 WOMAN ARRESTED
Mother Receives Property Stolen
 From Store and School

Because of her inability or un- willingness to understand the pro- ceedings in which she was an im- portant figure, Mrs. Sebastiana Dir gent of 13 Beaver street. charged with receiving stolen sNods. was ordered by Judge Henry P. Roche in police court today to return next Tuesday, and in the meantime steps will be taken to determine whether or not her mental condition Is normal. Assistant Prosecuting At torney W. M. Greenstein tried to 1m- press on the. woman, through an in terpreter. the fact that she was on trial, and also to elicit some infor- nation from her relative to her req sons for accepting articles which her IA year old son admitted having stolen in the old Burritt school and Feingold's store at 66 Lafayette street. but as it was impossible to make any progress in the hearing, Judge Roche ordered the continu- ance. He instructed the interpreter to tell the woman that the crime of receiving stolen goods is as serious as that of committing the theft.
 The arrest of the woman and her son resulted from investigation by Detective Sergeant Ellinger and Sergeant O'Mara, and clears up the Feingold burglary. which was re- ported to the police yesterday morn ing, besides two entrances to the old Burritt school. reported several weeks ago. Sergeant O'Mara was on Lafayette street yesterday when he saw boys on new roller skates and through questioning, he learned that the Dirgent boy had provided the skates and they answered the description of those which were among the articles stolen from Fein- golds store.
 At the Dirgent tenement Sergeant O'Mara found scissors, thread, cloth and other articles which were re- ported missing from the school and fully three times as much of the Feingold merchandise as had been reported taken. A victrola. owned by the public amusement commis- sion and used in the playgrounds in connection with dancing exercises, was found smashed beyond repair. The boy is said to have admitted making trips to the school and ran- sacking the rooms. Ice cream freez- CTS which were taken were found in his home The victrola was valued at $40. According to Ser

GEN. SUMMERALL | CALLS FOR DEFENSE
Spanish War Chief of Staff Urges Preparedness

Detroit Mich.. Aug. 30 R-A plea for reasonable military ore. paredness and for a peace time es. tablishment susceptible of rapid and efficient expansion in case of war was made today by General Charle. P. Summerall. army chief of stan. in an address at the 18th national encampment of the Spanish War Veterans.
 Recalling the confusion and disor- ganization which followed the decla- ration of the spanish and World wars, General Summerall said tlat the last conflict had taught Amerj- cans the "lesson that the impie- ments and forces of defense cannot be improvised on the moment; that the man with the rife must be backed by far more than his own individual patriotism and courage" {"
 The 1920 national defense act, designed to secure an adequate peace time military establishment lis not perfect by any means" General Summerall said. "hut we are ever moving towards perfection" The act is mo gesture of hostility or az gression," he added, "it is that the title proclaims-an act to promote the national defense. It serves to ward of. not invite, war, for, with

Sergeant O'Mara testified that w1en he asked Mrs, Dirgent how she had come into pos session of the articles, she said she had purchased them. despite her sons admission that he had stolen them.
 The boy is well known in police circles, having been arrested for burglary and theft in the past. Be- cause of his youth he will be ar- raigned in juvenile court Saturday morning. In the opinion of the au- thorities there is a question of his mentality. also. He said he entered Feingold's store about 4:30 Sunday afternon, using pliers to cut away the wire screen on the windows and covering the windows with wrapipng paper while he worked.
 He said he filled two suit cases with the stolen goods. obtaining far more than was revealed by the nasty check-up yesterday.

REMINGTON NEWS

The resignation of George w. Hanbury as republican town auditor was received yesterday by First Se- lectman James c. Gilbert. MT. Hanbury has been in ill health since he was injured in an accident in New York city four or five years ago, and it was because of this fact that he has resigned his position.
 Since the resignation takes effect immediately the selectmen must @ point successor because the town books must be audited as of August 31 which is the end of the town fls- cal year. The selectmen have several names in mind but as yet no action has been taken on the matter. The next meeting of the selectmen is scheduled for September 12 but since immediate action is necessary, special meeting will probably be held before that time.

