Mary Had a Little Lamb School, which opens next Monday morning, under the patronage of Henry Ford, is Betty Harrington, 8-year-old granddaughter of If. W.

Jones of this town. The little girl la the great-great-great-great-great-granddafcighter of David Ilowe, who built the Wayside Inn. Sliding down Bunker Hill st, Charlestown, at a speed estimated at about 60 miles an hour, a trailer, which became free when Its coupling with a work car of the Boston Elevated napped, smashed Into two trucks this morning. Injuring one man, then continued Its wild dash more than a quarter of a mile before It came to a Leo Dooley, 20, of 13 KJppy et, Everett, who was sitting on thefront seat of a coke truck owned and operated by Joseph Barbato of 19 Robbins st, Everett, Is In the Haymarket Relief Hospital, suffering from contusions and abrasions of the head and body. The full extent of hia injuries are not known, but it is tnought that his condition Is not critical.

Fat Many In Frrll Shortly after 8:15 the work car with the trailer attached, was proceeding from Sullivan sq up Bunker Hill fit. The car was operated by motorman Renford Thompson of 45 Stowe road. Mattapan. At the peak of the hill, almost opposite the corner of North Mead st, the coupling attachment gave way and the heavy trailer glided down the hill. Within very short time it had gained a terrific speed sliding on the slippery tracks, and several pedestrains had to Jump to safety.

Drivers of machines and teams swung madly to the side and by so doing, narrowly averted serious accidents. Gaining momentum all the time, the trailer is estimated to have been traveling at about 60 miles an hour when it reached the bottom of the hill and continued along Into Main st. ments while the officer was hld'r. there and soon after tho bells to ring. Sll The women fipoke through the tub to the door and released the latch a man stepped inside and the wotn told the officer ho was the same low who had annoyed them on lh street.

The officer dashed down threl flights of fitalrs and out onto 8aeT more st. lie saw a man running Sagamore fit. and caught him near the corner of Newbury a. When stopped the man he noticed he wora glasses, whereas the man who hai entered the apartment a few minute before had none. Officer Walsh took the man back and the women Identified him accord to the report made by the ofHcer to Headquarters.

Tho officer aiti the man also broke a pint bottle near tha patrol box, but that the bottle wa empty and contained no odor or liquor. Denies Accusations Nolan denied the accusations of the women and dvts Indignant at his arrest. When ho came to Headquarter Nolan was recognized by tho ottic.lali there as a man who was arrested on suspicion two weeks ago by patrolman Daniel J. Collins. It was thought st that time by the police that he might bo the man who aceo.ded Mrs Edns Stocker of Atlantic, while she was os her way home from church, on the night, of Jan 2.

In that case the ttm asked Mrs Stocker for her pocket-book and she told him she had non. He swore at her, sho said, and went away. Nolan was brought to Mr Mocker's home the next morning and the said he was not tho man who had accosted her. On the night of Ms arrest, 6erp Joseph Delorey, who has charge of the Atlantic beats, looked Nol.m over and said ho recognized him as the mt who wore glasses part of the time and went without them ut other time. Because he could not be identified Mrs istocker, the papers nut Nolan's name at the time, is he allowed to go from custody without be.

Ing arraigned in court. Nolan Is married and lias a family, He told the police he was employed at the Fish 1Jcr In Boston and that a terrible mistake had been mad in arresting him on the charge. of the women. QUINCY, Jan 15-A man giving hla name as J. Frank Nolan of 54 Colby road, Norfolk Downs, yeas arrested last night by patrolman Jeremiah Walsh on a charge of being' a suspicious person.

In court today the case against Nolan was continued till Monday. The police say that Nolan was identified last night by two women who claimed they were chased by the man and pelted with pieces of ice and snow. The alleged chase occurred near the Neponset Bridge in the Atlantic section, where officer Walsh Is stationed at night. The police refused this morning to- give the name3 of the women on the ground the latter did not want to have any newspaper publicity. For several weeks past there have been a number of complaints from the Atlantic Section about a man annoying women on the streets after dark.

