—2 " wN REPAIRING R-100 STARTS IN CANADA Dirigible Will Not Come to U. S. Hangar, Officers Now Believe. By the Associated Press. ST. HUBERT AIRPORT. Quebec, August 2.—The work of repairing the damaged fin of the British dirigible R-100, from which the fabric was torn loose in her voyage from Cardington, England, to St. Hubert, was well under way today. As the repairs proceeded it seemed certain that they would be completed here without recourse to United States naval airship facilities at Lakehurst, N.J. 32 A new panel had been measured and was ready for lacing into place. After it is placed the really dangerous part of the work will begin, that of “dop- ing” the new fabric. Will Improvise Stage. Unable to reach the fin by ladders, as would be possible in a hangar, two men will be swung from the top of the dirigible in Bo's'ns chairs, one on either side. The two ochairs will be pulled together, and from this impro- vised stage, 200 feet above the ground, the two men will glue in and paint the patch. Pb?‘l time it was believed the big ship might have to be taken to the United States naval hangar at Lake- hurst, where expert technicians and machinery and material would make the operation a comparatively simple ene. Officers of the R-100 decided they could repair the damage at the mast here. Time Is Factor. Anat.helfr‘zumt against taking the air- ship to rehurst is that the time re- quired to make the 500-mile flight there and return would disrupt the program of flights over Canadian cities which ha These flights in- , Quebec and Tor- trip to Windsor, Ontario, across the border from Detroit, A strip 15 by 8 feet was ripped off the port fin on the afternoon of the third day of the flight as the R-100 flew up the St. Lawrence Valley. A erew oy 16 riggers worked two hours in great peril to effect temporary repairs. A few hours later the airship encoun- tered violent air currents during a thunderstorm which caused her to sh- t up nose foremost 2,500 feet in less than & minute. A substitute crew which had been sent from England in advance was in charge of refueling operations today while the men who brought the airship across the Atlantic were on shore leave.

Carl Davis is being held in the first ct and Beck is in a eell at the precinet. Beck. Davis and their eompanion, the police said today, have admitted they trailed young Hyatt for several hours yesterday. The original plan, according to the police, was to hold up the youth as he was returning from the Treasury Department yesterday morning with $30.000, but, the police declared, they were frustrated in this plan when they became caught in a traffic jam just as they were about to stop Hyatt. Captured After Struggle. Carl Davis was arrested last night only after a flerce struggle in which Detective Se) Howard E. Ogle and Patrolman E. Lewis of the thirteenth precinct finally subdued their prisoner. Ogle last night went to Davis’ room to search it while other headquarters detectives formed a cordon about the house to arrest Davis if he should ar- rive. Davis, in some way, eluded the police guard about the house and en- tered his room to find Detective Ogle ransacking it. He dove for the police- man and the ‘ulr fought about the room for several minutes. Patrolman Lewis, hearing the sounds of the scuffie, ran to the detective’s aid and between the pair of them they sub- dued Davis. Memory Proves Value. Detective Murphy's memory for num- bers brought about the arrest of Davis. About & week ago Murphy, with Llewis, his partner at the thirteenth preeinct, sought to arrest Davis and the third man sought in the hold-up for questioning in connection with some housebreaking cases in the thirteenth precinct.

STATE DEPARTMENT POST! VACANT SINCE DECEMBER| President Delays Choice of Assist-| ant Secretary to SBucceed Nelson T. Johnson, Transferred. | Apparently the President is having some trouble in the selection of an As- sistant Secretary of State to fill the va- cancy which has existed since last De- | 'mber, when Nelson T. Johnson re-| signed that office to accept the appoint- | ment of United States Minister to China. At the State Department it is said that no action may be taken until after Secretary Stimson returns from his vacation in the Adirondacks in Sep- tember. In another official quarter the impression prevails that the office is being held open for a certain promi- nent gentleman of high diplomatic at- tainments, who will not be available for the office for several months. As the vacancy existed during the session of Congress, any person ap- pointed to the office during the recess would not be entitled to any compen- sation for his service unless and until his appointment was confirmed at a subsequent session.

