Kowceda Sentenced for Assassinating Soviet Minister in Warsaw. By the Associated Press. WARSAW, Poland, June 16.—Life imprisonment with the loss of civil rights is the sentence pronounced on Boris Kowceda for the assassination of Peter Voikoff, Soviet Minister at ‘Warsaw. The court decided, however, to petition the President to commute the sentence to 15 years’ servitude. ‘When the trial opened yesterday the 19-year-old student admitted with- out hesitation that he killed the Soviet envoy, but said he was not guilty of murder. He described his act as one of revenge for what the bolshevists had done in Russia. The authorities took precautions to deal with any demonstrations for or against the prisoner, but there was mno untoward incident. Assassinated June 7. The assassination of M. Voikoff took place June 7 at a railway sta- tion, where he had gone to bid good- bye to A. P.

Going into details as to his reasons for shooting the minister, Kowceda #aid that what he saw as a boy in Samara imbued him with hatred against the Soviet. Hearing that the Soviet was becoming worse than ever, he stated that he decided to go to Rus sia, but that the Soviet government refused him a passport. and it was then he made up his mind to kill M.

HONORED BY ALMA MATER. Comdr. Byrd Receives Degree at Vir- ginia Institute. By the Associated Pres LEXINGTON, , June 16.—With transatlantic flights for the moment in the background, Comdr. Richard E. Byrd, the first man to fly over the North Pole, came back to Virginia Military Institute yesterday to receive a high honor from his alma mater— the honorary degree of civil engineer. Characterizing the intrepidity of the aviator in braving the dangers of the great unexplored North as “the truz spirit of V. M. L,” Gen. William H. Cocke, president of the school, con- ferred the degree on the dauntless flyer before a distinguished assemblage in Jackson Memorial Hall. A copy of the log of the famous flight was ac- cepted by the college as a thesis. Turning to his mother, the com- mander kissed her hand and handed the degree to her—a custom of long standing at V. M. L. Comdr. Byrd left here by automo- bile following the exercises for Win- chester, accompanied by his wife, Gov. and Mrs. Harry F. Byrd, his mother and his brother Thomas. He expected to leave Winchester for New York, where his tri-motored Fokker mono- plane is reported ready for a flight across the Atlantic. WINCHESTER, Va., June 16 (#).— Comdr. Richard E. Byrd, who came to the home of his mother here last night after the honorary degree of civil engineer was_conferred upon him by the Virginia Military Institute, was in conference several hours with Albert Bumstead of the National Geo- graphic Society, going over a large detailed map of Western Europe. The map was made especlally for him by Mr. Bumstead, who brought it from Washington. Mr. Bumstead also turn- ed over to the aviator a large batch of typewritten sheets said to contain detailed descriptive matter invaluable to air navigators. Comdr. Byrd de- clined to disclose the precise nature of the documents. Altitudes and di tances were shown on the map in red ink. These included also the Alpine country Comdr. Byrd denied a New York dis- patch to the effect that his transocena ic plans were so elastic for guiding his monoplane that he might even cross Europe and the Pacific Ocean before he ended the trip.

