ENGINEER UNCONSCIOUS
 AS TRAIN PLUNGES ON
Alert Conductor Pulls Emergency Brakes-Engine Pilot Dies
 In Hospital

Altoona, Pa, Dec. 11.-F-A mystery of the rails. resulting in the death of Reuben E Crum, of Harris burg, engineer of the Red Arrow ex- press, was being investigated today by Pennsylvania railroad officials. Crum died in a hospital here last night a few minutes after he had been taken from the cab uncon- scious
 First intimation that something was wrong came when the train, No s9, bound from New York to Detroit. rolled through the station at 9:15 p m, without making the regu- lar stop. Frank T. Hess of Harris burg seized the emergency brake cord and the train came to a stop several rods past the usual point.
 Crum was found unconscious in the cab. slumped in his seat and blood running from a wound in his head. Members of the train crew said that the position of the brake lever and throttle indicated the train was under control and that Crum was slowing down for the stop when he lost consciousness.
 Thus far officials have withheld the statement of the Fireman Victor E. Shelley. of Harrisburg. So far as known there was no witness to the accident.

DEFENSE CONCLUDES CASE
 WITHOUT CALLING FORMER
 SECRETARY TO THE STAND
MAY GO TO FOR TREATMENT Seen as Possible Means of Saving Life-Political
 Phase Studied

Bucharest, Rumania, Dec. 11.-tN Discussion as the advisability of removing King Ferdinand to Paris for radium treatment at the Curie institute has been resumed in gov ernment and roya, circles.
 When Professor Regaud of the Paris Pasteur institute came 10 Bucharest a few days ago he pro- posed that the monarch be taken to Paris. The government. however, at that time was not willing to ac- quiesce. Professor Rigaud has now returned to Paris and 1t Is under stood he Is discussing with the Curie institute arrangements for the variously reported as suffering from an intestinal ailment and cancer. Radium is extensively used in cancer cases.
 Official circles are absolutely si- lent on the question of the removal of the king to Paris. but 1t Is felt that the trip to the French capitol would be good thing for two req sons--First, the kings life might be saved, and. second, should the king die In Paris 1t would eliminate the necessity of having former Grown Prince Carol return to Bucharest. It is considered that should the king die in Bucharest, refusal by the gov ernmcnt to grant Carol permission to return would place the govern ment in a bad light and create sym pathy for the errant son who abdi- cated his right to the throne and left Rumania.
 On the other hand some of the leaders here are of the opinion that with Ferdinand in Paris. Carol. al- ways the kings favorite son, might Induce Ferdinand, especially in his enfeebled state of health. to forgive and forget and reinstate Carol in dynastic rights.

JUDGE OPPOSES LAW;
 WON'T GIVE MAN LIFE
Baumes Statute in New York Assailed by Justice
 in Theft Trial

New York. Dec. Il R>-Rather than send Negro to prison for life following a fourth convection for theft. County Judge Franklin w. Taylor, has threatened to resign.
 If to be judge means to be a moral coward. am ready to resi- n from the bench immediately" Judge Taylor said in defense of his attitude on the states so-called Baumcs law before the appellate court in Brook lyn.
 Against the demands of District Attorney Dodd that he return Harry Simmons, convicted of stealing $116 flcm the Comm monwealth Fuel Com- pany, to Sing Sing for life term, Judge Taylor imposed first sen tence term despite the Negro's record as fourth offender. Justice Lewis of the supreme court ordered Sim mons resentenced and Judga Taylor appealed.
 There are those why cry for au- tomatic punishment" Judge Taylor argued. Tt is my observation. how ever. that all fourth offenders are not all habitual criminals Many felonies are comparatively trivial.
 T have sat in John D. Rockefel- ler's Bible class with reformed criln- inals. many of whom I know have gone straight Those persons who frantically cry for reaction and de- mand the life sentence for all fourth offenders, regardless of the merits of particular cases. disregard the fact that some day they, too. will be asking for mercy when God is their judge
 The words "shall' and must" in the Baumcs law. Judge Taylor as- serted indicate permissive action.
 District Attorney Walsh. appear ing for Mir. Dodd, argued that im- position of the life sentence was mandatory and not optional, and that Judge Taylor had no other course than ordering a life term in Simmons case.

