DISTRICT PRAISED . FORRED CROSSAID ; National Officials Commend City for Exceeding Flood . Relief Quota. The achievement of the District of Columbia Chapter of the American Red Cross in exceeding its double flood relief quota by more than §30,000 was commendéd today by officials of the national organization as the national fund reached $11,478,555 and the local chapter’s contribution totaled $120,- 736.98. Contributions to The Evening Star fund now total $14,328.97. Washington's efforts toward raising the national fund for the flood suffer- ers have won it rank as one of the leading six cities of the country in contributions, National Red Cross leaders stated this morning. The local chapter has not slackened its efforts, since all chapters have been asked to raise as much as possible, irrespective of quota figures, since money is need- ed for work in the flooded areas. Theater Benefit Assists. Several thousand additional dollars already are assured to add to Wash- ontribution. The benefit per- held last night at Poli's through the co-operation of performers, managers, stage hands and musicians of the local theaters, realized more than $2,000, which will be turned over to the fund. Roland &. Robbins, who managed the big performance, stated that there was not a penny of expense, all of the artists appearing for nothing and transfer companies and other agencies donating their services. At least §2.- 000 will be contributed as a result of the Mississippi State Soclety's flood relief ball, officers of the society said this morning. Definite figures are in process of compilation. g Pupils of Western High School will aid the flood sufferers by holding a benefit performance of “Charley's Aunt,” Wednesday night at 8 o'clock at Wardman Park Theater. Tickets will be $1 and may be obtained at the local Red Cross Chapter House, 821 Sixteenth street, as well as from other sources. Employes of the Government Print- ing Office have contributed $2,008 to the relief fund, George H. Carter, pub- lic printer, stated today. “This contribution makes an aver- age of more than 50 cents for each of ,the 4,000 employes of the printing office,” he said, “although g consid- erable number of the personnel have /been away on leave or on account {of illness and other causes. The spirit lof generosity displayed by the em- “ployes in contributing to the fund for ithe flood sufferers is highly commend- able.” Among the contributions received by The Star was one for $366.75 from employes of the Continental Baking Co. Additional contributions received by The Star include: $1.00 5 2.00 es Wash. Ry. & Elect. and Potomac Electric POWEr CO. +vcvnvanvrassesss 26150 Contributions Reported.

LONDON, May 14.—An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Copen- hagen quotes the local representa- tive of the Dutch Air Navigation Co. as saying that Van Leer Black, a wealthy American, has ordered an airplane for a flight from Am- sterdam to New York. The machine, a Fokker, is equip- ped with three Lynx motors. Mr. Black has engaged G. S. Jsendorf- fer, a Dutch pilot, the dispatch adds. The flight will probably be by way of the Faroe Islands and Iceland. . BRITISH AND SOVIET FACE OPEN BREAK OVER LONDON RAIDS (Continued_from First Page) government as compared with that of Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, the Northern Chinese leader, the latest raid is a much more serious affair. Official quarters are represented as looking upon the Londo) incident as reflecting the policy, attributed to Great Britain, of seeking to place So- viet Russia in a false position by al- leging that compromising documents have been found. Rupture Held Imminent. Izvestia, Soviet organ, commenting on the raid, says it virtually means the beginning of realization of the rupture of relations mentioned in For- eign Secretary Chamberlain’s last note to Russia. Its object, the paper adds, is to deal a blow at the most vital nerve of Anglo-Soviet relations, and it is part of the policy of the British government, which, in order to enact the trade unions bill, must divert the attention of the public. “The British policy of bringing about a rupture,” it continues, “is full of danger and grave complications.” This will hardly please British commercial and financial circles, which recognize they will lose much more than the Soviet. Speculate on Effect. “The wrecking of Anglo-Soviet con- nections will have a ruinous effect on the economic situation in Europe, but the responsibility rests entirely on the British government, which started with forgery and ends with a pogrom.” Pravda, communist newspaper, de- clares in an editorial today that the raid is simply further aggravation of an already tense international situa- tion, and is part of Sir Austen Cham- berlain’s policy of provocation, “which, having failed in Peking, is being given a new setting.” Imperialists, the paper adds, are try- ing to kindle an artificial conflict, which the people of neither Great Brit- -ain nor t¥@ Soviet union want. Channe! ports are being watched much as they were in the last days of the war. and outgoing trawlers are being submitted to close scrutiny by detectives of the special political branch. In usually well infornied quarters the missing documents are believed to relate to the latest Japanese-British pourparlers, but, of course, there is no way of confirming this. Scotland Yard officials refuse to make any com- ments, and even the most talkative ones refer eager newspaper men to “the statements the government un- doubtedly will make in the House of Commons in due time.” Credit Is Denled.

