New Rules Planned. The principal districts affected by the process will be New York and Buffalo, although administrators at other centers have indicated that they will reduce their forces. The ideal force of the future is expected to be composed largely of investigators, with a minimum of agents. Assistant Secretary Lowman, who will be sworn-in Monday as successor to Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews, who has controlled the dry forces for the past two and one-half years, has declared against use of third-degree methods, entrapment of violators, and unneces- sary destruction of property or use of firearms. Regulations governing the conduct of the agents will be com- pleted soon and sent to the field forces, he said. Higher Salaries Hit. @. C. Hinckley, national secretary of the Association Against the Pr aibition Amendment, announced yeste: day he would oppose any raise in salary that might be given prohibition administrators, declaring his state- ment was prompted by published re- ports of a suggestion that this should be_done. Hoiding that there were numerous applicants for all vacancies in the prohibition forces, Hinckley suggest- ed that the “chief prohibition admin- istrator explain, if he can, why it is that low-salaried enforcement jobs ara so evidently attractive to so many people.” He said in view of the salaries paid. and the work, which is “supposed to be hard and unpleasant,” it seems certain that the present salaries are eithar quite high enough or those ap- plying hope to augment “their small salary from unrecognized sources.” POLICEMAN TO GET SPECIAL HEARING Campbell, Accused of Shooting Man in Chase, to Appear ‘Wednesday. an The case of Policeman Benjamin R.

DEAL FOR PATTERSON PARK FAILS AGAIN Becond Offer of Commission for Purchase of Tract Site Not Accepted. The second offer of the National | Capital Park and Planning Commis- | sion for purchase of a park and play- ground site on the Patterson tract has failed to bring about an agree- ment between the commission and the trustees of the property known today. Officlals of the commission did not reveal the nature of this last proposal at the time it was made, further than to describe it as a modified proposi- tion. The commission is still study problem, but has not decided wk next step will be in the negot There are two courses open commission, either to make a_further offer to the owners or consider con demnation proceedings. The Patter son tract covers a large area lying north of Florida avenue and east of the railroad viaduct northeast, and the question of adding it to the park and playground system has been un- der discussion for a number of years. Congress did not specifically direct the commission to acquire it year, but in granting the park and planning body $300,000 more than the usual ap- propriation of $600,000 for acquisition of land it was the understanding of members of the appropriations com- imittees that the commission would endeavor to buy all or a part of the tract.

Clay- ton, chairman of the public utilities committee of the Federation of Citi- reiations. or to the semi-weekly execu- tive meeting of the commission, Mr. Clayton conferred with John W, Childress, chairman, and urged that any proposed change in policy with respect to one-man car operations in the District be postponed until he could file a brief outlining the rea- sons for the federation’s opposition to the conductorless cars. Mr. Child- res§ promised to withhold action until the return of Col. Harrison Brand, jr., vice chairman of the commission, who is now on vacation. Previous to the announcement of the commission's plan to reverse the policy of the forrier commission and authorize the street car companies to purchase the one-man typa cars, Mr. Clayton had been in retirement as chairman of the federation’s utility committee and Clayton E. Emig has been acting -head of the committee. The contemplated action of the commission to lift the restrictions on the one-man cars, however, aroused him to renewed activity in public utility affairs, and he promises to make a determined fight to forestall any attempt to make Washington re- semble a “backwoods town" through the operation of conductorless cars. Mr. Clayton interposed his objec- tion to the one-man cars at the eleventh hour. An order authorizing the Washington Railway & Electric Co. to purchase additional cars of this type to replace cars condemned to the scrap pile had been drawn up and its approval by the commission virtually assuréd as' two of its mem- bers who constitute a majority be- lieve that a more extensive use of the one-man cars will avert a de- mand by the traction companies for a higher fare. The companies made a threat to ask for an increased rate of fare unless authorized to operate one-man cars, at a recéent public hearing before the commission on request of the Anacostia Citizens’ Association for.the replacement of the old-type conductorless cars on the Anacostia line with the latest models like those olpera!ed on the Wisconsin avenue ne. — MISS JACOBS TO PLAY Young California Tennis Stars to Compete for Essex Honors Tomorrow.

