F|NNAN N0VERR|DES
F|REW0RK PROTEST
Will Permit Display at Water
Gate July 4-TaIk of
Risk Discounted.

Protests by park police against stag
ing the Fourth Of July fireworks dis
play at the Water Gate OF the Arling-
ton Memorial Bridge because Of safety
hazards were overridden yesterday by
c. Marshall Finnan, superintendent Of
the National Capital parks.
Pointing out that thousands Of Boy
Scouts who will be here for their
jamboree will swell the usual 1nde-
pendence day crowds. Capt. P. J. Car
roll Of the park police had told the
Independence day Celebration Com
mittee Friday that he is fearful that
some spectators may be pushed into
the river and drowned II the display
IS held at the Water Gate.
Arlington Memorial Bridge would
have to be closed II the display is held
at the Water Gate. Capt. Carroll
added He pointed out that this would
cause bad traffic jams on Highway
and Key Bridges.
Capt. Carroll suggested that the fire.
works display be held on the Ellipee,
Wnere IL mas been staged without mis-
hap in former years.
Finnan conceded that a difhcult
police problem will result If the dis
play is held at the Watergate, but said
the regular park police force would be
reinforced by members of the metro
politan police force and building
guards of the National Park Service.
Il do not feel that we are taking
any unnecessary risks in using the
Watergate,' Finnan said. I'VE feel
that the situation will be taken
care Of"
Capt Carroll had pointed out that
citizens without automobiles would
have difficulty in reaching the Water
gate, but Finnan said negotiations are
now under way to secure an adequate
supply Of busses to run to the Lincoln
Memorial on the night OF the cele-
bration.
Final selection Of the site OF the fire
works display will be made by the In
dependence Day Committee headed
by Commissioner Melvin c. Ha1en.

nope 10 make full living on them.
Meanwhile, the National Parks
Service had capitulated to the extent
OF accepting the land needed in the
park area with the understanding
that the undesirable tenants move
as soon as possible to farms of their
own or to the substance homesteads.
1t was agreed that they could stay in
their miserable cabins until the new
homes were ready.
That Is how it stands today. The
Mount Ida project Is ready. all but
Its water system. An unexpected
dinculty was encountered here by the
engineers, but 1t was successfully over
come and crews now are busy laying
pipes to the houses. The new bathtuhs
OF course, make water imperative.
Otherwise the mountain brook might
serve.
The plan, Mr.. Zerkel says, is eventu-
ally to sell the homesteads to the
mountaineers. First, however, 1t Is
planned to bring them in on leases-
one-year-leases and ive-year Leases,
according to the type of homestead.
This is to test them QUITO see
whether 1t Is humanity possible for
them to earn enough to purchase the
properties on long-term payment
plans. 1t will also, Of course, give the
tenant an opportunity to decide
whether he wants to purchase
Cost Undetermined.
Now, as to the matter of price. Mr..
Zerkel was unable to say what the
homesteads are costing the Govern
ment. All tie records, he insisted,
were in the files OF the construction
division OF the Resettlement Admins
tration in Washington. Locally, he
insists, the land purchase and con-
struction have been quite economical.
But so far as the mountaineers are
concerned, he says, 1t makes no dif-
ference what the properties cost. It
Is proposed to lease them, and even
tually sell them, not ON the basis OF
the cost. but on the valuation put upon
them by the assessors Of the county
IN which they are located. Somebody
IN Washington may have made mis-
takes-perhaps even stupendous mis-
takes. That's for the Senator to
expose. But the loss will be Uncle
Sam's-not the homesteade-'s.
Incidentally, as to the celebrated
electric ice boxes-they know nothing
about them at Luray. One of the
other seven projects does call for
refrigeration, but this Is to be had
for nothing and is quite another story.
Nobody has ever proposed, or even
dreamed, of electric ice boxes or any
other kind Of ice boxes In the Ida
Valley.
II the project Is abandoned, Mr..
Zerkel and his associates ask, what's
the alternative?
The mountaineers are ready to
move. They have got to move. Only
= limited number of them can be
expected to be self-supporting without
Government aid. To throw them out
OF the park without providing a place
for them might be little short of
murder. The self-supporting, self
reliant families already have taken
care of themselves. There remain
$50 families for which something must
be done.
The Ida Valley project is the most
advanced OF the seven which consti-
tute the Shenandoah homesteads
which Senator Byrd wishes to abandon
The others were planned and launched
by the RAsettlement Adnini.tr.tiox,
itself.

