TIGER'I_' UR?SES SCHOOLING FOR U. S. CITIZENSHIP Education Commissioner Speaks at Hood College Opening Ceremonies. Special Dispatch to The Star. ERIC Md., September 19. ship should be the out- objective of education, . John J. Tigert, Washington, United ates commissioner of edu- cation, Thursday night told 500 young women at the opening ceremonies of Hood College, one of the leading colleges for women in this sectlon of the East. **At one time,” he said, “'80 per cent of the citizens of the United S carried out the privilege of suffrage. This percentage of voting persons ha. gradually decreasedl until less than 50 per cent of the electorate went to the polls at the last national election. Citizenship should be exercised to a greater extent than it is, and it should be made a part of women's educa- tio ‘CivilizatioR has made sweeping strides in the last few centuries, Dr. Tigert told the young women. “Aris- totle,” he said, * s the greatest sclentist, yet the most ignorant person of the present day knows more than he did.

PSYCHOLOGY TRAINING IS HELD NEED OF BENCH English Criminologist Evils of Justice to Ignorance %f This Subject. By the Associated Press. LONDON, September 19.—Dr. Hamblin Smith, a leading English eriminologist, attributes many of the evils of modern criminal justice to the ignorance of psychology among judges. In a lecture on the origin of crime before the Oxford School of Women Magistrates, he sald that Dprobably 30 per cent of crimes were of the mentality and the motives of the offender. An understanding of the Freudian psychology he believes to be ab- solutely essential to an understanding to the mentality and the motives of criminals. While attempts are now being made in some prisons, as at Birmingham, to cure criminals by psycho-analysis, Dr. Smith said, a prison was far from the best place to carry on such treatment. Until some better arrangement can be made he thinks it will be necessary to require members of the bench to study psycholog: Blames BRYAN ESTATE SOON WILL BE APPRAISED Any Estimates of Value Now Are Purely Guesswork, Former Secretary Asserts. By the Associated Pre: MIAMI, Fla., September 19.—The world will know the value of the Wil- liam Jennings Bryan estate the early part of next month, when William Jennings Bryan, Jjr., returns from California to take up the work of set- tlement. W. E. Thompson, former secretary to the commoner, sald that present estimates of the Bryan fortune, run- ning from $500,000 to more than $1,000,000 are purely guesses. To answer many questions and re- fute ‘many estimates—some of them made by close friends of Mr. Bryan— Mr. Thompson hazarded the opinion that the estate will not total $1,000,- 000, because of statements made by Mr. Bryan before his death. Mr. Bryan rmitted himself to be quoted that his estate was worth more than $500,000. As it stands now, not even Mrs. Bryan knows the exact value and will not until informed by the commission appointed to appraise it. Art School to Reopen.