The credit, the paper added, was for the hase of goods for Russia in Great STATE PAPERS VANISH. Cabinet Member’s Lost Documents Be- lieved Cause of Raid. By Radio The Star News. "Copptieht, 16810 Dally LONDON, May 14.—Hunt for im- portant secret diplomatic documents, Wwhich are alleged to have disappeared Thursday from the home of a cabinet minister and which Scotland Yard be- lieves -found their way to Soviet espionage headquarters located in the trade mission, was conducted feverish- ly throughout last night. The greatest secrecy is preserved by police and government departments : to the nature of the stolen documents, but how tremendously important any are can be gathered -from various statements that the British govern- 0 | ment is willing to bring about a rup- ture of relations with the Soviets rather than allow the documents to be taken out of the country. —_— Many girls who declare théy'vg nothing to wear almost prove it.

Main 3830 _THE EVENING STAR., WASHINGTON, CHILDREN DELIGHT IN DANCE PROGRAM Spring Festival at Belasco Theater Last Night Has Many Interesting Features. Youth, beauty, artistic costuming and well trained talent combined to make a delightful entertainment of the children’s Spring festival, given by Miss Minnie Hawke, at the Belasco Theater last night for the benefit of the building fund of the Episcopal Home for Children. One of the most interesting features was the playlet, “Beneath a Circus Tent,” written by Miss Hawke's niece, Mrs. Minnie Saxton Bliss. This gave several youthful artists an op- portunity to exhibit their ability as actors as well as dancers. Audrey Seiber was especially clever, Miss Seiber is an accomplished little dancer as well as a natural actress, and has a promising future. She took a prominent part in the ballet numbers, dancing with Ru Shaughnessy in the “Pas de Deux with_a group of “Spring blossom! in “Pas des Bouquets” and alone i the balloon dance, in addition to being the central figure in other group dances. Other characters in the playlet were Miss Shaughnessy, Marion McCarthy, Virginia Trullinger, Rachel Merritt, Edna Lee Unruh, James Thornton, Wilson Tolford, Margaret Thornton, Constance Harrell, Carol Wall, Dan Gillmor, Shirley Seiber and Pasha Slavin. Helen Dick, juvenile character dancer, also showed more than aver- age talent, especially in her execu- tion of the Russian dance, with Hazel Baiarsky, and the “Waltz Pompa- dour,” with Wilson Tolford. Vallette Schmidt, Miss Shaughnessy end Virginia Trullinger added much to the entertainment by their easy performance of quaint dances. Miss Schmidt gave an excellent interpreta- tion of the “Danse Oriental.” No less charming was the nursery group, which included children of 3, 4 and 5 Summers, many of whom were as self-possessed as the *‘grown- ups.” Little Edna Lee Unruh and Shirley Seiber were two of the most skillful, Flyer Acquitted of Slaying.

D. ©, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1927. el S e THREE-CORNERED RACE TO PARIS ' MAY BE STAGED (Continued from First Page.) Harbor Main, 30 miles west of Har- bor Grace, that an aircraft had passed the point late yesterday afternoon, while two residents at Harbor Breton, 100 miles southwest of Harbor Grace, said a plane passed the point last Monday morning. However, little credence was placed in the Harbor Main' reports. Fog hampered search in the New- foundland region yesterday. Two transatlantic liners ayriving in New York reported the presence of 20 ice- bergs in the ship lane where Nun- gesser and Coll may have drifted. The liner France, following Nun- gesser's course from France to Amer- ica, found no-sign of the lost White Bird. Capt. Roald Amundsen, Arctic ex- plorer, at Winnipeg, said he placed litle faith in the Newfoundland rumors. Silence of ite radio will be the SOS signal of the Bellanca monoplane. A wireless apparatus described as the most elaborate ever installed on any airplane will send long dashes from the Columbia at one-minute intervals as the craft cruises over the ocean. Through the signal, land stations and ships at sea can follow the course of the plane, always estimating its po- sition from the flashes. If trouble oc- curs and the radio is silenced, the stillness may be regarded as a dis- tress signal, and over the radio-laid trail help may come. The transmitter will have a radius of 250 to 500 miles under favorable conditions, its builders said. The trans- mitting key will operate through use of an automatic device that will sound the dasHies. A control switch will al- low message transmission. PARIS STILL HOPES. News of Search for Missing Flyers Eagerly Read; Beacons to Aid Rivals. PARIS, May 14 (#).—The faint breath of hope that Capt. Nungesser and his transatlantic flight com- panion, Capt. Coli, may yet be found has been fanned by further dipatches corroborative of the news that their plane was heard over Newfoundland. Today's editions of the newspapers were filled' with cable dispatches de- scribing the hunt for the missing avia- tors. The papers were eagerly bought and scanned by the public, which was particularly touched by the liberal re- wards offered by Americans for the person who first discovers the flyers or traces of their plane.
