4 * BRENNAN T0 PUSH DRY REFERENDUM Starts Move for Proposal for Medification in State Ballot. Be the Associated Press CHICAGO, May ~—George Brennan, Democ national mitteeman, has sponsored a move to give voters of Illinois an opportunity to express themselves on the prohibi tion question in the November elec- tion, at the same time that he runs for Senator on a “wringing wet” plat- form. Petitions to place a prohibition pro- posal, similar to the one to be voted on in New York State, on a ballot under the provisions of the State pub- lic policy act, will be circulated imme- diately, Mr. Brennan announced. The text of the proposition is the one drawn by Elihu Root, former Secre- t: of State, and incorporated in the referendum bill passed by the New York State Legislature and recently signed by Gov. Al Smith. “Shorn of its legal phraseology Mr. Brennan said. “the Root propo: tion means that it is left for each State to decide for itself its measure of prohibition. It means, for instance, that dry South Carolina cannot im-! pose its will on wet lllinois and wet Tllinois_cannot fmpose its will on dry South Carolina.” Merely Seeks Modification. Brennan believed the proposed ire was so worded that there ap ared no danzer of it being attack the ground that it nullifi eighteenth amendment.

Dr. Fosdick is one of the outstanding enemies of the Christian faith.” In support of his charge he de- scribed the refusal of Dr. Fosdick to accept an insistence upon baptism by immarsion, and id that the modernist leader had circularized the | Baptist denomination fostering the principle of inclusive membership in the church, by which baptism in any form would cease to be a requisite of membership. “That is perfectly consistent with the Fosdick position,” Dr. Shields sald. “‘But Baptists are revelation- ists rather than rationalists, and when they vyield their belief in the feriptures as the infallible and au- thoritative word of God. they sur- render the last logical reason for their existence.” Dr. Shields indicated to the mem- hers of the Bible Union how they could units in the Northern Baptist Convention this week in fighting for a statement definitely opposing mod- ernism, such as the Southern Con- vention adopted last week at Hous- ton, Tex. He said true believers in the Bap- tist doctrine should oppose any “mid- dle-of-the-road” poli which_would admit of any acceptance of Baptists who do not conform to the funda- mentalist belief in immersion. He pointed out that the resolution adopt- ed at the recent Chicago confere of Baptist leaders describes a Baptist as one who recognizes immersion as the “‘only scriptural baptisn ing the way open, Dr. Shields warned, to a policy which includes other forms of baptisn Should the Northern Bap- tist Convention adopt this proposed resolution, he said, it would be tanta- mount to “an absolute surrender to the demands of the Fosdick church.” Eventually, every true believer will find, the speaker declared, that | the SCOPE OF FENNING PROBE UNDECIDED BY INVESTIGATORS (Continued from First Page.) Commissioner for premiums turned into the company since he took the oath of officg last June. “‘What's the purpose of that?” ask- ed Representative Hersey, Republi- can, of Maine, who, although not a member of the special committee, is privileged to participate in the hear- ings. “I'll leave that to the committee,” repiled Mr, Blanton. Is it to show that Mr. Fenning had 2 connection with the bonding com- paly? Do you claim he has no right 0 do business on the outside while Commissioner? “No, replied Mr. Blanton, hesi- tatingly, “but under the Magruder v Drury deeision of the United States Supréme Court he has no right to make a penny from the estates of his % even though they are not the Blanton Fails to Answer. “Do you claim any business done outside of his duties as Commissioner is illegal?” pursued Mr. Hersey, and without answering, Mr. Blanton be- zan to read from the Supreme Court decision. Mr. Hogan requested that Mr. Blanton be instructed to state the facts in his case and argue the law later. Chairman Dyer declared was more the fault of the committee members in asking Mr. Blanton for his opinion, which, however, they have a right to do. The entire legal papers in the probate case of Isaac T. Fellows, a ward of Mr. Fenning, who died in St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, were introduced by Mr. Blanton. The purpose, he said, was to show that the man’s step- mother had employed Mr. Fenning to file a claim against the estate, that claim later was proved to be fraudulent and the money reverted to the District. Mr. Hogan deni¢d the facts stated, saying the District Commissioners decided to oppose the claim of the woman and when this was done, the