2 %z W™ FLECTION SERVICE PLANS COMPLETED The Star to Flash Results of Balloting on Screen, by Radio and Searchlight. Arrangements for tomorrow night's election news service to the people of Washington and vicinity from The Eve- ning Star were rapidly being put into | final shape today. | All will be in readiness, when the first | news comes into The Star from its in-} numerable sources throughout the Na- tion, to flash the results to the anxious- | 1y waiting public with the utmost speed and through several channels of in- formation, including radio. The big election night screen upon | which the returns will be flashed, and | before which thousands of persons are | expected to gather, has been put into place on the Pennsylvania avenue front of The Star Building, In the plaza be- | fore this screen, between The Star and | the Post Office Department Building. is | room for a gigantic crowd. The double | screen will also give space for running of motion picture entertainment along with the election news, and earlier in{ the evening should there be a lag in the | flow of returns from the polls. | | | Searchlight to Come Here. The Government anti-aircraft search- Yight, whose giant beam will flash from the Monument lot the trend of the bal- ‘ Jots, is expected to leave Fort| Humphreys tomorrow afternoon at about | 1 o'clock, according to Maj. W. H Lanagan of the Corps of Engineers. This [ motorized unit, which also supplies the | electricity for the powerful searchlight, | will come to Washington under its own power, probably arriving on the Monu- ment grounds about 2:30 o'clock, so as | to allow plenty of \tme to set it up for pperation early in the evening. The crew of three in charge of the search- light will be under N. C. Benson, electrical engineer. If the night is flear, Maj. Lanagan | estimated that the piercing beam of powerful light from this Army apparatus may be seen by persons within a radius of 40 or 50 miles of the Nation's Capi- tal. It is so storng as to enable oper- ators on the ground to spot an airplane six miles away. When an important development in the returns favors Smith the search- light will flash north to south three times. When such developments favor Hoover the light will move east to west three times. When victory for one of the candidates is determined the light will be shifted north to south for Smith, east to west for Hoover, as the case may be, for a period of 10 minutes. As long as the election is in doubt the searchlight will be played directly up- ward at intervals. WMAL to Carry Returns. Outstanding in The Star's program for the public will be the broadcasting of returns over station WMAL, begin- ning at 6 o'clock. Frederic William Wile, well known political analyst, from time to time will interpret the trend of the returns, and Thornton Fisher, announcer, will give the returns them- selves from a special studio in the news department of The Evening Star as rapidly as they are received from the Associated Press and other sources of its own which The Star has built up in nearby States. Music will be provided when there is delay in recep- tion of returns, but only then. Additional telephone service will be mvailable for those who desire to call The Evening Star, Main 5,000. Many theaters throughout the city Will be furnished election returns from 'The Star, thus reaching thousands in the various audiences. A feature of the service in front of 'The Star Building will be a public ad- dress system, so loud that the returns may be heard for blocks in every direction, 1. C. WILLIAMSON DIES.

ACCIDENTAL SHOT KILLS BOY HUNTER Paul Brooke, 16, Is Fatally| Wounded While Pulling Gun From Boat. Paul Brooke, 16 years old, of 517 Eighteenth street northeast, was fatally wounded shortly before 9 o'clock this morning when his shotgun was dis- charged accidentally as he pulled_the | weapon toward him out of a skiff in| which he and two eompanions had been | duck hunting on the Eastern Branch of the Potomac River. Brooke died at Casualty Hospital at 9:40 o'clock, 26‘ minutes after he arrived there. According to William Tompkins, 21, of 1107 D street northeast, and Martin Neale, 17, of 2010 Benning road north- east, Brooke's companions, the three had been hunting ducks on the Eastern Branch since 5 am. They had set out on the expedition from Harry D. Bailey’s boathouse on the eastern shore of the branch just south of the Benning road bridge and during the nearly four hours of hunting they bagged one duck. On their return to the boathouse shortly before 9 o'clock to get breakfast, Brooke was rowing the skiff. As he maneuvered the craft to the little landing wharf he jumped ‘(;ll; \:l(h the boat’s painter to make ast. Gun Is Discharged. Before Neale and Tompkins could | leave the craft, they said afterward, Brooke leaned over, grasped his 12-| gauge shotgun by the barrel and began tugging 1t toward him, the muzzle pointing straight up his arm. Sud- denly, the boys declared, the gun dis- charged and Brooke staggered forward into their arms, gasping, “I'm shot, fellows; get me to a hospital.” Neale and Tompkins notified Mr. Bailey in the boat house, who prompt- ly called the police and the hospital. Instead of waiting for the ambulance, however, another