J I" H. RIDER HAGGARD. Writer of fantastic and bizarre, historical tales, chiefly “Allan Quartermain” and "She,” passed away at his English home today. He had penned some sixty suc cessful books, and all of his work won great favor both in Britain and the United States. BIDEM), NOTED WRITER, IS DEAD Was Active in Political World As Well As Being Prolific Author LONDON, May 14.—Sir Henry Rider Haggard, the author, died here today. He was sixty-nine years old. He began his political career in 1875 as secretary to Sir Henry Bulwer, governor of Natal. He served on a great many government commis sions, among which were the com mission to the Transvaal in 1877; government special commission to report on Salvation Army settle ments, U. S. A., in 1907; and the reclamation and unemployed labor committee of the royal commission on coast erosion and afforestation, 1906-1911. Rider Haggard also traveled around the world as a member of the dominions royal commission, from 1912 to 1917. Rider Haggard was the author of more than sixty books, most of them novels of adventure, with a few texts of a socological nature. “King’s Solomon’s Mines,” pub lished in 1885, was the most famous of his works, though he was noted also as the author of “She,” “The World’s Desire.” “The People of the Mist.” “The Witch’s Head," “The Way of the Spirit,” and “The Ghost of Kings.” His first book was published in 1882 and his period of active writ ing extended over more than two score years, his novel. “The Mon ster,” being published last yeir. In this time, he was amazingly productive, publishing as many as three novels a year, in addition to his activities for the empire.

THORNBURGH, International Newn Service. NEW YORK, May 14.—1 f pro hibition and liquor smuggling laws are to be enforced to the letter in the United States, the Sixty-Ninth Congress must appro priate over $200,000,000 for the job. That is one of the concrete con clusions of both official and un official observers of the Govern ment’s gigantic drive to extermi nate rum row, International News Service learned today. This year’s cost of enforcement of prohibition laws and operating the coast guard was approximate ly $40,000,000 and it is highly un likely that Congress will exceed that figure materially in the next budget regardless of what experts believe is necessary. Need 10,000 Men in “Navy.” A survey of the rum situation disclosed that to afford air tight protection to the coasts, the Gov ernment must maintain a fleet of close to 100 sea-going cutters, 200 heavily armed patrol boats and a complement of smaller craft. It would take 7,000 to 10,000 men to man this “navy.” “Even that tremendous force would not be an absolute guarantee that no liquor would come in,’’ a high official said, “but it is the minimum force required to do the work right.” To create a prohibition navy of this proportion would mean an ini tial outlay of $’’50,000,000. It would cost $30,000,000 to $40,000,000 an nually for operation. In addition, at least $10,000,000 is needed for land enforcement. Most Boats Old Ones. The coast guard now has about sixteen cutters. All but four are over thirty years old and soon will be ready for the junk heap, accord ing to the information received here. Os the new ones, the Mojave is flagship of the prohibition navy and the others on special duty. These facts will be brought out before Congressional committees when the real story of the rum war is disclosed in the appropriations fight, it was declared. The tentative coast guard appro priation for 1926 is approximately $20,000,000, $8,000,000 less than in 1925. Ten million dollars is contem plated for land enforcement. Adequate enforcement of the smuggling laws would require one cruising cutter and two patrol boats for every 100 miles of coast line, according to experts. The coast line, not including bays and Inlets, is approximately 10,000 miles, although this mileage is increased to 15,000 if all inlets are included. War an Experiment. The Government’s naval warfare against rum runners is more or less an experiment to determine just how much can be accomplished with the equipment at hand and how much money would be required for absolute enforcement. General L. C- Andrews, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, and gen eralissimo of prohibition, want* to know just what men and equipment he would need to really dry up the

May 14. —More than 4,000 enlistments of United States coast guard men will expire on July 1, It was announced here today. At least two-thirds of these will not re-enlist, putting a big hole in the coast guard anti rum organization, officials said. A new campaign to obtain men will be instituted at once. A large supply of “golden bond” and other fine wines and liquors, part of the stock of Sir Broderick Hartwell, the British nobleman said to have lost a fortune in liquor smuggling, is stowed here, await ing order of the courts. A number of seized rum ships are also at New London awaiting court disposition. Coast guard officials disclosed that by an intensive campaign against rum runners during the summer they hope to break up the smugglers shore organization, driving those who have been de pending on the illicit liquor traffic for the livelihood, to other occupa tions. If a temporary but intensive campaign can accomplish this re- suit, coast guard officials asserted that later, when the winter let up of the drive comes, the smugglers will have great difficulty in re- assembling their organizations. An occasional smash at thte rum fleets, first on one front and then i on the other, will have the effect of keeping the smugglers in a con- stant state of confusion, according to Commander Stephen Yandle, aide to Admiral F. C. Billard, com- mandant of the coast guard.