ORD0N'SLAWYERS
SEEK SPECIAL ACT
Cummings Studies Proposal
He Back Plan to Aid
New Trial Plea.

Attorney General Cummings Is con-
sidering proposal that he seek spe-
cial legislation to enable Thomas Jor-
don, condemned as murderer, to ap-
peal for new trial on the basis Of
recently discovered evidence in his
favor.
The proposal was made yesterday
In letter sent to Cummings by Har-
~ T. Whelan and william B. O'Con-
nell. attorneys for the former busboy.
who is due to be electrocuted June II
unless a pending move for executive
clemency proves fruitful.
The new evidence, which includes 4
police incidental describing the slayer
OF Mrs. Lizzie Jaynes as 6 feet tall,
whereas Jordon, convicted for the
murder. Is Of less than average height,
is being studied carefully by Pardon
Attorney Daniel M. Lyons at direction
OF Cummings.
Appeal Lost on Technically.
Because the evidence was not dis
closed within so days after final judg-
ment was entered against Jordon, the
United States Court Of Appeals has
turned down the prisoners appeal for
a new trial. The Supreme Court has
held that such evidence should be pre-
sented within the 60-day period.
The defense attorneys asked Cum
mings to recommend Immediately to
Congress an amendment to existing
court laws so ss to permit an applica-
ton for a new trial to be entertained
on the ground OF newly discovered
evidence, in all capital cases, "at any
time before execution" =.
Says Case illustrates Need.
1T Is not our desire solely to have
this amendment enacted for the pur-
pose of granting relief to Jordon," the
letter said, but it Is our contention
that Jordon's case illustrates the
necessity for such q law in order to
prevent q gross miscarriage of justice"
Lyons is expected to submit to
Cummings in few days q report on
his renewed study Of the Jordon case.
Prior to discovery Of the new evidence,
President Roosevelt had denied cIem-
ency to Jordon. With reopening Of
the case by the Justice Department,
however, the date for the execution
was extended to June IA.

BALTIC SOCIETY
RECALLS VOYAGE
Peri|ous Trip With Pershinq
Discussed at Reunion
Dinner.

Two dozen members Of the first
military mission to 90 abroad after
the United States entered the World
War met over a twentieth anniversar,
dinner here last night to discuss theil
historic voyage with Gen. John J
Pershing aboard the liner Baltic.
Capt. George E. Adamson, U. S. A
who was the generals secretary at
the time, recalled q grave moment
when Pershing received . code radio
message at sea from the Army chief OF
STAFF advising that the German secret
service knew the American COM
mander and his stan had sailed on
the Baltic.
Pershing and his party Of 100 Army
and civilian experts had embarked
in greatest secrecy. Dressed tn civilian
clothes, they had gone to Governors
Island in small groups aboard regular
passenger ferries. A tug picked them
up there and met the Baltic three
hours at sea.
Submarines Were Active.
Yet the Germans were informed
OF the maneuver and their subma-
rines were particularly successful
against merchant shipping at that
time. There was danger that the
American commander and his aides
might suffer the fate of Great Brit
aims Lord Kitchener
The Baltic, in her camouflaged
paint, was approaching the danger
zone by zigzag course. Already she
had received S o messages from
sinking vessels In the war zone. The
War Department message suggested
that Gen. Pershing use his own judg-
ment about proceeding or ordering
the Baltic to return to the United
States.
There was only one answer to
that suggestion" said Capt. Adanson,
and you know what it was-go
ahead. We picked up our escort OF
British destroyers and proceeded to

At Sea 10 Days.
The Baltic sailed May %, 1917, and

-BEAUT1---.-.--------'-- GlorVymg
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

