New York, Aug. 12. -— Black clouds which rolled in from the northeast and southwest met over New York city late today and spilled ‘a rain and thunder storm that for fury and damage exceeded all weather bureau records for a storm of such short duration. Rain continued to fall throughout the evening, but the full force of the ‘storm hit the city and the territory ‘within a radius of 50 miles from 4:39 to 5:40 o'clock. During that pertod such a torren- tial rain fell that subway, bus, ele- vated and trolley lines were para- lyzed, electric light and telephone systems put out of commission, ceél- lars and streets flooded, automobiles abandoned by the score, building and subway excavations caved in, railroad rights of way washed out, ‘and the city’s milliong thrown into ‘a welter of fright and confusion as they struggled frantically to escape ‘the lashing rain and the crackling lightning that for a time broke the the In all the wide area affected by the storm only one fatality was re- ported, that of a 15-year-old boy, 'who.was struck by lightning while | crossing a field near Hightown, N. J. Probably a score of persons in 'Greater New York were injured, ‘either by the lightning directly or by being cut by glass after a build- ‘ing had been struck. No estimate of the damage caused by the lightning and the rain was possible, but it probably will be not less than $500,000 for the greater city and may possibly reach $1,000.- (CONTINUED ON PAGE 11, COLUMN 2.)

After the fine had been paid, cus- toms officials expressed the opinion that young Rockefeller had* at- tempted to evade the customs regu- lations in a spirit of bravado, Given “Bum Advice.” But George E. Downes, a repre- sentative of the William G. Rocke- feller estate, who paid the fine in cash, believed that “‘some one on board ship must have given young Mr. Rockefeller some bum advice, because he’s a good kid and there’s nothing wrong with him.”’ The youth ran afoul of the cus- toms men when he started to walk hastily toward the customs barrier last night after debarking from the liner France, wearing a top coat with bulging pockets. An inspector who believed any one wearing an overcoat on a $0- degree day needed closer inspection halted him and searched him. In the top coat pockets were found an expensive English pipe, a pair of binoculars, tWo ornamental auto- mobile radiator caps, and fourteen razors, none of which had been de- clared, although the ‘vouth had made a regular declaration and paid duty of $109.70 on other goods he 76.20 Fine Fixed.

It was at the cosmological con- gress in Rome, three years ago, where Jesuits from all over the world assembled, that Father Gip- prich --”~ Father Philips of George- town first met Father Dopp. Dur- ing his stay at Georgetown, the Belgian scientist has manifested keen interest in the seismic labor- atory under the direction of the Rev. Francis A. Tondorf, S. J., and the observatory. Father Tondorf added a touch of interest, by reading a paper in which he proclaimed the originator of the calculations by which it is possible to determine the weight of the earth as Father Carl Braun, a Jesuit priest of Belgium. Giving credit to Father Braun, as a Catho- lic, the speaker said that his name is not to be found in either the Catholic Encyclopedia of America or in the corresponding publication in Europe. Sessions will be resumed this morning, the convention closing late today with the election of new officers. This is the first time that the scientists have met in Washington. Fair Speeder, Worried, Admits G uilt 1 in Court Miss Esther W. Scott, of Sandy Spring, Md., had a friend go back on her yesterday. She celebrated the event by speeding down Con- necticut avenue, ‘“‘passing all the cars on the street,’ according to Motorcycle Policeman A. E. Brown, who summonsed her to traffic court — night on a charge of fast driv- ng. Miss Scott told Judge Macdonald she was a teacher in the public schools and had always taught and observed law and order. ‘I was worried yesterday and took it out on my car,’ she said. Judge Mac- donald agreed it was upsetting to be disappointed in a friend and took her personal bond. The Rev. Did you ever hear of an “Iceless” Summer Drink? We have “fireless’’ cookers, but fortunately there is no such thing as an “‘iceless’’ summer drink. For warm weather, drinks without ice would be as strange as the North Pole without snow. Since ice insurance costs less than one cent a pound, you can be an ice spendthrift without taxing your pocketbook. For true summer comfort use more ice! It is an excellent tonic for frayed nerves.

TRIP BY AIR TO SESQUI TAKEN BY NEWS MEN er tee Representatives of Washing- ton Papers Guests of Op- erating Company. Representatives of the Washing- ton newspapers were taken to the Sesquicentennial exposition in Phil- adelphia by airplane yesterday, as guests of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co. The flight was made in the ‘‘Kendrick,”’ one of the two Fokker eight-passenger flying ma- chines which make daily flights be- tween Washington and Philadel- phia. The ‘‘Kendrick’ took off from Hoover field, near Arlington beach, vesterday at noon, arriving at the flying field in the Philadelphia navy yard at 1:30 o'clock. »- The average speed was 90 miles an hour. The new Fokker planes, -which are similar to the plane used by Commander Byrd in his flight over the north pole, accommodate eight passengers and baggage. The closed- in compartment is large enough to permit the passengers to walk uround. Although a strong Wind blew yesterday, creating many air pockets, the giant plane rode as smoothly as if the air had been cushioned. Assault Case Postponed.

The trouble started, police say, when Mrs. Porter, leading a little spotted poodle dog, approached a man who was waiting for a street car at Fourteenth and H streets northwest and informed him that she was going to undress. The man protested, police say, but without avail. Policeman Mc- Ghee, standing nearby, noticed the woman's actions, but did not arrive on the scene until she had removed one shoe and stocking and was about to remove her dress. When Policeman McGhee tried to pull the dress down, he declared. Mrs. Porter bit him. Policeman S. V. Terry, of the traffic bureau, at- tracted by thé crowd of more than 800 persons who quickly gathered, tried to get Mrs. Porter to desist. but instead, he says, she started to berate him for interfering. Mr. Tilton then offered his aid. With the woman still fighting the policemen and spectators surging around the combatants, a call was sent to the First precinct station for the patrol.

Reviving an old world custom of observing ‘‘Lady Day” on the feast of the Assumption, August 15, the friars of the Barefooted Order of Carmelites will conduct special exercises in honor of the Blessed Virgin at the Mount Car- mel Retreat House for Women, 200 T street northeast, Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock. The exercises will include a pro- cession of the Catholic women or- ganizations of the city through the grounds. of the retreat house. All local sodalities of the Blessed Vir- gin will be represented, as well as members of the Children of Mary. The Very Rev. Paschasius Heriz, prior of the Carmelite community at Brookland, will direct the exer- cises and will conduct devotions at various small shrines’ erected through the retreat house grounds. Father Heriz will also deliver a short sermon and give benediction of the blessed sacrament at the close of the services. Plans for the ceremonies are un- der direction of the Rev.

HOOVER MAY DISCUSS IDEA WITH PRESIDENT Expressions af Diedearcvel by Realty Dealers Fails to Halt Negotiations. In spite of expressions of disap proval and declarations that ‘‘it can’t be done’ from many of the real estate dealers of Washington, E. W. Libbey, chief clerk of the Department of Commerce, yester- day continued his work of gather- ing data for Secretary Hoover on the proposal of an unnamed philan- thropist to build apartment houses to rent and sell at cost to govern- ment employes in the District. It will require between two and three weeks at the minimum before an adequate number of answers can be received to the question- naires being sent to between 50,- 000 and 60,000 employes asking whether the plan appeals to them sufficiently to gain their support in the form of rental or purchase of the proposed apartments, Mr. Lib- bey estimated yesterday. President's Support Expected. Although department officials de- clared they would have nothing fur- ther to say about the scheme until Secretary Hoover returns from a conference with President Coolidge at his summer camp and a_trip through the western section of the country, which will require about three weeks, it is understood that the Secretary will take up the ques- tion with President Coolidge. Mr. Hoover already has declared his conviction that President Coolidge will favor the plan and has chal- lenged statements from real estate dealers ¢lat activities of his depart- ment in the scheme were improper or illegal. There seems at present little like- lihood of any concerted move by real eState dealers to go into court over the question of governmental support, of the proposal, in spite of the feelings of many dealers that the sponsor of the plan has an un- fair advantage of them. Dealers Write to Hoover. Several dealers have written lei- ters to Secretary Hoover extolling the advantages of buildings they have or are erecting to rent at what they Say are low figures, or to sell at prices which are no higher cr even less than proposed in the so- called philanthropic building scheme. W. M. Ward, 1410 H street rorih- west, wrote Secretary Hoover teli- ing him of new five-room brick houses, which he is offering at bet- ter terms, he said, than those pro- posed for the new apartments He asked that his business be given a* much publicity by the Commerce Department as had been given the apartment plan, and sent copi#s vot his letter to the newspapers. Injunction Refused In Fruit Insignia Suit ——_ ———r -——— Justice Jennings Bailey, District Supreme court. refused a request for an order re- straining Secretary Jardine from carrying out plans for the use of a semi-official insignia by: growers and dealers in fresh fruits and vege- tables who cooperate with the De- partment of Agriculture and abide by its regulations governing han- dling of the products. The injunction was sought by the S. A. Gerrard Co. and Leonard, Crosset & Riley, fruit growers, of Cincinnati, Ohio, who contended that -the use of the department in- signia by dealers who abided by the regulations would work harm to the business of those who did not accept the plan and could not use the insignia. Justice Bailey de- clared the arrangement was purely voluntary and danger of loss to dealers who did not enter the scheme was remote. Delaware Man Talks To Life Underwriters of the yesterday “The Making of the Salesman”’ was the subject of a talk by James A. Fulton, vice president of the Continental Life Insurance Co., of Wilmington, Del., vesterday at the luncheon of the District Life Un- derwriter’s Association at the Raleigh hotel.

Reynolds, vice president of the Union Trust Co., of Detroit, would speak on the relationship be- tween trust companies and life in- surance companies at the meeting the second Thursday in November.

BROWN REQUESTS PLATS BE PREPARED Resumption of River Traffic From Tidewater Counties Stressed in Report. Location uf the farmers’ market to the waterfront, adjoining (the municipal fish market, received double impetus yesterday when the District wharf committee, in iis an- nual report to the commissiuners, urged the site and the specia) com- mittee working on the proijcct, headed by Maj. Cary H. Brown, asked District Surveyor Meivin C. Hazen to prepare plats of the prem- ises. The suggestion was made origzi- nally by Roland M. Brennan, clail- man of the wharf committee, sev- eral weeks z.go. Since then it has been indorsed in several quarters. The action of Maj. Brown’s commit- teg in requesting a survey, is held to indicate that the site is receiv. ing favorable attention from body. The wharf committece’s an- nual report says on the subject: “‘Attention is called to the avai!- ability of the water front on the Washington channel, between tne fish market and Fourteenth stieci, as a Site for a new farmers’ y;roduce market. It now appears that the central heating, lighting and vnower plant, authorized by Congress abou* thirteen vears ago will not be buli: on the Washington channel between Thirteenth and Fourteenth strects southwest. Encourage Water Traffic. “Establishment of a farmer's produce market on the water front should tend to encourage a resump- tion of water traffic in vegetables, fruits and other commodities from the rich tidewater counties of Maryland and Virginia. Moreover, railroad transportation is available across the street. Because of the municipal fish market on the water front it would appear that a farm- ers’ produce market adjoining on the west would_be a logical exten- sion of market facilities. “There has been a- gradual change in the character of south- west Washington in the last ten or fifteen years, from residential to commercial and industrial, so that a farmers’ market at this location would not appear to be in the least objectionable. “About 70 squares in this sec- tion of the city have been zoned for commercial or industrial use and there appears to be a tendency to establish large warehouses. refrig- erating plants and. other structures for storage of meats and other foodstuffs. “Upon completion of the Federal public building program recently authorized by Congress, there will be a number of large government buildings within a short distance of this site.’’ Recommends Moving Fire Tug. The wharf committee also recom- mends that the fire tug company be moved to share the new concrete wharf between M and N streets with the police department. It states that the fire-boat --"-rf can- not be used mueh longer with safety and adds: “Space could he provided by widening the new wharf to the pro- portions originally contemplated and erecting another headhouse ad- joining the present quarters of the harbor police precinct. The police department could use the down- stream side of the wharf and the fire department the upstream side, there being sufficient room _ for both activities. This would not in- terfere in any way with the pro- posed general improvement of the water front.”’ It is related that the morgue wharf is in bad condition and rec- ommendation is made that the morgue be moved to some other location, especially since only 22 of 172 inquests held during the last fiscal year concerned drownings. The recommendation also _ is made that the sand and workhouse wharf be not moved to the Anacos- tia river front, as has been sug- gested, but left where it is.

Salem, Ky., Aug. 12 (By A. P.). A story of praver meetings rather than of human_ suffering was brought out of the Hudson Zinc & Spar mine today by five miners imprisoned in its depths for 153 hours. It was a cheerful tale, as bright as the “hello boys; I ain’t sick”’ of Randolph Cobb, first of the quintet to see the sunlight again. It re- counted how, during the long hours without food and with but little water, the men became convinced, in the simple fashion of the western Kentucky folk, that their souls were saved. One of them did not yield until long after the others did, and he was the subject of long prayer. When they emerged this morning, on their cloth caps was penciled the message: “Tf we are dead us, we are saved.”’ All in Good Condition. when you find Seven men were working on a special night shift at the mine near here when collapse of a wall blocked their outlet at 10 o’clock last Thurs- day night.

George (., Clarence A. and (barles ations with the Mexico City govern- ment over the new oil land Sawa, will be discussed by Secretary Yal- logg with his chief during the four or five days he will pass at the summer White House. He plans to leave Washington Saturday morning, and remain at White Pine camp until Wednesday, when he is to speak at Plattsburg, N. Y. He probably will return to the camp Thursday for further conference before he réturns to the Capital to meet Ambassador Sheffield, who is to reach Washington late next week. | Meantime the department will seek further information aboui ‘he imprisonment of Grande. The onty charge against him reported to Washington is that of violating the Mexican constitution. The Secretary will receive the Knights of Columbus official today at the instauce of the Prestdent, who has “eferred the petition for government intervention to the State Department. Many other communications regarding the re- ligious conflict have reached the department, but there has been no indication thus far that officials were preparing to take any action. They have regarded the contro- versy as a domestic issue to be settled by M€xico— herself. Oil Attitude Unchanged. Nor is there .uy indication here of a stiffening of the government’s attitude in the ofl land controversy, despite indications that Ambassador Sheffield would like to see such a change. There are reasons to be- lieve that the latest American note on that subject is no less friendly in tone than its predecessors. Besides Mexican relations, Secre- tary Kellogg probabiy ‘vill discuss with the President reports made to him by the returning American dele- gates to the Geneva preliminary arms conference, and after the White Pine conferences it may be nossible for the government, speak- ing through the State Department head, to lay down more definitely its policy toward Geneva as well as toward Mexico City.

Thirty-seven men, arrested by pro- hibition agents in ‘raids on. clubs of the Loyal Order of Moose in sev- eral western Pennsylvania counties, signed pleas of nolo contendre in the office of United States Attorney John D.

