*DRY’ SQUADS DEPART TO ‘MOP UP’ GOTHAM ©fficers Leave Cleveland to Stage Clean-Up Campaign in New York City. 'WILL BLAZE “ARID" TRAIL Hope to Keep “John Barleycorn” Away From Convention. BY ROBERT T. SMAL CLEVELA June 14 —Having %ept Cleveland pretty dry during the Republican national convention, the heavy squad of prohibition enforce- ment officers sent here for special duty moved on today to New York 1o mop up the metropolis prior to the coming of the Democratic hosts. Pro- hibition ' Commissioner Roy Haines was here himself and brought the pick of his field staff with him. 'l‘he] chances are that he will also be in New VYork during the powwow at Madison Square Garden. He hopes, however, that by the time of his ar- rival the advance guards working in conjunction with the regular shift at New York will have made sw a dent in the wet spots of Broadway that little will be left to be done. The successful fight here in Cleve- Jand was all against organized boot- 1rgging or the attempted sale of booze in cafes or other public places. No aitempt was made to “frisk” the dele- 2ates and visitors for possible pocket fNasks, and so far can be learned there ‘will be no such tactics employ- cd in New York. It was considered irevitable here that there would be some bottle “toting” ard room drink ing, and the authorities felt them- lvea powerless to cope with such a situation. Virtuaily Neo Drunkenness. There has virtually been no drunk- enness at all on the streets of the convention city. The prohibition au- thorities are determined to keep New York similarly clean, if possible. During all of convention week out here eyes have been turned toward New York, and in the lobbies of the hotels there was really more specu- lution as to what the Democrats were Zoing to do than there was discus- &ion of the Republican plans and pro- &ram. Delegates and visitors alike to the Republican gathering seemed to feel that the real story of the coming presidential campaign was to be written in New York rather than in Cleveland, and predictions as well 2 wagers as to the results in No- Vember were postpoued until thr in- tentions of the Democrats were Kknown _ Hundreds of prominent Republicans announced _that_ they had ~ engaged rooms in New York for the conven- tion period and intended to watch the proceedings to the bitter end. They Said they would not miss it for the world, and predicted that the Demo- cratic convention throng would be fully four times the size of the visit- ing army here. Going for “Good Time." Thousands of visitors are going to New York for a “good time” and ~ome who are here have been rather solfcitously inquiring of the New Yorkers if all their cabarets and more popular restaurants were to be “padlocked” before the convention period begins. The absence of “night life” in Cleveland has been a subject of complaint among those who have had idle evenings on their hands and they’ have been looking forward te the gay white way with rather eager anticipations Cleveland has been “good,” as well as_dry, during convention week, as one lady delegate. who lighted a cigarette after dinner in one of the principal hotels of the city discov- eréd to her evident discomfiture. In the most casual manner possible, when the coffee had been served, she took a "fag"’ from u jeweled case, placed it to her lip$ and struck a match. In a sccond she was sur- rounded by one head waiter and two assistant head waiters. who held up their hands in holy horror and said such conduct as that was not per- mitted in their dining rooms. Man delegates could smoke as they pleased, it was explained, but the rules of the national convention be- stowing equal political rights upon the fair sex had no force or effect in their gilded restaurant - of this particular hostelry. It was explained 1o the irate lady by Cleveiand friends that_she had selected the one hotel in: Cleveland which objects to the use of tobacco in any form by its lady patrons. Democratic Women Urged. Democratic women will have to go some to catch up with their sisters on the Republican national committee now that the latter have somewhat belatedly ‘heen recognized. The new G. O. P. com- Tittes boasts a real live princeds on its voster. She is Princess Kawananakoa of Honolulu. Fortunately, when she was named from the convention floor an Hawaiian reading clerk was on duty at the chairman’'s desk, and he repeated the name in such a mellifiluous voice that it called for a cheer from the gal- leries. One of the distinct memories of the Republican convention was the booming voico of Mrs. Minnie J. Grimstead of liberal, Kan. who seconded the nom- ination 'of Cal Coolidge on behalf of the Sunfiower state. Mrs. Grimstead is a Baptist preacher and political lecturer, and her powerful voice carried to the far ends of the hall. The radio audience must have enjoyed her brief talk, teo. After she had spoken some one handed cut a memorandum telling who she was. it concluded as follows: “She lives on a farm with her husband.

