TOLL BRIDGE BILL
OPPOSED BY HAZEN
Commissioner Questions Wisdom
of Granting Right to Pri-
vate Concern.

Opposition to construction Of a toll
bridge across the Potomac above
Great Falls, as proposed in a bill now
before the House, was expressed to-
day by Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen.
He questioned whether a private
concern should be given the right to
build span across the river close to
Great Falls, which is one of the beauty
spots of the National Capital area.
"It seems to me it would be rather
strange to have a toll bridge across
the river at such point" Hazen
said. I'm fact, the idea of toll bridge
so close to the National Capital does
not sound right"
Hazen also objected to the idea Of
placing the cost of the development of
the necessary approach roads to the
toll bridge on the taxpayers of the
District and Virginia.
A bill authorizing the toll bridge
was introduced by Representative
Smith of Virginia and Is now before a
House subcommittee.

BRAGG IS FINED
IN HEALING CASE.
Pays $100 Assessed by
Court and Appeals Con-
viction.

Deciding Paul c. Bragg, 40, self
STYLED professor and possessor of health
secrets, was guilty of practicing the
healing art here without license
Police Court Judge Ralph Given to-
dav imposed a fine Of $l00. He had
had the case under advisement for
two weeks.
Bragg. whose sun-tanned features
belied his 40 years, paid the fine after
his counsel had served notice OF an
appeal.
Judge Given. in handing down his
decision, said Bragg had overstepped
his teachings of dietetics and natural
living, and that some of his remedies
would, under the law, be classed as
drugs
In a statement to newspaper men
after the decision Bragg declared:
1T was not my intention to violate
the law. I have lectured In almost
every State in the country during the
last 18 months, and this is the first
time there has been any trouble. I
regret this has happened and in the
future shall abide by the law.
II am planning return lectures IN
Washington this Fall"
Lawyers said this was the first case
prosecuted in the District under the
act passed in 1929, prohibiting such
practice.
Bragg was first arraigned in court
on April rs, shortly after his arrest.
The case attracted considerable at
tention when scores of his followers
mostly women, jammed into the court
room and court halls to hear the case

Revert to Childhood.
An intensive study of the CONVEX
sational topics of two manic depres-
sive natients was reported by DR.. Jo-
senh =. Blalock of New York City.
THESE conversations, he said, led to
the conclusion that "the manic reac-
tion represents one way out IN the
atten1pt of the patient to solve his
nartici,lar problems, the objective be-
inc a state of childish happiness with
out painful ideas. 1t represents a re-
pression to childhood. Many OF the
symptoms contain references to early
Childhood forms of thinking, acting
and feeling. The patients attitude
toward those in the environment is
a selfish one serving his childish
needs. The parents, or those who
take their place, function merely to
aratify his demands and impulses
His original childish dependence on
the parents has been retained and
there has been no emancipation, so
that he Is ,smotionaliy immature"

NIGHT CLUB GIRLS
DEATH is SUICIDE
Jeanne McGehee Found Victim of
Gas in Apartment-Left
Husband Note.

A certificate of suicide has been Is
sued by Coroner A. Magruder Mac
Donald in the death yesterday after
noon from Illuminating gas of Mrs.
Jeanne McGehee, co-operator of the
Masquers Club, 1000 block Of Fiji
teenth street. She turned on the gas
in the kitchen on the third floor after
writing a note declaring love for her
husband and 12-year-old son by
former marriage.
The husband, Malcolm McGehee.
returned last night and talked to
police investigating the death.
Mrs McGehee was known profess
sionally as a pianist, under the name
of Jeanne LIE Vans, police said. In
the note she wrote before turning on
the gas she said: Dear Mac: love
you. Take care of Val love him"
Her body was found when two
men delivering ice at the Fifteenth
street address, where Mr.. and Mrs.
McGehee lived, smelled gas and en-
tered the kitchen on the third floor.
The night club was operated on the

Heat-ExpIoded Shell Found
in Chamber of Gun Linked
to Mystery.
MICROSCOPE REVEALS
OTHER CLUES IN DEATH
Theory Is Killer Hurled Weapon
Into Flames After Staying
D. G. Girl in 1880.

