$10,000,000. PARK PROGRAM OUTLINED Tlazen Is Preparing Report on Ex- tension to Be Presented to Bell. PROJECT COVERS TEN YEARS Total Area of 2,352 Acres Included in Proposals. A program of proposed park exten- sion in all sections of the District that might be considered by the . mewly created National Capital Park ‘ Commission will be outlined by Mel- vin C. Hazen, city surveyor, in a re- ;port he is preparing for Engineer "Commissioner Bell. . Surveyor Hazen's. outline shows “that if the new commission gets an appropriation of $1,000,000 a year it will_take more than ten years to carry out the projects he lists, many of which have been advocated a num- ber of vears. The act creating the new commission provides that the an- nual appropriation for park develop- ment in and around Washington shall mot be at a higher rate than 1 cent for cach inhabitant of the United States, which would make a maxi- mum allowance of $1,000,000. Puts Cost at $10,000.000. The proposals listed by Mr. Hazen cover a total area of 2,352 acres and would cost between nine and ten mil- lions. He includes the acquisition of the Piney Branch, Klingle Valley and Patterson parkways, which have been considered by the appropriations com- mittees of Congress several years, but have always failed to go through. 1t is feared that if they are mot xoon acquired they will be taken up by building operations. Another project he emphasizes is the purchase of the necessary land o create the long-discussed boule- vard connecting the chain of old civil war forts that dot the border lines of the District Preservation of the palisades of the upper Potomac as a stretch of natural scenery and systematic de- velopment of the Washington chan- nel river front are recommended. Addition to Glover Tract. A comparatively new project rec- ommended by Mr. Hazen is the pur- chase of the additional ground need- ed to extend the Glover parkway south to the palisades. Charles C. Glover recently deeded to the District more than seventy- seven acres of ground along Foundry Branch northwest for the park which bears his name, and Mr. Hazen be- lieves the new park commission should use this donation as the nucleus for a larcer park. In his capacity as surveyor, Mr. Hazen has for a number of years emphasized in his annual reports to the Commissioners the necessity of taking some steps to establish parks in that part of the District lying out- side the old city limits. o COOLIDGE-DAWES CLUB CLAIMS HONOR Republican State Committee of District Says Organization Is Initial Project. Washington togay lavs claim to the distinction of being the first city in the TUnited States to organize a Coolidge- Dawes Club. The execytive committee of the Re- publican state committee of the District of Columba, the accredited Republican or- ganization of this city, met at the head- quarters of the latter. 1324 New York avenue, last night, and immediately upon Teceipt of the news from the Cleveland convention to the effect that Brig. Gen. Charles (;. Dawes had been chosen as the running mate for President Calvin Coolidge, proceeded to organize a cam- paign club to function throughout the coming campaign. The Coolidge-Dawes Club will displace the Harding-Coolidge Club, which was one of the first clubs of that name or- ganized in 1920, and which did effective work during that campaign. The latter acquired a membership of 1.100 men and women of the District, but those who are behind the new organization are convinced that the Coolidge-Dawes Club will double that membership. Complete Harmony Urged. Samuel J. Prescott. chairman of the Republican state committee, who only returned yesterday morning from Cleveland. presided at last night's meeting and preliminary to the or- ganizing of the new club he pointed out the necessity for sound organ- ization and complete harmony. The officers of the new club elected last night are: President, T. Lincoln Townsend; vice presidents, Louis Addison Dent, Joshua Evans, jr., and Mrs. Virginia White Speel; secretary, Fred . Spaulding: assistant secre- tary, Miss Florence Frazier Stiles treasurer, Harry Wardman, and as- sistant_treasurer, Hubbert H. Quinter. Mr. Townsend. who will dirgct the destinies _and the work of the Coolidge-Dawes Club, is credited with being largely responsible for the or- ganization of the Harding-Coolidge Club. Dent Succeeded Townwend. Mr. Dent, elected vice president, who succeeded Mir. Townsend as head of the Harding-Coolidge Club when the latter resigned shortly after the victorious election of the ticket to serve on the inaugural committee, which was afterwards abandoned when President-elect Harding de- cided he did not wish any demonstra- tion to mark the ocecasion of his “ntering office. served as president of that organisation during the remain- der of its life. Mr. Evans, another of the vice residents. is one of the vice presi- lents of the Riges National Bank and was prominent in the Harding-Cool- “ige Club. Mrs. Speel, the remaining vice president eld a similar posi- tion with the rding-Coolidge Club and for the past four years has been the recognized leader among the Re- publican women of the District. She also is president of the League of Re- publican Women of the District, vice president of the Republican State \'folf)lrs' ‘All(ll‘lltlo;l and is a member of e l.eague of Republican Clubs of the District, © v National Committee Advined. Immediately following the organi- zation work last night and the elec- tion of officers the exeoutive com- mittee wired the Republican national committee of the new club. In the telegram to the national committee, under whose auspices the new club will function, it was ex- plained that the “objects of this or- “anization shall be to advocate, maintain and promote the principles of the Republican party as enumer- ated in the platform adopted by the Republican national econvention of 1924: to direct and interest those re- siding in the District of Columbia to their political duties; to aid and con- tribute to the election of: the nom- inees and candidates of the Repub- lican party.

