WIFE HURT IN ESCAPE 81 ROPE Bays She Was Locked in Room by Husband After Quarrel—Break* Leg While attempting to escape from her husband, who she says locked her in her room on the third story of their home at 820 K street southeast, by sliding down a rope into the back yard, Mrs. Laura Goldsborough fell twenty feet into the yard. She is under treatment at Casualty Hospital for shock and a fractured leg. Mrs. Goldsborough told the police that her husband, Joseph, came home “very late” last night. She upbraided him and they quarreled for several hours. Husband Hides Keys. After she had gone to bed, she said, her husband locked her in the room and hid the keys. Walting until he had gone to sleep, she quickly dressed, gathered together a small bundle of clothing and quietly opened the window. She let fall a rope from the win dow to the ground, three stories be low. dropped the clothing, and, after sitting on the window sill for a moment to work up her courage, crawled out over the edge and be gan sliding down the rope. The rope seared and tore her hands, and while she was still twenty feet above the ground the agony of the burns forced her to release her hold and she plunged into the yard. Just Wanted to Go Oway. Her cries attracted the attention of neighbors and she was taken to the hospital. She would give no reason for her action when ques tioned at the hospital. She said that she did not know where she was going when she attempted to escape but declared that she “just wanted to get away." Goldsborough was questioned by the police.

Albert Corkran’s Ticket to Firemen’s Banquet En titles Him to Car The lightnings from thp thunder storm aroused at Rockville, Md., as a result of alleged “wild” smokers are striking in the most unexpected places. The Reverend Albert Corkran, of Washington Grove, Methodist min ister and president of the Mont gomery County Anti-Saloon League, is the fortunate victim of the latest thunderbolt. Not knowing that by his action he was unconsciously participating in a raffle, the Reverend Mr. Cork ran purchased a ticket to the fire department smoker held in Rock ville, Monday night. The ticket bore a number which the minister did not particularly notice until today. He was notified that the number corresponds to one drawn from a hat the night of the smoker as a result of which he is the winner of an automobile.

Opponents of unified air force, as advocated by Brigadier General William Mitchell, assistant chief of army air service, had their inning today before the House Air craft Committee. Resuming open hearings which closed abruptly last week, the com mittee heard witnesses assail w h° charged the Amer ican coast defense and air services are worthless. Rear Admiral Biliary P. Jones, chief of the navy general board, reviewed the board’s recent report on the relative value of battle ships and aircraft in which it was held that the battleship was the dominant sea power. “This is the mature judgment of the navy after three months of intensive study,” said Jones. Danger Held Negligible. Jones repeated that no airplanes of a potential enemy of the United States could fly from their home bases to attack the country. “The distance between the United States and foreign countries is too great to make the menace of an enemy air attack upon us really serious,” declared Jones. “If we could be assured that we would have no trouble within the next ten years, we would know how to prepare for a possible next war,’’ Jones added. “But under the present circumstances, it is the opinion of the board that all units of the navy, aircraft included, should be improved simultaneously; one not to the do terlment of any other.” The immediate need of the navy is the construction of air protective armor on American battleships, Jones said. Plane Carriers Needed. The American navy in number and tonnage of capital ships is fully up to the 5-5-3 ratio of the Wash ington conference, Jones declared. “But we are woefully weak in air plane carriers, the only other craft limited by the treaty,” he said. “Do you think a 2,000-pound bomb dropped from the air would (Continued on Page 2, Column 5.)

T>® Federal courts may be called upon to determine the legal ity of the ouster order drafted by the Republican leadership of the Senate against the La Follette in surgent bloc, it was learned today. The La Follette group is eon templatingAan appeal ta courts for a writ of injunction as a “de fense” move- against the ouster proceedings. The insurgents irv volved are Senator La Follette (Rep.) of Wisconsin and his fol lowers, Senators Brookhart (Rep.)* of lowa, Ladd (Rep.) of North Dakota, and Frazier (Rep.) of North Dakota. G. O. P. to Go Ahead. In the face of this threat, the Re publican Committees on Committeas is going ahead with plans to bar the insurgents from all further Senatorial service as Republicans by depriving them of majority com mittee assignments. Communications have been sent to each of the insurgents asking them whether they desired to be assigned as independents and point ing out that similar questions were put to Senators Ship stead and John son, the Farmer-Laborite from Minnesota, two years ago. The communications were signed by Senator Watson (R.) of Indiana, chairman of the Republican com mittee. None of the insurgents has as yet replied to the Inquiry. Procedure to Be Followed. The insurgents, meanwhile, con sidered filing a suit in the District of Columbia Supreme Court, asking a restraining order against the Re publican majority. If such a suit is filed, the insurgents will charge the Republican majority is depriv ing them of their rightful emolu ments of office without due process of law or without authority by law. The emoluments lost by the in surgents, if permanently ousted, would be political prestige and the right to succeed to chairmanships of important Senate committees. The Insurgents would back up such a suit by citing their certi ficates of election and copies of the official ballots by which they were elected. In each instance, the In surgent was the regular Republican nominee for Senator and the ballot was officially certified by the com monwealth’s Secretary of State. With these documents to prove their right to be designated as Repub licans, the Insurgents would then charge the majority was unseating them without specific charges and in violation of the Senate’s rules. lip To La Follette. Filing of the suit, it was said, will depend upon the attitude taken by Senator La Follette. To date, he has shown complete indifference to the Republican ouster order al though he will be deprived in the next Congress of his right to suc ceed to the chairmanship of the powerful Interstate Commerce Com mittee. It was said, too, that La Follette had advised his followers against any overt opposition to the majority’s will but rather to delay their, battle until the Republican majority sought to confirm the ouster order by a vote of the Senate.

