by under- strappers in the commission. Like all com- missions, it seeks enlargement of authority and increased appropriations, and while wait- ing for them it appears to be developing a little autocracy of its own, domineering over the District Commissioners, the Zoning Com- mission, and the other authorities charged with District affairs. Some of the fledglings in the Park and Planning Commission under- take to revise and improve upon the plan formulated by George Washington for the National Capital, although their own knowl- edge of city planning seems to have been con- ' fined to studying the eccentricities of the cow- paths of Boston and the lovely vistas of the | Chicago stockyards, It is desirable to have a National Park and Planning Commission worthy of the name and competent to perform the duties assigned to it, but it is still more desirable that the com- mission shall not acquire a bad case of swelled head and attempt to take over the powers of Congress and the District government, The commission has in its membership several ex- perienced legislators, but they have apparent- ly delegated their powers to a few amateurs who are proceeding to make the District of Columbia a proving-ground for half-baked ex- periments that must be canceled later on, Be- fore accepting any further suggestions for en- larging the powers of this commission Con- gress should look over what has already been done and make sure that the commission is not doing more harm than good, SANTA CLAUS M’CARL, The Christmas spirit attacked Comptroller General McCarl] early, and by succumbing to the bug of generosity that bites common mor- tals about this time of year he sacrificed his charter membership in the Ancient and Hon- orable Order of Woodpeckers. No longer is this watchdog of the Treasury to be belabored by Government workers who suspect him of standing in the way of salary increases, Did he not go to bat for employes of the recorder of deeds’ office, accusing its chief, Arthur G. Froe, of failing to increase salaries, and add- ing a stentorian command: ‘Raise your own salary $400?” Mr. MeCarl never should have ac- cepted to membership in the Order of Wood- peckers, whose function it is to save the pen- nies that so quickly grow into dollars by peck- ing away continually at waste. His brothers in the order have labored hard and long, re- claiming paper clips, writing with pencil stubs, and making memoranda on the back of old and now Mr. McCarl orders salary increases to aS much in a week as all the Woodpeckers, pecking in unison, can save in amonth. Such boring from within amounts to high treason against economy. By his order the of deeds, the Comptroller General has proved that he is not a Wood- pecker at all, but Santa Claus incarnate, been envelopes, comes forth and in one command umounting to recorder DOG DISTEMPER CONQUERED. Dr. Laidlaw and Mr. F. Medical tion, have of distemper in dogs, and have found a method W. Dunkin, of the Research Council, a British institu- succeeded in discovering the true nature the virus or poison which causes of employing it so as to render dogs immune from attacks of the disease. Five years ago the magazine, Field, under- took to raise a fund with which to engage ex- perts to study the disease and attempt to find successful immunization against it. The happy outcome of their labors is now announced The method of preventing distemper sists of a double inoculation. Con- Distemper, says the report of the discoverers of the immuniza- tion process, occurs, not as was once supposed, by a visible germ of micro-organism, but by an invisible one that can be detected only by the virus or poison that reveals its presence. The virus is the concomitant of the organism causing distemper, and is present in all cases. The first inoculation is made with a vaccine which is in fact the virus of distemper, made inactive by laboratory treatment, and the second inoculation, made after an interval of about ten days, is made with a weak or at- tenuated strain of the living virus. This latter dose is a hundredfold more potent than that which would suffice to infect with distemper any dog that had not been inoculated with the first vaccine, but it produces only slight symptoms, because the dog is rendered par- tially immune by the first inoculation. The final treatment renders the animal completely and permanently immune from distemper. The treatment has been put to the most severe test and found efficacious. Dog owners will await anxiously the day when the virus and vaccine requisite for the inoculations can be had from any veterinarian. BRINGING OUT MUSICAL TALENT. In its two years of existence the national radio audition has more than justified the hopes of its sponsors. Organized to provide means by which aspiring and talented young singers can be given auditions and provided with funds and with facilities for furthering the study of their art, the contest has won unqualified support from professional musi- cians and the lay public. It is gratifying to Washington that a local girl, Miss Hazel Ce- cilia Arth, won first prize in the competition concluded last Sunday night, but what is more important than the natural feeling of local pride is the fact that the ten voices heard in the closing concert were of such exceptional quality that the final result was in doubt until the judges had rendered their decision. Miss Arth shares honor with Donald Novis, a young Californian who won first prize among men. Hach received an award of $5,000, a gold decoration, and a two-year scholarship in any leading American conservatory. With the recognition they have already received, together with the additional training that the awards make possible, Miss Arth and Mr. Novis may anticipate successful careers upon the concert or operatic stage. The competition this year began with pre- liminary contests in more than 1,000 com- munities. Winners of these contests competed in semifinal contests held at a central point in each of the five districts into which the country had been divided, and the semifinal winners, two from each district, met in the final singing competition Sunday night. By radio, the Nation followed closely the course of the contest. The beneficial influence of this centering of attention upon young singers and good music can not be overestimated. By all means educate the girls—somebody must qualify to do the spelling for financial wizards who dropped out at the fourth grade. Science kuows everything except why the prehistoric mammal’s teeth lasted this long without tooth paste, It’s just as well that the meek inherit the earth.

