While he had been con- nected with the department for nearly 35 years he explained he had been with the uniformed command as superin- tendent for only about three years and under the retirement act would be re- quired to serve 22 years more before he would be eligible to retire under the gervice requirement. For 32 years Maj. Hesse was on a clerical status. He was made superin- tendent by Former Commissioner Fred- erick A. Fenning while serving as chief clerk of the police department. Several Eligible Successors. Howard and Corp. Puddifoot. DETECTIVE LISTED FOR LIEUTENANCY Edward J. Kelly, Long in Service, Recommended to the Commis- sioners for Promotion, Promotion of Edward J. Kelly, Police Department detective, to a lieutenancy was recommended to the District Com- missioners today by Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of police. Kelly, a member of the department since October 3, 1906, has been in charge of a special squad investigating homi- cides and robberies since January 1, 1915, and has been acting lieutenant since January 1, 1928. He is popular with members of the department and has been commended several times for meritorious service. ‘The District Commissioners will hold a board meeting Tuesday and it is ex- pected the recommendation will be acted on at that time. Detective Kelly is a son of the late Lieut. John F. Kelly, one time com- mander of the sixth precinct station, LEGION OF HONOR MEDAL The prospective retirement of Maj. Hesse finds several eligible successors for the job of Washington's police chief. Assistant Superintendent Henry G, Pratt ranks the other members of the department. He has been chief of the Detective Bureau since the death of the late Inspector Clifford Grant. Next to him is Inspector William S. Shelby, the department’s personnel officer, looked upon by many as a logical successor. The last vacancy, which was caused by the death of Supt. Daniel Sullivan, was filled by the promotion of Maj. Hesse, who was at that time chief clerk of the department. The present chief clerk is Harry M. Luckett. ° Maj. Hesse assumed active super- wision of the Police Department late in September of 1925, coming to the post of superintendent after 19 years of service as chlef clerk of the depart- ment. He succeeded Maj. Daniel Sul- livan, who-retired. % Maj. Hesse is a native of Washing- ton. He was born on May 27, 1873, and received his education in the pub- lic schools of the District. His first position was in the office of Myron M. Parker, a real estate dealer who later became a District Commissioner. Hesse was a stenographer in Parker's office. Then he went to the post of secretary of the Board of Trade, serving there in 1892 and 1893. Thence he went to the clerical department of the District Fire Department, later being trans- ferred to the Police Department as chief clerk and property clerk. He kept that position from July 7, 1907, until he was #ppointed superintendent by the Com- missioners. Maj. Hesse married Miss Pamela A. Webber, daughter of the late Frederick ‘Webber, secretary general of the Su- preme Council of the Ancient and Ac- cepted Scottish Rite Masons for the Southern Jurisdiction. He is a mem- ber of Acacia Lodge, No. 18, F. A. A. M. He joined the lodge shortly after reach- ing his majority and was elected junior ~warden in less than four months. During the entire tenure of office by Maj. Hesse as chief clerk of the Police Department, the records show, there was not one year in which a deficit was reported in the department’s use of the funds appropriated for it by Congress. Brought Bank Affidavit. Blanton returned to his home in Abilene, Tex., for the Christmas holi- days, and upon his reappearance in ‘Washington was born the Burlingame- Blalock ‘case. The Texan returned armed with Mrs. Blalock's sensational affidavit, together with a number of fove letters which Burlingame has been accused of writing, and turned them over to the Gibson committee at a public hearing. Blanton said Mrs. | Blalock had visited his home in Abilene and had presented him with the affi- | davit and sentimental notes and urged | him to take some action when he re- turned to Washington. ‘While the Burlingame-Blalock case | has not involved Maj. Hesse he has had a feeling ever since its inception that, it was an indirect way to renew_the attack on him. For this reason, Maj. | Hesse, although he has repeatedly said | he did not like Burlingame personally, has thrown his support behind the po- lice officer, and only a week ago ap- peared before the extraordinary trial board as a character witness and paid 2 high tribute to Burlingame’s efficiency during his 33 years of service in the Police Department. “Words of Praise.” Following the exoneration of Maj. Hesse by the District Commissioners on charges presented to them by the Gibson subcommittce in April of 1928, ! a group of citizens collected the many, expressions of confidencz by various local organizations and prominent citizens and embodied them in a book- let ch they published under the name, “Words of Praise.” The compilers of the pamphlet have no connection with the Police Depart- ment, their interest arising merely from friendliness for Maj. Hesse and his men. Sixty-four indorsements are included IS GIVEN COMMERCE AIDE Rogers Honored by France for! Services as Companion to Fresh Air Mission. Layton