TURNERIS HANGED FORKILLING MOORE Alexandria Negro Pays Pen- alty at Richmond Jail Today. Ry the Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va., June 24—William *Purner, Alexandria negro, convicted in the United States district court ‘here of highway robbery and of mur- dering T. Morgan Moore, torpedo ex- pert, more than a year ago, Was banged in the Eenrico county jail yard here this morning. The trap was sprung at 6:19, and Turner was pro- nounced deéadl twenty minutes later. He made no statement before going 1o the scaffold. More than 500 persons, mostly negroes, surrounded the jail Just before the hanging. The hanging was the first execution of the kind to take place in Virginia in thirteen years. Turner would have been_electrocuted in the penitentiary ‘had his conviction and sentence been in a state court. - Turner denied the highway robbery charge, but admitted shooting Moore after the torpedo expert had fired at him, striking him in the right hand and thigh. Moore, who was riding’ in an automobile with his Miss Pearl Clark, private sec- retary to Representative Britten of Illinois, was shot and wounded above the heart following a scuffle with the negro and died within a few min- utes. -the slayer being charged with dragging the young woman from the scene of the crime and stealing her jewelry. Within a few hours after the crime Turner was captured by a posse about five miles from the scene of the murder, just as he was about to es- cape into the District of Columbia across. the Potomac River bridge. He was taken to Leesburg, but a mob soon learned he was there and went in automobiles to that town. Sheriff Clement outwitted the alleged would- be lynchers, however, and took the prisoner to Winchester. Turner was Iater brought to Richmond. President Harding recently refused ,$0 commute Turner's sentence to life ‘ imprisonment. IDEAL SITE FOUND - FOR AUDITORIUM Business Men to Work Out Project Which Is Likely to Cost $200,000. Business organizations here, under the leadership of Robert N. Harper, are making active plans to work out a practical auditorium project. The original proposal to take over the Emery building, at 1st and B streets, has been abandoned by the business men, who now practically have agreed upon a vacant site, con- taining about 35,000 square feet, that As sadl to be_ideally located for an auditorium. It is stated this ground <can be acquired and a suitable build- ing erected for a total cost of not more than $200,000. The building will ‘e onty one story high. . Harper said today that the Chamber of Commerce and Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association are favorable to the plan and that the Board of Trade has it under advice- ment. It is proposed to finance the proj- ect through having 200 Washington- ians underwrite it. ‘The American Institute of Homeo- pathy, now In session in Washing- ton, furnishes another illustration of the capital’s need of a convention hall, Mr. Harper said. This_convention ‘brought 2,400 persons to Washington. At its banquet, held in the large dallroom of the New Willard Hotel. only 800 persons could be served, and hundreds of delegates were turned away. Mr. Harper said the business men ‘want a convention hall. which can be provided quickly and economically, and that the plan now under con- sideration appears to offer a satis- factory solution of the problem. PROBE OF METHOD USED TO MEET DEPRECIATION Utilities Board to Investigate Re- . placing of Worn-Out Property by Public Service Corporations. Different methods followed by the various public service corporations in the District in setting up depreciation funds from which to replace worn-out property is to be thoroughly inquired into the Public Utilities Commission, Col. Charles W. Kutz, chairman, an- nounced today. ‘The colonel said officials of the vari- ous utility companies have been asked to attend a conférence with the com. mission at the District building Mon. day morning. At this conference the advisability of holding a public hear- ing on the question will be considered. Col. Kutz stated that several of the utilities have different ideas on the subject of how the depreciation account should be handled, and that the pu pose of the commission will be to cl: Sy this situation. The question is largely one of book- keeping, the chairman stated. He said s he did not expect the outcome of the | conference would affect charged by the companies. One question to be considered, for example, is what part of the cost of replacing a piece of property should be charged to depreciation and what part to capital.

Solved Their Own Problems. The meeting was called to order by Charles Demonet of the Rotary Club, and, after brief talks by Judge Willis Brown of Salt Lake City and Mr. Demonet, the boys were left to solve their own probiems. Their first action, after dividing themselves into fourteen groups, was to elect Robert Walton of 343 22d street southeast as first American chief. Young Walton is one of the eighteen young men who qualified in public speaking. Agriculture, carpentry, _electricity, music and machinery appealed strong- ly to the newly elected members.

