A record of gallantry as remarkable in some respects as that of Sergeant York was maoc public today by the WTar Department when announcement was made that First Lieutenant Dwight Schaffner, of Falls Church, had been awarded a Congressional Medal of Honor, the most treasured decoration given an American soldier by his Government. The citation recounting deeds of pei sonal bravery in the battle around St.

In part his citation says "In command of Company Three Hundred and Sixth Infantry, he led his men in an attack on St. Hubert's Pavilion through terrific enemy machine gun, rifle and artillery fire and drove the enemy from a strongly held entrenched position -after hand-to-hand fighting.

His bravery and contempt for danger inspired his men, enabling them to hold fast in the face of three determined enemy counter-attacks. "His company's position being exposed to enemy fire from both flanks, he made three efforts to locate an enemy machine gun which had caused heavy casualties in his company. On his third reconnaissance he discovered the gun position and personally silenced the Ex-Congressman Keating May' Get Senate Seat Governor Sweet, Of Colorado, Expected To Appoint Editor Of Labor.

Governor Sweet, it is reported here, feels that the conflict of indorsements involved in the recommendations of former President Wilson and his son-in-law, William G. McAdoo, former Secretary of the Treasury, makes the selection of some one else imperative. The Colorado Governor is regarded as representing the political views held by Mr. Keating, who is a stanch labor advocate, and who has become imbued with the idea' it will be necessary to broaden. the program of the labor group in order to include the farmer, the brain worker and the salaried group.

Protests Visit To U. S. Of Soviet President' Wife National Civic Federation Committee Sends Message To Secretary. Of Labor. New York, April 7.

The National Civic Federation's Soviet propaganda committee today sent a message to Secretary of Labor Davis protesting against the proposed visit to. America of Mme. Ekaterina Kalinin, wife of the president' of the Russian Soviet Republic. The committee said it was of the unanimous opinion that the very idea of Mme. Kalinin's visit is offensive, especially at this time when not only the Government of the United States but the civilized governments of the whole world are horrified at the brutal execution of Mgr.

Butchkavitch, slain, the letter declared, on a warrant signed by Mme. Kalinin's husband. "Under the guise of a philanthropic mission, there is no doubt that Mme. Kalinin's visit here would be for propaganda purposes," the protest read. "Already arrangements are being made in pro-Bolshevist circles to exploit her to the full, including plans to have her entertained by rich women who are So viet sympathizers gun, killing or wounding the crew thereof.

Enemy Employed Rase. "The third counter-attack made by the enemy was initiated by the appearance of a small detachment advancing well in advance of the enemy attacking wave, calling as they advanced, 'Kam-erad When almost within reach of the American front line the enemy attacking wave behind them appeared, attacking vigorously with pistols, rifles and hand grenades and causing heavy casualties in the American platoon holding the advanced position. "Lieutenant Schaffner mounted the parapet of the trench and used his pistol and grenades with great gallantry and effect, killing a number of enemy soldiers. He finally reached the enemy officer leading the attacking forces, a captain, shooting and mortally wounding the latter with his pistol. He then dragged the captured officer back to the company's trench, securing from him valuable information as to the enemy's strength and position.

"The information so secured -enabled Lieutenant Schaffner to maintain for five hours the advanced oosition of his company despite the fact' that it was surrounded on three sides by strong enemy forces. The undaunted bravery, gallant soldierly conduct and leadership displayed by Lieutenant Schaffner undoubtedly saved the survivors of the company from death or capture. Woman And Two 'Men Believed Chapman's Aides Thought To Have Helped Mall Bandit Escape From Atlanta Prison. By the Associated Press. 1 Athens, April 7.

Chapman "is being well taken care of by his confederates who furnished the money for his escape from the Atlanta prison" in the opinion of William J. Burns, director of the Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice, said shortly before leaving here for New Orleans tonight. Mr.

Burns said information had come to him which led him to believe members of a New York gang visited Atlanta and spent money freely in preparing the way and helping Chapman in his flight from the prison walls. Mr. Burns, is en route to Los Angeles to interview Herbert Wilson, a prisoner, who claims to know about the bomb which caused the Wall street explosion in 1920. Mrs, iY. D.

MEETING CALLED General HinesSummons District Managers To Discuss Problems. HOPES TO CUT EXPENSES Federal Hospitalization Board Also To Hold Con- -ferences. From The Sun Bureau. Washington.

