By lateraatloasl New* Sereiee PORt DIXIE. Fla.. Aug. 11- Treasure cached along the gulf eoast .by Pierce and Jean Lafitte and John Inerarity is being search ed for today by an' expedition fitted out in Pensacola and operating with Santa Rosa as a base. Intense interest is displayed by old timers along this Section of coast line. All of them know that pirate treasure exists and Some of them even whisper of finds by members of their immediate fam ilies. The present Venture is expensive ly outfitted. Working from a huge cement and steel, barge, properly of the Government during the war and now owned by a syndicate, the membership of which is a closely guarded secret, diving and dredging operations in Choctawhatchee Bay started this morning. Captain Paul Steward refused point blank to give the names of the men who chartered the. dredge. He intimated, however, that the men who are interested _ in the treasure hunt know of the loca tion of at least one treasure cache. This, according to reports, is lo cated upon 4and owned by a de velopment company and the own ers of this development have stated that they contemplate in junction proceedings against .the syndicate to prevent dredging op erations on their land or in waters adjacent thereto. WIU the guarding shades of Pierce and Jean Lafitt and John Inerarity allow the present venture to !>e crowned with success? That is a question that is in the hearts of the old residents of this section. Among themselves they talk free ly, but when questioned by strangers they look out to sea, smile their salty smiles and answer nothing.

IIXPRO™ MEETS KING IN MONASTERY Tufta Teacher Chats With Bulgarian Ruler for More Than Hour By CONSTANTINE STEPHANOVE, International News Service RILO MONASTERY, Bulgaria, Aug. 18.—Freedom from the cares of governing Bulgaria are found here in this mountain monastery, alike for King Boris and his pre mier. Professor Andrews, of Tuft’s Col lege, Massachusetts, was surprised to find himself face to face with King Boris in this beautiful spot, and he was quite complimented when the King sat and chatted with him for more than an hour; the professor’s surprise was greater, however, when, In walking through the monastery, he came face to face witht Premier Tsankoff. "Morgen,” said the premier. “Is that the way you say it in Amer ica?” The professor smiled and re sponded, “Good-morning.” “Ah!” said the premier. “Per haps my English is not too good. I am glad to meet you here, though, for I understand you have been inspecting the refugee camps. "It is good that our western friends should see what a huge problem this Xrugee question is for small Bulgaria. Our country is filled with refugees, and our frontier lines swarm with them. That is due to the failure to execute the minority clause in the Balkan peace treaty. The desperate con dition caused has created a very rich soil for discontent among the masses of the oppressed popula tions and for Bolshevist activities. "In Bulgaria both the public and the state benevolence have been taxed to the extreme, as every seventh person is a refugee.” THE WEATHER Official Weather Bureau Report Partly cloudy tonight and tomorrow; probably showers and thunderstorms.

THREE CENTS} TRAIN WRECKED; 75 ESCAPE Traction Survey Near Completion GERTRUDE EDERLE COLLAPSES 75ESC1PE DEATH IN WRECK Engine Jumps Switch Within City Limits—Coaches Stay on Track# Seventy-five passengers and the train crew of a southern-bound train which left the Union Station at 9:15 today courted with death when the engine jumped a switch as it turned the curve on the viaduct over Second street and Virginia avenue southwest, and derailed together with an express and baggage and mail car. The parlor car and two coaches con taining the passengers did not leave the tracks. Miraculous Escape How Engineer Matt M. Bostwick and Fireman Athol Melott escaped with their lives when the engine derailed is a mystery to trainmen in the yards who witnessed the accident. As one oldtime railroad man declared: "Lady Luck was sure with them.” An Inquiry is under way to de termine the cause of the derail ment, while a wrecking crew is endeavoring to hoist tWb engine and. salvage it. Except for a brief period of hysteria among some of the women and children the passengers took the accident quite Coaches Sent Out Again Working swiftly, the officials of the Southern Railway took the passenger coaches back to the station, unloaded the mail and bag gage and sent them out again at 10:29. Bostwick. Melott, and Jim Fisher, the conductor, who were in charge of the derailed train, all live at The Plains, Va., and are veteran railroad men. The train was bound for Warren ton and Harrisonburg, Va. It was in the hands of what is known as a cut-out engineer who leaves it