Humming motors OF low-flyine
searplanes tended to mar the grad.

army officers in the auditorium Of
the Army War College at the
Washington Barracks.
The planes encircled the college
while Secretary of War Weeks and

ing. While the noise did not drown
out the voices Of the speakers, 1t
diverted their attention as well as
that Of a select audience of army
Officers and their wives who at
tended the exercises. &
Word that the proximity of the
planes was rnarring the graduation
exercises was flashed to Col. Henry
Gibbins, executive officer of the
college. who Immediately got in
touch with the naval. air station at
Boiling Field. It Is thought that
neither of the stations could get
in touch with their filters, as they
continued to maneuver until after
the speaking had been concluded.
Frequent occurrences of this
type of disturbance has greatly dis
pleased high Government officials.
At the dedication of the Zero Mile
stone Secretary Weeks was greatly
annoyed by low-flying machines and
at the Lincoln Memorial dedication
President Harding was disturbed.
1t was that the Boiling Field au-
thorities had been notified to keep
lege this morning. 81

trustees OF the st. Peters Catholic
Church IN their fight to- Save as
much as possible of the shattered
fortune that Father O'Brien lost TO
alleged bond sharks and unscrupu.
lous schemers.
With every means at their dis.
poBal the trustees are combating
suit in the West Virginia courts
TO recover on notes signed by the
eighty.three-year-old priest. If this
suit L. decided In favor OF the
trustees every piece OF paper held
by persons who have not come by
them in q bona fide manner will
be fought out in the courts. It is
not vet possible to give an accurate
accounting Of Father O'Brien's loss
or that Of the parish, it was said
today. That it viii reach $2O0,00O
pr more IS a certainty and 1t may
run as high as $250,000 when ali
the notes now outstanding have
been presented for payment.
Parishioners OF the. st. Peters
Church have no intention OF fore.
ing an accounting from Father
O'Brien. The priest had been in
their midst for more than thirty
years, and they have every conf,
dence In his integrity and honesty.
He was the victim OF willy pro-
motors, they beI:eve.
Instead Of retiring to a. life of
ease and comparative luxury which
his savings Of 100000 would have
enabled him to, Father O'Brien is
almost penniless and broken down
in health. He has q pension of SIS
4 month, and this barely takes care
OF his actual needs. His farm in
West Virginia, which has an in.
come OF about $225 "a month, has
been decided by him to the church
to pay up the money which he lost.
He is unwilling to use any. of this
rental for his own use.
The Rev Albert Smith has
offered Father O'Brien home with
him. Father O'Brien feels relucs
tant, his friends say, to accept
charity from anyone. and he has
planned to stay in the st. Agnes
Hospital. in Baltimore, until he is
well enough to take care Of himself.
Then he plans to seek a retreat
somewhere and live on his meager
pension.

tent upon connecting the "unmerci-
ful and EXCESSIVE flogging Of Mar

lowed shortly afterward. the State
Of Florida today Is ready TO, calf for
expert testimony from physicians In
|. the trial Of r. w Higginbotharn,
whipping boss" charged with first
degree murder in connection with
the North Dakota lads death,
After disposing OF witnesses who
told of the frightful flogging, the
prosecution is attempting to show
that young Talbert died from pneu.
monia, a direct result of the whip
ping. The defense, on the other
hand. is making a desperate attempt
to show that death was the culmlna-
ton Of pneumonia and ''other dis
eases" not due to the flogging.
Both defense and prosecution have
admitted. through witnesses that
there was a brutal flogging and that
the youth did die. The States hope
for conviction hinges around the diff
ficulty Of connecting the two, while
Higginbotham's life may depend. on
his seeing that no connection is es-
tablished.
The sWeltering weather. has not
kept the large crowds from packing
the court at every hearing. While
most Of the little town seems to be
