Thrilling rescues were effected by carrying to safety four persons clad in night clothes last night when fire destroyed two bungalows and partially destroyed four others in the Washing- ton Tourist Camp in Potomac Park. Maj. William Critchey, banker, of 90 Pierpont avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., car- ried his wife and two daughters, dressed only in their night clothes, to safety as the bungalows they occupied caught fire. He himself escaped in pajamas. William Sloan, of River Forest, Il., a suburb of Chicago, who was confined to his bed in bungalow No. 17, was carried to safety by unidentified rescuers as the flames from the cottage next door were licking at the walls of his cottage. The blaze that consumed two of the bungalows is said to have started in No. 20, apparently from an oll stove left burning by the occupants. It is thought the stove exploded, so rapid was the spread of the flames, illuminat- aNAILS, BEANS EATEN BY MARDONED FLIER Four of Southern Cross Are Weak and Haggard When Rescued. RETURN IS SEEN IN WEEK Sydney, N. S. W., April 14 (A.P.).— The crew of the airplane Southern Cross lived for two weeks on wild beans and mud snails and were extremely haggard and weak when found by a Heath Airways. plane on Thursday, it was revealed today when the rescuers reached Derby. The returning airmen said they learned from Capt. Charles Kingsford- Smith, who, with Charles P. Ulm and two others came to grief on March 31 when they were forced to land in the mudflat regions of Port George while on an easy-stage flight to England, | that the men soon became too ex- hausted from exposure to make their way to the coast and probably would have perished had their rescue been delayed much longer. The meeting be- tween the stranded fliers and the pilot of the rescue plane was described as greatly emotiogal. Capt. Kingsford-Smith told him that he and his companions had sighted several planes passing over them, but could not attract attention to their position with signals or other means. When the first plane was sighted it bolstered their lagging spirite sky high, the captain narrated, because they knew then that the search was on and believed sooner or later they would be able to attract attention to th@m- selves. A Heath plane will return to the stranded airmen within a day or two and will take a supply of fuel for the Southern Cross, which Kingsford-Smith hopes to fly back to Sydney for re- conditioning preparatory to another start on the flight to England.

The glare attracted thousands of automobilists to the vicinity and fire ap- paratus had to race to beat the con- gestion of traffic that resulted from automobiles blocking roads nearby. “I was sitting in my bungalow,” Maj. Critchey said, “listening to the radio. My wife and daughters had retired and were asleep. All of a sudden the lights went out, the radio choked off and somebody screamed. I looked out and saw several bungalows, including my own, on fire. “I carried my wife and children to safety, but we lost all of our clothes and possessions. However, I saved my car, which was between two of the houses,” he said, as one of the attend- ants at the camp bandaged his right hand. It was cut across the palm.

JAPAN FAVORS A DELAY Geneva, April 14 (A.P.).—Concrete suggestions on both naval and other questions are expected from the Ameri- can delegation to e preparatory com- mission for the disarmament confer- ence which resume its activities to- morrow. Hugh 8S. Gibson, american Ambassa- dor to Belgium, at a press conference tonight, stressed his stat~ment that his associates are here to try to find a technical solution as the basis for a general conference and that the object of the commission is to strive for agree- ment upon methods for limitation of armaments. The general tendercy, especially on the part of the Ameri- cans, was to prevent the discussions becoming an Anglo-American affair, wishing rather to have all suggestions go into the melting pot of the com- mission as being of interest to all gov- ernment represented. It was learned that the United States has no present intention of suggesting another separate naval conference ut intends to work within the framework of the preparatory commission. The impression exists that the present meet- ing offers a reasonably good oppor- tunity to present suggestions publicly and that there is no reason to walt un- til after the English general elections next month. A British spokesman said his delega- tion had no new proposals to make on naval questions but would be in a re- ceptive mood to hear any suggestions from the American delegation, which would willingly be passed on to Lon- don.

Last Friday afterno-n Percival Gas- sett, former consul to M@#trid, Spain. apparently in the best of health, called on his old friend, the Rev. Enoch M. Thompson, rector of the Church of the Nativity and former rector of St. Paul’s Protestant Episcopal Church, and em- phatically reminded the minister that he was to Officiate at his funeral. Shortly after leaving the minister, ofr. Gassett was stricken with heart dis- ease and died Saturday morning at 8 o'clock at Emergency Hospital. Tomor- r°w morning at 11 o'clock funeral serv- ices will be held at St. Paul’s and Mr. Thompson, in accordance with his pledge. will officiate. “Mr. Gassett appeared to be in the best. of health when he called on me last Prigay,- May Thompson said last night. “He seemed td have a premoni- tion of death, beginning to talk about his funeral as soon as greetings were over.” Mr. Gassett then asked Mr. Thomp- son to take him riding to see the cherry blossoms. The request was complied with, and on the return Mr. Gassett requested to be dropped at the Metro- politan Club, of which he was a mem- ber. Three hours later he was taken ill in his apartment and was removed to the hospital. Mr. Gassett was a native of Dedham Mass., but had lived in Washington in- termittently for many years. He had been in Washington about three weeks before his death, aving come here di- rectly from the South, where he spent the winter.

FATAL ROW IN STREET FOLLOWS RUM PARTY Policeman Finds Victim Dazed and Holds Him as Intoxicated. INVESTIGATION HELD BY WHALEN AND AIDS Attorney of the Alleged Killer Declares That Assault Was “Gentlemanly Act.” New York, April 14 (U.P.).—Wealth, middle-aged chivalry, a woman dis- puted and cocktails entered today: into the mysterious death Thursday of Ar- thur M. Smith, elderly Cleveland manu- facturer, as the police held Samuel E. Bell, white-haired oil man and former Pennsylvania legislator, for arraign- ment in homicide court Tuesday. Mrs. Robert L. Brown, a socially prom- inent matron of Lexington, Ky., was named as the innocent cause of a clash between the dead Clevelander and the accused Bell. The early morning scene preceding the finding of the mortally hurt Smith, dazed from a skull fracture, beneath the canopy of the ultraexclusive Hotel Mar- guery in Park avenue, was reconstructed by the police froth several sources. Argument After Leaving. Two dignified elderly men and a rich- ly gowned woman left the hotel and the woman entered a taxi. Both men started to enter, then faced each other. There was a moment’s swift conversation, ac- cording to the accounts, an appeal to the occupant of the cab and one of the middle-aged men either struck or pushed the other. He then entered the vehicle and was driven hurriedly away. Bell denied through his attorney to- day that he had done more than give Smith a “vigorous push.” The lawyer, Theodore F. Yan Dorn, described Bell's conduct as that of “a perfect gentle- man.” Mrs. Brown and the two men had been guests at the apartment of Mrs. Robert W. Schuette, wife of a former Rolls-Royce official, now out of the city. Bell had been in the city several days attending to his business inter- ests, and earlier in the evening had dined with Mrs. Brown at the Hotel Plaza. They were old friends, according to Attorney Van Dorn. Liquor Served at Party. Van Dorn said that a small quan- tity of liquor was served by Mrs. Schuette to her guests and that during the evening Smith had been attentive to Mrs: Brown.

April 14 (A.P.).—Four persons are believed to have been drowned here this morning when their automobile, which was parked in re- verse gear, backed up when started and plunged into the swollen Rock River. Two men were known to have been in the car at the time of the acci- dent, and two women seen with the men shortly before they got in the car are missing today. The men drowned were: Lou Sarver, driver of the automobile, 36 years old. Jacob Boon, 36 years old. The women missing today are: Mrs. Etta Schumaker, 50 years old. Mrs. Nora McPherson, 24 years old, her daughter. Police and river men were searching for bodies, but the flooded condition of the stream balked their efforts. The scene of the accident was near the place where two bridge workers were drowned last week.

S.; Three Dismissed by Escobar; Fight Near Naco. FEDERALS MOVE IN WEST Juarez, Mexico, April 14. (AP.).— Three trains of Mexican federal soldiers from Chihuahua City, arrived in Juarez this afternoon. The first train, loaded with infantrymen, arrived in this bor- der city at 4:30 p. m., and the second, a cavalry train, reached here at 4:35. Gen. Juan Andrew Almazan, division commander of the Mexican federal army in the State of Chihuahua, ar- rived on a third troop train at 5 p. m. Further dissension and dissatisfac- tion among Mexican rebel generals was reported today around Agua Prieta, So- nora, where concentration of insurgent forces continued. Three generals were said to have been dismissed by the rebel generalissimo J. G. Escobar, for insub- ordination. The names of the officers reported discharged were not learned. Meanwhile, at least four rebel gen- erals, Raul Madero, Antonio I. Villareal, Cesareo Castro and Francisco Manzo, were known to have entered the United States because of their objections to Escobar’s leadership, The first three were in El Paso, Tex., across the border from here. Gen. Almazan said tonight that he would leave for Sonora in pursuit of the rebels “soon.” A work train car- rying ties and rails is to leave tomorrow morning on the Mexican Northwestern Railroad to repair tracks the rebels de- stroyed in their retreat westward. Al- Mazan declared he did not expect any opposition until he reaches Pulpito Pass, through which insurgents passed on their way into Sonora. Naco, Sonora, April 14 (A.P.).—Three hundred rebel cavalrymen arrived in Agua Prieta, opposite Douglas, Ariz., to- day without being detected by federal airplane scouts of the Naco garrison. They were part of the army of Gen. Jose Gonzalo Escobar, left behind when Escobar flied frmo Chihuahua by air plane last Tuesday. Two federal planes, loaded with bombs, reconnoitered over Pulpito Pass. 70 miles east of here, this morning and returned to report that no rebal troops were in the vicinity. Bombs intended for the Chihuahua soldiers, had they been found, were dropped on Gen. Ra- mon Yucupicio’s camp at La Morita. Yucupicio’s men scattered as the ex- plosives fell.

BASE OF HOPE IS FLIMSY By CARLISLE BARGERON. President Hoover’s forthcoming law- enforcement commission will, after all, apparently be permitted to study the question of the enforceability of the eighteenth amendment. At least, the way for such a study nas been opened by a carefully guard- ed statement pried out of the White House by the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment and made pub- lic yesterday. The association, in a letter. signed by Henry H. Curran, president; William H. Stayton, chairman of the board of di- rectors, and Pierre S. du Pont, chair- man of the executive committee, wrote Mr. Hoover that it was convinced that the real reason prohibition is not en- forced rested in the eighteenth amend- ment ftself.

Miami, Fla., Aprjl 14 (A.P.).—Machine gun fire from a Coast Guard picket boat raked the Miami River front early today, striking at least one houseboat and two structures ashore. More than 200 shots, many of them tracer bullets, were fired at a fleeing rum runner, which was abandoned. The crew escaped on shore. The selged craft, loaded with contraband, was turned over to the customs officials here. Commander R. L. Jack, of the Coast Guard base at Fort Lauderdale, to- night admitted that a Government boat had been in the river which “had done some shooting.” Previously he had denied the craft from which the shots were fired was a Coast Guard vessel, but tonight said subsequent inquiry revealed a Government ves- se] had given chase to a rum runner on the river. Formal investigation of the shooting will be conducted at the Fort Lauder- |—A dale base tomorrow morning, the com- mander announced. “If our men were to blame they wil! be punished,” he added. More than 200 shots were fired from & machine gun mounted in the prow of the Government boat, it was estimated by police who witnessed the chase. One bullet pierced the cabin wall of a houseboat owned by Robert V. Latham, ‘ricocheted off a metal traveling cabe, passed within 6 inches of Mrs. Latham, who was sitting up in bed, and imbed- ded itself in another wall. Another shot pierced the side wall of & mortuary a block and a half from the river. A third bullet struck a house across the street. Persons in the vicinity of the early morning chase characterieqd the firing as “wild.” None of the bullets struck the rum-running boat. Low rate excursions—Flurida-Havana. Optional routes; Florids.

COMMITTEE NOT FORMED . (Associated Press.) The House will convene today with five and possibly six of its new mem- bers facing contests over the right to hold their seats, but in the opinion of leaders consideration of the cases will be postponed until the regular session in December. The contested seats will be filled by those presenting certificates of election issued by the proper officials of the re- spective States. Leaders tonight expressed the opinion that election committees, which finally must pass upon the contests, prob- ably would not be organized. Such committees are not legislative com- mittees and therefore might be exempt from the ruling to organize only two legislative committees—those to handle farm relief and the tariff. The contests include one against the seating of Ruth Bryan Owen, daughter of the late William Jennings Bryan, as representative from the Fourth Florida District, and also the seating of Augus- tus McCloskey, a Democrat, as repre- sentative of the Fourteenth Texas Dis- trict. Citizenship Questioned. In the Owen contest the allegations concede that Mrs. Owen received a majority of the votes, but charge that she is not entitied to her seat because she is a widow of an Englishman, and thereby does not comply with consti- tutional requirements. Although Mrs. Owen was naturalized in 1925, after the death of her husband, it is alleged that she has not been & bona fide resident of the United States for seven years, as required by the Con- stitution, despite the Cable law which provides that American women who marry foreigners may regain their citi- venship upon the death of their hus- bands Testimony in the Owen case was re- ceived lest week by William Tyler Page, clerk of the House. This will be re- ferred to the Speaker, along with testi- mony in the other cases. The Harry M. Wurzbach-McCloskey contest, which has been in the Texas courts, revolves around the charges of the former, a Republican, that Mc- Closkey was one of the return judges to whom the ballots in the election were referred and that the Democrat, aS a result, had opportunity to tamper with them.

On the eve of the special session par- ty leaders in Congress outlined to the Associated Press their views of the work ahead in the following statements: By SENATOR JAMES E. WATSON The Senate Republican Leader. "The new Congress that convenes to- morrow is called primarily in the in- terest of agriculture and industry, and its consideration from the beginning will be directed toward these two legis- lative subjects. “President Hoover and the Republi- can party are pledged to a revision of the tariff, and particularly to one that will insure adequate protection to the American farmer, and also to the en- actment of a farm marketing bill. These two propositions are intimately inter- woven and very naturally come to- gether for legislative consideration at the present time. With the coopera- tion of the Democratic minority, Con- will undoubtedly afford contem- plated relief with promptitude. “In accordance with the wishes of the President, I favor a limitation of this session to the consideration of the farm bill, the tariff bill, reapportion- ment and census. There are no other emergencies apparent at this time that require our attention before the regu- lar meeting in December. “at this time thege is evident a spirit of oooperation among the members of the Senate, and, by attending strictly to the business in hand, I believe the work of the extra session will be com- pleted and an adjournment taken with- in a reasonable time.” By JOHN Q. TILSON The House Republican Leader. “The two subjects upon which the Republican party in the recent national campaign promised immediate legisia- tive action were agricultural relief and tariff revision, and Congress meets to- morrow in extraordinary session, on call of President Hoover, to fulfill these obligations. “Two committees of the House, agri- culture and ways and means, have been considering these questions during the recess and are practically ready to re- port definite proposals for the con- sideration of Cc a we oo ~_ er ee oe MOTIVE FOR GIRL SUICIDE 6 MASTER Student at Randolph-Macon Institute Shoots Self as Comrades Eat. INQUIRY TO BE CONDUCTED Special to The Washington Post. Danville, Va., April 14.—Mystery to- night surrounds the suicide of Miss Mildred M. Kilgore, of Plant City, Fila., 18-year-old student at Randolph-Macon Institute, shortly after 1 o'clock this afternoon. She was found dead with a bullet through her brain and lying on the bed of her rome by her room- mate. Dr. J. E. Taylor, the city coroner, who was immediately called by John Simpson, principal of the college, ex- reseed the opinion that the girl had shot herself. The revolver was still clasped in her right hand. Motive for the act remains a mystery. So far as her friends know, she was happy and ing good health. She left no explana- tion. The shot was fired evidently while the other college girls were in the din- ing hall, where the clatter of dishes and noise of conversation drowned the report. The girl’s father is H. M. Kil- gore, a merchant of Plant City. The coroner plans a more intensive investi- gation tomorrow. He: has not yet dis- covered how the girl obtained the gun. 4 — The SHIRT EVENT of Spring THIS IS THE ONE BIG SHIRT EVENT OF THE YEAR... », eagerly awaited each season by all men of the District.

