11 =% THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, PINGHOT RETURNS | [_cors or oo connve s JUDGE W, | WOV IC COMING HERE AFTERONTHS I SOUTH SEALES Four Giant Sea Bats Among Thousands of Specimens Gathered for Science, WONDERS BEING SENT HERE FOR INSPECTIONE Former Governor's Exploration of | Romantic Cocos Island Is Thrilling Story. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. Former Gov. Gifford Pinchot of Penn- | cylvania is back in Washington after a | scientific collection expedition among the South Sea Islands, which lasted for seven months, during which he gathered thousands of specimens, the pick of which will come to the National Mu- seum here. | Included in the collection are fouri giant “sea bats,” one species probably new to science. These strange fish, some of which weigh more than a ton, are among the wierdest creatures of the sea, Mr. Pinchot says, and much sea legendry has been woven about them. They are frightsome-looking animals, which seem to “fly” through the water with their enormous wings. | which sometimes have a spread of 18 feet. They are greatly feared in the South Seas, says Mr. Pinchot, because of re- ports that they can leap from the water and come down on & small boat, crush- ing craft and men under the enormous weight. He never saw one rise from the sea, and the legend seems improb-| able because of the structure of the| animal. i Sea Bat a True Fish. The sea bat, or manta, Mr. Pinchot| says, is a true fish, with gills, which cannot live out of the water. It is a member of the skate family. and is somewhat like an enormous flat fish. Those captured by the Pinchot expedi- tion were harpooned with ordinary whale lances, putting up a desperate | fight. Mr. Pinchot was eager to study | the life habits of this wierd creature, but did not find a suitable location 5 until it was too late. The sea bat long has been a chalce' prize of sportsmen. Mr. Pinchot re- called yesterday that the late Theo- dore Roosevelt went to Florida to pur- sue an allied species, equipped with a “spade lance,” especially invented for manta hunting and so constructed that it would cut through the backbone of the creature. There were 27 persons on the expedi- tion, including three scientists and ‘members of the Pinchot family. It was undertaken to collect birds, porpoises. reptiles, fish and shells for the National Museum and the museum of the Phila- delphia Academy of Sciences. Through Canal to Cocos. After cruising about the Caribbean last Spring, the expedition went through the Panama Canal and made its first port at the romantic island of Cocos, 600 miles west of Panama, which is known in pirate lore as the supposed site of much buried treasure.

Besides securing tortoises and | suitation on the cases. iguanas, which were forwarded to the National Zoological Park here, they made as complete a collection as possi- ble of the fauna of the islands for the museum collections. Leaving the Galapagos. the expedition gailed westward for 3,200 miles to the Marquesas _Islands, an archipelago which Mr. Pinchot describes as one of the beauty spots of the world. Here they made especially complete collec- tions of birds and land shells, which probably include several species un-|5 knoéwn to science. This necessitated long trips into the interior. To Tuamotu Islands. From the Marquesas they proceeded to the Tuamotu Islands, coral atolls in the South Pacific, where the fauna is in complete contrast to that of the Marquesas and where particularly rich collections of shells were made. Here Mr. Pinchot found the waters filled with native pearl divers. From there they proceeded to Tahiti, the capital of French Oceania, where Mr. Pinchot and his immediate party left the ship Ind{ returned to the United States by steamer. He had intended to remain| with his craft and return by way, -f Easter Island, with its strange fauna| and its relics of a prehistoric civiliza- tion, but unavoidable delays forced him to abandon this plan. The ship containing the collections was repaired at Tahitl, and is expected to arrive at San Francisco early in January. Then the collections will be shipped to Washington, where they will be examined By scientists of the Smith- sonian Institution and National Mu- geum. who will have first call upon them. He must await the result of this examination, Mr. Pinchot says, before he knows what new material is con- tained in the collection. In charge of the scientific collecting were Dr. A. E. Fisher of the United States Biological Survey: Dr. Henry A Pilsbry, curator of the museum of the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences, lnd‘ Dr. Howard H. Cleves, naturalist and photographer. The former governor, all his life an enthusiastic naturalist, is entranced with the wonders of the South Seas, and said yesterday that he| 1s eager to return for a more intensive study of the colorful animal life which varies so greatly from that in the! Northern Hemisphere, l ASHURST CHIEF SPEAKER AT FLAG PRESENTATION | Senator's Address to Feature Cere-| monies at St. Joseph's Home Un- der K. of C. Auspices. Senator Henry F. Ashurst of Arizona will be the speaker tomorrow afternoon at a presentation ceremony to be held at St. Joseph’s Home, Twenty-sixth and Perry streets northeast, when the in- stitution will be given a flag and flag- pole by the Washington General As- sembly of the Fourth Degree, Knights of Columbus. The flag and pole is to be used in connection with patriotic exercises. Presentation of the gift will be made by J. Eugene Gallery, faithful navigator of the Fourth Degree. Right Rev. C. F. Thomas will deliver the presentation speech and William H. DeLacy will ac- cept the flag in behalf of St. Joseph's Home. Unless adverse weather conditions prevail the affair will take place out of doors. 