Summer people also built a little
stucco church, new since the war. The
church serves the community as sort
of union chapel. The island minister,
the Rev. H F. Huse, is a Baptist. But
during the Summer the morning serv-

visiting clergymen. Mr.. Huse holds his
morning service at Pulpit Harbor

an evening service in the new church.
Mr.. Huse is a poet. At any rate, the
beauty of this island has stirred him to

a monument to his genius in the schools
of business practice here. Mr.. Miller
and Mr.. Hart. now EaStern'S principal,
had worked together in the founding
of commercial courses, and in this work;
the assistant superintendent said, lay
Mr.. Miller's outstanding contribution to
public education here.
Graduated from the Western High
School and subsequently from the then
Washington Normal School, Mr.. Miller
first entered the public school system
as teacher in october. 1903, when he
was assigned as instructor in the first
grade of the Tyler School. His eXcep-
tional abilities as a. teacher and ad-
ministrator. however, brought him al
most immediate promotion and within
a month he was assigned 70 higher
grade in another elementary school.
He remained in the elementary schools
only one year and in January, 1904, he
was transferred to the Business High
School, where he and Charles Hart,
now principal of Eastern High School,
accomplished notable work in the set
ting up Of the business practice de-

Mr.. Miller remained at Business High
School until 1916. when he was trans
ferred to Central High School as in
structor in business practice. Teach
ing for four years, he was made as
sistant principal in 1920, at which time
Mr.. Kramer now first assistant super
was principal. Following Mr..
Kramefs promotion, Mr.. Miller, al
though not then the senior member OF
the Central faculty, was made principal
on a temporary appointment. The
appointment was made
permanent in June, 1925.
Following his graduation from the
Washington Normal School, Mr.. Miller
continued his education at George
Washington University, where he took
the college degree, which aided him in
his climb to the principalship OF the
Districts largest high school.
The dead principal was member OF
one of Georgetown's oldest families.
He was one of the most active men,
bers of the Dumbarton Avenue Metho-
dist Church, where, until his death, he
was superintendent Of the Junior and

"one of the finest men who ever lived"
and considers his death an irreparable
loss.

MARTYR
. GIVEN AID BY WIFE
Mrs. GoIdberger Of This City
Submitted to Disease
Report DiscIoses.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The story of a wife who submitted
herself to the danger of .pellagra to
prove the theory of her husband that
the disease was not transmissible is
disclosed in a routine congressional
committee report.
The woman is Mrs. Joseph Gold
berger of this city Her husband, the
late DR.. Joseph Goldberger, conquered
pellagra, identifying as disease caused
by diet deficiency and finding the food
element necessary to combat 1t after 1t
had baffled the best medical talent OF
Europe for two centuries. ,-
This physician of the, United, States
Public Health Service died last year, a
victim indirectly of the diseases he de-
voted his life to mastering. His service
is credited with saving countless thou
sands of lives. IL
Left almost penniless by her martyred
husband, with three children, MRS
Goldberger was given the sum OF S125
a month by the last Congress as q
pension. letter to the House pension
committee by Surg. Gen. H. S. Cum
ming of the Public Health Service, urg-
ing the pension, told how Mrs. Gold
berger had tested the transmisSibility OF
pellagra at a time when many medical
authorities disagreed with her husband
on this point.
"At the time when volunteers were
called for this experiment. and a num-
ber of Dr. Goldberger-s brother officers
at once offered to receive various sub
stances taken from pellagrous patients
into their own bodies as test for the
transmissibility of the: disease" DR..
Cumming related. Mrs. Goldberger
begged the privilege of representing her
sex as one of the volunteers"
Her request was yielded to reluct-
antly. and the experiment was author
lied and carried out by injecting into
the abdominal wall hypodermically some
blood taken from a fatal case of pei
lagra in a woman. OF course, she did
not become i'll of the disease, since pei
legra is now known not to be caused
in that way, but the spirit which she
showed was commendable, since at the
time the transmissibility of pellagra was
thoroughly believed in by number Of
eminent authorities. Needless to say.
DR.. Goldberger was also subject of
this experiment"

NEW YORK, May 20.-A combina-

intercostal shipping companies a re-

The Jones-White act, the more
liberal attitude of the Post Office De-

recently. the formation of the"Inter-

ping lines, all point to increased busi-
ness and profits for this class of ship
ping.
Two other factors which are still in
the nature of favorable prospects," are
the reduction OF toll rates through the

DELAYED DELIVERY
PLAN IS REJECTED
Stock Exchange Committee Re
fuses to Change Present
v. Sales System.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 20.--A delayed
delivery plan, urged by some member
firms of the New York Stock Exchange.
under which the time for delivery sof
securities would be extended from "a
to 48 hours, has been rejected by the
governing committee of the exchange.
Rules of the exchange call for de-
livery of stock by 2:15 pm. on the day
after sale and this was felt by some
brokers as being too short time to
complete all the necessary transactions.
The question was referred to spe-
cial subcommittee, which, in its re-
port advising against the new plan,
said it did so because any help provided
from such plan would not be sufa-
cient to call for its adoption and be-
cause of the possibility that its i1au-
guration would possibly cause very
dangerous results from the standpoint
Of the credit situation"

BERLIN: MAY 20-The more than
delicate friendship which was beginning
to form. between Germany and Poland
he's again been violently ripped to shreds
by the decision of the Polish govern
ment to continue the process of ex-
bropriating German landowners IN
present Polish territory. who have kept
their German citizenship,
Under 297 of the peace treaty
Poland is legally justified in doing this.
In 1919 it is estimated that about 254,-
600 acres in the region. of Posen were in
the possession of such Germans. The
Poles began appropriation with consid-
cradle harshneSs, selling property at
forced sales which failed to bring even
a fraction of its value. BY 1925 over
half of the German property had been
Uquidateds
Rowdies Attack Group.
Then the Polish government delib-
erately desisted and the Germans hoped
that the process of appropriation would
not be pushed further. Following an
unprovoked attack by German rowdies
on Polish theatrical troupe recently
in Oppeln, Silesia. the Poles decided
to carry out their legal right of ex-
preparation Although the Germans
made all possible amends, removing the
Oppeln police authorities, who failed to
protect the, Polish players. the Polish
government now seems obdurate. Dur
ing the past week 1t sold two big farms
and 43 small ones for total OF about
$4,000 acres, thus reducing the pres
erlt German holdings to about 100000
acres.
Press Condemns Poles.
This measure has been followed by
violent outbreak of the German press.
Nationalistic papers talk of Polish rob-
berry, Polish. insolence and worse. Even
moderate writers condemn the Poilsh
procedure in the strongest terms.
There is little doubt that unless the
Polish and German statesmen who have
heeh trying secretly to negotiate the
inuch-needed commercial treaty hurry
their efforts to. a successful conclusion,
this Eastern German frontier is likely,
to remain the weakest in Europa
zone where the slightest spark may be-
come the most dangerous blaze.
! Apparently there are persons on both
sides who are interested in provoking
such trouble. So long as the Poles fear
the Germans and the Germans nourlsh
nothing but resentment and contempt
for the Poles, no real peace seems pos
sible.