CONCESSION GRANTED CATHOLICS IN CAPITAL Mayor Permits Them to Name Half of Each: Church Committee. Mexico City, Aug. 12 (By A. P.). The possible arrest and trial of the Most. Rev. Mora y del. Rio, vener- able archbishop of Mexico, and the most picturesque figure of the Catholic church in this country, was the chief topic discussed by Catho- lics today. This talk was occasioned by a statement from the ministry of the interior. that an alleged interview given by the archbishop to an American newspaper was to be in- vestigated by the attorney general on the ground that.it may have violated the _ constitution. The special clause cited is one which prohibits clergymen from criticizing the fundamental laws of Mexico or the Mexican government. Concession Made to Catholics. Something of a concession on the part of the government is seen in the action of the mayor of Mexico City in connection with the commit- tees having charge of the Catholic churches from which the priests withdrew on July 31, simultaneously with the going into effect of the religious regulations. The mayor has decided tita! these committees may be co'tapoed of five citizens appointed by tha municipality and of five Catho.lean. Up to now the committees have been made up only of municipal appointees. Under the new plan.the Catholic committeemen are to have charge of the management of rach church, but the municilpa! committeemen will assume responatbility for the property. It is believed this action of the mayor may somewhat appease th- Catholics, who have been worship: ing*in the churches in only small numbers because municipal commit- tees were in charge of them.

Pena explained, were wounded during fighting at Zahuayo, where, he declared, Cath- Olics attacked the soldiers, who used utmost prudence to avoid killing or injuring those in the crowd. ‘ Mexican Anticatholic ' Propaganda Protested eens Protest against the ‘‘intolerable’’ campaign of propaganda being car- ried on in organized fashion in the United States by the Mexican .gov- ernment has. been laid béfore Sec- retary of State Kellogg in letters written by Archbishop “Hanna, of San Francisco, and the Rev. John J. Burke, C. S. P., general secretary of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, summaries 6f which were made public by the conference Lyesterday. Accusing the Mexican consul gen- eral in New York with deliberately circulating false statements of fact and altering evidence to support his propaganda, Father Burke de- clared that the whole campaign of the Mexican government was de signed to arouse as great a portion of the Amerigan public as possible against the Catholic church in the United States, which he described as a religious institution of which 20,000,000 American citizens are members and whose record in patri- otic service, both in time of war and of peace, is of the highest order.”’ ‘Such activity on the part of the representatives of another govern- ment, here by courtesy of diplo- matic relations, is intolerable,’’ Father Burke declared. Proof in support of his charges of false and malicious propaganda has teen for- warded the State Department, at the request of Secretary Kellogg, and now is under study by the solicitor of the State Department, it is said. U. S. ACTION FUTILE IN MEXICAN ARREST (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) Business differences developed, and the company, alleging that Grande took improper commissoins, tele- graphed ‘him to come to Mexico City to discuss the situation. Grande arrived here August 2, and was arrested the next day and placed in jail incommunicado. On August 6, he succeeded in getting a note to the American consulate general, which was investigated, and which is supposed to have ob- tained suspension of the incom- ‘aunicado. The embassy representations were simultaneous with the cour- tesy visit which Ambassador Shef- field paid to the foreign office to say farewell before leaving on his vacation tomorrow. The embassy made it plain that Mr. Sheffield’s The religious situation continues deadlocked and the archbishopric says that if the boycott of: the League for Defense of Religious Liberty fails to induce the govern- ment to yield, or if it does ‘hot yield otherwise, the situation will con- tinue deadlocked indefinitely, be- cause the archbishopric is under papal instructions not to accept un- der any circumstances the new re- ligious regulations. The only course left them, the archbishopric says, is an attempt to obtain an amendment to the consti- tution. This requires a two-thirds vote of the federal congress and approval by the majority of the state legislatures. a The commission of experts ap- pointed by the department of finance recently has begun its in- vestigation of the economic situa- tion in an effort to find a solution for the exchange disorders, brought about by the depreciation of silver currency and the general business depression. Although reports com- ing in from various sections of the country indicate that the boycott, by which. many Catholics are show- ing their disapproval .of the religi- ous regulations, is adding to the already bad economic and business situations, the government does not ble for the appointment of the com- mission. Clashes and Killings Denied. The department of war, breaking its silence policy to deny reports of serious clashes on August 1 and 2, in;the states of Michoacan and Guanafuata, in connection with suspension of services in Catholic churches, informed the Associated, Press today that no Catholic priests had been executed anywhere in Mexico and that no citizens have been killed in fighting between the people and soldiers. It was, added that five citizens had been executed for crimes in connection with the religious controversy. Miguel Pena, nudersecretary of war, declared that the report of Archbishop Ruiz y Flores, of the state of Michoacan, of excesses and executions was’ incorrect. Gen. Pena said one policeman was killed at Zahuayo, Michoacan, when a crowd attacked soldiers. There had been no trouble whatever at Irapu- ato, where Archbishop Ruiz heard a Protestant woman was murdered. eg. eee One Catholic priest and several oe Se -_—— a ' ATTENTION: National Organizations— Local Organizations— 7 call was not connected with the Grande protest. iinae Hae © vie sd s ee oe en eee Ree ee A ee ee i ee OIL CONCERNS IN MEXICO! OPEN FIGHT ON NEW LAW Hundreds Made Idle in Pro- test Against Ruling Fixing Pressure Point. — LABOR CHIEFS WORRIED (Special Cable Dispatch.) Mexico City, Aug. 12.—The first move of American oil companies against the new oil decree, demand- ing suspension of oil output when the oil pressure declines below a certain point, was made yesterday in Cierro Viejo and Tierra Blanca districts in the state of Vera Cruz by the Huastaca and El] Aguila com- panies, representing the combined British and American oil interests. The companies mentioned took ad- vantage of the decree to declare complete suspension of well drilling, closing numerous wells reported as having an oil pressure lower than that demanded by law. Hundreds of workmen are being dismissed without hope of obtaining employment, as other oil companies are not taking men and most of them are preparing to reduce their staffs. Labor union leaders wired today that the condition of laborers in oil camps is getting steadily worse, with no hope of bettering the labor situation. It was said at the offices of the Huasteca company today that the suspension of work will continue until new arrangements are effected with the government as the output of oil is decreasing rapidly and wells are subject to suspension as decried by the latest government regulations. It is reported that other strong companies will follow the example of the Agila and Huasteca. The development of the oil fields’ situation in the last week has given labor leaders more concern than any situation of the last year. Huasteca and Aguila companies three days ago suspended extensive work in laying: oil ducts in which they intended to invest millions, the suspension being due to the recent decree which requires: that all oil be stored in tanks for inspection be- fore it is transported.

‘ ‘COOLIDGE BUSINESS STATISTICS TODAY | i Secretary Kellogg Will Be “4 White Pines Visitor on Sunday. PRESIDENT CATCHES UP WITH ROUTINE AFFAIRS Son of Chief Executive: Ex- ‘pected Soon After Close of _ Summer School Course. - Paul Smiths, N. Y., Aug. 12 (By A P.).— President Coolidge’s en- gagement list clear of visitors, he spent today at the executive offices attending to government business and in the solitude of white pine. The mercury stood at 67 degrees, as reports were received of tempera- trues around the century mark in Washington. An overcast sky with occasional ight falls of rain, whipped by a chilly breeze, caused little discom- fort to the President and he spent several hours at his deck, disposing of matters which were described as routine in character. A report on business conditions in the country is to be made to Mr.) Coolidge tomorrow by Secretary Hoover, of the Department of Com- merce, who will alsq take up a num- ber of departmental matters with the chief executive. Secretary Kellogg, of the Depart- ment of State, is to arrive by auto- mobile Sunday morning and with Mrs. Kellogg remain at the summer White House several days. He is to be followed by Senator Wads- worth (Republican), NeW York, and a number of others whose names have not been announced, but who will appear here almost every day during the next two weeks. John Coolidge, son of the Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge, who has been attending the summer school of the University of Vermont, is also expected here soon, upon the com- pletion of his course, to remain un- til September. ENFORCEMENT MONEY ESCAPES BUDGET CUT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) numerous projects for the national defense. The navy will be hard hit by the President’s use of the budgetary knife. It will be unable to proceed expeditiously with the construction of the ten 10,000-ton cruisers authorized by Congress, and may be compelled to place additional ships in reseyve and further restrict the annual ‘practise maneuvers for lack of sufficient fuel aliowance. Developmen: of , adequate naval bases on the Pacific coast and in the Hawaiian Islands will be made impossible, and the army will be compelled: to mark time in the strengthening of the land defense of the Panama canal, which has been proved vulnerable in the war games of the last three years. But prohibition enforcement is not to be stinted. The cost of en- forcing the dry law during the last fiscal year, including the operations of the coast guard and the con- struction of additional rum chasers, was in the neighborhood of $30,- 000,000. With the increased force of pro- hibition agents and the strengthen- ing of the coast guard forces and emergency operations, for which deficiency appropriations will be asked at the next session of Con- gress, it is likely that even this huge outlay to regulate the appetite of American citizens will be exceed- ed this vear. The budget estimates for. 1928 cal] for a still greater expenditure to make prohibition prohibit. From the viewpoint of the progress made in ‘achieving a more effective en- forcement of the law, the adminis- tration regards the increase in pro- hibition appropriations more than justified. The time is believed to be not far distant when the appropriation of $50,000,000 a year for prohibi- tion enforcement will be merely a routine budget item, unless the movement for modification of the Volstead act should be successful in the next two or three years. The more extreme drys are ready now to vote annual expenditures of $100,- 000,000 or more to stamp out the illicit liquor traffic. They would offset this enormous additional government expenditure by curtail- ment of the army and navy. The Adirondacks, where the President is spending the summer, offers an illuminating illustration of the practical working of prohibi- tion enforcement at a cost of $30,000,000 a.year. Before the President came, smuggled over the Canadian border in considerable quantity. The price was $5 a quart for Scotch, 75 cents a quart for ale. The administration decided that perfecting the Adirondacks must be made bone: dry while the President sojourned here, even at the risk of letting the rest of the country get wetter. A force of 200 prohibitfon agents was established at Malone, N. Y., to dry up the northern border. Every road was policed and scores of truck- loads of liquor seized coming south. It wasn’t long before the stream of smuggled liquor was reduced to a trickle and the price of Scotch went up to $8 a quart, and ale to $1.25. ae 8 Ample f a ble interest b easonadie liquor was being} ‘Loops for Saaur ‘(i | Is Seen by Solicitor Philadelpitia, Aug. 12 (By A.

P.).—Orville S. Poland, head of the legal department of the New York State Antisaloon league, had no personal knowledge to substan- tiate his charge in a public state- ment, issued last~ Saturday, that gamblers understood the Saratoga Springs gambling investigation had been “fixed” with Gov. Smith so that the accused officials would be cleared. Testifying today in response to a subpena from Supreme Court Jus- tice ffernan, he said he based his statefhent on an affidavit by Sol Rosenberg, said to be an employe of Abraham Weinberg, a private de- tective, who has testified regarding gambling at Saratoga Springs. In this affidavit Rosenberg quotes Frank Kehoe, and a man named Goldman to the effect that they op- erated at Riley’s hotel and the Ar- rowhead inn after the investigation was started because “they did not have to worry; eevrything is fixed.” “Have you any knowledge Gov. Smith has been approached on this question?” asked James A. Leary, attorney for Sheriff Wilmot. “No,” was the reply. Jules Formel, who testified as a prosecution witness that District At- torney Andrus received payments from gambling houses, was recalled by the defense in an effort to break down his story that he was offered $35,000 while in prison to testify against Andrus, but he would not change his testimony. REPEAL TO BE FOUGHT BY MISSOURI'S DRYS Meeting Will Organize the Prohibitionists in Refer- endum Vote. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 12 (By A. P.).—Missouri dry leaders today were perfecting plans for a State wide conference at Jefferson City, September 2, to protest against “surrendering the State to moon- shiners, bootleggers and their as- sociates in crime,’”’ by the proposed repeal of the State prohibition law. A referendum vote is to be taken in the November election. The-call for the meeting was is- sued by a committee, including former State Senator X. P. Wil- fley and David W. Hill, former speaker of the State house of rep- resentatives, both of St. Louis. The list of 250 signers was headed by Gov. Sam Baker and three former governors. The committee statement declares the proposal to repeal the State prohibition law is an indirect at- tack on the Constitution of the United States by withdrawal of the State’s support from the enforce- ment of prohibition. The committee acted independ- ently of the Antisaloon league and the W. C. T. U., which have an- nounced vigorous opposition to the referendum measure. The Mis- souri Association Against the Pro- hibition Amendment circulated the petitions which put the proposal on the ballots. Says Unions Bankrupt After English Strike Middlesbrough, England, Aug. 12 (By A. P.).—J. Havelock Wilson, president of the Seamen’s Untfon, told a meeting of the men here to- day that nearly every trade union in Great Britain is bankrupt in consequence of the recent general strike. Hundreds of thousands of men, he added, had declared they would pay no more money to their unions. $20,000,000 ESTATE CLAIMED BY CONVICT Pasadena Man, Saying He Is Heir of Lord Dunraven, to Make Legal Fight. Los Angeles, Aug. 12 (By A. P.). Declaring himself to be the right- ful heir to the late Lord Dunraven, internationally known sportsman, author and politician, who died re- cently in London, Daniel Riordan, 62, Pasadena attorney and convict- ed embezzler, is preparing to make a legal. fight for the estate vari- ously estimated at from $20, 008; - 000 to $50,000,000.

