COLLEGE BUILDING TOLD.
Father L. J. FusZ Recalls Construction
of Storm Razed School.

KANSAS CITY, September IL (P).-
News of the destruction of st. Johns
College at Belize, British Honduras, by
a tropical hurricane, came as shock
to the Rev. Louis j. Fusz, under whose
direction the institution was built IA
years ago.
Father Fusz. now assistant pastor of
the st. Francis Xavier Church of Kan
sas City, recalled last night how he
had undertaken the task with the aid
Of dozen American artisans to direct
the native helpers. The school, he
said replaced old st. Johns College in
the heart of the city.
In october of 1917 he sent natives
up into the pine forests above Belize
to obtain material. Using oxen they
dragged the logs to the Belize River,
where RATS were formed and hoated to
the school site, about mile from the
city.
After the main building had been
erected, Father Fusz and his men built
a subsidiary chapel, a gymnasium and
an aquatic stockade where the students
could swim without fear of sharks.
The school, Father Fusz said, had
accommodations for about 200 boarding
students and 100 day students. 1t drew
patrons from Salvador, Nicaragua, Hon.
duras, Mexico and South American
countries.

course of the Transsiberian Railroad
toward Toxic, striving to surpass the
5,000-mile flight of Russell Boardmar

Yesterday they left Paris a few
minutes ahead of the famous trans
atlantic ship Question Mark, carrying
Paul Codes and Henri Robida, whC
were going over the same route with
Toxic as their ultimate destination.
The Question Mark was forced dowr
at Nieukirk, near the Netherlandi

Lebrix was one of the most famous
flyers in the world. He was best known

Doret was distinguished in his owr
right as a flyer. In January, 1880, h,

record at the time.

LOST SEA FLYERS
SOUGHT IN ALASKA
Ship Reports Hearing Plane
Near Time of MoyIe and
Allen Schedule.
BY the Associated Press.

SEATTLE, September 12.-The search
for Don Moyle and c. A. Allen, missing
transpacific flyers, turned to South
eastern Alaska today as the result of a
report by the captain and passengers Of
the steamship Alaska that they heard
the whine Of an airplane motor of
Lituya Bay Tuesday night.
Capt. H. Hanson of the steamer, at
Seward, Alaska, yesterday. said the mo-
tor was heard when the vessel was
the coast west of Juneau. He said the
plane apparently was headed eastward.
The captain placed the time of hear
ing the motor at IL pm, Pacific stand
ard time g am. Wednesday, Eastern
standard time), which was 3412 hours
after the flyers lifted their ship from
Samushiro Beach, Northern Japan, and
started for Seattle.
At their estimated cruising speed, they
should have been in that vicinity. ap-
proximately 1000 miles from Seattle and
$3.50 miles from their starting point
at the time the sound was heard.
Capt. Hanson said 1t was dark and
misty and the sea was fairly calm. Re-
ports from Seward said it was improb-
able any other plane was flying in the
vicinity at the time.
w. w. Conner, governor for Washing
ton Of the National Aeronautic Associa-
ton, Immediately telegraphed to Alaska
to determine whether any planes were
known to have been near Lituya Bay
Tuesday night. He said search would
be organized Immediately to comb the
shoreline and coastal mountains west
Of Juneau II tangible evidence was pre-
sented.
Meanwhile other reports Of airplanes
being seen or having landed in isolated
locations were proved valueless in the
hunt for Moyle and Allen. The ship
reported flying over Carmack, 200 miles
north of Wihtehorse, Y. T., yesterday,
was definitely established as belonging
to mining company on the Yukon
River.
Rumors, Of an unknown source, that
a large monoplane had landed early
Wednesday on an isolated island along
the Northern British Columbia Coast
were unconflrmed.

