The hunt for the prescription-steal- ing “patient,” who during the last week robbed three local physicians of blanks on which liquor may be ob- tained, was continuing today with a wider aspect since notification of pro- hibition agents in other cities to watch for forged prescriptions. Prohibition agents engaged in the investigation are convinced that the voung man who made away with the blanks of Dr. E. C. Schnelder of 1742 U street, Dr. Charles Dugan of 3066 Q street and Dr. Edward D. Williston {of 1512 S street is possibly one of the {most clever workers against prohibi- | tion who have yet started operations. Dr. Schnelder said that when the young man first appeared at his office he was immaculately dressed and had a large roll of money. He then gave his address us the Mayflower Hotel, paid readily for treatment of a com- plaint and departed. This dapper young chap returned a few days | thereafter, and his duced the confldence of the attendant |at Dr. Schneider's office when the “patient” announced he had an ap- pointment with Dr. Schnelder for 3:30 o'clock. Although it was not the habit of the physiclan to make appoint- ments at that hour, the confidence engendered by his previous appear- ance resulted in his being ushered nto the physician's office to wait for him. The young man disappeared shortly thereafter. The liquor pre- scriptions went A. W. O. L. at the ! same time, Practicaily the same ruse was used on the other two physiclans, with the resultant loss of prescription blanks. Chief Gerald Murphy of the local prohibition offices said today that ar- rangements had been made so that almost as soon as any one of the pre- scriptions stolen from the physiclans is turned In at a drug store in this ity, and shortly after they are iched” for liquor in any nearby ity, notification will be given the pro- hibition unit and an attempt to trail down the ‘“‘casher” of the presriptions * UP)—Three Vassar Coilege girls nive been expelled for reasons of dis- ipltne.

Ray That Will Wreck Flying Aircraft, Claimed by Russian; Offers It to Army By the Associated Press. LENINGRAD, Russia, February 8. —Prof. A. N.

His appliance, he says, will project con- centrated heat waves 25 miles, with loss of only onethird of their strength His invention, he says. puts the mysterious ‘“‘Matthews rays” in the background, and he intends to offer it ‘lto the Red army.

HARRISBURG, Pa., February 8 (4). —Farmers’ co-operative organizations in Pennsylvania did a combined busi- ness of $32,400,000 in 1924, figures made public’ yesterday by the State Department of Agriculture showed. The compllation, the first ever made by the department, disclosed that five co-operative associations in several of the Eastern States transacted business amounting to $26,049,000 with Pennsyl- vania’s farmers, and that 94 local co- operatives had total sales of §6,360,000. IS ment. In every case the claims falled to stand up under official test. The alleged invention of H. Grin- dell-Matthews, an Englishman, gained the widest publicity. In April, 1924, he announced the perfection of a “di- abolical ray” which would prevent tha operation of alrplanes in a wide area. ‘The British government, after ex- haustive tests, declared it harmless. Grindell-Matthews came to the United States in August, 1924, and, under tests by American experts, the “ray" falled to harm even mosquitoes in the Long Island marshes, where it was tried out. Erwin R. Scott, an inventor of San Francisco, disputed the Britisher's claim to the death ray Invention, as- serting he was the original discoverer of the apparatus. He subsequently of- fered his invention to the American Government, but his request to be permitted to test his rays on air- planes and ships was declined. PRINCE CAROL RECOVERS.
