BAD WEATHER IN
EAST HANDICAPS
ECLIPSE PHOTOS
Scientists Obtain Little
Data AS Result Of
Heavy Clouds.
BY ALLEN MARTIN

United Press Staff Correspondent
BOSTON,, Sept. l. The last
total eclipse of the sun to darken
the eastern United States for 81
years was history today, history
that cost 40-odd scientific expendi-
tions an estimated $7,000,O00 with
varied results.
Some reported excellent success,
majority had only moderate luck,
and a luckless few felt they had
failed.
Clouds did the damage, spelling
months and even years of prepara-
ton. The clouds prevailed where
they had been least expected.
Broad expanses of blue sky delight
ed observers along the frequently
foggy seacoast.
The Franklin Institute of Phila-
delphia, making its observations at
Conway, N. H, the eclipse expedi-
tions' capital, had the biggest cam
era, the biggest army of workers,
and the biggest hopes. Its accom-
plishments, baked by a thin haze
that all but blotted out the eclipse,
were reported trifling.
A contrasting report was offered
at North Truro, Mass, by the only
expedition headed by woman as
tronomers. 1t was led by Miss Mar
garet Harwood of the Maria Mitch
ell Observatory of Harvard Univer-
sity. Her principal assistant was
Miss Marjorie Williams of Smith
College.
Both were confident their cam
era-telescope on 55-foot high AID
rich tower had recorded perfect
photographs of the corona.
Poles Get Good Place
The Polish University of Pozen
set up its equipment at Amesbury,
Mass, directly on the line of par
tial and complete eclipses. At the
time of totality it found the sun
and moon in the center of a blue
patch in the sky.
Wesleyan University's expedition
at Center Conway, N. H, reported
it had exposed 40 plates, but that

RESOLUTION BY
VETERANS FLAYS
HOOVER'S ACTION

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 1. W.P)-
After voting public rebuke to
President Hoover for calling out
troops to disburse the bonus army
at Washington, d. c., the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, in national con-
vention here, today gave its atten-
ton to more than 500 other resolu-
tions affecting the veterans.
The resolution characterized the
army,s use of charging cavalry,
drawn sabres, fixed bayonets, with
guns loaded and ready to shoot,
with tanks (whose use the United
States would prohibit in time of
war; against men with no arms,
men loyal to the United States, and
women and children weakened by
hunger and unemployment" as
wholly unnecessary, criminally bru-
tai, uncalled for and morally inde-
fensible."
! The convention refused sugges-
ton by Darol D. DeCoe, national
commander, that the resolution be
sent to committee, and demanded
an immediate vote.
Endorsement was also voted for
the so-called lame duck" amend
ment, and state legislatures were
urged to adopt the provisions of the
constitutional change retiring de-
feated members on January l in
stead of permitting them to return
for the spring sessions.
A proposal to put all national de-
fense under one head, with a sec
retary in the Presidents cabinet
was voted down when Rear Ad-
miral Robert E. Coontz, scheduled
to become next commander of the
V. F. W., took the floor against
the resolution and informed the
veterans that it was not feasible.

EQUALITY.

FRANCE CONSIDERS
Cabinet Discusses Memo

BY RALPH HEINZEN

united Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS, Sept France pegan
official consideration today of the
German demand for equality in
ornaments involving abrogation of
the Versailles peace treaty.
= Premier Edouard Herriot and his
cabinet discussed the German men,
orandum after the premier had con-
ferred with officials of the British
embassy.
The French were especially in
terested in reports, denied by the
British, it was understood, which
pointed out that such promise
would violate the recent Franco
British consultative pact.
1t was learned that Germany was
anxious to disclaim any suggestion
of an ultimatum, or even definite
claims to build certain ornaments.
Their object was said to be open
ing the way to Franco-German ne
gotiations which would enable Ger
many to enter disarmament con-
ferences on an equal basis with
other world powers.

EXECUTORS FOR
CRAWFORD FILE
CASH DEMANDS

LOS ANGELES, Sept. /. U.p)-
Claim for the $4,000 belonging to
the estate of the late Charles H.
Crawford, slain politician and al
legged to have been embezzled by
Liberty A. Hill, former chief deputy
county clerk, was filed with the
board of supervisors today by the
Union Bank and Trust company
executors of the estate.
The bank demanded the 1000
together with interest at the rate
of seven per cent from the time
the money was released as a court
exhibit and then discovered to be
missing from the safe deposit box
in which Hill had been supposed to
have been keeping it.
The formal demand related that
the money was first given to Dis
trict Attorney Buron Fits on
March 13, 1890 as an exhibit in the
criminal prosecution against Nor
ris Lavine, former newspaperman,
and Leontine Johnson, secretary,
who were convicted later on charges
of attempting to eXtort the money
from Crawford.
Technically, the demand pointed
out, the money was under care of
both Hill and County Clerk L. E.
hampton. 1t was expected that the
bonding companies of the two, Hill
being bonded for $4,000 and
hampton for $25,O0O, would be re-
quired to meet the demand to this
extent. The remainder must be
paid by the county if legal showing
is made by the estate, according to
the demand.

VOliva Adheres
To His Belief


ZION, ILL.,, Sept. II. U.Hl-"All it
proves is that when the moon gets

mer," said Wilbur Glenn Voliva

eclipse.
1T does not prove that the world
is round any more than did my
travelling around it, said the re-
ligious leader who contends the
earth is saucer-shaped and that if
one travelled to it's ice-bound Iim
he would fall off.
Voliya said his faith, or lack OF
it, in astronomers was not
strengthened because they pre-
dicted the eclipse to a second.