New York, December 15. Parents and Teachers Responsible. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: 5S. of the youth of today and does not know where the blame for this condi- tion rests. A large share of it rests on the shoulders of parents and teachers. When children are raised in igrforance of danger of going with strangers their parents are guilty of criminal negligence. We ought to have teachers more intelligent and reliable than to allow a man to take a pupil from school to her death. A teacher who Knows how to deal with boys will not punish, humiliate and discipline them in a harsh manner. She will respect them and when necessary give friendly advice appealing to their pride and honor. With due encouragement their better nature will rule. It is danger- ous to have boys growing up with righteous resentment against unfair treatment. If anybody is growing worse it is rather we of the older gen- eration. We are neglecting our duties.

Whosoever he was, he displays an ignorance of Army regulations in his proposal to erect it at some point in the rear of the building. The building is oc- cupied as headquarters by military authorities, and according to Army regulations the flag must be floated in front and not in the rear of the headquarters. I have also heard it said that ob- jection was raised to the flag being retained in front of the building on the ground that it was unsightly and marred the scenery. The ones mak- ing this objection must be possess with a sickly idea of beauty. W° it any more unsightly than the fi. on the roof of the White House, or th on the Capitol? martialed. EX-OFFICER. Democrats as Protectionists. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: Wh the Seventy-first Congress meets an the Democrats array themselves on tI side of a protective tariff, will there na be shaking of the ground at Monti- cello? It is the last stronghold of Jeffersonian Democracy, and to see it deserted by its oldtime defenders will be one of the curious and interesting political events in our history. Long ago, even before Jefferson died, they abandoned his “strict construction” theory and adopted Hamilton’s “im-« plied powers” idea. After a long strug- gle they gave up the State’s rights doce trine and became ardent advocates of @ © national banking system, and of ine /7 ternal improvements. Now, to — them give up the only remaining dig tinctive Jeffersonian idea of govermm™ §~ ment is surprising, even although # does show progress. If Sam Randall, the great protecti ist from Philadelphia, could return fy , the grave, would he not dance a me go-round to see his old antagc» - recanting and owning up that thes - been wrong all these years? * is a long lane that has no if it is a political lane, J’ crats become protection they have to fight fo Caamapaign? : *?

FAVORITE IN SOCIETY New York., Dec. 17 (A.P.).—Elinor Hoyt Wylie, poet and novelist, who re- sided in Washington a quarter of a century ago, died last night of a para- lytic stroke. A fall, which she suffered in London x last summer was thought to have con- tributed to the cause of her death. Since then she had occasionally suf- fered from high blood pressure, but Was apparently gaining strength. Re- cently she has been going about her affairs as usual. On Saturday she visited her publisher and was engaged in preparing a book of poems for pub- lication in the spring. Miss Wylie (Mrs. William Rose Benet) was born in Rosemont, Pa. She was the daughter of Henry M. Hoyt, of Washington, who was solicitor general under President Taft. She gained recognition in 1919 with her first two volumes of poetry, “Nets to Catch the Wind” and “Black Armour.” After these she published “Jennifer Lorn,” the “Venetian Glass Nephew” and her greatest success, “The Orphan Angel.’ In 1923 Miss Wylie married William Rose Benet, himself a poet. He was her third husband, Philip S. Hickborn was her first husband and Horace Wylie the second. She was twice divorced. Besides her husband she is survived by a son, Philip, a senior at Harvard. Her pen Name was Elinor Wylie. 9 New Influenza Cases Here; No Alarm Felt Reporting of only nine new cases of influenza to the Health Department since Saturday, bringing the total re- ported to 54 since December 1, con- firmed District health. authorities in their opinion that Washington is not experiencing a widespread or alarming epidemic of the disease. Since December 1 there have been 11 deaths attributed to influenza by the Health Department, Dr. William C. Fowler, District health officer, an- nounced yesterday. James L. Fieser, vice-chairman the American Red _ Cross, issued instructions to all chapters throughout the country to start preparations to aid their communities in combating the spread of influenza should the epidemic develop into an emergency. of yesterday Bill for Promotion In Air Corps Wins Passes House Again Tacked on Senate Meas- ure to Aid Generals. (Associated Press.) The House yesterday repassed a bill | it approved last session to create a/| separate promotion list for Army Air Corps officers. Senate a year ago when it clashed with proposals applying to the entire Army and in repassing it yesterday the House tacked it on as an amendment to a Senate bill to grant Hunter Liggett and Robert Bullard, retired major generals, the rank of lieutenant generals on the retired list. The provision applying to Bullard and Liggett now has passed both houses, but because of the Air Corps amend- ment the measure must now go back to the Senate for action. Representative Furlow (Republican), Minnesota, author of the Air Covps amendment, declared it would create a separate promotion list for all Army flyers below the grade of colonel and would provide for promotion after stated years of commissioned service. — = 660 FIFTH C/AVENUE N.W..CORNER~ §2*4 ST, 3*2 FLOOR NEW YORK Christmas r Dressing gowns, mufflers, scarfs handkerchiefs and neckwear.

