3 COOLIDGE SIGNS LAW BARRING GUNS FROM MAILS Measure Urged by Police of Country Will Become Effective in 90 Days. Eagle Bureau, 901 Colorado Building. By JOHN BILLINGS Jr. Washington, Feb. 10-After May this revolvers, pistols and other small frag, arms can no longer be purchased at retail through the United States mails.

Congress has passed a law outlawing these weapons and President Coolidge has signed it. After A air year fight the advon cates of this legislation have achieved success in declaring these articles non-mailable and fixing a heavy penalty for violation of the law. Within the last fortnight the opposition of certain small arms manufacturers was overcome to permit the measure to go through the Senate, after having been passed by the House more than a year ago. General shall prescribe." Meaning Is Cloudy. Law Effective in 90 Days.

Most of these manufacturers are located in Massachusetts, and Wil11am M. Butler, former Senator from that State, was an ardent opponent of the measure. His forced retirement from the Senate opened the way for its passage. The new law was signed by the President and Lecomes effective in 90 days. The Postoffice Department is now preparing a general order to carry out the purpose of the act.

This legislation was supported by law enforcement officers, who have repeatedly claimed that criminals were receiving arms from mail order houses. Senate hearings revealed a number of low -grade mall order publications which carried advertisements of arms at prices from $6.25 to $10.65. Penalty Is Heavy. The new law declares "pistols, revolvers and other firearms capable of being concealed on the person" 8.8 being "non-mailable." A violation may bring a $1,000 fine and two years in jail. Exceptions are made in favor of officers of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, State offcers, Federal employees and watchmen.

There is, however, one loophole in this new law which the Postoffice Department is still "construing." The law declares: "Such articles may be conveyed in the mails to the manufacturers of firearms or bonafide dealers therein in customary trade shipments, including such articles for repair or replacement of parts, from one to the other, under such regulations as the Postmaster The Postoffice Department doesn't know what that means exactly, though it "guesses" it is intended to allow the postal transmission of guns for repair, or the shipment of firearms from manufacturer to retailer. To bar shipments by express or other means there are now pending several measures. If these pass it would be a violation of law to carry a gun from one State to another. McCO0EY'S EFFORTS TO PUT JOHNSTON ON BENCH DOOMED Governor Firm in Resolve to Appoint Scudder to Post of Late Justice Jaycox. (By Eagle Staff Correspondent.) Albany, Feb.

10-Unless Democratic County Leader John H. McCooey can bring some extraordinary power to bear on Governor Smith his candidate to succeed the late Supreme Court Justice Jaycox, John B. Johnston, is apparently doomed to defeat. The Governor today has not switched from his resolve to appoint a man from Nassau County, former Supreme Court Justice Townsend Scudder, a high official of the Matary of State Robert Moses and John sonic order ea and a Democrat. SecreJ.

Curtin, personal counsel to the Governor, agree that the vacancy should be filled from Nassau. Mr. Curtin, however, denies that he has any official part in the selection. McCooey's flying visit to the Capitol with Mr. Johnston places him in an awkward position should Johnston be dented the appointment.

He has made his application to the Governor in person and very much in the open. If Johnston is turned down it will appear as if the say of John McCooey has not so very much weight with Governor Smith, after all. Secretary of State Moses is believed to have advised the Governor that Kings County has 16 of the Supreme Court Justices In the Second District, more than enough for the McCooey organization. Nassau, although It does not contain many Democratic votes, is unrepresented on the higher bench. CHILDREN'S MUSEUM TO GIVE LINCOLN FILM The Children's Museum will present in auditorium on Feb.

Roebling Geyser of 107 E. 35th Manhattan, who is being sued for $51,400 by Miss Bertha Schiermer 1469 Brooklyn, denied on the witness stand before Justice Faber in Supreme Court today that he was guilty of negligence or that his treatments were responsible for the marred and scarred condition of the young woman's face. Miss Schiermer went to him In 1921, he said, with a scraggly growth of black hair covering the whole "beard area." "I told her she must not expect to have skin like a baby's, even afler Dr. Geyser testified. 1 "She had little eruptions, and I told her that condition could be cleared up at the time she was being treated for the removal of the hair.

I also told her it would take years, perhaps, to remove the growth. "She had about 20 spots or areas that needed treatment, and I told her my fee would be $1 for each spot for treatments of 10 minutes each. I told her the little sores would be cured. She had had electric needle depilatory treatment prior to coming to my office." Dr. Geyser said he gave Miss Schiermer the first treatment himself and that afterward some treatments were given under his supervision by Miss Matilda Gugger, who has since then become Mrs.

Geyser. He admitted electric needle treatment caused scars and pits. Mrs. Geyser testified she treated Miss Schiermer with the X-ray machine, giving 10-minute applications and sometimes using lead shields to protect the skin. Ship 3 Months on Way From England to Boston Boston, Feb.

The others, successively younger by one year each, distributed the rum under Anthony's direction.

(Special by Eagle Staff Correspondent) Albany, Feb. 10-Word has reached several Republican leaders that because of ill health Republican State Chairman George K. Morris, now on sick leave in Florida, will soon resign his political office.

It 1s said that Chairman Morris has been hanging on to the position because of the difficulty involved in the selection of a new man, yet it is said he is anxious to drop the reins of party leadership in the State.

Dr. Alfred A. Gilman, Suffragan Bishop of Hankow, China. Defending the action of the foreign missionaries, he agreed that "the thing to do is run away' In face of the present outbreaks.

This statement was made before a meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary to the National Council of the Diocese of Long Island, held today in St.

Ann's parish.
