NELSON IS FORCED DOWN NEAR BALTIMORE Lands in Safety 10 Miles This Side Of Maryland City. BOOMING CANNON GREET COMRADES Third Pilot Is Brought Here in Another Plane. Gears Stripped in His. Without their comrade, Lieut. Eric | Nelwon, two of the threc globe-cir- cling aeroplanes of th> American Army landed at Bolling Field shortly after 3 o'clock thisx afternoon, com- pleting a flight from New York to Washington, which, rivaled many of the worst hops they have encountered Pbecause of rain, winds and fogs. Lieut. Nelson was forced down 10 tmiles this side of Baltimore. Accord- Sng to his comrades, he made n xafe landing. This mishap only beeame known when the two other planes 1anded at Bolling Field. A few minutes after the landing another plane was sighted which came to earth with Lieut. Nelxon aboard. One of the excort planes had dropped to the ground when hix motor went bad on him and picked him up. The world fiyers reached Washing- ton this afternoon at 2:55 o'clock. Preceded by an_escort of planes, they were sighted over Northeast Washington and landed at Bolling Field. The planes neared Bolling Field after a hectic morning of wait- ing on the part of a good-natured crowd. Word reached the field by radio- gram from Aberdeen, Md.. about 12:30 o'clock that the flyers. encountering a Jieavy fog, had been forced down there. Later messazes from the flyers etated | that they would remain at Aberdeen for luncheon, instead of continuing on their way to Washington when the fog lifted, as they had first planned to do. The crowd received the news good- naturedly and made hasty preparu- fons for getting whatever hind of luncheon the situation would afford It was after another hour of waiting that word was received that the fi ers had left Aberdeen for Washin ton at 1:20 p.m. and at 2:05 o'clock messages from Baltimore said they had passed over that city and were headed for Washington Word of the delay reached Bolling 1d, where the representatives of ial Washington and the countr: Tnment were impatiently awaits ing the flvers arrival. President Coolidge and members of his cabinet were on the field-and a large crowd, gathered in spite of the heavy down- pour of rain during the morning, was | held back with difficulty by the guar While the crowd was impatient at the delay, it was a good-natured im- patience. The Army Band broke into a tune and everybody from the Presi- dent down decided to stick it out. After Maj. Clagett had reported to the President the reason for the land- ing in Aberdeen and the information that they probably would not reach here before an hour the President nilingly remarked, “I guess th don't know we haven't eaten lunc Maj. Clagett informed the President that luncheon had been prepared at the Officers Club, and that they would be honored to have the President ana Mrs. Coolidge and the members ot their party as guests. The President promptly “accepted. Those in the President’s party guests at luncheon were: Secretary and Mrs. Hughes, Secretaries Mellon, s, Hoover, Work, Wallace and Davis, and Attor- ney General Stone, Secretary Slemp, Wise Slemp, the former's cousin, Miss Dorothy Dennett of Washington, E. C. Clark, personal secretary to the Tresident. Other guests at_the Gens. Patrick Mitchell, lLejuene, and Admirals Eberle and Moffett. and Colonel Roosevelt, As- sistant Secretary of the Navy. It was arranged to have the la of the post serve the quickly ranged luncheon. The sun which was obscured all morning by heavy rain clouds broke over the field about noon lending cheer to the thousands who had waited through the down pour all morning to pay tribute to America’s greatest airmen. By 12:30 o'clock the peak of spectators had been reached. It is estimated 10,000 per- sons lined the taut ropes from one end of the field to the other, while automobiles were visible as far as the eye could see. | Despite the pouring rain and the} generally dismal aspect, the crowd at Bolling Field began gathering early, and as the time for the expected ar- rival of the flyers arrived the place was jammed. Some of the spectators brought umbrellas and jammed the side lines, while others stood in the rain, protected by raincoats. Many of the spectators remained in the hundreds of automobiles which were .parked close to the fleld, taking their chance of get- ting a close view of the flyers after they landed. Actual preparations for welcoming the fiyers to Bolling Field began at 10:45 o'clock, when a formation of six airplanes took off in the driving rain for a point between Aberdeen and Baltimore. Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, assistant chief of the air service, led the formation in a tiny pursuit plane, followed by the following officers in the De Haviland ships: Capts, Wooten, Wil- son and Eaker and Lieuts. Chauncey and Duke. : The' escort, however, returned to the field after flying out a few miles, due to the fog and rain. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt, accompanied by Admiral Eberle, arrived at the field shortly be- fore 11 o'clock, followed by Secretary of War Weeks, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and their respective families. All remained in their ma- ¢hines on account of the rain.’ The President and Mrs. Coolidge drew up in their machine between the flying field and the official review- ing stand at 11:30.

