RAZOR D|VESTS
PRESIDENT OF
S|DEBURNS
BY GEORGE DURNO

LETANG HARBOR, N. B.,
July %. 0.N.S0.-After welding
a razor on the magnificent side
burns he grew in two weeks Of
cruising, President Roosevelt, once
more clean Shaven, prepared to-
day to swing the Schooner Sc
wanna into Welchpool, Campo
bello, and turn the trim two-mas-
ter over to his sons for delivery
back at Gloucester. Mass, where
she was chartered.
At Campobello, the executive
will join Mrs. Roosevelt at their
summer cottage for twoday stay
before journeying to Quebec for
a brief visit with Lord Tweeds-
muir, governor general of Ca
NADIA.
Following an eight-hour stay in
Quebec Friday, the president is ex-
pected to go by train to an un-
announced point in Vermont and
motor down through the New
England area. His objective will
be the family estate at Hyde Park,
N. Y.
Sees Hopkins Today
Mr.. Roosevelt will see WPA Ad-
miniStrator Harry Hopkins today.
Hopkins, who has been a guest at
Campobello the last four days, has
"a very definite idea of a way"
to utilize the $1,500,0 900 model vii
lage erected near Eastport, Me-,
to house those working on the
PaSSamaquoddy Dam project.
Because Congress refused to ap-
propriate more funds, the Quoddy
embarrassing project has come
to StandStill and the expensive
village is lying idle.
Until the WPA administrator
confers with Mr.. Roosevelt he de-
clineS to disclose his very def
mite idea" 1t was reported he
had in mind making the village
into a convaleScent base for vet
Grams.
This morning the Savanna rode
at anchor off L'Etang. N. B.,
about IL miles north of Campo
bello. Mrs. Roosevelt and a few
friends tentatively planed to
board the destroyer Hopkins or
one Of the other vessels that have
been conveying the presidential
schooner and cruising up the final
anchoring for a picnic.
Makes Brief Stop
The President stopped briefly
at Campobello yesterday on his
way north through Lubec passage.
Mrs. Roosevelt, her friends, the
Misses Nancy Cook and Marian
Fickerman, Hopkins and his wife,
Col. Phillip B. Fleming and Mr..
and Mrs. Gorha Hubbard, of
Baltimore, went aboard the So
foot schooner for lunch.
Mrs. Roosevelt was startled to
see her husband adorned with a
pair of sideburns that just missed
being mutton chops" of the old
order. Her eldest son, James,
grinned amiably over a rather
poor attempt at a goatee. Frank
lin, jr., and John, the other men,
bers of the three-son crew, were
clean ShaVen.
After a stop of an hour and
half, Mrs. Roosevelt and her
guests left the Savanna and the

NEW YORK. July % GN.SO.
In 1888, Mrs. Garnet McCabe
faced possibility of death in the
electric chair for the Staying OF
her millionaire husband, Everett
McCabe.
Today, she faced probability Of
absolute freedom to enjoy the Nc
Cabe millions.
A month after her indictment,
she was declared insane. Last De-
cember, she obtained a writ OF
habeaS corpus, contending alien
lists gave conflicting testimony on
her sanity.
Today, authorities agreed to her
release on her own recognizance,
rare step in firSt-degree murder
case unless dismissal of the indict-
ment is contemplated.
At Mrs. McCabe'S lunacy hear
ing, it was said she was still af-
fected by grief over death of their
22-year-old son at the time Nc
Cabe was slain.

Police Heads Told
To Sleep at Home

HILAD PHIA. G.N.SO.
Wives of police inspectors and cap
tains won't be lonely" at night
anymore.
Mayor s. Davis Wilson has seen
to that by issuing an order to all
inspectors and captains to sleep at
home-at least from midnight on.
For 20 years these men have
spent their nights in the station
houses in compliance with an old
rule requiring them to be there
subject to instant call. A score of
touching letters from lonely"
wives caused Mayor Wilson to
abolish the rule and to order the
captains and inspectors to sleep
at home.

~oKo can't talk himself out Of

He can howl with rage or

Yet if he had a more extensive
vocabulary he probably would be so
near the status of man that no one
would put him in a cage for life

Soko was only a "boy," just 3la
years old. when he came to the Zoo

William H. Blackburne used to lead
him about the park by the hand like

Soko was well-behaved. In fact,

Police sent q wire to Boulton. who

reported Boulton could not be located
Freeman, who turned his palatial

mitted to Gallinger Thursday when
he disturbed patrons Of Turkish

Hospital authorities have not dag
nosed Freeman's case. DR.. Joseph l.
Gilbert, chief Of the psychiatric ward
said the man is suffering from mental
trouble Of some kind. but that it will
require some time to determine the
exact nature of his illness.
Freeman. nationally famous as ar

He wrenched free from Mr.. Black
burne's grasp and made after his

Only the prompt action Of Mr..
Blackburne and two other keepers
prevented Soko from Furnishing the

After that Soko went behind the bars
to stay.
The great ape from equatorial
Africa is one of the best-known ami
mails in any zoo in the East.
He gets a lot of attention from
his old friend Blackburne. Soko is
allowed 'outdoors only on the warm

In Winter, when 1t seems little
chilly in the lion house, Soko gets
blanket which he pulls over him
when he goes to bed for the night.
The chimpanzee is particularly sus-
ceptible to hung infections and rarely
lives to Soko's age in captivity.

WP.A. ALLOTMENT
IS URGED FOR NEW
JAIL IN DISTRICT.
Conditions Serious and Cost.
Iy, Social Agencies Com
mittee Says. a.
STRUCTURE LACKING
IN MANY FACILITIES
Letter Tells Committees It Was
Completed in 1875 and En-
larged in 1927.

Declaring the District Jail obsolete
and outmoded," the Corrections Com
mittee of the Council of Social Agen-
cies yesterday urged the District Com
missioners to seek an allotment OF
p. w. A. funds for construction Of .
new Jail.
Writing to the Commissioners, j. A.
Nolan, secretary Of the committee,
pointed out that the present jail was
completed in 1876. and that the only
real enlargement of its original facili-
ties was an addition to the east wing
in 1927.
Nolan stressed the lack of facilities
for segregating youthful and first Of
tenders from the old timers who have
shown themselves to be hardened
criminals.
Serious and Costly.
"It is a serious and costly matter
for the community to permit this
situation to continue" the letter read
1T is one thing to talk about crime
prevention and control, but another
question entirely in carrying out pre-
vention If first offenders are to be
cooped up with the hardened criminal
type"
Declaring the present jail in no way
compares with modern standards OF
penal institutions, Nolan said the
structure now in use is practically i'm
possible to heat, light or ventilate
properly. He also pointed out there Is
no central cell-locking system, making
1t necessary to lock and unlock each
cell individually.
over a period of years." the letter
continued, there have been many
times when the jail was seriously over
crowded and a number of inmate!
have been required to sleep on the
cell floors. The cells are built fol
three inmates, which is contrary to
the modern trend of construction
which builds cells for one inmate
only"
Lack of Death House.
Another condition attacked is the
lack of . death house or execution
chamber. The letter pointed out that
prisoners under death sentence are
executed in the mess hall of the mis-
demeanor cell block between meals
(which makes 1t decidedly unpleasant
for the prisoners who have to clear
up one meal in a hurry to clear the
hall. and then eat again soon after
wards on the spot where some one
has just died"
Lack of facilities for outdoor exer-
cises also was criticized.
