By the Associated Press. PARIS, June 13.—Paul Doumer, the oldest man ever to be elected to the position, succeeded Gaston Doumergue as President of the third French Re- | public this afternon in the Elysee Pal- ace. Escorted by two squadrons of cavalry, Premier Laval motored to the Petit Luxembourg Palace to bring the new chief of state to the French executive mansion. The premier and the T4-year-old . President-glect were cheered as they proceeded through the streets into the Rue Faubourg St. Honore, where a bat- { | i talion of infantry presented arms, &' color guard diped the flag and the band played the “Marseillaise.” Greeted by Aides. Upon alighting at the palace M. Dou- mer was greeted by his predecessor's chief secretary, and was ushered into the Salon of Ambassadors by Gen. Las- son, the retiring President’s chief aide. There M. Doumergue, surrounded by the Presidents and other officers of the Senate and the Chamber, and the en'ire cabinet, welcomed him and spoke brief- 1y of the pleasure it gave him to turn over the chief magistracy to a true Re- publican patriot. After M. Doumer replied in a similar wein, they retired to the outgoing Presi- dent’s private study, where the official mcts were signed, and Gen. Duball, grand chancellor of the Legion of Honor, placed the insignia of the grand master about the new President’s neck. At that moment a 21-gun salute was fired from the banks of the nearby Seine and M. Doumer became President in fact. The entire ceremony lasted only about 20 minutes, after which President Dou- mer and Premier Laval went to the Hotel De Villes for a reception. De- clining the usual official escort, M. Doumergue left for Toulouse to rejoin his bride of less than a fortnight. Cabinet Offers to Resign. Upon their return to the palace Premier Laval submitted to the Pres dent the resignation cf his entire cab- inet as a matter of form. M. Doumer asked him to carry on with the same ministry and sigried the necessary de- crees constituting the renewal of the government. M. Doumergue’s farewell message and M. Doumer’s inaugural address will be read in both houses of Parliament next week. Following constiutional pro- cedure, the President will submit his address to the council of ministers first. President Doumer later went to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, under the Arc de Triomphe. and relighted the “sacred flame” in honor of France's war dead, among whcm are four of his gons. He then returned to the palace to pass the first night of his seven- year term. NATIONAL C. OF C. WILL ATTACK SLUMP AT SESSIONS HERE (Continued From First Page) Homer Gard.

By the Assoclated Press. MANHATTAN, Kans, June 13— Chatrman James C. Stone of the Ped- Farm Board sald last night a crash in wheat prices which would have “cost this country, as a whole, billions of dollars” had been averted by the board stepping Int> the wheat market last November. He asserted the board's stabilization operations in wheat and cotton had been fully justified by the results. Stone told the American Institute of Co-operation it was the opinion of the board that the price of wheat in Chi- cago would have dropped to 50 cents & bushel or lower if the board had not come forward to bolster prices. Cites Bank Failures. He cited the series of bank failures in Arkansas, Kentucky and North Caro- lina last’ Fall and said 30,000,000 to 40,000,000 bushels of wheat on which banks had advanced loans would have been dumped on the market if the price | had declined a cent or two. | Admitting the stabilization opera- | tions had resulted in losses of Federal { funds, he said & eneficial results from both cotton :and wheat stabilization activities to farmers and the country as a whole are { many times over any losses that may be sustained by the revolving fund.” Holds Remedies Temporary. Figuring the stabilization operatiof in a more concrete way, Stone said $100,- 000,000 could be entered on the credit side of the balance sheet, representing the difference between the world 'price and the price of all American wheat sold from November to the end of the crop year. “Then on the debit side, suppose we lose in the sele of the wheat $25.000,- 000, $30,000,000 or even $50.000,000, 1 have never seen the time when I would not swap $50,000,000 for $100,- 000,000.” Summing up stabilization activities, the board chairman said “our experi-| ence convinces us that these can be | restored to only as temporary remedies | and cannot cope successfully with con- | tinuous production of & crop or stead! mounting surpluses.” He asked the public not to lose sight of the board’s progress in developing co-operative organizations among farm- ers and stockmen in a long-time pro- gram designed to place the producers in a position to “adjust production to the probable market demand and to mer- chandise their products in such a way as to reflect back tg th: grower the price paid the consumer.” Is Gloomy on Wheat.

Y. June 1 comparison with some of the venerable sciences, bacteriology is a recent de- velopment. This section of the sclence of living things is still in its first century and many men who knew its founders, Pasteur and Koch, are still living. During this time, bacteriological knowledge has been of great practical value in the diagnosis, cure and control | of disease, in agricuiture and in the industries The useful as well as the harmful activities of microbes are now taken for granted by people who formerly re- garded germs with curiosity or terror. While a great deal of practical bac- teriology is applied every day, we know very little about the real nature and doings of this invisible population of microbes. A significant recent development is more intensive study of the bacteria for themselves, as well as for what may be done to use them or combat them. Microbes Hard to Analyze. There is a large group of contagious and destructive diseases of man, ani- mals and plants caused by microbes. which no one has seen or cultivated on the broths and jellies used by bac- teriologists as culture media Among these diseases are smellpox, hydropho- bia, infantlle paralysis. yellow fever, foot and mouth disease, and mosaic disrase of tobacco and other plants. rot fever or psittacosis and distemper of dogs belong in this group. The agents which cause these diseases are called filterable viruses. These get their hame from their ability to pass through the pores of unglazed porcelain tubes which hold back ordinary bacteria. | They are so small that they cannot Recently it has been shown that par- | 'EFFORTS OF SCIENCE TO CURB ERMS DESCRIBED Research Workers Study Bacteriophage, able Virus, Which Bacteria. fact that they seem to multiply only in association with a living animal or plant cell.

