by preliminary contest between the
local Orioles and the Park view
Quint from Washington, two OF the
best junior basketball teams III the

{COnt1nueQ lIOh pe6S
Rev. DR.. E. v. REGISTER, pastor OF
the Southern Methodist Church ana
Member of the Ministerial Association,
was then interrogated, and stated that
he and Rev. DR.. Morton, OF Christ
Church. had been appointed a commit
fec to look into the divorce situation III
alexandria, but that neither ne nor
DR.. Morton had made any 1nyestlga-
zion. other than talking with people
on the street, and thai SO Tar as ne
knew this was all the association mad
ever done as an association, except
the eypressent recently given to the
press. which stated that a tu!l and

The divorce conditions.
Chairman Smith then asked II there
we're any attorneys present OF repre-

be heard during the course of the IN
vestigation. 1t was recorded that
Judge Moncure was present and rep
resented by John S. Barbour as ms
counsel, and Davis & Budwesky were
represented by Wilson NJ. Farr, OF
Fairfax.
Attorney Frank Stuart was then in
vitcd to testify, and he requested
that he be allowed to present his tes-
timony in narrative form.
Ifc stated that he had attempted to
file with the State Legislature four
specific charges against the judge OF
the Corporation Court: First, his nom
enforcement of the divorce laws OF
Virginia; second, his lack OF qualiiica-
tions, legal and Otherwise; third, his
political activities and Vaccinations !;
and fourth, his failure to sustain the
dignity Of the high office ne held, and
failure to exact the respect que to that
Office.
At this point objection was made
that Mr.. Stuart's statement was not
pertinent to the object OF the investi-
cation, which was to investigate the
alleged divorce evil exclusively. After
considerable discussion it was decided
to permit Mr.. Stuart to make his

Polish President
Continued from Pace u

the sense of patriotic duty among all
the political parties and there now is
general coopeation for the mainten-
ance Of strict order.
The formation within a few hours
of new cabinet through the efforts
Of NJ. Rataj, who automatically be-
came president when Narutowicz was
assassinated, and of General Sikorski,
who was called to the premiership,
has given the people a feeling Of
security. The immediate summoning
of parliament for next Wednesday to
elect a new president, has strength
ened this feeling and Pilsudski's APP
pointment as chief of staff, has given
additional assurance that all neces-
sary firmness will be shown by the
heads of the government in this criti-
cal time.
The cabinet is being rapidly filed
out around the skeleton group of
ministers who took Office Saturday
night.

ldent NarutOWicZ, who is a painter
and 53 years old, was born in War

emies of Fine Arts in Petrograd and

Assassinated Week
After His Election

Warsaw. Dec, Is (By a. Ply
Gabriel Narutowicz first president Of
the Polish Republic, fell before an
assassin's bullet at noon today, just
one week since his election and only
AZ Shours after actually taking up the
duties of office.
The tragedy took place at an exhi-
bition of paintings, and the assassin
was an artist. one NieWadomski, long
regarded by his associates as men,
tally deranged.
The President had just concluded
brief address and, accompanied by
his aidde-camp, and two Of the
members of his cabinet, was enter
ing the first hall of the exhibition to
view the paintings when Niewadom-
SKI joined the throng eagerly pressing
about the Chief Executive to shake
his hand.
Instead of stopping in front of NJ.
Narutowicz, however, the assassin
circled the crowd to position in the
rear. Then, working his way so close
to his victim that there was no
chance Of missing, he drew a revolver
and fired three times. all the bullets
piercing the Presidents back.
NJ. Narutowicz, terribly wounded,
collapsed to the floor and died within
few moments. The slayer turned
for fight, but was Immediately borne
down by the Infatuated spectators,
who kicked and beat him unmerci-
fully. He was rescued with difficulty
by the police and taken to the police
station under heavy guard.
A council of ministers was hur-
riedly called to examine the situation
created by the death of the President,
but their decision, if any was taken,
had not been made known. In politi-
cal circles it is said to be possible
that Marshal Pilsudski, former Chief
of State. will assume the task of
forming a cabinet. Another report
is that Pilsudski may even be invest

Sen. Walsh Sees
Evil in Present
Trend LEGISLATION

New York, Dee. 17.-Unted States
Senator David /. Walsh Of Massachu-
sets in an address acre today de-
clared that the failure of the govern
ment to eliminate wastage between
producers Of farm products and con
sumers leaves as alternatives to the
farmers of the country only radical
ism and socialism.
In travelling through the West in
October" Senator Walsh said, II saw
men and women leaving the farms. in
wagons which carried only themselves,
their children and a few bits of furni-
ture. They were leaving home and
land, going no one knows where, to
look for a livelihood.
They We're able to prove that be-
yond question they were producing ag-
ricWtural products at a loss to them
selves" he continued land that they
were obtaining for their products only
25 per cent. of what the consumer
pays for these products. They demand
that the intermediate wasiage be elm
mated. II it is not, there is only rad
icalism and socialist left for them"
Touching upon the present trend OF
legislation. Senator Walsh declared
when government begins TO atterLt
to regulate by law what you eat and
drink, what you wear. how many chill
dren you shall have. what. schools your
