Probably not since the close of the World War has there been such a brilliant scene ag that which will greet the expected throngs. Light- ing effects, never before approached here, will dazzle the visitors at night, while nearly every business estab- lishment and many private dwellings gayly bedecked with municipal and national flags will add to the color- ful display. Workmen Toil in Grounds. Within the exposition grounds a veritable army of workmen is making herculean efforts to have the expo- sitfon spick and span for the open- ing Monday.

He has been with the Agriculture Department under a leave of absence granted by the university last September. Secretary Jardine, in accepting Mr. Cooper’s resignation, effective June 10, appointed Lioyd S, Tenny_acting chief of the bureau. He has been serving as Mr. Cooper’s assistant. MUSIC GEORGE THOMPSON'S RECITAL. George Dixon Thompson, one of the vounger group of planists of Washington, appeared in recital for the benefit of the building fund of the Hamline M. E. Church last night. Mr. Thompson returned home the first of the week from a_year' absence spent principally in Vienna, Austria, where he studied under the supervision of Fmile Sauer. While he was gone Mr. Thompson seems to have gained considerably in pro- fessional preciseness of execution. He also seems to have learned some unusual things in_interpretation of the old masters. His Viennese asso- ciations were warmly reflected in the last group, his best of the evening, which included Godowsky's “Alt Wien,” “Viennese Waltzes” by Shu- bert-Liszt, Lisat's “Twelfth Hun- garfan Rhapsody” and. as encore, that same composer’s “Liebestraum.” There was real atmosphere in the waltzes and the rhapsody showed clearycut brilliancy in the swift { arneggios. ! The opening number of the evening {was Chopin’s “Funeral March Son- ‘ata,”, opus 35, in which the scherzo and the march movements were espe- cially well_done. The middle group, too, was Chopin—an etude with un- usual phrasing, a waltz, a ballad and the scherzo in C sharp minor. Mr. Thompson gets the general Chopin color very well, but that subtle, in- tangible something that the great Paderewski and, in a different way, the younger Brailowski, catch and turn into marvelous sound, seemed to The shimmering romance is not there. A more Teu- tonic matter-of-factness prevails in- stead. Also, a Brahms or Schumenn group might have offered more va- viety. The encore was Grodski's “i3arcarolle,” an odd work. The isting soloist on the pro- gram was Mary D. Thompson, so- prano, who, accompanied at the plano Curren. r., of ipe of Harrisonburg, Va. reeland and Lela Mason, Stawart_and Sy inn o both 0f Penn Rus, Pa. endels- Dun “The Bitterness of Love,” and Mrs. Beach's “The Years at the Spring,” with the familiar song, “The Four- Leaf Clover,” as encots.

C. OFFICE. Women Donate Library and $5,280 to Headquarters Here. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J,, May 29.— The prize home library of 100 volumes which are considered essential for every home by the fine arts depart- ment of the General Federation of Women's Clubs will be presented to the headquarters office at Washing- ton, it was announced by Mrs. L. A. Miller, chairman of the division of lit- erature, in the general session of the convention this morning. The an- nouncement followed the award of prizes to the winners in the home library contest, which was conducted by the division of literature, this Spring. Prizes aggregating $200 were offer- ed for the best list of 100 titles of typical books for the American home to be selected from a list of 700 books compiled by the contest committee. Mrs. George Unnewehr of Berkeley, Calif., was awarded the first prize of $100. The volumes appearing on her list are the ones to be given to head- { quarters. Mrs. Unnewehr is the Cali- fornia State chairman of literature Seven representative American au- thors appear on the list, including Edgar Allen Poe, Nathaniel Haw- thorne, . Washington Irving, Mary Mapes Dodge, . D. Thorea, Walt Whitman and Benjamin Franklin. Gifts to Headquarters. . Yesterday was headquarters day for receiving gifts. Following the report of the house committee chairman, Mrs. Florence Bibert, in which she stated that a maintenance fund was much needed by the Washington of- fice, free will offerings began to pour in from all sources and before the session adjourned a fund of $5,280 had been pledged by individual mem- bers of the convention. The fund continued to grow this morning, dona- tions belng made periodically from the floor during the general session. & A most unexpected gift was pre- sented to headquarters by the Penn- sylvania State federation at the ses- sion last night. It was a framed copy of the Declaration of Independ- ence, to be hung in the clubhouse at ‘Washington. Mrs, Caroline 1. Griesheimer of civil service headquarters at Wash- ington and John T. Doyle, secretary of the Civil Service Commission, who are visiting Atlantic City, were guests at a’tea given yesterday afternoon at the Chalfonte by Mrs. John T. Mason, chairman of the civil service commit- tee of the general federation. A measure providing for placing public school teachers under State or municipal civil service was agreed upon as one of the main legislative projects to be emphasized by the fed- eration group in the immediate fu- ture. Endoresment of the Cramton bill, providing for the classification of prohibition agents under civil service will be another feature of its pro- gram. Two Capital Speakers. Extension of classified service under the Morton B. Hull bill, giving :the President power to extend civil serv- ice in the field at his own discretion, is the third big legislative measure to be advocated by Mrs. Mason’s di- vision. Two Capital speakers appeared on the program