These newer studies give prom- | ise of obtaining reliable vaccination methods against yellow fever, distemper | of dogs. and possibly against infantile | paralysis and other diseases in this group. | Bacteriophage Destroys Bacteria, A peculiar agent, somewhat like a filterable virus, is an apparently self- | | perpetuating thing called bacteriophage.

Some think that this germ-destroying agent comes from the bacteria themselves: others that it | is a virus which infects bacteria and produces a disease fatal to the suscep- tible germs. In France, India and in some places in this country, this bac- teriophage has been used successfully to stop typhold fever, cholera, boils and several other infections.

The D'Ormesson plan, it is felt, even if it serves only to stimulate discussion along the li indicated, may event- ually, say its proponents, lead to Franco- American initiative of some sort in the common interest of general peace, pros- perity and disarmament.

FOUR DIE IN AIR CRASH SAARBRUECKEN, Germany, June 13 (#).—A regular passenger piane fly- crashed here this morning. killing the pilot, mechanic and two passengers. After its start was delayed for a half hour on account of fog, the plane rose to about 300 feet and nose-dived for an unexplained reason. It caught fire as it struck the ground and the four vic- tims were badly burned. ing between Cologne and Saarbruecken | {plan and then consider each individual | acquisition on its own merits. | The latter course is considered the | more probable. While this would in- | volve more time. the railroad pre | dents look upon their general consoli- dation scheme in the light of an emer- | gency measurs similar to that of the | proposed freight-rate increase and, therefore, they will request the commis- sion to act without undue delay. The isual practice in rate matters is for the commission to suspend all changes for { a period of 90 days, during which time they will hear all complaints, but under emergency conditions this period mnay | be shortered. | New Direct Entry Into City. A major part of the new expenditures which woula be undertaken by the cai riers, if they could have the uncertainty {of counter onsolidation proposals Te- {moved, would be involved in projects {to give the Baltimore & Ohio and the Chesapeake & Ohio-Nickel Plate direct access into New oYtk City. The other | two systems, New York Central and Pennsylvania, already have this advan- tage. Fellowing the December announce- { ment, Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio, who has taken a leading part in all the consolidation maneuvers, said the major systems would be built up. piece by plece, although a formal draft of the agrce- ment would be filed with the commis- sion when complete. He made it clear at that time that no blanket applica- tion to cover the entire plan was con- templated, and it is believed the same procedure will cover the present case. At that time the only major problem seen in the way of the presidents mak- ing an agreement was -the question of the Pennsylvania Railroad's desire for trackage over the Nickel Plate line along the southern shore of Lake Erie. No intimation of how this was settled at yesterday's meetng was made pub- lic. Mr. Willard said last December, in sppeaking for the proposal following President Hoover's announcement, that he knew of no single factor which would contribute more toward stabili- zation of business, insure financial sta- bility of the railroads and increase em. ployment than <he mergers agreed upon. Mr. Willard took a leading part in formulating the original four-party gram five years ago, which was pro- d by the Pennsylvania and event- ed by the commission in rty line-up. The present four-party plan differs from the five-party plan in that it makes no provision for a Wabash-Sea- board system. The Seaboard is now in recelvership and the Wabash, under the President’s plan, goes to the Penn- sylvania. Mr. Willard has been the principal contact between the railroad heads and the administration at Wash- ington. ' Bank Taken Over by State.

LONDON PROBE REPORTED. Physician Quoted as Saying He Saved | Girl From Drug Overdose. LONDON, June 13 (#).—The puzzling life and death of Starr Faithfull, New York girl, were the subject of exhaust- ive research and speculation today. | In the face of repeated denials by | officials, the Daily Sketch sald Scot-| land Yard had been introduced into the mystery by New York police and | that it was conducting & search here for certain friends of the girl. Two of them already had been interviewed, it was said, and their statements might be sent to America. The investigation was said to be un- der the direction of Detective Inspector | Baker, head of the ‘“narcotic squad,” and Divisional Inspector Hester. An unnamed physician was quoted in an interview by the Dally Express as saying he saved Miss Faithfull's life on the same visit after she had taken an overdose of a sedative drug. Summoned hurriedly to her hotel, he said, he found her lying unconscious on the bed with an empty bottle of the medicine standing nearby. After he had revived her, he said she told him she had drunk considerable gin and then swallowed 24 tablets of the sedative, the maximum dose of which is four tablets. ‘When he asked her the reasohs for her act, he said she told him “I have nothing to live for. body has let me down badly.” ‘The Express quoted the woman man- ager of the hotel to the effect that Miss Faithfull's stepfather, Stanley E.

Hellweg Announces New Schedule Will Become Effec- tive After October 1. Capt. Julius F. Hellweg, superin- | tendent of the Naval Observatory, an- | nounced today that after October 1 | the number of time brcadeasts sent out from the observatory will be doubled. with six instead of the present three being sent out over the air for scientific purposes. Numerous requests upon the Navy will bring about the added service. The Navy Department pointed out today that with the new service it will be possible to receive three time signals on Pacific Coast time during working hours. “The time ‘checks' are necessary as celestial observations are needed o ac- curately determine the exact position of observers,” the department explained. Effective October 1, seventy-fifth me- ridian time will be sent out at 3 a.m. 12 noon, 4 pm, 7 pm, 10 pm. and midnight. Coast and Geodetic Survey work in the West will be aided by re- ceipt of the time signals, the depa: ment said, enabling needed calculations to be made mcre easily.
