DUBLIN, Sunday. — Amid
scenes of religious devotion un
paralleled in intensity since the
Middle Ages, 1,000,000 persons
heard mass in the open air at
Phoenix Park today, climaxing
the thirty-first International
Eucharist Congress.
A message from Pope Pius,
scheduled to he broadcast to
Dublin from the Vatican at
1 p.m,. could not be heard, but
the great crowd knelt in utter
silence during the period of the
papal blessing.
Cardinal Lauri, papal legate, cele
brated pontifical high mass. Following
the service with murmured prayers like
a low roar of thunder, the massed hun
dreds of thousands alternately knelt
and rose, many of them almost weep
ing with pious fervor. It was the larg
est congregation that has ever heard
mass, fulfilling the hopes of the con
gress organizers.
A magnificently-decoratea grand al
tar dominated the park. The gover
nor-general of the Free State and Mrs.
MacNeill occupied a special place be
fore the altar with President De Va'
lera, members of the government, dip
lomatic representatives and Catholic
notables.
24,000 Guard Marchers.
Row upon row behind them were
members ot the Church orders, and be
hind the seats of honor the sea of wdr-
shippers filled the park and flowed on
beyond for a mile to College Green, in
the centre of the city.
Marching men and women jammed
the three-mile route to the park before
the mass. A force of 4,000 soldiers and
police and 20,000 stewards kept order
in the streets as the religious proces
sion passed on ahead. Over the city
could be heard the paean of hundreds
of thousands of voices singing the
hymns broadcast by the grand choir
before the altar in Phcenix Park.
Relayed by amplifiers to the million
worshippers, the magnificent tenor of
Count John MacConnack, attired in
the robes of a papal chamberlain,
opened the devotional prelude to the
mass. Cardinal Hayes, of New York,
and Archbishop Curley, of Baltimore,
were among the throng of prelates who
assisted at the service.
A brief address was made to the
congregation during the mass by Car
dinal Lauri.
Strip the Willow, A. J. Duggan’s
three-year-old, which as a 27 to 1 out
sider won the French Derby or Prix
du Jockey Club at Chantilly two weeks
ago, yesterday captured the rich Grand
Prix de Paris at Longchamp in going-
away style, bringing the “Grande Se-
maine” to a brilliant close and. the Ar
gentine owner 1,030,300 francs and the
fame of having saddled the winner of
two major stakes.
Second horse since the war to win
the Jockey Club and the Grand Prix,
Strip the Willow, the Herald selection,
was heavily backed and paid 59 francs.
R. Brethes, who had the leg up, piloted
the winner in faultless style.
Satrap Second by a Neck.
A length and a half behind, Satrap
(S. Donoghue up) just outstayed Fog
Horn by a short neck to take the place.
The rest of the field was bunched two
lengths behind, with Rareweed, second
choice, finishing in the ruck.
Perfect weather brought out the
week’s most fashionable crowd of more
Silence Replaces Radio.
“The thoughts of all the Catholic
world are centred on the blessed land
of St. Patrick as this great celebra
tion is about to reach its climax,” he * 922 -
said, exhorting the devout to revivify
their faith in presence of “the* real
Jesus Christ in the sacrement of this
altar.”
Deep silence fell over the scene as
Dublin clocks sounded 1 p.m. Realizing
after a few moments that a breakdown
in transmission must have occurred,
the entire throng knelt as though it i
were one small congregation and re
mained with heads bowed until the
service was resumed.
On conclusion of the mass, the crowd
received the apostolic benediction from
Cardinal Lauri and then burst into
cheers which echoed over the city. Re
joicing in the public places of the ca
pital and in all religious and govern
ment institutions reigned unabated
throughout the rest of the day.
The papal iegate will receive the free
dom of Dublin at the lord mayor's
reception at the Mahsion House tomor