You should “know, and tell Junior, that this gala merrymaking will take lace in the Fox Theater on next Mon- ay morning, December 24, which you may recognize as the day before Christ- mas, at 9:45 o'clock. Doors will be open, for the benefit of those who will wish to wait up all night, at 9 a. m. Only children with tickets of admis- sion especially distributed for this oc- casion will be admitted. A list of the 25 points of distribution of these cov- eted pasteboards will be foynd in other columns of today’s issue of The Post. The major screen feature of the Yule- tide program will be comprised of the motion pictures taken during The Post’s expedition to Santa Claus land in the far North. They were taken by Capt. and Mrs. Kleinschmidt, intimate friends of Kris Kringle, who have ar- ranged to havé Santa return with The Post party to Washington and appear at the Fox in person. ‘There will, too, be comedy subjects, cartoons and other appropriate features and special Christ- mas music—all free to holders of the tickets that are to be distributed with- out charge.

BELL It will be of interest to many familiar with the high quality of her artistry as pipe organist and concert pianist, to know that Gertrude Kreisel- man, popular broadcast star, a former member of the Stanley-Crandall musi- cal organization and erstwhile organ- ist at the Rialto, was married on December 14, to Mr. Sidney H. Moss, a young attorney of Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Moss after their honey- moon will make their home in Cleve- land. Probably because I once offered her some unimportant encouragement— musical, not marital—Gertrude oalled on the 13th, to mention the next day’s event to this department and, for some strange reason, seemed all excited about it. In fairness to her, I should add that its publication is my own idea, although I surmise that Mrs. Moss will not seriously object to her public’s knowing why her syncopated melodies are no longer heard in the local cathedrals of the celluloids. As long as we are on the topic of departures from the Capital, it might be well to say that R. G. Wood, the last brief managing director of the Rialto Theater during the five weeks of its temporary resuscitation, has been retained in the employ of Universal and assigned to the management of the Venetian Theater in Racine, Wis. The . Venetian, according to best advices, is a combination motion pic- ture and vaudeville house, operated on much the policy that prevailed at the Rialto prior to the installation of the sound devices. The Earle Theater, you may have observed, is sporting a new box-office placed, as most of them are, djrectly on the building line and immediately in the center of the main entrance. This, I -understand, is less for the con- venience of the public than that the cashiers enjoy watching the automo- biles go by! There are several of us, I -discover, who entertain distinct and distinctly pleasant recollections of the late Theo- dore Roberts’ activities in the Capital before the days of the silent drama’s | opulence. My first recollection of the widely loved patriarch of the playhous on a local stage was in the character part of the French Canadian in which the stellar role—that Steele, the lawyer, whose master vice was drink—was played by Guy Stand- ing, Just then a popular graduate from a Washington stock company, in which | Hilda Spong and Charlotte Walker had also played, if memory serves. It self was recruited from pany in this city to play before cameras for Cecil B. De Mille, then becoming interested in the form of dramatic expression. the WAS | not long after this that Roberts him- | n stock com- | Is The Washington Post working for you? If not, why not?

TAX INQUIRY IS STARTED Chicago, Dec. 17 (A.P.).—Joe Saltis, Chicago beer baron, who played hide and seek with Federal and State gau- thorities for 208 days, finally surfen- dering Saturday, appeared in Federal Court today in the role of a gentleman farmer from Minnesota and took three oy legal socks to the jaw as a re- sult. Saltis, wanted by the State to serve . @ 60-day sentence for carrying a pistol in his hip pocket, ard wantec by the Government in connection with charges that he violated the prohibi- tion laws, appeared before Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson intending to plead not guilty to the Federal charge and ask for a continuance while he served the gun-toting sentence. Instead, an assistant United States district attorney moved that a $5,000 bond on which Saltis had been at lib- erty and to save which he surrendered, be forfeited. So the judge entered » Judgment on the bond. Next the Government attorney sug- gested that Mr. Saltis should serve a new term in jail for every day he had been absent on a charge of con- tempt of court. The judge granted the motion to cite him for contempt. By this time Saltis’ attorney man- aged to get in a word In behalf of the crestfallen Joe. He suggested that bond be fixed. The Government ob- jected and Mr. Saltis was remanded to the custody of the United ~tates mar- shal pending his next round with the law on Wednesday, when some of the subjects discussed today will be con- sidered further. About that time he learned that Mrs. Mabel Reinecke, collector of internal revenue, had started an inquiry into his income-tax returns following his boast of now being a landed Minne- sota agriculturalist with cows. and horses and a golf course on his farm. » Pages of Dickens Bought for $37,500 Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach Pur- chases Manuscript at Spirit- ed London Auction. London, Dec. 17 (A:P.).—After a strong bidding duel between represen- tatives of Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach and Gabriel Wells, noted book collectors, at Sotheby’s auction rooms today, Dr. ' Rosenbach obtained five pages of the original manuscript of ‘Pickwick Papers,” by Dickens, for £7,500, or ap- proximately $37,500. The manuscript, containing 132 lines, deals with the midnight meeting of Arabella Allen with Mr. Pickwick end Mr. Winkle in the garden. Expefts explain that nothing pleased Dickens more than to give away to his friends portions of his original manu- scripts. That accounts for a work like Pickwick being divided. It is believed that about a twentieth part of the original manuscript is in existence. The section sold today was presented oy Dickens to John Marvell Whiteley, of Halifax, and was placed on sale at the instance of his grandson, G. Whiteley, of old Felixstone. The Whiteley manuscript begins with the departure of the coach from the Bush Hotel carrying Pickwick, Winkle and Sam Weller to Clifton Down, and runs on to the scene where Arabella. pleads with Pickwick.

