The disconcerting thing about our first

better dressed than most Of us. He was sar-

embarrassment into the situation. We stood
around him in a ring and stared. He stared

less than "a hours from an
1S,OOO4hile tour. which embraced
three continents and involved
two transatlantic crossings. the
giant dirigible Graf Zeppelin was
being groomed today for new
conquests of time and space.
Within a few weeks the huge
dirigible will start on the first of
q series of summer cruises, most
of them over Europe. At least
two sea trips will be made. one
to the Canaries and the other to
the Cape Verde Islands.
A thorough investigation of
the giant craft showed that it
had suffered no i'll effects from
the tricontinental journey. which
ended when the Graf returned
here last evening, three weeks
after the start.
Passengers who made the re-
turn trip from Pernambuco and
LakehurSt. N. j., by way of Sc.
vile, described the terrific storms
which delayed the Zeppelin for
many hours on the home Jour
ney. The Graf ducked storms
and buffeting winds all the way
across France and Switzerland
after being delayed more than
IL hours in reaching Seville be-
cause of bad weather off the
mainland. The Travellers said
the storm over the Rhole Valley
was the worst the Graf had ever
encountered.
At times the ship was forced
down to within 400 feet of the
earth, the next minute being
shot toward the skies at light
ming speed. Tables and dishes
we're hurled around the cabin in
hopeless confusion, but none Of
the passengers was any the worse

SENATE, DENIED.
DATA, SILENT
Times Staff Photo

An ominous silence prevailed
today among Senate opponents
of the Naval treaty concerning
Secretary of State Stimson's re-
fusal to submit to Chairman
Borah, of the Foreign Relations
committee. secret documents and
data on the London conference.
Stimson flatly refused to give
the committee what Senator
johnson (RD. of California.
wanted, but sent along data con-
cerning the Geneva conference
of 1927 and some other selected
data.
Hoover's Orders
Acting under instruction Of
President Hoover, Stimson based
his refusal on a fear that dis
trust of the United States might
be engendered among the powers
in future conferences if the con-
fidences" at London we're dis
closed. 1t would be incompatible
with the public interest, Hoover
has decided. Stimson said:
There have been no con-
cealed understandings in this
matter, nor are there any COM
mitments whatever except as
appear in the treaty itself and
the interpretive exchange of
notes recently suggested by
your committee, all of which
now are in the hands of the
Senate"
Nonsense, SayN Stimson
In a formal press statement
Simpson characterized as non
sense" charges that there were
secret understandings.
He bolstered his refusal with
precedents established by Pres
ident Washington and cited
President Harding's refusal tn
give the Senate secret data bear
Ing on the negotiation of tbs
! four power Pacific pact of this
Washington Arms Conference in
1922, as being incompatible with

amazed that so many are inter

Originally, the elder Dougherty
claimed the $4,000. In some
way brother Danny" was 'cut

father and the two sons agreed
to split the money three ways,

get the check.

GENERAL
TAKES SPILL

One of the first "heat pros
trations" of the year occurred
yesterday in Stanton Park, when
the four half-inch bolts securing
the mounted figure of Gen.
Nathaniel Greene snapped at the
base and the statue toppled from
it's pedestal, burying the general
in the dry soil up to his chin
head first.
The statue was originally held
by six brass bolts. Three were
through the horses front hoof
and three through a rear. Two
of the bolts in the rear hoof
broke long ago.
Examination of the statue
showed that it was not damaged
by the fall and the only expense
will be putting the statue back
on its pedestal.
The statue was executed by
Henry K. Brown at a cost Of
$4,000 and was placed in the
park in 1879.

ALWAYS GOOD

Can't Believe Police Tale, Nor
Aid Hunt for Slayer, She
Says, Sobbing in Morgue
BY MARION CARTER

NEW YORK, June 7 UN.S0
"She was so good. so thoughtful
toward me-surely my Anna
didn't turn out this way"
Thus Sobbed a gray-haireo
mother as she was asked to iden
tify her "own little girl" as Anna
Urbas, the same woman police
knew as a hard-boiled gangland
queen.
Past Her Belief
Mrs. Margaret Urbas, gentle
unworldly mother of the flashing
gunman's "moll," could not be-
1ieve yesterday that it was her
own daughter police had identi
fled as the murdered woman who
knew and told too much of gang
feuds.
In the bleak surroundings of
the city morgue, she listened in
horror to the report made to her
by police.
They told her Anna Margaret
Urbas had been bound with cop
per wire, weighted with iron and
flung still breathing into the
Harlem River to keep her from
telling incriminating truths.
@ Just Couldn't Be
And the small, eminently re-
spectacle woman with a sweet,
intelligent face, who had lived
most of her life in a West Vir-
ginia village. stared wide-eyed
and horror-stricken at the thought
and pleaded:
GLOW could she have done
such things:" she said. "Why
didn't she tell us about it?
Why didn't she tell her sisters
If she didn't want to tell me
or her father? We never
dreamed of such a thing.
"Anna lslways said she was
doing we'll when she came to
see us. She never mentioned
any men to us. We thought
she was working, as she did
when she first went to New
York"
If during those last days when
she knew swift. silent death
waited her at any turn Anna
wrote her mother a letter
naming the man who would kill
her, as she told Eugene Moran'S
father she had, her mother never
received it.
Helpless to Aid Police
She was unable to tell the po-
lice anything about such letter
She said:
Had I received such a letter,
of course I would have gotten
in touch with the police right
away"
Mrs. Urbas is a stoiCal mother
She has not wept much despite
the ordeal through which she
has had to go.
She has borne nine children,
three of whom died in infancy.
She sighs and says:
cit is hard to have this hap
pen. No one knows how hard
it is"