Information furnished by the woman's ninth husband three days ago led to her arrest. Mrs. Mondich told the authorities she @id not know the name of the man she killed ex- cept that he was known as “John.” A skull and other bones believed to be those of “John" were unearthed yesterday under a house formerly oc- cupied by Mrs. Mondich. According to the police, Mrs. Mon- dich confessed she had killed “John” with his own revolver a week after she had seen him club her eighth husband, Joseph Sokokolsky, to deatln-da.an automobile. « !She said she went under the house, dug a hole and dragged “John’s" body from the house and buried it. She married Steve Mondich, she said, shortly afterward. Mondich, ac- cording to the police, became incensed when she left him and took with her title to property they owned jointly and furnished information which led to the finding of the bones under the woman's former home. MAN AND WIFE WALK FROM D. C. TO MEXICO By Cable to The S d Chicago Daily News. MEXICO CITY, September 9.—Vale- tin Ovando, a Mexican, and his Ameri- can wife have arrived here after having walked the entire way from Washington, D. C. since March 15. On their way they gathered thou- sands of messages of good will to- ward the people of Mexico from American officials and the leading citizens of the towns through which they passed. These tributes are in- scribed in a large handsome book, which they delivered to President Obregon.

Septem- ber 9.—The Upited States Army round-the-world fiyers hopped off from Mitchell Field for Washington at 9:35 o'clock daglight-savings time. The fiyers took off from the field in the face of a 35-mile wind. The de- parture had been delayed for half an hour while Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief of the Air Service, ob- tained weather reports from Wash- ington by telephone. Although these reports stated that the skies were overcast and rain was threatening, the fiyers decided to hop off. After he had received the weather reports Maj. Gen. Patrick conferred with Lieut. Lowell Smith, leader of the world fiyers. Lieut. Smith said the fiyers were anxious to be off. Maj. Gen. Patrick then gave his approval to the plans to hop off without delay. The airmen expected to reach Washington in three or four hours unless the headwinds shifted or other unfavorable wea‘her conditions de- veloped. As the globe-circling machines at- tained altitude and headed southward A squadron of seven smaller and speedier planes, headed by Maj. Gen. Patrick, took wing to accompany the tourists to Bolling Field. Planes Carry Flowers, The Chicago, New Orleans and Bos- ton II were laden with flowers, which it was intended to scatter over the! grave of the Unknown Soldier as the machines passed Arlington Cemetery. Lieut. Ogden boarded the Boston 11 at the last moment, with the permis- sion of Mitchel Field Hospital chiefs. After having been rescued from the| North Sea when the Boston I was foundered, he sustained severe elec- | trical burns aboard the U. S. S. Barry and was sent to the Mitchel Field Hospital last night for treatment. But this morning Ogden insisted on | accompanying his flight companions to the end of the route. With reluc- tance the doctors permitted him to leave his cot and told him to “go to it rexs. Few See Departure. | Scarcely a dozen persons aside from Army officials and newspaper men braved the gloom and drizzle to- day to speed them on their journey. There were no ceremonial prelimi- naries. Lieut. Smith met Maj. Gen. Patrick as he emerged from head- quarters with the weather report. “Do we go, General?” he asked anxiously. “Yes, I guess we're off,” said Maj. Gen. Patrick. FINE PASSENGER BOAT IS DESTROYED BY FIRE By the Associated Press. HOLLAND, Mich.,, September 9.