Establishment of the long-desired National Aboretum in Washington has been brought a step nearer by the action of Secretary of Agriculture Jardine in appointing an advisory council to co-operate in planning and developing this great outdoor labora- tory for the scientific study of tree and plant life, The members of the council are Frederic A. Delano, Washington, member of the board of regents of the Smithsonian Institution, chairman; L. H. Mailey, Ithaca, president of the Botanical Society of America; Henry S. Graves, New Haven, dean of the School of Forestry, Yale University; Harlan P. Kelsey, Salem, Mass., for- mer president of the American Asso- ciation of Nurserymen; John C. Mer- riam, president of the Carnegie Insti- tution of Washington; Mrs. Frank B. Noyes, Washington, chairman of the District of Columbia committee of the Garden Club of America; Frederick Law Olmsted, Brookline, Mass., for. mer president of the American Society of Landscape Architects; Mrs. Harold 1. Pratt, Glen Cove, Long Island, sec- retary of the Garden Club of America; Robert Pyle, West Grove, Pa., director of the Society of American Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists and a former president of the American Rose Society. The setting up of such a council was provided for in the act approved by the last Congress just before ad- journment, authorizing establishment of the arboretum. The enabling act carried authorization for $300,000 toward the purchase of a site, but there was not time before adjourn- ment to have the funds actually made available in an appropriation bill, Early Appropriation Expected. It is confidently expected, however, that the funds will be appropriated early in the coming session, after which the department will be able to proceed with the purchase of neces- sary land. Mr. Delano, who for nearly 30 years was a railway executive in Chicago, took a prominent part in city planning work in both Chicago and New York. Dr. Bailey is a past president of the American Promo- logical Society and American Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Science. He spent the first 30 years of his life in Michigan and there began his career as horticulturist, later becoming dean of the College of Agriculture of Cornell University. EVENING - STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, MRS. COOLIDGE GETS FISHHOOK IN FINGER, ENTAILING OPERATION Painful Experience Fails to Affect Hostess’ . Graciousness—First Lady Calls X : Presideht by “Pet Names.” BY OWEN L. SCOTT. Special Dispatch to The Star. STATE GAME LODGE, Near Rapid City, S. Dak., June 23.—It's a real homey sort of existence the Coolidges are leading in their White House out here in the West. The intimate picture of life at the State Game Lodge, given today by guests who have been honored by the President and Mrs. Coolidge, appears much like that of a great many other well managed American homes. A slight accident—the first on the whole trip—happened to the First Lady of the Land on the evening that former Gov. and Mrs. Samuel E. Mc- Kelvie of Nebraska were guests. That evening, while fishing with the Presi- dent, Mrs. Coolidge had snagged her finger with a fishhook in casting. It was necessary to cut the hook out, Mrs. McKelvie said, but this painful experience didn't in the least affect the President’s wife as a gracious hostess. Trout Regular Dish. Trout is becoming a regular dish at the presidential ‘table—mostly trout that Mr. Coolidge catches by his own angling efforts. But it is served in a way new to this region. For dinner on the evening the McKelvies were guests the fish was baked and served with a cream sauce. For breakfast it was baked and served with butter and lemon juice. Out here trout gen- erally Is fried in corn meal and break- fast bacon, but as yet the Coolidges have not had it that way. People have been particularly con- cerned about entertaining Mrs. Coolidge. They have thought she might become bored out in the hills. It is learned, though, that she is fond of needlework and is devoting much time to crocheting a beautiful lace bedspread, which will be left in the White House when she leaves as a spread for the Lincoln bed. Each First Ladr of the Land leaves some plece for the martyred Presi- dent's room, and Mrs. Coolidge has been working on the spread for many months. She Enjoys Reading. Besides this she enjoys reading. Then there is a big correspondence to keep up, and in addition Mrs. Cool- idge is said to be a very thorough housekeeper. The servants are said to think very highly of her because of the helpful attention she pays to their work. The meals at the Sum- mer White House are reported to be guite plain, but most appetizing. Dinner has consisted of fish, chicken, mashed potatoes, a simple tomato