claim was withdrawn. Mr. Blanton said the papers showed Mr. Fenning acted as attorney for the woman. That phase of the matter which re- quired publication of the fact the will of Fellows was to be probated was at- tacked by Mr. Blanton, who charged Mr. Fenning had the fact published in The Evening Star and the Wash- ington Law Reporter, whereas the parties concerned lived in New York. He declared such publication should have been made in New York news- papers as well. Bennett Case Cited. Following the discussion with Mr. orman on the scope of the resolu r. Blanton dug into his papers “In the case of Henry B. s a new case?’ asked Mr. ““Yes,” Mr. Hogan replied, answer- ing for Mr. Blanton. The Texas Rep- resentative then declared Mr. Fenning filed a petition for Bennett's nephew to have him declared of unsound mind. The man had an estate of $200,000, he added, and when Wilton J. Lambert, prominent Washington attorney, became interested in it, the petition was withdrawn. ‘What's wrong in the case?” asked 'm going to let Mr. Lambert and Mrs. Rogers, housekeeper for Bennett, tell you that,” replied Mr. Blanton. The man was of sound mind and they were going to put him in a luna- tic asylum ‘There's nothing about a lunatic asvlum in that petition,” interrupted Mr. Hogan. Mr. Blanton picked up the summons ssued to Bennett, which commanded im to appear in court ‘“‘to show cause why you should not be adjudged of unsound mind.” Berg Case Brought Up. The case of Philip Berg then was discussed by Mr. Blanton. He took up each paper in the case from its incep- tion, all of which has thoroughly been discussed by him before the Gibson committee. The facts as Mr. Blanton interprets them are that Mr. Fenning as committee for the man, who was in St. Elizabeth’s, petitioned the court to allow him to make a will. This was subsequently done, and the man’s mother was disinherited. Mr. Fen- ning in the petition set forth he be- lieved the woman to be of immoral character. “What is your claim,” asked Mr. Hersey, “was he sane or insane?” “He was insane, but his mother was a good woman as I will have wit- nesses here tell you.” “Do you want this committee to sit in judgment of the character of the mother?” asked the Maine Rep- resentative. Asks for Aid. “No,” replied Mr. Blanton, “but to sit on the kind of a fiduciary who ap- peared 4n court and asked that a lunatic be allowed to make a will.” The committee questioned Mr. Blanton closely on the question of whether Berg had been adjudged sane before the will was made, but was told em- phaticically that the man died three months later in the hospital without such adjudication. The will, which bequeathed the estate to Berg’s brothers and sisters, now is being con- tested in a Connecticut court. Mr. Blanton suggested to the com- mittee that it employ an attorney to assist in the conduct of the case, ex- plaining he didn’t “feel equal to th task of performing all the work.” No action was taken on his suggestion at that time. Cites Attack on Congress. Verbal attacks upon Congress by W. ‘W. Millan and Frank J. Hogan, attor- neys for Commissioner Fenning, were called to the attention of the House on the floor later by Mr. Blanton. 3 Mr. Blanton told the House that the auditors of the Supreme Court had held that one of the present Commis- sioners had deceived the auditor in court in not divulging that he had been deducting from estates intrusted to him as guardian a 25 per cent com- mission on purchase of sureties, and said that Mr. Fenning had continually taken fees from his wards' estates for a number of years without the auditor being informed. He said that Auditor Davis had cited the Supreme Court decision in the Magruder vs. Drury case. Mr. Blanton then called attention of the House that Mr. Millan, head of the Board of Children’s Guardians and attorney for Mr. Fenning, in an appeal from the auditor's report had made an attack upon Congress., He quoted from Washington newspapers a portion of Mi illan's statement Many Useful Articles Are Offered for Sale Daily in the Sale Miscellaneous further concessions to modernism are impossible, “‘that he will be driven into a corner and forced to choose between fighting for the faith or absolutely surrendering Christianity itself.” Dr. W. B. Riley preached at_the morning service vesterday at the Met- ropolitan Baptist Church, and Dr. vank Norris, editor of the Search- light, at night. "Play With Polar Bear Costs Arm. A visitor to the zoo in Vancouver, B. C., undertook to play with a friendly polar bear and climbed over the railing which separated it from the public. The wouid-be playmate lost an arm as a result, and was res- ponsible for immediate agitation to erect more barriers to keep the public, from the animals.