at Alexandria. The road engineer of the derailed engine, known on the Southern line as N0.'1104 is T. S. Cofiin. Engine Beyond Repair Coflin, it is said, will be sadly shocked when he learns that his engine has been wrecked, probably beyond repair. Each of the Southern Railway engineers have their own engines and they take great pride in their appearance and record. Besides having his name printed in prominent letters on the side of his cabin, Coflin had the picture of his young daughter pasted on one of the huge dials in the center of the engine. First word of the accident came to the police when one of the pas sengers walked down to the Seventh street station and told Private F. McGrath of the Fourth precinct. McGrath immediately notified police headquarters and obtained the essential details from train of ficials. SUGGESTS PLANTO MAKE TRAFFIC SIGNS DURABLE A method of painting signs on the streets so that they will not be effaced so readily was suggested to Colonel I. C. Moller, acting di rector of traffic, by C. Francis Jenkins, inventor today. Jenkins, who invented a method of transmitting photographs by radio, suggests that the roadway be stippled, or made into a surface consisting of raised units, so that the paint may be permitted to sink below the surface and be evident longer. Ladies May Smoke Bat Tobacco Crop z Shows Drop Despite the spread of the tobacco habit among women, world production of tobacco dropped off 2 per cent last year, the Department of Agriculture announced today. The total out put of the weed was 2,686,000,* 000 pounds. Most of the decrease is ac counted for by shrinkage in the United States and Greece. This country produced 1,242,- 623,000 pounds last year, as compared with 1,515,110,000 pounds in 1923, a drop of 272,- 487,000 pounds. In Greece there was a decline of 85,000,000 pounds.

GJ HOME EDITION THIEF NIBBED IN WIU SHEET CHISE Detective and Three Cops Run Down John Smith, Charged With Larceny Hundreds of persons on Seventh street, between D street and Penn sylvania avenue northwest, wit nessed the exciting chase and cap ture of an alleged department store thief by Headquarters Detective Dennis J. Murphy today. As Murphy, with Detectives King and Cox, was walking along D street, between Seventh and Eighth, the cry of “Stop thief” rang out as 8 young colored man dashed by. Murphy grabbed at the fleeing youth, but the latter twisted loose. Policeman J. R. LeFoe, attached to the First precinct about six months ago, pulled his revolver, ac cording to the detectives, and fired one shot. Murphy said that until this shot was heard, he was holding his own in the chase as the pursued man turned into Seventh street. Down Seventh street fled the col ored man, followed by Murphy, Le- Foe, King and Cox in the order named, until the Avenue was reach ed. The alleged thief endeavored to complete his escape by leaping across the tracks in front of a street car which was proceding across Seventh street. Not to be foiled, Murphy dived aftei the man and made a flying tackle in front of the moving street car. The quick application of brakes by an irritated motorman saved the two men from injury, the detectives declared. After a struggle the man was placed under arrest and turned over to LeFoe. At the First precinct, the prisoner gave his name as John Smith, colored, twenty-three, and his ad dress as 312 Maine avenue south west, A charge of the larceny of a brown silk dress from a Seventh street department store was placed against him. ATTEMPT TOM CHANNEL FAILS Stitt Wfrtd anrf Choppy Sea .Overcome Girl Seven Miles From Goal By FREDERIC ABBOTT International News Set-rice CAPE GRIS-NEZ, France, Aug. 18.—Miss Gertrude Ederle, the American girl who left here at 7:10 a. m. today to swim the English Channel, collapsed at 3:58 this afternoon and was lifted from the water intp the tug which ac companied her, according to ad vices received here. Mis* Ederle was about seven miles from Dover, her goal, when she was forced to give up, ac cording to wireless from the tug. Miss EMerle started out from Cape Gris-Nez at 710 a. m. and for the first five hours or so every thing seemed in her favor. The waters of the fickle channel were calm and serene when; she started and, although the tide was to be against her until 11:30 o’clock, it was calculated that that disad vantage would be overcome from noon onwards, when the tdie would be her friend in the rest of the struggle to reach the Dover Cliffs She Was Optimistic Miss Ederle was full of optimism when she took off, an optimism which was shared by watchers in the lighthouse at Gris-Nez, who fol lowed her with their glasses until she disappeared into the channel mists. At 10 a. m. came back hopeful word that she was “going strong,” six kilometers