e s o A THE J | Smeeeerers - e 0 MBRIDE PREDICTS " DEFEAT OF SWITH Cheers Greet Address at Mass Meeting of Citizens’ Serv- ice Association. Defeat of Gov. Al Smith, should he | be nominated for the presidency, was predicted by Dr. F. Scott McBride, gen- eral superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of America. in an address ves- terday afternoon at a mass meeting of | the Citirent’ Service Association in the First Congregational Church. Cheers from the sudience of 700 men and women greeted the prediction of Gov. Smith's fate, which followed the Anti-Saloon leader's rehearsal of the recent dry victories in Chicago and De- troit, in the last of which John W. Smith, running on a wet ticket, was defeated for mayor of the city. “The political disaster suffered by John W Smith of Detroit will be vis- ited by the American people upon other members ot the Smith family,” Dr. Mec- Bride declared. Rathbone Predicts Nomination. The nomination of Gov. Smith \'ui declared probable by Representative Rathbone of Tllinols, who said that “in | all probability there' will be one candi- date for President whose chance for | suceess will depend on his long record of opposition to prohibition and the eighteenth amendment.” Mr. Rathbone | daclared that “at least one great party | must come forward in its national plat- | form and insert a plank in favor of | more enforcement of prohibition.” Dr. McBride declared that Washing- ton will have more to do with settling the prohibition question than any other | ¢ity in the country. ! “The United States begins at Wash- | fngton.” he said. “Washington is the Nation's heart. More than any other city it pumps the blood of the Nation | to the remotest parts of the country. No other city of the Nation speaks so positively to us_concerning national matters as does Washington.” \ Besides being the news center of the country. he declared that Washington | bas the full power of Congress behind its actions. “Congress is dry. at least 3-to-1 dry in both House and Senate.” he added. “There is no excuse if Con- | gress fails to meke good on prohibition | in the District.” | | Future Fight in Cities. | The future fight for dry law enforce- | ment, Dr. McBride declared. must be won | in the cities. adding there is a larger | lation in seven city areas than on all the farms -of the country. Fifteen vears from now. he predicted, the cities will be in control. | ‘The session opened with a report ome| the vear's work of the Citizens' Service Association ty Dr. W. S. Abernethy, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church. Dr. Abernethy declared that as a re- sult of the association’s activities “larger fines and longer jail sentences” are 3 rule in Washington today. He praised Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, su- perintendent of police, for his co-opera- | tion with the association, but declared | that its workers have been confronted | with an apathy on the part of the| ;:nh‘urch people that has been “estound- Defended Economically. Mr. Rathbone made a vigorous eco- nomic defense of prohibition, declaring the bank deposits of workers are larger than ever before in history. “Jt has been the verdiet of every delegation from other lands, so far as 1 am advised.” he added, “that the mar- | velous and unprecedented prosperity of | the United States is due in a very con- | siderable measure to prohibition. “Every sutomobile upon our city streets is an argument for prohibition,” | he said. The concluding address was made by Representative Lowrey of Mississippi, who warned that “disregard for the law must result in failure, in n ruin” Others who U.; Mrs. Davis W. Lum M. wW.

Three occupants of the Army bomb- ing plane which was forced down en route from Langley Field, Va,, to Wash- ington Friday afternoon miraculously escaped death when the starboard Lib- erty engine exploded, it was learned today. ‘The plane, carrying Col. Jackson Mor- ris of the Army general staff as pas- senger, Lieut. W. O. Bunge and a me- chanic whose name could not be learned, made a forced landing near Mount Holly, about 20 miles below Washington. As the engine exploded, blowing off 8 of the 12 cylin , & plece of metal shot through the cockpit, cut a control wire and glanced off Col. Morris’s shoulder. Other parts of the flying metal riddled the cockplt, cov- ering and fabric on the plane. Lieut. Bunge as soon as the explosion occurred closed the switch connected with the starboard engine and skillfully piloted tha rhm: to a landing in a fleld below. Col. Morris walked overland, obtalned transportation and returned to Washington, while the pilot and mechanic stayed with their ship. Saturday morning, while piloting P. Truebee Davison, Assistant Secretary of War for Aeronautics to Washington from the Langley Field aero maneuvers, Capt. Ira C. Eaker noticed the plane in the fleld. and having had experience a few minutes before with an overheated engine, and belleving he was short of oil, made a landing aloneside in hopes of obtaining some additional lubricant. Capt. Eaker, who is waging a vigorous campaign against further continued use of the obsolete Liberty engine, pro- nounced the accident as being just what Army airmen can expect as long as they must fly with these antiquated power plants. He obtained photographs of the wrecked engine at the time. The cause of the explosion was laid originally to the loss of the propeller, which flew off without warning. It was believed a thrust bearing carried away, causing the explosion.
