THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, LEADERS IN COMING CONFERENCE AGAINST WAR MILKSOPS ARE HELD BANE OF COLLEGES Modern University Man’s Hardi- ness Threatened, Interfrater- nity Conference Hears. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 27.— “Cookie Dusters,” 1926 models of the milksop, are the bane of college life, delegates to the Interfraternity Con- ference were told today. “The coonskin coat, soft leather chairs, walters and ‘bids’ to house parties given by eminent hostesses in towns near colleges threaten the hardi- ness of the modern university man,” Rev. Boyd Edwards, headmaster of Hill School, said. Mr. Edwards cited reports of foot ball coaches, who were quoted as say- ing that it takes twice as long to “stir the modern man to fighting pitch for a foot ball game as it did his father.” Willlam Mather Lewis, president of George Washington University, in the closing address of the conference, de- clared fraternity life was the strongest feature of modern colleges. Golf and tennis, he said, were preferable games for college men because they could be of value to the graduate after leaving his alma mater. Former Judge Willlam R. Bayes of New York was elected chairman of the conference. Harold Riegelman was elected vice chairman, and Clif- ford M. Swan, Boston engineer, was elected treasurer. Robert N. Neilson, was re-elected secretary. ASK CLOTHES FOR LEGION An appeal for old, cast-off clothes of all kinds for distribution to indigent members of the American Legion in the city is being made by the local welfare committee of that organiza- tion. Charles Kohen, chairman of the committee, sald last night that his committee receives more than 200 re- quests a day for clothing from men who are here, and, through some rul- ing of the law, are not allowed, while in_the city, the clothing allotment. Many of the veterans at the Mount Alto, St. Elizabeth’s, Walter Reed and Naval Hospitals are in great need of articles to complete their outfits, in- cluding overcoats, suits, trousers, shoes, ete. In fact, anything can be used. The welfare committee, he said, insures against the clothes falling into unworthy hands. Those having articles are requested to send them to Mr. Kohen at 606 Thirteenth street.

By the Associated Press. JOLIET, Ill, November Six convicts, found gullty of the murder of Deputy Warden Peter Klein in a jail break last May, will be hanged in the Jollet courthouse square on a scaffold borrowed from Cook County, Albert Markgraf, newly elected sher- riff of Will County, announced today. There have been no hangings in Will Gounty since 1918 and the county has no scaffold of its own. December 10 was the date set by Judge Fred A. Hill to hear arguments of attorneys for the condemned men. If their pleas are refused, he will sentence them to death, as provided in_the jury’s verdict. It they hang, it will be the second time in_the history of the United States that so many men have died for the same crime on the same day. A similar execution took place ‘in Louisiana two years ago. 27 PIANO for CHRISTMAS DAY A WEEK the Home With Music Pay As Low As $10 Down! (SLIGHTLY USED) SHOT NEAR HEART, MAN MAY SURVIVE Armed Robber Enters Lunchroom and Fires at Manager—Bullet Swerves in Course. Physicians at Emergency Hospital last night were holding out strong hopes for the recovery of Albert Gat- tas, night manager of a lunch room at 117 Four-and-a-half street, who was shot through the body near the heart and in the left arm by an armed col- ored robber early yesterday. Examination showed that the bul- let had swerved in its course, thereby missing the heart by a slim margin. Although Gattas was still in a serious condition last night, his reaction to treatment, physiclans said, indicated favorable results. Ira Ralph Gray, 86 years old, of Baltimore, Md., as the prisoner ar- rested by police and charged with be- Ing Gattas' assallant, described him- self, was being held by police under a technical charge of investigation. The main charge is being left open, pending the outcome of Gattas’ in- Juries. fomusgete o SCIENTIST CELEBRATES. The seventieth birthday of Dr. Wil- liam E.

C, WOMEN APPLAUD - SMITH ACQUITTAL Several Collapse in Court as Famous Stella Maris Mur- der Case Ends. By the Assoclated Press. MAIDSTONE, Endland, November 27—The Stella’ Marls murder trial, which stirred unusual interest in Eng- land because of the soclal prominence of those involved, ended today with the acquittal of Alphonse F. A. Smith of the charge of slaying his friend, John Thomas Derham, last August. A storm of applause, cheers and sobs from the women spectators drowned some hooting when the ver- dict was announced and Smith was sentenced to only 12 months im- prisonment on a minor indictment for carrying arms with the intent to endanger life. When the pent-up emotions of this unusually dramatic trial were released, women jumped to their feet and waved handkerchiefs while several collapsed and had to be carried out of the courtroom. Smith Remains Imperturbable. Smith, who was charged with kill- Ing his friend in a fit of jeaousy over the attentions Derham was elleged to have been paying Mrs. Smith, main- tained the imperturbability that he displayed throughout the trial, al- though he glared flercely at Judge Sir Horace Avory when sentence on the pistol carrying charge was pro- nounced. He said nothing as he was taken to his cell. Mrs. Smith appeared at the court with a man early in the day, but did not enter the room. When she was Jtold that her husband had been ac- quitted of the murder -charge, she exclaimed: “‘Oh, that's splendid! I had a won- derful letter from my husband this morning. Of course it will mean that we shall come together again.” ‘Widow Is Glad. Mrs. Derham, who wae in court, said: “I am very glad t:it another life has not been lost in this terrible business.” Judge Avory, in passing sentence on the defendant, who is a grandson of the late Hugh Ryan, Canadian railway builder, remarked that the Jjury had taken the most lenient view possible of the circumstances of the case. The jurors returned the verdict in 2 hours and 10 minutes, accepting Smith’s plea that at the time of Der- ham’s death he did not intend to shoot himself or any one else, but merely was removing the revolver from his pocket to put it in a place of safety, and that the weapon was dis- harged accidentally in a struggle for its possession. Derham'’s death occurred during a dinner party at the Smith villa, Stella Maris. SANTA TO VISIT VETS. Pre-Christmas Entertalnment at Walter Reed Arranged.

