FIees Embassy in Paris, CIaim-
 ing Life Threatened
By MINOTT SAINDERs

Paris. Nov. 15.-French approval Of it's diplomatic recognition of the Russian Soviet has been shaken by an incident humorous but sig nifcant which occurred recently at the Soviet embassy here, French police now are scrutiuizing com munst activities. and investigating charges that the Che!la. dreaded Soviet secret police, maintains a big force in France to keep their com- rades politically pure.
 The family quarrel broke dra- matically when Gregoirc Besso- dowsky, first counsellor tempo rarily in charge of the soviet Cm- bassy, received an unexpected visi- tor from home, enc Roisenmann, alleged to be a representative of the Cheka.
 There was 9 long and stormy interview between Roisenmann and Bcssedowsky, following which the latter tried to leave the embassy but was prevented at the door, he said, by two Russian guards armed with revolvers. He returned to his apartment. but 2t the first Oppor- tunity made dash out of the back door, Naulted two walls. broke a window in a neighboring house to gain admittance and finally made his way to the nearest police sta ton. There he waived all dipio- matic rights, asked for protection and appealed to the police 10 rescue his wife and -year-old son from the embassy.
 Charged With Heresy
 Bessedowsky now has told his side of the thrilling story. "Roi- senmann ordered me under arrest in my quarters to await transporta- ton to Moscow.' he explained. 'I was accused Of heretical beliefs and was told I would have to account for my sentiments at home, l knew what that meant-a court martial before which l would not have the right to say a word and then a firing party.
 "T refused to go and I was told,
  you do not go to Moscow alive you will go there a dead man. Re member that you are on Russian soil in the embassy and l have orders to apply your sentencc.'
 That very morning the ChCka agents had purchased a long black trunk-a coffin in which I was to be taken back"
 That's why, NJ. Bcsscdowsky eX- plains, he got off Russian soil as quickly as possible, without very diplomatic dignity, and put him. self in the hands of French jus tice- The Tntransigeant, Paris daily, charging that a strong force of the Cheka is maintained here, adds that now A intimate questions are to be put to all of the personnel of Rus sian institutions in France as re- suit of the Bessedowsky incident They will be required, the news

Consolidation of ID. C..
Marriage Records Urged

To the Editor of The Star:
The records of marriage of the Dis
trict of Columbia from their beginning
in 1900, were filed in the Office of the
clerk of the Supreme Court to August /,
1874, and are today.
On August l, 1874, Congress, by act,
provided that thereafter all marriage
returns were to be made to the Board
OF Health. This act was amended by
another, on January s, 1902, which pro-
vided that thereafter all returns were
to be made to the clerk of the Supreme
Court. This act was not strictly COM
piled with by all performing marriage
ceremonies because more were returned
to the clerk of said court than to the
Board Of Health in the period between
the passage of the acts in question.
Therefore, for the long period between
August /. 1874, and January 8, 1902, the
marriage records are divided, one part
being in the Office of the clerk of the
Supreme Court and the other in the
Health Department.
Grave errors have arisen out OF such
division. and losses to government and
individuals on the certificates of the
respective custodians that no record was
in his office, without giving notice to
party seeking record to make inquiry of
the other custodian, in whose Office, as
matter of fact. there was a record.
For many reasons, the records should
be consolidated under one head. I urge
that this be done.

and kept there almost indefinitely,
without any inspection of lifeboats and
life-saving devices, ETC., until it returns
to its own home port.
If foreign vessels desire the traffic,
both passenger and freight, between
ports of this country and the ports of
other nations, it is but right they should
submit to proper inspection in Ameri-
can ports. Too much laxity creeps into
these matters of inspection, at times,
and disaster at sea such as the re-
cent loss of the Vestris Is required to
bring the need of thorough inspection
to public attention.
Whether the ruling of the Depart
ment of Commerce is correct or not-and
at present the Federal inspection laws
apply only to ships flying the American
f1ag-the part of wisdom is to spread
on the statute books a provision that
these vessels of foreign registry must be
inspected if they are to engage in the
carrying Of passengers and freight
from American ports to other than Their
home ports. Prompt action by the Sem
ate and the House on the Jones bill
will remedy the present situation.

Delights of Delicatessen.

The American Sociological Society
presents statistics indicating that if the
family disintegrates inversely as the
delicatessen store prospers, then Ameri-
can family life is decadent. Among
other alleged significant changes of
recent years in family life presented
through statistics is a disproportlon-
ately rapid increase in bakery products.