April 7. As a forerunner of elimination of surplus personnel, further economies in management and reorganization and an inventory of soldier aid problems of every kind, announcement is made here that 14 district managers of the United States Veterans' Bureau have been summoned to Washington for a three-day conference. Frank T. Ilines, the new director of the bureau, has called such a conference to convene April 23. The notice sent the district managers hints that they are to come prepared to give full account of their stewardship and to make recommendations, including possible changes in personnel, that will improve the administration-of the bureau.

To Reduce Personnel. General Hines said- today he hoped to wind up the conference in three days, but so many questions are pending that a longer time may be required. That there will be personnel reductions and administrative economies ordered in several districts is the impression in Washington. Every question from that of caring for men in hospitals, who are physically fit to earn their own living but prefer to draw disability pay and receive medical attention1, to that of providing for more economic use of office supplies is on the program of work which has been outlined for the conference. Hines Outlines Work, General Hines today made public an outline of the work he has cut out and announced that he expected decisions would be reached on the big controversial questions, either while the district managers are assembled here in Washington or immediately thereafter.

Various means are being adopted to expedite the work of the bureau, the latest change being the substitution of radio for telegraph wires in transmit' ting all the messages of the Veterans' Bureau from headquarters in Washington to the Chicago office. The army is handling the transmission of messages. Should that form of communication prove advantageous to the bureau as between Washington and Chicago it will be extended to other parts of the country, so General Hines announced today. The director of the bureau explained that use of the army radio is but part of his general policy of utilizing all Government agencies to further the work of his bureau. Col.

Charles R. Forbes, former director, stated that. 40 per cent, of the men now. in hospitals Bhould be discharged as physically fit to resume their old places in society, and suggested that' a considerable number of the veterans who still are on the rolls as hospital patients prefer to remain there and draw their disability pay to endeavoring to. make their own living.

General Hines said that that is one of the questions on the program in connection with the problems of the medical division. Among others will be that of discontinuing some of the medical personnel, at full time as well as part time. In connection with this it wiil be ascertained whether there can be some reduction in the nursing force. Explains Object Of "I have asked the district managers of the 14 districts to be here on April 23," said General Hines, "And have instructed them to prepare themselves to go into matters fully. I have asked them to submit the problems they have in their districts in advance, bo I may be conversant with them when they arrive.

"Among the problems which I have told them I intend to take up are the following: An inspection service to cover all activities of the bureau, in the central office as well as in the field the desirability of extending the budget system to all classes of expenditures the furnishing of district boards with information on all troublesome cases the possibility of limiting personnel in district offices, and the desirability of closing some of the suboffices. "In the medical division there are 20 different subjects to come up for discussion in the rehabilitation division, 21; supply division, 20; claims, 5. We are to decide when a man who has been receiving compensation on a temporary basis for a considerable length of time without change in his classification shall be changed to the permanent basis and how long a man may be away on sick leave and still receive training pay." In addition' to the meeting of the directors here, General Hines said a meeting of the Federal Hospitalization Board, of which Charles E. Sawyer is the head, will be held here April 11. It is probable that the report of the White commission, which reported overhospitalization, will be taken up for discussion then.

General Hines said today that it is his intention, despite the W'hite report, to continue the construction of new hospitals" as contemplated by the second Langley bill, which appropriated for that work. The first hospital bill for the World War veterans carried an appropriation of $18,000,000. Assails Veterans' Bnrean. if C. Hamilton national commander of the Disabled American Veterans, attacked the Veterans' Bureau's rehabilitation methods and demanded immediate remedial measures in a statement here today.

"Throughout the talk of alleged graft and maladministration of the Veterans' Bureau," he said, "I have persistently maintained that the so-called rehabilitation program would result in revelations that would utterly shock the American people. Charges Improper Methods. "Thousands of men have been and are being 'trained' for work for which they are temperamentally, educationally and physically Every day I am finding in hospitals men who have been there from a year to four years who cannot even read or write, but who have been 'advised to start training upon discharge in some trade or profession which would be humorous were it not tragical. "It seems unbelievable that there has been no one in the Veterans' Bureau who, during these years, has not felt that a man who was good enough to be wounded defending the Constitution should not be taught to at least read it."

A seizure by Florida prohibition agents of a schooner 15 miles beyond the three-mile limit has been sustained in the Florida courts, according to a report today to Prohibition Commissioner Haynes by A. L. Allen, Florida prohibition director.

