11 Am°ns n°tîble 18th Centur,y résidence'
Left Bank is the handsome
on
structure at 142 Rue de Grenelle, near
the o°rr of the Rue 'de Con^tar.tme.
/tfthough known as the Chanac Je Pom-
Ljdour mansion. it has no connection with
! celebrated lady of this name, but
tfiis désignation from the fact that
f was put up for M. Chanac, Abbé de
ronlpaJour. Tins house was built in
750 by the well known architect, de La
aire. In this part of Paris, near the
arrière de Grenelle, space for an -ex-
ensive garden was then still available.
This -property has had a succession
yf distinguished, and in some cases his-
orie, owners. After Guy de Vauréal,
ishon of Rennes, had ljved there a short
ime, it was acquired by Baron de Besen-
val, wl}o paid for it 170,000 livres or
francs. Besenval, at one time Lieutenant
encraI of the King's armies and Colonel
of the Swiss Guards, and who, until the
Révolution, stood high in Marie-Antoi-
nette's favor, practically gave this house
its present richness, both inside and out.
IFor this purpose he employed the eminent
architect Brongniart, who built in the
"eJlar a magnificent bath with bas j'eliefs
■anJ columns, and naiads spouting hot
s.nJ cold water-sculptured by Clodion.
[n the vestibule on the ground floor the
tatue surmpunting the poële is by Cous-
tou le Jeune, a marble replica of which,
jrdered by Frederick the Great, is today
in Potsdam. The gilded cabinet, with
ts medallions, opens on to the spacious
arden. Later owners were de Ségur,
^habrillan, and Montholon.
The present owner, Mrs. Gustave Bau-
mann, finds this house, with its rich 18th
entury decoration untarnished by time,
in admirable place for entertaining. On
he ground floor three large salons and
ree smailér rooms can be thrown tÓ-
jether, permitting the guests to enjèy a
troll ' through ail six. The gilding of
his monument historique is especially
émarkable.
Mrs. Baumann purchased the house
lome three or four years ago, but took
possession only last May. Whi[e she has
iften given informai affairs there, yes-
rday was the first time that she has
'ven her anriua! early 'January reception,
&ays" atteridë'd T^'hér many Frefidîi"
riends and scores from the American
o:ori} On ttys occasion she ihvited her
ïiciî^s to meet her sister, Mrs. Charles
Laurence Hutchinson, of Chicago, who
as been her guest for some weeks. Among
those seen, to mention only a few, were
he Marquise de Talleyrand-Périgord,
comtesse de Viel-Castel, Comtesse de
Merlemont, Mrs. Lawrence Paul, Mrs.
jeorge Steele, Mrs. William Harts, Mrs.
enjamin Thaw, Mrs. Henry Symes Lehr,
ind her cousin Mrs. James W. Benton,
omtesse Albert de Mun, Mrs. Wayne
uyler, Mr. Mortimer Singer, and M.
ndré de Fouquières. Mrs. Hutchinson
is remaining with her sister another fort-
ight and will then .return to America to
pend the winter in Horida.
I Thé Friday night party at Ciro's was
ouite a cozy affair. The room to the
West of the bar has been entirely shut
pf and a temporary wall built with the
,fi°ors leading from the bar and second
pom replaced by mirrors. Thus the bar
i thrown into a restaurant and the effect
1$ attractive and intime. The Baron and'
Baronne Durrieu were among the hosts
fiaving as their guests M. and Mme. La-
Icloche. Comte and Comtesse de Mun

It appears that the new cabaret, which
bears the name of L'Enfant Terrible, is
having a great success. It opened in the
sous-sol of the Théâtre Pigalle on New
Vear's Eve and every night has been
trowded. There is no program of variety
turns, but the music is good, the dancers
reasonably skilful, and the company ad-
mittedly select. The Enfant Terrible is
^nder the same management as the
Bœuf sur le Toit-one W0uld not be sur-
!Prised to find both establishments secretly
irected by La Mère Oie. A few nights
go, Mr. Willy K. Vanderbilt, Jr. gave a
party there for the pretty Miss Kilvert,
J'ho is spending some weeks in Paris with
r mother. The Princess Viggo of Den-
^ark was in another group, and Mrs.
er ache, who had earlier given a dinner at
home, brought her guests on here.
Another new Montmartre calbaret is
Château, also one of the successes
the winter. It was opened just before
Christmas at 54 Rue Pigalle (Chez Ord
amilton) and the directeur is trône other
an the well known Albert who was
long the manager of the Perroquet and
ast summer had charge of the restaurant
and entertainment at the ' new Royal
lcardie Hotel in Le Touquet. This
^blishrnent features Ileading Parisian
' ec*€ttes with an extensive program.

