BREEZE FAVORS BRITAIN’S BOAT American Sloop| Dispells Doubt as to Superiority. By ALAN GOULD NEWPORT, R. I, September 13 (®.—Enterprise, sliding through the mists like a big white ghost, ran away from Shamrock V to- day in a moderate breeze, and 8ir Thomas Lipton’s quest for the America’s Cup again took on the aspect of a fruitless chase after another will o’ the wisp. The first race of the series, sailed over a 30-mile leeward and windward course in the open sea, | southeast of Newport, was won decisively by the American de- fender, which now needs three| more victories to keep the classic trophy safely at home. Enterprise Leads Always. Enterprise, ably skippered by Harold S. Vanderbilt, led from start to finish, though it was close enough at several stages of the leeward run when the American boat was no more than 50 yards in front. The slim, trim, Yankee- built sloop had a margin of 2 minutes and 7 seconds at the 15- mile mark. On the beat home she increased to a final margin of 2 minutes and 52 seconds. The gap between defender and chal- ‘might have been much wider not ‘Vanderbilt, either by choice or , lost at least & 3‘:; ute's advantage in taking an hto get acrossthe finish line. ”g fis 's el time was 4 hours, terprise minutes and r‘o Sham- l'uk's 4:06:40, for 30- course.

Enterprise, after the first mile, ap- parently was pressed only once. That was an hour after the start when boosted along by & big puff wind, closed much of the early gap and was no more than 40 or 50 yards astern. ‘When the same puff hit Enterprise, the defender slipped away fast. She ‘was well ahead at the turn, added 100 ards to her advantage on the first 'k and was fully a half-mile in front until she lost ground near the finish. As the race was sailed, no particular display of tactical skill or master sea- manship seemed called for under sail- ing conditions that were distinctly ordi- In the leeward run.

For all its magnificence, when the scene was sunlit, there was no excite- ment whatever and not even a great deal of tooting or noise making when Enterprise glided triumphantly past the tug Susan A.

The significant feature, so far as the experts were concerned, was that Sham- rock was beaten under conditions of light air and moderate sea in which she was presumed to excel.

GENEVA, September 13.—The shad- ows of pessimism hung over the work of the eleventh session of the League of Nations assembly during the first period of its labors, ending tonight. ‘The delegates look forward to next week's constructive activity to provide the dawn that proverbially follows the darkest hour. Pessimism manifested it- self in grim speeches by most of the big-time orators, who have taken ad- vantage of the time given to review the League's work for the year to point out the slowness of the world's advance to- ward the solution of disarmament and economic problems. Next week the assembly, after two more days of review, wili get down to hard work on the floor and in com- mittee. Wednesday three non-perma- nent members of the council will be| elected and afterward the regular com- mittees will tackle the problems that have been submitted. Among these, the outstanding is the Briand plan for a European federation. Blames Nationalism. ‘Today was no exception to redictions. Motta, of dark pi Swiss ite, the first r of the day, fe fault with the failure of various efforts sponsored by the League to settle on concerted ‘economic action. He also criticiszed the failure to codify international law and establish uniform regulations for treatment of foreigners. He said the spirit of nationalism could largely be blamed for these failures. ‘Turning to the Briand plan, M. Motta gave cautious adherence to the idea of but made ¢l - European collaboration, but it clear that Switzerland would insist that the work of any European organ- ization must be within the League, and subject to its direction. The non- European nations, he said, were neces- sarily mll!; l;“mm in mlnny of what seem ropean problems. These questions might become world matters of great import, he added. William Graham, t of the G , president British Board of Trade, bluntly explain- ed the danger he believed in the the rule ly lies ‘world’s mounting tariffs. He gave what mnnyr-nrdedu-flnfl-nr‘u‘nllmm the British Labor government that should efforts “for a tariff truce fail, England might be forced to turn to a protectionist policy. Name Hughes' Successor. Speaking of a draft for a convention agreed upon at the economic confer- ence, he pointed out that “if there were & manifest departure from its tice and spirit, this effort would break down, and countries, including free-trade countries, which have given their sig- natures and support, would undoubt- edly regard themselves free to be rid of all further obligation.” Of chief interest in next week's work are the disposition of the Briand plan, the naming of a successor to Charles Evans Hughes for the regular term of the World Court and the election of three non-permanent members of the council. Observers generally believe that Briand's federation idea would be submitted to the sixth, or political, commission of the League, of which the Prench foreign minister is a mem- ber. They believe it will then be turned over to a special committee ugpol.med either by the council or by the sixth commission itself to be studied and reported on at the next assembly. Observers considered it virtually cer- tain that Prank B. Kell will suc- ceed Mr. Hughes in the World Court for the regular term. The election of a judge to fill Mr. Hughes' unexpired term will be held at a later date. China Claims Seat. Guatemala and Norway were con- sidered certain to get two of the non- permanent seats in the Council. The Irish Free State seemed leading in the race for the third seat.

