Huls: who will be engineer | officer of the flight, was a visitor at the aeronautics branch of the Department | of Commerce Saturday. At that time he intimated that plans for the flight are fairly well under way. He refused to discuss any of the details of the plan with Government officials, however, and the arrangements are being held secret. | Secrecy Veils Plans. Capt. Lyon, a frequent visitor to this city, has not made any mention of the | s to Commerce Department officials. O'Connell, it was stated at the | Navy Department, is on duty at Lake- hurst and nothing is known here about his plans. The hints which have been dropped | by Lieut. Hulse have served to rekindle | interest in the non-stop round-the- world project which has been planned | by sevcral American fiyers or aviation groups. | The Army is planning to apply the refueling-in-flight principle to the long- range bombing airplane demonstration to be made May 21 from Dayton, Ohio, to New York and return without land- ing, in connection with the annual Spring maneuvers of the Army Air | Corps in Ohio. The big bombing plane is to be refueled twice during its 1,500~ mile flight, both times at Middletown, Pa., where the Air Corps has an air depot. The Fokker aircraft interests, repre- senting the manufacturers of Fokker planes of the Question Mark type, are said to be planning a flight around the world from Paris ty Paris by way of Aleppo, Karachi, Calcutta, Hongkong, Via<ivostok, Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka, Prince Rupert, Vancouver, Winnipeg and St. Johns, Newfoundland. Re- fueling planes would be posted at each of these points, according to the tenta- tive plans, May Use 5-Motored Plane. Col. Arthur C. Goebel, winner of the Dole trophy race from the United States to Hawali, announced last January that he had signed a contract with a Wichita aircraft company for construction of a plane to be used in a non-stop flight around the world. The plans called for a tri-motored plane to have a cruising range of 2,000 miles on one load of fuel and a speed of 150 miles per hour. The plane to be used by the Hulse group, it is understood, will have five motors, being of the Ford and Fokker type transport plane, with a single mo- tor in the nose and pairs of motors in tandem under the wing. The plane is to be designed to fly on any three en- gines, leaving two in reserve. The flight is tentatively scheduled to begin next September, probably from New York, GANNETT BUYS PAPER.

Miss Van Coover was born in Pennsyl- vania, but when a small child, after the death of her father, she went to Paris with her mother, and there she re- ceived the education which has endowed her with a store of international | knowledge possessed by few Americans. She speaks five languages, and through | her linguistic ability she rendered in- Military ‘War. Miss Van Coover has circled the globe in her wanderings, led on by a love of | the unknown and a “wanderlust” ac- | quired by the adventurous life she has ed. Told Trip Impossible. It was while spending a Summer in Kashmir that she first conceived the idea of visiting Kabul. “I was told,” she said, “that it would be impossible for any white person to reach there alive. That aroused my interest and I determined to make the journey.” Before starting it was necessary to secure permission from the ruler of | Afghanistan to visit his country. It took three months before the visa was received from the Ameer, Amanullah, in Kabul. The trip was considered hopelessly dangerous and the British authorities refused to take any respon- sibility in the matter. So Miss Van Coover made her own arrangements. She journeyed to the border town of Peshawar, where she arranged with two members of the semi-barbarous Pathan tribe to conduct her through the difficult Khyber Pass into the King- dom of Afghanistan. The trip was made in a tonga, or two- wheeled cart, drawn by two horses. It took a day to travel through the pass and two weeks to reach the capital. Despite the fact that the mountain passes, sometimes reaching an altitude of 12,000 feet, were filled with outlaws and bandits, Miss Van Coover reached the capital without mishap. She was greeted cordially by the Ameer and his Queen, who entertained the American in their palace and bestowed upon her many gifts as symbols of their friend- ship. The Queen was particularly gra- cious, and showed the American visitor many glimpses of Afghan life, such as the royal harem, the girls’ school under royal patronage and other phases of the feminine side of the nation. It was with keen interest and no lit- tle trepidation that Miss Van Coover FIRST U 3.