"This decision gives us the boat and liquor," Allen reported, "and five men convicted in this case will probably be sentenced. There was some question as to the legality of this seizure, as the boat was really overtaken and surrendered about 18 miles out at sea. Our boat, however, had chased them from within the three-mile limit for more than 18 miles before overtaking them." In the absence from Washington of Commissioner Haynes and other high officials of the Prohibition Bureau no comment on the effect of the decision on rum-running was available here. It was said that a careful examination of the text of the decision and a thorough inquiry into all circumstances would be necessary in any ent before the precise value of the case as a precedent could be established. 58 Killed By Autos In New York In March Police Report 1,489 Persons Run Down During: Tbe Month In Metropolis.

EYANS BLAMES KLAN TROUBLE ON CLARKE Imperial Wizard Says Former Publicity Man Is Engineering Legal Battle.

Sensational charges that the present legal battle to oust him from control of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan was conceived and is being engineered by Edward Young Clarke and Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler Grow, former associates in the propagation department of the klan, were made early tonight by Dr. H.

W. Evans, imperial wizard of the organization. Dr. Evans simultaneously made public a copy of a telegram he said he sent from Washington last Monday night before he was aware of court action being taken instructing national officials to call a convention of klansmen from every State in the Union, to be held in Atlanta in the near future, for the express purpose of considering the advisability of organizing a woman's auxiliary to the klan. Clarke Dropped By Klan.

Clarke recently retired from the klan, tendering his resignation to i the imperial wizard. Later a proclamation was issued from the imperial palace saying that "for the good of the klan" Clarke was no longer recognized as an official of the order. Federal authorities are now seeking him on an indictment charging him with white slavery in Texas and another true bill charging him with using the mails to defraud. Mrs. Grow, better known in klan circles as Mrs.

Elizabeth Tyler, retired from the klan about two years ago after sensational charges had been placed against her and Clarke. Her resignation followed an alleged attempt to assassinate her at her home near here. Judsre Renders Decision. Superior Judge E. Thomas this morning placed the affairs of the klan in the hands of a commission of three men, pending further orders from the court.

Larceny Charges Dropped. Following the action in Judge Thomas' court, T. J. McKinnon, chief investigator for the klan, and N. N.

Furney, cashier for the order, were placed on trial in Municipal Judge T. O. Hathcock's court on charges of larceny after trus. Both were dismissed. McKinnon was alleged to have removed checks for approximately $20,000 belonging to the klan, while Furney was charged with removing $100,000 of the organization's money.

It now remains for the courts to act upon theoriginal petition of the Simmons faction for a temporary injunction directed against H. W. Evans as imperial wizard and other officers of the klan restraining them from interfering with Colonel Simmons as emperor and imperial wizard of the order he founded. This case is expected to reach a hearing within the next 10 days, attorneys stated today; COAL HANDLERS DELAY LINE French Steamer First To Suffer In Water-Front Strike. New York, April 7.

Lord Robert's stay in Buffalo was of the briefest, for in less than an hour after he had arrived he addressed the League of Nations Association gathering and departed on a train bound for Toronto. His address wat an out-and-out plea for the League of Nations as the available method of averting war, stamping out the drug traffic and traffic in women and children and advancing religion and civilization in the world.

Formerly Opposed League. "The work of the league has shown that our objections have been correct and Lord Robert has come here for the purpose of holding out the olive branch. My interpretation is that the league is willing now to surrender its objectionable features." Senator Pepper, from the very beginning, hag been one of the most ardent opponents of the league in its original form while firmly believing that some such body was essential to the peace of the world. Today he is convinced that the league has seen the error of its ways that sentiment here is in favor of entry with the objectionable features removed and that the matter soon will be brought up in a national way. Bares Plot Of Klan And Kills Himself Kent Ogden, Ivu Klux Official, Said To Have Feared Vengeance.

Clarksburg, W. April 7.

A new world's record for continuous dancing was claimed today by Miss Ruth Holleck and Jack Butler, who tripped the waxed floors of a Broadway jazz palace for 36 hours and 13 minutes. The old record was 27 hours, recently set by Miss Alma Cummings, of Texas, with several partners.

Butler retired for sleep. Physicians said both were in good physical condition. Wake Forest College Wins Point In $1,350,000 Suit evr York Court Decides Institution Is To Get Bostwlck Bequest. Raleigh, N. April 7.
