But there need be no fear that the

Nor can there be any misgiving that

Federal Jury in Cleveland to
Hold Day and Night Ses-

CLEVELAND, Ohio, February 3D.
The Federal grand jury investigating
an alleged nationwide bootleg alcohol
conspiracy began the third week of
it's deliberations here today with the
intention of winding up the inquiry
before another week end If possible.
To speed up the investigation, both
night and day sessions are to be held.
A. Z. Bernstein, district attorney,
was expected to return today with in
dictments drawn up for more than 20
persons implicated in the alleged con-
spiracy, after having spent the week
end in seclusion while preparing them.
Subpoenas served during the last
few days by Treasury Department
intelligence men in Baltimore, Phila-
delphia, Pittsburgh, Atlantic City and
Providence will bring in new witness
es today and tomorrow. Through
them the grand jury will endeavor to
strike at the Eastern ring that is be-
lieved to have controlled the Nations
Illicit alcohol supply.
Several details remain to be con-
sidered in regard to the Western end
of the conspiracy, which is believed
to have been concerned more with dis
tribution of alcohol than with its man
ufacture.

Washington voteless plight was
referred to as q trayesty on every
thing American and democratic by
Representative Upshaw of Georgia in
a Wash1ngton's Birthday speech be-
fore q meeting of the North Capitol
Citizens Association in the Sunday
school room of the United Brethren
Church, North Capitol and r streets,
last night. He deplored that boys
and girls in the Nations Capital. ''at

peating the oath, pledging allegiance
and saluting the flag and imbued with
the spirit Of everything American, be-
Ing compelled on reaching II years
of age to move to Maryland or Vir-
ginia or some other State in order
to attain complete citizenship with
the right of the ballot"
Washington, he said, would use all
means at hand, including the Army
and Navy, to blot out the illicit liquor
trade and enforce the eighteenth
amendment. He concluded his talk
by reading copy Of Washingtons

tendency toward profanity in the
Army was deplored.

mendation Of the committee on pub

FRENCH GET CROWN
JEWELS OF RUSSIA
$2,924,550 Paid for Part of
Imperial Gems as American
Group Is 0utbid.
By rho Associated Press


MOSCOW, February 2S.-DIamonds,
emeralds and sapphires, weighing
about 10000 carats and comprising
part Of the Russian crown jewels, be-
,ame the property yesterday of
French diamond merchants, who paid
The Soviet government S2,924 $50 for
the lot, or S135, 500 more than offered
by American jewelers..
Among the jewels was the magnif1-
cent crown worn by the last empress.
1t Will be disjointed and the stones
scattered on the French market.
jewelers. from a dozen capitals, who
had flocked to Moscow when it was
announced that the government in
tended to dispose Of the imperial
gems, commended sharply against the
Americans for possession of the
jewels. Most Of the bidders, however,
retired when the government decided
that it would sell only minimum of
$500 900 worth of stones at one time
This left the field to the Anglo-Ameri-
can group and the Armenian buyer,
Frankiano, representing number Of
Paris firms.
The government had accepted
E'rankiano's initial offer of $685. 900.
when William ResWfck, a New York
lawyer, representing the Anglo-Ameri-
can group, alleged to the Kremlin Off
Gals that his group had not been given
n fair chance to counter Frankiano'S
bid. The government thereupon an
nulled the sale and ordered new bids.
The Anglo-Americans then made a
fresh offer of S2.7S8,750, but this was
topped by E'rankiano with 1924, $50,
and the gems became the property Of
the firms he represented.
Although the Americans thus lost
the first chance to acquire q part of
the famous imperial treasures, the in
rercession of the Americans added
t305,550 to the Bolshevik treasury
which the government would other
wise have lost.

BALTIMORE, Md, February 3d.
Johns Hopkins University yesterday
celebrated it's half-century anniversary
with an announcement of an impend-
ing return to it's first principles of
graduate instruction and research.
The alma mater of Rowland, the
physicist; Remsen, the chemist; Os.
Ter, the physician; Sflverter. the
mathematician: Morris, the classicist;
Martin, the biologist, and Gildersleeve,
the Grecian, will abolish the purely
undergraduate first two years Of its
present curriculum and devote itself
to research and preparation for re.
search.
When the vision Of President Frank
]. Goodnow and its board Of trustees
has been realized, Johns Hopkins will
grant doctor Of philosophy and mas.
ter degrees only outside Of its medical
and engineering schools. No date has
been set for the change. 1t Is est:
mated that an additional endowment
Of at least $6,ooo,000 will be required
to nut the plan into full effect and
to make available higher salaries ito
enable the university to add to the
faculty men Of outstanding ability
Results Exceed Estimates.
Fifty years ago, when the univer.
sity's first president, Daniel Colt Gill
man, was inaugurated, the trustees
determined to devote the resources OF
Johns Hopkins to graduate education
and research--at that time regarded
as a new and important venture In
American education. The results
