% MAGRUDER PROBE PROMISED IN HOUSE Butler Says Naval Commit- tee Will Call Admiral to Hear Charges. By the Associated Press. | Chalrian Butler of the Tlouse na- | wval committee announced to as soon as the committee is he proposed to call Rear Admiral Thomas P. Magruder, former com- mandant of the Philadelphia Navy Yard, before it and go into det of the charges he made of naval ad ministration inefficiency The announcement was made after Chairraan Butler had blocked a move by Representative McClintic of Okla homa, a Bemocratic member of the naval committee, to have the House take up fmmediately a resolution by him calling for an investization of the .charges that led to Magruder’s withdrawal from the Philadelphia post. The resolution aims to prevent rs. ntative, aval who statements whether Admiral Magruder was recently re- | Yieved of his post as commandant of the Philadelphia Navy er he had published magazine ing with the organization HESSE SAYS GRIME ATTENDS YULETIDE Police Chief Declares Condi- tions Are No Worse Than Usual. Despite the record of three recent jewelry store robberies and a day- light hold-up of a bank messenger, coupled with scores of minor robberies reported, Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, super- intendent of police, declared this morning that the crime record at the ‘present time is no worse than usual just before the Christmas season. “We have the so-called ‘crime wave’ every Christmas,” Maj. Hesse said, records for 20 years past show that conditions this year are no worse than in any preceding year and better than in_most.” For the third consecutive time headquarters detectives worked all night last night in an attempt to piece together stray clues into a net of evidence strong enough to result in the arrest of those responsible for the store robberies and the bank messen- ger hold-up. Six men and a woman arrested Tues- day night in a prominent downtown hotel are still being held for investi- gation, detectives believing them to be members of a gang from other cities, here to ply their trade during the holi- day season. Several of them, detec- ‘tives state, have admitted criminal records in varjous cities. ‘While reticent to forewarn crimi- nals by publishing accounts of their plans in advance, police officials in- dicated today that the search for the midnight marauder who has terror- ized the Cleveland ‘Park section and has been blamed for house-breakings in other parts of the northwest sec- tion of -the city has become centered in a restricted area far from the scene of his operations, where the prowler is believed to be living. A .32-caliber revolver and cartridge belt was turned over to police last night with the explanation that it had been found in the vicinity of 1930 K street, where David Jones, colored jan- itor, stated that he shot at a man early Tuesday morning whom he caught lurking in the rear of the apartment. A bloody trail was found in the al- ley, and there was blood in a shed nearby, but police found no other trace of the prowler. Police of the third precinct reiterated this morning that they had searched the shed with- in a few minutes after the shooting and found neither man nor blood. ‘While conceding that the man at whom the janitor fired might be the long-sought-for house-breaker, who apparently has suspended operations in Cleveland Park, police disclosed that an entirely different angle of the case had come to light and were in- clined to doubt even that the fugtivie is a criminal. This aspect of the case was dis- cussed shortly before noon today at a conference between Maj. Hesse, Capt. Sheetz and other police officials, but until enough evidence has been obtained to warrant a final conclusion, no “break” will be made public. Maj. Hesse took occasion just be- fore the conference to commend the spirit of the members of the force, both detectives and uniformed men, who have assigned themselves volun- tarily to extra duty, many of them working day and night. Honor Reception Tonight. A reception will be held in the audi- torium of Notre Dame Academy, North Capitol and K streets, at 8:30 fonight in honor of Rev. Michael Fitzpatrick, S. J.. newly appointed rector of St. Aloyslus Church and president of Gonzaga College and High School. The reception will be under the auspices of the Junior Sodality of the parish.

