"It would be difficult without study to suggest offhand what might be the simplest and best method of controlling the conduct of lawyers and keeping It more or less constantly under supervision," the statement continued.

"Whatever method. It should be readily available tp the public. That, to my mind, would be the most effective preventative of a recurrence of such a situation as was exposed by The Eagle. Quick and certain punishment for the wrongdoing lawyer would be a powerful Instrument for keeping the legal profession clean. "It might be a good Idea to make It a duty of the District Attorney to receive complaints against lawyers and lay the facts on short notice to the attorney before Special Term of the Supreme Court, which would have the power to make directions and issue orders whereby attorneys wouid be compelled to immediately right the wrongs that have been done, and suffer punishment commensurate Continued on Page 3.

Provineetown, July 21 VP) Miss Dorothy Loeb of New York, youthful literary protege of Maxwell Bodenhelm, novelist, was found today in Provineetown after her father, Mai tin toeb, had directed the local polite to search for her. The father arrived today and Miss Loeb was with him tnolght By WILBUR E. ROGERS. At least three men, all Interested In Maxwell Bodenheim, the author of oomewhat lurid tales, whose literary protege, Virginia Drew, was found drowned last week, went to Province- town, yesterday afternoon to talk, with him. But there were no policemen in the group.

The police were officially not Interested. Bodenheim has not been arrested. No charge has been made against him. To the police, Virginia Drew killed herself by drowning, and that was all there was to It. At the time Headquarters was announcing that the location of the author offered nothing of' official Interest, however, it was receiving a "confidential report" that Gladys Loeb, 18, once a friend of the writer's, who tried to kill herself after Bodenheim had been something of a tutor for her, had been reported missing.

It was quite an Interesting partv which traveled up to Cape Cod to the quaintest town in Massachusetts. They were not pleasantly disposed, It seemed, as they went with the avowed Intention of asking Bodenheim interesting questions. Father Off to See Him. There was Dr. Martin Loeb of 2021 Grand Concourse, Bronx, father of Oladvs.

New York Central Railroad employee and father of the dead Virginia. He went with his son. Eugene who Is a well-built, energetic young man, who said that he wasn't particularly Interested in talking to Bodenheim.

In fact. Eugene Jr. didn't say much of anything, and It was partially apparent, at least, that there was not much, he thought, should be said to Bodenheim. Meanwhile Bodenheim himself, in a cottage at Provtnceiown was telling reporters and Massachusetts State police that he had had a hint that Virginia Drew was to kill herself, but that he thought he had cheered her tip and made her see that to live was the sensible thing to do. He told a story that conflicts with the story Virginia told her parents and the evidence which has come out since she was drowned and he Disappeared.

He said that Miss Drew was an entire stranger to him and asserted that Boni and Liveright, his publishers, had sent her to him so that he could review her poetry. Says She Was Perturbed. "I read some of her verses," he said, according to reports which have come from Massachusetts, "and I told her frankly her poetry was trite and un-talented. I advised her to try another form of expression. She became very much perturbed then and said she' was going to kill herself.

"I conversed with her for hours and tried to place her in a more cheerful mood. When she departed she promised she would continue to live. I didn't see her or hear from her until newspapermen told me today of her death." But Virginia had told her parents she had known Bodenheim several weeks. She had told Carolyn Nar-votny that she had known a "literary man" for some time. And it is certain, according to the telephone records of 119 W.

Authorities are especially concerned, it Is said, with the declaration of Con gressman Soto Gama, Agrarian leader and close friend of the late General, that "Morones must go or there will be actual war." It Is asserted that Soto Gama and other leaders of the Obregon bloc may be summoned before a court to prove statements attributed to thpm that Morones and Labor leaders opposed to General Obregon are "psychologically responsible" for his assassination "by causing an antl-Obra-gon atmosphere which influenced Jose De Leon Toral, a religious fanatic, to kill him Mucn confusion prevails as to when, where and how Jose De Leon Toral, the accused arsassin, Is to be tried.

Tribes of stoic Yaquis and Mayas. 3,000 Federal Mexican troops and many more thouannds of the people of all Mexico were gathered today to meet the body of their chieftain and escort it to a final resting place. Added Touch of Tragedy. Funeral services, in charge of the military and as simple as the hardy farmer of Cajeme could wish, were arranged for this afternoon at the little village of Huatabampo, Obre-gon's birthplace.

An added touch of tragedy to a scene already filled with evidences of grief was the collapse again of Senora Obregon this morning as the funeral train slowly crept into the railrond station at Navajoa.

Great Banks of Flowers. Contrasting sharply with the streamers of black crepe draped everywhere about Navajo were the i great banks of flowers brought by persons of every social rank and plane, as humble tokens of a respect lasting even into death. Off in the distance to the south the blue peaks of the Alamos mountains framed a setting beautiful even in its somber-ness.

Until today there had been considerable speculation as to whether or not the American lawyers would be hauled directly or indirectly Into the trial. Now there Is every indication that the American lawyer colony will take long vacations this summer, far from Paris, possibly in other countries.

Rich Americans in Panic. In view of the present panic among their former clients who now find their high-priced divorces of dubious value and in view of the shower of irritated inquiries from these clients, even America may be a doubtful haven for the American members oi the "mill." The unrest among the rich Americans who have paid high prices for their divorces is due to the fact that if the charges of the French Ministry of Justice that the divorces were obtained by fraud are sustained the divorces will become illegal. On the other hand, the American lawyers find little comfort in the fact that fraud cannot be charged against them since they are foreigners and cannot practice in the French courts.

The most striking feature of the poll was the large shift on the part of Coolldpe supporters in 1924 to Smith in 1928.

In Democratic strongnolds this shift was unusually high, sometimes 100 percent, and even where Republican support was the strongest, among the women voters, the bankers and the residents of Brooklyn Heights. Smith maintained an average of C3 percent of those changing between the two parties. In conducting the Eagle's poll numerous and varied expressions of political opinion were heard. To the laboring man Smith was manifestly an Idol, one who had risen without education from the city streets.
