President’s Speech Will Be Broadcast After Series Game President Hoover, himself a base ball fan, will not interrupt the broadcasting of next Mon- day's world series games with his #peech in Boston. The Chief Executive has asked William Green, President of the American Federation of Labor, to Tead the speech he will make be- fore the labor organization to the radio listeners after the game. Green's rendition of the Presi- dent’s speech will be broadcast by the National Broadcasting Co.

Burke of Pittsburgh and James L, West, pub- Heity director of the Republican Na- tional Committee. Also in the party were 19 newspaper ecorrespondents, 10 news photographers end motion picture operators and an :‘qu-.l number of Secret Service opera- ves. Upon his arrival at North Philadel- phia, the President was joined by James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, who is the Republican candidate for Sepator from Pennsylvania; Daniel Pomeroy, Repub- lican nationai committeeman from New Jay Cooke, 3d., Philadelphia . and Jeremiah Millbank, New York banker. Party to Be Reduced. - The President’s party will be greatly reduced in size when his special train leaves for Cleveland. He will be accom- panied on this lap of his trip only by Secretary Akerson, AssistantgSecietary ©of the Navy Ingalls, his naval and mili- tary aides, Dr Boone and the corre- spondents, photographers and secret service men. ‘When the President's specia! pulled out of Union Station at Washington this morning at 10 o'clock, it marked the beginning of two trips, which will include four speeches. The President will leave Philadelpbia immediately after the game for Cleveland, where he ‘will arrive shortly before noon tomor- row. He will be taken on an automobile ride of about 5 miles about the down- town section before going to the Hotel Cleveland, which will be his headquar- ters there. He will be the guest of honor at & large luncheon to be given by business men of Cleveland. Several hours of the afternoon will be turned over to the President and Mrs. Hoover to_dis- of in their own fashion. It is tht they will take a motor ride and probably make one or two calls on friends, and later will receive friends in their hotel suite. Following dinner the President will go to the Auditorium, ‘where he will deliver his address to the American Bankers’ Association, assem- bled for the closing event of the ffty- sixth annual convention. Expect Great Crowd. The President has been advised that & huge crowd will be assembled to hear him. It was in this Auditorium that Calvin Coolidge was nominated for the presidency in 1924. It had a capacity of 13,000 then, but it has since been enlarged to accommodate 16,000. Because of the nature of this gath- ering, what the President will say on this occassion is being looked forward to with expectancy. The same interest s being taken in the two speeches he will g:‘lum'fi Boston_on, October . one before erican Legion and the other before the American Fed- eration of Labor, and the one he will deliver October 7 at Kings Mountain, on the border line of North and South Carolina. The making of these four speeches at this particular time is looked upon by many as the President's personal con- tribution to the cause of his party in the congressional campaign now under way The White House has disclaimed any suggestion. of politics being asso- ciated with these speeches. It has been explained by the President’s associates PRESIDENT KEPT BY ECUADOR, MASTERFUL INCAS DESCENDANT Ayora, Was Refused, Active as Surgeon. American Experts Called in| Applying Remedies of National llls. BY REX COLLIER. Dr. Isidro Ayora, bronzed descendant | of the Incas, whose resignation as President of Ecuador was refused yes- terday by the National Congress, is one of the most colorful and progressive executives in South America. He didn’t want to be President in the first place, but the pleas of his people prevailed and he finally accepted the post of provisional President. In acceding to the wishes of the clamoring populace Dr. Ayora, how- ever, exacted what is probably the strangest proviso in the history of Latin America. Under the approved arrangement he was to continue on & part-time basis his private medical practice. Accordingly, he presided over his medical office in the morning and over his nation in the afternoon. morning he treated human ills and every afternoon the 1ills of government, And there was an abundance of gov- ernmental ills to be treated when Dr. Ayora assumed the office of President. ‘The story of how Dr. Ayora diagnosed his country’s economic troubles and ad- ministered drastic measures that re- stored new life to the republic is one well known to President Hoover, who met and gained the sincere friendship of the Ecuadoran medico-President during the good will tour of 1928. Prescribed Special Board., ‘The treatment which Dr. Ayora had prescribed for his revolution-agitated patient included the ministrations of a special board of expert consultants from the United States. The Ayora story is one to capture popular imagination. Before becoming provisional President, Dr. Ayora was a stranger to politics. In the world of medicine and surgery, however, he had an enviable reputation. His attainments had gained him wide renown throughout Ecuador and extending over the whole continent of South America. ‘There came one of the periodic revo- lutions, which have beset the equatorial republic sinte its early days. The con- stitutional government was overthrown by a military coup and for a while the country was ruled by two military lead- ers, who were excellent soldiers, but poor statesmen. The revolutionists them- selves sensed a threatening economic collapse unless the government were put in more efficient hands. A hunt was launched for & man who could step into the tottering situation and lend a steadying hand. Attention seemed to gravitate naturally toward Or. Ayora. He had the confidence of all the people as a professional man, and he had displayed enough adminis- trative capacity in public welfare work, that he was the logical choice. Dr. Ayora was very reluctant to ac- cept the job. Indeed, he absolutely refused the presidency, when first it was offered him. The military tribunal was insistent, however, and it was then he agreed to take the role on his half- day basis. Calls on Advisers. Perhaps the military men had thought Dr. Ayora would serve merely as a figurehead, anyway. If that was their thought, they soon learned otherwise. The physician astounded his country by announcing a plan for finding what was wrong with Ecuador. He let it be known he was summoning economic advisers from the United States to help him in his_task. Prof. Edwin W. Kemmerer of Prince- ton University and a staff of assistants were called in and given a free hand in diagnosing Ecuador’s financial trou- bles. The commission of experts went to work and finally handed in their re- port. It called for 25 economic reforms deemed essential to the financial re- habilitation of the republic. Among these were recommendations for estab- lishment of a national bank, promulga- tion of a budget law, adoption of new methods of taxation and revision of customs duties. Without question, Dr. Ayora proceeded to carry out the recommendations. The entire financial structure of the gov- ernment was reorganized. A central bank was set up, a mortgage bank for | agriculture formed, a bank founded for | the special purpose of relieving the gov- | ernment of an enormous pension bur- | den, the monetary system was stabilized, | a general banking law was pasced and. | for the first time in Ecuador's history, | the national budget was balanced.

