SIXTEENTH STREET ZONING FIGHT MAY GO INTO COURT (Continue | against the “inconsistency” of the a: sessed value on his property. Harry Wardman, active builder of new homes, apartments and notels, sounded |a major argument against the residen- | tial zoning of the street, when he in- sisted that a builder could not afford | to pay big prices for the proparty on | the thoroughfare as sites for apart- ! ment houses.

Settlers’ Problems. Next came the problem of obtaining settlers. Cecilius Calvert had a vision {of a great colony of landed gentlemen with their tenants and servants. This continued in the mind of his successor, Charles Calvert, who actually estab- lished the Colony. It was not easy to persuade the disinherited Catholic cavalier to leave behind the luxuries of Europe for an unexplored wilderness. _ Perhaps the most remarkable paper in the collection is a 9,000-word letter from one Robert Winiours, who came out with the first settlers in 1633, de- scribing the opportunities of the new 'and for both landed proprietor and tenant. “Here” he sa “the tradesman overcharged with children may in_two or three years be able to provide abun- aantly for all by having large proper- ties of land allowed him for every one,” while in_England, he points out. “the serving man that hath with care and diligence out of vailes, gifts and chip- pings in a dozen vears' servitude raised a matter of 40 lbs. must needs comitt matrimoney with the chambermaid and the poor loving couple turned away for it with 20 shillings and a lame horse. Affairs Progress. Aflairs progressed smoothly for the new colony, the manuscripts reveal, un- til the coming of Penn. Dr. Young's papers contain the original letter from Charles the second to Charles Calvert notifying him of the grant to Penn and urging him to extend to the Quaker proprietor “all the offices of good neigh- borhood and amicable correspondence which might tend to the mutual ben- efit of the provinces under both pro- prietaries.” This was dated April 2, 1681. Lord Baltimore evidently wished to comply with the King's request. His first letter to Penn, dated January 24. 1682, assured the new proprietor that “My inclinations and intentions are to be kind to Mr. Penn.” and hoping “so he will be as well inclined and as ready to afford his kindness to me in those reasonable demands I shall make when wee meete next, not at all doubting that one meeting more will accomodate all matters to the satisfaction of both sides.” First Note of Discord. Between this letter and the next. something happened in the relations between the colonies which occasioned the first note of discord. “I will not faile to meet you the be- | inning of the next month.” he writes. | ‘where you shall be recd. with all kind: ness and respect. be silent as to some late proceedings which seem as yett more than ordinari- ly strange to your very true friend.” In the next letter he accused Penn of “having secret surveys made in my " and concludes, “I shall not be well at ease of mind until I have had the happinesse of discoursing this and some other passages wch concern your | honor and reputation, also your pre- fessions of friendship.” 5 The next vear Calvert writes Penn that while he is willing to make land concessions as a matter of friendship, he does not like the attitude he under- several others today appeared as result | of the investigations of the mutiny at | the Colorado State Penitentiary, which caused the death of seven prison guards and five prisoners.

