TRIBUTES ARE PAID 10 EMANCIPATOR { Services Tomorrow and Wed- nesday Night at Lincoln Memorial Set. Observance of the birthday of Abra- { ham Lincoln has been stretched out in the National Capital to four days, with two services yesterday especially de- voted to tributes fo the great emanci- pator, and plans under way for simple but impressive services tomorrow noon at the Lincoln Memorial, and other ceremonies Wednesday night. Senator Shortridge of California will ceremonies tomorrow noon, Lincoln’s trict of Columbia Commandery, Military Order of the Loyal Legion. The Na- tional Sojourners also will place a wreath at the shrine tomorrow noon. The services at the memorial will in- clude in addition to the address by Senator Shortridge, music by the Army Band, presentation of the colors and the laying of wreaths on the stejs of the memorial. Asked to Display Flags. The organization behind the -ere- monies has also requested all business establishments to display sidewalk flags tomorrow. Authority for the display of these flags was recently granted by th» District Commissioners at the request of the Loyal Legion. The Sojourners’ vreath will be laid by Capt. George F. Unmacht, president of Washington Chapter, No. 3. The So- journers will hold a meeting in honor of Lincoln Wednesday evening at the Army and Navy Club. Representative | Ketcham of Michigan will speak on Lincoln. Maj. Gen. John L. Clem will |relate personal anecdotes concerning Lincoln. O. H. Oldroyd, famous col- | lector of Lincoln relics, will speak, and | Capt. Unmacht will preside. terday Lincoln was characterized as a “providential man” by Dr. James Shera Montgomery, chaplain of the House, at a sermon at Metropolitan Memorial Methodist Church. Dr. Montgomery said: “The secret of Abraham Lincoln is a mystery. Neither circumstances nor environment explain him. There is only one explanation to be made, and that he is that he was a providential man. This is the only natural basis upon which he can under- | |stand the Great Emancipator.” Responsive Readings. “He was a pioneer,” said Dr. Mont- gomery, “on the borderline of the Re- public. In a single sentence he set a fine example to the public men of this | Nation, and this was it: ‘I authorize no bargains, and will be bound by none.’” Dr. Montgomery praised Lincoln not only as belonging to America, but to| the ages. The service, which was held under auspices of the Hoover and Curtis Club | and the Republican State eommittee, in- | cluded also responsive reading by for- mer Senator Rice Means, and benedic- tion by Rev. Edmund P. Easterbrook, ;hie! of chaplains of the United States rmy.

CROWDS GATHER AT DOCK Chamber of Deputies Makes U. S. President-Elect Guest of Nation. Note-—Greater light and clearer perspective on Herbert Hoover’s trip to South America, in which untold diplomatic advantages were recorded for the United States, are to be gained from the interesting story | written by Rex Collier, The Star’s own representative on the trip, which began January 20. The story, with all its intimate details, will continue in The Star until completed. | BY REX COLLIER. | Peru, stepping from her glamorous | background of antiquity into the light | of modern-day progress, sent heralds | of the sky and sea to gret the Ameri- | can pilgrimage of good will. | _Across mountains which once were | the rugged empire of the semi-civilized | | Incas, the enterprising republic sent an airplane with a letter of welcome from | her distinguished President, and from waters which long ago harbored ships |of the Spanish invaders, she sent the | flagship of her navy to salute her hon- ored guests and be their escort. | The plane, in performing its proud | mission, blazed a trail from Peru to | Ecuador for a new airmail service, and the letter of salutation from President | Augusto Leguia to President-elect Hoo- ver was the first to be delivered over a x‘x]ew route, linking Lima and Guaya- quil. ' As the Maryland emerged from the Gulf of Guayaquil she was met by the trim Peruvian cruiser, Almirante Grau, which paid her respects with a 21-gun salute and then swung in to the rear and to the starboard of the American battleship. The Maryland did not fire her guns, as the salute was a personal tribute to President.elect Hoover, re- quiring.no reply. American Officer on Peruvian Warship. An American naval officer was on board the Peruvian warship, the party learned. He was a