OF HIS Life and Work

olution of 184S, and then translated
into well-night all European Ian
guages.
In the meantime, Marx had con-
tinued in the "Brusseler Zeitung''
his attack on the Prussian govern
ment, and again the Prussian gov
eminent demanded his expulsion,
but in vain; only the February rev.
olution caused a movement among
the Belgian workmen, when Marx,
without any ado, was expelled by
the Belgian government. The provi-
sional government of France, had,
however, through Flocon, invited him
to return to Paris, and this invita-
ton he accepted.
In Paris he remained some time,
till after the revolution of March,
184S, when he returned to Cologne
and there founded the "Neue Rhein-
ische Zeitung" the only paper
representing the working class, and
daring to defend the June insurgents
of Paris.
Finally, after the May rising
(1S49) in Dresden, the Rhine Prov
inces, and South Germany, the
"Rheinische" was forcibly suppress
ed. The last number printed in
red = appeared on May 10Th, 1s49.
Marx now returned to Paris, but
a few weeks after the demonstration
Of June 10, 1849, the French gov
eminent gave him the choice of re-
firing to Brittany or leaving France.
He preferred the latter, and went to
London = where he continued to
live for over thirty years. An at
tempt to bring out the "Neue Rhein-
ische Zeitung" in the form of a re-
view, published at Hamburg, was
not successful.
Immediately after Napoleon's
coup d'etat, Marx wrote his Acht-
zehnte Brumaire DIES Louis Bona
parte Eighteenth Brumaire of Lou
is Napoleon), and in 1853 the "Rev-
Citations concerning the Cologne
Communist Trial" = in which he
laid bare the infamous Vaccinations
of the Prussian government and po-
lice.
After the condemnation at Cologne
of the members of the Communist
League, Marx for time retired
from active political life, devoting
himself to the study of economics
in the British Museum Reading
Room, to contributing leading arti
cles and correspondence to the
"New York Tribune" and to writ
ing pamphlets and leaflets attacking
the Palmerston regime. widely cir
culated at the time by David Urqu-
hart.
The first fruits of his long, ear
nest studies in political economy ap-
peared in 1859, in his Eur Kr'itik
der politischen Oekonomie (Critique
of Political Economy = a work
which contains the first exposition
of his theory of value.
Meanwhile the working-class
movement had progressed so far
that Karl Marx could think of ex-
ecuting a long-cherished plan-the
establishment in all the more adj
vanced countries of Europe and
America of an International Work
ingmen's Association. A public
meeting to express sympathy with
Poland was held in April, 1864. This
brought together the working men
of various nationalities, and it was
decided to found the International.
This was done at meeting (presid-
ed over by Professor Beesly) in St.
Martins Hall, on September %,
1864. A provisional General Coun-
Gil was elected, and Marx drew up
the Inaugural Address and the Pro-
visional Rules.

Since 1873, Marx had given him
self up almost entirely to his work,
though this had been retarded for
some years by ill-health. The MS.
of the second volume of his chief
work will be edited by his oldest,
truest, and dearest friend, Frederick
Engels. There are other MSS. which
may also be published.
l have confined myself to strictly
historical and biographical details
of the man. Of his striking per-
sonality, his immense erudition, his
wit, humor, general kindness, and
ever-ready sympathy, it is not for
me to speak. To sum up all:
The elements
So mixed in him that Nature might
stand up,
And say to all the world: "This was
a mani"

Letter by Rover and Collins
Tells Maj. Pratt Judicial
Duty Is Involved.
ADVICE ON OLD LAW
HAD BEEN REQUESTED
Information Given by Policemen
and Two or More Neighbors
Held Unwarranted.

