WOMAN TELLS
Of DR., OSLER

DR.. Maude E. Abbott, celebrated
woman doctor of Montreal. came
to Washington today as special
guest of the District of Columbia
Medical Society to tell the mem
bers in session here her personal
"reminiscences of DR.. Osler, the
physician who is reputed to have
said that all men should be chlor-
oformed after they reach go years
of age.
OF course, DR.. Osler never said
anything of the kind-so DR..
Abbott ayers; but that is another
story.
What DR.. Abbott had to tell
was of more serious nature. She
told of Dr.. Osler's great contribu-
ton to medica! knowledge of
heart disease, and she spoke from
the book since she had been asso-
ciated with this great physician
for many years.
At the afternoon session Of the
annual meeting, which comes to a
close today, several important
papers were presented. Those who
read them were DR.. Charles Stan
ley White, DR.. Oswald F. Hedley,
DR.. Joseph Horgan and DR.. Ed

UNPAID OL|CE,
TEACHERS RIOT

CHICAGO, April 26 GN.S0.
Hand-to-hand fighting between
unpaid school teachers and police
men, also unpaid, marked a dem
onstration staged by teachers in
the Loop today.
Two policemen welded their
night club and others exchanged
blows as the teachers, $500
strong, broke into the Title and
Trust Company offices. At least
five women teachers tainted in
the fighting and were carried out.
Policemen lost their caps, and
the uniforms of several were torn.
The riot came as city officials
and school board members met
to pass on a proposal to close
the schools for the rest of the
summer. Mayor Edward j. Kelly
declared he was against closing
the schools and would try to pre-
vent the action.
The teachers assembled on
Michigan Boulevard and then
marched on the Title and Trust
Company offices. They held up
traffic as they swarmed into the
building and crashed into the ex-
ecutive offices on the second floor.
late glass windows were smashed.

Lincoln Estate
Debt Paid By
SOutherner

DETROIT, April 26 G.N.S).
A son of the old South today
had paid a debt which the es-
tate of Abraham Lincoln has
owed since 1865.
Hubert L. Williams, autonlo-
bile engineer, whose fathers
wore Confederate gray, re-
vealed he had sent a check for
$5.45 to the clerk of the probate
court at Springfield, Ill. The
sum represented costs owed the
court since the Lincoln estate
was settled.
The clerk recently appealed
for someone to pay it so the
record could be closed. Said
Williams:
81 read about it in a st.
Louis paper last week and
knew no Yankee would ever
part with that much money.
So just to show there's no hard

North had to take in the Civil

No one has mentioned prohi.

Preparing late yesterday for her
departure, Ishbel said she had

American people. When she was

nothing else was discussed.
Ishbel, herself, is not prohi-
bitionist although she does not
drink.
The depression. she said in
leaving, will be good for the ma.

EYE OUT, VASK0.
CHILD RESTS

NEW YORK, April 26 GN.SO.
Fate took over the feud today
between science and parental love
in the case of two-year-old Helen
Vasko.
The child, her diseased left eye
removed through an operation Or
dered by the courts. was resting
comfortably at the Columbia
medical center and given an even
chance to live.
The foreign-born parents had
fought until the end against the
operation, to retain the unblen1'
ished beauty of their child.
The operation was performed
by DR.. John H. Huntington, as
sistant to DR.. John M. Wheeler,
who removed a cataract from the
eye of the King of Siam.
Although the operation was a
success, the delay may have
caused the disease to advance too
far for recovery. The verdict Of
life or death will be returned
within a week or 10 days.

ON VISIT
To MISS VALID,
OLD FRIEND
Miss Macdonald on Holiday
Drives From New York
To West Port, Conn.

WEST PORT, Conn, April 26
Q.N.SJ Miss Ishbel Macdonald,
daughter of the British Primo
Ministe", came here by automo-
bile from New York shortly be-
fore noon today for a brief visit
with Miss Lillian Valid, noted
social worker, philanthropist and
founder of the Henry Street Set
tlement in New York.
Miss Wald, who is in poor
health, received Miss Macdonald
in her sickroom and they chat
ted at length about social welfare
work, in which Miss Macdonald
is deeply interested. They have
been friends fo- many years. On
the last visit of the MacDonalds
to this country the Prime Min
lister and his daughter were week.
end guests of Miss Wald.
Miss Mcdonald planned to
return to New York Immediately
after luncheon.
But for six hours today she
hoped to forget engagements,
statements, sightseeing and inter-
views.
Just six hours-out of 1874 spent
in this country on her long week
end-does the prime minister's
daughter regard as her own. She
said today:
81 don't want to be reminded
of anything official. 1 do hope
no one follows me. don't
want any escort. / want merely
to be myself for a little WHILE"
Ishbel entered her holiday in
happy mood. All the way to New
York from Washington, where
Mrs. Roosevelt bade her good-by
with a package of White House
flowers and a motheriy kiss, she
engaged in a lively conversation
with Lady Vansittart and Sir Rob
ert, who travelled with her.
She stole a leaf from Mrs.
Roosevelt's book toward the end
of the five-hour ride, when she
went over her correspondence
which has been-as usual for her
in America-quite heavy.

trainer of horses, was acquitted
today of nonsupport of his IL
year -old son in District Supreme
Court by a verdict directed by
Justice Alfred A. Wheat.

