Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCHESTER, Mimi, July (N.A
N,Ao.-Letters and kilograms were
piling up last night about the bedside
OF James Roosevelt, secretary to and
eldest son of the President. His tele-
phone tangled with scores of long dis
tance calls.
Hotels in the little town of Roch-
ester, made nationally famous by the
surgical skill of the Mayo brothers
and the associates they have grouped
about them buzzed with gossip.
But jimmy" isolated in his room
In st. Mary's Hospital, remained
silent. Aside from his first terse
statement issued through his physi-
clan that he was indignant over Ger
tain outright Misrepresentation" in
the current magazine article that dis
cusses his income as an insurance
agent and reports it to have been
from $3.50, ,00G to $4,000, 900 a year, he
vas making no public comment.
There was no doubt. he felt the i'm
pact of the article keenly There is a
distinct medical aspect to his present
silence. Treatment of a gastric ulcer
however slight. officials of the clinic
pointed out. requires rest and quiet.
Obviously. the flood of messages
since the publication of the article
hasn't been exactly what the physi-
clans would order.
Telegraph Offices report quite dis
tinct increase in business. Newsstands
and drug stores say it is impossible te
purchase copy of the magazine with
the article. One store sold out its
orders three times.

cidal"
Gala van Syckle of the Plattsburg
State Normal School. chairman, said
in his report the bill attempts to reg
ulate production and prices The
philosophy of scarcity. on which it is
largely based, is suicidal from the point
of view of society"
THE act may lead to unexpected
shifts in fields of production with
the necessity then for further regula-
tion,' said the committee, continuing:
The Sugar Act of 1887 represents
legislation which aims to maintain a
sick industry at the expense of con-
sumers
The Guffey Coal Act of 1887 was
established for the purpose of fixing
prices in the bituminous coal indus
try. It was expected the act would
result in higher industrial prices, but
lower household. This argument over
looks the fact that consumers will
carry the increase whichever way 1t
is adjusted"

The territory formerly handled by
the second precinct has been divided
roughly between it and the new No. 13.
Maj. Brown said that the change was
made principally in the interest Of the
closer supervision Of the men which
two captains would provide.
Although the work of both precincts
is temporarily being carried on in the
old No. Station House, there was re-
markably little confusion as the police
day. started of At 3 am. today.
Probably the only disturbing factor
in an otherwise smooth division Of the
second precinct was the fact that
Policeman Orne J. Henning, attached
to No. 2, was forced to admit to
superiors last night, 4 half hour be-
fore he quit work with No. 2 to take
up his new duties with No. 3, that his
badge had been stolen from his shirt
which was hanging on the wall of 4
room ut the precinct.
Although the badge still hadn't been
located this morning. Capt. Sullivan
pooh-hooed the idea somebody took It.
He probably mislaid It," Capt. sulli-
van said. "Once when I was on the
bicycle squad thought had
lost my pistol, but I hadn't. I'd Just
gone OF and left it." The boys
oughtn't TO get 20 excited when they
lose their stun."

The new Thirteenth precinct might
have started of its first days work
with q bang today except for the fact
that the first prisoner sort of gummed
up the works by being in such q sod
den condition that he couldn't re-
member his name.
The brilliant solution of some muir
der or the arrest of three desperate
bank robbers would have been much
more in keeping with the flower
garlanded ceremonies this morning
celebrating the Inauguration Of the
new precinct.
Instead, just as Police Supt. Ernest
w. Brown, Inspector Bernard Thomp-
son and a number Of civic ofncials
were making their speeches in came a
shufiiing, dull-eyed colored man as
sisted by a policeman. After consid-
cradle questioning police finally gave
up, booked him only as John Doe
and ushered him back to cell to
try to remember.
Delegates from q number Of civic
organizations. including the Mid City
and Logan Thomas Circle Citizens
Associations, end several police OH
cials gathered at the precinct to con-
gratulate and pay tribute to Capt.
James 8. Bobo. new commander of
No. 13, and Capt. jeremiah A. sulli-
van. who was transferred from No.
to head No. 4
