Hoes' statement was that two days before the oil trial started, a stranger called at his home to ask questions coneerning personal affairs. This stranger told an aunt that he was looking for 2 man who had been left a legacy in St. Louis. When the aunt became inquisitive, Hoes said, the stranger left suddenly, explaining that #e must return to the Mayflower Hotel to put in & long-distance telephone eall Investigation at the Mayflower dis- closed that no one had been listed there under the name the man had given.

Senator Reed was silent about the talk of his candidacy, but he reiterated | his opposition to the equalization fee | provision of the McNary-Haugen farm bill; made known his plan to call the campalgn funds investigating commit- tee together next week, preparatory to asking the Senate to fix the status of the committee; and outlined his views for a comprehensive flood-con~ trol program, including provisions for increased appropriations for barge lines on the Mississippi River. “The question of who fixed the price for wheat is not ofien to debate,” the Missourian declared. “I think this is what happened: “We had a lot of talk about price- fixing. The President or some one appointed a committee to ascertain what a fair price would be for wheat. The committee had no legal existence. The action was merely advisory. Institutions Licensed. “Then the head of the food adminis- tration was given authority and it was required that certain Institutions be licensed under him.

The farmer had no place left at home or abroad where he could sell his wheat except at the fixed price. “Now, who fixed the price? There certainly was no authority in law for doing it.” Farm Relief. Senator Reed said he willing 1o go a “long way” in farm relief, but he was not willing to “make the farm er turn over a part of his crop. to some Federal board." He said he | would listen to large appropriations by | the Government to be used in assist | ing tarmers to organize and help mar- ket their crops. | Navigation and power development should be included, he said, in the flood control progvam and he added that he was glad to see that “some | finally choose to help out on this | proposition.”™ {POISON CANDY SEEN HOAX of Remus.

PRITTWITZ FAVORS - MALTZAN POLICIES |New Envoy From Germany to ! United States Well Pleased 1 With Appointment. the Associated Pross, SRLIN, November 5.—Germany's newly-appointed Ambassador to Wash- ington, Dr. Krederick Wilhelm von Prittwitz-Gaffron, is a devoted ad- mirer of his predecessor, Dr. Ago von Maltzan, whose policies ha will try to follow The new Ambassador says he i ed by the works of Lord Woodrow Wilson, ay Rutler and other writers on democracy. He watches the develop- ment of aviation with keen interest, is fond of the theater and also in less degree of art and music and prefers poker to bridge. This voluntary revelation of him- self emerged from a cross-fire of ques- tions by American correspondents to which ~ Washington's newest and yvoungest Ambassador replied good- naturedly. The interview was granted immediately after his reception by President von Hindenburg. Pleased With Appointment. Dr. von Prittwitz-Gaffron, who is not quite 44, surprised the corre- pondents by his youthful and athletic )earance, the absence of extreme ‘mality from his manner, and the facility with which he spoke English. “I am, naturally, very happy to be ppointed ador to the United my servics bussadors Speck von Bernsdorff as among the ant years of my caree not been able to many of my Americaa come hera so that T do not f have been oat of touch ountry. here is o tinge aof though, connected with my ance of the pist as Baron von zan (killed in an while on a trip personal friend of mine, follow in his foots'eps and cxecute his poli- cies will Le my aim.” The appointmen: of Dr. von Pritt. witz-Gaffron was criticized in certain quarters on *ne grounds that he had shanged his polities 100 quickly after the revolution.” Of this ie said toda; 1 was not a revolutionist, but 1 was a democrat long before the imperial me was overthrow I thought the change would come by evolution.

The Ambassador said that the name ‘Gaffron” attached to the family name of Von Prittwitz was the name of a feudal state In Silesia, near the Polish border, which his family own “This ne was added to the family name several centuries ago,” said Dr. Von Prittwitz, “but I never use it. Pritt- witz is enough for me.” America friends have that 1 with your fond of tennis, but that “now that 1 am ‘00 old, T suppose I shall have to turn to golf." He said he used to play tennis with Theodore Roosevelt, with whose family he is acquainted. PH. D. HELD PERIL Holder of Moral Stamina to Face World, Dr. Marvin Says. | The view that a degree of Doctor of Philosophy is the sine qua non of :lassroom sevvice, is endangering Jut the counury, the recently appoint ed president of George Washington University, Cloyd 1. Marvin, Ph. D, LL. D., told members of the Federal Schoolmen’s Club in no uncertain terms, at their first meeting of the school year last night in the Lee House. The holder of a Ph. D. often lacks the mural stamina to face the world, Dr. Marvin declared. Finishing the under-graduate school, a mediocre stu- dent, afraid of everyday life, he will accept a fellowship and will obtain his master's degree. Then his professor tion from the student, t3 continue and take a Ph. D. degree, and the product is o man without the moral stamina that can be acquired only by contact with the world, Dr. Marvin said. The present confusion in teaching {of the liberal arts, Dr. Marvin said, is due to the contlict between the old and the new views. The course of liberal arts originated, he cxplained, on the “porchies of Attica, against a dark ickground of slavery,” among a class of aristocratic dilletantes whose studies marked them off from the lower classes. The club elected to membership the four candidates proposed by the board of governors. They are Oliver J. Irish of the George Washington Medic: School; Matthew J. House of the Hine Junior High School; John O. Malott of the United States Bureau of Educa. tion, and Marris Proffitt of the United States Bureau of Education.

However, this bill was also caught in the jam nehind the fili- buster. The estimated cost of the new buildinz is $6,500,000. The Govern- ment already owns a considerable por- tion of the land desired as a site and the bill authorizes an appropriation of $800,000 to complete the purchase of the land. | Mr. Elliott declaves | House leaders are still erecting this building to meet im- perative demands for extra office space, and he has every reason (o be- lieve they have not changed their minds since last session, that h's com- mitteo will act upon it as soon as pos- sible. While the bill under which the between the Capitol and Union tion was purchased the Govern ment for enlargement of the Capitol Grounds authorizes the construction of 4 new avenue from the west cor- ner of Union Station to the Peace Monument, on Pennsylvala avenue. further legislation may be found necessary before this wide new avenue is built, The Commission of Fine Arts and the National Capital Park and Planning Commission are agreed upon a new plan, which also has the ap- proval of the architect of the Capitol, to swing this new avenue westward 80 as to connect with Pennsylvania avenue at Third street.

Aside from his tions he was a favorite erwiner for years in rions penal and wel- | fare institutions. for which his talents were always available upon demand free of charge. Despondency, induced by the in- forced abandonment of his work be- cause of rheumatism, was the only motive friends could advance for th tragic climax of the famous mum mer's career. He left nothing to ex- ! plain his act. | Flowing out of an open trunk were | several of the grotesque costumes in | which he had delighted his audiences with his drolleries, as though he had taken a last farewell of the tokens of the life he loved and in which he had found fame and fortune. Of the fortune, there was apparentiy nothing left. A few silver coins were found in the pockets of his clothing. A search of his effects revealed noth |ing to indicate that he had left an estate. The body was found by a bellboy, the pistol still clutched in the hand. From the position of the body, police said, it was evident that the famous clown had faced a mirror and watched himself in his last erim | gesture.
