FORMER GOVERNOR HART IS ARRESTED; ASKEDBRIBE.CHARGE Ex-Head of Washington State Accused by Special Deputy Bank Examiner. Tacomn, May 30 (P) For mer Governor Louis F.

Hart of Wash ington was arrested last night on charge of soliciting a bribe while he was in office. He submitted to ar rest, was released on bail, made no statement concerning the charges ond then attended a "twilight base ball game. The charge resulted from affidavits filed with a county attorney by-Forbes P. Haskell a special dep. uty bank examiner in Washington and Guy E.

Kelly, formerly an attor ney ror tne liquidator of the defunct Scandinavian American Bank of Taeoma. The information accuses Tlnrt nf asking that Guy E. Kelly and Forbes P. Haskell Jr. "pay him a certain sum of money from the assets of the Scandinavian American Bank of Taeoma." Haskell and Kellv are exnected In be the star witnesses for the State, as lt is on the strength of their affidavits that the ex-Governor was arrested.

The offense charged Is a felonv and is punishable by a maximum line of $5,000 or 10 years In the Penitentiary, or both. DEATH LIST GROWS IN MINE EXPLOSION Coal Glen, X. C. Mav 30 (A) The mine of the Carolina Coal Company rucaea cany Wednesday by an explosion which entombed an undetermined number of men, today had yielded 53 victims, two more than tne number first thought bv com pany officials to be missing.

A recheck of the list of missing revealed that five other miners were unaccounted for and lt was thought tho removal of debris from the second right lateral would uncover the bodies. The death list issued today con tained the names of 27 white men and 22 negroes, with four bodies yet unidentified. Smoking in the mine, a practice forbidden by the owners, may have been the cause of the explosion, according to a revelation made by Dr. John L. Scott.

Fanford physician. In charge of the temporary morgue. He told Government experts that he had found matches In the pockets of several of tho negro victims. "ft flujsw TWO HIGHWAY LINKS PUSHED TO RELIEVE BORO MOTOR JAMS In order to bind together the several highways leading out of Brooklyn into Long Island parkways and provide short cuts, two small pieces of roadway improvement are being pressed toward completion by the boro administration. One of these Is a cut from the Ridgewood reservoir through the East Xew York cemeteries to Forest Park, and the other is a roule from Eastern parkway southeast to Linden boulevard.

The cemetery cut-off is the more Important. Boro engineers and officials have been working for years to secure a right of way that would provide a direct outlet from Eastern parkway, Bushwick parkway and Highland boulevard into spacious Queens roads leading out on the Island, without crowding such traffic through Jamaica ave. or the eastern end of Eulton and to avoid the Snake Hill grado leading from Highland boulevard down into Jamaica ave. Both Jamaica ave. and Fulton st.

are busy trolley routes. The boro officials are seeking to relieve the situation to a certain extent by the pnving of Liberty ave. to tho south. This work is under way. Hut Boro President Gnirier nnrl Hoi-o P.

Farley do not believe this is a sufficient provision for the future. Therefore tho attempt to get a right of way across the cemeteries to the north has been undei taken. Xew Plan Evolved. The first moves in this direction were defeated by the objections of tho cemeterieB, but a new plan has been worked out and In general principles seems to be acceptable to most of tho interests concerned. It calls for a road from the intersection of Highland boulevard und Snako Hill through a small portion of Salem Field Cemetery, nlong the boundary of Union Field Cemetery and Cypress Hills, across a Part of the latter cemetery to Forest Park, where It is planned to develop one of the parkways into a motor drive of nt least a 6-stream-traflic capacity all the way across the park to Queens boulevard nt Maple Grove.

This will provide a direct and well paved route from Highland boulevard, which in turn connects by good roads with Eastern parkway and Bushwick ave. to the west and Kings highway to tho south, eastward to Queens boulevard, which Is a very wide highway running gen- Jerally northwest and southeast and connecting with practicany an oi ine eastern bound through hignways. Tho plan for this improvement has been worked out by the Boro President and is now before the Eoard of Estimate for adoption. Another Short-Cul. The other short-cut contemplated is a new connection between Eastern parkway nnd Linden boulevard.

At present there is about completed a route via Howard ave. and Kings highway. But for travelers coming from the western section of the boro this means that they must double hack on their path to a certain ex tent, since Howard ave. runs south henrlncr a few points to ine west, in order to provide another connection and a more direct one, me ooro engineers have laid out Roekaway parkway, from Linden boulevard to East New York whero lt picks up Buffalo nve. for a short block into Eastern parkway.