CHIROPRACTORS APPEALFOR RELEASE 4 Seek Habeas Corpus Writ to Secure Freedom From Smallpox Hospital Doctor Alonzo Bradley Chatfield, Hattie Catherine Chatfield, Doctcy- Blanche De Wolfe, and Doctdr Harry H. Casper, who, on February 20, weer taken from the building of the Chiropractic Research Uni vrsity at 1349 L street northwest to the detention hospital and were arrested and detained by reason of an alleged smallpox case being in the same building where petitioners were students, today applied in the District Supreme Court for a writ of habeas corpus, releasing them from custody, claiming that their imprisonment and detention is illegal. Petitioners declare that they are in perfect bodily health and that if they had been Infected with the disease symptoms would have de veloped. They relate the case to the court by stating that Mrs. Har riet fitackhouse, eighty-one years old, was taken from her apartment in the same building at 1349 L street northwest, on February 18 as an alleged smallpox patient. She had been ill for more than a month and was confined to her bed. An eruption had developed on her face, neck and body which the pa tient said was erysipelas, which she had had many times before. Mrs. Stackhouse claimed that when she was twenty-eight years old she was vaccinated and that the erup tion on her face and body was due to the poison left in her body at time she was vaccinated. Doctor M. A. English, who was called in to attend Mrs. Stack house, according to petitioners stated that she was suffering from nervous ex haustion, and that the eruptions consisted of nothing but "macules, papules and pustules some encrust ed and umbllcated-” Doctor Eng lish said that the age and history of her case were “decidedly against smallpox.” Petitioners assert that (Continued on Page 2, Column 2.) Coolidge Is Perplexed on Congress Pay By GEORGE R. HOLMES. President Coolidge is “extremely embarrassed” over the problem dumped on his doorstep by the lame-duck Sixty eighth Congress in voting Congressional salaries up to SIO,OOO a year, it was said today by his advisers. Few decisions that Mr. Coolidge has faced have so perplexed him, they said, as that of vetoing or approving the pay raise. So uncertain does Congress itself view the matter that the betting was even money around the Capitol today on the President’s action. The embarrassment that Mr. Cool-' idge naturally feels tn interfering in a matter he considers so peculiarly one for Congressional determination has been heightened in the past few days by an avalanche of mall that has been pouring into the Executive offices from “the folks back home.” The great majority of these com munications urge the President to veto the raises. Veto in Line With Economy. From the standpoint of his economy program, the President is inclined to agree with his un official correspondents. The salaries voted by Congress increase the Fed eral budget by $1,340,000 a year— at a time when the White House zeal for economy has moved it to the length of even abolishing paper drinking cups around the executive offices. On the other hand the President Is said to keenly sympathize with the plight of many members of Congress who are not rich and who find it extremely difficult to main tain an official position in the Cap tal on $7,500 a year. Faced Same Issue Before. This is not the first time Mr. Coolidge has faced the same issue. As governor of Massachusetts he was presented with a bill increas ing the salaries of members of the legislature from SI,OOO to $1,500 a year. As governor, hja. promptly vetoed that salary bill, and in a message explaining his action said: “It is necessary to decide whether the commonwealth can well afford this additional tax, and whether any public benefit will accrue from it. These are times that require care ful scrutiny of public expenditures. The burden of taxes resulting from the war is heavy. The additional $142,000 to the expense of the com- I HO ME EDITION monwealth In perpetuity Is not to be entertained except upon proven n&ccsslty. 9 Whether there is "proven neces sity” in the case of Congressmen is a matter the President probably will decide within the next forty eight hours MRS. TARTOUE ARRESTED ON $65 HOTEL JUDGMENT NEW YORK. Feb. 26. Mrs. Claudia Windsor Tartoue,- whose husband, Pierre Tartoue, portrait painter, is suing for divorce, was arrested in her room at the Wal dorf by Deputy Sheriff Goldstein, on a judgment for $65 obtained against her in 1923 by the Great Northern Hotel Company. Mrs. Tartone pleaded with Deputy Goldstein that she was ill and the official made the arrest as easy as possible for her by hiring a taxi cab to take his prisoner to the sheriff’s office. Taken before Chief Justice Schmuck, Mrs. Tartone was released on her promise to liquidate the indebtedness to the Great Northern before March 7.

