FRENCH FILES THIS y
WEEK FOR GOVERNOR

E. L. French will file his declara-
ton of candidacy for the Republican
nomination for governor this week.
Earlier in the year he planned to re-
sign as director of agriculture to pre-
pare for the campaign but an out
break of the foot and mouth disease
in California led him to remain at his
post until danger of spread to this
state was over. Mr.. French who is
one of the most prominent fruit grow
ers in Clarke county, helped his faith
er and brothers clear the Ripley
county, Ind, farm on which he was
born; later he grew wheat and taught
school in Kansas and in 1896 bought
his Washington farm. From 1909 to

motives not for the public good; it is
true, likewise, that business and bust
ness men have interefered altogether
too much in governmental affairs and
are themselves the creators of that
governmental monster that now
threatens to devour them body and
soul.
Again, the remedy should be ap-
piled to the cause and not the eff
feet of the evil. In these days, when
the government deals with all the
vast concerns of business, coal, rail-
roads, ships, oil, tariffs and the like,
it is simply intolerable that these
large business enterprises should be
permitted to contribute large funds
to political bodies, political aspirants
or political manipulators. Almost in
variably these unusual sums of
money are not given merely because
of a common interest which parti-
sans have in their political party
Generally these gratuities are in the
nature of payment for special privi-
leges granted, or investments to be
profitably realized upon by privileges
to be accorded, or both.
The Teapot Dome and Elk Hill
leases; the alleged transfer of Alas
kan oil land to the interior depart
ment; the alleged extravaganza of
the Shipping Board and the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation; the lease of
the Buena Vista Hills oil reserve;
the alleged sitting of an inquiry into
Texas land frauds; the conduct of
the Department of Justice with its
extensive spy system; the oil leases
in foreign lands; the railway prob
lens; the irregularities of banks;
these and others are but an indication
of what it means for business and
business men to intrude themselves
upon the legitimate sphere of gov
ornamental functions.
If we are to realize less govern
mental interference into the domain
of business and permit the full play
and development of economic, indus
trial and commercial tendencies and
developments, then business and bust
ness men must clear their own house
and keep from interfering with
the rightful and legitimate affairs of
the government-and that includes
the affairs of the political parties,
who help to shape the policies of the
government, and select the political
representatives from which the peo-
pie are to choose.

no change from the previous month,
the Labor Department found in its
last investigation which dealt with
the price level during May.
Washington's May price level was
AZ per cent above 1928 compared
with As per cent in April. Prices in
Detroit and New York also increased
one point each.
Food takes nearly 40 per cent of
the expenditures of the average
American family for necessities, gov
eminent research shows. According
ly an increase in food prices increases
the family budget more than an in
crease in any other necessity like
clothing, rent or fuel.

Leaps From Hospital
Window to Escape
Operation

BALTIMORE, Dec. Wav-
erly Purnell, colored, No. 1874
North Bond street, who has
pleurisy, lay in his bed in Ward
M, at Johns Hopkins Hospital,
and idly listened to the CONVEX
sation Of some students nearby.
The word Operation was men
toned and Waverly, visualizing
himself being cut and sawed,
decided that the hospital was
no place for him. So he wrapped
himself in q red blanket and
jumped out Of q second-story
window.
Doctor John H. Smoke and
Doctor M. s. Guttmacher saw
the patient leave and started
after him. Barefooted, the
negro sped through the streets,
and if a taxicab had not come
along he would have escaped.
AS it was, the doctors took the
cab and caught up to him just
as he was entering his home.
They promised that there would
be no operation and he con-
sented to go back to the hos
pital.

EXPLORER Pays.
TRIBUTE To
ESKIMO
Macmillan Calls Them a Very
Industrious People in His
Talk Hare

