And then it was that we were forced to turn about and head back for Japen, the nearest land. Anything else would have been suicide, nothing less. We made every effort to get out of the fog. Sometimes we went down to within 20 feet of the sea. Again we'd rise to a height of 4,000 feet. We could go no higher mor even remain for any length of time at that altitude hecause of our failing fuel supply. Wherever we turned the fog clung to us, gray, wet, impenetrable. It got thicker instead of lighter. ; But our decision to return was due | sblely to the monoxide gas. We were | equipped to overcome our other trouble and, in fact, had almost finished re- pairing the pump and cleaning the line. Hard Decision to Make. ! The deciston to turn back was a hard | one to make. We might have reached Alnska, but the chances were great that We would crash and a crash certainly | would not help aviation. And then, | tpo, if we returned the ship undam- aged a new attempt would be possible. At 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon we sent ont a radio call telling of our plight. :But after finally resolving to turn hack we had next to find out which way was back.

WILBUR KELLOGG SUED FOR ABSOLUTE DIVORCE | Wife of Pater: Attorney Names| pyih Hanna McCormick, Republican Co-respondent ~nd Asks Continued Support for Jelf and Children. Wilbur F. “lellogg, patent attorney, who was acquitted last year on a man- slaughter charge in connection with the death of Charles F. Payne, an adi- tor of the Tariff Commission, was sued in the District Supreme Court today for an absolute divorce by Mrs. Kath- erine A. Kellogg, 1658 Euclid street. The wife named a co-respondent. Mrs. Kellogg, the mother of two chil- dren, alleges two acts of infidelity on the part of the husband, the latter of which, she says, occurred on March 31, 1920. It was three weeks later Kellogg cngaged in a first flight with Payne over the latter's alleged atten- tions to Mrs. Kellogg, which was fol~ lowed by Payne’s death. Mrs. Kellogg, through Ler ‘attorney, Henry M. Fowler, tells the court that the husband has been paying her $175 a month for the support of the chil- dren and herself since March, 1928.

Without permitting any one to seek recognition Chairman Nye began read- ing & statement in which he announced dismissal of the Dannenbergs. ‘The Dannenberg records, thought at first to contain valuable information, Senator Nye said, were of no value to the committee. He absolved them and said they were no longer needed. The committee yesterday had obtained pos- session of 50 telegrams received by the Dannenberg agency, many of which had been published overnight. They were chiefly exchanges between officials and operatives of the detective agency, re- ferring apparently to the shadowing of Senator Nye in North Dakota, Wash- ington and Glacler Park. In his statement “setting forth the position of this committee,” Senaor Nye denfed it had ever employed spies to follow and pry into the private affairs it had directly or indirectly planned or participated in any way in the theft of records from Mrs, McCormick's files. McCormick Plea Denied. Carlstrom stood waiting while Nye read his statement. As soon as the Sen- ator concluded he began a plea to be| heard. “Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick has been charged with some very serious things,” he said. “Justice demands that she be given the right to defend her honor and dignity, both as a candidate and as & member of Congress. I don't feel that she or the State of Illinois is being accorded justice. We want to establish by proof, on the testimony of two witnesses, certain facts pertaining to the work of committee agents in this| matter. We have these witnesses ready to present in this hearing. We have| kept them from hands into which they might have fallen, only to become in- timidated.” “Because Senator Wagner is not here we must defer the permission you ask,” Senator Nye said. “Call Mrs. Reinecke." To every further plea of Carlstrom or Charles Rundall, Nye had one an- swer, “Call Mrs. Reinecke.” Senator Patterson interpolated a statement as Nye called repeatedly for Mrs. Reinecke and she took her seat in the witness chair, Mrs. McCormick Leaves. “I do not join in the statement just made by the chairman,” he said. “Un- til recently I have had nothing to éo! with the work of this committee and I| had nothing to do with the employing by the committee of its agents or ac-| countants. I reserve all opinion and| judgment until after the hearings are, completed.” After_the first clash, in which Carl- strom, Rundall and Nye engaged in a three-cornered battle of repartee, the hearing calmed down to the prosaic bus- iness of questions on campaign expenses. Mrs. Reinecke testified concerning two checks to Col. R. R. McCormick, one for $10,000 and anpther for $2,500, con- tributed toward the primary campaign. She was followed by O. G. Davis, a teacher, who worked in the campaign in behalf of Mrs. McCormick. “It is strange to me" Rundall said when Nye dismissed the Dannenbergs summarily, “that this committee cannof function now without Senator Wagner here, when it has functioned solely through ‘m chairman for a good many Every time he rmd his ple Senator Nye cut him with; “Cal Mrs. Reinecke.” ; As soon as she was denied her peti- tion through Carlstrom, Mrs, McCormick disappeared in spite of the fact the | probe immediately turned upon her | primary camp: expenditures.

