ter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Parmely Her
rick, and their son, Parmely, Jr.
CRUISER SPEEDS BODY HERE.
Tourvllle Is Expected at New York Next
Saturday.
BREST, Prance, April 8 C/P).—The
cruiser Tourvllle, newest and finest of
the French Navy, is bearing the body
of Ambassador Myron T. Herrick back
to his homeland. Amid a salute of 19
guns the cruiser steamed out of this
port at 11:30 a.m. and headed for
i New York at a speed timed touring her
there a week from today.
The cruiser was already 100 miles out
on the gray Atlantic when William
Scott, third secretary of the embassy,
i who Is the only American accompany
ing the body, radioed. "Words cannot
i express the gratitude that Mr. Herrick’s
family and myself feel for the god
j speed of France.’’
Rear-Admiral Pirot. commander of
the port of Brest, sent a message In
reply, saying:
"The Ambassador was one of us. He
, lives forever in the history of France.”
France Pays Eloquent Tribute.
The body of the Ambassador arrived
by train early yesterday morning from
i Paris, where the most eloquent tributes
In the power of the French were paid
the man who before 1914 and after had
; brought them the friendship of a sister
, nation and who had refused to abandon
! his post in the face of the dangers of
the early days of the war.
i The Colonial Infantry Battalion Band
1 played "La Mort Dase” as the cortege,
headed by a platoon of mounted Repub
-4 lican Guards, started toward the harbor.
A stop was made on the Avenue Presi-
I dent Wilson, where a navy band played
"The Star Spangled Banner” with muf
fled drums and muted Instruments.
1 Again the American anthem and "Aux
Champs” were heard at the pier as
i the body was taken aboard the gunboat
Dolmen. As this vessel stood out across
the harbor the soldiers on the pier
saluted and civilians bared their heads
while the crew of the Tourvllle formed
on deck.
Commandante J. M. C. Abrial, cap
tain of the Tourvllle, accepted his charge
with the words:
"In the name of my country I salute
the body of a friend of France. He is
now in my charge and will reach
America safely."
As the coffin was deposited on the
deck of the cruiser the ship’s band
changed from Chopin's funeral march
to "The Star Spangled Banner.” Six
French sailors bore the coffin into the 1
"ardent chapel,” where it will be under
continuous guard by two French sailors
until New York is reached.
The cruiser will proceed at half speed,
•o as not to reach New York ahead of 1
the liner Aquitania, which will bring
Mrs. Parmley Herrick, daughter-in-law 1
of the Ambassador, and some of his :
friends.

lution in the Legislature requesting Con
gress to call a constitutional convention

GROOKE FUNERAL
SET FOR MONDAY
Base Ball Umpire Who Died
.From Bus Crash Injuries
Played With Washington.
Funeral services for Thomas A.
Crooke, 45, of 1302 D street southeast,
base ball umpire and former profes
sional player, who died yesterday from
injuries sustained in a bus accident near
Quantlco, Va., Thursday night, will be
held Monday morning at 9 o’clock In
the Holy Comforter Catholic Church.
Burial will be in Mount Olivet Ceme
tery.
Mr. Crooke is survived by his widow,
Mrs. Nora M. Crooke, and four daugh
ters —Thelma, Elizabeth, Louise and
Madeline.
Crooke had served as an umpire in
the International, Pacific Coast and Old
Virginia Leagues and in the last few
years officiated in many college games.
He once was a member of the Washing
ton team as a player and spent several
seasons with various minor league clubs.
Members of the local Base Ball Um
pires* Association plan to attend the
funeral in a body.
The Washington Motor Coach Co.,
owners of the bus, are still investigating
the circumstances of the accident, but
say that it does not appear to have
been due to negligence or speeding.
The four other persons seriously in
jured in the accident were reported to
day to be considerably improved. The
chief surgeon at Quantico reported this
morning that John Russell, student
manager of the Cornell base ball team,
which had chartered the bus; H. W.
Faggert, driver of the conveyance, and
John Haddock, assistant coach, passed
a restful night. At Emergency Hos
pital, Frank Sheehan, trainer of the
team, was said not to have a fractured
skull, as was first suspected, and to be
well on the road to recovery.

New York police Thursday arrested
three men looked on Nickey Amstein
yesterday and failed to Identify him and
a pal, but did identify a third man. The
three were held for examination today.
After 100 masked detectives had sat

Amstein and Field were cleared, at
least so far as Kearns was concerned,
but later Magistrate Witale ordered the
two men held without ball for exami

from justice. He set ball of $25,000 for
Donnelly.

