Forced down on an attempted hop from Rome to Ravenna yesterday, the record-breaking plane was so badly damaged that Levine has given up all plans for further flights in it.

17. Chicago. Oct. 5 Government offi cials concerned with the trial of Harry F. Sinclair and former Secretary of the Interior Fall believed today that Harry M.

Blackmer and James O'Neill, two of the important wit nesses against them in the famous Teapot Dome investigation, will return to testify. The trial is set for Oct. 17 in Washington. Blackmer is in Paris. O'Neill is said to be in Czechoslovakia, but he has not yet been subpenaed.

It is believed, however, that he will be located and that he will start back at once, so that he will be here in time to tell his story. Agents of the Government located Blackmer in Paris. According to advices received here, his passports have been taken from him, and he has been given a consular subpena which orders him to report in this country on Oct. 17. If he doesn't appear he will be fined glOOOOO under the provisions of the Walsh Act.

passed last year, and aimed virtually at the two missing witnesses. Former Senator Atlee Pomerene of Ohio, special prosecutor for the Gov ernment in the Teapot Dome cases. said today that he had every reason to believe that O'Neill and Blackmer. but particularly Blackmer, would come back and tell their stories. Blackmer and O'Neill left the United States in a hurry in June, 1825, when the Teapot Dome trial began in Cheyenne.

For more than a year they eluded all pursuit. Senator Pomerene has just re turned from a European trip. Dur ing that time he satisfied himself that the two witnesses were actually under some sort of guard. And he satisfied himself, he said, that they would be returned to this country in time for the trial. SCHAEFER RETAINED BY DALTON, FIRED OFFICIAL ASSERTS Long Beach Corporation Coun sel Also Says Discharge of Engineer Was Invalid.

Long Beach. L. Oct. 5 City Engineer John V. Schaefer, who with Public Works Commissioner William Power was dismissed by Ihe City Council last week on charges of neglect of duty, stated last night that as a result of a telephonic conversation with Mayor William J.

Dalton both he and Power would continue in office and that "everything had been smoothed over and patched up." On the heels of this declaration came an opinion from Corporation Counsel Simon Sapinsky that the dismissal vote was technically invalid until it had been approved officially by the council at a legularly scheduled public meeting. Mayor Dalton today 'declined either to confirm or deny Scbaefer's statements, adding that he must consult council members Thursday night. News of Schaefer's statement spread like wildfire throughout the city, which has been stirred to heights of excitement and interest said to eclipse even heated election contests. Especially did excitement run high at City Court, where crowds packed the interior and swarmed like bees around the outside to hear testimony in the case of Commis-tioner Power, alternately defendant and complainant, In an assault case before Judge Francis Hogan, sitting a Justice in Special Sessions. Ex-Senator Charles E.

Kussell waa counsel for Power. Decision in the assault case was reserved until Oct. 14. The case was the outcome of a fist fight between Commissioner Power and Henry Her-zog, superintendent of the water department. The fight started, the testimony showed, when Commissioner Power notified Herzog he had been suspended pending lnvestigaticn into alleged irregularities of his By WILLIAM WEEK.

Mayor James J. Walker, who raised the question, is herewith solemnly assured that various and sundry night 'lubs of Hew York do keep right on jperatiig after 3 a. the magic deadline hour set by his beloved Curfew Law. chief executive of New York, it appears, following his return from a tour of Europe, learned from private sources of information that in his absence there had been a falling oil in the proper respect for his Three o'clock Law. And right out in open meeting of the Board of Estimate he threatened that on the "first cool night," one of these days, he would go right down among the night clubs, like a modern Haroun al-Raschid in disguise, and find out If this were so.

Well, sir, last night, or more prop-i rly this morning, was nice and cool. The Mayor, so far as could be determined by a survey of a dozen or so of the night clubs, was not among these or their like. this cor respondent, always careiul of the needs and best interests of the Mayor's people, disguised himself in a dinner coat and a black tie and, accompanied only by a young man friend, lived, for a few brief hours of the night, as does the typical New York Man-About-Town. Jau Still Strong at A.M. And he discovered it could be done to the accompaniment of saxophone jazz music and the intoxicating swerve and glide of handsome feminine bodies on a slippery dance floor, up to 4.

and 8 a.m. Beyond these hours this deponent knoweth not, for he departed then, bound for a Chllds restaurant in Brooklyn, a sobering breakfast and so to work. Last night's adventuring among the tinsel and glitter of Mayor Walker's night clubs turned up the truth that all-night clubs are divided, unlike Gaul of the school books, into two parts: those which operate openly under the bright glare of electric light signs and advertising of one sort and another, and those doing business "sub rosa." The first class includes all the best-known of the night clubs, such as, to name a few, the Club Lido, the Ilia Venice, the Montmartre, George Olsen's and, up in Harlem. Small's and the Nest. The name of the others is legion.

