RUSH COMPLETION OF CENSUS VAULT President’s Proclamation Brands as “Secret” All In- formation Gathered. By the Associated Press. | An immense vault, fireproof, is belnxl rushed to completion at the Census Bu- reau here to receive the 1930 census “secrets” which everybody will be tell- ing within the next 30 days. | “Strictly confidential” is the stamp placed by President’s proclamation on every item the people of these United | States may tell to the 120,000 census takers, who will start -circulation through city and countryside Wednes- | day morning. Any one of a possible 20,000 questions may be answered freely and frankly, be- cause all answers will be locked in the vault. | “There need be no fear that any dis- closure will be made regarding any in- dividual person or his affairs” Presi- dent Hoover's fifteenth decennial cen- sus proclamation read. He could make that assurance be- cause of the way the Census Bureau keeps secrets. The bureau itself is being housed, pending completion of a mew Department ot Commerce Building, in ! temporary war-time structures down on the Mall. The only fireproof structures of the lot are for the census schedules. Back to the very first census, 1790, the reports are kept under lock and key in steel cases within cement structures. These are guarded by caretakers who give them anti-moth and anti-mould treatments. Miss Mary C. Oursler, for 21 years in charge of records, would not permit even one peek at a 1910 vol- ume lying on a repair table. A census official explained schedules ‘were considered sealed for 50 or 60 years until they ceased to be personal and be- came geneological. Thus what you tell the census taker this year may come out again in about 1980 or 1990. The 1930 vault, now under construc- tion, is far larger than any heretofore built. It will recelve all original records just as soon as the first swift tabulation squeezes out the “human interest” and substitutes “cold statistics.” One trip through an amazing machine and each individual becomes an abstraction—just 0 many code perforations punched in a fece of cardboard, to be tabulated as K'grlu or illiterate, gainfully employed or unemployed, or whatever happens 10 ‘e in comp!

A forum on the feature story was held yesterday afternoon when Mrs. vx;wm ;:msw'zenwn, r?ture writer and con r to current magazines addressed the journalism class at Georgé ‘Washington University and led in the discussion the class of this subject. Describing the feature story so widely used in newspaper magazines as “facts presented in the form of fiction,” the material in which must be accurate, timely and interestingly written, Mrs. Stevenson discussed sources of material, manner of dealing with a feature sub- Ject, and the dally news as forming the nucleus of the feature article. She is grnup in the ranch of the National League of American Pen Women, and also is na- tional treasurer of the league. LAST RITES ARRANGED William 8. Stephenson to Be Buried in Mt. Zion Cemetery.

COL ASHFORD GIVEN KOBER CERTIFGATE Pioneer in Fight Against Hookworm Honored by Georgetown U. Explaining many of the death-dealing plants of the’ tropics, Col. Balley K. Ashford, Medical Corps, noted authority on tropical medicine and a pioneer in the fight against the “hookworm,” de- livered the 1930 Kober Foundation lec- ture last night in Gaston Hall, George- town University, before officers and members of the District Medical Society and others. - Only within the last 10 years has the medical profession viewed with suspi- clon the deadly menace of many strange plants in tropical climes, Col. Ashford said. His lecture dealt with the “sig- ce of mycology in tropical medi- At least one-third or one-half of the skin diseases, he explained, are of a mycological nature. At the conclusion of his lecture, which was illustrated with lantern slides, Dr. W. Coleman Nevils, S. J., president of Georgetown University, presented him with the Kober Foundation lecture cer- tificate awarded by the trustees of the universisy. Dr. George M. Kober, dean emeritus of the Georgetown Medical School, who vided for the foundation in 1923, troduced Col. Ashford and referred to his work in helping eradicate the hookworm in Porto Rico and the South- ern States of this country. Col. Ash- ford is professor of tropical medicine at Columbia University and also co- operates with the tropical medicine bu- reau of the University of Porto Rico. Yesterday was the eightieth birthday anniversary of Dr. Kober, and the vet- eran dean was presented with a bronze plaque bearing his likeness, a gift from the medical faculty of Georgetown. ‘The plaque was the work of Henry K. Bush-Brown, local sculptor. Dr. Kober, a native of Germany, came to this country in early youth and had a distinguished medical career in the AmL before beginping the practice of medicine in Washington about 50 years ago. He was dean of medicine at 27 years and for more than 40 years on its faculty before his recent retirement to become a regent of the university. Dr. Kober has been an active cru- sader against tuberculosis and formerly was lent of the District Medical Soclety. A few months ago he resigned : the District Board of Public Wel- lare.