gunner hailed an automobile driven by G. I. James of 3500 Fourteenth street. With the as- sistance of Brooke's companions, Mr. James got the wounded youth in his car and rushed him to Casualty Hos- pital, reaching that institution at 9:15 o'clock. Despite the efforts of Dr. J. A. Ridge, the boy died at 9:40 o'clock. ‘The shell, loaded with duck shot, dis- charged its load between the boy's right arm and breast, tearing a great wound. Hammer Caught on Gunwale. Investigating police who visited the boathouse and took charge of the gun with which the young hunter was shot, were convinced, after making tests, that as Brooke pulled the gun toward him, the hammer caught on the gun- wale of the rowboat and was pulled back far enough to explode the shell when it fell again, DISTINGUISHED SERVICE MEbAL GIVEN TO TWO Col. George Williams and Lieut. Col. J. E. Hemphill Awarded Honors. Citations Laud Services With Expeditionary Forces Dur- ing World War. Col, George Williams of the War De- partment general staff and Lieut. Col.| John E. Hemphill, Signal Corps. at- tached to the office of the chief of the Signal Corps, Munitions Building, have just been awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for exceptionally meri- torious services in France during the World War. Col. Williams is from Tillinois, and commanded the 316th Infantry, 79th Division, in the operations in France. The citation mentions his brillant lead- ership of his regiment, notably in the assault and capture of the Bourne du | Cornouiller, November 3-6, 1918, during { which action his regiment was opposed by enemy forces vastly superior in | numbers, and adds that he “aided ma- | terially to the efficiency and effective- ness of his division in its operations ARMY OFFICERS STAR HODEL HOVE HTTRACTS THRONG ;Sunday Visitors Praise Fea- tures of Foxhall Village Residence. Washington yesterday made the most !of its apportunity to inspect The Star [ modz1 home at 4422 Q street, Foxhall | village. Cold drizzling rain in the morning kept all but & few visitors away | trom this neatly finished English group | house, but with a showing of the sun after noon came & stream of home lov- ers that continued for three hours be- yond the scheduled closing time, 6 p.m. This interesting house, the fourth and 1ast one of the series sponsored this year | by The Star and the Home Owners’ In- | stitute, in co-operation wtih local build- lers, will be open daily throughout the ensuing month from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. during which time all interested in home development are cordially invited by The Star to study the house for suggestions as to th: planning, construction, fur- nishing and decoration of a dwelling. ‘The model home may be reached by driving out Q street to Wisconsin ave- nue, north to Reservoir road, west to Forty-fourth street, south to Q street and west a half block to the house. It also may be reached by bus from Dupont Circle or street car through Georgetown to Foxhall Station, about three blocks south of the village. Visitors yesterday commented partic- ularly on the attractiveness of the | English rock garden at the rear of the house, which is given an air of privacy by the high lattice fences set in brick retaining walls on either side of the rear yard and the two-car garage at the extreme rear of the property. The focal point of the garden is_a stone bird path, about which are gravel and flagging walks, a stone bench, shrubs, flowers and lawn. The living room runs virtually the entire width of the house, which is 33} feet wide, over all. There is an English style fireplace, with hand-carved man- tel, on either side of which are built-in bookcases, also in natural oak wax finish, Other rooms on the first floor are the dining room. an adjoining break- fast nook and kitchen in which are especjally designed cabinets, one con- taining a built-in ironing board. On the second floor are four bedrooms, a hath with shower off the lateral hall- way and a second bath with shower off the master bedroom. On the third floor are a large cedar closet, a room furnished as a study and a large studio | at the front, connected through an | open arch with a bedroom at the left rear of the house, Off the hall on this floor also is a bath with shower equipment. In the basement visitors inspected steel columns and beams which are carried throughout the three stories pof the house to give sturdy strength to the whole house structure, HAVENNER TO NAME CITIZENS’ FEDERATION COMMITTEES SOON | __(Continued From First Page.) port the president in the coming year, S0 that the federation may do some constructive work."” ‘While the new president has not drawn up a program for the coming year he indicated that he would make strenuous efforts to restore harmony and bring about a cohesion of the fac- tions in the federation. “If 1 have any program,” he said, | “I expressed it in the few words I said upon assuming the chair Saturday night —that I am going to do everything within my power to maintain the feder- | ation’s prestige and extend its influ- ence. “The federation was organized 20 years ago to work on city-wide prob- | lems. 1 look upon it as being the real mouthplece of the citizens