If Gov. Smith was able to absorb one-half of one per cent of what Representative Byrns, of Tennessee, knows about the Federal appropri- ating system he can draw up the next budget without calling in Gen. Lord. The manner in which the assassin of Obregon approached his intended victim at a social function, with his hand, artfully concealed, extended in a gesture of friendship, is a strik- ing parallel to the dastardly deed done at Buffalo, on September 6, 1901, when Leon Czolgosz shot down McKinley under identical circumstances. A people whe have lost three Presidents by assassina- tions, and who recall the attempt made upon the life of Roosevelt when he was a candidate for that office, will know how to sympathize with Mexico.

ITALIA MISMANAGED, MALMGREN IS QUOTED Explorer, Later Left on Ice, Said to Have Worried Just Before Crash. Moscow, July 17 (A.P.).—Most com- prehensive plans were under way to- night for one last great attempt to rescue the six missing members of the Italia’s crew, if they still are alive, and the members of the Amundsen search- ing party, lost for more than a month |. somewhere off the Spitzbergen coast. The Soviet rescue commission in- structed the icebreaker Krassin to establish new bases from which avi- ators can hop off to search thoroughly every square mile of ice on the south, east and northeast shores of North- east Land. One of these will be at King Carl Island. where it is belieyed possible Capt. Amundsen. may have been forced down. Another base will be established farther north, if pos- sible, so that the sea northeast of Foyn Island .iay he thoroughly combed. It was near Foyn ‘sland that six of the Italia’s men, headed by Gen. Um- berto Nobile, were marooned, and it is thought possible that the “balloon party” of six may have been forced to the ice somewhere in that vicinity. Officials here were surprised at the reported decision of the Itallan rescue chiefs to terminate further searches for the lost men. It was said definite- ly that notwithstanding such a decision the Krassin and ‘er companion ship. the Maligin, would not retire until the last hope had been exhausted. Storm Delays Maligin. Stress was placed on the importance of the King Carl Island base as it was considered most likely that if any stragglers escaped from either of the missing grours they would head for that point. The Maligin today was 40 miles east of King Carl Island, but ner. progress was slow because of extensive Ace fields and a heavy storm that seriéusly im- peded navigation. The Maligin is ex- pected to skirt the southeastern shore of Spitzbergen anc to land somewhere along; that coast the aviator, Babush kin, who will engage in reconnaissance flights. After further searches the Maligin will make a course for Arch- angel, keeping a sharp lookout for traces of the Amundsen party en route. The Krassin, now en route to Advent ay for fuel and to establish a flying base, will return to Northeast Land ;3 quickly as_ possible. The aviator, Chukhnovsky will fly in every direc- tion from the base to be established there and perhaps other planes will be used in the searches. Savant Feared Crash.

GIRL, 14, WHO FIGHTS OFF BOY RESCUER, DROWN: Witnesses Say Man Left the Scene Hastily, After Both Had Slipped into Hole. POLICE MAKE AN ARREST Rosalie Steadman, 14 years old, Massachusetts avenue southeast, drowned yesterday afternogn while bathing in the Eastern Branch near Gallinger Hospital. The girl had gone to the swimming place, which Is frequented by the chil- dren of the southeast for lack of a swimming pool, with a party of boys and girls. While they were paddling in the water, the other children told police, a man appeared and told the girl he would teach her to swim. He took her hand and waded into the water with her, the witnesses added When they had reached a spot about 30 feet from the shore, the man slip- ped and fell into a hole, said to be about 20 feet deep. He loosed the hand of the girl, witnesses told police, and then swam back to shore, donned his clothes and hurriedly left the scene. Joseph Duvall, 30 years old, of 1003 K street southeast, who, later, was ar- rested by police of the Fifth Precinct, was questioned by Lieut. Edward J. Kelly and Detective Sent. John W. Fowler, of the homicide squad, and ordered held for the coroner's jury, which will convene this morning at the District Morgue at 10:30 o'clock. Duvall told the detectives he was at- tempting to teach the girl how to swim when they stepped into a deep hole. The water where the girl drowned had a depth of between 20 and 25 feet. “We both sank,” Duvall told the de- tectives, “and the girl grabbed me around the neck. 1 started to knock her out to break her hold on me s0 we both could be saved but somehow 1 didn’t.” Duvall, who is employed by the Oyster Dairy and is unmarried, told police he had taken the afternoon off and went swimming to “cool off.” The boys attempted to get the girl out. George Hild, 15 years old, 535 Kentucky avenue southeast, grabbed her, but she fought with him, making a deep scratch on his back. Maurice Hager, 907 Twelfth street southeast, was attracted to the spot by the cries of Juanita Barger, 12 years old, 1740 Massachusetts avenue southeast, who ran to Gallinger Hospital with the news that a girl had drowned. He took off his clothes and dived repeatedly in the water for the body, but was unable to locate it.

While Hoover cleared up his desk at the Commerce Department before leav- ing Washington Saturday, it was an- nounced today at the executive offices that his resignation as Commerce Secretary would not be accepted until after he reaches the pacific coast, as there are some matters there connect- ed with his department which he de- sires to attend to before severing his connection with the Government. This is expected to require only a short time and then he will be relieved of his of- ficial duties. Morrow Mentioned for Post.

Asheville, N. C., July 17.—The widely heralded uprising of the Southern Democrats against the nomination of Al Smith, which was designed to split the Solid South wide open, appears to have simmered down. : The convention of Democratic in- surgents in all Southern States called to convene here tomorrow by Bishop James Cannon, jr. of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and the Rev. ‘A. J. Barton, of Atlanta, department head of the Southern Baptist Conven- tion, has dwindled to less than 100 persons, chiefly Methodist bishops and pastors and agents of the Antisaloon League and Women’s Christian Tem- perance Union. The Southern Democratic loaders to @ man have given the convention of bolters the cold shoulder. Josephus Daniels, of Raleigh, N. C., former Sec- romney of the Navy, announced that he retorted that though he had called on Mr. Daniels he had not invited him. Gov. Dan Moody of Texas declined to attend. Gov. Richards of South Caro- lina was looked upon as a likely pros- pect because he had invoked the police power to stop Sunday golf in his State, but even he sent his regrets. The Virginia, Alabama, Georgia and Florida Democratic politicians also re- fused to participate. Almost without exception they have declared for Smith When Bishop Cannon and Dr. Barton found that the Democratic politicians would have nothing to-do with a move- ment to bolt the Democratic nomina- tion for President they made the Ashe- ville conference an invitation affair and broadcast the invitations to Southern churchmen and prohibition Organiza- tion workers.

TWO COL@RED CHIEFS ALREADY DISPLACED Mississippi Committeeman Is Suspended From Post in Justice Department. By CARLISLE BARGERON, Indictment of Perry W. Howard, col- ored Republican leader in Mississippi, is being accepted in political circles here as giving weight to reportse that Secretary Hoover intends to shake off the colored rule of the party in the South. Howard's trouble, it is pointed out, follows the displacement of Benja- min Jefferson Davis, the colored leader of Georgia, who incidentally is now fig- uring in an tinvestigation similar to that which enveloped Howard Walter Cohen, the colored leader in Louisiana for many years, also met his Waterloo at Kansas City. White men replaced both Cohen and Davis and it is generally beliveed here that one will replace Howard as soon as that phase of the business !s reached.

Geneva, July | States today (Associated Press.) fhe nomination of Charles Evans Hughes for the vacancy on the World Court caused by the resignation of John Bassett Moore was not the action of the United States Government, which has no connection with the World Court, but that of the majority of the United States members of the permanent court of arbitration. Acting upon the request of the secre- tariat of the league inviting the various national groups Of the arbitration court to submit the names of two persons in position to accept vhe duties as mem- bers of the world court the majority of the American group, Elihu Root, John Bassett More and Newton D Bak- er, decided upon Hughes, the fourth member of the arbitration court Ameri- can group. Hughes did not participate in the decision, being absent in Europe. With the nominations made by the other national groups of the arbitration ccurt, Hughes’ name will be voted upon separately In September by the assem- bly and the council of the League of Nations. A majority vote in both bodies ismecessary to election. While More has resigned as a member of the World Court, he still remains as a United States member of the perma- rent court of arbitration at The Hague, which is distinct from the permanent court of. international justice, or the World Court, as it is commonly known.

Mexico City, July 17 (A.P.).—AMn troops were ordered in barracks tonight in readiness to preserve order if neces- sary. Saloons were closed as well ag all theaters and places of amusement. Censorship was established in Mexico at 9:45 o’clock tonight. Mexico City, July 17 (A.P.).—Presi® dent-elect Alvaro Obregon of Mexico, called “Lucky” Obregon because he had so often escaped death on the battle- field or by assassination, died violently at last today. Like so many of those who have been president or have headed governments of Mexico, he wag the victim of an assassin. He was shot down as he sat at a banquet given him by his politi- cal supporters at the little town of San Angel, near Mexico City, at 2:20 o’clock this afternoon. Police said to- night that the assassination was only one of a series planned and by which a number of the leading statesmen of Mexico were to have been removed. The one-armed warrior-president, with six bullet wounds in his body, died in a few moments without speake ing a word and in the greatest agony. His assassin, known as Juan Escapul- ario, was captured, almost torn apart by maddened friends ot the slain gene eral, and taken to Jail where he con- fessed his crime. Obregon’s Foes Flee. Tonight many of those who were known to have been opposed to Gen, Obregon had fled from Mexico City bee fore the fury of his friends and sup- porters, who were kept in bounds only by the stern vigilance of police and soldiers, who patrolled the streets of the capital and the roads of the sur- rounding country. Mexico City was in a fever of excitement but there were no disorders. Evidence that the crime was pre- meditated was found in a paper dis- covered in the pocket of the slayer. It was addressed “To My Family” and said: “Knowing that I will die in carry- ing ous my principle, I bid you fare- well.” It was signed simply “Juan.” Another slip of paper contained the names, “Romero, Topete, Robinson,” and it is assumed that these names were of men also singled out for death. The Robinson name may have referred to Thomas Robinson, young American mining engineer, who recently married Ernestina Calles, daughter of President Calles. There are a number of Rome- ros prominent in the Obregon ranks, and Ricardo Topete is leader of the Obregon forces in congress. Identity Not Certain. The real identity of the assassin was not known, to the public at least, to- night. It is pointed out that the name “Escapulario” is one often given in contempt or derision. And in this case it is probably not a family name at all, President Calles, it is learned, inter- viewed the assassin in prison but could learn nothing from him. “It is useless,” the slayer said to the president, “for you to attempt to force me to tell anything. If I was resolute enough to kill Obregon in the presence of over several hundred of his supporters, knowing full well that it meant my death, I am resolute enough to say nothing.” Gen. Roberto Cruz, chief of police of Mexico City, was supplanted tonight on orders from President Calles. The president named as Cruz’ successor Gen. Antonio Rios Zertuche, who had been very close to Obregon. Arturo R. Orci, another Obregon adherent, was mamed secretary general of police headquarters. Political Future in Doubt. What. the political consequences of the crime will be no one would ven- ture to predict. President Calles took charge of the. situation within a few minutes after the slaying, and it was generally believed that he would have strong control over any situation thas might arise. The question of whe will succeed Calles, now that Gen. Obregon is dead, is undecided. In many quarters it is believed the president may, under the constitution, serve another full term. In others it is thought probable new elections will be called. The death of Gen. Obregon removes ws the last of the three men who sought “a to succeed Calles in the a Gen.

