BURNEY PROPOSES
ATLANTIC AIRLINE
Canada and England Should
Join to Beat U. S. and
Germany, He Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, August GA proposal that
Canada and England beat the United
States and Germany into the field o;
commercial transatlantic airship service
has been made by Sir Dennistoun Bur-
ney, designer of the dirigible R-100.
He outlined his proposal in an address
before viscount wilmington. governor
general; Premier Mackenzie King, r. B.
Bennett, premier-elect. and prominent
Canadian business men.
He asked that committee be APP
pointed at once to determine what gov
ernmental and financial support would
be available in Canada so that he could
submit a definite plan when he returns
to England.
AirAhips capable of carrying 100 pas
sengers and 10 tons of mail, with
cruising speed of IS miles per hour,
could maintain 2l2-day service on the
western trip and 2-day service going
east, he said.
. II provided with financial support and
assured long-term mail contracts, he
said. he was prepared to begin at once
the construction of the first of such a
fleet of airships
He said that If Canadian cooperation
were forthcoming service between
Canada and England could be installed
before the line being organized by DR..
Hugo Eckener for regular commercial
flights between Germany and the United
States Is placed in operation.

Open Doors 10 Homeless.
The homes Of the community opened
their doors to the homeless, and last
night practically every one was quar-
tered in some neighbor,s home. One
family moved into an old log cabin
which was said to have been unoccupied
for over @ score Of years.
Close on the heels of the fire fol-
lowed vandalism. Many families re-
ported that country hams, lard and
household effects had been stolen from
them after they had been rescued from
their blazing homes and carried to the
roadway. Men were soon on hand to
watch the effects, while much of the
salvaged household ware and foods
were soon taken to the homes of neigh
bors
One Of the freaks of the fire was a.
million feet of green lumber situated
In the center Of the roaring inferno
which did not yield to the flames. This
lumber stands today as monument
among ruins.
The j. Natwick g. Co. Lumber Cor
poration, owners of the immense guam
titles of lumber destroyed, stated that
there were 9,000,000 feet of seasoned
lumber destroyed, at loss from $780,
900 to $450,000.
On the loss the lumber company re-
ported that they carried insurance
amounting to little more than so per
cent of its value. Other business places
in the vicinity and dwellings were said
today to have sustained greater pro-
portionate losses, their insurance not
amounting to more than one-third of
the fire loss.
The prosperity Of this little Shenan-
doah Valley mountain town, located on
Back Greek, near the West Virginia
line appears today to have fallen. For
more than q decade of years the town
has been a thriving numbering center,
however, 1t was reported today that the
burned industries have little intention
of rebuilding plants at Gore. One resi-
dent Of the neighborhood pointed out
that nearly all the choice timber had
been cut and that the destruction of
the millions of feet Of lumber yester-
day ended this fertile industry.

SUIT FOR S5OO,OlO
INVOLVES AIRPORT
Washington Terminals Mis-
management Charged
by Funkhouser.

Alleging mismanagement Of the
Washington Air Terminals Corporation,
Robert FunkhouSer of 5315 Colorado
avenue yesterday filed suit for $500. 900
in District Supreme Court against
Hambleton & Co., 1921 K street; Fed
eral Aviation Corporation Of Dover,
DEL, and New York City, and the Safe
Deposit d Trust Co. of Baltimore, ex-
eeutor and trustee under the will of
John A. Hambleton.
Funkhouser says he owned 30 per
cent Of the stock of the United States
Air Transports, Inc, which, with its
subsidiaries, was profitable enterprise
which attracted the attention of the
late John A. Hambleton, with whom
he made contract to form the Wash
ington Air Terminals Corporation,
which stock was estimated to be worth
$3.50 a share. Within one year of
the consolidation, the court is told,
through the alleged acknowledgment a
loss of $118, 688.42 has been sustained,
and the holding of the plaintiff in q
profitable concern Is now represented
by stock in the new company, which
Is alleged to be worthless.
AS an example of alleged mismanage-
ment, the court Is told that instead OF
making use of all the facilities Of the
concerns. field large portion has been
utilized &s q dump for trash and the
net income from that purpose has
amounted to more than the net operat-
ing revenues for aviation activities.
Attorney Jesse C. Duke appears fol-
the plaintiff.