ARTIGLIO’S HAUL
OF GOLD SLIPS OFF
INTO LEGAL DEPTHS
(Special to The Herald.)
PLYMOUTH, Sunday.—The Artiglio
II., Italian salvage ship which during
the last four days brought up nearly
$1,000,000 in gold from the sunken
British liner Egypt, on the bottom of
the Bay of Biscay, steamed into a
legal squall here today when customs
officers acting for the admiralty-mar
shal boarded the incoming vessel and
attached a writ of arrest to the fore
mast.
Jean Davy, former captain of the tug
Iroise, out of Brest, has laid claim to
a part of the treasure and has asked
that an embargo be placed on the dis
posal of the gold until a settlement can
be made. He claims that he was the
first to locate the wreck and that after
a Swedish company had abandoned it
his tug stood by until relieved by the
Artiglio.
Gold To Be Transferred.
The Italian ship put into Plymouth
to land what gold had been recovered
since last Wednesday and to take on
coal and stores. The gold will remain
on board until tomorrow, when it will
be transferred to a bonded warehouse
to await decision in the action. The
vessel will then return to its salvage
operations.
Although the salvage crew expressed
much bitterness over the seizure, after
having labored for nearly three years
in their extremely hazardous under
taking, Commander Quaglia expressed
confidence that the gold will be
speedily recovered and declared that
not only had Captain Davy not taken
an active part in the salvage opera
tions but that he had done nothing
more than locate a questionable wreck.
Through Commander Quaglia’s ef
forts, the authorities were prevailed
upon to remove the writ from the
ship’s mast and place it upon the
strong-room, where the gold'is lying,,
since it is the gold and not the ship
which is under arrest.
Notable in the crowd which watched
this modern treasure-ship come in was
Mrs. Anne Kelly, of Plymouth, one of
the seven women survivors of the
Egypt, when that ill-starred vessel went
down with great loss of life in May,
than 200,000. to cheer the 20 starters
away. The most prominent sporting
and social personalities of France and
ofher continental cities, with a great
throng of visitors from across the
Channel, assembled in the stands and
about the paddock.
All roads leading to Longchamp were
choked with hundreds of private cars,
taxis and autobuses from early in the
afternoon. Policemen were stationed
in long files nearly every two metres
from the porte Maillot to the entrance
to the track: directing the massed traf
fic. The usual wordy battles between
taxi chauffeurs and the police ensued,
much to the delight of the crowd, which
was in holiday mood.
Walking Always Good.
Many hardy “pelousards” chose walk
ing as a means of reaching the course,
and the paths through the Bois de
Boulogne were thronged with French
families, father, mother and children
on foot and batoy in the “pram.”
The President of the Republic and
Mme. Albert Lebrun entered the presi
dential box at 3 p.m. Among the Pre
sident’s guests were a number of am
bassadors and their wives. M. and
Mme. Pierre de Fouquieres, the Argen
tine ambassador and Mrs. Le Breton,
the Polish ambassador and Countess
Chlapowska, the Belgian ambassador
and Baronne de Gaiffier d'Hestroy, M.
and Mme. Chiappe, Mme. Bouisson, the
Marquise del Merito, Mme. Dunand
and the Canadian minister and Mrs.
Philippe Roy were among those noted.
On the pelouse side of Longchamp
every taxi driver in Paris seemed to
have hastened to take a flyer or. the
horses. Crowding their machines as
closely to the rail as possible, the
chauffeurs clambered to the roofs of
the taxis to watch the race.
The queues before the 5-franc bet
ting-booths were long, serpentine trails,
as multicolored as confetti because of
the women’s brilliant dresses. Brilliant
yellows, saffrons and pomegranate reds
made the heterogeneous throng more
colorful than usual.
' Paddock a Flower Garden.
The paddock resembled a garden,
with flowery frocks and varicolored
hats moving gently across green lawns
and gravel walks. Society women and
mannequins vied in showing latest
styles and brilliant colors. Flowing
chiffons in black, white and blues were
as popular as ever, worn with large
capeline hats, many of which are made
in fabr irs;-especially hi linen and vel
vet, while chic small toques were chosen
, by many. Some of the loveliest gowns
were of white organdy ruffles and of
ruffled white chiffon with sashes and
muffs of pale blue velvet. Reds and

* *
DUBLIN, Sunday. — Reviving tradi
tional hatred between the Orangemen
of the north of Ireland and the south
ern Catholics, a savage attack on pil
grims to the Eucharist Congress was
launched by a crowd of 200 Ulstermen
at Larne, Antrim, shortly before 2 a.m.
today when a steamer carrying 1.400
worshippers to Dublin for the pontifical
mass was assailed at its dock.
Bottles, stones, lumps of coal, pieces
of iron and other missiles were hurled
at the Catholic pilgrims as they boarded
the boat.
Police reserves, hastily summoned,
could not break up the fray until a
number of the pilgrims had been in
jured. The victims received medical
treatment on arrival at Dublin.
SHELL BLAST KILLS 4
(By Wireless to The Herald.)
NEW YORK, Sunday.—Father Fran
cis P. Duffy, famous as the fighting
chaplain of the 165th infantry o + ' the
Rainbow division and one of the most
beloved figures in the A.E.F., died at
St. Vincent’s Hospital today. He had
been in poor health for some months
with a liver ailment.
The Catholic chaplain sajy action
with the Rainbow division in Cham
pagne, Chateau-Thierry, Verdun, the
Argonne and Saint-Mihiel. He returned
to the battle scenes for the last time
in 1930, when he was a member of the
group of Rainbow division veterans
who returned to France to visit the
ground over which they had struggled
so bitterly during the war.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sunday.—Mrs.