In one of these rooms, darkened against the sunlight, the President and his Cabinet sat by the flower banked casket. t Personal friends of the McCor-. mick family occupied another room. The Senator’s widow, who arrived from Chicago early today, remained near the coffin, heavily veiled. The Reverend J. J. Muir, chap lain of the Senate, rose from his chair in the hall, where the Sen ators sat, along the wall, and of fered a prayer. He then introduced Senator Reed. Endured Calumny of Foes. The speaker’s laudation of Sen ator McCormick’s opposition to the league was approached cautiously, and with repeated assertions that the remarks were not to be :e --garded in a controversial light. He referred to the courage of "the soldier on the bloodless field of thought, who endures the calumny of enemies, the criticism of friends and the scorn of the multitudes, that he may serve his country." He pictured this soldier as "crushed by the grim thought that his friends believe he has betrayed the country that he loves.” "I know that this man, who now lies here voiceless, had his mettle tried," said Senator Reed, and he told of the introduction of the League of Nations to the United States— of its welcome by a people who did not yet know its inner significance. While the public, including many of Senator McCormick’s friends, were still praising the league, he, said Reed, stood against it. Loss To the Country. “He had the courage to stand in the breach and assert that a mistake had been made,’’ Senator Reed continued. “For the country that has losr his service,” concluded the speak er, "we may have a deep and pro found regret.” Senator Pepper, who followed, de livered an oration which mostly concerned itself with the personal attributes of Medill McCormick.

"It is easy to keep MediU McCor mick In our minds and hearts," Senator Pepper declared, "because his was a character that compelled love."

Victim of Heart Disease, Messages of condolence are be Ing received in large numbers at the McCormick home in Chicago, according to word received here. One of the first to arrive was an expression of sympathy from the President and Mrs. Coolidge. Myocarditis, with acute cardiac dilation—heart trouble— was named by Coroner J. Ramsay Nevltt as the cause of death. Shortly after examining the body yesterday, the coroner permitted Joseph Gawler’s Sens, undertakers, to take charge of it. The preliminary report that death was due to a gastric hem orrhage arose from the fact that Senator McCormick had probably been seized with vertigo and had fallen, cutting his chin, which bled. The Senator then, apparent ly, lay upon his head, his hands clasped over his mouth. In this attitude, he died.

SJFE FBOM MHITTKK (Continued from First Page.) destroy a battleship?" asked Con gressman Prall (Dem.) of New York. “If it were not an armor-piercing shell I think its effect would be local,” replied Jones. "It might do some deetruction to exposed per sonnel. and might have a serious effect on local fire control installa tion. But I do not think it would have a serious effect on the motive power, the turrets, or the personnel in enclosed places." If the bombs were dropped alongside, within ten feet of the ship, "the effect probably would be very serious," Jones said. "Were air bombs dropped during the recent teste on the battleship Washington,” inquired PraU. Just Testing Armor. e “Yes,” answered Jones, "two non explosive 1,400-pound armor-piercing bombs. Only one hit the deck and it did not go through. The object was to test the resistive qualities oi the deck protection. It was not tv give aircraft a chance to destroy a battleship.” “Then there can be no criticism of aircraft during that test?” "No, not at all," Jones snapped. Mitchell previously had told committee that the Washington test was worthless because only sand filled bombs were used. “Don’t you think you might have derived some benefit by sinking the Washington with bombs from the air," asked Congressman Perkins (Rep.) of New Jersey. "I don’t think so. We learned al! about bombing from the tests on the German ships in 1921,* Jones replied. Resents Imputations. _ "Let me say here that certain people have repeatedly in the press impugned the honor of the navy of ficers who conducted the tests on the German ship. This has been done time and time again -and it is unfair. Why, heavens, If anyone knows whether aircraft can put a battleship out of commission, the navy would want to know, for our very existence would depend upon it. We are of the opinion that 3,000,000, Jones replied. "Do you think the navy could get along on 120,000,000 for avia tion?” asked Perkins. “Os course, and I think we can get along with aviation very well as we are now." “Was the board’s air recom mendation cut down in the Navy Department before it got to the budget? Who was responsible, the Navy Department or the Budget Bureau?” asked Prall. “I don’t know what recommenda tion was sent over by the navy to the budget.” Pressed closely for a more definite reply, Jones, after consult ing with aides, declared the board's recommendation was sent to the budget “practically as it came from th® board.” Twice Revises Figures. After further consultation, Jones later corrected his previous figures and declared that the original es timate for aviation was $32,000,000, which was cut by the budget bu reau of the navy department to $19,000,000, which was allowed by the budget director. It was then developed that the whole navy estimate was cut $43,- 000,000. "That means, then,” interjected Prall, "that aviation was cut one third of the whole estimate. And this action seems to show to me that the navy doesn't think much of avia tion. In the first place, aviation was allowed only one-tenth of the whole estimate." "I don'V think so,” interposed Jones. "I am quite sure that in event of an emergency the navy could turn out a quantity produc tion of first-class fighting airplanes.” "Let's go back to the appropria tion,” said Prall. "Wasn’t the navy’s budget estimate for aviation cut by $3,000,000 more after it left the Navy Department? Didn’t the President cut off $3,000,000?" Cruiser Estimate Cut. Jones suggested that the navy's budget officer be called to explain the appropriation figures, "Was anything esle cut In the same prtxportion as aviation?” pressed Prall. “Yes,” replied Jones; "our esti mates for cruisers were practically wiped out.” "Well, It still seems to me that to take one-third f from aviation, which was allowed only one-tenth of the navy’s total, was abnormal," said Prall. “Was it possible that too much was asked for aviation In the first place?” "V/e didn’t thinw so.” returned Jones. "We studied the question and thought the navy aviation i should have $12,000,000,” IETEMIIS PUT BITTHROUGH SPITE Hearst Newspapers Have Evidence Men Were “Rail roaded” Out of Hospital Documentary proof that three disabled world war veterans were "railroaded” out of the Federal Rehabilitation Hospital at Perry ville for departmental motives of petty spite and malice, is in the possession of the* Hearst newspa pers of Baltimore and Washington.

