3. Kinble, a mechanic, whose wife,
Mrs. Sarah Kimble, was awarded
an interlocutory decree of divorce
last February by Justice Hitz.
After long trailing, clues OBJ
tanned by the wife's detective led
to a garage at Fifth and K streets
northwest. where Deputy United
States Marshal Weaver arrested
Kimble on a writ issued by Justice
Bailey which will prevent KimbIe
leaving the District until his wife y
suit is ended. The court also issued
a contempt order against the for
getful spouse and this is what
brought Kimble to court today.
The husband gave bond in the
sum of $1,000 to stay here until
the wife's claim is finally de-
ternined
The correspondent named by Mrs.
klmble, who was represented bv
Attorneys Raymond Neudecker and
William Ashford, was Laura Belle

couple were arrested by The vice
squad whose members testified at

Much interest has been aroused III

Majors Charles G. Hillman, Edwin

army.
The designations of the officers in
question were accepted over FRO

received training in special course s
at the expense of the army and tho
Government. The resignation OF
Major Hillman was to become CT

No action has been taken on the
resignation of Major Spaeth, who
is on duty here in Washington

as to whether the officer in ques-

RUBBER men IN
FIGHT WITH
ENGLAND
American Manufacturers ChaI-
Ienge British Hold on !
Raw Product
By FRED j. WALKER,
international News Service.

The long expected fight between
British and American interests for
control of crude rubber supplies was
en- in full swing today, with indica-
tons that tropical areas through-
out the globe would be economic
battlefields during the next decade.
The formal laying Of charges
with Secretary Of State kellogg by
American rubber manufacturers
against alleged British price con-
troll of the rubber market was re-
garded today as the opening shot in
the american campaign for home
grown" rubber.
Stake In Battle.
The stake in the gigantic economic
battle is the hundreds Of millions Of
dollars annually expended by Amert-
cans for automobile tires and the
thousand and one other products
of which rubber is the basis.
Great Britain was charged by
spokesnen for American rubber
manufacturers with bringing up
the price through reduced produc-
ton. This monopoly, Frederick
Hood, president of the Hood Rubber
Company asserted, has forced up
the price from 80 cents pound
less than year ago to more than
$116, with the end not yet in sight.
Kellogg's advice. was sought, It.
was understood, on general prob
lens entering into the production
OF rubber on large scale in certain
tropical areas not now controlled
by Britain.
Philippines Considered.
The Philippine Islands are under
stood to be one of the logical cen
tiers for laying out Of rubber plan
tations, but present laws prevent
holding more than 10000 acres at
one time.
A report by a commission au-
thorized by Congress to make y
comprehensive survey Of world rub
Der areas is understood to recon-
mend the Philippines, on condition
that political conditions are sta
bilized.
It was to lay these problems be-
fore Secretary Kellogg and also to
sound out the, possibility OF repre-
sensations to Britain, designed to
prevent further sensational prizes
rises in the product, that the COM
mittee was understood to have
called at the State Department.

HOOVER IS

Commerce Secretary Hopes
for Legislation to Put U. S.
i'm World Air Lead
By ROBERT S. THoRNBURGH.

By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH.
Backed by Secretary of Com
merce Hoover, aeronautical asso-
Citations and aircraft manufac-
turers, legislation providing for
Governmental control of CONNER
cial aviation is expected to be
pressed at the next session of
Congress, it was learned tdoay.
Within the last year commercial
conquest of the air has enjoyed
unprecedented growth in the
United States.
Hoover, in his annual report to
Congress, is expected to recon-
mend comprehensive legislation
that will take this form of trans
portation out of its present I'M
certainty.
Subsidy Unlikely.
While feeling that this country is
not keeping pace with foreign ma
lions in the development of COM
mercial aeronautic Hoover holds
that properly backed with gov.
ernmental sanction the United
States States will take the lead as
It has in other industrial and COM
mercial pursuits.
There is no indication that legis-
1ation will be proposed to subsidize
commercial air services, a method
successfully employed in many Of
the foreign countries.
In the Commerce Department
Year Book, just issued, Hoover
pointed out that consideration was
given in the last Congress to a bill
to establish a Government bureau
for civil air navigation, to plan and
assist in the establishment OF air
routes and to license airplanes and
pilots.
The legislation contemplated not
only the general regulation Of COM
mercial air services through Gov
eminent department, but contained
provisions making applicable to air
services the existing laws Oil lmmi
grafton and customs, modified to
meet special demands" Hoover said.
Measure Sidetracked.
although meeting with general
appreciation, the measure failed OF
passage owing to pressure of other
legislative business"
Hoover attributed the hesitant
tendency for greater development
to the fact that the public lacked
assurance of safety and responsible
ity that Government supervision
gives to transportation services"
1T is believed" he said, that this
has been the greatest single OBJ
stacle to the investment of capital
in air services. This year, however,
is noteworthy, for an awakening
public interest the subject"

