EPISCOPAL MEN PLAN ANNIVERSARY Brotherhood of St. Andrew to Hold Rededication Service Wednesday. The forty-ninth anniversary of the| founding of the Brotherhood of St. An- drew will be celebrated at a ipecil-\I service of rededication in the Chapel of the Resurrection at Washington Cathedral, Wednesday evening, at 8 o'clock. Rev. G. Freeland Peter, D. D., chancellor of the Cathedral; Rev. Franklin J. Bohanan, D. D., chaplain of the assembly of the Brotherhood; and Rev. William .R. Moody, D. D., will par- ticipate: V. Guthrie, presi- dent of the assembly; Edmund Rogers and Charles E. White, vice presidents: Bruce Baird, treasurer; and John H. Davidson, secretary, will attend. ' The Brotherhood was established at | St. James’ Church, Chicago, on St. An- drew’s Day, November 30, 1883. It had its origin in a Bible class conducted by James L. Houghteling. Founded by Young Men. H. Lawrence Choate, 925 Fifteenth street, national president of the organ- jzation from 1928 to 1931, yesterday told of the small beginnings from which the international society grew. “The founder was only 27 years old,” he said, “and the earliest members were youths of only 18 or 19. St. James' Church was near a boarding house dis- trict in which lived hundreds of young men without definite religious connec- tions. It was from among these that the first strength of the new movement came. The ideals of the group soon were tested by the case of a drunken vagabond, who was sent to them for practical help. - Their experience with the man indicated the opportunities for social service in the parish. They ac- cepted the challenge, and in the course of a few years their work had inspired other groups throughout the United States. Today there are chapters of the Brotherhood in Canada, England, Scotland, Mexico, the West Indies and in Japan. The number of chapters in the United States exceeds 700. Aided in Two Wars, “Out of the brotherhood have come many of the bishops and other clergy. In one Pennsylvania chapter there were five boys, and all entered the ministry. “It is interesting to know that the ‘brotherhood did war work in the Span- ish-American War, as well as in the ‘World War. There are chapters in the Army and Navy and in various church preparatory schools and colleges. Even in prisons there are St, Andrew’s groups organized among the inmates to help Lheminmelrusrtrulg'lebmkwlchflx- e. “There are only 12 references to St. Andrew in the Scriptures. He was the ;o& of John and the brother of Simon r.” National offices are maintained at the Church House, Philadelphia. Courtenay Barber of Chicago is national president. SLAYING OF PEASANTS| DENIED BY JAPANESE Embassy Here Refutes Slaughter- ing of 2,700 Chinese in Manchuria. Reports that 2,700 Chinese peasants | were slaughtered by Japanese soldiers in Manchuria were denied yesterday in a statement issued at the Japanese em- bassy. At the same time, the Chinese lega- tion made public dispatches from the Nanking ministry of foreign affairs, denying rumors that China favors set- tling its troubles with Japan through direct negotiations rather than through the League of Nations. The statement issued at the Japanese embassy said: “The Japanese embassy has received an official report stating the story is utterly unfounded. The story, which was originally carried by a Chinese newspaper in Shanghai on November 15 as a dispatch from Peiping, seems to have been fabricated by Chang Sueh- Liang for the purpose of propaganda on the eve of the opening of the League Council.” One of the messages made public at the Chinese legation says T. V. Soong, acting president of the executive coun- cil, received the Ministers of the United States, Great Britain, France, Ger- many and Italy and “discredited the rumor, rather assiduously circulated by Japanese agents, that there is a grow- ing tendency for the Chinese govern- ment to favor direct negotiations with Japan.” The message, dated at Nanking on November 25, credited Soong with say- ing the Manchurian issue is *“squarely ! up to the League, which has to decide upon not only the future of the three Eastern provinces (Manchuria), but also upon the principle of the sanctity of treaties and the very existence of the League itself.” COMEDY-MELODRAMA PRESENTED BY CENTER East Washington Play Season In- | augurated With Dual Per- | formance.

A resolution was adopted asking the District authorities to provide a walk along Conduit rcad at Ashby street. C. S. Bailey, who offered the resolution, said a path between a culvert and a fence on Conduit road at this point is so narrow that school children are forced to walk in the road and many have narrowly escaped injury from automobiles. The assoclation voted $6 to be used to buy Christmas baskets of food for the needy in that community. President Jordan exhibited The Even- ing Star Cup he had received on be- half of the association for its prize- | winning float in the Halloween parade. The association voted to hold all meetings in the community church instead of alternating the meetings be- tween the church and the Francis Scott Key School. PARKS DEPARTMENT UNION GETS CHARTER Head of National Federation Lauds Government Service to Citizens. Presenting a charter to the Public| Bulldings and Public Parks Lodge of the American Federation of Govern- ment Employes, John Arthur @haw, na- tional president, said the Foderal Gov- ernment gets more in return for the| money expended for salaries than any | business concern. He added that tax- | payers, in turn, get more value for what they pay the Government than for any other investment. “It is estimated that the average expenditure of the taxpayers to the Federal, State, county and municipal governments is $162 ” said Mr. Shaw. “What privte corporation could be or-| ganized and come within several hun- dred dollars of that amount in the service it could give? The national, State and local governments give us| national safety, police and fire pro-| tection, good roads, efficient schools and | various other services and benefits which, when added together, are worth so much more than the price Which | our critics say is too high.” | Other speakers included George L. Jeffrey, fourth national vice president, and Michael D. Schaefer, president of the District department. | Members of the lodge whose names | appear on the charter are | Bailey, president of the lodge; W. H.| Ireland, W. F. O'Donnell, P. G. Cockrell, W. S.