OFFICERS, OPTIMISTIC, HOPE FOR BETTERMENTS Secretary Davis and Geni. Summerall at Marlboro as Test Drive Is Ended. Upper Marlboro, Md., July 17.—The Army's lack of modern fighting and transportation machines was strikingly illustrated in the hills of southern Maryland today when the Nation’s first motorized military force was put through its paces on a practice march between Fort Leonard Wood and Up- per Marlboro. Out of 250 machines mobilized by the War Department for the test, hard- ly more than a dozen were of modern manufacture. Observers gathered along the line of march saw a parade of ob- solete wartime trucks, tractors and other equipment, most of which had been in the possession of the Army for at least eleven years. Four light tanks, two cargo carriers, five recently manufactured and highly praised cross country trucks and a few cross-coun- try cars made up the only up-to-date equipment which the Army was able to muster for the exhibition. Davis Among Spectators. Secretary of War Davis, Maj. Gen. Charles P. Summerall, Col. Charles 8 Lincoln, head of the Army’s “mechani- zation board,” and a score of other high officers from the various combat branches came out to watch,the Army’s first serious attempt to get in step with the modern trend toward machine warfare. Only a few, however, re- gnained to see the experimental mo- torized unit complete its 42-mile jour- mey. Scheduled to make the trip in slightly more than four hours, the aged equipment was not wp to the task. It was nine hours from the time the first vehicle left Camp Lenroot Wood be- fore the last truck crawled into the Marlboro Fair Grounds. Not One Horse in Line.

Not a single horse was in the column, and nobody walked Automotive field kitchens supplied food for the 1,100 men. The new equipment, especially the light tanks, which are considered the best machines developed in the Ameri- can Army since the war, made the trip without a hitch The overloaded eleven and a half year old trucks, how- ever, did not find the Maryland hills to their liking, and the mechanics put in a busy nine hours before the last truck was safely parked Infantry organizations riding on old trucks made the 42-mile trip in five hours. The trucks carrying light tanks, ar- tillery and anti-aircraft weapons slow- ed up the columns. Had modern trucks been used, such as have been developed in industry, and light tanks of the latest Army type employed, Army officers believe the march would have been completed on time. Officers Are Optimistic. High officials, and especially those connected with the Army’s summer experiments with machine weapons and motorized personne! at Fort Leon- ard Wood, were optimistic rather than discouraged by the day’s maneuver. They were greatly gratified by the performance of the few modern ma- chines available. Col Lincoln and other officers said it had been expected that the old trucks would not be able to stand up under the demands made of them. Machine and metorization experts were hopeful that tocay’s demonstra- tion of this country's shortage in mod- ern machine equipment and the suc- cess achieved by the newly developed weapons would pave the way toward the appropriation of larger funds for motorization development work.

C., July 17 (A.P.).—Or- ganizing for the coming Democratic campaign by the unanimous election of Odus M. Mull, Shelby, as chairman, the State Democratic executive committee was plunged into a heated discussion tonight by a resolution pledging sup- port of the party ticket “from con- Stable to President:’ The resolution was finally adopted without a roll call. Chairman Mull, in announcing his Campaign plans, stated he had called a conference here tomorrow of the ten representatives, two senators, the gov- ernor and other State officials to start the Democratic drive which he pre- dicted will place O. Max Gardner in the governor's chair and Gov. Smith in the White House. The resolution introduced by Repre- sentative Lindsay Warren, of the first district, pledging support of the full party ticket, furnished the fuel for the oratorical blaze. Charles S. Wailace. of Morehead City, touched the match tc the tinder when he announced that as a proxy for his wife he could not conscientiously sup- port the resolution because he was conversant with Mrs. Wallace’s strenu- Ous opposition to the _ presidential nominee. He asked permission to submit his wife’s resignation, but Chairman Mull ruled that a proxy could not resign for & member, Announcing that he found himself tn the same situation, W. I. Knight, of Halifax, with a proxy for his wife, of- fered a substitute for the Warren reso- lution, which, in effect, would have placed the committee on record as say- ing the failure of a Democrat to sup- port the presidential nominee would not impair his party rights in future primaries and conventions. Cameron Morrison, former North Carolina Governor, made a _ vigorous protest on the Knight proposal. “Certainly this committee will not invite the Democrats of North Caro- lina to disloyalty,” ne shouted. “l don’t question the rights of those gen-’ tlemen’s wives to scratch the name of Gov. Smith, but I hope they will con- sider the impropriety of their serving as officers of the party under the cir- cumstances.” Josephus Daniels, former Secfetary of the Navy, took the floor to protest against what he called “inquisitorial methods” when some members were at- tempting to quéstion Dr. Wright. At the same time he favors adopting the Warren resolution.

MEETING WIVES CAUSE MIX-UP} READY TO BACK HOOVER Lowdenites and Haugenites in Convention Not Moved by Houston Farm Plank. SEEK WORD ‘BY NOMINEE By ARTHUR EVANS. Special to The Washington Post. Des Moines, Iowa, July 17.--Hoover will be indorsed tomorrow by the Iowa Republican State convention in which will sit old time regulars and insur- gents, Lowdenites and McNary- Haugenites, and advocates of the equalization fee Sizaificance is drawn from the fact it is the first tmportant State con- clave since Kansas City and it is heid in the heart of th ‘orn belt, In a State which was a Lo den stronghold and which voted 27 to 2 to support the ihinority farm plank rejected by the Republican national convention It’s the home of some of the strongest Mc- Nary-Haugenites, including Represen- tative Gilbert N. Haugen, of the Mc- Nary-Haugen team. It’s been a storm center in the so-called corn belt re- volt Politicians hold that the indorsement of the Hoover-Curtis ticket by the State party will wash out the effects of the corn belt committees’ action yes- terday condemning the Republican farm plank and applauding the Demo- cratic farm plank and in giving in speeches three rousir.g cheers for Gov. Sniith. One feature was a speech by Senator Smith Brookhart, old insurgent leader, this time a regular. The Senator to- day declared he has not lost one jot or tittle of his insurgency, and that he is for Hoover because he has decided it is the way to get real farm relief. “Why should I jump out of the Re- publican frying pan into the Tammany fire?” is the way Brookhart phrases it. Brookhart talked with Hoover in Wash- ington; Representative L. J. Dickinson, leader for McNary-Haugenism talked with Hoover in Chicago Sunday. To- morrow Gov, John Hammill is to eat breakfast with Hoover on his train at Council Bluffs and fly gack to the con- vention by airplane... The governor is hopeful of bringing some message from Hoover on farm relief. However, the leaders expect the governor will return with something in the*way of assur- ances from the nominee, which, al- though they may not cover any spe- jcific program, will show his attitude. Republican chiefs today refused to get excited over yesterday's corn belt committee meeting, which denounced the action of the Republicans at Kan- sas City in its farm plank and com- mended the doings of the Democrats at Houston. General conjecture indi- cated it would have little effect in Iowa itself. Iowa is so preponderantly Re- publican by habit that the Republi- cans are talking of a majority for Hoover in November in excess of 200,- 000 There may be a clash tomorrow over the farm plank to be written into the State platform. Some are indorsing the Kansas City plank. Others ere for declaring for the principle of the equalization fee. But whatever plank is adopted, the chiefs argue, it is the State platform on which the State can- didates will stand, and it will not be any infringement of national party reg- ularity. DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S RULE TO BE TESTED Former Gov. Evans Questions Legality of Oath in South Carolina. Greenville, 8S. C., July 17 (AP.).— The legality of the oath required by Democratic party rule No. 32 is to be contested by former Gov. John Gary ‘Evans, of Spartanburg, he told Fred V. Johnson, an officer of the Greenville Hoover-for-President Club, in corre- spondence made public here today. Rule 32 requires that Democrats sup- }. port all party nominees. “The oath required by legislative act of 1915 is all the managers can re- quire,” Evans wrote. 6 managers of elections who deny a citizen the right to vote may aiso be sued for damages. Mr, Evans attended the recent meet- | ing of the Democratic national com- mittee in New York, serving in the place of Gov. Richards as-South Caro-, lina’s representative.

