Elizabethton, Tenn., April 7 (A.P.).— The influence of the American Federa- tion of Labor and all its allied organi- zations was pledged today by William Green, president, to the prosecution of alleged kidnapers of two labor organ- izers, who charge several Elizazethton citizens with forcing them to leave town. Green’s promise was made in a speech delivered here this afternoon to more than 3,500 persons. Shortly before he made his speech Green talked with the two organizers, Edward McGrady and Alford Hoffman, heard their version of the incident which brought him from Washington to Happy Valley and then made his public pledge. “They will be prosecuted to the full- est extent in criminal and civil courts,” the labor leader said, while the crowd cheered. There was no demonstration other than orderly applause. Workers from nearby rayon plagts packed the audito- rium. Many only recently returned to their jobs after a brief strike, which was the reason for the aryaniners’ pres. ence here. In addition to Green, Maj. George L Berry, president of the International! MELLETT SLAYER COMPANION CAUGHT Man Who Escaped in Ohio Jail Getaway Wounded in ‘Gun Battle.

Walton, aiias. William Morton, who escaped from the Ohio Penitentiary February 19 last, along with four other inmates. Four of the prisoners, among them Patrick McDermott, alleged slayer of Don R. Mellett, Canton, Ohio, editor, were recaptured within 24 hours. Under guard in a hospital here, Hea- ley or Walton told police that he was one of those who escaped from the Ohio prison. His description tallied closely with that of Walton and the identifica- tion was completed after a comparison of fingerprints. Healey was shot twice in last night’s encounter with detectives, but his wounds are not serious and he wil] be able to leave the hospital in a few days. Detectives from Ohio are on their way here with warrants and it was said his return to that State would be facili- tated by the authorities here. He was serving a long term in the penitentiary for robbing a man in Cleveland on De- cember 11, 1927. Prior to that he had been tried and convicted several times on charges of theft. . Healey. and an unidentified compan- ion engaged in a running fight with five detectives late last night. The of- ficers came upon them in a small city park and they took to their heels, fir- ing as they ran. After more than 50 shots had_ been fired Healey fell wounded. He was taken to a hospital, where it was first believed his wounds were serious. His companion was not captured, although police in an all-night roundup arrested 125 men for investigation. Burglars Kidnap Two; Steal Store’s $5,000 Chicago, April 7 (A.P.).Approximate- ly $5,000 was taken last night from the strong box of the Mange! Apparel Shop. one of a national chain. Two employes, found handcuffed, told police they had been kidnaped by six men and forced to reveal the hiding place of their firm’s money. Pressmen's Union: Paul Aymon, Chat- tanooga, president of the Tennessee Federation of Labor; W. C. Birthwright, secretary of the State federation; Mc- Grady and Hoffman also spoke at the mass meeting. Berry lives at Rogers- ville, Tenn. Green was to leave Elizabethton to- night for Chillicothe, Ohio, for a labor conference. “When your rights are assailed, when violence is used to attack the freedom and liberty of your people by men gov- erned by passion, the millions repre- sented by the Federation of Labor rise to your defense,” Green said. After his address Green held a con- ference with union leaders. They said they intended to confer with Hoffman and McGrady, and possibly draw up a list of “other alleged business men” who, the two said, had a part in the alleged kidnapings. Six Elizabethton business men have been charged with felonious assault in connection with the incidents. “They must be ptuny-minded men who think that by kidnaping two of our representatives they can destroy your faith,” Green shouted in his talk. “The perpetrators of this outrage will be brought to justice. * * “ They CONTINUED ON PAGE 3. COLUMN 2 JEWS ASK TEMPLE FOR MATION INIT Resolution for New Building Will Be Acted Upon by Brotherhoods Today. RABBI ASSAILS LAYMEN Establishment in Washington of a national temple for Jews was recom- mended to the opening session yes- terday of the third’ biennial conven- tion of the National Federation of TémMple “Brotherhoods at the Mayflower" Hotel. The proposal to erect a temple was made by Leon Pretzfelder, of Wash- ington.» Mr. Pretzfelder suggested that the national temple house the federa- tion’s*’ parent body—t Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the National Federation of Temple Brother- hoods and the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods. This recommendation may be mold- ed into a resolution and acted upon before the convention ends tonight. Mr. Pretzfelder, in recommending the establishment of the temple, predicted that the next generation will witness the absorption of all Jews into one synagogue. Criticism of both rabbis and laymen was voiced at yesterday afternoon's s¢s- sion by Rabbi Isaac Landman, editor of the American Hebrew. Rabbi Land- man’s remarks precipitated a heated discussion in which a number of rabbis and laymen participated. So sharp was this debate that at one juncture it was jocularly observed that boxing gloves would have to be produced. Rabbi Landman raised the ire of many of the delegates when he accused laymen of trying to conduct congrega- tions as business enterprises. “These laymen,” he said, “expect the rabbi to be an executive preacher, rep- resentative Jew. civic leader, orator educator and everything else.” “But,” went on Rabbi Landman. “where we have uneducated elders in the synagogue we can no’ expect much from the children. The rabbi’s defici- encies arise from lack of leisure for study, due to demands upon his time The rabbi should be a teacher, rather than a preacher,” he asserted. Rabbi Landman challeneged the brotherhods to assume the task of ag the Torah back to the Jewish ayman. “To achieve this end,” he said, “the synagogue will have to be reconstituted CONTINUED ON PAGE 4, COLUMN 2. Baltimore Archbishop to Be One of Eight Raised, Is Understanding. Rome, April 7 (U.P.).—Eight new car- dinals—four Italian and four foreign-- are scheduled for nomination by the Pope at the consistory which will ve held in the middle of May. One of the new cardinals probably will be an American. While the sacred college now num- bers 56 and is divided between 29 Ital- jans and 32 non-Italians, it would re- quire 8 new Italian cardinals to bring the Italian membership up to its usual number. It was regarded as certain today, how- ever, that the Pope would create four new foreign cardinals in order to off- | set any criticism regarding the Lateran treaty. by which the long-standing Vat- ican dispute with the Italian govern- “| ment was ended.

Curley to Receive Red Hat In May, Say Rome Rumors NEARING BEGING ON WASHINGTON NAPORT TODRY Experts to Tell Congress Joint Committee of Necessity. ANSWERS ARE ASKED TO 4 VITAL QUERIES Government of District Will Be Represented by. Davison. SUPPORT OF HOOVER CLAIMED FOR PLAN President Known to Believe Capital Is Destined to Be Great Terminal. The movement for a municipal air- port for Washington will reach the ac- tion stage this morning when a con- gressional joint committee opens hear- ings at the Capitol. The hearings will be held in the office of the committee on territories and insular possessions. and will start at 10 o’clock. Senator Hiram Bingham, of Connecti- cut, who will preside, says he expects the committee will recommend an air- port of which both the Nation and Washington may be proud. Among those who have been asked to appear before the committee are two of the outstanding airport experts in the United States, Maj. Jack Berry. director of the municipal airport in Cleveland, and Lieut. Nathaniel Duffy. director of the big airport in Buffalo. See Vital Terminal Here. Both Berry and Duffy were inter- viewed recently when Maj. D. A. Da- vison, Assistant Engineer Commisston- er of the District;. Robert J. Cottrell executive secretary of the Board of Trade, and a representative of The Washington Post made an inspection tour of the airports in Cleveland, De- trett- and Buffalo: —e —— Maj. Berry thinks that Washington is destined to become a highly impor- tant terminal for air traffic. Conse- quently, he says, the city should have the finest kind of municipal airport Lieut. Duffy agrees with Maj. Berry. In the course of the hearing. the joint committee will seek the answers to these questions: First—How much need is there now for an airport, and how much need will there be in the future? Two—To what extent will the vari- ous Federal departments and the Dis- trict government use the airport, and to what extent will private, commercia! and mail fliers use it? © Three—How large should the airport be, and where should it be? Four—How much should it cost? Has President’s Support. The District government will be rep- resented at the hearings by Maj. Davi- son. In the last month he has been busy traveling and gathering informa- tion for the enlightenment of the com- mittee. Experts from four Federal depart- ments also will appear before the com- mittee. These departments are War, Navy. Agyiculture and Commerce. The belief is now that airpcrt legis- lation is virtually certain to be enact- ed by the Seventy-first Congress. That it will be approved at the White House is a foregone conclusion, for President Hoover is extremely interested in see- ing an airport established here. He thinks that Washington is destined to become one of the four or five great air terminals in the country. Gem Thefts Laid To Broker-Burglar Los Angeles Man ‘Took $300,000 Worth in Six Years, ' Claim. Los Angeles, A)... 7 (A.P.). — Police detectives said today that Walter M. Deutsch, alleged jewelry broker by day and jewelry burglar by night, has con- fessed to more than 100 robberies, in which he obtained $300,000 worth of valuables. Detective Lieut. B. R. Steed said many motion picture players were victimized in Deutsch’s six years of activity, part of which time he disposed of his jew- elry in New York, where he posed as a ' broker. Steed said that among picture stars’ homes listed by Deutsch las having been burglarized by him were those of Jackie Coogan and Jack Pickford. Value of jewels taken from the Pickford and Coogan homes was set at $80,000. Diamonds and jewelry valu- ued at $5,000 were recovered from the sewer in Deutsch’s home after his ar- rest several days ago. He is held under charges of burglary. ‘Monkey-Gland Theory Is Denied by Surgeons Berlin, Apri] 7 (U.P.).—Serge Voro- noff’s famous monkey gland operation must be considered discredited. the noted surgeon.

LOWMAN DRY KILLING STATEMENT ASSAILED Antiprohibitionists’ Head Brands It Perversion of Known Facts. ACTION BY PRESIDENT IS TINKHAM DEMAND Says Oath of Office Requires Enforcement of 14th and 15th Amendments. By CARLISLE BARGERON. There was renewed firing on the pro- hibition front yesterday. Taking ad- vantage of the Sunday lull, three guns went into action. From his home in Chicago, Repre- sentative Michaelson, who voted for the Jones act and then was found to be under indictment in Jacksonville, Fla, for smuggling liquor. issued his first formal statement. Representative Tinkham, of Massa- chusetts, the most redoubtable foe of prohibition in the House now that John Philip Hill and “Jimmy” Gallivan are gone, called on President Hoover to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments and charged that the eighteenth was enacted by subterfuge. The Association Against the Pro- hibition Amendment, inspired to re- newed activity by. recent prohibition happenings which brought the wet cause out of a decided slump, took issue with Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Lowman’s optimistic retital of prohibition killings. Text of Michaelson Denial. Michaelson’s stalement was intended as x detailed dential of the charges against him. In a‘telegram to The Post he said: “I deem it my duty to give to mem- bers-elect of the House of Represen- tatives of the Sevénty-first Congress of which I am also a member-elect my constituents of the Seventh Con- gressional District of Illinois and the people of the country at large the truth and facts concerning this matter. '“First—My trunks and baggage trans- ported to the United States from Cuba did not contain any intoxicating liquors of any sort or character. “Second—My trunks and baggage upon arrival at the port of Key West contained no intoxicating liquor of eany kind. “Third—My trunks and baggage transported in the United States did not contain any intoxicating liquor. “Fourth—I committed no offense against the Government of the United States. “Fifth—I am not guilty of any charge contained in the indictment. “Sixth—At the bar of justice I will establish beyond a possibility of doubt the truth of this, my statement.” Refuses to Amplify Words. { An Associated Press dispatch from Chicago said a reporter called Michael- son’s attention to the fact that he did not deny there was liquor in his bag- gage at Jacksonville. “You have my statement,” reported as replyingt “But it does not deny that there was liquor in the baggage at Jacksonville ” “I do not wish to discuss it.” So it is indicated that his defense may be that some one put it in without his knowledge. The charges against him are that there were 6 quarts of whisky, 5 quarts of assorted liquors and a smal] keg of barbaucourt. If any action is planned to prevent Michaelson from taking his seat in Congress until the charges are cleared up there has been no evidence of it. Neither is there any possible action against Representatitve Morgan, of Ohio, who has been getting unfavor- able publicity in New York. The statement by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Lowman that moved Curran, president of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, to vigorous speech, was contained in his report a few days ago on the number he was ANY PLANE OVER L NEW BATTLE IMPEN yg Bomb for Roosevelt Found in Postoffice ’ — — —— — — — — TOS BR SP — — Fuse Ignites as Container Is Struck by Broom Porter Wields.