from the French coast. I Optimism continued and at 11:30 o’clock a Dover "channel packet re ported Miss Ederle in mid-channel I with everything in her favor. Then fortune, in the shape of the natural elements, seemed to aban don Miss Ederle. She was strug- I gling valiantly forward, but a i packet which reached Boulogne at 3:15 p. m. reported the wind rising with Miss Ederle still battling m mid-channel. More disconcerting was a later message from a Dover captain who, arriving in the English port at 4 o’clock this afternoon, reported that he had not sighted the Ameri can girl. He added the discourag ing news that the middle of the channel was so rough that in his opinion Miss Ederle could not pos sibly succeed. Boat Accompanying Girl Carried Band And Supply of Rum By FREDERIC ABBOTT International News Service CAPE GRIS-NEZ, France, Aug. 18.—Undaunted by the failures of two other women this year. Miss Gertrude Ederle, the American swimmer, entered the water here at 7:10 a. m. today to battle with the fickleness of tide and wave in a valiant effort to be the first woman to swim the English Chan ne Apparently weather conditions were decidedly in her favor.

It was exactly 7:10 o'clock. Safely Passes Rocks Guided by Captain Tom Burgess, the famous English swimmer. Miss Ederle made her start, and with easy, graceful strokes was soon safely past the rocks ■which jut out into the sea menacingly around Cape Grisnez. Miss Ederle began her swim with an eight-beat crawl, gradually in creasing the rhythm until the-faith ful Tom Burgess, accompanying her in a rowboat, cautioned her against too much speed. The American girl, spouting the water from her mouth, called back cheerily, “I’m feeling peppy.” Burgess was in bathing togs and expected to take the water from time to time to encourage the girl in her heroic task. Ample provision was made for Miss Ederle’s physical* sustenance during her swim. Likewise, It was remembered that her must be kept up. Accordingly, an Ameri can jazz band was aboard the light house tug Lamorinlque, which fol lowed Miss Ederle. Also aboard, besides numerous friends and admirers of the plucky girl, were two barrels of beer, a lib eral supply of cognac, sandwiches and the like. The tug disappeared from view of the lighthouse watches into a mist at 9:40. Miss Ederle showed no perturba tion as she dipped into the waters of the channel which have baffled the efforts of so many of her prede cessors, men as well as women. The girl is absolutely fearless, a fact of which she gave ample evi dence. She belied the legend that her sex will retreat at the sight of a mouse by ignoring as of no importance reports by fishermen that a school of sharks had taken up its abode in the channel, being lured down out of the colder waters of the North Sea. Having spent a quiet day yester day and had a good night’s rest Miss Ederle left all details to her managers and .friends so that when she appeared,on the giant rocks of the cape today she had husbanded all her physical strength and nerv ous energy for the ordeal which lay ahead as her. Thus with a cheery smile and an air of utmost confidence she took off on the quest which no woman has yet achieved. Father Says She Is Game NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—" That certainly was tough luck I thought "Trudy’ would make it sure, sure. “But she’s game —she’ll try again. You can bet cn that.” This was the declaration of Henry Ederle. butcher, when in formed by International News Ser vice this afternoon that his daugh ter. Gertrude, had failed after a valiant attempt to swim the Eng- lish Channel. FINDWSEX PROBLEM IS POLITICAL Prof. Keynes Expects Liberals to Have Birth Control Plank In Platform CAMBRIDGE, Eng., Aug. 18.—“ I can't doubt. that sex questions are bound to enter the political arena,” declared John Maynard Keynes to gasping and shocked students of the Liberal Summer School, an institu tion for embryonic politicians. There was further astonishment when Professor Keynes, known all aver the world as a most eminent economist, intimated that advocacy of birth control may soon become a .plank in the Liberal platform. For torty-two years Professoi Keynes has been a bachelor, and now having taken Lydia Lopova the Russian danseuse, as his wife he comes forth with suggestions upon sex questions and politic! that worry the old school politicians “Birth control and the use ol contraceptives, marriage laws, th< economic position of, women, th< economic position of "the family in all these matters the existing state of the law and of orthodoxy are still medieval,” said Professoi Keynes, "and altogether out ol touch with civilized opinion anc practice and with what individuals educated and uneducated alike, say to each other in private.

