Dryest inauguration this town has had in years! The rain just cov- ‘ered people with dust. Oh, sight for all the Philistines— Those Indian “braves” in limousines! Times have come to a pretty pass in this degenerate country when Girl Scouts walk and Sitting Bull lolls on the back seat of an automobile. Ugh! heap big squaw! We take off our hats to the one splendid naked Redman in the pa- rade, who alone among the Indian participants nobly carried on the traditions of that doughty—no, no, not dirty, doughty—old warrior Rain-in-the-Face. One line in President Hoover’s in- augural address stands out like a wedk’s wash on the White House lawn, when he says that if citizens do not like a law “their right is openly to work for its repeal.” Those opposed to prohibition may now feel that on that right they can stand with firmly-planted feet. Mr. Coolidge, who “minded his own basiness” for $75,000 a year and expenses, in the end denies the small measure of relief voted by Congress to the 65,000 poorly-paid Government clerks of Washington, whe mind Uncle Sam’s business for a@n average of about $1,200 a year, and pay their one expenses. Charlie —— in his farewell to the Senate, declares that he “takes back nothing.”” You forget the love and respect of the people of Wash- ington, General ! Why shouldn’t Vice President Curtis approve of the rules of the Senate—he invented 'em. “And you ean pick your morning gloria, Right off the sideboards of Peoria.” Fourteen who pick ’em are dead.

Mexico City, March 4 (A.P.).—Provi- sional President Emilio Portes Gil, aft- er a day spent in consolidating Fed- eral forces to crush the revolution, ad- mitted tonight that a third state, Coa- hulla, had joined the opposition. At the same time he declared that the revolution headed by Gen. Jesus Maria Aguirre in Véra Cruz, Gen. Fran- cisco Manzo in Sonora and Gen. J. Gon-. zalo Escobar in Coahuila was the most unjustified of any revolt in Mexico in recent times. “These unfaithful leaders,” he said, “have gone into open rebellion, with the purpose of establishing a military dictatorship. They are actuated by no noble ideas, but their movement is nothing more than an idea of personal gain.” The president said that the majority of the army was loyally supporting his government and that the entire na- tion disapproved ofthe rebellion. Callies to Take Field. Announcement also was made to- night that Gen. Juan Andreu Almazan would lead federal troops against the Aguirre rebels in the state of Vera Cruz. Gen. Plutarco Elias Calles, former president, who was sworn in as secre- tary of war to meet the emergency, will take the field in the Sonora campaign against the insurgents led by Gen. Manzo. It was said that he intends to go to Irapuato where he will or- ganize the army which he will lead into Sonora. It was believed here that fighting was already under way in the state of Vera Cruz between loyal government forces and the rebelious military units. (Vera Cruz yesterday reported some of the troops led by Gen. Aguirre were ad- vancing toward the north, which would bring them in contact with forces mov- ing out from Mexico City.) Venezuela Disowns Result. Campaign headquarters of Jose Vas- concelos, candidate for the nomination of the “Anti-Reelectionist” party for the Mexican presidency to succeed Emilio Portes Gil, issued a manifesto tonight declaring he did not support the rebel movement. Dispatches from Queretaro said that Paschal Ortiz Rubio, former Ambessa- dor to Brazil, was nominated this morning as its presidential candidate for the election next November by the national revolutionary party. Gov. Aaron Saenz of Nuevo Leon had been the chief opponent of Ortiz Rubio. He withdrew from the convention last week because of dissatisfaction with registration methods. He returned to Mexico City, where yesterday he offered his ald to the federal government and today declared that his candidacy for _the presidency would be held in abey- ance during the present emergency. The avowed purpose of the national revolutionary party was to perpetuate the principles held by the late Gen. Alvaro Obregon.

Ambassador Morrow had planned to remain at Cuernavaca until tomorrow, but news of the outbreak of a revolt caused his decision to return to the Mexican capital as soon as possible. Ambassador Morrow and Col. Alexander McNab, the American military attache, later called at the foreign office.

GARB OF REVOLUTION AND KHAKI MINGLED Scouts and Campfire Girls, State Troops, Political Bodies Add Honors. Herbert Hoover took the salute of the Nation yesterday in its quddrennia] “march past”—the inaugural parade. Less than an hour as President, the Iowa farm boy, risen to the Nation's highest office, escorted by cavalry, rode with Vice President Curtis to a glass pavilion before his official home and saw the strength, grandeur and pride that is America’s unroll in a glorious panorama. Before him went representatives of forces, civil and martial, which sup- port the country’s principles at home, abroad and on the seas. Above him sped an air armada, sounding a prom- ise of air supremacy. Around him stood the greatest resources of all—the peo- ple—sharing his honor as theirs, proud to be with him, United States ctiizens. Rain Is ignored. No elemental threat could stop the advance of the inaugural marching host. Through a glistening curtain of rain and mist, it broke and came on- ward with a compellimg, dignified pre- cision. . Massive. and power conscious as ite emblematic beast, triumphant Republicanism, hung with ceremonial trappings, strode past, a central feature of the country’s biggest show. To greet its thirtieth President, the most important procession of the Western Hemisphere, formed on the ground and in the air, to proceed across and above the most historic route in the New World. It’s the way to meet the smile of its new leader, led by buildings streaked with streamers; stippled with bunting, faces, waving arms and flag; past wooden slopes of seats piled high with cheer- ing people and pavements packed with them; through lanes of poles bearing the national anthem, before the green- ery-festooned places of the mighty, their bowing tiles and approving lor- gnettes. Pageant of Gay Colors, “Filled with more than 10,000 march- ers, taking 2 hours and 5 minutes’ time to pass a given point, the inau-| gural pageant moved chiefly in massed formations characteristic of European | paradgs. It came as a great group otf | swinging arms and white-gloved hands and lifted feet, tapping a measured, sometimes a shuffling cadence, herded by galloping alds and cycling orderlies. Its settings were the colors of the rainbow, ranging from sober martial Chapultepec Castle, seat of the gov- | shades of brown, gray, green, slate and dark blue to orange, crimson, magenta, white, vermilion, yellow, cobalt blue. Sparkling with light of brass and bayonet lines, through which the mounted officers moved as centaurs in a steel cane brake, flickering with gleam of rifle barrels, shimmer of silken hats, flicker of canes, it bright- ened with tricolored umbrellas, the hues of old and honorable regalia, gonfalonades of pennons, flags and banners. While up above there was the flash of smoke-gray, swooping air- planes, silver balloons, and over al] like a giant truncheon of some titan field marshal, pointing the way, sailed the dirigible Los Angeles. In some ways, it was like an ancient triumph of imperial Rome. Victor and vanquished walked in it; and class and part consciousness remained forgotten; while bands resounded and the popu- lace cheered. “Bread is assured and here’s a gorgeous circus,” thought the watchers, The triumph had its tribunes and lictors, its rulers from the Capi- tol, and proconsuls and governors from the provinces, its legionaries, senators, centurions, mounted patricians, and trudging plebians, all thrilled to pass the imperator’s dals. Hoover came to the reviewing stand accompanied by the riders of Fort Myer. Third Cavalrymen mountde on trim, clipped bays, with sabers slapping smartly against saddles, and smart, slick harness of yellow, white and black. Summerall, of Peking, the Philippines and France, sixth general of the Army and marshal of the parade, mounted on chestnut colored charger, was at the column's head. The Army Band advanoed in gray and silver splendor. Then came brown “doughboys” from Fort Washington, CONTINUED ON PAGE 9, COLUMN 1. 4 000 CHEER CURTIS AT INAUGURAL BALL Vice President Accompanied by Indians; Governors of States Present. TWO BANDS FOR DANCING Vice President Charles Curtis, grand- son of an Indian princess of the Kaw Tribe, last night received an enthuslas- tic ovation from an audience of more \if necessary, speak English with the ‘than 8,000 persons who crowded the” Washington Auditorium when he ar- I rived at the Charity Inaugural Ball es- corted by an entourage of Indian war- riors. | Passing through double lines of sail- ors, soldiers and marines, the Vice President smilingly made his way to the flag-bedecked stage amid the war whoops of his followers and the ap- plause of the great throng. The climax of the demonstration was reached when the leader of the Indian band accom- panying the new Vice President leaped in the air and gave a series of Indian cries for Mr. Curtis. All the other Indians immediately followed sult, apd the air was rent with yells which once would have caused a panic on the Western prairies. This time, however, they were uttered by friends greeting one of their own blood who had achieved the second highest office in the United States. They were voiced by men who although they ap- peared glistening in plumes and war paint held college degrees and could, modulated tones of education. Chief Roaring Thunder, one of the Indians in the group, came to the front of the stage, following the ova- tion, and sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” before an audience that cheered itself hoarse. Finally, Vice President Curtis was able to bow him- self somewhat out of the limelight, while the applause continued for other celebrities and ranking officials of the new administration, ag they entered the hall, accompanied by their glitter- ing staffs. Next in popularity to the Vice Presi- dent (to judge by the cheering), was the entry of Maj. John Coolidge, now a member of the staff of Gov. Trum- bull, of Connecticut. Gov. Trumbull himself received a good deal of hand- Clapping, but it was nothing compared to that which greeted the young son of the retiring President. Clad in his blue and gold uniform, he blushingly acknowledged the cries of “John! John!” which rang through the ball- room. Precedence was forgotten as governor after governor walked through the line of 200 uniformed men down the center CONTINUED ON PAGE 4, COLUMN 6.

BLIMPS FIGHT HIGH WIND The monster air parade scheduled as 1a feature of the inauguration yester- day found itself tangled in an almost hopeless snarl by fog and rain, which descended suddenly upon the Eastern seaboard. Instead of the 55 planes and 5 airships which were expected to fly, 27 planes finally got in the alr and struggled through the fog, followed by qe five dirigibles, all of which managed to take their place in the procegsion. Meanwhile, Army planes were scat- tered from Langly Field, Va., to Mitchel Field, N. Y., forced down by impossible 'flying conditions. According to Air Corps officers, it is little less than a miracle that there were no seccidents. The planes which participated in the parade included eighteen Navy and Marine Corps planes from the Naval Air Station and Quantico, and nine Army planes from Bolling Field. Led by Brig. Gen. B. D. Foulois, assistant chief of the Army Air Corps, they took off at 2:30 o'clock circled twice above and few over the Capitol and up Penn- sylvania avenue. At 2:45 o'clock they returned to the field, but required more than 30 minutes to land, on account of the fog and mud. Twenty-eight bombardment and ob- servation planes from Langly and Mitchel Fields, which had been based at Logan Field, Baltimore, Md., and Quantico, Va., were held on the ground by the weather. The group from Quantico consisted of Army observation ships from Lang- ley Field, which were to have joined the formation above Alexandria, Va. They reached the rendezvous point on tributing food to Russian children after the World War. Australian Flag Flies Over Senate Chamber The flag of Australia waved from the roof of the Senate chamber yesterday while Herbert Hoover was being sworn in as President. The emblem was planted on the roof by an Australian Boys Band. The vis- iting youngsters from the Antipodes were in rare good humor despite the fact a the rain had soaked them to the skifi.

While he was gone thick fog sud- denly swept under the group and they returned to their base. When the meés- senger reached the rendezvous point he failed to find them and also returned to Quantico. At Logan Field nine Falcons from Mitchell Field arrived during the morn- ing, followed shortly by five bombers from Langley. A few minutes before they expected the signal to start for the rendezvous over Alexandria rain started and an almost impenetrable fog rolled on the field.

In a suite in the Mayflower Hotel rested another whose almost boyiah enthusiasm throughout the day left no doubt as to the happiness that had come to him, an enthusiasm that despite the weather that chilled the bodies of marching men did not dampen the warmth of his soul. It was the new Vice President, Charles Curtis. i And while all this was about, a third gréat actor in the world’s drama was speeding homeward, back to the Vermont hills that reared __ him, presumably laughing inside himself at matters and men as BO seemed always to be doing in the eight years that Washington knew His parting shot was characteristic of that humor which shone but seldom through his reticent veil. Parting Shot Joke at Summer White House. It was a message laughing at the Congress and saying, apropos ef the passage of an appropriation for a presidential retreat in nearby Virginia, that the country’s legislative body had come to give the — consideration to Presidents that it gives to “birds-and other wild life.” Z The day was kind to these three men, more so inant wensse the thousands of lesser folk who came here from near and far to give courage for the life that. Hes ahead, and who, too, bémg human, themselves as part of the history that was being made. nog For Mr. Hoover and Mrs. Hoover and their two boys—and for Mr. Crrtis and his sister. Mrs. Edward E. Gann—it must have béen several hours before the din died out of their ears. Curtis and then Mr. Hoover, had stood in impressive surroundings and amid the pomp and splendor that is the state in asserting its full majesty, and had sworn to uphold the high offices that had been given to them, and In turn then delivered their inaugural orations. 100,000 Hear Message After Oath Is Given.

Then came Mrs. Hoover, radiantly eager t® meet the day that was before her in a maroon ensemble of velvet with a black silk coat with a sable collar. She Were a maroon, close-fitting velvet hat.

Vice | President Dawes had passed out of the writing a half hour or so before, after he, in the stately Senate chamber. had administered the oath to his successor Considerate of Crowd. And it should be said thgt tmme- diately he was transfoimed from a President-elect to a President the Hoovers showed a fine sentiment for the people who came here to add to their happiness. The drizzling rain that had set in even before Mr. Hoover became Presi- dent was now a downpour. but it did not break up the crowd. It had come from near and far to see this thing, to feel as if it were a part of it, and it did not intend to withdraw in the face of any enemy in the skies. So Mrs. Hoover, coming from the inaugural stand and seeing a closed car awaiting her and the President. asked that the top be moved back. “If these people can stand in the rain,” she said, “so can we.” Car Open and Exposed. So it was open and exposed that they made their triumphal ride up the Avenue and so was the car which bore the Vice President and Mrs. Gann. The rain beat down upon Mr. Hoover's temples and streamed across his face. It brought out again that errant forelock that is so often a prom- inence of him—but he did not tire. He was the President now. That applause going down was for the man, or 60 Mr. Hoover assumed, for the may in whose Cabinet he served and under whom he rode to the Presideiucy. So his feelings were not restrained, and neither were Mrs. Hoover's. Her maroon hat and her coat were soaked, but they were appre- Clative of the acclaim that after all the years in China in remote places of the world, in woe and in weal, had finally come to them. No Longer Bashful. Neither was it the quiet, bashful Herbert Hoover of yesterday that re- viewed the thousands who subsequently passed before him. First it was the Army Band in bluish gray jacket and trousers, the latter striped with red, playing that rollicking, carefree ar- tillery song which sends men off to war and keeps them cheerfully fighting. Mr. Hooyer alternately sat and stood as the procesion steadily unfolded be- fore him. Seasoned military men of World War, Spanish-American and Civil Wars passed. He hopes he will never have to add to them—he said as much in his inaugural address. There care, too, people from the town of West Branch, Iowa, where he first saw the light of day. and stepping to the tune of the “Iowa rn Song.” There were cowboys and Indians for Mr. Curtis’ especial delight; there were very, very young cadets who outmarched the older men. There were very famous military or- ganizations, seasoned in the Nation’s annals of force and bloodshed. There was no end of them. One group fol- lowed another, with the jauntily step- ping bluejackets, those white caps hung rakishly on their heads, just as prom!- nent as they always are, on parade or under fire. {t is said of Mr. Hoover that he dis- occasions to wear.

COOLIDGE SMILES GAYLY By DUDLEY NICHOLS. There ‘s one thing stends out in the rainy scene on Capitol Hil when Presi- dent Coolidge became plain Mr. Cool- idge, of Northampton, and plain Mr, Hoover became the thirty-first Presi- dent, and that is the way the first named smiled when he shook hands with the new incumbent who had just taken the oath of office from Chief Justice Taft and kissed the Bibie. There had been nothing seen lIike it since the man from Northampton had come to Washington. It was like watching a man unsling his haversack at. the top of a hard climb. It caught the crowds. Thousands ejaculated their surprise, “Look at that grin.” It must even be reported that there was excitement in the press stands among the several hundred men who have known Calvin Coolidge for eight years, many of them in eonference with him twice a week. These men were as dumbfounded as if they had seen a chunk of New England granite burst into flame and burn like coal. “Look at that, he’s smiling. I never saw the like of tha.” Differed From Other Smiles. There was no resemblance to the camera smile of his later manner. This was No obedience of face muscles to the mind, but the welling of a kind of joyous contentment that has seldom visited Mr. Coolidge’s face. But the momentary levity of the re- tiring President was offset by the grav- ity of the incoming President. Mr. Hoover was taking on the load which had lightened 3 Vermonter and had matters of import to impart. While Calvin Coolidge quietly shook hands with his friends on the rostrum and went off in his car to Union Sta- tion to board the Montreal Express for home, President Hoover, in a plain black overcoat, his head bare, took the rain on his face and spoke for better than half an hour, the battery of micro- phones picking up his rather low voice and making a Demosthenes of him, the words rolling out from the hidden horns to the farthest of the ranked thousands. Rain Runs Down His Forehead. The rain ran down his fine, high fore- head, made his squarish face shine in the gray light and found its way down into his high, round-cornered collar. The new President gave it no heed. Eyes unlifting from the yellow pages of the book in which his inaugural ad- he read away with the methodical ef- ficiency of a well-oiled machine, hardly stopping for the bursts of cheering, which were especially thick during his statements on enforcement of the eighteenth amendment. The draggled crowd waited patiently Only at the last did it thin out a trifle. People couldn’t be blamed. It was hard to take so much water, even with &a speech on dry enforcement. For a long time the thousands of spectators shouted down the umbrellas which opened in front of them defiantly, but in the end every possible umbrella was opened by common consent and neigh- bors endeavored to edge in under the dripping points.