By the Associated Pres: GLAMIS, . Bcotland, August 2.—The reill boy who became his Majesty's sec- retary of state for home affairs, J. R. Clynes, will soon come here to be present | at the birth of the baby expected by the Duchess of York early this month. ‘This is in accordance with the ancient British law which decrees that the birth of a possible heir to the throne must be attested by a secretary of state. Mr. Clynes will carry out this state duty in the same manner in which the birth of the Prince of Wales was attested by the late Lord Asquith. Sits Behind Screen. Asquith sat behind a screen in Queen Mary’s room. At that time she was the Duchess of York. The Princess of Wales, who later became Queen Alex- andra, was with Asquith. When the present dashing young Crown Prince was born, the Princess of Wales, wear- ing a blue dressing gown, carried the infant in her arms and showed him to Asquith. The home secretary then went back and reported the historical fact to his government and the royal birth was duly registered. A special room in Glamis Castle has been reserved for Mr. Clynes and he will be the guest of the Duke and Duchess of York. Should the expected infant be a boy Secretary, Who Rose| he will be third in line, after the Prince | jof Wales and Duke of York, for the crown, displacing his sister, Princess Elizabeth.

Mrs. Walter Johnson will be laid to rest on a secluded eminence in the Rockville Union Cemetery following fu- neral services at the Johnson home in Bethesda at 11 o'clock Monday morn- ing. Mrs. Johnson, wife of the famous speed-ball pitcher and now manager of the Washington base ball club, died at Georgetown Hospital yesterday follow- ing a brief illness. The spot chosen for her burial over- looks a large tract of woodland and is hidden from the road, giving it the privacy with which the manager of th: Washington ball team sought to surround his private life ‘Tne funeral services will be con- ducted by Rev. Joseph E. Williams of the Bethesda Episcopal Church, where the Johnsons attended. All members of the base ball team are to be honorary pallbearers. The plan is to have each of them carry a floral offering from the house to waiting automobiles and then line up on either side of the walk leading to the front porch as the casket is carried to the hearse. The active pallbearers have not been selected. Offerings of flowers have already commenced to arrive at the Johnson home and hundreds of telegrams have been received from all parts of the country. These include messages of sympathy from Judge Kenesaw Moun- tain Landis, Commissioner of base ball, and President E. 8, Barnard of the American League. The cemetery in which Mrs. Johnson is to be interred dates back to before the birth of this Republic. Its charter was obtained from the English crown.