RUM RUNNERS HAVE “CLEANED UP” BILLION DOLLARS IN PROFIT 350 SHIPS rat in TRUDE Landed Six Million Cases Last Year—lncreased “Navy” to Cut Traffic By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH. (Copyright, 1925, by Internation*! Newi Service.) The organized rum-running busi ness has reached the billion dollar dess. Profits accruing to rum-runners in the last five years now exceed $1,000,000,000, according to figures obtained from various official sources by International News Service today. Last year's smuggling, which is officially estimated to have ex ceeded 6,000,000 cases of liquor, netted foreign shipowners and American dealers fully $300,000,000 gain, according to these estimates. Reduction is Expected. Officials asserted that illegal land* t Ing of foreign intoxicants reached its maximum in 1924 and that a material reduction is anticipated this ytar with the increased facilities of the coast guard in operation against rum row. A large portion of the 150,000 I cases of liquor seized by the coast guard in 1924 came during the clos ing months of the year when the anti-rum fleet had been augmented by recently constructed craft. In addition to the liquor seized, it Was estimated that $1,000,000 worth .of wet goods was thrown overboard .by rum runners to avoid prosecu tion. Oyster fisherman report that a .vast store of liquid wealth is to be found on the ocean bottom off the Atlantic seaboard—so great it would make Captain Kidd’s gold insignifi cant in comparison. Big Ships Engaged. According to Department of jus tice records about SSO vessels, many of them large steamers, regularly ply in the liquor trade between Eu -VOpe and the United .States. r. These ships have an average ca* pacity of 4,000 cases and make from three to five trips annually, account ing for from s.oeo-000 tAr.OOO,OOO cases reaching .the shores of the United States. Officials declared that the big rum runners anchor about thirty miles off the coast and sell liquor “over the side" for S2O per dase, l« more than it_cost in Europe.

John Succeeds to Office His Father and Grandfather Formerly Held By MICHAEL F. DACEY International News Service. DENVER, Feb. 2s.—The "Evans tradition" became more prominent at Denver University when John Evans, third In direct line of fam ily descent to hold the office, was elected president of the board of trustees of that Institution. John Evans succeeds his father, the late William G. Evans,, as head of the trustees, and William G. Evans succeeded his father, John Evans, in the position. The latter John Evans was one of the founders of the university and the first president of the board of trustees. He was a territorial governor before the Centennial State was admitted to the union. “The election of John Evans to the post so well administered by his father and his grandfather is more than the carrying on of a fine tradition,” said an announce ment accompanying Evan’s elec tion. "The task faced by the nevy president in many ways Is a greater one than the tasks accomplished by the members of the Evans family who have preceded him." Evans’ grandfather, also John Evans, founded the University of Colorado, then known as Colorado Seminary, in 1864. In the past sixty years it has grown from a small seminary to a university with an enrollment this year in ex cess of 3,000 students. The original John Evans was also known as the “Father of Northwestern, having been a fac tor in the organization of that col lege in Evanstown, 111., which city was named after Evans. “The election of John Evans as president of our board of trustees marks the beginning of a new era in the history of Denver Uni versity,” declared Heber R. Harper, chancellor of the institution. “Mr. Evans has a wide acquaintance with men of affairs, a high degree of business acumen, a wealth of executive experience, and he will be invaluable for the wise conser vation and development of the university’s resources.” I I Live Better Go See <Biirieith At 36th and R Streets N.

WARRANT 0 01 FOR ARREST OF DORM Noted Sculptor Accused of Destroying Memorial Mod els When Ousted By International New* Service ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 26. Models for carving the gigantic memorial to the Confederacy on the face of Stone Mountain, near here, and all studio data which had been compiled after months of toil, today lay in debris, wrecked, according to charges contained in warrants, by Gutzon Borglum, who yesterday was sum marily discharged as sculptor for the memorial association. The clay model of the head of General Robert E. Lee, who led the Confederate forces in the war between the States, was smashed, but his head already has been carved into the design. Warrants Sworn Out. Warrant* today were in the hands of deKalb county authorities for the arest of Borglum and his su perintendent, Captain Jesse C. Tucker, both of whom are charged with malicious destruction of prop erty. Early today neither had been lo cated. In addition to the warrants, a suit seeking to recover $50,000 from the sculptor today was on file in Dekalb county superior court. That, it was said, was the value of the property destroyed. Discovery that the models and data had been smashed was made when officers arrived at the moun tain studio to serve Borglum with an injunction forbidding him to en ter upon the property of the Memorial Association, described as the monumental carving and the studio. Mrs. Borglum’* Statement. Late last night Mrs. Borglum, wife of the artist, Issued a state ment declaring her husband owned the models and data, had copy righted them, and unquestionably had the right to destroy them if he chose.

