G KILLED IN HERRIN KLANWAR: TROOPS RUSHED TO SCENE Five Wounded in Flare-Up When Men Are Freed in Murder of Member. SHERIFF AND DEPUTIES FIRED ON, HE ALLEGES Shooting Is Outgrowth of Factional Strife Which Started Last February. By the Associated Press. HERRIN, August 30.—While State troops patrolled the streets of Her- rin tonight, following a renewal of Klan and anti-Klan rioting here to- day, in which six men were killed and at least five wounded, one dan- gerously. Sherifft George Galligan announced that armed klansmen were coming in from nearby towns on every road. The dead are: Deputy Sheriff J. H. “Bud” Allison, Dewey Newbolt, Green Dunning, Chester Reid, Charles Willard and Otto Roland. The wounded are: Herman Phe- mister, bailiff of the Herrin City Court, shot in the head, and critical- ly wounded; Carl Shelton, Deputy Sheriff Ora Thomas, Charles Benham and Harry Herrin. Follows Murder Dismissal. Renewal of the warfare which had died down in recent months started carly this afternoon, shortly after State's Attorney Delos Duty had dis- missed the murder charges against the Shelton brothers, Carl and Earl, for the slaying of Constable Caesar Cagle, a Klansman, in rioting, last February 8. Forty or fifty shots are said to have been fired. The shooting start- ed when Sheriff Galligan went to the J. B. Smith garage with two deputies on instructions from State's Attorney Duty to seize the car alleged to have been used by the assailants of S. Glenn Young, Klan liquor raider, and his wife near Oxawville, IIl, last May 23. The only coherent account of the affair available was from Sheriff Gal- ligan, a bitter opponent of the Ku Klux Klan. The sheriff said that as he and Deputies Allison and Thomas entered the garage he noticed Dewey Newbolt, an alleged Klansfnan, sit- ting in a chair with four guns strap- ped to his waist. One Bystander Killed, Galligan sald Newbolt fired upon them and they returned the fire. The dead are all of Herrin and four of them—Newbolt, Dunning, Reid and Willard—are klansmen, accordiang to the sheriff. Roland was a bystander and was hit by a stray bullet. He died in the Herrin City Hospital, the same building riddled by bullets in the February riot. Phemister was reported dying to- night. A previous erroneous report said that he had died. Carl Shelton was shot through the hand. Sheriff Galligan declared he believed Newbolt fired the shot which wounded Shelton, but said the latter's presence in the neighborhood seemed coincidental. The Shelton boys, he said, were just preparing to drive to East St. Louis following dismissal of the indictments against them. The dismissal came into Herrin City Court after a jury had been selected but not sworn. The State’s attorney said he had insufficient evidence for prosecution. Tim Cagle, father of the slain con- stable, made a dramatic statement to the court, in which he said he did not believe the Shelton brothers were guilty. Bitter Factional Strife. Bitter factional feeling resulting from continued law violations, tha activities of S. Glenn Young ani his adherents and strong klan and anti- kian sentiment have kept the com- munity in a state of more or less tur- moil for several months. Today's trouble, it is conceded, is traceable to last February S, when Constable Cagle was killed and Depu- ty Sheriff John Layman wounded. For several weeks prior to this the kian faction and the Knights of the Flaming Circle, an organization op- posed to the klan, had been on the verge of open warfare. According to accounts of the Feb- ruary outbreaks, Sheriff Galligan and Deputy Layman went to a hall in Herrin in an effort, they declared, to prevent trouble at a meeting of the flaming circle. Reports that klansmen were at- tempting to break up the meeting caused a riot during which Deputy Layman was shot. Charges were made by the faction opposing the Klan that Chief of Po- lice John Ford and two Herrin police- men had fired at Layman and in the ensuing excitement It was reported that the Kian had assassinated Lay- man. The killing of Cagle, an al- leged Klan sympathizer, followed. Young Took Charge. Young, who was a dominant figure in Williamson County at the time, immediately proclaimed that the Klan would take control of Herrin and ordered the arrest of Chief Ford and his_ assistants. Militiamen were rushed 1o the town and quiet re- stored. Later it was reported that Carl and Earl Shelton had fired the shots which resulted in the death of Cagle. Subsequently both were indicted by a special grand jury of the Herrin City Court. Then followed a series of charges and counter charges, and finally the indictment of Young and 55 associates by the same grand Jury. Young later left the county and with his departure matters quieted, but soon flared up again when news was received that Young and his wife were fired upon by assailants in another automobile near Okawville, Ill., as they were driving toward East St. Louls, both receiving danger- ous wounds, Mrs. Young suffering the Joss of one eye, while Young's right leg was smashed just below the knee by a bullet. Special deputy constables at Herrin, acting on advices that the car con- taining Young’s assailants was en route to Herrin, blocked all roads leading into the city. Later an auto- mobile near Herrin was raked by bullets.

