violated the terms of a contract
under which she had agreed not
to enter employment of similar
nature with any other firm, be-
fore November 4, 1890, Harris
and Ewing, prominent photo,
grapherS, has appealed to the
District Supreme Court for an
injunction.
Attroney Sehg C. Brez repre-,
sents the photograph concern,
which complains that when Miss
Roberts began working for the
firm last April 8, she entered into
an agreement not to divulge the
business methods of her EN-.
ployer, or to solicit business for
any competitive firm before the
expiration of one year after she
left the employ of Harris and
Ewing.
George Harris, president of the
petitioning firms, informs the
court that the defendant severed
her employment with his organ

studio, for which she is soliciting
patronage from among customers

tive to the Smith company Rep
resentative Frederick N. Zihlman,
of Maryland, a director of the
company; G. Bryan Pitts. chair
man of the board of directors,
and C. Elbert Anandale, first
vice president. The latter two
were indicted in May for per
jury in the Hamilton Hotel case.
A number of other officers and
directors have been called.

ers of the company, delivered
in response to SubpoenaS signed

MANY WILL
GET NEW
i. POSTS

One Of the greatest Shake-ups
In history in the management OF
the Republican party in the Sen
ate today appeared likely as a
sequel to the death Of Senator
Francis E. Warren, veteran dean
Of Congress.
The passing Of Warren left q
vacancy in the chairmanShip OF
the powerful Senate Approprla
tlons Committee, which annually
handles appropriation bills total
ling between three and four bill
lions Of dollars. This important
post always has been a goal OF
young Senators because OF Its
tremendous prestige and influence
upon governmental affairs.
SmOOt First in Line
Three veteran Senators are IN
line for the post, ranking in order
Of seniority thus: Reed Smoot OF
Utah, Wesley l.. Jones of Wash
ington, and Frederick Hale OF
Maine.
If Smoot wants the post, 1t will
be his, but he first must resign
his Craftsmanship of the equally
important Senate Finance Com
mittee, with it's control over tariff
and tax reduction legislation. Il
Smoot declines the post, it will GO
to Jones, and if the latter should
sidestep it because of i'll health
Hale will fall heir to it.
The promotion of any one Of
these three Senators will result IN
further Shake-ups among commit
tee chairmen. Some Of these
changes, indicating the far-reach
ing potentialities Of the shake-up
follow:
Of Smoot takes appropriations
chairmanship).
Finance Committee: Senator
Watson, of Indiana, or Senator
Reed, of Pennsylvania, promoted
to chairman, vice Smoot.
Military Affairs Committee
Senator Greene, Vermont, OF
Senator McMaster, South Dakota
promoted to chairman, vice Reed
IF Jones gets appropriations
chairmanShip).
Commerce Committee: John
son, of California, promoted tc
chairman, vice Jones.
immigration Committee: KeyeS
of New Hampshire, promoted to
chairman, vice Johnson.
Public Building Committee
Fess, of Ohio, promoted to chair
man, vice Keyes. .T
Library Committee: Gillett, OF
Massachusetts,, promoted to chair
man, vice FesS.
Promotion for Oddie
tIf Hale gets Appropriations
Chairmanship).
Naval Affairs: Oddie. Of Ne
vada. promoted to chairman, vice
Hale.
Mining committee: Goff. Of
West Virginia, promoted to chair
man, vice Oddie.
In addition to these changes
the placing of Watson as chair
man of the finance committee
undoubtedly would lead to his
resignation as republican floor
leader, Just as Jones would be
expected to resign his assistant
floor leadership if named head
of the appropriations committee
Thus, the changes may Include
new floor leaders for the repub
1ican nartv in the senate,

