Lotave Said to Have Had Gas Tube in Mouth—Left Notes of Despair. iy the Associated Press, NEW YORK, December 27.—Carl Lotave, internationally known as & portrait painter, was found dead in his bed In his studio here today. A sas tube was in the artist'’s mouth, a hospital orderly, who had attend- ed Mr. Lotave since July 80, when s underwent a serious operation, told the police. Because of clroumstances sur- rounding the finding of the body and 4 report that a physician had certi- fied cancer as the cause of death. Assistant Medical Examiner Dr. Thomas A. Gonzales ordered the hody taken to the morgue for an autopsy. Notes Found om Table. On a table several notes were found. In one Lotave asked that Iiarold S. Archor, an undertaker, be notified, and also that word be sent to Dr. Francis T. Miller, historlan and writer, whom he had long known. o his friend Mr. Lotave wrote: “From where I lay at the bottom of the abyss fighting the devilfish, in whose strange grip I am held, hope- less, hopeless, alone, I can almost =es you on the hilltop. T can almost hear your excellent advice as to how to look the monster in the eye and thus conquer.” Found Door Locked. The letter was signed with the in- tial L and was dated “Christmas uay.” Tho orderly found the studio door ocked when he arrived at the house. After knocking for some time he notified the policeman on post. They broke open the door and found the artist dead in bed. The police and Dr. Gonzales were notified. When Dr. Gonzales arrived at the studio In the late afternoon he found no one in charge of tha body. He telephoned the police and lack of in- formation from them, he said, caused him to investigate the death. The situation was further complicated, Dr. Gonzales said, when he learned that some person had issued a cer- tificate of death attributing cancer as the cause. Dr. Gonzales sald he had heard that the health department had acted upon t crtificate by issuing a permit »r the removal of the body. Be- use of this, he said, he had ordered the body removed to the morgue and ountermanded the removal permit. The phases of the case, he said, was matter for Investigation by the lealth department. Born in Sweden. Mr. Lotave was born in Sweden, and rding to the police report was 5 vears old. In his youth he was \ friend of Anders Zorn, the famous Swedish painter, and studied under him. Ife came to this country to paint the portraits of Americans who won fame in the war. It was said 4t he had done port s of Gen. ffre, King Albert, Premier Venezelos, Gen. Pershing and Gen. Hindenburg. He did the mural paintings in the State house in New Mexico, and he was a friend of Gov. Otero of New Mexico. He w: a special painter of the American Indians for the Bureau of Ethnology of the Smithsonlan In- stitution at Washington, and his work for the bureau took him to the Indlan reservations of the West and the old Aztec regions. According to his friends, he leaves no relatives. The friends say that after the opera- tion on his throat, last July, Mr. l.otave improved for only a short tir RUN RUNNERS PAY DEAR FOR PROFITS Energy of U. S. Coast Guard and Guns of Pirates Put Crews in Danger. Ly Cable to The Star and New York World. LONDON, Dscember 27.—The joys d perils of bootlegging in “Rum w' are elequently described by the crew of the British steamer Browton, which has just returned to the Thames after “turning an honest penny” by contravening the liquor laws of the United States, the profit being then $2,100,000. The Browton left Newcastle some three months ago with a cargo of 60,000 cases of liquor, which had cost in Britaln roughly $1,250,000, and the proceeds of the sale totaled over $4,- ©00.000. The crew confess, however, it was not all honéy, or just the raking in of dollars, as there were many perils, causing weary weeks of anxiety. Careful Tn Dealings. According to several of the officers (who, for obvious reasons, do not wish thelr names given too great publicity), United States Government agents tried to entrap them into sell- ing lquor “over the rall” in order to render the ship liable to seizure. The Browton's force refused to have any- thing to do with anybody but re- spectable rum-runners and escaped search or seizure. One terrifying experience they had was a fire at sea, which took them a weck to subdue. A dozen times the vessel with its inflammable cargo looked like being lost, but by Her- culean efforts the crew got the flames under. Traces of incendiaries were alleged to have been discovered in the form of oll-soaked beams which caught fire hidden underneath the coal and distributed among the liquor cases. Armed to Fight Pirates. While in rum row the crew were leavily armed o defeat the attempts of hi-jackers to pirate their cago, and #ithough details are not casy to ob- 1ain, it is apparent that more than one brisk encounter with the latest disciples of Capt. Kidd occurred be- fore they were left to trade in peace. Once connection was established with the proper consignees business pro- ceeded briskly, though there were ny interruptions owing to the en- ergy of the United States preventive service Once a revenue cutter bore down on the Browton during unloading vroceedings and the bootleggers' ves- sels promptly cast off and made for home. The revenue cutter went in pursuit and captured the largest after seven shots, which holed her adly. Altogether the Browton had to sta. in rum row two months