Washington, Nov. 25.-Ringing
down the curtain on the last act of
the travesty which has occupied
the political stage for the better
part of the last year, the Senate
this week brought to an end the
special session of Congress called
to rescue sinking agriculture in
a land boastful of it's record pros
perity, and adjourned. The widely
keralded session, which was to
have ushered in new era for the
farmers, ends with the staple farm
products selling at record low lev
els; in some cases at a figure be-
low even that set by the Farm
Board as a basis for its loans.
1t is the final curtain which the
Senate has rung down. Of course,
there will be an epilogue in the
manner of the good old melodram-
as. A little more stage thunder
and moralizing in the coming ses.
sion. but every informed observer
here pretty well understands that
the climax has passed of even the
wordy gestures towards farm re
life. In fact, the stage is being
set here for an entirely new politi
cal show: The Salvage Of Prosper
ity.
In this new travesty, the farm
ers will, of course, be promised ;
leading role. Already the social
ed farm leaders have been invitet
to take part. A threat hangs ov
er the whole nation; whoever il
selfish enough to press his owl
claims will stand condemned. Il
the new atmosphere, the farmers
case will be no exception: for
good while, everyone will be ex
pected to think in terms of tn
country first, irrespective of pas
pledges and without regard to VIII

APPLAUDS
'ARMIST|CE ADDRESS
Senate Leaders Express Ap-
provaI of Food Ship
Proposal.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

President Hoover's Armistice day
speech met with general approval at
the Capitol today. His proposal that
food ships should be exempt from at
tack during war was particularly well
received His insistence on the parity
of the United States Navy with that
of any other nation also was given def
mite approval.
While regret was expressed in some
quarters that the question Of the free
dom of the seas was not to be taken
up at the coming London conference on
naval limitation, as indicated in the
Presidents address, some of the Sena-
tors who expressed this regret took the
view that nothing should be done to
interfere with the successful progress of
the naval conference.
Among the members of the Senate
foreign relations committee who COM
mented today on the Presidents rec
concentrations in his Armistice day
speech was Senator Hiram johnson OF
California.

lying where it would be found, the body
of Miss Marie McDermott was discov-
cred on the floor of her apartment in
the Ripley, 1924 r street, shortly after
noon today. when an investigation was
started to determine the cause of her
absence for three days from the min
eral division of the Interior Depart
ment, where she was employed as
clerk.
Coroner J. Ramsay Nevitt, who ex-
amined the body, said there were no
marks of violence and nothing to indi-
cate the cause of death. He has ordered
the body removed to the District
Morgue, where an autopsy viii be per"
formed this afternoon.
BIoOdstains on Floor.
Several bloodstains were found on
the floor near the body.
Miss McDermott's body was found
after Henry d. Billings and Charles r.
DrexiIius, clerks in the Interior Depart
ment, had gone to the apartment to
see why she had not appeared in the
mineral division since Friday. Getting
no response upon knocking at the door
they notified Lieut., H. H. Groves OF the

memorandum pad, was found lying be-
side the body:

ASK THAT ALLEN
Be SENT TO DUTY
Attorneys Base Plea for Re-
instatement on ACuuittaI
of Capt. Doyle.

Attorneys for Policeman Robert j.
Allen today wrote to the District Com
missioners to ask that Allen be replaced
on the police force as result Of the
acquittal of Capt Robert E. Doyle by
the Police Trial Board yesterday.
Since the charges on which Allen
was convicted and those of which Doyle
was acquitted grew out of the same
transaction, to deal with the officers
differently would be a "travesty,' the
attorneys maintained.
Allen has served notice on the Com
missioners that be will appeal from the
findings of the trial board, recommend
ing that he be dismissed from the force
because Of his statements that he in
tended to investigate the District at
torney's ONCE His appeal has not yet
been perfected and the letter today is
in an effort to settle the case, using
Doyle's acquittal as the basis.
The text of the letter, which was
signed by H. Ralph Burton and Tench
T. Marye, Aliens lawyers. is as follows:
Before going further with Robert
j. Aliens appeal, in accordance with
the notice filed November 8, we have
decided to ask that you advise US at
the earliest possible moment whether
you really consider that this step is
necessary now that the police board
has acquitted Capt. Doyle after only
a few minutes consideration.
"It is impossible for Allen to be
guilty and Doyle innocent of the same
charge based upon the same letter.
There rests in your hands the power to
affirm, modify or reverse the findings
in Aliens case. The slightest consid-
Grafton for public opinion, fairness, or
justice would require you upon your
own motion to correct, insofar as 1t Is
possible, patent travesty.
This entire proceeding with refer
ence to Allen and Doyle has become
little more than q sham, which you
have the power to end II you have the
disposition, and We venture to say that
unless you do, this episode will remain
a stain upon your administration ana
the police annals.
UNLESS there has been very serious
misrepresentation on the part Of some,
there have been negotiations between
Capt. Doyle's attorneys, Capt. Doyle
and other officials Of the Police Depart
ment, looking to practical dismissal OF
his case and these reports were quickly
followed by his almost instantaneous
acQuittal by the police board.
"It is a source of utmost regret to
us as citizens of the District that the
administration of justice, as least so
far as a private of the metropolitan
police force is concerned, has become
merely the instrumentality of those in
power to accomplish what is most de-
sired by them to the detriment of the
less influential, who do not enjoy the
favoritism of the superiors. 1t per-
mits him to be ousted from life posi-
ton on a trivial charge based solely
upon a letter which the members of
the police board did not even take the
time to read in Aliens case and ap-
proved in Doyle's case.
"It should be quite unnecessary to
present anything further in the matter
of this appeal If you viii do what is
clearly your duty"

Opposed Body's Move to En-
pIoy Full Time Doctors in
PsyChopathic Ward.
HOLDS PLAN AIMED
TO GUST DR.. HICKLING
States Inquiry Revealed No Evi-
dence of Lack of Efficiency
in Medical Service.