DANVILLE, Ill., September 16.—Mrs. nominee for the United States Senate, who has said she will abide by the re- sult of the forthcoming referendum on prohibition in Illinois in November, was criticized by the Illinois Methodist Con- ference in a resolution adopted yester- day. ‘The resolution, offered by the confer- ence’s Committee on Public Safety, said: “In the primary last April Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick received the in- dorsement of the dry forces of the State and by announcing herself as a dry se- cured the primary nomination to the United States Senate, but she has seen fit by what to us seems to be political chicanery to put herself in a position where she has forfeited the confidence | of the moral forces of our State.” One Killed, One Hurt in Storm.

Herbert Hoover; jr., the elder son of the President, who has been suffering ; from an intestinal disorder and a gen- eral run-down condition brought on by over work, will stay at his father's fish- ing camp on the Rapidan for several ‘weeks. In announcing this at the White House today, it was said the young man, who is vice-president of the Western Air Express and radio engineer of that company, has obtained an indefinite leave of absence and will devote his time | to rest until he feels better and stronger. The White House said also that while Herbert's condition is not looked upon as serious, it was realized that be was in a weakened condition and had suf- fered considerable from his intestinal aflment. It is thought doubtful that he will resume his work for several months. President and Mrs. Hoover were great- 1y concerned when they learned of their son’s condition, but they have been re- lievad by reports from Dr. Joel T. Boone, the White House physician. They are satisfled that what he needs mostly is a good long rest. Herbert accompanied his parents to the camp last Saturday. Mrs. Hoover will remain with him for an indefinite period. At the present time, he is confined to his bed, but it/ was explained . the White House that there is reason o feel that he will be up and about in a few days, and that the | remainder of his stay at the camp will be_ solely for rest. Herbert had a slight breakdown about Lawrence Richey, one of the President’s secretaries, near Frederick, Md., where he recuperated. He is 27 years old and has two children. His wife is coming to Washington soon from their home in Pasadena, Calif., to be with him and to accompany him ‘'when he returns to the West. WIFE OF SCULPTOR | IN CUBA ASKS AID Havana Threatens to Jail Him if| He Presses Plea for Art Fees, She Says. By the Assoclated Press. MIAMI, Fla., September 16.—The Miami Daily News today said that Mrs. Richard Struyf, wife of a Belgian scul tor, has sought aid from the State pariment after charging that her hus. band has been threatened with impris. onment “or a worse fate” if he con- tinues efforts to collect money due him for art work on the $17,000,000 Na- tional Capitol in Havana. ‘The news said Mrs. Struyf forwarded a report of the case last night to Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of State in Wash- ington, on her own behalf as an Amer- ican eitizen. At the same time she sent to J. P. Bland of Jacksonville, consular representative of Belgium in Florida, an appeal in behalf of her husband. She came here from Havana yesterday with her son. Mrs. Struyf told the newspaper that political conditions in Havana have made collection of her husband’s claims impossible. “The Cuban government claims it has no money,” she said she wrote Bland. “There is no work for Mr. Struyf over there, and he is completely stranded Wwithout enough money to leave there. They have threatened to arrest him if per. How- anything concerning criticism of the government.” Mrs. Struyf said her husband former- 1y was a resident of Florida. b WARRANTS FOR ARREST OF THREE MEN QUASHED Two of Alleged Fugitives From Alexandria Voluntarily Return, Other One Freed of Charges. Fugitive from justice warrants against three young men, held here for Alex- andria authorities in connection with the death 10 days ago of Maurice “Micky” Kelliher, local sportsman, were quashed in Police Court today when it was learned that two of the men had voluntarily returned to Virginia. . Charges against the third have been dismissed. Earl Garrison, Willlam Shea and Willlam McKeever, were arrested here shortly after Kelliher was fatally in- jured in an automobile accident at the Four-Mile Run death trap on the Alexandria road. Michael Keogh, assistant District at- torney, informed Judge Schuldt today that charges against McKeever have been dropped, while S8hea and Garrison have posted bond in Alexandria. The court ordered the warrants quashed. ‘The men were wanted in Virginia under tentative charges of murder. DR. ATKINSON TO SPEAK Sibley Hospital Woman's Guild Will Open Season. Dr. Wade H.

