MARYLAND AUTHORITIES
SEARCH FOR GAIR'S BODY
Brother Of Girl He Was 70 Wed
Is Aiding-Police Not Sure
He Was Drowned.

Search for the body OF julius J.
Gair, 25, of $500 Thirteenth street, be-
lieved drowned In the SusQuehanna
near Havre de Grace, Nd, Is being
centered today on the shore line where
the corpse to beach.
This Information came from county
authorities in charge OF the search,
who added that the river at the trestle
bridge point, where Gair's coat, vest
and suicide note were found by q
bridge tender Thursday, was too deep
to permit dra gging.
Frank Snyder of 1904 NJ street,
brother of Miss Jean Snyder, %, who
was to have married Gair, Labor day,
left Washington this morning for
Havre de Grace to aid In the search.
Miss Snyder Is with her sister on va
cation in Atlantic City. and, according
to her father, has received no word
regarding the tragedy.
Local police were told that the coat
was found on the draw, midway be-
tween Havre de Grace and Perryville.
about one-half mile from either shore.
1t Is said the bridge is guarded at each
passing, and probably getting caught
on the trestle by train.
There is no certainty that Gair
drowned. Police learned of his love
affair, and also that he had lost a con-
siderable sum of money recently.
It is realized by the police that Gair
may have dropped the coat from a
moving train.

.Jazz Instrument-De-
tectiue Defends Ii.

In the midst OF the excitement over
what is and what is not indecent
music" prohibited by hidden phrase
in the police regulations, comes the
assertion by Sergt. Rhoda Milliken OF
the Woman's Bureau that any music
played on a saxophone is immoral"
Lieut.. Nina Van Wrinkle today
quoted the policewoman sergeant to
that effect, indicating. withal, tend
ency on her own part to concur in
this opinion, with certain reservations.
According to Mrs. Van Wrinkle, Miss
Milliken believes that the haunting
tunes Of O. Sax" in the hands Of
iazz-fingered player is enough to
wreak havoc with the most soul
inspiring thoughts eXtant.
Strong exception to this contention
was taken today by Officer Clarence
Talley of Chief Grants detective Of
fee, who announced several days ago
through these columns his decision to
take up the saxophone to quiet his
nerves. Since the announcement. by
the way, he has been flooded with Of
fers OF free instruments and lessons
by enterprising merchants.
THE saxophone is elevating and re-
spectacle. If treated right. Miss Mil
liken is wrong. 1t is comforting to
those who appreciate good music, and
as a sleuth soother I recommend ii
highly"

ried career in the practice Of law, both
in the District and elsewhere. Born
in Washington, he has spent most Of
his life here, and was graduated in law
from Columbia College in 1890. A year
later he won his masters degree, was
admitted to the bar and began prac-
ticing.
He was appointed assistant United
States district attorney in 1901 by
Ashley NJ. Gould, then the district at
torney. remaining in that position un-
til 1904. when he was made pardon at
torney in the Department of Justice

throughout the term OF Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham. In 1913 he resigned.

Maj. Sherman Miles disagreed with
suggestions that Bulgaria sought
ports on that coast for military pIIr-
poses, declaring that by easily Selling

OF war that country would hold a
pawn more valuable than access to a
sea controlled by the Greek navy. The

scrfoed as contributing materially to

WALLA WALI4A, Wash, August /.
Representative J. W. Summers,
Republican OF Washington, had no
thought of q fight on the evolution
Lheory when he submitted a rider to
The District OF Columbia appropria-
ion bill two years ago.
The rider, which prohibited pay
ment of salaries to teachers in the
District schools whose teachings dis
credited" the Bible, was made the
basis of suit by a Government clerk,
but Thursday the suit was withdrawn.
Mr.. Summers. on his arrival home
from the East, said the subject of
evolution was not discussed in House
debate.
"The amendment was simply de
signed to prevent teaching Of dis
respect to our Government or to the
Holy Bible and to prevent teachers
from presenting difficult problems be-
fore youngsters, expecting them to
use their immature judgment in the
solution thereof. and judging from the
stir that was recently caused in Wash
lneton the amendment Is getting the
desirable results
Mr. Summers did not believe evolu-

Baldwin Settlement Terms.
The Baldwin settlement was based
on three items:
THE owners withdrew their lock-

more definite settlement.
The owners are to be reimbursed
according to a scheme not yet def
nitely worked out for their losses up
to May l, 1925, by government sub

Viewed in this light, it is obvious
that the prime minister has gone
nothing more than momentarily delay

The majority Of the British press
bitterly berates the settlement, even
