A4 * ING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., "TUESDAY, APRIL’S8, 1930. U S, WOMEN PERI TAGUE CONFERENCE Demand Nationality Question -Be Deferred or Ameri- cans Withdraw. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. ** At London, the five-power naval con- ference is about to break up because of dissension from within. At The Hague the First World Conference for Codification of Internacwne ‘Law may collapse within a few hours on word from Washington that the American delegation is prepared to withdraw un- | less the question of the nationality of women is_left over for a subsequent conference. ; That tense situation has arisen be- chuse of the transfer to The Hague of the question of “equal rights for ‘women,” the issue of which the Na- tional Woman's Party is the . chief protagonist in the United States. Faced by:the imminent peril that the con- ference may adopt an international law code making nationality distinctions be- tween men and women, groups of women | arranged to wait on President Hoover | at the White House today. They de- | sire that-he insist upon_postporiement of the whole question. If the confer- ence is unwilhng to defer action, the ' women want the President to order America’s spokesmen at The Hague to bolt the conference and come home. Crisis Reached in Week End. Matters boiled to a crisis during the recent week end. On Saturday the na- tionality committee of the conference | adopted four articles of a proposed con- | vention on the nationality of married women. All the articles represent bit- ter_disappointment to the women from various parts of the world, especially America, who mobilized at The Hague to press their claims for complete equality in status with men. The leader of the American forces on the confer- ence ground is Miss Doris Stevens of New York, chairman of the Inter- American Commission of Women. The “equal rights” principle, for which Miss Stevens and her co-workers are battling, commands the support of a powerful group of United States Sen- ators, with whom the fate of an even- tual code treaty would rest. Their s are typified by the attitude of Senator Borah. The chairman of the foreign relations committee. states that he is “absolutely opposed to the inclu- sion in the proposed world code of any nationality clause discriminating against wamen.” Other. Senators who ‘hav piedged themselves to oppose ratifica- tion of a_discriminatory code include Pittman, Caraway, Fess, Capper, John- son, Connally, Bratton, Sheppard, 8hip- stead, Shortridge, Stephens, Wheeler and George. Final Vote Starts Tomorrow. The final vote-in plenary sessjon on the launching of the world code is ex- pected to begin at The Hague tomor- row. The point the women's delegation will press with President Hoover is that inion on the nationality issue is so ivided that time is required to clarify it. The American delegation, with the epproval of the State Department, in- troduced a resolution recommending to the various governments “the study of the principle that in their law and practice relating to nationality there shall be no distinction besed on sex, with ular consideration of the in- terests of children involved in the. ap- cation of that principle.” The na- ity ‘committes adopted the reso- lIution, 19 to 6. ‘The Aargument on behalf of the American delégation was made by Mrs. Ruth B. Shipley, head of the passport f the State Department. Act- ing Secretary of State Cotton is con- vinced there will be no_international agreement on’the nationality issue as a result of The Hague conference. “There is almost hopeleas diagreement on this question between the nations of the world at the present time,” he declares. Secrecy and Haste Charged. It is for this reason that President Hoover is being urged at the eleventh hour to order the American delegation to quit The Hague. The “intolerable” articles adopted last week are described 8s of League of Nations origin. The United States had nothing to do with their preparation and the Senate is said to be in total ignorance of their contents. Another criticism directed against The Hague proceedings, in gen- eral, is that they have been conducted in secrecy and haste. The conference assembled March 13 and is on the verge of adjournment. The igterval is assailed by the equal-rights-for-women leaders as far too briaf for the launching of so important a matter as & world code. The burden’ of the women's fight at The Hague has fallen upon Dr. Cru- chaga, ‘the chief delegate of Chile, re- membered in Washington as the former Chilean Ambassador to the United States. (Copyright, 1930.) $60,000 BID MADE FOR MAYFLOWER Only Three Offers for Presidential Yacht, Lowest Being $15,665. ‘Three bidders today sought to buy the famous presidential yacht Mayflower when it was offered for sale for the fourth time at the Navy Depagtment. The ‘decision on the purchase will rest | with Acting Secretary Ernest Lee Jahncke, who will likely make known his_attitude later in the day. ‘The Order of Herman, a fishing, hunting and sportsmen’s _association, with headquarters near Easton, Pa. through its national secretary, M. Gluck, submitted an offer of $60,000 for the vessel, to be paid at the rate of $6,000 a year for 10 years. As no de- posit was inclosed, as directed by the | specifications, it is necessary to put the question up to Rear Admiral David F. Sellers, the judge advocate general, as to whether or not the Navy can waive | the point that no deposit was inclosed. ‘The second bid was from the Boston Iron & Metal Co. of Baltimore, Md., which said that it desires the .vessel | for scrapping and offered $15,665 for | the historic craft, inclosing a deposit of $3,500. . ‘The third bid was from John W. Hub- bard of Pittsburgh, Pa., wealthy steel and: shovel manufacturer and a friend of Becretary Melion, his deposit bemg $11,300 for the Mayflower toward his bid, of $35,000. highest bid previously received in fthe four times the vessel was of- fered for sale was $51,000, but this was rejected. The last time the ship was put'up for sale not a single offer came forWard. The Mayflower is now out ot :flwmmgn at the navy yard at Phila- el a. BERDPRRIN-+.) 1) shion Decrees Purple Lips.