DAVIS PUSHES PLAN FOR GREAT SCHOOL Secretary Proposes Master High Building in Place of Present Quarters. Shortly before the convening of Congress in December Secretary of | Labpr Davis plans to lay before the chairmen of the Senate and House District committees and school au- thorities the plan he has in contem- plation for a master high school build- | ing for Washington—to absorb all the high school population now centered in the five large high schools of the city and to serve as a nucleus for a high school plant which Mr. Davis hopes may become a model for the country. The Labor Secretary first proposed his plan for a masfer high school three vears ago. He took it up with Senator Capper and® Ernest Green- wood, a member of the Board of Edu- cation, last Spring after Congress had adjourned. Dormant over the Sum mer months, the project is again td be revived, and Mr. Davis is planning a meeting with Senator Capper and Representative Zihlman, chalrman of the two District committees in Con- gress, with members of the Board of Education and Supt. Ballou again to push the project. Still Another Later. Mr. Davis views the $19,000,000 five- school bullding program as a program for improvement and better ment of the public schools of the Dis- trict of Columbia. This program, he points out, can be greatly improved by construction of a large high school plant somewhere in the northwest ection of the city, in line with the trend of population, to serve as a cen tral high school for the city until such time as it shall be crowded, as Central chool now is. When that time construction of an- other great high school plant of hun- dreds of rooms, similar to the first, but in un opposite section of the city. Technical, vocational and academi: courses included in the present Washington high school curriculum would all be offered in the great master high school proposed by the Labor Secretary. It would serve, under the plans he will outline to the members of Congress and school authorities, as a senior high school for the entire District of Columbia, the present high schools to be re- tained as junior high schools, to serve as feeders to the great central plant Mr. Davis regards the present as the time to embark on such an am- bitious project, with the money avail- able for school construction over five years to be spent as the school au- thorities and District officials decide. The great project he has envisioned he sees as a national shrine of inter- mediate education, combining under one roof all the courses offered in the high schools of the city—an educa- tlonal center without a parallel in the Nation, a model for the world and the most eflicient co-ordination of high school units possible under any educational scheme. Save by Buying Now. He regards the present as the log- fcal time to purchase the property contemplated—1,000 acres or more— to include athletic flelds, a stadium and all the adjuncts to the great plant he sees growing up on the out- skirts of the citv—because real es- tate values are certain to rise and to_buy now would save money. “Washington has the most wonder- ful opportunity given to any city to lead the Natlon and the world, in an educational project whose scope will be greater than any other similar proposal,” Mr. Davis says. “Now is the time to undertake it, and 1 propose to see what can be done bout it.” The plan has met with the favor of Mr. Greenwood, with whom Mr. Davis discussed it at length, shortly before he left on a trip to Europe during the Summer. Mr. Greenwood claims the Central High School plant would solve the high school problem of Washington for many years, pointing out that the present high schools can only take care of the present pupil en- rollment. comes he propos W.

NEW YORK, September 19.—Al- though submersion was given as the cause of death after an autopsy on the body of John Lewklewicz, 33, ed- itor of the Polish Morning World, found today in the East River, a chemical examination has been or- dered by the medlcal examjner. Ac- cording to friends Lewkiewicz was believed to have been the victim of foul play. He disappeared last Tues- day on his way home from work. Friends declared he had no reason to commit suicide.

Preparations were completed last week for what promises to be a com- plete and positive answer to critics of the United States air service. While a naval board of inquiry will get under way at Lakehurst, N. J., tomorrow to determine the causes leading to col- lapse of the dirigible Shenandoah, the President’s special board of inquiry will open public hearings at the Capi- tal here. Assembling at the White House last Thursday, this board went over the general subject of the in quiry with President Coolidge, and chose as its chalrman Dwight W. Mor- row, financier of New York. Col. Wil- liam Mitchell, whose sensational charges stirred up the whole aircraft controversy, will probably be a star witness before both investigating com- mittees. Naval officers may object to his testimony before the Lakehurst board, however, claiming that he knows little of lighter-than-air craft, and that