PIPE BLAMED FOR WILD BALL
DAWES "PITCHED'' AT STADIUM
But Then He Could Never Obey Even 'No Smoking
Rule of Players, Some Say After Premonitory
Wind.Up Sends Sphere Far From Goal.

Vice President Dawes was Offering
no excuses today for his deplorable
showing on the occasion of his first
appearance. as twirler yesterday at
Clark Griffith Stadium.
He knows. apparently, that little
can be said for one who so f1agrantly
neglected his Spring training as did
he.
The old whip just wasn't in form,
that's all. It had been deprived of
the, limbering up process so essential
to good f1inging, and when the su.
preme test came, failure was newt
able.
It is pointed out that the general
publicly Haunted yesterday one of the
most important of training rules, alb
stinence from tobacco. Charley Dawes
doesn't think much of rules and regu-
lations, anyway, and the no-smoking
one he regards as a hidebound ordi-
nance grown hoary with age and de-
serving Of no place in the bylaws
governing modern athletics.
Mike Martin HOrrified.
To demonstrate his defiance of the
smoking ban, he Mortified Mike Martin
by hurling the ball from the grand
stand yesterday with his underslung
pipe in his mouth. Mike looked grave
in anticipation Of what was going to
happen, too. And on his face was a
broad IT told you so,' smile when
he saw the lusty heave go off on a
tangent in the general direction Of

stand on his record of some half a

come forward with various alibis in

PARK VIEW INSISTS
ON SCHOOL ADDITION
Citizens Body Again Appeals for
Enlarged Building to Provide
for Growing Population.

The Park View Citizens Association,
meeting in the Park View School, last
night again voted to appeal to the
Commissioners for the purchase OF ad-
ditional land to the rear Of the school
for the erection of an addition to pro-
vide for the rapidly growing popula-
ton of the section. A committee COM
posed Of George H. Russell, Miss Fran
ces S. Farley and Fred $. Walker,
president of the association, was ap-
pointed to communicate with the
Board of Education and Commission
ers and urge that an item providing
for the purchase of available land be
included in the school estimates for
1927.
A circular distributed to citizens
groups in all sections of the city urg-
ing the cleaning up of premises and
painting of property by owners was
indorsed. It was pointed out that the
task Of keeping the community clean
and presentable would be compare
lively simple If the collectors Of trash
would exercise more care in the pur-
suit of their duties. It is not an un-
common sight to see the streets in
more unsightly condition after the
trash. collectors have made their
rounds than before, it was said.

GERMANS FLOCK|NG
TO BERGDOLL TRIAL
Case of Draft Evader, Ac-
cuSed by Young Girls,
Opens Today.
BY. the Associated Press


MOSBACH, Germany, April IA
This little town in Baden was crowded
today with people who had come
from all parts of the region TO attend
the trial of Grover BergdOll, the
American draft evader, who is under
indictment for seduction and impair
ing the morals of minors. They ap
parently, however, are doomed to dis
appointment, as the case will be heard
behind closed doors before one judge
and two jurors.
1t Is said that of the seven wit
nesseS who will be produced by the
state one will be Leisel Schmidt. a
17-year-old girl of Heidelberg, whom
Bergdoll is charged with having Sc
duced three years ago. She was born
in Cairo, Egypt, the child of German
parents. She has been studying
chemistry at Heidelberg University
and is said to be extremely nervous.
Since Bergdoll escaped to Germany
from the United States he has been
rather a spectacular person, driving
about in his high-powered motor car
and spending money lavishly. Con
siderable symathy for the draft
evader is being shown because a
private detective of Philadelphia
named Robert P. Sachs brought the
charges against him. Sachs is now
believed to be in the United States.
Since he was arrested Bergdoll has
been given the chance for plentiful
recreation in the big prison grounds
and has ordered his meals from
restaurants on the outside. Recently.
1t Is declared, he has been in a surly
mood.
Reports that the state during the
trial Is desirous of preventing
scandalous sensation are causing
much speculation among the villagers
of Mosbach and those who have come
here for the court proceedings.

