him a pushmobile and a suit of clothes.
The child is in an isolation camp on

ates are adult members OF the leper
colony; The little boy leads lonely

most acceptable would be sweaters,
woolen shirts, gloves and caps for tu-

asks toys, dolls, trains, blocks and
nursery books. Sleeping garments,
slippers and stockings were desired
for patients of all ages. Offerings
should be sent to Commissioner Cope

man of Fairfield into the death of DR.
Elizabeth Lillian Radon, found dead
on the Beach Road, Fairfield, Sunday
morning, declared last night evidence
had been discovered to justify belief
that DR.. Radon did not die where her
body was found. Constable Elwood
said:

Following verdict OF suicide agreed
on by Medical Examiner Donaldson and
Coroner John J. Phelan, Prosecutor
Wakeman said he was dissatisfied with
the verdict and would continue his in
vestigation. While admitting that, so
far, he had no proof that there had
been foul play, the prosecutor said
there were circumstances of so mys-
terious s. nature that he did not feel
justified in letting the injury drop. DR.,

of the medical examiner is that DR.

World Drive on Drugs
Urged i'm House Measure
u. S. Arms Delegates Would BE
Asked to Initiate Farley to
SUPPRESS Sale
From me Trs6une's Washinoton Bureau

F'om The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.---The Ameri-
can delegates to the arms limitation
conference would be requested, under a
joint resolution introduced to-day in the
House by Representative Julius Kahn,
Of California, chairman of the Military
Affairs Committee, to initiate an inter
national conference for the suppression
of the manufacture and transportation
of opium and other drugs.
Since the World War, the resolution
declares. the manufacture and trans
portation of habit-forming drugs into
China through the postoitice has resulted
in q large increase in the use of these
drugs. The measure also calls attention
to the Hague agreement of January 23,
1921, for stopping the traffic. Continu-
ing, it says:
ait is the sense Of the Congress of
the United States that every effort
should be made by tho government of
the United States to induce every civil
lied nation to prevent the manufacture
and transportation Of opium. morphine,
cocaine and other habit-forming drugs,
together with their respective salts or
other dcrivatives."
The resolution was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Compensation Insurance
Rate Is To Be Uniform
Commissioners Agree to Basic
Charge in States, Regard
less of Dividends

At yesterdays session Of the Ma
tional Convention of Insurance Com
missioners, in progress at the Hotel
Astor, the resolution making as nearly
level as possible base rates in the
separate states for workmen's compen-
sation insurance was adopted.
The committee in charge of drafting
the resolution listened to arguments
most of the day. Among them was one
that increased rates had been per-
mitted in Massachusetts in order that
the companies might assure the policy
holders their dividends.
AS the resolution stands all carriers
OF workmen's compensation insurance
will work under uniform base rates in
their respective states without guar
anty of the payment of dividends by
any mutual or participating company
The effect will be to establish prac-
tical uniformity Of workmens compen-
sation insurance rates.

Amateurs Trying to Phone
To England by Wireless
Tests Will Be Conducted for
Ten Days Under Direction
of Hiram p. Maxim

Radio amateurs throughout the coun-
try, under the direction of Hiram Percy
Maxim, began an organized effort to
communicate with England last night
by means Of wireless telephony. The
tests will be conducted over a period
of ten days, with station in England
which was erected by Paul Cooley. a
member of the American Radio Relay
League, who went to England specially
for the tests. If successful it will be
the first time the Atlantic has been
bridged by amateur wireless apparatus.
On the eve Of the tests the Radio
Club of America published the result
of an investigation that has been car
ried on for a year into the report that
two residents of Aberdeen, Scotland,
heard the wireles telephone station Of
Hugh Robinson at Keyport, N. j.. on
the night of October G, 1920. This re-
port was widely published at the time,
but the investigation shows that it was
entirely incorrect
The investigation was made by a spe-
cisl committee of the club consisting
of E. H. Armstrong. A. A. Herbert and
L. G. Pacent. Fortv-two exhibits &C
company their findings. In theil report
after showing that the communlcati On
never occurred, the committee says:
"Let us state here that we do not
question that the original letter of
Mr.. Benzie was given to the press by
Mr.. Robinson in good faith. We have
no doubt on that point whatever, but
we are unable to state On what basis
the letter Of Messrs. Benzie and Miller
was written, and in view of the fact
that at the times they allege reccp-

Macarthur to Give
Self Up in Jersey
And Offer Alibi
Counsel Insists Artist Will
Prove He Was on Ship
With Prominent Persons
on Day of Alleged Attack

Emil Fuchs, counsel for Alexander
Macarthur, adopted son Of John R.
Macarthur, said yesterday that the
young artist would return to New
Jersey voluntarily to answer the
charges made against him there by
two women. Evidence already was at
hand, Mr.. Fuchs said, to prove an alibi
for him on both charges.
"My investigation has shown" said
the attorney, "that Macarthur was not
even in the State Of New JERSEY on
either of the days that the women as
sert they swere attacked. October TO-,
the day Of the assault on Mrs. Helen
my client was OH board chip with
some prominent persons Of this city
who will be produced at the trial"
Some of the methods used in pre-
pairing the case against Macarthur
were revealed yesterday by authorities IS
Of Essex County, N. j., and Chief of
Police Ryno of Cedar Grove.
81 Immediately made out list of
every man in the community who might
have committed the crime" said Chief
Of Police Ryno, whose Rrandniece is
one of the women who identified young
Macarthur as her assailant. "MacAr-

descriptions were worked against this
list and suspects eliminated. The de-
scriptions all fitted Macarthur
II also succeeded in tracing the
movements Of every person on that list
but Macarthur. l remembered his ap-
pesrance and fitted it at once with the
descriptions, but took every care to
trace all under suspicion"
Captain Walter Godfrey, Of the de-
tective force of J. Henry Harrison, Es-
sex County Prosecutor. said it was un-
true and unfair to say that the iden-
tifcation Of Macarthur by the two
women was due to the fact that q
| photograph of the young man had been
shown to them.
Before the lineup at Police Head
quarters where they picked out the
young artist the women had picked his
photograph out of collection of q
dozen photographs as that of the man
who had attacked them, said Captain
Godfrey.
Prosecutor Harrison said that the
case would not receive precedence, but
would come UP in the usual routine.

munity hysteria," he said. II can sec
no reason for giving the case n specia
