Harry Alexander, Inc., electrical con- tractor of Washington and New York City, today filed suit in the District Su- preme Court through Attorney W. C. Sullivan against 17 defendants, includ- ing the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, its New York and ‘Washington local unions and their offi- cers, asking an injunction to prevent strikes against the plaintiff in New York and in the District of Columbia. ‘The_Electrical Contractor's Association of New York and its president were also named as defendants.

Contractor Is “Picked.” Tt further charges that in connection with the Daily News building operation in New York City, the alleged ‘“con- tractors’ ring” picked the electrical con- tractor who was to do the work on that building; that the general contractor learning what had been done declined to recognize the hand-picked electrical contractor and instead gave the work to the plaintiff; that thereupon the al- leged ring caused the electrical workers' union to call a strike on all of the plaintifi’s operations in and around New York; that the plaintiff was thus compelled to employ for its New York operations men connected with a rival union and thereupon the local union of electrical workers in the District of Columbia was instructed by the inter- national officers to call a strike here &gainst the plaintiff for employing men in New York alleged to be non-union. . Business Ruin “Sought.” ‘The bill further charges that the al- leged “contractors’ ring” had determined to destroy the plaintiff’s business, and that the Electrical Workers’ Union has in ot least one instance refused to fur- nish men to go on with the plaintiff’s contracts in Washington until the 1 America will be well represented when Queen Mary greets society at Buck- ingham Palace.

MANILA, May 6.—The greatest group of astronomers ever to come to the Philippines is in the central islands of the archipelago to_observe the total eclipse of the sun on May 9. Two groups of scientists from the United States, one from Germany and one from the Manila Observatary have established stations from which to view the phenomenon. The groups from abroad came half way around the world, bringing with them tons of instruments at a cost of thousands of dollars, on a 50-50 chance that the sky would be clear when the eclipse occurred. ‘They were informed by the local Weather Bureau that the eclipse would take place at the beginning of the rainy season, and that there was only half a chance that clear weather would prevail. But of =o great importance do they consider this chance to study the sun's corona, which may be seen during a total eclipse, that they chose to gamble with the weather. Of course, if the sky is cloudy the ex- tensive preg:nnom which they have made will ve been for naught.

Although it is present at all times, it cannot be seen because of the sun’s brightness, but when the sun is obscured by the moon it blossoms_forth like a brilllant tropical flower. It is probably in the main composed of finely divided mat- ter shot out by the sun, and acted upon by electro-magnetic forces. That it is not a solid substance is {:roved by the unresisted passage of comeis through the space occupied by its lum- inous sheaves. It varies in shape with the progress of the sun-spot period. Sclentists are intensely interested in the corono, because they feel that a further study of it might reveal the secrets of the atom and the ultimate structure of the universe. They want to know its chemical composition, its origin, its relation to sun spots and other solar phenomena, its size and the rapidity with which it changes shape. They want to know what coronium, that mysterious gas found only in the sun’s corona, consists of—with the hope that acquisition of this secret will reveal a new element such as helium gas, which was first observed in the sun’s spectrum. Naval Observers Boat Equipped. ‘The two parties of scientists from the United States are from the United States Naval Observatory in Washington and from Johns Hopkins University. The one from Germany is from the University of Hamburg. In additfon, local scientists' connected with the Manila Observatory, a Philippine gov- ernment _institution, have established two stations—one in Cebu and one in Tloilo. The Naval Observatory's expedition is the most completely outfitted of the four groups. This party of astronomers brought with them approximately 28 tons of apparatus. ‘Their equipment mncludes a huge solar camera with a focal length of 75 feet.

The latter station is near the University of Hamburg station. ‘The eclipse will originate in the Indian Ocean, close to the eastern coast of Africa. It will trace a path of total eclipse over a width of 100 miles for a distance of thousands of miles, passing over the Malay Peninsula, through Sumatra, through the Philippines and off into the Pacific. In the Philippines it will pass over the northern half of Palawam, most of Pany, the northern half of Negros, the northern tip of Bohol, most of Leyte, as well as many lesser islands. This is the most land that it will cross at any point in its course. ’ Ninety Per Cent Obscurity at Manila. All of. the Philippine stations are close to the center of totality, especially those at Iloilo, and if weather condi- tions are favorable, excellent observa- tions are expected. The eclipse will occur in the Philippines at approxi- mately 3:30 p.m, local time (12:30 a.m. Eastern standard time), a partial eclipse will prevail for many miles north and south of the area of totality.