WARD TAKES FUND FROM . U Withdrawal of $1,000,000 Reported Due to Dispute Over Instruction in Music. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 29.—The New York World today said Mrs. Justine B. Ward of Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., has wif drawn a $1,000,000 fund for & new school of liturgical music founded by her at the Catholic University, Wash- ington, D. C., because the works of composers later than Palestrina have been introduced in the school. Instead, the fund will be used in various schools that are interested in the Gregorian chant. Mrs. Ward, long known as a philanthropist in musical fields, les in the articles of in- corporation of the Dom Mocquereau Schola Cantorum Feundation, which sl:rplles funds for the new school, that “all modern vocal music for the church, including all composers since the time of Palestrina, is expressly excluded from the purposes of the organization.” In the controversy that developed, the World says, Mrs. Ward demanded that the Rev. Dr. William Des Longchamps, director of the school, reflr‘,w%n the Catholic University falled 1 fm- mediately upon her deman&Mrs. Ward decided to cut the school off the foundation fund. DR. DES LONGCHAMPS SILENT. Rev. Dr. Des Longchamps, director of the new School of Liturgical Music at the Catholic University, today refused to comment on the report that Mrs. Jus- tine B. Ward of Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., had withdrawn a $1,000,000 fund from the school because of disagreement over the type of music. All inquiries were directed to Mgr. James A. Ryan, president of Catholic University, who is out of the city over the week end. o WRECK AT PHILADELPHIA IS FATAL TO FIREMAN By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, March 29.— All traffic over the main line of the New York division of the Pennsylvania Rall- road was tied up early today as a re- sult of a freight wreck on the line ‘here last midnight. Rallroad officials said it would take all morning to clear the five tracks of debris. Passenger trains were rerouted over the Trenton branch and were ar- riving in this city 90 minutes to 2 hours late. Pireman Arthur Robinson died from injuries received in the crash, while Englneer John Hagan was critically u rt. The locomotive of the train, bound from New York to Wilmi n, Del, left the rails near Frankford Junction and overturned, VIRGINIA MINE BLAST WASHINGTO BYRD BARK DRIVES | DESPITE SQUALLS City of New York Logs 208 Miles in Day in Heavy - Seas. BY DR. FRANCIS D. COMAN. By Radio to The Star and the New York mes. ON BOARD THE CITY OF NEW YORK AT SEA, March 27.—With every, bit of canvas drawing, our . passage through the “roaring forties” promises to be a record for our old bark. Today at noon we were 805 miles out of Dunedin. Our position was lati- tude 40 degrees 44 minutes S., longi- tude 172 degrees 23 minutes W., about 245 miles from the Chatlain Islands. In spite of squalls and heavy seas, we made 208 miles in the preceding 24 hours. This is the best speed the ship has made on the present expedition. In & sense, the run of 372 miles for all of yesterday was notable, but Wed- nesday, March 26, on the calendar was 48 hours long for us, since on that day we crossed the 180th meridian, the date line to the East. As far as we could see, there was no special celebration, unless it were that on the second Wednesday, doubt- less in order to keep his weekly menu straight, George Tennant, our cook of Little America fame, gave us the same turnips and hyead pudding that had meekly looked up at us the day before. Our enthusiasm for this sort of life grows as we learn or regain familiarity with running of a square-rigged ship. But for some of us it is still a bit dif- flcult to be of much value aloft, es- pecially when the ship heels over and an uneasy feeling arises in the pit of the stomach. We all hope to be real “shellbacks” before long, when we get rid of the head colds and stomachaches we ac- quired ashore. ( . 1030, o O 0 e Bichaten.