— The steamship South American, one of the finest passenger boats on the Great Lakes, virtually was destroyed by a fire which broke out early this morning while the boat was in dry- dock for the Winter here. The crew of 16 negroes, which has been ciean- ing the boat since it came into dock here five days ago, escaped. The cause of the fire, which started amidship near the engine room, was undetermined. The boat, an oil burner, had 560 gallons of fuel oil stored near where the fire started, and explosions of oil tore out large portions of the hull and endangered the lives of the firemen -fighting the blaze. Many summer cottages along the shore near the burning boat were ignited by embers blown by a stiff wind, but all were extinguished with- out serious damage. A warehouse, under construction near the drydock, however, caught fire, and was badly damaged, as was the drydock, which had recently been completed at a cost of $30,000. The value of the boat was placed at $500,000. 1924 Lines. 1923 Lines. 1,586,559 718303 475946 351672 384332 %0719 80629 1.568.052, -1,659,210 672,795 452,871 in and in the city and suburbs 38,000 greater than its nearest Sun- day competitor. while the band played.

PHILADELPHIA, September 9.—Old Jupiter Pluvius threatens to prevent the game today between the Nationals, leaders in the stirring race for the American League champlonship, and thé Athletics. There were light show- ers early, and the weather forecast calls-for more rain this afternoon. Should there be no action today, a double-header will be in order tomor- row, when more favorable weather will prevail, according to the meterological sharks. Present plans of the rival ‘managers, Bucky Harris of the Nationals and Connie Mack of the local aggregation, call for a mound duel between Jezebei Tecumseh Zachary, left-hander, and Semuel Alphonso Gray in the second game of the series here, whenever it may be held. Won Only Game. Zachary has pitched against the Mack’s only once this season, facing them in the forenoon game at ‘Washington Labor Day. He then won 5 to 3, the Athletics getting their runs off him in the ninth inning, after being held to four safeties during the first eight rounds. Gray has done some good work for the Mackmen this season, his most notable achievement being his victory over the Yankees last week. How- ever, he has pitched against the Na- tionals only once in the 19 tilts his | club has had with them, and then he wes not so impressive. Gray started a cortest here June 21, but pitched to only seven batters. The first man hit, and so did the second. ' Then came a pass. The fourth batter flied out, but the next three walked—and Gray did the same. That is all the Bucks have seen of him. Judge Back Tomorrow. Should the Nationals be forced to idle this afternoon, it is quite likely that the regular line-up would take the fleld tomorrow for a double- header. Joe Judge, who hurt his ankle last week, was to have rested today, even though the soreness has left his foot, but was to resume his job at first base tomorrow. Shirley will attend to the first sta- tion if there is a contest today. In the series opener here he performed much better than in the last two tilts in Washington. He met the ball solidly at bat and fielded in capable style around the base. When Walter Johnson took the measure of the Mackmen yesterday, he equaled the season record in the American League for consecutive pitching victories, that of 10 games established- by ‘Hollis Thurston.