News columns of The Washington Post during the fifth and final week of the first quarter of the “Big News” con- test certainly furnished the students of Washington and vicinity with plenty of tupics on which to write their essays. The week began Sunday, December 9, and closed Saturday, December 15. Included in the items which rank as “Big News” were stories such as the passage of the Boulder Dam bill by the Senate, King George’s illness, lack of airport facilitie. In Washington, spread of influenza, the Bolivia-Paraguay sit- uation, resignation of Joseph A. Warren as police commissioner of New York, the plot to bomb Hoover’s train in Ar- gentina, the trip of the Prince of Wales to his father’s bedside, plans for the inaugural, rescue of passengers from the liner Celtic, President Coolidge’s plan for a permanent summer White House and the war on drug traffic. . From such an array of prominent news, students should have an easy time preparing 250-word essays telling why they have chosen a certain item as the “Big News” and something of its effect on others, All essays must be received by The | Post before midnight tomorrow to be)! eligible for the two $5 prizes of the fifth week and also for the quarterly | prizes. The latter consist of $20 in cash | and the opportunity of working a week | during the Christmas holidays as a | member of The Washington Post staff, | with pay. Eight weekly prize winners are | already entered in the quarterly com- | petition with two more to be selected | from the fifth week’s batch of essays | From thase ten boys and girls the judges eorne e AURSV ERNE END etme r ; HAVE YOU will select one for the quarterly prizes. Announcement of the fifth-week win- ners and the quarterly victor will be made in next Sunday’s Washington Post. For the awarding of weekly prizes the contest is divided into two classes, one for high school students and the other for grade and junior high school pupils. For t':3 quarterly prizes, however, there will be only one selection from the entire group. Boys and girls are running neck and neck for the honors up to the fifth week, and there is considerable rivalry between Washington and suburban students for the highest honors in the contest. Next Sunday will tell the tale, but in the meantime many stu- dents have the chance to win the prizes by submitting an essay before tomor- row night. paAiN after EATING!

A constitution that makes you look forward to hills. And your wife wants? ... More comfort inside—more room. A rear seat wider at the bottom to prevent crowding, wider still at shoulder height— no cramping on long runs. A front seat wider, too—so a third passenger won't turn you into a crabby driver.

To many a home Santa Claus will bring a General Electric Refriger- ator this Christmas. Why don’t you sort of hint to him that you'd like one too? You'll want a General Electric because it not only guarantees perfect refrig- eration in keeping food fresh and wholesome but also because it is truly “years ahead” in design. The mechanism is all on top and sealed in an air-tight steel casing, forever safe from dust and difh- culties. You don’t even oil it. It is up-on-legs with plenty of broom-room underneath. The gentle, upward current of air which radiates from the coils pre- vents dust from settling on the top. And you will find this most mod- ern General Electric Refrigerator entirely automatic, extraordi- narily quiet, economical to operate. Delivery can be made in time for Christmas, either on defetred pay- ment or for cash, as you prefer. Telephone now for an interesting descriptive booklet or stop in and see the various models. Refrigerator On November 6 last, the nurse sald, Rothstein lay dying after an opera- tion in which doctors had failed to recover the assassin’s bullet in his groin and a blood transfusion. Weak and irrational he lay in a seeming coma, and in this condition Maurice Cantor, his attorney, brought a last will for the signing, she testified. “Rothstein didn’t know what was happening,” said the nurse, Miss Eliza- beth Love, whose name appears on the document as a witness. “Cantor put a fountain pen in Rothstein's left hand, took hold of the hand and wiggled it and made a mark on the paper.” Asked Her to Sign, She Says. After the mark was made on the will, she said, Cantor, “his hand shaking was very nervous,” asked her and another nurse in attendance to sign as witnesses. Cantor then told the nurses, she testified, not to say anything about what had happened. Miss Love gave her testimony before a surrogate’s stenographer, the report to be submitted later with other tes- timony, to the surrogate. The will, disposing of an estate estimated to have a net value of close to $2,000,000 is being contested by relatives. It leaves nothing to the gambler’s parents, reduces the amount for the widow, leaves a large share to a show girl friend and turns over almost every- thing after termination of several trust funds to Cantor and two others named as executors. Biller Sought in Cuba. Aboard a ship bound for Havana, winter mecca of the sporting men with whom Rothstein played his games of chance, was Sergt. James Garvey.

