Delaney said he hoped to have the
Chaperau-Lauer case set for trial
the middle of next week and the
Chaperau-BurnS case for the fol-
lowing week.
Miss D'Arville, who has sung with
the Metropolitan Opera Company,
went to Mr.. Delaneys Office volun-
tarily. She was a diner guest in
the Lauer apartment when Rosa
Weber, German-born maid, voiced
resentment at comments derogatory
to Adolph Hitler and refused to con-
tinue serving the meal.
Miss Weber made the affidavit
which the Government used in OBJ
tanning a search warrant directed
against the Lauers' Park avenue
apartment.
A Federal grand jury continued
its investigation of Chaperau's con-
nection with some of HOLLYWOOD s
luminaries. Mr.. Burns, whose wife
is Oracle Allen, was one of several
movie players to whom Chaperau's S
correspondence led Federal agents.
With an expression glumer than
any that ever greeted Gracie's Zany
remarks, Mr.. Burns hastened into
the Federal Court House yesterday,
solemnly pleaded guilty, replied to
all neWspapermen's questions with a
curt mo comment" and fled back to
the West Coast by plane.

He is expected to return and
testify for the Government when
Chaperau and Mrs. Lauer 60 on
trial on smuggling charges.
Judge William Bondy postponed
sentencing of Mr.. Burns until after
the Chaperau trial, indicating that
leniency might be given the come
dian, although he technically is
subject to maximum penalties Of 18
years imprisonment and fines total
ing $45.0O0. Mr.. Delaney asked con-
sideration for Burns.
Specifically, Mr.. Burns was in
dicted on a charge of smuggling
two bacelets and a ring valued at
$4,885.
His attorneys issued statement
saying Burns had no purpose or
intent" to violate the law, but "cir-
cumstances of this case indicate
violation of the customs laws with
respect to some novelty jeWelry
which Mr.. Burns purchased in New
York City"
One indictment named Mr.. Burns
and Chaperau; second, Mr.. Burns,
Chaperau and Paula Gheyskens, be-
lieved by Federal officers to be
Chaperau's wife.
Mrs. Lauer and Chaperau were
indicted December by the same
grand jury after raid on the Lauer
apartment in search of French
feminine finery.
Mr.. Burns planned to continue his
weekly Friday radio broadcasts from
Hollywood with his wife.

PARIS, Dec. 13.-The Chamber of
Deputies today approved Premier
Daladier's request for emergency
measures to speed passage of the or
dinary and extraordinary budgets
for 1899.
The measures, providing that the
appropriation bills be debated by
ministries instead of by more de-
tailed chapter divisions, were ap-
proved by a show Of hands.
Even the Socialists backed the
government on the vote, which was

By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Weaken-
ing Of British prestige in world af-
fairs is viewed by Thomas w. La
mont, senior partner of the Morgan
banking house, as a threat to the
security of the United States.
Crediting the might of Britain's
navy and its far-flung empire with
having held the door to prosperity
open to America from 1914 to 1914,
Mr.. Lamont asked: what kind of
a world will we face II Britain Is
brought to her knees? If the en-
pire Is disintegrated?"

Nine Are Arrested
As lithuania Fights
Rising Anti-Semitism

By the Associated Press.


