COOLIDGE SPEECH OPENS WORLD FAIR Radio Address Launches First Exhibition of Women’s Work. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 18.—Opened by an electric_signal flashed from Washing- tén by Mrs. Calvin Coolidgé and dedi- cated by a radio message from Presi- dent Coolidge, the first woman’s world fair was under way here today with an international exhibit of femi- nine progress . The woman baker, candlestick maker, doctor, lawyer and an Indian chieftainess are represented among many occupations representative of the twentieth century advance of women. Two acres of floor space are filled with the exposition display. President Coolidge in his radio ad- dress gave tribute to the business- like conduct of the fair and its financing. He declared the achieve- ment of the women in raising com- plete advance funds for the cost of the fair was a “striking contrast to the average project of like character, supported in easy fashion out of pub: lic funds.” The President dwelt on the wide- spread benefits to be gained from the | fair | Wants Benefits for Homes. * country,” he said, “wants its and science, its commerce and ag- lture, its production and transpor- tation, its education and invention, not merely that they may be used in the market place, the factory and the field, but that they may all be trans- lated into the home. All of these ef. forts . have the purpose to be- come effective forces at the fireside.” The fair opened in an impressive manner. All traffic for a dozen blocks along teeming Michigan avenue was suspended to make way for the intro- ductory parade. A woman on horse: back dashed along the avenue in a re-enactment of the memorable ride of Paul Revere, the one hundred and fittieth anniversary of which was commemorated in the opening. Fort Sheriden gave its entire garrison for the introductory parade Contributing to the exHibit role at the fair are tokens showing that women have become successful in- wventors. physicians, umbers, : . trappers, business women, chemists and edotars. Side-by-side with- these are displayed the. work of women of earlier civiliza- tion. The fair will be closed tomorrow, but its doors will swing open again Monday. URGES THRIFT IN HOMES. President Speaks in Study; Mrs. Coolidge Opens Fair Doors. Advocating sound methods in busi- ness and in the home as well as in the conduct of government, President | Coolidge, in a radio address delivered | yesterday in connection with the opening in Chicago of the Women's World air, asserted there is little in- ation to the public to be business- e in their domestic affairs if gov ernmental activities are managed in a lax and careless manner. “If the people, in the daily manage- ment of their modest domestic af- fairs,” said the President, “note that the great interest of their Government and of their. serhi-public Institutions are dealt with in a spirit of laxity and a mood of carelessness, they find little inspiration to apply - better methods in the management of their own concerns. The great business operations which are constantly under the public eve ought to.be handled so | as to make them an example in sound | procedure. Sound Methods First Need. “The importance of sound business methods was never so great as it is today. It is particularly true that| Government business should be placed on a basis of rigid economy.” The President delivered the address from his study. It was carried by wire to a Chicago broadcasting sta- tion after Mrs. Coolidge had pressed button opening the doors of the | She used a transmission set, shioned of gold mined in the Klon- dike and utilized for the first time by President Taft in opening the Alaska- Yukon-Pacific exposition ‘n 1909. “Pointing out thar tonight is the 150th anniversary of. Paul Revere's ride, Mr. Coolidge said there were some elements of special appropriate- ness in the selection of today for open- ing “the fair: “A world's fair conceived, organized, dirécted and managed Ly women and devoted particualarly to the interests and activities of their -sex is sug- gestive of the Revolutionary change that has taken place in their Status “he asserted”’ Wixh a keen eve fo the historic unities that should be pre- served on such an occasion the mana- gers of the fair have arranged to signalize its formal opening by re- producing the ride of Paul Revere. Only, on this annivers ion, it has been deemed fitting that the his: torlc ride should be taken by -a weman. So Paul becomes Pauline, bitious feminism appropriates ¢ a share in one more field en- heretofore clafmed exclusively by the men.” GIRL, CUT IN FIGHT, RUNS MILE FOR AID Assailant, Held on Mamn Act Charge, Accused of Slashing / Own Throat. A quarrel between Frank Sebastian, 36, and Catherine Waytouich, 22, at 618 3rd street, late yesterday ended in the girl running nearly a mile for assistance while blood flowed freely from a penknife wound in the neck, and in Sebastian being taken to Emergency Hospital for treatment of an alleged self-inflicted stab wound in his own throat according to the police. Police at the sixth precinct, who investigated the case, reported that during the quarrel Sebastian threw the girl across a bed and cut her on the neck with a penknife. Then she escaped, the police report stated, and ran to the home of James Rest, a friend, at 311 H street north where she was.treated by a physi Her condition is not serfous. After her escape, according to police, Sebastian cut his own throat. He was removed to Emergency Hospital, where he admitted he had attempted suicide. He was able, after treatment by Dr, Rhame, to leave the hospital. Upon his departure he was arrested and Iocked up at the sixth precinct on a charge of violation of the Mann act in bringing the girl to this city from Baltimore No charge of assault was placed against Sebastian, police at the sixth precinct said, because the girl an- nounced she would refuse to aid any prosecution. ian.