And hope blossomed into confidence when the weather bureau discarded its mimeographed forecast of rain in favor of a message of fair weather. Forecaster Mitchell not only pre- dicted that the sun will shine with pent-up vigor ail day tomorrow. but ventured the opinion that the ciouds have been chased away until Tuesday at least. They began leaving early this afternoon and by tonight should have entirely vanished, Mr. Mitchell believes. Moderate temperature is forecast NATION’S DEFENDERS HONOR “OLD GLORY” G. A. R., With Other Veteran Or- ganizations, Hold Flag Day Ex- ercises on Capitol Plaza. The Capitol plaza formed an appro- priate setting for the annual Flag day celebration of the Department of the Potomac, G. A. R, last night. This organization, together with the Women's Reliet Corps, Daughters of Veterans, Spanish War Veterans, Overseas Nurses, Yeomen F and ‘World War Veterans, each participant carrying a silk American flag, pre- sented a colorful picture as they stood on the Capitol steps, the flags being whipped by a stiff breeze. To music by the Marjne Band the procession moved dowr the Capitol steps, headed by ‘“Uncle Sam" and “Miss Columbia.” They were followed by the officers of the various units. After the singing of “Our Country’s Flag,” by Mrs. Viola Schippert Klenge, John W. Relid, past department com- mander of the G. A. R, who presided, ordered the officer of the day to pre- sent colors and the salute to the flag, and pledge of allegiance was given by the entire assembly. Col. O. H. Oldroyd read a letter from President Coolidge, expressing regret at being unable to attend the cere- monies. Led by the Marine Band, the audience sang “The Star Spangled Banner” and “The Battle Hymn of the Republi Past Commander Reid's Tribute. “Today the dominating thought is patriotism,” Past Commander John W. Reid said in his address. “This thought is not restricted to hemmed- in sections,” he said, “for there is no east or west, no north or south; this is a united nation, true to ideals. The Second Continental Congress, at Philadeiphia, on July 4, 1776, adopted the Declaration of Independence, which was the announcement of a birth of a free people, of a republic thereafter to be known as the United States, and at the same place later a flag was adopted and that noble day we now celebrate,” Commander Reid concluded. George Campbell, a familiar figure in all patriotic events, who is eighty- two years old and a veteran of the Union army defending the Capito! during the civil war, portrayed the character of Uncle Sam. With his long white hair and beard he is par- ticularly fitted for the role. Miss Anne Hage took the part of Miss Columbia.

IN TRIBUTE TO FLAG (Continued from First Page.) when we strengthen our country and upbuild our citizens vhyuuny,wmem tally and morally, that they may more offectively serve their country and themselves under any circumstiances. Our country is a great world power today, not merely because we once adopted certain principles of gov- ernment. but because we proved that we could live as a nation under those principles. Likewise, & cit- izen does not serve his country by merely acclaiming his loyalty. That ia only an indication of his excel- lent intention. It is by his deeds, not his words, that he proves him- self a patriot—a follower of the flag. So the flag should remind us of our obligations for service to a common " cause, "It is, therefore, particularly ap- propriate that these Flag day ex- ercises should be also the occasion for recognition of the young ladies who have galned our admjration be- cause of their excellent essays on the citizens' military training camps. Camps Merit Consideration. “These camps merit the grateful consideration of every citizen, because they are a direct outcome of the Plattsburg movement, whereby, in the stirring days before our entry into the world war, patriotic men with vision began to prepare themselves to take a soldiers’ part in_the probable struggle ahead of us. In another sense the citizens' military training camps are the product of the world war itself. During that war those in authority made the startling discovery that about 50 per cent of our young men were physically deficient, that probably 25 per cent ‘could neither read nor write, and that the majority did not know even the basic prineiples of our gov- ernment. To provide the clvic leader- ship necessary to remedy this condi- tion, and, as & by-product of this lead- ership, to avoid in the future the use- less sacrifices to unpreparedness that S0 many young Americans were fo; to make in Belleau Wood, .m..,,"u‘,‘i £grain fields of Soisson, on the slopes of St. Mihiel, and in the Argonne forest, these camps were created by an act of Cengress. “The principles upon which th, are founded are older than elther thy lattsburg idea or the world war. ey £o back to the original concep- tion of the founders of this republic. Jefferson announced the basic mili- ary principle for a democracy in these words: “The truth must now be abvious that we cannot be defended but by making every citizen a sol- dier.’ "It has been to our sorrow and great cost that we as a nation have not memorized these words, as we have so many others of that great announcer of cardinal truths. The Swiss people have had similar camps for years, and because of their ster- ling product were untouched by the ravages of the world war. ‘“The primary purpose of thess camps, however, is to develop better American citizens, physically, men- tally and morally, and a higher pa- triotism among the citizens of tomor- row by making them more intelligent and better prepared to discharge their duties of citizenship. These camps are great national outdeor schools— vital elements of the system of na- tional education. Young men of all walks of life enter upon a common footing. “The business men of our country are encouraging their young men to attend these camps because of their 2 M| U. S. MOVES TO HALT FILM BAN IN JAPAN Complaint From American Con- cerns Brought to Attention of Tokio Government. ALIEN LAW HOSTILITY WANES Ishii Selection as Envoy Is Denied Officially. By the Associated Press. TOKIO, June 14—The boycott on American-made motion picture films. due to resentment because of the re. cently enacted bill excluding Japa- nese immigrants from America, has been brought to the attention of the Japanese government by the Ameri- can embassy here. The direct cause of the embassy’s action was a complaint from repre- sentatives of the American film com. panies at Kobe, who reported that the boycott movement was progress- ing in western Japan and asked as- sistance in combating it. At the sanr® time, the beycott here is breaking down. Police have an- nounced that full protection will be given any theater showing Ameri- can-made films and have warned “patriots,” as the most active support- ers of the boycott term themselves, not to use intimation as a weapon for gaining assent of the theater owners to_the plan to bar American pietures. The leading Tokio theatges plan to continue using American ‘films. It is officially denied that Viscount Kijuhiro Ishii has been selected to become Japan's new ambassador at Washington, though it is stated au- thoritatively that he is the most like- iy candidate for the post. Baron Keishiro Matsui, foreign min- ister in the Kiyoura cabinet which has just left office, also is mentioned as a possible selection for the Wash- ington embassy However, there were strong intima- tions in official quarters today that no definite choice would be made of a successor for the present ambassador, Masanao Hanihara, until Mr. Hani’ hara has returned to Japan and can be consulted. The expectation is that Mr. Hani- hara will leave Washington early in July, simultaneously with Secretary of State Hughes' departure on a visit, it is understood, he plans to make to England. A statament squarely opposing anti- American demonstrations as a means of expressing disapproval of the new immigration law barring Japanese, was issued today by Masahiro Ota. new chief of the Tokio police bureau. | Ota is a political appointee, and the statement was his first since his in- stailation_under the new ministerial regime. It is regarded as an enun- ciation of the new cabinet's policy re- garding anti-American agitation. Warns of Violence. “Incitement to violence and breaking by means of anti-American demonstrations must be prevented,” Ota declared. “Infringements of law will be strictly punished. We shall do our utmost to prevent rash or vio- lent action due to public speeches or demonstration. The exclusion ques- tion is too important to be treated rashly. Japanese must behave in a manner in keeping with the dignity of a great nation.” Further evidence is that the anti-American subsiding. The majority of the newspapers now favor moderation. The Jiji Shimpo, the most conservative paper in Japan, appeals strongly against rash action and favors prudence “such as a really great nation should exercise at a time such as this" Public meetings at which anti-ex- clusion _resolutions are passed con- tinue In many cities. The young men’s organizations continue very active. All the Japanese wisbing to reach America_before the exclusion act be- comes effective hava been accommo- dated and will sail teday and tomor- row. ACTION IS CUSTOMARY. accumulating outburst is Action of the American embassy in Tokio in calling attention of the Japanese government to the boycott of American films was said hers to- day to have been taken, as is usual in such cases, on its own Initiative. Reforence of such procedure to the State Department is not considered necessary. It was explained today that refer- ence in Tokio dispatches to a trip | by Secretary Hughes to England in July was in