PROVIDENCE, r. l., May 26.-Lieut.
a. w. Gorton, Navy aviator, fell to
earth in his plane at the Hillsgrove
Aviation Field, near here, today as
he was taking off for a flight to
Washington. The plane was wrecked
and Lieut.. Gorton's nose was almost
torn from his face. Besides, he was
badly shaken up. His flight COM
panion, whose name is not known,
was badly shaken up but otherwise
uninjured.
Lieut.. Gorton flew to Providence
his mother. AS the plane left the
ground and reached a height of about
100 feet it was seen to take a sud-
den nose dive and crash to earth.
Lieut.. Gortons mother was among
the first to reach the fallen machine
and helped drag her son from the
wreckage.
Lieut.. Gorton's aerial career has
been a brilliant one. He has broken
several speed records, won numerous
cups and was a member of the Amer
ican naval fight team sent to Eng
seaplane trophy at the Isle of Wight
last year.
Lieut.. Gorton is one of the test
pilots at the naval air station, Ana
costa, D. c., where he has been sta
toned for about two years. He left
Friday in land plane for Provi-
dence. carrying Lieut.. c. F. Sprague,
executive officer of the station. In
the absence of official advices here
early this afternoon. it was not
known who Lieut.. Gorton's passenger
was. although Capt. W. D. Thomas
commanding the air station, thought
Lieut.. Sprague would return with
Lieut.. Gorton
Lieut.. Gorton is regarded as one of
the best pilots in the Navy and has
been assigned to test new planes for
government service with other pilots
at the air base here. He was dis
qualified from flying in the Schneider
cup races last September when his
plane crashed into the Thames on
official tests.

VETERANS BUREAU
INQUIRY TO REOPEN
Chicago Grand Jury to Call Many
Witnesses at Former
Proceedings.
MAY SHIFT PROSECUTION
Attack on Indictment of Forbes
and Thompson Cause.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 26.-Federal Of
ficials prepared today to reopen the
federal grand jury investigation
into the administration of the Vet
erans Bureau under Col. Charles r.
Forbes, former director. Subpoenas
were prepared, 1t was understood, for
many of the witnesses in the original
grand jury proceedings last Febru-
ary.
Col. Forbes and ]. H. Thompson,
Chicago and st. Louis contractor,
were indicted by the February spe-
cial grand jury impanelled to review
evidence in the Veterans Bureau case
gathered in nine months of Senate
inquiry.
Reopening of the case is believed
to forecast a complete shift in the
prosecution plans of the government,
in view of interested parties as q
result of an attack on the indictment
by Forbes and Thompson.
Irregularities Charged.
The answer of the defendants to
the indictment was contained in a
plea of abatement charging gross ir-
regularities in the grand jury pro-
ceedings. The government, through
John w. H. Grim, assistant attorney
general, denied the charges. The de-
PENDANTS demurred, characterizing
the answer as insufficient and re-
questing a jury trial on the plea for
abatement.
AS counsel assembled in court here
recently prepared to go to a jury
hearing, the case was UNEXPECTEDLY
postponed, presumably at the request
of the government. 1t is understood
now that the new sessions were called
with a view of perfecting legal tech
nicalities surrounding the original in
dictments.
Forbes and Thompson were indicted
on four counts charging conspiracy
to defraud the government and to
bribe government official. The in
dictment was understood to have CEN
tered around discussion before the
grand jury of alleged payment of
$4,000 in cash from Thompson through
Elias Mortimer, Philadelphia attorney.
to Forbes in 1922.
The whole investigation of the Vet
erans' Bureau centered around charges
of graft, bribery and other irregulari-
ties in connection with the award of
hospital contracts and the distribution
of the bureaus supplies.
Col. Forbes and Mr.. Thompson have
unequfvocally denied the charges.

Provides rs Per cent Reduc-
ton in Income Payments
Due This Year.
DOUBT STILL REMAINS
ON COOLIDGE ATTITUDE
Measure Supported by Leaders Of
Both Parties as Best Possible
Compromise.

The conference tax bill, already
passed by the Senate, was approved
today by the House.
Providing reduction Of taxes for
almost every federal taxpayer, the
measure now goes to President
Coolidge.
1t calls for 25 per cent reduction
on income taxes payable this year;
permanent revision downward Of the
income rates, repeal or lowering
of most of the miscellaneous and
excise taxes. and a 25 per cent re-
duction on earned incomes of $4,000
and under.
Although some doubt still exists as
to President Coolidge's attitude in
view of Treasury Department opposi-
tion to the provision for limited pub
licity of tax returns and an increase
in estate taxes, Republican leaders in
both the Senate and House Joined the
solid Democratic lineup in support
of the measure.
The vote was 376 to 9.
The brief debate developed consid-
erable opposition in the Republican
ranks to the proposal for even limited
publicity in returns. and several an
nounced lie the measure were vetoed
they would vote to sustain the action.
The nine negative votes were cast
by Representatives Fem. Merritt and
Tilson of Connecticut. Hill of Mary
land, McFadden and Phillips of
Pennsylvania, Mills and Wainwright
Of New York, and Moores of In
diana, all Republicans.
Favored ON Both Sides.
Called UP for its last season of de-
bate in the House, the measure as 1t
came from conference was again Bit
terly assailed by those who have
stood unwaveringiy for the Mellon
plan, but the leaders of both parties
joined in acknowledging 1t as the
best composite measure that. can be