"Rockawav parkway," said Boro Engineer Farley. "Is a thoroughfare 120 feet wide and it Is expected that just as soon as the title proceeding has advanced sufficiently to get physical possession, the improvement of this street will be put under way so (hut residents from parts of Brooklyn lying to the north and west may come by way of Bushwick ave. or Eastern pnrkway through it to Linden boulevard and hence out on the Island."

X. May 30 Infection and death by radium as a new type of occupational disease formed the subject of a discussion by Dr. F. Hoffman of New York, before the section on Preventive Medical and Public Health of the American Medical Association here. The speaker revealed that five women have died and ten others have been stricken down with what is called "radium necrosis," brought on while painting watch dials with a radium preparation in a factory In East Oransc, N.

J. According to Dr. Hoffman, the women, while handling the radium, had introduced tiny particles into their inomhs by wetting with their tongue the ends of the brushes. The result has been that the gums of those affected disintegrated progressively In spite of everything that could be done. The 15 involved were all young factory girls.

Although several Investigations hnvo been made, Dr. Hoffman said that no method has been found by which this radium necrosis, onco it has taken hold, can be hfllted or cured. Tho situation, he said, calls for further expert Inquiry "to avoid still more serious results." Ir. Francis Carter Wood of New York, reading a paper on "Cancer Immunity," declared that neither radium nor anything else Known to science could be considered a cure fog cancer. Surgery, he said, was the only method which might be used In the early stages with success.

VKTKRAV NEEDS AID. John De Leo, an er-service man, suffering from chronic nephritis, the foundation of which was laid when ho was serving his country, must get out into the fresh air if his condition is to improve. He cannot walk, and the. Income of the family will not permit him to have a wheel chair. The Brooklyn Branch of the American Red Cross is sending an appeal for such a chair through firs.

He was recently elected president of the Architectural League of New York.

He was tho first American architect received as a member of Beaux Arts. Ho was born in Washington, D. Oct. 19, 1871. After graduating from i ale, class of 93, he took I special course at Columbia Uni versity during 1893-94, and then went to Paris to continue his studies.

HYLAN AND ENRIGHT v. v. SEE FREEDMAN SAIL Mayor John P. Hylan and Police Commissioner Richard E. Enright among me score of persons who visited the White Star liner Olympic, prior to her departure for Cherbourg and Southampton, short ly after midnight last night, to bid goodby to Daniel Freedman, philanthropist and honorary police commissioner.

Mr. Freedman will make a two-months' tour of France and England. The Police Glee Club serenaded him. George MacDonald. honorary police commissioner, and John Mc-Cooey, Brooklyn Democratic leader, also were on Ihe vessel to bid bon voyage to Mr.

Freedman. The liner carried a total of 1,000 passengers. GeVirge McAneny, chairman of the Transit Commission, and Mrs. Mc Aneny sailed nt noon today on the for England. They are going to see their win, Herbert McAneny receive his degree from Oxford L'ni-verslty, where he has been taking a two-year post-graduate course after being graduated from Willlnms Col lege.

Mr. and Mrs. McAneny will be gone less than a month. Gets More It was on his 1923 expedition to the same region that Dr. Andrews established the fact that the dinosaur, or "terrible lizard" of pre historic ages, laid eggs.

On that occasion he brought back 25 sped mens, the first ever discovered by modern scientists. These eggs, from which were hatched the great fighting- reptiles which reached 60 or 70 feet In length, nre extremely valuablo be cause of their rarity. They are elliptical, and from five to six Inches long. The ones first discovered were found In "nests," and In a petrified state. Dinosaur bones have been un earthed in the United States, espe dally In the West, lending support to the theory that the American and Asian continents were joined at one time by a lanJ bridge, the pre sumahle remains of which are the Alaska Peninsula and tho Aleutian arcfiiiieiaso.

Two Governments Now Virtu ally Agreed on Terms of Note to Germany. Paris. May 30 W) The French and Brltlrli Governments hava reached an accord on all essential points concerning the stern Euro- pean security pact proposed by Germany, it was stated in official circle! today. The British note to the French Government detailing the British attitude, delivered yesterday by LorJ. Crewe, the British Ambassador, marks great progress toward the point where actual negotiations of ihe pact itself mav begin, officials believe.

A few minor points remain to ba thrashed out by Fraeco-British ne gotiations before thj French reply to the German security pact proposal will be sent to Bcrl'n. However, it the optimism prevailing today at the French Foreign Office Is fully justified active negotiations may be expected within a month or six weeks. It was understood that the notes exchanged by the British and French governments discussed the securi'y of German frontiers with Poland and Czechoslovakia, as well as the Franco-German frontier. The assumption, from the declarations that Britain and France have agreed on all essentials, was that a way has been found to adjust London's previous disinclination to Include the eastern frontiers in the proposed pact, with the French Insistence that both the eastern and western fronlers of Germany be considered. COMMUTERS STAND IN BAGGAGE CARS Those commuters along the South Shore of Long Island who tried to reach Brooklyn and Manhattan this morning were handed another grievance to add to the list that has been growing rapidly since the Inauguration of the electric service on the Long Island Railroad to Babylon.