Reads Without Gesturing. Inaugural committees were careless of their star actor.

It was a case of take your pick, because there ap- peared to be little help coming from Auditorium aids, although the score or more of police, under direction of In- spector William 8S. Shelby, did their best. Once inside the Auditorium, the ‘guests found themselves in another ‘jam. Every one tried to get as close ' to the stage which seated the governors and other distinguished guests as possi- ble. As a result, a number of ladies found considerable difficulty in locating their escorts.

A. T. Goodwyn, Veterans’ Commander, Is Recog- nized From Reviewing Stand in Inaugural Parade; Pledges Support to President. (Associated Press.) President Hoover cnd Chief Justice Taft paid homage to the Confederate colors yesterday when they salu®ed Gen. A. T. Goodwyn, commander in chief of the United Confederate Veterans, as he passed the White House in the inaug- ural parade. Gen. Goodwyn came to Washington to further his plan for a reunion this year of the veterans of the Northern and Southern armies in the Civil War. Crowds which lined the route of the Perade cheered as he pasesd in a car fying Confederate colors. He was recog~ nized by those on the presiacitial re- viewing stand and saluted sniartly in return for the doffing of hats and the waving of hands. “Tl was at Sumter with Beaureguard, at Lookout Mountain with Bragg and I have now been at Washington with Hoover,” Gen. Goodwyn said after the ceremonies. “While I am an inflexible Democrat, I recognize the fact that Mr. Hoover was elected by a decisive vote of the people. H» is our Chief Executive and I will be among the many to honor and support him in every action,” of | sequence was that the other notables were sheltered while he stood barefaced to the rain blowing in from the south- east. The new President read his address without illustrative gesturings, keeping his hands in the book of yellow’ pages and never once, within the observation of this correspondent, raising his eyes until he reached the utilmate period ani stepped back out of the rain while the Marine Band struck up the Na- tional Anthem, If the rain was unclvil to Mr, Hoover, at least Mr. Hoover made the best of it, and he had nobody hold an umbrella over him on the inaugural stand. leader. who opposed Curtis for the Vice Presidency in the last election.

The chamber was in confusion as Tilson spoke. Members with hats and coats on their arms were leaving through the main doorway for the in- augural ceremonies. As the Tennes- seean rose from the seat, a hush fell. The exit of members ceased. Garrett Expresses Farewell. Garrett walked to the wall in front of the rostrum. Turning and facing the Speaker, one of his closest personal friends, he said: “Mr. Speaker and my friénds of the House: This is perhaps an occasion when it would be quite proper for me to say something of a personal nature or carrying a personal flavor, and yet I shall not do that because if I were to attempt it I realize I would display an emotion which, while I certainly would not be ashamed of it, nevertheless would not be of tnterest to the House.” The Tennesseean’s final plea was far State's rights. “I belleve that the one greatest strain on this Nation was with- stood ir the Civil War.” he said. “In the final analysis, paradoxical as it would seem, each side was fighting for a fundamental principle, and that was the preservation of local self-govern- ment.” British Arrest Gandhi, Revolt Leader in India Bombay, India, March 4 (A.P.).—The Times says that Mahatma Mohandas K Gandhi! had been arrested in Calcutta. _ Gandhi long has been a leader of the nationalist movement in India He has advocated passive resistance by means of boycotts on English products and similar methods to attam an indepen- dent government for India, rather than the use of force.

Evidence of a deep streak of senti- ment in Herbert Hoover showed yester- day in the midst of the most momen- tous and the busiest time of his life, as he thought of his little old school teacher, Mollie Carran, of West Branch, Iowa, and invited her to an honored seat near him for the Inauguration ceremonies. There, tremulous and happy, arrayed in her best black silk, she sat with the notables of the and watched the man whom as little boy she had taught in the classroom, take the oath for the highest office in the land. Until she got to Washington, Mrs. Carran did not know that she would have a seat on the platform. She made the long trip of a thousand miles con- tent if she even got a glimpse through a spygiass of her idol. Then came word from Representative ©. C. Cole, of Iowa, that Mr. Hoover had provided special seats for Mrs. Carran and her husband. both on the platform at the inauguration ceremonies and close to him in the reviewing stand. “Ticket to Heaven.” Carran was almost too happy to talk. “I’ve nothing left to wish for in life now,” she said. “I could not be any more pleased if it was a ticket to heaven.” Herbert Hoover has always made knorn his respect and fondness for his old schoo] teacher. He has pub- licly given her credit for “laying the foundation of his knowledge.” But that he should have paused to remem- ber her in the most important moment of his career touched Mrs. Carran more than anything he could have done. Through the soaking rain three loyal sons of West Branch, Hoover’s birth- place, W. B. Anderson, F. A. Pearson and Paul Coulter, carried the Iowa banner the length of the parade yesterday ahead of Gov. John Hammill and his staff who rode in cars and the Coe Col- lege Band of 70 pleces from Cedar Rapids. Rain Deters Marchers.

The bared head of the outgoing President, Calvin C oolidge, may way, and the pity of it is that the crowd did not know the reason why. For if it had, impatience would have given way to the biggest laugh of the day. It is a story as old as the race itself, the story of two women forcing their husbands to wait. One of the women was the First in the Land, and the other was the First Lady to Be. Lost In the Catacombs. It seems, as story tellers say, that Mrs. Calvin Coolidge and Mrs. Herbert Hoover got lost in the Capitol cata- combs, and while they were wandering around their husbands—the principal actors—had to wait. It was 12:50 o’clock when the first celebrities walked out of the Capito) and under the canopy. They were the new Vice President, Charles Curtis, and the retiring Vice President, Charles Gates Dawes. Curtis. a scarf wound around his neck, waved his silk hat and the crowd yelled. Came then the membefs of the Cab- inet, senators, representatives and the plumed members of the Diplomatic Corps. A few minutes later the bugler of the Marine Band arose and a series of flourishes rent the air. This signalized the approach of the Presi- dent and the President-elect. Chief Justice Arrives. First, however, came Chief Justice William Howard Taft, his venerable head encased in a skul! cap and his huge frame swathed in black robes. In 1909, he had taken the Presidential oath himself, and since then he has ad- ministered it to two others—Harding and Coolidge. Behind Taft and his austere asso- clates on the Supreme Court bench, came President Coolidge and President- elect Hoover. Alongside of Coolidge walked Representative Bertrand Snell, of New York, who headed the House members on the .joint congressional committee on the inaugural, and along- side Hoover walked Senator George H. Moses, of New Hampshire, the Senate’s | chief representative on the committee. Coolidge and Hoover went to the front of the stand and waved, and a roar arose from the crowd. Now the great moment was near. Radio an- nouncers, perched in little glass cages, talked furiously into their microphones, reporters scribbled on water-soaked paper. and photographers worked their cameras madly. Spectators Use Telescopes. Spectators far in the distance were seen to raise telescopes and field glasses, and train them on the stage. Down be- low came the cry, “Down with those umbrellas!” One irate citizen took his cane and took a whack at an umbrella that was blocking his view.

But why this delay? Why didn’t the ceremony begin? The answer came a few minutes later when Mrs. Coolidge and Mrs. Hoover hurried onto the stand, breathing a bit hard but laughing like two school girls. They had finally found their way out of the labyrinth that is the Capitol. With the two ladies were the sons of one of them, Herbert Hoover, jr., and Alan Hoover, looking like Eton school- boys in their shiny high hats. Now the historic moment was here. Chief Justice Taft arose and took a position at the right of a rostrum over- looking a giittering emblem of the Na- tion. Doffing his hat, Hoover took a position opposite him. Oath Intoned by Taft. On the face of this man, this modest blacksmith’s son, who, battling against tremendous odds, fought his way to the highest office of the mighiest nation in the world, was an expression that indicated more than his words ever could with what solemnity and rever- ence he regarded the post he was about to assume, As Hoover placed his left hand on the ancient Bible and raised his right aloft, | the deep voice of Chief Justice Taft broke the hush that had fallen over the scene. “I do solemnly swear,” Taft intoned, | “that I will faithfully execute the of- fice of President of the United States, and will, to the best of my ability, pre- serve, protect and defend the Consti- tution of the United States.” “I do,” said Hoover, and the words, flung out over an area of four blocks by loud speakers, brought a roar of acclaim from the crowd. Kisses Favorite Verse. Hoqver then bent over and kissed his favorite verse in the Bible: “Where there is no vision the people perish; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Thus, in a twinkling, Herbert Hoover became the thirty-first President of the United States, and the man behind him, who had been the thirtieth, be- came Citizen Calvin Coolidge. And judging from the expression on his face, he wasn’t sorry for the transition. The two men stood before the crowd, smiled and shook hands, and again a cheer rent the rain-soaked air. Hoover then faced the battery of loud speakers and, reading from a manuscript bound in a leather cover, began the delivery of his inaugural ad- dress. This was frequently punctuated by cheering. s Ovation for Coolidge. When President Hoover had con- cluded, the Marine Band played “Hail | % to the Chief” and then “The Star- Spangled Banner” while the new iteader stood stiffiy at attention. The tumult and shouting were over now and the celebrities were about to part. When he arrived, Hoover fol- lowed Coolidge onto the stand.. Now things were reversed, and he led the Way out. As he passed from the stand to his open automobile there were more cheers, and it seemed that Coolidge had been forgotten. But when the latter left he probably got even a greater ovation. seen over Hoover's shoulder. urtis Hastens Back | Adjourn Senate Finds Three or Four Sena- tors in Throng of Janitors to Aid. (Associated Press.) One of the strangest sessions in the long history of the Senate occurred to- day when Vice President Curtis has- tened back to the almost deserted chamber to declare it adjourned, before he rode down the Avenue in the in- augural parade. Formal adjournment was neglected in the excitement following the inaugura- tion of Mr. Curtis and the ensuing de- parture of the distinguished guests for the presidential ceremony. Four years ago Mr. Dawes forgot it, too, and forgot to return to perform that deed. But Mr, Curtis recalled it today. As soon as Herbert Hoover had concluded his inaugural address, Mr. Curtis rushed back 2 the Senate. Fortunately, there werg 4 ree or four members present, ‘cieining up their desks, Janitors were busy stacking the hundreds of extra chairs in the room. Mr, Curtis went immediately to the dais. Not finding the gavel, he pounded for order. The janitors stopped short, Senator Hale (Republican), Maine, moved that the Senate meet daily at noon+the regular hour. This was ap- proved, Hale then moved adjournment and Mr. Curtis went on his way. Plan to Modify Dry Law Killed by Indiana Senate Indianapolis, Ind., March 4 (A.P.).— The Perkins resolution memortalizing Congress to modify the eighteenth amendment on the ground that it had failed of its purpose was killed in the Indiana Senate today with the adop- tion of a majority report of the Fed- eral relations committee. A minority report, signed only by Senator Chester A. Perkins, Democrat, of St. Joseph County, a dry, recommended passage. In the resolution Senator Perkins, the author, declared the eighteenth amendment had failed of its purpose and that crime and corruption were the result. THE ALTAMONT Wyoming Ave. and Columbia Rd.

FELICITATED BY MIKLAS Paris, March 4 (A.P.).—The inaugu- ration of Herbert Hoover has attracted more attention in France than that o! any American President since George Washington took office under the sea! of. Franco-American alliance. All newspapers printed copious de- scriptions of the ceremony at Wash- ington today. President Hoover’s inau- gural speech was reproduced.’verbatim in several papers while others gave vol- uminous extracts and supplemented them with lengthy comment. The French press emphasized Mr. Hoover’s firmness against participatio: in the League of Nations, but found some cohsolation in the expression of his desire for American entry into the world court. . References to enforcement of the prohibition amendment were treated with more or less successful attempts at humor, mingled with a tinge of re- gret that so rich a market for French wines should be close for another four years. / New Policy Held Possible. The Temps, influential afternoon newspaper, remarked: “The fact that Mr. Hoover was elected by the Republican party does not necessarily mean that he will con- tinue Mr. Coolidge’s policies. His views of the problems of general settlement of reparations, interallied debts and dis- armament may. entirely differ from his predecessor’s,” The Temps concludes with the beliet that “a new period of foreign policy is beginning for the United States.” Vienna, March 4 (A.P.).—President ‘Miklas of Austria today sent a warm message of felicitation Herbert Hoo- ver upon his assumption of the Presi- dency. The message mentioned Aus- tria’s gratitude to Mr. Hoover for his work in feeding 400,000 Austrian chil- dren dyring the postwar famine period It read: “On the occasion of your inaugura- tion as President of the United States ‘| Austria sends you her sincerest good wishes for a successful and prosperous tenure of office. We shall remember with everlasting gratitude your gen- erosity and untiring efforts in assuag- ing our suffering during one of the most critical periods of our natjonai existence.” Hopes for Tanca-Arica Solution. Santiago, Chile, March 4 (A.P.)—El Mercurio, an important Chilean news- aper, hopes that President Hoover's nauguration will mean a step forward in the solution of the thorny Tacna- Arica question between Chile and Peru. El rcurio praises Hoover in an edi- torial, remar that his friendship for both Chile and Peru will assist him in settlement of their difficulties. exico City, March 4 (A.P.).—Excel- sior today editorially felicitates Her- bert Hoover on the occasion of his in- auguration The paper expresses the hope that He will continue the policy of Be oe Coolidge toward Mexico. e editorial concludes: “The Hoover administration comes into office ¢@ur- ing a truce which ts doing much for Mexican-American amity. e Hoover Government has it in its wer to strengthen or destroy the nds. of friendship which Mexico for her part sincerely desires to maintain.” Leguia Seeks Aid for Peace.

“ae ary GES WORLD RITES 120 Stations Linked by Two Chains in Record Radio Hookup. eet: F VOICES PLAIN AND CLEAR By ROBERT D. HEINL. Despite the deluge later in the day, the broadcasting of the inaugural cere- monles was the most successful and the most extensive in the history of Tadio. A final check-up last night with offi- elals revealed that 50 stations in cities from coast-to-coast were part of the Golumbia network, while 67 stations formed the National Broadcasting Co. chain, the last named augmented by three short-wave stations, W8XK, in connection with the Westinghouse Sta- tion EDKA at Pittsburgh, W2XAD and W2XAP with the General Electric Sta- them WGY at Schenectady, which are believed to have carried the inaugural ceremonies to the remotest parts of the world. | ' This established a record —2* ot 120 stations carrying one event.

Few Private Farewells Said to News Writers at the Station. Former President Calvin Coolidge took of his hat and coat, fixed himself in a chair on an outgoing train yesterday afternoon, turned and said, “Well, Grace, I'll bet a lot of people got wet.” A big rain and umbrella inauguration was over. President-elect Herbert Hoo- ver had become President Herbert Hoo- ver, President Calvin Coolidge had be- come former President Calvin Coolidge. Hundreds of thousands of persons had cheered in the one, cheered out the other. And notwithstanding their bright- ness, the usual smile of the “lady” and the rather forced smile of the man, the going of the Coolidges was not without ite touch of sadness—sad when Mrs. Coolidge turned to the servants as she left the White House yesterday moring, sad when they both stood on the rear platform of their private car, the New England, and waved until they were out of sight yesterday after- noon. Mr. Coolidge refrained from saying: good-by publicly to the crowd which was at the station, but he spoke into a microphone twice, once to say farewell as President to the peo- ple of the United States and again to express gratification that the fund sought had been raised for the Clarke School for the Deaf, in which both he and Mrs. Coolidge, particularly Mrs. Coolidge, were interested—no more than a few words In each instance. The Coolidges were good, however, about saying farewell privately to friends nd acquaintances. Just a few minutes before the train pulled out at 2:30 o'clock, taking the retiring Presi- dent and his wife back. to their old home at Northampton, Mr. Coolidge came to the steps of the car and re- ceived the farewell benediction of each of the newspaper men and women who were the: to cover his departure. . “All aboard,” shouted the conductor of the train, the Montreal Flyer, and eas Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge stood on the rear platform, cameramen popping their flashlights, some one shouted, “Come on, now, three cheers for President Coolidge.” And the crowd, joining in, gave them with a will. No sooner were they over than one of her fans, and they are legion, shouted, “Now, three cheers for Mrs. Coolidge,” and they were equally if not more v . Then, the train pulled away. Up betimes at the White House yes- terday morning, the President and Mrs. Coolidge had breakfast, after which they bade farewell to those who hav# served them during thelr nearly seven years of residence there. Shortly be- fore 10 o’clock the exterior aspect changed, luxurious limousines wheeling up the drive to discharge their smartly clad passengers. Members of the Cool- idge Cabinet began to arrive and short- ly thereafter came President Hoover, . accompanied by Mrs. Hoover, Senator Moses and Representative Snell. Exactly at 11 o’clock a bugle sounded. With a troop of cavalry in advance, the automobile Coolidge, Hoover, Moses and Snell rolled down the drive, . stopping several times to permit pho- tographers to take pictures. As they turned out of the White House grounds and onto the Avenue on their way to the tol the crowds began to cheer, and the way they cheered, Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Hoover, with ex- Ppansive smiles, bowing and tipping their hats at the acclaim. AS —* neared the President’s Room in the Capitol, Mr. Coolidge was still ; Mr. Hoover’s face had taken almost immediately that President Coolidge might conclude his business. Heads of various departments and Commissioners of the District were awaiting the President. Shortly after he entered the room the members of his Cabinet filed in. After them came other personages who wished to sa good-by. The President signed the b to enlarge the plaza at the Capitol. Laying down a cigar which he began smoking after entrance into his office, President Coolidge, accompanied by the to the Senate Vice President, heard the new Vice President’s inaugural address, listened to the swearing in of the new senators and watched adjournment. The procession to the inaugural stand found Vice President Curtis and the way, with members of the Supreme Court next in line, then rresident Cool- idge, and after him the President elect. After he took his seat at Mr. Hoover's left on the platform, Presi- dent Coolidge turned and congratulated the new Vice President. In a moment, the women began to appear, Mrs. Dawes, Mrs. E. E. Gann, sister o* the new Vice President, and then Mrs. Cooiidge and Mrs. Hoover in the order named. Immediately after Chief Justice Taft had admin‘stered the oath of office to President Hoover, who answered with a positive and solemn “I do.” Mr. Coolidge arose from his chair and smil- ingly congratulated his successor. Mr. Hoover’s ‘naugural aadresss followed. This over, President Hoover sgain was congratulated by his predecessor and Other nearby notables, Mrs, Hoover smilingly chatted with Mrs. Coolidge. Soon, at a prearranged signal, the Hoovers left the platform. The Coolidges waited, talking with peared. Then they made their way from the platform to their automobile, which took them to the Union Station, where quite a crowd was gathered.