what he had to say would not be the opinion of an expert. The routine machinery which will prepare for his courts-martial is oper- ating now, and the War Department expects to have its case against him completed soon. The trial probably will awalt the completion of the in- vestigation by the President’s board, however. Shapurjl Saklatvala, a Communist | member of the British House of Com- mons, cannot come to the United States as a delegate to the Interparlia- | mentary Unjfon, which opens its ses- slons here the Capital, September 30. Secretary of State Kellogg so de- cided last week, when he ordered Sak- latvala’s passport canceled, on the al- legation that the Communist had ;hrsmemad to spread his propaganda here. tion who had declared they would not come to the unfon because Saklatvala was coming? have since declared they would come, as the objectionable mem ber has been removed. Secretary Kel logg reached his decision against the advice of Chairman Borah of the Sen- ate foreign relations committee, who thought it would be best to let the man come and then expel him from the country if he violated our laws. A case of much interest to organ- fzed labor was decided in the Police Court of the District last week when a woman, charged with picketing non-union store, was fined $10 for violating a section of the District code which prohibits interfering with in- tended customers of a store. The de- fendant, it is charged, displayed a banner and® walked up and down in front of the store, advising passers. that the store was a non-union establishment. The Police Court over- ruled contentions of the defense coun- | :x;l I:x t picketing was permitted under b solely on the ground that it violated a specific police regulation. Labor may appeal the case to higher courts. A report of an impartial investiga- tion of how prohibition works in the United States, released in sections to the newspapers last week by the Fed- €ral Council of Churches, which made ‘t‘he investigation, aroused the ire of dry” leaders and failed to show any- able fate of prohibition in the coun. try. Reaching general conclusions which showed some benefits and about as many disadvantages of prohibition, the report was answered by Clarence True Wilson, general secretary of the board of temperan-e, prohibition and public morals of the Methodist Church, who declared, in effect, that whoever wrote the report of the investigation could claim compensation from the “wets.” Brig. Gen. Smedley Butler, completes two years as director of public safety of Philadelphia in De. cember, said last week that his work | has made him believe that “in the long run bootleggers and crooks are £0ing to be defeated in this country. That will be only when the people | avoid petty law breaking themselves." Gen. Butler has admitted that his much advertised efforts to clean up Philadelphia_have been unsuccessful, but he attributes failure to lack of co-operation from the citizens. Prince Ahmed Seif El Dine, brother- inlaw of the King of Egypt, who escaped some weeks ago from a pri- vate sanitarium in England, where he had been confined for 25 years, has been located at the home of a rela- | tive near Constantinople. He will be examined by alienists of the Turkish government, it is stated, and it found sane will lay a claim to a fortune of more than $15,000,000, which is hcing | held in trust for him in England. Although President Mustapha Ke. mal of Turkey has divorced his wife from whom he is credited with hav- ing received his rather advanced ideas concerning the modern woman,his di- vorce has failed to change his ideas, and last week addressing a large audi- ence he urged the women of Turkey to “show their faces to the world” and throw aside the veil which years of tradition and custom have forced upon them. Every hour of the day meant tHe death of two persons from automobile accidents last year, a report of the National Safety Council, prepared for its consideration at the coming na- tional congress reveals. America's death rate from automobiles leads the world with 14.8 fatalities for every 100,000 of population. This figure is compared with the casualty rate of 5.2 in England, 4.3 in Scotland, 4.6 in New Zealand and 3.6 in Canada. Lieut. Alvord J. Willlams, naval aviation pilot and picked by the Navy to fly in the Pulitzer airplane races next month, set an unofficial world record for speed last week when he flew a speclally constructed Curtiss racer at the rate of five miles a min- ute or 305 miles an hour. The rec- ord, which is not counted as such, was made while testing out the plane which he is to fly. Politics. Politicians and the plain, everyday voters were digesting the results of two important campaigys which held ahe interest of the whole country last week. In New York Mayor Hylan, after two terms as mayor of the largest city in the world, went down to de- feat before the forces of Tammany Hall, which supported him in his two previous campaigns. With him Wil- llam Randolph Hearst, millionaire newspaper publisher, experienced one of his most decisive setbacks, as he has supported