The official announcement yester- day by Archbishop Curley of Balti- more in reference to a punch-board system reputedly operated by the Carmelite Fathers of Washington to raise funds for various purposes was termed as “an unfortunate mistake” by the fathers at the Carmelite House, 150 Rhode Island avenue. It was explained that the fathers had not authorized any punch board or card system, that they had not ap- proved it, nor had they received any money from it. It was also explained that there was a shrine to the Little Flower of Jesus at the retreat house here, and that it had been authorized by the late Cardinal Gibbons. One of the fathers added that the Little Flower of Jesus had been a rmelite Sister, and for that reason the order at Washington was inter- ested In erecting a national shrine, but emphasized that the punch-board system had not been adopted to raise funds.

In 1910 he was called to the chair of agronomy at the Agricultural College of Kansa: He was later made dean of the agri- cultural department and director of the State experimental station in 1913. In 1918 he became president of the college, which position he held up to his selection as Secretary of Agricul- ture. While a student at the Utah Agri- cultural College young Jardine found time from his books and his work to interest himself in Miss Effie Nebeker, a “co-ed,” who is now Mrs Jardine. They have three children—William, jr. 16 years old, now a freshman at Kaneas Agricultural College; Marian, 14, and Ruth, aged 9. Even after Dr. Jardine had entered actively upon his career as an agri- culturist, he found time to improve his education. He studied in the Graduate School of the University of Illinois and had conferred upon him his doctor's degree by Campbell Col- lege. He is a member of the Con- gregational Church, is a Mason and a Rutarian, and is a member of the Cosmos Club here -and the Authors’ Club of Kansas. He has written numerous werks on bulls, dry farming and crop produc- tion. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Sclence, was president of the Inter- national Dry-Farming Congress and Sofl Products Exposition from 1915 to 1916, and of the American Society of Agronomy from 1916 to 1917; is a member of the executive board of the National Research Council, of the advisory council of the Agricultural Commission of the American Bank- ers’ Association, and wears the in signia_of the following fraternities: Sigmi Xi, Beta Theta Pi, Alpha Zeta, Phi Gamma Phi and Gamma Sigma Delta. JARDINE WELL FITTED. Has Been Outspoken Advocate of Farmers‘ Interests. By the Associated Press MANHATTAN, February 14. —Dr. Willlam M. Jardine, president of the Kansas State Agricultural Col- lege, here, who was selected today by President Coolidge to be Sec- retary of Agriculture, will bring to the cabinet a man with first-hand knowledge of agriculture and a per- sonality with a rugged Western back- ground. Once a “cow puncher,” a “broncho buster,” rail cutter and ranch hand, Dr, Jardine has a sympathy with the farmer and ranchman and & compre- hension of his problems based on in- timate experience. He is said to be the best authority in the country on dry farming and the growing of wheat and the grain sorghums. Dr. Jardine has been an outspoken advocate of the farmers’ interests. In addresses he has declared that only 10 per cent of the troubles of the farmer can. be remedied by lezisla- tion, that the other 90 per cent must be solved “by the farmers them- selves and their Immediate associates, the business men of each agricultural community.” He gained considerable attention when in 1924 he volced op- position to the McNary-Haugen pric fixing bill. He viewed the plan based on unsound economic theory, saying that what the taurmer wanted was to be let alone. ——— Woman Commits Suicide.

ALBION, N. Y., February 14.—Lewls E. Sands, Alblon bean magnate, ac- quitted by a jury this morning of first- degree grand larceny in connection with the estimated $1,000,000 fallure of his bean enterprises, was rearrest- ed by a United States marshal on a Federal warrant shortly after hisdis- charge from court. Mrs. Grace K. Gerks, convicted of forgery in connection with the fall- uge of Sands, was last night sentenced to not less than two and not more than four years in Auburn Prison. Mrs. Gerks, who was business man- ager for Sands, was convicted two weeks ago of forging of several bills of lading which were later used as collateral. Sands was tried on a charge grow- ing out of the alleged conversion to his own use of a carload of beans stored by the Bean Warehouse Cor- poration, a subsidiary of the L. E. Sands Co., Inc.