General Notes of I naugural; Throng of Visitors Orderly The first rain fell at 12:05 yesterday afternoon and it was so slight that it caused no inconvenience, but that which fel] later was more than an in- convenience; it was @ nuisance. ‘Charies L,. Mitchell, official weather forecaster, who had remained a pes simist for four days preceding the in- — 52 stuck to his guns to the last, “It will rain plenty before the after- noon is over,” and no truer prediction was ever made. \ “It ain’t gonna rain no more,” musi- cally presented by the Cowboy Band near the rear of the parade, drew the Bronx cheer from a dripping, foot- soaked crowd, but the cowboys followed the number with wild yells and bron- cho-busting cries which turned the audience in their favor again. Events yesterday combined to greatly enlarge Washington’s “congested area. Due to the fact that Pennsylvania ave- nue from the Capitol to Nineteenth street northwest was kept clear of traf- fic, persons who sousht to approach the line of the parade in automobiles from the north side were forced to park their machines as far away as N street rorthwest. One of the saddest features of the rain was the fact that it prevented the delegation of Indians, here to horior Vice President Curtis, from marching. They were wearing war paint, full head- ilring | dresses of feathers, and had on their brightest raiment, but when the down- pour started it was decided they should ride in automobiles, this depriving the 8 tors of what had promised to be e most colorful unit in the parade. Honors as the bravest man in the entire line of marchers are awarded unanimously to the Indian brave who rode down the Avenue on his pony, clad only in the breech-cloth which marked “full dress” for the Redskins back in the days when scalping was popular. Apparently he heeded not the pelting and as a specimen of man- hood he was a fit subject for a sculp- tor or an artist, as he sat astride his pony. Umbrella venders, making their ap- pearance almost with the first drop of rain, did a land-office bysiness with prices ranging from $1 to $10, and no questions asked. Even paper souvenir umbrellas disappeared like hot cakes while thousands used newspapers as temporary shelters from the downpour. Shortly before noon Pennsylvania avenue was a seeting mass of humanity, the crowds gathering early to see the Presidential party go from the White House to the Capitol and also to watch the privileged speed up and down the thoroughfare on their way to various functions on the program. Smooth running, sleek ———— limousines, American flags and carrying diplomatic, Army, Navy and Marine officers and dignitaries from every State in the Union, purred up and down the line of march during the morning, entertaining what might otherwise have been an impatient mob. Window spaces, balconies and other vantage 2* except the official stands, filled by noon, but some of these groups disbanded quickly when the rain . The official stands Mever did fill completely, which was to be expected with the inclement weather, There was no disorder nor was there any chance for happenings out of the routine.

An unidentified man, suddenly seized with illness after a two-hour wait for the parade, struck out blindly with his fist. The result was that he knocked groggy @ Baltimore policeman who was assisting him. The victim of the attack was revived at Emergency Hospital and left without giving his name. The tiniest outfit in the whole line of march was the Boys Harmonica Band from Lake Worth, Fla.

Only one foreign emblem was flown to the breeze during the ceremonies at the Capitol. This occurred when the group of Austrailan cadets raised the Australian flag after they had wit- messed the swearing-in exercises from the roof of the Capitol. President Hoover in his early days served as a mining engineer in Australia. When the Army Band, first musical organization of the parade, swung into step and played ite first plece, specta- tors saw for the first time a “glucken spiel” as one of the instruments. In case it went unnoticed, it was the in- strument carried by the first.man in the band, a sort of combination xylo- phone and chimes. It was captured by American troops during the German retreat in the World War.

It was learned, however, that the Coolidge articles will not deal with the fine points of diplomacy or politics, put rather with the “human” eide of life in the White House, Deals With President’s Life. Mr. Coolidge will write of such things as the health of a President, how it is maintained so that he may give full energy of body and mind to his task of serving the people, and in what ways the health problem of a President dif- fers from that of other men. He may tell, too, to judge from the general type of material contracted for, of the social lHfe of the White House and of the homely incidents of human interest in a presidential existence which are generally hidden from pub- lic view behind the formalities of pub- lic appearances. What Mr. Coolidge will receive for his articles in the American Magazine could not be learned, but it is known that one other offer made to him for part of his literary output suggested a yearly retainer of $25,000 and a guar- antee of $1 a word for all the “copy” he cared to turn in. “3 A.

The motorcycle of a policeman ac- companying the Governor of Pennsyl- vania suddenly “died” under him at Fourteenth and the Avenue. He pulled it off to one side and the parade lost one participant. Just as the Pennsylvania Republi- can Club, in silk hats and frock coats, neared the District Building a heavy shower began to fall. Almost before the eye could follow the movement red, white and blue umbrellas had been hoisted over the delegation and they marched merrily on. Among the many young, able-bodied men in the various divisions of the escort for Gov. Harry Byrd of Virginia there marched ome gray-haired, mite of a man, wearing the Confederate unil- form. Unlike many of his cemrades he refused to ride in a machine and his jaunty step along side that of younger men drew for him many a cheer from the spectators.

The American Legion Band will greet the President with “Home, Sweet Home,” and that selection will be fol- lowed by “America,” “Stars and Stripes Forever,” and “America, the Beautiful.” Another Army truck arrived from Washington last night, laden with boxes, barrels and crates. It was un- loaded partly at the Coolidge’s modest home, at the Forbes Library and at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Hills, friends and neighbors of the Coolidges. The remainder of the cargo was taken to the warehouse, where much of the Gowns Women Wear Make Ball Colorful Spectacle Wives of Officials Appear in Varied Costumes at Dance For Charity Following Inaugural; Sister and Daughters of Curtis Centers of Fashion. — Gowns worn by the wives and other women members of the families of the notables who attended the’ inaugural charity ball last night at the audi- torium were particularly striking.

John Allan Dagherty, who was in charge of the ball. The govérnors arrived five minutes apart, each distin- guished guest being received at the . Four noncommissioned officers of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps stepped forward and acted as an escort, bearing the governor’s flag and the banner of the State he represented. Rear Admiral Andrew Long and Gen. William T. Connor, Col. Osmun Latrobe and Capt. Wilson Brown acted as a guard of honor, and each governor had, in addition, his staff of officers. In some instances the number of colonels on the staffs of Southern governors caused confusion. Regulations stipu- lated that there must be only four colonels, and when as many as eighteen or twenty appeared, a diplomatic prob- lem was raised. This was solved when the extra colonels, of their own accord. stepped modestly aside upon reaching the platform, while four only accom- panied their chief to the higher level. Iowa Cheered for Hoover. Iowa, as the native State of Presi- dent Evover, was the recipient of pro- longed applause from the audience who honored the absent Chief Execu- tive by loyally shouting on that occa- sion. Full military honors were ac- corded the retiring Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, commandant of the United expired today. He was given the proper number of “flares” by the Navy Band and was escorted to the platform, ac- companied by his wife, with all the ceremony given to the arrival of a governor. Vice President Curtis made his entry at exactly 11:15, escorted, in addition to the Indians, by his sister, Mrs. Ed- ward E. Gann, followed by his daugh- tera and their husbands and Mr. Gann. The Vice President’s flag was carried by men from the presidential yacht May- flower. After the Vice President and all the governors were present, the stage presented a brilliant scene with scores of American and State flags as a background. Each governor’s flag was placed near his seat on the plat- form, there being 23 altogether. Two Bands Alternate. Two bands were stationed in the middle of the big Auditorium—the Paul Specht Band, of New York, and the orchestra of the United States Navy Band, led by Lieut. Charles H. Benter. These bands alternated in playing for the dancing and marches and proces- sions for the various celebrities, Vir- tually every ambassador and minister stationed at the Capital, was seated in the boxes partly surrounding the hall. In this semicircle might be observed many people distinguished in the so- cial and official life of Washington. Although no check-up was made of the number of guests who attended the function, an estimate placed the num- ber of those dancing upstairs at con- siderably more than 7,000, while several thousand more remained on the floor below. There were, as might be expected at such an enormous fete, many curious costumes and many varieties of guests. Some ‘wore the usual formal evening attire, others had donned dinner jack- ets for the occasion, while still others wandered about the rooms in ordinary lounge suits. Northerners, Southern ers, Westerners and Easterners were present, distinguishable by their ac- cent and their fashion of dressing.

The inaugural parade yesterday passed without any disorder worthy of mote by the police, although two police- men collapsed early in the afternoon from exhaustion and were taken to hospitals.

Six Miles of Wire Used. More than 6 miles of wire and ropes were stretched along the route of the . Parade, 11,000 feet of heavy wire being newly purchased to use yesterday and stretched along the north side of the Avenue. No immediate effort was made to clean the temporary stands which were cluttered with debris.

Retiring and New Presiding Officer of Congressional Body Felicitated. By ALBERT W, FOX. With all™the solemnity and stage- setting incident to the inaugural cere- monies, Charles Curtis became Vice President of the United Statés shortly after noon yesterday. A brief, but deeply impressive inaugural address ex- pressed in terms~+of characteristic earnestness and modesty, the gratitude and pride of the new Vice President, who asked his fellow men for their help and indulgence that he may prove worthy of their choice. The concluding session was marked by a good-natured clash over the Sen- ate rules. Reiterating his antagonism toward unlimited debate, the retiring Vice President, Charles G. Dawes. barked “I take back nothing.” When Charles Curtis had been sworn is as the new Vice President, he told the Senate in measured words that “the Vice President is not one of the makers of law, nor is he consulted actions.” Dawes administered the oath to Curtis in the Senate chamber in the presence of representative diguitaries of the Nation, including the President and the President-elect, Justices of the Supreme Court, foreign envoys. ranking officers of the Army and Navy, gov- ernors of States, legislators and law- makers of both branches of the Con- gress, compactly assembled ior the occasion.

There was & brief session of the Senate after President Hoover’s inau- guration for the purpose of/taking up Cabinet nominations, in case they were transmitted. Harding sent his Cabinet nominations to tr > Senate im- mediately after his inauguration, but the usual practice is to wait until the next day. No Cabinet nominations were ready for the Senate yesterday and the Senate accordingly recessed until noon today. The session wiil be executive and not open to the public. The Senate galleries began to fill be- fore 11 o'clock, when the morning ses- ‘sion convened. Newly constructed broadcasting chambers, which looked like telephone booths or old-fashioned corner cupboards, were noted in the two far corners of the chamber. Sen- ators began arriving at 10:45, most of them in formal black cutaway dress. but a number wearing the usual] busi- ness suits, but all of a dark color. Borah Not Present. Senator Watson, the new Republi- can leader, was tn formal dress, &s was Genator Robinson. of Arkansas, leader of the minority.

The senators were all compactly seated on the Republican side to make space available on the minority side for mem- bers of the House. At the stroke of 11, the Senate came to order. Senator Keyes made a motion immediately to deal with the Capitol grounds bill, reparted from the House and this bill passed the Senate perfunc- torily. The prospect of renewed battle over the national origins legislation loomed’ when the House sent over the bill to postpone the date of making the new origins effective until April 1, 1930. Members of the Hoover cabinet had by this time found their assigned seats on the floor, excepting Secretary of State Kellogg and Secretary of Labor Davis, who were to come in with the Coolidge Cabinet. A number of State governors were among the early arrivals. Senator Bingham was attempting to obtain recognition to make a last ef- fort to have the Senate act on the House national origins bill; but Smoot had the floor and refused to yield Smoot paid a tribute to Senator Curtis for his courage and self-reliance and pointed out that all the success which the prospective Vice President had earned in his long career had been by his own efforts. Senator Robinson, the Democratic leader, then added his tribute to Curtis. whom he characterized as “an able suc- cessor to the distinguished gentleman who now retires from the chair.” Robinson Praises Curtis. “We feel,” Robinson added, “that the best traditions of the Senate of the United States will be preserved and continued during his service as pre- siding officer of the Senate.” Bingham finally got the floor at 11:20 and moved that the Senate concur in the House action on national origins. At this point Mrs. Coolidge and: Mrs. Hoover entered the President's gallery together. Mrs. Coolidge was dressed in a fawn-colored traveling sult, with hat to matcn, and Mrs. Hoover was in a bourgandy red ensemble. Reed, of Pennsylvania, tmmediatelv went into action to prevent a vote on Bingham’s motion. It was 11:27 by that time and the task of talking the motion to death was easy, especially as there were other sénators ready to fill- buster in case of need. : Filibuster Is Won. — Copeland, of New York, attempted to | interrupt Reed, but the senator from Pennsylvania shot back, “Not now!” and there were no further attempts at interruption. Reed held the floor until 11:45 and Bingham gave up the fight and asked for a quorum. Senator Sheppard was trying to get recognition at 11:50, when announce- ment came that the Speaker and the members of the House had arrived. After the members of the House came the foreign ambassadors, ministers and charge d'affaires, led by Sir Esme How- ard, the British Ambassador, doyen of the corps. The bright colors of the uniforms of the diplomats addeq glam- our to the scene. Senor Don Manuel C. Tellez, the Mexican Ambassador, and Senor Don Orestes Ferrara, the “Cuban Am or, were conspicuous by their formal black dress. Strict rules of precedence were fol- lowed as the diplomats entered and took their places, Peru following Great Britain, Mexico following Peru. Italy following Mexico, &c. The only touch of informality was when the diploma’s stopped in their procession to shake hands warmly with Speaker Longworth whose seat was half way down on the aisle. Mrs. Longworth was an interest- ed spectator in the President’s gallery Coolidge Cabinet Arrives. The Coolidge Cabinet. led by Secre- tary of State Kellogg. was then an- nougced and made its entrance. The Senate clock by this time was close to the hour of 12. and the stroke of 12 meant adjournment sine die The min- ute hand took a ten-minute jump back- ward, and the process was repeated at intervals to suit the emérgency.

Curtis received a great ova- tion when he entered in company with the committee assigned to escort him to the chamber. There were rounds of applause on the floor and the occu- pants of the galleries rose en masse and continued the ovation. The entrance cf President Coolidge brought similar ap- plause, and the President smiled oroad- ly as he advanced toward his desig- nated seat under the rostrum. Mem- bers of the committee for inaugural ceremonies escorted him. Hoover’s Arrival Applauded. President-elect Hoover then entered the chamber with his committee of es- cort, and there v?re more cheers and applause in the galleries. Mr. Hoover was escorted to a seat next to that of President Coolidge on the rostrum There was a momentary lull,“and the stage setting was complete when Vice President Dawes rose to deliver his farewell from the rostrum. Every seat in every gallery was occu- pied and a colorful picture was pre- sented, with blue, hght green and touches of dark red predominating in President-elect were in the front row of the President’s gallery. Wivea and daughters of the foreign diplomats oc- cupied all the available space in the gallery reserved for the diplomats. J Reuben Clark, jr. Undersecretary of State, and Wilbur J. Carr, Assistant Secretary of State, were in the -liplo- matic gallery. re had been advance intimat‘ons that Dawes would strike fire again in his long battle against the Senate rules when he took leave of the Senate. This was chiefly due to the fact that no advance copies of his remarks had been given out. The anticipated -ef- erence to the rules came at the end of a brief speech and had all the old- times Dawes fire and enthusiasm. Dawes Hits Senate Rules “I take back nothing,” Dawes chal- lenged, referring to previous statements he had made with respect to a change in the Senate rules. The reception accorded this challenge was whole- hearted, instead of skeptical, for sena- tors on both sides of the chamber have been completely won over by Dawes’ fearless fighting spirit, even though they dp not agree with him in his fi ht against the rules |; “In a few minutes,” Dawes began, | it will be the last official duty which l-am to perform to adjourn the Senate of the United States. “The passing of a VCongress is but an incident in the life of our- great republic, now entering the 140th year of its existence, never stTonger in that which is its greatest bulwark, the love and devotion of a united and happy people. “But to many in this Senate cham- ber it means the breaking of close ties formed by the association of years in a common endeavor, human ties, whose strength is never realized until the time of their sundering is at hand.

