mony for President.

town University were conducted last
night in CASTOR Hall in the presence
of the most distinguished group of
educators, officials and diplomats that
has met within its walls since the his
toric occasion of Georgetown's centen-
NAL celebration 40 years ago.
DR.. Nevils. who was presented for Of
flee on behalf of the board of regents by
James A. Farrell of New York, presi-
dent of the United States Steel Cor
poration and q doctor of laws of
Georgetown, made plea in his in
augural address for progressive con-
servation" in educational training. He
deplored the tendency especially to
place too much emphasis on special
ization and electivism IN college
courses, attributing this in measure
to the impatient rush and hurry of
America shown in many ways, even in
the field of education"
Procession Is COlOrfuI.
A colorful academic procession in
which delegates from approximately
100 leading American and foreign uni
versities, including 90 university presi-
dents, formed at 7:45 o'clock in the

Walsh, S. j., vice president of George
town, offlciated at the induction of the
new rector. r. o. T. G. cadets bear
ing the American and Georgetown col
orS headed the spectacular procession
as it wound its way through the cor
ridors. The comforting Of honorary de-
erees upon five distinguished alumni
and professors of the university as well
as the awarding Of degree OF doctor
of divinity upon President Nevils in
honor of his career as priest and teach
er, was feature of the inaugural cere-
monies.
Referring to tendencies during his
address, DR.. Nevils declared:
I'VE find each year that special
ization begins earlier" he said, "and
electivism, If 1t keeps the same pace
as this first quarter of the twentieth
century, will soon be introduced into
the Kindergarten and we shall find
lisping youngster gravely electing
courses in clay modelling or crayon
drawing.
Need of Moral Courage.
"Our present day need is not tech
rical experts" President Nevils declar-
ed, "but men and women of intellect
ual power and moral courage; men
and women of general and genuine
culture-a culture that is the result
of harmonious training and the facul-
ties of the soul. Hence we rejoice to
see our professional and technical
schools growing more and more in
sistent that those who enter them

TAXI CLUE SHARES
HOLD-UP SUSPECT
Man Arrested Few Hours
After Silver Spring
Bank Robbery.

A wary taxicab driver and two Dis
trict headquarters detectives yesterday
caused the arrest of man identified
as bank robber less than five hours
after the Silver Spring, Md, Bank had
been held up and robbed of $1,000.
Hugh L. Mcdaniel, 81, 80 Columbia
avenue, Takoma Park, Md, is being
held at Rockville jail pending arrival
of States Attorney Robert B. Peter, who
will fix his bond. He was arrested
shortly after noon.
At the time of the hold-up there were
no customers in the bank. An un-
masked man entered and stepped up
TO the window of Fred L. Lutes, assistant
cashier, at sos am. The bank opened
at o'clock.
what do you have to do to get
loan here?" the man asked.
Confronted With Gun.
Have you made any previous ar
rangements," queried Lutes.
NO. was the reply.
"Then you'll have to see the cashier"
said Lutes, turning to indicate the cage
where sat Ira G. Whitacre, cashier. AS
he turned back, he found himself look
ing down the barrel of an automatic
pistol
"Give me all you've got" snapped
the stranger and Lutes handed out
DackapeS of CURRENCY
Whitacre overheard the conversation
and pressed the burglar alarm button.
He procured pistol and started to the
rear of LuteS' cage. The robber
backed away and Whitacre fired three
shots at the man as he passed through
the door, Then he went to the door
and fired twice more. LuteS secured
his revolver and rushed to the door,
firing single shot. Then, seeing the
crowd in front of the bank he told
Whitacre to cease firing in fear of hit
ting by-stander.
Woman Is Wounded.
One of the bullets penetrated the
right ear of Miss Helen Hobbs of Lin
den, Md, who was sitting in a parked
automobile. Her escort, Bradford Fox,
also of Linden, who was standing be-
side the car, ducked out of the way of
the bullets. Seeing that Miss Hobbs
was wounded he drove her to DIR. How
ard H. Hewlett, nearby physician, for
treatment. DR.. Hewlett reported her
condition was not serious.
Another bullet passed through the
overcoat of Hewitt d. Bodine, a coal
and ice dealer of 40 Pine street. Ia
koma Park, Md, who was standing
nearby. The bullet tore two holes In
the coat without touching the flesh.
One of the bullets ripped through the
plate glass in the front door and
fourth was found embedded in the
plaster over the door.
During this fIsillade the bandit failed
to fire single shot. He hurried to
waiting taxicab, hourished his gun at
the drivers head, and ordered him to
drive to Washington.
The cab started away, closely fol-
lowed by an automobile driven by
George F. Hamilton of Silver Spring,
optician, with offices at 1409 New York
avenue. Hamilton had seen the shoot
ing and followed in the hope of halt
ing the robber. He followed the cab
along Georgia avenue and turned left
into Falkland drive, near the rail-
road tracks. The cab went over the
railroad bridge and turned right on
Philadelphia avenue, with Hamilton in
close pursuit. The chase took them

