tanned everything. There was cold
chicken, salads. bread. pates, and there
were plenty of bottles of wine from Cote
de Rhone-and that is wine!
AlphonSe, our host, drove us far into
the forest, away from the villages With
only petit dejeneur under the belts,
! the pangS of hunger became evident by
l o'clock, when the cloth was spread on
the grass. Alphonse laid down the con-
tents of the basket, and the ladies ar
ranged the plates. The basket was quite
empty, but Alphone still seemed to be
frisking 1t for something of Importance.
Suddenly his face paled and he
emitted cry of anguish. I'VE are

less than that of pig! She has

the neck from a bottle. Sit down and

bottle"
But Alphone still continued to vail
His wife, our hostess, also turned pale,
and it seemed that she was about to
swoon. The scene was so heart-rend-
ing that needed drink myself.
"All is lost!" walled Alphonse again.
I'VE shall starve on the picnic! AL
phonsine has forgotten the toothpicks!"
Relief Arrives.
TT did look like very tough situation,
i for it would take more than an hour
| to reach the nearest village, and the
place for the toothpickS might be closed
at that hour. There might be another
picnic party somewhere with few spare
toothpicks that We could borrow, but
that seemed unlikely.
Compose yourself" said again. "I
can whittle out some toothpicks that
would do in pinch until we get back
to civilization"
"Ah, that would be we'll enough for
you and me, monsieur" said Alphonse.
I'VE are men Injured to hardshipS. But
the ladies? The health of my wife is
delicate, as you will observe, and fear
the consequences should she be reduced
to the use of wooden toothpicks with the
dejeneur."
Then AlphOnse told us Of some of
his terrible experiences during the
Riff uprising in Africa. His COM
pany had been cut of in a little mud
fort and surrounded by Riffs. There
was food and wine In the place, but
the tOOthpicks had not come up be-
fore the attack, and the column
could not get up with any relief be-
cause the roads were impossible.
On the third day the men were so
hungry that they were ready to eat
without toothpicks. just as some Of
them were about to do this terrible thing
in their dire necessity, an aeroplane APP
peared over the fort and dropped

cry OF joy-the toothpicks had come and
the fort was saved!

Further cooperation by the weather

in many of the affected States, but the
Weather Bureau said today Arkansas
Maryland, Virginia, Mississippi and
portions of Louisiana, Missouri and
Montana still were badly In need OF

any State in need of relief could take
advantage of the set-up agreed upon at

nouncement was made after Gov.
Ritchie of Maryland had complained
that his State was ignored.
Eastern railroads today filed with the

Leslie said his State had no unap-

He suggested that if loan of 81 ,000,-

PRESIDENT SEEKS
AIR FUNDS SAVING
Waste Due to Lack of System
in Government Branches
Subject of Farley.

Preparatory to adopting a definite
policy of effecting economies in the war;
Gus aviation activities of the Federal
Government by eliminating the duplica-
ton of effort on the part of the several
departments engaged in the promotion
of aviation and by bringing about bet
ter cooperation, President Hoover will
hold a conference on the subject at his
Rapidan camp over the week end.
To discuss this subject with them, the
President will have as his guests at the
camp Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, r.
Trubee Dawson, Assistant Secretary of
War in Charge of Aviation; Clarence M.
Young, Assistant Secretary of Commerce
in Charge of Aviation; David S. ingalls,.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy in
Charge of Aviation; w. Irving Glover,
Assistant Postmaster General in Charge
of Airmails; Capt Russell Train, chief
naval aide to the President, and Col.
Campbell Hodges, chief military aide
to the President.
Waste of Funds Seen.
1t has been revealed that President
Hoover has come to the conclusion that
there is an unnecessarily large amount
of public money wasted because of the
lack of cooperation and the duplica-
ton Of aviation work by the several
Government departments. He is anxious
to improve this and is hopeful that
suggestions to be made by these experts
who will be with him at his Rapidan
camp will be helpful in the formulation
of definite policy to improve condi-
tons.
In this connection President Hoover
already has made his first move by
delegating the Bureau Of Efficiency to
sturdy the economic feature of the
long-Standing row between the Army
and Navy regarding the jurisdiction of
the Nations coast defenses in the air.
Others to Be Guests.
The other guests of the President and
Mr.. Hoover over the week end include
Mrs. Lindbergh, Adolph Ochs, publisher
of the New York Times; Will Durant,
author; Everett Sanders, who was Sec
rotary to former President Coolidge, and
Mrs. Sanders; French Stother, one OF
the Presidents secretaries, and Mrs.
Stother: Mrs. Dare S. McMullin of Palo
Alto, Calf; Lawrence Richey, one of the
Presidents secretaries, and Capt. Joel
T. Boone, White House physician.
The President and mis- guests will
leave for the camp at about o'clock
this afternoon and it is understood he
intends to remain until early Monday
morning.

