Policeman Accidentally Kills
His Host i'm Joke Over Pistol

Theodore Gies, wealthy builder, of
New Hyde Park, L. l., was accidentally
shot and killed in the dining room of
his home yesterday afternoon by
Patrolman Joseph L. HofStadt, Of Mas
peth, Queens. The shooting occurred in
the presence of Gies's wife, her brother
and a friend who had accompanied
Hofstadt To the Gies home.
After an inquiry by the coroner Hof-
stadt was released on his own recog-
nizance. He has been attached to the
Greenpoint police station for the last
nine years.
According to Coroner Walter R
Jones, of Hampstead, Hofstadt, accom-
panied by friend, Andrew j. Lutz
went to New Hyde Park to call on Gies
Before entering the builders home
they entered building which Gies was
constructing across the street from his
home. They prowled around the build.
ing for several moments before going
to the Gies home.
At the door the two men were met BY

around my house and for moment I
thought you were couple of crooks.
It's lucky for you I didn't have q gun,
or might have taken crack at you"
"Oh. I don't know about that" Hof-
stadt is said to have replied, with q
laugh, because I have one" And with
this he is said to have drawn his re-
volver.
According to those questioned by the
coroner, he had no sooner leveled the
weapon that it was discharged. The
builder put his hands to his neck.
"Are you shot?" asked his wife.
Without answering Gies sank to the
floor. A physician, summoned from a
nearby house, pronounced Gies dead
The bullet entered his neck.
Mrs. Gies was so overcome that she
was unable to make any statement tc
the coroner. Hofstadt also was over
come. He had known Gies for nearly
ten years, it was said.
Gies was thirty-fve years old. He was
we'll known as builder in Mineola anc
Hyde Park. Beside his wife, he is sur
vived by two children.

Prohibition Is Too Violent,

U. S., Says Mrs. Asquith,
Back From Lecture Tour
Finds Trains Abominable
Worse in Canada, However,
and Ottawa Ugliest City
She Saw; TO Visit West

Mrs. Margot Asquith, alert and keen
as before but seemingly with much
less desire to record observations with
a sharp verbal point than when she
stepped from the Carmania few
weeks ago, returned last night to the
Hotel Ambassador from a swing around
her first lecture circuit The audiences
were generally splendid, she said. and
in Chicago it was marvellous one, but
American railway trains are abom-
Unable and the Canadian ones arc
worse.
Mrs. Asquith wished particularly to
deny the published report that there
had been any discourtesy shown her in
Ottawa. She had called at Governm ent
House and put her name in the visitors
book, and in return had received cards
and "a very sweet letter" from the
Governor General and Lady Byng at
Chateau Lauricr. The Byngs OK
planned that they had just arrived in
Ottawa from Montreal and that their
staff had not yet prepared Government
House for guests.
The most remarkable man Mrs. AS
quith has met thus far on the Ameri-
can Continent Is Premier Mackenzie
King of Canada. And the most beauti-
full woman is the Countess Minotto,
whom Mrs. Asquith met in Chicago.
Sees Much Drinking on Sly
Although she found her audiences
warm and sympathetic in both the
United States and Canada, discovered
Ottawa to be the ugliest and dullcst
place she was ever in, was SO besieged
by her enthusiastic Toronto audience
that she was reminded of the Paisley
elections, the outstanding feature of
the trip, and one that Mrs. Asquith
seemed continually to refer to in Won
derment is--prohibition.
In America she believes there is GER
tainly too much interference with a
person. 1t gave to surreptitious drink
ing the piquancy OF stolen apples, she
said 1t has set a fashion for drinking
among young men and girls that caused
her to unfurl the standard of Light
wines and beers" In Chicago, New
York and other American cities women
were seen apparently getting "balmy'

man or woman in England-it isn't

that while prohibition had seemed a
fine thing at first, upon closer OBJ
servation she cannot think it good.

