While the Moose baseball players sit back and take 1t easy on their high chairs, the Elks and Legion will tangle at 6:30 o'clock this eve ming at the City Park in a League contest.
 The lonesome Elks, usually in the cellar, will have an opportunity to secure company tonight, for win will tie them with the Vets at the .250 mark. Either of these out fits, if they have any championship aspirations, will have to start a winning streak in the next week or so. Otherwise it will be all Moose for the rest of the half.

Legion Smoker Tomorrow Night Promises to Be
 High Class Affair

With the American Legion smok- CT slated for tomorrow night, all of the fighters training in the arena quarters of the Legionnaires today put in the final touches to their conditioning and were pronounced in first class shape for the battles to come, The boys have really put in a hard session of training and have taken more interest in their condition than any bunch ever matched since the arena was es- tablished.
 Manila, who meets Soldier Olson in the main bout, is in almost perfect physical condition. He has worked against men of all weights during the past two weeks, trying for speed as well as power and en- durance Olson, who has done his training at Chilkoot Barracks, will arrive her sometime tomorrow. He is reported to have trained long and arduously and to have had lots of good sparring partner material to aid him.
 Unusual class is expected in al of the bouts. Weaver and Seman, who appear in the semi-final, are speed merchants. Fighting at 128 pounds, they should be able t0 travel through their five sessions at top gait without a single let down, unless one of them meets with

Women's Ready to Wear Firm in New Quarters
 in Triangle Building

Gordon's, Inc, yesterday opened it's new storeroom in the Triangle Building at the corner of Front and Franklin Streets, one of the finest quarters and most convent ent locations in the city.
 Owing to shipping delays, some of the fixtures were not received in time for the opening, said Mrs. Winnifred Jones, manager, but these are due here within the next few days. Rugs and other fix lures will be added.
 The firm opened with complete line of women's ready to wear goods. Additions to the stock, giv- ing a wide range for selection, are enroute here from New York, she said. These should all arrive with in the next week or ten days. Ma tionally advertised lines are to be specialized in, including millinery, Gold Stripe and Kayser hosiery, Klabo corsets and accessories, and all kinds of ready to wear garments for women.
 The new quarters are well lighted fronting on two streets, and to the natural light is added artificial light from an indirect lighting sys- tenn. The office is located in the rear of the room on a small bal cony. Three fitting rooms occupy the back part of the storeroom.

The proposed European federation
most ambitious project which has been
considered since the setting up Of the
League of Nations, will be far from the
close union such as exists among the
United States of America, according to
M. Brands memorandum. There will
even be little similarity between the
two groups, since the most that is
suggested for the European union Is q

The foremost practical questions such

themselves.

The success of the union rests upon
two organizations, European con-

The first would be q sort of deliberate
body charged with a study OF European
interstate problems. The second would
correspond somewhat to the council
of the League Of Nations. 1t would
be the executive instrument OF the
union.
Former Premier BRAND purposely
limited his suggestions, given out at the
foreign office today, to elementary de-
tails. He suggests that certain ques.
lions make closer coordination Of
European states necessary. He points
out that new economic problems, in
GLIDING customs matters. arose from
addition of about $4,000 miles OF
frontier to the nations Of Europe. He
suggests that the European union could
give its attentions to this important
situation.

ALL SIDES CHARGE

Davis, Grundy and Pinchot
Each Claims Victory
in Pennsylvania.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,

PHILADELPHIA, May 17.-Hurling
charges of corruption and excessive ex-
penditures, the Davis-Brown, Grundy
and Pinchot tickets in the Pennsylvania
primary for senatorial and gubernatorial
nominations wound up their campaigns
today with all the candidates hammer
ing away at each other like blacksmiths.
Tuesday the voters go to the polls to
make their choices after one of the finest
mud-slinging campaigns in the history
of the State.
All hands claim victory. Even the wet
ticket, with Francis H. Bohlen, Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania law professor, and
former Representative Phillips running
for Senator and governor, insists that
an eleventh-hour wave Of wet sentiment
will sweep its candidates into the lead.
This claim of the vets, however, is not
taken too seriously by the politicians
here. How can you win a primary, they
say, without organization?
Despite the public claims made by the
leaders in the various camps, they are
worried. No one here appears to know
for sure which way the cat Is going to
Jump. One proof of the uncertainty is
the lack Of betting. Little money is in

