GELEV COUNTESS MAYREMAN LS. Temporary Leave Likely to Continue With New Hear- ing, Friends Say. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Februa 3.—Friends of the Countess of Cathcart now re- gard the mystery surreunding her sud- den admission to the United States on & 10day leave as indicative that she will be able to remain as long as she likes. They base their bellef on the con- tention that the acts she admitted to immigration inspectors do not constf tute a crime in South Africa, where they were committed, and that she will get a rehearing and be granted admission. Her attorney, Arthur Garfleld Hays, wired Secretary of Labor Davis last night, asking a rehearing. Her admis sion that she ran away to South Africa with the Earl of Craven in 1922 cannot be an admission of a crime of moral turpitude, Mr. Hays contends, because adultery is not a crime in South Africa. Holds Act Was Not a Crime. “As you know, our contention is that the countess committed an act, but not a crime,” he wired Mr. Davis.

D., February 23 —An _investigation to determine the cause of death of five nuns at St.| Joseoh’s Hospital continues following | the death of the fifth victim, Sister Secundls, yesterday. While no definite veason has been givert by local physicians for the deaths, it was re- ported that gas poisoning from wood stain applled to a recently completed vortion of the hospital might be re- sponsible. This bellef is doubted, however, as no workmen or patients have been affected. The first death occurred two weeks ago. A coroner’s jury, when Informed of the fifth death, adjourned until it receives medical reports. Dr. H. M. Banks, dean of the Uni- versity of North Dakota School of Medicine, will give a report of his examination of one of the victims within_a week Dr. T. M. Pearce, of the School of Chemistry of the North Dakota Agricultural College, says it is un- ely that wood stain caused the deaths, as nothing in the ordinary paints, stains or varnishes is toxic.

