¢ STRATON FILES SUIT ONLIQUOR CHARGE Asks $200,000 Damages for Allegations Rum Was Sold in His Hotel. By the Assoclated Press. i NEW YORK, October 26.—The Rev. John Roach Straton, pastor of Calvary | X Baptist Church, has caused papers to be served on the New York World in a suit for $200,000 damages for articles | ng that liquor was sold | published say over the bar in a hotel owned by Dr. Straton at Greenwood Lake, N. Y. An- nouncement of the action was made at the church offices. Dr. Straton acquired the hotel prop- erty shortly before the time last Sum- mer that he charged from his pulpit | that Gov. Smith was the most bitter foe | in America today of the forces of moral | progress and true political wisdom. Numerous reporters went to Green- wood Lake to interview the minister about gn apparently impending public debate between him and Gov. Smith. ‘The World reporter told his paper that he found liquor was being sold open! over the bar of the hotel owned by Dr. Straton and the pastor was quoted as saying in reply that “the liquor inter-| ests” were seeking to embarrass him in | his controversy with the governor. | | B THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Of course, if it was murder, and the fire was not ac- cidental, there is the possibility that the body was drenched in some in- flamable substance first.

Knowledge by Trained attendants for civilian divers engaged in Navy yard work were asked | of the Navy Wage Board of Review in the final hours of its annual hearing which closed yesterday afternoon. ‘The request was made by Thomas W. ‘Wood of the Norfolk Navy Yard, repre- sentative of Navy riggers and divers. As the Navy officials of the board pointed out that every attention is given civilian divers when they go down, Wood maintained that the at- tendants should be civilians who have been especially trained in _signals, operation of air lines and telephones +and safety equipment. ‘The board, which reviews the recom- mendations of workers’ committees and the local wage boards ?f the various Navy yards of the countty, late yester- day completed one of the shortest hear- ings on record. It will present its recommendations for the yards' wage scales for approval of Secretary of the Navy Wilbur. Gets Many 7Proposals. OFFENBACH-ON-MAIN, Germany, October 26 (#).—Helene Mayer, 17, who won a fencing championship in the Olympic games, gives her girl friends at high school a lot of fun by showing them the many letters she receives from little scrap was left. A flame that e in a puff of wind, a-bit of earth ess dry than the Test—we'll never know the how and why of it, but here it is.” Dr. Cavanaugh deliberately flattened the burning end of his cigar against the side of the ash tray before reaching for the jar. He was capable of rapid action when necessity arose, but he never hurried without reason. His only sign of eagerness was the agate harden- ing of his brown eyes a change of ex- pression which Camberwell was quick to note and appreciate. “I told you I didn’t bring you here for nothing,” he said. “You can bet one of those nickels with yourself that yowll find this interesting.” Dr. Cavanaugh gravely selected a nickel from a handful of loose change and laid it on the corner of the desk. Then he unscrewed the lid of the jar and walked to the light of the big window. “Hm.” His only immediate comment was a noncommittal hum, but when he returned to the desk after a somewhat prolonged scrutiny at the window, he pocketed the nickel. “This goes to the elephant,” he said “But it was hardly a fair bet. I ex- pected to lose. Your finds usually are interesting, you know. “Yes,” he added, “I can doubtless do something with this not everything, but_something.” . “It'l be plenty,” Camberwell assured him, “so long as you're really willing to take it up. You begin where I leave off, you know. It's too much for me.” “It's only a matter of physiology, which is in my line as a medical man. You started me on thig track of investi- gation in the first place, but it happens to fit in with my previous training. You have here,"—he tapped the lid of the jar lightly with a thumbnail”—an irreg- various youths offering heart and hand. ular patch of scalp about an inch in | diameter, with perhaps half dozen hairs | belonged, ‘of course, to onjy one person And that hair not only | | on earth, but from. it we can describe that person, and even, if we have the basis of comparison, can identify its possessor as absolutely as if the one who placed her there had obligingly Jeft for us a full set of her fingerprints We are very ignorant, after all” Dr. Cavanaugh turned the box idly in his hands and looked meditatively into the distance. “It has taken thousands of years for us to discover that the skin of the fingers, and the hair, and the markings on a discharged bullet are unique and individual. Perhaps in a few more thousands of years we shall know that of a million pebbles on the beach, each has marks of identification | which makes it different from every | other. | “That would make the keeping of our records even more complicated,” Cam- berwill smiled. He rather hoped the reference to his own work would bring the doctor back to the matter in hand. But