HEDDON EXPELLED BY BILLIARD BODY; TO QUESTION BROWN Both Players Charged With Bringing Reproach on the Organization. A sequel to the recent unpleasantness connected with the national amateur billiard championship at the Crescent Athletic Club came today when the National Association pelled Charles Heddon of Dowagic, and notified Morris D.

Brown of this boro to appear before the executive committee to answer charges of; "bringing reproach on the organization." Both are former titleholders. Hed-. don withdrew from the recent tournament after his first game because of alleged "sharking" tactics on the part of Edward W. Gardner. Brown was not invited to participate in the event and expressed his opinions regarding his in various interviews.

In to The Eagle, published treatenent on Thursday, Heddon announced his permanent retirement from billiards. The resolution expelling Heddon says that the attack on Gardner, in the opinion of the committee, was "highly unbecoming, unsportsmanlike and unwarranted, and contained a reflection upon the association, its ideals and standards. Hence the expuision." Brown is requested to appear before the executive commitee at its meeting in March. "In the event of failure to appear," says the resolution, "the executive commitee shall take such action as it deems proper." Questioned as to what attitude he would assume, Mr. Brown authorized the following statement: "I have received no official communication from the National Association of Amateur Billiard Players notifying me any action their part.

I am told by The Eagle that the executive committee of that association is to invite me to appear before it at the March meeting to explain certain comments derogatory to the association. which have appeared in the newspapers. "My reply to this is that I am not responsible for news comments with this exception: When The Eagle received the final official list of entries to the national Class A championship and my name was not among those entered. I was called on the phone by one of their representatives with the question as to the reason for my ure to enter. To which 1 replied that had not been invited to compete and certainly would not enter without an invitation.

that is the reason on wheh they base their call for me to appear before the executive committee, it seems to me to be a. very small one, because the blame for my non -appearance in the Class A tournament rests entirely upon the association and not upon me." HARDING TACKLES SHIPPING SITUATION Washington, Feb. 11-President Harding, having transmitted to the Senate the Arms Conference Treaties, now plans to turn his attention toward quick action on relief legislation for the Mercantile Marine, Chairman Lasker of the Shipping Board said at the White House today after a conference with the President. Mr. Lasker recently submitted to the Executive a report covering an extensive study of the shipping situation, and since has in confer(-nce frequently with the President.

The Executive is extremely interested in the marine situation, Mr. Lasker said, and expects to submit to Congress his recommendations on the situation within two weeks to a joint session. Mr. Lasker said today on leaving the White House that his report includes one large integral plan, and he expects shortly to make public such parts of the plan as the President had approved. The Woman Voter The introduction of the question of prohibition into the business session of the Women's Democratic Club yesterday at the Hotel Pennsylvania brought out wholesale denuncation of the Volstead Act and a demand for the return of light wines and beer.

Miss Elisabeth Marbury of the Democratic National Committee led the discussion against the present law. The women agreed to arouse public sentiment for a modification of the Volstead Act, but all were emphatic against the b- lishment of the saloon. The Lady Jefferson Democratic Club of the 15th A.

WIl Not Raise Prices. The proprietors of all beauty parlors and barbershops queried by an Eagle reporter regarding the new Department of Health order requiring them to obtain a license and to observe certain sanitation regulations agreed that the order was promulgated as defense against other, smaller and less circumspect establishments. They themselves, they said, have ebserved these regulations for years, so the order means absolutely nothing in their professional lives. They will apply for the permits, but they anticipate no difficulty in obtaining them. "As for prices," said Madame Elizabeth, "I see no reason for raising them.

The new municipal policy entails no change so far as my shop is concerned. It is my opinion that the Department of Health means to protect the people against smaller places, where less care is taken in the sanitation than in the better shops. There are places, of course, that do not protect their patrons against the spread of contagious diseases, but the better ones are very, very careful." Mrs. B. F.

Matthews, proprietor of a downtown beauty parlor, was of the same mind. "The high grade establishments comply with most of these regulations at present," she said. "For ore example, it is more than three years since I have seen a powder puff in a beauty parlor. Bits of cotton are used in powdering the faces of customers and thrown away at once. "I do not think manicuring instruments should be sterilized i after each using unless a patient has been cut.

They are washed but not sterilized. In regard to the stick astringent, which is the styptic used in checking bleeding, a powder may be substituted it is apt to leave a stain on the skin. "Soap in cakes is no longer used. Liquid soap has superseded it, in practically every instance. Of course.

customers would never patronize a place which did not give them individual towels. However, I know that many of the cheap establishments are not as careful as they should be and the Board of Health is wise to supervise such places." The barbers also referred to a mean sector of the profession which is not so ennitary as it could be. "We've done these things ever since we went into business." it was said at a Fulton st. shop. "The order was probably aimed at the cheaper places, where conditions often are not SO good." "There will be no change in prices, nor will we have to change our "We have always sterilized our instrumethods." said a Myrtle a ave.

barber. ments and used shaving cream for our patrons. The regulation is probably the result of places' failure to maintain sanitary shops." It was impossible to find one of the beauty parlors or barber shops of the reprehensible type referred to in each of the interviews. Secrets of the Movies Q.