And these others all keep open, according to the personal investigation of this correspondent and reliable information obtained from the best available taxicab drivers, well beyond Mayor Walker's 3 o'clock Curfew Hour. It should not be said that they entirely ignore or condemn Mayor Walker. By no means. At one of them, on W. 54th Manhattan, or thereabout, the doorman explained the Mayor, he had heard, was scurrying through town, and so it would behoove night-club patrons not to loiter at the door, hesitating whether to enter.

Come Right In. "What's this?" we asked. "Do you mean to say that, because of Mayor Walker, you are going to close at 3 o'clock?" "Oh, no," came the reply. "We're keeping open right to 6 o'clock, or later, if any one wants to stay." Your correspondent had passed into the lighted entrance of the place, where jazz music sounded pleasantly on the ear and the manager ordered the head waiter to take good care of your correspondent and his friend. "Come right in," he urged.

It was only 4:30 a.m. Your correspondent deceitfully pretending to be even less sober than he was, acted the part of an obstinate person who had decided, lor no reason at all, to go away. "Why, gentlemen," pleaded the manager in a voice that was terribly, terribly hurt, "you ain't seen noth-tn' yet. Come in, gentlemen. Take a look at the girls.

They're very nice girls. And the music But, virtuously, he went on. Legitimates Close on Time. Long before this, however, the investigation had started, the first period thereof being devoted to the legitimate night clubs separated by the all-knowing taxicab driver into a class apart from those doing business sub rosa. Most of the legitimates, it appeared, closed pretty promptly at 3 or a few minutes thereafter.

Included among these are those named by name above. But not all. Not by any means all. There was. suggested the driver, the Club Foolishness.

"Drive on there," we ordered. And he did. Now. no one need pretend that Club Foolishness is the right name of the place. It isn't.

But it Is, under I sound of Times Square. Little Blondes at A.M. When we arrived there was 2 30 a m. The orchestra played soothingly, couples sat about tiny tables or danced on the tiny floor, and presently the after-midnight show began. The head waiter gave us a fairly good seat, all things considered, and, after, ordering the conventional White Rock and ginger ale.

your correspondent looked about to see what he could see. Ah! Here came a little blond lady, announced as "Little Midget," and sang alluringly that "Red Lips Do Drive Them Blues Away." It seemed, under the Influence of the White Rock and the ginger ale. quite, quite possible. Other sweet and lovely and blond girls came forth, singly and in groups, showing considerable portions of their fair bodies, dancing, singing that "Red Lips Do Drive Them Blues Away" and other such sentiments. Some were attired in modest milkmaid costumes reaching a few inches below the thighs.

and some as Indian chiefs wearing tall feathers on their heads, a few spangled beads elsewhere and not much else. There were cheers after each number, and on one occasion my friend, stirred by the example of the girls and by the White Rock, did a buck dance around his table and was roundly cheered. Sub Rosa Clubs Next At 3:30. half an hour after the moment when all i-ucfi things are ordered to cease under the Curfew Law, the show had stopped but curfew had not rung. The orchestra, instead, was playing, -the couples were dancing and the waiters were bringing out White Rock and ginger ale in profusion.

We departed. Then, escorted by a shrewd taxicab driver, the investigation progressed, under favorable auspices. On 58th st 51st st. and 47th on Broadway and 7th all around the Times Square section, other "clubs" were in operation. Two or three were willing enough to receive your correspondent.

The remainder were closed or closing. "You see," explained the taxicab driver, "it's this law of Mayor Walker's. They've Just got to close at 3 o'clock. If you want to go anywhere at this time of night, you got to try the sub rosa places. They're open all night." So these were 'tried.

On 57th 52d and 48th and all around the Times Square section, the taxicab carrying two investigators in evening clothes stopped in front of an innocent-looking door behind which were lights, pleasant music, dancing. Just Beginning to Begin. "Come in, gentlemen." invited the head-waiter of each. "You ain't seen nothin' yet. Things are just beginning to begin." But alas! One or two cannot be, as the philosophers have so well es tablished, in 17-odd places at the same time and time was flying.

North your investigators now fled to Harlem and there, in the neighborhood of W. 135th stopped in front of one of those places that cater to the lure which your northern white man finds in the entertainment of blacks-and-tans. A darkey attired gorgeously as a Mexican general stopped your investigators at the door and asked for membership cards. "But," general, they protested, "we have no membership cards. We are not members." Membership Cards SI.

The general looked the investigators up and down and found them apparently harmless. He grinned in friendly wise. "Hello, captain," he said to my friend. "I remember you, suh. Hello, colonel," he added to your correspondent, quite properly ranking him that much higher.

"I remember you, suh. This is a club for members only. Do you-all gentlemen want to become members?" Just by coincidence it happened that both did. And so they wero permitted to sign in the membership book and In return for an annual fee of tl each were given membership cards good until and including Jan. 1 next.

Armed with these they sat them down before a small table, ordered more White Rock and ginger ale and talked and danced with the dark ladies who were present there as entertainers and hostesses in the interim between more important stage engagements they all had on Broadway.

From Mr. Cool-idge's silence today it Is now inferred that the convention may meet without any enlightening word from the White House. His Viewpoint a Puzzle.