salad, asparagus and gelatin and cream for dessert. The President often takes tea at night as his bever- age. For breakfast they have had frult, breakfast food, Which Mr. Coolidge likes; trout and coffee. Western clothes have captured the President’s imagination. nners at the White House are now often in- formal, permitting Mr. Coolidge to wear his riding outfit and mountain shoes—big boots that lace up high. The beaver hat given him by Belle Fourche people also is a regular part of his attire when free to dress as he likes. In Best of Health. “Mrs, Coolidge says that Mr. Cool- idge is mow 10 pounds heavier than when he became President,” Mrs. Mc- Kelvie said. “Both he and Mrs. Cool- idge seem to be in the best of health and they are thoroughly enjoying themselves.” “When the President wears his high boots and his 10-gallon hat, he looks for all the world like a New England Puritan as pictured in early history,” Mr. McKelvie interjected. “His new outfit is real becoming to him.” Mrs. McKelvie says that Mrs. Cool- idge refers familiarly to the President as “Dearfe” and *Papa,” though she calls him Calvin when she wishes to be severe. He refers to her as “Moth- er” and “Grace.” There was said to have been a friendly argument in the presidential household over the naps Mr. Coolidge has come to take after lunch, now that he feels the effect of this mountain atmosphere. He doesn't like to admit that these snoozes are daily affairs, but the report is that Mrs. Coolidge maintains that they are to all practical purposes. Regular Fishing Fan. “Breakfast: regularly is served at 7 and dinner at 6,” sald Mrs. McKelvie. “But the first morning Mr. Coolidge was up at 5 and just like a _boy anx- ious to get out after fish. He asked if breakfast couldn’t be advanced to 6:30, and then took hardly a bite be- fore sallying out. The President has become a regular fishing fan. “The evening we were there a mov- ing picture was shown. Then we sat around the log fire and talked. The Coolidges are all alone in the house, and even the secret service men are not to be seen.” This visit of the McKelvies was typical of others, and as the list of Summer visitors at the White House increases, the experiences that come when being entertained by the Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge will be re- peated often. Both Mr. and Mrs. Cool- idge say that they like company, and they have much of it. Dr. Graves, a fellow of the Society of American Foresters, was formerly president of the American Forestry Association and for 10 years was head of the forest service of the United States Department of Agri- culture. Develops Nursery Business. Mr. Kelsey lived for many years in North Carlina, where he developed & nursery business, which was later moved to Massachusetts. Dr. Mer- riam -is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Na- tional Research Council. He spent Lieut. Fisher said they left Cres- cent City, Calif., early Tuesday for San Diego, and that when they en- countered fog he dropped to a low altitude, hoping to fly under it. Be- fore_he knew how near he was to the water’s surface.the ‘plane struck the surf. " ST The three men scrambled for life belts in the wreckage of the plane and then struck out for shore by themselves. For several hours they kept together, but finally became separated in the darkness. After a nine-hour battle, Fisher reached the beach and fell, exhausted, He re- vived and finally made his way here. — BERLIN TO CONTINUE POLICIES ON SOVIET Stresemann, in Report, Says Any Attempt to Involve Germany Must Fail. By the Associated Press, BERLIN, June 23.—Any attempt to draw Germany into an anti-Soviet front would be destined to founder, Foreign Minister Stresemann told the Reichstag today in the course of his report on the recent meeting of the League of Nations Council. “We naturally talked about the Anglo-Soviet break, which is anevent of prime importance,” he said, “but no matter how the situation may de- velop, we shall not change our policies which were laid down in the pact of Locarno and the. treaty of Berlin (with Russia).” An unmistakable warning was given to Moscow by Dr. Stresemann that it must discontinue its foreign propaganda when he said: “The other powers have a full under- standing of our position and I also have the feeling that all the eountries maintaining diplomatic relatfons with Russia desire a free hand to the ex- tent of being permitted to conduct such relations without being influgnc- ed by others, They, however, also are emphatic in their demands that Russia abandon its propaganda abroad.” HIGH SCHOOL DESTROYED. | Euilding Burns' as Pupils Prepare to Enter for Last Day. GARFIELD, N. J., June 23 (®.