NAVAL PACT DENIED Officials Declare They Have No Knowledge of Se- cret Agreement. By the Associated Press. An article in a morning paper here today which said State Department officials had received word that Great Britain and Japan had reached a secret agreement on naval policy brought from Acting Secretary Castle today a catagorical denial that the department had knowledge of any such understanding. The article said the agreement was reached when it became apparent that United States would not accept the ish program at the recent Geneva al limitations conference. The press story of a secret naval pact between Great Britain and Japan is, as far as the State Department knows, absolutely without founda- tion,” 'Mr. Castle said. “No sugges- tion of this kind has reached the de- partment and I have ne reason to believe that there is any foundation for the story.” “BIG NAVY PROPAGANDA.” British Deny Alleged Agreement With Japanese. LONDON, August 25 (#).—British official quarters today characterized as “big navy propaganda” reports pub- lished in America of a secret under- standing between Great Britain and Japan on naval supremacy. It was indicated that the report had reached official hands, but that it was deemed unworthy of consideration, It was stated that the only possible “agreement” to which the published report might refer was a compromise agreement drawn up by Japanese and British delegations at Geneva, but re- Jjected by Hugh S. Gibson, head of the American delegation. It was added that this affair was fully known and that the American rejection made it void. 17 CHURCH FIRES short eleventh with a 4 and lost the twelfth to a birdie.

LEADERS OF NOTORIOUS GANG SMITH DISCOUNT AUTO GROUP RO American Motorists’ Asso- ciation Names J. Borton Weeks as Head. War in the motor world, rumored on the eve of the organization of a new national motoring body propos- ing to compete with the American Automobile Association, is a most re- mote_possibility, according to Ernest N. Smith, general manager of the A. A. A. Speaking for the pioneer sociation in the motor club fleld, Smith declared today that the A. A. conccdes the right of any reputable arency to enter into com- petition and in its comment upon the American Motorists’ Association sought only to make the point that so close a parallel in names was “unfair and unethical.” “We are not so fatuous that we be- lieve the -American Automobile Asso- ciation has a monopolistic right in the motor club field nor any especial privi- lege to reserve parg of the alphabet to itself,” he said. “We do believe, how- ever, that the American Automobile Association has made a reputation for service that justifies that its name shall stand apart. We think, further, that fairness demands that any new- comer into the fleld should stand flatly upon the service it proposes to give and carefully avoid, if only for selfish reasons, an effort to paraphrase the symbol of another organization.” There are a number of motor clubs in various parts of the country that, for different reasons, are not eligible for membership in the A. A. Ay Mr. Smith declares. “If these clubs desire to form a na- tional alliance, no one has the right to question their action,” he says. Beck Issues Denial. Speaking for the American Motor- ists’ Association, which opened its or- ganization meeting at the New Wil lard Hotel today, Raymond Beck, gen- eral manager, said: “We regret the position of the A. A. A, but must deny that there was any effort on our part to para- phras its symbol. In choosing that name of our organization we sought one that would fit its character best. It did not occur to any of the sponsors of the A. M. A. that there was any unfairness in the selection, and we cannot agree with the A. A. A. in its allegations. We are incorporated un- der the name of the American Motor- ists’ Association, our charter and by- laws have been drawn and approved, and there the matter must rest.” The matter of similarity of the names of the two associations was brought iin o the foreground yesterday in a statc.ient issued by Thomas P. Henry, in which it also was pointed out that the new organization claimed the support of clubs of the Nn!!omxll Motorists’ Association. On this point, Mr. Henry said: “For the sake of maintaining an accurate perspective, which presumes a full knowledge of all the facts, it should be pointed out that the Na- tional Motorists Association, at one time the chief rival of the American Automobile Association in the field of national motoring service, ceased to exist in July of 1924 when the two organizations fused their strength at an epoch-making conference in De- troit. Thus ended the N. M. A. as a separate entity.” 40 Delegates Attend. In reference to the parallel in sym- bols, Mr. Henry declared that “the letters ‘A. A. are a symbol of outstanding character; they are-a sign which, like one's family crest. or the sculptor's initialing, stands for something more than just three let- ters of the alphabet; they have a significance which has been built up since the early days of motoring; they meant just about everything to the motorist of 1902, when first we organ- ized, and during the years of growth side by side with the growth of motor- ing as a national characteristic they have gained increasing prestige and confidence.” At its organization meeting this morning, which was attended by 40 delegates, Jesse C. Suter, president of the Greater Washington Motor Club, welcomed the visitors to the National Capital. Judge Richard H. Lee of New York presided at the session, and after Mr. Suter's address introduced J. Borton Weeks, president of the Key- stone Motor Club of Philadelphia, who outlined the purposes of the American Motorists’ Association. ‘Weeks Chosen President. In the election of officers which fol- lowed proval of the by-laws of the association, Mr. Weeks was elected to the presidency of the A. M. A. Others elected were: First vice president, William A. Thibodeau, Boston; second vice president, Si Mayer of Chicago; third vice president, John P. Hartman of Seattle; fourth vice president, Daniel McEnerny of New York; fifth vice president, Charles H.

