National Woman ’s Party Begins to
Find Its Position in Presidential Race
Delegation Has Been to
See Dr. Work for
Equal Rights
The National Woman’s
party Has begun the ground
work for its summer political
activity. It must find out
_ from which party it can get
the more favorable con
sideration. And then the
plan of campaign can be laid.
Already a delegation from
the party has called on Dr.
Hubert Work, chairman of
the Republican national
Committee, and has asked
. him to convey to the Republi
can presidential nominee its
request for the latter’s sup
port for the equal rights
' amendment so dear to the
heart of Woman’s party
members.
Leader
Mrs. Harvey Wiley, of Well
ington, headed the delegation, •
which consisted of Miss Ruth
Hudnut, of Massachusetts; Mrs.
John C. Fitzpatrick, of New
Jersey; Miss Pole Armstrong, of
Delaware, and Mrs. Mary M.
Lockwood, of Clarendon, Va.
It would seem that the Wo
man’s party might find more
favor from the Republicans m
that Senator Charles Curtis, the
vice presidential nominee, spon
sored the amendment in the
Upper House.
The next step, undoubtedly,
will be to have a delegation call
upon the chairman of the Demo
cratic national committee and
ask him to see what response he
can get from the Democratic
presidential nominee. „

“SyT Stokes and

It looks as if Mr. and Mrs.
"Syl" Stokes. Jr., will again be
residents of Washington. Accord
ing to word from New York" they
are pausing ,at ths Vanderbilt

ing to Washington.
This will be the first time that
‘•Sy!’’ has been here since his
marriage early in January to Miss
Patty Dupont, who was playing
small parts in motion pictures in
Hollywood.
“Kyi’ tried out his talents also
in the motion pictures, but doesnt
seem to have got very far—either
for lack of talent or Interest. But
h« did succeed in finding for the
second time a girl to his liking.
All’g Well
And so all may be well that
ends well!
Should Mr. and Mrs. Stokes
make their home in Washington,
Mrs. Benjamin Royall Holcombe
would probably got much mention
as the "first Mrs. Syl Stokes"
just a« Mrs. B. Sumner Welles
became the first Mrs. Gerry’’ upon
her second marriage and the mar
riage of Senator Gerry to Mre.
George W. Vanderbilt.
The "pink palace" on Massachu
setts Avenue, which was the home
of the "first Mrs. Byl Stokes" has
continued to be her home .since
her marriage to the retired ’naval
officer.
"Syl" has had the Metropolitan
Club listed as his address In the
social register since his divorce
some years ago from Margaret
Fahnestock. But with another
Mrs. Stokes, he will, of course,
have to seek residence elsewhere.

ENGUND'S
PRAISE
By International New* Service
LONDON, Aug. 4. —AM England
was today singing ths praises of
Capt Frank T. Courtney for his
coolness and daring in safely land
ing his blaring seaplane in mid
ocean and saving the lives of his
three companions and himself.
Despite the fact that he failed in
his flight. Courtney is being hailed
as having advanced transatlantic
flying another step by proving the
worth of the all-metal seaplane
and wireless under the most hazard
ous conditions.
It Is pointed out that a land
plane of ordinary construction would
either have burned up in the air
or dropped plummet-like to the
bottom of the sea under conditions
similar to those met by Courtney.-
Courtney and his three com
panions, E. B. Hosmer, wealthy
Canadian backer of the flight; Fred
pierce, mechanic, and. E. W. Gil
mour. radio operator, are now
aboard the liner Minnewaska which
will arrive in New York Monday*
Captain Claret, of the Mlnne
waska, today sent a radio message
to the Central News in which he
described the rescue of Courtney.
‘•We diverged 341 miles from our
true course to effect the rescue,”
the message stated. “We found
the machine riding easily on the
gentle swell. The engine room of
the plane was completely burned
out and the radio batteries were
exhausted. ■ t ' >
“We wer* forced to alter our
course three times before sighting
the plane from a distance of nine
miles. As we approached nearer
we lowered a boat and picked up
the fliers.
“We i found it Impracticable to
attempt to save the plane. Night
was falling and the plane's owners
consented to. abandon the plane.
The rescue was aided by ideal
weather conditions and entremely
good visibility.”