OMITH STUDIES FEDERAL FINANCES: WITH BYANS' AID Budget Expert Coaches the Nominee on Fiscal Opera- tions of U. S. Albany, N. Y., July 17 (A.P.).—In preparation for his speech of accept- ance, Gov. Smith has familiarized him- self with Federal Government financ- ing, particularly the appropriations angle, by conferring here with Repre- sentative Byrns, of Tennessee, the ranking Democrat on the House ap- propriations committee. Mr. Byrns, who is regarded as an au- thority on the budget system and con- gressiona] appropriations, was an over- night guest at the executive mansion After giving the Democratic presiden- tial nominee the benefit of his knowl- edge of the fiscal sid@of Federa) Gov- ernment operations he left Albany at noon today. In conversation with newspaper men Bytns declared that sentiment for Gov. Smith was rapidly crystallizing in the South and in the border States. Opposition Seen Fading. Much of the opposition evidenced toward him before and just after his nomination, the Tennessee representa- tive declared, has dissipated, and he predicted that the New York executive would make a sweep of that section and be elected. Mr. Byrns came to Albany at the in- vitation of Gov. Smith. who said he had no engagements for conferences with other Democratic congressional leaders. It is expected, however, that he will talk over various phases of Govern- mental policy with some of them be- fore he puts the finishing touches on his acceptance speech and makes ready to take the stump about sif weeks hence. As for Gov. Smith's activities today, they were mainly for the benefit of a small army of photographers and movie men, who had a wide range of ideas as to the poses and settings they desired To appease their appetitics, the nominee and members of his family posed the better part of two hours before camera lenses in the rear yard of the executive mansion. Either alone or with Mrs. Smith, their three children, who are at home, and their three grandchildren, the Governor was recorded sitting under the big trees that stud the lawn, with “Sam Hous- ton,” the baby burro brought back by Mrs. Smith from the convention city, and at the monkey cage of the execu- tive mansion zoo, feeding the four monkeys peaches. Smith Enjoys tt All. Smith enjoyed it all, keeping the camera men on the move as they sought to agree on new poses “Where's the foreman, the scenario artist and the director?” he asked at one juncture, “What's the next thing you want?” Once during a lull, the governor him- self manned a movie machine and used its owner as his subject “Come on, smile. Say something to the mob.” he said, as’ he explained that he was xiving the cameraman some of his own medicine What the presidential nominec, who was in high spirits, seemed to enjoy most was posing with his family and the grandchildren. In his arms was Mary, l-year-old child of Mrs. John A Warner, his daughter, and on Mrs Smith's lap sat Walter, year and a half old son of Arthur, second son in the) governor's family. Between them was Arthur's clder child, two and one-hal! years old, and grouped behind them were Mrs. Warner and her husband, and Alfred gga and Arthur Smith with their wives Smith Election No Danger To Schools, Says Robinson | Conway, Ark., July 17 (A.P.).—Elec- tion of Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York as President neither would impair the public school system nor result in priest rule, Senator Joseph T. Robin- son, the Demooratic vice presidential nominee, said in an address at the State Teachers’ College here tonight. ‘The effort is being made by some agencies allied with the opposition to the national Democratic ticket to con- vince the public that the election of Gov. Smith will endanger our public school system and impose a rule of priests on the Government in subver- sion of true Americanism,” Senator Robinson declared, “Neither the impairment of the pub- lic school system nor priest rule will result from the election of the Demo- cratic ticket. It has been claimed by some who should know better that since Gov. Smith is a member of the Catholic church his elevation to the presidency will be a blow to the pub- lic schools of the country and will re- sult in the control of the Government by the Catholic Church, “The Federal Government under our Constitution has no control over the public schools and can not interfere with them. Moreover, during his three terms as governor the Democratic nomi- nee for President has done more to ad- vance and strengthen the public schools of New York than any other governor the State has ever had.” Dry Worker Upheld By Bay State Senate Boston, July 17 (A.P.).—By a vote of 23 to 10, the State senate today struck out of the report of the special liquor investigation committee the amendment censuring William M. For- grave, State superintendent of the Anti- saloon League. The resolution, with the amendment, was adopted by the house after a long debate last week.

Smith on the ballot. And that*they, if elected, would go to the electoral col- lege and vote for some other man than the Democratic nominee.

When asked the specific question, “Do you intend to support the Democratic nom- inee for President,” he replied: “Tam not ready to answer that ques- tion. I am not ready because Gov.

Dallas, Tex., July 17 (A.P.).—Oppo- sition to the presidential candidacy of Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York was crystallized here today at a conference of anti-Smith Democrats of Texas, who pledged a State-wide campaign for the election of Herbert Hoover, the Repub- lican presidential nominee. Some 500 persons attended the rally, and among the speakers were half a dozen State party leaders, ministers and prohibition workers, Resolutions were adopted denounc- ing Gov. Smith for his advocacy of a modification of the present prohibition laws. It was agreed to place an organ- ization in every county of the State to | work for the defeat of the Democratic | presidential nominee. than | I have been | Be saltce who are supporting ghts and Ladies of! ticket fourth lin dele- | i civil | ‘nounced he would not support Dr. J. D. Sandefer, president of Sim- mons College, Abilene, was elected per- manent chairman of the conference. Alvin Moody, Houston, was made vice chairman and Mrs. Josephine Collins, Dallas, was chosen secretary. Leaders of the anti-Smith movement asserted that more than 300,000 Texas Democrats would swing to the Hoover banner. Message Called Treason. The “Anti-Al Smith Democrats” was chosen as the official name of the or- ganization. Gov. Smith's message to the Houston convention, in which he reaffirmed his stand for modification of the prohibi- tion statutes, .was characterized as treason by several speakers. The nom- ination of the New Yorker was termed ‘the vilest insult ever hurled at South- ern Democrats.” Dr. J. W. Hunt, president of Mc- Murry College, Abilene, attacked Sena- tor Joseph T. Robinson, running mate of Gov. Smith, declaring the Arkansas senator. “sold his name to the party for the sake of a wet nomiantion and a we, vote.” VA. Collins, Dallas, former State sen- ator and a dry worker, acted as tem- popary chairman. In opening the meet- ing he called on every Democrat in the State to bolt to Hoover for President and defeat “the powers of iniquity.’ Religion Is Issue, “Any man who would atrike down the eighteenth amendment he asserted, “siso would strike down Section 3, Ar- ticle 6, of the Constitution, pertaining to religious freedom.” Collins predicted that Smith gwould carry only the few counties which are nominally Republican. It was his opin- ion that the majority ur the voters in these counties were wet sympathizers “T don’t know if there is still a Ku Klux Klan organization in Texas,” he sald, “but if it ls opposed to Al Smith wish there were ten million of them n the State.” The conference decided take no hand in the primary campagin for State Lo Demo- national bar from prima ballot counties Democratic candli- have announced they will for Gov.

Natives hereabouts, and anglers par- ticularly, manifested a keen interest today in the respective fishing abilities of President Coolidge and Hoover and they were rather disappointed at the official announcement that in the con- test of skill yesterday on the Brule and in a nearby lake the Chief Executive and the candidate battled to a draw with eight fish each.

Because of the grave illness of her father, Mrs. Hoover did not participate in the demonstration given her hus- band as he passed through Duluth on his way to his special train which came here from Superior earlier in the day to pick up the party Motoring to Superior from the sum- mtr White House at Cedar Island Lodge with Hoover, she transferred to another White House automobile at the execu- tive offices and was driven directly to the train here This statement as to the condition of Mrs. Hoover’s father was issued be- fore the special train departed for California: “Mrs. Hoover was notified from California fhis morning that her father, C. D. Henry, had suffered a heart at- tack during last night. At noon Mr. Henry was resting more easily and im- proving somewhat. Mr. Hoover’s son, ‘| Alan, and Mrs. Hoover's sister, who are with him have been in constant com- munication during the day with Mrs. Hoover. “Three weeks ago Mr. Henry suffer- ed from a slight heart attack brought on motoring up to high elevation in the mountains, Upon his return to lower elevation he made rapid recov- ery and was considered by his physi- cians to be out of ali danger.” Borah Urges Marketing Board, as Farmers’ Aid Caldwell, Idaho, July 17 (A.P.).— Tariff regulation and orderly market- ing of surplus crops through a Fed- eral marketing board financed by a revolving fund were recommended by Senator William E.

To Serve His Entire Term Was Only One of Twelve to Pass Full Time in Office. Four Former Provisional Executives Still Live, but Are Abroad. New York, July 17 (A.P.).—With the assassination of President-elect Gen. Alvaro Obregon, the last Mexican pres- ident to serve a whole term has passed away. Attorney Francisco Leon de Pedro Lascurian, Francisco Carvajal and Adolfo de la Huerta, who ha as provisional presidents, still all living abroad, and the last in the United States. Since late President Porfi who ruled Mexico for more than 30 years, was driven from power in 1911 by the Francisco I. Madero revolution, Mexico has had twelve presidents-elect and pro- None of them had served a full term except Obregon, who visional presidents. held office in 1920-24.

Obre- Huerta resigned July and Francisco Carvajal acted as provisional president for less than a ’ month. On August 21 Carranza en- tered with his troops into the capital, The Carranza regime ended with the Sonora revolt of 1920, in which the Liberal Constitutionalist party estab- lished Adolfo de la Huerta, governor of Sonora, as provisional President of Mexico. Carranza himself was driven from the capital and shot while he slept in a house in the hills of Vera Cruz. His death left the fleld clear for De la Huerta, Obregon and Calles. In 1920 Gen, Obregon was elected President of Mexico, both De la Huerta and Calles being given posts in his cabinet. The Adolfo de la Huerta revolt of 1923-24 followed. The De la Huertistas were defeated and their leader became an exile in the United States. Later in 1924 Gen. Calles was elected to supersede Obregon, and for the first time in decades a Mexican president followed another into office in peaceful sequence. The announcement of Gen. Obregon for the presidency in 1927 to succeed Gen. Calles precipitated another revolt, headed by Gens. Serrano and Gomez, both presidential candidates on an antireelection ticket. This revolt was quashed summarily with the executions of both Gomez and Serrano, and Gen. Obregon’'s election on July 1, last, fol- lowed with no opposition at the polls. Among the provisional heads of the Mexican state also have been Fernando Lascurian, “president for an hour,” whose brief elevation occurred during the Victoriano Huerta revolt; Gen. Eulalio Gutierrez, who was appointed at the military convention of Aguas- calientes in 1914 and served for a month or so of governmental schism, and Roque Gonzales Garza, appoint&i by the Agrarian Zapatista party during the same troubled year. la Barra, ve served are alive, rio Diaz, through Luis Po- as driven on Feb- ity, head- self pres- he mem- ol of the Huerta De foremost late Gen.

Soon afterward Obregon charged De la Huerta with participating in huge ‘raft, «nd the finance minis- ter led a revolt which was put down only after Obrego.. had gone into the field himself, and after the United | States had permitted sale of war mate- rials by Americans to Obregon. Calles was elected and took office Nov. 30, 1924, and Obregon went to Cal- | ifornia On an extended visit A year later a movement was under way for his) reelection, although the Mexican con- stitution did not permit this. In June, 1926, after much indecision and on announcement that he was favorable to the candidacy of Gen. Francisco Ser- rano, Obregon announced his candi- dacy on a platform of support of Calles’ policies. Congress passed and Calles Signed a constitutional amendmen! legalizing Obregon’s reelection and making the term of office six years in- stead of four. Gen. Serrano and Gen. Gomez, also 2 candidate, formed an anti-reelectionist party and revolted against the Obregon- Calles party. The revolt was subdued, and Gens.

SEES NATION UNITED AGAINST “REACTION” Secretary Kellogg Sends Con- dolences and Calls At- tack Shameful. (Associated Pv ess.) Official and diplomatic Washington Was stunned yesterday when it caught the flashing word of President-elect Obregon’s assassination near Mexico City. Coming at a time when relations be- tween the United States and Mexico were on a more amicable basis than they have been for years and when hope was high for a continuance of these relations under the new presi- dent. the news was a great shock to the Capital and expressions of sorrow immediately issued from Government circles Ambassador ‘Tellez was when informed of the ass: the Associated Press ana at first re- fused to believe it. He then called Mexico City by telephone. overcome ssination by a Secretary Kellogg and other State De- partment officials were told the news as they were preparing to leave their of- fices for the day. The Secretary im- mediately put in a call for Ambassador! | Morrow, who gave the details to the department. Kellogg Sends Message. Later the Secretary sent the follow ing telégram of sympathy to Genar: Estrada, Mexican foreign minister: “I was terribly shocked by the new: of the dastardly attack on. Presiden:- elect Obregon. This government . has learned of his death with profourd sorrow and I beg your excellency tc accept the deep sympathy of the Gov- ernment of the United States.” Ambassador Tellez predicted an in- | stant reaction in his country that would: “unify all Mexico against the forces of reaction and revolution.” “It is a second great tragedy for Mexico,” he said, “but I believe and hope that imdignation against the as- sassin will unite all classes in Mexico in support of the administration, so that it will be able utterly to wipe out all the forces of reaction. That is the natural result to be expected in any country.” Must Be New Election. The ambassador declared a new elec- | tion must be held to fill the vacancy | and a special session of congress called to fix the date of election. President Calles is constitutionally ineligible to succeed himself, he explained. Ambassador Morrow told Mr. Kel- logg that he had called upon President Cales and Foreign Minister Estrada and conveyed condolences both for himself and the American Government. The news reached the Secretary just as he had finished dictating a letter to!