As far as is known there has been no attempt made to assault any of them, but the man has made himself obnoxious by his remarks and tho appearance of his clothing. -Because of his activities the section became somewhat prominent in the papers as the abode of Jack the Hugger. Officer Walsh has spent many nights trying to locate this man, hiding behind trees and foies for hours in the cold, hoping the fellow would come along, but up till last night he saw nothing to arouse suspicions. Heard Women Cry Out Last night he heard two women cry out: Theres a policeman, now," and saw a man run from tho direction of the Neponset Bridge up towards Atlantic. Officer Walsh ran to the women and they told him the man had thrown pieces of ice and snow at them.

The women said they lived in the Sagamore Apartments on Sagamore st, and they also said they recognlzecf tho man as a fellow who was in the habit of ringing the bells of the apartments and asking if the occupants were alone. Officer Walsh, sensing the fellow might go to the apartments, ran across lots and got there first. He hid himself inside and made himself known to the people living there. The two women who were annoyed on Hancock fit came home to their rooms in the apart ASK TAX GO ON ALLDIVIDENDS Goodwin and Houdlette Cite Boston Elevated 57X(frVrV' 'i German Nationalist Daily Says, Purge Our Religion Of AH Foreign Heroes BERLIN, Jan 15 -(A. A cry for a new Messiah to inculcate the German people with a religion based on true German ideals is raised by a group of Nationalist and Monarchist leaders.

The ChrisHan God whom we have worshiped has deserted us and gone over to our enemies, one manifesto declares. The Deutsche Zeitung, one of the chief Nationalist dailies in the country, published another appeal which read in part as follows: Away wVh everything which is foreign and repellent to the Germanmind! We must purge our religion of all foreign heroes. No longer must our children be taught to respect Abraham. Jacob, who defrauded his father and brother and was rewarded with riches, and David, who slew Goliath at a safe istance, instead of in honorable combat, are not red-blooded men in the Germanic sense. Our religion in the future must be German in language and character! To which the Socialist daily, Vor-waerts, replies: The German heroes, which the Monarchists, presumably, would have us worship, are the murderers of Erzberger and Rathenau and the chieftains of the Black Reichs-wehr, who killed a score of Republican sympathizers.

swung along Main st and a short distance further along It hit the truck of Barbato and completely demolished it. The truck was loaded with bags of coke and with the impact the coke was hurled into the air and several pedestrians where showered with it. That Barbato and Dooley were not Instantly killed is miraculous. Street Car Traffic Delayed The trailer, which was of the flatcar type, came to a complete stop after demolishing Barbatos truck and showering Main st with the fuel. The trailer was not damaged, but as a result of this final collision street-car traffic In Charlestown was delayed almost a half-hour while an Elevated wrecking crew cleared the tracks of the debris and removed the 'runaway.

Citizens ran to the assistance of Barbato and Dooley, giving the latter first aid in a nearby store until the arrival of the ambulance of Station 15, which removed him to the Hay-markeit Relief Hospital. Barbato was badly shaken up and bruised, but he refused hospital treatment. GLOUCESTER REPUBLICS COMMITTEE REELECTS GLOUCESTER, Jan 15 The annual meeting of the Republican city committee was held last evening at the Community House, Representative Harold B. Webber presiding. Harold B.

Webber was reelected chairman, and Clifford B. Terry, secretary-treasurer. Blood Test Made After Death Proves Accident Victim Was Intoxicated PARIS, Jan 15 (A. A blood test Is the really modern way to determine whether a staggering man is really drunk. Striking proof that this is more certain than the old-timo police method of making a suspect walk a chalk lino has been accepted, by the Paris -courts.

It is true that the experiment in this case was a dead man. but chemists say the method will work as well on a live A motorist ran into a pedestrian who staggered into the. cars right of way. The man was killed. Thexoi was no eyewitnesses and the driver demanded an autopsy.

Leon Bonn, an expert chemist attached to the courts, analyzed the victims blood and found alochol in sufficient quantity to indicate the man had drunk about four quarts of wine of 10 percent alcoholic content. That made four-fifths of a pint of pure alcohol, which, the Judges agreed, was enough to make the hardest drinker disregard traffic regulations. Few Efficient Concierges Concierges who really protect the buildings under their charge have almost disappeared and are mourned by some of the retrospective French people, who are appalled at the number of burglaries. Concierges are institutions in France They are installed in little one or two room apartments on the ground floors of the flat buildings, so they can watch the front door and keep out undesira ble persons. They have certain police powers and usually are In close relations with the police.