— The Garfield High School was destroy- ed by fire today, the last day of the school term, with a loss of $200,000. The fire was discovered 20 minutes before the pupils were due to enter the building. It was believed that the chemicals in the school laboratory were ignited by rays of the sun focus- sing on them through a window pane. Forest Fire i)‘ncheeked. BAKERSFIELD, Calif., June 23 (#).—Raging unchecked over a five: mile front, one of the fiercest fires of the season today resisted all efforts of 26 years in scientific and educational work in California. Mrs. Noyes, as. Washington representative of ' the Garden Club of America, wis an effective leader in the movement for the establi: ent of the National Arboretum. . Pyle is chairman of the arboretum committee of the American Association of Nurserymen. It is clearly the intent of this law, Secretary Jardine said, that the arboretum be devoted primarily to forestry and horticulture. The arbore- tum also will provide for certain kinds of education not afforded by parks and playgrounds. Mr. Jardine has expressed the desire that the arboretum be developed with all the beauty that the situation permits, ‘When the legislation was being con- sidered by Congress the location recommended for the arboretum was along the upper end of the Anacostia River, including what are known as the Mount Hamilton and Hickey Hill tracts. Adjoin Government Land. These tracts cover 408 acres and adjoin a large area already owned by the Government and about to be drained by Army engineers in con- nection with the reclamation of the Anacostia flats, which also could be includled in the arboretum. The committees of Congress were advised that this area constitutes an admirable site for an arboretum, be- cause of the wide variety of solls found to exist there. It also has been regarded as con- venient in location for the experts of the department, who would use it in their researches to improve the tree and plant life of the Nation. BURNING CHURCHES CHARGED IN ARREST Roy Gordon Held for Arson After Three Fires in Indian- apolis. By the Aesociated Press, INDIANAPOLIS, June 23.— Roy Gordon, 50, of New York was held on arson and vagrancy charges to- day under $25,000 bond while police investigated three fires in Roman Catholic churches here during the last three days.

Gordon was arrested * yesterday shortly after a fire was discovered in the St. Joan of Arc Church. Two women identified him as the man they had seen leave the church shortly be- fore the fire was discovered.

The resolution, ia- troduced by Senator S. E. Ainslee of Custer and Fall River Counties, resolved that the mountain be des- ignated as “Mount Coolidge,” in honor of the Executive, “who has conferred a high distinction upon South Dakota in coming to us for his Summer vacation.” N BROWN HITS LAW ON CONDEMNATION Urges Commissioners to Have Hearing and Assess- ment Notices Mailed. Herbert D. Brown, chief of the Fed- eral Bureau of Efficiency, urged the District Commissioners today to take steps to correct certain “unfair fea- tures” of the present law governing the condemnation of land for streets and the assessment of benefits which are expected to be conferred upon other property when the proposed im- provements have been made. The newspaper notice now required, describing in general terms each project involved in condemnation, Mr, Brown contended, 1s inadequate as a notice to property owners interested, and the Commissioners should issue an administrative order requiring the corporation counsel to mail a notice to property owners immediately after each jury verdict is filed i order to afford them as much time as possible before any final ratification to present to the court reasons, if they have any, why the verdict or any part thereof should not be ratified. Mr. Brown also recommended that a section of the District Code which prescribes the procedure to be fol- lowed in the condemnation of land for streets be amended to require the court upon receipt of a jury verdict to fix a time for hearing and deter- mining any objections or exceptions that may be filed, and to cause notice of the hearing and of the amount as- sessed by the jury as benefits against each plece of property to be served. Recovers Violin After 41 Years— Swears Off Lending Correspondence of the Associated Press. LAWRENCE, Kas, — Separated for 41 years from a violin, H. T. Martin, curator of the Dyche Mu: seum of the University of Kan: has recovered the long lost trea: ure and vowed that never again will he lend it, even to his best friend. In 1870 the Instrument was pur- chased by his father, William Mar- tin of Nottingham, England, from a miller who had owned it for 40 years previous to that time. ‘When H. T. Martin came to the United States in 1886, he lent the instrument to an old friend of his father, Harry Flinder of Illinois.