URY HOLDS TWO INWOMAN'S DEATH Benjamin Lust and Harry Levy Must Answer in Ele- vator Shaft Accident. Benjamin Lust, photoplay accessory dealer, and Harry Levy, salesman for the Photoplay Distributing Corpora- tion, were held for the action of the grand jury today at a coroner's In- quest into the death of Mrs. Anna Wilson, 38-year-old waitress, who ‘down.an elevator sh; the ninth floor of the Mather Building, 916 G street, last Saturday night. ° Action of the jury came as a sur- prise to spectators at the inquest. Lust was directly accused by a juror of failing to remember a number of pertinent details about the party, in which the two defendants, the deceas- ed and Mrs. Laura George participated on the night of the accident. Tentimony by Lust. Testimony from Lust himself devel- oped that he and Levy procured in- toxicants which Mrs. Wilson imbibed; that he noticed she was “a trifle” un- der the influence of intoxicants when she went to the Mather Building, and that Lust opened the door of the ele- vator shaft down which Mrs. Wilson later fell to her death. Attorney James O'Shea represented Lust at the inquest, which was under the direction of Coroner J. Ramsay Nevitt; S. McComas Hawken repre- sented the family of the deceased woman and Assistant District Attor- ney Arthur N. Eresmont appeared for the Government. A grilling cross-examination of Lust by Bresmont was onme of the outstanding points in the inquest. Bresmont forced Lust through per- sistent questioning to account _for every movement of the party of four which started in Lust's car Saturday night in front of the Mather Build- ing and, according to testimony, pro- ceeded. to a film warehouse at New Jersey avenue and K street, where drinking was indulged in, and con- tinued to the residence of Mrs. George, at 1014 K street, where she left the party. One of the Men Not Here. From the time of the arrival of Levy, Lust and Mrs. Wilson at the Mather Building until he learned of the accident from a night watchovan there Lust was pinned d by Bresmont to specific and -accurate answers and he was perspiring freely before he left the starfd. Levy was not ar‘the inquest, al- though he had.béen listed as a wit- ness. to insert 4n the record exactly why he was-not there, and Detective Ira Keck, who investigated the case with Detective Charles Mansfield, ex- Plained that Levy had evidently mis- understood instructions not to leave town given him by the Detective Bu- reau on his release after questioning yesterday. Efforts to locate him on the long-distance telephone last night after it had been learned he had gone on a business trip were futile. Formosa Gale Kills 30. By the Associated Press.

ALESSANDR, CALE PRESDEN, QU Military Cabinet Takes Charge—Deposed Presi- | dent to Leave Country. By the Associated Press. SANTIAGO, Chile, September 9.— President Arturo Alessandri of Chile has resigned, and has been succeeded as president by n. Luis Altamarino, head of the military cabinet which assumed power Friday night. President Alessandri tendered his resignation after it had been request- ed by the cabinet and the leaders of the military group, who asked him to absent himself from the country and asserted they would guarantee his own personal safety and that of his family. New Cabinet Takes Hold. The executive functfons of the gov- ernment have been taken over by the new cabinet, with Gen. Altamarino at its head. After the approval yesterday eve- ning by the two houses of the Con- gress of the reform measures which had been demanded by the military committee, the council of state signed a proclamation announcing the steps which had been taken. Then Presi- dent Alessandri presented himself be- fore the ministry and renounced his office. | Alessandri and his family were the | guests of the American Ambassador today while they awaited constitu- tional authorization to leave the! country. Cenxorship In Inveked. A dispatch from Buenos Aires last night declared that a censorship had been put into effect in Chile on po- litical news and that reports on the current happenings in Santiago were meager. Messages received directly from Santiago yesterday declared that the new ministry had faced both houses of Congress with its reform program and had received the approval of Congress. The military committee issued a declaration asserting that the military movement would have no political character, that there was no_intention of establishing a dicta- torship of any kind, that the move- ment was inspired by a desire 167 save the nation, ruined by poligfcal and administrative corruption, and that it would not end untiy“TEs mis- sion had been fulfilled. _- Precipitated by Afmy Men. The political crisfs in Chile came to a head last wgik~when a group of army officers- ‘came before Congress with the demand for the constitution of a non-political ministry and for reform§ to