G SPLENDOR OF ARABIAN NIGHTS Mysterious “Mr. A.” of Scandal Fame to As- ! cend Throne. Color and Glamour of Orient Will Be Seen in Kashmir. | By the Associated Press. | JAMMU, Kashmir, Indfa, February | 23.—Magnificent celebrations, rivaling | in_ splendor those of | Nights, have been proceeding for the | last fortnight in connection with ac- | cession of the voung prince. Sir Harl | Singh, to the throne of Kashmir, | _Sir Harl is perhaps better known to he world at large as the mysterious Mr. A" in the sensational Robinson case tried at London a vear ago, but apparently Kashmir ha get this episode in the life of the hand- some and dashing heir to one of the greatest thrones in the Indian em- | pire. The religious ceremony of the coro- nation of the new Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir, as he will be known, will take place on Thursday. The gov. ernment alone is spending £200,000 (roughly $1,000,000) on the celebration, this sum being used for the ceremony, the festivities of inauguration, public work, food for the poor and enter- tainment. How much more is being spent by the Kashmir nabobs is prob- lematical, but it represents in the ag- gregate a huge fortune. The festivities are proceeding day and night and the famous palace itself is providing scenes of regal splendor h as only India can produce. Great reigning princes from all parts of the empire will attend the coronation which will be followed by a Durbar, one of the most picturesque functions of the east. Elaborate arrangements are being made for holding military reviews. The state elephants belonging to the yarious princes are being prepared for the gorgeous processions, In which NAVY PLANS SWAP FOR STRIP OF LAND House Bill Proposes Aban- donment by D. C. of In- dustrial Home Site. At the request of Admiral E. W. Eberle, Acting Secretary of the Navy, a bill was introduced in the House late yesterday by Representative Magee of Pennsylvania, which pro- vides for a land swap between the Federal and District governments, Property Proposed In Exchange. Under the terms of the biil as drafted by the Navy Department teh department would turn over to the District of Columbin Naval Observa- tory property at Massachusetts and Wisconsin avenue lying immediately outside the observatory circle, just east of Massachusetts avenue. In return, the District turns over to the department Industrial Home property lying within the observatory circle. Less than an acre is involved in the swap. But the Commissioners are author- ized to ‘‘utilize or sell,” once the ex- change has been made, all the re- vamped Industrial Home site. In case the property is sold the bill provides that the District government must take all the proceeds from the prop- erty embracing the originai site and half of the proceeds from the prop- erty acquired from the Navy Depart- ment to purchase & new site and erect another industrial home. ‘Wording of Bill. The bill reads: “Provided that the sald Board of Commissioners are further authorized and empowered on utilize or sell, as they see fit, all of that remaining portion of the said Industrial Home School site with im- provements thereon lying outside of the sald observatory circle, and also all the land and improvements there- on east of Massachusetts avenue hereunder authorized to be ac- quired * * *." Commissioner Cuno H. Rudolph de- nied emphatically today that the pro- vision in the naval appropriation bill proposing an exchange of land be- tween the Naval Observatory and the District would mean the abolition of the Industrial Home School. The Commissioners, he said, are in hearty accord with the general provisions of the bill, The Navy Department, under the terms of the bill, would turn over to the District the Naval Observatory property at Massachusetts and Wis- consin avenues lying immediately out- side the Naval Observatory Circle, ! just east of Massachusetts avenue. In return the District would give the observatory property in the Indus- trial Home School grounds. ‘Would Keep School Site. The transaction, according to Com- missioner Rudolph, would leave in the possession of the District the Indus- trial Home School, proper, in addition to a valuable plece of land fronting on Massachusetts avenue. The plans of the Commissioners, he explained, is eventually to sell this property and use |the funds to erect a new and modern building for the Industrlal Home School. There is no intention, he de- clared, to abandon the institution. A iproviso in the bill authorizing the Com- | missioners t® “utilize or sell, as they {see fit,” all the remaining portion of |the Industrial Home School site after the exchange is made, Mr. Rudolph {said, was inserted at the request of the | Commissioners. This was done, he sald, with the idea of permitting the Commissioners to use the land for the best interests of the District. Part of the land, he suggested, may be desir- able for school, park, playground or highway purposes. Doubts Move Justified. Maj. W. H Holcombe, Assistant En- gineer Commissioner, who had made a. detatled study of the proposed ex- { change of land, reported to the Com- | missioners last month when they had the bill under consideration that he did not_believe there is sufficlent need for additional park space in the vi- cinity of the Naval Observatory to justify developing the high-priced Massachusetts avenue frontage for that purpose “If sold,” he sald, “this ground would, no doubt, be developed with attractive residences, and a substan- tlal revenue would be derived from the sale. I believe this money could better be used to help provide new facilitles for the Industrial Home School, or for purchasing less expen- sive park property where the need therefore is greater” Fieet Leaves Panama.

SURBISRASED | BY JEWISH GENTER Off to Good Start Toward Paying $200,000 Mort- gage on New Building. With a $200,000 mortgage to be lift- ed from its new building at Sixteenth and Q streets, Washington's Jewish Community Center is off to an en- couraging start with $29,093 raised at a banquet last night in the Center auditorium and an additional $10,000 before the banquet.

