* ac 32 FRATERNITY PROBE GROWS IN SCHOOLS Twelve Central Students and One at Business Admit Membership. Anticipated reaction from the expose of fraternity members among the Mc- Kinley Technical High School student body is developing in several other high schools, where it is known by school officials that the secret societies are flourishing in deflance of the Board of Education’s rulin Reports were rec thorities today that 12 students in Cen- tral and 1 in Business have voluntarily, confessed their membership in the de- barred organizations and stand ready to pay the penalty. The Eastern and West- ern students, however, still continue to sit tight” and watch the developments at the other schools The biggest surprise since the Me- Kinley students in large numbers r vealed their affillation with the un- approved societies occurred last night shortly before the curtain ros the premiere of Central's Spring play, “Stop Thief.” One boy, sched- uled to play a prominent role in the production, was prevented from ap- pearing before the footlights be- cause he was under suspicion as be- a member of a fraternity. Al- though the boy denied his affiliation with a “frat,” his role was enacted by a substitute. ed by school au- Kramer Hends Inquiry. The 12 Central students who volun- tarily admitted their connection with the unrecognized organizations, hov ever, did not hold important positions in school activities. One of them had & minor role ju the Spring play 1nd ave way to a substitute. The stu- dent at Business who confessed mem bership in a secret society held minor position in the school bank. tephen E. Kramer, first assistant superintendent of schools, who has #aen assigned by Supt. Frank W. Bal- .ou to untangle the fraternity ques- tion, heid another conference today with ank C. Daniel, principal of McKinley. The matter discussed was not revealed, but Mr. Kramer pointed out that the school authorities would continue to enforce the board's anti- fraternity ruling, regardless of its ef- fect o student activities. 2.DIF ON GALLOWS FOR WIFE MURDER Third Gets Life Sentence. Five Children Left Without Parents as’ Result. a By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, March 21.—Jeal- ousy of their wives caused two men to be hanged and a third to be sen- tenced to life imprisonment in Louisiana yesterda One of the women w. death, another had her throat cut i the third, a negress, died from being beaten with a club in the hands of her husband. The five-day-old baby of one died, too, by falling from the bed while its father was slash- ing its mother's throat. The twe men who were hanged went calmly to death, saying they had repented and believed their souls were saved, but the man sentenced to a life term tried to kill himself. Five children were left without parents as a re- sult of the tragedies. Martin E. Carricutt, 38, a carpenter, was hanged at Marksville, In Avoy- elles parish jail. In a signed state- ment he admitted he killed his wife because he believed she had accepted attentions from another man, but he as- serted their baby, for whose murder he aiso was indicted, fell off the bed was killed, He had just painted the scaf- fold on which he died Armos White, a negro, was hanged Coushatta, in Red River parish there had been no legal execution there since 1881 and the a1l was too small to hold a scaffold, the death penalty was meted out in the eriminal courtroom of the court- Bouse. The hangings took place shortly after noon and about the time they were in progress Condido Badua, 27, a native of the Philippines, was be- ing sentenced in New Orleans to life imprisonment at hard labor after having pleaded guilty. He and his wife had been separated for five months, he said, and when, last Octo- ber 11, he went to seek a reconcilia- tion she started singing “I love nebody, but that somebody isn't You." Enraged, he fired a pistol shot into her back and tried to turn the weapon on himself, but neighbors prevented him. s shot to at wnd beca BODY OF POISON VICTIM FOUND IN PARK BY GIRL Baltimore Clerk Believed Suicide in Atlanta as Result of Unemployment. By the Associated P ATLANTA, G of Roland A. Evan March 21.