Outlining the industrial and finan- cial trend of European business, Mr. Miles warned that “political prob- lems still exert their influence, and not least among them is the continued and still unsolved question of inter- allied debts.” France, Egypt and show favorable trade balances, he sald, and notwithstanding a tempo- rary Increase in unemployment in Great Britain, he declared the “gen- eral posture of trade looks distinctly better,” while in Italy business seem- ed not only to prosper, “but to reach out with energy and enterprise into new fields.” Working of the Dawes plan in Ger- many, Mr. Miles reported, “seems to continue its successful upward trend,” while conditions in_Denmark were described as good. Jugoslavia's rail- way extensions, which he declared as essential to Serbia’s development of raw material supplies, “seem at last to_be taking definite shape While reports from Austria indicat- ea that it “once again is in the midst of an economic crisis,” Mr. Miles found conditions there presented “sev- eral mitigating features,” which indi- cate that the existing situation is in- comparably less grave than in 192 A perceptible slowing down of activ- ity in the Belgian textile industry was noted.

HARTFORD, Conn., March 28— There was no session today in the trial of Gerald Chapman, mail looter and jailbreaker, who is charged with the murder of a New Britain police officer last October 12 Judge Newell Jennings yesterday adjourned court until Monda order- ing the jury kept in the custody of the sheriff. An entire floor of a local hotel has been retained for the jurors. Chapman expects to confer with his attorneys a large part of the day In the State prison at Wethersfield. . 24 Put on Stand. Twenty-four witnesses were put on the stand by the State yesterday, the fourth day of the trial. Four testified Thursday after the twelfth juror had been selected. The State still has more than a score of witnesses. Much of the testimony so far has been designed to show intimacy be- tween Chapman and Walter Shean, son of a Springfleld, Mass., hotel owner, and the man who told the New Britain police that the mail ban- it was the murderer. Shean is al- leged to have told the police he and Chapman broke into the Davidson & Leventhal department store in New Britain and looted two safes. When they were surprised by police, Shean escaped to be arrested a short time later, but his companion was trapped and shot his way to freedom, killing Patrolman James Skelly. Had Dinner Together.

She denied that the New Britain palice had drilled her in her story and also denied that she had been directed to identify a photograph of Chapman as that of Shean’s compan- ion at the inn. James Hance, a farmer of Wheaton, Ind., testified that Chapman, known to him as Tom Miller, affected tailored golt togs and had three shotguns, an automatic pistol, an electric drill and burglar tools. Hance said that Chapman and two companions engaged three rooms in his farmhouse and occupled them at intervals from April fo August, last year. Chapman was captured at Muncie, Ind., 11 miles from Wheaton. Librarians from Cincinnati, Dayton and Lima identified three books found in Chapman’'s possessipn as taken from their libraries.

Ten different routes are involved in this overlapping, and in places two or three of them coincide for several miles. On'another route eight different sets of markers, indi- cating as many named routes, are found on the same stretch of road, and this overlapping occurs in so many places that on & map showing all the routes it is difficult to follow the lo- cation of one route because so many other routes must be shown on the same road.

By, Consolidated Press. Broadcasting, like the movies, ap- peats destined for many years to come to have its largest and most luxurious home in the United States. A survey of the broadcasting situ- ation in Europe, made public by the Department of Commerce today, shows that America is far and away the “broadcastingest” nation in the werld. Great Britain is only a fair second, but Is displaying a tendency to spurt at_times. The importation, sale and use of radio receiving or broadeasting appa- ratus is prohibited by the government of Bulgaria and broadcasting Is prohibited in Rumania and Greece, according to the report. Only Two Sets in Nice. France and Spain have taken to broadcasting in spots, but listening to wireless entertainment gives no appearance of becoming a general habit. For instance, in Nice reception is reputed to be very poor and there are only two sets in use in the city, these being emploved for publicity purposes. In the vieinity of La Rochelle there are approximately 400 receivers, most of them of French manufacture. Around Malaga, Spain, the radio market is very limited, while in Seville there are several sets in operation. Sermany has shown considerable interest in radio, and builds its own receiving sets. Belgium, situated in the very heart of the broadcasting field of Europe, finding it can tune in on a choice of half a dozen countries, has taken to the small, inexpensive sets, and is reported to be enjoying itselt. Norway's Interest Growing. The Netherlands government has adopted the British method of han- dling the broadcasting problem,. and is planning to grant a monopoly to a company yet to be formed to do all the country’s radioing. The opening of Norway's first station, at Oslo, in December, has glven broadcasting a tremendous impetus in that country. Sweden, similarly, has opened up a fairly live market for the radio mer- chant, and expects to do better in the tuture. In Jugoslavia the use of receiving sets is permitted only to subjects and members of the diplomatic and con- sular corps and there is in general little interest in radio. Poland, which last year decided to permit importation of foreign-built sets, has found that the market has been dominated almost entirely by French, English and German manu- facturers. American equipment is sold only to a limited extent. The Azores have no broadcasting station of their own and it is npt ex- Pected that one will be erected at any time in the near future. Only a few receiving sets have been puf- chased for use on the islands. WILL NOT ENFORCE ORDER Victoria to Ignors Province's Vac- cination Edict.