William Wimer jumped with parachutes tonight from their National Guard plane when the plane’s motor died in midair above Gumbo, Mo., 20 miles southwest of here. Capt. Wimer injured his back slightly in landing. Capt. Wimer, who was piloting the ship, and Gray are both attached to the National Guard air unit at St. Louis. They had flown from here to Jefferson City, Mo., this morning on a training trip and were returning tonight. Capt. Wimer told the Associated Press that they were traveling at a height of 800 feet when the motor died and both jumped. Wimer did not see if Gray's parachute opened.

All the evidence points toward general revision upward, which will augment the burden now borne by farmers in the United States.. The ef- fort to make ‘privilege’ or ‘special fa- vors’ under tariff laws: applicable to businesses and citizens will fail. “It would be interesting and it might be helpful if the President would state his views respecting the details of the administration measure for farm relief, and perhaps this will be done in his message to the Congress. “If general tariff revision is under- taken, the session can not terminate before late summer. It is absurd to anticipate quick consummation of such a prodigious task.” By JOHN N. GARNER. The House Democratic Leader. “If the President’s proposed program is all the legislation that is to be en- acted at the present session, Congress should conclude its labors by the mid- dle of July. This will give ample time for discussion and a thorough consid- eration of both farm and tariff legis- lation, which I understand is the limit that Congress will consider, according to the Republican leaders’ program. “The President also promises far relief in the form of waterway im- provements with a view of facilitating transportation, and a reduction of freight rates. This could be under- taken and not materially delay the final adjournment of the session. “What the proposed legislation will contain is to date problematical. Both parties have promised to rehabilitate the farmer economically through an increase of the tariff on his products and give him a sound marketing sys- tem, especially with reference to taking care of surplus crops. We will have to await the committee’s report to de- termine the position the minority will take on this subject, but the Democrats are ready to fulfill their promise in every particular. “We are also ready to cooperate in the passage of any other legislation necessary to bring about the placing of agriculture in a more favorable economic position than at present. There are several other remedies that might have very careful consideration, such as a more favorable credit situa- tion, thereby lowering interest rates.” BLAIR'S. SUCCESSOR CAUGHT BY HOOVER Internal Revenue Job May Go to R. H. Lucas or Some Other Southern Man. CONFERENCE TO BE HELD Although the White House and David H. Blair refuse to discuss the resigna- tion of the latter as commissioner of internal revenue, it is known that several men are under consideration for the vacancy to be created. Robert H. Lucas, collector of internal revenue at Louisville, Ky., is to be urged for this place. He has wanted the position for several years, but it was not open. Republican National Com- mitteeman J. Matt Chilton is here now, and has an appointment with the President today. Mr. Hoover sent for him and it is believed he will discuss Mr. Lucas in connection with the Blair office. The Kentucky patronage situation has become interesting because of the action of Mr. Blair. Charles I. Dalton, Federal district judge for Kentucky, is a candidate for the position of solicitor general. His friends have been back- ing him for that post, but it is under- stood here that he will not get it. Mr. Lucas was slated by Kentucky leaders for the judgship in the event Dalton is promoted; but under the circumstances, he will be urged as commissioner of internal revenue. Joseph K. Moyer, chairman of the special advisory committee of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, ts strong with the Treasury Department, but is under a slight handicap because of the fact that he comes from Pennsylvania. Secretary Mellon’s State. West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee and other Southern States will have candidates for this $10,000 assignment. It is believed here that it will go to the South.

CORONER SEES RESULTS Chicago, April 14 (A.P.)-—-A collec- tion of assorted bullets, that carried out their death mission, may hold the solution of a string of Chicago gang slayings. The scarred pellets, in pos- session of Coroner Herman Bundesen, who has reopened the investigation into the massacre of seven Moran gangsters here ‘last February 14, were taken from the bodies of the latter and @ number of other gangland victims. Carefully indexed, they have been stored away for use in a widespread in- vestigation of slayings, prompted by a U. S. Army ballistic expert’s study of them. The expert, Maj. Calvin Goddard, after months of microscopic examina~ tion and scientific analysis, testified before the coroner’s jury last night that it -is possible to’ trace the slayers through certain markings on the bul- lets and at the same time caused to be reopened investigation of slayings that have been marked “unsolved” on police records for years. One was the slaying of Thomas John- | son, gambler, a year ago. Maj. Goddard said he could prove the bullets that killed Johnson were fired from the same gun that was found on George Maloney after the latter is alleged to have slain Hugh McGovern and “Gun- ner” McPadden here recently. The in- quiry was adjourned over the week end, before further testimony was given, but Coroner Bundesen indicated that through the ballistic investigations much information has been revealed. “There have been 516 of the gang murders here during the past ten years, all closely linked, one leading to the other,” the coroner said, “and we pro- pose to show their connections and sponsors.” The coroner, prior to re- newing the inquest, had selected a jury composed of the city’s leading business men and they were sworn in last night in the county morgue over the bodies of two of the latest gang victims, Michael Reilly and William Clifford, for the purpose of impressing them “with the seriousness of the situation that confronts their city.” Maloney, out on bond after pleading not guilty to the McGovern-McPadden shooting, was ordered under immediate arrest. A city-wide search for him was being made.

Three of the of the car and escaped with bruises and cuts. The fourth, George Lux, 18, was caught under the overturned ma- chine and killed. He was smothered before his companions could extricate him from the wreckage. One of the girls, Coletta Liston, 15, is an eighth grade pupil at the Libby Grammar School. Highway police at the Willow Springs Station, where the trio was taken, said she told how Frank Cekanor, 19, had bought the moonshine near a schoolhouse before the four started out on the cabaret tour. School officials, welfare workers and the police announced they would start an investigation to drive out bootlegz- gers who have been furnishing liquor to school children. Cekanor, driver of the car, is held by — pending the inquest into the death of Lux. The Liston girl and Gladys Hankes, 17, a high school stu- dent, were released to their parents after police obtained statements from them.

Le TORNADOES’ DAMAGE: REACHES $1,500,000 Red Cross Needs $100,000 to Aid the Stricken Area in Arkansas. THOUSANDS _DESTITUTE Little Rock, Ark., April 14 (A.P.).— With emergeney relief work complited and permanent rehabilitation the next step, Red Cross workers today contin- ued a survey of the north central Ar- kansas communities stricken Wednes- day night by “twin tornadoes,” which took a toll of 50 lives, injured hun- dreds and left more than 1,000 home- less and destitute. Property damage Was expected by Red Cross officials to run between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000. Headquarters for relief and rehabili- tation work by the Red Cross have ' Been established at Newport ander the direction of Albert Evans, disaster re- lief director for the. Midwest Mr. Evans estimated it would require from six to eight weeks to give the refugees their start in life again. His assist- ants are scattered in the storm areas of Guion, Parkin and Swifton, within a 100-mile radius of Newport. Swifton, affected the worst, has buried ite 23 dead and has 21 injured in a Newport hospital. The Red Cross has distributed tents, cots and other sup- plies on a family basis over the storm- leveled communities of Sneed and Pos- sum Trot, about 6 miles north of Swif- ton, and will direct the work of re- building frame farmhouses. Séventy- five tents have been erected over this region. At Guion, where 5 were killed and 48 injured, a tented city has been built and several hundred refugees are be- ing cared fot by the Red Cross. Mem- bers of the Arkansas National Guard at Batesville were in charge of the com- munity kitchen. Guion, a mining com- munity, was completely destroyed. The only thing left standing there was the vault of the bank. A large number of the injured taken to Batesville hos- Pitals were dismissed today. In the other storm arees, tents were being used by families near the sites of their wrecked homes. The Red Cross has asked for an emergency fund of $100,000 to carry on its work in the devastated regions and Gov. Harvey Parnell has broadcast an appeal for funds.

Austin, Tex., April 14 (A.P.).—Strik- ing. swiftly and without warning, a tor- nado of minature proportions de- molished seven homes at Smithville, 45 miles southeast of here, early today and injured four members of a” family whose residence was lifted from its foundation and hurled a twisted mass into a nearby street. Between 60 and 70 persons were made homeless. Mrs. Leo Austin, preparing breakfast when the wind blew up, was carried 100 feet from the wreckage of her house and was severely cut and bruised. The wind almost disrobed the woman. Her husband received a wrenched back and their two children, Leo 9, and Dorothy, 4, were slightly bruised. —re —s The boy and his baby sister were asleep when the storm toppled the six- room house from its foundation. They were found”in the wreckage, clasped in each others arms. The storm fol- lowed a sudden downpour of rain. Large hackberry trees were uprooted and blown like straws for long distances. Residents said pieces of metal roofing from the Austin home were found a mile from where the house stood. The storm was not without freakish angles. A light chicken coop contain- ing three birds was undisturbed by the same quick, destructive blow: which splintered two nearby garages. Mrs. Austin said that her laced shoes were blown from her feet.

Unofficial but apparently reliable fig- ' ures gave the allied bill as about $12,- 000,000,000, to be increased by deferred payments, while the best offer ot Ger- many has been $8,000,000,000. It 1s pos- Bible that the allied bill as presented to Dr. Hjalmar Schacht yesterday may be made public tomorrow at about the Sime that he replies to it. ., Coming after a hectic week, in which the allied delegates strained every ef- fort and skated on thin ice to reach an agreement among themselves. the an- mMouncement that their findings had been criticised in Washington came as @ sort of anticlimax. The meeting of President Hoover with his Secretaries of State and Treasury created mild excite- ment here. The German delegation was silent. It seemed that the German mind regarded the American claim of $240,000,000 for the cost of the Coblentz @ecupation as secondary to the larger Guestion of total reparations. Young Receives No Note. + American delegates to the repara- tions committee again said that they do mot represent the United States Gov- ernment, have no authority to act for. it, have received no instructions and made no concessions and have no power to make any on either accounts of the WAineland occupation or the allied débts. It was denied without quaiifica- tion that Washington had sent a note t Chairman Owen D. Young. The violent reaction of the German Press against what they term the “im- sible exigeneies of the allied pow- ers” appears to have stiffened French blic opinion. It also is felt that if : American Congress refuses to ratify * Berlin, April 14 a in ‘@tfy reduction in the Coblentz occupa- tion expenses, the French Parliament will insist on full reparations for the war-devastated regions. The general French opinion seems to be that the experts committee will dis- solve in friendliness, with the delegates realizing that they have failed because the lem was not yet ripe for solu- tion. France would be perfectly will- Ing to continue the original provisions of the Dawes plan, but is anxious to avoid bility for failure of the present negotiations. | - Im any case, the next move js up to .

MAY CUT BILL TO ONE Vton Rouge, La., April 14 (A-P.).— Decision will be reached tomorrow night by the Senate of the lgeislature whether additional charges of im- peachment can be voted by the House against Gov. Huey P. Long, or if the chief executive shall face the upper body on one charge only. The question pf the legality of the House session which last week voted an additional charge against the gover- nor was raised in the Senate when a committee called to report it to the upper house which has organized as an impeachment court. The legislature was called into spe- clal session by Gov. Long for wighteen days, which expired Saturday, April 6. At that time only one of the nineteen charges made against the governor had been voted by the House. ‘ ate contend that the House is “not legally qualfiied to continue its session, since the term for which it was called has expired. Should a decision be reached that the House can not legally vote addi- tional charges, then the governor will face the Senate on one charge, that of attempting to intimidate the press by threatening Charles P. Manship, editor and publisher of two Baton Ro papers, unless he abandoned his edi- torial attacks on the administration’s policy. The governor, according to the charge, sent word to the publisher that he would publish a list of persons who had relatives in the State Insane Asylum. , Both houses will reconvene tomorrow night after a week-end recess, the Sen- ate to decide the legality of the House session and the lower body to continue its taking evidence on the other charges against the governor, if its session is ruled legal. The charges yet to be considered by the House include one that the gover- nor conspired to murder onemember of the House. . 7 Boy Scouts Get , Gold Honor Medal Commissioner Beard An- nounces Heroism Cer- tificates for 13.

STEWART Mt GET SINCLAIR'S J Convicted Oil Man Is Said to Have Decided to Leave Firm Bearing Name. STEP IS HELD PLAUSIBLE New York, April 4 (N.Y.W.N.S.).—A new chairman is reported sought for the Sinclair dae ong Oil Corpora- tion to succ try F. Sinclair, and Col. Robert M. Stewart, deposed chair- man of the Standard Oil Co. of In- diana, is said to have been selected for the job. The suggestion of Col. Stew- art’s name came after there had been talk of inducing former President Cal- vin Coolidge to accept the position. A Washington source in close touch with the oll situation stated Mr. Sin- clair had about decided to get out of Sinclair Consolidated altogether and let the stockholders choose some one in his place. It was also stated that Sin- clair had definitely decided to make no resistance to the mandate of the United States Supreme Court and to be pre- pared to serve the 90-day sentence for contempt of the Senate. At a Wall street oil brokerage con- cern yesterday, it was said succession of Col. Stewart to the chairmanship of the Sinclair concern would be plausi- ble and probable, but that the Sinclair name would probably be removed from the firm name in the event such a change took place. Officials of ‘the Sinclair concern and Martin Littleton, Sinclair’s attorney, refused to make any comment on the reports.