“SC SENTENCE REVIEW Oil Magnate Informs Court Why He Should Not Have to Serve 3 Months. JURISDICTION eee, IS FACTOR (Associated Press.) Harry F. Sinclair filed in the Supreme Court late today a brief presenting ar- guments why he should be be required to serve a three-month jail sentence for contempt in refusing to answer ques- tions of a Senate committee on the naval oil leases. After his conviction, Sinclair took the case to the District of Columbia Court of Apper§js, which asked the Su- preme Court for instruction as to whether his conduct had constituted contempt of the Senate. In his brief the oil operator con- tended that the Government having in- itiated proceedings against him in the courts on charges of conspirary to de- fraud in connection with this Teapot Dome lease, he could not be compelled to give information before the Senate _ committee which might be used to his disadvantage in the trial of the case. The brief insisted that the Senate had lost jurisdiction over the whole subject so far as Sinclair is concerned when it adopted a resolution urging that the whole transaction be brought to the attention of the courts. It added that the Senate committee, after the oil man’s indictment, should have made mo further attempt to question him on the subject. Sinclair also took the position in his brief that the question asked by Senator Walsh (Democrat), Montana, prosecutor for the. Senate committee, called for a disclosure of his private business affairs into which the com- mittee had no right to direct an in- quiry and in which he was fully justi- fied in refusing to answer. The brief further took up the pro- ceedings in the contempt trial, insist- ing that the trial court had improperly restricted the field of inquiry to be made by the jury by its instructions. it added that the jury also should have been instructed to decide whether the facts warranted his refusal to enswer. Stock Slump Has Aided Business, Whiting’s View (Associated Press.) Recent stock market fluctuations were declared yesterday by Secretary of Commerce Whiting to have strength- ened the business situation. Taken in consideration with other business fac- tors, the Secretary said: “The market fluctuations have oper- ated to strengthen business conditions, by bringing stock prices down more into line with intrinsic security values.” “In the meantime,” he added, “trade and industry are proceeding at record volume, particularly due to the retail trade of the season and the general confidence in stability of commerce be- cause of the small accession to stocks of goods on hand.” New York Files New Carfare Case Brief (Associated Press.) Complying with an order of the Su- preme Court requiring the filing of more concise briefs by all parties to the controversy in the Interborough 7- cent carfare case, the City of New York yesterday filed in the court a new brief of 186 pages, or 82 less than its former brief. While retaining all the salient fea- tures of the former brief, counsel for the city have rewritten their argu- ments Opposing the order of the statu- tory three-judge court which author- ized the fare increase from 5 to 7 cents pending final action on the case. 1S a er Associated Press Photo.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Dec. (A.P.).—"‘Charles Warner,” 82 years old, who had worked for 60 years in this city as a painter and paper- hanger, is a woman, according to of- ficials at the Utica State Hospital, to which she was taken on Saturday. The woman told officials that no we knew or ever would know her real name, but that she would like to be called “Jane.” She said that she assumel the male roe because she wanted work to sup- port her widowed mother, and 60 years azo a woman’s wage was insufficient to support two persons. She wanted @ man’s work, with a man’s pay, so she donned men’s clothing and got the job. Her employers here said that she displayed a man’s efficienc’ and vigor. “Charles Warner” had been a county cherge for two years, but refused to live at th: countv home and had been placed in a boarding home. She dis- appeared last week. Friday night she was found wandering about the city and was sent to the Utica Hospital. 17 Patrons Lie on Floor As Robbers Loot Bank Sturgis.

DECEMBER 18, 1928. a a ee | FO PAIR I CANO Army Ordered to Attempt to Find Mr. and Mrs. Glenn R. Hyde on Colorado. VANISHED ON NOV. 15 (Associated Press.) Maj. Gen. John L. Hines, of the Ninth Corps Area at San Francisco, was directed yesterday by Secretary Davis to search by airplane through the Colorado River Canyon from Bright Angel Trail to Needles, Calif., for Glenn Hyde and his wife, of Hansen, Idaho, who started down the Colorado River in a boat two months ago. Representatives Smith and French, both Idaho Republicans, had trans- mitted to the President the request of citizens of Hansen and Twin Falls, for airplanes to be used in the effort to locate the couple. Relatives and friends said the two had not been heard from since Novem- ber 20, and they feared that they might be stranded at some point along the river. Gen. Hines was instructed to use all the planes necessary and to report to the War Department in Washington by radio. Phoenix, Ariz. Dec. 17 (A.P.).—Mr and Mrs. Glenn R. Hyde, Colorado River voyagers, from Hansen, Idaho, passed into the wilderness west of Bright Angel Point, in the Grand Can- yon, on November 15, and since then nothing has been heard of them. They are approximately two weeks overdue at their destination, the Needles, Calif., where they believed they would arrive about December 6. Only a few scattered Indian villages are to be found along the 350-mile stretch of the canyon’ between Bright Angel and the Needles. For a vacation jaunt and to give Mrs. Hyde “a thrill,” the husband and wife set sail from Green River, Utah, October 20 in a home-made scow in an attempt to conquer the Colorado. History records only a few successful navigations of tae river, which has claimed several lives in other similar ventures. Mrs. Hyde was the first known woman to attempt to navigate the canyon. Coolidge Withholding Plans for His Future (Associated Press.) After visiting President Coolidge, Louis Wiley, business manager of the New York Times, said yesterday he had been told that the President would give no consideration to his future ac- tivities until after March 4, believing it his duty while in office to diso- clate himself from all outside consid- erations. Wiley said President Coolidge also expressed the opinion that result of the recent presidential election had been accepted by the American people without bitterness or rancor.

