With 208 prisoners. a record num- ber, jammed in the two Police Court celis this morning waiting for their cases to be called, the demand for enlarged facilities, shown by The Kvening Star investigation several months ago, wus amply evidenced. There wasn't room for a third of humid air, stenches of corn laden with the gin, aggravated lHguor and synthetic conditions. i The cramped Police Court facilities for incarceration, which will -~ be remedied when the next Congress ap- propriates money for' a new bolice Court building broke down bndl}:'. in the wake of a “soused week end. Two thirds Are Drunks. More than two-thirds of the prison- ers, 185 to be exact, were up for being drunk. The record-brenking crowd was « surprise to court officialy. For several weeks past it has gone hard with drunks, who have appeared be- fore Judge Robert E. Mattingly. He has glven sentences of from 30 days to three months in aggravated cases. Last week alone 250 prisoners were taken to the jail and the Occoquan re comfortably for only 400 prisoners. At & am. there were 440 incarcerated therein and Malj. William L. Peake, superintendent, sald conditions would be very bad after the court got through its work today. The workhouse, which can- accommodate from 400 to 600, is badly overcrowded. The last Congress ap- propriated funds to enlarge the Jalil after The Star investigation. 207 Collateral Cases. Collateral lists today contatned 207 names. Of these 157 were for District cases, the remaining 50 being distrib- uted through the United $tates branch and the Traffic Court, with the latter bearing the most name A record was established at the sixth precinct, when 108 were locked up during the two-day period.

Schuldt, who is pre- siding over the District branch this week, stated today that he would con- tinue the heavy sentences for those whose appearances in Police Court are frequent, MEANS CALLS ON ALL SPANISH WAR VETS Plea for Enlistments Sent to Every State and Camp Officer. The entire membership of the United Spanish War Veterans today was re- quested by Senator Rice W. Means of Colorado, commander-in-chief, to “en- list with your comrades in an organ- ization which has been dedicated to the memory of those who have gone nto the great beyond and to the task of caring for our disabled comrades, their widows and dependents, and to fight incessantly for our country and for the preservation and maintenance of American ideals.” The request was embodled in greet- ings from Senator Means, as the lead- er of the organization, sent out by national headquarters here to all State and camp officers in the United States, Alaska, Hawali, Cuba, Porto Rico, Canal Zone, Philippine Islands and China. The greetings, in part, said: “It is well to remember that the fighting men of '98 were the leaders of the World War. The commander-in- chief of the A. E. F. the chief of staft in this country, every Army corps and division commander, well as almost every brigade commander, as a Spanish-American War Veteran. We did not shirk our responsibility of leadership in war time; we must not shirk our responsibility of leadership in peace time. We want closer affilia- tion between veteran organizations and between the service men of all wars. After all, we served the same country under the same flag in an effort to preserve and maintain Ameri- can ideals. “The United Spanish War Veterans wish well to service men of all wars and all veteran organizations. We concede it to be the privilege of every man to join the organization in which he believes he can serve most happily, Dbut it is the duty of every service man to join some yeteran organization. The nd “Army of the Republic must of necessity become less active in leadership among veteran organ tions, I believe it to be the duty of the ("nited Spanish War Veterans to encourage the foining together of all veteran izations in the great fight for Americanism. “A man who has tendered his life crifice upon the altar of patriot- ism knows full well and truly the menning of love of country. We can best serve our country and mankind by carrying on the fizht for American tdeals, the heritagze of our forefathers." 65 BELIEVED ENTOMBED. By the Associated Press ROCKWOOD, Tenn., October 4 A mine explosion 3 miles under- ground at the Rogers entry of the Roane Tron Co.'s conl mine was re- ported to have occurred this morning.

The day Lieut.

Lieut. Doolittle soon got the upper hand, it is related, and when the ‘man sought to make a landing on another airdrome the American prevented this. Finally the former member of the famous Baron von Richthofen squadron _was forced to land before the crowd and then, with the air to himself. Lieut. Doolittle put on his exhibition. which, it is declared, com- pletely overshadowed his rival. He then landed, the four men lifted him from the plane and carried him away.