KAUNAS, Lithuania, Dec. 13.-
Nine persons were arrested today as
the Lithuanian government moved
energetically against opposition ele-
mentS accused of fomenting disor-
ders following the Nazi victory in
Memel Diet elections on Sunday.
An official announcement said
considerable sums of money were
found on two of those arrested.
While anti-Semitism, spreading
into Lithuania from the Memel ter
ritory, was being linked with anti
government demonstrations, it was
rumored Germany was pressing for
the inclusion of former Premier
Augustine Waldemaras, once lead
er OF the Fascist Iron Wolf" or
ganization, in the government.
Waldemaras. considered pro-Ger-
man and anti-Polish, was believed
to be in France, where he went after
his release from prison several years
ago. (On June 18, 1884, a court
martial in Kaunas found WaIde-
maras guilty of an attempt to over
throw the Government, and SEN
fenced him to II years at hard
labor.
A rightest bloc, which now is op-
posing the government, advocates
a return to democracy" through
abolition of the present semi-dicta-
torship and settlement of relations
with the Vatican on terms accept
able to Catholic.
One of those arrested today was
Bistras Dielininkaitis, a leader of
the young Catholics organization.
He was arrested on the premises of
the Catholic youth group.
Striking students in Kaunas, for
hidden to meet by university au-
thorities, turned their anger into
slogans shouted against Jews and
the government.
Many believed that Waldemaras
supporters were lending secret sup
port to the students.
German sources said activities of
the pro-W Waldemaras group against
the government went beyond the
university boundaries.
$500 Demand New Government.
These sources said $500 persons
at a Memel mass meeting adopted
a strongly worded resolution de-
manding a new coalition govern
ment for Lithuania with Walde-
maras at its head.
Both President Smetona and
Memels veterinarian "fuehrer,"
Ernst Neumann, awaited word from
Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler as to
whether he wants Memel attached
to Germany as merely German in
TACT but not in name.
On Berlin the German foreign
office mouthpiece, Deutsche Dip
Observation-Disclosures Korrespond-
enz, said How the Lithuanian
government will act toward the
new expression of the will of
Memelland is essential for de-
termination of future develop
ments." 1t said there was no
traditional enmity" of Germans
toward Lithuanians.
prime Minister Chamberlain
disclosed in the British House of
Commons yesterday that Britain
and France had formally ex-
pressed the 'hope" that Hitler
would not annex Memel)

Continued From First Page

Federal Court last Thursday for re-
organization under the Federal
Chandler Act. simultaneously a
Federal inquiry, one by District At
torney Thomas E. DeWey's Office and
another by Attorney General John
j. Bennett, jr., got under way.
A brother-in-law of Coster's testi-
fed today in hearing in Benefits
Office that a sizeable brokerage &C
count in his name, John o. Jenkins,
was actually operated by Coster
himself.
jenkins is brother of Mrs. Carol
E. Coster, who is under temporary
court order restraining her from
using a 100000 brokerage account
In her name.
Jenkins told Assistant Attorney
General Ambrose v. Mccall he
worked for McKesson & Robbins
for four years prior to 1890.
The brokerage account in his
name is with the firm of Steiner,
Rouse & Co.
THE account was carried in nv
name" Jenkins said when Mccall
showed him document bearing the
name John o. Jenkins"
Would it be correct if I called it a
dummy account?" asked Mccall.
Il don't know the terms used in
such matters" Jenkins said.
who was the true owner?"
'Mr. Coster.'
Mccall showed Jenkins state
ment of the brokerage firm which
indicated payment on December
29, 1885, to the jenkins account of
$139,l3051 and asked Mr.. Jenkins
what he did with the check.
II indorsed it and gave it to Mr..
Coster," he said.
Next the Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral produced another account,
opened February 16, 1898, with one
entry on November 80, showing a
deposit of 10000 shares of McKes-
son & Robbins common and 1000
shares of preferred stock.
A final entry in the account indi-
Gated the sale of the preferred
stock and showed a balance of $14,-
600 in cash and the 10000 shares of
common stock.
Coster Ordered Trades.
Mr.. jenkins said all the transac-
tions he conducted were under or
ders from Coster. When Mr.. Nc
Call produced the record of a small
account in Mr.. Jenkins name, the
witness said that was his personal
account.
Harold Spear, broker and member
of the New York Stock Exchange,
testified he was a specialist on the
floor in McKesson & Robbins stock
and had cleared his transactions
through Steiner, Rouse g. Co. He
met Mr.. Jenkins through Coster, he
said.
Didn't you have discretionary
power to buy and sell for the John
o. jenkins account?" asked Mr.. Nc
Call.
The broker said that was so, add
Ing the arrangement had continued
since the opening of the account.
did you know whose account 1t
was?" Mr.. Mccall asked.
ut belonged to Jenkins so far as
I knew" Mr.. Spear replied.
Mr.. Spear said he also had dis
cretionary power over Mrs. Coster's
account which was opened in March
1887. Orders to buy and sell for
this account, he said, were made un-
der the direction of Coster.