CHICAGO, November 26, — Police would like to know exactly how A. A. (Jack) Drummond, a rancher, of Tulsa, Okla,, came to lose $91,000 in & Loop hotel. Drummond's story was that the money disappeared from his hotel room some time between Thursday night and 10 o'clock Friday morning. The money was in bills of $500 and | $1,000 and was carried in a money belt, he sald. Contrary to his custom and ccause he was “so full of turkey.” he took the belt off before retiring. When he awoke, it and the money were gone. Skeptical at first regarding the amouut involved, police said they were convinced Drummond had lost the money after Elmo Thompson, vice presi- dent of the Exchange National Bank of Tulsa, told them over the phone Drum- mond left there three weeks ago W $317,500 in cash on him. Drummond then told them he drew out $10,000 more from the Kansas City Fidelity Trust & Savings Bank. Later, he said, he visited Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Cleveland, coming to Chicago Thanksgiving day. The robbery theory was discarded by police when they suggested the possi- bility of Drummond having been the victim of confidence men. He Wwas quoted as saying “If that mob got the money, officers, forget the matter, for I'll get it back better than you will.” “That mob,” Drummond disclosed, was several men who apparently had followed him around on his travels. ‘They were stockmen, he said.

C, GIRL 15, 15 WINNER IN STOCK JUDGING North Dakota 4-H Club Mem- ber Scores 21 Points Higher Than Next Contestant. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, November 26.—Jean Leake, 15, brown-eyed and pretty, con- quered the International Live Stock Ex- position on her first trip from her North Dakota farm home. Twenty-four hours after arriving, she won the first purple ribbon at the big show, taking individual honors in the non-collegiate judging contest. Now she is going to spend a week seeing the city. It is the first time she has been this far east. Jean was the hnnglest girl in the country last night when she was an- nounced as the first girl to win the| 4-H contest. Her score was am the highest in the history of the erpo: tion. Team Finished Third. Boys predominated the champion three-man teams from 16 farm States, but Jean's score was 21 points higher than her closest competitor. With her help, the team from Grand Forks Ccunty, North Dakota, took third place, being bettered only by Minnesota and Towa. The daughter and granddaughter of Red River Valley farmers, Jean, wasn't }good enough last year for the team| | that won second place in North Dakota. | [Her older brother, Lloyd, made the| | team. But this year, her revenge was com-| plete. She defeated Lloyd in the county | | preliminaries and led the team to its international honors. She'd rather judge horses than any- thing else, with sheep as second choice over cattle and swine. Jean has been a member of 4-H clubs for five years. Sheep are her specialty. She owns a flock of 15 pure-bred | Shropshires on her father's 640-acre farm near Emerado, 25 miles from | Grand Forks. Won Scholarship. Two years ago she entered a 4-H Corn Club and produced a good yield on an acre plot. The corn was fed to her sheep. One year she was in a flax club. At Central High Scheol, Grand Forks, she is a sophomore. Harry Leake, her father, was born on his farm. Her grandfather, a Nova Scotian, homesteaded it in the '80s. Jean’s interests are on the farm, but definite plans for the future haven't| been made. She wants to attend the| University of North Dakota at Grand Forks, rather than the Agriculture Col- lege at Fargo. - A scholarship, donated by Chicago business men, was part of her inter- national winnings. | 'OTHER NATIONS PAY | WASHINGTON TRIBUTE, ‘State Department Receives Bicen- tennial Messages From Italy, Cuba and Poland.

S Sound Waves Burn Corks to Cinders, Even Under Water Screeching Noise Kills Frogs, Smatler Animals and Bacteria. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 26.—A new screeching sound which chars to cin- ders the centers of corks, even under water, was reported yesterday in Phys- ics, the scientific journal of the Amer- ican Physical Soclety. The discovery is a new tool, both scientific and practical, Newton Gaines of the the University Cem of Texas. The corks are burned by sound alone. Sound energy_ transforms into heat so fast that in about 25 seconds hot gases burst a hole in the cork. In two min- utes the entire interior up to a thin outer shell is cinders. happens both in air and water. The sound is made by a small nickel tube, about as big around as a police- man’s whistle, but several times longer. It is straight and hollow, onc end closed like a drum with a nickel plate. This plate vibrates to make the screech, when an_electrical current is applied to the other end with proper instruments. The drumming motion is so rapid that the plate is eroded by its hammer- like blows against water. The erosion forms an eight or nine pointed star. The vibrations move at the rate of one- tenth the acceleration of a bullet in & rifle barrel. The new thing in this screech is audibility. Hitherto the strange killing effects of “sound” have been obtained with inaudible—that is, “supersound”— waves, But these long sound waves of the Texas whistle kill perhaps even faster than “supersound.” When immersed in liquids its victims are frogs, smaller animals and bacteria. The latter die by millions. ‘The noise is painful to hearing, but cotton in the ears enables investigators to work in comfort a few feet or even inches distant. .