The bill to abolish the Michigan avenue grade crossing, Brookland, D. C., by carrying the roadway over the railroad tracks, will be consid- ered at a hearing before the subcom. | mittee on streets and avenues of the | Senate District committee at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Senator Sackett of Kentucky will preside. The bill was prepared by the Dis- trict Commissioners as part of their program for the elimination of al! remaining railroad grade crossings. STAR, WASHINGTO AQUEDUCT BRIDGE REMOVAL IS URGED Secretary Davis Declares Ac- tion Should Be Taken at Earliest Opportunity. Early enactment of the bill pending in Congress providing for the removal of the obsolete Aqueduct Bridge, at Georgetotwn, s advocated by Secre. | tary of War Davis In a letter to Chair- man Morin of the House committee on military _affairs, who recently re- quested his views on the subject. The early removal of the old bridge, the Secretary of War said, is desirable because, {n addition to belng entirely useless, the existing structure inter- feres with the navigation of the river, is a source of great danger during floods and prevents the proper com. pletion of the Virginia approach of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which was built to take its place. “The plers of the old bridge,” Sec- retary Davis sald, “are in bad condi- tion. Except for the three new plers bullt to replace old ones beyond repalr, the mortar has been washed out below the water line, and in manay cases stones have fallen out, leaving cavitles. Two plers of the Aqueduct Bridge tend to block openings in the Key Bridge. Ice floes, as past experlence has shown, have been caught by the closely spaced plers of the Aqueduct Bridge, resuiting in damming the water. The combination of the Aque- duct and Key Bridge plers, increases that danger considerably. The Key Bridge plers were designed so as to minimize that danger. ““The abutment at the Virginia end of the Aqueduct Bridge projects some 60 feet inw the river beyond the abut- ment of the Key Bridge. approximately two-thirds of the wa- terway between the south abutment and pier No. 1 of the Key Bridge has filled up. By removing the projecting Virginia abutment of the Aqueduct Bridge and cleaning out the silt and construction debris the cross-sectional | area can be greatly increased. That additional area i3 imperatively needed, as it has been noted that during floods a damming effect of from 2 to 3 feet high has been caused by that obstruc- ton when a flood stage from 15 to 19 feet was reached. “The vertical clearance under the old Aqueduct Bridge is 30 feet at mean low water.. Through the central arch of the Key Bridge a vertical clearance of 64 feet for a width of 80 feet is avaflable. Derrick boats which could pass under the new bridge have been prevented by the restricted clearance of the old bridge from ascending the Potomac River to handle the product of the quarries above the bridge. It has also come to the attention of this department that at least one project to establish a navigation terminal above the bridge has been abandoned on ac- count of the uncertainty as to the removal of the Aqueduct Bridge. The grading and protection of the fill at the Virginia approach to the Key Bridge cannot be completed until the old Aqueduct Bridge abutment has been removed. “The amount named in the accom- panying bill is belleved to be sufficient to cover the cost of removal. I accord- ingly recommend the early enactment of this bill. M’DOWELL PREACHES AT LENTEN SERVICES Deplores Too Much Worry Over How World Started, in Address at Keith’s Referring indirectly to the various discusslons on the exact authenticity of certain passages of the Bible, Bishop Willlam F. McDowell of the Methodist Church, declared that “‘many are concerned much more with how the world was started than they are with how they themselves ought to go on,” at midday Lenten services at Keith's Theater today. The services marked the beginning of the eighth annual series of similar {services conducted under the auspices of the Laymen's Service Association of the Diocese of Washington in co- operation with the Federation of Churches. Bishop McDowell took as his text a translation of a part of the first chap- ter of St. John, which converts that section of the chapter into the present tense, as follows: e is in the world and the worid is being made by Him, and the world knows Him not. He comes into His own and they that are His own know Him not. But as many as do receive Him He gives the power to_become the Son of od.” The bishop declared that God is hampered in his work dus to the lack of help and co-operation on the part of the people. “Th only help you render,” he said, “is material or according to your own selfish ideals.” A vocal solo was sung at tho sery- ices by Jack Bowle, who is chairman of the music committee of the mid- day Lenten services. Invocation and benediction was by Rev. sames T. Marshall of the Georgetown Presby. terlan_Church. Dr. L. W. Glazebrook, chairman in charge of the services, announced that Tayson Smith, commissioner of edu- cation of the State of Massachusetts, will be the speaker tomorrow, and As- sistant Supt. of Schools Robert L. Haycock will preside. The services are to begin promptly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 12:30 o’clock, and at 12:25 o'clock on Tues- days and Thursdays.

Work Part of Routine to Save Trouble for Commissioners. Dr. Willlam Tindall, Washington historian extraordinary and chief of the Bureau of Information of the Dis- trict Building, prides himself on be- ing one of the best informed men in the Capital on congressional proceed- ings. Why shouldn’t he? Since 1917 he has read every edition of the Con- gressional Record from cover to cover without ~ complaining of “blind staggers. This careful check-up on congres- sional deliberations is not a matter of choice with Dr. Tindall; it's just a part of his regular routine. Other- wise, he says, he would seldom delve into one of the voluminous editions by sheer choice for something entertain- ing to read. The work was delegated to Dr. Tin- dall to save the Commissioners the rather painstaking and tedious search for congressional activities affecting the District. Every reference made to the District or any of its officlals on the floor of the House or Senate is underscored by Dr. Tindall, so that the Commissioners may find the choice comments by glancing hastily through a copy of the Record. After checking one copy carefully, Dr. Tindall marks three additionai coples in the same manner. Each of the three Commissioners receives a marked copy, and the fourth goes to 'FEBRUARY 23, 1926 RECORD DAILY MAFRIS & EW NG v 4 » DR. WILLIAM TINDALL. Daniel E. Garges, Commissioners.

