A—2 xx xx TRBUTEISGVEN | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, JUNE DERBY CAPTURED PRESIDENT BACK Washington Godmothers at COLORED SCHOOLS 10 VAN DEVANTER Court in Recess, Successor to Retiring Member Is Chief Topic. BY JOHN H. CLINE. Having completed one of the most significant sessions in history, the jus- tices of the Supreme Court today were preparing to begin their Summer recess while Capitol speculation turned to the successor to Associate Justice Van Devanter, whose retirement now becomes effective. Apparently far for the | nomination to the high bench is Sen- | ftor Robinson, majority leader. | Should President Roosevelt send up | his name there is no doubt that the Senate would confirm the nomination. As Justice Van Devanter left the bench he was given the following message signed by Chief Justice Hughes and Associate Justices Mc- Reynolds, Brandeis, Sutherland, But- ler, Stone, Roberts and Cardozo: “Dear Justice Van Devanter: “Your decision to avail yourself of the rights and privileges specified in the recent retirement act gives us a poignant sense of regret at the loss of the close association it has been for so many | in front our privilege Your temperament and indus- exact knowledge of prece- | dents and ice and your precision | of statement have enabled you to | render an invaluable service in our conferences, and your labors have en- tered into the very warp and woof of | the jurisprudence of the court. You will ca into your retirement the assurance of our high esteem and warm affection, and we trust that you | will have many years of continued | vigor. We shall greatly miss your | wise counsel and delightful compan- fonship. to enjoy vears try, vour Replies to Letter. In response Justice Van Devanter wrote the following note: “My Dear Brethren: am grateful for your words of esteem and affection. Inti- mate association with you in the work of the court has been to me both enjoyable and inspiring. and I shall carry into my retirement happy mem- ories of that association, together with profound respect and true af- fection for each and all of you.” In its mos generous legality of P.

Taft, son of the late Chief Justice Taft, had contended the Government should pay off the bond in gold or should be prohibited from calling it before maturity. He had lost in the Court of Claims. Statistics compiled by C. Elmore Cropley, clerk of the court, showed there were 1,052 cases on the docket during the term and that 942 were disposed of, leaving 110 for action at the next term. Included were a variety of motions and petitions, as well as seven cases that had been argued and submitted. Congress in Brief TODAY, Senate: In recess.

T IS more apparent today than ever that personal, business and family relationships will be no end improved when that motion picture, “None of Your Business,” finally gets out of town. Maybe you will recall that the box office girls got under the skins of quite a number of customers when it played F street. We had an item then about how the customers would call, ask what the feature was, be told it was “None of Your Business,” and hang up in a huff, Now it turns out that Angela Ad- ams, the pleasant and pretty young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Adams, got caught in the same trap. “What did you see?” the parents asked when Angela came home from the movies the other night. “None of' Your Business” Angela angelically. Of course, it was all straightened out, as those things always are, but Hollywood really should be more care- ful about its titles. * % X X STREET SCENE. Nothing is safe in this world any more, not cven the newspaper you happen to be reading. That is the way Henrictta Morgan feels about our times at any rate. She was standing at the curb the other morning, waiting for the bus. To fill in the interval she read her morning paper. Of a sudden, a dark shadow appeared between her and the sun, the paper was snatched out of her hands and she looked up to sce a car full of men scooting off down the street. She still is trying to figure out whether it was a friend, a practical joker, or a petty thief. * % % x “W.P.

The maid answered, stating that Griffin was very busy. “Well,” said Mrs. Keyes, “I was just wondering whether the party was over or whether I could still come.” At these words, the maid became voluble. | “Oh, ma’am.” she said, “I have Jes® finished washin’ all the dishes.

Delia looked at her mistress severely. “Big nights,” she said sternly, “mak-s little days.” * % ¥ X EXPERTS. F YOU want the best possible tips on the best possible places to eat in Washington, the best possible place to find these is at the big downtown water-front market. All the market men and dealers know the inside secrets of the gastro- nomic parlors. Moreover these ex- ecutives are the most fussy, particular patrons who ever sally forth on maid's night out. If you see one of them occupying a table at the restaurant of your fancy, you may breathe easily and preen yourself with satisfaction. The men who handle meat, poultry, fruit, vegetables and extras and who know what's what not only in onions but in beefsteaks—would be any cafe owner's best advertisement could he lure them within his doors. However, it would be hopeless for one to attempt to glean information as a stranger asking questions on the water front. So close-mouthed are the gentlemen of the market that they make Col. Charles Lindbergh appear loquacious by contrast. 38,000 Stamps in 14 Years. Alfred W.