CHRIS DUNPHY LEADS GOLF FIELD OF 360 IN COLUMBIA TOURNEY Shooting a score but two over par and playing his irons with the uncanny accuracy of a Chick Evans at his best, Chris J. Dunphy led a field of more than 360 golfers, who teed off in the Columbia Country Club's spring golf tournament qualifying round. with & card of 72, six shots in front or Nor- man Macbeth, - California star, and Roland MacKenzie, youthful crack of the home club. Dunphy played yes- terday, when conditions were better than on the first qualifying day, but at the same time he played over a course that was slow and sogEY through the fairways, with all the long holes two full shots and more. George J. Voigt, municipal links champion, was in fourth place with 79, while bracketed at 81 were Walter R. Tucflermann, Mil- ler B. Stevinson and Karl F. Keller- man, jr.

He got a deuce ?llhe eighth and was out.in 34. Two bs and ail the rest 4s accounted for a 38 In, to lead the feld by a very comfortable margin.

Alone throughout the day, with nothing to entertain and amuse her, a eventy-five-year-old- blind woman, in dire financial circumstances, ap- pealed to The Star today, through a friend, for one of the radio sets do- nated to the “shut-in fund.” She is sanguine that the entertainment which the ether provides will drive the loneliness and sadngss out of her weary life. A letter describing the blind wom- an's case read: “She is living with her daughter, who is absent from home every day in the week until 6 or 7 p.m. She sits there all alone, no one to talk to, no one to attend to her wants—just waiting for the return of her daughter. She is a refined, cul- tured person, and unfortunately lacks the means for supplying a radio set. Oh! how I wish that she might have a radio set.” Many Touching Appeals. The blind woman is only one of the many whom a radio set would bring a ray of sunshine and alleviate suf- fering. The stories of the conditions in the homes of many of these “shut- ins" who have appealed for radio sets touch the very heart of every one who is interested. Nearly two weeks ago The Star began a campaign to place a radio set at the bedside of every real ‘shut-in” and invalid in the Dis- trict. Radio fans and charitably in- clined persons have responded gen- erously to the appeals for sets for these unfortunates and money with which to purchase the necessary equipment for installation. A total of $304.75 and 108 sets, in addition to twenty-eight pairs of headphones, sixty aerial poles and other equipment. have been turned in to the fund. More sets, however, are needed to meet the demand, which is growing daily. Any type of a crystal set is wanted DAWES TAKES PLACE LIKE “GO0D_SOLDIER” Cancels Return to Private Life for Good of G. 0. P, Friends Say. By the Asociated Press CHICAGO, June 13.—Nomination by the Republican party of Gen. Charles G. Dawes of “Hell and Maria” fame, as its choice to preside over the United States Senate with its comple- ment of la Follette-Brookhart men, did not come as a surprise to the general's friends here and many Re- publican leaders over the country. Before Fred Upham, Illinois' new national committeeman, started for the Cleveland convention, where he resigned the national treasurership, it became known that Mr. Upham was personally for Gen. Dawes. Gen. Dawes personally did not want the nomination, “but like a good sol- dier.” his friends said today, he ac- cepted it for the good ot his party. The general had, previous to the con- vention, frequently assected that he did not' want to be Vice President— heihad only returned a few weeks ago from, his successful labars in framing the reparations experts’ report, and he was anxious to get back to his home in Evanston and attend to his business affairs. He had given up his personal affairs to serve the na- tion during the war and again as