DOUGHBOY'S SUBSISTENCE PAY BELOW SAILOR'S OR MARINE'S Gets 31.5 Cents a Day, Marine Gets 49.7, and Sailor Has Highest Amount, 52.3 Cents—Sea Air Increases Hunger. The infantryman, shoulders u:hlngl from heavy pack and appetite whet- ted by a few hours of snappy pick and shovel drill, must subsist on 31.5 cents a day. His brother-in-arms, the marine, can eat gluttonously to the extent of 49.7 cents a day, and the aristocratic sailor has 52.3 cents a day for his ration. No wonder the poor doughboy is mad at being made the Cinderella of the. fighting family, according to Maj. Gen. Robert H. Allen, chief of In- fantry, whose annual report was made public yesterday. He's so mad, in fact, that sometimes he quits in disgust and runs away with a princess of something. Way to Use Ration. The actual Infantry ration, it was explained in the Infantry section of the War Department, is not so bad if it is followed out as prescribed. But they draw the analogy of. going into a swell hotel” with 31 cents in your pocket and looking at the menu. You can have anything listed which you can buy for that amount and the chances are you would be pretty hungry when you got through. It’s the same when the infantryman looks over the Army regulations and comes upon his ration. He can have as much of it, or food in kind, as can be bought for 31.5 cents. Mess ser- geants must rack their brains to fig- ure out how a healthy man can be fed for this amount and kept healthy. Even a reduction of the personnel does not_entirely answer _the problem. 40 SCHOOLS’ PRODUCT DIES “DOPE” ADDICT Medical Education Gained at Cost of $100,000 Ends in Disaster. Fatal Beating Suspected. By the Associated Press. | CHICAGO, November 27.—Posseksor of & medical education obtained at 40 schools at a cost of $100,000, Dr. Arthur E. Price died in the Bridewell Hospital addicted to “dope,” it was brought out at a coroner’s inquest to- day. ‘When Dr. Price was removed from the county jail to the hospital, his wrists had been slashed supposedly with a safety razor blade and his death was announced as suicide. Tt developed, however, that he had suffered a fractured skull and both eyes were discolored. According to Peter Granata, deputy coroner, the skull had been fractured some time previously and an abscess had developed. The inquest was opened after rela- tives intimated to the coroner they belleved he had been beaten while in custody at some institution. Dr. Price was known to men as addicted to “dope.” The inquest was continued until December 2, with orders from the coroner not to close it until all angles had been investigated. Federal $13.35 It would have to be considerably re- duced to give the soldier as good or plentiful fare as is prescribed for the marine. Food May Spoil. The marine’s ration is technically the same as that of the sailor, but the latter is allowed more money because of the likelihood of food spolling at sea, especially on tropical cruises. The marine in camp, however, is rea- sonably close to markets and need buy only enough for immediate require- ments. The differences are quite notable. The soldier is allowed 17.6 ounces of beef and bacon or their equivalent for his meat ration. The marine gets 1% pounds of smoked meat or 1% pounds of fresh meat, figured on the basis of bacon and beef, each day. The soldier gets 18 ounces of flour, in the form of bread and biscuits, or the equivalent, for a day. The sailor or marine is entitled to 1% pounds. of fresh vegetabl L marine can have 1% pounds, or any- thing else which costs the same. The hasis for figuring the fresh vegetable ration is potatoes and onions. It is in these three items, particu- larly in the meat allowance, that the infantryman_suffers worst. This by no means tells the whole story, how- ever. The Navy ration allows small items, like cheese, which do not ap- pear in the Army ration. Effects of Sea Alr. The difference in rations was not a matter of luck, Navy officers explaln, but was based on the observed fact that sea air whets the appetite more than close order drill or even picks and shovels on a frosty morning. A man at sea needs more fuel to keep him going, and the Government wise- 1y provided for this requirement. As for the marines—when they are in camp they just happen to be in luck, 2o. SUBSTITUTES USED FORHOLLY AND PINE Stores Adopt New Style Ar< tificial Ornaments to Save Greens. arrays of Christmas gifts of all rieties were spread be fore the gdniiring gaze of Washing tonlans in the oity stores, fully a week early this year, one of the noticeable features of the display was the in creasing use of beautiful substitutes for native holly and ground pine i decorations. #Some of the large stores, which in the past have specialized in huge wreaths of holly and streamers of ground pine, appeared to have in vested largely this year in attractive bright and new-style ornaments of various textures and hues. This trend toward Increasing use of substitutes for the fast-disappearing holly and ground pine in the vicinity of Washington has proved highly pleasing to those behind the campaign this year for preservation of thesa beautiful and attractive Christmas greens.