WOULD CLOSE STREETS
 TO PROTECT CHILDREN
School Board Sees Traffic Menace on Two
 Thoroughfares

In q letter to the board of edu- cation yesterday, officers of the Elihu Burritt school told of the great dangers children playing on the school grounds experience be- cause of meager playground accom- modations. They recommended the following Improvements: Detail of traffic officer at junction of North and Clark streets; closing of Lee and Clark streets during certain hours. and enlargt .nent of playgrounds.
 Supt. Holmes said he wrote 10 the police department and in the reply from Chief Hart, which was read at the meeting, it was stated that the officer In that section has to patrol a beat and might be called away for arrests. The chief said the officer would be near the school as much as possible during the hours of closing.
 According r. the letter. 1000 pu- pils are affected. It was the opin- ion of the board that there is little traffic on Lee and Clark streets and that the thoroughfares could be closed without working great hardship.
 During the discussion Committee man Mc iris Sake related the dan gers of tr if and urged that meas ures be taken to educate the chil- dren to safety measures. He said one mute g. day before the close of each session of school should be set aside to urge the pupils to be careful. The need is greatest at the present time, he said.
 Although the members believed that closing the street to traffic Will be a new Dian. they voted to recom- mend this On an amendment s'g- gestcG by Committeeman Levitt of the school accommodations commit tee th recommendation relative to playground accommodation was tabled indefinitely since the commit tee had only appropriations for school construction.
 The upward revision In salary or school teachers as outlined in the last evenings Herald were approved 
 bv the board. It was found that the increases granted teachers in elementary and high schools places New Britain's salary scale in a faV- orable position in comparison With other schools throughout the state.
 The school accommodation com- mittee was given power to enter into n contract for equipment for the Nathan Hale Junior High school annex.
 Tn a letter to the board Principal Vessels of the Nathan Hale school stated that there were about 100 boys in school who were in radio clubs and he recommended that radio be purchased at a cost Of $64.50. Supt. Holmes spoke favor

LABOR UNION OBJECTS
 ID CANADIAN WORKERS
Wants Border Commu~ ters" at Detroit Barred
 From Jobs ill U. s.

Detroit, Dec 11-lP)- Canadians who commute to Detroit and who, labor leaders say. compete with American workmen, have come un- der the scrutiny of the federal gov crnmcnt.
 The government wants to know about the 10000 Windsor, Ont, residents who are said by the De- troit federation of labor to commute daily to Detroit where they earn wages which the federation thinks should go to American citizens.
 A protest against the committing Canadians was lodged by the fedora ton with pr. P. l.. Prentis. district director of immigration, and remedial action urged. Dr. Prentis put the matter up to Washington, and last night Harry Hull, commits sioner general of immigration, or dered Dr. Prentis to obtain detailed information about each Canadian worker who passes through the i'm migration office here.
 The objections to Canadian labor competition comes at a time when some Detroit plants are working only part time. or partial shifts be- cause of seasonal slackening throwing many American workmen out Of employment.
 Federation leaders have denied that their objection is to Non-union workmen, claiming, that the bar should be raised against all workers living on the Canadian side, wheth- CT they hold union cards or not.

RETURN TO CATHOLIC
 CHURCH HER AMBITION
Mrs. Charlie Chaplin Plans to Again Embrace
 That Faith

Los Angeles, Dec. II pNThe Times says Lita Grey Chaplin, es- tranged wife of Charlie Chaplin, has announced her intention of return ing to the Roman Catholic church. which faith, she says, she renounc- ed when she married tn film come dian. She would have her two children baptized by the Catholic church so that they might enjoy the consolation" she says she threw away"
 She is quoted as follows:
 Now that my marriage has turn ed out to be failure I can return to my church. My mother and my grandparents were raised and grew up as devout members of the Rom an Catholic church.. In my efforts to promote marital happiness, consented to stake everything and turned my back on my family's re- ligion. Now I can turn to the faith of my childhood"
 Mrs. Chaplin explained that her separation fom the Catholic church occurred at the time of her mar riage to Chaplin two years ago. The marriage could not be recognized by the church because Chaplin had been divorced. His first wife was Mildred Harris, film actress.
 T felt the separation from the church most keenly at the times just after my two babies were born. I wanted them baptized in order that they might enjoy the consola- ton l threw away. But in defer ent to the wishes of their father, I never had that done. Now, when return to the church they will go ing" Mrs. Chaplin said.

