RUSHED ENCYCLICAL
Vatican Wire Office Solved
Problem by Sending
Text to Rome.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, January 10.-The
popular idea of learned. clustered
monks, porting over dusty volumes might
have been brought up to date If the
world at large had been permitted to
see at work many of the scholars who
for two weeks labored over a transla-
ton into four languages of Pope Plus
AI's encyclical ''of chaSte wedlock."
In the mother house of the Jesuit
order" near Vatican City, where the
translations were made, there are &C.
clesiastics of many countries. Most of
the Papal documents are sent there to
be put into form for transmission to
the bishops and through them to the
communicates in every country OF the
world.
The English text of the 16,00o-word
message was begun after Christmas,
when the Pope's Latin original was still
undergoing the minute revision that
continued until few days ago. At the
same time work was started on the
italian, French and German versions,
but the two latter have not yet been
issued
When the Associated Press asked the
new Vatican City telegraph Office to
transmit the complete English text, with
every punctuation mark and Latin ref
erence, the officials solved the problem
by transmitting the copy in an automo-
bile from Vatican City to Rome rad %
and cable stations, where three fast
transmitting machines waited to send
the document, in Al sections.

COMMITTEE NAMES
TAX CONSULTANT
Detroit Man to Make Study
for House Group on Fis-
cal Relations.

Appointment of George Lord Of De-
troit as tax consultant to the special
select committee studying the fiscal re-
lations between the Federal and Dis
trict governments was announced today
by Representative Mapes of Michigan,
chairman of the body.
Lords appointment, it was said, fol-
lowed the Houses action yesterday in
appropriating $4,000 from its con-
tingent funds for use by the group in
its study.
Lord, who has been tax consultant
to the Detroit Clearing House Associa-
ton, will have headquarters in the
House Office Building, room 293 having
been assigned to him by the committee
Before assuming his new duties, he is
expected to tour various American cities,
analysing their tax systems so that an
equitable basis of comparison can be
determined for use of the body.
1t is probable. Representative Mapes
declared, that the investigation of the
fiscal relations between the two govern
ments will extend beyond March A.
the closing date for the present session
The $4,000 appropriation, he added
will be sufficient to carry the work to
completion, but if it is found necessary
to continue the work beyond the clos
ing date, a special resolution, extending
the life of the group, will have to be
adopted.

EX-BANK EMPLOYE
FOUND GUN VICTIM
Janitor, Coming for Overdue
Rent, Finds Body of
John H. MarIoWe.

With bullet wound in his head and
.38-caliber revolver lying nearby, John
Howard Marlowe, IS, who is said to
have been out of work for several
months, was found dead today in his
apartment, at 1919 Park road.
The discovery was made after James
Fairfax, colored, janitor of the apart
ment house, had been unable to get
any response when he called to collect
Marlowe's rent, which, he said, was
several days in arrears.
Fairfax summoned Patrolman j. w
Doran of the tenth precinct, who was
passing the building.
Doran broke open the door of the
apartment, which is located on the
second floor, and found Marlowe's body
lying on the floor of the bath room.
Coroner j. r. hewitt ordered the body
removed to the District Morgue, pend
ing further investigation. He declined
to say how long Marlowe had been dead
So far as police could learn, no one
in the apartment house had heard the
report of the revolver.
Marlowe was identified by Russell A.
Houser, 3611 Thirteenth street, an en-
ploye of the Park Savings Bank. He
said Marlowe, until a few months ago,
had been employed by the institution
on a part-tine basis. Prior to that, he
added, MarloWe had worked for the
Continental Trust Co.
MarloWe, according to HouSer, had
been separated from his wife, Mrs. Cora
E. Marlowe for some time. She and
their 5-year-old daughter Edith live at
1885 Phelps place.

ARTIST SUES FATFIER-N-LAW
FOR $4,000 ON TWO CHARGES
A. H. Lamp of New York
Alleges Alienation and
False Arrest.
Clarence A. O'Brien, Patent
Attorney Here, D. C. Su-
preme Court Defendant.

Adrian H. Lamp, New York artist,
has filed suit in the District Supreme
Court against his father-in-law, Clar-
ence A. O'Brien, 1915 Crittenden street,
patent attorney, for $3.50 damages on
charges of alienation of affection and
false arrest.
Lamp, who eloped with OBrien's
daughter, Mrs. Ruth A. Cady, Novem-
Der II, 1929. declares he lived happily
with his wife until last November when
he claims O'Brien persuaded her to de-
sert him in New York and return to
Washington. He places this damage at
$50,000
An additional claim for SOS. 900 is
made by the son-in-law, who charges
that when he came to Washington, No
vember Is last, to see his wife he was
arrested at Union Station and held for
18 hours on a charge of carrying a
concealed weapon, which. on investiga-
ton, proved to be a razor he used for
shaving purposes only.
After that charge had been dropped,
he says, he was rearrested and ar
raigned before a United States COM
missioner on charge of making false
statements in passport application in
New York. This charge was afterward
dropped, he says. Attorney Michael j.
Lane represents the plaintiff.