Guards Were Marked. Officials have discovered there was method in the conspirators’ fire against certain guards. They picked out men they hated and marked them for death, and this in turn brought about an- other startling theory—that some of the guards themselves may have had a part he was already dead. Police Saw Publicity Stunt. From the first, the police had held the theory that Passal, a confirmed criminal, with a weirdly imaginative mind, staged his own burial in the for est near Verneuil on the Deauville r in an astonishing attempt to capitalize the ensuing notoriety by selling his memoirs as a crook. It 15 believed that it was Passal him- el who invented the story of the Knights of Themis,” an aristocratic band sworn to mete out horrible pun- ishment to criminals whom the law had punished too lightly. i It is held, likewise, that Passal, be- fore his disappearance, wrote the series of vivid, almost blood-curdling letters which " since September 20 have been mailed in relay: offices of the Havas Agency. ters were signed either by an interroga- ton mark or by the words “Chief, Knights of Themis.” “They described the supposed tortures to which the marquis had been subject- ed to force him to disclose the hiding place where reposed his fortune of fif- teen million francs and to force him to foreswear his criminal wa Even Thrown From Plane. The letters are extravagant in lan- guage throughout, going so far as to portray Passal being thrown from an airplane with a parachute designed to open only at the last moment. All these epistles were so fantas that they were not credited until it was too late to rescue the interred man and the police thought h> died through the over-success of his own ghastly scheme to prove his worth as “the Napoleon of the underworld.” Passal was found dead in a rough These let- to Le Matin and to the | i et coffin from lack of oxygen. which was to render to them more efficlent and adequate personal service.” Much of the present difficulty, Dr. Morgan says, is due to lack of under- standing by both physicians and public. The particular_problem of diagnosis, !now being studied in Washington, he | says, demands on the part of the pub- | lic a realization that, while the initial cost may seem excessive, medical cosis really are lessened, because the patient | is not called upon to pay for useless ex- perimental procedure. The local committee is preparing to pass the study over to the Medical So- | ciety of the District of Columbia, where it will have an official status. Views Are Outlined. Outlining_his views on the medical | cost_problem, Dr. Morgan said: | “The basis of effective treatment must Test upon a correct diagnosis. The type of treatment may vary with the in- dividual experience of the physician. The study necessary to evolve a correct diagnosis must always be more or less extensive and is often the major part of the cost of cure of disease. There can ! be no argument as to the basic neces- sity of starting any treatment from the result of the diagnostic endeavor. The development of the present methods of arriving at a diagnosis has been evolved through the single-minded purpose on the part of medical men to render more efliclent service to ther patients. But the laity have come some- what to recognize the difference be- tween knowledge based on profound study of the individual and a more su- i perficial method of treating discase with which in the past they were satisfied. “The public has not yet come fully to recognize the immense amount of unremunerative thought, study and ex- | perimentation which has been neces- | that we prove to them that we are able | i medical profession to voice with ever- “ConslderSHmBeIri Viveks | rather than | ceived by the physician for his bedside | ditions increasing vehemence the necessity for A more equable distribution of the financial burden of hospital mainte- nance. Where Expense Lies. “The chief point I wish to make is that a large part of the cost of caring for the sick is incident to the examina- tion necessary to make the diagnosis and to the hospitalization and nursing o the increased fee re- attendance. These fees have not in- creased even in proportion to the in- creased wage which the individual re- ceives for his work nor to the increased cost of living. Even so, the doctor voluntarily modifies his fee to meet the financial ability of the patient. How often the physician extends the time of payment even to many years or cancels the bills altogether. “The vital phase of the whole ques- tion, as it appears to me, is for the profession to disabuse the minds of the public that they are being exploited on the altar of newer methods: and sec- ondly, that the public should be led to a clearer understanding of all the facts that go to make up this very im- portant side of the social problem. Ultimate Understanding. “The public will ultimately come to realize that over a period of years their health budget will be less than under the old regime. We should make il clear to the laity that the present method of careful study and examina- tion often discovers pathological con- in their incipiency, when a permanent cure easily can be effected. thus in many cases preventing long and expensive illnesses. “The initial examination and diag-| | “He should consider himself lucky.” the constable continued, 2nd added in | regard to the shooting, “if he had not isl‘?pped 1 was going 1o shoot the tires Good | earlier | Willie, corroborated the storr told by his companion.

