Prince Georges Jai|s
Man, Is, as Suspect
In CuIpeper Murder
Arrest at HyottsviIIe
Figures in BIudgeoning
Of Elderly Spinster

A 25-year-Old cOlOred man was
arrested by Prince Georges County
Md police last night and held in
Jail at Hyattsville in connection with
the murder of Miss Emma Doggett,
IS, who was found beaten to death
in her isolated cabin miles from
Culpeper. Va, yesterday morning.
Sheriff j. j. Nash of Culpeper
County was expected today to return
the suspect for questioning. but he
refused to state what clue had led
him to the Maryland town. 1t was
understood the man. formerly had
lived near Culpeper. but had not
been seen in the vicinity for about
two years until q. few days ago.
Commonwealth Attorney r. A.
Bickers, who also was expected to
question the man upon his arrival
at Hyattsville, said he had a bad
police record" during his residence
near here
Miss Doggett had been the VIC
tim of a robbery about two years
ago, when about $3.50 was taken, Mr.
Bickers said. Since that time, he
said, she had maintained her aver
sion to banks and was believed to
have had 500 or 5000 in the trunk
which was ransacked after she was
dubbed to death Friday night.
1T was one of the most brutal
murders I have ever SEEN" Mr.
.Bickers asserted. There were axes
and hammers around the place, but
I'm not sure yet that we have found
the weapon used"
Since the death of her brother
more than year ago, Miss Doggett
had lived alone on 50-acre tract
in the hills and kept to herself most
of the time, police said. She had
been on relief and the children of a
neighbor, Mrs. Arthur Taylor, were
taking her food when they discov-
cred her battered body yesterday
morning, according to police. Fin
gerprints were taken at the scene
of the Staying.

Film Producers Aqree
To Wage Increase,
Averting Strike
Croft Accepts Proviso
Pay Will Be Subject
To Feb. IS Revision
BY the Associated Press.


HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 25.-A strike
of $4,000 motion picture technicians,
which threatened to plunge the Ma
tion's theaters into darkness as we'll
as close the studios. was averted to-
day as producers agreed to a 10
per cent wage increase.
A stipulation that the increase
would remain effective only until
next February Is, when the wage
question would be reopened for con-
sideration, was accepted by officers
of "a A. F. L. unions of studio crafts
men.
"On or about February Is, 1910.
you will give us an opportunity to
show you that the condition of this
industry makes continuance of
wage increases impossible, and fur
ther to show you that we have TAX
en- every possible step within our
power to re-adjust our business so
as to make it possible to continue
without recalling these wage in
creases," the producers stipulated.
Surrender Specified.
Should they be able to make such
showing, they specified the unions
would surrender the wage increase
to be effective as of last October 10
and affect $4,000 studio employees
together with increases granted 12,-
900 other craft union members since
last August Is.
Otherwise, it was agreed, the wage
matter will be submitted to three
arbitrators whose decision would be
accepted as final by both the pro-
ducers and the unions.
Announcement of the strike set
tlement came after officers of the
studio unions had met with Will
liam Bioff, western representative of
A. F. L. movie craftsmen, to consider
their strategy in view of last nights s
announcement that a strike call
would be issued today.
A statement from the union con-
ference that the producers had Ca
PlIltldDCA w Oil Jul was
followed by announcement of the
producers reservations and later of
their acceptance by the craftsmen.
Amounts to About $4,000, 900.
Union sources estimated the an
nual increase to studio workers
would amount to about $4,000, 900
They said that because of the casual
nature of their employment the
annual wages of the studio crafts
men average only about 5000.
The union conference later issued
a statement saying:
"The position of the unions on
February Is will be as it is now and
has been consistently, that is. that
before any readjustment is allowed
to diminish the earning power OF
the studio workmen, the salaries Of
those receiving $4,000 week ano
upwards should be carefully scrut.