Efforts will be made this summer to abandon the semi-annual ratings, Mr. Bailey said, and to take an an nual rating on May r 5. with special Individual ratings during the year In cases where employes are trans ferred or admitted to the service. Too Many Ratings "There is a widespread opinion that two ratings a year are not necessary.” Mr. Bailey said. “It is felt that one rating a year will be sufficient far all practical pur poses and that the extra Noyember rating now taken is merely a waste of money and effort, in addition to its effect In disturbing the routine work of departments and individual employes. It Is proposed to allow Federal employes 1 per cent credit for each year of service, to be added to the efficiency ratings. Thus an em ploye with twenty-five years of service to his credit, who had an efficiency rating of 75 per cent, would be given a “separation” rat ing of 100 per cent. In cases where the separation ratings of employes doing the same type of work were equal and it became necessary to discharge one of them because of reduction of the force, an allowance would be made for dependents and the man with a family to support would be retained rather than the single man. under the plan now being considered by department heads.

DETROIT, Mich., May 14. Operation of a merchant fleetj under the direction of Henry Ford was in prospect today, with the announcement that the automo bile manufacturer was considering the purchase the four hundred steel vessels from the United States Shipping Board. First inkling of the automobile manufacturer’s plan came when T. V. O’Connor’ of Buffalo, chair man of the Shipping Board, an nounced after a two-day con ference that Ford might make such a purchase. Wants Only Big Ships. “Most .of the shipping board ves sels are pretty small for our pur poses,” said Ford, in discussing the report. “We might buy them if the price were right, but it is only those of around 12,000 tons that would be suitable for our use. The others would have to he scrapped. “What we need is ships about the tonnage of the East Indian, which we bought from the Ship ping Board to be reconditioned for export trade to Denmark. The East Indian runs around Tt.ooo tons. •'The Onondaga and the Oneida, which were put into the South American and coast-wise service last summer, were also Shipping Board ships. They are much too small for the sort of trade we plan.” Ford said, too, that he would be careful to see that any boats he bought were built right. Many Thrown Together. “We know the Onondaga and the Oneida were right; they were built near home," he said. “But a lot of the shipping board's vessels were thrown together, at a time when everyone was crazy. Some are not strong, and others have engines that are really pretty bad. They were built to meet an emergency need, of course, and ours is not an emergency need.” The question of price still re mains to be settled, of course. There was indication in the tone of O’Connor's remarks that the Government would not split hairs on that point. The Fords said they will pay little more for the vessels than they would pay for -scrap, since much of the fleet would have to be scrapped anyhow, and the remainder reconditioned at great expense. They would not hope to use as carriers all the boats they bought, it was hinted. Use Only a Few. “We could not use more than a few. maybe ten to thirty, if we used any,” said Ford. The purchase would take about one-third the vessels remaining in the Shipping Board fleet. The wood bottoms are already disposed of, O’Connor said. THURSDAY, MAY 14. 1925. D. C.

