u. s. RELAxEs VIGILANCE.
Hull Too Busy With Economic Parleys
to Watch Far East.

By the Associated Press.
The State Department was described
today by Secretary Hull as concentrat-
ing so intensely upon its world economic
conversations that it is giving little at
tention to developments in the Far East
where the possibility of Russo-Japan-
csc clash is indicated.
The Secretary was asked concerning
American reports of plans in connection:
with reports that the Japanese were
hurrying troops northward with the ap-
parent objective Of taking the Chinese
Eastern Railway from Russia
He replied that he considered the eco
nomic recovery of the world so all i'm
portant and vital that he is devoting his
paramount effort to that phase and as
he put it is not going out OF his way to
emphasize other occurrences.

The House Judiciary Committee prob

George Crawford, colored. wanted in
Middleburg, Va, for the murder there
in January. 1882, of Mrs Spencer usley
and her maid, Nina Buckner.
Although no plans have been made
Chairman Summers of the judiciary
Committee said he would call the mem
bers together in few days to arrange
for the inquiry.
Smith Resolution Adopted.
The investigation was ordered by the
House yesterday in adoption. 20S to
$50. of a resolution by Representative
Smith. Democrat, OF Virginia, which
directs the Judiciary Committee to
determine whether Judge Powell COM
mitted any high crime or misdemeanor
in releasing Crawford.
Chairman Summers said It was not
the intention of the committee to pro-
coed with 'precipitous haste"
Our first duty" he declared. will
be to determine the facts as to what
actually happened. Up to the present.
there doesn't seem to be any great con-
troversy over the facts
The resolution authorizes an appro-
priation of $1,000 to defray the cost of
the investigation In asking for the
appropriation, Smith thought it might
be necessary for the Investigating Com
mittee to make trip to Boston.
Chairman Summers. however. said 1t Is
possible the committee will not have to
leave the District.
Says Office Violated.
Smith introduced his resolution after
rising to a question of constitutional
privilege on the floor of the House and
impeaching Judge Lowell on his own
responsibility In seven articles of i'm
parchment, Smith charged the Boston
jurist with deliberately and willfully
releasing Crawford in direct contraven-
ton of the Constitution and had thereby
violated his oath Of Office and abused
his power.
Judge Lowell was defended by Repre-
sentative Luce, Republican. of Massa-
chusetts. He said the jurist was his
constituent and personal friend and that
he was held in the highest regard by
those who know him

tcopyrisht. 1882. by the Associated Press)
NEW YORK, April 27-Commerce
and industry in the past month have
experienced one Of the most striking
revivals OF recent years.
Sharp percentage gains reflect. OF
course, the rebound from the extremely
low levels of the March banking crisis.
Nevertheless, some lines are approach
ing, or have actually crossed. the levels
of this period last year. Much of the
Improvement has been against normal
seasonal trends.
Automobile production for April &C
cording to present indications, may
show a gain over April last year After
falling to some 10000 cars and trucks
in March, the swift quickening in out
put this month. according to trade au-
thorities, should carry 1t above the
las, 800 produced in April, 1882.
Steel Production Rises.
Steel production has risen to the best
levels in more than . year. Operations
are estimated by Iron Age for this
week at rs per cent of capacity. The
average for April last year was just
under that, and for the full month OF
last March, less than 16 per cent. Steel
production usually reaches its seasonal
peak in March.
Freight car loadings have gained
steadily in April. contrary to the sea
sonal trend The average thus far
this month has been 100000 cars,
against 400 900 in March and 5000
in February.
Last weeks production of electric
power in the United States, as estimated
by the Edison Electric Institute, was
only 26 per cent under the like week
of last year, the smallest such diverg-
ence in 81 months. 1t was up 1.6 per
cent over the previous week, although
the normal trend for the season Is
downward The figures indicated q
pronounced increase in the use Of in
dustrial power.
Retail Trade Better.
Latest mercantile reviews report q
sustained volume Of retail trade. The
usual pronounced slump after Easter
seems to have failed to materiahze.
With domestic copper prices rising
from So. cents q pound to 6lz. one OF
the largest producers reports the big
eest sales in more than year. Scrap
steel prices at Pittsburgh have advanced
from an average Of $7.13 a ton on
March 80 to So So and the steel trade Is
talking Of higher prices for finished
materials.