Mayor Noriega Says City
Officials Against Pro-
posed Move
PLAN SHROUDED
u. S. Custom Officers Con-
slider Taking Action If
Games Open

Following a report that open gamb-
bling is scheduled to start in Aqua
Prieta within the next few days, de-
cided opposition was developing to
the movement from official sources on
both sides of the international bound-
ary lire yesterday.
"The mayor and city council will
oppose any move to open gambling in
Aqua Prieta,' said Mayor Ignacio
Noriega, of the Mexican town, ycster-
day afternoon. IT do not think that
any attempt will be made to open the
games"
Aqua Prieta Chief of Police Laborine
also voiced decided opposition to any
attempt to start gambling in the bor-
der town. He said that he hac not
heard of any attempt to open garnb-
ling but that he did not believe any
such attempt would be successful.
The report has grown both in Aqua
Prieta and Douglas and was given an
official touch yesterday when federal
officials in Aqua Prieta stated that
they had heard that a movement was
on foot to start gambling.
According to reports, the games are
scheduled to be opened by interests
who operate or formerly operated in
another Mexican border town.
1t was stated that it would be neces-
sary for the gambling promoters to
secure a concession from the governor
OF the state of Sonora. It was not
believed in that city that such con-
cession had been OF would be granted.
That the international line Will be
closed at an earlier hour in the event
that gambling opens is almost cer-
tainty, according to information re-
ceived yesterday.
At the Aqua Prieta Chamber of Com
merce it was stated that there is a
standing order with the Mexican imml-
grafton authorities there to close the
line at p. m. In the event that the
games open. 1t was stated that if they
should be opened prompt wires would
be dispatched to Mexico City regarding
the matter.
Just what action will be taken on
line closing by the United States fed
eral authorities if the games open can
not be stated, but prompt action would
follow
e. Iva. OpSOAe, uCPueJ SOAACCtO1 VI Jus
toms, said that in such an event he
would promptly make report to Fred
E. Edwards collector of customs for
this district, with headquarters in No
gales.
During Charles FoWler'S term of
office as collector there was a standing
order in effect to close the line at G
p. m. whenever gambling started in
Aqua Prieta.
Fowler was recently succeeded by
Edwards. The latter could order the
line closed at an earlier hour or await

No Chance of Flight to
Paris Starting Before
Wednesday

ROOSEVELT FIELD, N. Y, June II
GP.-iFhe storm that set this flying
field aWasa Sunday morning and pre-
vented take-off of the rnonoplane
America" was hanging off the Grand
banks tonight, an effective barrier
against starting the flight to France
before Wednesday.
Commander Richard E. Byrd and
his three-nlan crew spent part e the
day at the hangar and the runway
where the tri-motored plane is poised
for flight, but shook their heads in dis
couragement when they heard the Wea-
ther mans report.
"There won't be any take-off tomor-
row morning." Byrd said. '"The way
the winds are now they'd cost us 10
miles an hour all the way to New
|fuundla11d and Is miles an hour across
the ocean. And the low pressure that
runs from Newfoundland south TO the
steamship lanes forms an effective bar
rier."
There was excitement among the
spectators this morning when It. III.
Kinkade, Wright motor expert, started
the planes engines. This action was
taken to indicate that surprise hop
off had been decided on and everyone
on the field ran to the ropes lining the
runway. But Kinkade was merely tun-
ing up the motors. After running each
one for 10 minutes he ordered them
hooded again with the paulins that
protect them from rain.
Porter Adams, president of the Ma
tional aeronautical association, who
had been here since Thursday to seal
the planes barograph just before the
take-off, left for Washington by plane
this afternoon, He plans to return
here by train tomorrow.
Captains of all liners docking at New
York today reported unreasonable
weather, bearing out the weather bu-
reau's reports.
The ships logs showed that if Byrd
had not needed the advice of the wea-
ther bureau against flying during the
past week he would have run into hail,
fog and winds which would have placed
his plane in grave danger.
