The pil- HOOVER MAY VISIT HOME IN PALO ALTO President and First Lady Are Expected to Make Trip During Recess. Being fairly well assured that the special session of Congress is headed toward a long recess this Summer— probably not less than three months— President Hoover is beginning to won- der where he will go to pass away the time and enjoy this brief respite. ‘The President has given no indication as to his thoughts on the subject, but it is felt by some of those closely &s- soclated with him that he and Mrs. Hoover will visit their home at Palo Alto, Calif. It is thought also that the President may make some side trips in the West in the event he goes away from Washington for the entire period of the congressional recess. Have Abandoned Trip Hopes. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover have been in the habit of going to their California home for a part of each Summer since they have been in official life in Wash- ington, but when he took up the bur- dens of the presidency they virtually abandoned all hope of getting away from the Capital long enough this Summer to permit them to visit Cali- fornia. It is thought at the White House that the President will make up his mind about a Summer trip as soon as Congress decides what it is going to do about a recess. So far as the President is concerned, he does not care when Congress recesses or for how long, just so that it enacts a farm relief bill which he can sign and enters upon an agreement to dispose of the tariff legislation before Novem- ber. He is anxious to have the tariff bill out of the way in advance of the convening of the regular session of Congress next December. He has no objection to Congress laying aside the disposal of the tariff bill until Fall, but he will not sanction any attempt to let the tariff bill drag on into the regular sesslon of Congress. Leaders Know His Views. Republican leaders both in the House and Senate are known to have the views of the President on the question of a prolonged recess. He has made himself very clear to them that he is agreeable to their ideas of a long vacation, but he has insisted they ad- here to his wishes in the matter of disposing of the tariff bill. Some of the President's close friends think he might remain in Washington for several weeks after Congress re- cesses and indulge in frequent visits to the game preserve in the Shenan- doah National Park in Virginia and Catoctin Purnace, Md., for fishing. Fa- cilities have been provided at each of these places for the comfort of the President and Mrs. Hoover and their friends in the event that they want to remain for several days. At the Shenandoah Park preserve special wires have beén strung, which make it possible for the President to be in direct communication with Wash- ington. If he cared to he could take enough of his office force with him to set up a wm&orury capital in the Blue Ridge Mountains and carry on the business of the Government. Hunting Creek Preserve Wired. ‘The fishing preserve along Hunting Creek at Catoctin Furnace also has tel- ephone and telegraph facilities, and the automobile ride from Washington can be made in an hour and a half. It is believed that if the President does not decide to go to the Pacific Coast during the recess he will divide his time be- tween these two fishing grounds. The President has expressed a desire to visit Porto Rico and Cuba and the Caribbean before next Winter, but it has not been determined just when he will make the journey. The impres- slon is that he has in mind making the trip after the adjournment of the spe- clal session in November. Those who accompanied the President, on his trip Saturday to Maryland are of the opinion that he was enthusiastic over his visit to the old farm near Union Bridge, which was once the home of Andrew Hoover, his great-great- grandfather, = ‘The President today was absorbed in preparation for his meeting tomorrow with the members of the newly created Law_Enforcement Commission. George ‘W. Wickersham of New York, whom the President has designated as chair- man of the commission, arrived at the White House Saturday night, where he since has been a guest. This has made it possible for the President to informal- ly discuss with the head of the com- mission various angles assoclated with the investigation. The commission will be luncheon guests at the White House tomorrow in the cabinet room and will loose little time getting down to busi- ness, P D. C. BOYS IN AVIATION.