Professional burglars are believed to be responsible for robberies in two es- tablishments between Saturday night and this morning. The leather goods store of Lutz & Co., 1325 G siree:, was robbed of gold pens and pencils, gold-mounted bill- folds and card cases, expensive trayel- ing clocks and bags, dozens of pairs of women's gloves and other property, all valued at $2,000. About $20 was also taken from the unlocked safe. Detectives Springmann and Darnall | said that only professionals could open the front door, as was done, without doing great damage. “rom cases and shelves the bur- glars selected only the best of the stock, overlooking cheaper goods. A safe of Dick Murphy, Inc., auto- mobile dealer, 1835 Fourteenth street, was broken open and $100 stolen. En- trance was gained through the rear of the building. The firm's tools were used to open the safe. il PROSECUTOR REPLIES T0 PRISONER'S SUIT Rover Says He Did Not Promise W. G. Davis Shorter Sentence Than He Received. Assistant United States Attorney Leo A Rover, on behalf of Maj. W. L. Peak, superintendent of the jail. today filed an answer to the habeas corpus proceeding brought by Wililam G. Davis, alias Billy Madden, who claims to have been a catcher, on the Washington ball teain 40 years ago. vis was sentenced to serve tw ears in the penitentiary as an addict in the use of narcoties after he had pleaded guilty and had aided the Go ernment in a number of cases. As he was about to be sent to Leaven- worth penitentiary, Attorney L. G. H. Alward served a writ of habeas corpus on_the jail authorities. Davis in his petition claimed that he had pleaded guilty at o.e term of the court and was not sentenced until several months later and after that term of court had expired. He also asserted that Rover had primised him a short term of 60 or 90 days or maybe a nolle pros. Rover points out that the court has jurisdiction until & final judgment is eatered in a criminal case, which judgment was the sentence of the court, and it made no difference when the plea of guilty had been rendered. As to the alleged promise of immunity, Rover says he never even suggested that, but did say that he would advise the court that Davis had been of assistance in the prosecution of other cases, which he did before sentencee was imposed. He asked the dismisgal of the writ and that Davis be remanded to the custody of the jail officlals for transfer to the peniten- tiary. o Railroads Win Decision. Railroads are not liable under the Federal employers’ lability act when negligence 1s charged for the death of employes murdered during a railroad strike while en route home under guard from their place of employment. when they voluntarily undertake to furnish a guard, the Supreme Court held today in a case from Alabama, | declaring that the railroad was not re- quired to furnish an adequate guard. in which he referred to the 'bellow-! ing of Congress” and sald hLe had “no fear of being butchered to make a Texas holiday.” Quotes Hogan Speech. Mr. Blanton next quoted from a ‘Washington newspaper account of a speech made by Mr. Hogan, one of Mr. Fenning’'s battery of attorney before the House judiciary commit- tee, which speech by Mr. Hogan was made a year ago at a banquet of the ‘Washington Real Estate Board. In this Mr. Hogan was quoted as say- ing that “Congress menaces the country—fools are sent here to make W Reading extracts from Mr. Hogan's speech, Mr. Blanton quoted the state- ment “Here in the District we think Congressmen the lowest form of ani- mal alive,” and “He is Mr. Fenning's attorney,” Mr. Blanton said. “That's an indictment of all 435 members of the House and 96 mem- bers of the Senate,” said Mr. Blanton. Then Mr. Blanton pointed out that Mr. Millan in another case before the Supreme Court of the United States had taken the exactly opposite position in the case of E. Hilton Jackson, re- ceiver, against John Lewis Smith and Edwin L. Wilson,254 United States Re- ports, page 686. In that case Mr. Mil- lan claimed a_ violation of fiduciary trusts and cited the case of Magruder vs. Drury to substantiate his claim. Moore Defends Millan. Representative Moore, Democrat, of Virginia said that Mr. Millan comes from his district and “is equal to any of us in character and I may say in ability.” Representative King, Republican, of lllinois, put into the record a state- ment regarding Mr. Hogan's office organization and a private spy sys- tem he said he maintains in Govern- ment departments. Representative Seller, Democrat, New York, made a brief statement in defense of Mr. Hogan as his friend, and one of the best known lawyers:in the country. | Representative Montague, Demo- crat, Virginia, a member of the House judiclary committee, before which the Blanton charges against Mr. Fenning are now being heard, ex- pressed his opinion that the purpose of Mr. Blanton in making an attack on these attorneys for Mr. Fenning in the House today, is to prejudice the committee.

