publicans to Fight Against
"Red Tape"
NOT REVOLT, THEY ASSERT
By the Associated Prtas
Waehinjrton, .Tunc 28. Representa
tive Ansorjje. of New York, Issued a
tatement today anscrtlnft that the new
Republican members of the House were
dissatisfied wltli the progress made by
Congress at the present Bpeclal session
and disclosing that he and ten others
had Joined in a call for a conference
tomorrow night of the approximately
100 now Republican members to dis
cus the situation.
"Wc arc not meeting In any plrit
of revolt," said Mr. Ansorge. adding
that the new members wnnted to cut
ome of the "red tape" and "substitute
action for delay."
Mr. Ansorge said none of the objects
for which Congress wan called into spe
cial session had been accomplished.
"Nor Is there definite promise as to
when they will be," he added. "There
re upwards of a hundred first-term
Republicans in the House and they all
feel, aB I do, that we have not been per
mitted to make our influence felt.
Called for Definite Purposes
"Congress was called into special
ession for certain definite purposes,
namely, for revision of the cumbersome,
unwieldy and inequitable system of tax
ation, the passage of a fair protective
tariff and toe passage of a peace reso
lution. None of these objects tinvo as
yet been accomplished, nor is there ouy
definite promise as to when they
will be.
"Nearly three months have passed
lnco the calling of the special session
and we want to see action, spelled with
a capital A.
"Wo believe, with the Republican
party, that what is best for the coun
try is best for the party and wc want
to Impress that thought on some of th
older members. Many of them have
been here so long they teem to have for
gotten It.
No Spirit of Revolt
"We are not meeting in any spirit
of revolt. We have come more recently
from the people and our opinion should
have some weight, congress is all tied
up with red tape. We want to cut some
of that red tape and substitute action
for delay. The seniority rule can go
too far. We feel that our districts have
as much right to representation as has
Uncle Joe Cannon's.
"This is not a new thought. I have
talked It over with the new members
and they believe that conferences from
time to time will serve a good purpose."
Others who signed the call for the
conference are Representatives Clarke,
New York; Oerncrd, Pennsylvania;
Knight, Ohio; Hogan, New York;
Arentz, Nevada; Beck, Wisconsin;
Beedy, Maine; Fenn, Connecticut;

BLIND CAN STEER SHIP
WITH NEW RADIO DEVICE
Colls Depend on Ear In Running
Ships Safely Through Fog
New York, June 28. The time as
when a nnvigator had to be a man of
good eyesight, but today on board the
lighthouse tender Tulip, far out at
sea, it was proved that the navigator
of the future may be blind aa a post
as long as be has fairly good hearing.
At the same time it was demon
strated that peril of fog is a part of
the sea passing rapidly Into the same
category as sea serpents.
8tanding with back to the windows
of the pilot house, man after man, land
lubbers whoso experience In steering
was limited to lawn mowers, put tho
trim little tender on her course toward
Ambrose lightship and otherisUn com
ported themselves as If they nad passed
a decade or two as pilots on the At
lantic Coast.
It wasj of course, a radio stunt
The experiment marked a decided step
in the process.
A coil, consisting of ten turns of In
sulated copper wire mounted upon n
frame which can bo rotated, Is the
heart of the radio direction finder.
When the plane of this coll Is parallel
to the direction from which a radio
signal emanates, the Intensity of the
signal received will be, greatest. In
other words, It will be heard most
loudly. As the coil is revolved the
intensity of the sound in the cars of tho
operator diminishes until a minimum is
reached, when the plane of the coil
comes to a position at right angles to
the line of direction.
Thus a navigator in the thickest fog
on the darkest night can instantly,
without moving from the wheel, de
termine just where he is by listening to
two or three stations and marking his
place on the chart.

