TOPS FIGHT OVER BABY

Conflict between federal and Mary
land state authorities, which may
lead to the federal courts at Balti-
more. hared up today near the little
town Of Waldorf. Nd, where Pro-
hibition Agents Hines and Rose were
out with warrants for the arrest of
Sheriff Simms of Charles county, who
was understood to have in his hands
a warrant for the arrest of the agents
who were after him.
The cris-cross fight turned around
an involved story Of a fathers love
for his little daughter. and the siez-
ure by prohibition agents Wednesday
morning of 1000 gallons Of liquor at
the home where the little girl lived
with her mother. Mrs. Myrtle Nc
Cawthorn.
Fears Being Mobbed.
Cal Robinson McCawthorn. the
father, who was seeking his daugh-
ter. is held at the first precinct sta
ton here under charges by the mother
that. during the liquor raid he at
tempted to assault her, and that he
drew pistol on her. He was arrested
here yesterday afternoon by Detec-
tives Kelly and Scrivener, and when
questioned at police headquarters by
Inspector Grant. McCawthorn said he
would not return to Maryland with
out a hearing on requisition.
I'm afraid to return there" he told
the inspector. Il fear 1 would be
mobbed."
The double-barreled search TODAY
by officials of the federal government
and Maryland for each other grows
out of the question of authority ut
the little home where the thousand
gallons were seized. On information
from McCawthorn the federal agents
seized the liquor. armed with a war
rant from Justice Robert E. Joyce of
Prince Georges county, and arrested
Mr.. McCawthorn for illegal posses
sion. They transported 800 gallons
of it back to Washington. They went
back to the house for the remainder
and. according to their story, the first
intimation they had that they were

West Virginia are getting their gait
and the near.at-home field promises
to supply backgrounds of as great
interest to Washington as Michigan,
Indiana. Ohio and states farther west.
The governorship fight in New York
promises to be attractive to Wash
ington readers. Already people around
town are eagerly asking, What will
New York do?" New York repub-
licans who have reports from home
are very confident of republican sue
cess, while democrats are trying to at
least look hopeful. Democrats were
somewhat downcast when tho New
York Times. a democratic journal of
influence, came out in an editorial
strongly commencing the republican
candidate for governor. Gov. Nathan
L. Miller, for reelection over the
democratic candidate, Alfred L. Smith.
Smith Would BE Handicapped.
The election Of Gov. Miller was
urged on the ground that both can
didates. being equally men of high
ability and personal character, Gov.
Miller could do more for the state
and the people because he would have
a republican legislature back of him,
while ii Mr.. Smith were elected he
would have a politically hostile leg
islature as q handicap to achieve
The appeal for the election Of Gov.
Miller was based upon business and
utilitarian grounds, and was regard
ed by politicians as notable es- x
and bounds and as an appeal to in
dependent spirit in the choosing of
public officers.
Smiths Hopes Aroused.
Candidate Alfred E. Smith is not
dismayed, however, and is going into
the campaign with vigor. He receiV-
ed formal notification of his nomina-
ton at the National Democratic Club'
in New York city, last night ana IN
his speech Of acceptance gave indi-
cation of the kind Of fight he will
make. He made it clear that ne

sailed Gov. Miller as a "reactionary,,,
and as working for "the interests.
contrasted with his own record as
governor. He said his only interests
had been the plain people. He de-
nounced Gov Miller as a "reac,
tionary" governor. Gov. Miller and
Mr., Smith will be on the stump con-
tinuously from now on.
In New Jersey, as soon as the state
conventions adjourned last Tuesday. the
democrats got their campaign under

Held Up by Fogs, Officers De-

SAN DIEGO. Calf. October 6.--All
aviation endurance records for heavier
than-air craft were smashed today by
Lieuts. John A. MacReady and Oakley
Kelly of the United States Army, who
at 80 o'clock had been aloft in their
monoplane T2 for twenty-siX hours and
thirty-four minutes. The previous
record was twenty-six hours, nineteen
minutes and thirty-five seconds.
When the aviators hoped off they
intended to attempt nonstop flight to
New York in twenty-six to thirty hours,
but heavy fogs over the first mountan in
ranges caused them to postpone the at
tempt. But the huge motor of the To
was working nicely. and they decided to
remain in the air for an endurance
test They spent the day and night
circling about the vicinity Of San Diego.
One Of the messages they dropped stated
that they would endeavor to cross the
continent at the next full moon-in
about a month.
VIII Descend Later.
The young officers aboard the T-2
planned to stay up until between 3
and pm. today. according to a note
they dropped yesterday. ~
Officers at Rockwell Field said that
when the great machine went into the
air at 5:o6 am. Pacific time, yester-
day its total weight was 10000 pounds
more than ever had been carried up
before by an aeronautical motor.
Excellent flying conditions of yes
terday and last night continued today
and at o'clock this morning the big
monoplane apparently was working
as smoothly as at the start of the
grind. Aviation officials at Rockwell
Field stated that they believed Mac
ready and Kelly have sufficient gaso-
line and oil to remain aloft another
sixteen hours and that they do not
believe the airmen will alight until
their supplies are exhausted
Started Yesterday Morning.
The fight began at 5:56 o'clock
(PacifiC time) yesterday morning,
when the pair started from Rock
well Field on what was intended to
be q nonstop flight from San Diego
to New York city. When they reached
Temecula. where they had planned to
cross the first range of mountains,
they ran into heavy cloud banks that
compelled their return to San Diego.
Because of the excellent start they
had made and the fact that the big
motor was working smoothly the
aviatorS decided to make an effort
to establish a new endurance record.