As might be expected, they retired early. Less than half a mile before they ed the Lodge they stopped their witomobiles to look upon a small herd of buftalo. Other Animals Abound. sveral hundred of these animals are sald to roam freely within confines of Custer Park, which is a rve of more than 50,000 There are thousands of elks Qeer and antelope and some bear and other animals, but none of these were noted last night or this morning. Mountain lions also are said to be found in this section, but park au- thorities contend that the last one of these beasts was killed several years a The first glimpse the President and Mrs. Coolidge had of real cowboys was during their motor ride to the lodge last night. They were given a rousing greeting by more than 100 cowboys at Hermosa. The men staged a tabloid rodeo for the distinguished visitors, and then rode along with the presiden- tial calvalcade for several miles Everybody about the Summer White House appeared well and happy this morning and expressed themselves as being delighted with the spot. M James F. Coupal, the President’s pk sician, and Col. Blanton Winship are housed in a cottage about 1,000 yards away from the lodge. The secret serv- ice men and chauffeurs are living in attractive log cabins nearb; The President’s special arrived at Rapid City, which is to be the base of supplies for the Summer White House, 32 miles away, and in which is located the Executive Office shortly after 5 o'clock, mountain time, yesterday aft- ernoon. This thriving agricultural center did itself_proud in the matter of appro- priatély receiving the President and Mrs. Coolidge when they alighted aft- er the long trip. The streets about the little station were thronged and along the route taken by the President through the town on his way to the ame lodge the curbs were lined. Not only was the town's population itself on hand to join in the welcome, but thousands of families from out in the prairies, and the hills, and neighbor- ng villages helped swell the crowd and add their cheers and handclapping to the happy acclaim accorded the dis- shed temporary citizens from the White House. The little city was all dolled up for this occasion. bedecked with flags and bunting, and banners containing friend- ly greetings, bands playing and with several companies of the National Guard from this section of the State drawn up in an impressive manner on the station plaza, Rapid City showed that its citizens had taken pains in arranging. the greeting. Bellamy Heads Committee. Paul Bellamy, one of the political leaders in this section, headed a com: mittee of about 30 citizens, who for- mally received Mr. and Mrs. Coolidze in their private car before they left the train. As the couple later appeared on the station platform, the battery of the State Guard fired the presiden- tial salute of 21 guns. This was follow- ed by a few moments of cheering and clapping and waving and then the little caravan of automobiles contain- ing the presidential party started on the long ride to the game lodge. If President Coolidge entertained any doubt about the manner in which his invasion of the West would be ac- cepted by the people out here, it was removed very soon after his train reached South Dakota. In fact, in Minnesota and Wisconsin, although the greater part of the journey through them was during the dark- ness of the night. there were evidences of genuine interest and pleasure on the part of the ctizens. But it was regarding South Dakota, the State which voted against his nomination in 1924 and within whose borders he is to reside until Fall, that he was most concerned. The journey of his train across the State as far as Rapid City, where he and Mrs. Coolidge alighted, was strongly sug- gestive of a triumphal procession. Greeted at Stations. At every station along the railroad, whether the train was to stop or not, and even at many of the lonely ings. there were gatherings of natives to join in_South Dakota’s welcome to the Chief Executive. There was every evidence that these Westerners are all puffed up over the President's acation in_their State and wanted to let the President and the Nation some idea of their appreciation. sense of State pride and appre- ciation as well reverence for the office of President, and the fact that probably very few of the man thousands contributed to these happy greetings along the way had never before seen a President, may have had something to do with the size of these crowds. At any rate, the crowds were on hand _and therr manifestations of friendliness and pleasure were abso- lutely sincere. These almost countless demonstrations, which commenced early in the morning and continued to the journey’s end, were all that could be desired. Probably the most notable welcome occurred at Plerre, the State capital. The population turned out en masse. As one member of the reception com- mittee mentioned within the hearing of the President, “the only people who are not on hand to join in our wel- come today, are those who are bed- ridden or else out of town.” It was here in this famous frontier town with . history that is both old and roman- tic, that Gov. William J. Bulow formally welcomed the President and the First Lady to South Dakota. The houses and buildings in the business ction were decorated for the occa- sion and the streets lined and the station platform jammed with the happy populace. As the President and Mrs. Coolidge stepped off their special r with the governor and Senator Norbeck, who had been guests on the train during the greater part of yesterday. they were greeted with three loud, lusty’ cheers, followed by some ‘‘whoop-ees,” so familiar in the it open spaces. The town band ved its best and its loudest. Visits State Capitol. After several minutes of this out- burst the presidential party was mo- tored to the State Capitol, within which a brief reception was held. The President rode with the governor in one car and Mrs. Coolidge with Col. Blanton Winship, the President's military aide, in another. Neither car was anything to brag about, eithe® from the name of their make ance. However, these d to Mit in well with the picture presented by this and cattle town. The road- were none too smooth and there was nothing pretentious or par- ticularly inspiring about the homes and business buildings. But the na- showed pride in their capital city Their chief pride, however, was in their State Capitol Building, a very creditable structure, too. They were proud not only of the building itself and the surrounding grounds and the little artificial lake at the bottom of the stoping front lawn, but of the fact that such a_handsome building cost only a little over $600,000. Tt was explained, also with great pride, that the reason this build- ing cost so little was that there was a total absence of graft in connection with its_construction “'Old Honest Sam Elrod wes gover- prairie way tives the | {ence of Mr. j of resentmen | the Upper: The President and Mrs. Cool- ze as they reached Wicker Park, Hammond, to participate in the city’s observance of flag day on Tuesday.

