Attorney At- tends Conference That Re- sults in Formal | Complaint. ee Canton, Ohio, Aug. 16 (By A. P.).—The slaying of Don R. Mel- lett, Canton publisher, on July 16, after an active editorial campaign against vice conditions in Canton, appeared near a conclusion tonight with th swearing out of a warrant charging Louis Mazer, underworld leader, with the murder. Mazer is in jail at Cleveland. He was arrested earlier in the day ona Federal liquor charge. Carl Studer, a former business associate of Ma- zer in a Canton poolroom, also is in jail at Cleveland on a liquor charge and will be questioned further re- garding his knowledge of Mellett’s slaying. The warrant against Mazer was sworn to by Michael J. Glenn, of Indianapolis, assistant to Joseph R. Roach,’ special investigator from Chicago, who was called in on the case ten days age. Taken to Immediately it was issued the investigators went to Cleveland. They took with them Steve Kas- cholk, the mysterious informer, who had been held in the Stark county jail here since the day after the Mellett slaying. It was Kas- cholk who involved Patrick Eugene McDermott, for whom a nationwide search has been under way for more than two weeks. Mazer is the first person to be charged with murder. Detectives declare they have evidence which implicates several others. Roach said he has evidence which indicates that the revolver of pe- culiar foreign make, from which the fatal shot is believed to have been fired, was owned by Mazer. The present location of the gun is not known. Roach and the other investiga- tors refused to say whether their evidence pointed conclusively to the trigger-man in the case. Informer Prison. Policeman Implicated. Evidence in the hands of Roach, he said several days ago, tends. to implicate a number of the Canton police department and several un- derworld characters. The warrant, according to the plans, will be served on Mazer to- morrow and in all probability will take precedence over the Federal liquor conspiracy charge. Indictment of Mazer on the mur- der charge will be sought of the Stark county grand jury composed of eight women and seven men which convened today. The grand jury will not take up the murder case for several days, according to the present plans, and several more arrests may be made before any in- dictments are returned. Mazer and Studer, because of their alleged prominence in the underworld have been frequently mentioned in the murder inquiry. Both were questioned almost at the outset of the investigation by Can- ton police. In a statement after the issuance of the warrant, Roach said the evi- dence upon which the action was based had been collected by Detec- tive Ora Slater, of Cincinnati, and George C. Armstrong, his assistant. — Two Held at Cleveland, Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 16 (By A.

Summitt, N. J.; Aug. 16.— Faced with the heartrending choice of saving either his wife or his six-year old son, when their rowboat capsized on Sil- ver Lake, Nels Johnson, of Springfield, N. J., is commiserat- ing today with his son, Charles, while the body of his wife lies in Union county morgue. And Johnson is unable to convince himself why he made the des- perate choice that he did. The Johnsons, with three men friends, went out in the rowboat late Sunday. A _ storm broke, the boat turned over and all were thrown into the lake. The boat drifted away. Johnson ' found himself near his wife and son, and one of the three men shout- ed to him: “Save one of them, we'll try to get the’ other.”’ Johnson grasped the boy and struck out for shore. But the other men were unable to reach his wife. XITCHENER BODY “HOAX” ASHOCK TOALL ENGLAND Coffin Found Empty; Power, Promoter, Voices Surprise at Disclosure. NATION IS DISTRESSED London, Aug. 16 (By A. P.).— The British nation today found it- self the victim of a hoax of a par- ticularly unpleasant character when the investigation of the home office revealed. that the coffin brought from Norway to the accompaniment of much newspaper publicity and purporting to contain the body of the late British field marshal, Lord Kitchener, was empty. Frank Power, a British newspa- per man, was responsible for the story that he had found Kitchener’s body in Norway, which he brought to London and delivered at the Wa- terloo station. Officials from the home office and Coroner Oddie were present when the casket was opened this morning with great secrecy, and shortly afterward the home office issued the following statement, “The packing case alleged to con- tain a coffin and human body, which on Saturday night was removed by the police from the undertakers on Waterloo road to the Lambeth cor- oner’s court, was this morning opened in the presence of Coroner Ingleby Oddie and Sir Bernard Spilsbury, noted pathologist. The packing case was found to contain an empty coffin. The coffin was new and obviously had not contained a human body.’”’ The government recently made public a detailed statement which had convinced a majority of the people of the groundlessness of many of the published Kitchener myths. But such myths die hard, and many persons still entertained doubts respecting the fate of the _-—-- -— (CONTINUED ON PAGE 8, COLUMN 2.)

Paris, Aug. 16.—Mrs. Ruth Har- lan, fashion expert of a New York house, ‘‘covering’’ the Paris style openings, has turned down a flat- tering off€r which would have made her a permanent resident of Paris and Cairo. She could have signed up with an honest-to-good- ness harem, but passed up.the op- portunity for a business career. Mrs. Harlan in the course of a business tour met an Egyptian dealer. Before the sale was com- pleted the courtly modern sheik proposed to Mrs. Harlan. “Oh, but you don’t mean me,” she exclaimed. ‘“‘The Egyptians, I am -jold, only like fat ladies.” ‘‘But I like them thin,” said the Seraglio chief, adding, ‘‘I have only ‘one wife, but have wanted another for some time. I am sure you will like our four children.”’ The Egyptian could not under- stand Mrs. Harlan’s disinclination to share the life of a harem. (Copyright, 1926, by the Herald Tribune, Inc.)

Choosing marriage rather than $100,000, Miss Marie Kryl, daugh- ter of Bohumir Kryl, noted viclin- ist and composer, is busy purchas- ing her trousseau for her coming marriage to a titled Greek noble- man. Her decision to marry Spiro Hadje-Kyriakee, prevents her from receiving $100,000 promised by her father if she and her sister both remained single until they were 30 years old.

(Special Cable Dispatch.) London, Aug. 16.—George Ber- nard Shaw, a Fabian socialist, is en- gaged in a keen debate with the Daily Herald, London’s only social- ist newspaper, as to whether he lost on the money he invested in govern- ment securities during the war. The dramatist contends that half of his money has been wiped out through government inflation of the currency, while the Daily Herald in- sists that investors in British gov- ernment bonds have had money put in their pockets by postwar defla- tion. This falling out between Great Britain’s most famous socialist and her only socialist daily started when Mr: Shaw a fortnight ago sent a letter to the Financial News declar- ing that ‘“‘the British government by inflation practically repudiated the value of the war loan stock.’’ The Daily: Herald in an editorial suggested that Mr. Shaw must have been spoofing the editor of the Financial News and asserted that, on the contrary, the British govern- almost doubled the value of this stock. Naturally, the great Fabian con- troversialist is not going to let the matter stand there and he returns to the charge in a double-column reply, which the Daily Herald will publish tomorrow. Mr. Shaw complains that British government, acknowledged the polite terms of ‘‘inflation.”’ “If the government expropriated me openly in the proper way by in- taxation and super- taxation of my whole income, I would as a good socialist have had writes creasing its no ground for objectioi,”’ Mr. Shaw. He challenges the Daily Herald’s financial editor first to give him the name of any stock jobber who will make him a price for his war loan which will bear out the statement of The Daily Herald that deflation has doubled the value of this stock; to produce any stock ex- change quotation to the same ef- third, to buy any of his war loan at 400; fourth, to indicate any can purchase second, fect; market where he (CONTINUED ON PAGE 13, COLUMN 3.) the in borrowing his money in the course of the war, its indebtedness to him of 100 pounds and paid him 5 pounds yearly interest, but in goods it acknowledges a debt of 50 pounds and pays 2-10 pound interest be- cause, as Mr. Shaw puts it, the gov- ernment debased the currency under DEMPSEY REFUSED IGENSE: FIGHT IN COURT NOW LIKELY Permit Body~ Demands Champ: First Meet Harry Wills.

STAPLES, BACK, IS READY Former Commissioner Frederick A. Fenning is scheduled to appear in traffic court tomorrow morning at 11 o’clock to answer to two charges of traffic violation. With the return to duty yesterday of Policeman Orville Staples, of the Third precinct, the arresting offi- cer, arrangements were made through Mr. Fenning’s counsel for the former commissioner to appear. When Mr. Fenning failed to ap- pear at the Third precinct police station to deposit collateral in ac- cordance with a summons left in his automobile by Staples, the police- man swore out a warrant in ac-’ cordance with custom in such cases. The trouble started when Mrs. W. W. Smith, of 2514-Q street north- west, found herself unable to move her automobile because it had. been jammed tight by a car parked in its rear. Mrs. Smith went to the station house and Policeman Staples was detailed to assist her. After extri- cating Mrs. Smith’s car, employes of the apartment house at 1800 K street northwest complained that the offending car had also blocked the driveway to the apartment house and that a taxi bearing a woman passenger had been com- pelled to halt in the middle of the street to discharge its passenger. Staples left a summons, and when he returned to the station (CONTINUED ON PAGE 13, COLUMN 2.) ELDRIDGE REVERSED; PERMIT IS RETURNED Driver’s License Annulled Be- fore Trial; Moller Calls Action Error. The second driver’s permit to be revoked by Director Eldridge un- der the power granted him in the new traffic act was returned to its owner, M. G. Gangnon, 28 years old, 423 N street northwest, yester- day, when Col. I. C. Moller, acting director, reversed the original ac- tion. Mr. Eldridge is on a vaca- tion, : The permit was, ‘‘revoked in er- ror,’’ Col. Moller said. Gangnon was arrested August 5 and gdemanded a jury trial when he was charged in traffic court with reckless driving and leaving after colliding. Direc- tor Eldridge revoked his permit on August 8, before he was tried on the charges. Three days later an appeal was made to the commissioners by J. J. McGinnis, attorney for Gangnon, calling the director’s action ‘“un- reasonable and arbitrary.’’ The pe- tition was referred to the director for a report. Although no action was taken on the appeal, Gangnon’s permit was returned. Col.

SHEFFIELD DENOUNCED IN MEXICO FOR POLICY Betrayal of Country That Has Sheltered Him Charged by Capital Paper. OPPOSE» MAY _ RETURN (Special Cable Dispatch.) Mexico City, Aug. 16.—-The in- terest in the return of Ambassador James R. Sheffield to the United States apparently is increasing. Two morning dailies carry more or less bitter attacks on him. He is ac- cused of going to the United States to attempt to change the peaceful attitude of President Coolidge to- ward Mexico. Another paper accuses him of betraying the country that had given him shelter. All the papers would seem to indicate that the press totally is in the dark as to the objects in Ambassador Shef- field’s visit home and are attempt- ing to provide a point of view that will be pleasing to their readers. El Excelsior, the most prominent Mexican daily newspaper,’ this morning pays its respects to Shef- field in an editorial entitled, ‘‘The Trip of Mr. Sheffield.’’ The editorial] states that although numerous American newspapers at- tacked President Calles’ policy with the Catholic Church, President Coolidge declared a policy of hands- off. However, it is said, alleges El Excelsior, Ambassador Sheffield has gone home with the deliberate intention of changing the attitude of the chief executive of the United States. The editorial states: ‘“‘Mr. Coolidge has declared em- phatically that ‘the religious ques- tion purely is local and concerns only Mexico and consequently he will not interfere. He maintains this attitude firmly in spite of the opposition papers and Catholic press and organizations.

Houses, automobiles and other property were damaged by fallen trees and the wind. Following a week of intense heat, Washington now faces a week rich in the prospect of rain. Thun- dershowers are predicted for today y the weather bureau with little change in the pleasant temperature. Cloudy and unsettled skies are due to hang over the city for the next few days, the weather man Says. Lightning struck in three places. A bolt sent a limb of a tree at Chan- ning street and Bladensburg road northeast across a 6,600-volt elec- tric feeder wire, tearing down 100 feet of.the wire and throwing num- erous homes in that section into darkness. The Industrial school on Bladensburg road was affected mainly by the broken wire. When the wire came in contact with the rain-soaked street and flame began to spurt, an excited resident turned in a fire alarm. Firemen notified the Potomac Eleec- tric Power Co., and the damage wag repaired within an hour. Felled Tree Hits 2 Autos. A tree in front of a vacant house at Twentieth street and Massa- chusetS avenue northwest was struck by another bolt and sent hurtling down upon two automo- biles, which were parked in the driveway of the house. The cars were badly damaged. The drive- way was being utilized as parking space. Still another electrical streak connected with the flagpole atop 1701 Pennsylvania avenue north- west. occupied by the Goodman Clothing Co. and the Washington School of Music. Police made a survey of fallen trees and branches throughout the city last night and listed 32 trees and more than a hundred branches. The northwest section was the hard- est hit, but in the southeast and southwest little damage was re- ported. Auto Crushed by Tree. Five trees were blown down in Massachusetts avenue, between Twentieth and Twenty-first streets northwest. A parked-automobile in front of 1105 Twenty-first street was crushed by a giant tree. Show windows in stores at 901 Fifteenth street northwest and 95 L street northwest were shattered by the wind. A tree was blown across the home of Dr. Grant S. Barnhart, 1434 Rhode Island avenue northwest, and firemen were called to hack it away to permit patients ths go and.come from his office. The entrance of the home of Hubert Acker, 1121 Twenty-second street northwest, was blocked by a fallen tree. The storm sent the mercury down 18 degrees. The needle of the Pennsylvania avenue kiosk was reg- istering a high of 92 when the wind began to blow and after the fury had subsided it was registering 74. The rainfall of yesterday measured 1.64 inches, 1.17 inches falling in the storm. The cooling effects of the storm sent the thermometer later to 68. Telephoge wires in many sections of the city were blown down, nu- merous parked automobiles were stalled where the rain seeped ' through to the ignition, and street car and automobile traffic was greatly hampered by the driving rain, which poured down in sheets. Women Faint in Near Panic. Two women fainted when a néar- panic occurred in the Vermont ave- nue entrance of the Veterans’ bu- reau. Hundreds of employes, re- leased from. duty, were crushing. their way to the entrance, in an attempt to escape the storm. The women were revived in the build- ing.