—The body railroad clerk, who recently came to Atlanta from Balti- more, was found late yesterday in a clump of bushes in a park by a 6-year- old girl. An empty bottle which, polic said, recently had contained poison, was found beside the body. A note found on Evans' body ad- dressed to lodge officials requested that they break the news gently to his wife, who, the note said, was in poor health. Mre Evans home formerly was in Richmond. Inability to obtain work and financial worries were ascribed as reasons for the supposed suicide. Holden A. Evans of Baltimore, a brother, is a survivor alzo. JAMES A. HILLYER DEAD. Native of New York, 93, Expires at Son’s Home Here. James A. Hillyer, 93 years old, who was born in what is now a down- swn business section of New York City, but which was at the time of his birth only a farming section of Manhattan Island, died at the resi- dence of his son, A. S. Hillyer, 3409 Fessenden street, yesterday. Coming from a family noted for its longevity of life, the elder Mr. Hillyer's father lived until he was past the century mark while of three brothers and a sister, who survive Mr. Hillyer, the Youngest is 78 years old. Besides his brothers and sisters, who live in New York, and his son of this city, Mr. Hillyer is survived by another son, H. E. Hillyer; a daughter, Mrs. Minnie Simonson; eight grand- children and 12 great-grandchildren. Mr. Hillyer had lived the greater part of his life on Staten Island, N. Y., where he was in the wholesale gro- cery business for many years, until he retired about 10 years ago. He came to this city last fall for a visit Funeral_servies and interment wull be on Staten Jsland, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Mr. Bloom will return to hington from New York tomor- = W row. A number of sites have been sug- gested for a new structure, tentative plans for which are said to have been drawn by Government architects. One of these is on Government property on Pennsylvania avenue between the White House and the Capitol, but nearer the Capitol than the White House. Was Jefterson's Hobby. , The Coolidge order making the transfer red some choice morsels of history connected with this time- honored institution. The Patent Of- fice was created at the instance cf Thomas Jefferson when he was head of the State Department. it was au- thorized by an act in 1790 and made @ part of the Department of State and became the particular pride of the blond-haired Virginian. In 1act Jefferson did a great deal of the work of the Patent Office in the early davs and encouraged inventors and experi- menters as much as his oth-r duties| allowed After examining personally every | patent application, Jefferson usually summoned Edmund Randolph of Vir- sinia, Attorney General in the Wash- ington Cabinet, and Henry Knox of | Massachusetts, Secretary of War, who, with himself, were constituted a tribunal to pass on such matters. Three Granted First Year. It was Jefferson's usefulness of an invention rather than its novelty should count, and the result was that very few in- ventors who flocked to Washington on the announcement that an olfice‘ had been established met with suc- cess. During the first year of opera- tion the committee passed three ap- plications definitely intended to get a living; no luxuries were at that time | tolerated. These three were devices for “ma ing pot and pearl ashes” (the first), for “manufacturing candles” (the second), and for “manufacturing flour and meal” (the third). This was the sum total of acceptances the first vear. All other ideas offered were re- jected as impractical or unimportant or were put over for further consid- eration. The principal author of the Dec-| 2 et e el afoul of the clamorous inventors, cach one of whom believed his device | to be more beneiicial to the public than machines for making candles, flour and pot and pearl hes. So in sistent did the applic ts become that in 17 the law wids made more liberal, but it was many years, and after the death of Jefferson, before the Patent Office business became at- tractive to any considerable number of citizens. idea that the Banned “Perpetunl Motion.” Necessarily, followed the experi- ments of Sir Isaac Newton and others with gravity and allied subjeci many ideas were advanced for getting | results without doing real work. The 1802 Patent Office report, for instanc records an application for a patent on a machine for “raising water.” Jef- ferson was now President and James Madison his Secretary of State. It may have been Jefferson or Madison or somebody else who penned an en- lightening commentary in parenthesis er the title of the application, viz, a perpetual motion!!!" It may be remarked, coming down to the present, that the office has Traffic Officer In “Merry” Mix-Up With Owner of Car Detective Bureau Failed to Report Recovery of Stolen Auto. A traffic officer very much