HE Catholic University Basket Ball Team, none too strong with an al- most complete personnel of inex- perienced talent, may be further weak- ened tonight when it engages William and Mary of Williamsburg, Va., in the Brookland gymnasium. The Cardinals may have to forego the services of Johnny Blumette, a forward, whose scholastic standing 1s reported to be deficient. If he is declared ineligible to compete for the varsity, the team will lose one of its most promising players. Coach Fred Rice has looked to him to supply much of the Cardinal's offensive power. The period of ineligiblity, if declared, will extend until about February 1. Either Hal Ogden Amann, second-string holdovers from last year’s varsity squad, will he sent to Bluemette’s post, in the event he does not play, while the others who started for Catholic against Baltimore Unt- versity last Saturday will likely take the floor at the start tonight. They are Bill Fitzgerald, forward, Duke McCabe, center, and Larry Martin and Al ragene, guards, The Cardinals v were given a stiff workout last night by Coach Rice who realizes that they must make rapid strides in improving before they can approach the strength boasted by the successful Catholic quintet of last sea- s0n. Catholic ar: *tutr will register a big surprise if it takes the invading. Indians into camp, that is, if the glowing reports preceding the Willlamsburg five here are true. Though beaten by Johns Hop- kins, 38-23, last night, the visitors are said to look like the class of Virginia college basket ball teams. , Silverman, a forward, scored 248 points for William and Mary last sea- son, when critics accorded the team the championship of the State, and it is said that he has lost none of his ability to sink the ball. Silverman will be surrounded by four other veterans tn varsity com- petition—Sauerbran, forward; But- ler, center, and Light and Capt. Winn, guards. All but Winn now are putting tn thelr second vear on the varsity team, while Winn is playing a third term. rhe Catholic Freshmen will oppose Business High tn a preliminary to to- night’s main attraction, starting at 7:15 o'clock. The varsity contest will get under way about an hour later. The Freshmen and Business were to have met yesterday, but their date was shifted so as to provide a prelim- inary for tonigi.t’s game. Jack Clarke, former Cardinal base- ball star, is coaching the yearling bas- keters. He has selected two teams of about equal strength from a_ large squad of candidates and will use both combinations in each game. William-Mary Tossers Easy for Hopkins, 38-23 Special to The Washington Post. Baltimore, Md., Dec. 17.—Johns Hop- kins had mo trouble defeating Willlam ,;and Mary in their basket ball game to- night, 38 to 23. The Blue Jays, in thelr second game of the season, again play- ed good basket ball. They were never sensational but always effective. Will- lam and Mary's players were too small to cope successfully with the rangier and heavier Baltimoreans. J. Hopkins G FG P'W. and M. Pasarew, , & 2 BIStiverman. ...

Nationals Lead Le ague In Men Left on Bases Although Washington Club finished fourth in team-batting last season, that it did not benefit as it should from its attack is indicated by the “left on base” figures, which show that more Nationals were stranded than members of any other team, Eleven hundred and fifty-nine were left, as against 1,122 Yankees, 1,132 Mackmen and 1,130 Brownies. The Red Sox had the least left on the sacks, but they did not have as many base-runners, In number of. hits and total bases, the Nationals finished fourth, being third in the number of stolen bases, with 110. The White Sox led, with 139, while the Tigers pilfered 113. Washington’s percentage was the highest, however, as only 59 were caught stealing during the season, While Detroit and Chicago were charged with 77 and 82 failures, re- spectively. B. C. STANDARDS SCORE. The Standards won over the St. Jos- eph's last night, 19 to 11, at the Boys Club. Ferguson and Panella were the high scorers.

F Joe Lesser, the City Club’s batter- ing bantam, doesn’t create a panic among the contenders for the na- tional championship of nis class at Boston next spring, his manager, Joe Bateman, and members of the club will moan one big chorus of blues. For Joe, they proclaim, is the niftiest plece of boxing machinery bullt along lightweight lines that this city has seen since the days of the late Tommy Lowe, who, incidentally, was an uncle of Joe. They point to his record of 35 victories, 14 by knockouts, which he has compiled in his brief career of two and a half years and then ask you to argue against their claims. Nobody will offer a dispute in the matter, probably, and Joe himself is silent. He's only hoping—and helping his hopes by religiously following out the instructions of the veteran Bate- man, who once before .. his long career as boxer and trainer saw one of his pupils reach an amateur championship. Henry Lamar, of Western High School, won the national lght-heavyweight title under Bateman’s wing in 1925 and 1926. He was the first Washingtonian ever to scale championship heights In boxing. Recollections of the fame of his uncle spur Lesser on in his train- ing, and the hard-hitting 19-yvear- old Hebrew lad is anxious to do as well in the ring as did Tommy Lowe. The boy's uncle twice de- feated Kid Williams when the latter was in his prime. A. A. U. Bantamweight Title Set as Goal for Joe Lesser COURT SQUAD - AT G.

Day ; tow | Last Sale| Call Money. FEW CARRIERS IN DEMAND New York, Dec. 17 (AP.) — Trading was dull and price movements chiefly downward in the bond market today, Total sales were only $8,031,000. Time money held to the previous high levels, Although call money was easier, trad- ers apparently found little to encour- age them to increase commitments. The general market heaviness was noticeable especially in the foreign list, where Latin-American bonds sagged in Sympathy with the decline in Bolivian government issues on selling influ- enced by threats of war with Paraguay. More than 84009000 of the govern- ment 8s sold down nearly 3 points and a smaller amount of the 7s yielded about 4 points. Coppers, oils and utilities were among the weaker issues in the gen- eral list. Andes and Anaconda Copper 7s were forced down about 2 paints each, reflecting the heaviness of cop- per stocks. Barnsdall 6s led the de- cline of oil issues with a net loss of slightly more than 2 points, Interna- tional Telephone & Telegraph convert- ible 414s lost a point and other utili- ties showed smaller gains. A few rails were in demand at slightly higher levels, among them Mis- sourl Pacific 5s G, Atlanta & Birming- ham 4s, Central Pacific first 4s, New York Central debenture 4s, New Haven 4s and Northern Pacific 6s B.