Renewed vigilance in the enforce- ment of the eight-hour female worl ing law by the corporation counsel office resulted in the conviction at the Police Court today of a laundry owner and a store manager, both of whom, according to the court records, had been convicted on previous oc- caslons, Judge George H. Macdonald, who | heard the eases, gave ‘ning that the future. The defy the law in ] convicted on a laundry owner was third offense and fined $250, while the store manager was convicted for a second offense and fined $50. Law Limits Employment. The law concerning female employ- ment in the District, in part, follows: “That no female under 18 years of age shall be employed or permitted to \grx in or in connection with an of the tollowing establishments or occ pations before the hour of seven o'clock in the morning or after the hour of 6 o'clock in the evening of any one d: manufacturing, mech: cal or mercantile. establishment; dry, hotel or restaurant or telegr or telephone establishment or office or by any express or transportation com- pany.

PRESIDENT GAINS IN POLITICAL WAY BY TRIP T0 WEST (Continued from First Page) visiting citizens, who have come and gone in clouds of caravan dust. He has ridden over the beautiful moun- tains, he has posed in group pictures, and posed not only for the motion pic- ture and news camera men, but for amateurs. He has mingled in crowds and rubbed elbows with those in over- alls and gingham as well as the more prosperous. He has patted scores of youngsters on the head, asked their names and praised them to their doting parents. He has attended church regularly. He has studied the animal and bird life, as well as the trees and flowers of the mountain country. Added to all this, the President has acknowledged thousands of letters that bid him welcome to the West, He has found time while transacting his busi- ness at the executive office to receive great numbers of callers and to listen to what they had to say. Silence Has Helped. With all his friendliness and socia- bility there is one thing Mr. Coolidge has not done—he has indulged in no speechmaking. He did offer a few words of greeting on two occasions when large groups called upon him at the lodge, but other than these merely perfunctory responses his lips have remained sealed. Peculiarly enough this absence of speechmaking on the President’s part has added to his popularity in the West. The effect of the President's holding his tongue is that a majority are crediting him with great wisdom and understanding. 1 Moreover, it has helped him politi- cally. As the President remarked only a few days ago when explaining why he did not make a speech on a certain recent occasion, “No man ever regretted anything he never said. He has nnlhinf to repent.” The power of silence in regard to his presence out here in a section that was sup- posed to be somewhat hostile because of his veto of the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill, has been tremendous. President Coolidge took a day off from the office yesterday to attend the annual observation of Gold' Dis- covery day at Custer, the oldest town in the Black Hills. The most thrilling incident of the day was not on the program, and, for a moment or so, it looked as though it might have a tragic ending. Runaway Causes Scare. Frightened by Indian war whoops and gunfire, a team of horses broke away from a covered wagon of the community pageant and plunged mad- ly through a crowd 20 feet from a car occupled by President and Mrs. Cool- e. “Stop those horses!” yelled the pageant director as the terrified beasts, released midfield, but held to- gether by their harness, dashed past the presidential party with a lone cowboy in pursuit. The President sprang to his feet, Mrs. Coolidge bu- ried her ‘face in her hands; Secret Service men surrounded thejr car, and the crowd parted in confusion as the team charged through an opening in a frail wooden fence to the right, gal- loped furiously between parked cars and disappeared over a hilliop in the Helen Wi and Miss Helen will meet tomorrow in the Is of the Hssex County Club in- vitation tennis tournament. In the semi-finals today both won easily, Miss Jacobs defeating Miss Margaret Blake of Lenox, 6—2, 6—2, and Miss Wills disposing of Mrs. J. Dallas Cor- biere of Boston, 6—0, 6—2. Miss Jacobs, who astounded the gal- lery at the Essex County Club invi- tations tournament yesterday when she defeated Mrs. Molla Mallory, na- tional champion, showed herself too forceful for Miss Blake, although she contested every point. Miss Jacobs did not show the daring placements she used against Mrs. Mallory, but contented herself with continuing the ajlies until a fair opportunity pre- | sented itself for one of her driving | smashes. She dropped her service but once, in the fifth game of the second set Four games were deuced in the first et.

