ing declaration" of Officer Busch.
Through a misunderstanding the doc
tor, who had been in the witness
room during the morning session, had
been excused, so Capt. Frederick
Cornwell was called.
Capt. Cornwell testified that when
he arrived at Garfield Hospital about
three-quarters of an hour after Busch
was shot he found his officer lying on
a table in the emergency room. Corn
we'll said Busch told him, Captain
L am shot bad; I am through" Capt
Cornwell said he assured the wounded
man that he would recover and then
he obtained a description of the man
who Busch said shot him.
Court Is Adjourned.
Capt. CornWells testimony was
offered as a prelude to the dying
declaration" or officer Busch to DR.
Benoit. The defense, however, vigor-
ously objected on the ground that they
had not heard enough proof to satisfy
them that Busch had abandoned hope
for recovery when he told Capt. Corn
well he was through"
Mr.. O'Shea suggested that had
Officer Busch a premonition that he
could not live he would have called
for some one dear to him. Horning
replied that he had testimony to show
that a moment before Cornwell ap-
peared Busch told Policeman Brad
shaw to send for a priest and Mrs
Busch. In view of that statement
Mr.. O'Shea agreed that the dying
declaration" would be admissible.
The declaration, it is understood,
names the men who shot Officer Busch.
Justice Hitz announced that he would
take this matter under adviSement
along with the four statements until
tomorrow and adjourned court at
l o'clock for the remainder of the day,
as the jury previously had been ex-
cused.
Much of the morning session today
was given over to conferences among
the various counsel about the state
ments of their clients. Each attorney

inquired after the status of the
subpoena he requested of the court for
the revolvers of Busch and Ach.
Horning replied that he had two guns
in a box before him and that he
would be glad to turn them over IF
you will stipulate that they belonged
to Busch and Ach." They were turned
over to Archer without any stipulation
on his part, however.
Through Capt Frederick CornweIl

T|GERT HELPLESS
ON DIPLOMA MILLS
Head of Bureau of Education
Approves Publicity on Meth
DDS of Low-grade Colleges

Low-grade institutions of learning
chartered in the District of Columbia
are likely to prove exceptionally de
ceptive to persons IN other States who
link them with Government activities,
! John ]. Tigert, United States commits
sioner of education, said today
DR. Tigert expressed his approval of
recent publicity on the methods used
( to gain degree granting powers here.
The commissioner said institutions
which do not maintain high educa-
tional standards may be incorporated
under the laws of the District of Co
lumbia and of many of the States.
Those that are located at the Ma
f. tional Capital gain prestige from the
fact, and many people get the impress
sion that Congress Itself has author
lie their incorporation.
Most Students From Outside.
They secure their students in large
part beyond the borders of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Residents of the States suffer more
misrepresentation with reference to the
nature of some of these institutions
than those living in the District
Ninety per cent of the inquiries which
the bureau receives in regard to in.
stitutions incorporated in the District
of Columbia come from distant States
especially from regions in which
educational opportunities for adults
are not abundant and from people who
cannot afford to study in resident in
stitut ons."
! The bureau, it was explained, is
somewhat at a disadvantage in an
swering such inquiries, since it must
reply that they are legally incorporat
ed, although not on any of the regional
lists of gh-grade colleges and uni
versities. 1t cannot openly condemn
them as worthless institutions.
Inquiries On i'm Chicago.
1t is prohibited from drawing up its
own LIST Of reputable and honorable
institutions Of learning either in IT,
District or for the whole United
States.
The investigation of these low-grade
universities" and colleges now has
spread to Chicago, another hotbed of
such institutions, it was indicated to-
day in dispatches from that city.
A survey conducted there showed
that the American public is fieeced
out of millions annually by CORE
spondence colleges which have no
real educational standards, and many
of which are nothing more than di-
ploma mills.
In Chicago, however, a little more
capital is required to start such a
college" than in Washington Here
it can be done for $1.45, including no.
tary fees. Under the Illinois law $40
is required as an Incorporation fee, be
sides the cost Of getting the papers
attested.

President Urges
$l85,OOO to Danish
Hot Air i'm Senate

President Coolidge agrees with
Senators that something ought to
be done about the hot air in the
Senate chamber.
He has. therefore. sent TO the
House appropriations committee a
supplemental request for $lS5.O 900
to install machinery for ventilating
it.
Many Senators have complained
that a day in the Senate is about
enough to gas" even the most
healthy person. The Senate cham
Der long has been noted for its lack
of fresh air. and members of the
senior legislative body say they
often feel depressed after being
subjected to the close atmosphere.