SHIP GET MAIL
Davies Wants Congress
To Refuse Awards
To Alien Flags
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—An attempt
to prevent American shipping companies
which operate ships under foreign flags
from sharing in the benefits of United
States mail-carrying contracts is to be
made in the House of Représentatives.
The move is' sponsored by Congressman
Davies, minority leader of the Committee
on Merchant Marine, and is aimed par-
ticularly at the Munson Steamship
Company, which operates vessels be-
tween the United States and South
American ports, and the International
Mercantile Marine Company which plies
on the North Atlantic routes.
In support of his bill offered. yester-
day as an amendme-nt to the Jones-
White Merchant Marine Act, Repre-
sentative Davies declared it is contrary
to thé spirit of the Shipping Act for the
P.ostmaster General to grant mail con-
tracts to companies which, âlthough os-
tensibly American, were really compet-
ing with foreign flag ships against the
owners of shipping lines purchased from
the United States Shipping Board.
According to Congressman Davies,
the purpose of Congress in authorizing
valuable mail contracts, is to encourage
the establishment and maintc-ijiance of
the American Merchant Marine and
render it capable of carrying a greater
portion of American commerce in times
of peace and serving as naval or mili-
tary auxiliaries in time of war.
He pointed out that to award them
to coinpanies who operate 90 per cent
of their ships ùnder foreign flags would
defeat the purpose of the Merchant
Marine Act.
"Lét' thosè who are not willing to play
tfiç American' game 100 per cent," he de'
_^ared, "look for, aid and e fort to
those nations under who se f1ags they
are pleased to ply' their ships." -
It will be recalled that early in Jah-
uary, 1929. Assistant Postmaster General
Warren Glover issued a sensational order
MARY PICKFORD
IN COURT TELLS
SALARY DETAILS
Mother Given $50,000
Yearly For Taking
Care Of Family
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
LOS ANGBLEJS, Jan. 10.—Mary Pick-
ford appeared in a Probate Court here
today to protest against the alleged ex-
cessive inheritance tax on the estate of
her mother, who died last year.
In the course of her evidence she said
that in 1919 she was earning $10,800 a
week and in the following year began
producing her own pictures. In 1917
she saved over $400,000 out of her salary
of - $560,000. She paid her mother
$26,000 a. year as a salary in 1916 and
$50,000 a year as salary for the two
foilowing years.
"Mother," said the witness, "was paid
for taking care of us ail—our personal
expenses, donations, and so on. Her
services were valuable because she was
virtually the head . of the family and
we could not manàge without her."
BANKER DESCRIBES
CANAD'S VIRTUES
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
MONTREAL., Jan. 10.— Canadian busi-
ness men were greatly impressed by the
constructive suggestion put forward to-
day at the annual meeting of the Royal
Bank of Canada by C. E. Neill, manag-
ing director, who clâitn.ed that Canada
should advertise more widely its position
as a great marketing center where an
army'of American visitors could secure
European goods at more advantageous
prices than in the United States, owing
to the preferential tariff.
Canada, he 'declared, holds first place
in the play grounds of the world. Its
scenic, historie and other attractions
bring every year approximately 15,000,-
000 visitors whose expenditures are esti-
mated by the Dominion Bureau of Statis-
tics to have been, in 192'8, $250,000,000.
and-last year still higher.

Hundred Hurt As Gas Tank Explosions
Shake Globe Theatre In Philadelphia
Windows Smashed For
Miles About; Two
Workers Missing
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10.—Two labor-
ers are missing and more than a hundred.
persons were hurt in a sériés of explo-
sions which shook the Globe Theatre
here yesterday. T\\o of the injured per-
sons are not expected to live and sixteen
others are in a serious condition. The
whole central section of the city was
rocked by the terrifie detonations.
Sparks from a blow torch ignited one
of the five tanks of gas and compressed
air in the théâtre, causing the first blast.
Fire broke out immediately and the four
other tanks exploded in quick suce^sion.
Windows were smashed within a radius
of a mile by the force of the blasts. The
théâtre itself was partially demolished
and great quantities of debris were show-
ered in ail directions. A piece of sheet
metal from one of the gas containers was
hurled out of the building, injuring two
firemen on an engine which had rushed
to the scene' to extinguish the flames
which broke out.
Ambulances and médical aid outfits
dashed to the spot and dozens of people
were tàken to hospitals. Many others
who were eut by splinters of glass and
flyjng debris refused to gô to the hospitals
for médical treatment and patched them-
selves up as best they could in . the

Girl Press Agent
Turns Tables On
Lobby Quiz Body
Called To Be Grilled,
Miss Jones Lampoons.
Committee
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. lO.-Gladys "Moon
Jones, the $27,000-a-year publitity agent
for the Cuban sug'ar interests, took the
conter of the stage today and lampooned
the Senate Lobby Investigating Com-
mi t tee for its tacties used in the sugar
quiz.
Before Senator Caraway or the other
members of the Lobby Committee could
fire their prearranged list of questions at
the young publicity woman, she had
reversed the situation and was subject-
ing the committee to a grilling.'
In no uncertain terms she told the
committee and the assembled Sena.tors
that their procédure was illégal and
underhanded. She declared that they had
nt; right to seize private correspondence
and that their chief purposës were to
create politicial difficulties for Président
Hoôver and to whitewash domestic suga.r
interests. , .. , f
"Gladys then suggested, and none too
mildly. that the committee investigate
more fully the lobbyists hired by
domestic sugar producers and ihcidentat-
ly probe into their methods and actiyities.
These lobbyists, she declared, had suc-
ceeded in getting "their men" elected for
seats in the House and Senate.
In backing up her charge she named
specifically Representative Timberlake,
of Colorado, the chairman of the House
Sub-Committee on Sugar, and Senator
Waterman, of Colorado, who has been a
counsel for the Great Western Sugar
Company, as having got into power
through domestic sugar interehts. She
then implicated Senator Smoot, chairman
of the Senate Sub-Committee on Sugar
and Chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee.
MINERS DENUDE
AND CHASE AWAY
STRIKE BREAKERS
4,000 In Demonstration
Stopped After Clash
With Police
(Tribune Press Service)
SYDNEY, Jan. 10.—Violence attended
clashes between the police, striking mine
workers and strike . breakers in the
northern coal filelds today when an army
of 3,000 strikers marched to Aahton Fields
Coiliery, 27 miles from Rothbury, sur-
rounded the mine head after overpower-
ing the police guard, and awaited the
arrivai of the non-unio::1i:-:t workmen.
When the latter arrived to go to work,
the strikers seized them, stripped off
their clothes- and chased them na.kcd
from the mine, prodding them with sticks
to hasten their progress. A sulky oon-
taining three non-uaionists was set afire
and destroyed.
At dawn another army of miners led
by a contingent of 250 ex-soldiers left
Cesshock for Rothbury, and a third con-
tingent of 4,000, including 200 former
service men, left Kurri Kurri for the
same destination. ' ;
Their march was stopped before the
mines were reached and the men return-
ed to their homes. It developed later
that this march on 'Rothbury was simply
a démonstration, to 'divert attention from
affairs at Ashton Fields.
The miners claim a stratégie victory
over the police, but the latter report
that they . have the situation well in
hand.