Both in this country and abroad there “was intense interest in the first utter- ance of Herbert Hoover as President of the United States. While it was not to -be expected that he would deal with all ‘eutstanding questions, or in detail with aoe of them, his inaugural .address overs a great deal of ground and should + ‘pe read more than once. It is exceed- aay coricise, and the reader must follow fully and read between the lines if : would grasp its full import. With his usual frankness and courage, |, the President went at once to the ques- tion that is paramount above all others fat this time—the breakdown of justice band the spread of crime. He surveyed :: situation arising from the failure of J— — E * law enforcement, arising in part from — of the judicial system and ~ in part from the failure of the States to 4 ‘do their share in enforcing the prohibi- . ition law. ’ | Mr. Hoover leaves no doubt that he A go to the root of the problem of law , senforcement. He contemplates a reor- ganization - of the Federal system of "judicial procedure as well as a thorough inquiry into the best method of enforc- * the eighteenth amendment. He makes an appeal to law-abiding citizens to desist from encouraging violation of - the laws. This appeal, from the head of the Nation, can not, fail to bring fresh FF careteth to the cause of law enforce- a Beant, especially when Mr. Hoover re- @ minds all citizens that encouragement of a ey law violation strikes at the basis of all _ protection of life, home, and property. * will conclude, after reading this ad- : _ dress, that the only thing to do is to a —A out crime, whether it is violation pat the liquor law or any other law. The "only alternative of repeal of the eight- eenth amendment is its enforcement at alle ‘cost. : Hoover gives fresh encourage- | Pe to American business by putting this-foot down upon Government aggres- sion in private enterprise. He makes this : ition unmistakable. His policy is the as — of cooperation among a _ ‘business men and the development of * initiative among them. The propaganda » ‘that seeks to bring about socialism in s 2 his country under the pretext that pri- wate enterprise is a mask for monopoly no-help from Mr. Hoover. He fa- _wors Government regulation of utilities, 4 as a matter of course, but is equally em- tic in demanding that private busi- * shall not be subjected to Govern- we competition. Intimation of a plan to create a de- ent.of education and health may ® construed from Mr. Hoover’s refer- to the duty of the Government to promote these blessings. + Foreign nations will be reassured by me clear and friendly note of Mr. Hoo- rs address in regard to world peace the duty of the United States in - #ealing with other countries. His inten- — = : n to seek the peaceful path is left be- i doubt, He agrees with his country- n that political entanglements like the weague of Nations would hamper the Jnited States in contributing to the ause of world peace. He accepts, how- ‘ » the proposition that the United should support the world court, i eihieniear to regard it as in- ig the United States in foreign po- he ontroversies. hi — ab questions of farm relief gn SF ierifl revision—“limited changes,” _ #.

Don’t worry about America. One genera- tion works and makes money; the second gen- eration spends it: the third lives on credit, and the fourth goes back to work again. A neighboring city is worrying over the growing number of collisions between automo- bilés and lamp-posts. Something should be done to remove such costly menaces. F WHERE AMERICA | FAILS. By EDMUND A. WALSH, Vice President of Georgetown University. The university with which I have the honor to be associated determined ten years back to intrg@guce into the curriculum of its School of For@tgn Service a fully developed course of instruction dealing with our merchant marine and the influence of sea power on national) security and on national prosperity. As a public educator I consider it a bounden duty to sound a warning and enter vigorous protests against the delusive and ruinous policy of ever again permitting our merchant marine to lapse into a second or third rate institution. History is a lamp that furnishes copious light to guide the feet of those attentive to its warnings. If the commercial history of nations teaches us anything, is it not that no nation has remained a first-class economic power which failed to develop and foster a dependable merchant marine? I have before me a very striking report showing what other nations are doing jn this field. I find that in spite of the heavy economic handicaps under which they have all been laboring since the armistice they have during the period 1922 to 1928, inclusive, added to their merchant fleets in ocean-going vessels of 2,000 gross tons and over 1,556 ships ag- gregating 9,819,134 gross tons, while during the same period additions of similar vessels to the merchant fleet of the United States numbered 39 ships of 378,788 gross tons! Therefore, out of a total of 1,595 merchant vessels of 10,197,922 gross tons—of ships of 2,000 gross tons and over—the United States has built, in numbers, less than 2% per cent of the total and in tonnage about 3% per cent. Among the increases in foreign merchant fleets Great Britain is credited with a total of 1,020 vessels of 6,386,550 tons; Germany, 244 vessels of 1,571,892 tons; France, 118 vessels of 704,533 tons; Italy, 93 vessels of 750,027 tons, and Japan. 81 vessels of 406,132 tons. Thus it will be seen that during the last seven years the United States has been outbuilt in merchant vessels 26 to 1 by Great Britain, 6 to 1 by Germany, 3 to 1 by France, nearly 2% to 1 by Italy and 2 to 1 by Japan. Further, at the present time, January, 1929, there are under construction by the same countries a total of 301 vessels of 2,099,257 gross tons, of which the United States is build- ing 6 totaling 59,000 tons, or in numbers, less than 2 per cent of the total and in tonnage less than 3 per cent. In Britsh shipyards 205 vessels of 1,444,592 tons are under construc- tion, in Germany 388 vessels of 223,592 tons, in Japan 22 vessels of 168,846 tons, in Italy 18 vessels of 91,100 tons and in France 12 vessels of 112,127 tons. This shows that in the construction program now under way Great Britain is building 34 vessels to our 1. Germany 6 to our 1, Japan 3 to our 1, Italy 3 to our 1 and France 2 to our 1. Those of us who are not professionally In- terested in the shipbuilding business, but who view these facts from the broad basis of na- tional policy, often wonderiwhat hypnotic spell bas been cast upon our people. Who and what is bewitching them into surrendering their heritage as a great maritime nation? Have we forgotten the age of Donald McKay with his Flying Cloud and the Sovereign of the Seas? Are we preparing to do with respect to the American merchant marine what we have already done with a great many of our notable inventions? We created the airplane and then turned it over to Europe for develop- ment. We invented the gatling gun, the ma- chine gun, and yet when the emergency arose we had barely enough of them to serve for practice in our training camps. We created the telegraph; from the telegraph grew the cable and yet we found, when war broke out. that our cable lines led through the territory of another power, so that they were enabled at their leisure to decipher al! our confidential messages! What is holding back our people? Is {¢ ignorance, incapacity, or apathy? Is it lack of imagination? More to the Point. Providence Journal: The Oklahoma City Oklahoman offers a prize of §200 for the best answer to the question: “How would you spend $5,000,000 for the city?” Somebody might offer «a prize for the best answer to the ques- tion. “How would you keep from spending $5,000,000 for the city?” Pessimistic Americans. Lowell Courier-Citizen: Possibly we are a pessimistic nation after all. Carl Sandberg has announce” that it will be 1932 before he inflicts—that is his word—another volume of poetry on the “eggheaded American public.” And all the editors are excited over the epithet instead of resting in calm thankfulness for the essential part of’ the statement. 2 Pairs of Pants. Baltimore Sun: The wearer of woolen clothes who buys *two pairs of pants” in a suit has supposed, no doubt, that he helped out the wool business. What will be his surprise when he learns that the practice is partly responsible for controversy in revision of the woolen tariff schedule? He is charged with reducing the demand for wool. ‘rhe claim is made that with two pairs of trousers he buys one sult where other- wise he would be compelled to buy two. Legislative Factor, Baltimore Sun: The cold air supplied to the House of Representatives is being regarded as a major instrument of de- fense for use if the House gets into an argument about the tariff with the Senate next summer. The Senate has mo such protection and will be sub- jected to Washington's unallayed neat. Viewed in this light, the refrigerating system becomes a legislative factor; ..and, by the same token, al) the talk last year about the health Congress men implied something more than their personal well-being. It related, too, to, their attitude toward legislation, © “Wholesome laws from healthy con- gresemen”™ is a slogan for the ——— | to popularize. q 4 #

Following is the text of Herbert Hoover’s inaugural address: MY COUNTRYMEN: This occasion is not alone the administration of the most sacred vath | it is a dedication and | which can be assumed by an American citizen. consecration under God to the highest office in service of our people. I assume this trust in the humility of knowledge that only through the | guidance of Almighty Providence can I hope to discharge its ever increas- | ing burdens. It is in keeping with tradition throughout our history that | should express simply and directly the opinions which I[ hold concerning some of the matters of present importance, If we survey the situation of our nation both at home and abroad, we find many satisfactions; we find some causes for concern. We have emerged from the losses of the Great War and the reconstruction fol-. lewing it with increased virility and strength. From this strength we * have contributed to the recovery and progress of the world. What America has done has given renewed hope and courage to al! who bave faith in government by the people. in the large view, we have reached a higher degree of comfort and security than ever existed before in the history of the world Through liberation from wide-spread . poverty we have reached a higher degree of individual freedom than ever before. The devotion to and concern for our institutions are deep and sincere. ‘We are steadily building a new race—a new civilization great in its own attainments. The infiuence and high purposes of our nation are Tespected among the peoples of the world. We aspire to distinction ‘In the world, but to a distinction based upon confidence in our sense ‘of justice as well as our accomplishments within our own borders and *n our own lives.

We have emerged from the losses of the Great War and the reconstruction following it with increased virility and strength. But all this majestic advance should not obscure the constant | dangers from which self-government must be safeguarded. The most malign of all these dangers today is disregard and dis- obedience of law. Crime is increasing. Confidence in rigid and speedy justice is decreasing. It is only in part due to the additional burdens imposed upon our judicial system by the eighteenth amendment. The problem is much wider than that. Justice must not fail because the agencies of enforcement are either/ delinquent or inefficiently organized. To consider these evus, to find their remedy, is the most sore necessity of our time. A large responsibility rests directly upon our citizens. There would be little traffic in illegal liquor if only criminals patron- ized it. 2 Our whole system of self-government will crumble either if officials elect what laws they will enforce or citizens elect what laws they will support. I propose to appoint a national commission for a searching investigation of the whole structure of our Federal system of jurisprudence, to include the method of enforcement of the eight- eenth amendment and the causes of abuse undep it. The election has again confirmed the determination of the American people that regulation of private enterprises and not i Government ownership or operation is the course rightly to be pursued in our relation to business, Self-government can succeed only through an instructed elec- torate. Our objective is not simply to overcome illiteracy, The Nation has marched far beyond that. The more complex the problems of the Nation become the gréater is the need for more and more advanced instruction. Those who have a true understanding of America know that we have no desire for territorial] expansion, for economic or other domination of other peoples... Such purposes are repugnant to our ideals of human freedom.” The recent treaty for the renunciation of war as an instrument of national policy sets an advanced standard in our conception of the relations of nations.

In recent years we have established a differentiation in the whole method of business regulation between the industries which pro- duce and distribute commodities on the one hand, and public utilities on the other, In the former, our laws insist upon effective compéti- tion: in the latter, because we substantially confer a monopoly by limit- ing competition, we must regulate their services and rates. The rigid enforcement of the laws applicable to both ‘groups is the very base of equal opportunity and freedom from domination for all our people, and it is just as essential for the stability and prosperity of business itself as for the protection of the public at large. Such regulations should be extended by the Federal Government within the limitations of the Constitution and only when the individual States are without power to protect their citizens through their own authority. _ mane purpose is thus peculiarly identified with American ideals and with American statesmanship. No more potent instrumentality for this pur- pose has ever been conceived and no other is practicable of establish ment. The reservations placed upon our adherence should not be mis- interpreted. Would Clarity Relations With International Court The United States seeks by these reservations no specia) privilege or advantage but only to clarify our relation to advisory opinions. and | other matters which are subsidiary to the major purpose of the court. The way should, and I believe will, be found by which we may take our proper place in a movement so fundamental! to the progress of peace.

Crime is increasing. Confidence in rigid and speedy “justice is decreasing. I am not prepared to believe that this indicates “apy decay in the moral fibre of the American people. I am not pre- pared to believe that it indicates an impotence of the Federa!] Govern- ment¢ to enforce its laws. It is only in part due to the additional burdens imposed upon our _Judicial system by the eighteenth amendment. The problem is much wider than that. Many influences had increasingly complicated and - weakened our law enforcement organization long before the adoption of the eighteenth amendment. To reestablish the vigor and effectiveness of law enforcement we : must critically consider the entire federal] machinery of justice, the Tedistribution of its functions, the simplification of its procedure, the “provision of additional specia} tribunals, the better selection of juries, amd the more effective organization of our agencies of investigation 9nd prosecution that justice may be sure and that it may be swift. While the authority of the Federal Government extends to but part _nf our vast system of national, State and local justice, yet the standards _ |-which the Federal Government establishes have the most profound influence upon the whole-structure. .. We are fortunate in the ability and integrity of our Federal judges and attorneys. But the system which these officers are called upon “tp administer is in many respects {ll-adapted to present day conditions. tts intricate and involved rules of procedure have become the refuge of both big and little criminals. There is a belief abroad that by invoking a ¥ technicalities, subterfuge and delay the ends of justice may be thwarted by those who can pay the cost. Reform, reorganization and strengthening of our whole judicia} and enforcement system both in civil] and criminal sides have been advo- a First steps toward that end should not longer be delayed. Rigid and expeditious ‘justice is the first safeguard of freedom, the basis-of al] ordered liberty, the vital force of progress. It must not come to be in our republic ‘that It can be defeated by the indifference of the citizen, by exploitation of the delays and entanglements of the law, or by combinations of _ eriminals. Justice must not fail because the agencies of enforcement are either delinquent or inefficiently organized, To consider these evils, to find their remedy, is the most sore necessity of our time. F ailure of Some States to Aid Of the undoubted abuses Which have grown up under the eighteenth ‘amendment, part are due to the causes I have just mentioned: but ‘part are due to the failure of some States to accept their share of | ‘pesponsibility for concurrent enforcement and to the failure of many Btate and local officials to accept the obligation under their oath of joffice zealously to enforce the laws. With the failures from these many _ fauses has come a dangerous expansion in the criminal elements who have found enlarged opportunities in dealing in illegal liquor. But a large responsibility rests directly upon our citizens. There ‘would be little traffic in illegal liquor if only. criminals patronized it. We must awake to the fact that this patronage from large numbers ‘of law-abiding citizens igs supplying the rewards and stimulating crime. I have been selected by you to execute and enforce the laws of the country. i propose to do so to the extent of my abilities, but the measure of success that the Government shal) attain will depend upon | the moral support which you, as citizens, extend. The duty of citizens to support the lawe of the land is coequal with the duty of their Government to enforce the laws which exist. No greater national! serv- ice can be given by men and women of good will—who, I know, are mot unmindful of the responsibilities of citizenship—than that they ‘should, by their example. assist in stamping out crime and outlawry by refusing participation in and condemning all transactions with illegal liquor. Our whole system of self-government will crumble either if officials — elect what laws they will enforce or citizens elect what laws they will a support. The worst evil of disregard for some law is that it destroys “Sige - Fespect for all law. For our citizens to patronize the violation of a a ‘particular law on the ground that they are opposed to it is destructive Bee ‘of the very basis of all that protection of life. of homes and property : which they rightly claim under other laws. If citizens do not like a ; law, their duty as honest men and women is to discourage its violation: — —— right is openly to work for its repeal. — _ To those of criminal mind there can be no appeal but vigorous 4 t of the law.