WHITE PLAINS. y. Y, January
27.-Counsel for Edward West Brown
Ing after study of the testimony given
the last two days here in the separa-
ton suit brought by the real estate
man against his young wife, the for.
mer Peaches Heenan. viii endeavor
to offset this evidence. beginning next
Monday.
Browning, who was denied a bin Vt
particulars some weeks ago. has
learned in two days testimony by his
wife. her mother. friends and doctors
what the specific allegations Of cruelty
against him are. These charges con-
stituted his wife's answer TO his suit
accusing her of abandonment.
The wife's case is complete except
possibly for testimony by an alienist.
A recess was taken yesterday at the
request of Browning's counsel
Open Hearings to Continue.
The hearings will continue open IS
the public. AS 70 a protest from John
s. Summer of the New York Society
for the Prevention Of Vice, Justice
Seeger said he had found nothing To
lead him to believe that the parties In
the action had ever sought secrecy.
The policy of our law is against
secrecy except in such cases as are
definitely set forth in the law" he
added, and secrecy is likely to breed
perjury, as witnesses telling their
story in open court realize that what
they testify may reach those who
could contradict them if they testified
falsely"
Brownings counsel is preparing a
brief citing authority for the admis.
sion Of diary kept by Mrs. Browning
before her marriage and ruled out by
Justice Seeger.
The lawyer. John +. Mack, first Of
fered in evidence a diary that
Peaches" at first testified was an
exact copy of an original kept by her.
Henry Epstein. her lawyer. later IN
formed the court Peaches had told
him that the copy omitted the names
of boy friends. Mr.. Epstein then pro
duced the original, and both diaries
were offered by Mr.. Mack.
Browning to Take Stand.
Another high point in yesterdays
hearing was when Miss Marian Tus-
sey, a friend of Peaches" testified
that Mr.. Browning had offered to
make ii interesting" if she would
'recollect" any occurrences that might
act against his wife in the separation
suit. She said she promptly infOrme1
Mrs. Browning of the proposition.
Browning denied rumors that he
planned dropping the suit.
Browning took to New York his big
black case with the red "E. w. B"
initials on il. The case contains much
of his evidence against his wife, love
letters by which he hopes to show
that he was an affectionate husband
and that his wife left him "wilfulIy
and without cause" Some letters
have been put in evidence but not
read.
Browning is expected to take the
stand to defend himself

INDIANAPOLIS, January 27.--A
fist fight between Powers Hapgood
of Cresson, Pa, Harvard graduate and
son of a prominent indianapolis
manufacturer. and sergeant-at-arms
temporarily disrupted today's meeting
of the United Mine Workers of
America in convention here.
Hapgood, who claims to be a dele
gate, but whose claims the credentials
committee ignored, attempted to
speak on q resolution assailing the
United Mine Workers Journal, official
publication of the union, for not print
ing the views of the minority faction
of the miners.
President John l.. Lewis denied
Hapgood the floor and when a ser
geant-at-arms attempted to seat him
Hapgood resisted. The melee followed,
but soon was quelled.
Once Expelled as Radical.
Hapgood claims he is denied a seat
in the convention because of his OPP
position to Lewis. The young man
recently was expelled from a Penn
sylvania district of the union be-

cause, it was asserted, he is not a
miner. Hapgood is a prepayment of
naturalization of the mines.
Administration leaders today pre-
pared to meet an expected assault
upon administration policies by the
opposition minority.
The antagonism of the minority
burst forth on the floor yesterday
with spectacular demonstrations by
minority leaders led by John BrOphy,
president of the Pennsylvania district.
Brophy was defeated recently for the
presidency of the union by Lewis,
| whose conservative policies were up
held yesterday in all resolutions adopt

BrOphy ArOuses Lewis.
Brophy aroused Lewis ire at sew
eral points, first by making a spirited
address from the platform, charging
'VaCilla ting methods of unioniZing the
non-union fields and by demanding a
publication of local union returns
from the 1924 election of international
officers.
Only 100 of $50 resolutions intro.
duced were acted upon. The delegates
defeated an effort to put the miners
on record in favor of the Soviet Rus
sian government and denounced "the
attempted destruction of the Ameri-
can labor movement" by communistic
propagandists. The convention re.
jected approval of labor party.

GAR|bALD| FINDS
TEMPORARY HAVEN
England Permits Him to Stay
While U. S. Decides Wheth-
err to Admit Him.


FOLKESTONE. England. January
27.-Notification reached the local i'm
migration officials from the home of
flee today that no obstacle would be
placed in the way of Ricciotti Carl
baldi passing through England on his
way to the United States. lie arrived
at FOlkestone by steamer from Bou-
logne yesterday, and the home office
decision means that he will not have
to return to France.
Garibaldi, who was ordered by the
French government to leave France
before midnight last night. had hoped
to sail from Havre for the United
States. Fearing that the immigration
authorities at New York might not
permit him to enter because of his con-
viction on the charge of illegal pos
session of arms in connection with the
recent Catalonian revolt plot, he de-
cided to come to England to await a
decision of the American State DE
partment as to whether he would be
allowed to land.
On his arrival at Folkestone he told
the correspondents he hoped to sail
from Southampton for Cuba February
2, proceeding TO New York from Ha-
Vana.
Permission to land in Cuba is not
given by the immigration authorities
to persons expelled from another coun-
try unless they are Cuban citizens, it
was declared in a dispatch from Ha-
vana. Thus Garibaldi may have new
difficulties when his steamer arrives
there.
Washington has indicated that con-
siderable trouble probably would be
met by Garibaldi if he carries out his
intention of coming to the United
States. The United States consul gen.
eral at Paris was instructed not to
give him a visitors passport visa I'M
less it was definitely established that
he was to make only a temporary stay
in the United States. It was pointed
out that if he should try to enter as
an immigrant the immigrant regula-
lions would hinder him.