A launch which the yachting com- mittee had ordered out when the squall appeared imminent threw a life preserver to Mills, but before the man, who was clinging to the aids of his overturned boat, could crasp it, it struck him on the jaw and knocked him unconscious. All three finally were rescued and other craft towed the Sparrow into a berth, where its owner declared he never wanted to sail it again.

Nine hundred Jowans are visiting ‘Washington today in connection with the fourth annual pilgrimage of resi- dents of Towa sponsored by the Ki- wanis Club of Shenandoab, Iowa. The guests arrived at Union Station on three special trains shortly after last midnight. Only a small group of the visitors are Kiwanians. These are being en- tertained by members of the Wash- ington Kiwanis Club. Most of the visitors went on sightseeing trips around Washington today. The majority will leave tonight for New York and return here early Saturday, in preparation for a reception by the Iowa State Society of Washington in the Willard Hotel Saturday night. The visitors again will leave here Sunday morning for Atlantic City. They will then return here and after a short stay make a trip to Norfolk, Va., returning here again Wednesday in preparation for their journey back to_Towa.

HEARS CHARGES IN GEORGE VOIGT CASE (Continued from First Page.) certain specific charges levied by the District assoclation were taken up. Nearly two score golfers of Wasl ington gathered in the lobby of the Mayflower Hotel at the hour set for the hearing, but not more than a half dozen persons were in the room while the actual inquiry was under way. Volgt was represented by E. C. Al- vord, a member of the Bannockburn Golf Club, and Henry L. West. Other witnesses heard during the early hours of the inquiry included Robert Augustine, president of the Glenwood Golf Club of Richmond, where Volgt played in an exhibition match in May; a colored caddie, who carried Voigt's clubs in the Indian Spring Club tournament, and Alvord, who tatked with Ramsey in New York about the Voigt case two daya ago, and West. Difficulty Is Expected. The District of Columbia Golf As- sociation eligibility committee, which made the ruling on Voigt's local play a week ago, was not represented at the early hearing, although Ramsey gald they would ba heard if they cared to present testimony in favor of their finding. Voigt himselt was said to have made a direct statement, refuting cerfain allegations which would have impaired his standing as an amateur golfer. Little question remained in the minds of many who waited for more than two hours outside the hearing room that Volgt will have difficulty re- taining his amateur standing. Mr. Ramsay explained that the Dis- trict association wrote the United States Golf Assoclation several weeks ago, placing before it a hypothetical case invdlving a “John Doe,” whom Mr. Ramsay said was Voigt. The F. Monahan, better known as “Boston Willlams, the “gentleman bur- glar,” was sentenced to 50 years in Sing Sing Prison today for participat. ing in tiie $90,000 jewel robbery at the Jesse L.

The definition of an amateur golfer, as laid down by the United States Golf Assoclation in rulings and inter- pretations, follows: “An amateur golfer is one who, at- taining the age of sixteen years, has not: .

By a Staft Correspondent. WOODSTOCK, Va., July 28— Capture of the bandit quartet which held up the Mount Jackson National Bank Monday was believed imminent today as Sheriff B. M. Borden of Shenandoah County plunged into the mountain” fastenesses in pursuit of the fugitives. Sherifft Borden, who yesterday routed a band of strange horsemen on Second North Mountain, today started for Wilsons Cove, with ‘a fresh posse, determined to solve the mystery of the riders, who are be- lieved to be friends or relatives of the bandits, probably acting as out- posts to warn them of the approach of the posses and to bring them food. At 7 ’clock this mrning the sheriff telephoned from the rangers' cabin below Devil's Hope Gap, miles from here, that he had found noth- ing and was_returning to his office here. Four hours later he' had not returned and nothing been heard from him. The rangers’ cabin is less than an hour's drive from here. Believed Pursuing Bandits. Justice Arthur Stickney, in charge of the sheriff’s office during his ab- sence, was convinced thai Borden had ‘found something hot.” There could be no other explanation of his continued absence without communi- cating with his office, Stickney sald. He said he was convinced that the sheriff had plunged into the heart of the mountains in pursuit of the quartet and if such was the case their capture was more than possible. Tiny heel prints yesterday indicated that the fugitives—two men and two women, believed to be from Washing- ton—had retraced their steps from 0ld North Mountain and had doubled back into Second North Mountai Then came the sighting of the horse- men, who fled at the approach of the sherift's posse. This indicated that the fugitives were hiding somewhere in the mountain, depending on moon- shiners for food and aid in escaping the pursuing posses. Every Road Watched. Stickney 'sald today that every ave- nue of egress from the mountain is watched.