Shapely Limbs Not Nearly as Important in Charm ing Masculine Sex, Ac- cording to Some Promi- nent Feminine Notables in New York.

New York. Dec. Il P>-Bewitch- ing eyes and provocative mouth hold q greater charm for men than shapely legs in the opinion of somc of New York's feminine notables.

 Girls cultivate your legs above your mind. They are your most i'm portant asset. They count over edu- cation. intellect and culture"

Fal-Dobeny Oil Con- spiracy Case to Go to Jury Early Next Week John Mccormack Gives Testimony.
Singer Called as Character Witness for Aged Mag nate-G0vt. Not to Call Hughes in Rebuttal.

Washington, Dec. II R)-The de- fense rested today in the Fall-Do- heny oil conspiracy trial
 The attorneys for Edward l.. De- 'heny and Albert B. Fall announced their readiness to send the case to the jury within a few minutes after the opening of todays session of court
 They abandoned the proposal 10 have Fall himself take the stand as Doheny had done and explain the story of the s1o0.oOo that passed be- tween the oil magnate and tho then interior secretary in 1921, before Doheny's oil interests were awarded the lease to Elks Hills.
 Mccormack Called
 The case in behalf of Doheny was rested late yesterday and two char acter witnesses were called for Fall. One of them was Postmaster Gen. eral New. Today the Fall attorneys said they were content to rest with into the record, but the Doheny counsel got permission to reopen their case to hear John Mccormack, the singer. as a character witness for Doheny.
 At the same time the prosecution disclosed that it had abandoned the idea of calling Charles E. Hughes as government witness in rebuttal.
 Then Owen J. Roberts. for the government, began the presentation Of the prosecution's rebuttal. It was indicated that the case would go to the jury carly next week.
 Action is Surprise
 Sudden termination of the de- fense case apparently surprised the prosecution. It had been decided on in overnight conferences among counsel, who assessed the possible effect of several big developments during yesterdays session. These included the resistance of Doheny himself to the penetrating cross examination conducted by Roberts. and the refusal of Secretary Wilbur to produce confidential navy records on which other witnesses have tes- tifled to "war scare" in the Pacific in 1921, when Doheny took the first of his oil leases-a contract to build q naval fuel oil base at Pearl liar Dor. Hawaii
 The defense attorneys did not pro- test Wilbur's stand, apparently be- lieving that nothing would be gained by seeking to probe. into naval secrets which now remain . mys- tery before the jury.
 It is the defense contention that Doheny, after being told of a threat of national danger In the Pacific, en- tered upon the leasing arrangement as q patriotic duty, and not as the result of criminal conspiracy with Fall.
 Mccormack. the only defense wit { ress called today before the. case was rested. raised the full tone of his voice in defense of the good rep utation of Doheny. with whom he said he was well acquainted.
 Rcbuttal Starts.
 Roberts began the rebuttal by reading letter from Rear Admiral J. K. Robison, who represented ;,.e navy in the leasing negotiations:
 The letter was dated March 2i, 1922, and was addressed to the late Representative P. H. Kelly. then chairman of the house naval affairs

 Pedestrian Gives Alarm
 At about 6:43 a. m.. he attention of Officer Con Connolly, who was on desk duty at police headquarters was attracted by a passerby 'npping Oh the window. The officer walked over to the window and looking in the direction to which the person outside pointed. noticed large clouds of smoke rolling from a building in the vicinity of the west end of the freight yard. He called fire head quarters, and Squad A. Hose Con- rany No. 1 and Hose Company No. ? responded.
 AL aDout lhe same tune tnlS call was received. another call came in from an engineer on passing train. which had stopped at the passenger station to notify headquarters that two freight cars were on fire.

This call was found to be incorrect, the engineer being unable to see the count of the clouds of smoke.