Spectal Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va, May 27.—Briefs { for both contending factions in the con- test which has arisen over the legality of the Virginia Corporaticn Commis- | dissolution on January 8 of the |Susan B. Anthony Foundation, Inc., have been filed with the commission. | Tho case may be decided by June 15. The appellants in the case, a group headed by Mrs. Virginia Peters Park- | hurst of Weshington, represented by | Eimer J. Binford, Washington attorney, | are seeking to set aside the commis- | sion’s order of January 8 dissolving the | corporation on the grounds that the | ! application was not made in accordance with the law, and that the officers ap- | plying for the dissolution were not | bona fide officers of the corporation. | Miss Adams Heads Appellecs. The appellees, a group headed by Mrs, Mary Allen Adams of Washington, are, secking to sustain the dissolution order, claiming that the application was legal and that the corporation has outlived its usefulness. R. Lynch Montague, | Richmond attorney, prepared the brief for this faction. The ~arguments apparently hinge upon the legality of meetings held be- tween December, 1927, and June, 1928, hen the foundation divided into the two contending groups, each of which now claims to have the bona fide of- ficers. The Parkhurst faction asserts that Mrs. Adams, acting president, se- ceded from the board, and the Adams group asserts that the other faction or- ganized contrary to law and was the scceding_ group. The Binford brief seeks to prove that Mrs. Adams withdrew from a legal | meeting of the board in December, 1927, and there after sought to break up the corporation; further that the annual meeting held by the Parkhurst faction in May, 1928, was a legal session and that the board chosen at this meeting is the legal board. Irene Arnold was chosen president, supplanting the act- ing president, Mrs. Adams. Mr. Binford further claimed that the Adams faction did not conform to the charter and the law in calling and con- ducting an annual meeting in 192 further that this meeting was not called by the board or any official thereof. The conclusions are that this action by the Adams’ board to dissolve the corporation were not legal, that non- conformance with the law voids the action, that failure to give proper notice to the members voids the action, and that any dissalution order “obtained by fraud” can be vacated. The brief for the Adams’ faction pre- pared by Mr. Montague asserts that| 10 of the original charter members of the foundation served _continuously from the time the corporation was| chartered until it was dissolved. This the other side denies. Deny “Officers” Were Members. It is claimed further that “the per- sons claimed by the appellant to have been elected members on May 24, 1927, namely Mrs. Ruby Lee Minar, Mrs. Ap- pleton Clark, Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Jessie Dell, were not even lay members as no dues had ever been paid by them.” It is asserted in the Montague brief that the original board continued in office with the exception of Virginia Peters Parkhurst, Marie H. Heath, Clara O'Brien McCrone, and Mate H. Lewis, who resigned in 1927; Mrs. Nannette B. Paul, who died, and Mrs. Grace Ross Chamberlin and Anna E. Hendley, who were removed by vote of the board and their successors elected on October 20, 1928. Miss Mate H. Lewis later with- drew her resignation and rejoined the Adams board, it is stated. ‘The only legal directors, according to the brief, are Luella Montgomery Mc- Kennan, Mary I. Thompson, Emily Rose Snyder, Manolah C. Brennan, Grace R. Osgood, Mary Allen Adams, Celine W. Frizzel, Mary E. Heyler, Mate H. Lewls— all charter members—Grace W. Siebold, Jessie F. Deal, Teresa Dean, Louise Evans, Lillle M. Walker and Mrs. James Andrew Walsh, all elected October 20, 1928, It is claimed that the meeting at which the other faction organized held December 19, 1927, the meeting from which Mrs. Adams withdrew, was not a legal meeting, since it was called and conducted by a minority of the then existing board. The conclusion of the Adams’ faction brief claims that the Parkhurst faction | is and always has been a minority group | without legal authority to transact bus- iness and that consequently, its actions have been and are illegal. . 1881 Cup Defender, Mischief, Is Sunk Amid Ceremonies | Former Champion Dies Hard as Explosives Out- side Harbor Twice Fail. By the Associated Press. BOSTON, May 27.—The hulk of the sloop-yacht Mischief, successful Ameri- can defender of ‘she America’s cup in 1881, was sent the bottom of the Atlantic outside Boston Harbor yester- day with obsequies befitting a former champion of the seas. The sinking was the finals of a ceremony in which a fleet of pleasure craft participated. ‘The Mischief died hard. Two at- tempts by a party of Coast Guardsmen from the cutter Mojave to sink her with explosives were futile. Three shots from a three-inch gun aboard the Mojave were then fired into her before she sank as a buglar of the United States Marines sounded “Taps.” The Mischief was towed from the Boston Navy Yard to & point about one mile east of the Graves Light. En route to the scene power craft and sailboats joined her, forming a picturesque pro- cession in her wake. After her victory over the Canadian challenger, Atalanta, in 1881, off Sandy Hook, the Mischief had a varied career. She had several owners and was used for both pleasure and mercantile pur.

PLEAD T0 EUROPE TO REDUCE ARMS Military Leaders of Germany, France and Other Nations Ask Immediate Steps. By the Assoclated Pr BERLIN, May 27.—Twenty-five active or retired military and naval officers of high rank from Germany, Prance, Great | Britain, Poland, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland today published in leading European news- papers an ‘“appeal to the people of Europe” for immediate and general drastic reduction in armaments. Among the signers are Brig. Gen. Frank P. Crozier and Vice Admh’n\s‘ Sidney Robert Drury-Lowe and Mark | Kerr of Great Britain, Gen. Sauret of | France, Gen. Berthold von Deimling, Lieut. Gen. O. von Saint Ange and[ Maj. Gen. Von Bresler of Germany, and Gen. Eugene Kotkowskl of Poland. ‘The appeal declares “a new European war will to a marked degree be char=| acterized by attacks from the air against | vital parts of enemy countrics with the | intention of putting their military re- sources out of action and destroying the civillan population.” The resulting struggle for air supremacy, it is con- tended, will not give even successful powers any guarantee of security for :?e home land against attacks from the r. Europe is said to be faced with the alternatives of “either increased arma- | ments based chiefly on air forces with| no guarantee of peace or protection or | a policy which tries with all possible means to prevent war. To such a policy immediate and general drastic reduc- tion of armaments is indispensable.” WHEAT BELOW $1. Prices Break Violently on Chicago Board of Trade.