AUTOPSY CONFIRMS SEARLES' DEATH CLUE TO NATURAL CAUSES Letter Intimating Irregularities Found to Be Without Foundation in Fact. (Special to The Eagle.) Salem, Feb. 11--That there was no foundation for the gossip which followed the death of Edward F.

Searles, the millionaire recluse of Methuen, is definitely established by the announcement of the findings of the autopsy performed by Dr. B. McGrath of Boston. This shows that the death of Searles was due to natural causes. The chemical analysis of the organs revealed no trace of poison.

That it would be found Searles died a natural death was hinted in The Eagle. The determination of District Attorney G. Howard Donnell to have an autopsy performed was a precautionary measure to still gossip and set at rest the suspicions raised in an anonymous letter received by the District Attorney and purporting to have been written by an old friend of Searles. Searles died 'at his Methuen estate in August, 1920. He was under the care of several competent physicians and he was a very old man, suffering from afflictions of old age.

Pronably there would have been no rumors following his death had he not left his estate, the value of which has been variously estimated as from 000 to $40,000.000 to Arthur Walker, his. confidential man, thereby disappointing the expectations of others. When Searles died at his splendid estate, one of the show places of the country, the physician's certincate gave the cause of death a's heart disease. Walker, the chief beneficiary under the will, was living very modestly on Pierrepont Brooklyn, and taking his meals at a Columbia Heights board. ing house when he fell heir to fortune.

An attempt was made to break the will, but the case was. settled before the court proceedings had advanced very; far. It wa's said that the contestants received a generous share of the estate. ROBBERS VISIT TWO BAY RIDGE HOMES Two robberies during the past week came to light today in spite of the efforts of the Port Hamilton police to suppress the reports on them. One occurred last Wednesday night at the home of Charles Klein, 329 75th who lost about $500 in jewelry, cash and clothing.

The other happened last Monday night in the home of Edward F. Leonard. 7222 11th where $300 in cash and jewelry were taken. Mrs. Klein on the night of the robbery had gone across the street to visit her daughter, Mrs.

J. Dahlstrom, and while sitting near a window was amazed to see her home light up from top to bottom. She hurriedly called her husband on the telephone. They found a window on the front porch open, and inside everything was in disorder. Clothing and silver plate valued at many hundreds of dollars were packed up, ready for carting away.

The robbery in the Leonard home occurred while Mr. and Mrs. Leonard were at the theater. Returning home about 11:30 they found a' window on their front porch open and the room ransacked. Mr.

Leonard reported the theft to the Fort Hamilton police. Detectives came around, looked wise, ordered the victim under no circumstances to let the newspapers know anything about it and then a departed.

'FLU' AND PNEUMONIA DEATHS TAKE DROP There were 1.196 new influenza cases reported at the office of Health Commissioner Copeland during the past 24 hours for the entire city, and 220 for Brooklyn. Yesterday's figures were 1,018 and 218.

There were 209 pneumonia cases reported, 70 in Brooklyn, compared with 314 pneumonia cases in the city and 92 in Brooklyn yesterday.

Following an alleged illegal liquor raid on his saloon April 11, last, in which he charged that the police not only drank up a case of liquor, bu' ate a whole ham, distributed around his cigars, and damaged his place considerably, Sebastian Janetta, 52, 0" 2051 Pitkin yesterday received from County Judge Mae Mahon an order for the return of the $5.000 worth of liquor confiscated during the raid. The order resulted from the stand taken by Charles E. Russell, Janetta's lawyer, who charged that a search warrant had not been issued until two days after the raid.

It also was illegal, he deciared, because when it was issued it did not meet the requirements of law by specifying the date on which a move might be made to redeem the property. That the warrant had been defective was conceded by the District Attorney's office. The damage done to Janetta's home and saloon by the police was described by his widowed doughter, Mrs. Marcaret Lopardo, who was present at the raid. She continued her testimony by saying: "These officers, before leaving the premises, disposed of a full case of whisky.

They were all more or less intoxicated. They compelled my father to drink whisky until they got him drunk. They compelled my mother to serve them with eatables. They ate up a whole ham and then they demanded that my mother and I TO upstairs and cook spaghetti for them and said they were having a regular picnic that day. "They opened the cigar case and took out.

boxes of cigars and every person that came in or stopped they offered free cigars. and said there was no charge for anything that day and everything was free. Janetta has lived at the Pitkin ave. address for 33 years, a and has been a citizen for 26 years.
