By the Associated Press, NEW YORK, July 4—When Gen.| Henri Joseph 'Eugene Gouraud ends bis visit in this country and sails for his native France he will bear with him a gift from the widow of Theo- dore Roosevelt—a photograph of her | son Quentin, who was shot down with his airplane’ over the German lines in 1918, The photograph will be intrusted to French sculptors, who will chisel Quentin's features into the figure of an American soldier in a group me- morial being erected in the Argonne by a committee of which Gen, Gou- raud is president. Prays at Grave. The one-armed French officer, who | for a time commanded the “Rainbow" Division overseas, went to Sagamore Hill late yesterday afternoon. He elimbed the narrow, sandy trail to Roosevelt's grave, and hung on the surrounding rail a wreath of flowers. For a minute he gazed upon the in- closed shrine, his head bared. Then he prayed When those in the little train of automobile and motor cycle police wound past the tin mail box lettered | “Mrs. T. Roosevelt,” and up the wind- ing driveway to her low-gabled home, they wert recelved by the colonel's widow in his big trophy room. She greeted Gen. Gouraud in French. She was pleased when the visitor made known his wish for a photo- graph of Quentin. She left her low chair by the fireplace and swiftly left the room. A moment later she re- turned with the picture neatly wrapped in heavy paper. The gen- eral’s alde took careful charge of the | treasure, The days when advancing German | troops fell back under the fire of soldiers of the Rainbow Division and their Frensh comrades in Champagne were recalled by Gen. Gourard, *the Lion of the Argonne,” in an address to members of the 16ith Infantry. The regiment, a unit of the division, served with the French under com- mand of Gen. Gouraud. One Day in Champagne. 1 “In finding myself in your midst 1 recall the last time I had the honor and pleasure of being with you,” he said. “It was in a small patch of woods in Champagne. You had just helped the fourth French army smash the big German offen- sive. For six months we had been quietly getting ready our positions in Champagne so the Germans would butt their heads into a stone wall should they attack. That is just what happened. You can be sure, my comrades, the appearance) of your uniforms among our French blue gave us new strength and vigor. To apply the tactics of | Marshal Petain required the bravest sort of troops ready to fight to the death. i ““You gave us, the French, the great- est of aid in saving our country and with it the true spirit of civiliza- tion which you have in the .same sense as ourselves. “‘Today, in the name of the French army, your former commander of | July '15 comes to thank you—the brave soldiers of the 165th of the 42d Division.” Gen. Gouraud was the guest of honor last night at a dinner given by Emile Utard, vrebident of the Franco-American 'board of commerce and industry.

ADOPTED GIRL WED - AFTER WILL FIGHT Heiress of Park Benjamin Fortune Bride of Attorney Who Defended Her. By the Associated Pres: LONDON, July 4.—Miss Anna Bol- chl Benjamin, adopted daughter ~of the late Park Benjamin of New York, was married to Arthur Louls Full- man, a New York attorney, at Corpus Christi Chapel, Covent Garden, to- day. No guests were present ROMANCE OF COURT. Bridegroom Was Beneficiary's At- torney in Will Fight. NEW YORK, July 4.—The marriage in London today of Miss Anna Bolchi Benjamin, adopted sister of Mrs. En- rico Caruso, and Arthur Louis Full- man, was the climax of a romance that started in the courts, where Full- man made Miss Benjamin a rich man's daughter and heiress over the bitter objections of her adopted brothers and sisters. Park Benjamin, New York patent attorney and author, retained Mr. Fullman several vears ago when he decided to adopt Miss Bolchi, a young woman of Italian parentage, who had been in his family for several years. Mrs. Caruso and her brother, Park, jr., and Romeyn Benjamin fought the adoption to a standstill in the New York courts, but Fullman took the case to Wilkes-Barre, Pa., where the adoption was allowed. Shortly before he died Mr. Ben- jamin called Fullman in and in- structed him to draft a new will giv- ing his estate of more than $300,000 to_the adopted daughter. “I want Anna to have my estate, _“I want you to see that she Children Contest Will. After Mr. Benjamin died his chil- dren filed a contest of the will, which cut them off practically without a cent, and Fullman prepared to carry out his retainer’s instructions to “see that she gets the estate.” The contest was settled out of court, however, Miss Benjamin agree- ing to have certain caustic comments about Benjamin's natural children stricken from his will, and the chil- dren accepting a small cash pay- ment. Recently Miss Benjamin safled for Europe, taking with her the ashes of her foster father and casting them to the winds in mid-ocean from the deck of a steamer, in compliance with his last request. Mr. Fullman turned his business over to his partner a few days later and sailed, saying he planned to spend a year abroad. Asked if the fact Miss Benjamin was in London had anything to do with his plans, he answered with a cryptic smile: “My duty as her cdunsel is about ended.” Mr. Fullman, about forty, was born at Auburn, N. Y. His home is at Suecasunna, N. where he spends much of his time in flower gardens that are his hobby. D. C.

Recalls Fatal Days. Maj. Sullivan was able to recall Tn- dependence day celebrations in_this city during the cearlier days of his police service. He remembered nu- merous fatalities that caused mourn- ing in so many homes and the numer- ous fires that caused destruction of worth of prop- erty. The chief was glad to say that to- day's affair promised to be a safe and past few years. In all sections of the city police reported that children Wwere amusing themselves by setting oft firecrackers, explosives purchased from Maryland and Virginia, but no arrests had been made before noon. Several complaints of annoyance caused by setting off firecrackers and other explosives were made to police of several precincts. One complaint was made on behalf of a sick person near 15th and W streets, the others being made merely because objection was made to the loud noises. Two Firecracker Complaints. “Two firecracker complaints and one drunk locked up,” was reported from the Southeast Washington precinct at neon. Tenleytown police received a com- plaint from the vicinity of 38th and Ingomar . streets about 10:30 o'clock. In several other instances of com- plaints, it was stated, children setting off firecrackers were too small to ar- rest and the police merely warned them to end their patriotic celebra- tions. Children in the home of Ida Wash- ington, 502 22d street, unable to get firecrackers or other fireworks, re- sorted to the use of matcHes and set fire to a lace curtain, being the only instance requiring fire department service thie morning. The fire did $25 damage. Only one arrest for setting off fire- crackers this season was made by police of the Tenleytown district Monday. A man was arrested, and he paid §56 for his premature celebration. —_— If last year's production of oll in the United States were put into oil barrels and these placed lengthwise touching each other they would reach from the earth to the moon and therc would be enough left over to go one and a half times around the earth, { had left. {a long talk, which ended amicably.