They collect the rent, close the front door at a fixed hour at night and by means of a wire or an electric system release the lock for late callers or tenants. The caller generally required to announce the name of the persoa to be visjtedi and the tenant always announces himself when returning at The concierge puts on the stair lights, which sure automatically extinguished within a few minutes. In the old days the concierges had free rent, a small salary and tips from every one. Few get salaries now and their ambition causes them to do outside work that frequently leaves the buildings unprotected. Even when they are there their vigilance has been so relaxed that- they afford but slight protection.

Newspapers, therefore, have criticised them, and to support their case point to the increase in burglaries. Bus Men earing Sabots Sabots, the big French wooden shoes, have been adopted by many of the autobus conductors of Paris during the cold weather. When the thermometer hit freezing recently, a whole flock of the bus men reverted to the methods of their youth. They knew that thick woolen socks and the unrestrained movement of their feet would allowed the blood to circulate, while the tight shoes of civilization limited the thickness of socks and Impeded the flow of blood. Sabots, carved of wood, are also cheap and durable.

How to Escape Hearing Speeches Louts Barthou, Minister of Justice, has learned by long experience in many Cabinets. that listening to speeches is sometimes a bore and not always convenient. He has discovered one way of escaping in an emergency. At a recent banquet that dragged, the speeches bad not yet begun at a time when Barthou had an appointment he really wished to keep. Someone began the toasts by proposing the health of the President of the Republic.

Barthou, a quick thinker, jumped to his feet: Drink it standing. he shouted. Everyone was glad so to honor M. Douniergue. In the hubbub and the noise of moving chairs.

Barthou quickly backed away from the table and left the room. Foreign Minister Briand, watching him, shook his finger at him. and ilie next day leaned over him at the Cabinet meeting and said, Pig. Miraculous Escapes When opposite 5S5 Main st, Keren J. Lowry of 171 Belgrade av.

Roslin-dale, made an attempt to swing his truck out of the way of the unmanned runaway, but was unsuccessful. The trailer sideswiped the truck and snapped off one of the rear wheels. Lowry was shaken up considerably hut managed to escape without serious injury. Continuing the dash without slackening after this collision, the trailer GASOLINE AND LUXURY TAX Urged by the Boston- Real Estate Exchange Stirred up by Mayor Nichols public admission that he cannot hope to reduce the present $31.80 tax rate this year by more than $1, If, indeed, he is able to pull it down as much as that, Boston Real Estate Exchange is redoubling its efforts to influence the Legislative Committee on Municipal Finances, in its coming hearing upon the fixing of the city tax limit, to make the most drastic cuts in the Mayors own budget estimates. Thus this group hopes to force a reduction of $2 or $3 In the rate, when Mt is declared next Summer, the limit, soon to be fixed by the Legislature, being that part of the rate which Is expended for upkeep of city departments.

exclusive of schools. Intending to reduce the size of the taxation burden which real estate has so long borne, the exchange is declared by its leaders to be committed to a tax on gasoline, a petition for which the Mayor himself introduced a lull on Beacon Hill today and the exchange will also agitate for a sales tax on luxuries. The exchange Is doink its utmost to win the full support of the Chamber of Commerce, the Associated Industries and other such financial, commercial and industrial groups to the exchange's own program looking to a shift in tax burdens. The exchange committee for -this work, headed by T. P.

King as chairman. has had numerous interviews lately with the Mayor, the Finance Commission and other interested parties such as those described above. LEFT $1,500,000 TO CARDINAL HAYES Banker John Whalens Gift to New York Archbishop NEW YORK. Jan 14 (A. Whalen, banker, lawyer and formerly rorporation counsel of New York, who died Dec 31.

Mr Whalen, who was a bachelor, made two specific bequests, each for 5100.000. One was to the Church of St Catherine of Genoa of New York city, and the other to Nellie M. Mahoney of this city, Tor long and faithful services.

The other half of the estate, the two bequests excepted, will go to the heirs at law. 19 cousins. Mr Whalen formerly was dean of Fordham Law School. COL HUGHES TO BE CHIEF OF STAFF, FIRST CORPS AREA The assignment of Ool John II. Hughes, now commanding the 26th United States Infantry at Plattsburg Barracks, to be chief of staff of the First Corps Area, the New England army district, was announced vesterday.

