Smith's signature on the repeal of the Mullan- Gage act has killed his chances of be- ing nominated for the presidency, but has strengthened his political stand- ing in the £ ite, William H. Anderson, state superintendent of the Anti-Sa- Joon League of New York, declared to- day. “Gov. Smith,” he said, “is done so far as the presidency is concerned. He has not a chance in a hundred of nomination, nor one in a thousand of election if nominated. But in a race for Governor of New York state to-| day or in the fall of 1924 he would| defeat any wet republican so badly to be pathetic, Anderson declared that as a result ©f the gubernatorial action ‘the re- mctionary, young, so-called leaders of the republican party, including such eminent beer wets as Speaker Mac- Hold, United States Senator Wads- worth, Theodore Roosevelt and Og- den L. Mills, found themselves caught in a jam.” The governor’s action, Anderson as- serted, puts him in control of the wet element in New York, leaving the wet republicans powerless in their own state and cut off from their national party, which, Anderson said, is com- mitted to effective prohibition enforce- ment. ! | venient places i | Henry | ered Saint-Gaudens’ masterpiece. 1in the world.

For more than an hour this after- noon the White House was the center of interest to youthful Washington | and to hundreds of visitors. The vari- ous tribes of Indians at the Indian jexposition and a score or more of cowboys and cowgirls who create thrills aplenty at the redeo rode up received by President Harding. The chiefs were introduced by Victor J. Evans, and in turn were presented to Mr. Harding by Indian Commissioner Burke. Others present were Secretary Work and United States Marshal Ed- gar C. Snyder. The western contingent was deeply impressed by the simplicity of life at the White House, and the Indians, most of whom met the “Great White Father” for the first time, felt that they could rest their case in his hands and be assured of justice to the red man. Last night's rodeo contests were the most thrilling thus far. There were some spills and a number of close calls for the thrown riders. The wild horse race has become the fea- ture of the many events. Tomorrow | additional prize money, amounting to $2.500, will be offered to the winners of the roping and bronco-riding con- tests. - E A street parade will be given next Monday at 1 o'clock. The Indians, cowboys and cowgirls will ride up Massachusetts avenue, out L street to Washington Circle and back down | Pennsylvania avenue to Peace Monu- | ment, thence to the show grounds.

Sullivan. “You men,” said the Commissioner, “are about to face one of the biggest tasks ever cut out for the Metropoli- tan police. The Commissioners have confidence in you and ask only that you |1ve up to 1t { The Commissioner told the precinct {commanders that the prohibition law must be enforced to the letter, and reminded them that the impressions {the visiting hosts take home with them of the Nation's Capital will depend, in a large measure, upon the conduct of the police. “You have your orders worked out in detail by the major,” said the Com- missioner. " “It is your part of the job now to see that they are carried out.” The Commissioner congratulated the captains upon the efficient manner in | which they have prepared for the con- {vention, and expressed confidence that |they would go through the week with- out serious mishap.

Phone Main 6723 Famous T-2 Shrine Exhibit With Non-Stop Pilots Here The transcontinental non-stop mon- oplane T-2 and its noted pilots, Lieut. Oakley G. Kelly and Lieut. John A. MacReady, flew into Washington yes. terday from San Dlego, Calif., for the Shrine convention. The world re. nowned plane will be placed on ex hibition near the Lincoln Memorial during the week along with other ex. traordinary aircraft, and the avi tors will entertain the Shriners as well as be entertained. This morning they reported to Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief of the air service, who supplemented his con- gratulatory telegram to the fliers on completion of their non-stop hop from New York to San Diego, with personal greetings. On Wednesday they will be personally complimented == by President Harding -at the White ouse ov which occasion the Presi- dent formally will present to them trophies donated by the Bhrine tem- ple of Dayton, of which the pilots are members. The giant_ monoplane hove into sigat over Washington about 3:15 o'clock yesterday, and circled around the city several (imes before landing at Bolling Field, at 3:32 o'clock. Lieut. Kelly was at the wheel, while Lieut. MacReady was seated in the cabin. Officers at the fleld and from Gen. Patrick’s office warmly greeted them and preparations were made to aec. commodate them during their stay here of several days. The big airplane looked as fresh as though it had just come out of the factory. The standard compression 1liberty motor which was installed .at Dayton and carried the pilots to New York, thencs acrose the continent without stopping and back to Wash- ington, hummed as the best engine that ever took the air. Reports that it collapsed at 8an Diego were de- clared false by Lieut. Keily, who had nothing but the highest praise for it. “We cleaned it up at Dayton Wednes- day” he said, explaining that the cleaning consisted of exterior work only. The flight from San Diego to Wash- Ington required a week and was made in easy stages. The piiots flew only to forencon each day, this plan be- ing adopted due to landing facilities along the route. “The next transcontinental flight will be a cinch” said Lieut. Kelly, *'as we learned a great deal from thi one.* ‘Despite the fact that the two pilots flew farther and longer than any other persons in the world with- out a stop, they declare it to havée been an “easy job” and are not swal- lowed up in the success they accom- plished. en jnformed by Lisut, Courtney Whitney of Bolling Field that their skill as speed pilots (they also hold a record for long-distance speed) would be matched against the fastest fllers in the world, Lieuts. Russell L. Meughan and Lester J. Maitland, in races around Washington during the coming week. laughingly remarked that they could push the De Hav- ilands around the course much faster than their rivals, as “we have been pushing them for a longer time.” On its journey eastward the T-2 hung up another victory that con- vinced the pilots again the superior- ity of the airplane over other pres- ent-day methods of travel. Wald Kelly, brother of the famous flier, let "San Diego by train Thursday night a week ago, while the T-2 took off from San Diego Friday morning. The pilots had dinner in Juarey, slept at El Paso and the next day flew to Lawton, Okla. They went swimming, attended a dinner party and a dance that night. Sunday morning they landed at Kansas City and stayed there the entire day. At 10:30 o'clock that night they went to the station and met the brother, who had been traveling day and night since Thursday. He then proceeded to his home at Grove City, Pa., over which Lieut. Kelly flew on his jour- ney from Dayton yesterday. The National Shrine There was a man who couldn’t see the forest because of the trees. We fear that many Washingtonians are like this man. They cannot see their city because of the trees, its magnificent monuments, its wood- land parks, velvet Mall, beautiful vistas, fascinating prospects and stately architecture—scenes, objects and buildings hallowed by histor- ical association and patriotic devotion. Washington is one of the finest cities in the world! It is the capital of the greatest nation in the world! It is the National Shrine! It’s time to tell the world about it! Time to show the world. Next week 400,000 visitors will be in our city. They are representa- tive citizens of the United States—leaders in business, social and profes- sional life. Their good opinion of us is of incalculable value to Washington. This good opinion is in our hands The business community has done and is doing all within its power to cultivate this good opinion. It now remains for each and every individual to make himself a walk- ing and talking advertisement of Washington, a flesh-and-blood courtesy. If that is done these men and women will return to their respective communities with a new sense of the great destiny of this nation, a fresh conviction that imperial Rome was not so grand as democratic Washington. Inevitably other great conventions will come to this ideal convention city. In this way will our Home Town grow.