Operating on a Sunday schedule and with most of the usual trains taken off. the 7:54 left Babylon made up of one mall cair nnd three cars, of which one-half of each was for baggage. This train stops at all stations from Babylon to Lynbrook. By the time it reached Bellmore every seat was filled and dozens were standing. The sections of each half of each car reserved for baggage were packed with standing commuters.

Krom Bellmore to Lynbrook lt was only with the greatest difficulty that the many additional passengers were crowded on the train. At Jamaica a regular passenger car was added to the train to give some relief to those passengers bound for Pennsylvania Terminal. Members of the train crew said that the fault lay with the yardmaster at Babylon, who should have put more cars on the train and who should have used ears that were not supposed to carry baggage. YOUNG AMERICAN TENOR ACCLAIMED IN GERMANY Berlin, May 30 Oh1) The news-paper critics today have warm praise for Richard Crooks, American tenor, who made his Berlin debut yesterday. Some pronounce him one of the finest tenors they ever have heard and call for a return engagement.

Mr. Crooks, who Is a native of Trenton, X'. began his musical career as a boy soprano at All Souls Church, Xew York. Adapted From Omar's Million Dollars and Take pent of Old Nile, as Cleopatra waa called. For the benefit of those who have not read "The Rubaiyat," it is a story of mother-love and romance in old Persia.

Omar, a young poet, is regarded on all sides as at fat-head, though it is art that swirls in his nanctsome young head. He is about 21 when Richard the Llon-Hcarted issued his ringing cry "To Arms!" which began the first Crusade. Regarded as a craven, voum Omar confounds his critics by en listing ror the duration of the Cru sade and Is sent to an officers' train ing camp at Camp Mills, where he meets Fatlma, a girl who moved to Patchogue about the time the soldiers arrived. Fatlma is in reality the daughter of El Akhbar II Akbar, a Persian nabob, but she was kidnaped in her youth by gypsies, who later turned her over to the care of a hardware dealer splendidly portrayed by Lew Cody. In this household she Is mistreated and is miserable though beautiful.

Came a day when young Omar saved her life. She falls instantly in love with tho young poet, who buys two locomtlves and crashes them into each other to please her. This scene Is particularly well done by Mr. DeMille and Is only further evidence proving him the. greatest of tho directors.

At this point Lew Cody dies nnd confesses his duplicity, and Fatima is restored to her rightful parents, who nre beautifully and brilliantly played by Theodore Roberts anil Vera Gordon. On the same dny Scrlbncr's Magazine accepts young Omar's mastcrpleco. "The Rubaiyat." with illustrations by C. D. Williams, and the young poet becomes a success.

The last scene shows a bugler blowing "Taps" over the hills of old Persia, while Omar and Fatima, their troubles at last at an end, embrace, while Theodore Roberts: blinks to hide his tears nnd Vera Gordon weeps unrestrainedly. The adaptation of the poem hs been carefully made and adheres to the original except In such place- where Mr. DeMille has thought of better, deviceB. The captions and subtitles have been splendidly done by Anita Loos. For example: rmlern-ath hew, I'd Ilk to hit with thou, A rnir.

Risk Element Reduced; Navy Considers Search for Amundsen Unlikely. Eagle Bureau. Nil Colorado Building. 11 JOHN BII.I.IM.S Jr. Washington, May 30 Forebodings about the fate of Captain Amundsen, long overdue from polar wastes, in no way have lessened the faith of Donald B.

M.ic.Millan and Lt. Com. Richard Byrd in the success or their own aerial exploration trip Into the Arctic next month. Their expedition, they feel, is being much more carefully planned than was that of the Norwegian's and the element of risk has been greatly reduced by manifold precautions. This trip, they explain, is In no sense a stunt, but rather a cold-blooded attempt to discover land that is be-lleed to lie between the Xorth Pole and the upper rim of the American Continent.

Rcwiic By Plane Improbable. The chances of the MacMillan-Ryrd expedition turning aside from its present expectations to attempt a rescue nf Captain Amundsen are still considered remote in Navy circles. If. when the American party reaches Htah. Amundsen is still missing, there Is a possibility that Commander Byrd will try to "scout around'" for him by airplane, but Captain MacMillan holds out almost no hope of ever finding- the Norwegian by this method.

