desolate that should a plane be forced
down it would take days for the occu-
pants to walk to civilization. In taking
the pipeline course, Lieut. Upston cut
off many miles over the route that fol-
lows the railroad
Ell PaSo was reached at 1925 o'clock
and. after so minutes waiting for fuel
to arrive, Lieut.. Upston took off for
Tucson, where he arrived at 2:05,

lunch and a. art was made for San
Diego at So.
The heat IN Tucson was intense and
held at the same degree of temperature
up to 5000 feet. Lieut.. Upston began
campaign of climbing and after a
battle with the ship in the hot, thin
air, finally reached 5000 feet and cool
weather.
However. the bumps we're exceedingly
numerous and the 3-hour-and- 50-min-

MAID IS ARRESTED
ON THEFT CHARGE
Brought Back From Virginia on
Accusation of Having Taken
Jewelry and Clothes.

Margaret Smith. colored, % years old,
was brought to Washington today from
Elkton, Va, where she was arrested in
connection with the theft Of $4,000
worth Of clothing, jewelry and toilet
articles from Mrs. David Bornet. 1927
Ordway street.
The Smith girl, according to police
had been employed by Mrs. Bornet as
maid. When the family left the city
for a week on September the maid
gave up her position. Mrs. Bornet said.
The girl returned later in the day,
however, got key to the house from
neighbors and packed trunk and suit
case belonging to Mrs. Bornet with the
alleged stolen articles.
She called a truck driver and had
the trunk and bag shipped to Elkton.
where she has an aunt living.
Detective Sergts. e. E. Thompson
and Thomas Nally went to Elkton yes
terday, took the girl into custody and
recovered the property. All of the
articles were in the suit case and trunk,
with the exception of three diamond
rings. which the girl had concealed in

RESTRICTIONS HOLD
Up ATHLET|CF
Limit on Stands at Western
High Tying Up S45,000
Development.

Restrictions upon the erection Of
stands on the West side of the proposed
athletic field for Western High School
stipulated by Mrs. Anne Archbold IL
her agreement to the closing of Thirty
ninth street. to which the District Com
missioncrs are unwilling to subscribe
are proving the chief stumbling block
to the expenditure of $4,000 appro-
priatGd by Congress for grading and
improving the property for use by the
school.
This was explained today by Maj
L. E. Atkins. Assistant Engineer Com
missioner, who said that he and other
District officials are working on the
matter with more than little hope OF
being able to reach compromise plan
to which both the Board of District
Commissioners and Mrs. Archhold can
agree.
McCarl Rules on Case.
In a recent decision on the case, Con-
troller General j. r. McCarl held that
the District cannot use the money
appropriated for the work without the
full consent of the abutting property
owners to the closing of Thirty ninth
street, to be used as part of the field.
This consent Mrs. Archbold, N a
letter to the Commissioners, gave with
the proviso that the District agree that
the land not be used for stands. This
proviso, according to Maj Atkins, the
Commissioners are willing to comply
with in the present plans for improving
the field. But Mrs. Archbold's plan is
that the restriction be recorded in the
District land records, which would for
ever bar for such building purposes
the Districts use of that strip of prop
erty
The present temporary impasse leaves
the matter hanging in the balance be-
tween Mrs. Archbold and the District,
with Controller General McCarl's rul-
ing that the appropriation for grading
the land cannot be used until this mat
ter is Strengthened out.
Bar to Work.
AS sort of compromise, it was de-
cided to try to go ahead with the work,
leaving Thirty-ninth street entirely out
of the plans. This struck a snag when
1t was discovered that in order for the
work to go ahead the square of land
at the end Of S street, bisecting the
field, touches upon property on the
Archbold side of Thirty-ninth street,
and as result the McCarl decision
bars the closing of S street until the
Thirty-ninth street. matter is straight
ened out.
AS it stands now the field cannot
be used for athletic team practice, re-
quiring a fill of about 40 feet at one
end and cut Of the same size at ..le
other. n. .*..

HINES IS SILENT
ON CUTTING LEAVE.
Legion Committee Makes
Inquiry Into Curtai|ing Vet.
erans' Bureau Vacation.

While Department Comdr. Harlan
Wood of the American Legion named
q special committee, headed by Gen.
John j. Pershing, to inquire into the
charge that Gen. Frank P. Hines, d.
rector of the Veterans Bureau. Is cur
failing the 80 days annual leave to Is
when request for leave to attend the
Reserve officers training or National
Guard camps is desired, Gen. Hines
maintained silence in the matter. 1t
was said in his behalf at the bureau
today that mo statement will be made
at this time"
The executive committee of the
Legion desires to obtain flrSt-hand in
formation on Gen. Hines position. and
the committee met Wednesday and in
structed Department Comdr. Wood to
name the special committee, so that the
executive body might be better guided
in taking any action it chooses on a
resolution containing the charge, intro
duced in the recent department con-
vention, referred to the executive COM
mittee.
Gen. Hines, who returned to the city
earlier in the week after attending the
national encampment of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars at indianapolis, was
closeted with his aides during this
morning, going over official matters
which had cropped up in his absence.
Friends of Gen. Hines have challenged
the accuracy of the charge that he Is
trimming the leave of Reserve officers.
and they point out that the disabled
emergency officers act has thrown
great amount of work on the Veterans
Bureau force, which has been Con-
siderably curtailed, they insist.
Pershing Named Chairman.
Comdr Wood named Gen. John j.
Pershing as chairman and Gen. w. A.
Bethel. u. S. A., as vice chairman of
the special committee, with these men,
bers: Frederic william Vile. Gen. G.
E. Kilbourne, Paul v. Collins, John
O'Connor Roberts and Forrest F. Bartl.
Mr.. Wood is asking the committee
to organize itself and take necessary
action, and while the next meeting of
the executive committee, which author
lied the action. will be held the third
Monday in the month, it is considerably
likely that the special committee will
not be able to make report then, due
to the absence from the city of some
of the members. The executive COM
mittee. which consists of the depart
mental officers and representatives of
the Legion posts in the District, will
await the report of the special COM
mittee before taking any action in the
controversy.
