LARGER RED CROSS RELIEF FUND ASKED $1,000,000 Increase in An- nual Revenues Is Needed, . Convention Told. Blazing Sun fo of Worl RY BRIAN BELL Associated Press Sports Writer. Facing an unprecedented drain on | 1is reliet funds by reason of a never ending stream of disasters, the Ameri- | can Red Cross in the closing session | of its convention today appealed to| its members for an increase of at| least $1.000,000 in its annual revenues. | i safety's sake our funds musi| he depleted.” warned James K.| McClintock. financial assistant to the chair:.. :n of the matio anization, in his report to the convention. That the unobligated balance in the goneral treasury was dangerously low at the end of the fiscal year ended | June 30 last was indicated by a total of only $3.773.391 on hand. Unusual disasters the world over during the| past five vears, he declared, had| caused an expenditure of $13,825,000 | for relief purposes solely. | The total obligated and unobligated | general funds at the end of the fisca!| Year amounted to $29,168,899, the re- | port showed, and the budget for the 1928 fiscal year is fixed at $16.945.837. The problem facing the Red Cross dur- ing the forthcoming year was indi- cated by the fact that the budget re-| quirements are aproximately $13,000.- 000 in excess of last year. Cites Reserve Fund Need. For the eight years ended June 30 Jast, Mr. McClintock reported. the or- ganization had collected $44.778,000. but_had_expended $130.5 ! “The Red Cross must always have a sufficient reserve fund available over Its zeneral disaster fund, so as to },egi work immediately in the event of some great disaster befors it calls for pub- lic contributions,” he warned. The | recent Smyrna disaster, which cost the Red Cr 00,000, ‘of which only | about $330,000 was contributed, was cited as one reason why it is so neces- | sary to have a large reserve fund | always at hand. i In connection with this appeal for | greater financial aid officers of the | Red Cross today urged the member- | hip to put its shoulder to the wheel | and boost the 1928 roll call over the 5.000,000 mark fixed by the centrai committee. Roll Call Pledges Received. not Reports from hundreds of chapters | accepting the quotas allotted con tinued to pour into convention head- quarters during the day. Among the | first to be received was a message from the Arlington, Va., County | Chapter, which pledged its allotment of 1,000 members. Home of the chap- ters promised to quadruple their quotas. From Dr. §. Park Cadman, president of the Council of the Federa- tion of Churches, came a message promising the support of that organ- jzation in the roll call campaign. Douglas Griesmer, director of the roll call, declared that while the organ- jzation’s membership was reported to have been stationary in recent years, it is actually on the up grade. He predicted that the goal of 5,000,000 members not only would be reached in 1928, but would greatly exceed that| mumber. | “Last August when the rgl call| books were totaled up,” he sai, “they showed an increase of 75,000 ssembers since 1918." Nation-Wide Drive Outliigd. Mr. Griesmer outlined to the Sonven- tion delegates ways to put on a Na- tion-wide roll call campaign with high- powered publicity methods in every community, no matter how small. The first step in such a campaign, he de- clared, was to let each of the 3.000 Red Cross chapters realize the need of increasing the members and the goal that it is expected to reach in the campaign. There should be no let-up in efforts to put the roll call across, he declared. Following the conclusion of this morning's regular business the resolu- tions committee was to make its re- port to the convention. This after- moon the sessions were to be devoted mainly to discussions of “volunteer service,” with Miss Mabel T, Board- man, director, in charge of the pro- gram. Directors of the nursing service, home hygiene, first aid and life-saving and roli call services were to meet be- tween 2:15 and 5:15 o'clock in the final session of the convention. While the convention proper will close then, the | Junior Red Cross. which is meeting | for the first time at a national conven- | tioi will stage “The Vision Splen- did,” a pageant, at the East Washing- ton Community Center, Eastern High School, tonight. There will be a con- cert by the United States Navy Band | Orchestra at 7:30 o'clock, followed by “lre:‘mxeam, to which the public is in- vited. Hoover May Return. Announcement was made at con- | vention headquarters today that Secretary Hoover and . James L. Fieser, vice chairman of the Red | Cross,” probably will return again to the Mississippi flood area the latter part of November or early in Decem- ber to inspect progress and determine the basis of expending the remaining balances.in the flood relief fund atter January 1. This balance, Mr. Hoover has told the conyention, will