SERVICE IN CABINET
IS FORUM TOPIC
Secretary Davis, Who Served
Under Three Presidents,
Speaks Tomorrow Night.

Serving in the Cabinet Under Three
Presidents" will be the subject Of talk
by James j. Davis. Secretary of Labor
since March 4, 1921, next Thursday
night in the National Radio Forum,
arranged by The Washington Star and
broadcast over the coast-to-coast net
work of the Columbia Broadcasting
System.
Few men have had the experience
and distinction of being a cabinet OH
Ger under three Presidents, and this
great record seems all the more i'm
preSsive and colorful when 1t is re-
called that Mr.. Davis came to this
country as a poor immigrant boy.
. Appointed by Harding.
Secretary Davis was first appointed to
head the Labor Department by Warren
G. Harding. When Calvin Coolidge
succeeded to the presidency he pre-
vailed upon Mr. Davis to remain in his
cabinet. A similar compliment was
paid him when Herbert Hoover was
making up his cabinet. But in accept
ing the last honor Mr.. Davis did so
with the understanding that he could
be permitted to retire at the end of
year. When that time elapsed he
agreed to stay on a little longer, and
now that he has become the Republican
nominee for the United States Senate
from Pennsylvania, with his election
believed assured, 1t Is only q question
of month or so before he will leave
the cabinet.
During his long service in the cabi-
net MIR. Davis has been close student
not only OF things directly affecting his
own department but the entire Govern
ment. He has served during q colorful
and important period, and has carefully
noted all that has gone on.
Popular Public Official.
He has had opportunity to meet and
know well many of the most prominent
men and women in public life He has
been popular with the Presidents under
whom he has served, and he has held
their Strictest confidence. When he
retires from the cabinet he will close n
chapter in his life rich in "reminiscences
as well as experience and honor.
On the occasion of this radio ad-
dress Mr.. Davis will endeavor to tell
about some of his many interesting ex-
periences, as well as give first-hand i'm
pressionS Of the Presidents under whom
he served.
Secretary Davis has spoken in the
National Forum on several occasions.
and there Is no question about his wide
popularity with the radio public. He
has frequently been referred to as one
of the most popular radio takers in
public life.

s. Shelby, chief of the Detective Blu
reau, gave Murphy most of the credit
for the information which brought
about the arrest Of Davis and Beck a
few hours after the robbery.
Embrey was sighted by police last
night, but made q quick getaway. De-
tectiveS Charles Mansfield and Dan D.
Hughes of headquarters, working on a
tip that sEmbrey was in town and
would try to see a girl in Northeast
Washington, planted themselves near
the girls house and waited. Embrey
drove up in his new car but when
the detectives rushed him he made
his getaway, A short time later he
returned to the vicinity of the girls
house, but again made his getaway.
When arrested, Embrey wore an ex-
pensive brown Summer suit, panama
hat, new shoes, new haberdashery, and
some jewelry
At headquarters Embrey was ques-
toned by Detective Sergt. j. F. Flaherty
in connection with robberies over in
Lyon Village in which nearly dozen
houses were ransacked and loot valued
at $4,000 was taken.
Following the questioning he wan
booked at headquarters on q highway
robbery charge and was then locked up
Embrey Is said to have revealed that
he planned hold-up job here today or
tomorrow before getting out of town.
His money. he said was getting low
and he believed that. Washington de-
tectives would not be looking for him
here, but in Atlantic City, because of
the candy he sent Detective Murphy
from the seashore resort.
Both Embrey and Davis this after
noon said that Beck had nothing to do
with the robbery. They said that last
Friday morning they went to Becks
house to get him to lend them money
for gasoline for the automobile they
used in the robbery. Beck furnished
the money and said he would accom-
pany them on the ride. During the
whole time they trailed young Hyatt,
the bank gunner they said, Beck knew
nothing of their plans.
Both said they were willing to take
entire blame for the robbery, but did
not want to see Beck drawn into the
affair.
