I am confident that the affairs, discipline and general con- ditions of the department are in better shape now than they were a year ago, despite the impressions to the contrary.” The Commissioner, however, said he had no comment to make at this time on Mr. Gibson's proposal to put a mili- tary man at the head of the depart- ment for the purpose of building up strict miilt discipline in the police. g among other develcp- in the police situation were ting charges against members of force. Another member, Motor Cycle Patrolman Howard J. Dorren- bacher of the fourteenth precinct, was suspended for allegedly taking a “nap” while on duty. and Patrol Driver Frank A. Davis of the seventh precinct was ordered to appear before the new police trial board to emswer a charge of neglect of duiy for failing to take rompt action in arresting a youth he finew to be carrying a revolver in vio- lation of the law. Asleep at Post. Dorrenbacher, according to reports to lice headquarters had fallen asleep m the precinct station last night and was found in that state by a night| inspector. The officer, it was said, had been dozing only about five minutes. Davis will go before the police dis- ciplinary board for failing to arrest promptly Roy Culver Cooper of New York, when he is said to have seen him pull a gun from his pocket. Reports submitted to Maj. Hesse by Inspectors Henry G. Pratt and L. J. Stoll, indi- cated that Davis was repairing his sutomobile at Thirteenth and E streets. The report declared that Davis followed Cooper for two blocks and finally sum- moned a traffic officer on duty at Ninth street and Pennsylvania avenue before he arrested him. Cooper was charged with carrying concealed weapons. Dg(\]'is was not on duty at the time. but police officials pointed out that policeman required to take immedi- ate action in such cases whether on or| off duty. Probes Drinking Charge. Maj. Hesse also has initiated an in- westigation of charges of intoxication preferred against Lieut. James D. Mc- | their Quade. night inspeetor, by Mrs. Claude A. Beell gf Lyon Village, Va., wife of a suspended policeman. Mrs. Ezell, in & conference with the police superin- tendent, accused the night inspector ol showing visible signs of having taken liquor when he came to her home last Saturday night in company with Lieut. H. S. Grove, and suspended Policeman Ezell on a charge of intoxication. ’ No action has been taken against McQuade, Maj. Hesse explained, because Mrs. Ezell d}’t not put her charges in writing and also because the only evi- dence she cited to support her accusa- tion was that the night inspector’s face was flushed and that.he stood erect. A florid face is one of McQuade’s charac- teristics, Maj. Hesse said. Moreover, the superintendent pointed out, McQuade had visited police headquarters and the third precinct station prior to going to the Ezell home and returned to these places after his investigation, and in this time came in contact with a num- ber of members of the department, none ©of whom has been found to support Mrs, Ezell's charges. Starts Check for Gibson. In vesponse to Mr. Gibson’s tele- graphic request from Brattleboro, Vt. Maj. Hesse has started preparation of statistics showing the activities of the police in their perennial campaign to rid Washington of its gambling houses. ‘The superintendent said he would have this report ready for Mr. Gibson when he_returns here by October 1. r.

SEABROOK SCHO0L Citizens Vote Unanimeusly to | Keep Children From Lanham. Without a dissenting voice, the cit- izens of Scabrook, Md., decided today to continue their boycott of the Lan- ham School and, if necessary, to carry their fight to recover their own school to_Gov. Ritchie. ‘The 19 children of school age in th> town are lending their whole-hearted support to the striking tactics of their parvents. Their only concern, so far as could be ascertained today, is that the gap between the mothers and fathers and the board of education will be bridged at an early date. ‘When the bus, furnished by the county, left Seabrook for the Lanham School this morning it carried only the two small girls of Mr. and Mrs. John veland. The mothers of the other ys and girlis refused to let cl enter the bus. ‘Truant Officer Considered. There is one factor in the case, how- ever, which has given rise to con- sidered uneasiness, both in the minds of the children and the parenis. This is the impending visit of the Prince Georges County truant officer. Just when this official will put in an appearance is not certain, but the ma- Jority of the parents do not believe the school authorities will permit them to withhold their children from school without giving this means of forcing them to attend a trial. After the Board of Edtrcation, meeting ant officer has any right to come into their homes and take the children, but all are a little vague s to any prac- tical means of keeping him out. After the board of education, meeting at Marlbero yesterday, refused to pro- vide a teacher for the school, a mass meeting was called at Seabrook, and it was decided to send a delegation to | Gov. Ritchie. A, J. Thomas, George Morgan, Mrs. Calvin Lowry. Mrs. Charles Hammer, Mrs. Earl Wannell, Mrs. S. R. Whedbee, John R. Riggles and Mrs. Carl Mangold were named on this committee. The committee expects to_visit the governor early next week. Nearly one-fourth of the town'’s pop- ulation of 200 appealed to the Board of Education yesterday to give them back their school. which was abolished by the board at the opening of the cur- | rent school year. They claimed that without a school the value of their property would de- ice force did not meet with any |preciate and their children would be Potorable reaction in the department |subjected to hardships and physical itself. Police officials point out that | there already are a number of execu- tives who have had militery training, including Maj.