benefit the condition of the-working class and the people. =The old cabinet resigned and was succeeded by a non-political one Fri- day night. President Alessandri ask- ed the military committee to submit a statement of the reforms they de- manded, and when this was, done Dboth houses of Parliament, in special session, accepted the committee’s pe- tition. i The reform measures which now had been adopted by the Chilean Parliament called for non-political govenment, immediate veto of the bill which precipitated the trouble, call- ing for the granting of salaries to the legislators, prompt passage of the budget law, payment of public em- ployes who have received no money for several months and the adoption of -measures now pending in Congress for the benefit of the working class. While the military committee has heretofore disclaimed political mo- tives in its attitude toward the gov- ernment, its action in forcing the resignation of President Alessandri and in placing the head of the new cabinet in the chief executive's of- fice would appear to give the move- ment a similarity with those brought about in’ Spain by Gen. Primo de Ri- vera and in Italy by Premier Mus- solini. ‘When newspapermen called to see the prisoners today Leopold asked one of his visitors what his opinion of the sentence was. The reply was merciless. Then Leopold offered to ke a wager. m‘nlay were ‘not worrying,” the prisoners said. Allusion to any con- cern on their part will be based sole- ly on their demeanor and not on their inner feelings, they declared. Loeb, however, lamented the lack of his “good-luck” ring, which he ex- plained was at home. Once when without it, he eaid, he had been in an automobile accident. It had been , given him by a girl friend, he said, and seemed to bear a !‘charm.” “From Press to Home Within the Hour” The Star's carrier system covers every city block and the regular edi- tion is delivered to Washington homes as fast as the papers are printed. * SHANGHAI FORCES DEFEAT INVADERS; RAIN STOPS BATTLE Defense Troops Push Back Enemy T'wo Miles on Liuho Sector. MARINES ARE ON GUARD IN FOREIGN SECTION Landed From Ships in Harbor| ‘When Fighting Draws Near Gates of City. By the Associated Press. SHANGHAL September 9.—The Che- kiang forces, defending Shanghai against the Kiangsu troops, have re- sained all the ground they had lost in the Liuho sector, northwest of this city, it was announced here late to- day. Heavy rain stopped the fighting this evening, in_accordance with the Chi- nese military tradition that fighting can be done only in good weather. Announcement of the successful counter attack near Liuho was made at the Lungwha headquarters of the Chekiang forces after two major bat- tles had engaged the troops for sev- eral houge. Rain Stops Battle. An observer who returned from that front at 4 p.m. repotted that he had seen the Chekiang troops push for- ward their fighting line for a gain of two miles. ‘rhe rainfall which stopped the fighting started very shortly afterward. Both battles, representing counter attacks by the Chekiang troops against the invading Kiangsu forces, were started at noon. One, in the ! Shanghai-Nankin Railway sector, was | started between Nansiang and Hwang- u, with Anting, 20 miles from Shan- ghai, as the objective. The other was at Liuho, on the coast northwest of | Woosung. Almost at the same time the fight- | ing started, defense units mounted guard at the approaches to the ernational settlement and the French concession, making effective in those parts of the city the “state of emer- gency,” which has been declared to exist. Marines Are Landed. ‘Warned by firing west of here, at Nausiang, 12 miles from the city, for- eign governments landed 1.100 troops from 22 warships stationed in .the harbor at daybreak today, and were ready to defend the foreign settle- | ment should it come within the line of fire before nightfall. Fighting at 3 Polnts. Fighting was carried on today at 3 points on the 100-mile front west and south of Shanghai. While no,decisive action took place, reinforcements were thrown into the fray by both sides. 5 The Wu Pei-fu central government forces took a direct hand in the bat- tle vesterday by sending troops from the province of Honan, controlled by the Peking government, into the con- flict on the side- of the invading forces. There was some indication here | that Gen. Ho Feng-lin,.defense com- mander of Shanghai, might quit for a cash consideration of $2,000,000, but the report was not warranted by any of the aggressive steps being taken | by Gen.

If the forces of the rival Peking and Mukden generals meet as expected the major battle might occur in the vast territory northwest of Peking, 1,000 miles from the Shanghai battle front. In order to lend aid to Lu Yung- hsiang, tuchun, or military govern- or of Chekiang Province and de- fender of Shanghai, Gen.