day.
She is believed to be the world’s
oldest war nurse, having served in the
American Civil war, the Philippine in
surrection and the Spanish-American
war. She lives in a suburb of San
Francisco in a turret-like habitation
christened “Minerva’s Fort” and has
only a meagre private income.
She was an intimate friend of Flor

family was arrested and held inco-
municado when the revolt broke.
“His Majesty has high hopes for the
nation’s future prosperity and peace
under the new form of government,”
reads one of the royal announcements
made today. “A change in our gov
ernment has long been in his mind,
but he had felt he was not capable of
bringing about the change alone.”
Siam was calm today and business
will be carried on as usual. The onlv
evidences of the theoretical “martial

rumbling through the capital’s streets
and a heavy body of troops stationed
around the palace.
Britain Seeking Diplomatic
Formula to Relieve Reich
and Yet Placate France.
(From The Herald and Herald Tribune Bureau)
LAUSANNE, Sunday.—After 10 days
of hotel-room negotiations which still
leave the French and German posi
tions sharply opposed on fundamental
principles, there is a growing belief
among the more neutral delegations at
the Lausanne conference that no one
government can afford to provoke this
parley’s failure and that virtually the
end of reparation payments will be
achieved here.
This feeling is entertained by British,
Italian and other experienced officials
despite their fears that the Germans
and French may cjire to the verge of
a rupture this week.
Fortunate Start.
The more optimistic delegates say
the discussions have made a fortunate
beginning here by avoiding rude shocks
or the entrenchment of the Germans
and the French as standing pat on
opposing sides in public declarations.
They point out also that the disas
trous financial consequences to Ger
many and Central Europe are so evi
dent and imminent that the confer
ence's complete failure is unthinkable.
Hence those who look beyond the
parley’s necessary Franco - German
crisis, which is likely to arrive Tuesday
or Wednesday, foresee virtual Cancella
tion of reparations as such before the
conference goes into subcommittees
which probably will spend the remain
der of the summer working out details
of the European reconstruction scheme.
Diplomatic Formula Sought.
What is sought by the British and
other countries is a diplomatic formula
which would wipe out all reparations
except perhaps one lump sum pay
ment after several years of complete
moratorium and which would be so
camouflaged as to save the faces of
both the German and French' delega
tions.
The British feel the conference has
progressed favorably ehough to date to

ANNE MORGAN MADE
LEGION OF HONOR
COMMANDER
BLERANCOURT (Aisne), Sunday.—
Two American women, Miss Anne
Morgan apd Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt,
were honored here today by the French
government in appreciation for their
aid in the restoration of the war-de
vastated regions of France.
Miss Morgan, as organizer of the
Societe des Amis du Musee de Bleran-
court, the Franco-American foundation
organized to perpetuate the work of
the American committee for the res
toration of the devastated regions, was
made a commander of the Legion of
Honor. She is the second woman to
wear the decoration, the first being
the Comtesse de Noailles. Mrs. W. K.
Vanderbilt was promoted to officer of
the Legion of Honor. Andre Tardieu
conferred the decorations.
Today's ceremony was threefold. In
addition to honoring Miss Morgan and
Mrs. Vanderbilt, the ceremony included
the dedication of the Logis de Bleran-
court, the guest house made possible
by the generosity of the American
women for the convenience of visitors
to the Franco-American Museum here,
and observance of the 200th anniver
sary of George Washington as a friend
of France.
Tardieu Recalls Visit of A.E.F.
M. Tardieu in his address reminded
the village people of the presence just
15 years ago of the American forces in
their midst and of the “force which
since had made itself felt in the gift
of the two most generous Americans.”
Blerancourt and its 17th-century cha
teau, only two pavilions of which re
main surrounded by ancient moats
converted into rose gardens, was the
scene of much of the most severe de
vastation of the World war. It was
here that the American committee
found a field for reconstruction and
that the Societe des Amis du Musee
de Blerancourt was founded by Miss
Morgan, who purchased the chateau,
restored all that was left of it and
presented it to the nation which now

of Bryan—in spite of the fact that he

BERLIN, Sunday. — Cancellation by
National Socialists of their, plans for a

the country conspicuously quiet today.
Bavarian authorities, nevertheless,
took precautionary measures against

