4 2 FOUR D. C. WOMEN TOATTEND PARLEY Sail Next Week for World Conference on Education in Scotland in July. Four women prominent in the edu- cational life of Washington will sail for Europe next week as a part of the American _delegation to the second World conference on education. The conclave will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland, the week of July 20. The women who will represent the District are Mrs. Raymond B. Mor- gan, former member of the Board of ducation and legislative represent- ative of the American Assoclation of University Women and legislative secretary of the National Council for Prevention of War; Miss Selma M Borchardt, vice president and legis- lative representative of the American Federation of Teachers; Miss Charl Williams, legislative _representative and field secretary of the National Education Association, and _Miss Marian Parkhurst, secretary of the women joint congre commit- tee and legis ive representative of the national committee for a depart- ment of education. Amity by The specific objectives of the con- ference are (1) to promote friendship, justice and good will among the na- tions of the earth through education; (2) to bring about world-wide toler- ance of the rights and privileges of all nations, regardless of race or creed: (3) to develop appreciation of the value and the inherited gifts of nationality through centuries of development and progress; (4) to secure more accurate and satisfying informa tion and more adeq e statements in the textbooks used in the schools of the various countries. One of the prinecipal activities with which the conference concerns itself is the emination of information concerning education in all its forms among all nations. To carry out this work, the last conference voted to undertake the organization of a per- manent bureau of research and pub. licity, whose duties shall be to make research studies of the various phases of educational development in the different countries; to publish an inter- national digest of education, to furnish information concerning the publica. tions of different countries so as to facilitate the exchange of periodicals and_articles and to publish special studies on education from time to time. A system of extensive exchange of teachers and professors was in dorsed. At the ensuing conference the question of the international uni versity will be discussed, provision for this having been made at the last conference. LEGION TO LAUNCH PERSONAL DRIVE Campaign for $5,000,000 Fund for Widows of Veterans Prom- ises Success. Education. Direct personal solicitation through- out Washington w be launched to- morrow by teams composed of mem- bers of the American Legion in inter- est of their national campaign for a $5.000,000 endowment fund for the care of disabled veterans and orphan- | ed children of the World War, Robert N. Harper, chairman of the citizens’ committee, and John Hays Hammond, rman of the advisory committee, announced tod Each of the 25 posts of the Ameri- can Legion has been directed by Frank L. Peckham, retiring department com- mander, who is at the head of the District Legion campaign committee, to appoint the members of its teams and inaugurate this clean-up cam- paign.

At the meeting of the department executive committee of the District of Columbia Department heid last Thursday night, it was announced, an excellent response wus made by mem- bers of ull the local posts. It Is the aim of the District Legionnaires to have each post account for per- sonal contribution from eac indi- vidual member. This would encour- age the people of Washington to con- tribute mc generously to the fund, appreciating that the Legionnaires themselves thoroughly believed in the purposes for which they were making personal contributions. A contribution to the fund by Brig. Gen. Frunk T. Hines, director of the United St Veterans’ Bureau, hs been reported to the national head- quarters. It was given to Charles Riemer, commander of the Stuart Walcott Post, and to Past Department Comdr. Peckham. Owing to the fact that Gen. Hines is a_member of the George Washington Post, No. 1, the first unit of the American Legion to be chartered, the check was turned over to Wallace Streater, the com- mander of that post, and will be counted on the quota of the post.

