BY PARK BOARD
KiIgore Resigns Presidency
of Sunday Municipal
League.

Settlement of dispute between
the Amateur Baseball Association,
which yirtually has had control of
municipal diamonds for several
years, and the Sunday Municipal
Baseball League was reached today
as result of efforts of Logan Scholl,
park board member, who acted as
arbitrator.
Recreation Director David Kilgore
resigned as president of the Sunday
Municipal League to appease the Of
f1cials of the Amateur Association,
an older organization, which de-
manded ousting of Kilgore as re-
suit of the tangle.
The Sunday league teams had
difficulty in obtaining diamonds, be-
cause the amateur players had con-
troll of the lots before Park Com
missioner ScholI took hand in the
argument.
A resolution was presented ex-
planning that Kilgore was asked to
head the municipal league after the
amateur association refused mem
berShip to the teams.
Kilgore also resigned as tourna-
ment chairman of the American
Baseball Association, with which the
municipal league is affiliated. The
amateur association considers the
American Association as an "out-
law group, being affiliated with the
National Baseball Federation.
Kilgore feels that the park board
should control amateur baseball
through the recreation department,
since the diamonds are under board
control. The American Baseball
Association will meet at the Lin
coin May 1926, but Kilgore has
been advised" by park commits
sioner mot to be seen at the gath
ering."

HOOVER VIEWS
ON PROHIBITION
PUZZLE CAPITAL
BY NATHAN ROBERTSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 19. W.H-
President Hoover's private views on
prohibition, after year spent in
a position where he observes its in
ner workings, were the subject of
much speculation today as observers
pondered two significant develop
ments.
These developments, giving un-
preeedentcd intimations that high
officials are not satisfied with the
results of prohibition were:
/. A declaration by George w.
Wickersham, chairman of the Pres
ident's law enforcement commission,
that it may be necessary to modify
the prohibition law to obtain "max-
imum abstinence"
9. Revelation by the senate lobby
committee of letter written by W..
II. Stayton, chairman of the board
of the Association Against the Pro-
hibition Amendment, expressing the
opinion, as result of conferences
with congressional leaders, that the
President is "beginning to doubt
whether prohibition can be enforc-
ed"
Wickersham's statement, made in
cautious language before the Amer
lean Society of Newspaper Editors,
was:
"To secure the maximum abstin-
cnce from the use Of liquor. it may
be found necessary to modify the
18th amendment or the national
prohibition laws.
Then Immediately he added:
81 express no opinion on that
point. That is fair field for dis
cussion."
Stayton's letter, discounted some
what because of its partial source,
also was studied with considerable
interests. The letter written re-
emily to one of his associates,
said in part:
"My own feeling is, as | talk to
senators, members of congress and
public officials here, that Mr..
Hoover is beginning to doubt
whether prohibition can be en-
forced"

Lieutenant Harold Bromley, plan
ming nonstop flight attempt from
Tacoma, Wash, to Toxic, Japan,
sometime during the next month,
was here today to oversee final de
tlils in construction of the locked
Sirius monoplane which he will use
ON the Pacific hop.
The aviator, who arrived from FL
Paso, Texas, last night, said his
giant ship will be ready for test
flights about May /. He plans to
give the plane its first tuning above
the Mojave desert, and then to make
nonstop trip to Tacoma.
The paine will get its hardes,
tests in the northern city, while
loaded to capacity and under al
possible conditions.
Bromley put another plan,
through its PAGES last year, in prep
araticn for the Pacific flight but
cracked up at Tacoma on the eve
Of departure.
The new ship is the same as tina,
recently made for Colonel Charles
y. Lindbergh, except that it's cock
pit has been built to accommodate
only one passenger.
Gasoline tanks have been built il
the wings, to give total fuel ca
pacity Of 9O4 gallons. Power is furn

RUSSIA MAKES
STRONG DISPLAY
AGAINST CHURCH
Offers Counter Attrac-
tiOns To Prevent Easter
Services
BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press Staff Corresponden