In Berlin a crowd of 30,000 heard
Paul Loebe, Reichstag speaker, declare
that 800,000 Socialist Republicans
would march against Hitler's 400,000
storm troops, should the latter attempt
to demonstrate.
The only points at which Sunday’s
calm was broken were at Landsberg,
near the Polish border, where a Com
munist speaker was shot by an uniden
tified assassin, and at Leipzig, where
several persons were injured in street
fighting.
In Berlin 70 persons were arrested
when they refused to disperse, follow

Leo Keena’s Son
Out of Danger
(Special to The Herald.)
LONDON, Sunday.—David P. Keena,
20-year-old son of Leo J. Keena, Amer
ican consul-general in Paris, who was
injured yesterday when he fell acci
dentally from the roof of a college
building at Oxford, was reported today
to be progressing favorably.
It is understood that the young un
dergraduate’s injuries are not as serious
as first reported and that he will be
released from hospital in a few days.
It was reported at first that young
Keena had injured his spine in the fall.
Keena’s father and mother reached
England from Paris today and hurried
to his bedside. It is understood that
Mr. Keena will return to Paris tomor
row, while Mrs. Keena will remain at
Oxford until her son is fully recovered.

with that of the Missourian, who lost
the chance to become the party's
standard-bearer when on the 46th bal
lot Wilson was named on a ticket
which swept him into the White House.
The two conventions may be com
pared as follows:—
1912
Total vote, 1,088.
Necessary for choice, 726 (two thirds).
Simple majority, 544.
1932
Total, vote, 1,154.
Necessary for choice, 770 Two thirds).
Simple majority. 578.
Governor Roosevelt has come to the
convention with 485 pledged votes, but
his management claims 691, or 113
more than a simple majority. Although
this claim is contested by the anti-
Roosevelt forces, it is highly probable
that the New York governor has in
deed a majority. •
In the 1912 convention Clark, had 556
votes on the 10th ballot—two more
than a simple majority. From then on,
under the Bryan onslaughts, his
strength withered.. By the 45th ballot
it had dropped to 306 votes, and on the
46th, when the Wilson landslide ac
counted for 990 votes, Clark had only
84.
The interesting question now raised
is whether Alfred E. Smith, by his op
position to Roosevelt here, will be cast
in Bryan's 1912 role at Baltimore.
Although Smith has declared himself
to bs “for Alfred E. Smith first, last
and all the time,” his position might
become parallel to that of the Com
moner, for like Bryan, Smith un
doubtedly wields the whip, although
his own chances for the candidacy
seem remote.
It is remembered that after the 1912
convention, Clark issued a statement
declaring that he lost the nomination
“through the vile and malicious slan
ders of William Jennings Bryan,” but
despite his bitterness in defeat he pro
mised Wilson his full support.
Delegates tonight, foreseeing a simi
lar bitter struggle between Smith and
Roosevelt forces, were discussing the
possibility of Baker assuming strength
such as came to Wilson under similar
circumstances.
CURTIS BABY HOAX

and obstructing justice.
Sixty-two talesmen, including 23 wo
men, have been summoned. Defence
counsel indicated today they will con
tend Curtis’ confession was obtained
partly by third-degree methods and
partly through false, promises. Colonel
Lindbergh will be the chief witness at
the trial.
Brown Derby Hopes to Weld
384 Favorite - Son Votes
Into Bloc to Bring About
Band Wagon Breakdown.
(By Wireless to The Herald.)
CHICAGO, Sunday.—Facing a
bitter fight over Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s deter
mination to win the nomination
through abrogation of the two-
thirds rule, the Democratic na
tional convention which will
name presidential and vice-pre
sidential candidates to oppose
the Hoover-Curtis ticket in No
vember opens here tomorrow.
Tonight Governor Roosevelt,
in apparent control of the con
vention, was far out in front of
the seven other candidates, the
majority of which are favorite
sons.
Dares Leaders’ Wrath.
But there is no doubt but what his
attempts to substitute the majority for
the two-thirds rule will bring down on
his head the wrath of many leaders,
who may be alienated should Roose
velt win by such tactics.
The fight over the traditional two-
thirds rule, which has stood in Dem
ocratic conventions for more than 100
years, overshadows every other issue
on the eve of the convention, and
even the prohibition question appears
to have been settled and has been
relegated to the background.
Governor Roosevelt, with 485 dele
gates pledged to him and claiming 691,
admittedly; will have a convention ma
jority of 578 votes when it convenes to
morrow, but whether he can swing this
majority into line to discard a tradi
tional rule that the south has clung
to as a veto on the east for nearly 100
years could not be predicted tonight.
The Roosevelt candidacy received a
miniature boom tonight when Senator
James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois,
withdrew as a favorite son. The New
York governor’s managers immediately
pointed to the action as strengthening
the governor’s position, but the Illi
nois vote had already been claimed by
the Roosevelt forces both for abroga
tion of the two-thirds rule and for
Roosevelt after a’ complimentary vote
had been given to Lewis.
Barkley to Stress Repeal.
It is understood tonight that Sen
ator Alben W. Barkley, of Kentucky,
who will make the keynote speech to
morrow as temporary chairman, will '
advance a flat recommendation for a
plank to submit repeal of the 18th
amendment to the people. This stra
tegy, it is hoped, will be fruitful in view
of the fact that the Republican key
noter, Senator L. J. Dickinson, of
Iowa, entirely neglected prohibition in
his address.
The first fight will come tomorrow
when the Roosevelt managers will
attempt to seat Senator Thomas J.
Walsh, of Montana, as permanent
chairman of the convention over Jouett
Shouse, chairman of the party’s na
tional executive committee, who is
sympathetic to the Smith candidacy,
or at least opposed to Roosevelt.
Forces gathered around the standard
of former Governor Alfred E. Smith,
of New York, tonight were making an
effort to solidify the favorite-son vote
into a bloc that will stop the Roose
velt band wagon. The bloc, if it rallies
to the Smith banner, will have 378
pledged votes and can undoubtedly
pick up enough from the doubtful list

