RAINBOW VETERANS MARCH IN TRIUMPH: Gen. Gouraud Again Leads His Command as Hoover Reviews Division. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, Md., July 16.—Presi- dent Herbert Hoover and Gen. Henri Etienne Gouraud yesterday reviewed . the veterans of the Rainbow Division, who, 11 years ago, in the battle of the Champagne, crushed the last great Ger- man drive. It was a march of triumph. Soft white caps took the place of the steel helmet of 1918, slender canes, swinging | merrily, substituted for the rifle, and bright-colored clothes replaced the olive drab uniform of the A. E. F. At the head of the parade rode Gen. Gouraud, leading the veterans, for it was under his commahd that they broke the German line. When the head of the column reached the reviewing stand, the general joined the President and stood at attention as part of his war-time command swung past, his left hand rising and falling in salute, his armless right sleeve swinging in the breeze. Army Units in Parade. In the parade with the veterans were units of the Regular Army, members of the 1st Regiment, Maryland National Guard, and citizen soldiers undergoing their annual Summer training period. The procession was more than two miles in length and was viewed by thousands. The veterans carried with them the original emblem of the division, pre- sented to it in 1917, when the regiment was at Camp Mills. The streets were lined with packed humanity as the veterans and their more youthful companions of National Guardsmen and C. M. T. C. marched through the streets of the downtown section amid a shower of ticker tape, confetti and shredded telephone direc- tories. Veterans Trek to Homes. From the time Gen. Gouraud ap- peared, the handclapping started, rising 10 cheers which reached their climax at the reviewing stand, in Memorial Plaza, where the commander-in-chief of all United States forces stood to ‘watch. The parade brought the three-day meeting of the veterans to a close, and Jast night the members of the famous Rainbow went back to their homes. President Hoover returned to Wash- ington immediately after the parade, arriving in the Capital at 5 o'clock. NEW RAINBOW IS URGED. Maryland Will Join It Move Is Sanc- tioned, Adjutant General Says. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, July 16.—Maryland will join in the organization of a new Rain- bow Division if one is sanctioned by Congress, according to Adjt. Gen. Mil- ton A. Reckord, commander of the Maryland National Guard. 8 He indorsed a suggestion made at the dinner of the Rainbow Division veterans by Maj. Gen. Charles P. Summerall, Army chief of staff. The Rainbow Division was made up of National Guard units from 26 States, including Maryland, Pennsylvania, Vir- ginia and the District of Columbia. CARAWAY ATTACKS HOOVER ON TARIFF Says President’s Stand Is “Put Bill| Through if You Can Get Away With It.” President Hoover’s stand on the tarift bill is “put the bill through if you can get away with it declared Senator Caraway, Democrat, of Arkansas, in a statement issued yesterday through the Democratic naticnal committee. In the statement the Arkansas Senator fires a bitter blast against the policies of the administration with reference to the Law Enforcement Commission, the de- benture plan and the tariff. He says: “It is no surprise that nobody can learn just where the President stands on the tariff; nobody ever has been able to learn just where he stands on anything, so far as my recollectidn goes. “I have been much interested in the conferences he has been holding with my distinguished Republican colleagues of the Sepate. They appear to be a little bewildered as to his position on the tariff. I do not share their un- certainty. His attitude is plain to me. It is: “Put the bill through if you can get away with it and I'll take the applause from the lucky ones who pyramid their profits under the high schedules while you must take the blame of the con- sumers who pay more for everything they eat, or wear, or use otherwise. “Those who are talking of the pos- sibility of a veto of the extortionate measure assume a strange degree of the President’s ingenuousness and _inno- cence. Does anybody seriously belleve that the administrative provision, kill- ing the n-=-partisan character of the Tarift Comm: Fon, and vesting in the White 7o Tant the power to do as he pleas. *the recommendations of his own Chetbul without his knowledge and con- sent? “Isn’t it more logical to assume that it is there because he wanted it? When did Congress, of its own volition, ever suggest the alienation of any of its own powers and bestow them on the executive branch of the Government? They mean to call the coming tariff the Hawley-Smoot bill; it is really the Hoover bill, and if the President ever| does express his dissatisfaction with any phase of it it will be when it be- comes evident that the Democrats and the Republican Progressives will not let it pass.” oz PAYS TO ESCAPE JAIL. Alimony Defendant Had Been Held in Contempt of Court. The prospect of 30 days in the Dis- trict jail, especially at this time of the year, ‘did not appesl to Schee Merritt Tockwood, a real estate agent residing at the Racquet Club, who was held in contempt of court yesterday by Justice Bailey for failing to pay arrears of alimony and counsel fees to his wife, Jane Cochran Lockwood, who is suing ,him for a limited divorce. After spend- ing a few hours in the cus of United States Marshal Edgar C. Snyder at the courthouse Lockwood decided to pay $149.50,1 which under -the order entitled him to his liberty.