A microscope revealed additional
clues today as police linked cheap
Spanish automatic, kicked from an
ash heap by a child, to the nearly
five-year-old mystery of the murder
of Beulah. Limerick
The gun had been burned in a stove,
it was learned today. A heat-exploded
shell was found in the chamber. and
the temper had been baked from the
barrel and springs.
Presumably the murderer of the 19-
year-old girl threw the gun into the
stove beside the cot on which the body
was found at 18 Nineteenth street
southeast on the morning Of Decem-
ber 81, 1890.
Police combed the death house and
the surrounding yard after an under
taker found a bullet in the girls brain.
They examined every inch of the
house and the wooded lot behind in
a futile effort to find the gun.
The three-year-old grandson of the
present tenant found the automatic
recently where it had lain buried for
years in the ashes behind the house
The exploded shell in the chamber
was Of the same caliber and manu-
facture as two empty shells found
near the body.
Barrel Is Rusty.
Lieut.. John Fowler, police ballistics
expert, was examining the gun further
with microscope today. He said the
barrel was too rusty for a ballistics
comparison with the .25 caliber bullet
taken from the girls brain or with
the bullet dug from the floor after it
had penetrated the mattress on which
the girl lay.
Shortly after the murder police
sifted the ashes In the stove. They
found molten metal at first believed
to have been that Of the death gun.
Later examination disproved this
theory.
Lieut.. Fowler believes the bit of
metal was the chamber of the gun
found recently. The murderer, in all
probability. returned to the scene of
the crime in the early morning hours.
Presumably he found the gun had not
been destroyed in the stove and re-
moved it to bury it outside.
The identification number on the
| outside had been filed away. Fire
and rust, however, had not effaced
duplicate number on the inner parts.
Lieut.. Fowler found this and police
have broadcast a description in the
hope of tracing the owner.
Owner Is Sought.
Manufacturers and dealers In fire
arms were being canvassed today by
members of the homicide squad.
Meanwhile, Lieut.. Fowler learned
the marking on the firing pin and
the chamber resembled those on the
two shells elected from the auto
matte in the murders hand.
At least dozen suspects we're ex-
amined and released by police after
the murder. The Limerick girl. a
| comely brunette was secretary of the
Sky High Whoopee Club and had nu-
merouS boy friends.
These she referred TO in her diary
found by police in the basement room
where her body lay.
Rumors of impending arrests In the
case we're denied today by Lieut..
Fowler. He said clues taken from the
gun so far had thrown no suspicion
on any particular person.

Alaska May Proue Too Harsh
For Colonists Staked by U. S.
Conflicting Testimony Predicts Success
and Certain Failure of Group
Transplanted by F. E. r. A.

three years it will be Just another Of
those thingsp"
Relief statistics show some justifl-
cation for the critical attitude toward
importing labor and colonizers TO the
territory, as recent figures showed
about $500 individuals on relief in
addition to about $50 families. Work
relief was being furnished majority
Of the individuals.
On this point, Anthony j. Dimond,
delegate to the House of Representa-
tives from Alaska, admits that some
hard feeling exists among unemployed
there.
Some OF us felt that the unem-
ployed already in Alaska should have
been aided in this manner before
turning the opportunities over to
families from the States" Mr.. Dimond
said. Personally, I would have liked
TO see them get preference and I
made an effort to have unemployed
individuals in Alaska given the job
of clearing the land. I couldn't put
the idea over though"
Jardine Is Non Committal.
At the Department of Agriculture,
DR.. James T. Jardine, chief of the
Bureau Of Experiment Stations, re-
ported himself neither for nor
against the project"
Properly handled, that region will
produce potatoes, oats, barley, berries,
cabbage and some other crops" he
said. The yield is somewhat less
than similar farming efforts in the
States.
THE people going up there must
like that kind of life and they must
have no idea of making any money
Otherwise, they will fail"
To the charge that the valley soil
is never thawed at depth of more
than one foot, a qualified answer is
given by proponents of the plan:
1T would be more correct to say
that the uncleared land covered by
moss holds water and deep frost
Removal Of this moss, however, and
exposure of the land to the long days
of sunshine soon thaws the ground
out thoroughly"
Records of previous homesteading
activities along the Mantanuska show
that about 450 families settled there
at the time the Alaska Railroad was
constructed in 1914. OF that number
about $50 still are living in the region,
served by railroad that has operated
at deficit continuously since its con-
struction. Although the line has just
announced reduction in freight rates
as means of aiding the colonization
project, the 1884 deficit of the COM
pany was $183,729.
