With the Allen at the navy vard will be the active destroyer Reid, of the Atlantic Scouting Fleet, now steaming here from Charleston, S. C. She replaces the destroyer Goff, which had been assigned originally here for the day's activities, but was recalled because of a slight accident on the target range last week. The Allen is one of the pre-war type of destroyers, while the Reid is one of the war-de- signed type, popularly known in the Navy as a “flush-decker.” The presidential yacht AL and the Secretary of the Navy's offi- cial yacht, the Sylph, also will be open to inspection, as will be many tugs and small boats used by the Navy.

By the Assoclated Press. SI Rumania, October 2! chest royal baby in the world, Michael, who draws a salary of $1,- 000,000 a year for serving as King of Rumania, today celebrated his sixth birthday. eyed boy, however, pre- to his throne; his Amer- ican kite to his kingdom. “Mickey,” according to Princess Helen, his mother, has been a good boy during the past year: so he has received many birthday presents from his family and relatives. He received also several touching remembrances from small boys and girls in the “nited States, whom he calls his fairy cousins.” ~The tiny king has never met these American tots, but they have heard of the sad, lonely life he leads because his father, for- mer Crown Prince Carol, deserted him, and with their kind birthday gifts they sent messages of sympathy, friendship and encouragement. L~ves His Playthings. Princess tielen has a hard time training her boy to be a king, because he loves his playthings and three lit- tle American playmates and his big brown spaniel more than he does his lessons and his catechism. He hates even to learn his A B C's. His great- est joy in life, and his mother's great- st ‘bane, is his big American_Kite, which William S. Culberson, United | States Ambassador to Rumania, gave him. Mr. Culberson’s children are often seen romping with Michael in the garden of the American legation. “Mickey” calls his kite his “Lind- bergh fiver,” and he sends it soaring into the heavens on every occasion. He sometimes ties the cord of his kite to the tail of his dog, Brown Mumbo, and then ro: with laughter as the wind-driven r"’ pulls the big spaniel along the ground. The dog enjoys the fun, too, for he barks rap- turously while he races over the lawn with his master and his kite, Not long ago, when the little King down at the seashore in Con- stanza, his glant kite, mounting into the sky, almost pulled “Mickey” into the sea, the wind was so strong. Only the timely arrival of Robert R. Pater- secretary of the American lega- ved the King and the kite. ‘Mickey" is just the same as any lit- tla American boy or girl of 6. He wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth—for his mother is poor—nor does he wear any crown. Moreover, he is really an orphan, for his father de- aves he is never coming back to him or his mother. Because of his father’s desertion Michael fell heir to the king- dom of 16,000,000 people, the $1,000,000 annual income and a dozen marble palaces and castles. A Typical Child. Michael dresses like any American child of his age; wears a bib and tuck- er, eats oatmeal and milk, buckwheat cakes, cookies, lolly-pops, apple-on-the- stick, and steals jam from the cup- board when his mother isn’t looking. Also, like little boys and girls who are not kings or queens, Michael goes to bed early, says his prayers every night and morning, gets up at 6, helps his mother with breakfast, goes to school, runs errands and answers the telephone. When he is an extra good boy, his mother gives him a nickel, a piece of apple pie, or allows him to play an additional hour in the street. King Michael has no golden throne- chair yet, because he isn't old enough. His only “throne” is his American high chair, and he is get- ting to be too big a boy for this. All of the diminutive monarch’s sub- Jects address him as “your majesty,” which in his boyish innocence he can- not understand. “Why have they changed my ' name?’ he constantly ks his mother, who still calls him “Baby.” He would much rather be called plain “Mickey” than “Majesty.” INSURANCE LOSS FAGES 2,000 HERE ./$1,608,000 Impairment Is Found in Assets of At- lanta Company.

The Supreme Court yesterday asked for the entire record in the case egainst John P. Donnelly, formerly Federal prohibition director of Ne- vada, who was convicted in the Fed- era] Court for Nevada on the charge of having failed to report to the United States attorney an alleged violation of the prohibition law by James A.

