Jam. Probably 20,000 persons had thronged through Mechanics Hall since the Massachusetts Horticultural Society opened the dooirs on its 100th anniversary show yesterday afternoon. The second day crowd had guides to follow.

Th ejudges had done their work and the sprinkling of blue ribbon awards pointed to the most distinguished exhibits. The day time visitors at the show ar elargely women. PerhapStheir interest lies as much in the necessary exhibits of table arrangement and vase and hanging pot displays as in the major exhibits. Simplicity the. Watchword Simplicity was evidently the watchword of the judges in placing the prizes for flower arrangement.

They passed over the more gorgeous dinner tables to lay blue ribbon beplde the blue and white bowl of larkspur and tulips and soft-toned roses, a blue and white pattern that matched the figured plates. It was so simple and natural a decoration that It looked set hough the hostess might have stepped into her garden and selected the blooms alter hte table was laid. Mrs Walter Austin of Court st, Dedham arranged this first-prize table. The second-prize table had more color, red and yellow rose9 and bright yellow candles. It was arranged by Mrs John D.

Adams of 33 Clinton road, Brookline. But the third prize again was severest simplicity, a single bowl of white lilies and tall white candlesticks. It was arranged by Mrs Samuel Cabot of 241 Perkins st, Jamaica Plain. Essentially the same effect In white as Mrs Cabots was achieved in white sweet peas by Mrs Parkman D. Howe of Needham.

The judges evidently considered the flowers In relation to the size of the dinner table. Many beautiful center-' pieces hung out over. the plates, and would even brush against the diners. Pleasant For Crown Princes Fiancee Marshals yesterday and last night. Indicating that the Government may have plans concerning Capone which It has not made public.

An investigation was reported under way to learn how 'sick Capone was when the sub-pana was served, and whether, as he then stated, he was unable to appear at the date fixed. If It could be shown that Capone was not sick at the time, an assistant Federal attorney pointed out, Capone would be liable to imprisonment for contempt. It was not likely that Capone would be questioned by police, who have expressed a desire to hear what he might have to say about the Valentine Day gang massacre. The police said the Federal authorities would do whatever questioning there was to be done. The Tribune today quoted a representative of Capone as saying Capone realized a lot of people wanted to get him, as he expressed it, for the four or five hundred murders Im supposed to have had a hand in and didnt.

At the office of O. Johnson, district attorney, it was stated that Capone would not be denied any of his rights as a citizen, but that He will be handled like the hoodlum he is." The spokesman for Capone had explained to the district attorney that Capone intended to demand his rights to protection because he is a United States citizen and because he Is a World War veteran. The announced purpose of Capones appearance is in connection with the Chicago Heights liquor racketeering, revealed in a Federal raid early in January. Capone's name, however, has been used in connection with most liquor and gang crimes of recent years. They use his name because they know he cant do anything abqut It, his spokesman was quoted by the Tribune as saying.

As a matter of fact, this man said.

D. Hatfield is the gardener responsible for the Hunnewell display. The desert garden which Mrs Sherman Hoyt maintains from day to day with fresh specimens of the tiny desert flowers received by airplane from California, was so mobbed this morning that only a tall person could hope to see It without waiting. Two hundral students of the Verper George School'of Art came over to the show, some of them with a notion of painting it. But they went away after buffeting- abut, to come the first thing in the morning tomorrow, which is a good tip for visitors who are more interested in seeing than feeling a flower sho-yy.

A blind man would get something out of this flower show. Now well start in here. my dear, my dear, did you ever see anything like it? Thats the way we saw orchids growing in Panama on trees bushels of them, little yellow ones. Well, you cant tell I dont care what they are lets just look and jsn-joy. See the flowers growing right out of the wall.

Dont work us to death, Kate; yon know Im an old lad. Do yon know which place we checked our coats? There, now Id like a picture of this In colors. Dont get separated, boys and girls.

Mr and Mrs Albert C. Burrage, or, at the opposite end, into the yellow mist of Thomas Rolands acacias. The acacias themselves are a variety show 40 kinds. Some with flowers like goldenrod, some like willow catkins, others like golden drops. And the acacia bushes are shaped as variously as asparagus sprays and palm trees, and some are Christmas trees aflame with tiny ivory candies at every twig-tip.

FIELDS CORNER STORE ROBBED Mystery Ladder Man and Pals Frightened Away After a brief rest, the mystery man With the 16-foot ladder and pals appeared at Fields Corner, Dorchester, early this morning and visited the variety and tobacco shop conducted by William Balkin, known as Pops, at 203 Adams st. This shop ts a few doors from Police Station 11. Entrance was gained through the skylight. Five watches, two wrist watches and chains, four silver cigarette cases, three boxes of dice and $90 in cash were taken. Plans to take more goods had been made, but apparently the burglars, thought to be youthful, were frightened away by the falling of the ladder.

Sam Cohen, employe of Balkin. arrived at the shop at 6 oclock, and found evidences of the visit. He called Balkin, who rushed down from his home on Wilder st, and a hurried inventory revealed the loss. The thieves left by the rear- door. The night cook at the Famous Lunch, a few doors south of Balklns, was awakened from his' sleep at 3:15 this morning by someone walking on the roof.

