Agnes TUFVERSON
SEARCH Continues
IN GRAVE YARDS
New York Police Work on
Theory She Was Slain and
Buried Secretly

New York. June 2l-(P-The hope
Of solving the mystery of the missing
Miss Agnes Tufverson lay Thursday
in the graves, the cemeteries Of the
metropolis.
On the theory that the woman-a
shrewd and successful lawyer until
she married Captain Ivan Poderjay-
was slain and buried secretly, police
directed an inquiry into all recent
burials which may have been done
under unusual circumstances.
The cooperation Of neighboring au-
thorities was enlisted in q message
spread through upstate New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecti-
cut and Massachusetts,.
Vienna police reported that unless
the body is found, they may be
obliged to permit their prisoner, Cap
tain Poderjay, international soldier
Of fortune. to go free, though they
hope developments In Vienna may
bolster their case.
Otto Steinhaeusl, secretary Of VI
enna's international police organiza-
ton. said Thursday evidence con-
Meeting Captain Ivan Poderjay with
the disappearance Of Agnes Tufver-
son was strengthening.
I'VE do not yet have q confession"
Steinhaeusl said, land we can only
accuse him Of murder when the chain
Of circumstantial evidence is closed.
For this we await from America
news OF the finding Of Miss Tuver-
sons body"
Vienna authorities are convinced
that the 43-year-old American woman
lawyer is dead.
A topsy-turvy scene, with papers
strewn over the floor, met the gaze
Of = Negro maid who entered the
apartment Of Captain Poderjay In
New York on December ~. last.
This disclosure, from Q reliable
source, was contrary to earlier, less
reliable reports, and 1t added new
facts to the already multi-faced mys-
terry OF the missing Agnes Tufverson.
Still another new disclosere from
the same reliable source, was to the
effect the dashing, now suspected,
Poderjay made love to . widowed
concert violinist simultaneously with
the counting Of Miss Tufversou, the
successful woman lawyer.
The New York police learned the
concert violinist repulsed him. They
learned also that Poderjay attempted
to induce her father, . patent attor-
ney, to Join him in business, but
dropped the idea when the patent
attorney demanded Poderjay provide
part Of the capital.

BRAIN TRUST Will

DECLARES AF.YALE
Roosevelt Slaps Criticism Of
Congress in "Erudite
Press Of East

En- Route to New London. Conn.,
June 2l.-R- President Roosevelt
cruised Thursday to the race course
Of the Harvard and Yale crews after
warning the universities Of the land
and particularly Of the east, against
narrowness and lauding their expert
mentation.
He told the Alumni Of Yale Uni
versity In this connection late Wed
nesday that the BRAIN Trust would
continue in government and he
slapped at criticism of congress in
the more erudite press Of the east.
With this extemporaneous, outspok-
en- expression at Yale. where he re-
ceived an honorary degree Of Doctor
Of Laws, Mr.. Roosevelt sailed aboard
the governmental yacht Sequoia for
the Thomas river, where Friday his
own school, Harvard. and his newly
adopted alma mater, Yale. will battle
with oars.
A more intimate reason lured the
president to New London. His son,
EI6ukllu, d., ID B u0emDSr OF the
Harvard freshman crew.
Mrs. Roosevelt Travelled with the
president out on Long Island Sound
Thursday. They were accompanied
by their eldest son. James, his wife
and her parents, DR.. and Mrs. Harvey
Gushing Of New Haven.
Ruling out politics from national
government and defending the brain
Trust" Mr.. Roosevelt remarked at
Yale:
while there has been q certain
amount Of comment about the use Of
brains In tho national government, It
seems to Be q pretty good practice
practice which will continue - this
practice Of calling on trained people
for tasks that require trained people.
II think 1t Is also true that In the
conduct Of our government there has
been no period in our history where
what we call in the wrong sense poll
tics. and the wrong sense politicians,
enter less than they do today In the
conduct Of government"
The Sequoia, trailed by coast guard
cutters carrying secret service and
newspapermen, was due to reach New
london late Thursday afternoon.