BLACKLIST D. A. R. CONVENTION ISSUE AS 6,000 GATHER HERE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. eulogized by Mrs. Brosseau and Mrs. George T. Smallwood, of the District. They were Mrs. John R. Garrison, Mrs. Edward Goodfellow, Mrs. Morton Leon- ard, Miss Fanny Washington Weeks, Mrs. William D. Hoover and Mrs. James M. Willey, former state regent of the District. More than a thousand delegates went to Arlington in the afternoon to witness the placing of the D. A. R. wreath on the grave of the Unknown Soldier. This pilgrimage was led by Mrs. Brosseau and ths other national officers. Mrs. Bros- seau spoke briefly after the wreath had been placed. Last night dinners for the candidates and informal State caucuses were held. Mrs. Theodore J. Hoover, State regent of California, sister-in-law of President Hoover, and members of the California delegation, entertained at a tea at the Willard in honor of Mrs. Jesse H. Shreve, of California, candidate on the Tal- madge ticket for the office of reporter general to the Smithsonian Institution. Electioneering Is General. A good deal of electioneering was on foot, and rival claims were made on be- half of the two candidates for president general. It is now estimated that up- ward of 3,000 delegates will form the voting strength of the society, which should provide an exciting contest. There is little scratching of nominees on tickets, and it is expected that the victorious ticket will'not be split, but the whole slate from president general to curator general will be elected. Besides the president general and ten national officers, seven vice presidents general are to be elected. Among the candidates who have*been announced and indorsed by their States for this office are Mrs. Daniel Mershon Garri- son, Of Maryland; Mrs. R. W. Camp- bell, of Kansas; Mrs. Herbert Backus, of Ohio; Mrs. N. Howland Brown, of Pennsylvania; Mrs. William L. Man- chester, of Rhode Island; Mrs. Kath- erine Kittredge, of Vermont; Mrs. Ralph Van Landingham, of North Car- Olina; Mrs. William S. Shaw, of Maine; Mrs, Munsey Slack, of Tennessee, and Mrs. Grant E. Lilly, of Kentucky. Bailie Incident to Be Feature, What part: the Bailie incident will play in the deliberations of the con- gress is undetermined at this time. Mrs. Bailie, of course, will be permitted to exercise her constitutional right of appeal from her expulsion by the na- Pee — of management to the ngress, but when and how —* is not yet Mrs. Bailie arrived in Washington yesterday, accompanied by her —— and circulars, headed “My Appeal,” chairman of the committee. { were circulated among the del tes and given to the press for publiestion movement to reinstate Mrs. Bailie to membership in the D. A. R. by appeal to the congress is problematical. It probably will be put to the test. In her appeal Mrs. Bailie renews her attack upon the attitude of Mrs. Bros- seau and other national officers of the society in regard to her expulsion. When a copy of Mrs. Bailie’s circular was shown to Mrs. Brosseau, she au- thorized the following statement: “Mrs. Helen Tufts Bailie again comes before the public and through the press seeks to reiterate her grievances against the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution. Her circulars are marked by misstatements and descend to personal attacks of a venomous nature. “Was Given Fair Hearing.” “On June 22, 1928, the national board of management of the D. A. R., acting upon the eviderice submitted hearing, by a unanimous vote expelled Mrs. Bailie from membership in the society because she conducted herself in a manner tending to injure the good name and disturb the harmony of the society. “From that decision she has made an appeal] to the Continental Congress which is to convene April 15, and upon that decision and that decision alone will the congress act. There will be no new testimony introduced, as the ap- peal is based entirely on the record of the hearing of June last; nor will there be any discussion of the various ex- traneous matters which Mrs. Bailie has endeavored to inject into the contro- versy to win approval at the bar of public opinion. The question being one affecting the harmony and conduct of the society, is covered by the by- laws of the socié¢ty, and is solely within the society for determination. “The congress which is about to con- vene is a body charged with the entire responsibility of rendering decision in this matter and therefore will deter- mine when and how it will take action on this appeal. The general public which she adroitly seeks to enlighten and influence will hear the true opinion of Continental Congress, the supreme legislative body of the society. “As to Mrs. Bailie and her member- ship in the society, she has never been an active working member, nor was she one of long standing. Her chapter never honored her with any office and yet she presumes to malign national officers who have given many years of conscientious service to the organiza- tion. “The adverse opinion that she so freely expresses regarding me as presi- dent general of the Daughters of the American Revolution is of no conse- quence. I feel that the society itself and not Helen Tufts Bailie is qualified to pags Judgment upon my leadership.” [New York home, the victim in a case Tt is to What strength exists on behalf of the’ and after a full, fair and complete} BROWN CASE TAKEN UP Elizabeth, N. J., April 14 (U.P.).— Henry Colin Campbell, New . Jersey “torch murderer,” suffered a nervous collapse in his cell today when he was visited by the wife with whom he lived devotedly at the time he bigamously married Mrs. Mildred Mowry for her $1,000 savings, killed her and burned her body at a roadside. : Distraught and weakened after three days in jail without the drugs which customarily steadied his nerves, the el- derly, white-haired civil engineer was shaken by the endearing words of Mrs. Roselea Campbell, as with tear-stained face, she at him through the bars of his and promised her faith to the end. Tonight his attorneys were preparing an insanity defense, based upon the eccentricities and the baffling Jekyl-Hyde career he has led, hoping to save the cultured slayer from the death penalty which the State will de- mand. Authorities, meanwhile, rapidly as- sembled evidence which tomorrow may stamp his as the killer of Miss Mar- garet Brown, governess in a wealthy which so strikingly parallels the Mow- ry murder that the police have an- nounced they will exhaust every cléw to link it, téo, with the civil engineer. The Brown slaying has remained a mys- tery for more than a year. Grows Surly and Haggard. The once dignified Campbell has grown haggard, surly and uncommuni- cative since Saturday, when he re- enacted parts of the Mowry murder for Union County authorities in Cranford. A large crowd which had gathered at the scene of the crime caused him to balk at going through all the details of the killing, and he complained bit- terly of being made a spectacie. He spoke of it as an “exhibition” and ate sparingly of the chicken dinner that was served him. ‘ His steel gray eyes betrayed his nervousness today as Mrs. Campbell, an attractive woman with whom he shared an idyllic domestic life for fif- teen years and the mother of three small daughters to whom he was de- voted, faced him at the door of his cell. Her first words were: “Hello, my dear. How have you slept?” Campbell’s voice trembled as he re- plied: “All right, my dear, but I am worry- ing about you. I don’t know what is to become of you. I—” he broke down and could not go on. A few minutes later, after Mrs. Campbell, had reached through the bars and patted his shak- ing hand, he was able to pull. himself together. “I’m sticking to you, dear boy,” the woman said in a caressing tone. “It will come out all right. We'll get you out ofthis. Don’t worry.” Brown Case Link Sought. By the time her half-hour visit had ended, Campbell had regained his com- posure. Whether the engineer, adventurer, medical charlatan, collector of fan- tastic dolls and author of scientific books had any connection with the murder of Miss Brown probably will become definitely known tomorrow. Prosecutor Abe J. David announced that Thomas Gellas, manager of the Eureka Hotel, at Newark, N. J., would be brought to the county jail to view the priséner. The hotel man will determine whether Campbell is the mysterious “Dr. Ross” who checked out of the Eu- reka Hotel the afternoon the governess was killed, her body soaked in gaso- line and burned. “Dr. Ross,” according to Detective Lieut. George Kaas, of Newark, told fellow guests at the Hotel that he was from “Salisbury.” not naming the State. Camovbell lived in Salisbury, Md., until “e moved to Westfield a year ago. Gellas said today that he saw a re- semblance between pictures of Camp- bell and the doctor. Motives in Cases Similar. Detectives pointed out that not only are the details of the two “torch mur- ders” similar, but likewise the motives. Campbell, in his confession, said he married Mrs. Mowry as “Dr. Francis Campbell” to get her savings. Miss Brown was murdeed, too, by some one who took her life savings of $9,000. Campbell’a letter files revealed that he carried on a heavy correspondence with matrimonial agencies and “lonely hearts” columns of newspapers. Francis A. Gordon, the engineer’s de- fense counsel, will have alienists ex- amine Campbell in his cell. He will develop in the insanity plea the slay- er’s addiction to morphine, his dual life and various abnormal facets of his personality in the attempt to show that the defendant’s mind was unhinged. Prosecutor David, at the same time, will use the reports of State alienists to combat the defense testimony. “Campbell can not escape,” he said. “We have an airtight case against him —* I shall ask for the extreme pen- a y.” Oil Well Gas Blast Kills 2; Third Dying Young Son Saves Father From Instant Death by Beating Flames. Ventura, Calif, April 14 (A.P.).— Ed Masonhammer, 30, and L. E. Jonas, 35, were burned to death and Ed Rod- gers, 35, probably was fatally injured by fire which followed a terrific gas explosion at Hobson Well No. 4 of the Midway Oil Co., in the Rincon district: near here today. The charred bodies were recovered after the fire was extinguished. The blast of gas collected about the sur- face of the new hole, ignited in an un- kuown manner, knocked men down on the coast highway, 250 yards from the well, and virtually destroyed the rigging. Rodgers’ 12-year-old son saved his father from quick death by beating out the fire which burned his clothing. Rodgers was standing several feet from the well when the explosion occurred. The boy beat the flames with his bare hands, which were painfully burned. 365 River Rum Boats Stolen From Patrol Detroit, Mich., April 14 (U.P.).—The fruits of sixteen months of vigilant labor on the part of the customs border patrol here have vanished, Carey D.

BURIAL SERVICES TODAY Cleveland, Ohio, April 14 (A-P.)..—The body of Ambassador Myron T. Herrick, was returned to his fellow townsmen today. Dispatched with the grief of two nations, the coffin was taken from a special train from New York by his friends and placed in Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, to receive in burial tomor- row the simple services which mark the passing of a plain citizen. It was the end of the long journey from Paris and = York, where the French and American Governments ac- corded him the recognition of a beloved friend and distinguished servant. Cleveland, knowing intimately of his early struggies, gathered to mourn him quietly as a son. ~ The train arrived from New York early this morning at the 105th Street Station. Five thousand persons stood about in the bright, cold sunshine to y their to the Ohio farm who made his first appearance in Public life nearly half a century ago ‘as a Cleveland councilman.

There was no official delegation at the station, and only the escort of - Cavalry and police lent the formal recognition of government to the re- ception.

Harvey and Walling C. Har- vey, both of New York City. INDEPENDENT YOUTH. ET’S see, did we ever heer the re- mark: “Youth is so independent nowadays?” Seems familiar, espe- clally when coming from the lips of the young people. Independence—that’s a big word. Men have died and women have gone to court to get it. Authors and artists have lived in poverty to maintain it. Public servants have lost their jobs because of it. Around the home youth is often mighty independent, except when it needs an extra allowance. But outside of home youth is often very dependent and is miles away from that motto of the independent being: “How happy is he born and taught That serveth not another’s will.” Youth serves the will of the group in which it lives far more than its owa will. Young people express very largely the psychology of the mass and not their own individual psychology. They read Sinclair’s “Babbitt” and laugh at the oldsters, but I miss my guess we do not find more Babbitts in lege and high school than we find at aby dozen noonday lunch clubs. Here’s a little gossip about college styles to prove the point. Lumber jacket sweaters are discarded, socks have gone up and the popularity of baggy trousers is waning. To look col- legiate is out of form, to act it is quite *| the style. le Bailey Funeral Tnsisted On by Famliy Tex., April 14 (A.P.).—The of former United States Senator Weldon Bailey, Texas barrier once leader of the Democratic was: b and by state here today at the home of Onioan. im 5 Heavy dates are being avoided and it is considered quite good form to feed her on a sandwich. Patronizing artistic eating joints is giving way to less on the wall and more on the plate. New slang terms have been invented by the college Babbitts. “Racket,” “technique,” “whoopee,” “lamb’s let- tuce,” “fros on the cake.” Automobiles must either be classy or dilapidated. The worse they look the better they are. Each is christened “Pericles Push,” “Fanny’s Folly,” “But- ter Tub.” One I saw carried the legend, “If you've heard this one stop me.” On the back were the words, “U. S. Fast Males.” Silly, isn’t it? We never played Bab- bittry when we were young. No, siree! I've just dug up a copy of “Fresh- died | man Laws” of Yale College. The pub- lication date is unknown to me. It is a very old sheet because the letter S looks like an F and pipe is spelled pipe and cigars was spelled V quote a few of the Babbitt laws of that distant day: “Freshmen are forbidden to wear their hats within eight rods of a pro- fessor. * * * No freshman shall walk with a cane without being completely dressed. * * * A freshman shall not play | CHURCH WHERE HOME TOWN PAID TRIBUTE TO HERRICK TOURIST CAMP BLAZE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. with his clothing, so broke the glass of the door to get in and drive it off. The major procured blankets for his wife and children and himself until the ily in his large limousine, in which they were touring to Florida to spend the spring. Sloan and his friend, Shirley A. Campbell, of 5459 Dorchester avenue, Chicago, U. who were making a tour of Eastern States in a small sedan, were talking in their cottage when they heard the call of “Fire!” While Sloan was being carried to safety on his mat- tress, Campbell managed to save prac- tically all their personal effects and load them in the sedan. ; The blaze was first discovered by Francis W. Hicks, of Pinehurst, N. C., occupant of Cottage, No. 37. He had been in the recreation hall, he said, and was passing Cottage, No. 20, when he noticed a flickering light there. He walked up to a window and looked in- side, where he saw flames leaping 6 feet into the air over a blazing oil heater. No one was inside. Hicks broke open the door, and, after seeing that he could not check the flames, turned and ran to the recrea- tion hall. He summoned Eugene Lay- field, an employe of the camp, and to- gether they returned with fire extin- guishers, which proved ineffective. Layfield returned to the recreation hall and telephoned the Fire Department, while Hicks continued to employ the hand extinguishers and helped push an automobile to safety from its parking place next to No. 20. Engine Company, No. 13, and Truck Company, No. 3, responded to the call. When Lieut. 8. E. Colvin arrived and saw the fire, he telephoned in a second call for equipment, which brought out No. 16 Engine Company and Central Batallion Chief L. L. Wooland. Maj. Henry L. Pratt, superintendent of po- lice, was also on hand. The patrol of the Fourth Police Precinct was also called out. : Two sisters, Adelaide C. Webster and Jessie R. Webster, of Buffalo, N. Y., oc- cupants of cottage, No. 25, were rout- ed from their cottage by the fire. They managed to salvage the greater part of their belongings. J. D. and E. R. Williams, of Cleve- land, Ohio, were said to have been the occupants of No. 20, where the first is said to have started.

Yes, Often, Do fathers read your articles? WIFE AND MOTHER. Answer—I have no way of telling ex- cept by the number of letters I receive from fathers as compare‘ with thase I receive from children, young people and mothers. Four letters out of ten I receive are from school boys and girls under eighteen. Three out of ten are from mothers. The remaining ratio are from employed young people, fathers and grandparents. Perhaps if your husband read me he might have an opportunity to disagree, then I should like to hear from him. A family must be treated ag an in- divisible unit. Fathers must share in the discipline of their children. The child needs the interest and guidance of two parents. A mother, in her af- fection, often sees her child as she wishes him to be. A father sees the child as he ought to be. A mother often gets so tired that she sometimes risks the passing up of discipline. A father’s discipline must dove-tail with and supplement a mother’s training. The father is not simply the wage- earner, he is the spiritual backbone of the family.

Answer—If you know of any way that parents can get children to do exactly the opposite thing to what the parents cegays.| themselves do, you deserve a fortune because your device will be used by everybody who is endeavoring to avoid the general law that example in the bringing up of children counts more than anything else.