The American Federation OF

Okay for Women
Green said labor had no OBJ

clared:
"The American Federation

would be q risky adventure.
While it would help some, 1t

MACHADO OUT
Leaders Furtive, as Suspicion
Of "Spies" Grows; Aim at
Provisional Regime
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN
Copyright, 1888, BY International
News SerNice.)

NEW YORK, April 26 G.NS).
Cuba's revolutionary leaders met
In secret conclave in New York
city today.
They are formulating a con.
certed plan of action to put an
end to the regime of President
Gerardo Machado, which, they
charge, has brought bloodshed,
terror and economic disaster to
the Cuban Republic.
Six Parties Joined
Six political parties of Cuba
are represented at the Junta
meetings now in progress. Most
of the revolutionary leaders at
bending the sessions have just
arrived from Miami.
They are proceeding quietly
almost fur tively-fearing, no
doubt, the possibility that Presi-
dent Machado's "Spies" may be
watching their movements in this
country.
DR.. Carlos de la Tore, former
president of Havana University
and former mayor of Havana, is
president of the Junta.
Aims Set Forth
He told International News Ser
vice today that two Of the prin-
cipal aims of the revolutionary
cabinet are:
/. To get Machado out of
the presidency by virtually any
expediency.
2.'To bring about, perhaps, a
provisional government which
would re-establish the Cuban
constitution in effect prior to
the Machado regime and pro
vide for a new presidential elec-
ton as soon as possible.
Active among the revolutionary
leaders attending the conclave is
DR.. Miguel Gomez, also former
mayor of Havana.
Killings Alleged
DR.. Gomez said today that
there has been no improvement
IN the CUBAN SITUATION since the
Roosevelt Administration went
into power in this country, add
ing:
killings are going on stead
lily in Cuba. MachadO's men
have slain not less than 1000
civilians in the past two years.
In that period at least 18O stu.
dents of Havana University and
high schools have been MUIR
.dered. Machado's military rule
Is intolerable."
U. S. Moves Watched
Because of the imminence of the
departure of Sumner Welles as
the American Ambassador to
Cuba, the meetings here take on
added significance.

GEOLOGICAL MEET

The Geological Society of Wash
ington will meet in the assembly
hall of the Cosmos Club tonight
at 8 o'clock. Brief talks and illus
trated lectures will feature the
meeting. All persons interested
are invited to attend.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-03-28

The city of Ansonia has brought up a fine point of law in settling dispute be- tween a water company and its custom CTS. The company shut off the water supply to two apartments because the owners failed to pay their bills. The land- lords in turn said their tenants were back in their rent so they had to let the water bills go. As result tenants drew on the Naugatuck river for their potable supply. Then the health department interfered and ordered the water turned on again. In this city several times the city has threatened to secure the cooperation of the health depart ment in turning off water to delinquent tax payers, but rarely has such course of ae- tion been taken. It is conducive to un- sanitary conditions and i'll health, with the ultimate result too costly for the entire community.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-03-28
An Executive Order

By the first of series of executive orders from President Franklin D. Roosevelt the much -publicized federal farm board and several other allied credit agencies, dealing with agriculture. is legislated out of existence, and one powerful board named in their stead the farm credit administration. Of course. there will be some opposition in Congress to the proposed changes. but in the main the thought of saving $2,000.000 annually should appeal to all our national legislators and persuade them to do what the president asks. It is presumed that Henry Morgen- thau, Jr, will be head of the new organi- zation.
 There are seven federal bureaus combined in this sweeping proposal of President Roosevelt. It is highly significant of the manner in which he is going to go after other departments in which he has already indicated that governmental reforms will be accomplished. That there can be vast saving in governmental expenditures will soon be proved or disproved by the pres- dent actions. provided, of course, he is able to secure the necessary congressional support for his pet ideas. There seems to be prev alent opinion that perhaps the president is rushing at things without sufficient thought or contemplation. If he can put through his program in short order it will mean saving in the expenses of the present fiscal year and that is just what President Roose- welt anticipates.
 Relief for holders of farm mortgages and the transportation industry of the nation. including also motor bus traffic. are also to follow this week if we are to believe dis patches from Washington. Plans are now under close investigation which are said to promise the first real relief that harrassed corporations such as the railroads, have seen for many weary month. With congress sional approval most of the plans of the pres ident, such as the merger of agricultural bu- reaus, can be accomplished in sixty days. This is possible under terms of the Byrnes economy rider to the Postoffice- Treasury bill. For long g-suffering populace any thing that brings lower federal government costs IS in the nature of miracle Bravo, MT Roosevelt!o
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-03-28

When we mentioned the fact last week that Ohio had just resurrected the proposed child labor amendment and passed it we gave only half the story. It seems that there has been more activity in state legislatures this year over the proposed amendment than there has been since it was first sent to the states for ratification in 1924. Up to January, l933, only six states had ratified the amendment, while 26. including Con- nectcut, had rejected it. Such action, how ever, we said last week could not be consid- cred as final, since the amendment contains no time limit. We now learn that in ad- dition to Ohio, three other states have rati- fled it. They are Oregon, Washington, and North Dakota. Incidentally it is encouraging to proponents of the amend ment to announce that North Dakota was one of the twenty-six states that had pre- viously rejected the amendment. Minnesota
 Alabama. Iowa, Pennsylvania, New Jersey. New York. Kansas Wyoming. Michigan and Tennessee are other states where the amendment is also under consideration this year with more than a fifty fifty chance of passage. This seems to be good year for constitutional amendments. Certainly If the child labor amendment is ever to be approved now is its golden opportunity.
