cent since Mr. Enright became Police Commissioner. The District Attorney of Bronx County issues a statement answering Mr. Aron’s list of twenty-six murders committed in the Bronx in 1924 and declared that his figures are inaccurate. In ten cases, says the District Attorney, murderers were sent to prison; two committed suicide; in three cases verdicts of justifiable homicides were returned; one was acquitted; two were discharged by the Grand Jury, and one was sent to an insane asylum. In addition, two are awaiting trial; one is under indictment but not yet arrested; two suspects are under surveillance. Furthermore, says the

Furthermore, says the District Attorney, three murders listed by Mr. Aron were committed outside the Bronx, and three others were at the hand of the same crazed man. In memory of the leading surgeon for many years of the Presbyterian Hospital a gift of $203,000 has been turned over to the hospital, half to be used for “the Dr. Andrew J.

FROM THE CAPITAL The brass bed which graced the booth in which William McKinley lived as representative from Ohio brought $160 at an auction last week. The wooden desk upon which some of the famous McKinley Bills had been worked out brought $37.50. There are 10,000 fewer cars parked in Washington streets today than two weeks ago.

From tiny tads with chubby bare knees to sub-'debs' hesitating between girlhood and sophistication, six hundred children frolicked over the White House when Mrs. Coolidge "received" the Children of the American Revolution the other day.

It is in the form of the double eagle, worked out in rubies, diamonds and sapphires—the national tricolor in precious stones.

King George and Queen Mary, like other members of the Royal family, evidently intend to do as they did last year and to prove their interest in the Wembley Exhibition by frequent informal visits to it. But their appearances there have begun to raise an unexpected problem. No doubt a solution for it
raise an unexpected problem. No doubt a solution for it will be found in the sound common sense of the British public, but for the moment it is giving concern to those in charge of the Exhibition. Imitators seem to want to follow in the footsteps of the American who gained sudden—perhaps expected—fame last week by insisting on shaking the King’s hand as his Majesty passed by at Wembley. On the King’s latest visit with a party of friends, another man pushed through the crowd and said "Shake hands, Your Majesty." Neither police nor spectators interfered with him and although
Majesty." Neither police nor spectators interfered with him and although the King seemed a trifle embarrassed, he eventually complied. When another man attempted to do so as the first had done, there were protests from the people around. "Leave the King alone!" someone shouted, and there were other cries of "Stop him, sergeant!" The King’s bodyguard of police took no action but the would-be handshaker was forced to retire in confusion with his purpose unaccomplished. The Royal party then proceeded without further interruption, followed by the usual large crowd, but one which confined its demonstrations to the customary cheers and
one which confined its demonstrations to the customary cheers and waving of hands and handkerchiefs. New reviews of the life work of the late Sir Rider Haggard have brought out the fact that he was like most popular authors in that his greatest success was by no means attained with his first book. He had written several novels that attracted little notice before the day when he read "Treasure Island" and concluded that he might produce a work to hit the taste of the adventure-loving boy. The result was "King Solomon's Mines," a success eventually beyond his fondest hopes. Yet
Solomon's Mines," a success eventually beyond his fondest hopes. Yet his own publishers and two other firms rejected it and publication was secured from the Cassell firm in 1865. It was rewarded for its daring. Of the novel in its original form it sold 100,000 copies, an immense number for these days, and subsequent cheaper editions have enjoyed enormous popularity. TOPIC OF THE DAY England and Decorative Art The inauguration of the British sections of the Paris Decorative Arts Exhibition tomorrow and on Wednesday by Prince Arthur of Connaught, who arrived last night, will provide another opportunity for somebody to
arrived last night, will provide another opportunity for somebody to "discover" English art. English art is an eternal topic of the day in view of the fact that since the 11th Century at the latest, not to go back as far as Tacitus, people from the Continent and other parts of the World have been "discovering" that the English have a very considerable contribution to make to many fields of decorative art—architecture, painting, furniture designing and cabinet-making, engraving, bookbinding—and yet the discovery never ends the fun, since the tradition goes on serenely that the English are an "unartistic people," and
on serenely that the English are an "unartistic people," and a few years later somebody else can "discover" them all over again with equally pleasurable surprise. Collectors and antique dealers, however, seldom lose sight of the value of English work, or of the meaning in pounds sterling of such names as Joshua Reynolds, Chippendale, Adam or Wyckcliffe. The exhibits in the present British section will prove that the English designers and craftsmen have retained their skill in the creation of fine furniture and the treatment of woods. For two hundred years English furniture has been prized not only in England,
years English furniture has been prized not only in England, and today taste has turned a favorable eye on the massive and handsome Tudor pieces. But it was in the lighter style which succeeded them, the delicate and elegant cabinets, bureaux, card-tables, chairs and harpsichords of the Restoration and the 18th Century, that England was supreme. Chippendale is entitled to the name of "father" of this furniture, and no other signature has such a money value as his on an authentic example of it, although enormous prices are also paid for the grandiose gilt furniture associated with the architect and
for the grandiose gilt furniture associated with the architect and decorator, William Kent, who is also of the period. Sheraton and Adam carried the style further, and the fortunate habit which these men had of publishing their designs enabled British makers to produce practically authentic things after their death, and this was commonly done until well into the present century. The fine walnut furniture of the Restoration turned the attention of the English makers from the heavy oak of their predecessors to the more elegant woods, and they became masters of inlaid work, veneering, japanning and marquetry. Chippendale designs were
of inlaid work, veneering, japanning and marquetry. Chippendale designs were admirably executed in mahogany sixty or seventy years ago. In architecture such men as Inigo Jones, Adam and Sir Christopher Wren are internationally known, and the houses of Colonial America were strongly marked by the taste of the last two. In painting it is only necessary to mention the names of the 18th Century masters: Gainsborough, Reynolds, Romney, Raeburn and the slightly later Turner. The school of engravers who grew up around these men and reproduced their work in line, stipple and color carried their art to a memorable perfection,
stipple and color carried their art to a memorable perfection, and the velvety mezzotints of the period are one of the glories of the collector. The revival of the art of etching in England, headed by men like Seymour Haden, produced much fine work that found its way to other countries. English sporting prints are unique. To England goes at least part of the credit for her adopted sons, Whistler and Sargent, as it does for Holbein, and the Whistlerian tradition of insurgency carried on by such innovators as Walter Sickert and Roger Fry led English artists into pace with
Sickert and Roger Fry led English artists into pace with modernity. Probably more famous paintings have changed hands at Christie’s and more masterpieces have started on their migration to America, than at any art dealer’s in the world. At Sotheby's many of the world’s finest books have been sold from the great English collections, and among them the beautiful early English black letters and the works of the 17th Century printers. English bookbinders today vie with any. In Paris and the Provinces; Thunderstorms Break Heat Wave A consequence was the rediscovery by the public of “Dawn” and “The Witch’s Head,”
rediscovery by the public of “Dawn” and “The Witch’s Head,” and they found new life in new editions. Rider Haggard was thus certain of a huge circulation for his output and in the forty years that followed his pen worked hard. In two years he produced six novels, bringing a momentary surfeit of the public taste and inspiring the familiar couplet about a place “Where the Kiplings cease from Kipling and the Haggards ride no more.” But if he never quite repeated his first triumphs, Rider Haggard never lost his hold on popular favor. Adventure remained his forte, and although
hold on popular favor. Adventure remained his forte, and although few claim that he was a literary artist, his powers of invention and of storytelling were exceptional. From the figure of 100,000 copies that delighted Rider Haggard, one turns with a start to the 900,000 sales a week reported by the Oldhams Press in its fifth annual report to the shareholders. This is the number of copies sold of John Bull, whose circulation is declared to be the largest of any publication in its class in England or in the world, and the gain in the last year alone has