PEDESTRIAN’S CHANCE OF DEATH IS LITTLE LESS THAN MOTORIST’S Reporter Gifted With Spirit of Statistical Inquiry Braves Heat to Prove That There Is No Sense in Walking for Safety. Not to detract from today’s game or burden the reader with too many figures on a day of rest, The Star, nevertheless, feels inclined to get off its chest the startling discovery that If you are a pedestrian you s about as much chance of getting killed on the streets as a motorist, and vice versa To be exact, and hoping the reader will_not inquire too closely into the mathematics of the matter, a_pedes- trian in Washington has one-eightieth of 1 per cent of a chance of being knocked for a row of tombstones every time he appears on the uunet The motorist, be he driver or senger, has a slightly greater ri viz., eleven-eight-hundreds of 1 cent of a chance. Motorist's Chance Greater. alcwlation will show that the risk is just one-eight-hun- 1 per cent greater than the pedestrian The figur are based on recor traffic fatalities in the office of fic Director Eldridge. It was very simple to get the records, but cal- culating the percentage of accident hazard per pedestrain and per motor- ist w not so e: on a warm after- noon such as yesterday boasted Leaving logarithms aside and dis- pensing with the too-exact slide rule, the perspiring reporter, after brush- ing up on his long division and frac- tions, succeeded in filling an ordinary piece of copy paper with a maze of figures that had him groping for air inside of half an hour. Well, any w: look at this and then figure it out for yourself if you must have your figures explicit: 55 Pedestrians Killed. In the 12-month period from July 1, 1923, to June 30, 1924, a total of 55 pedestrians were killed by automo- biles in the District of Columbia. During the same period 26 motor- ists were killed. If you know the total number of in Washington and the BORAH RAPS BACK AT HANKOW CRITICS Repeats That Foreigners Are Re- sponsible for Disturbance in China. By the Associated Press. Replying to a resolution adopted by the American Chamber of Commerce at Hankow, criticizing his recent ut- terances on China, Chairman Borah of the Senate foreign relations com- mittee, declared yesterday that the Chamber was “a part of the imperial- istic combine which would oppress and exploit the Chinese people and charge the result of their offenses to some one else.” They are perfectly willing,” he serted, “to continue In connection h others these exploitations and they care verey little if it drags the American people into war and sacri- fices thousands of our people.” Any one who is familiar with what has been going on in China for the last 10 years, and the manner in which foreigners have disregarded and bruited the Chinese interests, will have no doubt as to what is the real cause of the trouble in China at the present time. So far as I am con- cerned, they are not going to hide the cause of the trouble. These inter- ests, including the American Cham- ber of Commerce in China, are the real cause of this trouble, “I venture to say that if the foreign interests in China will respect the rights of the Chinese people and deal with them in justice; if they would even give them the rights and respect the rights as they were defined in the Disarmament Conference, there would be no trouble in China with foreign powers. “In making the former statement, I expressed my personal views, but I m prepared with the facts to dis- close a condition of affairs which would be exceedingly distasteful, in my opinion, to the American Cham- ber of Commerce.” W.Hntq nd | ball | total number of motorists it is a very easy manner for a ]v@r:mn with a fig- ) mo the use of the word “if” above. < v to ascertain these to how this paper, through s enterprise, went about getting them: A search was made of existing records of population, voluminous sta- tistics were compiled and perused, much data were consumed, and after all the information was in hand the grand result easily was adduced by the somewhat difficult operation of multiplying 100,000, the number of cars in Washington, by two, possibly representing the total number of per- sons who use automobiles, either as front or rear drivers. Pedestrian’s Lot Harder. That settled the motorist problem, but there still remained the question of how many pedestrians there are Space does not permit an elaboration here of the mathematical researches entailed in this connection, but suffice it to say that the grand total of 400,- 000 pedestrians was finally arrived at, in round figure: Irrespective of these figures, Direc tor Eldridge has his own opinion that the pedestrian’s lot is the harder. “The pedestrian ha: in the neck for a long time, dridge said yesterday. ‘“That is why we have taken special pains in the new traffic regulations to protect them. I believe the motorists are respecting the pedestrian’s rights more and more.”" “Have you tried to cr vania avenue about 5 week day?" the traffic asked. “Well, you can't expect every reg: ulation to be enforced 100 per cent,’ he replied. “The pedestrian has the right to prosecute a motorist who fails to respect the former's right of way at an intersection.” Providing, of cours the pedestrian recover we may add, First Sergeant Retired.