HAS BUSY WEEK AHEAD (Associated Press.) President Hoover had another day of rest yesterday in preparation for an extremely busy week, during which he must deal with the latest and most se- rious development in the Mexican situ- ation and complete the message he is to send to the special session of Con- gress next week. As the Mexican revolt has developed, the Chief Executive has followed it closely, especially those incidents af- fecting the American Government. He is expected to give immediate approval to the steps taken by the State and War Departments for the protection of Americans in and around Naco and ‘io keep the American side clear of bellig- erents. Since Mr. Hoover was absent from Washington Saturday while the un- toward incidents were taking place around the American border town, he will confer today with Secretary Stim- son so as to acquaint himself with the new situation both at Naco and at oth- er points in the war-infested zone ,f Mexico. The address to Congress, which is to deal almost, if not entirely, with farm relief and tariff legislation, is in the state of revision and is expected to be in final form within a few days. It probably will not be transmitted to tne Capitol until Tuesday as both houses have to organize on the opening day. ————————— — the State of Chihuahua before the ad- vancing federals. | Rebel leaders, however, denied that Chihuahua would be left to the fed- erals without resistance. Members ot! the staff of Gen. Jose Gonzalo Escobar pointed out that Gen. Marcelo Caravo had been left in the state capital, Chi- huahua City, with 4,000 troops. Caravo. it was said, is to attempt to stay the federal advance northward. while Gen Escobar joins the rebel forces in Sonora that are under the leadership of Gen Fausto Topete. One of the first steps in the new campaign, it was learned, will be a con- centrated attack on Naco, Sonora.

Court-Martial Goes to Sleep Over Rebel General’s Fate Guards and Prisoners Fraternize at Jimenez as Barrera Passes Cigarettes to Captors and Men Open Sardines With Bayonets; Verdict Spares Insurgent’s Life. Jimenez, Chihuahua, Mexico, April 6 (A.P.) (delayed)—-A Mexican federal court-martial] went to sleep here today while a rebel general awaited a verdict on his life. Gen. Federico Barrera, once comman- der of the federal garrison at Saltillo, and more recently one of Gen. Escobar’s revolutionary chiefs, went through a twelve-hour ordeal before the military tribunal. but the court-martial decided it lacked jurisdiction. The decision means that Barrera will not be exe- cuted because the board was an ex- traordinary one called only to consider cases meriting execution. Evidence in the case was not deemed sufficient to justify that penalty. Barrera was caught in the rebel de- bacle at La Reforma Wednesday, in which thousands were killed. His trial was grim, but lacked any suggestion of ruthlessness or personal hostility. A guard of twelve, with fixed bayo- nets, stood ready at a theater while a jury of six generals awaited Barrera. After a clerk had read the articles of impeachment, Barrera arose and under- went a long interrogation. With a fir- ing squad appearing a possibility. he was constrained, choosing his words carefully at first. But the Latin con- versational talent soon spiced his nar- rative. All members of the court were grave and courteous and, if anything. sympathetic. The rebel general said he marched with Escobar against Monterey in the belief that he was going to fight the rebels. After the die was cast, he said. he could not safely desert. A long re- cess was taken while orderlies rushed to Camargo, 50 miles away, to obtain a deposition from Gen. Benigno Serrato, who captured Barrera. During this period all formality was lost. The guards unfixed their baycmats to open Sardine cans, the members of the court- martial accepting cigarettes from Bar- rera’s pack. Then the court stretched out on benches, their snores punctu- ated with the lively conversation that Barrera carried on with a judge. Finally every member of the court went to sleep and Berrera and the correspon- dent sat for long hours with the guard alone. At daybreak the deposition came and after another examination the prosecu- tor and the defense attorney spoke five minutes each. Barrera also occupied, the floor about the same length of time before the court retired to deliberate. Awaiting the verdict, Barrera paced the floor. The sun just had arisen as the decision assuring life came. The prisoner, the guards and the court passed out of the door of the old thea- ter, under bunches of orange crepe paper. the remnants of some forgotten festival. The federals yesterday occupied Par- ral, the biggest industrial city in Chi- huahua, and Santa Rosalia, where the largest power dam is located. They now can deprive the Chihuahua rebels of power and light. Judge Moscowitz Inquiry On Today New York Federal Jurist Faces Congress Quiz Into Decisions. New York, April 7 (A.P.).—The con- gressional investigation into the judi- cial acts of Federal Judge Grover M. Moscowitz, of the Eastern district of New York, will begin its sessions tomor- row morning after several days of pri- vate investigation. This is the first time a judge of one of the two Federal! districts of New York City has faced a congressional com- mittee appointed to determine whether his judicial acts warrant filing charges looking toward an impeachment trial by the United States Senate. Judge Francis A. Winslow, whose judicial acts also have been criticized, resigned last week. Howard C. Dickinson, former assist- ant district attorney of New York Coun- ty, and Kenneth F. Simpson, who rep- resented the Government at the trial of Thomas W. Miller and Harry M Daugh- erty. have been retained by the com- mittee as counsel. John W. Davis, for- mer Ambassador at London and Demo- cratic presidential candidate in 1924, has been retained by Judge Moscowitz.

Original Draft of Einstein ’ Theory oe to Wesleyan University Acquires ee of Noted German Through Joint Gift of George W. Davison and Albert W. Johnston, Financiers and School Trustees. Middletown, Conn., April 7 (A.P.).— Wesleyan University has acquired the original manuscript of Prof. Albert Einstein’s new theory combining the laws of mechanics and the laws of elec- tricity. The document, consisting of eight ep in the Olin library at the university. Dr. James L. McConaugh, president of Wesleyan, announced today that the manuscript was the joint gift of George W. Davison, New York banker, who is president of the university board of trustees, and Albert W. Johnston, New. York financier and chairman of the Wesleyan trustees committee on build- ings and grounds. Mr. Davison is president of the Central Union Trust Co. of New York. Immediately after the new theory had been published, the announcement said, Mr. Davison instructed his com- pany’s representative in Berlin to de- termine whether the manuscript could be acquired. Negotiations were carried on with Mrs. Einstein, and through her the scientist agreed to sell the paper to Mr. Davison, whose representative ex- plained that it would be entrusted to the custody of an American university. “The only interest which Prof. Ein- stein had in the financial aspects of the transaction,” continued the announce- ment, “was that its sale should realize sufficient money to enable him and his wife to carry on the welfare work among university students in which both have long been much interested The price, which Prof. and Mrs. Einstein regarded as satisfactory. had no rela- tion to the pricelessness with which in time the manuscript itself will assured- ly come to: be held. “The seventh page of the document bears Prof. Einstein’s autograph. The eighth contains expressions of thanks to his coworkers.” CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. will find out whether crimes of that kind can be committed and go un- punished.” Charlotte, N.

It is regarded as quite likely, however, that decisions in the impor- tant cases which might affect the stock markets will not be announced until late in the afternoon, after the markets close. The court has never deviated from its set custom of having the junior justices in years of service read their opinions first, thence to the older justices, with Chief Justice Taft reading his decisions and the orders of the court at the end. Taft or Holmes May Read. In these important cases, moreover, there is considerable likelihood that Mr. Taft or Justice Holmes, the 88- year-old patriarch of the bench both in service and age, may be chosen to deliver the decision. The number of opinions to be announced after a four- week récess for conferences sometimes reach as high as twenty, and the read- ing of sO many probabaly will take from two to three hours. The celebrated “pocket veto” case appealed by the Okanogan Indian tribe of Washington, which involves the fate of the Norris resolution for Government operation of the great Muscle Shoals power-nitrate plant, is also under ad- visement. But the case was argued just a day before the court recessed a month ago, and it is expected the court will take more time to consider the constitutional questions involved and write its opinions. Court Debars Baby Of Alleged Slayer Will Not Be Allowed in the Room When Mother Goes to Trial. Poughkeepsie, April 7 (N.Y.W.N.8.). When Mrs. Fela Palick goes on. trial here tomorrow for first-degree murder, she will not be allowed to have ner 2-month-old son in the courtroom. Supreme Court Justice George Taylor, in ruling on the objection of the dis- trict attorney that the baby’s presence might unduly influence the jurors, de- ciaed also to exclude from the court- room the relatives of Henry Gagnon, whom she is accused of murdering. The baby. who Mrs. Palick says is Gagnon’s son, was born early in Fev- ruary. while policemen stood guard over the mother’s room. Gagnon was shot last August when he stepped out of a Chinese laundry on Main street, met Mrs. Palick and laughed at her. Mrs. Palick. who was the proprietor of a small restaurant, said that Gag- non had deserted her when she learned that divorce proceedings had been started by her husband, Samuel Palick, of Beacon.

Richmond, Va., April 7 (A.P.)—An accidental discovery in local railroad yards today led to the seizure of ap- proximately 4.000 quarts of alleged bottled-in-bond liquors, which were being shipped in 417 boxes labeled “tomatoes” from Hollywood, Fla., to Newark, N. J. Bearing labels of well-known brands of liquor, the shipment was stored in the Henrico County Jail. Several hun- dred persons watched the proceedings, which took hours. Police said they had no definite clews and regarded the shippers’ names as fictitious. There were 530 cases in the freight car, 113 of which did contain tomatoes. A cracked truck on the box car led to the liquor discovery. After car re- pairers had worked on it, a decision was made to transfer the “tomatoes” to an- other car. This transfer had been par- tially completed before the attention of railroad employes was attracted by drips from one of the cases. D. B. Boggett, an inspector on the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad, re- ported it, and Henrico County police were sent to the scene.

Goodrich, president of the board, said the conclusion was reached as a cOmpromise on conflicting views. The board, which heard testimony by Dr, Meyer and Dr. De Graff and several students in a closed hearing, was in session for eighteen hours. Long Service Is Factor. A prepared statement issued at the conclusion of the hearing stated that Dr, Meyef was to be reinstated because of his “long service to the university and our conviction that the offense for which he was suspended will not be repeated. The full board held with its executive poard that “the promiscuous circula- tion of the questionnaire, by every tenet of sound sense and common de- cency, should have been suppressed” and that the investigation “by its very mature tends to create the condition which it is alleged to correct.” Likewise, the board held with its executive board that it could find “no justification for an inquiry that from its very nature could not produce any scientifically valid conclusions nor any facts likely to be of substantial value.” Precautions Against Recurrence. “In order to protect the university from a recurrence of similar indiscre- tions,” the board's statement continued, “it is recommended that the general fac- ulty establish, by committee or other- wise, some system providing for the careful supervision of all investigations affecting students. It is further ordered that the secretary be instructed to de- stroy all answered questionnaires now sealed and deposited in the vault of the university. About 100 answefs to the question- naire had been returned by students when an investigation into their cir- culation was instituted by President Stratton D, Brooks, who branded the research as a “fool idea.” Today’s action was final and, it is believed, writes the final chapter in the sex questionnaire upheaval.

