F. 5. VAN BOSKERCK DIES ON STEAMIER Norfolk Coast Guard Com- mandant Had Been on Visit in Capital. By the Associated Préss. NORFOLK, Va., November 26— Capt. Francis Saltus van Boskerck, commandant of the Norfolk Division, United States Coast Guard, dled sud- denly from a heart attack as he was preparing to leave his stateroom on a Washington steamer to come ashore at Norfolk today. Apparently in the best of health, the commandant was returning from Washington, where he had been for a week’s leave. Took Command Last Year. Capt. Van Boskerck had been in command of the Norfolk division for the past year, being transferred to the command in October, 1926, to fill a vacancy that had existed for some Army rooters, in addition to the Sec- retary, including Assistant Secretdries MacNider and Davison and Maj. Gen Summerall, chief of staff. On the Navy side Mr. Wilbur was accompanied by istant Secretaries Robinson and Warner, and Admiral Hughes, the new chief of naval operations. Secretary Wilbur had as his guest Secretary Hoover of the Commerce Department. Another cabinet officer who announced s intention of being present was Secretary Davis of the Departnient of Labo President Coolidge, the commande: in-chief of the two armed forces, did not go to the game, but may hear the play over the radio. Aside from those in the two depart- ments represented in the game, there were many Senators and Representa- tives, as well as many members of the diplomatic corps. There has been a great demand for the tickets here and the numbers who ent were regulated by the number of tickets available. Virtually every offl cer in each of the departments was besieged during the week by appli- cants for the tickets, and as the week went on high speculative prices were being offered for the pasteboards. JAPANESE TENANTS RIOT. Agrarian Disorders Due to High Rents Feared Likely to Spread. LONDON, November 26 (P.—An xchange Telegraph dispatch from okio says that the agrarian riots in the Gifu Prefecture are expected to spread despite police precautions, ac- cording to an official telegram of the apanese home department. The trouble has been caused by the objections of tenants to high rents. A Adispatch from Tokio last night £aid that a riot of 3,000 tenants in the | Gifn district had been suppressed with months. He came from the Pacific Coast to take up his duties here. Fifty-nine years old last month, Capt. Van Boskerck had spent 30 ars of his life in the Coast Guard Service, recelving his appointment to the United States Coast Guard Acad- emy, at New London, Conn., as cadet on May 17, 1889. He was a native of New York and the appointment was made from New Jersey. Attended War College. In 1924 he graduated from the United States Naval War College with the senior class, of which Admiral C. F. Hughes was a member, and was transferred to the Lakes division of the Coast Guard, with headquarters at Sault Ste, Marie, Mich. In 1925 he was sent to the Pacific Coast to as- sume command of the Bering Sea patrol forces, remaining there for two seasons. It was from his next assignment, as assistant inspector of the Pacific Coast, that he was transferred to the command of the Norfolk division. He recgived his captaincy September 10, 1925. During the World War Capt. Van Boskerck held an important position in the Intelligence Service, being sta- tioned at Philadelphia.

The D ed 30 person: Bay State Governor Friends Say BOSTON, November 26.—The only mystery which remained today con- cerning Gov. Alvan T. Fuller's three weeks' absence from the Statehouse centered around the place where he | was spending what his secretary de- { scribed as a well-earned vacation. Reports varied as to that, but it was rumored, without ejther confirmation or denlal from official sources, that he had taken a trip to Europe with his mothe Mrs. Flora Fuller, and his family physician, Dr. Charles P. Syl vester. On the other hand, a friend of the governor, in refuting umcuillun con- ing an injury while hunting with the Quorn Hounds yesterday. Just Resting, 5 Refuse to Tell Where cerning the possibility that the execu- tive might be ill, said: “I was in touch with him only a day or two ago. I wish I had half of his vitality.” The furor over the governor’s “dis- appearance” arose with the publication of a newspaper story which intimated that members of Mr. Fuller's family were worrled at his absence. Herman A. MacDonald, his secre- tary, said the governor had a strenu- ous year, including five months of work on the Sacco-Vanzetti case, and was merely enjoyink a needed rest. It was set forth at the executive of- fices that 'as a matter of policy it was not deemed expedient to reveal his Testing place. | terday ST.

