BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CUTS DOWNTOWN SECTION Moran Explains Constitutional Barrier to Annexation, Prevent- ing Great “Growth” as in Some Cities—Many Move Into Sub- urbs and Cannot Be Counted. The population of Washington s shown by the 1930 census to be 485,716, an increase of 11 per cent over 1920. The population figures as an- nounced for publication last night by J. Sterling Moran, census su- pervisor for the District, disclose that the downtown area has ex- perienced a marked decrease in the last decade, due chiefly to the development of property for busi- mess purposes. Mr. Moran estimates that the metropolitan area, including near- by Virginia and Maryland coun- ties, would include between 600, 900 and 700,000 persons. He pointed out, however, that since the boundaries of the Dis- trict were limited by the Consti- tution and the city could not avail itself of adjoining territory by an- nexation, it would not be possible 1o fix the. fely.

BY THEODORE C. WALLEN. An exchange of notes between the United States, Great Britain and Japan to close a “loophole” in_ the London treaty which might allow Great Britain 23 big cruisers a year after the United States reached its full treaty strength of 18, according to the general board of the Navy, is under contemplation. A proposal to that effect was made by Senator Claude A. Swanson, Demo- crat, of Virginia, to the Senators spon- sor! the adminsitration's ratification effort. The Virginia Senator, a mem- ber of the foreign relations committee, ‘which is holding hearings on the treaty, said that, unless the “treaty ambiguity” on the point could be cleared up by an exchange of notes the Senate would be justified in adopting a reservation to safeguard the American position. Expects Agreement Abroad. ‘The Senator sald he had no doubt that Great Britain and Japan would readily agree with the United States n an interpretation of the treaty sec- n involved, which has been construed to permit the laying down in the last three years of the treaty of 8-inch gun cruisers to replace maturing 6-inch gun cruisers, Since Great Britain is allowed to lay down cruisers for 86,350 tons of such replacements falling due in 1937, 1938 and 1939, as against 14,100 for the United States and 18,000 for Japan, Rear Admiral Hilary P. Jones (retired) has pointed out that the entire cruiser housing | ratio agreed upon in the treaty might ;eura ago, with the lack of acilities, there have been considcrable changes in the movement of popula- tion in the District. Many Move to Suburbs. “One outstanding feature is that the downtown precincts all show a decrease in population since 1920. This is oc- casioned by much of the territory being taken over for business purposes and the improved transportation ‘acilities, which make it possible for people to live farther trom their places of bLusi- ness and employment. Many of these people who have moved from the con- gested s of the city have gone over into Maryland and Virginia.” In that connection, Mr. Moran ¢m- phasized that the preliminary report of the population “does not in sny sense represent the metropolitan dis- trict of Washington.” “If it were legally possible to include the thickly populated suburban terri- tory that would naturally be absorbed by ‘any other large city, the population of Washington would show between 600,000 and 700,000 people,” he raid. Mr. Moran's announcement was in the nature of a preliminary report, but he said it was not believed the final count would reveal any great change from the preliminary statement, not- withstanding that from 200 to 300 per- sons have refused wo give information for themselves and about 200 apart- iments have not been heard from. Precinets Show Changes. ‘Mr. Moran announced the popula- tion by police precincts, which were the subdivisions of the District to which the 404 enumerators were assigned. In six precincts where boundaries are the same as in 1920, estimated percentages of increases and decreases show that while the population in the second, third and fifth precincts was increas- ing 23 per cent, the population in the first, fourth and sixth precincts was decreasing 95 per cent. ‘The seventh precinct, which in 1920 bad a population of 29,862, has become (Continued on Page 2, Column 1.) JOHN BRADY GIVEN THREE-YEAR TERM Former Texas Judge Denies Stab- bing Stenographer to Death. By the Associated Press. DALLAS, Tex., May 17—John W. Brady, 60, former judge of the Texas Civil Court of Appeals, today was sen- tenced to three years in the peniten- tia) for the fatal stabbing of Miss Lehlia Highsmith, 28-year-old stenog- rapher, at Austin last November 9. The sentence was fixed by the jury, which convicted Brady on a charge of be upset in the absence of a mutual ent to make replacements in like units only. A confidential analysis of the treaty by the naval intelligence division, a summary of which was obtained for publication yesterday, stresses the fact that the treaty, in authorizing the powers to proceed with construction for these replacements, fails to restrict the new tonnage to the same kind of cruisers that are to be scrapped. Admiral Jones made the point that while there could be no question of the good intentions of the present British government, no one could say what might be the attitude of the govern- ment in control in England when this {l’gl‘leement work was to be begun, in Jones Outlines British Positions. If Prance should go through with her announced intention to have ten 8-inch-gun cruisers and Italy with her determination to match France, Great Britain might, with perfect propriety, proceed to use the available replace- ment tonnage to build 8-inch-gun ships instead of the 6-inch-gun ships in (Continued on Page 4, Column 1) ROCKET MOTOR PIONEER KILLED German Is Hurt Fatally as Piece of Engine Blows Out and Hits Neck. By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, May 17.