A chase at high speed of a soldier attached to Bolling Field through Ana- costia by a motor cycle policeman of | the eleventh precinct, in the course of which the speeding automobile col- lided with another car, but continued on its way without stopping, ended this morning with the machine turning completely over as it rounded a sharp turn after reaching the field. Louis A. Anderson, 22 years old, the soldier, was uninjured except for a slight scalp wound. He was arrested by Policeman E. T. Rees, who was pur- suing him, and charged with joyriding, leaving after colliding, reckless driving and operating without a permit. In Police Court today he was held under $1,500 bond for the grand jury on the Joyriding charge. Rees was patroling his beat on his motor cycle about 4 o'clock this morn- ing when he saw Anderson get into an automobile parked in front of No. 25 engine house at Fourth and Alabama avenue southeast and drive away. Suspecting that the machine, which was later found to belong to Fiieman Frank A. Blondi, was being stolen, ti officer started off in pursuit. Louking behind and sceing Rees, Anderson is said to have increased his speed until. reaching Nichols avenue and Esther place southeast, he collided with the parked car of C. L. Satterfield, 1213 I street southeast. No one was in the automobile. Without lessening his pace, he con- tinued on, turning into Sumner road and speeding on to Bolling Field, with Rees close behind him. Upon arriving at the field a sharp curve in the road confronted Anderson. Swinging far to the wrong side of the road, he turned the wheel suddenly and the machine capsized. Leaping from his motor cycle, Rees pulled Anderson from underneath the car and hurried him to the post head- quarters.’ Capt. L. M. Field was sum- moned and treated the man at the dispensary for a mincr cut on his head. Anderson was then turned over to the policeman and taken to the eleventh precinct, where he was lodgd in a cell. At noon today no disposition had been made of the traffic charges against him.

Booth became head of the Sal- vation Army in 1912 upon the death of He was born at |y Halifax, Yor , in 1856 and became an officer in the Army in 1874, being sppointed chief of staff in 1880. Traveled Extensively. As general, he traveled extensively on behalf of the Army in Europe. the United States, Canada, India, Australia and New Zealand. He o a mln'!o;ymm for officers in the or- ganizal and did much to develop Yor- eign missions. Gen. became ill with influenza in April of last year and was orderad to take a rest. He appeared to improve, but in November his condition became m and for a long time his death was On ‘November 15, the high council, which had been nominally in existence for 24 years, but had never been called, was summoned to its present meeting. ‘The leader of the reform movement which sought to amend the Army con- stitution and was urging the general’s retirement was Comdr. Evangeline Booth, the general’s sister, and the head of the Army in the United States. How Bramwell Booth was first led to take an interest in the Salvation Army shelters—which were the beginning of the most typical institutions connected with the Army’s social work, is told in his own writings. Shamed by Father. One mo) back in the eighties he was an early caller at his father’s house in Clapton, East London. “Bramwell,” cried my father, “did you know that men slept out all night on the bridges in London?” “Well, yes,” young Booth replied, “a lot of poor fellows, I suppose, do that.” “Then, you ought to be ashamed of 1f to have known it and to have done nothing for them,” he went on ve- hemently. “Go and do something; we must do something. Get them a shel- ter. Get hold of a warehouse and warm it, and find something to cover them. But, mind, Bramwell, no coddling.” ‘The work of assisting the destitute, then begun, has been continued since on an_ever-in scale, Bramwell Booth's relations with the first general were unusual. He was not only his eldest son, but one of his offi- cers for nearly 40 years of the hurly- burly of a strenuous campaign, and his chief of staff for more than 30 years. Their co-operation over so long a period and on so varied & fleld of activity was somewhat remarkable, especially as it “ was known that their temperaments were different and their points of view | by no means always the same. Father Was Unrivaled. Bramwell Booth was a great traveler and preacher in_ furtherance of the| army’s mission. During the period of his generalship he personally visited nearly every field of army activity. Twice he circled the world, conducting extensive campaigns in Ceylon, Aus- tralia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States, India and the Far East. But active, energetic and enthusiastic though he was, h> was not able to rival his father, who ‘)renchud during his 60 years of evangelistic campaigning, on an estimate, between fifty and sixty thousand sermons. Bramwell Booth came into contact with most of the leading personalities of his time. Both the great Lord Salis- bury and Lord Oxford and Asquith had spoken to him about the progress of the army and each had expressed his ‘well wishes for his success. At the coronation of King Edward VII and again at the coronation of King George, he represented the Salva- tion Army. On March 4, 1926, a few days before his seventieth birthday, Gen. Booth re- celved the freedom of Halifax, the town in which he was born on March 8, 1856. Help to Sightseers.

