GIRL QUIZZED IN SLAYING OF ESCORT, SCENE OF TRAGEDY AND PAL WHO LAST SAW COUPLE MISS NELLIE F. WAGNER, Whose escort was mysteriously slain.

The uproar that the law has caused, the ridicule heaped upon it by scientists and men of learning generally, have in no way operated to change the minds of Tennessee legislators on this point. Legislators Explain. These facts were disclosed today when International News Service in vited a number of Tennessee legis lators to explain their votes on the measure. Opinions on both sides were sought and the replies afford an in teresting insight into basic, under lying motives that inspired the adoption of this much talked of legislation. One legislator, Senator W. Mack Fuqua, of Nashville, who did not vote for or against because he was denied the privilege of debating it. frankly declared the law was passed because the representatives of the rural districts were afraid to vote “no” and then explain it back home where fundamentalism is taught from the cradle. “My objection to ths bill,’’ he said, “was not based upon whether the theory of evolution was incon sistent with the Bible, but rather on the principle that church and State should be separate for govern mental reasons. “Their attempted unity has left blood-stained tracks through the pages of European history. Afraid of Voters. “Most legislators supported the measure because they were afraid of a possible public sentiment espe cially in the rural districts where religious principles are more de voutly entertained and exercised. It was easier to vote for it than to explain to the people back horns. “Lack of courage to voto convictions Sb largely resoonsiblo 1

2 LEGISLATORS TELL WHY THEY PASSED ANTI-EVOLUTION LAW SOUGHT TO UPHOLD BIBLE (Continued from First Psge.) for the passage of this measure, as for many others.” But Senator Fuqua was woefully tn the minority. The bill passed the senate. 20 to 6, and the house 89 to 3, il lustrating the Unanimity of, Ten nessee's belief in this matter. Some of the explanations of votes follow: Senator W. P. Monroe, Maynards rille: “Modernism as represented by evolution denies the scriptural scheme of creation. If it could be established that one part of the Bible is a myth or fake, it would naturally follow that the word, as a whole, is foundationless. "I recognize in evolution an ef fort to destroy the Bitjle and its in fluence, despite the fact that what we are today we owe to the Bible •nd the teachings of Christ. It was upon this hypothesis that I favored the bill.” Voted for Bible. Senator S. T. Dotty, Springville: "I voted for the evolution law be cause the Bible plainly explains how man was created.” Senator W. French Grubb. Chat tanooga: "I voted for the measure because I believe in the- origin of man as taught in the Bible and because the State has the absolute tight to direct the expenditure of Its public funds in the education of children.” Senator Roy C. Wallace, Lenoir City, "I voted for the law because I thought it a good one. Every in tellectual person believes in evolu tion in many forms so long as it does not conflict with the Holy Bible. "I notice that Doctor Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia Univer sity, has stated that enactment of this law was a show of ignorance. “All Tennesseans would be rather more or less Ignorant of some things than be dubbed an educated fool. I suppose he thinks it was a bunch of ignoramuses who led the nation in volunteering in all our wars. I suppose he thinks it was a bunch of ignoramuses, who helped break ths Hindenburg line. Will Protect Young. “The time has come when Ten nessee- will protect her young from the influence of such educated fools. Senator Hervey Whitefield, Clarks ville: “I voted for the bill as a means to prevent teaching that the Bible is not true and also to con form to the will of the majority of my constituents. The bill provides that nothing should be taught that indicates that man evolved from a lower animal. "I believe as my colleagues did that the Genesis story of creation is 1 true and that Jesus was divine.” j Senator Hugh T. Bennett, Fruit-1 land: "I believe in the theory of evolution as applied to man. All things are reproduced after their kind. Most people in Tennessee believe the Biblical ac count of the creation of man. De stroy the faith in God’s word and I you have destroyed all that is best in civilization. Teachers of evolution should not be permitted to discuss immoral ideas in the guise of. •cipncp Stands on Rights. Senator D. D. Humphreys, Hohen- j wald: "This law plainly provides it j is unlawful to* teach in schools sup ported by the State any theory that contradicts the origin of man as taught in the Bible. We have the right to say what shall not be taught. The act in no way inter feres with any religious idea in the State. If man actually came from the monkey I do not want such an Idea taught our children. This is being done by some teachers in Tennessee and for these reasons I voted for the bill.” Four of th£ six senators who voted against the bill explained their reasons as follows: Senator (Dr.) C. Benton King, Brownsville: "I voted against the bill feecause I thought it was stupid to try to control thought by law. “The theory of evolution does not discredit the Bible. Any attempt to Impede search for truth is an assault on all education and there for® intolerable.” Blow at Education. Senator John H. Trice, Jackson:! “I voted against the bill because f believed its’ enactment into law unnecessary, would defeat the ob- ject sought, and would inflame the spirit of bigotry and demagogism.” Senator Cecil Sims, Nashville: "I Voted against the bill because I be lieve in the fundamental principle of the separation of church and State. "This bill was but the first step, as evidenced by a companion bill, I to prohibit Jews from teaching in I the public schools. This was de- seated.

