SAYS RUSSIAN NECKLACE
COST DODGE 1925, 900
Executor Of Estate Tells Price Of
Empress Catharlne's Pearls

Detroit, Jan. 20.-Mystery surround
ing the purchase price of the ill-fated
pearl necklace of Catharine of Russia,
purchased by Horace Z. Dodge for his
wife, just previous to his death, has
been cleared by statement from
Howard Bloomer, chairman of the Board
of Directors of Dodge Brothers. and
executor of the Dodge estate, that Mr.
Dodge paid $685., 900 for 1t.
Benquiat Brothers are suing Car
tier. Inc. of New York. who made the
sale for $3.50, 600, which they claim Is
still due them as their share of the
profits in handling the necklace. They
brought the necklace to this country
from Russia. where it was part of the
Bolshevist spoils from the Russian
crown jewek.
The local Office of the Treasury De-
partment is interesting itself to learn
If duty was paid on the necklace when
it was brought into the country. II
the necklace was smuggled suit may be
brought against Mrs. Dodge for 60
per cent of its value. If this were
collected it would bring the cost Of the
necklace to the Dodge family up to
81, 800, 900.
Persons close to Mrs. Dodge say that
she had no knowledge Of the necklace
being smuggled and they doubt if Mr..
Dodge had.
"Inasmuch as we have not been ad-
vised of an entry in the customs Of
duty paid on such necklace we are
working on the assumption that there
is cause for investigation, said =. III.
Gardner, local United States Treasury
agent. THE Government could bring
civil action against Mrs. Dodge IL the
pearls were smuggled."

SEES RACE FUSION IN U. S.
Princeton Professor Predicts Blend
Of Whites, Blacks and YelIows

Princeton, n. j., Jan. 20.-Within
200 years the United States will be
going abroad to buy one half of its
food supply, according to statements
made here yesterday In n public lecture
by Prof. Edwin Grant Conklin, head
of the department of biology in Prince
ton University. He also predicted that
within two centuries there will be no
race question in America, with the
whites, blacks and yellows becoming
fused.
intellectual capacity Of Americans
has been declining steadily in the past
years." DR.. Conklin said, "duc partly
to the great birth rate of the lower
classes and to large immigration. Means
to prevent this intellectual decline can
be found. Agents of she' Government
should be stationed in European ports
to inspect prospective immigrants, and
to investigate to some extent their
pedigree. Unsatisfactory types should
be barred.
Many immigrants become insane.
Records. show that three times as many
Of these reach such mental condition
as native born Americans. The ltal-
fans are the most thrifty OF immigrants,
but the children of Southeastern Eu-
rope make less progress along educa-
tional lines. English immigrants show
the highest mental capacity"

LATIN AS ENGLISH HELP
WILL BE PUT TO TEST
Glasses to Be Started to Determine
Value OF EtymoIogy

Latin, with it's numerous declensions,
conjugations and complicated syntax,
bugbears of high school days, will be
given the opportunity to prove its value
in increasing a students knowledge Of
English words by a series of expert
mental classes arranged by the Investi
eating Committee of the American
Classical League. Special classes for
subjecting the dead" language to
nicroscopical examination will be or
ganized in Central High School, Girls
High School. Germantown High School
and the South Philadelphia High
School, beginning in few weeks at the
opening of the second semester.
Four English classes will be started
in each school with the purpose Of
determining the advantage Of studying
etymology and Latin for its English
derivatives. One class will include
pupils in beginning Latin in which no
effort is made to teach derivatives. one
with pupils in beginning Latin In which
definite derivative study is given regu-
larly, one Of non Latin pupils which
will include regular work in English
etymology and one. Of non Latin pupils
in which no work In English etymology
will be given.
At the start of the experiment these
four classes will be rated by intelligence
tests. by specific tests in the knowledge
of English words, and, as the work
proceeds. the growth of each pupil will
be tested in English vocabulary. The
experiment is to run through three
semesters. The work Is in charge of
Albert A. Hamblen and Raymond l
Haskell. graduate students in the De-
partment of Education of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, who are working
under the direction of ProfS. Arthur l..
Jones. A. Duncan iocum, Harlan Up
degraff and Leroy A. King.

MARYLAND POLICE
SEEK OWN CHIEF
Move to Take Control From
Motor Commissioner Under
Way in Annapolis
MAY AMEND RlTCHIE'S BILL

Annapolis. Jan. 20.-Before the
smoke of the attack on the Maryland
state police In the House at Annapolis
had cleared away II developed yester-
day that a move probably will be made
20 take control Of the forco away from
the Motor Vehicle Commissioner. This
would involve amendment of Governor
Rttchie's Reorganization Bill, which
calls for the creation of n Department
of Public Safety. the director of which
would combine the duties Of head of
both the Motor Vehicle and State Po-
lice Departments.
1t is contended by some Of the strong
est advocates of the new force that its
Importance justifies the selection of a
separate chief. with an adequate salary.
This view already has been presented
to Governor RitChic. and will be more
strongly urged upon him when his health
is recovered. %
Signs are growing that strong politi-
cal influences will be put to work to
prevent reappointment of f. Austin
Baughman as Motor Vehicle Commits
stoner. He is also head of the present
embryo State police. Mr.. Baughman
SAID that he would welcome an audit of
the Automobile Titling Department Of
"'' OAhSc' anu WHICH was provided Tor
by resolution introduced into the
House of Delegates by William Purnen
Hall, delegate from the city. The rev.
enues of this department have been used

the formal creation of the body by the
Assembly.
THE figures showing the amount of
money received, the expenditures and
the balance on hand, giving the purpose
for which each amount was spent, are
contained in my. annual report" Mr..
Baughman said. "All expenditures