RUSSELL YOUNG, Staft Correspondent of The Star. YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, August 25.—Not altogether satisfled with his catch after six and one-halt hours of fishing in Yellow- stone Lake yesterday, President Cool- idge was out after the trout again early this morning. i Apparently rested after his experi- ence of yesterday, he had breakfast at 7 o'clock, and an hour later was on his way to Squaw Lake, which had been selected as the scene of his angling today. Squaw Lake, a small body of water in a remote section about three miles from Yellowstone Lake, was chosen as today's battleground because it goves the President the choice of trolling from a boat or casting as he walks along the shore line. The President trolled yesterday on Yellowstone Lake and he remarked as he starting in quest of the trout today that he thought he would enjoy it more cast- ing. At least he is more accustomed to angling in that fashion and he in ferred that he considered it more in- teresting and sporty:. Mrs. Coolidge'’s Catch. Although the President made no mention of it to any one, it is under- stood he received quite a jolt when he returned to the hotel, tired and hungry, after the long, weary hours he spent out on the lake yesterday, and learned that Mrs. Coolidge, who really knows nothing in the world about fishing, caught only one less fish than the President, with all his skill, and she caught hers from a noisy, fast-moving motor boat, in the waters right in front of the hotel, while the President and his lttle party went to a spot more than 1 miles away and did his fishing from & rowboat. There was a look of determination on the President’s face as he went after the fish today. He had the ap- pearance of a man out to break all records. At least he would make Mrs. Coolidge’s happy catch of five trout yesterday look insignificant. The President was accompanied to- day by several of the secret service men, Sam Woodring, chief ranger in the park; Harry Trischman, his as- sistant; C. F. Culler, supervisor for the Bureau of Fisheries in this sec- tion, and Cecil ‘lideon, the President's Black Hills fishing companion and in- structor. They left word that they would not return to the hotel until luncheon e. First Lady Satisfled. Satisfied with her fishing experience of yesterday, Mrs. Coolidge said today that that would do her for a while, and she and John went on a long mo- tor ride for the purpose of seeing more of the scenic beauties of this country. Their_intention was to go to the Teton Mountains, beyond the park boundary, about 75 miles from the Lake Hotel, where the party is mak- ing its headquarters today. When President Coolidge falled to rogurn to the hotel from his fishing trip yesterday until 8:05 last night, more than an hour after sundown, some members of his party and the people at the Lake Hotel resort be- came uneasy. This uneasiness grew into a mild scare as the time passed and there was no sign of the Presi. ent. There was a certain quiet about gxte hotel during this period of anx- Y. Anxious crowds gathered on the shore front, and those who had field glasses scanned the distant waters on the lake. There was beginning to be talk of a searching party being sent out when the lights of the 33. foot cabin cruiser belonging to the United States fish hatchery located near the lake hotel, carrying the President, were sighted in the dis- tance. Cheers greeted the party as it en- tered the brilliantly lighted lobby of the hotel. Tired and Pale. The President, smiled in acknowl- edgement as he passed on up the stairs to the presidential suite, where Mrs. Coolidze and their son John were waiting. The President looked tired and pale as he climbed the stairs. He Iost no time getting dinner and halt an hour later was in bed and asleep. The President fished yesterday from the leeward side of Frank Island. about 10 miles from the Lake Hotel, which is said by the fishermen in this section to be the best fishing spot in the neighborhood. The President may have his doubts about this as he caught only six fish during the six and one-half hours he was strolling. He enjoyed himself, though, and remarked upon his return that he liked the fighting qualities of the cut-throat or black-spotted trout. Although the President yesterday caught only six trout, nearly all of them gave him a good play. He also had the pleasure of being informed |. that one of his catch weighed nearly three pounds. Dances With Twins. When the President said upon the completion of his meal last night that he was going to turn in right away, Mrs. Coolidge and John went to a community entertainment and dance, given under the auspices of the young men and women employed in the hotel and the camp. _The one big feature of the dance was John's participation. He danced twice. His partner the first time was Fern Smith, and the second time her twin siste Alta. These twins are from Lyons. Kans., and at- tend the University of Kansas. They are working at the hotel camp this Summer as waitresses. The presidential party was to have moved on this morning to Grand Can- yon, 15 miles from the lake hotel, but the President’s desire to fish in Squaw Lake, and Mrs. Coolidge’s to see the country in the neghborhood of Jack- son's Hole and the Teton Mountains called for a postponement. The party is not expected to leave for the Can- yon before tomorrow morning. . Miss Hemingway Dead. Miss Nannie P.

