Two members of the com- mittee, S. Marvin Peach of Hyat ville and William Stanley of Laurel, presenting the majority report. thought the members of the county constabulary should be appointed by the commissioners and in the mi nority report, offered by M. Hamp- ton Magruder of Upper Ma wi believed commissione; appoint them, but that their ‘selec- tion should be made on recommed tion of the sheriff. The minority re- port also favored the sheriff being head of the county police force. The committee was reappointed and in- structed to bring in another report at a meeting to be held next Tues- day at the courthouse, Some mem- bers thought the county had not yet reached the stage where it needed a special police force. Proposed legislation providing for establishment of a county police court and for other changes in county laws was not reached yesterday, but, it is hoped, can be considered at next Tuesday’s meeting. Pending a final decision in the po- lice force situation the county com- missioners are appointing no con- stables. Painter Falls in Church. Special Dispatch to The Star.

Dr. Walcott also was the discoverer of the richest and largest dgposit of Middle Cambrian fossils in the world—near Field, in British Co- lumbia, ¢ da choolboy, interested in ry, Dr. Walcott acquired te for geology while ves ung. ended from New ngland settlers who emigrated from shire, he was born in York Mills, Oneida County, N. March 1850. His education W schools of Utica, which , and in the Utica He in the public he entered in 1 Academy, which he left in 1868. then entered a hardware store a clerk and, continuing in such occu- pation for two vears, acquired a practical business training proved of value to him in later scientific _tastes were develop ed at the age of 13, when he became interested in the systematic collec- tion of fossils and, minerals. The fol- lowing Winter he ‘met Col. E. Jewett, geologist and paleontologist, from whom he borrowed boo and r ceived many suggestions. Geological reading and collecting were continued, and for two Winters he devoted much time to optics and astronomy, and incidentally made a large collection of insects and birds' eggs in the Spring and Summer months. In 1871 Dr. Walcott went to In scientific tendencies were further stimulated by Prof. T. Cox, who was then making a gelogical survey of the Indiana coal flelds. First Appointment in 1876. He returned to New York and in 1876 received his first official appoint- ment, becoming assistant ' to Prof. James Hall, State geologist of New York. Three yvears later he was appointed an assistant geologist in the United States Geological Survey, where, specializing in the study of the oldest therein, he became paleontologist in charge of the invertebrate fossils in 1888. His rise was rapid and in 1894 he succeeded Maj. J. W. Powell as director of the survey, holding the position until he resigned in 1907 to become Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, following Samuel Pier- pont Langley. While director of the Geological Sur- vey, Dr. Walcott reorganized it on both scientific and business principles, and developed the Reclamation Serv. ice. It was he who took the initialk steps toward the organization of the Forest Service, in 1898, when he se. cured the passage of the first compre- hensive law organizing the forest sur- veys of the United States. Friend of Aviation. Dr. Walcott interested the Govern- ment in Dr. Langley’s man-carrying aeronautical experiments. To him also belongs the credit of starting the ational Advisory Committee on Aero- nautics, a body which advises the Government, and of which he wa chairman at the time of his death. He was director of the Carnegie In. stitution for three years, and was vide chairman of the executive committee. As secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Dr. Walcott has carried on vigorously the development of the institution along lines followed by s three distinguished predecessors, Joseph Henry, Spencer Fullerton Baird and Mr. Langley. During Dr. Walcott’s administration the great National History Building of the National Museum was brought to completion and the collections in- stalled; the beautiful building to house teh unrivaled Freer collec- tion of American and Oriental art was completed, and the National Gal- lery of Art was made an independent unit under the direction of the Smith- sonian Institution, assuring its future development. Good Many Honors, He was a fellow of nearly all of the leading learned societies of Europe, and received during his life many of the coveted medals given for eminence in research, including the Bigsby medal and the Wollaston medal of the Geological Society of London, the Gaudry medal of the Geological Society of France, the Mary Clark Thompson medal of the National Academy of Sciences and |the Hayden medal of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. He held degrees from Hamilton Col- lega, the University of Chicago, Johns Hopkins University, Ji ty Univer Pennsylvania, Yale Univ drew’s, University of Pittsburgh, : bridge, Harvard University, the Royal Fredericks University of and the University of Paris, He was a corresponding member of the Royal Geographical Society and the Royal Academy of Sclences at Bologna, Italy, and was a member of other foreign societies, among 1~ London Geological Society, them th | the Academia Dei Lincef, and many American societie In 1888 he married Helena B. Ste- s of Rochester, who died in 1911. surviving children by this maj riage are Sidney S. Walcott of Buf- falo, N. Y., and Mrs. Cole B. Younger of New York City. In 1914 Dr. Wal cott married Mary Morris Vaux of Philadelphia, who has accompanied him in all of his later geological field expeditions In the Canadian Rockies. Father of Stuart Walcott. Dr. Walcott was the father of the uart Walcott, who was one of irst District aviators to be killed the great war. After bringing in down several German planes his own plane was struck and fell just inside the German lines. The German offi- cers, recognizing his bravery, gave the young American a burial with full military honors. After the war the body was reinterred in an American cemetery just outside of Paris.

La Guardia Recites Charges. Called as the first witness, Mr. La Guardia recited the allegation: which he based his demand for im- peachment. He read from the Treas- ury report, signed by Assistant Secre- tary Andrews, which related that Cooper and Merrick had met in Al- bany, N. Y., to discuss the plan under which prohibition agents would smug- gle liquor into the State from Canada and sell it to dealers and customers who would be subsequently arrested. | Thirty or more search warrants re- sulting from the traflic were served {on “nearly every big bootlegger in the State,” LaGuardia said, and agents engaged in the traffic were attached to the district attorney's office to assist in drawing up indictments. The Treasury report related that nearly all of the bootleggers brought before Judge Cooper had been convicted, he said. Judge Cooper was present at the hearing with his attorney, Elisha Han- son of Washington, who told the com- mittee just before it adjourned that “if this were in Criminal Court I would at this point move for dismissal of the charges, and I would do it here now if the motion were in order.” WILL ADDRESS REALTORS. uled for Talk on Taxation. Dr. Thomas Walker Page, president of the Council of the Institute of Economics, will address the members of the Washington Real Estate Board at 8 o'clock tomorrow evening at the ‘Wardman P Hotel on the subject of taxation. He will discuss particu- larly taxation in the District of Co- lumbia. The District Commissioners and other ic leaders have been invited to attend the session, which will be the regular monthly meeting of the board. Dr. Page is known widely as an authority on’ taxation, and many changes recommended by him have been put into operation in many municipalities, it is said. He will givé an analysis of various systems of aising taxes and of disbursing rev- enues. John Maury, president of the Real Estate Board, will preside. H‘"rf ; CALDWELL AT THE AGE OF To Dr. W. B. Caldwell of Monti- cello, 11, a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated men, women, children, and particularly old folks, had to be kept constantly “stirred up” and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oil While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all headaches, biliousness, indigestion and stomach misery, he did not believe that a sick- ening “purge” or “physic” was nec- essary. In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxitive which helps to establish natural bowel “regularity” even for those chronically constipat- ed.

The tion board, however, asked the ads and the brotherhoods to renew fons. The request was granted nd the st sregarded pend ing outcome of new parleys. In railroad circles it is now expected that a demand for wage increases will be proffered in behalf of the engineers and firemen, and, if so, committees representing these organizations and the managements are again likely to be called into negotiations. The railroads calculate that the wage payments to the 22,000 men given an increase yesterday will be about $3,300,000 a year above those which now prevail. Working Rules Mapped.