TREASURY SUPPLY — BUREAU 1S. FACING DUSTIC SWMEUP Top Heaviness to Be Made Subject of Inquiry; Ohe Chief to Four Clerks. SEPARATE BUDGET FOR UNIT IS SOUGHT 200 Now on Its Rolls; Trans- ~ fers Hoped to Prevent Dismissals. A reorganization of the bureau of supplies of the Treasury Depart- ment is likely to be effected before the next session of Congress with a view to establishing it as an in- dependent unit, it was learned yes- terday. The bureau. located at Seventh and B streets northwest, is now the subject of _an investigation by a committee appointed by Under Sec- retary Winston. It is said to be top-heavy and radical changes are expected. The supply burean, because been somewhat of thorn in the executive flesh ever since it was established at the instance of Vice President Dawes, when he was director of the budget. Because of its reported top-heaviness, Treasury efficials have never been able to get a separate appropriation for it from Congress. Five Handle Rubber Stamps. As a result it has functioned with its approximately 200 persons drawn frum and carried on the payroll of various other Treasury departments. There are said to be subordinate officials for every four or five men in the bureau. This condition was brought about in the bureau's original set up. A large number of its person- nel were section chiefs and like subordinates in the Treasury. Nat- urally they retained their super- visory attitude on their new job. Consequently they came to be called commodity chiefs. For example, there is said to be a commodity chief and four “‘employes’”’ to han- dle rubber stamp requisitions. The whole bureau, it is offi- cially believed, could be operated efficiently with a reduced clerical organization built around the di- rector and assistant director of the bureau with the multiple commod- ity chiefs eliminated. It is this phase which Mr. Win- ston’s committee, composed . of Daniel W. Bell, deputy auditor of accounts and deposits; John H. Schaefer, acting superintendent of the maintenance division ef the supervising architect’s office, and L. C. Martin, in charge of the pub- lic building program, is studying.

PRESIDENT TO KEEP a OFF MEXICO. CAMP REPORT SAYS —_ - ——$—$ is me ay "s, At Pe at ™) ase the criminal code which prohibits an organized ‘military movement against a friendly foreign country are to be placed against members of the expedition, federal officials said. Women Aid Robbery; Policeman Is Slain Tarpon Springs, Fla., Aug. 16 (By A. P.).—The robbery of a gro- cery store here early today result- ed in the shooting to death of a policeman by two gunmen who es-|’ caped with $1,600 in currency. Four men and two women were in custody tonight as suspects. B. E. Blewfield, Tarpon Springs policeman, was shot down when he ran to intercept the cracksmen who had opened the grocery safe. He died immediately. Hub Rochelt, who was at the scene of the killing, told police that he saw two women in the street outside the store give a signal to the pair within when the police- man approached. BOYCOTT DEPRESSION IN MEXICO INGREASES ee Hope That Congress May Al- ter Religious Laws Next Month Is Slight. VIOLENCE NOT SERIOUS Mexico City, Aug. 16 (By A. P.). While the religious situation con- tinues apparently without change, the depression caused by the eco- nomic boycott appears to be in- creasing. Some continue to cling to what seems a forlorn hope, that congress, which convenes Septem- ber 1, may enact milder religious regulations. But congress is im- potent unless President Calles ap- proves its acts. Congress is expected to do as the president desires; hence, unless Senor Calles himself yields in his religious stand, or loses political power, neither of which is indi- cated at present, congressional re- lief can hardly be looked for. Since the clash yesterday at the suburb of San Angel between Cath- olics assembled at the Church of San Jacinto and the police, in which several persons were slightly injured, there have been no inci- dents around Mexico City. Belated dispatches from Saltillo say that on Thursday Catholic women assembled in front of the cathedral, jeered a passing parade of workmen and others supporting the Calles policy. Sharp words were exchanged and the paraders rushed into the church, driving the women before them. Soldiers final- ly arrived and restored order. SAY SHEFFIELD SEEKS NEW MEXICAN POLICY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) accept the help of the United States if it meant interference with the internal government.of the nation. “Here we are all of one mind, neither Catholic nor government on the question of outside inter- ference with our internal troubles. We will look after our own house. Outsiae interference would bring about a wider party split and the national shame of having to submit local problems to outsiders.”’ Failure Is Predicted. El Excélsior makes many bitter attacks on Ambassador Sheffield and indicates that he will be per- sona non grata if it becomes known that he has made recommendations contrary to President Cooliage’s noninterference attitude. The paper predicts that Mr. Sheffield will not effect a change in Mr. Coolidge’s decision. El Excelsior continues: ‘Unfor- tunately, since the days of Poins- set, hateful to the memory of the United States, diplomats have sup- posed themselves sent here ag pro- consuls with unlimited power over a weak nation constantly threat- ened by a powerful one, and this has happened to such a judicious and honorable person as Mr. Shef- field. North of the Rio Grande, Mexico is iooked upon as _ prey which sooner or later must be taken, or at least be shipped into a so-called ‘diplomatic zone’ to suit rapacious and imperialistic designs. “The history of American Minis- ters and Ambassadors would be of great interest, since there has not been one who has not mixed in our politics; and, what is worse, they always are taking the wrong side.”’ Veiled Threat Charged. ‘“‘The well or evil intentioned at- titude of a diplomatic representa- tive of the United States neither is to, be desired or welcomed if he intends to interfere with our in- ternal affairs. “Mr. Sheffield, before leaving Mexico, launched a veiled threat that he would continue to place diplomatic difficulties in our path. This we could not and cannot stand for. When Mexico is involved in a national conflict, with passions running high, when a tempest is sweeping the United States against the Calles regime and the Ameri- can press is unusually bitter against*us, Mr. Sheffield seized the moment to state unreservedly that he is returning home to advocate reconsideration of the fundamental laws of our constitution relative to petroleum and land. “Why should Ambassador Shef- field throw new wood in the tire? And this is what he is doing. The interference of the American gov- ernment with the religious conrctict only makes the solution, now « dif- ficulty, infinitely more difficult.’ The Catholic episcopate wiil present the findings of its meetings of the bishops, which began yester- day at the Episcopal Palace here, to the government in an attempt to find a peaceful way out of the present deadlock.

HEAVY FIGHTING CEASES Peking, Aug. 16 (By A. P.).— Capture of the town of Hwailai, dominating the northern extremity of Nankow pass, with many pris- oners and much booty, was an- nounced today by headquarters of the allied troops of Marshals Wu Pei-Fu and Chang Tso-Lin, who are seeking the elimination of the na- tional armies of the Peking gov- ernment deposed by the allies in April. Uncertainty still prevails as to how far the allies have pene- trated Nankow pass, key position of the national armies, and center of their line. The official reports of the allies say there is no sign of the enemy at Nankow. On the other hand an equally creditable report from a nonmilitary source says that the allies control the town of Nankow, but have not advanced beyond, ‘to the pass in the mountains. The theory that the national armies may have evacuated Nan- kow pass quietly is given color by the entire absence of the usual evi- dence of heavy fighting necessary for frontal attack. Control of communications is held by the allies, and there has been no recent report from national army sources. If Hwailai has fallen hands of the enemy, have routed the national. armies from Nankow pass, where the latter made a& strong stand against the forces personally commanded by Wu Peli- Fu, which began moving against them July 2. The pass is 1,900 feet above sea level, and is a strongly fortified gateway of the great wall of China. The whole region is mountainous. The miiitary movements are tak- ing place within a broad loop of the great wall, with Kalgan the pateway to the northern side of the loop. From Hwailai to Kalgan by railway is appregimately 70 miles.

Wood Again Vetoes Philippine I Plebiscite Manila, Aug. 16 (By A. P.).— Governor General Leonard Wood to- day for the second time vetoed a bill passed by the Philippine legis- lature moving for a plebiscite of the Philippine independence.

PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD CARRIES MORE PASSENGERS HAULS MORE FREIGHT THAN ANY OTHER RAILROAD IN AMERICA Frank P. Bennett, Jr., a nationally known economist and editor of the United States Investor, one of the most con- servative financial papers in this country, wrote an article entitled “‘W hat We Think of Morris Plan.’’ This article ap- peared in the United States Investor of June 5th, 1925, and the following is an extract therefrom: “The continued existence and steady growth of the system (the Morris Plan) prove that it serves a real economic need. “Of course this is not the only evidence of the worth of the Morris Plan, or even the best evidence. The best evidence is found in the number of people who are being served. Year by year the number has steadily increased, until in 1925 it dealt with a total of 592,021. That is a substantial figure even for so large a country as ours. It seems even more substantial when you learn that in only about one hundred of our American cities have Morris Plan companies or banks been established thus far, while hundreds of other cities are without them, Only a few sections of the country are being reached with this service as yet. Meantime, back of those cold figures are 592,021 very human stories. “To every one of these people the Morris Plan has been a helpful friend, with its loans of small sums of money. Part of them were head-over-heels in debt. Others needed money badly for some necessary thing, covering the whole range of needs from a surgical operation to furniture for the house or to funds for an education. Still another part, not quite so numerous, needed small sums of money in their business. Hardly one person out of this whole number could have obtained the needed money so easily or so cheaply anywhere else as through the Morris Plan. Many of them could not have obtained it at all, from any other source. The bare figures for the number served in 1925 go far to prove that the Morris Plan fills a very necessary place in our banking industry, and these stories from human experience, that are behind the figures, make this evidence irresistible.” The Morris Plan Bank Under Supervision U.

b.0.P. ASSEMBLING FORGES FOR BATTLE TO HOLD. CONGRESS Chicago Office hie for Strong Western Campaign to Control Senate. 27 REPUBLICAN SEATS TO BE FILLED IN FALL -_— -— — Eastern Headquarters in New York Preparing to Aid Congressional Fight. Chicago, Aug. 16 (By A. P.).— Senate and congressional: cam- paigns confronting the Republican party this fall in Western States were surveyed today by the joint congressional campaign committee and a Western headquarters was established here. From the Chicago headquarters the committee will lend aid to Re- publican candidates for the ma- tional House and Senate in all States west of Ohio, while Ohio and States east of it will have the at- tention of the committee’s Eastern - headquarters.in New York. The campaign season will be an extraordinary busy one for the com- mittee, Secretary Lawrence C. Phipps, of Colorado, chairman of the Senate campaign committee, de- clared, because"34 Senators will be elected in 32 States, and 27 of the Senate seats at stake are now held by Republicans and must be re- tained if Republican control of the upper house is not to be menaced. Senators in Chicago. Senator Phipps and Senator Charles S. Deneen, of Illinois, sec- retary of the Senate committee, will make the Chicago office their head- quarters from shortly after Sep- tember 1. Senators Simeon D. Fess, of Ohio, and Frederick N. Gil- lett, of Massachusetts, will have charge of the Eastern headquarters, with the help through most of the campaign of Senator Walter Edge, of New Jersey. Representative Will R. Wood, of Indiana, chairman of the house campaign committee, will be here through most of the campaign, as will Earl Venable, of Idaho, execu- tive secretary. Representative John Q. Tilson, of Connecticut, will have charge of the House’s eastern Re- publican campaign. Representative Walter Newton, of Minnesota, chairman of a joint committee on speakers, will make his headquarters here, and Senators W. H. McMaster, of South Dakota, and C. L. MeNary, of Oregon, will aid the Senate campaigns in the West as members of the campaign group of the upper house. The committee has not yet dis- cussed, Secretary Phipps said, its attitude in such States as Iowa, where the candidate, Smith W. Brookhart, has opposed the regular party organization. Neither will it interest itself in the Wisconsin situation until after the primary, in which Senator Lenroot is op- posed for renomination by Gov. Blaine, La Follette progressive. Open New York Office. New York, Aug. 16 (By A. P.).— Headquarters for the direction of Republican senatorial and congres- sional election campaigns this fall in the States east of the Ohio river were opened today in the Hotel Mc- Alpin. The offices will be main- tained by the Republican national congressional committee and _ the Republican national senatorial com- mittee. Representative John Q. Tilson, of Connecticut, majority leader in the House of Representatives, is super- visor of the headquarters, which will have charge of the campaigns in New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and the southern Atlantic coast States. Before leaving for Maine today to confer with Repub- lican leaders of that State and to assign national speakers, Mr. Tilson expressed confidence that the elec- tions this fall would continue the Republicans in control of Congress for another two years. Canada Seizes Plane; Fines Two Americans ooo, Emerson, Man., Aug. 16 (By A. P.).—Two Americans who landed in Canada with an airplane were arrested by the royal Canadian mounted police, were fined, and their plane seized when they failed to report to immigration authori- ties. James A. Kilbane, St. Paul, fined $200 and was costs and Fred Wiltmore, Minneapolis, $10 and costs. They were charged with en- tering Canada by stealth. The plane was seized near Lancaster, Man., after a tip was received from United States customs officers. Preparations were being made to load a cargo of liquor. Former Mayor Mish Seeks Congress Seat Hagerstowh, Md.. Aug. 16.—For- mer Mayor Frank W. Mish, lawyer, farmer and banker, today filed for the Democratic nomination for Rep- resentative of the Sixth Maryland district. So far he is the only Dem- ocratic candidate. Mr. Mish served two years in the Maryland State senate. He was de- feated in 1920 and again in 1922 by Representative Frederick ‘N. Zihlman, Republican, who is again a candidate. George L. Eppler, Re- publican, of the State industrial ac- cident commission, has entered tg race against Zithimen. 19 Injured as Trains | In New Jersey Crash Jersey City, N. J., Aug. 16 (By .

P.).— Al Jolson, blackface comedian, re- turning from Paris today brought with him evidence to uphold his denials that he and his wife were planning a divorce. “Look at that trunk,’’ he said, waving at a huge wicker-enclosed trunk on the pier. ‘It is filled with magnificent gowns and lingerie. They are all for Mrs. Jolson. Does that sound like trouble in the air?”’ Jolson said there was nothing significant in the fact that his wife departed from Europe a_ week ahead of him. He explained he be- lieves it is ‘‘cheap to remain mar- ried,’’ because a court action might affect his stage career and his in- come as a comedian. COURT ASKED 10 DROP APPEALS IN OIL GASES U. S. Counsel Cite Walsh Act as Removing Action From District Bench. ANSWER WILL BE FILED The government's special counsel in the oil cases, Atlee Pomerene and Owen J. Roberts, yesterday filed with the clerk of the District Court of Appeals the government's motion asking the court to discon- tinue consideration of the special appeals which counsel for Doheny and Fall and Fall and Sinclair have made to the court. These appeals asked the court to review the de- cision of Justice Wendell P. Staf- ford overruling the demurrers in the conspiracy indictments. The government’s special counsel contend that the so-called Walsh bill, rushed through Congress dur- ing the closing hours of the last session, deprives the court of the right to continue deliberation in these cases. The Walsh bill provides that in- terlocutory orders in = criminal cases may not be reviewed by the District Court of Appeals until the case has been tried, and effort is now being made to make this bill retroactively apply to the oil cases. Counsel for the oil men and for Mr. Fall will file their briefs, chal- lenging the constitutionality of the Walsh bill, in so far as its retro- active effect is concerned, on Wed- nesday. The motion and the briefs will then be sent to the judges of the District Court of Appeals who are absent, as the court does not meet antil October. W. C. T. U. WILL TOUR REFERENDUM STATES Union Plans Aggressive Dry Campaign Previous to Vote on Prohibition. Chicago, Aug. 16 (By A. P.). The first move in a great ‘“‘dry”’ campaign pointed toward the fall elections was made today by lead- ers of the Women’s Christian Tem- perance union. It was decided to send speakers into each of the referendum States, Illinois, Montana, Nevada, Wiscon- sin, Missouri, California, Colorado and New York, to carry facts and figures compiled by the W. C. T. U. and a message that prohibition is the best means of handling the liquor situation. A report was made that a survey is under way in 100 cities to determine the kind of busi- ness being carried on where saloons formerly were located, and whether the property had increased or de- creased in value. Plans were discussed for the na- tional convention to be held Sep- tember 24 to October 20 in Los Angeles. A ‘‘White Ribbon Special’’ train will be run-from Chicago to the convention city, and stops will be made en route to permit speeches. WYOMING'S PRIMARY TODAY IS APATHETIC Gov. Nellie Ross and C. E. Winter, Representative, Are Unopposed. Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 16 P.).—Wyoming’s biennial State- wide primary election went down the home stretch today, with the opening of the polls in one of the most apathetic primaries in the State’s history less than 24 hours away. A singular lack of contests, with corresponding absence Of any gen- eral interest, attends the balloting scheduled for Tuesday. Gov. Nellie Tayloe Ross, Democratic incumbent, is unopposed for renomination and but one congressional seat is in- volved. Even that is without a looming contest, either in the pri- mary or the November election. Representative at Large Charles KE. Winter has no primary opposition, and thus far no Democratic candi- date has appeared with the threat of a contest in November. What little interest there is cen- ters about the race between Frank E. Lucas, secretary of state, and Frank C. Emerson, State engineer, for the Republican nomination for governor to oppose Mrs. _ Ross. Emerson is the regular party candi- date, indorsed by the State conven- tion, while Lucas has gone on the ballot by petition. (By A. Vare Returns from Europe. New York, Aug. 16 (By A.