1t is scheduled to get under way at 3 o'clock. Music will be furnished by the Elks' Band. Dr. Suraci describes the tularemia germ as one of the most contaglous ever encountered by the medical pro- fession, and says there is no known spe- cific cure for the disease other than constant care and attention to the out- ward manifestations, which, in the early stages of the disease, are similar to those of old-fashioned grippe or in- fluenza. The disease is far from being necessarily fatal, however, Dr. Suraci’s investigations have proved, only about per cent of the known cases of tularemia having resulted fatally. Hunted and Shot Rabbits. Mr. Nunnally is the proprietor of a lunchroom in the 2300 lock of M street. On November 15 he went out to nearby Virginia on a rabbit-hunting expedition. He killed a few rabbits, which were cleaned and dressed on the following day by Mrs. Nunnally. Mr. Nunnally went rabbit hunting agein on November 17, and again Mrs. Nunnal- ly cleaned the rabbits. He was to go again on November 22, but the previous day he developed a feeling of lassitude and ran a tempera- | ture. Believing himself to be the vic- time of grippe and nothing more, he kept his hunting date for the following day, and again went into the field in search of more rabbits. On his return he became conscious of a soft spot on his thumb, and at the same time ob- served red streaks running up his arm. About the same day his wife noticed similar symptoms. Dr. Suraci was called and after consultation with other physicians, diagnosed the cases as tularemia, even though blood tests were negative at the time. Three weeks have elapsed since the first infection was possible, and the blood test now being taken, Dr. Suract believes, will show positive traces of tularemia. Even if they are negative, he adds, he will continue to follow the medical prescription for tularemia treatment. Insect Infects Rabbits. Handling of rabbits or their flesh which contains the tularemia bacteria may result in infection, he says. Thorough cooking of the flesh of the rabbit will destroy the tularemia germ, however. 2 The germ is not native to rabbits, but is transmitted to them by a flea or fly which remains in rabbit fur and bites the animal. Tularemia has been more prevalent this year than at any other time, Dr. Suracia says, and ap- parently the number of infected rabbits is increasing. The course of the disease runs from | three weeks to several months, RITES FOR MRS. EVERETT. Funeral services for Mrs. Anna F. Everett, 74 years old, wife of John T. Everett, who died at her home, 3534 New Hampshire avenue, Wednesday, were held this afternoon at the resi- dence. Burial was in Rock Creek Cemetery. Mrs. Everett was a life-lon resident of Washington. She and M-. Everett had recently celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. o Cadets Are Appointed. ‘The President has appointed the fol- lowing as cadets-at-large at the Military Academy with a view to their admis- sion July 1, next: Bennet G.

Eddleman Absolved of Blame for Injury to Diplomat. A Police Court jury yesterday after- noon cleared George Herd Eddleman of a “hit-and-run” charge on which he was arrested November 1, three hours after an automebfle had run down and seriously injured Michael MacWhite, Minister of the Irish Free State, as he was walking across Du- pont Circle. ‘The jury was out about 30 minutes, following a hearing which occupied E&;fi of the day before Judge Isaac R. Eddleman, who lives at 2138 Califor- nia street, told the court his machine did not strike MacWhite. He said he stopped his car when his headlights re- vealed a man lying on the pavement in front of him, climbed from the ma- chine and administered first aid while another motorist made ready to run the injured man to the hospital. Eddleman said he left the scene only after MacWhite had been removed, and felt no necessity of identifying himself. In the confusion, he believes, the num- ber of his automobile was mistakenly furnished the investigating policeman by by-standers as that of the car which ran down MacWhite. The minister remained at Emergency Hospital for several weeks for treat- ment of several broken ribs and a severe scalp laceration. Eddleman was represented by At- torney Howard Brock. The defendant's statement was borne out by his wife, Mrs. Carolyn Eddleman, the only other occupant of the Eddleman car at the time of the accident. e OHIO FOOT BALL BOYS PAY PRESIDENT VISIT [ | “Eent Bear Cats,” Defeated First Time at Charlottesville. Va., Have Gloom Lifted. ‘The “Kent Bear Cats” of Kent, Ohio, the 100-pound foot ball champions of that State, whose members average 12 | years of age, were received by Presi- dent Hoover at the White House yes- terday and afterward had him pose with them for a photograph. ‘These youthful gridironers, after de- feating everything in sight during the foot ball season in their own State, bowed Thursday in Charlottesville, Va., to a heavier team. The gloom following the defeat was lifted, however, when the “Bear Cats” were greeted by the Chief Executive. The youngsters were presented to the President by Representative Sieberling and former Representative Davey. . HEBREW RELIEF LISTS INCREASED BY COLD United Society’s Total Cases in No- vember Involved 655 Individuals, Many Out of Work.

