The death of the senator came only a few weeks after he returned to Iowa from Washington for his final summer vacation as a senator.

Senator Cummins’ associates de- clared tonight that his recent po- litical reversals could not have had any effect upon his health or any bearing upon his illness.

TINY FORD MONOPLANE, LONG A OEGHET, FLIES Manufacturer, on His Sixty- Third Birthday, Has Craft Assenined on Field. WEIGHT IS 360 POUNDS Detroit. July 30 A tiny monoplane. uct of the Ford laboratories, which its details have been jeal- ously givfarded for months, was shown to visitors today by Henry Ford. With a wing spread of 22 feet and a fuselage of 15 feet, the plane is one of the smallest single-seat- ers ever built. It previously hag been successfully tested at the Ford airport here. ‘Today Henry Ford himself started the motor to dem- onstrate the craft to visitors here to congratulate him on his sixty- third birthday. Equipped with a three-cylinder, air-cooled motor of French make, the plane weighs only 350 pounds. It is intended, according to Ford officials, to replace the motor with a two-cvlinder Ford-built engine, reducing the weight to 310 pounds. With the engine developing 36 horsepower at 1.600 revolutions per minute, peller 6 feet in length, the plane has an estimated speed of 85 miles an hour. The private demonstration of the craft was given several days ago for Henry and Edsel Ford, the baby plane being assembled on the field. The wings, two 10-foot panels, were brought in automobiles and placed on the ground. The fuselage, in which the motor had been installed, was placed on them and a few polts made fast. A moment later the ‘“‘air filvver’’ flew over the field for several minutes. Members.of the inspecting group said the machine was only an ex- periment. ‘‘Whether the Ford or- ganization will ever produce small airplanes in quantities remains to be seen. It is probable that we will build and test others—-among them an all-metal craft,’ they said. Otto Knappen, 26-year-old Ger- man engineer employed in the Ford experimental laboratories, is given credit for designing the plane. Another event celebrated on the manufacturer’s birthday was the production of car No. 14,000,000. The machine came off the assem- bly line a few days ago. It was only little more than two years ago that Ford broke all rec- ords then existing with production car No. 10,000,000. That was June 4, 1924. In slightly less than 26 months 4,000,000 more cars have been added. MISS BARRYMORE, ILL, UNDER SURGICAL CARE ee ee (By A. -P.).— Operation of Thursday May! Upset Stage Plans; Has Fought Bad Health. Special to The Washington Post. New York, July 30.—A specter of ill health again stalks the stage of Ethel Barrymore. She is in the Fifth Avenue hos- pital slowly recovering from a serious operation. Her friends were not permitted to see the gifted actress today, but assurance was given at the hospital and by Dr. Louis Rene Kaufman, who per- formed the operation, that she is progressing as favorably as could be expected. Illness has upset many of her theatrical ventureg in recent years, and the operation performed yes- terday may upset plans fom her re- turn to the stage. According to Walter J. Kingsley, of the Keith vaudeville circuit, Miss Barrymore was soon to reopen in Sir James M. Barrie’s one-act play, “The Twelve- Pound Look.” Miss Barrymore recently was re- ported to have given up vaudeville | bookings for this play, calling for a salary of $3,000 a week, to/care for son and John Prosek. one of her three children who had fallen victim to measles. the latest prod-_| in | and spinning a pro-|.

The 49-year-old aristocratic ma- tron was arrested late Wednesday night, after, authorities said, a “mass of new evidence’’ pointing to her as the slayer of the rector of fashionable St. John’s Episcopal church, in New Brunswick, and Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills, choir singer, had been discovered in an investi- gation ordered by Gov. Moore and State authorities. She was released by order of Chief Justice Gummere, to whom defense attorneys appealed today at Point Pleasant. Smiles at the Crowd. Accompanied by two of her law- her cousin, of New Brunswick, and others, Mrs. Hall emerged from the main entrance of the jail at 7:26 after a sheriff had made a personal appeal to the crowds to stand back. Mrs. Hall smiled; posed for photographers on the walk leading from the jail entrance, and laughed out loud as the crowds, which failed to heed the sheriff’s order, jostied her-into her car. The automobile was pursued by a host of newspapermen and photographers as it left town. Mrs. Hall was dressed in black and wore no veil. No New Arrests in Sight. Prosecutor Bergen, of Somerset county, refused to comment on Mrs. Hall’s release or on the amount of bail required. | He said that no other arrests were contemplated at present and that the grand jury would not be called into special session to con- (CONTINUED ON PAGE 4, COLUMN 5.)

There was a poignant note at these final services, for tomorrow Catholic priests will withdraw from the performance of their religious offices under the orders of the archbishopric of Mexico. Their ac- tion is intended as a protest against the government’s religious regula- tions, which they regard as strik- ing at the very heart of the church in Mexico. As the day drew to a close, the attorney general's office announced that department of justice agents will seal and place under govern- ment charge all “annexes” of all churches. By this is meant every church office or structure—except actual places of worship, including the archbishops’ and bisnops’ of- fices, vestry offices, sacristies and places where treasures are stored. This order is understood to be for the purpose of preventing the property. It is maintained by the government that since the reform law of more than 50 years ago, all church property belongs to the gov- ernment, although it has allowed the churches to continue in pos- session.