connection with the meeting of the American Bar Asso- ciation. The Secretary plans to go to London if his official duties will permit. — increased eficiency. A recemt survey by the National Conference Board showed employers to be 100 per cent in favor of the camps, and that 75 per cent of the firms were willing to give their employes at least two ‘weeks' full pay during the attendance at them. Although the camps are only three/ years old, 14 per cent of the firms stated that the training was beneficial to their business and 22 per cent that it was beneficial to both employer and employe. Undoubtedly these figures will be greatly increased when more business concerns have sent young men to the camps and have had the same opportunity to measure the results as those who have encouraged this training from the start. “Educators who have investigmted our training system also are enthu- slastic in their support. But better than these indorsements are the hun- dreds of letters that have my desk from fathers and mothers thanking the War Department for the physical, mental and moral develop- ment of their sons. “We are here today because a dis- tinguished group of women—the Women's Overseas Service Leaguey— has held a contest designated to stim- ulate among the young women of the country the thought of these camps. The essay contest Among young wom- en on ‘Why a 'YOIIIIE 1 Know Should Attend a Citizens’ Military Training Camp,’ has stimuiated pub- lio opinion on this subject. While it is impossible accurately to measure the effect of the contest, we do know that the applications for this year are more than double what they were at this time last year. Though funds have been provided for only approxi mately 30,000, there is every reason to believe that more than 70,000 ap- plications will be received before the close of this month. i “The action of the Women's Over- seas Service League has partially overcome one of the unavoidable de- ficiencies of the program for citizen- ship training through the medium of these camps. Unfortunately we have not the facilities to offer a similar course to young women. However, their essays on the subject have shown that they have a keen realiza- tion of the significance of the train- ing. They have done great credit to themselves and to the inspiring ex- ample of the Overseas League, whose memorable war service brought them definite evidence of the need for the training given In these camps. Poace a Normal Condition. “Peace is the normal state of the nation. We all hope that the young men who attend camp this summer will never be required to use their military attainments on campalgn. But this. does not mean that the training they acquire will not be an asset to the nation. The nationalism and sense of civic responsibility po: sessed by the citizsens of a country constitute that country's strongest assets—assets which are vital at all times. The maintenance of the na- tional defense is .a by-product eof those assets.” e law | Varied Conditions Found in Homes in Which Installations Made. Type of Equipment Must Be Adaptable to Ailment of Invalids Aided. Boy Scouts who have volunteered to install the radio sets donated to The Star's “shut-in fund,” have dis- covered that they are confronted with a tremendous and trying task. But with scout like tenacity they have pledged to’“carry on” until a crystal set has been placed at the bedside of every poor and needy in- valid in the District. A preliminary survey of the homes of a number of the “shut-ins” who are to receive the sets donated to The Star's fund. has revealed to the scouts the varied conditions under which they must work. Some live in small rooms in tenement dwellings where the landlords have refused to permit the erection of an outside antenna, others in houses already surrounded with a network of aerials which make it exceedingly difficult to string up another antenna. The scouts also have discovered that certain types of crystal sets would be useless to some of the invalids. For instance, a biind person is not able operate a set with a “cat’s whisker. Radio fans with perfect vision have found it difficult at times to keep the ““cat's whisker” on a sensitive spot on {the galena. and a blind “shut-in” probably would never be able to find the elusive sensitive spot. Conse- quently, the scouts must install the sets of the fixed crystal type in the homes of the blind. Invaltd Put Out by Delay. Another incident which the scouts did not expect to emcounter occurred vesterday afternoon while the boys were installing a set in the home of a “shut-in” on O street. The invalid, perhaps a little despondent over her long period of confinement, is said to have spoken In harsh tones to the scouts because they were compelled to delay the installation of the set for several hours umtil they returned to headquarters for additional wire for the antenna.

