Grow of the United States Naval Reserve, held by the Peruvian authorities since the over- throw of the Leguia government, was said by the newspaper La Prensa to- day to have been released. ‘The American officer, who resigned from the Navy and under Leguia be- came chief of Peru's air forces, had been detained at Arequipa, stronghold of the southern revolutionaries led by Lieut. Col. Luis Sanchez Cerro. He was accused of having plotted to bomb the ctiy of Arequipa and of hav- ing been a “mercenary.” He is the last of three Americans held by the suc- cessful revolutionaries to be released. He had asked that Peru decide his fate a:\)d discouraged American interven- n. ‘The two other Americans released are Charles W.

Uriburu disclaimed any aspira- tion to a political career. “I am a mil- itary man and & patriot,”. he said. “I have never been a politician and I do not intend to start now. After three days in this office I am wondering what there is to public office that makes ‘politicians strive to gain it.” He declared his government has a single aim, to reform the country's political structure, taking power from the hands of the elements which have dominated the nation. The ablest lead- ers from the best elements of -the na- tion will be sought for the provisional government. “We are birds of passage,” he sald of his regime, adding that he hoped it ‘would represent an able co-ordination of the military and the best civil ele- ments in the country to destroy political system which has enabled political des to perpetuate themselves and their parties in power. He declared t under the system which the government intended to brin into 0 no will be so firmly entrenched in of as to be able to dominate all other groups. “When we have brought into being such a state,” he said, “the military will retire.’ He expressed sorrow that the revolu- tion had been attended with fighting. “I had hoped,” he said, “that we could occupy Government House Saturday without firing a shot. All our efforts were toward peaceful conquest with the 'm{mx-:d clivilians joining in an overwhel g show of strength.” (Copyrighted, 1930. by the Associated Press and’ All Rights Reserved.)

Acted as If Intoxicated. Miss Jennings also inclosed two checks to Jocal firms in payment of bills she owed them., While this was going on Carson was heard to keep repeat- ing, “For the last time I'm asking you to give this fellow up.” Carson, his father' said, had been moody since Miss Jennings started going out several days ago with the other man, and early last night went out alone, presumably for a drink. ‘When he returned, the elder Carson sald, he smelled strongly of whisky and acted as if he was intoxicated. While Carson entreated the girl to give up the other man, policemén and detectives crowded into the back y: where they could look intd*the window Several other officers clambered onto the roof of an adjoining back porch and about 10 of them took up positions in the street, with drawn guns. Carson’s parents, fearful that the police would shoot, kept going from one group to the other, insisting that their son was only intoxicated and that he would not harm the girl. Inspector Shelby and Sergt. J. T. Langley of No. 2 precinct conceived a plan of spanning a narrow areaway to send an officer into the Carson home by a second-floor window in the rear. Crawls on Ironing Board. Some one brought out an ironing board and Officer Baker volunteered to cross it. While his companions held the improvised bridge in place, Baker inched across the areaway and let himself over the sill. Once inside, he quickly sub- dued Carson, who was taken by surprise. Miss Jennings, the officer said, cried out that Carson was not to blame and admonished him not to slug her captor. Inspector Shelby, in a statement to- day, sald Baker's act in climbing into the window was “one of the bravest I ever saw in all my experience as a fill‘x” officer. Neither Baker nor Sergt. gley,” the statement said, “hesitated an instant when the plan was suggest- ed. Langley held the board while Baker gfi:‘led acrof. Either might have been “I am proud to say, however, that the arrest was effected without blood- shed. Baker was enabled to surprise Carson and take his gun before he could offer resistance.” Carson’s parents said he had been in 111 health since he came home from New York last May. For five years past he had been employed there as an au- tomobile salesman and recently found work here in the same capacity. Soon dBecame “Pals.” Last Pebruary Miss Jennings came to room with the Carsons. “When she came,” the elder Carson said, “‘she and Howard seemed to like each other from the start. They were “pals” in a few weeks and neither seemed to want to g0 out without the other. “Howard used to drive her to work and return for her, while she was at Sibley Hospital. But the other day she began to come home with anothef you: man. I saw it worried 'Howard, but told him Miss Jennings had a right to g0 with other men if she pleased and that it was none of his affair. “When she left for work the other € | day she told Howard not to come for her, and she drove up with the other boy that nighs. 'm sure Howard was drinking last night. I smelled it on him when he came home after supper and he acted strangely. He went to the door to let in Mr. Jackson and he told him that Jennings would be right down. “But I heard him go upstairs, and in- stead of telling Miss Jennings her caller had arrived, he insisted to her that she portion of the Nllln.lnl Capital :.beu, explain something. I heard Miss Jen- say she didn’t have to explain anything to him. Officer Gets Merit Rating “After that—well, you know what happened. Howard is a good boy and steady about his work when he has a job. 'He never was in trouble before. I don’t know what got into him. “I'm_sure he thought a lot of Miss Jennin?—they were almost the same age, only a few ‘days difference between their birthdays, and they seemed to be the, best pals in the world. I never knew they were quarreling until a few days “Only this morning, when Miss Jen- nings came to get her things—she's 'om'%m live with her sister, I believe— she told me she thought a lot of Harold and hoped he wouldn’t get into trouble over what happened last night.” Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superintendent of police, said today that the $5 which is awarded monthly to members of the force for service of particular merit would go to Officer Baker as soon as the official report of the arrest came to headquarters. .