PROVIDENCE, May 6.—Carried to death when a 65-ton locomotive crane they were working on plunged from a temporary runway, two workmen of the Merritt, Chapman & Scott Corporation were buried alive beneath the waters of the Seekonk River at Washington Bridge, East Providence, yesterday morning. The tragedy brought the total of deaths since work started on the bridge last August to four. Divers and other workmen of the company strove up to a late hour last night to recover the bodies, thought to be crushed under the heavy apparatus in 10 feet of water and mud. Possibil- itles were that the bodies will not be recovered until low tide today. The dead are Douglas H. Howard, 40, Hopewell, Va., engineer of the crane, and J. H. Saunders, 23, Lilesville, N.

After opening their fifteenth annual convention in the Hotel Mayflower this morning, 350 delegates of the Maryland, Delaware and District of Columbia Jewelers’ Association, were received by President Hoover at the White House this afternoon at 12:45 o'clock. Later they had luncheon at the Mayflower and were officially welcomed to the city by Commissioner Proctor L. Dougherty. John D. Enright of Philadelphia speaking at the opening sesslon on “Evolution of the Diamond.” declared that the most perfect diamonds and other jewelry are sold in this country rather”than abroad. Advertising Is Advocated. Mr. Enright's address was illustrated with lantera slides, showing the various processes in mining, cutting and polish- {ing diamonds and other processes of preparation or marketing. Willlam G. Frasier, president of the National Retail Jewelers’ Association, declared that 90 per cent of the suc- cess of a jeweler depends on the con- fidence of the customer. He advocated extensive advertising by jewelers, so that the public will associate their names with jewelry. ‘The delegates were welcomed formally to the convention by Arthur J. Sund- lum, president of the Retail Jewelers' Association of Washington.

