Tracy L. Jeffords Are Ap-
pointed Receivers.

Justice Hitz of the District Supreme
Court today selected Oracle X. Rich
ards. local philanthropist, and Tracy
l.. Jeffords, lawyer and member of
the board of directors of Casualty
Hospital, to serve as receivers of the
Eastern Dispensary and Casualty
Hospital, which is in financial diff
culties. The bond of the receivers
was fixed at $4,000. and they are
authorized to close the hospital, tenn
porarily or permanently. as may be
required. No intimation was given
today as to when the hospital will
be closed
Based ON Petition.
The action of the court is based on
petition of the corporation. signed
by Evan H. Tucker, as president, and
Joseph A Herbert, jr.. as secretary.
in which the court is advised that al
though solvent. the corporations
business is going behind each day.
and it has an Indebtedness in excess
of $4,000, with available cash on
hand of less than 5000. The court
proceeding was decided on last night
at a meeting of the board of directors,
at which eighteen members attended,
and was unanimous, according to At
torneys Jeffords & Dutton, who pre-
sented the petition to the court.
The directors had asked that Mr..
Jeffords be appointed the sole receiv-
err but Justice Hitz declared that in
view of thepublic interest in the mat
ter he would ask Mr.. Richards to
serve as co-receiver. Mr.. Jeffords
readily acquiesced in the suggest
Conducted by Charity.
Mr.. Jeffords explained to Justice
Hitz that the hospital corporation has
no capital stock and has never paid
any fees. salaries or commissions to
it's board of directors, but has been
conducted purely as an eleemosynary
institution. supported by donations,
subscriptions and a small payment
from a few patients. This has been
augmented at times by appropriations
of Congress and by few legaCieS, the
lawyer said. There is now due the
hospital, he t, Id the court, about $1,000
for the care of poor cases for which no
appropriation has been made by Con-
gress.
Among the liabilities of the cor
poration, he said, is note discounted

of $40 have been made. The balance
represents bills due for supplies
Merchants who have been serving
the institution have accounts against

lawyer said, and have refused further

"is $4,000 a month and We have less
than $500 in bank and do not know

The court will see the necessity for
closing the hospital"
Mr.. Jeffords made it plain that the
institution is not bankrupt, but its
assets are not in such liquid form as
to permit of continuing business. ne

DUESSELDORF, October 16.-Loot
from Saturdays pillaging, including
silk stockings. neckties. stovepipe
hats, fur coats, party gowns and
lingerie, was found hidden in out of
the-way corners all over town today.
and thirty-five more arrests were
made, bringing the total to more than
300. Rough preliminary estimates
place the amount of damage done by
the looters at several million dollars,
part of which will have to be paid by
the city, part by the state and part
by the nation.
The rioting is believed to be over
for the moment. but the threatening
enonomic causes back of the outbreak
placed itself at the disposal of the
police. The shopkeepers, property
owners, labor unions and political
parties all have formed self-protec-
munists have voted to contribute
toward the maintenance of law and
order.
Worst RfOting of Year.
Saturdays pIunderings in Duessel-
dorf were probably the most i'm
portant that have occurred in the
Ruhr since the occupation. The
agree as to the food situation. The
French assert that more foodstuffs
than ever have entered the Ruhr from
unoccupied territory in the last few
days. Berlin it is declared. is sending
more than thousand cars of food
daily to industrial Westphalia.
The Germans argue that even If this
is true it does not alter the fact that
the Rhineland crops, which are most
important for winter nourishment, con-
tinue to come in very slow.
In Cologne. where stock exchange
speculation has been wilder. than
anywhere else in Germany of late,
with disastrous effects on prices, the
British authorities have decided to
intervene in the high cost of living
question, according to the French.
VIII Supervise Prices.
Every shopkeeper who lists his
goods in gold marks and then sells
for paper marks at a hxed rate OF ex-
change must submit his "multiplier"
or gold-to- paper ratio to competent
authorities daily. If it is found to be
exaggerated or unjust he must ex-
pcct to see II changed by the British
experts.
ployed among Duesseldorf's 500,0 ,000
population, the French claim that Sat-
urday's riots were due more to politi-
cal than to economic causes. The riot
ing and pillaging, it is asserted, was
organized by radicals Of both the right
and left as a demonstration against
the StreSemann government.
Most of the rioters arrested were
declared to be communist youths of
eighteen to twenty years. Such
youths, it is contended. are not hon
est. hungry men," but irresponsible h
shops they pillaged are alleged to have
been designated in advance. being the
property of men inimical to the radical
parties.

