CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Jan. IL
Public attention from over all the
country has been directed to Rad
cnffe College. the women's annex
OF Harvard University, by the mys-
FERROUS shooting of Mary Trask. q
prominent senior, now lowering near
death In the Cambridge Hospital.
The extraordinary circumstances of
the shooting have prompted an in
quiry to ascertain whether the condi.
ton revealed involves other persons.
Miss Trask is asserted to have
shot herself in a fit of despondency
over what she evidently regarded as
the cooling affection OF Miss Sallle
Clifford. of White Plains. a fellow
student.
Writes Note to Girl.
Just before firing bullet into her
head, Mary. who was known a.
Dickie to her intimates, wrote this
letter to Sally:

Trask. mother Of the wounded stu.
dent. hurried to the hospital from
Philadelphia on receiving news of
the shooting. She declined to offer
any explanation of her daughters
deed.
Miss Clifford also declined to discuss
1t. The identity or the Lucy" men
toned in the letter has not vet been
ascertained. Miss Clifford and Miss
Trask were roommates in whiteman
Hall and were commonly considered
to hace a crush" on each other In
student phraseology. For months
they had been virtually inseparable.

The college authorities, disregard

It was not even admitted that the girl

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, November 1S.-
At the suggestion of Judge Edward
c. Peter in the circuit court here to-
day, States Attorney Thomas l..
Dawson will at once communicate
with Attorney General Armstrong and
endeavor to have him interest himself
in an effort to bring about better CO.
operation on the part of the District
of Columbia authorities in regard to
the return to Maryland for trial of
persons charged with criminal Of
fenses. States Attorney Dawson may
also, he intimated. take the matter
up with Gov. Ritchie.
AS the docket was being called over
and cases set for trial at the crimi-
nal term, which begins here next
Thursday. States Attorney Dawson
announced that he would not be
ready to try the cases at the ap-
Milton S. Cooley and Mrs. katherine
Neeley, under Indictment for betting
on horse races, for the reason that
Mrs. Neeley is resisting eXtradition In
the District of Columbia courts and
that the final determination of the
case. which. he said. has already been
pending a year. might be delayed in
definitely. This led Judge Peter to
remark that there should be better
cooperation between the authorities
of the District and those of Mary
land, and prompted the suggestion
that the states attorney take steps
to have some plan agreed upon to
hasten the delivery of criminals for
trial.
Keleher. Cooley and Mrs Neeley
were arrested in June, 1921, when
Mrs. Neeley's home. at Chevy Chase
known as the House of Mystery"
was raided by a squad of Montgom-
cry county officers. The place IL is
said. was equipped for receiving and
recording bets on horse races. Kele-
her and Cooley furnished bail for
their appearance for trial, and Mrs
Neeley was released on her persona,
recognizance. When she refused to
come to Rockville foV trial at the No
vember term of court, 1921, States
Attorney Dawson instituted extradi-
ton proceedings. The trio We're in
dicted jointly. and States Attorney
Dawson is not willing to go to trial
until all are in court.

Committee Asks Quick Grant Of
$2,9s0,150 to Train $4,000
Men Next Year.
SUMMER CAMPS UPHELD

War Department plans for foster
ing the training of young men In
tcitizenship were approved yesterday
by the conference on training the
youth of the country called by Sec
retary Weeks. A committee of seven
was provided for in a resolution
adopted, with instructions to urge
upon Congress the necessity for
greater appropriations to continue
the work.
The meeting. which worked in
three sections, adjourned yesterday
after receiving reports and recon-
mendations on citizenship training,
the reserve officers training corps
and the citizens military training
camps. Among the committee rec
omme ndations was one urging i'm
mediate appropriation of $2.9S0,l5O
for the training of $4,000 men in
civilian military training camps next
summer. Last year it was said the
appropriation was made for these
camps only two weeks before they
were to open, with a consequent loss
of interest among men who expected
to attend.
A campaign to awaken the student
to sense of his obligation as a
citizen, which includes his military
training, was recommended by the
committee on reserve officers train
ing camps. The committee on citi-
zenS military training camps recon-
mended three sets of training courses
designed to fit students as privates
in an emergency army, as non-com-
missloned officers for training pur-
poses and as officers in an emergency
army.
The committee on citizenship train
ing reported that the right solution
of the problem of preparedness and
national defense is people men,
tally alert. morally upright and ply
sically fit: and that only from a Just
solution of the educational, industrial
and social questions of the day will
we grow to be one united nation,
sound in heart and head and hand"
Representatives of educational in
stitutions and associations. welfare
and physical training associations
ana others composed the civilian sec
ton of the conference.

ing thoroughly into the problem and
