PRESIDENT WORSHIPS AT MEETING HOUSE White House Egg-Rolling Today Will Attract the Children of City. Marked by the presence of thousands a‘ special religious services for all de- nominations, by the descent upon the Capital of host of visitors from as far West as the Mississippi, by throngs —58 the streets and at the points of 'mterest in the city, by the joyous scrambling of children for eggs left by the rabbit, another Easter has passed into history. Cloudy, and none too warm, Easter Sunday was not propititious for the display of spring finery which is tra- ditionally associated with the holiday. However, the rain which hac been pre- dicted by the Weather Bureau held off during the daylight..hours, allowing Washingtonians and their guests the opportunity of going through the pro- gram of the day without that discom- fort. Solemnity. and yet splendc-;. featured the services in the churches of the city as the Day of Resurrection was ob- served. Two great mass services out- doors were added to the usval church programs, with additional thousands banking themselves in natural amphi- theaters to rejoice in the spirit of Easter. For young and ola. alike tt was [} acme of reverence, with duty to church paramount. Sight seeing, auté-+ mobile rides, attending theaters and the other amusements of everyday life were forgotten for the moment, as the Capi- tal paused to do homage to the Saviour. Children Roll Eggs Today. The celebration of Easter will con- tinue today, when thousands of chil- dren will gather on the south lawn of the White House to indulge in the an- nual sport of egg rolling. President and Mrs. Hoover have indicated that they will take time off from their official duties to watch the boys and girls st play. While 30,000 children attended the egg rolling at the White House a year ago, that number may be reduced to- day, for the official weather forecast is showers, which may interfere with the program for which the boys and girls have been waiting. However, it will be warmer, the weather man says, and this fact may bring. out an even larger crowd despite the prospect of a damp day. It is estimated that 1,000,000 eggs will be used in the rolling contests tn various portions of the city, which at 40 cents per dozen runs into some $33,333 for the day’s sport in Wash- ington. Activities on the White House lawn will be broadcast over a Nation-wide hook-up for the first time, while music played during the afternoon by the United States Marine Band will aiso be put on the air. Outdoor Services Are Held. Early morning observances of Easter drew huge crowds to Walter Reed Hos- pital and Temple Heights where out- door services offered a spectacle which few of the visitors had ever witnessed before. Particularly colorful was the gathering at the hospital where the uniforms of nurses, attendants and of the men in service lent a touch of the military to the scene. Col. Edmund P. Easterbrook, chief of chaplains, United States Army, delivered the sermon. Under the auspices of the Washing- ton Federation of Churches, the sun- rise services at Temple Heights at- tracted another mighty gathering. Huston Thompson, former Federal Trade Commissioner, spoke, and Dr. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president of George Washington University. presided. 10,000 Visit Cathedral. Seven services at the Washington Cathedral brought more than 10,000 persons to various parts of the great edifice. Holy Communion was cele- brated at 7:30 in the morning, which was followed by almost hourly worship until late afternoon. Easter musica! programs by the cathedral choir of men and boys featured both morning and afternoon services in the Bethle- hem Chapel. In the churches of the Capital. altars were banked with spring flowers which with the corsages worn by many of the women in the congregations, Offered a symphony of color in con- trast to the black and white in the attire of the clergy.

Visitors arrived by every means of transportation—trains, buses, automo- biles, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes and hitch-hiking. adding to the heavy traffic of Washington. According to police, about everything on wheels that would roll. sallied forth early in the morning and remained touring until nearly 6 o'clock, reaching a peak of heavy traffic between 2 and 4 in the afternoon, Added to the rolling traffic, from the lowliest rattler of ancient vintage to the statliest of limousines, were tens of thousands of pedestrians—men. women and children, all dressed in their finest despite the threat of low- ering clouds. Apparently everybody in Washington was on the streets. Despite the swollen streams of traf- fic no serious accidents were reported by the Police Department, and, accord- ing to traffic policemen the increase over normal Sunday traffic varied in different arterial streets from 25 to 100 per cent and was handled without any Snarls of consequence. Traffic around the Tidal Basin, per- haps the heaviest by far in any part of the city, and estimated to have been heavier Sunday than during any other Easter Sunday, flowed one way only. The main line entered the Tidal Basin drive at Seventeenth and B northwest and continued ‘to the right around the drive. Other aitos entered the drive from the Washington Monument and Fourteenth «nd Water otrrets While some 30 park vwolicemen kept the sightseers in constant flow, air- planes droned overhead, approximate- ly 800 people seeing from the air the ring of tinting pink blossoms border- ing the basin. Others desiring to see the beautiful panorama from the air, rode or walked to the top of the Washington Monu- ment. A check showed that 3,740 per- sons entered the monument during the day. What police termed an “unprecedent- ed crowd” was a cosmopolitan, metro- politan and democratic throng, gay in colors, laughter and banter. College students and school boys and girls, filling buses from out of town to overflowing, went their merry way through the streets, admiring, cheering and expressing admiration for all they saw in the Capital City. Automobiles from every State in the Union, and some from Canada, were in the city. according to traffic police. Although figures are only approx:mate, it was estimated that more than 40,000 people came to Washington by train alone during Saturday night and Easter Sunday, doubling the usual week-end influx. B. R. Swain, extra assistant station master of Union Station, sata that 77 regular trains brought large quotas and that twelve extra trains, principally from New York, Philadelphia, Pitts- burgh and Cleveland emptied their sightseers ifito the city during the day Only one serious tie-up of traffic was tnreatened.

W., March 31 (U.P.)— The cross-Pacific monoplane Southern Cross, carrying Capt. Charles E. Kings- ford-Smith, Capt. Charles T. P. Ulm and two companions was forced down to- day in ome of the wildest parts of northern Australia. The, plane left Richmond airdrome on Saturday at 10:48 a. m. for a flight of 1,860 miles to Wyndham, on the north coast. Kingsford-Smith and Ulm were accompanied by H. A. Litchfield, navigator, and T. H. McWilliams, radio operator. The plane ran into fog. As the gasoline and oil were low, the fliers came down at the Drysdale Mission Station, 20 miles west of the Drysdale River. Arrangements were made to send fuel from Wyndham by launch, and it was expected the Southern Cross would be able to resume its flight by Wednesday. The region wheré the fliers landed is covered with dense jungle and abounds in alligators, snakes and savage tribes. Rockefeller Cousin Drowns for Friend Relinguishes His Only Means of Rescue in Raging River. Muskogee, Okla., March 31 (A.P.).— John D. Rockefeller, 17, Muskogee High School athlete and a third cousin of the oil multimillionaire, gave his life that a friend might surviv: a boating mishap near here today. Rockefeller and Dale Lecamp were thrown into the swollen Arkansas River when their motorboat overturned in midstream. The boat sank immediately, and an empty 5. gallon can was the only thing to which they might cling for support. They swam to the can, but it did not have sufficient buoyancy to support both. Apparently realizing that De- camp could not swim because of heavy boots-he was wearing, Rockefeller re- linquished the can to his companion and started swimming for shore. But he was unable to make progress against a swift current and was carried rapidly downstream. He sank before persons who saw the mishap could reach him in @ row boat. Decamp was rescued after he had floated more than a mile downstream.

PLAN SERIES OF PARLEYS Boston, March 31 (A.P.).—A Nation- wide campaign for a six-hour day to combat unemployment was launched here today by the Brotherhood of Rail- road Trainmen and its companion or- ganization, the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Firemen and Enginemen. Simultaneous meetings of New Eng- land members of both brotherhoods were held in the American House and in Faneuil Hall, where thirteen years ago the drive for the present eight- hour day for railroad employes began. Samuel E. Winslow, chairman of the here to address the engineers and fire- men, Dut after he had spoken of the success o. his board “in keeping labor troubles out of sight a..d in preventing them,” Timothy Shea, assistant presi- dent of the engineers, said, “We must go to Congress for a bill of rights to pictets men who are being cast into the junk heap. “In 1927, the best year the railroads ever hed,” Shea continued, “the num- ber of operating employes on the roads of this country numbered less than 1,- 700,000, while in 1920, the previous peak year of history, more than 2,- 000,000 men were required. With plans under contemplation which will mean the combining of 1,700 railroads under the control of the Interstate Commerce Commission into 18 or 20 big systems, it means that this brotherhood alone will have at least 20,000 more men out of jobs. “Neither the railroad labor act nor any Other legislation can prevent the railroad men of. this country from walking out on strike to get justice. The act is a good thing and will pre- vent trouble, but when the railroads refuse to participate in the proceedings before the regional boards, others methods of settling disputes will have to be put into effect.” The trainmen were addressed by their president, Alexander F. Whitney, of Cleveland, who sali, “I do not believe the inventor of labor-saving machinery a reap all the returns from his invention. but only a share, so that the employer and employe. especially the latter, who has been hardest hit, may share in the increased production through higher wages and shorter working hours.” : “No nation can continue great,” he concluded, “unless it corrects its social evils, and unemployment is one of the greatest of these evils.” A series of regional meetings in New Bngland and all other parts of the country were planned by both organi- zations as part of their campaign. Whitney said that the union would call upon employers to maintain the pres- ent basic wage in granting the six- hour day. , Tree Crash Fatal ‘To Auto Passenger —— —— Brother, Driver, Held After Henry Long’s Neck Is Broken.

FOLEY AND WALKER QUIT TAMMANY ROW “Big Four” to Select Leader Now Narrowed to Smith and Wagner. “SURVIVAL” IS IN BALANCE New York, March 31 (N.Y.W.NS.).— The so-called “big four” of Tammany Democrats, recently called in by the Tammany district leaders to advise with them on the Tammany leadership muddle, tonight appeared to have dwindled to a “big two”—former Gov. Smith and United States Senator Wag- ner—with the reported defection of Surrogate James A. Foley. Judge Foley, who with Mayor Walker were the other members of the original “pig four,” is to return to the city tomorrow from a week's vacation on Long Island. Those close to Foley stated that he would also pursue a “hands off” policy in the leadership struggle and refuse to take part in the ,forthcoming deliberations. Last week Mayor Walker came out into the open and said he would “re- main strictly neutral,” refusing to give his counsel one way or the other. Foley, On March 22, asserted in a public state- ment that he would have no part in the selection of a leader. His friends said his position has not changed. The abandonment of the “Big Four” | by Walker and Foley means, in the} opinion of the observers, that if the new leader of Tammany Hall is to be other than a district leader, the job of bringing that about, apparently shirked for poltical reasons by Walker and pos- sibly by Foley, :1ust be done, if at all, by Mr. Smith and Senator Wagner. Those in informed circles said to- night that the fate of the “new Tam- many” rested solely on the shoulders of former Gov. Smith and Senator Wagner, two of the strongest men in the New York Democracy. More than one ar- gued that if the successor to Tammany Leader George W. Olvany is one of the present Tammany district leaders, known as the “little fellows,” the “new Tammany” is certain to go glimmering.

They said one soldier was “blown to pledes.” As in the first aerial; attack this morning, three bombs were dropped over the side of the airplane, one prov- ing a dud. No one was injured during the morning raid. The second explo- sion late today was at the Mexican cus- tom house, A part of the bomb fell on the United States side of the interna- tional boundary. The plane appeared over the garrison at an altitude of 4,000 feet. Federal troops opened fire upon it with rifles. An American physician was called to the trenches shortly after the retreat of the plane. Rebels Claim Advance. Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, March 31 (A.P.) —Revolutionary headquarters re- ported today that the insurgent cavalry from the Jimenez base were -slowly moving southward and had taken pos- session of the Town of Ceballos, about 20 miles south of Escalon, near the Chi- huahua-Durango State line. Gen. Juan Andreu Almazan, federal commander in charge of the government’s offensive on Jimenez, has retreated from Escalon, the insurgents reported. Gen. Escobar, the rebel commander in chief, still was in Jimenez today, and rebel officials declared they had re- ceived no word to indicate he had changed his plans to concentrate his forces at Rellano, with outposts work- ing as far south as Ceballos. The revolutionary announcement said the rebel cavalry was jn control of Ce- ballos. Possession of this town, if true, would indicate the federal army is re- treating toward Torreon, as claimed by the rebels. Reinforcements are being added daily to the insurgent command wth the arrival of federal soldiers whc have de- serted the Callista army, it was an- nounced. ‘Capture of another federal airplane also was reported from Jimenez. An official bulletin stated a goverfiment) plane had been shot down two kilome- ters from Jimenez, and the plane was captured by rebel cavairy. The pilot, Gustavo de Leon, escaped. The plane was damaged only slightiv and has been repaired by the insurgents. The evolutionary bulletin also reported interception of a telegram two federal headquarters telling of the loss of an airplane piloted by Alfredo Lesama. The plane was brought down March 29, when it attempted to bomb a rebel camp.