He picked up the receiver to call tne police, falling to get a response from the telephone operator, he hung up, and, resumed slumbers. SPECTACULAR RRUSH FIRE IN MEDFORD 11 1 Six-Acre Blaze Menaces Residences MEDFORD, March 20 A spectacular brush and grass Afire swept over a half-dozen acres of land and threatened residence off Lawrence and Summit roads, shortly before noon today. The firemen worked for an hour to prevent teh spread of the blaze on the westerly side of Pasture Hill, In the Lawrence estate. The fire reached several treees on the side of the hill, one of them blazing like a huge torch. Fire men responded- to a still alarm at 11:45 and a box alarm from box 183 at 12:03.

Water from lines attached to hydrants on Lawrence road were pourned on the fire, which was spreading rapidly toward the residences of John F. Reagan Jr and George H. James on Summit road, A boys clubhouse, near the Reagan estate, at the edge of the brush, was saved, The burning grass and brush threw thick clouds of smoke which filled the neighborhood near the Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Prefer Italian Effects But when It came to gardens, the judges preferred Italian effects to the simpler dooryards of old Salem and Cape Cod.

First prize and second went to Italian gardens. The Noan-nett Garden Club carried off the coveted distinction of the blue ribbon 1 nthls class. Theirs was a practical garden, with heads of lettuce and strawberrle plants spaced amongst the flowers. And it had a high wall. I do love a garden with a wall, ex claimed a woman looking at It.

Vines were effectively used. Pots of flowers stood on a shelf outside a casement window. A thatch-roofed bird house was big and useful looking. It was reached by a ladder. A big brush broom stood by a table In a corner.

On the table waa a tall bottle of chlanti and a half loaf of hard bread. Dinner, perhaps, for the gardener. Italian gardeners, are evidently not prohibitionists. Many commented on the tall bottle of chlanti. It was a warm day.

The second prize garden was the planting in the corner of the dooryard of an Italian It looked rather more Spanish or Moorish than Italian. It was an arid scene, with a few sparse red-flowering vines upon the stucco wall. There was no lettuce in this garden and no bottle. Milton Club Wins Third The little weathered cottage behind the turnstile gate, which the Milton Garden Club had framed in larkspur and snapdragon and a green velvet lawn, took third prize. There are prizes galore, of course, with the great number of classes always provided at flower shows.

Among the most admired prize exhibits this morning was the azalia display of Mrs Robert W. Morse of Milton. This took a blue ribbon. So also did the Walter Hunnewell estate exhibit of grouped rhododendrons and hardy aza- Parry Sound Passengers on the sleeping cars of No. 3, bound wst for returned to Parry Sound this afternoon and gave more definite word of the disaster.

Passengers tell graphic stories of heroic attempts to escape cremation. the direction of As Dist Atty Daniel Gillen. Attorney Brennan, In consequence of this, contends the hearing was not a secret one, as provided by law, but was an open trial, a stranger being present, as he contends, because Griffin waa not ordered to be there by the court. Mr Brennan asserted that there was no legal right for such alleged violation of the secrecy of the Grand Jury and therefore the indictment should be quashed.

Cites Caeeof Policeman tn Boom It was declared by attorney Brennan that the only persons allowed In the Grand Jury rooms are the members of the jury, representatives of the district attorneys officer a stenographer and an Interpreter, if occasion He cited the old case of the Commonwealth against Harris, wherein the full bench of the Supreme Court recited that the presence of a police officer in the Grand Jury room during the taking of testimony was a violation of the rights of the person under investigation; that it took away the element of secrecy. It was ruled that the Indictment be quashed In that case, he said. A new indictment can be obtained, however, without the presence of the so-called stranger. Judge Williams will make a written memorandum of the case at bar and, regard lea sof which way he declses, the cae will go to the full bench of the Supreme Court, to have determined whether a representative of the sheriff, in whose custody a State Prison convict is vested for the time, has the right to be preseent in the Grand Jury room, 'even though it may be for the purpose of safeguarding the prisoner, when the prisoner is declared a desperate character.

SEES NO CAUSE FOR ZONING LAW CHANGE Appeal Board Again Hears Harvard Representatives Members of the Cambridge Board of Appeal, at a meeting yesterday afternoon in City Hall, could not see any reason for Harvard University to seek change In the -zoning 'law on Holyoke st. so that the new gymnasium could bo built IS feet higher than the law This waa the second time that representatives from Harvard have been before the Board of Appeal for a change to zone, and again the board took the matter under advisement, offering no decision.

jr Chairman Clarence of the board told the four Harvard representatives present that no sound reason had been offered for the change of It was claimed that the zone permits only buildings 80 feet high in that area, and the architectural- beauty of the new gymnasium would require a point 18 feet higher, or 98 feet in height. They said that the Interior construction of the new gymnas.um and the uses to be made or tne building economically require the 18-foot added height. Members of the board asked the reason the building did not go deeper into the ground, and therefore avoid any demand for a change of zone. It was answered that the gymnasium plans already go six feet below the water level, and it would cost too much money to go deeper. The board heard complaints from several companies that too much red tape Is gone through before they may expand their places of business.

One company wants to erect a three-story building and finds that it needs a change of zoning to do it. Officials of 'the company said that they would leave the city if they cannot expand their holdings without so much petitioning for changes in zones. They are in a residential area, and were there before the passage of zoning laws. board suggested that the -com panies petition the City Council for a change jn the zone.