C, SHEPHERD T0 FIGHT T0 SECURE ESTATE Probate of McClintock Will Expected to Be Opposed by Youth’s Fiancee. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, Jure 27.—William Dar- ling Shepherd, freed of charges of murdering_his millionaire foster son, William Nelson McClintock, tonight prepared to fight for probate of the estate, which is virtually his under- the terms of the will. Miss Isabelle Pope, flancee of young McClintock, was given an $8,000 annuity. Shep- herd drew the will. Miss Pope, with several cousins, has indicated she will oppo#e Shep- herd in Probate Court when the case is called July 1. Shepherd was assured today that he would not be prosecuted on a charge of having slain Mrs. Emma Nelson McClintock, young McClin- tock’s mother. Celebrates Acquittal. Shepherd, who had been in jail since March 13, was with his_wife, Mrs. Julie Shepherd, at their Kenil worth home today. He spent last night at a downtown apartment, where, with his wife and a party of friends, he celebrated his acquittal with a banquet. Chief Justice Harry Olson of th: Municipal Court, who instigated the investigation into McClintock’s death that resulted in Shepherd's indict ment. said he expected to continue to investigate the case, and to prosecute, if that is possible. He criticized the conduct of the State’s case by Robert E. Crowe, State's attorney, and his staff. Mr. Crowe ignored Judge Olson completely today in a brief comment, and indicated his intention of asking a “no bill” of the grand jury on the charge that Shepherd had siain Mrs. McClintock. Juror Defends Verdict. The juror who held out for five hours for a guilty verdict against his 11 associates, today told reporters that the “verdict of not guilty is the only one the jury could have given because the State did not nt sufficlent evidence.” What action, if any, will be taken against Charles Faiman, indicted for murder with Shepherd, is problemati- cal. Faiman, proprietor of a school of sclence which doctors discredited, said he had given Shepherd typhoid germs to administer to McClintock, and had been promised $100,000 for his part in the alleged plot. The State asked the court to call Faiman as a witness, refusing to vouch for him. Faiman himself was making his own plans. “IY I get out of this with a whole hide,” he told reporters today, *I intend to leave Chicago.” DAVIS’ KANSAS FORCES LOSE ON COMMITTEEMAN | Doolittle, Former Representative, Wins Fight for Democratic Post by One Vote. Bs the Associated Press. TOPEKA, Kans., June 27.—Dudley Doolittle of Strong City, Kans., for- mer Representative in Congress, was elected Democratic national commit- teeman by the State central commit- tee here today by a single vote. The final vote was 46 to 42, with 45 neces- sary to elect. Election came on the seventh bal- lot, which resulted: Doolittle, 48; George McGill of Wichita, 42. The result is regarded as a defeat for the forces backed by Jonathan M. Davis, former Governor. Davis said before leaving his home tonight the election might bring about a condition that might make it neces- sary for his candidacy for guber- natorial honors in 1926, CREW FIRES RUM BOAT. Hailed by Cutter, Flee in Dory, But Swamp in Heavy Seas KEY WEST, Fla., June 27 (#.— Three men, a launch and a cargo of assorted liquors, valued at $3,500, were seized by the Coast Guard cutter 298 off Key West tonight. The men on the launch, which was proceeding without lights, set fire to their boat when they were hailed by the cutter, also without lights. They attempted to make a getaway in a dory, which was swamped almost immediately by the high seas. They were later rescued. After a 30-minute battle the blaze on the launch was extinguished, al- though a portion of the liquor cargo was destroyed, the bottles bursting as the water from the cutter's hose struck them. The boat was towed into Key West. e Lieut. Bryan Reassigned. Second Lieut. Bert N. Bryan, 7th Infantry, at Anchorage, Alaska, has been assigned to the 17th Infantry at Fort Cook, Nebr. 11™AND _G STS.

The land, however, is reserved until such time as it is taken over by the Government. The owners of the land are expected to donate it to the State Government, for preserva- tion as @ park and watershed, and in its virgin state it will be retained. At any rate there will be no buld- ing on it, and it will not be allowed to be cut up in any subdivision plans that will or might be made in the fu- ture. Favors Regional Plan. Maj. Lee expressed himself as quite in favor of the idea of the regional development plan, and said that the people of Maryland are fully awake to the fact that they live on the bor- ders of the most beautiful city in the world.

With all of this planning work al- ready done, it will be seen that Mary- land has anticipated the regional de- velopment, and is ready to join hands for the great expansion into a metro- politan district. But the Maryland au- thoritles had not been approached about the matter. When Lieut. Col. Clarence O.