Other diplomatic representatives in Mexico City presented their condo- lences at the foreign office and scores of messages were received during the evening. Umberto Obregon, son of the gen- eral, was at home when the assassina- tion took place and was the first to rush to the automobile when the body was brought to the home. He was prostrated by grief.

Atlanta, July 17 (A.P.).—-How he had attempted to assassinate Charles F, Trottef, Deputy First Assistant Post- master General, in Washington. on July 7 1927, was related today by Harry M., who shot two postal inspectors here yesterday. Deeran declared he encountered Trote ter at Ninth and E streets northwest, and tried to shoot him with the same revolver with which he wounded the inspectors here. “The gun snapped,” he told detec- tives. “People started after me as but 1 escaped after a chase of sev- biocks.” He had wanted to kill Trotter Deeran because he believed the deputy had been instrumental in keeping him |out of the postal service, folowing his discharge in Boston in 1925.

A ee —_——- — ee ee eee is ) Ls | . ; Conduct and Common Sense Y ANNE SINGLETON=—~ WOMEN’S SHORT , SLEEVES; MEN’S RINGS. HAVE been asked very often about the etiquette of sleeveless daytime dresses. There is, at present, a mode which makes them fashionable on certain occasions. They may be worn correctly in the country and at the sea- shore, when, tn games, play is made easier, or any athletic sport demands It, or when at afternoon dancing teas or garden fetes, coolness is desired./ The short-sleeved or sleeveless frock is then perfectly suitable. To sum up, !t is in good taste for real use or real ornament. But there are times when it is bad form and should be forbidden. Any girl who goes to a business office in short sleeves looks distinctly second rate. In the streets of cities the sleeveless gown is all wrong. In traveling it is abomina- ble. Girls should have more sense than to attire themselves in so conspicuously ill-Judged a manner. Another place where custom eonsiders it out of key is at church weddings. Of course, the cape, or long bertha, or shoulder-veil- ing fichu may now be used quite con- servatively, but the sleeve is even better.

Viola Paris—My knees are re ee very bony. What cay I do to de- velop them? I am not thin any- where else. I am 34. A. A. Answer—You will have to make a habit of regular exercise that will tone and build the muscles and tissues around the knee joints. Suppleness and litheness are characteristic of young muscles. Muscles would remain elastic longer if we would car into the passing years some of the Reuter exercise, of youth. It was play to us once. The deliberate exercise of ma- turity may not be play, but it can be made really enjoyable. I suggest the following as especially useful in- build- ing up the knees: Stand erect, with one foot a little in advance of the other, toes pointed slightly outward. Rise on the balls of the feet, then slowly bend the knees as deeply as you can and still maintain balance. Rise again to the erect posi- tion without assisting yourself with hands or arms.

Answer—TI assume that the superfiu- ous hair that annoys you ts more than ordinarily dark, as would be natural with your eye color. You have prob- ably discovered that you made a great mistake in shaving the upper lip. It would have been far better if you had bleached the hairs in the beginning. By all means discard the razor and turn to the bieach. If your skin is not dry, add a very little ammonia to a mixture of equal parts of peroxide and lemon juice. Moisten the hairs well and allow the bleach to dry on. Apply the bleach every day. I think the best time is at night, just before retiring. Yes, the legs should be lathered before a razor is used.

But he was not to be disposed of so easily. “Oh, Nayra, no gentleman leaves a lady at her door. Isn’t done at all. Maybe the Arabs do it but we don’t. No indeed, see you safely inside. Ab- solutely, my dear. No trouble at all.” April looked despairingly around. She would have given much to have Peter Thurston appear at the head of the stairs. She heard someone coming and hoped frantically. But it was not Thurston. It was Archie. And when he saw the little scene at April’s door. he turned and went back the way he had come, first waving a friendly hand at April. ~-and it is perfection, indeed. in this satin frock inspired hy Poiret. $39.50 women « frock shop--\second Hoor SELLEFE’S @ F STREET.

Adhere to it. religiously, get plenty of rest and do not let a day go She pleaded with Bob, argued with him, and finally seéing her chance, darted through the door, closed it in his face and locked it. Bob continued to beat on the panels and expostulate with her. “Narya, you don’t know this country like I do. Positively it isn’t safe for a@ lady to be alone this way. You don't know what there may be under the bed. Come on Narya, there’s a girl, let me in!” And then April did hear Thurston's voice. “Anything the matter, Tows- ley?” and her heart leaped with relief. “This little Arab girl has gone and locked herself in her room, won't let me in,” Bob appealed to him. April unlocked the door and faced Thurston. “Can’t you please make him go away?” she begged. To her dismay, as if it were all very funny. Thurston smiled. But he said, “Why, yes, if you really want me to,” and taking the still expostulating Bob by the arm he led him firmly but kindly down the stairs. April left her door a little ajar, waiting to see if Thurston might come back. If he should she would ask him to drive her home. Sounds drifted up to her room —songs, Of which she was glad she could not hear the words, an occasion- al scream, a great deal of laughter, the brittle crack of wine glass breaking But Thurston did not come back. At last April closed her door, locked it and went to bed. But she could mot sleep. The sounds below grew even wilder. Once a whole series of screams told her that somthing particularly ex- citing was going on. After what seemed hours, the guests | sort , April felt herself seized in an iron embrace. wanted to be and had made an effort to bring it to pass. Some times he seemed happy to be with her. Sometimes he seemed merely bored and depressed. But in their hap- piest times there was « barrier of some between them, and they never achieved the happy, innocent compan- ionship of which April had dreamed. Was it the shadow of his wife. April wondered? Yet marriage certainly did not seem to weigh heavily upon the other men, Take Jack Hedges for In- stance, who took Gerta off for week- ends at the summer resorts. There were a dozen others whom April num- bered among her acquaintances, who seemed to have no struggle at all with their consciences when it came. to breaking faith with their marriage vows. Even the gay young Archie, April learned, had a wife somewhere. Besides, April did not wish to tempt Thurston's allegiance away from his wife All. she wanted of him was friendship—or so she herself belleved When all the rest of their world treated the seventh commandment as lightly as they did the eighteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, why might not she and Thurston be allowed a little interlude of compan- ionship? Her days now were spent in anticl- pating their meetings. She could not rid nerself of her habit of picturing what they would be, the happy confi- dences they would exchange Her who had motored up for the day began | nights were spent in going unhappily to get into their cars with noisy fare- wells, and a short time after that the | house guests came upstairs. April heard Thurston getting Bob into his room She heard Gerta come up the stairs with a gay burst of song, open her door and close it noisily. The house party finished Bob so far as April was concerned. For a time she thought it had finished her, so far as Thurston was concrened. She did not see him, though she had felt that they had become good enough friends at the house party so that he might at least call her on the telephone. Bob was repentant, and corftinued to be her escort to the night clubs, but wherever she went, April was searching the faces of the pleasure seekers hoping to see Peter Thurston. It was not until two weks after the house party, fourteen days that seemed an enternity to April, that she did see him again. She and Bob, Gerta Nason and Jack Hedges, were making a four- seome—Jack having become Gerta’s shadow since the house party. last moment Bob could not go, and he asked Thurston to take his place. So after the show, when April and Gerta went out to meet their escorts, it was Thurston who waited for April instead of Bob. April felt that her joy showed plainly in her face, but she did not care. Thurston waiting diffidently for her to greet him, seemed equally glad. But Gerte was in a prankish mood and had reasons for wishing to tease Jack, 50 she took Thurston’s arm, Hedges to follow with April, and Gerta claimed Thurston’s attention during the greater part of the evening, so that there was no opportunity for April to gay anything to him. At last Gerta relented toward Jack ard let him dance with her, and Thurs- ton was left to April. “I wanted to thank you again for helping me that night,” she said, happy to feel those strong arms about her once more. “I was sorry I didn’t get to see you again.” “So was I, very sorry,” he said serl- ousiy. “But I had to leave early the next morning.” “Yet a fortnight has passed since—” April said, not daring to look at him. His arm tightened about her suddenly. “I didn’t imagine you wanted to see me,” he said. “But of course I wanted to see you! You have been very silly.” She saw the warm light leap into his eye and then fade again, the old somber look replac- ing it. “I am a very silly sort of fellow,” he gaid rather wearily. “You would have to find it out some time. You may as well now.” After that there were more meetings, Thurston gradually slipping into Bob’s former place as April's escort. But April did not find the pleasure in this that she had expected. Always it seem- ed to be by some one’s engineering that Thurston was thrust towardsner. Gerta arranged for him to take Apfil, or Jack did, and April once or twice had a sus- {cloh that these two were trying their ithe party. like it At the | leaving, }over the meeting, which always seemed to have gone wrong somewhere, Now the pain, which she learned later to associate with Peter Thurston, was never absent from her heart. One Sunday Jack Hedges and Gerta had drummed up a party for the day. planning to motor into the country and find am tnn where they could eat, dance and drink. Jack had engineered a@ vacation from the revue for the girls, and, as usual had asked Thurston to take April in his car. He was at her door at 10 o'clock, the time agreed upon, but bad news. 'Gerta was ill that morning and felt unable to go. Naturally Jack was staying with her. Something had happened to the other couple who were to round out That left only April and Thurston. “Would you care to go anyway?” Thurston asked, rather stiffly. April would, with all her heart, but she was baffled, as she had so often been, by his attitude. Did he want her to go? He did not especially act So she hesitated. And she saw the sullen cloud drop down over his face. “Doubtless you would rather not,” he said quickly. “I shouldn't have asked it.” “Oh, but I would,” April exclaimed, and ran gayly down to the car. This was the day she had dreamed of for so many weeks. They talked and were silent, but the sense of strain that had spoiled so many occasions for them Was absent. The dinner was delightful, and they spent their time at the inn talking quietly instead of dancing. It was late afternoon before they started the long drive home. With niglit a cool breeze came, for which April was unprepared, and after awhile Thurston perceived that she was shivering, and: insisted upon throwing over her shoulders the light coat he was wearing. Then he thought a moment and looked at his watch. “It isn’t very late—it’s only 9 o'clock —and I have a little place of my own not very far from here. Would you care w drive over, and we can get something warm for you there?” April acquiesced. Thurston turned his car into a side toad and they sped softly on among tall trees, the lights throwing into bril- liant reliéf walls of underbrush that had never been cleared. “Yes, this is wilderness,” he said in response to a question of April’s. They crossed an- other main road, and their trail became narrower, ruttier with grass growing on it. And then the lights caught and played on an old stone mill, standing by the roadside, its paddles poised as they had been when the miller ground the flour for the countryside. Thurston tlowed down. “How picturesque!” April exclaimed. “Do you like it then?” April understood. “This is your place! Oh, how adorable!” She sprang out of the car and ran to examine it more closely, exclaiming at the skill with which the old place had been restored and slightly changed so as to make a charming dwelling. Thurston was evidently pleased. ceiving room of the mill had been turned into a charming living room, with a big stone fireplace at one side, while the grinding rooin had been made into a little study. Thurston warmed to her delight in the place. “Why don't you run over it all while 1 make a tire atid get us something to eat?” he inquired. “I always keep a good stock of food here. You see, this le the place I run to when I feel I have to get away from it all, and I am apt to come at a moment’s notice. No one else ever comes—my wife doesn’t like it because it’s really too small to en- tertain in.” He flushed a little when he said that. It was the first time April had ever heard him mention his wife. April took him at hits word and ran up the quaint, winding stair while he busied himself below ‘There were three darling bedrooms up there, in one of which there were some suits of men’s clothing, and toilet things laid out on the dresser. This was evidently Thurs- ton’s. The others, with latticed win- dows, ruffled curtains and ruffly bed furnishings, had nothing to show that any one ever used them Yet they were immaculately clean. Thurston had the most loving care taken of this Lttle gem of a country place. She discovered hot water tn the bath- room, washed herself and fluffed up her hair, and at last came downstairs again to find a’ fire blazing on the hearth, and Thurston busy in the kitchen. This room had the stone floor and walis of the mill, and one side of it was a fireplace, blackened with the smoke of generations. Thurston was working over the most modern of elec- tric ranges, however, and made April go out to the fire while he prepared the supper. Presently he came in _ bearing a cleverly appointed tray, looking boyish ane happy. They ate before the fire, then Thurston took the dishes back to the kitchen and they sat together on a big davenport watching the blaze. Then Thurston began to talk. the credit, and then the poverty when he broke loose from these associates and tried to gain a footing for himself. He told her how tlre change in his luck had come when through a fortu- nate chance he got the commission to do a country home for a wealthy man, who had liked it so well he _ took Thurston up &nd had all his friends patronize the young architect. Then had come some public bulld- ings, at first on a modest scale, and at last the time had come when many of the most desirable tasks in the town were brought to his office. Never did he mention his wife, and April read in his silence that her pull had been against him all them time. Now success to him meant the opportunity to create the most magnificent buildings of the time; to her, money to spend on gaudy entertainment. As he talked April knew of whom he reminded her—of Jerry Wellman, the motherless playmate of her childhood. Desiring love and sympathy, too proud and too shy to let their need be known. Impulsively April put her hand in his, in a longing to supply the mothering that he had missed. She felt herself seized in an iron embrace. Hard, hot kisses beat upon her face, her throat. . April felt hurt and desolate. She wanted sweet, tender kisses, not this! But he was murmuring brokenly, “Dearest, sweetest, I have wanted you so! I haven’t dared speak or even touch you for fear I would offend you. How I have needed you!”” He was look- ing at her with such misery and such pleading in his eyes. “I could bring him happiness, the only happiness he may ever know,” her heart kept saying, but she had to lIis- ten to the other voice that whispered, “But what of your happiness, April? What of. you?” In tomorrow’s. installment Mrs. Peter Thurston sues April for $100,000 worth of affection. More City Men Join Reserve.

