HOLDS
SHOW SPOTLIGHT
Army and Belgian Riders
Leave Issue Unsettled.
Today Virginia Day."

While the second day of the Inter-
American Horse Show promised lull
in international team competition
which yesterday found the Belgian
Army ahead of Americas top horses
and riders, there remained an issue to
be decided between the individual
horsemen of the two nations. Prob
ably its decision will bring out the
most spectacular performances of the
entire four-day meeting, except the
final day of team jumping, which
always takes on added zest because
such great kudos are at stake. The
individual work of the United States
Army's Dakota and Renzo was within
fractions Of the best the Belgians could
turn out at Meadowbrook yesterday
with Ibrahim and Whiskey.
The margin SO far established in
favor of the visiting team lay in the
superiority OF its secondary horses,
although 20 to 23 faults could scarcely
be called a decisive lead in a meet
where knocking down single jump Is
penalized by points.
Greatest of all disappointments for
the American rooters yesterday was
the failure of the grand old horse
Dakoto to come clean IN his round
Of the course. Lieut.. Franklin Wing,
jr., made the mistake of putting the
old boy too close around turn, and.
lacking speed, Dakota was unwilling
to try the 5 foot inch Toronto
Bank" the frs. time. That refusal and
the loss of time connected with it cost
the horse a great showing, and the
excellent backstopping of Reno and
King Hi could not save the day.

S|[VERMAN TRIAL
BROUGHT NEARER
Justice Gordon 0verrules
Demurrer to Charge
of Conspiracy.

The way was cleared in District
Court today for trial of former Brig.
Gen. Alexander E. williams, Thomas
Jefferson Pyan, lawyer and former
Representative from New York. and
the Silverman brothers, Joseph, jr.,
and Nathan, surplus Army goods deal
ers, on a charge of conspiracy to de-
fraud the Government.
Justice Peyton Gordon overruled a
demurrer to the indictment, which he
has had under advisement for more
than eight months.
Indictment of the four men about
two years ago climaxed two years OF
investigation of lobbying conditions 1T
the War Department by two grand
juries, a House committee and an
Army court-martial
To Be Put on Calendar Soon.
Chief Assistant United States At
torney David A. Pine said the case
probably will be called for trial before
the first of the year. 1t will be set
down on the calendar as soon as pos
sible, he declared.
Last February attorneys for the
defendants argued the demurrer be-
fore Justice Gordon, attacking 1t on
the ground it was impossible to de-
fraud the United States merely by
preventing a witness from appearing
before q congressional committee.
The four men were charged with
conspiracy to prevent the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee from question:
ing Frank E. Speicher, mystery wit
ness of the long 1884 inquiry, by
hiding him in New York City while
G-men we're hunting him throughout
the Nation. The attorneys contended
that since Speicher was not In the
employ of the Government. the Gov
ernment could not be defrauded by
being deprived of his testimony.
Sees No Barriers to Trial.
Chief Defense Counsel William E.
Leahy said today he saw notnlng at
present to stand in the way Of a
speedy trial. since the demurrer and
other preliminary proceedings had ap-
parently determined the law OF the
case.
The House Military Affairs Commit
tee wanted to interrogate Speicher
about loans it had been informed he
had made to Gen. Williams at time
when Speicher was attempting to sell
inner tubes to the War Department.
Gen. Williams, at one time acting
quartermaster general of the Army,
was found guilty by court-martial
OF accepting $4,000 loan from the
salesman.
The Silvermans were surplus war
goods dealers and had numerous
transactions with War Department
officials. Ryan was described as their
attorney.

SO FLEE FLAMES
|NBALT|M0RE FIRE
Five of $50 Firemen Bat
tIing Downtown Blaze
Are Overcome.
By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, october %. - More
than $50 f1remen, at least half the
available manpower, battled flames
eating through the two top stories
of five-story building today in the
heart of the business district. Sixty
men and women escaped safely, two
down fire ladders.
Two hours after the first of seven
alarms was pulled, great clouds of
smoke poured over the area for blocks
around. Five firemen were overcome
by smoke.
High winds famed the flames and
threatened buildings only the width
of narrow alley from the Baltimore
Gas Light Co. structure. Firemen
poured scores of streams of water
into the top floors from high-pressure
towers and extension ladders.
Three fireboats in the harbor a
block away dropped lines and aided
the 46 pieces of land apparatus. Net
works of hose stretched for blocks
around.
The flames apparently started in
the rear on a top story and raced
forward through packing cases and
other combustible material. Heat had
forced open steel alley doors when
flremen arrived.
Police reserves we're called to drive
back thousands of spectators. Water
ran inches deep in the street. Occa-
sional bursting hose couplings show
cred firemen, police and spectators.

a prominent part in patriotic organiza-
tions for number of years, particu-
larly in the Military Order of the Car
abao, a group of service men who did
duty in the Philippines. He has been
prominent in arranging the annual
dinners of the Carabao, which are