CEREMONIAL MASTER

(International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. lO.-Gener-
ally understood to have been the
man who prepared the ruling that
Mrs. Dolly Gann, the sister of Vice-
President Charles Curtis, did not
rank before the wivee of Ambassa-
dorsy, James C. Dunn, it is announc-
ed today, lias been removed from his
post as White Housé, director of
ceremonies.
The ruling precipitated a social
war in the Capital which lasted sev-
eral months and only ended when
Mrs. Gann became reconciled with
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, the wife
of the Speaker of the House of Rep-
résentatives and her bitterest op-
ponent for &ocial precedence at the

3,000,000 Jobless
Today In America,
Says Labor Chief
Green Wants A Survey
To Find Solution
Of Difficulty
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YORK;, Jan. 10. — There are
3,000,000 unemployed in the United States
at the present day, according to an estim-
ate made by William Green, president of
the American Federation of Labor, here
today. He suggests that the Council of
the Federation undertake a national sur-
vey of the problem in the hope of finding
a satisfactory solution.
According to Mr. Green, the situation
was already serious before the recent
stock crash and it has grown much worse
since then.
The use of machinery and mass pro-
duction are the chief causes of the idle-
nèss of so many American workers, in
his opinion. As for the cinema industry,
he says that the talking pictures, with
tlieir "canned" music, are creating havoc.
He foresees a time when musicians will
no longer be required at ail in theatres.
Mr. Green's estimate of 3,000,000 un-
employed is largely guesswork but it is
generally believed to be conservative.
Wants Better Figures.
In order that it may be possible to
secure unemployment statistics compar-
able in accuracy to those possessed by
Great Britain, he urges that the Depart-
ment of Labor in Washington expand its
machinery to include every branch of in-
dustry.
At present the figures available are
totally inadéquate. - Statistics for many
departments of manufacturing as well a.9
for mining, quarrying, petroleum produc-
tion, agriculture, lumlbering, transporta-
tion and wholesale and retail trade are
either totally lacking or hopelessly in-
sufficient.
ln an effort to remedy this defect, bills
were introduced in both Houses of Con-
gress yesterday at the instigation of Sen-
ator Robert F. Wagner, Democrat of
New York. Senator Wagner also pro-
posed the undertaking of public works to
help those at present unemployed.
One other remedy which has been pro-
posed is the enactmenf of State laws to
regulate employment agencies. The
agencies, some of which have sprung up
fecently, take fees ranging from $5 to
$25 for the registration of unemployed
persons for jobs which are either in-
existent or inaccessible to the agents. The
more reputable sort of agency would not
be envisaged by the proposed législation.

U. S. LAWS ILL
ENFORCED, SAYS
HOOVER'S BOARD
Statement Calls Crime
System 'Entirely
Inadéquate'
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The failuve
of the nation to enforce prohibition was
admitted today by President Hoover'f
Law Enforcement Commission in its
first extensive statement. "The criminal
law enforcement machinery of the coua-
try is entirely inadéquate," stated Chair-
man Wickersham.
"The capacity and effectiveness of the
national machinery for law enforcement,"
he declared, "are overtaxed by prohibi-
tion, drug, white slave, automobile theft,
immigration and other laws."
The statement mentioned prohibition
dlrectly only in reeounting the four re-
commendations made to the président.
The commission adjourned today until
Feb. 5.
President Hoover's perturbation over the
recent anti-prohibition agitation caused by
a series of killings by dry agents and
Coast Guards and by the demands by
Senator Borah and his insurgent asso-
ciates for a reform of the prohibition
enforcement personnel today caused the
announcement that the President would
yield to Congress and send to it the
reports of his Law Enforcement Com-
mission on Monday, accompan;ed by his
recommendations for législation.
The Président had indicated about two
weeks ago that the reports would be
sent to Congress only after the ap-
pointment of a joint committee of the
two houses to conaider them and work
out législative measures. This Congress
refused to do, inssting that the chief
executive shoulder the responsibility for
the legislation by making definite re-
commendations.
It has been the attitude among the
"political drys" in Congress, especially
those up for réélection this year, that
the less said about prohibition the better,
and it is felt, that âny further stringent
enforcement is apt' to result in more
with thç
'conséquent reflections upon its makers.
However, the administration feels that
RAGING BLIZZARD
CLAMPS MIDDLE
WEST IN ITS GRIP
New York Enjoys Sun,
But Awaits Arrivai
Of More Winter
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
CHICAGO, Jan. 10.—After a brief
holiday breathing spell the Middle West
is again clamped down tight under the
icy l.id of a howling January blizzard
which shows no signs yet of loosening
its grip on the middle section of the
country.
The storm and cold wave are spread-
ing a sheet of sleet and snow over the
whole region of the cen.tral states, with
the snowdrifts still steadily and silently
elimbing. In Chicago the fall has
reached nine jnches, and drifts from
six to 18 inches deep are blocking rura!
roads in the outlying country.
Telephone communications have been
interrupted between a number of
centers, although the railroads have so
far . been able to maintain their
schedules.
In the meantime New York still en-
joys a lamblike treatment at the hands
of the fickle climate, spring tempéra-
tures and bi/ght skies marking this as
one of the most favored Januaries in
local history. But it won't be for long.
and the Gothamitee are already lifting
a weather eye, as they say, toward the
west, out of which the cold blast is due
in a few hours to pounce down on the
island.