Actors* Union Calls Uncle Sam,
Garbo, Dietrich Face Deportation
(By Special Cable to The Herald.)
NEW YORK, Sunday. — Greta
Garbo and Marlene Dietrich, two of
the highest paid members of Holly
wood’s colony of foreign film stars, may
be deported by United States immigra
tion officials for having overstayed
their legal welcome, the theatrical
weekly, “Variety,” states today.
Neither artist, it is pointed out, is
now employed, the contracts under
which they were admitted to the
United States having expired. Since
neither sought admittance under the
section of the Jaw which permits
artists to enter the country in pursuit
of their profession, both are now said
to be liable to deportation.

DUBLIN, Sunday. — Amid
scenes of religious devotion un
paralleled in intensity since the
Middle Ages, 1,000,000 persons
heard mass in the open air at
Phoenix Park today, climaxing
the thirty-first International
Eucharist Congress.
A message from Pope Pius,
scheduled to he broadcast to
Dublin from the Vatican at
1 p.m,. could not be heard, but
the great crowd knelt in utter
silence during the period of the
papal blessing.
Cardinal Lauri, papal legate, cele
brated pontifical high mass. Following
the service with murmured prayers like
a low roar of thunder, the massed hun
dreds of thousands alternately knelt
and rose, many of them almost weep
ing with pious fervor. It was the larg
est congregation that has ever heard
mass, fulfilling the hopes of the con
gress organizers.
A magnificently-decoratea grand al
tar dominated the park. The gover
nor-general of the Free State and Mrs.
MacNeill occupied a special place be
fore the altar with President De Va'
lera, members of the government, dip
lomatic representatives and Catholic
notables.
24,000 Guard Marchers.
Row upon row behind them were
members ot the Church orders, and be
hind the seats of honor the sea of wdr-
shippers filled the park and flowed on
beyond for a mile to College Green, in
the centre of the city.
Marching men and women jammed
the three-mile route to the park before
the mass. A force of 4,000 soldiers and
police and 20,000 stewards kept order
in the streets as the religious proces
sion passed on ahead. Over the city
could be heard the paean of hundreds
of thousands of voices singing the
hymns broadcast by the grand choir
before the altar in Phcenix Park.
Relayed by amplifiers to the million
worshippers, the magnificent tenor of
Count John MacConnack, attired in
the robes of a papal chamberlain,
opened the devotional prelude to the
mass. Cardinal Hayes, of New York,
and Archbishop Curley, of Baltimore,
were among the throng of prelates who
assisted at the service.
A brief address was made to the
congregation during the mass by Car
dinal Lauri.
Strip the Willow, A. J. Duggan’s
three-year-old, which as a 27 to 1 out
sider won the French Derby or Prix
du Jockey Club at Chantilly two weeks
ago, yesterday captured the rich Grand
Prix de Paris at Longchamp in going-
away style, bringing the “Grande Se-
maine” to a brilliant close and. the Ar
gentine owner 1,030,300 francs and the
fame of having saddled the winner of
two major stakes.
Second horse since the war to win
the Jockey Club and the Grand Prix,
Strip the Willow, the Herald selection,
was heavily backed and paid 59 francs.
R. Brethes, who had the leg up, piloted
the winner in faultless style.
Satrap Second by a Neck.
A length and a half behind, Satrap
(S. Donoghue up) just outstayed Fog
Horn by a short neck to take the place.
The rest of the field was bunched two
lengths behind, with Rareweed, second
choice, finishing in the ruck.
Perfect weather brought out the
week’s most fashionable crowd of more

