BATTLE IN AIR,
ON LAND AND SEA
TO TEST PLANES
Army and Navy to Settle
Controversy Over Value of
Fliers Against Ships.
ON BOARD T. S. S. HENDERSON
OFF YORKTOWN. Va.. June 27 —Grey,
mountainous battle wagons and slender,
sylph-like destroyers are gathering at
the Atlantic fleet rendezvous In Lynn
Haven Roads today, while air stations
along the coast are humming with the
sound of tuning air motors, as the
Army and Navy prepare for tests tomor
row which will go a long way toward
settling the controversy as to the value
of air craft in naval warfare.
Tomorow morning the old battleship
lowa will become a theoretical enemy at
tacking the coast of the United States
and the sole defense against this enemy
will be from the air by combined Army
and Naval air forces. ' —\
The lowa will be controlled entirely by
radio, operated from the battleship Ohio,
and will be unmanned. Her position
will be somewhere 100 miles off the coast
between Cape Henlopen and Cape Hat
teras. The problem of the air craft will
be to find the "enemy” and then attack
her from the air with bombs an,d demon
strate ‘that no enemy craft could launch
a successful attack upon American shores
against aerial defenses.
This experiment will be most unusual
for It will mark the first test of the
feasibility of operating big battlecraft by
radio under theoretical war conditions.
The lowa has been equipped with pro
pelling machinery, capable of running for
a considerable time without attention and
she has been made an oil burner with
automatic devices for feeding fuel and
supplying water to the boilers.
The apparatus for controlling the ship
consists of a standard radio transmitter
aboard the Ohio, a receiving aerial on
the lowa with special raido receivers,
amplifying, relays, etc., for converting
the radio signals Into such form that
they will operate the electrical devices
which control the steering gear and the
throttle of the engines.
MYSTERY COMET
DUE THIS MONTH
Pons-Winnecke to Put in Ap
pearance Again.
DENVER, June 27. —The Pons-Win
neci.e comet, an itinerant of the sky that
Is supposed to be present in the heavens
ibont once in every six years, is flitting
around the milky way and may be seen
by the naked eye during the latter part
of June, according to Dean Herbert A.
Howe, professor of astronomy at Denver
University.
With the aid of a twenty-eight-inch
telescope, Dean Howe already has ob
served a “white light against the sky”
that he believes Is Pens-Wlnnecke.
“The comet appears as a very faint,
hazy spot on the sky, and stars may
be easily seen through It," Dean How*
•aid. "In the large telescope a condensed
nucleus of the eleventh magnitude, al
most stellar in appearance, is readily
seen, and the nebulosity about It extends
chiefly in one direction from the nu
cleus, as If It were trying to develop a
tail. At present it is doubling its bright
ness every fortnight.
Dean Howe described the position of
Pons-Winnecke as near the star lota
Berculis. He said the comet is mov
ing a degree a day eastward and drift
ing a little northward. It will, however,
change Its northerly course In a few
days and will then go south as well as
east, he said.
Astronomers at Denver University are
nightly watching the progress of Pons-
Winnecke across the heavens.
There is considerable mystery about
the comet. The dimensions of its orbit
are extremely vagno and astronomers at
various observatories throughout ths
toited States have been asked to keep
totkclose watch this year in an effort to
securfevmore definite measurements on the
“fly by flight.”
- When Pons-Winnecke reaches Its peri
helion, late in June, it Is expected a
ygreat shower of meteors will fall.
While it is possible that the comet may
not be visible to the naked eye. Dean
Howe says that small telescopes will
bring It into view.

ing to Ashby and Stevenson. They indi
cated that the plan of attack will be to
show that there are not enough valid
signatures on it and that the battle
ground probably will be before the city

question of calling the special election.
A majority of the couneilmen are under

STEVENSON TRACES
MOVEMENT OF PAPER.
In answer to criticism of the city clerk
and himself for the “disappearance" of
the petition from the clerk's office Sat
urday, Mr. Stevenson traced its move
ments.
He said he took it to' his private law
office at 1110 Hume-Mansur building after
Tie receipted for it at the clerk s office
Saturday morning. It was locked In a
safe in this room all night Saturday.
Sunday morning it was placed in a plain
traveling bag and removed to the city
legal department offices, on the second
floor of the city hall.
"I had the combination upon the vault
in the legal department suite changed so
that no one but myself can open it," he
said. “The remonstrance was locked In
this vault Sunday and last night.”
Mr. Stevenson said it probably would
remain in the legal department office
until some time this afternoon, when he
intended to return it to the clerk's office.
The backers of the remonstrance con
tend that the clerk and the city attorney
violated the municipal code in removing
the paper, citing a section which speci
fies that documents bearing upon elec
I tlons shall not be removed from the cus
tody of the city clerk except upon order
of a committee of the city council, of the
council Itself or of a court.
Mr. Ashby contended that uo law was
I violated In withdrawing the petition from
the room and building where the clerk
has his office.
“STILL IN CHARGE
OF CITY CLERK.”
“The petition still is in the custody of
the city clerk, even though it is here in
the city hall. The members of the city
legal staff are the attorneys for the city
clerk, Just as they are for all other city
j officials,” said Ashby, adding that he
thought it foolish to raise any objection
j because lawyers make It a regulur prac
t tice of withdrawing highly important
1 papers from the offices of the clerks of
; courts from justices of th peace to the
highest tribunal in the land.

