(Continued From Seventeenth Page.) perhaps was a bit too eager to prevent crashing into the curbing. No. 14 Engine Company, one of the three to tie in 7 seconds, is located on Eighth street between D and E streets. W. B. Bateman showed a real burst of speed at the cranking job and the motor answered roaringly. = In making the dash across the sill, however, the motor missed fire several times, spoiling what might have been a close call for No. 21." Lieut. H. Buhler was in command, with F. Litteral driving. No. 2 Engine Company, on Twelfth street between G and H streets, dupli- cated the time of 7 seconds. Without any engine trouble, the time showed that human element counts and the fraction of a second lost in getting the pparatus in action might cost a vic- tory. Sergt. N. S. Bradford was in com- mand, with J. H. Hennig doing a good Jjob in the driver's seat. Engine Trouble at No. 1. Engine trouble lost whatever chances Rescue Squad No. 1 may have had for championship honors. 1t is located in the same house with No. 2 Engine. ‘With Lieut. J. A. Mayhew in charge. Driver W. A. Clark got his motor off with a bang. Then it began to sputter until the seconds flew by one after an- other. Clark finally coaxed the appa- ratus to a start, but the eight or nine seconds lost spelled misfortune, The time was 19 3-5 seconds. A quick run to K street between % Sixteenth and _Seventeenth streets 2 brought the judges to the familiar cene of No. 1 Engine Company. Here 2 was where Chief O'Connor earned all 1 his promotions in 23 years of strenuous { duties as a fireman. But fortune failed to smile upon the men at No. 1 yes- % terday. They did their best under the £ circumstances, but failed to score de- 4 cisively with a time of 10 2-5 seconds. Sergt. R. G. Anderson took command and Driver E. P. Archer used the self- § starter in getting under way. Better time was made by No. 8 En- gine Company in 8 2-5 seconds, thanks to a well behaved self-starter and mo- tor, Sergt. J. C. Lacey was in charge § and S. O. White drove. } The next company visited, No. 7 £ Truck, on Eighth street southeast, of- fered wonderful expectations. It is one f the newest in the District and re- § puted to be one of the speediest. It % needed no_ cranking by hand. No. 7. 2 however, failed to break any record, 2 but cleared the quarters in 8 3-5 sec- ionds. Capt. W. N. Green took com- $mand of the situation, with F. M. §Dyer at the wheel A rather suff motor, perhaps, was the reason of its ndoing. No. 18 Struck Bad Luck. 3 No. 18 Engine, the next company fyisited in the Southeast section, had a 3run of plain bad luck. G. E. Kliessing 3made a speedy dive for the crank and Igave it a husky tug. It slipped and the lost several seconds trying to get it ito fit again. The time, consequently, fwas only 13 2-5 seconds. Lieut. E. M. uskey commanded the apparatus and 3J. E. Weaver tried his best to make up $¥or iost time by dashing the hose cart Zout of the quarters with a real burst of 3speed. 1P} “Gordial reception awaited the com- Imittee at the wharf of the fire boat at e foot of Seventh street southwest YWhen it comes to getting into acton, the firc boat crew admits no superior n the whole department. The big tug, ith engines cold, was released from ts mooring on the wharf and its pilot cas stationed 14 feet from the pilot fhouse, in accordance with the same Srules governing other fire apparatus. 1At the first strike of the gong, Pilot 3."B. Raleigh seemed to take his post t a single bound. It required high tepping. When the signal came to 3“Go,” the propeller almost instantly tbegan to churn the water furiously. 3The big tug moved slowly at first in almost in full speed. When watches were examined, the found to be 23 2-5_seconds, i1t seemed athe stop stime was iwmch is real class for any fire boat. Lieut. H. Kinsell was in command of perations. Stopped Too Soon. In the Southwest 'section, No. 13| 3Engine, commanded by Lieut. S. E. 2Colvin, cleared the house in 13 second: . Driver R. E. White stopped the sapparatus too soon. It was just half ; y over the mark at the sill and he fhad to start the motor again. R. S. SSweetwood did the work at the crank. No. 10 Truck Company did better, §with a time of 9 seconds, due to pretty work on the part of the crew. The $house is stationed on K_street near SFour-and-a-half street southwest. The istreet is very narrow and Driver W. L. &King applied his brakes quickly to keep 3the long truck from striking the curb- ‘ing. W. W. Brown made a quick job of cranking and Capt. Charles Thomas was in charge of the apparatus. Heading for Anacostia, the judges next pulled up before No. 15 engine house Xto find the men waiting for them. No. 15 did the trick in 83-5 seconds, but lost a good chance to do better when Driver G. W. Heigh applied the brakes before the apparatus had cleared the sill. There is a rather steep incline from the entrance. Sergt. W. C. Rees 'was in command and C. W. Ridley did the work at the crank. No 25 Engine Company, in Congress 2Helghts, did better. It showed a real lburst of speed in clearing the quarters in 72-5 seconds. - This is the company to which Mr. Biondi, the official gong sounded of the tests, formerly belonged. Driver R. Cooksey relied on the self- starter and Lieut. T. H. Green gave him the signal. Self-Starter Fails. In this house'also is No. 8 Truck, fwith