2 COOLIDGE T0 HEAR " OF SCHODL NEEDS, Committee Chairman to Re- port Results of Recent Sur- vey of D. C. System. President Coolidge will.be famillar- fzed with the needs of tie District public schools Lefore Congress con- venes, it was announced today by David Babp, chairman of the com- mittes on school expansion of the Public School Association. Data to be presented to the President, it was said, will be based on a recent survey ©of the school system. Suggestions for enlarging the school plant, program and personnel and a comparison of Washington's with the school systems of other cities of like size will be outlined to the general meeting of the associa- tion at the Franklin School building tomorrow at 8 p.m. Proposes City-Wide Campaign In addition, Mr. Babp's committee will propose a eity-wide educational campaign to inform parents of the needs of the schools, a special me- morfal to all members of the Dis- trict committees of the House and Senate and tc the budget director. These proposals will be dlscussed by the general association and, if, ap- proved, will be carried out In ' the next two months. “We are co-operating with the board of education and the superin- tendent of sehools,” Mr. Babp said, “but they are handicapped by lack of funds and lack of information on the part of the persons who make the appropriations. believes that if “Our committee there is to be proper expansion of Washington’s schools there must be & campaign of educatiom on the needs."” €ommittee Reports Listed.

Seeks Clheaper Fertilizer. Thirty or fifty millions of dollars’ worth of such credit, providing ad- ditioral markets, would be a great telp to the farmers today. He in- sisted that the American farmer to- day is alive to the need of additional foreign markets to sell his crops to a ETeater extent than aay one else. Mr. Sliver laid great stress upon the need of reduction of the costs of pro- ductlon to the farmer, including fer- tilizer, freight rates and labor. He £aid that if the farmer could be as- sured cheaper fertilizer through the operation of Muscle Shoals aad the yroduction of nitrates at lower prices, 3t would result in greatly increased production per acre, redaced labor, und enable the American farmers to compets with the world in far better €hape than at present. Mr. Weymouth alse said he was op- yosed % a special session of Congress at this time. The farmer IS suffering, Ye sald, particularly from high freight rates asd from high taxation, not mlone federal, but state. Says Better Serviee Needed. Mr. Hiliott, who has been a friend bf the Presfdent for the last ten wears, expressed the opinion that the need 'of the farmer was not lower freight rates, but better rallroad service, so that he could ship Ris crops to the market when he needed 10 do so. Se said that he himself had for years been engaged in the cattle business in Montana, growing wheat, #nd raising fruit farther west, and knew what he was talking about. “There are just two ways to han. dle transportation in this country. said Mr. Elllott. “One is for the gov- ernment to own and operate the rail- xoads, to which 1 as £ citizen ami op- posed, and the other is for the citi- zens to pay the railroads, privately operated, enough money to enable them to live and to make the needed extensions and give the service de- pired. The great development of the country has been largely due to the railroads, and the country needs to have the roads still further bullt up.” Favors Consolidation. Mr. Elllott sald that he belleved in voluntary consolidation of the Failroads systems of the country, and that the roads should be givem full opportunity to bring about such mergers. He did not belleve, how- ever, that compulsory merger could Ve Brought about. Mr. Ellfott has been meeting with other members of thel Chamber of Commerce of the United States on this question within the last few days, he sald.

Heavy enrollments marked the opening last night of Washington's evening public schools for the scho- lasila year of 1923-1924. Figures) compliled today by Walter B. Patter- son, director of the night schools, showed that 3,616 students were placed on the rolls last night, 1,470 of whom are colored. Although comparative statistics were not available, Mr. Patterson ex- pressed the bellef that the enroll- ment was as large as on the opening night last year. By the close of the first week the enrollment 1s expected to exceed that of last year. A diploma and certification to col- lege offered graduates of the even- ing schools, together with the pro- gressive cosmopolitan plan on which night schools are being conducted this year for the first time, in the opinion of Mr. Patterson, will attract many persons who heretofore Rave not attended these institutions. Business High School, as usual, en- rolled the largest number of students last night. The figures show that 1,061 were registered for the new term. ~ McKinley was next with an enrollment of 733. The Hine Junior High School, formerly the old East- ern, enrolled 268. The Park View School had an enrollment of 40, the smallwoud School and the schook on Conduit road 11 The Amerlcanization classes, which also. opened last night for the new term, envolled 149 students. Several factors, Mr. Patterson said, precluded a larger enrollment—the Jowish holi- day and the custom of older students not to report until the second night of school. Virtually all of these en- rolled last night, it was said, are new students and before the week ends the officlals expect at least 100 addi- tlonal students in the Americaniza- tion night classes. 11 FISHERMEN SAVED.

