The plan, drafted' by General L. C. Andrews, field marshal of prohibition, and formally approved by President Coolidge, divides the United States into twenty-two en forcement districts. Directing activities in each dis trict will be a prohibition admin istration, “selected for personal fitness, executive and business ability,” according to Mellon’s an nouncement. The reorganization will be ef fective August 1. Haynes’ Power Cut. Apparently Andrews' plan re- 1 moves most of the authority held by Prohibition Commissioner Roy A. Haynes, Mellon’s statement de claring that “all control of alcohol, except the collection of Federal tax, is made the sole responsibility of prohibition administrators represent ing the Commissioner of Internal .Revenue.” No personnel changes have been announced so far. The Federal districts will be Ixiunded exclusively by Federal judicial district lines, their size having been determined by the amount of permissive work to be 1 done and the difficulties of en forcement tn be met, due to local condition® and public sentiment. “The plan is a decentralization with a view to economy and ef ficiency, permitting the use of a smaller personnel with higher qual ifications.” "Mellon declared.

HuspitaL Angel of Providence’ Loved by Patients They called her “The Angel of Providence.” Thousands of former patients at Providence Hospital who, during the thirty years of Sister Cephas’ service, had felt her cooling hand on their fevered temples, today mourned the tragedy which snuffed out her life. "She was a saint, if there ever 4 was one,” one of Sister Cephas’ former patients declared, as the tears coursed unrestrained down Lis cheeks. Others felt the same way about it and said so. Sister Cephas felt the call of the religious life when she was but slip of a girl. The ways of the world—its pleasures and frivolities —found little response in the heart of this godly woman. She forsook “the world” for "the veil" and was educated for her life of service in a Baltimore convent. Favorite With Patients. Thirty years ago Sister Cephas was transferred to the Providence, Hospital in Washington. She soon became a prime l favorite with the patients and rapidly won for her self the endearing appellation of “The Angel of Providence." Like all her sisters of "the veil,” hardships meant nothing to Sister Cephas. Day and night she would watch beside the bed of some fever stricken patient. Os late drears, Sister Cephas was stricken with partial blindness. 1 But her affliction seemed only to i make her smile just a bit sweeter I —her caresses a mite more tender, if that were possible.

EDITION SISTER CEPHAS, ANGEL OF PROVIDENCE, 15 BOOTLEG MM The life of an angel of mercy was ruthlessly snuffed out today when Sister Cephas, for. thirty years a Sister of Charity at Providence Hospital, was killed By a rum-running motor car, chased by police, crash- ing into the sedan in which she was riding. In the car was another sister and their chauffeur. The other sister escaped injury, but the chauffeur was badly injured. He will recover, however, phy sicians believe. The occupants of the rum-running car, Clifton Young, colored, 1010 Delaware avenue southeast, and Estelle Robinson, colored, 30 G street south west, were arrested.

