DOME ETERRUN
At OLYMP|CS

LOS ELES. Aug. 2.
Amazed by yesterdays crowd
of more than $4,000 in the
Olympic stadium, games officials
prepared for another invasion Of
the big concrete bowl today with
such choice athletic tidbits as the
championships in the 800 meters
run and the broad jump offered
on the menu.
The lure of seeing the worlds
greatest Sprinters in action again
was also potent today in starting
a parade of spectators toward the
stadium. Thrilled by the hair
line victory of Eddie Tolan of the
United States over his team-mate,
Ralph Metcalfe, in the 100 meters,
the crowd turned avidly to the
preliminaries and quarter-finals
today in the 200 meters.
If form runs true in this race,
the United States will again have
three finaliSts in Tolan, Metcalfe
and George Simpson. But the
sturdy, driving legs of Arthur Jo-
nath, of Germany, fourth in the
100-meters final, may prove a po-
tent factor in the 200-meter race.

Pay the Bonus

Final payment of the
adjusted service certifi-
Gates now would do more
than help the millions of
veterans in their hour of
need.
1t would be of i'm
measurable benefit to the
country as a whole. 1t
would provide the neceS-
sary stimulus to trade. 1t
would start the butcher,
the baker, and the candle
stick maker back to work
to supply the purchasing
demands of the millions
who would receive the
money direct.
Those aims could and
should be accomplished
now. Why wait until
1915?

BOY FINDS $50,
SPURNS GIFT

Time was when, if a man did
anything crooked. it was news.
Now when one does anything
honest, that's news.
Consequently, the State Depart
ment calls attention to the fact
that a Panama boy, Ismael j.
Sousa, found $50 in United
States money and made a sincere
effort to return it to its owner,
an American army officer.
Perhaps, the real news is that
the boy refused a reward. But
Gov. Joan Antonio JimineZ, OF
the province of Panama, made a
speech in front of the boys
school in which he extended pub
lie thanks to young Sousa. The
boy is ten years old.
Governor Jiminez is graduate

ing the time he lived under Japa-
nese protection in the foreign
quarter of Tientsin.
Forgotten when Pu-Yi was
spirited away aboard a Japanese
warship to be thrust into the role
of president of the worlds newest
country, Miss Wan Stu took up
residence in a modest Peiping
hotel. A Chinese newspaperman
found her in financial straits.
She showed the reporter a

PEACE IN PLACE
Of POLICE RIFT

Friction in the Police Depart
ment over responsibility for a
drive on radicals Friday night, in
which veterans were taken in a
dragnet and 18 held, has been
smoothed out.
Inspector o. T. Davis, of the
Crime Prevention Bureau, told
Brig. Gen. Pelham D. GlaSSford,
superintendent, he did not initiate
the drive. but co-operated with
Federal authorities, as police in
structions require in such cases.
The instructions he cited as
bearing on the case were issued
by former Police Superintendent
Pratt in 1881 and read:
You will afford to such
agents of the Bureau of Immi-
grafton the fullest possible help
and cooperation in the dis
charge of their responsibilities"
Inspector Davis said a Secret
Service agent summoned him to
an alleged Communist meeting at
Fifth Street and Virginia Avenue
Southeast and in a church at
that address they found men "in
a high state of excitement"
About 68 men were present and
Davis said:
"The President of the United
States was condemned. The
Metropolitan Police Department
was ridiculed and threats were
made to overthrow law and or

CHICAGO, Aug. 2 GNSO -
United States Senator William E.
Borah. of Idaho, emphasized here
today that he is boiling President
Hoover this year because of the
economic program outlined by the
Republican National Convention,
as we'll as the prohibition plank.
He said:
81 don't think any more of
the Republican economic pro-
gram than / do of the prOhibi-
ton plank. At least the Demo
Gratis in their platform said
what they think. 1 couldn't
support Mr.. Hoover on the plat
form adopted"
The stormy debator was highly
critical of the Administrations
action in routing bonus seekers
from Washington with fire, bayo-
nets and tear gas.

no support whatsoever to the
National Republican ticket, Sen,
ator Borah said:
"I'lI support some part of it.
I will take part in my own
State"
Senator Borah passed through
here en- route from washington

SEN. KEAN ASKS
PAY BOOST BAN

Senator Hamilton F. Kean (R.)
Of New Jersey, has offered a
Senate resolution forbidding sal
ary increases and promotions of
Government employe during the
next fiscal year.
Senate leaders have taken the
position that the entire question
OF Government salaries and pro.
motions should be thrtshed out
by joint conference committees
Of the Senate and House, and,
therefore, there is little expecta-
tion that the Kean bill will be
reported. The Civil Service Com
mittee, of which Senator Kean is
a member, recently reported ad.
versely on the proposals of Sen
ator Borah for a general slash
in Government pay.
The Senate struck from the
Agricultural and Interior supply
bills a House provision banning
promotions and salary increases
in these executive branches for
the next year. This automatically
throws the controversy into a
conference committee and there
it will be settled within the next
week or 10 days.
