State Police May Be Called In
to Higgins Case-Rumored
Teeth Have Fled.
ny w. O. McGEEHAN.

No solution of the mystery of the
missing molars was reached yester-
day. Miller Huggins, manager OF the
Yankees, whose teeth disappeared
Friday, is still in precarious condi-
ton and IL is feared that the teeth
have met with foul play. They have
not yet been caught in the dragnet.
Later bulletins indicated slight
turn for the better In the condition OF
the Yankee manager, who is being
artificially fed by Colonel Jacob Rup-
pert. president of tho Yankees.
Colonel Tillinghast L'IIommedieu
Huston. always an advocate of drastic
measures, persists that it would be
better for all concerned to shoot the
manager in order to end his suffer-
ings in the most humane and practi-
cal manner
Detectives who are working on tho
case have been baffled at every turn.
Working on the clew that Huggins had
visited the six day bicycle race at
Madison Square Garden prior to the
disappearance of the teeth. the sleuths
brought into headquarters some parts
OF sandwiches which were taken to the
tooth print bureau. Tooth prints from
the sandwiches were obtained for com
parison with the prints OF the missing
teeth, but this line of investigation had
TO be postponed. as it was learned that
Miller Huggins never had any tooth
prints taken.

Against All transforming.

Against All BarnstOrmtng.
One of the questions which will be
submitted to the joint meeting of the
majors is the transforming proposition.
Hermann will propose to the National
League that it adopt the all year round
form of contract--sign all players for
twelve napnths instead OF from April
10 October land do away with post
season competition which is not under
the jurisdiction OF the baseball commits
sioner
Last winter there was some sentiment
in favor Of revising the rule against
transforming by world series players.
However, no action was taken until last
summer at a specia. joint ,meeting In
Chicago. Since then there has been
marked revulsion of feeling. Some OF
he transforming done by world series
and other players this year--in the
majors and the minors. too--was not
exactly healthy for the game.
That game in Japan in which the
American tourists were charged with
hippodroming and handing the bigger
end Of the score to the Mita Club of
OF the "magnates," and they are ready
TO stop every variety of post-season play
which does not come under the head OF
world or city series. The twelve months
contract would give to the club owners
complete control over their men at all
times and prevent their playing base
ball for anybody but the clubs which
own their services.

by DANIEL.

New York may laugh at the coal
gougcrs this week. There will be no
need OF using anthracite to keep the
chill off the air--for the baseball
magnates from no fewer than two
major leagues and at least dozen
minors are right in our midst. 1t is
calculated by expert calculators that
they will generate enough hot air not
only to keep New York warm but to
watt Gulf Stream heat waves as far
as Peekskill up the Hudson and all
the way to Trenton to the south.
The first waves of warm air will
be generated at~the Commodore to-day
Mt the annual meeting of the Inter
national League. Tomorrow, at the
Waldorf, the National League will
open a two day session. On Wednes-
day the much talked about and much
transferred meeting of the American
League win be anchored at the Com
modore. That hostelry also will be
the scene OF the joint meeting of the
major leagues, with Judge Lands in
The chair, on Thursday.
There will be dinners. one-half of one

AiredaIe Enters the Case.

There was some excitement when
man whose name the police are with
holding was taken into custody. He
told rather disconnected story of
having been bitten by savage Aire-
dale terrier, but was rather indefinite
as to time and place. There were tooth
marks on the calf OF his leg. The
theory now is that this man, who was
roughly dressed. might havo carried
Huggins's teeth in his leg and con-
cocted the Airedale terrier story to
throw the investigators off the track
He failed to give an adequate descrip-
ton of the alleged dog.
All clews seem TO point to Madison
Square Garden as the place where the
teeth were last seen in possession of
the rightful owner. 1t was the first
plan of the investigators TO arrest and
question all of the suspicious looking
sausages found at the Garden grill.
but 1t was reported that all OF the
frankfurters sold since the departure
OF Harry NJ. Stevens looked suspicious
to the sleuths. The process of ellmi-
nation of the sausages consequently
had to be abandoned.
AS last resort the state police may
be appealed TO and the troopers re-
quested TO search all strange looking
vehicles leaving from the direction of
New York city. The plan of watching
the pawnshops has been given up, as
it seems quite clear that the motive
behind this crime was not robbery.

