Smith, in Criminal Court No. 2, today told Austin 1. Jarboe, when he sen- tenced him to one year in jail for hav- ing a smoke screen device on a car he was in. Jarboe jumped from a liquor- Jaden car which police were chasing on Pennsylvania avenue southeast April 13, when William F. Dement was shot in the head by one of the pursu- Ing policemen. Dement died later. Attorney Joseph D. Kelly, making a plea for mercy, told the court that a man at the market had said that he would give Jarboe steady employment, and pay him sufficient to take care of his wife and himself, and not make it necesasry for him to engage in a life very gratifying,” said Jus tice Smith. *You are a bright young man, You are the type, though, that takes a short cut. 1 will give you one vear in jail—and, Jarboe, cut it out. There isn't anything in it. You get a lot of money, but you also get in the penitentiary. 1 hope when you get out wvou will go to honest work. It isn't worth while engaging in crime. Life isn't worth living if vou do this. Hon- est labor doesn't bring much, but you live happier. Placed on Probation. Frederick Sampson today w two in the penitentiary by Justice Hoehling in Criminal Court No. 1, on a charge of forgery and ut- tering. He was placed on probation. Sampson forged the name of a_ guest at the Mayflower Hotel to an order for a hired car, and then wrecked the ma- chine. He was directed to pay for the machine at $35 per month until the company was reimbursed.

After Crash. The inquest umed importance today when it was learned that M Lennan_had first been examined by Dr. A. M. Preece at Emergency Hos- pital immediately after the accident. Following the examination McLennan had been transferred to the first precinet, where he lay in a_cell for four hours under a charge of driving an automobile while intoxicated. At the end of that time, police reported, the BEmergency Hospital was sum- | moned again and after a second ex- amination by Dr. Preece, who de- clared that nothing wrong could he found other than apparent effects of aleoholic indulgence the patjent, MeLennan was removed to Gallinger Hospital Jate Monday. ‘When McLennan died at Gallinger Hospital yesterday morning it was be- lieved that a broken spine was the use of his death and a report on the was immediately ordered by Maj. win B. Hesse, chiet of police. The first witness to take the stand at the inquest today Dr. H. M. Glaubman of Gallinger Hospital. e | aid that upon admission to Gallinge Hospital on the afternoon of July 4 McLennan complained of severe pains in the back of his neck. He showed no reflex action and was incapable of feeling heat, cold or pains. His sense of feeling was gone. Dr. Glaubman said, Two sets of X-ray plates had been taken at the hospital, which fail- ed to show the cause of the trouble, although indications of injuries about the neck were vaguely present. There was no evidence of alcoholism, Dr. Glaubman said. + The patient, he added. could not walk or stand up. Dr. Preece nex took the stand. He detailed his exami- nation of MeGlennan at the scene of the accident, as well as his examina- tion at the hospital and in the first precinct station house, He looked for an injury to the spine and failed to find it, Dr. Preece said. McLennan had the use of his arms and legs at all times, when Dr. Preece examined him, according to the witness, and the odor of alcohol was present on his breath. “There were no signs of paralysis Dr. Preece said. “I told the wfficers T thought the stuft he had had knocked him out. To me it appeared he was intoxicated, although it is hard to say exactly when a person fs intoxicated. I gave permission for his transfer to the first precinct.” Four hours after the transfer to the precinct, upon being summoned azain. Dr. Preece testified he still thought the condition of McLennan was due to something he drank, but he stated that he told the police it would be “better to play safe and take him {o Gallinger.” That ended his connection with the case. Passenger in Car Testifies. Arthur Padgett, 710 Thirty-first street southeast, who was riding in McLennan’s car July 4, when the ac- cident occurred, testified that he had met July 3 McLennan in a place near Seventh and O streets, where cider was sold. He was not a close friend, Padgett said, and although he scarce- ly knew the man, McLennan neverthe- less had stayed with Pacdget at hi home over might. On the following morning, July 4, Padgett said, he, his 12-year-old son, and McLennan went out for a ride in the latter’s automo- bile, and McLennan had obtained some more cider. He said they both had been drinking before the accident. fie added that McLennan was going south on Seventh street at about 30 miles an hour in his automobile just before the crash with Fihelly's car at D street. Mclennan was indicted and subse- quently acquitted in connection with the deaths of John Craven, 55-year-old huckster, and Hammen Iskridge, a Virginia truck farmer, who were drowned December 26, 1923, when the automobile in which they were riding with McLennan dove off the speed- way at the entrance to the narrow bridge over the inlet from the Potomac River to the Tidal Basin, Policemen who dragged McLennan from the icy water of the Potomac testified at that time that they smelled lcohol on his breath but C. W. allard of the Bmergency Hospital staff, who treated him, declared that he had not detected any evidence of liquor. McLennan declared the steer- ing wheel of his machine must have locked as he tried to steer out of the path of an approaching automobile that was crossing the one-way hridge at the time he neared the entrance. He denied also that he was speeding. The bodies of Craven and KEskridge later were recovered from the auto- mobile submerged in 25 feet of water.