—Max Valier, Ger- man pioneer in experiment and research with rocket motors, was injured fatally today while working on & model of & new liquid-oxygen rocket. A plece of the recoil motor blew out and struck Valier in the neck. His jugular vein was severed. Two sclen- tists working with him at the time were uninjured. It was Valier's ambition one day to attempt flying the Atlantic with a rocket airplane vquigned with these motors. He believed he could do it in a few hours. Valier, who was the chief German ex- ponent of the rocket principles of pro- pulsion, last April 19 attained a speed of 50 miles an hour in a rocket car of his own design, which he had equipped with Dr. Heylandt's “'vest pocket” rocket motor. The car, with Valier at the wheel, covered a distance of 2 miles, which was belleved to be a record for rocket car$, GALLANT FOX WINS DERBY EASILY OVER FIELD OF FOURTEEN WITH SANDE RIDING Gallant Knight Runs Second, With Ned O Taking Third and Gone Away Fourth Money on Kentucky Track. |JOCKEY IS VICTORIOUS THIRD TIME IN CLASSIC Winner of Preakness Enters as Favorite and Outclasses All Others in Race—Lord Derby Presents Trophy to Owner of ‘Woodward Stables. BY GRANTLAND RICE. Special Dispatch to The Star. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 17.—For a brief moment, as they went to the post in the fifty-sixth Ken- tucky Derby, there was a lull where 70,000 people were silent as 70,000 ghosts. Then there came the old cry of the track, “They’re off.” And just a moment later there was an- other old-fashioned war cry that every leading track has heard. It was, “Come on, Sande!” Sande, the veteran, was riding Gallant Fox, the favorite. And when they came swirling down the stretch just 2 minutes and 7 sec- onds later there was no need to repeat the call, for Sande and Gal- lant Fox were out for a holiday. Gallant Fox was breezing along three lengths in the lead and Sande was looking back. Gallant Knight was coming on, but he never had a chance. Ned O was closing in, but Buck Fore- man’s fast sprinter down the stretch was too far away. Ned O was eating up the track, but he had too much of the track to di- gest with only an eighth to go. Gone Away was trailing Ned O, in fourth place, but when you get right down to it, there was only one horse in the race. This horse was Galiant Fox,, winner of the Wood Memorial and winner of the Preakness. He won by three lengths, galloping in 2:07 3-5, with Sande sitting up and looking back to see some rival ready to make a challenge. But there was no challenger even close. Took Things Easy. Gallant Fox could have won by an even greater distance if he had been pressed, but there was no other horse in the’ race. The Woodward entry, starting without any rush of excitement, taking life easily as a gentleman far- mer, stuck around third and fourth place until Sande was ready to get down to work. Just before the half- mile post was reached, Gallant Fox slipped on by the fleld and took charge of the race. ‘The red and white of the Woodward Stables suddenly became an orifiamme of victory, a sure beacon of success as Sande and Gallant Fox breezed into the lead at the half-mile post, and the spectators suddenly understood that the race was over. For they know what form means down this way, form and class, and here was the horse that had all the form and class of this race. There was no one else even close. There was no one else as close as the outposts of a Siberian frontier. Sande set his pace, opened up as much gray daylight as he needed, and from that point on it was merely a question as to who might finish second or third. There was all the tradition in the world back of this race. There was double-dyed tradition. In the first place Gallant Fox was bred at the oldest nursery of the American thoroughbred. He was bred at the Belair stables be- tween Baltimore and Washington, which dates back before George Washington's time, back around 1750. This stable raced horses against Gen. Washi before he was ever known as a general and a statesman. Back to Forgotten Years. The breeding spot that sent Gallant Fox into actjon goes back beyond the time of Washington, Light Horse Harry Lee, Mad Anthony Wayne, Lord Corn- wallis and the Revolutionary knights of forgotten years, Ned O., who finished third, came from the same breeding center. Now_there is another echo of tradi- tion. Back in 1919, which is & matter of 11 years ago, Earl Sande had his chance to ride the winner of the Preak- Sir Barton in the derby, for a victory in two of the May classics. Sande could not put Billy Kelly in front of the Canadian horse. Eleven years is a long time to wait. In this stretch or span of time, Sande has been in and out of the racing game. He was (Continued on Page 1, Sports Section.) murder. Attorneys for the defendant an- nounced a new trial would be sought. “I didn't do it, I didn't do it,” Brady cried when the verdict was read. His disavowal was in the face of evidence, undisputed by the defense, that he stabbed the girl to death late the night of November 9 in front of her rooming house in Austin. Brady did not testify at the trial, which was his second. It was testified that Brady had con- ducted an illicit relationship with the girl for several years. Mrs. Brady, 59, told of having obtained a position for Miss Highsmith as a court stenog- rapher at the State Capitol. balanced from drinking. She said Brady and the girl both had promised her before the stabbing that they would give up the affair. Fierce Little Animal, Like Vanishes in By the Associated Press.