PRESIDENT TOEND
DRY STAND DOUBT
Will Use All Powers of Gov
ernment to Enforce Law,
Conference to Be Told.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

President Coolidge will enforce the
Volstead act by utilizing every avail
able agency of the United States gov
ernment. And in telling this to the
assembled governors of the several
states next Saturday he will point
out the serious responsibility which
law of the land.
The effect of the citizenship con-
ference has been to set the stage for
an important pronouncement by Pres
ident Coolidge. After 1t is made, it
was said today at the White House,
there will no longer be any doubt
about the position of the President
toward law enforcement
But at no time will the President
take the extreme position on the pro-
scribed by some proh!bitionists as
the course of "fanaticism."
Mr.. Coolidge recognizes that the
enforcement of prohibition is en-
tirely separate from whatever senti-
ment may legitimately be expressed
tion by legal means of existing law
So long as the statutes are on the
books he will insist upon 100 per
cent enforcement, but the chances are
modification, as did the late President
Harding.
Has Faith In Haynes.
Mr.. Coolidge may take occasion to
make it clear that he has absolute
faith in Roy Haynas, prohibition COM
missioner. He has Informally let it
be known heretofore that he intended
Mr.. Haynes to have h7s complete sup
port. The prospects are that the
"drys" will gain their point in asking
that the President take personal
charge of the prohibition situation by
dealing directly with Mr.. Haynes in
ST aad of the usual procedure by way
of the head of a department..
The speech of former Gov. Henry j.
Allen of Kansas, who replied to Gov.
Clifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania by
telling the latter that hes could en-
force the law by removing mayors of
cities where the law was being flout-
ed. gives a cue to. the attitude which

Washington. Aug. Capitalization
OF a letter written by Senator Hiram

cussing the political outlook for 1924.
impelled the senator to issue a state
ment tonight paying his respects to
those who gave the letter to the pub
lie and adding that he hoped the in
cident would "be taken by the OPP
position as an invitation to a contest
in California" u
Apart from candidates., the state
ment said, the progressive Republic
cans" of California, are determined
that the states delegation to the Re-
publican National convention next
year must represent truly pro-
gressive Republican state"
The letter to whose publication the
senator referred was written from
Europe in May and was addressed to
Charles X. McClatchy of Sacramento.
In it, Mr.. Johnson said he would like
to be President, but saw no prospect
that President Harding could be de-
feated for denomination. He added
that he was convinced the johnson
element could not rally its old-time
strength in California and doubted
whether he could carry the state
against Harding, Hoover or any
other candidate"
Tonight's statement was prefaced
by Senator Johnson with a stipulation
that he was giving it out for publica-
tion ION the condition that it shall be

MEXICAN RECOGNITION NEAR
BACK COOLIDGE IN
FUEL CRISIS, WORD
GOVERNOR BAXTER

Gov. Percival P. Baxter in a state
ment issued Thursday declares that
he believes that a coal strike is a
national issue and that all governors
should stand squarely behind the
president.
Il believe that this is a national
issue which must be settled by the
national government" continued Gov.
Baxter.
Governors Of non-coal producing
states can help most by standing
squarely behind President Coolidge
in whatever he decides to do in the
present emergency.
THE president has said that no
one has the right to strike against
the public safety and that is as true
today as when he said it several
years ago. We should support him
IN every way. AS a last resort the
government can seize the mines.
The miners are not the only ones to
blame for the mine owners and oper-
ators and the coal owning railroads
have mercilessly f1eeced the public in
prices and quality; both sides are
arbitrary and unyielding.
Fair wages and fair profits should
go together but in the coal industry
the public has been ground between
contending forces. A strong arm is
!! needed and our president has one.
Il propose to stand behind the
president. for his findings will be
based on facts and n full l5nOwlodpe
of the situation. a knowledge not
obtainable By the people or the gov
errors.
New England may be forced to use
bltuminous coal. 1t is better than
nothing, but l do not believe it will
come to that for mines are open and
some one will get coal. This con-
tinued threat of coal shortage has
become monotonous and the people
are tired of it. Patience sometimes
ceases to be a virtue"

Former Employe
of Ward Says He Is
COld-BlOOded Man

New York. Aug. 23-Walter S.
Ward, slayer of Clarence NJ. Peters,
who is awaiting trial for murder in
the Westminster county pail, was
characterized by a former employee
testifying before the grand jury
which investigated the killing as "a
cold FLOODED and close -mouthed man
with wonderfully alert mind, and
an expert pistol shot"
This was revealed today when
more of the grand jury record was
made public by Wards attorneys
The testimony quoted was given by
Palmer Tubb, chief assistant under
Ward in the purchasing department
of the Ward Baking company, who
said he was discharged in February
without apparent cause.
Tubb described frequent visits to
Wards office Of two men, one called
Ross" with whom he said Ward
appeared to be on friendly terms.
According to n statement by Ward
concerning the shooting, two men
known to him as Jack" and Ross"
were involved with Peters in a black
mail plot against him.
The witness further told the grand
jury that Ward was the best shot
among the higher officials of the New
Rochell ponce force, or winch he was
commissioned.
Another witness whose testimony
was made public was Earl n. Hardy
of Haverhill. Mass. an uncle of the
slain man. He said Peters never APP
peared to have much money, even
after the time when blackmail was
said by Ward to have been levied.
Il don't think he had Il mind cap
able Of doing the things reported"
he said. For instance, the black
mail plot: he didn't have head
enough to do that"