BY N. 0. MESSENGER, Staff Correspondent of The Star. NEW YORK, August 30.—Gov. Al- fred E. Smith of New York is finding himself at present in one of the most difficult and perplexing situations of his political career. His friends realize, and he does himself, that he is at the crossroads of an important epoch, which may have serious bear- ing upon his political future. The question which hs is now considering and will soon be called upon to de- cide, is whether he should accept a renomination for the governorship at the possible cost of seriously affect- ing his chances for the presidenc in 1928 For, notwithstanding his de- feat for the nomination in the New York convention and the expressed determination there of the Democratic party not to consider him avail- able as a presidential candidate, the governor's friends still believe that he may have another look-in with a different conclusion four vears hence. The considerations which work upon Gov. Smith in his present dilemna are the His friends say that if he should YANKS BEAT NATS, (-1, INLAST INNING Meusel Drives Over Both Alien Runs With Pair of Singles. JOHN B. KELLER. NEW YORK, August 30.—Bucky Harris' aggregation was nosed out by the Yanks this afternoon in a brilliant pitching duel between Waite Hoyt of the local club and Warren Ogden of the Nationals. Ogden al-| lowed the New Yorkers only five safeties, while the Harris outfit got eleven off Hoyt, but the world cham- plons bunched a couple of blows most effectively in the ninth and chased across the run needed for a 2-to-1 victory. Wally Pipp, Schang with the same first name as the Yankee first sacker and Bob Meusel did the work that upset the Bucks in the final frame of the fray., The elongated Yank who used to play for the Catholic Uni- versity in his college days, began the ninth with a single to center and Schang sacrificed, Ogden to Harris. Then Meusel, who had not been shin- ing brightly in this series, poled out a one-base blow to left, tallying Pipp with the decisive counter. It was a well fought game from start to finish with the Bucks displaying the same fighting spirit they have shown since invading New York and the Yanks showing more pep than in the past two games. Ogden hurled very good ball, but so did Hoyt. The Bucks hit the latter freely, but not when wal- lops meant scores. The Yanks went into the lead in the fourth round by virtue of Ossie Bluege's (Continued on Page 1, Sports Section.) — NEW YOUTHFUL MURDER STIRS CHICAGO POLICE Four Girls and Boys Under 20 Ac- cused in Strangulation of Woman. Special Dispatch to The Star. CHICAGO, August 30.—The teenage murders have again startled the po- lice. Anthony Valanis, 18, and Wil- liam Lynden are under arrest; Anna Valanis, 17, sister of Anthony, was arrested today, and Lucille Marshall, 18, is wanted in a murder that has baffled the police for a month. Mrs. Bessie Galnissen, a cashier was found strangled to death in her apartment. She was bound to a bed with wire, and wire had been twisted and tightened about her throat. The two girls, according to police, told the boys that the woman had taken them to a disorderly resort. All four, it is alleged, went to the woman's apartment, overpowered her, and, while the girls looked on, the boys strangled Mrs. Galnissen and robbed her of $60. BY Two Boy Swimmers Drowned. PARKERSBURG, W. Va. August 30.—Jack Biles, aged 10, and Paul Logsdon, aged 9, were drowned while swimming in the Ohio River here late this afternoon. Their bodies were re- covered by canoeists. E. V.