and 10 days before her holds were cleared. Dur- ing that time they saw many excit- ing encounters between hi-jackrs and well protected bootleggers and skirmishes with the revenue officer: One ship nearby, a Norweglan, wa temiptéd to sell liquor over the rail to preventative agents and was ‘promptly seized by the United States officlals. less THE SUNDAY ‘The Brownley Investment Co., will erect this four-story and messanine building at Twelfth and G streets, The ofice of the Footer Dye Works, that formerly occupied the site, is now being torn down, Downtown Count of Pedestrians Tomorrow, to Be Aided by Scouts If you walk along the streets of downtown Washington tomorrow and find that in every block a Boy Scout or some other person looks hard at you and registers you with a click on a little machine, don't be alarmed. You are not being trailed by secret service agents, but merely being register- ed as a pedestrian by the officlal counters placed on all the down- town blocks by the Washington Association of Building Owners and Managers in an effort to find out the busy spots in the city's business section. Approximately 125 persons will be used in making this pedestrian trafic count. Every means will be taken to make the count at a time when pedestrian trafic is normal. As the trend during the period that workers are golng to and from their offices is well known, the count will be made in the morning at an hour after em- ploves are at work and in the afternoon for an hour beforo the Government departments let out. RED PANIC FAILS T0 IMPRESS PARIS Average Frenchman Not as Frightened as Herriot Would Have Believed. By the Associated Press. PARIS, December 27.—That near- panic over Communism, which Pre- mier Herriot told the newspaper men gathered at his bedside had selzed upon the country, seemingly has not been strikingly apparent to “the average Frenchman,” as M. Herrlot has christened the man in the street If this man has acquaintances among the Russlan colony, which seems to be composed of a repre- sentative section of the pre-war St. Petersburg aristocracy, headed by grand dukes, grand duchesses and princes, he certainly will have heard tales of woe from some of them who had miraculous escanes from the Rus- san revolution, and succeeded In reach- ing Berlin just as the revolutionary troubles broke out there, and, perhaps excusably, now cannot be convinced that a similar experience is not awaiting them in France. He will have found the theaters and music halls just as crowded and the restaurants just as full as ever, but at the same time he will have met representatives of those Paris bourgeois who always are ready to take fright, and who, for instanc always are sure that each “May day will see the end of law and order and who formerly dreaded the Soclallsts exaotly as today they dread the Communists. In these circles he will have been told stories of military preparations by the government; of machine guns secretly placed at commanding points in Parls and how a certain hotel which a fortnight ago had not a room empty now has 500 rooms vacant. There are not many hotels in Parls containing 500 rooms, but had the man needed to look for a room he would have found some difficulty in locating this particular hotel. The man In the street also will have heard the story of the American woman, extremely rich, as most American women seem to be in the belief of the French, who called at a jeweler’s in ths Rue de la Paix. She wished to buy something choice for Christmas, whereupon the salesman told her how sorry he was, but that he had nothing interesting to show her, because all the finest things in the shop had been sent to London as a precaution against the coming rev- olution. Perhaps the highest flight of imag- fnation has been reached in a story in circulation, not connected with Communism, but with Premier Her- riot himself, who must have enjoyed a good laugh when it reached him. The story has as jmgredients the pre- mier's lame leg, a wondrously beau- tiful Russian princess, whose ac- quaintance M. Herriot made during his visit to Russia; a revolver, and then a bullet to replace the mysteri- ous microbe which is reported to have infected the premier's leg. BQY HIT BY AUTO. Probably Fatally Injured When Knocked From Bicycle. P. Wharton, a messenger boy, of 715 Sixth street, was probably fatally in- jured when an automobfle operated by William F. Downey of 1013 Seventeenti street, collided with his bicycle late last night at Connecticut avenue and R street. Downey picked up the boy and rushed him to Emergency Hospital, where it was found his skuil had been fractured, several ribs crushed and he was suffer- ing from internal injurles. At the hos- pital, early this morning, it was said that young Wharton was dying. Down- ey was taken into custody by police df the third precinct and later released on bis personal recognizance, pending the outcome of the case. Girl Bandit Aids Hold-Up. KANSAS CITY, Kan., December 27. A bobbed-haired young woman aided a man companion in holding up and robbing James Butter, Commercial Na- | was tional Bank messenger, of $1,600 today He was taking’ the-money to'the -bink: from the Cudahy Packing Company. It is hoped that the count will reveal just where the busy spots in pedestrian trafic in the down- town sectlon are. There have been several vehicular counts, but no attempt has heretofore been made to find out which are the