THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, Many Attend Legion Post Events at Wheaton Grounds. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Staff Correspondent of The Star. WHEATON, Md, May 25—With plenty of thrills in close contests, but | without any unfortunate spills, the Cissel-Saxon Post, American Legion, | successfully held its first horse show | on the big grounds here this after- | noon, before a large field of spectators, | and with more than eighty entries. There were entries from the District | of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia, | and the excellent performance of the animals as well as the handling by the | riders. kept up the enthusiasm of the | audience from the time that little Miss | Harrlet Rose Sommer of 316 Tulip avenue, Takoma Park, riding Billle, captured the blue ribbon and a riding | crop in the pony class, until Miss Mar- got Couzens, daughter of United States Senator Couzens of Michigan, was awarded the prize for the best dressed woman rider, as the closing event. Ladies’ Hunters Jump. ‘The most interesting of the events was a special one announced after the | show had moved half way over the | rinted program. It was a class for adies’ hunters, 31:-foot jump. After the first run-off, it settled down to a| tie between Crescent, entered by Mrs. Roy E. Shook, and Par Hale, entered by Fred M. King. The two were re- called four times to make the jumps and each time cleared, until the bars | were raised, when Par Hale kicked off the top one, leaving Crescent the win- | ner. Crescent took also two other events, the open to all hunter class and the “touch and out.” However, with s0 many recalls, the event had settled down to one of endurance, rather than Jumping. Official Montgomery County = was present in numbers, including County Commissioner Lacy Shaw of the north- ern metropolitan district, County Com- missioner Clagett Hilton, Preston B. Ray, clerk of the Circuit Court at Rockville, and others. Andrew J. Cum- mings of Chevy Chase, former member of the House of Delegates and presi- dent of the Maryland State Fair Asso- ciation, was present. He has been confined to his home for some months by iliness. The judges of the events, except the best dressed riders, and the names of the judges of the latter were kept secret, were Mrs, Andrew J. Cummings of Chevy Chase, James P. Fitzgerald of Silver Spring and Fred C. Lloyd of ‘Washington. The post had made ar- rangements with Col. Willlam Mitch- ell, former Chief of the Air Service, and Capt. Butler of the Maryland State Police to act as judges, but the directors of the show were informed at the last minute that these two| would be unable to act. i Police Keep Traffic Moving. | ‘The fleld in which the show was held | is at the junction of Georgia avenue and Kensington road, and many of those touring for the afternoon stopped to see the display. Although it was in an open.field, there was a_large squad of Montgomery County Police, under Bergt. Guy Jones, in charge of the northern district, on hand to keep parkers from clogging up the road- ways. ‘The proceeds of the show will be used for the work of the Cissel-Saxon Post of the American Legion, headquarters of which are in Silver Spring. The winners in the various classes follow: Class 1. Ponies, shown under saddle: Riding crop and blue ribbon to Billle, Miss Harriet Rose Sommer; red ribbon, Judy, Miss M. P.