NEW CAR ROUTING PLAN 1S STUDIED Commission Is Believed Try- ing to Hold Possible Changes to Minimum. Rerouting of Washington street cars, which may be resorted to instead of granting car fare increases requested by both of Washington’s street car com- panies, probably will not follow any of the plans heretofore submitted to the Public Utilities Commission, according to indications in the office of the com- mission. Apparently an entirely new scheme will be worked out, calling for changes which will be possible with a minimum capital expense for changing tracks. Laying and digging up of the under- ground trolley system is extremely ex- pensive. The rerouting probably will not be ordered unless the companies make out their cases before the com- mission that they are earning less than a fair return. Should this be the case, there would be little chance of the com- on's _ordering extensive track changes which would eat further into the companies’ revenues. Other Plans Call for Many Changes. Most of the plans submitted thus far | call for extensive track changes. A sample of these is the plan prepared by the Charles Hansel consulting spe: cialistic and submited to the commis- sion in connection with the hearings before it on the Wilson merger plan. This calls for elimination of car tracks on F street between Eleventh and Fourteenth streets, and also on New York avenue between Eleventh and Fif- teenth streets. New track is planned on H, E and Thirteenth streets, so as to make certain downtown loops pos- sible. Under the Hansel scheme there would be two main through north and south arteries, Seventh and Fourteenth streets; the downtown district would be served by four “lpops,” as follows: Thirteenth street, Twelfth, H and E streets; Eleventh street, Ninth, E and K streets; G street, F. Ninth and Elev- enth streets, and E street, F, Ninth and’ Eleventh streets. Others Are Variations. Variations of these schemes are to be found in the McClellan and Junkers- feld traffic survey, made in 1924; a plan submitted by Rowland Bibbins at the merger hearings before the commission; a plan prepared by the National Capi- tal Park and Planning Commission, and a plan prepared by Maj. Clayton E. Emig of the Federation of Citizens’ Assoclations. ° The commission's investigation, it was said, will not necessarily adopt any of the above schemes. Commissioner Harleigh H. Hartman, who is credited generally with being the one most in- terested in bringing about the re-rout- ing, carefully refrained from committing himself on any of the schemes when questioned today. He said the investi- gation was one day old, and that this was no time for talking about what the result would be. He said that the investigation would be made, for the present, without out- side assistance. Should it be necessary to employ outside experts, however, the companies will be given notice and the cost of the extra assistance will be charged against them in accordance with the law, which allows the com- panies so assessed to amortize the as- sessment out of operating expenses. A strong hint that something entirely new in rerouting schemes is to be worked out, however, lay in the fact that Mr. Hartman had none of the rerouting schemes mentioned on his desk. One of them, in fact, could not be located in the commission’s files at all, when asked for by a reporter. It was discovered that it had been bor- rowed by a Bureau of Efficiency investi- gator some time ago, and not returned. - Mexico Seeks Labor Change. MEXICO CITY, July 16 (#).—The permanent congressional commission to- day convoked the Mexican Congress for a special session to begin July 25 to discuss amendments of the constitution necessary for the g:mxe of President Portes Gil's new labor measure.

Two men were painfully burned yes- terday afternoon and early this morn- ing, one when he was splashed with blazing gasoline and the other while fighting a fire which destroyed a one- room shack at the foot of Twenty- eighth street. The latter, Charles Besch, 50 years old, of 1200 Thirty-first street,” was taken to Georgetown Hospital and treated for minor burns to his arms, face and head. The fire occurred about 3:50 o'clock this morning. The cause is unknown. The owners, the Chesa- peake & Ohio Canal Co., placed the damage at $300. The shack was occu- pied by Elmer O’'Connor. Roy Allen, colored, 19 years old, of 632 L street northeast, was working in a garage at 1409 Seventeenth street about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when a short circuit in the generator he was washing with gasoline caused the fluid to explode. In an effort to avoid the explosion, Allen stepped backward, overturning a bucket of gaso- trousers and then caught fire. Garage attendants succeeded in beating out the flames and_ sent Allen to Emergency Hosplital. ered_serious. July | Clearance Fine Furniture at Drastic Reductions Peter Grogan & Sons Co.

The General Electric with its quiet, trouble-free, sealed-in mechanism and its remarkable all-steel cabinet, has i)ut the signature on many a lease. You may wonder why it is so often said that the General Electric Refrigerator is particularly good for apartments. It operates independently—each tenant has complete control over his own machine. He defrosts it or regulates the temperature when it suits his convenience. No action of another ten- ant, or of the superintendent, interferes with his service. This individual control assures worry- proof refrigeration. “A Washington Firm Working for the Best interests of Washington” It plugs into any convenient electric outlet and begins its important job—automatically, it always keeps the temperature safely below the 50 degree danger point, safeguards your food, checks danger- ous bacferial growth. And it gives you the com- fort of having plenty of ice-cubes always on hand, As evidence of guaranteed reliability—there are now more than 300,000 users and not one has ever spent a single dollar for repairs. When you're looking for an apartment, give special attention to the one which has a General Electric Refrigerator. For, if it has this most modern of refrigerators, you may be reasonably sure that it will be up-to-the-minute in most other respects, too!