Before an audience that filled Statu- ary Hall, in the Capitol, the statue of Alexander Hamilton Stephens, vice president of the Confederacy, un- veiled with impressive ceremonies yves- terday afterncon and placed among the imperishable reproductions of the Nation's great, At exactly 3:20 a boy and a girl, standing - on either side of the flag- covered statue, pulled cords that lifted the drapes, revealing the fea- tures of one of the South’s greatest leaders, as carved in Georgia marble utzon Borglum. The boy was Sam Venable Mason of Atlanta, and the girl, Miss Ida Stephens, great- grandnicce of Alexander Hamilton Stephens. The unveiling was followed by an address by Dr. Garnett W. Quillian of Atlanta, principal speaker of the afternoon, who eulogized Mr. Ste- phens as a statesman, patriot, orator and author. Dr. Quillian traced Mr. Stephens’ career from his college days, “which were his happiest days.” through his long years of service a legislator and executive to his final position as Governor of Georgia. Governor Presents Statue. "The rest of the program consisted of short speeches by Gov. Hardman of Georgia, who presented the statue to the United States; Vice President Dawes, who accepted it for the Gov- ernment; Gutzon Borglum, sculptor of the memorial, and Senator George of Georgia. Rev. J. Sprole Lyons of Atlanta gave the invocation, and Dr. Sam W, Small the benediction. Sen- ator George presided. Mrs. Rebecca L. Felton of Georgia, the only woman ever to occupy a seat in t! » United States Senate, was given an ovation by the audience at the start of the exercises, and rose from her wheel chair to wave a small American flag in acknowledgement. ‘The audience was also generous in its applause of Vice President Dawes when he came to the platform, and of William Gibbs McAdoo. The statue reveals Stephens in a sitting posture. It is made of Georgla marble given by Col. Sam Tate of Tate, Ga. Gutzon Borglum and Mrs. Joseph M. High of Atlanta were the donors, and the presentation was made through the Atlanta Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confed- eracy. Patriotic Groups Attend. Color was added to the ceremonics by the presence of banners af various women'’s patriotic organizations, by the group Confererate veterans and members of the Old Guard of Georgla in _uniform, and by the battalion of cadets from the Georgla Military Academy, who were stationed on the balcony. About 2 o'clock these cadets, headed by their band, paraded down the avenue. In the audience were Chancellor Snelling of the University of Georgia and five officers of the Confederata Army—Gen. D. B. Freeman, present commander of the George State divi- sion, United Confederate Veterans; Gen. George W. Wélls, Gen. W. D. Harris, Col. Alexander C. Smith and Capt. A. J. Shropshire. An old negro mammy, once a slave of the Stephens family, who is sald to have been nurse for the Southern leader when a baby, was an interested spectator today. Her transportation to Washington was paid from a fund contributed by citizens of Atlanta. Dawes Pays Tribute, Gov. Hardman in presenting the work to the United States declared that it was a great joy as chief execu- tive of Georgla to tender to the Nation the statue of a man who now takes his place in Statuary Hall with a friend and classmate, Dr. Crawford W. Long of Georgia, discoverer of the use of sulphuric ether in syrgery, whose statue has reposed in the hall for sev- eral years. Vice President Dawes in accepting the statue for the United States de- clared that it represents a man whose place in the esteem of his fellow men was won by the force of a character which irresistibly held him to his high convictions irrespective of personal interest. Senator George said in response to the Vice President’s acceptance ad- dress, that Mr. Stephens was in every sense the man he was declared to be by Myrta Lockett Avary, “the one public man of his day who remained throughout the war neither North- erner nor Southerner, but American.” The ceremonies were brought to a close with the placing of floral wreaths on the statue by different women's or- ganizations.

Ruddy admitted that Day told him he was “anxious to find out about Kern's responsibilit; and the detective said he suggested the best way would be to investigate his credit s din; Justice Frederick L. ldons, presid- ing, questioned Ruddy length _on this phase of the evidence. “You understood Mr. Day wanted y find out for him what Jur financial responsibility was the court.

O'Reilly then searched the records at the office of the recorder of deeds as far back as January 1, 1926, but found no mortgages. The report concluded that “some idea as to when Kern bought the home would be necessary to learn if there were any mortgages,” and added: “I will attempt to learn the amount and holder.” In response to another question from Justice Siddons, the witness stated he had no doubts but that the O'Reilly report was in conformity with Day’s instructions.

