In Criminal Court No. today.
Attorney John Fl. Wilson presented
certain affidavits to the court, in which
persons expressed the belief that Jack
son was of unsound mind and ire.
sponslble One of them was from
Charles f. Swan OF 1908 Columbia
road, who worked with Jackson at In
dian Head. Md. in 1918.
Assistant United States Attorney
William H. Collins entered strong
opposition on behalf of the Govern
ment Justice Hoehling ordered
recess of one hour during which he
said he would take the papers to his
chambers and consider the whole
matter.
While he was eating and sleeping
regularly in the District jail for the
past few days, arrangements for his
funeral were being made, which were
marked by an attempt to have the
War Department authorize full
military funeral in Arlington Gene
terry.
This request was made on the
ground that he was honorably dis
charged from the Army and was en-
titled to a funeral in a national ceme-
terry on that basis regardless of his
acts since leaving the service.
Request to Be Denied.
The supply division of the Veterans
Bureau was ready to pay expenses
for such a funeral in event such
authorization was obtained and in the
supply division 1t was stated that Il
flag to drape the coffin already was
arranged for. 1t was the belief in
some sections of the office of the
supply division of the Veterans Bureau
today that the funeral would be in
Arlington Cemetery. but at the War
Department, officials of the cemeterial
division Of the Quartermaster's De-
partment, announced that the request
would not be granted.
The stand of the War Department,
according to John T. Rhines, under
taker in charge of the funeral, was
based on a ruling made in 1905 pro-
hibiting burial in a national cemetery
to deceased honorably discharged serv-
ice men whose lives are taken for
capital punishment by the Govern
mept.

CONTROL
LACKING
College Suicides Blamed on
Terrific Pressure of So
Cial Life.

Lack Of parental control and the
fast pace of modern life is RESPONSE
BILE for the growing number of sui
cides among college students, Bishop
Frederick d. Leete, of indianapolis,
believes.
Bishop Leete, in Chicago for a
Methodist educational conference,
was quoted in a United Press SYM
postum from prominent Methodists
attending the conference.
1.-THE awful pressure of our social
life has much to do with this suicide
question" Bishop Leete said. 1T is
not a moral question at all. The
youth of today can't stand it. They
get more of life in ten years than /
got in twenty-five. The quantity is
too much. The strain is too much.
There is no parental control"
DR.. Daniel d. Marsh, president of
Boston University, said: 'If a per-
son is taught to believe he is only
an animal he will act like an ami
NAL. If young person has no faith
in the hereafter, and no present be-
lief in God and in the dignity of
life, he will have but little incentive
to try to lead the Godlille life"
DR.. Henry Hopkins, rector Of the
Church of the Redeemer, said that
the atheistic tendency of modern
education is one of the chief causes.

LINER OF RESCUE
FAME CRIPPLED;
SPEED CUT HALF.
Loss of Oil Supply DiSabIeS
the President Harding
Off Halifax.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The United
States liner President Harding,
which a year ago figured in one of
the most thrilling rescues in the an
nails of the sea, today was in serious
trouble herself.
Her oil exhausted by a continuous
fight with heavy seas and wind, her
speed slowed down to less than half,
the liner was moving slowly toward
Halifax and will be days overdue
reaching here. A leak in a main
fuel tank, into which salt water
seeped, was given as the cause of
her distress.
The President Harding left
Queenstown Jan. 2S and was due to
arrive here yesterday. Instead of
proceeding directly to New York,
however, it's owners announced, the
liner will head for Halifax, replenish
there it's fuel tanks and continue to
New York. The liner played the
principal role in the rescue Of the
crew Of the Italian freighter Ignazio
Florio last year.
Other transatlantic liners were
overdue because of mid-Atlantic
storms. Among them were the Conte
Biancamano, the Bremen and the
Hindenburf. They will arrive from
one to three days late.

Miss Marian Meyers, 19-year-old CO.
ed at the University of South Da-
kota, was arrested today when she
was unable to explain her presence
in the First National Bank before it
had opened its doors.
Dennis Sullivan, night watchman
at the bank. found the girl hiding
near the vaults. He said she was
concealing an electric drill when he
came upon her, but that the cord
was too short to reach the nearest
electric light plug.
An open window at the rear of the
bank is believed to be the explana-
ton of the girls presence. She was
taken into custody by county au-
thorities and subjected to a severe

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Members
of the genus sugar baby" have long
been regarded as experts at the bust
ness of decreasing the bank accounts
. Of men, but as gold diggers they are
rank amateurs compared to the ali
mony hunting ex-wife, according to
Justice James f. Smith of District
Of Columbia Supreme Court.
Justice Smith calls a spade spade
and since he weekly views a parade
of Washington wives seeking money
from Washington husbands, he be-
lieves he knows a miner when he
sees one.
"This divorce business seems to
me to be in large measure the bust
ness of gold digging" the justice
said from the bench yesterday.
"Wives who are able to support
themselves, but will not do so and
who come to my court for alimony
are going to be disappointed.
If an ex.wife is actually unable to
support herself, she deserves enough
alimony to support her but no more,
the justice asserted.
