Test Defense Machinery Washington, Sept. 12. — The na- tion's defense machinery intended for actual use only in the event of & war emergency, was given its first test today accompanied by patriotic demonstrations throughout the Unit- ed States and its possessions. It was a limited test, the actual expansion plans of the war department being designed to cover a period of months but dealing only with the question of personnel and not with supply, equipment, housing or training, the progressive stages were consolidated into this one duy. The day's program called for a trial of the decentralized defense machinery set up since the national defense act of 1920 was substituted for the pre-war system. Demon- stration of the success of the new scheme of defense, will signalize the separation from the military estab. lishment, at least so far as active service is involved of General John Pershing, who has devoted his time since 1918 to perfecting it. When the defense day tests me- tually got under way it was apparent to the war department officials, after studying reports from outlying commands, that their hopes had been entirely justified by the re- sponse throughout the country of men who for the day had reported for “duty” to the corps area com- manders and in the more local dis- iricts to the committees set up to (Continued on Fifth Page) Dedicate Hawley Statue At Stratford Exercises Bridgeport, Sept. 12.—Scores of members of the Soclety of Hawley famlly, incorporated, participated today in the annual session and the nnveiling and dedication of a tablet to the memory of Joseph Hawley, ploneering ancastor of the group, at Stratford Congregational cemetery, President Raymond Hawley led the processional in the cemetery where 8.

Early in the summer, -he degided that he would visit Europe working his way as much as possible. The last week of June, he left New Britain for Bos- ton where he attempted to secure work on a steamer. Not successful he went to Montreal, Canada, where he secured employment on a freight- er. After spending a short time in England, he worked his way across the English channel and went to Paris. From Paris, Hogaboom's means of travel was a bicycle. Whenever he had to take a train on which he could not tuke his bicycle he would sell ‘it and later op buy an- other. While in France, he visited the battle fields and other points of interest. From France, he went to Belgium from where he made his way into Germany one night, being ing able to travel faster on one of his bicycles than the guard on the border was able to run. After spending over two months in Europe at comparatively small cost he returned home on a steamer on which he served as assistant steward.

By 'nxt Assoclated Press. Garden City, N. Y. Sept. 12— Amgrican golfers were ahead of their British opponents today in Walker cup matches interrupted for lunch. One match was squarc after the eigh- teenth hole. Max R, Marston of Philadelphia and Robert A, Gardner of Chicago were one up after playing 18 holes today with their British opponents in the 36-hole Walker cup matches, W. A. Murray and E, F. Storey. Francis Ouimet and Jesse Guil- ford of Boston went to lunch one up on Cyril Toltey and Major Robert 0. Heflets Robert Jones of Atlanta and W. C. TFownes of Pittsburgh left the 18th green three up in their match with the Hon. Michael Scott and Robert Scott, Jr. Jess Sweetser of New York and Harrison Johnston of St. Paul were all even with T. A, Torrance and O. C. Bristowe after the morning round. Gallery With Long Hitters, The gallery was largely with the heavy hitters of the two teams, Tol- ley and Guilford. Honors were about even in length from the tee, Guilford starting with the longer shots and Tolley finishing up with the greater length. Outmet and Gutiford had a lead of three up at the tenth, but the British began to show tne results of their practice in chipping and putting. They came from behind by good short mashie approaches and putts. All four made excellent recoveries from traps. The Americans played the round in 74, one over par, to 75 for the British. Ouimet got a long putt at were the The cards: Guilford and Ouimet— Out ... 434 444 45436 Tolley and Hezlet— Out 583 445 554—38 Guilford and Ouimet— In ...... 444 644 462—38—T4 Tolley and Hezlgt— In ...... 533 544 653—37—75 This/match was scheduled to start | first, but Guilford could not find his shoes and had to walit till a new pair was purchased.