HISTORIC LIGHTHOUSE
TOPPLES UNDER GALE
Structure at Cape Henlopen, Del,
Built in 1865, Falls
Into Sea. -.

BY the ASSOcldteu IIeSo'
LEWES, Del, April 14.-Historic
Cape Henlopen lighthouse, on the
Delaware Bay 9 miles south of
here. crumbled and toppled into the
sea yesterday afternoon.
A northeast gale--the longtime
enemy of the "Old Man of the Allan
tic," as the lighthouse was known
with the aid of an unusually high
tide, destroyed the pre-Revolutionary
structure. Henlopen was the second
oldest lighthouse on the Atlantic
coast. It was built by the British In
1865, a few years after the construc-
ton Of the light at Cape Henry:
For years the insecurity Of Hen
lopen light hid been apparent and
unusual efforts had been made to
preserve it for historic reasons. All
Monday night great waves from the
ocean ate into the sand foundation
at the foot of the ancient structure.
Harassed by the gale, the waves
pounded higher and higher until they
beat away the last supports and the
lighthouse tumbled over.
During the Revolutionary War, the
British seized Henlopen and burned
the interior. The United States
Government repaired the damage and
mounted a lens manufactured in
France whose rays were visible 40
miles at sea.
One Of the last dramas within sight
Of the lighthouse was during the
World War in 1918 when the oil
tanker William Pratt was sunk by a
U-boat. It's rays shone for the last
time on September 80, 1924. when
the Government opened a new steel
lighthouse nearby.

BUTLER'S CHARGES
LAID TO TOOTHACHE
Dental Trouble May Have
Made General "See Things"
Dentists Testify.
Rv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MARINE BASE, SAN DIEGO,
Calf, April 14.-The dental troubles
Of Brig. Gen. Smedley d. Butler have
become the first line of defense in
the court-martial trial here of Col.
Alexander S. Williams of the Marines
on the generals charge that Williams
was drunk in a public place.
Weeks ago, Just after he ordered
the arrest of Col. Williams as a result
of the conviviality growing out of a
diner party given by the colonel in
Gen. Buffers honor, the general re-
tired to the Naval Hospital at Balboa
Park to have several teeth extracted.
On the day the court-martial opened,
Monday. Gen. Butler digressed in his
description of the defendants alleged
drunkenness to relate how the catas-
trophic Coronado cocktail episode was
preceded by the extraction of one OF
his teeth.
Naval Dentists Testify.
At Yesterdays session of the col
onels trial the defense called two
dental surgeons to the witness stano
to tell how bad teeth can corrupt a
mans whole outlook on life; now
dental LESSONS can impair the functions
of organs far removed from the jaw
bones of the toothache victim, and
how they often cause man to see
visions, or jump confusedly to errone
GUS conclusions.
Both of the dental surgeons. Lieut.
l.. G. Conditt and Lieut.. Comdr
Frank S. ITCHY. recalled on the stano
that Gen. Butler had been having
plenty of trouble with his teeth just
before the eventful dinner at Col
Williams home.
The Judge advocate of the court
Cant. Leo Hermle, led the dental eX
perts into admitting that most OF
their testimony was hypothetical.
Browbeateing Is Charged.
Should the toothache defense fail
another avenue of defense may be
explored by the coloners counsel IN
accordance with limitations OF defense
attorneys yesterday.
These intimations involved the
question of whether or not Gen. Butler
attempted to "browbeat" his subordi
mates into submitting written state
ments supporting his charges.
The question came up during the
testimony of Capt. George f. Stokes
adjutant of the 4th Regiment of Ma
rines. who explained the alleged differ
enceS between his testimony and a
statement bearing his signature by re
lating that the statement had been
written in accordance with Gen. But
ler's instructions.
He said he and other officers ha0
been ordered to submit statements OF
what they observed of Col. Williams
condition. When the statements were
submitted to Gen. Butler, he testified
they were handed back with the re
mark:
You boys know what is wanted
Now go back and write new state
ments.'