be only ebout $1,000,000. The Red Cross is well organized in the seven affected areas and is de- termined to see the task of reconstruc- tion through to the finish, Nearly $16,000,000 will have been expended by the Red Cross in the stricken valley by January 1, Mr. Fieser said. The problem of caring for the 600,000 flood victims is difficult enough, he ex- plained, but in addition to this it is Tnecessary 1o care for 200,000 head of work animals and cattle. | a {a severe handicap in gripping a bat | dered soft and low in the shadow of | was received yesterday at the Royal FORBES FIELD, PITTSBURGH, October A blazing sun greeted the New York Yankees and Pittsburgh Pirates when they came out today to renew the world series competition, be- gun in rather haphazard style ves terday here was a contrast in the de- meanor of the opposing athletes as they went to their respective club- houses to don their uniforms. The Yankees, with a victory in the opener, under their belt, were carefree and willing to jest at random. The Pirates were a sober-faced group and might have been thinking of a vigofous tongue lashing, real or fancied, admin- stered by their manager, Donnie Bush, for their mental and physical Japses | vesterday. Bush may not have ‘bawled out” his plavers, but he is known to have rasping tongue. The crowd was slow in assembling there in the | 4‘ for the second game. At noo were many wide open spac bleachers beyond the outfleld fences ind the iines formed in the streets for he standing room ticket sale were neither so long nor so patient as those in evidence at the first game. Woman Arrives First. The first grandstand spectator to irrive was a woman. Long before a | n er appeared on the field she took at in the open section of the big stand and raised a purple umbrella to shield her from the bliste £ the sun. In spite of the dilatory tactics of the crowd there was no apprehension | the attendance would fall far | siiort of the 42,000 more or less who | can be crowded into the base ball | plant. | The Yankees' hospital list grew overnight. Tony Lazzeri bobbed up | with a badly sprained wrist suffered | in yesterday’'s game when he made | a_great play In starting a double | play. His wrist was hurt as he tagged | Grantham diving into second. How- ever, the injury applies only to his left wrist and he was prepared to carry his bandages into the game. Mark Koenig also shaken up in erd game but reported fairly it today. Herh Pennock, star Yankee outhpaw, was well on the way to recovery from a wounded knee, caused hy a line drive in bhatting practice | hefore the series opened. Waite Hoyt and Joe Dugan of the Yankees had their satisfaction at winning the first game dimmed by the events of the night when robbers entered their rcom and took away $400 of thelr money. After batting practice Tony Lazzeri | complained that his injured wrist was ring rays | and it seemed likely that Ray Moore- | hart would start the game at second | base for the Yankees. The Austin| College hoy was ready to assume the responsibility of understudying for Lazzerl and seemed enthusiastic at the prospect. Final decision, how- ever, awaited infleld practice. No other changes in the line-ups as announced by the opposing managers were in prospect. Youth “Crashes” Gate When the Pirates went out for hit- ting practice, Emil Yde, a left-hander, aid the pitching. This was not taken as an indication that the Pirate board | of strategy @id not believe Manager Miller Huggins of the Yankees when he said that he would pitch Pipgras, a right-hander. ~ All the Pirate right- handers but Dawson, are starting pitchers, and Dawson did his practice pitching_ chore yesterday, so a south- paw had to serve. The hot sun drove the band into the | hade, and the early music was ren- | the right fleld wall. There was a flurry of excitement | when a youth “crashed the gate” and | lost himself in the crowd after out- | footing two ushers and a policeman. The Pirates between times at bat told of their confidence that they would be able to even the series hy winning the second game. “It will be | a_ different * story today, declared “Pie” Traynor. The autograph hunters had better luck today, and the players of both | clubs were busy signing their names to a variety of souvenirs. The Pirates hit many sharp drives e — | such work and could be depended upon | to_keep it going. i King Albert of Belgium yesterday | transmitted o the Red Cross his | “warm_ appreciation” of services ren. | dered his country during the war and | thereafter. His wishes were trans. | mitted to the convention by cable through Willam B, Fortune, chair- man of the Indianapolis Chapter, who Palace in Brussels. Col. Droudt, vice chairman of the League of Red Cross Societies ani vice chairman of the German Red Cross, also cabled his best wishes to| the convention. The following wire was received from I. O.