KINSMAN OF NAPOLEON
By tlo Associated Press
Baltimore, June 28. Charles J.
Bonaparte, Attorney General during
tho Roosevelt Administration, died at
Belle Vista, his country home near
here, today.
Mr. Bonaparte had been In poor
health for about a year suffering from
a heart affection which became com
plicated with kidney trouble. He was
seventj years old. His widow, who
has been an invalid for many years,
survives,
I'pon his return to private life nt the
end of the second Administration of
Piesident Roosevelt, Mr. Bonaparte re
sumed the practice of law, in which ho
continued active until his health began
foillnz about n year ago. At that time
he suffered an acute heart attack, which
was followed by several othcra of a
lesa revere nature throughout the last
twelve months. He went to his coun
try homo in April. Since then ho had
been gradually losing ground. Last
Thursday he suffered the henrt nttuck
which resulted in his death today.
While Mr Bonaparte was known to be
in Indifferent health, his death enmo as
n great surprise.
Scion of the family made illustrious
by the great Napoleon, grandson of the
lattcr's youngest brother. Charles
Jerome Bonaparte received his early
education in private schools and
under the caro of private tutors, and
entered Harvard in 1860 as a junior.
Ho was graduated two years later, nnd
remained at the university one year as
a resident graduate.
In 1872 he took up the study of law
in the Harvard Law School, finishing
tbe course In 1874. Since his admis
sion in the same year to the Maryland
Bar he practiced his profession princi
pally in the Federal and State coutt.
Mr. Bonnparte was one of the trus
tees of the Cathedral Church of Balti
more, and a warm friend of Cardinal
Gibbons. He wns president of the Civil
8ervlce Reform Association of Mary
land and of the National Municipal
League. Besides these offices he was
connected with mnnv other reform nnd
charity organizations.
He was an overseer of Harvard Uni
versity from 1800 to 1002, nnd aroused
much criticism by opposing tbe plan to
confer the degree of LL.D. on President
McKlnley. In 1875 Mr. Bonaparte mar
ried Ellen Channing Day, of Newport,
R. I.
As a member of the United States
Board of Indian Commissioners from
1002 to 1004 he was selected by Presi
dent Roosevelt to investigate Indian
frauds, which he did in a fearless man
ner, and later to ranke Inquiries into
postal frauds.
As Secretary of the Navy Mr. Bona
parte was an advocate of a large fleet
and through his efforts several ships
were added to our Navy. He was trans
ferred by Rooscvolt from the Nnvy to
the Justice Department, and as Attor
ney General was active In prosecuting
trusts. In his reform campaigns in
Baltimore he was called "Charlie, the
Crook Chaser," and several grafting
officials, prosecuted bv him, were sent
to prison.

to Paris for two years, but finally
started for the French capital in obedi
ence to a peremptory command from
Napoleon, a command which was ac
companied by a stern order to leave thnt
"young person" behind The latter
part of the message was ignored by Je
rome, but a French frignte prevented
die young wife from landing at Lisbon
and later nt Amsterdam. "Betsy" wns
forced to seek refuge in England, where
she gave birth to a son. Jerome and
"Betsy" never met again after their
separation at Lisbon, although he lived
until 18C0 nnd she until 1870.