God Is Against Drys,
Congressman Says
(Special Cable To The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, Jan. lO.--c-:The as-
sertion that Prohibition has "Ushered
in an âge of corruption, intemper-
ance, disrespect for the law and con-
tempt for the Government such as
this nation never before has witness-
ed" was made in the Lower House to-
day by Representative John C.
Schafer, Rep., Wisconsin.
"You must choose between Prohi-
bition and Christian religion, Mr.
Schafer said. You cannot have both,
for they are eternal opposites. An

Sanction Question
Virtually Settled
At Hague Parley
Hopes Of Early Close
Of Conférence Are
Now Revived
BY HENRY WALES.
(Tribune Press Service)
THE HAGUE, Jan. lO.-The German
reply to the draft of M. Tardieu's pro-
posed text of a sanction clause was hand-
ed to the French delegation this evening.
The answer of the Reich has been ap-
proved by the Berlin Cabinet and is
reported to be favorable to the French
thesis although certain minor changes
are suggested.
In view of this progress made on one
of the most ticklish points in issue,
hopes are revived for an early ending
of the Conférence.
It was stated tonight that M. Snowden
this afternoon requested the Secretary
General to call a plenary session on
Monday afternoon to wind up the Ger-
ma.n phase of the Conférence. The
British Chancellor suggested night ses-
sions and working ail day Sunday to
complete the Protocol and settle the
question now pending. -
The International bank trust deed for
the handlinà7 of réparâtlons'" is expected
to be completed by then, as the allied
powers propose eleven amentlments fo
the document framed at Baden Baden.
The proposition is to " in>struet the
bànkers, Dr. Schacht, Jackson Reynolds,
Melvin Traylor and the other experts,
to continue the pourparlers among them-
selves wherever they choose for com-
pleting the organization of . the Bank
EUGENIST THINKS
PARSONS SHOULD
GET CHILD BONUS
Says Finest Leaders
Come From Homes
Of Clergy
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—A proposai to
subsidize clergymen's children as one
of the best methods of increasing racial
stock was made here today by Dr. Clar-
ence Campbell, President of the Eugenic
Research Association in an address be-
fore the members of the Clergymen's
Committee of the American Eugenics
Society.
"It is well known," said Dr. Campbell,
"that the best quality. of leaders arise
in the greatest frequency from families
of the clergy. Any movement to encour-
age the clergy to have bigger and better
families by granting a bonus would not
only be a human obligation but also an
eugenic measure which, contains the
greatest promise of sustaining and ÏJl-
creasing the world's most valuable racial
stock."
According to Dr. Campbell, human pro -
gress is seriously jeopardized by tho
fact that the best families do not even
average four children.
It was agreed that a meeting to con-
sider the advisability of offering a "child
bonus" to professors and scientists would
be held very soon. As philanthropy and
charity was administered today, it was
declared that eugenically inferior familles
were ancouraged to grow beyond aIl
sense of proportion, thus hastening the
deterioration of mankind.
BRITISH VISION
ERA OF NO USE
FOR ARMAMENT
But 50 Cruisers Held
To Be Minimum For
Present Needs
(Tribune Press Service)
LONDON, Jan. 10.-Stating that the
British Admiralty '"feels justified in look-
ing forward to the time when armcd
conflicts need no longer be expected," •
A. V. Alexander, First Lord of the 1
Admiralty, explained in a speech at Shef-
field tonight why the British naval
authorities are now wilting to accept 50 ■
as a maximum number of cruisers,
instead of the 70 on which they insisted
at previous disarmament conférences.
l'he reduced number of second-line
vessels is acceptable, he &aid, i--i view of
"ail the circumstances of today and
especially the Pact of Paris and the
improved world relationships." He added -,
that the tentative figure of 50 was, of ■
course, dépendent on an agreemen.t at '
trie London Conférence on ".adéquats
limitation of projected building programs
by other powers."
In the course of his speech, Mr.
Alexander declared, "I want to acknowl-
edge that up to the present the press .
of this country has maintained an at-
titude of great friend'liness and helpful-
ness in regard to the coming Five Power
Naval Conferen.ce. But with the emer- '
gence of some of the main problems to
bd considered, and particularly the prob-
lem of cruiser strength, 1 have observ-
ed a tendency in the press to ask, 'What