Looking underneath the table, he saw that the package was smoldering. He paced his feot on it in an ort to extinguish what he thought was a small fire. He crushed the box, and in doing so broke the wrapping. His suspicions were at once aroused The B ay was carried into the office Of J. T. Morris, assistant superin- tendent of mails. Morris, at his e, was informed of the find by telephone. and gave instructions that it was to be laced under guard. In the meantime. ter A. McGurty, superintendent of mails, was also notified. Charlies H. Clarahan, inspector in charge of this division; Frank A. But- ler, veteran inspector specializing in ; criminal cases, and the local police were notified. Almost immediately @ score of detectives in charge of Deputy Chief Inspector Mulrooney and Inspec- tor August Mayer, in charge of detec- tives for Manhattan, were dispetohed to the postoffice. Inspector Mayer with Postal Inspéc- tor Butler cut the light rope twine on the package. ; A yellow paper wrapper waa carefully spread out and laid aside. Pasted on it was a piece of white paper which bore the hand printed address, “Han. F. Do Roosevelt, Mansion Houge, A)- bany.” In the upper left hand oorner was the return address, “MN. Bup, No. 459 Twenty-ninth street, New York City.” : * Inquiries made at No. 450 both on Kast and West Twenty-ninth street, failed to reveal anyone living under the name “Bup.” With the arrival of Inspéctor James A. Callahan, of the division of com- bustibles of the Bureau of Fire Pre- vention, who had also been summoned, the lid of the candy box was lifted. Inside was found a half pound of Canawba or beeswax. Imbedded in this wax, fully one inch, was a piece of galvanized iron pipe 4 inches iong, threaded on both ends and ¢apped at each end with screw caps. Ignition Method Disclosed. In the left hand dorner of the box was an improvised equipped with four ordinary household matches. The phosphorus head of these matches were placed directly on a sheet of sandpaper. According to Inspector Callahan, Butier, Mayer and other ex- perts, the matches were so placed that they would ignite by the friction and burn the,inflammable wax. Imbedded in the wax was a detonat- gg Li wage to a fuse placed so a would cause the cylinder to explode. or © Inspector Callahan told newspaper men after his examination. that.the pipe, given as 1 inch in diefheter and ¢ inches long. contained “three-quar- rere, Of & stick or 6 ounces of dyna- contents ** 0 e had not been e ned, and it = tive Louls Herman, of the bomb squad, who aided today in the investigation, were assigned tonight to make a search for police characters suspected in pre- vious bombing outrages.

Inspector Butler gave hia opini that the package was probably placed on a street letter box and pic up by a letter carrier and brought into the neral postoffice. Me said that he did not believe, if the bomb does contain a high explo- sive, that the maker or sender weuld have carried the package through the streets to the postoffice. On this theory, according to Inspec- tor Butler, the package could have been mailed in any séction from Pifty- ninth street to Fourteenth streét, be- fore reaching the office at Thirty-third street and hth avenue. The candy box. a type used by the better class of confectioners, was 8 inches long and 4 inches wide and 2% inches deép. It is believed that the box had been disearded and picked up by the maker of the bomb. 27 Drowned in Tin Mine When Rains Burst Dam Hobart, Tasmania, April 7 (AP i Twenty-seven persons were believed drowned in the flooding of the Briseis tin mine caused by the bursting of & fam due to torrential rains.

However, if one expects his college French to enable him to get every phrase, he is doomed to disappointment. It is well. to carry the motion picture attitude of mind and struggle not with the intricacies of the language. The company is excellent throughout and—rare thing in musical comedy— every member of the cast can sing. There is no chorus, no dancing. Yet the performance holds the interest of persons who can only guess at what is being said. Mile. Sonia Alny, as Eva, is a viva- cious and charming leading woman with a light, true voice. Her songs are sung with a verve that puts them far ‘wove the average light opera class. George Foix, the harassed young man who playe Bastien, sings saccept- ably and does a ———— workman- like piece of acting. duet with Eva in the first act wes melodious end his solos were well received. His voice has no great power or range, but the quality is mellow. M. Servatius, the rolypoly father of Bastien, captures the hearts of the au- dience. His rubigund face is so ani- mated, hie gestures are so emphatic, that one laughs with him perforce. And Mille. Jane de Poumayrac, 45 Eva’s mother, is a capable foil for Bas- tien’s father. Her shrewish handling of her daughter when the latter de- murs at giving up Bastien when it is discovered he has no money is one of the high lights of the play. M. Padeuilhe, as Jean, the former suitor of Eva’s mother, reduced by the expense of his wooing to the position of butler in her household, handles a secondary part well, as does Mile. Ginia Barty as Melanie. The parts of the three gossipy sum- mer girls, Marguerite, Margot and Mag, are supernumerary, but Miles. Yvette Herbaux, Marion Gaillard and Alice Penven make the most of them. These thre@ girls do the work that the chorus ordinarily accomplishes in American musical comedy. If a criticism is to be made of the music it may be said that a sameness pervades most of the score, but it is fully up to the quality of the best American musical comedy. The songs are tuneful and airy: The lines are in the vein of clever French farce. Characteristic French passages are the conversation between mother and daughter and father and son when the sécret leaks out that neither family has a cent, and the be- trothal must be broken. Bastien is forced to give up Eva and marry an ugly women for her dowry, and Eva flirts with summer bachelors to obtain / funds to supply her mother. When Eva asks Bastien to describe his wife, he can not even remember the color of her eyes and hair, and as for his wedding night—it is too much, But — — — — — —— — — — —— — ERI A to save. | AICTIDARICE bes MT.

Se APPOINT BETTER JUDGES. The commission to be appointed by President Hoover to inquire into the Federal judicial system with a view to the better administration of justice is undertaking a task of enormous scope. The beneficial effects of the inquiry may not be apparent for several years, and in the end the quality of justice will be de- ‘termined, after all, by men and not by rules. The simplification of judicial pro- cedure will merely enable good judges to do their work better. It will not make ‘good judges out of poor ones. President Hoover can make an immedi- -ate start in improving the Federal courts, ‘without requiring the assistance of any ‘commission. When the public sees Fed- eral judges resigning in order to escape ‘impeachment its faith in the quality of justice is shaken, and the whole bench ‘suffers. Confidence in the integrity and ‘capability of the courts can be retained only by the appointment of judges of in- corruptible character and recognized ability, without regard to politics. The character of the Federal judiciary de- pends upon the President. Although the President must consult senators in regard to judicial appoint- ments, in order to insure their confirma- tion, it does not follow that he should accept the recommendations of senators in selecting judges. Federal judgeships should never be regarded as political patronage, nor should the political af- filiations of an individual be considered in connection with his appointment to the bench. If the President will select high- ly qualified judges and make it under- stood that politics has had no part in their selection they will be confirmed by the Senate. The Attorney General is the proper adviser of the President in the selection ef Federal judges. It is taken.for grant- ed that Attorney Genéral Mitchell will not permit politics to enter the Depart- ment of Justice. The public has full confidence in his judgment, and is well pleased to see a man of his high character at the right hand of the President. Mr. Hoover and Mr. Mitchell can make sure that no unfit man shall have a place on the Federal bench. This is a reform that can be put into effect immediately, with- out waiting for a tedious inquiry into the judicial system. That system might be reformed and made a model for the world, and yet if unfit judges were ap- pointed the quality of justice would be tainted. The finest ship in the world must -nevertheless have a good captain if it is’ to be well sailed. | Great and good judges find a way to administer justice. They are not frus- trated by antiquated rules or foolish precedents. They make good precedents themselves, and bend the rules to justice. - The Federal bench needs more strong in- dependent judges, who are not account- able to any one but the President for their appointment. * INVENTIONS BY CONVICTS. Early in March there was made public the story of Louis Clernt, Nebraska convict, _ master electrician and radio specialist, whose prison-made deVice may be the long-awaited static eliminator. Convicted in 1922 for bank 7 : : robbery, Clernt has until November, 1932, to serve. For years he had dreamed of a static eliminator, but it was not until he found him- self behind prison bars that he found time to work out the details of his idea. Now, it is } said, the device has been perfected to a point of efficiency in connection with battery-oper- ated sets, and Clernt has only to work out * car } — ‘details in order to adapt it to house-current He admits that it may not work per- fea go far toward eliminating the hisses that are so objectionabie in all * * rly this month it was announced in Balti- hat two inmates of the State Prison had a patent on a new type hydraulic | Washington ost. and Raymond Scott, gangster and highway robber, respectively. Allers was the theorist and Scott the technician in the development, and a model of their power plant is said to have worked efficiently in experimental tests. Its advantage lies in its economy of operation. Allers and Scott claim that the prison could be supplied with electricity from their plant at a cost of about $1,000 a year, as compared with the $70,000 now paid for current. It remains to be seen whether or not the Clernt static eliminator and the Allers-Scott power plant will be commercially practicable. The description of each sounds rather Utopian, but it may be that these men have hit upon valuable discoveries. Whether their devices are practicable or not, however, they will have served a useful purpose in giving their con- vict-inventors work to perform that will have helped them reestablish their self-respect. WASHINGTON AIRPORTS. President Hoover believes that Washington should have a municipal airport and that it should be made the model for the country. He believes, as a result of his experience as Secretary of Commerce, that the immediate future will become the aerial age. He knows that the city which does not make adeqyate provision for the handling of air traffic will suffer, and he does not want the Capital City to be passed over by the developing air trans- port. His interest in the development of a suitable airport is gratifying to Washington, for it knows that with the President behind a project it -will command the attention of Congress. * The special congressional committee formed to consider the need of a local airport, to plan for a development that will be adequate, and to establish, so far as is possible, an equitable basis for the distribution of its cost, is about to inaugurate hearings. A. three-man mission recently returned from an inspection tour of outstanding airports, undertaken to gain prac- tical knowledge of the problems that have faced other communities in the development of airports, to learn how they were solved, and to gain an insight into typical require- ments. The mission is prepared to lay before the congressional committee definite sugges- tions. Representatives of the several Govern- ment departments that will make use of the municipal field will also appear before the committee. They will detail the needs of their “respective branches, and their testimony will help to define an equitable distribution of the cost. With the President, department heads, civic and commercid® organizations, aud a crystal- lized public sentiment supporting the project, there is every reason td believe that Congress will be disposed to give early consideration to the report of its committee. A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY. A group of educators headed by Dr. Olin Templin, of the University of Kansas, has re- vived plans for establishment of a national university in Washington. It is planned to have a bill introduced at the next regular session of Congress appropriating $12,000,000 for that purpose. The’institution would be a university of the elite, taking only picked stu- dents from the universities of the country -and choosing faculty members from eminent educa- tors here and abroad. The sum asked represents a bequest of $25,000 for this purpose in the will of George Washington, plus interest to date. Dr. Temp- lin suggests that if the $51,000 refused by Washington for his services as commander in chief of the Revolutionary Army, with accumu- lated interest, were to be appropriated to the proposed national university it would have an endowment of $60,000,000. Numerous simi- lar arguments have been used in an attempt to induce Congress to approve the project. The Senate once appointed a committee to find out what became of the $25,000 bequest in Washington’s will, but so trace of the money could be found. The project of developing a higher institu- tion of learning in the National Capital in memory of George Washington is no doubt a worthy one. President Washington urged the establishment of such a university during his public life, and his bequest for the purpose should not be ignored, But there is already in the District the George Washington Univer- sity, which was so named in recognition of the wishes of the first President. Why not bestow the proposed endowment on George Washington University, which is already es- tablished“and quite safe from political influ- ences? This institution is badly in need of funds for buildings. With such an endow- ment it could become a fitting memorial to Washington and would meet his ideals of a national university. — — — — THE MASTER OF ARTS DEGREE. An esteemed New York contemporary has been taken gently but firmly to task for ap- pearing to cast undeserved aspersions on the academic degree of master of arts. The news- paper in question had written on its editorial page what the objector calls “the cold words.”’ ‘The M, A. degree has been a sort of academic orphan:” “Cool,” it may here be interpolated, ‘would be a more appropriate epithet than “cold.” The complainant, however, goes on to add: “You partially atoned by saying, ‘lat- terly the degree has tended to win a new re- spect.’ ”’ The writer of the letter of protest justifies her position—for she is of the feminine per- suasion—by detailing her own experience in the department of English and comparative literature at Columbia University. She de- clares that the professors there make it clear that the pursuit of an M. A. degree is not to be entered upon lightly or unadvisedly. ‘‘The requirements I had to meet,” she proudly states, were not only ten courses but also two examinations—a general and a special—and also ‘an acceptable essay on an approved sub- ject.’"’ It is evident that a degree so obtained is no refugium peccatorum. As a matter of fact, the master of arts is not merely a respectable but also a highly hon- orable degree. It is, as a rule, the highest de- gree which scholars in the older English and Irish universities seek to attain. Having won that they have no need to go on for the doc- torate. Omne tulit punctum may, in all truth, be applied to the man who is entitled to write after his name the magic abbreviations “M. A., Oxon,” or “M. A., T. C. D.” Even in this THE WASHINGTON POST: — —— country, where so much importance is de- servedly and properly attached to the degree of Ph. D. when honestly earned, it is note- worthy that some of the best educators in many of the most famous institutions of the higher learning have never sought a higher degree than the master of arts, and yet no one has ever suggested that either their teaching powers or their ability in research suffered from the lack of higher academic distinction. All honor to those students who legitimately achieve the doctorate; all honor, too, to those who, equally legitimately, gain the M. A., and are content to let it go at that. Each type has a splendid role to fill on the educational stage. ——— ⸗ ENFORCEMENT WITHOUT VIOLENCE. President Hoover is not in favor of fanati- cal enforcement of the prohibition law. He has indirectly warned all Federal dry agents that they must heed the provisions of the law in regard to search-and-seizure warrants, and that they must respect all. constitutional rights of citizens. It was never supposed that President.Hoover would sanction enforce- ment of prohibition by other than lawful means. He has emphasized the fact that this is only one of the laws that are:in need of more efficient enforcement. The smash-and-Vatter policy, such as that tried out in New York recently by Police Com- missioner Whalen, usually draws applause from the radical drys, but never gains favor with those interested in the orderly processes of Jaw. Such methods bring only discredit upon the law and tend to encourage violations. It is impossible to enforce any law without the liability of violence. Many individuals en- gaged in the bootlegging business are desper- ate characters. The most sane enforcement out effectively without casualties. What Presiéent Hoover is evidently striving for is ‘orderly, legal and efficient enforcement, in which violence will have no place unless there is flagrant defiance of the law. In that case the law should be enforced, at whatever cost. ee a —ñ —ñ —— ⸗ Cook County coroner protests against the pseudonym “‘hell’s hole” as applied to Chicago. But how can that coroner find time to talk? | HOTELS OF THE SKY | By REGINALD M. CLEVELAND In the New York World. After some three years of intensive effort, the hour of launching approaches for Great Britain’s two monster airships, R-100 and R- “101. One may leave her hangar next month —although it is not "yet determined which will be the first to take the air—and both great dirigibles will doubtless be seen over London in early summer before making their maiden long voyages. At first only one air- ship will be able to operate at a time, due to lack of sufficient skilled personnel to work both craft simultaneously, and also to the fact that: only one mooring mast is available. Views of the R-101, completing at Carding- ton, near Bedford, England, show her stream- line body, exterior arrangement and some of the details of her remarkable interior. She deserves: more fully than any aircraft yet evolved the appellation “‘floating hotel.“ With accommodations for 100 passengers and a crew of 48, the R-101 and her sister ship, which nears launching at Howden, present the com- fort features of a well-appointed hostelry or club. But instead of a landscape of still tran- quillity, one will see, through the outward- sloping windows of the promenade decks, a swiftly changing panofama by day and, by night, the myriad light dots of cities perhaps thousands of feet below. The monster dirigible is 724 feet long, with a maximum diameter of 131 feet 8 inches. She has a gas capacity of 5,000,000 cubic feet, giving a lifting power of 152 tons. To carry 29 tons of fuel, 38 main tanks have been provided, attached to the framework in- side the envelope, and, in addition, there are eleven compensating tanks which can be filled when a full passenger load is not on board. Quick emptying facilities have been provided for emergency and some of the main tanks have been fitted with a device by which their bottoms can be cut away in the manner of opening a tin can. For the first time in airship practice heavy oil-burning engines will be used in these ships. The fuel will have a flash point of 210 de- grees, a point which is held to greatly increase the factor of safety. Each of the five high- compression motors will develop 585 horse- power, with a maximum of 650. of fire hazard in these ships is brought home by the fact that passengers will be permitted to smoke and that a smoke room is a feature of the lower deck. It has an aluminum floor. Naturally, the lightest of available materials have been used in construction. The tubing is of stainless steel, solid drawn, and joined without welding. Duralumin and aluminum have been freely used, even in the galley, where they replace iron and steel in the cook- ing apparatus, and aluminum is used for the lighting fixtures. Ormamental columns are of balsa wood, one of the lightest woods known, while the walls of the two-berth cabins are of fireproof’ canvas fnterlined with a black ma- tetial. Rattan is the material of much of the furniture. If one of the novelties for comfort in air- ship travel will be the smoking privilege, an- other will be the fact that the cabins and pub- lic rooms of the airships will be heated and cooled to suit the conditions of temperature. Air is drawn in by an electric fan, and, for heating purposes, is passed across the face of one of the engine radiators. In warm weather the radiator is lowered outside the ship, and cooled air thus can. be supplied to the living quarters. The passengers of the R-101 will be. ac- commodated on two decks, of which the upper, excluding the promenades, has an area of 6,550 square feet. The lower deck hag an area of 1,730 square feet. A lounge, 60 by 32 feet, surrounded by green cane settees and flanked to port and starboard by promenades, features the upper deck. The floor is of pol- ished linoleum and the paneled walls are broken by columns in cream and gold. On this deck also are the dining saloon, with seating accommodations for 50 persons, sleeping cabins ahd wash rooms. On the lower deck are the smoke room, crew’s quar- ters, galley and chart room.®-The wireless room adjoins.

