While cranking an automobile
Saturday Bert Gillespie, son Of Mrs.
Alberta Gillespie of Malta, had a
cash cut in his hand, about his
thumb, which it required four
stitches to close. The same day he
and several other boys while driv-
ing an auto on the MaltaEag glepOrt
river road lost control of the ma
chine, and it crashed into the iron
bridge near the jenkins place. While
the accident caused slightly ad-
ditional injury to Gillespie's hand,
none of the party were injured to
speak of, but the machine was COM
pletely wrecked.

The king is coming to New York

he must have place to stay. But no
mere royal suite in a hotel will do,
according to Alexander Woolleott, ra-

The king must have a mansion of at
least twelve master bedrodaii and
twenty-four servant rooms.
For the privilege of occupying such
a mansion for two months his high

so far his agents have not been able
to find suitable place that can be

U. S. Grille BILL
over I BILLION
Expert Claims Cost to Each
Citizen Is Twice
Income Tax.

New York.-The United States to
day pays an annual financial crime
bill of S7,500,000OOO, Or. Benjamin f.
Battin, resident vice president of the
National Surety company, declared re-
Gently in an address on "Fighting FL
naneial Frauds" at a dinner meeting
at the Union League club.
"This staggering sum is the esti
mated minimum total paid by the citi
zens of this country for the direct and
indirect cost of financial crimes here
each year." Doctor Battin said. ut
means that the individual citizen con-
tributes involuntarily to the cost of
crime probably twice as much as he
pays for federal income tax.
Cost to Average Citizen.
"The average citizen must pay in
voluntarily in the higher cost Of rent
fuel, food, clothing, amusements, and
everything which he makes outlay a
larger item to the cost of financial
crime than he pays out for his sport
or hobby, for his church of his phil
anthropy.
"This makes financial crime one of
the most serious and important of do
cry citizen to do everything he can to
prevent further financial crime and to
hand over financial criminals to the
police and the courts in order that
Justice may be done and leave TO the
courts the problem of mercy and sus-
pended sentences"
Doctor Battin described the differ
ent kinds Of financial frauds practiced
by criminals and estimated the follow
ing minimum losses due to crime:
Embezzlement. S2OO00000O; burglary
and similar crimes, S20o000,o00; for
gerry, S17J000000 to S2G0,000,OO0;
fraudulent claims for insurance of all
kinds, including surety aud casualty,
S20G000,000 and fraud in connection
with real estate, sl0o0G9000
The surety company executive de-
clarad that tie three largest items Of
fraud pracdced in this country today
are unfair merchandise, worthless
stocks and bonds, and fraudulent
bankruptcies. which top them all with
an annual loss of ST50O00,000. He
estimated that the annual loss sus-
tanned from the other two items Of
fraud runs up to $1,000 100000.
Billion Spent for Drugs.
Doctor Battin also declared that ac-
cording to leading experts in this
country on the subject of drugs and
narcotics the amount of money spent
''surreptitiously" for morphine, CO.
caine, heroin, and other illegal drugs
amounts to approximately $1,000000,-
900 annually
"These figures are all minimum fig
ures and in every class the actual
losses will tend to exceed those fig
ures,' he declared.
Doctor Battin described the differ
ent kinds of bonds and policies issued
to combat these various crimes and
give salvage to those who are victims
of these crimes, and emphasized the
fact that protection against nearly all
these fraudulent practices is afforded
by the bonds and policies of the sur
ETY. companies so as to prevent loss
entirely or reduce it to a minimum.
He said that in 1929 the surety and
casualty companies in this country
wrote about sSOO,0O0OOO in premiums
and that the coverage amounts to sew
eral billions of dollars.

FIERCE BATTLE WAGED
IN BURMESE JUNGLE.
British Surround Rebels in Wild
Section, Killing so to 100 and
Wounding Many More.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RANGOON, Burma, December 3d.
Savage rebels of the rice swamps and
jungle met British soldiers in a fierce
battle through the Tharawaddy Forest
today, melting into the woods under a
whitening machine-gun fire, but fighting
on in the crazed bravery Of despera-
ton.
Fragmentary reports from the jungle
Businesses where the men of the jungle,
clad in picturesque uniforms which look
like blue pajamas. had barricaded them
selves indicated that the insurgents had
lost between so and 100 men, with
many more wounded. No casualties
were reported by the government forces
The British were said to have sur
rounded the rebels in a wild, hilly
region where there is little food and less
water. Presumably the enemy was max
ing its last stand under the mysterious
master mind" who is believed to have
directed the raids which have terrorized
the countryside for two weeks.
AS though to show that their spirit
was still unconquered despite their in
creasingly precarious position, the native
forces accomplished a brilliant sortie last
night, burning down one village on the
edge of the jungle after its inhabitants
had fled in panic.

GAS KILLS ) BOYS
|NABANDONED MINE
Dog Accompanying Victims
Goes Home to Sound
Alarm.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, December 3d.
A shaggy dog, whose nervous barking
and whining could not be stilled, led
man into an abandoned mine in the
south hills last night and there five
boys were found, victims of gas.
Today white crepe symbols replaced
holly wreaths at the homes of Steve
Polka, 16; Andrew Novak, 16; John
Vogick, IA; Walter Kubala, Is, and
Joseph Kasicik, II.
The boys went into the mine to
gather coal for their families Several
of them carried candles. About three
quarters of a mile in they began to
drop.
The dog, constant companion of the
Vogick boy, returned home alone. When
it could not be quieted the boys father
followed the dog to the pit.
United States Bureau of Mines men,
police and firemen worked for hours
in an effort to revive the boys. One
was dead when he was brought from
the mine. The others died in a hos
pital.
Battalion Chief Saul Klein was over
come while trying to save the lads.
He is recovering in hospital.

