PILSUDSkPS DEATH WORRIES
STATESMEN OF EUROPE
FLEET MANEUVERS.
BY EDWARD w. PlckARD

COMPLICATIONS in the already pre-
~ carious European situation were
expected to result from the death OF
Marshal Josef Pilsudski, the virtual
dictator of Poland. The father of his
country" succumbed to cancer of the
stomach in Warsaw and his death was
a great shock to the Poles for the seri-
Gus nature of his affliction had been
concealed from the public. The mar
shal's heart was inferred at wilma and
his brain was given to science, accord
ing to his request; but his body was
buried in the cathedral of Rawel cas-
tie at Crakow beside those of King
John Sobieski, Thaddeus Kosciuszko
and others of Poland's great men.
Pilsudski held only the office of min
lister of war, but was the real ruler OF
Poland, and there was anxious specu-
lation as to his successor. Some OBJ
servers thought this might be Col.
Josef Beck, the foreign minister, who
was especially close to the marshal.
Other candidates were Alexander
Prystor, former premier, and the pres
ent premier, Col. Walery Slawek.
The iron-willed marshal had been
a consistent advocate of a close rap
prochement between Poland and Ger
many, sternly curbing the activities
of those who favored the course of
breaking away from the reich and
standing with France in her policies
for eastern Europe. PilSudski was
rather offended by the recently signed
pact between France and Russia, and
French Foreign Minister Laval stopped
in Warsaw on his way to Moscow to
try to pacify him; but the marshal
was too i'll to take part in the dis
cuSsions and Laval went on to Rus
STA without even seeing him.
The government announced it would
continue to function as though Pilsud-
ski were alive. The authority of the
dictator, it said, has passed to his life
long friends, President Ignace Mos
cicli, Premier Slawek, Foreign Minis
ter Beck and Gen. Edward Rydz-
Smigly. The appointment of General
Rydz-Smigly as Pilsudskfs successor
as inspector general of the army was
in accordance with the marshaPs COM
mand.
The government denied any changes
were impending. 1t announced that
both the internal and foreign policies
which Pilsudski inaugurated will be
followed faithfully by the men he had
trained for executive positions.

the generation, transmission and dis
tribution of electrical energy in rural
areas"
The order permits the administrator
to acquire by purchase or by the
power of eminent domain any real
property or any interest therein and
improve, develop, grant, sell, lease or
otherwise dispose of any such prop
erty.
Mr.. Roosevelt, after issuing this or

on this outing were Vice President

Mcintyre and Early, Col. e. NJ. Wat

IN CONNECTION with the split be-
tween the President and the bust
ness men as represented by the United
States Chamber of Commerce. Mr..
Roosevelt stated that the business ad-
visory council set up by Secretary of
Commerce Roper was perfectly free
to publish it's reports after consulta-
ton with government agencies in
volved. Senator Steiwer of Oregon,
however, insists that certain critical
reports of the council have been sup
pressed by the administration, so he
introduced in the senate a resolution
asking the President to send up the
reports for examination. 1t was passed
after being qualified to read 'if not
incompatible with the public interest"

jured, official records stated.
Lieut.. Matthias B. Wyatt of San
Diego, a graduate of the naval acad-
envy, was plotting one of eighteen
fighting planes which took off from
the aircraft carrier Saratoga 200
miles east of Honolulu to ward off an
attack of "enemy" submarines. His
plane was caught in the slipstream
from another and fell into water three
miles deep. No trace of him or his
ship was found.
In connection with the maneuvers
the greatest interest was in the mass
flight of forty-three planes from the
Pearl Harbor naval base westward,
presumably to Midway islands. They
were under the command of Comman-
der E. w. Tod, U. S. N, and for the
time being all that the public was per-
mitted to know was that they reached
their secret destination safely and
were executing their missions" One
report was that the planes made one
stop en- route and that forty-one of
them finished the flight together, two
arriving later.

enough votes to override the veto in

Rather surprisingly, Senator William
G. McAdoo of California, former sec

Patman bill. asserting that it was "a
mere conjecture" that the issue of

The new senator, who is the head
of the Democratic patty in New Mex
leo, was born in that state AZ years
ago. While serving as senate clerk
he attended Georgetown university
law school and after returning to AL
buquerque to practice law he was
elected to the state legislature. In 1890
he was elected New Mexico's one rep
resentative in the national house and
was reelected in 1882. He resigned in
1884 to oppose Cutting in the sena-
torial race and was defeated by about
1000 votes.

by President Roosevelt, is advocated
by the American Liberty league, which
in a statement issued from Washing
ton says the resolution offered by Sen
ator Bennett Clark is the most FEAST
BILE method of rescuing business from
bureaucracy and experimentation.
Commentator is due to the SEN
ate finance committee, which voted
out the resolution of Senator Clark
rather than the administration bill of
Senator Harrison" the league said.
"The bill has all the earmarks of
tricky attempt to avoid definite de-
termination of the constitutional valid
ity of the recovery act through de-
cision of the Supreme court.
"The shifting of the legal founda-
ton of the NRA might permit its con-

a CCORDING to the Department Of
Justice, its plans for the estab-
lishment in Washington of a national
crime institute and a central radio
station for broadcasting police news
are nearing completion. An advisory
committee has made preliminary re-
port on the crime institute, and 200
local police officials have warmly en-
dorsed the suggestion of ]. Edgar
Hoover, chief of the division of GRIM
inal Investigation, for the establish
ment of the radio station.
Technicians and crime experts are
preparing plans for the station, to be
submitted to Attorney General Cum
mings.
A modest beginning for the train
ing school, crime laboratory and
clearing house," to be known as
the National Crime Institute, was sug-
gested by the advisory subcommittee,
headed by Justin Miller, special assist
ant to the attorney general.
About twelve states, including New
York, Illinois and Ohio, have already
started or completed plans for CO.
ordinating police and law-enforcement
activities through state departments
of justice, it was revealed, and the con-
templated crime institute would offer
them facilities for training their per-
sonnet in scientific police methods and
for co-ordinating their general work.
The institute would have three d.
visions under the plan outlined in the
subcommittee report. One would deal
with the training of state police, pro-
baton and parole officers; another
would train prosecutors in the best
way to "beat rackets" and cope with
other modern crime problems, while
the third would act as "a clearing
house for practical information"

BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. February 16-Prospects
here today indicated that for the first
time in more than two years the
United States tota; corn visible next
week would be well under 10000 900
bushels. Furthermore, talk was cur
rent that apparently the entire stock
of corn in Chicago will be gone within
IL weeks. namely, by May /.
Unsold corn here at present is esti-
mated at only about 100000 bushels,
showing extreme paucity in contrast
with the fact that during 1884 Chicago
received 55,50O,00O bushels of corn,
which, added to a carryover from 1888,
made an aggregate of 1851 900
bushels.
Special heed by corn traders was
given to statements that high meat
prices have tendency to curtail mar
keting corn when farm feeding is
more profitable. With foremost un-
official authorities expressing belief
the domestic commercial supply Of
corn will be exhausted before the 1885
new crop is available, particular notice
was also taken that the corn visible
supply in the United States at present
is only about half Of that it was q
year ago.
An official estimate of Argentine
corn acreage puts the total at 1872
900. the largest on record, and Indi-
eating q crop Of 4ss,0000OO bushels.