DIRIGIBLES NOT GOING ON TRIP ■TOPOLE Wilbur Calls Off Plans Until Motors Have Been Develop ed—His ’Statement The proposed American aerial expedition to the north pple, called off more than a year ago by President Coolidge, will not be undertaken until naval officials are convinced that' either rhe Shenandoah or Los Angeles, the Navy’s great dirigibles, can oper ate safely in the polar regions, it was learned* here today. Because of the failure of the Los Angeles to make a successful flight Saturday from Lakehurst, N. J., to Minneapolis, Secretary of the Navy Wilbur looks upon long distance flying as a problem presenting extreme difficulties which must be overcome before big chances are taken with the airships. The difficulties which the Los Angeles encountered by running into a sei eve rainstorm in its trip :o Bermuda and its forced return to Lakehurst on Saturday have convinced Wilbur, too, that it would not be feasible to send either of the dirgibles to the North pole to search for the Amundsen expedi tion. Wilbur looks upon such a trip as a "wild goose chase,” and will so report to the President upon the latter’s return here tomorrow. Request for the use of one of the American airships to search for Amundsen was made to the Presi dent and referred by him to the Navy Department. "If showed moisture would freeze on the gas bags on the Northern trip,” Wilbur said, ‘‘'it would pre sent a tremendous problem and handicapy." The Secretary is making an in vestigation of the failure of the Los Angeles to get to Minnesota, but in the meantime has not aban doned plans for the trip. Orders have been issued to the commander of the dirglble to re sume the flight as soon as neces sary engine repairs have been made. ELLiriNDIGTED IN STUBBING DEATH Alleged Assailant of Woman Charged With Murder in First Degree William N. Ellis, colored, is charged With murder in the first degree in an indictment returned by the grand jury today. He is alleged to have stabbed to death Agnes Muse, also colored. May 23 last, at her home, 711 S street, northwest. Kirby E. Dellinger is charged with pilfering the mails. It is alleged he stole four parcel post packages December 9 last containing three watches and a pistol. The grand jurors ignored a charge of conspiracy to collect insurance against Quinby E. Sanders and John H. Beatly and an allegation of larceny alter tfust against William M. Mobley. Others indicted include: Haywood B. Holmes, pandering; Thomas M. Ladd, white slavery; Joseph Simms, Louise B. Smith and William D. Smith, grand larceny; Richard E. Farrell, non-support and George Chaiuhas, joyriding. CROOK GIVES LIFE TO SAVE DOG FROM WATER NEW YORK, June 9. —“Tinker” Walsh, whose real first name was John, was not a good man. He was a criminal, if the police are to be believed, a hold-up man who prowled in darkened alleys and streets, pin ioned his victim’s arms behind him and went through his pockets from the back. He had often been in jail and once seived a prison sentence: he got into trouble so often that the police always watched him when he ventured forth from his home. But they will have to watch him no more, for Walsh is dead. He was drowned in the East river, off the James street slip, after he had dived from the pier to rescue his dog. STUDENTS SEEK PROFESSOR’S SLAYER Class of 30 Decide on ‘‘Self Investigation”—May Be Vic tim of “Abnormal” Youth UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA, Baton Rouge, June 9. —The staying of Oscar B. Turner, popular profes sor in the University here, still was shrouded in a veil of mystery to day. Was he the victim of some "ab normal’’ college student, as was Bobby Franks in Chicago? Did some college co-ed commit the crime? Qr was he slain by some student or outside stranger tv avenge a grudge? These were the questions that baffled police and university au thorities today as they continued a diligent investigation which thus far has proved fruitless. The blood-stained ax, which was found on an obscure shelf In the agronomy building, where the dy ing professor, his features hacked and his body mutilated, was dis covered Sunday morning, is the only clue which officers have had to guide them in their task. This clue practically frazzled out when it was found that the slayer had been so careful as to conceal his finger prints. Experts were unable to photograph a finger or hand print that might solve the' brutal slaying. Many persons were under sur veillance by detectives today. Stu dents were watching one another. All were anxious to solve the mys tery but authorities faced a help less situation without a clue to work on. A "self Investigation” has been determined upon by agronomy class 33, which is composed of nearly thirty students, who frankly de clared that the finger of suspicion was pointing at them. They voted to conduct a personal investigatior of the quarters of each student of their class for in criminating evidence. Each mem ber of the class consented to It, according to District Attorney Odom. "They will report their findings to authorities,” Odom said. The coroner’s inquest last night failed to develop any new clues. A number of witnesses were examined. Two brothers of Professor Turner were examined. They were C. R. Turner and P. C. Turner, who reside in George county, Miss. They said Profesor Turner was worth probably 330,000,'. most of which was tied up in mortgage on the old home place in Plymouth, 111. The coroner’s Jury adjourned until late today. Funeral services for Professor Turner will be held here this after noon and the body will be sent to Plymouth, 111., for interment. VIRGINIA GOVERNOR URGED TO PARDON BOY SLAYER RICHMOND, Va., June 9.—Gov ernor Trinkle was beseiged with re quests today to grant a reprieve to Rodney Hoke, nineteen-year-oTd mountain boy, doomed to die in the electric chair June 13 for killing a man during a drinking bout. The youth declared he was crazed with liquor and has no recollection of the murder. White,25,000,000 as op posed to the approximate 1X8,000,000 value recently set by. the utilities commission. Clarence Dodge, veteran realtor, told the court in his affidavit that the land value of the telephone company's property is $1,060,873 whereas the utilities commission only gave it a value of $675,000. Samuel J. Prescot, local builder, in his affidavit, advises the court that, in his opinion, the company building are worth $2,954,886, as oppossed to $2,600,534 valued by the commission. Two eingineers, Charles A. Robin son and William S. Sloan, in affi davits. set forth that, in their opinion, the physical property of the phone company is worth be tween $24,000,000 and $27,000,000. The lower value was set by Robin son and the higher by Sloan. TWIN CITY TRIP TRIUMPH FDR COOLIDGE President and Party Speed ing Homeward After Great Reception in West i By GEORGE E. DURNO. International New* Service. ENROUTE TO WASHINGTON WITH PRESIDENT COOLIDGE, June 9.—President Coolidge, home ward bound from the greatest re ception he ever received in his political career, was traveling East ward today toward Washington, there to stay but two weeks before embarking on a summer vacation that will keep him in New England until after Labor Day. During the twenty-seven hours that he stayed in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, where he featured the hundredth anniversary of the First Norwegian Settlement in America, president Coolidge wit nessed the largest turn-out in his honor that he has ever experienced. Every street of St. Paul and Min neapolis that he traversed was lined solidly with citizens of the Northwest, A Personal Triumph. The Coolidge invasion of the wheat belt was a personal triumph in two ways. First he successfully demonstrated his popularity in that section of the country regarded as a La Follette stronghold, and sec ond, he wiped out the odium of his only other attempt to address the people of the Twin Cities. In 1922 Mr. Coolidge, then Vice President, visited Minnesota in be half of the re-election of Senator Frank B. Kellogg, competing with an exhausting heat and the pros pect of a horse race, he was booed down and never completed hig speech. Yesterday 60,000 people jammed the fair grounds.and obliv ious to a howling wind- and an in termittent rain, cheered the Presi dent to the echo throughout a forty five minute address, on his way to the fair grounds, sixteen miles <f streets were packed with flag-wav ing, enthusiastic citizens. The Presidential party is re turning to Washington aboard the same Baltimore and Ohio special that brought them out to St. Paul. The same group is aboard, in addi-' tlon to Mrs. Coolidge, Secretary of State Kellogg, Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin; Secretary to the Presi dent Sariwers, and the milltaiy aide and physician, Colonel S A. Cheney and Major J. .F. Coupal.. Senator Lenroot left the train at ■Madison,'Wis., at 7:20 this mom ing, where a brief operating stop was made. Big Public Reception. The President and his guests boarded their train last night at 9:30 following a public reception in honor of Mr. Coolidge, staged at the State capitol at St. PauL For an—hour, the President received per sonally all those who desired to meet him. It was estimated that 3,00 people filed through the line, with nearly 10,000 disappointed out side. At Chicago, this’ morning, shortly before noon, the Presidential special will switch over from the Chicago and Northwestern to the Baltimore and Ohio road, on which the final stretch of the journey will be mad-.