RECORD BROKEN IN SOUTH. Temperature Drops to 10 Above at Asheville, N. C. ATLANTA, Ga., December 9 (#).— Cold weather that broke all December records in many parts of the South was slowly moving northeastward today, but the weather still was fair and cold. Temperatures ranged from 8 @bove zero at Louisville this morn- ing to 14 here, 28 at Savannah and New Orleans, 30 at Jacksonville, 40 at Tampa and 55 at Miami. Asheville, high in the mountains, reported 10 above zero, Truck and citrus growers at Miami were warned by the Weather Bureau that frost is probable tonight if the wind comes from the northwest. to put across their entire State ticket. Senator Reed has maintained silence regarding his p Months ago he indicated he would not be a candidate to succeed himself, in all probability, as Senator. But he fs interested in the question of the foreign relations of this country. He has been In pub- lic life for years, and conditions may rsuasive in itor if he be not nominated for President. Recently word reached Washington that Charles M. | prominent dry Democrat of Missourd, had filed for the Senate. The Reed following has heen antagonistic to Hay, and Reed has been bitterly fought in the past by H There is a feeling in some quarters that the Reed faction does not intend to have the senatorial race pre-empted by Hay, although John T. Barker, city counselor of Kansas City, and an intimate friend of Sena- tor Reed, insists that the entry of Mr. Hay into the Senate race wili not af- fect Senator Reed's decision in the matte Says Reed Will Run. Mr. Barker issued a statement while here on business, deciaring that Sen- ator Reed would file for the Senate. He made the statement after talking th Senator Reed, but insisted that e matter had not been discussed by them. His siatement follows: “I firmly believe Senator James A. Reed of Missourl will be nominated by the Democrats as their candidate for President and that he will be elect- ed. Many prominent Democrats are mentioned, but Reed possesses quali- ties not possessed by any others. He is the most colorful man in America today and is the only man that is vight up on all public questions. His fight against corruption and illegal use of money in politics has made him the champion of the American people. “I am certain Senator Reed will allow his friends to file his name as a candidate for Senator from Missouri, in the Democratic primary in August, 1928. This will not be understood to militate in any way against his chances for election as President, as the Democratic party the last few years has been a minority party and only such a man as Reed has any chance to be elected President. There is a virtually unanimous demand in Missouri for Reed to file for the Sen- ate and T am confident he will file. “Of course, if he nominated for President, he will be compelled to withdraw, but in my judgment two things are absolutely certain: (A) That Senator Reed will flle for the Senate, and (B), that he will be nominated and elected President of the United States. I had a long talk with him this morning and while we did not discuss these matters, as he is not in any sense an avowed candidate for President, T am certain the two con- clusions reached by me are correct. “The fact Mr. Hay or any one elsa files for the Senate in Missouri will not in any way, in my judgment, af- fect Senator Reed's attitude. His friends will insist that he file for the Senate, and I am certain he will do s0. No man in Missouri can ever run a close race against Senator Reed, and he will be nominated for the Senate !f not nominated for the presi- dency without making any campaign of any kind, although those of us who know Senator Reed are certain he will make an active campaign, visit- Ing every county in the State. “His services are too valuable to dispense with, and if not nominated for the presidency, he again will be 1 member of the Senate. I firmly be- lieve, however, the people of the United States will demand his elec- tion as President, but such demand will not in any way prevent him from allowing his name to be filed as a candidate for the Senate.” RESIGNATIOI; ACCEPTED.

Denying recent newspaper reports that a secret treaty was being nego- tiated between Japan and Mexico, the Japanese embassy yesterday issued a statement In which it was declared that there exists no secret agreement or secret treaty between the two coun- tries. 1t follows: “With regard to the report recently circulated in some newspapers that a ‘secret’ treaty was being mnegotiated by Japan and Mexico, the Japanese embassy states, in the name of the Japanese government, that the gov- ernment has never approached the Mexican government with proposals for any secret treaty, nor has it ever received any suggestion of such a nature from the Mexican government and, therefdre, that there exists no secret treaty or secret agreement whatever between Japan and Mexico.” SUSAN B. ANTHONY FIGHT IS REVEALED Mrs. Parkhurst Resigns as Director of Memorial Organization. The controversy in the Susan B.