BUILDING PLANS | 20ARD T0 CONSIDER PLANS FOR MERGER Utilities Body Will Study Three Programs Submitted Within Ten Days. Official consideration of the three different plans for consolldating the transportation systems of the Dis- trict probably will be undertaken within the next 10 days by the Public tilities Commission, it was Indicated today at the District Building. The scheme drawn up by the com- mission's chief accountant, B. McK. Bachman, is the only one. however, that is before the commission fn com- plote detail. The plan of Harley P Wilson. principal owner of the Washington Rapid Transit Co., was nbmitted to the commission October 1-in general outline, but considera- tion is not likely to be given it by the commission until the author pre- sents it in finished form, which he is expected to do sometime next week. Third Plan Nearly Ready. The third plan, that drawn up by the firm of Charles Hansel, consulting enginecrs and utilities specialists, also is likely to be submitted to the com- mission in the near future. This plan has been completed, but it is now un: iergoing a printing and binding proc: ess which will take until the middie of next week, it was said, and then it ave to be approved by the public committee of the Federation ens’ Assoclations before it is presented to the commission. The Hansel plan was framed for the util- tics committee at the instance of Maj. Clayton [. Emig, acting chairman upon the authorization of the federation. Comment on which the commission terday, was not forthcoming from members of the commission or its aches today, chiefly because they d they have not had sufficient time ) studv and analyize it. Those who have made a cursory examination of the scheme, however, express the opinion that' it gives the public more ‘dvantage than the Wilson scheme. The cardinal feature of the Bach- man plan, from the public's stand- point, it was said, is that it avoids a fixed valuation with a guaranteed re- turn, one of the provisions of the Wil son scheme which met considerahle oppostiion from utility experts at the District Building. Higher Return for Good Service. Bachman’s plan specifically stipu lates that the property of the consoli- dated company, used an' useful, he not valued until at the end of the first year of operation under a mer- ger, and with that valuation as a rate base, a sliding scale of rates of re- turn be adopted, permitting the new company to earn as high as 9 per cent if it can on a 5-cent fare, 6 per cent on present fares and not more than 41, per cent if the fare be Increased to 10 cents. In other words the con- solidated company would be rewarded with a higher return for efficient and economical operation. Just what procedure the commission will follow in considering the three different plans has not yet been deter- mined, although Chalrman John W. Childress said it was the intention of the commision to accumulate all of the merger ideas possible before preparing a plan for presentation to Congress. It is likely that the commission will embody the best and most practical features of all three plans into the merger bill Pay Causes Surprise. The revelation of Charles Hansel head of the firm of consulting engi- neers and_utility specialists, which drew up the street car merger plan for the public utilities committee of the Federation of Citizens' Associa- tions, that he expects to be repaid for the cost of the work by either the public or the consolidated compan: caused considerable surprise today among members of the federation. The federation, it was sald, was given to understand that it would not he required to pay the bill, and there had been much speculation as to how the firm expected to be recompensed for the thousands of dollars it has spent in making the comprehensive transportation survey on which it based the merger plan. Understanding Denied. Mr. Hansel said that he had an un- derstanding with the federation’s util- ities committee, as well as Ralph B. Fleharty, people’s counsel befcre the Public ~ Utllities Commission, that, should a street car merger be consum- mated on his plan, a provision would be written into the merger legislaiion to repay the firm. Mr. Fleharty, how ever, denied that he had such an un- derstanding with Mr. Hansel. g 3 ‘The whole question of financing the survey is expected to be thrashed out on the floor of the federation when it the Bachman pian, made public meets next Saturday night in the board room of the Distriot Building. 71l 7 :,uu,.m,,’;; 100 OIL WITNESSE 10 BE SUBPOENAE Bees to Be Given Motor Trucks to Get More Honey By the Associated Press.

Skull Operation TO End Crime Tendency IS SUCCCSS{UI By the Associated Press, INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., November 26.—Emmet Brownlee, 18, of Indian- apolis, sentenced to the State reform- atory in September, 1926, for 3 to § years for auto banditry and for 1 to 14 years for vehicle taking, may be given his freedom by Gov.

The boy will be re- leased in custody of his parents, with Dr. Albert E. Sterne, who operated on him, conducting the observation. According to Sumner Clancy, attor- ney for the boy, Emmet suffered a . fractured skull in an automobile acci- dent two years before he was con- victed. Clancy said the boy began to change, becoming intimate with a group of young men with criminal inclinations, and finally was arrested ana convicted, An examination later by Dr. Sterne resulted in a short parole, during which pressure on the boy's brain was relieved after a skull operation.
