Special Dispatch to The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va, November 20— Michael Caetto, alias Mike Ardezzone, 38 years old, charged with fatally shoot- ing Raymond Grover, November 11, was surrendered to Sheriff Eppa.Kirby of the county yesterday afternoon by his attorney. A short time later a coroner’s inquest, conducted by Dr. T. Marshall Jones of this city, found that Grover had come to his death as a result of blood poisoning caused by gunshot wounds inflicted by Caetto. Caetto is held at the Fairfax jail pending action of the grand jury. Grover died in the Alexandria Hos- pital Monday morning, after lingering & week. Mrs. Caetto, wife of the accused; Raymond Haynes, said to have been present just before the shooting took place; Dr. M. D. Delaney, who attended Grover, and several others testified. Mrs. Caetto stated at the inquest that she and her husband and Grover had taken a ride in Grover's automobile be- fore supper the night of the shooting, had eaten supper at Grover's place in Fairfax County, which is located near the Penn Daw Hotel several miles south of this city, and took another auto ride after supper, returning to Grover’s place. They prepared to leave about 11 o'clock in her husband’s car, she said, and she got in the car and after she did she heard some scuffiing and a shot was fired. She said she ran over to Grover and he said he was shot and that he had blood stains on his shirt. Grover collapsed and was rushed to the hospi- tal here by two neighbors, and Mrs. Caetto and her husband disappeared. Funeral services for Grover will be held tomorrow at 2 pm. from the fu- neral home at 809 Cameron street, and services will be conducted by Rev. Ry- land T. Dodge, pastor of the Baptist Temple. Interment will be in Bethel Cemetery. ELECTION DATE SET BY CAPITOL HEIGHTS By a Staft Correspondent of The Star. CAPITOL HEIGHTS, Md.,, November 20.—Designation of December 21 as the date for a ‘special election on a proposed amendment to the town charter con- cerning voters’ qualifications was made by the mayor and council in special ses- sion last night. The amendment will permit any one of age who has resided in the town over a year to vote regardless of whether he is” registered on the State or county books. This eliminates the necessity of declaring one’s intention to vote 12 months in advance. ‘The proposed amendment also gives the town authori- ties power to determine how a voter shall qualify or prove his residence. ‘The council awarded a contract for the paving of the south side of Central avenue between Sixty-first street and the bridge to the firm of Polyglase & Roth. The price was given at $821, work to begin immediately. Mayor ‘Thomas J. Luckett presided. To stop price-cutting competition in tableware, china manufacturers of Ger- many plan to limit production. FAMILY IMPORTANT SUBJECT REM unanimous choice for coughs - The first that Mrs. J. M. Sullivan of 8113 Hillcrest Ave., Cleveland, knew about REM was when her brother told her about it. It had ended a bad cough for him and he thought it would do as much for her. It did. And it went even further. As Mrs. Sullivan herself uts it: “My mother, father, usband and myself all get coughs at times during the winter, but the bottle of REM we keep in the house always relieves us and we wouldn’t be without it.” S)mFle coughs usually yield to a single bottle, and that is why REM is so economical, despite the fact that it contains a special ingredient too costly for on‘finl cough syrups. If REM doesn’t relieve you promptly, your drug- gist is authorized to return your money. What could be fairer than that? CENTER OF ATOMS SHIELDING EARTH FROM HEAT IS STUDIED Hitherto Ignored Link in Protective Belt Proves to Be Minute Nucleus of Great Absorptive Power. By the Assoclated Press. PRINCETON, N. J., Novemb#t 20— A hiterto ignored link in the protec- tive belt of atmosphere that shelters the earth from the intense radiation coming from space was reported to the National Academy of Sciences today by Robert A. Millikan, director of the California_Institute of Technology. This link is the nucleus, or center of atoms, something so minute it never has been seen. Dr. Millikan said it absorbs a sizable portion of the cosmic rags that come from all directions in space day and night. Cosmic rays are exceedingly short wave lengths of energy. They may be comprehended by comparison with X- rays, which are only about a millionth of an inch long, & brevity that enables them to penetrate opaque objects. Dr. Millikan said the longest cosmic rays appear to be about a third the length of X-rays and the shortest about one- forty-fift] It is a fact heretofore ignored in all theories,” he said, “that the nucleus | plgys an important role in the absorp- tion of cosmic rays.” The absorption was found with as- sistance of Dr. G. H. Cameron recently while remeasuring cosmic rays with very sensitive instruments, in mines, in water, n Pikes Peak and other moun- tains. They found that the shortest rays penetrate 500 feet into earth, more than twice the depth shown in their previous tes These new figures, said Dr. Millikan, are “checked beautifully” by the German physicist Regener, who finds the rays down to 700 feet. Dr. Milllkan believes they originate from energy turned loose by creation of mat- ter in cold, interstellar space. He said the shortest may come from creation of helium from hydrogen and the longest from creation of iron, A discovery about formation of crys- tals, remarkable because mathematical calculations gave the first clue to its existence, was reported in papers by Pritz Zwicky and Alexander Goetz of ” —_— Roll of Honor - STEINWAY DUO-ART The @@leber Grorge Steck the California Institute of Technology. Zwicky calcuiated and Goetz found tthe proof with a microscope. Atoms long have been known to form patterns in crystals, and the discovery reveals a secondary pattern -of blocks, produced by atoms packed more densely in some places than others, in lots of 50,000 to 10,000,000 each. This explains things not fully understood heretofore by metallurgists, including why atoms dis- solve under acid more freely from some places than others. A crystalline pepsin that can be made to digest more than 10,000,000 times its own weight in egg albumin in 24 hours was described by Dr. J. H. Northrup of the Rockefeller Institute. Its normal digestive rate is 50 times its weight in 24 hours. Dr. Northrup : obtained the tremendous jump by purs fying it. He found that a rise in tem- | perature of a fraction of a degree slows | the pepsin’s action so much that it takes a day longer to do its work. Sees Talkies Aiding Stage. NEW YORK, November 20 (#)-- Theresa Helburn, executive director of the Theater Guild, expects the talkies to improve the stage. She believes there will be fewer theaters, but better ones, playing to more discriminating audiences. The theater must cease to be a business; it must become either an art or nothing at all, she says. —— A Boy Scout troop has just been or- ganized at stald Oxford, England, and gnre knees are supplanting the Oxford ag.

Prisoners Reported to Total from 100 to 500. ‘The exact number of students ar- rested last year for demonstrations against the continued power of Presi- dent Juan Vincente Gomez, who had then exercised presidential powers for about 20 years, has never been made known. Gen. Gomez declined re-elec- tion this year, but accepted the post of commander-in-chief of the army. Reports of the numbers of ‘the stu dents held have ranged from 500. The in art were most serious in February and arch. Several persons were reported killed in the capital and violence was done in other cities. Later many protests were made to the government against the alleged forced labor on roads and other public works of the student prisoners, he movement never attained suffi- clent strength to threaten overthrow of the government, but it did stop entrance of tourists for a time.