BEFORE WEEK ENDS Showers Following Hurricane Felt Over Large Section Hurt by Drought. —— Rain in Washington before the end of the week as a consequence of the tropical hurricane which devastated Santo ingo several days ago was foreseen today by the Weather Bureau. “Showers following in the wake of the hurricane have already been felt over a large portion of the drought- affected area,” the Weather Bureau an- nounced. “The rain is moving slowly up the coast, and should reach Wash- ington within the next two or three dl{l." [t was explained that a mass of moist warm air in the rear of the hurricane has now reached this country, and, combin! with a cool disturhance mov- ing east from the Rockies, is producing rain, No decided temperature changes were foreseen. The Agricultural Department said to- day beneficial rains fell in many drought States the first week of Sep- tember. Missourl Weather Favorable, Good rains were general over practi- cally all of Kansas and most parts of Nebraska and South Dakota, while Mis- souri had the most favorable weather in many weeks. There were substantial to heavy rains over the Trelll“ portion of Missouri, although it c.ntinued dry in some southeastern sections. Good rains also occurred 11 much of Southern Illinois. Local showers were rather general over Indiana, which benefited pasture crops and late truck, but Ohio has been only partly relieved. West Central ‘Wisconsin and Southern Minnesota had very beneficlal rains. In the severely droughty sections much of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Mich- igan and most of Towa were still largely unrelieved at the close of the week and rainfall was badly needed. About one- third of Texas had effective showers and rain was fairly general in Okla- homa, but more is generally needed in these States. North Dakota Needs Rain. North Dakota also needs more rain, though scattered amounts were helpful, while the last part of the week brought showers to much of Montana. Recent showers materially improved soil for Winter wheat .preparation in parts of the Ohio Valley, but some por- tions of this area are still too dry, espe- cially Ohio and Kentucky. The sofl is now mostly in good condition, except in Iowa and some Northwestern lo- calities. Conditions are especially favorable in the plains area from Kansas to South Dakota, and considerable wheat has been seeded. Some late corn has further benefited by showers in the northern districts of the Ohio Valley and in the plains States from Northern Kansas to South Da- kota and is maturing too fast in some places in the Upper Mississippl Valley. GRANDI GOES HOME ON EVE OF BRIAND’S SPEECH AT GENEVA (Continued From First Page.) Minister Grandi of Italy today were apparently unknown to the Italian for- eign_office. Officials at the foreign office nat only professed to know nothing of Signor Grandl's intentions, but told the As- sociated Press they did not even know he had left. It was pointed out that the foreign minister hitherto has only stayed in Geneva for the League Council session, leaving Signor Scialoja as head of the Italian dele%ntlnn during the subse- quent Assembly. PARIS PRESS SURPRISED. PARIS, September 10 (#).—The sud- den departure of Forelgn Minister Dino Grandi of Italy from the eleventh As- sembly session of the League of Nations today caused great surprise among Paris newspapers. ‘The fact that he left Genevp just as the discussion of Forelgn ~Minister Briand’s European Federal Union plan was looming up mystified political com- mentators. It was said that probably internal affairs In Italy obliged Signor Grandi to depart so precipitately. 58 D. C. PROPERTIES, WORTH $1,309,000, MAY BE PADLOCKED (Continued From First Page.) pieces of property having an assesses valuation of more than $150,000 each. In the cases pending there is more property which might be described as of the better type than properties located in the run-down sections of town.” The padlock provision of the prohibi- tlon laws has been described as one of the most effective weapons employed in the enforcement of liquor laws. It has been urged by drys for more extensive use as & means of limiting activities of bootleggers and has drawn criticism from other sources that it places an unfair burden of responsi- bility on property owners. ‘The Washington Real Estate Board, recognizing the losses which may ac- crue to property owners from the activi- ties of their