Duvall, in whose district the incident | occurred. and who recommended the ! appointment of Good, said last night the constable had an enviable record, and he was astounded to learn he had become involved “in that kind of a trap.” However, the commissioner de- clared he “did not have any patience with this thing of handling firearms premiscuously and endangering peace- iul peopie on the way home.” Commissioner Duvall said he would bring the matter before the commis- | sioners at their meeting next Tuesday. F. N. Acker, father of the law stu- the man himsel!, followed this pro- ire the suspect was In_ confidence of | | having this happinesse I shall till then | y. Direct charges were brought to the attention of the investigators that both James Pardue and Danny Daniels were members of a secret organization to which several of the guards were known to have belonged. “It is even possible,” said an official, ‘that some of the guns may have been smuggled in by friendly guards. Such a situation is amazing to contemplate and difficult to believe, but there are sort of whispers that must be run down t is difficult to get the truth from convicts.” Conspiracy Long Standing. The conspiracy, therefore. embraced a far wider field than was at first sup- posed. It dates back to the time se eral months ago when the entire peni- tentiary was nervous over reports that Danny Daniels, James Pardue and other desperate men had received “‘cannons’ which they had hidden under the con- crete near the bake shop At that time Warden Crawford had the entire penitentiary searched and put a force of men at work digging up the concrete in suspected spots. weapon was discoveged. That more thaR_the four convicts excluding Albert iforgarige, who had no part in the conspiracy, were in- volved in the sorry business is certain. It has been discovered that neither Pardue nor Daniels set fire to the build- ings or issued “orders’ to the other prisoners to set them ablaze. On the other hand, Daniels shouted to the con- | victs to “keep steady” and “dont be damned fools and try to burn us up.” | “If we've got to kick off, don't let's go like rats. Let's fight,” he yelled. In spite of his orders, however, he had no control over one group of prisoners, who proceeded to start fres. No Seven Guards Slain. « Seven guards, held as hostages by the convict leaders, were slaughtered and four other guards wounded before Daniels ended the mutiny early Friday by committing suicide. Stories told today by convicts and surviving guards indicated that few other prisoners were in sympathy with the mutiny plans, although no opposi- tion was placed in the way of the revolt leaders. Four revolvers, a rifle and half a dozen murderous-appearing knives were the weapons with which the mutineers insufficient to enter by the lead pipe 1n- serted in the box for that purpose. B=- side the body were some partly gnawed chocolate bars which, it is supposed, Passal took with him for food The tale of the Knights of Themis, as told in the letters, is too bizaire for police credence. It is not believed that the two held wished to kill the pseudo-marquis. but they nevertheless will be held responsi- ble for his death. The numerons Knights of Themis let- ters arc being read avidly in all their cadaverous detail bv all France. The writer tells, for instance, of the suffering of the man about to be buried alive and adds, “always his sinister laughter shattered the black n‘ght.” Poe himself hardly could have done better than that. The coffin in gvhich the marquis was buried alive n what may prove to be the world's most Macabre publicity hoax. was taken to Versailles today by the poliec to be held for evidence.

Necessary Increased Cost. “When the public fully understands this phase of ths question they will realize the necessary increased cost of making a diagnosis and will see that because of the correctness of the diag- nosis the treatment will frequently be of shorter duratian. and therefore the medical budget over a period of years will be appreciably lessened. As a re- sult the people will no longer be satis- fied with treatment based upon sub- Jective symptoms alone. “Before the introduction of labora tory methods, when the making of a diagnosis was wholly a bedside pro- cedure, the cost to the patient was sel- dom more than for a daily visit, or at! most a moderate consultation fee. With the assistance of the clinical | laboratory the physician is able to make an increasingly larger number of correct diagnoses and as an inevitable result the cost to the patient of that diagnosis is greaer. “Laboratories mean expensive equip- ment_which has to be continually re- newed.

It was not certain last night that the subcommittee will decide immediately | to go into tariff lobbies. The resolution joffered by Senator Caraway, Democrat, of Arkansas, and passed without debate, wes neither the immediate outgrowth | of the tariff bill, where lobbying has | been charged, or the Shortridge Senate | subcommittee now investigating the ac- | tivities of W. B. Shearer and the ship- builders. Senator Caraway introduced ia lobbyist registration bill originally | during the last session of Congress, and —— | it was held over into the special ses- | sion. The disclosures made that ship- | builders spent $143.000 in Washington | during the last regular session., how- drew attention to the dormant ay bill, and contributed to the investigation resolution offered by the Arkansas Senator, and which, it is be- lieved, will prepare its passage at the next regular session some time after December 4. Many Good Lobbies, Senator Caraway has anncunced that he is less interested in finding out | where the dollar came from than where it went. He believes that many lob- | bies are for good, but that they should come out into the open. Preparedness and peace lobbies. he suggests, very | properly come within the scope of his resolution. Senator Norris' announcement last night that all manner of organizations must show their books to the commit- tee indicates that the committee will first tackle the problem of ascertaining where the money came from and let the mystery of those who have received it come out automatically. In cases where the recipient is hidden the committee is prepared to do some deeper digging. Speaking in the Senate in support of his resolution on Monday. Senator Caraway pictured Washington as | swarming with lobbyists filching money | from the credulous,” and said that pub- i licity would do more to control lobl (ing than anything else. The Senator | believes that patriotic and women's or- ganizations are victims of professional iobbyists, who lead them to believe they can control legislation and then ap- propriate the money. Referring to the Shearer case, he said the shipbuilders who pooled a fee of around $50,000 for publicity should have guardians ap- pointed for them. | ever, Ca | Sunday School Attendance Perfect.
