Had it been part of the Federal

be any move at this time to exempt
them. But the reverse is exactly

number of these votes will shift to
the side of the administration to-

One such shift, that of Senator

Judge Crater Killed, Cremoted>
Widow Claims in Suit
Seeks to Collect
Double Indemnity
Insurance
By the Associated Press.

os bic ASSOCIATED tresS.
NEW YORK, July 5.-The wide "
OF the long missing Supreme Court
Justice Joseph Force Crater today
began suit to collect $50 900 double
indemnity on insurance policies by
declaring her belief Judge Crater
died by external, violent or acci-
dental means" and that his body was
disposed of by cremation" or other
means.
In the first definite theory she has
expressed as to his fate, the widow
now Mrs. Stella M. Kunz, added her
belief that the jurist died "on or
about the day he disappeared
almost nine years ago.
She said her theory was based on
information compiled by police and
other agencies in world wide
search.
Justice Crater, whose disappear
ance became one of the greatest
mysteries In many years, carried
TOUR life insurance policies totaline
$4,000 with the Fidelity Mptual Life
insurance Co. and the Mutual Life
Insurance Co. of New York.
All the policies contained provision
for double indemnity in case OF
death by external, violent or &C
cidental means
The widows suit, filed in Supreme
Court, asserted that although Justice
Craters death was legally estab-
llshed recently by Surrogate James
A. Foley, the insurance companies
have refused to pay even the face
value of the policies. She is the
sole beneficiary.
AS recently as last May II, Mrs
kunz expressed doubt as to what
happened to Justice Crater when he
disappeared August 6, 1880.

House Will Be Asked
To Put Politics Ban
On District Attorneys
Restoration of Section
In Hatch Bill to
Be Sought
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Representative Michener, Repub-
1can, of Michigan said today the
House will be asked to ban such
Federal off1ceholders as district at
torneys and tax collectors from an
"active part in political management
or in political campaigns
That language, stricken from the
Hatch "pernicious political activi-
ties" bill by the House Judiciary
Committee, will be offered as an
amendment, Representative Mich
ener said, either by himself or some
colleague on the committee.
The bill is expected to come be-
fore the House next week or shortly
after.
Senator Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico, author of the bill designed
to take politics out of relief and pre-
vent coercion of relief workers and
regular Government employees by
their superiors, expressed strong ap-
proval of the Michener plan.
II believe" Senator Hatch added
"that majority in the House favors
carrying out the objectives of the
original bill"
Hatch Protests Change.
President Roosevelt said a few
weeks ago that every one favored
the bills objectives, but that it was
badly drawn. He added that the
House Judiciary Committee was at
tempting to redraft it.
Subsequently, the committee elm
mated one sentence preventing
Federal officeholders from taking
an active part" in political cam
paigns.
Senator Hatch protested that his
measure had been "emasculated.
He has interpreted the Michener
amendment as preventing those Fed
eral employees not already so re-
stricted by civil service rules from
attending party conventions as dele
gates, from making stump speeches
and from managing political cam
paigns.
In addition, the proposal forbids
administrative and supervisory"
employees from using official au-
thority or influence for the purpose
of interfering with an election or of
affecting the results thereof" The
penalty for any of these activities is
Immediate removal from office.
Most of the Hatch proposals re-
gardlng relief workers have been in
corporated in the 1910 relief appro-
prlation measure.
Penalties Proposed.
Among other things, the Hatch
bill would impose fines up to $1,000
and prison sentences up to one year
for:
Coercion by any one of a voter
Promising Federal job or other
benefit for political support,
Depriving a person of any Fed
eral job or benefit because Of race
color, creed or lawful political ac-
tivity
Soliciting funds for political pur-
poses from persons entitled to any
benefit from the Federal Govern
ment.

ton or benefits from the Federal

Schools Provided
For Guard Officers

The chief of the National Guard
Bureau of the War Department, Mai.
Gen. Albert H. Blanding, has called
to the attention of guard COM
manders. throughout the country the
Importance of not only encouraging
officers of their commands to attend
the service schools, but has pointed
out the various schools provided
While he said that there has been
steady progress in the military edu-
cation Of national guard personnel
at the various army schools, the
value OF service school attendance
by no means lies wholly in the i'm
proved efficiency of the students. OF
even greater Importance, he as
serted, is the qualification of re-
turning graduates to act as intruc-
tors for their organization. WI e
the authorities of most of the States,
he said, now realize the real advan-
tages gained from service school at
tendance, some States still cannot
I'LL their quotas with candidates
qualified by completing prerequisite
extension courses.
Three new courses were started
last year, the forage inspection
course, the air corps tactical course
and the pilot training course at the
Air Corps Training Center, Ran
dolph Field, Texas. Courses for en-
listed men were initiated at the
signal corps and engineer schools.
1t is planned to extend to seven
other corps areas the command and
staff courses. The national guard as
a whole, it was reported, now real
. ICES fully the high value of the Army
: extension courses in furthering mill
tary education. The enrolment as
OF March, of last year, was 1850
officers and 1920 enlisted men.
Gen. Blanding said that the enroll
ment of officers should approach
100 per cent.
A recent survey shows that ap-
proximately 100 additional regular
army officers are necessary to in
struct the national guard properly.
Inc need of this number and of
others has been called to the atten-
tlon OF the department. Regiments
located In single place need one
instructor while those moderately
scattered needed from two to three.
IN ADDITION to the commissioned in
structors who are badly needed for
the guard units, there also is a
shortage of sergeant instructors
from the regular establishment. even