Smith’s Al- leged Victim Refusees to Offer Statement. INQUEST IS ATTENDED BY WIFE OF PRISONER Hearing at Whitstable, Eng., Adjourned by Coroner Until August 30. Whitstable, Eng., Aug. 16 (By A. P.).—The detailed story of the kill- ing of John Adams Derham, with which Alphonse Francis Austin Smith is charged, will remain a se- cret until August 3 The ecoroner’s inquest into the tragedy which oc- curred at the Smith residence, Stella Maris Villa, Friday night, was adjourned after brief testimony was submitted today. The pubic’'s appetite for the reve- lations had been whetted by sensa- tional stories of the case, which has to do with notable families and crowds packed the little parish hall for the inquest proceedings which in this country often assume thé character of a trial, with lengthy evidence. Derham’s aged father brought an abrupt end to the hearing by declin- ing. to divulge his son’s alleged death statement. The coroner did not press for answers, saying he would wait until both sides were represented by counsel, and the crowds filed out into the crooked little Whitstable Main street, with the Smith-Derham case as much a mystery as ever. Mrs. Smith Is Present. Mrs. Smith, who is reputed to have been the cause of the quarrel between her husband and Derham, arrived at the inquest with the elder Derham. She appeared very young. She is Smith’s second wife, they having been married after his first wife, formerly Miss ‘Ruth Wynne, daughter of a former United States Postmaster General, divorced him. Jealousy over Derham’s_ atten- tions to her is believed to have led to a fight between Smith and Der- ham after the three had supped to- gether at a hotel and returned to the Smith residence. Mrs. Smith was dressed in black satin and wore a black toque and scarf. She conversed with the Elder Derham most of the time and left the parish hall in his company. No reference was made to Smith’s first wife or to his antecedents dur- ing the proceedings. He said his parents were at present living in Vancouver, B. C. Prominent Lon- don lawyers have been retained for his defense. In Financial Difficulties. Although Smith is credited with once having had an_ income of $750,000 annually, he recently had been in somewhat straitened cir- cumstances and the house where he and his family lived and where the tragedy occurred is a most un- pretentious ‘‘middle class’’ villa. It appears that he got an occa- sional financial windfall, and it was in celebration of one of these that the Smiths and Derham had a din- ner party, which was followed by the shooting. Bodies of 49 Found After 46 Years in Pit _— — Stellerton, N. S., Aug. 16 (By A. P.).—After nearly a half century, the Foord pit, which had remained hermetically sealed since an ex- plosion in 1880 entombing 49 coal miners, has begun to give up its dead. A shaft has been driven into the old workings and men, braving the gasses, have entered the foul interior and recovered the bones of three of the miners. Little was left of the dead ex- cept the larger bones, but the boots and leather belts of the victims are said to be perfectly preserved. S. T. Erskine Made Trade Chief. (By the Associated Press.)

P.).— Federal Judge Burns today formally approved the action by United States District Attorney Buckner to nolle prosse tle first indictment re- turned in the American Metal Co. case. This removes as defendants the German and Swiss individuals and concerns that were among the defendants in the original indict- ment. Thomas W. Miller, former alien property custodian, and Harry M. Daugherty, former Attorney Gen- eral, are the only defendants re- maining, they having been named in a second indictment charging them with conspiring to defraud the United States in the transfer of for- eign-owned stock of the metal com- pany. John T. King, once Repub- lican national committeeman from Connecticut, also was named in the indictment, but he is now dead. KAMENEFF 15 REPLACED IN SOVIET BY MERE BOY Another Bolshevik Idol Fails as Youth, Backed by Stal- in, Gets Office. STARTLED OLD-TIMERS Moscow, Aug. 16 (By A. P.) Another bolshevik idol has fallen, Leon B. Kameneff, commisar of trade, once member of the so-called triumvirate which rules Russia and one of the principals of the com- munist world, has been replaced by a mere youth, M. Kikoian, of Tiflis, a friend of M. Stalin, head of the communist party. Even old-time communists were startled to hear that the young Georgian, relatively unknown, had been given such a vital position in soviet national economy. But Sta- lin, a shrewd Georgian, apparently is determined to place his own trust- ed lieutenants in important posi- tions in the government. Like Leon Trotzky, Kameneff was regarded by Stalin and other doctrinaire communists as a heretic. The penalty he paid for daring to question the supremacy of those now in power was first the loss of his post as a member of the powerful political bureau, and the post of commissar of labor and de- fense, and now the forfeiture of the trade commissary. Kameneff, whose real name is Rosenfeld, always has been regard- ed as one of the moderate and pro- gressive elements of the bolshevik regime. He is the sixth big com- munist to fall victim to Stalin’s political ax within the last year. The others were Trotzky, Zinovieff, Radek, Sokolnikov and Lashevitch. NEW REVOLT PLOT CHARGED IN GREECE Former Premier Kafandaris Again Is Arrested; Two Others Sought. Athens, Aug. 16 (By A. P.).—A new plot to overthrow the govern- ment has been discovered, accord- ing to the afternoon papers, among politicians and army officials. For- mer Premier George Kafandaris has again been arrested and police are seeking Gen. Kondilis and Gen. Panayotopoulos. The mayor of Piraeus has been also arrested as well as a number of army officers. Kafandaris, one time premier of Greece, had been in constant oppo- sition to the Venizelos government and only last month was accused of being implicated in a plot on the life of Pangalos, and was banished to the island of Naxos. Both Gen. Kondilis and Gen. Panayotopoulos have been involved in plots against the Athens government. They were included in the recent amnesty that permitted the return of those ban- ished to the Island of Naxos. Haiti Gives Amnesty | To Political Prisoners (By Associated Press.)

SHOOTING IS ACCIDENTAL Rock Springs, Colo., Aug. 16 (By A. P.).—Definite developments in the tracking of the bandits who rifled 23 pouches of registered mail on a Union Pacific train as it was speeding through Wyoming Satur- day, with the indication that the robbery was an “inside job’’ as the main clew, were expected to result from an all-day conference of postal and railroad officials here today. The investigation swung to the “inside job” angle after it was defi- nitely established that no foot- prints, horse or automobile tracks were discovered at Wamsutter, 40 miles east of here, where the ban- dits were at first supposed to have escaped from the train, when it was stopped on signal of a railroad semaphore. Posses have practically ceased their efforts at tracking the robbers through the Red desert and Wind River mountains. A colorful band of 50 Shoshone and Arapahoe In- dians, together with a score of cow- boys, abandoned their search of the mountains and prairies near Lan- der, Wyo., following the accidental shooting of Col.

GIRL GUEST, 19, SLAIN, WOMAN REVEALS BODY Greenville, Tenn., Wife Said to Confess; Husband Held As a Witness. 4-DAY SEARCH IS ENDED Greenville, Tenn., Aug. 16 (By A. P.).—Mrs. Robert Tipton, charg- ed with murder, and her husband, held as a material witness, are in jail here tonight as the result of finding the almost decapitated body of Leola Winkle, 13, in a sub-cellar of the Tipton home near here to- day. The girl, daughter of John Win- kle, neighbor of the Tiptons, had been their guest for about three weeks. Since last Thursday she had been missing and Mrs. Tipton is said to have stated on that day the child had gone back to her home. <A search was started and armed with a search warrant the searching party, after several days’ hunt, again reached the Tipton home today. Mrs. Tipton was accused by an officer as the slayer of the missing girl and is said to have admitted the killing and led the searching party to the body, over which the searchers had passed innumerable times since Saturday. The child had been dead three or four days. The face had been beaten almost to a pulp and there were two huge gashes in the throat.