He would “be through,” whereas if he were not running for the governorship and should the Democratic national ticket go down to defeat his skirts would be clear and his supporters could renew their demand upon the party's attention four years hence. He would have established his claim upon the party by the efforis rendered the national ticket, which he propcses to exert in this campaign. It is said by Gov. Smith's friends here that he is not likely to make up his mind definitely about the gov- ernorship until close to the date of the assembling of the Democratic State convention, the latter part of eptember.

By the Associated Press. LINCOLN, Nebr,, August vice presidential nominees two old parties—Charles G. Dawes, Republican, and Charles W. Bryan, Democrat—met here today, renewed an acquaintance formed 30 years ago in this city and parted as friends. Discussion of politics did not enter into the unusuat meeting, which took place in Gov. Bryan's office at the Nebraska State capitol. and which lasted 15 minutes. There was an ex- change of reminiscences, some talk about the growth of Lincoln since the early nineties, and the recollec- tion of some amusing incidents in their lives as residents of this city. The nearest approach to politics came when they were saying good- bye. Mr. Bryan said: “Well, General, I wish you success in all your future efforts and undertakings except at the election in November.” Mr. Dawes laughingly expressed his thanks. 30.—The of the Meeting Is Arranged. The meeting between the two came about through what amounted to a mutual agreement. Gov. Bryan, in a statement issued yesterday on the arrival of his opponent in Lincoln to deliver a campaign address, expressed the hope that the Nebraska capital would give Mr. Dawes a cordial wel- come and declared he hoped he would have an opportunity to meet the city’s visitor. Mr. Dawes read the statement and then announced he would call on Gov. Bryan before re- turning to Evanston. Newspaper men acted as messen- gers with the result that at 11:30 o'clock today Mr. Dawes walked briskly into the capitol building into the executive offices and found Mr. Bryan standing in the doorway, ready to welcome him. The governors secretary attempted a formad intro- duction but was cut short by an ex- clamation from Gen. Dawes: “Well, Governor, how are you?" Laugh at Old Times. “Hello, General, I am glad to see you,” was Gov. Bryan's reply, and with that he led his caller into his office, drew up a chair, and soon they were talking and laughing together like any pair of old friends. The Republican nominee puffed his pipe and the Democratic nominee in equally characteristic manner took oft his black slouch hat and rubbed his bald head.

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa., August 30.— George Oakley of Pasadena, Calif, was probably fatally injured here today when he fell from the fourth floor of an office bullding while giv- ing a “human fly demonstration.” Oakley had climbed up the outside of the building, steadying himself by clinging with a cane to an automobile inner tube which his wife held down from successive windows above him. As he reached the fourth floor the tube parted and he fell, narrowly missing spectators on the pavement. Man, “Broke,” Loses Life in Plunge From Bridge to Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, August 30.—Twen- ty-eight cents will not keep a man long in food, even when his shoes still do hold together. That was all Cosmo Poccolli, 25, an Italian factory hand, had in his pocket today and, shrinking from the thought of what might happen when he had spent it, he made a desperate effort to wrench his des- tinies out of the cruel hands that clenched them. In 2 manner, Poc- colli succeeded. A few minutes before noon, while tugs and barges and other river craft were passing under ‘Williamsburg Bridge, while a mul- titude of pedestrians and long lines of automobiles were crossing the giant span, Poccolll mounted the railing and plunged down to the water. Cameramen for three movie news organizations, whom he had notified to be there, trained their instruments on the white clad body as it dropped. ‘With a smack almost like that of a pistol report, Poccolli struck the water and disappeared. A red stain came to the surface, but the Win Job in Movies body has not yet been recovered. Police had been warned during the morning that the young man was planning to make the plunge which he hoped would bring him fame and employment with the movies. The bridge was guarded, and when he stepped out of a taxicab in the middle of the span, and mounted the rail, a policeman was not more than 50 yards from him. Shouting, the policeman ran to prevent Poccolll from carrying out his suicidal venture, but Poccolli only hurried the more. Witnesses declare that if he had not been in such haste, he might have dived more carefully and struck the water, not on his stomach, as he did, but head first with hands out- stretched to break the impact. Six men from the Pathe and In- ternational News services, who had chartered a tug to watch the dive, were taken to police head- quarters and questioned. They will be taken to the district at- torney’s office Tuesday morning for further examination, in an ef- fort to fix responsibility for the man’s death, = - - YOUNG STARTS OFF DAWES PLAN WITH AMERICAN ENERGY Gives Assistant 48 Hours to Get to Berlin and Open Office. DORTMUND EVACUATION IS ORDERED BY FRENCH Five Weeks Allowed in Program for Preliminary Arrange- ments. By the Associated Press. PARIS, August 30.