HUGE STILL FOUND
AND BLOWN TO BITS
Plant of 1000 Gallons Ca
pacity Discovered in
Maryland Woods.

Located in the woods in Charles
County, Md, about miles from WAL
dorf, a huge illicit liquor still was
seized yesterday by prohibition agents
and blown to bits by dynamite.
The big liquor manufacturing plant
was a picturesque establishment, set
up to turn out large quantity of rye
whisky and was believed to have been
a source for some of the bootleg trade
in the National Capital It was well
supplied with materials, which were
seized and destroyed, all except a lone
mule, which was released Prohibition
authorities have found that animals
seized in prohibition raids cost more
to maintain than can be realized from
their sale.
No one was at or near the still when
it was seized.
The prohibition agents, headed by
William r. Blandford, deputy prohibi-
ton administrator for this section, in
order to get to the still went by the
house of the justice of the peace, past
his barn, across two fields and into a
woods, which was not on the Justices
farm, but about 500 yards from his
home. 1t was also learned that the still
was not located on the property of a
deputy sheriff, who lived in a house
also about 500 yards from the still.
The still was operated by an old saw
mill boiler mounted on wheels The

TO TELL
OF LABRADOR FOLKS
Sir WiIfred GrenfeII to Talk
Under Auspices of Geo.
graphic Society.

A vivid picture of the Labrador of the
rugged fisher folk, who for over $50 years
have wreSted living from the icy waters
of the Arctic Ocean, win be presented to
a large and distinguished audience to-
night in lecture delivered at the Wash
ington Auditorium by Sir Wilfred T..
Grenfell under the auspices of the Ma
tional Geographic Society.
Over 35 years ago Sir Wilfred, then
DR.. Grenfell, set sail from England for
the Labrador coast to investigate con-
ditions among the fishermen there
From that day until this he has labored
ceaseleSsly to better conditions among
the people of that region. Hospitals,
nursing stations, schools, orphanageS
and industrial work centers for the
benefit of the fishermen and their FAM
lilies have been established by Sir Will
fred since the time when as a young
doctor he first set foot on the Labrador
coast. Sir Wilfred's greatest source of
pride is the splendidly equipped hos
pital at st. Anthony, which boasts a
staff of doctors and nurses unsurpassed
in equipment and training by any hos
pital In the great civilized" centers Of
the world.
Lady Grenfell, who is Of Scotch
American descent, the daughter of
Edmund Mechanism Of Chicago, ac-
companies Sir Wilfred on most of his
expeditions of mercy to the most iso-
lated districts of the Labrador coast.
Contrary to the prevalent idea of those
unfamiliar with that part of the world,
scarcely 900 Eskimos remain in all
of Labrador, and very few of Sir Will
fred's patients and those coming under
his care are the aborigines of the
country.
Lady Grenfell tells you that furs are
never worn in Labrador, except in the
Summer time"
I'VE wear garments Of closely woven
cotton CLOTH" she said. In answer to
the feminine question as to clothes.
"Sir Wilfred worked for two years in
cooperation with experts in England
to perfect this cloth, far better pro-
lection against the cold than fur gar
ments."
Lady Grenfell is great lover of
dogs and horses and states that in
her opinion, next to horseback riding,
the greatest sport in the world is

The House immigration committee

residence abroad.
Also it would permit a woman who
has married and lost her citizenship to
return outside the immigration quota.
Representative Ruth Bryan Owen, re-
Gently witness on the bill, testified
regarding her own experience i'll facing

her citizenship by marrying a British
army officer. She later was repatriated.
The new bill will be presented to the