ARCHBISHOP DEFINES | NEWSPAPER’S STATUS | T-ral Legate Holds Osservatore| Romano’s Direction Is in Hands of Its Own Editor. By the Associated Press. The question of the official authority of pronouncements in the Osservatore Romano, articles from which are fre- quently quoted in news dispatches, was | discussed yesterday by the apostolic | delegate to the United States, Arch- | bishop Fumasoni-Biondi, who explained the status of the newspaper. Declaring that he was surprised there was any misunderstanding on the | matter, the archbishop said “the Os- | servatore Romano is called the ‘organ of ‘the Holy See’ or ‘the papal organ’ or ‘the mouthpiece of the Holy See,'| inasmuch as it is a journal used by the loly See to make public special an- nouncements. “But in all such cases the Osserva- tore Romano is expressly authorized to speak in the name of the Holy See, and moreover such pronouncements are al- ways printed by the Osservatore Ro- mano in the form of special communi- cations. In its general management and_ordinary articles and editonals it i< directed by and is under the super- vision of its own editor. It is, therefore, in these respects, to be considered as any other newspaper of such lomg standing and high character as the Os- servatore Romano throughout its his- rory has shown itself to be.” Lieut.

The adults of the town, however, are determined not to abandon their fight, and, while they are preparing state- ments for Gov. Ritchie, the youngsters are making hay while the sun shines. A hotly contested ball game on the grounds around the empty schoolhouse was broken up long enough today for one 8-year-old boy to express the | opinion held by himself and his play- mates. “Huh.” he said, “we don't care if school never opens. It's a lot more fun to play base ball than to bother | with old hard lessons.” PRESIDENT RETURNS FROM WISCONSIN; SPENDS BUSY DAY ___(Continued from First Page.) went to the Whi had had breakf: te House alone.

TWO HOUSE MEMBERS RUNNING BEHIND IN PRIMARY CONTESTS (Continued from First Page.) W. J. Pack, the incumbent on the State Supreme Court bench. Political tradition was shattered in Vermont when Gov. John E. Weeks, Republican, became the first governor ond term since biennial elections wers adopted. "> al5o broke the unwritten law that L1 governor should be chasen alternately 1rom the east and west sides of the Green Mountains. Gov. Weeks won a 2-to-1 victory over Mayor Edward H. Deavitt of Montpelier, who based his campaign on adherence to the political traditions. With 12 small towns missing out of 248 cities and towns in the State, the vote was: Weeks, 34.171; Deavitt, 17,993, Green Is Renominated. There was no other contest on either ticket. The Democratic nominee for |governor is Harry C. Shurtleff. Sena- tor Green was renominated by the Re- publicans. His oppenent will be Fred D: Martin. A general absence of contests and issues, combined with operation of 2 new election law requiring voters to exprass their party preference, was re- flected in the small vote cast in yes- terday’s Statewide Colorado primary election. With 872 precincts reported out of 1566 in the State, Attorney General William L. Boatright led Clarence P. Dodge, Colorado Springs sportsman, early today_for the Republican guber- natorial nomination, ‘chief party con- test. The tabulation gave Boatright 31,408, Dodge, 18,554. Gov. William H. Adams, Democrat. was unopposed for_renomination. Representative S. Harrison White, a wet, won from George J. Kindel three- to-one for the first district Democratic congressional nomination. Of the distriet’s 293 precincts 292 gave White 9,489, Kindel, 2,963. Den- ver County. in which the State’s metropolis is located, comprises the district. William R. Eaton had a small lead for the district’s Republican congres- sional nomination. The vote gave Eaton 7,525 Lewis N. Hall, 7,240; Her- bert L. Shattuck, 6,536. Tobey Is Victor. Charles W. Tobey of Temple. who bolted the Republican party with Roose- | velt in 1912 and boasted of it during k> campaign, won the Republican nom- | ination for Governor of New Hamp- | shire yesterday. He defeated Ora A. Brown of Ashland, 252 wards and towns | out of 294 giving Tobey 27,480 votes to | 121,808 for Brown. Election of Brown, a member of the governor’s council and veteran of the *Old Guard,” was vigorously advocated by G- . Spaulding, Senator Moses and Keyes and other prominent party lead- ers. Tobey, a former president of the State Senate and a former speaker of the House of Representatives, was sup- ported by former Govs. John G. Winant, Robert P. Bass and other leaders of the Progressive branch ¢! the party. Former Mayor Eaton D. Sargent ot Nashua will be Tobey’s opponent in November. Sargent, who was the Dem- ocratic candidate for governor two | years ago, again was nominated by his party by an overwhelming vote over Charles D. Ward of Manchester. Ward made his campaign on a “wringing wet” platform. | Nomination of Sargent was assured | when 227 wards and towns gave him 7998 votes to 2,463 for his opponent. Ashurst Has Lead. United States Senator Henry F. Ash- urst and Gov. G. W. P. Hunt, Demo- cratic incumbents, held commanding leads for renomination to their respec- | tive offices in yesterday's primary in Arizona as vote tabulation continued today. Senator Ashurst, who has served his State continuously in the Senate since admission to statehood, held a three-to- one lead over C. W. Rutherford with | 206 eomplete and 80 incomplete pre- cincts out of 503 in the State reported. Gov. Hunt, only Democratic guber- natorial candidate the State has ever had, and successful in six of the seven campaigns since statehood, was well ahead of J. H. Kirby, and his friends claimed his renomination. The vote gave: Senatorial—Ashurst | | (D), 13251; Rutherford (D.). 3,966; Ralph Cameron (R.), 4,396 F. R. Stew- art (R.), 2,608 Gubernatorial —Hunt (D.). 12,606 Kerby (D.), 9.636; John C. Phillips (R.) ! 4,434; John H. Udall (R.), 2,728; Celor: M. Stoddard (R.), 1,741, Representative L. D. Douglas, Demo- crat, was unopposed for renomination, as was Guy Axline, seeking the Repub- lican congressional nomination. —_——————— BAND CONCERT.