WASHINGTON vost: 1.5. MAY SEND DRY AGENTS TO EUROPE. ANDREWS REVEALS! ee ee ee ee Bureau of Foreign Control Will Be Organized at Once. PROHIBITION DIRECTOR SEES ARIDITY COMING Employment of Bielaski Ac- knowledged and Method of Payment Explained. New York, Aug. 12 (By A. P.). Immediate organization of a ‘‘bu- reau of foreign control’’ in the pro- hibition department, to direct the practical application of the prohibi- tion agreement between this country and foreign nations was announced today by Brig. Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews. It is even possible, he acknowl- edged, that the work of this new bureau may entail sending prohibi- tion men to foreign ports. Gen. Andrews ‘who returned last night after reaching an agreement with English statesmen on the liquor smuggling situation, spent this afternoon at the University club in conference with United States Attorney Buckner and an assistant. Later he was scheduled to see Maj. Chester P. Mills, local administra- tor, before leaving for Washington. ‘‘My first work in Washington,” he said, “will be to build up the machinery that will put into practi- cal effect the compacts we now have with Canada, Mexico and the European countries and especially the agreement just consummated with England. I plan to estabiish a new, small bureau of foreign con- trol which will have active super- vision of this work.”’ Asked if this meant that he would have special agents abroad, he re- plied: ‘‘It means the United States will, if there are any. But I expect we can do most of the work through the American consuls.”’ Although he would not disclose details of the agreement with Eng- land, Gen. Andrews was highly elated with the result of his trip. Effective Enforcement. “T belleve we are now on the high road to effective enforcement,”’ he said. Foreign governments are working with us to eliminate smug- gling, and we are making good progress toward the absolute con- trol of the diversion of industrial alcohol. During. his talk with newspaper men Gen. Andrews was asked con- cerning the status of A. Bruce Bielaski, who testified during the trial of members of the Dyer rum ring that he was special agent of Mr. Andrews here, receiving about $1,100 a month. The Dwyer defense pictured Bie- laski as a mysterious ‘‘under cover”’ man and an official investigation of his status resulted in a report by Comptroller General McCarl in Washington that the name of Bi- elaski did not appear on govern- ment rolls. ‘“‘Mr. Bielaski is a secret agent,”’ Gen. Andrews said today. ‘‘That is why there is no record of him. He is not paid $1,100 a month or any other salary. He is paid for what might amount to $20,000 a vear. He is paid out of a fund for the purchase of evidence which Congress provid- ed at my request.”’ Gen. Andrews said that last year there was a $50,000 fund for the purchase of evidence in prohibition cases, but that at his request Con- gress had raised the amount to $250,000 this year. “Why all the uproar about the ‘invisible government of Bielaski’ raised by the Dwyer defense coun- sel?” he asked. ‘‘Do they expect us to get évidence by standing on the street corners?’’ There are oth- er men working like’ Bielaski in other parts of the country. I would be a fool if I did not have them.,”’ GOVERNOR RELENTS: STAYS DEATH OF TRIO Three Accused in Holdup Mur- der Get Eleventh-Hour. Chance to Appeal. Boston, Aug. 12 (By A. P.) With death in the electric chair a} few short hours away three men in the death house of the Charlestown State prison tonight received news that they still had three months to live. At the eleventh hour Gov. Al- van T. Fuller, who previously had refused four times to stay the death sentences of John J. Devereaux, Ed- ward Heinlein and John J. Me- Laughlin, granted the men respite until November 18, that the courts might pronounce on appeals filed by their counsel. They were convicted of the mur- der of James Ferneau, aged night watchman of the Waltham car barn of the Middlesex & Boston Street railway, in a holdup. At: the trial Devereaux admitted that he clubbed the watchman to death while his companions were robbing the office of the car barn. The death sentence was to have been carried out during the present week, and would, have been the sec- ond triple electrocution in the his- tory of Massachusetts. Jury to Investigate Murder of Sheriff St. Clairsville, Ohio, Aug. 12 (By A. P.).—A special session of the Belmont county grand jury was summoned today by Judge Warren Cowen to meet Friday to investigate the slaying of Sheriff Samuel Dun- fee, who was fatally shot last week after he had stopped an automobile loaded with liquor. Two members of the grand jury are clergymen. Three suspects have been under ar- rest since the shooting. Mrs. May Dunfee, widow of the slain officer, who was appointed to complete her husband's term, as- sumed office today. cOLMULA STRONGER THAN GASOLINE FOR ALCOHOL 16 SOUGHT Officials Admit Bootleggers Have Not Been Deterred by Recent Move. HARMLESS SUBSTANCE TO TASTE BAD PLANNED Prohibition Chiefs Confer; Problems Confront Andrews on Return Today. (By the Associated Press.) Something stronger than gaso- line—just what has not been de- termined—is to be put in industrial alcohol in an effort to outwit the resourceful bootlegger. Prohibition officials reached this decision yesterday, and passed on to government chemists the prob- lem of finding an effective denatur- ing process. Whatever is used, it was predicted, probably will smell bad and make the alcohol taste bad, but will be “‘harmless.”’ After a conference with Frank Dow, acting chief of the prohibition forces, and James M. Doran, chief chemist of the prohibition unit, acting Secretary Winston, of the Treasury, admitted that gasoline and other ingredients, put in in- dustrial alcohol to render it unfit fot beverage use, had not proven sufficient deterrents to gratify boot- leggers, and that a new denaturing substance must be found. Problems Confront Andrews. The problem of working out a new and effective formula is one of the many connected with prohibition enforcement, which will confront Assistant Secretary Andrews, chief of the prohibition forces, on his re- turn to Washington today from his mission to London. Andrews has been emphatic in declaring that the government has not sought to treat industrial alco- hol so as to make it deadly if used as a base for bootleg liquor, and it is the intention of prohibition offi- cials to guard against adoption of a denaturing formula that would prove so. Could Not Poison Drinkers. Wood alcohol, gasoline, kerosene and pyridines, officials insist, are now used in such insignificant quantities in denaturing alcohol that they could not poison drinkers even if not eliminated from it. Doran informed Secretary Win- ston yesterday that the recent order to place one-half gallon ‘‘approved gasoline’ in each 100 gallons of in- dustrial alcohol was proving more effective than any of the other de- naturing substances, but that the bootleg g¢hemist was gradually find- ing means to eliminate it. TURMOIL IN RUSSIA IS AGAIN REPORTED Trotsky Asking German Aid, Says One Account; Anti- Soviet Society Blamed. Bucharest, Rumania, Aug. 12 (By A. P.).—Sensational reports con- cerning the situation in soviet Rus- sia are again printed by the Bu- charest newspapers. Leon Trotsky, deposed war min- ister, is said to have ‘‘asked for German military aid,’’ and the so- viet opposition press is pictured as calling on the people to _ rebel against ‘‘the atrocities of Rykoff and Stalin.’’ The papers assert that a new antibolshevism secret organization called the Black Star, was respon- sible for the recently reported in- surrection in Russia. Reports of trouble in soviet Rus- sia have been given official denial in Moscow. The Tass agency, offi- cial news disseminator of the soviet government, in a dispatch to Lon- don on Monday said: ‘‘Reports of M. Stalin’s assassination, military revolts, mobilizations and disturb- ances on the Black sea are absolute nonsense. Everybody laughs at them.’’ FAMED NAVY AIRMEN GOING TO WEST COAST Comdr. Rodgers and- Long- Distance Scout Squadron to Be Based at San Diego. San Diego, Calif., Aug. 12 (By A. P.).—Several of the foremost pilots in the naval air service, including Lieut. Allan Snody, who. will attempt a_ transatlantic nonstop flight with Rene Fonck, noted French ace, on August 20, will be based with the special long distance scouting plane squadron at San Diego during the next ten months, it was learned today. This squadron, commanded by Comdr. John Rodgers, of Hawaiian flight fame, will consist of two new type PN-11 planes, two PN-10’s and possibly the PB-1. . According to information’ re- ceived here, Comdr. Rodgers, who is now at the Philadelphia naval air factory, accompanied by the pilots whom he will select for flight duty, will fly to San Diego from Philadel- phia, either by way of the Panama canal or around South America. About August, 1927, it is planned to attempt another nonstop flight from California to Hawaii, starting from San Diego. _ (By the ihaaninbeh Press.) Navy plans for operation of. the special long-range air squadron un- der Commander John Rodgers have not yet reached a definite stage, it was said here yesterday. It also was said at the office of the acting Naval Secretary that no definite plan was under considera- tion for another attempt at a non- stop flight from the California coast to Honolulu. \ FRIDAY, | ‘Tennessee Governor Given 8,220 Majority Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 12 (By A. P.).—Gov. Austin Peay, who as the chief executive of Tennessee signed the antievolution bill, whose provisions Prof. John T. Scopes was convicted of violating in Rhea county, is renominated for.a third term by a majority of 8,220 votes over Hiil McAlister, State treasurer, by revised tabulations of the com- plete official count. The revision adds 104 votes to Gov. Peay’s ma- jority. Peay received 96,508 yotes and McAlister 88,288, while Dr. John R. Neal, chief defender of Prof. Scopes, who finished third in the guberna- torial count, received about 2,000 votes. DENYING CANDIDACY, WATSON LAUDS TARIFF Tells Farmers That Solution of Their Ills Is Not in Fighting Protective Policy. LEGISLATION FOR SURPLUS Mount Vernon, Ill., Aug. 12 (By A. P.).—Agriculture was warned today by Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana, that it will not find the solution of its ills by turning against the protective tariff. In an address prepared for the annual picnic of the Illinois Agri- cultural association, the senator de- clared that ‘“‘the farmer’s real prob- lem is to maintain the protective tariff for all phases of our industry and to make it effective in its ap- plication to hfs products,”’ He prefaced his address with the assertion that ‘‘I am not a candidate for President and shall not be.” Tracing the faults in the agricul- tural structure, the senator said ex- ports of grain and grain products fell off 19 per cent in 1925. In- creasing cultivation of grain land in Canada and the Argentine was called a further cause of the grain price decline. ‘Notwithstanding all that has been done for the farmer by way of legislation,’’ the senator added, “there is one thing more that needs to be done, and that is to make ar- rangement by legislation to take care of his surplus product.”’ BELGIUM NOW SEEKS REMISSION OF DEBTS Former Service Men Will Launch Campaign in Near Future. Brussels, Belgium, Aug. 12 (By A. P.).—An appeal to the American people to “refuse to collaborate in the ruin of Belgium’’ will be launched at a manifestation being organized for an early date by Bel- gian ex-service men in cooperation with patriotic societies. Belgium’s financial situation is such that parliament last month granted King Albert dictatorial powers during the crisis. The Bel- gian franc has suffered a slump similar to ,the French. It was quoted today in New York at 2.74% cents, aS compared with a normal prewar value of 19.3. Belgium’s debt to the United States has been funded. Betause of her special position as one of the greatest sufferers from the war in- vasion, she pays no interest on her prearmistice debt of $171,780,000. On other loans, totaling $246,000,- 000, she pays, as do the British, over a period of 62 years, with a sliding scale of interest. STEWART PROMISES FARM AID SUPPORT Cummins’ Successor, in First Speech, Says That He Will Fight for Relief. Charokee, Iowa, Aug. 12 (By A. P.).—Iowa farm relief advocates today found reassurance in the [first public speech of David W. Stewart Since ihs appointment to succeed Senator .Albert B. Cummins. The new senator declared he would car- ry on an aggressive fight in the coming session of Congress for agri- cultural legislation satisfactory to the mid West. Speaking before a home coming crowd here, Senator Stewart de- clared: “I deplore sectionalism and prc- vincialism. The great strength of our nation always has been in Its political and economic unity. How- ever, the selfishness and sectional- ism of the industrial and commerc- ial East have made it necessary for this great middle West to de. velop a distinct consciousness as 4 means of protecting and maintair- ing the legislation necessary for the development of our farm, indusiry and commerce. I shall fight witia all that I have to advance, protect and maintain the best interests of Iowa.”’ NEW BOB LONG ONE SIDE, SHORT ON OTHER Ears, Tinted, Are to. Be Worn Out; Nails Will Match the Gown.

STEAGALL IS BELIEVED TO HAVE NOMINATION Patterson and Allgood Held Winners—Close Race in Tenth District. Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 12 (By A. P.).—Bibb Graves, candidate for governor, who told the voters that if he were elected ‘Alabama would not be the tail for the Tam- many tiger’? was leading his near- est opponent, Charles S. McDowell, jr., by 8,377 votes tonight. A count of second choice votes will be necessary, but McDowell's friends concede -that Graves, second choice votes will exceed Mec- Dowell’s. First and second choice votes are combined for each of the two higher candidates in any race when the high man fails to receive a clear majority of-all votes cast. Graves’ campaign was featured by an attack upon the larger news- papers of the State, which he said were seeking to dominate not only State politics but favor Al Smith in his presidential aspiration. He was believed to have received the vote of the Ku Klux Klan. With about 290 precincts miss- ing out of 1,800 the returns gave: Graves, 54,632; McDowell, 51,255; A. H. Carmichael, 50,002; A. G. Patterson, 37,552. Black Well Ahead. Hugo L. Black held a lead of about 20,000 over his nearest oppo- nent, John H,. Bankhead, and was believed to have won the nomina- tor Oscar W. Underwood, term expires March 4, 1927. Representatives in Congress from six districts were unopposed for re- nomination. They are: John Mc- Duffie, First; Lister Hill, Second; Lamar Jeffers, Fourth; W. B. Oli- ver, Sixth; E. B. Almon, Eighth; George Huddleston, Ninth. In the Third district W. B. Stea- gall was believed renominated over J. J. Speight. In the Fifth district L. L. Patterson was leading W. B. Bowling b¥ a narrow margin. M. C. Allgood, incumbent, held a long lead over three opponents in the Seventh and was believed to be re- nominated. In the Tenth W. B. Bankhead and G. W. Benson were running neck and neck, and an official count probably will be re- quired to determine the winner. whose Arkansas Governor Faces Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 12 (By A. P.).—Arkansas Democrats to- night appeared certain to follow the example set by Texas Democrats in refusing to give a governor a pri- mary majority for a second term. With 276 precincts still missing from unofficial tabulations of the Tuesday’s Democratic primary, Gov. Tom K. Terral, who his opponents claim, refused to pardon convicts or permit the parole laws to work was 13,974 votes behind Judge John E. Martineau, of Little Rock, his only opponent. The governor this after- noon, however, refused to concede the nomination of his opponent, who he had charged with intemper- ate use of intoxicants. The vote, unofficially tabulated with 1,733 out of 2,009 precincts in the State, reported, was: Marti- neau, 100,804; Terral, 86,830. Representative J. N. Tillman was running 200 votes behind Karl Greenhaw, of Harrison, in unoffi- cial tabulation of 200 of 281 ‘pre- cincts in the Third Congressional district. Philippines Oppose Land Law Changes Manila, Aug. 12 (By A. P.).— Manuel.

Commerce Chambers In Turkey Are Closed Constantinople, Aug. 12 (By A.

The order of the Turkish govern- ment at Angora for the closing of foreign chambers of commerce was said to. be directed particularly at the American, British, French and Italian chambers. The action came as a considerable shock to American business interests who are at a loss to explain it. The gov- ernment has given‘no reasons for its order as yet.

