The suspension Of Capt. Robert e

touched of a storm of debate in the
Senate today, in which, Senators Blease
of South Carolina, and Overman of
North Carolina came to the defense of
the suspended officers. while other Sena-
tors were urging that the Sackett sub
committee should be given a chance
to conduct its investigation before these
matters are aired on the Senate floor
Senator Blease characterized the sus-
pension of Doyle and Allen as dirty
cowardly. contemplate act" and de-
clared Maj. Pratt is an "autocrat."
Senator King of Utah and Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts, objected to the
trying of these various police upheaVals
on the Senate floor. They took the
position that the District government as
a whole is not bad and that the SUD-
committee appointed to investigate
should be allowed to ascertain all the
facts regarding the various cases that
have developed recently and determine
where blame should be placed.
Places Witnesses in Record.
Another important development today
was the action of Senator Bleage in

PRESIDENT NEARING
END OF RIVER VISIT
FIotiIIa Passes Many Historic
Points on Way to Louis

staff Correspondent of The Star.

ABOARD PRESIDENT HOOVER'S S
FLOTILLA, Ohio River. october a.
President Hoover today is enjoying the
sights along the Ohio River, rich in
legends and romance of the early river
history of America, as the u. s. S.
Greenbriar, bearing him and his party
to Louisville, KY, moves smoothly over
this broad waterway.
1t is picturesque scene as the river
winds its way through what is known
as the Ohio Valley. ANY number of in
teresting and historic spots along the
way have been pointed out to the Ex-
ecutive. Among these were little settle
ments, some of them rich in frontier
history and which figured prominently
In the romantic days of water travel
generations ago.
Ever since embarking yesterday after
noon at Cincinnati, in which city Mr.
Hoover received a tremendous ovation
during his brief visit for the purpose
of making an address incident to the
ceremonies commemorating the compile
ton of the 9-foot channel from Pitts
burgh to the Mississippi River at Cairo
| this transformed waterway. He had
made it apparent that he wanted tc
miss nothing of interest. Therefore
much of his time has been spent out or
| the upper deck of his steamer, despite
the stormy weather, or seated near
window inside. He has been keenly in
| terested in the various locks Of the wa
| terway and asked many questions as
| his boat was passing through them
He scanned things with the eye OF ar
engineer.
President Appears Rested.
The President appeared rested anc
refreshed today after good sound sleer
| in a bed, after two nights aboard
! train and after two days which unques-
| tionably taxed his strength. He re-
tired early last night and was up today
before z O'Clock. All the members of his
party also arose early and everybody
| had finished breakfast and was ready
| for the reception at Madison, Ind, one
! Of the most picturesque and historic
towns along. the Ohio, where the Presi,
dent was formally welcomed to this
mart of the valley by Gov. Leslie OF In
diana. Virtually the entire populace oi
! this river town, as well as many per-
sons from the outlying country. were
| lined along the levee and the public
| landing to pay tribute. Gov. Leslie ano
the local authorities came aboard tc
extend greetings, and the demonstra-
ton was a highly impressive and en-
thusiaStic one.
Madison is proud of the prominent
place it occupied in the river activity
before the railroads came and the river
lie and business slumped. 1t was a
| promising metropolis in the days OF the
river packets and great things were

him, but for Capt. Doyle it will mark
the first time since he was rookie"
pounding the bricks" back in 1893,
that a superior officer has cited him
for disciplinary action. In fact, in his
long career in the department, Doyle
has been cited before the trial board
but twice for minor infractions of police
rules. The first time was in 1892, when
he was fined SIS. The trivial charge
against him the following year was
dismissed.
While the general charge against
Doyle and Allen will be conduct preju-
dicial to the good order, reputation and
discipline of the force" Maj. Pratt said
he had not definitely decided the nature
of the specifications to be included.
Violation of a section Of the police
manual which holds an off1cer Is in
subordinate for showing disrespect to
a superior officer or other persons by
violent, coarse or insolent language or
behavior" is one the police superintend-
ent has under consideration. He said
in his opinion, the language in the
letter of Allen and the official report
of Doyle was "insolent."
Leaves Post Quietly.
Quietly and without ceremony Capt.
Doyle left his post at the eighth pre-
cinct promptly at o'clock, presenting
his equipment to his successor, Lieut..
Michael J. Ready, acting captain, and
Inspector Thaddeus Bean.
Regarding his suspension, Doyle re-
fused to comment other than to say:
IT have done my duty and obeyed the
commands of my superior officers. My
men know that. I do not believe that
this is the opportune time for any other
statement"
When turned in my equipment"

said that he had never served under o

Formal charges on which Doyle and
Allen are to be tried are being framed
today by Harry M. Luckett, chief clerk
of the Police Department, and Stanley
H. DeNeale, assistant corporation coun-
sci and trial board prosecutor. Maj.
Pratt said the charges would be served
on the two officers in time to order their
appearance before the police disciplinary
board at its regular session next We'd
nesday.
Charges Based on Letter.
The charges are to be based entirely
on Aliens defiant letter of explanation
for his statement that he proposed to
investigate the United States attorneys S

prosecute William l.. Moffatt, an invest
ment broker, indicted in February. 1928,
and arrested last week on a new charge,
and Capt. Doyle's official report sustain
ing the policeman in his criticism-con-
duct which Maj. Pratt contends consti-
tuted characterization" detrimental to
the discipline and morale of the Police
Department.
The penalty prescribed for insubordi-
nation in the police manual ranges from
warning to dismissal from the force
with q reprimand, fine or demotion as
the intermediary courses. The severity
OF the penalty Is left subject, however
to review and modification by the Com
miSsioners.
The police trial board, composed OF
Inspector Louis J. Stoll, Capt. William
G. Stott of the third precinct, and Capt.
o. T. Davis of the second precinct, will
hear the charges against Doyle and
Allen, unless the accused officers OBJ
ject. In that event Maj. Pratt said he
would change the personnel, although
he has no intention now of creating a
special tribunal.

board will not be a new experience for

Two Gaithersburg and One
Rockville Man Lose Lives
in Collision.