EDWINGDID IS SURPRISED BL CHILDREN Florida Tots Repay Donor for Gifts to School—Philan thropist Visits Kiddies By International Now* Service. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Feb. 26. —School children peddled fudge and peanut candy on the streets here so that they could give Edwin Gould, New York millionaire and philanthropist, a birthday party. It was Edwin Gould who equipped their school playground with all sorts of athletic apparatus and made It possible for them to enjoy their recess periods. He donated several thousand dollars for the purchase of this equipment when he was here last winter. Realizing that the philanthropist had a birthday this month, the children of the Central Primary School decided to give him a sur prise party in his far-away North ern home at Ardsley-on-theHudson, New York. They sent him a box of choice tropical fruits and a series of pictures showing the playground full of activity. But Gould gave the children a greater surprise. He came to his winter home here unannounced. The children then hastily prepared to give him a real birthday party. They made candy at home and peddled it so that they could col lect enough pennies to buy the scon mioHCE (USE lESIIIIEO HEBE Both Factions Take Deposi tions from Important Witnesses By GEORGE E. DURNO. Lacking only the presence of a judge, the sensational divorce suit brought by Congressman Frank D. Scott (Rep.) of Michigan against Mrs. Edna Scott resumed sessions here today. Although pie case, being heard at Alpena, Mich., does not actually re sume until March 10, the taking of depositions in Washington, by both sides, has assumed such proportions, as to approximate the court room scene. Principals and opposing counsel came face to face at the opening hearing for the first time since the Alpena court recessed in December. The taking of testimony was feat ured by acrimonious clashes be tween counsel which started, when Scott’s attorney refused to shake hands with his opponent. The first witness heard, called In behalf of Mrs. Scott, was the head waiter aboard the Army Transport Cristobal in 1921, at the time the now-famous Congressional junket went to Panama. This witness was interrogated and cross examined relative to the prevalence of intoxicating liquors aboard tho Cristobal on her return trip, as testified to earlier by Mrs. Scott. Furniture Figures in Case. Also, two officials of— a local storage company, called by Mrs. Scott, gave depositions relative to furniture owned by the Scotts, which had been stored in their warehouse. The furniture lias figured prominently in the trial, Mrs. Scott having claimed her husband gave it to another Con gressman in payment of gambling debts. Depositions yet to be taken to day are from witnesses called by Congressman Scott. Foremost In importance are the wife of a Con gressman who was on the Panama junket and who has figured prom inently in the sidelights of the case, and a house detective at a local hotel where Mrs. Scott lived for a while following separation from her husband. Throughout the day’s proceedings, Mr. and Mrs. Scott faced each other across the reporter’s table. They did not speak. The work of taking depositions probably will consume at least a week. Both sides have a number of witnesses to call. TUGS SPEED TO RESCUE OF ASIATIC FLAGSHIP MANILA, Feb. 26.—-With three navy tugs speeding from Manila to her assistance and with a smooth sea reported in her neighborhood, the U. S. S. Huron, flagship of the Asiatic fleet, which went aground yesterday off Palawan island, 200 miles southeast of Manila, was ex pected to be pulled into deep water today, according to wireless reports from Captain V.

The thirty eighth destroyed divis ion was scheduled to leave here to day for Java, to which destination the Huron is also headed. fruit, flowers and cake for the birthday festivities.

X'-w lira SHOALS BILL KILLED 81 FOES I Filibuster, Organized for 90 Hours’ Talk, Defeats Under wood Measure The death of all Muscle Shoals legislation in the Sixty-eighth Congress was conceded today by Administration leaden. They decided to abandon the Underwood bill learning that the bill’s opponents have thor oughly organized a filibuster ’to block all further action in the Senate. Fourteen Senators are said to have pledged themselves to each talk five hours, if necessary, mak ing ninety houn of consecutive talk, which, coupled with the roll calls, would literally "talk” the Underwood bill to death. Still In Conference With the Underwood bill literally abandoned, Administration leader* called up the McFadden banking bill in the Senate. They hoped to enact thtt measure before nightfall and then to turn their attention to the passage of farm relief leglMatlon. With this program in mind, they announced privately that the Underwood bill would be ignored. The Shoals bill was still under consideration today by Senate and House conferees, who sought to adjust the sections which the Sen ate voted were “out of order” and a violation of Congressional rules. If possible, the Senate conferee#— headed by Senator Keyes (Rep.) of New Hampshire—planned to report the bill back to the Senate before nightfall- As it is a privileged mat ter, it can be called up for debate at once. Ready to Filibuster This action, however, would re lease the filibuster organized by the bill’s opponents. It was their plan to begin the "five-hour” speeches at once and continue them by relays until Satur day midnight, when recess undoubt edly would be taken until Monday morning. With the Senate reconvened, the speeches would be resumed and with the aid of roll-calls would con tinue up until noon, March 4. As two appropriation bills, farm relief legislation and hundreds of minor "personal” bills remain on the Senate calendar, It was con ceded today that the filibuster would create such a legislative jam as to force abandonment of the Underwood bill to save the remain ing hours of the dying Congress for legislation which can bo enacted. With Administration support lost, the Underwood bill would have but a handful of Southern Senators supporting it. It was reported this handful would make a gesture toward forc ing a final vote on the bill, and then join tho movement to lay it aside until tho next session of Con- PEILIWrSONS’ WIDOWS GET fODTUNE Settlement of Their Suit Is Made Out of Court CHICAGO, Feb. 26.—Two daugh ters-ln-law of Mrs. George M.