“The thoughts of all the Catholic
world are centred on the blessed land
of St. Patrick as this great celebra
tion is about to reach its climax,” he * 922 -
said, exhorting the devout to revivify
their faith in presence of “the* real
Jesus Christ in the sacrement of this
altar.”
Deep silence fell over the scene as
Dublin clocks sounded 1 p.m. Realizing
after a few moments that a breakdown
in transmission must have occurred,
the entire throng knelt as though it i
were one small congregation and re
mained with heads bowed until the
service was resumed.
On conclusion of the mass, the crowd
received the apostolic benediction from
Cardinal Lauri and then burst into
cheers which echoed over the city. Re
joicing in the public places of the ca
pital and in all religious and govern
ment institutions reigned unabated
throughout the rest of the day.

ARTIGLIO’S HAUL
OF GOLD SLIPS OFF
INTO LEGAL DEPTHS
(Special to The Herald.)
PLYMOUTH, Sunday.—The Artiglio
II., Italian salvage ship which during
the last four days brought up nearly
$1,000,000 in gold from the sunken
British liner Egypt, on the bottom of
the Bay of Biscay, steamed into a
legal squall here today when customs
officers acting for the admiralty-mar
shal boarded the incoming vessel and
attached a writ of arrest to the fore
mast.
Jean Davy, former captain of the tug
Iroise, out of Brest, has laid claim to
a part of the treasure and has asked
that an embargo be placed on the dis
posal of the gold until a settlement can
be made. He claims that he was the
first to locate the wreck and that after
a Swedish company had abandoned it
his tug stood by until relieved by the
Artiglio.
Gold To Be Transferred.
The Italian ship put into Plymouth
to land what gold had been recovered
since last Wednesday and to take on
coal and stores. The gold will remain
on board until tomorrow, when it will
be transferred to a bonded warehouse
to await decision in the action. The
vessel will then return to its salvage
operations.
Although the salvage crew expressed
much bitterness over the seizure, after
having labored for nearly three years
in their extremely hazardous under
taking, Commander Quaglia expressed
confidence that the gold will be
speedily recovered and declared that
not only had Captain Davy not taken
an active part in the salvage opera
tions but that he had done nothing
more than locate a questionable wreck.
Through Commander Quaglia’s ef
forts, the authorities were prevailed
upon to remove the writ from the
ship’s mast and place it upon the
strong-room, where the gold'is lying,,
since it is the gold and not the ship
which is under arrest.
Notable in the crowd which watched
this modern treasure-ship come in was
Mrs. Anne Kelly, of Plymouth, one of
the seven women survivors of the
Egypt, when that ill-starred vessel went
down with great loss of life in May,
than 200,000. to cheer the 20 starters
away. The most prominent sporting
and social personalities of France and
ofher continental cities, with a great
throng of visitors from across the
Channel, assembled in the stands and
about the paddock.
All roads leading to Longchamp were
choked with hundreds of private cars,
taxis and autobuses from early in the
afternoon. Policemen were stationed
in long files nearly every two metres
from the porte Maillot to the entrance
to the track: directing the massed traf
fic. The usual wordy battles between
taxi chauffeurs and the police ensued,
much to the delight of the crowd, which
was in holiday mood.
Walking Always Good.
Many hardy “pelousards” chose walk
ing as a means of reaching the course,
and the paths through the Bois de
Boulogne were thronged with French
families, father, mother and children
on foot and batoy in the “pram.”
The President of the Republic and
Mme. Albert Lebrun entered the presi
dential box at 3 p.m. Among the Pre
sident’s guests were a number of am
bassadors and their wives. M. and
Mme. Pierre de Fouquieres, the Argen
tine ambassador and Mrs. Le Breton,
the Polish ambassador and Countess
Chlapowska, the Belgian ambassador
and Baronne de Gaiffier d'Hestroy, M.
and Mme. Chiappe, Mme. Bouisson, the
Marquise del Merito, Mme. Dunand
and the Canadian minister and Mrs.
Philippe Roy were among those noted.
On the pelouse side of Longchamp
every taxi driver in Paris seemed to
have hastened to take a flyer or. the
horses. Crowding their machines as
closely to the rail as possible, the
chauffeurs clambered to the roofs of
the taxis to watch the race.
The queues before the 5-franc bet
ting-booths were long, serpentine trails,
as multicolored as confetti because of
the women’s brilliant dresses. Brilliant
yellows, saffrons and pomegranate reds
made the heterogeneous throng more
colorful than usual.
' Paddock a Flower Garden.
The paddock resembled a garden,
with flowery frocks and varicolored
hats moving gently across green lawns
and gravel walks. Society women and
mannequins vied in showing latest
styles and brilliant colors. Flowing
chiffons in black, white and blues were
as popular as ever, worn with large
capeline hats, many of which are made
in fabr irs;-especially hi linen and vel
vet, while chic small toques were chosen
, by many. Some of the loveliest gowns
were of white organdy ruffles and of
ruffled white chiffon with sashes and
muffs of pale blue velvet. Reds and

