WITNESS IN DREYFUS CASE ARRIVES HERE ! Former Chicago Broker Will Ap- pear Before Grand Jury on Monday. James E. Dowd, former Chicago | broker, arrived in Washington today to testify Monday before the grand jury, which has examined more than two- score witnesses in an investigation of | the death of Mrs. Aurelia Fischer | Dreyfus last October 20 at the Potomac Boat Club. Dowd was summoned at the sugges- | tion of relatives of Mrs. Dreyfus. He | fwas asked to appear Monday after a | conference today with Neil J. Burkin- shaw, assistant United States attorney. Relatives of Mrs. Dreyfus have con- (tended the young divorcee was killed because she “knew too much” about the murder several years ago of “Dot” /King in New York. Dowd is said to | have been a friend of both Mrs. Drey- 'fus and Edmund J. McBrien. who es- |corted Mrs. Dreyfus to the dance the night she met death. A verdict of accidental death was re- turned by a coroner’s jury which «delved into the case.

MECHANICS OF EXPRESSION STUDIED AT JOHNS HOPKINS Scientist Finds Origin of Mimetic Muscul-! ature Involves BY THOMAS R. HENRY. The face is the mirror of the mind— a fact well known to artists, actors, lovers and poker players. It speaks a wordless language, but a language which is almost infinitely varied and expressive in man. And like the gestures of the tongue which result in spoken words, the finely dif- ferentiated gestures of the facial muscles which express varying degrees of love, hate, fear and contentment are distinctive physiological accomplish- ments of humanity. ‘The extremely complicated mechanics of facial expression is being studied at the embryological laboratory of the Carnegie Inatitution of Washington at Johns Hopkins University by Dr. E. Huber. The specific problem of the origin and evolution of mimetic mus- culature involves not only the facial muscles themselves, but their nerve supply and the control center in the frontal lobe of the brain cortex. Study Made With Monkeys. Dr. Huber's studies have been made largely with monkeys, both by observa- tions of the facial expressions.of the living animals and dissections. In the lower forms, he finds, the primitive face muscles are practically restricted to those required for the movement of the mouth, ears and eyes. But s the observer goes up the monkey scale he finds differentiation of these muscles for finer movements grogrmlnz until in the higher forms there are definite expression muscles. Among the higher monkeys which | have hairless faces considerable mimic- | ing ability is found and among the anthropoid apes the range of expres- smré u‘we lmmt1 But theuTmhrg; poid’s fa expressions are still cru grimaces compared to those of man. ;l;hey do not express finer differentia- ions. There is a definite correlation, Dr. Huber found, between the evolution of these facial muscles and the trigem- them from the motor cortex of the brain, thus impelling them to action. Man’s facial muscles are controlled by| his brain and, Dr. Huber found from his dissections, it is the brain control | areas which are differentiated first, fol- lowed by the differentiation of the muscles and nerve fibers. Individuals differ decidedly in their power of vol- untary control of the facial muscles from the brain, he finds, probably ac- counting for the difference between good and poor actors. Expression Differs in Races, | Some races have general differences | in facial expression, from the supposed- | 1y highly mimetic face of the negro to the “poker” face of the Asiastic. This Dr. Huber attributes only in part to racial differences in masculature and character of the skin. It depends pri- | marily, he holds, on voluntary muscle control from the motor cortex. ‘The grimace, characteristic of the lower animals in expression of emotions, still occurs in man, and Dr. Huber considers it a return to the behavior of a lower order in the evolutionary scale in spontaneous emotional outbursts. It crude, group action of the mimetic muscles, he holds, in distinction to finely differentiated action of specific | muscles. In the same laboratory other scien- tists, using baby opposums as subjects, mechanics of an animal’s behavior be- fore it is born. All behavior presumbaly is due to the passage of nerve impuises from the various sensory organs over nerve fibers to the central nervous system where they are switched to other nerve fibers which activate muscles or glands. Now before a nerve fiber can function, it has been generally supposed, it must be cov- ered with a white sheath, or medulated, and much of this medulation takes place alter birth. As it proceeds more and more nerve pathways are able to function and the behavior becomes in- creasingly complex. “Educated” Before Birth. But nearly all higher animals, includ- ing human infants, come into the world with many medulated nerve fibers which make possible to reflex “be- havior” necessary for living, such as breathing and sucking. They have been “educated” before they are born. With the opossum it is different. This newly-born creature is simply an air-breathing embryo compared with | other mammals. None of its nerve| fibers are medulated. Yet, Dr. O. R.| Langworthy, who conducted the re- search, found that this prematurely- born creature is capable of many com: plicated acts, such as making its way into its mother’s pouch, sucking, con- tracting its forelegs and making side- to-side movements with its head. It does these things three or four weeks before the white sheath appears on the nerve tracts over which the nervous impulses must travel. After it outgrows the state of an inal nerve which carries impulses to T Nerves as Well as MUSCICS. practically the same way as those of other mammals, the nerve fibers be- coming medulated as they are needed to carry impulses for more and more complex behavior culminating in that of the adult. Dissection of young kit- tens showed the sheath developing as it was needed. The infant opossums, it is pointed out, may be an exception to the general rule that nerves cannot function until they are medulated. Generally, the study of opossums and kittens shows, the nerve fibers are med- ulated in the order of the development of the different senses in the evolution of the species. Fibers conveying im- pulses from the central nervous system to’ the glands and muscles apparently are able to function before those carry- ing sensory impulses from the outside, the fibers of the outgoing side of the spinal cord being supplied with sheaths before those of the incoming side. e AMBASSADOR MOORE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL R Recently Named Envoy to Poland, E: Suffers Lung Affection in Los Angeles. By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, February 15.—The condition of Alexander P. Moore, re- cently appointed Ambassador to Poland, IRADID PLEA ASKS NEW GIVIG UNITS W. E. Rabenhorst Argues for Free Field for Citizens’ Associations. Reasons why he believes the territory of any citizens' association in Wash- ington should be a free fleld for the development of a new association were discussed over station WMAL in a radio talk last night by Willlam E. Raben- horst of the Federation of Citizens’ Associations. 4 The question “Why a new citizens’ association?” s but an extension of the general question “Why a citizens' association?” ~ Mr. Rabenhorst pointed out, and many of the arguments in sup- port of ths latter question are appli- cable to the former, he said. Cites Example. “The formation of the Burroughs Citizens’ Association in Washington is but one example of the desirability of freedom in the forma- tion of new citizens' associations,” he declared. “There have been others in the past and will be others in the future.” Mr. Rabenhorst, who is a member of the Burroughs Association and likewise a member of the committee on high- ways, parks and waterways of the fed- eration, particularly stressed that large and growing communities are the po- tential flelds for the formation of new associations because of the development of new and sometimes conflicting interests. “If the territory is small enough so that all the members of the association can be accommodated in one meeting place, then the organization will be truly democratic and truly representa- tive of the community,” he said. Fears Control of Few. “If the territory is so large that the members of the association, or any con- siderable proportion of them, cannot all meet in one place, then the control of the organization may pass into the hands of the few, who, however altru- istic their motives, may not truly repre- sent the wishes of the majority of the members. Moreover, in such a large territory there may develop new inter- ests and conflicts of interest between different parts of the locality which can better be handled by more than one association, each representing a differ- ent section of what was formerly re- garded as one community.” SHIPPING NEWS Arrivals at and Sailings From New York.