Massa- chusetts is the only one of these States which has members of the House who are Democrats, and Massachusetts has 13 Republican Representatives and only 3 Democratic members of the House, Adding the party representation in both Senate and House, it is found that the Republicans have 39 and the Dem- ocrats 5. Up to the present, the so-called re- ligious issue has been soft-pedaled In New England. The Republicans are not raising it. They have many Catholics as members of their organizations in these States, and the party has been supported by thousands of Catholic voters in past elections. Here and there reference has been made to the issue. The Democratic national committee- g ago wrote a | letter to Senator Hale complaining be- cause Senator Watson of Indiana, who | has been charged with Ku Klux Klan- | ism in his own State, was being brought into Maine to be used in the campaign. And Thomas J. Spellacy, Democratic national committeeman for Connecti- cut, urged the Democrats in that State not to nominate a Catholic for Senator, but to put a Protestant on the ticket to run with Gov. Smith. There is a very large number of Catholic voters in New England States, and if they should all cast their ballots for Smith, it would have a big effect in the election. Re- publican_leaders insist, however, that thousands of the Catholics who have voted Republican in the past will stick to the G. O. P. this year. Strong in Massachusetts. ‘The Democrats have a better chance to carry Massachusetts than any of the other New England States, it would ap- pear today from a survey of the entire territory. There is no doubt the Re- publicans are worried over the situation, and they are planning a strenuous cam- paign. The next best bet of the Demo- crats is for Rhode Island. There the vote is evenly divided between the two parties in Providence, which has about 40 per cent of the State's population and fully 40 per cent of the voting strength. ‘The Republicans hope to hold the French-American vote, which is strong in Rhode Island, because of the antip- athy_existing between the French and the Irish. If they do they will prob- ably carry the State. In Connecticut the Democrats have a fighting chance for victory, a chance which they in- tend to make the most of. But thera the Republican organization has been 50 strong and the Democrats so torn by dissention that the chances still appear to favor the Repub icans.

The deepest hole in Chesapeake Bay was found yesterday morning by the Falcon off Barren Island, at the mouth of the Patuxent River, about 10 milec from Solomons Island, Md. The Navy diving boat Crilley, carry- ing all of the equipment for the experi- ments, tied to the Falcon and part of the afternoon was eonsumed in building and setting in place a stage out over the water from the Falcon's dec’ for the divers to work from. Then the two-and-a-half-ton diving lock was hoisted from the deck of the Crilley and lowered to the choppy water alongside the stage. Chief Gunner Tibbals, who is regard- jed in the Navy as the greatest author- ity on the “bends,” was superintending the work. He consulted his associates, Lieut. Momsen. Mr. Hobson and diving experts, as to the weather outlook. The water already was white-capped and there was a little sea. It was decided that the outlook for the next day was none too good for experimental work. They all agreed that the down-to-the- bottom test could be made right ther and the work completed.
