;. A4 %% THE EVENING STAR., WASHINCTON, D. C. _— | REDS TEARFLAG OFF BRENEN BOW 2,000 Communists Battle“ ‘375 Police as German | Liner Prepares to Sail. ! | By the Associated Press NEW YORK, July 27.—Communists tipped the German flag. with Nazi swastika superimposed. from the bow | of the liner Bremen today, hurled it | into the swirling Hudson. and pre- cipitated a bruising fight between nearly 2,000 of their own number and 875 policemen One man was shot, two policemen were severly injured. scores of other participants in the battle were cut end bruised Excepting skirmishes on the bow of the liner and in the tourist class sec- tion. most of the fighting took place 4n the street in front of the pier from which the boat sailed a half hour late at 12:30 am Demand Releases. The Communists later choked the street in front of the West Forty- seventh Street Police Station, where they demanded release cf their fel- lows arrested in the earlier fighting. and brought on a second pitched bat- tle in which ordinary citizens. awak- ened from their slumbers, joined the police. Buckets of water were poured {rom upstairs windows as the Communists chanted: “Free the arrested seamen!™ Household articles and other missles were hurled into the street. Reserved policemen, summoned from their beds charged with nightsticks and black- Jjacks. The Communists sought the &helter of doorways. The Communists were massed on the river front between West Forty- fourth street and West Forty-sixth #treet a half hour before the Bremen was scheduled to sail. They sang the *Internationale” and shouted “Down with Hitler” and “free Thaelman.” Ernest Thaelman is the leader of the German Communist party and was formerly A member of the Reich- &tag. He has been imprisoned in Ger- many for two years In the street 150 uniformed pa- trolmen. 100 detectives ard 25 mount- ed policemen tried to maintain order and see that only persons with proper credentials boarded the liner. Flag Run Up Again. Either the flag that had been hauled down was retrieved or another one was later run up on the bow of the Bremen with elaborate ceremony and many salutes, and songs in praise of *Der Fuehrer.” From the street jeers drifted up and fighting went on ! Among the liner’s 1.300 passengers | were Elissi Landi, motion picture | actress: Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, new United States Minister to Nor- way, and many others. Gov. George | H. Earle of Pennsylvania, appearing to say farewell to Biddle, had diffi- culty getting through the police lines. Four of the prisoners arrested on the ship appeared in police line-up to- day to give varied accounts of their activities and reasons for their pres- ence on the boat All were charged with felonious as- #ault. but denied having had a part in the riot The quartet was composed of George Blackwell. 24, a printer; William E.| Howe, 27. marine oiler; William Bailey, | 25, marine fireman, and William Mc- Cormack. 28, a seaman, who said he came to New York from Buffalo three weeks ago. | Snow Houses Scarce.

ASHER, well known golfer of the Columbia Coun- try Club. and a former presi- dent of that big golf organiza- tion, holds the Washington record for holes in one. He has scored five aces during his comparatively brief career on the links. Several years ago he entered into a compact with Roger Whiteford and Sherman Ford. by which each of the trio was to pay $100 for each hole scored in one Asher went on a vacation trip into New England. Playing two courses in Massachusetts and New Hampshire on successive days, he scored an ace on each. He sent telegrams, collect, to his two golfing pals. By the time the second wire arrived ! golf had become too expensive. They called off the deal. REASON. The Sansevieria Zelanica. or desert plant, which is seen in so many homes these days. is knouwn in France as Mother-in-law’s Tongue, because the slender, point- ed leaves grow longer and sharper as the years go by ox BULWARKS FOR FAME IG names too often overshadow the personalities responsible for their fame. For example, evervbody knows Daniel Chester French’s name is carved on the base of the Lincoin statue in the memorial. Everybody, too, knows that Robert Aitken did the | pediment for the west portico of the | new Supreme Court Building. wherein | one may see the faces of such notables as Chief Justice Hughes. Howard Taft, John Marshall (as & boy), Architect Cass Gilbert, and Sculptor Aitken himself. As a matter of truth, however, the actual labor of chipping the marble, flake by flake, which brought those two works of frozen art into life was done by hands other than French and Aitken. The hammers and chisels of | the six Piccirilli brothers, members of | an Italian dynasty of masters in mar- ble, are responsible. They did both | works in their big rambling studio- | factory in the Bronx, New York. Xk NOT LIKE HOME. Unless the visitor is prepared for it, the interior of the gem-like Japanese Embassy on Massachu- setts avenue is something of a shock. The furnishings presen? a strange contrast with the customs of the country. where practically no furniture exists. In the dainty | rooms are huge pieces of modern | furniture—massive desks, large | leather armchairs.

