JAMAICA GINGER

WASHINGTON, Mar. 80. U.R-
Analysis of several hundred sam
piles of the ginger beverages which

that it contained creosote or crude
carbOlic acid. Prohibition Commits

Most of the samples received here
contained from so to 90 per cent
alcohol and with the small quantity

BIG TRAIN
MAY HAVE HIS
PLANS SPOILED

WASHINGTON, Mar. %. W.H-
Walter Johnson's fondest hope for
his son-that he follow the big
league trail in his fathers foot
steps-may never be realized, it
was revealed today as surgeons con
sidered amputating one of the boys
legs.
From the time Walter, Jr., has
been able to hold a baseball in his
hand, Walter, Sr., Washington's
"Big Train," was hoped that the boy
would become major league pitch
or. Two weeks ago that dream was
almost shattered when the IA year
old boy was struck down by an au-
tomobilc while playing in front of
his home. Both legs were broken
and crushed, but hope persisted that
he would regain their use.
Within the last few days com
plications have developed. Remov-
al of the casts has shown that the
compound fracture of one leC had
failed TO knit properly. Physicians
and surgeons said today amputation
might be necessary but that they
would hold out against it for a few
days 10 see IL IL could be avoided.

POWER PERMIT
APPLICATIONS
WILL BE HEARD

WASHINGTON, MAJ. %. tU.P-
The federal power commission is
ready to consider application for
permits affecting development of A
power projects in the Colorado Riv-
er basin, Secretary of Interior Will
bur announced today.
He notified governors of Utah,
Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyom-
ing of the proposed action, which
concerns 19 projects of the Colorado
River, four on the Green River, and
the remainder on tributaries in Col
orado, Utah, and Arizona.
Issuance of licenses in this area
was discontinued in 1927, subject to
the development of the Boulder dam
project. When the Boulder dam act
became effective last June, legisla
tive restrictions on the federal pow
er commission were removed, but
action on applications for authori-
cations in the area were further
withheld at the request of. the states
involved.
Wilbur said the commission prac-
tically cleared its dockets of license
applications contemplating large
projects when it acted last week on
the Safe Harbor project in Pennsyl-
vania. There are now so major IL
cense applications pending and four
major applications ON which decis-
ions are imminent, he said. One of
these concerns the Flathead Lake
project in Montana.

LONDON, Mar. 2s. W.P - The
United States was represented in
American sources at the naval con
ference today as having no inten-
tion of entering any consultative

ca would be willing to assume in
ease there should arise European
troubles in which the United States
would not have the same interest
TO protect as it has on the Pacific.
There was every indication that
Americas part would be severely
restricted and in no way an entang-

The American delegation has not
been asked definitely by any power

pact, it. was made known.
IL was definitely ascertained that
the American delegation has no in

PROOF OF CLAIM
TO BIG ESTATE

NEW YORK, Mar. %. UP)-A
few of the IS affidavits which Max
d. Steuer promised to submit in fur
therance of the claim of Mrs. Char
lotte Fixel Erlanger to a share of
the reputedly $75,000,000 estate of
the late Abraham Erlanger, theatri-
cal magnate, were in the hands of

The contents indicated that a bit
ter fight probably will mark the
contest of will, which bequeaths
the bulk of the estate to a brother
and other relatives of the theatrical
man and leaves nothing to the wom-
an who claims she was his common
law wife.
One Of the sworn statements,
signed by her, charges a conspiracy
between former Supreme Court JUS

of the deceased and Saul J. Baron,
who was Erlanger's counsel, to end
the relationship that existed be-
tween Mrs. Fixel- -Erlanger an d