Will Return Friday, At any rate, it is understood that this will be the nearest approach Mr. Hoo- ver will make to any personal partici- rflnn in the present campaign, and hat these two short trips will be the nearest thing to a co-called “political swing” he ‘will take during the cam- paign. These trips are the first real ones of a public nature the President has taken since last October, when he went to Dearborn and Detroit, Mich.; Cincinnati, Ohio. and Louisville, Ky. four speeches on this trip will be the first Mr. Hoover has made away from Washington since last Memorial day, when he delivered an oration at Gettysburg, Pa. Immediately following his speech in Cleveland, the President will go aboard his special train and head back for Washington, arriving here about Breakfast time Friday. He will leave ‘Washington Sunday night for Boston, arriving there the next morning. Mr. Hoover will leave Boston that night for Kings Mountain, arriving there the next day at noon, and will head back for ‘Washington four hours later, arriving on the afternoon of October 8 CURTIS PLANS THREE SPEECHES IN OCTOBER tle cabinet” to insure smooth operation of the re- organized government. customs, financial adviser to the na. tional bank and superintendent gen- eral of banks. As a result, Ecuador experienced a | novel financial renalssance. Although | a cacao blight loomed on Ecuador's chief industry, Dr. Ayora met the emer- gency by instituting agricultural re- searches designed to find a profitable substitute for cacao as & major crop. | At the same time the President at- | tended to other pressing needs of his people.

No Lack of Opposition. All these far-reaching changes were | not effected wholly without opposition. One report has it that & group of mil- itary leaders became so incensed that they plotted his overthrow by force. He subdued the plotters and banished them. Then Dr. Ayora called the National Assembly 1nto session, delivered an im- passioned lecture on the state of the government and resigned his dictator- ship. But he was not to step from his office 50 easily. An electioh was called and Dr. Ayora again found himself President of Ecuador.

President’s Message. ‘The President’s message to Congress, notifying it of his acquiescence with its | wishes, reads: " I consider it the highest and greatest honor to which the Chief Magistrate can aspire to have his resignation re- fused as the National Congress has refused mine. “I had resolved to resign because I believed profoundly that the nation needed at this hour a new government born of the new national movements and without the opposition which has developed to the present regime. “But I do not want to be obstinate in bending my own will to the desires of the National Congress and of the people as they have been manifested to me in their requests to continue in office at this moment of danger. “Therefore I am disposed to conse- crate my energies to the service of the fatherland. ¢ At the cost of whatever sacrifice, @ shall continue to direct the destinies of the state, content with the help and confidence of my compatriots.” - lMPERiAL COUNCII.: HOLDS ALL SESSIONS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS (Continued From First Page.) | the case also in any future meetings of the conference, Mr. MacDonald told the delegates, it was learned, that one of the main problems betore the conference was to consider relations with foreign powers and in particular to determine how, by their combined influence, British repre- sentatives could forward work to- | ward disarmament and cstablishment | of machinery for peaceful settlement of | disputes between nations, Three Important Questions, The Imperial Conference agenda | First, inter- | imperial relations; second, foreign | Policy and defense; third, economi: | questions.