S. ENTHUSED OVER BUDGET IDEA musi (Continued from First Page.) mittees of the House and Senate keep in touch with these men. STARTS WITH A RUSH. Dawes Expects to Have Wheels Going Ahead of Time. When. July 1, the official day for the inauguration of the .new bureau of the budget arrives, the bureau will | be well on the way to perfection. | Brig. Gen. Charles G. Dawes, who has been named as director, has followed his usual custom of getting “action.” He arrived In town yesterday, and {formally establihed hix ofice In rooms on the oor of the Treasu building this afternoon. g Mobilization of the clerical and tech- { nical staff necessary to the proper { functioning of the new bureau has 1 begun. and it is expected will be per. fected by July 1, except the corps of experts. which Gen. Dawes expects to have President Harding draft from the business world. 5 List of Names Prepared. The list of' these men has been prepared and submitted to President Harding, but Gen. Dawes said today that it probably will not be an- { nounced until some time next month. It had not been expected that these men would be called to Washington “!for duty before August 1, but Gen. jDawes said today that it probably will be necessary to mobilize this staff ahead of this time in order that {the bureau will be able to prepare { for the submission of the first budget to Congress in December. One of the first duties of the new director—and _he considers it one of the very important dutles in con- {nection with the perfection of the | budget system—is to call in all of ithe department and bureau officials [and enthuse them with the need of thorough co-operation with the new bureau. He will point out to them that to make the budget system ef- fective they must be ever ready to bury jealousies. forget that they are just bureau_chiefs dealing with one branch of the government and con- sider themselves more a part of the whole government system. DENIED FOR LACK OF PROOF. Becagse of insufficient proof Jus- | | T BARTETT NANED FOR G ERVEE IPres}dent Appoints Ex-Gov- ! ernor to Succeed M. A. Mor- rison on Commission. Appointment of John H. Bartlett of Portsmouth, N. H., former governor of that state, as a member of the United States Civil Service Commission to succeed Martin A. Morrison, chairman of the commission, whose resignation was accepted by the President yester- day, changes the pplitical color of this governmental agency. The board, in the event Gov. Bartlett is confirmed by the Senate, about which there seems to be no doubt, will comprise a republican majority, inas- much as George R. Wales, who has been a commissioner for many years, is of that political faith. Though Mrs. Helen H. Gardener, the other member, voted the republican ticket the first and only time she <ast a ballot, she is classed as a non-partisan. In fact such is her own analysis of her poli- tics. She is a resident of the District of Columbia and the time she voted the _republican ‘ticket was several years ago while a legal resident of California. Board's Politieal Make-Up. In creating the Civil Service Com- mission Congress intended to keep it far removed from politics, and the law provides that its membershin shall not comprise more than two of the same pelitical faith. Inasmuch as Mrs. Gardner was named by a democratic President to serve with a democrat and a republican she has| been heretofore regarded as demo- ! cratic within the general meaning of the law. In discussion of this matter today this fact was pointed out, and it was suggested that the adminis- tration no doubt acted on the belief that she was a democrat when another republican in the person of Gov. Bart- lett was appointed to the commission. Bartlett In a Lawyer. Mr. Bartlett, who served as Gover- nor of New Hampshire from 1919 to 1921, was educated at Dartmouth Col- lege and practiced law for many years in Portsmouth. Before his election to the governorship he was postmaster i for nine years of Portsmouth. Mr. Morrison, whom he is to suc-; ceed, was appointed by President Wil- son in 1919 as a member of the com- mission and previously had served as representative in the Sixty-first and Sixty-fourth Congresses from the ninth district of Indiana. ‘Willlam Burgess, a manufacturer, Morris Heights, Pa., also was nomi nated yesterday for the remaising va- cancy on the tarift commission. Mr. Burgess, during the war, was a department head of the War Indus- tries Board, and in 1919 was sent on a confidential mission to the orient. RAILROAD HEADS WORRY PRESIDENT (Continued from First Page.) more or less toward the idea of for- getting about exports altogether and the attitude of the eastern bankers who feel that in Europe lies the cure of American business stagnation, the President of the United States is steering a middle course. The contact which he has had with the two theories necessarily makes him conservative. The-first conference with the east- ern_bankers disposed of the foreign trade problem by getting an agree- ment with the bankers to consult with the government as to the purposes of all foreign loans before offering them to the public. That enables the gov- ernment to prevent the kind of abuses which Mr. Reynolds talked about, namely, depleting American capital resources for the benefit of European development. The second conference with the bankers will result in steps toward the adjustment of war claims made by the railroads and other interests, who could use the money owed them to good advantage in helping the country back to an economic normal.

The farmer, with a gloomy frown, will grumble when he goes to town, and say the weather then on deck is ruin- ous to him, by heck. And if I greet him with a smile, and say, “Such weather’s worth our while,” he’ll look upon the smil- ing morn, and say, “It’s killing all the corn. If we don’t soon have lots of rain, our season’s} toil will be in vain.” And if I praise the passing wind, he shows how ievously it's; sinned. “That sipping, everlast- ing breeze has spoiled my crop of early peas.

The majority sentiment seems to side with the postmaster. but it is anticipated that a commission will have to be appointed to decide the matter.

The Senate public buildings and grounds committee is directed, in a resolution introduced today by..Sen- ator Capper of Kansas, to inquire into the probable cost ‘of maintain- ing Mount Vernan as-a national in- stitution, and to submit a plan for the assumption of control of the es- tate by the national government. The resolution was referred to the com- mittee on public buildings and grounds. The resolution asserts that, “al though privately controlled, the home and burial place of George Washing- ton, the Father of His Country, at Mount Vernon. Va.. is the most pre- cious and revered of national monu- ments, and has been preserved and maintained by the Mount Varnon Ladies’ Association of the Union, which is entitled to the highest pub- lic commendation for its patriotic purpose and labors, and is a sacred shrine and a source of patriotic in- spiration, and should be accessible to the largest number of dur people, now barred by existing regulations.” The resolution declares that there is a general feeling that there should be abolished forever “the un-Ameri- can system of tolls or admission charges exacted from the American public for the privilege of being ad- mitted to the tomb of the nation’s first President.” There is a demand. too, the resolution says, that t grounds of Mount Vernon should be open on Sundays.
