LETTER ON TRAVEL IN'1835 1S RELIC Girls Sucking Lemons on Trip| Inspires Denunciation of Rail Methods. § BY J. A.

Irked by Familiarity. ‘The spirit of democratic familiarity which the railroads bred was the thing that irked Samuel, who longed for the good old days of post horses and post chaises, when gentlemen were gentle- men and ladies didn’t suck lemans and ‘eat green apples in public, if their gas- tronomic tastes ran that way. But where Samuel and his kind found too much democracy, some sneer- ing members of Congress, when the rail interests were seeking assistance in get- ting a start, looked on the budding in- dustry as an agency only of the aris- tocracy, so they condemned it. And this was only a very light phase of a battle that was every bit as in- tense as that waging today, with the difference that then, the railroads were on the defensive, with canals and high- way carriers, the less interests— such as tavern keepers—developed on the highways, and just plain scoffers, leading the attack, while today, they are in the assaulting position. The railroads found the coin’: )lx;f'\;, one Oliver Evans, a Philadelphia me- chanic, was seized with the that "wu‘vnl" could be operated by “apply- ing the elastic power of the steam for original motion.” About all he got for his pains was a chorus of “what of its?” and thinly-velled references as to his Right in Maryland.

One speaker in the Messachusetts House called on his colleagues to tell him, if they could, “how would turkies, butter and eggs look after coming over a railroad 30 miles an hour? How would pigs and passengers travel over it together in the same car?” History does not record the answer, but it does, his peroration, that if the Bay State “must have & ificent project, he would the whole length and try to bring beaven to earth, or earth to heaven.” But the real fight over the relative merits of canals and railroads was staged in this section with Washing- The Chesapeake ‘anal & Ohio Railroad, Pro; to connect Chesapeake Bay with the Ohio River, got their start on July 4, 1828, the B. & O. being the pioneer in the nu.xlgnd ;‘:x?dinew“hf ingtonians strung ng. canal, and Baltimoreans, with the railroad. Naturally, the newspapers took up eud- gels, with the Baltimore American and the National Intelligencer here, using plenty of ink. Vox Popull joined in great numbers, and a merry melee en- ued, sued. The general “tenoreof the enmities that were exchanged was indicated ‘when sections of the Baltimore & Ohio ‘was inundated by a freshet, and the editor of the Intelligencer jibed that the railroad “was becoming a canal-—at least in parts.” Both rallroad and canal interests were on the hunt for public funds, and this fight, together with that over right of way through the Potomac Valley, from Point of Rocks to Hi Ferry, brought on an investigation by the Maryland islature over the respec- tive merits of the two forms of trans- portation at which there was ample airing of conflicting claims. Benjamin Wright, celebrated New York engineer of the time, was called in and offered the view that “the great advantage a canal will always have over the railroad consists in the little mind, or thought, that is required to use it.” The Pennsylvania canal commission- ers opined that the sole advantage in favor of the rallroads over canals lay in the fact that the railroads wouldn’t freeze up in Winter. New York was another celebrated battleground, and there the fight on rallroads was carried to the point where lines running parallel or nearly parallel to State canals were forced to pay tolls on all property carried. Great Britain, where right now rail- roads are contesting for supremacy with busses and trucks, also had its internal { dissension while the roads were getting their start, one roar in particular com- from country squires who com- lained at devastation the rallroads d work on their fox covers.

MUELHEIM, Germany, March 28.— Prof. Franz Pischer of the Kaiser Wil- | helm Coal Research Institute here has perfected a method to free illuminating gas blologically from the deadly car- bonic oxide, it was announced today. He has carried out his experiment on a large scale by passing the gas over a tank filled with the muddy precipitate left in waste water after the distillation of coal, having discovered that the pre- cipitate contains bacteria which absorb the poisonous content of carbonic oxide, leaving the resultant gas free of poison. It was stated it is technically possible to disinfect 150,000 cubic meters of gas a day by means of 5,000 cubjc meters of mud.