Teeth May Have Fled Unsssi-ted,

heeth uby itaNc Fied 0nhsststcu.
Medical authorities have advanced the
theory that the teeth may have become
infected with hydr9phobia and escaped
without assistance In this case there
is the fear that they may be heard of
deshing along some street swapping
vlcnusly at the pedestrians. Any per-
son who should be bitten by a set OF
strange teeth IS requested to report inn
mediately after receiving medical at
tention.
IL this theory should be correct the
authorities will have TO act firmly with
the missing molars. They will be shot
down in the open and no attempt will
be made to capture them alive on ac-
count of the menace to life which such
process would entail. As far as is
known. however. the teeth OF Mr.. Hug
gins have been quite docile excepting
for brief moments during the late
worlds series. when they were heard
gnashing with a harsh. grating sound.
In the meantime Colonel Jacob Rup
pert has taken fun charge OF the feed
ing of Miller Huggins pending a solu-
tion Of the. mystery. lie has made
quick study OF kerley and Holt on the
care and feeding or infants and is car
rying out directions to the letter.

Hsu Shih- Chang Has Formally Re-
tired From Government of the
Northern Provinces

Peking. JuEe 3.-Sun Vat Sen, pres
ident OF the South China republic,
who so far has failed to reply to pro-
posals to join WI Pei-Fu and members
of the old Republican Parliament in
their program to reunite the north
and south, is reported continuing his
hostile march northward at the head
Of 10000 men.
The Foreign Office announced yes
terday that martial law had been pro-
claimed in Chihli province. The os-
tnesible reason for the proclamation
is that disbanded soldiers of Chang
Tso-Lin's Manchdrian army are oper-
ating as bandits but the order is be-
lieved to ge a precautionary step to as
sure the security Of delegates arriving
to attend tie reopening of the Old Re-
publican Parliament.
Hsu Shih-Chang late yesterday
passed from the Presidential palace in
this Forbidden City into private life.
A few observers near the gates saw
the tall, stalwart figure of the former
president, who resigned as his part in
the program for tie unifcation of his
country, walk from the palace, get into
a waiting automobile and drive away
to his private residence.
Chow Tsu-Chi, acting Premier, who
was educated in the United States, has
assumed temporarily the conduct Of
the government.
President Hsu Shih-Chang, who on
Thursday resigned under pressure,
will retire to Tientsin. leaving the
Presidential palace to his successor,
who, in all probability, will be Ii
Yuan Hung, former president.
Members of the old Parliament,
meeting at Tientsin, nave requested Ii
Yuan-Hang to resume the presidency,
from which he resigned in 1917 after
the militarists obtained control. Ii is
expected to come to Peking immed-
lately to take office until the full Par
lament holds a regular election.

ACTIVITY IN
SUBURBAN
REAL ESTATE
Old St. Asaph Race Track
to be Subdivided Into
BAT Lots
WORK STARTS MONDAY
Many Other Valuable Tracts of Land
Just North of City to be Sub
divided