SHEPHERD GOES ON STAND IN HIS TRUE He. Denies All Accusations in Short Examination by His Attorney CHICAGO, June 23—William Darling Shepherd, charged with the murder of his millionaire foster son, William Nelson Mc- Clintock, today took the witness stand in his own defense. A crowd, which had begun to gather long before today’s ses sion started and which battled for admission to the courtroom, strained forward as the defendant, his face wan with the prison pal lor and his iron gray hair waved back from his forehead, mounted the steps to the witness chair. He looked coldly and dispas sionately as the eager faces turned toward him for a moment and then settled back for the direct j examination of Attorney William I S. Stewart, chief of his counsel. J Denies Poison Charge. j “You are charged here with ad-1 ministering various forms of poi- son,” Stewart intoned in a loud, clear voice. “Did you administer I poison?” i "I did not,” Shepherd repllel steadily. Again and again, as the attorney went slowly through the various charges in the indictment, came that ringing denial. “I did not- This constituted the burden of the direct testimony, a simple af firmation of his previous state ments that he had not conspired to obtain William Nelson McClin tock’s fortune by his death, had not innoculated him with typhoid germs, and had, when the boy was stricken with the disease, done everything within his power to bring him back to health. Denies Writing Letter. j Shepherd also denied that he ever had written a letter to the National University of Sciences, where the State contends he ap- plied for a course in bacteriology, that he did not know John P. Mar chand, salesman for the school, nor Charles C. Falman, its head, and bis co-defendant in the present case. Never until the present case (Continued on Page 2, Column 3.) Proceeding at a leisurely pace north in Second street southeast, the sisters* car came to the comer of Seo ond and D streets- Travelling east in D street came a big Packard car, its cut-out wide open and the driver hitting it up to the sixty-mile-an-hour mark. A few hundred feet be hind came the motor car of Policemen Howard E. Ogle and F. A. Schenck, of the Fourth precinct. Impact Is Terrific. The sisters’ car reached the intersection of Second and D streets at the same time as the bootleg car. The im pact was terrific. The Dodge sedan was hurled up on the sidewalk, snapping off a lampost like a splinter. Sister Cephas was thrown through the plate-glass win dow in the side of the sedan to the sidewalk. Ladson was catapulted through the windshield, alighting on his head. Sister Agnes, however, was uninjured beyond gen eral cuts and bruises. Dies As Priest Prays. Father John Carroll Moore, of St. Peter’s Catholic Church, which is near the scene of the accident, heard the crash and came running. Homer W. Snyder, of 1116 Vir ginia avenue southwest, an em ploye of The Washington Times, was another who hurried to the rescue of the injured. Father Moore administered the Church to Sister Cephas, at the hospital. She died with a smile as Father Moore’s lips moved in prayers for the dying. Woman Caught In Race. Ladson was rushed to Providence Hospital. He was unconscious and was said to be suffering from con -ussion of the brain. After the crash, which spun the x>otleg car around, the Robinson woman ran up an alley, closely pur sued by Policeman Schenck. She vas captured. Young, the driver of the rum running car, made no attempt to run away, and awaited nonchalant ly the arrival of Policeman Ogle. Oslo took chances wMh tho

Young and Mrs. Robinson were questioned separately at Police Headquarters by Captain Albert J. Headley, Inspector Grant, Detective Arthur Scrivener, and Policemen Ogle and Schenck. Both prisoners denied there was liquor in the car. Ogle, however, declared he saw the woman throw out several glass jars, and that .the course of the car revealed a trail of broken glass. Young and the Robinson woman were token back to the Fourth precinct station house where a technical charge of "investigation” was lodged against them until the police arrange to make other charges. According to Policeman Ogle, the chase of the bootlegger continued for several blocks before the acci dent occurred. All along the route of chase the woman dropped bottles containing liquor on the street, the police said, while Young "whooped it up” at sixty miles an hour. Sister Cephas was one of the most beloved Sisters of Charity in this city. She was about sixty three years old, and had been on the nursing staff of Providence Hospital for about thirty years. Sister Cephas was sixty-two years olds, and was a native of Balti more. She took the veil while a girl in her teens, and was assigned to the staff of Providence Hospital. In Baltimore all records of her early life have been lost, and it was Impossible today to trace mem bers of her family. Sister Agnes, although much younger, was xfne of the favorites of patients at the hospital. Both sisters are from Baltimore. Police said the Robinson woman’s husband was killed several months ago in a motor car accident in southeast Washington. MISSWIiI TO OUITPDST (Continued from First Page.) effect, however, has yet been made. The sweeping change in the social routine of the White House is understood to be the plan of. Colonel Sherwood A. Cheney, the i President’s military aide, who took over this position as successor to. Colonel C. O. Sherrill several mdnths ago. The exact reasons for Miss Har-I lan’s retirement have not yet been made known. Whether there was any disagree- ment between her and Mrs. Coolidge or friction over the management of social events has not been dls closed. Miss Harlan so far has not isrued any statement and probably will continue in her position until the fall. J Speculation became ‘current in Washington several days qgo when 1 it became known that Miss Harlan would accompany Mrs. Coolidge to Swampscott. Miss Hanan has been at the White House ever since the first days of the Harding administration. t SISTETIEPHAS WELLLOVED (Continued from First Page) with head bowed in contemplation, but with the same sweet smile curving her lips.