MUSIC THIRD AMERICAN PROGRAM. ‘Works by two Americans comprised the third and final program this sea- son sponsored by the Sutro sisters, at the Carlton Hotel yesterday afternoon. The first half of the afternoon was devoted to works by the late Charles Griffes, one of America’s most tal- ented composers, who died before he reached the age of 30 years. The lat- ter part of the program was composed of works by Harold Morris, a young living composer, who shows consider- able talent. Mr. Morris appeared personally both as pianist and accompanist yesterday. He has a facile command of technique ‘asnd marked ability and gift as a plan- t. tiful and too-rarely heard piano com- positions of Griffes. They were “The White Peacock,” “The Night Winds" and “The Fountain of Aqua Paola.” Later Mr. Morris played three of his own works, a scherzo that was particu- larly charming and filled with inven- tiveness, a “Dolls’ Ballet,” which should be quite popular, and “Rondo,” from his first piano sonata. George Arthur Rogers, a tenor, pre- sented some of Griffes’ best known songs, all of them lovely. in his first | o group. They included “By a Lonely Forest Pathway,” “Symphony in Yel- ! B low,” “A Feast of the Lanterns” and “Time Was When I in Anguish Lay.” Griffes chose appropriate verses to set to music for these songs. The second group of songs was composed of works by Mr. Morris. “Love’s Philosophy” was an interesting concert number. The other two, “The Moon Lady” and “A Persian Love Song,” are more of the popular “catchy” type. ‘The opening number was a poem for flute and piano written by Griffes. It is a delightful bit of chamber music, with just enough intricacy of writing around its melodies to intrigue the ear and make the listener wish for an im- mediate second hearing, the better to catch its full significance. Maurice Sharp, flutist, blended his tones nicely with Mr. Morris’ piano par-. ‘The other, more ambitious, piece of writing presented, was Mr. Morris' own “Sonata for Violin and Piano,” in which he had Loris Gratke, a young violinist, as joint artist.