AIRPLANE ENGINES WITHOUT SPARK PLUGS BEING PERFECTED CRUDE OIL IS FUEL USED Aeronautical Committee Has Finally Eliminated Faults x of Gasoline Motors By FRED J. WALKER. As a drataatic climax to more than four years of experimentation by a distinguished group of scien tists, the principle of the crude oil airplane engine without spark plugs has been found practicable, it was learned today. The revolutionary motor, sought by engineers since airplanes first flew, is now being completed by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, it was an nounced. Admitted By Scientist. Although qualifying his announce ment with scientific caution. G.- W. Lewis, director of aeronautical re search, today said that the com mittee constructing the engine “sees M daylight ahead” after years of la borious study. The new engine eliminates a wide Variety of unreliable equipment which has contributed to the dangers of flying heavier-than-alr craft, Lewis said. Spark plugs and the present types of ignition systems used in airplane and automobile engines are entirely done away with, being supplanted by heavy compression and cylinder heat. _ Causes Automatic Explosion. Instead of the accustomed spark Ignition with gasoline vapor in the cylinder, the engine heat, combined With 3,000 pounds compression causes an automatic explosion. The same rough principle is known to motorists whose engines are full of carbon. “Pre-ignltion,’’ er an explosion ahead of the spark, caused by the glowing carbon, was %the explanation given by the aero nautical engineers of the new sys tem. The greatest feature of the en gine, however, according to Lewis, la the fact it uses ordinary crude oil. Should a plane crash, crude oil would not immediate ignite and envelop the pilot in roaring flames before he recovered from the shock of the fall. IOO,OOO. HAGERSTOWN, Md., June 9 A hail and rainstorm of unusual severity swept through a belt a mile wide in this county last even ing, doing heavy damage to prop erty and crops. The storm cen tered its force over Williamsport, devastating gardens and flooding the town and surrounding vicinity. Hail was shoveled up into piles. Lightning struck and damaged a house, trees were blown down, and the electric light system was crippled. The deluge broke a serious drought in the storm area. Other sections are suffering from lack of rain. F,ive Homes Sold Since Sunday The New Wonder Homes In (BiIRTEITH At 36th and R Sts. N. W.

Arms Agreement BRISTOL, Conn., May 9. “There is no dqubt in my mind that the battleship is a back number,” declared Rear Admiral William Snowden Sims, U. S. N. (retired), after dwelling on the importance of the subma rine and the airplane as chief weapons for national defense. He spoke before the Bristol chamber of commerce. “If the largest and most for midable battleship in the world meets an airplane carrier, the carrier will destroy the ship,” he added, telling how the air plane carrier could stand out side range, release its airships and entirely destroy the giant warship. Explaining that the United States is dependent on the sub marine and airship for defense, Admiarl Sims said the 5—5—3 naval ratio, as determined by the arms conference, gave' this country no assurance of safety. He criticized “the lack of strategy” on the part of this country at that conference and warned against binding our selves to limit our submarines and airplanes at a future con ference, which, he believes, will be held soon. POLE FLIERS TO TRIFORM, REPORT Amundsen Said Before He Left Columbia Would Be Relief Point COPENHAGEN, June 9.—Reports from Oslo today Indicated meterolo gists and representatives of the Dornier Airplane Works at Spitsber gen now believe the Amundsen-Ells worth North Pole fliers are endeav oring to reach Cape Columbia. At that point relief could be sent to the party by a steamer expedition. This belief is based on statements by members of the Amundsen ex pedition still at Spitsbergen who said Amundsen told them that if he did not return by airplane within fourteen days or was forced to de scend he would make his way to Cape Columbia.