# CANDY KID" OF GOOD FAMILY, BEGAN LIFE OF CRIMINAL AS BOY Fined $2 for Disorderly Con- duct at the Age of 7; Deserted Navy. MET GANG MEMBERS WHILE AT REFORMATORY Band That Got $1,000,000 in Plunder Now Is All Accounted For. The authorities of three cities vied for the custody of Richard Reese Whittemore when his spec- tacular career of crime was halted at pistol-end early on the morning of March 19. They attributed at least five murders to him and his gang. and innumerable assaults. New York city authorities alone thought they could connect him with enough <‘‘stick-ups,’’ burglaries and “‘hijacking’’ cases to keep him in the. penitentiary for the remain- der of his life. But it came to the question of which city could sive him the death penalty with the least difficulty. The New York city authorities had only the deaths of three mem- bers of his gang in the way of bid- ding for the ‘kid’s’’ neck, while Buffalo had the murders of a bank messenger and his guard. Balti- more, the ‘“kid’s’’ home: town, bid the murder of Holtman, for Which Whittemore finally was hanged. Buffalo was given the first chance at him, though. and failed to convict him. Whittemore’s pals produced alibis and the case resulted in a mistrial. Then the combined police forces, rather than risk a second trial, turned to their Baltimore as- sociates with the plain implication: “Here. you take him and see what vou can do.’ Came of Good Family. Whittemore was the product of those red-brick, white-stooped, row dwellings of Baltimore, a _ type which strikes the Washingtonian with a sense of deadly monotony the minute he enters the city, either by train, interurban, bus or automo- bile. He was born in Hampden, a suburb, in 1902, the son of upstand- ing, God-fearing ‘parents, whose name to this day carries the respect of Baltimore. His mother sang in the choir of a Methodist church, and his father was and is a stationary engineer, though his son’s escapades have left him virtually incapable of carrying on his work for the last several months. The father has told of Dick’s fall from the window at the age of 2 and his landing on his head, and has suggested that this was respon- sible for the subsequent diabolical trend of his son’s mind. If the blow was responsible, its effect was not long in being felt. While still in his early teens, the boy stole the toys of his playmates, fruit from the hucksters and hymn books from the church in which his mother sang. Dick’s sister grew into fine womanhood and is now the wife of a New England State senator. A brother displayed one wayward fling early in life and spent some time at St. Mary’s re- formatory, but he quickly mended his ways and is now the head of @ family, and a hard working citizén of Baltimore. Fined at Age of Seven. Dick at But the age of 7 was $2 for fined $2 “disorderly conduct,”’ and at the age of 15 was in the Maryland State reformatory. Just prior to thig, time he had enlisted in the navy, in 1916, but he was discharged because of, physical dis- ability. When he came out from his first imprisonment he again enlisted in the navy, this time-for service in the world war. He had hardly donned the uniform of a when he was sent mouth disciplinary barracks for lar- ceny. Subsequently released, he was assigned to a ship in New York | harbor, which he forthwith deserted and came back to his Baltimore haunts. It was at this time that he mar- ried Margaret Meshler, who em- braced Dick’s manner of living and subsequently won the sobriquet of police renown, “‘The Tiger Girl.’’ She was a good girl, though, ac- cording to the police. She just leaned toward the glow of the night lights, with the romance and ad- venture it offered her, rather than — the commonplace of family ife. Although she was of the Catholic faith, she married Whittemore in a Methodist church. But accord- ing to the story told by Whitte- more to the New York police, he subsequently accepted her faith. Mother Dies Broken-Hearted. About this time, the boy’s mother died of tuberculosis, her end gen- erally believed to have been hasten- ed by the folly of her son. The “‘Candy Kid,’’ as he came to be known, was still a seoond rater in crime when, in 1920 or there- abouts, he was sent to the Elmira, N. Y., reformatory for robbery. But here there germinated the gang that was later to terrorize Balti- more, New York and Buffalo. He met Tony Paladino, whose crafty mind and fearlessness were objects of admiration for the youth who now was rapidly learning the finer art of crime. As evidence of what Paladino’s tutelage did for him, Whittemore ‘‘pulled a job’’ when he got back to Baltimore which brought him three years in the Maryland penitentiary. Now he was at last out of the re- formatory class—-no mean gradua- tion, in the esteem of the under- world. It was October 16, 1921, when he went to the penitentiary, and there he met the man who was subse- quently to be the master mind of the gang——Leon Kramer. Kramer and his brother, Jake-——the latter with a head full of desperate fear- lessness—were rounding out the end of a 10-year ‘‘stretch.” The two Kramers, of foreign birth, as were most of those of Whittemore’s gang, had introduced **zob”’ i ' | | to the Ports- | ee aoe 5 ee én b. - oe pike a ae - vit ab 6h wa . i a y . poe me me agi Pa c, et £ v" as "THE WASHINGTON POST: FRIDAY.

Dick was released from the pen- itentiary in May,: 1924, receiving time off for good behavior, the Kramers shortly followed him to freedom. The big gang was not yet to be organized, however. Dick plied around Baltimore at the head of roving marauders, the spawn of the water front. On December 6, 1924, Dick, with three companions, stole revenue badges and broke intoa bootlegger'’s | house, stealing 10 gallons of whisky, some money and a fur coat. They also beat the woman occupant of the house into insensibility. A month later, the new year found, him in a raid on a political club. Here the gang pressed the club members into a washroom, trussed them up, gathered up $2,400 and a quantity of booze, and fled to Philadelphia. “Tiger Girl’’ Acquires Name. It was at this juncture that the police blotters first reveal the wife as not only a wife but a camp- follower of the “Kid” in his es- capades. On the night of January 14, 1925, Philadelphia and Baltimore detectives broke into a room for the ‘‘Kid’’ and his gang. With five or six pistols leveled at her head, the girl turned quickly to a chif- fonier, drew out three revolvers, and tossing one to Dick and one to his chief associate, opened fire with the third pistol. Dick and his companion, with the odds against them, refused to open fire and the girl was subdued. She put up such a fight that then and there she came to be known as the ‘Tiger Girl.”’ Dick, a man named Schaefer and the Baltimore hoodlums whom they led were brought back tothat city, and Dick was sentenced to fifteen years on January 25, 19265. Because of his mild and appar- ently subdued mien, the peniten- tiary officials let him go back and forth between the hospital, where he was being treated for a serious disease, and the cells unattended, the various guards merely calling his appearance and departures to the other guards as he moved through the corridors. Killing of Holtman. It was in the course of this rou- tine that the guard, Robert H. Holtman, greeted him February 20, when he came down from the hospital to a corridor on the third story. But the response which the guard received was unexpected. The ‘‘Kid’’ whipped a lead pipe from his shirt and struck him a terrific blow, rendering him un- conscious. Quickly he rifled Holt- man of his keys and sped onward to the next corridor. , En route he encountered a negro trusty and subdued him. Speeding down the three flights of inclosed corridors and through two steel-grated gates he was soon at liberty. It is at this stage that the big gang of terrorists is believed to have organized and embarked upon its campaign which, according to the police, netted more _ than $1,000,000 worth of plunder in less than a year. Leon Kramer’s crafty mind is credited with having de- vised the plans, but there is no questioning Dick’s leadership. It was he who led the gangsters into action. With Jake Kramer, he formed the advanced wave, while the others were placed at strategic points, to kill anyone who inter- vened or who stood in the way. First .of Major Crime Series. The gang is said first to: have swept down on Baltimore, where, on February 24, six’ of them in a racing machine crowded another machine to the curb, shot a mes- senger and his guard and escaped with $16,304. A few days later they struck again in the same city, holding up J. Wahl Holtzman, col- lector for the American Banking Co., and escaping with $8,792 and securitiag, In @ series of depredations in New York the gang got $16,000 and $25,000 in two hauls, and then turned to Buffalo to gather in $80,- 000 worth of jewelry.

After holding up a jew- elry salesman and getting another $25,000 worth of gems, they are said to have jumped to Buffalo for the anticlimax of their career. As three bank guards alighted from a van with $117,000 in cur- rency, two men appeared and shot two of the guards to death and se- riously wounded the third. Sweep- ing up the money, the bandits dropped one bag and ran through the crowd to the corner, where two men were waiting for them in an automobile. This is the crime for which Whittemore later was tried, the result being a mistrial. Two days later Dick settled a lit- tle matter in Baltimore. ‘‘Spike’’ Kenny had been “‘fogling’’ with his wife, so he was called from a road- house the night of October 31 and some lead pumped into his body, but he survived. Last Crime Nets $175,000. The last-known crime, and the one that brought the largest haul, took place in New York a few weeks later, when representatives of a dia- mond house were held up and re- lieved of $175,000 worth of the glittering gems. Whittemore was arrested as he emerged, in dapper array, from a New York night club the morning of’ March 19. His heavy spending and luxurious living generally had brought him to the police’s atten- tion. There was a running pistol fight, but he finally was captured. Of the other members of the gang, Simon Gilden and Tony Pala- dino mét death at various times, seemingly in brawls over the divisi- on of spoils. Langrella, who be- friended the ‘‘Kid,”’ was found dead in New York, too, after a visit to the gang. The Eee “Shuffles’’ Gold- berg, William G. Unkelbach, Charles M.

By now the crowds which had gathered earlier in itie evening had dispersed. For 30 minutes thea party milled about in the reception chamber, some of the members apparently frequent visi- tors to hangings, and they renewed acquaintances light-heartedly. One man was pu: out for being drunk. FROM PAGE 1.) Accompanied by Chaplain. Promptly at midnight a guard led the party in single file down a narrow @ight of winding stairs. It was stifling hot. After several hundred feet the party entered into a court and walked briskly across it for a distance of approximately two blocks. Then they were hud- | dled in the death chamber. Four {men in shirt sleeves stood, on the balcony, nervously watching. the door which opened onto it. A rope dangled loosely from the ceiling into a noose over the trap door, its other end running through a hole in the whitewashed wall behind which the executioner sat, unidenti- fled, in his grim seat. Hardly had the _ party been pressed into the chamber before the door opened and Whittemore ap- peared. Chaplain Charles S. Biggs and two stalwart guards accompa- nied him. He was placed quickly on the trap door, retaining that sickly smile all the while. The at- tendants moved toward him quick- ly, but they were so ‘nervous that they fumbled in placing the noose about his neck, fashioning it so that the. knot lay on the nape of his neck. They fumbled, too, in plac- ing the black hood over his face. Then the condemned man was but a black bundle, immobile under the glistening lights. Whittemore Is Hanged. As one attendant kept his hand on the Kid’s shoulder the other stepped back and threw up his hands. Two seconds, perhaps three, and there was a thud, followed quickly by another one as the boy’s body jerked at the end of the taut rope. No one in the chamber moved. Those on the balcony disappeared. The body was left there dangling aimlessly for ten minutes and then Dr. Powers went to it with his stethoscopes. He made a thorough examination and five minutes later pronounced the Kid dead. Then the body was cut down, the shaw! and hood and bindings removed. The body of the Kid was placed in a wicker basket, there to remain till later today when it will be claimed. As newspaper men rushed from the building for their waiting wires another crowd had gathered. There were questions from_ shifty-eyed men: ‘Did he die game?’’ Well, he died in what has come to be known as game. Alone in Last Hours. Whittemore spent the last sev- eral hours of his life alone. His wife, her widow's weeds already purchased, bade him an anguished good-by in the afternoon. The “‘Kids’s’’ broken-hearted father, his brother, Rawlings V. Whittemore, jr., and his sister-in-law, Mrs. R. V. Whittemore, jr., accompanied her. There seemed to be nothing of af- fected bravado as Dick urged them to remain calm.. ‘“‘Com¢ on now, Chickie,’’ he urged his young wife, “be brave.’ His last concern was mostly for his mate, the ‘Tiger Girl,” who, even as she came from the” penitentiary, had reyenge and hate in her heart. ‘*‘They are going to hang him, be- cause he is Dick,’’ she sobbed. “They could keep him in there for life—why don’t they bring out those real desperate murderers and hang them. Poor Dick.”’ | That quiet grief which tears at resulted from a‘ quarrel over pay-’ the heart was the elder more’s feeling. A convulsive sob now and then escaped his lips, but for the most part his emotions were expressed: within. This was a grief Whitte- OA GOV RITCHIE POST nters Maryland G..0. P.

Fenning with violating the parking regula- tions is still reposing in a desk at the Third precinct station. . Capt. Ira Sheetz, commander of that precinct, says that the warrant will be served on Mr. Fenning as soon as Policeman Orville Staples returns from sick leave. It was Staples who swore out the warrant after he says he found the Fenning automobile parked nearer. than 3 feet to another machine and block- ing a driveway. Convict Second Man In Holdup Slaying Kansas City, Aug. 12 (By A. P.). Carl Benson, former convict of St. Louis, today was found guilty by a circuit court jury of complicity in the slaying of Harry T. McConnell, employe of the Fred Harvey sys- tem, here last May 8. He was sen- tenced to life imprisonment. Benson was the second man tried for the shooting of McConnell, which the police asserted occurred during an attempted holdup. Mil- lard Abel was found guilty and sen- tenced to hang. which the Kid could hardly be ex- pected to understand. Thus for the father he had little concern. Stripped of Possessions. Shortly after their departure pen- itentiary attendants came and took the last of the Kid’s earthly pos- sessions——his money and clothing —all save that which he wore on his back. This ominous note of ap- proaching death left him still un- moved. He absorbed himself throughout the day-in a magazine of red-blooded adventure. It was prosaic reading, compared to his checkered career, but it served to occupy his mind in the ebbing hours of his life. Spiritual advisers, a Catholic and Protestant clergyman, came occa- sionally to his cell, but got only a polite tolerance for their reward. As night fell over the grim prison walls, hardly more than ten blocks from the heart of the city, hundreds of children played gleefully across the street. Motorists out for relier from the heat rode around the high walls, patrolled by armed guards in uniform. Young women of the neighborhood, chewing gum and free in the use of cosmetics, strolled leisurely about with their swains. Boys and girls in the earliest teens dodged traffic and shouted gleefully, ‘“‘He ain’t got but a few hours to live.’’ Traffic Kept Block Away. Later in the evening some 100 policemen in uniform and in plain clothes surrounded the penitentiary and kept traffic a block away. There had been rumors and reports thata strong armed contingent of New York’s gangland was to seek a re- lease. More than two score newspaper- men representing all of the metro- politan dailies were on hand, and telegraphic facilities were set up in Bannion’s new beer saloon just across the street. At 8 o’clock the Kid ate heartily of an especially, prepared meal of strongly Italian Wavor. He asked for wine, reminis@ent of the sweet cup of life which he tasted in New York’s night life. This was denied. His spiritual advisors visited him again at night, but there was no outward show of repentance from the Kid, though their mere visit must have done him good, this late in his life. ' As the night wore on it seemed that all the children in the neigh- borhood and other neighborhoods had been turned out for the night and the occasion. Their stout ‘+ posomed mothers squatted on the. white steps of their red bricked dwellings. It was a great holiday for the children. They cavorted' gaily, screaming and yelling delight as they played. An ice cream vender reaped a harvest. It was as if the city had just realized that its bad boy was back from the big city and had turned out to give him a} homecoming celebration. As the lights were turned out in the heavily guarded penitentiary, the notes of ‘“‘Sleep Time Girl’’ and “All Alone” wafted through the in-} ner steel grating that separates the compartments and out to Whitte- more alone in the death cell. The latter piece as it was played sound- ed like the groan of a coyote on the Mexican border. | ul CLEARANCE COMPLETE — Women’s and Misses’ Knitted, Suits Women’s and Misses’ Knitted ‘Suits Women’s and Misses’ Knitted Suits Women’s and Misses’ Knitted Suits Women’s and Misses’ Silk Beach Suits... .

Berlin, Aug. 12.—Reports cir- culating here today that the Reichs- bank was willing to assist the French government in stabilizing the franc were characterized as nonsensical. The Reichsbank has no desire to do anything of the kind; it was declared. However, if France contemplated floating an international loan for the purpose, it is not believed that private financiers would be hostile. In connection with these reports it is said Germany contemplates re- covery of the Saar area by buying out the French. The German gov- ernment is aware that France has abandoned every expectation that the Saar plebiscite in 1935 will go against Germany. The coal mines belong to France under the treaty of Versailles, but if Germany bought them then there would be no rea- son why the whole Saar area should not be incorporated into German territory.

P.). --Favorable weather in most of the forest areas of the far North- west aided firefighters materially today in checking the flames which have been eating through valuable timber for several weeks. The most menacing fire was dur- ing tonight in the Clearwater for- est, where each gust of wind seat- ters the flames and starts innumer.- able spot fires. Four of the largest fires on the Kaniksu reserve now are under control, but it will require an ad- ditional hundred miles of trench to } hold all the flames on that forest. \ ee ys { gyib.