Delegation On Peace
Ship Thinks Plan Has
Good Chance
(Special Radio To 'The Tribune')
ON BOARD S. S. GEORGE WASH-
INGTON, Jan. lO.-The extension of
the present Five Power holiday from bat-
tleship construction, under the terms of
the Treaty of Washington, will be the
first objective of the American delega-
tion to the London Naval Conference
which opens on the 21 st this month. Such
is the consensus of opinion among well
informe,d people on board this ship, which
is carrying the hundred odd members of
the American délégation to the ail-
important gathering.
Although no formai agreement has yet
been reached with Great Britain on this
vital subject, members of the Amepican
group have stated that they consider it
to be one of the projects which has the ■
best chances of getting quick résulta,
Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of State
and leader of the delegation, said that he
had agreed to give the delegates a rest
before the shipboard conferences during
which it is expected that the program of
routine work and other matters will be
mapped out for the duration of the
parley. These meetings will probably start
on Monday.
Mr. Stimson sent a wireless message
to President Hoover saying, "Our delega- .
tion has sailed with a deep appreciation
of the responsibility of the mission which
you have entrusted to us and the earnest
desire to reach a result worthy of that
trust." :
Travel Bookings Now Near Normal Volume,
Following Slump After Stock Market Crash
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—Tourist book-
ings, which dropped seriously immed-
iately following the slump in stock
prices, are now nearly back to normal
volume, according to représentatives of
steamship companies and tourist agen-
cies, and, in certain classes of travel, are
higher than ever before at this season,
an inquiry yesterday disclosed.
Officiais of travel concerns declared
that if their businesses were any criter-
ion, public confidence had been restored
and the normal amount of money would
soon be active in this recreational field.
The United States Lines, largest Amer-
ican steamship company catering to the
trans-Atlantic passenger trade, finds
business "just about back to normal," a
spokesman declared. The only clasa of
travel that has fallen off materially,
he said, was that of buyers for depart-
ment stores.
Tourist travel was practically normal,
he said, and there was a greater number ', -

Left Bank is the handsome
on
structure at 142 Rue de Grenelle, near
the o°rr of the Rue 'de Con^tar.tme.
/tfthough known as the Chanac Je Pom-
Ljdour mansion. it has no connection with
! celebrated lady of this name, but
tfiis désignation from the fact that
f was put up for M. Chanac, Abbé de
ronlpaJour. Tins house was built in
750 by the well known architect, de La
aire. In this part of Paris, near the
arrière de Grenelle, space for an -ex-
ensive garden was then still available.
This -property has had a succession
yf distinguished, and in some cases his-
orie, owners. After Guy de Vauréal,
ishon of Rennes, had ljved there a short
ime, it was acquired by Baron de Besen-
val, wl}o paid for it 170,000 livres or
francs. Besenval, at one time Lieutenant
encraI of the King's armies and Colonel
of the Swiss Guards, and who, until the
Révolution, stood high in Marie-Antoi-
nette's favor, practically gave this house
its present richness, both inside and out.
IFor this purpose he employed the eminent
architect Brongniart, who built in the
"eJlar a magnificent bath with bas j'eliefs
■anJ columns, and naiads spouting hot
s.nJ cold water-sculptured by Clodion.
[n the vestibule on the ground floor the
tatue surmpunting the poële is by Cous-
tou le Jeune, a marble replica of which,
jrdered by Frederick the Great, is today
in Potsdam. The gilded cabinet, with
ts medallions, opens on to the spacious
arden. Later owners were de Ségur,
^habrillan, and Montholon.
The present owner, Mrs. Gustave Bau-
mann, finds this house, with its rich 18th
entury decoration untarnished by time,
in admirable place for entertaining. On
he ground floor three large salons and
ree smailér rooms can be thrown tÓ-
jether, permitting the guests to enjèy a
troll ' through ail six. The gilding of
his monument historique is especially
émarkable.
Mrs. Baumann purchased the house
lome three or four years ago, but took
possession only last May. Whi[e she has
iften given informai affairs there, yes-
rday was the first time that she has
'ven her anriua! early 'January reception,

as been her guest for some weeks. Among
those seen, to mention only a few, were
he Marquise de Talleyrand-Périgord,
comtesse de Viel-Castel, Comtesse de

It appears that the new cabaret, which
bears the name of L'Enfant Terrible, is
having a great success. It opened in the
sous-sol of the Théâtre Pigalle on New
Vear's Eve and every night has been
trowded. There is no program of variety
turns, but the music is good, the dancers
reasonably skilful, and the company ad-
mittedly select. The Enfant Terrible is

