DO-X SEA FLIGHT SET FOR SATURDAY| 8 Eurther Tests to Be Made of Newly Arranged Motors and Wing Repairs. By the Assoctated Press. LISBON, Portugal, January 29.—De- parture of the DO-X, giant German filying boat, on a transatlantic flight to Brazil, was delayed today until Satur- day to permit further tests of newly ar- ranged motors and recent wing repairs. ‘The start of the trip originally was planned for this morning, but it was said that a trial flight yesterday falled to give complete satisfaction. The ship'’s route will be by way of Madeira, the Cape Verde Islands, the Canary Islands and Natal to Rio de Jarieiro. Capt. Friedrich Christiansen said this morning that the start was definitely fixed for Saturday, provided, of course, that the weather is good. This after- noon the motors were thoroughly in- spected.

By Cable to The Star. TOKIO, Japan, January 29.—The ex- istence of a.reserve fund of 60,000,000 | ven (about $30,000,000 at current ex- change) for the construction of new warships was revealed in the Japanese Diet today by Finance Minister Jun- nosuke Inouye. It was also brought out that the naval authorities are con- sidering an additional naval program to make up the deficit in the London naval treaty besides the program of 374000000 yen (about $187,000,000) wmin' for discussion before the Diet. Mr. Inouye said, “We do not know what the Disarmament Conference will do, but we have 60,000,000 yen in re- serve.” Admiral Kiyokazu Abo, minister of the navy, replying to an interpellation by Baron Nakahiro Ikeda of the Kosei- Kal party in the House of Peers this afternoon, declared the program agreed upon by the naval authorities did not quite make up the deficit resulting from the London naval treaty and that another supplementary program 1s now under consideration. Baron Ikeda in his interpellation scored the government for its failure to adhere to the three fundamental the | principles of the Japanese Navy at London, namely, 70 per cent ratio in all auxiliaries, 70 per cent ratio in large crulsers and 78,000 tons of submarines.

The first medal was awarded him for distinguished con- duct in the battle of Vera Cruz, in 1914, and the second Medal of Honor was conferred upon him for ‘“conspicuous bravery” during the attack on Fort Riviere, Haiti, in 1915. In addition to these medals, he has the Army Distin- guished Service Medal and the Navy Distinguished Service Medal for services in Prance during the World War. Gen. Butler was born in Pennsylvania 50 years ago and has served in the Ma- rl.ne Corps almost continuously since Gen.

CUTTER WILL TEST w [ as waes stanen roun | [NTERNAL REVENUE JOSEPHINE K SPEED Race to Decide Whether Fir- ing Was. Necessary to Stop Rum Boat. By the Assaclated Press. NEW YORK, January 20.—The Jo- sephine K, Canadian rum-runner cap- tured off Ambrose Light Saturday night after her master had been mortally wounded by a Coast Guard shell, steamed down the bay today to race with the C. G. 145, the ship which shelled and seized her. The purpose of the race, which was arranged by the Coast Guard board of inquiry investigating the shelling, was to determine whether the cutter had speed enough to overhaul the rum ship without resorting to direct fire. This question was injected into the investigation by Gerald Campbell, Brit- ish consul general in New York, who is participating at the request of the Canadian Government. Comdr. J. I. Bryan, presiding officer at the inquiry, announced the race at the opening of today’s session. Josephine K Put in Shape. The two vessels, one known as the fleetest craft in the rum service, the other designed to cope with just such speedsters, were to cover the same two-mile course they raced over Satur- day night, but this time there was a starting gun instead of a finish gun. ‘The Josephine K, the board of inquiry was informed, had been put in shape for today’s race. Her steering gear was damaged by one of the direct hits scored by Boatswain Karl Schmidt in Satur- day’s battle. ‘The board heard testimony before the race from C. G. Birkett, executive officer of the Coast Guard cutter Sebago, who drew up alongside the Josephine K a few hours after the Ahelli.n( He had beenfi\;mmoned by a radio message from Another Butler speech that caused |the wide comment was made in Oakland, Calif., a year or two after he quit trying to clean up Philadelphia.

