h the Associated Press.

b the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Sept. 2l.-Boston had a
foretaste of a week Of carnival gay
ETY. tonight as week end arrivals
boosted to 10000 the vanguard of
100000 World War veterans, rela-
tives and friends expected here by
early next week for the 22d annual

Whether it was the advancing
age of the veterans, the seriousness
of the international situation or
just the heat-the thermometer hit
an official Sc at 3 pm.-the old
time high links of the holidaying
Legionnaires were limited, among
early arrivals at least, to sporadic
charges of wheeling locomotives
through the city's winding streets
and an occasional street-corner
quartet.
Shirt Sleeves Popular.
Nevertheless, hotel Hobbies were
alive with the spirit of reunion
and multi-colored uniforms and caps
were everywhere on the streets. In
dian summer temperatures made
shirt sleeves popular outfit in
many cases.
The pre-convention arrivals had
taken Massachusetts in charge over
an area extending westward 40 miles
from Boston reservations for
sleeping quarters were arranged in
cities and towns as far as Worces-
ter, the so-called heart of the
Commonwealth they even
made inroads along the sprawling
water front of Massachusetts, Bay.
Scores of Legionnaires, unable to
find accommodations in hotels,
slumbered on a steamship tied up
within easy taxi fare of the center
of activity.
Women Register.
In the hotel Hobbies. women of
the auxiliary. representing points
as distant as the Netherlands West
Indies, set up registration desks and
began passing out literature in the
best housekeeping manner. Mrs.
Eva Fountain, from the island of
Kanai. Hawaii, kept the home fires
burning by passing out hundreds
of brilliant yellow leis and strum-
ming on ukulele.
Upstairs in the traditional smoke
filled roms, informal caucuses pro-
crossed for the well-contested fight
for national commander. Ten can
didates already were entered, but
some doubt rose over the status
Of Paul G. Armstrong, Illinois State
commander. when word came he
had been "drafted' to serve on the
draft board in his home State.

death of William F. Stetson. 70, of
At Massa chusetts avenue NV, who
succumbed Tuesday in Casualty Hos
pital from injuries received when he
was struck by taxicab at Sixth
and G streets NV. Sunday night.
After woman passenger in the
cab testified her husband had been
asleep beside her at the time of i'm
pact but had awakened and lent aid
in carrying the victim from the
street to the sidewalk, DR.. Mac
Donald called for the husband. The
witness said she had understood it
would not be necessary for him to be
present, since he did not see the
accident. The coroner directed that
he be summoned.
A date for continuation of the in
quest has not been set.
Earlier James B. Ritter, 70, OF 2lO
F street NV, who died in Casualty
Hospital Monday, was held by a
coroner's jury to have caused his
own death through carelessness. The
jury thereby exonerated Motorman

into whose street car Mr. Ritter ap-
parently walked in the 200 block OF
G street NV. early Monday.
This case had been continued from
Wednesday by DR.. Macdonald after

Student Applications
For Air Course luo

The War Departments air branch
is still trying to find applicants to
attend its Army Air Corps primary
flying schools. having announced
openings for 1872 students twice re-
Gently.
In an inducement to bring young
college men into the air service, the
announcement offers free transpor-
tation, instruction, food, clothing
and housing during the training
period. In addition, there is a fiat
pay of $75 a month while going
through the primary stages. After
three years of active service the
flyer gets $500.
1t was explained that the lack of
applicants is because the time comes
between college terms, when the
student is reluctant to leave his
campus. The courses, under the
present expanded program of air
training, begin every six weeks. The
applicants for the course which be-
gins in June far exceed the posi-
tions available, it was said at the
War Department.
Men between 81 and 26 years of
age and with two years of college
education are eligible to enter one
of the nine civilian pilot schools for
primary training for the Army Air
Corps. On completion of the pri-
mary course. the successful students
will receive further training at San
Antonia, Tex.

Ex-Actress, Once
Worth $4,000, 900,
Now Is PenniIess
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 24.-When
she married Georgian Prince David
Mdivani, Mae Murray, blond star
Of silent films, was worth $4,000, 900.
Ten years later, elected from her
hotel room because she was with
out funds, she spent three days in
New York's Central Park-sitting
on a bench.
This was the story Miss Murray
sobbingly told in court in a suit to
force Mdivani to pay her $1,000
monthly for the support of her 13-
year-old son, Koran David Mdivani.
She was so fearful the judge called
a recess.
Relating the park incident, which
occurred in September. 1886. to Su-
perior Judge George Dockweiler,
Miss Murray said brokenly:
Il had no funds, I had no place
to live at the moment. I had to
leave my hotel.
Il had to leave all my belongings
and was frightened. I just packed
a little hat box with the things I
needed for cleanliness and spent
three days in Central Park"
You mean" interrupted Superior
Judge George Dockweiler. you
spent three days in Central Park?
You mean you sat on a bench in
Central Park?"
II sat on a bench with my little
hatbox"
Almost Hysterical.
Almost hysterical, she was Gained
by friends and continued:
Il had walked out of my marriage
a bankrupt-that is a matter of
record. But I was building up a
new fortune. I had a $4,000 con-
tract with an English picture COM
pany, but was forced to give it up
because my boy became so desper-
ately i'll and before long my money
was gone.
She testified she once sold a IS 1000
chinchilla jacket for $3.50 to obtain
funds for an operation for her son.
She said she begged and pleaded
with Mdivani to assist her and visit
the boy, but without success.
Has Nothing at ALL"
She charged that the prince is
living in luxury, but that a $1,000
payment when they were divorced
in 1888 and S508 since were his only
contributions to the boys support.
Miss Murray told the judge she
had no bank account, made not a
cent during the last year, had no
property-"in fact, nothing at all"

Bermuda censorship authorities.
Relations between all parties con-
cerned were throughout OF the best.
Local authorities have paid
tribute to the helpful attitude
adopted, within limits of their duties,
by the captain of the aircraft and
the manager of the airline and the
United States consul have for their
part confirmed that the situation
was handled courteously and tact
fully and with complete lack of fric-
ton.
Previously, Lord Lothian, British
Ambassador here, had described re-
ports of the use of force to remove
the mails as "eyewash" and the State
Department had issued a statement
saying that 1t had received no ad-
vices indicating that the British used
force.
The controversy arose from a re-
port by an asserted eyewitness to
the January 18 incident that ma
rines or soldiers were called to en-
force censorship officials demands
for the clipper mail and they took
the mail "at bayonet point" A Sec
ond eyewitness corroborated this
story yesterday, except that he was
unable to say what kind of arms the
marines or soldiers" carried.
Holt Demands Inquiry.
In the meantime, Senator Nye,
Republican, or North Dakota said in
a speech last night that arrogant
Britain" would come quickly to
terms about the seizure of mail at
Bermuda If the United States would
pass up Bermuda as an airmail stop.
A congressional investigation was
demanded by Senator Holt, Demo-
crat, of West Virginia, who said he
would ask that Pan American Air
ways officials be summoned to give
the Senate Postof1lce Committee
"the complete story" about seizure
of mail from their planes at Ber-
muda.
The official statement issued last
night at Bermuda explained that

was needed for production of a