SHIP GET MAIL
Davies Wants Congress
To Refuse Awards
To Alien Flags
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—An attempt
to prevent American shipping companies
which operate ships under foreign flags
from sharing in the benefits of United
States mail-carrying contracts is to be
made in the House of Représentatives.
The move is' sponsored by Congressman
Davies, minority leader of the Committee
on Merchant Marine, and is aimed par-
ticularly at the Munson Steamship
Company, which operates vessels be-
tween the United States and South
American ports, and the International
Mercantile Marine Company which plies
on the North Atlantic routes.
In support of his bill offered. yester-
day as an amendme-nt to the Jones-
White Merchant Marine Act, Repre-
sentative Davies declared it is contrary
to thé spirit of the Shipping Act for the
P.ostmaster General to grant mail con-
tracts to companies which, âlthough os-
tensibly American, were really compet-
ing with foreign flag ships against the
owners of shipping lines purchased from
the United States Shipping Board.
According to Congressman Davies,
the purpose of Congress in authorizing
valuable mail contracts, is to encourage
the establishment and maintc-ijiance of
the American Merchant Marine and
render it capable of carrying a greater
portion of American commerce in times
of peace and serving as naval or mili-
tary auxiliaries in time of war.
He pointed out that to award them
to coinpanies who operate 90 per cent
of their ships ùnder foreign flags would
defeat the purpose of the Merchant
Marine Act.
"Lét' thosè who are not willing to play
tfiç American' game 100 per cent," he de'
_^ared, "look for, aid and e fort to
those nations under who se f1ags they
are pleased to ply' their ships." -

uary, 1929. Assistant Postmaster General

SALARY DETAILS
Mother Given $50,000
Yearly For Taking
Care Of Family
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
LOS ANGBLEJS, Jan. 10.—Mary Pick-
ford appeared in a Probate Court here
today to protest against the alleged ex-
cessive inheritance tax on the estate of
her mother, who died last year.
In the course of her evidence she said
that in 1919 she was earning $10,800 a
week and in the following year began
producing her own pictures. In 1917
she saved over $400,000 out of her salary
of - $560,000. She paid her mother
$26,000 a. year as a salary in 1916 and
$50,000 a year as salary for the two
foilowing years.
"Mother," said the witness, "was paid
for taking care of us ail—our personal
expenses, donations, and so on. Her
services were valuable because she was
virtually the head . of the family and
we could not manàge without her."
BANKER DESCRIBES
CANAD'S VIRTUES
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
MONTREAL., Jan. 10.— Canadian busi-
ness men were greatly impressed by the
constructive suggestion put forward to-
day at the annual meeting of the Royal
Bank of Canada by C. E. Neill, manag-
ing director, who clâitn.ed that Canada
should advertise more widely its position
as a great marketing center where an
army'of American visitors could secure
European goods at more advantageous
prices than in the United States, owing
to the preferential tariff.
Canada, he 'declared, holds first place
in the play grounds of the world. Its
scenic, historie and other attractions
bring every year approximately 15,000,-
000 visitors whose expenditures are esti-
mated by the Dominion Bureau of Statis-
tics to have been, in 192'8, $250,000,000.

Hundred Hurt As Gas Tank Explosions
Shake Globe Theatre In Philadelphia
Windows Smashed For
Miles About; Two
Workers Missing
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10.—Two labor-
ers are missing and more than a hundred.
persons were hurt in a sériés of explo-
sions which shook the Globe Theatre
here yesterday. T\\o of the injured per-
sons are not expected to live and sixteen
others are in a serious condition. The
whole central section of the city was
rocked by the terrifie detonations.
Sparks from a blow torch ignited one
of the five tanks of gas and compressed
air in the théâtre, causing the first blast.
Fire broke out immediately and the four
other tanks exploded in quick suce^sion.
Windows were smashed within a radius
of a mile by the force of the blasts. The
théâtre itself was partially demolished
and great quantities of debris were show-
ered in ail directions. A piece of sheet
metal from one of the gas containers was
hurled out of the building, injuring two
firemen on an engine which had rushed
to the scene' to extinguish the flames
which broke out.
Ambulances and médical aid outfits
dashed to the spot and dozens of people
were tàken to hospitals. Many others
who were eut by splinters of glass and
flyjng debris refused to gô to the hospitals
for médical treatment and patched them-

Girl Press Agent
Turns Tables On
Lobby Quiz Body
Called To Be Grilled,
Miss Jones Lampoons.
Committee
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. lO.-Gladys "Moon
Jones, the $27,000-a-year publitity agent
for the Cuban sug'ar interests, took the
conter of the stage today and lampooned
the Senate Lobby Investigating Com-
mi t tee for its tacties used in the sugar
quiz.
Before Senator Caraway or the other
members of the Lobby Committee could
fire their prearranged list of questions at
the young publicity woman, she had
reversed the situation and was subject-
ing the committee to a grilling.'
In no uncertain terms she told the
committee and the assembled Sena.tors
that their procédure was illégal and
underhanded. She declared that they had
nt; right to seize private correspondence
and that their chief purposës were to
create politicial difficulties for Président
Hoôver and to whitewash domestic suga.r
interests. , .. , f
"Gladys then suggested, and none too
mildly. that the committee investigate
more fully the lobbyists hired by
domestic sugar producers and ihcidentat-
ly probe into their methods and actiyities.
These lobbyists, she declared, had suc-
ceeded in getting "their men" elected for
seats in the House and Senate.
In backing up her charge she named
specifically Representative Timberlake,
of Colorado, the chairman of the House
Sub-Committee on Sugar, and Senator
Waterman, of Colorado, who has been a
counsel for the Great Western Sugar
Company, as having got into power
through domestic sugar interehts. She
then implicated Senator Smoot, chairman
of the Senate Sub-Committee on Sugar
and Chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee.
MINERS DENUDE
AND CHASE AWAY
STRIKE BREAKERS
4,000 In Demonstration
Stopped After Clash
With Police
(Tribune Press Service)
SYDNEY, Jan. 10.—Violence attended
clashes between the police, striking mine
workers and strike . breakers in the
northern coal filelds today when an army
of 3,000 strikers marched to Aahton Fields
Coiliery, 27 miles from Rothbury, sur-
rounded the mine head after overpower-
ing the police guard, and awaited the
arrivai of the non-unio::1i:-:t workmen.
When the latter arrived to go to work,
the strikers seized them, stripped off
their clothes- and chased them na.kcd
from the mine, prodding them with sticks
to hasten their progress. A sulky oon-
taining three non-uaionists was set afire
and destroyed.
At dawn another army of miners led
by a contingent of 250 ex-soldiers left
Cesshock for Rothbury, and a third con-
tingent of 4,000, including 200 former
service men, left Kurri Kurri for the
same destination. ' ;
Their march was stopped before the
mines were reached and the men return-
ed to their homes. It developed later
that this march on 'Rothbury was simply
a démonstration, to 'divert attention from
affairs at Ashton Fields.
The miners claim a stratégie victory
over the police, but the latter report
that they . have the situation well in
hand.

