Forced Back in Race. Capt. Erwin took the Dallas Spirit out last Tuesday as a starter in the Dole race, hut he was forced back to Oakland with a torn fuselage, caused by the ripping of the canvas border- ing a window on the fuselage bottom. He made repairs and put out yester- day to fly a zig-zag course to Houno- lulu in_quest of his unheard-from competitors in the race. - Ships at sea rushed under forced draught early today to a spot approx- imately 590 nautical miles west from San Francisco, where the Dallas Spirit_sent out an “SOS” call after it had gone into two successive tail spins. Approximately 25 ships were steaming over the great circle route in search of the plane. Two Destroyers 108 Miles Away. The United States destroyers Lavel- lette and Sumner were believed to be the vessels nearest the Dallas Spirit.

Boats to Private Operators. —Dragged a after while suc: died soon BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Tor several weeks there have been rumors that President Coolidge and the Shipping Board were odds. The differences mnow come out into the open. Those inter- ests which insist that the Government shall go out of the shipping business have carried their case to the Presi- dent and have won out. The nouncement from Rapid City that M Coolidge favors the sale of the mer- chant fleet has not come as a sur- prise, but it does blast the hopes of those advocates of a Government- owned merchant marine. who believed that the profit made by the United States Lines would be the basis for a policy of enlargement or replacement by the Government of the existing fleet. Mr. Coolidge's statement that the United States Lines may have earned profits, but not on the original invest- ment of the ships at war-time price will provoke considerable controversy because if the original capital invest- ment is to be taken into consideration in determining a shipping policy, then the Shipping Board will never be able to dispose of the merchant fleet. Loss Urged by Operators. Private owners and operators contended that the Government should take a: loss on the original capital in- vestment and sell the ships at prices for tonnage. The Shipping Board has figured its profit not on the basis of what the ships cost in whr time, but on the prices prevailing the inference being that the is actually making profit on these ships in the tran st as would be tha c: s bought the ships at a low cost tod The position” of President Coolidge in favoring an early sale of the mer- chant fleet is thoroughly consistent with his previous expressions on the subject, but the Shipping Board ways has taken refuge in the pro- visions of the Jones merchant marine , which have insisted that the pur- chasers must guarantee to keep the American flag on the routes chosen. ‘Again and again the Shipping Board has advertised or sale, hut the (Continued on Page 2, Column 8) = DROWNS WITH 2 GIRLS.

S. —_— By the Associated Pre: PHILADELPHIA, August 20— Theft of cruiser plans from the naval base at Newport News, Va., and their sale to a foreign power if the Navy Department refused to pay for their return was revealed today. Sven Dan Berg, 24 years old, a Danish draftsman, formerly employed at the Newport News base, was held under $50,000 bail, having confessed the theft, and the drawings were safe in the custody of officials of the De- partment of Justice. Berg will be given a hearing August 31. The Dane made his confession to Assistant Federal District Attorney Claude Lanciano late yesterday, after he liad been called to the Federal Building on the pretext of scrutiny of his naturalization papers. There he was confronted by Government investigators and Hans Christian Rethamer, also a former draftsman at Newport News, whom officials ‘had arrested as a ruse. Confesses to Theft. After questioning Berg broke down, confessed that he had stolen the plans for the tonnage and outside construc- tion of cruisers Nos. 26 and 31, and that he had written a letter to the Bu- reau of Naval Construction at Wash- ington demanding that the Govern- ment buy the plans and threatening, if it did not, to sell them to a foreign power. He signed the letter “H. R. Dobbs.” Theft of the plans was discovered at Newport News about July 1, but in the meantime Berg, Rethamer and a number of others had been trans- ferred to a local office. Berg said that after stealing the plans he mailed them in a package of clothing to Philadelphia. “I took them from the post office to my room about July 26, he said. “I hid them yes- terday in Fairmont Park, for I was afraid ‘some one would be looking for them. I pealized later I could not sell them to a foreign government. It was a foolish trick.” Hidden Plans Recovered. Mr. Lanciano and several represent- atives of ‘the Department of Justice took the prisoner and motored to the Municipal Art Museum in the park Where Berg told the chauffeur to stop. He led the party behind the museum to a pile of rock where he had hidden the plans. They were wrapped in the cover of a magazine. - “Here they are,” he said. “Take them.” At his preliminary hearing Berg \as represented by Maurice Hoagland, counsel for the Danish consulate, who argued that $50,000 bail was excessive. Lanciano, in requesting a heavy bond, pointed out that Berg had been in possession of the plans for more than & month in which there was ample time to- make copies or to communi- cate with others who might be in- Volved in their disappearance.