HOLD-UP SUSPECT AND CAPTOR Above: Policeman I. Rossiter of the minth precinct and Howard Harry Baer. Baer was captured last night by Police- man Cleota Langdon (below) in an encounter, during which the policeman fired two shots in a vain effort to halt the youth’s fecing companion. Baer has been identified as the bandit who held up a filling station. Star Staff Photos. AUTO TAGS BETRAY HOLD-UP SUSPECT; COMPANION ESCAPES | (Continued From First Page) ordered him to turn in. Fearing the consequences if he turned off the traveled street, Miller decided to chance it and keep straight ahead. As the machine approached Sixth and H streets, Miller informed the other man that he was “almost out of gaso= line. Maybe you'd better drive,” Mil- ler said. “That’s a good idea” the other re- plied. Miller stopped the car, complied with the stranger's demand to hand over his money, about $4 in bills and change, and stepped from the car. The bandit drove off at a high rate of speed after ordering Miller to walk back down the road. Miller's description of the robber tallled with that given of Baer's com- panion. Miller's automobile is still missing. Grapples With Policeman. Shortly after midnight Policeman Langdon thought he spotted a set of Ohio tags reported involved in an auto- mobile theft. He ordered the driver to pull over to_the curb. Baer and his companion stopped the car and jumped to the sidewalk. Baer's companion, Langdon said. pulled a gun and the policeman grappled with him The other wrenched free, howeyer, and darted away while Langdon produced his gun and’got a grip on Baer. The policeman fired twice after the fugitive, but directed his shots upward, because there were a number of people on_the streets. Baer was booked for investigation at No. 9 precinct and taken to head- quarters today for further questioning. He denied knowing the identity of his companion and inststed he had nothing to do with any of the three robberies. Arrived in Heavy Sedan. The filling station manager said the hold-up men arrived in & heavy sedan, which he later identified, and parked at some distance from the station, switching off their lights. A few min- utes later one of the station attendants went across the street for a cup of coffee, leaving *Newell alone on the premises. The bandits’ automobile then rolled up, the two men alighted and pur- chased gasoline. One followed inside the station, as if to obtain his change, and then ordered Newell into the rear of the room. Police say Baer had about $39 on him when he was arrested. A search of the automobile disclosed two sets of Ohio. tags and one set of District tags.

A campaign was launched today by the Monday Evening Club to ask the House to pass the Capper bill to au- thorize expenditure of $625,000 in con- struction of a sanatorium for tubercu- lar children of Washington. The meas- ure was approved yesterday by the Senate. The Senate action on the Capper bill_encouraged the various groups of health workers interested in this me ure and especially to the children’s sanatorium committee, which was or- ganized more than three years sgo by the Monday Evening Club to foster the project, it was said today. This com- mittee includes Dr. William T. Fowler, | health officer; George S. Wilson, di- rector of public welfare; Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of public schools; Dr. F. C.

Mrs. Ward's husband, H. S. Ward. has asked Attorney General Mitchell to take action on these charges. At the' office of the Secretary of the | Interior Wilbur it was said today that! the whole matter had been turned over | to F. E.

PLAN CONSIDERED | School-on-Wheels Idea Taken Up by Virginia Officials. RICHMOND, Va. (A).—Schools on| wheels, equipped with blackboards, desks | and other necessities, are being consid ered by the Virginia department of edu- cation. They would be used in isolated sec- tions, especially the sparsely settled mountain regions. Morris Hart, State superintendent, | ligious affiliation. ers, representing more than 100 churches, were held last night. Dr. Earl Kernahan, director of the cam- paign, and members of his staff visited the various conferences, listened to the problems of the workers and gave ad- vice. The evangelist urged the men and women to “capitalize the dynamic in the movement.” Dr. Kernahan reported 1,019 persons of all denominations “made definite Christian decisions” on the first day of the drive. The evangelist said these were not “merely perfunctory promises of church attendance, but we have ac- tually won their souls.” Among the conference visitors last night were four ministers from Rich- mond, Va. They came here to obtain pointers for use in a similar campaign |in their city soon. They are Rev. R. J. Black, minister of education of the Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church; Rev. Lee Sheppard, assistant pastor of the First Baptist Church; Rev. Wade H. Bryant, pastor of the Barton Heights Baptist Church,*and Rev. J. S. Albert- son, pastor of the Lakeside Presbyterian Church. The Richmond survey preparatory to the visitation campaign is being con- ducted by Rev. L. E. Ripley, an assist- ant of D Kernahan. Hip Fractured be Fall.

