WASHINGTON, April 18. = The
Hoover administrations Irritation
with -prohibitionists is now
taken to foreshadow a major shift
in the Republican party's attitude
on the liquor issue.
One of the most significant in
dications was the declaration by
Secretary of Agriculture Hyde, the
dryest cabinet member, in favor of
resubmission. Hyde will urge the
Republican national convention to
adopt the Missouri plank" urging
reconsideration of the 18th amend
ment by a national constitutional
convention restricted to that one
issue.
Hyde is credited with part in
working out the Missouri plank. 3"
AS head of the Missouri delegation
to the national convention, he is

Famous Old Fire Trio Gone
ONLY TOM LEFT TO PARADE ON LABOR DAY.
RADE ON LABOR DAY.

I'm the happy hustle Of preparation
for the firemen's parade next Labor
day one doleful note has crept in
i Barney. Gene and Tom will no
longer be pulling an Old coal-fired
engine.
These three dappled grays, the last
survivors Of the age when the firemen
did their stuff behind real instead of
synthetic horsepower. always got big
hand as they pranced down the parade
line drawing their old-fasbioned pumper.
It has been for years tie one break in
the monotony of their existence at the
Home for the Aged at Blue Plains.
Next Labor cay, as far as can be seen
now Tom will be there, but he will be
flanked by two bay horses. His friends,
Gene and Barney. now Craze on ambrosia
instead of cats and listen in vain for
the shrek of a fire siren above the
sounds of the heavenly harps. or for
the discord of a fire bell above the
harmony of the angel chorus.
There is an uncCnfirmed report that
when they passed on, these two old fire
eaters did their best to get into more
suitable cline, where, they had heard,
there is no end of fire. Old Charon,
however. looked over their records, and
finding them pure whit, reSretfully. de-
clined them transportation. He had no

NEW TRIAL is SOUGHT
FOR SENTENCED RIOTER

Arguments for new trial for Bernard
Mccoy of Chicago, who was sent to jail
for alleged participation in the recent
B. E. F. rioting, will be heard by Judge
Ralph Given Of Police Court this after
noon.
Mccoy was sentenced to 25 days in
Jail when Judge Given convicted him
of diSorderly conduct on July %, the
day after the rioting. He is alleged to
have pulled off Gen. Pelham D. Glass
fords police badge and in addition
faced charge of assault with dan
gerous weapon. He is said to have
struck a policeman On the head with a
piece of marble, seriously injuring him.
Jesse C. Duke, who was secured to
represent the jailed bonus marcher,
charges that Judge Given sent Mccoy to
Jail without giving him an opportunity
to get an attorney or appointing one
fer him. In addition, he claims that
the defendant was not given an oppor-
tunity to summon witnesses.

Carroll Landvoight, 18. of 1907 A street
southeast.
Among the dogs reported sick were
Dot, sired by famous collie in the ken
nels of Albert Payson Terhune, noted
writer of dog stories, and owned by
Mr. and Mrs. Martin Dyer, 1908
Eighteenth street southeast, and Peggy,
a police dog owned by George Ekstedt,
118 Eighteenth street southeast.
Several other dogs in the same Sec
ton also were reported to have been
sickened, and one of them was taken
to the Rescue Leagues headquarters
last night by Landvoight. He was said
to be out Of danger this morning, as
were the Dyer. and Ekstedt pets.
All the dogs became sick at about
the same time, according to residents
of the neighborhood, and the symptoms
were similar in each case. The theory
they were deliberately poisoned was
strengthened by the fact several of
them were kept in the. yards of their
owners
Residents Of the neighborhood re-
called that a similar outbreak among
dogs occurred three or four years ago,
resulting In several deaths.
Fourth precinct police were asked 10
assist in the investigation.