United States Attorney Leo A. Rover
and Assistant United States Attorney
William H. Collins, his chief prosecuU-
ing officer, are opposed to the issuance
of search warrants by Superintendent
of Police Pratt on information given
him by police officers or by two or more
citizens that a neighbours house Is be-
ing conducted in violation of law. Col
Inns has dictated letter which Rover
has sent to the chief Of police express
ing the views of the prosecutors
The law in question has lain dormant
for more than 10 years, it is understood,
never having been invoked since the ad-
mln1stration Of Superintendent of Police
Sylvester.
More than year ago, Maj. Edwin B.
HeSse, then superintendent, wrote
Corporation Counsel Bride as to
whether the law was still on the statute
books, and was advised that it was.
Raising of Question.
Maj. Pratt raised the question, it is
understood, when the question of using
the law came up during discussion of
enforcement activities in connection
with vice, liquor and gambling.
The United States attorneys Office
takes the position that mo useful pur-
pose would be served by transferring a
duty which we conceive to be properly
called judicial to a non-judicial off,
GER" since he would not be justified in
issuing warrant on anything less than
probable cause" The law is still on
the books and has never been repealed,
the prosecutors admit, and is being car
ried into the new compilation of Dis
trict laws now in process Of codifica-
ton, but they doubt seriously If any
useful purpose would be served by
putting it into practice.
Letter Reply to Pratt.
The letter to Maj. Pratt reads:
Replying to your recent letter, take
this opportunity to indicate our view OF
section 402 of the Revised Statutes for
the District of Columbia.
This Office is advised that those
charged with the duty of compiling
new District code are including this
section of the old Revised Statues. How
ever, you will note from reading Of
the statute that the major and super
intendent of police is authorized to do
certain things hereunder when there
is a showing that there are good
grounds, stating the same and that
it Is our view that our courts would
interpret this portion of the statute as
meaning no more or less than prob
able cause, as contemplated under any
warrant to be issued by court.
1T is, therefore. our position that no
useful purpose would be served by
transferring duty which we conceive
to be properly judicial to n-judicial
officer, because even in the face Of the
statute nothing appears which would
support the theory that the major and
superintendent of police could issue
warrant on any less evidence than
would be required by judicial officer"

BODY OF SUICIDE
is SHIPPED HOME
Laundry Marks Lead to Identity of
W. W. Wood, Who Jumped
to Death.

The body of Wallace White Wood.
21-year-old seaman, whose identity
mystified authorities after he leaped to
his death early Sunday from an eighth
fppr window at the Houston Hotel,
was sent from the District Morgue this
morning to Woods home at Northeast,
Md.
The young sailor had taken unusual
precautions to conceal his real name
from post-mortem investigators, but a
laundry mark, half obliterated, revealed
the initials wv. w. W." on his shirt
and gave clue which led his brother
here last night.
The latter man, William Wood jr.,
visited the Morgue. where he recognized
his brother and made arrangements to
have the body returned to Maryland
He said the dead man had been Ill for
several months prior to his suicide,
having disappeared last week from a
hospital for merchant sailors near
Northeast.
He had registered at the local hotel
as wv. Winchester" also giving fic-
titious address, Baltimore.

Preparations Virtually Com
pIeted by Traffic Depart
ment Officials.
RESISTANCE OF CARDS
WILL BEGIN ON JULY |
Records of All Motorists in District
Applying Will Be Investi-
gated Carefully.

