LYDIA GERTRUDE MOLAVIL A coroner’s jury today held Mrs. Lydia Gertrude Molavi. twenty-two years old, widow of Abdul Hassin Molavi, shot to death in his room at 1314 Rhode Island avenue Thursday evening, for action of the grand jury, and declared that Molavi came to his ath as the result of a wound in- d by a pistol held in the hands of Mola: The jury verdict was reached after ! testimony 1L Detective Fred A.

His testimony was strength- ened by like declarations froin be- tective Flaherty of headquarters, who was present last night at the alieged confession. Throughout the tes imony of several witnesss Mrs. Molavi sat silent with members of her family. She exhibited little emotion, and kept her head lowered and shielded with her hand from the'gaze of a the room. Admits Firing Shot. Mrs. Molavi last night about 7 o'clock admitted firing the fatal shot, according to the police. She repeated Ler protestations of love for her hus- band,-and knelt in silent prayer be- side his body at the morgue, con- cluding: *God and Abdul please for- give me. Late yesterday afternoon, after she had been questioned by Inspector Grant and Detetcives Cornwell and Flaherty, thc prisoner asked that she be returncd to the house of deten- tion, promising she wouid tell her story of the fatality at 7 o'clock. Her request was complied with. She was taken back to the house of detention and cared for by members of the weman's bureau. It hac been learned from the O'Dea detective ageney that Molavi had sald his wife shot at him some time ago while they occupied a 16th street apartment.” This was_denied prisoner, who asserted that her hus- band had been cruel to her. : said the young wom- nd I still bear the bruises he Mra. Molavi's Story. Mrs. Molavi proceeded to tell the story of the differences between her- self and her husband. She told of their failure to reach an agreement in the matter of a real estate deal, Wwhiel), she stated, resulted in her hus- bawé refusing to speak to her all day “He moped about the room all day, she said, “and left about 5 o'clock.” The wife said she waited patiently for him to return, hoping he would no longer remain mute, and about 8 o'clock she went out. She went as far as 14th street and New York ave- nue, thinking she would get gome- thing to eat. Her appetite failed, however, and she returned home. About 11 o'clock, she said, she pre- pared to retire. She still hoped for her husband’s return and a_renewal of his recognition:of her. It was a few minutes after he returned, she stated, and she asked where he had ‘been. He made no response, she said, and she asked if he would have a cup of tea. Again, she said, there was no response. : Molavi Disrobed. Molavi disrobed, donned'his pajamas, the wife stated, threw himself on the bed and proceeded to read. He paid no attention to her. “I saw the revolver in the bureau drawer,” the prisoner is said to have stated to the detectives. “I took it out scornfully, but I did not realize what I had done until it was all over. “He raised his head.” she continued, “rolled over the bed and fell on the floor. I went around the bed to him and dropped the pistol. “1 asked him to speak,” she added, “but he did not do so." Mrs.- Molavi declared she had not the slightest intention of harming her hus- band, and repeated that she did notibr.ak of the war, Mr. Baker hear the report of the pistol shot. She | gr did not mean to shoot, she said. Made Nervous by Silence.

VOLUNTEERS ASKED T0MAKE BANDAGES Miss Boardman Makes Ap- peal for Red Cross Aiding Local Hospitals. The extent to which the lack of nurses and pupil nurses in local hos- pitals has prevented those institu- tions from kceping on hand an ade- quate supply of surgical dressings is emphasized by Miss Mabel T.

Will not the women whose war t them how to make these dressings return to the chapter for this necessary work for our home hospitals?

CHILDREN SOCIETY Announcement Made at En- tertainment of Society of Natives of the District. A soclety of native children of the District of Columbia is to be organ- ized in the near future. This an- nouncement was made last night by Mrs. Anna E. Hendley, at a meeting of the Society of Natives of the Dis- trict, held in the home of Mrs. Nan- ette B. Paul, 2007 Columbia road. Mrs. Hendley was in charge of the entertainment program, in the ren- dering of which Miss Rosemary Finckel, ten years old, a native of Washington, took a prominent part. Miss Finckel's piano renditions brought her an ovation from the large audience, and prompted the announcement that a child’s society is to be organized as an auxiliary of the adult organization of native Washingtonial George _Finckel, with his sister, Miss Constance Finckel as accompanist, gave cello numbers, which constituted the bal- ance of the musical program. Enrolls Sixty-One New Members. ‘The society added sixty-one names to its membership roll last night and ordered the printing of 2,000 addi- tional application blanks upon the announcement by Washington Top- ham that its membership Is growing faster than that of any other organi- zation in the city. The principal action taken at the meeting, which was pre- sided over by Jesse C. Suter, presi- dent, was the adoption of a resolu- tion favoring passage of the Tinkham bill to provide a_home for the feeble minded in the District. James F. Duhamel, a former Wash- ingtonian, who has served in the New York legislature, addressed the so- ciety on early Washington days. He said the development of the capital's civie organizations during the past twenty years is an impressive indi- cation of the desire of the people here to have a voice in the government which s the heritage of all other Americans. Mrs. Paul extended sympathy to persons who are born in Washington, {pointing out the handicap of the un- American status with which they be- {gin life, but stated that all other frespects Washington is the ideal city in which to live. Mrs. Paul's collec- tion of garments depicting the styles of biblical days was shown the mem- bers at the conclusion of the meeting. John Clagett Proctor read an article published in The Star describing the inauguration of former Gov. Shepherd of the District, in 1873. He said this was one of the simplest inaugurations that ever took place in Washington Mrs. Hendley announced that Wil- liam H. Landvoigt, “who was forty vears old before he discovered he had been born in Washington,” would ad- dress the next meeting. —_— SEVERAL PERSONS HURT WHEN HIT BY MACHINES Motor Car Accidents Include One to Messenger, Knocked Down ‘While Riding Wheel.

