It was 1ssued on complaint of Mrs. Elizabeth Uhl, landlady and neighbor of the actress, and charged that Miss Rubens several times disturbed tenants by look- ing into their homes at night with the ald of a flashlight and by turning off all lights on one occasion by pulling a main switch, The complaint declared that Miss Rubens staged a “wild party” in her apartment last Saturday night, during which she threatened to “‘get” Mrs. day that she would fight the case and | would “hold to strict accountability” all | ! pefsons who made the accusations.” | A warrant was issued here yesterday | a UhL The landlady also alleged that | Miss Rubens frequently had used pro- fane language in the presence of other tenants and that she had refusec to move when req ed to do so. Among witr s scheduled to a Ppear against Miss Rubens are Rita C rewe, actress, and her husband, Ler Mason, who complained of being dis= | turbed by “loud parties” at Miss | Rubens’ apartment. “I am a law-abiding woman,” Miss Rubens szid, when she learned of the | warrant for her arrest. “All those | s are untrue, and I will hold to countability all persons making | | TS0-WORD DRY PLAN WAITTEN BY FLYNN Change of Enforcement Pow-z er to Department of Justice Urged by Him. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 1.—A 150-word plan, in which was urged transfer of ‘the duties of prohibition enforcement {to the Department of Justice and con- Jtrol of the manufacture and sale of al- cohol to the Department of Health, was submitted by William J. Flynn, former chief of the United States secret serv- Jdce, in the Durant prize competition shortly before his death. His plan in full, as made public yes- terday by the Durant prize award offi- cers, ‘was: i “First—Since the manufacture and dispensing of alcohol is more or less a pathological matter, I suggest that the same be taken from the prohibition de- artment and put under supervision of he United States Department of Health! “Second—Disband the present en- forecment unit of the prohibition de- \partment and transfer the duties of the same to the Bureau of Investigation of the United States Department of Jus- tice, This will eliminate a great deal of graft and bring about better effi- eiency. “Third—Empower the United States commissioners to deal with and dis- ‘pose of minor infractions of the Vol- stead act. This will to a great extent prevent the clogging of Federal courts with prohibition cases. “In addition, this Proposmon will ®ring about a saving of several million dollars to the Government in the en- forcement of prohibition laws.” EQUALITY DENIED MAN, SAYS DOCTOR 0ld Adage Is Doubted at Havana Meeting of Scientists of 21 Nations. By the Associated Press. HAVANA, January 1.—The old adage that “all men are born equal” had & scientific finger of doubt pointed at it yesterday, when Dr. Llewelleys F. Bar- ker, head of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, spoke before doctors of the 21 nations of the Western World, meet- ing here for the first Pan-American Medical Association Congress. “The saying, long believed, that all men are created equal is not true,” Dr. Barker said, “and we medical men know it. In fact, this is the thing that is holding up further advance- ment in medicine. In spite of our won- derful progress in the scientific field, the study of mericine is handicapped by the fact that man is not created equal.” . Continuing, Dr. Barker told of certain cases where environment proved his theory, saying that “a son of a crimi- nal in his environment may become President and the son of a man in bet- ter circumstances may not, but chan are far more in favor of the latter.” He explained that when physicians take individual cases there is nothigg of the equality phase of man to work on.

Jos. A. Wilner & Co. Custom 801 G St. N.W. Establisi | | $5,000 Reward to Be Paid| for Each Dead Robber, Despite Suits. By the Associated Press. DALLAS, Tex., January 1.—tndaunt- ed by a $100,000 damage suit filed against the Texas Bankers’ Association | after a slaying at Odessa, bankers in | this State continue to place a price on | the life of every bandit caught robbing a bank. The grim condition—dead robbers | only—still prevails. For each one slain while holding up a member bank the association will pay a $5,000 reward. Think Plan Success. | Bankers believe the plan is a success | despite the assertion of Frank A. Hamer, captain of Texas Rangers, that the two men for whose killing at Odessa | the association paid $10.000 were lured | into a trap by persons who conspired to murder them and collected the money on the pretense of saving a bank from robbery. Before the bankers took the drastic step a year ago 26 Texas banks were robbed .in eight weeks. Not one shot was fired in these hold-ups. Neither were any bandits captured, nor was any loot recovered. ‘When insurance companies threat- ened to increase their rates 200 per cent if the crime against which they as- sumed the financial hazard was not | checked within a month, the Bankers’ Association declared war on hold-up | men. Member banks subscribing $5 ! each soon filled a war chest from which | $5,000 would be paid for every dead robber. Robberies Reduced. Since $25,000 has been paid for five dead men, the number of Tobberies has | been reduced even lower than W. M. | Massie, the association’s “war” presi- dent, had hoped. This year only one Texas bank has been held up. This Tobbery occurred at Leonard May 10 and the two men who committed it were arrested later in Arkansas, where they are serving sentences for another crime. Since Ranger Capt. Hamer has de- clared that the two men killed at Odes- sa were the victims of a “murder ring,” the mother of one of them has sued the association for $100,000. This action was brought by Mrs. Mary Hansen, whose son, William Carl Hansen, was slain in November, 1927. Sheriffs Defendants. Besides the Bankers’ Association, Mrs. Hansen named three sheriffs as de- fendants. These officers are Reeder ‘Webb of Ector County, A. C. Francis of Midland County and Bud Barefield of Upton County. An Ector County grand jury took no action against the officers. However, two men are facing indict- ments charging conspiracy to murder two supposed bank bandits who were killed at Rankin. Capt. Hamer was in- strumental in the returns of these in- dictments, BANDITS GET $8,000. Office of Plant in New York Held Up by Three Men. NEW YORK, January 1 (#)—A few minutes before an armored truck was scheduled to arrive and take the day’s collections to the bank three armed hold-up men entered the office of the Borden's Farm Product Co.’s retail de- livery depot on Twenty-ninth street last night and escaped with about $8.000, | after having beaten one of the four em- ployes in the office. ‘Two of the hold-up men carried two istols each and the other man carried NO PLACE Like Swanee Wonderful dance music— marvelous floor — congenial, Deppy erowd.
