Lest Press readers find them
selves squabbling over who won
the boat race at Poughkeepsie
yesterday, an explanation of a
difference in accounts appearing
in yesterdays Press is due.
The United Press leased wire
ordinarily closes at p. m. but
was held open until 1928 yesterday
afternoon to catch the results of
the boat race. At 3:25 the wire
reported Cornell the winner,
California second and Washing
ton third-this information being
carried in The Press.
Ten minutes later the United
Press office in Los Angeles called
by telephone to advise that a mis-
take had been made and Cali
fOrnia was the winner, with Cor
nell second and Washington third.
The press was stopped and the
corrected information inserted in
the remaining papers.
Henry McLemOre, United Press
sports writer, explains in today's
sports Parade" how the mistake
occurred. At the finish OF the
race the Cornell crew, thinking
they had won, flashed their oars
i'll the air, a long established
signal of victory. The California
crew, believing they had finished
second, trailed their oars as is also
the custom. Newspapermen watch
ing the finish, caught the flash
ing blades and assumed Cornell
had won. So close was the finish
that it was not until 10 minutes
had elapsed that the real victor
was made known.

yet Mr.. Roosevelt polled 379
votes among readers in that State
as against a combined total of
673 for the Republicans and "ail

The poll shows Mr.. Roosevelt
carrying the border States but
there are many striking surprises
in the great agricultural belt
where he is supposed to have won
the favor Of the farmers by the
hog-slaughter, plow-under policy
of AAA. He fails in this poll to
carry Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska,
Minnesota and South Dakota,
which are in the great corn and

ARMY AIRMEN
HUNT REDFERN

Definite evidence that Paul
Redfern is alive and can be
rescued by plane in seven days
from the jungle Of Dutch Guiana,
has been presented to Herbert
C.. Hengstler, Chief of Foreign
Service Administration, Depart
ment of State, according to Will
liam LaVarre, South American
explorer.
LaVarre, recently returned from
the Dutch possession, said yes
terday that documents presented
by him to the State Department
prove conclusively that the avia-
tor who vanished from civiliza-
ton in 1927 while attempting a
nonstop flight from Brunswick,
Ga, to Rio de Janeiro, is living
with the Trio tribe of Indians in
the far interior.
Four FlierS to Try
LaVarre said he has been urg.
ing the War Department to grant
a leave of absence to Major
Willis M. Taylor, U. S. Army
flier, stationed at France Field,
Panama Canal Zone, and three
other officers who have offered
to finance an expedition.
LaVarre said:
Il believe they can get Red
fern out in seven days. All that
is needed now are the leaves of
absence. I am positive Redfern
is alive"
He said Redfern's approach to
civilization has been blocked by
hostile tribes of ex-slaves, the
black Djukas, brought from Africa
200 years ago and sold to Dutch
planters. They hate white men
and have driven the Trio Indians
far back from the coast.
Rescued BY Indians
LaVarre learned of Redfern's
existence in Guiana last July. At
Paramaribo, an Indian frontiers.
man told of seeing the plane
crash in the interior.
He said the Indians dragged the
flier from the wreckage and took
him to a village. Friendly to
whites, they treated the American
with great care. He said broken
hip and leg had crippled Redfern
so that he had to be carried about.

reveal any finger prints.
Likewise, a thorough examina-
ton of the hotel room and the
two-foot length of iron pipe with
which the "ape man" brutally
beat the woman failed to disclose
finger prints.
Police sought to learn the iden.
tity of a man said by hotel EN-.

she had not seen her attacker. She
said:

SHAM BATTLE
ON PROGRAM
AT YARD
Tributes Paid Memory
OF John Paul Jones
And T. Roosevelt

Americas naval forces forgot
training routine today.
1t was their day to observe the
birthday anniversary Of the late
President Theodore Roosevelt,
their champion; it was their day
to allow the American public its
annual peek behind the scenes OF
the nations first line Of defense.
It was Navy Day.
From the Atlantic to the far.
off stations of the Asiatic fleet
along the China coast, Uncle
Sans fighting men Of the sea
held "open house." Nine thou
sand officers and $4,000 men
were hosts to millions of Ameri-
cans.
In Washington the observance
centered at the Navy Yard and
the John Paul Jones monument
IN West Potomac Park.
Anti.Aircraft Drill
At the Navy Yard there were
enti-aircraft gun drills aboard the
new destroyer Dale, demonStra-
tions of gun forging in the gun
factory, formation flying through
out the day by Marine, Coast
Guard and Navy aircraft; deep
sea diving, machine gun drills, in
spection of all ships tied up at
the yard and life saving demon
strations by the Coast Guard.
In addition to the destroyer
Dale, 1,500-ton vessel recently
completed and which came here
after a Shakedown cruise in Eu-
ropean waters, the Coast Guard
cutters Apache and Sebago were
at the Navy Yard for inspection.
The Navy Yard was open to the
public at 8 a. m. and was to re-
main open until $50. At 4:30
one of the most colorful Of the
Navy Yard events, a sham battle
between land, air and sea forces,
is to be staged.
Tonight the Naval Observatory
will be open to visitors between
7:30 and 10:30. No cards of ad-
mission will be required.
The Marine land, playing at
the base of the John Paul Jones
monument, opened the observance
there at noon. Major Walter
Bruce Howe, past national preSi-
dent of the Navy League Of the
United States, delivered Navy
Day address and Rear Admiral
Harry C. Hamlet, commandant
of the U. S. Coast Guard base
here, delivered a brief resume Of
Of the life of the naval hero.
In Philadelphia the Navy De-
partment marked the day by lay
ing the keel of the new cruiser
Wichita, at which Assistant Sec
retary of Navy Henry L. Roose-
velt officiated. In the same city
two new destroyerS, the CaSSin
and Shaw, of 1,500 tons each,
were launched down the ways.
Tribute to VinSOn
Admiral william r. Standley,
Chief of Naval Operations, was in
Atlanta where special tribute was
being paid Representative Carl
VinSon, author of the VinSon-
Trammel act which launched the
United States on a naval building
program designed to give it a full
treaty-strength navy.
Secretary Claude A. Swanson
observed the holiday at his desk.
Saturday President Roosevelt
had sent a message to the naval
head, declaring it imperative"
that the Navy be built up to full
treaty strength.
Actually, yesterday was the
birthday anniversary of Theodore
Roosevelt but, as has been the
custom in past years when the
day fell on Sunday, the official
observance was held on Monday.
The observance today was the
fourteenth.