Ham. president of the Washington Railway ajid Electric Company, whose lines terminate at the two points at Fifteenth street, denied that the present situation could be remedjed in away that would bring improvement rather than further complication. “Diversion of the cars on Four teenth street would result in plac ing heavier burdens on the line on that street,” declared Mr. Ham. “it would be merely transferring a bad situation elsewhere.” District officials be”*- that a merger of the two street car lines would offer the readiest solution to the "dead end” terminal ’em.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES TA* National Daily TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1925 M)E10 HOLO ■ELM f EARS I New York Youth, Inventor, Says Device Is Better Than Phonograph By HUBERT P. MALKUS International News Service NEW YORK. Aug. 18.—A small spool of steel wire will preserve for future generations the epochal events of history. That is the way Harold Westman, twenty-three-year-old student and inventor, of Mamaroneck, N. Y., views a device he has perfected to reproduce voice and every other sound by means of a vibrating wire. "If this idea had been worked out sooner,” he said, “we could now hear the Sermon on the Mount, Patrick Henry’s speech for liberty or death, Lincoln's address at Get tysburg—every ballot in the 1924 Democratic national convention.” With those opportunities gone, however, every important eveot of the future cad be. preserved. West man declares. Better Than Phonograph The steel wire method reproduces, sound more clearly than the phono graph, he claims, and can be pre served indefinitely, whereas phono graph records are comparatively short lived. "If a gieat speech is made it can be recorded bn a spool of this wire and be reproduced perfectly a thou sand years from now,” the young Inventor said. Westman was shown the claim of Doctor Curt Stille, German in ventor, that he had perfected a similar device. The Stille announce ment was carried in an exclusive International News Service dis patch of August 3. “I perfected my invention several months ago and gave it a final trial July V/Westman said. "LiMie Patterson, well known New York ainger, will verify this. Reproduce Singer's Voice “I& the final test I asked her to sing a number of arias that are most difficult to reproduce by any method. She sang for fortv minutes and then listened to the i results —the reproduction of her own voice. "She paid me and my invention the compliment of saying "the re production was perfect.’ "I made no public announcement of the test, because I don’t claim i much credit for ft,” the inventor continued. “Doctor Stille was ap parently behind me by three or four i weeks, but both of us were twenty five years behind Poulsen, the b.ved ish Inventor.-” Poulsen, according to Westman, i perfected the electro-magnerlc method of voice reproduction a quarter of a century ago. md de vices using his principle were used in dictaphone work in Europe. The sounds were clear but faint. Aided By Radio “The trouble was,” he said, ’’that the amplifier or "loud speaker’ had not been developed then as it has since radio. The loud speaker is the one thing Doctor Stille and I have that Poulsen didn’t.” Westman said he wanted to give full credit to Poulsen and some credit to himself for being ahead of Doctor Stille with the application of the amplifier to the old process. To substantiate this claim he ex hibited a number of photographs made by the International News reel Company, of New York, during the test with Madame Patterson. These photographs, taken July 9. show the device in operation. The principle of the "wire method” of sound reproduction as explained by tfce young inventor is tnis: Sound Waves Magnified. The wire is unreeled from the spool as the sound enters the micro phone. The sound waves, magni fied by the microphone, cause the wire to vibrate. While vibrating the wire Is magnetized, the degree of magnetization depending upon the length of the vibration. When the magnetized wire runs through the reproducing end of the apparatus, bits of steel attract the magnetized wire, causing it to vibrate exactly as in —the first process. This vibration reproduces the sound waves that first entered the microphone, and they are in creased to audibility in the loud speaker. The advantages of this process are several, according to Westman, Whereas the radio must always have its speaker, singer, or band present, the “wire method” requires this presence but once. The same performance can be produced In numarable times afterward —for the lifetime of the wire, which Is almost 1 forever. 1 A phonograph record decays in time and it runs only ten minutes or so. A small spool of wire, not i too large to hold in the hand, holds in -its several miles of length performance of an hour or so. A spool of wire of not unwieldy size could run for hours, and a series' could be linked up'as are the reels of a motion picture. Plan Talking Pictures Where Doctor Stille apparently visualized his invention only as a dictaphone. Westman sees his de vice rivalling the radio for enter tainment, solving the long-sought "talking motion pictures” and rev- olutionizlng educational methods. “I am now working out a method c of synchronization that will enable a play to be photographed and spoken at the same time,” he said. “It will not be hard to hook up the film reel and the spool of wire to operate in perfect timing.’’ Schools, the young inventor pre diets, will soon be teaching elocu tion, drama and similar subjects with his “wire voice.” Urges Separate Vacation ABERDEEN.

