20 % DRIVER OF TAXICAB ROBBED BY BANDITS Car and $6 Reported Taken by Two Men Who Fled in Machine. How two white passengers in his taxicab forced him to relinquish hlal driver's seat and cap to one of lhelrl number, who then drove them to New Jersey avenue and N strets southeast, ere they robbed him of $6 in change, was related to police of the fifth pre- cinct early today by Ray Botts, 31 years old, of 1011 Virginia avenue southwest. Bot‘s said, however, he was able to slip the purse containing several dol- lars from his hip pocket between the seat cushions in the tonneau of the cab, although the man who sat beside him had him covered with a revolver. The two men hailed Botts at Third street and Pennsylvania avenue, direct- ing him by a circuitous route to New Ji y avenue and N street southeast. Shortly after they left, Botts said, one of the men reached forward and touched him on the shoulder presenting a gun and ordering him to pull up to the curb between street lights, The taxi driver related how one of the men then took his cap, put it on and climbed into the driver's seat, starting off at high speed. About 10 minutes later they pulled up at the corner to which they had directed him at first, searched his pockets and es- caped with his change and his taxicab. The vehicle was later found by police in the 1200 block of One-half street southwest, where it had been aban- doned. Botts said he walked directly to the fifth precinct from the corner where he was put out of his cab. He fur- nished a detailed description of the bandits. 13 HELD IN CA‘LIFORNIA AS RED AGITATORS #Miniature Soviet Republic” Uncovered at Summer Camp in West. By the Associated Press. SAN BERNARDINO, Calif., August 3.—Felony charges of displaying the “red flag _of Communism” were ‘brought by District Attorney George H. Johnson tonight against 13 asserted leaders of a “miniature Soviet Repub- lic” Summer camp at the foot of the San Bernardino Mountains. Warrants for the arrest of the group were is- sued immediately. The charges were brought as the result of a raild August 1 on the camp and the seizure of ban- ;ln'& flags and inflammatory litera- ure. The defendants were named as Anna Rosenfield, Rose Spector, Catherine Hrushack. Bella Mintz, Esther Kar- peliff, I. Berkowitz, Sarah Cutler, Sarah Radkin, Iotta Stromberg, William Green, Fred Firestone and two persons whose names were unknown. Firestone, an agent of the Interna- tional Labor Defense, and Attorney Leo Gallagher of Los Angeles filed a pro- test against the district attorney’s order of yesterday for abandonment of the camp. They denied that Commun- ism was being taught at the camp, where 40 children were found possess- ing copies of songs bearing Communis- tic titles and contents.

ISAILORS BATTLE GANGSTERS ' THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ¢, AUGUS FOR MATIE'S SWEETHEART Girl Named Bertha Sought by Polite Probing Brooklyn Melece Which Netted One Skull Fracture. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, August 3—A girl named Bertha, who swore to be ‘true to her saflor lover of the U. S. 8. Battleship Texas and wasn't, was re- sponsible for a free for all street fight in Brooklyn early today, in which a dozen sailors from the battleship and a score of gangsters and dance hall hangers-on belabored each other for an hour before finally quelled by re- serves of two police precincts. When the din of battle had quieted and the police were left in possession of the street, they found one of the sailors sprawled in the gutter with a fractured skull and five others badly bruised, but on their feet claiming a victory. The injured sailor was H. L. Alex- ander, 19 years old. He was rushed by ambulance to St. Catherine's Hos- pital, where his fractured skull was treated and it was found he had suf- fered internal injuries. He is not ex. pected to live. His five companions who held the street were arrested and taken to the Stagg street police sta- tion, where they gave their names as John Plerson, Frank Garrison, Jack Flynn, Glenn Foster and Alfred Mer- monte. All were charged with dis- orderly conduct. Civilian Is Arrested. Joseph Schultz, 27 years old, of 119 Evergreen avenue, Brooklyn, ‘was later brought in by the police and held on a charge of felonious assault. He was alleged to have been one of the civil- ians engaged in the battle, but the part he played was not explained. He and the five sailors will be arraigned in Bridge Plaza Court, Brooklyn. Stories gained by the police in ques- tioning the survivors were extremely fragmentary and lacking in names. It seems that when the U. S. S. Texas was last in the navy yard, Brooklyn, an unnamed member of her crew fell in love with a girl in the Greenpoint section whose first name was Bertha. ‘When it came time to return to sea this sailor extracted a .promise from Bertha that she would remain true. She gave it readily, it is declared, since she said he returned her love, and with a full heart her lover sailed for other ports. Then yesterday the Texas returned. The “gob” lover got shore leave at once and hurried to Bertha's home. She was not in. Where was she? No one seemed to know. So the sailor made the rounds of her usual haunts.. Several hours later he found her in a Brooklyn dance hall. Relying on her promise, he stepped out and claimed her. She gave him the distant smile and her male companions, for the most part gangsters, and dance hall habitues, gave him a “boo,” and in a rage he left. Touring the borough, he collected his shipmates, told them the story of the faithless Bertha and they decided | the honor of Uncle Sam’s fleet had to be maintained. A dozen strong, they looked up Bertha and her companions. ‘They met them at Gardner and Johnson avenues, Brooklyn, and with- out bothering about overtures pitched into a fight. Base Ball Bats In Evidence. Pists, feet, and a few base ball bats— no one knows where these came from— were put into action. Shouts and pro- fanity rang through the night. Win- dows poped up and heads out. A dozen frightened citizens called for the police, and the fight continued furiously. The sailors were outnumbered about two to one, but they were used to such fights as these in strange ports, and accounted for themselves well on their own home soil. ‘They had been at it for about an hour before the first detachment of —- EDUCATIONAL. MONTREAL, August 3.—Montreal harbored, for a few hours today, two world famous surgeons, the Mayo brothers of Rochester, Minn., who re- turned today on the liner Montrose from a visit to England. It was generally thought the prin- cipal reason for the visit of these famous men was to attend and read papers at the British Medical Associa- tion meeting last week. Dr. Will Mayo, just after the ship tied up, explained to the Associated Press that in reality it had been more of a sentimental Journey. “We went over to attend the unveil- ing and dedication of a memorial win- dow to our father in the parish church at Eccles, near Manchester, which he attended for many years before emi- grating to America in 1844, he said. “The window, which was presented to the church by my brother and myself, was dedicated by the lord bishop of Manchester to the memory of William Morrell Mayo.” t ‘The surgeons later left for Roches- er.