An intensive effort to prevent vio- lations cf the smoke law has been started by the health department, Health Officer Willlam C. Fowler an nounced today. The health department has only one regular smoke Inspector to watch the stacks on all large buildings and commercial plants, but the health officer has temporarily assigned three additional men to this work. Belleving that the emission of thick columns of black smoke can be avolded by proper firing of furnaces, the health officer today compliled a list of suggestions, taken from a pamphlet prepared by the United States Bureau of Mines. List of Suggestions. “First. adequate boller capacity is absolutely essential, thus preventing the necessity of forcing the fires. “Second, at least a medium quality of coal should be used. “Third, proper firing, which is ac- comp ished by keeping the fires level and rather thin the burning of bituminous coal If the fires are kept level and somewhat thin (probably 4 to 10 inches, de- pending on the character of the coal and strength of the draft), the former being done by spreading fresh coal over the very thin places where the coal has a tendency to burn away “The coal should also be fired In amall quantities and at brief inter- vals. The ash pit should be kept clear from ashes and the ash-pit door should be kept at least partly open, not for the purpose of regulating the draft, which should be done with the. damper, but for the purpose of admitting a sufficlent supply of air to insure proper combustion.” DR. W. T. LEE REPORTS ON CARLSBAD CAVERN Lecture Before Geographic Society “Describes “One of Most Beauti- ful Caves of World.” Carlsbad Cavern, New Mexico, one of the most beautiful caves world and one of the most recently created national monuments, can be entered only through a bucket lower- ed for 170 feet through a vertical shaft, Dr. Willis T. Lee told members of the National Geographic Society last night in reporting on an explora- tion of the cavern which he made for the soclety. He announced, however, that a few hours before his lecture a conference committee of the House and Senate had provided an appro- priation of $25,000 to construct a tunnel which will give tourists easy access to the marvelous underground chambers. Both still and motion pictures of the cavern, taken by the light of magnesium flares, were shown by Dr. Lee In describing his explorations. The pictures disclosed huge marble and alabaster stalactites and stalag- mites, great domes and pillars, in- tricate formations like those of coral reefs, and delicate tapestrylike ex- punses of wall. The big room of the cavern, he said, is 850 feet below the purface of the earth, extends for half & mile, Is 350 feet wide, and has a celling from 50 to 350 feet high. Countless smaller chambers are found on several levels. The cavern is 26 miles from Carlsbad, New Mexico, in the midst of & desert country. Its existence has been known locally for some years, but its extent and the unusual nature of its features were brought to light only by the expedition which Dr. Lee led. ———e CENTRAL TAX BUREAU IS URGED FOR VIRGINIA Former State S8enator Goolrick Ad- dresses Fredericksburg Rotary Club on Faults of System.

He told of in- equalities "and sald the present methods throttle progress. He em- phasized the need for a central tax bureau for adjusting the complicated question, so that the several sections of the State would share .alike in providing revenues. He pointed out that in 1914 the average assessment of real estate in Fredericksburg was 74 per cent of its actual value, while in Carroll County the assessment was only 11% per cent. At the present time the assessment in Fredericks- burg Is 68 per cent, with the Carroll County assessment at only 10 per cent. e DISTRICT PROGRESSIVES TO ATTEND CONVENTION Delegates Will Be Selected Monday for Conference of Forces in Chicago.

Senators friendly to the trafic measure, however, urged him not to follow this course. Unanimous consent agreements to hold a night session Monday for the consideration of the traMc bill were proposed by Senator Stanley and Senator Swanson of Virginia. But Senator Bayard of Delaware objected. More debate followed.

Before this sug- gestion could be acted upon, Senator Bruce broke In with his point of no cause she cannot prove that she is operating her car at less than 20 miles an hour, and the policeman tes- tifies that she was operating her car recklessly. The attitude of the po- liceman, he said, depends “upon the state of the policeman’s stomach, and the state of his stomach upon the kind of booze he drank the night be- fore.” There were hisses in one of the gal- leries at this statement. The punishment for reckless driv- ing for the first offense is $25 to $100 fine and imprisonment for from 10 to 30 days under the terms of the bill, and Senator Reed suggested that the wife of one of the Senators might be sent to jall because she could not prove that she was driving at a less rate than 20 miles an hour. “Why not add that the prisoner be drawn’ and quartered—why not go back to the fourteenth century for some real penalties?” he asked “This bill is a monstrosity sample of modern reform legi run wild,” he added Quotes Mark Twaln. 14th and K mociated Press, — — GENEVA, February 14.—The sepa- ration of dlsarmament from compul- | sory arbitration and security is the latest idea advanced in league of | Natlons circles here as the one pos- sible development in the case of the | famous Geneva peace protocol, which is being discuesed between the Eng- lish mother country and her domin- fons and commonwealths. 1 This idea, if carried out, would give an entirely new angle to the international struggle which s being waged to outlaw war.

An appeal to the Senate to “realize its responsibillties” to the people of the District and to get down to work was made by Senator Walsh of Mas- sachusetts, who declared that in no other city in the country are traffic conditions so deplorable.

Senator Caraway tried to make the Kentucky Senator see that the punish- ment was not intended to cover a slight accident, such as described by Senator Stanley, but was intended to cover any one who failed to give his name, address, etc., after an accident, and particularly was aimed at the drivers who run down persons in the streets and rush off to escape paying the penalty.