ELECTRIC RATES UPHELD. St. Louis Power Co. Wins Before Supreme Court. The Washington University, the St. Louis Brewing Association, the Wain- wright Real Estate Co. and the Hotel Statler Co. failed In the Supreme however, Mr. Baldwin said, to have MAGARTHUR GIVEN POST IN MANILA 3d Corps Commandant to Be Transferred to the Philippines. Maj. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, com- manding the 3d Corps Area, with station at Baltimore, is scheduled for early transfer to the command of the Philippine Department, with station at Manila, as the relief of Maj. Gen. Fred W. Sladen, who has held that command for the past two years. The change will take place next Spring on the expiration of Gen, Sladen’s tour of foreign service. Gen. MacArthur already has served a term the National Benefit Insurance Co. take over the impairment, which would insure the policy holders that policies would be paid in full at death. All of the policy holders in the District, he pointed out, are colored, and they carry insurance amounting to approxi- mately $2,500,000. The deficiency in the Atlanta com- pany’s assets, Mr. Baldwin explained, existed for several years before it wa discovered. In the meantime, the com- pany, he said, had reinsured its busi- ness with the Southern Insurance Co. of Nashville. and this company subse- quently sold the business to the Standard Life Insurance Co. of Eureka Springs, Ark. The latter company then reinsured the business with the Benefit Life Insurance Co. of Wash- ington, and this reinsurance agree- ment was approved by the Superior Court of Fulton County, Ga., March 16 of this vear. Prior to the approval of the reinsur- ance agreement by the Georgia court, Mr. Baldwin said, an examination was made of the affairs of the Standard Company of Atlanta by the insurance department of the District, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Alabama and the im- pairment in assets discovered. As a result the Georgia eourt ordered a lien placed against each policy equal to two-thirds of the total reserve of each policy. ‘The negotiations now under way to have the National Co. take over the impaired assets are being conducted by Frank M. Speakman of Philadel- phia and Mortimer Smith, actuary of the Southern Insurance Co., at request of Mr. Baldwin. The Standard Life Insurance Co. of Atlanta, Mr. Baldwin said, has ap- proximately $25,000,000 in insurance ig force in 13 States and the Dis- thiet. e AUTO TAG CASES 10 BE CONTINUED Gov.