PLANS 10 PROTST APARTIENT RAID Frank E. McLaughlin Says Vice Squad Broke Door and Took Rubbing Alcohol. Protest against & raid on his apart- ment last night, in which members of the police vice detail seized a half pint of rubbing alcohol, today was threat- ened by Prank E. McLaughlin, 69 years old, of .1332 I street. McLaughlin said that police broke the glass on the front door and entered without the formality of ringing the doorbell, and he intended to make & report of the case to proper authorities. McLaughlin's wife, who is a teacher at Strayer's Business College, was pres- ent at the time. A warrant for a 28-year-old man was shown by the squad, McLaughlin said, but despite this the raiding offi- cers seized & half pint of grain alcohol, which he used to rub & leg which was broken several months ago. 23 Are Arrested. ‘The raid was one of a series in which members of Inspector, T. R. Bean's vice detail at police headquar- ters arrested 23 persons. Four of the raids were made at the I street address, according to police reports. Henry Gilmore and H. B. Holmes, colored _elevator operators; Paul D, Beach, Beity Mae Fischer, alias Lilhan Lewis; Tillle Helen Caldwell alias Anna Mae McCoy, and Ida Louise Collie were arrested in the raids on the I street apartments, The first five were charged with sale of liquor, while the Collie woman was held for investigation and later released. Walter Edward Tipton, 40 years old, was arrested on a warrant charging him with sale of liquor when policemen raided a house in the 600 block of F street, 4 Gaming Charges Made. Charges of permitting gaming_were lodged against Jack Claude Brady when he was arrested in the 1800 block Seventh street, while five men found in the place were taken into custody as witnesses and required to post bond of $100 each. Brady obtained his free- dom on $500 bond. Eugene Burton of the 2800 block of Georgia avenue was arrested on & charge of permitting gaming, while four additional witnesses were taken in the raid on his place. Charles Cham- bers was apprehended in the 1900 block of ‘Fourteenth street and held on a charge of gaming in a rald which also netted two Government witnesses, Chambers later was released under $500 bond. Charges of permitting: gaming also were preferred against James Madison, 27 years old, Who was ar- rested in & rald in the 1400 block of R street, and Alfred Jones, colored, who was taken into custody in the 1400 block of T street. POLICE OF DI OF DISTRICT TO HAVE ASSISTANCE OF MICROANALYST ___(Continued Prom Pirst Page) aid the investigators in arriving at a solution. Donalcson's potential service to the Police Department, its was pointed- out, will virtually be unlimited in the fleld of sclentific criminal investigation. Cases might arise, it was said, where there are indications that a murder had been committed and an attempt made to destroy the body by fire or other consuming agency. Donaldson would be called on to examine recov- ered bones to determine whether they are human or animal, Donaldson also wiil be expected to analyze spots found on garments or other articles at the scene of a crime to determine whether they were caused by blood. At an explosion, it was de- clared, his service would be invaluable in examining the fragments of bombs or infernal machines, as there are cases on record where such examination has revealed some special characteristics which provided & clue toward the de- tection of the makers. Since the introduction of the scien- tific laboratories in crime detection, it was explained, cases have been Tre- corded where finger nail scrapings and cerumen, or ear wax, have provided clues. Donaldson would be called on to analyze such specimens. In some cases it might become necessary for Donaldson to determine whether strands of hair found in connection with & crime: are of human origin/and whether they belong to a certain individu Much scientific investigation has al ready been done along these lines and able findings recorded. Donaldson was given some concept of his new dutles at a conference today with Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superintend- ent of police.