yesterday. Dr. Willlam Mather Lewls, president of George ‘Washington University, addressed the convention on ‘Education for “Citi- nship.” Dr. Lewis declared that “youth 'has never been more earnest in seeking an education than it is in the present generation.” INustrating his point, Dr. Lewis cited the 6,000 students ‘enrolled &t George Washington University, majority of wWhom are taking full university courses, with degrees as their goal. After working ejght hours a day in home, Government or busi. ness office, “these young men an women come to us,” said Dr. and we give them the same work an with the same 'instructors as the morning cclasses.” B Maj. John Thomas Taylor, from Washington headquarters of the American Legion, -in his addrese de- livered vesterday afterhoon, urged the general federation.as ‘a- body to lend its support to the universal service bill now ‘pending and warned them against ‘anti-preparedness propaganda. — Civil War Veteran Dies.

C, SATURDAY, |[IOWA DEMOCRATS SEE CHANCE TO WIN SEAT (Continued from Ficst Page) iself a member of the American Le- &ign, is making a play for the legion vote. Mr. Finch is not widely known and is not expected to cut much of a figure in the race. The Porter-Murtaugh-Files contest, however, has revived in a measure some of the antagonium of the Demo- cratic national convention in 1924. ‘'he Marsh faction favored Gov. Al Smith and the others McAdoo in that memorable convention. Murtaugh is a Catholic and regarded as “liberal” if not wet. Porter is dry as a bone. Kian Jssue Revived. The row in the Democratic national | convention over the so-called Kian |plank has been dug up and reprinted in & Waterloo newspaper, Murtaugh's home town. Coples of ‘the story have been reprinted and are being circu- lated in leaflet form. 1t gives the vote of the Iowa delegation on the Klan plank and both Mr. Porter and Mr. Files are shown to have voted “for the Klan.” Furthermore, Mr. Mur- taugh, in an address in Davenport, before the Knights of Columbus, is sald to have attacked both Mr. Porter and Mr. Files. A considerable number of lowa Democrats are Catholics. Not a few of the Democrats are wet. Nevertheless, Mr. Porter is account- ed here as the probable winner of the nomination. Indeed, some of the predictions are that he will have a vote as large as the combined vote for Murthaugh and Files. ‘There is a greal demand among the Democrats of lowa for harmony, despite efforis in_some quarters to stir up trouble. National Committee | man Herring is preaching it vigor- ously. He points to the chance which the Democrats have really to accom- plish something in the senatorial race if they all hang together and benefit by disgruntled Republican support. A kind of tentative agreement exists among the three principal candidates for the Senate nomination -that the one who gets the largest vote shall be the nominee, whether: he shall have received the necessary 33 per cent of the total vole cast or less than that per cent. The plan is to avoild a scramble in a Democratic convention, to which the nomination would go if no candidate had received at least 35 per cent of the vote cast. All of this fs in the interest of harmony. | Vote Often Is Light. Despite the fact there are four can- didates in the field, the belief is that there Is little probability of one of them failing to receive 35 per cent or more of the total vote cast. In Democratic primaries in Iowa the vote is usually light, for the simple reason that Democratic nominees rarely win elections here. Under such circumstances, thé con- tests for nominations are not brisk. When Senator Daniel E. Steck was nominated in 1924, the vote cast was about 60,000. There were two other candidates in the race against Sena- tor Steck, but he won by a con- siderable margin. The expectation this vear, however, i{s that the vote in the Democratic primary will run as high as 100,000—provided some of them do not go into the Republican primaries to register their protests either against C'ummins or Brook- hart. The feeling of some of the Democratic leaders is that the con- test for the Democratic senatorial nomination is a good thing. It should serve, they say, to help keep the Democratic voters in line. They would not like to see votes wandering away to Brookhart or Cummins, fear- ing that they might stick to the Re- publican nominee in the general elec- tion in November. : If Claude R. Porter is nominated by the Democrats, he is likely to give any one of the Repuplican cadidates & stiff run. He is a progressive. Dur- ing the Wilson administration hq was United States attorney and prosecuted “Big Bill” Hayward and the other I. W. W's. He became Assistant Attor- ney General in the same administra- tion and resigned that office to become chief counsel for the Federal Trade Commission. He is a veteran of the Spanish-American War and a veteran of many political campaigns. He has been drafted time and again in the past to make the race for governor, senator, etc., on the Democratic ticket. Ran Against Cummin: Now he is actively seeking a Demo- cratic nomination for the first time. ‘Twenty years ago he was a candidate for governor against Senator Cum- mins and gave him a tight race. Mr. Porter’s dryness killed him off in that fight, for enough wet Democrats are said to have voted for Senator Cum- mins, who was the outstanding pro- gressive in those days, to swing the balance agalnst Porter. Mr. Porter had some of the conservative support then, which this Fall may be lined up with Senator Cummins and against Porter if the two should be opponents. So run the changes in political align- ments. The Democratic candidates for the Senate, like the Republicans, are prom- ising aid to the farmers of Iowa in the event of their election to the Senate. There is this