To the Editor of The Post—Sir: The Zonta Club, of Washington, D. C., here- by protests against the avowed and advertised intention of the N. Auth Provision Co., of this city, to locate a Slaughter house and live stock pens on property on Columbia pike and near Relee Station, in Arlington County, Va., or in any other location in that county, which does not have the approval of the Federal authorities and the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Com- mission. LOUISE R. STAMBAUGH. Radio in Canada. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: Pic- ture the plight of CAnada. The domin- jon has‘a few broadcasting stations, but in comparison with the better American stations they can. not be rated highly. Each night the wander- ing impulses that are cast far and wide by American stations find their way across the border, and Canadians have learned that the best features are to be obtained from, American stations. So each night Canadian families sit late listening to an American orchestra provided through the courtesy of the Dingus Tooth Paste Co. or the Dangus Motor Car, and the following day they are apt to fall victims of the broadcast advertising. Small wonder that Canada wants to do something about it. “We can not prevent American pro- grams from coming into Canada over the air,” said R. W. Asficraft, manager of the Trans-Canada Broadcasting Co.., recently, “but we can provide Canadian programs which are just as good as they are.” He suggests that licenses be granted’ to six 5,.,000-watt stations -(in contrast to the two such stations now operating) and to a number of 500-watt relay stations, al! of which would be hooked up as a network for chain programs of the sponsored va- riety. In that way, he suggests, Canada could provide its listeners with first- class Canadian entertainment and, in addition, thousands of Americans would tune in for Canadian programs. From the Canadian standpoint, Mr. Ashcraft makes an excellent suggestion Even American business men, who naturally-are interested in maintaining the advantage they now have, will be forced to admit that Canada will make a mistake if it does not act in some way to get a better break over the air for its produgts. J. F. RAWSON. Americans for American Ships. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: A new phase of the north Atlantic traffic war has been brought up by Senator Jones in his criticism of American ambassadors who travel to and from their diplomatic posts on foreign vessels. Senator Jones, who is chairman of the Senate commerce committee, has complained to the State Department of this practice, in the belief that if diplomats travel on foreign vessels the effect of the Ship- ping Board’s extensive advertising of American liners will be largely wasted. The incident emphasizes the injense struggle which is going on among the shipping interests of the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy for the north Atlantic passenger traffic. Each of these countries is de- termined to capture its share of the profits, and is investing large amounts of capital in palatial liners for this purpose. Germany’s plans are seriously hampered by the burning of the liner Europa, which was to put less luxurious liners out of*business. A new British White Star liner, larger and longer than any ship afloat, is being con- structed at Belfast for transatlantic trade. The French Compagnie Generale Transatlantique has outlined plans for construction of the largest and fastest liner in the world. Italian companies, with full backing of the government, are likewise making extensive plans for capturing a portion of this trade. It is evident that, with this competi- tion, the loyalty of American citizens and governmental officials is necessary to enable this country to develop its fleet. Citizens of all the competing countries are loyal to ships flying their “|s Marriage a Failure Because Black — A 47, * * - Te Can't Be White? By ROBERT QUILLEN PREACHER in Bridgeport gave a party and invited one hundred couples, married by him years ago, to attend and explain the causes of matrimonial felicity. When married people are asked why they are happy in double har- ness, most of them reply, “Because we love one another.” b sa But love is an effect, not a cause. In the young it is a dream-world ecstasy—the result of nature’s strategy to preserve a species. long happily married it is a sublime friendship—the result of mutual admiration and habit. A marriage based on love alone has no chance of success. Those who would be happy in partnership must, first of all, possess similar tastes. If one enjoys baseball, jazz music, far journeys, dancing, cards and liquor, while the other abominates these things and finds his joy in prayer meeting, classical music, quiet evenings at home, the study of philosophy and the game of chess, the marriage is doomed from the beginning. Married people seldom differ so widely in their likes and dislikes, for people of such contrasting tastes have little opportunity to get ac- quainted with one another; but the exaggeration served to make the point clear. The more tastes they have in common, the better their chance of happiness; the fewer things they can enjoy together, the more quickly love will die. The second essential is money—not wealth, but money enough to provide the luxuries essential to a pleasant life, to prevent suffering and shame, to encourage contentment and ‘self-respect by affording the advantages enjoyed by friends and acquaintances. Brave young people who begin in poverty will find it a happy adven- ture if they work up quickly. But poverty borne too long becomes a blighting curse, and those wh have a capacity for the enjoyment \ * of luxuries grow bitter in hardship and in bitterness blame one another for failure. Love must be based on admiration, and People do not admire failure. Given similar tastes and standards, and money enough to pay the rent on time and avoid humiliation, any marriage will be a success if it begins in love. But those who can’t pay the piper and those tastes—in literature, morality, jokes, who have contrasting music and friends—have no more chance of continued happiness than a dove would have if caged with a hungry . hawk. f ⸗ Love is blind, but it doesn’t satisfy hunger, and it doesn’t make the fox-and the stork enjoy the same diet. (Copyright, 1929.) own flag, and it is quite right that they should’ be. Since most of the passengers over the northern trans- atlantic routes are Americans, and most of the traffic is carried by foreign liners, it is evigent that the American people are not giving their full svp- port to ships flying the Stars and Stripes. A rough estimate is that 65 per cent of e travelers over these routes are citizens of the United States. Figures are not available to show what percentage travel on American ships, bub it is evident that if every Ameri- can were loyal, it would be an easy matter for the United States to gain Supremacy in this service. “ The popularity of American ships is growing every year. During the com- ing two years two new Palatial steam- ers are to be constructed, giving the United States line the safest, fastest and most elegant passenger liners in existence. This, of course, will stimu- late patronage and bring added pres- tige to the American service. At pres- ent the United States line offers serv- ice as good as that of any other na- tion. WHerever American ships sail citizens should refuse to take passage on competing liners. This country can not build a sftisfactory merchant marine without the assistance of the people. THE WORST FATE. During the war there were many discussions among the mien at the front as to the worst fate that the fighting might bring, says the Phila- delphia Record. Almost invariably, the decision ar- rived at was that anything, even death, vem be preferable to blind- ness. And now Booth Tarkington tells us that having been blind has been a great experience. Science has saved his sight, but at one time there seemed little hope that this could be accom- plished. So one may accept the au- thor’s testimony as being based on ac- tual experience. For a time he was blind “It is a thrill not to have to see everything,” he declares. “It is really marvelous not to have to look at a lot of things and people / want to see.” Few persons will care to experiment with such a thrill as this, despite this exciting praise. Every one will agree that there are many things which one would like to shut out from one’s vision and that there are individuals who, in popular phrase, if one ever saw them again it would be too soon. But overbalancing these prejudices are ali the lovely and enjoyable sights that daily meet the eye, the faces of friends whose very appearance wuplifts the heart. Booth Tarkington has lived, success- fully, for 60 years. He has traveled widely. He has achieved much. Pos- sibly blindness, for him, would not be a great catastrophe. But for the aver- age man, despite Mr. Tarkington’s de- lightful picture, this disaster will re- main in the imagination of human- kind as the worst that can befall. A NEW SALT. Man, like all animals, needs salt (so- dium chloride) physiologically. But his taste for salt is an acquired habit. Cannibals, Eskimos and other carniv- orous peoples use no salt, observes Time. Like dogs, cats, jackals, lions, they get their requisite sodium chloride from the flesh they eat raw, or roasted. (Boiled flesh loses its salt.) Most men, however, are omnivorous. The salt they get from fish, fowl and beast is too little for bodily needs. Necessary and desired as salt is, it is forbidden those suffering from high blood pressure, Bright’s disease, dropsy. Victims can forego the ingestion of galt. But its taste they crave. Chemists and pharmacists have long sought to com- pound a substance that tastes like salt, but is harmless in these diseases. : Last week Dr. John Christian Krantz, jr.. chemist and pharmacist at Johns Hopkins, announced that that labora- tory of many a beneficent drug, had created a salt substitute which has proved palatable during a year’s tests. It is called eka salt, is made from malic a QE Ge And We Thought Justice Was Blind.