This commission was appointed by the Secretary of Labor in January, 1924, to investigate industrial and economic conditions in the vtegin Islands, whose population is 95 per cent negro. The American Bar Association has several times extended an in vitation to Woodson to present his aplllcation for membership in that organization- Woodson has never done so because he is opposed to arousing the question of race need lessly. Many Delegates. Woodson said that all of the States from which he has had re plies will send delegates to the tional convention here and probably lawyers not yet heard from will come here to be included as charter members. Os these a few will be women lawyers. The largest delegations will be from New York and Chicago, and it is hoped some delegates will come from the insular possessions.

Mrs. Sanders Will Please. z Mrs. Sanders, wife of the Secre tary to the President, is young enough to get a lot of “kick” out of being so closely associated with the social life of the White House. Her genial personality:—typical of the Middle West—will be of value In her new role, just as it has been in her role as the wife of a Con gressman. Both Mr. and Mrs. Sanders are natives of Vigo county, Ind., and both were born of fanner parentage. Before her marriage Mrs. Sanders was Miss Ella Neal, and it was at the State Normal School that she first became interested in Everett Sanders, the son of a neighbor, and with whose younger brothers and sister* she had long been on friend ly terms. Mrs. Sanders’ mother still lives' in the old farm home in Vigo county. Mr. and Mrs. Sanders were grad uated the same year and both taught in the Normal Schpol for the few years that followed before Mr. San ders determined to have a career in law or politics, or both. They were married and then Mr. Sanders en tered the University of Indiana. With the aid of his wife he finished the course and took his degree in three years instead of the customary four. While at the university, Mrs. Sanders —true to the Hoosier tradi tion —began to prepare for a literary career by taking courses in English literature and composition. Her practical application of the knowl edge. which she thus gained of w’riting, has been confined to articles to the papers “back home,” dealing with life in the Capitol, where her husband has served four terms in Congress.

CRIMINAL MAY BECUREDBY BABY Pastor’s Son Says Desire to Take Things Has Been i Wiped Out By THOMAS HORGAN. International News Service. BOSTON, Feb. 26. Behind the Iron-barred windows of the State .prison at Charlestown stands Al bert L. M. Gross? a clerygman s son “gone wrong,” and one of the Strangest human complexes of the time. He ffibst serve twelve years. Stirred into “deviltry,” he says, by the Puritanical "don’t-do-thls” and “don’t-do-that” of his fathe”. Gross left college without the power to resist the temptation of stealing whatever he came across, he declares. But marriage brought a blue-eyed baby boy into his life and alienists say that the kleptomania cell in his brain has ceased to function. Gross wants to "go straight” because of his own son. "When I get out of jail I’m going to bring the boy up as a pal," says the young father. His Own Story. Here is Gross’ own story: “Father is a minister in South Barre. He is as good a man aj God ever made but his ideas were Puritanical. I was brought up ac cording to Hoyle. It was- ‘don t do this’ and ‘don’t do that.’ Don’t go to dance halls. Don’t go to poo; rooms. “But never a word why I wasn’t to go to such places. “I was sent to Brown University at Providence, •R. I. Away from home the devil in me got the upper hand. I used to Xake things for the fun of it. “Os course, I got caught. Ifs the law of averages, I landed in the State penitentiary in Louisiana. I was serving time when a flood hit the place.

While I was away the baby was born. “Gosh, I loved the kiddie. I thought of it morning, noon, and night. I was out of work and my wife was just out of the hospital. While I wanted to give up the life I hag led, I had to have money, so I went into a jewelry store In Los Angeles. I talked with the man behind the counter a while. The opportunity to take some gems came—a better opportunity than 1 had in Worcester. It was strange, but I found I was unable to make a move. Tried Third Time. “1 tried for a third time, know ing that I would pull off this job if I never did anything else. But I found my desire to take things utterly wiped out. I can’t ex plain it. “I thought I ’would go into a pawn shop. I had as gun and I knew I could raise S2O on it. Two detectives were outside the store and they arrested me. “My wife came downtown and I told her about the Worcester job. She agreed with me that I should get. everything cleaned up. I had made up my mind to go straight. It is still my purpose. “My son is going to be a ‘pal’ with me. I will hand him the ‘don’t,’ but I’m going to explain the ‘why’ every time. So that's that.” Is He Cured? Doctor Norman A. Johnson, alienist, superintendent of the hos pital for mental diseases at Provi dence, who examined young Gross in his college days and again when he wan brought back from Los Angeles for Che Worcester ’gem robbery, said: “Crudely speaking, Gross had jacked a balance wheel.