By the Associated Press, CLEVELAND, Ohio, October metropolitain areas and country-wide branch banking in rural districts “where economically justified” were in- dorsed by the American Bankers' As- sociation in convention here today. ‘The association had heretofore op- posed branch banking. After opposition had developed on the floor of the convention to the resolu- tion on branch banking, the resolution was modified to state that the separate States should be free to make their own laws in regard to the subject. The opposition had come from the Pennsylvania and New Jersey delegetes whose representatives said they believed in the soundness of the present unit banking system and that branch bank- ing interfered with individual initia- tive. They gave the opinion that branch banking should be limited to the cor- porate limits of municipalities, Stephenson President. Rome C. Stephenson was unanimously elected president of the association to succeed John G. Lonsdale. Stephenson is vice president of the St. Joseph Coun- ty Savings Bank of South Bend, Ind. Lonsdale is president of the Mercantile Commerce nk & Trust Co. of St. Louts, Mo. Harry J. Haas, president of the PFirst National Bank of Philadelphia, was chosen first vice president. Francis H.

The attitude of American labor on unemployment relief was commend- ed. The bankers said they believe | “that the ultimate solution of the prob- vate insurance which will not degen- | litical exigencies,” ! 0. K. International Bank. The bankers approved the Bank for International Settlements, expressing the hope that it will “develop more and more into an instrument making for the orderly management of interna- tional financial transactions and thus alding in the maintenance of peace among nations. The association gave its support to the section of the House resolution on bank taxation now pending in Congress, providing that taxes on shares of na- tional banks shall be measured by taxes on_competing moneyed capital. Opposition was expressed to national bank taxation that does not involve the following princinals: That “no_more than s reasonable proportion of the net income of national banks be absorbed by taxation; that competing financial institutions be taxed by the same method and at the same rate as national banks, that the burden of taxation of national banks be no greater, in gmporllon to their net in- come than the burden imposed on other business institutions and that the real estate of banks shall be separately taxed “to the same extent, according to its value as other real estate is taxed.” Recommend State Income Tax. State income tax to distribute the burden of taxation more equitably was recommended today.by Thorton Cooke, president of the Columbia National Bank of Kansas Cily, Mo, and chair- man of the Committee on Taxation. He said it is the belief, in the face of the fact that governmental costs are continually mounting, that property tax should be increased no further. “Property tax has been too long an incitement to evasion, a penalty for suc- cess and a brake on progress,” Cooke said. “It isn’t very effective either, except upon real estate and bank shares, and there it has become, in too many in- stances, intolerable.” He sald new objects for taxafon must be found, and one of these should be income. Will Not Frighten Industry. “Some fear that the State income tax will frighten industries from locat- ing in the States that have it, but let us consider,” he said. “Four and half per cent is a typical State income tax. Several States have it. If labor and raw material condi- tions in a given State are attractive, are corporations deterred from coming in by the fact that they can retain for themselves only 95'¢ per cent of their profits? “I do not find that they are. Perhaps, indeed, they are glad to know that, if they don’t make any money, at least they won't have great taxes to pay in the few years it takes to get a new industry going. “There is another way, of course, by which intangible property can be reached. Some States tax capital value at 3, 4 and 5 mills on the dollar. It isn't so efficient a way as taxing the income.” Gold Bullion Reaches Naples. ly October 1 (#).—The rrived here today from Is of goid bul- lion valued 60,000,000 lire, or lem is to be found in a system of pri-| | erate into a dole system to meet po- | | | I:lay-by-Play Story of _Game (Continued From First Page.) on the third ball pitched.

Blades handled the ball poorly when it bounded off the fence, and was lucky to escape an error. This was the first hit of the game, Miller fouled Grimes’ first pitch. . Two wide ones fol- lowed, and the fans whooped it up with handclapping in an effort to disconcert the St. Louis pitcher.

