 The ease and inborn abiitv with which Miss Lull acrOmplishcS her feats would indicate that she is the daughter of somn acrobat. possibly some famous circus performer, who
 has been reared in the atmosphere Of the tented arena. As a matter of fact, Miss Lull does not recall ever seeing a circus. even at Madison square Garden. She has been identi- fled with the stage since childhood. but wholly in dramatic roles. singing and dancing parts and legitimate stage work until a very short time ago.
 But the secret Of an innate self developed ability is revealed when inquiry is made into the little dan cer's ancestry. She is the great granddaughter of George Kent who had his own circus in England in the early Victorian period. and is distant cousin of Mankin the frog man. This circus ancestry. on her mothers side, seems responsible for the outcropping of this unusual tal- ent in the girl. Miss Lulls mother vas Elizabeth MClindsay, of the dramatic stage. being the first Of her family to depart from the traditions of the sawdust and dirt arenas,
 Her parents decided if she had tendency to dance they would aid that inclination and sent her to the Metropolitan Opera ballet school In conventional ballet and other dances she toured the vaudeville circuit for nine years. maintaining her course at the Professional Chidren's School by correspondence. While dancing fin The Girl Friend" Miss Lull per fected her present style of dancing.

GARNER ADVISES
HOOVER TO SPEAK
Declares Country Entitled to
Statement on Lakin Sugar
Letter Charge.

BY the Associated Press.
President Hoover was confronted to-
day with a warning from the minority
leader of the House that, in the alb
sence of any word from the White
House, undue Importance may be at
tached to testimony before the Caraway
lobby committee tending to link the
Chief Executive with the activities of
those opposing high tariff on Cuban
sugar.
The President has been disposed to
ignore statements made before the Car
away group early this week to the ell
feet that he instructed his secretary,
Walter Newton. to establish a contact
between the House ways and means
committee and the Cuban sugar in
terests. There have been indications
that such an attitude would be con-
tinued and that no statement might
be expected from the Chief Executive.
REPRESENTATIVE Garner, the Democratic
leader, asserted that unless Mr.. Hoover
makes a direct, definite and positive
declaration, a great many people will
accept the evidence as proving that the
President of the United States has been
participating in the secret conspiracy
against the interests of his own coun-
trymen engaged in the sugar industry" F"
The President, he said, in justice to
his Office owes the country direct pro-
nouncement on this subject.
Referring to statements made In let
terS which were introduced as evidence,
as we'll as that given orally, Garner
asserted that IF the President, either
personally or through his secretary,
Walter Newton, did not say the things
and do the things mentioned in these
letters, some method should be found
to punish the men who assumed 10
speak by his authority and who re-
ported to the head Of foreign govern
ment that our President had commit
ted himself to aid their plans"
Chairman Caraway expects to ce-
vote a good bit of his time during the
Christmas recess 20 the preparation of
reports on the lobby committees in
vestigation of efforts to influence Con-
gress in its legislation on the sugar
tariff. Such reports, it is expected, will
review the testimony of Edwin P. Shat
tuck, H. C. Lakin and Gladys Moon
Jones.

Pledges Collaboration.
NEW YORK, December 81 P.-
After pledging their best efforts for the
success of the London Naval Confer
ence, the Japanese delegation today
was en- route to England aboard the
liner Olympic.
The delegation, headed by Reijiro
Wakatsuki, former premier, and Ad-
miral Takeshi Takerabe, minister OF
the navy, sailed last night after a busy
day of sightseeing and as guests at a
dinner given in their honor by japanese
residents of the city and at luncheon
given by S. Sawada, japanese consul
general.
Thomas w. Lamont Of j. P. Morgan
& Co., speaking at the consul generals
luncheon, pledged the interest of the
American business man and banker In
permanent world peace.
He denied as an Outrageous SANDER
the idea that men of affairs, manu-
facturers or bankers, are not adverse
to war because Of the fancied or fleet
ing material profits sometimes flowing
from war" He declared it was the
great business leaders who are the most
eager for enduring peace.
Former Premier Wakatsuki, through
an interpreter, expressed confidence
that the London conference would pro-
duce good results.

