Mrs. John Hay Whitney's Bon Diable, the most versatile hunter in her extensive string, won the grand champlonship of the National Capital Horse Show at Bradley Farms yester- day afternoon as the exhibition came to a close before 8,500 spectators. The Spring fever that seized most of the crowd at this picturesque plant evidently did not touch Bon Diable at any stage of the game yesterday, for the handsome gray snared the $500 hunter stake with a beautiful performance, was second in the ladies’ hupter class and joined his stable- mates, Two Leggins and Gray Knight, in winning the hunt team division, bitterly contested by five other com- binations. ‘Throughout the three days Bon Diable had been foremost in the salient attack which earned the mis- tress of Llangollen Farm 23 ribbons, 11 of them blues. He also had de- feated all comers in the thoroughbred hunter test and the class for qualified or green middle and heavyweight horses. For good measure he carried off second in the Corinthian, second among the model hunters and fourth in the hunter hacks. Whitney Horses Make Sweep. The Whitney horses made a clean sweep of the championship awards here. Bon Diable was the best middle or. heavyweight hunter, with Kin- prillis reserve, and Two Leggins and Cypress dea Beau were rated in that order among the top lightweights. Victory in the important hunt teams was certainly no novelty for Mrs. Whitney. She has won that vivid pageant of the tanbark at every Na- tional Capital since she first began to show her horses around this cir- cuit. The powerful trio likewise has served her well in significant shows all over the country. Second to Don Diable's stake tri- umph was Mrs. R. Curzon Hoffman's Allston, the sensation of the early days. Allston was in rare form again this afternoon, fencing beautifully to cinch the $100 second price. Miss Helen Bedford, daughter of & noted Connecticut sporting family, showed the way to youngsters, griz- iTHE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MAY 12, 1935—PART ONE. Grand Champion in Action CHAVEZ ACCEPTS CUTTING'S SEAT New Mexico Appointee Was Beaten by Late Senator Last Fall by 1,200. By the Associated Press. BANTA FE, N. Mex, May 11.—An ardent champion of Roosevelt policies, Dennis Chavez, who served in two Democratic Houses, was lifted today into the Senate seat of his political enemy, the late Senator Bronson Cut- ting, independent Republican and occasional critic of the administra- tion. Chaves, 47 years old, accepted an appointment tendered by Gov. Clyde Tingley to fill the vacant Senate chair until 1936 and announced he will drop his contest of the election of Cutting, against whom he ran last November. He had disputed the 1,200-vote majority for Cutting. To Run in 1936. In 1936, Chavez said, he will be a candidate to fill the remainer of Cut- ting’s term, which expires in 1940. The Governor, running mate with Chavez on the Democratic ticket in the last election, said Chavez was “a natural selection” to flll the vacancy caused by Senator Cutting's death in an airplane accident last week. The new Senator will give the Democrats 69 seats in the Senate, five more than two-thirds of the en- tire membership, and will reduce Re- publican membership to 24, its lowest in more than 50 years. Thought Bonus Advocate. Bonus advocates claimed the ap-| pointment added one more vote to their list of those who will vote to override the President’s contemplated veto of the Patman bill even though the Governor described his appointee as “whole-heartedly a supporter of President Roosevelt’s program.” Chavez is an ardent supporter of the New Deal policies and says, with | pride, that he has the viewpoint of the “average man.” GROCERY CLERK AT 14.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., May 11—Chase Mellen, jr, New York County Republican Committee chair- man, in a speech prepared for de- ivery at a G. O. P. meeting tonight called on President Roosevelt to aban- don his “sophomore experimentation and Barnum and Balley press- agentry,” and return to the 1932 Dem= ocratic platform upon which he was elected. “We have had enough chapters from ‘Alice in Wonderland’ translated by the Roosevelt administration into a burlesque of orderly Government.” he said. “We have had about all we can stand of ‘Roosevelt charm,’ fire- side talks and ‘prop’ smiles.” Mellen was the principal speaker at a meeting of Young Republican Clubs of Eastern New York, gathered to map the strategy of the G. O. P. campaign to regain control of the New York \ssembly this Fall. ‘The youthful New Yorker, who has beexix malrdng a tour of the State ap- pealing for solidification of Repub- LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 11 ().— | Jican party opinion, termed the P?ed- Charles Crosnoe, convicted arsonist, | dent “the greatest lobbyist of all precipitated a sweeping investigation | kno;n l*’t'::&m‘;i AR e | “He al S s aims in levious f”d‘y ino activitles of an alleged | oyue po asserted. “First, he turns arson ring at Hope by filing list of | on” the charm tap.
