SON’S ASHES SPILLED IN RAID, MOTHER SAYS Woman Files $30,000 Suit for Damages Against Georgia Dry Official. By the Associated Press. HOUSTON, Tex., November 13.— Charging that prohibition agents broke into an urn containing the ash- es of her 8-vear-old son and scattered them on the floor while raiding her hom: November 7, Mrs. Evelyn Ed- wards filed suit for $30,000 damages here today against George A. Ham- mons, deputy administrator of the Federal prohibition forces for the Southern district of Texas. The petition set out that the urn Wi lab2led with the name of the child, the date of his death, and was covered with a photograph of the boy and his dog. Notwithstanding the caution of a nurse, who was in the house during the mother’s absence, the agents pried into the urn with a knife, the petition alleges, scattered the ashes about the room and jeered at a suggestion of a regard of the mother for the boy's remains. Mrs. Edwards alleges that a quart of whisky, which the agents assert was found in her home, was ‘“plant- ed. The raid was conducted on a search warrant. | TAX BOARD TO HEAR FORD $34,000,000 LEVY CASE i Session at Detroit in January to Concern Senator Couzens and Other Ford Holders. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, November 13.—A legal action involving $34,077,324.72 in back income taxes will begin in Detroit January 11 when the United States Roard of Tax Appeals moves here to hear testimony and arguments in the Government’s suit to collect from the nine original stockholders of the Ford Motor Co. The stockholders all sold their in- terests in the company in 1919 for $12,500 a share in most instances and for $13.000 a share in others. At that time the Government was paid approximately $20,000,000 in taxes. The t: paid then was on an ap- praised value of $9,489.34 per share, fixed by Commissioner Roper of the Treasury Department in 1913. The Government comtended this appraisal was too low. United States Senator James Couz- ens, formerly general manager of the Fo Motor Co., would be the hardest hit if the Government should win the impending hearing. The claim against him is for $9,455,274.08. The estates of John F. and Horace Dodge also are involved. e One wish for the day is to live long enough to see a mean detour closed for repair.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1926, MOSCOW, November 13.—Sale of hundreds of paintings by old masters at prices ranging from 50 kopecks to 100 roubles, chiefly to officlals of the German Junkers Co. who exported them by means of airplanes, has brought 10 high Soviet officials of the art museum department to trial. The art world never before enjoyed such burgain sales of masterpleces, according to the charges of the prose cution. Included among the paintings | specified in the indictments as sold for a mere song are works of Raphael, Ryepin, SokoloV, Korovin, Rizznoni, Aivazovsky, Gronlund and others, which were taken from the famous nationalized ~galleries of Princes Odoevsky and Volkonsky, Countess Uvarova, Count Olsufiev, the million- aire Riabushinsky and the collector Shukin. The method of operation seems to have been that Nikolai MashkovtzeV, chief of the museum department of the commissariat of education, would mark well known works of art as by “unknown” painters. The paintings then were sold and export permits issued through the connivance of other officials as *‘valueless paintings. Under this method, Meisodov “Sketch of a Girl” brought 24 roubles, #ronlund’s _ “Flowers” brought roubles. Five of the well known works of Ryepin, Sokolov and Rizz- noni are alleged to have been given to former Count Stroev, new a Mos- cow auctioneer, in exchange for three worthless portraits. Testimony at the trial indicates that thousands of paintings from the na- tionalized galleries have been sold in the last three yvears for the price of a meal and a little vodka. COUNTY TO MAKE PLEA FOR POLICE Prince Georges Move Will Be Taken to Legislature at Coming Session. Special Dispatch to The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., Novem- ber 13.