Members of the prerevolutionary up- per classes who have proved them- selves 100 per cent loyal to the Soviet regime are spared, especially if they are specialists in any line the govern- ment needs. Those who, despite work- ing class origin, have showed themselves tainted with bourgeois ideas or methods are swept out as if they were -nere grand dukes. Every section of the Soviet structure against “socially alien” elements, in- cluding the Communist party itself, the compHcated governmental apparatus, the cooperatives, trade-unions, schools and universities, even literary and ar- tistic organizations. Real Reason for Fear, There is ample reason for panic among those who may be affected. To be “cleaned out” is no slignt matter here. It means that one becomes an outlaw, deprived of all soc:al privileges and subjected to merciless economic pressure. It means expulsion from the trade union, and therefore neither work nor the unemployment pittance while out of work. It means enor- mously higher prices for food, clothes, rent, exclusion of one’s children from the schools and universities. No one here blinks at the fact that great numbers are being driven into misery, despair and worse. It is regard- ed as a harsh but necessary manetiver in the class struggle. Part of the mer- ciless civil war which. in the twelfth year of the revolution, is far from ended. It is, in fact, a rt of the process of éxterminating the remnants of the former upper classes which would not—or could not—aedjust them- selves to the new society. There is, of course, a fringe of private enterprise where some of those affected may find a tenuous shelter. They may become street peddlers, kustars (handi- craft workers), private teachers, and the like. If they have the acumen and the cap‘ta] they may even gu into bus- iness on a small scale. But already un- employment is so large and competition so keen among the “de-classed” per- sons that such hope is not substantial. Elections Play Part. The Soviet elections, by forcing every community, even every single house, to sift out those who are not entitled to vote, have become an im- portant part of the job of “house- cleaning.” In Moscow alone some 80,- 000 have been disfranchised. The government has recognized the likelihood of errors in weeding out those not entitled to vote and has already. restored thousands to their ri gat Moreover, every @ne has & right to appeal. But those who at the end of a year—the limit for appeals—are still on the blacklists of nonvoters be- come outlaws whose lives at best will be difficult, at worst unbearable. For ‘the entire country, as far as one may judge it from extern quiescent in this war the “formers.” The necessity of eliminating these re- mainders of the past order is accepted as a natural and inevitable fact, quite beyond dispute. The vacated jobs and vacated homes will go to workers who need them. Extra places in the over- crowded schools will be taken by prole- tarian and peasant children. The petty tyrants in a hundred thousand offices throughout the union who may lose their posts for “bureaucratic” conduct certainly will find no sympathy among the masses. Hitting Left and Right.

CHIANG VICTORIOUS IN WURAN BATTLE Forces of Anti-Nationalist Leaders Are Preparing to Evacuate Hankow. 90,000 TROOPS ADVANCING Shanghal, March $1 (A.P. ).—Reports from Hankow today were that the Wuhan authorities were preparing to evacuate the city and fall back on the south bank of the Yangtse River. Not only had the vigor of the campaign by President Kai-Shek taken the Wu- han forces by surprise, but it was re- ported that 50,000 troops under Gen. Feng Hu-Hsiang were advancing upon Hankow from the north. This threat to their communications was believed to be the immediate rea- son for the sudden decision of the Wuhan generals to retreat. for their prepared positions to the east of Hwangchow would thus be outflanked. At that point there had been con- | centrated nearly 60,000 Wuhan soldiers, | facing the troops of Ch Kai-Shex or. the north bank of the Yangtse.

QUESTION OF SUCCESSOR ( Associated Press.) — Expressing his grief “for the passing of a splendid public servant,” Presi- Gent Hoover yesterday paid high trib- ‘ute to Myron T.

From 1903 to 1906 Mr. Herrick served most success- Zully as Governor of Ohio. He was ap- Pointed Ambassador to France in Feb- Tuary, 1912, serving until November, 1914.

There was no prospect ‘that President Hoover would take that | on up for a day or 80. There has been no indication that Mr. Herrick would be recalled by the mew administration from the Paris post he has held, altogether, for eleven unless it was at his own re- quest. The ambassador had given ‘no inkling of any intention to request re- jief, for a year or two at any rate, and at been confidently expected that he would remain in Paris, where his @areer has been unique.

His advanced years and poor health might have made loox forward with hesitation to the difficult problems of relations between France and the United States which would have falien to his lot to handle in the next year or two. Because of those problems, President Hoover and Secretary Stimson may be expected to give very careful consider- ation to selection of a successor to the man who endeared himself to both}. !

Herrick was held by the French nation, from the president to the humblest citizen, was shown by two incidents this evening. President Gaston Domergue, not satisfied with sending one represent- ative to present the condolences of France at the American Embassy, entrusted the expression to Admi- ral Vedel, Gen. Lasson and Jules Michel, chief of his civil cabinet, so that all elements of French official life might be represented.

OTHERS VOICE TRIBUTES Northampton, Mass., March 31 (A-P.). Former President Calvin Coolidge today expressed sorrow at the death of Am- bassador Myron T. Herrick, who, he said, he would miss “not only because he was a public servant of distinction, but because he was my friend.” “It is a great shock to hear of the passing of Ambassador Herrick,” Presi- dent Coolidge said. “Since coming home here I have had a letter from him.

Baker, former Secretary of War, to- day said that the death of Ambassador Myron T. Herrick, his personal friend, wes a “great public loss.” “He lived a distinguished life, and undoubtedly will be mourned as deeply in France as here,” Baker said. “He was my personal friend. I personally deeply grieve his death.” Tribute from Hughes. New York, March 31 (A.P.).—Tributes to Ambassador Myron T. Herrick, who died suddenly today in Paris, eulogized Ambassador to France, and pointed out that he had won not only the confi- panes, but the hearts of the French — Evans Hughes, former Secre- tary of State, said that “Ambassador Herrick has rendered services of incal- culable value to the country,” Edacators Voice Praise. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University: “Ambassador Herrick was a very dear friend of mine for many years. I am greatly distressed, No man has more completely, more honorably and more successfully represented our Govern- ment abroad in my lifetime. He has performed a service the value and ex- tent of which can not be realized by the people of the United States.” Chancellor Elmer Ellsworth Brown, of New York University: “For the last seventeen years Mr. Herrick, twice as ambassador, and dur- ing the interim in other close relation- ships, has been an agent of good will and good understanding between the United States and the French republic. The work he had to do has been done competently, without ostentation. His rare personal qualities have raised it from the plane of mere efficiency to that of genuine international friend- ship. In the history of diplomatic re- lations between France and America, the long terms of service of Ambassador Herrick from the one side and Ambas- seador Jusserand from the other side will stand as a ground of pride and gratification to both republics.

He is understood to have declined appointment as Under- secretary of State several times because of that fact. Suggestion is also made that Charles G. Dawes, former Vice President, might be considered for the Paris assignment rather than London, now that the for- mer is vacant. President Hoover has been anxious that Dawes accept that London job but the general’s decision is not known as yet. He is known in both London and Paris, but as most of his war time work was done in the French capital there might be reason for tendering him now either the Paris or London assignments. Ambassador Henry P. Fletcher at Rome also is considered as a possible selection for Paris. He made a deep impression on President Hoover dur- ing the Latin-American goodwill trip preceding Mr. Hoover’s inauguration. Pletcher is known to have desired at one time a transfer to either Paris or London if the opportunity came, but there have been indications that Mr. Hoover would prefer to use him in connection with plans for Latin- American rapprochement.

One other name for the Paris post came into the first speculation to fal- low on word of Mr. Merrick’s death, that of former Secretary Kellogg, now en route to Paris for a relaxation fol- lowing his release from duty at the State Department last week by Gecre- tary Stimson.

Herrick. In the turest sense of the word, Mr. Herrick was a diplomat of rare ability. He began his ambassadorship during the trying period which preceded the great war. After a lapse of seven years he was returned to the post and re- sumed his duties during the war and at the close of hostilities. Through all) that trying time he proved an adept in strengthening the :xlliance between France and America. He did much to — cordiality between the two na- ons. The epoch-making flight of Charles Lindbergh across the Atlartic gave Mr. Herrick another opportunity to prove his worth. Taking the young aviator into his home the ambassador advised him as to conduct best to follow. He protected him from unwelcome visit- ors, fathered him as though he were his own son, steered him clear from entangling alliances and was a mate- rial factor in the triumphal conclusion of the soul-stirring adventure. Despite his efforts to keep in the background—for Mr. Herrick. 4nately was a most modest and uassuming in- dividual—the ambassador was brought into the limelight with the young avi- ator; and Lindbergh was not at all backward in acknowledging the debt he owed to the experience and insight of his adviser. . Was of Humble Origin. Ambassador Herrick—like 50 many of Ohio’s famous sons—was another example of an American youth who began life amid humble eurroundings and rose to associate intimately with the most famous men of his time. He was born in Wellington, a little town not far from Oberlin, on October 9, 1854. As a boy. he worked on the farm and his education was obtained in the country schools and in Oberlin College. Next he attended Ohio Wes- lyan, from which he was graduated with honors. They were lean ag e worked the farm, and taught school and earned an education. Upon his arrival in Cleveland, Her- rick set himself to the study of law. He was determined to become an at- ‘torney and in 1878, after various studies and associations, he was ad- mitted to the bar. His career as a4 practitioner at the bar promised him a great future. Eight years devoted to legal practice gained him 4 rapid lead- ership among e younger lawyers and secured him recognition from the older members. Then, in 1886, he renounced the practice of law to become the sec- retary and treasurer of the Cleveland Society for Savings. Herrick displayed as marked an ability for finance as he had for law: He was largely responsible for the success of the new institution during its early years, and in more recent years was resident and chairman of its board. e was also a chairman of the board of bis attention to political affairs. In that year, he was elected to the Cleve- land city council, where he served for three years. A stalwart Republican, he gained the friendship of the late Mark Hanna and was looked upon as a factor to be considered. From 1888 to 1908 he attended each of the national Republi- can conventions as a delegate. He was presidential elector from Ohio in 1892, and later served as a member of the Republican State executive committee and the Republican national commit- tee. Entered Politics Untrammeled. Then came the most crucial event in his career, The Hanna-McKinley or- ganization tendered Mr. Herrick the nomination as governor of Ohio. Tom L. Johnson was staging one of his spec- tacular tent campaigns throughout the State in an effort to carry victory for the Democratic party. Always a busi- ness man rather than a politician and determined to carry out his plans as he conceived them to be best, Herrick ac- cepted the nomination with the un- derstanding that, if elected, he would enter upon his duties unhampered pledges or obligations. He was elected governor of Ohio by a plurality of 113,- 812, the largest vote for governor ever recorded in the history of the Buckeye State up to that time. Warren G. Harding, a promising young politician from down State, was elected lieuten- ant governor. Herrick’s administration was a marked success. He steered clear of politics, and by his independent methods he made many enemies. He was renomi- nated at the expiration of his term, but was defeated and returned to pri- vate life in 1905. Business affairs held hig interest until 1912, when he was appointed Ambassador to Fran for the first time. Five American universities honored Myron T. Herrick. Ohio Wesleyan, Western Reserve, Columbia, Princeton and Harvard conferred degrees upon him, and the University of Nancy, France, also made him doctor honoris Causa in 1921, He received the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor from France and he organized the American Relief Clear- ing House in Paris and the United States, with which his name was asso- ciated during the war.

