HAZEN IS CALLED
BY CRIME EPROBERS
Commissioner to Be Asked
Part He Played in Po-
lice Promotion.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen was
summoned before the Special Crime
Committee of the House this after
noon to relate the part he played in
the sensational deal to force the
retirement of Police Inspector Thad-
deus r. Bean so Inspector Albert j.
Eeadley could be elevated to the rank
of an assistant superintendent.
Maj. Ernest w. Brown, superin-
tendent Of police, already has in
formed the committee he discussed
the arrangement with Hazen last
Fall and that the Commissioner had
approved it
While Maj. Brown has denied max
in. a "gentleman's agreement" with
Representative Blanton, Democrat, of
Texas, he said there was an under
standing that Headley would be pro-
NOTED when Bean retired Headley,
the beneficiary in the arrangement,
also has admitted he had an under
standing with Blanton that when
Bean did go to the retirement roll he
would be made an assistant superin-
tendent with an increased conpen-
sation of $500 a year.
HeadIey Severely Grilled.
Headley followed Maj. Brown on
the witness stand yesterday afternoon
and was subjected to a severe grilling
due primarily to his reluctance to
discuss the affair. In fact, the COM
mittee was forced to draw from him
the admission that he had an under
standing with Blanton.
Smarting under the penetrating
questions fired at him, Headley sew
eral times snapped back in resentment
He objected to an implication that he
was a ''Snooper." Particularly did he
flare up at a charge, hurled at him
by Representative Schultz, Democrat
of Indiana. that he had ''Socked" Maj
Brown below the belt"
Headley placed himself on the de-
fensive the moment he took the wit
ness stand. He was unable to remem-
Der certain details or to recall certain
instances that occurred within the last
year. Ultimately, members of the
committee lost patience and accused
him of fencing" and with being
evasive. Headley, of course, vehe-
mently denied these allegations.
However, Headley did not hesitate to
answer questions about his friendship
with Blanton. He said they had been
friends for a number of years and had
often exchanged correspondence.

LONDON. March 19-French dis
approval of the British note to Ger
many as weak" was indicated in
French quarters today as Ambassador
Andre Charles Corbin of France in
terviewed Sir John Simon, British
foreign secretary.
At the same time authoritative
quarters said that whether Great
Britain will ask the United States to
take steps in connection with Ger
many's newly announced military
power might depend on the forth
coming conversations between Sir
John and Reichsfuehrer Hitler of
Germany
The French Ambassador had an
extended conversation with Sir John
and an unconf1rmed report said the
British minister might go to Berlin
by way of Paris as result.
More Arms Money Asked.
Meanwhile the government made
plea for more air armaments money one
day after its protest to Reichsfuehrer
Hitler against Germany's re-estab-
nshment OF a conscript army with
airplanes in violation of the YER
sailles treaty.
Sir Philip SasSoon, undersecretary
OF state for air. told the legislators
that Great Britain's defense weakness
was not only "a danger to ourselves,
but to the cause of peace
He introduced the new air estimates,
which contain an increase of $780,
500 (s18.00o.o00) over 1884.
Last years air aviation budget was
fl7,56l 900 - approximately S89,209,-
$50.
Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald
told the House the British government
will appoint special subcommittee to
investigate England's defenses against
aerial attacks.
The committee to be chosen will
serve under the Committee for I'm
perial Defense. 1t will be especially
concerned with bombing attacks.
French Indignant.
French quarters here expressed in
dignation over what they termed a
lack of sufficient expansion of details
of the Anglo-French communique Of
last month in the British note deliv-
cred to Berlin yesterday. They saio
they particularly resented the British
avoidance of reference to the League
of Nations.
The French said they thought the
note of protest merely served the pur-
pose of inquiry and did not bear down
on Germany sufficiently.
Rumors circulated in diplomatic
circles that Germany will shortly an
nounce her return to the League, but
government officials said they had not
received any hint of this kind from
Germany and they did not expect any
action on the subject, at least until
after Hitler had discussed the whole
situation with Sir John.

Anthony Eden, lord privy seal, will

in proof of the declaration that the
arms clauses of the treaty of Ver-
sailles no longer apply to Germany
and official German sources intimateo
the next portion of the treaty to &C
would be that preventing Germany
from building Notifications along the
Rhine.
Both the French and the Russians
referred to Great Britain's protest
against German rearmament as

criticism the claim that Great Britain
had "capitulated" to Germany.

More than 900 fire fighters,
many of them ready to drop in
their tracks from over-exertion
and fatigue, we're battling their
tenth day of raging flames.
With the fire completely out OF

acute that 200 men working on

rites, which apparently immunlze
the fanatical dancers against the
venom of the snakes.
AS the dance ends, runners
grasp the writhing snakes from
the priests and dash away to all
points of the compass to liberate
the reptiles. The Hopi religion
claims the snakes then return to

sends rain to the Hopi country
as a reward for the faithfully
