More than $30,000 is collect-d here annually.

Less than $2,000 is used to help the poor and needy. The balance i3 wasted through inefficient mismanagement, dissipated ir. expenses, and fraudulently misused. These are facts made apparent' by admissions of "charity workrs representing the American Rescue Workers and the Army in a-i investigation by the Chamber of Commerce yesterday afternoon. The investigation provoked such a display of crass stupidity and inefficiency among Good Samaritans" as is seldom, seen off the ataga.

Workers Get Biff Bonus Wise said he paid workers 30 per cent, of the money they and rewarded them will! a bonus when their collections were largo. He admitted that with the bonus -tha workers' share usually reached 50 per oent. ot the amount they collected. The bonus, it was testified, is designed to spur, the workers to greatfp efforts. From this testimony and that of others it was evident that the-offer of real cash for collecting is much more of an incentive than the love of fellow, men.

It was admitted that this bonus was paid on a sort vt sliding scale, the percentage increasing with the amount collected. In some csaes it goes as high as sixty, per (cent.

Oct.

12. Covered with grime and glory, with his plane shooting flame in the gather ing darkness lato 1 today, Lieutenant Cyrus Bettis, army aviator, won the Pulitzer ti'ophy race, feature of the national air races, broke the world's speed record of 243.67 miles per hour for a closed circuit course and estab-. llshed a new record of 248,99 miles per hour. Lieutenant A. J.

Williams, navy pilot, who established the previous record at St. Louis in 1923, came in second with an average speed of 241.71 miles per hour. Three other entries strung along behind and the sixth was unable to complete the race, having been forced do.wn by" engine trouble. Largest Crowd Attends. The largest crowd yet to attend the meet surged back and forth in' the en closures and vied for a sight of America's premier racing plmes as -UltsulBUcUUS aiiu imama.

wa- ied their planes into position on the starting line. Taking off one minute apart, the two special Curtiss racers of 017 horse power piloted by the army and navy crack pilots circled the field first for a flying start. Their race, however, was not begun together, the judges allowing for the difference in time be tween their take-offs. It was a race against time. Lieutenant Williams' speed for the first lap of 200 kilometer (124.28 miles) course was reported at 243.

b'J miles an hour, which waa a fraction of a second fastsr than tine best pre vious Pulitzer time. Immediately afterward Lieutenant Bettis' plane shot past the "home" pylon, and his time was given out as 247.81 miles an hour. Bettis Gains Speed. Lieutenant Williams' eecond lap showed a decreased speed, being 242.89 while Lieutenant Bettis continued to gain, making 248.62. At the end of the third lap it was obviously Lieutenant Bettis' race, Lieutenant Williams' speed going down to 242.39 miles per hour whiio Lieutenant Bettis' speed increased to 248.66.

Fourth lap speeds were not made public, the judges giving out in stead the announcement of Bettis' vic tory and the average for the wnoia race. i Lieutenant Bettis' first question upon landing was: "Where is Al? (Williams). I' want to ask him what was the matter with hli ship." Williams, however, had left the field immedi ately upon landing. He had been considered a stvong possibility as winner of the race niter he made an unofficial record of 302.3 miles per hour recent ly- Stands coiinpsc. The race for the John L.

Mitchell tronhv which immediately preceded the Pulitzer race and in which ten pursuu ships were entered', proved almost as thrilling as the latter eveni. So eager were the crowds for a sight ot the racing planes as they swept across the field that as many of them 4as coum crowueu past guards into the press stand with the result that, the left wing of the structure collapsed. No one was injured, however, and guards cleared the stand of all save accreuuea preos representatives. The Mitchell Trophy race was won by Lieutenant T. K.

After the wild ride, during which one of the men claims that the machine gained a speed of at least sixty miles an hour, the pair were suffering from only minor scratches and bruises and one of them from a slightly wrenched arm none of which injuries required the services of a physician. The machine was completely wrecked.

The car had been parked in front of the home of Mr. Woods, on. Twen tieth street near Eighth avenue, East Juniata, and shortly after noon Woods and George Bullock, owner of the car, got in and attempted to start the machine. The engine refused to work and the driver released the brakes and allow ed the car to start down the long gracie on Twentieth street in an at tempt to start it. Gaining speed rapidly, the machine got beyond control of the driver, and the brakes, according to Bullock, refused to work properly.

When the car in its wild run, which began near J-ilghh avenue, reached Fourth ave nue, the end of Twentieth street, Bui lock attempted to turn onto the ave nue but because of the speed at which he was traveling was unable to make tho turn. The car shot into the vacant lots at the end of the street and traversed a space of about a block over the rough ground and hurtled over the embankment. AVhen the jump was maae tne machine was going at such a speed hat it did not touch the side of the bank, but went straight out into space.

Predicating his statement on the weather conditions as they existed nt the time, Prof. McAdie said he did not think the element of danger was discernible to those on the craft, taking direct issue with Captain Anton Heinen, veteran German airship pilot, who testified at Lakehurst, N. danger signals "shrieked out loud" before the craft was wrecked.

Plans for the selection of his successor have not been disclosed. It nss been the president's custom in the past, however, to couple his announcement of the retirement of a member of his high, official family with the publication of the name of the successor. He followed that course when Secretary Hughes resigned and was succeeded bv Frank B. Kellogg, then ambassador to Loudon. i If the president follows the same course tomorrow, it appeared probable tonight that he would name Dwight F.