The charge of criminal negligence against Joseph Etanlonis, 17, of 23 Horace strect, on which he has been held under $1,000 bhonds since September 7, was nolled by Judge Benjamin W. Alling in police court | this morning upon recommendation of Prosecutor Joseph G. Woods. The prosecutor informed the court that a thorough investigation of the case had been made by the po- lice, and nothing was found that would warrant holding the defend- ant further on the charge. Stanlonis was placed under ar- rest by Policeman Patrick O'Mara after the death of Willlam Scaringe, 11, of 214 Arch street, at the New Britain General hospital Sunday night. The Scaringe boy was fatal- ly injured when he was struck by a taxicab driven by Stanlonis on Arch street shortly after noon, September 6. ' The case has been referred to the state department of motor vehicles by the local police, and it is be- lleved that department will take some action against Slanlonis for swearing to a false statement on his application for an operator's license, Stanlonis is only 17 years old, below the age required for the {ssuance of an operator's license, and he is alleged to have represent- ed himself as 19 on his application for his license. PERSHING RETIRING “FROM ACTIVE SERVICE General Announcement to Be Made to Army—Let- ter From Pres. Expected Washington, Sept. 12. — General Pershing will be retired from ac- tive service tonight at mfdnight by orders issued and signed personally by President Coolidge, as comman- dersn-chief of the army and navy of the United States. The order, issued only in cases of retirement’ of military officers who held the rank of ‘full general, will take the form of a general an- nouncement to the army that Gen-| eral Pershing has passed-to the re- tired Hst. It is probable that the order will be accompanied by a personal let- | ter from President Coolidge re-| counting the general’s services to the nation. Hundreds of reserve officers, many in uniform, for the first time | since they were mustered out of the service, took the opportunity to bid | farewell to General Pershing. A former cabinet officer and two | Eplscopal bishops were in the line at the turn as the result of going to the turn in 39 to 41 for the un- related Bcott namesakes. The Amer- icans cams home in 41 for a total of 80, never having been behind. The heavy “hitting of the youthful former American open champion supplemented the steadiness of the veteran former amateur champion, Fownes, around the greens, although neither pair exhibited the good golf | of the Tolley-Guilford match., The cards: Jones and Fownes— Out 444 544 564—39 Scott and Scott— Out 446 45 Jones and Fownes— In 454 644 553—41—80 Scott and Scott— In 454 b44—41 55 454—42—83 At the eighteenth, a short water hole, Bobhy's tee shot was 40 feet to one side of the pin in the rough, | but his partner chipped up dead, and the Americans won the hole in three when the British took three | putts. Jess Sweetser, former amateur champion, was the heaviest hitter of | the quartet he played with, and his driving, sometimes into the rough, found a good complement in the short game of Thelestern, amateur champlon. Tn this match incidental- ly, the British were ahead at one time for the only occasion during the morning rounds of the four matches.; That was after Torrance and Bristow played sixteenth hole in a par four. Sweetser promptly held square the match at the sev- enteeth by laying up a chip dead for a birdle four. At the home green Bristow fust missed a long putt for a birdle two which would have put him and Torrance in the lead again. A stymie figured in the winning of one hole for the Ameri- cans, Johnston laying one that Bris- tow could not negotiate at the tepth. The Americans picked up at one hole | for an approximated seven ‘after | they had floundered about in rough and traps.

A delegation of the townspeople was said at Lungwha to have waited on the Chekiang commander, pe- titioning him not to use artillery in capturing Thing and assuring him that the town was only waiting to welcome the Chekiang army. Drenching rains, a cessation of fighting in flooded flelds west of here, movement of reinforcements to the fighting fronts and reports indicating that the warring fac- tions battiing for possession of Shanghai would renew hostitlities with greater vigor when the storm passes—these were overnight de- velopment in the war between rival military governors. Fierce Fighting On the basis of the number of wounded being returned from the | front, the fiercest fighting yesterday | occurred at Thing, about 100 miles southwest of Bhanghai, where the defending forces of Lu Yung-Hsiang are attempting to capture the town to make a rear attack on the in- Vading forces from the line of the Shanghai-Nanking railway.

Thoms for governor. There is much Thoms sentiment in New Britain democratic ranks. Next to the Waterbury attorney, it is helieved that Mayor Phillips of Stamford, a close personal friend of Mayor A. M. Paonessa, stands a chance of receiving support from this city. Judge Thoms is a native of this city, but has for many years lived in Waterbury, which city he has served in many public offices of the general government and the courts.

In what they were told would be their last interview with newspaper men, the slayers of young Robert Franks declared they had been told not to talk, said they were glad their contact with reporters was over and smilingly backed out of the presence of the press, Wearing the blue denim prison jackets and trousers and with heads closely cropped, the youths presented little of the natty appearance af= fected in the Cook county jail, when brought before the newspjaper men. ‘Warden John L.

We would be glad to ialk if we could, but we can't." The newspaper men seeing the fruitiessness of further effort, gave up their task hefore the five minytes were up, and the boys, stil smiling, withdrew from the room and were | ordered smartly by the guard to take the vyard where only prisoners walk, They were returned to “solitary”. ; Tomorrow they will go to work.
