(By Harry N. Crain.)
Hopes Tor an Attendance record
exceeding that of the etate fair

chalked up, went glimmering this
morning when the official canvass
o the attendance for yesterday,
Sale in day, showed only 2G,500

30,000 people.
Salein day two years ago saw
more than 38,000 people putt
through the galea.
Except for Sunday and Monday
always the two lightest days, the
attendance this year has been far
short of the figures necessary to
break records. At noon today the
attendance was considerably be
low expectations.
Horse Show Jumble.
The one big jam of the week a
the grounds and the fii'at display
of dissatisfaction came last night
at the horse show. The handling
of the crowds there was one big
jumble.
Without any apparent system

Separate Naval Air Corps
Advocated By Witness
es Before President's
Investigators.
Washington, Oct. 1. (A. P.)
Naval air officers told the
president's air board today that
there Is a hesitancy among some
junior officers to freely express
their views before investigting
bodies. Existence of this condi
tion was charged yesterday by
Colonel William Mitchell, insti
gator of the present aircraft con
troversy. It was developed by
Senator Bingham of Connecticut
in questioning witnesses, the first
of whom, Lieutenant Commander
R. R. Raunack, of the navol bur
eau of aeronautics, urged creation
of a separate air corps in the navy.
and, recommending establishing
advance school for training naval
air officers.
Want Separate Corns
About 60 or, 70 per cent of
naval filers, he said, favor a
separate air corps, but the desire
for an independent air service
"has faded away" entirely.
Much dissatisfaction exists, he
continued over the present naval
air organization because the pilots
want control of the aviation af
fairs placed Jn the hands of flying
men.
"The naval Ir reserve force
loads a band to month to exist
ence, and is short of personnel
and equipment," he said.
Although there is a growing
tendency in favor of aviation
among high naval officers, contin
ued Paunaclt, they are careful to
see that it does not "over-step Its
bounds," at the expense of oilier
naval units.
Wilbur Asks Truth
Before Commander Paunack bc,r
gan, Dwight W. Morrow, board
chairman read a letter from Sec
retary Wilbur made public Mon
day, calling attention to a desire
by the department to have all of
ficers freely express their personal
views. The chairman expressed
appreciation for the cooperation
extended the board by the war and
navy departments.
He turning to the reluctance of
navy officers to testify, the wit
nss said this feeling was not pre
valent among a great number of
officers and that he believed It to
be not justified.
Lieutenant Commander H. T.
Bartlett of the naval war college
was asked by Senator Bingham:
"Do you know of any reluctance
by navy officers over expressing
personal views?"
'Not before this board," an
swered Bartlett.
Before other bodies?"
11 Yes, sir."
"Is the feeling prevalent or con
fined to a few?"
"A small number, I think."
"Bear Admiral Moffett, naval
air chief, hs testified," Senator
Bingham continued, "that there Is
unrest in the service."
'I would call It discouroge
ment." said Bartlett.
"Over what?"
"Not progressing as it should.'
Commander Bartlett endorsed
a separate air corps in the naval
declaring 90 percent of naval air
forces favor the proposal.
He expressed dissatisfaction
over the present navy system of
transferlng officers to the air
service for brief periods. The navy
he said, needs an advanced air of
ficers' training school, adding
that the reserve force Is inade
quate.

Washington, Oct. 1 (AP) The
board powers delegated to the
Fleet corporation last year at the
suggestion of President Coolidge
were withdrawn today by the
shipping board.
By rescinding resolutions en
trusting the corporation with ex
tensive ad min Istrati ve powers.
President Palmer will revert more

an officer with Independent powers
over many of the details of the

In effort to settle the row be

Palmer n referee was appointed
by President Coolidge so as to
make recommendations as to ac
tion to be taken. The commission

would not run counter to the presi
dent's wishes or Interfere with the
study of the referee, H. G. Dalton.
of Cleveland.
Some commissioners who were
opposed to Mr. Palmer, predicted
that the latter's resignation would
not be accepted at least for the
present. Commissioners Benson,
Hnney, Plummer and Thompson
voted for the resolution stripping
Mr. Palmer of his powers.
Chairman O'Connor did not votp
while Commissioners Llssner and

In London that the British will

official quarters as being merely a

It Is only engaging In maneuvers
the officials say.

when conditions warranted. The

No trace has been found early to-
lay of the lone masked - bandit
who early last night staged one
nf the boldest train robberies in
the hlntory of the train service.
Afler throwing twenty five pas
sengers of the day conch of the
Missouri Pacific passenger train
No. 107 Into panic the man es
caped with less than $100 of Ihcir
money in an exchange or idiot
with a railroad detective who waa
a passenger on the train. The man
was dressed in blue denim and
was masked with a white linnd
kenhief. He appeared to be be
tween 4ft and 50 years old. It la
believed thnt he hoarded the train
at mi outlying station.
As the tram was appronrhfnjr
the railroad yards, the man en
countered the nrgro porter In tho
vestibule in the lay coach and
brandishing two revolvers, forc
ed the porter to accompany him
Into the car. The passengers were
commanded to line up In the nisle
with their hards in the air while
the negro searched them.
With one gun pdnted at th
p.isscngers and the other direct
cil at. the porter the bandit cool
ly directed the activities.
After (he Inst passenger had
been relieved of bis money, the
man pulled the bell cord and
alighted from the train aa it
came to a halt.
It was at lb! point that ha
was encountered by the detective
who had watched the maneuver
from another coach, but hesitat
ed to fire, for fear be might hit
one of the passengers. The detect
ive called him to halt but the
command was unheeded. The de
tective who wns armed with two
runs fired both of them at tha
hand it. The mnn returned th
fire h" rap.d under cover of
