One of Largest Operators
to Provide 0ff-Street
Terminal.
STRUCTURE is PLANNED
TO UNITE COMPANIES
August l Is Deadline for Removal
Of Loading and Unloading
Points to Private Sites.

One Of the largest interstate motor
bus lines operating into Washington
gave the Public Utilities Commission
oennite assurance today that it would
provide and occupy an off-street ter
mlnal by August !, the date fixed for
removal from the congeSted area Of all
curbStone terminals on the interstate
lines
The company operating the line did
not disclose the location selected for its
terminal, nor did it indicate whether
1t would be run exclusively for its own
lines. Commission attaches. however,
believe the site chosen is near the heart
OF the business section.
May Build Terminal.
1t also was revealed at the commits
sion that definite steps have been taken
by real estate firm in the District to
erect building in the vicinity of Union
Station where terminal facilities would
be provided for interstate buses. Sew
eral large bus operators, it was said,
have agreed tentatively to use the
building as union terminal
The commission has shown every in
dication of enforcing strictly its order
forbidding the loading and unloading
OF passengers on public property in the
congeSted zone after August /, and the
Interstate operators, it was said, have
likewise indicated a desire to cooperate
by finding off-street terminal facilities
by that date. Thus far, however, only
one company has informed the COM
mission that it has a site and proposes
to go ahead and provide off street ter
minal facilities without delay.
Abolishes Curb Terminals.
The commissions order is designed to
abolish the curbstone terminals over a
large area In the business section
bounded generally by Constitution
avenue on the south, L street on the
north, Fourth street on the east and
Eighteenth street on the west. Buses
which do not provide private terminal
space by the effective date of the order
will be required to load and unload
passengers far from the business sec
ton, plan which the bus operators
desire to avoid.
There were intimations at one time
the bus operators might attempt to
defeat the commissions move by legal
action, but prominent Washington
lawyer, retained by several Of the COM
panies for an opinion, is said to have
advised them that the order of the
commission likely would be upheld by
the courts.

Jivaro concept, make the dispossessed
soul obey his orders.
Soon after making contact with these
Indians Stirling was invited to par
ticipate in a head-hunting raid, but
declined the offer. He found the head
hunters a friendly people.
Men Do Weaving.
Among the curious customs of the
Jivaros, he found, was that of weaving
and laundering among the men. This
appears to be almost strictly a mascu-
line occupation, in striking contrast to
the rule among almost all other peo-
Piles. The men weave skirts of cotton.
and so careful is the workmanship that
many months sometimes are required
to complete one garment The men
wear nothing else and they wash their
skirts twice daily. Women wear skirts
and blouses. One blouse is the price
of wife.
Stirling describes the Jivaros as well
built, slightly over feet inches tall
and wearing long, black hair The hair
OF the men is permanently waved. Both
men and women paint their faces.
When not spinning or weaving the men
hunt with poison darts, which they
shoot from blowguns, or raid neighbor-
ing tribes. using lances and muzzle-
loading rifles.

PRIVATE RITES HELD
FOR SLAIN GAMBLE
Only Relatives and Close Friends
Allowed at Funeral for
Milton W. Henry.

private funeral service from which
all but close friends and relatives were
excluded was held this morning for
Milton W. (Milsie) Henry, while police
continued what appeared futile quest
for the two gunmen who murdered the
gambler early Thursday
Newspaper men and others not known
to Henry's intimateS were denied ad-
mittance while conventional rites were
held in funeral parlor at 2901 Four
teenth street.
Only the slain gamblers widow, Mrs.
Regina Henry, and few intimates
were present at the rites, it was said.
Burial, in Baltimore, was to be private.
Meanwhile, the full force of the homi-
eide squad, under Sergt. H. x. Wilson,
is concentrated on the task of running
down clues in the killing.
Numerous leads have been found
worthless since a gunman tiptoed to
Henrys side as he sat in his open road
Ster half a block from his home, at
1920 Sixteenth street, and poured five
charges from sawed-off shotgun into
his body.
No word as yet has come from De-
tective Sergt. Frank o. Brass, who left
yesterday on hurried trip to Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey to work on
angles of the Henry case"

PLUMBER IS HELD
IN Z GAS DEATHS
HoIbrook Street Residents
Move to Rectify Any
Faulty Connections.