-The State Legislature, conven- ing in January, will be asked to enact legislation providing for the establish- ment of a county police court or courts and a county police force. Leg- islation for the creation of a county juvenile court aiso will be sought. This information comes from leaders who have been impressed by activities favoring the plan. Following the action of the county (Pomona. Grange, at its quarterly meeting at Beltsville Thursday, in- dorsing the idea of a police force and referring the matter of a court or courts to a committee for further study, announcement has been made at its annual meeting here November 23, will give consideration to the proj- ects. The council, embracing many ctvie, community and kindred organizations, already has indorsed the movement, having approved, at a meeting several months ago, a report submitted to it by Judge George G. W. Musgrave, which recommended legislation along the same general lines. Those in favor of the proposed leg- islation believe establishment of a county police force and a court or courts are needed in the interest of law and order. They point to the fact that Montgomery County has both a police force and a police court, and that the results there are recognized as having well justified their estab- lishment. One of the chief arguments for estblishment of a court or courts is that it would permit of the disposal of many minor ceses that now come to the Circuit Court here, causing un- necessary expense to the county. To just what extent creation of a wolice force and court or courts would decrease the number of justices of the peace and constables is not known, but it is probable a number would lose their positions. How many would depend on the number of county policemen appointed, and whether one or a number of courts are established. RANGERS ARE FREE OF FEAR OF BEARS Yellowstone National Park Inhab- itants Are Used to Pil- fering Bruins. Special Dispatch to The Star. YELLOWSTONE PARK, November 13.—Bears have mno terrors for the rangers of Yellowstone National Park; theirs is the famillarity that breeds contempt. Miss Marguerite Lindsley, a member-of the park staff, who was born in the park and has lived there all her life, except when she was away at college. tells the following story of a recent experlence: “At Old Faithful I became very well acquainted with a huge black bear. ‘The rangers’ Summer mess hall had been closed for some time, the large front room partly filled with Winter wood and the windows boarded up. The day before my arrival food had been laid out in this room to be sent to some road crew the following day. But bruin smelled bacon and made quick work of the boards and glass, and ‘a mess of the food. “Then I arrived and moved into the cook's room for a few days. That night the bear remembered. At 11:30 he came, and every hour all night, as sure as Old Faithful roared out its eruption, he returned. It was a half- clear, moonlight night with two inches of snow on the ground and the mercury at zero—much too cold to crawl out to take after bruin with a broonr every hour. He was much more patient than I, merely giving a little grunt when I launched a brick or a piece of kindling wood after him, and sauntering off into the forest, to return, giving the garbage can a cuff to announce himself, crunching just below my window, standing up against that boarded window and starting to pry it open. The following day I tied the dinner gong and some tin cans to his favorite window and he ceased his attempts to open it.” MRS. CARROLL URGES STUDY OF GREEK ART Intellectual and Spiritual Asset, She Tells Members of Classical Club. Standards of _architectural taste established by the designers of an- cient Greece still remain classic ideals of beauty for monumental buildings and works of art, declared Mrs. Mitchell CarroN, president of the Art and Archaeology League, who recent- ly spent a vear of study in Greece, speaking last night at a meeting of the Washington Classical Club at Gunston Hall. Acquaintance with Greek art is an intellectual and . spiritual asset - to every man or woman, she said, and referred to the belief in classical training entertained by Lord Bryce, former British Ambassador to the United States, who addressed the club shortly after it was founded by the late Dr. Mitchell Carroll.

