T2 w HATIMPORTERS - American Makers Object as Reorganized Tariff Group Holds First Hearing. By the Assoclated Press. The reorganized Tariff Commission, holding its first public hearing under the altered flexible provision of the 1930 tariff act, today heard representatives of straw hat importers ask for a de- crease of at least 50 per cent in pres- ent duties on this product. Entire Commission Present. All six members of the commission ‘were present as the hearingl opened be- fore a table piled high with straw hats of every type and in all stages of man- ufacture. It was the first of 14 hear- ings to be held by the commission on various products during the next two months. . George Wolf of Baltimore, repre- genting the straw hat group of the Hat Institute of America, told the commis- sion domestic manufacturers were will- ing to “rest the case” with the investi- tions conducted in recent weeks by commission’s investigators if the importers would do the same. J. G. Whitelaw of New York, repre- senting the National Council of Ameri- can Importers & Traders, Inc., declined to accept this invitation and asked re- lief for importers. Ttaly Represented at Meeting. ‘Whitelaw contended that under the present tariff rates on the higher-grade straw hats English, Swiss and Italian imports had decreased so drastically that the business of importers in this country was seriously threatened. He asked that either the specific duty of $3.50 on blocked or trimmed hats be eliminated, leaving only the 60 per cent ad valorem duty, or that both the spe- cific and ad valorem duty be decreased 50 _per cent. 2 %‘n-rd Krulwich of New York, aking for importers of lower-priced raw hats, contended that even a 50 m cent decrease in rates would not - foreign and domestic prices into e.

The desirability of building up a boy's resistance to bad habits was stressed by Walter MacPeek, education- al director of the District of Columbia Boy Scout Council, in an address at the Closing_session of the third annual Scout Leaders’ Conference in National Memorial Baptist Church last night. _ “We can build up a boy’s resistance mer against disloyalty by ‘vaceinating’ with experiences of loyalty,” Mac- Peek told the Scout leaders. “His re- sistance power against selfishness, rude- Tess, unkindness, coarseness and waste- fulness can be developed.” In explaining that young people do mot want or need the softness of an easy life, he spoke of the readiness with ‘which young people enter into such hardships and dangers. GEN. KENNEDY’S ESTATE VALUED AT $287,724.94 Application for Probate of Will Discloses Widow Is Given Life Interest Under Trust. Brig. Gen. James M. Kennedy, who died at San Francisco October 15, left an estate valued at $287,724.94, accord- ing to the petition of the Riggs National Bank, his executor, for the probate of his will, through Attorney Frank J. Hogan. Gen. Kennedy had a life in- surance policy of $35,000, payable to his estate, and also had personal prop- erty estimated at $252,724.94. He owned no real estate. According to the terms of the will, the widow, Mrs. Mary B. Kennedy of San Francisco, is to have the household effects and the remaining estate ir to be held in trust by tie Riggs National Bank during her life. The trustee is directed to pay the widow one-halt of the income, not to be less than $6.00 * annually, and to distribute the remain- ing income to the children—Katherine K. Kean, Staten Island, N.