He will succeed Col Charles D. Roberts, chief of staff here since 1924. A native of New York, Col Hughes was graduated from West Point in 1373. During the war he served as Inspector General of the Supply Service of the Expeditionary Forces in Tntnce. He will report here Oct 1.

Other assignments to the General Staff here, announced at the same time, are: Lieut Col Edmund A. Buchanan. Cavalry, now ou duty at the Army War College in Washington, and Maj Walton A. Goodwin Jr. now with the 5th Cavalry at Fort Clark, Tex.

The two latter officers begin duties here July I. ONE TRAIN STOP TO BE RESTORED Prides Crossing Will Get Back One to Boston The Public Utilities Commission today ordered the Boston Maine Railroad to etop train No. 2516 at Prides Crossing station, Beverly, bound for Boston and arriving at that station at 10:47 am. William Caleb Loring and others had petitioned the commission t.o compel the railroad to restore four stops previously made by trains at that station. Ietition to Restore Four Trains In its order today, the commission says Tho following passenger trains are the object of the petition: No.

2506 to Boston, passing at about 8:05 a No. 2516 to Boston, passing at about 10:47 a (now a flag stop) No. 2537 from Boston, passing at about 5:45 and No. 2547 from Boston, passing at about 10:15 m. These or similar corresponding trains formerly stopped at this station, but.

in the general readjustment of service by the railroad officials, to speed up the running time of trains to the larger communities at some distance from Boston, the number of trains on. the Gloucester branch stopping at Prides Crossing weekdays was reduced from 15 each way to seven inbound and nine outbound. Including flag stops. The petitioners now request the restoration of thes: four stops. Under the former service the 15 trains each way stopped at all stations on the branch, possibly one exception, regardless of the varying amount of patronage at each station.

Under the readjusted schedule those stations showing the smaller nurabe of patrons are not served as frequently as the stations having the larger number. This results In quicker service for tho larger numbers in some instances, and inconvenience for the few in not having as many trains available at their respective-stations. Opposition From Patrons Pride Crossing Is one of the smaller stations, with fewer patrons than Gloucester, Manchester or even Bverly Farms. By rail, the Beverly Farms station is only .7 of a mile from the Brides Crossing station. and only slightly farther by road.

The Montserrat station is 2.4 miles from Pridea Crossing station by rail. All the trains in question stop at botli Beverly Fernis and Montserrat. There was considerable opposition to the petition by patrons from Gloucester and other points further down the Cape. If these stops petitioned for were restored, the patrons at other stations, such as West Manchester, Magnolia and West Gloucester, would undoubted, ly feel justified in applying for restoration of some of the stops eliminated from those stations which logically might also be granted, resulting In almost nullifying the attempt of the railroad to speed up service. Would Expedite Mail There was considerable dissatisfaction expressed at the mail service, particularly with reference to train No.

2516, which now stops part of the time and which could take mail if it stopped regularly. This is now scheduled as a flat stop at 10:47 a and stops on an average of five days In the week. Because of the fact that this train now stops so frequently, and the further fact that if made a regular stop the mall could be handled thereon, we believe that the railroad company should make this a regular stop. In view of all the above facts, we do not feel justified at this time in ordering the restoration of the stops aske'd for, with the exception of train No. 2516.

Accordingly, it Is ordered, that on and after Jan 24, 1927, the Boston Maine Railroad ston train No. 2516 at Prides Crossing station.

AERIAL HIGHWAY TO RELIEVE JAM Bill Filed to Care for the Express -Motor Traffic A h'll tiled today with the Massachusetts Legislature by Kept raentatlv Martin Hays of Brighton, on petition of William J. McDonald, V.