DUBLIN, Sunday. — Reviving tradi

of the north of Ireland and the south

grims to the Eucharist Congress was
launched by a crowd of 200 Ulstermen
at Larne, Antrim, shortly before 2 a.m.
today when a steamer carrying 1.400
worshippers to Dublin for the pontifical
mass was assailed at its dock.
Bottles, stones, lumps of coal, pieces
of iron and other missiles were hurled
at the Catholic pilgrims as they boarded
the boat.
Police reserves, hastily summoned,
could not break up the fray until a
number of the pilgrims had been in
jured. The victims received medical
treatment on arrival at Dublin.
SHELL BLAST KILLS 4
(By Wireless to The Herald.)
NEW YORK, Sunday.—Father Fran

St. Vincent’s Hospital today. He had
been in poor health for some months
with a liver ailment.
The Catholic chaplain sajy action

Britain Seeking Diplomatic
Formula to Relieve Reich
and Yet Placate France.
(From The Herald and Herald Tribune Bureau)
LAUSANNE, Sunday.—After 10 days
of hotel-room negotiations which still
leave the French and German posi
tions sharply opposed on fundamental
principles, there is a growing belief
among the more neutral delegations at
the Lausanne conference that no one
government can afford to provoke this
parley’s failure and that virtually the
end of reparation payments will be
achieved here.
This feeling is entertained by British,
Italian and other experienced officials
despite their fears that the Germans
and French may cjire to the verge of
a rupture this week.
Fortunate Start.
The more optimistic delegates say
the discussions have made a fortunate
beginning here by avoiding rude shocks
or the entrenchment of the Germans
and the French as standing pat on
opposing sides in public declarations.
They point out also that the disas
trous financial consequences to Ger
many and Central Europe are so evi
dent and imminent that the confer
ence's complete failure is unthinkable.
Hence those who look beyond the
parley’s necessary Franco - German
crisis, which is likely to arrive Tuesday
or Wednesday, foresee virtual Cancella
tion of reparations as such before the
conference goes into subcommittees
which probably will spend the remain
der of the summer working out details
of the European reconstruction scheme.
Diplomatic Formula Sought.
What is sought by the British and
other countries is a diplomatic formula
which would wipe out all reparations
except perhaps one lump sum pay
ment after several years of complete
moratorium and which would be so
camouflaged as to save the faces of
both the German and French' delega
tions.
The British feel the conference has
progressed favorably ehough to date to

ANNE MORGAN MADE
LEGION OF HONOR
COMMANDER
BLERANCOURT (Aisne), Sunday.—
Two American women, Miss Anne
Morgan apd Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt,
were honored here today by the French
government in appreciation for their
aid in the restoration of the war-de
vastated regions of France.
Miss Morgan, as organizer of the
Societe des Amis du Musee de Bleran-
court, the Franco-American foundation
organized to perpetuate the work of
the American committee for the res
toration of the devastated regions, was
made a commander of the Legion of
Honor. She is the second woman to
wear the decoration, the first being
the Comtesse de Noailles. Mrs. W. K.
Vanderbilt was promoted to officer of
the Legion of Honor. Andre Tardieu
conferred the decorations.
Today's ceremony was threefold. In
addition to honoring Miss Morgan and
Mrs. Vanderbilt, the ceremony included
the dedication of the Logis de Bleran-
court, the guest house made possible
by the generosity of the American
women for the convenience of visitors
to the Franco-American Museum here,
and observance of the 200th anniver
sary of George Washington as a friend
of France.
Tardieu Recalls Visit of A.E.F.
M. Tardieu in his address reminded
the village people of the presence just
15 years ago of the American forces in
their midst and of the “force which
since had made itself felt in the gift
of the two most generous Americans.”
Blerancourt and its 17th-century cha
teau, only two pavilions of which re
main surrounded by ancient moats
converted into rose gardens, was the
scene of much of the most severe de
vastation of the World war. It was
here that the American committee
found a field for reconstruction and
that the Societe des Amis du Musee

Morgan, who purchased the chateau,
restored all that was left of it and
presented it to the nation which now