member of a naval mission sent by the United States to serve in an -advisory capacity with the Peruvian navy. The mission has been on duty in Peru for a number of years, at the extended invitation of that gov- ernment. Peru's navy, it was explained, em- braced two cruisers, a number of gun- boats and three submarines. The men naval warfare and were dressed in uni- forms closely resembling those of Uncle Sam’s Navy. The members of the naval mission hold commissions in both the American and Peruvian navies and received pay from both. The rank be- stowed upon the Americans invariably were several grades higher than that of their American service. A 700-mile stretch of sea separated Guayaquil and Callao, the port of Lima. The voyage was a pleasant one, as the ocean was tranquil and the air was tempered by the Humboldt current, whose chilly waters come from the bleak Anarctic regions. It was getting 5o cool of nights that overcoats and sweaters were necessary to enjoy the open-air movies in comfort. Mountain Treasures Still Hold Lure. The Maryland followed the coastline faithfully, but at such a respectful dis- trance that the distant mountains scarcely were visible to the naked eye. These Sierras, running longitudinally through Peru, divide the country into distinct geographical areas. From the sea to the Andes is a narrow strip of barren coast, perhaps 40 miles wide, now being opened to cultivation under a program of irrigation sponsored by President Leguia. The mountain region has balmy plateaus where crops abound and the mountains themselves still offer the lure of gold and silver, as they did in the days of Pizarro. Beyond, on the eastern slope, are tropical jungles, drained by the headwaters of the great Amazon and inhabited by savage tribes of Indians. The good, will battleship put into Callao Harbor early on the morning of December 5 and dropped anchor off the mouth of the Rimac River, up which Francisco Pizarro had sailed in 1535 to found the City of Lima, eight miles from Callao. That was following his bloody invasion of the Inca Empire —a conquest climaxed by the murder of the Inca chieftain, Atahualpa, after he had filled a room with gold in hope of ransom. As shore batteries roared their salutes and seaplanes in military formation dipped overhead, the President-elect received on the Maryland a Peruvian reception committee, headed by the president of the cabinet, Dr. Pedro Jose Rada y Gamio, minister of foreign affairs. - At 9 o'clock, the Hoover barge set out for the shore through a lane of Peruvian naval vessels and merchant craft decorated with rainbow-hued pen- nants. Even the trio of submarines had pennants fluttering from their periscopes. Path Through Crowds Cleared. The stern-looking troops and gen- darmes had cleared a path through the immense crowds gathered at the con- crete dock where the party was to debark. The pathway led straight ahead for several hundred feet to the public square, known as the Plaza Grau, where the mayor and council of the City of Callao waited to extend a formal welcome. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover walked down the line of saluting troops to a colon- nade in the heart of the plaza, where a band in naval uniform brought the throng to attention with the national airs of the United States and Peru. Then the frock-coated mayor, Dr, Carlos Roe, stepped forward and voiced cordial sentiments of greeting on behalf of the town council and the citizens of the port. Alexander P. Moore, the American Ambassador, also shook hands with the party, and a number of mem- bers of the American naval mission were introduced, along with their thoroughly enthused families. As though Peru had not already made her welcome emphatic enough, a com- mittez from the Chamber of Deputies handed to Mr. Hoover an official scroll announcing the action of the Peruvian Congress in voting the American Presi- dent-elect the status of a “guest of the nation” and declaring a national holi- day in his honor. The port ceremonies were brief, and immediately on their conclusion, Mr. and Mrs. Hoover were assisted into a new American automobile and driven at breakneck speed to Lima. They must have covered those 8 miles in 8 minutes or less. The entire length of fine concrete highway was lined with copper-faced cavalrymen, who snapped to attention as the caravan whizzed past. Tollgate Causes Tangle, ' Midway there was a toligate, but the