Bearing in mind that the statistic"
is a dangerously flexible device in the
hands of the unscrupulous and the
incompetent, and with due regard for
the very large IF" which is included
in the society's statement there is a
distinct implication that the delicates-
sen dealer, whose numbers went up forty
three per cent between 1910 and 1920, or
three times the rate of population
increase, is something of mild modern
menace. In such line of reasoning
there is a certain amount of fallacy.
Remember that the menus of the
home-loving and home-staying families
are far more varied and appetizing to-
day than formerly; things unheard of
decades ago have been invented and are
now imported for the delectation of
family groups who still "eat in" If
the feminine head of such be seen often
at the delicatessen store it by no means
follows that she is neglecting her job;
she may be just giving her homefolks
better meals.
When grandfather gave a stag poker
party long ago grandmother had to be
on the job In the kitchen concocting an
oyster stew or Welsh rarebit. Now

plates and cutlery and see that there

Purveyors of delicious and exotic food
stuffs may have increased; family life
may be disintegrating, but to imply that
the delicatesSen dealer is too much
either cause or effect in this trend is to
put together two and two and arrive
at six as the result. He enjoys distinct

A Proper Safeguard.

Foreign vessels leaving American
ports for other than their home ports
would be subject to Federal inspection
laws Of this country under the terms OF
a bill introduced by Senator Wesley L..
Jones CT Washington, chairman of the
Senate commerce committee. 1t seems
incredible that these laws should not
apply to vessels sailing out of American
ports, carrying American citizens and
cargoes, to ports other than the home
ports Of the alien vessels. The sinking
Of the Vestris, with distressing loss of
life, has brought the matter to the fore.
A ruling or order promulgated by the
Department of Commerce in 1913 takes
the position that the Federal inspection
laws for steamships apply only to
American vessels. That being the case,
while there has been measure of in
spection of the vessels of foreign flag
sailing out of American ports for West
Indies, for example, it has not been as
strict and thorough as Senator Jones
believes it should have been.
The need for such an inspection law
becomes all the more apparent when 1t

Says Cats Show Fear
OF Ultraviolet Rays
EY E. E. FREE, PHI. d.

That the household cat may be less
enthusiastic than the rest of the family
over the introduction of the new "arti-
fetal sunlight" lamps emitting ultra
violet rays appears from correspondence
published recently in London, including
contribution from the we'll known
physiologist, Prof. Sidney Russ. Com
menting on the report of cat owners
that these animals shrink from the
ultraviolet rays, and even dislike to lie
in the sun inside windows of special
glass which transmit only q quarter or
so of the ultraviolet rays in sunlight,
Prof. Russ reports that the eyes of ami
mails of the cat tribe are notably more
transparent to these rays than are the
eyes of human beings. 1t may be,
Prof. Russ believes, that ability to use
these ultraviolet rays, totally invisible
to human beings, may have something
to do with the known ability of cats
to see better at night than is possible
for most other kinds of animals. 1t is
possible that the powerful ultraviolet
rays from the new lamps, which might
burn the human eye externally, but
which seldom penetrate 1t seriously,
pass into the cats eye more easily and
injure the delicate retina at the back
of the eye or produce uncomfortable
sensations in some other way. While
the scientists are settling the question
cat owners will be interested to watch
whether or not their pets show antipa-

Seeking the Facts.

In the face Of the fact that the pres
idertial candidate supporting the Eight
eenth Amendment was recently elected
by an overwhelming vote and the can
didacy favoring a change in the dry
laws or their repeal was defeated, the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment announces it proposes to
spend one hundred thousand dollars
during 1929 to investigate the real
truth about the working of the dry
laws. This is persistence, indeed.
The vets are pointing to the fact
that fifteen million men and women
cast their ballots for Gov. Smith In
the presidential race. They argue that
this is a huge vote and that it repre-
sents the wet sentiment Of the country
because of Gov Smiths stand on or
rather against the Eighteenth Amend
ment. They are unwilling to admit
that the twenty-one million votes cast
for Mr.. Hoover in the election were all
cast by "drys" Therefore the vets are
taking hope, even in this defeat.
The announcement Of the Associa-
ton Against the Prohibition Amend
ment is due notice to the drys that the
opposition to the Eighteenth Amend
ment is by no means dead. Any organ
ization which can raise one hundred
thousand dollars to put into research
work has more than a spark of life
left. The studies of conditions are
to be made in typical States of the
United States" and in several foreign
countries, including England, France

that the association will report the facts
