TILE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 1921. M1 3 MAY BE CALLED ON TO FORM A NEW MINISTRY Crisis Forecast in Senate Thursday-Premier's Position Viewed as Safe in Any Event. Paris, March 11 (By the Associated Press)-Premier Poincare will be called upon to form another cabinet should a ministerial crisic occur as an outcome of the Senate's action on Thursday, according to opinion expressed in Parliamentary circles this afternoon. It was predicted that the Premier would be retained as head of the Government whether the cricis came about through an adverse vote or the resignation of the Cabinet because of delay in action on the pending fiscal measures.

A WARDS $6,139.968 FOR LAND TAKEN IN CONEY STREET PLAN Justice Benedict Acts on Claims of Fixed Value at $4,800,000. Supreme Court Justice Russell Benedict today announced the awards he has fixed for the taking of private land and the abrogation of leaseholds for the and opening of some 15 Island extensions streets in accordance with the ambitious gelmann.

plan of Boro President The awards total $6,139,968.40. The city acquired some 576,921 square feet. About 288 lots were condemned. Beach front awards range from $20 to $12 per square foot. Surf ave.

awards range from $22 all the way down to $6 per square foot. Interior awards are as low as $3 per square foot. The average of all is $8.40 per square foot, or about $16,800 per lot. For the land the city is charged for buildings and other improvements, leaseholders were awarded 875.52. The proceeding was begun on Aug.

6 last. The taking of evidence for the claimants and the city began Nov. 5 and continued every day until the end of December, more than 2,100 pages of testimony being taken and some 400 exhibits considered. Justice Benedict personally viewed all the properties, both before and after the buildings were razed or cut off or altered to make way for 15 streets to the Boardwalk. Claims Totaled $10,400,000.

Property, owners' $10,400,000. claims City aggre. experts said the properties were worth only $4,800,000. Commenting on this discrepancy, Justice Benedict said: "The magnitude of the discrepancy indicates the degree in which the testimony of real estate experts is of actual value to the court in reaching a conclusion on questions of value. It also illustrates the advantage of the law that while the court ought to consider the evidence of experts, it is not bound by such evidence, but may act on such testimony as the value of land in the vicinity established by sales, as well as on its own view of the property and its own judgment and experience in order to reach a just conclusion as to the From carefully sifting all the evidence Justice Benedict discovered there were well defined differences in the values of different portions of the same me damage parcel.

The schedule of awards made by Justice Benedict show the infinite pains he took to determine this -breaking condemnation proceeding. In the light of much experience it is no exaggeration to say that under the old system of street opening commissions this proceeding would not be finished until 1935. All the equipment of bathhouses, amusement devices and buildings on the properties were considered in de. tail and valued separately by Justice Benedict, so that whatever appeals the property owners wish to take will be easy and the Appellate Division, if it chooses can alter some of the findings without necessitating retrials of the entire proceeding.

Munich, Bavaria, March 11--(By the Associated Press) -Dr. Von Kahr, the former Bavarian Dictator, testifying the November Putsch trial, sought to clear himself of all connection with the Hitler revolt, saying it was absolutely out of the question that he or Gen.

Von Lossow. the Reichswehr commander in Bavaria, had reached any under. standing with Hitler for overthrow. ing the government. "We considered Hitler.

Hitler's followers and Hitler's plans as utterly impossible," he declared. He looked upon the incident in the beer the night Hitler appeared with a revolver and several hundred followers as a comedy, over which he laughed secretly at the time. It was not taken seriously by him Von Lossow, although for the moment they pretended surrender. Dr. Von Kahr, composed and speaking in a clear low voice, read his testimony from a manuscript.

The attorneys for the defense objected to this, but Cere overruled. Like Gen. Von Lossow, the Ba. varian Reichswehr commander, who testified yesterday, the former Dictator gave his testimony without taking the oath. The presiding judge explained this procedure as due to certain indications that Dr.

Von Kahr had participated more or less in some of the preliminary meetings which led up to the attempted rising.

0. Riddle Tells Academy of Science Mem-bers That It Is Possible to Change Sex. If you want a nice fat turkey gobbier for Christmas dinner, just buy a turkey hen. This sounds like a catch, but it may be within the realm of possibility, according to Dr. Oscar Riddle of the Station for Experimental Evolution, Carnegie Institute, Cold Spring Harbor, who declares that there is a possibility of changing hens into roosters.

