DOC ACQUITTED
Of CHARGES

Yesterday was dog day in Judge
Isaac r. Hits branch of Police
Court. =
Charges growing from alleged
noise making proclivities of CANNES,
at late hours of the night, were
heard at length by the Judge.
Rags" a dog owned by Mrs.
Pearl J.. Orler, Of the 1900 block
Newton st. N. w. emerged the vic
tor in the latest of many court
hearings on charges against him.
Rags" was acquitted by Ju6ge
Ralph Given several weeks ago,
after several continuances, OF ac-
cusations which might have resulted
in his execution had be been con-
victed.
Alleged misconduct by rags"
formed the basis of two charges
against Mrs. Orler: letting a vicious
dog run at large. and keeping an
unmuzzied dog. Judge Given found
the evidence insufficient to support
them.
Yesterday Rags" was exonerated
again. this time by Judge HIT.
Neighbors. who made the complaints
before, alleged that he disturbed the
peace by nocturnal howlings and
barkings. Only one of eight COM
plainantS could name a date on
which the dog howied at night.
Mrs, Orler. who was given the
dog by the Animal Rescue League
and has staunchly supported him
in his difficulties with the law, was
all smiles as she left the court
building.
DR.. Ephraim Z. Ruebush, veteri-
marian, who operates a dog and
cat hospital IN the $500 block
Georgia Ave. N. W.. also has his
troubles with the 'neighbors, it de-
velOped in court.
Charges filed against DR.. Rue
bush allege that he, being the
owner and possessor of certain dogs,
did allow the sameNto bark. howl
and otherwise disturb the peace
and comfort of the neighborhood."
Charles w. Segworth, William F.
Wallace and J w. Ward, all of the
$500 block New Hampshire Ave.
n. W.. are listed as complainants.
The case has been continued until

F|REBUG SOUGHT
AFTER BLAZE

Fearing q dangerous ''firebug". is
at large in the District, a special
detail of policemen attempted today
to learn the identity Of the person
who started a serious blaze before
dawn in a deserted house in the
$500 block Sixteenth st. N. W.
The house damaged had been
mysteriously set on fire on four
other occasions in the last two
years. 1t has been saved from
total destruction each time by. fire.
men.
The sirens, bells and motors of
the fire department apparatus
caused such clatter scores of per.
sons in the neighborhood were
awakened. Many of them went to
the scene in their night clothes.
Traffic in the vicinity was tied
up almost an hour while firemen
fought the flames as hose had to
be brought two blocks along Six.
teenth Street.
Serious damage was caused to
the inside Of the house by flames
and water. The two-and-a.haIf
story frame structure probably
would have been destroyed had
there been a high wind.
The Sire bug" is thought to
have ignited a pile of old papers
on the first floor near the front
of the house. No one could be To-
Gated, however, who saw him enter
or leave under the cover of dark
ness.
The flames were extinguished by

Charles r., Bolton, of New York,
2S-year-old. fiance of Miss Marie
Wyona Stevens, Of Brentwood, who
was left waiting at the church"
when the latter needed the call of
the wanderlust, led Miss Stevens to
the altar today.
Bolton appeared at the marriage
license bureau this morning and OBJ
tanned second license to marry
Miss Stevens, having returned for
cancellation the license which he
had intended to use when his bride
to-be disappeared.
The Rev. R. c. Fitzgerald, of the
Church Of st. Francis de Sales, per-
formed the ceremony.
Yesterday. in Police Court, Miss
Stevens entered a plea of not guilty

pect to some day see airships 500
times as large as the Graf, which
will not only be able to fly around
the world without a stop and in
perfect safety. but will be able to
remain in the air for all of five
years, il necessary, without ever
coming down to earth.
Fokker is champion of the cause
of the airplane. Here il what he
has to say:
Plane In Infancy
THE lighter.than,air ship has
reached the ultimate in its develo-
ment; the airplane Is only in its in
fancy. While the future size of
transport planes is apparently un-
limited, 100 passenger giants of the
air that will be able to fly across
oceans with comparative ease and
in all kinds Of weather are not yet
economical. The thing that is hold
ing back aviation today is the scar.
city of good pilots.
Captain williams and Yancey
are not inclined to lean to any
appreciate extent to either side
OF the argument. A written state
ment signed by both Of them and
issued to International News Serv-
ice indicates that If they have any
partiality in the matter 1t is on
the side of the airplane.
Speed Is Need
"The primary point Of air trans
portation Is speed made as safe as
you can make it., Heavier-than-air