GOOLIDGES OFF Fonsiin ■TUN President and Party Depart by Special Train for Rest in Massachusetts By GEORGE E. DURNO. President Coolidge left Wash ington this afternoon for a two month vacation on the north shore of Massachusetts. Golf bags and tennis rackets were conapicious by their ab-> sence in so far as the Presidential baggage was concerned. Mr. Cool idge accepted the offer of a' “summer White House” at Swamp scott from his old friend Frank W. Stearns with the sole idea I of getting away from officiall Washington to a spot where he could enjoy a complete rest—and the accepted forms of summer j refer eat ion do not appeal to the President as restful.

It is due to reach Salem, Mass., I early tomorrow morning, from, whence a four-mlle auto trip will be made to Swampscott and "White Court,” the Coolidge summer real-i dence. Accompanying the President and Mrs. Coolidge were Secretary to the President and Mrs. Everett Sanders, Colonel S. A. Cheney, military aide; Major J. F.

The journey to New England :s be ing made aboard a Pennsylvania rail road special composed of the Presl dent's car, a press car, an observa tion car, a dining car and a bag gage car. Will Escape Humidity- Aside from a desire to get away from the terrific humidity of Washington summers and a general need of rest, the President is anx -1 ious to be away from the Capital while the White House is under going its annual repairs. Immediately upon his departure, workmen started extensive renova tion and refurnishing. The principal work to be done Includes reconstruction of the ele vator, installation of a new vacuum cleaning system and general re furnishing of the draperies and hangings. It is estimated that the entire 150.000 appropriation allotted by Congress will be utilized In the work. The now famous White House roof, which has been reported to every Congress for the past five years as "unsafe and dangerous," will not be touched owing to fail ure of the last Congress to make an appropriation.

Surprise was expressed at last night’s meeting of the Civic Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce that although th* number of school build ings in this city has been steadily increased and all schools have been reported crowded to capacity the recent census of school children re- r ported a total of approximately 200 less than was the case five years v ago when the last census was taken. Since the State pays the city 17 for the, maintenance of each child in the public schools this means n loss of between five and ten thousand dollars, to the city within the next five years, at which time another census will be taken.

COOLIDGE WILL WORK FOR $290,000,000 SURPLUS NEXT YEAR TAX SLASH PLEDGED BI HIM Relentless Economy Must Be Practiced, He Tells Chiefs of Government With the surplus in the Fed eral Treasury steadily mounting, the way for further tax reduction is in sight, President Coolidge told the nation last night in his ad dress at the semi-annual business meeting of the Government in Memorial Continental Hall. The surplus for the fiscal year just closing will be approximately $200,000,000, and for the next year is estimated at not less than $290,- 000,000, despite the substantial re duction in taxes that has already taken place.

Other Reductions Coming. •There are still reductions to be made," declares the President. "There are yet wastes to be elimina ted. I expect to prosecute a cam paign of relentless economy. You must not, you cannot fail." The President set the maximum mark for expenditures during the coming fiscal year, exclusively of the postal service, at >3,375,000.000. This is a saving of >125,000,000 over the expenditures for the cur rent year. General Herbert, M.