difference, however. The Democratic candidates are inclined to attack the Republican protective tarifft in order to bring the farmer to a parity with the industrial East in the purchasing power of his dollar. That | Adoo man in 1924. is in line with traditional Democratic IN G. O. P. FIGHT principles, The industrial East, they figure, is on stilts, due to the high ff. They would shorten these stilts to bring the farmers of the West more on a level, rather than build very high stilts under the farmers. s Mr. Porter's ideas regarding the farm problem, in view of the promi- nent position he holds in the sen: torial race, are particularly intere: ing. He has four proposals for ‘the ald of the farmers. First, he would reduce the ‘tariff. Second, he would demand a rigld enforcement of the Sherman anti-trust law. Third, be- cause it necessarily would take some time to bring about the readjustment due to a change in the tariff, he pro- poses to support any farm legisla- tlon program which is agreed upon by the Iowa farmers. In other words, it he were in the Senate today, he would veote for the McNary-Haugen bill. Fourth, Mr. Porter demands an “affirmative foreign policy” by this Government to aid in bringing about peace in Europe, so that the European nations may be in a better position to absorb America's surplus crops and American farmers may have a greater foreign market for their produce. Change in Party Rules. lowa Democrats’ have taken the lead in the movement to do away with ths two-thirds rule for the seiection of presidentfal and yice presidential candidates. lyde T. Herring, the Democratic national committeeman, who has been polling the members of the nationa! committee on the subject, said today that he wms very hopeful the change in the ruies of the Democratic conventions would be brought about in 1928. So far he has received replies from 49 of the 96 members of the national commit- tee—a majority. They line up as fol- lows: Thirty-two for abrogation, 8 non-committal and 9 opposed. John F. Costello, national committeeman for the District of Columbia, is one of those recorded in favor of abro- gation. Mrs. J. Borden Harriman. the national committeewoman for the District, has not yet been heard from. Mr. Herring insists that considera tion of the abrogation of the two- thirds rule shouid have nothing to do with the chances of any candidate for the presidential nomination in 1928. He, himself, was a strong Mec- Gov. Al Smith’s friends have given their approval to the plan for the abrogation® of the two-thirds rule, and in some quarters it has been intimated that the Smith people now favor majority rule in the coming convention, believing Smith can be nominated under that rule. Mr. Herring, defending the prin- ciple of the majority rule, said that | if Gov. Smith is favored by a major- ity of the delegates at the next con- vention, then he ought to be nomi nated. That is plain talk. But Mr. Herring is convinced that the two- thirds rule does more harm to the party than the nomination of any, candidate possibly could do, in the long run. McAdoo's View Reported. ‘William Gibbs McAdoo was in Des Moines earlfer this week to address a convention of co-operatives. He was a guest of Mr. Herring while in the city. He Is positively not talking politics, he tells the newspapers. It is known, however, that Mr. Mo- Adoo has placed his seal of approval on the proposal to abrogate the two- thirds rule. ‘With Gov. Smith and his friends also approving, it would seem to be almost unanimous, except for some of the Southern States representatives and some who represent States which have “favorite sons.” But there is a hitch. a kink, vet to be ironed out. While Mr. McAdoo approves the abrogation of the two- thirds rule, he does not believe that the unit rule., governing the vote of State delegations in the convention, should be tampered with. The Smith people insist that the unit rule must o with the two-thirds rule. Mr. Mc: Adoo's attitude is that each State has a right to decide whether its delega- tion shall vote as a unit, according to the decision of a majority of its dele- gation, or shall vote as individuals. Only the Democratic national con- vention itself can adopt a majority rule and do away with the two-thirds rule for nominations. Mr. Herring pointed out that the change can be made by a majority vote of the con- vention, and does not require a two- thirds vote. The rules of each con- vention are adopted by that conven- tions, and are adopted by a majority vote, he said. If the committees on rules reports a majority rule, or if it reports a two-thirds rule and an amendment is offered from the floor proposing as an amendment to the committée report a majority rule. it can be adopted by a majority of the delegates. Mr. Herring said he believed, and it is a reasonable bhelief, that if the members of the Democratic national committee are overwhélmingly in favor of the change in the rules, as his poll would indicate up to date, the delegations to the next convention ‘will also be found favorable to it. In that event the two-thirds rule, which helped to keep the last convention in session for many davs and caused hatred and suspicion, will be thrown into the discard. % | | ! To Force Vote on After repeated efforts failed to bring an agreement for a time to vote on the migratory bird bill, which has been before the Senate for nearly two weeks, a group of Senators started a movement late yesterday to invoke the rare weapon of cloture. The petition for cloture was circu-- lated after renewed efforts to obtain an agreement for a vote next Tuesday bad failed. Eighteen Senators signed the petition, which was circulated by Senator McKellar, Democrat, Tennes- see, and which may be presented Tuesday unless an agreement for a vote is reached meantime.