When informed of his death, he expressed profound sorrow, and said: “No American understood my people better. I am exceedingly sorry.” Mr. Herrick, in talking to the Asso- ciated Press correspondent a few days ago as to whether he was likely to re- main here 4s ambasasdor, said: “I have no claims upon this post. I should be glad to stay if it should turn out that way, but I have nothing to ask. I should enjoy remaining until the debt agreement has been ratified and until a good beginning has been made upon the new United States Building to be erected in Paris.” Became Reminiscent, The ambasasdor became reminiscent and talked rather freely about matters to which he attached the most im- portance during his sojourn in Paris as ambassador. “I don’t’ know 1 hether you remem- ber,” he said, “what I did in regard to farm credits. That was during my first term, I became interested in our farm- ers having greater facilities for borrow- ing. I made a study of farm credit systems in France, and particularly in Germany, where they are highly de- veloped. I made a report to the State Department which came to the atten- tion of bankers and officials of farm- ers’ societies. Then I wrote a book u nels. He learned early that if a ques- tion was once put down in an icial document it passed from bureau to bureau, accumulating controversial elée- ments, so that every stage h red solution instead of assisting it. For instance, some months ago, an extreme measure fof control of importa of oi! to France was brought forward by the late Minister of Commerce Bokanowskl. The American Ambassador wrote a private letter to Premier Poincare, marking it “unofficial and personal,” setting forth his views. Mr. Herrick said thet “as one lawyer to another” he “wanted the premier as a lawyer to give his opinion on the facts as pre- sented.” The premier immediately took a personal interest in the subject and modified the proposed legislation to an extent acceptable to Americans. Received Many Requests. Mr. Herrick received, as do all am- bassadors, many requests from his countrymen to do things for them with the French government. He never pro- tected himself behind the instructions of the State Department or by invoking the regulations of the department. What he usually replied was: “Instead of my asking the foreign office to do what you desire, I think I can show you a better method. Let me give you a letter of introduction to ‘so-and-so.’ He will, I think, be able to suggest how you may obtein what you want without making this an affair between gov- ernments.” The ambassador would then by a private note or telephone message set pon it. influences at work which would serve “I really think that up to that time—/| the American enterprise without come sixteen or eighteen years ago—our/| Pplicating diplomatic procedure. people had 10t gone into the question| Mrs. Parmely Herrick desires to learn of farm loans very deeply, excepting the the wishes of her husband before mak- old-fashioned mortgages.” ing any arrangements for the funeral Mr. Herrick a few minutes later went|f his father, Although the French on, “then there was my remaining in government has not yet made known Paris at the beginning of the war when | W4t honors will be paid, it is certain the French government moved to Bor- that the grateful nation will wish to deaux.

Herrick, who died here today, always showed finesse in greeting in the name of the United States the many distinguished visitors who came his way. On May 21, 1927, he took under his charge a shy, young American, who had bridged the Atlantic in a single airplane flight. By his protection and almost fatherly guidance of the young man, who left Long Island almost unknown and landed here as the hero of the world, Ambassador Herrick was generally credited with assisting Col. Charles A. Lindbergh to that place in the hearts of the peoples of all nations that he has since held.

Easter Monday is the big day on the calendar at the Zoo. It is so big that special regulations are in order at the park to protect the thousands of Wash- ington residents and their out-of-town guests who come to see the animals. However, seeing the animals is not the main object of most of those who trek through the Connecticut avenue, Harvara street and Rock Creek Park en- trances of the park. The real aim is to have a beautiful place in which to hold the first picnic of the summer sea- son. With favorable weather, the crowds at the Zoo will reach a total of 70,000, according to Dr. William M. Mann, di- rector. So great-fias been the crush and jam in other\years @hat recently Zoo officials have adopted the policy of closing the gates and doors to all the houses in the Zoo, leaving only the ani- mals in the open air cages ready for in- spection by the visitors. This action was taken because at one time in one of the crowded houses at the Zoo some one shouted, starting a stampede which resulted in injuries to several persons.

Automobiles from almost every State in the Union could be seen; buses hauled boys and tirls from point to point as these students took advantage of a school holiday to get a history and civics lesson at first hand. Street cars carried. others, while sidewalks were jammed with pedestrians stroll- ing about to see what others saw and see what others wore. Several hundred visitors in the city gathered at Friends Meeting House, Thirteenth and Irving streets north- west, near noon to see the President and Mrs. Hoover attend church services, In contrast to the splendor of the rit- uals at many of the religiious edifices of the Capital, the services at the church where the Hoovers worshiped was simple indeed. August urray, of Palo Alto, President Hoover's Cali- fornia home, preached the ser and a few hymns were sung, with only a piano as the accompaniment. After the services the President and the First Lady went back to the White House. An automobile ride, a regular feature of the Sabbath, was taken in the afternoon, while Mr. Hoover rested last night. Members of the Cabinet followed almost the same procedure, | | | | with attendance at church in the morn- ing and rest marking the remainder of the day. The President’s Easter was marred by news of the death of Ambassador Myron T. Herrick in Paris. Mr. Hoover immediately telegraphed to the ambas- sador’s son in Cleveland, expressing the sympathy of Mrs, Hooover and himself. Curtis at Easter Breakfast. Easter flowers from many in official life of the Capital filled the White House, while the conservatories of the Executive Mansion furnished additional blossoms to decorate the home of the President, The Franciscan Monastery, St, Pat- rick’s Church, St. Matthew’s Church and the Shrine of the Sacred Heart, of the Catholic churches, offered special masses at which thousands worshiped. A united Easter service was held by the Salvation Army in.the Georgetown branch, Jefferson near M street, at which Staff Capt. James. Asher, in charge of the Army for the District of Columbia, presided. One of the outstanding social events of the day was an Easter breakfast, attended by a number of prominent Washingtonians, including Vice Presi- dent Curtis and his sister, Mrs. Edward H.

SOME MUST SELL BOOKS New York, March 31 (N.Y.WNS.)— The teacher who smokes cigarettes will not be granted a certificate in the State of Tennesee; the dancing school- ma’am will not be tolerated in some parts of Mississippi; while in other regions of the country the school board is the fashion dictator for its teachers and failure to read the Bible in school is a statutory cause for dismissal, Finally, if the distracted woman teacher marries, this is “an agreed ground for termination of the contract” in many States. These are only a few of the restric- tions on American schoolteachers re- vealed in a survey of teachers’ contracts and State and local rules in approxi- mately 500 school systems in 46 States. The survey issued today was made by Dr. Earl William Anderson, working under Dr. N. L. Engelhardt, professor of education at Teachers College, Co- lum bus. Dr. Anderson examined contracts signed by teachers and superintendents in more than 400 communities, regu- lations of boards of education rules of State educational agencies and laws by State legislatures. Conditions in cities of all sizes, beginning with a popule- tion of 2,500, and from all States ex- cept Nevada and Wyoming, are rep- resented in the report. Included in the findings are regula- tions which make the famous anti- evolution law seem tame. It is re- vealed that the restrictions on public school officials over the Nation are 80 many and so varied and detailed that it is practically impossible to define the exact status of a modern school teacher. In one community a teacher's restrictions may be very Jight, but on moving to another community this same teacher may be obliged to do everything from selling school texts to cooperate with every agency that conscientiously strives to better the community.” Advocates State Regulation. To relieve the hodge-podge condition, Dr. Anderson advocates “State regula- tions of all situations which do not have distinct local significance.” He commends New York State as far ahead in establishment of minimum profes- sional standards and ethical require- ments. New York, he adds, is one of the leaders in the State control move- ment which he reports is on the in- crease. The local white light district is ex- pressly warned against in the contract of the New Albany, Miss., schools, thus: “No teacher will play society to the detriment of the schoo] or indulge in any sort of socials excessively during school nights, the superintendent and school board to be the judges of these matters and to warn teachers.” At Columbus City, Nebr., elementary teachers agree “to pursue a course in the method of business until such time as a teacher's certificate in fthis method may be secured.’ Various communities provide for the teachers’ assistance in the dale of text- books to pupils, while thoge in Beau- mont, Tex. must agree to purchase and read at least one educational book dur- ing the year. In other communities. the teacher is required to visit the home of every pupil at least once. Marriage Ends Contract. Contracts from eighteen States give marriage of women teachers as an agreed ground of termination of the contract, and of the cities under 20,000 one-fourth reported that a contract could be voided if a woman teacher marries during the year. The Tennessee statute expressly says: “Under no circumstances shall certifi- cates be granted to persons addicted to the use of intoxicants, opiates or ciga- rettes.” Among the various causes list- ed for dismissal in different parts of the country are “treasonable or seditious acts or words, failure to teach effects of alcohol and narcotics, failure to at- tend teachers’ institute, the wearing of religious garb while teaching.” Dr. Anderson reports that the status of the New York City teacher is well defined and carefully adjusted, making for consistent advancement yearly without the imposition of undue re- strictions. He adds, however, that the status of the teacher in Chicago is at the other extreme. The cause, he reveals, is that Illinois provides only a few.minimum requlire- ments and leaves such arbitrary mat- ters as salary, marriage of women teachers and tenure to be adjusted by the local school board.

Rhone Maizongliien 1068 | ene = ee tn ae ee ee ee oe IN THE PLAY HOUSE By JOHN Without benefit of a. known pro- ducer, Patrick Kearney’s dramatization of Theodore Dreiser’s much talked of novel, “An American Tragedy,” wan- dered about on the boards of the Belasco last night, and wandered, and wandered, and wandered, whilst an audience and a few play reviewers wondered. One exceedingly keen observer, an elderly and kindly disposed lady, opined that “this, evidentally, must be a New York cast,” whereas the truth is “this was the original Baltimore cast,” ag the lady sitting beside me pointed out. She had heard the story of how this gallant band of troupers, called together for the occasion, nad started “An American Tragedy” on its way in Baltimore, at the Auditorium Theater down on Howard street; how the gendarmes of the Monumental City had beerf invited by an irate citizen —spurred on by a press agent-—to witness this damnable bit of drama- turgy and then throw the works into the hoosegow; how such sensational stuff had led into stampedes at the boxoffice and how, heaven only knows, “An American Tragedy” ran full six weeks in the Monumenta] City. This was only recently, of course, and after the ori 1 New York cast had disbanded after a short run on Broadway. The play received serious reviews there, and deservedly so. The literary world, by this time, is fully aware of the momentousness of Mr. Dreiser’s novel. Made into a play it comes in episodic form, depicting the sad, sad story of a youth who loved not wisely nor even well. Nephew of a collar king the boy is be- friended by his uncle and given a place in the factory to supervise a battallion of girls. Because the uncle’s family gives their cousin the “Go-Go” sign, as the saying has it, he falls for one of the lower classes—and then, after doing the girl dirt, alsd as the baying has it, finds a real society catch in his net. Obviously, the boy has to get rid of the factory girl—and the easiest way he finds in a row boat and a lake. There is a note on the program which reads: “A great moral lesson is taught in this play, and though some of the language used may seem rather broad to you the story was written from actual scenes in life. Kindly view it accordingly.” Naturally having read that. the sportive attendant at the Washington miere looked for the great moral lesson—and it was found in’this wise: In the earlier scenes of the play, one of the boy's fellow work- ers at the factory offered to produce two young ladies of somewhat shady reputations; good sports, withal, who wanted nothing more nor less than 4 time. The searcher after truth and the moral, at last night’s perform- ance, saith: “The moral is, the boy should have taken the first offer.” Certainly he would have been saved a lot of trouble, a trial for murder, a verdict of guilty, and a lonely march to the electric chair, Granted that such a sordid story as this ‘has any place on the boards, it deserves at least better treatment. As presented here, “An American Tragedy” is a theatrical one as well—and the least said about it the better. | POLI’S | “Good News,” that sprightly musical com which opened at Poli’s last night, is a play based on college life so nothing need be said about the plot. Some day a daring iconoclast will write a college play which is not based upon the struggles of the hero to win the big game of the season “for good old (Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Siwash, St. Fligabeths—take your choice)”. But, if J. DALY- such a piece; were written it woukl be necessary to find a producer who had been to college, so probably it will never be s . However, as hinted heretofore; “Good News” is a musical —2 80 io plot is unimportant, and, perhaps that reason, it is a very good musical comedy. The large house which graced Poli’s last night, celebrating the end of the Lenten season, greeted the piece enthusiastically and when a musical comedy has oom an audience it is & good musica all of the aims of its — destiny. Tuneful music, clever lines, sprightly dances, liberally ed with equal parts of shapely right and left legs (f.) are the ingredients from which success- ful musical comedies are co ; “Good News” has all 1 Hoary and they are skillfully put together. First honors should, by all odds, be awarded to Dorothy Daw, a Washing- ton girl, and William Sully. The fore mer is cast in the role of the college flapper about whom the elder genera- tion are expending such large quanti- ties of needless worry, since she is far better equipped to take care of her- self than are the oldsters. The part fits Miss Daw to perfection. Sully is the traditional substitute who gets an unexpected chance to play in the “big game” and, of course, wins it. Be it said for the suthors, however, that they have had the daring to portray this character in a comedy role in- stead of the hitherto inevitable serious young man trying t . Miss Daw and Mr. Sully in some of the cleverest bits of eccentric danc- ing exhibited hereabouts in several silver moons, Don Lanning, in the part of the cap- tain of the football team; Evelyn Kind- ler, ag the college belle, who, of course, is engaged to the captain, but doesn’t marry him, and Dorothy Fits-Gibbon, as the belle’s poor-relation cousin, who eventually wins the captain, handled their opportunities to the queen’s— and the audiences’—taste. The Fitz- Gibbon young lady, incidentally, has a charm coupled with beauty and grace which should carry her far in the di- rection of white lights in the major theatrical constellations. John Philbrick. as “Pooch” Kearney, the trainer, turned in a capable bit of character acting, as did Maurice Darcy, the professor, who refused to flunk the football captain on the eve of the big game; Anthony Hughes, as the coach; Edwin Michaels, as the. inevitable freshman, and John Grant as “Beef” Saunders, a football player of the pre- forward pass type. Moreover the coeds were pretty and even some of the chorus men looked as though they had been in college, or at. least, could get in. Needless to say the last-named feature is heretical, but it didn’t hurt the play.

