The superintendent's as- sistant explained last night that the two estimates, made by local con- cerns, vary a great deal because no specifications, of the extent of the repairs have been set yet. They are. however, in the neighborhood of the original estimate of $60,000, he said. It is expected that President Hoover will be able to occupy his temporary office, Gen. John J.

While workmen repaired the holes in the roof of the west wing, made by the axes of firemen trying to get at the flames, a small corps of ste- nographers and clerks attached to the Executive offices were at work in the basement.

FEUD LED TO SLAYING - Jackson, Ky., Dec. 26 (A.P.).—Ches- ter Pugate, who was taken from the Breathitt County Jail Christmas morning and shot and beaten, died late today, after he had accused six men of being the leaders in the latest shedding of blood affecting members of the Fugate and Watkins families. Five of the men, kinsmen of Clay Watkins, whom Fugate shot to death December 18, came in and surren- dered and were held in $5,000 bond each shortly before the death of Fu- gate, whose body showed thirteen bul- let holes. Lee Watkins, of “Hazard, the sixth man named by Fugate, sent word that he would surrender. The warrants charged malicious shooting and wounding, and after FPugate’s death G.

Pratt, superintendent of police, probably was the star wit- mess yesterday before the special trial board which is hearing charges preferred. by the July grand jury that the Police Department, represented by Inspector William 8. Shelby and Lieut. Edward J. Kelly, bungled the investi- gation of the death of Mrs. Virginia McPherson, who was found lying on the floor of her apartment in the Park Lane Apartments, strangled with & pajama coat belt last September 14. It was while Pratt was on the stand that Robert E. Lynch, chief prosecutor, so sharply emphasized the purpose of the prosecution to show how different had been the police in- vestigation and manner of handling the McPherson case from the man- ner in which such cases are handled in story books. Lynch was determined to force Pratt to say something which would convict Shelby and Kelly,,and finally, at the instance of I, Quina, defense attorney ‘for Ghdiby, the tri&l\ board ordered stricken from the rec- ord several of Lynch’s shouted ques- tions. Did Job Well; Says Pratt. Pratt Gatly refused to subscribe to the fiction idea of what a detective should dé when he is assigned to in- vestigate a case and said that to the bést of his knowledge Shelby and Kelly had done their jobs of investi- gating well. Lynch demanded to know if it were not trué that Pratt had been friendly with Kelly for a number of years and still was friendly with the former head of the homicide squad of police head- quarters. “You are pretty friendly with Kelly, are you. not?” demanded Lynch. Quinn jumped to his feet. “This thing has gone far enough!” Quinn shouted. “All of these ques- tions have been improper.

COLUMN 1. Guard in District Jail Aids Rum Ring Expose Attendant, Dismissed for Possession, Gives Leads on Peddlers of Liquor and Drugs at Penal Institution; High Prices Quoted. The first move to break up an al- leged ring believed to have been en- gaged in smuggling contraband to prisoners in the District Jail was seen on Christmas Eve when a guard at the prison was discharged by Col. William A. Peak after the guard had been caught with a half-pint flask of liquor in his possession. Considerable mystery veils the un- usual fact that the man was merely discharged, and not arrested, although some explanation is found in the fact that at least five other guards are under suspicion and expected to be implicated definitely in the illicit traf- fic within the next few days. While Colonel Peak refused to dis- cuss the situation last night, it is be- lieved that he followed the course of to ald in getting sufficient evidence against others who are seen as the “master minds.” Much of the information now in possession showing the traffic in con- traband within the walls of the jail was obtained from prisoners, who, it is understood, “chattered” in order to save themselves after being caught. Prom these informants it has been learned that the operations of the ring must have netted its members a good profit, prices being from five to ten times as high as is paid for the jaa. The “market” price for bathtub gin paid by prisoners, for instance, has been $5 a half pint, the same stuff being obtainable from bootleg- gers outside for a general average price of 75 cents a half pint. 680- called rye, which can be bought outside for $4 a pint, is reported to cost prisoners at the District Jail as high as $20. These liquors seem to be the only ones handled in any ap- preciable quantities by the alleged ring. Similarly high prices are quoted as having been charged the prisoners for the dope they are said to have purchased through the ring. Heroin, which brings $1 per deck of two grains when bought from peddlers anywhere else in the District, or $2.50 for five-grain decks, cost the prison- ers as high as $5 for the smal] decks and $10 for five-grain quantities, ac- cording to information obtained last night. Cocaine, morphine and other drugs were declared to be propor- tionately high in price. The one guard dismissed was searched and let out without effort being made to apprehend him in the act of making a sale or delivery. Since his dismissal, with the threat of arrest and severe punishment fac- ing him, this guard is understood to have given much vital information to be of material | Harris & Ewing. | Leaders Have Two Chats; Wives Are Companions at Afternoon Tea. Mexico’s President-Elect Is Greeted by Stimson; Dined by Morrow. President-elect Pascual Ortiz Rubio of Mexico came to Washington yes- terday to receive an official welcome such as never before Nad beén ac- corded one in his position. To emphasize the cordial relation- ship between the two republics north and south of the Rio Grande, Preai- dent Herbert Hoover ignored prece- dent and persomally called on the Mexican leader at his embassy efter the latter had called on him at the White House. In the past, American Presidents have responded to such calls merely by sending their cards to the visitor by a White Heuse aid. Mrs. Hoover accompanied the Presi- dent to the Mexican Embassy, and later went back for Senora Ortiz Rubio and took her to the White House for tea. Allan Hoover Host, Too. Not to be outdone by his parents, Allan Hoover gave a party for tne children of the Mexican President- elect and for those of Ambassador Manuel Tellez. President-elect Ortiz Rubio came here yesterday from Baltimore, where he had been undergoing an examina- tion at Johns Hopkins Hospital, ana found a crowded program awaiting him. He paused in the midst of this last night, however, to outline his views for some 830 newspeapermen who gathered at the Mexican Embassy. Through an _ interpreter — Carlos Barrera, secretary to Ambassador Te:- lez and a famous Mexican play- wright—the president-elect said tha he regards the religious question in his country as settled. He said be felt that the land appropriation prob- lem also had been settled. Loan Not His Aim, He Says.

Supplies of Medicinal Liquor. By CARLISLE BARGERON. The Treasury is about to put into effect mew plans governing the use of medicinal liquor on American- owned vessels with a view to pre- venting the sale of beverage liquor at any time, it was learned yesterday. The American ship operators, it is understood, are to be required to sign an affidavit that their medicinal stores will not at any time be used except for medicinal purposes. At present it is the practice of many “transatlantic ships to make use of the medicinal liquor once they are outside the 12-mile limit, according to reports. The stock is replenished at the foreign port and on the re- turn trip there is no prohibition con- trol until the vessel comes again within the 12-mile limit. The liquor stock is then returned to the medici- nal status. By having ship operator sign an af- fidavit that medicinal stock with which the vessel is permitted to leave the country will not be converted to beverage stock on the outbound trip. American vessels will have difficulty, if they are not entirely prevented from, competing with the liquor fea- ture of foreign-owned ships. Some American operators have al- ready discontinued carrying even medicinal stocks on board. One of the big lines, however, re- cently embarked upon a vigorous plan in an attempt to have just as good a bar service as that on foreign- owned vessels. Under the prohibition laws Amer- lcan-owned ships are permitted to carry medicinal stocks. The Treasury's new gh om of control is understood to tained in a new form of appli- cation which the operator must make for a medicinal permit. So far as known the Treasury does not intend to go any further than CONTINUED ON PAGE 2. COLUMN 2. Two Gang Murders Linked .

BOTH REMAIN SILENT ON DETAILS OF TALK Treasury Bares Plan for Unified Border Patrol as Attack Retort. CUT IN ENTRY PORTS © IS PART OF SCHEME Senator Harris Enters Bow Again, Asserting More Money Is Needed. (Associated Press.) Senator Borah’s despair of ever @n- forcing prohibition “with the present personnel from top to bottom” yes- terday led to a personal discussion on that inflammatory topic between him and President Hoover during lunchéon at the White House. Not another subject was mentioned, but details of the views exchanged were withheld both by the Chief Ex- ecutive and the Republican dry from Idaho. Since he took a leading role in the Hoover presidential campaign through his emphasis of the prohibi- tion issue, Senator Borah’s Christmas Eve arraignment of the entire Vol- stead-enforcement line-up has inten~- sified the tension over prohibition in Washington. ; The latest flare-up was another retort to the Idahoan from the Treal- ury Department yesterday. Undersec- fied border patrol and limitation of the number of Canedian ports as Means to réstrict aug He said the Treasury will submit these to Congress as soon as {t names « joint committee to consider onsite ment questions. Congress Gets Blame. Only Wednesday the Treasury. through Prohibition Commissioner Doran, had asailed Borah’s condemma- tion of the whole Volstead personnel as “bound to have a d en effect” on the morale of those foun the work. At the same time Attorney General Mitchell blamed Congress for not strengthening the enforcement machinery. Borah stood by his celebrated “top to bottom” indictment, with @ con- sequent increase in speculation .as.to just who he considered to be at the “top.” Neither before nor after’ his luncheon engagement at the White House did the Idaho senator omy any one he had in mind. The latest senator to enter the com~+ troversy is Sheppard, of Texas, @ Democrat, who wrote the eighteenth amendment, He took: a difectly op- posite stand from that of Borah by contending that enforcement is a suc- cess when measured by the standard of a majority of people obeying the law and most cases against ee a's resulting in convictions. More Effectiveness Sought. “Purther action is merely a ques- tion of making enforcement still more effective,” said the Texan. “I believe that President Hoover its doing everything within his power in this direction, that he is In intimate touch with his executives and investi- gators, that if there is anything wrong with them he will be the first. to ascertain and correct it, and that these egencies are entitled to’ the confidence and support of the Amer ican people.” Senetor Harris, of Georgia, a pro- nounced dry among the Democrats, pitched into the dispute again with @ declaration that the Treasury needs more money to combat bootleggers and smugglers. He maintained that more cash would make possible “the employment of a better class of dry agents.

missioner is selécted from lists sub- mitted by the Civil Service Commis- sion, and that the Treasury and Pro- hibition Bureau have nothing to do ‘with the selection of the men prior to the submission of the Lists. Explaining why the plans of proht» Wition reorganization are being de- layed through failure of Congress to appoint the committee, Mills said the Treasury will call for the unification of the border patrol under the Coast Guard, with certain designated ports of entry. In addition to the plan's getting congressional approval, he Said, the Canadian government vill have to acquiesce. The plan calls for the designation of certain ports of entry along the Canadian border with the establish- ment of a strong patrol between such ports. All persons entering the Unit- ed States would be required to come in at the ports of entry and no entry at other places would be permitted. Mills said the plan would make the smuggling of liquor across the border more difficult. Other Plans Pending. Other plans which are expected to be submitted to the congressional committee are those called for by President Hoover, which include the transfer of prohibition enforcement from the Treasury to the Department of Justice, means of relieving the con- gestion in the Federal courts and codification of the laws. Senator Harris, one of the leaders in efforts to get a preliminary re- port from the Hoover commission on law enforcement, said he could not estimate how much more money would be needed for effective enforce- ment of the Volstead act until the commission's report was received. Harris last February introduced leg- islation intended to provide the Treasury with $25,000,000 to be’ uséd for phohibition enforcement, but the amount was cut to 82,700,000 before it was finally enacted. Danger of Delay Cited. “To delay a report on prohibition until the study of the whole law en- forcement situation is completed js to do all that the enemies of proti- bition want them to do,” Mr. Harris said; “This delay is causing the pro- hibition law to become increasingiy unpopular, and will lead to disre- spect for other laws.” The resolution providing for ap- pointment of the joint committee re- quested by the President, which was adopted by the ate, is now be- fore the rules committee of the House. While some House leaders have ex- pressed an opinion that eventually it would be adopted, they have -aid jae expect opposition to materiai- President Hoover, in asking Con- gress last June to appoint the com- mittee to cooperate with committee. from the Department of Justice and the Treasury in drawing up a reor- ganization plan for prohibition en- forcement, asked that it be done with utmost expedition.