FARM MAKES GOOD JUAB, Utah (N.AN.A).—Old “Per- Farm,” in Juab County, Utah, has 7 t celebrated its fiftieth anniversary, THE EVENING STUDY OF CAREER IN MEDICIN IS COMPLETED BY GOVERNMENT L WANI I]UIY [}UI Tendency to Specialize, Educatio;xal'Costs and Possible Salaries Are Indicated in Survey of Walter J Greenleaf. BY REX COLLIER. Uncle Sam has found that the small- town physician, “intrusted with the re- sponsibilities of life and death,” and forced to endure “tedious days and broken rest,” may expect as recompense $2,000 or more up to $5,000 annually. With “success and ambition,” however, physicians should be able to increase their annual income to sums from $5,000 to $8,000. Medical Career Is Studied. A specialist with 5 or 10 years of ex- perience, moreover, may earn from $8,000 to $30,000 a year. These are the findings of Walter J. Greenleaf, associate specialist in higher education of the United States Office of Education, Department of the Interior, who has completed an exhaustive study of “medicine as a career” for the benefit of medical students. The tendency among general prac- titioners to “specialize” is pronounced, Mr. Greenleaf found, and as a result competition among specialists is keen in the larger cities. Pointing out that the aims of medical education are “healing, prevention of disease, promotion of positive health and research,” the Government official declared: “A doctor is intrusted with the re- sponsibilities of life and death. He must have patience and perseverance, be | a keen observer and be able physically to endure intensive study, tedious days and broken rest. His ambition should be to care for the sick and injured, and he will give freely of his time and en- ergy- to alleviate human suffering.” Doctors Tend to Specialize. Among the most important fields for specializing, Mr. Greenleaf stated, are dermatology, gvnecology, neurology, ob- stetrics, opthalmology, otolaryngology, orthopedrics, pediatrics, psychiatry, ro- entgenology, surgery and urology. The opportunity for specializing is great in the large cities, while the coun- try “offers an especially good oppor- tunity for experience in general prac- tice,” he said. A wide field of service lies before the medical graduate, in addition to pri- vate practice, the educator asserted. The graduate may indulge in medical research, teach in medical schools, be- come a public health official in cities, counties, States or the Federal service; serve as medical officer in the Army or Navy, enter the employ of an industrial concern or insurance company, fill posi- tions in laboratories, hospitals or cor- porations, or become a medical mis- sionary. Salaried positions in laboratories, hospitals and the Government services average from $1,500 to $5,000 a year, Mr. Greenleaf said, although “a few commissioners of health receive $8,000 to $10,000 or more for their services.” Gaining a medical education usually is more costly than studying for any other profession, it was declared, and more time is required to complete the course of training. “The two-year premedical require- ment adds materially to the total cost,” Mr. Greenleaf’s report explained. “While expenses may be reduced in many in- stances by scholarships, personal econ- omy, assistantships and self-help, a student should provide at least $1,000 annually for a medical education. “Tuition and fees average $305 in the medical schools for the first year. Fif- teen years ago the majority of medical school charged about $145 for tuition and fees, increasing in 1920 to $180 and in 1925 to $250. In the State univer- sities charges for a medical education are held at a minimum, especially for residents of the State in which tne uni- versity is located.” The lowest rate, he said, is in North Dakota, where only $65 for tuition and fees is charged State residents by the North Dakota Medical School. The highest rate is charged at Johns Hop- kins University School of Medicine, where a student must pay $610 an- nually. The tuition and fees of a medical education in the District of Columbia vary from $265 to $422 a year. Budget Is Itemized. ‘The annual expense estimate of $1,000 includes $305 for tuition, $50 for books, $50 for instruments, $270 for board, $135 for room rent, $36 for laundry and $154 for incidentals. “A fair estimate for meals” it was pointed out, “is $1 a day. While this varies in different sections, an econom- ical student should find board for $30 per month or $270 per college year. Rooms can be obtained for 50 cents a day—$15 per month or $135 per college year—and sometimes less. Laundry will average $1 a week or $36 per yeéar, un- less it is sent home via parcel post. Incidentals include travel, clothing, or- ganizations and sundries and must be limited to $154 if expenses are lo be kept within the $1,000 limit.” . ‘There are 76 medical schools operat- ing in the United States with the ap- proval of the Council on Medical Edu- cation and Hospitals, a committee of the American Medical Association, the department said. Two or more years of pre-medical training in arts and sci- ences are required in these schools, and 13 of them require three years of ad. vance training. Two require a college degree for entrance in medical school. Four years’ training is required in the medical sciences, and an additional year or more of hospital interneship is “cus- tomary, not required,” making the aver- age usual time consumed beyond high school at least seven years. Enroliments Made Public. The total number of medical students in the United States last year was 21,- 597, of which 955 were women. ‘The University of Michigan had the largest number of any institution, with a total of 594 men and 45 women. Jef- ferson Medical College, Philadelphia, ‘was next, with 586 students, all men. Enrollments in local schools were: Georgetown University School of Medi- cine, 515; George Washington Univer- sity Medical School, 279, and Howard University School of Medicine, 241. NOT-GUILTY PLEA Former Orphanage Treasur-| er’s Move..to. Quash Em- bezzlement Charge Fails. By the Assoclated Press. RICHMOND, Va., October 28.—After an unsuccessful effort to quash the in- | dictment, James P. Jones, former treas- | urer of the Virginia Methodist Orphan- | age, pleaded not guilty today to em- | bezzlement of $37,000 of the institu- | tion's funds. Impanelling of a jury | began immediately. Alfred Kirsch, chief of defense coun- sel, filed four motions as the court opened, but Judge John L. Ingram | overruled all except a motion to require | the commonwealth to specify the | statute under which the charge was | brought. ‘The motion to quash the indictment was based on alleged omission of es- sentials which Kirsch said made the indictment invalid and illegal under Virginia law. A demurrer was filed on the same | ground. The defense also sought to re- quire the commonwealth to specify which of 13 alleged embezZlements I'oulld be charged against Jones in the trial. All defense witnesses, which include many prominent citizens sumr-oned as character witnesses, were excused until tomorrow with the exception of J. M. Culbreth, accountant employed by Jones to check the orphanage books. CONTRACTOR FATALLY | STRICKEN IN HOTEL Dallas W. Riddell Came Here to Submit Bids on House Office Building. Dallas W. Riddell, secretary-treasurer of the Powell-Riddell Co., construction contractors of Philadelphia, of which firm he was a member, died of an acute heart attack shortly before noon today in his suite in the Willard Hotel. A business associate of Mr. Rid- dell's summoned the rescue squad, but firemen abandoned their efforts to re- vive Mr. Riddell after working over him for about 20 minutes. Mr. Riddell had come to Washington | o submit bids for construction work on | the projected House Office Building. He became il early this morning while working over some estimates, and a doctor was summoned. The physician treated Mr. Riddell for a stomach ail- ment and advised him to rest for awhile.