They were pretty arms. Her bracelets were simple gold. Her gloves were well chosen. But the latent common sense that led her to exhibit herself in this way for public day travel was shock- ingly apparent. The subject of men's rings has also come up. What kind should they be and how worn? In old times ho gen- tleman was without his signet ring, always worn on the little finger. If any finer ring were chosen, no matter how important its Jewels, the stones were sunk tn gold and again consigned to the little finger. A man might have the richest kind of ornament, but It was worn as if for use only. Different stones, setting and sorts of rings be- come smart, but they are always worn on the little finger of either hand or both hands.

WIFE WANTED $750,000 Los Angeles, July 17 (A.P.).—The tangled marital affairs of Arthur L. Bernstein; manager of Film Players, were considerably straightened out here today when two successive superior court judgments awarded him a dl- vorce and dismissed Mrs. Bernstein’s alienation suit for $750,000 against Mrs. Lillian Coogan, mother of Jackie Coo- gan, child film star. Mrs. Bernstein's suit against Mrs. Coogan was dismissed on motion of counsel for both sides. First, however, both Mrs. Coogan and Bernstein took the stand and testified that no settle- ment had been made out of court. From one courtroom the principals in the case immediately went to an- other to settle the second phase of the Bernstein domestic troubles. Here Bernstein, who had filed a cross-com- plaint to his wife’s suit for divorce, merely charged that Mrs. Bernstein would not cook for him and that she would not take his mother to see him while he was confined in a hospital here. Mrs. Coogan took the stand for Bern- stein and testified that his wife neg- lected him and refused to follow his wishes. Jack Coogan, sr., husband of Mrs. Coogan, also was a witness. He said he knew of no undue familiarity between his wife and Bernstein A property settlement between Bernsteins was made out of court. Mrs. Bernstein's alienation sult, saveral months ago, accused Mrs. Coo- gan of taking transcontinental trips) with Bernstein and of embracing him in a hotel room while both were scan- tily attired, although it was admitted that both Coogan and Mrs, Bernstein were present during the latter episode.

His fate has caused criticism of the Nobile expedition. Behounek, a Czechoslovakian meteorologist, was one of the group hurled on the ice by the crash and rescued by the Russian ice breaker Krassjn. (Gen. Nobile sent a statement to Stockholm last week saying that he had no misunderstandings with Dr. Malmgren and that relations on the whole were at all times frank and hearty.) The dispatch to Izvestia from its correspondent aboard the Krassin quoted Behounek as saying of the ex- pedition, “Throughout we had been over- worked and had little sleep. Malmgren Seemed Worried. ‘Shortly before the crash I went to awakén Pontremoli (Italian scientist. still missing), who was sleeping, but met Dr. Finn Malmgren, who seemed worried. He told me the airship had been mismanaged. “Returning to my seat I noticed a meter was indicating a rapid descent. Ceccino (motor chief) instantly threw out the last ballast of 170 kilos of metal. We immediately rose 400 meters. Then we rapidly began to descend again. “About fifteen minutes after the initial crash and after the dirigible had carried off the Allesandri group (of six men) we saw smoke, but did not hear an explosion, which indicates the possibility that the group is alive. “Our desire to investigate the area southeast of the Pole wrecked the dirigible as we purposely drifted with a storm to enable the making of this investigation. “We remained over the Pole at a height. of 150 meters for two hours.

The darkest aspect of the tragedy that has eliminated Gen. Alvaro Obregon im- mediately after his election to the presi- dency of Mexico is that it was destined to occur. Repeated attempts had been made to take his life after the disorders of last year, when popular opposition to the government’s religious legislation became intense, and when Gen. Arnulfo Gomez and Gen. Francisco Serrano, can- didates for the presidency, started a re- volt that ended in their execution. It was alleged by many Mexicans that these leaders were not guilty of sedition, but were run to earth for the purpose of insuring the election of Gen. Obregon without any opposition whatever. Whether this allegation be true or not, the fact remains that no candidate ap- peared against Obregon, who was elected on July 1 to take office December 1 next. Scattered bands of Mexicans are still fighting the government in various parts of the country, but there seems to be little or no concerted action, and Presi- dent Calles’ pursuit of the rebels has He posted armed forces at places where disorders might have been expected on election day. Thus, on the surface, the election of Obregon was peaceful and unanimous, but no one familiar with the situation could doubt that Obregon was in con- stant danger. Yesterday the blow was struck, near the City of Mexico, and Ob- regon fell with five shots in his body. Aside from his acknowledged convic- tion that it was necessary to wield an iron hand in governing Mexico, Gen. Obregon had proved, himself to be an enterprising and industrious leader. His administration was marked by the re- sumption of diplomatic relations with the United States, and he frequently ex- pressed a desire to cultivate friendship with this country. His business inter- ests brought him into contact with many Americans, who found him upright in all his dealings. He thoroughly approv- ed of all that President Calles had done in the religious controversy, which lately seems to have taken a more favor- able turn. On his part Calles faithfully paved the way for the election of Obre- gon, believing him to be preeminently qualified to administer the government. Gen. Obregon was a most capable mili- tary leader, and was greatly admired by Mexican army officers. The constitution of Mexico provides that a president can not be reelected ' until after an intervening term. Presi- a. ‘eo : “is t s ae dent Calles succeed himself; but the constitution can be easily amended. Mexico is seething with excitement as a result of the as- sassination of Obregon, and it is too ' early to foresee what will be done in the a 4 and there is abundant time in which to ' revise the constitution so that he may q el “ * “3 4 ‘ A matter of selecting a president. Calles, however, now seems to be the only man in ‘Mexico capable of piloting the ship, ‘Yemein for another term. On the day that news of Obregon’s ' death’ is received, the body of Capt. Emilio Carranza is leaving New York for the funeral in Mexico. The hearts of Americans warmed toward this young herd, whose modesty, skill and daring “were so admirable, and who was so trag- ‘ically hurled to earth by a furious storm. A e incarnated the soaring spirit of the ‘race that‘conquered seas and empires in he New World, and throughout Mexico his gallantry inspired millions to lift up their heads and work for more glorious life.