STAR, WASHINGTO oTH AND K SITE URGED FOR MARKET Mid-City Citizens’ Body Asks D. C. to Study Merits of Location. Advocates of the mideity location for the new Farmers’ Produce Market have submitted to the District Com- missioners a brief to supplement their verbal arguments at the public hear- ing October 5 and 6 in support of the Fifth and K streets site. The brief bore the signature of A. J. Driscoll, president of the Mid-City Citizens’ As- sociation, and emphasized advantages of the location in comparison with the other proposed sites. The central location, with its ample street car and parking facilities, its proximity to the New York avenue freight yards and the fact that it is already a well known market center are stressed in the brief. *So far as we are able to ascertain,” it said, “it has been the custom of all cities to locate markets as near the center of population as possible. For example, we cite Baltimore, which is noted for its wonderful Lexington Market, far removed from both whart and railroad stations, but controlling a wonderful trade six days in each week, due to its convenient location to patrons. Greater Business. “And this notwithstanding the fact that there is daily brought to Light street Wharf at Baltimore many more tons of perishable produce and vegetables than are reaching Wash- ington by the same methods. “In urging Fifth and K streets as a market site, we do $o with a strong conviction of having the interest of the market merchant equally gt heart as that of his customer. disputed fact that the great ambition of every merchant is to locate his business as conveniently to his cus. tomer as possible to encourage trad. ing and dealing with the least pos. sible expense or trouble. In fact, what we aim to do is to bring the market to the people.” The brief also pointed out that 60 retail stores, exclusive of chain stores, doing business at the Farmers' Mar- ket, are located in the northwest sec- tion, 18 per cent in the northeast sec- tion, 8 per cent in the southwest sec- tion and 14 per cent in the southeast section. “It must be admitted,” the brief added, “that large markets lo- cated convenient to the great num- ber of retail stores would be miost de- sirable for many reasons.” Covell Studies Data. The brief, together with briefs sub- mitted by supporters of other pro- posed sites, are being studied by Maj. W. E. R. Covell, senior Assistant En- gineer Commissioner, who was di- rected by the Commissioners to draw up an outline of the advantages of each location for their consideration. ‘The Commissioners plan to make a selection before December 1, and sub- mit their recommendations to Cons gress soon after it convenes. DRISCOLL RE-ELECTED. Chosen Again by Mid-City Citizens’ Assoclation. A. J. Driscoll was re-elected presi- dent of the Mid-City Citizens' Associa- tion to serve his seventeenth consecu- tive term in that office at a_meeting of the association in the Thomson School last night. Miss Edith L. Gros- venor was elected vice president to succeed Dr. J. C. Buchanan, who de- clined nomination. All other officers were re-elected. They are: Maurice B, Salsbury, secretary; Max T. Pimes, treasurer; G. T. Bowman, financial secretary, and William H. Richardson and G. Howard Dunington, delegates l‘o the Federation of Citize: Associa- tions. ‘The assoclation voted disapproval of the proposal that the National Capi- tal Park“and Planning Commission borrow $10,000,000 from the United States Treasury for the purcha: land for park and playground devel- opment. A resolution also was adopted asking that a referendum vote be taken be- fore the Government acts toward the development of the Great Falls power project. The resolution fincluded a clause that if it finally is decided to go ahead with its development, th. Norris bill, calling for Federal con- trol of the project, be put in opera- tion. It was also voted to request the District Commissioners to take imme- diate action to stop the use of glaring lights on automobiles along well lighted streets. Evidence that the association in. ‘tends to carry on, through this year, its fight for the location of the Farm- ers’ Market at the proposed central lo- cation was furnished by Mr. Driscoll, the president. As a means of showing many of the farmers’ attitude in favor of that location rather than the pro- posed southwest site, Loran G. Har- rison, a farmer of Suitland, Md., spoke at the meeting upon invitation of M Driscoll. He presented to Mr. Dris- coll a letter addressed to the District Commissioners, whereby he (Mr. Har- rison) offered eight acres of his land at Sultland, Md., to be used for the market ih place of the proposed south- west site, in the event the latter is de- cided upon, The work of the Assoclated Charl- ties in the District of Columbla was described by Edwin §.

Itearing in mind that on her two previous aisappearances, the first one eight years ago, and the second last moath, she was found hidden clese to water, the searchers today, paid special attention to the territory ad- jacent t> tia banks of Rock Creek. ‘While the searchers were walking through the underbush of the park, members of Arlington Post, No. 139, of the American Legion, which has its headquarters in Clarendon, began an intensive search of the Virginia shore line of the Potomac from the Highway Bridge to the Key Bridge. In the event that the efforts of the bloodhound prove futile, and no more clues are forthcoming to the effect that the missing woman is in the vicin- ity of Rock Creek Park, the searching party will again visit the region about the Tidal Basin and will send details to beat through the woody areas near bridges spanning the Potomac, Rev. Mr. Forbush indicated. He plans to go to Baltimore this afternoon to at- tend the funeral of his father, Rev. William Byron Forbush, who died Sun- day in Philadelphia, Should develop- ments indicate that the search for his wife is nearing a successful conclu- sion, he will remain with the posse, he said at noon today. Anxfous to be on hand to atténd her, it ‘she is found, Dr. Harry A. Smith of Canandaigua, Mrs. Forbush’s per- sonal physician, is on his way here.

Ex-Service Men Aiding. About 25 ex-service men under the leadership of S. H. Yorkdale and other officlals of Ex-Service Men's League of Arlington County are conducting a systematic search of the county for Mrs, Forbush. The searching party, which consists of men familiar with every nook and corner of the county, assembled at the Rucker Building,in Clarendon, this morning and set out with a determination to comb the county for the missing woman. Several squads were formed and each was given a certain territory to cover, this being done to avoid crossing tracks. The entire day will be given over to the search. Dr. Forbush upon receiving word of the plans of the Virgnia citizens for co-operation in the search for ihs lost wife expressed himself as ex- tremely grateful. Robert E. Plymale, president of the Arlington County Civic Federation, {ssued an appeal to day to all of the civic organizations affliating with the federation to render all assistance possible to Dr. Forbush and the au- thorities of 'Washington. He suggest- ed to the association heads that tey form committees to act as searching parties in their respective communities. o WOMAN PAYS DOLLAR AS PRICE OF LIFE Mrs. Sue Bolen Surrenders Money to Intruder, Who Thought It Was All She Had.