Sergt. G. W. McGowan in charge gof the competing crew. Sergt. Mc- 2Gowan, of Herculean physique and for- merly on one of the rescue s%l;nds. was in command and had E. B. Rollins for i driver. They relied on the self-starter, ‘but that piece of mechanism failed to do 1ts duty promptly. Getting away to a slow start, the big truck could only Zmake 134-5 seconds. £ In Randal Highlands, No. 19 Engine iCompany, using a cranker, got away 2in 10 4-5 seconds. L. L. Rabe per- 3!ormed the duty at the crank and E. i Hauxhurst_occupied the driver's seat. Sergt. G. C. Moxley was in charge of this company. Kennilworth boasts one of the speediest engine companies in the suburban_districts. It is No. 27, with Capt. J. W. Myers. It established the time of 8 1-5 seconds, despite the fact $that the motor is an old one and had only recently come out of the repair shop. Capt. ers had two veteran assistants in Driver B. M. Euers and G. W. Dove at the crank. Returning to the city for the final test_of the day, the judges visited No. .§10 Engine Company at 1008 Maryland !3svenue northeast. ‘Its time was 9 1-5 {3seconds. At that it was within the 10 gecond mark, W] is re 1throughout the country as a standard quick time in responding to an alarm. ‘§ Lieut. E. L, Huntt was in command and Driver W. H.

BISHOP REVIEWS CATHEDRAL WORK Head of Diocese Goes Over Progress on Anniversary of His Elevation. Rapld progress on Washington Cathe- dral was reported last night by the Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, who this morning will celebrate the sixth anniversary of his consecration as bishop by returning to oreach at Epiphany Church, from which he was raised to bishop. Bishop Freeman gave a detailed statement outlining the progress on the cathedral, and the conditions of the Diocese of Washington, which, with its more than 25,000 communicants, he said ranked among hte great dioceses of the country. Bishop Freeman was consecrated in Epiphany Church, of which he was then rector. on Michaelmas, 1923, known as “The Feast of Saint Michael and All Angels,” and returns to his old pulpit each anniversary. Reviewing the conditions in the diocese and progress on the cathedral in a statement, Bishop Freeman said: Bishop's Statement. “If there is a more united body of clergy and lay people in any diocese than here in Washington, I do not know where to find it. The clergy and laymen honored me by electing me to this high office when I had been resi- dent here but two and a quarter vears. It was an expression of confi- dence that I deeply prize. Throughout this brief period of six years I can say without qualification that I have had the loyal and devoted support of every rector and layman throughout the diocese. “Marked progress has characterized the parishes in the District of Columbia and in the four counties of Southern Large building operations have gone forward, but beyond all physical de- velopment there has been a fine and steady spiritual growth. There is not a parish without a rector at the pres- ent time, Quite apart from the fine loyalty of the clergy, we have a body of lay men and women who are the pride of the church. Small geographically as this Diocese of Washington Iis, it has more than 25000 communicants, ranking it among the great dioceses of “As for progress on Mount St. Alban, the buildings themselves tell the story. We are nearer to realizing the dream of Bishop Satterlee, the founder of the Cathedral, than ever before. The great choir is structurally finished, the ex- fensive crypts and crypt chapels, cov- ering the entire area of the Cathedral, are nearing completion; the College of Preachers Building, representing in cost and endowment approximately $1,500,000, will be ready for its large service in mid-November, and St. Al- ban's School for Boys has a new and splendid building, costing $150,000, which has been used for the first time this last week; the beautiful Bishop's Garden, which' attracts monthly thou- sands of lovers .of God's out-of-doors, has been carried to completion. Fur- thermore, plans are now under way to build the north and south transepts, together with the eompletion of the massive crossing of the Cathedral, all of which it is hoped may be completed by 1932 and be used for inspiring na- tional religious services in connection with the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington. Thousands of Small Gifts. «This great undertaking has gone forward through the generous interest of literally thousands of people over the country, and while we have had notably large gifts from individuals, the thousands of small gifts that have poured in indicate the widespread in- terest in what this great building may symbolize of the spiritual ideals of the Nation. These offerings have repre- sented 8 cross section of the Christian life of our people, expressed in the terms of many church affiliations and religious bodies. The fact that more than 300,000 people annually visit the three crypt chapels—and this figure does not include the other buildings— is an indication of the appeal which they make to the finer sentiment of our_people. “The task which lies before us is ob- viously a very weighty one. I am en- couraged and stimulated by the splen- did leadership that has been given to the Cathedral enterprise by such men as Gen. Pershing, the Hon. Andrew