tenants, pledged its co- operation to United States Attorney Rover in the matter. An arrangement was reached whereby local realtors would be urged to institute ouster pro- ceedings against tenants when the prosecutor's office had sufficient evi- dence to justify such action without placing the owner of the property in Jeopardy of a suit by the tenant. The plan included notice to property own- ers of contemplated padiock action by the district attorney. Hit by National Association. The National Association of Real Estate Boards has taken the stand that the padlock process places an undue burden of responsibility on the land- Jord to make sure that a tenant did not commit a violation of the prohibi- tion laws. The padlock procedure was called unconstitutional in an official statement from the national association because it effected a loss to the owner of property whether or not he had any knowledge of a liquor law violation on his leased property, or was party to such activity. A padlock proceeding is an action in rem, or against the thing itself, rather than against a person, and, therefore, where it is shown that violations of the prohibition law have been committed on certain property, the premises may be padlocked or definitely closed for a period, regardless of whether the owner of the property be guilty or innocent in the matter.

By the Assoclated Press. DOVER, England, September 10~ Peggy Duncan, 200-pound South Afri- can girl swimmer, succeeded this after- noon in her effort to swim the En, Channel. She landed at South Foreland from Cape Griz Nez, France, at 12:35 p.m. Miss Duncan, who is 19 years old, had hoped to beat the 14-hour-35- minute record of Gertrude Eaeile, es= tablished four years ago. Entering the water at about 8:20 p.m. her initial speed was about 214 miles an hour. The total time for her swim was 16 hours and 15 minutes. Miss Peggy's chances of beating Ger- trude Ederle’s record were taken from her at the western entrance of Dover Harbor about 10:30 a.m., when she bat- tled against an adverse tide for near- ly an hour and made practically no progréess. Proud of Scottish Descent. The young Channel victor was born in Johannesburg. Her father is & na= tive of Glasgow, and she is proud of her Scottish descent. She is the third woman to try to swim the Channel this year and the first to succeed. ¢ In 1926, when Miss Duncan was just 15 years old, she set a new mark in swimming from Robbens Land to Cape Town, a distance of about 7 miles, in 9%2 hours. The water was ‘sald to be colder than that of the English Chan- nel and to be infested with sharks. She was the only one of six women and | six.men who started the race to finish. She started training for her Channel | swim at Boulogne, France, early in Au- | gust of this year. Favorable conditions prevailed for Miss Peggy's swim. The sea was calm and the air almost windless when the tugboat Jenner, escorting her, was sighted early this morning. There was every prospect that she would break Miss Ederle’s record. But as the tide slowly carried her along the coast, the crowd watching her struggle to keep going, became nervous and excited. “I am all right at present,” she shouted to the occupants of a speed boat passing close by, She was swim- ming with a trudgeon stroke, but the tide was strong. Crown Cheers at End. Cheer after cheer was raised as she stepped ashore at South Foreland. She went immediately to a hotel at Dover. She was found there soon after, smoking & cigarette and looking as fresh as if she had just come in from a stroll. She admitted, however, that she did not feel like swimming back to France “just at the moment,” but added that she would be all right as soon as she “had had a bath.” ° “The swim was quite uneventful, ex- cept that I was stung on the face by & jellyfish. That soon passed, however, and did not trouble me. “During the swim I had cocoa, coffee and beef tea. Throughout I used the trudgeon stroke. The temperature of the water gave me some muscle trouble and that was the only thing preventing me from breaking Miss Ederle’s record.” She recalled smilingly that during her seven-mile swim in 1926, from Rob- bens Island to Capetown, she bad twice been saved from sharks by timely har- pooning and rifle shots from her escort. One shark, when hauled out, meas- ured more than 6 feet. d |suRROW LEADING AT BANNOCKBURN Card of 74 Is Expected to Put Public Links Player Up With Leaders. B. H.
