REGATTA COURSE !
HERE HELD ideal
New Records Are Expected !
in Presidents Cup Meet
With Route Changed.

Fred Jacoby. jr., ace outboard star,
who again is forging to the front for
1898 professional honors. believes that
the new course for the Presidents
Cup Regatta here in September Is,
ideally suited for cupboard races.
The course has been moved farther
up river in the Georgetown Channel
so as to avoid the tide rips on the
extreme end of the course.
II regard the Potomac River course.
as it is mapped out now, with its wide
sweeps at the turns, as ideal for record
breaking performances, and 1t would
not be at all surprising to see several
new cupboard marks set up this Sep
tember," said Jacoby. "As q matter of
fact, there should be some new world
marks SET"
>Jacoby recalled the fact that two
years ago no less than three records
were set here by cupboard drivers.
Tommy Tyson set class A amateur
mark, Frank Vincent of Oklahoma
City set up . class B professional
mark, while Greasy" Neal, veteran
pro driver, won with a new class C
record.
That course, which was then half a
mile up river. will be used again this
year.

LINCOLN, Nebr., Oct. John C.
Gall of New York, legal counsel for
the National Association of Manufac-
turers, proposed six amendments to
the Wagner Labor Relations Act at
the annual meeting of the Associated
Industries of Nebraska here yester-
day.
They we're:
/. That the courts be given permis-
sion to review the facts of case as
well as the legal conclusions of the
National Labor Relations Board.
2. That the administrative and ju-
dicial functions of the board be sepa-
rated.
8. That the employer be permitted
by petition to have an election called.
4. That the workers be protected
from intimidation and coercion by
unions as well as from employers.
S. That the board should be forced
to certify its records within a definite
length Of time so employers appeals
to the courts could be facilitated.
6. That the employer should be
protected in his refusal to deal with
unions for a reasonable length of time
If the union has not kept within the
bounds of the law.

Princess Boncompagni Seeks
Repntriiation to This Country
The Former Miss Draper
Declared to Haze
Started Action.

Princess Boncompagni of Italy. the
former Margaret Preston Draper Of
Washington, has decided to become
repatriated and return to her native
United States, it was learned from
reliable sources today.
The Riggs National Bank, which
handles her account here, was re-
quested this week to search the files
Of the District Building for documents
on the exact wedding date Of the Bon
compagnis to present to the Immigra-
ton Service of the Labor Department
for repatriation papers.
Living at present in Italy, the
Princess is returning to America, 1t Is
said. because Of the recent European
crisis. She is expected here in No
vember, although whether she will de-
eide to remain in Washington Is not
known.
The marriage of the American
heiress to Prince Andrea Boncom-
pagni Of Rome was one Of the most
brilliant ceremonies in Washington
during World War days. The wedding
took place October rs, 1915, in the
Draper mansion, at the corner Of Con-
nectlcut avenue and X street NV.
The late Cardinal Gibbons OF Balti-
more performed the ceremony.
The bride was accorded the privilege
of having low mass said in her own
home, an accord granted to the
Boncompagnis. Most Of the diplo-
matte corps attended the ceremony.
Immediately afterwards the couple left
for Italy, where the Princess has lived
ever since with frequent trips to
America.
Youngest daughter of the late Gen.
William Franklin Draper, former men,
ber of Congress from Massachusetts,
and at one time Ambassador to Italy,
the then Margaret Draper inherited

father.

believable hardships before they re-
ceived adequate medical care. The
trip from the scene of the crash,
where they had been found by ma
tives who spoke only in an obscure
Indian tongue, was made by burro
over rough trails, rickety trucks and
finally by plane to Oaxaca. There
they were placed aboard dilapidat-
ed train running on bumpy, narrow
gauge tracks, and taken to Mexico
City.
Mr.. Murphy said the first thing he
saw in the city was men in white,
wearing Red Cross arm bands. He
was taken by them to the Red Cross
Hospital, and caked blood and dirt
was washed away for the first time
since the crash nearly three days be-
fore. He learned there that his fam
lily in Washington had been notified
that he was alive and able to travel
through the contact between the Red
Cross agencies of the two countries.
Before the accident I had very
hazy idea of the function and serv-
ices of the Red Cross" Mr. Murphy
declared Il felt l was doing my
duty by our own Red Cross when I
took out a dollar membership. Here
after, I shall work for the American
Red Cross and support it by every
means within my power"