CHICAGO, October 28.-—A special dispatch to the Chicago Tribune from Galva today said that the family of Earl L. Yocum, missing banker, had agreed to pay ransom, reported to be $50,000, to a gang of men who ab- ducted him. In Hands of Wife. GALVA, Ill, October 28 (#).—The fate of Earl Yocum, kidnaped banker, rested today in the hands of his wife. The banker’s wife announced that she had called off all outside help in the search for her husband, who disap- peared Saturday, and that she was “handling the matter herself.” She termed speculation that her husband was held in Chicago for $50,000 as “all guess work” and added that no one, ex- cept herself, had any knowledge of the supposed ransom demand. Meawnhile, county authorities abandoned their hunt for the missing man when Mrs. Yocum declined to take them into her confidence. ; ‘Two special delivery letters have been received by Mrs. Yocum, one from Ke- wanee, Il1, and the other from Chicago. Both are reported to have dealt with the ransom question. iewed With Apprehension. The apparent anxiety of the Yocum family to drop the investigation was viewed with apprehension by officers of the Illinois Bankers' Association. They expressed belief that if an extortion gang obtained ‘“easy money” from Yocum other small town bankers would become the constant prey of kidnap- ers. “With no co-operation from Mrs. Yocum we can do little now,” A. P. Sherwood of Chicago, secretary of the Bankers’ Association, was quoted as say- ing, adding that “just as soon as Yocum 1s released we are going into action.” The criminal department of the asso- clation revealed at the same time that 1t has been conducting a quiet investi- ation of the recent kidnapings of Wil- m Urban and Frank Daugherty, both of Peoria, and of a Des Moines, Iowa, cigar store owner, ROBERT DOW NING, ACTOR, TO PREACH AT MISSION Tragedian Who Returned to Stage Last Year, After Two Decades in Pulpit, Here for 4 Nights.

DRY ISSUE- HARD FOR CRIME BODY Law Enforcement Commis- sion Tries to Keep Open Mind Upon Subject. By the Assoclated Press., ‘The variance of conditions prevailing under the prohibition law in different sections of the country is proving a problem to President Hoover's Law En- forcement Commission. Not only do the multitudinous pro- hibition reports now in the hands of the 10 men and 1 woman on the commis- sion show varying results in scattered sections of the Nation but they reveal fluctuating conditions in the same lo- calities, Despite the problems besetting them, however, there is evident a determina- tion within the ranks of the commis- sion members to get the job of reach- ing & decision on the prohibition ques- tion over with as early as possible. There is every expectation here that the re- port—or' reports—will be ready for con- sideration by President Hoover and Congress before the end of the year. ‘The marked fluctuations are among the surprises encountered in the com- mission’s long invesfigation. Some of the members concede privately that their views on prohibition conditions have changed, although none says whether this change has been for or against the 10-year-old dry law. The members are spending their re- cess period digesting these prohibition reports. The reports are so voluminous that the index alone consumes 146 type- written pages. On November 5, the day after the congressional election, the commission reassembles and the adop- tion of a report cn prohibition is the order of business. f the commission has a_ common mind on hibition there has been no suggestion of it. There is an ob- vious effort on the part of the group to keep open minds pending the forth- cfmlnz liscussions in executive ses- sion. Chairman George W.