THE WHOLESALE MARKET. The Potomac Freight Terminals Co. has announced that it will begin immediately, with the cooperation of the Pennsylvania Railroad, a comprehensive development of the area lying between Fourteenth, D, Twelfth, Tenth and Water streets and the Washington Channel into a ‘‘modern, coordinated wholesale market district." The project is of importance to the entire community. The Government building program has forced abandonment of the present wholesale market district. For months controversy has raged as to where this district could best be relocated. Each of the several sites suggested for re- location of the wholesale market has its ad- vantages. The fact that a bill to establish the Farmers’ Market in the Southwest area was passed by the House in the last session after long and stormy public hearings may be taken to indicate that majority sentiment favors such development in this area. Nevertheless, those who supported other sites announced that they would continue the fight. It is probable that the matter would have been indefinitely de- layed had no outside development appeared to influence the decision. Location of a coordinated wholesale market district in Southwest Washington should serve to quiet further opposition to location of the Farmers’ Market in that area. In addition, the new center will facilitate the economic distribution of the District’s perishable food supplies, The fact that the wholesale district has been forced to move because of the Federal] building program will prove to be a blessing. RUSH HOUR CABS. The Independent Taxicab Owners Associa- tion, “‘pending a thorough study by the Public Utilities Commission of the advisability of such service,” has suspended the 10-cent flat rate rush hour service inaugurated last week. The independents have brought forcibly to public attention the fact that the law governing op- eration of public utilities is not clearly drawn in certain respects. It should be clarified forth- with, not only so that the Diamond Cab op- erators will know how they stand should they desire to resume operation on a flat-rate basis, but also so that the commission will know defi- nitely what its powers and rights may be should similar cases arise in the future. Operation by the independents of the flat rate rush hour service was not entirely suc- cessful. Throughout the four days of opera- tion there was demonstrated a striking lack of cooperation between individual drivers. Frequently would-be passengers took seatg in cabs and after waiting in vain for the cabs to be filled, were forced to utilize bus or street car to get to work on time. In the rains of last Saturday morning the service broke down almost completely. The temptation to solicit full-pay passengers was too great for most drivers, and they abandoned the cut-rate traf- fic in the know'edge that rainy-day scarcity of cabs would make patrons assured. If, then, the cut-rate business is be resumed, it would seem that two improvements in service must be made. First, cabs must be dispatched upon more or less regular schedule, whether full or not. Second, service must be main- tained, rain or shine, every working day of the year. The independents have acted wisely in abandoning their cut-rate service until such time as the commission can complete a com- prehensive study as to its advisability. Aect- ing upon the knowledge gained in four days’ operation the operators should be able to make a good case before the commission as to the to , public need and desire for such service. MURDER ON THE DECREASE. Murder is on the decline in New York, ac- cording to the Baumes Crime Commission. A comparison of crime statistics for 1925 and 1927 shows a decrease of 80 in the number of murders and manslaughters. In the latter year murder registered but one-half of 1 per cent of all felonies. It would be interest- ing to place this showing alongside that of Chicago, for the same years. The fact remains, however, that the number of murders and manslaughters in New York for.the year 1927 was 278. Considered apart from the total number of crimes of all classes, this is a shocking record, even for a popula- tion as large as that of the Empire State. The Baumes law, which provides a life sen- tence for those convicted of four felonies, cer- tainly has had something to do with the diminishing number of capital crimes, inas- thuch as the general restraint put upon crime would react upon the number of the gravest offenses. That law seeks to strike crime at its root, rather than to distinguish keenly between the offenses themselves. It says that the man who commits as many as four felonies, for which he is convicted, is thereby shown to be of incorrigible criminal character and unfit to be at large. Although one crime does not establish a criminal character, repeated crimes are presumed to do so. Liberty, next to life, is dear to the individual, and total loss of liberty carries horror to any but the most reck- less. SECURITY FROM GAS POISON. Experiments made to show the localities where the air is freest from dust and impuri- ties, such aS were put through in this city a year ago, might very well be generally entered upon, particularly in the big industrial cities where the correction of air contamination is a matter of first importance for the public health. The subject has been approached at various angles, and expert studies have been made as to the conditions which are responsible for the contamination of the atmosphere, with pro- posals for meeting them. One of the important investigations recently made is that by the Society of Automotive Engineers, according to the Public Health Service. This report con- fines itself to the control] of conditions arizing from the discharge of carbon monoxide gases from the exhausts of automobiles. is not rated a grave contributor to air con- _ tamination in the public thoroughfares, yet. the facts with respect to the matter have not as yet all been sifted out.’ It nevertheless seems certain that in the open this gas does not collect in volumes to affect either health or security, ) » However, the report covers wide ranges of interrelated subjects such as the carbon mon- oxide content of air in garages, streets and - While this “4 : y 4 / : a co. ei F i ee i.* ; wei og “ i ‘* * a - , - i tunnels, the physiological effects of the gas, the chemical aspects of using ozone as an offset to health hazards and the use of ozone in garage ventilation. It has been found out that, contrary to the views of many who have to do with garages, that ozone has little value in offsetting the hazards from carbon monoxide gas. Thus far in the study as made, ventila- .tion ranks without a peer in the practical off- set of this subtle hazard to health and life. So simple an expedient mdy be had for both public and private ghrages readily enough. Tunnels, especially those of early construc- tion, which are poorly supplied with ventila- tion, collect and hold the gas, ridding them- selves of it entirely only where suction fans are used to supplement ventilating vents. Whatever is lacking In specific knowlédge of the low concentration of the gas—and studies by medical, engineering and mines bodies have supplied a great bulk of literature—there re- mains the caution which is emphasized by them all, of the need for effective safeguarding of the health, by State and municipal authorities, of all who are exposed to the danger of asphyx- jation from this source, TRAFFIC AND POLICE. Is the conflict between the offices of the superintendent of police and the director of When director of traffic was established it was ex- traffic to be renewed? the office of pected that the Police Department would wel- its The new office was to undertake a come the opportunity to lighten duties, readjust- ment of traffic, new regulations its attention leaving to the Police Department the of enforcing the regu- lations, Almost immediately, however, the question arose aS to whether the superinten- dent of police or the director of traffic had authority over traffic. A truce finally was effected through an order of the District Commissioners directing the traffic office to submit duplicate copies of any regulations simultaneously to the board and to the super- intendent of police. Under this arrangement the two offices have worked together ap- parently harmoniously, Several days ago, however, the superinten- dent of mplice announced that he had suggested to the Commissioners that the regulation quiring use lights The traffic director objected to the proposal, and indicated that he was surprised noyed that the suggestion should have been made before his opinion had been solicited. The superintendent of police thereupon cited the act creating the traffic department, ex- pressing the opinion that it made the director of traffic subordinate to the superintendent of police, and asserted that he would make rec- ommendations as to traffic whenever and how- ever he saw fit. The Commissioners should settle this mat- ter forthwith. If the traffic department is to function smoothly and efficiently it must re- ceive the full cooperation of the police. Like- wise, if the police are to handle traffic properly they must function in harmony with the di- rector of traffic. centering and duty upon re- of parking be rescinded. and an- ipal government could be more closely from a functional standpoint than these. of traffic contro] uniess the District problem will be hopelessly involved authorities work together in harmony. Ree THE MODERN UNIVERSITY. When Lord Meston was installed thse other of University, Duke of day as chancellor Aberdeen Scotland. in succession to the late Richmond and Gordon, he delivered an ad- , | dress, the main purpose of which was to show | become modified conceptions have of of a university, and how the university is to meet the demands which these views of its purpose in existing make upon it. It is evident, he said, that the leaders of industry are turning more and more the universities for help in questions of produc- tion. In such inquiries there is an intellec- tual challenge which makes them even if the attempt to answer them threatens soon to sweep away from the university pro- fessor the little leisure that his primary duties still leave him. In some universities the sit- uation has been met by the establishment of special research chairs free from the drudgery of class work, but this is a luxury not within the reach of every center of the higher learn- ing and justified only by the existence of a generous endowment or of one raised or given specifically ad hoc. As a matter of fact, how to undertake or continue such work, in “‘ad- vancement of knowledge,” as that for which the help of the university is being constantly invoked, constitutes a practical financial prob- lem difficult of solution. One obvious way out would be for industry to come to the rescue with endowments from which it may legitimately hope to reap and gather a hun- dredfold harvest. It is, at all events, refreshing to notice that captains of industry and practical business men have lost,. or are rapidly losing, the suspicions and the poor opinion that they formerly entertained of the college-bred man. There is more said now than once was fash- ionable in favor of the man with the trained intellect and the consequently broader outlook. The result is that drafts are being made on the universities for the best men they can furnish to step into immediate training for responsible positions in the world of industry and of business and commerce. To meet these drafts the universities have enlarged, liberal- ized and modernized their courses and in doing so have displayed both vision and wisdom. But while applied science is being culti- vated, abstract or pure science, which is in reality the base 6f the other, must not be neglected.

What's the Difference? Baltimore Sun: At a recent meeting of a foreign missionary conference in Northfield, Mass., the Rev. Dr. Donald Frazer, secretary of the United Free Church of Scotland, is reported to have ridiculed those who criticize foreign missionary service “because there are fields of labor not yet completed in the‘home vicinity.” At the same time Dr. Frazer is quoted as saying that the primitive peoples in need of missi work can see “no harm in telling @ lie F: The “First | be fun to be a boot- | K W pector found “‘pay dirt’’ in ‘joined him; claims were staked out; | fights, | excitement, gambling.

The authorities in that outpost of empire are of the opinion that by 11 o'clock in the evening even the most devoted lover of music should. have indulged his passion to his heart’s content. They have, therefore, decreed that by that hour all wireless receivers must be switched off, all pianos closed, any in- strument capable ot making any mu- sical sound whatever put away, and all vocal effort stilled. , These restrictions may seem harsh to the outsider, but any one who knows the passion of the inhabitants of that part of the world for music at all hours ofthe day and night, especially through the medium of the electric piano, will feel some sympathy. Rump Steak for 97 Per Cent. Buffalo News: It is estimated that 3 per cent of those who think stocks will keep on going up forever will have a turkey on Thanksgiving. HOME RUNS TOO COMMON, The ablest of all baseball critics and master strategist among managers, John J. McGraw, thinks the game is overdoing the home run, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He says a triple has become more interesting to the fans, who have seen the ball bumped over the fence and into the stands until the home run is a com- monplace. True enough. As a matter of fact, the game would likely. be more interesting if a hit into the stands or out of the park were ruled out of bounds, as in golf. That would con- fine fair hits to the playing field, where the fielders have qa chance either to catch them or to relay them to the plate before the batter scores. If there is anything more thrilling than a bat- ter scoring on a hit inside the park, with the ball coming in to intercept him at the plate, we do not know what ir is.

Any machine coming down Fifteenth street at such a time and which wishes to make a left turn, should be able to do it without waiting for the green light on the avenue. If a sign were placed at the corner 'of Fifteenth and Massachusetts avenue on Fifteenth street, which read, “Make a left-hand turn on the green light,” this fault would be remedied, and it ' should be, as there is no possible danger of an accident under such conditions, | because the southern part of Fifteenth street is blocked off so there is no traf- fic from that direction, and the avenue traffic is stopped because of the red light. If such a step were taken it would save considerable time for those who desire to make the left turn. : A, K. Increased Fatalities.

The one encouraging fc.ture of the compilation is the reduciion of 4 per cent in the number of fatalities at grade crossings, which may be credited in part to the cooperation of the rail- road companies in eliminating these death-traps or equipping them with guards and gates.

