LAWYERS SEEK
TO END DELAY
IN DEAF HOME
Superior Judge Insists That
Effort Be Made to Settle
Problem.

Attorneys discussed an agreement
today which they hope will end
24-year delay and result in early
construction Of home for the aged
and inhrm deaf Of Indiana on
farm near Brookston.
Superior Judge Joseph R. Williams
at a hearing Saturday insisted that
attorneys of the Home for the Aged
and Inhrm Deaf, Inc, and Edmond
Leach. 74-year-old stockholder, at
tempt a settlement.
Since 1911, funds have been ac-
cumulating in building and loan
stock TO finance construction Of the
home on the farm donated by the
late Orson Archibald, teacher at the
Indiana State School for the Deaf.
Sought to End Delay
Mr.. Leach filed suit this year in
an effort to end the delay and push
immediate construction plans.
Some of the II directors favor
construction Of a unit on the farm.
Others urge that the funds continue
to grow until maintenance is as
sured
1--WE can support ourselves by
growing crops IN the fields. Some
of us will donate seeds, cattle and
fowl" Mr. Leach said
During the hearing the deaf spec
tators argued good-naturedly among
themselves in the sign language.
Judge Gives Advice
"These people on the board ought
not to let personal differences halt
construction of this home. The peo-
pie who are holding up this project
ought to get off the board" Judge
Williams said.
He said also that he believed the
plans would progress more rapidly
if those persons who are not deaf
resign.
The case was continued until Dec.
Is, to allow attorneys Linton A. Cox,
William Duke Balm, Charles B.
Clarke and Walter c. Clarke to work
out a plan agreeable to both sides.

No more will Presidents and

tin E. Matt" Horne at the piano
for death last night broke up the
team which for years has been a
feature without which no stag
function in the Capital would be
a success - Matt" Horne and
George O'Connor.
AS widely known in business
and official circles as he was in
the entertainment world, Mr..
Horne died of heart ailment at
1856 Second St. N. E., where he
made his home with his mother,
Mrs. Mary A. Horne.
Last Appearance
The last appearance of the ia,
nous team was exactly two days
before death split it asunder
Saturday night Matt" and
George presented their repertoire
of patter and ballad before the
Lawyers Club.
President Taft was the first OF
the Chief Executives to hear
Matt" at the piano harmonizinig
with George. The chuckles of the
rotund President are still recalled
around Washington. All the
White House occupants since then
have been treated to the talents
of the pair.
The first official presentation
of Matt" before a President was
with George at the first of the
White House correspondents din
ners for President Coolidge. The
team since then has been a fix
ture, not only with the White
House newsmen, but with Ma

Club celebrations.
At the time of his death, Mr.
Horne was associated with the

WIFE TO VISIT
HAUPTMANN

TRENTON, Dec. "a G.N.SO.
Still unaware of the departure
from the country of Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh and his family.
Bruno Richard Hauptmann, con-
demned slayer of Charles A. Lind
bergh, jr., today hoped for a pre-
Christmas visit from Mrs. Haupt-
mann in the State prison death
house.
When his faithful wife arrives,
however, her only Christmas pres
ent for him will be a sickening
SurpriSe-newS of the Lindbergh's
flight, partly caused by new kid
nap threats.
The shrewd Bronx carpenter
cannot fail to sense at once the
damaging effect this turn OF
events will have on his last ditch
fight to escape electrocution.
Signs Appeal
Hauptmann was reported in
high spirits when he signed his
appeal to the court of pardons
for clemency yesterday. He did
not know then of the Lind
berghs' secret exit from America.
When he does learn, he will
likely realize at once that the
event may offset any hopes
raised by Governor Hoffman'S
recent intervention in the case.
Col. Mark o. Kimberling,
principal keeper at the prison,
said it was understood Mrs.
Hauptmann would come to the
prison some time today, but that
he had not been informed de-
finitely of this. Cameramen were
waiting in the cold outside the
prison gates. Kimberling added:
II haven't told Hauptmann

ISOLATED
ON ISLAND

CRISFIELD, Md, Dec. "a.
Marooned since last Saturday
when ice blocked the channel, the
1900 residents of Smiths Island,
II miles from here in Tangier
Sound, face a bleak Christmas
unless a Coast Guard cutter ar
rives today to break through the
ice.
A number of residents of the
island who came to the mainland
of the Eastern Shore or the last
boaUs to get through and who
have been stranded here since,
last night telegraphed an appeal
to Coast Guard headquarters in
Baltimore, asking that cutter be
rushed to the scene so they can
get home for the holiday.
The freeze set in unusually
early this year, it was explained,
and those who had come to shore
to finish up Christmas shopping
were unable to get back.
Since Saturday those on the
island have received no mail or
fresh food, and have been cut
off from the world, since there is
no telephone or telegraph to the
island. There are a number OF
radio sets on the island, however
and the residents can receive
broadcasts, but send no word out
They are in no danger, how
ever, it was pointed out, since they
have ample food.
The channel to Tangier Island,
eight miles south of Smiths Island
is still open, and the mail boat
still gets through to that point

"jewel of the empire" Represen-
tative Church continued:
MAY it serve to remind you
that the freedom of the potato
is gone, a victim of the new
national theory of more
abundant life through limita-
ton, destruction, taxation, fines
and Jail sentences"
To his letter, Church appended
the following jingleS:
eat a potato hot,
Or plant a potato cold,
But don't omit to stamp it,
If you want to live to be old.
$50 long, potato strings,
Enter now, potato rings
Five bushels only you may raise
During these bug -hOuSe buggy
days"
