START WAR

A storm of controversy ragged
in Washington today over the
value to stamp collectors of the
ESQ letters, said by the Postoffice
Department to have been carried
without legal authority from New
York to Germany by Charles A.
Levine and Austin Chamberlin on
their record-breaking flight.
General exception was taken to
the assertion by one high official
of the Postoffice Department that
the stamps have a sale value of
81 900 each.
Even the division of the Post
office Department which operates
a stamp collecting agency estimated
the value of these stamps at way
below $1,000"
Prices Range, Experts Say
H. F. Coleman Company, one of
the leading stamp collection agencies
in the city, in the Second National
Bank Building, estimated the value
of the much discussed postage pieces
at from SIS to $50 each.
Coleman says he understands the
carrying of the ESQ letters by Lee
vine was arranged by a stamp col.
lector in New Jersey. He thinks
the collectors name is Roosevelt.
At any rate he has seen within the
last day or two an advertisement
by this dealer offering to sell the
stamps in question for SIS apiece.
Coleman thought the fact that
the official character of the stamps
had been questioned by the Post.
office Department might have a
tendency to lower their value.
He pointed out that the stamps
on letters carried in the Hawker
flight from Newfoundland to Ire.
land-and there were only few
such letters-are now selling at
$275 each.
$1,000 Offerede Here
On the other hand, Charles
Kohen. stamp collector at sos
Thirteenth St. N. W.. stated today
that a prominent man in Washing
ton called on him yesterday and
told him to get one of the Levine
stamps. He offered to go as high
as $1,000 for the stamp, Kohen de-
clared.
THAT isn't ALL" Kohen said.
HSSS SIdLIIpS are gong nlEner
and higher. 1t Is my opinion that
in five years those stamps will he
worth from $4,000 to SIS, 900 each,
and will be hard to get at that.
These stamps are the first on the
mail of any nation on q nonstop
flight across the ocean"
Harry B. Mason, 91S F st. N. w,
stamp dealer and collector, ex.
pressed the belief that some persons
specializing in air mail stamp collec-
tons might give as high as $500 to
81 900 for one of the Levine stamps.
But it is hard to say" he quail
fled. From my standpoint as a col.
lector I would hardly be interested in
them at all. OF course, as a dealer,
/ would try to sell them. But I
don't think there are very many peo-
pie in the world who would be willing
to pay a high price for these
stamps"
He added. that the fact that the
Postoffice Department has ques.
toned the legality of the mail would
depreciate the stamps value.

Both expressed a desire to visit
Potsdam and see the palace of the
former Kaiser.
In addition to the numerous con-
gratulatory messages gifts Of all
kinds are being received at the

The printed report that both
Chamberlin and Levine had ex-

beverage.

will not be thirsty during their visit

Chamberlin has received many
offers for his services, the sums
being offered running into huge
figures.
"These telephone numbers make
me dizzy" said Chamberlin as he
saw some of the offers and the
sums.
The high interest of the German
people in the flight and the men
who made it was evidenced by the
crowds which gathered close to the
American Embassy and which strug-
gled to get a view Of the Americans
when they went abroad in the
streets. They were cheered wherever
they went.

"It was certainly a great recep-
ton, said Levine. referring to the
arrival of the Columbia at Temple

persons roared themselves hoarse
with ''hochs'' and shouts Of well
come.
1t was a sincere and whole-hearted
welcome and the Americans told
Ambassador Schurman that they
were touched by the sincere admira-
ton and friendship of the Germans.
The Americans said that the
strain of the reception upon their
arrival was more firing than that

After assuring Gibson It would be

Gibson said the recent ruling Of

M'ADOO URGED
BY FRIENDS TO
ABANDON RACE
Democratic Ch1eftains Be-
stir Themselves to Prevent
Another Death Fight.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, July 12.-Demo-
GRATIS chieftains are bestirring
thepsslves, to prevent another
fratr1cidal conflict at their 1925 con-
vention.
The movement has gained head
way as result of the growing belief
that William Gibbs McAdoo will
withdraw from the pre-conyentio1
contest. He has been advised to
take this self-sacrificing step by
such close associates as Daniel G.
Roper, former collector of internal
revenue and manager of McAdoo's
1924 campaign.
Sees Chances Slipping Away
At recent Conferences with his
former colleagues, McAdoo has been
told very frankly that his chance for
the nomination has apparently
slipped away, and that, even if
nominated, he could not be elected.
He has been urged to step aside
gracefully, and to announce that he
will support his party's choice.
He has not indicated whether he
will adopt this course, but there is
a belief in well-informed quarters
that he may. The eminence in his
former political machine Of those
who advise this step is such that
their promptings can hardly be
ignored.
Should McAdoo formally with
draw, it is expected his following will
turn to a man of the type of Gov
ernor Vic Donahey of Ohio, Sen
ator Carter Glass or Edwin S. Mere
dith of Iowa, former Secretary of
Agriculture.
Each has been mentioned prom
inently as his legitimate political
heir. Whom he would favor is I'M
certain.
Smiths Backers Are Silent
None of the three, however, would
enter the 1928 convention with the
prejudices, passions and scare that
McAdoo's candidacy would carry. =
Meanwhile Governor Al Smiths
hackers have been unusually silent
for the past two months, and it is
understood their silence was prompt
ed by the New York executive him
self. Besides injuring his chances,
over enthusiastic discussion of his
aspirations might arouse old ami
mosities, according to Smiths sur
vey of the present scene.
Senator James A. Reeds friends
have also clamped the lid on their
activities, although his strength in
the Middle West is reported to be
much greater than some political
leaders realize. 1t is predicted he
will enter the balloting with at least
100 delegates as a nucleus.