Willlams was reprimanded and his rating lowered. A few months after- wards he drowned after his automobile plunged into San Francisco Bay. Still another address by Butler which caused & furore in unofficial circles was in San Diego in 1926. The general had told of his experiences in Philadelphia and of instructions to police to “shoot to kill” if necessary. The San Diego County Federated Trades and Labor Council wrote Curtis D. Wilbur, then Navy Secretary, that the address was “anarchistic and inflam- matory.” The Secretary did nothing about it, however. CREDITS STORY TO VANDERBILT. Portiand Man Recalls Writer's State- ments Before Butler. PORTLAND, Ore., January 29 (#)— Clarence H. White, manager of a Port- land Lyceum booking concern, said to- day Premier Mussolini was accused as a hit-and-run driver by Cornelius Van- derbilt, jr. before a small group in New York, in November, 1930. Commenting on the official attention given a speech of Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, referring to the incident, White related he heard Vanderbilt's story at the Vanderbilt Hotel. “The story told by Gen. Butler about Mussolini’s reckless driving and his ac- tions after runni over a little girl is true to that description,” White said. Said He Had Interview. “Vanderbilt was telling how he had made a wager that he could interview certain prominent Europeans. “He sald he was successful in ap- proaching Mussolini and the premier invited him on a four-day tour of Italy. Mussolini preferred to drive his own machine. “One day while driving at a high rate of speed, they came to a sh: turn in the road with a high wall fac- ing them. Despite the speed, Mussolini made the turn and escaped the wall. Just as they swung around the turn a little girl ran out into the road. The machine ran over her, Vanderbilt said, but Mussolini continued on. Names Others Present. “Vanderbilt said he protested and suggested they stop , but Mussoiini passed it off with a gesture and re- marked that they did not have time or_something similar to that.” White sald other persons present when Vanderbilt told the story included Gen. Butler, Louis J. Alberts, Clevt‘lflnd O. B. Stephenson, Chicago; M. ‘Turney, Dallas, Tex.; P. M. Nlelsen Pittsburgh, and E. A. Wicks, Boston. BUTLER MAKES SPEECH. Concludes With Wish to Tell More, but Has Said Too Much. PHILADELPHIA, January 29 (#).— Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler concluded a humorous talk at the annual banquet of the American Wood Preservers’ As- sociation here last night with the re- mark: “I would like to tell you more, bllt I have s0 much to answer for now." ‘Then he strode rapidly from the banquet hall while his auditors were still applauding, jumped into an auto- mobile and was whisked away to the office of Director of Public Safety Sfih::fleld in City Hall for a personal chat. Silent on Previous Speech. If the banqueters expected that Gen. Butler would talk on subjects that have given him a prominent place in the news the past few days, they were dis- appointed. None of the matters with which his name has been connected was mentioned, either directly or_indirectly. Prior to the dinner Gen. Butler told the Assoclated Press his talk would be on “Experiences.” He declined to say whether he had made a reply to a letter from Secretary of the Navy Adams requesting his version of an ad- dress at the Contemporary Club here last week, in which he was reported have criticized Premier Mussolini of taly, and he declined to say whether he had been quoted correctly or in- correctly. “I haven't a word to say,” Gen. But- ler stated. “I have no comment to make whatever.” BUTLER STAYS INDOORS. Aide Meets Visitors With Comment, “General Is Not Receiving.” QUANTICO, Va. January 29 (#)— Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, facing court-martial under orders of Secretary Adams, kept today within his quarters awaiting information as to the specific charges against him. ‘The officer would receive no one other than officers of the huge post here, until today commanded by him. Callers at his home were met by an aide and an unvarying answer: not receiving visitors Tells of Checking Position. Birkett testified he checked the posi- tion of the rum ship by gyro compass and radio compass, and determined that she was 11.7 miles offshore. E. Gerald Shepherd, representing the British consul, quest Birkett in an effort to establish that the Josephine K. had been towed back within the 12-mile limit before he reached the scene. The uard officer did not think she had. Birkett told the investigators that shortly after he boarded the rum ship he talked with Alfred Cluett, whose brother, Capt. William P. Cluett, was killed. The officer said he inspected Alfred Cluett’s bank book and was sur- prised to see a balance of only $50. “I told him he must be a newcomer to this business,” Birkett testified, “and be sald, “This is my first and last D" Boatswain Accused of Drinking. One of seven witnesses produced by the British consul general at the in- itively yesterday that ‘hmidt, in command of C. G. 145, the cutter which captured the rum boat, was intoxicated when he boarded his prize. Of six other members of the rum- runner’s crew taken before the board of inquiry to tell what they observed about Schmidt's sobriety, one said he saw the boatswain drink a bottle of ale and the others had no evidence to offer on the subject. Schmidt denied he was intoxicated or had taken a drink. Louis Selig, Halifax seaman, was the witness who declared unequivocally that Boatswain Schmidt had been drinking. ~ Schmidt appeared to “very intoxicated,” Selig said. “He staggered.” Selig declared he saw the boatsWwain down “six or more” bottles of ale and “g couple of whiskies.” He added that Schmidt’s talk was incoherent, al- though he clearly caught one sentence “It was too bad the captain got shot. Harry Jewell, also of Halifax, Yestl- fi!ednhe saw Schmidt drink one of ale. BODY ON WAY TO HALIFAX. Accompanied by Brother of Captain Killed by Coast Guards. Halifax, Novia Scotia, January 29 (#). —The body of William Cluett, 28-year- old Luneburg captain who lost his life when the liquor-runner Josephine K 27D | was shelled by the United States Coast Guard off New York harbor Saturday night, will be brought to Halifax to- night. gl'he body will arrive in Lunenburg tomorrow morning. Alfred Cluett, also a member of the Josephine K's crew, is accompanying the body of his brother. ‘The funeral service will be deferred until Sunday to enable a number of the Lunenburg captain’s sea-faring friends to attend. His wife and their children and other relatives are awaiting the body’s arrival. EXCHANGE OF NOTES SEEN. Canada May Repeat Protests Made in T'm Alone Case. OTTAWA, Ontario, January 29 (Ca- nadian Press) —It was believed last night that the department of external affairs had been advi.sed of developments in the Josephine K case, although the report of the United States Govern- ment on the incident is not expected for some time. Its receipt will probably result in an exchange of “notes” between Canada and the United States, particularly if there are important differences in the evidence of ' witnesses testifying before the board of inquiry in New York into zhle c&plm‘e and killing of Capt. William Clue It was recalled that the government of Canada, during the correspondence with the United States Government re- sulting from the sinking of the I'm Alone, protested against the measure of force which had been used by the Coast Guard on that occasion. The Canadian government pointed to article two of the anti-smuggling treaty, which sets forth that, under certain condi- tions, “the vessel may be seized and taken into & port of the United States.” Such a clause, it was contended, could hardly be interpreted as author- izing “destruction by shell fire and with loss of life on a vessel on the high seas after a two-day pursuit.” C ces_surrounding the cap- ture of the Josephine K would seem to form the basis for a similar contention to that put forward by the C: government in the I'm Alune case. If _the measure of force in sinking the I'm Alone was deemed to be exces- sive, the capture of the Josephine K after shooting her captain may also be regarded in the same light. BAND CONCERT.