Miller's Mid-Day Sun, lightly regarded at 100 to 7, led home 20 ranking 3-year-olds, including Wil- liam Woodward's favored American- bred Perifox, in the 158th Derby today. With the King and Queen and a multitude of their subjects, variously estimated from 250,000 to 500,000, jamming every inch of the historic Downs, Mid-Day Sun drove home a length and a half in front of Mrs, F, Nagle's Sandsprite, A like distance back trailed Le Grand Duc, carrying the silks of the Aga Khan, thrice win- ner of England's most famous flat race.

Eley's Winnebar, his first Derby winner after 16 fail ures, did a fine job of rating Mid-Day Sun, an offspring of Solario, which won the St. Leger in 1925 and the As- | cot Gold Cup the year following. He did not appear among the contenders until the final straightaway of 3 fur- longs. Responding gamely to Beary's urg- rivals and then held off the belated challenges of Sandsprite, a 100-to-1 shot, which came up from next to last place in the final mile. Le Grand Duc, held at 100 to 9, raised the hopes of his supporters as he pulled abreast | the leaders about two furlongs from home. however, and was driving at the end to hold Perifox safe.

Perifox was the next to weaken while Jack Crouch, the King's jockey, | brought Sandsprite, up like a streak of lightning on the outside. Although finishing strongly, Sandsprite did not have enough left to catch stepping Mid-Day Sun. The bookmakers not only profited by Mid-Day Sun's victory, but the tote set a new record for England.

BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Returning to the White House today, President Roosevelt invited three of his leading diplomatic advisors to a luncheon conference for a general discussion of the European situation. Secretary of State Hull, Under- secretary Sumner Welles and Norman H. Davis, ambassador at large to Europe, were asked to call soon after the President returned from a three- day visit to his Hyde Park, N. Y., estate. Mr. Roosevelt also devoted con- siderable time to putting finishing touches on the special message on conservation which he hopes to trans- mit to Congress tomorrow. White House officials said the lunch- eon conference would touch on the general situation abroad, including all angles of the incident stirred by the bombing of the German battle- ship Deutschland and the bombard- ment of the Spanish port of Almeria.

In his conservation message, it is ex- pected, the President will recommend legislatior. to put into effect a na- tional planning program which will set up a series of regional authorities similar to the Tennessee Valley experi- | ment, but considerably widened in ! scope, 50 as to embrace many new con- | servation features. He had hoped to complete the mes- sage in time to send it to the Capitol today, but at noon he said it would | not be ready before tomorrow. The | message will be 1,700 words in length. | Mr. Roosevelt looked rested and | physically fit as he alighted from hi special train at Union Station at 8:35 am. There were no members of his family or administration associates on hand to greet him, and he motored directly to the White House.

Mrs. Roose- | velt said she believed “if many chil- dren years ago had received proper care they would not today be cripples | and inmates of insane asylum: “We should be constantly trying to find new ideas, but not new fads,” she | declared. “We should be interested only in information from accredited sources. “We here have every opportunity, situated as we are, to learn what we | want to. But that is not the case in | many sections of the country I have visited. We are only starting in this | work. There is much more to do and I hope it will be continued.” The program, held in the Washing- ton-Lee High School, was opened with the invocation by Rev. G. G. Oliver and followed by selections by the school glee club under the direction of Miss Florence Booker. County Manager Frank C. Hanrahan wel- comed Mrs. Roosevelt, and Mrs. Wil- liam N. Doak, widow of the former Secretary of Labor, made the intro- ductory talk. Dr. Grace Langdon was another speaker on the program. Little Faith Japhet, daughter of Mrs. Viola G. Japhet, executive secre- ! tary of the nurses’ group, presented 8 bouquet of roses to Mrs. Roosevelt at the conclusion of her talk. The meeting launched the member- { ship drive of the newly-formed organi- zation. The drive will be climaxed with a tag day Saturday. KREISLER IN TAX FIGHT Fritz Kreisler, violinist, is engaged in a controversy with the Govern- ment over income taxes. The Government has sought to as- sess him $130,311 for alleged defi- ciencies in taxes from 1931 through 1933. Kreisler contended the Govern- ment erred. Robert H. Jackson, in- ternal revenue counsel, filed a brief yesterday denying any error. they said, they are not so sure about saving all of it. They just didn’t know what they would do. Bishop's ticket won $150,000, but he said he sold half of it in New York yesterday for $5,800. The 50-year-old bookkeeper stayed home from work to hear the race over the radio. When his horse won, his only immediate comment was “well.” ‘Then he got up, smiled, and said, still calmly: I guess I'll go to work now.” But he hung around and a little later, asked if he really was going to work, he replied: “What lz?

And then suddenly through a haze we sighted the beautiful shore line of Puerto Rico. That was at 13:40 pm. [} Hop Today, but Will Carapito, Venezuela.