Advice to the Love|orn

DiSapprOves of Her Friends
Dear Miss Fairfax:
The boy I like is three years
older than am, and acts as
an usher in a neighborhood
theater. He claims the friends
with whom I go make too much
noise, and are not good enough
for me. Lately he has asked me
to give them up.
Do you think I should give up
my friends for him? I am going
to a party and invited him as
my escort, but he said he
couldn't go on account of his
home work. Do you think this
is just an excuse, or would you
believe him? V. F..
How about it, sister-are the
young people with whom you
go in the neighborhood theater
really noisy and not well-be-
haved? If so, think the young
man has your best interests at
heart. And if he goes to school
and acts as usher in a theater,
he must have some time for

Washington Fashions
By Wilma LaVille

There's not much agreement
about skirt lengths this spring,
but once in a while a woman
seems perplexed about her own
particular clothes and their
lengths, so perhaps it's we'll to
review the situation. 1t just
happens that we've received
two different reports of skirt
lengths in Paris, both of which
agree, and we can quote from
them, as we'll as give the Amer
ican verdict. We are depend
ing more and more on our own
designers, following Paris less
and less, yet it is still fashion
center, and it's always interest
ing to note what they're doing
over there.
Opinions Varied
1t seems that Vionnet is max
ing her skirts for the average
woman nine or 10 inches from
the ground, and Schiaparelli, on
the other hand, who caters to
very young clientele, makes hers
as short as IL inches. All the
others are somewhere in be-
tween those two lengths. That
applies to street clothes and in
formal afternoon things, both
of which are worn to the races
in France, where most fashion
trends are established and OBJ
served. A good average is II
inches, for a woman of aver
age height, for, of course, you
must consider your own height
and figure, even more than you
should consider the prevailing
fashion. There has been quite
a bit of talk about ankle-length
skirts for street, but they are so
far in the majority that they
needn't be considered.
Eleven on Average
The fashion picture in Amer
lea is very much the same.
You'll see most women with
skirts about II inches, with a
few as long as 10. on the

Secrets Of Health
By DR.. Louis A. Risch
Famous Authority Health and Psychology

Paralysis agitans," which
may be looked upon as a kind
of premature senility, is rare
before 40. After that it is really
more common than one might
think. Unfortunately, this dis
ease is progressive and chronic,
because it is a disorder of the
organic nervous system.
Three striking symptoms are
to be noted in all cases. These
are tremor, muscular rigidity
and muscular weakness.
Most of the cases develop be-
tween the ages of so and 10
and, as a rule, the symptoms
are slow to reveal themselves.
Occasionally an exceptional case
appears in which, after a fright,
injury or shock, the disease ap-
pears suddenly and makes head
way quickly.
Once the disorder is fully de-
veloped, the patients present a
typical picture in the way they
look and in their manner of
walking.
The tremor already referred
to is usually most noticeable in
the hands, and is of a distinct
type that might be described as
a fine shaking" That is, the
hands shake only slightly, but
rapidly. Instead, there may be
in some cases a more or less
constant movement of the
thumb and forefinger, which act
in a way that suggests the roll
ing of a pill. Sooner or later,
however, the legs become af.
fected also, and occasionally
the tremor is most marked at
the ankles. When the tremor
includes the head, the motion
is up and down in a vertical
plane, not from side to side.
Muscular rigidity, the second
outstanding symptom, is shown
by stiffness of the neck; SOME,
times stiffness of the muscles of
the back, in addition. This
causes the patient to be awk-
ward in all his movements.
Not only are all muscular
movements slow; they likewise
reveal marked weakness. Even
the act of standing may be-
come difficult. Usually the
weakness is greatest in those