on the job and a Detective Bureau which overlooked or failed in some manner to inform the Traffic Bureau and the police precincts that a stolen car had been recovered, formed a combination that gave a Washington motorist a merry half-hour today. Reveling in the warm air of the first day of Spring and In the fact that the Police Department had re- covered his car, stolen last Saturday, the motorist drove care free up Penn- sylvania avenue, and was stopped at the intersection of Fourteenth street by a shrill blast from the whistle of Traffic Officer Mulcahey. ] You're driving a stolen carbuddy,” came the gruff assertion of the officer. “Let's see vour registration card?” 1t looked funny to the motorist, for the car was his, chattel and baggage, and even though it was stolen five days ago, it had been returned to him by the police, found by the Vigi- lant eye of detective Alligood on lower Pennsylvania avenue, where it had been abandoned by the joy-riders who stole it. Yet, there it was. He was accused of driving a stolen car. Words wouldn’t mend the matter. So in climbed the keen-eved trafiic cop and they drove around to head- quarters. Sure enough, headquarters sald the car had been recovered and returned to the owner Monday. Yet the traffic squad didn’t know about it, for Mulcahey said he had not been told of its recovery. Neither had Policeman Sinkowitz at Ninth street and Pennsylvania avenue, for Sin- kowitz had followed the car on two separate occasions and had lost it in traffic. Headquarters promised to notify the precincts that the car had been recovered. ADIOS EPAIRED Our experts will put your radio in good condition. M. A. LEES OPTICAL CO. 614 9th St. Branch Store 712 11th Street L2772 I The transfer of the Patent Office|figuratively hung out a sign, “No per- petual motion and other impossible devices considered,” and has instruct- ed the cop in the hall to seize all en- thuslasts on that subject and turn them back at the door. By 1810 Jefferson had shaken off his patent office assoclations largely and while absorbed in larger affairs had called for additional help. The office was moved in that year from its cramped quarters in the State Depart- ment to a building of its own, pre- viously known as “Blodgett's Hotel, and Dr. Willlam Thornton, designer of the plans for the Capitol, was ap- pointed “keeper of the patents.” The job went to Dr. Thornton be- cause his plan for the Capitol had caught the eve of the fastidious Mr. Jefferson, and further, because his conservative ideas coincided with those of his chief. Dr. Thornton's wife, by the way, was one of the city’s leading society matrons. When she married Dr. Thornton she was a teacher in Philadelphla. After her death it became known that she was the daughter of the noted Dr. Dodd, who was executed at London for forging a note of the Bank of Eng- land: she never knew the secret, which was kept from her by her mother, who had come to America under an assumed name. Hraves British Cannon. Dr. Thornton leaped into prominence when the British captured Washing- ton, August 24, 1814. According to the story, when the invaders turned their cannon muzzles toward the Patent Office, the assiduous “keeper’” rushed out, planted himself between the guns and his beloved structure, and cried as he bared his breast: “Are you Englishmen, or Goths or Vandals? This is the Patent Office, & depository of the ingenuity and in- ventions of the American Nation, in which the whole civilized world is interested. Would you destroy it? Then let the charge first pass through my body!"s Providence intervened at the cru- cial moment. The guns never spoke, but, instead, a terrific thunderstorm, followed by a deluge of rain, scat- tered the detachment of miiltary, who hauled themselves and their pieces forthwith to shelter. The same shower put out the fire which the British had ignited at the White House, and old residents for many vears afterward said it was a sign that the Almighty never intended another sun should set on the ma- rauders in the Capital of the young republic. Kept Records in Head. Dr. Thornton died in 1827. He had {been a law unto himself in the Patent | office, and perhaps had not always, while attending to applications and applicants, kept his books in efficient condition. There was an unexplained absence of drawings and models, no doubt due to the leniency of the “keeper” as he tried to accommodate the patrons of the establishment. A congressional investigation decided that the doctor tried to keep too many details