MEXICO WIPES OUT RAGGED ARMIES Calles Cuts Down Number to 60,000 Men, Drops All of the Political Generals By International News Service MEXICO CiTY. Aug. 18.—The picturesque and usually inefficient ariViy, as pictured by the late Rich ar cl Harding Davis, Is no more. Within a comparatively few months President Calles has turned a barefoot, poorly equipped army into a well-clothed, uniformly arm ed fighting force. A regiment on parade, or entrain ing, might well be mistaken for an American unit, in neat khaki uniforms. The soldiers keep step, and they are snappy. _ The government has Also estab lished. and is working overtime with a factory for the manufacture of uniforms, shoes and other clothing. Little by little, the nondescript arms have been replaced With mod ern Weapons. Until this time one company in a battalion would hays Winches ters. another Mausers, another Krags; and it was next to Impos sible to supply the requisite am munition. The army was also large, un wieldy and. in some instances, poorly officered, particularly in the higher commands, by political gen erals. President Calles has weeded the force down to a minimum, esti mated at around 60,000, and put it in charge of officers who were graduated at the Military Academy. One of the ranking officers, Gen eral Martinez, commanding the Val ley of Mexico Division, the largest unit, according to Colonel Russell, American military attache, is capable of taking a division of American troops Into action, with all the various units that go with the modern American army. The old barracks have been re modeled and made sanitary. The strictest kind of discipline has been imposed. Always on the Move. In*addition, the troops are kept constantly on the move, as if in a campaign. 3.4IBFROMU. 5. MAKE HOMES IN SHANGHAI American Colony in Chinese Port Larger Even Than One in Paris By BERT L.

The serious stage in the rioting was reached when the anti-Jewish mobs rushed the police, who had taken vigorous measures to break up meetings held to protest against the gathering of the Zion ists in the ancient Hapsburg capital. Some Trampled to Death Os those who were injured some were slashed with sabers, others were hit with stones, which flew in all directions during the melee, and still others were trampled beneath the feet of policemen’s horses. In consequence of the fury which has been aroused, the entire police force of Vienna, aggregating 6,000, has been brought into action. All bridges over the ordinarily peaceful Danube leading into the Jewish quarter of Vienna are closely guarded. The trouble started by organiza tions of youth with strong nation alistic and anti-Senitic prejudices who thwarting all efforts of the police to control them were bent upon breaking up the Zionist con gress at all hazards. The head of the Vienna police forbade the hostile demonstrations. Nevertheless several thousand hot heads invaded the city and sur rounded the hotels where the Zion ist delegates were put up, shout ing and shrieking their hostility. President Weizmann rejected all suggestions for postponement of the opening of the Congress from to night until tomorrow night because of the antl-semetic demonstrations. Order would now seem to have been restored and the police said today they expected no further outbreaks. No Jews were among those in jured in the riots. The police have 1 arrested twenty-six additional demonstrators making a total of 106 under arrest for participation in the disturbances. $1,300,000 From Rag Pile LONDON, Aug. 18.—Owner of only a great pile of rags when he started out to make carpets, Peter Adam left an estate worth 31,300,000.