JAMES DOUGLAS DUNDAS DIES AT THE AGE OF 58 James Douglas Dundas, 58 years old. native of this city and for a number of years engaged in the brokerage business in Philadelphia, died there yesterday. The body will be brought here Monday and funeral services will be conducted in St. Paul's Catholic Church, Fifteenth and V streets, Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Interment will be in Mount Olivet Cemetery. Mr. Dundas is survived by his widow, Mrs. Florencée Tybout Dundas; his mother, Mrs. Mary Pamela Dundes of this city; three brothers, John Marron Dundas, F. de Sales Dundas and Jo- seph Anthony Dundas, and two sisters Sister Mafy Oswald of the Sisters of Notre Dame and Mrs. Frances H Hodgson. Mr. Dundas was a son of the late Willlam Oswald Dundas and grandson of William H. Dundas, second Assistant Postmaster General, and of John Mar- ron, third Assistant Postmaster General under Presidents Pierce and Buchanan. He was widely known in this city, FEDERAL ATTORNEY REFUSES PAPERS AGAINST. HARMONS (Contigued From Pirst Page.) New York Times non-co-operation in liquor cases. Maj. Pratt read the account and called on Capt. Stott for an explanation. At the same time Maj. Pratt made it clear that he did not favor Capt. Stott's action in this case, pointing to a sec- tion of the District code referring to the offense of illegal entry, and saying Stott might have violated that section. Stott's answer as to the newspaper accounts, however, was to deny the im- puted criticism, coupled with the fact that the district attorney’s office agreed to prosecute the case, changed Pratt's view, and he declared himself satisfied and the incident closed. Maj. Pratt said that any doubt he had as to the legality of the entry of Stott was re- moved by the decision of Assistant United States Attorney David Hart to prosecute the case against the man ar- rested in the raid, Frank J. Smith. Mr. Hart said further that if Capt. Stott had asked him for a warrant for this particular place on “reasonable cause” only, he would have issued it. His records show, he stated, that on March 5 the same place was raided and that the same man, Smith, was arrested. This, coupled with the fact that the entrances were heavily bar- ricaded, would have been ample for issuing the warrant, Mr. Hart said. Mr. Hart sald that the case would be vigorously prosecuted to establish a definite precedent, but that he felt that it would probably be thrown out of court. Baltimore Man Is Robbed. Charles G. Glackin of Baltimore was robbed by a pickpocket last night of $55 in currency and two checks for more than $100, presumably by a stranger who jostled him as he made his way toward the door of a street car to alight at First and E streets southeast.

ECKENER TODAY Party Plans Laurel Stop to See Suggested Site for Terminal. Escorted by a delegation of repre- sentatives of Baltimore aeronautical or- ganizations, Dr. Huga Eckener, head of the German Zeppelin industry and com- mander of the Graf Zeppelin, left the National Capital by automobile at 9:10 o'clock this momlnT for Baltimore, where a testimonial luncheon was ar- ranged in his honor today. En route to Baltimore the party plan- ned a stop for a short time to inspect a site on the Baltimore pike near Laurel, Md., suggested as a possible terminal field for the proposed German- American transatlantic_dirigible ser.ice now being planned by Dr. Eckener and the Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation of Akron, Ohio. Dr. Eckener was accompanied by his son, Knut Eckener, and Comdr, Jerome Hunsacker, vice president of the dirigl- ble organization. The } Tty is to re- turn to this city by automoble tonight. Monday morning Dr. Eckener will leave Washington by automobile to inspect several suggested sites in Vir- ginia, going as far South as Richmond. He will lock over a 1,300-acre fleld at Hybla Valley, near Alexandria, Va., and will be escorted there by Howard Ober, Vice president of Washington Alr Ter- minals Corporation, owners of the area; Lawrence Willlams, chairman of the aviation committee of the Wash- ington Board of Trade, and Robert J. Cottrell, secretary of the board. Dr. Eckener will return to this city for a testimonial luncheon to bs given ‘Thursday in the Willard Hotel by the Aero Club of Washington Chapter of the National Aeronautic Association. HOOVER IS SQUARELY BACK OF DELEGATES TO NAVY CONFERENCE (Continued Prom First Page.) of naval arms and the preservation of the peace of the world.” One thing has been made clear by the American delegation in Londo: through its spokesman. That is th® United States will not enter into any treaty which can be construed as an obligation, moral or otherwise, to flkzi up arms if a conflict should arise be- tween European nations. Until some definite proposal of a treaty nearly for consultative purposes is put in more concrete form neither the President nor the delegation is expected to define their positions on the matter further, ‘While some of the older “irreconcil- ables” in the Senate, among them Sen- ator Borah, and some of the Democrats, including Senator Swanson of Virginia, have issued statements declaring their opposition to the negotiation by this country for a consultative pact, none knows with definiteness what kind of a proposal is to be made, if it is made. It appears certain that a large num- ber of the members of the Senate will rely upon the American delegation and President Hoover when it comes to pass- ing on any treaty that may come out of the Naval Conference. Some of them privately have already declared this to be a fact and have refused to join in public condemnation of the hypothetical consultative pact sugges- tion until they know what that sugges- tion may really be and what is to be the attitude of the American delegation and the President. Assurances Required. ‘The American delegation, it is be- lieved here, must be given some assur- ance that France and Italy will come into a five-power naval limitation treaty and that France will agree to a substantial reduction in the total ton- nage which she has so far demanded before the delegation considers a con- suitative pact. Should it become possible to bring about a five-power naval treaty, with real cuts in size of the navies, the view taken of a consultative pact, which does not commit the United States to take up arms or to me involved in every difference of opinion that may | arise in Europe, may be decidedly dif- ferent on this side of the Atlantic.