THO PLGENEN AND THEF SLAN Only One of Seven Shots Fired in Chicago Battle Misses Mark. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June 23.—Darkness man- tled a triple slaying early today in a North Side alley, with no witnesses left to tell what happened, except a mystery girl who fled in horror before the roar of the last revolver shot had died away. Two policemen shot it out with an automobile thief, and the three were killed. The deadly accuracy of their aim was shown by the fact that all but one of the seven shots fired found its mark. The single wild shot was fired by the robber. The policemen dead are Sergt. Thomas Kehoe, 52 years old, and Officer James Farley, 32. The man they killed was jdentified as Dan Leathers, who, in 1922, was sent to the Pontiac Reformatory on a robbery charge. Bodies Found on Lawn. Bodies of the policemen were found on the lawn. Kehoe was dead with a bullet over the temple and another in his back. Farley had been shot in the stomach and chest, but was living and conscious when police reserves arrived. “There was—a woman—in the—car —with him,” Farley gasped. ‘‘She— ran.” It was first believed that the slayer of Kehoe and Farley had escaped. At the hospital, however, before he died, Farley said he was sure he had wounded the man. “I had to shoot and I'm sure I got him,” he said. Was Shot in Heart. Police returned to the place and found the robber’s body. He had been shot in the heart and the abdomen. The end of his trigger finger had been shot away, protably by the bullet that entered his abdomen. The police officers started their last quest of a criminal shortly after mid- night when a report was made that a masked man had held up Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Cooper and taken their automobile and $5 which Cooper had. They came upon the stolen car and the robber near the place where their bodies were found. What happened thereafter is known only to the girl who, Farley sald, was in the automo- bile with the man. Police believe that the robber immediately epened fire, shooting five times before his pistol jammed. Farley then dropped him with two shots, after Kehoe had fallen mortally wounded. o NEW INVESTIGATOR ISNAMED BY DORAN W. B. Robinson, Internal Rev- enue Bureau Agent Former- ly, to Relieve Hamlin.

BLOODHOUNDS SEEK ESCAPED CONVICTS 11 of 35 Who Sawed Way Out of Texas Prison Farm Are Captured. By the Associated Press. HUNTSVILLE, Tex., June 23.— With 11 of the 35 convicts who es- caped from the Ferguson prison farm near here Tuesday night captured, guards and volunteers today continued to follow bloodhounds through the muddy Trinity River bottoms in an effort to round up the others. Evidence of the difficulties encoun- tered by the posses was shown by the | Doq, mud-spattered group returning here with the 11 convicts. They told of hours spent in the soggy ‘‘gumbo’ soil which taxed the strength of dogs as well as men. The 11 men were re- captured within a radius of 5 miles from the farm. They were found in thickets and were unarmed. They refused to name the leaders of the break, but they said they sawed out of their bunkhouse while a musi- cal program was at its height. Most of the 1583 men in the bunkhouse joined in the singing to drown the noise of the saws. Edwin Crowder and Alvin Ireland, serving long terms, were credited with engineering the delivery. None of the fugitives were thought to be armed. It was the second prison farm break in ten days. More than a score of Mexicans escaped from another farm June 13 and most of them are still at large. .