Even Staid Supreme Court Seems Puzzled by Typo graphical Error T By AMY BYRAM, International News berviee. DES MOINES, lowa, Feb. 26. “Jokers” lurking in language “in tended to conceal thought” have been found in the new lowa statu tory code, and are being corrected by tbq legislature now in session, but it has remained for a simple typographical error to convulse the august members of the State su preme court. A young pleader at the bar had occasion to refer to the amendment to the Federal Constitution relat ing to naturalization of aliens. He read: “No woman whose husband is not eligible to citizenship shall be naturalized during the continu ance of the martial status.” A voice from above suggested tq the legal tyro he repeat the quota tion. He did so, and assured the court s in a tremulous tone the reading was correct. The chief justice, of no mean reputation as a wag, put on the extreme judicial air, fumbled for his reading glasses, glowered at the printed page, and found it so written. “The court has always assumed Eros to ba the god in the nuptial machine,” said he, “but we appear .to have been in error. The Federal Constitution says it is Mars.” L It is a simple twist of the letters “i” and “t” in the word “marital,” and since the lowa code is re printed only about once In twenty five years, this “joke” promises to attain Joe Miller vintage. 1 SELLS HORESHOE PLANT AS AUTO CUTS DEMAND NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—The popu- I larity of the automobile has driven the United States Steel Corporation 'to quit the manufacture of horse shoes. The American Steel and Wire Company, one of the larger suo sidlary companies of the steel cor poration, has sold the machinery, stock on hand and good will of the old houseshoe department of the company, which manufactured shoes under the trade name of “Juanata,” to the Phoenix Horseshoe Company, of Chicago. Due to the decrease in the demand for horseshoes, this branch of the corporation’s business had dwindled to the point where it caused the consumption of only about 18,000 tons of steel annually. The com pany, therefore, is said to have found it could use the space devoted to making horseshoes to better ad vantage by manufacturing products more generally in demand.

The conductor, looking back at the auto, gave two bells—"go ahead.” “Do anything to that machine?” the motorman yelled back. "Nothin’ much," his colleague shouted to him. “I think we took off a fender.” Pictures of Wind Coincident with the brisk wind this a. m., comes "Protection,” the snappy little monthly of Ralph Lee and Lew Payne, in surance men.

8 U TO INOIGT II bsieh SEIMS Republicans Proceed Against Democratic “Strikers” Who Fled to Ohio INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 26. Republican leaders in the Indiana Senate, where all but one member of the Democratic minority “struck" to prevent action on a "Gerryman der” measure sponsored by the Re publicans, said today the matter would be placed before the Marion country grand jury In an effort to Indict the Senators who fled to Ohio. Six Republican Senators were to appear before the grand jury as witnesses. Since the fleeing Senators have committed no felony, Republican leaders said they doubted if extra dition from Ohio would be asked. Headed by Senator Joseph M. Cteavens, minority floor leader, thirteen solons chartered a bus hero and went to Dayton, Ohio. Throe more Democratic Senators, who were unable to join the fleeing Senators because of illness, were understood to be ready to leave for Dayton. Senator Fred M. Dickerman, of Indianapolis, acting as attorney for the Republican majority, said each of the Democratic senators who fled was liable to a fine of SI,OOO for breaking a quorum and Imped ing the course of the legislature. The measure which caused the minority senators to desert the sen ate chamber would have transferred XAWrence county from the Third to the Second Congressional district, which the Democrats contend would assure the Republicans a majority in the latter district. An ultimatum from the Demo cratic members that they would withdraw from the senate until the measure was withdrawn was de livered shortly before the solons left Indiana. Republican forces now are determined to press the meas ure to passage in view of the course taken by the Democrats, James J. Nejdl, majority floor leader, said. HeW on Bad Check Charge Irving Berliner, alias Harry Gold berg, of evr York, svas arrested I yesterday on the Lee Highway and turned over to the local authori ties to face charges of passing two bad checks, aggregating $75, on Washington Hotels.

STEEL Russell Sage Foundation Finds Corporation Dominates All Industry By International News Service NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—The far-reaching extent to which the labor policy of the United States Steel Corporation determines the wage scale of steel workers throughout the industry and thereby makes difficult the de velopment of the employes’ repre sentation movement, is shown in a report issued today by tne indus trial studies department of the Russell Sage Foundation as the result of a five-year investigation of the industrial representation plan of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, one of the inde pendent steel companies, of which the Rockefeller family is principal owner. Workmen’s Share Small. The report declares that, through the Rockefeller employes’ repre sentation plan, the men in the steel works of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company were able to secure the actual eight-hour day five years before the Steel Corporation and the rest of the industry adopted it, but points out that, because this company feels impelled to fol low the wage scale of its competi tors, chief among whom is the Steel Corporation, its workmen have no real share in the determination of their wages. This, the report says, limits seriously the scope of the employes’ representation plan, which, tn other respects, has ac complished much good. “In an industry so devoid of any tradition concerning representation of the workers as the steel Industry is,” declared Mary Van Kleeck. director of the Foundation's De partment of Industrial Studies, “the industrial representation plan of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com pany marks a distinct step in ad vance; for under the plan the men in the steel works of this company secured such important gains as the actual eight-hour day, an op portunity to participate in revising wage scales, a method of present ing and discussing grievances and a greater degree of security in their jobs through the right to ap peal to higher officials against the decisions of foremen and superin tendents. Dissatisfaction Certain. "When one looks at these accom plishments and then considers the methods of the United States Steel Corporation, one must conclude that at least in one small segment of the industry the wage-earners have been given a voice In determining the conditions under whicU they THE WASHINGTON TIMES The National Daily THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1925.