While the senatorial disputants over enforcement were ‘aaving their say, Henry H. Curran, president of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, issued a formal state- = to concerning the developments. “I see by the papers that Mr. Bora. says the only trouble with prohibition is that the snoopers do not sncop efficiently, but Mr. Mitchell says the trouble is with Congress, while Mr. Doran says the trouble is with the American people. “Did it never occur to any of them ——— — —_—— + ee - —_—_—s - _ Government personnél for prohibition enforcement by Senator Borah, Idaho... Senator Fess’ statement follows: “It is most regrettable that at this time, when law enforcement is be- ing given most substantial attention and has the active and sympathetic cooperation, not only of the Justice and Treasury Departments, but of the President, that any statement coming from a friend of enforcement should be construed as a lack of solidarity of support among the friends of pro- hibition. “Enforcement of any law involv- ing the appetite of any of our citi- zens is difficult at best. The per- sonnel in charge reacts to public Opinion and espécially that of friends of the cause. Its moralé can be greatly injured, if not destroyed, by lack of support. | “Wholesale attack on the admin- | istration of the law, no matter what the purpose, can be but deplored, es- pecially at the time when the Gov- ernment, under the advice of the | President, has taken steps to tighten up law enforcement all along the jline and which has resulted in a more healthful attitude of the public toward obédience to law. | “In the light of recent results I an- _ticipate substantial progress through |@ further reorganization now in | vogue and the assurance of all funds necessary to enforce the law.” TREASURY HAS PLAN TO MAKE SHIPS DRY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. this in ite effort to make American ships dry. The United States Supreme Court has held that while Congress can prevent the sale of liquor on American ships, it has not done so in the Volstead act. The Government can control, of course, the vessels when they are in American waters. There was some talk once that some arrangement might be made whereby outgoing ves- sels could take on beverage stocks after they had gotten outside the 12- mile zone. This plan is believed, how- ever, to have been abandoned as too impracticable. But if the bars are to remain open some such plan will manifestly have to be worked out under the oath which the Treasury plans to make the operators give. Champagne Boat And Crew Seized Liquors Worth $100,000 Taken on Nova Scotian Ship Off Boston. Boston, Mass., Dec. 26 (A.P.).—A Coast Guard patrol boat seized the 110-foot Nova Scotian auxiliary schooner Irene C, 3 miles east of Boston lightship before dawn today and brought her into port loaded with about 1,000 cases of rted liquors, most of it high grade Champagne. The value of the cargo was placed roughly at $100,000 by the appraisers’ office. The sehooner, a converted sub- chaser, painted gray and resembling a Coast Guard boat, hove to on sig- nal and was boarded without resist- ance. : Her captain, Norman Conrad, and mate, Rennie Cook, both of Riverport, N. S., and her crew of seven were arraigned in United States District Court charged with conspiracy to smuggle liquor into the United States and held in bail totaling $17,000. Coast Guardsmen said the schooner frequently had been seen off this that perhaps the trouble lies in the law itself? “Perhaps they have read their Tolanthe well enough to make up a trio and do this little chorus fur us: “*The law is the true embodiment Of everything that’s excellent.

THE WASHINGTON POST: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1929. 1,5, HELP PROMISED IN RUM KILLING QUIZ Federal Attorney in Buffalo Ready to Investigate Coast Guard Case. SENATOR WIRES BILLARD Buffalo, N. Y., Dec. 26 (A.P.).— Cooperation of Federal with county and city authorities in investigating circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting last night of Eugene F. Downey, jr.. by the crew of Coast Guard boat No. 2245, was promised to the fullest extent by U. 8. Attor- ney Richard H. Templeton tonight. An inquest will be held tomorrow in city court. The three members of the Coast Guard crew are held at the local Coast Guard etation. Referring to a telegram dispatched by District Attorney Guy B. Moore to Attorney General William D. Mitchell in Washington, urging that pressure be brought to bear to force Mr. Tem- pleton to reveal the facts of the case, the Pederal official stated: “No requests for cooperation were made to me, eithér by Mr. Moore or by city officials before 4 o’clock this afternoon, some hours after the wire was sent to Washington. We are ready and have been ready to work with Mr, Moore and other sguthori- ties in fixing blame in the matter.” Mr. Templeton said that in his Opinion the Coast Guardsmen were by no means culpable. “They acted in pursuit of their duty,” he said. “They gave Downey's boat the customary warning to stop. When he did not stop, they fired.” The names of the three Coast Guardsmen were withheld today by Commander Martin W. Rasmussen of the Coast Guard district. Downey, already under indictment in a liquor smuggling case in con- nection with the seizure of the barge Loretta, was shot while cruising in the harbor. He was taken to Emergency Hospital, but had lost so much blood that efforts to save him were una- vailing. He left a widow and child. His father is a lieutenant in the local police force.

Copeland to- day sent a telegram to Rear Admiral Frederick C. Billard, Coast Guard commandant, urging that Coast Guardsmen involved in the fatal shooting of Eugene F. Downey, jr., at Buffalo, N. Y., yesterday be turned over to civil authorities. The New York sénator’s telegram, which was sent to Admiral Billard, at Washington, said: “You and I have discussed thesc Coast Guard outrages and you have expressed the hope they were ended. What can be said now when another apparently needless death is on the shoulders of your Buffalo men? Hanson Case Cited. “My urgent advice in the Hanson case was to submit the officiais charged with the crime to civil al- thorities. The Government can not afford to take any other action in the Downey matter. “The people of the sovereign State of New York are entitled to know why such evil things can happeu and point the way to their preven- tion, a thing the Federal authorities have failed to do. “What is to be done in this case? I beg of you to lét our authorities deal with this homicide exactly as they would do if it had been com- mitted by civilians.” Brazilian Deputy Shot In Row With Colleague Rio Janeiro, Dec. 26 (A.P.).— Deputy Souza Filho, of Pernambuco, was shot and killed by Deputy Simoes Lopez, former minister of agriculture, after a violent political discussion in the corridors of the Chamber of Depu- ties today. Deputy Filho was one the leaders of the administration group in the chamber, and Deputy Lopez, who rep- resénts Rio Grand do Sul, is the chief of the Lpberal party executive committee. Witnesses said Lopez’s son struck Souza Filho with a cane, and when the latter drew a knife Lopez shot him to protect his son. Filho died on the way to a hospital. Lopez was arrested.

EASTERN CONCERNS LEAD Tax refunds totaling $190,164,359.48 were made by the Government during the fiscal- year Qndéed June 30 last, according to a report yesterday to the ways and means committee of the House of Representatives by Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon. The refunds went to a list of approx- imately 8,000 persons and corpora- tions, including many figures of na- tional importance. Refunds were made in cases where taxes had been illegally or erroneously collected, but in many cases they were for taxes paid as far back as 1917, set- tlement having been made only dur- ing the last year. Heading the list of tax refunds was that to the Carnegie Steel Co., totaling $25,849,542.43, the largest re- fund in Treasury history. The United States Steel] Corporation, of which the Carnegie firm is a part, still has claims aggregating millions of dollars pending against the’ Government, awaiting adjustmeng, Well-Known Names Included. John D. Rockfeller, Senator James Couzens, of Michigan; Mary Pickford, Mrs. Alice G, Kales, of Detroit; Sir Marry Lauder, D. W. Griffith, Inc.; Mrs. Elizabeth C. Morrow and Mrs. Ganna Walska McCormick were among the notables who received various sums. ° Mr. Rockefeller received $157,227; Senator Couzens, $989,883.49; Mary Pickford, $10,168; Mrs. Kales, $3,134,- 80.21: Mr. Lauder, $1,454; Mr. Grif- fith, $55,588; Mrs. Morrow, $2,222, and Mrs. McCormick, $17,286. In addition to the award to Mrs. Kales, ten other refunds of more than a million dollars on taxes .col- lected erroneously during the fiscal year of 1929 were made. They in- clude the Botany Worsted Mills of Passaic, N. J., $1,007,770; the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co., of Newark, N. J., $1,075,361; the Prudential In- surance Co. of America, Newark, N.

Grace Co., New York, $3,510,449; the Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Boston, $1,117,349, and the Maine Securities Co., of Chi- cago, $1,054,295. Astor Trust Gets Payment. Another refund involving a long- drawn-out tax controversy with the Government was that of $6,456,829 to the William Waldorf Astor Trust. The American Locomotive Co. re- ceived $925,608.36, and the estate of Helen C. Bostwick, $675,218.21. The Aluminum Co. of America, a Mellon concern, received $620,538.70. Among the prominent film per- sonages who received refunds were Mrs. Lottie Zukor, 610,166; Lois Moran, 82,000; Ann Pennington, $997; Otis Skinner, 8782; the Pick- ford Corporation, $67,800; Mrs. Char- lotte Pickford Smith, estate of Den- nis F.

While the refunds totaled more than 8190,000,000, Treasury officials pointed out that additional assess- ments and collections resulting from office audits and field investigations aggregated $405,855,475.95. The total ¢|amount refunded for the years 1917 to 1929 was 8$1,127,481,557.50, or about 22 per cent of the additional assessments and collections result- ing from audits and investigatione, which totaled $5,042,147,.250 during that period. Refunds were only 2.8 per cent of the total tax collections in those years. SPECIAL NOTICES.

INQUIRY 13 OPENED IN DEATH YEAR AGO Relative Says Millionaire Offered $100,000 to Be “Put to Sleep.” WILL BEING CONTESTED Los Angeles, Dec. 26 (A.P.)-—Five witnesses, a relative and former em- ployes in the home of George La- fayette Finn, millionaire former Iowa State senator, were summoned today to appear at the district attorney's office for questioning regarding cir- cumstances surrounding Finn's death almost a year a Those asked appear are Jane Corwin Finn, niéce and former secre- tary of the senator; Frank Reming- ton, former nurse of Finn; Charles | Lachman, a chauffeur; John Dickey, a nurse, and Dr. Frank Murphy, phy- sicilan in attendance. Mrs. Pearl Crane, a friend of Finn, who saw the 84-year-old man fre- quently prior to his death, was brought into the case today when her husband notified the district at- torney’s office she might be able to aid in the investigatian. Investigation into the death grew out of a civil case involving the aged man's will. Mrs. Gladys McAfee, a grandniéce, a beneficiary under Finn’s will drawn in 1925, told the district attorney's office she learned from a nurse that Finn had offered a nurse and a physician $100,000 to “put me to sleep forever.” The 1925 will later was revoked when another was found, naming other legatees. This will is being contested. 25. Reported Dead in Sea Crash.