Friday, August 13, 1926. THE PRELIMINARY BUDGET. According to reports from White Pine camp, the preliminary budget for the fiscal year end- ing June 30, 1928, fixed by the President, is approximately $3,270,000,000, which is about $55,000,000 in excess of ordinary expenditures for this fiscal year, exclusive of the Postoffice Department. The excess of this year is accounted for by last-minute legislation by Congress appropriat- ing $36,000,000 for pensioas of civil war and Spanish war veterans, $18,000,000 additional funds for the veterans’ bureau, $16,000,000 additional for the first time payments to the Federal retirement fund, and $5,000,000 for schools and construction in the District of Columbia. But this new burden of $75,000,000 was cut some $20,000,000 by the reduction of operating expenses in several departments. It is estimated that the Treasury surplus on July 1 next will not exceed $150,000,000 which the Treasury considers altogether too small to admit of any further tax reduction. The maximum limit for public expenditures during the next fiscal year do not include per- manent and indefinite charges on the Treasury, such as interest on the public debt, sinking fund and other retirement funds, and ordinary permanent and indefinite expenditures, which this fiscal year amount to more than $1,337,- 000,000. TRUST COMPANIES AS GUARDIANS. Published accounts of an order recently issued to guardianship officers of the veterans’ bureau to conduct a national check-up of the manner in which trust companies are carrying out their work as guardians has centered inter- est on the method evolved for handling such Fanscn. Readjustment of the machinery of the bureau for the protection of mentally incom- petent veterans is gradually taking place. The survey to be undertaken is not expected to show any widespread improper practices, but is to be utilized merely to guide the future course of Officials of the bureau. In the future, the bureau announces, trust companies will be made the basis of the entire guardianship structure, and no individual will be permitted to undertake the care of more than five wards. Since this restriction -will not apply to trust companies, it is expected that it will serve to discourage the appointment of individuals as guardians, for such guardianship is profitable only in wholesale lots. Further- more, whenever possible, favor will be shown to trust companies in making new appoint- ments. Every effort is being made to encourage, on the part of trust companies, creation and ex- tension of facilities for personal contact with their wards. In some cases, it is pointed out, this is being done by trust officers, in others by some established welfare agency. The new arrangements seem to be well planned. As business institutions, one of whose functions it is to act in the capacity of guardian of indi- viduals, it will probably be found that the trust companies will administer the estates of veterans in a highly satisfactory manner. BRITISH MINERS RECALCITRANT, The rejection by the British miners of the churchmen’s peace plan for a settlement of the coal strike is a direct rebuff to their leaders, who had recommended its adoption. It is a heavy blow, in particular, to Herbert Smith, » their president, and to Arthur J. Cook, their secretary, for among the districts that turned down the proposal are Smith’s county of York- shire and Cook’s county of Lancashire. The vote was 333,036 for and 367,650 against, the majority against thus being 34,614. Scotland declined to vote either way. All the districts of England and Wales appear to have been in favor of the church proposition, except York- shire, Lancashire, Cheshire, Cumberland, and the Forest of .Dean. The Forest of Dean, ly- ing between the Severn and the Wye, is in Gloucestershire, and therefore belongs to the West county, but all the other opposing sec- tions are in the North, which, by its vote, has once more demonstrated its unyielding fixity of purpose and the grim ‘tenacity with which it clings to any cause it takes up. The strike is now 104 days old, and its settlement seems to be as far off as ever, for the operators had already refused to consider the churchmen’s plan, and Prime Minister Baldwin had rejected it, because its acceptance by him would mean another subsidy, which he was not prepared to recommend. The Daily Herald, the official British labor _ organ, assigns three reasons for the miners’ vote: 1, their suspicion of ‘‘class bias’ in the Church of England; 2, their objection to com- pulsory outside arbitration on wages; 3, their feeling that, as Premier Baldwin had negatived, with some emphasis,’ the churchmen’s plea, there was no earthly use in their accepting it. None of these reasons appear to hold water, with the doubtful exception of the second. .There is more point to the allegation, made in other quarters, that Cook’s erstwhile ‘Never, primary, the heart and soul o Brahe *. lit . ’ ~ never” stand and his famous slogan, ‘‘Not a penny off the pay, not a minute. on the day,’ had so obsessed the miners that the ideas they generated could not be dislodged from their minds. He found; in fact, as so many others have found before him, that having once un- leashed the dogs of war, he could not whistle them back at will. Yet another reason for the outcome of the balloting is, perhaps, to be seen in the anticipated success of the mission of the influential British delegation, which is now in this gountry for the purpose of collect- ing funds in aid of the miners on strike. In at least some labor circles in Britain, the miners are held to have been guilty of a tactical blunder in voting as they did. It is generally believed that, had the result of the ballot been different, highly placed personages .in_ the Church of England and leaders of thought in various Nonconformist bodies would have made a stirring appeal to the country on behalf of, the miners and against the operators and the administration alike. Such an appeal could not fail to make a sensation and, conceivpbly, would have'stirred public opinion to its depths. ‘ It was, however, otherwise decreed. issue is now in the lap of the gods. comedy element is not wanting. ment made by Cook, he says: decision of the men.’’ The The In a state- ‘“‘We accept the In heaven’s name, what else could he do, unless resign? ILLINOIS PRIMARY LAW INVALID. The unanimous decision of three Illinois cir- cuit court judges that the primary law of that State, under which senatorial candidates re- cently were nominated, is invalid and in viola- tion of the constitution, creates a situation that will be watehed with great interest through- out the country. A former primary law was held to be un- constitutional by the supreme court of Illinois and the present law was enacted in 1910 ata special session of the legislature called for that purpose. Since then all candidates for public office have been nominated under its provisions. The court which has just held this law uncon- stitutional based its opinion upon the holdings of the supreme court of the State in the earlier cases. Legal reasons assigned are:immaterial. The question uppermost naturally is what effect such a decision will‘have upon the poli- tical fortunes of the gentlemen of both parties nominated for office under the, repudiated primary law. Upon this point there is a diver- gence of opinion among Illinois lawyers and politicians, but the consensus appears to be that if the court of last resort should uphold the three circuit judges before election day a serious situation would be created. If the lower court is sustained at a later date the elec- tion of officials nominated under the primary law could not be attacked because public policy would not justify a challenge of their right to hold office. The supreme court of Illinois is now in re- cess and will not reconvene until October. It has a heavy docket before it, and this case could not be reached at an unusually early day, it is said, even if expedited. By that time the election will have been held and certificates of election given to successful candidates. The primary law, however, may be torn to pieces, and future action undertt prohibited. Nomina- tion by primaries in Illinois would be set aside; then would come political conventions, a res- toration of party government, and reelection of candidates responsible to the -parties which name them. JOHNSON, OF WASHINGTON. Representative Albert Johnson, of the Third Washington district, because of his successful fight to tighten up immigration restrictions and give to Americans a better measure of their rightful heritage, now finds himself the vic- tim of a three-cornered primary contest that looks much like a plot of enemies of America’s immigration policy to strike down its cham- pion. The people of the United States owe a debt ot gratitude to Albert Johnson. As chairman of the committee on immigration he went abroad at his own expense, studied the immi- gration question, returned to the States con- vinced the yearly tide must be stemmed, and was instrumental in compelling enactment of legislation placing immigration upon a rational] basis and preventing the entrance of those who would not make desirable citizens. This wise legislation has kept outside our country the hordes of aliens that, under other’ conditions, would have depressed the wages of American workmen and debauched the national spirit. Every element in America’s social structure has benefited through the efforts of the chair- man of the immigration committee and his re- fusal to lend a sympathetic ear to those whose personal interests would have been served through a continuance of unrestricted immi- gration. bg Reports from the Western State indicate that" this three-cornered fight against Mr. Johnson has been engineered by those who are anxious to let down the bars and flood the country with undesirables who never would become law abid- ing and producing citizens. With such a con- dition the return of Mr. Johnson is put in jeopardy and, if he should be feated in the the movement to regulate and restrict immigration will no longer have a voice in Congress. The Third district of Washington, by defeating Chairman ‘Johnson for renomination, would be extending encouragement to the foreign revolutionary element, the Russian reds and their ilk, that has brought so much trouble, bloodshed and destruction of property to the people of the State’of Washington in times past, and which is extending its influence for evil in every State in the Union. THE RIGHT SPIRIT, - In recognition of his work in aerial polar navigation, Lincoln Ellsworth has recently been made an honorary member of the Aerial League of America, and has been presented with an honorary membership card bearing the signa- ture of Robert E. Peary as founder and first president of the organization. The card is one of twenty actually signed by the late explorer. In a letter acknowledging its receipt, Mr. Ells- worth wrote: “It was significant of the great- ness of the man that Peary, himself, whose attainment of the north pole closed the chapter of that romantic history of arctic conquest by men using ships and dogs as a means of trans- port, should have been the first, as far as I know, to foresee the possibilities of aerial ex- ploration in the arctic * * * But in ages to come the conquest of the north pole by Robert E. Peary will ever remain a monument to a - “4 - ‘ ay — ————— heroic effort * * * The world needs such heroes. the salt of youth comes the iron of mature manhood.” of his few rivals for the honor that comes from accomplishment of similar unusual undertak- ings! Unwittingly Ellsworth has thrown a searchlight on his own character. Unassum- ing, gracious, giving credit where due, he is a true American of whom all may be proud. TRACTORS, PLOWS AND MOWERS. Of a total production of farm equipment valued at $383,736,736 which the manufac- turers in the United States turned out of their plants in 1925 there were exported imple- ments and machinery aggregating in value $64,934,212. The largest items were farm tractors and engines, the aggregate value of which was $27,537,859. There is a growing foreign demand for trac- tors and tractor engines. The shipments of these in 1925 were nearly 70 per cent greater than in 1924, and just about double those of the preceding year. Next to tractors the greatest demand was for harvesting machin- ery, plows, machines for preparing crops for use, and mowers and rakes. In almost every item of aids to agriculture the American pro- ducer finds a_ steadily growing market throughout the world. In spite of the depression in some icul- tural regions in this country the sales farm machinery were decidedly greater in 1925 ,than during the preceding year. There have been pronounced increases from year to year since 1922 in the production of corn binders, milking machine units, and windmills, ‘and since 1923 in the production of house water- supply systems. BRANCH BANKING. One of the important bills left over after adjournment of Congress because of differ- ences of opinion in the two houses is the so- called McFadden bill, amending the national bank laws touching branch banking. Repre- sentative McFadden, chairman of the House banking committee, has written the national bankers of the country asking them to inform members of Congress of their wishes in con- nection with the so-called Hull amendments to the McFadden banking bill. Mr. McFadden writes: . The proposed legislation is in the inter- est not only of the national banks, but it is a matter of serious concern to the busi- ness interests of the United States, be- cause if the bill does not become a law the surest foundation of the Federal Reserve system will be weakened by the conver- sion of many national banks into State banks. The bill failed because of a disagreement between the two houses over branch banking. The so-called Hull amendments, eliminated by the Senate, prohibited national banks from branch banking in States not now permitting branch banking by State banks; the argument being made that national banks will not agitate for branch banking in those States, in order to keep State banks from having a privilege which the Hull amendments deny to national banks. There are now 27 antibranch-bank- ing States. Under the House plan, 299 nonmember and State member banks with branches will be pro- hibited from becoming national banks. Under the Senate plan, these banks are invited to cease their State-wide branch banking and be- come national banks. Under the compromise plan, branch banking by national banks is permitted in the 22 States permitting branch banking in cities of 100,- 000 population and over. Six of the 22 States are eliminated because they have no cities with 100,000 population or over. Both the Secretary of the Treasury and the comptroller of the eurrency announce they do not. see the necessity of the so-called Hull amendments; and favor the’ compromise plan with the. Hull amendments eliminated. Touching the McFadden bill, the comptroller of the ‘currency in his 1925 annual says: report The enactment of the provision above teferred to (branch banking limited) would have a strong tendency toward ‘restoring the equilibrium between the State and national banks within the Fed- eral Reserve system in branch banking territory, and would undaubtedly have the further effect of preserving the stability and permanence of the Federal Reserve system itself. Chairman McFadden wishes the national bankers themselves to express their opinion, so that the next Congress may be guided in its course. No complaint can be made of the purchas- ing power of a dollar down. ce | ‘The Worst Story I Heard ! Today—By Will Rogers The Worst Story I heard today was one of the best stories I heard. Bird’s name, for then we would have to make the story shorter. A very well and -hard-to-do Scotchman had a son whose only ambition was to see London.

So the old Man thought that was not a bad investment, so he gave.the boy 50 pounds and the Dog and started him to London. Well, the boy had a great time in London, but the money was running short. Then he bad a bright idea, so he wrote his father, ‘‘Bob- by” (that was the fleahound’s mame, named after, of course, Bobby Burns.) ‘‘Bobby now speaks English fluently. But he is so good a pupil and so bright that the professor wants to teach him French. The fee, is, of course, 50 pounds more. The professor claims there is only one other dog inthe world that ‘can speak two languages, so thinks it’s a great chance. Wire 50 at once.”’ The Scotchman fell. that Ifke Gofigress through an appropriation, and thought of Italian. But the old Scotchman wouldn’t fall for Italian. So the boy had to bring the mongrel home. He didn’t know what to do. Then an idea hit him:. He shot the dog. The Father met him at the station and said, ‘‘Where is Bobby?” $o the boy had to tell him the following. “Wather, as we neared old Scotland I was thinking of. you and Mother and how good it was to get home, and Bobby up and says, ‘Do you know what your Father is doing now?