He is ex- pected to take the lead when the task of drafting a report is attempted. $10,842 IS SPENT BY MRS.

ROYAL NEWLYWEDS BATTLE WITH GALE Heavy Storm in Adriatic Causes Anxiety for Czar ‘Boris and Bride. By the Associated Press. ATHENS, Greece, October 28.—The Bulgarian royal yacht, Czar Ferdinand, with the royal newlyweds, King Boris and his Queen, Giovanna, aboard, ap- peared at noon today to have won & battle with a violent gale which made their crossing of the Adriatic from Brindisi most difficult and dangerous, Couplé May Take Train. After hours during which, because of atmospheric interference, the yacht was out of touch with the world, she radioed that she was off Patras, at the entrance to the Gulf of Corinth, and expected to pass through the Corinth Canal shortly after 3 pm. Some anxiety had been felt for the ship, both because of absence of reports from her and as a consequence of violence of the storm, which drove many small boats to shelter. ‘ Although the sea was reported more calm at madday there was a possibility that the royal couple might proceed to Varna by train. If they were coming by sea they would go either to Bourgas or Varna, Turkey Offers Hospitality. Premier Liaptcheff of Bulgaria was understood to have stated the marriage ceremony at Sofia would take place 10 o'clock on the morning of Thursday, October 30, and would resemble more closely the orthodox marriage form than & simple benediction. Learning of distress of the Bulgarian vessel, the Turkish government asked by radio if the King and Queen wished to avail themselves of its hospitality at Istanbul when the yacht arrives there, resting and proceeding to Sofia by spe- cial train. Mustapha Kemal Pasha, President of Turkey, will welcome personally the couple at Istanbul if they decide to accept his invitation. In view of Black Sea reports of vio- lent gales raging there, it was con- sidered probable that the two might make for the Piraeus, Port of Athens, and travel by train to Istanbul, or for Istanbul and take a train from there for Sofia. New Queen Is Praised. This arrangement would bring them to this capital later than October 30, the day set for registration of their marriage here, and would upset serious- 1y governmeni arrangements. ‘The Bulgarian envoys to the wedding Saturday at Assisi returned here today. Premier Liaptcheff, one of the envoys, said that he was delighted with the warm welcome given by the Italian authorities. He praised the new Queen, who, he said, would love the Bulgarian peeple, of whom she was very proud. COL. RICHARDSON DEAD Former Commander of 322d Infan- try Had Notable Career. Col. Lorrain T.

GAS AND AUTO TAX BOOST CONSIDERED Board of Trade Groups Will Hold Joint Meeting to Study Question. The question of boosting gasoline tax rates and automobile registration fees in the District, as proposed by the Traffic Advisory Council, shortly will | be taken up at an extraordinary session |of three important committees of the Washington Board of Trade, it was de- cided at a meeting of the Traffic Com- mittee of the board late yesterday.

On motion of George W. Offutt, for- mer chairman of the committee, the group voted to call a joint meeting of the three committees in the near fu- ture to study the many phases of the intricate problem in order that a just verdict in the matter might be reached. Although not specified in the list of reasons given by the subcommittee of the Traffic Advisory Council for in- creasing the tax rates, Mr. Offutt brought out that Capt. Herbert C. Whitehurst, chief engineer of the High- way Department, was the original ad- vocate of the tax and registration fee increases as a method of financing a five-year road-building and improve- ment plan which he has proposed. Whitehurst and Jose Summoned. Capt. Whitehurst, together with Ru- dolph Jose, chairman of the subcom- mittee which drew up the list of rec- ommendations adopted by the Traffic Advisory Council, will be asked to ap- pear before the tri-committee meeting. The questions of taxation and fiscal relations also were drawn into the dis- cussion yesterday, with the result that the committee having these questions in charge will be asked to confer with the traffic and highways groups.

Shrinkage of personal incomes ac- counted almost entirely for the nearly $150,000,000 decrease in income tax col- lections for the first nine months of 1930. A Treasury analysis of the collections so far this year showed collections from individual returns were $132,972,000 be- low those for the first nine months of 1929, while corporations’ taxes declined only $15,314,000.

