D. A. R. RANKS:

Because Of the stand Of the
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton on the League Court and
national defense, Mrs. Carroll
Miller. a member Of chapter of
the organization in Pittsburgh,
has handed in her resignation.
This makes the second Daughter
to resign during the present Con-
gress because of the organiZa-
tons stand on the World Court
and disarmament.
Mrs. Miller is prominent
worker In the International
League for Peace and Freedom,
an organization admittedly
pledged to pacifiSt policies and
propaganda for the League Court.
Mrs. Lowell Fletcher Hobart,
president general, has not re-
ceived any official word Of the
designations. She explained, how
ever, that this is not strange, as
the members resign to the regent
of their chapters and not to the
president general.
Commenting on the resigna-
tions. Mrs. Hobart stressed the
point that Mrs. Miller is mot an
important member of the D. A. r
but a prominent worker in the
League for international Peace
and Freedom"

Mystifying Addresses
Are Barred By
PoStoffice

The Postoffice Department
today put a ban on the grow
ing practice of sending cryptic
addresses to alleged we'll
known persons" in various sta
tions in life lust to see" If
they would reach the person
for whom intended.
Department officials said the
enviable reputation of postal
employees for their patient per-
Sistence in deciphering the ad-
dresses on mail has led some
persons to place freak" ad-
dresses ON such letters. Such
So-called addresses consist Of
refuses or symbols of various
kinds, more OF less suggestive
of the name of some person
constantly in the newspapers.
The formal order said that
letters bearing such cryptic ad-
dresses are not definitely and
sufficiently addressed. as re-
quired by the postal laws, and
consequently are not acceptable
for mailing and should be re-
turned to the sender, if known.
Otherwise they are to be treated
as dead" mail.

CLOTHING Clue
IS DOUBTED

Headquarters Detectives c. J. P.
Weber and Howard Ogle last
night attempted to locate a col
ored man who claims to have
seen a Government employe whom
he knew, a married man living in
nearby Maryland, burning some
clothing near the scene OF the
murder.
The detectives interviewed a
colored maid in the home OF a
resident of Prince George county,
a friend of the supposed witness.
The Investigators said they were
inclined to discount Importance OF
this clue since the discovery OF
clothes of the murdered girl late
Yesterday afternoon. The muir
derer, however, may have at
tempted to burn some OF his own
blood-stained clothing, as he would
be afraid to take the chance OF
hiding that. ,
Another discovery which tenoeo
to shake police faith of the story
was the maids statement that the
colored man had attended a party
at which corn liquor was served
The maid added that he had been
drinking copiously also, when ne
told his story to her.
Despite these drawbacks, In
spector Shelby today said that the
clue would be followed out and
the investigation pursued until
the Government employe was
located and questioned. He is said
to be a married man, and has not
been at work since Friday.

HALE WARNING
POR ENDS
TROUBLE
Presidents Hopes for Quick
0. K. by Senate Dimmed by
Big Navy Mans Statement

President Hoover's hopes for
ratification of the London naval
treaty before the adjournment Of
Congress were at very low ebb
today.
Both Republicans and Demo
Gratis looked and listened atten-
lively as Senator Hale (R) OF
Maine, chairman of the Naval
Affairs Committee, hoisted the
first storm signal against the
pact of London. This signal
might be described as of the
warning variety which precedes
the hosting of more serious sig
nals-hurricane for example.
Calling attention to the we'll
established policy of the Coolidge
administration and the Navy gen
eral board not to build anything
except eightinch-gun cruisers, be-
cause this type is peculiarly
adaptable to American needs,
Senator Hale said the American
delegates at London apparently
have set this policy aside. He
said:
''This policy of the Congress
was insisted upon by the last
Administration at the Geneva
conference, and has been sup
ported by practically all re.
Sponsible naval opinion. II 1t
is to be set aside, the ad'
visibility Of so doing must be
demonstrated"
Congress, Hale said, and not

the makeup and maintenance OF
the nations naval defense.
that can't be lodged.
Presumably, Hale'S indicated
opposition to the treaty came as
no surprise to the White House,
for President Hoover had the
Maine Senator for luncheon the
other day as part Of his program
for smoothing the pathway to
speedy ratification.
The point pressed by Hale con-
corning eightinch gun cruisers is
not a new one.
At Geneva two years ago, and
ever since, the cardinal policy OF
the Navy experts has been to con-
centrate upon the large type
cruiser. Congress has authorized
nothing else in recent years.
Now, under the London agree
ment, the American Navy Of the
future is to consist of 18 Of the
large cruisers, totaling 10000
tons, and $4,000 tons Of lighter
vessels mounting six-inch guns.

An Artistic Demonstration.

Annually the parade of the firemen
of washington and the adjacent States,
which has become an institutional Tea
sure of Labor day. grows larger and
more attractive. Yesterdays display
was quite the best of all since the mod
est beginning in 1923. There were not
only more organizations in line, but the
individual expressions of artistic SYM
bolism were finer and manifested de-
veloprnent of taste and capacity for
demonstration. 1t was SHOW worthy
! hington and it fully rewarded
the thousands who thronged the line
OF march and remained until the end,
despite the intense heat.
These assemblies of the fire-f1ghting
forces of the Capital and the nearby
sections of the States make for closer
cooperation. Between the immediate
neighborhoods in Maryland and Vir-
ginia and the District there prevails o
practical reciprocity of service such as
that manifested last Saturday when
upon the sounding of a fifth alarm for
the fire at one of the Government
buildings nearby companies across the
boundary lines sent in their apparatus
without waiting for summons, these TAX

of the more distant fre-fghting units
that were represented in yesterdays
parade, as those from the Valley of
Virginia and those from West Virginia,
Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania. Nevertheless the Capital was
glad to welcome these companies, which
made brave display and added greatly
to the vividness of the picture of pre-
paredness against the common enemy.
In the designing and preparation of
the exhibits marked ingenuity has been
shown. A wholesome rivalry prevails
between the companies of the District
State sections. Probably even today the
participating companies are thinking
about next years show. having taken
notes Of yesterdays exhibition for ideas
and stimulation. The most gratifying
feature of this competition for the
Labor day parade Of the firemen is that
the work In the production of the ex-
hibits is all done by the members of
the fire companies.

LEGS" Diamonds Troubles.

When John, better known as Legs"
Diamond walked off the gangplank
from liner yesterday at Antwerp he
was met by police inspector who told
him that he had instructions to ex-
anime his passport. Everything was in
order, and after some polite converse
ton Diamond was permitted to go on
his way, being headed for Germany, for
entry into which country his passport
bore visa. With the understanding
that Diamond was not altogether a sat-
isfactory person to be going around
Europe, the Belgian authorities notified
the Germans and under the escort of
Belgian gendarmes Diamond was at AK
la Chapelle turned over to the German
criminal police. Shortly afterward, in
reply to an inquiry, word came from
this country that the United States did
not want" Diamond in the sense that
he was fugitive from justice, but gave
warning that he was regarded as an
undesirable person. Now the German
officials are considering whether to turn
him loose and let him go on to the
cure which he claims to be seeking or
to send him back as one with whom
Germany desires no association. II
Diamond is returned to the United
States he may be denied admission,
though he is an American citizen, or.
If admitted, he may be arrested on sus-
picion. If rejected, as one who has
forfeited his citizenship, he may become
a chronic traveller back and forth upon
the seas, nobody wanting him, nobody
holding him, nobody noticing him be-
yond denying him admittance. But

nip in somewhere, perhaps right back