Standardizing Fish Names. Current fish literature is rendered somewhat perplexing by the confusion of names which are applied to the specimens in different localities. 'The United States Bureau of Fisheries un- dertook some time ago to clear up this situation by adopting a uniform sys- tem of nomenclature, but this has not entirely met with the approval of the nature writers and fish experts of the country, and they have solved the prob- lem by getting together and arranging some matters to, their own satisfaction. The term “musky” will be used to des- ignate that king of fresh water sport- ing fishes known variously as muskel- lunge, maskinonge, muskalunge, mas kallonge, and so on, ad infinitum The plural will be “muskies” The term “wall-eye” will be used to name the pike-perch, which is called a pike, pick- erel, dore, Susquehanna salmon, etc., depending’ upon the locality. = G trout, gray lake trout, salmon trout, mountain ~trout, land-locked salmon, Mackinaw trout and togue will all be called “Inke trout.” “Brook trout” will be applied to the native speckled txout, salvelinus fontinalls, which is known by a variety of names. “Cropple” was agreed upon as the spelling of croppie, known as lamplighter, shad, strawberry bass, new light, speckied bass an so on. Frogs Prefer Triangles. ‘That frogs can distinguish between squares and triangles was shown in re- 1 cent tests made by S. Biedermann, an n scientist. He set before the square and triangle blocks in pairs. One of the blocks had an insect attached to it. After the U ngular block had appeared accompanied by food several times, the frogs would hop expectantly to triangular blocks. Te with several species of frogs confirmed their abllity to distinguish between dif- ferent shaped blocks. Biedarmann says land, have decided to black out racing that litle frogs are the “brainiest.” | Miller, who entered the prison in April, 1928, would have completed his sentence with customary “good-time al- lowances” on July 7, 1920. He became eligible for parole last October, but a recommendation in his favor made by the parole board in December was dis- approved by Attorney General Sargent. Two months later the Attorney General announced Miller would be released | May 7. The former alien property custodian was convicted in Federal Court in New York in 1927, after a long and spec- tacular trial. Former Attorney General Daugherty was jointly indicted with Miller, but his trial resulted in a jury disagreement, and the charge later was | nolle prossed. A $5,000 fine imposed on Miller has been paid. Miller at present is serving in the stock room of the prison, but until last October was employed in the front office as warden's clerk. ST, WIDOW OF SENATOR'S SON LOSES ALIMONY| Mrs. Jeanette Gallinger Burnap Forfeits $100 Monthly to Sec- ond Husband. Mrs, Jeanette Gallinger Burnap, | widow of the son of the late Senator| Gallinger, today lost an alimony allow- | ance of $100 a month which the District | Supreme Court had required her hus- band, George Burnap, & landscape art- ist, residing in France, to pay her. The husband noted an appeal from the de- cision, and the District Court of Appeals today, in an opinion by Chief Justice Martin, reversed the finding of the lower tribunal. The Burnaps were married in Paris December 5, 1924, and lived together less than four months, partly in Parls and partly in the United States. The | husband, on March 30, 1925, returned alone to the United States and several | months later was followed by the wife, but they have lived apart since that time. The wife brought suit for main- tenance, charging cruelty, and asserted her husband had not contributed to her support since leaving her in Paris. The appellate court finds tha the cruel- ty charge was not proved and that the husband, expecting to be away from Paris for only a short period, had made |an open investigation of Mr. Mellon. Treasury Secretary Is Hold- ing Office Legally, 9 of 17 Senators Decide. By the Associated Press. A majority of the Senate judiciary committee was enrolled today for the report of Senator Steiwer, Republican, of Oregon, declaring Andrew W. Mellon is legally holding the post of Secretary of the Treasury. Senator Stephens, Democrat, of Mississippi, who was ab- sent, telegraphed his vote for the re- port. The final vate on the Steiwer report now stands 9 to 7 for it, with one mem- ber, Senator Ashurst, Democrat, of Ari- | zona, not voting. This report, along with those of Chairman Norris, and the independent reports of Senators Borah, Republican, | of Idaho; King of Utah and Dill of ‘Washington, Democrats, all will be sent to the Senate tomorrow, where the n%ht of Mr. Mellon ‘to hold office probably will be thrashed out on the floor. The report of Senator Norris declar- ing that Mr. Mellon, by being a stock- holder in various enterprises, violated the old law forbidding the Secretary of the Treasury to be interested in carry- ing on trade or commmerce, Was defeated, 12 to 4. Two Democrats on the committee of 17 supported the Steiwer report, which not only held that a stockholder should be allowed to serve as Secretary of the Treasury but that any action against| Mr. Mellon was outside the jurisdiction of the Senate. The two Democrats were Stephens | and Overman of North Carolina. The Republicans for the report were Steiwer, Deneen, Illinois; Gillett, Massachusett: Robinson, Indiana; Waterman, Col rado; Burton, Ohio, and Hastings, Dela- | ware. 1 A majority of the committee was| shown also against the motion of Sen- | ator Walsh, Democrat, of Montana for This motion was defeated in commit- tee Saturday, 8 to 5.

Michaelson Denies Guilt. Mr. Michaelson, who has served sev- eral terms in Congress and is a mem- ber of the House rivers and harbors committee, arrived here this morning from Washington. He had little to say regarding the case. other than that he was “innocent of the charges.” The representative said he knew nothing about the offense with which he 1s charged. He added that there had | been intimation from some places that he had tried to cover up the affair, but that he knew nothing of the indictment until last March 9, when the district attorney of Chicago called him by tele- phone. Defense attorneys, as well as Mr. Michaelson. himself, declined to divulge | any of their plans for the trial. Mr. Michaelson was indicted by a Federal grand jury last September after confiscation of a leaking trunk, con- taining liquor, which Government agents claim was his property. The al- leged importation of the liquor occurred Although the indictment was returned last September by the Federal grand i in Jacksonville, it was not an- nounced by the United States district attorney there until six months later. Rumors of the indictment were circu- lated in Jacksonville, but William M. Gober, United States district attorney at that time, refused to make the in- dictment public until last March. Gober recently resigned and it was reported from authoritative sources in Jacksonville that his resignation had been demanded by the Attorney Gen- eral’s office in Washington. He dened, however, that he quit his post hecaus: | of circumstances growing out of the re- turn of the indictment of the Repre- sentative. In addition to Mt.

He will be assisted by N. J. Morrison, special A: sistant Attorney General froth Washing- ton. who prosecuted the cases of Texas Guinan and Helen Morgan, New York night club hostesses, recently. While attorneys for the Government and the defense went ahead mapping out their final plans for the Michaelsen trial, Federal court machinery started grinding away on a number of liquor law violation cases, which appear most numerous on the docket.
