He was taken from the water by life guards and was pronounced dead a half | hour later by Dr. Raymond Williams. Mr. Ross’ son-in-law, L. L. Lipscomb of | New York, was nearly drowned in try- ing to rescue him and was pulled out of the water at the same time and barely revived. The two had gone in swimming short- ly after breakfast, off Fredericksburg avenue, Ventor. They got into diffi- | culty and were being carried out by | the current when the life guards came saw their predicament from the beach and hurried the life guards to their aid.

PROSECUTORS FIND ADDED EVIDENGE IN BAKER DEATHCASE |Probers Decline to Discuss Nature of New Discovery in Murder Mystery. ATTORNEY FOR CAMPBELL | MAKES ATTACK ON GLOTH Charles Henry Smith Declares ‘Whole Investigations Inspired by Political Motives, Startling new evidence in the murder of Mary Baker has been brought to the attention of District authorities, who yesterday took over prosecution of the case, it was learned today. Meanwhile, Charles Henry Smith of Alexandria, attorney for Herbert M. Campbell, attacked Willlam C. Gloth, ommonwealth's attorney of Arlington | County, in announting plans to oppose | vigorously the removal of his client to Washington to face a grand jury in- vestigation on a new warrant charging him with the murder of Miss Baker. While investigators declined to dis- close the nature of the information just obtained after questioning scores of Fer- sons, it was intimated that it constituted a strong link in evidence against Camp- bell.

He circled. the field once, gaining al- titude, and then pointed the plane’s nose for Harbor Grace. Ideal weather waited Mears and Brown on their nine-hour 1,175-mile journey, and ahead across the Atlantic ‘conditions appeared to be favorable for the next 48 hours. They expect to Thop off from Harbor Grace tomorrow morning for Baldonnel Airdrome, near Dublin, 1,900 miles away. It will be on the cirs cumnavigation of the Brown'’s wife, his sister Mary of 2283 East Seventy-seventh street, Chicago, and Mr. Mears’ daughter Elizabeth wers at the field to see them off. “Goodby, Lady,” Brown said as he| kissed his wife and patted her shoulder. ‘Then he kissed his sister and climbed into the cockpit. Miss Mears’ leave-taking from her father was more extended, but none of the women showed emotional strain. Not until the City of New York was fading into the distance did Mrs. Brown give way, and then only for a mement. Miss Mears is the only near relative of the head of the expedition, but back in Berea, Ohio, were two small Browns—Henry James, jr, 6 months old, and Harriet Virginia, aged 3.

A large gas tank separates Mears in his cabin from the pilot's cockpit, the two compartments being connected by his’ strength. According to the authorities, no water was found in Mr. Ross' lungs. His | death was attributed to a heart attack superinduced by overexertion in bat- | tling the strong ocean current. Well Known Turfman. The first information received here | about Mr. Ross’ death was a telephone message o Harry Blake, president of Barber & Ross, Inc., of which hardware business Mr. Ross was chairman of the board of directors. Until the incorpora- tion of the firm in 1927, Mr. Ross had conducted it as its owner for upward of 45 years. Although in~business*in-Washington for half a century, Mr. Ross was equally | well known as a turfman. The polka | dot colors of the Ross stables have been | familiar to race fans at every leading | track throughout the country for 25| years or more. Mr. Ross was more than ordinarily | successful with a moderate-sized but se- | lect stable of thoroughbreds. He was | one of the organizers and former presi- | dent of the Washington Jockey Club, | which operated for years the old Ben- | Mr. Smith charged. Expects to Block Transfer, “Gloth,” he added, “has failed to un- cover a single fota of evidence against Campbell, yet he is trying desperately to pin the murder on him.” Smith predicted he would be able to block the removal of Campbell o Washington because the warrant on which he is expected to be rearrested could not be supported with evidence to prove the crime was committed in Washington. Gloth revealed he would ask that the charge against Campbell be nolle prossed Monday morning when the de- fendant is arraigned before Judge Wal- ter T. McCarthy in Circuit Court in Arlington County. He sald Campbell then would be taken into custody by a deputy United States marshal on a murder warrant sworn out yesterday before United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage by William H. Collins, assistant district attorney. This step would necessitate a re- moval hearing before Barton Philiips. United States commissioner, with offices in Alexandria.

By the Associated Press VIENNA, August 2.—The fate of about 180,000 married couples in Aus- tria who contracted marriages after being divorced today was placed in the hands of their former mates by an | opinion of the Austrian Constitutional | Court in a test case. The Constitutional Court found that it was incompetent to arbitrate the dispute between the political authorities and the law courts which would define the status of marriages made with the aid of civil dispensations. The court said that inasmuch as the ordinary law courts had declared these dispensation marriages illegal, all such marriages in the future will be regarded as legal only until challenged by a former wife or husband of one of the parties to the new marriage. The Neve Freie Presse characterized the finding as “the most reactionary Jjudgment ever spoken in Austria.” SLAIN GANGSTER IDENTIFIED AS ZUTA D”i:l Associated Press.