Alice, Harry and Mr. Anderson are te meet Ah Sam's agent at a house on Pell street. They are tricked by Sephia. Mr. Jenkins calls on Old King Brady for help to recover the idol. The old detective writes an advertisement. : ee “yj UST as Harry and Alice were ready to depart for Chinatown, one of the secret service men was an- nounced. He walked into the library and looked at Alice inquiringly after he had exchanged greetings with the Bradys. “Miss. Montgomery, I really must congratulate you on your makeup. It_is wonderful.” “Oh, it is like everything else, prac- tice makes perfect,” replied Alice calmly. —- did the scheme work out, Mr. “All right. I saw the woman ride I renewed my acquaintance with Jenkins and he seemed to be terribly worried for fear “Ah!” said the commissioner. “I am told Miss Jenkins had a parcel with her. Do you happen to know what was in it?” “No. All I know is that it had been passed the customs inspector.” That parcel contained a wooden idol. We suspect that it contained diamonds, but the inspectors could find no trace of them. —* = Bay to you about the idol?” aoe thee it had béen given to him by an old friend,” replied the old de- tecti ' ve. “are we going now?” asked Alice, who was impatient to be off. _“Yes, I thought we might as well all Bo together.

The run to Chinatown was quickly made. Alice was to meet an agent of Ah Sam's at the door of the Pefl street house, and be conducted into Sophia's presence, Harry and Mr. Anderson were looking Chinaman was side door of the build- ng him the password, Evidently he not understand English ing. “Yes, let us push right ahead, We to see it h.

But next day ame orders to follow up to a finish. “We want that idol. and we want it bad.” said the chief over the wire. “You get it if it is to be had.” re- plied Old King Brady. * He had orders to arrest the couple and hold them both.. Old King Brady did not fancy it, but it had to be done That even:ng, while the Bradys were playing a game of pinochie, Mr Jen- kins was announced. One glance at his face was sufficient to show that he was a man who had been greatly disturbed He tossed a letter on the table and dropped wearily into a vacant chair. The letter ran as follows: “Dear Pa—When this comes to hand I shall be married to Mr. Sam. The fact is, we were married in Hamburg and didn’t tell you, for 1 made Sam promise to keep away until I had seen you sately through this trip. As I thought it doubtful you would give me a dowry, I took the liberty of swip- ing the wooden idol. “So long, Pa. Be good. By the way, Sam says to tell you he has resigned from the secret service, so you won't have to bother any more. “Yours in hopes, , SOPHY.” “Cool!” said Old King Brady. “I should say #0,” replied Mr. Jen- kins. “Can I see you alone a mmute, Mr. Brady?” Harry immediately left the little room at the cnd of the hall, where a cleverly contrived listening panel made every word clear that was spoken in the library. “Will you try to find my girl, Mr. Brady?” “On one condition only—that you fully explain that letter. The last para- graph needs explanation.” . Mr. Jenkins looked bothered. “Now, look here, will you swear not to betray anything 1 may tell you!” “Yes, I swear that.” And the old de- tective meant it. He saw that Jenkins did not suspect him of being with the secret service, and here was a chance to solve the old mystery—how Jenkins ‘did his smuggling. Mr. Jenkins leaned forward and spoke quickly. “I never want to see my daughter or her Chink again. What I want is the wooden idol. They'll never get a cent of my money. It will go to charity—all of it.” He had worked himself into a rage. It seemed useless to Old King Brady to press him further just now, for the opportunity to use him as an aid to carrying out his plans was too good to be overlooked. So Old King Brady let him go. Har- ry returrfed to the library. . “Well, it seems clear that Jenkins knows something about that idol of which neither Ah Sam nor Mrs. Sam have any inkling. We have to assume that it is diamonds. I’ve got a scheme. Call up and see if Alice is in and fetch her down,” said Old King Brady. “Now, Alice,” he said a few minutes later, “write what I tell you in the form of a Chinese adv ent for their bulletin board.” She accordingly got out a package of red paper slips and a Chinese pen and a stick of their pecu- liar ink. Then with the reed pen she quickly wrote the following: “Ah Sam. You may thing you know all the secrets of the wooden idol, but the real secret. 1 do. It is for sale the room, but it was only to go into. ‘you are mistaken... You do not know cheap. Address A. M., General P. O., making appointment. Your wife’s pho- tograph must accompany the letter 60 1 may know it is the right party. If I don’t hear within a week the informa- tion goes to the secret service.” “Now.” said Old King Brady, “you and Harry get down to Chinatown and post that notice. I am going to bed.” “Shall I make up Chinese?” asked Alice. “Might as well,” replied Harry. “Something may turn up.” Another chapter of this thrilling se- rial is in tomorrow’s paper. Don’t miss it! Old King Brady ts on the trail of the hideous wooden idol. Fascisti to Debate Papal Pact Tonight Grand Council Will Also Deliberate Situation Due to Elections. Rome, April 7 (A.P.).—To examine the general political situation of. the country arising from the nation-wide plebiscite of March 24, the grand coun- cil of the Pascist party will meet to- morrow night at the Venezua Palace. The grand council also will deliber- ate on the measures to be introduced in the new Chamber of Deputies, mem- bers of which were elected a fortnight ago. Chief among these will be the gov- ernment bill for ratification of the Lateran treaty between Italy and the Holy See. which the council already has approved, together with Mussolini’s covering report. It also is within like- lihood that the council, supreme gov- erning body of the Fascist state, may proceed to the assignment of the 400 deputies to the various committees of the chamber. As is customary, a speech by the pre- mier will inaugurate the evening. Earthquake Recorded At Fordham University New York, April 7 (A.P.).—An earth- quake, described by Fordham Univer- sity officials as of “‘moderate Intensity,” was recorded on the seismograph at the university today.

Officials at the university estimated the distance at 2,230 miles from New York, but were unable to de- termine the direction. 18 Airplane Passenger Routes Soon to Open Chicago, April 7 (A.P.).—Eighteen air passenger routes covering more than 14,500 miles will be opened during the spring and summer months, ing to a survey of the American Air Trans- port Association.

THE ONCE OVER ENTITLED “ALL A LITTLE MIS- UNDERSTANDING.” No rough ‘talk or profanity by the customs agenis of the dry law enforce- ment staff marked the boarding and search of Mr. Stuyvesant Fish’s new cabin crutser Restless in the New York Harbor the other day, according to of- ficial reports forwarded to Washington. Mr. Fish. his wife and sons say that the agents were violently abusive and used exceedingly profane language. but they must have been mistaken, it seems. * * * * “You know I would not swear,” said one of the agents under examination. “I said to Mr. Fish, ‘I am sorry I had to stop you and board your boat.’ and he replied, ‘Oh, that’s all right.’ There was no evidence of anger on the part of anyone.” oe w + * So it requires but little imagination to realize what was really saiq when the dry agents chased the pleasure boat, fired several shots to halt it and then searched the ship from stem to stern. “Oh. that’s al] right.” Mr. Fish must have said. “we wouldn't have you stay off our little boat for anything.” “You're sure it won’t inconvenience you?” asked the officer in charge of the raiders. “Not at all,” assured Mr. Fish. “We'll all be delighted to have you all join our party. It’s a new boat, and we're curious to see how strangers will like it Do come aboard at once.” climbed aboard, too. “After all,” protested the dry agent, “we haven't been introduced, but pos- sibly 1 can get my men to wave the formalities.” “Do try,” argued Mr. Fish. “You just tell them I'll be hurt if they don’t.” “It’s getting late,” insisted the dry chief, “couldn’t we let it go until some other time?” “No; 1 want you to come aboard to- day. Just as soon as.I heard you shell- ing us I thought you would pay us a visit, and I told Mrs. Fish you were coming. She’ll be awfully disappointed if you back out now.” “Some other time. at 2?” : “No, now be a good fellow and come aboard this very minute. We were just remarking that one meets few interesting people or sees new faces out here in the harbor. We were real- ly getting quite lonesome. Now hop abo I'll have some tea made at once. What kind of sandwiches do your men like?” “That’s awfully ..good of you, but they’ve just had lunch.” “Well, how about dessert .. strawberry shortcake?” At this point the dry agents swarmed over the side of the boat, shouting, “Hooray for Stuyvesant Fish! Three cheers for Mr. and Mrs. Fish and a tiger for all the little Fishes!’ “I Knew I couldn’t hold them back if you mentioned strawberry short- cake.” apologized the chief, as he Say next Sunday . some — — —— 4s By HLL. deere | | A jolly good time was had by all, and why any complaint should have been made to Washington is a mys- tery.

The event brought to the fore an interesting bit of history in the forma- tion of a national political party. and iso marked the plans of Gov. Green, who next July hopes to induce the members of President Hoover's Cabi- net to attend the seventy-fifth anni- versary of the birth of the Republican party under the famous Jackson oaks. Jackson was settled in 1829 and the centennial of the city will be cele-| brated this summer “Guided by Chandler, Howard, Blair, Bingham and others, the idea here took root which culminated in the found- ing of the party of freedom, unity and prosperity.” were the -words of the late Gen.

