Featured by the upset of several
favorites, the opening day of match
play in the second annual invita-
tional tournament at the Barbara
Worth club yesterday furnished
a number of surprises. chiefly III
the championship flight, where

vorite to win his match.
Several of the favorites fell by
the wayside and some of those who
had been expected to cause no
ripple in the tournament upset the
dope considerably
The second round is being played
at the club today, with yesterdays
winners seeking to narrow down
the field bit further by fighting

they had abandoned the blazing
steamer, were transferred to the

LEAGUE PROGRAM
MODELLED TO FIT
AMERICAN IDEA
British Policy At Geneva
Offsets Claim Of DOu-
BILE Crossing By Britain.
By ED l., KEEN

Vice-President of the United Press
Copyright, 1882, BY United Press
LONDON, March II. = The
League CT Nations program to end
warfare and conflicts in the Far
East is under way despite a delay
asked by Japan today and it Is
modelled to fit the pattern of the
American Far East policy, in the
opinion of informed British
leaders.
That program, it was pointed
out, left America and not Great
Britain initiating sometimes eco
nomically distasteful plans and
policies: it held the league to ac-
tion it knew the United States
would support; it prevented smaller
powers from forcing the league
into some move the United States
would not support.
The British credited the pro-
gram to the cautious policy of
Great Britain as formulated in the
keen legal mind of Sir John Simon,
one of Great BritainS most bril-
liant attorneys. He advanced it in
the league assembly resolution
Monday.
The result of that British policy
at Geneva, it was felt by many,
was to offset the feeling among
scme Americans that Great
Britain was double crossing"
America. This had been en-
couraged by British caution in
supporting policies set forth at
Washington.
Sir Walter Layton, the econo-
mist, indicated to the United Press
today his belief that the absence of
the United States from the League
of Nations, to which Britain has
assumed obligations, is responsible
for much of what appears to be
lack of complete Anglo American
cooperation.
Letter Clears Air
Secretary Stimson's letter to
Senator Borah cleared the air to
some extent" he said, but even
now it is not clear what might
happen if the league invoked sane
tions. That has .peen so driven
into the British consciousness in
the past 10 years that it has Gre
ated feeling-not of mistrust, be-
cause they are convinced the
British government is determined
to cooperate with the United
StateS-but a feeling of uncer-
tainty over how to cooperate with
the United States and know eX-
actly what the United States might
do under any given circumstances" "
The draft resolution framed by
the league assembly for settling
the Far Eastern question was in
terpreted here as placing the
league, with only the possible ex-
ception of Japan, squarely behind
the Washington policy.
A survey of British public opin-
ion indicated today that there is
not widespread interest and feel
ing on the matter as might be
supposed.
The majority of the thinking
population is preoccupied, firstly,
with the domestic economic and
financial situation; secondly, with
the European situation on repara-
tions and war debts, and thirdly,
with India. For fourth place in
interest, China is about on par
with the Oxford Cambridge boat
race next week.

LA CUARDIA TO
LEAD FIGHT ON
REVENUE BILL
Liberal Group Planning
Battle To Defeat Sales
Tax Feature.
By THOMAS L. STOKES

WASHINGTON, March II. =
Representative La Guardia (Rep)
New York, announced today that
a liberal group in the house had
organized to fight the $595 ,000, 900
sales tax proposed in the new rev.
enue BILL
La Guardia predicted defeat of
the sales tax and formulated "a
substitute for it.
'It is my opinion after personal
conferences with my colleagues in
the house that the sales tax fea-
ture will be eliminated from the
BILL the New Yorker declared
After very careful consideration
of the bill, I can state on behalf
of the Progressives that they are
all opposed to the sales tax"
The Progressive group which
La Guardia dominates in the
house numbers only a small group
in each party, but the little New
Yorker has a way of rallying sup
port to his causes. He will have
the support of many Democrats
who have announced their opposi-
ton to the sales tax
He said he would announce later
his substitute program designed to
raise about $400,0O0,0OO. Revenue
from the manufacturers tax is
estimated at $685., 100000. His pro-
gram thus will fall somewhat short
of the amount which the treasury
said is necessary to balance the
budget. Luxury taxes will be in
cluded, the New Yorker said, but
he declined to reveal any further
details.