CAPTC.M.DEVALIN 5 RDERED TRED Wilbur Asks Court-Martial of Officer on Charge of Liquor Misuse. By the Associated Preee. Secretary Wilbur has ordered Capt. Charles M. De Valin, commandant of the Norfolk Naval Hospital, court- martialed on charges of intoxication, use of Government liquor and mis. use of a_ Government truck. Capt. De Valin's executive officer, Comdr. Robert G. Heiner, preferred the charges against his superior. The principal charge is intoxication, although the specifications are un- derstood to include the use of liquor sent to the hospital after having been confiscated under prohibition laws. The charge of misuse of a Govern- ment truck is in connection with the granting of permission by Dr. De Valin for salvaged material of an old building to be taken away to be used in erecting a cabin for hunting pur poses on private property. In addition to the court-martial of De Valin, the Navy Department has asked doctors stationed at the Nor- folk hospital to submit explanations of the necessity for the amount of liquor prescribed for patients, which was shown in the examination of hos- pital records. De Valin is a member of the Navy Medical Corps. IMMEDIATE TRIAL FOR MORSE LOOMS Sargent Orders Action on 1922 Indictment Charging Mail Stock Fraud. By the Associated Press. c Immediate trial of Charles W Morse of New York and others, under indictment. returned in New York in 1922, was ordered yesterday by At- torney General Sargent. The indictment charged conspiracy to use the malls to defraud in connec- tion with the sale of stock: of the United States Steamship Co. Fletcher Dobyns of Chicago has been designated as a special assistant to prosecute the case. He probably will be assisted by Sylvester R. Rush of the Department of Justice. The Morse corporation was organ ized and controlled by Morse and hi. sons, Harry F., Benjamin W and E win A., who, the Department of Jus- tice said, are the principal defend- ants. Tt is expected the case will be brought to trial within 60 days. BLANTON THREATS TO ‘HANDLE’ HOGAN ENLIVEN HEARING ___(Contlnued from First Page) in the case bore a notation signed by Mr. Fenning, which stated that inas- much as he had been interested in this provision as a representative of the Medical Society before he became a Commissioner he did not feel he was qualified to take part in the de- liberations on the revocation of the order. Dr. Fowler in his letter to the Commissioners declared he had been charged in the newspapers with not enforcing the Gilbert law. Admits Getting Hearing. Dr. Hubert N. Roberts, chairman of the legislative committee of the Chiropractors’ Association, _testified on direct examination that Mr. Fen- ning -had refused the chiropractors a hearing on a bill to protect the public against “fakes.” At the hearing in question, he testified, the allopaths were allowed to present their views. In this connection Mr. Blanton charged that by reason of his con- nection with the Medical Society Mr. Fenning retarted action on the chiro- practors’ bill. Under cross-examination by Mr. Hogan the witness admitted the chiropractors® had been given a hearing on the bill before the Com- missioners at which no representa- tives of the Medical Society were present. He testified, however, that the Commissioners have not given a report on the bill. Chairman Dyer, Republican, of Missouri declared that if a Commissioner did not recommend certain legislation ‘“that can’t be held against him.” Mr. Blanton then called to the stand M. T. Hizer, a $2,100-a-year fireman and driver of Commissioner Rudolph’s car. €hairman Dyer re- fused to permit the witness to testify because no connection . was. shown with the case under investigation.| “If we don’t limit:-some of this' we | will be here all Summer.” Rudolph Data Barred.
