J., has been sum- moned here for trial before the National Board of Management of the Daughters of the American Revolution this month on charges growing out of the “black lists” which resulted in the recent ex- pulsion of Mr@®delen Tufts Balley of Boston, was authorized officially today in the face of reports to the contrary. Charges were filed against Mrs. Mac- farland, a member of the Parsippanong Chapter, before the Continental Con- gress met here last June, linking her Iname with that of Mrs. Bailey as being bne of those opposed to the D. A. R.’s national defense committee. Just before the June meeting Mrs. Macfarland pleaded for additional time in which to prepare her answer, the board continuing her case without fix- ing a time for her hearing. H. Ralph Burton, counsel for Mrs. William Sherman Walker, chairman of the national defense committee, ex- plaining the situation today, which is unchanged, said: “Mrs. Macfarland has not been summoned to appcar for trial 2t the October meeting.” He added that Mrs. Walker was preparing a statement in connection with reports quoting Mrs. Macfarland as declaring she has no intention of submitting to such a trial. Mr. Burton indicated that Mrs. Mac- farland is “just trying to break through the wall of silence, 0 as to get inside and hurt the standing of the D. A. R. The dispute over the “black lists arose when Mrs, Bailey declared that; the chairman of the national defense | committee of the Massachusctts D. A.

Contributions to the hurricane re- lief fund being raised by the National Red Cross exceeded $3,500,000 today, officials of the Red Cross announced. The Red Cross is asking for a minimum of $5,000,000. Washington has donated $44,138 of its $50,000 quota, according to a report by Victor B. Deyber, chairman of the local committee handling the campaign for funds here. The Rotary Club re- ported an additional $333 today, bring- ing its total to $2,800. National headquarters here con- tinues to recetve reports of widespread suffering in Porto Rico. A message received today from Henry M. Baker, director of Red Cross relief on the island, stated that of Porto Rico’c 4,198 schoolrooms, 1,027 were totally de- stroyed and 1,281 partially destroyed. Most of the damage was felt in rural sections, where schools are placed on ‘high elevations to insure a maximum of air for the pupils. “In no disaster in which the Red Cross has served has there been so many people to care for at ons time,” Mr. Baker continued. “It is recognized the Red Cross is facing onc of the most serious reliefl problems in its history. “Unless the relief fund is of a size commensurate with the megnitude of the disaster, suffering will be widespread throughout the island. It is under these circumstances that the governor and the people of Porto Rico are making this carnest appeal to the people of the United States.” Similar word was received from Flori- da in the shape of a telegram from Gov. John W. Martin, asking: “May I urge that you do all possible to impress upon Red Cross chapters and the Nation at large the extreme need of help in the storm-siricken area of Tlorida. Apparently the devastating cf- fect of the Florida hurricane here is not yet fuily realized.” She is quoted in dispatches as saying that Chairman Work had advised her not to discuss the matter with news- paper men. Named by State. Mrs. Caldwell is not an appointee of the national committee, but was elected by the State Republican convention just prior to the Kaonsas City national convention. In view of this, any ac- tion to remove Mrs. Caldwe!l would have to be initiated through another State convention, Virginia Republican authorities assert. One Republican leader in Virginia said today that no time should be lost in geiting a new national committeewoman for Virginia, whatever procedure was necessary to accomplish that end. He did not wish his name usod in connection with the controversy, however. Hoover feels that he has spoken suf- ficiently already two formal cing the let- ter and reiterating his repugnance over ny ‘attempt to injest religion into this campaign. He feels that the Caldwell incident should stand os a warning to others against adoption of any in- tolerant attitude by his supporters. HURT BY MOTOR CYCLE.

BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. Dy a Staff Correspondent of The Sta BALTIMORE, Md., Octoher 1.—Play. ing over & rain-soaked course, but under skies (hat gave promise of a faster fair- way later in the week, 65 of the leading professional golfers of the United States started today over the Five Farms course | of the Baltimore Country Club in the quest for the title won for the last four years by Walter Hagen. Only 32 of their rumber will survive the 36-hole medal play test today, for the tourney schedule calls for a 36-hole qualifying round on the opening day of the event, with 32 to qualify for the 36-hole match play rounds starting tomorrow and con- cluding Saturday. 3oth Hagen and stocky little Gene Sarazen, who won the title in 1922 and 1923, b 1 the title fray today sadly in need of practice over the testing new layout of the Baltimore Country Club, 12 miles from the heart of the Maryland metropolis, in the Green Spring Valley. Both have played the course but once, and the scores they turned in for their practice rounds yesterday augured ill fap. their chances to survive the medal test today. Hagen and Sarazen, vr, have the magic gift of saving and will doubtless qualify where lesser men would flounder and fall. Armour at Home. Tommy Armour, professional at the Congressional Country Club, the lone ‘Washington entrant in the competition, is thoroughly familiar with the course, and should have no trouble finding a place in the 32 who will start the match play rounds for Hagen's title to- morrow. Armour played a practice round through the drizzling rain of vesterday with Bob MacDonald and Al Espinosa of Chicago, to score a 77. Leo Diegel, Canadian open title hold- er, the only national champion here to attempt to lift the crown from Hagen's sleek locks, predicted today scores as high as 164 would qualify for the match play rounds. The natural dif- ficulties of the course, its 6,622 yards of length and its tricky putting greens, all combine, in Diegel's opinion, to make the course one of the hardest scoring propositions the professionals have ever seen. “It's two strokes harder than Oakmont,” Diegel said just before he started today. “And I am sure a pair of 8Cs will make the grade with strokes to spare.

This involves a legitimate expenditure of money, all of which is publicly accounted for. Therefore, all those who are interested in the issues and the Republican party should assist the committee in this work.” Treasurer Nutt said that 90,604 per- sons contributed to the Coolidge cam= paign, and 15,725,016 votes were cast for him in 1924. “We are asking that one in 15 of these voters join the Hoover-Curtis legion and contribute a dollar or more to the campaign fund,” he explained. The women are expected to help in this work, he added. Five Speeches Planned. Hoover probably will make five in- stead of three major addresses from now until election day. In addition to the addresses already scheduled for Elizabethton, Tenn, New York City and Boston, it now appears certain he will speak at some point en route to California the week before election, and a final appeal to the voters on clection eve, from his home at Stan- ford University. Hoover will leave Friday for the mountains of eastern Tennessee for his fourth major address of the campaign next Saturday. A chain of radio sta- tions in the South will broadcast the address. His New York speech will be delivered October 13, in Madison Square Garden. The date of his appsarance in Boston has not been definitely fixed. The speech en foute to the West probably will be delivered in St. Louis, the twin cities of Minnesota or some strategic Midwestern metropolls. Sev- cral rear platform talks also will be made during the trip. The clection eve address is expected to be made from his home, without an immediate audience present. It will be broadcast over the radio to all parts of the country. Hoover spent another quiet Sabbath with his family yesterday, attending Queker services at the I street meeting house and going for a short drive through the park in the afternoon. He was accompanied by Mrs. Hoover, their son_Allan, and a neighbor, Mrs. Charles Walcott. LAUREL ENTRIES TOMORKOW. FIRST RACE—Purse, £1,300; maiden fillies, 2-year-olds: bYa furlongs.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1928 ENDURANCE FLYERS INAIR 32 HOURS Breck and Schiee Drep Note Saying Everything Is “Lovely.” By the Associated Pres SAN DIEGO, Calif., October 1.