To SAVE MAN

One of Washington's two fire
department rescue squads early
today was waging heroic battle
to save the life of Louis Roman,
SO, of the TOO block of Princeton
Pl. N. w.
Fire Rescue Squad No. 2 was
first called to Romans home Mon
day morning after he suffered a
heart attack. Oxygen obtained
from Gallinger Hospital was ad-
ministered for six hours and his
condition improved.
Yesterday afternoon Roman
had a relapse and again the
squad sped to the home. All last
night oxygen was being admin
istered at intervals and the fire
men stood by today.
Lieut.. w. H. Fidler was in
charge of the squad last night.
Lieutenant Fidler brought his
men to Romans assistance at the
request of the latter's physician,
DR., Leon S. Gordon.

Eddie Mcconnell, who drove
Gen. BLACK Jack" Pershing over
the Shell-torn roads of France in
1918, has begun another race.
But this time it is probably
more dramatic and with the
stakes just as high as back in
the days when the big guns
roared and the skies and fields
were red on the Western Front.
For Eddie is staging a race
with death!
Today at the age of 81, his
lungs scared from poisonous gas,
Eddie is at the crossroads of life.
Unable to find work, and grow
ing weaker each day, the former
chauffeur doughboy is going to
the dry climate of Arizona. Or,
at least, that's what he wants to
do, so he might have his wife
and two small children with him
as long as possible. Eddie said:
1--WE got to find a way out
there somehow, and now I'm
making public appeal. 1

TBOOK MISSING FROM HIS BODY, BROTHERS SAY
Italian Sailors
Use Lanterns
800 Years Old

BALTIMORE, Aug. 9.-B o t h
the beginning and the end of a
century of progress have been il
lustrated by the visit of two groups
of sailors from Italy-Gen. Italo
Balbo and his sky cruisers, and
now the sailing ships Amerigo
Vespuccis and Cristofo Colombo
tied up here with crews of mid
Shipmen.
The sailing vessels carry liant
ernS used on ships in Genoa and
Venice 300 years or more ago,
whereas General Balbo's airplaneS
represented the latest in all avia-
ton development.
1t took the sailing ships a total
of 40 days to cross the Atlantic,
whereas it took the planes hardly
more hours in the air. The ships
tied up in the harbor have at
least one thing born of the Twen-
tieth Century, though-jazz bands.

LANG RELEASED
AFTER PROBE
Of DEATH
Brothers of Car Victim Con-
tend Killing Was No Acct
dent Despite Verdict

Although the death of Wilmer
Lee Jet, who was struck the night
Of July 81 by a Glen Echo street
car, has been labeled accidental
by Montgomery county police
after four hours of questioning Of
persons who had seen him shortly
before he was struck by the car,
his two brothers are not satisfied
with the verdict.
Earl Jet, 27 of the $500 block
Warder St. N. w.. and Charles
C. Jett, 80, of the 100 block
Irving st. N. W., said they can
not believe their brother stumbled
onto the car track and was killed
by the oncoming car.
POcketbOOk Missing
They declared they realized
that the State hasn't enough evi-
dence to make any strong case of
murder, but that there are several
things they would like to have
cleared up. They are particularly
anxious to know what happened
to his pocketbook, which they
said he always carried in his
back pocket.
Lang Changes Story
Lang, host at the party which
preceded Jett's death. was ar
rested several days ago by county
police. He denied Jett's presence
at the party at first and refused
to make any kind of an explana-
tion of happenings to police. His
silence was caused by his desire
to protect women guests at his
party, he said.
When the women were rounded
up by police, Lang admitted hav-
ing a fight with Jet. He said
Jett had been drinking and had
attempted to make trouble. He
was leading him towards the car
line when Jett struck him twice,
he said, and he returned one Of
the blows and left him dazed.
Host Is Released
While Lang led his guests to
Stop %, to avoid meeting Jett,
police believe Jett climbed up the
bank instead of the steps leading
to the track and, dazed from the
blow, stumbled across a rail. hit
ting his head against the other
rail where he lay until the street
car hit him. Lang was ordered
released by States Attorney Sted-
man Prescott. .-
Although the motorman of the
Car said the body was covered with
newspapers, police say none of the
papers we're torn. although the
wheels of the car car tore his
clothing in many places. Papers
were found nearby.

"After all, hypnosis merely is
the Greek word for sleep. 1t is
comparatively easy to place

ly the exercise of the PERSONAL

under the proper surroundings.
"TO hypnotic a person you
must first gain his confidence.

OPENING OF GATES
TO AS|AHCS FOUGHT
Joint immigration Body in
California Vigorously 0p-
posed to Change.
by the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
I SAN FRANCISCO, November is up.
The California Joint immigration
COMMITTEE issued statement yester-
day opposing opening of immigration
gates to Asiatics" as suggested by the
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce
and the California Council of Oriental
Relations.
The statement says such action would
be a sacrifice Of American interests, con-
tinuing:
I'VE scrapped our Navy; we paid the
war expenses of Europe; and are now
asked to pay for the outlay she has
made since the war in monstrous new
war preparations; we have accepted for
permanent settlement and citizenship
during the past 80 years many undesir-
able elements Of European immigra-
.tion; we opened the gates wide to the
entrance Of 100000 unassimilable
Mexican poems at the demand of en-
ployerS of cheap labor and as friendly
gesture TO neighbor.'
s I'VE have by such policy contributed
to unemployment in the United States.
We have made thereby immeasureably
greater the task which President Frank
liz D RooSe velt faces at home and
abroad. And We now are asked to open
our gates to Asiatic immigration to
avoid the Gispleasure of Japan.
Japan very wisely excludes Chinese
immigration under imperial ordinance
No. 352 though in 1924 China made her
seventh protest threat, calling attention
to Japan's inconsistency in enforcing
such exclusion while demanding en-
trance for japanese immigration into
the United StaJes."
The Joint immigration Committee
represents the California Department of
the American Legion, State Federation
of Labor and the Native Sons of the
Golden West.

DRIVE.
BEGUN BY CHINESE.
Government and Chambers of
Commerce Adopt Trade
Slogan in Orient.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI.-"Buy Chinese" is the
slogan being held up before the Chinese
public by the nations government and
Chambers of Commerce in an effort to
boost home industry.
Chinese products for Chinese and
mainsprings In drive which, it is
hoped, will strengthen Chinese industry
in all lines. Three hundred and fifty
Chinese business leaders launched the
movement in Shanghai, and similar
drives are being conducted in other
parts of the country.
The government at Nanking Is sold
on the idea that China's industrial re-
sources must be developed. 1t is felt
the nation cannot occupy strong place
in the family of nations until it is
strong and independent industrially
and commercially. Also the govern
mellt believes the country's domestic
affairs, especially political and social,
cannot be brought to the desired higher
standards until the nations business is
going well and the people are secure
and prosperous. The drive for develop
ment of home industries is a step in
that direction.
Under government direction, stores are
being opened where all sorts of Chi
nese products are sold. Shanghai has
several. They are large, attractively
fitted out and are doing a heavy busi-
ress in native products. The same is
true of other cities and towns through
out the country.
The government also is taking steps
to directly assist the faltering industries
Of the country, such as tea, silk, porce-
lain and others. Subsidies are being
granted to reinvigorate these industries
and restore them to their former levels
It is hoped these industries will not only
again serve heavy domestic demand,
but regain their now lost export busi-
ness.