NEW SHEPARD WL DISELOSED N QU Major, Suspected of Poison- ing Wife, Leaves Property to Stenographer. By the Associated Press. DENVER, Colo., March 29.—The fin- ger of Federal suspicion today again pointed at Maj.- Charles A. Shepard, Army medical officer, as authorities in- vestigated an assertion that not only one, but two, of the surgeon’s wives died peculiarly while he “was enamored of another woman."” ‘While sheyl:xd was held in the county jail here, charged in a Federal war- rant with poisoning his second wife at Fort Riley, Kans,, last June, the dis- trict attorney's office at Topeka, Kans., :gln a probe of the death of his first e. Previously it had been alleged that the major poisoned his second wife be- cause of infatuation for Miss Grace Brapdon, 23-year-old stenographer at Brodks Field, San Antonlo, Tex. The new investigation resulted from a state- ment of James Childs of Needles, Calif., & brother of the surgeon’s first wife. The Army officer denied vigorously that there was anything mysterious about his first wife’s death. Another development in the major's difficulties was the announcement of Department of Justice officials here that a will bequeathing the majority of his property to Miss Brandon was in their possession. The Federal authorities said it was :lnn:;‘ after the second Mrs, Shepard’s leath. Rubber Co. Official ‘Resigns. NEW YORK, March 29 (#)—William O.

CLOSES DUE TO SHORTAGE Institution Patronized by Coolidges Has Sales Man- ager Arrested for Theft. By the Assoclated Press. N, Mass, March 29. —The Hampshire County Trust Co., suffering a shortage of approximately $285,000, closed its doors yesterday less than two weeks after Harold R. New- comb, manager of its savings depart- ment, was arrested charged with theft of its funds. Newcomb, who of nights was the leader of a popular jazz orchestra, was arrested on March 17, specifically charged with the theft of $15,000. He was held in defaul of $30,000 bail. The disclosure resulted in heavy with- drawals of deposits, developing to the proportions of a run which resulted in the State Banking Department taking over the bank’s affairs. An excited group of more than 100 persons, moved by rumors of a shortage, milled about the doors of the bank this morning snd it was necessary to (ébll several policemert to maintain or- er. Former President Calvin Coolidge and Mrs. Coclidge have accounts at the bank, but were not disturbed over the conditions at the institution. A state- ment from the office of the former President sald that Mr. and Mrs. Cool- idge had not withdrawn their money and felt that if was “perfectly safe.” Arthur Guy, State bank examiner, said the trust company has deposits of $600,000 in its commercial depart- ment and $1,575,000 in its savings de- partment, a capital of $150,000 and un- divided profits, including surety cov- erage of $312,000.