NORRIS EXPLAINS
STAND FOR SMITH
Water Power and Farm Aid
Real Campaign Issues,
Senator Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OMAHA, October Ex-senator George
w. Norris, Republican, tonight declared
prohibition was not an issue of the
presidential campaign and that the Re
publicans were trying falsely to make
an issue of it.
The Nebraska Senator, who announc-
ed his decision two days ago to sup
port Gov Smith for President, did not
deviate from the general text of his
prepared speech, but shortened it due
to the limit of radio time accorded the
meeting.
Speaking under auspices of the Pro-
gressive League for AL Smith for Presi-
dent, he outlined the water power and
farm issues-the main reasons, he said,
for his decision to bolt the Republican
ticket.
The Senator will not bolt the party
entirely, however, for Monday evening
he talks at Fairbury, Nebr., in behalf
of his colleague, Senator r. B. Howell,
Republican.
AS vigorously as ne praised GOV.
Smith, Senator Norris scored Herbert
Hoover for his record on water power
and his silence in the face of Official
corruption, declared that Mr.. Hoover's
proposals for farm relief were ineffec-
tive and inadequate, and asserted as to
prohibition that there never has been a
fair and honest attempt to enforce IT,
Refers to Farm Bill.
Asserting that Gov Smith had come
out "courageously and frankly in in
dorsement of the principles of the Nc
Nary -Haugen bill, Senator Norris said:
Il want to say to you, particularly to
my Republican brethren who have stood
for the McNary- -Haugen bill, who have

BIENNIAL ART SHOW
DRAWS THOUSANDS
Guests Acclaim Corcoran
Gallery Exhibition of Ameri-
can Oil Paintings.

An exhibition intended and con-
sidered to be fully representative of the
best in every existing school of painting
in this country was last night inspected
by as fully representative gathering of
persons qualified to appreciate its
merits, when several thousand guests
visited the Corcoran Gallery of Art in
response to special invitations of its
president and board of trustees to the
opening private view of its Eleventh
Exhibition of Contemporary American
Oil Paintings.
This biennial event has come to be
eagerly anticipated not only in the Ma
tional Capital but throughout the
realm of art in the United States. The
attendance, which included, as always,
representatives of official, diplomatic,
artistic and residential circles, was
commensurate with the importance of
the affair, considered one of the out
standing art events of the country.
That the verdict of the guests was fa-
vorable to the display as whole was
as apparent as their keen interest in
each individual offering. The discriIni-
nation of gatherings of this nature in
Washington is proverb1al.
Appreciation of Awards.
Evidences of appreciation given last
night must prove gratifying to the
members of the professional jury which
selected and arranged the paintings and
decided on the bestowal of the four
important william A. Clark prizes. The
untiring efforts, both physical and
mental, of these distinguished painters,
both here and in New York, may be
considered of themselves as an important
contribution to the advancement of art.
They labor without pay, give freely Of
their time and energy and to them is
freely accredited large portion of the
success of any of these biennial events.
The personnel of this jury, which
serves also as hanging committee, and
whose members are all among the most
best known of preSent-day painters,
is: Charles w. Hawthorne of Province
town, Mass, and New York City, chair
man; Karl Anderson of Westport,
Conn.,, and New York; Ernest L.
Blumenschein of Taos, N. Mex; Adolph
Borie of Philadelphia and Aldro T.
Hibbard of Boston. The director of the
Corcoran Gallery, c. Powell Min
nigerode, served as an ex-ofdcio men,
Der.
There was no formal receiving line
last night. This has come to be the
custom the last few years in order that
the gallery'S guests may have the most
ample opportunity to inspect, enjoy and
discuss the pictures. The gallery was,

The Republicans point to the polls
and straw votes taken in every part OF
the country. all of which show Hoover
well in the lead even in States which
are by tradition and political complexion
surely Democratic. These polls are dis
counted by the Democrats, who assert
they are not fairly taken, or at least do
not reach the Democratic voters. The
same thing was said by the Democrats
of the polls taken in 1924 and 1920. At
all events the polls probably are as good
indication of popular sentiment as the
cheering crowds for Smith, perhaps
better.
227 G. O. p. Votes Sure"
Canvasses of the country at large give
Hoover the advantage. Twenty States
may be placed in the sure Republican
column, with total of 227 electoral
votes. This is 80 votes shy of the neces-
sary 266 electoral votes to win. Eight
other States with total electoral vote
of So are leaning to the Republican
column. Add the sure Republican States
and those leaning to Hoover and the
total Is 265 electoral votes or more than
enough to elect.
For Smith, nine States are listed as
sure with 102 electoral votes, and six
others are leaning Democratic. The
latter have 98 electoral votes. If Smith
takes all six of the States listed as lean
ing Democratic, plus those which are
considered sure Democratic, he will
have 200 electoral votes. Five States
are still in the doubtful column with a
total of As electoral votes. If Smith
wins all these doubtful States he will
still be short of election by 20 votes.
The States listed as sure Republican
are California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Idaho, Illinois, Indiana. Iowa, Kansas.
Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New
Hampshire Ohio, Oregon, PENNSYLVANIA.
Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Vir-
girlia and Wyoming, with 227 electoral
votes.
Those States regarded as leaning
to Hoover are Delaware, Kentucky.
Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota.
Oklahoma, Rhode Island and South
Dakota, with So electoral votes.
"Sure" Smith States All in South.
The "sure" Smith States are all In
the solid South. They are Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi South Carolina, Texas and
Virginia, with 102 electoral votes.
The States leaning to Smith are
Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexi-
co, New York and North Carolina,
with o8 electoral votes.
The five States listed as doubtful
are Arizona, Montana, Missouri, Ne
braska and Wisconsin, having 46 elec-
toral votes.