STATE POLICE DUTIES
UNDER DRY ACT DEFINED
Massachusetts Attorney General
Holds They Have No Authority
to Enforce National Law.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, December 30.-State police
officers have no authority to enforce the
national prohibition act, but, under
State law, can make arrests for illegal
dealing in or transporting of intoxicat-
ing liquor, Attorney General Joseph E.
Warner said today.
Warmers opinion was given in reply
to request by Alfred E. Foote, commits
sioner of public safety for information
as to the State police powers as a con-
sequence of the recent repeal of the
State prohibition enforcement act.
Summarizing his findings, Warner
said: Estate police officers have no au-
thority by virtue of the terms of the
national prohibition act to enforce its
provisions, nor have State police officers,
as such, any power at common law to
arrest without a warrant for any viola
ton of the national prohibition act, even
if such violation were constituted fell
onieS by the 10. es act.
Certain State magistrates may, how
ever, If they choose, issue process for the
apprehension Of violators of any Federal
act, and State police officers have, of
course, the powers derived from such
process"

District Commissioners.
Simmons Issues Statement.
In support of his contentious, Rep
resentative Simmons issued the follow
ing statement:
every year just prior to the holding
of hearings on the District appropria-
ton bill the school officials find some
reason or excuse for breaking into print
with some statement about the aWful
condition of the Washington schools.
It NAV be only a coincidence that this
occurs lust before the hearings-but 1t
always occurs in this way.
"The people of Washington are en-
titled to know the facts. In January.
1927, DR.. Ballou, superintendent OF
schools, testified before the committee
regarding the need of building accom-
modationS for senior high schools that

guess" as to those needs and that I'VE

house construction for senior high
school pupils, and we will not urge ad-
ditional accommodations for senior high
schools unless the increased enrolment
materializes." He urged then the build
ing of elementary school buildings and
Congress has followed his advice. He
has not changed his recommendation.
Says Ability Is Lacking.

for the situation at Western High
School and what is being done to relieve
it? / submit that the primary respon-
sibility for knowing the needs OF the
schools, actual and anticipated, rest:
with the school officials. They should
know those needs and recommend plans
to meet them. To allow the situation
to develop at Western High which has
developed shows woeful lack of admin
istrative ability.

flying in favor of the building of the
junior high school at Reno called the

would care for ninth grade pupils whose
presence at Western High School would

STEROL HELD KEY
TO TUBERCULOSIS
TubercIe BaciIIi Believed to
Take Vital Alcohol From
Human Cells.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, December 30.-The
tuberculosis germ either lacks or
strangely conceals a peculiar alcohol
common to most living things and this
may account for its deadliness.
The missing alcohol is sterol sub
stance which absorbs the benefits of
sunshine and light, and not associated
with drinkables.
Discovery of the deficiency was re-
ported today by DR.. Robert j. Anderson
of Yale University to the chemistry
section of the American Association for
! the Advancement of Science.
"Sterols of some kind" he said, "are
always associated with the fats in all
living cells. In the examination of the
fats and lipoids obtained from tubercle
bacilli we have never been able to
isolate even traces of true sterols or of
substances which give any of the usual
sterol reactions.
ut is, of course, not impossible that
the sterols may be present in the bacili
in some combination which is inSoluble
in such fat solvents as we have en-
ployed in the extraction of the bacteria
AS chemist DR.. Anderson did not
comment on the health effects of the
missing sterol. This explanation came
| from biologists associated with Yale in
the national cooperative endeavor to
discover a specific cure for tuberculosis,
of which DR.. William Charles White of
Washington is director.
SterOls in Human Cells.
They said that sterol by absorbing
| sunlight forms ergosterol, which pre-
vents ricketts,. Animals robbed of sterols
| do not live.
There are sterols in the human cells
| in which tubercle bacilli live, it was
explained further, and it may be that
the germs rob the cells of this alcohol
| to get the life substance they themselves
do not possess.
The sterol is one of several chemical
| peculiaritieS in the tubercle bacillus re-
ported by Dr. Anderson. These oddi-
ties are sought as entering wedges in
the search for something to loosen the
| germ from his grip.
One of the most significant, said the
| psychologists, is the fact that although
| the four types of tuberculosis bacilli
are so similar they can scarcely be dis
tinguished apart, yet when reduced to
chemical elements they are tremendous
" different. The four are human
bovine. bird and timothy hay, the latter
| harmless.
Dr. Anderson concentrated on certain
small rather than the big chemical diff
ferences, because in practice the small
differences have often been found most
potent DilutionS of sugars as small as
one part in five million have produced
chemical reactions in tuberculosis and
Dr. Anderson reported further on new
sugars in tuberculosis germs uncovered
at Yale The latest is d-araginose, one
of the rarest in nature, previously found
only in a certain tropical plant and IN
one kind of diabetes.
