SAYS
STARS NUMBER
MILLIONS
DR.. Seares Talks to Academy
Members on Strange Solar
System

Twinkling stars, which congest
the heavens, have kept scientists
wondering for hundreds of years
where and how many there are
and those in attendance at the an.
nual convention Of the National
Academy of Sciences today admit
ted they are as far from a correct
answer now as they were twenty
years ago.
Seeing stars" the scientists adj
mitted, is. one of their favorite
recreations, and Doctor Frederick
Fl. Seares reported that results at
the Mt. Wilson observatory show
that in the whole sky at least a
billion stars could be photographed.
Quite a Few, He Says.
Il admit, however" continued
Doctor Seares, that from 1000 900.
600 to 10000, 100000 more stars are
too faint to be directly observed"
Doctor Seares discussed Sirius"
known as the most dazzling star
in the heavens, and also confided
that experiments at the Mt. Will
son Observatory bear out the Elm
stein theory
The number Of stars is so
large" continued Doctor Seares,
that complete enumeration for
the whole sky is hopeless, and, in
deed, unnecessary. for the under
lying unity and regularity Of the
system is such that representative
samples comprising but a minute
percentage of the total is sufficient
to reveal the chief characteristics
Of distribution.
Stars of all magnitudes are
most numerous in the Milky Way,
but the concentration in the galaxy
Is very much greater for faint than
for bright stars. For the sta! of
the fourth magnitude, the ratio of
the numbers per square degree in
the Milky Way at the poles is "a:
for the tWenty-first magnitude II
Is 40. The actual totals per square
degree to this latter limit are
$4,000 and 1850, respectively. The
corresponding total for the entire
sky is $50 100000. With allowance
for the fact that the very faint
stars are red, this last number is
the equivalent Of a billion stars to
the twentieth visual magnitude.
Milky Way Importance.
THE great Importance Of the
Milky Way as a structural fea-
ture Of the system is indicated by
the fact that IS per cent of all
the stars are within 90 degrees Of
the galactic plane; the remaining
two-thlrds of the sky contains but
per cent. The lateral extent of
the stellar system is, therefore,
many times its thickness

The attackers met heavy gun fire

Scheme Submitted by Ex-Sen-
ator Ball Proposes Corpora
ton to Finance Work

President Coolidge supports
new corporate project-one COM
bining the functions of bank
and building and loan associa-
tion-as a means of lowering rents
in the District of Columbia.
This was made known at the
White House today following the
receipt of information by the
President that the high cost of
financing local construction is
the real underlying reason for the
continuance of high rentals here.
Banks Lend 40 Per Cent.
President Coolidge has been in,
formed by former Senator Ball, now
a member of the District Rent
Commission. that Washington banks
advance only 40 per cent Of the
money required to erect given
building, the balance being loaned
by various finance companies at
rates of interest ranging between
Q and 90 per cent.
These interest rates. President
Coolidge holds, are entirely too
high and there can be no solution
Of the rent issue in Washington
until a way has been found to
lower them.
Hoover For Finance Reorganization.
At the present time it is inn
possible to construct apartment
houses which will rent for less than
$40 per room, the President has
been informed. Secretary of Com
merce Hoover agrees with him that
construction financing must be re-
organized in the local field before
any real relief can be found.
The President has suggested that
Secretary Hoover confer with former
Senator Ball on this phase Of the
question as soon as possible.
These facts were elected at the
White House today in response 70
inquiries as to the new rental
regulation plans which Commits
Eioner Ball placed before President
Coolidge yesterday.
While the proposal of a corpora
CESdlNu iOI Tie
financing of building projects, was
not advanced as a matter enbody-
ing the complete plans of Commits
sioner Ball. it is understood TO he
its central feature.
For Private Enterprise.
1t is made clear at the White
House today that the President
does not believe that the proposed
corporation should be governmental
In character or should have any
statutory foundation. He thinks
the matter can be left entirely to
private enterprise.
Just what positive action the
President will take in supporting
the plans has not been disclosed.
1t probably will await the confer
enres between Secretary Hoover,
Commissioner Ball and various
bankers and construction experts.
President Coolidge, 1t is said,
thinks the capitalization of such a
corporation should be between

coroner's Verdict Il That
Hilary Thomas Hudson Died
From Natural Causes

A coroner's verdict of death
from natural causes was rendered
this afternoon. following an in.
quest into the death OF Hilary
Thomas Hudson, fifty-six-year-old
attorney, living at 1925 Sixteenth
street northwest, who was found
last night lying by the side OF
the Annapolis boulevard, eighteen
miles from Washington.
An element of mystery was in
jected into the case by a woman
who refused to give her name
and who was with Mr.. Hudson at
the time he died. Friends of the
dead man are still at a loss to
explain the circumstances sur
rounding his death, where he met
the woman, or why she disap-
peared shortly after he died.
The attorney, who maintained Of
fices in the Bond building, and was
one time employed as secretary to
Senator Lee Overman Of North
Carolina, was brought into Wash
ington by r. l.. Brown, of Claren-
don, who took him to Emergency
Hospital where physicians found he
had died of heart disease.
Woman Holding Head.
Brown reported he came upon a
crowd of spectators on the An
napolis boulevard, eighteen miles
from Washington, last night and
stopped. He said a woman was
holding Hudsons head in her lap.
A mounted State policeman APP
peared later and authorized Brown
to take Hudson to Emergency Hos
pital.
iii get in and follow you into
town" the woman told Brown.
She only remained behind his car
for a short distance, Brown said,
and he then lost track of her.
Friends are unable to explain
how Hudson got out on the An
napolis pike and whom he was
with. He neither owns nor drives
a motor car. The identity of the
woman is not known to friends.
Wife Is Notified
Hudson was a married man. He
had three sons. His wife, however,
has been in Shelby, n. c., for a
number of years. She has been
notified by telegram and word is
being awaited here for funeral ar
rangements.
Hudson was associated with the
law firm of Charles J. Brown and
Company, Bond Building.
Brown said today he last saw
Hudson about 4:30 o'clock yestcr-
day afternoon. He said he did not
mention where he planned TO go
last night.

HANOVER, Germany, April %.
With military precision, the for
mer field marshal, now President
elect Paul Won Hindenburg let it
be known today that his policy
will be summed up in three
graphic words:
Get to work"
This was the news after
Chancellor Luther talked an hour
this morning with the new Presi-
dent of the German Republic.
Chancellor Luther communicated
to the seventy-seven-year-old ex-
ecutive the thanks of the nation
and congratulations in his own
behalf.
Vital Policies Discussed.
Vital points of German policy
were discussed by the two now most
important figures in European
politics. In addition they talked
over formalities of the coming In
auguration. Since Hindenburg has
personal dislike for ovations, 1T
was indicated there will be very
little of the pomp and ceremony
which usually go with such an &C.
casion.
The constitution provides that the
chancellor and cabinet ministers
shall place their portfolios at the
disposal of the president. But the
close of the conference between
President elect Hindenburg and
Chancellor Luther was taken by
political observers to mean that
Luther would continue to occupy
that office. Immediate changes in
other ministers also was said to lie
unlikely.
With Luther remaining in office
the policy to which Germany has
adhered for the last year would
continue, for a strict observance Of
the Dawes plan has been fea-
ture of his administration.
