LADIES’ HUNTERS
THRILL AT SHOW
Many Attend Legion Post
Events at Wheaton
Grounds.
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.
WHEATON, Md„ May 25.—With
plenty of thrill* in close contests, but
without any unfortunate spills, the
Cisael-Saxon Post, American Legion,
•uccessfully held its first horse show
on the big grounds here this after
noon, before a large field of spectators,
and with more than eighty entries.
There were entries from the District
of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia,
and the excellent performance of the
animals as well as the handling by the
riders, kept up the enthusiasm of the
audience from the time that little Miss
Harriet Rose Sommer of 31# Tulip
. avenue, Takoma Park, riding Billie,
captured the blue ribbon and a riding
crop in the pony class, until Miss Mar
got Couzens, daughter of United States
Senator Couzens of Michigan, was
awarded the prize for the best dressed
woman rider, as the closing event.
Ladies’ Hunters Jump.
The most interesting of the events
was a special one announced after the {
show had moved half way over the
printed program. It was a class for
ladies’ hunters. 3 tv-foot jump. After
the first run-off, it settled down to a
tie between Crescent, entered by Mrs.
Roy E. Shook, and Par Hale, entered
by Fred M. King. The two were re- |
called four times to make the jumps i
and each time cleared, until the bars
were raised, when Par Hale kicked off
the top one, leaving Crescent the win
ner. Crescent took also two other
events, the open to all hunter class and
the “touch and out.’’ However, with
so many recalls, the event had settled
down to one of endurance, rather than
jumping.
Official Montgomery County was
present in numbers, including County
Commissioner Lacy Shaw of the north
ern metropolitan district. County Com
missioner Clagett Hilton, Preston B.
Ray, clerk of the Circuit Court at
Rockville, and others. Andrew J. Cum
mings of Chevy Chase, former member
of the House of Delegates and presi
dent of the Maryland State Fair Asso
ciation, was present. He has been
confined to his home for some months
by illness.
The Judges of the events, except
the best dressed riders, and the names
of the judges of the latter were kept
secret, were Mrs. Andrew J. Cummings
of Chevy Chase, James P. Fitzgerald
of Silver Spring and Fred C. Lloyd of
Washington. The post had made ar
rangements with Col. William Mitch
ell, former Chief of the Air Service,
and Capt. Butler of the Maryland
State Police to act gs judges, but the
directors of the show were informed
at the last minute that these two ;
would be unable to act.
Police Keep Traffic Moving.
The field in which the show was held
is at the Junction of Georgia avenue
and Kensington road, and many of
those touring for the afternoon stopped
to see the display. Although it was
in an open field, theie was a large
squad of Montgomery County Police,
under Sergt. Guy Jones, in charge of
the northern district, on hand to keep
parkers from clogging up the road
ways.
The proceeds of the show will be used
for the work of the Cissel-Saxon Post
of the American Legion, headquarters
of which are in Silver Spring.

I and perhaps finally settling the Interna
tional controversy resulting from the
j sinking of the schooner I'm Alone off
! the coast of New Orleans.
The boat was sunk by a Coast Guard
1 patrol, nominally under direct com
i mand of Administrator Jackson. One
I life was lost, while the lives of others
, were saved by the patrol boat crew.
Under the agreement in force be
j tween various countries the United
I States in return for granting foreign
vessels the right to bring unlimited
stores of liquor under seal into our ports,
obtained permission to seize rum smug
glers at any point along the coast of
the United States that was within an
hour's sailing distance.
The controversy that resulted in the
exchnnge of notes with the State De
partment and Canadian officials is be
lieved to have started over the question
of whether or not the United States was
within its rights in the I’m Alone
matter.
Bringing together Commissioner Doran
and his aides, Pennington and Jackson,
may result in some decision on this
matter, it was believed. That could not
be confirmed here tonight, however.
Pennington’s experience In dry law
enforcement and naval affairs indicate
that he would be the logical man for
the prohibition executive to call for
counsel in such a case. He has had
more than 20 years’ experience as an
officer in the United States Navy, and
should the I’m Alone sinking be the
subject matter of discussion during the
meeting here, it is believed he would
be able to render valuable advice to
his brother executives on the question.
BRITISH ELECTION
OUTCOME IN DOUBT
No Party Stands Out, With
I
Three-Cornered Contests
I
Complicating Results.
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 25 —The last week
j end before the British general elec
| tlons, May 30, found all three parties '[
girding their loins to do battle in a
contest the outcome of which appeared
unusually uncertain.
A close race was anticipated by all
political observers. No one issue, no
one principle and no one party stood
out above the rest, and the unusual
number of three-cornered contests
further complicated the result.
Former Premier Lloyd George, Lib
eral leader, today predicted that Labor
would lead in the aggregate vote ©f
the country with 7,500,000. He put the
Liberals next with 7,000,000 votes and
the Conservatives last with 6,500,000.
How the 615 Parliamentary seats would
be distributed no one foretold, however.
In the absence of great issues, the
attention of the British public has cen
tered on oddities and sidelights of the
campaign.
Women Take Part.
Wives of two political leaders took
their part in their husband's cam
-1 paigns last night by speeches or letters.
Mrs. Winston Churchill, wife of the
chancellor of the exchequer, thinks her
distinguished husband is a good house
keeper. She told a gathering of wom
en at Buckhurst: “My husband for four
years has been the nation’s housekeeper.
| He really has worked very hard."
Mrs. Stanley Baldwin sent this mes
i sage to the women of Central Hackeny:
I “I appeal to the women to help my
husband in maintaining peace in this
country, building up the nation's health
! and promoting its industry. I pledge
my word you can trust him absolutely.”
Liberals of the city of London, eager
to propagate the faith, today invited all
Conservative cabinet members and can
didates to Cannon Street Hotel to hear
Prof. J. M. Keynes speak on the Liberal
unemployment plan. Prof. Keynes was
one of the committee of experts who
drew up the scheme, which the Con
servatives have consistently attacked.
Scores Conservatives.
Meanwhile, Sir Herbert Samuel, chief
Liberal organizer, paid a few compli
ments to the Conservatives at Llandub
no, Wales, last night. He ironically re
marked that the Conservative slogan of
“Safety First” suggested new British
emblems such as Britannia with an um
brella. or St. George and the rabbit, in
stead of the traditional "St. George and
the dragon.”
Whole families, including the young
est children, have been placed on the
electoral register for the general elec
tions this year in many districts through
mistakes in filling out the forms. In
Sheffield, an unborn babe was actually
entered by its father. It arrived after
wards and, fulfilling the proud parent's
confidence as to its sex, was duly en
franchised.
. Among the Labor candidates in Shef
field is Arthur Ponsomby. descendant
of a long line of aristocrats, who was
• once himself a page of honor to Queen
Victoria. He has represented Bright
, side since 1922. Another Socialist,
i Cecil Wilson, also a member in the last
House, belongs to one of the oldest
| and most famous Sheffield firms who
; refine precious metals.
The solitary Communist candidate
! there, G. Fletcher, is also a capitalist.
He is a master baker.
DEALER ROBBED BY TWO.
'
Max KrusofT reported to police last
night that two young men walked into
his store at 100 Sixth street southeast
and after holding him up at the point
I of a pistol robbed him of $25.
The robbers did not molest the cash
register in the rear of the store.
KrusofT told police that after the hold
up men had taken the money they ran
out of the door.