PARIS, May ' 17—Foreign Minister Briand's conception of a future “United States of Europe,” or “European Federal Union,” as the proposed organisation is more generally called, today was given in & memorandum to the 28 European states: concerned with France in the plan. The proposed European federation, | most ambitious project which has been considered since the setting up of the League of Nations, will be far from the close union such as exists among the United States of America, according to M. Briand’s memorandum. There will even be little similarity between the two groups, since the most that is suggested for the European union is a type of regular conferences, without charter or constitution. ‘The foremost practical questions such a union might deal with, in Minister Briand's conception, are economic and comprise eventual efforts to lower cus- toms duties of European states among themselves. Conference and Committee, ‘The success of the union rests upon two organizations, a “European con- ference” and a “European committee.” ‘The first would be a sort of deliberate body charged with a study of European interstate problems. The second would correspond somewhat to the council of the League of Nations. It would be the executive instrument of the union. Former Premier Briand purposely limited his suggestions, given out at the foreign office today, to elementary de- tails. He. suggests that certain ques- tions make closer co-ordination of European states necessary. He out that new economic problems, in- cluding customs matters, arose from addition of about 12,000 miles of frontier to the nations of Europe. He suggests that the European union could give its attentions to this important situation. He reiterates his fealty to the League of Nations by stressing that the pro- roud federal union can succeed only t organized in liaison with the League. He suggests that its divisions meet simultaneously with League bodies.

OF BANKS I SEEN Institutions in Pennsylvania May Be Joined, as Well as | Groups in Other States. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 17—If plans which have been in the making for about two years materialize, scores of banks in the United States will be welded into State groups, each group representing combined resources of from $100,000,000 to $500,000,000. News of the proposed uping leaked out today, and the New York firm. of Pomeroy & Salmon acknowledged that it was organizing such groups in West- ern Pennsylvania and ‘“several other States.” The firm's part in the nego- tiations, it said, was merely that of or- ganizer, interesting individual banks in the movement and bringing them into touch with New York financial interests able to underwrite the com- binations. August Belmont & Co. was mentioned as the organization which would finance the Pennsylvania proj- ect, but Morgan Belmont of that firm sald he was not prepared to make any comment on the matter at this time. Each bank will retain its individuality and separate management, but in each of the States affected a holding com- pany will be created through an ex- change of stock with the banks. The proposition is based on the theory that such nuufln: will strengthen each bank locally by giving it the support through the holding company of every other bank in the group. The State groups will have no inter-relation. It could not be learned how soon the work of the organizers might be ex- pected to be completed, but it was said at the Pomeroy & Salmon offices that a formal statement would be issued giv- ing all details,.as soon as-progress of negotiations warranted. t was reported 'that the holding company for the Pennsylvania banks, which it was belleved might number as high as 50, would be known as the \Western Pennsylvania Bancorporation. Unconfirmed reports had it that the exchange of stock between the holding company and the individual banks would be on the basis of class A con- vertible preferred non-voting shares of the holding company equal to the book value of the shares of each bank, and in addition class B voting stock for the good will, based on earnings for the past several years.