Pringle, assistant super- intendent and law enforcement direc- tor of the federation, which has its headquarters at 206 Pennsylvania avenue southeast, is investigating “‘obscenity conditions” in several small cities in Pennsylvania and will return here probably Saturday with more ‘“‘evidence.” Declares Big Campaign. The federation, founded in 1895 for the abolishment of the liquor traffic, gambling, drug addiction, brutal sports, Sunday traffic, obscene prints, indécent shows and “all promoted vices,” has declared nation-wide war on obscene magazines and other pub- lications. Congress will be asked to appro- priate funds with which the Depart- ment of Justice may investigate maga- zines and to enact legislation to pro- hibit transportation of banned publi- cations in interstate commerce. “Bootlegging in liquor is one evil. Bootlegging in sex is another,” Mr. Schmidt declared today. “These maga- zines are capitalizing obscenity. They have no- constructive mission in life, but tend to tear down the moral struc- ture of our Nation.” . Bulletin Tssued, The federation has issued a bulletin calling’ attention to the crusade against “criminal obscenity,” launched by Justice John Ford of the New York Supreme Court. It will make use of a book just pub- lished on the subjéct by Justice Ford, in ]conmcuon ‘with its national cam- paign. — TILDEN NOT TO TURN PROFESSIONAL SOON Has Not Accepted $20,000 a Year Tennis Job, or Any Other, He Says, at Wimbledon.

Discussing reports published in the European press that he was thinking of turning professional, Tilden sald: “Will you pleasé deny for me re- ports emanating from America and reproduced here that I have in the in- tention of turning professional.

What they will be a year from now I am unable to say.” - Referrlng to yesterday’s incident with the foot fault judge, which is commented on at length in the morn- ing press, all of which justify Tilden's action, the American player said rather jokingly: “If this game has reached such a pass that a player cannot talk to an official and ask- him ‘wherein he is committing a fault, so as to avoid a recurrence in the future, then I am going to quit it.” o TRUSTEE GETS $579,969 IN DODGE WILL CASE John Ballantyne Awarded Sum by Detroit Court for “Extraordi- nary Services.” By the Associated Press.

LACKS PASSPORT. |schroth at 7—5, SCHOOLGIRL BEATS MOLLA MALLORY English Junior Champion, 16, Eliminates U. S. Titleholder at Wimbledon. By the Associated Press. WIMBLEDON, England, June 23, Mrs. Molla Mallory, seven times American national women's tennis champlion and present holder of the title, was defeated today in the Wim. bledon singles by Miss Betty Nuthall, English schoolgirl player and junior champion. The scors was 2—6, 88, 6—0. Betty Nuthall won the British ju. nior singles championship in 1924, 1925 and again last year. Last year also, paired with Gwendolin Sterry, she won the British women's hard court doubles champlonship. She is 16 years old. The first set provided some of the best women's tennis seen at Wiiuble- don this year. Both Mrs. Mallory and her youthful opponent played force- fully from the baseline without any slackening in pace or attempting to g0 to the net. English Girl Takes Lead. Betty took an early lead of 4—1 In the second set, when the American champion began showing the strain of the swift pace. Mrs. Mallory dou- ble faulted twice. The English girl took the first four games of tho last set by continuing hér campaign from the baseline, Then she went to the net and volleyed and «mashed for the winning points. While her youthful opponent was adopting this offensive, Mrs. Mallory appeared to be tiring, and her drives lost much of their sting. By going to the net in the final two games, Betty repeated the tactics which gave her the second set and paved the way for her victory. The start of the match saw some of the severest stroking by woman players within the memory of veteran ‘Wimbledon fans, the players standing at the base lines and exchanging scorching drives. Mrs. Mallory was imbued with re. lentless energy and stroked magnifi- cently, both on the forehand and backhand. Her drives proved too much for her opponent, and she took the set at 6—2. Then Betty, showing great tennis strategy, modified her game, slowing in pace and going.to the net. Her tactics completely baffled Mrs. Mal- lory from the beginning of the second set, which the English girl took at 6—2, leaving the match square at the rest period. Tactics Baffle Mrs. Mallory. Mrs. Mallory began the last set in determined fashion and dropped the first two games, only after taking them several times to deuce. This effort seemed to have taken the last of her resources, and the English girl, con- tinuing to show rare court general- ship, ran out the next four to win the deciding set at love. Betty's victory was a most popular one with the gallery, but expressions of sympathy for the veteran American star were also heard. Mrs. Mallory smiled gamely in defeat, and tapped her young conqueror on the shoulder ?Is she shook hands and congratulated er.