This was the demand today of the Senate farm bloc while the Department of Agriculture con tinued an investigation of the| sensational raid, which netted its operators millions last March. Government authorities sought to find some ground upon which to prosecute the speculators under I the grain futures act of 1922. Would Stop All Gambling. Farm bloc members heartily endorsed this move but insisted that the administration initiate legislation prohibiting all grain gambling. They urged that this action be taken in the next session of Congress. Western Senators. headed by Norris (Rep.) of Nebraska, and Ladd (Rep.) of N. D., declared the last “clean up” had created an “unendurable situation.” Profits on future trading in grains, they charged, amounted to a robbery of the consuming public. “Worse Than Robbery.” “To gamble in the price of food la worse than robbery,” said Sen ator Norris, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee. “Thousands of people starve because of the high price of food, while a handful cf men acquire their ill-gotten gains Congress has tried to prevent this gambling, Governmtnt officials have condemned it and the people protest it. It is time for the Ad ministration to act. “This gambling is done by million aire middlemen. Every dollar they make comes either from the con sumer or the farmer, and usually from both. I am ready to co oj-erate with the Department of Agriculture at any time in enacting a law to prohibit aH gambling tn foodstuffs.” Damage Already Done. “Norris said he thought the Gov ernment might be able to punish grain gamblers under the present law. but added “the damage is al ready done.” Senator Ladd, a leader in the fa rm bloo movement, shared Norris' •pinion. “The time has come when all grain should be taken at th* next session of Congress, so as to pre vent the kind of gambling in farm crops such as has taken place this year. Grain speculation is an abso lute robbery of the people and should be driven out of American life.” PASTOR’S DAUGHTER MAY STAND TRIAL AGAIN ELYRIA, Ohio. May 14.—Prose cutor D. A.

Main MBO THE WASHINGTON TIMES TOBACCO MEN OPEN THEIR SESSIONS Bell Welcomes Them to City. President Block Scores Unfair Trade Rivalry Smoke up. boys! The tobacco men are in town! Down at the New Willa.rd Hotel, the National Tobacco Men’s conven tion opened today, under the aus pices of the Tobacco Merchants Association. The small ballroom was rich with the fumes of good cigars, picked out by experts, while here and there a.n arch-enemy of the Anti- Smoking League puffed comfortably at a cigarette. There were a few isolated! out breaks of little cigars, stogies and cheroots. No hookahs, Meer schaums or Dawes pipes were visible. Colonel James F. Beil (so read the program), better known in Washington as Engineer Commis sioner J. Franklin Bell, welcomed the tobacco men to the Capital. He asked them to take enough time away from the convention to view the* beauties of the city, and hoped that they would enjoy their visit, Hopes for Tax Cut. President Jesse Li Bloch’s report was the principal event of the morning session. He expressed the hope that the next Congress will reduce taxes on cigars and that State taxes also will be cut. He told the convention that the cigarette industry, which is adding new smokers from year to year, is helping, rather than hindering, the cigar and pipe business. “It is a well-known fact,” he I said, “that a man can acquire a taste for tobacco more easily by means of cigarettes than by pipe or cigar.” Criticize* Unfair Rivalry. President Bloch asked the men to refrain from hurting their competi tor in business, declaring that such a policy is harmful to the entire industry. He jjointed out an Instance of cigar manufacturers who state in their advertisements that their product contains considerably less nicotine than their competitors, or none at all. “This is nothing more or less than the fallacious argument of the antis in regard to cigar smokers,” said Mr. Bloch. “They entirely disregard the fact that cigar smokers do not swallow smoke, and so do not get nicotine into their systems.” Section meetings will occupy the afternoon, and the annual banquet will be held tonight. Speakers are Secretary of Agri culture William M. Jardine, Sena tor JaTnes E. Watson, Commission er of Internal Revenue David H. Blair, and Strickland Gillilan, writ er. Joseph E. Davies, former chair man of the Federal Trade Commis sion, will preside. The convention will close tomorrow, after election of directors. WIFE ILL, DEMPSEY PUTS OFF CHANNEL CROSSING LONDON.

G.

If they are ad justed to prevent the glaring they must be so adjusted that an ob ject can be seen at a distance of approximately 75 to 100 feet ahead. Mr. Dunnington suggests better lighting which will allow use of dim lights as a- remedy. TROUSERS To Match Tour Odd Coats HSEMAN’S, 7th F 3