The Mexican oil and lind laws were the underlying causes of the differ- ences between the two governments, differences which gave rise to the ex: change of several harp notes and pub- lic_statemen From time to time there were per- tent rumors that Ambassador Shef- field and Secretary Kellogz were not entirely in accord, but this was of- ficially denied by the State Depart- ment. Subsequently President Cool- idge made it known that Mr. Sheflield had his full support in carrving on negotiations with the Mexican govern- ment. Incarcerated Picked by Hughes.

After the negotiations had pre ceeded for months. Ambassador Shef- field returned to Washington to con- fer with President ‘Coolidge and Sec- retary Kellogs. As a result, Secre tary Kellogg issued his now cele- brated statement that the Mexican government was on “trial” before the world and would receive the support of the American Government “only o long as it protects American lives nd American property.” Calles’ Reply Sharp. This drew a sharp reply from President Calles, who declared he re- garded as an “insult” the implication that Mexico was on trial before the world “in the guise of a defendant.” Ambassador Sheflield made several trips to Washington to confer with officials on the land laws and Mr. Warren was called in on several occasions because he and John Bar- ton Payne had negotiated an under- standing with the Obregon govern ment on this question. Reports at the time were that Am- bassador Sheffield was not wholly pleased with the action of Secretary Kellogg in copsulting Mr. Warren, but if there was any rift on that score the fact was closely guarded. During a visit of Ambassador Shef- field to Washington in Midsummer, 1926, State Department officials i sisted that despite surface indications of a disagreement between the An bassador and the Secretary, they wel working in perfect harmony. At the same time Secr v Kellogg took o casion to deny a published report tha the Ambassador had resigned. Before returning to. Mexico City late in the year, the Ambassador was a guest at the White House. Hi: sit there was shrouded in secrec: subsequently it was authorita stated that Mr. Sheffield had the full support of President Coolidge. Going back to the Mexican eapital before the end of the vear, Mr. Shef- field made an address before ths American Chamber of Commerce, in which he declared for “concrete in spinal columns.” CRISIS MORE ACUTE AS BRITON HINTS AT AGGRESSION BY U.

The figuré is 34, 000 tons higher than the minimum proposed by the American delegation, which suggested a submarine tonnage of £0,000 to 90,000 for the United States and Great Britain and 36,000 to 54,000 for Japan. There are indications that the Jap- anese delegation will not give up its submarine claims, if they are relin- quished at all, without an intensive struggle. Japan's proposal for fixing the total tonnage of cruisers and destroy- ers suggested 450,000 tons as a limit for the United States and Great Brit- ain and 300,000 for Japan. The orig- inal American recommendation placed the cruiser tonnage for Japan at 150,- 000 tons and the destroyer tonnage at 120,000 “EXPANSIO) CRITICIZED.