The fact Is, shafer said, that whil<

Our National Guard
Deserving of Better Treatment

DESERVING Ol D0LIGr lI0dCul6uG
The annual encampment of the District National Guard
again calls attention to body of loyal and public spirited
citizens who render the community service too often
taken for granted
Washington is VIGOROUSLY unapprecatve of these ct
zensodiers who give freely of their time and energy in
order to prepare themselves for whatever emergency
local national, which may arise.
Instead Of being grateful to these for the many
sacrifices they make for the good of the community
do not furnish them with decent housing for their
activities.
We very kindly permit them to store their equipment
in condemned buildings and after they have fixed up the
structures try to throw them out
1t is for wonder that despite the indifference
with which the local guard units treated, they per-
and continue to keep themselves prepared for
eventuaites.
The smallest communities in the States are able to
furnish and maintain adequate armores for the housing
of their guard units but the National Capital is unable
to give its units anything which family resembles
an armory.
Small towns in nearby Maryland have excellent &C
commodatons for their units but wealthy and pros
porous community like Washington lets its companies
exist without benefit of encouragement
The fact that the guard exists here at all is tribute
to the leadership of it's officers and the morale and self
sacrificing spirit of its men,
These loyal citizens deserve encouragement than
they getting from the community.

The Washington times., 1934-08-11

Two recently published books
bring to mind the interesting
fact that very few men stricken
by calamitous physical infirm-
ity have ever been able to con.
quer feebleness or disease and
rise to the heights.
In recent times we have had
our own Pres sid t, who
emerged from years of paralyz-
ing invalidism to take the lead
ership of the nation; Philip
SnoWden, now Viscount Snow
den, who was one of the great
est of British chancellors of the
eXchecquer and, as Harold
Nicholson's "Curzon: the Last
Phase" (Houghton, Mifflin) re-
veals, that curious and un-
happy personality, Lord Curzon
of Kedleston.
Curzon rose to high place in
imperial h ority, but was
hampered always by the public
belief that he was unutterably
pompous, stiff. unbending. But
what the public did not know,
as Mr.. Nicholson tells us, was
that he suffered all his life
from curvature of the spine.
Owing to this dreadful afflic-
ton he had to live and move
in a kind of steel cage, straQ Qped
within a framework of un-
bending steel. There was prob
ably never a day in his life
that he did not suffer acutely
from backache.
It was in this wise and guise
that the public saw him and
was chilled and repelled by the
invariable stiffness of his bear
ing, his apparent coldness, his
inability to smile, his resem-
blance to a man we'll withdrawn
from the warmth of human life.
Due to his affliction he was
subject to fits of violent trem-
bling and periods of excessive
emotion, nervous reactions
against tn e prison of steel
which confined his suffering
body.
A great leader of other days,
Prince Eugene of Savoy, was
likewise misjudged in his youth,
as Paul Frischauer tells us in
his Prince Eugene" translation
by Amethe Smeaton, Countess
Won Zeppelin, and published by
William Morrow & Co.
He was, indeed, an ugly duck
ling, this lad whose mother was
a niece of the great Cardinal
Mazarin and who was reputed
to be a natural son of Louis the
14th, the Grand Monarch. He
had handy legs and a distorted
nose. He was thin, weakly and
apparently of little wit. The sis
ter-in-laW of King Louis called
him a dirty, debauched boy,
who gave no promise of being
good"
He was, indeed. so unpre-
possessing that his family de-
signed him for the church.
but the boy himself had other
ideas. He revered the King,
looked up to him as demigod,

WISE WORDS

Better spare at the brim than
at the bottom.
It is hardly possible to suspect
another without having in ones
self the seeds of baseness the
party is accused of.-Stanlslaus.
If things we're to be done
twice all would be wise.
In a thousand pounds of law
there is not an ounce OF love.
In trust is treason.
It is better to give one shilling
than to lend 20.
He who has no children
knows not what love means.
He who hath lost shame is
lost to all virtue.
Idleness turns the edge of wit.
If pride were a deadly dis
ease how many would be now
in their graves?
When the well is dry we know
the worth of water.
When the good cheer is lack
ing our friends will be packing.

insulted went on to become,
with Marlborough, the great
soldier of the age; went on to
win thirty-five battles; went
on to halt and almost smash
the power of the greatest ruler
in Europe.
Spurned by the king he
adored, from that moment he
hated Louis with a deadly
hatred. By tremendous strength
of will he triumphed over
physical weaknesses and IN
fir1nities which would have
utterly baked a lesser spirit.
He deserted his warm bed in
the coolest weather to sleep on
the bare ground. He devoted
himself to a study of campaigns
and military tactics. He en-
ployed the most expert instruc-
tors in fencing and horSeman-
ship. He got a commission IN
the Austrian army and began
his great career by fighting the
Turks.
Time after time he beat the
Oriental invaders and then
turned to the west, beat the
best armies that Louis could
send against him, and finally,
with the English Marlborough,
definitely ended the ambitions
of the Grand Monarch to be-
come the overload of all Europe