Is the world reaching the stage where war will be nothing more than a perpetual shaking of fists, with no decisive action on efther side. The trend seems to be in this direc- tion, John Holland Rose, professor of naval warfare at Cambridge Univer- sity, told a large audience at Cor- coran Hall last night. Democracy in government, great masses of men and wireless telegraphy were cited as the factors that are reducing war to an absurdity Dr. Rose took the World War for an example, and described the trench warfare, which-kept opposing armles at a standstill. He drew more lessons from the naval engagements of the War to show that the element of surprise, now virtually impossible, has been lost, and without it the naval battles will not occur. Element of Surprixe. The great victories at s past, Prof. Rose pointed been almost always element of surprise graphy has the out, have due to the Wireless tele- completely eradicated this element. The only modern ex- ceptions, the lecturer said, were Dewey's victory at Manilla and the Japanese sinking of the Russian fleet in the Sea of Japan. In both of these cases victory went to a far more eficient fleet. Such sea heroes as Lord Nelson, Rodney or John Paul Jones, he said, won all their victorles by catching the enemy unaware. Prof. Rose revealed the inside his- tory of the battle of Jutland, as shown by the British admiralty rec- ords, in this fashion. Von Scheer, he said, had evolved a perfectly sound plan to et a trap for Jellicoe. He in- tended to dash out of Wilhelmshaven and shell the important coal port of Sea coast of England. at the same time hastily laying an extensive mine field to the north in the waters through which Jellicoe must pass to save the be- sieged town. When the British fleet approached the German had intended to run and watch from a safe dis- tance the effect of the mines. If the British fleet was sufficiently disabled he might have attacked at close quar- ters, in Had Chosen Same Night. This plan failed because Jellicoe curiously had chosen the same night to try another ruse on the Germans. ]:ivttlx were trying to trap each other. Consequently Von Scheer was cut off from Sunderland-by the fact that the British fleet actually was off its base at the time. Hence, purely by ac- cident, there was a drawn battle whiclf naturally was indecisive: ‘Widr cannot be very efficient under a democracy, he said, and this form ‘of government obtafns in practically every ciyilized country. Even such old autocracies as Turkey now are republics.” “The democracy, he said, cAn-indeed mobilize greater- masses than was possible under an autocracy and ' Inspire them with gredter fervor. But always the war is ‘managed by committees," some- where back of the lines. Thére can never “be--the same switf, concen- trate® movements of troops such as brought about the great victories of Napoleon and Frederick the Great. Sound in Theory. Prof. Rose sald that submarine war- fare was entirely sound in theory, whatever might be the moral objec- tions to it~ It was the logical course for the Germans to follow, consider- ing the fact that Von Scheer's fleet was considerably inferior to that of Jellicoe. The admiralty office, he said, was able at all times to keep Jellicoe at Scapa Floe informed of any moive- ments of the Germans. Probably the German admiralty was able to keep Von Scheer constantly informed of the slightest unusual movement in the British fleet. Vision Is Extended. There was no possibility of sur- prise. The vision of the sea fighter, once confined to the range of a sall- or's eyes from the mast-head, now has extended around the world and into every corner of the seas through radio. The fleet no longer can hide behind the horizon with complete security while the admirals lay clever plans to destroy each other. The age of mechanical slaughter, he said, has removed the last argument for war. When battles were fought hand-to-hand it might have been a useful but rough-and-ready device for killing off the unfit and thus improv- ing the race, -Today the survivor was [usudlly the man with the least square inches of bullet space in his-body and hence not the most desirable for carrying on the. race.

Y. March 28.—Two other co-respondents, besides Joe Secakuka, Hopi Indian guide, were named in a divorce complaint filed in Supreme Court here yesterday against Mrs. Ida May Hendricks, by Clifford Hendricks wealthy big-game hunter. The additional co-respondents Wwere cited as M. G. Smith and “one Par- £ons.” Application by Hendricks for per- mission to serve a summons and com- plaint on his wife, by publication, Thursday revealed the actlon, which seeks absolute divorce. Papers were not actually filed until yesterday. The Indian guide's alleged miscon- duct with Mrs, Hendricks is said to have taken placs on hunting trips last Summer and Fall in Arizona and Cali- fornia. A supporting_affidavit was also flled by James B. Elliot, a friend of Hen dricks. Elliot alleged that he saw Mrs. Hendricks in_ his store in Los Angeles last October, but that she stated she did not want her husband to know where she was. She declared, according to the afdavit, that she teared Hendricks might attempt to take her 4-vear-old daughter, Jean; away from her. FINDS FOUR STARS HOTTER THAN SUN Rigel Has Temperature of 16,000 Degrees, Scientist’s . Tests-Reveal. Estimating the diameters of 10 of, the brighter, stars by separating thein| heat into a long spectrum and meas- uring the heat of the different colors and then calculating the probabel temperatures of each of these heav-) enly bodies, was the work of Dr. C. G. Abbot, ~director of the AStro- physical Observatory of the Smith- sonian Institution, during a recent series of fleld experiments, whose re- sults have just been made public. Temperature 16,000 Degree: A star, having nearly three times the heat of the sun, was among those observed by Dr. Abbot. This was Beta Rigel, having an estimated absolute temperature of 16,000 degrees centi grade, compared with the sun degrees centigrade. Other stars ob- served with a greater temperature than that of the sun were: Vega, absolute temperature, 14,000 degrees centigrade: Sirius, the brightest star in the heavens, 11,000; Procyon, §,000. The other stars were Capella, 580 Aldebaran, 3,000; Beta Pegasi, 2.8 Betelgeuse, 2,600, and Alpha Herculis, 2,500. The last two have an estimated diameter 500 times greater than that of the sun. Used Special Instrument. Dr. Abbot used in this work a radiometer, constructed under the -di- rection of Dr. E. F. Nichols, picneer in measuring the heat of the stars. Utilizing the giant telescope at the Mount Wilson Observatory in Cali- fornia, with its 100-inch reflecting lens, Dr. Abbot was enabled to ob- tain fairly accurate measurements of the heat of the different colors, even far into the infra-red. Curves were drawn, indicating the spectral distri- | bution in the radiation of blue, white, yellow and red stars, and estimates of their probable temperatures were made. RARE BOOK MAN DIES.