PAINLEVE FACES NEW CRISES IN VOTE Socialists, by 111 to 12, With draw Promise to Support the Ministry By International News Service. PARIS, June 23. —The cabinet formed by Premier Painlevfc faced a new crisis when the socialist party in caucus today voted 111 to 12 to withdraw its formal promise to sup port the Painleve ministry. The Socialist opposition to Pain leve and the Cabinet developed out of dissatisfaction with the ministry’s Moroccan campaign. Added tv. this discontent is the antagonism which Finance Minister Caillaux had aroused among the So cialists by his flat rejection of the Socialists pet capital levy scheme to stabilize French finances. The action today by the Socia’fsts was accepted in parliamentary circles as foreshadowing either the even tual reorganization of the Painleve cabinet on Painleve’s resignation. The Socialists will continue to support any acts of the Pain’eve cabinet which conform with the Socialist r’-alform. The budget debate tomorrow is expected to show the f’.ll effect of the action Truck Farms Hit CONSHOHOCKEN.

Second installment of the thrilling narrative of Captain Skoal Skuttel, special corre spondent with the Amundsen ex pedition. Chapter VI. "Wake up," cried Amundsen at me, prodding my recumbent form with an icepick. *‘l didn’t hear the alarm go off,’’ I replied, sleepily. "Am I late?" "Can the gay repartee," or dered our captain. "We're going to chop our planes out of this ice.” "Before breakfast?" "By Thor and Odin," explained Amundsen, "I had forgotten breakfast. But that’s the way with us explorers. We’d rather explore than eat." So I alighted from the plane, picked up my trusty rifle and started across the ice for break fast. Suddenly, from behind an Iceberg, I heard a scream and the sound of cleats cleatlng over the frozen floor of the world. I lifted the rifle to my shoulder and took aim. One of our sailors, Olaf Outloud'by name, was being chased by a huge walrus, who was gaining on the .hapless wretch by leaps and bounds. The gun crashed its dread message through the Arctic stillness, and the wklrus bit the dust. That is, if .there was any dust. There ■wasn’t. Olaf ran to me, and knelt by my side, looking for a garment hem to kiss. "Massa,” sobbed the .faithful servitor, who was Indeed a child at heart, "mah life am yourn.” "Stay,” I said, nobly. "Get up, by faithful Olaf, and stop slob bering. That walrus is our break fast.” We had scarcely begun work on the huge mammal with our skinning knives when we heard a low snarl nearby. Turning, we stared, with growing fear. Into the red, angry eyes of a wild Bering chipmunk. He sprang... (To be continued again.) The funniest Government re port we have happened upon in a long time is that one issued by the Department of Agriculture on the investigation into the sale of meat. The local references (uncomplimentary) in this report aroused the ire of our generally genial health officer, Doctor Wil liam C. Fowler. As other Government reports, it is utterly without intentional humor, but more full of unpre meditated drollery than any we have seen for years. Government investigation re ports are particularly funny when they tell what women know, and what they don’t, what they should do and how they fail to do it. Thus, the report at hand states: "Housewives are poor judges of meat, for it was determined that they know little of the vaWous cuts of meat and have extremely hazy ideas of quality." Ye Ed remembers a certain very little boy who used to carry his mother’s market basket (it seemed enormous in those days) around the*noisy, bright, smelly aisles of Center Market some years ago. Out of the recollec tion of long waits at meat stands, while his lady mother examined with deliberation the various cuts displayed, that same little boy didn’t think that her ideas of quality were extremely hazy. And Ye Ed will bet that there are many, many other former market-basket carriers who will back him up with their own reminiscences. Turtle Comes Back i WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., June 28. —Forty years ago William H. Sweely, of this city, then a lad of Newberry, found a turtle near his home. He carved "W.

On the bottom was Mr. Sweely’s inscription, the signature and date being plainly visible. The turle has been turned over to Mr. Sweely. TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 1925.

Scopes on charges of teaching evo lution in violation of the Tennessee law is a hew kind of a legal battle for Mr. Darrow.

Darrow was the guest of honor at a banquet given last night by the Dayton Progressive Club. He delivered an address there on his "Life of Chance" —explaining how chance played such a big part in the Ilves of human beings.