PARK VIEW SCHOOL PLAN I POSED Citizens Protest Proposed Addition of Fourth Story to Building. Objection to the erection of an eight-room addition to the Park View School as provided in the initial in- stallment of the five-year building pro- gram, was voiced by representatives of the Park View community at a public hearing of the committee on buildings and grounds of the board of education yvesterday afternoon at the Franklin School. A petition signed by 1,000 residents {of the community, including members of the citizens’ association, the Wom- en’s Club and the Parent-Teacher As- sociation, opposing the eight-room ex- tension also was submitted to the com- mittee. . Fourth Floor Proposed. As _projected, be constructed as a fourth story to the present school building. The Park View citizens appealed to the committee to make provisions for the purchase of additional property ad- joining the school with the idea of building a 16-room addition instead of remodeling the present structure, even at the sacrifice of delaying the additional school accommodations. It was pointed out that the school could not be platooned as effectively as at present with a fourth-story ad- dition, but Supt. Frank W. Ballou challenged this argument. Dr. Ballou took the position that all of the new schools projected are of 16-room type and that a 32-room structure as pro- | posed by the Park View citizens would Break down this construction scheme. Deny 16 Rooms Are Needed. School officials also argued that a 16-room addition at Park View is not needed because an 8-room extension to 'p aeeh to the Raymond School at Tenli sG#et and Spring road would aid malerially in relieving congested conditions in the Park View School. Among those who spoke were Mrs. William T. Bannerman, George H. Russell and Miss Frances. S. Fairley. principal of the Park View School. Municipal Architect Albert L Harris explained the plans for the 8-room ad- dition to the school. PAGEANT PROGRAM GETS ADDED DATE Georgetown Event to Have Three Performances, as Interest * Has Grown. The Pageant of Georgetown will have three performances, instead of two, as previously planed, because of the demand for tickets, it was an- nounced yesterday. Performances will be given in Christ Church Parish Hall, Thirty-first and O streets, on the eve- nings of next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The pageant, the work of Mrs. Alice Coyle Torbert, is the most ambitious dramatic story of the Capital City ever attempted. Tt sets forth the history of the old- est section of the Capital, from the early days of exploration, when Capt. John Smith landed with his Indian friends on the Potawamakee (Poto- mac) River, and when Capt. Fleet was detained by the Necostin Indians at Tohogae (George-Town), on down the years to the time when George-Town was under the King Georges, and tell- lcnx of the foiunding of the Federal ity. Some of the famous characters in the pageant are the poet, Francis Scott Key; President Adams, who turned the first soil for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal; Alexander de Bodisco, the Rus- sian minister, and his bride, Miss Har- riet Beall Willlams of Georgetown; Henry Clay, Henry Fox and many local citizens, who gave their land, treasure and lives for their town and country.

