WOMAN LEAVES
new YORK Home
Mrs. Budlong Believed
to Be at Husbands
New Jersey Place

NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. 21.-The
whereabouts of Mrs. Jessie Margaret
Budlong was uncertain today, although
indications were that she had gone to
Newport, r. l., her husbands home.
Her husbands chauffeur declared he
had driven her to the station to take
an S:55 O'Clock train last night for New
port, where she had said she would go
to establish her residence with her
husband
All of the furniture in her husbands
apartment having been removed by his
order, Mrs Budlong capitulated at 8
o'clock last night after defying the
siege Of his lawyers, detectives and ser
wants for more than a week.
She came out of the apartment house
unexpectedly, her head held high and
her face betraying no sign of the six
days without food Wrapped in an old
coat she hurried into the waiting limou-
sine, which sped away and soon lost it
self in traffic.
Mrs. Budlong left without any final
which she has made public from time
to time by dropping her husbands
shirts with notes attached to the eager
crowd below the window of her volun-
tary prison.
Early in the day she announced her
intention of joining her husband, Milton
j. Budlong, in Newport, where he had
advised her he had established resi-
dence. Mrs. Budlong. who was denied a
separation at Newport on February 10,
had fortified herself in the Budlong
apartment here to forestall any attempt
Of her husband to obtain a divorce on
the grounds Of desertion.

SULLIVAN, Ind, Feb. 21.--A hand
full of weary, grief worn women waited
at the top of the City Coal company
mine today for their boys" while
score Of men toiled underground to re.
cover the bodies of 35 of the 81 miners
entombed in an explosion yesterday.
The list Of identified dead taken from
the mine follows:
Cecil Carly Philip Walters; Mike

eral hours the work of rescue after Is
bodies had been taken out. After r-damp,
the dread poison gas Of the mines, made
first attempts to recover the bodies
precarous, and part of the night was
spent in repairing the ventilating sys-
tens. r
new supply of fresh air made it
possible for crews to penetrate the
wrecked underground passages after the
debris from the cave in was cleared
away.
The blast trapped all the men work
ing little rooms off the third, fourth.
seventh and eighth entries of the mine.
flash of flame quickly consumed all
the life-sustaining oxygen, and the con-
cussion Of the explosion, brought down
loose coal and shower of mine timbers.
Mine experts said cutting machine,
working close to the wall of the aban-
doned mine, had cut through partition,
releasing a flood of gas that had ac-
cumulated in the old working. A
flame from miners lamp ignited the
gas and caused the explosion.
Rescuers were hopeful that all Of the
bodies remaining in the pit would be
recovered today. N
The local chapter of the Business and
professional women's clubs undertook
the task of ministering to the group of
women at the mine. The Red Cross
gave attention to the needs Of stricken
families.
In four instances fathers and sons
were victims. These were Earl and Lex
Robertson, Phillip and Wayne Walters,
Florence and Emil Lecocq, and Pearl
and Frank Hawhie.

the court to let defense witnesses prove

President Coolidge felt the effect of
his own economy campaign in the ex-

of wrestling with an ancient and dull
edged knife eraser, he made request
for new one.
Instead Of receiving the shiny and
keen edged eraser of other days he
had the old one returned to him with
the word that no new ones were left
and no authority had been given to
purchase a further supply.
The president received the news
and his old eraser without comment
and returned to work.

The End of the Garden, +"