4 JEAN ELIOT’S NEWS AND GOSSIP OF SOCIETY FESTIVITIES SPICED BY VARIETY Two Banquets Divide Interest With Opera and Travesty IF variety’s the spice of life, then there was considerable spiciness to living in Washing ton last night. What with the opera and the Twentieth Century Club's presentation of its brilliant oatire on Washington life “Alice in Blunderland,” there was a division of interest between two important local enterprises, while the business of dining seems to have been Centered at the Mayflower Hotel, where the International Council of Women was holding its farewell banquet, and the Willard, where the dinner of the Washington branch of the English Speaking Union was in progress. While Lady Aberdeen, president the International Council, was a guest at the quinquennial din- Iter, Lord Aberdeen shared with Sr Esme Howard, the British, Ambassador, the honor of being the bright particular star at the Eng lish Speaking Union Banquet. And it was he who was "called upon to toast —in water —the President of the United States, the toast master, Rear Admiral Staunton, replying with a toast to His Majesty. King George. The dinner was given in honor of the National Council of the Union, which held a session here yesterday. Waiting for a friend in the Wil- Mrd corridor, I saw some of the guests assembling and noted Mrs. John Stewart McLennand, the Chiltons and the Law’son-Johnscons of the .British embassy and Miss Stolen Ernst. Quinquennial Visitors Bid farewell At Banquet While the officers and the com mittees of the Internationaal Coun cil of Women are working today on Alans for future work, the banquet scat evening at the Mayflower Hotel geally marked the passing of the Seventh (or sixth) quinquennial con tention. which has been in session here since May 4. Although the hour grew late many were reluctant to hear the final words of farewell from Mrs. Philip North Moore, president of file American National Council, un- Ser whose auspices the dinner was £fven. r y As one looked along the speakers’ table and across the crowded ball room, transformed fox the night tato a banquet hall, everywhere there could be seen those about Whom someone had been heard to •ay during the congress: “I am sold •n her.” Which, for any who may not understand, is the American slang for, •'She-'has won me com pletely.” Following brief addressee by Mrs. Ternon Kellogg, the Chinese minis- Doctor Sze, and Doctor Valeria ker. of New York, Lady Aber deen. who was re-elected president •f the I. C. W., took charge and Presented the other officers of the international body. All of them frere seated at the table of honor and each of them in her distinct personality had grown happily familiar to those who attended the gessions of the council. First there was Lady Aberdeen tn deep, flowing red with a soft While lace fichu —Lady Aberdeen, who met all difficulties with gra dousness, fairness and a sense of humor —and who, although she may have dozed occasionally, was never •aught napping. Then there were Mrs. Ogilvie Gordon, of England,- first vice pres ident, who has presented so clearly to the congress many questions for consideration; and Mme. Avril de fialnte-Croix, that wonderful French woman whose appearance suggests generations of culture and beauty of character; and Fru Anna Back qr. the efficient corresponding sec- Mtary from the land of the mid night sun, who always seemed to know just what she wanted and When she wanted it; and Miss van Reghqn with the glorious Titian hair, who, according to report, has been, is. or is to be lady-in-walting to Queen Wilhemina of The Nether lands; and Froken Forchhammer. of Denmark, with her hair drawn back so simply and who, when oc casion demanded, could speak with •uch simplicity, and Miss Elsie Ximmern. of England, who never toissed a letter of any resolution; •nd that dear woman, Mrs. W. E. Banford, of Canada, treasurer, who •at so quietly day by day on the platform of the auditorium with her small black hat pushed’ well forward covering much of her beautiful, luxuriant white hair. LThere, too, was Princess Canta guzene, of Rumania, who never, never dares trust herself to speak tn English, but who declares when •he returns to this country she is f going to speak the Affglo-Saxon tongue “better than anybody”; and me. Plaminkova, of Czechoslo vakia, who looks as if she could foake a success on the stage as she bas done as head of the Czechoslo vak Council of Women; and Mme. fcomnlciano, of Rumania, who would Just as soon speak one language as Another, who, as interpreter in French, helped much at the ses sions of the council and who was pne of few who did not need to Stand before the magnifier to make ter voice heard throughout the all.

