D. C. SUPREME COURT OPENS ITS FALL TERM Seven Justices on Bench During First Session—Jury Selection Is Started. The Fall term of the District Su- preme Court opened today, with seven justices on the bench. The corridors of the courthouse, which have been practically deserted during the Summer Tecess of the courts, hummed today with the gathering of prospective jurors, witnesses in pending cases and lawyers. ‘The crowd was augmented by a large number of applicants for _citizenship papers, each of whom had two wit- nesses to vouch for his or her eligibility for citizenship. Justice Peyton Gordon was engaged in impaneling jurors for the coming month. It was his first assighment to the selection of juries and talesmen had to have real good excuses to escape secrvice. One prospective juror sought ta be excused. saying that he was a voter in Maryland. Justice Gordon, once prominent in Maryland politics, quizzed the juror and learned that when he removed from Maryland the talesman had not made the necessary affidavit under Maryland law of his intention to return to that State within six months. The court told the juror he had lost his right to vole in Maryland and was a citizen of the District. Justice Gordon will preside in Crim- 4nal division 1, Justice Hitz in Criminal division 2 and Chief Justice McCoy in Criminal division 3, Justice Stafford is in Equity division 1 and Justice Wheat {n Equity division 2, Justice Siddons in Circuit division 1 and Justice Bailey in Circuit divison 2.

There is only one factor of its I comedy that is neglected by the audi- ] ence, that is the pantomime of Daisy Atherton, playing the Victorian English governess, in the moments she is not directly_involved in the action of the play. Of course, when her turn comes she gets her due. Mr. Faversham, without a doubt, dominates the stage, but he has a worthy companion in Ara Gerald, who plays the role of the widow of an American millionaire in love with the royal emigre. Miss Gerald gives her audience all it expects until the close of the first scene of the third act. Then, standing so close to the footlights that the arch above the stage casts a shadow behind her, she opens her heart. Her line, feeling that those of the audience who were not too blase experienced when they first heard Dennis King sing “The Song of the Vagabonds.” Except for the little princess, who won more hearts than Prince Otto's last night, all the other characters are sub- merged, not through any imperfections of acting, but through their fitting in with the lines of the book. f course, last night.there were rough spots here and there which must be expected in any premiere. But it is unfair to even notice them, for a great deal can be done to perfecting a play in its first few | days before an audience. The story is a very simple one: In- vent a tiny nation with a king in exile, love with the third richest woman in America, give him a beautiful daugh- ter whose hand is sought by a neigh- start a counter revolution and in no time at all you have a happy ending with every one doing what even the them. The story was written for salaried people. Perhaps the authors, producers and actors would deny it, but the open- ing scene is a genuflection to what we so often erroneously call the middle class. Five or ten minutes is given over to a littlé scene designed to create at- mosphere and having no bearing on the action of the play. It pictures the tri- umph over a bill collector. In all, “Her Friend the King” pro- vides a _delightful evening's entertain- ment. It is not one of those master- pieces which carry one into the realms: of philosophic speculation. But it stim- ulates the collective brain of the audi- ence by its sprinkling of reflections on modern life and social condition. A brutal person might say the story was a bit hackneyed, but it is written in an amusing style and is loaded down with charming little bits of epigram which, would be great to use in a letter to your brother. “THE GHOST PARADE"—Poli's. Blood-curdling screams, revolvers belching fire in the dark, eerie figures, and all the elements of the old-fash |ioned mystery melodrama, with a fe | modern ~embellishments, are cleverly |woven into “The Ghost Parade,” a !product of the imaginative Hadley | Waters. which had its Washington pre- | miere last night at Poli's Theater. In other words, “The Ghost Parade” {is one of those mystery plays which | stimulate heart action and keep one | | in intense nervous suspense and trem- | bling fear. It is a fast-moving piece, | as all good melodramas should be, and | | as a result it tenaciously holds the in- terest, though awestricken it may ‘be at times. E Another thing which may be said of “The Ghost Parade” is that it is ap- propriately named. There has been no |melodrama in recent years, perhaps, | that used as many white-sheeted fig- ures, and it seems that they are ever present. _These ghosts which are haunting Poli’s this week, however, are not the graceful, fantastic sgb‘lls that the superstitious tell about. They have a decided tendency to be clumsy, but their clumsiness is unintentional. A darkened stage and such obstructions as chairs and stairways are difficult for even ghosts to avoid. The entire action of “The Ghost Parade” takes place in an ancient, | spooky-looking castle in the mountains of Northern India, which is surrounded by a horde of rebellious natives, beat- ing monotonously on tomtoms. The story it tells is an absorbing one of in- trigues, plots and whatnot, involving traitorous British officers engaged in ammunition smuggling activities. A detail of the plot would be almost futile, and aside, it would detract materially | from the play if revealed in advance. The hair-raising episodes, however, begin at the very outset and continue until the fatal death leap of one of the British officers from the top balcony of the old Hindu castle as the final cur- tain descends. In the interim there are numerous ghost processions, screams, shots, knife throwing and pursuits through subterranean tunnels to main- tain a quivering interest. Charles K. Gordon, who in associa- tion with H. T. Curley presents “The Ghost Parade,” has assembled a com- petent cast for this rather strange mel- odrama. Most amusing, however, is Catherine Proctor, who as Lizzie, an English maid, provides the only comedy lines with her easy flowing cockney ac- cent and characteristic mannerisms. The heavy lines fall on Evan Thomas, part in uncovering the ammunition- smuggling plot. Joan Blaine gives & flawless portrayal of Helen Ainslee, wife of the commandant of the Northern Indian outpost of the British forces. Others in the cast include Oswald Ma shall, who is seen in the role of Maj. Albert_Ainslee, the commandant; Cath- erine Derwent as Summa Singhi, who offers -an excellent characterization of an_insidiously sinister Hindu; Anna Johnson as Joan Beggs, Donald Black- well as Lieut. Billy Ayers and Stuart Casey as Lieut. John Kent. FLINTS AND SCRAPERS Specimens of Handicraft of Men ‘Who Lived 1,000 Years Ago. ADELAIDE, Australia (#)—Perhaps the closest contact which modern man may ever expect with the days of cave men is reported by a party of Australian ethnologists. The last of the cave men is generally 10,000 years ago. He was a stone wprker, his tools of chipped flint, in flakes and other simple forms.

