SMITH REFUTES CLAIM CATHOLIC AIDSJAVORED Charges of Religious Prejudice Are Proved False by Survey of Records. BY RAY TUCKER WASHINGTON, April 10.—In a desperate effort to check A1 Smith’s drive toward the Democratic presidential nomination, his political enemies have resorted to charges that he has discriminated against Protestants in his appointment of men and women to office in New York. With material furnished by Jay W. Forrest of Albany, a long-time enemy of the New York Governor and organizer of a body known as the Sons and Daughters of Washington, newspapers in the South and West have published articles to the effect that A1 Smith’s judicial appointments were Catholics. It is> alleged that he named men of own faith to most judicial posts falling vacant during his four terms. Though the Smith spokesmen deplom introduction of the religious issue into the political situation, this and whispering campaign has reached such proportions that notice had to be taken of it. And a summary of the Governor’s appointments has been distributed as an answer to Forrest's propaganada. This reveals that of thirty-two judicial appointments made by Governor Smith fifteen have been Catholics, fourteen have been Protestants and three have been Jews. Most of the men named by Smith, it is said, have subsequently been elected by the people of New York. Smith's indifference to the religious factor in politics and public

Birger to Hang on Friday

Charles Birger, notorious southern Illinois gang leader, lost his last chance to escape hanging the other day when the Supreme Court denied a hearing on his conviction of murder and sentence to death. He is to be hanged Friday, April 13, for the murder of Mayor Joe Adams of West City, 111., unless Governor Len Small intervenes. Here Birger is shown with his two children, Minnie (.left) and Charline.

life is best reflected in his selection of his cabinet, according to his friends. Upon adoption of his program for constitutional reorganization of 165 State departments into eighteen, Smith had the naming of thirteen department heads. He named nine Protestants, three Catholics and one Jew. In appointment of men and women to important department posts and commissions Smith has clearly demonstrated his freedom from any religious discrimination, his associates say. Os sixty appointments of this kind forty-three have been Protestants, twelve Catholics and five Jews.

POLICEMAN CHARGED WITH INTOXICATION Worley Files Complaint Against Hugh Baird. Charges of intoxicatiop, insubordination and conduct unbecoming an officer were filed against Patrolman Hugh M. Baird, 3301’ k E. Washington St., at the board of public safety meeting by Police Chife Claude M. Worley. Worley charged that Baird, appointed Jan. 4, failed to appear for roll call Saturday night and investigation by Lieut. Ralph Dean revealed him in bed at home intoxicated. Worley said that similar charges will be placed against any officer found partaking of liquor. The action of the board of safety last week in discharging two officers after an alleged drinking bout reveals their attitude on such matters, Worley said.

SCIENCE SHOWS EARLY ANIMALS KILLEDBY DUST Advance Theory That Lack of Sun Caused Deaths of Dinosaurs. Bu Science, Service, CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va„ April 10.—Vast clouds of dust thrown up by volcanoes during certain disturbed eras of the earth’s existence cut out the ultra-violet rays in sunlight and so deprived dinosaurs and other grotesque monsters of the past of one of their necessary sources of vitality. This is one of the newest theories to explain how dinosaurs became extinct, proposed by Dr. Harry T. Marshall, pathologist of the University of Virginia, as reported to the scientific journal, the American Naturalist. Lack of ultra-violet light and the antirachitic vitamin D bring about a disturbance of the mineral chemistry of the body that results in malformed bones. While migrations, new enemies and the cold climatic changes brought about by glaciers of the ice age may have caused the disappearance of many animals that became distinct during the periods known to geologists as the Phiocene and the Pleistocene, the lack of ultra-violet light is felt by Dr. Marshall to be the main cause. It was duirng this period that the greatest evolutionary changes in the teeth and certain bones, notably the feet, occurred. This argument favors the pathologist's hypothesis since there is a known relationship between animal growth, calcium balance and plant vitamins dependant on ultra-violet radiation. The great development of mammals. a comparatively inconspicuous group of animals up to this period.

“ ‘I wonder if one can really tell the difference, when blindfolded,’ was my first thought when invited to make this test. “After smoking the four brands, as they were handed to me one after another, I discovered there was one that was noticeably smoother than the others and richer in taste. “This proved to be an OLD GOLD. I hope I shall be able to buy them in Paris . . . they are surprisingly free from any trace of throat irritation and have a delightful aroma which to me is very important.’’

suggests, Dr. Marshall declared, that fluctuations in sunlight, with volcanic dust interruptions influenced mammalian evolution by favoring virile species with the more plastic calcium mechanisms and this condition helped mold the new foot and tooth structures of the period. Favored by centuries of warmth and sunshine the great sluggish reptiles were faced with the glacial cold of the ice age and ultra-violet deficiency at the same time. Rickets, now universally known as a malady of babies, may also have been responsible for t he death of the dinosaurs. Research to devise methods for the detection of fossilized bones that show evidence of rickets, will undoubtedly throw more light on the theory, the Virginia pathologist declared.