RIGHT TO RESTRICT COLORED PROPERTY OWNERS IS UPHELD ___(Continued from First Page) __ association, carrled the appeal direct to the Supreme Court of the land. Holds Rights Not Violated. In refusing to overthrow the in- junction the Supreme Court held that none of the rights of the appellants had been violated. Under the pleadings in the present case,” the Supreme Court said, “the only Constitutional guestion involved was that arising under the assertions in the motions to dismis that the in- denture or covenant which is the basis of the bill is ‘void’ in that it is contrary to and forbidden by the fifth, thirteenth and fourteenth amend- ments. “This contention is entirely lacking in substance or calor of merit. Amendment Does Not Apply “The fifth amendment is a Jimita- tion only upon the powers of the gen- eral Government and is not directed against the action of individuals. “The thirteenth amendment, de- nouncing slavery and involuntary servitude—that 1s, a condition of en- forced compulsory service of one to the other—does not in other matters protect the individual rights of per- sons of the negro race. And the prohibitions of the fourth amendment have reference to State action exclusively and not to any ac- tion of private individuals. It is a State action of a particular charac- ter that is prohibited. Individual In- vasion of individual rights is not the subject matter of the amendment. Contracts not Barred. “It it obvious that none of these amendments prohibited private Indi- viduals from entering into contracts respecting the control and disposition of their own property, and there is no color whatever for the contention that they rendered the indenture void.” The claim that the agreement was void because it was against public policy, the court continued “does not involve a constitutional question within the meaning of the code pro- visions. : ‘While it was further urged in this court that the decrees of the courts below in themselves deprive the de- fendants of their liberty and property without due process of law, in vio- lation of the fifth and fourteenth amendments,” the decision concluded, “this convention likewise cannot serve as a jurisdictional basis for the ap- peal. The appeal must be and is dis- missed for want of jurisdiction.” The residence in question is but a few blocks from that portion of S street where Secretary of Commerce Hoover lives and to which Woodrow ‘Wilson retired when he left the White House, The action of the Supreme Court marks the culmination of a fight that had its inception on June 1, 1921, when Mrs. Corrigan and the other 29 property owners in the neighbor- hood signed the agreement providing “that no part of the land * * * shall ever be used or occupled by or sold, conveyed, leased, rented or given to negroes or persons of the negro race or blood. The covenant was to run for 21 years, and down through the District courts injunctions were granted, re- straining Mrs. Corrigan from trans- ferring the property to the colored family. Finally reaching the Court of Appeals, the decision of the Dis- trict Supreme Court was upheld and Mrs. Corrigan was bound to the signed eement. Supported by negro organizations, however, the suit was appealed to the United States Supreme Court and was argued in January. Had Mrs. Corrigan and Helen Cur- tis won their final appeal and the in- Junction of the lower court been dis- missed, attorney held that the result would be the definite abrogation of agreements generally whereby prop- erty owners have combined not only to restrict their neighborhoods as to race, but also as to the quality of FUMES NEARLY KILL POLICEMAN’S FAMILY Carbon monoxide fumes, believed to have escaped from pipes carrying fl- luminating gas to a hot-water heater, made the entire family of Policeman Lyman L. Leich, 2312 Minnesota ave- nue southeast, severely ill this morn- ing. Only the timely arrival of the policeman from his regular tour of duty saved the family from asphyxia- tion, it is thought. Those affected were Mrs. Leich and her two children, Lyman L., jr., and Mary D, 2 and 4 years old, respec- tively. The first intimation any one had of the plight of the victims wus when Mr. Leich entered his home 2t & o'clock this morning after reporting off duty at the sixth precinct station. The officer found his little son lying on the floor in spasms. Rushing to a medicine chest, Mr. Leich next came across his wife lying unconscious on the floor, with the little girl screaming from pain. The sight of his whole family so affected, together with the gas fumes, nearly prostrated the officer, but he succeed- ed in reaching the telephone and called for help from police head- quarters. In the meantime, neighbors were attracted and Dr. Frank E. Brayden was called in. Within a short time a headquarters car arrived with an- other physician and the two succeeded in restering Mrs. Leich to conscious- ness and relieving the suffering of the childrenr. All three were put to bed, and the physicians reported them out of dangar by noon.