Members of the committee cannot understand the President's failure to explain "I do not choose." If he would not accept a nomination under any circumstances, there Is no good reason why he should not make that known, many of them hold. Those party managers who believe in forcing a nomination on Mr. Cool-ldge were naturally pleased at his silence this morning, but the majority of the group And themselves more in the air than ever. The talk of Coolidge as first choice probably will persist, and may even grow stronger. And meanwhile the supporters of.

Messrs. Hughes and Hoover will become more cautious than ever. From the standpoint of Mr. Coolidge there probably was no reason why he iiould have discussed his intentions detail. Those of his friends who believe that "I do not choose" means will not" say that Mr.

Coolidge, having made a definite statement that he will not become a candidate, sees no reason to reiterate. The attitude of the disappointed breakfast guests was interesting. Their frustration did not take the form of resentment against the President. On the other hand, members of the committee were inclined to throw up their hands and laugh. Mingled with this amusement was a kind of admiration for the laconic White House host, whose technique of politics is either so simple as to defy analysis or whose wiles are Just a little deeper than anything the politicians can fathom.

Chairman William M. Butler an-rounced this afternoon that the entire Hi-publlcan National Committee will meet In Washington on Dec. 6 to select the meeting place of the convention. Organizations from cities interested In getting the convention, which means paying for It, will be linked to submit In writing detailed of their proposition before he December meeting. Vat Coolidse a Candidate? The second important question that committee members are asking Is whether the President has a candidate of his own, and if so who that candidate may be.

The total information on this point is zero. 6o those now in Washington are nndering up and down the corridors flf the Wlllai'd Hotel gossiping about Hughes and Hoover and others, but keeping their opinions pretty much to themselves. There is a flow of wit, il not a feast of reason, Of the anticipated "Inside dope" which mein-liers have come thousands of miles to pet there Isn't a drop. Each committeeman is left to write his own ticket. Chairman Butler admits that he has a personal preference, but he Is keeping It to himself.

Levine of Belle Harbor, L. when told today of her husband's latest mishap in smashing his transatlantic plane near Rome, said: "I have become so accustomed to the unexpected that nothing can surprise me any more." Mrs.

Levine has changed her mind. She won't put her foot down and forbid Charlie to when he returns. Arriving on the lie de France a month ago, Mrs. Levine stamped down her foot and vociferated that once Charlie laid foot on American territory, her regime would come into force, and Charlie would enter a flying machineno more. "Have you sold Mr.

Levine's plane at Belle Harbor?" Mrs. Levine was asked, i "Why, no; it is still out here." "You are going to let him fly, then, when he comes back?" "Yes, certainly, and he will build many more planes."

More than 204 blank ballots und 200 void ballots are missing, and Kerner avers they probably were placed in the ballot boxes by mistake. If they are not there, Kemer said, he will demand a new vote.

But your correspondent alas was no going home.

Like the honest workingmen, he was on the wav to work to record the true tale of this adventure and to assure Mayor Walker that there are Indeed a number of night clubs in New York whicii offer entertainment to man If not beast after tl hour when he commanded them to cease.

The first work is tearing down what was done before. Indiana lime stone is called for in the contract awarded to Thomas J.

Waters Company. This Is a less expensive stone than nmrale. So the early work must come down. Construction of the wing was first started in 1915 and then halted by the war. For 12 years the unsightly be ginning of a structure that is now being torn down has remained as an eyesore in the neighborhood.

The nrst wing is expected to be completed in two years, at a total cost of $750,000. It will be about one- sixth the size of the entire library as planned, which is expected to be finished in eight years at a cost of $9,000,000. The wing will be three stories, or 90 feet, in height. It will be 285 feet long and 60 feet wide. The wing will bJ in the shape of a trangle, the middle section forming the apex and facing Soldiers Arch, and the two other sections extending down the two roads.

Lowden of Illinois. Nobody is supposed to take this kind of stage talk with any degree of seriousness. The Inside gossip is that, at the proper moment, all of these men, potent factors in Republican politics, will come out for Herbert Hoover. Hughes Important Factor. As far as there is any "band-wagon" sentiment at present, that sentiment is for Mr.

Hoover. But a second element In the situation, which discus sions of the past 48 hours show to be a real factor, is the growing belief that Charles Evans Hughes will become a candidate. Mr. Hughes, it is understood, is still talking of Presi dent Coolidge as the logical candidate, but so are many other Republican politicians who need a cloak to hide their real purposes. It would surprise no one if Frank O.

Lowden should withdraw, leaving the neld open to vice president Charles C. Dawes, who, as long as Mr. Lowden is a candidate, cannot launch a boom of his own, both for personal and political reasons. Mr. Lowden is reported as discouraged with the failure of his candidacy to achieve greater momentum.

It is certain mat tnere win De a definite Eastern opposition to Mr. Hoover, and an equally definite Western opposition to Mr. Hughes. Talk about Dawes is not developing verv fast, and this of itself leads some observers to think that. Dawes is the real "dark horse of this race.