It is now a kind of museum,.to which thousands of visitors come every week. I have also visited Westminster Abbey and the British Museum. In the Abbey lie the remains of scores of English monarchs and other famous persons. There they rest, no longer able to do good or to amend the sorrows they may’ have caused. One of the landmarks of London is Big Ben, the clock near the top of the tower above the House of Parliament. Big Ben has four faces, or dials, and each one is 23 feet across. This clock is trusted by the citizens, and many of them use it to correct their watches. There are no surface cars or tram- ways in the middle parts of London. Most of the traveling to and from work is done aboard busses. The bus fare differs with the distance covered, and is sometimes as little as a penny (two cents in our money). There ts also a system of subway or “underground” trains. Automobiles run along the left side of the street, and when one is used to right-side driving, he must be careful lest he come to harm. An Eng- lishman said to me, “Our rule is, ‘Keep to the left and you'll always be right.’ ” My next stop is to be Oxford, home of the famous university. (Copyright. 1928.)

NAVY PLANS WELCOME TO GERMAN DIRIGIBLE Flight of LZ-127 Across At- lantic May Be Made Within Next Three Weeks. A German airship, the LZ-127, may attempt a flight across the Atlantic ocean to the United States, it was an- nounced yesterday at the Navy Depart- ment. The plans for the flight are, as yet, indefinite. Lieut. Comdr. C. E. Rosendahl, U.SN who with Commander Garland Fulton, U_ S.N., has sailed for Europe to make a study of the airsh.p situation in England and Germany, tentatively plans to return aboard the German air- ship in the event that the flight is made. Navy officials announced that ar- rangements are being made at the ‘Naval Air Station at Lakehurst, N. J., and also on the West Coast for the pos- sible reception of the German ship. The department has not been noti- fied of the point in Germany from which the proposed flight will start nor of any proposed date for the be- ginning of the flight, although it was stated that the flight might be made in three weeks or a month The air- ship may continue its flight across the continent to San Diego, Calif., without stop. Mavis Company Sued By Coca Cola Branch The first of a series of breach of con- tract lawsuits which are to be filed in the large Eastern cities was filed yes- terday in Circuit Court by the Wash- ington branch of the Coca Cola con- cern against the Mavis Bottling Co. of America and the Mavis Corporation, The Coca Cola concern demands $500,000 damages for the alleged breach of a contract dated March 24, 1927, whereby, it is alleged, it was given the agency for the bottled Mavis goods in the District. The defendants are al- leged to have opened a branch here and distributed their own products in vio- lation of the terms of the contract. At- torney F. Regis Noel, counsel for the Washington Coca Cola Works, Inc.., stated that sixteen similar suits would be filed elsewhere along the Atlantic | seaboard. | MOVEMENTS OF STEAMSHIPS | New York, July 17.

Ky oe a ey A On ME pe wt, ee - af » * ? “ Pte | Vv : . | Announcing a Plan Ly ee a ~~ tte te te of great importance to the city’s Perishable and Produce Stores for commission merchants, fronting on Water Street from 12th to 14th streets to be erected immedi- ately. Wholesale markets, railroad termi- nals, cold storage plants, all to be brought into one compact whole in the Water Street Terminal area... This solves for the City a most impor- tant problem created by building plans of the Federal Government that make necessary the removal of the present markets. EFINITE plans for the immedi- ate development of the Water Street Terminal area in South- west Washington have just been an- nounced by Colonel Wrisley Brown, President of the Potomac Freight Ter- minals Company. Actual construction has already be- gun on part of the proposed improve- ments. Contracts for other parts of the work have either been let or will be let in a few days. 4 Principal Items of the Program~— Adopted After Years of Study of Washington’s Requirements 1. Immediate construction of stores for commission merchants fronting Water Street, with trackage connec- tion. Modern in every respect these POTOMAC FREIGHT TERMINALS COMPANY Business - - stores will provide about 200,000 square feet of floor space and afford facilities for the wholesale perishable merchants who are forced to move from their present quarters by the erection of the new public buildings in the old market district at B Street and Louis- iana Avenue. ~ 2. Anewrailroad bridge across Water Street to accommodate additional trackage into the Water Street Termi- | nal area from the main tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad. 3. New track facilities from the new bridge into the Water Street Terminal area to serve the commission trade and other receiving and marketing agencies in this district. 4. Theconstruction of modern stores for the poultry trade grouped at the corner of 12th and E Streets opposite the Water Street Terminal—to be ready for occupancy about December Ist. Nearby at 12th and E Streets is the Cudahy Packing Company’s facility. In the same vicinity there is room for other packing concerns. Altogether these plans provide for the development of adequate facilities in this district for all the marketing agencies serving the city’s population with perishable foodstuffs. The com- pletion of the whole enterprise will see -amodern coordinated wholesale market district in Washington. Advantages to the Perishable and Produce Business that will come with this New Development 1 The ‘area bound: by“]4th,,D., 12th,-JOth and Water Streets and the. Washington Channel will include enlarged railroad. yards for direct delivery of produce, poultry, meat, fresh fruits-and vegetables; team. tracks for ‘direct truck: delivery; cold . storage. ‘facilities and the Municipal Fish Market, all conveniently located for the, economic’ handling of perishable, food supplies received by rail from the South and West or by truck from nearby farming regions. ps In this same section the Pennsylvania Railroad operates a produce freight termi- nal and a large receiving freight yard. Last year the first unit of the contemplated larger produce terminal with direct switching connee- tions at Water Street was constructed—making available space for the display and sale of prod- uce received in carload lots. The new bridge and trackage into Water Street Terminal avea will afford facilities for the entire district. 3 Potomac Yard, located in Virginia near the South End of Long Bridge, is the converg- ing point for all freight moving from the South over the Southern trunk lines. Brought into Washington over the tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad most of this perishable freight is de- livered near the North End of Long Bridge. 4 Adequate cold storage facilities are to be found in this section of Southwest Wash- ington. Here two large plants with a combined cold storage capacity of 2,500,000 cubic feet in addition to an ice manufacturing capacity of 400 tons per day are located. Modern in every detail of construction and equipment these plants are adequate to meet the needs of Washington’s perishable and produce business. \ ee I CIE LT

Principal! and interest will be payable at the office of Halsey, Stuart & Co., Inc., in New York or A letter from C. J. Pearce, Vice-President af Mercantile Arcade Realty Corporation is summarized as follows: Property and Location: Mercantile Arcade Building, completed in 1924, consists of two 12-story office buildings connected by a 3- story arcade and is one of the outstanding structures in the down-town business district of Los Angeles. Each 12-story office building has a frontage of 120 feet, one facing on Spring Street and the other on Broadway. The arcade which 1s 120 feet wide and which affords a direct passage from Broadway to Spring Street through the office buildings, contains stores and shops on all three floors and in the basement. In all, the structure has 175,681 square feet of rentable floor space. The location of Mercantile Arcade Building is a very strategic one. Spring Street at this pointis the center of the financial district, while ended December 31, 1927 were: Gross Reve- Broadway is the principal shopping street. nue, $582,814.28; Net Income Available for The building connects these two important Interest, Depreciation, Amortization and 8 ip Federal Taxes, $399,616.68; Annual Interest erected thereon, more fully described in the Trust Agreement. The fair market value of the land and build- ing has been determined by three independent appraisers at $6,193,880, $6,285,000 and $6,289,880. The land owned in fee has been valued in each case at $3,600,000, $3,600,000 and $3,696,000 respectively. On the basis of the minimum appraisal these Bonds repre- sent less than a 61% loan, while the value of the land alone is approximately equal to the total amount of this Issue. > et 0 Rt I CO Ot te - co Waa AIO bs or Earnings: The earnings of the property con- stituting security for this Issue, as certified by independent auditors for the twelve months he to ~] NAaoowWor oo — -— Peoples Gas Chicago (8).

HE midget basebali series for the Washington title sponsored by the American Legion and - the Capital City League, will be replayed, it was determined last night after a heated meeting of various post repre- sentatives followed by a ballot on the proposition. By a vote of 5 to 4, the legion rep- resfiitatives decided to strip the Lin- coln Post Team of its championship, awarded the team by the executive committee of the league after it had beaten the Boys Club Standards in a game that was regarded as the final for the championship The vote. was followed by the imme- diate withdrawal from the league of the winning Lincoln Post Team and the two Corinthian Club Teams spon- sored by Walter J. Newman. Manager John E. Zetts, of Lincoln Post, declared efter the decision which stripped his cam of the title that under ho con- Sideration would he permit his players to continue in the league, characteriz- ing the action last night as unfair, prejudiced and the act of a group of cisgruntled team managers who had In- fiuenced post representatives. The vote followed charges and coun- ter charges by team managers of trickery and duplicity of the contend- ing teams, evasion of the rules and the admission by all but three posts that all teams were in the wrong. Faced sentiment that played over, athletic director with the of the the overwhelming representa- should be Capt. Harvey L.

YOUNG. UTFIELDER DICK SPALDING last night was given his uncon- ditional release by the Washing- ton Club. He was signed at a time when the Nats were short in outfield talent with the understanding that in case he failed to make good and all teams waived on him he would be made a free agent, Spalding, who is 30 years of age, was believed to be too old in view of the Harrismen'’s plans for rebuilding ths team with youngsters. Under normal conditions Spalding might have remainec with the team, for he has batted to the tune of .348 and is a good fielder. However, con- ditions are far from normal,.and with a crop of youngsters being counted upon in the Nationals’ rebuilding plans there was no room for the former Phil., who expects to return to his home in the Sleepy City today. For the benefit of statistically in- clined fangs The Post yesterday tele- graphed to American League headquar- ters at Chicago regarding the correct pitching record of Gen. Alvin Crowder, former Washington hurler, now star- ring with the Browns, According to the reply received, Crowder has won I]1 games and lost 1. a reversed decision by the league’s official scorer having switched a St. Louis defeat of April 28 by the Chisox from Ernie Nevers to Crowder. The Nationals will be given a day of rest today and, judging from their performances of late, this is bound to do some good, for the team is assured of not losing. There is no gainsaying the fact that the Washington entry is one of the surprise teams of the league—and the surprise is not &A pleasant one. The preseason dope indicated that only the Yankees looked sure to beat them out in the pennant race. that Washington had a fine chance to finish ahead of the Ath- letics, and that the worst Harris’ team could look for was third place. It appeared that only a miracle could keep the Nats out of the first flight, but now it begins to appear that only a miracle wil] let them finish as good as fourth. In the present home stand against the Western clubs, the Harrismen con- fidently looked forward toward making considerable gain. but they were unable to take advanteve of their opportuni- tal City Leag that the Lin ‘oln Chey stressed the fact Post Team was one of the three teams among the sixteen teams in the series to possess a spot- less record and that by virtue its over the Standards had its honors fairly. ision, of victory it gained The dec resented, gives these posts an oppor- tunity to win the Washington title and the right to compete in the sectonal and regional .ournainents which lead up to the Junior World's series at San Antonio under the auspices of the American Legion’s Americanism’ pro- gram.

