LINEMAN'S DEATH INQUEST TODAY Charles Eller, Pepco Work- man, Was Electrocuted on Pole Late Yesterday. An inquest was to be held today in the case of Charles Eller, 35, of 1365 Fuclid street, who was instantly killed yesterday when he came into coniact with a 4.000-voit electric wire on a pole at Thirty-eighth and Garrison streets. Eller had been employed by the Potomac Electric Power Co. for about nine years. Eller, according to fellow workmen, had completed work on the pole and was starting down to put his tools away before quitting time, 3:30 p.m. As he began the descent, his foot slipped and he instinctively reached out and grabbed the live wire. Pellow workmen, led by W. B. Kin- 612 Fifteenth street, immedi- ran up the pole and cut the wire, but Eller was dead when lowered to the ground. He was in contact with the wire for only about 30 seconds, Kingrey said. The leather glove on Eller's hand was burned to a crisp. Kingrey, who had descended the pole only a minute before and was waiting on the ground for Eller, said the Jatter's left spur slipped. causing him to lose his balance. His right spur stuck, however, and kept him from falling after he had touched the wire Those besides Kingrey wha sted in bringing down the body were Moody Sanders, foreman, of 2616 Fourth street northeast; Walter Hudson, Capitol Heights. Md.: Theodore Brooks, 900 C street northeast. and Charles Black. 223 Longfellow street. Eller is survived by his widow, Mrs. Clara Eller, and a son.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 6.—Ad- herence to the American “spirit and practice of self - government” was urged last night by Albert C. Ritchie to hurl back a challenge of Fascism and Socialism. The former Maryland Governor, & leading Democrat, cam> here to pre- side at a session of the American Academy ot Political and Social Sci- ence. Fascism, Soclalism and “the | future of democracy” were on the program for discussion. Ritchie said that out of the recent | economic upheaval had emerged defi- | nite threats of Fascism and Socialism | and that the prevalence of either | would defeat the “American theory of democracy.” Revolutionary Times Noted. He termed the presen: a “period of revolution,” saying: “Twenty-three millions or more of idle people, all living on Government relief, constitute to themselves a rev- olutionary condition just as definitely | as war and bloodshed could consti- tute one.” He said that there were maladjust- ments and inadequacies calling out | for correction, but that, through it all, there should be recognition of the American principle that existing in| the people is “sovereign power su- perior to Government * * * wherein governmental authority itself was granted and defined, circumscribed and limited.” Science Seen Aid. | “The spirit of modern science,” he said, “should be applied to politics— the spirit that examines, criticizes, experiments and then constructs; the progressive and creative spirit. But we must also be enlightened enough to see that continued progress along | mistaken lines always means danger, and sometimes worse.” | EXPERIENCES TOLD BY MRS.

The wife of a public official must make up her mind to enjoy what comes to her; she cannot go out and | choose what she will enjoy, Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt confessed to a radio audience in an address last night. | She related some of her personal | experiences during the long public career of the President. While Mr. | Roosevelt was in the New York Legis- lature, she said. the Roosevelt family iibrary was an assembly room for his colleagues. “When it was getting late” she sald, “I would go and get beer and cheese and crackers and make one of the men help me with the trays. That would be the signal for them to break up and go home. This lasted for | many weeks and tobacco smoke per- | meated the room above the library, | which happened to be the two older | children’s nursery, so that I had to | | move the children to a room on the third floor. The President's wife also divulged the secret of the little silver call-bell always on her table. It gives vital conversation precedence over food .t | the Roosevelt table. She started using | it when her husband was Assistant | Secretary of the Navy, bringing prob- | iems and people homé to his short | lunch.
