ROOSEVELT REFlNANCE
/ ACCOUNTING IS ASKED

Horace c. Stillwell, New York broker,
Ndday fled suit in the District Supreme
Court for an accounting from the Roose-
velt Hotel Operating Co. and the H. L.
FAUST Co. for commissions alleged to be
due him for refinancing the hotel prop
efty last Spring. Stillwen says he is
entitled to $40,5 less the expenses at
tached to the loan, which he agreed to
pay, under an arrangement with the
hotel company when it employed him
March 26 last to obtain loan OF
$4,000 on the property.
Acting under the alleged agreement,
he says, the company made an applica-
ton April s to the Prudential Insur-
ance Co. for the loan under a contract
with him to pay him commission Of
Az per cent. Counsel for the company
notified him, he declares, May 9 that
the contract had been terminated, but
went ahead with the negotiations with
the insurance company and obtained
the loan July 2.
Because he does not know the amount
of the expenses which were paid to the
Rust Co. as local agents Of the insur-
ance company he asks an accounting
80 that the court may determine just
how much is due him under his alleged
contract. He is represented by Attor-
neyS Edward F. Colladay and Joseph

that there should be no cause for dis

Of short wave lengths in the United

the subject on that basis and there

CUMMING EXPECTS
NEW WFLUOUTBREAK
Surgeon General Predicts
Epidemic of More Severe
Nature Later in Winter.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Another outbreak of influenza more
severe in nature than the disease now
prevailing Is regarded as a possibility
later In the Winter by Surg Gen. Cum
ming. He said that he viewed the sit
uation at present as serious, but de-
clared that the present wave is mild
in character and that there is an ap-
parent absence of complications.
There Is little likelihood, in the opln-
ion Of the surgeon general. that the
disease will not spread over the AT,
lantic States as 1t has the west ana
parts of the South.
"This seems To be q typical Influenza
endemic" he said. land it Is similar
70 the 1918 outbreak in the mlidneSS
Of the first cases."
Deaths in the 1918 wave of influenza
were 100000 in excess OF the norl1ia, aon
number from the n1alady. and IN 1SIV
there were 100000 excess deaths, nuI
IN 1925 there were only between 1o,OuO
and 10000. Indications thus lar nave
led surg. Gen. Cumming to neheVe
that mortality this year may De greaVer
than in 1926. -
He agreed with the estimate by pub
Bc health officers that there were ap-
nroximately one million and quarter
new cases in the United States during
the week ending December 22. IhlS
Estimate was based on 240,562 cases
actually reported from all Dut seven
states. 49,, ,,,oo,,
.,,dir0 Decen1ber % were ITO, reports
fo the Census Bureau showed, as COM
nared with ATS deaths in 81 cities Tor
the previous week The surgeon gen.
eraI said that this bore out expectations
of large increase in deaths as the

commission has had since 1919 to make
an intensive investigation OF the d.

Commission was originally formed. and
that it was for this purpose the appro-
priation was made.
I'VE do not know the cause OF infiu-
enza, nor do we know how it is spread
We do know, however, that during the
last great epidemic Of influenza IN 1915
and 1919, the persons who, when they
were attacked by influenza, immediately
went to bed, sent for . doctor, and re-
manned In bed as long as the doctor
advised, were the ones who got vel

st'While we do not know either the
cause or the method Of transmission
Of influenza, the members Of the com.
mission, nevertheless. believe 1t advis-
able to recommend the customary
sanitary and hygienic procedures for
the prevention Of disease. These in
clude keeping out Of drafts, wearing
warm clothing out Of doors, not getting
overtired, keeping out Of dusty or badly
ventilated places, keeping the body In
the best physical shape, cleanliness
whether quarantine and isolation are OF
avail, and it Is our impression that little
is gained by closing of schools. On the
other hand, we feel that, notwithstand-
ing this, crowds should be avoided, and
as q precautior, it is desirable, to keep
away from other persons who have in
Nuenza, colds, or fever, OF Importance
In the belief Of the commission, is the
need of isolating cases of induenzal