Dr. Cavanaugh's mellow voice roll- ed steadily on. “Hegel, wlhom perhaps you have never read, called it the uniqueness of the real. A dime, for instance, he main- tains, has what he termed ‘an infinite number of distinguishing marks,’ though a million dimes' were stamped with the same die and minted with the same machinery. We can never construct in our imagination any idea or image of a dime, or a hair, or a bullet which is as infinitely complex as the real object. Hegel is considered old-fashioned now, but he would have agreed whole-heartedly with your new science of forensic ballistics.” An acute observer might have har- bored the suspicion that Dr. Cavanaugh was drifting along the current of this irrevelant discourse with the surface of his mind, while his real attention was elsewhere. Under cover of these me- anderings, he appeared to be gaining time for some hidden line of thought, reaching some inner decision. But Cam- berwell was not a psychologist. He twisted uneasily in his chair—with so much to be done, he was in no mood 1o listen to a lecture on philosophy! Slight as it was, his impatient move- ment did not escape the dreamy, in- attentive eyes of Dr. Cavanaugh. He shook off his absorption, and laid down his cigar, as if that small and definite act was the symbol of his decision. “I'm as bad as Hamlet’s grave digger. He'd never have been allowed to finish that soliloquy if one of you detectives had been present!” he said with the smile which revealed a surprising mo- bility of expression in the large, deeply chiseled features. ‘“However, I promise not to waste any more time. I'll take this home with me, where I can take a squint at it under the microscope, and give you a report in the morning.” “You think you can identify it?” Camberwell asked eagerly. as nonchalantly as if it had been a package of peppermints. Camberwell's impatience, perhaps, would again have been severely tested if he had seen the psychologist, several hours later, placidly stretched on the chaise longue and apparently concen- trating on the production of the series of perfect smoke rings which floated ceilingward. No one would have sus- pected that recumbent figure of a pre- occupation with crime. Nevertheless, Dr. Cavanaugh had spent a busy two hours, during which the Florentine leather desk appoint- ments had been relegated to the floor, oddly out of keeping with the rest of the furnishings of the room, became a laboratory table, where Dr. Cavanaugh, his big fin with delicate precision, made a num- ber of smears on a seri of small strips of glass, projected each one with and marked it with a sticker, labeled in neat, minute hand writing. _ His face was impersonally calm and intent, as if the small objects which he manipulated with rapid expertness belonged to the routine of a classroom experiment instead of holding a mean- ing heavy with life and death, and tragedy and crime. He sat almost mo- tionless, hunched over the microscope, occasionally removing one slide to insert another, taking notes on the pad of paper under his hand without remov- ing his eye from the lens. At last, with a faint sigh he shut the micro- scope once again into its wooden case and restored the desk fittings to their accustomed places. Even the sheets of faintly penciled notes were thrust casu- ally into a drawer. 'Stretching himself comfortably on the chaise longue, Dr. Cavanaugh devoted himself to watching the procession of smoke rings through drowsy, half-shut eyes. To all appear- ances, body and mind were alike re- laxed in the aimless revelry that pre- cedes sleep. But the air of somnolence which hung over the quiet room was illusory. Dr. Cavanaugh was thinking hard, slipping ideas and inferences into place as precisely as he had slipped the slides under the lens of the micro- scope. Suddenly he heaved himself up ‘4rom the chaise longue and moved to the telephone; then returned to his former position to await, with his usual quiescence, the ringing. of the office door bell. Fifteen minutes later the door banged open and Don Ellsworth rushed in be- fore the doctor had time to put his feet to the floor preparatory to answer- ing the single sharp announcement of the beil. “You've found out something!” The momentum of his entrance carried Don half way across the room before he paused. The words were -half a ques- tion, half an exclamation. (Copyright, 1928, by the Bell Syndicate, Igg.) (To Be Continued.) - —— Joke Is Discontinued. BUFFALQ, N. Y, October 26 (#).—A source of humor for rum runners had been dried up. It has been the prac- tice of Canadian customs officials to ascertain the consigners of liquor cleared for export, then give the names to American customs officials. Since the exporters often named officials of the Anti-Saloon League, the Canadian officials have discontinued forwarding the misinformation to this side. “At least I'll narrow the range of pos- sibilities.” And Dr. Cavanaugh slipped the gruesome little box into his pocket Abbot Van de Cruyseen, an eminent Belgian Catholic priest, was formerly a captain in the Belgian army. taken by a sheet of | AIR MAIL TO FLORIDA BEGINS DECEMBER 1 District Postal Facilities Wait Opening of Atlanta—Miami Line Schedules ,Arranged.