TFTRIDAY, ¥ ENGINEERS SURVEY FORMALL GARDEN Research Started to Test Feasibility of Monument Expansion Plan. Moving toward completion of the approaches and surroundings of the Washington Monument in carrying out the plan of 1901 for treatment of the entire Mall area, engineers of the Arlington Memorial Bridge Commis- sion have begun research and survey work into the foundations of the Monument with a view to recommend- ing whether or not the sunken garden and massive stone steps contemplated on the North and West sides of the Monument may be constructed TE zel, one of the engineers of the bridge commission has laid be- fore Lieut. Col. $. Grant, 3d. exceutive officer of the bridge commi <ion and the National Capital Park and Plannin; n, a report on the findings of the engineers who put up the massive shaft more than a half century ago, accompanying the report with observations mendations of his own that a stood to declare there is no reas why the 1901 plan should not be ¢ vied out in its entirety in so far as it affects the Monument, unless the con- struction planned approache: too close to the base of the shaft. Col. Grant has not yet seen the Nagel report, as he has been out of the city since last week. At the same time support from an organization outside the Government in the work of completing the 1901 plan for the Monument grounds has been asked by Col. Grant, who recently wrote the American Soclety of Civil Engineers asking their co-operation in the pre- liminary studies that must be made. Money Is Lacking. Tt is the hope of the Park and Planning Commission officials that the sunken gardens on the north and stone steps on the west side of the Monument, along with the circular re- flecting pool between the shaft and enteenth street, may be completed in time for the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington in 1932, A specific appropriation for a survey has not been made, nor has money been appropriated for beginning the work, the studies that have already been made having been paid for out of current funds not otherwise speci- fically provided for. have ground borings been made, Mr. Nagel having satisfied himself in the work under- taken so far with studies of the work of the engineers who set up the huge shaft and strengthened its foundations in the decade betwen 1870 and 1880. In place of the grassy slopes mow surrounding the Washington Monu- ment, the 1901 plan provides for plaza treatment of the immediate area, with sunken gardens running north to B street, northwest and southwest and onstruction of two reflecting pools, one of circular shape and the other yectangular, between the steps and Seventeenth street, the whole concep- tion to tie in with the broad sweep of the Mall eastward from the Llr!cnln Memorial and its reflecting pool. North and south from the monument axis a broad concourse is planned where now grassy hillsides slope away from the base of the shaft. On the east the concourse will slope off gradually toward Fourtenth street, balanced on the west by massive steps, 300 feet in length and 40 feet high. Arts Body Support. The entire concept has the whole hearted approval of the National Com- mission of Fine Arts, whose members belleve it should be rushed to comple- tion in time for the celebration of ths Washington bi-centennial. Under the 1901 plan, the Fine Arts Commission says, the rows of elms now hordering the Mall on either side “climb the slope up to the Monument and, spreading to right and left on ex- tended terraces, form a great body of green, strengthening the broad plat- form from which the obelisk rises in maljestic serenity. The groves on the terraces become places of rest from vhich one gets wide views of the busy : of the White House, surrounded by its ample grounds; of the Capitol, crowning the heights at the end of the broad vista; of sunny stretches of river & at the foot of the Virginia relation,” the commission adds, “between the White House and the Monument are created by the con- struction of a sunien garden on the western side of the great shaft, the true line passing through the center of a great round pool. to which marble steps 300 feet in_width lead down 40 feet from the Monument platform. Surrounded by terraces bearing elms, Jaid out with formal paths lined by hedges and adorned with small trees, enriched by fountains and templelike structures, this garden becomes the gem of the Mall sy.tem. ieen from the lower level, the Monument gains an additional height of nearly 45 feet, while, at the same time, nothing is suffered to come so near as to disturb BEAUTIFICATION SCHEME CONCEIVED C. effective, wol diversified and changing problems in our diversified and changing land can ever be practically settled.” oration by high ducted by the bar association on “The Constitution.” come cla JAPANESE TROOPS recommendi with pian avanced in 1901 ULY 8, 1927.