POLICE KEPT BUSY S 33000,000 VOTE AT GERMAN POLLS Scores Arrested, Many In- jured and One Killed in Stirring Campaign. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, September 13—While an estimated 90 per cent of the voting population of Germany were preparing to vote tomorrow in the Reichstag elec- tion, the police of many cities were kept busy tonight coping with disturbers, mainly Communists and Fascist party members. Political parades resulted in the death of one Communist tomight, while three policemen and several demonstrators | were injured in a clash between Com- munists and Fascists. Many persons were arrested. Every policeman available throughout the republic tonight was ordered to re- port for duty. In all of the larger citles police trucks will be stationed at strategic points ready to rush squad- rons of armed men to danger points or to quell incipient rioting. Germany ended tonight the most remarkable campaign period since the founding of the republic, a period during which the nation’s almost 43,000,000 voters were stirred up as seldom before. Foreign Policy Safe. It is safe to say Germany's foreign policy of international conciliation will not be changed by tomorrow’s results. ‘Two issues have been ci more and more as the campaign progresses. ‘The first of these is: Is Germany to be saved from evil economic consequences by the radicalism of the Right (fascism) or Left (communism)? e second is: Can the dominating role of social democracy be checked by the common effort of the bourgeoise parties? Present indications point to the triumph of the democratic ideal, though there exists the widespread hope that C | cratic senatorial nominee in the Buck- i BRITONS BELIEVED SEEKING DEBT CUT Visit of Sir Warren Fisher and Premier’s Secretary May Be to Sound Views. 8ir Warren Fisher, permanent secre- tary of the British treasury, and ‘Thomas Jones, secretary to Prime Min- ister J. Ramsay MacDonald, head of the Labor government in England, have been in Washington for several days, it was learned yesterday, conferring with State Department officials. They were accompanied by Alanson B. Houghton of New York, former Ameri- can Ambassador to Great Britain. Although announcements here stated that the purpose of the visit of the two English officials to the United States was to view historic early American mansions, private cable advices from London disclosed that their principal mission in this country was to sound out sentiment on the question of a re- duction in the war debts. Arranged for MacDonald. Mr. Jones is the Col. House of the MacDonald administration. Some weeks before official announcement was made that Prime Minister MacDonald was coming to the United States Mr. Jones arrived, announcing that he had come to pay some social visits and make a sight-seeing tour of the country. It de- veloped that he made all of the ar- rangements for Mr. MacDonald's visit. It was disclosed that he and Sir Warren Fisher had spent several weeks in New York, as the house guests of Mr. Houghton, before coming to ‘Washington the middle of the week. According to normally reliable quar- ters here, they discussed the subject of debt reductions with the principal New York bankers before sounding out official sentiment on the same sub- Jject here. _There have been rumors for some- time that Great Britain would lead another general European drive for re- duction of the American war debts. A similar drive has been made with each | succeeding American administration since the end of the World War. Pres- ident Coolidge set his face firmly against it twice. In view of the fact that a reduction in the European debts would mean increased taxes for Americans, it is believed similar suggestions will meet the same fate at the hands of President Hoover. The principal conferences in Wash- ington were had with Willlam R. Castle, jr., Assistant Secretary of State. Mr Castle is well acquainted with condi- ‘(‘c‘«nun?ed'on yfge 2, Column 3.