DEATH RATE CUT INTUBERCULOSIS Only 90 Per 100,000 Re- corded Now Compared With 200.6 in 1904. Moving toward the goal of virtual eradication of the “white pligue,” a reduction in the death rate from tu- berculosis in the United States from 200.6 per 100,000 inhabitants in 1904 to 90 per 100,000 in 1925 has been effected. Research into treatment of tuberculosts patients and advanced methods of treatment have brought about this sharp drop in the death rate, according to statements made at the opening meeting of the National Tuberculosis Agssoclation at the May- flower Hotel today Dr. Linsly R. Williams, managing divector of the association, said the drop in the death rate brought about by the work of the scores of tubercu- Jdosis associations co-operating with the national organization results in a saving at the present time of more than 120,000 lives per year. | Even though rapid strides have been made in eradication of tubercu- losts over the past two decades, he fore the plague can be finally con- trolled much further research, medi- cal and social, must be carried out, Dr. Theobald Smith, president of the assoclation, declared in his annual ad- dress. Until then, he added, every ef- fort must be made to raise the stand- ard of healthy living and to improve the condition of those who have de- veloped tuberculosis. Problem 1s Wide. “an important and significant re- cent venture of the national associa- tion and of local and State associa- tions,” Dr. Smith said, “is to include in their programs not only the specific fight against tuberculosis, but the bronder task of elevating the general health. The underlying assumption is that whatever ralses and conserves the general health also contributes to- ward resistance to tuberculosis. Here again the general problem gradually splits into more specific ones, such as pre-natal care, health of the child, pre; vention of heart injury, guarding of the adolescent period, and minor en- vironmental factors of pure air, diet, physical culture and the like. “Tuberculosis is merely a special manifestation of the commonplace phenomenon of parasitism. We wish to rise above.it as we do above all parasitism, which we have largely inherited from our geological an- cestors. The cost is high. It repre- sents @ very material fragment of what we call hyglene and public health administration. Infection is an unwelcome guest and leaves be- hind a train of undesirable conditions. Health is purchaseable. But we can- not have the purchase money for this as well as for many other activities. “We cannot raise ourselves to a level of health and stay there without continual effort,” he sald. *“We are, in fact, mortgaged to health.” Dr. Smith is director of the bureau of animal research of the Rockefeller Institute at Princeton, N. J., and is the discoverer of the hovine tubercle bacillus and of the cause of the Texas tick fever. Surgical Practice Aids. Recent advances in surgical prac- tice have brought relief to thousands of tuberculosis sufferers who could not have been helped before, Dr. Edouard Rist of Laennec Hospital and Dispensary at Paris, France, told the convention. Dr. t, who is an inter- natlonally known tuberculosis au- thority, said that some of the newer adaptations of artificlal pneumo- thorax, a process by which a diseased Jung may be collapsed to superinduce artificially a restful condition of the organ, is among the most significant advances made in the treatment of lung tuberculosis in the last genera- tion. Even in those cases where both lungs were affected, Dr. Rist said, the collapse of both lungs by surgical methods, with only 20 per cent of the normal vital capacity left in them, has proven beneficial. Thora- coplasty, a modern surgical adapta- tion of the older method of punctur- ing the chest wall to collapse the lung. has resulted in the improvement of &n additional number of cases where adhesions formerly prevented obtaining relief. : “The air and rest cure,” he said, “has stood the test of time. It still stands supreme in tuberculosis treat- ment. Advances in X-ray examina- ton, diagnosis of pleural bacilli and changes in diagnostic methods all have contributed to reduction in the death rate.” Mme. Olga Nethersole, famous ac- tress, who has taken a leading lay part in tuberculosis prevention and ture in England, sat through the opeming session, and will attend all the sessions to follow. Directors of the association were to be nominated at the afterncon meeting today. Medal to Be Presented. The Trudeau rnedal for the individ- ual who has made, in the past year, the most meritorious contribution to the cause, prevention or treatment of tuberculosis, will be presented at a meeting tonicht by Dr. Edward R. Baldwin, chairman of the special com- mittee on award. Immediately follow- ing the presentation, addresses will be _' made by Dr, William Cherles White, up over the week end packed The number established a record. Police Court cells this morning waiting Jardine’s Agricultural Loan Plan Fails To Attract Farmers to Extent Expected By the Assoctated Press. DES MOINES, Towa, October 4.— An experiment in farm finance, launched at the suggestion of Secre- tary of Agriculture Jardine ®appears to have disclosed that American farm- ers are little interested in facilities for agricultural loans. A year ago two finance corpora- tions ‘were organized for the purpose of issuing short-term loans to-ald farmers of their State in holding their crops for better prices. The corpora- tions were prepared to loan several million dollars, but the amount actual- ly placed was less than one million, and much of that money went to big live stock feeders and for purposes other than the storing of corn for a more favorable market. The corporations now are engaged in clearing up their accounts and a | survey shows that during the perfod | peak, in July and | corn was at its August, comparatively little corn was sold for the liquidation of loans. Since that time adverse weather has severely interfered with. corn marketing. The farmers who are able .to sell, however, are accepting 8 or 10 centy less than the top price. The loan agencies were the National Agricultural Credit corporations of Des Moines and Fort Dodge. The result of their operations was ex- pected to determine in large measure whether such agencies should be formed on a permanent basis. Harry Laird, manager of the Des Moines corporation, said he believed the corporations’ record pointed to a disparity between the purchasing power of the farmer and persons in other industries as the chief agwicul- tural problem, and that adequate finance machinery already existed for the farmer, with perhaps a few changes in the law to make the ware- house act more workable The Fort Dodge corporation, situ- ed in the heart of the corn-growing section of lowa, placed about $400,000 corn _growers and live ck while the Des Moines con loaned more than $300,000, ¢ to live stock breeders. CHILEANS PROTEST COLLIER'S RETURN 3,000 Attend Mass Meeting Hostile to U. S. Envoy Over Tacna Dispute. By the Associated Press. TACNA, Chile, October 4.—Protests against the expected return of Willlam M. Colller as American Ambassador to Chile were voiced at a mass meet- ing here Saturday night. The speak- ers represented various Chilean so- cioties. A resolution addressed to the President of the republic was adopted, charging that Mr. Collier had further- ed Peruvian propaganda in the Pe- ruvian-Chilean dispute over Tacna- Arica. By, his attitude, the resolution said, the Ambassador prejudiced “our legiti- mate rights, recognized by interna- tional treaties now in effect, and im- peded the realization of our patriotic aspirations, prejudicing our interest and thereby resulting in the break up of the plebiscite, which was the only solution for the problem.” The meeting was attended by about 3,000 persons. Ambassador Cullle;. who is now in London, was recently granted an ex- tension of his leave of absence be- cause of the state of his wife's health. He {s expected to return to the United B in December, en route to ntiago. The Ambassador was the object of a recent editorial attack by El Mur- curio of Santiago, which declared he ‘was persona non grata to the Chilean people because of his attitude on the plebiscite question and that his re- turn would be “inopportune,” He was formerly president of George Wash- ington University here. _Ambassador Collier will return to his post at Santiago upon expiration of the indefinite leave of absence granted at his own request, Secretary Kellogg said today. The date for the Ambassador's return will be deter- mined by Mr. Collier himself. The State Department had not been officially informed today of the mass meeting of Tacna citizens. U. S. WOULD DROP CASE AGAINST MRS. BLOUNT By the Associated Press. . The Government today asked the Supreme Court to dismiss the case it had brought against Mrs. Lucia E Blount of this city, widow of Henry F. Blount, prominent Georgetown property owner, involving a tax on property to the value of $115,000 which was held jointly by husband and wife. The Government had insisted upon a transfer tax on its total value at the date of the hushand's death. The Court of Claims held that the Government was not entitled to the tax, as the joint estate had been cre- ated prior fo the passage of the act under which the tax was imposed. The case will now be dropped. chalrman of the medical research com- mittee of the association, and Sir | Henry Gauvain, medical superintend jent of the Lord Mayor Treloar Crip- ples’ Hospital and College of Alton, England.

