POISONING OF BABY
LAID TO REVENGE
Woman Buyer of Drug Is
Sought-Arrest May Fol-
low Funeral.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. November ls.-A middle
aged woman, who two weeks ago
bought a small vial of chloroform al a
hotel pharmacy. was the object of
search today by authorities investigat
ing the mysterious poisoning of the
5-week-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Il. Allen in suite of the hotel
Discarding a theory that robbers
killed the baby while its parents lis.
tened to a radio in another room, the
investigators turned to the idea that
revenge motivated the staying. Joseph
o. Savage, assistant States attorney,
said the mystery had been about
cleared up, but that there would be no
arrests until after the funeral.
Ernest Hempel, drug store clerk
said he would be able to Identify the
purchaser without difficulty. He did
not recognize any of the women, in
Guiding Mrs. Allen, "a nurse and ma id
who were present when he told his
story.
Investigators have learned that Mrs.
Allen, who discovered the body, had
been in a sanitarium, suffering from a
mental disorder, before the baby was
born. The Aliens said the baby had
been placed in bed while they listened
over the radio with friend until after
midnight. and shortly after ! O'Clock
they entered the baby's room. and
Mrs. Allen found the body. The nurse
said she retired about 1890, and knew
nothing until awakened after the
child was dead.

OF SPEEDING CHARGE
Assistant Secretary of War Ac-
quilted. Court Holding Alleged
0ffense Not Proved.

col. Hanford MacNider. newly ap
pointed Assistant Secretary of War
and former national commander Of
the American Legion. charged with
speeding. was acquitted by Judge
Gus A. Schuldt late Yesterday after
noon in Police Court.
Col. MacNider was arrested Sun
day on the BladensburG road by
Policeman T. V. Garrison. He put
up SIS collateral for his appearance
in Police Court Monday.
Appearing in court Monday. the
case against Col. Mac Nider was con-
tinued until yesterday, because the
policeman failed TO show up.
Through a mistake in the clerk :
office on attachment was issued for
the defendant.
During the trial yesterday the evil
delce showed that Garrison was
driving his own automobile when he
apprehended Col. MacNider and rot
having his speedometer recently
tested could not legally state just
what speed the defedant was max
ing. The case was dismissed be
cause of insufficient evidence.
Curiously enough. Police Garrison

Warns RESIDENTS

NJ. & NJ. Secretary Says
Many Are Soliciting Money
Solely for Private Gain.

Thousands Of dollars have recently

Not only are these persons de-

actually do not exist, but they have
succeeded into getting officials. of

Methods Described.
These men. Columbus says. ap

to put on an affair of some kind
for the benefit of the organization
and then pay lump sum of 500 or
some such amount for the use of
the name. tThe officials accede, he
says. thinking it is a lesitima te
proposition. The promoters put on
the AFFAIR.", get out a program and sell
advertising ana tickets to the mer
chants who approve the alleged
purpose and thus thousands of dol
lars are pocketed by the promoters
OF the scheme. Columbus asserts.
In the last week more than 80 cases
have been called TO the attention of

tempts on the part of unofficial pro-
meters TO collect money for the bene-
fit of the local police. Federal EN-

EXPLAINS ATTITUDE
OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Lecturer Describes Viewpoint on
Unreality of Matter, Sin
and Death.

christian Science: Its Reas BILE
Appeal was the subject of lecture
last evening in the Masonic Audito-
rum by William w. Porter, G. $. b.,
Of New York City. Mr.. Porter Is
member of the board of lectureship
OF the Mother Church. the First
Church Of Christ. Scientist, in Bos
ton Mass, and spoke to large and
interested audience. He was intro
duced by Walter H. Webb. first read
err of the Third Church under whose
auspices the lecture was given.
The lecturer said in part:
christian Science has been criti-
cized frequently because of It's state
ments regarding the unreality of mat.
ter, the unreality of sin, sickness,
death; and yet the established sys
TENS of religion and medicine have
been engaged throughout their his
tories, and that, too, without criti-
cism, in the attempt to escape sin
and evil and to destroy the pains of
the flesh.
1T Is the mission and province Of
Christian Science 10 clear away and
to destroy the basic error of mortal
thought-that evil is real and that
matter is intelligent. Christian Sci
ence naturally lays strong emphasis
upon the necessity for gaining a true
understa nding of God.
"One sometimes hears the question
asked. What is meant in Christia n
Science by the term animal maget-
ism? This Is descriptive term which
Is sometimes much misunderstood.
Animal magnetism is without form.
and void II is all that is comprised
in the degrading and unworthy belief
that evil is real, and that matter is
intelligent
Christian Science declares disea Sc
TO be mental, a belief of the mortal
mind, which is dissipated and healed
by the unfolding idea of truth and
love
1T would be difficult to make a more
erroneous statement than to say that
Christian Science makes use of mental
suggestion or hypnotism in any man
ner. The use of hypnotism or suG-
gestion contemplates the action of one
human mind upon another.
The remark is sometimes heard
that Christian Science treatment is all
very well for the adult but when II
comes to the question of treating the
children some tangible and 'substan-
tiaP form of treatment is necessary.
thousands upon thousands OF
Christian Science parents are glad 10
have their children under Chrstia n
Science treatment when the necessity
for such treatment exists. II must he
recognized also that these Christia n
Science parents love their children
Just as deVotedly as do those parents
who elect to give drugs and operations
to their children"

ertN. This has been before Congress
for several years.
Fee System Opposed
While this report was under dis
cussion Dr.. Havenner asserted there
should be 4 new organic law for the
recorder Of deeds Office to do away
with the operation of that office or
the old fee basis. DIR. Havenner also
declared more up-to-date methods OF
recording deedS should be introduced
into Washington. 1t was decided to
defer this question for further inves-
tigation.
Another bill which was postponed
because the council was unable to
agree was the bill to make certain
changes in the assessment laws. One
of the amendments proposed by the
assessor Is that all transfers of real
estate be acCompa MED by a confiden-
tial statement for his office, giving
the true considera ton
DIR. HaVenner said he was opposed
to such law because he did not be-
lieve such information would long re-
main secret If enacted. He cited the
Federal income tax returns, which
originally were secret and later made
public. Mr.. Torbert also opposed such
law. declaring the sale price of prop
erty does not always represent It's true
value.
Amendments Approved.
The council approved other amend.
ments to provide for the filing of per-
sonal tax returns in May of each year
Instead OF July, which would be more
convenient for taxpayers.
The bill to turn over portion of
Anacostia Park to the Commissioners
for tree nursery was approved, but
placed in the secondary group.
The bill to transfer to the Commits
sioners land adjoining the sewage
pumping station now under Col Sher-
rill's office. vas approved following in
vestigation by Councilman George

The councilmen sent letter to
Engineer Commissioner Bell at Walter

recovery from the operation he under
went last week. They also adopted