Davis, of Missouri, for the war portfolio. Mr. Davis has been the assistant secretary of war since J.

EE TBAYEUJiG GOODS Coveleskie Knocked Out of Box In Sensational Battle Of Series ALDRIDGE IS BRILLIANT IN SECOND BIG TRIUMPH Prospect of Seven Matches Grows As Teams Rush Back to Pittsburg (By Asscidulfrt Ffess to Altoona Tribune) AVAS.HINGTON, Oct. 12. The fury of the Pirate attack hitherto somewhat of a fable became a realty today for the first time in the world's series.

On the crest of it the National league champions cams back when their hopes seemed lost, knocked Stanley Coveleskie out of the box and captured the fifth game of the championship struggle by a margin of 6 to 3 while the strong armed and stout hearted Vic Aldridge hurled his second triumph over the Senators in brilliant fashion. It was a sensational comeback on the part of the Buccaneers who had seemed Tieaded for quick defeat after their third defeat and shutout yesterday at the hands of Walter Johnson. Tonight, as the Warring forces departed tor Pittsburg and the sixtn game there tomorrow; there was a rosier' hue to the Pirate Bill McKechnle and his young stalwarts still must take two straight games to gain the world's championship heights, the club last held in 1909, for the count still gives the Senators the edge at three games to two, but their battling rampage today has brought about a startling revival of Pittsburg hopes. Pitclilng Force Weakened Those hopes were further- brightened, by the wreckage that this savage Pirate attack left in the pitching ranks the Senators. Four Washington inoundsmen altogether felt the reckless blows of their young rivals, Zachary as well as Cpveleskie being knocked ot of the box while Win Ballou and Fred Marberry were rushed out in an attempt to check the sweeping advance of the invaders in the last three innnings.

I Bucky Harris lost the play with his bis ace, Coveleskie and now faces his fight for one more victory with a badly battered hurling staff. For tomorrow he must use either Alex Ferguson, who was credited with the third game victory after being walloped a bit, or Dutch Reuther, veteran southpaw and the only regular who has not gone to a tiring fline where the Pirates are supposed to be fatal to portsiders. With this prospect it may be 'that the issue will go to the limit of seven games with the hopes of the Senators resting again on their great veteran, Walter Johnson, who (Turn to Tugo 8) EXPLAINS PRACTICE 0 Jurist Asserts Undignified Phrase Has Caused IllFeeling PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 12. (A.

Criticism of the practice in the county courts here of bringing "tramp judges" from up-state counties to aid the local judiciary when the dockets are congested, was answered today by Judge Howard A. Davis, of common pleas court. "The undignified reference to 'tramp said Judge Davis, "has resulted in ref.isals of two outside county judges to sit in Philadelphia." Declaring that his chairmanship of the committee on criminal business of the board of judges fitted him to state the true facts" of the arrangement towards which the criticism has been aimed, Judge Davis explained the practice. Tire necessity of adjourning the courts in cases of illness among the judiciary, even when the dockets have been loaded to capacity, Judge Davis said, led in 1924 to the present arrangement, whereby continuous sessions have been maintained when lit convention. Judge Davis declared he "deeply re-srretted the unfair, and un'iist criticism of the judges of this and of other counties of our and added that the Dresent arrangement "will be continued until 1926, and longer, if necessary."

WEEKS ON GERMAN TERSViS Britain, France, Italy And Belgium Agree To Conditions LEAGUE DEMANDS NOT TO OVERTAX MEMBERS Conferences Indicate I Rhine Pact Ratification Within Few Days (By Associated Tress to Altoona Tribune) LOCARNO, Switzerland, Oct. 12. The gentleman's agreement concerning the conditions of Germany's entry into the League of Nations is a collective statement which will be signed by Great Britain France, Italy and Belgium.

By Its terms Germany agrees to join the league on the understanding that the League of Nations alone is competent to interpret the league covenant. However the powers signatory to the agreement, all of which are represented in the council, informed Germany in effect that in their opinion the League of Nations cannot ask from member states military, economic or financial contributions in case of war which would be incompatible with their capacity. Chancellor Luther and Foreign Minister Stressmann, promised the allies to give a definite answer to the league question tomorrow after con- sulfation with Berlin but they gave private assurance that it would be acceptable. France Protects Germany In a meeting of the allied and German ministers tonight France announced that she Wanted the right automatically to intervene in case of a flagrant violation of the integrity of uermany's eastern frontier, but as a protection to Germany 'was ready to submit doubtful cases of aggression against Poland and Czecho-Slovakia to the League of Nations. If Germany refused to submit the difficulty to the league then France would have the right immediately to help her eastern allies.

Moreover big things are happening in other directions, The German chancellor Dr. Luther and Foreign Minister Gustave Stresemann, had a long private meeting this afternoon with M. Briand and Austen Chamberlain, the French and British foreign ministers and it would not be surprising if ratification of the proposed Rhine pact by Germany would be followed by the evacuation of the Cologne bridgehead by the British and a considerable decrease in the French military forces now holding the left bank of the Rhine. Diplomats from the smaller countries of Europe who are here as observers say they will not be astounded to learn that -the allies, as members of the League of support a move to restore to Germany her former colony Jn East Africa.