II organization counts, the balance
appears to favor the nomination Of
Secretary James j. Davis of the De-
partment of Labor, once an iron pud-
dler in Pennsylvania steel mills, over
Senator Joseph r. Grundy, millionaire
manufacturer and for many years head
of the State Manufacturers ASSocia-
ton. The same balance appears to
favor Davis running mate, Francis
Skunk Brown, in the gubernatorial
race. They are backed by the powerful
Republican organizations Of Philadel-
phia and Allegheny County. which in

This does not mean, however, that
Grundy Is without organization. Far
from 1t. Senator Grundy has been the
big money raiser in political campaigns
for years. He knows where to get 1t
and where to spend it. He has back OF

ports he has built himself real or

NEW YORK, May 17.-If plans
which have been in the making for
about two years materialize, scores of
banks in the United States will be
welded into State groups, each group
representing combined resources OF
from $loo,00o,OoO to $50o,O0o,0o0.
News of the proposed grouping leaked
out today, and the New York firm of
Pomeroy 8, Salmon acknowledged that
1t was organizing such groups in West
ern Pennsylvania and several other
States" The firms part in the nego-
ganizer, interesting individual banks
in the movement and bringing them
into touch with New York financial
interests able to underwrite the COM
binations. August Belmont & Co. was
mentioned as the organization which
would finance the Pennsylvania prof.
ect, but Morgan Belmont of that firm
said he was not prepared to make any
comment on the matter at this time.
Each bank will retain its individuality
and separate management, but in each
of the States affected a holding COM
pany will be created through an ex-
Slldllbc vi SUOCk Will Tile pdI1kS. ne
proposition is based on the theory that
such grouping will strengthen each
bank locally by giving it the support
through the holding company of every
other bank in the group. The State
groups will have no INTERPOLATION.
It could not be learned how soon the
work of the organizers might be ex-
pected to be completed, but 1t was said
at the Pomeroy & Salmon Offices that
a formal statement would be issued CIV
ing all details, as soon as progress Of
negotiations warranted. Ole.
1t was reported that the holding
company for the Pennsylvania banks
which 1t was believed might number as
high as so, would be known as the

Unconflrmed reports had 1t that the
exchange of stock between the holding
company and the individual banks
would be on the basis of class A con
vertible preferred non-voting shares OF
the holding company equal to the book
value Of the shares Of each bank, and
In addition class B voting stock for the
good will, based on earnings for the

TREATY LOOPHOLE
FOR GREAT BRITAIN
FEARED IN SENATE
Swanson Urges Notes to Pre-
cIude Disadvantage in
Interpretation.
BY THEODORE C. WALLEN.

An exchange of notes between the
United States, Great Britain and Japan
to close a 'loophole' in the London
treaty which might allow Great Britain
% big cruisers a year after the United
States reached its full treaty strength
of IS, according to the general board
of the Navy, Is under contemplation.
A proposal to that effect was made
by Senator Claude A. Swanson, Demo-
crat, of Virginia, to the Senators spon-
Soring the administrations ratification
effort. The Virginia Senator, a mem
Der of the foreign relations committee,
which Is holding hearings on the treaty,
said that, unless the treaty ambiguity"
on the point could be cleared up by an
exchange OF notes the Senate would
be justified in adopting a reservation
to safeguard the American position.
Expects Agreement Abroad.
The Senator said he had no doubt
that Great Britain and Japan would
readily agree with the United States
on an Interpretation of the treaty Sec
to permit the laying down in the last
three years of the treaty of 8-inch gun
cruisers to replace maturing 6-inch
gun cruisers.
Since Great Britain is allowed to lay
down cruisers for $3.50 tons of such
requirements falling due in 1887, 1888
and 1899, as against 14,100 for the
United States and $4,000 for Japan,
Rear Admiral Hilary P. Jones (retired)
has pointed out that the entire cruiser
ratio agreed upon in the treaty might
be upset in the absence of mutual
agreement to make requirements in
like units only.
A confidential analysis of the treaty
by the naval intelligence division, a
summary of which was obtained for
publication yesterday, stresses the fact
that the treaty, in authorizing the
powers to proceed with construction
for these requirements. fails to restrict
the new tonnage to the same kind Of
cruisers that are to be strapped.
Admiral Jones made the point that
while there could be no question of the
good intentions of the present British
government, no one could say what
might be the attitude of the govern
ment in control In England when this
replacement work was to be begun, in
1884.
Jones Outlines British Positions.
If France should 60 through with
her announced intention to have ten
8-inch-gun cruisers and Italy with her
determination to match France, Great
Britain might, with perfect propriety,
proceed to use the available replace
ment tonnage to build 6-inch-gun ships
instead of the 6-inch-gun ships in

