Adequate appropriations for the

Bishop Hugh L. Burleson of South

to that wage earning which must be

The conference is held to discuss
ways OF improving the lives of Indians

DR.. F. B. Riggs, superintendent for
the American Missionary Association of

HOOVER CONSIDERS
MCCOY SUCCESSOR
Associate Justice Expected
to Get District Supreme
Court Vacancy.

President Hoover today was repre-
sented as being inclined to elevate one
of the present associate justices of the
Supreme Court of the District of CO.
lumbia to succeed Walter 1. Mccoy, who
last week resigned as justice of that
court. This is anticipated shortly, but
there Is no indication that the vacant
place on this bench caused by Judge
McCoy's retirement to private life will
be filled by the President so soon.
The President has been advised that
Justice Wendell P. Stafford has been
indorsed for this honor by the Dis
trict Bar Association and others.
There is not the slightest indication
as to how soon the President will fill
the vacancy. He realizes that the
court docket is packed to the limit and
that there Is urgent need to furnish the
court in full quota of judges If it is to
keep up its work, but he is not going
to be unduly hasty in arriving at a
choice.
1t is understood that very few names
of local persons have been suggested
for the Supreme Court vacancy. It is
further understood that there are no
actually out-and-out candidates. The
several names of local lawyers which
have been submitted to the President
for his consideration were done so by
friends Of the individuals. It is under
stood that the names of several persons
not residents in the District of Colum-
bia have been suggested and are being
considered along with the others.
Within the next week Judge Mary
O'Toole of the Municipal Court of the
District of Columbia probably will be

MYSTERY GIRL NOW
ILL OF PNEUMONIA

Even after friend OF the girl had
been questioned, mystery continued to-
day to veil the identity of a young
woman treated at Emergency Hospital
for an overdose of poison. The patient
has been in a coma since taken to the
hospital Wednesday afternoon. When
1t was discovered today that she was
suffering from pneumonia, physicians
said her chances of recovering were
remote.
r. A. Sanders and w. H. Mansfield,
headquarters detectives, reported they
had found letter from a Washington
man in the girls purse. They queS-
toned him and learned that he met
the girl in Pittsburgh last September.
He said he had seen her only once
since then. He thought her name was
Gilda Corron.
With the letter, however, was found
a baggage check bearing the name
Annette Brewster, Selma, Calf" These
two names caused detectives to believe
the young woman might have several
aliases.
Meanwhile, several men and women
visited the girl in the hospital last night
end today In an unsuccessful effort to
Identify her.
The girl was found in an unconscious
condition in st. Johns Church, at Six
teenth and H streets, Wednesday. I'M
mediately after being removed to the
hospital, physicians said the girl num-
bled something about having shot some
one in the Park Lane Apartments. She
also spoke OF narcotic ring" De-
tectiveS believed the girl knew nothing
of any Shott1ng or OF a drug ring

NEW YORK, December l3.-The
French liner France arrived last night
two days late, after what her COM

the worst crossing in his 35 years ex-

Aboard the liner were two passengers
who were brought to America because
the storm made it impossible for the
ship to make her customary stop Pa at
Plymouth, England. They were Wn-
liam Williams, a pilot of Plymouth, and
Doris white, 16-year-old Eng English g1ri. t1

When Taxi Driver

Former Democratic Lead.
er Nearly Causes Adams
to Hold Up Cabinet.

Alfred Emanuel Smith. ambassador of
big business since the presidential cam
paign which did not put him in the
White House, had to walk the sidewalks
of Washington this morning on visit
to the Secretary of the Navy, and
thereby nearly made that dignitary late
for a cabinet meeting with the man
who won out in that same presidential
election.
The fault was that of a taxicab
driver who deposited ex-Gov. Smith at
the State, War and Navy Building,
thinking that was where the Secretary
of the Navy's Office was.
His cab gone and finding none other
handy, Ex-Gov. Smith, with his friend,
w. r. Kenny, New York contractor, who
accompanied him on the trip to the
Capital, trod the sidewalks of the Cap
ital, within a stones throw of the
White House, in a drizzling rain to
the Navy Building, where the Secretary,
with the cabinet meeting on his sched-
ule, was impstiently awaiting the arri-
val of his distinguished visitor.
At the Navy Department the former
NOFCItlOI VI NGW 1Olh was LIGdbGu W
a scene reminiscent of his campaign
days, when practically every employe
of the department lined the halls and
cheered wildly at the first glimpse of
the famous brown derby.
In his conference with the Secretary
Of the Navy and other high Navy off,
cials, Mr.. Smith received assurance that
the Navy Department will help him in
every way possible to discover the
feasibility and practicability of erect
ing atop the 85-story Empire State
Building, which is going up on the site
of the old Waldorf-AStoria Hotel,
mooring mast for dirigibleS.
EX-Gov Smith received also an In
vitation from Rear Admiral William A.