di- rector of the budget Harding took office, and still later ac- cepted the reparations task. + Stormed at Publieity. So personally opposed to receiving a public office was the general that he frowned and even almost stormed against any preconvention publicity mentioning his name in connection with the vice presidency. “Nominate Lowden,” was the gen- eral's method of turning the spotlight toward former Gov. Frank O. Lowden. The former governor, however, re- joiced last night when informed that Gen., Dawes had been named. Today at the general's office in the Central: Trust Gompany of Illinois, the bank of which he is chairman of the board, great stacks of telegrams of congratulation were being received from all over the country. One message from a New York friend after enthusiastically present- ing his satisfaction, added: “Modified congratulations to_ Mrs. Dawes, who has my sympathy.” For Mrs. Dawes was more opposed to the thought of glving up her beautiful Evanston home to live in ‘Washington, should the Coolidge- Dawes ticket be successful, than was the general. The general, who has been spend- ing the week at Marietta College in Ohio, where he was graduated, quiet- Iy enjoying the full week of com- mencement exercises and incidentally dodging the Cleveland convention, is expected home tomorrow. WILL RESUME TRIALS. Police Jury to Be Paid When Money Is Available. At a conference today between Judge John P. McMahon and Assist- ant District Attorneys Ralph Given, David A. Hart and Thomas E. Lodgé of the Police Court it was arranged that jury trials, which have been sus- pended for lack of money to pay the juries, because of the failure of the third deficiency bill, will be resumed Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next week. The jury panel, which® qualified in May for three months' service, and which has been trying cases until the money became exhausted, was dis- charged several days ago. The panel now will return to service next week, but services rendered the government will not receive compensation until the deficiency bill has been passed by Congress. It is understood that this arrangement has been approved by the District of Columbia Commission- ers, upon the advice of Auditor Dono- van. The three days set aside for jury trials next week will be divided be- tween violations of the prohibition law, Wednesday and Thursday, while Friday will be divided between liquor cases and others handled by the office of Assistant District Attorney Given.

High Officials Here Among Convention Audience by Radio Administration officials who re- mained in ‘Washington, from President down. generally at- tended the Republican national convention at Cleveland by radio, being among the most attentive listeners-in. The President and Mrs. Coolidge watched the ballot- ing closely, as did others, includ- ing Secretary Hoover.

CLEVELAND, June 13.—The Dis- trict’s delegation, headed by William T. Galliher, left here late last night to return to Washington, well satis- fied with the work of the Republican national convention, except for the failure of the resolutions committee and the convention to inlude in the party platform the District's national representation plank. On the third and final ballot_for Vice President last night the Dis- trict’'s two votes were cast for Gen. Charles G. Dawes. On the first bal- lot one vote of the District went to Watson of Indiana and one to Burton of Ohio, and the delegation voted the same way on the second ballot, but joined with the other delegations when an effort was made to make the election of former Gov. Frank O, Lowden unanimous. Edward F. Colladay, re-elected Re- publican committeeman for the Dis- trict, has been called to California by the death of his father and was un- able to attend the reorganization meeting of the national committee here today.

