ARMY AIRMEN
BOMB ALABAMA

Norfolk, Va, Sept. 25.-The old
sbattleship Alabama, target, of the
army airmen in bombing tests off
Tangier's island in Chesapeake bay
is afire in the hold and the heat is
sss ana 6rss 50 tsfirt nrsnnff~4t
that observers were unable to go
aboard today to register the effect of
bombs dropped yesterday.
When fire broke out today on the
old sea warrior mine sweepers made
fast to the hulk and fought the fire
back into the holds where it was not
believed it would accomplish much ad-
ditional damage.
One of the last bombs dropped just
at dusk last night severed the anchor
chain of the Alabama and no night
bombing was held last night, al
thoug h squadron of planes was due to
go out at midnight to drop high ex-
plosive bombs.
There was no bombing and the air
men were given rest until tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock when 16 or 20
planes will take the air with LOO
and 1000 pound bombs. 1t is possi-
BILE that these airmen will sink their
target tomorrow, although it is not
intended that they shall, as there still
remains another day of the operations.
The last days tests are to begin at 2
o'clock Tuesday morning, with heavy
bombs and the fliers will go up with
instructions to send the old vessel to
the bottom.
Army officials in charge of the tests
have been unable to give very ac-
curate report of the condition of the
Alabama, although she is badly bat
tered.
Two airmen in a Lamont bomber
were forced to make landing in the
York river yesterday on account of
engine trouble, but they were rescued
by fishermen in small boats.
Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, assist
ant chief of the army air service, is
expected to arrive from Washington
tomorrow morning.

CHICAGO POLICE
FACING INQUIRY

Chicago, SEPT. 25.-fredaral officials
today had started an exhaustive in.
vestigation Of the Chicago police de-
partment as result Of an appeal last
night by Charles Fitzmorris, chief of
police, who declared that, in his be-
ief "haf Of the city's 5000 police
were bootleggers, plying their illic' 4
liquor operations much more indus2
triously than they watched over thess
city"
Federal indictment Of at least seyenI
members Of the force, four Of then
commanders, may be expected within,
a day or two, Charles Clyne, Uniteas
States district attorney, said tonight
n a letter to Chief Fitzmorris, prom,
sing that every effort would be madet
% break up the alleged relationship
between liquor rings and the police
force.
In a statement tonight Chief Fitz-
morris declared that prohibition was
failure not only in Chicago. but in
every city of which he had knowl-
edge.
"In Chicago there is more drunk
enness than there ever was--more
deaths from liquor than before pro-
hibition-more of every evil attrib-
utable to the use Of liquor than in
the days before the so-called prohibi-
tion laws became effective" he de-
clared. Prohibition enforcement in
Chicago is joke"
"Chicago is like a dry farm need
ing water and the prohibition enforce
ment officers are as futile as any
group Of men would be who tried to
stop the rain and prevent the ground
from soaking up the moisture. The
only way to make prohibition an ac-
tuality here or any place else is to
stop liquor at its source"
The chiefs statement tonight also
charged that several city officials out
side the police department were impli-
Gated in the police booze ring and said
that preparations had been mad to
discharge half the force if that should
be necessary.

MILDRED HANAN
DIES sOF WOUNDS

New York, Sept. 25.-Miss Mildred
Hanan, daugnteHof the late Alfred P.
Hanan, shoe ma9ufacturer, died in the
Long Island Collage hospital early to-
day without having advanced any ex-
planation as toswhy she had been shot
Friday mornink by her erstwhils
chum, Mrs. Gfacs Lawes, who later
committed suicide. ..---
. John s. Borlapd importer and Dart
mouth college Eraduate, who was in
her company when the shooting took
place outside tie apartment of mu-
tual friend on Schermerhorn street,
was at her fdside when the end
came at a o'clHk this morning. Mrs.
Clara M. Hanap her mother, and sew
eral other relaEses also were present,
but the girl, who had lapsed into un-
consciousness shortly after midnight,
did not recognize any Of them.
An autopsy performed by DR.. Carl
Boetiger, ASSISTANT medical examiner.
showed that a}bnllet pierced the tho
rax and the abdomen and lodged un-
der the ninth nib on the right side. A
blood TRANSMISSION, made Friday SEEM
ed TO give the girl additional strength
but relapse set in Saturday evening.
The real motive for the shooting may
never be publicly known. Police ex-
pressed the theory that jealousy was
a. contributing factor, but they were
unable to determine whether this was
because Of Bofland or because of sew
erance of MRS Lawes' friendly rela-
tions with Miss iHanan. Borland told
police that, he believed Mrs. Lawes
was dricen I'd the act as a result of
having lost TIE Friendship and finan-
cial assistance 81 Miss Hanan. He ex-
pressed the belief that this was fol-
lowed by excessive drinking which
Mrs. Lawes admitted in letter to her
sister in San Francisco, found among
her possessions after her death.
Mrs. Lawes aad lived with the Han
ans until about 1.-TWO weeks ago when a
quarrel between her and Mildred at
Shorham, +. l., resulted in Mrs.
Lawes' taking rooms at hotel not
far from the fHanan home on Park
avenue. Onthe evening preceding the
shooting Miss Dorothy Gottschalk, a
friend, had dned with Miss Hanan

DAY
OBSERVED SUNDAY

~
Promotion Day was observed by the
Sunday school and church of rhe First
Baptist church yesterday.
At the Sunday school hour the chill
dren rendered very interesting pro-
gram conducted by the different de-
partmental superintendent. Certifi-
Gates were delivered the children who
were promoted from one to another
department, and also to those who
were promoted from one to another
class within the department. The ex.
ercises were held in the church audi
torium where the entire Sunday
school gathered for the exercises. The
school thus. assembled gave con-
ception of the growth of the work that
many of the members of the church
had not realized.
At the II O'Clock hour the pastor.
DR.. E. S, Reayes, spoke on the Moral
Dignity of the Sunday School. He
emphasized the, fact that Jesus was
a teacher and had commanded His
followers to follow His example. He
gave brief outline of the develop
ment of the Sunday school movement
and said the moral dignity of the
Sunday school may be realized from
the following considerations:
q 1. The Sunday school has been a
mighty; force for stimulating the
study of the Bible,
8 2. It has been force for evangel-
fizing, and bringing lost sinners to
Christ. ~
: 8. 1T has been a force for the max
ing of Christian, character.
a. 1t has been "a force instructing
and making sentiment concerning the
mightiest things Of the kingdom, such
as missions, temperance reform.
,If the Sunday school stands for all
this then it is worthy of our best
supp0rt as individuals and in an or j.
ganized ,capacity as church.
The speaker emphasized that in
That particular church the work was
hampered for lack of room. He said
we have several classes with no place
to put them. For several months sew
eral classes have been meeting in
the high school building. Our Sunday
school has. about reached it's capacity
until we make better proyision for
1t. To dwarf the Sunday sch6o 6ofs1ew
is to dwarf the church in me coming
years. These things being true, ought
not we t.. undertake the enlargement
necessnry> at this time. 80 s.
y me spesKcr then called upon mems
bers Of the congregation to express
an opinion upon this question and a
committee was appointed to look into
the situation and report to the church
the result of their investigation. Ev-
cry expression made in the meeting
was favorable to undertaking to build
larger quarters
