MYSTERY WITNESS| T0 YESTIFY TODAY Speicher Is Expected to Repeat Allegations to House Group. Frank Speicher, “mystery witnes in the Department of Justice-congres- sional investigation of alleged irregu- larities in Army business transactions, will emerge from self-imposed re- tirement today to make his first ap- pearance before an investigating body since his disappearance on the eve of a grand jury inquiry months ago. Speicher, located in New York City after a Nation-wide search by Justice agents, is expected to repeat to a House subcommittee this afternoon sensational allegations contained in a statement he made recently to repre- sentatives of the Department of Jus- tice. House Group Has Statement. A copy of the statement is in the hands of members of the House group and will be used as a guide in inter- rogating the long-sought Wwitness, whose testimony was waited for in vain by the grand jury. The jury finally decided to conclude its hear- ings without Speicher’s testimony and, while no indictments were voted. & report was sent to the President and to Secretary of War Dern condemning lobbying conditions at the War De- partmen$. Chairman John J. McSwain ap- pointed a subcommittee headed by Representative Rogers, Democrat, of | New Hampshire, to inquire into the charges made before the grand jury by twoscore witnesses. Hearings were recessed during the Summer months, but investigators for the committee have been delving into financial and business records of the Army and some of its officers. Members to Attend. Today's meeting will be the first held by the subcommittee since the Summer vacation. Among members expected to attend in addition to Chairman McSwain are Representa- tive Paul Kvale, Farmer-Laborite, of Minnesota; Representative W. Frank James, Republican, of Michigan, and Representative Lister Hill, Democrat, of Alabama. Speicher, Washington agent for a leak-proof auto tube company, had dealings with the War Department in connection with the program for mo- torizing the Army and National Guard. He is said to have given Justice agents a picture of lobbying intrigue as it existed before the grand Jjury investigation. INFANT LOSES RACE WITH DEATH HERE Succumbs on Train Bound for Johns Hopkins After North Carolina Run. A dramatic race against death was lost last night when a 2-year-old child, being rushed from High Point, Nu C., to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Balti- more, died as the train pulled into the Ivy City railroad yards. Informed yesterday that their child eould survive only under special treat- ment, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse C. White of High Point were aboard a erack train and preparations had been made at the Baltimore hospital to receive the child, but death intervened on the last lap of the race. The train was halted and the baby rushed by ambulance to Casualty Hos- pital, where he was pronounced dead. The parents prepared today to return to High Point.

I HAY EVEAL LFE ON PLANES New Telescope Will Magnify Fartherest Star for Examination, By the Associated Press. CORNING, N. Y., December 3.—In- directly the 200-inch “eye” for the world's largest telescope, poured yes- terday, may furnish information as to whether there is life in other parts of the universe. The present scientific doubts of life have two foundations—one the lack of oxygen on Venus, and the scarcity on Mars. These are the two planets where conditions are anywhere near like those on earth. If there is life, scientists think it cannot be the kind we_know. The other doubt is the probability that the earth is a very rare accident. Earth apparently arose from a col- lision or too close proximity of two stars, one of them the sun. The prob- abilities of such an accident being re- peated to exactly imitate the earth and its atmosphere are considered very remote. That is where the 200-inch telescope to be set up on Palomar Mountain, Calif, may come in. The present world’s largest telescope, the 100-inch instrument at Mount Wilson, Calif., sees about 75,000,000 nebulae. A nebu- lae is a collection of stars like our Milky Way. A low estimate for the number of individual stars on a nebu- lae is 30,000.000,000. Multiplying this number by 75.000,000 gives the number of stars within view of present tele- scopes, The 200-inch mirror is expected to multiply the volume of visible space by 27-fold. If, as is rather expected, this additional space contains nebulae in the same numbers as present known space, the number of individual stars 1s 75,000,000 times 30,000,000,000 times 27. That works out into & number of individual stars so vast that, if it proves correct, more than one duplica- tion of the earth may reasonably be expected. Yesterday's pouring was the second for a 200-inch mirror. Last March the first one was poured, some imper- fections developed, and the astrono- mers decided to have the Corning Glass Works cast a duplicate. Now it is announced that the March mir- ror is good enough to be used if nec- essary. Meanwhile the mirror pouged yes- terday turned out apparently perfect. It went last night into its annealing over, to remain there three months at about 1200 degrees Fahrenheit, after which it will be cooled about a degree a day until it is taken out of the oven 10 months hence. Then years are expected to be needed for grinding and shaping the mirror at the California Institute of Technol- ogy. This results in estimates of 6 to possibly 10 years until the great tele- scope is ready for its first peep at distant space. It will gather four times the light of present telescopes, see three times as far, or nearly a billion light years’ distance, and will take photos 10 times faster than pres- ent great telescopes, 0.

Three new trustees of the National Training School for Boys, on Bla- densburg road northeast, were ap- pointed yesterday by President Roose- velt at the “Little White House” at Warm Springs, Ga. Oscar L. Chapman, Assistant Secre- tary of the Interior, was named to | succeed Francis H. Duehay. Chap- | man formerly was associated with | Judge Ben B.

N, retired, was named to suc- ceed Charles H. Robb. Charles Warren, retired constitu- tional lawyer, was appointed to suc- ceed Newbold Noyes.

CHICAGO, December 3.—Sleeping Patricia Maguire is obeying her moth- er's orders—after 33 months of slumber she is awakening. The mother, Mrs. Sadie Miley, said today she hopes Patricia will be fully awake by April 1, fully recovered from her mysterious ailment, to celebrate her 30th birthday anniversary with her family. It was a mother’s intuition that caused Mrs. Miley to peer into her daughter's staring eyes only a few days ago and “sense that she would respond.” Followed Directions. Taking a pad and pencil, the mother wrote: “Pat, raise your index finger.” The girl's eyes wavered over the paper, then steadied. For the first time since February 15, 1932, Patricia | i responded. She raised her index |\ finger. K Patricia’s sister, Mrs. Gladys Han- sen, was called, and the experiment | was repeated. This time, as bidden, the patient raised two fingers. Since then Patricia has responded to sim- ilar instructions, written on a slate and placed before her eyes. Mother Succeeds. Where science had failed, where ‘Physicians had exhausted their every resource, a mother succeeded. Full recovery, however, is not yet assured. Apparently Patricia is not yet able to co-ordinate ear and mind. To her mother—the mother who ! says, “I am the only one who has always believed she would recover"— this is but another obstacle like that which has been overcome. Now, at least, there is an apparent ability to co-ordinate eye and mind. MAN, 60, FOUND IN PARK, IDENTIFIED AFTER DEATH Robert G. Ansley Succumbs a Hospital—Discovered Uncon- scious on November 21. Robert G. Ansley, who had resided since last March at the Arizona Hotel, 300 block of C street, died Saturday night in Emergency Hospital where he had been confined since the night | of November 21 when he was found | unconscious in Franklin Park. He| was about 60 years old. I Ansley remained unidentified until | his death, which Coroner A. Magruder | MacDonald attributed to natural causes. The body finally was iden- | tified at the Morgue last night by acquaintances who said that Ansley, according to his own account, had once been a saloon owner. No relatives have claimed the body. $400,000 in Notes Gone. Small notes, having a total value of | $400.000, which were placed in circu- lation early in World War times, have | vanished in the Straits Settlements. ‘They have face values of 10 cents and 25 cents. In 1925 they were replaced by silver coins. A recent colonial treasury statement shows that all but $400,000 worth have been redeemed. The missing bills are never seen in|¥ circulation. The banks have none and money changers say they never see one. Nerey.real reews! NEW BONE CONDUCT!
