BOUTH BEND, Ind., September 12. .+—Qulet prevailed in the negro sec- s tion here today, following a night of excitement, which was marked by the ' expdus of between 1,000 and 1,500 megroes from the city, accordlbg to police reports. Extra details of po- lick. who patrolled the city last night * for the purpose of handling any dis- tufbance which might arise, reported mo/untoward incident occurred. The commotion among the negroes followed receipt of a letter by one oflithe members of the community, which was said to nave warned the | negroes an outbreak against them was brewing. The tetter is also said tol have stated that a negro being , held for the alleged slaying of a local policeman was to be taken from the Jail by a mob. " Many of the negro residents became frightened and are said to have fled frgm the city, while others are re- ported’ to have armed themselves. The action of the latter led to the is- sufince of an order by Police Chief Lamrence Lane, stopping the sale of all firearms. ffictals in discussing the situation expressed the opinion that the letter, which was unsigned, was the work of a grank and that no disturbance of importance will occur.

DISPUTE ADIUSTED ON SCHOOL ANES {Board and Commissioners, in Compromise, Select Two Each Afier Parley. THe long-standing dispute between the Commissioners and the board of education over the n®ming of four inew public school buildings has been ottled through a compromise ar- angement, it was learned today in school circles. The adjustment was made at u conference yesterday aft- erncon hetween the Commissioners and Daniel J. Callahan, president of the school Under the four na mission the board. greement two of the smmended by the Com- s were two of four names n by the board. Formal announcement of such an arrangement will be made by President Callahan at the first fall meeting of the school board this aft- rnoon at the Franklin School. Ex-Officials Selected. Pwo of the four names selected by the C oner: which were ap- proved, are Charles Raymond Wal- ker and Lemon Galpin Hine, both for- mer District Commissioners. Mr. Wal- er was Commissioner from January 27, 1888, to February 3, 1890, and Mr. Hine was Commissioner from May 21, 1889, to February 3. 1890, Of the four names recommended by the board those chosen are: Bernard T. Janney, who was connected with the school system from the e until his death January 14, George Bancroft, a former secretary of the Navy, ambassador to the Court t. James and to Germany, and a resident of the District for many years The old Eastern High School, which will open Monday as a junior high school, will be known as the Hine School. The new school in the vi- cinity of Spring road will be called the Walker School. The name of Jan- ney School will b iven to the new billding, which will replace the old Tenley School, while the new building, in Ingleside, will be known as the Bancroft School. Reject Submitted Names. Names for the four new schools werafirst, gubmitted to the Commis- sioners for their approval early in the ground that they did not include former District government officials. With the rejection the board received @ list of names for these buildings repared by the Commissioners in B "ot those recommended by the board. At its meeting April 11, however, the board declined to accept the the names chosen by the Commis- sioners and insisted that the names it had originally selected be approved. The board at this time held that the policy of naming schools for persons in one official group is ndbt a procedure which recognizes the fundamental principles, upon which the decision should be based. The two names selected by the board, which were not approved um- der the compromise agreement are Joseph J. Darlington and John B. Henderson. Mr, Darlington was a former member of the school board and a prominent Washington at- torney, while Mr. Henderson was a United States Senator from Missouri and a delegate to the pan-American conference and was long identified with the development of the District.

J, September 12 —Uncle Sam's giant naval dirigible, the ZR-1, lay in her barnlike hangar today with every stay and wire in her frame as taut and ship-shape as they were yesterday when she left on her epoch-making trip of eleven and one- half hours. Her officers and officials of the naval air station, elated at the great ship's performance, declared another trip probably would be essayed next Sunday. They announced themselves ratisfied in every detail of the derig- ible’s behavior in flight, during which she paid stately, majestic visits to New York and Philadelphla, and gave glimpses of her regal, stately self to a half score cities of New Jersey. Not a mishap occurred, although the ship was subjected to MoSt gevere tests. With all six engines running. though not a full specd, the ZR-1 made sixty miles an hour at times. On onme oc- casion she rose to an altitude of 7,000 feet, the hignest she has yet one. Could Have Brought Panie. Commander Ralph Weyerbacher, U. 8. N, designer, builder and com- mander of the dirigible, in a state- ment published today in the New York Tribune, declares that had the aerial superdreadnaught flown over Uew York on a warllke errand it would have been-an easy matter to have destroyed public bulldings, smashed great holes in the crowded streets and reduced the metropolis to a state of panic. “Had we carried the five tons of high explosives the ZR-1 can float we could have dispatched the guns of Forts Hamilton and Wadsworth and lifted the seagoing Aquintania from in the harbor,” he wrote. “I could not we circled Manhattan what grievious destruction may be wrought by aerial bombing over large citfes, it such floating battleships as the ZR-1 can be developed to a point where they can successfully resist counter attack.

