Virginians Compete. ‘The fifth of the 11 finalists in The Star's Sixth National Oratorial Con- test was chosen at Western High School shortly. before noon today, when a board |of three judges adjudged Vladimir Boris Grinioff, 17-year-old son of & Russian family, victor in that school's finals. By virtue of his victory at Western, which, like-each of the District of Co- lumbia public high schools constitutes a contest “district” within itself, Grini- off won $100 in cash and the right to compete in The Star's finals April 25 for the three-month tour of South America next Summer. Victorious in this newspaper’s finals, he would com- pete also in the national finals in the Washington ~Auditorium late next month. old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Thomp- son of 1875 Mintwood place, won sec- ond honors at Western and the position of alternate to the school's victor. Virginia Contest Is Held. ‘The Western High School finals were held folowing the second Virginia group meet, which was held last night at Leesburg and from which Thomas Ed- ward Taylor of the Lincoln High School emerged victor. Taylor is 17 years old and the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Taylor of Lincoln. By virtue of his vic- tory over four other contestants who fought in last night’s meet, Taylor ad- vances to the Virginia district finals, to be held at the Washington-Lee High School at Ballston Friday, April 19. ‘The third Virginia group meet will be held at 8 o'clock tonight in the auditorium of the Maury Elementary School in Alexandria, where five orators will compete for the right to enter the Virginia finals. Order of Speaking Listed. In the order in which they will speak | and their orations, they are: Margaret Shepherdson of George Ma- son High School of Del Ray, on “Lin- coln and the Constitution”; Helen, Detwiler of the Clifton High School, on “The Constitution—A Guar- antee of the Liberty of the Individual”; Cathryn Tobin of the Fairfax High School, on Constitution’ Carey Howard Blackwell of the Alex- andria High School, on “The Develop- ment and Purpose of the Constitution,” and John Trevett Allen of the Swavely Preparatory School of Manassas, on “Public Responsibility to the Constitu~ f | tion.” Emerick Opens Meeting. Last night's meeting at Leesburg was opened by O. L. Emerick, superintend- pressed his gratification at the efforts and study expended by the five con- testants in preparing their orations. Miss Sarah LefTerts, representing the Leesburg High School, was first called upon to make her bid for forensic honors in, the contest. She spoke of “Origins.'of the Constitution” with a calm that bespoke the unafrald speaker. She used 9 minutes and 15 seconds in the delivery of her speech. Miss Maxine Hazel Barton of the Round Hill High School was the sec- ond orator on the program and her de- | livery was similar to Miss Lefferts’. ‘There was much of the first girl's calm and her absence of gesture, but there may have been slightly more anima- tion. Both girls had elected to use the quiet type of oratory often referred to as “modern.” Miss Barton spoke on “The Origin of the Constitution.” Taylor Is Third Speaker. ‘Young Taylor, the winner, was third | speaker on the program. Following two | girls, his heavy masculine voice boomed out in the auditorium in contrasting tones. Despite its volume, Taylor’s voice was characterized last night by a qual- ity of softness and modulation that gave it richness and a highly pleasing quality. Speaking on “The Develop- ment of the Constitution,” this boy from the Lincoln High School used just 7 minutes of his allowed 10 minutes. ‘The surprise of the contest came in the showing put up by little Miss Clara Conard of the Hillsboro Junior High School. She was the “baby” of last night's fleld, as she is only 15 years old and a student of a “junior” high school. But she went into her subject, “Origin of Our Constitution,” with a fire that singed the serene atmosphere. Her fervor got the better of her time, how- ever, and when the time signal sounded the end of the official 10 minutes she | seemed still several paragraphs from her conclusion. But this girl is only a first-year high school student and her age limit will permit four years more of contesting, so other Northern Vir- ginla orators had better keep their eyes upon her. Miss Compher Speaks Earnestly. ‘The concluding speech of the meet was delivered by Miss Maxine Compher of the Waterford High School, who spoke on “Origins of the Constitution.” There was a quiet earnestness about Miss Compher as she presented her oration and it must have carried weight to the judges, who gave her second place. She used 6 minutes and 55 sec- d: | onds of her time. The judges were Rev. Sanford L. Rotter of The Plains, Rev. G. P. Craig- hill of Leesburg and Dr. Harold Golder, professor of English at American Uni- veulty. ‘Washington. Mrs. Arthur Jenkins gave a vocal 3}: and Mrs. John R.