By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, Mo., October 2.—The United States is far behind in avia- tion progress, Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief of the Army air serv- ice, declared in an address at the an- nual banquet last night of the Na- tional Aero Congress, which is being {held here in conjunction with the in- lmuunu alr races. “America. was once first in the air, when two of her gifted sons, the Wright brothers, taught the world to fly,” he sald. “But now we are woefully be- hind, and other nations are taking the place In the development and prog- Tess of aviation that we should Have and rightfully- deserve.’ Asks More Money. The general made an earnest plea for support from Congress for in- creased appropriations which would enable the alr service to keep reason- ably abreast of foreign powers in aviation. Dwight Davis, assistant secretary of war and personal representative of President Coolidge, warned that America Is in imminent peril through the deterioration of its alr ferce. Ha revealed that through diminishing support from Congress since the world war armistice air service equip- ment and personnel have so decreased that by 1925 the Army will be 1,400 airplanes deficient even 'for the skeleton organization at present au- thorized by Congress. THe naturs of the industry la such, he sald, that it requires from eleven to elghteen months for the conmstruction of the necessary afrcraft needed by America In event war were declared and an gnemy power should attempt an in- sfon. Opposes Legion Proposal. Referring to the American Legion's proposal for a limitation of air arma- ment, Rear Admiral W. A. Moffett, chief of the naval bureau of aero- nautics, declared that such a proposal would hamper ‘the development of a vehicle useful to civilization. He sald that the matter was considered by both the Army and Navy at the Iimi- tation of arms conference at Wash- ington and it was decided that if it were carried out it would sound the death knell for American aviation. Admiral Mofett predicted that avi- ation would bring Europe to America in three days Instead of five, the time now required by ocean liners, and that China would be reached in from three to four days. America, he added has a great opportunity in the devel- opment of such craft as the ZR-1 be- eause her tests are far reaching and will have a tremendous effect on future transportatien. Alr Mafl to Be Ineremsed. Paul Henderson, second assistant postmaster general, in charge of the air mail service, announced that early next spring the Post Office Department would inaugurate day and night fly- ing between New York and San Fran- cisco. He sald that the department expected to make the daily trip from coast to coast in twenty-seven hours on the westward journey and thirty hours coming east, the difference in time being the result of the prevalling westerly winds. Howard E. Coffiin of Detroit, who was re-elected president of the Na- tional Aeronautical 'Association, paid a tribute to Orvile Wright and said that aviation still is in its infancy. Mr.- Coffin _previously had an- nounced that he would not be a can- didate to succeed himself, and, ac- cording to members of the nominat- ing committee, W. Frank Carter of St. Louis had been offered the presi- deney of the organization. Mr. Car- ter, however, deciined the nomina- tion on the grounds that his age and other interests prohibited his accept- ing, A lvely fight ensued which de- veloped a deadlock for the nom- inatlon Batween F.