Victor J. Evans, Washington at- torney and counsel for Indian tribes, is to have full charge of the stage direction and the presentation of the Indian scenes, dances and music which form part 1 on the four-part program of American Music evening, May 5, at the Washington Auditorium. This announcement, made today by Mrs. David Allen Campbell, chairman of the music department of the Na- tional Councll of Women, under whose auspices American Music evening is being given, is of unusual interest, be- cause of Mr. Evans' wide knowledge of Indian history, tradition, manners and customs, tribal songs and cere- monial dances. American Music evening will mark the first attempt to portray ‘from any stage in_sequence and in so stupen- dous a form the factors that have molded American music expression. The four parts of the program will depict in music the development of this art in America from the days of the Indian to the present time. For Visiting Women. This_historical evening is planned primarily for the entertainment . of the delegates and visitors from abroad who are to be in this city, from May 4 to 14, to attend the sessions of the quinquennial of the International Council of Women. Through the courtesy of the National Council of Women, the hostess of the quinquen- nial, the public is to be privileged to purchase tickets to this scenic con- cert, which will surpass in spectacular beauty and historical significance any- thing ever attempted before in this city, according to Mrs. Campbell and those associated with her. Mr. BEvans owns one of the largest collections of Indian trophies, blankets, baskets, beadwork, costumes and his- torical objects assembled in the United States. This collection was started years ago in Minnesota, and while making it he has minutely studied the life and_habits of the Indians themselves. The collection later will be given to the United States National Museum. \ Sioux Chiefs Coming. The old war chiefs of the Sioux re- siding on the Pine Ridge Agency have never before made an appearance be- fore an assemblage in their native ceremonial song® and dances. But they are coming to Washington at the request of Mr. Evans for this event and will bring with them some of the young braves and squaws. Such an opportunity as is now offered to see the Indlans in this barbaric presentation will probably never be repeated here, according to Mr. Evans. The Indian program will be given with special effort toward his- torical accuracy. W, 0. SEHonL A ARE UTLNED Vision of Growth Painted by Speakers at Annual Dinner. A vision of a new and larger law school of George Washington Univer- sity was laid before 200 students and members of the faculty of the George ‘Washington University Law School at the annual dinner of the school at the Cairo Hotel last night. Foreseeing broader development of the school along physical lines and a picture of a greater law school, which will take in much of the square in which the new law school building now stands, Presi- dent Willlam Mather Lewis urged con- tinuance of the “splendid spirit” of George Washington, which, he said, lives in every student who goes forth from the institution. Dr. Lewis and Senator Sterling united in urging respect for the law, which Senator Sterling referred to as the “very thread of the fiber of the fabric of life’” He added that there has been a disposition on the part of some influential persons to speak slightingly of the eighteenth amend- ment, and said he has little patience with ‘such an attitude. “If lawyers were to advocate such an attitude,” Senator Sterling declared, “‘we should have a state of anarchy— a situation most reprehensible.” Must Uphold Law. Senator Sterling and Dr. Lewis said the lawyer must stand as a bulwark in defense of the law, upholding the law in every respect and teaching through his own respect for the law un understanding of the fundamentals under which civilization exists. Senator Sterling lald down three fundamental professions which un- derly the fabric of civilization—the law, the press and the pulpit. He re- jferred to the power of an indispen- sable and ubiquitous press and dis- semination of said news was neces- sary to the progress of the world. Dr. Lewis said all lawyers should look to construction of laws that will be sound and that will breed respect for the law. Short addresses were made by A. H. Moran, E. L. Wilkinson and Carlyle Maw, presidents of the law school classes of 1925, 1926 and 1927. Dean W. V. Van Vleck acted as toastmas- ter. Solos were sung by Prof. H. G. Spaulding, who also led in singing by the school. Dancing followed the formal program. GIRL'S STORY OF SON OF ADMIRAL CHECKED Part of It Creditble, Secret Serv- ice Men Say—Seek Mann Act Evidence. Department of Justice agents have verified portions of the story told to police by Doris Katharine Barr, 20 vears old, under $500 bond for the action of the grand jury on larceny charges, who alleged she came here to seek the son of an admiral to marry him. = She said that she had made several trips from her home in Bethie- hem, Pa., to New York with the man she intended to marry this Eastertide, while he was a student at a university. It was learned last night that the son of the admiral mentioned attend- ed the university named by the girl, who is a divorcee and mother of a 4-year-old child. It was also learned that he did not come to Washing- ton for the Easter holidays, which was another angle of the story she told police. Department of Justice operatives were, called into the case when it was learned that the young woman's ac- count involved alleged infractions of the Mann act. The operatives are now seeking evidence to back up the state- ments of the girl.

