Says Alimony Relinquishment Would Prevent Im- prisonment. To Give Self Up Before Sat- urday—Plea for Pardon Ineffective. Declaring she would not have had to 20 to jail at all if she had agreed to certain conditions, Mrs. Willlam Gloth former wife of the Arlington County commonwealth’s attorney, late yester- day announced her intention of sur- rendering herself before Saturdngo to Town Sergeant A. F. Driscoll, at Poto- mac, Va,, to serve the year in jail to which she was sentenced for shooting her former husband on March 7 last. Mrs. Gloth's plea for a pardon from Gov. Byrd has met with no response and Saturday is the last day of her liberty . At Richmond today it was intimated that the governor would again consider Mrs. Gloth's application for pardon after she had served a portion of the | term. Young Billy Gloth, 15, son of the commonwealth attorney and Mrs. Gloth, yesterday told a reporter from The Star that attempts were made to approach his mother through him with a propo- sition that his mother would not be prosecuted in the shooting case if Mrs. Gloth would abrocate the alimony con- ract calling for a payment of $50 a week secured by deposit of stocks and bonds in an_Alexandria bank. “It meant giving up Billy and the only means of support I had except my mother. and I'm going to jall instead,” Mrs. Gloth said. Mrs. Gloth yesterday said that Gloth has paid only $150 of the alimony since February 27 and that by court order. She says that early this year Gloth filied suit in the Arlington County Cir- cuit Court for reduction of the alimony payments. It was immediately follow- ing the filing of this suit, she says, that she led the raid on an apartment at BUSINESS ZONING SOUGHT IN PLEAS Ten Cases for Hegring October 10.

WOMAN DIES AS PLANE TURNS OVER IN STREAM By the Associated Press. NORTH BAY, Ontario, October 2.— Mrs. L. B. Sheppard, 40, wife of a To- ronto lumberman, was drowned when a seaplane piloted by her husband struck a submerged log in the Sturgeon River and turned over. Mr. Sheppard had been making an aerial inspection trip of some of "his lands in the Red Lake area, with his wife as a passenger. Attempting to take-off here on the second stage of his return flight to To- ronto, the plane struck a log and turned over. Sheppard was able to free him- self, but his wife was held under the water by the weight of the plane. Any Woman Wanting Mate May Join Caravan if She Has $200.

In announcing her plan for the hus- band hunt some time ago, Miss Davis specified that any lonely woman with 200 to pay her share of the expenses could accompany her. She said she has received hundreds of letters from wom- en who wanted to go along, but that she is taking only two.

Gloth's alimony reduction action, she says, was withdrawn and through her attorneys she filed suit to foree Gloth to live up to the'contract, Gloth asked for and received in a court in Warrenton an injunetion temporarily staying her action, but in the demurrer she filed she was sustained, and it was at this time, she says, that Gloth was :rdered to pay $150 of the alimony due er. When Mrs. Gloth goes to jail she will leave her son under the guardianship of her mother, Mrs. Delia Schneider, at whose home, on Shelly road, Arlington County, Mrs. Gloth and Billy have been living for some time. Young Billy sev- eral weeks ago went before Judge How- ard W. Smith of the Arlington County Circuit Court and asked that his grand- mother be appointed his guardian. Letters informing Gov.

He must also be willing to advance $5,006 for my brother's education. “One other stipulation she makes is that he must be between 40 and 55 years old. Miss Davis admitted that her ideal probably was an_exceptional men, but declared she would not be satisfled with an ordinary husband. “I want an exception and 1 am going to scour the country for him. I have had many opportunities to marry, but the right one is yet to be found.” Miss Davis said she has received let- ters from more than six hundred men who hoped they might measure up to her specifications. “Only a few of these were from love sick weaklings,” she >rted, “most of them having a sinc ing.” Miss Davis intimated the route of the expedition has been planned so that it will be possible for the different members to visit places from which they have received letters. “Time,” she declared, “is no object. Each of us is determined to get a hus- band and we propose to keep right on hunting until we find the ri one.” She says |to STORM RELIEF FUND STEADILY GROWING Capital City Reports Total of $46,668 Raisad for Flor- ida Sufferers. ‘The Capital today continued to add to its fund for the Southern storm suffer- ers, a total of $48,668 being reported by Victor B.