A STORM FROM THE WEST. The Governors of Colorado, Wyoming and Utah are to enter a vigorous protest against President Hoover’s order putting an end to oil exploration on the public domain. The Governors of Montana and Idaho are expected to join in the pro- test. At a hearing in Denver, at which two of the governors presided, witnesses described Mr. Hoover’s decree as “the act of a Mussolini, who, finding himself not in harmony with the legislative branch of the Government, can, with the stroke of a pen, eliminate legislation which may appear to him to be objec- tionable.” Others asserted that his order was a “bold and arbitrary usurpa- tion of the powers of the legislative arm of the Government.” Gov. Dern of Utah | ~stated that more than $5,000,000 ex- * — ade ee eo * X J J —— - F pr: — Sh, 14 : * a ey : * > be, ht * * * pended in oil exploration work in his State has been wiped out by the Hoover order. It was the opinion of these West- ern critics that Mr. Hoover had acted in ignorance of the real needs and the real situation in the West, and Gov. Emmer- son of Wyoming made sarcastic comment | upon the. fact that he had campaigned for Mr. Hoover on the ground that he bélonged to the West and knew the West, only to find that “almost his first official ‘act is a direct slap at the West and one of its basic industries.” ‘The “basic industry” referred to is evidently the exploitation of the Govern- ment’s oil supply for the profit of certain States. Mr. Hoover is determined to put a stop to this exploitation. His order is held by the Western exploiters to be a ‘nullification of the leasing law, but they will have great difficulty in proving this assertion. The leasing law authorizes the issuance of permits and leases, but it does not direct the Secretary of the In- terior to make them. - Senator Walsh, of Montana, has suggested that when a law provides that a department head “may” do a certain thing it should be construed to mean that he “shall” do it. These Western politicians are bent upon forcing the United States to drain its oil from the public lands, for the sake of diverting revenue to certain States, regardless of the danger ef overproduc- tion of oil, and regardless of the need _ -of conserving oil for the national defense. 8* a... * * a 5-3 5 * Bs * * Oe: a na = H ~ #3 a 4 ow a" 3 — a3," hg 4 3 — J * Cs wa ‘ : x 3 — oF - } * J — Mm oe * — ay «¥ * 3 # — ; > Kae * a | They seem to think they have found an issue that will appeal to popular senti- ment in their States and thus give them ‘political advantages at Mr. Hoover’s ex- pense. The country will watch the develop- ment of this fight with the keenest in- terest. When the time comes for these politicians and their allies in Congress to demand an amendment of the law which would compel the President to squander the Nation’s oil reserves it will be found that Mr. Hoover is not alone, but on the contrary is backed by the entire country. Even in the States which are said to be violently opposed to his order there is a strong element that refuses to be de- ceived by the politicians in temporary control of the political machines of those States. These politicians are going up a losing fight when they attack head of the Government because he is conserving the Government’s property. | will not only lose their fight, but | will lose their jobs if they persist, for, nothing is more certain than the prompt appearance of strong rivals who | line themselves with President Hoover and the prevailing sentiment of 4 try.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. North Pole Submarines. To the Editor of The Post-—Sir: Capt. Sir George Hubert Wilkins, Arctic ex- plorer, plans to explore the sea be- neath and surrounding the North Pole in @ submarine. The craft is being prepared now in a Connecticut ship- yard, and the venture will be got un- der way this summer or next. New types of equipment, many of them un- tried, will be carried to make possible emergence of the submarine from be- neath ice foes and to guard against accidents. Capt. Wilkins thinks the venture will be safer than an airplane flight across the pole. Those who are content to let others do their adventuring will see no ex- cuse for such a trip. Capt. Wilkins says that it is necessary in the inter- est of the advancement of science— that there is need“ of a more com- prehensive study of ocean depths above the Arctic Circle, an investiga- tion of ocean currents, their direction, force and temperature, a study of con- ditions and drift of the ice and of the contour of the ocean bed. The ques- tion may properly be asked as to how a scientist imprisoned in a steel vessel submerged beneath the surface of the sea can hope to study currents, con- tour or ice drift? Will he be able to make better or more extensive surveys from the interior of a submarine than he could make from camps established on the ice? A voyage to and acrogs the North Pole in a submarine is in the Aature of a stunt. It can no more be justified than the several transatlantic flight ventures, in obviously inadequate ma- chines, each of which ended in tragic failure. If Capt. Wilkins is a scientist rather than an adventurer he will not embark on such a foolhardy trip. W. A. DONALDSON. Says Prohibition Stops Wars. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: Your correspondent, under nom de plume of Henda Burke, heaps sarcasm and levity upon prohibition. That is the way of wringing wets. Sooner or later they come to realize that there are no valid arguments against prohibition and they take recourse in sarcasm and levity. When they teach that stage they indirectly admit that their cause is lost. These people make the charge that by depriving diplomats of liquor the Government would precipitate war. Tommyrot! Every nation that partici- pated in the last war was a drinking nation. Of them all, the United States alone espoused the cause of prohibi- tion, and look at its position today in comparison with that of the others. It is generally the sot who seeks a fight. It is the drinking nation that can not keep peace. The United States, because its people have adopted the blessing of total abstinence, will never have another war, and by forcing pro- hibition on other nations it will speed the attainment of world peace. Incidentally, what a lot of pother the newspapers are making over the case of several congressmen who, it is alleged, imported or attempted to im- port liquors. These congressmen are all drys; they have proved that they are friends of prohibition by their votes upon the many liquor control measures that have been in Congress. Is it reasonable to suppose that they would break the laws for which they voted? If they did bring in, or try to bring in, rum, it could only have been to test the efficiency with which cus- toms agents are enforcing the prohibi- tion laws. E PLURIBUS UNUM. Timing of Signal Lights, To the Editor of The Post—Sir: Dis- trict traffic officials are studying a plan to affix beneath each traffic signal a sign specifying the speed that an au- tomobile must travel to avoid stopping at the next signal light. The plan is designed to bring about a more even flow of traffic, and appears to be full By ROBERT QUILLEN “W HEN the wolf comes in at the door,” said the ancients, “love goes out the window’’—which isn’t true at all, unless the love is nothing more than a fondness for soft living. But it is true that love ends when two people desire the same dollar. The greatest enemy of love is the love of money. Men of large spirit may be friends\although competitors in business, ‘but only the rarest of men can do business with one another and remain friends or develop friendship. You hear a man boast that his customers are his friends, and you hear others say that a business built on friendship has the best of foundations; but these are thinking of good will—not of true friendship. | True friendship—which many people never know because they have no capacity for it—is an abiding love, and love is the spirit of unsel- fishness. The getting of money is a business selfish in origin, in purpose and in practice. To say that friendship and money-getting can exist together is to say that unselfishness and selfishness can exist together. The desire and mission and joy of friendship is to serve—to give. The desire of money is to get—to take. The two can not be reconciled. Friends who would keep one another should avoid money dealings as they would a plague. When a friend driven by desperation goes to another to borrow money, he may repay it and preserve the friendship entire; but if he does not repay it, the other says friendship. to his soul:« “He capitalized our He sacrificed my respect to get a little money. How little he valued our friendship if he could sell it for a sum so small.” And even if the money is repaid, the one who lends feels that friend- ship has been soiled by serving. as collateral for a loan; and, what is worse, can not again feel secure in friendship because of his lively dread of future borrowings. To borrow from a friend is to place friendship in pawn. / And to do business with a friend, so that the profit hoped for must be obtained at the friend’s expense, is to sacrifice love on the altar of greed. Those who love—whether man and man or man and wife or brother keep love alive, and sister—must avoid the least competition for money if they would. (Copyright, 1929.) of possibilities. It has already been found a success in Detroit. One of the foremost problems traf- fic officials in Washington have to face ig that of congestion when thousands of Government clerks and business men are driving to the business dis- trict just before 9 a. m. and again in the afternoon when Government work- ers are released for the day. If a steady flow of traffic could be secured during these periods, the possibility of accident and the waste of time caused by delays should be greatly diminished. Any plan which has the possibility of relieving this situation is worthy of careful consideration by the traffic di- rector. Under present conditions there is no way of knowing how long before the light one is approaching will change, and the condition is aggravated by the long and short blocks in many parts of the city. A driver naturally wishes to avoid stopping if he can and there- fore speeds to get across the intersec- tion before the signals change. This situation tends to make traffic move in spurts and sudden stops, which is dangerous and costly in wear and tear on streets and vehicles. District officials have indicated that before they decide to try the plan here a new study of the timing of lights will be made to more accurately meet the needs of traffic in the controlled dis- tricts. The success of the light signal system depends largely upon the skill with which the signals are timed. If too slow, traffic will be sluggish and congested. If the changes are made too rapidly, motorists are tempted to violate the speed laws and the traffic moves in jerks. The ideal is to keep traffic moving at the maximum speed which can be safely traveled in each district, with as few stops as possible. If the lights were timed so that they would allow motorists to proceed at a reasonable pace with little or no inter- ruption, and drivers were informed as to what they must maintain to WOMEN TO RULE? Disquieting news for men is coming out of Chicago, that source of so much that is disturbing and exciting in the modern American scene, observes the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Not con- tent with its bumper crop of unterri- fied gangsters who so frequently enliven the mid-Western metropolis with pitched battles in the streets, the Win- dy City has now produced a statistician who has figured out that by the year 2035, just a little more than 100 years from now, all the wealth of the coun- try will be in feminine hands. This, certainly, is not a “consumma- tion devoutly to be wished,” not, at least by that part of the population which is convinced that “a woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke.” It conjures up unpleasant pictures from the deep arid buried past, visions of that ancient time when women were the tribal lords and men more or less necessary evils, useful as consorts and for certain types of house work but nothing much more. There is no getting round the fact that in our civilization, such as it is, the person who holds the purse-strings is boss, and whether they know it or not women in the United States are rapidly acquiring control of the coin of the realm. They control 41 per cent of it now, according to a survey made by Chicago investment bankers, and are gaining a larger and larger share an- nually. Once they have got the upper hand financially there will be no limit to their activity. Born imperialists, they will rule the roost with a vengeance, in a manner compared to which the fron rule of the czars will appear as gentle as the cooing of a dove. They will vote their kind into the legislatures and into the governers’ chairs, into Congress and the Presidency. They will make the laws, upset customs and disrupt things generally, even putting an end to the quaint masculine pastime of dropping ashes all over the floor. When that time comes, if we are still here we shall quietly be shoved off to some peaceful South Sea isle, take our ease in the shade of cooling: palm trees and, dropping all the Only Friend. ~ Congress to cut the income tax, and it would be just like Florida to petition Congress to increase the rate. — — — 7—— Sd , Too Bad. —— Pineville Sun: The writer of the song, “I Faw Down Go Boom,” has just been run over by an automobile, It is feared that his injuries are not serious.