By the Associated Press. ATHENS, Ohio, August At- tempted Invasion of the non-union co: mines of Middieport and Pomeroy 1 several hundred sympathizers halted today by quick agtlon of union officials who feared the demonstration might lead to violence. Starting in the Sunday Creek Val- ley near Glouster with 400 union sym- pathizers, the caravan picked up eral hundred more as it proceeded southward through the county until the throng, carried {n automobiles and headed by a drum corps, was esti- mated to have numbered 1,000 men, women and children when it was stopped. Heads Off Party. Learning of the advance on Meigs County fields, Oral Daugherty, presi dent of the subdistrict miners’ union, left Athens hurriedly in an automobile and, traveling a circuitous rou.e, head- ed off the party before it crossed the Athens-Meigs County border. He in- duced the crowd to turn back and it was quickly dispersed. As the throng passed onward the members of the party called out to others along the roadside who either leaped in the passing cars or soon join- ed in other vehicles. Sought to Win Back Members. After halting the attempted invasion, Daugherty went to Pomeroy, where he remained in case another effort would be made. As the Athens Coun- ty union sympathizers approaches Sherift J. A. Willock, Meigs County, prepared for the emergency by mobiliz- ing deputies and announced he was ready to meet the situation. Richard Campbell, president of the Pomeroy district of the union, also started to head off thé miners, and reached them about the same time that Daugherty came up from the rear. The “march” was started with the idea of persuadinz a number of former Athens County union miners, now working in non-union mines in Meigs County, to give up their emsloyment and join the fight against operators who are in disagreement with the union over the wage scale. WOMEN ASSAIL WORKERS, Stones and Eggs Hurled at Non-Union Men Guarded by Sheriff, _MARTINS FERRY. Ohio, August 25 (A)—Two disorders within the week have occurred here as a result of ill feeling between union sympa- thizers and Belmont County coal mine operators who are determined to re- open their mines h non-union labor.