4 JEAN ELIOT’S GOSSIP OF SOCIETY HOOVER’S SON JO WED SOON Marriage to Miss Marga ret Watson, of Calif., to Follow Graduation _ By JEAN ELIOT. THE announcement that Herbert C. Hoover, jr., son of the Sec retary of Commerce and Mrs. Hoover, is to wed Miss Margaret Watson, of San Francisco on June 25 calls attention to the romantic way in which history is 'repeating Itself. For Mr. Hoover and Miss Watson are graduating together from Leland Stanford University, just as Herbert Hoover, sr., and Miss Lou Henry did some thirty years ago to be married not very long afterward. Secretary and Mrs. Hoover, however, started house keeping in the wilds of China, where Mr. Hoover’s career as a mining engineer took him; and one wonders if young Herbert Hoover is following in his father’s foot steps in his choice of a roving profession as well as in selecting a wife from among his classmates at Stanford. Although Miss Watson is a San Francisco girl, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas S. Watson, the wedding is to take place in Palo i Alto, where Leland Stanford Uni versity is situated and where the Hoovers have a beautiful home. The engagement was announced about a year ago. Secretary and Mrs. Hoover are starting for California tomorrow and will arrive in time for com mencement, the wedding and the festivities which will precede it. After that a vacation, which the Secretary has announced will be largely devoted to “going fishing.” Mr. Hoover is a keen and most successful angler, Mrs. Hoover aid ing and abetting him in this sport as she has in most of the activities of his tremendously varied career. Now that the Bureau of Mines is being transferred from the Interior Department to the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce the Secretary will have an unofficial helper under his own. vine and fig tiee, for Mrs. Hoover specialized in metallurgy at Stanford, while her husband was studying mining and engineering. And after their grad uation the Hoovers collaborated on a translation of “Agricola de Re- Metallica,” which has since been a standard text book in schools of mines. It is said that Secretary Hoover would rather dabble in mining af fairs than in any of the multi farious activities which engage his inexhaustible energy. He was a mining engineer of recognized merit at twenty-one; and between 1895 and 1913 he practiced his pro fession in the United States, Mex ico, Canada, Australia, Italy, Great Britain, South Africa, India, Cnina and Russia. TO VISIT NEWPORT NEXT WEEK BY MOTOR. The Minister of Sweden and Mme. Wallenberg will leave Washington by motor next Monday for the north. They will arrive in Newport July 1 and will be the guests there of Mrs. John Aspegren for about a week. Mme. Wallenberg will sail July 9 on the Drottningholm for Sweden to pass the summer and the minister will join her there later.

Mrs. Leigh Palmer will leave town on Sunday evening for Char lottesville, Va., to attend the grad uation of her son, James McKeldin, from the University of Virginia. Mr. McKeldin has recently been elected to the Phi Beta Kappa. Mrs. Palmer will have as her guest for a few days Mrs. Arthur Lee, who will arrive the latter part of next week from Vent nor, N. J., where she is- visiting her sister, Mrs. Stephen B. Elkins. From Washington Mrs. Lee will go to Elkins, W. Va., where she will spend the summer. With her for the summer will be her daugh ter. Mrs. Stoddard P.. Johnston, of New York.

The Counselor of the British Em bassy and Mrs. Henry Getty Chilton will close their house here in R street about June 21 and go to Man chester, Mass., to spend the summer.

Mrs. Henry Benning Spencer and her daughters. Miss Violet Spencer and Miss Louise Spencer, will leave the latter part of this month for Watch Hill, R. 1., where they will spend the summer.

EMBASSY CLUB SEEKS NEW MEMBERS New Vork Organization to Build Up Out-of- Town List The project to extend member ship in the Embassy Club, of New York, to a selected group of resi dents in Washington and other nearby cities, gives a certain in terest here to the activities of this organization, the rendezvous of the only aristocracy America recognizes—that of brains and achievement. Although occupying its spacious quarters at 695 Fifth avenue less than two months, the roster cf membership reveals the names of over 1,000 New Yorkers who nave distinguished themselves in the aits and professions. The idea of creating The Embassy Club was conceived about four years ago by a group of society leaders, artists, writers and people prominent In theatrical circles. To day, their organization is flourish ing on even a broader scale than the founders contemplated in the beginning. Mrs. Richard T. Wilson, who was one of the leading sponsors of the organization, in discussing the pro ject recently, said: “The changed conditions in New York since the war made it impera tive that a club be established along the broad lines of the Embassy Club. Many New York ers no longer maintain homes suit able for extensive entertaining and the hotels and restaurants have failed to supply the exact needs of hostesses. “We appreciated the plight of many gracious hostesses thus situ ated when we organized the Embassy Club. That is why we obtained the spacious old mansion at No. 695 Fifth avenue for our quarters. We have private dining rooms where any member can enter tain as many guests as she wishes. Now, instead of burdening herself with details and preparations for an afternoon tea or bridge party, a member of the Embassy Club can give such an entertainment without trouble to herself-or household. “We have our dining rooms open for luncheon, dinner and supper. Excellent music is supplied for members and their guests who wish to dance during the afternoon or evening. The club has become ex tremely popular for after-theater parties because, of course, all the objectionable features of the public restaurants are eliminated. "Another thing that I believe has contributed greatly to the suc cess of the club is our excellent out-of-town membership list, which is now to be enlarged.” The entire Fifth avenue club house is luxuriously furnished and has a real club atmosphere about it. Rare tapestries and fine paint ings adorn the walls and most of the furnishings are antiques of great value. MISS KITTELLE MARRIED TO MARINE OFFICER. Miss Mary Sigebee Kittelle, daughter of Rear Admiral and Mrs. Sumner E. W. Kittelle and grand daughter of the late Rear Admiral C. D. Sigsbee, was married last evening to Lieutenant Lester A. Dessez, U. S. M. C., the ceremony taking place in St. Thomas’ Church, with a reception afterward at the Washington Club. The bridegroom is the JsLn of Charles E. Dessez, of Washington, and is at present serv ing as aide to Brigadier General John H. Russell, American High Commissioner in Hayti. The details of the wedding wertf Spanish in their inspiration, the bride wearing a quaint gown of ivory satin made on Spanish Ones with a tight fitting bodice and long full skirt. Her veil of beautiful old rose point lace, which had been in the family for several genera tions, was worn mantilla fashion over a high Spanish comb. The gown was trimmed with similar lace. She carried a bouquet of bride roses and lilies of the valley. Mrs. C. J. Moore, of Annapolis, was matron of honor for her sister, and her cousin, Miss Elizabeth Small, was maid of honor. The group of bridesmaids Included Miss Eunice Dessez, sister of the bride groom, Miss Julie Hume, Miss Elizabeth Hume and Miss Adele Delano. Their gowns, too, were of Spanish type, fashioned of lustrous taffeta and worn with bright colpr ed chiffon scarfs. Mrs. Moore was in rose color, with the bridesmaids attired in buttercup yellow and the maid of honor in orange taffeta. They all carried bouquets of old fashioned flowers and wore wreaths of yellow and orange gardenias across the back of the head. Lieutenant Dessez had as best man Lieutenant Hayne D. Boyden, U. S. M.