HERSEY i (Copyright Protected. Reproduction.in Whole or in Part Prohibited.) i } CHAPTER II. Alice Visits the Circus. | In the second chapter Alice — the circus and pretends to meet with an accident, thus gaining ac- cess to the living quarters of the fakirs. During the night she over- hears a conversation convincing her that she is on the trail of the ea napers. LICE. cudgeled her brains for a better scheme to get in with the circus people. Her plan was to hire a horse, go riding and fall from the saddle just as she was passing the circus tent. Arriving at Rixley, Alice walked out to the circus ground where she found the perfromance in full swing. She went in and sat down. She was wear- ing a large brooch of Japanese topaz, which are the nearest things to dia- monds in the world. She felt that it might help her to command attention A female bareback rider performing in the ring was down on the program as “Mile. Louise.” “Dick Rashileigh” was the next on the Dill and he was fol- lowed by a clown, “Senor Gosso.” Alice went outside. As she walked around toward the back of the tent her foot slipped and down she went into a dirty pool. Instantly she decided to take advantage of her unpleasant situation. She gave a piercing scream. The doorkeeper hurried to her side. “What's happened? Are you hurt?” he cried. “Why don’t you get up” “Oh! oh! oh!” groaned Alice, writh- ing and twisting on the ground. “Don't touch me! I’m injured internally. I can explain to a woman, but not to a man.’ The doorkeeper took the hint and hurried into the tent. In a moment he returned with a husky young fellow. Alice lay perfectly still—in her very best faint. Between them the two men carried her into the tent. “Why doesn't Miss Spencer come?” cried the younger man, impatiently. “She'll be dead, perhaps, if something hain’t done.” “She’s dressing,” was the reply. “She'll be here in a moment.” A woman about 30, with hard, coarse features came bustling in. She was Mlle. Louise of the ring. “Gee! look at her diamonds!” cried the doorkeeper. “I don’t know about leaving you with, all dat here alone, Miss Lou.” “What’s the matter with you? Do you take me for as big a thief as you?” snepped the woman. “Her diamonds are safe with me.” “I'll bet they'll be safe wit’ you, once yer get yer hands on them!” laughed the doorkeeper. “Will you two get out? If you don’t leave mé@ the poor thing is liable to die.” They went off then and Alice was left to the tender care of Miss Spencer, who saw to it that Alice was put to bed on a cot in her own canvas room. “You ought to have a doctor, you poor thing!” said Miss Spencer. “No! no!” replied Alice, faly tly. shall be all right soon. You have been so good to me. How about my diamond brooch, is it safe?” “Oh, yes. I'll look out for it. Your cléthes are about dry and you will soon be able to go.” Alice began tocry. “You are so good to me,” she blubbered. “I have almost a mind to—to——” “To what, me dear?” “To confide in you. Two days ago I ran away from my husband, and I know he will kill me if he finds me.” “Your situation is certainly a hard one. Why not stay here tonight with me? Your husband will never think of looking for you here.” And so Alice stayed in Miss Spencer's canvas room for the night. When supper time came Miss Spencer brought her a cup of tea. . Alice allowed she felt better, but claimed she was too weak to sit up. Miss Spencer came in later to dress for the act. “I’m afraid you Gan’t ex- pect much rest untii tne performance is over.” “I can rest without sleeping, so don’t trouble about me,” replied Alice. “What time is the show over?” “About eleven.” i “Then I will just lie here, amd enjoy the music.” Alice found no time to dojany de- tective work that evening, except in one point, and that one was important. Alice Scores a Point. At 10 o'clock Alice caught) the re- marks of some men on the oper side of the canvas partition. “Are you off again tonight, Dick?” asked one. “In all the rain?” “Sure thing,” was the reply. “Where's Tony?” “Dunno, Hain’t seen him ning. It’s a wonder the boss give him a call-down, the way all the while.” “Likely the boss knows his own busi- ness better than you do,” wag the re- tort, and the men passed on. | This conversation set Alice to think- ing. Was it possible that these two men could be the two Old Kimg Brady and Harry were to meet at the old sawmill?

Thousands Attend Moravian Services Salem Is Scene of the 163d Annual Easter Ceremony. Winston-Salem, N. C., March 31 (A.P.).—Thousands of persons who came from over a wide territory to witness the picturesque Moravian Eas- ter service gathered here today at sun- rise and heard Bishop Edward Rond- thaler, of the Southern Moravian Province, conduct the 163d successive ceremony in Salem. The annual commemoration of the resurrection started at 2 o’clock a. m., when units of the Moravian band began tours of the city, singing Easter carols. .Two hours later all the units gathered at the home church and about 350 . pieces interspersed the responsive litany with religious sym- phonies. Bishup Rondthaler, conducting his forty-second sunrise service, led the line of march to and from the grave- yard. Five hundred ushers guided the throng along its way. It was reported that visitors from as far away as Cali- fornia and Wisconsin were here for the ceremony. Celebration is a custom of the Moravians brought with them to this section in 1753 when they settled in Wachovia. The first service was held in 1766 in old Salem, now a part of Winston-Salem. Bishop Rondthaler has participated in the exercise for more than a half century. LEGAL RECORD SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1929. OURT OF APPEALS. Adjourned from day to day. No session. DISTRICT SUPREME COURT.

FULL DETAILS PREPARED Faced with serious conditions in the New York Stock Market and with a rumble of complaint throughout) the country, the Federal Reserve Board will open a clinic here today on hust- ness conditions in the United States. The sessions will last three days. While the meeting is pending there are hints from the Capitol that a flood of resolutions, with a possible legis- lative inquiry, may result as soon as Congress meets. The Federal Reserve Board will ‘meet with the governors of the twelve Fed- eral Reserve Banks. In effect, it is a congress of the financial branch of the Government. The clinic will study business conditions throughout the country and while doing so the search- light will be turned on the board it- self, with the inquiry whether or not it already has sufficient power to deal with such a situation as exists in the New York Stock Market, or whether it ought to go to Congress with the view of securing additional powers. The dangerous expedient of raising the rediscount rate still remains in the power of the board. That rate, spar- ingly used, already is up to 5 per cent. It could be raised to 6 per cent, with the effect of further tightening the call money situation. Such a course, how- ever, would tighten the market for all money, including that used in legiti- mate business as well as speculation. The question before the board is whether or not conditions in the coun- | try as a whole justify making money for legitimate business more difficult to obtain in order to render that for speculative purposes less easily attain- able. With the governors of the twelve member banks present, the situation in each Federal Reserve District will be spread before the board in detail. Each governor will be called upon to outline the situation as it affects credit and the health of business as a whole. A chart of stock market conditions in New York on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, while the board is meet- ing, will be shown. The suggestion made by Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia, that Charles E. Mitchell, president of the National City Bank, should be disciplined. will not be acted upon. With call money up to 15 per cent, there is an impres- sion among board members that his will serve as a deterrent and will re- sult in stopping the flow of 'specula-' . & Wall Street Briefs New York, March 31 (A.P.).—With demand for credit approaching the an- nual spring peak, Wall street is look- ing forward to another critical week. The April 1 turnover of funds will be heavy, with dividend and interest pay- ments estimated at $200,000,000. Prep- arations also are being made for the seasonal movement of funds from the East and the West to meet agricul- tural requirements for credit. Eastern banking interests are re- ported to have acquired a dominating stock interest.in the Advance-Rumely Co., following a series of conferences in Chicago last week. Prices paid for both common and preferred stocks, which have equal voting power, were not disclosed, but are reported to have been in excess of the current market. New municipal financing scheduled for the coming week totals $26,444,000, compared with $61,560,553 last week, but is about $1,000,000 above the weekly average for the year. Among issues to be offered are 81,160,000 McLennon County, Tex., bonds. An increase of 86 per cent in net profits, despite a reduction of nearly & per cent in sales, is reported by the American Writing Paper Co., Inc., Hol- yoke, Mass.

Paramount Famous Lasky Corpora- tion and subsidiaries report soncali- dated net profits for 1928 of #8,713,063, compared with $8,057,000 in 1927. Net for the last quarter was 2,737,000, against $2,107,000 in the corresponding 11927 period. Profit was equivalent to $4.22 a share after the recent three-for- one stock split-up and $12.67 a share on the old basis. The report discloses the corporation had outstanding at the end of the year $1,450,000 in call loans.

OIL OUTLOOK BRIGHTENS New York, March 31 (A.P.).—Business came through tne last week suffering almost negligibly from the money crisis in Wall street which sent the call- money rate to 20 per cent, and indus- trial operations were well maintained at the high levels of recent weeks. The steel industry continued its ex- traordinary buoyancy, with mill opera- J. tions showing even further accelera- tion where possible. Signs of a falling off in the demand for automotive steel appeared in places, but were than off- set by heavy orders for railway equip- ment. The price structure was strength- ened by an advance of 25 cents in iron ore and of 50 cents to $1 in Northern pig iron. This is the season of peak operations in the steel industry, and some cur- tailment of activity during the next few weeks would not be surprising, al- though mills generally have sufficient orders to keep them going at a high rate for some time. Uneasiness in Auto Trade. Reports that automobile dealers have large stocks on hand have caused some uneasiness in the automobile industry, but there have been no conclusive signs of a slackening of activity in this industry. The unsettlement on the stock mar- ket was refiected in business, chiefly: in commodity prices. Cotton sold off sharply for a time, which tended to slow up new business in textiles. Grains also sagged. While nonferrous metals held at their high prices, conditions quieted down considerably in copper after the recent weeks ot feverish buy- ing. Despite the fact that an increase in crude-oil production was again an- nounced, after two weeks of welcome declines, the outlook in the petroleum industry brightened considerably when the general committee of the American Petroleum Institute appointed to con- sider control of production agreed to ‘curtail crude output to the 1928 level in, both North and South America. | Gasoline Prices Unaffected. /While this action promised to bring a governmental investige on, that pros- pect caused little uneasiness in the in- dustry, as gasoline prices are not ex- to be affected . any extent, and President Hoover’s action in refusing to grant any further oj] leases is interpre- ted as placing the administration squarely against wasteful production. Freight car loadings for last week showed a substantial gain over the previous week and the like week of last year, and it is believed would have made an even better showing but for the floods in the South. The shippers’ regional advisory boards estimate that carload shipments of 29 principal com- modities in the second quarter will ex- ceed the like 1928 period by 714 per cent. Most large railways reported more satisfactory February operations than a year ago. Agricultural Outlook Improves. The agricultural outlook brightened with reports that serious weather dam- age over the winter wheat areas ap- peared less than originally estimated. Unfavorable weather, however, hindered cotton planting over considerable areas in the South. The conviction that ag- riculture is beginning to feel the ef- fects of high credit rates was voiced by Alexander Legge, president of the Inter- national Harvester Co., who said, re- garding the absorption of credit by the stock market: “This abnormal condi- tion, with resultant high interest rates, produces an adverse effect upon agri- culture, the country’s greatest industry, as well as upon other industrial and commercial undertakings.” R. G. Dun & Co. reported failures for the week totaling 512, a jump of 64 from the previous week, but 36 less than the total of the like week a year ago. LEGAL NOTICES PEELLE, OGILBY & LESH, Attorneys.

NEW FARM AID BILL WILL CREATE BOARD Leaders in Condrtde Expect Plan to Follow Suggestions in Hoover’s Speeches. es Spo Ure eee eae ae “at RELIEF FUND’S SIZE ISSUE (Associated Press.) With the time at hand for the Senate and House agriculture committees to begin drafting of the new farm relief bill, there remains little qoubt among leaders that the measwre will closely follow the broad principles laid down in the Republican platfarm and by President Hoover in his campaign speeches. Their conviction is that. the new bill will propose a Federal farm board, with powers broad enough to deal with all phases of the agricultural problems and to operate through ty coun- clils to be set up ‘for each crop in need of attention. A revolving fund of $300,000,000 or more woulfi be at the disposal of the board for use as loans to stabilization corporations, which would be set up on the récommenda- tions of commodity councejis, the pur- pose of which would be to regulate the surplus so as to maintain comparatively steady price levels on the domestic market. The main work of the. committees seems to be choosing among several proposals regarding the scope of the farm board's power. »Some desire that the board should be auth@rized to in- itiate action to remedy Situations it may foresee in any commodity with- out awaiting the call of the growers and marketing agencies far-aid. Awaiting of Appeals Urged. Others would have thé board act only upon appeal by the interests affected, when a crop shows evidence of price decline through an excessive surplus. The amount of the -revolving fund also is a matter yet ta be decided. Those who favor a fund in excess of $300,000,000 have t the money placed in the hands of the stabilization corporations ultimately would be lost, and some, including Sena Brookhart (Republican), Iowa, Have sought as much as $1,500,000,000. Katty others be- lieve that the smaller figure would be adequate, because the —3— cor- porations would buy up surpluses on a falling market and dispose of them gradually as the prices recovered. One other problem which the com- mittees must decide is whether there shall be specific authority to deal in some way with the problem of produc- tion. Many farm leaders contend that any attempt by the Government to cur- tail production would be! unconstitu- a tional, while many others believe that & program of education, coupled with a patriotic appeal to individual farmers, would go a long way to curb the plant- ing of a crop in which 4 surplus al- ready existed or was threatened.