This spring, screen stars favor extremely simple daytime coiffures and very elaborate ones for evening. When they are not in the studios making pictures or at parties, Holly woods actresses affect hairstyles that are f1attering to their faces, easy to manage, comfortable to wear.
 Doris Nolan, a promising starlet, whose fine blond hair looks like spun gold in the sunlight, likes a simplefi rather long bob. At night, she winds a long braid (She had it made when she cut her hair years ago) around her head in halo effect and fixes the ends of it in loose curls on the right side.
 Moody Modes
 Binnie Barnes explains that, as far as she is concerned, coiffure is completely matter of mood.
 "When I feel tired I just brush and comb my hair simply backward, arranging only one curl in front. But when I am gay and cheerful, I like to curl the ends, letting the lit tie ringlets form a fluffy garland wkhich contrasts sharply with the fiat part"
 Polly Rowles, who was Pitts burgh debutante before she became motion picture actress, is fond of streamline coiffure with neat curls above the forehead and the rest of the hair drawn sleekly backward to set off the shape of her head. She has time to have this arranged only on special occasions, however For general wear, Polly simply brushes her hair off her face and lets the ends curl upward at the nape of her slim neck
 Don't Be Too Fancy
 If you are contemplating a new daytime hairstyle (and this is the time of year to do it), don't copy a fancy coiffure your favorite screen star wore in picture. Elaborate types are for formal hours.
 Anyway, it generally is as un- satisfactory to copy another's hair do as it is to copy her clothes or the way she puts on lipstick. Indiv- iduality is important, and it's smart to stress your own. Adapt others good ideas to suit yourself, but don't just copy. Be yourself-your love- Hest, healthiest, most neatly groomed self!

Do Not Confuse Typhoid, Typhus Fever; Latter Is Spread By Lice

plete delousing of the patient and of everybody who might have been in contact with him. In countries where lice abound, doctors, nurses, and attendants are thoroughly pro- tected by special white cotton or linen clothing which covers them from head to foot. At the end of the days work, they are given a bath and a complete change of clothing. All clothing which may have become contaminated is steril- ized by steam under pressure.
 When an infected patient is brought into a ward, the hair of his head is cut off with clippers, that on the rest of his body shaved of. He is then taken to bathroom and given a thorough bath with hot water and plenty of soap, after which he is removed naked to an- other room where he is given a completely new outfit that was pre- viously subjected to steam.
 Today typhus fever is treated with the use of serum from those who have recovered from the condition and with methods of treatment ap- ulied to each of the symptoms as they occur.

I pamphlet entitled "The Relation of Climate to the Treatment of Pull monary Tuberculosis" This pam phlet contains some authoritative information about chasing the cure, going west, south or anywhere away from home inquest of the rainbow. I advise any one who may con- template travelling or seeking bet ter climate to write to the Govern ment Printing Office for copy of this pamphlet, which should be free to any citizen but probably costs a nickel or so.
 Dr. Lawrason Browns "Rules for Recovery from Pulmonary Tu- berculosis," a little book published in many editions, by Lea & Febi- ger, New York, is an excellent guide book for any one who is in any way interested in any indi- vidual's battle with tuberculosis. l believe this book costs dollar.
 People who live with, care for, nurse. or otherwise come into fre- quent contact with a person who has tuberculosis will be interested in recent survey of Tuberculosis Among Nurses in England. Student nurses in hospitals having tubercu- losis service show from 56 to al- most 100 per cent infection by the end of their senior year-but only a few of the nurses so infected are ever harmed in the least by their infection. A mild infection tends to raise the natural immunity against more virulent or overwhelming in fections. The tuberculin positive nurse (reacting to the skin-tuber- chin test) is less likely to develop active tuberculosis from infection contracted in the course of her work about the tuberculous patient than is the tuberculin-negative nurse, who does not react to the tuber- culin test, has no tuberculosis any, where in her body.
 | About one out of seven super vising nurses gave x-ray evidence of the adult type of active tuber- culosis in the first x-ray picture. Ultimately five or six per cent of the large number of nurses studied developed X-ray evidence of the adult type of tuberculosis, but not al lof these became definitely tu- berculous.
 The survey suggested the patient should be taught in every case to cover his mouth with fresh paper napkins every time he coughs or sneezes and to expectorate into a paper receptacle that can be burned. Every nurse or other attendant or CT and daughter, sisters, girl friends, bench buddies, roommateS, husband and wife, should be carefully ex- amined by the physician and If necessary examined repeatedly in the course of a year following any such exposure to active tuberculosis This is vitally important when the individual whose health is concern ed experiences any alleged run down or tired out condition, need of a rest, overwork, anemia, effects of strain and worry, and all that poppycock.
 | The survey in England further suggested that only tuberculin- positive young men-that is. girls who react to the skin tuberculin test and presumably have a focus of latent tuberculosis somewhere and Q certain degree of natural im- munity therefrom, should be ad- mitted to nurse training schools in hospitals where tuberculosis patients are received.