MacMillan believes that If the Amundsen planes crashed in the Arctic the explorer and his party are so far as ever finding them by airplane in the Arctic Is concerned. "It's just like hunting for a button In Washington," was the way the American explorer phrased it. Another factor operating against such rescue work on the part of MacMillan is that the operations of the two expeditions will be some 100 degrees apart. To Fill In I nknown's Void. Captain MacMillan has been care ful to make the point that his party DEATHS PARR On Mav 28.

Squabble May Break Out, This diplomatic question Is now naffiiliQlli.n" ,11, A rVnIVI nil. thoritative sources it Is learned that quite a squabble may break out at any time about discoveries ine mrifit nnrtv mnv make in that particular Arctic region.

In the first place tnere are ine questions of ship and plane bases. The I nited Slates recognizes Den mark's claim to Greenland and "as received from that government the authorization to make a ship hast at Etah. at the upper end of Balfln Bay, In Smith Sound. According to present plans, on airplane base will be established at Axel Helberg Land, several hundred miles to the westward. Theoretically this land belongs to Canada and from the Dominion Government there must be obtained permission to establish a base there.

This permission has not yet been procured, bu the American explorers believe that within a short time the necessary arrangements will be completed. Otlior Controversies Looming. The reason permission Is necessary is because the party is using United States Xavy planes and has an olfl-cial government sanction to make all possible discoveries in the unknown region, discoveries that might seriously Interfere with Canada's claim to all this unexplored territory to the north of the Dominion. In all this northern exploration this year there are possibilities of great international controversy, it is remarked by those familiar with the circumstances. Captain Amundsen mav suddenly emerge from the silent wilderness of the Arctic with claims of discovering land at the pole or beyond in the name of Norway.

The Americans may make an Important territorlnl find that would clash with the claims of Canada to this region. A first-class squabble eus'ly could break out over less important items between nations. The importance of this land above the present limits of the American continent is being explained here by members of the party on the ground that it would soon form a definite link in Arctic airways across the. top of the world which would furnish short-cut routes from one hemisphere to the other. New York-ToUlo Routes Shorter.

Fur instance, an air route from Xew Yorlito Toklo over the Xorth Pole would be 1,000 miles or more shorter than the circuit about the earth's edge. The same would be true from the west coast of America to Ixindon. Several aeronautical experts firmly believe the day will come when international air travel, military and commercial, will follow the shortest route across the Arctic, the lnnt-er wav around. For this reason ownersnip ot lauu the Arctic is of importance to what- nitlnr, nrrliAa tlrsf to make claims of discovery. Canada, already discerning this tact, lays utun without making the discovery.

Captain MacMillan is confident of finding tho strange Crockerland when he arrives in me norm his airplanes. The presence of United nisnM nnri officers are sufficient to substantiate any claims of territorial uiscovery mr mm vun-try, without additional credentials or letters of authorization such as Amundsen carried from the Xor- wegian Government. Peary's Trip Recalled. MacMillan himself, in 1909, went with Peary to a point near the 87th parallel, where, witn nis reel uauiy l.n frtvc.l to tlim back. Captain Bartlett, who travelled with Peary to ine hsiu parauei, wa only other white man to make the trip as far north.

In 1913 MacMillan conducted an expedition search of Crockerland, penetrnting 150 miles Into the Arctic Ocean from the nolnt where Peary believed he saw the land. MacMillan saw as Peary did, but he finally was stopped by broken ice before he was able to determine whether the cliffs anil snow-capped peaks that ho saw so plainly on the horizon were real or merely a strange mirage on the northern sky, reflecting a land still hundreds or thousands of miles farther on. The MacMillan expedition will set out to find this northern land from Boston on June 17 with two ships, tho 1'carv and the liowdoln, carrying threo airplanes. Thirty-six men make up the par'y, five of them scientists from the National Geographic Society. Planes to Have Radio.

Unlike the Amundsen expedition, the MacMillan planes will be equipped with radic, which Government experts are confident will keep them in communication with their base and ships and thence with tho United States. The planes are specially constructed equipped with wheels for land, pontoons for water nnd skids for Ice. One piano is strong enough fo bring hack the crews of ihe other two if disaster overtake them. The Peary will carry the planes to Etah, Greenland, 11 degrees from tho pole. By relays the planes will establish a base on the northwest, tip of Axel Heiberg Land, 250 miles west of Etah.