C. Teague, vice chairman of the board, openly clashed with Senator David A. Reed, Republican, of Pennsylvania. Mr. ‘Teague singled out one of the conserva- tive critics of the board, for Senator Reed had condemned the board mem- bers for entering the buying operations at all. The Senator had attributed the prospective Treasury deficit this year to “money lost through the Farm Board and the money loaned to veterans not in_distress.” Mr. yesterday “loaned” and not lost the $400,000, already placed in its hands through propriations. “So far there have been no losses from these secured loans,” he sald. “It is certain that a large part, if not all, of the money loaned will be returned to the Treasury.” It was pointed out, however, that Mr. Teague did not refer to the wheat surplus owned the board, on which inevitable that it will e in a statement of 3 Per Cent Acreage Drop. ‘The report by the Department of Ag- riculture estimates that, allowing for abandonments, total Winter and Spring wheat acreage this year will amount to 57,441,000 acres, compared with 59,- 53,000 acres harvested in 1930, a de- cline of 3 per cent. On the basis of 145 bushels per acre, the 25-year av- erage for the entire country, this means that a crop of 832,804,500 bushels will be harvested. Domestic needs at the maximum are said to be 700,000,000 bushels. ‘The departmental report finds in prospect “an abnormally large world carry-over” of wheat, a situation which must affect prices here when the pro- ducers go on an export basis in July. AUBURN STOCK Quiz DISCLOSES ‘NOTHING’ Wew York's Attorney General Not to Intervene in Shares’ Sudden Rise. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 28.—Paul J. McCauley, State assistant attorney gen- eral in charge of the Bureau of Securi- ties, said in a statement today that to date an investigation into the recent market action of Auburn Automobile stock has “disclosed nothing that would warrant any intervention by the attorney general” nor was there any indication that there would be “any in- tervention in the immediate future.” Reports were current some time ago that Auburn’s sensational skyrocketing on the New York Stock Exchange was being investigated by the bureau, and it also was known that the Business Con- duct Committee of the exchange was watching the stock closely. The shares have climbed by leaps and bounds from & 1931 low of $101.50 ta a high of $251.50, attaining the latter mark on Wednesday of this week. The issue is susceptible to rapid movements because of its small floating supply, which means that the price advances rapidly when shorts are pushed to cover. Mr., McCauley emphasized that his department was concerned only with irregularities in stock transactions and was not concerned with the worth of a security. Women Plot Crime But Seldom Try It, Avers Police Head, Artist, Visiting Gotham, Hits ‘Beautiful but Dumb’ New York Girls. By the Assoclated Pr NEW YORK, March 28 —Women in their own and others’ homes and their fair sisters in crime were the subjects today of two commentators who ought to_know. Henrietta Addition, head of the York Police Department, described the York police department, described the weaker sex as “usually the subtle ele- ment in any crime in which they figure.” She sald “they may be the plotters but seldom the actual perpe- trators. Such things they leave to men. Bobbed-haired bandits and murderesses are unusual.” Women In Blackmail. In blackmail, however, she said, al- most always a woman is involved.

