GOODS DANCE
IN CHURCH

CHICAGO, Feb. 20 (IN.s0.
Sixteen young goods clad in
simple Grecian robes praising the
Lord with pageantry and choral
dancing to the measured rhythms
of ecclesiastical music dating
back to the beginnings Of the
Russian Orthodox Church.
Some 1000 Sunday worshippers
in the ultra-modern $1,500,000
Rockefeller chapel at the Univer-
sity of Chicago yesterday were
treated to this reenactment Of
the stately professional dances
a relic of the middle ages.
The chants which the dancing
goods were interpreting were sung
by the chapel choir.
The service, it is said, has its
only parallel in the United
States in the liturgical dancing
at st. Marks-in-the-Bouwerie, New
York. It was pointed out that a
minuet is still danced on Good
Friday in the cathedral at Seville.
and that number of forms of
religious worship had their be-
ginning in stately, interpretive
dance.

8 CHILDREN DIE
AS 3 ARE SAVED

NEW YORK, Feb. 20 G.N.SD.
Balmy, spring-1ike weather today
was the bearer of tragedy to three
New York homes and Of joy to
three in New Jersey.
Crying pitifully for aid, three
boys died in the Bronx River
yesterday afternoon when ice,
melted by the warm sun, gave
way under them as they played
on the partly frozen stream. The
victims were Anthony Pharoe. IL.
Ralph Mazzacca, II, and Frank
Geannara, jr., II.
Anthony Borelli, IA, who was
playing with them, was rescued.
Almost at the same time three
children were heroically rescued
from the Morris Canal in Jersey
City after crashing through
thin coating of ice.
The three rescued were Vincent
Finck, g. of Waldwick, N. j.;
Maria Finck, S, his cousin, and
Andrew Buchanan, z. They were
hauled from the canal by Frank
Cont, 80, Charles Sova, and John
Miller.

NATTERN, P POST
PLAN SEAHOP

NEW YORK. Feb. 20 G.N.s0.
The transatlantic flight season is
about ready to open.
Two planes were being groomed
at Floyd Bennett airport today
for long distance hops, and about
one of them hung an air of
mystery.
That plane, a Lockheed-Vega,
will be piloted by Wiley Post on
a projected jump over the Allan
tic. Interest centerd around it by
reason of reports a robot" pilot
was being installed in the ship to
make it possible for Post to fly
alone if he desires and overcome
fatigue by catching a nap while
the robot" handles the controls.
Neither Post, who last flew
around the world with Harold
Gatty, nor airport officials would
confirm the report.
The second ship, also a Lock
heed, was being tuned up for
James Mattern, who plans a long
distance flight involving an ocean
jump. Mattern, who with Ben
nett Griffin last year beat the
ost-Gatty time for crossing the
Atlantic. but cracked up in Rus
sia on a projected globe girdling
flight, plans to test his ship by
a flight to Texas next Thursday.

MICHIGAN L|F IS:
BANK PRESSURE.

DETROIT, Feb. 2o.-Further
relief from the pressure Of the
Statewide bank holiday was
awaited by Michigan today as
Gov. William A. Comstock pre-
pared to issue supplementary
proclamation modifying his or
iginal moratorium edict.
The State today was virtually
without the service of banks. Gov
ernor Comstock last Tuesday
morning ordered the eight-day
holiday to save the Union Guar
dian Trust Company of Detroit
from threatened failure.
According to advices from Lam
sing, the governors supplemental
edict was expected to tighten the
pressure of the moratorium with
the following recommendations: =
/. That whenever practicable, =
banks increase the percentage
of money released to depositors.
2. That payroll checks be
cashed. .
8. That small merchants be
allowed to withdraw enough to
assure continued operation Of
their stores.
4. That upstate banks be al
lowed to withdraw at least part
of the reserves they have tied
up in the huge Detroit institu'
tions.
5. That new deposits be ac-
cepted and segregated.