He suggested that the work be left to the judiciary committee: MRS. HARDING GREETS A DELEGATION OF PEN WOMEN AT{PLANS FOR STATE BUILDINGS OUTLINED BY ROBERT N. HARPI MWould Erect Structures of _Native Matm rials—Suitable for " ventions—Sees The general proposition of erecting in or near Washington a building for every state in the Union is outlined in a statement today by Robert Harper, chairman of the committee At a _meeting held recently in the Chamber of Commerce rooms in the Homer building, Mr. Harper, in se on with the representatives of twenty-seven state socleties, spoke of the manifold advantages of the under- king. All state societies in Wash- | ington are expected to adopt resolu- tions indorsing the project. Mr. Harper's statement follows: “The object of erecting state build- ings in or near the District of Colum- bia is to establish at the seat of gov- ernment a permanent exhibit of th, natural resources as well as the manufacturing, agricultural, educa- tional and scientific developments of each state, which would be of value to each as a state, and also of value to the federal government as a whole. “The proposition which appears to appeal to the judgment of the people almost unanimously is that there should be a separate building for each of the several states and_territor designed authority of the state and upon lines which would localize it and present most strikingly the state’s individuality. “The gfederal government should contribite the ground upon which these building are to be erected, and by congressional action be free of it to the stat taxable. The nec ground must be approxi 'res to insure proper space for each building and its surroundings. In addition to thi space for ample streets, avenues, parking: €tc, and to meet future necessary expansion should be pro- ded for. Architecture to Be Appropriate. “The architectural ideas, landscan- ing and general lavout of plat should apwropriate results and prevent con- fliction of tastes and ideas, by a com- mittee specially appointed. Ea building should be followed, architec- turally, by the dictations of the state. but to conform to a general or ac- cepted plan as above suggested. T! buildings should be built of material well known and recognized as a direct and special product of that state. For example, Vermont will probably erect its building of Vermont granite, and its interior trimmed with various Ver- ment marbles, while Indiana would lean with favor for its building to Indiana limestone, carved in its most attractive style. Tennessee, doubtless, ould have its building beautified by s various assortment of marbies. - terior and exterior; the same with Georgia, Alabama, Colorado and others. California has its native red- wood which could be used with great advantage in trimming the interior of its building; and so on throughout the different _states where there is a wealth of building material already marketed or which the state desired to market, as peculiarly applicable to the state and worthy of state pride and consideration. “These buildings should be specially designed for proper exhibits of the natural or man-made resources of the state; its agricultural and manufac- turing development, strikingly por- trayed from the time the state came into existence as a state—its educa- tional progress—its results of climatic advantage; a general display of the indigenous plants, flowers, fruits, vegetables, etc., checked with season- able changes ‘throughout the year, and then practically, or ornamentally, displayed to show the greatest pos- sibilities in such lines. ‘An assembly hall of proper size should be in “cach building, where state conventions, not political, could be held—there should be the state’s own headquarters, where a book for registering its visitors can be kept, and a permanent home for the gov- ernor of the state, whenever he or his family temporarily visit the city. These are only a few suggestions. “There should be a permanent care- taker for each building and the im- mediate surrounding grounds, the ex- pense of which should be borne by each state. “The streets, avenues and parkings, which would be for the general use of all the states, should be cared for at the expense of the federal govern- The greatest cub show in the his- tory of the National Zoological Park is expected tomorrow, providing it is a nice day, when Mrs. Brown Bear, it is hoped, will lead forth her four have been kept in the den to date.

Exhibits and Con- ment and remain its property “For the purpose of protecting and caring for plants, flowers and shruh- bery from the southern states, it would not be inadvisable to erect greenhouses on the ground: To Show State Rewources. “These buildings, in contrast tn those crected by the different states at the world’s expositions in the past would be permanent and substantiai and the exhibits jasting and far reach- ing in effect and value. In these buildings there would ba set forth in a most attractive way all those things which the state and its people feel proudest of. but too numerous to mention here, and which would present the state’'s resources as a whole ~in the most favorable light. {as well as a permanent but a constant- Iy changing exhibition where neces- sarv or desirable. “Such a display would be a financial advantage to the state, and no less to the federal government, and should ba encouraged by both. It would present in a practical way how many states of the we=t .have moved forward, step by step. from a barren prairie or desert tn wealth and the most fertile and pro- ductive agricultural land. There could be shown by illustration how. by irriga- tion, this has been accomplished. The federal government could show the valu- able work in the forestry service, bos in deveiopment and protection, as wi as its theory and practice carried out in some states on this line. “In addition to the above, it would be a place where the historical progress of cach state could be recorded. as well as the records of men of each state who have contributed to the history of the world and this republic: also the achieve. | ments of men who have given to scienoe, ete. “We do not think it advisable to dis- cuss at this time more than the prin- ciple or theory in view, as it will re- quire action by Congress as to the do- nation of the ground, and the legisla- tures of the various states for the ap- propriations to erect the buildings. “In my judgment, arrangements should be made at once to call a con- ference in this city of the governors of each state for the special purpos: of discussing the subject. Details to Be Formulated. “It would be impossible to set down the entire necessary details as to how { this great movement should best be (!Ulr(?d. as there are ramifications which are sure to develop and cannot be foreseen in all of its phases and must be worked out in practical shape.