VIRGINIANS SETTLE
PATRONAGE STATUS
j First Step of Hoover Regime
to Reform G. 0. P. in South
Seen in Action.
Br the Associated Press.
The status of Republican patronage
in Virginia was settled yesterday at a
conference between Virginia Republican
leaders, Postmaster General Brown and
Walter Newton, administrative secretary
to President Hoover.
C. Bascom Slemp, former secretary to
President Coolidge and a leading Re
publican in Virginia, announced after
the meeting it had been decided that
patronage in the second. Seventh and
ninth congressional districts would be
referred to the Representatives from
those districts, who are Republicans, and
that other matters would be referred to
the State Republican committee.
Others who attended the conference
were: Representatives Lankford, Oarber
and Shaffer; R. H. Angeil of Roanoke,
Republican national committeeman;
Col. Henry W. Anderson of Richmond,
State chairman of the national commit
tee: Lee Rand of Roanoke, secretary of
the State Republican committee; James
Francis Burke, general counsel of the
Republican national committee, and
James Crupper of Norfolk, former
chairman of the State Republican com
mittee.
Mr. Slemp declared that the meeting
had been “eminently satisfactory to all
concerned” and that ’’there was not a
discordant note sounded.”
The settlement of the Virginia pa
tronage question was considered here
as the first step of the Hoover adminis
tration toward carrying out the an
nounced purpose of the President to
reform the Republican party in the
South. It is expected that leading Re
publicans from other Southern States
will soon follow the footsteps of the
Virginians.

Reply to British Inquiry as
to Byrd Not Decided by
State Department.
By the Associated Press.
The State Department has before it
the question whether it shall reply to
a British communication several months
old which, while giving Comdr. Byrd
permission to use British-claimed ter
ritory in the Antarctic, sets forth that
Great Britain had sovereignty over cer
tain lands in that area.
There has been no decision as to the
necessity of a reply by the American
Government and there are no indica
tions that any early action was con-'
templated.
The announcement last February
that Comdr. Byrd had discovered some
new lands in the Antarctic brought out
the fact that International law lays
down the precept that discoveries tm eh
as made by Byrd and his predecessors
of American, British. Norwegian and
other nationality in the Antarctic es
tablish a claim for the nation in whose
name the discovery is made but do not
constitute a permanent right to the
land discovered. How far the discov
ery of an unsettled land gives a right
to it, one international authority says,
is a question which neither the law
nor the usages of nations has yet
definitely settled.
The British government heretofore
has taken the position that a discovery
made by a private individual, in the
prosecution of a private enterprise gives
no right.
Unofficially it was said here at the
time of the announcement of Comdr.
Byrd’s' discovery that if the question
of validity as to the claim to the land
for the United States should arise it
probably would be settled by an inter
national arbitration commission.
FEW CLUES FOUND
IN TORSO MYSTERY
Loi Angeles Police Continue Search
for Kissing Parts of Girl's Body
Taken From River.

LOS ANGELES, Calif., April 6.—Few
clues that might lead to a solution
of the mysterious slaying of a girl whose
dismembered torso was washed to the
bank of the Los Angeles River near
Compton, a suburb, were found by po
lice yesterday.
An autopsy disclosed that the young
woman was not an expectant mother,
as had at first been believed.
Investigation was divided into three
phases:
A search for the head and limbs,
which the autopsy revealed had been
severed by an expert, and which might
lead to identification of the body; a
search through the records of the miss
ing persons buredb, and the pursuit of
mysterious “tips” which led searchers
for a “fiend slayer’’ to the stoek yards
district and to the motion picture col
ony In Hollywood.
John Manriquez. who with his son
discovered the torso near the hank of
the Los Angeles River when it bobbed
up before the lights of his eat last
night, was held pending investigation.
Police said the body was that of a
young woman between 15 and 32 years
of age, of medium build. The autopsy
revealed that the body had been dis
membered after death, and then thrown
into the river.

■ —
Storage Company President
Appointed Chairman of Com
mittee on Administration.
Clarence A. Aapinwail, president of
the Security Storage Co., has been
named aa chairman of a special com
mittee on administration for the Com
j munity Cheat, according to .an an
nouncement yesterday by President
I Frederic A. Delano of the eheat. The
other members of the committee are
Robert V. Fleming, president of Riggs
National Bank; John Foote, president
of the Federal-American National Bank,
and George Hutchinson, associate sec
retary of the National Geographic So
ciety. The committee will advise with
Elwood Street, director of the chest, on
details of the management of the chest
office, 1418 I street.
This committee was named, accord
ing to President Dgkuio, for the pur
pose of assuring all possible economies
of operation in the collection and dis
tribution of funds by the Community
Chest and in the preparation and con
duct of the annual campaign.
Budget Is Proposed.
The chest, with an office force and
definite work to be done, , will have a
budget exactly as has each of the 57
agencies affiliated with it. It will be
expected to keep within this budget
both in total and In details of expense,
which are expected jo be kept down to
8 per cent or less of the total funds col
lected for all expenses, Including cam
paign and administration. This com
pares with the 15 to -30 per cent cost
of conducting a separate campaign by
the affiliated agencies, President Delano
points out.
“This committee will bring wide ex
perience to bear on the specific prob
lems of management of the Community
Chest office," President Delano said.
“It will relieve the executive committee
and the board of trustees of general
consideration of chest policies."
Committee Duty Outlined.
Among the questions which the com
mittee will work out and present to
the executive committee for approval
are all purchases of office equipment;
number of employes, their duties and
salaries; office methods, office space and
office arrangement; general plans and
schedules of work to be done with a
view to eliminating all unnecessary ef
fort and planning the whole procedure
on the most economical and effective
possible basis. Monthly meetings will
be held and' special meetings when
necessary.
“We hope with the aid of this com
mittee to put the operation of the
Washington Community Chest oh the
most economical and effective bads of
any community chest in the country,
so that every possible penny may be
saved for actual service to these in
need,” President . Delano said.