Turkey, which hitherto has had only one political party because its auto- cratic President, Ghazi Mustapha Ke- mal, did not think it necessary to have more, now has, by order of its Presie dent, two parties. The Ghazi, who within seven years has changed the 500-year-old social, religious and matri- monial ‘laws of his country, realized all of a sudden that the muc h-hated Sultans had a one political party sys- tem.

BY W. R. McCALLUM. Possessor of three of the four major golf titles of the world, Robert Tyre Jones, jr., of Atlanta, known the world over as “Bobby,” stopped off in Wash- ington today on his way to Philadelphia and his final attempt to make a grand slam. in clubs to play an exhibition match at the Columbia Country Club. Arriving in the Capital early today, accompanied by a few friends from At~ lanta, Jones went to the Willard Hotel, where he is to remain tonight, and will leave Washington early tomorrow for Philadelphia, where the national ama- teur championship is to be “played next week. Before Jones teed off at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the Columbia Club with MacDonald Smith, professional who placed second to him in the American and British open championships; Ro. land R. MacKenzie, internationally fa- mous amateur golfer of Washington, and Fred McLeod, professional at the Columbia Country ~Club, the entire party was received at the White House by President Hoover.

When the much puzzled and | | frightened Ambassador arrived, Kemal | summoned his Prime Minister and de- | voted lieutenant, Ismet Pasha, to his | palace and informed both men of his decision of having henceforth two parties. He also told them that he was tak- ing no chances. Fethy was appointed head of the opposition party, while Ismet remained for the time being Prime Minister. He asked the two men to submit to him a list of the promi- nent men they intended to take into their parties and ordered them to go ahead and work, but warned them that while the parties were to be npposed to_each other, each taking & turn in office, under no circumstances would | they be permitted to do anything that might be distasteful to the president of the republic. The parting warning was, “There are more gallows than politicians in Turkey.” (Copyright, 1930.) TAKEN BY DEATH Son of Calvary Baptist Church Pastor Dies at Phila- delphia Hospital. Robert W.