CANDIDATE Bulkley Believes Buckeye State Will Oust G. 0. P. in All Races. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Ohio is going to “spill the beans” for the G. O. P. in the congressional and State elections next November, ac- cording to Robert J. Bulkley, Demo- eye State, who was in Washington yes- terday, discussing campaign plans with Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Execu- tive Committee of the Democratic Na- tional Committee. If Bulkley is right in his estimate of the political sentiment in Ohio this Fall, it means far more to the Demo- cratic party than the carrying of New York, for example, or Massachusetts. Ohio is a Republican stronghold. It is Fln of the great Middle West, a link n the chain of States that stretches from Pennsylvania on the East to Mis- souri on the West. If Ohio falls to the Democratic oppositioon, the Republi- cans will have fallen on evil days. Ohio is a pivotal State. It was Ohio that deserted the Republican column in 1916 and gave its electoral votes to Wood- row Wilson by some 93,000 lead in the popular vote. Leaders Are Confident. ‘The Democratic leaders, both national and the Ohio party leaders, are supremely confident of success next November. One non-partisan agency in Ohio which predicted that President Wilson_would carry Ohio over Charles Evans Hughes, his Republican opponent in 1916, when it was generally believed that the Republicans would win, now is predicting that Ohio will go Democratic this fall by some 200,000 votes. Such a shift in voting from the party division which took place two years ago could only be brought about by a veritable political uprising. ‘The Republicans, Senator Simeon D. Fess, new chairman of the Republican national committee, among them, will deny flatly that any such result is to be expected in Ohio this fall. But certainly the Democrats are more sanguine than they have been for years. Depression Is Issue. In Ohio the issues in the campaign are business depression, unemployment | and _prohibition, with the Democrats (Continued on Page 2, Column 1) CUBAN DIVORCES BOOM New Law Brings Flood of Inquiries to Embassy. By the Associated Press Publication of dispatches from Havana that under a new law the cost of divorce, including attorney's fees and other minor expenses was estimated at about $300, has brought a drive upon the Cuban embassy for more detailed in- formation. Embassy officials willingly reviewed the new code passed by the Cuban Con- gress six months ago, but said they had not been authorized by their government to foster a boom for Havana as a divorce mecca. They said suits in Cuba might be brought on any one of numerous charges, including cruelty, habitual nness, infidelity, desertion, in- compatibility and cruelty toward or cor- ruption of children. “Mother” Jones, 100, Is Slowly Dying at N OHID IS SEEN BY Home in Maryland Labor Leader Has No Or- ganic Trouble, But Is Simply “Worn Out.” Her body literally worn out, “Mother” Mary Jones, 100-year-old friend of labor, is slowly dying.

Increased consumption of water in the fiscal year ended June 30, last, added approximately $95,000 to the revenues of the water department, ac- cording to figures compiled yesterday by Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, auditor and budget officer. ‘The income from water rents alone, the compilations showed, reached an unprecedented total of $1,409.406, and coupled with the assessments for water mains it raised the revenue of the water department for the year to a grand total of $1,573465. The gain last year, however, is only a forerunner of an even greater increase in the current fiscal year, in view of the higher water rates which went into effect July 1, and the prolonged drought this Summer which has re- sulted in an abnormal use of water. Maj. Donovan estimates that the in- come of the water department this year would reach $2,007,000, but this figure does not include the revenue to be de- rived from the excess consumption due to the dry spell. Consumption for Year. Reports of the water department dis- closed that the consumption in the last fiscal year amounted to 29,960,705,000 gallons, an increase of 3,108,513,440 gal- lons over the preceding year. This in- crease was equal to the combined gain of the four years from 1925 to 1929, (Continued on Page 2, Column 8.)