The note cdntinues by saying that the nations will be in a position to, consider gisarmament effectively only in proportion to the outside help on which they may rely. An accord on agreement concerning naval disarma- ment at present presupposes a pre- vious accord concerning the liberty of the seas, defining the rights of belligerents and of neutrals, and pro- viding for the eventual collaboration of fleets against the navy of an ag- gressor. Washington Pian Repudiated. The note seems to repudiate the system adopted by the Washington conference for the reduction of armaments. It points out that the system failed when attémpts wefe made to extend it to all mavies and adds that the London conférence can not reach its full objective unless it makes por- sible a general agreement on the limitation of armaments at Geneva. The note bases French policy for the conference on Article VIII of the league convenant and rejects the idea of basing disarmanent on estimates of the strength of the five greatest naval] powers. It points out that the French out- lay for naval construction was less this year than in 1913, though the protection of 20,000 miles of coast in the mother countries and the col- onieés created an obligation that the French government could not lose sight of in fixing ite minimum. naval requirements.

Zatim, a pioneer in aeronautics and director of the aerodynamic laboratory of the Navy since 1916, has been appointed to the Guggenheim chair of aeronautics at the Library of Congress, established recehtly by the Daniel Guggenheim Fund. Since his youth, Dr. Zahm has been deeply interested in aviation, and has devoted himself assiduously to. its scientific development. While an undergraduate at the University of Notre Dame, he did experimental work in airplane construction by building toy planes of varied types and materials. He continued this work for several years, and finally went to Cormell University expressly for the purpose of advancement alqng that line through the study gf méch- anical engineering. During the early 1890's, Dr. Zahm sponsored the first International Con- ference on Aerial Navigation during the World Pair’ at. Chicago. Numer- ous scientific papers on the subject were presented at the conference and subsequently were published in a 400- page volume which has become a standard text. Carrying forward his pioneering~tn aerial science, Dr. Zahm, after obtaining his mechanical engin- ering degree at Cornell, went to Johns Hopkins University, where he worked out his Ph. D. He prepared his thesis on “The Resistance of Air at Ail Speeds Up to 1,000 Feet a Second” while a professor of mechanics at Catholic University in Washington. This thesis also was published and continues to be an authoritative treat- ise. In obtaining material for it, Dr. Zahm used a@ cannon t fire objects for speed and resistance tests. He also developed an instrument, the optical chronograph, for making measure- ments in these tests. This instrument and his metheds are now being used by the Bureau of Standards in similar research and laboratory work. While at Catholic University, Dr. Zahm also developed the first “air tunnel,” a valuable device for meas- uring wind velocity. During the World War, Dr. Zahm took charge of the scientific labora- tory at the Ourtiss-Wright factory, and later, when the aviation section of the Navy was created, became rector of the aerod | labora- tory at the navy yard in n. In addition to this strictly scien- tific work, Dr. Zahm also has had a | in various other features In 1906 he was selected as chairman of the committee Ap- pointed by the Press Club, which » | sponsored the Aero Club of Washing- DR. ALBERT F. ZAHM. = a ton. In 1910 he, with Alexander Gra+ ham Bell and Gen. George O. Squier, made a study for and recommenda- tions to the Smithsonian Institution concerning the preservation of the Langiey laboratory, which resulted in the present Langley Memorial Lab- oratory,:the largest contrivance in the world for scientific testing of air- plane models. He likewise was instru- mental in bringing the first interna- tional air contests to Washington, In 1913, Dr. Zahm assisted the Smithsonian Institution in sending the original Langley airplane to the Curtiss factory, where it finally was made to fly from water under its own spower. He officially répresented the institution at the factory. Dr, Zahm was awarded the Laetare Medal by Notre Dame in 1925 for nis services in the field of science, which is the highest honor bestowed by an Ameriéan Catholic institution an 4 Catholic layman.. . Concerning his work at the Library of Congress, which he will assume on January 2, Dr. Zahm is en- thusiastic. He declares it should be “the foremost center for the dissemi- mation of aerial information in this hemisphere, and also a center of re- search for all students and inves- tigators who wish to do original work in aeronavigation.” His work will be the interpretation of the aeronautical literature at the National Library and the advising of research workers.

These millions of spellings for just one word ate phonetic, spelling the word as it sounds, like, using “thoro” for thorough. Moreover, all of them are from the live speech of daily Eng- lish, and not mixtures of slang. They are made by using combinations of letters in other words which give one of the sounds in circumference. They illustrate, said Dr. Ernest Horn, of the State University of Iowa, at the education section of the Amer- ican Association for the Advancement of Science, the extreme difficulties facing educators who would make spelling more rational. For example, he said, the second sound in circum- ference, “ir,” is represented in 21, dif- ferent ways in other words, some of the combinations being: ir, ef, or, ar, our, ear, ere, are, err, oar, oir, eur, Tre, yr, yrrh, irr, urr and orr. The “s” sound in circumference, he went on, “is spelled in fourteen ways. The confusion caused by this varia-~ tion in the spélling of both the vowel and the consonant sounds is matur- ally very gres. Circumference can be spelléd in 396,000,000 different ways by using the spellings of iden- tical or similar sou in words likely to be known to a sixth-grade child. “Our alphabet is inefficient. There are more sounds in English than there are letters. The sound of long e can be made in twenty-two ways. There are forty-seven sound letter combina- tions which the child must learn for the letter a alone by the time he has finished third grade. Such hope as exists for rationalizing spelling is to be found first in the gradual cast- ing out of parasite letters—dropping the u in words like honour—and sec- ond by teaching the rules by which prefixes and suffixes are added to base words to make derived forms.” Webstér himself bumped this snag when he tried to spell women as “wimmin” and was forced to “back up,” said Dr. Horn. Our spelling, however, gives variety in correct pro- nunciation. The word “often” was customarily used without sounding the “t,” but now, more and more, cultivated: persons sound the “t.” There are four cultivated ways of pronouncing “horse” in Minneapolis, said Dr. Horn.

Most persons write “enclose” ‘in their letters, but Dr. Horn found many of good standing who write “Inclose.” The revolt of American youth against conduct standards was dis- cussed by several educators. Exam- ples of personality and behavior roblems were given by Dr. Harry ker, clinical psychologist of the Detroit public schools. He studied 1,357 boys and girls who broke the traces more in minor than in ma- jor fashion. “Twelve-year-old pupils, he sald, “are worse than 7-year-Olds in argu- ing, cheating and resenting correction. White boys are worse than white girls in bullying, fighting, interfering and being ‘smart Alecs.’ Girls are worse than boys in lying, cheating and stealing. “Cheating as a special trait occurred’ in 469 of the 1,357 cases. It is more common among older than younger pupils. Dull pupils cheat more than bright ones and the trait is closely related to arguing, interfering, lying and fighting. “Slow or slightly dull pupils were 14.6 times more frequent behavior of- fenders than bright pupils,and chil- dren behind their grade for their age. were more frequent than were pupils ahead of their grade.

Four or five hundred citizens, or- ganized into posses under the leader- ship of the sheriff and his deputies, at once started searching the hills mear here for the bandits. Several shots were fired at their automobile as they left Onkland, and it thought that two of them are wounded. Brig. Gen. H. H. Denhardt, of the Kentucky National Guard, a former Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky. furnished the posses wi national guard rifies and tear gas bs and Jed one of the groups of searchers. One of the bandits is reported to have been seen on Rocky Hill, and the other two are believed to be hid- ing ina cave. The tear gas bombs were taken along to smoke them out if this is found to be true. Mouth of Cave Guarded. Guards were placed at the mouth of a cave about a mile and a half from here, where a woman reported she had seen two men enter shortly after the robbers fled. The men entered the Oakland Bank this morning, lined up ten customers and bank employes, scooped up all the money in sight and dashed for their automobile. The alarm was immediately sounded and several citizens began firing at them. Noti- fication of the robbery was then tele- Phoned to Smiths Grove and. a party Opened fire on them as the car en- tered the town. The robbers returned the fire, kill- ing Mr. Kirby and wounding Charles Beard, 22, in the foot. The car sped on, and was later found abandoned 3 miles farther down the road. A bag of money found in the car is believed to be the entire loot ob- tained at the Oakland bank. Tennessee Refuses Plane. Gen. Denhardt, Capt. Joe 8S. Gar- mon and twelve enlisted men from the 149th Infantry of the Kentucky National Guard arrived on the scene in answer to a telephone summons. The party took tear bombs and rifles and sidearms to a small woods near Hays, where for a time it was be- HMeved the men were hiding. An appeal was made to Adjt. Gen. W. C.

* ,EVENTS OF INTEREST IN ‘THE WASHINGTON POST: FRIDAY. DECEMBER 27, 1929. SOCIETY CIRCLES OF CAPITAL Bay State Bud Joins Capital Society Girls Miss Joanne Shaw Here for Sojourn With Mrs. Bird. Mrs. Charles Sumner Bird has ar- rived in Washington from her home im East Walpole, Mass., accompanied +4 her daughter, Miss Joanne Shaw, who will be a welcome addi- tion to the debutante group. Miss Shaw will have no formal presenta- tion, but Mre. Bird is planning a number of small dinners and lunch- eons in her honor and she will un- doubtediy be feted by Mrs. Bird's many friends in Washington. They will be at the Mayflower while in town. Mrs. Bird, whose late husband was once Governor of Massachusetts, has jong been influential in Republican party politic® and she was one of the four women chosen by the late President Harding to serve in an ad- visory capacity with the conference on the limitation of armament held in Washington a few years ago. It is at the special wish of Miss Shaw's mother, who died within the year, that Mrs. Bird is bringing her grand- daughter to Washington for a season of festivity. Miss Shaw is the daugh- ter of Mr. Louis Agassiz Shaw. of Boston. She is an unusually befsuti- ful girl and am expert horsewoman. Mr. and Mrs. John Philip Hill will be at home on New Year’s Day from 3 until 5 o’clock at their home on Franklin street in Baltimore, invita- tions to attend having been in- scribed on the Christmas cards which they sent out. Through all the period that Mr. Hill was in Congress, Mr and Mrs. Hill kept their home in Bal- timore, the “old Carroll house” which came to Mrs. Hill from her forebears. ready for occasional use. And now that they are out of public life, their official residence is Baltimore, although they have their Washington house in running order and spend much time here. One New Year's Day, ‘if memory serves, Mr. and Mrs. Hill kept open house in Baltimore early in the afternoon—and then motored over to Washington to receive here later on. _—— -- Admiral Grayson to Act As Horse Show Judge. Among the judges acting at the Riding and Hunt Club’s horse show Saturday evening will be Admiral Cary T. Grayson, whose keen interest in horsemanship prompted an invitation recently from Mr. W. T. Waggoner, of Texas, asking Admiral Grayson to offi- cially dedicate the fine new race track near Fort Worth, a track costing $2,000,000 and alleged to be the finest in the country. Admiral Grayson has just returned from Texas. Assisting in the judges’ stand will *e Mr. R. M. Luttrell, of Delaplain, Va., and Mr. William Osbourne, of Charlottesville, Va.

But the woman with the larger figure must bear in mind there are many, many styles- that are most unbecoming as far as she is concerned. But there aré equally as many suitable models, for the designers today are spending much time and great effort to create models with slenderizing effects. The deep French V outline, as model sketched, that combines with vertical line created by plaite in skirt, has a marvelous effect in slendériz- ing the figure. Wide crushed girdle secures important flat hips. Style No. 8146 is just about per- fect, a charming semisportse type that meets everyday requirements. It comes in sizes 16, 18, 20 years, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48-inches bust. In the medium size, it is made with 3% yards of 40-inch material with 5-8 yard of 10-inch contrasting.