Governor Addresses Meeting of Indiana Bar As- sociation. | f | i By the Associated Pre FRENCH LICK, Ind., July 8.—The| Inited States is passing from a gov-| ernment of law to a government of | men. and a power that often ap-| proaches tyrrany has been vested in | the Federal Government, Gov. Albert | Ritchie of Maryland declared in an \ddress here today before the annual | meeting of the Indiana State Bar As-| on. The Government 1s no longer the ure and protector of our indi- vidual rights, but is rapidly becoming the dictator of them,” the speaker asserted. “Today local self-govi ment. furnishes the only efficient, cable basis on which the itchie's address followed an Nathan Levey of South Bend, Ind., winner of the 1927 annual school . oratorical contest con- Gov.

Ritchle asserted that the “growing contempt for law” is at- tributable in a large measure to “this unholy zeal for more law.” “Those at least who knew what their rights were under a government of law often do not know under this Government of men whether they have any rights at all.” he said. ARRIVEAT TSINAN First Trainload Reaches In- land Point in Shantung, Others 1o Follow. By the Associateg Press. PEKING, July 8.—Tt was learned officially today that the first trainload of Japanese troops from Tsingtao ha arrived without incident at Tsinan, 150 miles inland in Shantung. from Tsingtao, and that four more train- loads are journeying to Tsinan. Small contingents are being dropped off at various railway points ¥ive hundred marines have been landed from Japanese warships at Tsingtao to protect the residents of the port, this probably giving rise to the reports that United States Marines had landed or were landing. Tsingtao and Tsinan are reported to be quiet, the revolt movement there apparently having broken down. The Southerners (Nationalists) are said to be not close enough to immediately menace Tsingtao. Shantungese headquarters clalms that the Northerners have recaptured Lincheng and are advancing_toward Hanchwang, on the Tsinpu Railway near the southern border of Shantung. ————————ee the isolation which the Monument de- mands. t present the immediate surround- ings of the Monument are so inade- quate as to cause the beholder near at hand to lose that very sense of grandeur which it inspires when seen from a distance, and the lack of har- monious relationship between it and the great structures with which it comes into juxtaposition disturbs one’s ense of fitness. Taken by itself the Washington Monument stands not only as one of the most stupendous works of man, but also as one of the most beautiful of human ecreations. Indecd, it is at once so great and so simple that it seems to be almost a work of nature.” The Monument now rests on a tremendous mass of concrete 126 feet square, 13 feet 6 inches in depth, ex- tending well out under the hill from the base of the shaft. It surrounds and covers the older foundation, which was 80 feet square at the base and 23 feet deep, built in pyram shape of Potomac blue gneiss stone, set in a mortar of cement, stone, lime and sand. The newer concrete base rests on a bed of fine sand 2 feet in thickness. helow which is a bed of boulders and gravel. It was bezun in 1876, four years hefore work was resumed on’ the shaft after it had been stopped. During th session of Congress the National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission recommended that an appropriation for study and prep- aration of detailed plens for the Monument gardens in accordance with the plan of 1901 be made. Con- gress did not appropriate the com- paratively small amount of money needed for the survey. AT MONUMENT iultmhn NATS TAKE OPENER OF DOUBLE-HEADER FROM TRIBE, 7 TO 4 (Continued from First Page.)

Work and golf in the morning, a drive in his automebile through the Westchester hills in the afternoon, followed by an early dinner with his family and a few friends, was the an- nounced course for the day. Omission of a brass band and other features that once formed part of the tion was explained as merely due to desire to spare the magnate unneces- sary fatigue. “Retired” Years.

Excepting Sundays, he plays golf each day in the year, in the Winter at Ormond Beach, Fla.. and in mer at his_estates at Lakewood Pocantico Hills.

If I had done so 1 would have had a clear view of my hus- band’s murderer. “I was sitting on the bed putting on my stockings when I heard the firing. My husband had promised to bring some firecrackers to our youngest hoy and for the moment I thought that was the cause of the noise.