1t was appropriate that the las.
event to be held in Madison Square
Garden, in New York, before the
wreckers took charge should have
been boxing bout, for in the main
the Garden" has been the chief snort
Ing arena of this country for third
Of century. This occurred last night,
when great crowd assembled for a
farewell show in the great hall that
has been the scene of some of the most
interesting events of this country's re-
cent history.
Madison Square Garden has become
a national institution. Opened in 1890,
it has housed all sorts of gatherings
and been the scene of every variety
OF sporting event. 1t was opened
with Strauss Vienna Orchestra and a
ballet. Then came great shows, exhi-
bitions, pugilistic encounters, the cir.
Gus, political meetings. There were
horse shows, motor shows, cat shows,
dog shows. There were flower, food
motor boat, fruit and business shows.
There were six.day bicycle races. cake
walks. balls, religious revivals So
cialists and Communists assembled
there. William Jennings Bryan spoke
there on his return from abroad with
his new idea" for Government own
ership. Its roof was the scene of one
of the country's most sensational
crimes.
1t would in truth have been more
appropriate had the Garden closed
with the Democratic national conven-
ton last July. For that was virtually
the climax of its career. Nothing like
it had ever happened before in this
country. 1t was a record breaking
and, some think. a party ybrealS king
meeting as well. Be that as it may,
the Garden reached its pinnacle of
fame in the housing of the American
Democracy in its most protracted as
semblage in history.
A full record of Madison Square
Garden during the 81 years of its eX.
istence would be an epitome of Ameri.
can activity in that more than third
of century. Science, politics, sport,
religion, amusement, fashion, inven-
ton, philanthropy have all been dem
onstrated within its walls. Now il is
to go, and the only relic that will
remain OF this remarkable place of as
semblage, show, competition and en-
terprise will be the shining statue of
Diana. which is now being lowered to
be later placed elsewhere in New
York as a souvenir of one of the big
city's institutions of the past.

Suggests Test Lines
For Motor Car Brakes
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
i would like to suggest to the d.
rector of traffic, through the columns
of The Star, that, in view of the new
regulations relative to brakes on au-
tomobiles, some facilities be provided
so that a driver may test his brakes
at intervals, such as, for instance, one
sees on the Washington boulevard just
outside of Baltimore.
This consists merely of white lines
drawn across the roadway, marking
out the distance in which a car should
stop when driven at prescribed rate
of speed in accordance with the regt-
lations in force. A signboard could be
placed at the roadside in the vicinity.
showing the regulation and Indicating
the method to be followed in testing
the brakes, somewhat as one sees at
the testing point mentioned above.
/ suppose that the director has some
such plan in mind, but the one that
mention seems to be very effective
and should cost little to keep going, 1t
is placed in position where a large
percentage of the road traffic enter
ing Baltimore City may ascertain if
its brakes are working in accordance
with the regulations which govern in
Maryland and particularly in tho
large city about to be entered.

Study and Travel.

Taking young men to sea to COM
idea. but a floating college in which
classes will carry on college work
while cruising the world is a modern
extension of the idea. A large Ameri-
can university announces that a float
ing college which will combine a
years study with a trip around the
world will sail from an American port
The steamship will be campus, dornli-
tories, classrooms and labora tories for
240 days, during which five continents
and 90 foreign ports will be visited.
The plan is interesting. Whether
travel and its thrills will combine with
serious study is d question. There is
a theory that some colleges sometimes
require that kind of mental effort
called work, while travelling in for.
eign countries seems like vacation.
Most landsmen find it hard to study
routine book lessons while ranging the
seas and taking in the sights of Eu-
rope, Asia and Africa. Many Ameri-
cans go on shipboard with intellectual
Intentions and grip full of books, but
the novelty of the sea. catching sight
of whales, shark, flying fish and
strange ships that come out of the
horizon and disappear, often cause en-
thusiastic learners to drop their books
A man trying to saturate himself with
a dull and important chapter will close
the book when his steward says, "a
waterspout is forming off the star
board bow" or 1.-The coast of Guinea
is in sight" or "a land bird exhausted
with flight is resting on the antenna, -
or "a flock of gulls is following us
waiting for food to be thrown over"
or "Mr. Jackson won the ships pool
today and is settin' 'em up in the
smoking room," or "the shuffie-board
tourney is about to begin," or there
will be horse racing and bookmaking

No Smallpox Epidemic Here.