Japanese statesmen, who so fre- quently obtain advance information on international matters, profess to fore- see an Anglo-American Locarno pact become one of the possibilities of the London naval limitation conference. A dispatch to the New York Times from Tokyo contains the following: An extremely important poten- tial development of this’ idea (Franco-Italian Locarno) would be an Atlantic Locarno, in which Eng- land and America might guarantee each other against a violator of the Kellogg pact. Such an arrangement would open the way to that reduction in Anglo- American parity figures at which Japan’s policy is aiming and re- ceive Japan’s benevolent support. The Locarno pact idea is, on its face, the essence of simplicity. With respect to France and Germany, for example, each of these nations is assured of the military support of Great Britain in resisting aggression. The British gov- ernment is pledged to go to war on the side of the nation which is attacked, and Locarno wars are excluded from the purview of the Kellogg antiwar treaty. In conformity with the Japanese forecast, the application of the Locarno doctrine to Great Britain and _ the United States would mean that Ameri- ca would pledge itself to go to war on the side of the British whenever a na- tion or group of nations violated the Kellogg pact as against Great Britain. Conversely, Great Britain would be bound to go to war in support of the United States in the event of an at- tack upon it. As Great Britain and the United States would be the judges re- specting violations of the Kellogg pact, acting through the medium of the world court or otherwise, there could arise no | situation where a violation of the pact | could be anything but a hostile move against Anglo-American policy. Obvi- ously no action by a nation or group of nations in furtherance of Anglo-Ameri- can policy would be construed by Great Britain and America as violating the pact. With Japan included in the arrange- ment, there would be Locarno pledges binding Great Britain to go to war with Japan against the United States, or with the United States against Japan, according to circumstances. America, in turn, might be pledged to go to war with Japan against Great Britain or vice versa, and Japan might be obliged to go to war against America or Great | circumstances. All these contingencies become matters of speculation in the light of the Tokyo forecast. The inclusion of Japan in a three-cor- nered Anglo-American-Japanese combi- | nation against prospective Kellogg-pact violators is chiefly interesting as an ad- which the London conference is pro- ducing. The same thought applies to the suggestion of an Anglo-American Locarno. Presumably no patriotic American, and surely no American statesman, is ready to give seriqus con- sideration to this or any other form of alliance involving the people of the United States. But despite this, the suggestion of an Anglo-American defensive alliance involving the United States, Great Britain and Japan is apparently to be given serious consideration in Tokyo and perhaps in London. Prime Minis- ter MacDonald has sought.to encourage the idea of an Anglo-American entente intended to operate against a violator of the Kellogg pact. The carrying out of any such program would mean one | a if [oetneeesueseeeeeeee - - 2 ee ee eee. — — te thing only to the statesmen of Europe and Japan. It would mean to them the pooling of naval forces to support a “joint policy” decided upon by them. The possibilities of the scheme are vast and far-reaching. All that is necessary is to convince Americans that their best interest lies in an entente by which Great Britain and the United States would dominate the world and keep it in order. - PRESIDENT ORTIZ RUBIO. The Government of the United States has Ortiz Rubio, President- elect of Mexico, and Senora de Ortiz Rubio, welcomed Pascual with every official courtesy and ceremony, and the American people welcome them with all cordiality as representatives of a neigh- boring people with whom friendship and understanding are especially desirable. Their visit is timely. A year ago President-elect Hoover was visiting Latin America as an emissary of friendship and good will. Presi- dent-elect Ortiz Rubio is similarly an emis- sary of friendship and good will, and the Nation takes pleasure in according him a welcome no less hearty than that which the South American nations bestowed on Presi- dent-elect Hoover and his party. Mr. Ortiz Rubio is about to become the head of a nation with natural resources of untold value, and with potentialities for de- velopment that stagger the imagination. That that nation has not, perhaps, progressed in company with the family of nations is due to the fact that it has long been torn with dissension and internal strife. There is an ardent hope, however, that Mexico now has reached a point where, under the civilian rule of Ortiz Rubio, it will enjoy internal harmony. Americans the opportunity welcome to | cial | testify meet and know the man in whose hands rests the immediate future of Mexico. The offi- honors that are bestowed upon him to the regard in which this Nation holds its neighbor to the South. THE SEARCH FOR EIELSON. Efforts Earl Borland, taken a locate Carl Ben Eielson and the spurt to lost Arctic fliers, have sudden seven weeks after they disappeared. Soviet Russian authori- ties have sent Semyon Shestakov, who re- cently made a successful flight from Moscow to New York, to command a Russian rescue party. Three powerful cabin-typé airplanes have been taken to Seward, Alaska, to par- ticipate in the search under direction of ex- perienced Canadian fliers. These fresh res- cue forces have a clew to work on in the report that traders and natives in the vicinity of North Cape, Siberia, heard Eielson’s plane circling overhead, evidently in trouble. Hopes for rescuing the famous Aretic flier and his pilot were growing dim until these new movements got under way. Even now it appears that prospects for their safe re- turn are not bright. The lost plane carried provisions for only 30 days when it flew out from Alaska on November 9 to take off per- sons on the ship Nanuk, which is itcebound off the northeast Siberian coast. Some ex- plorers have lived for long periods on the game and fish of the Arctic, and the doughty Eielson can be expected to survive wherever it is humanly possible. But the fliers may have wandered far off the course they in- tended to follow, and nothing is Known as to how they landed. The possibility of finding the fliers alive di- minishes every day. This being true, it is well to ask why seven weeks have elapsed before a systematic search is made. Alaskan pilots have been making strenuous efforts to find Eielson and Borland, but they have been handicapped by inadequate equipment and airplanes not suitable for that purpose. ' Had the rescue expeditions which are now / as | The Chief Executive can not be expected to | in | States ithe future. vance study of the psychological effect | at work been sent to the north weeks ago, the fliers might now have been rescued, or their fate revealed. The search ought to be pushed until all possibility of rescue has dis- appeared. There has been too much delay already. AN EXECUTIVE BUILDING.

A spacious executive building keeping with the dignity of the United should be included the present building program, George Washington is the only American statesman who ever planned adequately for Federal executed without sufficient consideration for future In making plans for a new executive building it is not sufficient to con- template needs 50 or 69 years hence. A noble structure, which will furnish dignified and ample office quarters for the Chief Executive and his staff for all time, should be erected. It should include appropriate facili- ties for international! conferences, for Cabi- net meetings and for entertainment of dis- tinguished foreign guests. Nothing less than this would harmonize with the buildings that are being provided for the various depart- ments, the Supreme Court and members of Congress. Location of the proposed new executive building is important. It is desirable that the President's office should be close to the White House. A site bordering on Lafayette in needs. | Square should be acquired for this purpose. The easiest plan would be simply to re- store the burned quarters and compel the President to remain in this crowded, unsafe office. But the country expects its Chief Executive to be properly housed. While —_—_—o— SO --- en re ee ee public attention is concentrated upon the issue Congress should make provision for a spacious executive building. ‘ cee QUARRELING OVER ENFORCEMENT. In view of the furore created by his Christ- mas Eve statement, no one need doubt that Senator Borah’s Christmas was a merry one. Dr. Doran responded to the senator's sweep- ing indictment with an equally sweeping de- nial, and Attorney General Mitchell jumped to the fore with & defense of the Prohibition Bureau and the Government in general. No new light is thrown upon the prohibi- tion problem as a result of the incident. Senator Borah’s charges lost most of their éffect because of the fact that they were too sweeping and too general. “Prohibition never can be enforced with the present per- sonnel,” he said. Inasmuch as it is gen- erally agreed that the present personnel is more zealously interested in genuine enforce- ment than any that has held office hereto- fore, the assertion does come seriously near to saying that prohibition never can be en- forced. Attorney General Mitchell states that more can be @ccomplished toward better enforce- ment when Congress is ready to approve leg- islation carrying out the administration's recommendations for more adequate machin- ery. But what are the recommendations? So far as the public is aware, no recommenda- tions have as yet been made to Congress. Conditions now are better than they ever have been. Dr. Doran is an able, conscien- tious prohibition chief and he is proceeding on the laudatory principle that enforcement can better be attained by getting a fellows than by slapping hip p ts and breaking into homes. If Dr. Doran is ac- corded full cooperation, he will enfo agpugee- hibition so far as it is enforceable. The British government can't seem to find a purchaser for the Firth of Forth naval base. Perhaps after next month’s affair the market will be improved. A golfer equipped with a full complement of clubs was beaten by an Arizonan who played with a baseball bat. Clubs are major handicaps in golf. Now that Christmas shopping is over there is only one bill that we haven't re- ceived, and that's the tariff bill. | THE DOG AND THE RABBIT | From the New York Herald Tribune. It is a most evident fact to any one who has thought about it that in two of the three factors of sea power the United States is immensely outclassed by Great’ Britain. Where naval bases are concerned we have very few, and where the merchant marine is concerned we are in a ratio of one to two. We have not complete equality with Great Britain in auxiliary naval vessels, but there is the possibility that this will be attained at London. In order to realize how weak we are in merchant vessels it seems pertinent at this time to glance at some of the Shipping Board figures. They show that the United States has the second. largest fleet of ocean-going merchant vessels, with a total tonnage of 9,673,627, and that the British are first with a total tonnage of 17,683,755. Of ships dis- placing 15,000 tons and over, the British have 85 and we have 13. As fourteen knots is likely to be the usual convoy speed in future wars, it is interesting to observe that we have 106 vessels capable of a speed of fourteen knots or over and that the British have 445 vessels of this class. Large, fast ships can, of course, be converted fnto cruisers carrying 6-inch guns in a number suited to their individual design, whereas smaller and slower ships continue the im- portation of those essential materials which are the sinews of war. What is the outlook for the attainment of equality in this highly important division of sea power? How long, for instance, would it take us, building at our present maximum rate, to catch up with the British? The answer to this question, based on the theory that no old yards are reopened or that no new yards are started, is perhaps best found in the fact that the present yearly output of American shipyards is about 1,000,000 gross tons for passenger ships, combination ships, tankers and smaller vessels. According to the last Lloyd's, Great Britain has under con- struction at present 1,444,355 tons. The real answer to the question of “‘How long?” is that we are in the position of a small dog chasing the British rabbit, with the rabbit gaining all the time. In other words, Great Britain will be gaining yearly and at infinity will be much farther ahead of us than she is now. If we are to catch up—and we should catch up——-we must increase our | i | building capacity. Britain. according to another set of | the House of Representatives is providing a | lt may be asked how this affects the Lon- don conference, which will consider only one part of one of the factors of sea power, i. e,, the fleet in relation to auxiliary vessels. Merchant vessels are, of course, no subject for international limitation. But the rela- tive strength of a nation in merchant ships still the merchant fleet disparity. vessels, be they capital ships or 10,000-ton cruisers, this disparity would be strikingly increased even if the British also forswore large war vessels. The difference between the fleet and the merchant vessels would thus become larger and the disadvamtage to us would becOme greater still. As capital ship tonnage goes down the importance of the merchant tonnage goes up. We should, therefore, be extremely reluctant to consider weakening ourselves in capital ships or large | cruisers so long as our merchant fleet is where it is, If we had an adequate merchant fleet it ls easy to see how much simpler interna- tional, negotiations would become, because we would then start on a more nearly similar basis with Great Britain than we do now. From the standpoint of peace, therefore, a merchant fleet is desirable. From the stand- point of utility in time of war and from the standpoint of secure prosperity in time of peace, the value of an adequate merchant fleet fs inestimable. ee the big | THE WASHINGTON POST: FRIDAY.