RENTAL GOUGE LAID
TO U. EMPLOYES
Tenants Will Tell Federal At
torney of Alleged Collusion
With Syndicate
WANT CONGRESS TO PROBE
Charges of collusion between per
sons nt present connected with the
Housing Division of the United States
Shipping Board and others formerly
connected with that body who now are
real estate agents will bo made before
United States Attorney McAvoy today.
Representatives of residents of Elm
wood, where n number of houses were
built by the Shipping Board, complain
their homes have been purchased by
a real estate syndicate which is now
gouging them for higher rentals.
An Investigation into the sale and
transfer of the houses will be demanded.
Complaints of alleged practices detri
mental to tenants have already been
made to President Hardtnir. Hcrbort
Hoover nnd Senator Penrose.
Charges Prepared
A meeting of the Executive Commit
tee of tho Workman's Protcctlvo As
sociation, which was formed to fight
the increase in rentals, was held last
night at the home of E. L. Fulkner,
president of the association, where the
charges thnt will be laid before Mr.
McAvoy were outlined, but the details
of the charges were not made public.
It wos learned, however, from Mr.
Fulkner that former employes In the
housing division of the Shipping Board
nre now acting as real estate agents for
the syndicate that bought a large num
ber of the houses.
"We are making this fight and we
arc going to ask for a congressional In
vestigation," Mr. Fulkner said, "to
prevent 400 persons who refuse to pay
the advance in rent from bcjhg thrown
Into the street. Wc will make he
charges public tomorrow before Mr. Mc
Avoy." Official Gives Answer
William Towers, mnnagcr of tbe
transportation and housing division of
the united States Shinning Board, who
assumed that office following the sale
of the houses, coming hero from Wash
ington, said when the meeting before
Mr. McAvoy was brought to his atten
tion :
"I know absolutely nothing about the
meeting, nnd it is n surprise to me. Out
of the IPSO houses in the Elmwood sec
tion, which are known as the Hog Is
land operation, tbe Shipping Board has
sold all but 140 houses, and we arc now
contracting for the sale of these.
"When the Shipping Board gave up
title to the buyers a long time ago,
naturally our interest in them ceased.
The charges that there was collusion be
tween the syndicate and several em
ployes may be true, and one of the men
In that department was discharged some
time ago. I wns not in charge of the
department when the sale wns made,
but I am sure that should an investiga
tion be ordered, the Shipping Board
would be only too glad to open its books
for examination and to do what it could
to clear up the alleged charges, if there
are any." Mr. Towers concluded.

IS. KABER'S TRIAL
P
Judge Overrules Motion to Ex
clude Women From Jury
Panel
CROWD KEPT FROM COURT
By the Associated Press
Cleveland, June 28. Mrs. Eva
Catherine Kabcr, chnrged with having
plotted the nssawilnation of her hus
band, Daniel P. Kabcr, wealthy Lake
wood, Ohio, publisher, was formally
placed on trial in Judge Maurice Ber
non's court at 10 o'clock this morning.
She is under indictment for first-degree
murder, which carries the death penalty
in this State.
Mrs. Kabcr was brought into the
courtroom promptly nt 10 o'clock and
seated beside her counsel, Frnncis W.
Poulaon, Wlllinm J. Corrigan nnd
Samuel S Kcst. Addition of Mr. Kcst
to tho defense counsel wns announced
by Mr. Poulson shortly nfter the trial
opened.
Mrs. Kabcr looked neither to the
right nor to the left as she entered the
small crowded courtroom and appeared
oblivious of the outcomo of the trial of
which sho is the central figure, nnd
which may mean her future freedom,
imprisonment or even execution. She
wore a black tailored suit, blue hat
with black plumes and blue gloves. She
immediately assumed a posture with
her chin resting in her right band, the
elbow resting on tho arm of tho chair.
She looked straight forward at the
floor.
Long before 0 o'clock the time set
for the opening of tho trial, a crowd
began to congrcgnte in front of tho old
courthouse and jail. Some hoped to
gain admittance to the courtroom;
others wanted merely to catch a glimpse
of Mrs. Kabcr na she was taken from
tho jail to the courthouse. The halls
and corridors of the courthouse soon
were filled and tho crowd In front of
tho building had increased to more than
a thousand before Mrs. Kaber ap
peared. Extra police kept the crowd
from rushing the courtroom, admission
to which was gained by card only. Lesa
than fifty persons, other than news
paper correspondents nnd court of
ficials, were admitted.
In lino with Attorney Poulson's pre
viously nnnounccd intention to fight
the placing of women on the Jury, ho
immediately submitted a motion to an
nul a special panel of forty-two pro
spective jurors, five of whom were
women, on tho ground thnt the women
were barred by the Stato Constitution
from sitting as jurors. The motion was
argued by Attorney Corrigan for half
an hour. Judge Bernon promptly over
ruled the motion.