presidential automobile never slackened speed. That iollgate, however, played havoc with the plans of other members OPENS AIR MAIL LINE WITH LE ber of the latter had been delayed in starting from Callao and the chauffeurs had found the boulevard crowded with private automooiles speeding toward Lima. One of the delayed cars con- tained the American cameramen, who were to have fcllowed alongside the Hoover automopilc as it entered the capital. All the private cars in front had to be checked through the toll- gate, one by one, before the reviaining official automobiles could get through. The ride carried the party through a section of open farming country, fenced in with gray adobe walls and spotted with small huts of adobe. Groups of children with American flags waved as the machines sped by. In the outskirts of Lima the auto- mobiles passed under banners bearing words of welcome and past buildings gayly draped with the flags of the United States and Peru. The approach was through a new residential section, whose homes were of adcbe, stuccoed white, with pretty patios shaded by graceful palms and luxurfant with flowers. The crowds that lined the route increased as the procession neared the center of the city, and the narrow streets of the an- cient section of the city around the Plaza de San Martin were so densely populated that the spectators had diffi- culty elbowing their way along the sidewalks. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover were driven di- rect to the American embassy, while These picturesque carriages, once used’by Spanish vicero; President-elect Hoover and President Leguia through th MODERN PERU SENDS HERALDS OF SKY AND SEA TO MEET HOOVER GOOD-WILL PARTY AS PLANE.

This hostelry, one of the most modern in South America, was erected not long ago by private cap- ital, it was learned, but the government was now supporting it because, although a losing proposition, it was deemed a national asset. Mr. Hoover’s immediate official circle was to have lunch with President Leguia at the embassy, and the other mem- bers of his party, including correspond- ents and photographers, were invited to a state luncheon at the Zoological Park, where there was a prominent restaurant. In the meantime there was shopping to do and considerably to the surprise of all it was found that most of Lima's shops were open, despite the holiday. It was a joyful discovery, for efforts to collect souvenirs in the other places vis- ited had been frustrated by the sus- pension of business. On inquiry it was learned that the shops had been per- mitted to remain open for the special benefit of the Hoover party. Before lunchtime many members of the mission had collected all sorts of bundles containing Indian rugs, Inca pottery, silverware and ouner native ob- Jects of art. It was a very profitable morning for Lima’s numerous dealers in_ Peruvian anmiultles, but one which left them nearly exhausted. Striking a bargain by means of the sign language requires real mental and physical exertion, they found. ' (Copyright, 1929, by The Evening Star.) NAVY TO BUY COLUMN IN MEMORIAL EDIFICE Obligated to Raise $2,500 for New ‘Women's World War Building Now Under Construction. ‘The Navy has obligated itself to raise $2,500 to purchase a column in the entrance hall of the new Women’s ‘World War Memorial, now under con- struction near the headquarters of the American Red Cross, and Secretary Wilbur today dispatched a letter to various units of the service, inviting contributions. The naval contributions are to be distributed as follows: The Battle Fleet is to give $1,000; Scouting Fleet, $500; Asiatic Fleet, $289; Special Service Squadron, $55, with other sums ap- portioned among the various naval dis- tricts. In the Marine Corps, the Marine Barracks at Quantico, Va., is to give $33; the Parris Island, S. C., post, $25; the post at San Diego, $25; from the Marine Brigade in Nicaragua, $130; from the Marine Regiment at Shanghai, $90, and $18 from the Marine detach- ment at Peking. ‘The Army has given 42,700 to pur- chase one of the four black and white marble columns that will grace the entrance hall of the memorial. TWO WOMEN REVIVED BY FIRE RECUE SQUAD One Is Found Suffering From Gas Poisoning, Other From Pneumonia. Two young women were revived by the fire rescue squad Saturday night after one was found In a semi-conscious condition from gas poisoning and the other gasping for breath