ABOARD STEAM YACHT ERIN, NEWPORT, R. I, September 16 (#).— Sir Thomas Lipton, aboard his private yacht Erin, was informed by the com- mittee boat shortly after 10 a.m. (E. S. T.) this morning that the third race between his green sloop Shamrock V. and the defender Enterprise, had been postponed until tomorrow, because of fog on the course and lack of wind. The Irishman expressed regret. - He had been asking constantly as to weather conditions on the course and believed that a postponement was best under the conditions, “It will give me a chance,” he said, “to install a new sailing motor in the Shamrock. The old one doesn't seem to run very well on this American petrol.” Many of Sir Thomas’ guests imme- diately went ashore for the day, but the 80-year-old baronet decided to stick to his ship and catch up with the corre- spondence and telegrams that have piled up on him since the start of the America’s Cup races. The Erin had not moved from her position in the harbor, within hailing distance of the Shamrock V and the Enterprise, moored nearby. The crews of the cup boats were on deck, peering at the thick fog that had settled over the bay, watching the pen- nants for a sign of breeze. They were | ready to race, but no tenders appeared to tow them to the mark and appar- | ently the crews had little hope for hours 'ldhal the third race could be sailed to- ay. Sir- Thomas shook hands “with his guests and was disappointed for them that the entertainment for the day had been canceled. “It's ‘a pity,” he said. “People come from so far to see the race and there is none. I can't make the weather, but 1 wish I could.” ITALY AND BERLIN JOIN WITH BRITAIN IN DISARMING PLEA ___(Continued From First Page.) he asked, “that in the early years of this League such & confederation may give rise to serious misconceptions? If Europe organizes to consolidate her industrial position, however little she may mean to do s0 detrimentally to other parts of the world, it may create a situation that no member of the League would wish. Economic action must not be sectional or regional—it must be universal. Dr. C. C. Wu told the Assembly that | a confederation of the entire world may reasonably grow from the Briand plan. He pictured the growth of similar unions | | among other nations on other contin- | | ents, and then gradual amalgamation as hension. Such a confederation, he said, was predicted by Confuclus 24 centuries ago. He added that it was with this idea in mind that Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen founded the Chinese republic. He concluded with a brief reference to a plan for harmoniz- storfes. “Maj. Campbell's charges indicate that there is something wrong at the top,” said Senator Brookhart. “If such | conditions exist, no wonder we cannot | have real enforcement of prohibition.” | Senator Brookhart said that he con- | | sidered Secretary Mellon responsible | for Assistant Secretary of the Treasury | Lowman, against whom many of the | charges by Maj. Campbell have been | directed. Reed is Non-committal. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, when ilsked today about the charges made by Maj. Campbell, said that he had read some of the newspaper stories, but knew nothing about the charges beyond that. He was unable, he said, to ex- press an opinion as to whether the Senate would investigate prohibition administration or not. The Pennsylvania Senator declared himself a firm believer in the victory of Gifford Pinchot, Republican nominee for Governor in Pennsylvania. He said, too, that he was confident that Secre- tary Davis of the Department of La- bor, the G. O. P. nominee for the Senate, also would be elected. Senator Reed said that he did not see how it would be possible to con- tinue the reduction in the inccme tax rate which was made for this year at the last session of Congress, uniess it should be found possible to curtail ex- penses further. Predicts G. O. P. Victories. Benator Brookhart also discussed the political situation, declaring that the | Republicans would carry Iowa by a sub- stantial vote. Representative Dickinson, Republican nominee for the Senate, would have no difficulty, Brookhart said, in defeating Senator Steck, his Democratic opponent. The gubern- atorial candidate, Dan Turner, who has been a State Senator, Senator Brook- hart said, would win by a large vote. Turner represents the Progressive spirit of Towa, he added. “The Democrats have written into their party platforms a wet plank in | Towa,” said Senator Brookhart. “That | will get them nowhere.

Proceeds Go to McWatt. Jones, the most sought-after ifer in the world, has turged down .x‘:mn than 200 requests this year to play in exhibition golf matches, but consented to play in the match today because the entire proceeds at the gate will go to Bobby McWatt, formerly professional at the old Columbia Golf Club, who was so severely injured in an automobile acci- dent that he will never be able again to swing a club.

Recalling the aniat®ur cham= plonship of 1919, when Jones was de= feated in the final round after over- zealous gallery marshals had yelled “fore” at the gallery while he ‘was mak- ing his shots, the Columbia officials made every effort to avoid ‘any inter- ference with the play.