Suzanne Talbot ensemble in which the dress has a Bertha collar, scalloped, the yoke is scalloped, the bottom of the skirt like- wise, and the skirt empiecement is applied with a scalloped finish. These same lines are all repeated in the coat. - a Cheruit dress with a scalloped yoke. And a hat at the Maison Agnes on which the. brim is scalloped at one side. For the approaching summer, the strongest note will be the use of scal- lops on the lingerie touches of dresses, embroidered in a contrasting color. This will be applied to collars exten- sively, also to cuffs, and to some extent to jabots. These will be scalloped and embroidered in various shades of red, rose, bright blue and yellow. In some cases beads will be added as an extra touch of embellishment.

FORMS OF LEAD POISONING. W ‘ex a person is suffering from eend your stamped, _ self- the symptoms of lead poisoning the metal is reaching the blood stream by at least one of three routes— the lungs, the stomach and intestines— and reabsorption of deposited lead from the bones and other tissues. Symptoms are due to lead in solution in the blood stream. Lead stored in the tissues does not cause symptoms as long as it stays in storage, The lead which enters by way of the digestive tract is due to dirty hands, the pollution of food and drink, in- cluding tobacco and gum. When the danger is from absorption through the digestive tube, the harmful salts, in the order of their toxicity, are carbonates, oxides, sulphates, sulphides, and chro- mates. If there is any bicarbonate of soda in the fluids anywhere in the tract the less soluble chromatic may be con- verted into the more soluble, and. therefore, more dangerous carbonate. The forms of lead that are most toxic when absorption is through the lungs, in the order of their toxicity because of solubility are: Metallic lead, lead oxide, sulphate, and carbonate. If a man is working in lead fumes, he is especially endangered when he works with metallic lead, and very little en- dangered when he works with car- bonate. On the other hand, if he is endangered by lead dust on his hands, he must watch out, particularly for the carbonate. slight interest. In writing on this subject Dr. M. R. Mayers gives certain other factors which influence the danger in working in lead besides this one of solubility. One is, how long does the lead stay inside the body before it absorbs. If it is swallowed into the stomach and is not promptly absorbed, it is elim- In metallic lead he has but’ nice mo hankies—if ne doesn’t read this first. Some of the designs don’t necessitate cutting the handkerchiefs, so you can give them back when the summer is over. The one on the left, for instance, takes two as you can see, uncut, and is supple- mented with some matching linen. The one at the right takes four—two that aren’t cut and two that are—with the back of the blouse exactly like the front. And the lower one takes four, also uncut, and has long sleeves. * ‘Wee Mamzelie, ; Little hankie blouses like these, made. from colored bandanas, are too cunning for Petite Adorable, worn over. her littie wh linen .pleated skirts. Soak the bandanas in salt water overnight first so that the colors will set. The circuiar and the gathered skirté are jaking the place of pleated and wrap-around skirts in sports wear—or so suggest the courturiers. Anything for change, you see, so valiantly must the trade fight the prolonged accept- ance of a mode idea. Too bad, because any chic woman will refuse to accept a gathered skirt, re the svelt lines of @rounds and the chic as well as freedom of pleats in all their variety. The circular skirts, of course are very chic and flattering and give the same efiect of smartness with free- dom of movement. L’le Atmosphere.

If it gets into the bronchial tubes, Dr. May- ers thinks it less liable to be promptly expelled. There are still other factors. One is the physical state of the metal. Metal which breaks up easily into fine dust is more dangerous than more solid masses, such as those of metalic lead. The quantity of lead en- terng the body is one factor, of course. The reaction of the body and its juices is a considerable factor. Juices which are acid or near-acid dissolve more than those whch are more alka- line. Variation in degree of acidosis or alkadosis, as the case may be, changes susceptibility to lead poisoning. TOO. SCANTILLY DRESSED. Experience writes: Your correspond- ent, A. N., is not the only man having complaint from the women folk in his house about room temperature. My ob- servation shows that this is a very common complaint and it is usually dealt with 7 keeping the temperature up close to 80 degrees. If our modern women were not s0 insane about scanty dress they would not need a room temperature of 80 de- grees to feel comfortable. It is the women with scanty clothing who lounge around the house that feel cold in a temperature lower than this. If nares € were up and around doing a little work they would not feel so cold, even in their scanty dress, in a temperature of 70 degrees.

Gehringer has never played short, but it is certain that he will do better than Schuble, the recruit whom Detroit pur- chased from Houston, in the Texas League, for $35,000 and who has been a flop during the spring games.

Outfield Should Cut Off Many Runs This Season. | The outfield may ‘not drive in as many runs as some of the Tiger out- fields in the past, but it should cut off more runs than any outfield De- troit has ever had. That is, of course, if Bucky Harris can keep Stone, Rice and Johnson together. During the training season he has been unable to keep them together. One or the other was always out because of a sore arm, a twisted ankle or a wrenched back. Stone joined the team late last sea- son and played 26 games, leading the Tigers in batting with a percentage of 354. He is one of the best prospects in the game. Roy Johnson, purchased frcm San Francisco, is even faster than Stone and can throw es well. He will prove one of the fastest men in the league getting down to first base. Herewith is the eighth of a series of articles dealing with the pennant pros- pects of all major league teams by sixteen baseball experts of the staffs of siz- By H. G. SALSINGER (Baseball Expert, Detroit News). 3 P "cer seve Ariz., April 7.—Detro‘t should be a better ball team this season tching staff will be stronger than in years. . The outfield will be the fastest, defensively, that Detroit has ever carried. It The catching will be as good as last year and, perhaps, a bit better. Harry Rice will probably be the other regular. Rice started with the Tigers last spring, coming to Detroit in a trade that carried Manush and Blue to St. Louis. He is a great defensive player. Ruble and Fothergill Rated As } Utility Outfielders. Art Ruble and Fothergill will be util- ity outfielders, according to present plans. Fothergill is the slowest out- fielder on the team, but a hard hitter. Ruble is a splendid fielder and a good thrower. He was with Detroit before and farmed out because he could not hit well enough. His batting improved in the minors in the last two seasons. First base will probably be played by both Heilmann and David Dale Alexan- der. Heilman played first base before he tried the outfield. He returned to first in the last half of the 1928 season. Alexander has always been a first sacker. He was with Toronto in 1928 and the year previous. He led the In- ternational League in batting last year. He is one of the biggest men in base- ball, slow and somewhat awkward, but he can hit. Marty McManus is playing third base. He played there last year. Nolen Rich- ardson is the utility infielder. Mervyn Shea is first-string catcher. Harris also has Ed. Phillips and Ray Hayworth, recruits. All three are ag- ive. If the Tiger infield shapes up, Detroit will make trouble in the American League this season. Harris is a better maneger than either of the men under whom the Tigers played in the last seven years. His record backs this claim. He has considerable power in his squad. It may take a little time to get the machine moving, but once Har- ris gets the Tigers going they are quite ‘likely to go a long way. EW YORE, April 7 (N.Y.W.NS.).— Manager McGraw, of the Giants, is reported to be turning a cov- etous eye on Eddie Moore, former Pirate and Brave, who is playing for Toledo. McGraw wants Moore to fill the infield chasm running through second base. Mr. Moore must have received the news with feelings. A play boy who will have his play at any cost, Moore has often felt the heavy hand of man- agerial displeasure. In a discussion of his escapades and tribulations, just be- fore he was sent to the minors, the name of John McGraw came up. : “Gosh!” exclaimed Mr. Moore, with a shudder, “if 1 worked for that guy I’d always owe him money for fines at the end of a season.” Mr. McGraw, it is ru- mored, is a strict disciplinarian and seems to like to have tough babies around to exercise on. If he fails to land Moore, there are one or two lads now on the club who will do. ‘Comeback of Wilcy Moore Remains Shrouded at Present. The baseball future of another dis- tinguished member of Clan Moore—- Wilcy—is shrouded in doubt as thick as a Grand Banks fog. The Oklahoma farmer, who made a great name for himself as a relief pitcher for the Yanks in 1927, says his arm feels all right, and perhaps it is. Loss of pitching effective- ness is not always due to ligaments out of alignment or other discernible physi- cal disturbances. A case in point is that of Herman Pillette, who came out of the ‘West a few years ago to burn up the American League for Detroit. Like Wilcy Moore, Pillette specialized in a sinker. For a time it looked as if every other athlete in the league was doomed to break his back trying to hit it. After one big sea- ’ See —— Sidney West (INCORPORATED) & It’s invisibly MESSRS. STEIN-BLOCH Almost the Naked Truth By JAME S. COLLINS son, however, Pillette suddenly went sour. Ty Cobb, then, manager of the Tigers, kept him around for a long time, hoping he would recover his winning form, but Herman never did. He is stili pitching in the minors and his arm is as sound as Andrew W. Mellon’s certi- fied check for 67 cents, but he has lost his old mastery of the ball. He can still throw a sinker, but he has lost the per- fection of control that was the secret of its effectiveness. Unless he can con- trol it €0 a fine degree, the only use of a sinker’ ’n a pitcher’s repertoire is to take up room. Thevenow’s Loss One of Many Suffered by Lowly Phillies. The news that Tommy Thevenow is progressing satisfactorily after the auto- mobile accident that almost apst his life will please his fellow players and the fans. Thevenow has had more than his share of troubles in his major league career. A broken leg kept him idle the better part of a year and in- directly led to his transfer from the championship Cardinals to Baker Bowl, the ball players’ Gehenna. His recent even more serious injury was a heavy blow not only to himself but to Burt Shotton, forsaken manager of the for- lorn Phils. Shotton himself, by the way, is runner-up to Thevenow in the hard-luck handicap. During the winter he suffered the loss by death of Frank Ulrich, who was accounted one of the best right-handers in the game. Then Ray Benge, a youngster who gave prom- ise of becoming a master moundsman, developed a sore arm. To top it all off. the injury to Thevenow disrupts what promised to be the best infield the Phils have had in years, and at a time when Shotton has no passable substi- tute for Tommy. The baleful practice of extracting joy from existence goes on apace. Customs men contend that congressmen are as amenable to law as other citizens and seem .to be getting away with the con- tention. Some literary sleuth discovers that much of the atmosphere in a girl’s autobiographical account of a life spent at sea apparently was acquired on a Hoboken ferryboat. Max Schmeling threatens never to return to the United States unless the New York boxing au- thorities do what he wants them to do. Charges of professionalism tarnish the good name of amateur athletics. Suspicion Cast Around Tennis Match Between Palfrey Sisters. To cap it all, comes the intimation, by the Associated Press, that Sarah Pal- frey, defending the national indoor sin- gles championship at Brookline, Mass., last week, did not exert herself to the utmost of her ability in losing the title to her older sister, Mianne. The fact that Sarah always outclassed Mianne in previous engagements, and the fact that it was Mianne’s last chance at the title before she moved up ifito the women’s class, combined to engender the terrible suspicion in the mind of the A. P. observer. Pretty soon the old cynic will be around saying there isn’t any Santa Claus. research in athletics at tthe University of Illinois, pipes up to announce that he has perfected a device for charting muscular reactions.

Prof. Griffith might better put in his time working on some invention that is really needed, such as a waistcoat that will repel eggstains. Certainly his present offering is su- perfiluous. The method now employed to determine the result of wrestling matches in edvance is perfectly satis- factory to all concerned. Besides, it’s a lot easier to fix matches than to drag electrical apparatus around.