Leo Keena’s Son

(Special to The Herald.)
LONDON, Sunday.—David P. Keena,
20-year-old son of Leo J. Keena, Amer

dentally from the roof of a college
building at Oxford, was reported today
to be progressing favorably.
It is understood that the young un
dergraduate’s injuries are not as serious
as first reported and that he will be
released from hospital in a few days.
It was reported at first that young
Keena had injured his spine in the fall.
Keena’s father and mother reached
England from Paris today and hurried
to his bedside. It is understood that
Mr. Keena will return to Paris tomor

with that of the Missourian, who lost
the chance to become the party's
standard-bearer when on the 46th bal
lot Wilson was named on a ticket
which swept him into the White House.
The two conventions may be com
pared as follows:—
1912
Total vote, 1,088.
Necessary for choice, 726 (two thirds).
Simple majority, 544.
1932
Total, vote, 1,154.
Necessary for choice, 770 Two thirds).
Simple majority. 578.
Governor Roosevelt has come to the
convention with 485 pledged votes, but
his management claims 691, or 113
more than a simple majority. Although
this claim is contested by the anti-
Roosevelt forces, it is highly probable
that the New York governor has in
deed a majority. •
In the 1912 convention Clark, had 556
votes on the 10th ballot—two more
than a simple majority. From then on,
under the Bryan onslaughts, his
strength withered.. By the 45th ballot
it had dropped to 306 votes, and on the
46th, when the Wilson landslide ac
counted for 990 votes, Clark had only
84.
The interesting question now raised
is whether Alfred E. Smith, by his op
position to Roosevelt here, will be cast
in Bryan's 1912 role at Baltimore.
Although Smith has declared himself
to bs “for Alfred E. Smith first, last
and all the time,” his position might
become parallel to that of the Com
moner, for like Bryan, Smith un
doubtedly wields the whip, although
his own chances for the candidacy
seem remote.
It is remembered that after the 1912
convention, Clark issued a statement
declaring that he lost the nomination
“through the vile and malicious slan
ders of William Jennings Bryan,” but
despite his bitterness in defeat he pro
mised Wilson his full support.
Delegates tonight, foreseeing a simi
lar bitter struggle between Smith and
Roosevelt forces, were discussing the
possibility of Baker assuming strength
such as came to Wilson under similar
circumstances.

(By Wireless to The Herald.)
CHICAGO, Sunday.—Facing a
bitter fight over Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s deter
mination to win the nomination
through abrogation of the two-
thirds rule, the Democratic na
tional convention which will
name presidential and vice-pre
sidential candidates to oppose
the Hoover-Curtis ticket in No
vember opens here tomorrow.
Tonight Governor Roosevelt,
in apparent control of the con
vention, was far out in front of
the seven other candidates, the
majority of which are favorite
sons.
Dares Leaders’ Wrath.
But there is no doubt but what his
attempts to substitute the majority for
the two-thirds rule will bring down on
his head the wrath of many leaders,
who may be alienated should Roose
velt win by such tactics.
The fight over the traditional two-
thirds rule, which has stood in Dem
ocratic conventions for more than 100
years, overshadows every other issue
on the eve of the convention, and
even the prohibition question appears
to have been settled and has been
relegated to the background.
Governor Roosevelt, with 485 dele
gates pledged to him and claiming 691,
admittedly; will have a convention ma
jority of 578 votes when it convenes to
morrow, but whether he can swing this
majority into line to discard a tradi
tional rule that the south has clung
to as a veto on the east for nearly 100
years could not be predicted tonight.
The Roosevelt candidacy received a
miniature boom tonight when Senator
James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois,
withdrew as a favorite son. The New
York governor’s managers immediately
pointed to the action as strengthening
the governor’s position, but the Illi
nois vote had already been claimed by
the Roosevelt forces both for abroga
tion of the two-thirds rule and for
Roosevelt after a’ complimentary vote
had been given to Lewis.
Barkley to Stress Repeal.
It is understood tonight that Sen
ator Alben W. Barkley, of Kentucky,
who will make the keynote speech to
morrow as temporary chairman, will '
advance a flat recommendation for a
plank to submit repeal of the 18th
amendment to the people. This stra
tegy, it is hoped, will be fruitful in view
of the fact that the Republican key
noter, Senator L. J. Dickinson, of
Iowa, entirely neglected prohibition in
his address.
The first fight will come tomorrow
when the Roosevelt managers will
attempt to seat Senator Thomas J.
Walsh, of Montana, as permanent
chairman of the convention over Jouett
Shouse, chairman of the party’s na
tional executive committee, who is
sympathetic to the Smith candidacy,
or at least opposed to Roosevelt.
Forces gathered around the standard