The District Commissioners today disapproved the Hartley bill to pro- vide a boxing commission to control amateur boxing exhibitions for which an admission fee is charged. They wrote Congress that there is “no large public_sentiment in favor of such a measure,” pointing out that colleges, universities and other societies now frequently hold amateur boxing exhibi- tions where no admission fee is charged. “The proponents of these various measures desire to charge admission fees in order to cover the expenses of carrying on such contests,” the Com- missioners wrote. “The Commissidners believe that if such contests are held for purely athletic purposes, the ex- penses could be borne from private funds or funds derived from other athletic events where there is no ques- tion involved as to puglistic en- counters. “To open the door to such exhibitions on the basis that they are amateur will, in the judgment of the Commissioners, lead to abuses even if regulated by a gzln‘vrml.sxlon such as is proposed in the “Washington, being the Capital City of the United States, should be free {from the possibility of disorder and criticism by reason of the holding of such contests as money-producing measures.” The Commissioners also upheld the | action of the Police Trial Board in dis- missing Pvt. Alexander W. Grinsel, third precinct, from the police force on a charge of gross neglect of duty. The specifications under the charge alleged that Grinsel, while on duty on Connecticut avenue December 23, went into an apartment on his beat and went to sleep. He was found there asleep by Capt. Willlam G. Stott. CHINESE APPOINTMENT GIVEN B. B. WALLACE Former Tariff Commission Employe Made Adviser to Nationalist Minister of Finance.

Columbia Chapter of | FLNS ARE SHOWN OF AFRGAN TRP Haardt, French Exploref.j Pictures Thrilling Auto Jour- | ney Across Continent. | The most ambitious exploration ex- peditien yet made by automobiles, which | traversed Africa diagonally. from the Northwestern corner of the continent to the Southeast, was pictured and de- scribed for members of the National Geographic Society last night at the | Washington Auditorium by Georges- Marie Haardt, leader of the Citroen Central African expedition. The trip, from its beginning at | Colomb-Bechar, Algeria, near the Med- | iterranean, to its conclusion in various | parts of South and Southeastern Africa, | was shown by selections from the 16| miles of motion picture film taken by the expedition. The showing of the films was accompanied by orchestral music composed in Prance from African themes recorded by a musician member of the expedition. The vrchestra was led by Leon Brusiloff, Guests of honor last evening were the Ambassador of France and Mme. Claudel. Used Caterpillar Autos, The expedition used 10 cars equipped with caterpillar drives instead "oxp'ifie usual rear wheels. Each car drew a trailer in which supplies and equipment were stored. At points along the route additional supplies had been laid down. With the experience gained from two African expeditions, Mr. Haardt is Elmnm! an even more ambitious trip y automobile caravan from Northern Africa across Asia to China. One of the most difficult stretches covered on the expedition was encount- ered in traversing the Tanezrouft Des- ert, was in the Western Sahara. This region of loose sands, wholly without vegetation or life, drew heavily on gaso- line and water, and supplies of both were nearly exhausted when the cara- van reached the oasis of Tessalit. For- ests of the Belgian Congo threatened to be an almost impassable obstacle, but Belgian officials had recruited 40,000 native laborers who opened a road 375 miles long. Much Game Encountered. After passing Lake Chad, in North Central Africa, the party encountered much game and side trips were made to hunt giraffes, antelopes, lions, ele- phants and hippos. When the region of the Great Lakes of Africa was reached the expedition was divided into four sections. One division went east to Mombassa, a sec- ond, south and then east to the coast; a third through Rhodesia and South Africa to Cape Town, while the fourth, led by Mr. Haardt, followed the chain of lakes south and then crossed Portu- guese Southeast Africa to Mozambique on the Indian Ocean. {DIVORCED ELOPERS OF 1921 REMARRIED Mrs. Inez Gibbs Sayles,After Second Wedding, Reported Bride Again of Leland Hayward.

Cecil, as Cassius; Hart Jenks, as Caesar, and Virginia Bronson, as Portia. There was not one hitch in the five-act presentation of the Chicago Civic Shakespeare Society’s interpre- tation of the famous play, and it was well received by a representative audi- ence. Only two opportunities remain for Washingtonians to enjoy the art of Mr. Leiber and his excellent cast. This afternoon “As You Like It” will be presented at the matinee performance and “Richard III” at the final per- formance tonight. At the matinee Mr. Leiber will play the role of Jacques, and in the evening he will appear as King Richard. Mr. Leiber, as in the role of Shylock, in “The Merchant of Venice” and others of the Shakespearean series pre- sented this week, meets the test in the difficult role of Antonius with admirable skill, especially during the fourth act in the capitol, the street before the capitol and the forum scenes.

DULUTH, Minn., February 15.—Two versions of the killing of Gust Henry Wirkkula by a United States customs patrolman last Summer were before a Federal court jury today as trial of the |officer, Emmet J. White, neared its close. | White testified that Wirkkula was at- | tempting to escape from White and E. | V. Servine, another customs employe, as | they sought to halt his automobile to |search it for contraband liquor on a | lonely road 25 miles south of the Ca- nadian border. White told the jury he fired four times, twice to scare the driver and twice at the rear tires of his automobile. 3 White had no_intention of inflicting injury when he fired, he testified in his _ trial on a charge of second degree mur- ° der, but he was unable to see the sights of the gun in the darkness and 26 to _ 36 buckshot from his gun struck the back of Wirkkula's car.