Nevertheless, until the men throughout the industry as a whole secure adequate and effec tive representation in determining wage standards, those employed in any one plant such as the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company’s steel works, are bound to be dissatisfied. "Every week the steel workers in this company are reminded by their pay envelopes that the scope of their representation does not give them an effective share in de termining their own earnings.” The lack of this representation in the determination of wage scales, according to the report, was one of the principal reasons why the steel workers of this company walked out practically in a body when the national steel strike of 1919 was called, notwithstanding the fact that they had already en* joyed the eight-hour day, as well as several other conditions which the men in the rest of the industry so badly wanted. Ben M. Selekman, who conducted the Investigation for the Founda tion and prepared the report, found that, in the opinion of the work men, the most serious obstacle to the success of the plan is the minor local official, not the higher official. As long as the functions of “hiring and firing” are in the hands of superintendents and fore men, Mr. Selekman says, dissatis faction will exist among the em ployes. Workmen repeatedly ac cused foremen of favoritism at)d of being arbitrary. The fact that the company did not promote em ployes according to seniority was another common and deeply felt grievance, which, though not al ways reported to the company, wad responsible for much dissatisfac tion. “The best hand-shaker gets the job,” was the saying among the men. Although the plan pro vides for the reporting and adjust ing of grievances, Mr. Selekman found the men were reluctant to make complaints, because it meant antagonizing officials under whom they bad to do their dally work. Have Grievances. “These grievances,” says the re port, "point to the fundamental need of a personnel department, with a specially trained staff, to deal with the problems of human relations and to leave the superin tendents free for the tasks for which they are primarily fitted— those of directing production.” “SUICIDE NOTE” DENIED BY BURLEIGH’S BROTHER HOULTON, Me., Feb. 26.—Ralph Burleigh, brother of Lieutenant Albert P. Burleigh, U. S. N., who was found in his cabin aboard a naval transport at Vallejo, Cal., with a bullet hole in his head, to day denied he received a "suicide note” from the young naval lieu tenant. “The last letter from my brother was cheerful and made no men tion of any trouble,” said Burleigh. "The reports that the Navy De partment had asked me not to talk are not true. I did not know until after my brother’s death that his friend, Lieutenant Frank E. Ken nedy, was in trouble. I heard the reports that my brother wanted to defend Lieutenant Kennedy but that is all I know. I still think that my brother’s death wu Ute result of an accident.” MINERS AND ENGINEERS TO SETTLE WAGE DISPUTE The dispute 'between the United Mine Workers and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers resulting from the failure of the Coal River Collieries Company, operating coal mines in West Virginia for the engineer organization, to the union scale of wages to its* miners, will be considered at a meeting in Charleston, W: Va., the American Federation of Labor announced today.

Pa., Feb. 2C.— The peach crop of Pennsylvania will amount to very little in 1925, particularly in Columbia and near by counties, a statement of the farm bureau here said, while ex perts attending the county farm products show said the condition was general throughout the State The reason is the extreme cold weather of the past winter, which froze the buds on the trees during the dormant period. The buds, dur ing the dormant period, can endure a temperature of from 6 to 10 de- grees below wro without damage, but weather much colder than that was experienced on a number of mornings.

'VICTOR'S LITE :l MEASE' IS 1 i FEAST Chaliapin in “Boris,” “Fire Music” of Strawinsky, and Dance Hits j The “big” Victor release of records j*. comes this week and are on sate be s ginning tomorrow. This week they e bring many concert sensations of the hour, and all the latest dance hits as well. The Philadelphia Orchestra has re corded Strawinsky’s suite from his famous "Fire Ballet.” This least conventional of “ultra” modern com posers here sets forth more dances, as barbaric and weird as any tale form an Arabian Nights. Chaliapin’s la-est Victor records are more than splendid singing. They are examples of his powerful musico dramatlc presentations of human character. Hi§ great "Boris” is given in two records of special in terest to Washington because of his recent appearance here. The great basso sings the "Plmenn’s Mono logue,” the retrospective musings of the old monk and Boris’ own mono logue "I have attained the power” with its memory-torn terror of the future. More Great Stan. Galli-Curcl and the .bewitching "Coppolia Waltz” of Delibes and the delicate "bolero” rhythm in an elu sive singing of Pierne’s “Serenade” are two features ’from this famous coloratura voice. Heifetz is playing the huge techni cal "Jlebrew Dance” of Achron and a Sarasate "Habanera” that again makes one marvel at the easy tri umphant of his skill. The brilliant Brazilian woman planjst, whom Washington does not know, is represented in the Victor records by Liszt’s' "Dance of the Gnomes” and MacDowell’s "Witch es’ Dance.” They are two monu mental recordings of interesting contrast.
