D. c. SCIENTIST
OFF ON TRIP To
GALAPAGOS
Dr.. Waldo Schmitt to Visit
Isle Where Two Bodies
Were Discovered

Off to the South Seas to plumb
the oceans depths for new scien'
tific discoveries, DR.. Waldo l..
Schmitt, of the Smithsonian In
stitution, is going to find him.
self pretty soon right in the
midst of a first-class mystery of
death and intrigue on a tropical
isle.
He's going down to desolate
Marchena Island, one of the
Galapagos group. where a few
days ago two unidentified bodies
we're found on the beach, the ma
ture of their deaths still undeter-
mined.
Knew Island Dwellers
They may have been friends Of
DR.. Schmitt. He knew all those
island hermits, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Wittmer, Arthur Rudolph
Lorenz, Robert Phillipson, DR..
Frederick Ritter, and Dora Kar-
win, the Germans who left their
native land for a life of nudism in
primitive setting, and the
Baroness Eloise Bonsquet de Wag-
ner, who is missing now after
what has been termed her mad
attempt to become empress of the
Galapagos.
Aboard the Velero Sd, scheduled
to sail from the West Coast today,
DR.. Schmitt is expected to reach
Marchena Island, several hundred
miles off the coast of Ecuador,
early in December. He expects to
scrape the sea floor for more
crustaceans such as he brought
back to the Smithsonian Institu'
ton from previous expeditions.
In 1882. he accompanied Capt.
G. Allen Hancock, skipper of the
Valero III, to the Galapagos and
came back with several rare Specl-
mems of marine invertebrates.
Brings Back Turtles
He also brought back two large
land turtles and flightless cormo-
rants, all of which may be seen
today at the National Geological
Park. Last year he returned with
two rare porpoises, now exhibited
at the Smithsonian.
But this is the first time that
he and Captain Hancock have
been confronted with a possible
murder mystery to engage them
in their idle moments.
DR.. Alexander Wetmore. assist
ant secretary of the Smithsonian
Institution, where DR.. Schmitt
is curator of marine invertebrates.
said the latter was interested
mainly in obtaining additional
crustaceans.
But with Marchena Island in a
state of turmoil over the two
deaths and the disappearance of
the would-be Empress of the
Galapagos" he probably will do
at least a little sleuthing during
the three or four months he ex-
poets to spend down on the
Equator.

SUTTON SEIZED,
FACES PAROLE
GR|LL|NG
LaRoe Orders Convict Arrest
ed; Says He Is Dissatisfied
With His Conduct

Albert Sutton, underworld
character with a long record, was
arrested early today in his ex'
elusive apartment on charge
of violation of his parole, with
the Parole Board charging 1t is
mot satisfied with his style Of
living, his alleged income and
his alleged place of employment"
The arrest was made on war
rant issued by the Parole Board
and signed by Wilbur LaRoe,
jr., spokesman for the board.
Sutton was arrested by Detective
Sergeants Floyd Truscott and
Clyde Strange after long
search.
LaROe Issues Statement
Following the arrest, Mr.. La
Roe issued statement declaring:
"The board has been investi-
eating Sutton as routine mat
ter for some time.
1--WE are now not satisfied
with his style of living, his al
legged income, his alleged place
of employment and the truth
fulness of his parole report
made to the board.
Nevertheless neither the
board nor the Police Depart
ment has been able to pin any
thing definitely on him in the
way of a parole violation.
"Within the past "a hours,
the board has received infOrma-
ton from two different sources
which in its judgment justified
issuance of the warrant"
Mr.. LaRoe said further that
among the matters which the
board desires to investigate is
Sutton's relation" with his pa
role advisor. He stated that there
are "a number of things in con-
nection with this relation" which
are not entirely satisfactory to
the board.
Hearing Scheduled
A hearing will be held at the
earliest convenience of the board,
probably early next week.
Declaring that the board cannot
disclose the evidence which it
possesses, Mr.. La Roe stated, how
ever, that it has a formidable
list of questions which Sutton
must answer. Mr.. La Roe said:
"If these questions are not
satisfactorily answered, Sutton'S
parole will be revoked and no
legal technicalities will be per-
mitted to enter"
Mr.. La Roe also denied reports
that James Buzz" Donovan, who
was paroled to the father of Paul
Wise, chief clerk at Leavenworth
Penitentiary, was in the District
when he should have been in
Indiana.
The parole board spokesman
said that Donovan reported to
Mr.. Wise's Indiana farm yester-
day at about 9 a. M, and that
it is a physical and geographical
impossibility" for him to have
been in Washington on Monday,

