OF CONSTITUTION
Commissioner Outlines Un-
usual Position Occupied by
Residents of D. C.

Exclusively Federal citizens with no
allegiance, resident of the District OF
Columbia, are set apart for q peculiar
honor and bear a special responsibility
to teach the principles of our Govern
ment and to preserve, protect and de-
fend the Constitution, Commissioner
Sidney r. Taliaferro declared in his dis
cussion of the Constitution and its effect
on this locality. broadcast from Station
WRC last night as part Of the pro-
gram of Constitution week." spon-
sored by the American Bar Association
while most Americans enjoy a dual
citizenship, that of a native or adopted
State. and that of the American Re
public" Commissioner Taliaferro said
residents of the District Of Columbus
occupy unique position with respect
to the Government of the United States
which many directly serve, which all
directly and intimately may observe
and with which many come into daily
contact. and they should be proud OF
it."
Urges Reading Of Constitution.
The provision for a seat of govern
ment as set forth In the Constitution,

pointed out by the Commissioner. who
declared that at that time all Amer
leans were keenly interested in the fun
damental principles Of government.
Now, however, he continued, o far
greater number Of citizens have visited
the top of the Washington Monument
than have read the Constitution. One
person out of every IS has been at the
top of the obelisk Commissioner Talia-
ferro declared, although not more than
one in every 1000 has peruSed the most
important document concerning the
country's laws.
AS the Constitution especially pro-
vides for residents Of the District, these
citizens should be particularly inter-

the responsibility of teaching and
studying 1t, he advised.

BODY OF HE|RESS
FOUND BY YOUTH
Miss Edith WoIfskiII, SIS, Had
Been Missing From Ranch
: es Since July.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
FAIRFIELD, Calf, September 90
Mystery surrounding the disappearance
three months ago of Miss Edith Wolf
skill, 55-year-old heiYess to an $500, 00C
estate, whose body was found near her
ranch yesterday, deepened today as Of
ficers endeavored to determine whether
the woman had been slain.
There were indications of foul play
according to Sheriff John r. Thornton
who said he was unable to account fol-
the fact that the woman's body was
clothed in mans overalls.
Hundreds of searchers had tramped
many times over the spot near a creek
bank where the heiress' body was dis
covered by Donald Glashof. 1S-year -old
son of rancher.
Exposure Is Theory.
Relatives said that Miss Wolfskill un-
der no circumstances would have donned
mems clothing. They said it was pcs
sible that she had wandered away from
her ranch and died of exposure.
The theory of death by exposure
however, was discounted by officers, who
pointed out that the spot where the
body was found was only mile and a
half away from the Wolfskill ranch
Fruit trees, heavily laden, also would
have provided food for the woman, the
officers said.
The body was in such an advanced
state of decomposition that curSory
examination did not reveal the cause OF
death. Whether there was evidence oil
blows or bullet wounds to support the
theory of foul play awaited en- examina-
ton by the coroner.
When Miss Wolfskill disappeared last
July relatives asked the authorities tc
search for her, fearing she had been
kidnapped or attacked and slain by an
itinerant fruit picker who had passed
through the district.
Footprints ObIiterated.
Footprints made by the woman's
high-heeled shoes were traced for some
distance from her ranch, but wher
scores of searcherS took up the trail the
prints were obliterated.
Reports of the woman having beer
seen walking on the highways we're re-
ceived several times, and once an elder.
1y woman resembling Miss Wolfskill was
observed riding In an automobile with
an unidentified man.
Private detectives we're engaged, anc
the trust officer of Los Angeles bank
where the heiress kept a large account
pursued every clue available.
Plans we're made to drag Lake Curry
near here, IN the belief that the woman
had been drowned.
While the private search tor Miss
Wolfskill was continued the Glashoff
boy, searching for pole to knock ripe
fruit from tree. stumbled on the wom-
ans body.

REPORT L|THUAN|A
|. CABINET RESIGNED
Kovno Dispatches Say Presi-
dent Will Ask J. TubeIis
to Reform Body.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FreSS.
BERLIN, September 20.-A Wolff
Agency dispatch from Kovno reports
that the entire Lithuanian cabinet had
resigned. 1t was stated that President
Smetona would ask j. Tubelis, present
minister Of finance, to reform the cab
met and become premier In succession
to Prof A. Waldemaras.
Augustine Waldemaras has been pre-
mier of Lithuania since December 10,
1925, when the former government was
overthrown by q military coup. His
regime has been marked by violent dis
putes before the League of Nations with
Polish representatives, most Of the ex-
changes having grown out of the seizure
of wilma, historic Lithuanian capital, by
Polish troops in october, 1920.
At War Seven Years.
Lithuania and Poland remained
technically at war over this question
for seven years. In December, 1927,
the subject came up before the League
of Nations and after both sides had ex-
pressed hope for peace 1t was refer
red back to direct negotiations. These,
however, were without success and
brought a warning from the League
in September of last year.
One of the points on which Prof.
Waldemaras had to withstand much
criticism was the fact that the new
constitution adopted by his government
named wilma as the proper capital of
Lithuania. He repeatedly accused Poland
of nourishing aggressive intentions
against the smaller country.
Accuses Government.
Prof. Waldemaras climaxed his accu-
sations when he declared that the
Polish government had been responsible
for an attempt to aSsassinate him,
which was made May 6, 1929. His aide
was killed while shielding his chief from
the assassins bullets and a young
nephew was seriously wounded.
Several students were executed after
being convicted Of completely in the
shooting plot.
M. Waldemaras sent to note to the
League of Nations in July charging that
the Polish government, or its agents,
had a connection with the attempt on
his life. This was categorically denied
by Poland, which made formal reply to
the charges on August 8.

MISSING Boards
BLOCK IDENTITY
Detective Sent to Massachusetts,
for Bank Theft Suspects
Fooled.

Because the boards Of the two men
arrested in Plymouth, Mass, Tuesday
in connection with a larceny from a
bank there were shaved of when they
were admitted to the Jail, Headquar-
tiers Detective Frank Varney of this
city was unable to decide definitely
whether they are the pair wanted here
for the $4,000 bond theft from the
Riggs National Bank February last.
This was learned today from Inspec-
tor w. S. Shelby, chief Of detectives.
When the Riggs Bank was robbed,
employees said both robbers were heavily
bearded. When arrested in the Massa-
chusetts town they were in the same
condition, but while in the jail there,
authorities compelled them to shave.
Since the pair arrested there, said to
be William r. (Spily) Evans, and Louis
Dunbar Merriam, are wanted in other
Massachusetts, cities for robberies in
volving large amounts, it is thought
that they will be brought to trial there
before being turned over to Washington
police.
Varney, accompanied by a clerk from
Riggs Bank, went to Plymouth in an
attempt to positively identify the men
as the robbers of the bank in WASH
lngton.

tanned the first confession of Earl Pea
cox that he had killed his wife ad-
mitted on the stand in Peacox's trial

IT honestly failed to remember 1t"
the detective, Capt Michael Silver
stein of Mount Vernon, told Sidney
Syme, defense attorney.
The part of the verbal confession
omitted in direct testimony and brought
out in cross-examination was that
Peacox told the detective he had not
meant to kill his wife, that it was just
the accidental result of family row."
To get a verdict of f1rst-degree MUIR
der it is necessary for the State to
prove deliberate and premeditated in
tent to kill Silverstein said he could
not remember whether the part of the
verbal confession he forgot had been
incorporated in a written report made