While President Kellogg have been conferring on Mexican questions, American officers have arrested Enrique Estrada and 150 men who were about to.enter Lower California from San Diego county armed with rifles, machine guns, an- munition and provisions. Estrada was at one time Mexican secretary of war and is regarded as an expert tactician. His purpose appears to have been to gain a foothold on Mexican soil. and proclaim a revolution against the* His force would probably have been sufficient to capture Lower Cali- fornia, and it would have taken time and effort for the Mexican government to dislodge him. In the interval Estrada might have stirred up the disaffected elements throughout Mexico, with perhaps far-reaching consequences. It was the duty of the American authorities to stop this expedition, which was set on foot in the United States. Whatever the differ- ences may be between the United States and Mexico, it is impossible for the United States Coolidge’ and Secretary - to give encouragement to a revolution in Mex- ico by ‘tolerating violations of law. The Americans caught in the expedition, if con- victed of participation in a revolutionry con- spiracy, should be severely punished. No doubt many of the Mexicans apprehended are unlawfully in the United States and must be deported. But the Department of Labor may decide that it is inexpedient to deport them to Mexico because of the danger of their’ execution. Their departure to some other foreign country would serve every pur- pose of American law, and it would be an act of mercy to keep them out of the clutches of the Mexican government. It is recalled that a Mexican general who was deported to Mex- ico last winter was immediately executed, al- though the American immigration officials claimed to have received assurances that he would not be harmed. BOOSTING FLORIDA, Something new in advertising is promised for next winter and spring. Starting in Novem- ber, 50 railroad cars, divided into five trains, will get under Way on the same day and hour from Jacksonville, Fla. Each train will be a specially equipped industrial and agricultural exposition, designed to create a favorable im- pression of the State among a large percentage of 90,000,000 souls living in the territory through which the trains will be routed. Each train will consist of a baggage car, equipped also with a boiler to provide heat for the entire train, and power to operate an en- gine and dynamo to supply electricity for lighting and moving pictures. There will be a moying picture car, equipped with special seats, in which will be shown the newest process colored films all hours of the day and Five cars will be devoted to general and special exhibits, two will provide living quarters for the exposition staff crew, and there will be one diner. Florida has suffered a reaction from un- healthy speculation. But Florida is intrinsi- cally sound, and possesses attractions and re- sources of enormous value. The State has not yet begun to develop its wealth. and train _ WHY NOT GET FROM UNDER? The chief of the chemical division of the Department of Commerce has given out a history of the potash industry in Germany and the German-French combination now control- ling the sale of potash in the United States, and the possibilities of obtaining potash in Poland. He has little to say about American production of potash, merely remarking that ‘unhappily production of potash in the United States has been under a cost of production much greater than that of European potash.’’ Labor and ma- terials are more costly here, of course. When the tariff bill of 1922 was being framed the protectionists interested in the production of American potash undertook to foster the American industry by means of a moderate tariff, reduced annually, for a series of years. However, the Western farmers de- manded that potash be placed on the free list, and it was done. If Congress would protect the American potash industry for a reasonable length of ‘time, the United States would become inde- pendent of Germany, France and all other countries for the bulk of its potash, and the _ price would be lower than the foreign price. DOES THE UNITED STATES LEAD? The statement of Col. Paul Henderson, for- mer Assistant Postmaster General, now gen- eral manager of the National Air Transport Co., to the effect that the United States today leads the world in aviation, will be gratifying to those to whom their country is always first, no matter what the facts of any dase may be. Col. Henderson bases his statement on sta- tistics recently gathered by the aeronautical chamber of commerce regarding the number of aviators available in the country, the num- ip ek ber of passengers and tonnage of freight car- ried, and the number of miles flown. In some respects such method of making deductions may seem to be correct. But the survey upon, | which the statement is based adds a paragraph which will be-pondered by many: ‘‘We have probably more commercial operators than any other nation, duc, undoubtedly, to the vast extent and the natural characteristics of our country.” Some one is bound to demand that the sta- tistics be reduced to ratios. What is the pro- portion of passengers carried to total popula- tion of the country? What is the ratio of miles flown to the total area of the country? Such figures, compared to similar statistics gath- ered in other countries, may possibly give a far better picture of comparative standing. At any rate, it is important that interest in commercial flying in the United States has be- come so active. If the United States does not already lead it will soon do so. GOV. SMITH’S POSITION. At -a dinner given by political friends in Buffalo, Saturday night, Gov. ‘‘Al’’ Smith tried in vain to escape the leadership of his party in the coming gubernatorial campaign. He was less emphatic on the subject of the presi- dential nomination and, in the end, as was ex- pected, agreed to abide by any decision reached by the party convention. The speech was characteristic of the man, simple, dignified and friendly. Gov. Smith took the position that it Was not a good thing for the impression tv grow among the Democrats of New York that he, and he alone, was competent to hardle the reins of thé State government. He expressed the opinion that there were many others thor- oughly competent to fill the office, who could be elected by a united party, and especially at the moment when the political opposition Was torn by dissension. Quite frankly Gov. Smith told his friends he did not want to be a candidate.- It was an office that placed a tremendous test on the strength of any man, and he would not undergo it another term if there was any way by which he could avoid it. He urged that there be less talk about him as an individual, and gave credit for whatever had been accomplished during his regime to the loyal support of his party in the legislature. The speech of the governor was more pleasing to his friends in its conclusion than earlier, when: he all but emphatically refused to be the candidate of his party. He made his appeal for personal con- sideration in the councils of his party and then added that like all good Democrats he would be bound to accept whatever decision the con- vention might reach. With regard to the presidential nomination Gov. ‘‘Al’’ neither evaded nor dodged. He is a candidate in the sense that he would accept if his party so wished. “I don’t believe that any man can be successful who seeks great political honors,’’ said the governor. ‘‘Great political honors are above the heads of all and they must come downward and seek the man. And to be prepared for these honors you must do the job you've got.’ Then he diverted his thoughts from these general prin- ciples to the personal side of the question once more and asked his friends what good it was going to do for them to work to nominate him } for President and have him so impaired in health as to interfere with his administration of the office if elected. The appeal of Gov. Smith before his friends illustrated the political philosophy by which he has been guided, and many will agree that that philosophy is sound. He does not permit per- sonal reasons or personal considerations to out- weigh his sense of loyalty and devotion to party. That characteristic more than any- thing else has endeared him to the masses of the great Empire State. STOCK DIVIDENDS. There seems to be some misapprehension as to just what stock dividends are. Announce- ment of a 50 per cent stock dividend made by a large automobile manufacturing institution was hailed with the statement that this is the same as a cash dividend on the outstanding stock.. It is not. A stock dividend is only another way of reducing surplus and adding to capital. An individual stockholder receives no money and adds nothing to his share of the corporation earnings. If he owns 100 shares of stock in a corporation having capital stock outstanding amounting to $100,000, and receives a stock dividend of 50 per cent—that is, 50 shares— he has no greater percentage. of stock than he had before, and receives no more of the sum distributed in dividends than he received before. ; The value of the stock with the added stock dividend depends entirely upon the future earning power of the corporation. A _ stock dividend is not a cash dividend, but a dis- tribution of surplus and an increase in capital stock. The Supreme Court employed this rea- soning when it declared that a stock dividend is not an increase in income to be taxed under the income tax law. But if dividends are in- creased the proportion earned by stock issued as dividends must, of course, pay an income tax. - f AN EXPLODED TRADE FALLACY. After the world war it was declared repeat- edly that the United States could not sell unless it was prepared to buy, and that as any in- crease in import duties would prevent foreign countries from buying from the United States, the United Stateg could not possibly sell to foreign countries. It was predicted that under the high tariff foreign trade would be curtailed, or possibly ruined. The chief of the bureau of domestic and foreign commerce reports that American ex- ports of manufactured commodities in 1926 were about 16 per cent ahead of 1925, and that they were some 60 per cent ahead of 1921 and 1922. They were nearly three times the annual average for five years prior to the war. | This tremendous growth testifies to the ris- ing efficiency of American industry, and ex- plodes the fallacy of the oft-repeated claim that the United States can not sell unless it Is prepared to buy in an equal or larger amount. Despite the increase in the tariff, imports from foreign countries have increased steadily every year since 1921. The increase since 1921 has been approximately 75 per cent; while im- ports in 1925 were about four times the aver- age imports during the five years before the war. This demonstrates that the tariff has no } * id i THE WASHINGTON POST: TUESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1926. _-— -—— appreciable relation to foreign commerce. The tariff holds down the sales of foreign manu- facturers in the American market, but it docs not prevent American manufacturers from ecx- tending their foreign trade. THE BUDGET STATEMENT. The annuai report’ of the budget bureau recites the story of 1926 economy and coopera- . tion in government administration. The re- port shows that the ordinary receipts of the government in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1926, were $3,962,755,690, and the ordinary expenditures, $3,584,987,873, exclusive of postoffice receipts and disbursements, For the fiscal year 1925 the ordinary receipts were $3,780,148,684,. and the ordinary expendi- tures, $3,529,643,446. The surplus at the end of the last fiscal year was $377,767,816. It is interestimg to compare the actual ordi- nary receipts for 1926 with the estimate printed by the budget bureau in November, 1925. The total actual receipts were about $82,000,000 in excess of the predicted estimate then made, while the actual ordinary expenditures were about $34,000,000 less than the amount of expenditures predicted by the bureau. Consid- ering the uncertainties of both receipts and expenditures, this prediction, made nearly a year ago, is remarkably accurate. The total reduction of the public debt during 1926 was $872,977,572. Between 1 and 1926, the period of the budget, the surplus has aggregated more than $1,757,099,000, which has been applied to.a reduction of the public debt, reducing the annual interest charge approximately $80,000,000. 99 ~~ WHEAT PRICES, Prospects of a larger wheat crop. have caused a sag in the market. It is estimated that the United States crop will be about 172, 000;000 bushels larger than last year, while the world supply, outside of Russia and China, will be about the same as last year. While prices in the United States markets are sharply lower than last year, the world wheat price as reflected in the Liverpool market is at practically the same level as last year; which would indicate that the Liverpool price does not always control the price in the United States. The Canadian wheat crop is reported to be smaller than last year, which may offset the increase in the United States. Viewed from any angle, the price of wheat in the United States is determined by demand and supply in the American markets. Large imports of Canadian wheat are bound to depress the price in the American markets. The tariff on wheat tends to decrease the supply in the American markets and keep up the price. Paralleling both sides between Key bridge the new Arlington bridge, a proposed 120-foot roadway will not only add much to the beauty of the city, but will also provide a hitherto unavailable opportunity to examine the historical and charming vistas with which the Potomac abounds. The fine arts commission is at work at the present time formulating plans for the twin driveways, and to the commission is being given the co- operation of the Arlington Memorial bridge commission, the National Capital park and planning commission, and the Rock Creek and Potomac park commission. Starting at the District end of Arlington bridge, the roadway will run parallel with the left side of the river, across Rock creek to Key bridge, thence across Key bridge, and parallel with the right side of the river tv Arlington bridge. It will continue past the western bridgehead, however, to the proposed Mount Vernon boulevard, another 120-foot roadway, which when completed, probably by 1932, will continue along the Potomac, through Alexandria to Mount Vernon. At Twenty- first street, on the Washington side, the road- way will connect with the Rock creek and Potomac parkway. The system of park highways is being ex- tended in a satisfactory manner. It is to be hoped that before long Washington will have all its parks linked together into one great system. of the Potomac in Georgetown and 3 4 The next session of Congress will probably be asked to increase the salary of the District commissioners to $10,000 a year. This seems little enough remuneration for the service per- formed. Certainly the increase asked for, amounting to but $7,500 for all three com- missioners, will not bankrupt the Treasury, and the increased salaries will more closely approximate the worth of the position. Since, until recently, the pay of the commissioners was on a par with that of congressmen, there should be little opposition to bringing it to the same level again. In 10,128 manufacturing establishments surveyed by the Department of Labor in July, there were 2,975,690 employes receiving wages amounting to $76,919,002. Both the number of employes and the wages received were larger this July than in July, 1925. SS All officeholders are advocates of vacations as a human necessity. Modern young people are as hard to under- stand as their parents. ‘The Worst Story I Heard : Today—By Will Rogers The Worst Joke I heard today was told to me by another Englishman. Did you éver hear an English Joke? Well, hang on to your seats; we are going over a cliff. A man lost his wife. Her body was borne to the grave by friends and neighbors, the husband walking behind the coffin with his face set in a melancholy cast. The gate of the Churchyard was very narrow and the Coffin was jarred against the gatepost. From the interior of the Coffin came a hallow groan. Instantly there was a great commotion, the lid was torn off the coffin and the Doctor was sent for. As a result the wife completely re- covered from the attaek of catalepsy which had been mistaken for death and was restored to her husband. She lived for ten years be- fore dying again. Once again they bore her body to the grave, with the husband walking slowly behind. Just as they neared the graveyard he stepped for- ward and said to the’ pallbearers in a most anxious tone, “Boys, mind that gatepost.”’ (Copyright, McNaught Syndicate, Inc.) ae ‘ wa \ \ Yay - ae “a "EXPERIENCE HAS — TAUGHT ME THERES ALWAYS A LOT OF CHAFF IN THIS” KIND OF STUFF.

The critic states that ‘the rooms at $12.50 per month probably will not be attractive. This argument, even if authentic, would not deter some of the govern- ‘(ment workers, who in years past had the experience of vainly trying to secure a decently clean room in a respectable house for less than '$30 without board. When one goes room-hunting, he is shown many ‘rooms in which he could not self- ‘respectingly abide overnight, for which $40 per month rental is asked.

DUSTED MAYOR MlosING IN STEUBENVILLE FIGHT Coup to Retain Control Through His Assistant Seen After Enforcement Row. POLICE HEAD SUSPENDED ~ Steubenville, Ohio, Aug. 16 (By A. P.).—Municipal affairs here were badly complicated tonight as a result of the disappearance of Mayor John S. Patton and attacks upon the legality of the suspension today of Police Chief Blaine Car- ter. Mayor Patton dropped from sight today just before Common Pleas Judge Jay S. Paisley issued an or- der suspending the mayor and the chief. Many see in the mayor’s disappearance an attempt at a coup whereby he might retain contro] through Justice Gavin, whom Pat- ton named to act for him during his absence, and still evade service of the suspension notice. The suspension followed filing of «the county supervisors to remove) ‘““signboards along the roads and | ‘“pledged its support. Richard L. Eacho, of Ashton ; Heights, narrowly escaped serious “injury last night when the steering “gear of his automobile locked, caus- ing the car to turn over, throwing «Mr. Eacho to the ground. *. Mr. Eacho, who was returning to ‘his home, had reached Hatfield sta- -tion when the accident occurred. “He was taken home in a passing ‘automobile, having received slight *pruises. His car was wrecked. ’ ‘ *: Plans for the second annual con- «vention and carnival of the Arling- “ton - Fairfax Counties Volunteer +Riremen’s association in West Falls ;Church September 9, 10 and 11 "were completed at a meeting of the “executive committee in the offices of “General Chairman Walter U.

The situation the con- tention of one faction that Gavin is without authority to act for the mayor. Acting on this line, Dr. E. J. Sander, president of the council, announced late today he would as- sume the chief executive’s duties. The ministerial association will back Dr. Sander, it was announced. Chief Carter’s suspension aroused doubt concerning its legality, since, it was pointed out, there is‘no one lacting as mayor who is known to be legally empowered to appoint a successor. ENGLAND DISTRESSED BY KITCHENER “HOAX” (CONTINUED FROM national hero. These doubts should finally be set at rest after today’s revelations. Police later Frank Power, originator of the hoax. Power’s real name is de- clared to be Arthur Vectis Freeman, and he is said to have been a stu- dent of criminology. He has al- ready admitted in his last press statement made yesterday, that al- though he began his investigation in a bona fide spirit, into the sink- ing otf H. M. S. Hempshire, on which Kitchener was voyaging when he perished, he later had ac- cepted an offer from a moving pic- ture promoter, with a view to re- couping himself for the heavy ex- penses of his investigation. Power, however, tonight declared in a statement to the Press associa- tion that he was much surprised to read that the coffin within the case was empty. The Scotland yard authorities, he went on, informed him that he would not be wanted today and that he could keep an appointment in the country. Before he went he visited the Lambeth mortuary and tried to get in, he said, but the au- thorities ignored his request to be present. What the view the authorities will take of the affair is not known, but Power’s strange activities are the subject of general denunciation by the newspapers. Not in many a year has England been so shocked and distressed, for the memory of the great soldier is held sacred in every household in the land. “ven while the coffin was resting in the mortuary, sur- rounded by sacred emblems and treated with all respect, some of the newspapers attacked Power’s action. The Daily Mail declared: “It is a ghoulish act thus to exploit the fame of one of the greatest of Eng- land’s soldiers.”” And the Morning Post said: “It is repugnant to de- cent feeling that the disinterred coffined remains of the dead should be carried about here and there ‘at a private personal’s caprice and without any sanction of authority. If the dead were without. note the offense would be rank.” Apparently nobody dreamed of the contingency that the coffin would, as the home office states, be absolutely empty. Leading members of the. Kitch- ener family, when questioned, said, according to thé Westminstet Ga- zette, that they desired to make ho cominent on the affair.

The concrete floor of the new mu- nicipal swimming pool will be laid today, and the pool will be com- pleted and ready for the formal opening by the last of this week, according to City Manager Paul Morton. After today practically the only work to be done will be the touching up of the concrete. G. H. Reed, superintendent of parks and forestry of Lynchburg, visited the pool yesterday and made several suggestions to Man- ager Morton for its operation, based n his experience with the mu- nicipal swimming pool in Lynch- The equipment of the local pool, according to Mr. Reed, is as modern and up to date as any he has seen. The name for the pool, sugges- tions for which were requested from the public by Mr. Morton, has not yet been announced, although it is understood many appropriate names have been suggested. Its construction was made possible through a donation of $10,000 made by Leopold Ruben, retired business man. More than 300 delegates, it is ex- pected, will attend the meeting of the Virginia State Association of Realtors, to be held here October 7, 8 and 9, and members of the lo- cal board are now formulating plans for the entertainment of the visitors. Considerable time, it is understood, will be devoted to dis- cussion of the real estate conditions in Arlington county, the new memo- rial bridge, Mount Vernon boule- vard and other improvements con- templated in this section of the State. . Work on the hard-surfacins of the River road has been completed from its junction with the Fort Humphreys road at the south end of Hunting Creek bridge to Hollin hall, and the entire stretch of road, which will be 5% miles in length, will be completed by the end of this week. The cost of the work will be ap- proximately $19,700, of which $14,000 was raised by subscripticn among the residents of the section, the balance being supplied by the State highway commission. Mack Gray, whose home is at New Alexandria,:and who is em- ployed at the Belle Haven Gol? & Country club, reported to police headquarters that he had been held up and robbed of his pay envelope containing $30, while walking en upper King street late Saturday night. Gray declared he had been accosted by two coolred men, one of whofn held a pistol aimed at his face while the other took his money.