W. Rogers of the transporta- tlon division of the Department of Com- merce has just received from the French government the medal of the French Legion of Honor, expressing the grati- tude of France for his services as com- pamion last year to a French civil aero- nautics mission to the United States. Mr. Rogers, who was assigned to the task by Assistant Secretary of Commerce William P. McCracken, has turned the medal over to the State Department. ! He cannot accept it under a provision of the Constitution which prohibits an officer of the United States holding a position of “trust and profit” to take decorations from foreign governments. The French air mission wes headed by Gen. Paul Bouabeille and was sent here to study American developments in civil aeronautics. A trip of 6,000 miles was made across the United States in a three-engined plane furnished by the Navy. The mission was entertained in 20 cities and traveled across the country via the transcontinental air mail routes. TRANSFER OF GRANT IS REVOKED UNDER HOOVER’S DIRECTION (Continued From First Page.) under Col. Sherrill Jul, - sistant director. T neajan Born in Illinois, Col. Grant was a cadet at West Point, June 13, 1899, to June 11, 1903, and was graduated third in his class. Appointed as second lieu- tenant in the Corps of Engineers, he served with the 3d Battalon of En- gineers, Mindanao, P. I. Then followed duty in various parts of the Philip- Pines. He came to Washington in the latter part of 1904 and served with the 2d Battalion of Engineers from No- vember 1, 1904, to October 1, 1906, and during this period was aide-de-camp to President Roosevelt. At that time he attended the Engineer School here. He was at the Army War College, a member of the General Staff Corps, in 1917, and was appointed recorder of the War Council in December, 1917. He was made a colonel in the National Army toward the end of that year and detailed to the General Staff Corps and later went to Versailles as secretary of the American section of the Supreme War Council. Returning to Washington he served in the office of the chief of staff after the close of the war. Col. Grant was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for service as secretary to the American section of the Supreme War Council and for other war duties. He is an officer of the Legion of Honor of France, an officer of the Order of St. Maurice and St. Lazarus of Italy, com- mander of the Order of St. Michel and St. George (British), and the Order of La Solidaridad of Panama. MRS. ANNABELL R. BOYD RITES ARE HELD TODAY Funeral services for Mrs. Annabell Reed Boyd, who died Thursday, are being concluded at her late home, 1307 Euclid street, this afternoon, with Rev. Dr. Franklin Johns Bohanon of the Rock Creek parish officiating. Inter- ment is private in Rock Creek Ceme- | tery. Julian A. Kaiser, Carl Perry, Thomas Cissel, Harry P. Giddings and Charles Gaines are pallbearers. Mrs. Boyd, the widow of William G. Boyd, was born in Washington and had lived here all her life. She had { been & member of the Columbia Chap- | ter, Daughters of the American Revo- lution, since 1897. She is survived by its headquarters in the National Press Building. ‘The members of the special commit- tee, of which Frederic Willlam Wile is chairman and Dorsey W.

Although the offices were in the process of dis- mantling today, many visitors were re- ceived and furnished information about the work for national representation. Perhaps the most beneficial result of the educational campaign was the im- petus it gave to a movement to estab- lish permanent headquarters in Wash- ington for the joint committee, repre- senting the varied interests in the Na- tional Capital. Just how to go about the continuance of the work through a headquarters staff will be threshed out by a committee which will report back to the executive committee of the or- ganization. Of particular importance to the suc- cess of a nationel campalgn was the interest shown by many prominent State officials and legislators who prom- ised to co-operate in the movement to enfranchise the residents of Washing- ton by esecuring indorsements from State Legislatures. They promised also to give their support to the bills for national representation which must be reintroduced in the new Congress. TESTIMONY IS TAKEN IN CHICAGO MURDERS Principal Valentine’s Day Wit- nesses Heard Now to Guard Against Possible Mishap. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, March 9.—A grand jury started hearing testimony of the State's principal witnesses in the Valentine's day gang massacre yesterday ‘“so that it will be available in the event of any mishap.” Assistant State's Attorney Walker Butler intimated that the State feared attempts would be made on the lives of its witnesses when he explained that presentation of the case at this time was due to the determination of prosecutors to “get their testimony for- mally recorded and under oath” before anything happened to the witnesses. All State witnesses are being carefully guarded; several of them have received death threats. Six witnesses, Butler said, are pre- pared to identify three men as among those who entered a North Side garage Jjust before seven men were killed Feb- ruary 14. The three, he said, are Jack McGurn, Rocco Fanelly and John Sca- lise, all held now under murder charges.