of the Dis- trict of Columbia. It is made up of delegates of all walks of life and its constituents bodles are composed of nearly every phase of human endeavor.” Natlonal representation and local suf- frage will receive particular attention during the administration of Dr. Hav- ennér. He is a strong advocate of both. “If we are not capable of governing ourselves, certainly we are not capable of having a voice in the affairs of the Nation,” he sald. “However, I want it understood that I do not go quite as far as some of the citizens who advo- cate local suffrage. Washington being the Federal city, the heads thereof should be appointed by the President of the United States as representatives of ail the people of the country. “I should like to see an elective school board responsible to the people. If we cannot have such a board, then we should at least have one that is ap- pointed by the administrative heads of the District and not by officers who in no way are connected with the admin- istrative branch of the municipal gov- ernment.” As president of the federation, Dr. Havenner is chairman ex-officio of the Citizens' Advisory Councll, which he declared has “fully demonstrated its worth.” I should like to see the coun- cil elected by the entire citizenship of the District rather than by the dele- gates to the federation,” he said. “Fur- ther, I should like to see its functions prescribed by statutory authority.” Favors Merger Plan. Dr. Havenner also is a supporter of the proposed merger of the transporta- tion lines of the District. “I believe that the transportation facilities should be merged, provided that the merger agreement is fair to the public, to the employes of the merged companies and the security holders,” he said. “The plan now pending in Congress should, in my opinion, be amended to limit the life of the $50,000,000 rate base to a period of five years, at the ex- piration of which time a new valuation should be completed and put into effect: that the so-called unification agreement between the transit companies be so clarified as to prohibit the new or merged company from operating taxi- cabs and other forms of public trans- portation other than rail and bus lines, 1and that the protection against com- petition granted to the merged com- pany should not be so restricted as to prohibit all other bus lines now op- erating in the District or the estab- lishment of new ones, provided they do not parallel, within a reasonable dis- tance, existing rail or bus lines.” Dr. Havenner said he had been liter- ally showered with congratulations since his election to head the federa- tion, One group of his admirers “said it with flowers.” DIVORCE SUIT DISMISSED.

While 18 purchasers of stock in the Parkway, large co-operative apartment at Connecticut avenue and Macomb | street, lald plans today to contest ouster proceedings filed agalnst them | in Municipal Court for the present own- | er of the building, which was sold in | a foreclosure under the second trust July 2, one tenant, Joseph Small, 71, a guide in the House Office Building, declared he would ask Congress to in- vestigate the financing of the Parkway and all other local co-operatives. Having paid sums of money in good faith for stock in the building to ob- tain a “permanent” residence there, Small said he would not be content merely to abide by decision in the ouster proceedings, scheduled to be started November 13, and would ask the House District committee and other members of Congress to take up the matter. Simultaneously today R. Bates War- ren, chairman of the co-operative | apartment division of the National As- soclation of Real Estate Boards, and a pioneer in the co-operative apartment fie'{ here, stated that he would present the Parkway case to the division at its meeting in Washington December 3. ‘When informed of the congressional investigation sought by Mr. Small, Chairman Warren declared that all legitimate and soundly established | real estate firms engaged in co-opera- | tive apartment developments would | welcome any “investigation” and point- ed to safeguards to investors set up by such concerns. Bureau Studies Projects. Mr. Warren pointed out that the National Association of Real Estate Boards, through its co-operative apart- ment division, during the past year had | set up a consultation bureau of experts to make a detailed and critical study of co-operative apartment projects with the purpose of certifying only those on a sound financial basis, properly planned and built and having reasonable assur- ance of success. ‘This bureau, he added, is serving somewhat in the capacity of a “Better Business Bureau,” investigating co- operative projects to prevent loss to investors and promoters alike, through discovery of either fraud or incom- petency in the promotion of such projects. ‘The co-operative apartment division several months ago announced plans to meet in Washington in December -to make a detailed study of all major co- operatives here, as well as in Philadel- phia and New York. Mr. Warren indi- cated the division would be asked to adopt a pronouncement based on the i TWO TEST FLIGHTS ON FOR TONIGHT 'One Will Try Out “Spotting” | and the Other Illuminated Roof Markers.