farming conditions were all but closed
yesterday and the Senate and House
agriculture committees started prepar
ations to draft a measure for consid
eration by the special session of Con
gress.
The House committee completed the
taking of testimony late yesterday, but
the Senate committee still has a few
witnesses to hear before it gets down
to business in executive session. These
are expected to testify within the next
few days.
Wark far Sabeammtttaa.
The task of writing the new bill on
the House side will fall to a subcom
mittee, a majority of which has express
ed a desire to prepare a measure in
line with administration views. On the
Senate side the new Mil will be writ
ten by the full committee and here
again. Chairman MeNary to satisfied
that he has sufficient support to bring
out a measure in accord with recom
mendations made by Secretary Hyde.
As the hearings approached a close
yesterday administration leaders were
convinced the new MU would follow
closely that introduced last Pan by
Senator MeNary, which was indorsed
at that time by the then Secretary of
Agriculture, William M. Jardine, and
this week by Secretary Hyde. Some
changes are contemplated, but their
scope to considered of only incidental
importance and not such as will alter
the general plan proposed by the Me-
Nary Mil.
Pam Board Daties.
Under this measure the monumental
job of regulating the vast industries on
the farms in such away as to bring
more efficient methods and a resultant
increasing income, would fall to a Fed
eral farm board of six members and
the Secretary of Agriculture. Some
committee members believe the board
should consist of 12, but whether this
increase will be suggested in the bill
brought out at either side at the Cap
itol has not been made clew.
The board would be provided with a
revolving fund of $200,000,000 from the
Treasury to make loans to stabilisation
corporations with which to buy, store
and sell crops so as to prevent the sur
plus from lowering the price, and com
modity councils would be created to ad
vise the producers of the various crops
on efficient and economical principles
of production and marketing. .

PERSHING TALKED
OF FOR PARIS POST
General Name Added to List
of Distinguished Pos
sibilities.
Br the Associated Press.
_ The possibility that Oen. John J.
Pershing may become the next Ambas
sador to France has been injected into
the unofficial speculation which diways
thrives In Washington when an ap
pointment of such importance is pend
ing.
His name has been added mysteri
ously to the list of distinguished public
men already mentioned for the post,
which includes such figures as Frank B.
Kellogg, until recently Secretary of
State; Dwight F. Davis, former Secre
tary of War, and Henry P. Fletcher.
Ambassador at Rome.
I An Idol of France.
The point emphasized in the discus
sion of Gen. Pershing is that, as a Worll
War hero of both America and France,
he occupies a position in the affections
of the two peoples similar to that of the
| late Ambassador Myron T. Herrick.
Furthermore, it to reasoned, if former
Vice President Dawes should accept the
Ambassadorship to Great Britain, selec
tion of another important World War
figure to go to France would provide the
kind of balance for the two appoint
ments which the administration is sup
posed to desire.
Gen. Pershing has frequently revisited
. France since he was there as commander
of America’s war forces and he was one
of the speakers at the funeral services
in Paris for Mr. Herrick, whose body is
i to be brought to America aboard the
French cruiser Tourville.
Honors Paid by France.
The honors paid by France to the late
Ambassador have brought a public ex
gression of appreciation from President
toover, and the Navy Department has
ordered two American light cruisers to
meet the funeral ship as it approaches
New York. The cruisers will be brought
up from Guantanamo Bay for the
service.
The President, meanwhile, is expected
by many to wait until after the funeral
services for Mr. Herrick in this country
before making any announcement with
respect to appointment of his successor.
POLICE KILL SLAYER.
LINZ, Austria, April 6 OP).—Dr. Rob
ert Eichhoff, prominent physician and
brother of a former Austrian minister
to Prance, yesterday shot and killed a
court official and soon afterward he
himself was shot dead by police. He
was official medical officer of the Wei
zenklrchen district.
The courts recently had ordered that
a guardian be appointed to look after
his affairs. Just as a court official was
about to hand him the document de
claring him incompetent to administer
hto affairs Dr. Eichhoff shot him. The
doctor then barricaded himself in his
house and maintained a fusillade of
shots until he was killed.