WL BE CHECKED Recalls Altitude Tragedies. May Regain Record. By the Assoclated Pr NEW YORK, March 28.—Elinor Smith, who fell into a stupor high above Long Island and plunged five miles through the air before recovering control of her plane, had recovered to- day from an experience common to aviators seeking altitude records. Skill and steady nerves made Miss Smith more fortunate than many of the “high flyers” before her. A coupling of her oxygen tank broke loose when she was somewhere between 25,000 and 30,000 feet up and she dropped to 2,000 feet before her head cleared. Then she pointed the plane toward a clearing and although it nosed cver in the landing she was not hurt. An official reading of her barograph may show she regained the women's record for altitude which was wrested from her by Ruth Nichols. Elements Are Victorious. For the most part the history of alti- tude flying is the record of the defes of man and his machines by the ele- ments. Miles above the earth the eyes freeze in the intense cold, the metal parts of the plane warp and jam. Flyers gulp at the oxygen tube, are| overwhelmed by a sense of drowsiness— | and some of them don't rally as for- tunately as Miss Smith. ‘Three weeks ago Miss Nichols, with an oxygen tube in her mouth, found her tongue freezing at an altitude of 25,000 feet. It was 50 below zero. Despite th: lp-ln, she continued, and landed safely. In 1928 Mrs. Louise Thaden of Oak- land reached 25,000 feet, dizzy and weak. She discovered that the con- trols were stuck tight. She jarred them loose and came down none the worse. Baloonist Died 8 Miles Up. Capt. Hawthorne C. Gray, Army balloonist, reached 47,000 feet and tried to cut away more sandbags. Instead he hacked the oxygen tube and died eight miles up. In 1925, Lieut. Carleton C. Champion, Navy fiyer, lost consciousness at the same altitude and dropped like a plum- met. The engine exploded, wrapped the plane in flames, Champion fought it and landed safely. Lieut. Apollo Soucek, the ace of the Navy's “high flyers,” reached 38,000 feet and found his eyes freezing, hic hands numb, his mind . At 40,000 feet he fell into a spin, but finally re- covered for a landin; ' “Humans,” he said, “don’t belong up there.” .

Mal- loy, 34 years old, formerly assistant cashier of the defunct Lawrence Ave- nue National Bank, was convicted today in Federal Court of falsification of the bank’s records with intent to defraud. Malloy said he was called to the bank New Year day, kidnaped by four rob- bers, who took 500, driven to Mil- waukee and released. Weeks were Te- quired to check looted safe deposit boxes and to challenge Malloy’s roman- tic_story. ‘The bank, which had almost consu mated a merger with another institu- tion, was closed after the robbery. Malloy testified he “bolstered the ac- counts of the bank” by juggling the books to make a better cash showing, but officers of the bank denied author- izing him to do so. Government in- vestigators testified to reconstructing records of the bank from deposit slips after ledgers had been mutilated and of finding 123 false entries, totaling $60,000.

FOUR DEAD AND TWO HURT MARCH 29, 1931—PART ONE, GANDHI WING 0. K. CF HIS PEACE PAGT Committee Action to Be Fol- lowed by Approval of All- India Congress. By the Associated Press. KARACHI, India, March 28.—A reso- lution approving the Delhi pact be- tween Mahatma Gandhi and Viceroy Irwin was passed by the All-India Congress Committee today, insuring cot ry for the leader. This resolution and others framed by the working committee of the congress and adopted by the All-India Commit- tee are certain to be automatically passed by all the delegates tomorrow. Ranking as the most important be- fore the convention, it makes it clear the Nationalists still insist on India's complete independence; control of the army, finances, fiscal policy and foreign affairs; examination of India's debt by an unblased tribunal and the right of either India or Great Britain to abro- gate the alliance at will. Explains His Stand. In advocating the resolution Gandhi sald: “People may ask ‘how do you reconcile complete independence with partnership at will, which is also in- cluded in the resolution?’ There was a time when I was in line with the hrase, ‘dominion status,’ but today I eel dominion status means relation- Empire with which India has neither common language, race nor color. But partnership at wili means we can ter- minate our connection any time either party wishes to do so.” Subash Bose, mayor of Calcutta and leader of the extremist element, fell into line behind Gandhi's principles and urged his followers to do the same. Favors United Front. “Now, more than ever, it is necessary to present a united front to British bureaucracy,” he said, “and make clear to them and the whole world that the Indian National Congress stands united under the leadership of Gandhi in its demand for complete independence.” The Indian Youths' Revolutionary League renewed in vain their attempts to destroy the unity of the congress and to prevent approval of the truce.

The letter makes plain that the State Department holds Ambassador de Mar- tino to be innocent of participation in controversies among Americans of Italian origin. It was on this charge that an anti-Fascist delegation, led by Dr. Charles Fama of New York, came to Washington on February 24 and re- quested a public hearing before Henry L.
