LAVAE CONFIDENT OF FRENCH CABINET Radicals May Refuse Prom- ised Co-operation With Marin Faction. By the Associated Press. PARIS, January 26.—Scnator Pierre | Laval expressed confidence today that - he would have a cabinet to replace that of Premier Theodore Steeg, which re- « signed Thursday, before tonight, and would be able to read his declaration of policy to the Chamber of Deputies ‘Thursday. His optimism was in the face of a renewal of old antagonisms between the Radical Socialists, a powerful Left m. and the Rightist coll:agues of Marin. Yesterday the Radicals voted to collaborate with their 135 Chamber votes with the new premier- designate, but their resolution was ambiguous, and today it was understood that they maintained their old refusal of collaboration in any t in which the Marinists veie re In order to obtain a Chamber ma- Jority, it appeared today, Senator Laval | must have the co-operation of both ups. Beeerll portfolios were considered as already designated. M. Laval almcst certainly will take the important min- istry of interior for himself. It also is likely that M. Tardieu will'be offered s portfolio, while Aristide Briand has already taken the foreign office. FEDERAL COURTS RESEARCH PLANNED THE EVENING STAR. From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. Newman Traveltalk Delightful Entertainment. HE first of the season's New- man Traysltalks took place yesterday afternoon in the National Theater before an audience which, in a house filled to overflowing, included a series of “standees,” who crowded the back walls. Mr. Newman was, in fact, wel- comed me” with much en- thusiasm and as though the au- dience had been waiting for him since he disap- peared last sea- fon. Although in a measure this veteran globe- trotter was just 2s he always has been, he seemed to bring into yesterday's pic- torial review of “Naples to the Alps” a mite more humor and an inclination to dwell less on the seamy side of life. His pictures, interesting, cclorful and always taken with an eye for the familiar as well as the novel, ranged from “stills” to “movies” and back again with amusing and stimulating results. ‘What Mr. Newman dces best is to bring with him glimpses of those cities and “haunts” which, having been visited by most every one, are always welcome in review, and espe- cially so in the manner in which the artist presents them. Thus, if one has been a visitor at the Villa d'Este, on Lake Como, or at the Villa Carlotti, or at Santa Margherita, Mr. Newman has that peculiar faculty, not only of picturing them to the best of their advantage, but E.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, January 26.— ‘Yale University last night announced that & national study of law adminis- tration in the Federal courts of the United States will be made through 12 university law schools throughout the country, each conducting a unit of rescarch of its own.

Billy Watson's Show At the Gayety Theater. BURLESQUE fans who attended the Gayety last night in the ex- ectation of seeing that old and amiliar trouper “Sliding” Billy Wat- son in his own show were disap- pointed. Due to the death of his mother, the comedian did not appear, but, according to the inflexible rule of the stage—"the show must go on” —he will appear at all other per- formances during the week. Manager Lake so assured the patrons. In the absence of Watson, Freddie Walker was the shining light of the show. His droll humor was always good for a laugh. Watson's own role was understudied, but the substiiu- tion was not so good. It is diffi- cult to find an acceptable substitute for him. Mabel White, feminine lead, ap- peared in several scenes and was very well received. Josephine Flint, Laura Laurice, Marion Lee and Sonny Crest, four bits of burlesque pulchritude, came through with some fine dancing. Miss Taurice has a clever specialty number. Jack Ryon's nimble feet also were disolayed to advantage. The chorus has more than the usual number of goou-look- ing girls. B wW. GANDH RELEASE T0 0 10 BONBAY British, Uneasy at Prospeci of Demonstration, Free Him After Dark. By _the Associated Press. POONA, India, January 26.— Mahatma Gandhi, frail 61 yead-old- leader of the Indian Nationalists, was released from prison tonight. POONA. India, January 24 (#).—Ma- hatma Gandhi, Indian Nationalist leader, awaiting release from his prison quarters at Yeroda, here this afternoon signified to prison authorities that he would go to Bombay as soon as granted his liberty. The “holy one” was spending his day of silence and refused to utter a word when asked in writing where he wished to proceed, but taking a slip of paper wrote on it in English, “Bombay.” Police in Readiness. Police and troops were in readiness here to prevent any demonstration when the prisons gates should be opened to rel the man who has led the Nationalists in their campaign of civil disobedience to secure Indian in- dependence. His decision to make Bombay his destination when leaving the prison aroused considerable anxiety among authorities, who feared demonstrations, with possible bloodshed and rioting. May Await Darkness. It seemed that in all likelihood the British will remove him only under cover of darkness and secrecy in order to_prevent mob manifestation. It was understood that Mrs. Sarojini Naidu, former president of the Nation- alist Congress, would accompany Gandhi when he was released, orders for her liberation having been issued today. Simultaneously, other members of the outlawed Working Committee of the congress are being freed from jail in different parts of the country. —— TOMB OF QUEEN FOUND CARIO, t, January 26 (P).— The tomb of an ancient queen, containing magnificent treasures, was bared yesterday at the Ra Ouer Tomb inclosure by Prof. Selim Hassan, noted tologist. e queen has not been identified, but the tomb consists of two chambers, one containing her sarcophagus and the other furniture and such objects as tollet requisites in pure gold. Alabaster figures and a bed also were found, the design of the latter resembling some modern European styles. e Ra Ouer Tomb (Ra Ouer was high priest of Nekheb, %odflm of Upper Egypt) is near Lh!‘Sp inx.

NEW YORK, January 26.—A parrot from its cage in the bed room window squawked its monotonous “Hello, Poll; Hello, Poll.” Nearby, in a bed, her arms rigid above her head as if to resist a blow, lay the body of Mrs. Frank Yitkos, 44 years old. | Beside her lay an ax. blood on it. Husband Calls Police. It was Sunday morning in the Yit- kos’ two-room lgnrtmem in the Cherry Hill section of the lower East Side. Po- lice got the call from the woman's hus- band, Frank Yitkos, known to them as “a real tough guy” in a part of Man- hattan which is “real tough” itself. “My wife is sick,” he telephoned at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. She was not sick; she was dead. One wrist_had been cut, probably with the ax. Loss ef blood caused her death. Yitkos was arrested. His brother Peter, whom he had called before the police, was held as a material witness. Accuses “Two Italians.” Yitkos said his wife had been killed by “two Italians” when he refused their demands for money. He said he had given them $15 to leave and he had then gone to sleep. He awoke to find his wife dead.

These are the “share croppers,” as they are called, on their way to the nearest Red Cross relief office or going back to their homes with the mcager rations thus provided. Nearly always it's a sack of flour, and either a pail of lard or a liitle package of plain salt pork: It may be lard one week and meat the next, because even from the $2 a week and 50 cents for each child given them, they sometimes find it possible to save out a little meat one week and lard the next, so they alternate, one week taking lard and the next meat. For the most part, these destitute people, who are dependent upon the. Red Cross for food, are a philosophical lot. Hardships are not new to th-m. condition and are uncomplaining. Many of them live in shacks built of logs or in dilapidated board houses. They have little furniture—perhaps a bed, two or three chairs and a stove in one room and a rickety table and stove in the kitchen. Despite the seriousness of their plight, st;;ne families refuse or hesitat: to seek aid. Rabbits are plentiful and many per- sons are virtually living on them.