An unidentified young col- ored man, who had spaded her garden last year, demanded money at her home today, she said, grabbing her by the hands and arms.

TUNNEY SAYS FIGHT PICTURES WERE CUT TO FAVOR DEMPSEY Champion Declares He Could Have Arisen at Count of Four; Plans Retirement in 1932 at BY ED VAN EVERY. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, October 25.—Gene Tunney will be completely through with the business of pugilism inside of five years. Until the heavyweight champion of the world has reached his thirty-fourth birthday he will pay strict attention to the perfecting of his physical and fistic equipment, shunning all stage or similar work of a title-commer- cializing nature. When he hangs up the gloves for all time the conqueror ot Jack Dempsey expects to be still in | possession of his pugilistic crown, a millionaire several times over and then free to devote his remaining years away from the limelight and to such purposes as he has planned for his future. In addition to the above decision which was imparted to the writer in an exclusive interview with the cham- pion, he also had some pertinent com- ment to make on his last match with Dempsey. Spurns Stage Contracts. Tunney gave it as his opinion that he could have got up at a count of four had it been necessary. He also intimated that the motion pictures of the fight as now being shown have been so arranged and cut as to make the former champion appear to the best possible advantage. “I shall leave for the Adiromdack Mountains on Sunday,” said the cham- pion, “and will spend very little time in the city from now on. When I next defend my title I'will be in bet- ter trim in every respect than ever before. “Never again will they get me in- volved in any more contracts for vaudeville or any work of that nature. I will do nothing that will interfere with my business of keeping myself in the finest of possible physical fit- ness. I have learned two lessons from my first year as champion. One is that sage work and that sort of thing is best left alone. Another is that you must never go into the ring with your passions aroused. “Anger over the unsportsmanlike tactics resorted to by Dempsey in his open letter attack and the fact that a dear friend stood to gain $50,000 on my winning by a knockout caused me to deviate somewhat from my unusual cold attack, which is necessary if one is to_have the requisite perfect com- mand of oneself. Could Have Risen Sooner. “But even though my anger resulted in flashes of carelesiness, I could have got up after T had been dropped by Dempsey even if the referce had count- ed so quickly that nine would only have been the equivalent to four, and no matter how quickly I would have been forced to zome up, I would still have been in better condition than Dempsey. “Isn't it a s‘range condition of af- fairs that when a man has been knocked out, 1s some of the oxperts claimed happened to me, nevertheless the man-kiling Dempsey, with 2 min- utes of the round left in which to finish ‘me, - could not move forward as quickly as I could move sideways and backward, am} isn't it even:more remarkable that of the 12 or 13 blows struck during the remaining 2 minutes of that round, all should have been landed by me? - “However, it is immaterial to me what they say or write about me or my contests. I will be ready to take on the best mun to be brought forward each year. £ will always do what I can to elevate the game while I have apything to do with it, and I know that the real public is with me. So they ¢'n tamper with the pictures or do anything else they want. Boxing has becn too goad to me for me to resent any little unpleasantness that crops up.

In the first fight with Dempsey I had to battle in vain to get the chance for the title in my own city. In the second fight I knew perfectly well that Rickard was partial to Dempsey.

Was it Dempsey that drew the more than a million :and a. half gate with Carpentier? Maybe the latter had something to do with the gate, and maybe Tunney had some- thing to'do with the fact that my'two matches with Dempsey drew far be- yond $3,000,000. “And still Rickard has the pictures play up Dempsey as best he can. Do the pictures, as now exhibited, show that every blow landed in the seventh round after I got up off the floor was struck by me? And how many such blows are actually shown? I have not seen the edition now being shown, but if you can find less than 12 or 15 punches being landed on Dempsey after I have been knocked down, then you may know that you are looking! on a film that has been tampered with. “However, I shall go on about my fistic affaira just me as before.