MONTGOMERY 6. 0. P. TO DESIGNATE MEN FOR COUNTY TICKET Only Two File Certificates of ‘Candidacy for November Election. STATE LAW PROVIDES . FOR FILLING PLACES Samuel Lewis Seeks Demo- cratic Nomination for Chief Judgeship. MONTGOMERY COUNTY BUREAU OF THE WASHINGTON POST, ROCKVILLE, MD. There is understood to be a strong probability that the Repub- lican State central committee for Montgomery county will be called upon to select the Republican can- didates for most of the numerous county offices to be filled at the November election. The time for filing with the su- pervisors of elections certificates of candidacy expires at 12 o’clock next Tuesday night. Up to this time but two Republicans—Capt. Frank L. Hewitt, of Silver Spring, for the State senate, and Richard C. Drum-Hunt, of Bethesda, for county treasurer—have complied with such preliminary. Neither Capt. Hewitt nor Mr. Drum-Hunt is expected to have op- position for the nomination they seek, and if such proves true they will be certified by the supervisors of elections as the nominees of their party and their names will not appear on the primary election ballot. It is believed to be doubtful if there will be any others to file for any of the nominations. In such an event, the State central commit- tee will, as provided by the pri-' mary elections law, name the can- didates for the other places on the ticket. If the State control committee is confronted with the necessity of naming candidates, a conference of members of the party from all parts of the county will, it is thought, be called to consider the question of candidates and the committee will follow the wishes of its conference. Samuel Lewis, formerly State’s attorney: for Frederick county, visit- ed Rockville yesterday and filed with the supervisors of elections a certificate of his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for chief judge of the Sixth judicial circuit, composed of Montgomery and Fred- erick counties. Judge Hammond Urner, ificumbent, recently filed as a candidate for the Republican nomination. A contest between the two at the November election seems certain, as neither is expected to have opposition in the primary. W. Jett Lauck, of Chevy Chase, was the principal speaker at the bi- weekly meeting of the United Dem- ocratic Law Enforcement clubs of Montgomery county, held in the Modern Woodmen hall, Laytons- ville, last night.

Danville, Va., Aug. 14.—Hughes Memorial school was dedicated by the Virginia grand lodge of Ma- sons today, with Worshipful Ben. W. Beach, of Danville, presiding. Hundreds heard the eulogy of the school’s founder, the late John E. Hughes, tobacco dealer, by the Rey. B. R. Lacy, of Richmond, presi- dent of the Theological seminary.

Baltimore, Aug. 16.—Mrs. The- resa Messler, mother of Margaret “Tiger Lil’’ Whittemore, at the grave of Richard Reese Whittemore today called the curses of heaven upon the executioners of the bandit. Those who took his life are mur- derers. Thousands heard her im- promptu address, made after she suddenly had inquired at the ceme- tery whether there was any objec- tion to her speaking. She was greeted by silence when she said: “I hope his spirit will come ‘be- tween the lips of the men responsi- ble for this murder and the lips of their wives, inasmuch as they did. not permit Reese to kiss his wife good-by. They have taken his life and I hope they are satisfied. They put a rope around his neck and broke it, but they could not break his spirit, even at the end. “These men who did not let him kiss his wife goodbye showed what kind of dogs they are.. Their cruel- ty must have made the angels weep. I am an old lady and not much on making speeches, but this comes from the bottom of my heart.” Thousands of roses and other flowers were showered upon the grave from all over the east, in- cluding Philadelphia, New York and Buffalo.

The Charleston is none too pop- ular on the stage.

If the cake remains in the cake box for an unusual length of time, and is too dry to use again as a cake, a chocolate sauce can be made, and the cake used as a pud- ding.

TO BOOST MEMBERSHIP Lodge Will Spend $50,000 in National Campaign; to Ask Leper Aid. SANITARIUM IS DEFEATED Chicago, Aug. 16 (By A. P.).— The supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias in the final session today of its thirty-fourth biennial conven- tion, appropriated $650,000 for ex- tension work. .Under the adminis- tration of Richard S. Witte, of Mil- waukee, Wis., the new supreme chancellor; Alva Lumpkin, of Co- lumbia, S. C., the new supreme keeper of records and seal, it was indicated, an organization will be created ‘‘to sell Pythianism.”’ The Pythians have lost more than 100,000 members during the past four years, and the publicity cam- paign was devised to bring back the old members and interest new ones. A further step toward preparing new material for Pythians was seen in the recognition of the Princes of Syracuse, as a junior subsidiary, along the lines of recognition of the Order of Demolay by the Masons. The Princes of Syracuse at present consists of 24 lodges and approxi- mately 1,200 members. Leper relief, which provided a subject for extensive debate throughout the week of the conven- tion, finally was disposed of by the a.option of a resolution providing that the matter should be directed to the attention of the next Con- gress. The Pythians would lend their moral support to a movement looking toward alleviating the suf- fering of itepers. Selection of a committee to present the matter was left to Chancellor Witt. The Pyth- lans determined not to construct a national tuberculosis sanitarium in the West. Mrs. Ada Belle Onion, of Dallas, Tex., newly elected head of the Pythian Sisters, went to Milwaukee for a celebration planned in honor of the new chancellor. Alimony Arrears Charged. Howard L. McCoy, 2022 F street northwest, was cited yesterday by Justice Bailey in equity court .to appear Friday and show cause why he should not be committed to jail for alleged failure to pay alimony to Mrs. Jessie J.

If you are one of those sour males who proclaim marriage as woman’s game then you probably will agree that the woman’s bureau of the Dis- trict. police department is well named. For, despite the frailties of men —of course, men are to blame for most of the defective marriages which are brought under the eyes of the women police in their daily work, the woman’s bureau has grad- uated several of its force from Miss Policewoman to Mrs. Private Citi- zen. Eleven young women who came to the bureau to be policewomen, wearing the title miss, have left the bureau and the police force to be- come wives of educators, lawyers, engineers, salesmen, doctors and farmers. , Of the 21 policewomen now con- stituting the force of policewomen, 8 are or have been married, includ- ing Mrs. Mina C. Van Winkle, po- lice lieutenant and chief of the bu- reau, who returned to public life following the death of her husband several years ago, and who organ- ized the woman’s bureau under the regime of the late Maj. Raymond Pullman, as superintendent of the police force of Washington. What romance may cost her in the loss of trained personnel. in the future, Mrs. Van Winkle refuses to estimate, beyond the statement that she intends to remain a widow for the rest of her life. For her part, Sergt. Rhoda Milli- ken, slim, bobbed-haired, and chief assistant to Mrs. Van Winkle, de- clares she never is going to ‘be a widow, no matter how long she lives. She intends to remain a miss. She has, she admits, met several men she thought handsome, but they failed to cause any flutter in her heart. But the other policewomen and clerks in the bureau have left the door of the future open. One of the former members of the bureau, Sarah Tilghman, now Mrs. George Hughes, of Dallas, Tex., is practicing law there with her hus- band, under. the. firm. name. of Hughes & Hughes. They were mar- ried here one day while the court was taking its usual luncheon re- cess. When Mr. Hughes met his fiancee in the corridors of the court- house, where she had gone to testify in a case on trial, he felt perhaps that he mihgt never have another such opportunity, so he took hold of her hand and marched her off from Mrs. Van Winkle and the others to Col. Kroll, who gives legal authority for marriages in the District. They returned when court convened and Miss Tilghman announced that she was Mrs. Hughes. Marian Bridwell, another police- woman, was a young widow. She took a vacation to visit her mother at their home in California, and had informed the bureau of the date of | her return when she changed her mind and became Mrs. F. Robertson Williams, of San Francisco, and sent back to Washington wedding announcements instead of returning. The former Irma Wann, now Mrs. John Peter Buwaldi, of Pasa- dena, Calif., where her husband is head of the school of technology of Pasadena, now is the mother of two fine babies, pictures of whom grace the living quarters of the woman’s bureau and Mrs. Van Win- kle’s home here.

Paris, Aug. 16.—Americans all over Paris are chuckling to them- selves over an incident that hap- pened today near St. Cloud, which the French newspapers are re- fraining from printing. A tourist car full of people had been held on the road in a traffic jam -just outside St. Cloud, and some roughneck youngsters started to jeer and«call out ‘‘rotten AMEeT- | games icans’’ and other remarks about Americans in general. One of the youngsters threw a brick that hit a man in the bus. The victim immediately replied with a bottle of red wine, which smashed against the wall, not doing any harm. But it was enough to start a free-for-all, and soon everybody was thoroughly beating up every- body else. Suddenly it was decided that the Americans spoke wonderful French, for foreigners and when the battle began to slacken, owing to the fact that mearly everybody was hors de combat, not a single American was found in the melee. The bus car- ried merely a group of employes from a small factory on their an- nual outing.

And women, on and off the Stage, find that by using the right ‘hair-wash, any style of bob is made ‘much more effective. The best way to bring out the natural beauty of the hair is to Shampoo it with Canthrox. This is a simple, inexpensive shampoo which can be obtained at any drug- gist’s. Simply dissolve a teaspoon- ful in a cup of hot water and apply it all over the head. Results will be delightful because your hair will be so soft, fluffy and never streaked. It dries quickly and is easy to do up. Canthrox also stimulates the scalp so that the hdir is healthy, free from dandruff as well as dirt and excess oil. It costs only about three cents a shampoo.——Adv. EDGEMOOR .

Ruth Welles, young, pretty and very am- bitious, applies for a position as secretary to Peter Barton, a distinguished New York lawyer. The fact that Ruth is taking #®™ night school course in law and also her direct business-like manner make an excelent im pression on the lawyer, and he engages her at once. Harry Davis, a young man from Ruth's home town, who fs in love with her. is likewise in the employ of Barton and it was through him that she learned of th position. Ruth likes Harry but she is de- termined on a suceessful business career rather than marriage. She is sharing an apartment with two sisters, Edna Mathews. who works in a downtown bank, and Hattir Mathews, secretary to a great criminal law- On the evening of the day when Ruth secures the new joh Masie Andrews comes to see her. Masie formerly occupied the apart- ment with the girls but left after a quarr:) with Ruth over Riccardo Martinez, an ad- mirer of Masie's. She has learned that her jealousy was unfounded and the two girls resume friendly relations. She says she has become a chorus girl and is living alone in her apartment. Ruth warns her against Mar. tinez. However, the following Saturday after- noon Ruth goes to call on her and finds that Martinez has a key to the apartment. Menan- while, Ruth has commenced working for Bar- ton and likes him immensely. She learns that his sister wants him to marry a certain little French countess. She also meets his mother, who treats her rather snobbishly. CHAPTER IV. “SOME FLOWERS.” OOD morning, Welles!’’ Peter. Barton had come in. a little later than usual. He found her in her small, neat pri- vate office which adjoined his own. *“‘“Good morning, Mr. Barton!” For a moment she glanced at him with shining, violet-blue eyes. ‘“Lovely ees!’ thought Barton; and, with a start of utter @stonish- ment at his own power, or lack of observation: ‘‘Lovely girl! Funny I never noticed it before!’’ She bent to her work. He looked down at her; saw the soft curve of her neck. Then his eyes traveled to the pretty bouquet of flowers op her desk. Harry brought them to her, fresh every morning, although he could ill afford the expense and although it meant coffee and rolls for breakfast for him. Barton touched the flowers with an idle finger. He had noticed them on other mornings, but the fact of their being there had made no impression on him. Today it did: and he spoke before he thought: “Who brings them to you?” “Mr. Harry Davis,’’ Ruth repliec sedately, hiding a little smile. “Oh, yes—Mr. Davis—old friend of yours, isn’t he!”’ ‘Ves. We were boy and girl to- gether in the same town—-grew up side by side. He knows I love flow- Rarton thought how clever she was: no downcast glance, no tac- itly embarrassed admission of a “suitor;’’ put a quick and quiet and dignified imputing, by indirection, yer. b & Miss lof Davis’ interest in her. He smiled rather boyishly. “You and Davis must have quite s lot in common,” he suggest+. ‘‘Home gossip, eh?”’ At that moment Harry’s blonde head was thrust through the door, His quick:' “Ruth dear!"’ died on his lips as he saw. his emplyer. He muttered an apology and withdrew while Barton remarkeé‘l casually: “T have some important letters to dictate, Miss Welles. Will yeu come to my office in about twenty ninutes?” He left. Sitting at his desk, he onered the mail marked ‘Confident'.!.’ There was a letter from his sister, Mrs. Meredith Dexter, now ct Hot Springs. It was a gossipy, cheer- ful little note enclosing, by malice or forethought, a snapshot of ler friend, Annette Comtesse d2 Lor- raine, who was with her. He looked at the picture werd tossed it on his agesk. A moment later it dropped on the floor. He did not notice it. He shrugged his shoulders. He was not a womin- hater by any means. But. in ¢ Too many women had run after h'm, chiefly mothers with marriageaosle aaughters. He pushed the rest of nis ¢r- respondence aside and pondered. taking stock of himself. Why, he asked himself, was he coming to the office every day with sO much more zest and acute, per- sonal interest than he used to? Yiy did he look forward to his office even on the dullest days, when the work was more or less dry-as-dust routine. Why ? There was a knock at the door. Ruth entered. He pulled himself spoke curtly: “Take aletter, please, ‘Mrs. Meredith Dexter, the Homestead, Hot Springs—My dear Nelda gigs Ruth wrote steadily. “Anything else, Mr. Barton?” ‘“‘No, thank you.”’ She saw the snapshot on the floor; picked it up; involuntarily looked at it. “Pretty, you think?’ asked Bar ton. “Very pretty.”’ ‘“Well,”’ he snapped back, don’t think she’s pretty at all!’’ He turned to his work. “That’s all, Miss Welles.”’ She went back to her own of- fice, wondering why he had been so brusque. She looked with sud- den distaste at the innocent bou- quet on her desk, and when Harry came in—she had promised to lunch with him—asked him to bring her no more flowers. “Why not?” “It makes me conspicuous.” a “It does, Harry. lunching . together. gossip.” “IT never heard of anything more silly in my life.” “We work in the same office—” “That’s no reason. No law against eating lunch in congenial company, is there?” “I’m not going to argue, Harry. But I’m telling you.” “I know why. You’re tired of me!” “Im not!” “Yes—you are!” “No—no! Only—oh—I told you— we're in the same office—people talk—” “I hate lunching alone.” “Well—take Hattie. She doesn’t work very far from here.” She had said it half in jest, but Harry was quick to pick up the re- mark. “Oh—now I get you!” he growled, striding rudely ahead of her into the elevator. “Wishing me on _ your friends, are you? All right!” He was now thoroughly angry. “Just as good fish in the sea as—know the rest of the proverb, don’t you, Ruth?” ““Needn’t try to make me jealous!” she laughed. But he did try. For that night, when she re- turned from the theater where she had gone with Dot Carson, Hattie said to her in a mixture of defiance and embarrassment: “Harry called up. . Asked me to go to lunch with him tomorrow. Do you mind, Ruth?’”’ “Why should I mind?” Ruth, suppressing.a smile. ““Well—I thought—the way he and you are—you—you mightn’t like—’’ “I’ve told you before that I claim no property rights where Harry is concerned.”’ “Even so—when another girl—’’ “I’m no dog in the manger!”’ laughed Ruth, putting her arm ebout Hattie and giving her a friendly hug. ‘‘Go and lunch with him all you want to. But—~-” shak- ing a warning finger—‘‘remember —Harry is a serious young man!” And then both girls laughed—the way girls do when no men are about. So there were no more tete-a- tete luncheons between Harry and together; “TJ And—no more People _ talk, replied Make your heating — 1 contracts now “STANDARD FURNACE OIL “STAN DARD” DISTILLATE For any FUEL OIL type burner, in any quantity. Stock and equipment adequate for any demand - Best Ruth; and no more flowers on the latter’s desk; and Barton noticed ' it. For, a day or two later, he asked her: **‘What has become of your morn- ing bouquets? I hope, Miss Welles, that nothing I said—’”’ ‘“‘Yes—and no!"’ she interrupted, facing him frankly. ‘You see, Mr. Barton, I’ve known Harry Davis so long—’’ “Well,” he interrupted with a sudden, teasing little smile that softened his cold, handsome aqui- line features—‘‘that’s no reason why he.should, or shouldn’t, bring you flowers!”’ . Ruth joined in his smile; but continued seriously: “Of course I see a great deal of him. The girls with’ whom I live like him immensely. And, after all, I am grateful to him. For ‘he helped me to get this position. But, being in the same office with him, [ feel it isn’t-—oh--right nor busi- nesslike to parade our friendship.”’ “You two are friends, aren’t you?” “Oh yes. But—’” “Only after business hours?” he laughed. friendly with him! I’ve lost more than one good private secretary by that dreadful institution called holy matrimony—and I’m begin- ning to get as suspicious as a Mid- Victorian chaperon.’”’ “You needn’t worry—in my case!’’ she said, with a toss of her small head. “Glad to hear it! And—’’ turn- ing to go-——‘‘I am sorry about the flowers.