There is just now unusual activity
in suburban real estate. Many val
liable tracks of land recently have
changed hands and soon will be divided
off into subdivisions and houses erect
ed thereon and both houses and lots
offered for sale.
Some of the proposed subdivisions
are within the corporate limits Of the
city and some are Just beyond the bor-
der line. In fact the new subdivisions
planned extend all the way from the
corporate limits to Mount Ida.
The erection of houses in the SUI
burbs is now on the increase and ap-
proximately 100 houses are now IN
course of construction between this
city and Washington, most OF them
being a short distaace north Of the
CITY line and many within the city line.
Among the new subdivisions to be
started is the track of land formerly
the old st. Asaph race track, Just
north of the corporate limits. This
track tract contains thirty-tw" and
one-half acres and it will be divided
off into 348 lots. The purchasers OF
this tract are Alexandrians. They
will begin operations next week and
it will be converted into modern and
up-to-date subdivision.
Considerable Alexandria capital al
so has become interested In the va
rious other subdivisions planned and
within a short time the promoters Will
Law off streets, arrange for gas, water,
electricity and other necessities for
these places.
There is a constant demand for
houses and according to reports there
are few modern houses on the market
in the old city limits proper, and the
result is that the people are seeking
homes in the suburbs. Many families
from Washington are also locating IN
the new subdivision around AleXan-
dria. According to reports between
nav and Christmas at least two nun
dred more houses vii be erected north
of Alexandria.

COUNTER PROPOSAL
Looked Upon as Attempted Com
promise-Understanding With In

New York, June 3.-A proposal that
President Harding be asked TO appoint
a tribunal to settle the anthracite coal
strike, submitted by the operators
Yesterday before the joint subcom-
mittee on wage contract negotiations,
was rejected by the miners.
Philip Murray, vice-president OF the
United Mine Workers, declined TO
state on what grounds the proposition
wa stunned down, eXcert 10 declare 1t
"objectiono5le"
Labors members of the joint sub
committee announced they will call a
meeting of the genera anthracite scale
committee at Haz.eton, Pa, next Tues
day to frame counter proposal.
The invitation to President Hard
irg, to which the miners refused TO
Subscribe, asked MIN - appoint a
cCmmission Or ;r:bahal &c Ena rrac-
=. al method by wl:ch prompt oper.--
tion of the mines may be resumed
pending its ultimate decision, and also
to seek and recommend method by
which future suspensions or strikes
may be avoided.
Thus, said S. d. Warriner, chair
man of the operators delegation to, the
wage conference, "we place ourselves
unreservedly in the hands of the Pres
ident, without strings or qualifications.
We want the mines re-opened as soon
as possible.
At the miners headquarters, how
ever, the operators offered solution OF
the strike was looked upon as nothing
more than a counter proposal to that
which strikers delegates submitted
two weeks ago, and which the employ
ers refused to sign, namely; that Mr..
Harding empower the Federal Trade
Commission and the Interstate Com
merce Commission to begin at once a
complete investigation of the indus
try, from wages to prices of the prod
uct.
Although it was reported that the
independent operators had made over
lures to the miners for reopening of
the collieries on the basis of the scale
which lapsed April l, Mr.. Warriner
declared tonight that "every inde-
pendent is unqualifedly with us in our
offer to arbitrate".

IN FULL swing
131,476 Cars Handled at
Potomac Yards Dur
ing Past Month
FRUIT BUSINESS BOOM
35.O67 Cars Filled With Perishable
Freight Passed Through Yards Dur
ing Last IS Days in May

During Che month of May a total
of 131 ,476 freight cars were handled
in Potomac Railroad yards, an in
crease of 32.261 over the same month
last year and an increase Of about
II 900 cars over April of 1922. This
it is argued by railroad officials is
the best business barometer there is
and is indicative of an increased
business throughout the country as
all cars between the north and the
south pass through these yards.
From May 13 to May 81, 35.O67
cars filled with perishable freight
all bound for the north. passed
through Potomac yards These cars
were loaded mainly with fruits and
berries from the Sunny South and
practically all were destined for New
York.
According to officials at the yards
the fruit business in the south is
now in full swing and indications are
that this will be one of the biggest
seasons in the history OF the south.
Peaches and other fruits are com
ing in large quantities and the melon
season it is stated has opened up in
good shape and hundreds of carloads
of watermelons from Florida al
ready have passed through Potomac
yards enroute to New York.