A youthful American genius has come | to Washington. Yehudi Menuhin, 11- year-old viclinist, arrived here late Tues- day night. The first thing this little boy, who is a great artist, wanted to see was the Spirit of Sj. Louis, Col.} i the famous transatlantic flight. Yehudi| spent yesterday morning seeing some | of the outstanding sights of Washington | and meeting President Coolidge at noon, under guidance of Representative Flgr- | ence Kahn of California, where the | Menuhin family makes its home. The Lincoln Memorial also held spe- | cial interest for little Yehudi. The child | is reading with keen enjoyment “The Life of Abraham Lincoln,” written by Carl Sandburg. Today Yehudi looked forward to a long auto ride which he hopes will include a visit at the Zoo, where he may see the baby gorilla, | Ni'gl. Tomorrow afternoon Yehv i will | give his initial concert in Wask.ngton, one of 10 culled from offers of 200, | to be given by him this year. Father Guides Boy. The above may give some general j idea of the varied cultural background, the advanced academic outlook, yet the normal child’s reaction to other in- terests, that has made this boy a genius | and not just another “child prodigy.” For this achievement, a trinity is re- sponsible: First, the wise father, Moshe Menuhin, who has carefully, earnestly and with utmost sincerity and highest jdeals guided his child's steps in every dircotion; secondly, his teacher. Louls | Persinger, of whom Arthur Nikisch said. “the splendid young violinist, one of thé most talented pupils the Leipzig { Conservatory ever has had,” and third- , the perfect artistic and physical equipment of the child himself. Mr. Menuhin remarked in an inter- view yesterday that many children of marked talent in one particular line are ruined ‘by their parents losing the proper sense of proportion and blindly praising and spoiling their children, not protecting them from outside harm- ful flattery or co-operating with their teachers to bring about the best possible results for the child’s normal growth in every direction as well as in_the particular art in which he has a talent. “Often I sacrifice the true, instinctive reaction as a parent in this endeavor to bring Yehudi up in the best possible | way,” said Mr. Menuhin. “There are times after a concert when I would like to throw my arms about him and tell him the beauty of his playing, but I dare not; it would ruin everything. Instead, I say: “Yes, you played quite well, Yehudi, but you can do better.” Also, Mrs. Menuhin and I have to realize that we can not accept presents as private individuals for Yehudi. He might have the most wonderful collec- son of instruments, if we did so. But we will not compromise a step. As it is I know (but Yehudi does not) that when we return to San Francisco from this tour, a marvelous $60,000 Stradivarius will be awaiting him, donated by a benefactor who will re- main unknown to the public.” Parent Has Real Job. This business of being parent to a genius is a full-fledged job. Mr. Menuhin gave up a position as super- intendent of the Hebrew schcols of San Francisco to undertake it. Both Mr. and Mrs. Menuhin, who as a young couple came to America from Palestine, are fond of music, although neither is_gifted in that art.

Almost simultaneously it was reveal- ed in Paris that the latest project of the Fokker aviation firm was a non- stop flight in the same direction from Paris to Paris, possibly in June, when it was believed the best weather would be_encountered. Both projects call for refueling planes at intervals along the 24,000-mile route. Goebel made no announcement of where attendant planes would be sta- tioned. A fairly definite idea of the route of the projected Fokker flight was contained in announcement that at- tendant ships would be located at Alep- po, in Syria; Karachi and Calcutta, in India; Hongkong, in China, Viadivostock, Petropaviovsk and Kamchatka, in Si- beria, and, if a northern route across North America is selected, at Prince Rupert or Voncouver, Winnipeg and St. John’s, Newfoundland. If the southern route is preferred, stations would be at Chicago and New York, it was said. The Fokker's attendant ships would mect the world traveler in the air and accompany it for such distance as re- quired for refueling and resupply. Col.

Not a murmur was heard from him during the entire concert. The child’s behavior being so excellent, the parents took him with them the next week and every week there was a concert Yehudl attended.

Vhen Yehudi was about 4 and still stubbornly teasing for a violin, his grandmother bought him one. A fiddler friend of the Menuhin's began giving him lessons. Within a few weeks the child covered several months’ study. He kept insisting that he wanted to study with Mr. Persinger. At last the famous violinist heard the child play and agreed to teach him.

Draper, who presided, appointed three com- mittees to summarize the reports of the conference and make definite recom- mendations as to what steps should be taken in attacking the problems involved in future epidemics. One of these committees was desig- nated to study the phases of epidemi- ology, the other from the viewpoint of prevention and the third will report on_research activities. Despite the fact that the conference met coincidently with an announce- ment from the Census Bureau showing a sharp increase in the number of deaths from influenza for the week just ended, Dr. Draper read a statement prepared by Surgeon General Cumming in which he drew a far more encour- aging picture of the existing epidemic, though warning at the same time of future developments. Not Particularly Severe. “The present epidemic is proving not to be particularly severe as far as loss cd life is concerned,” Surgeon General Cummings’ report said, “and the public may rest assured there need be but littie cause for apprehension on the part of the average individual. “At the present time the reports in- dicate that the disease is diminishing in those States which first reported it, is increasing in most other parts of the country and is still extending toward the East. Apparently the epidemic has passed its peak in many of the Western and Central States, but the incomplete- ness of the reports and the fact that the reports from different States are not comparable add to difficulties of interpreting the figures and make pre- dictions hazardous.” With approximately 4,000 cases re- ported for the week ending November 10, Dr. Cumming indicated the preva- lence of the disease by citing figures showing 196,000 cases reported last week, making the significant total of 824,000 since the epidemic started around San Francisco, “Notwithstanding the present com- paratively mild form of the prevalent disease,” his statement read, “we are not justified in failing to take cogni- zance that a more severe type fluenza, with a higher rate of mortality, may follow in the weeks or months to come, when the degree of our knowl- edge may be a determining factor in the lives of countless individuals.” PRSP, “Sea Serpent” Caught.