The church was decorated with pink roses and pink peonies on the altar and palms and ferns around the chancel and similar decoration was used in the home. The bride, who was given in mar riage by her father, wore a gown of white chiffon made on straight lines. The bodice was sleeveless and the trimming was princess lace and pearls. Over the court train of chiffon fell a flesh-colored tulle veil, which was pleated and ar ranged high inf the back and caught at the sides with clusters of orange blossoms.

ROM HIE TO CHMNE 'CUMBERS' Impoverished Duchesses Find It Profitable to Help Boost U. 8. Girls By International News Sorrtee. LONDON, June 9. Chaperone have made a distinct reappearance in London this season. They are not like the chaperons of fifteen years ago who used to s!t like cameos on the edge of ballrooms. Today they are as jazz mad as any of the young people they bring. Many American debutantes in London have adopted London chan- 4 erons when their mothers have not been able to accompany them. Im poverished duchesses and needy countesses are finding it well worth while to take an attractive girl to the opera with them for the sake of a few thousand dollars. Introductions to a few people well worth knowing and a visit or two to the smartest country homes for parties are thrown In with the arrangement. To take a chaperon to a dance is becoming as “smart” as it was to take a fantastic doll under the arm twelve months ago. The chap eron’s skirt will probably just reach to her knees and if her charge asked her to -sit out a dance she would probably be told not to be lazy.

SPARK BOOSTER INVENTOR IS HERE Egbert D. von Lepel Will Show Automotive Croup How New Invention Works Egbert D. von Lepel, of Berlin, Germany, came to Washington to day to consult his patent attorney t in connection with his new auto 9 invention, the “Lepel Spark Boos ter,” a device which converts a weak spark into hot and fla*”ng flame. Mr. von Lepel had been in Chi cago where he gave a demonstration of his invention to a group of t u tomotive industry men. He will give a similar demonstration during his stay in the National Capital. The Lepel high frequency current converter acts like a dam against the current in the wires before the sparking plug, Mr. von Lepel ex plained. Until the .gn»t on tension is reached the weak magneto cur- twit is stored by the natural ca pacity of the ignition device. Intensified by Storage. The igniting current, essentially intensified by the storage, bridges the spark-gap as a short very’ strong current and is then immediately stopped by the “current converter.” This phenomenon xs many times re peated within each ignition period; the “Lfpel current converter” is able to stop and start the current some hundred thousand times in a second. With the strong current impulses there act rushes of current* of many amperes in lieu of permanent cur rents of milli amperes, since the high-frequency oscillation is accom plished with the extremely high number of 20 to 30 millions of cycles per second. On account of the damming effect of the "current converter” the orig Inal potential is many times newly built up during each ignition, the energy stored in the iron core of I the ignition magneto is- therefore spent within one-fifth to one-twen tieth of the normal time according to the compression and to the nat ural capacity of the ignition device. Always Prepared. For that reason the armature of the magneto or the. core of the coil is always perfectly w prepared to receive the next following mag netising impulse even with the highest speeds. Each single ignit ing period consists of a veritable bombardment of strong-current im pulses. According to the extremely 'high frequency of twenty to thirty millions per second the tension at the sparking plug rises up many times iA.each period to the ignition voltage within'-this short fraction of time. A stored electrical charge beipg each time available as spare cur rent thanks to the charge of the 1 natural capacity, the igniting spark still starts when on account of soot or moisture it would fail at t the sparking plug of a standard ignition device, for this failure happens only whenever the shunt of the spark-plug produced by soot or mosture leaks almost as much current as the ignition device 13 able to furnish! in that space of time. The failure of ignition in a stand ard device is always initiated by a fraction of the current leaking through a deposit of soot which at first is but slight. It_is the current itself which transforms the thin layer of dirt into carbon whicn highly increases the electrical con ductivity. The short-circuit thus produced depends chefly on the effect of the igniting currents in use up to date. The ignition current transformed into high-frequency current-rushes by the “current converter” put In the circuit does not form from any oil-carbon. Deposits on the spark ing plug occasionally started in every motor do. not at all trouble the ignition, they quickly disappear on the contrary as soon as the motor runs full speed, whereas the oil-carbon clings to the plug with the ancient device. Moreover the electrodes of the sparking plugs burn away much less with the high-frequency ignition than other wise. The current converter requires for itself but a very small frac- i tion of the ignition tension, corre sponding to 1-250 inch sparking distance. It does therefore not charge the magneto like the ancient devices especially con densers pr spark stretchers.