DUBLIN, March 5.---The Free State
supporters to-day began their campaign
to defeat republicanism in Ireland and
to win support of the Irish people at
the polls for the treaty with England
Despite pouring rain all enorm Gus
crowd about the old Parliament house
welcomed Michael Collins and Arthur
Griffith, heads of the Free State gov
ernment, who delivered stirring speeches
in support Of the treaty. The gather
republican rally that Eamon de Valera
held here three weeks ago, but the size
of the crowd was not so great, perhaps
because of the bad weather.
Destroy the Free State and you de-
stroy the hope of united Ireland" de-
clared Collins in his keynote address,
He assailed those who were demanding
a republic, "now that the treaty has
MADE it safe for them to do So" If
the Free State were established. Collins
said, union Of north and south OF Ire
land was certain. He asserted that the
forces Of persuasion and pressure en-
bodied in the treaty were bound to
bring in Ulster. If Ulster came in, he
continued, it would have control OF Its
own area, but if it stayed out, the north
would be subject to the restrlction,s
of. the Home Rule act Of 1920, which
could not be removed without the con-
sent of the Free State.
Strike Menace to Free State
On the other hand, Collins said, II
Irish disunion interfered with the eVac-
uation of British troops the. existence
of the Free State would be threatened,
and so long as there was hope that II
might be destroyed Ulster would have
an incentive for staying out.
CoIj;ns's. speech was full of striking
points and made great hit with his
audience. After the meeting, Colilns
told the Tribune correspondent that ne ne
was greatly pleased with !,: me suppHhls pths

 You may have noted that Benjamin Block owns two thoroughbred race horses, in addition to Norwich. You may have noted, also, that neither gets any more action than a first. class paralytic, He will tell you that Mawcorren can step some and that leggy looking lilly Mormaw is conner, sure enough. But the matter goes no further.
 The answer? Simple as a school. girls faith. Because of Morvich's un- precedented success the Block colors have yet to be lowered on any race track, and the good gentleman feels that he would not be playing fair with himself in allowing such an unto ward fate to overtake him. There fore, Mawcorren and Mormaw re main in the stables to run up expen sive feed bills.
 Block is a comparatively newcomer in the racing game, else he would realize the sublime futility of trying to dodge not only what is coming tC him but what, candidly, is just bit overdone.

 EARTH TRACED
 BY MACHINE

WASHINGTON, June 9-Computa- tion of the seismographic records to determine the point of origin of an earthquake, though not as yet de- veloped to it's highest point of eff ciency is nevertheless nearest attained in the seismographic tower of George town University here of any place in the country.
 Six giant machines, each holding tiny delicate needle, which are fed black ink through a microscopic aper ture, move with ouija-like weirdness across clean white chart in concert with the extraordinary movements of the earth, however far away the move ment may originate.
 There are three major motions to be computed in the analyzation of an earthquake. They are lateral, longi- tudinal and the complex. They are re- corded usually in quick succession of each other and in the order stated. The movement of the ground waves is identical with the spread of rip turbed by the casting of rock upon the calm waters. The ground waves radiate in increasing size from the point of origin and die out only when they have encircled the entire earth, even as water ripples move on till they strike the banks of the river.
 REQUIRE GREAT ExACTNEsS
 The determination of the origin of the quake cannot be made from one of these records alone. A guess is all that can be hazarded on the first rec ord All three are necessary to de- termine the birthplace of the temblor, and then it is often far away from the point analysed by the machines, though seldom out of direction computed.
 The readings of the three charts re- quire great mathematical exactness and an intimate knowledge of geology ana seismology. The complex waves are most difficult to determine be- cause they are recorded in the midst of maze of minor movements and must be ferreted out from the maze.
 There is no manner of determining whether a quake occurred north or south of the seismographic tower. East and West can be determined, but the poles are indeterminate.
 The master seismologist of George" town University, the Rev, Father Francis Tondorf, s. J., M. D., pos sesses alone among seismologists secret for determining the north and south directions of quake origins. His compilations are among the closest ever made. He pursues his scientific way in the tower on Georgetown Uni versity, preferring not to take the out side world into his confidence. He is, however the author of numerous sci entific works and is accorded the laurel by his fellow scientists.

IT'S A QUEER WORLD!

CAMBRIDGE, June 9.-Whats fair in war is fair in football may become a new version of an older axiom. In his report to President Lowell, Dean LeBaron R. Briggs, of the Harvard athletic committee, points out the danger of airplane spies from a rival grdiron gaining information of se- cret plays. The dean may or may not be joking, but there appears nothing to prevent scouts from the enemy camp registering the secret practice of their rivals on motion picture camera film flying over the field.