—The Dawes I plan really became operative at noon | teday with the formal appointment |of Owen D. Young as agent general, although technically and legally the allies’ latest attempt to get repara- tions from Germany will date from Monday, September 1, when the rep- |aration commission will announce that Germany has passed the required laws and that the Germans and allies have signed the agreement of Lon- don. Mr. Young got into action im- mediately and started his assistant, Leon Fras " to Berlin gi & him 48 hours in which to g to the | man capital and open his office. Evacuation Ordered. The evacuation of Dortmund and the surrounding area has been or- dered by the French government, in conformity with Iremier Herriot's promise to the German chancellor, |but the actual departure of I soldiers will wait on the civil serv- ices, which have long been installed and may take two or three weeks to turn over their affairs to the Ger- mans were necessary, and shut up shop as far as concerns Franco- Bel- gian control of the mines and factories {and general supervision of civil af- fairs. The cessation of economic control of the Ruhr and the delivery of the complicated railroad system to the Germans will take several weeks The London agreement contemplated that the first step should be taken August 15 and specified the. dates on which each stage must be completed, but authorized the reparation com-. mission to hasten or delay the dates, according to circumstances. Septem- ber 1 will be the first date, and eight days later the French and Belgians must cease collecting customs be- tween occupled and unoccupied Ger- many. Twelve days afterward, or by September 21, the French and Bel. glans must have removed the restric. tions on all trafiic between the occu- pled and unoccupied regions, and they must restore various charges on the population and regulations as they exist in Germany proper. Five Weeks' Preliminaries. The Rhineland and Ruhr railroad, however, will continue to apply its present tariff, as the profits from it 8o into the reparation fund adminis- tered by Mr. Young. The plan gives five weeks for the completion of all preliminary arrange- ments, such as forming an organiza- tion for creating a bank of issue, or- ganizing a new railroad company, depositing railroad and industrial se- curities with the Dawes plan officials and the negotiation of a contract as- suring an $00,000,000-mark loan. The French and Belgians within two weeks thereafter, or by October 20, must restore the economic and fiscal unity of Germany to the satisfaction of the reparation commission. Must Make Up Deficiencies. The actual collection of -reparations will begin immediately, the Germans paying 20,000.000 marks Monday, and the Franco-Belglans turning over their collections 10 days later to Mr. Young. Germany must make up any deficiency in collections, so that the agent general each month will re. ceive one-twelfth of the annual repa- ration payment to the allies. Agent General Young and the other officials appointed by the reparation commission, M. Delacroix of Belgium, Signor Nogara of Italy and Andre MacFadyan of England, will go to Berlin Wednesday ready to begin operations, and the reparation com- mission in the meantime will com- plete the organization of the person- nel and ratify the various appoint- ments. Most of the staff will be drawn from the commission itself and the expenses of that body will be trimmed so that the experts' plan will not add any expense for Ger- many. Franace's relief at the final adop- tion of the experts’ plan is somewhat clouded by what Paris thinks is the ominous attitude of the Nationalists, for they consider that Dr. Marx and the German government have surren- dered to the reactionary forces and they foresee disagreeable conse- quences. All agree that the German chancellor's disavowal of German war guilt is dangerous, and the In- transigeant demands an allied reply. The inclusion of Nationalists in the German cabinet, the Journal des Debates predicts, means “the ultimate sabotage” of the Dawes plan, and the Temps rogards their presence in the government as likely to be consid- ered “an abuse of confidence” by the bankers who are expected to float a German loan. The Nationalists' maneuvers here- tofore have been taken calmly, but the fact that they made the Marx government compromise with them has created a good deal of alarm, as indicating that the reactionaries have greater power than they have been credited with.