MOSCOW, April 19y-U.P)-Rus
sia's anti-religious forces gathered
today in mighty effort to eoun
teract the spiritual significance OF
Easter, and by lecture, theatrical
performances, masques and dances
to lure the new generation away
from the churches.
In contrast to the last few years
however, there was curtailment of
the open street demonstrations that
have provided wild and clamorous
discord to plague and harrass the
devout churchgoers. The govern
ment's orders are ,na; the church
people are not to be molested.
On the other hand, the "educa.
tional" propaganda against re-
ligion will reach its height stimuli
taneously with the climax Of the
orthodox festival
Special atheistic lectures will be
given. The theatres will give spe-
cial performances, while concerts
and other distinctions will be offer
ed throughout the city.
Special all night dances and
movie performances, beginning at
midnight are counted upon Turing
young people away from the church
services tonight and tomorrow.
Workers are urged not to attend
church, and above all not to desert
their jobs. Parents are subjected
to bombardment of literature tell
ing them they must make their
children attend school on Sunday.
Yet, while the antireligious cam
paign was gathering speed, mil,
lions of believers were entering
Moscow churches and churches
throughout the soviet republic
with all the fervid faith of the
past.
Before revision of the soviet cal
endar, Easter was legal holiday
in this country. Now it is an ordi-
nary working day. 'rens of thous-
ands, however, are expected to re-
main away from their jobs.

Naval Compact Approx

AMERICAN VICTORY
Agreement Makes No
Reference Whatever To
League OF Nations
BY WEBB MILLER
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, April l9.--U.P)-The
1880 naval arms treaty, already ac-
cepted in it's entirety by Japan and
in the hands Of other powers for
approval, was completed today and
awaiting signature next Tuesday.
The preamble has been drafted
after much discussion, and consti-
tutes a victory for the United
States in that it does not mention
the League of Naions but does re-
fer to carrying on the work begun
by the Washington conference.
The draft of the preamble begins
with the names of the five powers
participating, who, it says:
Desiring To prevent the danger
and reduce the burden inherent in
competitive armament, and desiring
to carry forward the work began
by the Washington naval confer
ence, and to contribute toward
achievement of general disarm-
ament, have resolved with view
to accomplishing these purposes, to
conclude "a treaty for further limit
alton of naval armament and have
accordingly appointed as their pie
nipotentiaries the names of the
delegates then follow, after which
the various chapters and articles of
the treaty are set down, numbering
five chapters and % articles.
One of the most important clauses
is the "safcguarding' section,
which provides that Britain, Japan
and the United Sta.es, whose auxil.
iary fleets are limited by the treaty
may build up to their needs if
France and Italy, whose auxiliaries
are not limited, start building in a
way regarded as prejudicial to the
interehts of any of the three big
powers. As explained by Senator
Joseph T. Robinson on Wednesday
the clause makes the following pro
visions:
"lf during the term of the treaty
the requirements of national secur
ity are, in the opinion of that
power, materially affected by the
new constructions by any nation
whose auxiliary program Is not lin
tied by the treaty, that power will
notify the other two of the amount
and kind of building it requires.
"Thereypon. those other powers
shall be entitled to make a proper
tionate increase in the same cate

SAN FRANClSCO, April ~. \U.H)
-Crumbling walls and burning piles
of debris marked today the spot

euvers which is drawing to a close
at Mather Field, Sacramento, was a
success last night and the enemy
spurred on by their victory planned
a further assault today--although a
more peaceful one.
Five mammoth bombing planes of
the Condor type, each carrying 1000
pounds of destructive Explosives"
descended upon the city during the
night under cover of darkness and
wrought havoc on the most strategic
defense of the United States Paci-
fic seaboard.

After completing its mission of
destruction the group of bombers
returned to Mather Field. The at
tack followed closely upon n patrol