Lawrence Edward Hoover, a World | War aviator now in Shanghal, China, | on a business trip, through Attorneys William H. Hoover and George H. Happ, | today filed in District Supreme Court a | petition for an absolute divorce from | Muriel De Vere Lyttleton Hoover, an | English beauty, to whom he was mar- ried in London shortly after the | armistice. Brig. Gen. George A. L. Dumont, for | the past four years, military attache of | the French embassy, is named as co- respondent, Hoover tells the court that he was married November 23, 1918 and came to Washington in the following Spring, | where he continued to reside until July, 1925, when his business took him fo China. He was required to stay there until August, 1927, reaching here one month later. During his absence, his wife remalned at their home in the | Wardman Park Hotel, where, according to the husband's petition, she received the attentions of the French diplomat. At the latter's invitation, the hus- band also asserts, his wife visited the apartment of Gen. Dumont. Other acts of alleged indiscretion between the couple up to and including Octo- ber, 1928, are mentioned in the petition. The husband appears to have been debating the filing of his petition as it was sworn to before & notary public November 22, 1928, and just presented today to the court. Gen. Dumont left Washington August 1, 1928, and is liv- ing now just outside of Paris.

Man Bites Dog, He Reveals After Arrest AsDrunk; Police Chief Vouches for Story By the Assoclated Press. FORT MILL, 8. C., March 9.—Charles A. Dana and all news hounds who have taken his words to heart take note: A man has bitten a dog. Chief of Police V. D. Potts of Fort Mill, hearing a commotion and the howling of dogs in the lower part of the city, investigated. Near the scene of the noise a man staggered around the corner. He was promptly arrested for being drunk. Chief Potts noticed that his mouth was full of hair and questioned him. The drunk related, in effect, that the ‘| howling had annoyed him, that he had caught one of the canines, that he had bitten it three times. ‘The story is vouched for by Chief Potts and another Fort Mill resident, whlo ;rn present when the man was ar- rested. the League of Nations. Every member of the Council, in ap- proving a resolution that the committee of experts who will shortly consider revision of the World Court statutes take up the question of the accession of the United States to the court, em- phasized the importance to the world of American entrance into the tribunal. After reading a prepared report and resolution, Sir Austen Chamberlain, the British foreign secretary, called par- | ticular attention to the pleasant refer- ences to the “doubtless oftimes perplex- ing and difficult” work of the Council contained in the American note of Feb- ruary, which reopened negotiations for American adhesion to the Court. He voiced his conviction that every mem- ber of the Council would observe this sympathetic declaration with satisfac- tion. Elihu Root, noted American jurist, who prepared the formula which is felt to point the way for American mem- bership, was the recipient of numerous tributes for his emiment contribution to_international Iife. Every chair in the Council chamber was occupied and hundreds of persons stood in the doorways eager to catch all the speeches. The proceedings opened with Sir Austen reading a report indicating that the British government had received the note from Secretary of State Kel- logg relating to American accession and that other signatories of the court protocol had received a similar note. He remarked that Mr. Kellogg’s invita- tion related more particularly to the re- ply made to the note of 1926 by 24 gov- crnments, growing out of a conference held at Geneva. The British government, said Sir Austen, has observed with satisfaction that the United States feels that fur- ther informal exchanges of views such as contemplated by the Geneva con- ference ought to lead to an agreement satisfactory to all parties. Valuable Assistance Seen. Explaining that Secretary Kellogg's note arrived at the moment when a committee of jurists was about to com- mence study of eventual amendments to the World Court statutes, Sir Austen emphasized that the task intrusted to this committee made it possible that’it might be able to furnish valuable assist- ance toward reaching the agreement contemplated in the Kellogg note. This agreement he was sure was “greatly de- sired by all the present signatories of the court’s protocol.” He then presented a resolution enlarg- ing the mandate of the jurists’ commit- tee so that it might be authorized to take up the question of American ad- hesion. 1350 MADE HOMELESS BY ATLANTA FIRES Flames Sweep Portion of Railroad| Y. M. C. A and Loew’s Theater Building. | By the Associated Press, ATLANTA, March 9.