Slipping of a keystone in the New National Museum Building has stirred up a whole nest of perplexing prob- lems for the Smithsonian Institution. There appears to be sharp diference of opinion as to the seriousness of the architectual defect, and officials in charge are in a quandary as to what to do next. They are stumped by a decision of the acting controller gen- eral, Lurtin R. Ginn, made public to- day, which denies them the right to call in engineers outside the Govern- ment service. The office of the supervising archi- tect of the Treasury, charged with re- sponsibility for all Federal buildings, which has been watching the slipping of the keystone for years, recently rendered a supplemental report, 1r which “it is suggested that the condi- tion may be a serious one,” the con- troller general was told. Seriousness Is Doubted. But certain officlals of the Smith- sonian Institution, the superintendent of the building concerned and others do not agree with the report of the supervising architect. They express the opiion, according to the request of the secretary of the Smithsonian to the Controller Gen- eral, that “the condition is not so serfous as the supervising architect helds.” In his reply denying the use of Fed- eral funds for the opinion of “two ex- perienced engineers outside the Gov- ernment service,” Acting Controller General Ginn said, “The engaging of experts not in the Government serv- ice to express opinion as to what should or should not be done in the matter of preserving or protecting Government buildings is not author- ized in the absence of specific legisla- tive authority therefor.” When the defect was first discovered, in 1921, the supervising architect warned that the movement of the stone should be watched, and the movement measured. Point Has Been Watched. “This has been done,” said the let- ter to the controller general, “and while the movement apparently has lessened, the supervising architect has made a further report, in which it is suggested that the condition may be a serious one, and that a movement of the piers may be in progress without turther keystone displacement.” Should_the defect be serious enough to warrant jmmediate action, officials at the Smithsonian said there were available appropriations which could be used in doing some repair or recon- struction work, but they were in the dark, according to their own opinion, as to whether such work neces- sary. What they wanted was addi- tional expert advice, and this had been denied by the acting controller general. The extent of the movement was described by persons at the Smith- sonian familiar with it, as being very small, a fraction of an inch. But opinions appear to differ sharply as to the importance of that movement of a fraction of an inch. < The displacement occurred in a key- stone of what is known as an interior arch on the east side of the rotunda.

GEARE, ARCHITECT OF KNICKERBOCKER, FOUND DEAD IN BED Discovered in Gas-Filled Room in Servants’ Quar- - ters of Home Here. ABSENCE AT BREAKFAST STARTS SEARCH BY WIFE Physician Says Victim Had Been Dead Three Hours When He Arrived. Reginald Wakefleld Geare, 38 years old hitect of the ill-fated Knicker- bocker Theater, was found dead from the effects of illuminating gas in the maid's rooms on the third floor of his home, 3047 Porter street, today. He was attired in his night clothes and stretched across the bed, which had been provided for a maid in the servants’ quarters on the third floor, but which was not occupied last night. His head was toward the foot of the bed, and on the floor also close to the foot of the bed was a tube running from a gas heater. Discovery of the body was made by Mrs. Geare when he failed to appear for- breakfast at about 10:30 o'clock this morning. She attempted to revive him and spent a short time knocking the panes of glass from a window in the room which was stuck to the win- dow sill because of infrequent usage. She then notified Policeman Moore of the fourteenth precinct, who was on the beat in that block, and the police, summoned Coroner Nevitt. Emergency Hospital ambulance also was called, but the physicians an- nounced Mr. Geare had been dead about three hourse before his arrival. Mr. Geare was an architect of prom- inence in the National Capital Relatives at the house today said he had been enjoying perfect health ntly, but that it was possible he was worried over financial problems incidental to building operations in which he was interested. No note was found. The bed in his room on the second floor had evidently been occupied last night and police believe that he went to the room on the third floor at about 3 or 4 o'clock this morning. He is survived by his widow, his mother and several brothers and sisters. After the collapse of the Knicker- bocker on the night of January 29, 1922, Mr. Geare and four others were indicted for manslaughter, but the charge later was quashed.