—Wil- iam Brock and Edward Schlee, who are | attempting to establish a new world record for sustained airplane flight, | were still aloft at 10:49 am. today, | completing their fifty-second hour in the air. Brock and Schlee took off early Sat- urddy morning. With less than 24 hours to go to realize their ambition of bringing the record back to the United States, Brock and Schlee, globe-trotting _aviators, piloted their Bellanca monoplane along the air lanes above the city early to- day. In order to gain official recognition the airmen must remain aloft an hour longer then the record of 65 hours and 25 minutes by Resticz and Zimmerman, German flyers, established last June. Last night the flyers were chased inland by a sea fog which forced them down to 500 feet. where they kept under the fog. Good flying weather was fore- cast for today. At the take-off the plane carried 560 gallons of gasoline, 21 gallons of lubri- cating oil and a plentiful food supply. It was said to have been the heaviest load ever lifted by a single-motored plane, the gross weight being 6,150 pounds. The take-off, featured by the nece: sity of keeping on an even keel w such a load, was described as a master- ful piece of airmanship. The plane tax down a specially constructed runway for seven-cighths of a mile, rose very slowly and flew straight out to sea, barcly clearing the waves. To have banked and turned at that low altitude would have meant a dive into the ocean. Brock and Schlee held the monoplane in a bee-line course until it gained sufficient altitude to bank and turn, and then came back over the ity. Yesterday the weather report for 48 hours, boiled down to one word—fair, was taken to the endurance flyers in big chalk marks on the side of a plane piloted by Lee Schoenhair and Lieut. Van Dusen. Brock and Schlee waved their thanks and went on. They dropped a note at midafternoon saying everything was “lovely.” DEMOCRATS WAIT SMITH’S WORD ON STATE SLATE HEAD (Continued from First Page.) honest, ment. “For in 10 years,” he said, “the peo- ple of the State have had no anxieties, no shame and no apologies for the gov- ernment of our State.” TRIP SATISFIES SMITH. sympathetic, popular govern- Nominee Returns Home Convinced Tour of West Was Benefit. GOV. SMITH'S TRAIN, EN ROUTE TO ROCHESTER, N. Y., October 1 (/). —Feeling fit, but anxious for a rest after his first two weeks of arduous campaigning, Gov. Smith approached home soil today confident that his efforts in the West have had a bene- ficlal effect. Six formal addresses in as many States, 6,000 miles of traveling the rails, approximately 50 personal appear- ances on the rear platform of his special train to greet thousands of well-wishers and a round of receptions and political conferences was a matter of history for the Democratic presidential nom- ince as he neared Rochester for the New York State Democratic Convention. This was the only engagement stand- ing between the governor and four or five days of light activity around the executive mansion and Capitol offices in Albany, which he plans to reach tomorrow night. No announcement re- garding the itinerary for his second stumping tour is expected to be made until after he reaches the State Capitol. Speech Tonight on Alr. A series of conferences with State party leaders has been planned for the nominee soon after his arrival in Rochester. He will address the conven- tion there tonight on tire political situa- tion in the State. Whether he will con- fine his remarks to the party record of the last two years or extend them to embrace his views on the Republican State ticket and platform decided upon over the week end at Syracuse had not been determined early today. The speech will be broadcast over an extensive hook-up. While he would not indicate his gubernatorial choice, the governor would say one thing, and that was he was sure, for the first time since 1918, that he would not be the nominee. Summarizing what he believed had been accomplished by his first two weeks' campaigning tour, Gov. Smith had this to say to newspaper men: “I think T have brought home to the people all the issues I spoke about. I think I gave them some pretty good plain talks on the things that were brought up in the course of the two weeks® travel, and I am satisfled that it was very effective.” Refuses To Elaborate. Pressed for an elaboration of his re- action, taking in the farm question, the nominee replied: “There is not anything more to be said about that. What I said about it is a mouthful.” The Gov- ernor based his statement on “the large number of telegrams that keep following his train and by what I hear from the people that listen in on the radio.” Asked if he thought the type of cam- paigning he followed had justified itself, he said: “I think the people of this country are fed up on set speeches with mean- ingless phrases in them. There is no doubt about that. I think it is an in- novation to talk right out, talk plainly and give them, as I put it in St. Paul, the ‘low down’ on the situation they never get in set speeches.” The governor said he felt fine and he looked it when he appeared in the club car for his last press conference en Toute. “I never felt better in my life,” was the way he put it. “My voice is as good as it ever was. If there is any doubt about how I feel, let me say that I had a belt line steak with fried pota- toes for breakfast. Sick people do not eat those things.” Asked if he still was of the opinion that there is no dominant issue in the campaign. he replied that he never had entertained such a belief. “I saild the issues were all related to the one big question of what is best for the country,” he explaine —————— EXECUTION SYSTEM IN D.