"MEN ONLY WANT BEAUTY,"
WEEPS WOULD-BE SUICIDE
No Place for Homely Girl, Saya Vir
ginia Hicks
Baltimore, Juno 28. (By A. P.)
"Men only look for beauty; they don't
care about tho real homemaker any
longer." Virginia Hicks, twenty years
old, a patient nt the Maryland Gen
eral Hospital, who tried to commit
suicide Sunday night by swallowing
poison, explained that there was no
place in the world for tho homely girl.
"I don't want to get well," she con
tinued, pushing back her short red
hair. "Men don't caro what you do
for them; tbey aro all for the girl who
spends everything on clothes and makes
a big show. They don't care if a girl
is good, self-respecting and a real
homemaker, all they want is a big dis
play for their money."
Refusing to give her lover's nnme, she
admitted that they had both been very
happy and expected to get married
shortly, until one evening nt a dance
he met a prettier girl, nnd nfter that
she didn't have a chance. "Classical
features and a conspicuous lnck of
freckles" were essential features for
happiness, Virginia declared, weeping.

AS DE VALERA AIDE
... tp ...-
Widow of Irishman Executed In
1916 Acting as Intermediary
With Premier
ULSTER ACCEPTS OFFER
By fluAssociated Press
Londpn. June-28. Mrs. F, Sheehy
Skefflngton, widow of nn Irish leader
who was executed following" the Easter
Monday riots" In 1010, has played a
prominent part'ln bringing about recent
developments relative to peace In Ire
land. This announcement Is made In
statements printed In the Graphic and
Sketch,
Mrs. Skcffington Is now In London,
nnd the two -newspapers ray be Is un
official ambassador of Eamon de Va
lera, nnd has acted as an Intermediary
between him and Prime Minister Lloyd
George.
Interviewed by the Sketch, which
asked whether a definite proposal from
the British Government would be a nee
essnry preliminary to the proposed meet
ing of Mr. de Vnlera nnd Sir James
Craig, Premier of Ulster, Mrs. Skefflng
ton said : .....
"No, I think thcro will have to be a
meeting first. Probably It will bo nec
essary to ask the Government to arrange
for such a meeting. Most of the Cab
inet of tho Irish Republic are in jail,
nnd nrrangements must bo made for
them to attend the meeting."
It has been Impossible hitherto to
obtain from Dublin deflulto news as to
the prospects of the acceptance of the
Prime Minister's Invitation to the Irish
leaders to meet under Government
auspices. This has been due to the
reticence of Mr. De Vnlera and other
Sinn Fein leaders who are at liberty.
De Valcra's consultations with his
colleagues arc understood to hnvo pro
gressed on Monday, and it is stated that
if he desires access to imprisoned Sinn
Fcincrs for further discussions, permis
sion will be given. It is further re
ported that if a full meeting of the
Irish Parliament should bo required to
obtain sanction of any decision taken,
this also will be allowed.
The arrangements for the mecUng
were based on tho vice-Regal procla
mation Issued last week, formally set
ting today as the date for the assem
bling of the Parliament under the
Home Rule Act. The only members
expected to attend, however, were pos
sibly some of the Senators, as the Sinn
Fein, which elected virtually all the
members of tho Lower House, let it
be known some tlmo ago that It would
ignore any summons for a meeting of
this body, a creature of tho Home
Rule measure. Before the balloting
last month the Irish Republican Par
liament decided that the election should
be regarded as elections to the Irish
Republican legislative body nnd not
to the Home Rule Parliament.
Belfast, June 28. (By A. P.) Sir
James Crnig, the Ulster Premier, an
nounced today that the Ulster Cabinet
has accented the invitation of Mr.
Lloyd George, tho Prime Minister, for
tno proposed conicrcnco between repre
sentatives of Northern and Southern
Ireland and the British Premier.
Sir James will be accompanied by nil
the ministers ot too Ulster unoinct with
the exception of Sir Dawson Bates,
whose duties as Home Secretary neces
sitate bis remaining in Belfast.
Eamonn De Valera, the republican
leader, is in Dublin consulting with his
