A4 - VETERANS FETED - ATWHITE HOUSE Nearly 1,000 Attend Garden Party—Mrs. Hoover Helps " Entertain Guests. President and Mrs. Hoover were hosts at a garden party in the White House grounds yesterday afternoon to almost 1,000 veterans from the service hos- pitals in and near Washington. The occasion was notable as the first large function at the White House for nearly three months at which Mrs. Hoover has been able to be present, due to her recent iliness. She appeared with the President smiling and appar- ently in the best of health, and easily withstood the fatiguing task of greeting each veteran and other guests present with a handshake. Congratulations to Mrs, Hoover on her recovery were ex- tended on all sides The scene on the White House grounds was reminiscent of war days and this effect was heightened by the presence of many veterans in uniform and the ploturesque uniforms worn by the Red Cross and other relief organization workers. The United States Marine Band, led by Capt. Taylor Branson. from a band- stand near the spraying fountain played World War tunes and other patriotic ballads and songs. Gay striped mar- quees in different. parts of the grounds sheltered refreshment tables piled high with sandwiches, cakes, candies, dces and other delicacies. Three Cabinet Members Present. Three cabinet officers, Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson. Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Melion and Secretary of War Patrick J. Hurley, were among the most active assistants of the Chief Executive and the First Lady in entertaining the guests of honor. ‘The Becretary of the Treasury, as in | er , found his autograph great- 1';"1': dem on the identification cards veterans. flfs('l':‘e.w Reed Smoot of Utah and his bride were present. President and Mrs. Hoover greeted the couple, who are their house guests at present, as they passed down the line after the veterans had been . received. Mrs. Smoot wore & gown of colorful flowered chiffon, wil &n eggshell hat and slippers. ‘Another group attracting wide atten- tion was the “bouquet of American beauties,” pretty girls in gay Summer frocks selected from the personnel of the Veterans' Bureau and representing every State in the Union. They wore wide sashes identifying their States and * carried baskets of cigarettes which had been contributed by the Cross to be_distributed among the veterans The veterans arrived by Army bus. ambulance and other conveyances. A note of sadness crept through the merry groups when a huge Army truck unloaded a number of wheel chairs and these were placed with military pre- cision side by side facing the south ico of the White House, down the o P aides, would pacs ver, escorted by their aides, on their way to the big oak, where they stood to receive their guests. “Hail to the Chief” Played. en all the guests and the veterans ha‘\,iv,:ssembled the notes of “Hall to the | Chief” were sounded by the United States Marine Band, and President and Mrs. Hoover, ed by the White House military and Navy aides in white ‘Summer uniforms, came down the steps and went to the receiving place. | Then the long procession of veterans ' began.

The veterans were anxious to see the White House dogs, but they did not appear, the only pet in evidence being a black cat which sat on the shrubbery- | covered railing leading from the Presi- dent’s office into the grounds. Many of the veterans, who made friends with the opossum in the round yard espe- clally built for it, looked for their old friend in vain. Generally aiding to the comfort of the guests was Mrs, Gertrude Baugh- man, who wore her Grey Ladies' uni- form; Warren Delano Robbins and Irving H. Hoover, the head usher. Through the thoughtfulness of the Pirst Lady. many of the veterans in the hospitals, who were unable to at- tend the party, enjoyed delicacies simi- | 1ar to those of the more fortunate ones, who were able to be there. Mrs. Hoover | sent large quantities -of ices, cakes and | sandwiches by special messenger to the varfous hospitals. Veteran Realizes Ambition. There, was one patient at the party, Sergt. Tom Cushing of Boone, N. C, who served in the Air Corps. He ar- | rived accompanied by a nurse and sev- eral Grey Ladies, including Miss Fran- cesca McKenney and Miss Katharine Peters. One veteran, Hugh N. Wright, from Mount Alto, declared that to shake hands with the President of the United States had been his test ambition. great Mrs. Hoo- | Wright served in the 4th Division, 58th Infantry. One of the veterans, who was decorated for gallantry in action in the World War, was H. S. Dalton of Richmond, Va., who served in the 80th Division. ‘There was & Summer style show in the offing at the party, with organdies and chiffons predominating. Mrs. Henry L.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif., July 17.— Prankie Foster, Chicago gangster, whom police had held secretly in the county jail here since Tuesday night, was placed aboard a train for his return trip to the Illinois city at 11:45 pm. last night. | _Despite efforts of Edgar Dudley and John Scherping, Ch! detectives, to keep secret the whereabouts of their | prisoner, who is under indictment for the slaying of Alfred Lingle, Chicago newspaper man, Mrs. Foster stepped out on the vestibule when they boarded the train. “You'd like to know how I found out you were going to put Foster on this train, wouldn't you?” she said to the officers. The detectives made two false starts in an effort to keep every one in the dark concerning Foster, announcing first they had put him on an airplane for the return from Los Angeles and next that he had started by train earlier in the day. They said the secrecy was meant to throw gangsters off the trail. Gangsters, they believe, may attempt to kill or kid- nap Foster. Mrs. Foster was arrested in Los Angeles with her husband, but later released. NEWSPAPER MAN DISCHARGED. | | Veteran Police Reporter Had Interest in | Alleged Speakeasy.
