bed was empty and the window
open. Investigation revealed the
body Of Mrs. Sternss lying at the
bottom Of an iron stairway lead
ing into the basement at the
rear of the hospital. She was
dead when William Yates, an am
bulance driver, picked up the
body.
Mrs. Sterns, who had been SUIT
fering from injuries she received
in the fall last August, and from
other ailments, had failed to
rally, despite the care of nurses
and physicians. She remained
extremely weak and appeared de-
Spondent.
Physicians are puzzled as to
how the woman managed TO get
from her bed to the window.
They had believed that she was
too weak to crawl from the bed
and open the window.
Husband Notified
The body fell at some distance
from the window from which the
woman leaped. giving rise to the
belief that she jumped with con-
siderable force, the body falling
in an arc. In the fall she cleared
two projecting lower stories of
the hospital, which would have
blocked the drop had she fallen
straight from the window.
Mrs. Sterns' husband, Allen G..
Sterns, a construction engineer
employed by the Fred Gischner
Iron Company, today declined
TO comment on his wife'S death.
SternS and his wife came to
washington from Philadelphia
some time ago.
Shortly after the woman's
leap the body was removed to the

HOOVER FLAYED

Assailing the report Of Presi.
dent Hooyer's law enforcement
commission as exceedingly disap'
pointing" Senator Wagner (Da
of New York, today challenged
the President to carry out his
campaign pledge to remedy grave
abuses" in prohibition.
Wagner, q former member OF
the New York State Supreme
Court, declared the commission
had proceeded on the wrong
track" by attempting to "ctlre
prohibition without looking to
any change in the law" He de
clared the nation expected some
action to curb "the killing and
manning of our citizens by armed
enforcement officers" alleged vio-
lation Of the sanctity Of the
homes and what Mr.. Justice
Holmes called the dirty business
of wire tapping"

had created "abySmal confusion"
and mental chaos" in the very
highest places" Instead Of really
trying to remedy the, situation,
he added, the mountains labored
and brought forth q mouse and
a very tiny one at that"
The Presidents proposal for
conferring magistrate powers on
United States commissioners was
described as unconstitutional by
Wagner, who voiced ten objec-
tions to this legislation.
His chief objections were the
measure would place . club in
the hands of district attorneys
by which accused men could be
bludgeoned into pleas Of guilty.
He charged the bin would vio-
late the "due process Of law
guarantee of the constitution
and would create minor courts
under q fiction" which were
themselves unconstitutional. He
also argued that the fact a dis
trict attorney may determine
under the bill whether to try
an accused for a misdemeanor
or for a felony was q further
violation Of the Constitution.
"The solution of this problem
will not come from those bigoted
in their obstinacy," he added.
"A new liberalism must be for
mulated and foStered by those
who acknowledging the evils of
the old system, refuse to go back
and recognizing the evils Of the
present system, insist on going

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25. (A) The development of a new proc ess for extracting radium by which it Is hoped to make pos sible large scale production and consequent lowering of cost was announced by the Marjohn Mines company.
 The process Is largely the work of Arthur Hand Burton, metal lurgist and chemist, and involves the use of both the cathode Ray & Hasselmar current dynamic electricity, the latter voltages varying from 5oO,O0O to 3,5oo,00O.
 Numerous experiments have been conducted over period of omre than one year The ability ito recovery radium by the new method from radio active ones. in the Old Mother lode country, has been consistently demonstrated, John Martin, president of the company, said.
 The ore is taken from the ap- parently and virtually limitless deposit of the Calaveras County vein, which extreme width is 50 feae.