W. Mellon, former Senator George Whar- ton Pepper, and the National Commit- tee, comprising more than 200 outstand- ing men and women, representing as they ‘do the social, economic and re- ligious interests of the country at large. I have always felt strongly that in all our work on Mount St. Alban we are acting as trustees for the Nation as a whole. While the Cathedral is geo- graphically related to Washington, it would signally fail of its purpose if it lacked that breadth and comprehensive- ness of vision that would make it in reality ‘a house of prayer for all people.” “I face the future, with its heavy re- sponsibilities, with increasing courage and hope. With Thomas Carlyle I hold that ‘a new splendor of God must come out of the heart of this industrial age,’” Maryland that comprise the diocese. | Marking the sixth anniversary of his consecration as Bishop of Washington, Right Rev. James E. Freeman has outlined the progress being made in erec- tion of the cathedral on Mount St. Alban’s, and discussed the condition of the Episcopal Church in this diocese.

Pershing and Bishop Freeman, who are directing the ARMY'S ABERDEEN DISPLAY OCT. 10 Day and Night Program Will Include Firing of Modern War Weapons. Before leading engineers and indus- | trial executives of the United States, | who in case of war would become the Nation's munitions makers, a day-and- night program of massed firing by the | mightiest weapons and most modern | battle equipment yet developed by the | Army will be staged at Aberdeen prov- | ing ground, in Maryland, October 10, | on the occasion of the eleventh annual | meeting of the Army Ordnance Asso- clation. Plans for the spectacle, now nearing completion under Maj. Gen. Clarence G. Williams, chief of ordnance, U. S. play in action of virtually every im. portant development in Army ordnance material since the World War, including the latest mechanized fighting equip- ment, anti-aircraft artillery, bombs and bombing planes and chemical warfare implements. To Use Real Projectiles. Five thousand members of the Army Ordance Association and affiliated technical and engineering socleties are expected to witness the demonstration. Cabinet officials, naval and military officers of high rank and observers from most of the armies of the world will be present. For the first time delegates of the National Aeronautic Association and the National Metal Trades Asso- ciation wili attend an c.unance firing program. Ranging from the largest type gun in use this country, a giant seacoast rifle capable of hurling a ton of steel a distance of 30 miles, down to spiteful little machine guns of the most im- proved design for anti-aircraft use, weapons which have been perfected by the Army to repel invasion from air, land or sea, will be exhibited during the display. Full-strength service charges of explosives and actual battlefield projectiles are to be used. Crack Units to Participhte. Co-operating with the Ordnance De- g:rtment throughout the program will crack demonstration units of the Field Artillery, Coast Artillery, Infan- try, Signal Corps, Chemical Warfare Service and the Air Corps. These are to be ordered from various Army posts in the East and South. Opening with a realistic exhibition of the Army’'s new .50-caliber machine gun and a 37-mm. automatic cannon in the morning, the program will run con- tinuously throughout the day and into the night, ending with batteries of late type anti-aircraft guns and searchiights tracking down airplanes and attempt- ing to riddle the sleeve targets which the aircraft will tow across the sky. New Equipment to Be Shown. Giant strides the Army has made during last year in the development of mechanized field equipment, anti- aircraft artillery and aerial warfare will get their first public demonstration in special exhibitions. Though no details have been announced. Gen. Willlams has indicated that a model mechanized force will be shown in action, complete with tanks, armored vans and troop- carrying cross-country vehicles. For the Air Corps demonstration, in which aerial acrobatics and combat maneuvers will be performed by Army flyers, bombing planes and pursuit ships will be sent from Langley Field, Va, and Selfridge Ficld, Mich., re- spectively. Coast defense guns will be fired un- der battle conditions. The largest type, 16-inch, with a range of 30 miles, will send its 2,100-pound projectile out into Chesapeake Bay. A inch railway gun, using 450 pounds of powder, will hurl 1,560 pounds of steel shell a dis- tance of 25 miles. Field Artillery to Use New 75's. Batteries' of fleld artillery demon- strating the new 75-millimeter gun re- cently adopted as standard for the Army are to be seen in action. Other artillery pieces that will be fired are a 75-millimeter Infantry mortar, which can be taken apart and carried into the field by hand; an improved 10! millimeter “howitzer, and a self-pi pelled 155-millimeter gun with a trav- eling speed of 10 miles an hour. Under a variety of simulated war conditions, smoke screens, recent war gases and explosives of terrific strength will be tested. Bombs ranging from tiny devices for speclal uses to glant “eggs,” earth rending In their tremendous force, will be exploded. A new -smokeless and hless powder, which is also moisture proof, will be exhibited by firing & 75-millimeter fiéld plece.