With the plumbing contractor who
installed the gas water heater in the
house at 1908 Holbrook street northeast
where man and wife died Saturday
as result of carbon monoxide poison
held for grand jury action, other resi-
dents of the block today took action to
rectify any faulty connections similar
to the one which is said to have caused
the two deaths.
Immediately after the fatalities an
inspector from the Washington Gas
Light Co., accompanied by members OF
the District plumbing inspectors force,
looked at the f1ue connections in the
other houses in the block, and warned
residents not to use their water heaters
until the connections had been repaired
They told them of the repairs neces-
sary, and proper steps to take.
The victims-Mr. and Mrs. Paul Gray
are said to have died as a result oi
improper connection of the vent pipe
which carries carbon monoxide fumes
away from the flame of the heater tc
the chimney f1ue.
Eugene Casey, plumbing contractor
was ordered held for the grand jury
yesterday, following coroner'S inquest
into the deaths. Mr. and Mrs Gray
were discovered dead inside their home
after failing to appear at work.
At the inquest both Casey and Clar.
ence Gosnell, general contractor on the
Holbrook street job, said they were
not required to punch the necessary
vent hole in the terra Gotta f1ue lining
Gosnell said 1t was not general prac-
tice for builders to make the hole, al
though they often leave an opening
through the masonry to the outside OF
the f1ue lining.
Samuel Taop, plumbing inspector
said his Office made visual inspec-
ton" of installations but was not au-
thorized to tear down the work of
plumbers. He said the work on Hol-
brook street was approved at a final
inspection. The plumbing inspectors,
he said, had right to assume" that
since the vent pipe was In the hole in
the chimney, 1t was connected to the
flue
A coroner's jury took similar action
on November 10, last year, when Charles
Broome, GA F street northeast, a
plumbing contractor, was held for a
grand jury in the death Of an infant,
Frances Daniels, 1915 Seventeenth
place northeast, under almost parallel
circumstances. The grand jury, how
ever, refused to indict Broome.
Mrs. Mary Cohen, IS, and her two
children-Simone, IL, and Daniel, 7
narrowly escaped death last night
when partially overcome by carbon
monoxide gas at their home, el5
street.
Mrs. Cohen was doing her house
hold chores when she noticed the
effects of the gas and went to arouse
her daughter. She weakened and
fell, however, and the daughter was
similarly affected when she tried to
assist her mother.
The boy, although affected by the
fumes, was able to make his way to the
front door and summon aid. The
Fire Rescue Squad arrived quickly and
revived the three. The woman and
her two children were removed tc
Emergency Hospital for further at
tention.
Firemen said gas escaping from a
leaky jet in water heater caused
them to be overcome.

SCIENTIST RETURNS TOMORROW
FROM VISIT TO T1EAD-HUNTERS
Mathew W. Stirling Spent
Two Months Among
Jivaro Indians.
Recovery Of Woman Once
Saved Life of Smithso-
nian EthnoIogiSt.

Mathew w. Stirling, chief Of the
bureau Of American ethnology of the
Smithsonian Institution, is expected in
Washington tomorrow after two months
in the largely unexplored country of
the head-hunting -Jivaro Indians of
Perua and Ecuador.
Mr.. Stirling has made extensive COL
lectionS among these Indians for the
National Museum and has made an
intensive study of their customs. At
one time it was reported that Mr..
Stirling was himselh amcng the victims
OF these savages, but the Smithsonian
Institution was able to get in touch
with him and he cab,ed at once that
the reports Of his having lost his head
were greatly exaggerated"
Arriving in New York yesterday, ac-
cording to an Associated Press dispatch,
Mr.. Stirling revealed the basis for this
rumor.
Woman Recovered.
I'VE were staying in one of the
Jivaro community houses, which are 80
to 100 feet long, 40 to so feet wide,
and 80 feet high" he said. I'VE slept
on strip bamboo beds. At midnight a
chief arose, shouting and waving his
lance. We soon learned that one of
our carriers was medicine man. A
woman among our hosts was sick and
the medicine man was accused Of
making her sick. He was threatened
with death if she died To save him
self he blamed US. Fortunately the
woman recovered"
The art by which these Indians Is
best known is that of shrinking and
preserving the heads of their enemies.
Head-hunting is conducted by tribal
groups, the object being to keep control
over the spirits of the dead in the other
world. The living man with the head
Of an enemy can, according to the

decreasing temperature. The explana-
ton of this remarkable fact is almost
certain to be found in the size Of the
stars, increasing size more than coun-
teracting the effect Of decreased radia-
ton"
The first electric motor and the first
telegraph were shown in action at the
Joseph Henry memorial meeting of the
National Academy last night.
The session was an observance of the
Tooth anniversary of the electrical dis
coveries of the first secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, which, the
speakers emphasized. are basic in prac-
tiCally all the electrical contrivances
now in use. That Henry produced the
first workable telegraph between his
laboratory at Princeton University and
his house was stressed by both Prof. W
F. Magic Of Princeton and Bancroft
Gherardi, chief engineer of the Ameri-
can Telephone & Telegraph Co. They
also cited evidence that more than rs
years ago he observed effects of cleo
trical induction over considerable dis
tanceS without wire connection and in
terpreted them in way which entities
hlm to consideration as the father OF
present-day radio communication. He
thought that the effect might extend
for "a half mile or more"
Carried Big Burden.
Both speakers stressed the extreme
difficulties under which he worked. with
a great burden of teaching and admin
istrative duty which left him only linn
ited time for experimentation. his pow
erty during his earlier life, which made
! even the purchase of materials for the
construction of a battery almost pro-
hibitive for him, and his reluctance tC
publish his results or to apply for pat
ents Some of his most important con-
| tributions, 1t was brought out, can bt
attributed to him today only because Of
lecture notes retained and afterwarc
published by some Of his students al