LUMBER BUYS TOLD TO FRAUD SUIT JURY Witnesses Admit Getting Choice ‘Wood at Less Than Market Quotation. The prosecution today continued the introduction of evidence of buy- ers and lumber experts at the trial of the alleged lumber fraud case before Jurtice Bailey and a jury in Criminal Division_2 of the District Supreme Court. Four such witnesses were ex- amined. Ira Scheifley of the American Wood Rim Company of Onaway, Mich., told of buying 2,500,000 feet’ of walnut lumber from Frank T. Sullivan of Buffalo, N. Y., one of the defendants, in June, 1920. He identified the In- voices showing that he paid $300 per thousand for some of the lumber and $100 for “rejects.” According to the appraisals by George M. Chambers, the government inspector, now de- ceased, the lumber was fixed at $115 and the rejects valued at $25 per thousand. C. J. Morrow of the National Casket Company of Loulsvil Ky. who bought 160,000 feet of walnut from Sullivan for §235 per thousand, testi- fled the market value of the fumber at that time was, he sald, in excess of 3275 for firsts and secon at 3225 and No. 1 common ai .

SEE DANGER IN SITUATION Leaders Rail at Result, But Admit Dawes’ Strength. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. CLEVELAND, Ohlo, June 13.—The Coolidge convention has brokem up in a blaze of bitter resentment over Coolidge leadership. Criticism is not directed against the leadership as such, but against its inaptitude in the first crisis it had to meet It is chargéd with handling the vice presidentisl - emergency with masterly. ineffectiveness. Vaclllation asd bad gene ip, resulting tn the = unnecessary * humiliation of Herbert Hoover, & member of President Coolidge’s own cabinet, ‘are the indictments leveled at the Coolidge high command. The criticism is expressed in un- minced words. There is more thas criticism among the party organiza- tion sub leaders. There is downright anxiety. One of the outstanding officials of the convention. a weatern Republican, who was on the platform every moment it was in session, openly voiced the fear that “Coal- idge Is up against the thing that defeated Hughes in 1916, namely, inexperience and poor judgment on the part of his managera.” Then the convention dignitary rew specific. “It lqoks to me after last night's events,” he said, “as if Willlam M. Butler is another Willlam M. Willcox.” Chiets Disconnslate. Thus Calvin Coolidge enters upon the 1924 fight with a running mate whom his responsible representatives at Cleveland did their utmost to de- feat Whether that is the kind of “harmony” kick-off there ought to be in this campaign year of incalculable possibilities G. O. P. chieftai at Cleveland today doubted, with discon- solate wags of their heads. It would be impoesible to exaggerate the vigor with which they are speaking out their hearts. It is not President Coolidge at whom they rall. Their shafts are directed exclusively at William M. Butler. National commit- teemen are the loudest in their re- monstrances. The thing that riles the leaders is the manner in which Butler attempt- ed at the eleventh hour to cut the vice presidential knot. Though the administration wanted Lowden for Vice President, ‘t must have known the former Illinois governor would under no circumstances accept the nomination. Refunal I» Rebuke. ‘The convention read a stinging re- buke for the Coolidge leadership in Lowden's telegram to the convention. pointing out that he had “a thousand times” said he would not take second place. Yet with Coolidge influence in the convention, at that time still omnipotent, making no effort to stem the Lowden tide, it swept on till he landslided on the second ballot into a place he had repeatedly, posi- tively and irrevocably declined. Borah Situation Same. Prior to the Lowden affair the But- ler management made an amazing midnight attempt to railroad William E. Borah into the vice presidential nomination. Borah, in the small hours of Thursday morning was compelled to reiterate by telephone and telegraph what he had said most as many times as Lowden, viz, that under no circumstances would he run for Vice President. Then “breaks” piled up on one an- other in endless succession. With the convention convinced in its own mind that it could have neither Lowden, Borah or, for that matter, Hoover, who also was on record against ac- ceptance of the nomination, it turned to Kenyon. Whatever may be said to the contrary in high quarters, Judge Kenyon as Coolidge's running mate is almost the last thing in the morld that was desired at the White ouse. Radical Views Feared. He is highly respected there. but his radical views were not considered at all a fitting companion piece for the head of the ticket, yet when the convention assembled Thursday after- noon “Kenyon talk” was dangerously omnipresent. Expectation was wide that he would be “put over” in early balloting. Then the Butler leader- ship executed what it expected to be a master stroke. With the co-opera- tion of the giant delegations from New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, it was determined to give Theodore E. Burton a run. The purpose was not so much to honor Burton as to head off Kenyon, but those plans collapsed and enough votes meantime cropped up all over the convention to give the nomination to Lowden. What ensued is history. The convention ad- journed for an hour and a half to find out whether Lowden really means what he says. The result was his uncommonly terse telegram of unequivocal declination. Final Episede Amases. Now followed the most amazing episode of all. In a phrase likely to become historic in the annals of the Cleveland _convention, Butler _ex- Claimed: “It has to be Hoover.” Sen- or Reed of Pennsylvania is named one of the leaders to whom But- ler said it, and Reed is named as the man who retorted: “It can't be done. It has to be Dawes." The convention reassembled at 10 o'clock Thursday night. Alabama was\the first state called on the third ballot roll. It re- corded its sixteen votes for Herbert Hoover. It was now apparent that Butler meant to have his way— meant to have it, although Hoove: like Lowden and Borah, also must | bination. have said at least a thousand times that the vice presidency had no lure for him. What happened now be- longs to the ages. Butler's decree wag heartlessly overruled. The con- vention voted overwhelmingly for Dawes. It rejected Hoover, and in doing so defeated mot only & promi- nent and highly respected member of the Coolidge administration, but the candidate of the Coolldge leadership at the convention. If that is not the kind of tactics that undid Napoleon at Waterloo, Republican organization leaders at Cleveland say, they'll have to learn the A B C of politics all over again.