PUBLICIS FACING SHORTAGE OF COAL Bituminous Mine Suspensions on Large Scale Continue as Winter Approaches. ‘The Nation is moving into another ‘Winter with e coal mining suspension of major proportions looming in the background. Sixty thousand miners in the bi- tuminous fields of Pennsylvania, Ohio and parts of the.South are out on strike, with little prospect of a settle- ment in time to resume normal pro- duction in preparation for the Winter demands of industry. Yet lttle in- dustrial disturbance has been mani- fested in the face of the longest coal strike the Nation has ever ex- perienced. Bituminous production has been averaging 10,000,000 tons a week for many weeks, indicating an output for the year of something more- than 500,000,000 tons against a normal con- sumption of 550,000,000 tons. Government Watching Situation. The Government has made no move to end the strike of bituminous miners, but {s watching the situation closely in the hope that its mediators will be able to step in and break a deadlock that has existed since early last April. Meanwhile bituminous coal reserves, estimated at something in excess of 90,000,000 tons last May, have been steadily diminishing, ac- cording to the latest available Govern- ment figures. Several thousand miners in the tightly knit central competitive fleld under the pressure of need for work have gone back to the mines at the o.d wage scale, satisfled, until next April at least, when another attempt will be made to secure a national wage agree- ment in the soft eoal flelds. The strike has had comparatively. no.effect on, the ?flce olt1 b}:tum!nous cbal in ‘Washing- on, which gets most of jts soft.coal (roth the fields of West iisinis: where the miners’ uplon has.net been able to_sécdre foothold. Y The West Virginia price, with the fleld wide open for heavy use of West Virginia coals,: has- net “been appre- ciably raised and' soft eoal ‘today is being -laid down ‘in ‘Washingtori at about the same price as last year. So calm has tha situation been all through the Sufimer as fegafds soft coal production and delivery that few have realized a big coal strike has been in progress. Full realization may never come, for th> miners in central and western Pennsylvaria are report- ed about ready to sign up on the basis of the old wage until April 1 next, when a new coal year begins. o WASHINGTONIAN ROBBED.

DRY OFFICER ACCUSED’ BY GIRL, 9, RESIGNS Robinson, Chief Investigator, Quits After Second Arrest on Statutory Charges. Facing two statutory charges pre ferred by the parents of a 9-year-ol! girl, Willlam B. Robinson, 50 year: old, of 234 Willew avenue, Takomn Park, Md., resigned as chief investi gator of the Federal Prohibition By- ¢ reau and the resignation was accepted this morning. Robinson will face the charges Monday morning in the Rock- ville Police Court. He was arresteq for the second time yesterday evening by Monigomery County police on a second warrant sworn out by the parents of the girl and released on $5,000 bond. He was first arrested Sunday morn- ing and released by Justice of the Peace Samuel Kyle of Takoma Park, on $1,000 bond. The increase in the amount of the bond was thought necessary by State's Attorney Robert Peter, jr., upon the filing of -the sec- ond charge, which alleges a similar though not identical offense. The law of Maryland sets a maximum penalty, of 10 years’ imprisonment or a fine off $1,000 for each of the.alleged crimes. Sergt, Guy Jories of the Mont- gomery County police stated that Rob- inson, when questioned by the police, denied the charges. Robinson and the father of the girl are said to have been close friends. Both charges are based on statements made by the girl. Mr. Robinson has been in the Gov- ernment for 28 years. He started in the Railway Mail Service, was made a post office inspector, and. in 1926 be- came assistant postmaster at Colum- bus, Ohio, " In 1921 he was appointed to the Intelligence Unit, Internal Revenue Bureau, in which he was promoted until he reached the posi- tion of chief of agents operating out of Washington. He was recently transferred to the Bureau of Prohibi- tion, where he took over the responsi- bie post of ehief investigator. ’ J. L. Acuff, his assistant, today was appointed chief investigator tempo- rarfly. LAUREL ENTRIES ' FOR TOMORROW. FIRST .RACE—Purse, $2,000: r‘r»‘on\ll‘(ns' steeplechage: 4-year-olds and up: a! - miles.