With Two Administrators | in Bedford, Pa. | Special Dispatch to The Star. BEDFORD, Pa., May 25—Three of | the most important prohibition law en- forcement officers in the United States | gathered here in a “mystery” confer- ence late today. They were National ! Prohibition Commissioner J. M. Doran, Administrator John H. Pennington of Pittsburgh and Administrator O. P. Jackson of New Orleans. Pennington was accompanied by his chief legal adviser, Louis E. Graham. Members of the party maintained {strict silence regarding the subject of the conference. Reports from the South indicated the meeting was brought about for the purpose of reaching some decision on, D O and perhaps finally settling the interna- tional controversy resulting from the | sinking of the schooner I'm Alone off | the coast of New Orleans. ‘ The boat was sunk by a Coast Guard patrol, nominally under direct mand of Administrator Jackson. e | life was lost, while the lives of others | were saved by the patrol boat crew. | Under the agreement in force be- | tween various countries the United States in return for granting foreign | vessels the right to bring unlimited | stores of liquor under seal into our ports, obtained permission to seize rum smug- glers at any point along the coast of the United States that was within an hour's sailing distance. | The controversy that resuiced in the | exchange of notes with the State De- partment and Canadian officials is be- lieved to have started over the question | of whether or not the United States was | within its rights in the I'm Alone matter. Bringing together Commissioner Doran and his aides, Pennington and Jackson, may result in some decision on this matter, it was believed. That could not | be_confirmed here tonight, however. Pennington’s experience in dry law enforcement and naval affairs indicate that he would be the logical man for the prohibition executive to call for | counsel in such a case. He has had | more than 20 years' experience as an officer in the United States Navy, and should the I'm Alone sinking be the | subject matter of discussion during the meeting here, it is belleved he would be able to render valuable advice to his brother executives on the question. il 0%l e (i ‘Illllfl!‘ QOO AT L L LT T T UL L LTI (o T .0 '."“!'!IIIIIIII!f'““ | The Pioneer Organization Specializingin seeceoe Home REX Improvements MAY 26, 1929—PART 13 BATISH ELEGTON OUTEDNE N DOUBT No Party Stands Out, Wit Three-Cornered Contests Complicating Results. h By the Associated Pre LONDON, May 325—The last week end before the British general elec- tions, May 30, found all three parties | girding their loins to do battle in a|™ contest the outcome of which appeared unusually uncertain. A close race was anticipated by all political observers. No one issue, no one principle and no one party stood out above the rest, and the unusual number of three-cornered contests further complicated the result. Former Premier Lloyd George, Lib- eral leader, today predicted that Labor would lead in the aggregate vote of the country with 7,500,000. He put the Liberals next with 7,000,000 votes and J the Conservatives last with 8,500,000. How the 615 Parliamentary seats would | be_distributed no one foretold, however. In the absence of great issues, the attention of the British public has cen- | tered on oddities and sidelights of the campaign. | Women Take Part. | Wives of two political leaders took | their part in their husband's cam- | paigns last night by speeches or letters. | Mrs. Winston Churchill, wife of the chancellor of the exchequer, thinks her distinguished husband is a good house- | keeper. She told a gathering of wom- | en at Buckhurst: “My husband for four | O | years has been the nation’s housekeeper. | He really has worked very hard.” | " Mrs. Stanley Baldwin sent this mes- | sage to the women of Central Hackeny “I appeal to the women to help my husband in maintaining peace in this country, building up the nation’s heaith | and promoting its industry. I pledge y word you can trust him absolutely.” Liberals of the city of London, eager | to propagate the faith, today invited all | Conservative cabinet members and can- didates to Cannon Street Hotel to hear Prof. J. M. Keynes speak on the Liberal unemployment plan. Prof. Keynes was one of the committee of experts who drew up the scheme, which the Con- servatives have consistently attacked. Scores Conservatives. Meanwhile, Sir Herbert Samuel, chief Liberal organizer, paid a few compli- ments to the Conservatives at Llandub- no, Wales, last night. He ironically re- marked that the Conservative slogan of “Safety First” suggested new British o | emblems such as Britannia with an um- | brella, or St. George and the rabbit, in- | stead of the traditional “St. George and the dragon.” | Whole families, including the young- est_children, have been placed on the | electoral register for the general elec- | tions this year in many districts through mistakes in filling out the forms. In Sheffleld. an unborn babe was actually entered by its father. It arrived after | wards and, fulfilling the proud parent's | confidence’ as to its sex, was duly en- ! franchised. | Among the Labor candidates in Shef- field is Arthur Ponsomby, descendant { a long line of aristocrats, who was | once himself a page of honor to Queen Victoria. He has represented Bright- ide since 1922. Another Socialist | Cectl Wilson, also a member in the last | House, belongs to one of the oldest | and most famous Sheffeld firms who | refine precious metals. | The solitary Communist candidate there, G. Fletcher, is also a capitalist. He is a master baker. | DEALER ROBBED BY TWO. Max Krusoff reported to police last night that two young men walked into his store at 100 Sixth street southeast and after holding him up at the point | of a pistol robbed him of $25. | The robbers did not molest the cash register in the rear of the store. Krusoff told police that after the hold- up men had taken the money they ran out of the door.