CLUBWOMEN BACK BILLBOARD DRIVE Prince Georges Federation to Vote on Resolution Urging Elimination. Confidence was expressed at a meet- ing of the Prince Georges County Fed- eration of Women's Clubs at Mount Rainfer, yesterday that ifs affliated clubs in the county would render col- lective support to the campaign to eliminate roadside nuisances from the highways in the metropolitan area of Washington in preparation for the 1932 Bicentennial. A resolution indorsing the campaign | removal of signboards and the planting | enunciates all mill was offered, but under the rules of the federation, it has to go over until next month’s meeting for action. Miss Har- lean James, executive secretary of '.he American Civic Association, was speaker at the meeting and Dullined what has already been accomplished in organizing public sentiment in favor of improving the appearances of the highways in the Washington territory. Mrs. Allen Presides. Mrs. R. F. Allen of College Park, Md., chairman of the federati the meeting being attended ficers and directors. Individual clubs allied with the federation have long been cn.mgngnlng for improved condi- tions in ince Georges County, par- ticularly along the Baltimore-Bladens- burg road. This work is being done generally under the direction o( the Welfare Committee, of which Mrs. Wade Sheriff is chairman. From a general discussion of the sit- uation, the officers of the federation ap- peared to be just as interested in elim- inating billboards and roadside “dumps” that appear on many of the principal entrances to Washington within the District line. Conditions Are Stressed. Conditions at the District line on the Bladensburg road were particularly stressed. The fact that the General Outdoor Advertising Co. has started removing its billboards from the immediate vl- cinity of the Memorial Peace Cross in Bladensburg occasioned favorable com- ment from many residents of that com- munity.