A conversation which left both feeling, him vague- ly and her more clearly, that some gap had been bridged in_ their knowledge and understanding of aach other. Peter Barton’s step was light as he turned toward his car that night. For some seemingly incongr13::5 reason which he refused to annlyze, he wondered at the increasinz sense of boredom with the people ne knew, chiefly with the youag debutante whom, dutifuliy, le took out to dinner so and so oft2n and with whom he danced at rxri- vate houses and supper clubs. “cr weeks now his evenings and nights had seemed like so many hopeless yawning, black spaces to be filled in somehow, as quickly as possiiec, until he could return to his office in the morning. SE | himself, ‘‘that I am becoming daliy more and more absorbed i1 my business?”’ His brain asked the question Vaguely, his heart knew to answer. But his brain would no: listen to his heart. For he was Peter Barton. When Ruth came to work a dav or two later she found that Barton had been in very early, ahead of everyone, except the office boy who told her: “The boss left word to tei: you he’s gone ty Washington on Dbu:zi- ness.” Ruth felt disappointed. Lut sta told herself that there was plenty of work to do, even in his absence So she sat down at her desk to look at the mail—and saw that, in the small glass vase which she had not yet taken home, two roses were showing glorious, crimson. dewy heads, She starec at them, angry.

She ‘had hardly seen him since their small quarrel, and Hattie had told her only last night that she was iunching with him almost every ‘day. Presently her anger disappeared, The roses were so lovely, so sweet; and so, when Harry passed through her room with some papers meant for Barton’s desk, she stopped him: “You shouldn’t have done it, Harry! Still—they are gloriousi"’ “Shouldn’t have done what, Ruth? And who's glorious?” “The flowers! The roses!’’ **Roses?’”’ “Don't play the innocent! There!’’——she pointed at the vase. He shook his head. “I didn’t send them,” he said. ‘““You—”’ she stammered—“you didn’t-—Who then—?”’ “Don’t you play the innocent, Ruth! I’ve been to Barton’s sum- mer house—on pbuvriness. He showed me his garden. I know these roses—none like them in taie town! Barton grows them!”’ And he walked out of the office and slammed the door.

Conduct and Common Sense ‘HOW TO ENTERTAIN FOR A DAUGHTER. By Anne Singleton. OFTEN have questions to answér I from anxious mothers about suitable ways to give parties for still more anxious daughters. One of the chief troubles seems to be the desire of the mother, who has /no especial social training, to efface herself and leave both the burden and pleasure of entertaining to the; daughter. Now, this is natural enough if you consider the circum- stances of most of the families who make these inquiries. The older people have tried to advance ithe younger ones, or to give them the means of advancing them- selves, in the social scale. The elders are tired and timid, and |want the younger ones to enjoy | most advantages without them. Father may not be able to consider conversation as anything but a ‘strain upon sober-minded intellects. |Mother’ may feel uncomfortable | presiding at her own table, or in her own house at all. I have, or I should have, 8ympathy for them if they follow their own wishes matter and be content. But they won't. They want to be comfort- able in their way. and what they call ‘“‘correct” in the highest social sense. This is not possible. Men and women of the world stay at the heads of their own houses. They have entertainments for daughters, but they give in them. ple playing hosts and hostesses in the most informal occasions. If women outside the social ciscta'| want to behave like women inside, | they must not be afraid to take their | proper places in their houses, and their daughters must not be afraid to let them. If they are afraid. or uneasy, then let them give the’ parties as they please and have a. pleasant time after their own fadsh-| lon. Why not? They have some right and reason on their side. But. they ever smart for mothers and fathers to be ciphers at home. * (Copyright, 1926, by Vogue.) JUST FOLKS By EDGAR A. GUEST THE CHILD WORLD.

HE old-time advertisement of | hair. tonics consisted ofa bunch of Yadies, some of whom were bald and others who displayed haif from 4 to 6 feet long. That style of advertising lost its selling power when people got wise to the fact that it was fiction. One short- coming of fiction is that it must stick moderately close to probabili- ties, «swhereas fact is free to go the limit in the field of improbability. I am convinced of the possibili- ties in the line of growing hair. Ob- servations of the hair of negroes, under treatment for the removal of kinks, has convinced me. I don't think I ever knew of a negro woman failing to take the kink out of her hair if she went at the job seriously and persisted. Some of them use one patent kink remover. Some another. Results are equally good, which ever one they use. I have seen colored girls get on the the noon meal serv- and stay at it until combing, brushing and greasing. Which remedy was used was merely an inconsequential detail. What counted was the daily prolongéd, combing, brushing and greasing. The result, in every case that I know of, is the conversion of short, flat hairs into shiny, wavy, abun- dant hair several inches to several feet in length. Whether or not the flattened hair shaft has been made round I have never seen demonstrated under the mircroscope, but I do know that the hair can be combed straight, that it remains straight and that in luster and apparent thickness and vigor it is a better article than that of the white. These observations make me be- lieve in treatment. If {done what it is plain they have, 'then other people can improve the! hair crop. Now, then, it is not It every day in externally combing and greasing. Will they do it? Probably not. Too much trouble.

By Viola Paris. | | HERE was once, I believe, a = S QZ 'T prejudice against bobbed hair | | for older women. But no |longer does the flapper usurp all |the rights and | hair. And, indeed, far progressed in versatility that it can no more be said to be either unbecoming or undignified, even to quite elderly women. To be sure, circumstances alter ' cases. There are many grand- mothers whom we prefer to see keep their long hair exactly as it is. |On the other hand, there can be an |exquisite charm in the shorn white (or gray head. Especially is this | true if the features and figures are not heavy, and if the face has a : certain youthfulness and delicacy. The straight boyish haircut is in- appropriate and unbecoming to most women whose hair has turned. Gray or white hair seems to demand a soft wave—-nothing too set, but a / natural-looking curl. It often helps |to arrange the longer locks at the front and sides so that they do not really give the impression of a bob. One well-known coiffeur in *New York has originated a particularly | dignified cut; it is fairly long at the sides and is waved softly back over ‘the ears. At the back, it is shingled, and the hair is then brushed from “almost any-| either side toward the middle, so } | 8 600 ! OME of us get awfully tired of Ss the war between blondes and brunettes, because we aren't ‘either. We're the vast army of '“in-betweens."? We have brown hair, rather lightish.

The first answer is, ‘cerns itself with this sketch, which thing that isn’t too striking.”’ The ;|that there is a_ straight line of second, more particularized, con-. slightly overlapping ends down the back of the head. Very becoming, also, to the older women, is the swir! of hair from one side to the other (usually from left to right) across the back. In this softly over the temples and ears-—— not necessarily with a bobbed ef- fect—and the back hair is softly curled and brushed from one side to the other. In this case, all the hair is allowed to grow much longer than in the regulation boyigh bob. ‘shows a smart two-piece dress of beige lace that might serve both for afternoon and for informal dinner wear. If we chance to be brown- eyed, an amber choker will be most becoming. In any case, a hat in beige milan with brown trimming anda pocket book to match this darkSr shade will be successful. Shoes may be beige or brown. The hat, by the way, is called ‘“‘the new Paris” and ig distinguished by the deep fold | , across the center.

- JUMP $60,000,000 ~ FIRST HALF OF YEAR Class 1 Carriers Expected to Earn Full Dividends Al- lowed by Law. LABOR HAS ITS EYES ON PROFIT eubipcamtiase Higher Wiese or nities in Freight Rates Probably Will Follow. By WILLIAM P. HELM, Jr. Railroad earnings thus far in “926 have run away with the profits. During the first half of 1926. class 1, carriers, or those doing 1 business amounting to more than $1.000.000 a vear, increased their net profits by about $50,000.- 000 over the banner fitst-half period of 192 As a whole, class 1 railroads probably will earn just about as much as the law allows them to earn this year. Many in- divid“al roads will exceed the pre- seribed 1ate of 5°34 ner cent aliowed by the government ,and will turn part of their excess earnings into the Federal treasury. Net income available for pre- ferred and common stock dividends in 1921 amounted to less than $314.000,000 for all class 1 car- riers. Scores of the carriers wrote their earnings in red ink during that troubled vear of depression. For 1926, at the present. and “rospective rate of net earnings, about $775.000,000, is is estimated, will be available for dividends— about two and one-half times as -much as five years ago. Lower Rates or Higher Wages. If the present increasing pros- perity is maintained for a year or two more. the day will be at hand for lower freig ht rates. Either that or a higher wage scale. There undoubtedly will be a large surpius available for one or the other if the present mounting tide of traffic con- tinues to rise. Thus far in 1926 the volume of traffic has broken all previous records. The heaviest hauling of the year is now rising ‘o a peak which will be reached from eight ta twelve weeks hence. A sin week traffic approach- ing 1.250.000 loaded freizht cars is in ect this fali.

Railroad labor has its eye these heavy increasesin earnings. In is out with a sheaf of demands for higher wages. The railroads are on record, in Many instances, as hav- ing turned down the employes’ re- quests. Under the new way of set- tling railroad labor disputes, enact- ed by Congress last winter, the time is near when the wage question will become acute. It will not be Jong before it will be perched on the first pages of the newspapers. And while the award, whichever way it may go, probably will not be made this year, or, at any event, until late in the vear, and 1926 profits thus would be little affected by a higher wage, it seems quite possible that rail profits will be cut somewhat “y higher wages next year. If the workers get a higher wage all along the line, prospects for another cut in freight rates will dim for a time. If the workers’ wage demands are not granted, the demand for lower rates will intensi- fy as the railroads’ profits soar. Tractions Are Better Off. Even the traction companies, which constitute one of the sick groups of American’ enterprise, have rallied from their 1925 show- ing. Operating costs almost every- where have declined and small in- creases in revenues generally are noted. The average rate of cash fare demanded by electric railways in cities of more than 25,000 popu- lation during the first half of 1926 rose to 7.6946 cents on June 1 last, as compared with about 7% cents a year before, 7 cents in 1920 and a pre-war fare of 5 cents. Wage increases have been grant- ed in some cities, Dut labor-saving methods and more efficiency in op- eration have balanced this addition- al item of expense. Data made pub- lic by the American Electric Rail- way association for 200 of the larger companies show that traffic was heavier during the first five months of 1926 than for the same period of 1925. Only 3 companies |! out of the 200 showed a falling | off. In January, traffic increased .65 per cent; February, 1.15 per cent; March, 2.35 per cent; April, 1.91 per cent, and May, 1.67 per cent. The figures represent compari- sons with the same months in 1925, They are the more remarkable by reason of the fact that in 1925 each month of the five-named showed a decrease in traffic from the corre- sponding period in 1924. The tide appears to have turned definitely in favor of the trolleys in the first half of 1926. It isn’t much. of a on _ change, but such as it 1s, it indi- cates that the bottom of the depres- é a ‘es THE WASHINGTON POST: TUESDAY. AUGUST 17, 1996.

A parrakeet, which passes most of its time hanging head downward, and five bleeding-heart doves, so called because of a spot of blood- red feathers on their white breasts, were a part of the same shipment ‘ received at the zoo from Lieut.