Nazis Twice Raid British Warships
In North Sea- Claiming Four Hits;
Mine Damages English Steamer
Sweden to Protest
Nozis Laying Mines
q Miles From Coast
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 25.-
The naval ministry today an
nounced that the Germans had
laid mines within four miles of
the Swedish coast, seriously
hampering shipping to and
from the Baltic. The foreign
office said that an immediate
protest would be made to Ber-
lin.
The new mines were reported
placed off Falsterbo, on the
southwestern tip of Sweden,
in Baltic waters over which
Sweden has maintained terri
torial jurisdiction for zoo years.
Now heavy cargo ships cannot
pass safely the narrow outlet
between Sweden and Germany.
Opposition was based eSpe-
cially on the grounds that the
mine fields would block trans
port of wood pulp westward.
Sweden also objects to using
Germany's Kiel Canal as an
alternate outlet from the Baltic
to the North Sea because the
Nazis at present are holding
more than 80 Swedish ships for
a check of their cargoes.

By DON S, WARREN.

Possibilities of achieving a saving
of perhaps as much as So 100000 in
repayment of the Districts P. w. A.
debt of nearly s1O,OOOOOO were ad-
vanced yesterday by Engineer Com
missioner David McCoach, jr.. in
offering plan to permit the Com
missioners to refund the debt
through bank loans, presumably at
much cheaper interest rates.
Proposed legislation to authorize
the Commissioners to enter into
such a refunding plan will be drawn
up shortly for consideration by the
Board of Commissioners, it was indi-
Gated, with the idea of asking con-
gressional action early in the next
session.
While not finally committed to the
plan, Col. McCoach revealed that he
had discussed the proposal with
Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, District
auditor, as result of review of
budget requirements on the District
for the next fiscal year, when re-
payment of the P. w. A. loans, with
interest at per cent, must begin.
Col. McCoach and Maj. Donovan
made clear the plan would be re-
stricted to refinancing arrange
ment and both emphasized it should
not be confused with any idea OF
empowering the Commissioners to
create any new debt. The proposed
legislation, if sent forward, they
said, would be restricted to re-
financing of existing and congress
sionally approved Indebtedness of
the District.
S15,592,373 Is Present Cost.
Inspiration for the proposal came
from study of the Districts obliga-
tions under the existing P. w. A,
program, which showed that the
District is required to pay to the
Federal Government a total of SIS
592 .373.60-in principal and interest
on the loan portion of the Dis
trict's sl8,150000 P. w. A. pro-
gram, which amounts to S9.982 500.
Interest payments would total S.
6O9,87s.6O.
No criticism was made of the Fed
eral P. w. A. plan, in which the
District is treated alike with the
States. In fact, District officials
argued the District was wise in seek
ing the loans and grants, since they
made possible long list of improve
ments which otherwise would have
had to be deferred for years.
The proposal. it was explained, is
based on the belief that the Dis
trict-with its gilt-edged security
could obtain loans from Washington
banks at perhaps roughly half the
interest rate that runs on the P
w. A. plan. The plan would be for
the District to borrow a suitable
sum from the banks, depending on
what terms might be arranged, and
to pay the United States some or all
of the Districts debt to the Govern
ment, thereby achieving. a consider
able saving in annual appropriations
which might be used for other pur-
poses or used to prevent a further
tax hike, or used to prevent unde-
sirable slashing of District budgets
$S00,O00 for First Payment.
The proposed 1941 budget for the
District carries an item of $500, ,0OC
as the first payment required in the
25-year plan for amortization of the
Districts P w. A. debt. Of this sum
S679 ,015.74 would be interest at 4 per
cent, while only $120,98426 would be
for curtailment of principal.
In the succeeding "a years, under
present financial arrangements, the
payments on principal would be

Pennsylvania Aliens
Join Citizenship Rush
BY the Associated Press.


HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. 25.-A
rush of aliens for citizenship papers
neared it's peak in Pennsylvania to-
day with the approaching headlines
of two bills designed to affect them.
Howard w. Russell, State secre-
tary of public assistance, said nat
uralization offices "all over the State
were swamped" with flood of ap-
plications for citizenship.
A clause in relief bill passed by
the 1889 Legislature makes aliens
ineligible for relief after January /,
1910, in certain instances, if within
two years previous they have not
filed a declaration of their intention
to become a citizen, to register and
be prepared to display their regis
tration card at all times. Unregis-
tered aliens will be forbidden to
own or operate automobiles.

BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
Chicago firm OF municipal en-
gineerS. made study of District
government and recommended
numerous changes. Representa-
tite Kennedy of Maryland, Who
1Oas instrumental in promoting
the study, sponsored Grifen-
hagen plan. Due to considerable
opposition, House District Com
mittee deferred action on bill at
last regular session of Congress.
Since, group OF District officials,
selected by Commissioners, de-
peloped another plan OF reor-
gdnisation.
Representative Kennedy, Demo-
crat. of Maryland yesterday fired
his first broadside at the plan de-
veloped by the so-called kitchen
cabinet" of the Commissioners for
revamping the District government
by charging it would increase rather
than decrease municipal operating
expenses
He declared the reorganization
program he is sponSoring-the one
recommended bv the Chicago firm
of Griffenhagen e. Associates -
would save District taxpayers at
least So 100000 a year, and that the
figure might even mount as high
as $5,000,000.
The criticism of Mr.. Kennedy
senior majority member of the
House District Committee, who for
several years has championed mod
ernization of the 81 year old
municipal government, came as an
unexpected prelude to public hear
ings the Commissioners are to start
tomorrow on the proposed new
setup. These hearings will be held
in the District Building, starting at
1890 am.
Many Scheduled to Appear.
More than half a hundred spokes-
men for local organizations have

ton plan prepared for their use

First Into Antarctic

THEY tell tall tales of explora.
L tons in the Antarctic. None of
them can compare, though, with the
trip of Nathaniel B. Palmer if sheer
adventure is the standard. Away
back in 1920 he was the first voyag-
er to reach the northern fringe of
the Antarctic continent.
A tall, blonde, Connecticut YAM
kee, Nat Palmer was still only in
his teens when he made the voy-
age as skipper of the sloop Hero.
The ship which penetrated farther
south than any other up until that
time was only so feet long-half the
size of the sailboat America" orig
inal winner of the first Americas
Cup race in 1851.
The voyage is more remarkable,
too, when you consider that it was
made almost 100 years before the
poles were finally reached.
Palmer himself has said, 81 point
ed the bow of the little craft to the
south ard and, with her wings
spread, mainsail abeam, jib abreast
The opposite bow, she speeded on
ier way to new sealing ground like a
hing of light With her flowing
sheet she seemed to enter into the
spirit which possessed my ambi-
ton, flew along the wave and over
pillow until she brought in sight of
land not laid down on my chart :"
Thus this lad discovered Palmer
land, archipelago of the Antarctic
continent, and proved by his de-
scription that he was as literary as
he was adventurous.

There she became the belle of the

ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
Elmo Scott Watson
A River Is Their Memorial

A R1Ver is Their memorial
a WAY back in 1889 Pierre and
Paul Mallet, Canadian traders,
heard of the wealth of far-away
Santa Fe where, it was said, the
Spanish senors wore silver buttons
on their clothes and the senoritas
had silver heels on their slippers.
So they enlisted six other venture
some Canadians and after a long
journey by boat and pack train, ar
rived in the New Mexican capital.
The Spanish governor was friend
ly but there was a law against
free trading. So the Mallets start
ed north, crossed the headwaters of
the Canadian (called the Colorado
by the Spaniards because of it's red
waters) and followed up the Pur-
gatoire to its junction with the Ar
kansas. There the party split up.
Three of the men, who were home
sick, started overland for Canada
and eventually reached Montreal
safely.
The Mallets, accompanied by two
others, went down the Arkansas and
the Mississippi to New Orleans,
where they reported their explora-
tons to Bienville, the governor,
whose efforts to find route to San
ia Fe had been unsuccessful. He
engaged them to guide another ex-
petition led by Andre de la Bruyere,
a royal officer, who was to ascend
the Mississippi and Arkansas to the
mouth of the Canadian, which the
Mallets correctly guessed arose
"less than 40 leagues from Santa
Fe."
When the Canadian dwindled
away to mere brook in central
Oklahoma, Bruyere sat down to wait
for it to rise, instead of buying
horses from the Osages to transport
his goods, as the Mallets advised
him to do. But it was dry year
and, after waiting six months, Bruy-
ere went back to New Orleans. The
Mallets returned to Canada, where
they disappeared from history, but
today the Canadian river is a 100
mlle-long memorial to the two
brothers whose wanderings rank
them on par with La Salle.'
