Gahan Candidates for Dis
trict Commander.

Only two candidates for the Of
flee of commander Of the District
department of the American Legion
have been announced by friends.
The convention will be held; tomor-
row and Saturday. It is probable
that either William F. Franklin,
past commander of Costello Post,
or Paul J. McGahan, department
publicity officer, will be elected to
the office.
The candidates announced them
selves at a meeting of the post
commanders held last night in the
department headquarters. 1923 New
York avenue. Policies for the COM
ing year eclipsed all other subjects,
and the veterans engaged in an
exhaustive discussion Of proposed
reforms.
Franklin stated that the item Of
$500 contained in the proposed
District OF Columbia budget, to ad-
NIT needy victims of the World
War into the old Naval Home, 921
Pennsylvania avenue, was too small
and said that, If elected. he will
ask Congress to increase this to
$40 900.
Kate Waller Barrett, national
president of the American Legion
auxiliary, has offered the old Flor
ence Crittenton' Home for use Of
the District department, he said.
McGahan, who is a member OF
the National Press Club post, prom
ised to spend a part of each day
at the headquarters and advocated
a. year of intensive activities as
well as reforms, of which, he said,
he thought everyone was aware.

SCENES

For the first time in the his

dominant part in a photoplay OF
the great Canadian northwest.
e. H. Griffith, director Of I'm
seeing Eyes" Cosmopolitan's pic
turization of Arthur Stringer's
story, coming to Moore's Rialto
Theatre next Sunday afternoon,
through the medium of the flying
machine, has made what are
described as the most gripping
and picturesque scenes Of that
rugged country that have ever
been filmed.
According to Griffith. the com
pany covered more ground in an
airplane in. a day than It would
have been possible to cover in
that country in a year by. any
other means of transportation.
Many OF the most striking scenes
were made around Castle Rock
in the Columbia Valley, between
the Selkirlx Range and the Rock
les. In that part of the rugged
country the planes scared more
than 10000 feet above sea level
and the filming Of the picture
involved many dangers, as the
hundreds OF small valleys have
extremely strong air currents.
While in search Of a suitable
location for q trading camp
scene, one OF the planes dropped
more than 100 feet in a tail spin
after being caught in an air cur
rent. This occurred at height
of more than 5000 feet, but for
tunately the plane was righted.
In filming the spectacular
scenes. the Cosmopolitan Corpora
tion had two gigantic Curtiss
planes. Charles Sherman Casey"
Jones, chief test pilot Of the Cur
tiss Company. was supervising

TREATIES PROPOSED TO

PRONUNCIATION of treaty between

ping would be permitted to enter

seal would obviate the necessity Of
amending the Volstead Act, which
as now constituted, prohibits such
entry, according to the view ex-
pressed today by high Administra-

Such treaties would be contin.

WAR SECRET ETARY
SUMMONED
IN SUIT
Weeks Names Others to Ap-
pear for Him at San
Francisco.

Secretary of War John w. Weeks
has been served with five sum
monses for his appearance in equity
court in San Francisco the latter
part of November. The papers
consist of an original summons, a
bill of complaint and an order to
serve outside of California.
Secretary Weeks involvement in
the case has to do with the sale OF
surplus army supplies.
About the middle of September
the surplus property officer in Chi
cago sold to the United States Sales
Company, a commercial firm OF
Portland, Ore, over one million
pairs of wooden socks, the sales
company depositing draft for pay
ment in the international Bank at
San Francisco.
After inspection of the goods was
made by experts of the Portland
firm, the sales company claimed
that the majority of the socks were
of inferior quality and therefore
demanded rebate.
The property officer of Chicago
who made the sale, declined to al.
low this rebate, and the firm, 1t is
alleged, was led to believe that the
proceed at once to collect the draft.
Thereupon the sales company insti.
tuted an action in equity in the
district court of California against
the bank and its officers and OBJ
tained preliminary injunction re-
straining collection of the draft
Later 1t was discovered that the
Secretary of War should be party
to the suit. so summonses were
issued and personal service made at
the War Department Monday.
Weeks decided to have the De-
partment of Justice handle his in
terests as Secretary of War, and
the Federal district attorney at
Chicago was designated to repre-
sent the War Secretary in the
proceedings at San Francisco.