More Precious than Jewels Those who want their Christ- mas gifts to be lasting evidences of their kindly thoughts are wont to give diamonds, pearls and other precious gems. But we may suggest a gift as lasting, which, at the same time will bring memories of the giver twice a year. Many of our clients give one or more of our First Mortgage Notes to those whom they hold dear, for this gift is lasting, stable, and twice a year brings an emissary, in the form of an interest check, to renew the greetings of Christmas. And the fact that these notes can be purchased in denomina- tions of $100, $500 and $1,000 makes them available for any purse. They are here, how, awaiting you.

FIRST OF CONFERENCES MAPS OUT PROCEDURE Company Officials Asked to Submit Views on Bureau and Maltbie Reports. The so-called Wilson plan for merg- ing the local street railway companies ts not satisfactory to the special sub- committee of the Senate District com- mittee, Senator Capper, of Kansas, the chairman, announced yesterday at the first of a series of conferences on the merger question. About all that the subcommittee did at yesterday’s conference was to reach @ decision as to procedure. The re- ports of Dr Milo R. Maltbie. New York utilities expert, and the Bureau of Efficiency were not discussed. The subcommitete directed the trac- tion officials to prepare a statement outlining their “reaction” to the Maltbie and bureau reports. This will be done today. Harley P. Wilson, owner of the Washington Rapid Transit Co, and an officer in the North American Co., giant New York holding company which would dominate the merged company, announced after the confer- ence that the statement will point out the “fallacies” in the Maltbie report. Concessions Are in Doubt. Wilson was asked by reporters if he and the other traction officials were ready to make any concessions in order to get a merger resolution through at the short session, but he refused to commit himself. He said that he thought that his plan for a merger “should” be the basis of any merger legislation, but that he was not sure that it would. This was taken to indicate that he would be willing to modify the plan somewhat, “The chances are 99 to 1 that there will be a merger,” Mr Wilson said. In telling the assembled traction of- ficials that the subcommittee did not like their merger plan, Senator Capper made it clear that this statement was based on the sentiment manifested at an informal discussion of the plan which the members of the subcom- mittee had Saturday. Valuation Stumbling Block. Speaking entirely for himself after yesterday’s conference, Capper said: “I would like to see a merger go through, but I could not accept the $50,000,000 valuation or the power clause in the present plan.” Yesterday’s conference was entirely harmonious. Former Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo, who is Harley P. Wilson’s counsel, could be seen talking amiably with Dr. Maltbie, whose report condemned the Wilson merger plan. Senator King, of Utah, congratulated Brice Claggett, McAdoo’s law partner, on his marriage to the Iatter’s daughter, Sally McAdoo. The five members of the merger sub- committee were present. Capper, King, Vandenberg (Republican) of Michigan, Blaine (Republican) of Wis- consin, and Glass (Democrat) of Vir- ginia In front of each of them was a printed copy of the reports of Dr. Maitbie and the Bureau of Efficiency Herbert D. Brown, chief of the Bu- reau of Efficiency, sat on either side of Capper during the conference, but neither was called upon to talk. Senator Capper aoes not Delieve it will be possible to have another hear- ing until after the Christmas recess When the traction men have submitted their reply to Maltbie’s report, a copy of it will be sent to Maltbie, so that he can prepare a rebuttal to it. This, in turn, will be given to the members of the subcommittee so that they will have all the arguments before them when they meet again. No decision has as yet been reached as to whether future hearings will be open. or behind closed doors, as was that of yesterday. Chairman Capper, however, is known to be in favor of open hearings. Airplane Remains Still In Air, Over Capital Thousands of Wshingtonians yester- day witnessed the unusual spectacle of an airplane apparently standing etill suspended in the air over the White House. The plane, piloted by Stuart Reese, of the Washington Airport, was flying over the city at an altitude of about 1,200 feet, carrying several passengers. At that height it ran into a headwind of about 45 miles an hour velocity. He throttled down his motor considerably, and the equalization of the wind and the forward force of the motor brought the plane to a standstill. It remained apparently immovable for about ten minutes. Center Market Firm Admits It Is. Bankrupt Acknowledgment of bankruptcy and consent to appointment of a receiver were given by the Briggs Packing Co., of the Center Market, yesterday in the District Supreme Court. Petitions to have the company adjudged bankrupt and for appointment of a receiver were filed by the N. Auth Provision Co., Jo- , Seph Phillips and Edward M. Tylor, The Auth Co. declared $3,866.39 was owed by the packing firm, while Phil- lips and Tylor claimed $398.42 and 62,450.26, respectively. George E. Sulli- van appeared for the petitioners, while the packing company’s acknowledgment was filed by Vernon B. Lowry. Sewer Workers Burned By Manhole Explosion Two colored men were injured yes- terday morning when gas that had col- lected in a manhole in the alley at 1121 Eighteenth street northwest, in whick they were working, exploded. ~ The two men—Tom Anderson, 28, 726 Second street southwest, and Charles Butler, 28, 222 Four-and-a- Half street southwest—were treated for burns at Emergency Hospital.

