In the front rode a squadron or motoreycle police, escort- g the hal, Sergt. A Bargagni, and Odell S. Smith, chairmar of the iz committee. A page from the glamourous day: the past, when volunteers of the Na- tional Capital fought fires with hand pumps and buckets, was furnished by the venerable hand-pumper of the old Columbia Company, entered at the fore- front of the procession under auspices of the Association of Oldest Inhabilants of the District of Columbia. The old wagon was all aglitter in gilt and red. This engine was the first piece of ap- paratus used after the abolition of the volunteer companies in Washington. Next came Barney. Gene and Tom. the last of Washington's old firehorses, now pastured for the remainder of their days at Blue Plains. They were hitched to one of the few remaining horse- drawn steam engines, long since dis- carded as reqular equipment. The three steeds displayed a touch of the same old spirit that dashed to fires many years ago.

Three big green engines from Balti- more led the long line of apparatus from Maryland. They were the same ble 40-mile run to the Capital in the early morning hours last January during the height of the wave of incendiarism which was terrorizing the city. They had come back to receive from a grateful citizenry the well deserved acclaim of the Na tional Capital. They were applauded from one end of the Avenue to the other. The volunteer companies from Mary- land made a resplendent appearance. Their equipment was of the most mod- ern design, and many of their engines were as large and formidable looking |as those of their city cousins.

Frederick had one of the most attractive groups in the procession.

CANADIAN DIPLOMAT TO LEAVE CAPITAL Laurent Beaudry Will Return to Take New Post With Dominion. By the Associated Press OTTAWA, Ontario, September 4 -—Laurent Beaudry, first secretary to the Canadian legation at Washington, will return to Ottawa to assume another governmental position, it is learned here He is expected in Ottawa in about 10 days. The recall Laurent Beaudry. Canadian legation here. to assume an- other position under his government at Ottawa, where the change was re- ported today, is a source of regret in official and diplomatic circles here, de- spite, the fact that the change brings about a promotion. Mr. Beaudry has been elevated to the post of counselor of the Department of External Affairs, trom Washington of which has charge of the Dominion's | growing forcign affairs. Since coming to Washington the members of the staff of Canada's first foreign mission, Mr. Beaudry has been of valuable assistance to Minister Vincent Massey in the pioneer work of organizing and whipping into shape the new legation. The commercial two nations has resulted in an enormous amount of work for the legation and numerous questions arising in the affairs of the two countries has brought the Cana- dian legation to the fore as one of th busiest foreign missions in Washington With the cxtension of Canada’s for- elgn service to France and Japan, with Ministers in those countries in addi- tion to Washington, the Dominion forelgn service has assumed an im- portant part of Canada's governmental | service. It is felt that Mr. Beaudry’s experi- ence at Washington has well qualfied him for the post he is to assume at Ottawa in assisting in directing the destinies of Canada’s foreign afTairs Formerly a Quebec journalist, Mr. Beau- dry has been popular with his col- leagues in the Washington diplomatic circles and with American Govern- ment officials.

BY J. RUSSELL YOU: 8taft Correspondent of The S SUPERIOR, Wis., September 4.— Senator Thomas D. Schall, Republican, | of Minnesota, who recently announced | that he could not support Herbert Hoover for President because of his difference toward agricuiture, has climb= ed aboard the Hoover band wagon and i predicting his election in November. This change of heart on Senator Schall's part was announced by him today in the corridor just outside the door to the President’s office, where he had just been for a long conference with the Executive. Whether or not the blind Senator's talk with Mr. Coolidge was responsible }for his shift was not learned, but there is reason to know that the President and he went into the political situation thoroughly. It is needless to say that Senator Schall’s announcement came as a sur- | price. He stated that he had been & trifie lukewarm toward Hoover because | of the latter's failure to be moye defi- nite in his treatment of agricultural relief in his acceptance speech. and because of the farm plan in the Repub- lican platform. He stated that he never announced that he would oppose Mr. | Hoover; he was merely not enthusiastic. However, since thinking the matter over |and realizing that the Democrats have | nothing to offer in the way of farm | relief, he has come to the conclusion that would be far better for the country to elect Hoover and Curtis than | Smith and Robinson. Hopeful of Relief. Senator Schall said at the executive | office that if there is to be any re- lief legislation for the farmer any time soon it is more likely to come from Re- | publicans than Democrats. Moreover, he | %as confidence in Mr. Hoover's ability | and honesty and he now feels confident | that if Mr. Hoover promises to draw up some kind of a relief plan, he will make good his promise. He feels certain also that the plan will be practical and workable. The Senator stated that Smith's shunning of the equalization fee is go- ing to lose him many votes in the West. He declared Smith’s attitude toward the fee will cost him more votes in Minne- sota and other agricultural States than | he will corral by his wet policies | __In making known his indorsement of | Hoover, Senator Schall assured Presi- | dent Coolidge that Hoover will carry Minnesota by a safe margin. He said it was his belief that Senator Ship- stead. Farmer-Labor candidate for re- election, will defeat his Republican op- ponent_in November. but he expects Gov. Christianson, who is running on the Republican ticket, to defeat his Farmer-Labor opponent. President Coolidge was represented as announcing to correspondents that he | has not decided on the day for his | leaving for Washington, but intimated it is not far off. Indications are that he will be back at the White House be- | fore the end of next week. He said his intended visit to New England is quite ! indefinite. |PRISONER LEAVES BY UNLOCKED DOOR | Fourth Precinct Police Looking for Man Who Walked From Cell. ar.
