By Proving Theory | By the Associated Press. PARIS, March 16.—Jan Dunikowski, a modern alchemist, who spent two | years in prison for fraud in connection with a gold-making scheme, is seeking to win vindication by proving his the- ory is correct. The Polish engineer, released from confinement last Fall, has demon- | strated his system to a chemist recog- | nized by the Seine Tribunal. Efforts of Dunikowski's counsel to win a re- versal of the conviction include ex- amination by the court of the chem- ist’s report Albert Bonn, the chemist, watched Dunikowski's process at San Remo on | the Italian Riviera, where the enginger went after his release, and where he | says he has maintained his wife and four children on the money he has made. After Bonn worked the ap-| paratus, he said fraud was impossible Dunikowski uses what he calls “2" rays, to which he submits common earth dug in the neighborhood. Bonn's report says the engineer has recovered | in his presence, 25 milligrams of gold | from 250 milligrams of earth, and | that the system. far from being magic, | is simply a superior means to recover The process, as described by Duni- kowski, involves heating the earth to| 2,500 degree F. Then several quarts of an unidentified acid are poured in and the whole mixed like dough. Mercury is then mixed with it and the mass poured through a chamois skin. ~ HIGHEST PRIC PAID FOR OLD GOLD LOUIS ABRAHAMS Established 40 ¥rs. | 711 G St. N.W. of VACUUM CLEANERS have the 4 ¢ i | New Streamlined Beauty.

NEW YORK, March 16.—The mo- ment to choose the candidates for the | Pulitzer prize again is at hand. Once it was a simple task to group the eligible plays for this accolade. Guided { by past selections, one automatically discarded the comedies and listed the worthier examples of solemn thea- tricals ‘Then, without warning. Committee reached out and snatched a musical comedy to crown. ! was, of course,” “Of Thee I Sing" chosen in a year when it was fairly generally agreed that Eugene O'Neill’s | “Mourning Becomes Electra” hadn't a competitor in the field. Anticipation is made further trou- blesome by the fact that sometimes, | as was the case last year, the award is given a play not selected by the jury. Such reversals made prize win- ners of “Hell Bent for Heaven” and “‘Men in White,” when the nominee: were, respectively, “The Show-off | and “Mary of Scotland.” Nevertheless there are a few plays which must receive serious condition the Prize | That | from the prize jury, chief of which is | Lilian Hellman's “The Children’s | Hour.” Judging by their reviews, it | is far and away the critics’ choice, but | there are those who believe its theme | of unnatural love will disqualify it. | The fact that it was banned in Lon- don this week does not help matters. “The Petrified Forest” is & strong contender, further strengthened in that its author, Robert Sherwood, is | deserving of recognition for past bril- | liant work in the theater. Two plays | of the Group Theater, producers of last year's winner, are highly re- garded. They are “Awake and Sing” and “Gold Eagle Buy.” S. N. Behr- man, like Sherwood, is to be consid- ered for past performances quite as much as for his current work, “Rain From Heaven.” That, too, would be a popular award. “Valley Forge” Is Contender. | Maxwell Anderson’s “Valley Forge” and “Merrily We Roll Along” from the pens of George Kaufman and Moss Hart are contenders, but are not con- sidered as strong in the running. The same may be said of “The Jay Hawk- ‘ er,” by Sinclair and Lloyd Lewis. | It is quite possible that “The Old Maid,” a dramatization of an Edith ‘Wharton story, will get important con- sideration. After a faltering start it has won a firm following. Ordinarily such frolicsome things as | “Personal Appearance” and “Three | Men on a Horse” would be rejected as |too trivial, but never knowing how | frolicsome the jury is going to be ;lhe)' must be mentioned. And in further safety there must be kept in mind that hilarious musical show, | “Anything Goes.” 5. A.R. TOPREPARE FOR ANNIVERSARY D. C. Society to Make Ar- rangements at Meeting Wednesday Night.