Capt. William N. Lancaster,
British flier and war hero, to-
day started on the first leg
of a journey more hazardous
than any of his ocean or cross
country flights.
1t carried him from his cell
OF the Dade county Jail to the
defendants chair in Circuit Court.
There he will be tried on a
charge of numbering Haden
Clark, fiance of Mrs. Jessie M.

aviatriX and LancaSter's COM
panion and business associate for
five years.
If the State has its way, Ian
casters journey will end in the

Fail to Delay Trial
Motion of defense counsel for
continuation of the trial was de-
MED today by Circuit Judge H. F.
Atkinson. The motion was based
on the absence of DR.. Percy L.
Dodge. an expert defense witness,
who is ill.
Carson pleaded the Importance
of Dodge's testimony as an au-
tnority on the effects of haSheesh,
an oriental drug to which Clarke
was allegedly addicted.
Killed April 20
Clarke was shot to death with
Lancaster's pistol the night of
April 20 at the Keith-Miller home,
where Lancaster, Clarke, and Mrs.
Keith-Miller lived.
Clarke's death ended a three
sided romance. It began when
Clarke undertook to write for
Mrs. Keith Miller, and under her
name, book dealing with the
famous woman's flights and
escapades. The young writer
he was 26-came to live with
Mrs. Keith-Miller and Captain
Lancaster.
Pistol Under Body
Clarke's body was found on the
sleeping porch there, a bullet
through the brain. Lancaster's
pistol was found under Clarke's
body.
The State will contend that
Lancaster, frenzied with jealousy
when he learned that Clarke had
won "Chubbie's" affections from
him. purchased a pistol in st.
Louis, flew post haste back to
Miami, waited until Clarke was
asleep and shot him to death,
then forged notes in the hope to
make it appear suicide.

This evidence is in addition

POLICE LAX|TY
ADMITTEDLY
D. c. HEADS
Influx of Bonus MarCherS
Is Blamed For Failure to
Enforce All City Laws

The District Commissioners
today admitted that President
Hoover was accurate in his
statement that the laws of the
District Of Columbia had not
been enforced in connection
with the recent B. E. F. in
vasion, but affirmed that in
the future there would be no
let-up in vigilance.
The admission came after a con-
ference between the Commission.
ers and Brig. Gen. Pelham D.
Glassford, police superintendent,
over the Presidents letter to the
Commissioners and the order of
the Commissioners ordering police
to keep out people coming here
for any unlawful purpose.
Too Heavy Load on Police
DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer,
president of the Board of Com
missioners, said that due to the
heavy load put on the police dur
ing the past few months by the
bonus marchers, the department
had not functioned as it should
in regards to the District laws.
He added that since the bonus
menace was passed police would
be more attentive to regulations
in the code.
DR.. Reichelderfer, when asked
If the police had not been en-
forcing the law. said:
They could not. While the
bonus army was in Washington
there was tremendous load on
the department and some viola
tiOnS of the law had to be
overlooked. In future, however,
the police will be on the job
and the code and police regu-
1atiOns will be enforced to the
letter."
Must Contact Inspectors
General Glassford, leaving the
conference, said he was still in
the dark as to just what the Com
missioners meant in their order.
He said he had issued an order
which would go out today to all
precinct commanders in territories
on the border of the District, ad-
ViSing them that where they had
a problem in connection with the
enforcement to contact their in
Spection district commanders.
Where the inspection district
commander is unable to clarity
the order, GlaSSford himself is to
be contacted, and if he is unable
to solve the problem, the matter
will be put up to the Corporation
CounSeIs office.
The Commissioners themselves
admitted they were unable to in
terpret the full meaning of their
order and indicated the Corpora
tion Counsel would be asked to
make an immediate ruling.