3,000,000 Jobless
Today In America,
Says Labor Chief
Green Wants A Survey
To Find Solution
Of Difficulty
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
NEW YORK;, Jan. 10. — There are
3,000,000 unemployed in the United States
at the present day, according to an estim-
ate made by William Green, president of
the American Federation of Labor, here
today. He suggests that the Council of
the Federation undertake a national sur-
vey of the problem in the hope of finding
a satisfactory solution.
According to Mr. Green, the situation
was already serious before the recent
stock crash and it has grown much worse
since then.
The use of machinery and mass pro-
duction are the chief causes of the idle-
nèss of so many American workers, in
his opinion. As for the cinema industry,
he says that the talking pictures, with
tlieir "canned" music, are creating havoc.
He foresees a time when musicians will
no longer be required at ail in theatres.
Mr. Green's estimate of 3,000,000 un-
employed is largely guesswork but it is
generally believed to be conservative.
Wants Better Figures.
In order that it may be possible to
secure unemployment statistics compar-
able in accuracy to those possessed by
Great Britain, he urges that the Depart-
ment of Labor in Washington expand its
machinery to include every branch of in-
dustry.
At present the figures available are
totally inadéquate. - Statistics for many
departments of manufacturing as well a.9
for mining, quarrying, petroleum produc-
tion, agriculture, lumlbering, transporta-
tion and wholesale and retail trade are
either totally lacking or hopelessly in-
sufficient.
ln an effort to remedy this defect, bills
were introduced in both Houses of Con-
gress yesterday at the instigation of Sen-
ator Robert F. Wagner, Democrat of
New York. Senator Wagner also pro-
posed the undertaking of public works to
help those at present unemployed.
One other remedy which has been pro-
posed is the enactmenf of State laws to
regulate employment agencies. The
agencies, some of which have sprung up
fecently, take fees ranging from $5 to
$25 for the registration of unemployed
persons for jobs which are either in-
existent or inaccessible to the agents. The
more reputable sort of agency would not
be envisaged by the proposed législation.

U. S. LAWS ILL
ENFORCED, SAYS
HOOVER'S BOARD
Statement Calls Crime
System 'Entirely
Inadéquate'
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The failuve
of the nation to enforce prohibition was
admitted today by President Hoover'f
Law Enforcement Commission in its
first extensive statement. "The criminal
law enforcement machinery of the coua-
try is entirely inadéquate," stated Chair-
man Wickersham.
"The capacity and effectiveness of the
national machinery for law enforcement,"
he declared, "are overtaxed by prohibi-
tion, drug, white slave, automobile theft,
immigration and other laws."
The statement mentioned prohibition
dlrectly only in reeounting the four re-
commendations made to the président.
The commission adjourned today until
Feb. 5.
President Hoover's perturbation over the
recent anti-prohibition agitation caused by
a series of killings by dry agents and
Coast Guards and by the demands by
Senator Borah and his insurgent asso-
ciates for a reform of the prohibition
enforcement personnel today caused the
announcement that the President would
yield to Congress and send to it the
reports of his Law Enforcement Com-
mission on Monday, accompan;ed by his
recommendations for législation.
The Président had indicated about two
weeks ago that the reports would be
sent to Congress only after the ap-
pointment of a joint committee of the
two houses to conaider them and work
out législative measures. This Congress
refused to do, inssting that the chief
executive shoulder the responsibility for
the legislation by making definite re-
commendations.
It has been the attitude among the
"political drys" in Congress, especially
those up for réélection this year, that
the less said about prohibition the better,
and it is felt, that âny further stringent
enforcement is apt' to result in more
with thç
'conséquent reflections upon its makers.
However, the administration feels that
RAGING BLIZZARD
CLAMPS MIDDLE
WEST IN ITS GRIP
New York Enjoys Sun,
But Awaits Arrivai
Of More Winter
(Special Cable To The Tribune).
CHICAGO, Jan. 10.—After a brief
holiday breathing spell the Middle West
is again clamped down tight under the
icy l.id of a howling January blizzard
which shows no signs yet of loosening
its grip on the middle section of the
country.
The storm and cold wave are spread-
ing a sheet of sleet and snow over the
whole region of the cen.tral states, with
the snowdrifts still steadily and silently
elimbing. In Chicago the fall has
reached nine jnches, and drifts from
six to 18 inches deep are blocking rura!
roads in the outlying country.
Telephone communications have been
interrupted between a number of
centers, although the railroads have so
far . been able to maintain their
schedules.
In the meantime New York still en-
joys a lamblike treatment at the hands
of the fickle climate, spring tempéra-
tures and bi/ght skies marking this as
one of the most favored Januaries in
local history. But it won't be for long.
and the Gothamitee are already lifting
a weather eye, as they say, toward the
west, out of which the cold blast is due
in a few hours to pounce down on the
island.