KLAHOMA CITY, April 7 (N.Y.W. N.S.).—The celebrated Babe Ruth three-ring circus from the Yankee Stadium gets bigger and better as it goes along Bigger and better riots, too. If you doubt the riot business, you should have been at the local park this afternoon and got a peek at the in- habitants trying to mob Babe Ruth and kill him with a shower of cushions. The Yanks, by the way, won from Okla- homa City by a score of 13 to 5. It was the greatest crowd that has ever witnessed a ball game in the State of OkJahoma. They came early and often and from far and near. They jammed the stands and then scattered all over the field. They were still storm- ing the gates when the game started, and they still continued to trek their way to the turnstiles. It was estimated that 16,000 fans paid their way into the park to see the Babe and the world’s champions in action. As usual when the crowd overflows on the field, the fans fight each other to stand close to Ruth and talk to him. As each inning was played the crowd in right field gathered a little closer to the Babe, and when he came out fog the eighth inning the crowd was at’ his heels. The fans in center and right field became jealous of their right field neighbors and swarmed over toward the Babe. In a minute the Babe was in the cir- cle of about 2,000 fans. You couldn't see him from the press box, and Hug- gins rushed out Doc Woods to rescue the home-run king.” Babe Struggles to'Free Self As Cushion Battle Rages. While the Babe was fighting his way out of the mob they started throwing cushions from the bleachers and grandstand. While the cushion fight was going on, Babe was still struggling to free himself. After a gallant effort and with almost the loss of his uniform, he got free. As he started running, he crashed into a little kid. The Babe stopped, picked up the kid and started out of the ball park with the crowd after him. The cushions were now centered on the Babe and for awhile it looked as if the big fellow was going to lose a limb or an arm before he got back to the hotel. A taxicab driver came to his rescue. He was parking near the bleacher seats when he spied the “Home Run King” in the mob. “This way, Babe,” he yelled, “I'll take you back to the — J— The taxicab driver was all right until he tried to get out of the gate leading into the street. The crowd had block- ed his way and while he was stalled the cushions flew through the air like a blizzard. One of them hit a woman in the face. Finally, several police- men cleared the way for Babe and his taxicab and he reached the hotel af- ter an eventful ride. Slugger Keeps His Head and Smiles—a Showman. The Babe is a great show man. Dur- ing the cushion battle he smiled and kept his head about him. The umpires began activities a half hour early. At the time the skies were overcast and it threatened to rain more than once. But it did not, and nine innings could have been played without any trouble if the fans had not got the idea to tear Ruth apart in the eighth. When you are traveling with Ruth, There’s not much baseball to talk about. He’s the entire show. How- ever; the Babe has been falling down in his home-run acting. He failed to satisfy the crowd with a home run this afternoon. He hit a double into the left field crowd in the first inning, flied out to right in the second, walked in the fourth, reached first on an error in the fifth, and fanned gloriously in the eighth. The other Yankees hit the ball hard. “Lefty” Heimach, who started the game for the champions, clouted the ball over the center field fence in the sec- ond inning, and Tony Lazzeri over the left field barrier in the eighth.

While the exact form of the proposed racing law has not been revealed, it is conceded in legislative circles that it will be in the nature of a local option bill and that its introduction will be the signal for a vigorous fight. The three main centers of the etage in point of population, Dade, Duval and Hillsborough Counties, have been gen- erally presented as forming the nucleus of the element supporting the bill, with ,| Dade ass the leadership, and it is apparently a foregone conclusion that the opposition will derive its strength chiefly from central Plorida representa- tives and from delegations from less highly populated sections.

Carlton’s address would furnish some guide post to di- rect their action on the racing issue was dispelled when the governor made no direct reference to the matter. His statement, howver, that Florida should “not risk her future on a game of chance or a program of legalized gam- bling” has been construed to mean that he would not favor the passage of a racing law in view of the existence of statutes forbidding race track operation with any form of gambling. have Trojan Gridmen Start Two Weeks’ Practice Los Angeles, April 7.—Spring football practice will be resumed at the Univer- sity of Southern California tomorrow under the direction of Coach Howard Jones, the Trojan gridmen having just | finished a week’s lay-off due to the | Easter recess.

Stagg. who conceived the tournament eleven years ago, said the 1929 event, which was won by Athens, Tex., was so successful that discontinuance would be an athletic tragedy. “The University of Chicago has not profited financially in the conduct of these events, because funds gained from the basket ball tournament have been more than used up for the conduct of its annual national interscholastic track meets,” Stagg said. “The teams of the University of Chicago have not profited unfairly by reason of holding the events, either. Of the 3,000 boys who have com- peted in the national basket ball tour- nament, only two have later played on University of Chicago basket ball teams.” He also said the tournament had maintained the strictest rules and co- sociations at all times INDEPENDENTS LOSE ONE.

The appearance of Zimmerler was the first for that hurler after being signed by the Independents recently. Others signed and who played yester- day were Seably, first baseman, and Smallwood, outfielder. BARBUTI FAILURE ;. ONLY TOWN GOSSIP CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11. I have heard an official of the A. A. U. ponder the matter of the dispo- sition of gate receipts from mects in which Paavo took part when he was Jat the height of his career, and if I had been writing Barbuti’s article with the information which Barbuti claims to have, I would have mentioned Paavo by name. This would give Paavo his choice of ignoring the charge and thus convicting himself or disproving it in the face of my evidence. The com- plainant should take a sporting chance. Barbuti Had Chance to Be Crusader; Only Town, Gossip. Not to indulge in the same bashful evasiveness that runs through Mr. Bar- buti’s story, I might name the A. A. U. official as Mr. Dan Fefris, the secre- tary. He said the A. A. U. had no way of knowing just what was done with the club’s own shares of the gate re- ceipts drawn to the armories in New York and otter cities when Paavo was ral races a week in this country three. years ago. The account- ing left the clubs in possesgion of con- siderable money which they were at Some of the clubs were scarcely more than paper organizations and if any of them wished to return some share to the athlete who drew it at the box offices, they were in a position to do so. If I had been an official of the Fin- A. C., of New York I would have given Paavo a decent share of the receipts as his due, regardless of the rules of the A. A. U., because it is only a false conception of athle- tig morality that prevents the runner from prospering as a candid profes- sional while conceding great earning powers to mediocre prizefighters. Nur- mi ran much better than Tunney ever boxed. Yet, Tunney made $1,000,000 a year, and Nurmi, if he made any money at all by running, had to make it by stealth. Mr. Barbuti had a chance to be @ crusader and he has turned out to be a town gossip with se knack of insinua- tion but without the courage to say what he means or even mean what he says. Incidentally, ‘is contribution to the cause of international amity through athletic relation- is characteristic of the general program of good will hart yer athletics.

The mound showing is even better than this when it is considered that nine hits were made in one contest‘. In the others were a 2-hit game, a 3-hit one, two 5-hit ones, and another in which the aliens were credited with six bingles. One of the most pleasing features of the pitching outlook is the manner in which the veteran, “Sad Sam” Jones, is rounding to form. He claims that his arm feels stronger and that he is further advanced now than he was at the same stage of the 1928 training pe- riod, and his work bears him out, as h. has allowed but four hits in the nine innings he has toile~ so far. Man- ager Johnson is greatly pleased with Fred Marberry’s work and predicts a sucecssful season for him. In addition to having his old-time speed, “Firpo” now has discovered a curve ball. This, Johnson believes, will make him a suc- cee as a starter. “Tt’s not that Fred will depend upon it so much,” the Nat leader explained, “as the fact that he can use it as a change of pace or slip it over occasion- ally. Heretofore, batters have been fas: balls, knowi.g / had nothing else. Now, they'll Bom to be looking for both Kinds, and he not only can throw them off balance by fooling them occasionally, but can save his arm by not having to depend upon speed alone.” VJith Liska, Braxton and Hadley hav- ing proven that -w are good pitchers, Johnson will be greatly disavpointed if his team does not carry on its winning streak through the coming series, “And, if we do, watch out for us,” he said tonight in discussing the com- ing series, “for, if we can beat the Giants, we will be beating a team just as good as any we will have to meet during the regular season and better than most of them.” The foot race before yesterday’s game in. Birmingham, in wRich Billy Ban- croft, Baron utility man who was 4&4 track star at Howard College, nosed out “Stuffy” Stewart, has caused con- 1isiderable discussion among the Nats and another is likely before tomor- row’s game with the Giants. Both Sam Rice and Sam West think that they can outfoot Bancroft and have challenged him. Lloyd Brown, rookie pitcher on whom Johnson is counting for some effective work during the coming sea- son, has recovered from the boil on his knee which stopped him for a few days. He likely will see service against the Giants before the Nats reach Washington next Thursday morning. Immediately aftér today’s game the Nats hustled to the station to return to Birmingham, being due to arrive there early in the evening. Jack Kloza, who received a tryout with the Nats last Spring, was one of those who greeted Manager Johnson o|and his charges when they arrived here this morning. Kloza -just joined the Montgomery Team, being sent here by the Barons. This big outfielder was the home run king of the Southeastern circuit in 1927 and is a great favorite with local fans.

From all appearances Harry's experi- ence of competing with the rookie, Dale Alexander for the first base job was 60 new that he stumbled into difficulties he previously avoided during the thir- teen seasons he has spent with the Tigers.

Dee. 3320 OANS HORNING —— South End of Highway Bridge 401|} (Opp. Washington Monament) ! Gardner Leads Bunion Field in 52-Mile Grind Hancock, Md., April 7 (A.P.).—Ed Gardner, Seattle negro, his black skin gleaming in the sunlight as perspira- tion soaked his body, crept closer to the lead in the C. C. Pyle “bunion derby” today, when he won the lap from Frederick to Hancock. The negro runner covered the 52 miles through midsummer heat in 7 hours 58 minutes 1 second, and ap- proached to within 21 minutes of John | Salo, Passaic, N. J., policeman, the leader in elapsed time. Salo finished second in today’s “hop,” completing the distance in 8 hours 27 minutes 45 seconds. Salo staged a bitter duel with Gard- ner over most of the course today, but the dusky runner pulled away during the last 15 miles of the jaunt, which marked the start of the second week of the cross-country run. The runners all had difficulty surmounting the steep hills leading to Hancock, while the hot sun, beating down on them all day, made the going more gruelling. Arthur Newton, of South Africa, was the third man into the control point today. Voight Houfstate, of Manistee, Mich., was fourth; Pete Gavuzzi, of England, and Sam Richman, New York, fifth, and Guisto Umek, of Italy, sixth. Four runners who completed the day’s run from Baltimore to Frederick yesterday did not start today. They were Karl and Jual Cools, Belgian run- ners; Thomas B. Ellis, of Hamilton, On- tario, and Martin Johnson, of Rock- ford, Ill. The first ten in elapsed time follows: i—John Salo, Pasgaic, N.