once occupied by that well. Could
the elemepts. at so late a day, be
weeping for the loved and lost?
Others suggested the presence of
strange currents overhead and still
other imaginations ran to even more
extreme lengths.
For three days the supposed rain
continued, and then it reached the
ears of a news-hunting reporter
When his information was conveyed
in all seriousness to the weather bu-
reau in Washington, however, there
were 1usty "haw-haws' had by all

Of the supposed phenomenon, how
ever, was one wise in the ways of ma
ture. The life Of the great outdoors
was stamped upon his very soul. He
looked once or twice. smiled and
turned away. To a friend he said:
"Why, that is just a sort of sap
from the tree. 1t Is nothing unusual
Outlines in the fall of the year the
sap runs too freely and finds its way
out Of the hundreds Of tiny points
at the end of twigs. Falling from
these, true enough 1t resembles rain
But you folks can put away your UNI
brellas now, because 1t isn't raining
rain here, it's raining sap"
And last night Alexandria again
slept soundly. Stories of celestial
curses. goblins and bloodcurdling
legends were put away with the um-
brellas.

APPROACHING RAIN .
TO SMASH DROUGHT
Weather Bureau Forecasts
Wet Weather All Over East
Tomorrow.

Prepare for rain tomorrow after
noon OF night!
As the weather bureau was today
for the country in general, "a radical
change, as regards future conditions"
took place in the west, with the re-
suit that rain is forecast in all Sec
tions east of the Mississippi river
within the next thirty-six or forty
eight hours.
The temperature will be slightly
lower here than it has been for the
past few days when the rain arrives,
the bureau said, and will remain
around normal. The rainy weather,
with a northeast wind, will keep the
thermometer at this level for several
days. it was predicted.
Rain in West and South.
There is rain in spots today in the
west and also SOUTH but that condi-
ton is not general, the bureau added
If the forecast of the bureau comes
true Washington will be dampened
tomorrow for the first time since
September IL. This will also hold true
in many sections of the country
where a consistent sun has preyed
upon the agricultural interests for
virtually the same length Of time.
Despite the extent and intensity Of
the drought, however, the damage to
crops has been exceedingly small,
agriculturists declare, because of the
harvest generally being practically
10 q q
been the retarding of winter wheat
sowing. Rural communities in wide
areas also have suffered from the dry
ing up Of streams, wells and reser-
voirs.
Fire Damage Enormous.
The menace of forest fires. already
causing huge damage and threaten
ing additional loss of life in Canada.
in addition to areas aggregating about
100 square miles now burning in
northern Minnesota, is by far the most
feared consequence Of the drought. It
has caused officials of the forest serv-
ice Of the Department Of Agriculture
to repeat warnings against lighting
fires in the woods. This is the time
of wear, 1t is declared when the sec
ond forest fire" period can be expect
ed, and, with continuance OF the
dry weather, the spread of Ares from
Maine along the Atlantic coast south
is feared.
while forest fires in the west also
have caused foresters considerable
trouble this year, showers have elm
mated most Of the danger there.
A summary available fror>govern-
ment records today of the five-year
period from 1915 to 1920 showed tim
Der and property destruction of more
than $S5,715,000, due to forest fires
that burned over an area of 56.50o,000
square miles, more than the area OF
the state of Utah.
Half the forest fires which occur in
early spring and late summer and
fall are preventable, officials pointed
out. In that period 9.S per cent Of
the fires were caused by lightning,
14.s per cent by sparks from locomo-
, tives, 6.2 per cent in numbering ac-
tivities, 1877 per cent by brush burn
ers, 12.7 per cent by campers and 1876
per cent by incendiaries.

affected the water supply Of the Dis
trict, 1t was learned today. Maj Max
Tyler. engineer officer in charge of

special diminution in the daily flow
Of water from the filtration plant

days, despite the fact that 1t was
above the average on several days.
For instance, the amount of water
pumped to the filters representing