busy downtown blocks. Those in charge expect to show many inter- esting facts that will help to solve the safety problem for pedes- trians. It is also probable that the count will show the need for a rearrangement of the present parking space. In order to get accurate figures, the Boy Scouts, who will glve their services, and other counters will be statloned in the middle of each block rather than at the In- tersections of the streets. Each counter will be equipped with a hand numbering machine and a chart. The entire downtown section of the city and Connecticut avenue as far as Dupont Circle will be di- vided into elght sections. Calcium Sulphate Found in Salt, But I¥’s Not So Serious Persons who have detected in- soluble calcium sulphate in their table salt would do well to make objection thereto right now or for- ever hold their peace. Otherwise the Bureau of Chemistry of the Department of Agriculture will be content to let matters rest as they are, In so far as salt is con- cerned. At first, it appears, the bureau got “all het up” about the dis- covery that the public has been eating sack after sack of salt with anhydrite tendencies, and there ensued hurried conferences to find who was responsible for letting the national salt supply stray from the” strajght and narrow path. Finally it was announced that “the bureau recognizes the probability that the presence in 1t of calcium sulphate in the difficult soluble anhydrite form was not considered at the time the present standard was devised.” At any rate, salt connoiseurs had falled to come forward with com- plaints about the suspicious se: soning, so the bureau cooled down somewhat and announced it would take no exception to table salt containing “not more than 1.4 per cent of calcium suplhate, Including the anhydrite form, and not more than 1 per cent of matters inso- luble in water other than cal sulphate, and otherwise comp with the official standard, reconsideration of the official standard by the joint committee on definitions and standards.” So that’'s that. ing pending BETTER CLASS GIRLS FLOCKING TO STAGE Berlin Choruses No Longer Made Up of Maids of Low Degree. Correspondence of the Associated Press. BERLIN, November 28.—The daughter of a German admiral promi- nent in the world war, daughters of school principals, physicians, lawyers and musical conductors, and wives of thoroughly respectable bookkeepers and office employes figure among the chorus girls of the musical comedies and revues now running in Berlin. They bear evidence to the fact th; the day is past when the chorus girl was looked upon as a preson of doubt- ful morals on whom adventurous cavaliers could lavish their atten- tions. So marked has become tha change that German ushers who are caught answering questions as to the home addresses of chorus girls, or who ac- cept the mission of carrying notes or floral offerings from theater-going men to members of the chorus are dismis d without further ado. Advertisements for positions in the chorus nowadays bring out a large number of responses from the edu- rated middle class. onomic dis- tress compels many young women who would formerly have remained at home waiting for a husband to engage In some cdlling. To some girls the idea of .spending their lives behind a typewriter does not appeal. If they have a good figure and are graceful in their movements they see no reason why they should not make capital out of these attributes and accomplishments. Given a graceful figure and agility, Berlin theater directors find that th girl of education usually advances much more quickly than does the girl whose only qualification is good looks. Many young women who were driven to the stage chorus for pure- ly ecdnomic reasons have developed into first-class stars who now would nlot think of giving up their profes- sion.

MARYLAND OFFICER INJURED IN CHASE Motor Cycle Policeman Runs Into Pole After Alleged Liquor Car. Letoy Smith of the Maryland State police force, was injured near Hyatts- ville last night when his motor cycle crashed into a telephone pole after a spectacular chase of two alleged whisky laden cars during which twelve shots were exchanged through a smoke screen set up by the fugitiv Prior to the arrest Smith arrested one of a trio of cars on a charge of reckless driving that had crashed into another vehicle. Examination of the car showed that it contalned 54 gallons of corn whisky. After handcuffing the negro driver of the car that was taken into custody to a white man who volun- teered to look after him Smith with Officers Garrett started in pursuit. The officers gave chase to the other cars, which immediately gave forth a dense smoke screen and the occupants began to fire upon the officers, the policemen returned fire. Crowded Into Pole. The fugitive drivers ran up a dirt road and crowded Smith’s motor cycle into a telephone pole as he came along- side. Garrett stopped to assist Smith and then gave up the chase notifying the Washington and Maryland police, Upon their return they found that the white man and the colored prisoner to whom he was handccuffed had dis- appeared. At a late hour last night, Maryland and District police on the lookout, re- ported no trace had been found of any of the fugitives. RADID ENCOURAGES MUSIGANS IN AL Performances of Men in Missouri Prison Became Fa- mous Throughout Land. BY S. R. WINTERS. It John Bunyan had been confined in the State prison