ROCKET MOTOR
PIONEER KILLED
German Is Hurt Fatally as Piece
Of Engine Blows Out and
Hits Neck.
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN, May 17.-Max Waller, Ger
man pioneer In experiment and research
with rocket motors, was injured fatally
today while working on model Of a
new hquid-oxygen rocket.
A piece of the recol motor blew out
and struck Waller in the neck. His
jugular vein was severed. Two scien-
fists working with him at the time were
uninjured.
1t was Valier's ambition one day to
attempt flying the Atlantic with a
rocket airplane equipped with these
motors. He believed he could do 1t in
a few hours.
Waller, who was the chief German ex-
ponent of the rocket principles Of pro-
pulsion, last April 19 attained speed
of 80 miles an hour in a rocket car of
his own design, which he had equipped
with DR.. Heylandt's west pocket" rocket
motor. The car, with Waller at the
wheel, covered a distance of 2 miles,
which wa. believed to be a record for
rocket cars.

I picked up her coat and some other
stuff and damned them into a man

Later when questioned about the bull

ster denied that he had shot the
woman, although he had previously said
he had a gun and after shooting her
had thrown it in a clump of bushes
near the Sheridan gate of Arlington
Cemetery.

Brewster said that after placing Miss
Bakers body in the stream OF water
which flows through the culvert, he ran
the car to the triangle of the cemetery
road and abandoned 1t near some bill
boards and went to the rice pond on
the experimental farm of the Depart
ment of Agriculture where he washed
his hands and walked to his barracks
at Eighteenth and B streets.
The confession which is typewriter
consumes two and one half pages and
is direct statement by Brewster which
he said he made of his own free will.
Rice, who was one of the three wit
nesseS who saw a man struggling with
a woman in Miss Bakers car near
Seventeenth and B streets, said he
thought Brewster resembled somewhat
the man in the gray cap he saw in
the machine. The other two witnesses,

able to identify him. however.

.TRUJILL0 WINS BIG
VICTORY IN DOMINGO
By the Associated Press.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Re
public, May 17.-Incomplete returns
from the election yesterday indicate
that one of the heaviest votes in Do
minican history was cast, despite the
withdrawal of Aliancista candidates
and the partys manifesto urging its
members to abstain from voting.
Gen. Rafael Leonas Trujillo, govern
ment candidate for President, received
a great majority. H H. Lopez Penha,
secretary of the Junta Central Elec-
toral, said today he doubted that Fed
erico Velasquez, the Aliancista candi-
date, received 10000 votes out Of the
total of between 10000 and 200, 900.
No reports of election violence have
been received, although a couple OF
heads were smashed this morning as
result of post-election hilarity.

Doubtful at First.
The investigators frankly admitted
that the soldiers conflicting stories
were puzzling. At first all of them were
inclined to believe he was a mental
patient who was retailing Information
and facts obtained from newspaper &C
counts of the crime, but subsequent de-
yelopments caused some of them to pre-
dict that they are at last on the way tc
a solution of the murder mystery.
After q grueling inquiSition yesterday
Brewster dropped his nonchalant attl-
tude and became surly toward the de-
tectives and Department OF justice
agents.
when Brewster showed indications oi
breaking down under the ordeal OF re-
peated questioning, the investigators
suddenly stopped interrogating him and
returned him to the guard house in the
barracks of the headquarters company
to which he is attached at 18th and 3
streets. At this point he Is said to have
begun relating the details of a killing
in Connecticut in which he said he
participated.
Plan Mental Test.
In view of the soldiers conflicting
stories and his strange actions, arrange
ments have been made to have him ex-
amined by a pSychiatriSt. The exam
nation probably will take several days.
In the meantime the officials an
nounced they would make no effort to
question him further, although they
plan to resume the inquisition immedi-
ately after completion of the scientific
observation.
Some of the details of one of Brew
ster's confessions made in the presence
of and signed as witnesses by Lieut..
Edward j. Kelly, head of the homicide
squad of the Detective Bureau; Detec-
tive Sergt Walter Fowler and Capt. A.
r. Boiling, commanding the headquar-
tiers company Of the district OF wash
ington, were learned yesterday.
Brewster declared in this confession
that he had been drinking on the after
noon of April IL, and while watching
an amateur base ball game on one OF
the diamonds near Seventeenth and b
streets he saw a woman climb into
an automobile parked on B street about
the middle of the block between Fiji
tenth and Seventeenth and ap-
preached her with the greeting, Hello. "
II don't know you" the woman
answered, the soldier declared. In re-
ply he said
IT don't know you, but that's all
right"

With the woman protesting, Brewster
declared he half climbed into the car
and took a swing at her and missed