C. lim Wetmore and others, provides for an aerial highway for express motor traffic so planned that It will atoms take 100,000 motor vehicles per day off the congested streets of Boston, The cost of the structure proposed 1 estimated at $8,500,000. Consequent land damages, etc, arc estimated it $6,500,000. The route of the aerial highway would be from Cottage Farm BrlJi over the Boston Albany track to the South which point th present elevated struct tires of the Boston Elevated would be unciI to cob-nect with the North Station, hern across the rear of the North Station to tile Boston end of the Charles River dam. Would Prevent Delay The petitioners declare such a hridgt would make it.

possible for drivers ol commercial and passenger vehicles to get across town or out of town In any direction without the slightest delay from cross-street traffic. A statement issued by the petitioner says: The economy element of the plan lies In the fact that by taking advantages of these ready-made and rights of way, Boston would achieve a bargain in public improvements of inestimable cash value citizens and to properties along til way. TRAINS DELAYED AT NORTH STATION Engine From Danvers Breaks Eccentric A broken eccentric on engine 2404, -f the Boston Maine Railroad, fro Danvers, caused a delay of about half-hour liiThat. train reaching NortA Station this morning.

British Scientist Says Telepathy Will Do Away Soon With Lip-Wagging LONDON, Jan 15 (A. After transatlantic telephone service and television will come telepathy, which will do away with lip-wagging, breathpuffing antics now essential to transmission of our thought, is the prediction of Prof A. M.

Low, British scientist. Wireless is developing human senses at such a rate that it is preparing the way for telepathy, Prof Low contends. As it is, we are not content to receive an impression by mans senses alone. We don't judge our friends by what they say, but by their looks, their touch, their smell and other senses of which we have no more knowledge than had ancient Egyptians of the X-ray or milk bacteria, Science Confirms Bible, Says Lodge Bible marvels are receiying growing support from science, says Sir Oliver Lodge, the noted physicist, and the progress of science is tending to strengthen theology in all its vital aspects. Certain Bible occurrences, he says, have been doubted, such as the direct voice at the Baptism, the Presence of the Transfiguration, Sauls vision on the road to Damascus.

All these things science is beginning to show were true happenings. I look forward to the time when incarnation will be rationally recognized as both a Divine and -human fact. Short Ilair May Last Two Years The Eton crop will last perhaps for another two years, but Emile, hair dressing expert, believes a reversion to long hair will certainly come within the next three. Lecturing before a group of hairdressers, he expressed the opinion that a return to long hair would bring longer basing his argument on the theory that women's hair dressing styles run in cycles and short hair periods generally average about 10 years. Dinner of 500 Years Ago Revived After a lapse of 229 years, an ancient legal dinner was revived here when the Benchers of Lincolns Inn entertained the Benchers of Middle Temple.

In the reeprd of Lincoln's Inn there are entries referring to this dinner as far back as 1422. King George, as Senior Bencher of Lincolns Inn, was one of the invited guests. In 1679 the dinner was abandoned because of a fire in Pump Court. The River Thames was frozen over, water was hard to obtain, and it is recorded that the fire engines of the time played away many barrels of beer. Moths Killing Britains Oaks Britains oak trees, whose praises have been sung by bards for hundreds of years, are being attacked by a mysterious epidemic which is beiug investigated by research workers of the Forestry Commission.

An assistant of the commission says mildew and rover moth are responsible for the disease which has spread over the southern counties and killed many of the oldest oaks. Fears are expressed that the finest oaks, planted in the 17th Century, will be wiped out in another 20 years. Many young trees are being planted by the commission, as it is pointed out that an oak plantation takes so long in coming to maturity that private enterprise cannot make It a commercial proposition. The British oak is therefore becoming nationalized. Shows a Times of 100 Years Ago The Times and there is only one Times so far as Britishers are concerned-makes a feature in its uptown office of displaying each day a copy of the newspaper of that particular date just 100 years ago.

The Times, Englands most conservative and staple paper, today, as a century back, still devotes its first page to advertisements, and in 1826 there were just as many housewives as now contact with singers on the stage despite the din of the orchestra about him. He had a microphone installed on the stage connected with earphones which he wears clamped over his head. This enables him to hear the singers better and thus follow them with greater precision than is ordinarily possible from the orchestra pit. Trackless Street Railway Hamburg enjoys the distinction of having installed the first trackless street railway in Germany. It consists of an omnibus to which are attached two or three The new train Is used for suburban service between Hamburg and the towns of Harberg and Bergedorf.