New York, April 14 (A.P.).—Albert Levering, illustrator and painter, died of heart disease today at his apartment in the Hotel Chelsea. He was 60 years old and had been ill for several weeks. Levering’s wife, the former Frances Jewell, of Bloomfield, N. J. whom he married in 1905, was with him when he collapsed as he was seated in a chair. Mr. Levering, the son of Levi Lemuel Levering, an architect, was born at Hope, Ind., was educated in the Colum- bus, Ind., High School and studied architecture with his father. He also studied drawing in Munich, He practiced architecture for several years in San Antonio, Tex., and then became @ newspaper artist. GRAYSON L. THORNTON DIES Well-Known Real Estate Man Suc- cumbs tn Hospital Here. Grayson Lomax Thornton, Takoma Park real estate man, died last night at Garfield Hospital. Mr. Thornton, a native of Port Royal, Va., had lived here for a number of years. He had been connected with the Southern Rail- way and the Shipping Board. Several years ago he entered the real estate business in Takoma Park, being associ- ated with his brother, H. L. Thornton. In addition to his brother, Mr. Thornton is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Leland 8. Conness. HOOVER WILL GRANT HEARING FOR WETS CONTINUED FROM PAGE I. Richey, who, among other things, is Mr. Hoover’s correspondence secretary, replied: “Your letter of April 5 has been re- ceived and brought to the attention of the President. He wishes me to say that opportunity will be given for the presentation of any facts which bear upon the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment or any other of our laws.” This would seem to let the association with its view in, and, once such an argument is presented to the commis- sion, there is no telling where it may lead to. Admittedly, it is a very thin thread upon which the wets might hang their hopes. The White House statement looks particularly thin for them when the President’s inaugural language is recalled. The association's letter to him did recall it “I propose to’ appoint a national commission for a searching investiga- tion of the whole structure of our Fed- eral system of jurisprudence to in- clude the method of enforcement of the eighteenth amendment and the causes of abuse under it. Its purpose will be to make such recommendations for the reorganization of the administration of the Federal laws and court procedure as may be found desirable.” There is no suggestion here that the commission will be charged with de- termining whether the prohibition laws are enforceable. Under this lan- guage it would be charged only with improving methods of enforcing them. But the association in its letter to the President said that for ten years and “especially during the last cal- endar year, the associatoin has made a careful study of the effect of the eighteenth amendment and the Fed- eral enforcement laws upon the so- cial, moral and economic life of our people and their relations to the ef- fective functioning of the Federal courts, and we have reached certain definite conclusions. “We are satisfied that the true cause of the failure of the Government to en- force the —*— Volstead law is to be found in the ffature of the eighteenth amendment itself and not altogether in a faulty or obsolete judicial system, and we desire to present before your impar- tial commission evidence to this effect, im accordance with your statement, above quoted, specifying comprehen- sively that this commission is to inves- tigate the ‘cause of abuse.’ “Repugnant” to “Best Citizens.” “We believe that it is the repugnanc¢ of the eighteenth amendment to the spirit of the Constitution of the United States that makes it hateful to so large a body of our best citizens; that its en- forcement has become impossible with- out recourse to procedure and prac- tices which are shocking to most right- minded men, contrary to the traditions of our race and in actual violation of the spirit if not of the letter of the Constitution itself.” Well, Mr. Hoover has authorized his secretary to tell the association tnat it may present that view to the commis- sion whenever it is set up. Supposing the commission were to agree with it? But whether there is any real com- fort in this for the wets or not, it 1s the wettest statement that Mr. Hoover has ever made, or, rather, that has ever been made authoritatively in his behalf. Search of Lake Fails To Reveal Lost Plane Erie, Pa., April 14 (A.P.).—Reports that a flaming airplane had fallen into Lake Erie near here late last night were given no credence by officials to- day following an investigation.

Poland, head of ‘the. legal department of the Antisaloon League of New York, today | called upon “real lovers of civil liberty” to “rally to the cause of labor.” “If the wet protogonists of civil liberty are sincere,” Poland said in a speech at the First Presbyterian Church, “why do they single out imaginary violations and pass by real violations of civil rights? How can they remain silent when, during the last year, 524 legal meetings were illegally broken up by the police and 524 official restric- tions of free speech instituted? “How can they ignore the entry by the police of New Bedford upon pri vate property to arrest illegally the workers of that city who were legally convened? How can they contain themselves in the fact of the brutality, bloodshed and worse on the part of the coal and iron police in Pennsylvania?” Cites New Orleans Raid. Poland also referred in scathing terms to the time “when the military force of Louisiana, last February, en- tered the restaurants of the City of New Orleans and, without warrant or excuse, seized more than 100 men and women and stripped and searched them for evidence of gambling, which was not found.” The prohibition forces, he said, in defending the sinking of the schooner I’m Alone and other recent so-called outrages by enforcers of the law, have done nothing so flagrant, and yet a “great to do is made about them.” “Every endeavor,” charged Poland, “ig made to invoke unheard of and perhaps nonexisting technicalities in defense of the known violator. A fish- ing vessel is overhauled by a Coast Guard vessel and compelled to stop un- der fire. This is a ‘culpable act’ on the part of the Government, because when the Coast Guard got alongside there was no liquor aboard, and, incidentally, neither was there any fish, nor fishing tackle. Doubts Schooner Fishing Vessel. “Are there any so unsophisticated as to believe that such a vessel was in truth a fishing vessel? “Unfortunately,” added Poland, “criminals and their associates and the officers themselves are sometimes killed when the officers, in the performance of their duties, are met with armed resistance. Yet, why should these un- fortunate cases occasion so much com- ment when, within the past year, ap- proximately three times as many in- nocent bystanders have been killed by the police in the reckless use of or ac- cidental discharge of firearms as have been killed in actual armed clashes be- tween criminals and prohibition offi- cers?” Before propounding his series of questions to the wets, Poland declared that “the present wave of wet publicity is especially contrived to offset the value of the positio ntaken by Presi- dent Hoover in his inaugural address and the overwhelming defeat received by the wets in the presidential cam- paign. Coincident with announcement that religion would bar the marriage of King Boris of Bulgaria to Princess Giovanna of Italy, have come rumors linking his name with Grand Duchess Kira (left), daughter of Grand Duke Cyril of Russia. Chinese Propose Abolition Of Military Conscription Geneva, April 14 (A.P.).—Nationalist ,China, although still confronted by revolution, today submitted to the League of Nations an amendment against universal compulsory military service which it would like to see in- serted in the proposed treaty of limita- tion of armament. The amendment was submitted by Gen. Tsiang, Minister to Germany, who told President Louden of the prepara- tory commission that the Chinese dele- gation was actuated only by a desire to speed up the conference which opens tomorrow and to assure the success of work “‘which is absorbing the serious attention of men in responsible posi- tions.” The draft of the amendment reads, “whereas the high contracting parties consider a system of universal military service tends to engender a warlike spirit in the minds of the people and U. S. MAY PROPOSE ARMAMENT BASIS AT GENEVA CONFERENCE to intensify the antagonism of neigh- boring States and thereby creates so- called ‘militaristic nationalism’ which is incompatible with the principles of the League of Nations. “And whereas they recognize that in view of the conclusion of a multilateral pact for outlawry of war, whereby the signatory powers y condemn war and denounce it as a measure for settling international disputes and as an instrument of national policy in their mutual relations, any system which is to militarize the entire popu- lation in preparation for war is con- trary to the spirit and letter of the —— ey therefore agree that hence- forth they will not adopt universal compulsory military service either in the home country or in or colonies as a means of forming or or- ganizing their armed forces.” CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. poorly chosen because of the approach- ing English elections.

The Japanese like the idea of appoint- ment of*a subcommittee of important naval powers which could meet at.an appropriate time after adjournment of the commission and talk over the naval situation. Thig committee, in their opinion, should be composed of govern- mental representatives rather than naval experts.

SAVED BY THEIR GOVERNORS. The part which governors play in State legislation has been amply demonstrated dur- ing the last few weeks in more than a score of States. Legislatures have been turning over vast amounts of bills for executive ap- proval. It would be interesting to know what percentage of them meets with the blighting experience of an executive veto, In New York Gov. Roosevelt has been slash- ing right and left with his veto weapon, but such things are expected from the heated political war which has been waged between the Republican Legislature and the Demo- cratic executive. The veto has also been brought into prominent play in Pennsylvania. But perhaps Maryland offers the best example. Gov. Ritchie has vetoed 56 measures passed by both houses of the Legislature. His action can not be explained on the grounds of parti- sanship. In many cases he has sought to save 1 the State from embarrassment which would have resulted from the bad judgment of its lawmaking body. The reasons he assigns for his vetoes vary.. Some of the vetoed measures were, in his opinion, unconstitutional; others were ill advised and unnecessary; still others were so drawn that it would be impossible to apply them and secure the result desired, and the final group duplicated legislation already existing. , : people a new realization of their natural: THE WASHINGTON POST: MONDAY, ‘APRIL 15, Not only were these useless employes paid salaries, but they were furnished with living quarters, frequently in sections of the boat where the demand for added passenger space is most serious, and they were given their meals. The new owners charge that over- manning has been a considerable factor in losses sustained, and that with the reduction of personnel the ships can be operated as effi- ciently as heretofore. The Government, it seems, while it can cre- ate jobs in profusion, is unable to take them away. Perhaps, in an organization so vast and complex, this is an inevitable weakness. Possibly in functions that are purely govern- mental there is no overmanning. But when the Government gets into business, it is not as expert as private enterprise in watching the corners, nor does it face destruction if it is extravagant. There is food for thought in the Leviathan incident in connection with other projects in which the Government is pressed to set itself up in business, With many more days like last Wednesday the twelve members of Byrd’s expedition who returned to the United States for the summer will be glad to escape to Antarctica.

What has been learned is a guide toward a solution, both in the way of avoidance and of action. The heart of the McNary-Haugen project having been proved to be unsound, the next effort at legislation will be of a different kind. On all sides it ‘is ad- mitted that the basic plan of agricul- tural relief must consist of a Federal board possessing great powers and re- sources, charged with the duty of as- “ sisting farm organizations to regulate the flow of farm products from the pro- ducer to the consumer. The bills pre- “pared by the committees of the House * and Senate agree upon this central plan, and perhaps an accord can be reached which will command the approval of Congress, the President and the country.

The test will come in the final votes, and the result will probably exert a decisive influence in the next elections. f Many subjects will be thrust forward ‘for discussion at this extra session, but nothing at present visible will so vitally affect the Republican party as its action on farm relief and the tariff. The public ~will be diverted by spectacular intrusions, and there may be intense temporary heat -and light, but very few questions involve “the welfare of millions, as do the tariff ‘and farm relief. If the Republican party . _ ‘\ tems, mining exploitation, ‘can dispose of these two problems with satisfaction to the people it can make amany minor mistakes without fatal con- “sequences. CHILE’S RAPID ADVANCE, . The honors paid to Mr. Pablo Ramirez, min- ‘ister of finance of Chile, during his visit to ‘this country are outward evidence of the rec- ognition that is accorded by all countries to Chile for its remarkable progress under Presi- dent Ibanez.

WELCOME TO THE D. A. R. Washington cordially welcomes the 6,000 delegates and alternates who are here to at- tend the thirty-eighth congress of the D. A. R. The National Capital has a particular pride in this organization, primarily because it was initiated in this city and has erected here splendid monumental buildings, but not least, because of the constructive Americanism of its work. The delegates now here are a cross-section of progressive American womanhood, and their influence is felt in every community where a D. A. R. chapter has been organized. They are not afraid to express their convictions, and they have never faltered in their cham- pionship of ‘“‘America first” and for adequate national defense. National defense, however, is not the sole objective of the D. A. R: It has marked the graves of Revolutionary soldiers, restored his- toric landmarks, and fostered Americanization and patriotic education in every State. In the World War its chapters provided war re- lief to the extent of several millions of dol- lars. The members have been pioneers in the development and the preservation of gene- alogical lore which otherwise might have been lost. With tender care they ease the last days of the daughters of men who fought in the American Revolution, and recently they have added to their pension rolls a number of Spanish War nurses. Teachers of patriotism, preservers of Ameri- can ideals and defenders of the Constitution, the Daughters of the American Revolution are especially at home and welcome in the Na- tional Capital. ¢, JOSEPH W. BAILEY. Th the heyday of his powers Senator Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, took first rank in na- tional debate. His penetrating intellect de- lighted in explorations into the philosophy that underlies the Constitution of the United States. He was naturally and by choice a conservative who had no patience with modern “improve- ments” upon the system that keeps the Fed- eral Government and the States within their respective spheres. He resisted encroachments upon States’ rights, and because he believed the eighteenth amendment was such an en- croachment he opposed it to the bitter end, During the later years Senator Bailey parted company with one Democrat after another, as they took up novel departures from the sim- ple but,massive doctrines of Jefferson. He found himself in a very small company of un- yielding disciples of the founder of Democracy. Like David, B. Hill, Senator Bailey was fond of saying, “I am a Democrat,” and no one chal- lenged the simon-pure quality of his belief. Senator Bailey could match swords with any legislator of his time. His person, manner and voice impressed his hearers, and lent dig- nity to his logic. He rarely enlivened his re- marks with humor, but occasionally his sar- castic thrusts showed the glint of a dangerous blade. Persuasion by reason, rather than by an appeal to eloquence, held the attention of lawyers and jurists, but he also attracted the public by the clearness and skill with which he defended his position or exposed the fallacies of an opponent. No one at present in the Sen- ate, with the exception of Senator Borah, could have held his own with Senator Bailey in a clash on a constitutional question. — — — — A LESSON IN ECONOMY. When the Leviathan sailed out of New York on her maiden voyage under new manage- ment, the ship’s personnel was reduced by about 100. These employes, according to a statement issued by the vice president in charge of operations, had no regular duties and were being maintained on the pay roll “for no good reason.” A survey of the eleven ships that have been or will be taken over by the purchasers of the United States Lines re- veals that the services of about 300 emploves can be dispensed with. and when the ships finally pass to the new control these employes will be discharged. Their salaries average about $90 montbly. Probably no better argument for private operation could be advanced than this incident. In discussions upon constitutional questions - to the possibility of the raising of the United States tariff in a way that would affect the marketing in that country of Canadian natural products, particularly farm products and lum- ber, was stated by Premier King on Tuesday. Such a statement has been asked for by the advocates of a ‘‘red-blooded”’ policy of retalia- tion, and the public may now compare the two attitudes and judge as to which is really in the best interests of this country. Dr. Manion, one of the Conservative stal- warts, had urged that, if the United States tariff were raised while Parliament was in ses- sion, the government should provide for a sharp increase in the tariff so as to “lessen our purchases of all kinds from the United States;:” and if Parliament had adjourned, he asked for a special session to enaci retaliatory legislation—to deal, he said, “‘in a red-blooded Canadian manner with their tariff against us.” Ladner, of South Vancouver, likewise, urged the adoption of a retaliatory policy and pro- vision for the raising of the Canadian tariff on agricultural and industrial products on the day on which any tariff increases affecting Canada became effective in the United States. The speeches of these two members were typi- cal of the attitude of the Conservative party. As for the government, Hon, J. A. Robb, in his budget speech, intimated that it could not ignore anything that affected Canada’s foreign trade, and he referred to the possible effects of the “‘fiscal policies of other countries.’”’ The government, he said, favored a low tariff policy, it endeavored to encourage production at home and the marketing of our surplus products abroad. And in applying this policy, he said, “both domestic and international] fac- tors must of necessity be considered.” He was plainly alluding to the United States, and sug- gesting, not that the tariff might be raised against the United States, but that tariff favors might be extended to other countries with which we could establish better trade connec- tions. Premier King has stated more clearly and definitely the position of the government. He holds that it is better to do nothing whatever to disturb the good-will between the two countries, to give the United States no excuse for adopting a tariff unfavorable to this coun- try, and to wait and see what is actually done at Washington. At the same time he fully recognizes that if it is made more difficult for Canadian products to enter the United States, Canada will be compelled to take active meas- ures to extend our trade with other countries that are willing to trade with us. For the present, he would not even increase the British preference because of the interpretation that might be placed upon that action in the United States. Premier King’s words will attract due no- tice in the United States, and his restraint and his emphasis on the preservation of good-will between the two countries will undoubtedly command respect. The United States knows that it has a valuable trade with Canada, and it must know the desirability, for that and other reasons, of maintaining very cordial re- lations with this country. While Mr. King takes a restrained and conciliatory attitude, he does not put Canada in the position of a ‘‘mendicant or dependent,” as Mr. Ladner sug- gested in his speech, He spoke, rather, in friendly but dignified manner, and he inti- mated clearly but without possibility of of- fense, that Canada would take due measures in her own interest if the United States mar- ket were further restricted to her producers. The adoption by the government of the atti- tude of the Conservative party would in all probability make certain, and probably great- er, the increases in the United States tariff because of the ill-feeling that would be cre- ated. And not only would those increases be injurious to Canada, but the proposed sharp increase in the Canadian tariff would also be very damaging to the West and to the mari- time provinces. The waiting and restrained attitude of the government, on the other hand, and the frank and respectful speech of Premier King, may have some effect in holding the hand of the United States Congress. But if the tariff in- creases should be enacted and it became neces- sary for Canada to take action, the most ad- vantageous policy that could be adopted would be that of the energetic promotion of Canadian trade with other countries. That would do no section of the Dominion any injury and it might make up very largely for any further loss of the United States market. Piligr , Af Starting Today. PRESS COMMENT.