Tr! Clar Ana Clarendon. Va The efforts of the Richard Byrd Boulevard association to obtain a right of way along the straight-to- the bridge route has the approval of Dr. Samuel M. Johnson, director of the Lee Highway, association, ac cording to the statement of Arthur Orr. president of the straight-to-the- bridge organizaion, in a_ letter which he sent vesterday to william L. Bragg, chairman of the Virginia regional development commission. The letter was given to Mr. Bragg prior to a tour of inspection of the | proposed route by the commission. Mr. Orr quoted a paragraph from a letter recently addressed to him by Dr. Johnson as follows: “We believe that the. time has come for the citizens of Arlington county to formulate a highway pro- gram adequate to meet the needs of a rapidly growing part of Wash- ington. This will include the wid- enirg of the right of way of a num- ber of roads. and our organization considers a right of wav 100 feet wide should be obtained from Falls Church along Memorial road through Ballston and Clarendon to connect with the Lee boulevard at Porter woods.’ “The Richard Byrd Boulevard association.”’ declares Mr. Orr in his letter to Mr. Bragg, “is devoting itself to the task of obtaining the right of way which Dr. Johnson emphasizes as being of immediate vital importance to the welfare of Arlington county.” That the Straighbt-to-the-Bridze organization is not opposing the southerly route for the Lee boule- vard is clearly indicated by Mr. Orr, who declares in his letter to Mr. Bragg that it*’is not the desire of his organization, ‘‘to have you consider the straight-to-the-bridge route with any reference to its suitability as a right of way’ for Lee boulevard. Our only purpose is to develop a highway approach to the Memorial bridge at fhe one end and an outlet to the State highway at the other, which the present eco- nomic requirementsofthe Clarendon and Ballston sections necessitates and which will facilitate the proper boulevard and highway develop- ment of the metropolitan area of Greater Washington.”’ The other members of the Vir- ginia commission making the tour of inspection were State Senator Frank L. Ball, of Arlington county, and H. Earlston Hanes, of Fairfax county: Maj. Carey Brown, of the National.Capital park and planning commission. About 40 citizens of Arlington county and Falls Church accompanied them. The Lamond Brick & Tile Cor- poration of Arlington county, own- ed by C. Clyde Lamond and located between the town of Potomac and Alexandria, was sold yesterday to the West Brothers Brick Co., of South Washington, Arlington coun- ty. The purchase of the plant also included all the leases of the clay banks of the Richmond, Fredericks- burg & Potomac railroad adjacent to the plant, controlled by Mr. La- mond. The consideration was not given. Mr. Lamond announces that he will continue to operate the Poto- mac clay works. It is understood that the West brick works will con- tinue to manufacture tile at their new plant. Tomorrow will be the last day for taxpayers of Arlington county to file their State tax returns. Persons failing to make their returns will be penalized by the State examiner of records. It is estimated by Com- missioner Green that 3,000 taxpay- ers have not complied with the law. The commissioner’s office will be open until 10 o’clock tomorrow night with an additional force of clerks to. assist person? in filing their returns. The women members of the Klu Klux Klan of Fairfax county held an open air naturalization ceremony last night at Merryfield. Large del- egations of men and women mem- bers from Potomac and Ballston of Arlington attended. Suits for divorce were filed in the office of the clerk of the court yes- terday by Savella M. Mais against Wilmer H. Mais, Bertha Grinim Jef- fers against Henry Alston Jeffers and Lellia Treeman against Llew- ellyn Freeman, all of Which were on charges of desertion. The Arlington-Fairfax.

Seeks Right A Washington beauty shop. has ‘appealed to Immigration Commis- sioner Thomas B. R. Mudd. at Bal- timore, to.permit importation of .a foreign tonsortal artist who could properly manipulate ‘“‘Milady’s locks.”’ The shop, said to be an exclusive one with a fashionable clientele, sets forth that American barbers hate not the soul‘or the artistic ap- preciation required to really make the coiffufe a thing of beauty. An attractive bob on a diplomat’s wife may ease the way for impor- tant international events, and the dainty marcel of a departmental clerk may win the clerk favor and promotion. Then. too, there are many ladies from foreign lands in Washington, who are always telling of the artistic results obtained by tonsorial artists abroad. In detperation the beauty shop— it is called a “shoppe’’ to give it an air 6f distinction—-appealed to the! ‘*a male | commissioner to import ladies’ hair hobber and permanent | wave expert.”’ The commissioner was sympa- thetic and also adamant. The La- bor Department regulations prohib- it importation of such an expert unless it can be conclusively proved that. no such person can be found in this country. He promised to in- stitute a search throughout the country for such a person and, if he was unobtainable, to lay the matter before the Secretary of La- bor. Until the investigation is com- pieted and a decision is rendered the commissioner’s office refuses to divulge the name of the ‘“‘shoppe”’ which requires such an ‘‘artiste.” REFUSES T0 ACCUSE - Coroner’ S bare Is Silent as to Who Killed Farmer; Wife Still Held. Richmond, Aug. 12 (By A. P.).— Because of her physical condition Mrs. Lula Belcher, charged with the slaying of her 78-year-old husband, | J. C. Belcher, at their home in Ches- j terfield county, last Friday, has been removed from the city jail to a po- lice station under the care of police matrons. Today she was said to be recovering her strength and spirits, and was no longer confined to bed. At a coroner’s inquest at Peters- burg, last night, no one was accused of the responsibility for the death of the semi-invalid farmer-store- keeper. The verdict was that his death came as a result of gunshot wounds inflicted by party or parties unknown, The widow did not tes- tify. Commonwealths Attorney Mac- Coghill, of Chesterfield, stated at the inquest that $10,000 bail would be required for Mrs. Belcher’s release, pending preliminary hearing. This hearing had not been set today. Wants Prisoner Freed For Child’s Funeral Special to The Washington Post. Clarksburg, W.

P.).— Prohibition was blamed as the font from which murder, bribery and gang war terrorism have sprung to produce an “almost hopeless situa- tion’”’ in Chicago in dealing with gang murders in a statement to- night by Morgan Collins, chief of police. He added that while the police department tried to prevent all murders, society was hurt least when a gangster was killed. Prohibition, he said, is victually impossible of enforcement here, partly. because reputable citizens who will not stoop to bootlegging yet will patronize gangster boot- leggers, thus causing the _ illicit liquor dealers to weld strong or- ganizations into which they bring many hitherto honest citizens as aids. Meanwhile the police were at- tempting to determine whether John Sbarbaro, assistant state’s at- torney, may have been the target when gunmen invaded Michigan avenue a couple of days ago and fired several shots. Sbarbaro was only a short dis- tance away and the police want to know whether the gangsters at- tempted to kill Sbarbaro as they killed William McSwiggin, another assistant state’s attorney, a few months ago. Sbarbaro has denied, however, that he was the target. Gangdom’s leaders were in hid- ing today, not from police who sought to arrest them to prevent reprisals for the killing Tuesday night of Louis Smith, feudal cap- tain, but from the new battle which police forecast Smith's slay- ing will provoke.

If a healthy man be ex- posed to the same degree of heat for the same length of time he will not be cooked, nor will he be harmed in any way. The reason is, a man sweats; a steak does not. An ability to sweat is the most important factor which prevents the man from cooking, but it is not the only one. If the steak be cooked in a covered vessel the heat re- quired will be lessened. The man can not stand 250 degrees of heat if he is covered with a blanket of clothing. The man breathes in cooler air which helps him to keep his temperature down. A steak can not breathe. Neither has it a heart and blood vessels to move the blood stream from place Place as the need ie.

With rugs and chairs and portieres And pretty things T filled it, And then said I, from year to year My loved ones should be happy here. } But I was one to roam. And I was one to wander. I could not stay with them to play. Fame called to me off yonder, And so I left them there alone To follow wishes of my own. Thought I they must be glad With all that I've supplied them, No joy they miss which makes for bliss, There’s naught that I've denied them. But oft when I’d come home from town IT heard them righ and saw them frown. Then once they said to me: “Oh, ean’t you guess our sorrow? From rugs and chairs and portieres No pleasure can we borrow. . ‘Tis you we need from day to day, There is no joy with you away.”’ And so I set it down—— The home that man is keeping, Unless he shares its joys and cares Is only fit for weeping.

Where the dog could stand increased ma- terfally if the hot air was stirred up by fans, especially if the air was dry. If the air was moist and evap- oration from the dog was poor, the animal speedily succumted. It is evaporation that makes it possible to stand high temperatures, and air currents help by aiding evapora- tion. If, however, the dog was not given enough water to drink, evap- oration eventually harmed him. Unless the dog was given enough drinking water it was better not to promote evaporation. Applying this to man: A man can stand a great deal of heat, pro- to | vided he can sweat very freely and the sweat evaporate. and provided he can get plenty of drinking water. 'A man loses water equal 5 per cent of his body weight on a 'summer’s day in the 24 hours. If he works hard, this may amount to -about 8 per cent. A man needs about 3 pints of water daily for the usual purposes, but if he loses heavily from sweating in hot weather he needs up to 6 quarts a day. If a man loses water equal to one-tenth of his weight he begins to get into a dangerous condition. Exposure to moist air does not help much, because not much sweat can evaporate. If a cubic yard of air contains 75 grains of water it will pick up sweat twice as fast as will air containing 135 grains of water. When man is ex- posed to 122 degrees of heat and the air around him moves 224 feet per minute his temperature will go up less than one degree in one hour. If the air movement stops, his tem- perature will shoot up very rapidly. If the heat is great enough to cause a loss of power of heat regulation. the temperature sometimes drops (chill due to heat prostration). and it sometimes goes very high (sun- | Stroke). Where fainting occurs the | cause is lack of blood in the brain because the skin blood vessels are overfilled. Where death occurs the heart has not ‘been equal to the task of keeping enough blood in the irene organs. The everyday meaning of all this is as follows: In very hot weather —_ fans freely and drink plenty of ater. Wear as few clothes as the ‘a will allow, and let | Hehe in weight and very porous.

It’s not a question of birth or breeding. The debutante in social life and the debutante in business life may be equally well born and bred.

rg7 HERS 1K STE ATTORNEY TO HL - WEEE INU Want Official to Head Investi- gation Into Company That Brought 85 Failures. BUSINESS METHODS HELD UNBELIEVABLE Offer Serviges in Protecting) Public and Punishing the Guilty Members. Atlanta, Aug. 12 (By A. P.).— eclaring that the closing of 83 ‘banks in Georgia following a suit. for receivership of the Bankers Trust Co., of Atlanta, fiscal agents for these banks “has sclosed amazing and unbelievable condi- tions which have heretofore been unknown to this association,’’ thé *executive council of the Georgia Bankers association at a meeting here today adopted resolutions peti- , tioning Gov. Clifford Walker ‘‘to + ‘direct the attorney general to par- ticipate in the proposed investiga- tion and to employ other agencies at its command for the protection of the public and the punishment of violators of the law.”’ In the resolutions the Georgia Bankers association ‘tendered ‘‘its service to the authorities, State and Federal, in the investigation and prosecution of those persons who @may be found to have been respon- sible for the conditions’ that brought about these failures.’’ Willing to Help. It was further said that the of- ficers of the bankers’ association “are empowered, in their discretion } and upon the request of proper au- thorities, to retain counsel to assist in such investigations or prosecu- tions.’’ “The practices disclosed by the failure of these banks have shocked the bankers of our State, who con- demn the unsound banking methods employed in the operation of this chain of institutions,’’ the resolu- tion said. They further pointed out that the Bankers Trust Co. of At- lanta, fiscal agent for the 83 closed banks, was “‘a nonbanking corpora- tion, not under the supervision of the State banking department.”’ “Such a banking calamity ought to have been impossible under the laws of our State,” the resolution declared, ‘‘and especially at a time when agricultural and business con- ditions are more sound in Georgia than in the past five years.”’ Campaign Committee Will Boost H.

These men worked in a temperature of 22 degrees, which is 10 degrees be- low freezing. They were attired in heavy sweaters. The hottest persons in the city were eight men employed in the ash pit at the Benning power plant of the Potomac Electric Power Co. Their job is to shovet the ashes from beneath | the boilers, and they did it in a emperature of 140 degrees. What they wore is nobody's busi- ness. CAPITAL IS HOTTEST OF EASTERN CITIES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) _ ily without water service. This condition constitutes a_i serious menace and only through the co- operation of all residents can it be remedied.’”’ In these words the District com- missioners yesterday warned the city that a water famine threatens because of the unprecedented con- sumption due to the heat wave. As a remedy they asked water users to restric nonessential use of water, such as lawn sprinkling, to one hour a day. For 24 hours ended at 8 a. m. yesterday the water consumption reached 85,500,000 gallons, break- ing all records. Too Much for Water Pumps. The pumps of the water system cannot supply this much water daily, according to-Supt. J. S. Gar- land, of the water department. He said: “Inability of the pumps to keep pace with this consumption has caused lowering of the level in the reservoir, thereby decreasing the available water pressure through- out the higher elevation served by the Reno reservoir. “Tf the residents in Ahis area do not waste water the situation will be relieved generally, especially if the use for lawn sprinkling is cur- tailed.’’ Mr. Garland wrote a manifesto for the commissioners to sign, ask- ing water users to economize. The commissioners promulgated it. Its text is as follows: “During the _ protracted hot weather experienced the last few days, consumption of water has reached such a point ag to exceed the capacity of the water depart- ment pumping equipment, with the result that certain of the higher sections of the District have been temporarily without water service. “This condition constitutes a se- rious menace, and only through co- operation of all residents can it be remedied. Residents are urged to restrict use of water during the pe- riods allowed for sprinkling lawns, that is, 5 a. m. to 8 a. m. and 5 p. m. to 8 p. m., to one hour only until the emergency -is passed.”’ The neighborhoods said to have already experienced shortage . of water are Chevy Chase, Tenley- town, Saul’s Addition, Petworth, Brightwood, Takoma Park, part of Cleveland Park and sections adja- cent to Wisconsin avenue northwest as far south as Mount Alto hospi- tal. Firms Dismiss Employes. In addition to the government de- partments, many private firms al- lowed their employes to leave work early yesterday. The Potomac Elec- tric Power Co. dismissed its entire clerical foree at 3 o’clock, two hours before the uwu8ual quitting time. The only large government de- partments that failed to close were the Interior Department, the vet- erans’ pureau and the government printing office. W. B. Acker, chief clerk of the Interlor Department, jsaid his building was of modern construction and was ‘“‘fairly. com- fortable.’’ Internes of Emergency hospital treated two cases of heat prostra- tion on the street. The names of the victims were not taken. An interne of Casualty hospital treated a case of heat prostration at 217 Four-and-a-half street -southwest. Julius Moore, colored, 49 years old, 62 G street southwest, was overcome while he was collecting trash, and was treated at Prové- dence hospital. Two cases were treated at Georgetown University hospital—F red Deskins, colored, of Ballston, Va., and James Allen, colored, of 1204 £Thirty-seventh street northwest. Freedmen’s hos- pital had one case, Mollie Christian, colored, 6017 Brooks road,-Chevy Chase, Md. Joseph Potter, 55 years old, 217 Fourth street northeast, was over- come at Connecticut avenue and K street northwest and was treated at Emergency hospital. Clayburne Johnson, 55 years old, 42 Massa- chusetts avenue northwest, was overcome while riding on a street ‘car and was treated at Freedmen’s hospital. In the last few days there has been an alarming decrease in the flow of the various streams which supply water for the filtration plants of the Washington suburban sanitary district. The officials in charge are thinking of asking citi- zens to exercise moderation in using water for sprinkling purposes. STORM’S FURY GRIPS NEW YORK FOR HOUR FROM PAGE 1.) (CONTINUED 000.

FIREMEN OVERCOME “IS BLAZE DAMES AEXANORI STORE Another Hurt by Glass; $6, 000 Stock Lost. MISS ST. CLAIR iS WED TO RUSSELL M. ELGIN Two Men, Held in Pocketbook Snatching, Blame Theft on Each Other. THE WASHINGTON POST BUREAU. 124 N. Patrick St., Alexandria, Va. Three firemen of the Alexandria volunteer fire department were overcome by smoke or injured when the Sanitary Grocery store at King and Payne streets burned Wednes- day evening. The injured men were John Hughes, Company No. 4, overcome by smoke; Thomas Cock- rell, Company No. 5, overcome by smoke, and Frank Simpson, Com- pany No. 1, cut by flying glass. All were taken to the Alexandria hospital, where they were treated, later in the night going to their homes. The store closed at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, in accord- ance with the summer custom, and smoke ‘was discovered pouring from the rear of the building late in the afternoon, when the alarm was given. The firemen arrived shortly and worked for several hours be- fore getting it under control. The stock, valued at $6,000, was badly damaged by smoke and fire, with little chance of salvage, and the building, owned by Robert F. Downham, is covered by insurance, although Mr. Downham has given no estimate as to the damage. The fire is believed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion and is thought to have been smouldering for several hours before being dis- covered. The marriage of Miss Ruth Clara St. Clair, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. St. Clair, of: Braddock Heights, and Mr. Russell Monroe Elgin, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. L.