JUSTICE STAFFORD MAY BE NAMED SUCCESSOR Bar Association Committee Called to Consider New Member of Court. Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy of the District Supreme Court will be 70 years old tomorrow and will be eligible to lay aside his judicial duties and to retire on full pay for the rest of his life. No for- mal’ notification of the time of retire- ment has been announced by the chief Justice, but it is generally considered at the court house that he will make known his decision before the end of the month. Under the law he has the privilege of resigning his judicial position or of retiring. Should he retire, he is still clothed with judicial functions and may be recalled in an emergency to help out in the work of the court with his consent, or he may, if willing, hear some particular case in which counsel on both sides ask his services. Should he desire to resign, he loses his judicial status, but stil lis entitled to the salary of a chief justice for life. ‘The Bar Association has gone on rec- ord with a request to Attorney General Mitchell that the office of chief jus- tice be given to Justice Wendell P}\llllp&I Stafford, who has been on the bench nearly 25 years and is the ranking Re- publican member of the court. A com- mittee of the bar is engaged in can- vassing the list of eligibles for the vacancy should the chief justice resign or retire, and a meeting of this com- mittee is scheduled for next week. SIX STOLEN AUTOS FOUND IN ALLEY Detectives Inveltig‘ute Tip Result- ing From Suspicious Covering of Plates With Bags. ‘Tipped off by a friend that an auto- mobile, its license plates covered over with paper bags, had been abandoned for several days in an alley near North Capitol and M streets, Detective Sergt. F. M. Alligood of the auto squad Te- covered six stolen machines in the alley yesterday afternoon. The cars are owned by Thomas M. Marshall of 7023 Blair road northeast, Homer F. Fagan of 1506 Columbia road, Rex L. Root of 2575 Wisconsin avenue, George Lassise of 420 C street north- east, -Bertle E. Smith of 421 Eighth street and Bernard Werick of 1213 Orren street northeast. After receiving the call, Alligood went to the location, tore the bags from over the license plates and recognized the machine as one which was reported stolen several days 2go. Alligood im- mediately phoned for a truck to tow the car to police headquarters. Strolling throvth the alley, while waiting the arrival of the truck, the detactive dis- covered five other machines which had been reported stolen since November 21. No arrests were made, but Sergt. Alli- good has started an investigation. TWO FIREMEN BURNED WITH SULPHURIC ACID Bottle Breaks as Pair Attempt to Put It in Extinguisher at Engine House. ‘Two colored firemen attached to Engine Company No. 4 were painfully burned about the face and hands this morning, when a small bottle of sulphuric acid either broke or exploded as they were inserting it in a fire ex- tinguisher. The men were in the rear of the engine house at 470 Virginia avenue southwest when the accident occurred. Acting Sergt. George F. O'Brien, 35 years old, was the most seriously burned. He was holding the bottle, while Pvt. Walter T. Green, 32 years old, was assisting. O'Brien, who lives at 1323 Florida avenue, received a large quantity of acid across his eyes, face, chest and hands. Green. of 40 G street southwest. was burned about the face and hands. Other firemen rushed to the assistance of the pair and administered first aid, while a call was put in for Fire Rescue Squad No. 1. On arrival of the rescue squad the men were treated and re- moved in the squad's automobile to Emergency Hospital. Hospital attendants said this morning there is little danger of either man losing his eyesight, although O'Brien's burns are fairly extensive. SEASON IS OPENED BY SOUTHERN SOCIETY J.

