JAPANESE VISITORS MAKING WORLD TOUR Party of 19 From Delegation Sent to Olympic Games Leaves After ‘Washington Stop. A party of 19 distinguished Japanese citizens, a part of the Japanese delega- tion which attended the Olympic games during the Summer left Washington yesterday, after a brief visit, en route to San Francisco, where they will boarct a steamer for Hawaii and Japan. The party went to Amsterdam by way of Siberia, and the trip, therefore, will take the members completely around the globe. Their journey is be- ing made under the auspieces of the Osaka Mainichi, a newspaper in Osaka which boasts a circulation of 1,300,000. The party which visited this city in- cluded one lady, Mrs. S. Kimura of Osaka, who is accompanying her hus- band, a large land owner in Japan. Among the members of the party are Rev. E. Ichikawa, a Buddhist priest of Gifu Province; S. Sawahara, Speaker of the House of Representa- tives at Kure; Robert M. Kamide, a lecturer; M. Nakana, a graduate of the literature department of the Tokio Im- perial University; a group of bank di- rectors, an electrical engineer, a street railway manager, a lacquer merchant and a silk manufacturer. ‘The party, which made headquarters at the Mayflower, was entertained at tea Friday afternoon at the Japanese embassy. The trip west will include stops at Niagara Falls, Chicago, Colo- rado Springs, Salt Lake City and Los Angeles, the visitors sailing from San Francisco October 10. In San Francisco the party will be met by S. Takaishi, general director of the Osaka Mainichi, who is on his way to this city to visit President Coolidge.

Say, boy, do me a favor, will you? Go to Union Station and sit down—or lie down, I don't care which—and when that train for Lees- burg pulls in, telephone me right away, will_you?” “Yas, suh,” he replied, seriously. “Dat’s a funny request, but Ah’ll do it foh you wif’ pleasuah, suh.” He Didn’t Get the Job. This occurred Friday afternoon, Har- rington declares, but the colored man must still be waiting at Union Station for the Leesburg train, as he hasn't returned to the Traffic Bureau yet, or telephoned to the sergeant. “You know,” Harrington said, “only one guide so far has answered that question correctly by designating the Rosslyn Station. Some of ‘em squeeze out of the hard ones, like the fellow who, when I asked him how to get to the Freer Art Gallery, said to ‘call a taxicab.'” Sergt. Harrington does not attempt to ask a long list of questions to the applicants, but picks two or three typical ones from among queries usu- ally propounded by visitors.

SEPTEMBER RIVER REPORT GOES 10 COMMISSION Engineers Will Advise on Park and Power Improve- ments for Potomac. STAR, WASHINGTON. The report of a joint committee of engineers and landscape architects on plans for park and power development on the upper Potomac in the region of Great Falls will be one of the out- standing matters to come before the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, which will meet Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Legislation to be submitted to Con- gress at the coming session will be dis- cussed, as will plans for the immediate future in mapping out the course of work for beautifying further the Na- tional Capital. Changes in the high- way plan will come up for final indorse- ment and land acquisition for park and playground purposes will be considered. Final recommendation on the thor- oughfare plan of the District of Co- lumbia will be recommended, it is ex- pected, at the coming meeting. Certain streets have been designated as through routes from one section of the District to another. Interest centers not only in the radials, such as Massachusetts, Con- necticut, Rhode Island and Wisconsin avenues and Sixteenth street, but in the cross-town artegial highways, such as Columbia road arld Park road. ‘The meeting, which will be the first of the season, will be held at the Navy Department Building. __SERGT.

Embellished Stories. “We also are hopeful of putting out of business the irresponsible guide who deliberately gives out misinformation about places of public interest. Much of this results from ignorance on the part of the guide, but some of it is due to the fact that guides think their cus- tomers might be irked by the truth. They don't want it said of them that their tour proved boresome, so they proceed to embellish their monologues with fantastic or facetious touches de- signed to keep up the interest of the strangers.” Harrington has an uncanny memory of names and faces—a gift that proves invaluable to him in his work, and ex- tremely embarrassing for applicants with a shady past.

PHILADELPHIA, September 22— The special grand jury investigating gang murders, bootlegging and police bribery in this city probably will go on until after the New Year, John Monag- han, district attorney, said today. Sensational as have been some of the revelations heretofore, he said, he had reason to believe he had uncovered only a small part of the “scandalous conditions.” At the same time he disclosed that Samuel O. Wynne, Federal prohibition administrator for eastern Pennsylvania, turned over to him today a black book taken when a 75-gallon still was seized in south Philadelphia. Evidence of Bribes. The book contained entries showing that bribes were paid to the captain, the district detectives and to patrolmen in dwhose territory the still was oper- ated. “This captain and his subordinates whose names are mentioned in the black book will be summoned before the grand jury, Monaghan said. Speaking of the length of time the investigation is likely to continue, the district attorney/said: ¥ “I never tackled a more gigantic task, but I don't intend to stop. The so-called ‘higher-ups’ won'’t stop me.” Patrick J. McKewen, chief of county detectives, today announced that he would give the city police force until Monday to bring to headquarters Fred- erick Silber. missing city hall detective, charged with being implicated in ex- torting $1,500 from a confessed bootleg- ger. Monaghan late yesterday disclosed that he had information that Silber is in Philadelphia, and not in Canada as he previously had been led to believe. The grand jury did not meet today, and Monaghan was resting at his Sum- mer home in Atlantic City. He indicated there would be several arrests Monday, the start of the sixth week of the in- | vestigation.