700 SAVED IN BAY
AFTER FERRY CRASH
Bedlam of Signals Follows Ram
ming of New York Craft
by Car Float.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 21.-Harbor
craft rescued 700 Christmas shoppers,
commuters and newly arrived immi-
grants from the ferry boat West Point
last night after the ferry boat had been
rammed and disabled by car float
Three persons suffered minor injuries
The ferry boat was crossing from the
foot of West Forty-second street, Man.
haitian, to Weehawken, N. j., directly
across the Hudson River. Unlike the
heavy fog which prevailed when the
liner Fort Victoria was rammed by the
Algonquin in the lower bay last We'd
nesday, the weather was clear and visi-
bility good The ferry boat was bril-
liantly lighted.
In midstream the car float, which was
being toWed by a tug lashed alongside
of 1t, drove its prov into the port side
of the ferry, tearing a hole, through
which water poured into the engine
room.
The passengers, startled by the i'm
pact, rushed from the cabins as the
ferry boats siren began to scream dis
tress signals.
Amid bedlam Of answering signals,
tugs and other ferry boats converged
upon the crippled craft. The towing
tug held the prov of the car float in
the cash in the side of the West Point,
reducing the flow of water and prevent
ing the ferry boat from listing.
AS rapidly as they could be maneu-
Vred into position rescue craft were
lashed alongside and passengers assisted
off the West Point. The large electric
ferry boat Grenville Kane took $50 over
the stern of the West Point. A New
York Central tug made fast and its
crew helped men and women through
boat to safety.
The rescue work was accomplished
under the glare of searchlights trained
on the West Point by surrounding craft.

MYSTERY SHROUDS
CRASH At BOILING
Special Board Learns Little
From Eye-Witnesses, Whose
Accounts Differ.

The mystery of one Of the most un-
accountable crashes In the history Of
the Army Air Corps probably will be
buried in the grave Of Capt. Harry A.
Dinger, the pilot, who died with four
others, including Representative William
Kirk Kaynor of Massachusetts,, when
tri-motored Army transport plane
dove into the ground out of an ap-
parently normal turn just after taking
off at Boiling Field yesterday.
Little headway has been made in solv-
ing the cause of the crash by a special
Army board, appointed Immediately
after the accident. This board spent
the whole of yesterday afternoon ex-
anlining the wreckage and hearing a
holt score of eyewitnesseS' accounts
from officers and enlisted men of Boil
ing Field and the AnacoStia Naval Air
Station.
I'VE have no real clue as yet," said
Maj. Robert A. Hale, chief of the board,
today. I'VE have heard the eyewit-
neSses, but they have been able to shed
little light on what may have been the
cause. The eyewitness accounts differ
materially, as usually IS the case in an
accident occurring as Unexpectedly and
swiftly as yesterdays crash"
Board Continues Inquiry.
The board is continuing the gather
ing of all possible evidence today and
may not reach the end of its investiga-
ton for a day or two, Maj. Hale said.
A formal report on its findings and con-
clusions, if any can be drawn from the
evidence, will be submitted to the War
Department.
Those in the plane died instantly and
the ship itself was so badly shattered
as to afford little information to the
experts who went over the battered
mass for clues.
Those who died in the crash, in ad-
dition to Representative Kaynor and
Capt. Dinger, were Stanley B. Lowe, the
Representatives secretary; Arthur A.
McGill, who was associated with the Re-
publican national committee, and Pvt.
Vladimir Kuzma, aviation mechanic.
The details of the big planes take
off preceding the crash, as related by
eyeWitnesSes, apparently are in fairly
close agreement. After the motors were
warmed up and Capt. Dinger had sig
nified that he was satisfied with their
performance, the plane was TAXED to
the northwest corner of the flying field
and turned into the wind, blowing at
about 25 miles per hour from the south
east.
The plane took off gracefully after a
short run and climbed steadily and
normally to an altitude, placed by eye
witnesses as between 800 and 400 feet.
At this altitude, while still over the
field, the plane "leveled off" in normal