Stone, while waiting for a bus on upper King street, un- der the railroad viaduct, at 8:55 Wednesday evening, had her packetbook containing $4, a rail- road pass and a receipt, snatched from her hand by a passing colored man. She immediately made an outcry, and the matter was re- ported to the police headquarters. Two colored men giving the names of Tobie King, about 18 years old, Fayetteville, N. C., and John Jones, 18, of 130 Fifth street, New York, were arrested by Police Capt. WwW. W. Campbell and Policeman Stewart, on suspicion and when confronted by Mrs. Stone yesterday morning Jones placed the blame on King and King in turn said Jones committed the deed. The pocket- book, minus its contents, was found near the place where Mrs. Stone was standing when it was taken from her. Both men are being held for further investiga- tion. . The Tenth Regiment U. S. Marine Corps, motorized artillery, station- ed at Quantico, passed through this city yesterday afternoon en route to Camp Meade, in command of Col. Harry Lay. They will return early in September.

Winchester, Va., Aug: 12.—wWill- iam Mowery and his five sons, one of them a former Winchester police- man, were held for court tonight after raiders, headed by Sheriff Pan- nett, of Frederick county, and Sher- iff Borden, of Shenandoah county, brought four giant stills here on a truck, along with a fot of distilling paraphernalia. The stills had a combined capacity of 500 gallons. Nearly 1,200 gallons of mash was destroyed and 18 gallons of finished liquor was seized as evidence. The raid was thade today, after the raiders had crawled up and down steep mountain slopes and through dense wildernesses. Sheriff Pannett said he. failed .to seize another still, much larger than the others, because of an error in the search warrant. New York Bank Rate Raised to +¢ Per Cent New York, Aug. 12 (By A. P.).— An increase in the New York Fed- eral Reserve Bank’s rediscount rate from 3% to 4 per cent was an- nounced today, thus establishing a uniform bank rate of 4 per cent throughout the country. The New York rediscounting charge had stood at 3% per cent since April 22. Tightening credit conditions, re- sulting from recent expansion of commercial activities, a great in- crease in stock market trading and the growing demand for funds for crop moving purposes, were consid- ered responsible for the change at this time. When a 4 per cent rate was established early this year, the increase was generally regarded as a warning against the excessive use of credit in stock market specula- tion, but it is not believed that this factor was a determining influence in the latest change.

Deike. APPLICANT IS FOUND LIVING IN WASHINGTON Montgomery School Superin- tendent Appoints Principals for Coming Year. MONTGOMERY COUNTY BUREAU OF THE WASHINGTON POST, ROCKVILLE, MD. In order for a person to success- fully prosecute a divorce suit in Montgomery county, the complain- ant must be a bona fide resident of the State, so Judge Robert B. Peter has decidéd in the circuit court at Rockville. Judge Peter so held in a decree dismissing the bill, with- out prejudice and without passing on its allegations, in a suit of Ulric C. Deike, an employe of the United States Veterans’ bureau, against Mrs. Edith M. Deike, of Montreal, Canada. The plaintiff contended that the home of his parents at Takoma Park, Md., was his home, but as the testimony showed that he had not slept there for two years imme- diately preceding the filing of the bill, Judge Peter decided that that was not his bona fide domicile and that his place of abode was really in the District of Columbia. “A domicile for divorce .is not a favorite of the law,” Judge Peter declared in his decree. ef against the policy of the law that the courts should grant divorces to applicants save bona fide residents of this State, and the residence mest be established to have been within the letter and spirit of the statute before the bill was filed.’’ Deike asked for an absolute di- vorce on the ground of desertion, representing that he was’ “without just cause or provocation’’ deserted within a few months after his mar- riage May 20, 1922 Prof. Edwin W.

The banquet brought to a close the fourth day of the triennial convention of the Na- tional Association of the Deaf. The banquct was held in what is known as the small ballroom. The music came from the large ballroom, which is now being used as a “roof garden.” To half of those at the ban- quet, the music was only faintly audible; to the other half, it was not audible at all. However, it would have made no difference if they all could have heard it, because all the speakers talked en the sign language. —E JS Washington Grove, Janie Rusk; Sandy Spring, Edgar A. Smith.

The fire started in a straw rick near the barn and quickly spread to nearby buildings. Many neighbors and members of the Rockville Volunteer fire department responded to the alarm, but scarcity of water rendered it impossible for ‘them to do anything toward check- ing the flames. All of the furniture was saved. What caused the fire is not known. All of the property was well insured. Within the last few days the Rev. Bertram M.

Associated Press). athletic 12 (By N commission today gave its unqualified approval to the | Dempsey-Tunney heavyweight title battle and ordered Promoter Tex Rickard to go ahead with all arrange- ments to stage the fight at the Yankee stadium on September 16, in spite of the fact that Dempsey has not yet received his license and has no immediate prospect of get- ting it. While the commission was jam- ming through this action in a snappy half-hour session declaring Dempsey in good standing on all counts and be given his official outer offices were thrown into an uproar by a fiery tilt between the champion and Paddy Mullins, gray haired manager of Harry Wills, that nearly ended in the pair coming to blows. Mullins, incensed by the refusal of the commission to give him a further hearing and the apparent shelving of his lingering hopes of matching his negro with the cham- pion, set off the spark of a long smouldering feud by spurning Dempsey’s geeting as they bumped into each other in a crowd of news- men and other onlookers. VU kor NS accused Demp- sey of “double crossing” for a in his various dealings match with Wills, then called the champion a “liar,” as the latter denied sending a tele- gram of assurance from Los Angeles last March on articles signed with the Coliseum club, of Chicago. permit, In spite of his white hairs and 50 years, the squat-figured Mullins jumped to his feet, his face livid with anger as Dempsey turned away with a remark that “it’s a good thing you're too old.’”’ ‘I’m not too old to take you on,” shouted Paddy, raising his fist. ‘‘If you won't fight my fighter, I'll lick you.” Intervention: by calmer heads, in- cluding Gene Normile, one Dempsey’s business agents, prevent- ed the clash from going further, but Mullins flung a final bombshell when he charged that he had been | offered and refused $590,000 to withdraw the challenge of Wills for a title match, now on file with the | commission. ‘*T won't that offer, proper time. heen a 3" reveal now but I'll do so at frame-up and I can prove recommending that he | the | of the boxing board | who made | the | This whole thing has | } | ! | the ~The Siate | \ | | { | ‘limited team tomorrow.

EW YORK, Aug. 12.—The N License Committee of the New York Cauliflower Com- mission straight-armed Jack Demp- sey again today and the. boys be- came so earnest abput their delib- erations that a rude scene took place. Paddy ~*~ Mullins, late maitre d’hotel of Paddy Mullins’ late joint on the Bowery, now president and gengral manager of the firm of Harry Wills, called Dempsey a liar and offered to knock Dempsey’s new nose into the corner pocket. Walker Wear, of the License com- mittee which is withholding Demp- sey’s permit to fieht Gene Tunney, sent a telegram to George Brower, the eminent other guy on the Cauli- flower Commission which had pre- cisely the flavor of a dirty dig. The Honorable License Commit-! tee, consisting of Wear and Colonel William Phelan, remained stating that Dempsey was officially pure and eligible to fight Gene Tunney under the auspices of Tex Riekard on September 16, had no more effect on the situation than the nibble of an elderly flea wear- ing mail order teeth on a sculpture of Rip Van Winkle’s dog, executed by the United States Steel Corpora- tion.

Sweitzer, county clerk, and countersigned by Thomas E. Bourke, general man- ager of the Washington Park race course. The course completed a 31- cay meeting on August 7. After the running of the derby, which Col.

Harris Watches Game From Box; Rice Is Leader at Bat. By FRANK H. YOUNG. MILER" GEORGE MURRAY must have laughed out loud after his 5 to 2 victory over the Yankees yesterday after- noon. He certainly had a right to do so, for he held the Hugg- men, who once passed him’.up as no good, to but three hits and mfade them like it. Manager Harris was advised that he had been sus- pended for his Wednesday’s argu- ment with Umpire Owens, and wit- nessed the. game from a box behind the Nat bench. He joined George in smiling at the finish. The rookie’s performance was one of the best turned in by any of the Harrisian moundsmen this season. During the entire nine innings, but five of the Big Towners managed to get on the bases, two scoring and three being left. In all but three frames, George set them down in or- | der, fanning such pill-pounders as Gehrig and Ruth in succession in the sixth canto. so HIS win made it three in 4 T’ row over the league lead- ers and four in succes- sion, counting the victory itm Cleveland, which ended the last Western trip, this being only the second time this season that the Georgia avenue band has marched to victory more ‘than three times hand-running. New York's attack may be de scribed in but a few words. In the first, Gehtig walked with two dead and was stranded. In the third, Severeid led off with'a single, ad- vanced on Murray’s final pass of the game, issued to Beall, and counted “when Gehrig maced a liner good for a sack to left. Following five ‘‘three up and three down”’ frames, Gehrig doubled with one on the shelf in the ninth, took third on a wild pitch, and registered under Ruth's sacrifice fly. This blow, incidently, was the only ball the Bambino was able to hit out of the infield, for a grounder to Judge, a foul, and a strike-out represented his doings on his other three trips up. Walter Beall, fermer Mohawk flinger, drew the pitching assign- ment from Manager Huggins and it was not.so much what the Nats did to him as what he did for them that caused his downfall. The piate seemed to be continually swinging i } | } (CONTINUED ON PAGE 15, COLUMN 1.) —_—— -_---— —- HAWKINS - NASH | MOTOR C0.

Walter Johnson will hurl the final game of this set against the Yankees this afternoon. The vet- eran Bob Shawkey probably will oppose him on the slab. Ladies and Boy Scouts are expected to brave the heat and turn out in force to see these oldtimers battle. Outfielder Danny Taylor will not be loaned to the Memphis club after all; at least, iot unless Manager Milan, »>f the Chicks, changes his mind again. When it was learned that Taylor could not report imme- diately because of the illness of his wife, Memphis wired canceling its call for help. Later, Griffith re- ceived word from the player that he was leaving Pittsburgh yesterday, and the Southern leaguers then stated that they had signed some one else. Taylor, therefore, will rejoin the Nats here this afternoon, AMMY HAAS, first-sacker ny of the Shamrocks, “Wee Willie” Glasgow's crack local sandlot nine, will be given a trial with the Nationals, and has been told to report at the Georgia stadium shortly after noon today. Another ambitious rookie report- ed for trial to Manager Harris yes- terday. He answers to the name of Arthur Cholcher and has ambi- tions to be a big league flinger. He has played amateur ball in both Milwaukee and Chicago. He is over 6 feet tall and appears to have considerable stuff. Stephen Christoff, the Johnson City outflelder, who was given the “‘once over’ Wednesday, was signed by the Harrismen yesterday. As he is pretty green, the chances are that he will be sent to the bushes for needed experience. Reds Beat Phils, 9-2; Dressen’s Bat Counts Philadelphia, Aug. 12 (By A.

Bical Youth Reaches. Finals District ¢ eee Beats Chicago Man in 5 Hard Sets. Dis erean Defeated by Drewes; Players Bothered by Heat. HILADELPHIA, Aug. 12 (By | Pp A. P.)—Theodore Drewes, of St. Louis, defending cham- pion, and Dooley Mitchell, of Wash- ington, D. C., municipal champion, today won their way to the final round of the national public park tennis tournament on the Woodford courts. They will meet tomorrow for the singles title. Both won hard-earned victories today in their semifinal matches, being carried into extra sets. Drewes defeated Elmer Dudy, of Baltimore, 2—6, 6—3, 8—6, 6—2, while Mitchell eliminated Charlés Lejeck, Chicago in a five-set match, 8—6, 3——-6, 8-6, 4——6, 63. Drewes appeared to be off his fame in the first set. After losing the first two games he rallied and evened the count at 2-all, but Rudy, playing brilliantly, added the next four games and took the set with little difficulty. The Baltimore play- @r rallied in the third set and had the champion on the run in the early part. AMES went with service Ls until they were deadlock- ed at 6-all, Then Drewes brcke through and also won on his own service. In the final set, Rudy appeared tired and the titleholder romped away with the set in easy fashion. Mitchell and Lejeck employed the Same tactics. Both used hard, deep drives and scored about the same number of service aces. Mitchell. however, was the steadier and ex- celled at the net. The intense heat bothered all the contestants and play was suspended several times to allow them to rest. Charles and Leo Lejeck, Chicago, the doubles champions, were de- feated in easy fashion in the semi- finals by Amsterdam and Lavine, ee The scores were 6—0, —o. 6—.9 Drewes and Schaberg, St. Louis, took the other doubles match from Rudy and Jacobson, Baltimore, 4—-6, 1-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2. MURRAY HOLDS YANKS TO 3 HITS; NATS WIN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13.) while he was performing and, al- though he granted but five hits during his seven-frame shift, this good work was nullified by nine passes issued rather promiscuously. A pinch-hitter represented him at the tee in the eighth and Herb Mc- Quade pitched against the Nats during their last turn at bat. T' familiar to the Nats as they were virgin territory to the visitors, and in all but two innings one or more of Harris’ henchmen was a runner. Two of the Nat runs were gifts HE base “paths were as In round one, a Marker was coined without the aid of a hit, due to Jumping Joe Dugan uncork- ing a wild heave to first with Mc- Neely on third as a result of a frank, sacrifice and useful out. The other marker was presented by Walter in. the sixth when, after Rice had led off with a single, free tickets to first were provided for Goslin, Bluege and Tate. Two outs were scattered between these hap- penings and the Goose ended the parade. by dying when he tried to steal home. Washington's big inning was the second. It was nothing to write home about as to size, but this pair of runs looked mighty big at the _time. Bluege started things going by singling past Dugan, and Tate walked, both then advancing when _ Beall made a balk. Murray fanned and both runners held their places _while the pitcher was killing Mc- Neely on a topped roller. Then 'Stewart singled Ossie over and Tate crossed the platter when Rice followed suit. Round 7, the “lucky” frame, saw the Harrissless Harrismen mold | their final tally.