George Voight was 2 up on Roland MacKenzie and Walter R. Tuckerman was 4 up on Walter McCallum at the fifteenth hole in the semi-finai round of the Columbia Country Club tour- nament. Both Tuckerman and Me- Callum were playing below their standards. Voight and MacKenzie were playing excellent golf. Voight made an unusual birdie on thesfifth hole. He sank a 30-vard approach shot. FINE GOLF PLAYED YESTERDAY ON COURSE OF COLUMBIA CLUB W. R. McCallum, W. R. Tuckerman, George J. Voigt and Roland R. Mackenzie won their way into the semi-finals of the spring golf tourna- ment, Columbia Country Clubd, by fine golf yesterday. Tuckerman, holder of the District championship, was op- posed to McCallum in the semi-final this morning, while Voigt played Mackenzie. Tuckerman overthrew Tom Sasscer df Baltimore, former middle Atlantic champion, on the twentieth hole in the morning and won rather easily from Norman Macbeth of California in the second round. Mackenzie and Voigt had no trouble with their matches. Both of McCallum's matches ended on the home green. He and Stevin- son were all square golng to the seventeenth, but a topped tee shot at that hole cost Stevinson the match, when he could secure only a half in five at the eighteenth. McCallum got an early lead on Dunphy, winning the first, third, fifth and seventh holes to turn 4 up. Dun- phy won the tenth, twelfth and four- teenth, to go to the fifteenth only 1 down.' The fifteenth was the crucial hole of the match, for Dunphy, on the green in two, took three putts, giv- ing McCallum a half, the latter hav- ing pushed his iron second to the right of the green. They halved the sixteenth and seventeenth in 3 and 4, and came to the last hole with Me- Callum 1 up. Both men hit good balls off the tee, with McCallum in the rough and Dunphy down the middle of the fairway. McCallum hooked his iron shot and got within fifty vards of the green, while Dunph: iron second was short and to the right. McCallum chipped up to six teet and Dunphy chipped twenty feet over. Dunphy then holed his putt, a nervy one under the most trying of conditions, and McCallum holed his six-footer for a half, the match 1 up. Dunphy took three putts at the eighth and had a buried ball at the first hole, both costing him the hole. Eight of the matches went extra holes, the longest coming between E. L. Bono of Bannockburn and Thomas Elliott of Cincinnati, the latter win- ning on the twenty-second green. Tuckerman won from Sasscer with a birdie 3 on the twentieth hole. Yesterday's Summaries.

SIX DAYS TO FILL RESERVOIRS Full Flow to Be Turned on This Afternoon—Danger Passed. While finishing touches e be- ing put to the flume that eliminates the gap in the conduit from Grea: Falls, which blew out early Wed- nesday morning, water already was flowing into local reservoirs at the rate of 45,000,000 gallons a day at Boon today. The concrets walls forming the sides of the flume had not fully set shortly after midnight this morning when the gates were opened for a limited flow from Great Falls 1t took an hour and a half for the water to travel the five miles to the point where the gap had been made in the conduit. By the time it reached the &ap the contrete and timber walls were in such condition as to hold a Rhalf-car, ity flow of water. Althouh the timber is not entirely waterproof, Maj. J. A. O'Connor. United States enginecr in charge of the Washington district and in com mand of the work on the conduh, to day declared that no damage result from a bit of scepage o'clock this aftenoon it is predicted the entire job will have reached a tage of completion which will permit capacity to flow through the tunnel. | It took three nours for the wate | travel from the gap to the Da reservoir Six Days to Refill Reservoirs. This is said to eliminate comple: fears of a water shortage as a re of the break. Washington uses 6 000,000 gallons of water a day: the reservoirs have a storage capacity of 200,000,000 gallons: the gap thus far has caused only 150,000,00 gallons to be taken from the reserve and by tonight 90,000,000 gallons will be flow ing into the reservoirs, which wi mean storage of 25,000,000 gallons a day reserve until the full capacity fis reached It will take, therefore, about days to replenish the reservoirs the 150,000,000 gallons reserve used as a result of the break. Workman Is Buried. Only one near accident marred the otherwise smooth and rapid work in repairing the break. That was when a little landslide from & side bank last night buried a colored workma: completely with clay and dirt. He was smoking a cigar and had « shovel in his hand when he w, buried alive. The cigar was out by between his teeth, and his hand stil clutched the shovel when his fellow workers excavated him. Still smiling he was nothing the worse for th experfence. although the dirt had completely covered him. Maj. O'Connor today satd that re pairs at the gap will make this s tion of the tunnel probably ti strongest of its entire route. Condu road will be open for trafic tomorrow or Monday.