G. U. Student TRIES
SUICIDE IN CELL
Efforts to Hang Himself With
Vest Detected and Fooled
by Officer.

Antonio Carson Alarid, 30-year-old
etudent at the Georgetown University
kSchool of Foreign Service, attempted
to end his life in cell at the first
precinct police station early today by
hanging himself with his vest. His
7efforts were frustrated, however when
Desk Of1lcer Harry Lanahan discovered
the act and cut the youth down.
Alarid is being held for mental OBJ
|eervation at Gallinger Hospital. His
home is in Santa Fe, N. Mex, while
he resides at the st. Mihiel Apartments,
'17l2 Sixteenth street, during the COL
lege term.
The youth was arrested for investi-
cation at 2:30 o'clock this morning
when he accosted Policeman r. H.
McGhee of No. precinct at Four
teenth street and New York avenue
and asked to be taken into custody.
Booked for Investigation.
yMcGhee called for the patrol wagon
and took Alarid to the first precinct,
where he was booked for investigation
and lodged in a cell.
Desk Officer Lanahan was making his
rounds of the cell block about 80
,ksnutes later when he found Alarid
~~Hging from his cell door. Hurriedly
unlocking the door, he cut the youth
down and then summoned fire rescue
squad No. and the Emergency Hos
pdtal ambulance.
The youth was soon revived and later
was taken to Gallinger Hospital for
mental observation. He was suffering
no i'll effects from the suicidal attempt
today, hospital authorities said.
Semi-cOnscious When Found.
Oficer Lanahan said that Alarid had
tied his vest to the cell door and then
stuck his head through one of the arm
holes. The vest was slowly choking him
and he was in a Semi-conScious con-
dition when discovered by the police
man.
A roommate, Gerald DAILY, said that
Alarid left their apartment at the St.
Mihiel about 1880 o'clock last night
and he had not seen him since.

that paper also argues: "a three-power

merely a gesture with which to wind
up the diplomatic venture. and will
give the delegates something to point
to as a justification of their meeting

whether we view the agreement her

both London and Washington from

those originating from Toxic. Japan

While only limited results are believed
possible from the naval agreement OF
the United States, Japan and Great
Britain, the American press looks upon
the arrangement made at London as
one step in the direction of better world
conditions. While 1t Is pointed out that
three nations cannot enter upon pro-
gram of extensive reduction, it Is sug-
gested that these nations may eventual
~ influence others.
The agreement, in the Judgment OF
the San Francisco Chronicle. is q
notable victory for that sincere and de-
termined spirit which held the dele
gates to their appointed task In the
face Of undoubted internal discourage
ments and of noisy lingo defeatist
clamor from without" Observing that
"the ARRANGEMENT is intended to re-
main in force only until 1885," the
Hartford Courant suggests: AT the
end Of six years, the naval authorities
in Japan may be more deeply persuaded
of the friendly intentions Of the United
States and may consequently be more
willing to abandon their continued
claim for a navy 10 per cent as large
as that of the United States. Since
the conference at Washington in 1922,
confidence between the two nations has
increased notably. In 1886, relations
should rest on an even firmer basis of
good will"

A step forward is seen by the st.

that "for America, England and japan

them, is achieved" The Charlotte

well be emulated by some of those
governments that have far less at

that cruisers are the pivot on which
this conference turns and Japan has
recognized it in an accommodating
"The conference has at least been

world upon the conflict between the
ancient and now Illegal doctrine OF al

the new and logical doctrine of agree
ments based on general remuneration OF
war as an instrument of national policy.
The former doctrine still has Its adj

world have been filled in recent weeks
with the danger Of acquiring serious and
fatal diseases from parrots, those bril-
liant anu interesting birds which have
so long been the beauty and delight of
many homes. Inasmuch as serious
sicknesSes have been traced to contact
with these feathered entertainers, de-
mandS have been made by certain UNI
reasonable people that all pet parrots
received encouragement In this city
due to the fact that a little girl pro-
voking a parrakeet-that pretty diminu-
tive OF the parrot family-was bitten on
the finger and has since been seriously
Ill in the hospital.
Because Of the comparative rarity of
these cases is it advisable to destroy all
the parrots? When one dog has hydro
phobia we do not kill all the other dogs,
but only the dogs known or suspected
to be infected with the disease. The
same considerations should govern the
campaign against the parrots.