SEEKS REGULATION
FOR MOTOR LINES
Committee From U. S. Bar
Also Plans Plea for New
Trust Laws.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 12-Federal
legislation to regulate motor vehicles in
interstate commerce, as railroads now
are regulated. will be urged on the
American Bar Association at its annual
convention in Atlantic City next week.
A resolution will be submitted by the
Standing Committee on Commerce,
which also urges that the Federal Trade
Commission be given statutory author
ity to pass in advance on the applica-
ton of the antitrust laws to prospec-
tive mergers.
Need Seen for Remedies.
These two matters are considered i'm
portant because the railroads have COM
planned that buses and other motor
carriers are able to compete on an I'M
fair basis since they are not subject to
interstate regulation. Likewise, trade
associations seeking to regulate the
businesses Of their industries have COM
planned they are held back by fear of
tllC dlACA-IA avs
The Committee on the Conservation
of Mineral Resources will recommend
that the committee be authorized tc
cooperate in thorough investigation Of
the antitrust laws and in obtaining
such changes in these laws as may be
helpful to industry. The committee
seeks to cooperate particularly with the
oil and coal industries, which are con-
cerned with huge overproduction and
the legal difficulties Of making CO.
operative efforts to restrain production
Uniform Laws Urged.
Other committee reports urge
changes in the radio laws, various prof.
ects for uniform State legislation, uni
form judicial procedure and Federal
taxation.
The association meeting proper will
begin September IT. but associate and
other legal bodies will commence work
Monday.
Among speeches will be that of Gov.
Albert c. Ritchie of Maryland at the
session on public utilities.
Charles A. Boston, president OF the
association, will open the convention
with an address on the Constitution
Other speakers will include w. D. Her
ridge, Canadian Minister to the United
States: M. Fernand Payen, chief OF
the Paris bar: Silas H. Strawn, presi-
dent of the U. S. Chamber Of Com
merce, and Cicero I. Murray, cousin
Of Gov. Murray of Oklahoma.

BIG CHINESE PAGODA
FOR D. C. FORECAST
Paul Linebarger Tells Society
Modernized Structure Here
Would Be Landmark.

Construction Of a giant Chinese pa
CODA In Washington by the China
American Union was forecast by Judge
Paul Linebarger, legal adviser of the
National Government of China, in an
address before the joint annual conven-
ton of the Chinese Engineering Society
and the China Science Society in New
York City last night.
The pagoda will bring together un-
der one great roof the scholarship OF
China and the scientific thinkers OF
America" Judge Linebarger prophesied
He also predicted that the structure
would become a greater landmark than
the White House, and intellectually
the most interesting building ia the
city.
II am surprised that our American
architects are so far behind the times
in matters of architecture" Judge Line
barger stated. Here in Washington
they still continue to build on Greek
and Roman patterns. We shall show
them, I think, a great improvement in
their old backward styles by modern
izing the idea of the ancient Chinese
pagoda."
Judge Linebarger, who was for many
years financial and political agent of
the late Chinese leader, DR.. Sun Vat
Sen. in last nights address described
him as 1.-The greatest man Of all time"

FIVE D. C. LAWYERS
CONSTITUTE BOARD
IN STAPLES PROBE
Continued From First Page.)


mending the reinstatement of former
Policeman Staples and punishment of
those responsible for his removal from
the force.
The invitations were sent to George
Ofutt president Of the Board Of Trade;
Harry King, president of the Chamber
Of Commerce; Mark Lansburgh, rresi-
dent of the Merchants & Manufac-
turers' Association; DR.. George C. Hav-
enner, president of the Federation Of
Citizens Associations, and DR.. George
H. Richardson, president Of the Fed
Grafton of Civic Associations. The last
named is colored organization.
The heads of these five groups were
requested to meet with the Commits
Sioners at the District Building Mon
day at 2 o'clock. 1t is the intention Of
the Commissioners to ask them to sug-
gest the names of the outstanding men
in their respective organizations who
might serve on the proposed civilian
board as civic duty.
The Commissioners, it was said, re-
gard the five organizations invited to
aid them as representative OF the civic
and commercial life of the District, and
from their membership five men Of the
type they want on the civilian board
can be selected to pass upon the grand
Jurys findings. Each organization will
be asked to suggest a number OF men
and from the combined list the Com
missioners will select five.
The appeal Of the Commissioners to
the civic and trade organizations to as
sist them necessarily will delay the pro-
gram for dispoSlng OF the grand jury
report received at the District Building
a week ago today. DR.. Luther H.
Reichelderfer, president OF the Board OF
Commissioners, said 1t would likely be
the latter part of next week before the
board is selected and organized.
DR.. Reichelderfer also pointed out
that action on the grand jurys report
will not be rushed at this time because
of the desire of the Commissioners not
to interfere in any way with the in
vestigation Of the Department of Jus
tice into alleged third-degree practices
in the Police Department. The bru-
tally inquiry, he explained. is far more
important than the Staples case.
In addition to the appointment Of the
special trial board Of five civilians, there
are indications that the Commissioners
may also create another extraordinary
civilian board to investigate certain
charges in the grand jury report. 1t
was explained that 1t would be an
awkward procedure to have the trial
board make an investigation If 1t is
constituted for the purpose OF trying
one. so it may be necessary to organize
another board to investigate the grand
jurys charges and submit its findings
to the trial board in the event 1t is
found necessary to prefer charges
against some one.
Creation of the second civilian board
has been discussed by the Commission
ers, but definite decision as to whether
it will be necessary has been deferred
until next week. In the meantime
Corporation Council w. ". Bride will
confer with United States Attorney Leo
A. Rover and seek from him informa-
ton which can be used by the Com
..a.ssioners in passing upon the findings
or the grand jury.