Hylan since the first. Allied with the forces accounting for the Hylan rout was Gov. Al Smith, who, because of his victory in placing his own candidate in the mayor's office, becomes a prominent possi- bllity as the next Democratic presi- dentlal _candidate. State Senator James J. Walker now becomes the Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York. There is some talk of a third ticket, but experts see little chance for its success. In Wisconsin young Bob La Fol- lette, jr., 30-year-old son of the former Senator, won in a walk from the “regular” Republican candidates who were in the field against him to se- cure the nomination for the Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the elder La Follette's death. Young Bob's victory was seen by political analysis as a tribute to his father, but at the same time the young man showed vote-getting proclivities which will make him a permanent factor in Members of the Brtlish delega- | yton act, and decided the case | who | Wisconsin politics. His election to the Senate this month is taken as a foregone conclusion Another senatorial campaign is al- ready under way in Illinois, although the primarfes there will not be held until next April. The fight Is for the seat held by Senator Willlam B. Mc- Kinley, who is a candidate to succeed himself, and Col. Frank L. Smith, chairman of the Republican State central committee. As both of them are regular Republicans and stanch | supporters of President Coolidge, there is little or no sign of an “issue” between them. Friends out of poli- tics and both of them rich and well liked, their fight is arousing little ; interest outside the State. The vacancy in the Senate caused | by the death of Senator Ladd of North | Dakota probably will be filled by ap-| pointment, Gov. Sorlie of North Da- kota told Senator Ladd of the same| State last week. There still seems to be a difference of opinion as to whether the laws of North Dakota permit a special appointment, or whether a special election is neces- sary. The governor was represented by Senator Ladd as believing that a special_election would be unwarranted because of the expense invoived. Religious. Pope Benedict XI, whose motto is “Peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ,” will establish a new church hat of “hrist, King of the |\\'or|d, on New Year's The new |feast, according to dispatches from Rome last week, will emphasize the church’s conviction that the world peace which all people are | must rest upon unive rec |of the Kingdom of Ch | respective of nationali 1 Upon the resul of 15 conferences {of the Methodist Episcopal Church | South, which are to be held in Octo |ber, and two conferences which are to take place the latter part of this month, rests the question of the eventual merger of the northern and southern branches of the church. The vote on unification ands at 211} {in favor and 370 A three- | fourths majority of stes cast is |necessary for the unification move- ment to become effective. Economic. ‘With the arrival of the French debt commission and the opening of nego- tiations for settlement of its debt less| {than a week away, the Treasury has }b(‘en furnished the results of an in vestigation by the Institute of E | nomics, an unofficial organization here, | which declares that France cannot pay anything in the near future on her debt extept by methods which | would intensify her general financial | difficulties. Meanwhile the officials of the Amert can Debt Funding ymmission, who |will deal with the debt question, in- |stst that terms to France will be gov. | erned entirely by the French ability [to pay, and will not be based upon with Great | | ance Minister Catllaux, who is v this country at the head of the French debt mission, out- {lined his plans before the French | cabinet before leaving Paris ldst week and was given full power to conduct the negotiations. The Postoffice Department last week opened bids for contracts for earry- ing the mail on eight new air route: thus registering another step in this | Department's accomplishments as ploneer in development of the ai plane as an agency for commercial transport. The new afr lines, which are branches of those already in ope- ration, will directly connect “through the air” 29 important cities, in addition to the 16 which are al- ready on the main air routes. Other cities will be benefited by speedier mail facilities resulting from the air- plane and train service combined. Though each individual motorist will probably deny it applies to him, a survey conducted by New York en gineers of transportation in Washing- ton reveals the fact that it costs about 11 cents a mile to run the “average’ | automobile, and this cost is compared with the cost of 2.44 cents a mile to ride a street car, 3.66 cents a mile to ride a bus and 23.90 cents a mile to ride in taxicabs. The cost of main. taining an automobile in the District, counting depreciation, taxes and other expenses, comes to about $600 a year. Supporting their argunients that a lower tax rate brings proportion- ately larger returns, Treasury offi- clals last