U. and Yale Meet; Hilltop Has Star Group of Players. ENNIS comes into the District col- lege sports picture this week with four matches scheduled, the first of which is due this afternoon between Georgetown’s fancy array and the rep- resentatives of Yale. Catholic will fig- ure in the other three clashes. Uniess an eleventh-hour change is made, the Georgetown University- Yale contest will be held on the Hilltop courts, starting at 3 o’clock. The Hill- top courts are not yet in perfect con- dition and on that account the scene of the match may be shifted. Probably the greatest collection of netmen ever to have represented Georgetown will wield their rackets against the Elis today. Emmet Pare, captain, is the three-time Western indoor champion, Old Dominion out- door champion and ranking No. 1 player in the Middle Atlantic section. Catholic U. Netmen in Debut Against Hopkins Thursday. He will have for company among others Gregory Mangin, fourteenth in the national rankings; Freddy Mesmer, captain of the basket ball team und a racketer as good as he is a basket ball player, and Kip Callan, former star of the tennis team of St. John’s Prep of this city. The Catholic University netmen will get under way on Thursday when the Johns Hopkins Team journeys over to Brookland from Baltimore. Included in the Cardinal Squad are four veterans of the 1928 campaign, Joe Raiche, Mike Diaz, Riordan and Vinnie Morris. Villanova will appear on the Brook- land courts on FPriday and Richmond University will furnish the opposition on Saturday. Horton Smith Faces Major — Test in B ritish Open Play By ALAN J, GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor). EW YORK, April 7 (A.P.).—Re- gardiess of his sensational per- formances at home, the odds will be all against Horton Smith in the Brit- ish Open Golf Champicnship at Muir- field early in May. The Joplin ghost of the links, even should he overcome the handicap of altered playing conditions, will be up against the jinx that has thrown Amefican contenders for re+ peated losses in thir first attempts to gain British honors. Smith will Lave a full battalion of compatriots to help .nake him feel at home. At the same time they can give him the full details on how difficult tt is to get a foothold on British links the firet time out. Walter Hagen barely oor the first time he entered the tish Open in 1920, and finally wound up in fifty- fifth position. But he worked his way up to a tie for sixth in 1921, and from there he went on to win the classic three} yin times, in 1922, 1924 and 1928, besides finishing second and third on two other occasions. Sir Walter, on the strength of this record alone, likely will be the favorite when the field sets out at Muir- field. Jones Tore Up Card First Time Out for Title. Bobby Jones got into so many diffi- culties in his first crack at the British crown in 1921 that he tore up his card, an episode that impeiled him to return to win the title 1. 1926 and repeat the trick in 1927 with the lowest champion- ship score on record—285. Gene Sarazen failed to qualify in his first bid for British honors, but he was runner-up to Hagen last year. Jim Barnes could do no better than sixth in champion of all the contenders from the United States is another member of the Smith clan—MacDonald Smith. This Scot stylist, after being third in 1923 and 1924, had the British title in his pocket starting the final round !n 1925, but lost control as he was beset — ——— or real enjoyment Only Quality could produce such a Blend— And only that uncopyable blend can produce the mild, yet distinc- tive character that makes El Pro- ducto the steadfast friend of a host of smokers.

PLAN PLACEMENT BUREAU The first na**onal conference of col- Ored women in the interest of better- {ng working conditions in the indus- tries closed yesterday with sessions at headquarters of the National Associa- tion of Colored Women, Twelfth and O streets northwest. The final sessions were visited by representatives of the American Federation,of Labor and the American Negro Labor Congress, the federation studyine the work of the conference with especial reference to Plans for increasing efficiency of the colored woman worker. Mrs. Bessie Plotnick, representing the labor congress organization, explained @ plan of organization of workers’ clubs for groups of unskilled women, but dis- covered that the industrial department of the colored women’s association had effected organization along dissimilar lines and had embodied in its resolu- tions a recommendatien for affiliation with the American Federation of Labor wherever possible. The conference, Mrs. M. Moselle Grif- fin of Philadelphia, national chairman, stated, following a cursory survey, found '@ widespread lack of training among colored woren for industrial pursuits, the work being new to those who had engaged previously only in personal and domestic service. To effect a better ad- t State organizations and local hes of the industrial department “Were directed to make an appeal to boards of education everywhere.

The Parent —— Friendships. eb OW can I make friends?” Friendships start and stick, . whether we old or young, because of some bond. During youngsters collect are friends through thick thin. The girl plays the piano and violin. The boy is terribly up in photography and so is girl friend. Or, again, a young pair in — Rg ene meetings. tennis. is a basket ball he ig the center on the foot- Both love dancing or hiking or swimming. He has thoroughbred German Shepherds end she has pure blooded blue-tongued chows. Something which each likes is, like § ~ g re acti They lo and with each -other. One gives that he may receive. He re- ‘eeives and the obligation is to give. The question to ask ourselves is: What have I to give to another or to a gruup? ‘Here’s a problem which contrunts many girls: “I like him very much and he al- ways to me when we meet at classes but he has never asked me for a date. My club is going to have a and @ence and I would like to vite him. Is it proper?” -No, my dear girl, I regret that it isn't. Pursuit is the prerogative of the. male. Though a smart woman can usually arrange such matters without seeming to do so. Wouldn't a little foursome at bridge scive your problem very neatly? Find mother couple who are congenial and then you could call up the other Jad’ or when you meet him inquire, “Stan- ley, t I persuade you to come over a fourth at bridge next Wed- nesday evening?” You see, bridge cou- tinually requires a search for that elu- J — — — — — — ~~ ——— Counselor. sive “fourth” so that your invitation will appear quite informal and free from anything pointed.

If, unfortunately, the young man says he doesn’t play bridge, tell him to come just the same and you'll teach him, that is, unless the rest of you are such “sharks” that it would make the even- ing unbearable.

Is it pfoper for a high school boy of fifteen to ask his high school girl friend of fourteen to come out to his house and meet his parents, if the parents are willing? } MISS PRUDENCE. -Answer—Certainly. It would be much nicer, however, if the mother would drop you a little note inviting you. Self-Supporting. My parents could put me through college but won’t. They think I should earn my own way. Should I go under these conditions? YOUNG MAN. Answer—Letters from young men and women who have worked while at various institutions are agreed on two points: First, it is pleasanter to be sent through college, but it is better to earn one’s own way than not to go at all. Social life must be sacrificed to a large extent, but there is a compensating thrill in having earned one’s education. 8 it is essential to have at Teast $500 upon entering college. If possible, it is better to have enough money to get through the freshman year without working. (Copyright, 1929.)

A tumultuous and prolonged battle within the Federation of Citizens Asso- glations over the exact status of the citizens advisory council is expected through the outcome of the council election Saturday night. Charles I. Stengle, former represent- ative, who was reelected to the council for another year Saturday night, is to make the council some- thing more “than a purely negative Stengle believes the council should get down to continuous work on muni- cipal affairs, covering all the require-~- ments of the city and working out a wag pnne of its own. He believes that council should not content itseif with merely expressing approval or dis- approval of such measures as may be ‘Introduced to Congress affecting the of the District and referred to Sees Authority for Status. Ample authority exists for the coun- ell to take on the status he advocates, Stengle believes. Others in the federa- however, do not agree with hin. charged last year that the coun- on occasion exceeded its author- and scope. Stengle, however, says matter was disposed of by . committee in the report of which it was declared that all discre- sionary powers reposed in the council. That report, adopted by the federation, Decame its decision, Stengle says, and the doors completely for the of work which Stengle says the council should and must do if it is to efficiently as a body repre- sentative of the people of the District. - Keen dissatisfaction with the out- come of the election, however, is felt by leaders of the liberal groups, as well as leaders in the federation battles with public utilities corporations.

Was Invaded by Quarry’s Machine. — — After a circuitous chase yesterday afternoon through northwest Washing- ton, Stanley Dyer, 23 years old, of 911 Jefferson street northwest. was lodged at the Thirteenth Precinet Station and charges of*reckless driving and leaving the scene after a collision were booked against him. He was held under $500 bond for appearance in Police Court. Policeman J. E. Ehlman, of the Sec- ond Precinct, who was enjoying a little spin in his automobile as a relief from the heat of midafternoon, was the ar- resting officer. Ehlman reported that he was mak- ing a right-hand turn into Georgia avenue at Ingraham street when he noticed an automobile running 50 miles an hour through traffic. He took up the pursuit, the chase leading south on Georgia avenue and then west on Arkansas avenue. At the turn into “Arkansas avenue Ehlman reported the automobile he was pursuing crashed into a parked automobile, shoved it about 15 feet. The pursued car kept traveling, with Ehlman still on the trail. At Farragut street the leading automobile made too wide a turn, ran over the curbing, across the sidewalk, through a hedge and onto a lawn, where several children were playing, Ehlman said. The automobile backed up in a hurry and continued on its route down Farragut street, but was unable to make much speed on two flat tires and was quickly overtaken and forced to the curb and halted. Dyer made no explanation of his al- leged haste, Ehlman said. The parked automobile said to have been struck by Dyer’s machine is the property of the Rev. Patrick Brown, of 1406 Lawrence street northeast. NUMEROUS THEFTS MARK END OF WEEK Autos, Residences and Stores Looted of Merchandise; Cash Also Taken. MAJ. GEN.

The names of Mickey Bennett and ZaSu Pitts probably would not pack any man’s theater, but their owners as- suredly provide the major portion of the entertainment to be found in this picture. The story leavens a tense recital of a detective’s adventure with a band of crooks with a clever and generous vein of comedy, to which Master Ben- nett and Miss Pitts, aided by Mr. Oakie, principally contribute. Mickey Ben- nett does a surprisingly able piece of work as the kid who wanted to be a “detecituv” and turned out to be the best one connected with the Babbing Agency. Mr. Cromwell, as Babbing, plays with somewhat the same deliberation as Robert Elliott, the best fly cop in the talkies.

Reviewed (second week), by Mary Porter Russell. The makers of the latest “F” street sensation have discovered what is not only an ultramodern ‘but an ideal me- dium of relating to an ever avid public the details of existence as existed by those strange beings on the other side of the footlights. Through it, the spoken drama, the screen and the mu⸗ sical revue combine to reveal the play- ers’ lives in more manifold aspects than have ever been shown, and, in so doing, piqneer into a realm of entertainment that is startling in its scope. Even Bessie Love, with all her charm in her fitness for the role of “Hank,” the finer half of the small-time sister team come to crash Broadway, would have had difficulty in. bringing convic+ tion to the story without the’ varied facilities that have made it the most widely discussed picture of recent weeks. It is her voice which works up to an emotional pitch the dramatic points in the tale’s unfolding. It is the sight and sound of the mammoth musical production, both in the frenzy of rehearsal and in the full glow of its opening splendor, that fill in delight- fully minutes that -might otherwiss cast their overpowering weight on the somewhat fragile plot of the devoted dancing sisters who love one man. The sound and spectacle, as blended, move along at a lively tempo, without a dull moment from the time the sis- ters make the venture and arrive in the big town, thrilled to the fingertips with the hazard of it, until the younger Queenie, having captured all the breaks. finally captures also, quite undesign- edly, “Hank’s” beloved star of the Zan- field revue, and “Hank,” with a new partner, her heartbreak stified, starts —* for Peoria, a brave, gay trouper still. Anita Page, as Queenie, and Charles King, as the lover, offer thoroughly capable performances that suffer only in comparison with the enthralling in- térpretation of the game little loser by Bessie Love. Kenneth Thompson, Ed- die Kane and Jed Prouty do credit to supporting roles. Not to be outdone by the feature film, the subsidiaries include, in addi- tion to the newsre*ls and an orchestral overture, an impressively dramatic talk- ing playlet, directed by Lionel Barry- more and featuring Robert Ames and Carroll Nye.

EPA Lief & a .. : ‘ If the melancholy loves of clowns have heen somewhat .overworked in song and story, with the screen con- tributing its full share of labor, never- theless the UFA ‘studios could be counted on to. extract some freshness from the theme.

Sensitive and cynical as he ts about women, he takes life sanely and merrily, both in and out of int.. When romance arrives he yields to his fears at first by concealing his profession, but tri- umphs in the end over tragic tradition. : "This is one of the soundest and best of the German imports. The flair for the grotesque the morbid may heve faded. Here is a sanely human story, taking its color from the adven- turous life of the circus, superbly ren- dered in the work of the cameras, splashing the screen continually with those penetrating bits of detail, con- veying the glamour and zest of life that are characteristic of the best European direction. Kraus is a sterling player, readily comparable with the more noted Jan- nings. Jennie Jugo, recently seen here in “The Loves of Casanova,” is the charming heroine. Warwick Ward anc Gina Manes have the remaining parts of special importance, and there is the usual procession of vivid and interest- ing character bits. * A new view of Chaeplin’s “Shoulder Arms” after the lapse of peaceful years finds it still fresh and loaded with laughter.