STARS There is something to this busi- ness of writing a play around a current phrase, using its inherent meaning as theme. Barry Connors took up the well-known word “‘ap- plesauce” and made of it a delight- ful divertisement in the way of a comedy that engages the attention of the National theater players this week. Out in Chicago they raved over “Applesauce”’ for quite some time. It is & homely gathering of many truisms centered around the pivitol point of marriage and events lead- ing up to this important step in a man and a woman’s life—proposal, betrothal, or what have you? There are two fellows and a girl. Bill McAllister and Rollo Jenkins are rivals suing for the heart and hand of Hazel Robinson. Rollo is the steady-going, sturdy business man type; with plenty of cash in the bank—a success. All the other fellow, Bill McAllister, has is a lot of ‘“‘applesauce.’’ He loses the girl, never has a job, and Rollo bears frankincense and myrrh to the throne of the fair beauty; but eventually things roll round in Bill McAllister’s direction and he walks off with the prize. Of this simple ingredient, apple- sauce, Barry Conners has mixed his hokumized entertainment; but it is good all the way through, re- plete with happy situations and ex- ceedingly clever banter and bandi- nage, quaint twisting of lines and language that make for hearty laughter. After all, that is what counts most in this, the silly season. Clifford Brooke. has assembled his players in perfect order. Mrs. Hibbard and Charles Hampden are paired as the parents of the girl, played by Dorothy Tierney. Miss Tierney walks away with her part, contributing one of the best per- formances of her career. Another touch is given by Rhea Dively in a role familiar in the provinces—the disgruntled wife everlastingly com- plaining about her husband, George. John Warner and Romaine Cal- lender are the suitors, with Warner as the dispenser of ‘‘applesauce.”’ Romaine Callender is perfectly cast and so is John Warner who, rumor hath it, played the same part with the original company. Percy Win- ter comes to the fore as the hard- boiled uncle of the _ recalcitrant lover and husband, the fellow who makes good only after a long period of idleness. Of all the plays the National theater players have given this season there is none with so lighi a heart as this, ‘‘Applesauce.”” In the long run, it means nothing; yet, within its bones, somewhere, there is the marrow of philosophy. —JOHN J. DALY: MRS. GIBSON SEEN IN LANE BY WITNESS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) Brunswick millwright. He said he had driven into De Russey’s lane about 8 o’clock the night of the murder. In the automobile with him was a girl companion, whose name he would not reveal. He said he knew Mrs. Gibson and that as he was driving along the lane slow- ly, Mrs. Gibson peered into his car. He could not tell what she wore or whether she carried a light. Hb fixed the time he saw her as be- tween 9 and 10 o’clock. From the testimony of persons who heard shots fired, the State has fixed the time of the murder at 10:30 o'clock. Asked why he had waited four years to tell his story, Erling re- plied that he had desired to shield his companion. He heard no shots fired, he said, although he was within 2,000 or 3,000 feet of the crabapple tree until about .10:30 o’clock. Fred A. David, Qne of the detec- tives who investigated the mystery in 1922, testified that the coat Mrs. Hall sent to a Philadelphia dyer the day the bodies of her husband and the chorister were found, con- tained no blood spots. David, called as a State witness, gave this testimony under cross examination. A detective whom David sent to question the dyer brought back a report that the garment was care- fully examined and revealed no blood stains. A night watchman had testified he saw a woman wearing a light coat enter the Hall home the night of the murder. The coat be- fore it was dyed was a light tan. Mrs. Gibson said the woman she saw at the crabapple tree wore a light tan coat. Testimony regard three unrecog nized persons who slid down a smal! bank at the point where De Rus- sey’s lane connects with Easton ave- nue, was given by Charles Alpaugh. This witness said he was driving from New Brunswick to Somerville on the night of the murder and passed the spot about the time the murders are supposed to have been committed. He could not distinguish whether the persons were men or women. But he noticed that they were sliding toward a Dodge _ sedan parked along the road. Another car, he Said, was parked near by. James Mills; husband of the slain choir’ leader, told of events just prior to the disappearance of his wife, the two days of her ab- sence and immediately after the discovery of the bodies. He had no knowledge of intimacy between Mrs. Mills and Dr. Hall, he said. But before she left the house to tryst with Dr. Hall, Mills said he noticed some letters in her coat pocket. The coat was on a rack in a hallway, he said, and he “just glanced” at the letters. Mrs. Mills, he said, wore this coat when she was murdered. Dr. Hall and Mrs. absent Thursday. On Friday, Mills said, he met Mrs. Hall. She told him that her husband was absent. Mills then told her his wife, too, ‘had been away since Thursday eve- ning. Mrs.. Hall then remarked, Mills testified, ‘‘They must be dead.” Asked if he knew what made Mrs. Hall say this at a time when the bodies had not been discov- ered, Mills offered no conclusion,: . Increased Demand | For Wheat Forecast (By the Associated Press.) — The world’s wheat supply. this year, outside of Russia and’ China, may be close to that of last year, the Department of Agriculture esti- mated yesterday after compiling the latest forecasts of* production. The demand, it said, may be stronger than a year ago because of low stocks of old wheat, reduced supplies of rye and potatoes and short wheat crops in the Orient. Twenty-one Northern Hemisphere countries producing last year 70 per cent of the world crop, exclu- Sive of Russia and China, it is in- dicated, will produce 2,351,000,- 000 bushels of wheat, compared with 2,300,000,000 a year ago.

The mines and works of this company are located in Mexico, the mineral lands being held under title from the Mexican government and amounting to over 14,000 acres. During 1925 the cost to the company of producing refined copper from its mines, in- cluding allowance for depreciation and all charges, except depletion, was 11.90 cents per pound, while the average price received for the copper produced was about 14.21 cents per pound. The company produces about 30,000,000 pounds of copper a year. During the nine years, 1917 to 1925, net income averaged $462,- 112 annually. This was equal to an average of 92 cents per share on the capital stock. Last year’s operations were much more satis- factory than those of the previous four years, in three of which de- ficits aggregating more than $4,- 000,000 were recorded. The company has no funded or bank debt and no preferred stock is outstanding. As for dividends, there were payments from 1912 to 1920 with the exception of 1915 but there have been no payments during the last five years. (All rights reserved, Cambridge | Boston.)

The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 2 to 11 points in response to higher Liverpool cableS and reports of showery Weather in the South over Sunday.. After showing net gains of 16 to 21 points, prices reacted some- what under realizing and there-was a little forenoon selling on the first of the private mid-North crop reports. This placed the condition as of Au- gust 9 to 68.5, compared with 68.7 two weeks previously and the indicated crop at 15,787,000 bales, compared with the end- July indications of 14,- 842,000. Some traders construed this as pointing to a probable increase in the government crop indication as of August 16, commared with the figures August 1, but it was pointed out that the most serious complaints of insect activities and showery weather had been coming in since August 9, and that the condition by August 16 might have been less favorable. omperestvaly small offerings were soon absorbed and the market showed increasing strength and activity after publication of the daily weather de- tails showing showers at many points in the South. Activities further and the fear of damage froyi pests of one kind or another probably was pro- moted by claims. that supplies of polson available’ were hardly suffi- cient to meet urgent demand.

The ‘14 fact that no new financing was ar- ranged in June makes it almost certain, according to the banker’s opinion, that a new issue of at least $400,000,000 will be offered to the public on September 165. There is considerable conjecture as to the terms and interest rates of the prospective issue. Money rates have firmed up consistently in recent weeks, and this tendency was emphasized last week by the advance in the New York Federal Reserve Bank's rediscount rate from 3% to 4 per cent. Despite the hardening in rates, ample sup- plies of money remain available for all needs, and thy government is sure to command favorable terms for any new financing. The failure of the usual June financing to materialize will make the demand all the greater for new government securities. Light Trading in Market. The week’s opening session on the Washington Stock Exchange, though marked by unusually light trading. proved interesting, as bid prices throughout the list were strong and such transactions as were consummated, with one ex- ception, were recorded at fractional gains. Washington Gas Light which has not been out for several days gain- ed % of a.point to 70%. Wash- ington Railway & Electric prefer- red was firm at 91, while National Mortgage & Investment preferred picked up to 8% on a turnover of 50 shares. D. C. Paper preferred, last sold at 66, soared 14 points to 80, with a single share changing hands, while the first 6s sold at an advance of % to 86, on the bond division. Will Accept Mark Loans. Riggs National Bank has been named as the local exchange agen- cy for the acceptance of mark loans for revaluation, and applications may be obtained from this institu- tion. Back From Vacation. John B. Larner, president of the Washington Loan & Trust Co., re- turned to his desk yesterday after an extended stay at his country home near Mifflintown, Pa. Gold. Bonds Offered. Seabright & Co., are offering a new issue of $400,000 first mort- gage 7 per cent sinking fund gold bonds of the West Branch Mining Co., Inc., of Delaware. The bonds mature August 15, 1941, and are priced at 96 and accrued interest to yield 7.45 per cent. The issue will be secured by closed first mort- gage on all properties, franchises and rights of the new company, which will acquire and operate the properties and leaseholds formerly owned and operated by the West Branch Mining Co., a West Virginia corporation. Large Decrease in Casualties. One of the achievements in most remarkable accident preven- tion is shown in the Interstate Commerce Commission records in- dicating the reduction in casualties resulting from collisions, according to Lew R. Palmer, cons¢rvation en- gineer. The record shows that from 1907 to 1924 there was a reduction of 81 per cent in the number of such casualties. Mr. Palmer also points out in an analysis of the railroads’ increased efficiency, a saving of more than $116,000,000 in what is called the ‘“‘wastage account” resulting from the reduction in the number of co)- lisions, derailments azd personal injury claims. The safety section of the Ameri- can Railway association in 1924 adopted a resolution calling for a reduction of 35 per cent by the end of 1930 in the number of casual- ties. In 1925 more than 100 class 1 lines attained their two-year quota, while 30 had attained their entire 35 per cent, Prudential Mortgage Loans. Mortgage loans totaling $23,042.,- 152.50 were made by the Prudential Insurance Co: of America, during July, according to G. C. Bowie, sec- retary of H.L. Rust Co., the loan cor- respondent for the insurance com- pany in this section. Of this amount $11,831,402.50 was loaned on 2,172 dwellings and 108 apartment houses in the United States and Canada for the accommoda ion of 3,429 families and $2,343,350 was loaned on farms in various sections of the country. ~ Jn comparison with the records for last year, the Prudential’s hous- ing loanss show an increase of more than $20,000,000. The record for the first seven months of the current year discloses dwelling and apart- ment loans to a total of $77,678,- 803.40, as against $55,199,250 for the corresponding period last year. Tucker Joins Trust Company. American Founders Trust an-— nounced yesterday that Dr. Rufus: S. Tucker, chief economic analyst in the Treasury Department, had become actively associated with it as manager of its economic division. Dr. Tucker was formerly assist- ant chief of the finance and invest- ment division’ of the Department of Commerce, and {s the author of sev- eral governmental publications, of which the most important were the annual studies of the balance of — trade of the United States with for- .— eign countries.

NY Dempsey bout is bound to involve gross receipts A of about $1,500,000, and there are some very picturesque characters among those re- sourceful partisans who insist cauliflower commission has isanctioned Dempsey and Tunney, ‘and the license commission refuses The license committee consisting | to issue Dempsey a license, despite Phelan and D. Walker finally decided to refuse Dempsey:a license to fight anybody but Harry Wills. And when they were asked if they realized that the honorable Alfred Ottinger, attorney general of the State. had decided they were bound to grant the license, they said they hadn’t heard Ottinger’s ruling and what was more, didn’t want to hear it. The Messrs. Phelan and Wear are by way of being military men and are known in the corridors of the Flat Iron building where the cauli- flower exchange holds its sessions 'as the little colonels. Dooley | Tom Mangan | HEIR committee had led a fi serene and unimportant eristence until a_ short time ago, when a majority of the Cauliflower commission 1s- sued Dempsey a certificate. of official purity and sanctioned Mr. Tex Rickard’s plan to pro- mote the Dempsey- Tunney fight. Mr. James Farley, the chairman and minority member of the cauli- flower commission, had opposed the Dempsey - Tunney bout, and he seemed to be outvoted and beaten until he bethought himself of the little colonels sitting in their little office down the hall performing harmless exercises with their array of official rubber stamps. Most of these stamps bear the word “yes,” and they were used for years to ap- prove the recommendations of the cauliflower commission. Nobody ever suspected that the little colonels had a rubber stamp with the word ‘‘no”’ until Mr. Far- ley enlisted their sympathy in his fight to find employment for Harry Wills. Even the most expert of the ex- perts, including those who know the mayor personally, were reeling in a manner indicating great befud- dlement when the little colonels reached for the hitherto unused rubber stamp this afternoon and banged it down on Dempsey’s ap- plication leaving a very legible “NO” on the face thereof, Whether Dempsey will fight Tun- ney or Wills or nobody has now be- come a trivial question compared to the fact that the attorney general says the license committee is there to do the bidding of the commis- sion. The in the governing body begips to give off fumes, and it may yet be necessary to call for an investigation. And investiga- tions, as the past has demonstrated, are something repugnant to the souls of the cauliflower traders. To state ‘the matter frankly, it seems as though Tex Rickard must have refused to declare in some of the lads around Tammany Hall as | partners in his enterprise, and that ithey are whooping up the Harry Wills issue merely to prevent him from making money for himself and his firm. The Wills issue has a certain vague plausibility, and the boys could present some rather 'well-sounding arguments to the 'Messrs. Farley, Phelan‘ and Wear without ever admitting that they were inspired by any other motive than a desire to see justice done. Arthur Driscoll, a lawyer repre- senting Dempsey, waited while the little colonels worked out with their rubber stamp, and as soon as he heard that the license was re- fused he raced uptown to tell Rickard and discuss other plans. HE license committee doesn’t meet again until August 28, so it may be necessary now for Rickard to take his Dempsey-Tunney match to New Jersey or Philadelphia, or abandon it altogether. Rickard said, however, that if he couldn’t hold the fight in New York he wouldn’t promote it at all. In the present circumstances this would mean that the bout is definitely off, but circumstances dare always in a fluid state tn the prize fight business and Rickard may have other plans in 24 hours. row NATIONAL PREPS TO MEET.

Heydler’s decision to investigate the situation was made after a talk with Carey, who presented his story of the action that resulted in the disciplining of himself and his team mates after they had led an effort to oust Fred Clarke, assistant man- ager, from the Pirate bench. Carey, who came to New York this morning, previgusly conferred change in the club’s attitude toward : with Commissioner Landis, but was referred by the latter to Heydler. The league president later made iti clear he considered the affair. en- tirely a National league matter. Tomorrow’s hearing will be held at 11:30 a. m. at the William Penn hotel, Heydler said, explaining that he decided to go to Pittsburgh inas- much as those involved could be gathered together easier there.

HE final invasion of the Capital T City by clubs in the Western section of the American league starts today, with Ty Cobb’s Tigers as the Nats’ guests this afternoon. George Murray is due to get the Washington pitching assignment and it will be claimed whether or not the ‘“‘Smiler’s’’ recent three-hit game against the Yankees was a fluke or an indication of his real ability. The Jungle Cats’ visit here will] be short and sweet, limited to but two games. Thursday will be another off day for the Harrismen and then they tackle Cleveland and |St. Louis in three games each and Chicago in five battles, a doublee header being scheduled on August 26 because of a postponement here on July 15 when the White Sox were last in our midst. These thirteen games and three with Boston, one on September 5, and a twin bill on Labor day, com- plete the Nats’ home schedule for the season, as they run out the string on a road trip which starts on September 11. The four days between these dates are open ones but the chances are that President Griffith will fill them with exhibition games. —— RESIDENT GRIFFITH did not seem to be great- ly impreseed with Catcher Leo Head, of Rochester, whom he scouted at Baltimore Sun- day, as exclusively told in The Post. “‘He’s a nice little catcher, but I’m not so enthused over him,” was the Old Fox’s come ment regarding him. “In faet, I don’t believe that he is just the man we are looking for,” he concluded. While the Nat owner would go into no details indications are that the Internationals hold this young- ster too highly. With Ruel and Tate listed as regulars Washington really is looking for a promising youngster who will be eased along and ready to jump in when one of the regulars starts slipping. For some time the man wanted merely will perform in the bull-pen and the Washington club probably does not want to pay out a whole lot of money for a re- ceiver under these conditions. - - Manager Harris reported yester- day that the rest of practically a week has done his injured leg con- siderable good and that he now feels just about up to scratch, although at times he still feels little twinges of pain. He had not decided last night whether or not he would put him- self back in the line-up again today or not. “Stuffy seems to be going at a fast clip,” he stated, “and I may extend my rest for a few days, but I really don’t know.” Although the club physician seems to have properly diagnosed his case, Bucky states that he plans to have an X-ray taken just to satisfy hime self that there is nothing seriously wrong with him. Including aa: ‘nee Western trip and the. series with the Yankees and Mackmen, the Nats’ record now stands: Won, 13; lost, 11. This is just a little bit better than the team’s seasonal average.