to state definitely which Is the

SAFETY IN AIR
AIM OF j. s.
|. SCIENTISTS

Many scientists Of the Gov
ernment are at work to make
commercial aeronautics so safe
that the public will lose its
timidity of flying.
Officials agreed today that safety
is the first prerequisite to building
up commercial aeronautics and they
cited the successful round-the-world
tour of the Graf Zeppelin an an
example Of what can be accom-.
plished by careful planning ana eff
cient management.
The Bureau of Standards Is lead
iHg the drive to remove danger
hazards. In the use Of the visual
radio beacon system scientists bes
lieve a long step toward beating
hazardous night and fog flying has
been taken.
Beacon Long Step
"The visual radio beacon system
is not only sufficient to guide .
pilot along a given course. by means
of the directive beacon, and to in.
form him how far along the given
course he has travelled, by means Of
the marker beacons located along
the route, but when specially ar
ranged, it offers possibilities, toward
assisting pilot in landing at q
given airport during fog" an official
of the Standards Bureau said.
The best arrangement for this pur.
pose has not yet been determined,
but several promising methods are
being investigated. An installation
has been made at College Park, Nd,
to test their practicability.
"A cooperative program has also
been undertaken with the Gusgen-
helm fund for the promotion OF aero
nautics, to develop methods of land
ing in a fog. A low-power visual
beacon installation has been made at
Mitchell Field, L. l.. where these
experiments will be carried out.
A reed type visual indication has
been developed by the bureau which
is intended to keep the pilot on his
course. The device is rugged and
simple. When beacon signals are re
eeived the two reeds vibrate-wnen
the two white lines developing on
vibration are equal in length the
a1rplanG is ont ltS course uSNl6
ton increasing the DETECTION or one
reed and decreasing that of the
other.
To render the beacon system more
flexible and make it suitable for use
at sites located at the junction OF
| a large number Of airways, a new
type has been developed capable OF
| serving u courses simultaneously.
A 12-courss beacon has been sci
up at College Park, where it Is
/ giving satisfactory results.
Lack Supplied
The directive beacons successfully
guide a pilot along the course, but
give him no information as to the
distance traversed. This lack has
been supplied through the installa-
ton of non-derictive beacons along
the airways at strategic points.
These marker beacons will tell the
pilot when he is passing over a
specified place, so that he can
locate himself and always know his
position. In addition the pilot may
gauge wind conditions and note
changes in its direction or velocity
as he proceeds during the flight.

Resurrected by the remarkable

the Zeppelin as contrasted to the
large number of airplane pilots and

FUND IS ASKED
TO AID WHEAT
GROWERS
BY WIN. K. HUTCHINsoN

BY WIN. K. HUTCHINSON
The Federal Farm Board,
charged with placing Ameri-
can agriculture back on its
economic feet, has run into a
serious deadlock in its efforts
to organize a wheat stabiliza-
ton corporation for marketing
this years wheat crop, it was
learned today.
The deadlock, growing out OF
agricultural opposition to the
boards proposal for establishing a
stabilization corporation, has led to
demands that the Farm Board
abandon the plan and extend i'm
mediate financial aid to wheat
growers through their own co-opera-
tive associations. An appeal for
this immediate relief will be carried
to President Hoover by spokesmen
for the wheat-growers.
Prices VIII Collapse
Reports from the wheat belt have
Indicated that millions of bushels
of wheat are now being dumped
into the markets, with more to
follow. II this dumping continues
for another month, Government
experts said. wheat prices will
collapse and the proposed Federal
aid rendered useless.
The whole wheat situation has
been discussed by Representatives of
the Farm Board and spok esmen for
the farmers co-operatives at q
series Of conferences in Chicago.
There, the cooperative spokesmen
Indignantly rejected the plan sug.
gested by the Farm Board for
creating a wheat stabilization cor
poration.
The farmers argued the plan
would give the Farm Board the
power to destroy their co.operatives.
to veto all their own relief
measures and to control their or
CARNATIONS. Hence, they rejected
the plan. The negotiations, how
ever, will continue.
Demand Relief Steps
In the meantime. Senator Nye
R). of North Dakota, took the
lead in demanding that the board
) take other relief steps at once
He suggested loans to the wheat
cooperatives for the purpose of mar
keting the present crop in
orderly manner.
The principal use OF credits, under
the circumstances. would be to store
the wheat surplus until such a
time as- the market could absorb
the entire crop without demoraiiz-
ing prices.
Congress provided for the RELIEF
measures. suggested by Nye. A
portion OF the $500. 600, 900 revolving
fund was set aside specifically for
loans to cooperatives. Unless the
Farm Board does take some such
step In the immediate future, con.
gressional leaders-headed by Nye-
will ask the President to intervene
in behalf of immediate relief for
the wheat growers.