Because my State is num- bered among those so efficiently and generously served. Its services have heen a complete victory over the greatest peace-time disaster in the history of our Nation.” At round-table meeting on war service conducted vyesterday after- noon, Don C.

The work and contributions of the American Red Cross in foreign coun- tries has been ope of the strongest factors in convincing the world of the good intentions of the United States, in the opinion of Col.

Bicknell declared that Americans through the Red| Cross have bullt up a reputation of | sympathetic understanding for other | peoples and a notable evidence of | charity ! A by-product of this co-operation, | he declared, has been the promotion of international peace. | Dr. George E. Vincent, president of | {the Rockefeller Foundation, said that | world peace can be achieved only by | Ithe peoples striving together in com- | mon purpose. “I have little faith in these frontal | mttacks on peace,” said Dr. Vincent. | Definite objectives for the goal of | ‘peace and conventions to promote | lgood will are composed for the most [part of wasted energy.

PACTS URGED BY BRITISH LABOR Cut in Naval Armaments, Control of Seas and Out- lawing of War Demanded. By the Associated Press. BLACKPOOL, Englang. October 6.— The Labor party today called upon the Baldwin government to reopen nego- tiations with the United States with a view to settlement of oustanding volitical quesions between them, in- uding drastic reduction in naval armaments, control of the seas in time of war and the conclusion of a treaty outlawing war between the two | Peoples. The call was Inciuded in the foreign conference here, trading relations with Russia on the bhasis of a reciprocal recognition of non-interference with each other’s af- faire also was demanded in the reso- lution. Ramsay Macdonald, former Labor premier, while favoring this demand, said that Russia had taken no effec- tive steps to get into neighborly com. munion with the states of Europe. “Until the Russian government makes its relationship with the Third Internationale quite clear, that desir- able step can never be taken,” Mr. Macdonald asserted. He added that he was for a friendly policy toward Russia, but for a firm pol. and would say to his Russian colleagues: *You must play the game and yourselves abandon imperialistic ideas. —_— U. S.

The convention committee, of which Mr. Hoover is the head. will meet to- morrow morning to begin work on the preliminary phases of the convention, which will supplant the international agreement drawn up in London in 1912, This committee also probably will decide whether the conference will deul with problems affecting the vari- ous governments as communicating agencies or whether they will be con- fined to problems affecting them only as governments. The United States is leader of a minority group of nations favoring the latter course. Other Appointments Made. Other committee appointments made this morning follow: Mobile and spe- cial service regulations, chairman, O. Arendt of Germany; vice chairman, Capt. Frederico Villar of Brazil.

Those committees will report the first results of their sessions to the whole conference at a nd plenary session, which is expected to be called by Secretary Hoover tomor- row or Saturday. The first plenary sesgion vesterday afternoon cleared up several preliminary problems, in- cluding that of the official language of the conference, but left a much disputed question, that of voting power, for a later meeting. It was agreed that the debates shonla be in knglish as well as French, although the latter tongue was adopted as the official language of the conference, and its final find- ings will be in French. This decision means that when de- hates are carried on in French they will be translated into English; at the same time it will be proper to discuss questions in English, provisions being made for their translation into French upon request. French was the offi- cal language of the London conferenc in 1912 and is regarded as the inter national tongue. The controverted question of voting power was avoided since all motions were carried practically unanimously and no record vote was taken on any subject. As soon as the necessity for a record vote arises in a plenary ses- sion the question will automatically come to the front and the conference will have to decide on the claims of Japan. Ttaly, Germany and other countries. There is no dispute as to voting power in committee meetings since each country has only one vote.