The larger purpose of our economic thought should be to establish more firmly stability and security of business and employment and thereby remove poverty still further from our borders. Our. people have in recent years developed a new found capacity for cooperation among themselves to effect high purposes in public welfare. It is an advance toward the highest conception of self-government, Self-goveru- ment does not and should not imply the use of political agencies alone. Progress is born of cooperation in the community—not from govera- menta! restraints. The Government should assist and encourage these movements of collective self help by itself cooperating with them. Business has by cooperation made great progress in the advancement of service, in stability, in regularity of employment and in the correc- tion of its own abuses. Such progress, however, can continue only 80 long as business manifests its respect for law. There is an equally important field of cooperation by the Federal Government with the multitude of agencies, State, municipal and pri- vate, in the systematic development of those processes which directly affect public health, recreation, education and the home. We have need further to perfect the means by which government can be adapted to human service. Need of Advanced Education Held Vital to Government Although education is primarily a responsibility of the States and local communities, and rightly so, yet the Nation as a whole is vitally concerned in its development everywhere to the highest standards and to complete universality. Self-government can succeed only through an instructed electorate. Our objective is not simply to overcome illiter- acy. The Nation has marched far beyond that. The more complex the problems of the Nation become, the greater is the need for more and more advanced instruction. Moreover, as our numbers increase and as our life expands with science and invention, we must discover more and more leaders fot every walk of life. We can not hope to suc- ceed in directing this increasingly complex civilization unless we can draw all the talent of leadership from the whole people. One civiliza- tion after another has been wrecked upon the attempt to secure suffi- cient, leade rship from a single group or class. If we would prevent the growth of class distinctions and would constantly refresh our leadership with the ideals of our people, we must draw constantly from the general mass. The full opportunity for every boy and girl to rise through the selective processes of education can alone secure to us this leadership. In public health the discoveries of science have opened a new era. Many sections of vur country and many groups of our citizens suffer from diseases the eradication of which are mere matters of administra- tion and moderate expenditure. Public health service should be as fully organized and as universally incorporated into our governmental system as is public education. The returns are a thousand fold in economic benefits, and infinitely more in reduction of suffering and pro- motion of human happiness. The United States fully accepts the profound truth that Our own progress, prosperity. and peace are interlocked with the progress, pros- perity and peace of all humanity. The whole world is at peace, The dangers to a continuation of this peace today are largely the fear and suspicion which still haunt the world. No suspicion or fear can be right!y directed toward our country. Denies America Has Desire For Territorial Expansion Those who have a true understanding of America know that we have ‘no desire for territorial expansion, for economic or other domination of other peoples. Such purposes are repugnant to our ideals of human freedom. Our form of government is ill adapted to the responsibilities which inevitably follow permanent limitation of the independence of other peoples. Superficial observers seem to find no destiny for our abounding increase in ;population, in wealth and power except that of imperialism. They fail to see that the American people are engrossed in the building tor themselves of a new economic system, a new social eystem, a new political system—all of which are characterized by aspira- tions of freedom of opportunity and thereby are the negation of im- perialism. They fail to realize that because of our abounding prosperity our youth are pressing more and more into our institutions of learning: that our people are seeking a larger vision through art, literature, science and travel: that they are moving toward stronger moral! and epiritual life—that from these things our sympathies are broadening heyond the bounds of our nation and race toward their true expression ir a real brotherhood of map, They fai: to see that the idealism of America will lead it to no narrow or selfish channel, but inspire it to do its full share as a nation toward the advancement of civilization. It will do that not by mere declara- tion but by taking a practical part in supporting all useful international! undertakings, We not only desire peace with the world, but to see peace maintained throughout the world. We wish to advance the reign of justice and reason toward the extinction of force. The recent treaty for the renunciation of war as an instrument of pationa! policy sets an advanced standard in our conception of the relations of nations. Its acceptance should pave the way to greater Hmitation of armament, the offer of which we sincerely extend to the world. But its full realization also implies a greater and greater per fection in the instrumentalities for pacific settlement of controversies between nations. In the creation and use of these instrumentalities we should support every sound method of conciliation, arbitration and judicial settlement. American statesmen were among the first to pro- pose and they have constantly urged upon the world the establishment of a tribunal for the settlement of controversies of a justiciable char- acter, @ The Permanent Court of International Justice in its major Our people have determined that we should make no political en- gagements.such as membership in the League of Nations, which may * commit us in advance as a nation to become involved in the settlements of controversies between other countries. that the independence of America ability and availability for service They adhere to the belief from such obligations increases its in. all fields of human progress.

Surely civilization is old enough, surely mankind is mature enough so that we ought In our own lifetime to find a way to permanent peace. Abroad, to west and east, are nations whose sons mingled their blood with the blood of our sons on the battlefields. Most of these nations have contributed to our race, to our culture, our knowledge and our progress. From one of them we derive our very language and from many of them much of the genius of our institutions. own. Their desire for peace is as deep and sincere as our Respect tor Detense Is Held. Contribution Toward Peace Peace can be contributed to by respect for our ability in defense. Peace can be promoted by the limitation of arms and by the creation of the instrumentalities for peaceful settlement of controversies. But it will become a reality only through self-restraint and active effort in Curtis in Inaugural Speech Says He Will Obey Senate Vice President Asks For Cooperation of Senators in Ap- plying Rules of Body Whose Augustness He Lauds; Praises Dawes as Presiding Officer.

A story of purported threats and ques- tioning by what was termed a “kan- garoo” court was elicited by the de- fense counsel of Henry S. Johnston. suspended governor, in his impeach- ment trial here today, from T. N Crosthwaite, Ardmore cobbler. Crosthwaite is the father of R_ D. Crosthwaite, who as a fugitive from the State Penitentiary, to which he had been committed for murdering an Oklahoma City school teacher. was granted a.pardon by Gov. Johnston. This pardon forms the basis of one of ten articles of impeachment preferred against the suspended governor. The cobbler related on the stand that James Nance, a State representa- tive, had tried to prevail upon him with threats of imprisonment to change testimony which Crosthwaite had given before the investigating committee of the House of Representatives. The witness said another attempt was made by men he did not know to make him foreswear his testimony before Edwin Dabney, attorney general, After he had been subpenaed to ap- pear before the investigating commit- tee the elderly cobbler said he was hailed at his hotel before a group of men who represented themselves to be the investigating committee. He said he thought they really were a “kan- garoo court.” They questioned him in great detail as to the pardon case. Crosthwaite said. Crosthwaite testified, as he pre- viously had done before the committee, that he did not pay Thomas H. Cham- pion, former district judge, of Ard- more, or any members of Champion’s law firm for procuring the pardon from the governor, although he had obtained $1400 from relatives to use in an effort to obtain the clemency. The defense also launched an attack upon the contention of the prosecu- tion that Gov. oJhnston granted a leave of absence to Clyde Collins, while Col- lins awaited, in jail, at Hugo, commit- ment to the penitentiary, following conviction of a statutory crime in-' GOVERNOR’S AID HEARD ee and Bread Knife Keep Two From Parade An angry dog ind the slip of a bread knife were the cause of sev- eral persons missing the inaugural parade yesterday.

Loomis left aboard hig private yacht for an unannounced destination this afternoon. He put back into Miami with his yacht tonight, however, and informed officials of his return. He left in the afternoon, he said, to avoid publicity. Dade County officials say he will be a witness at the Inquest tomorrow. “I had befriended Mrs. Wilson since I met her about five years ago,” he told Justice of the Peace Warren L. New- comb, “She was operating a tearoom in Atlantic City when I employed her as my housekeeper. Recently she started suit against me in New York, and friends. advised me to take her along on my yacht trip to Cuba. This I did and when we returned to Miami she became angered and I gave her $300 and paid her hotel bill. “My relations with her have been those of an employer and benefactor.” A series of notes lay on a table near Mrs. Wilson’s body and in them « “Guy” was mentioned. Mrs. Wilson had filed a damage sult three weeks ago in Dade County Circuit Court against Loomis. According to her at- torneys, it was to seek remuneration f her services to the New Yorker as a housekeeper and social hostess, a)- wong no bill of complaint has been. filed.

Stovall himself, appearing as a wit- ness for the defense, denied the charge and added that he had interested him- self in the case only so far as notify- ing the governor that citizens of Port Towson had come to Hugo to petition the governor for the clemency. In cross- examination, Stovall admitted that he had petitioned the governor subse- quently for two extensions of the leave of absence, which had been granted.

And here are experts, whose advice on skin care agrees in at least one major te- spect with the greatest authorities the world knows on beauty. Go to Fontaine in Brussels, Cavalieri in Paris—to Pessl in Vienna—and they will recommend this same home beauty treatment. Daily cleansing urged No matter what special creams or lotions they use, all unite in urging ‘foundation cleansing’’—a thoroughly cleansed skin as the first step in beauty culture. And they will add: “the lather of Palmolive Soap, blending the famed oils of olive and palm, gently rid the pores of dirt and oils, of old make-up, rouge and powder. Its daily use brings natural beauty.” To the smart shop of Fontaine in Brussels, which has the appointment of Her Majesty the Queen of the Belgians, ladies of the court and nobility go. For Fontaine’s beauty advice is indisputably effective. “The first care of a beauty specialist,” says M. Fontaine, “is to see that the skin is in a condition to respond to treatment in the salon. If the pores are allowed to remain clogged up with particles of powder, rouge, fine dust, etc., delicate tissues must suffer.” In urging “foundation cleansing,” M. Fontaine says: “Palm and olive oils are the first natural skin cleansers available; and it is a mistake to suppose that the same deep thorough cleansing can be got by other means. In my experience, the one soap to use is Palmolive.” The famous 2-minute treatment Wherever you go, in this country or abroad, Palm- olive is universally recommended—for beauty special- ists by the thousand emphasize the importance of M.

March 4 (N.Y.W.NS8.).— Still another distinguished scientist, Dr. A.

According to word received here to- day Dr. Wakeman died aboard ship near the Agores last Saturday while on his way here from the foundation’s labor- atory in Nigeria, on the Gold Coast of Africa, in a race against death with the Gisease that struck down three of his colleagues in the same quest. The four-word cable to the Rocke- feller ‘Foundation’s office here made no mention of the cause of his death, but @& message sent to the authorities at Yale stated that he had contracted the fever in his experiments.

New First Lady Wears Chic Wine-Color Costume to Ceremony. Wife of Elder Son Dresses ia Brown, With Coat to Harmonize. Yesterday was the day of days for Mrs. Herbert Hoover, the new First Lady of the Land, who stood smilingly by the side of the man whose cOMpanion and comrade in fruitful endeavor she had been through the years since their mar- riage, as the highest gift within power of the American people was bestowed upon him in the presence of a mul- titude of his countrymen. Most of the day she smiled joyously but now and then happy tears would rise to her eyes as she was almost overcome with emo- tion as wonderful event after event plied upon one another to make that March 4th a golden record for her memory book. The day began early for her with 4 house full of happy relatives and mes- sages, letters and flowers pouring in every moment. One of the gifts which interested her most was presented by Representative Florence F. Kahn, con- gresswoman of San Francisco, who, on behalf of the women of California, call- ed at the Hoover home on S street shortly after 9 o'clock with a beautiful bouquet of orchids sent to the new mistress of the White House by the women of California. As Mrs. Hoover glanced out of the windows of her spacious S street home she was leaving for at least four years, she saw patient watchers on the side- walks across the streets, who had been there since an early hour watching for @ glimpse of the Hoover party as it left for the Capitol. Grandchild Playing Around. A merry little child, Peggy Ann Hoo- | ver, 4 years old, daughter of her eldest son, prattied about the big rooms as President and Mrs. Hoover prepared for this biggest of big moments in their lives. Peggy Ann had come all th way from California with her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert C. Hoover, jr., to see grandfather made President and Peggy was getting all the fun possible out of the situation. In the general excitement Peggy Ann at- tached herself to her uncle, Allan Hoo- ver, the President and Mrs. Hoover’s youngest ton, with whom she is a prime favorite. When arrayed for the trip to the Capitol, Peggy Ann was a picture of beaming childhood in a coat of blue cloth with a fur collar and tiny cuffs of fur and a felt cloche of blue yo match. Baby prother, Herbert Hoo- ver 3d, was left at ome, he being too young to witness the ceremony. Meantime Mrs, Herbert Hoover, wife of the President, had attired herself in a becoming costume of a wine- colored ensemble frock, made on chic lines, Over which she wore a coat of Diack water velvet with high collar of mink and quite deep cuffs of the same fur. She wore a close-fitting wine-colored velvet hat on her head. Pinned low on the front of her coat was & corsage bouquet of cream roses— quite like bride’s roses, as some one remarked 4s she entered a White House machine shortly after President-elect Hoover had driven away and went to the White House.

(700 White House Guests Congratulate Hoovers The President and Mrs. Hoover held their first reception at the White House from 5 to 7 o'clock yes- terday afternoon. More than 700 guests were present, including members of the inaugural committee, visiting State governors and their wives, and persons who were associated with Mr. Hoover in his work during the war. For the first time in seven years, furthermore, food was served at a White House reception, what might be considered as “a bountiful high tes repast,” consisting of sand- wiches, punch, ice cream and coffee or tea. Mrs. Hoover wore a blue velvet afternoon frock. Mr. and Mrs. Mark Requa, of Cal- ifornia, were the first dinner guests of President and Mrs. Hoover. } J Mrs. Coolidge, who looked her usual lous, buoyant self and very pretty in @ chic suit of tan cloth with a huge collar of fur to match and a small tan hat. he bowed and smiled to many of her old friends as she passed through the lines or from the stand. Before coming on the inaugural platform, Mrs. Coolidge and Mrs. Hoover had witnessed the swearing in of Vice President Charlies E. Curtis in the Senate cham- ber, where the two First Ladies were the cynosure of all eyes. In the Senate reserved gallery Mrs. Edward E. Gann, sister of the Vice President and Mrs. Webster Knight and Mrs. Charlies P. George, daughters of the new presiding officer of the Sen- ate, were the recipients of congratula- tions from senators’ wives gathered there. Mrs. Gann wore a dregs of soft material in a light shade of “king’s biue with a large scarf of natural lynx on which was pinned a lovely boquet of orchids. Her hat was a high-crowned one of blue straw trimmed with a light- er shade of blue velvet ribbon. Mrs. Knight was in a smart ensemble of cloth with a collar and cuffs of rich fur, and a close fitting black velvet hat. She also wore orchids. Mrs. George had on a black sult also, with which she wore a small black hat and a Sable neck plece. Mrs. Charles G. Dawes, wife of the retiring Vice President, had on at the Capitol a coat of brown mink with a small brown hat to match, Children Share Attention. The grandchildren of Vice President Curtis also came in for their share of attention and seemed to thihk that the steps of the Capitol were especially bullt for their diversion as they waited for the ceremonies to begin. These active and attractive youngsters, the little girls in brand-new spring hats, are Ann George, 8 years old, and Charlies Curtis George, 6 years old, children of Maj. and Mrs. C. P. George; Constance Knight, aged 5, and Charles Curtis Knight, aged 7, children of Mr. and Mrs. Webster Knight. Donors were most lavish with or- chids yesterday, for besides Mrs. Gann, Mrs. George and Mrs. Knight a num- ber of others of the ranking Republi- can women wore them and most of the wives of the retiring Cabinet. When the members of the House of Repre- sentatives filed out to see the Presi- dent inaugurated, among the first in the line was Representative Edith Nourse Rogers, wh, like the rest of the women members of the House, wore @ modish Diack dress and a huge bouquet of orchids on her shoulder. After the ceremonies in the Senate the diplomatic women and the Cabinet ladies, including the wives of the retir- ing Cabinet, were escorted to seats re- served for them in front of the Presi- dent’s stand. The rain was Relting down, but they all seemed to take it as a joke. Mrs. Kellogg, wife of the Secre- tary of State, who is acting until the new Secretary arrives, wore a black fur coat and a purple felt hat and seemed not to mind the rain at all. Mrs. Will- lam EZ.

Even those who were on the platforms back of the in- auguration stand were not under cover. Only the principal actors and thelr wives in this great American drama were under the shelter bullt for the oc- . casion. Inauguration fashions seemed to run to galoshes and raincoats, but there were many spring costumes and new hats that received a good drenching. As the rain began to fall the prevail- ing fashion of the day was paper hats, first the papers draped over the hats and then gradually following the ex- ample of the small boys, nice folded soldier hats such as gli children wear when they play at being soldiers. To add to the festive inaguguration touch some of the more deftly fingered made capes out of the papers with which to better protect their clothes. Washington was en carnival and men and women, statesmen, diplomats and plain citizens alike did not regard the steady fall of spring rain as anything worth noticing. . Mrs. Hoover Enthusiastic. After luncheon at the White House Mrs. Hoover joined President Hoover in the stand in front of the Execytive Mansion and with great evident pleas- ure watched the intrepid marchers of Republicanism pass by in the rain. Her enthusiasm did not dampen and she frequently called the President’s atten- tion to interesting groups which were passing along. At the luncheon and on the Presi- dential stand at thg White House the new Cabinet wives and members of their families really made their debut into official life and had opportunity to meet one another. One of the early arrivals on this stand was Paulina Longworth, the 4- year-old daughter of the Speaker of the House and Mrs. Nicholas ng- worth, who wore a quaint frock of blue trimmed with fur and a small blue hat. Paulina brought with her s group of little girl friends with whom she plays. Paulina anxiously saw that all her guests were properly seated to get a good view of the parade. Mrs. Longworth was in a becoming costume of brown with a brown hat. It was noticed in surveying the new Cabinet group that young men appear quite importantly in the Hoover ad- ministration. The new Attorney General and Mrs. William DeWitt Mitchell have two upn- married sons—Bancroft, who is at busi- ness school, and William, practicing law at St. Paul. Bancroft Mitchell was with Mrs. Mitchell at the White House yesterday, as were her mother, Mrs. Caroline Bancroft, and her brother, Frank Bancroft, who came here for the inauguration. Mrs. Charles Francis Adams was ac- companied by her daughter, Mrs. Henry Morgan, of Boston, and her son, Cheries Francis Adams, now at Harvard, The two young sons of the Secretary of War and Mrs. James W. Wood, of Iowa, accompanied their parents. They are James W., jr., and t Edmund, 12 and 16 years of age. The Secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Ray Lymar Wilbur did not have any of their large family with them. Mrs. Wilbur wore a becoming costume of velvet and fur and a small black hat. The pretty 16-year-old daughter of the new Secretary of Agriculture and Mrs. Arthur M. Hyde was with them. Mrs. James J. Davis had all of her children with her at the Capitol and at the White House—James, who is « robust lad of 13 or 14, and the four little girls, all dressed alike, in blue.