SENATOR-ELECT JOHNSON ON WAY TO WASHINGTON (Continued from First Page.) BIG BOMBER LOST Vainly at St. Louis—Navy Men Confident. By a Staft Correspondent. ST. LOUIS FLYING FIELD, St. Louls County, Mo., Ogtober 2.—A Mar- tin bomber, the largest type of active heavy-service ships in the Army afr service, has been lost in this vicinity, and for days its pilot has been asking the question: “Have you seen my bomber?” Lieut. Leslie P. Arnold, photo offi- cer of Bolling Field, t» entered in the race of large-capacity planes for the merchants’ exchange trophy, but he has no ship to fly, unless he finds it between now and Friday afternoon, when his event is scheduled to go on. Having given up hope of finding it, Lieut. Arnold now {s walting until someboby brings it to him. Aeronautical superstitution has just about destined Lieut. Arnold to de- feat. A short time ago the plane he is to fly was flown up to Bolling Field by Lieut. Cole, and then dropped in & fleld near Charles Town, W. Va. with a broken motor. Several other hard-luck incidents have connected themselves with it since, and now the ship, far from being iu racing con- dition, wherever it is, has disappeared. Wait for Dry Fleld. Army, Navy and Marine Corps pilots at the’ field here are marking time while the sun tries to work overtime and get the soggy fleld into condition for the. big events of Thursday, Fri- day and Saturday. There is very little fiying; about the only opera- tions today of any note being the test filght of Lieut. Guy B. Hall, Marine Corps, of Quantico, Va., in the UO-1-A Vought observation plane. Lieut. R. J. Brown, who is partlel- pating in preparations for the round- the-world fiight of the Army alr serv-, ice next summer, arrived here today, and, although he is scheduled to fly a special Douglas torpedo “job” in the races, has been placed In charge of publicity for the Army pilots. Lieut. Brown is of the opinion: that his ship will not be delivered here in time for the races. The four Navy and Marine Corps pilots from Anacostia, D.

One-half of the world's laurels in aviation are now in possession of the naval alr statien, and, according to the Navy meN hero, the other half will be within a week. “Army money is scarce around town,” according to the Navy crowd. On the other hand, the Army does not concede defeat at this early stage, but it claims that should its sister service take the Pulitzer trophy the victory will be due to what was learned from the Army’s development of pursuit planes iast year, plus a little money.

Some {nterest is apparent in Army camps over the rumor that the mo- tors of two Navy speed plane en- trants will not be able to withstand the terrible grind of 125 miles at full turnover and that the Queer-looking ship of McCook Field, known as the Verville-Sperry, and to be fiown Lieut. Alex Pearson, “will be hearg from.” In order to prevent the local en- thusiasm over. the air meet from being killed by the absence of activi- tles, it was decided to throw a small air exhibition for the public Wednes-~ day afternoon. No Bolling Field pilots will participate, but flyers from other fields will give an exhibition of formation fiying and other military maneuvers. Two features of the re- cent Bolling Field air carnival wiil be included—the flight of the famous T-2 by Lieut.

While the Army devoted much of its available funds to development of the ships which established world records for speed in the races a year ago, the Navy took over the single-seatér developments this year, leaving the Army free to work with hembing and observation planes. For that reason Army air service officials expect the Navy speed planes at St. Louis to find their calef competitors in the Italian entries. SPAIN’S REVENUE JUMPS.