To the Editor of The Post—Sir: Under the influence of Christmas cheer afid with New Year Day ap- proaching my thoughts turn back re- flectively to “the good old days.” In Washington as well as elsewhere the “flowing bowl” was at this season an important feature in the festivities of many households. Eggnog, the Tom and Jerry, nqt to mention the heady, hot Scotch, were too often too much in‘ evidence. This refers to many years before the Eighteenth Amend- ment and the Volstead law. In that. day it came to pass thhkt, in Wash- ington at least, public opinion frowned more and more on excessive drinking. “Moral suasion,” to use the moss-grown term, began to get in its work. Drunkenness on the street from year to year became less common. By the time the aforesaid amendment and law were adopted we were well along on the road to real temperance. Whether the present statutory im- provement will finally bring better results than that of public opinion is an open question. I hardly think it will. Expert commissions cannot settle the question. At ledst it must be admitted that whatever indul- gence in strong drink by the young formerly occurred in the home was far less deplorable than that of the clandestine flask and the wild party. But this is old stuff, and I am gete ting away from the gist of this let- ter, which is to assert that Wash- ington, with its large proportion of law-abiding government workers from the orderly towns and villages of the country, has always been more or less of a model. <2 OLD TIMER. Commissions Within Commissions— Law Enforcement Commission's Hard Task. To the Editor of the Post—Sir: Since. (alias “Passing the Buck”) have become an epidemic in. our country and the crisis not in sight, I think it is about time that our Government officials should be attending to the duties for which they were elected or resign. It seems as if commissions can not be authorized fast enough (and if it keeps up the Government will have to start a farm for the breeding of “lame ducks”), so they are making commissions within commissions, It seems that the Law Enforcement Commission (since the chairman fell off of his pedestal by advocating Al Smith's policies in a letter to Gov. Franklyn D. Roosevelt) has split up into ten commissions, and each one ‘| to investigate and report on the sub- - ject which was assigned to it. I see that a few senators (both wet and dry) are getting impatient on account of not having heard any report from them. But “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Their report will be made when they can convince each other that wet ts dry. The tasks the Law Enforcement Commission have to perform make the twelve labors of Hercules look like child's play. I don't know how long Hercules took to perform his tasks, but any- way, he accomplished something and pleased evérybody. But I am afraid their report will be like a Scotch ver- dict, “Not proven,” and will not please anybody.

Magnolia Springs, Ala.,’Dec, 22. Too Much. Tinkering With the Con- stitution Would Destroy Popular Respect for That Charter.

As a pretext for the airing of glittering generalities by near statesmen and tion Has been manhandled from the’ beginning. Its genuine, trustworthy friends are those who are on guard te protect it from the interjection of ex- traneous matter. Americans are proud of their Constitution, and too fre- quently their very reverence for it causes them to be misled by injudi- cious thinkers. A case in point is that of the amendment providing for the election of senators by popular vote. Today it is obvious to every one that the new method of electing senators is not better than that originally adopted. It is a question whether it has not been altogether discredited. This letter is inspired by the re- mark in a recent Post editofial that ill-advised. requests are made of the National Child Labor Committee to launch an active campaign for an amendment to the Federal Constitu- tion. As you say, “the right of pro- tecting children from employment which impairs their health and inter- feres with their education belongs to the States.” There is no telling how many laud- able as well as visionary amendments would be indorsed by a great number of people. But if such amendments are to be adopted from time to time, the Constitution will at last become topheavy with amendments, and the people will cease to reverence it as whole-heartedly as they have up to the present moment. FEDERALIST. A REAL PROBLEM. The new criminal who honestly re- sents scolety’s ineffectual efforts at self-protection may be of minor in- terest to the bored reader, says the Richmond Times Dispatch, but he certainly presents a problem for our penologists.

As a result they have been con- ducting a quiet campaign ever since to grant the islands their Independ- ence, ably assisted by the very strong sentimental desire not to hold people as a subject race who were clamor- img for indepemdence.

In fact the campaign for freedom is still going on. Evem since the self- ishly imapired drive of the sugar and vegetable oil people started last sum- mer, followimg Mr. Stirmson’s fight for the wiche opem tariff door, there have been maneuvers. The answer of the Pilipizes elected at tine last election to represent the islands in Washington to any suggestion of Limiting Philip- pine Imports into the United States is that they want freedom, and will be gimcl to pay tariff duties on their products if given it, Dut that unless they are given independence they should mot be subjected to tariff dis- crimination: o . - 7 HE chief domestic interest which has been turning to the idea of Philippine independence as the solution of its problems is sugar.

Pilots Joe Crosson and Harold Gil- lam, who have already reached the fur trading ship Nanuk, frozen in the ice at North Cape, today awaited favorable flying conditions to search along the Siberian coast for their comrades. Pilot Crosson yesterday reported that he had determined the exact location where natives said they had last heard Elelson's plane.

Although one Russian plane al- ready has started to aid in the search and two more have Been ordered out, little hope was held here they would arrive before another week.

It was believed that the Canadian filers would be able to leave Fair- banks tomorrow and be ready to leave Teller by Sunday.

In thankimg Senator Swanson for sponsoring the bill to raise his rank, Byrd said that when he returns to the United States he will bring to the former “A little American flag that I have carried for you on-all my flights for the past three years.” The fourth radiogram was ad- dressed to Secretary Adams and was picked up by the Navy's radio sta- tion at Tutwila, Samoa, and relayed to Washington.

States with President Hoover, the Mexican chief-to-be amiled and said: “The relations between the two countries are so cordial that we can only speak of that cordiality.” The president-elect will be her¢ until Sunday. From here, he an- nounced yesterday, he will travel North, visiting, among other places, Buffalo and Detroit. He said he was & strong admirer of Henry Ford and probably would call on him in the latter city. His program today calls for visits to Mount Vernon and Arlington Na- tional Cemetery, a luncheon to be given by Secretary of State Stimson at Woodley, a call on Vice President Curtia and a state dinner in his honor at the White House tonight. President-elect Ortiz Rubio held two conversations with Presdient Hoo- ver, one at the White House and the other at the Mexican Embassy. They “Take to” Each Other. Evidently the two ledders “took” to each other. In the red room at the White House, they sat on a sofa and talked for 10 minutes, while Mrs. Hoover and .Senora Ortiz Rubio chatted in another part of the room. common in any event. Like President Hoover, President-elect Ortiz Rubio is am engineer. He attended an engi- meering college in Mexico City, and afterward set out as a surveyor. It is said that he surveyed more Mexican territory than any man in that coun- try’s history. Has Traveled Widely. Like President Hoover, the Mexi- can president-elect also has traveled a great deal. He was his country’s Minister to Germany, and afterward served as Ambassador to Brazil. The similarity also extends to the views of the two men. When he takes office in February, the presi- dent-elect will immediately set out to increase efficiency in the Mexican government, and he also proposes to encourage the development of public work The president-elect arrived here at noon with an entourage of 17, in- cluding Senora Ortiz Rubio,. Mexican government officials, secretaries and military aids. He had no Mexican secret service men with him, pro- tection being provided by secret service men détalled by the Ameri- can Government. Children Arrive Earlier. The children of the president-elect —Ofelia, 9; Pascal, ~6; and Eugenia, 4—arrived in towg an hour earlier, accompanied by Senora Ortiz Rubio's sister, Senorita Esther Ortiz de Megia. The distinguished visitor wag ac- corded all thé honors that would be extended to him if he actually were in office. He was met by Secretary of State Stimson and George Aker- som, secretary to the President. Am- bassador Tellez also was there to greet him. As the president-elect emerged from the station, the Army Band played the Mexican national anthem, and a troop of cavalry presented their sa bers. P Escorted by motorcycle policemen, the party motored through the Capi- tol Grounds, down Pennsylvania ave- nue, and up Sixteenth street to the Mexican Embassy. There another troop of cavalry saluted the presi- dent-elect and the Navy Band agein played the Mexican -hymn. Poses for Photographers. The president-elect and his wife called at the White House at 3 o'clock, and about 20 minutes later came out On the portico with President and Mrs. Hoover to pose for photographs. A little later President and Mrs. Hoover motored to the embassy to return the call. At 4 o'clock Mrs. Hoover returned to the embassy, picked up Senora Ortiz Rubio and took her to the White House for tea. - At 5 o'clock the president-elect was the #onor guest at a reception by the governing board of the Pan- American Union. He was escorted by the Ambassador of Peru, Dr. Her- nan Velarde; the Ministér of Uru- guay, Dr. J. Varela, and the Charge d’Affaires of Argentina, Dr. Julian Enciso. Teliez Is Praised. Secretary of State Stimson, in a speech of \welcome, referred to the cooperation which the Pan-American Union has always enjoyed from the government and the people of Mex- ico, and to the work of Ambassador Tellez in furthering the plans of the union. In reply to Secretary Stimson the president-elect stated that Mexico has always been in favor of closer union between the countries of America, and that Ambassador Tci- lez, who is a vice chairman of the governing board, has instruction to work toward such a ernie A Last night the president-elect was the guest at a dinner at the Carlton Hotel given by Dwight W.

The traffic regulations of the District require that the driver leaving the curb wait until such time as he can pull out without incon- veniencing or slowing through ve- hicles. Obstruction of traffic is the thing that this regulation is designed to prevent.

Mrs. Goldsmith made a special plea in behalf of the Community Chest and asked those present to cooperate in the forthcoming campaign. Among other things Mrs. Goldsmith said: “May I say to you that I found throughout my Hife that serving others brings greater compengations than any of the activities in which we women generally fritter away our lives. I found that service is the fountain of youth. One ig too busy to get old. That in itself is worth while and not always from the point of view of vanity. Urges Community Chest Aid. “One of the great ways of serving not only our people, but all human beings in need, is the Community Chest. It has made for better lives. It has brought better understanding. underprivileged have felt the brighter.’ “Let me invite you—for I need not plead with you—to join the great | army which is enrolling again in the | service | This ane ugliness. of the .Community Cheat. army seeks to vanquish want It seeks to make lives | better and brighter. Every dollar | you will help collect for the Commu- | nity Chest will save some one from despair or bring some one new hope and new opportunity. “No one is too important and no one is too humble to enlist in the Community Chest army of workers and helpers. The principle of the 1| Community Chest is that no gift is too small and none too large, as long as it represents what the giver can actually afford. There is room for every One in this great army of work- ers. Wants Jewish Cooperation. “There is every reason why our people should do even more than their share. Our own social service agencies are generously provided by the Community Chest. We must re- spond by doing our share. But we must do more than that, for in addi- tion to being Jews we are citizens of this great city, and as such we want to do our duty by our fellow citizens. “I hope you will enlist in large numbetfs and help make the second Community Chest campaign even greater than the first and more sig- nificant. It is blessed to give, but twice blessed to give and teach others to give. Let us as a people, in con- sonance with our fine tions, help in this great enterprise.” FILM TIME TABLES Feature pictures are presented on the following schedules at the thea- ters named: RKO-Keith’s —_ Lover,”’ at 11:49 a.

The men bound over and‘ released in bail shortly before Fugate died and their kinship to Clay Watkins are: Samuel J. Watkins, brother; L. K. Rice, son-in-law; Allie Watkins, son, and Earl and Bent Howard, nephews. All waived preliminary hearing, and their cases are expected to be taken up when the grand jury meets, Janu- ary 6. Estimates of the jailer and Fugate as to the total number of men in the mob ranged from 30 to 40, even as high as 100, and Combs said all the men he saw wore masks. “The Vagabond $:50, 5250, at 1:45, 3:40, Westerner Unopposed At Mathematician Head Pa., Dec. 26 (A.P.).— Professor E.