ATLANTIC CITT, Aug. 4.—Daniel
Stebbins, alleged proprietor of the
Golden Inn., a popular night club, at
Mississippi and Pacific avenues, was
taken into custody by Captain Bren
nan. of the vice .squad, on a warrant
charging operation of a disorderly
house in which "gambling was re
peatedly carried on.”
The arrest followed a mysterious
tip circulated among the gambling
fraternity yesterday to “He low.”
Stebbins was released in 32,000 bail
for a /Rearing before Magistrate
Waldmayer. .
Captain Brehhan made his descent
on the < downtown 'cabaret district
about the same time word was noised
about that private Investigator** em
ployed by influential members of the
reform element were gathering evi
dence of gambling conditions. On
the south side, especially downtown,
the scene of considerable activity
since the advent of the summer
crowds, it was impossible for a time
to piaee a bet on a horse race, play
a slot machine or gain admittance to
the crap games. The lid was down
tight.
Police continued their drive, mak
ing a second arrest. James J. Flana
gan, 50 years old, self-styled clerk,
is alleged to have nv>«r.xted a “dis
orderly house where persons re
mained for gambling on horse races.”

ROMPING AROUND THB
RADIO DIALS J
I—" '1 ■ By GARDNER MACK n. —■
(MSI GUARDS'
HEHOISNIIS
HUTH
Electric storms seemed to be
everywhere in the atmosphere last
night and helped the regular union
static noise makers prevent com
fortable tuning of radio programs.
Occasional lightning flashes
caused crashes even in the local
broadcasts. !
Celebration of tho 133th an
niversary of 'the establishment ot
the Coast Guard Service in tho early
evening and Hugo Mariani’s tango
orchestra during tho late hours pro
vided high points for an evening
loud speaker program that seemed
to sag in tho middle.'
Led by Capt- William J. Miller,
a group of hardy guardsmen ac
companied by the United States
Navy Band set forth some of the
facts of its remarkable history—l9*
years of llfo saving, of patrolling
storm tossed seas and coasts and
performing deeds of,heroism just as
part of a day’s work —every day
and every hour ot the day. The
unfortunate feature of the program
that WRC broadcast beginning at
4:65 yesterday is that only listeners
of WRC heard it. The story of the
Coast Guard should have been given
a bigger hook-up though a national
chain, that the whole country might
know—more about this organisation
of peace-time heroes and war-time
Navy auxiliaries,
LATIN-AMERICAN
CONCERT ARTISTS.
The tango orchestra, directed by
Hugo Mariani, came to listeners
during tho National Broadcasting
Company’s artists* bureau hour,
along with a program of Latin-
American music of the most vivid
sort. Raquel Nieto, a Mexican so
prano with a bell-like voiee, and
Jose Moriche, a tenor who knows
how to sing, together with the Na
tional Choristers, helped out the
orchestra. But it was the peppy,
seductive music of the orchestra
that made the big hit with the au
dience.
Guiseppe Bruno, a Washington
baritone, furnished tho chief fea
ture of the , WMAL broadcast.
Bruno has a rich voice of great
power, but the main feature of his
singing is the intelligence with
which he interprets the poetry of
song. The only criticism one could
offer of his singing is that many
of his notes appear throaty—-that
he does not open his voice as be
should to enable him to get out
of his songs what he so evidently
strives to do. He was Introduced
in joint recital with Salvatore
Carta.
The La France Orchestra made
its bow to WRS listener* last eve
ning with a fairly average program
that had no high spots. In the
Slumber Music endeavor the orches
tra presented a program of music
of French composers and played
most of its number* a* well as
we’ve ever heard tbem. The pre
lude to Saint Saens* “Deluge” and
Debussy’s first “Arabesque” were
especially well done.
MOBILIZATION DENIED
BERLIN, Aug. 4.—Despite sensa
tional declaration* in Polish and
Lithuanian newspapers that troops
are being massed along tho frontier
for an emergency, advice* from
Warsaw and Kovno today denied
such reports.