E. Madden, G. A. Mosely, A. B. Hancock, J. G. Rives, J. H. White, T. W. Garnett, W. J. Glover, R. Meacham, B. P. Eubanks and the Adelbert stud opened the year- ling sales of the week. The young- sters were line-bred sons and daughters of Spanish Prince II., Donnacana, Captain Alcock, Zeus and other leading sires, but the 49 brought only $62,600, an aver- age of $1,277 a head. Rain in the afternoon, threaten- ing skies, and a drop in the tem- perature combined to make the gathering the smallest of the cur- rent season. With such a diminu- tive audience, it was difficult to se- cure bids so that the sale was slow and tedious, and the youngsters sold for amazingly low prices. R. A. Smith, well-known trainer, had evidently been saving up for a rainy day. After having played a rather inconspicuous part at the previous sales, he stepped into the leading role and bought no less than seven yearlings at prices ranging from $1,100 to $3,200 for a total of $16,300. He did not make the highest bid, however; that honor went to Mrs. Ambrose Clark. who took a chest- nut son of Captain Alcock—High- land Lassie for $3.700. G. R. Bry- son was another who saw the ad- vantage of buying when the bidders are few. He bought six head and added $7,000 to the evening's totals. The sales reached a new low mark when J. P.

EW YORK, Aug 16 (By A. N P.).—Little Asbestos, of G. A. Cochran’s stable, with Maiben up, captured the Catskill Claiming stakes for 3-year-olds and upward, the outstanding event at the Saratoga race track today. Montferrat was second and Mc- Auliffe third. The time for the 7 furlongs was 1:25 4-5. The race was worth $3,200. Maiben was not prepared for the start and the colt was virtually left at the post. He worked his way up gradually on the pack and got up to win by. half a length. Bottom Dollar completed the fourth race at the Lincoln Fields track, running against a smart field of 2- year-old fillies. Thirteen Sixty landed the place and Patricia Mar- ian came into show. The time for the 5% furlongs was 1:07 2-5. E. WIDENER, on behalf J. of the Westchester Rac- ® ing association, today proposed a race open to all 8- year-old colts for a purse of $10,000 added and the Presi- dent’s plate for the closing day of the Belmont card, September 14. The race would carry a sub- scription fee of $1,000, entries to close at Saratoga Springs, August 25. W. R. Coe, owner of Pompey, was anxious for such a test, as was P. T. Chinn, who represents the owners of Carlaris. There was the possibility of such filers as Macaw, Chance Play, Haste, Crusader, Mars and Flight of Time also enter- ing the race. Four Major Teams Hot After Wanninger St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 16 (By A P.).—Four major league clubs are after Lang (Peewee) Wanninger, shortstop, of the St. Paul American association club. The Philadelphia Athletics, St. Louis Browns and Chicago Cubs have had their agents here the past week watching the work of the youngster, and Brook- lyn has asked the local club for a price. Wanninger came to St. Paul in the deal that sent Mark Koenig to the New York Yankees. He is hit- ting better than .300, and his de- fensive play has been one of the features of the association season. ‘Pullmans Will Meet _ Black & White Today The Black and White and Pull- man nines without a doubt surely been getting some _ tough unlimited | breaks in the play-off for the Term- Call Lieut. | inal Railroad Y.

For over a month 16 of the play- grounds have been conducting tour- neys to decide their own 1926 championships and the winners of these will wear the colors of their home playgrounds in the coming matches for the city crown. Clara Alderton and Mildred Vogel, of Iowa Avenue playground, the 1925 champions, will not de- fend their titles this year as they have become ineligible by passing the age limit. For the convenience of the racketers, the matches will be run off in four sections until the semi- finals are reached, when the scene of battle will shift to a centrally located court. Victors in the sixteen preliminary contests who are participating in the interplayground tourney are: Chevy Chase playground, Betty Hartman and Mary Tolman; Happy Hollow playground, Priscilla Wood- ley and Katherine Pagan; George- town playground, Sadie Kiatti and Delores McKenna: Mitchell Park playground; Judith Fishburn and Louise Raff; Twin Oaks play- ground, Kathleen Stead and Antoi- nette Edwards; Phillips play- ground, Rosina Cerritti and Vernice Torney; Rosedale playground, Hel- en Streéks and Bertha Soper; New York Avenue playground, Virginia | Ryan and Margaret Moore; Gar-| field playground, Teresa Breen and Alice Brown; Hoover playground, Marie Callan and Helen Singer; lowa Avenue playground, Bessie Buchanan and Sally Ames: Bloom- ingdale playground, Bertha Ryan | and Emily Harrington: Montrose’ Ager; Plaza playground, Herbert and Elizabeth Stull: ginia Avenue playground, Ellen Totten and Phoebe Parker: and Blanche Walker.

Boys representing 49 playgrounds will compete for individual and team honors. The meet will start at 10:15 and will continue until about 2:30, when playground offi- cials hope to have the program of 20 events completed. Never before in the history of the playground department has so much interest been manifested in any of its activities. Boys number- ing about 1,200 are expected to take part, and every neighborhood in the city is to be represented. LAYGROUND officials re- P ported that dozens of tele- phone messages were re- ceived in the playground office yesterday from youngsters, or their parents, inquiring if boys who have been away from the city and have been unable to get on one of the teams may enter the meet. They were told to go to the Plaza track today and re- port to the director of the play- ground nearest their home, who will enter them in the meet. The Washington Post medals, for boys who finish first, second and third in each event, will be present- ed immediately after the last event is run off, by Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, supervisor of playgrounds. Mrs. Rhodes will also present The Washington Post cup to the team scoring the highest number of points.

P.).—Gene Tunney, heavy- weight challenger of Jack Demp- sey, took a brief respite from the ring at his training quarters here today in order to get in a few hours of road work. Lewis Fink, his trainer, decided early in the day that Tunney was in topnotch shape after four hard days in the ring, and the road work was or- dered. Not until Wednesday will the challenger -climb back into the ring, when, it was indicated by Fink, additional: partners may be on hand. Tunney is now down to 192 ‘pounds and, according to Fink, ‘‘coming along fast.’”’ Visitors to the training camp to- day found that Tunney’s black eye, which caused considerable com- ment among the thousands of per- sons here yesterday, had disap- peared. Tunney was said to have received it in a collision with Bud Gorman, one of his sparring part- ners. After nearly two weeks’ along the shores of Lake Pleasant, Tun- ney is well pleased with his quar- ters and is optimistic over his prospects of success in the battle | with Dempsey. Hartfords toM Meet Two Tough Opponents “Bill’’ Flester’s Hartford nine will have plenty of opposition in its next two games. Thursday the Hartfords will play the Mount Rainier nine on the Maryland field at 5 o’clock, and on Sunday they are scheduled to play Cherrydale in the Northern Virginia series. ‘“Bud’’ Bellman will probably twirl in both games.

Kearns declared he signed a con- tract with Rickard for the appear- ance of Dempsey in a bout with the negro on or before July 4, 1926, and that he signed another contract with Rickard for a bout between the champion and Tunney on or before October 15, 1928. In. both cases,, Kearns charges, Dempsey failed to avide by the terms of their contract. According to this contract, Kearns says in the complaint, he is guaranteed 38 ie 3 per cent of the net profits of “any and all public exhibitions, theatrical engagements, athletic entertainments and events” of any kind whatsoever.’’ known as Jack Dempsey,” and de- scribes him as a professional ath- holder of the boxing championshi of the world in a class known vision.” MOUNT RAINIERS MEBT.

Ret Public Is Warned Council Members to Meet ~ With Commissioners To- morrow Night. WILL AID IN CUTTING ESTIMATES FOR 1928 Arrangement Looked Upon as Another Step in Organiza- tion’s Advance. The citizens’ advisory council achieved another step yesterday in its steady advance in importance. It received its first invitation to sit in joint session, behind closed doors, with the district commis- sioners to consider revision of the departmental estimates for the 1928 District budget. The meeting will take place tomorrow night. Jesse C. Suter, chairman of the council, returned to the city yester- day from a vacation. He called on Lieut. Col. J. Franklin’ Bell, engineer commissioner, and asked how the council could best assist the commissioners in further con- sideration of the budget. He pointed out that the council had made a preliminary report, but had done so only in general terms and had had no opportunity to go into the details of the estimates. Now that the commissioners were faced with the task of early re- vision, having been instructed by the bureau of the budget to trim $3.500,000 out of the original es- timates, the council, Chairman Su- ter said, wanted to discharge its function of advising the commis- sioners, but didn’t know how. Will Not Reveal Details. Col. Bell told Suter that the com- missioners would hold an all-day session on the estimates tomorrow, and suggested that the council could help by conferring with the commissioners that evening. The meeting will take place at 8 p. m. in Col. Bell’s office. The only per- sons admitted will be the commis- sioners, the council members and Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, District auditor. The commissioners will not re- veal to the council members the detailed estimates they submitted to the budget bureau, nor their re- vision of those figures. They will, however, ask, in more or les$ gen- eral terms, for the views of the council members on where portions of the $3,500,000 cut may best be applied to the tentative budget. 4 Injured, 2 Badly In Traffic Accidents Two persons were injured’ seri- ously, one by a “hit-and-run” driv- er, when run down by automobiles yesterday.

McMahon in police court yesterday found Walter K. Bach- rach, of Edgemore, Md., guilty of second offense speeding and sus- pended sentence. Bachrach was charged with having driven an auto at 30 miles an hour on Connecticut avenue northwest.

THIRTEENTH PRECINGT POLICE STATION OPENED Dougherty and Hesse Attend Ceremonies and Praise Ef- ficiency of Force. FIRST PRISONER JAILED The new Thirteenth police pre- cinct station, Nicholson, near Thir- teenth streets northwest, was for- mally opened at 8 o’clock yester- day morning. High officials of the District government and police de- partment and prominent residents of the section attended the brief ceremonies. The 100 per cent efficiency, which Maj. Edwin B.

Dougherty praised, wes reflected in the work of the new force a few minutes later. -Wesley Postell, colored, the first person to be arrested, was sentenced to 300 days in jail on a charge of driving an automobile without a permit. Postell, who lives at 123 Thomas street northwest, was arrested by Motorcycle Police- man H. W. Lineburg, then of the Tenth precinct, Sunday.

Accord- ing to court records, Postel] was convicted of driving while drunk August 7, 1925, and his permit re- voked by Traffic Director Eldridge. Judge McMahon ruled that Eldridge had no right to revoke a permit is- sued by the commissioners and dis- missed the case. Assistant Corporation Counsel Walter Fowler asked that Postell be held until he could make new papers. Postell was then charged with driving without a permit and booked at the Thirteeenth precinct. He was arronged before Judge Mac- donald, who found him guilty and sentenced him to 300 days in jail. Auto of Architect, Abandoned, Burns An abandoned automobile, listed to H. H.

Dr. Gearhart was sued for limited divorce by Mrs. Ethel H.

ACT OF CONGRESS RULED GENERAL INAPPLICATION oe Cost of Land Must Not Exceed 25 Per Cent Over Its As- sessed Valuation. The District commissioners were deprived of what little chance they thought they had to buy school Sites this year by an opinion of Comptroller General J. R. McCarl, submitted yesterday, in which that Official holds that all funds, of whatever nature, appropriated by Congress for’ purchase of land for school sites is subject to the limi- tation that it may not be expended when the price of the land is more than 25 per cent of the assessed valuation. The ruling made it virtually cer- tain that Congress will be asked next winter to devise some means of freeing the District of the rem- edy it prescribed for costly land purchases. When the committees of Con- &ress were working over the school budget, a lump sum of $703,500 was included to purchase school sites and the limitation of prices to be paid was placed as a condi- tion governing expenditures under the appropriation. $154,000 Unexpended Balance. There was, however, an addi- tional sum of $154,000, an unex- pended balance left from the pre- ceding year. It had been appor- tioned for the purchase of land for an addition to the Park View school. Due to impossibility of the school and District authorities to reach an agreement with the resi- dents of the neighborhood, this sum was not reappropriated for the same school, but was named as an additional appropriation for school sites, in addition to the lump sum and the 25 per cent price restriction clause was omitted as pertaining to that appropriation. Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, District auditor, maintains that the omis- sion was intentional and that the purpose of members of the appro- priations committees of both houses was to give the commissioners an emergency fund with which to make necessary land purchases if the 25 per cent restriction should prove too onerous. He had a joint letter from the chairmen of the District sub- committees of the two houses to that effect. The auditor advised the commis- sioners that, in his opinion, the re- appropriated $154,000 was not sub- ject to the 25 per cent price restric- tion, but they sent the papers to the comptroller general for a ruling. Ruling of McCarl. When the latter official ruled ves- terday he reversed Maj. Donovan, and said: ‘It appears clear that it was the intention of the Congress in the enactment restricting the use of the appropriation for the purchase of school or playground sites that such restriction as to sites shall apply to all acquisitions of said sites under appropriations made in said act and not merely to the lump sum appro- priation of $703,500.” Every effort has been made by District and school authorities to purchase land for sites in develop- ment of the five-year school build- ing program, within the _ limit fixed by Congress, namely, 125 per cent of the assessed valuation of the land to be bought. Every effort has failed. Some proceedings in condemnation will be instituted, but it is not deemed likely that their result will be materially dif- ferent. The commissioners thought they could buy land to the extent, at least, of the $154.000 of reappro- priated money without botnering about the price Iimitation. The comptroller general’s ruling has blasted that hope. 7 Robbery Victims Report $237 Loss S23. and 9 did Petty robberies ‘nvolving in seven Washington homes business houses were reported police yesterday. In no case the amount stolen exceed $58.

Woman Recovering From Poison Dose a Mrs. Cornelia Joyce, 34 years cld, 462 K street northwest, was ro- covering in Emergency hospital yesterday from the effects of polson said to have been taken accidental- ly at her home Sunday night. Mrs. Joyce mistook the poison for medicine, police said. She was given first aid by her husband aud later taken to the hospital. Suit for Damages Dismissed. Mrs. Gertrude Lazarow, 1349 Taylor street forthwest, who sued the F. H. Smith Co., 815 Fifteenth street northwest, for $10,000 dam- ages for alleged personal injuries, dismissed her suit yesterday in cir-’ cuit court through her attorneys, Darr & Darr.