Mary Alien A on November 22 an- thorized her to call to the attention of the Post Office Department the "“im- proper delivery of mail and the with- holding of mail, the property of the foundation, by a former director of a committtee.” Following the meeting November 22 from which representatives of the press were excluded, Mrs. Clara O'Brien_McCrone, president-elect, an- nounced her resignation. Court Action Proposed. From members who attended the stormy meeting it was revealed that a motion had been introduced suggest- ing court action to restrain a national promotion director in charge of rais- ing funds “from Interfering with the work of the foundation and turn over all papers and funds belonging to i1t.” No action was taken on the motion. Mrs. Parkhurst, in her letter of res- ignation to Mrs. Adams, declares: “At a meeting of the board of direc- tors held in the Cairo Hotel November 22, by proper resolution passed and adopted, T was given authority to take up with the post office certain further work on a case in relation to the im- proper delivery of mail and to the withholding of United States mall, property of the Susan B. Anthony Foundation, Tnc., by a former direc- tor of a committee. “Immediately after this conference with the inspector in charge I wrote you a special delivery letter, urging you to call a special meeting of the board. I have received no acknowl- edgement of this letter, nor has such a meeting been called. “You also have refused to allow the representatives of the press to attend our meetings, and as I feel that the business side of the Susan B.

New Year's Eve Fetes May Be Cut Short If Sunday Observance Law Is Enforced Aside from devising schemes to trap the so-called “cat” burglar and the gem robbers, whose extensive opera- tions in recent weeks have kept the police_department unusually active, Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent, was confronted with another puzzling problem today. The fact that New Year's day falls on Sunday and the police regulations forbid public amusement places from operating on the Sabbath except be- tween the hours of 2 and 11 p.m., has brought up a question which Maj. Hesse admits will be difficult to solve. If the regulations are enforced, he pointed out, all watch night and New Year's welcoming parties held in pi lic places of amusement will be re quired to end promptly on the stroke of midnight. Private clubs and incor- porated night clubs which restrict the celebrants to the regularly enrolled members, are the only places of amusement that can escape the mid- night closing edict. Maj. Hesse indicated that he was not desirous of interfering in any way with the celebrations arranged to wel- come 1928, but that the police regula- tions would have to be enforced un- less some form or dispensation can be arranged for this special occasion. 620,000 PLEDGED FOR DRY PUBLIC Iy Anti-Saloon League Starts Campaign for $10,000,000 for New Department With $520,000 already pledges Anti-Saloon League today work on a campaign to raise § 000 to finance for the next five the new department of publ education headed by Dr. E Cherrington.

Many Cases Can Be Cured If Reported Promptly BULLETIN NO. 13, American Society for Control of Cancer, 25 West j3rd St., New York City. X-RAY AND RADIUM IN CANCER. Radium and X- have two principal uses in the treatment of cancer. They are employed to effect a cure and they are used to relieve the suffering and extend the lives of incurable patients. Often they are employed to give help when it is too late for surgery. Sometimes surgery and X-rays or radium are employed together. There is no great difference between the effects produced by radium and X-rays. In either case the object is the destruction of the cancer. The healthy parts surrounding the cancer are to be left unaffected. In a wel equipped hospital choice between ays and radium depends upon the peculiarities of the case to be treated. Among these is the accessibility of the cancer. In cancer of the tongue, for example, radium is more conveniently used than X-rays. X: d radium are to he regarded as tools and are like the surgeon’s tools and other instruments and procedures employed in medicine. They have no magical properties which physicians of good standing recognize. Unscrupulous persons ~vho are willing to trade upon the credulity of cancer victims sometimes make absurd pretensions for radium. These lead to disastrous results. Both radium and X-rays can, when carelessly and ignorantly handled, aggravate and even cause cancer, as has unfortunately too often been found out by scientific men. The story of Bergonie, who did so much to cure cancer in others, only to succumb himself to cancer induced by X-ray burns, is tragic. The Time to Cure Cancer Is When It Is Beginnin I you think you have any of the symptoms descrived in these arti- cles you should be ezamined by your doctor or at a hospital at once.