Viewed Great Buddhas. A trip was made from Kabul to the ancient city of Bamian, 200 miles dis- tant from the capital and famous for the colossal statues of Buddha, which have been carved out of the cliffs of the Hindu-Kush Mountains. There are five of these statues, one of which is 178 feet high. Legen: has it that the statues were carved thousands of years ago by certain high priests who escap: from the lost continent of Atlantis. The figures were originally nude, but when the country was converted to Buddhism the priests draped the statues by plastering them with stucco. The mountain cliffs are also honey- combed with hundreds of caves built | by Buddhist priests. In addition to her travels throughout Europe and Asia, Miss Van Coover has had considerable experience in Mexico | and South America. During the revo- lution in Mexico in 1913 she lives for two weeks in Mexico City in a_house which was daily riddled with bullets ! and shrapnel. In Brazil she traveled for wecks into the wilderness where no foreigner had ever penetrated. An _interesting collection of jewels, carefully stored during her wanderings, has been acquired by iss Van Coover in her travels. Filigree work and pearls 'rom Mexico, aquamarine bracelet from io Janeiro, amber from Peking and Korea, a rare string of clouded amber from Constaninople, a mandarin neck- lace of filigree silver and enamel, an old cross reminiscent of Byzantine Em- perors, a scarab from Egypt and other rare pieces form interesting souvenirs of the places she has visited. Miss Van Coover’s collection of pass- ports alone, forms an interesting record of her travels. Visas from practically every country on the globe are to be found among them. WOMAN FINED §300 FOR'OBSCENE BOOK. Civil Liberties Union Director | Plans Test by Sending Hoover Copy. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 20.—Mrs, Mary | Ware Dennett, convicted for sending | obscene matter through the mails, to- day was fined $300 by Judge Warren B. | Burrows in Federal Court in Brookiyn. She was paroled in custody of her at- torney until Thursday, pending the filing of an appeal and posting of bail. The conviction last week of Mrs. Den- nett, who could have been fined $10,000 and sentenced to five years’ imprison- ment, was based on distribution of her pamphlet, “The Sex Side of Life,” which she said she wrote 14 years ago for the guidance of her two sons. She is 53 years old. ‘The pamphlet had been distributed for more than 10 years by the Y. M. C. A, churches and soclal organiza- tions, and had the indorsement of many educators, editors and social workers. The complaint against it which resulted in the conviction was made by a resident of Grottoes, Va. Roger Baldwin, director of the Ameri- can Civil Liberties Union, announced yesterday that a copy of “The Sex Side of Life” will be mailed to President Hoover over the signatures of more than 100 prominent men. Their signatures will be offered, he Europe Considers Jazz as “Official” Music of America U. S. Composers Practi- cally Unknown Aboard, Orchestra Leader Says. B the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 29.—Jazz is the only American music known in Europe, and even that is played very badly, said Sandor Harmati, director of the Omaha Symphony Orchestra, who returned with his wife today on the liner Laconia. For six weeks he was guest conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic and the Paris Symphony Orchestras. ‘The work of American serious com- posers is entirely unknown in Europe, he said. Since jazz is considered typical American music, he added, the Americans can do is to send a com- mittee of jazz musiclans to Europe to teach the continent how to play it. so that at least Europe may see jazz at its best light. Harmati believes it is time that Amer- icans acquaint Europe with the cultural side of American life, and show Euro- peans that there is sometihng here besides jazz and mechanical display. He does not believe that so-called “mechan- istic music” has any value for civilized persons. Civilized music, he said, re- quires melody, harmony and rhythm. said, with a view to their thus becom- ing voluntary violators of the law against sending obscene matter through the mails. Cuban Ambassador Is Expert With Blade, Country’s | Sport. Studied Under Leading Tu- tors in Italy, in Havana and in France.