Brown, s i Demand Made Montgomery Heads Get Back Funds Paid Publishing Company. BY WILLIAM §. TARVER, Staft Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md, August 2.—De- mand on the commissioners of Mont- gomery County was made today by Walter W. Mobley, taxpayer of Der- wood, Md., for the return of all moneys paid the Maryland Publishing Co. since 1927 on contracts for public printing and advertising, alleged to be void by reason of the commissioners’ financial | interests in the publishing company. ‘The demand was in the form of a letter addressed to the board of com- missioners and is expected to reach its destination today. $25,000 Involved. If the monies paid the Maryland Publishing Co., claimed to amount to approximately $25,000, are not returned to the county by the commissioners or a satisfactory reply received on or before August 6, the letter states, Mr. Mobley will institute an action for an accounting against the commise sioners as individuals. This action followed the statement by Judge Robert B. Peter in Circuit Court Wednesday that he would deny a petition for an injunction against the (K)l.fl’l'%’1 commissioners, county treasurer and the Maryland Publishing Co., pro- hibiting them from advertising in the Maryland News, publication of the Maryland Publishing Co. State's Attorney Confers, The lettes to the commissioners de- manding the return of the money ordered disbursed by them to the Mary- land Publishing Co. was dispatched after conferences by Attorneys Vivian Simpson and Harold C. Smith, repre- senting Mr. Mobley, with Robert B. Peter, jr, State’s attorney, and Capt. Joseph O. Cissel, counsel to the county commissioners. Both these officials were asked {o seek an accounting by the county com~ missioners, but replied that they did not consider themselves competent to act. Mr. Peter said he was empowered to represent only the State, while Capt. Cissel explained that he represents the commissioners in individual transac- tions only and is not a sworn officer of the county. Individual Responsibility Claimed. ‘The theory on which recovery of the | money is sought, as outlined in the let- ter, is that the contracts with the Maryland Publishing Co. were void and that the commissioners are responsible individually, since the money they or- dered disbursed was held in trust by them for the people of the county. The contracts were void, it is alleged, because two of the commissioners were stockholders in the Maryland Publish- ing Co. from its organization in 1927 until July 16. last. They are said to be Dr. Benjamin C. Perry, president of &he zm"d' and Lacy Shaw, vice presi- ent. According to the attorneys for Mr. Mobley, Clagett C. Hilton and Robert L. Hickerson, members of the board of commissioners, acquired stock in the publishing company shortly after its organization, and held it until July 186, when all four commissioners returned their stock certificates to the company. This return of the stock followed a pe- tition by Mr. Mobley for an injunction prohibiting the commissioners from letting any further contracts for county advertising or printing to the Maryland Publishing Co. Attorneys for Mr. Mobley base their estimate of the amount paid the Mary- land Publishing Co. on reports of the county treasurer for 1927 and 1928, showing a total of $10.870.30. The treasurer's reports for 1929 and 1930 have not been completed. 1 Dreams” . who took off $om Roosevelt Field early Waltz suite— Their piane, City of New York, is shown above and below —A. 'WOODCOCK TO HAVE FACT-FINDING BODY New Dry Chief to Seek Orig- inal Sources on Success or Failure of Prohibition. By the Associsted Press. Learning the actual facts of prohibi- tion holds an important place in the program of the reorganized Enforce- ment Bureau as drawn up by its chief, Amos W. W. Woodcock. He has his own agency. created for the purpose of digging down to original sources of information, and has, he says, no intention of accepting the propaganda-tinged statistics of organi- Tl!lons sponsoring or opposing the dry aws. Within the bureau is a research di- vision, the primary function of which is to obtain trustworthy data on the per capita consumption of intoxicating liquor throughout the Nation. He plans to develop this agency to the highest possible point of efficiency. ‘Will Publish Reports. From it will come regular reports on liquor consumption, and this, Woodcock says, will show the success or failure of his campaign against illicit alcohol. He plans to make the reports public, whether favorable or unfavorable, at regular intervals. In some respects, the work of the research division will parallel that of the Wickersham Law Enforcement Commis- slon and an arrangement is being per- fected whereby the two will work in close co-operation. Speaking of statistics already avail- able, Woodcock said while they are ex- tensive, they are for the most part th output of interested organizations. He was emphatic in asserting the bureau will not make use of any data received in this way. ‘To Seek Original Sources. If the Prohibition Bureau is to com- mand respect, he said, it should be in- dependent and get its facts from orig- inal sources. These sources, as already outlined by the director of prohibition, are indices of arrests for drunkenness, deaths from cirrhosis of the liver, con- sumption of corn sugar, hops and other commodities which go into the manu- facture of liquor. ‘The research division will gather the statistics on these ints and from them arrive at an estimate of the con- sumption of intoxicants, which will be compared with the pre-prohibition and later levels. ‘The division is experiencing some difficulty in obtaining an accurate guage of arrests for drunkenness, be- cause of the differing standards pre- vailing in the various cities. An effort is being made to overcome this handi- cap by having police officals inform the bureau of their policies in this respect. BOSSY GILLIS SEEKS U. S. SENATE SEAT “Bad Boy” Mayor of Newburyport, Mass,, Wants G. 0. P. Nomination. By the Assoclated Press, FITCHBURG, Mdss, August 2.— Mayor Andrew ‘J. “Bossy” Gillis of Newburyport today was a candidate for the Republican nomination for United States Senator. He assembled friends in a Ilunch room last night and announced his candfdacy. “I am going to be the next United States Senator and you can put that in your hat” he said. Continuing, he declared he would seek 250 names on nomination papers in surrounding counties. Gillis, commonly referred to as the “bad boy” mayor of Newburyport, has had a career that reads like fiction After an uphill struggle in various bysi ness ventures, he entered politics to ‘op- pose a former mayor who sought re- election and who had been a bitter competitor of “Bossy” in several busi- ness ventures. Campaigning with a method new to | the staid old New England city, Gillis | startled even his friends by winning the election. Frank talks with no shortage of descriptive words and “hot blasts” against the “highbrows on the hill” featured his campaign. He was re-elected for a second term by a slender margin, During Gillis’ first term as mayor he had the distinction of directing the city’s affairs from within the Essex County Jail. He served a short sen- tence for having erected and conducted a gasoline filling station in violation of existing laws. It was the same station that caused differences that ultimately resulted in his entry into politics. |CANADIAN VOTE CALLED “BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE” Italian Paper Attributes Liberal Defeat to Economic Difficulties | and Weak Rule. | By the Associated Press.