birth in the Navy dirigible Los Angeles,

A new arm of American industry,
created to extend a steadying hand to
business in time of economic stress,
was ready today to feel its strength
in the first big test of limited career.
The new prosperity factor was born of
an idea suggested by President Hoover
during the recent business conferences
at the White nouse. 1t takes the form
of a committee of 20 big business"
executives, headed by Julius H. Barnes,
chairman Of the board Of the United

The test period covers the next few
months, according to an announcement

viSory committee.
Says Confidence Is Warranted.
While the committee will forego lex
cessive optimism" at the present time,
Chairman Barnes declared that study
of recent reports from all fields of in

Attorneys instructions Dis
closed by Letter From Lakin
Read to Lobby Committee.
PRESIDENTS FRIENDSHIP
DEEMED WORTH $4,000
But Cuban Sugar Head Complains
of Agents Inability to See
Nations Chief.

BY the Associated Press.
A letter from H. c. Lakin of the
Cuba Co. to President Mschado of Cuba,
which said President Hoover had in
structed E. P. Shattuck, attorney, and
Chairman Smoot of the Senate finance
committee ito confer. together" was
read into the record today at the Sen
ate lobby committee hearing.
Shattuck, a New York attorney, was
employed by Lakin to work for lower
tariff rates. The Cuba Co. official had
previously testified that Shattuck was
employed partly because of his friend
ship for the President.
The letter to Machado said Shattuck's
connection with President Hoover lis
our strongest weapon except your efforts
and those of your Ambassador"
Shattuck has denied that he has
attempted to influence President Hoover
in connection with the tariff bill.
The letter Lakin wrote Machado said
the Cuba company president had
"obeyed your instructions to work in
cooperation with your Ambassador"
SmoOt for High Sugar Duty.
Before the committee, Lakin, in let

quently to Shattuck'S friendship with
the President. He made no comment
today on Shattuck's denial that he at
tempted to use his acquaintance with
Mr.. Hoover to influence the Chief EX-
ecutive on lower sugar rates.
The reference to the conferences be-
tween Senator Smoot, Shattuck and
Mr.. Hoover was not amplifled in Lakin's
letter to Machado. Smoot has favored
a higher duty on Cuban sugar and
the rate on it in the Senate finance COM
pound as compared to 1.76 under exist
ing law.
Another mention of Shattuck in con-
nection with the President came dur
ing the reading of letter to Veriato
Cutterrey of the Presidential Palace,
Havana, by Lakin on March is.
I'm view of Shattuck'S prominence
and his intimacy with President Hoover,
I expect that we shall pay Shattuck and
his partner something like $4,000" his
letter said.
Lakin wrote Cutterrey that it was the.
custom of the beet interests to maintain
a lobby in Washington, and said that
eventually the Cuban interests should
Old Lobby Methods Deprecated.
"But the fact that Cuba is a foreign
country" Lakin added, makes the old
fashioned lobbying dangerous for it to
undertake"
THE plan," Lakin added, "is an at
tempt to put in particular form some
general principles with which we know
President Hoover is in sympathy. Our
knowledge Of the desire Of. President
Hoover is accurate, but naturally the
sources of our knowledge should not be
stated in writing
Moreover, lobbying is no longer
popular in Washington and I am in
formed that the beet interests now do
not find that their old-fashioned meth
DDS of lobbying are successful and that
they would be in diSfavor in Washing
ton if they did not have Senator Smoot