RECOVERY OF SUNKEN MERIDA’S $7,000,000 SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE US HUE SCARED BI SHARKS Gold Is Behind Captain’s Cabin 250 Feet Below Sur face of the Sea By latersatteMl Perries NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 18—“ The treasure hunters aboard the trawler Spray now seeking the vast wealth of the sunken Ward liner Merida forty miles east of the Virginia capes, will never re cover a dollar’s worth of it.” This was the statement today of a man familiar with the opera tions of the trawler, which already has been at the scene of the Merida for more than three months while the beat of calm summer weather prevailed and conditions for recovering the sunken fortune of $7,000,000 were most favorable. Expense Is Enormous During the entire two months' time divers actually have spent only four and one-half hours work-. Ing beneath the surface. The es timated cost of the work so far has been enormous, running well over SBOO,OOO, it was said. The strong box containing most of the wealth of the Merida is back of the captain’s cabin, and as the wreck lies, is the most inac cessible part of the submerged craft. During all the time the Spray has been at work, Neilsen, “the world’s deepest diver,** has been in the Merida’s captain's cabin, which adjoins the strong box room, only nine minutes, the informant stated. The passage to this room is so torturous and so fraught with danger that even if the Merida lay at a shallow depth of only fifty feet, instead of 250 the job of re covering the fortune in gold coin and bullion would be almost im possible. Swanns of- Sharks The water is swarming with sharks, the informant stated, but in no instance have they attacked the divers. On one occasion when no sharks were seen members of tfli Spray r s crew Went bathing. But the captain later forbade any of the men entering the water. The other day the Spray crew counted fifty man eaters fighting ravenously for refuse thrown over the ship’s side. Cross currents and contrary winds make diving most difficult of any that the experienced divers ever have experienced. A ladder ex tends from the deck of the Spray to a depth of sixty feet under the water. The divers descend this on their first “leg** into the depths. NIKEOTINGER SOUGHT Bl POSSE Kansas City Man Keeps Citi zens Enthralled by Odd Antics By International News Service KANSAS CITY. Mo., Aug. 18.— Swope Park's satyr is being pur sued in earnest today. A wagon load of police, newspaper men and hitherto baffled “houn* dogs’’ set ©ut on the hunt at daylight this morning for the eccentric dancer, ©f the wildwood. Clad in a hat and shoes and sunshine, the satyr for more than a week has been reported to 1 park employes by men and women. Re ports have him darting coyly out of thickets, yelling and then speed ing away. But he w-ings a wicked hoof, too. The famous Isadora had nothing on the satyr when John Keck, park employe, sighted him yesterday. “Hey, put on your pants," yelled Keck. The satyr responded with seven absolutely new aesthetic steps and grinned at Keck, who was far above him. Keck started down. The satyr did two more twists and a wiggle and was off over glen and dale. Trails indicate that the man has been living in the park for some time. So far he has offered harm to none of the persons he has frightened.

Fim imw BEAT SPOUSE, SHESIIS Winfield Scott May Die From Loss of Blood—Police Tell Os Row Over Liquor CUMBERLAND, Md., Aug. 18.— Winfield Scott, thirty.-four, is lying in a critical condition at Alleghany hospital today from loss ot blood, following a mysterrious assault, and transfusion, it is thought, will be necessary to save him. His wife, Jennie Scott, a young woman suggestive of the flapper, who* says she committed the as sault, wants to give blood, but her offer will likely be refused, as doctors say it will be necessary to get blood from a mah of the same type as Scott. Mrs. Scott says she assaulted her husband, who came home drunk and attempted to beat her, but the county officials attach lit tle to her story and think Scott was attacked in a row over the distribution of money from the sale of liquor. She says she threw a chair at him and he fell down the stairway. He lay several hours without medi cal attention, and he lost so heavily of blood that the doctors in attend ance are doubtful about his re covery. Later the police pursued three men, Thomas McGuire, Clyde (“Dink”) Appold, and T. P. Swisser. who were seen removing a still from the Scott home, and placed the men under arrest, Thej' also confiscated the still. The car they had, owned by McGuire, was also seized, but later returned to him, by the prohibition enforcement officers, who said they could find no ruling whereby a car could be confiscated for simply transporting a still. Appold, who says the still was his. w’as held in SI,OOO bail and the others were dismissed.

