TRIANGLE BUSINESS FINDS AMPLE ROOM Zoning Commission Holds Capital Has Four Times Too Much Commercial Area. Business establishments which will be forced out of the Pennsylvania avenue triangle by the public build- ings program have ample commercial area in which to locate, the Zoning Commission announced today after a comprehensive study of property now zoned for commercial development. In fact, the commission’s study revealed that the District at the present time has approximately four times too much first commercial property, judg- ing from the areas allowed by other cities for commercial use, and that, when the probable capacity of 1,000, 000 inhabitants is reached, there still will be twice too much first com- mercial property even though there be no change in that which now exists. Many cities which have zoning the commission pointed out, allow a 50-foot frontage of first commercial zoning for each 100 resi- dents. In the District, however, the ratio 18 200 feet of commercial front- age to every 100 residents. New Area Planned. The commission also announced that it plans to study a proposal to estab- lish a new residential area to be known as “AA Restricted” which would permit the construction of semi- detached houses. The change will require an amendment to the zoning regulations, which Maj. W. E. R. Covell, Assistant Engineer Commis- sioner and executive officer of the commission, has been directed to pre- pare for consideration at the com- mission’s next executive meeting. Aside from the changes in zoning ordered Wednes’av, the commission has provided for the creation of com- mercial islands along Conduit road be- tween Foxhall road and the District line, by ordering a residential zoning for the following first commercal prop- erty: North side of Conduit road from Dana place to Chain Bridge road; south side of Conduit road from Dana place to Nebraska avenue; both sides of Conduit road from Galena place to Edmunds place and both sides Conduit road from Macomb street to Norton street. Other Changes to Be Studied. Changing the property on Conduit road between Macomb street and Ga- lena place from residential to first commercial will be considered at ths Beptember public hearing. The commission also has decided to change slightly its system of notifica- tion of property owners as to changes in zoning. Maj. Covell was authorized to send out two mimeographed slips in addition to the usual notice now given by police officer. —— LOCAL PLAYERS LOSE GOLF QUARTER FINALS Miller and Burrows Defeated in Play at Cleveland Tour- nament.