Larger D. {. Staff
Will Aid in Cut
Of Relief Rolls
Cases Will Be Dropped
Or Transferred to
Social Security

While little change in the Dis
trict's relief load occurred last
month, relief officials said today an
increase in the case work staff would
make possible the dropping of a
larger number of cases per month
or their transfer to social security
categorieS.
The November report of Miss Alice
Hill, relief director, to the Board
of Public Welfare contained new
protest against the inability of the
case work staff to keep abreast of
current work, checking on old cases
and investigation of new applicants.
The report brought out that 429
applications for old age assistance
which had been pending since Aug
ust, many of which had been filed
months previous, had been reduced
by but 20 since then. Miss Hill
said this was due to the large VOL
ume of work to be kept current
which had made 1t impossible for
the curtailed staff to make investi-
cations needed to recommend grants
for those who are probably eligible"
Only Ill Cases Closed.
Miss Hill reported that only Ill
cases receiving direct relief were
closed during November. In this
connection she declared: IF the case
work staff were larger, so that the
case loads of each worker were
smaller, it is probable that so per
cent more cases could have been
closed by determination of their
eligibility for old age assistance or
aid for dependent children, or be-
cause it would have been possible
through case work services to have
helped more families to make their
own adjustments.
ut has been repeatedly proved
that lower case loads increase eff
cheney in relief administration and
make for economy, as rehabilitation
of the family is speeded up through
the services of the case worker.
''It is equally true that 'chiselers'
can be more rapidly eliminated from
relief rolls when the worker is able
to give time and attention to each
case for which she is responsible"
Average Load Is IT'S.
In this connection she reported
that in the case of the category for
aid to dependent children, the aver
age case load is some ITS per worker,
with some running as high as 355
cases.
There was an increase of, roughly,
100 per cent in the number of ap-
plications for aid for nonresident
single men, as compared with Octo-
ber, and the 400 applications in this
class was greater than the intake"
for any one month during the last
year and a half. Miss Hill attributed
this development in part to recent
publicity concerning an increase in
building activities in the District,
which brought many applicants for
jobs to Washington; the arrival of
the holiday season, which she said
always brings persons to Washing
ton who hope to procure seasonal
work at the Post Office and the
opening of additional veterans hos
pital beds at Hampton, Va. which
was reported to have brought many
veterans to the District.
The final two sections of the re-
port of Burdette G.. Lewis on his in
vestigst zion on the adequacy. and
efficiency of the District relief ad-
ministration are expected to be filed
Thursday with the Advisory Com
mittee, headed by Ringgold Hart,
and the entire report then will be
filed with congressional committees.

Our lesson for this week is g
fitting climax to a study of the
Zen Commandments and the
teachings of Jesus concerning
tnem. The subject, "Christ's New
Commandment, ana its accom-
2a-ying Golden Text gives us
the Eoc- ssary motivating power
that should eXabie US to keep all
u Gods Commandments - that
cow + is love.
For centuries the Jews had
been taught that it was essential
toc them not only to love God
but also their neighbors. Yet it
was left to the founder of Christ
ianity to give to the world a prop
81 example of the meaning of this
doctrine, which he did both by
tie spoken word and the acted
iced.
Sad though it is, it is never
thelezs true, that not every
church member is a Christian. A
man or woman practicing the
principles of Jesus in any given
community will stand out and be
easily distinguished by those who
come in contact with him from
The others, some of whom may be
enrolled on the list of church
membership. Christianity III it's
application to life, has been de-
fined as the habit of love in ac-
ton.
Think of others and help them
as you go through life; this is
the commandment that Jesus
gave in his teaching. 1t is a mes
sage which many need in this
modern age when so much en-
phasis is placed upon our OWE
comfort, ease and pleasure, and
so little concern is taken in the
happiness and welfare of others.
II is interesting to note that the
helpfulness with which Jesus
used TO illustrate his teaching
here was not in any big thing but
n the simple essentials of life,
food, clothes, health, companion
ships and rehabilitation. TO prac-
tice in these arts any man or
woman is capable and able if
3ui3ed by the proper spirit.
These duties we owe 20 our
reighbors, and some of us. like

who our neighbors arc. A Jesus