S. Foreign Trade Shows! No Need of Controlling Source, Says Council. Dy the Associated Press. | NEW YORK, April 29.—The posi- | ition teken by Dr. Hjalmar Schacht lat the reparations conference that Cermany must have some guarantc: of her supply of essential import~d raw materials, presumably from storcd colonles, is described as contrary to the experience of the United Staic in a statement issued today by the Na- tional Foreign Trade Council, which is headed by James A. Farrell, pres dent of the United States Stecl Cor- poration. “The experience of the United States ught to carry conviction to every one,” | [says the council, “that political con- | | trol over raw material is not essential | to the industrial and commercial de- | velopment of any country. The growth | of the United States has not been | | based upon possession of colonies. The | | huge expansion of our industries has | not been dependent upon control by our | Government, of overseas territories pro- | ducing raw materials_essential to con- tinuity of occupation by our plants an- our labor. Malf Our Imports Cited. “Yet we are always the heaviest users of raw material of foreign origin in all the world. More than half our total imports are materials for indus- | try, and 40 per cent of the total is in | the crude form. It will not be denied | | that the United States is a fairly pros- | perous nation, and has become so without being, 2s Dr. Schacht says, ‘in a position to create for herself a basis entirely her own for raw materials overseas.’ | “Moreover, it is a fact that some 119 or 20 per cent of the total imports are essential raw materials that are always liable to a greater or less degree | of control by the foreign governmens~ | in whose territory the sources of pro- | duction are located. Potash from Ger- | | many is an illustration. Fate of Controls. “On several occaslons such control | has been actually exercised or attempt- cd. Our recourse, under such circum- | stances, has not been some form of | governmental retaliation, but rather public exposition of the unwisdom of | the control procedure. Every such con- | trol has in the end defeated itself, just as the British experiment with rubber did two or three years ago.” Quotingd President Hoover’s words, “the United States is more pledged to- day to open competition than anv other nation in the world,” the council | declares. “That is the obvious way out | for Germany, and not the construc- | tion of controlled reservoirs of raw | materials.” | SCHACHT MAY ASK CABINET’S OPINION ON HIGHER OFFICE| —_(Continued From First Page) the bank raised its discount rate. It was openly charged here at the time that certain French sources sought withdrawal of foreign capital from Ger- many. French newspapers charged that Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, who arrived in Berlin yesterday from Paris to attend the two meetings of the directorate, was trying to undermine the German financial structure and wrek the Dawes plan on ! l?e reef of its own transfer protection ! clause. i Schacht Keeps in Seclusion. __Such a statement as the bank does | | issue is expected here to conclude that the safeguards which have been placed around its operations preclude any pos- | sible great fall in the value of the mark. | It was claimed here yesterday that the bank's depleted gold supply was still 1,000,000,000 marks (about $240,000,000) in excess of the required 40 per cent of the mark circulation. Since his arrival here Dr. Schacht has kept in strict seclusion and so far as ascertainable having made no ap- | pointments save for the meetings of the board of directors of the bank of which he is president. It was insisted his coming early was purely for per- sonal reasons. Upholding this last contention, per- sons high in the Wilhemstrasse com- plained that the German delegation to tlile r;p:lrng’?s deomerence at Paris alone had adhered “possibly too rigidly” to the original idea of appointing eco- nomic experts to the conference to act idependently of their governments. The other delegations, they said, with the exception of the Americans, kept close to their governments and merely acted Jut the wishes of the politicians. WORK ON REPORT TEXTS. Debt Experts Expected to Clear Way for | New Conference. | PARIS, April 20 (#)—The twelfth week of the reparations conference opened today with an examination at a meeting of the drafting subcommit- tee of preliminary work on the pro- | posed texts of the report to be submit- | ted by the experts to the various gov- ernments interested. These texts cover principally the question of establishing an internation- | al bank to replace the reparations com- | mission and transfer committee as well | as the agent-general in the receipt and | distribution of reparations payments. | The experts are waiting for any pos- | sible development regarding figures be- | fore taking up the question of annuities | or commercialization of any part of the | | reparations debt. The question of de- | liverfes in kind may be wound up along with the other uncontested points be- fore Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, head of the {‘German delegation, returns on Thurs- day. ‘Would Clear Way for New Parley. | The meticulous care and long time 1 snent in drafting the texts of the report ! were said to be due to the desire of the delegations to leave the way open for another conference to be held later on some “neutral ground.” There was a feeling among some of the delegations that the atmosphere of Paris was not at all conducive to patching up financial | difficulties between former enemies. In one delegation, it was said this morning, semi-seriously and semi-jok- | | ingly, that had J. P. Morgan invited the experts, instead of the Archbishop of | Canterbury, aboard his yacht for a cruise | in the Adriatic, “we might have avoided | some of the shoals.” ‘When Dr. Schacht returns from Ber- | lin on Thursday, the expert will take up in detail the problem of how to treat | the divergent views of the dlfltfl.‘nl\ delegations in the final report.

The visit of Dr. Schacht to Berlin was the chief topic of discussion in circles close to the conference today.

The Arts Club of Washington has expanded its headquarters at 2017 I street by purchase of the apjoining prop- erty to the east, at 2015 I street, which will make pesible provision of a larger hall for dramatic and motion pictur> productions and speaking programs, it was announced today by Will C. Barnes, club president. The property, a three-story and base- ment building, was acuired from the Conway Investment Co., Inc. for a consideration reported to be anproxi- mately $40,000. The property purchased has a frontagle of 23 feet and a depth °f 140 feet, giving the Arts Club hold- a total frontage on I street of 57 Will Raze Old Building. The club proposes in the future to raze the old building on the new site, | erect a large new structure on the rear of the lots and to develop a garden in the front portion of the property just acquired. In the meantime, however, the newly acquired property will be remodeled to convert the first floor of the building into a public hall, where productions and other programs of the club will be staged, except for the larger activities held in more spacious Washington theaters. The theater section of the ‘;'Iu::‘s quarters will be about 23 by 75 | feet. Present quarters have been somewhar, cramped for the programs of the club and, in addition to providing larger space for such programs, the club pur- chased the additional property as a | means of forestalling the possible con- struction of a large structure thers, which would have hemmed in the club building.