MARINES To BAR
BENED|CTS IN
FUTURE
Special Authority Given Will
Be Required in Case of
Re-enlistment

Two orders of great Importance
to the personnel of the Marine
Corps have been issued by the COM
mandant of the corps, according to
an announcement made by the
headquarters.
The first is that married men
will not be accepted for original en-
listment in the corps or for re-
enlistment from service in the
army or navy, and that married
men will not be accepted for re-
enlistment from the marine corps
without specific authority from
headquarters of the corps.
Such authority ordinarily will
not be granted for men Of the
fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh pay
grades, except in meritorious cases
of those on duty in staff offices
or in the recruiting service and for
sergeants married before October 1,
of this year.
According to the second order,
there Is an excessive number of
shoulder rifles being surveyed as
unserViceable. One organization of
the marine corps, has surveyed
rifles amounting to more than 55
per cent of it's authorized strength.
The corps has been obliged to pur-
chase spare barrels from the army
at a cost Of more than $157, 900 in
the last three months.
This enormous waste is believed
to be due primarily to improper
cleaning Of the rifle, after firing.
In order to avoid this waste,
specific instructions have been
issued for the care and cleaning
of rifles in the future.

LONDON, July 18.-The posi-

Britain. Belgium, France and Ger
many to discuss the German Sc
curity pact, was admitted at the
foreign office today.
The conference would be held
either at Brussels or The Hague,
it was said. The British are appar-

Germany. and are anxious to take
advantage of the good WILL which it
Is expected will result from the fact
that the French and Belgians al

In the opinion of observers here,
an atmosphere is being created
which will make ii easy for Ger

COOLIDGE SEES
MINE CONTROL
PROBABLE
Executive Reluctant to Con-
slider U. s. Operation, But
Coal Industry Suffers
BY GEORGE e. DURNO.
international News Service.

SWAMPSCOTT. Mass, July 1S.--
President Coolidge, staunch advocate
Of less Government in business. is
reluctantly reaching the conclusion
that the ultimate solution of the
coal problem must be Federal con-
troll.
Federal ownership, the Executives
would not countenance. He has
confided to visitors, however, that
he fears control may be necessary.
Mr.. Coolidge is not unaware OF
the desire of both operators and
miners for Government regulation
of the industry-the operators be-
cause of the special profit that
might accrue to them; the miners
because of assurance Of steady, and
perhaps, better wages.
The unsound economic structure
Of the coal industry also comes in
for consideration. Over production
and sharp competition between
union and non-union mines have
brought about an unhealthy condi-
ton that is. steadily growing worse.
Federal control can be had only
by congressional legislation. The
President, If he finally determines
on such a course, must therefore
wait until December when Congress
convenes.
DeadIOclxed On Terms.
In the meantime, anthracite oper.
ators and miners are hopeIessly
deadlocked in their conference at
Atlantic City over a new wage con.
tract To avert a strike on Septem-
Der /, the President must take al.
most immediate action.
Already Mr.. Coolidge has conferred
with Secretary OF Labor Davis on
the situation. It is expected he
will next call in Secretary of Com
merce Hoover and turn over to him
the actual job of meditation.
One possibility the President sees
Of preventing the threatened walk
out lies in the desire Of the United
Mine Workers to have the anthracite
and bituminous agreements expire
simultaneously.
The soft coal wage contract ex-
pires April /, 1927. If the oper-
ators at Atlantic City would agree
to an eighteen-months agreement
for the anthracite workers the
miners might come to terms.
This would give President Cool
idge a year and a half to secure
remedial legislation from Congress
with which to meet future emer-
gencies in the coal industry.