SLIGHT NOT INTENDED.
Maryland Not Classed by President rs
Seriously Affected.

No comment was forthcoming from
the White House today when it re-
ceived information of Gov. Ritchie's
speech of resentment. It was said, how
ever, that President Hoover, while not
caring to make any answer ct this
time, intended no slight to the Mary
land executive by not including him in
the invitations to the 10 Governors In
invited to attend his drought confer
ence.
It is understood that the President
did not class Maryland as one Of the
seriously affected sections when he
issued his call for the Governors con-
ference. It is set forth in the Presi-
dents official statement announcing his
intention to call such conference that
he was inviting the Governors OF the
10 States which up to that time had
been hit hardest by lack of rain.
It has been pointed out that the
fact that the President did not include
Gov. Ritchie In his conference does
not indicate that the latter is not ex-
pected to set up relief and rehabflita-
ton organization in his State to work
in conjunction with the general pro-
gram of relief as agreed upon as
result of yesterdays conference.

fore Commissioner-Fight Just
Begun, Declares Accused Mans
Attorney.

Herbert M. Campbell, Virginia
Highlands real estate man, was
indicted by a District of Columbia
grand jury today on charge of
Staying Mary Baker.
The indictment was presented
to Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat
of the District Supreme Court
shortly before noon. The grand
jury had spent two days in ex-
aiming more than a dozen wit
neSSes.
William H. Collins, assistant United
States attorney in charge of the case,
announced the next move would be to
seek the removal of Campbell from the
Alexandria City Jail to Washington for
trial at hearing Wednesday before
United States Commissioner j. Barton
Phillips, in the Corporation Court room
in Alexandria. Campbell has been held
in the Alexandria City Jail more than
10 days and prior to that was i1car-
cerated several weeks in the Arlington
County Jail.
The indictment was obtained in an
eIlOIL 10 accelerate removal Oh IIlG OG~
PENDANT to washington. A strenuous
legal battle to prevent extradition of
Campbell has been conducted by his
attorney, Charles Henry Smith Of
Alexandria.
Attorney Plans for Fight.
1.-THE fight has only begun Smith
declared when informed of the grand
jury action. He added he would seek
to prove at the forthcoming hearing
that his client could not possibly have
slain Miss Baker in the District as
charged in the Federal warrant under
which Campbell was arrested after
State warrant charging him with the
murder was nolle pressed some 10 days
ago when he gave his first indication
of planning to oppose extradition.
AS now constituted, the. Governments
case consists to great extent of state
ments by ballistics experts that the
bullets which killed Miss Baker were
fired from revolver voluntarily turned
over to police by Campbell. Such re-
ports were agreed on by Col. Calvin
Goddard of Northwestern University,
Chicago; DR.. Wilmer Souder of the
Bureau of Standards and Lieut.. John
Fowler, firearms authority of the Wash
ington police force.
Smith said several days ago that he
would be prepared in the event of
trial to produce his own ballistics ex-
perts as witnesses. He asserted these
men would uphold his contention that
the Campbell gun did not figure in the
murder
John Flaherty, headquarters detec-
tive, who was the principal witness to-
day, told newspaper men he expected
to be questioned concerning investi-
cations he had made which established
the hour of Miss Bakers murder as
around O'Clock the night of April IL.
He pointed to statements of passers-by
that they had seen the girl struggling
with an unidentified man who they
thought reSembled Campbell in an
automobile at Seventeenth and B streets