The find was made in Mootwingee Gorge, which lies buried, almost inac- cessible in the interior, north of the famous mining region of Broken Hill. The flints were true Stone Age work- ranship. How long their maker had been departed is unknown, but the pres- ent Australian aboriginal, who still in- habits the region is regarded as a living example of Stone Age cave men. He has no architecture, but lives in caves, or under branches thrown against trees, and his implements and weapons all are stone. ‘The party from Mootwingee Gorge believes that the place represents a cui- ture that may date back thousands of | Col years. There are drawings on the cave rocks, many of them bri tly colored. Base Ball Player to Wed. ELIZABETH CITY, N.

C, FORT OFFICERS JOIN| SPEAKEASY RAIDS Three Persons Arrested by Captains From Fort Wash- ington and County Officials. BY GEORGE PORTER, Staff Correspondent of The Star. MARLBORO, Md., October 1.—Mili- tary authorities joined hands with Prince Georges County police yester- day to “clean up” alleged “speakeasies” just outside Fort Wasnington, historic military_establishment across the Po- tomac ‘River from Mount Vernon, and in three raids, executed simultaneously, arrested three persons and seized a quantity of liquor. The raids were planned by Maj. A. M. Patch, commander of the fort, in con- junction with the police authorities. The major assigned three of his cap- tains to the raiding parties to take charge of any soldiers who might be found in the establishments visited. No Soldiers Found. However, no soldiers were encoun- tered, although one of the persons ar- rested was Mrs. Robert Grogan, wife of an Army sergeant mow on recruit- ing duty in Pittsburgh. The raiding group comprised Capt. Mike Conway, Capt. Willlam Louisell and Capt. Milton B. Halsey, all of Fort Washington; Deputy Sheriffs Hepburn and Robinson, Sergt. Machen and Pvts. Prince and Nichols of the Prince Georges County police, and Constable Walden. The raids were planned after Maj. Patch had appealed to the county au- thorities because, he claimed, many of his soldiers had been led into trouble by the speakeasies. One enlisted man, he said, became stupified and wan- dered away all night. ‘The persons taken in the raids were Mrs. Grogan, Lipp Arnold, 60 years old, and Theodore Acton, 25. All were charged with possession. The men were placed under $500 bond each by Justice of Peace Thomas D. Griffith. Arnold posted the bond, but Acton failed and was committed to the Upper Marlboro jail. Woman in Hysterics. Mrs. Grogan became hysterical when arrested. She was not held as police did not care to separate her from her three small children. The military au- thorities guaranteed her appearance in Police Court Friday. In addition to the complaint of Maj. Patch, the county police had received several anonymous letters telling of a “bootleggers’ row” near Fort Wash- ington. Although the raid was the second within a fortnight in which the military authorities endeavored to better condi- tions in civilian communities near their posts, Maj. Gen. Butler having taken similar action at Quantico, Maj. Patch declared yesterday’s raid was planned even before the Quantico episode. New Insulating Board Plant. CHICAGO, October 1 (#).—The Chi- cago Mill and Lumber Corporation will, on November 1, begin production of a new insulating board fabricated from hard wood, Walter Paepcke, president, sald today. Paepcke said the company planned a daily output of 250,000 square gvefiz from its new plant at Greenville, Miss.