Monday, three mine officials were assaulted by a group of 100 men and women and one of the trioc was knocked unconscious. With the exception of several who suffered minor injuries, the only asualty yesterday was a deputy sher- iff, who received a serious bite. The fray ended when the sheriff and his deputies drew their cudgels and charged. Five persons, four of them women, are now being held as a result of the two disorders. Josephine Hole- wick, Catherine Nizka and Margaret Luposki were jailed yesterday and William Brown and Elizabeth Ko- nyha face charges of violating a Fed- eral court restraining order and of inciting a riot in connection with Mon- day’s outbreak.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 25.—The action of Martin Jensen in Honolulu yesterday in paying his navigator, Capt. Paul Schluter, only $25 for nav- igating the monoplane Aloha from San Francisco Bay to Honolulu to win $10,000, second prize in the Dole race, was not in accordance with instruc- tions given by Mrs. Jensen to her hus- band before the race. She insisted that the navigator be paid nothing. From the beginning Mrs. Jensen wanted her husband to fly alone. She believed he could make the hop single- handed, and her opinion was based on her experience when she accompanied him as an aviatrix at country fairs. Offered Services for Nothing. ‘When it became apparent that Jen- sen might be compelled to use 47 five- gallon cans to carry his reserve sup- ply of gasoline he cabled to Mrs. Jen- sen saying he would be able to obtain a second man in the plane, who could refill the main fuel tanks from the small cans and navigate the plane as well. This, Mrs. Jensen approved, providing no money was paid to the navigator. The five-gallon plan was discarded later. Jensen interviewed a long line of applicants and found an experienced navigator—a captain in the Navy— who agreed to navigate the plane and pour the gasoline without compensa- tion. The officer asked that he be guar- anteed his transportation back to the mainland should the monoplane ar- rive in Hongjulu. Jensen sald he would gnarantee the return fare if the plane came within the prize money; otherwise not. Wife Is Business Manager. Mrs. Jensen raised the plane pur- chase money by subscription in Hono- lulu while her husband was en route to California to obtain a plane. She has been the business manager of the venture from the start. In a message to cnsen she told him that if he dared to let the Aloha down at sea she would row out and ‘“pat vou on the head with an oar.” PROMOTION .GIVEN TO TWO OFFICERS Brig. Gen.

While the police were endeavoring to question the McErlanes, two psychi- atrists were present, and after their observations of the proceedings said there was sufficlent evidence to hold the brothers for further observance. ‘When registering at the hotel, the brothers had given the names of Charles Ryan and Vincent Jordan.

BOSTON, August 25.—Until Sunday of Nicola Sacco and Bar tolomeo Vanzetti will lie in state in a small funeral parlor in the North End, the Italian scction of Boston. The undertaker agreed to remove religious emblems. The bodies will be taken to the parlor this afternoor. Efforts to obtain a hall where the bodies of the radicals who were exe- cuted for murder might lie in state fafled. The owners of the building housing the Sacco-Vanzettl defenss committee had a 2-by-4 joist nailea upright in the doorway to prevent a casket entering the buildinyg.

Copyright, 10 SHANGHAI, August 25.—The ex- ecution of Sacco and Vanzetti echoed here today with the distribution of thousands of leaflets directed against the United fates, demanding a boy- cott of Ame..can goods. “Beat down the American Govern- ment,” the leaflets demanded, and making a threat to destroy the Amer- ican consulate, they called upon the “proletariat of China and of the world to arise directly for the sake of our martyrs, who died for the true emancipation of our class.” “Agitate and directly abolish the authority of theé dollar state,” they admonish. The leaflets were signed by “Black Flag Union of Korea," the “Anarchist Youth Federation of China” and the “Anarchist Federa- tion of Shanghai. The American consul general, Ed win S. Cunningham, admitted having received numerous threats, though he is not taking them too seriously. The municipal council has strengthened the foreign settlement force, which includes Sikhas, Russian constables and United States marines. Besides the consulate, the leaflets also threatened to “destroy capitalist and imperialist institutions of the United States in Shanghal.” Thou- sands of leaflets, printed In both Chinese and English and bearing the photographs of Sacco and Vanzettl, were dropped from the tallest Chinese buildings within the international set- tlement.