'QUEZON TO PRESS CAUSE OF FILIPINOS Senate Head at Manila Coming to Washington, He Says, to Exert “Supreme Effort.” By the Associated Press. MANILA, August 2.—Manuel Quezon, President of the Philippine Senate, sailed for the United States today on what he termed his supreme effort in| behalf of the Filipino people. Quezon said he was going In quest of a definite determination of the poli- tical status of the Philippines, and also a declaration by the United States that it was going to leave the islands within a set period of years or was going to stay indefinitely. The Senate President belleved such a declaration would relieve business of the present uncertainty, permitting it to learn what the future holds, and to shape its program accordingly. Quezon's undertaking was regarded by many as perhaps his final gesture in the field of statecraft which has held him for so long. More than a year ago he submitted to treatment in a California sanitarium, but the islands soon called him. He has not been presiding over the Senate, however. Senator Sergio Osmena has been acting in Quezon's place. FOUR FIREMEN DIE IN RACE TO BLAZE By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. Russian pulpwood valued at $4,500,- 000 will be permitted to enter the United States under a reversal of the Treasury decision which had placed an embargo on such shipments on the ground convict labor had entered into its production. After hearing evidence brought by the Russtan and American interests in- volved, Assistant Secretary Lowman or- dered customs collectors to admit the pulpwood. He announced the data on which the exclugion had been ordered was “conflicting and inconclusive.” Six shiploads of the pulp were in American posts, ready to unload today. A score more are on the seas or ready to leave the Russian port of Archangel. The remainder has been contracted for and ships are under charter. Consignees Join Protest. The pulp was sold by the Amtorg Trading Corporation, Russian official | commerce agency, to the International Paper Co.. the West Virginia Pulp & Paper Co. and the Racquett River Paper Co. All these concerns joined with the | owners and charterers of the ships in- volved, in protesting the embargo. At a final hearing yesterday the pro- testants entered denials that convict labor had been used in producing the pulp and argued the American paper mills would be forced to close down, with consequent seridus unemployment, if the supplies contracted for were barred. Policy Not Affected. The permission to bring in the Rus- sian pulpwocd, Lowman made clear, will in no way alter the Treasury's deter- mination to enforce the tariff law pro- visions barring foreign convict-made products. Protests have been filed with the department against admission of virtually every Russian product now imported to the United States.

Continued drought in the farm lands | and temperatures ranging from 80 to! 90 degrees were forecast for today and the first part of next week by the Weather Bureau.

After & steady rise | pected to reach a 91-degree peak this | fternoon. Yesterday's maximum level was 85 degrees. Fair and Slightly Warmer. The official forecast for tonight and tomorrow is fair and slightly warmer, with temperature ranging from 80 to | 90 degrees. A continuance of moder- ate weather is expected throughout next week. The slight rain of the past two days, the Weather Bureau reports, were coastal showers, falling along a narrow strip of the h - Atlantic Coast. Drought-stricken nd_territories, in- cluding the nearby Viginia and Mary- land farm belt, were unrelieved. No immediate break in the arid weather of the past weeks is in sight. The weather outlook for the North and Middle Atlantic States, the Ohio Valley and Tennessee is uniformly dis- | couraging, with but neglible relief fore- | cast in the nature of scaitered thunder- showers. ‘The suburban water supply situation, which had become critical during the past week, is measurably improved to- day, according to the Washington Sani- tary Commission. Three Connections Opened. Three emergency connections with the District water system, pumping a million gallons of water into suburban mains,” have been opened, Harry R. Hall, deputy chief engincer, said toda; The maximum amount of the emer. gency water has now been diverted into Chevy Chase and Mount Rainier con- nections. The.sudden conc:ntration of water into these two mains has consid- erably reduced the demand on' the Burnt Mills Reservoir from the north- west branch, consumption at that reservoir decreasing about 50,000 gal- lons in 24 hours. The newest connection at Silver Spring was operated for the first time | yesterday, pumping but 150,000 gallons, a subnormal consumption. Sznitary Commission officials, however, after pressure adjustment have been made in the mains, are certain that the Silver Spring flow can be imcreased to 500,000 gallons. |SUNDAY COURT TO HEAR | LIQUOR ARRAIGNMENTS New York ;7—5 Commissioners to Sit Weekly Forenoons to Pass on Bail Questions. | | | By the Associated Press.

Shortly before 10 o'clock this morn- ing the Detective Bureau issued an extraordinary order to captains of all precincts giving the description and other particulars about the third man and calling for the strictest watch at all strategic points about the city. The order was issued when police received information that the third man was seeking to secure an auto- mobile and flee from the city.