Work in Everglades Retarded. ‘While standing water from the flood conditions that accompanied the hur- vicane in the Everglades section of Florida is retarding rehabilitation work, the American Red Cross is planning rovide truck farmers who lived in that territory with tents so that they may occupy their farms as quickly as goulble and begin rebuilding their lomes and planting their lands. The farmers also will be provided with seed and fertilizer. A. L. Schafer, director of Red Cross relief work in Florida, reports that it is necessary to enable the farmers to plant as quickly as possible because of possible frosts in the near future. The agricultural experts say that money crops can be put on the market in 60 days from planting, which will assure the farmers some income. In many places in the Everglades all signs of the farms are gone, even the houses having disappeared i the winds and flood. Red Cross Aids 11,500 Families, In all sections of the Florida disaster area Red Cross relief work is progress- ing toward rehabilitation. It is esti- mated that 11,500 families are now reg- istered with the Red Cross, but it believed this number will undoubtedly increase. More than 4,000 people still are being fed by the Red Cross. The needs of the non-agricultural group affected by the hurricane, to- gether with the farming group, which was nxcecdlng'!}v hard hit, emphasize the major proportions of the disaster and the fact that the Red Cross will require a relief fund full to overflowing if those w)lm ?““&Mrlmmw be o-.fedmor ‘yrofl; erly in the Florida area, in the Islands and in Porto Rico. g STORM RELIEF CONTRIBUTIONS The following Red Cross contribu- tions were announced todsy through Victor B.

ROUSSEAU NAMED CHIEF COORDINATOR Naval Petroleum Reserves Director to Assume Du- ties January 1. Rear Admiral Harry H. Rousseau, director of Naval Petroleum Reserves, has been appointed chief co-ordinator for the Government, effective January 1, to succeed Brig. Gen. Henry C. Smither of the Army, who retires on that date from active service. The appointment, announced today by Director Lord of the Bureau of the Budget, swings from the Army to the Navy this lmsorum post created by President Harding. Admiral Rousseau will become the second chief co-ordinator, as Gen. Smither has served as the first, continu- ogsly from his appointment July 27, 21. Prior to his present post, Admiral Rousseau for four years had been na- val receiver for Naval Oil Reserve No. 1, in California, the celebrated Elk Hills, during litigation over the Doheny leas- es, But the new chief co-ordinator, in addition to his connection with the Navy's oil reserves, has had a distin- guished career as an engineer, and is probably best known for his' service on the Panama Canal. He went to the Canal Zone in 1907, first. with Gen. George W. Goethals and later was a member of the Isthmus Canal Commission, and engineer under Gen. Goethals. When the commission was terminated in April, 1914, and Goethals was made governor, Rousseau was appointed engineer of terminal con- struction, which post he held until the work was completed in 1016. Follow- ing his canal service, Admiral Rous- seau served as a member of the Com- mission on Navy Yards and Naval Sta- tions, and during the World War wi with the Emergency Fleet Corpo tion as head of the Shipyard Branch Division. Entering the Navy in 1808 from civillan life, the engineer became a member of the Civil of the Navy, and served tions throughout the country. In 1906 h‘dwl').oc lc&m( of the Bureau of Yards ang 5 With his 30 years of service in the Navy, and at the age of 58, Admiral Rousseau assumes a post which stands alone in the Government service, one 5 | Which has been deacribed as having “a finger on the Puln of every govern- mental activity.” The office of chief co-ordinator claims to be separate and distinct from ail other departments and establish- ments of the Government, but works in co-operation with its lineal t, the Bureau of the Budget, to which it re- ports its activities, and with whose an- nual report the official record of its work s published, The chief co-ordinator, Gen. Smith- er, himself, and his office have received continuous and hearty praise from Di- rector Lord of the Bureau of the Budget for their work in co-ordinating the business of the Federal Government. The first big job of the chief co-ordi- nator was the liquidation of the mass of surplus war supplies. Gen. Smither is leaving the Govern- ment to accept a position with the In- dian Refining Co, The chief co-ordinator's office is in the Arlington Building, which houses the Veterans’ Bureau.

Her American concert debut is sched- uled for November 13 here in the open- ing of the ensemble series of the vesper coneert course in a joint program with the famous Bohm Ballet, of which Adolph Bohm is director. However, in view of the international aspect of the coming contest finals and the appear- ance in the contestant field of a Cuban youth, Julio Cesar Fernandez, the you singer consented to sing prior to tha date in the Oratorical Contest program. VIRGINIA IS COUNTED IN SMITH COLUMN IN SPITE OF BREACH (Continued from First Page.) ernor. Some of them have quit the committees entirely and others have Jjust remained as members, but are not working for Smith's election. The Democratic State organisation is working industriously to fill up all the gaps. Anti-Smith Democrats insist, for example, that here in the city of Rich- mond, the city committee was bound to be strongly anti-Smith and that un- steps had to be taken to get the hinery to working for the Demo- cratic national ticket. These same anti- Smith Democrats go so far as to say that Richmond will show a majority for Hoover on election day. They say, too, that the Democratic organization has been hampered not only by the fact that many of its lesser leaders are against Smith, but that the Democrats have not been able to raise much of a campaign fund here, and that only some §41,000 has come into the State from outside. The lamb and lion lie down together in this city.