On the reconstruction loans ob tained after the armistice, some $205,00,000 exclusive -of accrued intrest, they were willing to fund on substantially the same terms as the British.

4 JEAN ELIOT’S NEWS AND GOSSIP OF SOCIETY ANNUALTENNIS TOURNAMENT IS OFF Diplomats Will Not Stage Contest at “Boundary Castle” TIE diplorriatic tennis tourna ment, which has served for the last few years to put life in the listless days of waning summer in .the Capital, will not take place this year. The reason is that too few of those who wield a "wicked” racket and who are eligible to do this on the courts of Boundary Castle are in town, or will be here, when the tournament, is usually staged. This tournament, was really an event last summer. It -took about two weeks to run off the prelim inaries and the finals. And nearly every afternoon, during this period, was followed by an informal sup per aricT dancing, or a social gath ering of some sort, at which the tennis players and spectators were present. Indeed, during those, days the routes from' all the embassies and legations lead directly to Mrs. John B. Henderson’s place on Six teenth street, which she usually gives over to the diplomats for the summer. Incidentally, one might mention that Mrs. Henderson has a. pro nounced penchant for diplomats— especially foreign diplomats. which is not to be wondered at, for they are. in most- cases, quite delightful. And Undoubtedly a quaint, dear old lady like the promoter of Sixteenth street finds the kiss (upon the hand) and the courtly bow of. a dashing diplomat even more charming than does the debutante, when she re ceives such for the first time. But to get back to the tourna ment that will not be: Andor de Hertelendy, of the* Hungarian lega tion, who was a winner last year, has spent most of his time, I be lieve, going back and forth to New port. And Laura Bryn, daughter of the Norwegian Minister and Mme. Bryn, who was also a winner, while she is in town, still she is “pinch-hit ting” for “Dot” Mondell on a# local paper—and then, playing in tourna ments is getting to be an old story for Laura. She was one of the girls going from Washington for the Vir ginia State tournament held in the early summer at the* Norfolk Coun try Club, Norfolk, Va. Colonel di Bemezzo, retiring mili tary attache of the Italian Embassy, who was delegated T>y Mrs. Hen derson as a “ring leader” in the summer control of the Castle grounds, will be levying Washington very soon to return to Rome. In fact he and Marquise di Bemezzo are sailing from New York on board the Leviathan on September 5, and are busy now getting packed for their departure. Colonel di Bernezzo, while not one of the star players, certainly appears to enjoy the game. Nearly every afternoon, late, his slim, short figure can be seen in tennis togs returning to his apartment at Stoneleigh Court, i The former Egyptian Minister, 8. Yousry Pasha, was one of the most striking figures in the tourna ment last summer—but, he alas! is now In Berlin, where he is serving as Minister of Egypt. The Austrian Minister and Mme. Prochnik are among the few con stant ones on the.courts this sum- mer. -But, while they have always "backed up” the tournament and the other pleasures of the Castle, grounds-*-they have never been winners in contests there. One of the very best tennis players is Clarence Young of the Chinese legation. He has been taking sub-deb Marina Yung Kwai, daughter of the Counselor of the' Chinese legation and Mme Yung Kwai, to the Castle this summer.

