PARTY HARMONY
URGED BY FARLEY
Predicts Star of Democracy
Is Rising in Pennsylvania,
in Pittsburgh Speech.
By the Associated Press.


PITTSBURGH, June 3.-Pleading for
party harmony and militant organiza-
tion, Postmaster General James A.
Farley tonight predicted that the star
Of Democracy Is rising in Pennsylvania
long a Gibraltar Of Republicanism.
Addressing a gathering Of more than
1000 Democrats, Farley warned there
should be no spirit Of vendetta growing
out Of rival ambitions for leadership"
if the political converts" gained last
Fall are to be retained in the party's
fold.
Unless these political recruits can
feel that they have joined strong and
united party they may backslide," he
continued.
'They are likely to reason that If the
Democrats quarrel among themselves
they have not gained much in crossing
the line to our side. Politicians may
understand that local squabbles are only
a part of the game, but the majority
of our citizens are not politicians"
Warns Against Division.
After declaring Il do not wish to be
understood as saying or inferring that
the Pennsylvania Democracy is par
ticularly subject to the evils, for there
is hardly a State in which a word of
warning in this regard is not applic-
able" Farley added:
After a victory those mainly respon-
sible for the success have very natural
feeling that they should have all the
glory and other advantages Of the new
position.
Il am not thinking particularly of
appointments to office, though that of
course enters into the situation, for
obviously the recommendations Of
those who worked hardest and most
effectively are entitled to the FIRST call
always assuming, of course, that the
men and women they seek to put into
the Government service are those best
qualified for the positions.
What l am urging on you is that
you avoid thinking there are two or
more kinds Of Democrats and that be-
cause the ambitions of some have run
counter to the ambitions Of others is
no reason for perpetual division"
Must Have Real Candidates.
Farley, chairman OF the Democratic
NhtIOIldl OOHlIIllICte, CduLlCllcQ tIldl
lin view Of the great Democratic come
back in Pennsylvania that is now being
staged, be ultra careful in picking your
local candidates"
Perhaps 1t did not make a great
deal of difference during the period
when Republican victories were in
variable who you picked for the empty
honor of nomination" he said Now
you have a real Democratic party in
the Keystone State and you must have
real candidates to go with the actual
responsibility with which you are en-
dowed
The President has promised and is
delivering new deal nationally. 1t is
up to the Democratic party in Penn
sylvania to see that Pennsylvania is
dealt cards to which it is entitled, for
it seems to me that in the past the
cards have been stacked against you"
The Postmaster General lauded the
Democratic minority in the State Leg
islature for its fight against every
thing selfish and reactionary that has
been advanced in the legislative mill ~

Will Be Examined by u. S.
Grand Jury.
BY the Associated Press.


! NEW YORK. June 3.-Former Mayor
James J. Walkers financial affairs
again are to be subjected to scrutiny
it was learned today-this time by the
| Federal grand jury.
Russell T. Sherwood, who disappeared
81 months ago out Of reluctance to dis
cuss Walkers personal expenditures be-
, fore the Hofstadter Legislative Commit
| tee, is to be questioned by the grand
| jury about the former mayors income
| tax returns.
1t will be the second investigation
into Walkers payments to the Federal
| Government. Hugh McQuillan, chief OF
the intelligence unit of the Internal
Revenue Bureau. studied them when
! the Seabury inquiry was underway and
/ found only a Si00 discrepancy.
Sherwood May Face Arrest.
Sherwood, mystery man of the COM
mittee's investigation into New York
City'S government, may be faced with
arrest by State authorities when he an
swerS a Federal subpoena served on
him last night at his hideaway, East
Orange, N. j., home.
Sheriff Joseph Higgins of New York
County today sought from Federal au-
thoritieS information on whether Sher-
wood, while under Federal subpoena,
could be arrested in connection with
the $50,000 contempt fine imposed on
him by the Supreme Court. Although
1t was not known whether Sherwood
would be immune from arrest, Higgins
indicated he would make every effort
to place him under custody of the
State authorities.
Nature of Questions Unknown.
The accountant, whose hair turned
gray while he remained in seclusion,
reappeared voluntarily. He said he was
anxious to settle a $4,000 income tax
claim and purge himself of the con-
tempt charge, which followed his re-
fusal to testify before the Legislative
Committee
The exact nature of the questions
Sherwood will be required to answer
was not disclosed, but it was indicated
they would deal chiefly with Walkers
income for 1929, 1880 and 1881.
Walker, who resigned while Presi-
dent Roosevelt. then Governor, was
hearing testimony on Conclusions"
drawn against him by Seabury, has re-
fused to comment upon Sherwood's re-
appearance. He is in Europe with his
bride. the former Betty Compton,

FEDERATION VOTES
GAS RATE PROBE
Citizens Order Committee to
Study Charges During
Summer.