The County Council will hold a dinner

Commerce to chart Its course 1u the ex

BAYS BETTER COURSE
7 0 CONVERT PUBLIC.
Gustave G. Schmidt, city councilman,
who demanded that the city clerk recall
the petition and retain It In els custody,
said he had been Informed the pro-plaza
forces, working with the acting city at
torney, intended to press Republican pre
cinct committeemen into service to get
withdrawals.
"It is perfectly clear that under the
law withdrawals of signatures may not
be made after the time limit for filing
has expired,” said Joseph Collier, for
mer Judge, who* is advising the remon
-Btrators. "The petition was carefully
gone over by experts before it wag file!
and I feel no hesitancy in saying to
friends of the plaza plan that they will
be wasting time In attacking the instru
ment. They had better direct their ef
forts to courting public favor for their
project Instead of seeking to deprive the
public of it* voice In the matter."
It has been indicated that proponents
of the plaza would urge withdrawal of
signatures to the petition on the ground
that some of those who signed thought
they were asking submission of The
question to a vote, when as a matter of
fact they were signing a flat remon
strance.
W. G. Miller, one of the petition cir
culators. in answer to that statement
pointed out that the law provided for the
calling of an election on remonstrances
•nd that by no other method could an
election have been invoked.
FEELS CERTAIN ON
RESULTS OF ELECTION.
“These petitioners are simply protest
ing against the purchase of this prop
erty by action of the city council, which
of course nftani that the purchase can
only take place by action of the people,"
said Mr. Miller. “Such quibbling wlil
win no friends for our opposition.”
Mr. Miller said that in case the petition
has been altered in any particular a de
termined tight will be made to establish
Its original validity.
“We do not feel any uneasiness about
the calling of an election,” he said. “The
many assurances of support we have re
ceived give us every, reason to believe
that the election will result in a landslide
against the plaza. The State memorial
| building is enough. We hear that on
every hand. Ex-servlee men generally,
particularly those who fought in the
ranks, are opposed to squandering a
huge sum on a park when so many ex
soldlers are In need. As one man said

Gold Payment Would Jeopard

World, Financiers Claim.
WASHINGTON. June 27.—Payment in
ccygimoditles instead of coin may solve
the problem of getting from the allies
the $10,000,000,000 war debt owed the
United States.
Treasury leimrtment officials, it was
learned today, have considered each a
solution. Secretary Me'lon in appearing
before the State Finance Committee on
the debt situation this week, probably
may be questioned on the possibility of
obtaining payment In goods.
Payment of world debts In coin Is
creating havoc lu the international ex
change markets. Settlement of the for
eign debt to the United States was de
ferred three years by tho Wilson admin
istration because of the danger of throw
ing the exchange market into confusion.
The United States needs millions of
dollars worth of goods annually from
Grent Britain, our greatest creditor, her
colonies and from France, Italy, Greece
and other nations which owe money to the
United States.

7 BURGLARIES
HELD AGAINST
TWO BROTHERS
Guns Found in Possession of
Youths Arrested Second
Time Within W.eek.
Seven burglaries are alleged to havs
been committed by Carl Knuth, 21, and
his brother, Otto Knuth, 18, 3717 Haw
thorne lane, who were arrested Sunday
by detectives.
Otto and Carl were arrested last week
and guns were found in their possession.
Otto Knuth was arrested last October on
the charge of petit larceny, but escaped
with a suspended fine. The two men
got off easy following their Incarcera
tion last week, but it was that arrest
that resulted in the police obtaining n
formation which caused them to be
charged with burglary and grand larceny
The two men were halted early one
morning In tbe Briglitwood railroad
yards by Big Four Railroad Detectives
Ford and PeUit. They had in their pos
session a quart of whisky, and each car
ried a gun. One of these weapons was
a German Luger.
In city court charges of vagrancy and
trespass charges against the two men
were dismissed. The charge of operat
ing a blind tiger was continued indefi
nitely. Each was fined SIOO and costs
for carrying concealed weapons. They
did not go to jail or pay the fine for

The records show that Otto Kfluth was
arrested on the charge of petit larceny
Oct. 13, 1920, and was fined $1 and costs
and the fine suspended by Judge Pritch
ard, He is said to have taken cigarettes
from the Mooney-Mueller Drug Company
on that occasion.
In city court this morning the cases
were continued until July 0
D. B. Brown. Thirty-Eighth street,

of the arrest of the two Knuth brothers
and went to the sheriff's office and

having been stolen from his home last
March. Detectives Reilly and Pressley
searched the Knuth borne Saturday and
found the holster of the I.uger gun
owned by Edwin J. Ripple, Thirty-Sixth
, street and Emerson avenue, whose home
had been robbed.
The Knuth brothers were out enjoy
ing a fishing trip at that time and the
police did not find them until Sunday

Cooperative stores in cities can not

Farmers cooperative societies are more
successful, but have great difficulty In
making purchases of materials. The big
business Interests control the source of
supply and are reluctant to sell direct to
farmer organizations

Bathing Beauties
Safe From Camera
DENVER. June 27.—Photographers, fet
tracted by the scenery at Denver’s munic
ipal bathing beaches, will be barred from
taking pictures this summer.
This was the edict of A. K. Vickery
superintendent of parks.
"I>ast year it was found that young
woman who swam at the bathing beaches
had their photographs reproduced with
out their permission on postcards stdd
on Curtis street and displayed there to
the public gaze. Naturally this was dis
tasteful to them, and prevented many
from attending the beaches who other
wise might have done so.
‘Nothing of the kind will be permitted
this year. Cameras will not be allowed
on the beaches. Those found using them
will be subject to arrest. We mean to
enforce this rule rigidly.”