CAPITAL WILL SEE
SHOOTING STARS IN
HEAVENS TONIGHT
Annual MeteoriC Display Ex-
peCted to Be Larger
Than Usual.
DUE AFTER MIDNIGHT
WHEN MOON GOES DOWN
Majority of Perseids, Known for
1,100 Years, No Larger Than
Wheat Grains.
This will be a night of shooting stars

This will be night Of shooting stars
Some time after midnight, astrono-
mers predict. the earth will pass into
the stream of the Perseids. This Is a
vast elliptical ring of particles of cosmic
dust and stones. two or three billion
miles long and about 50,000,000 miles
wide
Every Summer about August II the
earth on its long swing around the sun
runs into the dense portion of this ring
with the result that there has been an
annual display of meteors for the last
1,l00 years. Usually they have to COM
pete with the moonlight but this year
the moon sets about midnight The
indications are that the display will be
much more picturesque than usual.
Orbit is Comet Shaped.
The stream of the Perseids, astron-
omers point out, circles the sun in a
comet-shaped orbit. Actually the earth
remains in this stream for several days
but there seems 10 be a concentration
in one place when the shooting stars are
thickest. They average from IS to 20
an hour.
The great majority of the perseids are
no larger than gains of wheat. Some
are fairly large-siZed stones which leave
a trail of fire behind them as they
strike the earth's atmosphere. They
travel at a rate of about 200 miles an
hour When they strike the outer at
mosphere of the earth at this prodigiouS
speed they are set on fire by friction
This occurs in the extremely thin at
mosphere about 60 miles above the sur
face. They come from general north
east direction.
The chances are almost nil that one
of them will strike the surface. The
smaller ones are burned completely long
before they get that low. Others, II
is probable, just skim the atmosphere
and are carried out of the earth's orbit
There is always the bare possibility,
however, that one of the larger ones
might crash in thickly populated ter
ritory, causing considerable damage.
Meteors, for no particular reason, have
habit Of falling in remote places.
Public to Aid Count.
An appeal to the public to count the
number of shooting stars has been
made by Dr.. Charles P. Olivier Of the
University of Pennsylvania, foremost
authority on meteors. The counts
should be those of individuals and not
the combined observations of several
persons. They should be mailed to DR..
Olivier.
The American Meteor Society will try
to have reduced and published all
counts submitted The counts may be
continued, DR.. Olivier says, for the next
two or three nights while the earth is
passing through the Perseid belt.

Two Receive High Honor
CONGRESSIONAL MEDALS AWARDED NAVY MEN.

~ CONGRESSIONAL Medals of
Honor have been awarded two
American Sailors-16 years
~ after the incident in which
they distinguished themselves.
The awards to Comdr. Claud A.
Jones, now on duty at the Bureau of
Engineering Navy Department, and
Machinist Charles H. Wiley, retired, of
Pennacook, N. H., 1t was announced by
the Navy yesterday, are for their con-
duct during the wreck OF the U. S. S.
Memphis in a hurricane of Santo
Domingo City on August 20, 1916.
Comdr. Jones' citation reads: For
extraordinary heroism in the line of
his profession as senior engineer officer
on board the U. S. S. Memphis at
time when that vessal was suffering
total destruction from a hurricane
while anchored off Santo Domingo
City, August 29, 1916. Lieut.. Jones did
everything possible to get the engines
and boilers ready, and il the elements
which burst upon the vessel had de-
layed for few minutes, the engines
would have saged the vessel. With
boilers and steam pipes bursting about
him in clouds OF scalding steam, with
thousands of tons of water coming
down upon him. and in almost COM
plete darkness, Lieut.. Jones nobly re-
manned at his post as long as the en-
gines would turn over, exhibiting the
most supreme. unselfish heroisnn, which
inspired the officers and men who were
with him. When the boilers exploded
Lieut.. Jones, accompanied by two of
his shipmates. rushed into the fire
rooms and drove the men there out,
dragging some, carrying others to the
engine room, where there was air to be
breathed instead of steam"
Wiiley's citation states that he "re-
mained at his post of duty amidst
scalding steam and thousands Of tons
Of water coming down upon him as long
