NEW YORK, January ga severed
telephone wire that prevented broad
casting of speech by Charles Evans
Hughes was today the subject Of an
inquiry by radio officials, who believed
it cut with malicious intent.
Mr.. Hughes spoke before the Bronx
Bar Association and severely arraigned
the dishonorable and unprofesSional
elements or the New York bar. The
speech was prepared well in advance
and conjecture was that a COPY OF 10
might have fallen into the hands Of
some one inimical to the efforts being
made by the association to purge tn,
profession.
John Elwood. director Of radio sta
ton WMCA, said he would demand a
police investigation. He expressed GER
tainty that the wires had been cut
maliciouSly.
Mr.. Hughes praised the efforts that
have been made to punish Ambulance
chasers" and asserted that Ito CONNER
cialize the bar. to introduce the methods
of solicitation, of mass production, of
trading on the opportunities for litiga-
ton is inevitably to encourage frauds
and perjuries and to DESTROY the sense
of the personal, fiduciary relation which
protects both the client and the court"
He declared there is reason to fear
that many are coming to the bar who
are untitled to appreciate the require
ments OF professional duty" while
other well-meaning young practitioners
are corrupted by the example of older
lawyers who thrive on dishonorable and
unprofessional practices.

HOME LAGS BEHIND,
CLUBWOMAN FINDS.
Lack of Kitchen Sinks and
Bathtubs Cited by Mrs.
John D. Sherman.
BY the Associated Press.

Gsy tiiC AoSOCidleQ HIeSS.
The home is pictured as tagging far
behind the progress in every other field
OF American life in report of a pre-
liminary survey recently conducted by
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs.
Mrs. John D. Sherman, former pres
ident of the organization, who directed
the survey, said in a statement yester-
day that towns with populations as high
as $4,000 had been found without pub
lie water or sewerage systems; that near
~ one-f1fth of the city homes were
without kitchen sinks; that nearly one
third were without bathtubS and that
furnace heat was conspicuous by its
absence in States where the climate
would seem to make it imperative.
incidentally, Mrs. Sherman took oc-
caSion to refer to the utilities investi-
cation by the Federal Trade Commits
sion and to assertions that the fedora
ton was being used by the utility in
terestS to spread doctrines favorable
to them. Money for the survey, she
said, was secured chiefly from the
home-serving and home-equipping in
dustries. the largest contributors being
the National Electric Light Association,
the American Gas Association and the
National Trade Extension Bureau. In
stead of the federation being used by
the utilities, however. she said. the
utilities were used by the federation.
THE motives of the federation in
this work were singly purpoSed," she
said. 1.-The sole desire being to benefit
American homcmakers. The fact that
there would be by-product of benefit
to certain industries was inevitable-as
inevitable as that profit comes to
masons. builders and manufacturers
when congregation builds a church.
though profit is no part of the objective.
That fact. however, made the home
serving and home equipping industries
a right and logical source from which
to request funds"

Bank Robbery-0fficials
in Dispute.
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, January 26.-Kaleidoscop-
ic development in the maze of accu-
sations and counter charges with which
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph A. Wood have
assailed each other for more than two
weeks, brought even law enforcement
authorities today to disagreement as to
which of the tales they offer is true.

ing contractor of Wyandotte, and Cecil
Holt, who confessed he plotted with the
builders wife to kill him, on a charge
OF perpetrating the $4,000 holdup of
the Sturgis, Mich, National Bank, De-
ceml II, the prosecutor of another
county produced for them a seemingly
irOnclad alibi
Wood and Holt were arrested here
and arraigned in Centerville, Mich,
yesterday after police were informed
by Mrs. Wood, wealthy nher own right
that she suspects her husband of COM
plicity in the bank robbery. and clerk
and customer of the bank had iden-
tined Holt and Wood positively. They
were held in default of $4,000 bond
James E. Chenot, prosecutor of
Wayne County, announced that heads
OF three departments in large depart
ment store here said Wood was in the
store at the time the bank robbery
took place at Sturgis. Records of the
Cadillac Motor Co., where Holt Is en-
pioyed, showed he punched his time
card at the regular hours that day, and
employees in the Office in which he
worked said he was present throughout
the day.
On January Wood shot and killed
Ambrose Hagerty, while police of De-
troit and Wyandotte, State troopers
deputy sheriffs and newspaper men
looked on. BY pre-arrangement they
were present when three alleged con-
spirators with Mrs. Wood, from whom
Wood has been estranged for a year
approached his real estate office.