from the ef- fects of pneumonia. Miss Estelle Collins, 22, of 758 Sixth street southeast was revived 25 minutes after she was found in the kitchen of her home with gas pouring from a range. Removed to Casualty Hospital, she was released yesterday after treat- ment. Police believe she was accident- ally overcome by the gas. The other woman, Mrs. Francis E. ‘Yeager, 24, of 2005 Douglas street north- east, was revived by the squad after working with oxygen inhalators for 3 hours and 45 minutes Saturday night. Mrs. Yeager's breathing became diffi- cult while suffering from pneumonia, and Dr. Rush W. Conklin, 3100 Twen- tieth street northeast, summoned the squad. After the long treatment ner breathing became normal again. 10 years Originators they were of the of the party, in automobiles to the rear. Lima hud sent her American traffic ex- pert to Callao to arrange the right-of- way for the score of official cars which were to carry the members of the mis- sion to the capital, but even an Ameri- can traffic expert could not untangle the jam that resulted when adamant offi- cials at the gate closed it before all of | thg official cars were through. A num: REMOVAL OF MARKET DENIED BY DOUGHERTY Leaflets Containing Such Informa. tion Were not Authorized, Com- missioner Tells Roberts. George M. Roberts, superintendent of weights, measures and markets, today reported to Commissioner Dougherty that large numbers of leaflets had been found at the Farmers’ Market at Eleventh and B streets, stating that on and after February 14 the Farmers’ Market would be moved to Fifth and K streets northwest. The leaflets were printed and were not signed or otherwise identified. Mr. Roberts reported that the marketmaster had informed all farmers at the market that the information was incorrect. Commissioner Dougherty told news- paper men there was no authority for the leaflets, and that the statements they carried were not true. A bill to locate the market in the Southwest section is now pending in Congress, he sald, and until some action is taken on that no change in the present arrange- ment is contemplated. o GAS FROM CROPS SEEN. Virtual Exhaustion of Petroleum Supply in 16 Years Forecast. ST. LOUIS (#).— Automobile fuel from farm crops is predicted by Dr. Isaac Lippincott, professor of economic research at Washington University. Petroleum supplies virtually will be exhausted within 16 years, he believes. Even before that time, in Dr. Lippin- cott’s opinion, “It will be necessary to look to farm crops for automobile fuel.” If chemistry transforms crops into equivalents of gasoline, as well as corn fiber into paper, Dr. Lippincott be- lieves the farmer’s financial future is assured. . 1927 Ford Roadster. 1927 Ford Tudy S 1926 Ford Touring. 1925 Ford Fords o 12 HILL & TIBBITTS Open Sundays and Evenings 301 Fourteenth St. SOL : HERZOG.:lk“ E INC.

F Street at Q¢h GUNS FOR CRUISERS WILL EMPLOY MANY Navy Yard Would Be Assured of Abundant Work on Construction. Construction of the guns for the 15 new cruisers authorized by Congress, | but for which the appropriation has not yet been made, will provide the Washington Navy Yard with abundant work over the period during which the ships will be under construction, it | was learned today. All the guns for the new ships will be made in the local yard, the only naval gun factory in the country. This work, with the regular replace- ment work which has for the last two or three years kept upward of 4,000 skilled mechanics busy at the yard, will assure at least four or five years of ac- tivity at the present rate, or at a slightly increased rate, it was stated. Guns for the eight cruisers previously authorized under the current cruiser program are now being made at the factory. How much larger the force must be to undertake the work of manufacturing the guns for the new cruisers was not known at the Navy Yard today. DR. WILLIAM J. COOPER ASSUMES OFFICE TODAY Califernian Will Be Formally In- stalled as U. S. Commissioner of Education This Afternoon.

Acker. chief clerk of the Interior Department. The cere- mony will be held in the office of Sec- retary West. Dr. Cooper, who was formerly State superintendent of education of Cali- fornia, reached Washington this morn- ing. He was appointed to head the Bureau of Education by President Cool- idge on January 12 and the Senate con- firmed this choice on January 18. ‘The Californian will succeed Dr. John J.