At this advanced base will be placed some 8.U00 gallons of gasoline and oil. Operations then will commerce out over tho unexplored region. If all goes well MacMillan hopi to make three aeria! trips on diveig-Ing westerly routes, each trip covering about fiOO miles out and 500 miles back. If Crockerland is found within this radim the pany will land nnd make further explorations. "We can do as 1 inch with an airplane in one day as could be done with dog teams in three months," said MacMillan.

Weather No Handicap Arctic temperature, MucMillon believes, will not prove a serious handicap. Previous explorations, he said, have shown the temperature over the Arctic in August ringe as high as 40 to 62 degrees nnd never drops below 20 degrees. The Peary expedition found ttrat from February to May there was more opo.11 water than Ice and that the areas of open water were increasing constantly during the summer. The naval experiments wilh radio ave Indicated that by the use of a very short wave length messages tan be sent from a landed plane In daylight approximately 660 mile-. This is a novel feat and MacMillan believes it has solved the communication problem of tho trip.

Xeverthr-less, as a carrier pigeons will lie taken along and train. carefully to operate from the planes to the plane base anl from the baso to Etah. Tho naval fliers, aceor ling to MacMillan. have more confidence In the pigeons than they have i the radio. Captain MacMillrn told of Admiral Peary's suppoKcd discovery of Crockerland.

Study of the tides, he said, had long before convinced scientists that there was a large area of land in tho unexplored region westward of the pole. Peary, from ONE WORD AFTER ANOTHER By NUNNALLY JOHNSON 'The Flower of Fassion" Rubaiyat, Will Cost One Two Years to Make. a point on the north shore of Axel Heiberg Land, belmved he saw this continent, which he named Crockerland. nnd estimated it to lie l-'O miles to the northwestward. Land Always JiL-t Ahead.

"In 1913 we went in search of this land," said Captain MacMillan. "When we had traveled 7.5 miles from Axel Hcibevs" we clearly saw the cliffs and nioimlrdns ahead of us, as Peary saw them. They were so plain that we re convinced we would reaeh them in a day or two days of travel, but we moved on for five days, an additional distanco of 75 miles, always with the land seemingly ahead hut without being able to gain a foot tn it. Then we struck the great area of crushed and broken ice, through which wt were able to travel not more than a mile a day. We abandoned the task as hopeless.

"Now we are going to attempt tho same routo by airplane. The planes we have will carry sufficient for from 1,300 to 1.400 miles of continuous flying, but we will not attempt more than 1 ono ml'es at a single trip. This means a penetration into the unknown of 500 to 650 miles from our advanced base."

EDITH ZORX. Preview. HE RUBAIYAT OF OMAR KHAYYAM" has teen claimed hy the movlra. Within the vext six months, according to press reports, work ttifl be started on it as a super-extra-HUra-super-ctvel super- production. The movies don't care, of course, but this exclusive rct'lcm of the finished picture can he kept in type and firoien into the paper the day after the premiere.

www Sir James Fitzgerald's and Jeanie Macpherson's beautiful romance, "The Toy of Mad Passion," adapted from the well-known poem, "Rubaiyat," by Omar Khayyam, the distinguished Persian bard, was shown at the Umpty Theater last night be fore a brilliant first night gathering. In this picture Cecil DeMille has outdone himself. In several scenes we are thinking of the scene In the brilliant supper club in the West 40s and the one showing General Lee congratulating General Grant shortly after Waterloo tho master dlrcc tor has exhibited a brilliance far and away beyond anything the screen has known since his lust picture, "The Mad Toy of Passion." As the young romantic poet, Omar, Richard Dlx is superb and bril liant. He has managed to catch the feeling of that romantic and brilliant period In Persian history and gives a splendid and brilliant Interpretation, especially In the scenes where he bids his mother and sweetheart good-bye and sets oft for tho first Crusade. As l'atlma.

the seductive young sweetheart, Colleen Moore gives a brilliant performance. This young girl is a comer in the movies. She was well prepared for this supreme test, having acted "Flaming Youth" and six women in "So Big," and she has managed here to catch the exotic atmosphere and romance of the ser Dinosaur Eggs in Mongolia liy the AnsocialPd Prrss.) More dinosaur eggs have been found on the reputed site of the Garden of Eden. In addition to these petrified remains, say dispatches from Urga, Mongolia, Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews and the expedition for tho American Natural History Museum have discovered In the Gobi Desert human and animal skeletons of the Stone Age.

ostrich eggs also were found, together wilh thousands of stones laboriously polished by hand nnd estimated to be from 10,000 to years old. Half tho expedition's discoveries must bo turned over to the Mongolian Government, under the conditions of the agreement by which the explorers were permitted tc penetrate the vast plateau which Dr. Andrews has termed "tho paleontologlcal Garden of Ednn" and man's probable place of origin..