in his head, and that much of the good of his administra- tion was interred with his bones. In 1836 fire practically wiped out the establishment. Some 7,000 models were lost, and many have never been restored, even in the form of sketches. One of the losses incluge=d Robert Fulton’s own sketches of his Cler- mont machinery and the vessel as it :dly steamed up the Hudson in loss stirred Congress to ac- tion. In 1852 the Seventh street wing was built, followed by the Ninth street wing, and the quadrangle was completed by the G street extension in 1867, the total expense up to that time being $3.000,000. Later altera- tions, up to 1900, cost $2.000,000 addi- tional. In 1877 a fire razed the west- ern wing and destroyed $7,000 models. Approximately three acres of ground are occupied by the Patent Office, whose commissioner is now Thomas E. Rob- erston. The first assistant is Willlam A. Kinnon and the assistant Karl Fenning. More than 1,000 people are employed in the office, which is only three stories high. Early architects, evidently believ- ng two stories to climb was a small matter to the public, included only two elevator shafts. The business has grown from the start of three patents in a year to an average of more than 8§00 weekly. Dozens of patent attorneys do nothing but look up prior claims, and hundreds of clerks handle the paper work, which has grown to enormous proportions. REFUSES NEW TRIAL TO WOMAN FORGER Court Rejects Appeal of Former Secretary of Representative S. A. Kendall. Chief Justice McCoy of the District Supreme Court today denfed an appli- cation of Mrs. Margaret B. Buchanan, former secretary of Samuel A. Ken- dall, Representative from Pennsyl- vania, for a new trial of the charge of forging the name of Martha War- field, an illiterate colored woman who had been a cook in her house, to two checks from the Veterans' Bureau for compensation and insurance on the life of the son of the former cook. Counsel for the woman contended that the court erred in excluding cer- tain testimony at the trial and in al- lowing Assistant United States Attor- ney Burnett to ask questions of Mrs. Buchanan beyond the scope of her di- rect testimony. Mrs. Buchanan was remanded to jail until next Saturday, when sentence will be imposed. She was acquitted in February of a charge of forgery in altering the in- dorsement of Representative Kendall 10 a note for $5,000 sent by Mayor Smart of Unlontown, Pa., in payment of surplus war material sold in Penn- swlvania. 7 7 222% 22 To Defend Zoning E. M. BASSETT. NEAR EAST RELIEF WORKER IS SOUGKT Caucasus Authorities Begin New Hunt for Long-Miss- ing American. By the Associated Press. TIFLIS, March 21.—Caucasian au- thorities have instituted another search for Clayton Krantz of Perkasie, Pa., a Near East Rellef worker who has been missing for three years, having disappeared while engaged in relief work in the Caucasus during the civil wars of that period. Krantz was a student at Goshen College, Goshen, Ind., when he volun- teered to g0 to the Caucasus. He had an excellent record with the Near Fast Relief organization. When he disappeared he was in charge of a shipment of supplies for refugees. Rumors recently reached America through Armenian refugees arriving in Canada from Siberia that Krantz was a prisoner in Siberfa. Russian authorities, however, state that all American prisoners have been released, but it is barely possible that Krant# is living somewhere in Si- beria without revealing his American citizenship. e WOMAN BROKER SENT TO OCCOQUAN FOR YEAR Judge James Francis Smith, United States Court of Customs Appeals, im- posed his first sentence today on the bench of the District Supreme Court. He sent Margaret Cahill, a young stockbroker, to Occoquan for one vear. Miss Cuhill was convicted of appropriating $150 which had been intrusted to her to invest in stocks. Attorney C. W. Morganston, on be- half of the prisoner, pointed out that she has an elderly mother who has no other support than a pension as the widow of a Clvil War veteran. Miss Cahill also asked clemency of the court because of the mother. Swiss Council Ousts Gambling. BERN, March 2lL.—Gambling ca- sinos will be prohibited in Switzer- land beginning next week by order of the National Council, which was evenly divided on the question, neces- sitating a declding vote by the Pr dent. A plebiscite resulted in a vote against the continuance of licensed gambling, but by exercising the in- itlative the question was brought be- fore the Council. TODAY'S AMUSEMENTS.
