Earnshaw got off to a good start when he struck out two men, in- cluding Hornsby, in the first inning. Hack Wilson tripled in the sec- ond, but was unable to score, despite two infield outs.

Ramsay Macdonald, prime n.inister of Great Britain, is in what he called the city of his adoption today to receive the greetings of friends and to rest. Today he had a program of luncheons, teas, dinners and conferences. Tomor- row is his sixty-third birthday and he plans to spend it with friends anc “in quiet contemiplation botl of ‘the past and of the future.” There are no plans for Sunday, after which he will cross into Canada by way of Niagara Falls for a conference with Mackenzie King, Canadian premier. Calls Fill Forenoon. ‘The forenoon today was occupied with calls, one by a group of Socialist leaders, including Morris Hillquit, chairman of the Socialist national committee, and Norman Thomas, candidate for mayor. A deputation from the Jewish agency of Palestine also was expected. Mr. Macdonald will make his first speech of the day before 5,000 guests | at a luncheon at the Hotei Astor, ar- ranged by the English-Speaking Union, with the co-operation of three British socleties. Later he will address 2,000 members and guests of the Foreign Policy Asso- ciation at tea and a reception at the Commodore. At dinner he will be the guest of the couneil of foreign relations, from where the speeches will be broadcast through- out the United States and Canada and to_Great Britain, Mr. Macdonald arrived in New York yestr ‘ay from Washington after a stop in Philadelphia for luncheon. With his daughter Ishbel and his offi- cial party he was met at the Jersey City terminal of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad by Sir Harry Armstrong, British consul general at New York. A special ferryboat brought the party across _the to_the Twenty-third street ferry dock, where they were met by an escort of moter cycle police. Thousands Cheer Premier. A crowd at the ferry and thousands along the streets cheered the British premier as the motor cavalcade threaded its way up Fifth avenue through evening rush-hour traffic. expressed his satisfaction with the out- come of his conversations with Presi- dent Hoover, declaring that he was “going away content.” He also ex- pressed his delight in the response of the American people and the American press to the efforts he and the Presi- dent had made to arrive at an under- standing. “I am going away,” he said, “con- vinced that under the more genial at- mosphere which has thus been created there will be a satisfactory harvest of results.” P He mentioned his pleasure in re- turning to New York, where he landed from England on his historic mission. “I feel that I have returned to a city of adoption,” he said. “I have a family interest in New York now and I feel proud of it.” Some one suggested he might rest while here. “Rest?” he sald. “That is the first time since I landed in America that I have had such a thing suggested to me. I am glad to meet you, sir.” ‘T. W. Lamont, a partner in the banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co., entertained Mr. Macdonald at dinner last night. CANADA PLANS RECEPTION.

Report After Examination. JUSTICE HITZ TO GIVE ANSWER THIS AFTERNOON Former Secretary of Interior Re- ported to Be Suffering From Bronchial Pneumonia. Special Government coynsel in the prosecution of Albert B. Fall today | asked Justice William Hitz to declare a mistrial in the pending bribery case of the former Secretary of the Interior when the three impartial physicians asked by the court to- examine the elderly defendant reported that he could not continue with the trial without en- dangering his life. Justice Hitz reluctantly consented to reserve judgment until 3 o'clock this afternoon, when court will reconvene to hear his decision in the matter. His agreement to take the matter under ad- visement was given after Frank J. Hogan, chief defense counsel, made a dramatic plea to the court to give Fall his chance for “vindication” while he still lives. May Appear Monday. When court reconvened this morn- ing on the fifth day of the trial, Mr. Hogan said he had been advised by Dr. H. T. Safford, the defendant’s per- sonal physician, that while Mr. Fall was still ill, he thought perhaps he would be able to appear in court Mon- FARM BOARD GETS GROUP'S APPROVAL Only Three Members Opposed When Agriculture Commit- tee Takes Vote. day morning.

Mr. Hogan, speaking for the defense, urged that if Mr. Fall could possibly stand trial at this time, the case should be permitted to continue. “It will be far better for Mr. Fall to get this op- portunity cf a vindication now before he goes on,” Mr. Hogan told the court, in referring that Mr. Fall could not possibly stand trial during the cold weather a month or so hence. He ob- jected vigorously to any postponement or to a mistrial at this time. Justice Hitz appeared extremely reluctant to grant another recess until Monday under the circumstances. He pointed out that aside from the in- convenience of having the jury locked up until Monday, witnesses also would have to remain. He thereupon called Dr. Safford to the witness stand to ask him some Guestions about Mr. Fall's ability to attend the session on Monday. Dr. Safford, who came to Washing- ton with Mr. Fall from El Paso, said he could not state positively whether the defendant would be able to get out of bed on that day. He qualified his statement, however, by saying, “He might be able to come.” Susceptible to Cold. The defendant’s physician said that from his personal observation of Mr. Fall, the elderly patient is keenly susceptible to the slightest cold and with the approach of inclement weather in Washington, he expressed the fear that if the trial is postponed his patient would be more subject to continued illness. “Perhaps it would be better for him to take his chances now than cold weather.” When Mr. Fall left El Paso, Dr. Safford testified, that although he was in a weak condition he had no acute illness. / More positive evidence that Mr. Fall could not continue with the trial in his present condition was given by Dr. Leech, when the Washington physician was called upon to state the results of his examination. ~ With . John Thomas, a noted heart specialist, and Dr. W. D. Tewksbury, he had examined the defendant in compliance with the wishes of Justice Hitz. Testifying today, he said: cluded Mr. Fall was suffering from congestior. of the right lung and of (Continued on Page 2, Column 8.) 30 DROWN FROM BOAT.