—Some 350 per- sons were made homeless in two fires that swept the upper portion of the Railroad Y. M. C. A. and burned out a section of Loew's Grand Theater Build- ing last night and early today. Both were spectacular blazes. The Y. M. C. A. Building caught fire during the evening rush and hundreds of per- sons watched all available fire apparatus brought into play against it. About 300 men were forced to abandon their rooms when the two upper floors were de- stroyed. The fire is believed to have originated in a pressing shop on the upper floor. The theater building, a combination apartment house, theater and business block, burst into flames shortly before midnight and firemen fought the blaze | for four hours before it was brought | under control. Some 50 persons were forced to leave their apartments when | the blaze was discovered in the base- ment below a pool and billiard estab- lishment. The front section of the building was razed and all apartments suffered smoke damage. The theater escaped fire damage. Fireman W. T. Holt, who went with his company to the Y. M. C. A. fire, only to be called out soon after his return to his station house to ald in fighting the theater building fire, was overcome by smoke soon after he had carried a woman and her 2-week-old infant from an apartment above the theater. He was énken to Grady Hospital for treat- men LINDBERGH LEAVES ON FLIGHT TO TEXAS, OPENING MAIL LINE (Continued From First Page.) Col. Lindbergh to Brownsville after both made a scheduled stop at Tampico. A third plane soon followed. This was a five-passenger Fairchild piloted by | George Kraighar and carried the reg- ular mail for Tampico. Col. Lindbergh came to the field in an embassy car with Col. Alexander Mac- Nab, American military attache at the embassy. The colonel was extremely la- conic and fleld officials would say noth- ing in answer to questions whether he would pilot the same plane back to record for automobiles rested on the condition of the ocean speedway after low tide. Both drivers were ready and steeled for their official trials and awaited only for the tide to cbb to determine whether the course would permit them to send their powerful machines roaring over the sandy 9-mile course in an efort to surpass the present record 20755 miles an hour, The beach, which has been ruffled and bumpy for more than a week, showed considerable improvement last night and if it continues to improve at low tide, which is at 1:26 p.m., pros- pects for staging the race today would be bright. Otherwise, the trials will be put over until tomorrow. Maj Segrave has made final ad- justments to his powerful “Golden Ar- row” racer and White said his 36-cy inder triplex, which holds the present record, awaits only the starting signal to send it on its way in an effort to defend its title against the British in- vader. ol e “THE BLACK CROOK,” “FATHER’S FORBIDDEN FAVORITE,” REVIVED (Continued From First Page.) z:z‘.“eltcf'x" their praise of “the stag- About a month after the opening word got out that it was a_highly im- moral affair. “And,” says Mr. Morley, “from then on it was a sellout.” Dickens Saw Show. After 16 months it was still going strong in late December, 1867, when Charles Dickens came over. To his biographer, John Forster, he wrote a very funny description of it—how “the powers of lightness (in no skirts what- ever)"—came to the rescue of the hero. It was revived in the 70s, again in the 80s, and again in the 90s, and with each revival more song numbers were added and more specialty acts. They'll all be reproduced, as faithfully as pos- sible, in this forthcoming revival, in- ding such illustrious song hits as h Never Deem My he Power of Love,” “Where Shall Baby's Dimple Be?” “The Old of | Sexton” and “Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay.” “The Old Sexton,” for instance, is written for a basso-profundo, the kind that is needed for “Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep.” And here are the words: “Nigh to a grave that was newly made Leaned a sexton old on his earthworn spade; His work was done, and he paused to wal The fun'ral train through the open gate, A relic of bygone days was he, And his locks were white as the foamy sea; Andl;l;,e‘se words came from his lips se ‘I gather them in, I gather them in— Gather—gather—gather them in!’” Mr. Morley has great hopes for “The Power of Love.” -It's a waltz song, he says, with a lovely melody. Right now he predicts that its popularity may be instantaneous. “Lady Amazons.” And besides all that, among. the 80 persons in the cast of this revival, will be eight “Lady Amazons,” all about 5 feet 10 inches tall. These “Lady Ama- zons” are considered a great achieve- ment. As Mr. Morley points out, “It's not so difficult to find eight young women of heroic stature, but to find eight young women of heroic stature who can be squeezed into hour glasses— that's something different.” ‘The eight “Lady Amazons” are going to wear tights—with fringes on them. So are several other ladies not so Amazonish, but modelled after hour glasses, too, One of the big hits of the piece will be an elaborate representation of he And David Belasco, who, as the pr ducer of “Mima,” has quite a reputation on the Atlantic Seaboard as an author- ity on the staging of hades, will be out front Monday night.

The action is subject to indorsement of the League Assembly.