He slipped and fell, and Grimes was credit- ed with a hit. This filled the bases with none out. With a count .of one and one, Douthit flied to Haas, Man- cuso scoring after the catch with the run that knotted the count, Gelbert taking third. Adams then lifted to Miller, and Gelbert also tallied, putting the Cardinals in the lead, to 1. Grimes made no attempt’ to advance. Frisch's hot smash, which caromed.off Groves' glove, reached Boley too late to make an attempt at a putout, and Frisch was credited with a hit. This put Grimes on second, and the two-run and four-hit rally was snuffed when Bottomley fouled to his rival first sack- | er, Jimmy Foxx. Two runs. PHILADELPHIA—Boley met the first ball pilched by Grimes and skied to Hafey.. The crowd encouraged Grove with applause as he came to the bat. He proved a strikeout victim, the third being called. Bishop, after taking a ball, topped one to the box, and Grimes tlossed him out. No runs. FOURTH INNING. ST. LOUIS—Hafey's foul strike was followed by a ball, and Chick then flied to Haas in left center. Grove was un- able to locate the plate for Blades, who walked on four pitched balls. This was the first pacs issued by Connle Mack’s star southpaw. Mancuso, who started the trouble for Grove in the preceding round, met the ball solidly, but sent it on a line to Simmons in left center. With & count of one and one and the hit-and-run sign on display, Gelbert punched his second single through the :pot vacated by Boley, who was running to second to cover. This put Blades at the midway. Grove then put on steam and fanned Grimes with three deliveries. No runs. PHILADELPHIA—A ball followed & called strike, and Dykes grounded to Adams, who flagged him at first, Bot- | tomley doing a fine job of reaching to get | Sparky's wide throw. Cochrane fouled a pair of strikes, looked over three wide | ones and hoisted to Blades in right | fleld. Simmons, with a count of two | and one, connected solidly with Grimes’ | next offering and walloped the ball over | the right field fence for a home run, | which brought the Athletics up to even terms with their National League rival. | The crowd gave Al a big hand for this prodigious poke. “Foxx swung as though | trying to emulate the feat of his tea mate, but succeeded only in whiffing.

PHILADELPHIA—Grove, opening the Athletic’s sixth batting turn, was easy for Grimes, who struck him out with four pitches. Bishop waited out the full string and was rewarded with a free ticket, the second pass issued by Grimes.

Mickey and the opposing pitcher exchanged verbal compliments, but nothing hap- pened. Grimes then intentionally walked Simmons as the throng gave the pitcher the Bronx salute. By this time three red-coated Cardinal pitchers were warming up in the bullpen. Foxx fouled for the second strike after taking one ball, and swinging at a high, wide de- livery fanned for the second time in succession. This gave Grimes credit for retirin gthe side on strikes One run. SEVENTH INNING. ST. LOUIS—Fouls handig: Gel- bert with a pair of strikes, and he died on a roller to Dykes, his batting streak being ended at two straight. Grimes was booed as he came to bat, and he responded by poking a clean single to right fleld, his second safety of the game. This brought up Douthit, hit- less thus far. The Cardinal center- flelder cracked the first ball pitched to deep short, where Boley dived to knock it down, and recovered the ball in time to fofce Grimes with a toss to Bishop. The crowd voiced its appreciation of | the play. Adams’ contribution at this | point was a single past Dykes to left | that put Douthit on second. This was Sparky’s first safety.

They were stirred by the fact that their new offices would not be convenient to their sources of re- search and legal negotiations if the Public. Buildings Commission had switched its plans. The report is unfounded, however, it was emphasized today by M. Kerlin, ad- ministrative assistant to the Secretary of Commerce, formerly of the United States Bureau of Efficiency,- whe -said { that “the Patent Office is definitely and oositively to be located in the New Com- merce Building, where it will occupy the entire north wing.

If he mneceds them he will also have available the ine vestigators of the department’s Bureau of Investigation. It was believed in official circles to- day that Kelley, who is now out of the city, may be one of the first witnesses in the inquiry, both by the Department of Justice and the Senate Land Com= i mittee. Secretary Wilbur, who administers the public domain, said he expect the Department of Justice to “give full opportunity to establish any charges and to seek explanation of the origin of these reckless and false statements.” Wilbur has refused to accept Kelley's resignation pending investigation of his charges. He said the Interior De- partment had contested all claims for oil shale lJands and had allowed claims for only 9.000 acres out of a total of several million after the Supreme Court hl.d overruled the Government's objec- tions. Inquiry Was Closed. Senator Nye manifested interest in the Kelley charges because of their m- sible relation to the old charges it the Government was defrauded in leases on the Salt Creek Ol Fields in Wyoming. After a Senate investigation, the ine quiry into the Salt Creek leases was closed. Nye expressed “surprise” at the Kels ley charges, “ because of the confidence which I have had that the present ad< ministration of the public domain was doing all that possibly could be done to insure divorcement from those fluences which have looted the public domain in the past.” He explained his inquiry of Kelley was a personal one with a view to determining if Senate action should be sought. Senator Nye sought a conference with Kelley on Friday or Saturday. deb sl ey BOY AVIATOR RESUMES TRANSNATION FLIGHT By the Assoclated, Pre: WICHITA, Kans,, October 1.—Robert Buck, 16 years old, Elizabeth, N.