ence Campbell, President of the Eugenic
Research Association in an address be-
fore the members of the Clergymen's
Committee of the American Eugenics
Society.
"It is well known," said Dr. Campbell,
"that the best quality. of leaders arise
in the greatest frequency from families
of the clergy. Any movement to encour-
age the clergy to have bigger and better
families by granting a bonus would not
only be a human obligation but also an
eugenic measure which, contains the
greatest promise of sustaining and ÏJl-
creasing the world's most valuable racial
stock."
According to Dr. Campbell, human pro -
gress is seriously jeopardized by tho
fact that the best families do not even
average four children.
It was agreed that a meeting to con-
sider the advisability of offering a "child
bonus" to professors and scientists would
be held very soon. As philanthropy and
charity was administered today, it was
declared that eugenically inferior familles
were ancouraged to grow beyond aIl
sense of proportion, thus hastening the
deterioration of mankind.
BRITISH VISION
ERA OF NO USE
FOR ARMAMENT
But 50 Cruisers Held
To Be Minimum For
Present Needs
(Tribune Press Service)
LONDON, Jan. 10.-Stating that the
British Admiralty '"feels justified in look-
ing forward to the time when armcd
conflicts need no longer be expected," •
A. V. Alexander, First Lord of the 1
Admiralty, explained in a speech at Shef-
field tonight why the British naval
authorities are now wilting to accept 50 ■
as a maximum number of cruisers,
instead of the 70 on which they insisted
at previous disarmament conférences.
l'he reduced number of second-line
vessels is acceptable, he &aid, i--i view of
"ail the circumstances of today and
especially the Pact of Paris and the
improved world relationships." He added -,
that the tentative figure of 50 was, of ■
course, dépendent on an agreemen.t at '
trie London Conférence on ".adéquats
limitation of projected building programs
by other powers."
In the course of his speech, Mr.
Alexander declared, "I want to acknowl-
edge that up to the present the press .
of this country has maintained an at-
titude of great friend'liness and helpful-
ness in regard to the coming Five Power
Naval Conferen.ce. But with the emer- '
gence of some of the main problems to
bd considered, and particularly the prob-
lem of cruiser strength, 1 have observ-
ed a tendency in the press to ask, 'What
is the attitude of the Admiralty with
regard to the fixing of the minimum
requirements in cruiser strength of the '
British Empire at 50 ships instead of the
70 ships which were asked for in 1927?'
Policy Is Government's.
"Let me say at the outset that in
décisions of policy on matters of this kind
it is the Government which is responsible
and which must answer to the nation, but
in view of the nature of certain questions
which have been put in the press, I think
that it would be opportune for me. as
First Lord of the' Admiralty, to explain •
the Admiralty's view.
"Our estimatè of the défense' require-
ments of the British Empire has been
summed up in the policies of the suc-
cessive Governments of His Majesty here
and in the Dominions: viz, the one Dower
Extension Of Naval
Holiday First U. S.
Aim At Conference
Delegation On Peace
Ship Thinks Plan Has
Good Chance
(Special Radio To 'The Tribune')
ON BOARD S. S. GEORGE WASH-
INGTON, Jan. lO.-The extension of
the present Five Power holiday from bat-
tleship construction, under the terms of
the Treaty of Washington, will be the
first objective of the American delega-
tion to the London Naval Conference
which opens on the 21 st this month. Such
is the consensus of opinion among well
informe,d people on board this ship, which
is carrying the hundred odd members of
the American délégation to the ail-
important gathering.
Although no formai agreement has yet
been reached with Great Britain on this
vital subject, members of the Amepican
group have stated that they consider it
to be one of the projects which has the ■
best chances of getting quick résulta,
Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of State
and leader of the delegation, said that he
had agreed to give the delegates a rest
before the shipboard conferences during
which it is expected that the program of
routine work and other matters will be
mapped out for the duration of the
parley. These meetings will probably start
on Monday.
Mr. Stimson sent a wireless message
to President Hoover saying, "Our delega- .
tion has sailed with a deep appreciation
of the responsibility of the mission which
you have entrusted to us and the earnest
desire to reach a result worthy of that
trust." :

ings, which dropped seriously immed-
iately following the slump in stock
prices, are now nearly back to normal
volume, according to représentatives of
steamship companies and tourist agen-
cies, and, in certain classes of travel, are
higher than ever before at this season,
an inquiry yesterday disclosed.
Officiais of travel concerns declared
that if their businesses were any criter-
ion, public confidence had been restored
and the normal amount of money would
soon be active in this recreational field.
The United States Lines, largest Amer-
ican steamship company catering to the
trans-Atlantic passenger trade, finds
business "just about back to normal," a
spokesman declared. The only clasa of
travel that has fallen off materially,
he said, was that of buyers for depart-
ment stores.
Tourist travel was practically normal,
he said, and there was a greater number ', -