Agitated by the damage suffered by one of the portable school buildings at the Jefferson Junior High School yes- terday resulting in the narrow escape of 35 children, Dr. Charles F. Carusi, pres! dent of the Board of Education, today called on Dr. Frank W. Ballow, superin- tendent- of schools, to request the mu- nicipal architect to make an immediate inspection of the portable schools still in use with & view to evolving a plan by which the overhanging roofs can be se- curely anchored to the framing and wall structure. In his letter Dr. Carusi points out that the Spring season of frequent high winds is now upon the city and that since virtually every storm which strikes the Capital takes it toll in some sort of damage from the portable schools the children attending these one-room frame structures are constantly subject to that menace. Emergency Action. He suggests that the municipal archi- tect's engineers study the buildings not only to determine which are not tenable at present but how those which ap- parently are in good condition may be strengthened against destruction or damage by the winds. This action he is taking, the board president tells Dr. Ballou, because the next meeting of the board is 10 days away and the character of the emergency as shown by yester- day’s experience is of such as to war- rant immediate attention. Invariably when the portable schools | are damaged by storm it is shown that one or more of the assembled sections | of the roof which overhangs the vertical | walls a distance of approximately three | feet have simply been lifted up as the | 1id of a box and hurled either backward on the remaining section of the roof or dashed to the playground below. Al- though every single storm of any pro- portions similar to yesterday's wind has resulted in some damage to the port- ables, no child has yet been hurt. Can't Depend on Luck. In most cases in the past the damage occurred at a time when the classes' were not actually in session, either dur- ing the night or in the late afternoons after dismissal or, as in one instance. | at the luncheon recess, when most of | the children were not only out of the! buflding. but were away from it either at their homes or in the main school bullding. | Commenting on the portable menace today, Dr. Carusi declared that such luck as has preserved children from in- jury or death in previous storms as well as in yesterday's cannot be expected to | continue forever and that every means | available should be taken bv the re- | sponsible authorities, from the presi- | dent of the Board of Education and | the superintendent of schools down. to | assure the children the maximum pro- | tection which they can have while they are being quartered in the portable schools ! Jere J. Crane, first assistant super- intendent of schools in charge of busi- ness affairs, who is an_architect, de- | clared following his initial inspection of portable scheols last Summer that | structurally, the one-room structures | in use here are better designed and bulit than most houses. He pointed out that the roof beams and ceiling sup- ports were so trussed as to approximate bridge construction. which, he contend- ed, would protect children in times of ex- treme duress. In every storm. how- | ever, these buildings have suffered some sort'of damage, either, as in yesterday's storm, the loss of a roof section, or a section of the wall paneling. Bugler Famous Thirty Years Ago Soon to Retire | Lieut. Col. Titus Was First to Scale Peiping Walls Against Boxers. By the Associated Press. Thirty years ago the United States year-old bugler, Calvin P. Titus, Vinton, Iowa, who, hoisted on the end the walls of Peiping in the first attack on that city during the Boxer Rebellion. Today .the bugler, now Lieut. Col. Titus of the Infantry, stationed at Fort Benning, Ga., was ordered by the War Department to proceed to his home August 15 and await retirement. The after'30 years' service. As the result of his exploit, Bugler Titus was awarded the Medal of Honor and an appointment to the Military Academy at West Point, from which he emerged with a commission. President Roosevelt himself honored Titus for his feat by going to the Mil- itary Academy to pin the medal of honor on the cadet’s blouse. Titus' act gave the American soldiers the honor of having entered the walled city in advance of any soldiers from the other allied powers who fought with the American.

This was the type used by Benjamin Pranklin in his famous lightning experiment of 1752. 1In fact, he used a silk handker- chief and two sticks. The square kite is formed of two sticks of equal length joined at right angles at their cen- ters, and framed with string. A good | size would be one made of sticks 30 inches long and five-sixteenths of an inch square. In the second drawing at | “A” & good method of lashing the cross-sticks together is shown. The string should be tightly wrapped around the joint at right angles to the edges, and finally carried around the lashing on the plane where the sticks cross, to tighten the joint. Glue can be used in such a joint. The method of fastening the string to the ends of the sticks is shown at-“B.” A cut is made in| the end of the stick and the framing string forced therein. The string is then carried around the end of the stick, a§ shown by the dotted lines, | again inserted in the cut and carried | on to the next end. This method has | the advantages of anchoring the string well and also binding the end of the stick to prevent splitting.

Fold this margin over the string or sticks and glue down. Cloth should be reinforced by sewing. Always keep the fabric smooth and use no more glue than is necessary. The tail can be hung by the use of &n intermediate string, as shown by In this drawing the solid line represents the sticks, the dot- ted line the outline string. The bridle is the method of connec- tion between the kite string and the kite surface. It is important that it be properly made and adjusted to the amount of wind blowing. The bridle for the square kite is made of two strings tied to opposite ends of the sticks and long enough so that when joined at a point above the kite sur- face they will form a pyramid with a 60-degree angle at the apex. The kite string should be attached to this apex, | and the kite will fly at the proper angle if the apex be nearer the top of the | kite than the bottom, as shown in the little drawing in the lower left corner.