A special coupling device enables the trailers to follow exactly in the wake of the head car. The trailers are equipped with air brakes controlled by the driver of the bus train. Fish Kitchens on Main Streets Popular fish kitchens, recently installed in Berlin after a model of London, may be all right, but a number of business men have launched protests with the police against the odor. They approve of the idea underlying the recent erection of fish kitchens in all sections of the city, namely, that of enabling even the workers of moderate means to get a warm meal at midday. But.

they ask, why must these fish kitchens be domiciled on the main business streets, next to fashionable shops? Among the most vociferous objectors are the owners of flower shops and perfume stores. PRINGIPAtS OF HIGH SCHOOLS IN SESSION E. B.

For driving while under the Influence of liauor he was given si? months in the House of Correction, or $50 fine. He paid the fine. The ease was heard by Judge John C.

Lynch, attorney Chester Williams appearing for the Government and attorney William Murray for the Frank A. Goodwin, State registrar of motor vehicles, and Elmer C. Houdlette of the State Department of Public Works, are petitioners for legislation under which stockholders in Massachusetts corporations would be taxed on their dividends 6 percent. Owners of. such securities are now exempt from paying a tax on their dividends.

Holders of stocks in foreign corporations, however, pay a 6 percent levy. Mr Goodwin, who is acting president of the Commonwealth Service Association, has issued a statement, in whifh he eays: The time has come to blow the false economy smoke screen from the State House. It is one thing to save money, but an entirely different thing not to spend money that ought to be spent for improvements and service that must be paid for inevita-bly with compound interest. The bill I have presented will tax these dividends at the same rate we are now taxing dividends from foreign corporations, and if it is passed almost $10,000,000 will be taken from these people who do nothing but sit idly by and collect dividends. This tremendous sum will be turned back to the citizens and towns to reduce the tax rate and the taxes on real estate, which is now staggering under all it can bear, and it will necessarily relieve the farmer, the small home-owner and the rent-payer.

Just to give one illustration: In 1926 the stockholders of the Boston Elevated road, alone, took unto themselves $3,119,532 in dividends which would represent some 31,000,000 rides paid for by the straphangers at 10 cents per. Of this sum $1,474,815 went to the holders of old West End stock, representing the value of surface lines which would have been turned back to them as junk in 1922, at the termination of the Elevated leases, but for the Elevated control bill. The rest of the amount, $1,644,000. went to the shareholders of the Elevated stock on a guaranteed 6 percent dividend, although under private control in 1918 they received only 2 percent. WIN PRIZE-SPEAKING CONTEST IN BROOKLINE The annual J.

Murray Kay prize speaking was held at Brookline High School last evening. The winners were Albert B. Forbes and Esther Graham, both of whom are graduates of the Pierce Grammar School. Four boys and four girls competed in the prize speaking. Forbes read The Strenuous Life by Roosevelt, and Miss Graham gave as her number, Old King Pharaohs Daughter.

SCOTT LAW CLUB DEFEATS JEREMIAH SMITH CLUB The Scott Club defeated the Jeremiah Smith Club in the final argument in the Ames competition of the Harvard Law School last night in Langdell Hall before a distinguished group of prominent graduates. The winners of this competition hold one of the highest honors in the Law School.

Traffic Cops to Stand on Heaters There will be no more cold feet for Berlin traffic cops this Winter if a system of artificial hot-water bags at street intersections finds general adoption.

The scheme consists of installing electric heating devices in the heavy glass-incased gaiety islands upon which cops stand during the day, and which are illuminated from the inside with red lights at night. Traffic officers at the few intersections, where the device is in use. are pleased with the idea. They say it is standing on top of a warm stove. To Run Ilohenzollern Estates Col Leopold von Kleist, who takes office this month as administrator gen-eral of the House of Hohenzollern in Berlin, has long been the most intimate friend and confidant of the cx-Kaiser.

His appointment is taken as evidence of Williams policy of continuing to reward his stanch adherents despite the loss of his throne. Col von Kleist was made aid-de- camp to the Kaiser in 1909. During the war he was commander of the Gardes du Corps and was decorated for valiant service. Though little seen about the exile Mila at Doom, until recently, it ir he has been in the ex-Kaiser service since the war He succeeds Friedrich von Berg, who wmrt'edJtf hye resigned because of William a dissatisfaction with the Indemnification settlement with the State of Prussia in which the Hohen-zollerns received $25,000,000 in cash and property. Stresemann En-Xobeled Award of the Nobel peace prize to Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann has led one of the wags in the diplomatic set to invent a pun which he tried out for the first time at the recent ball of the Turkish Club.
