Bloom Offer Rejected.
The committee examiner declared he
was sure every member would be will
ing to contribute "a few dollars" for
the printing of any testimony which
the committee might decide to take.
Inc committee could not accept the
offer of Representative Bloom of New
YORK to finance the committee
Mr.. Perkins endeavored to set az
rest rumors of coercion" as the direct
cause OF the sudden termination of the
committees hearings He emphati-
cally declared, "On my word of honor.
any thought or suggestion that OUTSIDE e
forces coerced me or any member of
the committee is without foundation. .
Representative Lea of California.
Democrat, added that there was moth
ing mysterious or sinister about the
committee closing its hearings, as one
reason was the condition of its finances
and another that the record was prac-
tically complete
An explanatory statement of the
committees work and an intimation
or what its final report might en-
body was issued by Representative
PERKINS after the executive meeting
Yesterday. The hearings thus far
nave disclosed certain facts which, in
my opinion, make several conclusions
inescapable," said the statement.
Conclusions Are Cftea.
They are: Aviation is about to as
sumo most important contributing
place in the worlds transportation
and communication systems.
Out of this commercial aviation
VIII inevitably grow air power, which,
while 1t will never displace land or
sea forces, it will undoubtedly pro-
foundly alter and extend warfare.
America, in the design and de-
velopment of aircraft speeds, per-
formance and utility, leads the world.
But in commercial aviation Amer
lea Is wholly deficient and in air
power we are greatly inferior"
Mr.. Perkins said he knows mem
bers of the committee clearly differ
entiate between personality and prin-
ciple. We have not been confused
and we hope the public will not be
confused by extreme statements made
In the hearings. I find no more sub
stance in the allegations of an in
custr1al and service conspiracy as
made by disappointed inventors than
l find in the picturesque and more
startling denunciations by proponents
or antagonists of the claim that in
future wars the air arm will he
supreme.
Says Certain Points Agree.
Amid the suggestion of violent
controversy between the extreme ad-
vocates of air power on the one hand
and big guns and big ships on the
other there are certain points upon
which we all can agree, and these
points, l am sure. point the way
toward final recommendations which
the committee will consider
THE first point is that commercial
aviation is primary and military avia-
tton secondary; that, in my opinion
a moral duty rests upon the United
States to show the way for the world
10 escape another costly race for
armament, this time in the air, and
thus spare future generations the
misery and suffering which must
ensue from unlimited development of
aviation for destructive instead OF
constructive purposes. In short, il
must be recognized and practically
proved that the mission of aircraft
is to serve humanity and not to de-
stroy it."

MOST FILM STARS
ARE FOREIGNERS

BERLIN, Aug. 22-America may
have the money, but Europe still pro-
duces the artists-that's the boast of
the German newspapers. 1t is cited
as a consolation against the even
greater inroads which American films
are making in the European produc-
ton.
To prove the contention, the Ger
man newspapers point out that prac-
tically all American film stars are
Foreigners" They list them as fol-
lows:
Gloria Swanson, Swedish.
Mabel Normand, Dutch.
Betty Blythe, English. y
Pola Negri, Polish.
Ala Nazimova, Russian.
Mary Pickford, Canadian.
Maria Provost. Canadian.
Mae Husch, German-American
Viola Dana, German-American
Mae Murray, Austrian.
Buster Keaton, Austrian.
Rudolph Valentino, Mexican.
Roman Novarra. Mexican.
Rodla ROGUE. Frcuch.
Adolpf Menjou, French.
Charles de Roche, French.
The only 100 per cent American
listed among the film stars is Monte
Blue. He has Indian blood in his
veins.

HEXY-RESORCINAL
NEW FOE TO GERMS

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22.-Drag-
ging out from the musty files of the
Yale laboratories carbon compound
known as "hexyl-resorcinol, modern
chemistry Is about to present it to the
world as the most powerful agent in
existence in fighting disease germs
in the human organisms. according TO
sayants here today for the opening Of
the SEVENTEEN congress Of the Ameri-
can Chemical Society.
"Hcxyl-resorcinol is concentrated
canned lightning, said G. Ross Rob.
crtson, professor at the University Of
California and secretary of the society,
Southern California section. But it
is lightning that strikes germs only
and has no harmful effect on the per-
son who uses it.
THE product is now being used for
the purpose of disinfecting diseased
Kidneys" Robertson explained. This
peculiar chemical makes it safe for
physicians to prescribe without dis.
commoding or endangering the pa
tent"

II NARROWED
IN ELEVATOR
8 HOURS
Passengers Suffer From
Heat and Fright While
Held Captive.

NEW YORK, Aug. Paul Hell.
ler's lack of tonnage saved the lives
of seventeen persons yesterday.
Marooned for two and one-half
hours in a small elevator between the
first and second floors of a twelve
story building at No. $50 Broadway,
fourteen men and three young girls
came close to suffocation.
One of the two elevators had been
given its Saturday rest and the other
was being operated by Frank Dimasi,
porter of the building, who lives on
the top floor. He is not the regular
operator and was not exactly a mas
ter at the art of the lift"
The elevator had descended from
the twelfth floor quite blithely but
came to a sudden, jerky stop before
reaching the first. Dimasi's efforts
at the lever were futile. Cries and
screams for help went unheeded. The
heat became unbeatable. Then Paul
Heller, No. 1906 Morris avenue, the
Bronx, spied an opening in the roof
of the elevator.
He had the men hoist him up and
squeezed himself through. From there
he jumped twelve feet TO the root
of the stalled elevator. With a pen
ell he forced the latch and got out
onto the street floor.
He summoned Patrolman Whaleu,
of the Mercer street station, who in
turn summoned fire truck No. 20, in
charge of Captain Peck.
Back at the building be again forced
the latch of the empty car and de-
scended TO the basement with the fire
men. They found that a twisted ca
bic had caused the trouble. This
fixed, Dimasi took the car upward
until the firemen had time to get
out from under.

KILLS HIMSELF
AGAINST OWN
WISHES
Hoped to Last to Recover
and Restore Stolen
Wealth.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. d.
Death of Joseph R. Cant, Kansas
City banker, by subconscious mental
suicide-while he was struggling to re-
gain his health after embezzling $780,.
000-has opened new field for iu.
vestigation by psychologists.
The Kansas City financier, accord
ing TO DIR. G. Wilse Robinson, noted
alienist. made every effort to recover
his health after going to bed i'll after
discovery of his defalcations.
Yet within his own mind and
against his own wishes, an all-power-
full force drove him slowly hut steal
lily and surely to the grave after eight
months of involuntary starvation.
And to the grave he carried the
secret of what he had done with
the money he had stolen from de-
positors and shareholders of his
bank.
