JIMMY WALKER TAKES VACATION AS QUIZ OPENS Tammany Chieftains Worry Over Results of Probe on Crain’s Office. By United. Press NITW YORK, March 10—While Mayor James J. Walker was speeding westward for a vacation at Palm Springs, Cal., and Thomas C. I*. Crain, district attorney, was reaffirming his intention to fight the investigation of his office, veteran Tammany leaders frankly were worried today about what the investigation might bring forth. It was reported in political circles That Tammany believed the district attorney’s removal from office practically was certain if he remains in office and tries to defend himself. The investigation lost no time in getting under way. Judge Samuel Seabury accepted Governor Roosevelt's commission as investigator Monday, the formal charges of laxity in office were served on district Attorney Crain by Richard S. Childs, president of the City Club, and it was believed that actual work of the inquiry would be started by Wednesday. Refuses to Answer Queries Mayor Walker left secretly Monday afternoon on a special Pullman .attached to a Baltimore tz Ohio train for a vacation of from four to six weeks. He was recognized by newspapermen at Jersey City, but refused to comment on the Seabury investigation, saying he was “very tired.” Meanwhile, Magistrate H. Stanley Renaud, testifying before the Seabury inquiry into the magistrates’ courts, defended his sentencing of many girls—lncluding "Vivian Gordon—to Bedford reformatory on vice charges on the grounds that it was a “fine school.” “If they took off the ‘reformatory’ name, it would be full of girls coming there on their own volition. It is a wonderful school,” he said. Took Policeman’s Word Always He admitted he had sentenced a grandmother, Mrs. Mary E. Goble, on the uncorroborated testimony of a vice squad policeman, despite the appeals of half a dozen character witnesses, including a Catholic priest and a nun. The magistrate maintained that if the policeman happened to perjure himself, it was not the court’s responsibility. As Magistrate Jean Norris before him had done, Renaud pleaded that he had taken for truth policemen’s testimony. Evidence showed that he had let rice squad men’s stories be the determining factor against numerous character witnesses. The investigation of the murder o l Vivian Gordon proceeded without announced results. Police questioned drivers of two taxicabs who pursued an automobile containing a screaming woman on the night Miss Gordon was killed.

SCIENCE CALLED TO FIND PARENT Man Claims to Be Father of Estranged Wife’s Child. By United. Prcsc CHICAGO, March 10.—Mendels laws of inheritance, introduced to help settle a $1,000,000 estate by establishing whether blue-eyed parents can have brown-eyed children, entered today into anew legal controversy over the disputed parentage of a 4-year-old child. In the new case, it was planned to use the Mendelian law to aid in disposition of the claims of a browneyed man and his estranged blueeyed wife. Edward Entringer, a fanner of Dell Rapids, S. D., asked custody of the child on the grounds that she is his daughter. Mrs. Frieda Entringer, with whom the child lives- here, opposed this action, claiming that Maxine was bom to her before she married Entringer in 1928. Victor Frohlich, counsel for Mrs. Entringer, said he would introduce both Mendelian and blood tests to prove Maxine the daughter of his client. DR.

0. S. AND JAPAN WILL NOT SIGN NAVALACCORD Text of Agreement to Be Published Wednesday Despite Delay Request. By United Brest PARIS, March 10.—The text of the naval accord limiting French and Italian warship construction will be published Wednesday, the Qual D’Or say announced today, but it was understood that the agreement would not be approved by the United States or Japan. The text will be published as a bipower agreement, “within the scope of the London naval treaty,” which limited the London naval armaments of Britain, the United Stages and Japan. The accord, negotited under leadership of Britain, was reached with the object of making France and Italy signatories to the limitations clauses of the London treaty. Difficulties arose, however, in adjusting the tonnage figures and the transfer clauses of the two pacts. The difficulties centered on the following points: Disinclination of Washington and Tokio to approve building immediately of two French and two Italian cruisers of 23,333 tons —the battle cruiser class—while the j United States, Japan and Brit- | ain observe the London treaty ! battleship holiday until 1936. Opposition of Japan and the j United States to limitation of all : future warships to a maximum of 23,500 tons. Questions raised by the British dominions as to the wisdom of permitting France a total of 81,900 tons of submarines rather than the total of 52,700 tons fixed by the London treaty as a maximum for Britain, the United Permission for France or Italy to transfer 15,000 tons from subStates and Japan, marines to auxiliary ships, whereas the London treaty prohibits such transfers. The Japanese government Monday asked for a delay in publication of the text, to permit further study, but the foreign office announced that the scheduled release on Wednesday vyould be carried out.