VAN WINKLE DEFENDS BUREAU Appears at House Hearing in Behalf of Policewomen’s Measure. The Gibson bill to legally establish a_policewomen’'s bureau in the Dis- trict of Columbla was considered at a hearing today before the Rathbone subcommittee of the House District committee. Mrs. Mina Van Winkle, chief of the existing _policewomen'’s bureau, and George E. Worthington, attorney for the District Social Hyglene Soclety and also for the American Hygiene | Assoclation, were the principal wit- nesses. They emphasized that the principal reason for this legislation is to give permanency, through substantive law, to the policewomen's bureau, so that it may not be endangered at the whim of changing administrations. Mrs. Van Winkle stated that at the present time, although the police- women are overworked and need 5! additional women to put the force as now organized on an 8-hour day, yet half of their time is taken up with persistent efforts to maintain the ex- istence of the bureau. Mrs. Van Winkle told the commit- tee that if 100 additional policewomen | are allowed it would cost $1,800 aplece for 77 the first year, and then an annual iIncrease up to $2,100, which makes a salary increase of $138,600 the first year. In reply to questions by Repre- sentative Reid, Republican, of Illi- nois, Mrs. Van Winkle admitted that under the bill the policewomen will have powers that they do not have now, and then amended her state- ment by saying, “additional safe- guards.” Both Mrs. Van Winkle and Mr. Worthington insisted there is no e fort to take the bureau out of the control of the major and superin- tendent of police, but that it recog- nizes the major's complete author- ity. Mrs. Van Winkle told the commit- tee that the inspiration for the bill came from Maj. Hesse, but when pressed by Mr. Reld was reluctant to state whether Maj. Hesse had been as enthusiastic for this legislation since he became chief of police. Representative Hammer, Demo- crat, of North Carolina, and Mrs. Van Winkle had a spirited argument regarding _the attitude of police- women. _Mrs. Van Winkle vigor- ously defended the character and at- titude of all of the women in her bureau. MASONIC IDEALS TOLD. The ideals of Masonry were de- fined by Representative Willlams of Texas, grand master of the Masonic lodges of that State, in an address at the annual banquet of the Na- tional University Club last night at the Franklin Square Hotel.

The Georgetown Citizens' Associa- tion, reiterating its former stand, passed a resolution at a meeting in the Potomac Bank last night con- demning the Citizens' Advisory Coun cil as utterly useless and recommend- ing that it be abolished or that its| dectsions be made advisory only. The assoclation emphasized the fact, how- ever, that it did not :consider the council irregular in its proceedings. The assoclation, by a unanimous vote, went on record as being opposed to the election of council members and announced the intention of voic- ing opposition to the council before the Federation of Citizens’ Associa- tions and before the individual asso- clations in the city. Fhe council, members of the asso- clation, said, wastes a great deal of time, and, in addition, does not devote sufficient time to the consideration of District legislation to make opinions of the members of any value. It was statefl also that the council is not representative of the wishes of the majority of the people of the District and that it is a hindrance rather than a help to the public. The resolution ended with a statement branding the council as altogether in- adequate to the task of giving thor- ough consideration to District legi: lation and denying the right of the council to bind. any assoclation throngh its decisions Two other resolutions, one protest- ing against trucks being driven through the residential sections be- tween 6 p.m. and 7 a.m. and on Sun- days, and the other indorsing the completion of the George Washington Memorial and pledging the support of the assoclation to that end, were passed. -— No man will ever be bored as long as u_talk to him about himself.