San Francisco Chest Well Filled Collections Gain SIOO,OOO for Year, Though Returns Fail of Goal Set SAN FRANCISCO, June 9.—The Community Chest has been a suc cess in San Francisco, and at the close of the third campaign there is no “question in tho minds of ih charge that the organization will continue in success and helpfulness. During the 1925 cajnpaign, held February 10 to 20, the Community! Chest raised 12.206,510.96 or >IOO,OOO more than ever before, and whereas there were only ninety agencies in the organization in 1923, the begin ning year, there are now 104. None of the agencies originally in the Chest have withdrawn, and fourteen have been added. But although more money than ever before was raised, the goal set for the campaign—s2,492,s46—was not reached. The Chest explains this as being due to ths fact that San Francisco had only two months to prepare for the campaign, owing to the illness of one of the execu tives and a consequent change cf personnel. Draw’s as Novelty. In 1923, when the idea of the chest was novel, the goal was >2.037,206 and the city gave >2,142,- 732.86. In 1924 there was st drop. The goal was >2,174,356 and only >2.081,958 was given. Though the 1925 campaign also failed to bring in the quota, there was about >175,000 gain over the year before. The goal has constantly increased because of the increased number of agencies in the chest. It is ex pected that all of the 1925 quota will be raised during the year through the central office. There is a question whether or not San Francisco has reached the satura tion point in giving. Only the cam paigns of the next few years can test this point. In 1923, .the first year, 105,970 people subscribed; in 1924, there were 116,683 subscribers, and in 1925, 114,000 gav«. The chest ex plains the fluctuation in the num ber of givers and in the amovnts received by saying that there is al ways a varying number of people who constitutionally object to the idea of a community chest; that there are those who object to it because of religious prejudices, since the chest aids all denomina tions, and that the' energy of the campaigners is not always 100 per cent. The Community Chest has proven very satisfactory in cutting down campaign labor and expendi ture. Under the old system of separate campaigns, 25 per cent of the receipts was spent for ex penses, while under the chest, only 5 per cent went for expenses. The organization is run with great economy, with a paid staff of un der twenty persons. As a sanip*e of the integrity of the organiza tion, the campaign expenses were >4,000 less than the amount al lowed. The final test of the Community Chest in San Francisco has keen the improvement of social service. It has eliminated rivalry between the various agencies and has brought about complete co-opera tion. For instance, one agency featuring music is now classes in two other community houses, thus cutting down the total expense and allowing more ito- other needs. Letters from the agencies show great relief, and gratitude for the services of the chest in releiving them of the burden of collecting funds. They have now all their for improving the service they give, and their monthly income (tu be used for maintenance and opera tion only) is assured. One hundred and forty-eight thousand cases sgere relieved in 1924. Many improvements in San Fran- THE WASHINGTON TIMES The National Daily TUESDAY, JUNE 9, 1925. FRANCE WARNS SPECULATORS INFRANCS Caillaux Will Use Entire Mor gan Loan of $100,000,000 to Stabilize Currency By FRANK E. MASON, International News Service. PARIS. June 9.—France declared war today on speculators in the franc. The American dollar this after noon was worth more than twenty francs. The British pound sterling purchased more than 100. Minister of Finance Joseph Cail laux met the situation wtih an of ficial communique, couched in mili tary terms, announcing a war against speculators. He warned them that those attempting to profit at the expense of the beleagured franc would suffer the same fate as a year ago, when the franc jumped from twenty-seven to the dollar to less than twenty. The French financial genius denied reports that he' intended in flation by means of large currency issues. He .said he was willing to throw the entire >100,000,000 Morgan loan into the breach to stop decline of the franc. Other funds would be called out as reserve forces, he said. "In view of present circumstances I have decided, if necessary, to use the loan as a mass maneuver,” v hls communique read. “I will throw in the entire loan If necessary, and even add other available important munitions at our disposal.” The “zero hour” for the attack of the Morgan loan will be kept a secret from those who would lake a profit from the inevitable upturn in the franc. Minister Caillaux would not in dicate today whether the interven tion of this loan would start today, tomorrow, within the week, or oven was already under way. The use of the Morgan loan will not be governed by fixed rates The finance ministry has placed no definite mark at which to start the attack/ or any advanced level at which the campaign will halt. Does Washington Want Community Chest? The experiences bf other cities with community chests should be considered in making a decision for Washington. This newspaper has obtained, from special correspondents, the story of the community chest in cities whose popula tion is comparable to that of Washington. The series will be presented, one each day for several days. The Times has no intent to prove or disprove anything by these articles; they are pub lished solely for their informa tive value. cisco’s social service have been ef fected by the chest. In 1923, there was, for Instance, no agency to help cripples find employment. When they left the hospital, they frequently became street beggars. To help this class, the bureau for the handicapped has been estab lished by the chest, and is the only organization of its kind in America. As a result of its work the police here have been chasing all the pencil sellers from the streets. The hourly service burehu was another result of the chest, and was established principally to find work for women over sixty who need to work an hour or two a day to supplement their incomes. It is practically a free employment agency, and last year, women so registered made >IO,OOO through its efforts. One of the most needed additions to the 1925 budget was a visiting nurses’ association. The chest has made extended studies of social conditions here, and in this work, brought out Doctor Haven Emer son, of Columbia University, to make a survey of health and hos pital conditions. The visiting nurses’ association is one of the results of his report. The chest is also studying the single men problem, unemployment, and recreational needs. Any agency may join the Com munity Chest provided it can show that it does or will perform a needed service to the community, not already met by a constituent member. The organization now in cludes practically every agency that looks to the public "for funds. Any agency with sectarian affiliations is admissible, providing its major activities are concerned with social welfare, even if exclusively de nominational. Hopeful For Future. Welfare Institutions are also in cluded. Each institution has com plete independence in the manage ment of its own affairs and is re presented in the Council of Social and Health Agencies, of which Doctor Ray Lyman Wilbur, brother ,of the Secretary of the Navy, is president. Through this council, recommendations on the standard of service are made by the agencies to the Community Chest. Under the Chest plan, it has been found that particular friends of an organization have not lost interest in their pet charity, as donors may designate contributions to insti tutions as they desire, but if the amount exceeds the alloted budget, the surplus is turned to the gener al fund. The Community Chest organi zation is practically permanent, and so constantly increasing in effici ency. Very careful plans have been made for next year’s campaign, and the Chest executives are confident that they will reach whatever goal is set. i 1.0.0. F.

I. Walker. During this year 3,933 .vessels carrying 20,215,471 tons passed through the canal and paid |l&,u3a,- 441.18 irf tolls. During the Janie period last year 4,436 vessels car rying 22,617,874 tons paid >20,542,- 337.41. The decrease, Governor Walker reported, is due to the fact that oil tanker traffic has decreased 40 per cent this year from its peak eighteen months ago, when it averaged 1,000,000 tons a month. Owing to substantial increases in shipments of lumber, grains, ni trates, ores and other commodities, however, the decrease in oil ship ments has been largely offset. With the decrease in tanker ton nage and the increase in tonnage of other commodities, Governor Walker reported, canal traffic is gradually settling down to a nor mal basis where it is unlikely to be seriously affected by anything less than a world wide depression in shipping, such as occurred a few years ago following the world war.