Three section hands we're killed early
today and four injured, one perhaps
fatally, when a heavy freight engine
ploughed through their work car or
the B. g. o. tracks at Rockville.
The dead are:
Millard Mobley, 20, Gaithersburg, Md
Marion Selby, 25, Gaithersburg, Md.
Thomas Poole, %, Rockville, Md.
Mobley died almost instantly, caught
in the wreckage from which the others
were catapulted. His mangled body was
extricated after the locomotive was
halted some 500 feet from the point of
collision.
Poole expired en- route to Emergency
Hospital in Washington. His skull was
broken and there were internal injuries
Gaithersburg Man May Die.
Selby died in the Washington hos
pital few hours after his arrival. He
had sustained fractured skull.
William Thompson, 25, Gaithersburg,
may ole of fractured skull, internal
hurts and shock. He is at Emergency
Hospital.
The men had just placed their gas
oline car on the rails of the main
track, preparatory to leaving for scene
OF minor derailment near Georgetown
Junction.
The locomotive, backing down the
track to relieve a dead" engine be-
tween Rockville and Georgetown, came
upon the section crew from behind.
The victims were caught unawares
partly because their rear vision was
obscured by a curve and partly be-
cause they were looking ahead for
clearance. Railroad men said the traci
on which they were east bound Gus
tomarily handled traffic in the opposite
direction. 1t was pointed out, however
that emergency relief trains usually are
! routed in that manner.
Hold Inquest Tomorrow.
An inquest to fix the blame will be
held at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
in Rockville by Justice of the Peace
| John Jones.

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The ramifications of the sugar lobby
in Washington, seeking to keep down
the duty on sugar, were inquired into
today by the Senate lobby committee.
H. C. Lakin, president of the Cuba
Co.. a $175,0OO,OOO concern. told the
committee that his company and other
sugar interests in Cuba and importers
had agreed to spend about $95,000 in
the campaign here during considera-
ton of the tariff bill.
Mr.. Lakin said, in answer to a ques-
tion by Chairman Caraway of the COM
mittee, that the interests he repre-
sented had carried on extensive propa-
ganda work, and that they had under
taken this work for the first time dur
ing the last year. He said that about
$4,000 had been expended through a
publicity bureau in Washington, con-
Quoted under the charge Of Mrs. Gladys

Mr. Lakin said that he had been re-
quested to become the spokesman for
the Cuban sugar producers and that he
had represented go per cent of the
people who make sugar in Cuba.
He said that the Cuban government
had been much disturbed by reports
that the sugar duty was to be increased.
The president of the American Cham
ber of Commerce in Cuba had told him,
he said, that the Cuban government
was anxious to have Mr.. Lakin present
the case of the Cuban sugar growers.
Mr. Lakin said that he did not feel that
he should refuse, for his company al
ways had been on the best of relations
with the Cuban government.

Is Successful.
MITE PLANE REGARDED
SMALL FOR OCEAN HOP
Aviator Chose Northern Route, but
Is Not Following Usual Ship
Lanes-No Apprehension Felt,
Since Fuel Supply Is Believed
to Be Ample.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Twenty-four hours after taking
off from Harbor Gace, New
foundland, on an unannounced
solo hop across the North Atlantic
for London nothing had been seen
or heard of Urban F. Diteman, jr.,
and his plane, the Golden Hind.
Stepping casually into his little
low-winged monoplane yesterday
at 10:45 am. Eastern standard
time, the Montana cattleman, who
had been flying but two years and
a half, headed his plane out into
a clear Atlantic sky. Probably it
was more casually than Sir Francis
Drake, with whom he claimed re-
lationship, ever started out in his
Golden Hind of the seas on an
exploring expedition.
Unapprised of weather condi-
tions, except those over New
foundland, Diteman luckily picked
one of the best flying days that
late October could offer.
He had 165 gallons of gasoline
aboard. which he said meant, con-
servatively, Is hours of flying time,
but with favorable winds flying
men estimated his gas would prob
ably carry him a few hours be-
yond that time.
All along the Irish ard English
coasts a sharp lookout was being kept,
but there was no sign of the plane.
He was probably north of the regular
shipping lanes aAd there were few YES
sells in his PATH so the fact that he
had not been sighted en- route caused
little fear.
His small plane, believed to be the
smallest in which any man has dared
the ocean crossing, would be but
speck in an infinite expanse OF sky and
sighting from a ship would be matter
of rarest luck.
Latest weather reports received by
the weather department OF the BRUSH
air ministry indicated that Diteman was
probably encountering variable winds,
but would be all right once ne ap-
preached the Irish coast.
Following winds from the west cover
a considerable part of his route, but
elsewhere there was a strong north
wind. =,
An official at London said that If
Diteman got into latitude SIS north ne
would probably find the upper air very
cold. From longitude 80 to Is west
there is q pronounced low pressure
trough, and in this area, from latitude
as to So north, Diteman would probably
have had bad weather with low-lying
clouds.