She is fond of red hats when they match her suits. When her children are home from school they are often seen on the bridle paths of Rock Creek Park, riding with their mother, a piquant coinci- dence that the eldest daughter and Mrs. McCormick are often dressed alike in habits of brown coats and lighter breeches, with dark felt tri-corns. Although her costumes for regular wear are severe, Mrs. McCormick’s afternoon and evening gowns reach the height of femininity. Printed silks in gay colors, chiffons and velvets, often with their own matching coats, are her favorites for afternoon. One of the most becoming gowns which Mrs. McCormick has worn in the evening this spring is a flesh col- ored chiffon, embroidered in diamente, with a handkerchief scarf sewn solidly with the sparkling ornaments.

By JACK RIDER (Baseball Expert, Cincinnati Enquirer). RLANDO, Fla., March 31.—After four weeks of training, and with less than three weeks remaining before the opening of the chainpionship season, the prospects of the Cincinnati Reds have settled into team will be able to secure a first division berth, a height no a hope that the achieved during the past two seasons, in each of which the club finished in fiffh place. It looks now as if the team will take the field against the champion)Cardinals in the opening game on Apri 16, with almost the same line-up withiwhich it finished last fall, though there may be one or two possible exceptions. | More than half of the young players who were brought south with the club have 8 failed to make the grade and have been farmed out or released unconditionally. As the team leaves the training camp for the North, the pitching staff consists of eleven men, six of whom are veterans who will be expected to bear the brunt of the bat- tle. They are Lucas, Rixey, Kolp, Lu- que, May and Donohve. Of these Kolp and May have been doing the best work in the early exhibitions. The former was quite a stand-by last year, while Jakie May was out of the game most of the time through iliness and in- juries, but has reported’this spring in fine shape and seems to be in for a good year. Recruit Pitchers Have Shown Little of Sensational Nature. The recruit pitchers have shown lit- tle of a sensational nature so far with the exception of Silas Johnson, a 20- year-old right-hander from Rock Island, who was not scored on by the Yankees and Athletics in his first ten innings down here. Johnson appears to be a comer, and the’ other recruits most like- ly to stay are Ash, with Columbus last year, and Kemner, who did good work for New Haven in the Eastern League. They are both husky right-handers. Zahniser, a veteran from St. Paul, and Gudat, a young southpaw from Dayton, also have a chance. But it does not look now as {ff there has been any great improvement in the pitching staff. Val Picinich, the mainstay of the club behind the bat last year, has been a hold-out, but will report next week. The other catchers are Sukeforth, who has been third backstop for two years; McMullen, from Minneapolis, and Dix- on, from Baltimore. Just a fair catch- ing staff. . Kelly and Critz are sure of their positions on the right side of the dia- mond, but Manager Hendricks is still uncertain about the Sther two places. He may play Ford at $hort and Pitten- ger at third, or Dr n at third and Pittenger at short. The last named has been hitting very hard and looks to be sure of a pl in the regular line-up. He was infield utility man last year. ! Main Improvement Seems to Be in O The main improve if any, should be in th hard-hitting recruits Have been picked up—Swanson, from the Mission Club; Shaner, formerly with the Boston Red Sox, from Chattanooga, and Crabtree, a hard left-hand hitter from Oklahoma City. Swanson is not only a good hitter but a very fine base-rumner. He is the present choice for the ¢enter-field posi- tion. Crabtree hag beén troubled with @ lame arm and had little chance to show his worth in the early games, but is well liked. Shaner hits hard and can play first base as well as the outfield. Purdy, who led the team in hitting last year, seems sure of his place in left field, while Allen and Walker must battle with the best of the newcomers. The club also has Zitmann and Cal- laghan of last year’s team, but will carry only six outfieldefs, and it is not certain yet who will have to go. The team has played nine with American e Clubs in Florida and has won only. two of them. The Reds beat the Yankees handily in a single contest, but won only one out of five in a series mrt Maw Athletics, and dropped one to the Boston Red Sox and two to Washington. The hope of this club finishing in the first division lies in the possibility of beating out either the Pirates or the Cardinals, or both. A conservative critic can not give the teami much chance against the Giants and the Cubs. ; Club leld. nt in the club. outfield. Three Fight Patrons Less Insane; Explains Chicago } By WESTBROOK PEGLER. EW YORE, March 31.—The opening production at Mr. Paddy Harmon’s Chicago prize-fight stadium, one of the new superarenas built to out- garden the late Tex Rickard’s Garden, was something ‘1 the nature of a bust, although it drew about $175,000 worth of business. Jnder a sane scale of values, of course, $175,000 for a ten- round prize fight between two class leaders, Thomas an and Mickey Walker, supported by a series of other prize fights, would be a very fair re- turn. But sanity nas not been an out- standing trait of the prize-fight cus- tomer for several years. In fact, he is not exactly sane at the present writing. but merely a little bit less insane than he was during the latter stages of Mr. Rickard’s career. Mr. Rickard had what it took to unseat the reason of the cus- tomer, and as his influence wanes the — * decreases. At the present rate of convalescence the customer should become as normal as the customer can be in about two years, provided, of course, that nobody comes along in the meantime who can nwlay to his weak- ness as Mr. Rickard did and unbalance him again. ‘6 seems beyond Mr. Harmon’s pow- ers to exploit this weakness, and his task is more difficult because Mr. Rick- ard subjected the Cricago customers to It’s invisibly KUGEN? C. GOTT} . President. just one treatmet in entire career. The New York customer, on the other hand, was under constant treatment for about eight years anti consequently is much more goofy the Chicago and Middle Western tvpe of patron. Mr. Rickard was not gooa af absent treat- ments, but was very efféctive with lo- cal applications. When the New York customers were at the most violent stage the prize-fight promoters of Chi- cago mistakently decided that their patrons were equ:lly goofy over prize fighting, and they were very happy, in- deed, when the Illinois Legislature en- acted a law divorcing prize fighting froin its traditional legal affinity with the shell game nd the of safe blow- ing, although the spiritual affinity was left undisturbed. Chicago Fans Prove Less Gullible Than Estimated. Chicago promoters, Mr. Harmon, Mr. James (Moon) Mullen and Mr. Mike Malloy, all believed the Chicago custo- mer would buy $25 and $60 tickets for prize fights having a dramatic and sporting value of $3, as eagerly as the Ne ork customers did. They consti- tuted a fine clinical study in acute baMement when the Chicago customers worked themselves up to & placid calm over the first legalized prize fights held there after twenty years of illegal prize fighting, and patronized the bouts very abstemiously. The first year’s gross re- ceipts of all the promoters/in the State, as shown with more or ] accuracy by the report of the prize fight commis- sion, were considerably 1 than half as gréat as Mr. Rickard had drawn with & single production in his sphere of influence. This might be interpreted to mean that if the liqhor business were given legal sanction again in the State of Illinois, the citizens would drink no more than they do now. But -- *s hard to see how they could, and ive. sian of the Chicageé ‘omoters lies in their assv tion that the prize fighter drew the for Mr. Rickard. They did not perceive that Mr. Rickard was the attraption in his shows, just as the Rev. Wilf‘ar, Sunday used to be in his, and that, the sport- ing element was as negligible in the One as Christian plety had been in the other. 1 Sincerity ls No ‘Requisite to Success in Fight Game. - T am told that Mr. Harmon's arena cast $6,000,000. The ihterest- cn $6,000,000 is $360,000 and the ordinary Overhead expense probab! f will total $360,000 more. When the so-called big men of a community; put 86,000,000 into steel, mortar and gtone, they show more sincerity of purpose than Mr. Rickard ever felt, but sincerity happens not to be a requisite of suc- cess in the prize fightin industry. From this beginning, it appears that they have overbuilt and wilj be princi- pally engaged in keeping }down the losses, as the stated costs of the plant per year .will be about fo. times as much as the gross receipts 6n the first exhibition which was recOgnized as something su la and extra- stupendous and, since the fighters in the main event got 55 per cent of these gross receipts, the work of keeping down the losses probably begins at the beginning. That is comforting, as it is never too early to begin keeping down the losses. Mr. Humbert Fugazy, of New York, has a much better plan of operation. He has bullt a whole chain of supercolossal arenas here at a total cost of about .880,000,000, but inasmuch as all the nas were purely theoretical, so was the $80, cost.

Giants Score 7 Times in the 9th to Beat | White Sox, 9-2. ENSACOLA, Fla., March 31 (N.Y.W. N.S.).—The New York Yarks made a sharp change in their baseball habits today. Smarting under the dis- gtace of a beating by a Class B team in Jacksonville, possibly, but more probably because their manager did some harsh talking to his pitchers, the champs went back to their champion- ship customs. They pattered the ball hither and yon for the screaming satis- faction of some 4,000 Pensacolans, and they did everything neatly afield. The | score was 12 to 2. Which indicates that Master Huggins’ talk to his pitchers had tz results. George Pipgras buzzed over his smoke for five innings and allowed but two hits and not a sign of a run. Tom Zachary took his aged south wing out of the camphor balls in the sixth and went the rest of the way. He allowed two hits up to the ninth. Then he eased up because he had attempted to make a home run in a batting rally for his side ‘n the first nalf of the ninth, and his wind was gone. He was clipped for a single by one Pensacolan and a homer by another, and the glory of a shut-out victory was gee ensacola, — R. H.

The final score was 9 to 2. The Giants made one run in the sixth and another in the seventh and the White Sox tied them, 2 to 2, in their half of the seventh.

Infected Leg Sends Morris to Hospital Walter Morris, third baseman of the Georgetown University Nine and for- mer athletic star at St. John’s Prep School, of this city, was removed from his home to Emergency Hospital late yesterday to undergo treatment for an infection of his right leg. Two weeks ago Morris developed blis- ters on his right foot while practicing with the Georgetown Team, and despite immediate treatment the all- ment persisted and brought on an in- fection which yesterday developed serious proportions, spreading through the leg above the knee. He was taken to the hospital in order that his trouble could be more easily arrested and closely watched. Morris may be confined for two weeks during which time his position on the Hilltop Team will be filled by Ed Leary. Dave Shade Popular With Peru Fight Fans Buenos Aires, March 31 (U.P.).— Dave Shade’s victory over K. O. Bris- sett, Peruvian champion, in a 12-round bout here last night has won the Cali- fornia middleweight a host of admirers among South American ring fans. South American boxing critics char- acterized last night’s match as “the hardest fight ever seen in Buenos Aires.* Shade won eight of the twelve rounds. Shade’s ring experience and ability to duck Brissett’s hardest punches enabled the blonde Cali- fornian to pile up a big advantege on points. There were no knockdowns al- though Brissett almost floored Shade with a right to the jaw near the end of the third round. Shade plans to appear in another bout here before returning to the United States. Monaco Netmen Score In Davis Cup Matches Monte Carlo, March 31 (U.P.).—The first round European zone Davis Cup matches between Monaco and Switzer- land came to an end today when the Swiss star, Louls Aeschiliman, beat Vladimir Landau, 6—2, 6—1, 6—2.

COLLINS EW YORK, March 21 (N.Y.W.NS.). Although they are notoriously unable to deliver them, the ex- perts are already trying to hanc out the big league pennants.

Although Pennoek and Moore are still doubtful quantities and the team will start the race with a experimental infield the Yanks are quite generally considered the class of the league. * In some quarters tnere ha. been & suspicion that Bucky Harms and the Detroit Tigers will have something to say about the pennant before the polls close in October.

General Manager Edward Burke, of the Harford Agritultural and Breeders Association, announces that April 6 is the day nominations must bes made for the four stakes that will have an added money value of $10,000 each, gross about 315,000 each and pay their wimners about $10,000 each, to be revived here in the course of the last fortnight of April. These stakes are the Harford handicap, 3-year;olds and over, 6 furlongs, to be run April 15; Philadelphia handicap, 3-year-olds and over, one mile and a sixteerth, April 20: Aberdeen, 2-year-olds, 4% furlongs, April 24, and Chesapeake, 3-year-olds, one mile and a sixteenth, April 27. The Harford will be the salutatory feature, the Chesapeake the valedictory.

