The Rapidan Camp tomorrow once again will be the scene of a birthday party for President Hoover. Mr. Hoover tomorrow will reach his fifty-sixth year, and in honor of the occasion Mrs. Hoover and some of the old friends who are members of the week end party at the lodge have ar- ranged for a happy celebration of the great event. There will be nothing elaborate or suggestive of a festive occasion. The event will be observed in the ume‘ simple fashion which marked the birth- day anniversary at the camp last year.| Of course, there will be a birthday cake and candles. But there will be other interesting and novel features. As a matter of fact, there has been planned | all sorts of fun. | Also the celebration will be void of' HOOVER TO OBSERVE BIRTHDAY AMP CEREMONY red on Leaving Capi- tal on Eve of Fifty-sixth Anniversary, j but Boone Praises Health. any expensive birthday gifts from Mrs. Hoover or any one else.

But there will be no end of small, inexpensive presents and other knicknacks, selected because of their suggestiveness of something ap- propriate in connection with the char- acter and activities of not only the President himself but others in the party. The President, with members of the party, left the White House about 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, arriving at the lodge just as night was falling. Mrs. Hoover, with several friends who had gone to the lodge last Wednesday, were on hand to greet the late arrivals and to escort them to the evening meal. ‘The party included Secretary of War Hurley, George Horace Lorimer, editor of the Saturday Evening Post, and Mrs. Lorimer; Ogden Reid, editor of the New York Heraid-Tribune, and Mrs. Reid; Jeremiah Milbank and Mrs, Milbank of New York, Miss Gertrude B.

POLICEMEN FIND TWO BITS OF THEFT EVIDENCE Alibi Is Defense of All Three Pris- oners Now Being Held for Investigation. A valuable lead, which detectives hope may bring about an early solu- tion of the McCrory Five and Ten Cent Store hold-up, was uncovered today with the finding of the money satchel taken from Earl D. Flory and Harvey W. Smith and a hat warn by one of the three gunmen who accosted the messengers as they walked from the store at Seventh and E streets late Thursday atternoon. ‘The hat, bearing the label of a Balti- more manufacturer, and the money satchel were found lying on Talbert street southeast this morning by a po- liceman of the eleventh precinct, a short distance from the spot where the auto- mobile used in the robbery was found yesterday. Still Held Cash Box. Efforts are now being made to de- termine whether the hat is owned by one of the three suspects being held in connection with the hold-up. The money satchel, its lock smashed, still contained the cash box in which the two runners were taking $1,200 to the bank for deposit. Seventy cents and several postage stamps were in the coin box when it was picked up by the policeman. Atong with efforts to establish the ownership of the hat, detectives were planning an attack on the alibi offered by John Irvin, 24 years old, who is said by police to be the owner of the automobile used in the hold-up; Elmer Bennett, 28, and James Callan, 23, who Wwere arrestegd in nearby Maryland and Virginia yeMerday and brought here mrF Iquesuonxm;. lory and Smith said they had never seen the three men befm‘e‘) but one of the crowd of passers-by who witnessed Lhe“dl.rlng robbery “partially identi- fied” one of the men last night at po- lice headquarters, according to de- ILLWNOIS T, ONEY !

By the Assoclated Press. POTTSVILLE, Pa, August 9.— Caught in a fall of timbers and debris in the Gilperton Colliery of the Phila- ! delphia &' Reading Coal & Iron Co. last night, seven miners were killed and 16 others injured. Three of those who escaped with (heir lives were injured so severely they may not recover, hospital physicians said today. Twenty-three men were working in the third level, about 1,900 feet below the surface, when the acci- dent occurred, due, investigators be- lieved, to a sudden collapse of timber- ing. The dead and severely injured were buried under tons of silt, coal and dirt, With the passing of sentence the | cases of housebreaking in the Dis-| , as well as several in, Maryland | and nearby Virginia, was held under | $20,000 bond. Carl Davis and Morris Beck, the former having another charge of :gbbery un.\:g: m;um,h1 were also locki up, not able to post $10,000 bail. X Hyatt Recounts Experience. Hyatt told the court bow, while de- livering the money from his bank to an | insurance company, he was accosted by Embrey on M street near Fifteenth. “One move and you're gone,” Hyatt quoted Embrey as saying, sticking some- thing in the boy’s back, which Embrey afterward declared was his finger. Hyatt was forced into a small road- ster and, with Davis driving and Beck in the rumble seat, was driven out Six- teenth street to Walter Reed Hospital, down Sherrill drive into Rock Creek Park, where Hyatt was thrown out and told to “kepp going.” On the way to the park, Hyatt declared that he talked with the youthful trio concerning the | way the stick-up had been accom- | plished. > “We spotted you at the bank, of | «course,” Embrey told him. “I sat be- | side you in a drug store and drank an orangeade right after you left.” Davis, the first arrested, was taken into custody that night in the 300 block of Fourteenth street northeast | by Detective Howard Ogle. The po- | liceman said he had a “hard fight with | the boy.” Davis proved the key man. and, according to police, yeilded the identity of his two companions. Beck was arrested the following day, while Detective Dennis Murphy apprghended Egnbrey last Wednesdav near tHe place where Davis was found. Upon his arrest, Beck declared that Embrey had asked him to go on pre- vious jobs, police testified, but added that he had never had the nerve to do t. Embrey, according to evidence sub- mitted today, boasted to police about the number of robberies and houses he had broken into. He estimated the number at 40 in the District and sev- | eral in Maryland. . He further testified that his ambi- tion had been to get enough money to go to Chicago and form a gang there, and ultimately to return to Washington and engage in hold-ups. Embrey Counted Out Loot. Embrey informed the court that after releasing Hyatt in Rock Creek Park they returned to an apartment in the 1600 block of Euclid street and divided the money. Beck watched while Embrey counted the loot. He said Beck was afraid ‘to take his share at this time because his sister might no- tice it when he returned to his home in the 2500 block of Fourteenth street. Other police who figured in the ar- rest besides Ogle and Murphy were De- tective Sergts. H. E. Brodle and T. C. B o Embrey was represented in court by Attorney James Rellly, while Attorneys Milton Barrett and Robert H. Wynn appeared for Beck and Davis.

