FIRST LADY MAKES
APPEAL FOR YOUTH
Addresses National Council
of Parent Education
Meeting Here.
onies at last nights celebration

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt made
plea for youth in her address today
before the National Council of Parent
Education meeting in the Wardman
Park Hotel
Only yesterday a group Of young
people told Mrs Roosevelt, she said,
that they were finding it impossible
to live up to the ideals held before
them since there is so much grating
and corruption in the world"
Character Most Important.
As she stressed the importance Of
parents and teachers banding together
in the guidance of youth, Mrs. Roose-
welt said:
Probably the most important thing
today Is the building of character. 1t
is more important than knowledge, or
even the equipment for earning a
living because If they (the YOUTH have
the right kind of character the other
themselves the answers to other ques-
tions.
The education of today is not purely
an education Of youth, but of par
ents also-because so many parents
have lost their hold on their children
for a variety of reasons.
The best kind of young people
think for themselves. They are will
ing to talk to older people, but don't
want older people who are shocked
by their ideas, nor older people who
are not realistic.
Youth Glad 10 Get Help.
1.-THE youth of today needs help,
and is glad to have it when givel in
a spirit of helpfulness and not with
too much self-riehteousness. We don't
need to idealize too much the thinNi
that are past. Perhaps they were not
so glamorous when we lived through
them"
Mrs. Roosevelt addressed two meet
ings this morning, the other a
conference discussing the exceptional
child's educational problems.
In a discussion of parent education
in Federal agencies at the Wardman
Park meeting the following took part:
Bess Goodykoontz, Katherine F. Len
root, Louise Stanley and Clarence E.
Pickett.
M L. Wilson, Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture, addressed the council on
How New Deal Agencies Are Affect
ing Family Life
A tea for council members was held
this afternoon at the American Uni
versity Women's Club House.

MEXICAN DIVORCE
AGENT ATTACKED
Lawyers Suit Asks Iniunc.
ton Against Hubert J.
Burrows Here.

Jean M. Boardman, a local attorney,
today filed suit In District Supreme
Court for an Injunction to prevent
Hubert J. Burrows from allegedly ad-
vising Washington couples to settle
their marital differences in the Mexi-
can courts.
Burrows, who maintains Offices in
the Garry Building, is identified as
head of the "Compania de Los
Negocios Mexicanos, S. A." The suit
alleged that, although he is not a
lawyer, he has advised numerous
couples on legal questions involved In
obtaining divorces here and in Mexico,
charging large fees for these services.
The court was informed that Bur-
rows advises his clients they can OBJ
tain Mexican divorces without be-
coming residents of Mexico, but mere
ly by submitting themselves to the
jurisdiction of the Mexican courts
either in writing or through an attor-
ney and mutually consenting to be
divorced"
The suit alleges Mexican divorces
obtained under these conditions are
void, that remarriages contracted aft
er such a divorce are bigamous and
that children born under such re-
marriages are illegitimate.
In asking the court to prevent Bur-
rows from engaging in suchO activities,
Boardman charges the defendant has
encroached upon the legitimate field
of professional practice and has re-
flected discredit and disgrace upon
the entire legal profession.

The only hope of world peace, DR..
Daniel A. Polling told the concluding

HEALTH OFFICER
CHOICE DELAYED
Allen Awaits Decision on
FoWIer's Plea to Avoid
Retirement.

Commissioner George E. Allen ex-
poets to reorganize the District Health
Department, but no action to this end
will be taken until President Roose-
welt has passed upon an application by
Dr. William c. Fowler, health officer,
for extension of service beyond re-
tirement age, Commissioner Allen said
today.
DR.. Fowler will reach the age of 70
on November "a. The Commissioners
forwarded his application to the Presi-
dent some time ago, but recognized
that the administration policy was
against extension except in special
cases where the official involved was
In the midst of an especially important
project, 1t was stated.
Will Name Committee.
Allen plans to create an advisory
committee to guide him in the Sc
lection Of a new health officer, when
ever that is to be done, and to aid in
the revamping of the health Office.
Among those he plans to ask to give
this advisory service are representa-
tives Of the United States Public
Health Service, George Washington
and Georgetown University Hospitals
and the District Medical Society.
Allen said today he hoped the new
health officer, if and when appointed,
would be a Washington man, but he
could give no assurance this would be
the case. 1t was said the job possibly
would go to an outsider. Allen said
he had no one in mind at this time.
Politics to Be Ignored.
"I can assure you of one thing" he
said, land that is that politics will
have nothing to do with the selection
of the official"
The matter arose today when Rufus
s. Lusk, secretary Of the Washington
Taxpayers Protective Association,
urged Commissioner Allen to select a
new health officer, when the time
comes, who will be one having not
only experience in public health work,
but also administrative ability"

GANG FACES QUIZ
IN Staying PROBE
Members and Associates of
Tri.State Group to Be
Questioned.

Police today planned to question
members and associates of the motor
ious tri-State gang as they sifted a
maze of rumors in their search for the
three gunner who murdered news
paper route carrier as they lay in wait
for Mickey Mcdonald at the latter'S
Takoma Park home October %.
Convinced that Allen B. Wilson was
the innocent victim of plot to get"
Mcdonald because he was spreading
out too far" in the Washington num-
bsrs" racket. police are questioning
one alleged member of the tri-State
gang and expect to interrogate another
in the near future.
The latter man, Arthur Dutch
Misunas, who turned States evidence
at Richmond against Walter Legenza
and Robert Mais shortly before the
two condemned men shot their way
out of the Richmond Jail probably
will be questioned in an effort to get
a line on the three gunner who
killed Wilson.
Misunas Willing to Talk.
States Attorney Stedman Prescott
of Montgomery County has expressed
the belief Wilson was killed by hired
assasSins, one local man and the
other two imported. While Misunas
has been under arrest since his appre-
hension in San Francisco last August.
he has large knowledge of under
world activities in Washington and
has shown a great willingness to talk.
Another alleged member of the gang,
John (Sllm) Dunn, under indictment
in the tri-State gang robberies of a
Union Station mail truck and the
Heurich Brewery, has been questioned
repeatedly by police since his arrest
a week ago.
Maj. Ernest Brown, superintendent
OF police, refused to disclose what
light, If any, Dunn had thrown on
the Wilson case.
At least a dozen "leads" were being
run down today by a special squad of
police detailed to the case by Mai.
Brown under command of Lieut.. John
Fowler, police ballistics expert. No
immediate arrests are expected of any
OF the leads.
Marie McKeever Found.
Mr.. Prescott said today his investi-
gators had located" Marie McKeever,
described as the sweetheart of Mais,
and that she probably would be ques-
toned to determine if she could throw
some light on the Wilson shooting.
Meanwhile, work of setting up a
permanent committee of criminal
Justice" as proposed by the District
Bar Association at law and order
mass meeting Monday night, will 90
forward at a second meeting of the

Alex. Mex. Vierhus, collector,
United States Treasury Department,
under date of May %, 1894, has is
sued the following statement for
publication, which was received this