The executive committee of the Dis- trict of Columbia Golf Association will meet within 10 days to consider further the status of George J. Voigt, champion golfer of the District, who has been declared ineligible to play in the District amateur championship next Fall, and who last night was made eligible to compete in the United States amateur title event after an investigation by the United States Golf Association. Although the association which governs golf affairs in Washington has not received a copy of the deci- sion of the United States Golf As- sociation, holding Voigt eligible to play n the national amateur championship, Albert 1. Steinem, its president, tends to call a meeting shortly to lay the entire matter before the executive committee for any action it deems fit. Findings Here Not Upheld. The decision of the United States Golf Association in the Volgt case to k direct issue with the findings of the District Golf Association, which declared Voigt has acted in a manner detrimental to the best interest and spirit of the game of golf. At the same time, President Steinem declared that’personally he is glad to see Voigt given a chance to compete for the national amateur champion- ship. The tourney will be plaved at Minneapolis beginning August 22. . Two courses are open to the District jon, Mr. Steinem said. The ce committee can reconsider the Voigt case and rescind the find- ings of its eligibility committee whic] recommended that Voigt be barre from play in its champlonship tourna- ment; or it can review the decision of the national golf body and stand pat on its action. Action Not Binding Locally. Mr. Steinem pointed out that the action of the United States Golf Association is not binding on the District of Columbia Golt Association in so far as its local tournaments are concerned, although he said he does not care to take issue with the na- tional body. Meanwhile, Voigt, visibly elated by the decision of the United States Golf Association, was preparing to leave for Bar Harbor, Me., there to join his employer, E. B. McLean. ‘Washington publisher. Before he left he issued & statement criticizing the action of the District of Columbia association and declaring that his case in Washington was “handicapped by prejudice and bias.” He added that he hopes to make a good showing in the national amateur title event. The decision of the United States Golf Association brings to an end, as far as that body is concerned, an inquiry into Voigt's status which started last March, when veiled rumors that Volgt was making his living from the game of golf came to the national body. Meanwhile the District of Columbia association, at its annual meeting, ap- pointed a special committee to inves- tigate the eligibility for amateur play ot any amateur golfer in Washington. Voigt's name was the first to be con- sidered. The matter went along for two months and then the local body wrote the national association for its aid, outlining a _hypothetical case against a “John Doe.” The United States Golt Association wrote that it was already considering the status of “John Doe” and later informed the local body that it would hold an in- quiry into the status of Voigt on July 28. This inquiry was held at the May- flower Hotel on that date behind closed doors, and culminated yester- THE EVENTNG STAR,. WASHINGTON, GIANT U.S.ARMY PLANE FAGES TEST Greatest Bombing Machine Will Be Tried Out Next Wednesday. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 5.—The third glant bomber to be secretly construct. ed recently for the United States ¢, larger and heavier than the ous two, and employing a unique tubular steel wing construction which has been under development for five vears, will be tested by the Keystone Afreraft Corporation, Bristol, Pa., next Wednesday, the corporation an- nounced through its press representa- tives here today. The Keystone plane will be known as a “super cyclops,” and will carry four tons of military load, including a one-ton bomb, in addition to six, possibly ten, machine guns. It will be driven by two 550-horsepower Packard motors and will weigh eight tons when loaded. It has been secretly under develop- ment for the past two and a half years, Richard Blythe, representa- tive of the Keystone company, re- vealed. The first two giant battle planes to be tested recently after secret con- struction were the Fokker bomber and the Curtiss Condor, each equipped with six machine guns. The super-cyclops is said to be the mightiest plane yet constructed in the United States, and fs believed to be the mightiest in the world. Like the Curtiss Condor it is a biplane, day in the announcement that as far as national golf affairs are concerned, Voigt is eligible to compete in the national amateur tournament. The de- cision last night came as a complete surprise to officers of the local body. Committee Stands Pat. Chairman Guy Mason of the Dis- trict association eligibility commit- tee said his committee would stand pat on its findings of fact in the Voigt case, putting any reconsidera- tion or rescinding of action up to the executive committee. “The eligibility committee was charged with ascertaining the facts in the case,” Mr. Mason said. “This it did and submitted the matter to the executive committee, which took action. Any further action is up to the executive committee.” Other members of the eligibility committee are G. H. Chasmer, Co- lumbia Country Club; Morven Thompson, Chevy Chase Club; Dr. 3. T. McClenahan, Washington Golf and Country Club, and Mr. Steinem. Members of the executive committee are: Steinem, C. Chester Caywood of the Indian Svrlng Club, Middleton Beamen of the Bannockburn Golf Club, Dr. W. C. Barr, Columbia Country Club, and Robert Stead, Chevy Chase Club, and a past presi- dent of the association. On July 22 that local association gave out its decision holding that Voigt, having acted “in a manner detrimental to the best interest and epirit of the game was barred from the local champlonship. Then the United States Golf Association came along with its independent inquiry and the case assumed nation-wide im- portance in view of the prominence of the player and the fact that he is looked upon as a possible winner of the national champlonship. In many quarters the decision of the national body is looked upon as a complete vindication of Voigt, while in others the view is held that the District association, acting as a soclal body for the good of the game in Washington, is entitled to an inde- pendent stand, and as such. should hold to its decision. o THOMAS STEARN DEAD; WAS OLD D.

MRS. VOIGT SEEKING ALIMONY INCREASE Wife of Golf Champion Holds $50| Award Is Insufficient for Family. George J. Voigt, amateur golf cham- pion, was sued for maintenince yes- terday in the District Supreme Court by Mrs. Charlotte V. Voigt. Mrs. Voigt says the $50 a month which her husband has been paying her unpder a separation agreement is not sufficient for her support and that of their two children. She asks a dis- covery of the income of her husband, which she claims includes a salary of $250 a month from Edward B. Mc- Lean, together with winnings by her husband on the McLean horses. She also wants to know, through Attorney Crandal Mackey, the amount of the winnings, it any, of her husband from betting on himself in golf tourna- ments, Mrs. Voigt tells the court of her marriage June 28, 1918, and of the birth of the two children, February 9, 1919 and July 3, 1920. She has twice filed suits against her husband, which have been withdrawn and re- concilfation effected. He recently de- serted her, she states, after telling her he had been employed by Mr. Mec- Lean as an editor of the Washington Post on a salary of $250 a month. The wife charges cruelty and says her husband boasted of his success with other women. Mrs. Voigt declares her physical condition does not permit her to work ! except for a few hours a day for which she receives $10 a week. Her husband, she declares, lives at the homes of Mr. McLean in Florida, North Carolina and at Bar Harbor. Chief Justice McCoy will hear the application of the wife for a tempor- ary decree next Tuesday. AGAIN SWALLOWS_POISON. Mrs. Ethel Hunter a Sufferer for Fourth Time.