ORATORICAL SCORE
SYSTEM EXPLAINED
Low-Point Method Will Be Used
by National Contest Judges,
Director Declares.
IMPORTANT PHASE SHOWN
Gives Minority Judgment Chance
in Final Decision.

Just how the low-point total system
of judging. to be used in the national
oratorical contest here June 6 will
work. was explained today by Ran
dolph Leigh, national director of the
contest.
Much interest has been aroused in
this system, which will be used by the

testants, chosen from the high schools
Of the land. will be Miss Ruth New
burn, sixteen-year-old Central High
School senior, who will represent the
District of Columbia, being selected in
the contest held in this zone under
auspices Of The Star.
LOw-Point System.
The low-point total system Of
Judging, which will be used at the
hnal meeting of the national oratort-
cal contest. has within recent wears
Deen adopted as the standard In inter-
Coiiesiate and interscholastic speak
ing contests" declared Mr.. Leigh. :
AS contrasted with the older sys-
lem OF selecting speakers by major
ity ballot: the low-point total system
IS one OF checks and balances To
put it another way. 1t gives the
minority judge or judges an oppor-
tunity TO make their judgment find its
way INTO the final decision.
onder this system the important
thfng is not the number of Judges
put rather their fitness for the task
since each judge rates each speaker.

opinion of a majority Of the judges,

GETTYSBURG, Pa. May 26.-To
consider the possibility of expanding
existing state park systems and estab-
fishing new ones in every common
wealth of the country, delegates from
every section of the United States
gathered here today at the inaugural
session of the fourth national con-
ference on state parks.
John Barton Payne, delivering his
opening address as chairman, sound
ed the keynote of the convention
when he said it had been convened
for the purpose of bringing together
the men and women who are devoting
their lives to the promotion Of fores-
try. recreation and parks so that they
might compare notes and take back
home with them ideas that might be
Parks Valuable Asset.
The delegates were welcomed to
w. Shreve Of Pennsylvania. He said
that it was fitting that the meeting
should convene on the historic battle
field Of Gettysburg. The animosities
of that war, he said, have long been
forgotten, and. therefore, Americans
from both sections can meet here
in friendship.
"Our state and national parks" he
continued. "are among our greatest
assets. There is no place where the
spirit of democracy lives stronger

automobile stalled on q road in one
of our national parks. Along came an
expensive limousine. A young man
stepped from the Limousine, took off
his coat, rolled up his sleeves and in
half an hour had the fiivver running
again. That is the spirit of the trail,
and that Is the spirit that will keep
America alive"
Maj r. Y. Stuart of Harrisburg,
secretary of the department of forest
and waters of Pennsylvania, in an in
teresting address pointed out that
state parks have four primary uses
and benefits to the people as follows:
Produce Timber Supply.
First, they produce timber sup
ply to meet the need of present and
future citizens of the state.
Second, they provide watersheds
with forest cover, so as to secure an
even flow Of water to foster the In :
dustries of the state and feed her
springs and streams.
Third, they combine charm of
scenery, with altitude, purity of at
mosphere, and general health giving
conditions which make them sani-

JAPANESE CHRISTIANS
RAP EXCLUSION BILL
Action of q. s. Causing Natives to
Distrust Missionaries,
Report States.
By the Associa ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, May 26. According to
the Hochi and other newspapers, the
smaller native Christian churches
have been dealt a damaging blow by
the passage of the American immi-
grafton bill with its clause excluding
Japanese. These journals declare
that the action on the immigration
bill has made the Japanese distrust
the missionaries and their teachings
and has been influential in causing
many Japanese Christians to leave the
churches.
Native christians leaders are quoted
in the vernacular press as saying that
few Japanes believe in Christianity
as 1t is taught by missionaries here,
considering 1t q sham and the mis-
sionaries' professions Of Christian
humanity, Justice and brotherhood
false.
These leaders are quoted as saying
the effect Of the exclusion clause will
be the divorcing Of native churches
from the American mission bodies,
which may in the long run be bene-
fetal as encouraging the remaining
Japanese Christians to stand unsup-
ported by foreigners.