ELTS are now being tightened for the New Year—which brings promise of high entertainment in Washington. The National will be going full tilt under the Erlanger- Tyler banner with a new play from the pen of Dwight Taylor, a comedy called “Trevelyn’s Ghost.” A mid- night performance is scheduled for the Gayety to usher the Old Year out and welcome in the New Year. The German Opera Company, from Berlin and way stations, moves into Poll’s along around the ‘sixth night of January—and the night clubs, al- ways with wus, are promising bigger and better jazz bands.

Here's a Happy New YALE AND MARLOW MURDERS LINKED WITH DINNER HOLDUP CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. said, was a contract for the killing of Yale and Marlow, which was signed by a Bronx racketeer and on which $15,000 still was due. The contract, Donovan said, was in the pocket of a “man from Chicago,” who, lulled into a sense of false se- curity, walked into the trap the New York slickers had set for him. When seven robbers held up the Vitale dinner they took Johnson’s pistol, several hundred dollars in cash and jewelry (that made it look like a good robbery) and the contract. All but the contract was returned within a few hours to the “victims,” most of whom, Donovan said, knew about the holdup two hours before it was staged. Th econtract, the inspector ex- plained, was signed by Ciro Terra- nova, who was a guest at the dinner, who is most familiarly known as “the artichoke king.” and who has been many times arrested but never con- victed. As Inspector Donovan told it, Yate and Marlow, who had many rackets, had been poaching on »preserves Terranova Claimed as his own. Terra- nova didn’t like it. He got in touch with some friends in Chicago who agreed—for $20,000—-to get the two men out of his way. He paid them $5,000 on account. Yale and Marlow were killed. The Chicago man wanted his $15,000. On the night of December 7 he was in New York with the contract in his pocket. They could pay, he said, cr he would G@rop the contract and an explanatory letter in a mail box, ad- dressed to Police Commissioner Whalen. “We'll pay,” he was told, but firs’ why not go to a little dinner party and have a good time? It was a good party, for a city magistrate ana other Judges would be there and De- tective Johnson, who would sit be- side him so he wouldn't come tc harm. Contract Taken Away. He didn’t come to harm, but when the holdup men came in on the din- ner one of the first they searched was “the guy next to Johnson.” From his pocket they took the contract. Terranova is at liberty. Yale and Marlow are dead, as per contract has gone home. William Bailey, of Brooklyn, is neid as Yale’s murderer, but never has been brought to trial. Parker Hen- derson, son of a former Miami, Fiz.. mayor, was brought here to test- fy as to whether he had any infor- mation pointing to a connection be- tween the killing and Al Capone then a resident of Miami, now a pris- oner in Pennsylvania for a year. (He was caught in Philadelphia last sum- mer carrying a gun.) Nothing ever came of it. Three Held in Murder. Johnny Wilson, former middle- weight. boxing champion, whom Mar- low at ome time managed and with whom he ate his last supper, Edward L. Lewis and Al Seigel, are held in from $20,000 to $50,000 bail in Mar- low’s murder. No one has been charged with the actual killing. Magistrate Vitale, who was a friend of Terranova’s and sat in a box with him at the last annual party of the Tepecano Club, which is not the reg- MOTHER AND INFANT DIE FROM EXPOSURE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. brought here and buried today. The bodies were found in a hol- low log, three-quarters of a milé from the Marcum home, by the fa- ther, Frank Marcum, who retraced his daughter’s footprints through thc snow to the point where the mother and young boy.collapsed from ex- haustion after four days of wander- ing in the bitter cold. They were placed in the jog by Minnie. to shield them from the cold. Minnie said she left Huntsville with her mother, brother and sister in an automobile. At the base of the mountain they left the machine tu walk up the mountain trail, a dis- tance of 3 miles. They became lost, she said, the trail being invisible from the heavy snow. They wandered about, she salu, through Thursday, Friday and Sat- urday. On Sunday the mother feil exhausted, and died within a few minutes. The infant boy died short- ly afterward. Minnie said her younger sister be- came ill from the cold and she took clothing from the body of her moNe: | to warm her. Two more days were spent in wandering before the; reached home. Both collapsed aftei telling of their experiences. Phvs'- clans who attended them said they were suffering from exposure, bu* would recover.

Johnson’s trial was adjourned today until next Monday after he had testi- fied in his own defense that he did not know Terranova, that he thought the hold-up was “bona fide” and tcat when Magistrate Vitale returned his pistol to him a few hours after the stick-up the magistrate declined to tell him where he had got it. What further action Commissioner Ahwlen plans in the murders and the hold-up he declined to reveal today. Tonight, however, it became known that after the adjournment of the trial, Commissioner Whalen departed for Chicago. His purpose is to con- fer with officials there on allega- tions concerning the Chicago gun- men. The commissioner considered his mission so important he refused to inftrust it to detectives, believing he could accomplish more personally. _ MATTRESSES — RENOVATED Best Service and Prices COLUMBIA BEDDING CO., Inc. 219 G St. NW.

a ele Se - US, BONDS ARE FIRM INSLUGEISH MARKET First-Grade Rails Remain Steady During Very Dull Day. INDUSTRIALS ARE HEAVY New York, Dec. 26 (A. P.).—The bond market drifted idly in the dol- drums of the holidays today. The session was one of the dullest since last summer although volume slight- ly exceeded that of Tuesday. Price changes were highly irregular, but the tendency was downward in most groups. However, United States Gov- ernments and first grade rails held firm and really weak spots in the re- mainder of the list were few. Time money was unchanged. The renewal rate on call loans was 5% per cent, but the charge advanced to 6 per cent early in the afternoon. The increase caused little surprise and higher rates would not be unex- pected in view of the requirements of banks and corporations as the new year approaches. Small Investment Demand. Investment demand for bonds was gemall and such buying as did appear was selective. Some of the low cou- pon rails moved up a point or 80, among them Central Pacific First 4s, Missouri Pacific General 4s, South- ern Railway (St. Louls Div‘sion) 4s, and Union Pacific 4s of 1968. Firmer tendencies were evident in Atchison General 4s, Rock Island 4%5s, Erie 5s, Missouri Pacific 56. New Haven Re- funding 4's, Pennsylvania General 4148, and St. Louis & San Francisco 4',8, and Prior Lien 4s. Heaviness of numerous low priced industrials reflected further tax sell- ing, but this was offset to some ex- tent by speculative purchases of issues in which this factor was not an influence. American Agricultural Chemical 7\%4s and Certainteed 5%. dropped to new lows. Hudson Coal 5s advanced 2 points. Utility Group Varies. The utility group was mixed, with telephone company bends showing the Best support. On the other hand, euch issues as Kansas Gas & Electric 6s, Utah Power & Light 5s and Utili- ties Power & Light 5'4s8 eased. Sluggishness marked the course of the convertibles. American Telephone 4\%,8 failed to keep pace with the shares and moved narrowly for a net gain of 1%. Missouri Pacific 5445 and New Haven 6s advanced 1 and 1%, respectively. American I. G. Chemical 548 and Alleghany 5s of 1944 lost half a point. Buropean government obligations held up well, but Latin Americans were heavy, Peruvian 6s losing about 2 points on the average, while Rio de Janeiro 644s went to a new low on a 3-point decline. Bonds of Chile, Ar- gentina and Brazil were irregularly lower. LOCAL STOCK EXCHANGE Regular call. 11:15 a m. Gapial ital 1 Tractio Co.. 5 at 75 ° ac Elec. 6% pfd.. 5 at 109%. 5% pfd.. 2 at 104%.

Not one of the companies is paying dividends and on that ac- count their shares are not to be re- garded in the nature of investments.

M—I would appreciate it if you could advise me concerning the past earnings record of Fairbanks, Morse & Co., and your opinion as fo its prospects. I would also be pleased to know how long this company bas been paying aa $3 dividend.

Earnings for six months end- ed June 30, 1929, were $1,121,826, equivalent to $2.38 a share on com- mon stock. This represents an in- crease of 11 per cent over the cor- responding period of last year. Com- pany’s prospects appear promising. Commércial Solvents Co. S. F. B.—Please give me details of the recent dividend declaration by Commercial Solvents Co.; when pay- able.

W.—Will you please give me | your opinion on P. Lorillard Co.? Do you think the company is growing a likelihood that the stock will pay a dividend in the near future? I will also appreciate any in- formation you many give me in re- gard to Brunswick-Balke stock. Do you consider this to be a better in- vestment than Lorillard? Answer.—Earnings trend for P. Lor- illard Co. has been downward over a period of years, with 75 cents earned on the stock in 1928, against $1.25 in 1927 and 82.58 in 1926. Under the cir- cumstances, the stock would not ap- pear to have near term attractiveness, notwithstanding that, in company with the rest of the market, it is at present selling very low. In view ‘of the company’s earnings trend, a divi- dend in the near future does not ap- pear at all likely. Brunswick-Balke is in a strong position as to cash, &<., | and demand for its products has been good because of its diversified output. business for the third of the current year showed an increase of 50 pen cent, as. compared with the same term last year. Dividends at the rate of 75 cents quarterly, or 83 annually, are now being paid. The outlook for the new year is bright and the dividend appears safe. Con- sidering these facts.

ee Re ee ee eee WASHINGTON: FRIDAY. DECEMBER 27. 1929. - 2 NATIONAL LEAGUE RECORDS HELD BY EARL CL : GRIFFITH AGAIN TEMPTS CITY SLICKERS | _ By WESTBROOK PEGLER__ EW YORK, Dec. 26.—It has been just about one year since Tex Rickard lay in state in the new Garden, but his favorite and most lucrative business device, the process of eliminating the heavyweights and realigning them goes on as before. Friday evening, Johnny Risko, old pretzel molder from Cleveland, who was @€liminated several times at con- | siderable expense to the patrons of the ennobling science, returns to the ring for another elimination bout, this time facing Gerald (Tuffy) Grif- fith, of Chicago. The purpose of the entertainment will be to select a partner or accompanist for Jack Sharkey, the leering Lithuanian, of Boston, in his 10-round performance | at Miami about the twenty-second of February. Mr. Sharkey has been definitely picked to entertain or bore the cus- tomers in Miami, according to state of his temperamént on the eve- ning in question, but it has been quite difficult to find an accompanist whose very presence in the ring would not dishearten the prospective patrons and send houses and night repetition of the love orgy of last winter. Griffith’s Record is Slightly Tainted. Mr. Griffith is a young man, who has knocked out ten of the thirteen athletes who essayed to cavort with clubs, fearing a him since he passed the light-heavy- | weight limit of 175 pounds and began | t© practice among the larger and fun- | nier characters. The victims of these conquests were obscure and in a cer- tain sense, pathetic individuals bear- Ing such names as Staggering Joe this and Collapsible Tom that, all mem- | bers of what you might call the Tanks Corps of the roped arena, meaning that they were tankers and practically guaranteed to go in the water with very little urging from Gerald (Tuffy) Griffith. , In New York to date Mr. Griffith | has had a small but balanced career. The first time he fought here as a 175-pounder, he was a_ wild-eved | country youth and somebody had | told him to be sure to take his | watch in the ring with him because the city was full of unscrupulous characters who would be almost cer- tain to frisk his trousers in the dressing room. Kept One Glove on His Watch. So Gerald (Tuffy) had ai watch pocket tailored in his ring trunks and then as he was going down the aisle, a sinister individual whis- pered to him: “Be sure to keep one hand on your watch *pocket at al! times as your opponent is a notorious pickpocket and is almost certain to steal it if you lax your vigilance.” Young Mr. Griffith. coming as he | did from the wide open spaces of | Sioux City, Iowa, where dishonesty is an unknown thing. then thought of handing his watch over to manager for safe keeping but cided he would stand the better chance of retaining the, watch in tie long run if he kept it on his person as advised by the sinister character. His opponent that evening was Mr. James J. Braddock, who so far as I know is not a pickpocket at all and certainly not so accomplished a pickpocket as to be be able to extract | a watch from a pair of silk trunks | while wearing boxing gloves. How- ever, young Mr. Griffith answered the bell fighting in one-handed fashion, clasping his right glove over his pocket and casting some very sus- picious glances at the refaree ever that gemtleman went Upshot of Matter is Broken Watch. The upshot of Braddock knocked him temporarily goofy and for irony, when Gerald fell down he landed on his pants pocket and smashed the watch anvy- way, aS a result of which he and his Intimates spent several weeks tweez- ing small brass fiywheels springs and connecting his person. On his reappearance here, this time as @ heavyweight, he fought or as- saulted a forlarn Teuton by the name of Ludwig Haymann, who bore the Strange title of Doktor. Mr. Walter St. Dennis, chief of the public re- lations bureau of the Garden corpor- ation, recognized only three varieties of doctors, namely doctors of medi- | cle- when- near him this was that Mr stop-dogs, rods out of cine, horse doctors and corn doctors, | CONTINUED ON PAGE 15.

