For the C Association of | Authoress Who Won Nobel Prize Hopes to See Girl of Today Attain Glorious Heights “We Old People Wish For.” By the Asscciated Press. STOCKHOLM, November 23 —Selma Lagerloef, Swedish .author and Nobel prize winner, reached the age of 70 Tuesday hopeful that the modern wom- an would become. the glorious woman Miss Lagerloef, whose first work, “Goesta Berlings Saga,” was trans- lated into English 30 years ago, was asked what she though of the modern type of woman. Her first answer was a question. “Instead of tellipg you my .opinion regarding the modern type of woman, I should like to ask this: Does there really exist any modern woman type”? ‘Then she continued: “The type of woman of the past was developed during centuries of con- straint and strict supervision. She could when at her best with regard to goodness, forsaking tenderness, and with regard to graceful appearance, be said to have reached almost perfection. “Let Her Grow,” Is Advice. “The type of today, that one which is now being developed under a far greater liberty, is a queen who is her- self responsible for her behavior and her doings. She may be yet only a creation in béing. To be just, one ought to let her grow in peace,, neither criticizing nor blaming her. “We old people only wish for her that she may become all the -glorious woman that we hope she would when we provided her with her freedom.” Miss Lagerloef’s dearest wish had been fulfilled when she celebrated the seventieth anniversary of her birth. She had regained’ Maarbacka, the ancient home of her family, restored it and made it her home once more. Miss Lagerloef was a schoolmistress with a salary of 1,000 kroner (about $285) a year more than 50 years ago when her family was forced to sell Maarbacka. She had published ohly a few verses. ‘When told about. the sale, Lagerloef said, “I raised my jrands and called heaven to witness that from that moment my one longing, the abject of all my srtiving, would be to regain the home of my forefathers.” “Goesta Berlings Saga” was published in part in a weekly paper and won the highest prize in . a . competition con- ducted by the paper. The book, which is a collection of stories of the life of her native Vermland in-the year 1830, was published in Sweden in 1891 and was translated into Epglish in 1898. Gave Entire Time to Writing. In 1895 after. the publication of “Osynliga Laenkar” (invisible links) she was able to devote herself entirely to writing and the thought of returning to her ancestral home lingered in her heart, and she finally accomplished this desire. In 1909 Miss Lagerloef won the Nobel prize for literature and five years later she was elected the-first woman mem- ber of the Swedish Academy. Asked how she liked to sit in the Swedish Academy, Miss Lagerloef said, “I only took part in a couple of ses- sions last year and I had nothing to say. I have no influence, but it is very amusing to sit with a&ll these men in the academy.” “I thought,” said .the interviewer, “that you, as the only woman, could be1 {‘eflsted by no one when you had a wish.” “Oh yes,” Miss Lagerloef replied. “I was during many years of the opinion that Georg Brandes should get the Nobel prize. I found that he deserved it and that it would be an honor for the Nobel prize if he had been awarded it. But it was all in vain” Unable to Explain Award. Asked what prevented the award to the Danish literary ecritic, who died last year, Miss Lagerloef said: “That I cannot say, but you see there were so many bishops, I do not mean the archbishop, Dr. Nathan | Soederblom. He is a wise man who omfort of your Guests Over the Holidays Day-Bed Complete This Day Bed with its convertible feature will be welcomed by the house- wife in the small apartment. finished metal pad, which is cretonne an with a valance to match.

Yet Brandes' last book, “The Saga of Jesus” (the Jesus myth) I dis- liked. In this book he was not the old George Brandes. That Christ had not existed, maybe; but his spirit and faith in Him will live, “As an author I have often thought that his story is too good not to be real. I am sure nobody could have written this story. No, I am convinced Christ lived on earth.” QUAKE WREC;(S BUILDINGS BUCHAREST, Rumania, November 23 (#).—Severe earthquake shocks were felt throughout Rumania this morning, the tremors being particularly marked at Jassy, where several buildings fell and pictures and furniture thrown about.

Arrested after a chase by & policeman who saw him walk up to a store window early this morning, Joseph Wade Cra- ven, colored, of the 1200 block of Ninth street, confessed that he had broken 12 show windows and looted them, accord- {ing to the police. For the past two months merchants on Pennsylvania avenue, F street and Seventh street have been losing over- coats, shoes, trousers and revolvers to a burglar who has been smashing win~ dows with a brick wrapped in news- papers. In an effort to apprehend the man, Capt. Thaddeus A. Bean of the first precinct last night placed McGhee in plain clothes and told him he expected action before morning. McGhee remained on the job until shortly before daybreak, when he saw a colored man walk up to the window of the Potomac Rubber Co., 726 Four- teenth street. As McGhee started to- ward the man the latter dropped a piece of brick wrapped in a newspaper and fled. ‘The chase led up Fourteenth street, out H street to an alley in the 1300 block, through the alley to I street, out I street to Thirteenth street.and up Thirteenth street to K, where McGhee ?roved he was the more speedy of the WO, Upon_his capture Craven is said to have admitted he was the man sought and calmly went to the station house.

A SMITH NEW TRIAL PLEA BEING DRAWN Motion for Another Heéring' for Slayer of Girl May Be Filed Monday. Motion for a new trial for Pranklin Ellsworth Smith, stoop-shouldered, half- blind night watchman who yesterday was found guilty of first degree murder in the slaying of his 19-year-old daugh- ter, Bessle L. Smith, September 6 at his apartment, 1151 New Jersey avenue, was being drawn up today by his attorney, E. Russel Kelly, and probably will be filed in District Supreme Court Mon- day. Expect Sentence December 1. Formal pronouncement of the death sentence, which is mandatory under the verdict returned an hour and 35 min- utes after Smith’s trial ended yester- day, probably will be made by Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy of District Su- preme Court Saturday, December 1. Smith heard his fate yesterday after- noon with the same lack of emotion which defense alienists characterized as strange in him and which was one of the reasons for diagnosing him as in- sane. He hardly blinked behind the thick glasses that hid the one blind and th2 other partially blind eye. Before the verdict was given he tried to straighten his twisted an emaciated body, but failed. Without a word, he walked from the courtroom with his guard after the poll was taken of the jurors. Calls Verdict Unfair. Then as he was getting into the van to return to the District Jail. there to await the day of death for his crime, he made his only remark. “It was an unfair verdict. It should have been second degree,” he said to his guard. Throughout the trial Smith sat as stolidly as when he heard the verdict, except for the two hours he spent on the witness stand telling in detail his life history and the events leading up to his crime. _— The knee of H.