Grant, 3d, director of pub- lic buildings and public parks of the National Capital, today opposed the plan of the Washington Rapid Transit Co. to establish a terminal in the pub- lic park between Kennedy place and Morrow drive and Sixteenth street. sver to the District Government should it be decided that a public exigency exists. Extension Is Suggested. Col. Grant suggested that in lieu of the proposed bus terminal, the Six- teenth street bus line be extended from Kennedy street to Underwood street and that the busses turn into Rock Creek Park at that point using the circular roadway already there. The establishment of the bus terminal in the park was proposed by the transit company in order to meet the complaints of residents in the vicinity -of teenth and Kennedy streets, that the turning of the busses at that point created an objectionable naise. The bus company's plan, Col. Grant said, is most objectionable because it would carry the busses into Morrow Drive, one of the principal entrances to Rock Creek Park. Will Congest Road. “To run the busses through the end of this drive,” he said, “will con- gest an already fully loaded park road and will introduce a very serious and they are watching every r leading out of the mduntains. In addi- tion to the posses, local police in every town near the mountain are on the lookout, and it seems impossible for the fugitives to escape. The difficulty of penetrating into the mountains and of searching out all the innumerable caves and other hiding places has made the immediate capture of the band doubtful, but Borden's fresh sally into the mountain today indicated that he was direetly on the trail and might bring the quarry to bay at any moment. C. L Dellinger, bookkeeper at the robbed bank, has furnished descrip- tions of the bandits, Which by now are familiar to everybody in this region. Dellinger accuses, his cousin, Kirby Dellinger, of being the leader of the band, A v SLLAS SR SHAW’S; GATE “CRASHED.” But Visitors Are Furniture Movers, Not Journalists. LONDON, " July 28 (#).—Famous old “No. 10 Adelphi Terrace,” was the center of much commotion today when a group of men marched freely into the home of George Bernard Shaw—"'crashing” the Shavian gate, a very real iron one, in a way that has been denled many times to scores of journalists seeking interviews or information. The men ‘were furniture movers and they were soon busy bringing out Shaw’s belongings under the watch- ful eye of his housekeeper for trans- ference to the dramatist’s new flat in Whitehall Court. Shaw, - who iy leaving the famous old writers’ colony at No. 10 because of its threatened demolition, is still out of town, having gone to Italy for a vacation. . | — ha, in its opinion, has received any :‘;)nsidemllan because of his skill at the game, or who has acted in a man- ner detrimental to the best interests or to ‘the spirit of the game. Advertising - Condemned. “The committee rules that the fol- lowing constitute a forfeiture of ama- teur standing: - “1. Lending one’s name or likeness for the advertisement or sale of any- thing except as a dealer, manufac- turer or inventor thereof in the usual course of business. “3, Permitting one's name to be’ad- vertised or published for pay as the the author of books or articles in goll of which one is not actually the au- thor. . “Any applicant for. reinstatement as an amateur player must have.acted S0 as to cc...e Within the definition of an amateur golfer for a period of three consecutive yéars immediately preced- ing the date of application.” i The Voigt case is the third fn 10 years of an outstanding golfer who has been declared ineligible for ama- teur play, althouih the U. §. G. A. has not yet ruled in this specific instance. Francis Ouimet of Boston, former national amateur and open champion, was ruled a professional golfer in 1917 because he sold sporting goods in the Boston store of his brother-in-law. The ruling caused a storm of controversy all over tha country. Ouimet was in- vited by the Western Golf Association to play in its amateur champlonship, which he did and won the title in the tourney played near Chicage. The following vear the U. 8. G. A. took him back into amateur golf, and he played in the 1919 ch: pxonshm. 4 Georgé von Elm of Los Angeles, the present amateur champion, was ruled a professional’ in 1923 because, according to the U. 8. G. A., he had s0ld golf goods on account of his pro- ficlency as a player. He wag in- eligible for but a short time, and played in the national amateur cham- pionship of 1923, losing to Ouimet in the third round. in Order to Give Associated Ch: Contributions may “S0S” for Summer Outings “Camp Good Will’ and “Camp Plegsant” must Raise More Funds tions to ‘the Children and Moth- John Joy Edson, Chairman of the Summer Outings Committee of the ies, has issued an appeal to all those Washingtonians who have not yet sent their contributions in support of this work, asking them to give what they can so at to meer this emergency.