BIC WORK DONE,
So HOOVER
+. RESTS

President Hoover took a breath
ing spell today from the business
conferences which have occupied
him almost exclusively for the
past 10 days as he sought ways
and means to overcome the de-
pressing effect of a giddy stock
market, and to insure winter OF
god business.
Ffguratively, Mr.. Hoover leaned
back in his chair and surveyed
these accomplishments:
l. Federal and State govern
ments are cooperating in the
greatest public buildings and pub
Tic improvements program ever
attempted program that will
call for the expenditure Of well
over $1,000. 100000.
Railroads Energized
2. Railroads have been ener-
gized to proceed with a billion
dollar program of expansion and
equipment improvement. "
8. The utilities interests Of the
country have in the making ex-
pansion and improvement projects
that will call for the expenditure
OF almost another billion during
the next year.
4. The menace Of strikes and
extensive lay-offs has been re-
moved by the promise Of indus
trial leaders that there will be
no Wage-cutting and of labor
leaders that there will be no wage
agitation while the business
situation is uncertain.
S. Agriculture, long a sore spot
in the general business Set-up,
gives definite promise Of get
ting more firmly on its feet than
at any time since the postwar
deflation period. The new farm
legislation has had a vitalizing
and Steadying effect, and grain
prices are improving.
Money Easy, Credit Ample
s. Money is easy and becoming
easier, assuring ample credit IA
cilities for business growth and
expansion.
These are the high-lights of
what has been accomplished since
the acrobatics Of the stock market
sent shivers Of apprehension down
the spine Of business, and held
up to administration officials the
bogey-man Of hard times"
There have been other de.
VelopmentS contributing to the
main currents of renewed conf.
dence, such as the Governments

ing, and others, but they have
gone into the general mosaic that
Mr.. Hoover has attempted to ex.
h1bit to the country.
From now on. it is up to bust
ness itself to work out its own
salvation, in the viewpoint of the
administration. For nearly two
weeks, every department Of Gov.
ernment, from the White House
down, has been concerned with
but this single problem of
energizing business, and the gov
ernmental agencies have done
about all they can consistently
do. The Government cannot
manufacture the goods nor sell
them; it can only point the way

Biologist Sad
Over Slur in
Wife's Suit

One of the worlds greatest
SCIENTISTS man who has been
honored by many scientific or
ganizatfons, and who if he wished
could add half the letters of the
alphabet after his signature-Sat
today in the biological section Of
the New National Museum
heartbroken.
Out of a career effulgent with
the light Of scientific research
has come a staggering blow that
has left DR.. Paul Bartsch. cura-
tor of the National Museum and
professor Of biology at George
Washington and Howard Univer-
sites, metaphorically gasping for
breath,
At a. time Of life when he and
his wife should be basking in the
sunshine of connubial happiness,
along came q suit for divorce
filed by Mrs. BartSch, in which
it was charged her husband used
her for a biological specimen. |"
Will Not Answer
Today, DR.. BartSch. surrounded
by his test tubes and micro
scopes in the ,cloiSters of his
laboratory, told a Washington
Times reporter he will answer his
wife's suit for limited divorce
but his answer will be the despair
ing cry of a man who has been
disilluSioned, whose heart has
been broken.
DR.. Bartsch did not deny he had
used his wife as a biological
specimen. but, he added, there
was absolutely nothing wrong
with our conversations"
What are we all but biologi-
cal SpecimenS?" DR.. BartSch
asked. And man is the highest
development in the biological
field.
st have long specialized in mod
ern studies into the realm OF
physiology. And I saw nothing
out of the way in the discussions
Mrs. BartSch and I had of blologi-
cal subjects.
Nothing Improper
Mrs. Bartsch is not biologist,
but she now claims our biological
conversations were offensive to
her, Her statement as reproduced
in the newspapers might lead the
reader to believe that something
highly improper occurred at these
discussions. Nothing can be
farther from the. truth. There
was absolutely nothing improper
in our conversation.
DR., BartSch repeated this last
sentence several times, ais voice
breaking with emotion.
At this juncture, with almost
pathetic earnestness, DR.. Bartsch
said:
MY very heart and soul aches
for Mrs. Bartsch, as well as tor
myself. We have been married
many years, and have a son 23
years of age.
Wants Happiness
I'VE have both reached the
period of life when our existence
should be the happieSt one could
imagine. We have everything to
live for together. We should be
very happy. Instead, all this
trouble comes to blast our lives
Gust say, through your news
paper, that I want Mrs. BartSch
to be very, very happy. That Is
nv greatest desire in the world
DR.. Bartsch, besides his biologt
cal research work, has made
many important contributions to
the science of conchology.