Profits earned by the Oldham firm have advanced in like proportion during recent years and its activities are broadening out steadily. Corresponding expansion in an unrelated industry is occurring in respect to the production of synthetic ammonia in England. The recent announcement of a guarantee of £2,000,000 under the Trade Facilities Act as new capital for Synthetic Ammonia and Nitrates, Ltd., promises a great growth in the undertaking set up at Billingham, near Stockton-on-Tees, by a subsidiary company of Brunner, Mond and Company. The purpose is to
company of Brunner, Mond and Company. The purpose is to make ammonia from the nitrogen of the atmosphere. The Works are to be extended to several times their present size and the output, restricted at present to 120 tons of sulphate of ammonia a day, will approach 800 tons daily. This expansion marks the success of processes of making ammonia and nitrates which are new to England. They are the fruits of research carried out in the later stages of the war and since. Great Britain today is declared to be far ahead of any other country except Germany in

A Committee of Privy Councillors to examine proposed honors has just been named. It consists of Viscount Novar, Lord Merrivale and Mr. J. F. P. Rawlinson, AIP. This fact was disclosed in the House of Commons when the Earl of Selborne asked certain questions concerning the traffic in honors. Prostrations Reported in Paris While Mail Damages Vineyards in South and Central France. Thunder showers in Paris and the
South and Central France. Thunder showers in Paris and the vicinity, with severe storms in Central and Southern France, brought relief yesterday from the heat wave under which France has been sweltering for the past few days. Sunday dawned bright in Paris, and three prostrations were reported from the heat before the storm broke soon after noon. The intermittent downpour, accompanied by thunder and lightning, did not prevent thousands from visiting the Exposition of Decorative Arts. The Fête du Muguet was also held, with a procession of vehicles decorated with lilies of the valley, headed by a band and the

A violent hailstorm ruined vineyards in the Department of the Hérault, extending as far east as the Department of the Gard, where vines and mulberry trees in the vicinity of Nîmes were damaged. Another storm swept the région of Charolles (Saône-et-Loire), and more damage from hailstones was reported. At Fontainebleau and in the Vallée de Chevreuse hail also fell.

Student Hero’s Grave Honored. The annual Dartmouth pilgrimage to the grave of Richard Neville Hale, killed in action with one of the first American volunteer ambulance units, was held yesterday.

When the repatriation of the American war dead was authorized in 1920, the parents of young Hale preferred that the body of their son should remain in the corner of Alsace where he fell.