Applause continuous and spon taneous punctuated this amusing lampoon on "Washington in which the “Mad Hatter” (Gertrude Stev ens) and the “March Hare” (Mabel Swormstedt) doubled for the House and the Senate, the District Com missioners were fearsomely painted as the “Three Executioners,” the Board of Education was pictured as the “Mockturtle” and all the strange inconsistencies of our mode of government were held up to friendly ridicule. The only point overlooked was the possibility of presenting Vice President Dawes as the “Dormouse (Olive McComas) —he was oniy caught napping once—instead of Which he figured as the “Knave of Hearts” In the highly entertaining “Trial by Jury” scene. The program was divided into seven episodes, with the familiar “seven maids with seven mops” as a prologue. “The Discovery of Blunderland,”. "The Pool of Tears” and “The Mad Tea Party” were followed by T he Mock Turtle’s Story,” illustrated by the “Lobster Quadrille,” danced by a group of pupils of the Marjorie Webstei School of Dancing. “Advice from a Caterpillar,” “Trial by Jury” and “The Queen’s Croquet Ground” brought the merry. travesty to a close. many were “sold” reached perhaps the high note of good will and ap preciation in a thoroughly dear farewell. Mrs. Sanford said that she had come to Washington nearly sixty years ago as a bride, at which time everybody had seemed as lovely as possible to her, but that this time it seemed that she had received oven greater kindness and affection taxi drivers, elevator operators, waiters, everybody with whom she came in contact —and particularly Mrs. Alvin Dodd, chairman of the transportation committee. Mrs. Sanford’s peach-bloom com plexion belies her more than sixty years. Also at the speakers’ table were two others who did not speak last evening, but whose acts of help fulness have been speaking for them daily for this ten-day period— Mrs. N. E. Harris, of Bradford, Pa., chairman of the quinquennial convention committee, and Mrs. Levin Swiggett. general chairman of the local committees. The Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Wilbur, sat at the right, hand of Mrs. Moore, but apparently came only to observe, for he made no public remarks. A feature of the evening was the presentation to Lady Aberdeen of a pair of hand-made gloves by the Latvian delegation. Others noted about the room were a delegate from Iceland in pictures que costume —a beautiful dress of black with gold trimmings and a headdress of white veiling, which she explained was only worn to do high honor; Mrs. George Cadbury, of England, and her lovely young daughter dressed in a charming frock of flame-colored crepe de chine; Miss Ilbert, who is traveling with Mrs. Cadbury and Miss Cad bury; Fru Betzy Kjelsberg, of Nor way, who was one of the outstand ing figures of the Congress: the German delegation with Frau, Emma Ender, president, sitting at a table with Mrs. Percy Pennypacker, of Texas: the Hungarian delegate, who DRESSMAKING Taught Quickly Hix leaaons for X 5.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES SHRINERS WILL OtOICITt WO HOSPITALS Three Hundred From Capital Going to Springfield, Mass., and Montreal Three hundred Washington Shrlners, headed by Illustrious Po tentate Henry Lansljtfrgh and in cluding the divan, military band and patrol, will leave Washington at midnight tonight aboard a spe cial Pullman train for Springfield, Mass., and Montreal, Canada, to assist in the dedication of two Shriner hospitals for crippled chil dren. These are the first Shriner hospitals to be established east of the Mississippi, and Washington children will be eligible for treat ment at Springfield. The Washington delegatiqn will arrive at Springfield at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning and will take part in the parade, dedication cere monies, Inspection of the hospital and a ceremonial session of Melha Temple. The Washington band and patrol will participate in a drill at the Springfield itempie. At midnight tomorrow the party will leave Springfield for Montreal, arriving there early Saturday morn ing. They will leave Montreal Sunday afternoon and reach Wash ington Monday morning. The dedication ceremonies will be attended by uniformed Shrine bodies from all of the New England and Eastern States and Canada, and more than 50,000 Shriners aside from the uniformed bodies are ex pected to attend. Potentate Lansburgh, who is one of the representatives to the Im- perial Council of North America.) explained the hospital plan as fol lows: “Our plan is to give treatment, through the establishment of hospi tals for crippled children in various parts of this country, and through the medium of city hospitals where we have none of our own. Nearly a million and a quarter dollars is annually expended in this humani tarian work. Support of this move ment comes from assessments on each Shriner to aid in the humani tarian movement. Almas Temple has its proportionate share in this expense and all members are stock holders in this fraternal investment of happiness for afflicted children.. "Construction of eight hospitals has begun and plans drawn for the ninth, and the Shrine hopes to keep o n building such institutions until skilled surgical treatment is within reach of every crippled child in America. More than fifteen hundred children a year are being made normal and straight at these “temples of baby smiles,” many of whom had never walked a step.” LOCOEM OFFICERS (0 Oil OOTI Captain D. J.
