STATE Department AID
ASKED IN FLYERS DEATH

Efforts under way to have the body
Of Lieut.. Winton Graham, Army
flyer who was killed last week in
Panama, brought back to his home
In Big Stone Gap, Va, will be centered
next in the State Department, it was
said this morning at the Office of
Representative Flanagan, Democrat,
of Virginia.
Regulations of the Panama govern
ment forbid the shipment of bodies
out of the country at this season
unless they have been cremated. Mrs.
Dona Parsons Graham, mother of the
flyer, decided against cremation and
appealed to Senator Byrd and Repre-
sentative Flanagan for aid.
Their first appeals were made to
the Adjutant Generals Office in the
War Department and a formal report
is awaited by both from this source.
It has been learned, however, that the
matter Is one for the Panama govern
ment to decide and consequently the
cooperation of the State Department
will be sought.

PAC|F|ES HAzEN
Vice Squad Head Says Po-
lice Are Active in Boot
leg Cases.

Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen,
whose ire was aroused Monday by con-
fidential reports concerning operation
of a dozen bootleg liquor establish
ments, was pacified last night when
Lieut.. George Little of the vice squad
reported police already were active in
the cases.
The Commissioner did not study the
report, but after being told Of its con-
tents turned the document Immediate
" over to Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Vernon E. West for examination
Its details were not made public.
Hazen said the report showed some
of the reputed bootleggers and dealers
had been indicted, others arrested and
some others under investigation.
West said the document contains SO
much confidential information that
publication would seriously hamper the
Police Department in enforcement.
In revealing the complaint Monday,
Hazen did not blame any individual
police official for the alleged lack OF
enforcement, but declared he would
have a pep" meeting of high police
officers soon. He planned to ask the
captains how such places could operate
under their noses without their
knowledge.
Lieut.. Little's report placed differ
ent complexion on the situation and
Hazen today took the opportunity 10
praise the vice squad heads ability.
sit seems to me Lieut.. Little Is doing
a pretty good job," he said.

SPOKESMEN BACK
RETIREMENT ACT
Railroad Labor Leaders Speak
Before Senate Group to Sup.

BY the Associated Press.
Spokesman for 81 railway labor
organizations appeared before Sen
ate Interstate Commerce Subcom-
mittee today to indorse a railroad
employees retirement act designed to
replace the one killed recently by the
Supreme Court.
1.-THE bill has the unanimous in
dcrsement of the members Of the
Railroad Labor Executives Committee
and of the organizations" asserted
Timothy Shea, assistant president O.:
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Engineers.
Edwin A. Krauthoff, counsel for the
Legislative Committee of the Labor
Executives Association, which repre-
sents the 81 railway employees organ
izations, said the bill Is not based or
the interstate commerce clause of
the Constitution, which the Supreme
Court held was not broad enough to
permit compulsory retirement insur-
ance for railroad workers.
He contended the bill Is constitu-
t;onal because it relies on the power
Of Congress to levy taxes and ap-
propriate money. The measure would
provide $4,000, 900 to pay retirement
annuities.

Kansas City Official Dis
counts Cussedness in
NeighbOrhOOd ROsUs.

By the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Kans., July IL
George Lang, head of the local We'll
fare Bureau, blames heat more than
cussedness for the recent doubling OF
his work.
. ''This is the way it appears to come
about" he explained. I'm cold or
moderate weather, the people stay in
doors. Warm weather brings them
out and into contact with each other.
1.-THE children in the yards or
streets quarrel over little things. The
elders take 1t up and pretty. soon the
entire neighborhood Is involved. Then
it reaches us and we must cool them
all off.
People are uncomfortable, don't
sleep nights. The noise of the street
keeps them awake. They turn on the
radio and that wakes up neighbor
and he fuses. They tell him to
mind your own business and all his
self pride in being free-born Ameri-
can asserts itself. There 1t starts and
it may grow by others taking sides
until we spend several days just try
ing to adjust the neighborhood.
when it gets cool again, they'll
forget all about their difficulties and
give attention to their work indoors"

79O Of RAINBOW
DIVISION TO MEET.
Veterans to Hold Three-Day
Session for Business,
Pleasure and Talk.

Former members of the famous
Rainbow Division, hard-boiled fighting
unit of the A. E. F., were arriving at

days of business, pleasure and just
PLAIN gab-festing about who won the
war and why.

arrivals were registering today. but the
largest delegations, from New York
and Alabama, are expected tomorrow.
The New York contingent will arrive
on special train, while the Alabama
group will come to Washington in q
motor caravan.
What OUTFIT" seemed to be the
password in the lobby and corridors
of the hotel today as veterans wearing
overseas caps with the service record
prominently displayed by the number
of stripes, badges or whatnots, met for
the first time since the last conven-
ton. Some Of them are attending the
first gathering of their old divisions,
while others are the regular conven-
tion-goers who have an unbroken rec
cd of attendance.
Among the features Of the conven-
ton will be pilgrimage, by boat, to
Mount Vernon, where wreaths will be
placed on the tombs of George and
Martha Washington. The party will
be met at the Mount Vernon Wharf
by Senator Byrd, Representative
Smith and Virginia State and county
officials. The pilgrimage will be made
Sunday afternoon, to be followed in
the evening by a banquet and the
champagne hour. The champagne
hour, at HAS pm, marks the zero
hour when the division went over
the top" in its first offensive.
The veterans will be the guests of

PERIL At AIRPORT
Smith Asked to Confer With
Arlington Officials to
Speed Closing.
SPECIAL RULES PLEA
HELD UP BY M'SWAIN
Bill to Shut Highway to Be
damned Through, Is Indication,
if Opposition Persists.