Although retiring from active preach- ing after his appointment by Presi- dent Coolidge as a postmaster of the fourth class, he taught Sunday school occasionally at the Union Sunday School, a few rods from the store, and was well known throughout the coun- tryside. His death has cast a shadow over the community. This morning farmers came from a 15-mile radius to express their sympathy to the little family, now motherless and fatherless. The mother died several y ago. “I would rather have had my store burn 10 times over than to have had such a tragedy occur,” ~Mr. Dunn stated, “and it s difficult for me to realize that the last words he spoke were to ask me for the key when he was determined to rescue the mail intrusted to his car MISSING VIRGINIAN DEAD.

T, FRIDAY, A ENGLISH SWIMMER CROSSES CHANNEL E. H. Temme, 22, Is Eleventh to Suoceed—First At- tempt of Season. By the Ascociated Press. DOVER, England, August 5.—F. H. Temme, English swimmer, succeeded today In the first attempt of the sea- son to swim the glish Channel. Taking off from Cape Gris Nez at 12:42 o'clock this morning, Temme landed two miles west of Dover. Temme is captain of the Cornhill Swimming Club and has thrice won the Essex long-distance championship. He 1s 22 years old, stands 6 feet 2% inches and weighs about 205 pounds. He used the trudgeon stroke for his successful Channel swim and was escorted by a Boulogne tug. The water was warm and the sea calm when he entered the channel from Cape Gris Nez in the darkness. Mrs. Clemington Mille Gade Corson of New York, who last year became the second woman to swim the chan- nel and who now is training for another crossing, witnessed the last stage of Temme's swim. Mrs. Corson preparing to attempt to swim from England to France, the reverse direc- tion of her first swim. Temme's time, as computed by rep- resentatives of Llovds, was 14 hours and 27 minutes. This is four minutes faster than Gertrude Ederle’s time last year, but has been beaten by three men—Ernst Viergkotter, Georges Michel and Norman Leslie Durham— in earlier channel swims. Eleventh to Make Swim. Temme's successful crossing makes him the eleventh swimmer to conquer the English Channel. Two of them were women. Capt. Matthew Webb of England made the first crossing in 1875, swim- ming from Dover sands to Sangatte Beach, France, in 22 hours 45 min- utes. Thomas W. Burg of England swam from Dover to Cape Gris Nez in 1911, in 22 hours and 35 minutes. Three crossings were made in 1923. Henry Sullivan of Lowell, Mass., swam from Dover to Cape Gris Nez in 27 hours 23 minutes; Sebastian Tira- hoschi of Buenos Aires swam from Cape Gris Nez to Dover sands in 16 hours 23 minutes; Charles Toth of Boston swam from Cape Gris Nez to Dover sands in 16 hours 54 minutes. In the great Channel swimming sea- son of last year five swimmers made the crossing, or as many as ever had crossed before. Gertrude Ederle Sets Record. The first to cross last year was Ger- trude Ederle of New York, who swam from Cape Gris Nez to Dover in 14 hours 31 minutes, on August 6. Three weeks later Mrs, Corson swam from Cape Gris Nez to Dover in 15 hours 32 minutes, landing Au- gust 28, Two days later Ernst Vierkoetter of Cologne, Germany, swam from Cape Gris Nez to Dover in 12 hours 43 minutes. Ten days later Georges Michel of Paris, swam from Cape Gris Nez to Dover in 11 hours 5 minutes.

Mr. Skramstad took the pic- tures himself with an_ amateur motion picture camera. He photo- graphed characteristic scenes, his family and friends in America.