The Burke Community Sunday schno; will give an oyster supper tonight in the Community Hall. D, D. C. LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM MAY BE - BEGUN NEXT WEEK {Free Text Book Bill Expected to Be First Before Senate Committee. MEETING DATE DEPENDS ON TARIFF DECISION Plan to Regulate Appearance of Private Buildings to Get Early Consideration. The Senate District committee may hold its first meeting of the regular session some time next week, Chairman Capper said today. If the meeting can be arranged, the committee probably will give first consideration to the free text book bill for the junior and senior high schools and the Shipstead bill to authorize the Fine Arts Commission to supervise the exterior design of private buildings facing the more important Government buildings and parks. Senator Capper said that whether the committee can begin its legislative pro- gram next week will depend on how early the Senate decides to meet on the tariff bill. It is unlikely that any District legislation can be acted on in the Senate until the tariff bill is dis- posed of, but if the committee meets it could report bills and have them placed on the calendar. ‘The proposal to regulate the appear- ance of private buildings surrounding the new Government structures was mentioned as desirable legislation by President Hoover in his message. Senator Capper expects to introduce next week the bill to provide for a new Center Market when the present one is torn down, but said he would wait until the views of local residents are ascer- tained on this question before having the committee take it up. CHINESE GETS LIFE (ONMURDER CHARGE Man and Praises Counsel for Defense. Life imprisonment was the penalty imposed today by Justice Peyton Gor- don in Criminal Division 1 on George Lee, 25-year-old Chinese, who was recently convicted of murder in the second degree in connection with the death of Lee Num Kate, another Chinese. Lee had been indicted for first de- gree murder on the claim of the Gov- ernment, through Assistant United States Attorney William H. Collins, that he had shot the dead man in the back and had fractured his skull with a laundry flatiron after Kate had de- nied his request for a $10 loan. Attorney Joseph D. Kelly, who with Attorney Cedric F. Johnson represented the accused, asked the court for leniency, explaining that his client was only 25 years old, was an alien in a strange his own race. Justice Gordon compli- mented the counsel for the defense for their conduct of the trial and declared that but for their excellent work the man would have been convicted of first degree murder. The jury had extended all the leniency which the court thought CABBAGE IS SAVIOR OF “HILL BILLIES” Virginia Mountain Hollow Folk Avert Pellegra With Vegetable. Cabbage, and plenty of it, is the only thing that has saved the “hill billles” of Virginia’s Blue Ridge, near the Presi- dent's fishing lodge, from a devastating pellagra plague, it was declared last ' night by Dr. R. Lyman Sexton, local physician, in telling an audience at the Y. M. C. A. of conditions he found | among isolated “squatters” in the near- | by_mountains. The dread nutritional disease affiict- ing mountaineers of other remote sec- tions has been spared the Virginia folk because they, wholly unwittingly, have injected necessary ~vitamins into an o'll1dfl‘wlse dangerous diet, Dr. Sexton said. Corn bread and salt pork, in addition to cabbage several times a week, con- stitute the diet of the inhabitants of almost inaccessible “hollows” near Sky- land, he explained, while the chief after-dinner “luxury” for children, as | well as grown-ups, is chewing tobacco. Dr. Sexton has spent several Sum- mers exploring the Virginia mountains and taking motion pictures of the mar- velous scenery and peculiar people en- countered during his wanderings. He illustrated his talk last night with movies of the much-discussed moun- taineer families of the Shenandoah National Park area. He also _showed interesting views of President Hoover's camp on the Rapidan. The physician is a_member of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club, whose members voluntarily are blazing a path !hrt])‘ugh the wilderness of the Virginia | ark. 2 It was during his trail-blazing hikes that he first came 1In contact with the mountain folk. He estimated there are from 500 to 1,000 of these natives “with no education, no religion and no hygienic habits.” He described and showed motion pictures of the cabins in which these people exist. Telling of plans of the Government to purchase the properties | mountaineers at prices ranging from 1 8100 to $300 a plot, Dr. Sexton forecast serious legal complications as to titles and economic problems involved in the “sudden acquisition of wealth” by fam- illes whose regular income per year ! might amount to $10. Court author- ities may be necessary to administer the funds. he declared. Dr. Sexton said Virginia was taking steps to remedy the conditions he de- scribed, and added there is much need for missionary work. 'OVERCOME B log | | Rescue Squad.

In 1923 and 1924 Pather Sohon was director of seismology at Fordham Uni- versity and is familiar with the Galitzin instruments with which the George- town observatory is equipped. These are the most delicate of all seismic equipment and require expert knowl- edge to handle. Father Sohon is a graduate of the Columbia University.