The District Commissioners have
issued a proclamation declaring that
conditions in the District at this time
do not justify any person in remaining
out of the District by reason Of the
prevalence of smallpox here. That dis
ease is not epidemic in Washington,
though it is unusually prevalent. Gen
yisable as a precaution against the
further spread Of the disease, and the
residents Of the Capital are following
this official advice.
Reports that this disease has as
sumed an epidemic character in the
District have lately been circulated as
a result of the occurrence of a larger
number of cases than has been known
here for long period, with an un-
usual number Of deaths. But at no
time has the disease approached epi-
demic form, and it is now we'll under
control. Centers of contagion are
promptly located and the spread of
the disease is being checked. Naccina-
ltcIl Will SOOll put the community out
of danger of any alarming increase:
indeed, will probably stop the spread
altogether.
1t is unfortunate that a disposition
prevails to promote the currency of
reports of this character, which are
calculated to be seriously injurious TO
ans community as well as to cause in
convenience and disappointment to
those planning to visit it. Washington
has been exceptionally well filled with
visitors this Spring. coming in great
numbers on tours and for the purpose
Of attending meetings. SO far as
known none Of these people has suf-
fered from any form of disease con
tracted in this city.
1t is to be hoped that the Commits
sioners' proclamation will set at rest
any alarm that may be felt not only
by persons contemplating visits to
Washington. but by the residents of
this city themselves. There is no oc-
casion for anxiety on the score of a
disease which, affecting a very small
percentage of the population. is well
in hand and is being steadily fought
to a finish.

1t is enough to pry one loose from
his classic book when he hears that
after the captains dinner tonight
there will be masked ball, with prizes
for the best, worst and smallest cos
tunes" How can a man keep his mind
on what Caesar did to the Gauls

that Miss Smith has won first prize in
the bridge tournament? How can a

tinue in the company of Nepos when

Studies will probably be interrupted
on reaching port. The port doctor and
the customs officer will take up some
of the students time. Going ashore
will break the scholastic routine of the
day. The church which dates from the
crusades, the conquest or the dis
covery of America must be explored
and several strings of beads and other
useless things must be bought. When
the student gets back from his shore
trip he may be too tired or otherwise
incapacitated for study. 1t may be
that ocean travel and study can be
combined, but there will be some inter
ruptions.

Sky Pilots.

Pilots of the sea are to become
pilots of the air. Another testimonial
to the importance of aviation to the
national defense is contained in the
order signed by Secretary Wilbur of
the Navy Department establishing a
hy1ng curriculum at the United States
Naval Academy. Under the new plan
every graduate of the Naval Academy
will be a qualified aviation pilot or
observer, or both.
The order of the Secretary is likely
10 have far-reaching effect 1t con
templates changes in naval defense as
drastic as those which followed the
Introduction of steam, of the iron
armored vessel, of the submarine
perhaps more drastic than any or all
of these. Much has been claimed by
the proponents of aviation regarding
its effectiveness for both defense and
attack. Efforts have been made TO
bring about the creation of an entirely
new separate service-the Air Service
apart from both the Army and the
Navy. though TO work in conjunction
with either or both in time OF war.
This proposal has been opposed
strongly by both Army and Navy
leaders, on the ground that i. you'd
prevent that unity of command 50
vital in the successful conduct Of mill
tary and naval operations.
There have been evidences lately
that the Navy Department intends to
give more and more emphasis to NY
ing. The new order OF the Secretary
offers the final proof that this is true.
With all the classes graduating from
the Naval Academy instructed not
only in the theory of aviation and its
use in war, but also in the practical
side of flying. the United States Navy
becomes stronger first line OF de
Tense even than it has been in the
past.
The unity of command so fervently
demanded-and SO corectly-by the
military leaders OF the country neces-
sarily must be made more complete
and perfect through the plan proposed
Uy Secretary Wilbur. Furthermore, 1t
viii add a great trained au Iurce in
the commissioned personnei OF the
Navy as the years so by. The course
at the Naval Academy has become
more and more diIncuIt sas new Inveu-
tions have been adopted for the use
ot the Navy. 1t is announced that
aviation is to become a MAJOR subject
of study at the academy. The practi
cal and intensive course IN aviation
will be given the midshipmen i'll three
months additional time at the Naval
Academy, the graduating class bein:
retained there tor that purpose.
The agitation in tavOr oil greater de
velopmenL in the air forces OF the
United States in recent monLns mas in
creased the interest in that arm OF the
service. That agitation, it seems, is
bearing fruit.