Declaring that If Arlington County
officials oppose the closing OF Mill
tary road across Washington Airport
they must be prepared to assume the
responsibility for any tragedy which
may occur there, Representative NC
Swain, chairman Of the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee, today re-
quested Representative Smith Of Vir-
ginia to confer with county officials
In an effort to iron out their objec-
tons.
After the conference McSwain said
he told Smith he had received let
ter from an interdepartmental COM
mittee representing the War, Post Of
flee and Commerce Departments urg-
ing immediate closing of Military road
"to eliminate serious hazard to hu-
man life"
McSwain told the Virginian he
would support the War Department
amendment to the bill, providing for
immediate closing Of Military road,
without waiting for construction of a
substitute route around the airport,
and that this amendment had the
unanimous approval Of the Military
Affairs Committee.
Smith to Report Back.
Smith said he would refer the
whole matter to the Arlington County
authorities, who have objected to the
closing Of Military road until a sub
stitute Is available, and would report
back to McSwain at once on their
decision.
THE Government Is gravely con-
cerned and wants to clean its skirts
Of any responsibility for possible loss
of life at Washington Airport" Nc
Swain said.
He said that a few days ago he
saw an air transport plane, taking off,
narrowly escape crashing into a bus
load OF passengers on Military road.
The bus, he said, started across the
airport runway just as the warning
siren sounded the approach of the
airplane.
Rules Suspension Weighed.
McSwain held up his request for q
special rule for consideration of the
bill in the House until he hears from
Smith. If the Arlington County oppo-
sition Is withdrawn, an effort will be
made to obtain passage Of the bill by
unanimous consent, it was indicated.
If the opposition persists. however,
McSwain Is prepared to ask the Rules
Committee at once to suspend the rules
and jam the Military road closing bill
through the House without amend
ment and with limited debate.

ST. 100000 IN Closed Bank Tied
As Stockholders Oppose Levy
Funds Enough for 10 Per Cent Dividend
Frozen in FederaI-Americon by
Action Against Receiver.

Deposits In the Federal-American
at the time Of suspension in March,
1888, were $9,332,245.87, and q so
per cent dividend was declared in
September Of the same year. Offsets
of $1,059, 1882 have been allowed,
and the actual amount paid out to
depositors on the so per cent divi-
dend amounted on June 80 to ST.
148,322.57.
Borrowed $2,3' 1857 From r. F. C.
The bank wed from the r.
F. c. $2,348, 1885,, and has set aside
in collateral account to repay the
R. F. c. total Of $9e2,05791.
Money paid by stockholders on
assessment cannot be used to repay
the r. F. c. under the law, but must
be set aside for dividends to be paid
depositors.
Under the regulations, the dividend
could not be paid, however, to de-
positors, without permission from the
R. F. c., before all the R. F. c. loan
was paid of. But 1t Is believed that
If stockholders litigation was out of
the way, such permission could be OBJ
tanned from the r. F. c. and the
dividend paid.
The condition of the Chevy Chase
Savings Bank. whose depositors may
get another dividend of between IS
and 20 per cent some time in the
indefinite future, also is shown by
Receiver Hardee's quarterly report.
This bank has remaining assets of
$l62, 1881, no loan from the r. F. c.
and no assessment against stockhold-
ers. Depositors have been paid so

closed, amounting now to $404, 806 "a.

the automobile on green light, the
operator Of the testing machine then

second, however, would mean an
other % feet. In addition to these

Previous Tests Made.
Van Duzer explained this morning
that similar device had been tried
here about two years ago, but that so
few cases were recorded at that time
that the tests were not conclusive of
any accurate proportion between re-
action time and accident frequency.
During the present period, he said,
he hopes to get about 5000 applicants
on record. Should the findings COM
piled from such an experiment show
definite and significant relation be-
tween reaction time and accident fire.
quency the tests may become a per-
manent part of District requirements

The device was perfected by Prof.
Robbins B. Stocked and DR.. Mark A.
May of the Yale Institute of Human
Relations, aided by statisticians and
research experts Of the Aetna Casualty
and Surety Co. Of Hartford, Conn.
Experiments with the machine sim
liar to those just started here also are

Although the closed Federal-Amer-
lean National Bank & Trust Co. now
has cash Of more than $1,000, 1000 on
hand, it cannot pay another dividend
to depositors because of pending It'll
cation in which stockholders are con-
testing the right of the receiver to

Enough funds are on hand to pay
the depositors an additional dividend
of 10 per cent, according to the re-
port of quarterly condition OF the
bank, made public today by Receiver
Cary A. Hardee.
The bank still owes large sums to
the Reconstruction Finance Corp, but
has collected such a large proportion
from stockholders who did not protest
but paid up in full, that the receiver
ship could easily pay another 10 per
cent to depositors If it were not Tor
the pending litigation.
Cash Totals S1,005,S42.47.
The report shows the cash on hand
totals zoos ,S42.47. Most of this was
paid in by stockholders, who have
paid up to date the proportionately
large total of 1882, 749.46. This Is
about As per cent of the total 100 per

Some stockholders protested, how