This big fellow, because of that straw hat, lost the chance of being the first man in cowboy regalia to he seen by the President on his trip West. Tough 014 Days. While motoring through the town, the route carried the party through a section to which the Pr i tention was called beca distinction of having once been the toughest quarter-mile in t ction of the West. But that v s ago when every building was a saloon or dance hall or gambling house and, hence somebody was ‘“popped off” every night or That was back i the 80’s. It is peaceful and respectable now. All that remains of that dark period is a long two-story frame build- ing which the President was told served on those days as the principal den of Pierre. The day had been an ideal one up until haif an hour after departing from Pierre. It then rained during the remainder of the journey, but thi did not seem to bother or otherwise check the spirits of the natives along the remainder of the way. At each succeeding station there were crowds, probably a little smaller in size than the earlier ones, but just as friendly | and interested. Up until the moment of the rain, the President and Mrs. Coolidge spent most of their time vesterday on the | platform of the observation car. only did they appear interested in gi ing the crowds an opportu them and to respond to the shout of welcome, but they waned to mis nothing of the scenen: It was a| country so strange and @iierent in v every respect to that with which re so familiar. The President chowed great interest in the level ground, the splendid appearance of | the grain, at the junction of the Mis- souri and the Jim Rivers and later, when the sage brush country ap- peared, in the large herds of cattle. Politics Are Avoided. Although the President received any number of the leading Republicans of the State during his trip. through South Dakota, a score of whom rode for several hours on the special train, he indicated no desire to talk politics. During his brief chats with these party men, the conversation was con- fined_principally to the subject of the President’s vacation, the people at the stations, the crops and the ap- pearance of the country. There was some comment on the fact that Senator McMaster and Re- presentatives Johnson and Williamson of this State did not join the welcom- ing party of leaders. This comment, however, was not made in the pres- Coolidge and the surmise of some was that these three Republi- cans absented themselves, fearing that a too close connection with the Cool- idge visit might react against them at the polls next Fall. South Dakota is supposed 1o be in somewhat of a “revolt” against Mr. Coolidge be- cause of his stand on farm relief leg- islation. But there were no evidences nywhere. Rather there was an expression of genuine good will. 5C0 'IB—T;(E EIY_ TRIP. | Southern Maryland Society Will Visit Navy Proving Grounds. Special Dispatch to The Star.

Johnston, unable to rally on the in- coming route as he did so spectacu- larly yesterday, found a trap on the short thirteenth and took a 5, two over par. After getting his par 4 on the fourteenth, he was again in a trap on the fifteenth, losing another stroke as he notched a 5. He was 10 strokes over par at this juncture, his previous advantage fast dissipated. Johnston collapsed entirely on the final nine. After taking two over par on the tenth and a par on the elev- enth, he shot a 9 on the par 5 twelfth. He was in trouble at every turn, find- ing traps several times. From then on he shot three par holes and a like number over par. His card: In: 6495453 45—45—234 Jones Starts Uphill Fight. Bobby Jones, again attracting a tremendous gallery, started an uphill fight for the defense of his champion- ship. He was 153, six strokes away from the leader, for 36 holes. The Atlanta ace missed a four-foot putt for a “birdie” on the first hole and took 5. Jones got an easy par 4 on the sec- ond, but was in the rough with his drive on the third, overshot the green and took two putts for 5, one over par. He was just off the green in two on the 536-yard fourth, chipped up nicely and sank a five-footer for a birdie 4. After a safe par 4 on the fifth, the champion put his tee shot in a trap bordering the 187-yard sixth. He chipped to three feet of the cup, but missed the putt and was one over par again with a 4. Bobby laid his mashie-iron five feet from the seventh hole and bagged a “birdie” 3 to square accounts with par.

He pulled his tee shot a few inches from a trap on the fifth, 125 yards from the green, and from the rough went into a trap to the right of the green. He was well out, but with two putts needed 5. Hagen reached the 187-vard sixth from the tee and was down in the regulation two putts. After a good drive on the seventh the “Haig” was too bold with his approach, the ball carrying over the green into a trap. He barely got out, and when he had to have two putts for a 5 he was 2 over par. His tee shot found a trap on the 253-yard eighth and came out 15 feet from the cup. The putt was off the line and he took 4, sending him 3 over par. Hagen bagged a birdie 4 at the ninth to make the turn in 39. His second was off the green and it was necessary to cut a gallery restraining rope to give him an avenue of ap- proach to the green. He placed the ball 4 feet from the cup and ran it down with an ease that was non- chalant. He had been 3 over par and the birdie reduced it to 2 for nine holes. His card: Out—5 4 5 4 5 3 4 439 Recovers Lost Strokes. Hagen recovered another of his lost strokes with a birdie 3 on No. 10, where he holed a 30-foot putt. The eleventh was scored in par 4, where his second was on and his approach putt was well up. Hagen joined a booming drive with a long brassie, leaving him a short pitch to the green, which he executed in good style and was 30 feet from the cup in 3. His putt was an inch away and he was down in 2 for a 5 par 5 on a hole where 8s are easily possible. He was on the 164-yard thirteenth from the tee and got the par 3 in two putts, missing a birdie 2 by inches again. A long drive on the fourteenth was followed by a beauty for the pin, but his putt was from a difficult position and he played safe for the par 4, get-; filfi down . 18 inches. 3 agen’s ‘— 0 poe up to the fifteenth by a 6 NATIONAL 44 CLUB CAMP IS OPENED Jardine Addresses Boy and Girl Delegates From 38 Farm States.