CURT|US DEMANDS
SINGLE ARMS RULE
Tells League Winning and
Losing War Nations Should
Have One Standard.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September 12.-Foreign
Minister Julius Curtius of Germany
today warned the League Of Nations
Assembly that the problems of the
world, particularly disarmament, must
be solved in spirit of justice and
equality among nations, both victors
and vanquished.
If the February disarmament con-
ference is to succeed, he said, 1t must
provide that in the future in the
sphere Of limitation Of ornaments there
shall no longer exist side by side
international principles Of justice Of
two different characters, differing &C.
cording to whether they apply to ma
lions defeated in the World War or to
other nations-So that it will no longer
be permissible within the community
of nations to measure with a double
measuring stick"
He called attention to the German
armament tables recently filed with the
League secretariat and said: 'They
show to what extent Germany has
disarmed-no heavy artillery, no
military airplanes, no tanks, no SUD-
marines. They show Germany even
has disarmed below the limit prescribed
for her in the Versailles tret ty."
Points Out Agreement.
Reminding the Assembly that the
victor nations had agreed in 1919 that
'the disarmament of Germany should
pave the way for general disarmament
of other nations" he said.
Twelve years have passed since then
and for five years Germany has be-
longed to the League Of Nations with
out this pledge having been fulhlled.
If now the general Disarmament Con-
ference finally meets it cannot be ex-
pected that the German people will
be content with a legalization Of the
existing armament relationships.
Strong, effective reduction OF arma-
ment Of the strongly armed nations Is
therefore the unalterable condition for
success of the conference"
He said Germany welcomed the
italian proposals for an immediate
armament truce pending the outcome
of the conference in February and that
he heartily agreed with Foreign Min
lister Grandi's statement that peace
full arbitration and disarmament are
together the decisive means for
strengthening security"
Mexico Joins League.
Mexico became a member OF the
League today when the Assembly voted
unanimously to receive the country
las though it had been invited to join
at the beginning"
This formality followed proposal
last week by Alexander LerrouX of
Spain that Mexico be invited to join.
Previously Mexico had indicated that
she would accept such an invitation.
At the time of the formation of the
League, President woodrow Wilson was
not on good terms with the Mexican
government and as consequence Mex
leo was not asked to join the other
nations in organizing the League.
Mexico has been asked to send dele
gates to take their seats in the Assem-
bly, as soon as possible, but opinion is
divided as to whether her representa-
tives will be named to the League
Council on Monday.

problem was taken care of last year,
and it will be met this year, they added.
The federation's report sets out that
the world depression is bringing closer
international cooperation and impress
ing the need of cordial world relations
1t suggested the possible necessity OF
debt revision and the easing Of Ger
many's debt burden.
Employment in industry increased
very slightly from July to the first Of
August, creating some 10000 jobs. but
100000 are still without work." the
report said.
Improvement Seasonal.
THE present slight improvement, :"
the report continued, "is purely sea-
sonal; II unemployment increases at
the usual rate from october to the end
of the year we estimate that there will
be 100000 without work by January.
The only way to prevent this suffering
Is by keeping men at work. Wage cuts
increased in July, but did not reach the
high May level"
Meanwhile, Mr.. clifford named eight
more State representatives for the
Presidents organization, bringing the
total up to 80 States. He said other
State representative appointments are
to follow promptly. Those named today

The State representatives named to-
day are all members Of the Advisory
Committee of the Clifford organization.
The relief director has asked them to
confer as soon as possible with the
Governors of their States on unemploy-
ment distress and to urge, II circum-
stances warrant, the appointment of a
State Committee If none IS in existence.