The impression is that he will trot in double harness with Coolidge without attempting to step over the traces. Coolidge is re- uted to be considerable of a lion er, and the prediction already is hazarded that such curbing as “Hell and Maria" needs will be gently ap- plied and gracefully accepted. The convention would have been better pleased with a westerner with a di- rect appeal to the farmers like Lom- den, but Dawes was brought upin Nebraska and his Chicago bank has far-flung connections throughout the disaffected rural regions beyond the Mississippi. PAINLESS CHILDBIRTH PLAN DECLARED SAFE Regional Nerve-Blocking Described to Medical Parley by Los Angeles Doctor. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June 13.—A new method used in maternity cases which elim- inates the pain of childbirth without the danger to mother and child was recommended to the American Med- ical Aseociation today by Dr. H. T. Cooke of Los Angeles. He defined it as regional nerve-blocking, and de- clared it superior to all other anes- thesia, In that it permits the patient | to remain conscious. Some years ago, he explained. it was hoped that the same objective could be obtained through “twilight sleep,” which left the patient partly conscious, but it seemed, nevertheless, to block muscle action, as do the other methods of anasthesia Regional nerve-blocking, by leav- ing the patient conscious, permits natural delivery and makes surgery needless, according to Dr. Cooke, and at the same time makes labor pain- less. It is accomplished by adminis- tering cocaine to the local nerve fibers. “I believe that many beauty parlor proprietors are violating the laws of their states by prescribing for the skin_without a medical license,” said Dr. Ernest D. Chipman of San Fran- ciseo. “I frequently receive patients who have been injured by -unwise beauty treatments.” The house of delegates last night tentatively selected Atlantic City as the 1925 convention place, where the inauguration of Dr. W. D. Haggard, Nashville, Tenn.. elected president yesterday, will take place. Dr. F. H. Warnshuis of Grand Rapids, Mich. was chosen speaker of the house of delegates.

Gas Expert Says Liquid Oxygen Has Proven Effective. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 13— Liquid oxygen has been used as a cure for cancer, L. E. B. Bedortha of Denver told the Gas Products As- sociation’s convention today. “A California doctor has success- fully used liquid oxygen in cancer cases,” he said. “The liquid oxygen freezes the affected parts by swab- bing and the cure is rapid.” \ Mr. Bedortha also described the use of liquid oxygen in blasting as a sub- stitute for dynamite. It is not so dangerous, in that it will not explode upon being struck. Research labora- tories are now studying the relative costs of blasting with liquid oxygen and dynamite. 4 Dogs to Occ_upy Pew at Wedding of N. Y. Debutante By the Asmciated Press.
