Perhaps the most spectacular event of the morning’s program was the bombing attack on a tiny battle- | ship target moored in the Potomac A short distance from Hamme's point At 10:50 o'clock a squadron of F-5-L ecouting and bombing planes took off from the station with sev- eral nowspaper men aboard. They flew down to Mount Vernoni in for- mation, circled that place and land- ed a short distance below Alexan- dria. At 11:12 o'clock they took the air and, aligning themselves one he hind the 6ther—in column—bore down on the target with amoke hombe, each plane dropping one as it, pasked over ihe iarget They then broke their formation and returned to Alexandria, allgning themselves this time in two sections of three pianes each. This time they attacked the target once more with a bomb apiece. As the target hove into sight it could be seen from the air that the entire section of Hains' Point was smothered in the smoke. Battle in Air, Once more the planes returned to Alexandria, time forming a dia- mond-shaped _sormation. As they paEsed over the clouds of smoke each ship dropped two more bombs and| then broke preparatory to landing. At about this time four pursuit planes from the alr station at Anacostia took off to attack a homber. A quartet of similar planes im- mediately hopped off the Langley for a counter attack and then folloived & mimic battle of the air Drops 4,000 Feet in Parachute As the hombers arrived over their targets for the last time six torpedo planes, each carrying a torpedo, hopped off for Alexandria and an Fal. from the statfon went up and laid a smoke screen over and around the atreraft_carrier From behind this sereen and in full view of the crowds that were on the seawalls the torpedo planes dived and launched their weapons.

CLASS RULE THREAT SEEN BY MARSHALL Former Vice President Says People Must Act to Stay Its Growth. closed the exgwsition ever n the form of a By the Associnted Press HAMILTON, Ohlo, June 6.—Thomas R. Marshall, former Vice President of the United States, declared there is a menace of class legislation in a commencement address here toda “Laws ought to he far removed trom the storm and tumuit of politi- cal and economlc life,” he eaid. “The old American order was an order of representative government consisting of three branches, one to make laws, one to interpret them, one to execute them. Tt was an effort to remove law-making, law-prosecution and law-enforcing from the sudden burst of anger and passion that sway the minds and judgment of the hest of men. People's Problem. “It i8 up to the American people soon to determine whether they care to maintain this old-fashioned tem of government which preser the life, .liberty and property of citizens, or whether they are about to plunge 'themselves into the experi- ment of a pure democracy. where the hifting tides of the passion of self- interest or class-interest vary stand- ards from day to day “The new idea of democracy in- evitably tends to legislation by clases, and once the classes have ob- tained control of government, then ! some one class will take charge of affairs. and that will be the ending of democracy. The tyranny of a class is just as inimical to the rights of the people as the tyranny of a single man sitting as the representative of an unlimited monarchy.” CHAUFFEUR IS BLAMED IN WOMAN’S SLAYING Husband Tries to Link Driver With Den* of Wife—Witnesses Say Money Was Cause.