These flights have been made with two type: of Army bombing planes and were for the purpose of testing out the lates: type of sound-horn for locating air- planes by the sound of their motors and for testing the penetration of Army searchlights used to locate airplanes | for_anti-aircraft batteries. The Department of Commerce experi- mental flight tonight will be made at 7 o'clock to test the efficiency of various types of illuminated aviation roof markers which have been installed on the roof of the Department of Com- merce.

Department | ! | | | | By the Associated Press. BUCHAREST, November 5.—Vintilla Eratianu, former premier, today con- ferred with the Council of Regents and | suggested to them a way out of the | dilemma in which they found them- selves after they had forced the resigna- tion of his government. He advised that a national government be formed and stated that the Liberal party, of which he !s the head, would participate in such a government. It appeared certain, however, that no decision would be taken before the ar- rival of Nicholas Titulescu, former foreign minister’ and independent in | polities. ‘Titulescu wiil arrive on Wed-, nesday from London, where he is now Rumanian minister. Coalition Is Proposed. | The belief was expressed in some | quarters that the regency might ask | Titulescu to form a coalition govern- | ment in an attempt to placate all par- ties, but Titulescu's friends said that he would almost certainly decline such a task as the life of such a government would be short. Developments appeared to favor a peasant government led by Juliu Maniu | as the successor to the powerful capi- | talistic Bratianu regime, which has held sway for half a century with only brief | interruptions. | Maniu's party represents 80 per cent | of the population. If he forms a cabinet | it is expected that he will call for a na- | tional election since two-thirds of the present Parliament are Liberals, led by Brn:llnu, and opposed to the Peasant | party. Take U. S. as Pattern. “I shall give Rumania an adminis- | tration patterned on the enlightened | | lines of the United States,” Maniu said | in_defending his stand. In a formal statement today Maniu | expressed his party's eagerness to as- su;rd\e full responsibility. The statement said: “Our party, strongly supported by | national favor which has been proven by numerous popular demonstrations it is the only party which is capable of forming a government which will give to the couniry political peace and permit the solution of various financial and economic problems at present con- fronting it. We claim office and are | prepared to assume full responsibilitly for the situation.” Experiment In Control. A sudden change from a government of professional politicians to that of | unsophisticated but conscientious peas- |ants will represent one of the most | novel political experiments in recent times. “We shall remove the govenment from | the baneful influence of the big banks. | Nolan, commanding corps areas in va- | corporations and oil companies and | rious parts of the country, and Maj.|place it in the hands of the common | | people,” Maniu said. He added that he had no intention at present of disturbing the composition | of the regency of three who govern for the boy King Michael, but that he cer- tainly would not encourage the return of Michael's father, the former Crown Prince Carol.

In her original petition, Mrs. Taylor charged her husband with desertion, cruelty and non-support of herself and the three small children. Mrs, Taylor was represented by At- torney Godfrey L.

It cost several hundreds of dollars, but the protection afforded was worth it, he reasoned. Sometime last night yeggmen under- took to open the safe. They chiseled off the hinges and the handles and battered the combination, but their ef- forts were futile. When Mr. Farber entered his office this morning and saw what had hap- pened he made a hasty examination of the safe and saw it had not been open- ed. He was greatly pleased and felt that his caution in buying an honest- to-goodness safe had been justified. In a few minutes detectives arrived and inspected the safe. Mr. Farber's exuitation quickly changed to profound grief when he heard their verdict, Mr. Farber made a hasty calculation and reflected sadly on the strange ways |of life. The trusty safe harbors about $60 of his money. A new one is going | to cost him $500. ‘The thieves entered through a second- | floor window and left through a rear |door. Farber believes they were in the | offies Friday night inspecting the safe, | for he found the same door open Sat- | urday morning although it had been | locked from the inside the night before. | Mr. Farber told detectives he was pre- | pared for something out of the ordinary today. His wife woke him up at § o'clock this morning, screaming for po- lice.