NEELY, Staff Correspondent of The Star. ON BOARD U. S. 8. RICHMOND AT ICE TICKLE, Labrador, August 30 (via wireless).—The American aviators ex- pect to hop off tomorrow on their last leg of the trans-atlantic trip of the globe-circling flight. Held here by uncertain weather conditions, hurricane storms and heavy fog, the flyers tonight were assured by Capt. Thiesen, Army meteorologist, that calm should pre- vail tomorrow. But it will be only a temporary calm, of which the aviators will take advantage to escape another storm heading this way up the coast and due here Monday or Tuesday. It will require quick action and the planes, held ready, will make every effort to win their race against the elements. Tonight the barometer is rising rapidly and the fog overhanging the Labrador coast through the day is scattering, and if this improvement should continue during the night there is little doubt that the aviators will take off early in the morning. and escape the chance of being delayed here indefinitely by ad- verse weather conditions.

By the Associated Press. CANTON, August 20.—The threat- ened bombardment of the city by Chinese gunboats has been averted by the settlement of the merchants’ gen- eral strike today. Under the terms of the settlement the merchants must pay immediately half a million dollars to the govern- ment of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, which has promised to return within seven days all the arms belonging to the mer- chants and seized on board the Nor- wegian steamer Hav. All the shops, closed since Augus: 25, when the strike was declared as a protest against the seizure of the arms, were reopened today, and busi- ness is proceeding as usual. Chan Lim-Pak, commander-in-chief of the merchants’ volunteer corps, now in Hongkong, has been granted amnesty by Dr. Sun, but will not be permitted to have any further con- nection with the corps. The steamer Hav is still detained by the authori- ties.

Prince Henry’s Attentions to Lady Scott Start Rumor of Impending Wedding By Cable to The Star and New York World. Copyright. 1924, LONDON, August 30.—The rumor persists here that the engagement of Prince Henry, wno 18 24 years old and the third son of King George and Queen Mary, to Lady Mary Theresa Scott, who is 20, and the fourth daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, will be announced before long. This is the second successive season Prince Henry has been spending partly at the Buccleuchs' Scottish seat, and his stay there has been more in the nature of private visits to friends than of the formal visits of a prince. In the normal course of events it is considered that Prince Henry probably will marry at no distant date. Leaving aside the Prince of Walesa—the question of whose marriage seems now a pussle— Prince Henry is next in line to wed pow ! bis other older CONCERT PLANNED T0 BTAN S0 Army, Navy and Marine Bands in Program to Equip Institutions With Radio. | An intensive drive will be launched this week by officials of the various hospitals and charitable institutions in the District to dispose of 40,000 tickets for the massed concert of the Army, Navy and Marine Bands at the American League Ball Park September 14. The entire proceeds will be used to purchase radio re- ceiving sets for institutions which have not yet inetalled such apparatus | for the entertainment of its inmates. Tickets for the concert will be placed on sale Tuesday at all Peoples drug stores. Box seats will be sold at the Mode, 1012 F street. Confident of Success. LeRoy Mark, who conceived the idea of the massed band concert as a method of raising funds to equip the institutions with radio apparatus, is sanguine that every ticket will be sold. He has informed radio enthu- siasts of his plans through WCAP and has appealed to them to purchase tickets in order that the unfortunate sick and invalids in hospitals and | charitable institutions may enjoy the entertainment that radio provides. During the past week Mr. Mark has held conferences with officials ot the institutions, mapping out plans for the concerted ticket-selling cam- paign. It is estimated that $40,000 will be needed to equip all of the institutions with radio sets and vir- tually every seat in the ball park will have to be sold to realize this sum. The date for the massed concert ‘was originally planned for the night of September 19, but was changed to the aftetmoon of September 14 to save the expense of wiring the ball park for the electric lights. The concert, according to present plans, will be the most elaborate ever staged in Washington, eclipsing that given at the ball park during the Shrine convention when John Philip Sousa, the famoug bandmaster, wielded the baton. Soua may come to Washington to conduct the radio fund concert. — o FIVE PERISH IN STORM. Bodies of English Mountain Climb- ers Found in Alps.