And they also suggest ascension robes in the cases in which the fiivver does not heed the warning. The Firing Line. New York Evening World:.Now it is a Norwegian fruit ship which a Coast Guard vessel has shot at on suspicion, proved baseless, of having liquor aboard. Our firing line is not con- fined to the Mexican border. It ex- tends all along the coast. About Time, Richmond Times-Dispatch: Fast au- tomobiles for the future—machines that will travel on the public highways at a 120-mile clip—are seen by Dr. John A. Harriss, president of the Broad- way Association. Well, we had been thinking that it was about time cars were catching up with the living pace in this country. We have been a fast bunch over here since the war. The Killing Pace. Hudson Star: “The pace that kills is the crawl,” Dr. A. L. Goldwater, of New York City, who made a survey among American leaders of industry, an- nounces as a result of his investigation. The inquiry disclosed that men who work hardest, with consideration for the laws of health, not only live the longest, but they get greater enjoy- ment out of their period of labor. The man who relaxes in middle life is found to be most susceptible to the ailments of life. The conclusion, gath- ered from replies of several hundred business men, is that ‘constant activity is production of longer life, better health and greater happiness than early retirement to passive indolence.” A frightful. — * The Place to Regain a Reputation Is Where You Lost It. — By ROBERT QUILLEN=o—————" HAVE told this story several times, but it will bear repeating in a world that reads much and forgets what it reads. That the world has need of such stories was made clear a few months ago when a man who was a cripple died far from home and friends because he was ashamed of his deformity. | He had spent his life in the effort to get away from the pitying eyes of his fellow creatures; but his wanderings had served only to make his plight worse, you may be sure, for people look twice at an odd thing that is new to their experience, but think oddity itself commonplace after they become accustomed to it. This, then, is the story. There were two brothers who were poor, and when their poverty seemed unbearable they took counsel of folly and stole a sheep. They were ‘caught, and when their guilt was established they were made to endure the crue] punishment of the time and place—that is, they were branded on the forehead with the two letters “ST,’’ meaning sheep thief, to make their shame life-long and to serve as a warning to others who might be tempted to do evil. One of the brothers, unable to endure the scornful eyes of his neigh-- bors and ever conscious of the burning letters on his forehead, ran away froin his native land and became a wanderer. But he found no peace, for strangers stared at him and those pos- sessed of more curiosity than courtesy asked for an explanation of his brand, And if he settled for a time in any locality and failed to give a satisfactory explanation, inquiries were sent back along the way he had come and thus his story and his shame followed him. The other brother, humble and repentant and yet too proud to run away, remained at the scene of his shame to overcome it—for it is obvious that the place to recover anything is the place where it was lost. He labored and lived wisely and did many good deeds, and after a while the people became accustomed to the brand on his forehead and were scarcely aware of it. The years passed and one day a stranger in the community observed the brand on the old man’s forehead and said to a native: “That is a peculiar thing, what do the letters ‘ST’ signify?” “It all happened a great while ago,” said the native, “‘and truly I have forgotten; but I think they stand for ‘Saint.’ ”’ The moral is for the unhappy: Those who know you best see your scars least. (Copyright, 1929.) BLOSSOM TIME. The Easter holidays and the cherry blossoms along the Potomac arrive si- | multaneously in Washington this year, adding one more delight .to the excite- ments of those visiting the Nation’s Capital for the first time and affording its oldest inhabitants one of their most s**bctantial reasons for local pride, ob- serves the New York Herald Tribune. Few vistas in any country are more exquisite than those of Washington just now, where the speedway beside the wide river is edged with masses of glowing pink and the smooth waters of the lagoon reflect the brightness in an opalescent harmony of blue sky, white clouds and pink blossoms. At the favorite vantage points where the Washington Monument or the Lincoln Memorial enters the picture in reflected beauty the composition gains an en- chantment which thrills the national pride and embodies the picture post- card maker’s dream of heaven. It is customary among morose young writers to deride the American people for a lack of esthetic appreciation, and it is true we are still far from the rap- ture with which Japan enters upon its cherry-blossom festival. However, the country which counts the blooming of the cherry trees as among events of nationa] news importance can not be wholly blind, and other floral fetes are beginning to attract Nation-wide atten- tion. Tourists now go South to Charleston for the magnolias and to the Shenandoah Valley for the apple blossoms, while the dogwood and laure] of the Central States have their de- votees in a dozen localities, and the Berkshires come into their own in the autumn, when the hills are painted crimson, KENMORE, Kenmore, the home of George Wash- ington’s sister in Fredericksburg, Va., is more than a good example of Vir- ginia architecture, says the New York Times. To its. historic associations is added the rare distincton that a por- tion of its interior decoration was de- Signed from sketches made by Wash- ington himself. That he took deep in- terest in the details of Mount Vernon and in his gardens is well known. But Washington as an interior decora- tor is a novel role for him. Perhaps the fact that his mother lived for a time with his sister, Mrs. Fielding Lewis, at Kenmore, gave that place a special attraction for him. Fortunately, Col. Lewis’ house and the grounds have already been acquired by the Kenmore Association, and much of the restoration is done. But Ken- more, like many historic Virginia houses, passed through a long period of tribulations and suffered many a change during the century after it was sold by Washington’s sister. During the Civil War it was used as a hospital. Later it was part of a school. In 1914 it was about to be demolished and the land broken up into suburban lots. Fortunately, !t escaped destruction, and in 1922 a group of ladies of the D. A. R. obtained the money to buy it. But there was much work to be done on it. This has proceeded slowly but satisfactorily. Efforts have been made to restore the details of the moldings, woodwork and plaster work as thor- oughly as possible, and to refurnish it after the manner of the period. In these days of the popularity of al) kinds of “early American” furniture, the cost of refitting has necessarily been high. Upward of $10,000 is still needed.” te ig FS ¥ “y . * Blame It on the War.

MAN HELD KIN OF SLAIN Elkton, Md., April 14.—G. Clinton Logan, Cecil County sheriff, announced today that Edward Smith, 35, of Phila- delphia, who is held in jail here in con- nection with the burning of the Ma- honey farmhouse, 7 miles from Elkton, would face grand jury action. The next term of the jury is sched- uled for September. Smith was ar- rested nearly two weeks ago on charges of murder and arson. It was believed Mrs. Anna Jane Mahoney, 82, and her son Edward, 56. were murdered and their bodies burned in the fire which destroyed-the farmhouse early on March 30. It was decided to hold Smith, who is a nephew of Mrs. Maloney, after addi- tional evidence was uncovered in the last few days. The new evidence is withheld, but it has been learned that Mrs. Howard Scarborough, with whom Smith made his home in Philadelphia and who was with him when he was arrested in Newark, Del., has told the police that he possessed a $10 gold piece a few days before his arrest. A coin of this denomination was found several days ago on the floor of an automobile in which Smith was brought from Newark to Elkton the night of his arrest. He since has de- nied repeatedly he ever had a $10 gold piece. It has been said by neighbors that one of Mahoney’s prize possessions was a $10 gold piece which has father had given him four years ago, and which he carried all the time. In their attempts to trace the activi- ties of Smith from the time of the fire until he was arrested, about four days later, officials believe they have dis- covered that during the time Smith had spent more than $60. Smith was known to have been idle for several weeks prior to his arrest, however, and said he made the trip to Pleasant Hill, where his father lived, near the Mahoney farm, to get money. A stained coat found in the Scar- borough home in Philadelphia, which has been identified as the one Smith wore on his visit here, has been sent to a Baltimore chemist for analysis of the stains. The sheriff said no trace could be found among Smith’s belongings of clothes answering the description of those which several Pleasant Hill resi- dents said he wore during the visit, with the exception of the coat.

He 4 tells them his story, and they prom- Ise to ald him. vad d him LEXIS returned to his room in Mrs. Warschawsky’s flat. She was sour, ill-tempered Polish a - woman whom the boy did not like. She met him at the head of the stairs. “Look here,” she said. “I hear you lost your job. First thing you'll be owing me money, so you'd better get out to- hight. I have no time to waste with # People who can’t speak Polish, either.” The boy was astonished and offered to pay for his room in advance, al- though it was not due until the next day. Of course, ready money is not easy to refuse and she allowed him to stay. There was a letter waiting for him which she handed over when he gave her the rent. The boy retired to his room and opened the letter eagerly. It read thus: “Mister Wickskee: 1 no u but u don mo me. i geen you by grabsky’s one / time so i sposé u no de cops maid de — * * called Ole man beet it so dat time ! got dem papers in de box he swiped from u at miss Wit’s.

Alexis. knew where the. marble yard _ Was, and he determined to be there _ &t the appointed time. His spirits be- gan -to soar at the thought of getting the box for $10; then they took a sud- den tumble, for he recalled the terrible beating he had received on the night he accepted Grohogan’s invitation. “Was this another frame-up,” he The longer he thought about it the more sure he became that it was. He found it hard to decide whether to go or not, but he finally went. ; He failed to return. Next day he an appointment with Old King Brady which he failed to keep. Harry went after him and reported to Old ing Brady on his return that he was aid it was all a fake. “Hal” cried the old detective. “Per- haps.

He attempted to call out and got rap on the head. “None of dat,” said “Sure’s yer do it again Till croak yer—see?” Evidently there had been a loose end left to the rope and by its aid Alexis , into a rowboat and laid full length on the bottom. The boat began to move. “What can it all mean?” Alexis asked himself, and now he began to think of Grohogan. It wouldn’t do to try to he decided, so he lay as still as he could, hoping soon to be released from his uncomfortable position... At length a landing was made and Alexis lifted out of the boat and put into a wagon, in which he was treated to a long ride over a very rough street. When the wagon stopped, Pete got out and was gone a few minutes. When he returned, he said, “Well, I got it! He cashed in all right! “Come on, we have to carry him.” Alexis was carried in then and de- posited on what felt like a table. A gruff voice said, “Good-night, boys,” and then the outer door was shut and t. Oh, Ivan!” the gruff voice Alexis now recognized the voice as that of Ignatief Grohogan, his father’s former friend.

He won't believe me!” A man entered. eh?” “Yes, Ivan. He’s in that blanket. Remove it now,” was the reply. The untying began. “Alexis, do you know me? Do you know who I am?” Grohogan called. “You are Mr. Grohogan,” replied the boy. “Louder! I can’t hear you!” roared the man. “You mumble! You mumble! It is like a voice speaking from the tomb.” “Your Imperial Majesty, I suggest that you wait until I remove the blanket,” said Ivan. “Base serf, don’t dare to offer sug- gestions to me!” thundered Grohogan’s voice. “Attend to thy duty, and not highness, Majesty! Majesty! Do you hear?” Ivan did not answer. The blanket was removed. Alexis in Danger of His Life. Alexis started to sit up, but Grohogan began brandishing a big butcher knife over his head. Ivan fell back, and seemed to be in terror of him. It was Grohogan, all right, but terribly changed. One of his eyes was gone and the whole front of his fore- head was a scar, with a silver plate in the middle. His features, too, were distorted. Alexis could well believe the man insane. What Today Means to You April 15. . By MARY BLa — “ARIES.” F April 15 is your birthday, the best hours for you are from. 1:30 p. m. to 2:45 p. m., from 4 p. m. to 5:30 p. m. and from 8 p. m. to 9:50 p. m. The danger periods are from 9 4a. m. to 11 a. m. and from 6 p. m. to 7:30 > MR Z There will be sensed today a great feeling of energy and a keen desire to be actively diligent. This will, of course, assist you in the development of your plans. Care must be exercised to avoid a quarrelsome disposition, as the signs denote a tendency in this direc- tion. Children born today will express irritability anda tendency toward sul- lenness and moroseness. Correct disci- pline will do much to overcome these traits, as they have sunnier characteris- tics which only need to be developed. They will have good executive ability. You like and enjoy the best things of this world, but you are not always willing to pay their price. You want improvements without the taxes, you want results without the labor. There is nothing wrong with your ability, but you dre spasmodic in its display. Your energy is not a constant factor. You are ambitious, but not to such a de- gree that it stimulates you to untiring effort. You would rather do less and take less. Your pride or a short-lived enthusiasm often calls forth your best efforts and the world catches aglimpse of the latent talent which you possess. You only need a permanent stimulus or some factor to keep you on the up grade and you need never take a back seat “Bo you got him, You have a magic touch, an artist’s eye, hands that obey and many other native-born qualities which you only half appreciate. You heve no right to make so little use of the blessed tal- ents with which you are endowed. Others may flunk, but you have no pardonable excuse to be secondary in anything. It is true that you have a placid na- ture, a happy disposition, and that you never nag, but you do exasperate others by being too contented. Wake up! Spruce up! Be all that God intended you to be!