A mazimum penalty of $10 fine is prescribed for the offense. . PUT INTO SERVICE SILENT STREET CAR Wheels Containing Rubber Regiured New Kind of Brakes. ‘The day when Washington street car riders can carry on a normal- voice conversation, even while travel- | ing over the roughest track or the bumplest intersection, appears to be near at hand. After a trial run over one of the roughest stretches of track in Wash- ington, the Capital Transit Co. yes- terday put Into service one 8t the new silent street cars—the nearest ap- proach to nolseless railway transit service yet developed. | ‘The new car, built exactly the same as the streamlined cars now in opera- tion, is equipped with wheels which contain & rubber insulation between the inner and outer rims. The rub- ber, a type developed after many | vears' experimentation, is about one- half inch thick, and is designed to prevent the noise of the wheel on the track from coming up into the car. The insulation also prevents vibration in the floor of the car. New Brakes Developed.” Development of these “silencers” necessitated the development of a dif- ferent system of brakes, because the air brakes generated too much heat, which in time would harden the rub- ber and ‘make it use®ss. The new car is stopped by an electric brake. ‘The change was brought about by changing the four 50-horsepower ‘The current generated is sent through a iarge re- sistance coil and the heat goes off into the air instead of into the wheels. This electric brake will work even though the plow has been “pulied” or the trolley is off the wire. It is g0 developed that even if the dynamic brake fails, the air brakes automati- cally will come into operation with full force. All the new cars are equipped with an additional brake, a track “shoe” which works electrically and makes the slow, gentle stop possible. These are not connected with the wheels, but work separately as the air brakes are tion of the operation of the new car would make it appear to be complicated. But just to show how simple it is, R. H. Dalgleish, chief en- gineer of the Capital Transit Co., allowed a reporter for The Star to operate the new silent car a short distance on its trial run No Flat Wheels Yet. 1 Dalgleish revealed that the eight modern cars, which have been in op- eration for several weeks. have trav- elled a total of 48,000 miles and not a single “flat” wheel has been re- ported. The cars are so constructed that the new silent wheels and dy- namic brakes can be substituted at | any time. DEFINITION CHANGE RO YAL JOHNSON. fornler Congress- man from South Dakota. who served 18 years in Congress and then resigned, once edited The Highmore Herald, his dad’s paper. After hearing that a former conferee was thrown over a fence by a bull, Mr. Johnson yesterday gave a new definition of news “When & Congressman throws the bull,” said Mr. Johnson. “that is not news—but when a bull throws a Congressman that is news.” The trial run was made from the car barn at 3222 M street to Seven- teenth street and Pennsylvama ave- nue southeast. The Southeast track- age is about as rough as any in the city, officials said. Over the bumpiest places. the noise was scarcely audibie Over intersections the noise was cut down immensely. The new cars were built by the J G. Brill Co. of Philadelphia, but the electric brake was developed by the Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Co. B. O. Austin, who had & great deal to do with development of the | dynamic brake, was along on the trial run today All officials expressed great satisfaction. | TRIPLETS ENLISTED FOR PUN-LOVERS ONLY. UNNERY finds its way into the odd- est places. A friend of ours got to talking the | other day about the old S. S. George ‘Washington, now tied up and rusting away at Solomons Island. The George Washington was taking President Woodrow Wilson to France during the World War. There was another boat carrying a young army of newspaper correspondents, among them Jimmie | Montague of the New York Times. President Wilson was noted for one | expression: “May 1 not?” this and “May I not?” that. As the President’s ship drew along- | side the news boat and then passed | it. Montague was heard to remark, according to our friend: “There goes Wilson, on the George | ‘Washington, making 24 may-I-knots ! an hour.” 'SPEEDING LAID TO STORK | The birth of a daughter resulted in! the dismissal on personal bond of | |Lioyd Boney. 204 Fourth mm! | northeast. when he was arraigned on | | a speeding charge before Judge Gus | A Schuldt in Traffic Court yesterday. | | Boney entered a plea of guilty| | when arraigned, and then informed | | the court he was rushing to the hos- | | pital after having just received a tel-| ephone call, informing him of the 1birm of the child. ‘ The Foening Hfar e el i IN NAVAL RESERVE Triplets have just been enlisted in the Naval Reserve in Michigan, the Navy Department announced yester- day.