GLADMAN HITS DISMISSAL IN SUIT, CHARGING SECRECY (Continued from First Page.) the relator of his right to a commis-’ sion in the National Guard of the Dis- trict of Columbia.” Commissioned in 1924. Tt relates that Col. Gladman received his commission as lieutenant colonel in the 121st Engineers on February 5, 1924, and has since acted in that capacity, and points out that he is still a lieutenant colonel, despite the orders issued in the case. The petition says that on August 14, last, Col. Gladman received notice from the defendant Maj,. Gen. Hammond, a form which imparted the information that the rec- ords of the militia bureau had been amended to show that the status of Cal. Gladman, as lieutenant colonel of engineers was terminated on August 14, by the direction of the Secretary of War. It then adds that on August 26 there was received from Lieut. Col. L. C. Brinton, jr, then adjutant general of the Guard, an officlal order, issued by command of Gen. Stephan, honorably discharging Col. Gladman from the National Guard “by reason of the with- drawal of Federal recognition on Au- gust 14, 1928, under the provisions of | section 19, act of Congress approved March 1, 1889, as amended.” This is the National Guard organic act. This section, according to the petition, pro- vides that whenever, in the opinion of the commanding genejal of the militia of the District of Columbia, an officer of the said militia has become incapaci- tated for the performance of duty for any reason, the commanding general shall submit the name of such officer to the Secretary of War, with a view to his being ordered before a hoard of examination, to be appointed by the Secretary of War, which board shall examine said officer as to his physical, mental and military qualifications. It further provides, the petition shows, that if any officer fails to ap- pear before such a board within 30 days after being notifled, or fails to pass a satisfactory examination, this fact shall be certified by the board to the commanding general, who shall forward the record of examination to the Secretary of War, with his recom- mendation, for submission to the Presi- dent of the United States. Cites Defense Act. ‘There is also called to the attention of the court in the petition the fact that the national defense act provides a formal method, in section 77, for the elimination of officers. it says that at any time the moral character, capacity and general fitness for service of any National Guard officer may be deter- mined by an efficiency board of three commissioned officers, senior in rank to the officer whose fitness for service shall be under investigation. and if the find- ings of such a board be unfavorable to such officer and be approved by the of- ficial authorized to appoint such an of- ficer, in this case the President of the United States, he shall be discharged. It then says that commissions of officers of the National Guard may be vacated upon resignation, absence without leave for three months, upon recommendation of an efficiency board. or pursuant to sentence of a general court-martial. “Gladman,” his petition says, “was never ordered before a board of exam- ination appointed by the Secretary of War, nor has any such board examined him as to his physical, mental or mil tary qualifications as required by law. At no time has the moral character, capacity or general fitness for service of the relator as an officer in the Na- tional Guard of the District of Colum- bia been determined by an efficiency board of three commissioned officers, senior in rank to the relator, unfavor- ably to this relator. Nor has any such finding been approved by any official authorized to appoint this relator; nefther has he been absent without leave for three ‘months. nor has his commission been ordered vacated upon the recommendation of an ecfficiency board or pursuant to a court-martial. Asks Entry Be Quashed. Aside from requesting the court to issue the writ for certification of the procesdings for review, the petition asks that the entry of August 14 last of th Militia Bureau be quashed, that all th records appertaining to the case in the National Guard of the District of Co- lumbia be certified to the court and quashed, that all of the records of the Guard and War Department removing | Gladman be quashed and that Glad- man'’s status with the Guard estored. The ex parte proceedings in the petition were conducted by Licut Col. Thorna Strayer, a Regular Army officer in the inspector general’s depart- ment. A number of witnesses testified at this hearing, including Col. Glad- man, but he was not permitted to be present at the taking of testimony other than his own. Col. Gladman has ob- tained a partial report of these pro- ceedings, and they disclose only the testimony of Col. John W. Oehmann, commanding the regiment, and Capt. Clay Anderson, an officer of the Regular Army assigned to the local engineer regiment as an instructor. North Pole Flight Game Out.

GREAT BRITAIN MAY OPEN DOORS TO MRS M’PHERSON Will Not Evangelist on Grounds of Agitation, but Will Scan Alien Status. By the Associated Press. | LONDON, October 1—Official an- | nouncement was made today that the | home secretary will not prohibit Mrs, | Aimee Semple McPherson, Los Angeles evangelist, from landing in England “on the ground merely that she may advo- cate religious beliefs and doctrines of a controversial nature.” Like most every other alien. however, Mrs. McPherson must satisfy the immi- gration officer at the port of arrival that she may properly be allowed to land within the terms of the aliens order of 1920. Representations recently were made that Mrs. McPherson should be barred from entering because of what were described as her sensational evan- gelistic methods. The Daily Mail on Saturday printed an editorial expressing the hope that the home secretary would look very carefully into the question of Mrs, McPherson's proposed visit.
