Merrick, Federal prohibition adminis- trator for the district including Vir-| ginia, today announced that a leral agent had investigated alleged student | drinking at the University of Virginia between January 4 and February 28 and had reported that there was drink- ing in fraternity houses. | Federal agents have been in the | Charlottesville community, he said, and | have done their utmost to clear it of | liquor. The administrato- doclared his men have taken all legal steps possible to ! date and indicated that no further | action is contemplated at this time, | Enforcement of the prohibition law ! is in the hands of the college authorities | in fraternity houses, he said, inasmuch | as his officers had no legal way of | searching the houses for liquor. PROBERS CLEAR BETA IOTA. Kational Officers Deny Charges Against Virginia Fraternity Chapter. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. April 13 (P).—Charges that Beta Iota, the Uni- | versity of Virginia Chapter of the Delta 1 Tau Delta National Fraternity, have | defied the university authorities in the manufacture and use of intoxicants in the chapter house here, were denied tonight by a committee of three mem- bers from the Arch Chapter of the na- tional society. ‘The committee tonight completed an investigation of conditions here. It was composed of Norman MacLeod, president of the national fraternity; Fred Moore, president of the Eastern division, and Frank 8. Hemmick, nas tional executive secretary. The committee made complete re- traction of charges that “the only basis for the report that there had been open drinking” was the fa® that “liquor has been possessed and used by individuals in the chapter house in the past.” The report of the committee states that the chapter, with other fraternities here, “has made earnest efforts to lessen students drinking with substantial suc- cess.” See Peace With Arch Chapter. ‘The matter of the adoption of the local chapter of house rules required by the national organization was dismissed with the statement that “this commit- tee has been assured that these efforts will be continued in the future to the end that a satisfactory compliance with the laws of the fraternity might be Teached. i Action of the entire arch chapter of 10 members yet must be taken upon the report, but it is believed generally that the report of the fact-finding com- mittee will be accepted by the entire group. A None of the Beta Tota members here tonight would discuss the matter, save to express gratification at the retrac- tion of the charges. The three national officers spent last night and a large part of today in con- ference with a committee from the local chapter, which included Curtis E. Cuddy of Roanoke, chapter presi- dent, and Perry §S. Poffenbarger, Charleston, W. Va., chapter president- elect, and an alumni committee, com- posed of John A. Cutchins of Rich. mend and Lee Williamson of Charlottes- ville. . The national officers also dis- cussed the sttuation with Dr. Edwin A. Alderman, president of the university, and Dean John L. Newcomb, assictant to the president of the university. e Statement Is Made. ‘The following resolution adopted by members of the Arch Chapter, was given out here tonight: “The publicity given the proposed in- vestigation of Beta Iota Chapter of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity demands a public statement. “The undersigned committee of the Arch Chapter of the fraternity appointed for the purpose, have made a full and careful investigation and have confer- red at length with President Alderman and Dean Newcomb of the -univers) with the Beta Iota alumni and wif the active chapter. “We find: “There has been no whisky or other intoxicating Hquar made in the chapter house as has been reported. “Liquor has been d and used by individuals in the chapter house in the past and this affords the only basis report that there has been open . drinking. “Co-operates With Officials.” “The chapter has not been in deflance of the university authorities as had been reported. On the contrary, the chep- ter, with chapters of other fraternities, has been. working with the administra- tive council of the university to develop a co-operative plan for the effective control of student drinking. The chapter has made earnest efforts to discourage and lessen student drinking with sub- stantial sucoess, and this committee has been assur~d by the active chapter that these earnest efforts will be con- tinued in the future that a satistactory complience with the laws of the fraternity may be reached.” This resolution was signed by the three national officers and bore a note that it would be submitted to the full membership of the arch chapter for its consideration and action. —_— MILITARY ORDER ELECTS.

Although the appropriations in the main, under the program, would be met out of the general revenues of the District, Donovan plans to dip into the surplus revenues in the years when the budget exceeds the income. At the beginning of the new fiscal year, Juiy 1, he estimates the surplus will amount to $7,600,000, and while it would drop as low as $4,322,000 in the 1933 fiscal year, his program shows that at the close of the 1934 fiscal year, the total will Jave increassd to $6,796,000. Reasons for Omissions. ‘The auditor omitted the airport, the new Supreme Court addition, the Na- tional Guard Armory, the new District Jail and the salary increases for fire- men and policemen from his program because of the lack of legislation au- thorizing these projects. No provision was made for the sewage treatment works, he said, as no approximate date has been advanced as to when the requirement for. starting this project will arise, and it is doubtful if appro- priations will be requested within the next five years. In connection with the salary raises for firemen and policemen, he explained, that should Congress pass the bill providing for higher pay, there will be sufficient funds to meet the increase. . Appropriations for the municipal center, which heads the list of new im- provements provided under Donovan's program, would be extended over the entire five-year period. The total amount called for is $11,510,000 for the purchase of the site, preparation of plans and the construction of the courts building. In addition, the| project contemplates a general adminis- tration building which, it is roughly estimated, will cost about $10,000,000.

The " high temperature incinerators, costing $840,000, would be provided for in two years, 1930 and 1931, under the auditor’s program. children’s tu- berculosis - hospital, the cost of which is placed at $500,000, also would be pro- i in the same two years. The bathing pools or beaches, costing $525,- 000, would be financed in the 1931, 1932 and 1933 fiscal years. ‘The aza'nm provides also for the elimination of the Michigan avenue grade crossing in 1932 and the Fern street crossing the following year. The cost of these two projects is estimated to be $525,000. A total of $335,000 is set up for ex- pansion of the Public Library, sprea over the fiscal years of 1931, 1932 and 1933. A branch building is provided in 1931, a site in 1932 and another branch building in 1933. Bridge Plans in Three Years. The bridge replacements in Dono- van's program would come in the fiscal years of 1931, 1933 and 1934. In 1931 it is proposed to replace the Connecti- cut Avenue Bfidse over Klingle Valley at a cost of $500,000. Replacement of the Calvert Street B: would start in 1932 and be completed in 1933. The cost of project is estimated at $1,500,000. Other improvements provided In Donovan’s program are $300,000 for a farmers’ produce market in 1931 and $8,000,000 for the purchase of park and playground sites, to.be spread over the five-year period at the rate of $1,000,000 a year.

The French cruiser which brought Ambassador Herrick's body home as mark of the esteem and love in which Frenchmen held this friend of France was met last night off Nantucket by the United States cruisers Marblehead and Cincinnati, which escorted her from Quarantine, Through a somber gray morning the city tu{l Macom ‘went down the bay to meet the craft that was designed for war but that for the moment was turned to purposes of love and sympa- thy. From the Macom officials of city, State and Government and of France went aboard the cruiser for the journey to Manhattan. - Two Flags Flown. ‘The Tourville flew two flags, both at half mast. From the great tripod mast forward the Stars and Stripes hung limply in the wet haze and from the aft mast drooped the tricolor of France. ‘The casket was on the rear deck be- tween two enormous muzzled guns, be- neath the tricolor and covered with an American flag. On this draped flag there lay a small black cushion, to which was pinned the blazing scarlet and white decoration of the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor, Slowly the marine wru’e. the French cruiser, the American craft, the Macom, Coast Guard and police patrol boats proceeded to the city through a cold mist so dense that only nearby objects could be seen. Suddenly the Statue of Liberty loomed through the haze, her great arm upstretched as though in benediction, and the Tourville began firing a na- tional salute of 21 guns, tiny flashes punctuating the murk from port and hen starboard and then port again.