Alleged Robber Traps Himself by Telephoning Police Special Dispatch to The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., October 1. —Clyde Holland, 16-year-old col- ored youth, was arrested last night after ule:ehonlnl the police to find out if was wanted in several minor robberies. The of- ficers traced the call to the office of a colored attorney and took the youth into custody as he walked out of the place. Holland admitted, the police say, stealing a reel and pocket knife from a colored dentist, a pcoketbook conta between $15 and $17 from the store of Mrs. James B. Wells, and eight cartons of cig- arettes and some coins from Kleinman's store. NEW GUARDIAN FOR GLORIA MATUS P. Krautwurst Is Given Custody of Child Whose Parents Were Drowned. Five-year-old Gloria Matus, who be- came the center of a court fight be- tween several persons who wanted her custody after her parents were drowned in the Potomac River more than a year ago, has been given a new guard- ian by the Orphans’ Court of Prince Georges County. As contrasted with the contention when her first guardian was appointed, the transfer of the guardianship last Tuesday at the Marlboro Courthouse was accomplished with the utmost amity and to the mutual satisfaction of all the principals concerned. ‘The new guardian is Phillip Kraut- wurst, 700 block of Quincy place, Wash- ington, a member of the bricklayers’ union and described as being a friend of the child’s parents. He was given the custody of Gloria by order of the court after Henry F. W. Meyer, 1200 block of New Hampshire avenue, another personal friend of the little girl's father, resigned. Meyer relinquished the guardianship because the court wanted him to legally adopt the child. After careful consideration of the matter, Meyer said he felt that, although he had me much attached to Gloria and was willing to continue as her guardian, he did not feel it would be fair to his own six children to adopt her. tHE New Ser: SCHOOL POLICEMEN MUST GO NOV. 15 Arlington Supervisors Decline to Keep Them Through Term. Janitors May Serve. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. TUESDAY, OCiUBER 1, 1929. ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE, Va., October 1.—Refusing to listen to a plea of Sheriff Howard B. Fields that the three temporary police- men recently appointed be permitted to serve during the entire school term, the board of county supervisors yester- day instructed Willlam H. Duncan, clerk. to notify Circuit Judge Howard W. Smith that the pay of these men would be stopped on November 15. Flelds called the attention of the board to the fact that there are but six permament policemen on the force and that one of these has been in the hospital since last Spring as a result of an accident. The three extra men were appointed because of the necessity for protection of children going to and from school, he said. Wants Police at Schools. 8ince there are now 22 schools in the county, many of them located on main highways, Flelds belleves that there should be policemen at every one pos- sible both in the morning and evening to direct traffic and assist the children the board suggested that the janitors at the schools be as- signed to this work. Flelds objected on the grounds that they would not have police authority and Fletcher Kemp, superintendent of schools, was | called into the controversy. Kemp sided with the sheriff, claiming that not only are the janitors without wer to direct traffic, but that they ave all that they can do in the morn- ings to care for the comfort of the children in tending fires and the gen- eral care of buildings. “When there are between 300 and 400 children in a school, the janitor has his hands full without the added burden of traffic direction,” Kemp said. Put Over Until Next Meeting. After this general discussion the board decided to let the matter of the janitors rest until the next meeting, when it is expected that some definite action will be taken. For the second time the board turned down an application for permission to construct & spur railroad track along | tary Stimson at the State Depd$tment.

