PALLOR OF DRUGS
IS ROBBERY CLUE
Woman Says Pasty-Faced,
Gray-Haired Man Aided
in Gem Theft.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 10.-The pasty
face of a gray-haired man is the prin-
cipal clue police have to the latest of
the series of jewel robberies perpe-
trated upon women who frequent the
cabarets of Broadway.
Mrs. Beatrice Perkins, "a, from
whom three masked burglars took
gems valued at more than $4,000
early yesterday, after they had en-
tered her apartment and bound and
beaten the woman and Milton Abbott,
her companion, told the police that
she had caught a fleeting glimpse of
the face of d man, apparently drug
addict" when his handkerchief mask
had fallen.
The robbery, similar in its execu-
tion to those of Dot" King (Keenan),
Louise Lawson, Avonne Taylor, Mrs.
William J. Fox and Edith Bobe, might
have resulted as fatally for Mrs. Per-
kins as it did to DOT King and Louise
Lawson, both of whom were killed by
robbers who are thought to have
trailed them from the Broadway pal
aces of light where they lavish1y dis
played jewels.
While the men were attempting to
subdue her, Mrs. Perkins said, she
kicked one in the stomach. He pulled
the trigger of his gun, but it missed
fire.
The victim, who was beaten into
insensibility and threatened with tor
ture by fire until she disclosed the
hiding place of her jewels, was in a
highly nervous condition today as a
result of her injuries and the shock.

NEW YORK, March 10.-Henry
Mead, a graduate student at Columbia
University, was unable after IL years
to conquer his fear of death, SO yes
terdy he killed himself, leaping to the
street from the window of his dorTni-
tory room on the sixth floor of Hart
ley Hail. He had received the degree
of Phi. b, at Brown University in
1922, and was studying for a doctor S
degree in dramatic literature. He had
registered home addresses at both
Fall River, Mass, and Brooklyn. He
was 25.
Mead left four notes behind. One
addressed to DR.. G. Alfred Lawrence,
a neurologist here, said:
You have failed"
Another, addressed to my mother"
read:
You might try to console your
self with the knowledge that 1 con-
slider this act necessary for my hap
piness, and that whatever pleases
me would be pleasing to you"
DIR. Lawrence described Mead as
possessing two conflicting personal
tiles. One was distinguished by high
hope and ambition, the other was a.
fear complex dread of death
before his time.
The police found three bottles of
poisonous liquid in Mead's room.
which led them to believe he had
considered suicide by poisoning before
he finally decided on the window. His

DAWES TO ADDRESS
BAYSTATEPATR|0TS
viii Attend Lexington-Con-
cord Battle Celebrations as
Presidents Representative.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

hk FhEDEHlC VILLA VI "1LIs
Vice President Charles G. Dawes
will next address the country in
Massachusetts, when, on April Is, he
will attend the Lexington-Con
battle celebrations as the represent
ative of President Coolidge. His
remarks on that occasion will be
primarily of a historical and pa
triotic character, but no one who
knows Gen. Dawes expects them to
be confined to that. IF. as now seems
probable, it is the Vice Presidents
first public utterance since he planted
depth charge underneath the
United States Senate on March 4, it
is regarded as a foregone conclusion
that he will return to the issue
there so explosively raised.
Overwhelmed With Praise.
The Vice Presidents Office is
deluged with communications from
the country regarding his frontal
attack on senatorial procedure.
They are overwhelmingly COM
mandatory in nature. Scores of
them are invitations to speak in
various parts of the Union. They
have arrived by telegraph, by mall
by long distance telephone and in
the form of personal calls. Gen.
Dawes has been left in no doubt that
millions of Americans were waiting
for somebody to touch, and touch
with vigorous hand.
Newspaper editorials, representing
Republican, Democratic and Progress
sive thought, join in the chorus of
approval. Only one outright con-
6emnation of the Vice President has
come to light-in the columns of a
Richmond, Va, Democratic organ.
Many papers which commend the
meat of Dawes speech deplore its
manner, especially the manner of its
delivery. But, with the exception of
the paper just mentioned, none ques
tions the justification OF the Vice
Presidents position or wastes pity on
the Senate.
"Dawes Plan" Election Issue.
This writer learns in a qualified
quarter that it has already been de-
termined to make the Dawes plan"
an issue in the 1925 senatorial cleo
tions. AS usual, one third of the Sem
ate will be elected next year. Sena-
tors who may come up for re-elec-
tion include (Republicans) Bingham,
Cameron, Cummins, Curtis, Dale,
Ernst, Gooding. Harreld, Jones, Ladd,
Lenroot, Mckinley, Rice, Moses, Nor
beck, Oddie, Pepper, Shortridge,
Smoot, Spencer, Stanfield, Wadsworth,
Watson, Weller and Willis. Demo-
Gratis who may again be candidates
in 1926 are Broussard, Caraway.
Fletcher, George, Overman, Smith and
Underwood.
The progressive West and Northwest
are conspicuous among the sections
which will elect Senators next year,
and, If the plans of those who espouse
senatorial reformation" are carried
out, it is in those regions particu-
larly that the Dawes plan" is likely
to be a paramount issue. Senator
Curtis of Kansas, the Republican
leader of the Senate, will be up for
reelection. and, as the chairman of
the committee on rules, it may devel-
op that he would bear the brunt of
the fight.
