The Natlonal Bureau of Criminal Identification, to accumulate here all information concerning criminals in America, today was one step nearer realization as a result of a confer- ence yesterday at the Department of Justice, attended by offidlals of the department, members of the board of Eovernors of the International A clation of Chiefs of Police, and offi- clals of the bureau-of eriminal ldénti- fication. Announcement had previously been made that the department would or- &anize such a burea, and it was fur- ther stated last night in a formal statement that as a result of the con- ference yesterday, the bureau was “assured." Records, finger-print systems, pho- tographs, Bertilliori measurements and other identification material now in custody of local authorities will be sent to the Department of Justice Wwith a view to general centralization of information. Would Facilitate Work. The gathering of all available data on criminals in one bureau, Attorney General Daugherty said, will facili- tate the work of the police forces ot the country, and at the same time enable the 'federal government to function with greater efficiency in combatting crime throughout the world. “I am confident,” the Attorney Gi eral told those attending the confer- ence, “that when all the valuabl records now reposing in the offices of the police chiefs of the country are co-ordinated and made availabie to the entire police force of the nation at one point, there. will be possibly a diminutien of crime.” In the past, it was explained, when & oriminal was apprehended at San Francisco, and it was desired to ob- tain_any possible record concerning his past’ operations, it has been neces- essary to wire possibly a dozen cities. Oftentimes no record was obtained because it was impossible to cover every city. But with all the records, fingerprints and measurements cen- tralized in one bureau, it will be nec- ry only to communicate with one given point to secure the needed in- formation. Discussed By Officials, Attorney General Daughert: sistant Attorney General Hollond, as- sistant to the Attorney General Sey mour; Willlam J. Burns, director of the bureau of investigation of the Department of Justice, and other offi- cials, discussed the proposed transfer of the criminal data with the heads of the various police systems of the country Who were represented at the conference.

With gems on his satin suspenders he rides in his rich limousine; this planet possesses no splendors for which he can't dig the long green. The people behold him, so stately, and sicken of tilting the soil; “Our labors have wearied us greatly,” they say, “and we'll go in for oil. We're tired of our plowing and drilling, with nothing but rations in yiew; if Bunkstead can make such a killing, we ought to be opulent, $00.” Sh. one may accumulate riches by dealing in leases and wells, allaying greed's longings and itches, and wearing the loudest of bells; where one in his daring’can do it, a thousand will drearily fail; they scare up a ghost and pursue it, the phantom of casy-won kale.

Pleasure Party We haven't yet quite reached the stage where we can go “From the Earth to the Moon Direct in Ninety- seven Hours Twenty Minutes,” as de- scribed in Jules Verne's fascinating book of that title, but several Wash- ingtonians who had never before flown in an airplane have tasted the great delight of travel by air route and are most enthuslastic about it. Thess gentlemen. include Joseph A. Carey, special assistant to Secretary of the Navy Denby; M. Porforio A. Bonet, ex-commercial attache to the Cuban embassy here and now consul general of Cuba to Canada. and Thomas H. Healy, assistant dean of the School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University. The trio made their debut in air vel Thursday in the good ship Neromarine, the All Metal' Airway Expregs, under direction of P. G. Zim- mermann, chief engineer in the de- signing and construction of this fiy- ing boat, and with his brother, Cy Zimmermann as pilot. Mr, Walton, the mechanician, and a representative ot The Star completed the party, which left the naval air station at 10:52 yesterday morning and flew to Nor- folk, Va, arriving there at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. “rhe trip was not made in order to set any speed record or show the stunts of which airplanes and fiying boats are capable, but merely to dem- onstrate the charms of travel via the air, and in this aim the trip was highly successful. In fact, so great was its impression on Mr. Carey that he remained at Hampton roads naval base for a couple of days for inspec- tion purposes and plans to then travel in the plane to New York. Distinguished Passengers. During its stay in Washington this aeromarine plane has carried about 350 civilians frem the.aeronautics de- partment on short hops and has taken such distinguished _passengers - as Secretary Denby. Theodors Clark, secretary to President Coolidge, and Mrs. Clark and Maj. Gen. Patrick of the Army air service. Gen. Patrick acted as pilot during his trip. Mr. and Mrs. Clark had -Intended going on the trip yesterday to Norfolk, but Mr. Clark discovered at the last mo- ment that he could not be spared from the White House, so they had to de- cline. This flying boat is made of the same aluminum alloy as the framework of the ZR-1 and has in its construction many as 40,000 rivets. Although the ship has a maximum speed of 104 miles an hour, the average flying speed on the trip yesterday was be- tween 75 and 80 miles an_hour, The ship flew for the first half of the trip at an average altitude of 1,350 feet, always within gliding dis- tance of the water and giving a fine panoramic picture of the country below. It m't' ten minutes after the start had been made from_the naval alr station before Mount Ver- non lay below the ship and soon aft- er passing that point Mr. Zimmer- mann allowed the ship to glide grace- fully to the river in order to show how easy it was to descend if neces- sary. Although ‘many clouds were piled up in the sky and a teasing sprinkle of rain Ereeted the party when about ‘to hop off, the weather was excellent after the first. few minutes of rain and the air was warm. Descent Near Quantico. , The next descent to the water was made near Quantice, when the pilof showed the enjoyabie qualities of a long glide from a good altitude over a point of land to the water's level. A fair-sized group of oystermen and fishermen viewed this particular ma- meuver with “amusement’ and interest d waved the party on with faintly audible cheer: 2long above the water at a distance of I than ten feet and at a of seventy-five miles an hour. This seemed much greatér fitude than when the ad. c| tude. reason for the !ZYn her alf the ehip skimmed | .umm:uly.,nul it should low flying was a strong head wind which had just arisen, and the rest of the trip to Norfolk was made at low altitude and largely along the shore line. Arriving at Norfolk, the air trip was over, and only such commonplace things as luncheon at the biggest hotel in Norfolk and a trip back to Wash. ington by a boat ghat seemed madden- ingly siow by comparison, even in spite of perfect moonlight on the water, remained for the unfortunates of the party. Not & soul in the group but wanted to travel farther in the easy riding little ship. HEADS TAKOMA PARK HOME AND SCHOOL BODY First Meeting of Organization Names E. W.

BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK September 22—The local poultry trade today completed one of the largest weeks of one of its best years. Shippers say that they ended this last month practically without & profit, although over $100. - 000,000 worth of poultry was handled in this market. Trey place the blame on the buyers, claiming that they have the receivers under complete control and make prices to suit them- selves. The buyers, on the other hand, are equally bitter against the shippers. claiming that it is the custom of many of the latter to overfeed chickens before they are unloaded not only with natural food, but with “appetizers” followed by a mixture of sand, gravel and cement, which re- mains in the crop. Unless a chicken so fed is slaughtered promptly it will die in a few days. Crooked Methods Extensive. Charles Sahn, one of the largest live poultry dealers in the city, states that on some occasions from 3,000 pounds’ weight have been added to & carload of live poultry by stuf- fing with sand and gravel. In making the claim that $100,000.- 000 worth of live poultry is handled here annually witheut & profit, poul- trymen explained that it is the cus- tom of chicken raisers to depend for the major portion of their profit on eggs. Thus they count on each hen to return a profit in eggy by the time she is two vears old, at which time many of them ship their hens to market. The sum received for the hen, therefore, does not measure the amount which the bird has yield- ed her owner. Big Game Bird Shipments. The rigid federal and state laws governing the interstate shipment and sale of game birds has not served to keep such birds out of the focal market, and today eplcures can buy quail as freely—provided they pay the price—as when a game law had still to be heard of. These quail are imported from the Argentine in refrigerator ships, and the business of bringing them tc this country, begun three vears ago, has grown to con- siderable proportions. The principal et is found among the clubs and hotels, which also take the larger part of the fruit arriving here from south of the equator at a time ‘when the American varieties are out {of the market. Mines Making Cheap Copper. There is small question but what the foreign market for American copper has improved materially late- Iy, but producers admit that demand had failed totally to keep pace with the increase of production. Copper is Jower at present than for a long time, being quoted at 133% cents a pound. but that fact is carrying no terror to the large mine owners, many of whom are reported to be making cop- r at better than 8 cents a pound ome of the smaller companies, how- ever, will have difculty in produc- ing at a profit at present prices, and this accounts for the fact that many of the amaller companies are running with amaller forces. Copper producers say _that the European demand is not a drop in the bucket at present. but that Japan's requirements are fairly heavy. Thero is sald to be an inquiry in the mar- ket for twenty million pounds, but this _represents only about one production of Utah copper British Bitter at French. Mest copper men are generally un- easy as to the future of the red metal until_a definite settlement ix had in the Ruhr. They aro far less anxious, however, than the British manufacturers. According to reliable cables received here the coming im- perial conference will be chiefly oc- cupied with consideration of trade protection. That protection British manufacturers feel should be prin- cipally agsinst France. They sav French policy is not only hurting worid trade and keeping England out of world markets, but that French manufacturers, aided by low ex- change, are underselling the English in their home markets. Imports from Lyon and Roubaix have dealt severc blows to the Nottingham lace trade and the Yorkshire woolen trade. The British cotton manufacturers are desperate because of the shortage of raw cotton this year and the high price of the American staple. They are taking desperate steps to secure other gources of supply, but realize this is & matter of years of develop- ment. MAN GETS STIFF PENALTY FOR SELLING WHISKY Fined 8350 or 360 Days in Jail for Second Of- fense. Charles Reed, charged with selling to a government agent a half pint of whisky. for $1, was convicted in the United States branch of Police Court yesterday by Judge Schuldt and sentenced to pay a fine of $300 and in_default to serve 300 days in jail. Reed had previously been convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of $50 or thirty days in jail and then a straight sentence of thirty days in . He had been put on probation for that offense. He has fines aggre- gating 3350 to pay or serve 360 days in jail. RIVER’S NAME ON BRIDGE URGED BY WOMAN WRITER Mrs. L. N. Geldert Asks Step for Public Information and ' Education.
