CROWD THRILLS
At DROWNING
RESCUE
Tidal Basin Spectators Are
Given Realistic View of
Coast Guard Work.

Shrill screams from a bather who
had gone down for the third time at
the Tidal Basin today brought hum
dreds OF Shriners and visitors who
were viewing the activities at the
municipal beach to their feet.
A few of the mobiles nobly made
ready to hurdle the railing and go
to the assistance Of the bather who
apparently was drowning.
AS the screams of the unfortunate
bather were growing fainter and
fainter, six uniformed officers CT
the U. S. Coast Guard sprang from
underneath the stand and plunged
to the rescue.
While the crowd Of onlookers and
several hundred other bathcrs
looked on with bated breath, the
Goa st Guard officers brought tie
bather to shore and stretched him
out on the beach.
Driving the crowd back the
Coast Guard officers energetica!lv
began to administer the Howard
sylvester LlSlAON VI CA $AAA'~A""
respiration.
Their attempts to resuscitatc the
apparent victim were SO realistic
that one woman in the stand be-
came hysterical. This was the cue
for Manager l.. Gordon Leech to
come on the scene and impress
upon them that no one had been in
DANGER, but that it had all been part
OF the life saving drills which the
Coast Guard are putting on daily at
the Tidal Basin.
With the suspense lifted, the
crowd then enjoyed other maneuvers
of the Coast Guard unit, including
the capsizing Of a cutter by crew
and its replacement In the water.
The drill will be repeated this
a afternoon at 4 o'clock.

in their ranks brought by the re-
current battle between William J.

the hooded order, and II. w. Evans,
imperial wizard.
With the announced intent Of re-
moving his followers form the

an advanced degree of hooded fra
ternalism, to which all knights Of
the ku Klux Khan were eligible.

to the Khan.
Simmons said the power vested
in him as emperor, authorized him
to create higher degrees in Khan

DANCE DERBY To

Weather CurtaiIs Marathon
Scheduled to Finish Saturday
With Close of Convention.
TIAAEsAsTAFEAPHoTo

The galaxy Of marathon dancers,
scheduled to dance the final heat.
in the first dance derby ever held
will begin their long weary grind
tonight at o'clock.
The event was to have been held
on Saturday night at the close of
the Shrine weeks festivities, but be-
cause of the excessive heat, will be
staged tonight.
The arena at the Arcade ball
room. Fourteenth and Park road,
deliberately decorated by James r.
Willard, manager, will resemble a
well-appointed race track.
Two heats in the preliminary
races have already been run off.
and the six winners in these two
heats, together with winners in the
various marathon contests, will be
the participants in the grand derby
tonight.
The dance held last night was
called off after the dancers had
negotiated thirty-four laps, because
Of the excessive heat. Many Of the
dancers were carried from the floor
in a semi-unconscious condition,
and because Of the strain on the
dancers, it was decided by the
management to hold the grand
re Nv tonight and close the danc.n
meet.
Dancers tonight will be permitted
to wear track and bathing suits,
while ice packs will be placed on
their heads as a protection from
the exertion and heat.
Special cooling appliances have
been installed for the comfort Of
the spectators and those who care
to take advantage of the continu-
Gus music to which the derby
dancers will waltz and fox trot
around the one-tenth mile race
course.

for Hosts of Shriners Visit
ing Here.

Ohio stood out today in the line
of Shrfners paying homage to
Noble Warren" at the White
House, the regular assignment list
including Cincinnati, Toledo, Cleve-
land and Dayton.
Outside the Ohio Shriners, there
was a swarm Of them from other
States eager to greet ''the most
distinguished noble" All lanes
seemed to lead to the White House,
the lull in fixed activities giving
the visitors to the Capital a chance
to roam. @
Through the explicit orders of
Mrs. Harding, the spacious grounds
Of the White House were thrown
open to all visitors. Last night
everybody, Shriners and every
body" as the mistress of the Presi-
Dental home expressed it, made
themselves at home on the lawns.
1t was open house."
First to greet the President this
morning was Mayor Jim" Rolph,
mayor of San Francisco, accompa-
MED by Chief OF Police O'Brien and
Traffic Chief Gleason. The mayors
son was in the party, which was in
the hands Of Detective Sergeant
Eddie" Kelly, one Of the Capitals
best.
President Harding told Jim" thai
he was fortunate to have as
guide Eddie Kelly, a member of
Hibernia Temple, as his director
general.
Hibernia Temple is an extraordi-
nary group initiated by Islam
Temple in honor of Chief O'Brien
and Traffic Chief Gleason, both of
whom came along with the mobiles
as special escorts. Inspector of
Detectives Grant assigned Noble
Kelly to show the pair the Capital.
Then followed mobiles from every
where, their bands blaring and glee
clubs gleeing. There was comedy
and every sort of antic perform
ance. Every temple that had
trick craved to show 1t to Noble
Warren" and all the attempts were
made.
Noble George B. Christian, jr.,
received callers in behalf of the
President.
George Drescher, a secret service
agent, and Harry Cooper, another
from Boston, rather constituted a
reception committee at the Execu-
tive offices, and received the storm
ing Shriners. They kept the line
orderly and spoke in the language
of the invaders, so there was order.
Col. Startling spoke the language
Of the South and thus everybody
was happy during the siege Of the
White House.

Incomes of Million
Decline, But U. S.
Knows Whv

Million dollar incomes in the
United States are not decreas-
ing, but sagacity on the part Of
those receiving a million a year
is increasing.
This was the verdict today
of the Governments tax ex-
perts, going over the 1922 re-
turn. Only twenty-one persons
reported incomes Of a million
or more last year, as compared
with thirty-three persons in this
class in 1921.
The Governments experts
attribute the decline in large
part to the fact that more and
more big fortunes are being
converted into tax-exempt Sc

PRINCE WISHED TO SMOKE:
RUSHED TOAST TO KING

LONDON, June 6.-Yearning for
a smoke at the annual Japanese
dinner, the Prince of Wales pre-
vailed upon the POSTMASTER to stop
the band and give a toast to "The
King" SO that he could indulge in a
cigarette. The smokers eAgerly fol.
lowed the Princes example.
The dinner was one Of MANY
courses and the Prince thought he
had waited long enough. But ETH.
quette made it necessary that the
toast to The King" be drunk be-
fore any smoking takes place. The
only thing to do was to expedite
the toast which was ACCOMPLISHED
by the heir to the throne much to
the amusement of those at the
dinner.