DAVISON RETURNS FROM INQUIRY TRIP Assistant Engineer Commissioner Studied Multiple-Unit Refrigera- tion System in Chicago. Assistant Engineer Commissioner Don- {ald A. Davison returned today from a trip to Chicago, where he has been ex- amining the merits of the so-called Kegal code relating to the installation of multiple unit electrical refrigeration apparatus, with a view to, introducing a similar code in the District. ‘The District at present has no code Lambden Terrace, in Rosslyn. The board had previously refused such a permit to William P. Ames, so yesterday the Washington & Old Dominion Rail- road Co.. through Attorney R. Blakeley James, filed a petition in the name of the company. Both refusals were based upon the fact that the Board of Super- visors has no right to grant permission to a private concern for the use of public property. Contract for the publication of the county financial report for the year ending June 30 was awarded to the Chronicle Publishing Co governing the matter. Public hearings ago and the proposed code was strongly objected to by manufactjirers as too strict. Chicago, however, has had 19 public hearings on the subject, agitated | by 10 recent deaths caused by accidents | with apparatus using methyl chloride |as a refrigerant. This gas is odorless and colorless and thus gives no warn- ing of its escape. It is a deadly poison. The Kegal code is not yet in force in Chicago, but steps are being taken to enact it in the near future in an effort to prevent the possibility of future fa- talities. Maj. Davison would not state his reaction to the code, but said this would be given in a written report to Engineer Commissioner Willlam B. La- due later. PASSPORT IS REFUSED.

When the Government buildings now under way are completed Washington will be the most beautiful city in the world, in the opinion of Chief Burgo- master Boess of Berlin, who inspected the city yesterday as the guest of the District Commissioners. Mayor Boess sald that Washington has several advantages over Berlin. He was particularly impressed with the local schools, the water system, the beauty of the streets and parks and the traffic system. “Your traffic here is regulated more efficiently than ours in Berlin,” he said. “There are fewer delays and less con- Mayor Boess is one of a party of German municipal officials who are visiting American cities. He is accom- panied by his wife, Prof. and Frau Von Drigalski, medical inspector; Council- man and Frau Bencke, Municipal Coun- selor Mueller-Wieland and other Berlin officials. Mayor Boess, after an inspection of McKinley High School, said Berlin had nothing to equal it. He was particu- larly impressed with the palatable qual- ity of Washington water, and was sur- prised when told that it came from the Potomac River. The tour of the city was made under the guidance of Capt. Hugh P. Oram, assistant Engineer Commissioner. The German delegation first visited the Dijs- trict Building and called upon Commis- sioner Proctor L. Dougherty. The visitors then called on President Hoover at the White House and made trips to numerous points of interest, including the Washington Monument, the National Zoological Park and the Smithsonian Institution. They left Washington last night for Detroit and will continue their trip to California. Ex-State Librarian Dies.

But in the new series Standard Eights, Packard has surpassed every previous achievement—and in addition has given even greater attention to the refinement of inci- dental comforts and conveniences. Engineering Improvements and Body Refinements Chief among the engineering ad- vances is the improved powerplant with its four-speed transmission and still further refined Packard straight-eight engine. Body refinements include the in- side, adjustable sun visors, adjust- able driver’s seat and steering gear, newly perfected shatter-proof glass, dash board lockers and new beau- ties in fixtures and upholstery— line. vide new brilliance formance = new achievements in luxury. features which appeal particularly to women. Eleven Luxurious Models, Roomy and Distinguished Eleven beautiful body types are included in the Standard Eight Prices at the factory range from $2375 for the popular Five- Passenger Sedan to $2775 for the Seven-Passenger Sedan-Limousine. Standard Eight models differ from the costlier Custom and De Luxe Packards only in size, power and degree of individuality available in color, upholstery and details of ap- pointment. In excellence of en- gineering and in expert craftsman- ship they are Packards through and tl.n-ough—fleet, smooth and luxu- rious. It Costs No More to Own a Packard Eight Two out of three motorists who buy Packard Standard Eights give up other makes of cars.: They costs no more. have found that Packard transportation Operation and maintenance ex- pense for a Packard Standard Eight is no greater than for many cars down to half its price. The higher first cost is completely offset by the fact that Packard cars are built for long life. They can be, and wswally are, according to ownership rec- ords, driven nearly twice as long as the lower-priced cars traded in. Net depreciation, therefore, is no greater.