JOSEPH EUGENE AGAN, —Star Staff Photo. STABS SELF, LEAPS bFLOORS T0 DEATH Newspaper Writer Cuts Throat and Wrists Before Making Fatal Plunge. Joseph Eugene Agan, 31-year-cld writer in the editorial department of the Pan-American Union, leaped to his death about 10:30 o'clock this morning from a sixth-floor window of the apart- ment house in which he lived at 1614 Seventeenth street, after first slashing his throat and both wrists with a razor blade and stabbing himself over the heart more than half a score of times with an ice pick.

Leaves Trail of Blood. ‘The young man, who is a secol lieutenant in the Army Reserve cur:c‘. apparently determined to kill himself about 10:30 o'clock this morning. His body bears evidence that he slashed both wrists and throat many times with a razor blade, probably, police point out, after repeated attempts to reach his heart with the ice pick had failed. His route from his apartment to the sixth-floor window, opening off an indoor fire escape, from which he Jumped, can plainly be traced by a trail of blood.

Authorities investigating the murder by strangulation of Marjorie O’Donnell, 23, today were inclined to discredit the theory that Dexter Dayton deliberate- ly laid the scene and then invited the girl into his room at the Roosevelt Hotel with the intention of destroying them both. Police, however, are checking up on the 25-year-old insurance salesman's statement that he bought heavy caliber revolver, found in the ml roum Wwhen the crime was uncovered early Wednesday, shortly after he came to ‘Washington eight months ago from Kansas City and before he met the “Basior has saia s quarrsl had yton said & ex- isted between himself and the girl for some weeks because she persistently had refused to become engaged to him, and that he asked her into the hotel room he secured Monday morning, under an assumed name, for the purpose of hav- ing an “understanding.” Trial Is Indicated. Although there is evidence that Day- ton took the gun and 50 cartridges into the room when he first engaged it, and left it there while he went out for Marjorie O'Donnell, the young man has insisted from the first that he habitually carried a gun, and that he planned nothing special in bringing it along on that occasion. ‘That Dayton will go to trial and not plead guilty, in the event he is indicted by the grand jury on the murder charge referred to that tribunal by a coroner’s Jury yesterday afternoon, was indicated when the law firm of Ring & Cobb was refained as defense counsel. his cell at the District Jail today Dayton referred newspaper men to his attorneys when questions were put to him, although he has discussed the case to a considerable extent since his arrest, both with police and reporters. The young prisoner, still the victim of remorse, has been noticeably shaken by events of the last few days. He spends his time in pacing his cell, smokes almost incessantly and has little or nothing to say to other inmates. His case probably will be presented to the grand jury by the district attorney’s office week after next, since a full pro- gram already has been prepared for the present jury. Eats With McPherson. Dayton had supper last night and breakfast this morning at long prison table reserved for second-floor inmates. Seated at the table was Rob- ert A. McPherson, jr., indicted in the death by strangulation of his wife, Vir- ginia. McPherson occuples a cell on the same floor and a few doors removed from that which Dayton shares with several prisoners. The body of Marjorie O’Donnell, whom Dayton has confessed to strang- ling, was placed on a train at the Union Station last night for Pittsburgh, the city of her birth. The dead girl’s sister Katherine, with whom she had lived at 1821 Sixteenth street, accom- panied the body. Another sister, Margaret, is under- ;tood to have remained in her college ere. After conferring for more than two hours with their client at the District Jail last night, Attorney Dan Ring de- clined to discuss the case this morn- ing, pointing out that Dayton still was too strongly affected, either by drink or the shock of his experience, to give a coherent account of what happened. Questioned as to who had retained the firm, Mr. Ring said a friend or (Continued on Page 2, Column 5.) BOYS CONFESS SLAYING. One 7 and Another 8 Admit They Killed 3-Year-0ld.

SENATE VOTES SWEEPING QUIZ INTO CHARGES OF “BUNGLING” New York Physician, Friend of Dead Girl, Voluntarily Appears to Render Possible Aid in Case. Sensational testimony by a physician that Mrs. Virginia Mc- Pherson’s body showed evidences of a skull fracture when it was found with a pajama cord around the neck at the Park Lane apart- ments September 14 has moved the Department of Justice to seek exhumation of the body, it was learned today. ‘While this development was stirring Federal investigating circles, the Senate voted to launch a sweeping inquiry into charges of a grand jury that the Police Department bungled its probe of the tragedy and that the District attorney’s office also mishandled the case. A professional opinion by Dr. Edward A. Gorman, house physician of the Park Lane, given to the Department of Justice yesterday, was directly responsible for the sudden decision to have another autopsy conducted. Just previously the department had indicated such a step was not contemplated. 3 Dr. Gorman, the first physician to view the body, pronounced the girl dead. Despite this he was not asked to testify in any of the preliminary local investigations until his name was brought into the case by The Star toward the close of the grand jury proceedings. 'Then he was summoned and gave important testimony. Doctor Friend Is Questioned. Meanwhile, Dr. Thomas F. Ballard of New York, former friend of Mrs. McPherson, voluntarily came to the Department of Justice today and was closeted with the investigators for several hours. Dr, Ballard once was attached to Gallinger Hospital, where Mrs. McPherson Dr. Gorman was the last witness to go before the grand jury, but a steady stream of witnesses already has succeeded him into the private offices of the Bureau of Investigation.