week revealed that in spite of the reduced rates of tax ation in 1924 tax collections in the fiscal year of 1925 were only $21 038,989 less than collections made higher rates during the preceding 12 months. A feature of the sessions of the League of Nations council in Geneva last Week was the introduction of a{ resolution by Louis Loucheur, speak- ing for France, favoring a world economic conference. The proposal was based on the idea that as the league desires world peace, economic peace must first be secured, and that technical bureaus should work to this end by preparing a conference to study ~ “the economic differences standing in the way of a restoration of general property and the best method of surmounting those diffi- culties and avoiding disputes.” Art. Two Rembrandt portraits valued at more than $50,000 will come into the possession of some American museum as the result of a court de- cision last week. Joseph B. Widener, Philadelphia sportsman and financier, purchased the portraits in 1921 from Prince Felix Youssoupoff, who had fled from Russia after, it is pre- sumed, he had slain the monk, Ras. putin: Not long ago the prince came to America and declared he gave the picture to Widener only as security for a loan. Widener argued other- wise, the case got into court, and ‘Widener won last week. The Phila- delphian intends to bequeath the pictures to some museum in memory'| of his father. VALUABLE GOLD DEPOSIT DISCOVERED IN ITALY Quartz Mine Expected to Yield Half a Million Tons, Containing Metal Worth $8,000,000. By the Assoclated Press. ROME, September 19.—A deposit of gold-bearing quartz, which, it is esti- mated, is capable of yielding 500,000 tons of quartz worth 200,000,000 lire (about $8,200,000) has been discovered near Pallanza, in northern Pledmont, along the Salvaspezza stream. An assay by experts has showed that each ton of quartz will yield four grams of gold, and the deposit, which is in the form of an antiolinal stra- tum, can be worked without galleries. Use of fiber from the dwarf palm of Morocco in_stuffing mattresses and also for cushions and linings of auto- mobiles, which was popular during the war, is being revived. | executea (. U WILL LAUNCH NEW YEAR TUESDAY Record Enrollment Is Fore- cast—Many Changes Made. New Buildings Progress. Catholic University will start its thirty-seventh academic year Tues- day morning with an enrollment in excess of last year's record-breaking mark of 2,300. The formal opening of the unlversity, however, will take | place this morning at 10:30 o'clock, when solemn high mass will be cele- brated in the crypt of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception by Mgr. Edward A. Pace, vice rector. The exercises will be preceded by an academic procession starting from Divinity Hall at 10:15 o’clock. Mem- bers of the faculty and graduate stu dents will appear in academic cos- tume. While the untversity will officially start its new term Tuesday, the entire day will be devoted to the registra- | tion of students. Lectures will begin in all departments Wednesday. | Library Is Progressing. After a Summer of activity the university campus presents a greatly changed and more pleasing aspect. | The new John K. Mullen Memorial | Library, the corner stone of which was set in place last April by Cardi- Hayes of New York, is now more than half completed. It is situated on the highest point of the campus and opposite the crypt of the National | Shrine. Its Byzantine architectur in Kentucky limestone, | makes a balancing pendant to the white Romanesque of the cathedral which it faces. But' a stone's throw from the library and annexed to the campus side "of the chemical laboratory stands the new auditorium, the gift of Marquis Martin Maloney of Phils delphia. It resembles a small tem- ple and its Gothic architecture is of marked beauty. The building is com- plete, with the exception of the in- stallation of seating fixtuges, which will accommodate 800 people. It will be especially equipped for sclentific lectures and the showing af motion pictures. Improvements Are Made. In addition to these changes, many improvements have been made to the old buildings, the roads and grounds. Caldwell Hall has been repointed nd Albert Hall has been completely reno- vated, every room painted, the wood- work refinished and all new lighting fixtures installed. A new road has been lald on the west side of the grounds and the old roads have been resurfaced. The university attracted s0 many visitors this Summer that it was necessary to add two new guides 10 the staff and to establish a central bureau of information A ma in the crypt of the National Shrine, on which work steadily goes forward. Larger crowds of visitors are fre- quenting the shrine. A pllgrimage of 400 from Brooklyn will visit the shrine today to observe the fif versary of the laying of the found: tion stone. The work of installing the marble flooring of the crypt will get under way the first of October, and it is announced that with the be ginning of the séhool year 10 m: will be said daily in the crypt—five at 6:30 and five at 7 am.