Odell S. Smith, chairman, appointed the following to conduct the inquiry: John Lewis Smith, F. W. A. Sommers, Dr, J. B. Gregg Custis, Lieut. Frank S W. Burke, Charles W. Morris and Wal- lace B. Robinson. The committee adopted a report sub- mitted by Rufus Pearson, recommend- ing the enactment of a deadly weapon law, amending the code now in force here. It would make it more difficult for persons to purchase deadly weapons and would require tull identification of the purchaser, The committee tabled a_ resolution which would have placed it on record as favoring the abolition of capital punishmtnt. No action was taken on a report on a boxing legalization law for the District, submitted by Matthew J O’Brien.

This bill also goes to the President, having already passed the Senate. Passage of the bill providing ditional judge here follows years agitation. At present there is a mendous congestion of csaes in District Supreme Court, and the justices are overwhelmed by work There has been no increase in number of judges since 1879 The population here at that time was about 177,000. Today it is three times that. Attorney General Sargent, passage of the bill, pointed out that the six judges now In the court have so much work that no one of them can 9e spared to handle condemnation cases in connection with the Govern- ment building program. He suggested that the additional Judge be given this class of cases The bills passed by the House yester- day came up under the unanimous consent rule. Under this rule an ob- jection by one member means .at a particular bill must po over to another day. The Capper-Stalker bill, providing a municipal airport at Gravelly Point, was one of the bills objected to. An- other was the Capper-Zihlman bill to give the District a new and more drastic vagrancy law. Representative Schaefer (Republican), Wisconsin, objected to the latter measure with considerable vehemence. ad- of tre- the Six an the in urging Abandoned Baby Is Not Identified 3-Week-Old Boy, Handed to Stranger, Unworried in Capital Hospital. Serenely unconscious that he is an object of public interest and that the far-flung machinery of the law has been set in motion in his behalf, 3- week-old “‘Teddy Doe” spends his time at Children’s Hospital, eating a little and sleeping a great deal. Since he was given by a well-dressed young woman in Unio) Station to Mrs. John Mahoney, of Buffalo, early Sun- day evening, to be held “for a few min- utes,” he has been in the care of the hospital, while efforts are being made to locate his mother. Mrs. Mahoney knows nothing of the case in which she figures so prominently, except that the young woman, whom she described as being about 18 years old, asked her to hold the baby while she telephoned The girl then disappeared in the direc- tion of the telephone booths and did not return. At the hospital yesterday it was said the boy is getting along very well and that no effort has been spared to identify him. Man Held in Shooting Case. A coroner’s jury yesterday held John Henry Day, colored, 37 years old, 643 Morton street northwest, for the action of the grand jury in connection with the death Saturday of Harry Smith, colored, 40 years old, 432 Neal Place northwest. Smith died in Freedmen’s Hospital from a gunshot wound receiv- ed during an altercation over a card game at Day’s home. Prisoner’s Poem Jails Him, Judge Says It Shows Guilt Denying he partook of intoxicating liquors and was without visible means of support, Thomas H. Powers presented Judge Isaac R. Hitt with a thirteen- verse poem he composed entitled “Whisky Did it All” to substantiate his defense when arraigned in Police Court yesterday on charges of vagrancy and intoxication. Judge Hitt read the poem and then pronounced Powers guilty of ‘oth charges. He fined thé itinerant poet $10 or, the intoxication charge and ordered him to post a $200 bond or serve twenty days in jail on-the vagrancy charge, | The prisoner was lodged in the District Jail last night. Powers declared he wrote the poem while in prison and gained a livelihood by selling copies of it on the streets. At the bottom of the poem a line read, “Price, 10 cents, or give what you please.” However, one verse of the de- nunciation of whisky proved a boom- erang to the writer. It read: Now, reader, let me tell you That this, my sad disgrace, Was caused by bad whisky and now f sadly roam, : Penniless, friendless, and that’s why tL have no home, se 7 INAUGURAL OFFICES.

Span Concern to Begin Delay Penalty Payment The Farris Engineering Co., of Pitts- burgh, today will begin paying $50 a day to the District as a penalty for its failure to complete the reflooring of the Highway Bridge. The time limit expired yesterday, and Capt. H. C. Whitehurst. Assistant Engineer Com- missioner, announced that the penalty would be levied, beginning late to- day and continuing until the work is completed, which, he estimated, will take another week. The company also will, have to pay the cost of District inspection on the overtime work. All structural work has been done, with the exception of one small patch on the draw. I-beams, flooring and as- phalt still is to be laid there, and asphalt still is to be laid on some of the section between the car tracks.

Police Lose Trail Of Vanished Girl nt Viola Quinn, 16, Ran Away, Neighbors Say, Because of Strict Parents. Police of Washington and Baltimore and several Maryland counties last night had failed to find 16-year-old Viola Quinn, of Croome, Md., who dis- appeared Friday from the Upper Marl- boro (Md.) High School. Police have searched marrlage records in an effort to run down a rumor that the girl had left home to be married. A fellow student yesterday told Sheriff Charles S. Early, of Prince Georges County, that he saw the girl climb into an automobile Friday afternoon and that the auto then headed in the direc- tion of Annapolis. It was brought out yesterday that the girl’s parents had refused to permit her to attend dances, have boy friends call at the house or take her out. The neighbors declare that they believe the girl rebelled and has run away. This theory is strengthened by the report that the girl quarreled with her par- ents Thursday night because they would not permit her to attend a show. 2 Men Permitted Gambling, Charge Six Patrons Escape Through Window as Police Stage Raids.