"THe Lion Cleaned, Died and Re paired,” reads a sign over a well known Oriental clothes cleaning shop, whose business name is “The Lion.” The front windows of a little ton- sorial shop on Hotel street are di vided by a wide board, but that is no hindrance to the sign painted thereon—“BAß BAR” —one syllable to each side. On Alapai street, straight across i from the Rapid Transit car barns, i stands a little clothes, cleaning shop, i Street car riders going by are apt to puzzle for some time at the sign, “Thera Pid Cle Aner,” won- dering whether it is Hindu or; Baluchistan, then of a sudden com-1 ing to realize that the sign merely I spells “the rapid cleaner” and that: the words have been divided up in! order to fit the window glass. A Utile farther down the street is the shop of “Hook On, the Tailor.” One of the most interesting signs in town and one showing the cos mopolitan nature of the population has been erected by the street car company to warn people against venturing onto one of the com pany’s bridges. This sign bears a warning written in Chinese, Japa nese, Filipino, Portuguese, Hawaiian and English. MOVIE CONTEST IS NEARING CLOSE Only Four Days Left to Send in Essay to Times for World Tour Chance With only four more days re maining before the close of the Greater Movie Season Contest, let-1 ters on the subject of “What the Motion Picture Means to Me” and “What the Motion Picture Means to My Community” are pouring in to The Times office with every de livery of mail. The contest closes at 6 o’clock Saturday and no let; ters will be received after that hour by the Greater Movie Season editor of The Times. Included in the closing days’ rush are many letters from persons who already had sent in one or more before. This is entirely O.'K., as there is no limit to the number of letters one may write and submit ■in thia con teat, the first national prize in which is a trip around the world on the Red Star liner Bel genland. Second national prize is a choice of a trip to Hollywood, California, or' Miami. Florida, while the third prize will be a trip to I Hollywood or Miami, according to the second winner’s choice. In ad l dition to winning local prizes, the thrte best letters received by The i Times will be sent to the national i judges in New York to be consid j ered along with the letters received from 10 other cities, where leading newspapers are conducting the con test in conjunction with The Times. Everyone is eligible to compete except employes of The Times, pro fessional writers and persons con nected with the motion picture in dustry. This is not a literary con test for fine writing or rhetorical flourishes. Clearness and original ity of thought, rather than literary ability will decide the winners. All letters should be approximately 300 words in length. If you can tell what the motion picture means to you or to your community in less than 300 words, so much the better. At the end of your letter give the name of a motion picture you have seen this month and the theater at which you saw it.

8 ■n m THOU EimCED Details of Operationße Worked Out at Parley Here This Week By ROBERT 8. THORNBURGH The modus operand! of the new Canadian-American anti-smuggling treaty will be determined here tomorrow when officials of the two governments meet in joint con ference at the Treasury, it was announced today., k While technically the treaty, aimed at building up a strong law enforcement co-operation between Canada and United States, went into effect witij ratification, prac tically its provisions cannot be applied until a detailed agreement Is signed. •Among the most important’pro visions to be considered here *8 a clause permitting the Canadian government to transport intoxjcat- liquors across American terri tory from Skagway, Alaska,-to the Yukon territory over the famous White Horse Pass-Yukoh trail. Officials explained that liquors will be shipped by Canadian in terests from •Vancouver, B. C.» to Skagway and transported Over a thirty mile strip of dry Alaska, avoiding the necessity of whiskey movements through ‘Canadian terri tory by dog-sled. Until the agreement is reached by the two governments liquor cannpt pass through American ter ritory' under- the prohibition laws. Restriction On Clearances. In return for this concession,-the Canadian government will furnish to United States detailed inform?* tion as to liquor cargoes clearing from Canadian ports. Canada, under the pact, will re fuse to grant clearance papers to liquor-laden vessels unless the ships are of sufficient size, and properly manned to make the foreign, ports which they claim as- a destination. In the past small motorboats have been given clearance from Canadian lake ports -for Cuba, South America, and Europe, although it was apparent that their Cargoes of beer, wines and liquors were for smuggling into United States. These new regulations, when ef fective, will assist the American Government materially in the en forcement of the liquor smuggling laws, in the opinion of. General *L. C. Andrews, prohibition czar. New York’? old .rum row was made up chiefly of liquor ships clearing from Canadian Atlantic pqyts. although the clearance papers of these ships'showed themdhead ed for Cuba, Europe or South America. Exchange Information Supply ships of Canadian clear ance furnished Rum Row with its provisions. They also replenished supplies of liquor- exhausted J»y smuggling into United States.
