Russian Money Offers Problem for Courts in U. S. NEW YORK, March 10 ().—Twenty erimson casks containing $5,201,000 in Russian gold today were involved in a eomplicated legal mesh with their own- ership at issue. Suit was filed by the Bank of France In the Federal Court here to recover the gold bars which are now held by the Equitable Trust Co. and the Chase National Bank. The suit is based on the assertion that the metal was stolen from the vaults of the State Bank of the Russian Empire after the Bolshe- vist_revolution. The legal aspect was complicated by the fact that American courts have ruled that the Soviet can neither sue or be sued since it is not recognized by the United States as being legally an entity. Accordingly it cannot be- come a party to any legal action con- pected with the present suit. Thus trial of the suit is expected to raise many intricate questions of in- ternational law, and involve the atti- tude of the American Government to- ward the Soviet government. The gold was sent here from Russia last month to facilitate handling of trading between America and Russia. When it was presented for assay, the Treasury Department refused to re- it unless the two New York banks would guarantee title to it. Taking the position that they were acting as agents only for Russia, the banks refused to do this. The refusal of assay was based on a seven-year-old embargo on Russian gold established because it was held that title to it was not clearly established. As long as the embargo exists the gold cannot be specie. Its present status is simply that it is 20 casks of material being held in bank vaults for the Soviet. —_— PHILADELPHIA SHAKE-UP ENDS BUTLER REFORMS | Police Districts and 15 Stations| Which Crusader Abolished Will Be Restored.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y., March 10.—A daylight recorder, with which Gen. Um- ber to Nobile of the Italian air service will attempt to measure light intensi- ties at_the North Pole during the Polar t he plans to make in a dirigible ummer, has been developed in the arch _laboratory of the General | Electric Co. by Dr. L. R. Koller. A photoclectric cell said to be 100 imes more sensitive than the usual in- | strument of this type is the basic unit. | The cell will record accurately light in- {tensities to be found between starlight and direct sunlight. | So far as I know, this will be the first time that any one has attempted to measure the light intensities over the |North Pole” Dr. Koller declared vhether there is less light over the Pole than in other parts of the world |and whether the light is more uniform r subject to fluctuations will be of in- | terest to scientists. There undoubtedly {will be many_ other uses for these measurements in the Polar regions. SCIENTIST PERFECTS DEVICE TO MEASURE NORTH POLE LIGHT {Gen. Nobile Will Use Delicate Instrument From General Electric Laboratory on Flight This Summer. ‘The 7-inch photoelectric cell, which has connections with a recording meter, is & G-'-filled bulb coated on the in- side with a layer of caesium, & silver- white metallic element, just one atom d(‘(‘l}. “The head of an ordinary pin contains 8,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms,” Dr. Koller explained. *“Perhaps this will give a better idea of the thin- ness of this coating of caesium. If it should be more than one atom deep the tube would not operate as ef- fectively " The apparatus is operated by bat- teries. Variations in the intensity of daylight change the flow of electrons within the cell and this in turn causes a variation in the movements of the re- cording needle in the meter. The mark- ings of the needle on a roll of paper can be interpreted into light intensi- ties with the aid of a chart prepared by Dr. Koller. The recorder will be shipped tomor- row to Italy for installation on the dirigible. 7 \WANAMAKER PAID [ Message of Sorrow for Death of Noted Merchant For- warded to Family. By the Assoclated Press.

By the Associated Pr BRUNSWICK, Ga, March 10.—An unidentified man was burned to death and Lew Pyrell, Washington, D. C., scriously injured when an automobile struck the bridge over the Altama River here late yesterday and burst into flames. Pyrell, brought to a hospital here, did not know the driver of the automobile, with whom he had been riding only a few hours. He managed to jump from the car before it caught fire after strik- ing the bridge approach. The driver was pinned in the wreckage. The automobile bore a Florida license tag. The flames from the burning car spread to the bridge structure and for a time threatened to destroy it. The fire was extinguished after a portion of the bridge had been burned. The car, converted automobile truck, was said to have been loaded with cross tles. Examination of the wreckage indi- cated the gasoline tank had exploded when the car overturned following the impact. Efforts to identily the body of the driver of the truck proved futile last night. The body and clothing were so badly burned, it was said, that no identifying marks could be found. Pyrell was unable to give a descrip- tion of the man. With a night of rest it was expected his condition will have improved sufficiently tomorrow to en- able him to give investigators a clue to the identity of the driver. An inquest is scheduled for 10 a.m. tomorrow. Lew Pyrell could not be identified here. Chilean Liquor Houses Closed.

O, NATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1928 IBODY OF AVIATOR DISCOVERED IN BAY Victim Believed to Be One of Three Flyers Re- cently Lost. By the Associated Press, NEWPORT NEWS, Va., March 10.— The body of a naval officer clad in uniform and belleved to be that of one of the three naval flyers lost some days ago, when they disappeared after setting out from the Hampton Roads Naval Base in an amphiblan plane bound for Annapolis, was brought to the surface by dredgers for crabs in the vicinity of Cherrystone Light, ac- cording to reports reaching the Times- Herald today. Capt. Tom Forrest of the crab-dredg- ing boat Carrie M. told this paper to- day that he and his men grasped the body and brought it to the surface Thursday afterncon while dredging crabs in the vicinity of the Cherry- stone Light, but that it got away and no effort was made to recover it due to the lack of facilities aboard the boat for taking care of it. "The personnel officer at the Hamp- ton Roads naval base informed the Times-Herald this morning that Capt Forrest reported to the station after finding the body and that tugs and other craft had been in the vicinity all day yesterday and this morning, but that due to rough seas little could be done In an effort to find the body. The search will be continued tomorrow and Monday, if necessary, the paper was in- formed, Comdr. T. G. Ellyson, Lieut. Comdr. Hugo Schmidt and Lieutenant Rogers Ransehousen were in the amphibian plane as it started for Annapolis, where Comdr. Ellyson's little daughter lay 1ll. Since the plane left the Hampton Roads station nothing definite has been heard of the three fiyers, although parts of an aeroplane identified as parts of the amphiblan were picked up near Cape Charles City. “The best medical attention in Eng- land under present conditions can be obtained by only two classes,” says Dr. Little, M. P., “the rich and the poor, and both classes are attended by prac- tically the same medical advisers.” STIMSON ASKS NATIVES TO CEASE OPPOSITION Holds Kiess Bill Is Essential to Philippines—Denies Move Against Autonomy.

Methods. fodernization of the District’s meth- ods for the disposal of garbage, rub- bish and ashes is urged in a report re- celved by the Commissioners today from the Federal Bureau of Efficlency. The report 15 based on a survey of the use division of the District, which was made by the bureau at the re- quest of the Gibson subcommittee of the House District committee. A bill now pending in Congress is designed to meet the bureau's recom- mendations in this respect. It provides for the erection of a garbage reduction plant and three high-temperature in- cinerators within the District. The bureau suggested that the reduction plant and one of the incinerators be located In_the vicinity of Brentwood road and Ninth street northeast, and that the two others be placed along the river, one in the vicinity of ths mouth of Rock Creek and the other in the vinicity of Thirteenth and Water streets southeast. ‘The Commissioners have opposed this bill, but it has been indorsed by the Federation of Citizens’ Associations and the Citizens’ Advisory Council. Con- struction of loading stations adjacent to the incinerators proposed to be located on the river is recommended by the bureau. The residue from the incinera~ tors as well as the city’s ashes would be transported from these stations by | | scows to either Gravelly Point or Blue l}lalm. under the bureau's recommenda- tion. “The gresem methods for disposing of the three types of refuse—garbage, rubbish and ashes—are inadequate,” sald the bureau’s report. ‘‘Measures for improving present conditions are es- g:clally urgent in the case of rubbish cause the dump nuisance has assumed proportions that demand immediate correction. The installation of inciner- ators will correct this condition and at the same time will relieve to some ex- tent the immediate urgency for new dumps, since all material will be re- duced to ashes before being dumped. The dumps would not then be ob- jectional. However, all available dump- ing space in the city will soon be filled ' poRtrOL ol oo . theiwineihad boenjtampered with Heally Do eme R B e hle———Jal———ol———ol——alale——nl——— o | ——— o] ———]a]———] A | Transformation 1n Apartment Design “000000000“0: LWAYS anticipating demand, we have made wonderful transformations in the Apartments available in g 1661 Crescent Place —adjoining 2400 Sixteenth Street, and directly facing the pala- tial residences of Vice President Daw.