GOULD LINCOLN, Staft Correspondent of The Star. PHILADELPHIA, May 17.—Hurling charges of corruption and excessive ex- penditures, the Davis-Brown, Grundy and Pinchot tickets in the Pennsylvania primary for senatorial and gubernatorial nominations wound up their campaigns today with all the candidates hammer- ing away at each other like blacksmiths. Tuesday the voters go to the polls to make their choices after one of the finest. mud-slinging campaigns in the history of the State. All hands claim victory. Bwven the wet ticket, with Francis H. Bohlen, Univer- sity of Pennsylvania law professor, and former Representative Phillips running for Senator and governor, insists that an eleventh-hour wave of wet sentiment will sweep its candidates into the lead. This claim of the wets, however, is not taken too seriously by the politicians here. How can you win a primary, they say, without organization? Despite the public claims made by the leaders in the various camps, they are worried. No one here appears to knew for sure which way the cat is going to jump. One proof of the uncertainty is the lack of betting. Little money is in evidence to back one side or the other in sporting circles. If organization counts, the balance appears to favor the nomination of Secretary James J. Davis of the De- partment of Labor, once an iron pud- dler in Pennsylvania steel mills, over Senator Joseph R. Grundy, millionaire manufacturer and for many years head of the State Manufacturers’ Associa- tion. The same balance appears to favor Davis' running mate, Francis Shunk _Brown, in the gubernatorial race. They are backed by the powerful Republican organizations of Philadel- phia and Allegheny County, which in- cludes Pittsburgh. This does not mean, however, that Grundy is without organization. Far from it. Senator Grundy has been the big money raiser in political campaigns for years. He knows where to get it and where to spend it. He has back of him the Pennsylvania manufacturers with few exceptions. According to re- ports he has built himself a real or- ganization out in the State where there (Continued on Page 4, Column 5.) TRUJILLO WINS BIG VICTORY IN DOMINGO By the Associated Press. SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Re- public, May 17.—Incomplete returns from the election yesterday indicate that one of the heaviest votes in Do- minican history was cast, despite the withdrawal of Aliancista candidates and the party's manifesto urging its members to abstain from voting. Gen. Rafael Leonas Trujillo, govern- ment candidate for President, received a great majority. H. H. Lopez Penha, secretary of the Junta Central Elec- toral, said today he doubted that Fed- erico Velasquez, the Aliancista candi- date, received 10,000 votes out of the total of between 170,000 and 200,000. No reports of election violence have been received, although a couple of heads were smashed this morning as a result of post-election hilarity.

At first all of them were inclined to belleve he was a mental patient who was retailing information and facts obtained from newspaper ac- counts of the crime, but subsequent de- velopments caused some of them to pre- dict that they are at last on the way to a solution of the murder mystery. After a grueling inquisition yesterday, Brewster dropped his nonchalant atti- tude and became surly toward the de- tectives and Department of Justice agents. ‘When Brewster showed indications of breaking down under the ordeal of re- peated questioning, the investigators suddenly stopped interrogating him and returned him to the guard house in the barracks of the headquarters company to which he is attached at 18th and B streets. At this point he is said to have begun relating the details of a killing in Connecticut in which he sald he participated. Plan Mental Test. In view of the soldier's conflicting storles and his strange actions, arrange- ments have been made to have him ex- amined by a psychiatrist. The exam- ination probably will take several days. In the meantime the officials an- nounced they would make no effort to question him further, although they plan to resume the inquisition immedi- ately after completion of the scientific observation. Some of the detalls of one of Brew- ster's confessions made in the presence of and signed as witnesses by Lieut. Edward J. Kelly, head of the homiclde squad of the Detective Bureau: Detec- tive Sergt. Walter Fowler and Capt. A. R. Bolling, commanding the headquar- ters company of the district of Wash- ington, were learned yesterday. Brewster declared in this confession that he had been drinking on the after- noon of April 11, and while watching an amateur base ball game on one of the diamonds near Seventeenth and B streets he saw a woman climb into an automobile parked on B street about the middle of the block between Fif- teenth and Seventeenth and ap- proached her with the greeting, “Hello.” “I don't know you,” the woman answered, the soldier declared.

The confession which is typewritten consumes two and one half pages and is a direct statement by Brewster which he said he made of his own free will. Rice, who was one of the three wit- nesses who saw a man struggling with a woman in Miss Baker's car near Seventeenth and B streets, said he thought Brewster resembled somewhat the man in the “gray” cap he saw in the machine. The other two witnesses, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Woods, were not able to identify him, however. Masters picked Brewster out of & line-up of nine men and said he “bore a striking resemblance” to a man he saw running through Arlington Ceme- tery with a bundle under his arm on the evening Miss Baker was murdered. Mrs. Masters who was with her husband and also saw the man in the cemetery was unable to identify the soldier in the line-up. Kept Story Secret. For two weeks the investigators have been secretly trying to locate the man whom Mr. and Mrs. Masters saw in the cemetery, and their story was re- vealed for the first time yesterday after Mr, Master's partial identification of the soldier.