A thorough study of the mass of data submitted in the interest of the various sites recommended for the new farmers’ produce market, will be | started by the District Commissioners | immediately following the public hear- ings on the subject scheduled to con- clude this afternoon with a brief re- Aside from the stenographic report of the proceedings, the Commissioners have a voluminous collection = of briefs, charts and maps and plates to consider in connection with their study. and it was indicated that con- siderable time would be required to compare the merits of the proposed sites as outlined by their respective proponents and to make a definite se- lection. Will Digest Arguments. Because of the tremendous arnount of work attached to this study. the Commissioners are planning to de- tail one official, probably an assistant Engineer Commissioner, to epitomize the arguments advanced by the sup- porters of the different sites, in or- der to relieve them of this detail and thus facilitate their final decision. Commissioner Proctor L. Dougherty emphasized that the problem confront- & the Commissioners over the relo- cation of the Farmers' Market Is an exceedingly difficult one, requiring ex- tensive and mature consideration. The selection of a sit for the Farmers' Market, he pointed out, is just one of the factors entering into the problem, as the one chosen should be available as a general food collection and gen- eral distribution centeh, accessible to both producers and consumers, Debate on Location. It was indicated today that the controversy over the r the Farmers' Produce Ma rowing to the question of whether it shall be north or south of Pennsyl- vania avenue. Farmers from Mont- gomery County and Prince Georges County, Md,, for the most part, favor one of the three sites proposed in the northern section of the city, while farmers from Fairfax County, Va., and other parts of that State south or southwest of Washington, and trom southern Maryland, prefer a water front site in Southwest Wash- ington, Business men and citizens' associ- ations are divided on the question. Three locations have been proposed north of Pennsylvania avenue—the mideity site, on the square bounded by Fourth, Fifth, K and L streets rorthwest: the Eckington site, west of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tracks, and the Patterson site, east of those tracks. Each of these sites has its supporters, but they all agree in asking that the market be placed north of Pennsylvania avenue. Several Montgomery County farm ers declared yesterday at the hearing before the Commissionehs that it would be a great inconvenience to have to trave the congested part of the city on their way to market. Similar reasons were advanced by farmers to the south against a market in the northern scction. The fact that the Fish Market, wholesale ment houses and cold storage facilities al- ready exist south of Pennsylvania avenue was urged in favor of that section; while others contended that it would be ridiculous to put the market So far from the center of the city where the retail buyers are to_be found in largest numbers. The Pennsvivania Railroad and Southern Railway favored the South- west site. while the Baltimore & Ohjo_TRailroad favors a location in the Northwest or Northeast. The two former roads have their freight vards In the Southwest, while the latter has its yvards in the northern part of the city. I.. J. Harrison of Suitland, Md., who has a farm of 156 acres devoted to the raising of green vegetables for the ‘Washington market, announced that he spoke for the farmers of the Dis- trict, Maryland and many from Virginia. “We have indorsed the mid-city plan,” said Mr. Harrison, “because it is already a market center. If you put the farmers’ market some place away from the general retail business it will mean the destruction of farm- ers’ business in Washington. I have decided that farmers are usually re- garded as geese, only good to be picked, and I am ready to be picked. But, I want to make it clear what the result will be. “We ask for some central place where we can serve the people. If we do not have such a place vou will be throwing your money away. The proponents of the FEckington gite, led by Dr. T. B. Symons, director of the Univessity of Maryland exten- sion service, and a member of a com- mittee which made an exhaustive study of the market situation, began their arguments when the Commis- sioners concluded consideration of the case of the mid-city group. This site is bounded by O and P streets, North Capitol, New York Avenue and First street. At the outset Dr. Symons pointed out that a careful study of the market situation had convinced his commit- tee that the FEckington site would be far more satisfactory, more logical and more convenient for the welfare of the city as a whole than any of the other sites proposed. The appraised value of the property. which is 700 feet long and 354 feet wide, Dr. Symons said, amounts to $443,000. J. W. Jones, president of the Mont- gomery County Farm Burcau, said that 98 or 100 per cent of the farmers in that section were in favor of the Jekington site, If the Farmers' Mar- ket were moved into the southwest section he thought the Montgomery County farmers would have to go out of the business of raising produce for the Washington market or else sell through middlemen, with a conse. quent higher price to the consumer. H. Tucker, who has a truck farm near said he had canvassed truck gardeners in that section and found only one who was in favor of the Farmers' Market for the south- west. He advocated the Eckington site. This site was also favored by Judge E. W. Sheppard of Berwyn, Md,, representing the Vansville Farm- ers' Club, and by Joseph Blandford of Brandywine, Md., past master of 1927. SPENCERPOLLARD 1S CADET GOLONEL 16-Year-Old Central High School Student Named to Command Group. Spencer 1. Pollard, 16 vears old, of Central High School, will be colonel in command of the Washington High | School Cadet Corps for the year 192829 through action taken by the | Board of ¥ducation at a regular meet- | ing held yvesterday afternoon. The | | board approved the appointment "'i | Pollard, which was made by Col. Wal- | | tace M. Craigle, professor of military | sclence and tactics in the school | fystem. Pollard 1s the son of Mr. and Mrs. | Frank D. Pollard, 4131 New Hamp- shire avenue. e will be 17 years old In December. This is the second consecutive year that the honor of | furnishing the cadet colonel has fallen | to Central. Last vear Soloman | Alpher was named colonel from Cen. | tral. heing the youngest colonel ever named. An Outstanding Student. Alvin Miller, principal of Central High hool, stated today that Pol- lard deserved the honor, as he is not | only an outstanding cadet officer. but | also an outstanding student. Pollard was a sergeant in the cadet corps last year. Five students were advanced to the rank of lieutenant colonel in command of cadet regimental units by hoard's action. They are William R. Hanback of Central High, C. 2 Schultz of McKinley; William T. Mat | thews of Eastern: William Bull of Western and Elmer Stokes of Arm- strong. Dr. Frank W, Ballou reported to the board yesterday that the enrollment on the tenth day of school this year was 70,236, as compared with 68,483 on the same day last year, or an in- crease of 1,773. It is now certain that the present vear will break all pre- vious school enroliment records. Appeal Turned Down. The board adopted the recommenda- tion of Dr. H. B. Learned, chairman of the committee on buildings and grounds, that $3,500 be appropriated for the moving of three portable schools to the Grant road site to help relieve the congestion prevailing at the E. V. Brown School. Acting upon the petition of three | Armetrong ~ High School girls, the hoard®vesterday voted to open instruc- tion in automobile mechanics to girl students whenever a group of 20 or more make application for admission | to_such a class. Roy L. Neuhauser was appointed member at large on the advisory com- mittee for the Central Community Center upon the recommendation of Dr. Ballou.