of Missourl in the twentieth century, instead of being thrown into a dungeon in England in the seventeenth century, he could not | have pictured the iough of De- |spond.” Instead, he might have told {of the influence of radlo upon lives whose Hl-advised acts had brought them within prison walls. If you are ever in Jefferson City. Mo., and should observe a motor truck conveying a large group of prisoners along the streets, do not mistake the significance of the scene. Offhand, you are likely to conclude that these convicts are being transferred to other places or quarters to complete their tenure of prison service. The mistake is a natural one, since the procedure has been reversed. A few moments before, the big iron gates at the State prison had swung open and then closed, to permit the depar- ture of 30 inmates of the prison, with the State capital, strange to say, as their destination. The distance between the State {prison and the radio broadcasting sta- tion, WOS, is only seven blocks. The occupants of this motor truck com- prise the Missourl State Prison Band or Missourl State Prison Orchestra. In both instances the members are convicts serving sentences ranging from two years to life terms. They are musicians, and although their liberties are restricted for having committed crimes, thelr latent talents have been permitted free oxpression. The privilege of broadcasting music fortnightly from a radlo station oper- ated by the Missouri State Marketing Bureau is in furtherance of the human- {itarian policy of a State to redeem to lives of usefulness persons who have committed ill-advised acts A complete transformation of scenery and environment is that of a prison” and the studio of.a radio { broadcasting station. The former is 4 denjal of all that mankind craves: the studio of a radlo broadcasting station, on the other hand, Is an outlet to all civilization—a universal medium of contact with the mansion and hovel. Among the cards and let- ters, telegrams and long-distance tele- phone messages that pour in. com- plimentary of the fortnightly pro- grams of the Missouri State Prison Band, are such expressions: “Take the band out of jail—they ought to be In Heaven,” and, “if I weve gov- ernor of the State I would open the gates of the prison to them tonight after ftheir wonderful and inspiring concert.” (Copyright, 1924, by Popular Radio, Tne:) S FOUR KILLED BY—GAS.

Correspondence of The Star and New York World. BRUSSELS, Belgium, December 19. —A strange and mysterfous affair holds Brussels in excitement. . Re- ently the police arrested in the sleepy suburb of Forest a woman of singular character and antecedents. She was In the habit of describing herself as a pilgrim and apostle of Christ, and a_ performer of miracu- lous cures. She Invariably appeared in the streets dressed as a Boy Scout, shod in riding boots and golden spurs. She—or he—was known by her friends George Maresco, but her real name is Bertha Mrazek, and the story of her lite, as far as it is known at present, makes strange reading. Born in Brussels 34 years ago of & Czech father and a Belglan mother, she began at an early age to dance in a circus, became a great horsewoman and finally & tamer of tigers. She was further known as a lyrical artist, a painter. During the war she acted as nurse in a Belglan prisoners’ hos- pital’ under the German military authority, but she apparently suc- ceeded in satisfying the Belglan authorities as to the purity of her In- tentfons, for after the war she be- came attached to the Belgian mili- tary headquarters, and was sent to Germany as a secret agent to report on military formations in that coun- try. Cured Before Shrine. While on that mission In Germany. she fell {11, so much so that she ac- tually obtained an invalidity pension from the military authoritles. And this {8 where the strangest part of her story begins. She was struck down by paralysis. Doctors declared her case as hopeless. For a year she lay in the hospital. Then, being a devout Catholic, she expressed a de- sire to try a pllgrimage to Lourdes. That being too expens she chose the next best course, had herself car- ried on' a stretcher to the church in Hal, a small town near Brussels, ac- companied by the priest of Forest. There in that church in front of the image of the Holy Virgin she began to raise heartrending cries, then got up and calmly walked up the steps of the altar. She was completely cured. The miracle was performed! Her fame spread like wildfire among her friends and neighbors, until the ecclesiastical authorities felt the matter had gone too far, and ex- communicated her. Nothing daunted, she proceeded to found a new relig- ion, proclaimed herself the priest and apostle of Christ, set up a church in her own suburban house where she administered service in sultable garb, and promised miraculous cures to the ick in body or soul The number of her faithful grew. and included men and women of all classes including the nobility and the church. To some she exhibited scars on her own body, for others she con- | tented hersclf with putting on a man- tle she pretended to have received from Miss Edith Cavell. Gifts poured in, and the “saint” prospered exceed- until the family of one of her faithful, a young woman, who, it is alleged, had spent a fortune on the apostle, her chapel and her holy works, Informed the police. ‘This singular woman is now in prison awaiting trial.