The express condition, which, it is reported, is contained in the will of Mr. Houdini, that the collection shall be named “the Donated Li- brary of Harry Houdinl,” or a stm- ilar designation, will be no bar to its acceplance.

S. Shanghai Official Received $25,000. By the Associated P SAN FRANCISCO, November 13.— Charges that Leonard Goodwin Husar, United States district attorney at Shanghal, accepted a $25,000 bribe in exchange for evidence turned over to him in a criminal case, were con- tained in a divorce complaint filed here today by Mrs. Mary J. Husar. Mrs. Husar’s counsel said that the facts of the alleged bribery have been turned over to the United States De- partment of Justice for investigation.

The evidence was turned over to Husar by the American consul at Shanghai, the complaint says, afller the consulate had gone to consider- able effort to collect it with the ald of the secret service and other Gov- | ernment agencies. Later, the complaint alleges, Husar made arrangements to have the evi- dence destroyed for the considera- tion named, and handed it over to “John Doe” through a *go-between.” CLAIMS YOUTH PLANNED HOLD-UP IN MARIE’S ROOM St. Louis Detective Declares 17- Year-0ld Boy Is “Pub- licity Hound.” By the Associated Press.

Walsh of Mon- tana. He denounced the Calles gov- ernment in an address tonight at the annual banquet of the National Cath- olic Alumni Federation. He sald the Calles policy is with- out parallel, even in Soviet Russia, and declared that a publication put out from the Mexican consular office in New York alone warranted action by the United States. “I should deplore any representa- tion by this country in Mexico until it changes its policy tow: Cath- f these offenses should pass unnoticed, then the spirit that has characterized American diplomacy has departed from us forever.” More than 1,000 Catholic laymen {and clergy, graduates from virtually every college and university in the country, attended the banquet.

Taylor. 46" Marie at thd STORY OF FRANC'S | - RIGE S DISCLOSED :Conversation With Morgan Held Responsible for Bull Movemesst. i A BY GERVILLE REACHE. By Radio to The Siar. PARIS, November 13.—The secret of the recent rise of the franc, which caught most of the Paris financiers unawares, has been learned by the writer. This_puzzling “bull” move- ment, led by New York, resulted from conversations between Premier Poin- care and J. P. Morgan and between Premier Poincare and M. Franqui, the Belgian finance minister. Just before sailing for America Mr. Morgan saw the French premier, who declared his intention of obtaining ratification of the Mellon-Berenger agreement with reservations, and then attempting to stabilize the franc at about 2.80 cents, which was somewhat higher than the then pre- vailing rate. The great American ‘banker left the audience full of con- fidenc, Similarly, M. Polncare refused M. Franqui's proposal to stabilize French and Belgian francs simultaneously, -at the same figure, asserting he could revalorize the French franc first. Optimism Imparted. Mr. Morgan departed via London, and imparted his optimistic views to| certain city men. Meanwhile, Am- sterdam learned M. Poincare's reason for refusing to co-operate with M. Franqui. This was sufficient to un- leash the tormidable “bull” specula- tion which only now is being liquidated by profit takings, as vet on a small scale. Does France's real situation justify such optimism? Yes—and no. President Coolidge's speech was coldly received in official circles. It is particularly emphasized that while the United States seeks to enchain its debtors for 62 years, the President admits that America will have recov- ered from the war's effects In 30 years, even with reduced taxes. Therefore, America’s attitude toward France will scarcely ald the French government in the coming months. The cabinet probably will not have serious difficulties before the end of the year. The budget will be voted without serious opposition, but with- out enthusiasm. Only the commu- nists will oppose it violently, but the other parties will withhold their whole-hearted approval, leaving the cabinet entire responsibility. Despite rising prices, the final quarter will show the heaviest tax returns in history, some $400,000- 000. Thus the treasury is unembar- rassed and the recent Mussoljni in- terview promises better relations with Italy, while the Franco-German parleys continue pacefully. Moderates May Lose. But the government's tight-rope exercises will begin soon after New Year. It is quite probable that the Moderates will lose about 20 seats to the Socialists in the January sens- torfal elections, thus giving the left elements a_new lease of life in the last year of the legislature. Then the tax returns will diminis! considerably while the treasury wil have unusually heavy payments i make abroad and at home. Forei payments alone during the first qua ter of 1927 amount to $60,000,000. for internal payments, the goveri ment already is considering issuin: 7 per cent treasury notes to me« them. Finally comes the debate o1 interallied debts. The Republicar: Democratic party, M. Poincare chiet supporter, after hearing a re port advising categorically against ratification, even with the transfer and safety clauses, adopted the fol- lowing resolution: “The debts must be acquitted on an equitable basis, that is in proportion to our reparations receipts and in a reasonable manner compatible with the return to a normal financial life. The same day, Le Temps, semi- official organ of the government and of the Bank of France, declared, con- cerning the treasury’s stocks of dol- lars: “In such circumstances we cannot consider seeking further credits abroad, especially since offers are made on conditions to which France could never subscribe.” Thus many a slip is possible before the Mellon cup touches French lips, and ratification is farther away than ever. M. Poincare told Mr. Morgan that he intended it, but between now and January he doubtless will find reasons for postponing a debate on which so many of his predecessors have foundered.