Douglas, Ariz., March 4 (A.P.) —New shed by revolutionary leaders in Mex- jco today as they recruited fighting forces to oppose troops loyal to the federal government, headed by Emilio Portes Gil, provisional president. Without a shot being fired, the towns of Aguaprieta and Waco, vital rail centers on the internation border, fell to the rebels, giving them undisputed control of the state of Sonora, where thé revolt broke yésterday simulta- neously with a military uprising in Vera Cruz. Meanwhile rebel leaders at Nuevo ‘Laredo claimed nine states actively were in revolt. They declared that south of Sonora, had definitely joined the movement this afternoon. Other Vera Cruz, Jalisco, Drango, Oaxaca and Coahuila. Gov. Fausto Topete of Sonora, ap- parently working in concest with other rebel leaders throughout the nation, announced that Gen Gonzalo Escobar, of the state of Coahuila, had been named supreme commander of the rev- olutionary forces. Another Governor Revolts. “The revolution is generally organized and is so exceedingly strong that it can not fail and for the same reason can not be prolonged to any extent,” Gov. Topete asserted. Macario Gaxiola. governor of Sinaloa, in joining the revolution denounced the federal government and declared him- self governor under the new regime. In a telegram to the Associated Preas, Gov. Topete demanded that for- mer President Plutarco Elias Calles. who has been called to the post of secretary of war by President Portes Gil, leave the country. The Sonora executive said the revolt was directed against Calles’ “domination” of the federal government and not the gov- ernment itself. The revolutionists, he said, demand- ed guarantees that candidates for the presidency be permitted to campaign, that they would not be subject to “as- sassination by persons directed by high- ér officials,” and that the election be legally conducted. Gen. Carillo, federal army officer in charge of 500 troops in Sinaloa, started a southerly retreat destroying railroad communications as he fied. It was re- ported his troops burned seven bridges and tore a large amount of track near San Bilas. Reports that Gen. Antonio Villareal had seized Monterrey, Mexico, today were scouted by loyal federalists at Nuevo Laredo,.across the border from Laredo, Tex., when 4t was learned that Gen. Juan Andreu Almazon, divisional chief of federal troops in the state of Coahulla, still was using Monterey as 8 base for operations against rebels.

Down the west coast, Gen Roberto | Cruz, recently relieved of his military command by President Emilio Portes Gil, was said by rebel leaders here to be marching on Guadalajara City, with 5,000 followers. The seaport of Colima was reported to be the objective of troops massing im Michoacan under Gen. Corostreta. Single-handed, R. Hernandez, confi- dential agent of Gov. Topete, took the border town of Naco, federei diers here surrendering after remaming loyal to the central government last night. Hernandez rode into Naco alone and warned that 1,200 troops would descend upon the town at the least show of re- sistance. The fedéralists then joined the revolt in the name of their governor | upon ,being assured the movement was not being led by Alberto Valenzuela, presidential candidate. who has been active in northern Mexico in recent months. More than 600 Indians of the Mays tribe mobilized at Huatembampa, native village of the late President-elect Al- varo Obregon, and were supplied with arms by the rebels. The first Sonora tewn to join in the revolt was Navajoa, where the widow of the assassinated Gert. Obregon lives. Passenger train service from the was suspended. Mayor Millard Haymore, of Douglas, today declared he would ask that a detachment of United States troops be sent here pending settlement of revo- Jutionary conditions on the Mexican side of the international] border. “Let the ple be not too sanguine about this being a peaceful change cf government,” said Haymore. “It might just as well be understood that the Mexican federal government will not be willing to surrender without resist- ance, and when we take that into con- sideration, then we know that the proper protection of Douglas means the presence of United States troops, and plenty of them.” Religious Freedom Granted. Nogales, Ariz., March 4 (A.P.).—Gov. Fausto Topete, of Sonora, in a mani- festo, today set aside the Mexican re- ligious laws and announced that min- isters of all religions henceforth could hold services in their respective churcheg. The governor said that until a new revolutionary government could be set up the religious 2 could be solved by establishing “fréedom of conscience’ and noninterference by the government in religious matters. No specific mention was made of the Catholic Church, but the manifesto ob- viously was directed to members of that faith, whose priests have refused ligious laws, resulting in their being barred from conducting services in their churches. “It is made known to all ministers of all religions,” the manifesto said, “that they can officiate in their re- spective churches free from political matters from our government, which sional army chief and ordered back to | , ' mander of the Sixty-fourth Cavelry and Eighty-eighth I night relieved Gen and immediately established his head quarters in his residence at Nogales.

SOUGHT IN GERMAN FORGERY Berlin Anxious to Obtain Doc- |; uments Allegedly In- volving Senators. HARD TO PRESS CHARGES Berlin, March 4 (A.P.).—Berlin po- lice were tonight more dubious as to the possibility of establishing the con- nection of Viadimir Orloff, exiled fol- lower of the late czar, with forged documents supposed to prove that United States Senators Borah and Nor- ris had accepted bribes from the Com- munist International. These docu- ments are: in the possession of the American Senate. - Criminal Commissioner Weitzel, in charge of the forgeries investigation, sald: “The first step toward clearing up this affair is for the American authori- ties to send us these Senate documents. But as 1 understand it the documents are facsimiles and not originals and 60 far as we now know the originals are not in the mass of material we found in Orloff’s quarters.” only hope was that these facsimiles might furnish a clew. “If the Senate had the originals instead of the fac- similes it would be an easy matter to compare paper, ink, seals and general appearance with the materials regu- larly used by Orloff,” he said. The American Embassy is sending a representative tomorrow to discuss the forgeries with German officials, Chief of the Political Division Windisch, in- formed newspaper men. Commissioner Weitzel said Orloff could not be charged even with at- tempted fraud because the sum of $25 which Hubert Knickerbocker, Berlin correspondent of the New York Eve- ning Post, deposi the first letters was receipted for as a guarantee of Knickerbocker’s serious intentions and not as part payment for this letter. As to whether a charge of forgery could be brought Heysr Windisch said: “So long. as nobody claims material damage was done to him there can be no charge of this nature Mr. Knicker- bocker naturally won’t claim damage for he* realized the documents were faked or he would not have come to the police and, therefore, he can not be said to have been cheated.” Uniess further examination of the material brings new developments the only resource of the police will be to expel Orloff and his aid, Sumarokov, as undesirables. Three Die as Train Is Struck by Slide Six Coaches of Fast Express Swept From Track Near Singleshot, Mont. Singleshot, Mont., March 4 (United Press).—A gigantic snowslide swept six coaches of a Great Northern mail train from the track year Summitt Tunnel today, killing three members of the train crew and burying the coaches in @ mountain of snow. Several members of the train crew also were reported missing. The known dead, as announced by Great Northern officials, are: Benja- min J. Stulph, Spokane, Wash., postal clerk; Gust Maneos, section foreman, and Phillip Tanies, trackwalker, both of Singleshot. The landslide, the first of its kind ever reported in the Singleshot region, caught the mail train as it entered the tunnel between Summitt and Walton. The locomotive and three coaches had entered the tunnel when the slide de- scended, carrying the remaining six cars over the embankment. The loco- motive and three cars remained on the track. The train was number 27, crack mail and express, and carried no passengers.

No one who takes Olive Tablets Is ever cursed with a “dark brown taste,”” a bad breath, a dull listless “no good” feeling, constipation, torpid liver, bad disposition or pimply face.

Property valued at $1,000,000 was destroyed. The cause of the catastrophe, which shook the capital to its foundations and created a panic among the popula- tion, was not yet determined officially One th was that a workman, seek- ing warmth from a stove, carried a fuse signal too close to the hot coals. Within a few minutes the entire building was a roaring furnace. The flames spread rapidly to the adjoining powder depot, causing a second and stronger on. Firemen Risk Lives. The terrified people feared a repeti- tion of the calamitous earthquakes which devastated Bulgaria- last year. The roof of the second building, in which more than 50 workers had just begun their afternoon labor, crashed with terrific force, cutting off the only retreat of the panic-stricken women. At the risk of their lives, the fire brigade erected ladders against the flaming building and smashed in the heavily iron-barred windows. While red-hot steel projectiles rained from the interior they rescued a few of the workers from the asphyxiating fumes and inferno of exploding shells. The disaster, which occurred in the of the city at the busiest hour of the day, attracted huge crowds Groups of hysterica] relatives broke through the fire lines to beseech police- men and firemen .to save their loved ones, who already had perished. Tonight nothing remained of the two structures except a mass of black and smouldering ruins. Blast in London Arsenal. London, March 4 (A.P.).—The Wool- wich arsenal area, close to the heart of London, was alarmed this afternoon by a series of heavy explosions in the primer and fuse factory of Britain’s greatest munitions manufacturing cen- ter and supply dump. Nineteen persons sufiered minor in- juries, flames licked up the arsenal walls and rockets burst high overhead or fell a great distance away in the environs of the metropolis. Fire engines from many parts of London got the flames under control early tonight. The extent of the dam- ag’ has not yet been estimated. The royal arsenal at Woolwich is one of the greatest establishements in exist- ence for the manufacture 07 materials of war. Its principal deprAments in- clude factories for guns and carriages, laboratories for making cartridges and big gum shells and the British army ordnance departments. The arsenal employs thousands of workmen and is only 9 miles below London Bridge. Cone-Shaped Rocks Puzzle Geologists Norman, Okla.

They call them “cone-in-cones" due to their resemblance to a stack of ice cream cones, yet no explanation of their origin has been offered. Specimens have been sent to the Oklahoma geological survey in an effort to explain the formation. ~ FIRE RECORD. 2 a. m.—1312 I street northwest: chimney. 8:51 a. m.—174 North Carolina avenue eg : m.—North end 56D. ‘m.—191] R street northwest; tn- a 7:37 Dp. m.—Quebec. street and Georgia avenue horthwest: lamp. wa oe Pe ~ Sse ws teal tan bas, — eS UPeeee? * Associated Press Photo. and Mrs. Hoover Seller Praise His Skill Policeman E.

J., March 4 (A.P.) —Foot- prints showing that a dinosaur, huge prehistoric reptile, roamed in the vi- cinity of Perth Amboy about 100,000,- 000 years ago, have been uncovered in a sand pit north of that city, the divi- sion of geology of the New Jersey De- partment of Conservation ond Develop- ment announced today. Attention of Meredith E.. Johnson, assistant State geologist, was called to the tracks by Hampton Cutter, owner of the pit. The markings are the im- print of a three-toed monster with a foot larger than an elephant’s and a 5-foot stride. The size of the dinosaur’s footprints and the length of his stride lead au- thorities to believe that he was con- siderably larger than the egg-laying dinosaurs of the Mongolian desert. $] .50 awkwardly. well. —_ A BRAND NEW IDEA IN MEN’S UNION SUITS It’s so simple, it’s a won- der nobody thought of it before.

Annapolis, Md. March 4.—Gov. Albert C. Ritchie submitted to the general assembly, when it recon- vened tonight, a supplemental budget of additional appropriations recom- mended for expenses of the State gov- ernment the fiscal year of 1930 and 1931, above the amounts allowed in the original budget, coupled with additional amounts for State aided institutions and other purposes. Direct appropriations against general funds for 1931 amount to $179,807.06 for 1930 and $146,169 for 1931; against gen- eral funds contingent on the passage of pending legislature, $57,982 for 1930 and $50,982 for 1931, revenue to the State industrial accident commission, which will offset increase in its appro- priations $17,000 for each of two years; making a grand total of $220,789.06 for 1930 and $180,151 for 1931. The supplemental budget grants the University of Maryland an additional $10,000 for 1930 and $35,000 for 1931 The governor explained that the $10.- 000 is for the general university at College Park and the $25,000 will go to the State treasurer to carry insurance policies which the university itself heretofore has been carryin. These two appropriations aggregate $45,000 over the two-year period, giving an allowance of $22,500 over the original budget. This is necessitated by the fact that the actual enrollment of students is larger than was contemplated when the original budget was submitted. Other items of increase in the sup- plemental recommendations are: $1,000 in the Montgomery County General Hospital; $1,250 to each of the county commissioners of Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties for indigent sick, treated in Washington hospitals. Another item is $2,650 for the normal school at Bowle, Prince Georges County. The governor also provides for pay- ing the interest, amounting to $9,718.10, on the loan advanced by private indi- viduals of Prince Georges and Anne Arundel Counties, to bring about the early completion of the Naval Defense Highway, between Washington and Annapolis. The individuals advanced the necessary funds, the account even- tually being charged against the two counties’ share of the lateral roads funds.

As Boyne continuéd to observe him, Mr. Dobree’s habitual rinkness turned te a red which 6uf- fused even his temples and eyelids, fo that his carefully brushed white hair looked like a sunlit cloud against an argry sky. But with whom was Mr. Dobreé angry? Why. with himself, manifestly. His eyes stil) rested on the dreaming Judith; but the rest of his face looked as if every muscle were tightening in the effort to pull the eyes away. “He's frightened—he's frightened at himself,” Boyne thought, calling to mind—with a faint recoil from the reminder—that he also, once or twice. had been vaguely afraid of himself when-he had looked too long at Judith. Had his eyes been like that. he wondered? And the muscles of his face been stretched ‘in the effort to de- tach the eyes? The thing was not pleasant to visualize; and he disliked Mr. Dobree the more for serving as his mirror. * * *® But suddenly Mr. Dobree was on nis feet, his whole attention given to Mrs. Sellars. Again Boyne followed his change of direction with a start. Mrs, Sellars—but then she had been there all the time! Shadowed by her spread- ing hat, her light body bedded in the turf. she looked almost as young and But somehow she hed been merged.in the landscape, all broken up into a dappie of sun and ughings: ner way of fitting into things sometimes had this effect of effacing her. She lifted her head and in the shade of ithe hat brim Boyne caught a delicate watchfulness of brows and Hps, as of tiny live things under a protecting leaf. Mr. Dobree was challenging her jauntily. “Do you see why those young cannibals should monopolize the wild strawberries? Suppose we leave Mr. Boyne to mount guard over the sleeping beauty and tr, to bag our shere before it’s too late?” The words said clearly enough: “Take me away—it’s high time,” and Mrs. Sellars’ gay little answer: “Come on— I'll show you a patch they'll never find.” seemed to declare as clearly: “I know: but I'll see that "ou don’t come to any mischief.” She was on her feet before his hands | could help her up; something light and bounding in her seemed to spring to his call. “This way, this way.” she cried, starting ahead of him up the bowlder-strewn way. Boyne heard their voices mounting the streamside, min- gling with the noise of the water, fad- ing and flashing out again like the glimpses of her dress through the beech leaves. He lay without moving, watching the smoke of his pipe rise in wavering spirals, twisted out of shape vy puffs of air from the waterfa]l. With . Dobree’s withdrawal the ideas sug- — by his presence had gone, too; udith Wheater seemed once more 4 little girl. Though perplexities and un- certainties still lingered on the verge of Boyne’s mind his centra) self was anchored in a deep cirele of peace. Ivery fiber of him was alive to the ex- quisite moment; but he had no need to fly from it, no fear of its flying from him Judith’s sleep was a calm pool in which he rested. \ He fancied he must have been watch- inz her for a long time, his thoughts inclosing her in a sort of ecsaim fra- ternal] vigilance, when she opened her eyes and turned them on him, still dewy with sleep. “Martin!” she hailed him drowsily: then, fully awake, she gat up and ex- claimed: “Darling. when are you going to be married? I've positively got to know at once.” ; She was always startling Boyne, but she had perhaps never startied him more than by this question; for even as she spoke he had been half unconsci- ously putting it to himself. He remem- bered, as something already far off, pic- turesque and unreal as a youthful folly, his resentment of Mrs. Sellars’ delay in fixing a date for their marriage. Was it only two or three weeks ego that he had sent her, with g basket of gentians picked on »g lefty upland, e quotation from Marvell's “Coy Mistress?” Now all that seemed an undergraduate’s im- petience. She had taught him that they were very well as they were, and if he still asked himself when they were to be married. the question had impér- ceptibly taken another form. “What in God's name will become of the chil- dren after we're married?” was the way he now instinctively put it. He too sat up, and gazed into Judith’s sleepy eyes. As he did so he was aware that an uncomfortable redness (which did not. he hoped, resemble Mr. Do- bree’s) was creeping up to his tempies. “When I'm — to be married? Why? What's the odds? I don't know that it’s andbody's business, anyhow,” he grumbled in an ill-assured voice. Judith brushed the rebuff aside. “Oh, but it is—it’s mine, For a very par- ticular reason,” she continued, as if af- fectionately resolved to break down the barrier of his reserve. “A reason? Nonsense What has a chit Nke you got to do with reasons?” “You mean I'm so unreasonable?” A ulck shadow crossed her face. “You idn’t really mean that?” “I didn’t mean anything.at all—any more than you do. I only meant: why aren't we very well as we are?” Her ¢yes grew wide at this, and con- tinued to fix him with a half mock- ing gravity. while her lips rounded into @ smile. “Oh, but, Martin dear. it’s Mrs. Sellars who ought to say that— not you” Boyne burst out laughing. How could one ever keép serious ‘or two minutes with any of these preposterous children? And one more he told him- ae that Judith was ae preposterous. as much of a cAild. es the younges of them. * “You know. darling. you ought to be empresse. impatient, passionate,” she acjured him. as if his véry life de- pended on his following her advice. He jeaned on his elbow and examined her with deliberation. “Well, of all the cheek — |"* head, still smiling. I’m real) not, Mar- with severity: “So has Mrs. Sellars— thank heaven too.” The girl stood up, and crossing the mogsy space between them, dropped down besice him and laid her hand on his arm. “Now I've offended you. Doll Westway always said I had no tact. And al] I wanted was to explain why I have to know as soon as possible when you're to be married.” * “Well, you certainly haven't ex- plained that,” Boyne answered, turn- ing away from her to relight his pipe. “No; but I’m going to. And you'l) be pleased. It's because we've all clubbed together—even the steps and Scopy have—to give you a really jolly wed- ding present: anc J] think you'll like what we've found. We unearthed it the other day at Toblach, at the antiquaire’s. And we want to know exactly the right moment to give it to you. You do love presents, don’t you, Martin?” she urged, as if straining her utmost to reach some human chord in him. He met the question with another laugh. “Love presents?” 1 should think I did! Almost as much as you do.” She colored @ little at the insinuation and, perceiving this, he hastened on: “It’s awfuliy dear of you all, and/I’m ever so grateful. But there was no need to be im such a devil of a hurry.” Her face becamé al! sympathy and in- terrogation. “Oh, Martin, you don’t mean—things haven't gone wrong, have they?” Her look and intonation showed that she would have been genuinely distressed if they had. A pang like neuralgia shot through Boyne—yet a pang that was not all bitter. He took her hand and laid what she had once called a “grown-up kiss” on it. “Of course not, dear. And thank you— thank you for everything. . . What- ever you've all chosen for me I shal) love... . . Only, you know, there’s real- ly no sort of hurry.” manifestly final. Folding her arms be- hind her, she let her head droop back on thém, and her gaze wandered lazily skyward through the flicker of boughs. Boyne had got his pipe going again. Gradually the tumult in his mind sub- sided. He sank back lazily at her side, tilting his hat over his brows and say- ing to himself: “What on earth's the use of thinking ahead, anyhow?” Directly in the line of his vision Judith’s sandaled feet lay in a bed of bracken, crossed like a resting Mer- fsury’s. He could almost see the little tufted wings at the heels For the mo- ment his imagination was imprisoned fin a circle close about them. (Continued tomorrow.) YOUR INCOME TAX The tax on dividends is an important item in the returns of many texpayers As defined by the revenue act of 1928. the term “dividend” means any distri- bution made by ‘& corporation to its shareholders, whether in money or oth- er property. out of its earnings or prof- its accumulated after February 26, 1913 If a dividend represents profits earned by a corporation prior te March 1, 1913, there is no tax. A dividend may be payable out of current profits or accumulated surplus, but it hes no legal existence until it ts “declared” by a formal] resolution of the directors of the corporation. The ordinary form of dividend is a periodical cash distribution of current profits. However. dividends may be paid in se- curitiés or other property. For exam- ple, a corporation may exhibit among its stockholders securities in which it has tnvested its earnings. Such securt- ties are to be reported as dividends by value on the date the dividends become payable. The rate of tax on the income of cor- porations was reduced by the revenue act of 1938 from 131, to 12 per cent. The same rate applies to the income of insuranee companies, the reduction with respect to this class of taxpayers being from 12% to 12 per cent.