STAR, WASHINGTON, QUAKE RIPS STREET IN HILO, HAWAI Church Marred as Seismo- graph Shows 50 Shocks in 24 Hours. By the Associated Press, HILO, Hawall, September 28.—An earthquake rocked the entire city of Hilo at 7:30 am. today. One of the main streets was ripped apart in two places. . The Catholic church which was moved on its foundations, was marred by a dozen cracks. The shock was similar in viclousness to that which caused $100,000 damage in thé Kona district on the western or opposite side of Hawail Island It was the first shock felt in Hilo of the series of quakes that have kept the populace of the Kona district terror stricken since Monday night. Near Kona District. rg::m is approximately 60 air-line miles 1 Kona district, which has been shaken almost continually following the first shock Monday night caused by movements of lava within the craters of the volcanoes Mauna Loa, Kilauea and Hualalai. The volcano observatory at Kilauea, reported that 50 earthquakes in the past 24 hours were recorded on its seismograph, in such manner as to in- dicate that two columns of lava were rising to the surface. General belief is that the lava will make its appear- ance from the craters of Hualalai or Mauna Loa, as predicted by Volcanol- ogist Thomas A. Jaggar. Residents Moving Out. Residents in the country to the north of Hilo were moving their belongings across the Wailuku River today in an attempt to get away from the Puu O0 district where the quakes seemed to be concentrated. The district is about 15 miles east of Hilo and is sparsely settled. After a lull yesterday, a series of shocks began at 10 o'clock last night. With increasing intensity they were felt over the entire island of Hawail with the result that residents’ nerves were strained almost to the breaking point.

IGERMAN WAR GUILT BILL SUBMITTED Steel Helmet Organization’s Step for Plebiscite “Em- barrassing.” By the Associatzd Press, BERLIN, September 28.— After months of pro and anti propaganda, the first definite step toward a pro- posed plebiscite in Germany on the “war guilt” question and the Young plan was taken today when a bill was formally submitted to the minister of the interior by leaders of the Steel Her- met Organization. The law, which is called a bill for a plebiscite “against the enslavement of the German people,” was submitted by Alfred Hugenberg, prominent indus- trial magnate and Nationalist leader, and Franz Seldte. Hugenberg and Seldte signed the bill as official repre- sentatives of the Steel, Helmet's national plebiscite committee and German Na- tionalist party. In addition, 5,000 sig- natures were attached. ‘The bill is as follows: (1) The German government shall notify all foreign powers immediately and -solemnly that the enforced ac- treaty of Versailles is contrary to his- torical truth; is based on false premises and is not binding in international law. (2) The German government shall use all endeavors to secure the annul- ment of the war guilt acknowledgment contained in article 231 and articles 429 and 430 of the treaty of Versailles. | 1t shall also undertake to secure the immediate and unconditional evacua- tion of the occupied German territories, without any remaining control commis- sions, independently of the acceptance or the rejection of The Hague conven- | tion. 3. No_ further financial burdens or | obligations based on the war guilt ac- | knowledgment shall be assumed, inclu- sive of those arising from the recom- | mendations of the Paris reparations experts. 4.

" | _As for the practical side of the issue, | the Jfate of the Nationalists bill hinges on the improbable contingency that | one-third of the Reichstag, 164 of 491 | members, can be found to vote for shelving the enforcement of the Young plan. Even then 2,000,000 signatures of [ electors would be needed to hold a | plebiscite, while 4,000,000 signatures would be needed if the necessary one- ithlrd vote in the Reichstag should be | unobtainable. | . But when it came to the plebiscite \itself, no one here imagines that 21, 000,000 Germans, one-half of the elec- | torate, couid be induced to register their assent to the Nationalist demand.