The shells did no damage. The Woosung forts replied without scoring any hits. After a time the attacking squadron withdrew. BRITISH SHIP GOES TO NANKING. Commander of Naval Forces Takes Force of 150 Marines. LONDON, August 20 (#).—In view of the increasing demoralization at Nanking caused by the onslaught of the Northerners, Rear Admiral Tyr- whitt, in command of the British naval forces in China, left aboard awkins yesterday with 4 force of 0 marines, says a Shanghai dispatch to the Daily Mail. Chiang Kai-Shek, former com- mander-in-chief of the Nanking Nationalist armies, has issued a statement declaring that his resis- nation as commander should be accepted and that he should be prosecuted for gross neglect of duty, sa a Reuter's dispatch from Shanghal. A deputation of 30 military leaders recently visited Chiang and begged him to withdraw his resignation. Both moves, the dispatch said, were regarded as “face savers.’ A Shanghai dispatch to the Daily Mail says that Mme. Chiang Kai-Chek sailed for the United States yesterday aboard the steamship President Jack- son. Friends said that she expected to make a tour of the United States be- fore reaching New York. It was reported yesterday, the dis- patch adds, that Chiang Kai-Chek will leave on Monday for Germany. Jinks’ Resignation From Irish National Party Is Accepted By the Associated Press.

AIRPORT IS SPARED $150,000 Fund Untouched as Commissioners Pare Down Estimates. In bringing the tentative estimates for the next year down to the limit of $38,804,780 fixed by the Budget Bu- reau, the Commissioners have left in the budget an item for $150,000 to be- gin work on Washington's proposed airport at Gravelly Point, it was learned today. This is the first time in the process of budget making that the airport recommendation has been given place in the regular estimates. Here- tofore, it is understood, the airport item was listed with a number of ur- gent supplemental items that were to be submitted with the r mates. ' The question of what part of the the book of estimates, but the Com- National Capital should be borne by the Federal Government remains to be settled when the appropriation gets before Congress. This question of division of cost is not dealt with in the book of estimates, but the com- missioners have before them the draft of a proposed bill which they prob- ably will send to Congress, and which would authorize establishment of the airport on the h nd-half basis. Final action on this bill will be taken when Commmi sioner Dougherty returns from his va cation.

By the A ated Press, BOSTO t 20—Arthur D. Hill, chief counsel for Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, said today that he had been informed by Elias Field, ociate counsel, that Justice James M. Morton, jr., of the Federal District Court had refused to issue a writ of habeas corpus and also had refused Field permission to appeal ted Justice Morton at his at Westport, yesterday and applied for the writ, which was sought in an effort to stay the exe- cution of Sacco and Vanzetti, whose respite expires at midnight next Monday. Hill said that he had written a let- ter to Gov. Fuller and that he ex- pected to go to Beverly today to see Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of the United States Supreme Court. Asks Further Respite, In his letter to the governor. Hill asked for a further respite, “in order that the cases may be dealt with by the Supreme Court of the United States.” Defense counsel regarded it as im- perative that some stay of sentence be obtained in order that the 10 copies required by Federal procedure might be made of the lenghty record of the seve: ar-long case. If Judge Mor- ton does not see fit to grant it, it was indicated that the Circuit Court or perhaps a Supreme Court justice would be asked to grant the desired time. As the result of the action of the Massachusetts Supreme Court yester- day, observers of the prolonged legal battle for the lives of the two men which the State has claimed forfeit for murder today could see only two remote chances of relief remaining in this State.