IMPOSSIBLE
Family Receives Hundreds Of
"Crank" Letters Besides
Genuine Note

DENVER, Feb. 20 GNS).
Frantic search for Charles
Boettcher I'd, wealthy kidnapped
Denver broker, was pushed today
when it was announced that the
missing millionaire was known to
be alive and that his father,
Claude K. Boettcher, had been in
communication with the kid
naperS.
The father issued the first state
ment since young Boettcher was
whisked away from in front of
his palatial home more than a
week ago after one Of his
abductors thrust a note into the
hands of Boettcher's beautiful
young wife demanding 100000
ransom!
Get Hundreds of Letters
Letters from the supposed kid
napers were received several days
ago, the father said.
The father, in a formal state
ment, said:
Il have received many ran
som nOtes-thrOugh the mail
and Otherwise-mOst of them
obviously spurious. Some of
the notes received, however, I
am convinced by certain in.
closures, among other things,
came from the persons who
have my son in custody.
The contents of these notes
/ have not divulged to the pO.
lice or the press. The cOndi-
tiOns and methods Of payment
of ransom contained in these
notes were such that they can
not under any circumstances
be carried out. Furthermore,
no assurance was given Of the
safe return of my son when the
ransom was paid.
LETTER GOES ASTRAY
81 did leave q letter for the
abductOrS at point where I
had reason to believe they
would receive it without any
police interference. Apparently
the letter never reached the
parties for whom it was i'm.
tended. In BRIEF. I stated in
this letter that was, and had
been from the outset, ready
and willing to negotiate, but
only on condition / could be
assured of the safe return of
my son when the ransom was
paid.
81 further asked the abduc.
tors to establish a contact with
some responsible intermediary
for the return Of my son and
the payment of the ransom
and again with the assurance
Of no police interference, and

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 20 Q.N.S0.
Trouble is brewing in Cuba-seri-
Gus trouble that inevitably, it is
believed, will compel some form
of American intervention, peace
able or otherwise.
It may break out at any time,
but probably not before the in
coming administration of Franklin
D. Roosevelt has had an oppor-
tunity to reveal whether it takes
American responsibilities under
the Platt amendment any more
seriously than has the Coolidge
and Hoover administrations.
This amendment, adopted and
made a part of the Cuban con-
stitution in 1901, gives the United
States the right to intervene in
Cuban affairs at any time "for
the preservation of Cuban inde-
pendence and to maintain
government capable of protecting
life, property and individual
liberty"
Root Interpretation
Elihu Root later interpreted
this language as not giving the
United States power to Inter.
NEEDLE" in Cuba'S domestic
affairs, and varying washington
administrations have followed the
Root Interpretation more or less
as they chose.
There is no doubt whatever
that the government of President
Machado is not preserving Cuban
life. property, or individual
liberty-particularly liberty.
MachadO Has Upper Hand
On the contrary, constitutional
guarantees have been suspended,
strict censorship of the press i'm
posed, the National University
and high schools closed, the right
of free asemblage and free speech
forbidden - and the accompani-
ment of all this has been ter
roriStic subterranean warfare be-
tween the Machado government
and the opposition in which
scores on both sides have been

WILLIS LET'S COPPER CAT
OUT OF BAG

No stronger presentation Of
the dire needs Of Arizona and
the other copper prod ucing
states, for a higher tariff on for
eign copper has yet been present
ed by any recognized authority,
than that of Charles F. Willis.
editor of the Mining Journal. In
his last copper market review,
as published in the daily news
papers and carried by the Asso
ciated Press, in his Introductory
remarks, Willis said:
"As was to be expected, cop
per discussion has been injected
into the discussions at the Lon.
don conference. The aim seems
to be world regulation, which is
device on the part of foreign
copper producers to throw the
greatest copper market in the
world, the United States. open to
them.
10 lOISi&u II plOO OuSCl Nou
not begin to find a market for
their product abroad and the f.
cent tariff helps to make the Am
erican market difficult for them
The indications are that the cop
per producing countries may
seek concessions on copper 10
exchange for some action in
silver"
Thus it is that Willis. a re.
cognized independent copper au
thority. who owns no foreign
mines, who is not interested in
fabrication plants. warns that
any London conference on cop
per will be detrimental to the
copper mining industry of Ari
zona and other copper producing
states. Any such conference
held will, as be points out,
merely be clumsy effort to
open up the American market
for cheap foreign copper.