Habit of Upsetting | Dope Makes Cleve- lander Dangerous. By EDWARD J. NEIL. EW YORK, Dec. 26 (A.P.)—Tnhe ugly duckling of the prize ring, rubbery Johnny Risko, has it | in his power again to break the hopes | and spirit of another young aspirant for heavyweight honors. The bound- ing one from Cleveland, a constant menace to every battler who rears his head above the crowd, will provide _the test of fire and leather tomor- row night for Gerald Ambrose Grif- in an important ten-round tilt /at Madison Square Garden, The winner will be among those present -when the Garden nominates a rival for Jack Sharkey in the second an- nual duel of the Southland at Mi- ami, Fla., February 27. The plump baker boy already has engaged Griffith once, losing to hilin on a foul in seven rounds earlicr this season. With any other fighter than Risko that would indicate that Gerald Ambrose, who was dedicated to fighting from the moment he war christened, had something of an edge. Tabbed as Spoiler By Tex Rickard. Risko, however, is the master of the prize ring form reversals. The late Tex Rickard, in a moment of N exasperation, named him “The Spoll- | er’ and named him well. His hobby has always seemed to be the trim- ming of logical heavyweight contend- ers after “blowing” decisions to very ordinary athletes. In the course of various elimination tournaments Risko defeated Jack De- laney, Paulino U2Zcudun, George God- frey and finally Jack Sharkey, and would have faced Gene Tunney in the heavyweight king’s last stand but for to Tom Heeney in Detroit in 1927. has been beaten by Romero Rojas, | Sully Montgomery, and was technni- |cally knocked out by Chuck Wiggins. Max Schmeling also stopped him here last year. Griffith’s Record Bears Blot. Griffith, a rushing, swinging socker has only one bad mark on his record. Jimmy Braddock, the light-heavy- weight contender, caught him charging in one night in the Garden and laid him low with a right smash to the CLASH AT GARDEN TONIGHT Pitt Gridmen Halt; Drillat St. Louis Keeping Players Fit for S.

The practice session was held on Francis Field at Washington Univer- sity, where the players were taken after being greeted this afternoon at Union Station by a delegation of Pittsburgh alumni and representa- tives of the Chamber of Commerce. They went from here to Kansas City and planned to make stops at Dallas, Tex.; El Paso, Tex., and Tucson, Ariz., for practice work. “My boys are in good shape, but have had very little chance to practice against Southern California plays,” said Coach John.R. Sutherland. “The weather conditions at Pittsburgh have made it practically impossible for us to do outdoor work. Keeping fit has been our main task.” The players ap- peared to be confident.

THE WASHINGTON POST: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1929. ae ae ee ‘HERTZ SEES BRILLIANT RACE MEETING FOR 5) ray —_ yy > Reig hCount’s Gamer Talks Of Racing Says Sport Is Placed on High Plane by Track Officials. Will Breed His Colt to 25 Selected . Mares in 1930. IAMI, Dec. 26 (N.Y.WNS.) — John D. Hertz. who arrived here from Chicago a few days and opened his winter home at ami Beach for the season, is never too much engaged to talk horses and racing. In discussing the approach- ing race meeting here today, he said: fail to see how the voluntary closing of Keeney Park on the ground of threatened injunction proceedings can have any effect on the meeting soon to open here. The pr never looked so bright. With men like J. E. Widener, J. H. Carstairs and Maj. Warbyrton behind the ven- ture there is every assurance that the racing will be conducted on the high- ést e, with the commercial side secontiary to the sport side. “The races this season are sure to attract- those who love racing for its own sake, and it will be surprising if the sport does not prove to be better even than in thé past. I am looking forward to seeing the colors of Mrs. Hertz In action.” Talks of Reigh Count And Stud Service. Turning to more general questions, he reiterated that Reigh Count, which won the Coronation Cup in England last June, was definitely in retirement for breeding purposes. He loves to talk about the horse for which he recently refused $1,000,000, Offered by W. T. Waggoner, the wealthy Texas oll man He is confi- dent that his favorite horse will be @ success in the stud and said that he would be bred to 25 selected mares next spring and that he anticipated much pleasure in watching his first crop develop as yearlings. A number of close students of bloodlines have been con in selecting mare for Reigh Count, and Mr. Hertz admitted that there was a possibility that Anita Peabody, winner of the Belmont Puturity in 1927, would be sent to his court. A colt or a from this mating would be a It int be recalled that Anita Pea- body which, by the way, was bred by Mr. and Mrs. Hertz at their own farm neaf Chicago, beat Reigh Count a head when she won the futurity. At that time she was closer to their hearts than the son of Sunreigh, which had been purchased only three weeks previously for $12,500. Hopeful of Staging International Race. When asked today which was their favorite now Mr. Hertz smiled and said: “We love them both. They have iven us .,many thrills and the eenest kind of sporting satisfaction. Few who have taken up the sport have been favored so quickly with two such remarkable horses. We consider Reigh Count the equal of any horse ever developed in this count When asked about the proposed in- ternational race with $100,000 added next July at Arlington Park under the direction of the American Na- tional Jockey Club, of which he Is a director, Mr. Hertz safd: “We are more than hopeful that the race will be run. The report of Cc. J, Fitzgerald, our representative who has just returned from abroad, is decidedly encouraging. As you know three owners have indicated a willingness to enter their horses if they train well next summer and hold their form. We must wait for something more definite, but it is satisfying to know that a number of foreign owners are interested in fos- tering international cnmpetition in racing.” PEERLESS WINS FIFTH.

Roseacher menage, goes for all the coon skins in the very first race down at Jeff Park this afternoon. Now I know this one has been bet on by the wise boys several times and, as I have mentioned before, money talks louder than anything else, even inter- Merle Knight will be in the pilot house and no mistakes will be made. The other good thing down at the Shrewsbury course, where the sport is éntering its final lap, is DONNATINA, which goes in the fifth. a nice second last out, has been dropped down sev- ks to me like a good spot This trick, Also, and for your further information, I am particularly partial to TADDYWAWA in the fourth. Is much better than those she has@ been asked to run with and I can't see how it will even be _ close. ZURICH, which came to life with a bang not long ago, has been tabbed for the place money, and RAUCONA gets what is left. Down at Oriental Park, where Un- cle Bertram is going a mean heat, if I do say it myself, and why should not I, the best bet is PANDY. The final race is the spot, and if she does not come home on the chin strap they should load her in a car and ship her to the glue works, pronto. However, I do not think the issue will even be in doubt after they go around that first turn. The safest proposition at Havana, however, is none other than the con- sistent LUCKY DRIFT. which has won his last two starts in a row. HAVANA. Gay Isabeau. Lady Peggy.

VERNONS — BEATEN BY WOLTZ Thrilling League Fray Decided by Margin of 22 to 21. O undefeated teams battled point for point for more than three torrid quarters in the Community.Center League last night, and when the final whistle was blown the Woltz Photographers had kept {n- tact their perfect and the Mount Vernon quintet had absorbed its first defeat. The loss of Da in the last minute of play left the Mount Vernons weakened, and a field goal helped the Photographers to ® 22-21 verdict. ft marked the third straight win in the league for the victors and the first defeat for the losers in the competi- tion of two leagues. The Mount Ver- non five still has an undefeated rec- ord in the Sunday School Court League. Single Point Separates Rivals. Throughout the game at the end of each quarter but one point separated the teams, with the Mount Vernon five leading at each pause until the last. At the end of the first period the Church team led, 8-7; at half-time it had the advantage, 12-11, but during the third frame the Photogra = ahead to be in the lead, 19. Only two field goals were scored dur- ing the final ten minutes of play, and although they were distributed be- tween the rivals, the Mount Vernons were unable to make up the handicap of the single point. The game was an extremely rough affair, a total of 25 personal fouls being called during the evening: Of the eight shots made by the winners from the 15-foot line, seven were made Dean Waiker, “gh Banty.re.

TE TODAY -- Alumni Plays AtSt. Johns, Eastern Business Quintet to Face Hyattsville in Second Clash. Series Teams Return to Courts After Ab- sence for Holiday. HREE scholastic court games to- - day will mark the end of the| Christmas respite enjoyed by the | teams, and an additional pair of) games tomorrow will definitely start | the basket ball program on an unin-| terrupted run which will continue | until the first week in March Although Eastern was scheduled to | meet its alumni yesterday, but few | of the grads put in their appearance | at the Lincoln Park Gym, and Coach | “Chief” Guyon had to be content ‘with merely sending his charges | through a brisk scrimmage. H swe | ever, several of the old-timers have | signifed their intention to be on hand this morning, and the game is | expected to be played. The Business Five will other combination to break the ice | of the vacation week. as the Orange | and Blue tossers will invade the Hy- attsville National Guard Armory for a return game with the Hyattsville | High Five, which it 80 completely | routed in its own gym some weeks ago. However, the Maryland team showed | a reversal of form against the Tech Team last week and may put up a stronger fight against the Stenogs this afternoon. | A third game will find the St. John's | Cadets stacking up against an Alumni | five in the Vermont avenue gym in | the Prepmen's opening contest of the | season. Although weakened by the | loas of Schlegel, Hudson and Lucas, | Coach Paully Byrne expects to put a formidable quintet on the floor con- sisting of Gallagher and Augusterfer, forwards; Cooper, center, and Morris | and Quigley, guards. The St. John's | team will play its second game of the | season on Monday, tackling the Mount St. Joseph's All Stars, who will invade the local floor for the fray. Gettysburg May Play Western. Uniess the Gettysburg team has scheduled another game for tomor- row night, Coach Ciifton R. Moore will lead his Western tossers to the Pennsylvania town for a game with that aggregation. Early in the weex the Gettysburg manager requested a | game with the Western Five, but only | yesterday was the answer sent. Un- | leag ne hears to the contrary today, | Moore will take his charges north- ward tomorrow. The Centra] Team is also listed to see action tomorrow night, being on | the books to oppose the Knight's Store Five of Alexandria at the stronz- hold across the river. The Blue 4nd White courtmen have shown a d*e-. cidedly improved form in their last | two appearances and may make their opponents hustle tomorrow. Business is not expecting any trou- | ble from Hyattsville today, althougo | they may not repeat the 54-18 tri- umph scared in its inaugural, but *»e Eastern Squad does not figure to have | any easy time with the players rep- resenting its alumni. Kessler Takes Part In Scrimmage. Bruce Kessler, former Eastern lumi- | nary and one of the two interhigh | court officials recently appointed, took part in the scrimmage at his old | school yesterday, and it was about all | the present Light Blue and White | Team could do to keep up with his | fast-moving legs and arms. Along with George Madigan, Joe Sweeney. Angus Heeks and a few more old- | timers, the grads may make it plenty tough for the 1929-30 edition this | morning In meeting the Gettysburg Five, the Western squad of courtmen will be tackling the same team that was giv- | ing Central a lacing last cette nme night, before becoming demoralized when one of its teammates threw | the ball in the wrong basket to give | Central the lead. From then on, the Centralites had little trouble in main- taining their advantage, eventually winning. 29-26. If a Gettysburg per- former does not repeat the “Riegels”’ tomorrow night, the West End gang may find a tough opponent on its hands. It will be the last game for Cen- tral and Western tomorrow, meeting their respective teams early next week. Western is slated to tackle the grads on Monday, while Central will play the game be the | which has become an annual feature | of the Mount Pleasant School on New | Year's Day.

