For months owners and shippers
from a half dozen ports along a
range of 1000 miles have readied
their entries for a crack at the 18-

awarded the winner every two years.
Prize vessels of three classified
tions-the tall-masted class IA
schooners, the 50-75 foot "B" cutters
and the 1880 foot &C" yaWls-are
competing for class prizes in addi-
ton to the sweepstakes aboard
All boats have an equal chance to
win, as handicaps are determined
by complicated adjustment of the
overall length to the square of the
sail area. The first vessel to round
Diamond Head may not win the
victor is determined only after all
entries reach port and the handi-
caps are subtracted. The entry with
the smallest elapsed time wins.

Midget race fans witnessed the
most closely contested, most thrill
ing main event of the season Thurs
day night when eight of the fastest
cars in Imperial and San Diego
counties battled for first place.
Hobart Herrick, who finally got
his speedy auto in running order
and at the same time learned the
tricks and turns of the Ell Centro
track, drove one of the most bril-
liant races of the year.
Starting in a poor position he
moved steadily toward the front,
finally passed the two leaders, and
then breezed in to victory. His
sparkling performance in Thursday
nights race stamps him as one of
the leading contenders for season
honors on the midget speedway.

Transfer to Maryland
Hospital Ends Plan
For Hearing Here

BALTIMORE, June 24.-Repre-
sentative Marion A. Zioncheck
slept seven hours last night, his
first in the Sheppard and Enoch
Pratt Hospital, to which he was
forcibly removed yesterday from
Gallinger Hospital, in Washington,
shouting that he had been kid
naped, it was revealed today by
DR.. Ross McC. Chapman, super
intendent of the local hospital.
Held in strict seclusion, Zion
check will not be allowed to see
visitors for at least two weeks,
DR.. Chapman said. He will be
given the routine treatment and
extended no special privileges, the
superintendent declared.
Resting Comfortably
Zioncheck is resting comfortably
after his trip, DR.. Chapman said,
and is now in the general observa-
ton ward. Later he will be per
mitted out in the grounds and en-
couraged to play tennis and en-
gage in other sports.
Physicians at Gallinger informed
him that Zioncheck will recover,
DR.. Chapman said, but that it
would take from 80 to so days
treatment.
Zioncheck, who was incarcerated
in Gallinger Hospital for mental
observation three weeks ago, was
brought here in an ambulance.
The surprise removal marked
an end of plans to bring him into
District Supreme Court next Fri
day for a sanity hearing, at
which he had announced he
would act as his own attorney.

Lawyers pointed out he must
remain in the hospital here until
doctors certify he is mot danger

The removal was marked by a
terrific struggle in which eight

were forced to bind zioncheck
tightly ir heetS in the fashion
of a strait-jacket, while he shouted
that he was being kidnapped" and
"railroa6ad,"
The decision to remove Zion
check to the Maryland institution
was reached at a conference be-

D. {. CUTS Us
FROM RELIEF
STAFF JOBS
Commission Approves
Reduction to Be
Made, July !

The official ak of the District
Commissioner was welded on 1875
jobs in the relief organization of
the Board of Public Welfare today.
Because of a limitation on per-
sonneI expenditure in the 1887 fiS-
cal year budget, the jobs will be
abolished July l.
Commissioners Melvin C. Hazen
and Dan I. Sultan approved the
cut recommended by Welfare
Director Elwood Street. CommiS-
sioner George E. Allen, who is in
Philadelphia attending the Demo
cratic National Convention, also
approved in an exchange of tele-
grams with Auditor Daniel J.
Donovan.
A special meeting of the city
heads was called for this after
noon. at which the final draft will
be worked out for the new and
smaller relief set-up. Major Don
ovan said the cut would involve
all types of jobs in the organiza-
ton, including clerks and case
workers.
The 1897 fiscal year budget
provided $1,600,00O for relief, but
limited the personnel eXpendi-
lures to $200,000. Major Donovan
said that during the current flS-
cal year the organization has been
carrying 285 employees on an an
nual payroll of $411,100.
A As per cent cut will be ef-
fected, which will bring the num-
ber of employees down to 100 and
the payroll to $230,200 a year.
The 200 in excess of the limit,
Major Donovan explained. comes
from Federal Government grants
for old age, needy blind and home
care assistance.

HEAD OMAN
IS HEARD AT
CONVENTION
Suggests Local Groups
Organize for Fight
on Criminals

Presenting a CHASTITY picture of
the prevalence of crime. pillage,
and plunGer in this country, j.
Edgar Hoover, head of the Federal
Bureau Ct Investigation today
made an appeal to the Kiwanis In
ternational Convention meeting
here to organize locally for a vigi-
liant battle against these criminals
and their harborers, the crooked
politicians
Declaring that "the best insur-
ance for a prosperous community
is that of crime-free community"
Hoover decried the 'lackadaisical
attitude on the part of the aver
age citizen, who believes that
crime can be solved by some magic
formula"
Since the Kiwanis Interna-
tional is essentially dedicated to
the welfare of the communities
where its clubs are located, Mr..
Hoover suggested one of the most
beneficial movements the organi-
zation could undertake would be
for the various local clubs to ap-
point committees on crime and
law enforcement which could
check the activities and improve
the efficiency of the local police
departments, the crooked poll
ticianS, laxity in the courts and
any improper actions of the pa
role boards.
Asks Local Support
He added:
"The protection Of your COM
munity is not one which re-
quireS more laws, or different
laws and new laws. 1t de-
mandS only unceaSing vigilance
and pertinaciOuS and cOntinu-
GUS inquiry by men and women
directly concerned with making
their community one that is
free from crime"
In describing the crime toll of
the country, the Chief Oman as
serted:
Before the sun sets tonight
IS people will have been MUIR
dered. Every 20 seconds a
major crime is being commit
ted. CeaSeIesSIy, hour after
hour and day after day and
month after month, 100000
major crimes a year are being
rolled up into horrible total
of plunder and pillage."
United Drive Urged
Recalling that during the
World War there was. a coalition
of every effort toward victory,
Mr.. Hoover told the Kiwanians:
To-day, however, we find our
selves in the midst of another
war in which we are threatened
by q foe which OutnumberS our
armed forces two to one. Yet,
there is no allied effort, no con-
centratiOn of defense and often
nothing but sheer apathy
against this most desperate
menace"
He declared the armed forces
of defense in America are 25O,O00
men, while the armed forces Of
crime constitute steady advanc-
ing" rmy" of more than a half
million persons. He added that
this does not take into account
