TRYING I'D MAKE
 HOOVER DIP INTO NEW YORK MIDDLE
Spokesman Gone to Capital to Get President to Urge
 Two Republican Sena-
 tors to Change Mind

New York, March IT. (UP)-The intervention of the President Hoover was sought to-day in the fight t. authorize a general legislative in- quiry into the New York city ad- mfnistration, while officials investi- gated the death of another witness against vice squad policemen ac- |cused of framing girls.
 w, Kingsland Macy left last night for Washington to ask the president to use his influence on the two West chester republican state senators whose votes control the passage of the resolution for city investiga Mastfck and Walter w. Westa1l, and they have so far opposed the resoIu- tion which is pending before the leg islature.
 At the same time, Dr John Haynes Holmes. chairman of the city affairs committee, which is pursuing an- other course toward a city-wide in- vestigation by attempting to force the removal of Mayor Walker. An- nounced that the charges against the mayor would be put in final shape to-day. They will be deliver ed to Governor Roosevelt at his convenience.
 An autopsy was ordered perform ed on the body of Georgia Gray. red-haired dancing girl, who died of an illness diagnosed as pneu- monia. She was registered there under the name of Violet Smith and 1t was not until yesterday that her body was identified by an investiga tor from the district attorneys office.
 Although the pneumonia diagnosis was believed to be correct, Assistant Medical Examiner Thomas A. Con- zales ordered the autopsy when he learned of her identification.

BcthrotIled at :, and : Married at 13

 The boy went to the local schools. He led the life of the ordinary young Hindu. At the age of he was bethrothed by his parents. Two of his destined child brides died {. To the third he was married when he was 13.
 Gandhi has recorded that to him, at the time. this meant nothing more than the wearing of good clothes. drum beating, marriage pro- sessions. rich dinners and strange girl to play with. s
 In school he was an indifferent pupil. He had trouble in learning Sanskrit, the language Tn which the sacred books of his religion were written. He did not care for athletic games. He was a little coward, afraid of thieves, ghosts and serpents. His greatest boyhood sin was. when led astroy by one of his more sophisticated school com panions, he sneaker away to a lonely place and ate meat--some thing forbidden by his religion.
 He went to college and was not 8 success. His people concluded that the easiest way for him to make success in the world was to study law And the easiest place to get 5hia necessary papers was England.s
 His elder brother was willing to put up the money, but his religious mother feared for the lads soul. Someone had told her that young men got morally lost in England But he satisfied her by taking a solemn VOW to lead life of celi-. bacy in England and never to drink wine nor eat meat. (. Sails for England x To Study Low Course @
 Gandhis sailed for England and settled down in London to read law. &
 He wanted to know. the things it was necessary to- have to be an English gentleman. So he was in- formed it was necessary for him to take lessons in dancing, French and elocution. He found 1t was inn. possible for him 10 achieve any thing like srhythmic motion So he bought fiddle and tried to learn music.

troom where he cooked most of his own simple meals and manager to | live on 31 cents day. He had plenty of time to read other things than. the law. At home, although a Hindu he had no extensive knowledge of the sacred books of his own religion. But in
 his fathers house he had met men, not only of his own faith, but Mus lims. and Parsees.
 Bible Greatly Affects
 Life of Young Hindu
 Somebody gave him the Bible in London. He picked up the old Test ament, read through Genesis and the rest put him to sieep. He picked up the New Testament and was wide awake. Jesus enthralled him. The Sermon on the Mount went straight to his heart. This heading was to bear fruit in later years. He was to attempt to live whatt he sages of his own religion and what Jesus preached. He was to be more Christian than many who called themselves so.
 Having been admitted to the bar in London, he returned to his home, Flor time was briefIess barrister. There was chance that he might lead the same kind of life and have the same kind of struggles that other young Hindu lawyers have in order to make a liying.t
 Goes to Africa as
 Unknown, Soon Famous
 Then fate knocked at the door. This was in 1898, when he was 24. A firm of Indian merchants, who did business in South Africa, had a lawsuit down there involving $200,- 900. They wanted him to go there and make himself useful. They would pay his fare and his keep md in addition $500. It was un- derstodd that he would stay in South Africa for year. It was not much of a job and not much in the way of remuneration. But it was start. It was something.
 He went for a year. He was to stay for 20. He went to fight q lawsuit He stayed to fight the cause of his brown brothers.

 Hindu by Religion.
 But Student of Jesus
 A Hindu by birth and religion and caste, he disregards caste in his humane attitude towards the untouchables, combines the teach ings of his holy books with those of Jesus and goes his way, turning the left cheek when the right is smitten.
 Never a profound student, he Is, nevertheless. keen admirer of the quietist books of Tolstoi, and

Gandhi's labors; more his than all the others who have gone before or who have been his contempo- raries and co-workers.
 And strange has been the TO- mantle story of this mans life.
 He was born in the little town of Porbunder in the Indian semi-inde- pendent states of kathiawar on the western side of India on october 2, 1869. His father and grandfather had been prime ministers and both had suffered exile because of their stout hoesty and independence. The Gandhis were members of the Bania caste, there fore a grade lower than that of the Brahmins or priestly caste. They were at one time retail traders. They were neither rich nor poor.

 r There have been great writers and thinkers like Voltaire and Goethe who in their day by the written word affected the lives and thoughts of millions. There have been warlike and tyrannical kings and emperors who ruled over nations.
 But Gandhi beats them all.
 Still alive. still going strong, armed with neither q potent pen, q golden sceptre or powerful lethal
 weapon, he Is enshrined in the hearts of the majority or the 350,- 100000 brown people who seethe in tho towns and villages and farms of the vast sub-continent of India.