Carriers Authorized To Reduce Rates in Drought Districts In response to a request made by President Hoover, the Inter- state Commerce Commission to- day issued an order giving au- thority to the railroads throughout the country to put into effect special rate schedules in the drought-stricken areas. The commission asserted an emergency had been created by the long dry spell and that all interstate carriers were authorized to lower tariffs “on live stock, feed and water and upon such other articles of traffic as may be found necessary to and from stricken areas,” without observing the usual requirements as to publication and notice in rate changes.

August 9.—The promise that prchibition agents who halt motorists without adequate reason to believe that the law is being violated will be held to strict accountability is made in a letter made public today from Amos W. W. Woodcock, prohibi- tion director, to the Automobile Club of Maryland. He said he hoped to make the dry agents “the best-trained group of officers in the world.” Mr. Wodcock’s stand was given in reply to a communication growing out of the incident near here July 17 when two officers were said to have fired two shots at a car containing E. G. Duncan, State roads engineer, and his wife. “I do not propose that Ervhlbmon agents shall stop automobilists except as the law gives them the right so to do,” said the letter. “That is upon probable cause that the motorist is violating the law. I shall hold all pro- hibition officers to strict accountability for the carrying out of this principle. “Motorists, however, must recognize the authority of prohibition agents to stop and search their cars where there is proper cause to believe that the law is being violated. * * *. “I-hope that the efforts of prohibi- tion agents, under my regime, will make travel safer and more comfortable for the public. I intend that this force shall be the best-trained group of offi- cers in the world, and that they will keep on a parity with their duty to de- tect the guilty and their obligation to protect the innocent.” GROOM R-100 FOR TRIP OVER CANADIAN CAPITAL By the Associated Press. ST. HUBERT AIRPORT, August 9.—The British dirigible R-100 was groomed today for her flight over the Canadian capital and the St. Law- rence River Valley. Repaired, refueled and regassed, the biggest airship afloat will take off from this airport tomorrow afternoon, cruis- ing to Ottawa, where she will arrive late in the evening. After journeying over the seat of the minion govern- ment, she will head for Toronto and then follow the St. Lawrence up over Hamilton and Niagara Falls and then back to St. Hubert Airport. Although there were reports that the | R-100 probably would take off on her return flight to Cardington, England, as soon as she had returned here and refueled, the official take-off time has been set for August 15, and there has been no definite anouncement of a change in these plans. Montreal, | NO RELIEF S SEEN YET FOR HEAT HERE Prospect for Today Is That Mercury Will Probably Soar to 100 Again.

To those who will remain to swelter in the city from the unprecedented heat en- durance record the only comforting as- surance the Weather Bureau could give ! was the prediction that tomorrow nighi | “would not be quite so hot.” ¥ | Considering local weather conditions as a whole, it was said there would be no change in the hot temperature of the last few days. It was not believed, however, the mercury would exceed yesterday's high mark, which caused Government departments to close at 3 o'clock. But Weather Bureau officials say that at least 101 degrees is in sight for this afternoon. Forecast for Week. ‘With partly cloudy skies tomorrow, the humidity will tend to make people feel as warm even if the mercury doesn’t register quite so high. ‘The weather outlook for next week, beginning Monday, issued today by the Weather Bureau here, predicts for the Middle Atlantic States “showers Tues- day night or Wednesday and again toward the end of the week. Cooler weather will prevail the fifs§ nalf of the week with moderate temperatures thereafter.” Last night's general discomfort was blamed on the humidity. Many per- sons were mistaken for this reason in believing it was the' hottest night Washington has experienced during the present heat wave. ‘With a humidity of only 19 per cent at 3 o'clock when the official thermoms ter was registering 101 yesterday af! noon, the heat was not so disconcert- ing as it might have been. But a o'clock last night, the humidity had risen to 59 per cent, caused by clouds that blanketed in the heat. ‘Temperature Only 87. ‘The mercury stood only at 87 degrees though it felt much warmer. It re- mained at that point for three hours and at midnight, while many persons were seeking refuge in Potomac and Rock Creek Parks, 1t hovered around 84 degrees with a high humidity. By early morning, however, the at- mosphere began to cool. The mini- mum was reached at 4 o'clock, the mark being 77 degrees. This was one degree cooler than yesterday’s mini- mum. With the sun shining brightly, the temperature rose steadily until at 8 o'clock, with a humidity of 62 per cent, the mercury was registering 82 degrees. By 10 o'clock it had touched 90. “For- tunately, however, the humidity had dropped to 49 per cent. At 11 o'clock the reading was 93 degrees, the same as yesterday at that hour and at 2:30 it had gone to 99. SKELETONS EXCAVATED By Cable to The Star.

LONDON, August 9—The Prince of Wales has gone on strike. For the next seven weeks he intends to enjoy a holi- day of his own devising, uninterrupted by sny formal engagements. An indication that the Prince meant to be boss of his own time for a brief interval was seen in his sudden trip to Touquet for a week’s golf after an official visit to the Belgian exhibition at Antwerp.