It is not only possible but it has been accomplished, he told a number of persons attending a lecture of the New York Academy of Sciences in the American Museum of Natural History, last night. Dr. Riddle said he had watched a a a a a a a hen being transformed into a rooster. While at one time she laid eggs, later she became the father of a family. He has also seen, he stated.

a female ring dove changed into a male, and a. colleague of his has seen the method work in the opposite direction when a male salamander became a female. Tuberculosis did the work, he told the members of the Academy. It destroyed certain organs in the hen and male organs took their place. It is necessary that tuberculosis or something of similar nature work on the body and increase the activity of the bodily processes, he claims.

But in time a substitute for tuberculosis will be found which will cause the same activity in the body tissues without Its harmful effect. he predicts. Some day it will be possible to transform a man into a woman or a on into a man, he believes. Sex, he says, is, contrary the general helief, an inherited characteristic. In 'he same way, a person's height or his intellectual qualities are inher'ted chiefly from one of his parents.

Since he inherits the sex from one of his parents, it will be possible to give him also other of the characteristics of one of his parents, the characteristics of the parent he most dmires, Dr. Riddle maintains. 200-MIT DOG TEAM RACE IS ON The Pas, March 11-Ten teams composed of the pick of the dog would start on the 200-mile non-stop The Pas dog derby at 10 o'clock today with $2.500 in cash prizes and the Walter Goyne-Grant Rice trophy at stake.

J. Kenner, president of the Better Business Bureau of New York City, who addressed a meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Brooklyn at the St.

George Hotel today. "Countless thousands of people unschooled in the lore of investing have been easy prey to the venders of worthless or misrepresented securities who hold themselves out as reputable brokers or investment bankers and trade upon the confidence which the public has in financial New York," said Mr. Kenner. "By this proceeding under the Martin Law Attorney General of New York State has been able not only to stop many nefarious schemes but also has been able to turn the spotlight of publicity upon methods plied in the art of vending questionable securities to an extent which has enabled the reading public to keep abreast of the clever artifices used to ensnare unwary possessors of savings accounts or legitimate securities. "Great service to the public has been rendered," continued Mr.

Kenner, "by the newspapers of New York City which have devoted their news columns to facts which enlighten their readers and their editorial columns to constructive comment and criticism of the campaign against the depredations of conscienceless operators." Mr Kenner described a number of different systems which have been recently in vogue for getting the unwary investor's money and urged that suspicions be reported to the Better Business Bureau for investigation and that they be given no circulation until proved by facts. "Fair-dealing houses vastly outnumber illegitimate sellers of securities." Mr. Kenner continued, "and a high level of confidence in legitimate business can be maintained only by the careful investigation of specific abuses and removed by the roots of causes of suspicion. The business men of Brooklyn and Manhattan have set their hands to this task. Although it is difficult and even disagreeable, they are determined to carry it to a still more successful stage."

MELISH DENOUNCES NUDE CHORUS GIRLS IN "MARTYR" ROLES (Special to The Eagle.) Philadelphia, March 11-Commercialism of the American stage was bitterly denounced yesterday as a menace to modesty and womanhood by the Rev. J.

Howard Melish, rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn, in a sermon the noon-day Lenten services at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. "The stage will be destroyed as the saloon was destroyed if the present degradation of womanhood is not stopped," he said. "Picturization of almost nude chorus girls as Christian martyrs in a film is a crying shame. It is up to the women to draw the line.

Mothers should not permit members of their families to attend musical comedies. Most of them are indecent and not worthy of the name of entertainment." DOUG AND MARY MAY JOIN LASKY GROUP Although rumors have been flying thick and fast on the Rialto to the effect that Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford are soon to sever their contractual United Artists and cast with relations, Famous Players-Lasky, insistent 'denials have been made both by Morris Gest, who is presenting Doug's next picture, and officials of the Lasky Corporation. However, since the Fairbanks-Pickford producing organizations have more than once declared their dissatisfaction 'with the manner in which United Artists have been distributing their pictures, it is not at all improbable that the Lasky Company, with their worldwide distribution facilities, will so0i. add Doug and Mary to their already large galaxy of film stars. Miss Pickford has been considering showing her next production, "Dorothy Vernon -of Haddon Hall," at the Criterion Theater, Manhattan, to follow the run of "The Covered Wagon," but this has not been entirely con firmed.

As the Criterion is one of the many theaters controlled by Famous Players-Lasky, Miss Pickford's consideration of this house would seem to indicate some foundation for the Lasky Pickford Fairbanks rumors.