The deaths occurred on a Crawford County farm near Bryon, Ga. Mrs, Artis L. Smith, 30, mother of the two children, swallowed a fatal dose of poison after she had given Mal- comb, 7, and Margie, 4, similar doses, according to the verdict of a coroner's jury at the inquest held today. The empty bottle which had con- tained the poison was found beside the bodies when servants on the farm went who had been on a fox hunt, returned two hours after the deaths. Mrs. Smith was to have appeared in court here today to answer to & warrant filed yesterday by her husband. The sheriff sald it had developed that during an altercation Mrs. Smith bran- dished a gun and had fired into the air. Smith sought the warrant at once, the officer said.

An increase in the speed limit from 22 to 25 miles an hour, and extension of the 30-mile limit on arterial highways is under consideration by a subcommit- tee of the Traffic Advisory Committee appointed by the District Commis- sioners, Throughout the Summer the sub- committee has been studying various plans for expediting the movement of and, as a result, tentatively reached a conclusion that a slight in- crease in the speed limit, coupled with longer 30-mile zones on the Arterial iways, would help materially in ac- complishing that purpose. The sub- committee, however, has not yet put its plan in the form of a recommenda- tion for consideration of the full com- mittee. Improved Machines Factor. ‘The consensus of the subcommittee, it was sald, is that a higher speed limit of 25 miles an hour, would be Jjust as safe as the 22-mile hour limit, in view of the improved mechanical condition of automobiles. Moreover, it was pointed out, many drivers now run at a d of 25 miles an hour, though they do it illegally, but there has been 10 _increase in the accident records. The idea of the subcommittee is to place more responsibility on the driver it the speed limit is raised. He would have to govern his speed according to conditions, or else, if involved in an accident, find himself faced with a charge of reckless driving. Under the present speed limit of 22 miles an hour, it was explained, a driver who proceeds at this rate through heavy traffic is guilty of reckless driv- ing. And such would be the case under a 25-mile limit. The advantage of the increased limit would be to expedite the movement of traffic, particularly on the boulevard highways and on streets having traffic lights, where cross traffic is controlled. The lights, of course, control cross traffic at intersections where the signals are in operation. The intersections of boulevard highways are controlled by signs requiring a vehicle to come to a complete stop before crossing. Proposes More Arterial Highways. The subcommittee, it was said, also believes that more arterial highways could be established, especially in the outlying sections, and some of those now having a 30-mile speed limit could be extended further in toward the heart of tne city. Another subcommittee has been at work on the all-night parking prob- BROMLEY OVER OCEAN ON 4.532-MILE HOP TO TACOMA FROM JAPAN Monoplane Is Equipped With Radio and Carries 1,020 Gal- lons of Gasoline for Hop.

Far out over the ocean they planned to reach the Aleutian Islands. Although a non-stop flight was planned, the Aleutian chain, rocky and wind swept, offered a precarious haven. ‘Their land plane, however, might have difficulty in alighting in the Aleutians or along the rough coast of Southeast- ern Alaska or British Columbia. ‘The monoplane was equipped with & 425-horsepower engine.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 13 (#). —The United States Weather Bureau, replying to a cable request from Harold L.

Reporting on conditions from the Aleutian _Islands to Tacoma, the ‘Weather Bureau replied: “‘Weather overcast, mostly stratus clouds and unsettled from the Aleu- tians to Tacoma for next three days. Winds will be strong west, 40 to 50 miles per hour at high flying altitudes.” Unofficial reports received from points west of the Aleutian Islands also indicated good flying weather, the bureau announced. By taking advantage of such condi- | tions weather forecasters said Bromley would have advantageous tail winds and low clouds.