Florida officials no longer believe thelr State can take care of its hurri- cane sufferers without outside aid, in the opinfon of James L. Fieser, vice chairman of the American Red Cross, who returned to headquarters here vesterday after spending two weeks in_the storm-swept area. He attributed to local pride the early dissemination of statements that southern Florida was not so bad- 1y oft as people had been led to belleve, and thought a different view was now being taken by those in charge of the State's effairs. Declaring the differences stirred up by conflicting statements as to Flor- ida’s needs had confused the people over the country as to Red Cross aid required, for the first_time in the or- ganiztion's history, Mr. Fleser said the “eyes of the Red Cross’ were now on the 18,000 familles left homeless by the storm. Emergency require- ments have been met, he asserted, and the soclety is now turning to the work of rehabilitation. More Money Needed. The vice chajrman declared he did not “believe that Gov. Martin believes there is no need, but if he wants to say that, that's up to him.” The Red Cross, he declared, Is now ready to make funds avaflable for the stricken area “as far as they can.” If more money was avallable, however, he said, “we could do a better job." He thought it would be useless to try to renew interest in the drive for funds. The $5,000,000 set as the goal, $3,025,000 of which has been sub- scribed, he added, would have *“gone over if the brakes had not been put on. Despite Mr. Fieser's fear that the differences which have developed have dampened the campaign for raising relief funds, Red Cross headquarters expresses hope that the entire $5,000, 000 needed will be available before the close of another week. Chairman Payne was informed that w group of industrial leaders in Balt{ more had set a quota of $100,000 to be raised in local Industries for the |fund and that contributions of several thousand dollars already made. The Nassau County, New York, Chapter of the Red Cross also report- ed that the county has contributed $4,980.23, largely through the efforts of Mrs. Henry P. Davison, ,widow of the wartime leader of the Red Cross, and from Galveston, Tex., came word that the city, which suffered from hurricane and tidal wave in 1900, had raised $21.700. had been Five Refugee Camps. Henry M. Baker, disaster relief di- rector of the soclety, informed offi- clals here that five large refugee tent amps had been established by the Red Cross workers at Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Hialeah, and were taking care of ap- proximately 1,500 of the 18,000 home- less, while other hundreds were housed in hotels, barracks and vari- ous temporary quarters. Every effort is being made to have the temporary quarters as livable as possible, he d, until the storm victims can be restored to homes. Mr. Fieser said he had observed no friction in relfef work in Florida, but, on the contrary, every one “had their sleeves rolled up and were co-operat- ing in a fine spirit.” After telephone conversation yester- MURDER CHARGED INZ INDICTMENTS Grand Jury Reports 124 Cases of Various Offenses.