For instance, it was said, in those sections of Crevy Chase where only homes meeting a prescribed and ex- ceptionally high standard may now be built any person could come along and build a $6,000 bungalow, or even less expensive dwelling.

Schick represented Mrs. Corrigan and Helen Curtis. be entertained by the Kiwanlans at their regular meeting on the roof of the Hotel Washington. It is possible that Miss Posey will be persuaded to give her ten-minute oration on ‘‘America’s Contribution to Constitutional Government,” inas- much as the Kiwanis will be unable to attend the June 4 finals. On this evening they are slated to meet a del- egation of out-of-town Kiwanlans, who are to be here for several hours that night. At any rate, President Lans- burgh says the Kiwanians want an opportunity to “wish her luck” in the national finals. Girls Have Majority. The victory of Miss Guita Bearman of North High School, Minneapolis, at Chicago last night is a distinct feather in the caps of the feminine contin- gent, inasmuch as this assures the girls a majority in the national finals here on June 4. Miss Bearman the fourth girl to be chosen as a dis- trict finalist out of six selected. There is still an opportunity for the girls to win a fifth: place among the seven, as two out of the seven contestants in the Philadelphia finals Friday night | are girls. Rear Admiral Luther E. Gregory, chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, and Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries, chief, Chemical Warfare Service, were announced today as the official time- keepers for the national finals. Admiral Gregory and Maj. Gen. Fries will sit directly in front of the stage and the moment any one of the seven speakers exceeds 10 minutes they will be signaled to stop. The contest man agement insists that all of the speakers keep within their time and provides that any speaker who fails to heed the warning of the time- keepers must be disqualified. The timekeepers will be provided with time and stop watches for their im portant duty. Randolph Leigh, in charge of the local Oratorical Contest Bureau, to- day received a telegram announcing that Joseph Mullarky of Augusta, Ga., who won at Kansas City, will be the first of the six out-of-town contestants to arrive in Washington. Mullarky believes it will be wise for him to follow the same policy he pursued at Kansas City, where he arrived early for the contest and rested up for the big occasion, Comes From Noted School. Mullarkay will represent the Acad- emy of Richmond County of Augusta, Ga., in the contest, which is one of the oldest boys’ academies in the country. This academy was visited by George Washington and attended by the late Woodrow Wilson iwhile the latter’s father was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Afigusta. Miss Bearman, the latest district finalist to be selected, is 17 years old and is president of the North High Girls' League at Minneapolis. She has been on the debating team for three years and this year is captain. This is the second honor accorded her inasmuch as she already has won a te extemporaneous contest this ar. She will be accompanied to Washington by C. L. Saxby, one of the contest managers in her territory. i e s New Guard Unit Denied.

Beauty Features Watch the Kind of Soap You use on your face Use only a true complexion soap— use this way ODERN beauty methods start now with keeping the pores clean and the skin free of blemish- inviting matter. That means daily cleansing with soap and water. Youth is thus preserved and natural loveliness invited. But take care the kind of soap you use. Don't think any so-cailed “good” soap will do. Some soaps, excellent for many purposes, may prove un- fitted for your skin. A good com- plexion is too priceless for experi- ment. That is why most authorities urge Palmolive; a soap made of rare cos- metic oils, a soap made by experts in beauty solely for ONE purpose, to safeguard your complexion. Be- fore its day, women were told “use 1o soap on your faces.” Soaps then were judged too harsh. Just follow this simple rule in skin care for one week. Note the improvement that comes. It is Na- ture’s formula to “Keep That School- girl Complexion.” Wash your face gently with Palmolive Soap, massaging it softly into the skin. Rinse thoroughly, first with warm_water, then with cold. If your skin is inclined to be Severe tests OINTMENT can be dry, apply a touch of good cold cream—that is all. Do this regularly, and yarticularly in the evening. Use powder and rouge if you wish.