These boys are States, Willlam Fox, jr, of Canada, Dudley Raymond Barker of England, Heina Ba of Germany, Rene Pon- thieu of France and Efrgin Brito Ro- sado of Mexico, Younf Fernandes, the Cuban speaker, has not yet left his na- tive country and Jose de Tomaso of Ar- gentine is at present on the seas in the midat of his long journey from “down under.” within 30 days of election day. The canverse of this is that the registrars may go out and present ballots and get them signed up by any voters they may think will not be at home on elec- tlon day. All of the registrars, the State over, are Democrats. The con- sequence is that thousands of Demc- cratic votes will be signed and deliv- ered before election day. This is an efficlent way of getting the vote out. It 1s commonly credited with having turned the old ninth district, formerly represented in the House by Bascom 8lemp and by his father, from the Re- publican column to the Democratic, Democratic leaders here express their confidence that by election day the State will be safely in the Democratic column. They admit their usual mas Jority is likely to be cut down consider ably both by the failure of Democrats ta vote and by Democrats who vote for Hoover and against Smith. They insist that the attack upon Gov. Smith on religious grounds is having a boomer- ang effect and that in the State which wrote into its bill of rights long before the Constitution of the United States was ude&ud the provision now in the Constitution declaring that there shall be no religlous test for holding office, “tolerance” will prevail, Republicans frankly fear that in the end powerful political machinery in hands of the Democrats will defeat them, They point out that there are same 30,000 State employes and most of are Democrats and are being lined . The ich has been built up under the ludexlmr of Bishop Cannon, an organization which is funce tioning far beyond the confines of Vir« ginia—indeed, in practically all of the ‘solid South” and in West Virginia, Missouri and Oklahoma. It is claimed that the anti-Smith voters among the | tor, Democrats are organized in every oity and town in Virginla and in a great many of the counties. The Republicans here in Richmond have been few and far between. They have local headquarters, it is true, buf their State headquarters are in Roanoke. I find that the Republican leaders here are ho’perul, but by no means so cock~ sure of carrying the State as the anti- Smith Democratic leaders. They would look on such a victory as er a miracle. Organizations Are Separate. The anti-Smith Democratic organiza- tion is working in sympathy with the Republicans, but its members continue to insist they are Democrats and are not breaking away from their allegiance. beat Smith,” To & question as to whether there was any connection between the anti- Smith Democratic organization and the Republican organization one of the lol?ddon of the former organisation re- plied: “We are friendly, of course, with the Republicans.

The probabilities are, however, that when election day arrives it will be found that Virginia's 12 electoral votes will be cast for Smith and Robinson.

BALTIMORE COUNTRY CLUB, BALTIMORE, Md., October 2.— Still putting like a tyro, Tommy Armour, professional golfer of the Congressional Country Club of Washington+and the lone entrant from the Capital in the Professional Golfers' Association cham- plonship under way here, was 3 down at the half-way point to Jim Barnes of New York in their first.round match today. Several other surprises marked the morning half of the first of ‘the 36 match play rounds. Armour outplayed Barnes all the way from the tee to the green, but around the green Barnes was his mas- ter. Armour had no fewer than seven, 3-putt greeps, and normally _should have been 4 or 5 up on the British- bred golfer from New York. Armour started by taking three putts i each of the first three greens. At e 179-yard ninth hole he was on_the green from the tee, but lost the hole when he took three putts again. He reached the turn 2 down to the lanky New Yorker. * Tommy's pitch shot at the tenth hole left him a putt of only 3 feet for a birdie, which he sank. But he missed a §-foot putt for an- other birdie at the eleventh hole which would have squared the match! and lost the twelfth hole when he again took three putts. Al the holes from “the twelfth to the seventoenth were halved, but here, as the 155-yard hole, after getting inside Barnes from the tee, Tommy again took three putts to lose the hole, As they walked into the clubhouse Barnes remarked to Armour's wife, “It isn't ‘his fault, Mrs. ‘Armour. He played better golf than I did.” The score of the first 18 holes follows: 4 Armour.... 55534553 ¢-49 3453654443877 Barnes .... 545345443 44436543 431~ FAVORITES IN GOLF LEAD, 2 Espinosa Shoots Par' to.Put Golden {1 Down in_Tourney. 3 FIVE FARMS COURSE, Baltimore October 2 (#).—A freak hole in 1 en- livened the morning half of the firgt round of mateh play in the National Professional Golfers' Assoclation chami- plonship tournament today.