DISCUSSION SEPT. 5 ON CENTRALIZATION Commissioners and Arts Body to Confer on Group- ing City Activities. The Commission of Fine Arts and the District Commissioners will hold a joint session at the District Build- ing September 5 to discuss the plan for the centralization of all municipal activities in the area located between Third and Sixth streets and Pennsyl- vania and Indiana avenues. The plan contemplates the grouping of a number of buildings, facing on both Pennsylvania and Indiana ave- nueg. It also provides for the widen- ing of John Marshall place, the prin- cipal north and south thoroughfare through the area, with a view to pro- viding a magnificent vista to the courthouse. A preliminary study of the housing needs of the District government shows that the proposed municipal group of buildings will have to con- tain about 260,416 square feet of floor space, for the activities quartered in the District Building, and those which will be forced out of the Pennsylvania avenue triangle by the Federal Gov- ernment’s building program. These calculations are based on the needs 10 vears hence. The immediate needs, however, would require 150,754 square feet of floor space. INLATIN AMERICA Prof. Shepherd of Columbia U. Proposes Commission on “Inquiry and Conciliation.” By the Associated Press, WILLITAMSTOWN, Mass.,, August 5.~Prof. W. R. Shepherd of Columbia University today presented to the in- stitute of politics a proposal for the creation of an “inter-American com- mission of inquiry and conciliation” as a part of a plan to harmonize Latin American relationships. To this com- mission would be submitted disputes not determinable by ordinary diplo- matio agencies. The duties of the commission would be to investigate and recommend. The plan further pro- posed a supplementary institute of inter-American relationships. Of the two possible policies of ab- stention or regulation that might be adopted by the United States in dealing with Latin America, he de- clared the first to be untenable and the second capable of irritating elas- ticity. “As international relationships are now constituted,” he said, “abstention impossible. Objects to Regulation Policy. “On the other hand, regulation, the policy now in operation, might be carried to a point where it would in- volve us in difficulties both at home and abroad. Most of the Latin Amer- ican countries are members of the League of Nations. As such, they may not continue forever in the role of making complaints, politely listened erful European associates.” G. Butler Sherwell, economist of Georgetown Univer: . Washington, stressed the need of Latin American loan policy. Pointing out that 45 per cent of foreign investments of $12,000,- 000,000 have gone from the United States to Latin America, he declared “Latin American securities may be re- garded as the safest foreign risk available at present.” Loans Should Be Supervised. “A policy should be formulated reg- ulating these international loans as to amount, purpose, fictation, monop- oly rights and the degree of responsi- bility of our Government in protect- ing its investors n Latin America and in its development, but I believe that in spite of the huge amount of loans so far granted, we have just begun to_enter the market.” Dr. Joseph 8. Davis, a former mem- ber of the Dawes commission, lectur- Ing on international debts, said the in- ternational annuities to the United States of $200,000.000, which, after 1950, will Increase to $350,000,000, are moderate {n comparison to Germany's 60,000,000 annuity payable under the Dawes plan.

By the Assoclated Press. BUDAPEST, Hungary, August §.— Premier Bratiano has ordered a dou- ble guard to keep utmost vigilance at all horder points where former Crown Prince Carol might attempt to enter the country, according to Bucharest dispatches reaching here. Opposition parties in Rumanla, while ostensibly manifesting loyvalty to the new sovereign and the regency, say these dispaiches, actually would welcome any change in the dynasty that would overthrow the regime of Premier Bratiano. Carol is declared to be still nopular with certain sece tions of the army, although perhaps somewhat less than six months ago, and many Rumanians are represented as believing that his return, either secretly or legally, is not excluded as a pe lity. It is stated that, re- alizing this, M. Bratiano has ordered the double border guard at strategic points, ‘The Bucharest dispatches say that efforts are being made by the Ru- manian government to Induce early recognition of the boy King. Michael, and his regency, by the foreign gov- ernments. Thus far, it is added, not a | single foreign representative has pre- sented his credentials to the new re- gime, the comment being made that all the foreign countries apparently want first to satisfy themselves that the boy sovereign and his supporting regents have come to stay and that Carol will not make an attempt to upset the throne. A few days after King Ferdinand's funeral, t Rumanian foreign office sent out feelers to members of the diplomatic corps in Bucharest to de- termine whether their governments were ready to have them present fresh letters of credence to the new King. Most of the Ministers found a solution to the awkward situation by absenting themselves on ‘*vacation” from Bucharest, and sending a brief note to the Rumanian foreign office explaining it might be better to take up the question of presenting their credentials upon their return to Bucharest in the Autumn. REGIME HELD ILLEGAL. Present Rule Under Fire in Ru- manian Parliament. BUCHAREST, Rumania, August § (#).—Parliament, before adjourning yesterday until October 14, heard Juliu Maniu, chief opponent of Pre- mier Bratiano, denounce the present administration in Rumania as ille. gal and totally at variance with the government envisaged by King Ferdi- nand before he died. M. Maniu demanded free elections, reiterating his charge that the pres- ent government Is unconstitutional m!lrl] not representative of the people's will. The final session also was enlivened by a flery discussion of the existing press censorship and the confiscation of foreign newspapers containing matter inimlcal to the present regi Deputy Ionescu of the National Peas- ants’ Party. insisted that if the gov- ernment desired to save its prestige abroad, it should abandon immediately its policy in this direction. The gov- ernment leaders turned a deaf ear to the plea. SHIPPING NEWS Arrivals at and_Sailing From 'w York. ARRIVED YESTERDAY.