I chased him out of his body. Salute me. Kneel be- fore me or I’ll run you through with this butcher knife!” All this was said in Russian, which was the language he now used all the itme. . Grohogan now ordered Ivan from the room to prepare a place for his new “subject.” As soon as the door was closed he ordered Alexis to kneel to him on the table. “Bow your head lower—lower!” roared Grohogan. “Down, until it touches the table.” Alexis half expected to get his head chopped off with the butcher knife but nothing of that sort happened. “Go now and stand in the corner! I would hold converse with thee before we part,” cried Grohogan. He laid the knife on the table and stood looking at Alexis for a few moments tragically, and then spoke: “Alexis, before I chased Grohogan’s spirit away, I made him a promise. It was that I would try to get back those papers, letters and the confession he made. Where are they? Have you sent them to Russia?” “No, sir,” began Alexis, when the lu- natic in a voice of thunder roared at him: “Your Imperial Majesty! Say it!” “Your Imperial Majesty,” faltered Alexis. “The papers were stolen from me.” “Ha! Explain.” Alexis told the story feeling that the Man already knew it. He was right. Grohogan exclaimed, “Boy, thou tellest the truth, so at least thou art unlike thy father. The let- ters and papers are now in my pos- session. I purchased them from Grabsky for a thousand dollars. Ivan! Ivan!” The door opened and Ivan appeared. “Take him away and make him un- derstand.” “Yes, your Imperial Majesty,” replied Ivan, and led Alexis from the room and upstairs to a small room in the top of the house. “This is your place, Master Alexis, you see how the case stands with him.” “He is mad!” “Yes. But he is gane about some things. I don’t know what he intends to do with you, but I'll tell you this: much, if he don’t kill you, it will be no fault of mine.” With this savage re- mark, Ivan closed and bolted the door.

Old King Brady is after the loan sharks, Wives of Tomorrow ——By FRANCES McDONALD “We Mean It!” EAR Miss McDonald: “Just what D do you mean by stating that about one marriage out of every two is just a double tragedy?” That discovery of yours about matches the other world’s worst jolt from the pen of another mad enthusiast of woe—Ben Lindsay, who in sprivhtly vein remark- ed that “marriage today is just plain hell for most of those who go into it!” Now, what I rise to inquire is where do crepe hangers get these ideas? Why do you, Miss McDonald, make a statement that no married reader can possibly believe, and that unfortunate- ly, too many unmarried ones really will believe? One marriage out of two can not possibly be a “tragedy.” We should have been right with you had you said a “comedy”—but tragedy—never! One marriage out of every two is a joke, a farce, but not a tragedy. In fact, I think most people enjoy the mess they make of marriage. Haven’t you noticed the most unlucky always remarry, again and again? Where do you get the trag- edy of that? Isn’t it the biggest of jokes? Two people standing up in front of the world solemnly swearing—mind you, before God—that their feelings 50 years hence will be identical with their present happy aberration—are clown- ing. Take them seriously and the farce is unroarious. Fo~ one so much the sophisticate, are you not in this respect very naive? Are you sincerely aston- ished that love-light dims and vows are broken? Why, lady, do you “pick” on mar- riage? Here is a nice, moldy old tra- dition that hag worked and been work- er for centuries and done a lot of good in its time, and here you come along, you and your brood calm-disturbers, and start raisig whoopee, and what-not. For shame! Your mother believed in marriage—and I feel certain you are glad that she did, since it must have saved you much embarrassment—so why can not you, if not believing in it, at least quit pulling its whiskers to prove them fake? “I think you do a lot of damage, young one And I think you should be ordered to marry and stay married. It’s much the safest thing for little la- dies who are given to thinking. A woman can do a deal of damage when she starts to think. That’s why we keep them busy with other pastimes. So to your bridge club, and let withered in- stitutions wither in peace. Marriage! Ye gods, that is good. It is to laugh!’ Well, go on, “Methuselah” mister, and laugh! We do not mind, but we still see nothing funny about it—even its whiskers. mot by En a in The CssalRed Sham y an ad in the c of The Washington Post. a Ae pa likened unto Put a Smart New Qutfit on Your aa Chauffeur Trt HECHT Co. “lI Street at Seventh” The Opera w Gently the maestro taps with his slender baton, and a hush enfolds itself softly over the audience.

By H. I. PHILLIPS. “INNOCENCE,” OR A NIGHT CLUB HOSTESS. Q. Now, then, was liquor sold in your club? A. What was the word again, please? Liquor. How do you spell it? L-I-Q-U-O-R. It’s a kind of sandwich, isn’t it? Do you mean to sit there and tell the court you do not know what liquor is? A. I haven't the least idea. If it isn’t a sandwich it’s a kind of salad isn’t it? Q. Certainly not. A. Oh, I Know now; it’s a jelly. I remember hearing somebody speak of it. Q@. Don’t yon know very well that liquor is a liqutd and comes in a bot- tle? A. Really, I don’t know anything about it. I have never seen any in my whole life. All I know about such things is hearsay. Q. How about wine? A. I have a slight idea what wine is; it’s a crying noise made by a dog. Q. I’m talking about champagne. You know what champagne is, do you not? A. When 1 was a very little girl I remember seeing the word in a dic- tionary and asking my dear old mother, bless her, what it was. Q. Did she tell you? A. Certainly. She said it was Slo- vakian for olive oil. Judge (interrupting). What we are trying to determine is whether people fever drank intoxicating beverages in your place. Was there ever any drunk- enness there? A. Drunkenness in a New York night club? Why, I never heard of such a thing! Judge—You don’t mind my asking the question? A. Well, it wasn’t very gentlemanly, and I think you should apologize. PHILLIPS Jude—Will it be all right if we all apologize? A. Yes. Judge, Prosecuting Attorney and Court Attendants—We respectfully apologize for bringing up the question of liquor and for even intimating that there would. be any intoxication in a night club. It was quite rude of us to ask. Do you accept the apology? A. Yes, but don’t let it happen again. ADD NEEDIEST CASES. Henry Ford has $72,000,000 less than he had a ago, his cash on hand now being limited to $582,629,563. Well, he'll just have to make last year’s straw hat go another season. That’s what comes of jilting Lizzie. Bridget Farry, hotel scrubwoman, held nearly five months in the Roth- stein murder mystery, has at last been released on bond. The police have evidently made enough progress to come to the definite conclusion that the crime was not committed with a mop handle. PRESENTING GEN. DAWES. ‘Gen. Dawes has been chosen as Am- bassador to Great Britain, which is just one more proof that a show that does well in this country is a safe bet for a trial in England. Mr. Sincleir’s case has been in the courts so long that he is practically in the position of a man going to jail for ee committed in his early boy- hood. : New Chinese Gunbost. — Shanghai (U.P.).—The gunboat Yung Sui, the latest addition to Na- tionalist China’s fast growing navy, has been launched at Kiangnan- Dock. It is China’s forty-seventh warship and is the first of the vessels to be built for China’s fourth naval squadron.

WASHINGTON: MONDAY, APRIL 15, 1929. NATIONALS BEATEN BY GIANTS IN 10 INNINGS, 2 VoigtandHeld Defeated by D.C. Pair 5 and 4; Latter Is Individual Star. Indian Spring Players Beat McCarthy and McCallum. By HENRY LITCHFIELD WEST. EORGE J. VOIGT, three-time win- ner of. the North and South amateur championship at Pine- hurst, and Eddie Held, also famous as a golfer, were defeated yesterday after- noon in a four-ball match on the course of the Bannockburn Club by Harry G. Pitt, of the Manor Club and Middle Atlantic champion, and John C. Shorey, District Junior champion and a member of the Bannockburn Club, 5 and 4, in an 18-hole contest. The members of the Bannockburn Club, naturally jubilant over this un- expected result, ‘gratified because their fellow club membDer was the star performer in the competition. Playing the first nine in - $5, par figures, Shorey had halved the first hole with Held in a par 4, had won the secohd by running down a 15-foot putt for a birdie 4 and had also won the third in a par 4 when Held took three putts and Voigt had failed to reach the green on his second. Pitt figured in the fourth hole with & par 4, two putts on the green, but it was rey who secured a half on the _ Sixth with a par 3 and another half on the ninth. In the outward round Voigt and Held had only one hole to their credit, the eighth, when Held ran down a four-foot putt for a birdie 2. It was rather remarkable that in the fourteen holes which were played this was the only hole which Voigt and Held won. They were 3 down at the turn. On the tenth hole Pitt again came to the rescue by chipping into the cup from off the green for a birdie 4, when his partner could not do better than 6, after an excursion into the woods. With the next three holes halved, Shorey put the contest away on ice by scoring a par 4 on the fourteenth hole for the decisive win. Throughout the match Voigt was persistently short » of the green on his approaches and. “” Held was driving a long ball but was too frequently off the fairway. Both - . Voigt and Held were also handicapped by their inability to properly gauge the “greens, both of them losing several holes by taking three putts.

Ry CAPT. J. _ prospects of all major league teams by sizteen baseball experts of the staffs of Pitt and Shorey Score, | L. CARNEY | (Baseball Expert, Tri-State News Service). ITTSBURG, Pa., April 14—The Pittsburgh Pirates may finish the 1929 baseball season in better than third place, but if such an unforeseen occurence is registered even the team’s most sanguine admirers and the Pittsburgh sport writers will have guessed wrong. There is no inclination here to overestimate the Pirates’ strength this year. If Pie Traynor, around whom the infield is built, comes through in good physical shape Barney Dreyfuss’ aggregation has a change to make things warm for the team that wins the pennant. Otherwise, third position will Manager Donie Bush isn’t doing any predgiting this year for his Pirates. Such remarks as the skipper let drop casually indicate that he believes the team will get away to a much better start than last season or the year be- fore, the only two campaigns in which the Corsairs have been under his di- rection. Manager Bush, however, points to his twirlers with pride, praises his outfield, and is hoping that the remodeled infield will not collapse in its maiden appearance. With the splendid pitching staff hold- ing up and Pie Traynor in physical trim to play the ball he usually turns in, the Corsairs can not be counted out of the running, otherwise they can only be considered contenders at this dis- tance. High Grade Pitching Is Trump Card of the Pirates. ' Undoubtedly, the trump card of the Pirates will be high-grade pitching, the lack of which put them on the rocks last year and rendered impotent the most powerful attack in the big show. This spring Remy Kremer appears to be back in form that made him leader of the National League hurlers two years in succession. Burleigh Grimes may not win 26 games this season, but he looks good enough for 20, at least, even though he is a trifle late in swing- ing into form. Jess Petty, acclaimed by many as the best left-hander in the league, will be @ clear gain to the team. Carmen Hill, is an uncertain factor, but Fred Fus- sell and Ralph Dawson seem much improved. Steve Swetonic and Larry be about their limit. French, the two new acquisitions, look like real pitchers. Backing up the Pirate pitching staff unequalled in other league teams for the number of first class men, is a team that, if Traynor’s best services for the whole season could be con- Sidered, would rank as being strong enough to win the pennant. Bush Has Given Up Idea of Using Traynor at Short. Manager Bush has given up the idea of using Traynor at shortstop with Grantham or Adams or Stoner at third, and instead has sent Tray’ or back to the hot corner, has stationed Adams at shortstop and Bartell at second and has returned Grantham to the outfield. With four such men as Paul and Lloyd Waner, Grantham and Brickell at his command following the latest of Comorsky’s form reversals, Manager Bush unquestionably has one of the best outfields in captivity. Trials at first, second and third bases have dem- onstrated that Grantham does not be- long in the infield, so he may find his proper place in the left garden and if so, George and the two Waners will form a combination without an equal for hitting power, fielding ability and speed. The Bucs flashed the strongest attack in the majors last year, they are equal to the best in speed and with their pitching vastly improved, they will have a fine chance for the pennant this year if Traynor comes through in old time form. Otherwise they will have to play their best ball at all times to finish in third place. Amateurism and Prohibition Present Parallel Problems By WESTBROOK PEGLER. EW YORK, April 14.—The effort to enforce amateurism among the athletes runs generally parallel with the effort to enforce the Volstead act. The A. A. U. is now engaged in a survey of its problems, and for the first time ig entertaining a proposition to modify the rules so as to permit of amateurism of considerable professional] content by volume. The A. A. U. is something like the MMBb Py EA Sidn 14th and G Streets N. W.

It is sup- posed to enforce a law which declafes certain acts to be criminal which are not criminal in themselves. Moreover. this law challenges the natural tend- ency of human kind to profit by their gifts. Consequently the A. A. U. is con- stantly at war with a great many scofflaws among the amateurs as well as with distinguished hypocrites who are politically amateur, but personally professional. I believe the prohibition department has similar problems. Mr. Avery Brundage, the president of the A. A. U., by direction of the executive committee, has sent to the 157 regional governors, roughly, corresponding to the district enforcement chiefs of the prohibition department, a questionnaire of 66 points, some of which suggest that the A. A. U. has come almost to the point of acknowledging that gov- ernment is not much good if it does not govern. Defining Amateurism by Local Option Has Disadvantages. The A. A. &. has not gone so far as to propose a referendum among the athletes to deteX{nine just how amateur they wish to be. In this respect the ef- fort to enforce strict amateurism has nothing to match the Wisconsin elec- tion on the matter of prohibition. But for that matter, the prohibition agen- cles did not approve the Wisconsin ref- erendum, either. So on the whole the A. A. U. and Mr. Brundage, in consent- ing to discuss modification of the ama- teur laws at all, are a little more re- sponsive to the will of the governed than the Congress of the United States. Thus far nobody has suggested that amateurism be defined by local option and perhaps it were better not to sug- gest such a thing at all. If such a’plan were adopted, one political subdivision of the A. A. U. might decide that any one who makes less than $100,000 a year is not a professional in fact, just as the State of New York, under States’ rights, might decide that 8-year- old Bourbon is not intoxicating in fact. Thus, an amateur with a fairly lucrative practice in his home juris- diction on reporting for competition in another jurisdiction, might find his amateurism subject to challenge, just as a New York citizen, journeying through Indiana with a case of non- intoxicating whisky, might become the victim of a misunderstanding. Still, the same situation exists at the pres- ent time in international athletic rela- tions and there seems to be no diffi- culty. American Amateurs Have Immunity Privilege. A French amateur, for instance, is permitted to capitalize his athletic dis- tinction to the limit of his acumen, but is permitted to compete in the United States against American ama- teurs who would be deamateurized for the same conduct. I do not mean to say that the French amateurs make more money than the Americans, but merely that their rules permit them to make more money, whereas the Amer- icans get theirs under a privilege cor- responding to the congressman’s im- munity from bag-inspection when re- turning from Panama. They make money, but it would be an imputation against their honor to inspect the sources of their income. Although the 157 regional governors of the A. A. U. have been invited to vote on a proposition to sanction open meets. presenting both amateurs and professions, Mr. Dan Ferris, the secre- tary of the A. A. U., states that: sug- gestion is likely to be voted down. He thinks an element of amateurs would be sure to demand and receive money for competing and is disturbed by the idea of having to maintain surveillance over these athletes under such condi- tions. Battle of Enforcement and Evasion in All Sports. “It would be almogt impossible to get the evidence on them,” Mr. Ferris says. “It is hard enough to enforce the ama- teur laws in strictly amateur meets.” The present amateur laws are quite se- vere, but, taking the Indiana prohibi- tion law as @ model, they could be made more s0.