HE nearest approach to three featherweight duels that made fistic history about the vicinity of Washington—Bobby Garcia vs. Honey Boy Finnegan, Andy Bowen vs. Goldie Ahearn, Honey Boy Fin- negan vs, Johnny Dundee—is Tues- day night’s acheduled'= twelve- rounder between Goldie Ahearn, ghetto pride, and Al Foreman, the young calvaryman, of Fort Myer, which will be held at Kenilworth arena. Finnegan and Garcia thrilled the large gathering at old Sportland Heights, but the possibility of Al Foreman besting Goldie Ahearn is to be the magnet which interests Washington fight fans. It is more than likely that Fore- man will climb through the ropes a favorite. When the match was in the makings a few months ago Foreman was the logical choice on every corner, but since that time Ahearn polished off the classy Spen- cer Gardner, thus increasing his fis- tic stock. OTH men are in condition. Foreman is going through the paces at Jack Demp- pin Saratoga Springs camp, tle Ahearn is working at Co- lonial Beach, Washington salt water summer resort. Word from both camps is to the effect that the men_are in the shape that only weeks of arduous training will bring. It means much to either of them to walk out of the ring Tuesday as victor. Should Foreman win he is the logical candidate for a match with the sensational Honey Boy Finnegan.

ANAGER John McAuliffe’s M double in the ninth inning with two on base earned Chevy Chase a 8 to 2 victory over Mount Rainier yesterday in a sec- tion A, Capital City league unlimit- ed battle on the Jatter’s diamond. The victory puts those teams on even terms for fourth place in the race, each having split its six games. The game was one of the neatest pitching duels of the season with two Irvings the principals—Batson, for Mount Rainier, and Claude, for Chevy Chase. ACH allowed six hits, but Batson was wild, walking five and hitting two, wherein lies the story of his de- feat, Claude fanned eight bat- ters to four whiff; for his oppo- nent. Johnny Goetz and Hoyle col- lected four of Mount Rainier’s hits, the Marylanders being blanked in seven of the eight innings.

Event Mountain Lake Park, Md., Aug. 12.—-Howard Stump Friedrichs, of Wheeling, and Gwynn King, of Washington, D. C., won their semi- final matches here today, and to- morrow afternoon they will battle for the Western Maryland tennis title. King had an easy time in doing away with the veteran G. A. Sawin, of Pittsburgh. It was youth and brilliance against age and steadi- ness, and the District of Columbia parks performer was never threat- ened seriously. King and Howenstein played brilliantly in the semi-final doubles round, winning over Sawin and Dick, 6—2, 6—-3. The other semi- final is yet to be played. MEN'S SINGLES.

LTHOUGH final action has not A yet been taken, information from reliable sources indi- cates that there will be five Wash- ington contestan{s in the national amateur golf championship tourna- ment which is to be played at Bal- tusrol, N. J., beginning on the 13th of September. The quintet will be Cc. J. Dunphy, ‘Columbia: A. L. Houghton, Manor; Roland R. Mac- kenzie, Columbia; Miller B. Stevin- son, Columbia, and George J. Voigt, Bannockburn. There is a possibil- ity that this number will be in- creased by the addition of Herry G. Davis 3d, of Chevy Chase. Dunphy and Mackenzie are eli- gible by reason of qualification in previous national events, but Houghton, Stevinson and Voigt were compelled under U. S. G. A. ruling to submit their entries with their records. ITH Houghton and Stevin- B son participated in the Oakmont contest last year, the former by reason of reach- ing the semifinal round in the national public ,links tourna- ment, but neither qualified. It is evident, however, that they are to be gtven another oppor- tunity. ' Voigt has never played in a na- tional amateur championship, but submitted a convincing record of his golf achievements, beginning with his winning the ptiblic links championship in this city and con- cluding with his victores this vear, when he won five out of the seven events in which he was entered, in- cluding the Middle Atlantic cham- pionship, besides being medalist twice. Throughout this season he has been at the top of his game and is expected to make a fine showing at Baltusrol. The tournament committee of the Bannockburn club held a meet- ing at the clubhouse this week and completed a program of the major events yet to be played this season, as follows: August 13 to 20—Seventy-two holes, medal play, handicap. August 14 to 2, _ Iinclusive—-Qualification round for the club championship, Clasa A (14 and under) and Class B (over 14), with match play rounds once a week thereafter.

Pendergast present club champion again seek the coveted title this year. Mrs. George T. Cunningham, several times winner of the wom- en’s championship, will also make another bid for the honor. Middleton Beaman has been ap- pointed chairman of a special com- mittee to arrange, in corporation with the green committee, the de- tails for the fall invitation tourna- ment. The course is in good shape, the greens having survived the sea- son with very little injury from brown patch.

SET FOR TOMORROW await” Is Only Thing River- dale Department Will Say About evens. DECLINES TO PREDICT WINNERS OF HONORS Is Prepared to Defend Cham- pionship Captured at Last Year’s Meet. . In this series of articles concern- ing volunteer fire companies that will take part in the convention of the Prince Georges County Vol- unteer Firemens association at Riverdale tomorrow, it was fre- served for the Riverdale. volunteer fire department, host to the con- vention, to have the last say about which company will carry off the honors in the contest. The only statement that the Riverdale volunteers make, how- ever, is wait until tomorrow.” Because of their silence, therefore, it is impossible to tell just what the Riverdale men have up their sleeves. It is understood that they do not hold any of their competi- tors lightly. And yet they point out that they won the contest last year, and that it is up to them to defend the championship. Three Contests Planned. There will be three contests this year, and the conditions will be generally the same as last year. A cup will be donated by The Post for the best time in the pumper contest. Cups will be given by the Seabridge Jewelry Co. in the nonpumper contest, and by the citizens of Riverdale for the two- company hoop-up contest. The con- tests will take place after the pa- rade which will follow the conven- tion proper. With the engine dead, and the men 25 feet away from it, on a line 500 feet from the plug, the firemen will run to the engine and start the motor, drive the 500 feet, connect with the plug and have water spouting from the nozzle within a given period of time. The three cups apply to different equip- ment used. Department of 3 Companies. The Riverdale fire department is composed of three companies, each with a full equipped engine, and has an active membership limited to 20, with no reserves. It is sup- ported by voluntary contributions. Besides it receives other aid, nota- bly from the Woman’s club, of Riv- erdale. ' The department was aiieied in 1923, after a series of endeavors covering a period of about fourteen years, The first fire to which the new organization responded was caused by fireworks on the Fourth of July. The three engines of the depart- ment, each forming the equipment of a company, are equipped with chemical tanks and hose, ladders and water hose. No. 1 engine, the first apparatus purchased by tne new organization, is equipped with a pumper in addition to the regular equipment mentioned. New Pumper Considered. The department is considering purchasing a new pumper. No. 2 engine was made of an old horse- drawn wagon mounted on a chassis. The full equipment on it includes life belts and gas masks. No. 1 In- dependent forms part of the depart- ment, but was made and is owned by Edward C. Stewart, and Eugene Bennett, of the Riverdale garage, where it is kept. -It will be pur- chased by the department at.a later date. It is a speedier piece of ap- paratus than the rest, and in the garage is kept across the railroad track from the fire house, aad thereby any possibility of trains nolding the firemen up is elimi- nated. The eye 6f the department are: W. Gray, chief; Edward 8S. Stewart, ee chief; Eugene Bennett, chief engineer; T. W. Ven- neman, secretary; Dr. S. M. McMil- lan; treasurer; J. W. Gunn, J. R. Rice, and J. W. Bush, captains, and Edward Glading, Norwood Glading, H. K. Fuller, A. W,. Brown, William Koeh and Charles Reed, active per- sonnel. $15,000 Asked in Suit For Alleged Injury Lucille Penn, 1644 Cramer street northeast, who says she was thrown to the floor of a street car on North Capitol street at Truxton circle twice in succession, filed suit yesterday in circuit court against the Washington Railway & Electric Co. to recover $15,000 damages for alleged personal injuries. The ac- ' cident happened March 5, she ». stated. ~ Through Attorneys Whelan and O’Connell the plaintiff says that after once being thrown to the » floor by a violent jolt, she regained ' her feet and was again thrown by a second violent jolt. Dr. Gearhart to Ask Court to Quash Writ '« Dr. Clyde M. Gearhart, dentist, : my and Navy club, who was sued ’ by Mrs. Ethel H. Gearhart for a ' HMmited divorce, will ask the equity ' @ourt this morning, through Attor- ' freys Archer and Sanford, to quash writ which required him to fur- gish a $3,000 bond to guarantee ‘that he would not leave the city without permission from the court. The dentist denies that he threat- @med to leave Washington and go to: Ohio. He says his wife has a , voting residence at Greenville, ' QOhio., and that he has a legal resi- dence there. oA rs ,* ‘Ze Chicken Restrictions Proposed by Fowler Dr. William C. Fowler, District health officer, yesterday submitted to the commissioners a proposed amendment to the po™ce regula- tions to forbid persons living in thickly populated parts of Wash- ington from keeping “any kind of domestic fowl or pigeon,’’ without the written consent of a majority of the residents of the block. Even then, the aspiring poultry fancier can not keep roosters un- less the written consents so spe- cifically stipulate. Upon filing with the department of health the written consents, the health officer will, if the commissioners adopt the proposal, issue permits for keeping fowl, subject to drastic conditions as to condition of the house and yard in which the birds are to be penned. PLANNER FROM 31. LOULS ERE 10 STUDY CAPITAL H. Bartholomew Comes to City at the Request of Park Commmnesron. DRIVEWAYS INSPECTED Washington will have the advice of one of the foremost city planning consultants in America in the per- son of Harland Bartholomew, of St. Louis, who came here vesterday at the request of the National Capital park and planning commission for an inspection of the city and its en- virons, prior to presenting his sug- gestions to the commission at its meeting next week. Mr. Bartholomew will study parking, recreational and driveway possibilities of the Capital, three big features in the park and planning commission’s work, from all angles, making frequent tours of inspection for the next few days in company with Maj. Carey H. Brown, engineer for the commission; Charles W. Eliot, its planner, and Frederick L. Olmsted, of Brookline, Mass., a member. Mr. Olmsted arrived yesterday to make a personal inspection of proposed driveway and parkway projects with a view towards their consideration August 21, date of the commissioners’ meeting. The officials began their first inspec- tion yesterday afternoon but will not reveal details of their report until it is presented to the commis- sion. Maj. Brown, prior to Mr. olomew’s arrival, went over the proposed route of the “Richard Byrd straight-to-the-bridge”’ high- way, and additionally contemplated oe for Arlington county, ra. He was accompanied by members of the Governor Byrd’s committee, entrusted with an investigation of this route, which will follow the line ~- Taylor avenue through Clar- endon, then through Ballstron by way of Preston avenue, joining the Memorial Drive at a point west of Ballston, then cutting across coun- try to the vicinity of Falls Church. KLAN SEEKS PERMIT T0 PARADE SEPT. 13. Barth- Request Made * Police Head to March Unmasked; To Be Granted. A formal request for a permit for the Ku Klux Klan to parade in Washington September 13 was made yesterday of Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of police. The letter of application was signed by L. A. Mueller, ‘‘representative in the District of Columbia” of the or- ganziation. The letter said that members of the klan expect to march in Penn- Sylvania avenue from the Peace monument to the Treasury Depart- ment, in full regalia, with visors up, as they did August 8, 1925. Two weeks ago klan representa- tives ‘‘felt out’? Commissioner Ru- dolph about parading masked. He told them that they could not do so, but that there was no objection to any one parading unmasked. He told them to make their application to the superintendent of police. This they did not do until yester- day. The permit will be issued as a matter of routine, it was said. 2 CONDUIT ROADWAYS CALLED EXTRAVAGANT Planning Commission Asked to Reconsider Proposed Boulevards. Criticizing Conduit road and Po- tomac avenue roadway projects as providing what he terms “two par- allel boulevards of maximum width running within a block or two of each other and feeding the same termini,’’ Chauncey P. Carter, 3625 Lowell street northwest, has asked the National Capital park and plan- ning commission to consider a revi-. sion of the highway plan in the Conduit road section to provide for a single maximum-width boulevard. He suggests beginning it at Key bridge, thence by Canal road to Foxhall road, to Conduit road, to W street, then by straight line to the intersection of Potomac and Ne- braska avenues, then by Potomac avenue to the filtration plant and back to Conduit road. In his letter to the commission he describes the present plJan for two parallel boulevards in this sec- tion as grossly extravagant and un- warranted, meaning an increase in the tax rate for the next 25 years and preventing the use of funds for more urgently needed improve- ments in the District. , Actress Sings at Club Lunch. Margie Coates, appearing this week at the Barle theater, sang several numbers at the weekly luncheon of the Kiwanis club yes- terday at the Washington hotel.

Through Attorney -f. S. Duvall. the plaintiff says that the dwellings cat™be put in a sanitary condition by repairs which he is willing and ready to make, but that the au- thorities have refused to issue a permit to him. He asks that the authorities be restrained from in- terfering with the proposed repair work and that an injunction issue to prevent a possible prosecution for failure to remove the dwellings. AIGHT TO CONDEMIN LAND FOR STREETS ATTACKED Constitutionality a Law Is Questioned by American Ice Company. SEEKS TO HALT ACTION Constitutionality of the law pro- ings by the District commissioners for land for extension of streets was attacked in the court yesterday) District Supreme by the American Ice Co. The commissioners have begun condemnation proceedings against. company-owned land for the exten- sion af» Taylor street between Geor- gia avenue and Thirteenth northwest, and the company yester- day asked the court to stop the pro- ceedings and declare unconstitu- tional the act under which they were begun. The act is confiscatory. pany. contended in its motion, filed through W. C. Sullivan, its attorney, and in addition does not ‘provide funds or machinery for payment of damages for condemned property. Having no money to pay for the property it is proposed to condemn, the commissioners may not properly seek condemnation, it was con- tended. Exception was taken to the pro- visions of the law under which the property owner must defend his property in condemnation proceed- ings, but left the commissioners free at any time to back out of the pro- ceedings without payment of any damages, even though a jury makes an award. The proceedings were started by the conimissioners when Frederick A. Fenning was in office and a new proceeding must be begun, the com- pany contended. FOUR PERSONS HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENTS Fireman Is Struck When Stepping From Behind W.R. & E. Bus. Four persons were run down by automobiles on Washington streets yesterday, one by a “hit and run” motorist. While waiting for a street car on Columbia road near California street, Alfonzo Scaltiferia, 42 years old,’ 123 D street: northwest, was struck by an automobile which fail- ed to stop after the accident. Scal- tiferia was treated at Emergency hospital for scalp wounds and bruises, John Hurst. 7 years old, 2600 L_ street northwest, was knocked down by an automobile on M near Twenty-fifth street north- west. His Knees and arms were lacerated. Running. out from between two parked cars in front of his home, 235 Linworth place southwest, Wil- liam Rodger, 5 years old, was knocked down: He was not seri- ously hurt. “Joseph T. Smyth, 40 years old, 4403 Wisconsin avenue northwest, a fireman attached to No. 12 truck company, was struck by an aytomobile when he stepped from behind a W. R. & E. bus near Wisconsin and Massachusetts avenues. He was treated at the Fireman’s clinic for bruises. 2,400 ALLEY HOUSES STAND DESPITE LAW 9,000 Persons Live in Them; 269 Condemned and 273 Razed. Despite congressional decree abol- ishing alley houses there are still 2,400 such dwellings, housing 9,000 persons in the city, according to the annual report of the board of con- demnation of insanitary buildings for the last fiscal year, made public yesterday.
