States attorneys office in its investiga-
ton of informal complaints that Attor-
ney Harry x. Curtis, son of the Vice
President. had accepted fees with The
understanding that he was to use his
influence in obtaining Government con-

None Of the seven contractors gave
any damaging information against
Curtis, Chief Investigator Patrick

tractors also will be questioned.
Three Of the contractors told Roche
they had paid money to Curtis, but none
said Curtis had promised to get con-
tracts.
A. H. McGill, general contractor, said
he paid $3.50 to Curtis to be kept in
formed on contracts, but declared he
regarded payment as retainer.

Graf denied that Government contracts
were discussed He said he paid Curtis
$500 as retainer to represent him In a
foreclosure proceeding.
Paul Wahl, general contractor, said
he paid $500 to Curtis; that 5000 was
returned to him; that Curtis made him
no promises.
The other of the contractors said they
had talked to Malloy but had paid no
money. Two Of them said Malloy talked
to them about Government contracts

put up retainers fees.

had received the promise Of a Govern

Der Malloy called on him and asked If
Curtis could get any Government con

"Of course can not" Later Malloy re-
turned and declared he represented a
group of contractors who wanted Curtis
to get information on specifications and
dates for bids to be made on Govern
ment projects, Curtis related, adding
that he had accepted this commission
as perfectly legal work any attorney

TEACHERS FAVORED
AS RADIO SPEAKERS
Existence Of Many Former Pupils
Believed Assurance of Popularity
by Familiar Voices.

NEW YO4.K CN.A.N.A.).-It strikes
the skyliner that the broadcasters would
do well to get more veteran school teach
ers in front Of the mike" Think how
MANY former pupils in the public schools
here would be glad to hear again the
voice Of such a teacher as DR.. Gustave
Straubenmuller, who taught German
years ago and in his school career has
supervised courses and syllabuses and
textbooks and teachers training and
children's lunches.
OF late he has been emphasizing the
value Of nature study for the children of
city who have difficulty even in max
ing contact with the nature of growing
things. He has interested himself in
the school garden association from the
time 1t was started, 20 years ago, to the
present, and has seen the membership
grow from rs to more than 10000.
"A very scholarly man." DR.. Straub-
enmuller has been called by superin-
tendents of the public school system,
but unlike some scholars he has long
advocated commercial, industrial and
vocational education. He was born in
1850, has been associate superintendent
OF schools for 20 years, and Is due to
retire this year.
During his career vacations have in
creased from 46 days to 80 and that
also he approves, because the nervous
strain Of the city Is at least twice that
what 1t used to be.

its merits or demerits. Secretary

STEVENS
GOES ON AIR

Miss Doris Stevens, chairman
of the inter-American commits
sion of women, who has just re-
turned from The Hague will
speak over VOL in a nation
wide hookup this evening at 6:45
o'clock.
She will tell of the fight the
feminists made to prevent a
world law based on unequal ma
tionality rights between men and
women, from being launched by
The. Hague conference for the
codification of international law,
AS a result of the feminist
fight made at The Hague under
Miss Stevens leadership, and in
Washington under the leadership
of Miss Alice Paul, the United
States voted against a nationality
treaty which discriminateS against
women.
Miss Stevens will discuss the
Cable amendments bill, which is
now before the Senate and
which. when it is passed, will
repatriate American women who
lost their birthright by marriage
to a foreigner before 1922, the
date of the original Cable act.
Miss Stevens said:
"When the Gable amendments
are passed American women
will have practically full ma.
tiOnality rights.
1--WE will no longer be in the
humiliating position of having
our country dependent upon
the nationality of our hus-
bands"