The prime function of this and similar airships is to act as a long- distance eye the Navy, The ZR-1 was designed as a wide ranging scout, to scour the Seas in time of war for signs of enemy fleet movements. “The whole trip covered nearly 800 miles over the Atlantic seaboard, and it was a tremendous success, We had proved to the satisfaction of our own officers at least that the largest airship in the world, designed and built entire- ly America, of American-materials and with American hands, can be—flown with entire safety and maneuvered as an effective arm of the Navy.” BORER PEST NOT SERIOUS. Reports to the War Department from the Panama Canal Zone show that attacks upon canal structures by “marine berer’ pests recently, have been confined to an.old pler erected by the French company and that there has been no damage to the modern equipment of the canal.

A “fighting committee,” consisting of twenty-five members, was appoint- ed and Instructed to do all in its power to nip any plans to make Seat Pleasant a boxing center. Reply from Governor. Discussion of the subject brought out several complications. First, Gov. Ritchie of Maryland, ia a letter read at the meeting in answer to a protest against the proposed fights, stated that the matter was out of his | jurisdiction and that it should be taken up with the local authorities and the state boxing commission. Second. The person alleged to be the promoter of the forthcoming fights is said to have rented the land on which the ring has been construct- ed from Robifison White of Seat Pleasant and to have obtainad permis- sjon to procure this land from the Maryland Park Athletic Club, It hav- ing had first lease rights. rther, this individual is said to have already obtained permission to stage the bouts from the state boxing com- missicn. Third. Mr., White, when he rented hie property, is said to have had no jknowledge of any arrangements for prize fights and that he is opposed to them in general. Near School Buildl One of the strongest objections raised at the meeting to the proposed boxing center was that the site for thebouts was directly across the road- way from the proposed site for a new school bullding. The “fighting committee” was In- structeéd to meet at the school Friday to decide on the best course of pro- cedurs in preventing the promotion of prise fights in the Seat Pleasant community. The committee includ John J. Hall, W, A. Tucker, Charles Bergdorf, Thomas H. Unsworth, Charles Thorne, Rev. Jared Hayden, Rev. Seh‘vlllltnblrfi Rev. H. W. Riviere, Rev. W, H. Richardson, Rev.

COOLIDGE CALLED FIRM WORLD COURT BACKER {Continued from First Page). mittes on foreign relations. A ma- Jority of the committee is categorical- ly sald to be against the court and in Tfavor of never reporting it out of ! their hands for action on the Senate floor. It President Coolidge, as the irrecon- cllables have credited him with an intention of doing, p. mitted the for- eign relations committee thus to bury the court, he would in effect be con- niving at its interment. That, this writer @ very definitely assured, is exactly what he ¢ es not intend to do. Will Use Friendly Plan. Mr. Coolidge, for a variety of reasons, is not likely to engage in political fisticuffs with senators on the court Issue. When they begin to drift into Washington for the first session of the Sixty-eighth Congress his reputed purpose is to labor with them. Through his presiding-officer- ship of the Senate the President has many &nd strong ties there. He will utilise them to secure pasesge of the court program. He, of course, will command a very considersble democratic support for it. President Harding had to rely heavily on democratic votes in the Senate for a two-thirds ratification majority for the Washington confer- ence treaties. The present admini | tration will not scorn opposition sup- port on the forthcoming occasion any more than Mr. Harding did in March, 1922, On’ another “Harding policy” Presi- dent Coolidge will stick to the letter | and spirit of his pledge, uttered in the earliest hours after his predecessor's death. Mr. Coolidge will veto any sol- diers’ bonus measure that does not carry with it provision for its own financing. In other words, unless there {s a sales tax provigion or some- thing equally effective President Coo- ltdge will adhere to the “Harding policy” of opposing the bonus. Mellon's Stand Unchanged. Andrew W fellon, it was currentiy understood, would have left the sec- retaryship of the Treasury had Mr. Harding signed a bonus bill that did not sustain itself. Mr. Mellon would hardly remain in the Coolidge cabinet under any other circumstances. The iloss of Mr. Mellon's co-operation in his administration is one of the last things Calvin Coolidge is thinking about. Not many weeks before President Harding died he expressed to an inti- mate friend complete and even ve- hement indifference as to “party ha mony” if it depended upon his aban- doning the world court. “The sooner we break up if we have to go to smash on that igsue the better,” was what President Harding said, in- ef- fect. There is no_suthority for say- ing that Calvin Coolidge holds those views. But that he intends “going to bat” for the court before the next Christmas snows have fallen—on that score this writer believes there is not the shadow of a doubt. (Copyright, 1928.)
