Lieut. W. V. Davis, naval officer of San Diego, who accompanied Mr. Goebel on his flight as navigator, has Dbeen married since the event, the speaker said. Mr. Goebel expressed satisfaction that the country is get- ting away from the old wartime equipment, and declared that he had learned much abput weather condi tions and landing fields during his air tour over the country that ha brought him to Washington. * He added that he is “getting away from the stunting game and on a commetgial basis.” Goebel was a stunt flyer in:Hollywood, Calif. Victor S. K. Houston, Delegate-elect from Hawaii, paid high tribute to Goebel during the luacheon, as did Capt. Emory 8. Land, assistant chief of the Bureau of Aeromautics, Navy Department. Capt.

Lieut. John Harding, jr., Army world fiyer, delivered a brief greeting to his flying colleague, and F. Trubee Davison, Assistant Secretary of War for Aeronautics, said the Army was proud of Goebel, who is a Reserve offi- cer. The flight, Mr. Davison said, demonstrated what American ma- chines and engines can do when handled by courageous and competent men, but expressed surprise that the flights across the Pacific are not bet- ter appreciated, particularly the navi- gation_ difficulties. Fred Hamlin of Hollywood, Calif., former newspaper man, who is accom- panying Goebel, in a brief address said the best tribute he could pay his friend was to term him “a regular tellow.” 3 Louis Ludlow, president of the Na- tional Press Club, presided and intro- duced the speakers, after payving high tribute to Goebel's worth, both as a man and as an aviator. enl Oppose Closing Telegraph Office. 8pecial Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, October 29.—Notice that the Western Union Telegraph Co. will close its office at Dickerson, Mont- gomery County, has raised protests from merchants and residents there. The Public Service Commission has been told the town has no other tele- graph service and closing of the West- ern Union office would leave it with- out means of transacting business, much of which is done by telegraph. "MUSI1C VIOLIN-PIANO RECITAL. A recital of violin and piano music was presented last night at the Roose- velt Hotel in an interesting fashion by professional artists, who are familiar especially for their associations with musical activities in Baltimore, but are mot so generally well known here. J. C. van Hulsteyn, concert master of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and associated with the Peabody Con- servatory of Music, though personally known by many iocal musicians, is just now establishing a Washington studio and making his residence in this city. On the program with Mr. van Hul- steyn last night were Alexander Skla- revski, pianist, who was graduated from the Imperial Conservatory of Petrograd and has studied under Bu- soni and Wurmser; Mrs. van Hulsteyn, Wwho played the one selection for two violins with her hushand, and Howard Thatcher, an excellent accompanist, who is also a member of the Peabody Conservatory staff, Mr. van Hul gram with ' artini’s “Sonata for Violin.” Later he playe by Goldmark the adagio from “The 11th Concerto” of Spohr; ‘Zortzico,” by s ; the adagio from “The 4th temps, and “Var by the same Hulsteyn pl. cut phrasing of Vieux- ations in D Minor,” composer. Mr. van with authority, clean - d. at times, a liquid singing tone to his bow. The f: nating variations of the last number were filled with gay color and charm- ing delicacy. In’ this selection he seemed to entirely forget the peda- gogical. The Spohr adagio also was real poesy of violin playing. In the adagio from Moor for Two Violins,” played by Mr. and Mrs. van Hulsieyn, the facil2 bow and delightful personality cf Gwen- dolyn van Hulsteyn captured her audience, which filled the small ball- room and even sat partly in the hall beyond. The playing of this number was a rather ditlicult feat well dope. Although Mr. van Hulsteyn stayed unreservedly with the c his program, Mr. Goldm being one of that composer’s more conservative works, the audienc: seemed quite grateful to Mr, Skla 8ki for the more modern “In the vent” of Borodine, which he played with fine empk: of the tone-color possibilities of this work.

Guli had no revolver with him. He could not have committed suicide at the last minute, as some one re- ported. A huge whirlpool inguifed the ship in the last moment, and that was all there was to it. My last sight of Capt. Guli showed him clinging to the rail. I belisve he sank with the ship he loved, tco tired by “the work of the preceding four hours to attempt to swim. He was too brave a man to ask for place in the Loats. He fought to the last, giving his life that others might be saved. The Alhena came alongside the Mal- fada at 5:15 in the afternoon. It was 9:47 when the whirlpool told us that all was over. I believe that the large loss of life was due to the fact that the passen- z were of many nationalities. here were many Syrians, Hungarians and Czechoslovakians aboard. They ould not understand either what had - | happened -or the orders of the officers. It is humanly impossible to save all of a very large company of emigrants undr such circumstances, and, this heing 80, I am not surprised that the loss of life was so great, but that it was so little, Has Hope for Others. d Most of those who died were cabin enzers, who refused to leave the it either through bravery or igno- ce of the true state of things. 1 um thankful that not more than 300 were lost. This number may be re- duced when all of the freight boats which aided in the rescue work reach port and a check is made. I landed at Rio, my clothes black with dirt and soot, my mind filled with the tragedy. Capt. Smolena of the Alhena did all that he could to make us comfortable, but after my experi- ence I could not sleep nor eat. The spectacle of hundreds of dying pas- sengers and the sinking of the ship on which I spent so many years was resh in my mind. I salute Capt. Smolena, to whom so many of us owe our lives. I shall stay in Rio 10 days and then return to Ttaly on the Ducca Abru: I_do not think I shall go to sea again. If I do, I shall never again be the man that wailed on the Mafalda.