(Continued From Pirst Page.) all of Northeastern Brazil, with the small army, augmented by volunteers, with which he left the state of Parahyba three weeks ago to capture Pernambuco. He is expected in Rio de Janeiro soon to participate in formation of a new government. His attitude has caused some nervousness here, where a _previ- ous political enmity with Dr. Vargas is recalled. Penetration of the revolutionary troops of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro also is causing some nervousness, particularly in Sao Paulo, where the deposed gov- ernment spread reports that revolu- tionary troops had béen promised an opportunity to sack and loot the city as inducement to join the rebellion. It is felt that some clashes are inevitable. Dr. Julio Prestes, the erstwhile Presi- dent-elect, has been granted asylum in the residence of the British consul gen- eral at Sao Paulo and has gone there. The residence is kept under heavy guard. Dr. Washington Luis is still a prisoner in the quarters of the officers at Fort Copocabana, on . Atlantic shore of Rio de Janeiro, Junta Statement Hailed. ‘The arrival last night of Dr. Aranha cleared the situation greatly, while the military junta’s statement yesterday— that it merely was a temporary agent, ;eerv!mg u;:t_u a new government could ormed—was received by the press with enthusiasm. 4 Much space was given to the fact that Getulio Vargas probably would head the new government. While Vargas has not yet arrived here, he is making preparations to come and has ordered a special train made ready to take him to Sao Paulo and then to the federal capital. It is un- derstood he will be accompanied by Gaucho cavalrymen, 20,000 of whom are reported marching on Sao Paulo. When Dr. Aranha reached the capi- tal from Rio Grande do Sul he was ac- companied by Lindolfo Collor, who rep- resented the revolutionary forces in Buenos Aires during the three-week genesis of the planned revolt. Collor explained the revolution, saying it first was for the end of August. The govern- ment ln‘med of the plans and the movement was postponed until tem- ber 6. ‘Again the government ev"fi in- formed and the new date was fixed as September 20, with these plans leak- mg{ ou:d :llsa e led that the final revolt, be- ginning October 3, was successful be- cause the governmemt was caught un- awares, believing that after three post- ponements another atf [ attempt would not SAO PAULO IS OCCUPIED, * Thousands of Cowboy Rebel Troops Arriving in City.

PERNAMBUCO, Brazil, October 28 ().—The Brazilian insurgents’ four- cornered fight for control of the gov- ernment, left without a head by deposi- tion of Dr. Washin Luls, was be- lieved here today to have been settled finally with selection of Dr. Getulio Vargas to lead the new regime. Advices from Rio de Janeiro indi- cated that the situation created by rival political antagonisms of the mili- tary junta which ousted Dr. Wash- ington Luis as president, Dr. Vargas, leader of the Southern Revolutionary Army, insurgent elements in Minas Geraes, and Capt. Juarez Tavora, lead- er of the Northern Revolutionary Army, had been entirely cleared up. Capt. Juarez received a telegram from the chief of the general staff stating, “Gen. Fragoso (head of the military junta) has invited Dr. Vargas to as- , hos! suspen immediately.” o Any Solution Acceptable. Previously the president of Rio Grande do Sul (presumably Dr. Osvaldo Affnha, president pro tem.) had tele- graphed the northern leader to continue his march beyond Bahia, where he is now located, if he felt it necessary. Capt. Juarez is understood here to have indicated to friends his willingness to accept whatever solution of the situ- ation that may be worked out at Rio de Janeiro, choosing, despite a consid- erable popularity in the north, to sub- ordinate his own political aspirations for the present. In a me to Mauricio Lacerda, Liberal deputy, he said that he favored a transitory dictatorship to allow avoid- ance of precedent, which might hamper “hygienization and moralization” of judicial and administrative policies. He believes also that it is the duty of military men to refuse posts in the new government in order to be in a position to_veto with' “moral” forte names of politicians believed incapable of carry- ing out aspirations of the revolutionists.

Sir William Jowitt, attorney general, in making the opening statement of the inquiry, outlined the manner in which evidence was to be presented the spe- clal court, stressing his conviction that the one essential was that every possible factor which could throw light on the tragic happening would be brought out not only for inquirers but for the public, “You must never forget,” he said, “that this flight Which you are investi- gating was in every sense of the word ms‘exp';r‘}ll':‘rnuslufllum.“ r m id that he proposed read in court material PI&MP‘Q! tmm‘: secret report on the airship's design which the late Lord Thomson, minister for air, who was one of the victims ef the disaster to the ship, to place before the imperial conference, While referring to previous disasters Sir Willlam had his attention called by Sir John Simon, the chairman of the {2‘3."21';,;? use nsirhellum §as in Amer- that helm: voul later on.
