The arrest resulted from the fatal shooting last week by Dr. Tucker of a Chinese hospital employe. Dr. Tucker said he fired at the man in the belief he was a burglar. The Koumintang in the Techow dis- trict immediately demanded execution of Dr. Tucker, suspension of the activi- ties of the mission, an apology from the American Minister and payment of an indemnity to the dead man's family. Dr. Tucker, following a series of rob- be.des at the hospital, kept a revoiver under his pillow on & cot in his office, the American consul at Tsinanfu re- ported. Last Saturday night he was awakened by a man who entered the office with a skeleton key. The intruder started to fiee when Dr. Tucser awoke and op-ned fire Legation_officials said any effort to bring Dr. Tucker to trial in the Chinese courts would be opposed. TUCKER ARREST NOT REPORTED.

The four groups of statuary will re place a similar number of pylons or inally planned for the Washington side of the bridge. These were eliminated when it was learned their size would obscure the Lincoln M-morial from per- sons crossing the bridge. Work May Take Two Years. It has been necessary also to ¢l minate the rows of statues which were to have adorn-d either side of the entire span in order to save between $300,000 and $600,000, according to Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 2d, director of Public Buildings and Public Parks. This step does not mean necessarily Col. Grant explained, that the statuary rows cannot be added at som- liter date should the money be made avail- able for thm. Col. Grant estimated it will be at least two years before the plaster models of the four groups can be wrought in gran- ite. No estimate is as yet available on the cost of the groups.

LOCHNER. BERLIN, July 21.—President Paul | von Hindenbrug, despite his 83 years. is anything but a figurehead. His will still rules the cabinet and. with it, the country. As it is exercised only on oc-| casions of the first importance, it is all the more decisive. This reserve power is an outstanding characteristic of the venerable octoge- narian., All his life Von Hindenburg has sought to conserve his strength. Quick, nervous motions are foreign to | him and, in fact, taboo in his presence. | When his political advisers, adjutants | or secretaries report to him he insists that they walk without haste, speak without hurry, marshal = their facts | without waste of words. During & period of political hysteria, such as has characterized the last year in Germany, the fact that at the head nothing can throw out of his poise has been of incalculable benefit to the na- tlon.

No Incognito Possible. One of the penalties which the Presi- dent pays for his huge stature and characteristic square features is that he can never extend these strolls be- yond the presidential garden—not even to the nearby historic Tiergarten. There is no incognito possible for him. All trafic would be stopped by crowds were he to venture out. Window shopping, which he would so much like to ]{‘ldlllg! in, must ever remain a pious wish. The president’s official day begins at 9 am. The chief of the government press department then gives him a resume of the happenings in the world during the last 24 hours. The report must be short, concise, interesting and arranged according to the importance of events. If the reporter can enliven his talk by interspersing the latest po- litical jokes and showing him cartoons, the soldier-Presigent is-all the happier. ‘There follows a special report on military matters by an officer of the defense ministry, for, veteran ficld marshal that he is, Von Hindenburg proposes to be commander in chief of the army and navy in fact as well as in name.

BULGARIAN WOMAN, 152, BELIEVED WORLD OLDEST Sofia Papers Challenge Claims of Zara Agha, Who Recently Toured U. S. SOFIA, June 18.—Sofla papers deny that the famous Zara Agha of Stam- boul, who recently returned from the United States to Turkey, is the oldest person in the world, claiming this glory for a Bulgarian woman, Slavka Mitova, living in the village of Djafarll, in the district_of Varna, on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast. The papers say that this woman is 152 years old, and that consequently she was a centenarian at the time of Bulgaria's war for independence. She is In good health and spirits. When she was 100 years old she cut new teeth. She walks without a cane, ex- ecutes easy work In the household and busies herself with poultry farming.