' Fourteen persons are dead, the vic- tims of a poison contained in a 50- gallon batch of alcohol manyfactured by a “new process.” Seven others, sev- eral blind and in convulsions, are near death in hospitals. Physicians agreed little could be done to save the suf- ferers from the “horrible death which claimed the others who drank each other's health a few days ago. Authorities said it was probable that others might have been poisoned by the same experimental alcohol and their cases not reported. Two Men Are Held, Two men, alleged bootleggers, are held on open charges in connection with the manufacture and éale of the poison liquor. Police refused to divulge the basis of their flat statement that the victims had been poisoned by a 50-gallon batch of Alcohol, manufac- tured by a new process here last week: The dead: John Dempsey, 38; Frank kh Aylward, 38; Clarence Hoppe, 28; Har- She met this in silence, as something | the stockholders at the fair market | P° old Huddleston, 28; Mrs. Ellen McFad- den, 49; Richard Farra, 32; Edward Baldwin, 38, all of Peoria; W.

In Peoria hospital and Vermont’s are seven who are not expected to live. They are: Ray Viederbeck, 33, and John Phillips, 50, of Peoria; Edward Hanra- han, 38, Burlington. Iowa; Edward Bailey, 42, and Katherine Gary, 40, Wes- ley City, Ill., and Charles Cox, 49, and Laura Hetz, 43, of Vermont. Six of the victims died today three in Vermont, two at Washington and one here. Convulsions and Blindness. W. S. Elliott, coroner. said postmor- tem examinations established conclu- sively that all of the deaths had been caused by a liquor poisoning, the exact nature of which was undetermined. He quoted chemists as saying that the poison had affected the pancreas, end in several cases, had caused almost in- stant death. Virtually every death however, was preceded by convulsive periods and blindness. Edward Baldwin, the latest victim, worked this morning and became ill during his lunch hour. and fell dead an hour later. He apparently had fre- friends said he had attended last week. The two men held for questioning are Morris Mansfield, Peoria, and Louis Feld, proprietor of a soft drink parlor in the Stockyards Hotel, where .three of the victims’ attended a drinking party last week. Mansfield, police said, confessed he sold a gallon of alcohol to Feld. Authorities said several rajds at Feld’s establishment. revealed no trace of the alco Made as Experiment, Mansfield told police he obtained the aicohol in a shipment from Chicago. but the State’s attorney’s office an- nounced the alcohol which caused the deaths had been manufactured locally by an individual who was experiment- ing with a new distilling process. Although several of those who were isoned regained consciousness. au- thorities were unable to obtain any information relative to the source of the alcohol. Vernon, Peorla and Wash- ington police broadcast warnings to al] citizens in the hope that unconsumed amounts of the poison alcohol might be obtained for analysis. It appeared improbable that any of the uncon- sumed alcohol would be used after the deaths. The Stockyards Hotel was the scene of a night’s entertainment last week. Several live stock merchants attended the party. police said. Dempsey. Ayl- werd, Sammons, now dead. and Vied- erbeck and Phillips were among the guests. Three Died Saturday. Three guests died Saturday night, bul it was not until early today that Coroner Elliott announced the deaths had been caused by poison Hquor. Re- ports of the other deaths and illness followed.

GILADELPHIA, March 4.—West Catholic High School’s Quintet today eliminated the Western High School Team, of Washington, D. C., in the Yniversity of Pennsylvania Scholastic Basket Ball Tournament at the Palestra by a score of 25 to 18. It was the first game for both teams. The history of the Penn tournament saows West Catholic has been the nemesis of teams from the Capital City.

Today Western was doomed to elim- ination from the classic schoolboy court event of the East from the very start, for West Catholic, led by McNichols, of the McNichol family famous in the annals of Philadelphia and Pennsyl- vania basket ball, jumped ahead at the beginning and amassed a safe lead.

Dixie Season Officially Open As Babe Ruth Dons Unitorm By GEORGE KIRKSEY (United Press Staff Correspondent). EW YORK, March 4 (U.P.).—To baseball fans, the real inaugura- tion was down at St. Petersburg, Fla., where Babe Ruth donned a uni- form and worked out with the world champion New York Yankees for the first time this season. All the major league clubs may start practice, but the real baseball training season from the fans’ viewpoint does not commence until the King of Swat comes shuffling out from behind a big palm tree and, in his great, booming voice, yells: “Hi, there, kid, how are you?” This the Babe did today, and now baseball fans from coast to coast can settle down and figure out the pennant winners some time between now and April 16. Weighing about 235 pounds, approxi- mately 10 pounds more than he weighed at this time last year, Ruth laid aside his golf clubs and began a careful campaign to get himself a $100,000 contract for 1930. $100,000 Will Be His Price Next Season, Babe Says. This will be Ruth’s last season under his three-year contract at $70,000 a | year, and Secretary Ed Barrow has dropped the hint that Ruth’s future contracts will be for ome season only. Ruth’s retort is: “Well, it will cost him $100,000 next season, then.” The question of whether Ruth is or is not through has been raging around the baseball circuit on and off all dur- ing the winter months. Physical cul- ture experts can show you in ten min- utes that Ruth’s legs are gohe and he’s done for, with 1929 as perhaps his last season as & regular. There may be some truth {fo the theory that when the Babe goes he w ' go like a shooting star.

The approaching season undoubtedly will be a crucial one in Ruth’s base- ball career, but it may be going just a bit too far to say that the Bambino is on his last legs. He is only 35 and unless, as they say, his legs are through, he ought to be able to do his chores around the Yankee Stadium for another threé or four seasons. On the basis of his work last season, Ruth hasn’t a chance to get even a one-year contract from the Yankees next season for his present wage. He may come back and stage a baseball miracle the coming season, in which event he'll have quite a bit to say about the size of his next salary. In the last eight years Ruth has signed only two contracts, a five-year contract in 1922 and a three-year con- tract in 1927. $10,000 Forfeit Binds Walker-Loughran Bout Chicago, Ill., March 4 (A.P.).—Jack Kearns, manager of Mickey appearance of the world’s weight champion against Walker, signed a contract today to assure the middle- Tommy Loughran, light heavyweight titleholder, for a ten-round contest opening the new Chicago Stadium March 28. Kearns tyrned over to Paddy Har- tion, a check mon, president of the stadium corpora- for $10,000 as a forfeit for Walker’s appearance. When the forfeit and contracts are handed to the Illinois State Athletic Commission to- morrow, Paul Prehn, chairman of the commission, said a permit would be issued for the match. Kearns left for New York in Rumson, N. J. turn to Chicago ten days before the battle. D. C. College Nines Seek Outdoors Today Providing the sun shines or the ground becomes sufficiently hard in some miraculous manner, the baseball Squads of Georgetown, Maryland, Cath- olic and Gallaudet will practice out- doors today. For the Gallaudet dia- monders it will be the initial workout of the year. The pitchers and catchers of the first three institutions named have been lobbing the ball around indoors and out for the past several days. The battery men of Georgetown started two weeks ago and soon should. be rounding into playing form. Gallaudet this year resumes baseball! after a lapse of one year, but fortu- nately for the Silents’ chances Coach Krug will start the drills with seven 1927 regulars. They are Hokanson, Dyer, Monaghan, Lau, Katz. Cosgrove and Zieske. The schedule has not yet been worked on aAd when complete will include about/ten games. This will be Kfug’s first experience in the role of baseball mentor.

Harris Has Largest Squad With Galloway, Johnson Missing. Phoenix, Ariz. March 4 (United Press).—The largest squad ever taken by Manager Bucky Harris to a train- ing camp worked~out at the baseball park here today. Practice games be- tween the regulars and the Yannigans will be played next Saturday and Sun- day. Only two players were missing from the Detroit roster today. They are “Chic” Galloway, infielder, who is under physicians’ orders, and Roy Johnson, San Francisco outfielder, who is now classed as a holdout. The Tigers have been divided into two squads for training, the first start- ing work at 11 a. m. and the second appearing at 12:30. The second and final contingent of players which arrived here Sunday went through a light workout today and will not begin heavy work until late this week. Houston Infielder Is Sensation In Cardinals’ Workout. Avon Park, Fla., March 4 (U.P.). Carey Selph, rookie infielder from Houston, who is slated to play second base for the St. Louls Cardinals this season, fielded flashily in infield prac- tice today, making seve~al brilliant plays.

Jan. 19, 1929 REACHED BY DUKE FIVE Beats Georgia, 43-37, and Meets Carolina State for Title. TLANTA, Ga., March 4 (A.P.).— Duke University’s brilliant Blue Devils and a set of dribbling North Carolina State Redshirts won the right to put on an all-North Carolina final in the Southern Conference cham- pionship basket ball tournament. The Durham Demons gave a great all-around exhibition of finished basket ball tonight to eliminate a strong Uni- versity of Georgia Team in the semi- final round, 43 to 37. while the Wolf- pack of Raleirh turred beck the de- fending champion, the University of Mississippi, in an equally thrilling battle, 34 to 32. : Duke displayed two great basket hit- ters in Croson and Werber, not to men- tion a fleet little forward named Coun- cilor. This Werber, a guard, was all over the court, breaking up Georgia passes, taking long shots at the hoops, passing to his men and dribbling in circles through the Bulldog defense, Councilor, coming in the game late, aided him materially in carrying the ball into scoring territory. Georgia Assumes Lead and Ils Always Close Later. Sanford and Palmer, of Georgia, how- ever, can not be denied their places for glory. The lean center and big forward furnished and offensive spark that put the Athens Team in front a long while and kept them too close for comfort later. State’s Wolfpack, in vanquishing the team from Oxford, found plenty to overcome in the forms of Selby and Laird. The former, a hard shooting for- ward, rang up eight field goals, while Laird, a guard, continually swept the ball down the court. The Carolinians, however, staging a great fight in the finish With Bob War- ren, fleet, hard-dribbing guard, pushing Manag-r McCarthy said the contests had revealed little to be corrected at this stage of spring training. Much time will be devoted to snapping up double plays and base stealing. While the third base situation still is being considered, Clyde Beck is mak- ing. a good bid for the post. Rogers Fornsby seemed to have found his bat- ting eye toray. The Avalons and the Catalinas, two Cub teams, will settle the club cham- pionship Wednesday each having won a previous encounter. The Cubs will leave for the mainland Thursday for a three-game series with Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast League. Joe Proctor Winner By Knockout in Third Special to The Washington Post.

Sr" —— — the Naked Truth — By JAMES S. COLLINS EW YORK, March 4—When Judge Emil’ Puchs, president of the Braves, announced this win- ter that he himself would undertake to manage the team from the bench this year, the boys thought the good judge was spoofing. Unlike many club owners, he had never shown any back- seat driving inclinations. If his man- ager saw fit to consult him on playing policy or a trade, he was yessed s/] over the broad expanse of Braves Pield; if not, it was O. K. with the judge, Except for setting them invariably when they overbid bridge hands, the judge’s attitude toward his managers was sweetly deferential. With George Stallings’ profane ex- hortations to his players still ringing in their ears; the boys tried to picture Fuchs in George’s old role, but they could not. Some managers, they knew, successfully glove the iron hand in velvet and pull their verbal punches, but nothing softer than an 8-minute egg. they felt, could do anything with the Brave crew. They doubted if. the judge would get anywhere as a base- ball Pollyanna and looked for him to don defensive armor of ugliness as thick as Jack Sharkey’s. Holdout Melts Under Kind But Unique Tactics : Almost the first case requiring man- agerial attention seemed to call for vigorous methods. Pat Collins, the hu- man battleship obtained from the Yanks on waivers, showed up at train- ing camp with one hand clutching his unsigned contract and the other dou- bled. The contract, roared Pat, was an insult and he would be thus and so before he would catch for the Braves for any such pittance. Ever so gently, with a look in his eyes like that of a gazelle that has lost everything that she held dear in life, including her cud, the good judge took the offending contract from Pat and tore it up. Then he handed Pat- trick another, in blank, and told the player to write in the salary he thought he was worth. Something like a sob shook Patrick’s shoulders as he bor- rowed a fountain pen, wrote in the same terms originally offered and signed the contract. Judge Takes Bull By Horns And Appears In Uniform While this was hailed as a master stroke of something or other impos- sible of conception by even so masterly a mind as McGraw’s, the boys felt that despite this coup the good judge would not go through with his resolution to manage the team. It is one thing to manage a ball player in a hotel room after he has surrounded a bountiful dinner, and another to handle him on the diamond when he hasn’t had any lunch. ,Bets were made that if the good judge ever visited the Braves’ bench it would be to get a drink of water. But he fooled them again. Not only did he appear on the bench out he appeared in uniform, right along- side Jawing Jawn Evers and his moun- tainous chew of tobacco. Even the skeptics had to admit that the judge looked as natural in a uni- form as Calvin Coolidge did in a ten- gallon hat and chaps, or Babe Ruth in a Buster Brown suit. It later de- veloped that the good judge had don- ned the uniform at the behest of pro- tographers and would not wear it reg- ularly, but the fact remains he is se- rious about managing the team. No wonder Pat Collins decided to sign with the Braves on insulting terms. ts going to be lots of fun to sit on the Braves’ bench this summer and hear the conversations of Manager Fuchs and Jawing Jawn. his assistant.