The Navy Department keeps close tab on the movement of the May- flower, just as it does on any other Navy craft, and some of the week end reports read about like this: “‘Mayflower—Left Washington Navy Yard to sea. “Anchored Hains Point. “Salled from Hains Point for Wash- ington Navy Yard. “Arrived Washington Navy Yard.” ANNUAL FOREST WEEK IS FAVORED Proposal to Make Observ- | ance Permanent Approved at Conference Here. Permanent maintenance of the American Forest Week Organization was virtually decided upon at a na- tional conference held at the Pow- hatan Hotel yesterday. Former Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinols, chajrman of the Citizens’ Forest week commit- tee, presided, and declared in favor of the continuation of the committee. The chairman was instructed in a resolution offered by Edmond ¥. Dodge of the Union League b of Chicago, and secretary of the Tilinois Forestry Association, to appoint a sub- committee with full power to act in all matters pertaining to the organi- zation. American Forest week this year is from April 27 to May 3. ‘Want Days Together. The suggestion was made and favor- ably received that next year the United States and Canadian Forest weeks be made coincident, so that there will be simultaneous observance from .the Rio Grande to the North Pole. Another suggestion that will be considered is that the designation of the week be broadened to make it a time of thought and effort for the conservation and wise use of all wild life, floral and faunal. Edgar P. Allen, managing director of the committee, presemted a report of the enormous amount of work the conygittee has accomplished in a brief ime in the way of organization, in- }ormn\ion. education and publicity. Gov. Lowden commented favorably on what had been achieved. Wilson Compton, manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers’ As- sociation, urged continuation of the work, and pledged his association to continued financial support. F. G. Wisner, Laurel, Miss., president of the lumber association, declared that re- forestation was mainly a matter of public education that could best be promoted by a committee that repre- sented all phases of interest in the forests. Grateful to Press. Resolutions were adopted express- ing appreciation of the co-operation of the press of the country, of the as- sistance given by the Southern Pine Association and by the National Lum- ber Manufacturers’ Association. ‘Col. W. B. Greeley, United States forester, expressed his gratification that a work which had been orig- inally limited to the forest service had been so successfully taken over by a popular organization. R. B. Kellogg, New York, chairman of the National Forestry Program Committee; Dr. Ovid Butler, secretary of the American Forest Association; Shirley Allen, &or- ester of the American Forestry Asso- ciation; Dr. T.

Judge Jennings, who sentenced Chapman, has gran the fense 10 days additional to prepare a fic request for the finding of facts, which practically completes the appeal to the Supreme Court, based on fifty or more errors in court rulings. Mr. Groehl indicated submission to the jury of a time table which had not been introduced as evidence would be one of the main points stressed in the appeal. Objection also will be raised to State Prosecutor Alcron’s explanation to the jury that Chapman had to cross “Brooklyn Bridge to get from Grand Central Terminal to Albany avenue, Brooklyn.

TOPEKA, Kans., April 18.—Wheat has been running “hog wild" on the Chicago Board of Trade as it used to do in the days before there was a grain futures act. That seems to be the only word for®it. No one can imagine the berate law of supply and demand yanking down prices 22 cents in 24 hours nor 51 cents in 15 days. One day when Chicago received 29 cars of wheat the Board of Trade deal? In 87,000,000 bushels. Another day, with foreign demand more than usually active, there was & price slump of 14 cents Then came the abrupt order from the Secretary of Agriculture, who was charged with enforcing the anti- grain gambling law, directing an im- mediate probe of the transactions of the n exchanges. Pérhaps some of the big operators Wintering at Palm Beach have been taking a “filer.” Some one, or some group, was able to juggle prices regardiess of no visi- le change in the world supply and demand situation. Sees Gamblers at War. It is a war between gamblers. Farmers suffered no great loss by the big drop in prices any-more than they made gains by selling $2 wheat. Most of thdir wheat was sold soon after harvest, before that price was anywhere near reached. The United States Department of Agriculture ra ports only 13 per cent of the total crop in the hands of farmers March 1, when the usual, or 10 year averge, is more than 18 per cent. About 69,000,000 bushels of wheat ‘were in the country mills and elevators last year and 33,000,000 bushels Jess than in 1923. A dependable market author- ity forecasts a carry-over of 57,000 000 bushels smaller than a year ago. With a season not speciaily favor- able for Winter wheat, there is no Breat “bear dope” in these facts. Effect Bad in 1923.