RING TEAM LISTS 3 FOES Match With Army’s Boxers Only Home Contest Listed. Special to The Washington Post. ORGANTOWN, W. Va.. Dec. 25. With three “major” opponents already scheduled for the first intercollegiate boxing team of West Virginia University, and the prospect of two or three others for the card, the glove artists Coach Eddie Vacher- esse has under his tutelage at the present time are certain of facing a difficult opening season. The bouts with the United States Military Academy Team here’ on Merch 8 constitute the only. home duel announced thus far, and the other two matches are with Penn State at State College, Pa., January 25, and New York University at New York City February 1. Director H. A. Stansbury announced that the com- plete card for the West Virginia box- ers will not be ready for release until after the first of the eyar. Last year an informal boxing team from the Mountaineer camp fought a postseason duel with the Penn State outfit and gave the Nittany Lions more trouble than had been antic- ipated. The two aces of that group of West Virginians who won from their Penn State opponents, Gregg Krebs and Harry Stunkard, 145 and 155 pounders, form the nucleus of this year’s team, which, incidentally, Kreb is captaining. In Squad, Two Dozen Hopefuls Coach Vacheresse has been working with a squad which has been reduced to about two dozen hopefuls ever since football season ended. Krebs had a group under his tutelage dur- ing the latter part of the season, and as a result the Mountainetr mittmen are well along in their conditioning. Coach Vacheresse has prescribed a set of training rules for his proteges for the vacation period now In vogue and will start in regular sessions when classes are resumed January 2. A second attempt will be made to correct a knee injury to Eddie Stumpp, diminutive West Virginia athlete, here tomorrow morning when the little Mountaineer star will go under the knife at a local hospital. Stumpp was injured in the Washington and Lee football game in 1928 as a sopho- more. The damaged knee would not permit him to take part in basketball last season and he underwent an op- eration which likewise held him out of baseball Played During 1929 Without Injury. During the past fall Stumpp man- aged to get through the football s5ea- son without serious injury, but his knee never sufficiently mended to per- mit him to play regularly. He tried basketball again this year, but found his injured member unfit for the strain. Specialists here who have been car- ing for the case will operate tomorrow to take the “play” out of the damaged ligaments. Last year the semilunar cartilage was removed, but the injured muscles did not develop sufficiently during the past year to keep the liga- ments in place and the “tightening” process has been prescribed as the best remedy. ARCADIANS WIN AGAIN. The Arcadians won their eighth. straight victory last night and their second start in the Boys’ Club League by defeating the Samosets, 35-6, at the Boys’ Club gym.

(‘“‘Whozit?” is a test of your knowledge of history and current events. The statements below describe a character whom you should be able to identify. Match Cited by Counsel for Association. YULE PAGEANT PLANRED| —_—— ARLINGTON COUNTY. BUREAU OF THE POST. Tel. Clar. 500 Clarendon. Va Discussing his views regarding the movement sponsored by the Back to the District Association, J. Cloyd By- ars. chief counsel for the association, | last night gave out the following | statement: “There is no disposition on my part | to include the City of Alexandria in | the back-to-the-District movement, unless the people of that city want | to be included,” said Mr. Byars, when asked regarding this phase of the movement. “Of course, if the retro- | cession act of 1846 should be declared unconstitutional by the Supreme | Court, the original District lines would be reesteblished, which would | include Alexandria City. If, however, the State of Virginia should decide to make a graceful tribute to the mem- | ory of its most illustrious son and | cede back to the Federal Governmen* on or before the 200th anniversary 5f | ‘Washington's birthday that part of the original District now embraced :n Arlington County, it could eliminate | the City of Alexandria. I have under- stood that there are many people in Alexandria who would like to become citizens of the District and enjoy, along with the citizens of the county, the many advantages to be gained. “Speaking as a citizen of Virginia, deeply interested in all that concerns her development and progress, as well as @ Patriotic American anxious to see the National Capital become the most beautiful city in the world, I am of the opinion that all Northern Vir- ginia, particularly the counties of Lou- doun, Fairfax, Fauquier and Prince William, would be tremendously bene- fited if the District lines were brought closer to them. “For that and other reasons, I am favorably inclined to the proposed commission advocated by State Sen- ator Prank L, Ball, looking to the development of the Virginia metro- politan area. But the citizens of this section need not expect action on the part of Congress, looking to the beau- tification and improvement of this territory, unless they feel enough in- terest in the matter to make their wishes known by identifying them- selveg with the Back to the District Association, which is now asking for thelr moral and financial support.” In conclusion, Mr. Byars stated that the association is maintaining head- quarters in the Rucker Building, at Clarendon, in the rooms formerly oc- cupied by the Arlington County Chamber of Commerce, where those interested in the movement are in- vited to come day or night and gain first-hand information as to the asso- ciation’s plans.

OFTEN HAD HEADACHES Greensboro, N. C., Dec. 26 (A.P.). The theory that a blow on the head a year ago caused Charies B. Law- son, Stokes County farmer, to become suddenly insane yesterday, killing his wife and six children, was being discounted by physicians today. A specl dispatch to the Greens- boro (N. C.) Daily ‘Record today quoted Dr. B. J. Helsabeck, Stokes County coroner, as saying that phy- siclans who have removed the brain of the man who shot his family and later killed himeelf, have found no trace of a blow on the brain. Dr. Helsabeck, was assisted .in the examination by Dr. Spotswood Tay- lor, a surgeon in Johns Hopkins Hos- pital, Baltimore, who has been visit- ing relatives near Walnut Cove. The ‘brain, after further examina- tion, is to be removed to Johns Hop- kins Hospital in an effort to discover what type of insanity was respon: sible for Lawson's act. Dr. Helsabeck, who was Lawson's family physician, declared today tha* thus far the examination had re- vealed a low grade degenerative proc- ess in the middle of the brain. “I have rmoted during the past 12 months that Lawson was aci- ing queerly. He had been coming to me with complaints of severe headaches,” Dr. Helsabeck said. Ferry Proposed On Eastern Shore Chesapeake Beach Road Asks Permit of I. C. C. to Speed Service.

Dec. 26 (A.P.).— Virginia’s rural living standards are relatively low, but until levels of appreciation are raised through im- provement of educational conditions there can be no hope of materially and idealistically improving the farm- er’s lot in this State, a joint legis- lative and executive commission an- nounced in an exhaustive report here tonight. This is the conclusion on which the commission, created at the 1928 assembly session, bases recommen- dations to the assembly next month to make farm living more satis- factory. Until, however, the farmer has helped himself there will be no permanent improvement, the report declared. “The State,” it asserted, “beyond control over certain pathological minimums, has no power to compel people to raise their living standards to any given level, however desirabte. Further than removing certain in- equalities, the State can only aid in- directly in such ways as through im- provement of the educational status. and by safq@guarding health.” La The com be filed w the General Assembly on its convening January 8, is com- posed of the following from the Senate: S. J. Thompson, Pounding Mill, afd J. B, Watkins, Midlothian, } from the House of Delegates, W. Stu- art Moffett, Staunton; A. J. Terrell, New Canton, and F. K. Whitehead, Roseland; from appointments_of the governor, Julian A. Burruss; acke.. y - : en Fuqua, Prospect; F. Holsinger, McGaheysville; T. 2 Johnson, Norfolk; J. V. Nichols, Pur- cellville, and Edward G. Tankard, Nassawadox. Its officers, elected by the members, are Julian A. Burruss, chairman, and G. F. Holsinger, secre- tary. The enactment of laws, the com- mission believes, can not cure all the ills of farming in Virginia, but, ic concluded, “it is probable that some- thing may be accomplished by the elimination of certain laws that hurt the farmer, and by the enactment of a few additional laws in his behalf.” Means by which income can be in- creased are looked upon by the com- mission as one of the fundamental propositions by which rural living can be improved. The commission found that the average annual. value of goods used by a Virginia rural family was $1,000, from figures furnished by the department of rural sociology of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Of this, more than 57 per cent was éesti- mated as being purchased from out- side sources, while approximately . 42 per cent was furnished by the farm. Food Largest Item. The largest item in a table of ex- penditures for the average farm fam- ily in one year’ was for food, a total of $412, of which about two-thirds was estimated to be furnished by the farm. The farm also furnished oper- ating goods, including fuel, without rent payment, but contributed noth- ing for clothing, furnishings and equipment, maintenance of health, advancement, personal goods, life and health insurance and unclassified. items. The amount of 866 a year allowed for advancement was regarded by the commission as a fair index of a fam- ily’s plane of living. The lower a family’s income the larger the pro- portion of the living budget which aa or go into provision for primary ts. it discovered. “How to find the money to help ambitious sons and daughters get a good education is an almost insuper- able difficulty with many a farm family. Furthermore, the advance- ment allowance includes little pro- vision for books and magazines, even though rural people do not generally have access to public libraries. One reason why rural churches and other rural organizations fail to measure up to satisfying standards is because rural families simply do not have the money for their adequate support. Information available to the com- mission revealed that general rural studies showing that both the farmer and his wife work approximately eleven hours a day are applicable to Virginia. “The long hours of the farmer and his wife,” it concludes, “result in such physical exhaustion that they cannot read intelligently when they do quit work, neither are they in condition to properly parti- cipate in group activities.” Granddaughter Is Yule Gift to Daniel Garges s Are Not Cure. | Daniel E.

Sleet Forced Violation Of Code on Use of Flag Hundreds of people passing the corner of Pehnsylvania avenue and Fourteenth street northwest during the past few evenings have stopped in surprise at the unusual sight of the United States flag standing out stiffly after sundown from its mast on top of the District Building. It wasn't the result of ‘disrespect or’ negligence, however, it was ex- plained at the District Building yes- terday. The trouble was that the flag was soaked during the fecent sleet storm and when employes of the building attempted to haul it down, they found it frogen stiff. Because of the height of the pole and the slippery condition of the roof. there was nothing to do but- wait for the sun to dry the flag out during en- suing days, so that it gpuld be hauled down last night.