Philadelphia winners have been Ten Point, Slumber II, Pennantt. Hauberk, Billy Kelly, Boniface. Exterminator, Spotcash Leopardess, Edistc, Singlefoot and Canter. Capable and famous horses its sev- been eral revivals since 1918 have Billy Kelly, Star Voter, Paul Jones, Flintstone, New Hampshire, Spotcash, Canter, Scapa Flow, &c. The Aberdeen, most generously en- dowed of Maryland spring annuals for 2-year-olds, has afforded opportunities for the exploitation of the talents of George Smith, which afterward won a Kentucky Derby and a Bow*e; the iron Tippity Witchet; Ormonda, the mother of Osmand; Paul Jones, a destined Kentucky Derby and Suburban Handi- cap winner; Careful, one of the fastest and gamest mares of her time; Rock lend spring racing in 1925, also, Single- foot, Club Steak, Rose Eternal and Click. Weather Forecasts Larger Field for Chesapeake. For years Chesapeake revivals’ have served as tests of the merits and con- ditions of Preakness and Kentucky Derby candidates. Until ast year ‘t had an earlier date on the Harford calendar. Its running was pushed on to getaway day to enable more horse- men to get more good colts and fillies ready for it in bad seasons. © The impending revival,- very likely, will bri to the post a ‘bigger and better field than any of the past has drawn because of the extraordinary mildness of this year’s March Save for a storm or so the weather has been like May or early June. Of thts good weather Eastern horsemen have taken full advantage. If the weather is as good through the last fortnight of April nobody will have a kick: Winners of Chesapeake Include Outstanding Colts of Time. Paul Jones, unexpectedly beaten in the Chesapeake inaugural by ,Sandy Beal, went out to Louisville and de- feated Upset, On Watch, Cleopatra and upward of a dozen other brisk 3-year- olds in the Kentucky Derby; of 1920. Wildair finished third. Carefj:] licked Star Voter and Nancy Lee in 1921; Bunting trimmed Lucky Hour in 1922; Barbury Bush and The Clown bowed to Wilderness in 1923. : Winners since that year have been Nautical, Sweeping Away, Hockman, Whiskery and Bobashela. Whiskery won the 53d Kentucky Derby after licking Sir Harry, a Coffroth Handicap winner, and Triton in his Chesapeake. Canter and Display, the last pamed a destined Preakness victor, followed Rockman home. Rockman went out for the 52d Kentucky Derby, but couldn’t keep step with Bubbiing Over and Baggenbaggage. Heavy nominations are expécted for these various stakes, particularly for the Chesapeake and the Aberdeen. There are plenty of horses cf class of mature years about, but morr good 3- year-olds and promising 2-year-olds than racing has had in yerurs. The nomination fee in each will be 625, the: starting fee $100. The Havre _ Grace meeting, which will follow e April session of the Southern Maryland Agri- cultural Association at Prince Georges Park, Bowle, will be marked by a daily distribution of $11,000. It will run twelve days. The last of Maryland's spring meetings for the current sea- son will begin at Pimlico April 29 under the auspices of the Meryland Jockey Club, to run thirteen days. | TAKOMA TIGERS BUSY.

Here are a few extra specials worth tabbing: AUCILLA, AVERSION, WATKINSON, SPORTING T, DRAWING BOARD, TUTTI FRUTTI PLEASES AT BOWIE Starter Milton Sees Future for Chilean 5-Year-Old. HE Chilean horse, Tutti Frutti, the veteran starter James Milton predicts, will make good in Mary- land this spring. Milton saw Tutti Frutti in action at Havana before En- rique Guiterrez ordered him to Miam!. He won at Oriental Park in January. covering a mile and a sixteenth in 1:43 3-5, the first mile in 1:37 and a fraction, licking Jack Beiner (formerly Skavar) and some others that passed in Cuba for handicap horses. “This horse,” said Milton yesterday, “looks like he will beat sprinters at 6 furlongs and stayers at mile and & quarter. His action is smooth and he is well turned. I am not predicting that he will win either the Inaugural or the Prince Georges Spring Handicap at Bowie, but his opponents in those races won't beat him if they loaf.” Tutti Frutti has pleased the trainers at Bowie. They haven't observed that he is extravagant with his speed, but all are convinced that he will show plenty of that essential commodity when he turns on. Milton Sees Future fox Viscose, . A 1928 Maryland Winner. Another Havana campaigner Milton thinks worth keeping in mind Just now is Viscose. Viscose, a son of Lucky Hour and Vansylvania, came to Mary- land last fall a maiden and broke into the winners’ class at Laurel by defeat- ing Danger Signal and eleven other platers in a claiming race of one mile and a sixteenth. He bore the silks of W. E. Caskey, jr. After a second vic- tory J. E. Smaliman took him and it was under Smalliman's jacket that he starred at Oriental Park. The Cuban race of Viscose’s that impressed Milton most was a@ dash of one mile and 70 yards which he won in 1:41 flat after covering the first mile in 1:38 2-5. “I realize,” Milton said in talking of Viscose, “that we didn’t have the best horses racing at Havana, but Viscose, | think, improved a lot down there. He can step three-quarters in better than 1:13 and no distance is too big for him. If I were on the ground I would pay a lot of attention to him.” George Alexandra is training Viscose. A brother of George Alexandra, Bert by name, has brought that ancient and honorable plater, Carefree, which won seven races and $6,650 at 10 last season, to Bowie in fine fettle. Carefree, a son of the unbeaten Colin, trained at Pim- lico and trained well. It would be stretching things a bit to say that he is as ambitious as a 2-year-old, but he breaks willingly working mornings and, when a lead is provided, steps right on. Carefree was not good enough to win at Bowie last spring, but he finished second to Highland Chief in one sprint and second to Long Point in another. Possibly he is a little better this spring than he wes a year back. March has been kind. LOCAL RED SOX SCORE. Staging two rallies in the late innings, the Washington Red Sox Nine bested the Bryantown A. C. yesterday, 5 to 1, on the Bryantown (Md.) Diamond.

If Shortstop Joe Cronin continues to field and hit as he has been doing, it is hard to see how Manager Johnson can keep him out of the starting line- up. The “Frisco Kid” has been a flash afield in almost every game in which he played, and in addition hag been sur- prising with his hitting, many of his blows being good for extra bases. He came to the Nats last year with the reputation for being a weak batter, but he has shown himself to be just the opposite in Grapefruit League | games this spring. Rumor several times has had him replacing Jack Hayes, or playing short, with Bluege moved to second, but Johnson claims that he is manager of the team and reserves the exclusive right to make changes. Washington’s major league schedule at Tampa was completed this afternoon with the final of the five-game series with the Cardinals. Three more days remain before the team starts ite hike homeward, and games with the local Smokers have been listed. Archie Campbell and probably Adolph Liska are due to perform on the hill tomor- row. Two games are listed for John- son’s men on Wednesday, the rookies remaining here to battle the Tampa Club and the regulars going to Day- tona Beach to meet the Montreal Roy- als, of the International e, as a part of a “Walter Johnson day” cele- bration. Smokers to Meet an Unusual Combination of Nationals. The team remaining against the Smokers will te ar unusual one. Pres- ent plans call for Spencer Harris to play first, Stuf*’y Stewart, second; Charlie Gooch, shortstop; Coach Ghar- rity. third, with Pitchers Brown and Jones and Coach Milan in the outfield. The batteries have not yet been decided upon. ow indication of how far the Wash- ington players have advanced in train- ing may be gleaned from the fact that there has been no regularly scheduled practice sessions since March 22, Games have been played every day but one since, and Johnson declared this blank a holiday. Short worko ts before the start of contests uave been sufficient to keep all of the Nats on edge. Catcher Muddy Ruel’s arm has been gaining strength so rapidly of late that he now is pegging to the bases as well as he ever did. This is the first spring in several years that he has been so far advanced at this stage of the training period. Maybe his designation as team cap- tain has nothing to do with it, but the fact remains thct First Baseman Joe Judge has been improving in leaps and bounds ever since he was appoint- ed leader on the field. fm the last few games he has played as well as he ever has in his career and has been showing more pep than some of the youngsters. Catcher Bennie Tate and Shortstop Joe Cronin showed the greatest gain in batting averages during the past week, the former pulling up from .312 to .407, while Bluege’s understudy in- creased his stick figures from .454 to 500. Stuffy Stewart saw action for the first time during the past week and now leads the pack with a fancy figure of .600. Batting averages of the Nats, includ- ing this — game, are: A.B.

Re- membering the Nats’ habit of rallying in the ninth, the large gallery of fans: stayed until the finish, but they were disappointed, and Haines retired the batters as fast as they came up. Barnes’ fine catch of Smith's foul ending the fourth and Jones’ success- ful 1929 debut were the game’s only bright spots from a Washington stand- point, although it also niight be men- tioned that two snappy double plays were turned in, one of which pulled Brown out of a hole in the sixth. Although charged with an error, Douthit made two fine catches which robbed Nats of hits and led his team on attack with three safeties, being aided by Holm and Gelbert, who were credited with two hits aplece.

Visits Hilltop for Contest Strong, Grid Star, in Violet Outfeld; Poole to Pitch. —— —— Debut, to Meet Drexel Club at Brookland. HILE our Nationals are strug- gling for complete and undi- vided interest of the fans with their notable doings in the South, yet our college young men are, in their own serious way, making a bid for lo- cal attention themselves. Today, bar- ring the presence of that big wet blanket and interferer, J. Pluvius, they will offer two attractions. One is card- ‘ed at the Hilltop and the other in Brookland Stadium. The attraction at the Hilltop looms as a worthy one. New York University with Kerfneth Strong, who alone is a magnet, will oppose Georgetown start- ing at 3 o'clock. At Brookland the Catholic University Team will make its initial home appearance, meeting Drexel Institute, of Philadelphia, also commencing at 3. Last football season you probably read a lot of the feats of a brawny back by the name of Strong, who gal- loped up and down various gridirons, scoring touchdowns with consummate ease. That same Mr. Strong is in our midst today and you will see him gal- loping after fly balls in the outfield and swinging lustily at pitched balls at ‘the plate. They say he does things so well on the ball field that the world’s champion Yankees would like to write “Strong” on their pay roll. G. U. Can Even Year's Score By Beating Violet Today. It would please Georgetown very much to make Mr, Strong and his playmates null and void in so far as ir impression on local minds is con- Georgetown yet has not evened J year’s score with New York Uni- ‘versity, but dearly hopes to succeed by winning this afternoon.

It is possible, however, that O'Neil will.give the pitching call to “Packy” White, a husky left-hander with much talent, but if White does not go to the box he probably will occupy right field owing to the value of his presence in the line-up as 9 hitter. Fred her, who has been a var- sity performer for three seasons, is ex- pected to pitch for New York Univer- sity. He is the Violet’s only veteran on the firing line. Bill Conroy, of bas- ket ball fame, may serve in the relief role if Gallagher fails. George Chris- tenson, also a member of the Violet basket ball team, which twice defeated the Blue and Gray this winter, may start in an outfield position. A hustling team will be seen repre- senting Catholic U. at Brookland. The Cardinals are @ merry scrap among themselves to win permanent assignments from Coaches McAuliffe and Clark, who as yet are far from set- tling on a definite line-up for the sea- son. Jack Conlon will face Drexel in the ‘box. He yielded but five hits to V. M. I. in Catholic’s road game last week, but lost due to a combination of his own unsteadiness and that of his field- ing support in the eighth inning. Little is known here about Drexel.

It will be Marty’s first fight since his de- feat by Johnny Grosso, of New York, in the semifinal of the Sharkey-Strib- ling card at Miami last month. Marty. who, incidentally is no Shar- key for garrulity, last night declared himself fit and ready to flash his best form. “I am in good condition and will give a good account of myself.” was the way the pride of Foggy Bottom expressed it. Baltimore Scrapper Improved Since Last Meeting Marty. The word from the neighboring State metropolis is that Weiner has improved greatly since his first encounter with Gallagher when he spent most of the time on the canvas, finally going down fer the full count in the ninth round. But, it is reported, the wise. money gents will tie their rolls on the Capi- tal fighter, expecting him at least to win the decision. Gallagher ha slost no respect for the knocked him down ten times last No- vember. Rather, Marty figures Weiner bas improved enough to make * harder for him to win tonight.