Sergt. Arthur Leonard Wadsworth, jr.,
U. S, Marine Corps, his wife and three
young children, all of whom died from
the effects of escaping gas in their
Philadelphia home on Christmas eve,
will be buried in the same grave in
Arlington Cemetery tomorrow after
noon. This is believed to be the first
time that an enlisted mans children
have been buried in the National Gem
etery.
Moved by pity, Maj Gen. B. r.
Cheatham. when approached regarding
the mater by Capt. Edwin S. Bettel-
helm, jr, legislative chairman of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, sought to
find some loop hole in the strict mill
tary regulations through which the
whole family could be buried together,
due to unsual and sad circumstances
under which the family died.
Investigation showed that Sergt.
WadSworth had served as warrant Of
ficer in the Marine Corps during the
World War, and, as the regulations
permit the burial of the children of an
officer in Arlington, the arrangements
were quickly completed.

Declared Hopeless.

BY the Associated Press.
TORONTO, December 28.--The Mail
and Empire, in dispatch from Ottawa
today says that the international con-
ferences among the United States, Can
ada, Mexico, Cuba and Newfoundland
on anti-smuggling, opening January z,
and on radio, opening January Q, ap-
pear Doomed to failure before they meet.
The anti-smuggling talks will fail, the"
newspaper says, owing to the absence OF
cabinet representation from either the
United States or Canada, and the radio
meeting is doomed owing to the breach
of the agreement by the United States"
which was arrived at last August In a
conference at washington.
Breach Of Faith Charged.
"Those familiar with the discussions
at the radio conference in Washing
ton," asserts the newspaper, charge
the United States Radio Commission
with breach Of good faith, and the
facts as narrated here justify this
charge. At that conference tentative
agreement for the division Of wave
lengths was reached, but at the request
of the United States representatives
announcement was deferred until after
the presidential election.
knowing this conference (of Janu-
ary 81 was arranged, the United States
Radio Commission allocates 81 per cent
of short wave lengths to United States
stations, and have also allocated 30 out
Of 96 available long wave lengths. The
tentative agreement in August called for
two-thirds of the long and short waves
for the United States and one-third for
Canada, Mexico, Cuba and Newfound-
land. Out of 631 short wave lengths
the United States already has taken 55l
and wants share of the 50 remaining,
while of the long wave lengths all but
out Of 06 have been TAKEN"
Power Increase Proposed.
The paper says the feeling In the
capital Is that it will be better for Can
ada to increase the power OF its broad
casting stations so as to secure a place
for Canadian programs, rather than to
trust to the United States In another
ALLEGATION Of wave lengths.

LANGLEY FAMILY
TO PICK CANDIDATE
Husband and Wife to Decide
Who Will Run for Con-
gress in 1880.
By the Associated Press.

/
PIKESVILLE, KY, December 28.-
Whether former Representative John W.
Langley or his wife, the present Rep
resentative from the tenth Kentucky
district, will make the race for Con-
gress in 1880, seems to be a question to
be decided in family counsels some time
before the campaign opens.
Mrs. Langley issued a statement from
her Washington office today denying
published reports that she had decided
not to run again Mr.. Langley told in
quirers at his home here today that
he had not decided.
But we both won't run at the same
time" he added, and he laughed when
it was suggested that woman suffrage
might result in husband and wife fight
ing each other at the polls. There
will be none of that" he said.
Mr.. Langley said the recent state
ment from him that Mrs. Langley who
was elected to the Seventy-f1rSt Con-
gress last November, would not run
again was not exactly in accord with
the facts. He thought some friend
who gave it out had not understood
his entire meaning over long-diStance
telephone. He was emphatic, however,
in denying that on the occasion of his
recent pardon he had authorized the
statement that he would not again
enter politics. He said Mrs. Langley
was not at home today.
Mr.. Langley represented the tenth
district for years, but resigned when he
went to Atlanta Federal Penitentiary to
Serve q term for conSniracv tn yio1ate
the prohibition laws, though he had
been reelected while his appeal was
pending. Mrs. Langley then was elect
ed to fill his term and was reelected
last November for the full term.
Both are Republicans In a district
that for years has sent q Republican
to Congress, though she is the daughter
of former Democratic Congressman
from North Carolina.
MRS. LANGLEY MAKES DENIAL.