MERCHANTS AID
CHEER CLUB
CAMPAIGN
Times Group Seeks to See
That None Lack Joy in
YuIetide Season

The Washington Times Christ
mas Cheer Club has set as its
ideal a Christmas on which there
will be not one home in Washing
ton overlooked entirely by Santa
Claus.
Not one home in which a child
wakes to an empty stocking and
table bare of the Christmas
goodies that help make the day
for more fortunate little ones
that is the goal.
Godfrey Backs Plan
Arthur Godfrey, WJSV radio
announcer and a member Of the
committee in charge of The
Washington Times Christmas
Cheer program, says:
"It's a big order, but it can
be filled.
ut takes very little to make
a child happy on Christmas.
Just a handful of toys and a
bit of candy in the stocking.
Maybe also a few bits of warm
clothing. Not much to the child
in a family where such things
are commonplace, but to hum
dreds of children in Washing
ton that little bit makes or
ruins Christmas"
Mr.. Godfrey and Lou Brown, Of
Loew'S theaters in Washington,
are directing the Christmas cheer
party the morning of December Is
at Loew's Fox Theater, and the
ball that night at the Willard
Hotel.
Funds Sought
The two events, Mr.. Godfrey and
Mr.. Brown hope, will help raise a
part of the money needed to put
over the Christmas cheer program.
Every penny of the proceeds of
both theater and hotel party will
go to the Christmas fund.
The show and ball are not, how
ever, the only means by which the
toys, food and clothing are to be
obtained. Gifts of either or all
of the three will be gratefully &C
cepted by The Washington Times
Christmas Cheer Club.
Washington merchants have sig
nified their desire to take part in
the campaign. At various stores
certain items on sale will be
marked For The Washington
Times Christmas Cheer Club" and
put on sale at cost price. They
can be purchased and left at the
store to be delivered to The Wash
ington Times for distribution on
Christmas Eve.
Groceries to Help
The same plan will be pursued
at a number of grocery stores,
and the goods will be sent The
Washington Times to 60 into the
Christmas baskets.
The program, as outlined by the
committee in charge, is unique in
Washington. It is an entirely new
Christmas giving plan, one that
will insure that every penny OF
the money given or spent will go
directly toward making some
Washington child'S Christmas a
happy one.
The Christmas Cheer Club is
working in cooperation with the
old Washington Times Goodfellow
Club, oldest of the Christmas CIV
ing clubs in Washington.
The Goodfellows, however, have
not gone out of operation. For
those who prefer this method of
reaching some one to make happy
on Christmas Day the Goodfellows
are still on hand.
Already names of various fami-
lies needing and asking for help
this holiday have been supplied to
various charitable minded Wash
ingtonianS and groups of such per
sons.

RIOTING ON BOSTON COMMON
Outbreaks Believed Sequel
to Assassination of
Late Archbishop

CHICAGO, April 9.-(UP).--
Two groups of American-Armen-
ians fought brief but fierce bat
tie on Chicago's West Side yes
terday and ten persons suffered
injuries which were so serious
that they were taken to hospitals.
More than SO police ended the
battle, in which bricks, fists and
clubs were used. Several of those
injured were struck by police
clubs.
The trouble started during a
melting of about 1000 members
of the Armenian National club, a
and political group which
is said to favor an old and con-
sentative form of government Tor
their people.
During the meeting, a group OF
about 200 persons started a pa
rade nearby and marched past
the meeting place. 1t was said
that most of the nIarchers were
who favored a more
radical form of government.
AS the parade passed, some OF
those inside the building came out
and the fighting started. Women

Senator Elmer Thomas, Democrat

committee have indicated satisfac.
ton over his plan for the nation
alization Of domestic silver. For
NAL action has not been taken,
however. A report to the full

Senator Burton X. Wheeler,

the silverites' campaign from his
apartment where he is suffering
from nervous exhaustion.
A senate subcommittee met
today in an effort to complete
preparation of amendments which
the full committee will add to the
Dies bill already approved by the
house. The Dies bill authorizes
the acceptance of silver at a
premium of between 10 and %
per cent over the world market
price, in payment for American
agricultural exports.
Thomas has prepared an amend
ment calling for naturalization
of silver and issuance of large
volume of silver certificates val
ued at a fixed ratio with gold.
The proposal has been circulated
among silver state senators ana
has received wide approval.
Leaders Of the silver bloc~are
proceeding cautiously, feeling that
failure to win sufficient support
for the Dies bill would end auto
