JURY BREAKS WILL
AFTER LENGTHY TRIAL
Three Objections Made by Elk
cluded Relatives Sustained
by Court.

The will of Mrs. Anna DAILY, who
died July last at the age of S6 years,
was broken today by jury in Circuit
Division / before Justice Siddons, after
q trial lasting three weeks. The jury
sustained all three objections against
nephews. who had been excluded from
participation in the estate. They
charged that the will and two codicils
were not executed in due form OF law,
that Mrs. DAILY lacked capacity TO make
q valid will and that the execution OF
the paper writings were procured by
undue influence.
The will had named Joseph I. Weller
and DR.. j. Franklin Hilton as execu-
tors and gave DR.. Hilton, nephew,
about two-thirds of the estate, which
was valued at 100000.
The opponents of the win were repre-
scented by Attorneys e. Hilton jackson
and Godfrey L. Munter, while Attorneys
Joseph A. Burkart, George o. Offutt,
jr., and Ross II. Snyder appeared for
the executors.

Emmett Hicks was arrested In 1922
by Headquarters Detective Bill Messer,
who was concealed in an apartment
and trapped Hicks when he was alleged
to have attempted to burglarize the
place.
A man of the same name was re-
arrested in 1925 by police of No. pre-
cinct on a charge of HOUSEKEEPING.

August IS, 1928. He landed on an apart
ment house at Third and E streets. He
has made more than 275 official para
chute jumps, by far the greatest num-
Der credited to any one man In the
naval service.
A native of this city, Scott has been
in naval aviation since 1920 and has
specialized in parachutes and jumping
almost continuously during his 10 years
of service Though he has jumped I'M
der all sorts of circumstances, he was
injured but once, when he sprained an
ankle while landing in a strong wind
at Logan Field, Baltimore.
Scott had narrow escape from death
by drowning as result cf parachute
jump made at Hammondsport, NJ Y,
several years ago to test a new rubber
suit designed to keep jumper afloat
after a landing in water, He made the
Jump from 1000 feet from Navy plane.
When the parachute snapped open the
suit was ripped down the back. He
landed safely in the water, but the torn
suit filled Immediately and dragged him
under. Several times he rose, only to
be dragged under again. He was on the
bottom when rescue boat arrived and
only the fact that he had kept on his
parachute harness and the light silk re-
manned floating on the surface saved
him. He had been in the water six
minutes when pulled up.

SEWERASSESSMENT
REDUCTION URGED
Operative Builders Advocate
$1.60 Per Front Foot
Instead of SO.

A reduction in the assessment on
sewer mains from So to $3.50 front
foot, was urged by committee repre-
senting the Operative Builders Associa-
ton at a conference today with Col.
william B. Ladue, Engineer Commits
sioner, and Capt. Hugh Dram, Assistant
Engineer Commissioner.
The committee, pointed out that the
present SO assessment which has been
in force for the last three years, con-
stitutes burden on prospective home
owners, in view of the growing develop
ment of detached and semi-detached
homes, which require larger lots.
No objection was made. however, to
a provision in the 1881 District appro-
priation bin increasing the assessment
on water mains for So to So a front
foot.

HOOVER MESSAGE
II URGES TRAVEL
Chief Executives Views Are
Presented at Opening of
A. A. A. Conference.

Travel as a means of promoting in
ternational peace and better under
standing was urged today by President
Hoover in a message read at the open
ing of the four-day conference of the
clubs of the American Automobile As
ISOLATION at the New Willard. An
other feature of the initial meeting was
the address of Alfred Reeves, general
manager of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, in which he
warned the organization against don't
mindedneSs."
Text of Presidents Greeting.
Mr. Hoover's message was as follows:
81 send you my cordial greetings and
my best wishes for an inspiring and
fruitful conference. Travel promotes
international understanding, a larger
vision and peace, and in the expansion
of travel the service of the automobile
and of your association plays an inn
portant part"
Motor transportation" Mr.. Reeves
stated, "is in danger of being strangled
by the don't-mindednes which afficts
too many public officials. Don't-minded
people have run amuck during the past
several years in the desire to punish
all innocent motorists for the sins of
the guilty"
Reeves Hits Parking Laws.
Pointing to the fact that individual
transportation has given every man a
better control of his own destiny" Mr..
Reeves declared that "cities have taken
away the wagon sheds and hitching
posts of the horse-drawn age and then
would cure parking by the device of no.
parking"
He said that special situations will,
undoubtedly, make limited parking a
necessity, but no motor club should
permit the dangerous principle of park
ing prohibition to be put into effect.
Warning of another danger, that of
diverting motor taxes for a score of
purposes other than building roads, Mr.
Reeves continued:
Just as various forces are tending
to rob the motorist of his privilege OF
stopping at the curb while in the course
of his business errands, so we find va
riouS public officials eager to increase
motorist taxes and divert them to
sources other than highways"
Other speakers included e. st. Elmo
Lewis of Detroit and F. Roger Miller
general sales manager of hotel chain
Vincent Massey, Canadian Minister
to the United States, and Jose Miguel
Bejarano, member of the Mexican Ma
tional Tourists Commission, were speak,
ers at luncheon Immediately after the
morning session. Senior Don Luis Ouin.
tanilla of the Mexican embassy and