Illi I I’L gAlfrT J W IiO CEOBES«= and Pere Marquette, is one of the romances of modern business. ThiA plan, which is now before the Interstate Commerce Commis sion, will give the two brothers control of more than 9,000 miles of railroad. Their success with the Nickel Plate venture is indicated by the fact that, under pressure from Henry W. Anderson, representing a group of minority stockholders of the Chesapeake and Ohio, who are opposing the proposed merger, O. P. Van Sweringen smilingly ad mitted they had made a paper profit of nearly $17,000,00<V on that transaction. Discussing their merger plan, “O. P.,” as he Is known to his as sociates, declared he and his brother have believed from the be ginning that they were engaged in a constructive -undertaking which will promote the public interest. It was in 1916 that the Van Swerlngens made a contract with the New York Cfentral for the pur chase from itof the majority stock of the New York, Chicago -and St. Louis Railroad, known as the Nickel Plate. This purchase comprised. 25,032 shares of the first preferred stock, 62,750 shares of the second preferred and 62,400 shares of the common. The nurchas® price was $8,500,000. “It has been the subject of some comment that when buying the railroad we did not have $8,500,000 or anything like, that amount and. therefore, we must have represent ed someone else," Van Sweringen su'd. “The favorite suggestion was that the ‘someone else was the New York Central, and that it did not really sell us the property at all, but had turned it over to us, and that we were the “litde brother” of that railroad. “That we did not have the $8,500,000 is all true, but we. did not require jt all at one time. Six and one-half million dollars of the purchase price was deferred over a period of years, with the stock pledged as collateral for its payment. The $2,000,000 cash-down payment, I assure you, was hard enough to raise.”

DISBARRED, H E ASKS SECOND HEARING Walter Holland Attacks Power of Court in General Term. Has New Evidence Walter Holland, who May 2 was disbarred from practising law in the District of Columbia by a court sitting in general term, Chief Jus tice McCoy presiding, yesterday filed a motion for a rehearing of the case. Holland claims that he has dis covered new evidence and declares that the court in general term had no power to act in the matter. He says the case must be tried by a special term of court. The, attorney claims that the court is without power to expel a member of the bar before written charges under oath against him are presented, distinctly stating the grounds of complaint. He declares that no such charges were made against him. “The court Is both unjust and unmerciful to allow the judgment disbarring him *to stand," says Holland. "And the further fact that the judgment of the court has already injured him in his pro fession so that he will never be able to regain his loss, as practi cally all his clients have loft him and his reputation as a member of the bar has been so injured that this court should not be so un just as to permit the judgment to stand—as the punishment already inflicted on him is enough to drive a man of less mentality. Insane. "It is bad enough to disbar a man for crime and misdemeanor, but to disbar him for conduct in volving moral turpitude—is certain ly not justice." Holland asks that the disbarment proceedings against him be set aside and that he be reinstated on the membership roll of practising attorneys. Holland is pleading his own case.

O O You Feel LOewl Uke Yourself Again MH HITS HfWREGKtD BANK Had Too Much Authority and Liftle Experience, Says Tennesee Banker JACKSON, Tenn., June 9.—After denying any guilt for several days in connection with the irregularities in accounts of the Peoples Savings Bank, which was closed last Friday by State Bank Examiner H. B. Oliver, Thomas B. Carroll, former vice president and cashier of the bank, today admitted "too much authority and little experience” re sulted in his making mistakes and improper entries on the bank’s books. "I just didn’t have enough cour age to admit the deeds,” Carroll said. I "The duties of managing a bank .jyere beyond my capacity, I wanted the bank to be a prosperous institution. Instead of admitting mis takes, I concealed them. The losses mounted so high I couldn’t take care of them. Too much authority and so little experience resulted in the losses for which I am entirely responsible.” Carroll now faces prosecution as the result of the disclosure of the >3oo,oodu shortage discovered elfrly last week. The bank iy now in the hands of a receiver and an investi *gatlon under District Attorney Gen eral Murray is being made inary to the hearing of evidence by the grand jury. The statement made by Carroll completely absolves Federal Dis trict Judge J. W. Ross, who has been under suspicion.

12 PARLEY ON DEBT TO BE HELD INN.Y. Mellon Will Meet Belgian Dip lomats at Summer Place at Southampton By H. K. REYNOLDS Southampton. N. Y.. on the •outheastern tip of Long Island, may be the scene of the Belgian- American debt negotiations this summer. Secretary of the Treasury M'llon. chairman of the American Debt Funding Commission, has estab lished a summer home at Southamp ton and the Belgian diplomats, when they come to the United States in July to make a debt settlement, probably will be in vited to be his guests there during the period of the negotiations. These tentative plans were out lined at the Treasury Department today. All debt negotiaUons here tofore have been held in Washing ton. There is nothing in the For eign Debt Act, however, which makes this necessary, although members of the debt commission have objected recently to sugges tions that they go abroad —to Lon don. for instance, ro discuss the funding of the French debt. One of the reasons was that Cab inet members who are ex-officio members of the debt commission could not spare the time away from Washington. It .s not expecte«l that they would object to South ampton as a meeting place, as it would be possible, in an emergency, for them Xo«commute between the Long Island resort and the Capital. It was pointed out at the Treasury today, in connection with Secretary Mellon's suggestion that the sizzling heat of Washington might deter any negotiations staged here, the Atlan tic breezes and the comparative isolation of Southampton from gov ernmental activities would operate to expedite the work of the confer ence and bring a speedy and amica ble adjustment of Belgian’s half billion dollar debt. That is the chief reason for. the desire to move the debt negotiations out of Washing ton. Officials fear that it will be so hot here in July that it would be •Ktremely difficult to arrive at an I Eh ~—W"" 7 —to IL z BBS Th.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES Thn National Daily TUESDAY, JUNE 9, 1925. STMTIOIPII ERIPS TM WORKERS Wages In Some Cases Report ed Below Minimum Cost of Living A general survey of labor condi tions in Germany since the war, made by the Bureau of Labor Sta tisticians of the Department of and made public today, shows the standard of living among the workers was low. Food, fuel and clothes were scarce at first and when imports began after the blockade ceased the low level of real wages prevented much im provement. Rents in general have been low because of Government rent restric tion. The working class, however, did not actually profit by the low rents, as in fixing wages the em ployer took into account such low rents. The working class also paid more in taxes in proportion to their income than the wealthy class, con tributing in 1923 and 1924 between 45 and 95 per cent of the income tax, as taxes on their wages were levied before the workers received them, thereby depriving the work ers of the advantage of the deprec iation of the currency which other taxpayers had. While nominal wages increased rapidly, real wages were much lower than before the war. The wages- of bricklayers, for example, which before the war had been 45 per cent higher than the mini mum cost of subsistence, were lower than the minimum cost of existence in twenty-eight of the sixty months from January, 1920, to December, 1924. The revolution of 1918 led to the general introduction of the 9-hour day by Government provisional or ders. In August, 1921, however, .em ployers, especially in the heavy in dustries, anxious to reduce costs by lengthening working hours, began a movement against the eight-hour day, and December 21, 1923, the Government issued a decree which, while it maintained the principle Daily Traffic Calendar FINES AND COLLATERAL FORFEITURES Total for the year $81,286 Total for yesterday 767 Grand total 1 82,053 YESTERDAY’S FINES AND FORFEITURES Albert Hager 75 Arthur Welham... 10 Benson E.