And the orators who followed her kept up the standards and gave her competition. Miss Wheeler attained expression with interesting turns of inflection. There was a maturity about her voice which gave a finesse not often recognized in high school student speeches. Miss Margaret Adams Olney was Western’s second contestant to take the stage. She spoke on “The Development of the Constitution” in a voice that re- mained in a fairly high key throughout her speech. There was perhaps less of the maturity which characterized Miss Wheeler’s voice, but there was a dis- tinctive charm about this second speak- er's voice. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Olney of 719 Thirteenth street. The third speaker, and the first of the. three boys on the program, was Edwin C. McClintock, jr. Although he did not “place” among the announced winners, this 15-year-old sophomore put up a fight with his oration on “The Citizen: His Privileges and Duties Under the Constitution” that bids fair to | make him one of Western's strongest hopes for the next two years. He is the son of Dr. McClintack, retired dentist, and Mrs. McClintock of 1400 North Oak street, Clarendon, Va. Thompson Speaks. ‘Thompson, winner of second honors, wes the fourth orator to offer his forensic bid. A tall, manly-appearing lad with a resonant voice, Thompson eased into his speech with a conver- sational tone which characterized his entire delivery. He brought his ora- tion up to the minute by declaring that the people of the United States today are fast approaching tyranny in the ever-widening circle of legisla- tion, which threatens such constitution- al principles as personal liberty, free- dom of speech and freedom of the press, “Europe,” he said, “is watching us with astonishment as we forge our own shackles” by allowing minorities to rule through indifference to the voice and prlvueges the Constitution guaran- tees its people. Grinioff was the concluding speaker. His oration on “Forward, America!” was rich in its personality. There was expression in his speech and an ear- nestness that was convincing, that here in this son of a former Russian noble- man, who was an official of old Rus- sia’s embassy here before the World ‘War, and who since has died amidgwar- imposed misfortune here, was a convic- tion of his beliefs and assertions. Grinioff considered the Constitution as a living organ, capable of change to meet the modern times, and he de- clared that if the Constitution’s framers had a huge task in creating it, present- day Americans have the greater task of protecting themselves as individuals under it. Grinioff now lives with his mother, Mrs, Olga Grinioff, at 1523 Twenty- second street, and he is one of the most popular students at Western. srame METAL PORCHES REMODELED :: REPAIRED BUILT :: ENCLOSED 20 MONTHS TO PAY REASONABLE PRICES ° TERMS, Exhibit Home st.

NEW YORK, April 10.—Vindication for his part in the draft-Coolidge move- | ment was seen today by Charles D.| Hilles, Republican national wmml!mw man from New York, in Calvin cool- idge’s Cosmopolitan Magazine article in | which he told why he did not choose to | run. Mr. Hilles was leader of the Coolidge | movement and only swung his support to Herbert Hoover when told at the con- | vention by Everett Sanders, secretary to the President, that Mr. Coolidge did not desire State delegations to vote for him. Coolidge Sent Sanders. In his magazine article Mr. Coolidge told of sending Mr. Sanders to the con- vention to notify leaders of his wishes in order to forestall a possible nomina. tion by the convention. Mr. Hilles said that until Mr. Sanders’ | visit to him he did not know whether | President Coolidge wanted to be re- nominated. “I believe I was justified, previous t recelving that message from Sande: sald Mr. Hilles, “in the Presi- dent would accept the nomination. “He had refused to amplify his state. ment that he did not choose to run. One of my friends asked him directly if he would turn down the nornlnluon in case the convention drafted him. Mr. Coolidge looked this man straight | in the eye and never blinked. But he didn’t say a word. Believed Coolidge Undecided. “I thought then, and Mr. Coolidge’s | statement in the Cosmopolitan vindi- cates me, that he had not fully decided and that he probably would have looked upon such a draft as a call to an in- escapable duty.” Mr. Hilles said that the Sunday prior to the convention Senator Butler, at that time chairman of the Republican | intended to vote for Mr. |a conference between Judge Joseph C. Coolidge. | Asked whether he thought the President | would accept, he replied, “Z think 50.” | Mr. Hilles said the delegate then de- clared he would advise the Hoover dele- | gates to cast their first ballot for Cool- idge, convinced that Hoover could not win while the candidacy of the Presi- dent hung flre. | TRIAL OF KREITZER SET FOR TUESDAY By a Staft Correspondent of The Star.

By.the Associated Press. MANAGUA, Nicaragua, April 10.— Explanations at marine headquarters of reports of the bombing of Las Limas, Honduras, today contained a version of the affair different from that which has caused excitement at Tegucigalpa, capital of Honduras. The marine reports said that on March 31 as airplanes reconnoitered near the Nicaraguan-Honduran border they were fired on by outlaws in the vicinity of Brajil, which is near Las Limas, A bullet struck the plane and “s group of bandits was bombed by the Uhited States Marines, destroying ene shack in that area.” o ‘The Marine headquarters statement further quoted Nicaraguan government officials as sl tlu'- the region in which the two are located is 50 close to the border that it is claimed by both Honduras and Nicaragua. Neither govemment has officlals in either village, although Nicaraguan and Honduran forces have co-operated along the border area in stamping out the auulv bnm u fealin Teguc was that l.u as, which was mentioned as in Honduras, was bombed by Marine planes.

ANDREWS SEES LAW MADE T0 FIT CRIME Prohibition Counsel Urges i Enforcement of Jones- Stalker Measure. ‘The Jones-Stalker bill is neither “a miraculous panacea that will of its own force eradicate the curse of illegal Hlquor traffic,” nor is it “the culminating act of a narrow-iinded and prejudiced set of hypocrites designed to deprive law-abiding citizens of their personal | ¢ liberties and visit upon them the hor- rors .of the Spanish Inquisition,” Bert W. Andrews, assistant counsel of the Prohibition Bureau, declared in defend- ing the measure befors the gquarterly convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of the District of Columbia in Bethany Baptist Church yesterday afternoon. “Much has been said about the Jones- Stalker law. which is misl ,” Mr. Andrews declared, adding that “in fact, it is a well tomldcrzd and orderly ef- fort on the part of Congress to give Federal judges the power to make the punishment fit the crime.” Says Law Should Curb Crime. ‘The law, declared the speaker earlier in his address, “should have a whole- some effect in curbing crime by deterring people from criminal attempts, The fear of imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term of years and realization that such punishment will come swiftly and surely will tend to paralyze the activities of the commercial bootlegger,” he continued.