The cligibility rules of the new series Will be iron clad and all posts be obligated to certify the eligibility of their players to the saticfaction of the executive committee. Because of the banded when it was thought that the fact that many of the teams have dis- Lincoln Post was entitled to the cham- pionship, it is doubtful if the line-up of the original sixteen teams will con- tinue in the series. limited time in which the teams must determine a champion, Secretary Arthur Hey- wood of the Capital City League, plans to play games on week days in addition to Sundays and will schedule double-headers if it Its necessary to push ‘the _ series through. Because of the heard from team will be unable to muster their full strength on week days, and it was their opin- lon that a true champion could not be determined under such a plan, but they were overruled by a vote which was confined to authorized representa- tives of the posts. apt. Miller yielded the chair to Thad Baker, assistant to the department commander of the local legion and Mr. Baker superintended the vc te. A plan breached to Manager Zetts, of Lincoln Post, ihat his team yield its honors was speecily rejected. dZetts, standing his ground as one of the teams which had observed all rules of the series, flayed the opposition man- agers as poor losers. Proponents for a replay contended that Lincoln Post was not entitled to the championship in view of the fact that their victims in the final game— the Boys Club Standards—had beaten them earlier in the season and that two teams from the same section of the league should not have been permit- ted to play the championship game, de- spite the fact that no teams in the Other section weve eligible.

GARFINCKEL PROPOSALS BRING OFFICIAL ACTION Twenty-Nine Zoning Contests to Be Taken Up Probably on Wednesday. Insistence of the department store firm of Julius Garfinckel & Co. on the right to erect its newAtructure at Four- teenth and F streets northwest to a height of 130 feet without setbacks above the 110-foot level has halted the restrictive program on high buildings of the zoning commission, and caused that body to advertise for consideration at a public hearing next Wednesday a change in the regulations abolishing setbacks on upper stories of high build- ings only added to the zoning code in April, 1927. The Garfinckel concern wants to build its new structure with sides going straight like the National Press Club Building diagonally opposite on the game corner. The request was canvassed at the last public hearing of the zoning commis- sion but was left undecided to be heard again. The commission now proposes, in ad- dition to hearing arguments on the Garfinckel proposal, to consider abolish- ing the setbacks for all builders instead of making an exception in the Gar- finckel case. Proposals for Changes. Early in 1927 so many buildings 130 feet in height had been erected in the area of maximum, or 110-foot height, that it was proposed tkat the maximum be raised to 130 feet in the downtown district. It. was so arranged, with the excep- tion that above the 110-foot level each additional story would have to be set back 6 inches for every foot of height. The National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission, fearing a gradual raising of the maximum business height that would rob the Capitol Dome and the Washington Monument of archi- tectural domination of Washington's sky line, then proposed a still further limitation that would require all pent- houses, smokestacks and other sky- ward protruberances to be held within the 130 feet. A hearing was held two months ago on this proposal but no decision was reached. It has been expected that the commission would defer further consid- eration on all proposals affecting the height maximum and hear them all to- gether. This plan has been abandoned. Twenty-Nine Cases Wait. In addition to the proposed zoning | amendment and the Garfinkle_ case, the commission next week will hear 29 cases of requested rezoning. Many of them are controversial, being pro- posals to change a restricted area to less privileged classification. Also in- ejuded in the list are many more cases of “spot” zoning, applying to single premises, than usual The proposed changes are as follows: To change A restricted zones—South- east corner of Sixteenth and Kennedy streets northwest, to residential C; west side of Fourteenth street north- west between Whittier and Aspen to residential A unrestricted; parcel 56-50 in square 2224, between Porter and Rodman streets near Con- necticut avenue northwest. to residen- tial C; parcel at Connecticut and Ne- braska avenues northwest to first commercial. From residential to commercial— 502-506 Twentieth street northwest; 703 Rhode Island avenue northwest; 508 Maryland avenue southwest; 300- 306 F street, 601-625 Third street and 301-307 G street southwest; square bounded by P, Q, South Capitol and Half streets southwest; 310 Fifth street northeast and 1024 East Capitol street. South side of Columbia road between Seventeenth street and Mozart place northwest; both sides of Georgia avenue northwest between Crittenden and Decatur streets; 1210 Oats street northeast; east side of Montello avenue north of Neal street northeast; 5523 Jay street northeast.

DISTRICT ABANDONS RIVER SAND WHARF to Commissioners Decide Take Over Supplies at Plants of Contractors. After two years of investigation, the District Commissioners yesterday voted to discontinue the use of the municipal sand and gravel wharf on the Washing- ton Channel at the foot of Ninth street southwest and instead take over sand and gravel at the plants of con- tractors hereafter. The move was made in the interest of economical operation. The wharf will not. be discontinued un- til supplies of materials now stored there have been exhausted. The question of abandoning the wharf was. fifirst raised in 1926, when improvements of the water front were under discussion. Six weeks ago a committee was appointed to investigate the subject in detail. The committee consisted of Maj. L. E. Atkins and Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, assistants to the Engineer Commissioner; J. B. Gordon, sanitary engineer, and M. C. Hargrove, purchasing officer. A report made by this committee ten days ago indicated that a year’s supply of sand and gravel costs the District $2,500 more if called for at the con- tractors’ plants than if delivéred to the municipal wharf. But the pay roll for operating the wharf is $5,000 a year, 60 that without repairs there is a saving of $2,500 in abolishing the wharf. $15,000 Suit for Injuries Filed. William B. Gibb, a subcontractor, was sued yesterday in Circuit. Court for $15,000 damages for alleged per- sonal injuries by William Stewart, a minor. Through Attorney Robert Hardi- son the plaintiff says that on May 2, while engaged in helping tear down a stone wall at Connecticut avenue and L street northwest, a derrick buckled and knocked him off the wall onto the sidewalk.

OPERATORS TO INSIST ‘ONLY $2.71 BE CHARGED Telegraph Board of Trade of Plan Which Will Save $300,- 000 Annually for City. The board of governors of the Mer- chants & Manufacturers Association yesterday adopted a resolution urging that the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion be petitioned to suspend the new freight rate of $3.13 a ton on soft coal hauled here from the New River, or Southern flelds. The proposed new rate, which would supersede a rate of $2.84, is scheduled to go into effect August 10. The executive committee of the Washington Chamber of Commerce also considered the freight rate question yesterday, but did not take quite so positive a stand. The committee felt that there was not sufficient informa- tion available to justify its taking sides as between the Southern and Northern operators. This resolution was adopted: We welcome any action that would lay this whole matter open and bring out the facts, and if the suspension by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion of the proposed rate would have that result, we would be in favor of such action.” Attitude of Merchants. | | | | | | | ias follows: J. H. 2,000 Excursionists Expected | | Joseph | Hopper. is. C. The Merchants & Manufacturers group not only urged a suspension of the higher rate and a reopening of the entire case, but took the position that Washington should be given the status of a metropolis so far as freight rates are concerned, with a fixed rate for de- livery of coal to any part of the city. It was brought out that there is an additional charge for the delivery of coal in places other than the terminal at the end of Highway Bridge. The board was told that 80 per cent of the soft coal used in Washington comes from the New River flelds, the remainder coming from Pennsylvania and Maryland, Altogether, it was said, the city buys about 1,000,900 tons of New River coal a year.

WIFE SEEKS DIVORCE NAMING ALLEGED RIVAL Mrs. J. L. H. Febrey Already Had Won $20,000 Suit Against Mrs. Levis. Mrs. Jane L. H. Febrey, 4708 Wiscon- sin avenue northwest, who was awarded a verdict for $20,000 damages in Cir- cult Court on April 5, 1927, against her alleged rival, Mrs. Ella D. Levis, 732 Seventeenth street northwest, for al- leged alienation of the affections of her husband, Henry W. Febrey, a real es- tate salesman, of Annapolis, Md., filed suit in Equity Court yesterday for an absolute divorce. Mrs. Levis is named codefendant in the bill filed for Mrs. Febrey by Attorney Crandall Mackey. The records in the alienation case do not show that Mrs. Febrey ever collect- ed her verdict, nor does the record show that Mrs. Levis ever perfected the ap- peal she noted after being denied a new trial. On May 17, 1926, Mrs. Febrey sued her husband for a limited divorce and for an order declaring him to be the owner of premises 4415 Kansas avenue northwest which is alleged to stand in the name of one Gertrude L.

He wrote what probably is the most ' terrific tale of horror ever recorded— “Dracula.” That was many years ago; the year before last when the theater was in search of thrills, some i}one in England bethought of putting this novel into play form. It was done, with the result that women in the au- | dience fainted on opening night. Toned down, somewhat, “Dracula” was brought to New York, where it layed all last season.

A rate-cutting war hetweent taxi- cabs is in progress in Washington. Earl I. Klein, president of the Red Top Cab Co., yesterday notified the Public Util- ities Commission that beginning today Red Top cabs would reduce their initial 25-cent charge to 15 cents. The Dta- mond cabs of the Independent Taxicab Owners Association have been charging 15 cents for the first quarter mile for some time. The change will leave the Black and White and Yellow Cab com- panies as the only ones adhering to the old initial rate. No slash was announced in the sec- ondary rate of 10 cents per quarter mile after the first quarter. Thus the change will mean a reduction of 10 cents on each trip by a Red Top cab.

The Public Utilities Commission has undertaken to impose no regulation on taxicabs as to rates, except in the case of jitney service, and it has made no specific proposal to do so even in that case. So there will be no public hear- ing or other formality. The commission yesterday replied to the letter notifying it that the Dia- mond cabs would suspend their jitney service. The commission in its reply said: P “The commission today has decided with advice of counsel that there is no question but that it has full authority and jurisdiction in the premises (jitney service) and has determined an appro- priate time in the future to call a pub- lic hearing on its own initiative at which time the commission will go into the entire question of the need for such a@ service as you or others might wish to institute and will also, at that time, decide whether or not to take over ac- tive control and jurisdiction of your company as well as all the other pas- senger vehicles for hire in the District of Columbia.” Lerner Stores Win New Trial of Suit The Lerner Stores, Inc., was unsuccessful in efforts last month to obtain possession of $1,167 in Circuit Court from the Police Department, was |awarded a new trial yesterday by Jus- ‘tice Jennings Balley in Circuit Court. | A criminal court jury last winter found |that Charles R.

Charles Tale bert attempted to prove that he had won the money on a horse race a week before the date on which the police charged that it had been stolen. Attorneys Newmyer & King, counsel for the Lerner Stores, demanded a new trial in the civil case on the ground that the verdict awarding Edward Tale bert the money was contrary to the evi- dence, and the court sustained thelr contention.