HILE the golf exhibition match on the course of the Indian Spring Club yesterday afternoon was too one-sided to be interesting, the gallery which followec the contest was repaid by seeing George J. Voigt, who layed on a Washington course for the irst time since 1927, negotiate the eithteen holes in ꝰ s' okes over par -a remarkable score considering the ad- verse weather con4itions. Voigt was paired with Dr. L. 8S. O"vell, a member of the Indian Spring Club, against Walter R. McCallum, of the Washing- to. Golf and Country Club, and J. Monro Hunter, the long-hitting pro- fessional of the Indian Spring Club. Voigt and O’Tell were 3 up atthe turn and finally won on the fifteenth green, 4 up and 3 to lay. The outcome of the match was prac- tically settled on «72 first four holes, which Voigt played in two pars and two birdies. He was then 3 up and would have been 4 up but for the fact that McCallum halved the fourth hole in a birdie 3 by running down a long putt. On the first nine Voigt had an- Other birdie on the eighth with a 3-foot putt. He was out in 34 and would have had a 32 but he took three putts on each of the “wo short N oles, the sixth and the ninth, scoring fours in- stead of par threes. While his return was not as brilliant, for he had a card -f 40, it was good enough to give him a decisive victory. and while his partner was playing good golf, his own game was sufficient to win, In fact he defeated Hunter, who was driving well, but who was less for- tunate in his approaches and putts, 5 and 4 His only real break of good luck was on the «cond hole, whem he sonk an approach from off the green.

Good and Hot, from the Meadow Brook Stable, was second and Bert Baroni’s Nifty was third. Flying Heels, the Gifford AYicochran colt, raced the 5 furlongs in 0:59 flat, to annex the winner’s portion of $9,640. Willie Kelsay rode the winner. The field was the smallest in the history of the Futurity. Only six starters. Of that number, Flying Heels was install- ed favorite in both books and machines. He carried 118 pounds. One of the largest crowds of the meet was on hand to bid adieu to the ponies. Todaay’s program brought to a close a winter racing meet of 107 days, the longest continuous meeting of the year. James Cofroth, manager of the meet. said the nieeting was a great success. MRS. MILTNER IN LINE FOR HONORS Likely to Be Ranked No. 1 Bowler After Tourney Victory. HEN Mrs. t Miltner won the nationel women’s duckpin singles championship and tied Miss Marjorie Bradt,for the women’s all-events title at mond Saturday night, she just about settled all dis- pute as to who will be the ranking woman bowler of Washington and vicinity for 1928-29. The singles title was the fourth major victory scored by Mrs. Miltner this season, and her record-breaking all-events total, which she shares with Miss Bradt, is her fifth outstanding performance of the season. Never a tournament star in previous years, Mrs. Miltner gained first recog- nition by winning the Star champion- ship, and followed this triumph with a victory in the John Blick man-and- wife tournament, in which she and her husband, Wesley H. Miltner, rolled some fancy scores to lead a large field. Her third big conquest came in the Federal and District Government Sweepstakes, in which she came from behind on the final night at the Coli- seum and led the field. Mrs. Mischow Was Outstanding Star of 1928 Season. Each season produces one outstanding woman bowler in local alley ranks. Last year it was Mrs. Jrene Mischou who gar- nered the lion’s share of the laurels by taking both the national and District all-event titles. In her record-breaking singles per- formance at Richmond Saturday night. Mrs. Miltner shattered a mark which was thought likely to stand for years. Josephine Roberge, of Waterbury, Conn., set a 372 record last year at Baltimore, which was thought good for some time, }’ but Mrs. Miltner pulled the unexpected and bettered the big count by two pins. The 975 aill-events record which the shares with Miss Bradt is also 2 pins better than the record set by Mrs. Mis- chou last year. Mrs. Miltner is now planning to make her season’s conquests complete by sharing in the honors to be awarded in the Washington Women's Duckpin Association Tournament at the Lucky Strike next month. .

There are fake get-rich-quick schemers in Wash- ington; there are undeubtedly bucket shops in the Nation’s Capital; largely because there are people who do not use caution in that most important busi- ness function—that of investing their money. , Get the facts before parting with your money.

She puts all her money in the bank but expects me to spend mine for ice cream cones, &c. What is the best way to teach thrift? ECONOMIST.

EASTER SERMIGES “ARE FIRST I EU PILGRIMS CHURCH Handsome $400,000 Edifice Overlooks Ravine of Rock Creek Park. REV. A. R. BIRD CREDITED WITH DIRECTING DRIVE Pastor Traveled in Several States for Fund to Build Presbyterian Shrine, Easter morning saw the dream of years realized when the first informal services were held in the new Church of the Pilgrims, Twenty-second and P streets northwest, at 11 o'clock. The Rev. Andrew R. Bird, pastor, held a simple Easter service. The dedicatory service is to be held some time in the future. The beautiful edifice, according to the thousands of Southern Presbyte- Tians in Washington and throughout the Nation, stands as a national monu- ment to the zeal and untiring labor of the denomination and to the Rev. Dr. Bird. —* It was largely through his efforts year after year that the church was built. It is regarded in the light of a national contribution of the denom- ination to the Capital. Cost Was $400,000. Funds were remitted from churches and members of the denomination from all over the country. The building and site cost approximately $400,000. The site overlooks the ravine of the future Rock Creek-Potomac parkway. The building is described as 6ne of the most beautiful in the country. The architecture is a modification of the Gothic. The edifice ig built of Alabama limestone, a smooth surface stone; a single tower rears its spire to the esky. In the rear and adjoining the audi-. torium is the manse. The Church of the Pilgrims formerly occupied a 25-foot lot of the present site in 1910. The Rev. Dr. Bird had conceived an idea of building a church in Washington that, through its archi- tecture and the collection of funds for its building, would be a gift of the Southern Presbyterians to the Nation. Untiringly he and others worked to- ward that end. An addition to the little church which the beautiful edifice replaces was built by the labor of the Rev. Dr. Bird and Boy Scouts in 1918, when more room was needed and because of the war and a plasterers’ strike no other way seemed possible. Carried Idea Into South. With the same spirit, the Rev. Bird’s friends point out, he traveled through- out the South and convinced members of his denomination of the splendid idea of establishing a national gift here. : Several assemblies of the church ap- proved and the project was then taken under the auspices of the general as- sembly of the church and carried to @ successful conclusion. One of the distinctive features of the church equipment is a pipe organ, given by Mrs. Cameron Morrison, wife of a former Governor of North Caro- lina. Elders of the church are Dr. Henry C. Macatee, Charles W. Warden, Henry C. Briscoe, Andrew J. Kimmell, Samuel H. Boyd and James K. Mebane. The deacons are Dr. Joseph H. White, W. Hall Trigg, William A, Jameson, Charles P. Light, Paul Clark, Lewis Detterer. Walter Lawrence, Ernést A. Golden and Eldridge Myers. Frank Strunk is presi- dent of the men’s association and Mrs. Felder Furlow is president of the wom- an’s auxiliary. Clifford Speaks To Bible Readers Marine Captain Talks Easter Meeting of Capital Group. Capt. John F. Clifford, United States Marine Corps, delivered the principal address yesterday at the third annual at ternational Bible Readers League, Inc., held at the Sylvan Theater. Music was furnished by the U. 58. Army Band, while a special ceremonial was put on by District Boy Scouts. Col. E. L. Mattice was in charge of this feature. Bible reading by the audi- ence, led by Merritt L. Smith, past president of the District of Columbia Christian Endeavor Union, was held also. Mrs. Louise Harding Earll, president of the league, introduced Representa- tive John H. Ketcham, of Michigan, who presided. Dr. Henry B.

Reviewed Sunday a/fternoon. By NELSON B. BELL. While I should hesitate to make a box-office predicuon as to the future « this type of production, if the high- est function of the modern screen, like that of the stage, is to chronicle some believable aspect of actual life, then “Hearts in Dixie” must be written down as a masterpiece of vivid realism. The story, made audible as well as visible, reflects high credit upon Wal- ter Weems, its principal author, who is said to have been assisted In his task b- Mr. Sloane, the directo-, and A. H. Van Buren, a former Washington stock favorite, in that it. makes no attempt to compile a tedious succession of dra- matic complications but is content to trace only the salient events in a little community of cotton ield negroes. The pastimes of a simple race are pictured with the same minute fidelity that is brought to bear in the of the sorrows that enter their lives and arouse the superstitions that are futile sub- stitutes for medical practitioners above the level of the voodoo doctor. The two threads of narrative that may be said to pursue some a tion of continuity are those of “Pappy” Nappus and the little boy Chinquapin, and the marital exploits of “Gummy,” tue laziest man in the sett.ement, the death of whose wife and baby brings pg grief to every one but him. t is notable that throughout the ac- tion, comedy and ; athos have been bal- anced with extraordinary skill and without at all impa the natural- ness of the activities in which the members of the ensemble are engaged. The presence of Stepin Fetchit in the cast in the role of “Gummy,” is prob- ably the most stressed of any, but it is Clarence Muse, as Nappus, who bears the burden of the play’s more serious moments. Here is an actor whose rich- ness of voice, emotional grasp and quiet power equip him well for tasks of im- portance in the theater. Mr. Fetchit, to be sure, is not to be passed by light- ly. His is an unerring comedy sense in reading lines and mul their humor, in addition to w dancer that can pick ‘em up and lay ‘em down in most amazing fashion. To all that transpires upon the screen, the Billbrew chorus of 60 mixed voices furnishes a melodious . The more familiar of the songs of the South and negro spirituals are the melodies to which they turn the mellowness and beauty of their harmonious voices. Among the members of the cast who contribute commendable performances should be mentioned Eugene Jacks6n, as Chinquapin; Bernice Pilot, as Chloe; Vivian Smith, as Violet; little Dorothy Morrison, as "Melia, and A. C. H. Bill- brew, as the voodoo woman. A new master of ceremonies in the person of John Irving Fisher takes com- mand of the stage portion of the bill and does a deft and efficient job of it. Mr. Fisher is a. young man with a per- sonality and a sense of humor .who does not imitate but nevertheless sug- gests Frank Fay in manner. The Hap- py-Go-Lucky Boys and Bobby Pincus stood out among those introduced and so did Florence Forman, an Evelyn Law dancer. Reese, contralto; Shelton and acrobatic dancers, and Trixie Hicks and Peggy Hart, soubrettes. The Foxettes, with many new faces, clicked. The Fox Moviétone News and the col- ored fashion reel, together with Mr. Brusiloff’s well played ‘Southern Rhap- sody,” by Hosmer, rounded out another trail-blazing entertainment. ~ PALACE | “THE DUKE STEPS OUT.” Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer sound picture, starring William Haines, supported by Joan Craw- fjord and Karl Dane. Directed James Cruze. Reviewed Saturday night Mary Porter Russell. Were it not for the assurance prefac- ing William Haines’ latest stellar offer- ing that it is adapted from a Saturday Evening Post story of Lucian Cary’s, the obvious conclusion would be that a studio scenarist had been instructed to run off scenario No. 16 from the standard Haines formula. There is nothing about the picture to distin- guish it from the star’s usual output, unless it be that it is more trivial than has sometimes been the case and at the same time less humorous. The -truth is that the original fresh boy seems to be growing a little wearied himself with his freshness. His store of tricks is still with him, but he parades them with less spon- taneity than of yore and with a sus- piciously wistful expression peeping through the giddy whirl of his antics. Perhaps it is the ifMMinent session in the ring with the professional Jack Roper that haunts his thoughts. A le- gitimate cause for dampened spirits, this last, to Judge from Mr. Roper’s fists in action. It should be stated that William is here a prize fighter, the different kind, with a millionaire father. Lured back to the classroom he has deserted by an overwhelming taste for a coed who has snubbed him on the train, he leads the triple life of a student-pugilist-lover uhtil the night of the big fight, when he almost loses—you know how those things go—but doesn’t. In spite of an unfailing conviction, based on William’s previous athletic contests, that he will win out in the end, the fight is the most exciting and well-done incident in the picture. Huge throngs in the stadium lend authentic background to the spectacle and the radio description reaching the students back at Sierra brings with it a feeling of reality. The rest of the footage de- votes itself to flaming youth in the process of acquiring knowledge and :o William in the process of acquiring Joan Crawford. Joan does well enough with/what she has to do, but Karl Dane is of\small consequence in a role that fails matter. short subject of sufficient gravity to balance nicely with the feature film sets forth the tragic tale of Mme. du Barry » — » _ ye ty —X apy 1 * OLA pes mae eae | * ‘ * ——— af ay bike ae A : a y 4 * ba 5) - — ot ~ Pi nt J bad , hey n Fi rang, * J ee ay — — toate ; ° ‘ — J wee bad * — fi ™ > 5 _ ) 4 I i 8 * gq 1 Py BF ‘ to the 1 ify death of her lover at the hands of the — Turks.