Braxton to Start in Opener Tomorrow. Johari Is Confident That West Has Abil- ity as Hitter. By FRANK H. YOUNG. (Staff Correspondent of The Post.) EW YORK, April 14-—With the ‘most successful exhibition sea- , son in the history of a Washing- ton Club ended here this afternoon, Manager Walter Johnson tonight led his men back to the Capital City where they will impatiently await the gong which sends them in action against | Many Seats Unsold For Opener Tuesday Approximately 12,000 unreserved seats will go on sale at the American League Baseball Park Tuesday morn- ing at 9 o'clock, officials of the Washington Club announced last night. These seats will be on sale as long as they last and orders will be filled at the ticket windows only. There are some unsold reserved seats also, the club officials stated. These may be obtained at any time before the game until the supply is exhausted. Racine Connie Mack’s Athletics in the Ameri- can League opener Tuesday. Johnson has booked a workout in the Clark Griffith Stadium tomorrow morning when the final training licks will be put in. , Just before boarding the rattler here for home, Johnson explained his out- field policy, which has puzzled fans, players and scribes, who were wonder- ing why Sam Rice was being kept out of action as a regular. Red Barnes has been playing well and hitting hard and consistently, but Sam West has been unable to get started at the tee and, in view of Rice’s .328 stick mark of last season and the form he has shown this spring his inactivity has caused considerable comment. “We are trying to develop a young team,” said Johnson, “and I know that West is a much better hitter than he has shown himself to be this spring. I am confident that once he gets started, he will go like a house afire, the same as he did when given a real chance during the second half of last season.” Johnson Expects West to Be Star Players for Years. “As a fielder and thrower, he ranks with the best, while he has great spirit and never gives up. When he finally develops, he likely will be a star for years, as he is only 22, and I am Satis- fied that he has the natural ability to make it worth my while waiting for him. : “We have been winning consistently all spring with West not hitting par- ticularly well and as long as we can); continue to do so I plan to use him even if he never gets a hit. Of course, if we run into trouble and hit a slump after the season starts, I'll have to change my plans, but right,now I am determined to give West more time and I am not worried a bit that he will dis- appoint. He has always borne the repu- tation for being a natural hitter and you can bet that he'll come through. “As to Rice, fans need not worry but that he wlil get plenty of chances to earn his salary. He's ready to step in there any time I need him and I !ook for him to save many a game for us as a pinch hitter even if I don’t use him day in and day out. Having a fellow like him around makes any manager feel good.” Johnson will not decide upon his opening day pitcher until after tomor- row’s workout. Because of his record last season, Garland Braxton was men- tally booked by “Sir Walter” trom the day he signed as manager. “Sad Sam” Jones has looked s0 ex- ceptionally good, however, while Brax- ton was punished by the Giants in Washington Thursday; that Johnson is undecided which of the two he will de- pend upon to give his team a good start. Little Extra Rest Does Not Hurt Jones and Braxton. As a matter of fact, both are ready, and either is likely to pitch winning ball, judging from grapefruit league performances. The one that does not go Tuesday will draw the Wednesday assignment, with Hadley, Marberry and Liska following. Althougr Johnson plans to use these five as regular start- ers, he figures upon using Hadley and Marberry every fourth day, as these big fellows must be given plenty of work to hold their effectiveness. On the other hand, a little extra rest does not seem to hurt either Jones or Braxton, and they will not work quite as often as the others under present plans, which are, of course, subject to change according to conditions. The infield is likely to function as it is through the entire season in the ab- sence of injuries, Johnson declares, while he also sdds that, instead of rat- ing Muddy Ruel as a one-man catching Staff, as has been the case in the past, he ranks .tuel, Tate and Spencer about even. As Tate is a southpaw hitter, and the Nationals have too many of these in the line-up now, he probably will do all of his work when right- handers are pitching against the Nats.

New York Clubs Are Favorites in Races; Yanks Bow 16 Teams Await Start of Pennant Races Tomorrow. By HERBERT W. BARKER. (Associated Press Sports Writer). ogy major league baseball teams tomorrow will hit the trail that leads annually to pennants or disillusionment. On or before Oc- tober 6, closing day of the 1929 cam- paign, fourteen teams will be left free to offer alibis, while the remaining two are battling it out in the world series. So: far as expert opinion goes, they could start playing the world series now with the New York Yankees, Amer- ican League champions for the last three years, meeting their metropoli- tan rivals, the New York Giants, who have gained the doubtful honor of be- ing picked to capture the National League crown this year. But fortunately for the nonexperts and the fans, pennants are not decided just that way. Much can happen to a club in a 154-game schedule and the experts are wrong just as often as they are right—oftener some might be tempted to say. But the Yankees, despite some pitch- ing worries and an infield experiment that is yet to be tested, seem to rate a jump or two ahead of the American League field. Giants’ Advantage on Paper Is Slight; Others Strong. The Giants’ “paper” margin in the National League is so slight as to be almost nonexistent. Chicago, St. Louis and Pittsburgh all appear strong enough to win the pennant if they can get the “preaks.”’ Chief opposition to the Yanks’ fourth consecutive championship probably will come from Connie Mack’s Philadelphia Athletics, the St. Louis Browns, the De- troit Tigers and Washington Nationals. Cleveland, Chicago and Boston appear slated for the last three positions with- out debate. Mack has made virtually no change in his Athletic line-up, which gave the Yankees many an anxious moment last summer; the Browns, under skill- ful handling by Dan Howley, surprised the experts by finishing third and may do s0 again; the Tigers, of Detroit, with great potentialities, have Bucky Harris at the helm this year; Wash- ington, with Walter Johnson as man- ager, has compiled a sensational record in spring training games and looks like the “dark horse” of the coming cam- paign. But over and above all these teams hangs. the menace in the bats of Ruth, Gehrig, Lazzeri and Meusel, of the Yankees. Miller Huggins think those bats will give him another title. National League Battle Looks Like Another Real Struggle. The National League campaign, at this moment, looks like another ding- dong battle. The Giants, with a well- balanced club, have the advantage of John McGraw’s genius for getting the most out of his men, but the Cubs. with Hornsby at second base, look al- most as formidable. The St. Louis Cardinals, champions last year, are con- ducting an infield experiment that may or may not turn out and Billy South- worth must work with a pitching staff that is rapidly getting no younger. The Pittsburgh Pirates, with a great batting punch and a fine pitching staff, may drop many games before Donie Bush arrives at an effective infield. For the rest, Cincinnati would ap- pear to be the strongest of the indi- cated division clubs; Brooklyn, bestt by injuries, hardly can rise higher than sixth; the Phillies, handicapped ‘by the injury to Tommy Thevenow, may have to fight it out with the Boston Braves to keep out of the cellar.

' to Dodgers, Ruth Fans Twice —— i Hendrick Hits Homer With Bases Full, Scere, 7-1. EW YORK, April 14 (N.Y.W.NS.). Those rabid Platbush fans like their baseball, hot or cold. The colder it is the better some of them en- joy their favorite pastime. : Despite the 10,000 brave Brooklyn fans trekked their way into Ebbet’s Field to witness the final game between the clouting Yan- kees and the Robins. They came first to see the Robins beat the world’s champions and second | to get another close-up of the “home- run king” driving the ball over the right-field wall, a trick that he twice performed with much gesture in the game on Saturday. The Robins beat the world’s champions, 7 te 1, without much trouble and gained an even break on the two-game series, but the Babe was not feeling just right, and not once during the afternoon did he even drive the ball out of the infield. Twice he ingloriously fanned. Hendrick Supplies Thrill, Hitting Homer With Three on Base. It was a Brooklyn player who sup- plied the big punch and real thrill of the afternoon for the fans. With the bases filled in the eighth inning, Har- vey “Gink” Hendrick, now at third base for the Robins, hit one of Ed Walsh’s best left-handed curves a terrific clout over the right-field wall and four runs trotted over the plate amid much ex- citement in the grandstand and bleach- ers.

TENNYSON, N one of the mose spirited games of the season, the Scotch Soccer Eleven yesterday captured the local international championship when it eked out a 2 to 1 win over the German team. The victors scored the winning goal in the last four minutes of the second extra period, which was played because at the end of the regulation time the teams were deadlocked, 1 to 1. American and English teams were eliminated in earlier rounds. The game wag bitterly contested and frequent wordy battles of the players threatened -to reach serious conse- quences. But no combat occurred until the final extra period when a member of the German Club and a Scotch player exchanged blows with little damage to either. The game had been underway only three minutes when the first score was registered. The Scotch started from the opening whistle to bombard the German uprights and the agile Heise was kept moving to prevent a score in the first minute of play. Just as three minutes had elapsed Jack Watts headed in the first marker from a scramble. Horning, Heise Save German Goal From Scores. From that point on the teams strug- gled fiercely, the play moving rapidly from one goal to the other without either side having an advantage. Horn- ing and Heise saved the German goal on numerous occasions, while Hugh Lamont, playing one of the best games of his career, kept his forwards fed with accurate lofts. The half ended with the score standing 1 to 0 in favor of the Scotch. About six minutes of the second half had passed when Wolf broke away and shot one past the Scotch goalie for the equalizing marker. From this point on it wag anybody’s game, and both sets of forwards supplied the large crowd with thrills aplenty with fast passing and terrific shots at the uprights. Bryden was going good écr the Scotchmen at this time on the front line, while Rob- son was defending in fine style. Endress was a tower of strength for the Ger- mans during this crucial period. The first extra period passed very much in the same order as the second regulation half, but in the final ten minutes the Scotch pressed almost con- tinuously, and with but four minutes to go McLean put his team in the lead. The Germans protested the goal to the ‘| referee, claiming that it was offside, and as the crowd surged on the field the word was passed that the trailing team had refused to continue to play. Most of Fans Leave Thinking Game Over Due to Dispute. Practically all of the spectators left the pitch, thinking the game over, but after a ten-minute delay Manager Gus Heller, of the Germans, informed the referee that he was ready to continue, and the remaining four minutes were played, with neither team threatening seriously to score. Yesterday’s maten closes the local soccer season, with the following teams having been crowned champions of the various leagues and associations: Wash- ington and Southeastern District Soc- cer Association, British United, cham- pions; Washington Soccer League, Clan MacLennan, champions; Capital City Soccer League, Rockville, champions; Scholastic League.

Joe Judge retired from first at this stage because he could not control his chattering teeth, and this was the only untoward incident until the sixth when the Nats benefited from singles by Goslin and Bluege and an error, by Jackson, but failed to score. This was due to a double play separating the two bingles. The Giants used their half of the sixth round to knot the count, although it took an Alphonse-Gaston act by Hayes and Barnes to do it. Marberry. opened his shift on the hill by walking Welsh and Reese sacrified. Lindstrom scratched an infield hit on which Bluege made a great one-hand stop and throw, and then came a pop fly to right off Ott’s bat. Hayes called for the catch, al- though Barnes was in the better posi- tion to make the throw home, and then, when it was too late, told Barnes to take it and it dropped safe, letting Welsh score. It looked as though the Nats would break the deadlock in their eighth when Lindstrom gave Myer life as a starter by pegging badly to Terry. Gos- lin walked and Myer took third when Barnes forced the Goose midway. On Bluege’s roller, Myer was killed at the plate, however, and then Gooch fanned for the third out. A third Washington double play pre- vented Ott’s opening hit in the ninth from being used, while West pried the lid off of the tenth with a one-base liner, only to finally die at third. Then the Giants used their half of the extra frame to take the decision. A. A. U. NOW LINKED WITH PROHIBITION CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11. breath.

These organizations are among the largest branches of the A. A. U. and their approval of the proposed District of Columbia Association is con- sidered highly important. Ornstein Favors Creation of Capital Association. Ornstein himself favors the creation of the new association and in a letter calling for the committee’s vote ~x- a his sentiments officially as fol- “I feel confident the proposed new association, if accepted in the A. A. U., Will be very active and one that will be a credit to the national body.” Benedetto answered Sy writing: “If the South Atlantic is willing to give up the territory in question, I vote yes for the District of Solumbia Associa- tion.” The South Atlantic Associa- tion voted to allow the District to with- draw more than two weeks ago. “Kindly register my vote as yes with _ Tegard to the proposed new associa- _ tion,” Steers told Ornstein in a letter.

Neer OnNOCoO- a ~ ix) - FIRST VOTES a Heights Nines A —— _U. TO MEET MARINES TODAY Lean Week for Dis- trict Colleges; Only 7 Games Listed. UR college young men will start off a lean week on the diamond today when the victoryless Cath- olic University Nine makes its seventh bid to win a game in a clash with the Marines at Quantico, Va. There will be six other contests during the week, with all but one listed for local fields. To those interested in the fortunes (no pun intended) of the Catholic Nine, {tt may be pleasing to learn that the Brookland outfit, to a man, is in no- wise disheartened over its six-game losing streak, but on the other hand, packs just as much pep and confidence as was shown on the opening day of its season. Murphy Likely to Play First For Cardinals This Week. From Coaches McAuliffe and Clark down to the water boy, the Cardinals anticipate shaking the losing habit this week, if not in today’s game, then in one of the other two they will play. They are assured of a hard battle to- day—playing the Devil Dogs on the lat- ter’s diamond—but against Bucknell Thursday and the Marines Saturday they will perform under more benign conditions, as those games will be staged on the Brookland field before home crowds. ‘The tireless Cardinal mentors prob- ably will effect another change in the line-up in an effort to strengthen the team’s offense, placing Gene Murphy, formerly a pitcher and a good hitter, at first bese, and shifting Capt. Bo Mansfield back to second base. A wrenched shoulder muscle prevented Murphy from returning to the mound this season, but the injury does not hamper the throwing he will have to do in occupying the initial sack. Lou Hurley, the husky New Haven sophomore, who so far has not shown the form that made him a standout last year in freshmen ranks, will hurl against the Marines. Heretofore this season his contro] has been lacking, but the coaches now Believe he has im- prived in this respect and figure he will turn in a winning performance. Maryland and Navy Nines Meet at Annapolis. With the major league opening here tomorrow, most of the college tossers will take a day off. Gallaudet, how- ever, Will meet the Tank School Nine, of Fort Leonard Wood. Georgetown will entertain Mount 8t. Mary’s, of Emmittsburg, Md., at the Hilltop on Wednesday. Catholic will take on Bucknell Thursday. Maryland will resume on Friday, with Virginia Poly as its opponent at College Park, and will go back for more action on Saturday, crossing bats with Navy at Annapolis, while Catholic engages the Marines at Brookland. Maryland’s Lacrosse Team, which easily has won three games, today will battle Hobart College at Geneva, N. Y., and the Terrapin Tennis Team is to invade Brookland on Friday to meet Catholic’s Netmen.