Preparations for the renewal of APP
proximately 100000 driving permits OF
District motorists which expire during
the new fiscal year beginning July 1
were virtually completed today at the
traffic department.
The renewal period will begin July
and continue throughout the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1880. The per-
mitS will be reissued under virtually
the same procedure which they were
originally issued nearly three years ago
when Congress directed new system
of drivers licenses.
According to schedule worked out
by Traffic Director William H. Har-
land and Assistant Director M o. Ed
ridge, Abs permits expire in July and
will have to be renewed. In the follow
Ing month 1859 permits become in
valid. The schedule for the remaining
months is as follows: September,
11,197; December, 9,486: January, s,145;
February, 6,044; March, 1899; April,
7,404; May, 8,263, and June. 6,986. This
makes a total of 108,471 that were is
Hued in the 1e26-1927 fiscal year, but
yraffic officials believe that not more
Than 100000 of this number will ap-
lply for new permits, estimating that
SE1e remaining 8,471 have since left the
khstrict, sold their automobiles or died.
Date of Issue on Card.
Mr. Eldridge pointed out that the date
on which the permits were issued is
perforated on the card and that drivers
can determine the date of their expira-
ton, as all of them are valid for only
three years from the date of issuance.
Applications for renewal however, he
said, should be filed with the Traffic
Department at least two weeks in adj
vance of the date of expiration to avoid
possible delay in the new permit
reaching the motorist on time.
The records of all drivers applying
vestigated, before the cards are reissued,
Mr.. Eldridge explained. Those whose
records for the tf1ree-year period show
no serious infractions of the traffic
regulations, he. said, will have no diff
Guilty in procuring new permit. but
motorists who have been convicted sew
eral times for speeding, reckless driving,
etc, will be required to undergo an ex-
animation to determine their knowledge
OF the traffic regulations. The latter
group, he declared, constitute only a
small percentage of drivers whose per-
mits expire during the year.
Five or six additional clerks will be
employed by the Traffic Department
to renew the permits.

MEMORIAL BRIDGE
WORK IS DELAYED
Removal of "Rotten Rock
May Prevent Completion
Before Spring.

Construction of the bridge across
Boundary Channe, from Columbia Is
land to the Virginia shore. as one Of
the last links in the Arlington Memorial
Bridge program, has been temporarily
delayed by striking rotten rock" that
was not encountered when the main
structure was being built. While it is
expected that the bridge across the
channel will be finished by Christmas
the unexpected delay may postpone its
completion until next Spring.
The principal work now being done
by the contractor-the N. p. SEVERN
Co. of Chicago-the same firm that
repaired the White House roof recently,
is on the west abutment of the main
arch. In the cofferdam now being
constructed there it was found neces-
sary to remove some IL feet of rot
ten rock" that was not met with in
construction of the main Arlington
Memorial Bridge structure. The Golfer
dam, when completed, will be about %
feet deep and the bottom will be on
bed rock, insuring firm foundation
for the bridge abutment.
Three giant dredges are at work, eat
ing out the clay and broken rock for
the foundations of the bridge. and
about $50 men are engaged on the job,
under the direction of F. B. Ridenour,
washington manager of the SEVERN Co.
On the Virginia shore runs spur of
railroad track to bring materials for
constructing the bridge, and back OF
the work stretch lines and lines of
granite blocks from Mount Airy, N. c.;
from Stone Mountain, Ga, and from
Vermont. The granite, which will be
placed in the bridge structure as 1t
rises over Boundary Channel. Is care
fully numbered, so that the pieces may
fit into the right place with the least
delay.
Lieut.. Col. q. S. Grant, Sd, executive
officer of the Arlington Memorial Bridge
Commission, which is headed by Presi-
dent Hoover, made personal inspec-
ton of the work at Boundary Channel
couple Of days ago and expressed
himself as being satisfied with the
progress.
The contractor is now starting on the
east abutment of the main arch, on the
Columbia Island shore. There will be
one 1OO-foot arch in the bridge when
completed and two 50-foot arches. In
the west cofferdam it will be necessary
to pour some 1900 cubic yards Of con-
crete, and this work will start at an
early date.
This bridge across Boundary Chan
mel. while not actually linked to Airing
ton Memorial Bridge proper, is an inte-
grail part of the program. 1t will be
necessary, officials said today, to con-
struct a 500-foot road across Columbia
Island to link up the two bridges when
they are ready for traffic. The two
bridges will be in a straight line from
the Lincoln Memorial to Arlington
House. the old home of Robert E. Lee
on the heights of Arlington National
Cemetery.

study of some science. such as medicine.
But he always wanted to go on the
stage, and as a very small boy he had
much talent and a beautiful voice. He
would sing all of the time, and once
he heard an air he remembered 1t per-

Mrs. Yoelson is very proud Of her

When Senator Mcclellan presented the
