the shooting that GodboIt had
hid in the shower bath during
the night.
The jailer said that when he
opened the main gate leading to
the cell tier at 8 o'clock this morn
ing, Godbolt jumped on him and
pinned both Of his arms behind
his back. He said during the strug-
gle Godbolt tried to get the cell

his right arm free, and, pulling
his pistol from his pocket, fired q
bullet into the negro's right side.

block Myrtle st. N. E.
Bennett took up pursuit Of shc
automobile at North Capitol and
I Sts., where the vehicle ran past
a stop signal. During the course
of the chase the policeman pulled
alongside the car. and when his
command to stop was ignored he
fired a shot in a vain attempt to
puncture a tire.
At Fourth and 1 Streets North

daredevil leap to the running

ignition Of the vehicle.
After a tussle, the policeman
succeeded in overpowering the
colored man, but only after he
suffered arm bruises, which ne

Three Eat Fish Bitten
By Mad Dog, Take
Pasteur Cure

JACKSONVILLE, Va, Aug.
1T may sound queer, but
three residents here are taking
Pasteur treatments because they
ate fish that had been bitten
by a mad dog.
It happened like this: A
man and his wife who owned
the dog went fishing. AS fast
as they pulled in a fish the dog
grabbed it. They thought he
was just being playful.
After they had cooked and
eaten the fish they noticed the
dog doing strange things. They
came to the conclusion that he
had hydrophobia.
Then they remembered the
fish. The dog was observed,
later killed and found to be
afflicted with rabies.
The man and woman and
another person who had eaten
the fish asked the health de.
partment what to do. The
Pasteur treatment was pre-
scribed.

HARBoR GRACE. Newfound-
land, Aug. 4 U.NS9.-Two crest
fallen aviatorS, who hoped to re-
capture the globe-circling speed
record. now held by the German
dirigible Graf Zeppelin. planned
today to return the wreckage of
their plane to New Yok.
tn monoplane in which John
Henry Mears and Henry N. Brown
hoped off from New York early
Saturday on a projected 15-day
world dash, cracked up into tan
gled mass without injuring its oc-
cupants at dawn yesterday while
roaring down the runway on the
second lap Of its flight. It's goal
was Dublin, Ireland, 1000 miles
across the Atlantic.
Mascot Terrified
OvereagernesS, darkness and a
punctured tire were summed to-
gether g the reason Of the disas-
ter, which scattered the Lockhead-
Vega machine capable Of 1876 miles
an hour over a wide radius. Both
men were extricated unhurt, but
close search of the wreckage
failed to reveal any trace Of the
Scotch terrier Tailwind II, a mas
cot loaned the aviatorS by Mary
Pickforu. It was believed the dog
jumped out of the plane and fled
in terror.
The fliers, who arrived here
from Roosevelt field, Long Island,
Saturday night were ready Cor
their long ocean hop before dawn
and despite advice to the contrary
decided on an immediate start.
At 1920 q. m. Sunday they climbed
into the cabin of the "City Of
New York" and prepared for the
hop off.
Field Was UnIighted
With the vicinity in darkness
and no lighting equipment in
stalled on the runway, gasoline
flares, automobile headlights and
similar improvisions were hastily
assembled to furnish all possible
lighting, and shortly the plane
started off.
Apparently its pilot realized
almost at once that his plane
would fail to lift before reaching
the end Of the runway, and he

SENIORITY To-

Red Tape Cut for Efficiency
Is Defense When President
Breaks Service Tradition

President Hoover has set the
entire personnel Of the Army agog
by ignoring the time-honored rule
Of seniority in the award of choice
high commands. it was learned
today.
The President has not only
passed over generals who, had
been groomed for important posts
by the General Staff. but he has
ignored the seniority rule so often
that the Army believes it has be.
come q settled policy of the Ad-
ministratiorl
The new policy is declared by
friends Of the White House to be
la the interest of efficiency cut
ting the "red Cape" of seniority to
get the best man.
Officials Are Gagged"
The Army is tongue-tied. Even
the highest ranking officers can
not openly take issue with the
tsConmard6f.in- Chief" But it is
declared IN Army circles that Con-
gressional hearings on Army mat
ters next winter will disclose op-
position to the Administrators
policies fully as keen as that of
the Navy General Board to the
London treaty.
Having been shocked by at least
four appointments of major gen.
erals, the Army now is buzzing
with excitement over the impend-
ing choice of a new chief Of staff
to succeed Gen. Charles P. Sum-
neral in the fall. The post of
chief of staff is doubly priced
since Congress provided that the
rank of full general goes with it.
Mai. Gen. Preston Brown,
deputy chief of staff. was under
stood to be groomed for the posi-
tion. He, however, has been
ordered to Panama in the fall.
Mai. Gen. John L. Hines, rank
ing officer, is out of the picture
because he had previously served
in that post. Maj. Gen. William
LaSsiter is second in line.
General Ely Popular
The President, however, it is
reported In high Army circles,
has decided upon Maj. Gen. Han
son Ely, now commanding the
corps area at Governors Island,
m. Y. While General Ely's ap-
pointment would upset the
seniority rule. it would be popu-
Lar with the Army.
Among the other major gen.
erals boosted for the post are
Douglas Macarthur, Malin Craig,
p. B. Malone and Frank Parker.
The policy of foregoing seniority
began when Mr.. Hoover selected
q new chief of Army engineers.
Brig. Gen. Herbert Deakyne, who
was assistant, was urged for the
post by Congressional powers in
rivers and .larbors matters. But
the President surprised the entire
Army by calling Maj. Gen. Lytle
Brown in from Panama.
In appointing Maj. Gen Ste
phen o. Fuqua to be chief of
infantry, the President raised him
from sixty-sixth in a list Of 73
colonels, an almost unprecedent
action.

ASK For Help.

Montgomery County is beginning to show

County Social Service League is modifying

Irene Shields, executive secretary Of the
league. which has headquarters in Rock
vile.
The league had not felt untowatd effects
until about the beginning Of this month,
Miss Shields said. but in the last few weeks
applications for help have been pouring
into the office. The surprising thing is that
the applicants are not asking for material
aid but for jobs--any chance to earn their
own way. Miss Shields said.
Miss Shields has asked that any person
in the county who has an opening. or hears
of an opening which would provide a job
for these applicants. communicate with the
league at once. that proper measures can
be taken. Most OF the applicants so far
have been laborers and skilled carpenters,
Miss Shields said. The women who have
applied are mostly houseworkers.
Material aid will be given persons who
require il. but the league is anxious to pro-
vide employment instead Of charity. believ-
ine this more helpful than the cartine OF
groceries and coal to the homes.
The sudden increase Of calls for aid is
believed to be caused by the disappearance
Of the savings Of workers who have refused
to ask aid until they exhausted every effort.