ROBBED OF S3O hi htuhe THEATER Mrs. Howard S. Cott Had Diz/y Spell, Due to Ex> cessive Heat During temporary loss of con setousrtess, when she was unable to detail the actions of some unknown person who sat directly behind hei 'in a downtown theater, Mrs. How ard S. Gott, of 3631 Grant road northwest, reported the loss of her purse containing over; S3O in cash and valuable papers. Although her dizzy spell may have been attributable to the heat of the afternoon on which she at tended the performance, Mra Gott is convinced that a strange, uniden tified person, who sat behind her for only a. few minutes, may have been aware of her loss. Upon reporting her loss to the management, Mrs. Gott said the ushers admitted that a similar loss was sustained by a patron on the preceding day and that the purse was later found rifled in another part of the theater. Mrs. Gott and the attendants searched for her pocketbook to no avail. Mrs. Gott declared she noticed no peculiar odors in the theater, but declared that as her left arm was resting on the back of her chair, it "coufd have been possible for someone to administer a shot of drugs.** Police have been unable to find any clues of the robber.

POISON GAS USED IN WAR ON WOODCHUCKS JdIDDLETOWN, N. Y„ June 9. The farmers of Sullivan County are determined to exterminate the wood chucks, which have wrought and are still causing great damage. Demonstrations in killing them with calcium cyanide are being given. The chemical is put into a woodchuck run and all the openings are closed. A poisonous gas forms, which kills the animals trapped in the run. The process is repeated whenever runs are found open. QUACKS START ILLS Credit Men Hear of the Sys tem Employed In Agricul tural Department Senator Simeon D. Fess, of Ohio, strongly condemned bureaucracy and “commission government” in the United States, fostered by the de mand for legislative panaceas, at the morning session of the National Association of Credit Men's thirtieth annual convention, in the May flower Hotel, today. While defending, in some cases, the regulation or abolishment of certain business practices by the government, Senator Fess deplored the fact that “in the past twenty five years, government in business has built up a bureaucratic systen. at Washington that 18 irkaome, if not dangerous.” He pointed out that men who tc day are “loudest in their criticisms of our bureaucratic government,* led the Congressional work tocreau these commissions. “LefW»tfre Quacka. w Senator Fess described the work ing methods of legislative quacks who purvey political cure-alls to the tax-harried voters, steering them away from “the slow and some times brutal” economic answer tu their money problems. "A bßgislatlve remedy is at once recommended and promulgated by a systematic propaganda,’’ explained Senator Fess, “which frequently convinces the lawmaker that it should be at once enacted, becaus. the entire country is back <4 it. So the statute is enacted, a new bureau created and the enforcement is provided by the appointment of the necessary force.*' Senator Fess held up the Depart ment of Agriculture as an example of the growth of bureaucracy in the Government. “It was created q_bout thirty five years ago with a small ap propriation,” he said. “It has steadily grown until it has today the largest group of ‘expert* em ployes of any agency in the world.” He told of the vast increase in appropriations necessary for the operation of the department, the numerous new bureaus and offices created in recent years within the department and fourteen new laws enacted by the last Congress,” all strongly urged by the agricultural interests of the country.” Congress In Muddle. The speaker pictured the muddle in which Congress is plunged, with each session, confronting thousands of proposed new bills from every possible source, many aimed toward a single goal. He declared that this attitude of looking for ready made remedies for economic ills has been fostered by the mushrooming of bureaus and Governmental agencies. “In this way,” he said,” the country has been led to look to Washington, and to hold the Gov ernment responsible for the ills of human society. Long ago, the Gov ernment ceased to be an institution to be served, but rather an agency to be sought for favors, which are translated into rights to be de manded by the citizen.” Alexander Wall Talks. Alexander Wall, secretary of the Robert Morris Associates, bankers' unit of the association, explained in detail a mathematical analysis of business, taking for example a recent research in the wholesale grocery industry, made by hia or ganization. The demonstration of "credit chemistry” was designed to furnsih a working basis for credit men ui studying the true worth of bus. ness houses. In response to questions -from the delegates, Mr. Wall stated that further surveys are in prospect, and in time the system will be released for general use. At the request of J. H. Tregoe. executive manager of the associa tlon, the convention adopted an amendment to the constitution and by-laws, under the provisions of which future investigations and prosecutions will be made under a division, to be known as the De partment of Credit Justice for the Suppression of Commercial Crime, Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover added his greetings to •'a e addresses of welcome, toward tXie close of the morning session.