The bodies of the men were recovered by guides, but the women are still buried. SAIL PLANE MARK SET. CREFELD, Germany, August 30.— What is claimed to be a world en- durance record for sail planes with auxiliary motors was achieved today by Hans Udet, the German aviator, who remained in the air 4 hours and 39 minutes. This time beat the record of the French aviator, Henry Firman, by 22 minutes. brother, the Duke of York, is married. The king and queen are said to consider Prince George too young to end his single state. Lady Mary, who, like her sisters, is extremely good looking, was one of the prominent debutantes of the past season. This s not the first time the name of one of the Buccleuch daughters has been connected with British royalty. For some time previous to her marriage to Lieut. Charles Phipps, in 1919, it was strongly rumored that his wife, formerly Lady Sybil Scott, second daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, would become engaged to the Prince of Wales. But that report shared the fate of all previous and sub- sequent rumors of that kind. Lady Mary's_brother, Lord Wil- liam Scott, i® in the same regi- ment, the 10th Hussars, with Prince Henrv, and a great per- sonal friendship cxists between them, 2 | highness was WALES IS CHARMED BY ENTHUSIASM OF CAPITAL WELGOME Returns to Station in Open Car on Noting Public In- terest in Visit. FEW OF THOUSANDS SEE HIM GOING TO MANSION Luncheon and Informal Reception With Coolidges Only Activity of Prince Here. Through tremendous crowds that cheered and waved a warm welcome the Prince of Wales went to the White Houee yesterday, had luncheon with the President and Mrs. Coolidge, met most of the members of the Cabi- net and their wives at an informal reception and unostentatiously left the city, all within a trifle more than two hours. It was the prince’s second visit to the National Capital and the ex- tremely democratic manner in which he came, was received and departed makes his call perhaps the most un- usual one that the crown prince of a great empire has ever paid to the capital of a great foreign nation, par- ticularly while traveling under his full title. Followed Prince’s Wishes. The utter lack of ceremony, how- ever, was a result not only of the prince’s own urgently expressed wish, but also of the fact that the Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge are still in mourning for their son Calvin, jr., who died less than two months ago. The only unfortunate feature of the prince’s reception was the fact that more than half of the admiring thou- sands who lined Pennsylvania avenus to shout a greeting failed to get even a glimpse of the heir apparent to the throne of Great Britain. The automobile sent from the White House for his use had the top up. On the return trip to Union Sta- tion the top of the car was lowered, but his royal highness departed somewhat more than half an hour before the announced hour and as a result the crowd that waited for his passage was nowhere near as large as the one that stood in a sweltering sun, waiting patiently for | his arrival. Crowd Packs Statso Two hours before the royal visitor's train was expected to arrive, most of the points of vantage in Union Station were occupied. Every minute the crowd there increased in size until the east end of the grand con- course, through which his roval to pass was packed to capacity and the anxious throng extended all the way down the bronze grating that separates the concourse from the trainshed. Outside, the scene was one of even more intense enthusiasm. The Presi- dent's entrance had been reserved for the use of the prince, and the east end of the Union Station Plaza was banked with a seemingly endless line of humanity that extended up Dela- ware avenue to the Capitol, down to the Peace Monument, and continued in an unbroken line out Pennsylvania avenue to the gates of the White House. And there a score of police- men had charge of the largest crowd of all. Secretary of State Hughes was given a hearty welcome when he ar- rived at Union Station a few minutes before 1 o'clock to formally welcome the prince to Washington in the name of the American Government. With him was an attache of the British embassy. It was exactly 1:05 o'clock when the prince’s train came to a standstill in the train shed, five min- utes’ late.

Then, closely followed by the members of his suite who had accompanied him from Long Island, the prince was escorted to his car.