The Federation OF Citizens Associa-
tiols last night decided to undertake an
investigation Of gas rates during the
Summer. with a view to ascertaining
definitely If the present rates are IL
legal or excessive or both. The fedora
tion's Public Utilities Committee was
empowered to act for it in making the
investigation while the Summer recess
Is in progress.
In a report on the subject presented
by the Public Utilities Committee, it
was pointed out that by act of Con-
greSs. dated September l. 1916, the
Washington Gas Light Co. was pro-
hibited from charging more than IS
cents per 1000 feet for gas, but that
it nevertheless charges 81 for the first
1000 feet, 80 cents per 1000 for the
next 1000 and IS cents per 1000 for
the excess. (TheSe rates are subject to
q temporary 81 per cent dlscounD.
The report said that in spite Of a
number of rate reductions, number Of
persons claim that in dollars and cents
the consumers are paying more for the
same amount Of gas than In former
pears.
Assessments Discussed.
L. A. Carruthers reiterated his state
ment quoting District Auditor Daniel
J. Donovan as favoring an immediate
reduction of real estate assessments in
the District, a statement which Mr..
Donovan yesterday denied having made.
Several delegates discussed the ques-
ton of a reduction of assessments, but
the discussion was inconclusive.
During the discussion Mr.. Carruthers,
chairman of the federations Law and
Legislation Committee, said the COM
mittee felt that if the present assess
ment levels were right in 1929. they
were wrong now, and should be re-
duced.
Several other delegates joined in this
Pleasant and Henry I. Quinn Of Six
teerth Street Highlands, however, op-
posed any general reduction.
The federation adopted resolutions
recommending appointment of three
full-time members Of the Public Util-
tiles Commission, relieving the Engineer
Commissioner of his duties on that
commission; and supporting the Weide
man bill to take away from local courts
the power to decide questions Of fact
in valuation proceedings Of public util-
6ieS.
Circle Project Opposed.
Another resolution opposed the cut
ting through of Thomas Circle to allow
separation of street car and other
traffic.
A resolution favoring the building of
primary sewage treatment plant, at
an eventual cost Of $4,000,000, stirred
up lively debate, but finally passed by
q vote of 81 to z. Those who were op-
posed based their objection on the ques-
lion of cost.
The federation indorsed the proposed
Senate investigation into the plans for
the Calvert Street Bridge and favored
the 1917 plans for a masonry construc-
ton bridge, rather than the 1888 plans
for a steel arch structure. The report
on this subject of the Highways Com
mittee pointed out that the former
plans had cost but $4,000, as against
$50 900 for the latter plans.
The federation presented William G.
Henderson, a delegate since 1915, with
an easy chair and an engraved resolu-
ton of appreciation of his services.
Vice President Thomas e. Lodge made
the presentation.

ATLANTA, June 3-The neighbors
who have been protesting against the
presence of elephants and tigers and
such in the exclusive Briarcliff road
residential district since Asa G. Gambler
established a private ZOO on his estate
there, carried their complaint to Judge
John B. Hutcheson in De Kalb Superior

The judge took under advisement the
petition of Walter B. McClelland, who
lives just across the street from the
ZOO, for an injunction to prevent Can

public swimming pool recently complet-
ed nearby.
McClelland sought also to prevent the
use of the sewers in the district for
draining the pool and for carrying off
refuse from the animal cages.

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Stars Is times hotter than the sur
are described in a report from the Har-
ward College Observatory just made tc
the National Academy of Sciences here
These are so-called Wolf -Rayet stars
scattered through the heavens. BY re-
Gently developed methods Of spectral
analysis of starlight, according to the
report, some Of them have a minimum
temperature of 100000 degrees cent?
grade on their outer surfaces. The tenn
perature at the surface of the sun is
about 5000 degrees centigrade. The
interior of the sun presumably is much
hotter, possibly running as high as
100000 degrees. but the interior of
one of the Wolf-Rayet stars might be
that much hotter still.
The possibility of estimating the
temperature Of these stars Is due to
recent determination of the spectra of
the ironized atoms Of various elements.
The approximate composition of a star
can be told from the nature and posi-
ton Of the lines in its spectrum. Some
of the lines in the Wolf-Rayet spectra,
however, could not be checked with any
elements known on earth. But it has
been found that an atom with one or
more of its outer electrons stripped off
or ironized-gives different lines than
the intact atom Of the same element.
Some Contained Carbon.
With the application Of these new re-
searches it was possible to identify the
mysterious Wolf-Rayet lines with spec
ira OF familiar elements in their ion
lied forms. The stars were found to
consist chiefly Of hydrogen, helium, nj
trogen, carbon, oxygen and silicon. But
in some cases as many as five OF the
outer electrons were missing. This
indicated tremendous heat-at least
100000 degrees in some cases.
A curious feature was that some OF
these stars contained large amounts OF
the element carbon in various ionized
forms, while others contained none at
all. The report on this research was
made by Cecilia H. Payne, assistant to
DR.. Harlow Shapley, director of the
Harvard Observatory.
Some light on the chronology Of the
great prehistoric racial migrations by
which continents were peopled is found
in the distribution Of blood types, ac-
cording to a report to the National
Academy from Dr. William w. Howells