But it will not encounter much trouble in being passed, it was prophesied yesterday. Having been unanimously approved oy the Senate last year and favorably re- ported out by the House District com- mittee a few weeks ago, it will quickly reach a vote in the next session, sup- porters of the measure believe. Approval of the majority then will determine the bill's pasage. It will not be necesary to bring: it up under the unanimous consent rule, but will be voted on on a District day. Representative Updike, of Indiana, who was chief sponsor of the bill in the House, will not have a seat in the Seventy-first Congres. However, many of its supporters will return and it is believed that a new sponsor will come quickly to the fore. Ft.

f ee GAMES TO SEE FAVORITES C. THE WASHINGTON POST: TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1929. — — — — — — — — — —— — eee eee — — IRST S. ATLANTIC Post Tourney Contestants Paired Quantico Five to Meet - Fort Washington; Potomac vs. West. Lighter Class Players Weigh in Today at Boys Club. RAWING for the South Atlantic A. A. U. basket ball championship tournament, which The Washing- ton Post is staging here in cooperation with the South Atlantic basket ball committee, show that the District champions to be crowned out of the record field will have truly earned their titles and the right to meet Baltimore's winners for A. A. U. titles and the team trophy and individual medals. The pairings reveal that no club will have an easy path to first honors. In some few cases the first round games will mean the passing of a team gen- erally rated among the favorites. This ig particularly true of the Quantico Marine-Fort Washington contest in the lower bracket of the unlimited class. These teams played a prominent part in last year’s tournment. Two other top- noteh clubs brought together in the first game are the Potomac Boat Club and W. H. West. Both have eviable records. The United Typewriter Grays, who as the Woodlothians won the title last year, drew the Bolling Field Five for the opening game, while the crack J. Cc. C. Quintet must buck Company C, of the District Guards. The latter team, which includes American University players. offers the Center Five a formi- dable foe. Crack 145-Pounders Paired For Opening Battles. Woltz drew the Bliss Collegians, who gave some clever exhibitions last year before leaving the race. The St. Mary’s Celtics, fast Alexandria club, opens the . tournament with the Naval Air Five. Some of the best games in the 145- pound class are expected in the first round. Harriman & Co. faces a strong club in Stewart Brothers, French’s meets St. Martin's, while the Montrose Club, with its Western High stars, must defeat the strong Press Building Car- dinals to advance. The Jewish Com- munity Center faces formidable opposi- tion in the Brentwood Hawks. One feature of the first-round games in the 145-pound division is the meet- ing of the Calvary Reds and the Pet- ‘ Worth Mets, both teams representing their church gymnasiums. Noel House and Boys Club Meet in 115-Pound Class. The Curtin Wonders, composed of the light members of the Eastern High Court Squad, must meet the Washing- ton Preps, 130-pounders, in the first game. The Wonders have been made something of favorites. Another out- s team, the Jewish Community Center’s great 130-pounders, faces St. Martin's in the first round. Representatives of two sports cénters will meet in one of the outstanding first-round games in the 1i115-pound class when the Boys Club Optimists meet the Noel House Five. In the 100- pound class, which appears a hotbed of rivalry.. there seems to be a real — in each of the four opening con- The senior girls’ class offers three promising games in the first round.

The tourney was originally scheduled to start on next. Monday. Due to the record num- ber of entries and the large number of games which must be played, those im charge have been making an effort to move the starting date ahead.

Grays, South Atlantic unlimited cham- pions last year and entrants in the same class this season, will engage the Skinker Bros. Eagles tonight in the Congress Heights Gymnasium at 8:30 o’clock. The two teams met earlier in the season and the Grays won, 35 to 21. The same dependable array which has carried the Eagles through many & contest this season will be seen in ac- tion, including Sweeney, Faber, King, Bennie, Thompson, . Streeks and Krumm, while Forney, Macdonald, Tommy Peck, Buscher and Banta will line up for the Grays. An attractive preliminary will bring the Petworth Mets and Company C, of the District National Guards, together at 7 o’clock. As quite a little rivalry exists between these two teams, a real game is expected. Individual Scoring Battle Adds Much interest to Game. A battle for scoring honors will take place *in the Eagle-Gray clash. The former has Sweeney, Faber and Bennie as its potent scorers, while Buscher and Tommy Peck are the Gray big- timers. Buscher is probably the out- standing scorer of the amateurs of the city, owning an average of eight Das- kets per game. His play will be watched with a little more than pass- ing interest by the many fans who are expected to crowd into the Anacostig auditorium. Should the Eagles win tonight, even- ing the series, a third game will he played Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the same gymnasium. The Eagles must win to retain their reign as un- limited champions of the city or lose their grip on the coveted honor for the first time in the history of the club. New York Quintet Here As Carlisles Opponents The Lichtman Carlisle Quintet will entertain the strong Renaissance Club, of New York, colored champs, on Thurs- day night in a return engagement at the Lincoln Colonnade. The locals will present their strongest line-up against the New Yorkers, who won easily the last three times here. “Slim” “Henderson, Eddie Davis and “Slim” Thomas will be in the Carlisle line-up, along with the other players of the team. Henderson will play against “Stretch” Saunders, the New Yorkers’ 64%4-foot center, in an effort to stop that player's flashy floor work. Others who will appear in the New Yorkers’ line-up include Jenkins, : Slo~ cum, Saich, Ricks and Mayers, Lynchburg Boy Signs With Greensboro Club Lynchburg, Va., March 4 (A.P.).—Carl Driskill, hard-hitting outfielder with the Glass High School here for four years, has been signed by Greensboro, N.

Swimmers Atlantic Title By RICHARD 8S. TENNYSON. HE Central High School swimming team, which has had one of its most successful seasons, will put in a strenuous week starting today in preparation for thé annual Scholastic South Atlantic Championships, which will take place next Saturday in the Baltimore City College tank. A formidable array of teams have entered and if Coach Fred J. Brunner, of the Central tankmen, is to realize his ambition to bring the title to the local school for the first time in five years, his swimmers must be in twp form. Among the schools entering teams in the meet are: Tome, Friends of Balti- more, Baltimore City College, Beltimore Poly, Loyola, Augusta Military Academy, Staunton Academy and Central. There will be individual entries from other institutions, but those listed above will be the contestants for team honors. Lyman’s Chances Considered Good to Retain Diving Title. Coach Brunner will have but one South Atlantic champion in his squad of 30 who will go to Baltimore. Lyman won the fancy diving event last year and will compete for Central again Saturday. His chances of retaining the title are considered ‘ One of the chief problems that Ooach Brunner will have to settle between now and Saturday is the makeup fo his relay teams. Brunner expects to enter O’ Reilly Convalescing From Grip Attack John D. O'Reilly, track mentor at Georgetown University, convalescing from @ week's iliness with the grip. has taken a turn for the better, it was learned last night. O'Reilly, who missed the intercollegiates at New York on Saturday, will be able to resume his duties at Georgetown in the next two or three days, which is good news to the many track candidates and stu- dents who almost worship the con- genial coach. Record of Company E Speaks Well for Tourney If a consistent winning record is go- ing to mean anything in the South Atlantic toyrnament, which, inciden- tally, wih mean a great deal, then the Company E Five, of the District Na- tional Guard, will go quite @ ways in the tourney to opem soon. The Sol- diers have won 18 straight games this season to add to 14 consecutive wins last year. The team is composed of former high school and college stars, includ- ing Roberts, captain; Sawyer. Clifford, Yingling, Brown, Xanton, Glasscock, Turneak and the Nelson brothers, Mel- ville and Garland. Samuel March, former Marine coach, is manager.

Coach Brunner states that only fractions of seconds difference exist in the time of several of his young natators. All but Two Teams Entered Beaten by Central Thie Year. The Central swimmers feel that their chances of winning the meet are better than usual because they have defeated all of the teams entered except Staun- ton and Augusta, in dual meets during the year. In the individual events, Central will be represented by the following: 50- yard swim, Burno, Dixey, Hickey, Bam- man, : Duffield, Fancy diving, Leverton, Cave, D.

FEDERAL LIST IRREGULAR New York, March 4 (A.P.).—Prices in the bond market today slipped down- ward in sympathy with selling in the stocks and nervousness over the Mexi- can revolution. More than a dozen issues, including the Mexican bonds, sank to the new low levels for the year, and the Associated Press combined im more than two years. Some of the first-grade rails and a sprinkling of issues in the general list, including Anaconda Copper 75, display- ed independent strength. The Ana- conde Copper 7s, after getting up to 236, 1 point under its record price, closed at 233 for a net gain of 2% points. Alleghany Corporation 5s turn- ed heavy after an early exhibition of strength. “New lows for 1929 were established by such industrials as Bethlehem Steel. refunding 5s and International Cement 5s, each with a 1% point drop.

While there may have been some disappointment thas the Hoover inaugural message failed to measure up to some of the earlier fore- casts, which predicted a sweeping ap- proval of oil conservation and railroad consolidation plans, the tightening credit factor revealed in the further firming up of commercial paper rates also had a chilling effect in that group Electric Bond & Share broke nearly 7 points and rallied 1. American Super- power showed a net ioss of 5% points and American Gas & Electric, Eastern States Power B and United Gas Im- provement closed 2 to 3% pointe lower Alexander Industries. ich opened at 17 when admitted to trading last week, advanced more than 2 points, to a new high record at 23%, on buying influenced by reports of large orders for the company’s new Eagle Rock plane. Fokker also attained a new top, but the other aviation issues showed Uttle change. Trans Lux was in. brisk demand all day, duplicating the year’s high price of 12%, on buying influenced by the rapid expansion in the company’s busi- ness. Franklin Manufacturing ran up more than 5 points, to a new high at 41 Other issues to sell at pew peak prices for the year were Arcturus Radio Tube, Fashion Park, Inc., the Haygart issues, Murphy Co., National Family Stores preferred, Republic Brass and. Savannah Sugar. There were several outstanding soft spots. Auburn Auto broke 6 points, Newton Steel 5%. Pitney Bowes 5% and Tubize Artificial Silk and Singer Manufacturing 10 each. Associated Rayon, Doehler Die Casting, Midconti- nent Laundries, Ruberoid, Southwest Stores and United States Asbestos touched new low prices for the year. OIL QUOTATIONS. OIL CITY. Pa..

William Tobe, 53 Flower avenue, President Pocket Vetoes Unanimously Passes Measure After Congress It; Failure to\ Sign Causes Amazement Among Employes. The Dale-Lehibach civil service re- tirement will was lost yesterday when President Coolidge failed to sign it. The measure had been — unanimously by both houses of Congress. News that the bill had suffered a pocket veto came as a shock to the Gevernment employes who would have benefited, for they had been led to be- lieve that Mr. Coolidge would s*gn it. Although Coolidge had originally been opposed to the measure, it was indi- cated at the White House. last week that he had changed his mind and would sign it. Hence the amazement that was caused by his failure ty act yesterday. The bill would have liberalized the present retirement act by increasing the maximum annuity from 81,000 to $1,200, would have permitted employes to retire at their own option after 30 years’ service and would have permitted them to retire two years earlier than they do now. Mr. Coolidge offered no explanation in refusing to sign the bill, so conse- quently there is no way of knowing what caused him to change the atti- — he had apparently taken last week. $2,000,000 Clar ke School Fund Full E.

Charlton, national chair- man of the fund, annuunced. A large number of persons contribu- ted sums ranging from $5,000 to $135.,- 000. Mr. Charlton. presented to Mrs. Coolidge his check for $100,000 yester- day morning, taking the campaign , will give the check for $2000,000 to the schooi at a ceremony to be held after her arrival in North- ampton, Mass., where the school is lo- cated. It was while teaching these deaf children that Grace Goodhue met and married an aspiring young attorney who became president, Calv*n Coolidge.

Dissatisfied with the manner evi- dence was obtained through paid police informers, Assistant District Attorney David A. Hart at Police Court yester- day refused to prefer liquor charges against nine colored persons. Hart stated that unless absolute proof was obtained in cases where in- formers were employed, by both police and dry agents, he would decline to al- low the cases to go into ‘court. In the majority of the cases yesterday. which grew out of week-end raids, Hart said the police had not properly “covered” the informers. Eugene D. Liverpool, colored, 46 years old, first man arrested under the Jones li-uor law Saturday, was one of those liberated. The others were Winifred Barnes, Dorothy Clark, Willie Poole, Augustus Johnson, George Banks, Virginia Ran- dolph, Samuel Smith and Teddy Smith. Police of the Fourth Precinct arrested Poole after nine soldiers were seen to enter the house in Wonder Court southwest, Hart decreed the raiders had made an unlawful search and seizure. 6 Men, 3 Women Arrested in Raid Woman, Apartment Tenant, Accused of Running Disorderly Place.

Baltimore police court Sa -— oe meee Re oE SS * — — — —— Supreme Court Judgeship and Utilities Board Post Are Open. BOTH NOMINEES IGNORED Two local offices must be filled by President Hoover as the result of the Senate’s failure to approve the two men named to them by former Presi- dent Coolidge—the office of justice of the District Supreme Court and that of vice chairman of the Public Utilities Commission. Henry H. Glassie, of Chevy Chase, Md., was nominated for the judgship; but although the judiciary committee approved him, the Senate itself failed to confirm the nomination. Harrison Brand, jr., was nominated for another term on the Public Utilities Commission, but the Senate District committee allowed the nomination to die in a pigeon hole. When a judiciary subcommittee held hearings on Glassie, witnesses charged that he had once assaulted an attorney in court. While it was not brought out at the hearing, a number of sena- tors were angry with him for his ac- tions and policies while a member of the Tariff Commission. Brand’s support of the proposed street car merger cost him his job. -The Central Labor Union and the People’s Legislative SGervice charged that he had been more in sympathy witi the traction men than with the interests of the public. President Hoover also soon will be called upon to reappoint Commission- ers Proctor L. Dougherty and Sidney F. Taliaferro, and it can be said now that he is going to receive protests against them when the time arrives. PRINTING OFFICE AID DIES. Rites Se. for Eugene C. Heisley, Who Died in Maryland.

When Miss Geraldine Horn, 16-year- old Brooklyn society girl who was found here at the home of Lieut. Col. FP. H. Garrison, 1531 Ogden street northwest, after having been missing from an exclusive school at Lititz, Pa., since February 18, was returned to Brooklyn, it was revealed that the reason her whereabouts were not dis- covered sooner was because Mrs. Garri- son was out of the city and Col. Gar- rison knew nothing of her presence. Miss Horn’s father, Fred H. Horn, was quoted by New York newspapers as saying that his daughter’s absence was a schoolgirl prank and was part of a plot. He revealed that her room- mate at the school was Margaret Gar- rison, and a former roommate was an- other daughter of Col. Garrison. Shirley Garrison “Shirley Garrison’s home in Wash- ington was the ideal place for her to go,” said Mr. Horn. “She was a former roommate. Col. Garrison was away from home most of the day and Mrs. Garrison was in Miaml. the maids were the only ones who knew that Geraldine was there. They hid her in closets when the colonel was home, so that he had no idea she was there.” Edwin S. Henry Dies After Operation Patent Office Examiner, 67, Held Federal Post Since 1900. Edwin 8S.

Capt. Guy E. Burlingame, suspended commander of-the Second Police Pre- cinct, is to take the witness stand in his own defense before a special police trial board when his trial on charges of improper relations with Mrs. Helen F. Blalock, former Seventh. street palmist, is resumed at 10 o’clock this mornisz in the trial room in the Sixth Precinct Station on New Jersey avenue, between D and E streets northwest. Burlingame, veteran of 33 years po- licing, described by his chief as the “best roughneck cop on the force,” is to match his word and reputation and record against that of Mrs, Blalock, his accuser. The police captain, fighting against an inglorious dismissal as the climax of his long police career which began with pounding the pavements a third of a century ago, is e to be on the witness stand for the entire day, under the direct and cross-examination. Just what defense will be advanced has not been made known by William E. Leahy and Henry F. Woodard, prominent attorneys who are defending the police captain out of their friend- ship and without fee. The defense already has admitted that the signatures which are attached to a love letter and to numerous cards and receipts and notes, really are Bur- lingame’s, as is charged by the prosecu~ tion. This admission is not very im- portant for the most part, inasmuch as Burlingame admits an association with the former palmist and self-confessed lady of the night, but insists that that association was a proper one, On & business basis and was a relationship born out of a desire to help the daugh- ter of a man who had been his friend when the I oe @ young copper unding his firs at. — prosecution has made no effort to use these receipts and cards and en- velopes as proving anything else than a close association between the “dream girl” of the love letters and the police captain. How Burlingame will explain the fa- mous love letter, which concluded with “your heartsore Daddy,” and was sign- ed in ink “Guy E. Burlingame,” has not been disclosed. Burlingame admitted that it was his signature on that letter, but he coupled that admission with a denial that he was the author of either that or any of the other love letters. It has been reported that the defense explanation is that Burlingame, copy- ing the love letters for Mrs. Blalock, jeered at the lack of courage of the writer who had not signed them, and, in a‘ spirit of joking, signed his own name to that particular letter before he turned it over to Mrs. Blalock. The defense also is expected to prove that Mrs. Blalock, far from being in deathly fear of Burlingame and seeking to avoid him, actually sought him out at the precinct station on many occa- sions and frequently sought to and did communicate with him by telephone. That Mrs. Blalock was a valuable source of information on underworld affairs in the precinct is expected to be another contention the defense will seek to prove to the trial board. Testi- fying before the trial board Mrs. Bla- lock denied that this was so, Mrs. Blalock’s attack on Burlingame, the defense hopes to show, was in- spired by personal and publicly ayowed enemies of the captain, including for- mer Policeman Orville Staples, dismiss- ed from the force by a trial board of which Burlingame was a member, and by former Representative Tom Blanton, of Texas, Staples’ counsel. Blanton an- nounced publicly in the course of the Staples’ trial that he would “get” Bur- lingame. Several other defense witnesses are to be called and among them is ex- pected to be a sister of Mrs Blalock. She is expected to be called in an ef- fort to throw doubt on the reliability of the testimony given by Mrs. Blalock The sister had a conference Saturday afternoon with Leahy ‘n his office. She has been the rec‘pient of several anonymous threats, including one to cut her tongue out if she teatified for the defense, and is said to have been under surveillance It was reported that. fearful, she aad left the city. Whether she will be called ts not defi- nitely known. Other defense witnesses wil: include officers and privates unde’ Burlin- game's command, who are expected to support the captain's story of the case in several specific details. The defense also is expected to attack the veracity of Charile Green, the colored express- man, who testified that he carted be- s longings of Capt. B Mrs. Bialock’s to Bur pec tom after which there will remain only the closing ‘arguments the prosecution and defense. The whole case may be ended tomorrow, although there is « probability that attorneys wili want a few hours to go over the whole case and arrange their summations 8 Persons Vanish During Celebration 3 Women, One of ‘85, and Five Children Missing, Police Are Told.