A difference of opinion among the
members of the Board of Public We'll
fare over a change of policy at Gal
linger has resulted in the resignation
of DR.. George M. Kober from the board.
His resignation was accepted by the
District Commissioners today.
The question at issue was as to
whether more full time medical men
should be employed in the psychopathic
ward at Gallinger Hospital. DR.. kober
opposed the move, and suggested that
expert opinion be sought before 1t was
put into effect, but his motion was
lost when a tie vote resulted.
DR.. Kober told Star reporter today
that the object of the move on the
part of the board seemed to be the re-
placement of DIR. Percy Hickling. the
District alienist, who gives his services
as 81 member of the staff of the psyche
pathic ward. He said that he was OPP
posed to any such move, as DR.. Hick-
ling had given long and faithful service.
The reasons for DR.. Kober'S reSigna-
ton were set forth in a letter to the
District Commissioners, which was re-
ceived last Friday and on which the
Commissioners took action.
Text Of DIR. Kober's Letter.
The text Of the letter is as follows.
81 find myself in disagreement with
some members of the Board of Public
Welfare on the policy of the number OF
salaried medical men in the psyche
pathic unit of the Gallinger Hospital.
THE recent investigation conducted
by the board, to the best Of my recol-
lection, revealed no evidence that there
was a lack of efficiency because OF in
adequate medical service"
II feel constrained to oppose the ap-
proval of the supplementary estimate
until it could be shown by competent
experts that the items were necessary
for benefit OF aflicted humanity.
MY recommendation was rejected by
a tie vote, one member was absent and
the other member refrained from vot-
ing. Under these circumstances feel /;
proper to tender my resignation to take
effect at the convenience of your board
1T seems to me that where my 1udg-
ment on matters Of efficiency and econ

Messages of Congratuation
on ArmiStiCe Address
Pour Into Capital.
REJECTS STARVATION
AS WEAPON OF WAR
Food Ships Should Be as Free of
Interference as Hospital
Craft, He Declares.

Rejection of starvation as weapon
of warfare was the outstanding prin-
ciple advanced by President Hoover Ii
an address last night which climaxed
the Armistice day celebration of the
American Legion.
The Presidents eloquent plea for
preparedness for peace" drew messages
of congratulation from political, re-
ligiouS and business leaders in all parts
of the country today. The kilograms
indicated the Chief Executive had struck
a responsive chord by the forceful man
ner in which he set forth the ideas he
has on the best method of promoting
peace.
Frequently drawing the applause of
an audience OF more than 5000 per-
sons assembled in the Washington Audi
torium, Mr.. Hoover took occasion to
present for the consideration OF the
nations of the world a suggestion which
he believes would prove effective as a
starting point for the solution of the
age-old, troublesome and trouble-pro-
ducing problem of the freedom OF the
seas.
Same as Hospital Ships.
"For many years, and born of poig-
nant personal experience" he said, II
have held that food ships should be
made free of any interference in times
of war. would place all vessels laden
solely with food supplies on the same
footing as hospital ships. The time has
come when we should remove starvation
of women and children from the weap-
ons of warfare"
This proposal that food-laden vessels
be immune from attack by belligerent
nations the Chief Executive advanced
as IAN idea" which the world might
consider as a practical step which
would solve large part of the intrinsic
problem" Of maritime freedom in time
of war, a solution which, he said, would
result in a material reduction in neceS-
Sary peace-time armaments.

tional goodwill more vital even than
to abolish war and mightier
than armies and navieS in defense, MIR.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 12.-Eight per-
sons were killed through accidents and
drowning, many were injured, and
enormous property damage inflicted in
gale which lashed the British Isles
and surrounding seas last night and
today.
Conditions became better with the
coming of the dawn, and the sun later
shone brilliantly on scenes Of wreckage
chimney pots smashed, billboards
thrown down, windows blown out and
Armistice day decorations ripped to
Shreds.
The small coastwise shipping ap-
peared to have suffered severely, al
though with little loss of life.
Deal boatmen had a strenuous time
getting three such vessels into the har-
Dor after their crews had reached the
exhaustion point. Another barge, the
Marie May, had her sails blown to rib
bons.
Thirty of the crew of the Italian
steamer Nimbo were dramatically res
cued by lifeline from the cliff top at
New Haven.
The dirigible R-101 looked spick-and-

said an official today.
Passengers on the steamer Jan Erey-

experiences during a terrific blow which
sprang up suddenly, forcing the steamer
to put in temporarily near Dunkirk.
Robert S. Farley and Mrs. Farley,
Americans said that no one had pre-