ORNS © To WJSV ‘New Network Broadcast . System, Supported by Seattle Man, Seeking Use of Mt. Vernon Sta- tion to Reach Capital. By ROBERT D. HEINL. Tt has been learned that the Ameri- . Broadcasting Co., a new country- wide network now being formed, is Angling for station WJSV, et Mount “Vernon, .Va.. as its contact point with the National Capital. The company is -mot endeavoring to muy WJSV, but ~eimply to secure it for the broadcasting “of their programs in Washington. - As yet, the negotiations are under- giood to be in a preliminary stage. but, if successful, would give local listeners «the entertainmen$g offered by the third ‘big chain, the other two being the Na- tional Broadcasting Co.. which comes through WRC, and the Columbia Broad- ting System, the outlet cf which is here. , No time has been set for the inaugu- ration of the new system. It is report- that 39 stations have already been “dined up, with a scheduled network of »82 stations by the time the chain ac- -fually begins broadcasting. The net- “work is being backed by Adolph S. Lin- den, a wealthy realtor and banker of ,Seattie Mr. Linden, who was in the “Capital recently, was quoted as saying ~ that he would invest several millions -Of dollars in the enterprise if necessary. The chain already has nine of the ‘most powerful Pacift: Coast stations funder its control. They dot the West .Coart from Seattle to Los Angeles, in- ‘eluding Spokane, Portland, Oreg., San Francisco and other cities. At present »these nine stations are tire West Coast Tiook-up of the Columbia Broadcasting “System. With Mr. Linden and his associates organizing their own coast- _&D-coast network, the presumption is F That these stations will be disassociated Arom Columbia. ** Through Eric H. Palmer, jr.. of New “York, the Eastern representative, the ‘new chain has obtained 30-day options Sto buy four Brooklyn stations, WBBD, WLTH, WCGU, and WSGH-WSEA. The shetwork is looking for a key station in “New York and may combine wave eiengths and resources of the four *Brookliyn stations to give them the *mecessary strength in that important =territory. Many of the programs on the *new system will originate in the far ~ West and oh the West Coast. However, > studios will be maintained also in “.New York, Chicago, Washington and “the other important cities. * Station WJSV, owned by the Inde- “pendent Publishing Co., operates on a “frequency of 1,460 kilocycles, with 10,- 3000 watts power, which is twenty times Yas much power as that used by any “other station in the district. Despite vite high frequency for a program broad- “casting station, WJSV, like KSTP, at 4St. Paul, which operates on the same *frequency and power, has been heard . by practically every State in the Union *and some foreign countries. It is rumored that Carl Butman, sec- ““yetary of the Radio Commission, will “yesign June 1 to go with a commercial ‘broadcasting company. Mr. Butman, & >, r Washington correspondent, suc- -@eeded Sam Pickard as secretary of the e@ommission November.1, 1927. “According to the latest announce- nent, President Hoover expects to ap- nt the two new radio commissioners, : to Pickard in the Middle ‘West and Caldwell in the East, next k. The understanding is that Gen. ries McK. Saltzman, former head the Signal Corps, has been chosen the Middle Western post, but, al- h a number of names have been mentioned, the Eastern man, if he has Been selectéd, is as yet is an unknown | tity. = WOL, operated by the American casting Co., of this city, has filed application with the Radio Commis- asking modification of its station nse increasing the power from 100 @o 250 watts and a change of frequency | 1,310 to 1,270 kilocycles. It is wobable a date for hearing the case “Gill be set in the near future. 10:8 | Weather reports. ~ WORK’S BRIDGE Mr. Work has prepared a booklet giving detailed information con- cerning the correct way to play Progressive Auction Bridge. This booklet will be sent to all readers without charge. Mr. Work will also ‘answer without charge any Bridge questions. Requests must be ac- companied by an addressed, stamped, return envelope, and addressed to Mr. Milton C. Work, care of this newspaper. (This article is intended for the Pridge novice.) * LAYERS taking up Bridge, quickly Pp learn that there are two kinds of ~~ doubles, one kind called “In- ormatory” and the other “Business;” “and they find no difficulty in grasping Sthe distinction between them—viz., “that, generally speaking, partnér’s busi- wmess double should be passed and his Zhformatory double should be over- galled. The difficulty comes in being 4 that partner will understand what “your double means, and in being sure ‘athat you understand whether partner’s uble is informatory or means busi- mess; nothing is more fatal than for ‘ne partner to pass when the other ‘desires a bid, or to bid when a pass ~ Any bid means business if the dou- 4ler’s partner has previously bid or Jloubled; or if the doubled bid is two ar more No Trumps, or four or more of ny suit. There are a few variations exceptions (to be explained next Monady). but the above simple rule “sovers most of the doubles which would made. * This means that practically any -Gouble is for information when the bled bid is one No Trump or one, g wo or three of a suit—provided always #the doubler’s partner has done nothing ‘Put pass up to that time, "se A few exam (Dealer) bids one sppade, West passes, North bids either *Awo or three Spades and East doubles. That double would be informatory: it _ ges a bid of less than four of a suit and —.. has not previously bid or bled, The fact that two adversaries ‘bid does not affect the interpre- ation of the double. But change the » bidding a little and make it: South one *. Spade, West double. North two Spades. ‘East double, and East’s double would be bu tner (West) has NAA—Arlingtor. 5s a. m. 3:45 and 10:05 p.

But the new collections have revealed an important number of models, which show a definite tendency to rebel against this now almost stereotyped way of ornamenting an evening gown. Which is to say that several of the Haute Curture designers are turning their imaginations at the moment in the direction of skirt embellishment, and the result is a surprising num- ber of evening dresses, which have an entirely plain, almost austere bodice, surmounting a skirt in which the de- We may see, for example, a severely plain black satin bodice with a skirt of black tulle over a satin underskirt, both foundation and the flounces of tulle being richly embroidered in strass, beads, paillettes or sequins. Or tiers of biack chiffon over a slip of gold or sil- ver lame, the chiffon heavily decked with strass. Or a many tiered skirt, with each tier edged in a band of strass. All of which makes for the greatest elegance and loveliness as Miladi moves across a brilliantly lighted room, each swirl and swish of her skirts set- ting up a scintillating shower of tiny reflected flashes. * s — * Coolie coats!

And we tell you how, in this week's illustrated leaflet, for which you need send only a stamped, self-ad- dressed envelope to the Dare Art De- partment of The Washington Post.

MINOR INJURY TREATMENTS. HE general spread of information about infections, on the one hand, and first aid, on the other, has caused some practices to creep in whicn do more harm than good. Everybody has seen workingmen with cuts and abra- sions on their hands, going about their work, disregarding their wounds, and having no trouble. On the other hand, we have seen badly crippled hands, some the result of neglect, some the result of too much treatment, some due to im- proper treatment. The question calling for judgment and experience in minor hand wounds, is how to steer between the rocks, too little treatment, too much treatment and improper treatment, and come out without danger to life or to the injured member. The advantage of a continuous hot boracic dressing especially in infected, neglected wounds can not be ques- tioned, yet the ordinary wounds will do better without wet dressings than with them. There is a rule to the effect that — * 4 “Parking With Peggy” !

The Fashion letter appears Sunday— look for it! Au Revoir! HOW TO KEEP WELL By DR. W. A. EVAN wounds kept dry suppurate less than those which are kept moist. The warm, moist dressing sometimes promotes the growth of bacteria and sometimes harm is done by waterlogging the tissues. For many wounds some slight dry cleaning with a little painting with an antiseptic is all that can be done with advantage, and sometimes the painting can be omitted. Therefore, if the plant physician is disposed to put on nothing more than a protective dressing do not feel you are being neglected. Dr. Kennon is very much opposed to squeezing wounds, boils, abscesses and such. Squeezing doubtless does good in snake bite and it may do good in dog bite, but that about ends the list. In abscesses, boils and other local in- fections, squeezing spreads infection through the tissues and otherwise does unmitigated harm. It is not always desirable to open a boil. Nature can do that with far less danger of spreading infection than a man can do with a knife. But whether the boil be opened naturally or arti- ficially it should not be squeezed. There is almost no excuse for using a poultice. Certainly poltices do more harm than good 99 times out of 100. It happens every now and then that a hand wound goes wrong because it has been overwashed with carbolic solution. Likewise, because the water used in washing has been too hot or the wound has been pressed too firmly. Bacteria are not the only reason for wounds going wrong. To remove a splinter or thorn, Ken- non advises that a safety razor blade be used to shave off the outer skin. ‘The blade. will catch the, thorn and pull it out. For controlling the infection and swelling of an ingrowing nail he stuffed cotton under the center. — —— RAYNAUD'S DISEASE. J.S. writes: Is there a cure for Ray- naud's disease and what is it caused from? REPLY. Raynaud's disease is a disorder of the nerves which control the small blood vessels of the small arteries and capil- laries. It genérally affects some end Or edge, such as fingers, toes, nose or When mild the symptoms are those of poor circulation. When more severe it seems akin to chilblains; when most severe, to dry gangrene. There are delicate methods of studying capil- laries, by using which we are slowly | accumulating information about this group of disorders. Based on these more recent studies, severe Raynaud’s is now being operated on. WINNIE WINKLE, THE BREAD WINNER MISTER WINKLE, IF 4 MR WHARTON CALLS, WILL MR. BIBBS JUST GAVE YOU PLEASE NOTIFY MR.

That hair is used for making ropes and tent covers, around the shoulders is not so long, but it serves for the weaving of fine, strong cloth. Another value of the tame yak is the milk which the “cows” produce. This milk is very rich and makes good butter. In Africa there is a beast called “the okapi” which is less known than the yak.

Attys., BEALL STARS AS CELTICS SCORE Wilkes-Barre Beaten, 4-3, by Alexandria Semipros. Special to The Washington Post. LEXANDRIA, April 14—Bunching their hits in the third, sixth and seventh, the St. Mary's Celtics nosed out the Wilkes-Barre Club of the New York-Pennsylvania League, 4 to 3, on the Baggett’s Field in Alexandria. The proleaguers, after getting off to a good start by scoring one run in the first inning, fell short by one run in a rally in the seventh, netting two runs. Walter Beall, just recently made a free agent by Commissioner Landis, major league baseball czar, hurled for the Celtics and turned in an impres- sive effort despite the fact that wild- ness got him into tyuble in the scor- ing innings of the Wilkes-Barre club- men. Beall struck out eleven and walked six. Lemeric Plays Neat Third Base For Alexandria Team. Wilkes-Barre, visiting Alexandria on a one-day jump from Berryville, Va., their training base, used three nurlers in three-inning shifts, Murcheson be- ing the best over Ziegler and McAllister. The Celtics’ “old guard” of Kidwell, Edwards and Ludlow led at bat with two hits apiece, Ludlow clouting two doubles and Edwards one. Brownie Lemeric performed at third base in commendable style. The Celtics play a return game with the Wilkes-Barre Club tomorrow at Berryville, Va., in a game expected to produce some good baseball, if yester- day’s encounter can be taken as a cri- terion.

Carroll and Sorrell, De- troit pitchers, who came from the Maple Leafs, were lenient with their former mates, but kept the hits well scattered.

Benge, Elliott and Roy toiled well for the visiting major leaguers and held the Birds to seven bingles, which were kept well scattered throughout the afternoon.

The world’s championship em- blems which Commissioner Lan- dis will present to members of the Yanks at the opening exercises Tuesday will be wrist watches. One's memory does not have to run back to the old Baltimore Orioles to remember a time when a ball player would as soon have —— a powder puff as a wrist The players prize highly any emblem of exceptional —* When Babe Ruth was picke the most valuable player in his ‘nti he was offered his choice between a cash prize and a diploma. He chose the diploma, féeling that while he might lose or spend the money, he was reasonably certain of preserving the nonhockable diploma as @ solace to his eyes when they had lost their ability to Keep pace with a pitched ball. The Babe's Flash Afield No Longer Visible. This same Mr. Ruth, by the way, shapes up as a big question mark in the Yankees’ crystal ball. Last season he showed unmistakeble signs of alip- ping. His magnificent showing in the world’s series obscured his earlier de- fiencies, but it is a fact that on the team’s last visit to Detroit in the regu- lar season Manager Huggins ——— expressed the opinion that the Babe was all washed up as an outfielder. The burly Baltimorean is no longer able to go and get them in his old-time man- ner. But as long as he is able to bust the ball as he did in Brooklyn Satur- day he probably will be kept in the line-up, even if he has to field his position in @ wheelchair. The saying, “As Ruth goes so go the Yanks,” has often been vindicated in the past. He is the sparkplug and the inspiration of that team, and when the day comes, as it may soon, when he will be forced to the bench, the phycho- logical effects of his absence, both on the Yanks and on the opposition, will have to be reckoned with. Czechs and Italians Another Old Whimsical Notion. The whimsical notion that athletics promote international amity is crack- ing under another strain. engendered by an international foot- ball match between Czechoslovakia and Italy has editors of the two countries frothing at the mouth and yipping at each other like hydrophobic terriers. Officials of the Italian Football Asso- clation set about easing the situation, and they set about the task in a man- ner that seems to be pecullar to ath- letic overlords the world over. They sent to Prague, with freight charges collect, a 300-pound statue of Mus- solini. To their pained surprise, the Czechs were not favorably impressed by this demonstration of affection. They refused to accept the statue, and it now reposes unclaimed in a freight de- pot at Prague accumulating storage charges, while the Italians fume over what they consider an affront to the — dignity and the great Musso- ni. This neutral commentator, as a ccg- tribution to world peace, offers the suggestion that the Czechs accept the statue and ship collect to Italy in re- turn a three-ton mound of used razor blades with the message, “This repre- sents the weight that was lifted from our hearts when receipt of your thoughtful little token indicated that you were not still sore because our football team licked yours.” Reigh Count Having Trouble Running on Turf Trache. Reigh Count, who can run as fast oj{as one of his owner’s taximeters on a dirt track, seems to be unable to learn how to make his hoofs behave in a winning manner when he is racing in smooth shoes on turf. He has been in England long enough to be de- scribed ag practically an old resident and it would seem that he ought now to be accustomed to racing conditions there, if he is ever going to be. Ap- parently he is as sound as one of those I, R. T. 7-cent fare museum pleces, but almost as useless, for in both his starts abroad he has been soundly trounced by nags with no pretensions to his natural speed. It is beginning to look as if the only way he can win in Eng- land will be to get the diplomats at the Court of St. James to rate him first in order of precedence in the Gann manner. The only British observer who seems to be greatly impressed by Reigh Count jis the official handicapper, who makes him tote virtually everything in the way of weights that is lying around loose except the coal piles of Newcastle, the crown jewels and Winston Churchill. If Reigh Count fails again in the Jubi- lee Handicap May 12, John D. Hertz may face the sorrowful necessity of shipping him back to the United States with nothing but receipted feed bills to show for his widely-heralded inva- sion of Britain. Well, that’s racing. GAME ENDS IN DISPUTE. The Hume Spring Nine walked off the field in the ninth inning yesterday as the Friendship Athletic Club scored four runs to take a 12-to-11 lead.