" + f
Summer Is the work time, winter
the time for vacations among the
Eskimos Of Greenland, according to
Donald B. Macmillan, who told Of
his recent explorations in north
Greenland before members of the
National Geographic Society last
evening at the New Masonic
Temple.
The speaker was introduced by
General A. w. Greedy, dean of
living Polar explorers, and later
Commander Macmillan told of plac.
ing tablet, provided by the Ma
tional Geographic Society, on
ElIsemen Land in memory Of the
members OF the expedition who lost
their lives there in the Sos in quest
of the Pole.
Remarkable motion pictures of
scenes never before brought back
to the civilized world were shown.
These followed the progress Of the
vessel, the Bowdoin, across an ice
caked sea; the natives of far North
Greenland at work and play; the
training of a six-weeks old musk
OK; and the birds and flowers of
the frozen North, both of which are
far more plentiful than one sus-
poets.
The explorer paid high tribute to
the industry and intelligence of the
Eskimos. He said he has yet to
find lazy man among them. They
have tricks to teach the white man
in deep sea fishing, and in the hand.
ling of their paper.thin canoes.
Bird life is so plentiful in some
parts Of Greenland that the natives
scoop the birds out of the air by
means of a net at the end of long
pole. There are thousands Of gulls
and elder ducks and plentiful sup.
ply of eggs.

WESLEY CHURCH
CEREMONY IS
PLANNED
First Unit Of New Structure,
Under Construction, to
Cost $125,ooo

A new and important link in the
church life of the National Capital
win be accomplished today at 3
o'clock when the cornerstone Of
the first unit OF the Wesley Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, Connecticut
avenue and Jocelyn streets, will be
laid with impressive services.
The erection of this new church,
according to those closely identified
with the work, is an index of the
spiritual and material progress of
the city. inasmuch as the original
Wesley Chapel was established at
Fifth and r streets northwest, in
1928. The far removal of the
new edifice from the old indicates
the swing to new center of popu.
lation, and the physical contrast OF
the splendid new house of worship
to the old one. now practically dis.
mantled, is striking.
The unit which Is being dedicated
today is to be used for a Sunday
school and for social activities, and
was built at a cost of approx.
mately $125,000. 1t is of English
Gothic architecture, built OF stone.
The first floor holds separate rooms
for the beginners, primary and
junior departments of the Sunday
school; cloak rooms, secretaries of.
flee. women's parlor and kitch-
enette.
The second floor provides an as.
sembly half with seating capaci.
ty of 500; a platform for the pre-.
sentation of entertainments and
pageants, and kitchen. A pipe
organ is to be installed in the
assembly room, where church serv.
ices will be held until the erection
of the second unit.
This final unit will contain
spacious auditorium, to be used
permanently as the church proper:
a gymnasium. reception room and
other compliments of a modern
church.
The total cost of the completed
structure will be $350,00O. Funds
from the old chapel helped to de.
fray the cost of building and con.
tributions were given by the mem.
bership of the new church, which
is estimated by the Reverend Fred
Coombs Reynolds, pastor, at 263,

Sixth Century Graves Show
 Pre-Christian Relics

London, May 2.--The discovery of a number of skeletons with numer- ous funeral relics of pre-Christian date near Stratford- -on-Ayon in a sixth century cemetery. is regarded by English archeologists as one of the most important finds ever made in England.
 The gem of the collection consists of magnificent umbo or boss of a warriors shield, which was found with other implements of warfare buried with body. The shield boss which is pronounced to be unique is of iron, beautifully decorated with plates of cast bronze with gold at tachments and ornamented with gold on the apex and around the rim.
 During the course of the excaya- tlons 2l4 interments were found, some 40 of them having been ore- mated and the ashes buried in earthenware urns of beautiful designs.

HIGHLANDERS ADOPT YORK
 AS PRINCE OF SCOTLAND
Albert. Duke of York. Picked by In. fiucntial Group or Scotchmen as
 Their Unofficial Prince

London. May 2.-Not to be outdone by Wales, which can boast of it's own royal prince. an influential group of Scotchmen have chosen Albert, Duke of York, to be the unofficial Prince of Scotland.
 Since the time when Queen Eliza beth robbed Scotland of it's royal line, Scotchmen have had only two or three royal princes allotted them by the grace of their English sovereign. Now the Scotchmen would like to exercise a certain amount of freedom in selecting royal prince of their own.
 Scotchmen attending the Hist an- niversary dinner of the Highland society. at which the Duke of York was present, took the initiative in adopting him as their favorite son. The Scotchmen pointed out that the Duke of York also held a Scotch title "The Earl of Inverness and that furthermore he had married a Scot tish duchess, and they did not neglect to note that he is also Scottish by lineage.
 In the course of his speech the
