NEW YORK, November 12.-Dr.

worried by . process server who pur-
sued him in Chicago.
His only comment as he arrived In

A spokesman said, however, that
DR.. Dafoe, who attends the Dionne
quintuplets, did not know what the
summons concerned. Fred Davis, q
photogra pher, who accompanied the
doctor. said it concerned a promoters
suit for breach Of contract, resulting
from the failure of efforts to exhibit
the quintuplets st the Chicago Gen.
tury of Progress exposition.
Davis related that he met the
process server and tossed the sum-
mons to q Chicago newspaper man
just as DR.. Dafoe's plane took of.

TALK WITH SPIRITS

Mrs. Houdini Challenges Mediums
Who Claim Proof of Com.

BY the Associated fTesS.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, November H.
Mrs. Harry Houdini, widow Of the
world-famed magician. said last night
she was firmly convinced that COM
munication with the dead is a human
impossibility and l challenge any me-
dium who proclaims tangible proof"
She stopped here overnight en- route
from her home in Hollywood to visit
her mother in New York City. On
Halloween Mrs Houdini conducted at
Hollywood her final and unsuccessful
attempt to communicate with the
spirit of her husband, who died 10
years ago.
She told Of trying constantly
throughout the 10 years to communi-
cate with Houdini. and said that "as
fantastic as 1t sounds, In the beginning
I did believe there was q means Of
communicating with my husband
along the lines of spiritualism"
I'VE formed q pact during the early
part Of our married life toward this
end" she said. Because we were pro-
fessional magicians, naturally it was
logical to assume the possibility Of
such a phenomena. Mr.. Houdini was
q brilliant man, an accomplished stu
dent, inventor and scholar as we'll as
q magician; SO who can blame me for
believing my husband capable of per-
forming such q miracle?"

The Presidents message was q
greeting for the 10th birthday anni-
versary of this farm organization,
which has members in 35 States. 1t
was sent to Louis J. Taber, national
grange master, to be read at birthday
party this afternoon.
Through you as master Of the
National Grange, I wish to send my
greetings to the membership" the Pres
idents message said.
"As you meet this week in anniver-
sary session the Grange looks back
upon 10 years Of steadfast effort to
improve American agriculture as
business and as a way of life. The
Nation needs strong leadership today.
I'VE have made progress in the
fight to achieve real equality for sgri-
culture. but We must strive TO con-
tinue this progress. Natinal and in
ternational problems demand the
earnest attention Of groups such as
ocratic processes may be brought TO
bear effectively upon their solution. I
congratulate you, my fellow members
Of the Grange, upon your record and
join with you in your determination
to 60 forward"
Mr. Roosevelt. Grange member for
as years. holds the organizations
highest honor-the seventh degree
which 10000 members received hers
today.
Grange Pledges Support.
A pledge that the Grange would CO.
operate with President Roosevelt came
from the farm organizations leader
yesterday with an assertion. however,
that farmers themselves preferred to
control any permanent Government
farm program.
National Master Taber told the ses-
sion: The grange pledges to this ad-
ministration any assistance, co-opera-
ton or support it can render.
I'VE have faith in the Government
and its administrators, but We think
farmers themselves best know what
agriculture needs.
This administration has great OPP
portunity to make an outstanding
contribution to national welfare by
correcting injustices wherever found.
by completing the great work Of pro-
noting liberty and human welfare.
Legislation Changes Needed.
"We believe that the worst Of the
has passed and that some
of the temporary legislation should be
replaced or amended.
IF there is to be permanent,
practical, continuous farm program
to restore and maintain farm pros
perity and farm purchasing power.
that program must provide for guild
ance and control by the cooperating

unanimously to support the amend

there that the national representation

BABY DOG SAVED

NEW ORLEANS. November Ia
There were many would-be foster
parents today for the blue.eyed, blond
baby boy mysteriously brought out Of
the piney woods Of st. Tammany
Parish by q dog.
Doctors at Charity Hospital said the
infant apparently was about . days
old and In good health. 1t weighed
s pounds and 3 ounces.
Most insistent of those seeking the
child was Mrs. Louis e. Crawford. wife
of . Works Progress Administration
employe. making $26.25 q month.
Mrs. Crawford said she stepped from
the porch Of her one-room cabin home
near Pearl River late Tuesday to take
the infant from "a great big brindle
dog" She said the animal was carry
ing 1t through the woods in his mouth
and that the child was wrapped in q
coarse swaddling cloth.
Welfare workers brought the baby
to the hospital here over the protests
of Mrs. Crawford.
Il found that baby" she said. II
saved his life. I'm not going to give
him up. Ill move heaven and earth
to get him back" Mrs. Crawford has

saw the baby wanted to adopt it.

The mystery surrounding the baby
was as deep as ever. 1t was thought

ENTIRE CABINET
LIKELY TO RESIGN
Act of "DeIicacy" Would
Give President Free Hand
to Appoint.
y the Associated Press.

President Roosevelt's entire cabinet
may resign before his second in
auguration next January 20-but
that's just an old cabinet custom.
With conjecture rife concerning the
probable makeup of the next cab
met. White House attache expressed
belief the 10 present cabinet officers
would tender their designations near
the close Of Mr.. Roosevelts current
term "as a matter of delicacy," thus
leaving him free to reappoint whom
he desired.
At the State Department, however.
experts on precedent said neither Am
baSsadors nor Ministers would submit
designations inasmuch as the election
produced no change OF administra-
ton.
Changes in Custom.
Where the cabinet is concerned, a
search Of treatises on the subject in
the Library Of Congress disclosed some
changes in custom over the years,
especially regarding the reappoint-
ment of cabinet members by hold
over Presidents.
Originally, person nominated and
confirmed to q cabinet position held
his office without a new appointment
and new commission under a Presi-
dent succeeding himself one his
torian wrote. but a custom grew up
that when q President. elected to a
second term. desires to retain any
member Of his former cabinet, for him
to renominate such a person to the
Senate"
President Wilson. however, did not
60 through the formality of renomi-
mating the members he retained in his
second cabinet, the writer said. and
neither did President Coolidge when
he succeeded Harding. These Presi-
dents just retained certain old cabinet
members without reappointment.
Indefinite Appointment.
In the early days of the country,
cabinet members were not appointed
for any fixed term, but an act of
Congress in 1866 provided they should
hold office during the term of the
President by whom they were ap-
pointed and for one month there
after. Now, White House sources said,
they hold office at the pleasure of
the President"
A clause to this effect was inserted
in the commissions issued cabinet Of
ficers by President Jackson. and White
House oficials said present-day COM
missions retain the stipulation.
Another side light on presidential
cabinets is that there is nothing in
the Constitution requiring organiza-
ton of such q body. One clause pro-
yides that the Chief Executive may
require in writing the opinions Of any
Of the principal officers of the execu-
tive departments. but nowhere is he
specifically directed to form them into
q cabinet or to consult them.
