Rats Problem
On i. S. Submarine

New London. Conn.,, March sap
The L. 5. S. vi, the largest OF the
naVy'S underSea vessels, which is at
the submarine base here undergoing a
series of availability tests, is faced
with the problem of Kidding itself of
rats. The craft recently returned to
this country from a 14,000-mile cruise
in southern waters, during the course
of which stops We're made at various
Caribbean Sea and South American
ports. 1t was at one of these points
that the rats succeeded in getting
aboard the craft, They are of the
South American species. huge. long
tailed. unturned nose rodents. and
they have multiplied very rapidly.
Officials are at loss as to what
plan to pursue to rid the ship of them.
They cannot be poisoned, for they
would then crawl away to die in the
remote parts of the hull and in the
partitions and it would be impossible
to locate them. The rodents are willy
creatures and have refused to be lured
into traps of various types which
members of the crew have set.
A clubbing party has been organ
lied aboard the craft, and, armed with
clubs, the members of the crew make
daily sallies into the storerooms and
other compartments seeking out the
rodents. Many of the rats have been
killed in this manner, but no appre-
ciable inroads have been made in the
rat colony.

Scott at Chicago
To Face Charge Of
Murder and HOld-Up

Chicago, March 3.-(AP).-Robert
Scott, trembling with fear, was
brought from California today to face
murder charges growing out of the
killing of drug clerk in a hold-up
two years ago.
Despite a writ of habeas corpus
obtained by his attorney, intended to
keep him from the custody of police,
detectives and uniformed policemen
took him to the states attorneys Of
flee, where he was to be questioned
before appearing in court on the
writ hearing. His brother, Russell,
convicted of the same murder, es-
capped the gallows only through an
18th hour insanity plea.
Robert Scott readily admitted his
identity to the prosecutor.
Investigator Richard Pendergast,
who returned Scott from the coast,
disclosed letter which Robert re-
ceived from his brother, Russell. now
in the asylum for criminal insane at
Chester, Ill. 1t said:
Don't do any talking. Wait until
you see Attorney William Scott
Stewart. There is a fund Of $4,000
collected in your defense"
Judge Steffen dismissed the ha-
beas corpus action because he held
that Scott was not in the custody of
the police. against whom the writ
had been directed.
The court said that he would per-
NIT Attorney Stewart to file applioa-
ton for the second writ if the states
attorneys office did not turn the pris-
oner over to the sheriff within the
next few hours.

ground that 1t was unsound financial
ly, clear indication was given of
what might be expected if other unfit
cation proposals should be submitted
without what the commission regards
as proper safeguards for minority
stockholders.
Chief Counsel Colston of the Van
Sweringen brothers declared the COM
mission decision, in his opinion, did
not show clearly whether a reopening
of the case was possible, although
Commissioner Lewis in his dissenting
free to revise their plans for resub-
mission to the commission.
1T will be just another $750,000
guess to be risked," Mr.. Colston as
serted. "if another effort is made to OBJ
tain commission approval"
He fixed this figure as the expense
incurred by the new Nickel Plate COM
mission in working up the case, but
estimated the entire cost of preparing
it at between two and three million
dollars.
The Van Sweringen attorney will
leave for Cleveland tomorrow morning
to confer with his associates as to any
further move to be made.
Reports that there was a possible
leak into Wall Street on the com

Eastman declaring such things was
out of the question because of the un-
usual precautions taken. Although
Representative Black, Democrat, New
York, said he would ask Congress to
investigate the leak" reports. there
were indications that commission off
Gals would take no further cogniz-

Some of the pending railroad uaifl-

Americans to
Improve Running
In Distance Events

Boston, March 3--(AP)-A new
feature to develop more and better
American long distance runners, has
been added this year to the annual
American Marathon run of the Bos-
ton Athletic Association. In the an
nouncemeRfs which were sent out
today it was set forth that special
trophy will be awarded to the club
whose first three athletes to finish
score the least number Of points.
America has been notably weak in
the long distance runs at the Olym-
pic games" Thomas J. Kanaly, secre-
A"y of the association explained.
''lhere are many clubs in the United
States such as the Dorchester club,
the Pastirile A. c., the Finnish Amer
lean club, and others whose purposes
is developing long distance runners.
ut occurred to the board of d.
rectors that the offer of trophy to
the club whose first three runners
finished best would stimulate this
form of competition. It's the S0th
annual run of the association and the
fist time such trophy has ever been
offered"
The scoring will be the same as in
cross country running. first place
counting one, second place two, third,
three. etc. Thus the club whose first
tire men have the lowest aggregate
score would win the trophy. This
form of competition, it is believed,
will encourage added entriesA by CIV
athletes an additional honor to strive
for over and above winning one of
the individual prizes.
The race will be held on Patriots
day, April 10, over the course from
Hopkinton to Boston, a distance of
26 miles, 3S5 yards. Entries will close

a meeting today, unanimously re-
elected its chairman. Representative

| headed the group in the last two
Congresses.
| 1t also instructed Mr.. Hill to ap-
! point Temperance board" of five
. from the committees membership to
consider all questions relating to
temperance" and to recommend a
means of procedure for the group.
Resides. the committee voted to
! hold an open meeting in the census
| room of the House office building
March 81. to consider the advisa-
bility of reporting a bill to modify
the prohibition law.
Representative Britten, Republic

meeting today that senator's. Hous,,
members and private citizens would
be requested to appear at the open
session to give their views on revi-
sion of the dry law. After the meet
ing, he said. the unofficial modifi-

tons brough forward
The groups meeting was held late
in the day after the prohibition
question had been heatedly debated
in the Senate and had been the SUBJ

Representative Tinkham, Republic
can, Massachusetts, told the House
that churches and other religious or
CARNATIONS were attempting to obtain
| political power by aiding in propagan-
da for "sumptuary prohibition laws"
The suggestion of Senator Edwards
! Democrat. New Jersey, for a national

clared by Wayne B. Wheeler, general
counsel of the Anti-Saloon League. to

Representative Britten issued a
| statement saying he had been assured
| by Chairman Smell of the House rules
committee that if any prohibition in
vestigation is undertaken at this Ses-
sion an inquiry into activities of the
Anti-Sa1oon League undoubtedly would
be included.
Mr.. Tinkham's address in the House,
| in which he assailed activities of a

ed repeatedly by avowed dry members.
These Interruptions were met by
taunts from the wet forces that they

penditure of vast sums of money, Mr..
Tinkham said, succeeded in adding to
the constitution "a sumptuary law

Uncover Another
POnZi Scheme in
Jersey City, N. J.

Jersey, City, n. j., March 3-(AP)
Another Ponzi-like plan for amass-
ing fortune in international ex-
change was shattered.
Paul Cuomo today was held with
out bail in police court while police
investigated the methods by which
he juggled 100000 in the last five
years. His scheme was similar to
that with which Charles Ponzie star
tied the world.
Cuomo has confessed. police said,
that his hundred or more victims will
lose from $4,000 to 100000, for he is
short that amount after his kaleido-
scopic financial ventures. Many of
the victims live in Newark, Elizabeth
and New York City the police said.
Cuomo. who is married and has
two children, said he invested the
money entrusted to him in Italian
iiras. The high rate of interest he
paid was one of the chief causes of
his collapse. He said he returned
more than $4,000 last month but
that much of it was money given
him by other investors.
