The elite of Washington society

And practically all of Washing

for generations.
Her grandmother, the late Mrs.
Alfred f. Bates, was a belle OF

ton. Her mother, Mrs. Brooke, as

ball with their own fair hands.

generation of realtors" He is a
Yale graduate and good looking
and charming youth. Miss McKRe
had wanted to be married on her
twenty first birthday-July 4--but
her mother demurred because the
crowded condition of the roads on
a holiday made for discomfort at

ALBANY, y. Y, Sept. 15-Gov-
crnor Alfred f. Smiths plan of
campaign to win states in the agri-
cultural west on his tour beyond the
Mississippi beginning tomorrow
night embraces not only the six ma
ior speeches in which he will out
line his policies but conferences
with important political leaders and
contact with crowds.
Just how widely he will show
himself, beyond his appearances in
the six cities where he will make
addrcsscs-Oma Oklahoma City,
Denver, Helena, Minneapolis and
MilWaukec-was revealed today
when complete schedule for his
first week was made public, showing
81 short stops in Nebraska, Kansas
and III Colorado.
He is expected likewise to make
many short stops on the second
week of his tour, which will take
him into Montana, North Dakota,
Minnesota and Wisconsin on a
northward return to the east. His
plans call for no speeches at these
stops. however.
In the larger centers in the north
east, where the Democratic candi
date will make speeches, he also will
confer with political leaders. These
it is expected, will include some OF
those who worked in the LaFollettc
party, in 1924, as well as prominent
Democrats.
Hcmocratic leaders have been en-
couraged by the support of Frank
P. Walsh, one of the LaFollettt
leaders in 1924, who is setting out
to organize for Smith among those
who supported LaFollette in the
northwest in such numbers in 1924
that the Democratic candidate, John
w. Davis, ran third in all of the
states in the area, except Nebraska

District Boosts
Border Property

y resolution was passed by the
board Of directors of the Imperial
irrigation district, sitting as Il
board Of equalization, yesterday af
tcrnoon in which the assessment of
city property within CaleXico was
boosted 100000. This means that
the taxpayers of CalcXico will pay
about $4,000 more in district taxes
than the original assessment figures
called for in the roll presented the
Board.
The district has been in the habit
of accepting the figures of the coun-
~ as their figures in the incorpora-
ted cities of the valley. The coun-
~ this wear sought to re-arrange its
figures on assessment values with
in the incorporated cities, the plan
meeting with much opposition from
the taxpayers, all save CaleXico.
CaleXico was favored by the re-
arrangement and cut of approx
matcly $500, ,000 in the roll was real
lzed. They made no complaint and
the county adopted the new figures
for CalcXico. The other towns were
returned to the 1928 figures.
In the ruling of the district board
yesterday, the figures for Calexico
were returned to the 1928 figures.
The now assessment had placed the
assessed valuation at $1,190,4 The
l92G2S mark places this total at
approximately $l,400,00O. This in.
cludes only real estate, the district
tax being fixed on land only with
no levy on buildings.

MINES FIELD, Los Angeles
Sept. lj.-Thc air races and cXpOsi.
tion here are the largest and most
successful ever held in dcmonstra-
ting development of airplancs. the
aviation industry and rmindcdness
of the public, Assistant Secretary of
Commerce William =. MacCrackcn
Jr., the govcrnmcnt's IS civil aviation
lead, told the United Press today.
The hackers of the meet can we'll
;,fford to write off slight deficit,
in view Of the aviation accomplish
mcnts shown here in Southern Cali
fornia and the resultant advertising
of the advances made in aviation in
this section, he said in an exclusive
interview.
Despite crowds aggrcgating about
10000, the great extent Of the ex-
position and the $l25,o0 in prizes
for contestants will run the total
cost past 100000, it was said.
Illustrating tie rapid advances
made in aviation as shown, Mac
Cracken pointed across the field at
a huge new transport ship, one of
fleet used for long-distance pas
senger service here.
"That ship has a high speed of
140 to 80 miles an hour" he re-
marked. :" At the air meet six years
ago, the army 5 fastest pursuit
planes didn t 90 that fast.
Has Much Value
The value Of the race meet, aside
from educating the public to have
confidence in aviation, MacCrackcn
said, was in testing and developing
the latest refincments of the plane
makers. He pointed out that the
races themselves are not thrilling
as eXhibitions,-one stunt flyer is
more entertaining than dozen
races, ,-but the data acquired in
competition, analyzed and computed
by scientists in their laboratories,
WAS of the utmost importance.
MacCrackcn flew part of the way
here from Washington in mail
planes, but the heavy load of mail
picked up under the service s new
prosperity caused him to be crowd
cd out at Omaha. The new five-cent
airmail rate was thus directly res
ponsiblc for his journey by train
instead of airp!ane, he pointed out.
The navy S aviation chief, Assis-
tant Secretary f. p. Warner, also
IS taking an active part in the sea
Scrvic" ) part in the meet The
navy has the majority of its new
equipment on the Pacific, and it
has contributed greatly to the sue
cess of the meet through its specta-
cular exhibitions of battle tactics.
The army has done much also, send
ing three large groups of planes
from east and central stations to

BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1J-Hcr-
bert Hoover is brcczing through the
sIgenuous physical cxertions of Il
presidential campaign without doe,
tors, diets or exercise.
Living upon the rugged constitu-
tion he built up as a young engineer
in the wilds of Australia, China and
the west. the Republican presidcn-
tial nominee is defying all health
rules for candidates.
Hoover has always eaten faster
than the average man. He eats any
hing and everything. He has
laughed at friends who told him he
had better watch his food. He has
not consulted a physician since his
nomination and this in the face of
the old custom that every presidcn-
tial candidate should carry a priv
ate physician wa him wherever he
goes.
Arrangements have been com
plctcd for the Newark, y. j. trip
next Monday. The nominee will
leave here by special train over the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad at $50 a. m.
arriving in Newark at 80 p. m.
No further comment was forth
coming from headquarters concern
ing the charges of Henry c. Hans
brough, former North Dakota Scna-
tor, who has written two letters to
Hoover challenging him to stop the
Whispering campaign.
George Akc1son, secretary to the
nominee issued statement late
yesterday, accusing Hansbrough of
making his letter public before
Hoover had a chance to read them.

Kingsinger Not
Guilty Says Jury

Earl ki@sing"r Is not guilty of uh-
lawful possession of still.
That was the verdict returned by
the jury which heard the evidence
in the case against the Calipatria
man in Judge Finney's court Thurs
day and Friday, the decision being
returned late yesterday afternoon
following dcliberation Of less than
an hour.
August Tierheimcr and G. H. Mus
ick, co-defendants in the case had
pleaded guilty to the charge previ-
ously.
The state produced little evidence
that would tend TO show that Kin
singer was guilty of the charge and
Musick corroborated the testimony
of the defendant to the effect that
Kinsinger had merely been present
to assist Musick in repairing an
automobile at the time of the arrest.
Tierheimcr and Musick entered
application for hearing on proba-
tion. The request was granted and
the matter continued to September
81 for such hearing.
All three men are facing second
charge in Judge Mayfield's s court,
a charge of contributing to the de-
linquency of minor.
Following his acquittal ON the
still charge Kinsinger was released
ON his own rccognizancc by Judge
Mayfield for appearance with the
other two defendants for prelimi-
nary hearing on Tuesday
All three were arrested by deputy
sheriffs and Calipatria police at Il
ranch in the north end of the val
ly, the visitors seizing a quantity of
