Unsettled Conditions in
Ireland.

Senator Lynn J. Frazier Of North
Dakota last night urged the re-
lease Of Eamonn De Valera, now held

luton into the House urging Con-
gress to protest against the impris-
onment, also spoke. Following his

Women's Peace League Delegates
Vigorously Protest Presidents
Proposal to Resign.

A suggestion from Miss Jane
Addams today that she retire as
president of the Women's Interna-
tional League of Feace and Freedom
and be succeeded by a younger leader
brought from the delegates to the
fourth international congress of that
society in the Washington Hotel loud
and immediate protests.
Miss Addams' remark came imme-
diately after she had appointed
committee to nominate the officers OF
the league for another term. She
pointed out that she had enjoyed her
tenure of Office, but would be glad to
step down. in favor of successor,
whom she urged the delegates to select.
Cries of NO, mol" arose from all
parts of the auditorium and several
persons obtained the floor to speak
against the suggestion. Miss Ger
trude Baer of Germany. who had been
mentioned as possible presldentlai
material, declared that with Europe
in it's present condition the league
really needs Miss Adams The
delegates stood and applauded Tor
several minutes.
Bloc Opposition Seen.
A possible bloc opposed to the re-
election of Miss Addams was seen,
however, when Frau Leida Heymann
would not permit her name to be put
before the congress for reelection as
vice president. She said she tnougnt
the league needed young blood, but

day that Miss Addams and her entire
ticket would be retained in office.

BOILING FIELD FIRE
DOES $4,000 DAMAGE
Flames Make Considerable Head

cred by Sentry.

Fire in a stable at Boiling Field
yesterday afternoon caused approxi-
mately $4,000 damage to the building
and contents before it was brought
under control by the combined efforts
of the post and city fire departments.
The fire had gained considerable
headway before it was discovered by
a sentry.
The building, a one-story frame
structure, was destroyed. Much hay
and straw and a quantity of harness
also were destroyed, firemen being
unable to salvage any of the contents
of the building.
A frame building in rear of Ar
cade market, 14th street and Park
road, used as a storage plant by
the market company, caught fire yes

spread to the market building, but
reached the fence on Powell School

BLAINE ELkINS LOSES
APPEAL IN CONTEMPT
Senator's Brother Must Pay $500
Fine Assessed in Main

Blaine Elkins of Ventnor City. y
j., son of the late Stephen B. Elkins
of West Virginia and brother Of
Senator Davis Elkins. must pay a fine
of $500 assessed against him in Feb
ruary, 1928, by Chief Justice McCoy
of the District Supreme Court for
contempt of court in falling to obey
court order directing him to pay his
first wife, Mrs. Mary Kenna Elkins.
daughter of the late Senator Kenna
of West Virginia, $500 per month for
support of their son, Stephen B. Ell
kins Sd.
The District Court of Appeals to
day affirmed the judgement of tn"
by George L. Martin, presiding judge
of the United States Court of Gus
toms Appeals, who sat in the alb
sence of Justice Robb.
Mrs. Elkins secured a divorce and
received an alimony settlement from
signment of bonds, but no provision
was made specifically for the child.
In November, 1920. Mrs. Elkins filed
a petition for maintenance for the
child and was awarded a decree for
$3.50 monthly.
Two years later she advised the
court that the sum was not sufficient
for the boys care and maintenance
and called to the attention of the
court that. her former husband had
remarriage and, she said, was living
in style with his new wife.
Appealed Contempt Fine.
Service of notice of the petition
was made by a deputy marshal at the
home of Mr.. Elkius in New Jersey
and by advice of counsel he attacked
its validity and did not obey the
summons to appear to answer the
petition for the increase. Chief Jus
tice Mccoy then raised the monthly
payment to $500. and Mr.. Elkins de
clined to obey it. He was summoned
for contempt and pleaded the i'll
legality of the service, but was over
ruled and fined 5000. He noted an
appeal.
The appellate tribual holds that the
service was good because the local
court had jurisdiction over the father
for the care and maintenance of the
child, although it would not have been
sufficient to establish the courts
jurisdiction in the first instance or
in a criminal proceeding.

Famed Arctic Explorer to Get
Data for Aerial Explorations
CAPTAIN, BurtIett

Into Far North.
Coast Guard Craft
VIII Commemorate
5Oth Anniversary.

Capt. Robert A. Bartlett. famous
Peary on his successful polar trip,
has been commissioned by the Ma
tional Geographic Society to gather
data in the far north in preparation
for future aerial explorations of the
Arctic regions.
Capt Bartlett left Washington to-
day to join the United States coast
guard ship, the Bear, Americas most
famous "ship of peace" from which
he will make his observations during
the Bears annual cruise in Alaskan
and Siberian waters.
A romantic feature of the voyage
is the fact that the ship which went
to rescue Greedy, now, in making
what may be her last trip, helps pave
the way for future air exploration of
the Arctic.
VIII Study Aircraft Bases.
Capt. Bartlett will study especially
the locations available in Alaska for
bases of operation for aircraft which
would fly a zigzag course over the
million-square-mile area between
Point Barrow and the north pole
which area is wholly unexplored. He
will report upon harbor facilities for
supply ships, possible landing places
for various types of craft between
Nome and Point Barrow, the terrain
across country and along the coast
between those points, and upon air
and water temperature, wind and sea
surface conditions. :;
The Navy Department has extended
Capt. Bartlett every co-operatlon IN
his work, which will be of great
value as a basis of explorations sucn
