With 106,07 votes tabulated in
the poll, 62,168 are from former

MUNICIPAL AIRPOR
CLEVELAND, Aug. %
QN.S.). - A pilots protest
over prize monye grew to
major proportions at the Ma
tional Air Races here today
while a heavy, general rain
falling from thick clouds COM
plicated matters to keep the
huge grandstands empty.
A grievance committee of pilots
headed by E. M. (Mattie) Laird,
Chicago plane builder, a non
contestant, and Benny Howard,
Chicago airnail pilot, racer and
designer, went to bat with the
contest committee over prize
money.
They demanded that this years
purse of $4,000 be raised to the
last year figure of $114,000 and
threatened to pull up stakes and
60 home unless the increase was
forthcoming.
Revolt discounted
Speaking for the race admin
istration. E. w. (Pop) Cleveland,
contest committee chairman, said
there was nothing that could be
done.
He pointed out that the races
we're operating on a $3.50, 900 bud
get this year as against budget
of 100000 a year ago. Cleveland
added that while the pilots were
protesting vigorously, he did not
believe they would make good
their threat.
The pilots, on the other hand,
insisted they we're ready to
''leave the races flat" If their
chairman, Laird, gave the word.
Howard and several of the
closed course racers were object
ing, too, about the distribution Of
prize money.
Derbies, Objection Point
They complained that the race
administration had allocated too
large a portion of the prize fund
for derbies and similar cross
country events.
If the rain which started early
today continues, all prospects of
a crowd which would ordinarily
fill the grandstand to watch the
finish of the Bendix Cross country
derby from the West coast would
be dashed.
Major Jimmy Doolittle won the
Bendix last year in his Laird Spe-
ciAl with a speed well over 200
miles an hour.
Merely Idling"
Doolittle, not in the Bendix
race this year, flew one Of the
Gee Bee ships from the Granville
Brothers plant at Springfield,
Mass. down here. He came at
better than 200 miles an hour
and said he was "idling' to break
the motor in. Doolittle plans
to fly this machine in the
Thompson race next Monday,
unless Russell Boardman. Of
transatlantic fame, who was to
fly it, RECEIVERS in time from
injuries sustained in crash
several weeks ago, a prospect
counted unlikely.
.Doolittle's Laird, which he re-
bGilt for this years races,
cracked up when the new fold
ing landing gear failed to func-
ton, and may not be in the
Thompson race. If it is. Doolittle
said he would probably get
substitute pilot and stick to the
Gee Bee himself.

G.N.S. ITO thwart any at
tempt at mob violence extra
guards today maintained close
vigil over the Clark county
jail, where Hubert c. Moor,
high school teacher, confessed
he killed his wife, Marjorie.
While a threatening group Of
farmers and townsmen milled
about outside the Jail, the 30
year-old teacher nervouSly paced
his cell, reciting a strange story
of jealousy and disgust over
dirty dishes which led him to
commit the crime. He said:
every night I would return
to find the house dirty and
the sink full of unwashed
dishes. There was no quarrel.
simply decided that the only
way out was to kill her. Let
them kill me in the electric
chair. 1 want to die"
BLAMED ROBBERS
The confession, authorities an
nounced, cleared up the mystery
which arose two weeks ago when
the bullet-riddled body of Moor'S
wife was found in the family
automobile on a lonely roadside
near here.
For two weeks Moor, under per-
sistent questioning, chung to his
story that robbers had Waylaid
him and his wife as they were
driving from Indianapolis to their
home in Robinson, Ill.
His principal motive, he said,
was that his wife, also a teacher
at Robinson High School, where
Moor was a professor of agricul-
ture, possessed a greater educa-
ton than he and wanted to pur-
sue a career, instead of devoting
her time to housekeeping.
Popular throughout the coun-
tryside for her work in women 5
and civic societies, Mrs. Moor's
activities appeared to prevent his
own success, Moor said. He
added:
"My dream was advancement
in my own profession and a
home with q devoted wife and
happy children. But Marjorie
was not a home girl. She
wanted her own life. Perhaps
she was a better teacher than
I was"
DETAILS ACT
At first, Moor said, he contem.
plated suicide, but the thought
that his wife would have a sec.
ond husband drove this plan from
his mind. In his confession he
said:

Discharge of Municipal Gen.

on Funds Uncertainty.

A rumor that the 80 members of the
architectural drafting force on the new
Municipal Center project would all be
laid off May went the rounds at the
District \ Building today. Municipal
Architect Albert L. Harris declined to
comment on it.
According to reports, the drafting
force is to be let out because of a
prospective cut in the appropriations
for the Municipal Center in the 1888
appropriation bill.
Pay Roll $4,000 Monthly.
The pay roll of the drafting force is
approximately $4,000 per month, and
1t has been expected that about 40 per
cent of its members would be kept
throughout the year. up until the start
Of construction on the first unit OF the
new center about November l.
There is now available about $1.378.-
900 for the first unit which is expected
to cost about S5,500.000. If there
should be no appropriation for work
on the new building in 1888 it is not
believed that the Commissioners would
let a partial contract on the amount
now available.
$4,000 Asked for Land.
The 1888 budget, as transmitted to
the House, carries items of 5000, 900 fol
purchase of additional land in the CEN
ter area, and $500 1000 for changing the
grades of streets and readjusting sewers

CHANGE TO BEGIN
Police Vice Investigations
Will Be Centralized
After Tomorrow.

Maj. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford's order
centralizing the special investigation
squad, whose duty is to deal specifically
with vice conditions. will become effec-
tive tomorrow morning. The squad is
more commonly known as the liquor
squad. Its members, however, will be
called upon from time to time to con-
duct investigations along other lines, it
is stated.
While the bringing of men from the
precincts to headquarters will give the
department the advantage of a larger
central force. it is said it is not for the
purpose OF starting a more intensive
drive. The chief Of police does expect
additional results in the prosecution of
offenders against the liquor and vice
laws, however, and Inspector j. M
Beckett, in charge, believes greater re-
suits will be attained.
Capt. j. E. Bobo and Sergts George
M. Little, NJ o Holmes and r. A.

in directing the work. Three members
of the squad, Sergt. Little and Pvts.

road squad, being specifically charged
with the seizure of liquor in transit
and arrest of those engaged in trans
porting it. Three members of the Fed
eral prohibition enforcement unit will
continue to work with them.

W0MEN'S EQUALITY
IN U. S. SERVICE URGED
President Shaw of Federal En-
ployes' Union No. 2 Issues
Statement on Status.

Pressed by women in Government
service to relate his views in regard to
their status, John Arthur Shaw, direc-
tor of the United Ststes Employment
Service and a candidate for president of
Federal Employees Union, No. 2, today
issued statement r. which he said:
Il am opposed to discrimination, on
account of sex, in any form. Women In
the Government service should be ac-
corded recognition on the merit of their
ability, and should receive equal pay,
with men, for all tasks wherein both
sexes are employed.
1T has been my observation that
women, perhaps, are more prone to re-
gard the service in the Government as
a career proposition than do men in
general Women often spend many
years in study and preparation for the
essential tasks they perform, and a large
number of them continue their studies,
in more highly specialized realms, long
after appointment to relatively unim-
portant position"
The union is the largest Of Federal
employe groups, with $3.50 members.