Its man- :ng:_r and secretary, Mr. Sager, writes ““The last week or 10 days have seen sales of only 600 barrels of flour, and we have lost 3,000 barrels more which could have been sold had the market remained steady. How can the inter- ests of the country be built up, men employed and the general welfare benefited when bare-faced gambling is Rermitted in such a basic commodity and foodstuff as wheat?" Speculators Battle. In the same way a manipulated mar- ket drives away real buyers and sell- ers by creating artificial values, with the result, an eastern market. review- er points out, the speculators have to sell out to another. As this usually means ruin for the losers, the debacle is prolonged as far as possible. I have assurance from Secretary legitimate grain Jardine that the Department of Agri-| culture will go the limit under the law and forego no opportunity to ascer- tain the influences that have been at work in the market. Under the anti-grain-gambling law artificial manipulation of wheat prices is a penitentiary offense. Another and more drastic remedy, should the in- vestigation disclose unlawful practice would be tg cancel the trading priv lege as a ®contract-market” of any grain exqpange found not to have en- forced the rules for the prevention of illegal trading and vicious short sell- ing. ‘Would Be Serious Step. This would be a serious step, but no more serious than the Chicago Board of Trade was itself forced to adopt the month after we went to war with Germany, when trading was suspend- ed on the Chicago Board of Trade May 17, 1917, by order of its directors, be- cause the market was “running away" and the board at that time felt com- pelled to act. 3 The Chicago Board of Trade has al- ways had the means to control and prevent the evils practiced by profes- sional market gamblers, but has con- sistently declined to apply them. The Capper-Tincher law was the re- sult of a 30-year war to compel such market supervision. It was passed with dificulty, and the first draft was killed by the Supreme Cowrt. It is the first legislation of its kind and still is somewhat in the nature of an experiment. As legislation, it was the best law that could be drawn from knowledge then available. The De- partment of Agriculture approved it. and it is now up to the department to go the limit of its broad authority to enforce it. Secretary Jardine'’s de- termination to do this will be gen- erally and heartily commended. - If the findings show the law needs strengthening, or discover loopholes which need stopping up, the depart- ment should recommend and sponsor sych changes. ’No one wants the anti-grain-gam- bling law repealed, except for selfish reasons. It will not be repealed. If found in any way inadequate, it will be made fully equal to its mission. A show-down in the present instance is in every way desirable. (Copyright. 1925.)

Correspondence of the Associated Pre STOCKHOLM, March 23.—A land- lord who puts out his tenants when they become too prosperous, in order to make room for poorer ones, pref- erably those with children, is the curious spectacle presented by the city of Stockholm. As there is a short- age in housing, the city has ordered those who can afford to pay higher rents to move in order to provide homes for those with less means, many of whom are mow living in temporary shelters, It is only after careful investiga- tion, however, that the city author- ities give a tenant notice. Thus, out of 600 families proposed for -efection this year, only 200 have been selected. These are chiefly bachelors or child- less couples whose incomes are out of all proportion to the low rent they pay, and special consideration has been shown for aged couples who have lived for a long time in the same quar- ters. By next Fall the city hopes to have adequate dwellings for all the wartime squatters. ATTORNEYS FREED INTRAINLOOT CASE Little Reck Jury Acquittal Based in:Part on Words of Judge’s Charge. L By the Associated Press. LITTLE ROCK, Atk., April 18.— Wallace Dayis and Tom Poe, attor- neys, were acquitted by a Federal Court jury today of charges of pos- sessing and concealing $100,000 worth of stolen bonds, part of the loot of the $2,000,000 Rondout, T1., train robbery. The jury was out one hour and fifteen minutes. It was not known here today what action would be taken on the Chicago indictments. The jury asked Judge Trieber to read his instructions re- garding the right of an attorney to hold stolen goods for a brief period for the protection of his client. repeated instructions in which he had said that if any attorney held stolen goods for a short period, to protect his client, and with the inten- tion of forcing the client to take them back or of turning them over to the LOW TERMS ARRANGED He | jauthorities, the attorney would have commftted no crime. ‘The jury returned to its delibera- tions, and five minutes later reported a verdict of acquittal.

CHICAGO, April 18.—An indictment charging conspiracy to receive and conceal $100,000 in bonds, part of the loot from the $2,000,000 mail train rob- bery at Rondout, IIL, last June, is pending here against Wallace Davis and Thomas Poe, Little Rock.

The indictment of Poe and Davis was in connection with the conceal ment of the $100,000 share of the loot that was taken by Herbert Holli day. one of the train robbers, who, with William Fahy, a post office in spector here, until his arrest; James Murray, local politician, and Willis, Willie, Joseph and Jesse Newton, was sent to prison for the robbery. Although most of the loot was re- covered, including nearly all of Hol- liday's share, there still is missing about $350,000 of the loot.