VALLEY FORGE VISITED BY BRITISH VETERANS Senator Thomas Advocates Battle- fleld as Nationally Owned Reservation. VALLEY FORGE, Pa, August 3 (#). —With the British flag displayed for the first time in history at Valley Forge Chapel today, United Senator Thomas of Oklahoma said before several hun- dred representatives of the British and veterans of American and other pa- triotic societies that “the acres where ‘Washington's army suffered in the Win- ter of 1777 belong not to the people of one State alone, but to those of the en- tire Nation and of the world. “This spot which the British evacu- ated 152 years ago, and to which they are returning today, should be made a monument that will bring the entire Nation closer together,” he said. “The property should be the posses- sion of the United States Government.” ‘The visit of the British veterans was a part of the week’s program commem- orating the beginning of the World War 15 years ago.

When President Hoover retwns to the White House tomorrow from his week end outing at the headwaters of | gress irgin| the Rapidan River, in Vi ia, he will have a far better ided of what to ex- t in the nature of the tariff revision ill to be introduced in the Senate when it reassembles, than he did before he left Washington for his mountain re- treat Priday atfernoon. The President now has heard at length and in detail from Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, chairman of the Senate finance committee, who has been di- recting that committee’'s task of re- wrif the Hawley tariff bill. The Utah tor arrived at the camp yes- terday afternoon and, according to ad- vices received here, he and the Presi- dent lost little time in entering upon & discussion of the tariff lon work. It is expected that this discussion will continue today. Smoot To Know Hoover’s Position. ‘Not only will the President be en- lightened as to the progress of the finance committee in handling the tarift bill, and what has been agreed upon in matter of rate changes, it Senator Smoot will return to his task at the Capitol with a better under- 8 g of the President's postilon with respect ‘to tariff revision. Mr. Hoover speaks plainly and bluntly on such occasions. It has been intimated that the President was not at all pleased with the Hawley tariff bill as it passed the House, but there has been no - lic utterance from the President - self to this effect. Moreover, he never has made known publicly his attitude toward the revision Free Parking “, . 4 ¥ VA 4, work understood to have been agreed upon by Senator Smoot and his commit- tee members, more especially Senator Smoot’ for a sliding scale rate for sugar. It is known, however, that the President does not want a general re- vision of the whole tariff, and that he has warned those in.charge of this legis- lation to guard against this and to be careful not to be too reckless in increas- ing rates. Wants “Adequate Protection.” Mr. Hoover is known to favor a re- vision that would afford adequate pro- tection for agriculture and all other in- dustries that are in need at this time. Although he never publicly has said so, the impression has been gained recently that the President is not going to gre ly concern himself with any particular schedule in the tariff bill, and that he s nntlgolnl to go to the mat with Con- all the revised rates are not to his own particular liking. But it is un- derstopd by those who have his confi- dence that he is going to insist upon the elastic provision giving the execu- tive authority to increase or decrease rates to certain amounts, greater lati- tude than now is the case. Also, the President has indicated that he wants greater powers given to the Tariff Com- nmission. The President’s public attitude has been that the making of the tariff is the duty of Congress and that it would neither be graceful nor considerate on part of the President to interfere, at least to the extent of expressing his views publicly. He appears to be con- tent to let his public position, ex- pressed in his me to Congress when he assembled it in special session stand, until the time comes for him to do some signing. The occasion of Senator Smoot’s visit_to his camp af- fords him just a desired opportunity to go over the schedules and to acquaint the finance committee chairman with his opinions respecting the more im- portant schedules. 3 Heavy Rain Drenches Camp. ‘The word from the President’s camp last night was that with the exception of an hour or $0 in the early afternoon, there was a heavy downpour of rain all day. This necessitated the Presi- dent and the members of his party keeping close to their tents. During the brief let-up in the rain, the Presi- dent and Mrs. Hoover and several of their guests went for a horseback ride 1929—PART 1.