With and About i | CAPITAL’S GUESTS Less nolse in the back of the hall, please! The chair recognizes the great sovereign commonwealth of Ar- { kansas, and Col. Harmon L. Remmel, republican national committeeman of that state, has the floor. : “It was not only my pleasure to second- the nomination of President | Coolldge for the vice presidency at the 1920 convention, but I was a mem- ber of the committee sent to North- |ampton to notify him of his selec- itlon,” sald the genlal southerner as { he packed his bag at the Hotcl Wash- ington to leave for his Little Rock home. “I am confident that Arkansas !will favor his nomination to succeed himself at the 1924 convention. He is a splendid type of American, a most capable Executive and the ideal choice of the party.” {_Col.” Remmel had just left the White House, where he had gone to discuss with President Coolidge a plan to induce colored labor to remain in the south. He had previously ob- tained the hearty co-operation of { President Harding and said that his successor was mow. €rvorable to the | suggestion. “It has come to a pass” said tho . Arkansan, “when something must be done to stop the flow of emigration of the colored man to the north Trainloads of workers are being ship- ped daily from Mississippi, Georgia and other southern states, and unless sensibie action is taken to show the emigrants the folly of their mov both the south and those leaving wil be the sufferers in the end.” Col. Remmel proposes that a com- mission of five colored men, the most representative of the race, be appoint- ed to travel through the affected sec- tions and truthfully explain to their people the many pitfalls to be encoun- tered by leaving thelr homes. “It is not fair to the workers,” continued the southerner, “as they little dream of what Iies ahead of tnem.” The Little Rock man also received {the President’s indorsement of the Baptist memorial now being erected in Lis home town to the late Chief Execu- tive, and was advised to enlarge the contemplated wins of a hospital into an entire building. This will probably be done, as more than $150,000 has al- ready been subscribed. Col. Remmel is president of the Bankers' Trust Company of Little Rock, and during the war acted as chairman of the “Four-Minute Men of Arkansas,” a body that put the state over the top in all financial appeals. New Jersey! “Woodrow Wilson will be the dominating spirit in the next democratic national convention, and if he but says the word can have the nomination for the asking.” Thus spoke Redmond F. Kernan, old-line democratic politiclan of the “Wet-as- the-ocean” state, as sauntered through the lobby. of Shoreham Hotel. Mr. Kernan Is_positive the standing issue in New York Jersey will be prohibition up our way joke the nattons, nmigration, tariff like, but close up 1i when it comes to the wet and dry question” said the jovial Jerseyite. “Persor ally, T am in favor of keepin country dry, !domination by the brewer and tiller, but I must say that e ment of the law has become farcie and is breeding much discontent America.” Continuing, Mr. Kernan glowing tribute to Gov.

He also was most en- thusiastic over President Coolidg “I am a democrat, but let me here I think the present Chief Execu- tive the strongest man In the G. O. P. I know him personally and hold in the. highest regard. He has th combined characteristics of Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson and Samuel Bowles, the noted republican editor, with the Cal Coolldge determination dominating all. He is bound to be nominated by his party.” h. the out- 1 New People league of and the aid th And now Massachusetts—Mr. Hen- nesey has the floor. “I have known President Coolidge ever since he came to the Massachusetts house of repre- sentatives in 1907,” said Michael . Hennesey, for the past thirty vears local, state and poltical writer of the Boston Globe, as he unpacked his belongings at the Lee House. “He took his job as state representa- i fously—just as he has taken public_duty, since. He did the work then just as he does it to- day at the White House. There is no Imystery about Calvin Coolidge or his success in public life. Ho has alwa given the public the best he had. 'As a coileague in the Massachusetts legislature once said, ‘Cal’s cold on the outside, but a warm heart beats within.’ He wears well. He grows on one. He'll prove himself to be one of our great Presidents. His rugged honesty, I simplicity, his stralghtforwardness and his loyalty to old friends are outstand- ing traits of his character. “If the republican party can't win with him it can't win with anybody. That he will be nominated to succeed himself I have no doubt.” Few newspaper men know the Chief Executive better than Mr. Hennesey. He began rubbing shoulders with him back in 1 when he “covered” Buz- zard’s Bay, the summer home of Presi- dent Cleveland, for his paper, and has personally known every President since. Mr. Taft referred to him as “the_polit- ical custodian of Massachusetts,” and Col. Roosevelt regarded him as one of his close newspaper friends, He accompanied President Coolidge to Washington from Plymouth, Vt, when Be succeeded to the office and his story of the President, “From a New England Farm to the Vice Presidency,” is con- sidered the most complete biography of the Chief Executive up to the time he was elected as Mr. Harding’s running mate.

K. Seggeman, who, before the enactment of the Volstead law, was one of the largest tmporters of wines and liquors in the metropolis, and who is making a short stay at the Hotel La Fayette. . “For the good of all the people I think prohibition best,” said Mr. Seg- geman. “My boys have stopped drink- ing since the law went into effect, and their children will know nothing about liquor. No, I can see no way of modifying the law—it is the law. and that ends it. Liquor was horri- bly abused in Ameriga and the vast majority is against it.