WOMAN IS JILED "INROBBERY PROBE Escort Escapes in Clash With Police on Connecticut Avenue. Fashionable Connecticut avenue was the scene of gunplay and a stun- ningly dressed young woman battling a policeman for her freedom, shortly after 9 o'clock last night, when H. O. Sikorra, bank cashier, frustrated a supposed attempt to steal a package of 50 dresses from the establishment of Mrs. Juliette M. Allen, 1005 Con- necticut avenue. ‘Working overtime in the Connecticut avenue branch of the District’ Nation- al Bank, Sikorra became suspicious when he saw a young man and wom- an leave the place next door, and started to trail them, calling to Walter Taylor, the doorman on duty at the Club St. Marks, 1011 Connecticut ave- nue, to summon a policeman. The pair evidently feared they were being watched, and when Policeman ©. H. Lutz of the third precinct put in his appearance they started to run. Policeman Lutz fired two shots after the man, but halted when he came to the Eighteenth street trafic. and gave up the chase. ‘When the policeman attempted to take the woman inte custody. ahe gave battle and it was some moments before he subdued her. ‘Taken to police headquarters, the young woman - said she was Marie Rhein, 25 years old, and lived at an address on Pennsylvania avenue, later found to be fictitious. After question- ing the woman more than an hour, Detectlves Kelly, Weber, Ogle, Darnall and Waldron admitted they knew no more than when they started. The detectives said that tha young woman told them many things which they could not verify and that they are confident she has not given her right name. The woman's handbag contained more than $160, an apartment house key and trinkets. It was said that the detectives had learned that a woman and man answering the de- scription of the detained woman and her escaped companion had been liv- ing on lower Pennsylvania avenue, but recently moved to an apartment house. 1t is believed by the detectives that the pair used a duplicate key to enter Mrs, Allen’s store and they are pre- sumed' to have intended to drop by later in the evening and get the package of dresses which had been wrapped up and placed near the door. A further investigation is expected t6 accomplish the arrest of the young woman's escort of last’ night, and establish her own identity.

Plans of the Traffic Department to install automatic traffic signals at the intersection cf Eighteenth street and Columbia road and shift the traffic of- ficers on duty there to the intefsection of Ninth and U streets, were approved today by the Public Utilities Commis- slon. A suggestion was made to Traf- fic Director William H. Harland, how- ever, that a new type of traffic signal, having only red and green lenses, in- stead of the red, green and amber lens signal now in use in ather points} be placed at the Columbia road inter- section. The commission pointed out that the three-lens signal, with its amber “cau- tion™ light, is becoming obsolete, and that signals containing only a red and green lense afford more protection to pedestrians and at the same time tacilitate the movement of; sireet cars. Information has been given the com- mission_that Buffalo and other cities have discarded the threg lens light in favor of the red-and-green signal. By flashing the red signal simul-, taneously in all four directions for & definite period in lieu of an amber caution light, which is intended as & warning to motorists and pedestrians that traffic is about to change, the commission believes that far better results will be accomplished. Very often, it was said, motorists start o the amber caution signals before pedestrians have a chance to clear an intersection. Band Concerts.
