Foot Ball Heroes,
Inquiry Discloses
Northwestern Girls Like
Athletic Men, but Not
Athletes.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
EVANSTON, Ill, November 19.-The
foct ball hero isn't so popular as one
might imagine, at least with many Of
the co-eds Of Northwestern University.
The Daily Northwestern and other
student publications sent questionnaires
to 800 freshmen co-edS asking for an
swers to these questions:
What must your perfect man be, and
what do you think Of $3.50 dating?"
Those responsible for the questions
said the concensus was that the perfect
man must be athletic but not an ath-
lete, must have personality but not con-
ceit, must be intellectual, tall, con-
siderate and ambitious.
As to $3.50 dating the co-eds were very
much opposed to the idea, one Of them
saying the girls spend all their money
on clothes to make themselves attrac-
tive and have no money left for dutch
treats"

Indictments 0uashed in All
Cases; Jurors Discharged
and Inquiry Comes to End

NEW YORK, Jan. % G.N.sO.
The Ewald case was closed today
following the quashing Of all of
the indictments found by the
special grand jury appointed to
investigate charges of job-buying.
The jurors had been in session
since September is.
The indictments were quashed
by Justice Philip J. McCOok, of
the supreme court.
"NO Bill" the Answer
The jurors also declared there
was mo bill" in connection with
the investigation into the ap-
pOintment of General Sessions
Judge AmadeO A. Bertini, and
they were discharged.
The indictments charged George
F. Ewald and his wife with
having paid $4,000 for the
magistracy to which he was ap-
pointed by Mayor Walker in
1927.
Martin j. Healy, Tammany dis
trict leader, and Thomas T. Tom
nancy, sheriff's clerk, were
charged with having sold it.
DR.. Francis M. Schirp, of the
Steuben Society, was charged with
having sold the influence Of the
organization for $4,000.
Hard to Find Jury
Justice McCOOk In his opinion
declared that there probably could
not be found in all New York
city IL jurors who would agree
on a verdict.
Healy and Tommaney had been
tried twice and the Ewalds once
all of the trials ending in dis
agreement.

PAVLOWA DIES
Of PLEUR|SY

THE HAGUE, Jan. % IN.s0.
Death had rung down the curtain
today on the career Of Anna Paw
Iowa, considered the worlds
premier danseuse. On January
81 she would have been 46 years
old.
The trim, small ballerina
whose graceful interpretations Of
classic dance brought her the
acclaim of the old and new
worlds and the personal praise of
various monarchs, succumbed to
pleurisy a few days after con-
tracing a chill while en- route
here from France.
Doctors Work Vainly
Physicians strove in vain to
save her, resorting finally to
camphor injections to strengthen
her weakening heart. Complica-
tions set in, however, and the end
came at / a. m. this morning.
Her husband and violin accom-
panist, Victor D'Andre, was at the
bedside. The couple were mar
ried in 1924.
For more than 20 years Nine.
Pavlowa captivated her audiences
with the exquisite technique of
her dancing, retaining her popu-
larity despite the postwar jazz
age.
Made Three Tours Here
1t was estimated that during
her career she travelled more than
100000 miles for appearances in
the different cities and capitals
of the world. Her American
premier was made at the Metro
politan Opera House, New York,
February %, 1910. She received
an enthusiastic reception, and
returned for tour of the United
States in 1915. In 1924 she made
what she declared to be her fare
we'll American tour.
Nine. Pavlowa then returned
to her luxurious London home,
but the lure of the stage was
strong. Partly to combat the in
roads Of jazz upon the classic
art of dancing, the ballerina
again stepped into the spotlight,
drawing extensively upon the
Orient for background to her in
terpretations.
Born in Russia
She was born in st. Petersburg,
now Leningrad, in 1885. At the
early age of 10 her dancing
ability gained her admission to
the school of the Russian i'm
perial ballet.
In 1910, when 25, she made her
first appearance in the Imperial
Opera House at st. Petersburg.
Subsequently she made appear
ances in Paris and London, and
gained fresh honors. The dance
Of the dying swan and similar
interpretations soon spread her
fame worldwide.

PLEA SPEEDED

Preliminary steps in preparing
the petition for a modification Of
the consent decree under which
electric rates are made annually
is expected to be taken today by
Corporation Counsel w. w. Bride
and his assistant, William A..
Roberts, who has charge Of public
utility matters.
Prompt filing Of the petition in
the District Supreme Court will
depend on the rapidity with which
the Public Utilities Commission
furnishes certain evidence on
earnings of the Potomac Electric
Power Company.
While Mr.. Bride and his assiS-
tant are laying the groundwork
for filing the petition in accord
ance with the instructions of the
commission, Richmond B. Keech,
peoples counsel, will decide on a
plan aimed to upset immediate
court proceedings, it is understood.
The commission yesterday re-
jected an opinion Of the corpora
tion counsel which recommended
that the decree be abrogated, and
insisted on instituting court pro-
ceedings to have the decree modi-
fled to permit the company to
earn a 634 per cent return on its
fair value instead Of the present
