DECLARES BRTONS Lok TowARD .S Geddes Says Dominions Find Understanding Here Lack- ing in London. By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, November 12.—In a lec- ture describing the United States as one of the great empires of the world, Sir Auckland Geddes, former British Ambassador to America, yes- terday told an audience of 3,000 at Westminster Hall how profoundly American thought was influencing the United Kingdom, and to ap even greater extent the British dominions. ‘The Britjsh dominions that look out on the Pacific, he said, “feel that in Washington there is an instinctive outstanding of their difficulties which when they come to London they have to explain laboriously in Downing Street.” The speaker seemed to surprise some in the audience With the remark that when the dominions look to the mother country and find no satisfac- tory understanding “they are apt to look to Washington, and Washington, with inviting eyes, will look back at them.” ces Leadership Yielded. The far-flung British Empire, Sir Auckland said, has yielded the lead- ership of the world, in many respects, to the compact empire of the United States. He cited tHe Washington arms conference as an example. The former ambassador's address was the first of a series of Page memorial lectures given in memory of the former American Ambassador to Great Britain and was delivercd with many dignitaries surrounding the speaker. The Earl of Balfour, as chairman of the meeting, intro- duced Sir Auckland, and Premier Baldwin, as a guest, moved the thanks of the audience, which Amerl- can Ambassador Kellog:r seconded. Premier Baldwin declared the proper solution of the question of Anglo-American relations meant the peace of the world. Taught by America. “The greatest lesson we, as a coun- try, ever learned we learned from America 150 vears ago,” said he. “She tausht us how to ‘manage our colo- nies happil As does not always happen, we got a second chance te learn while the world wa young enough to permit of colonial expan- sion. 1 always think we English people, in thinking of America, ought to remember what it was that drew | people of our stock overseas tc America First, it was to obtain complete freedom of conscience; sec- ond, to make a new start, and third to be quit of Kurope. Concluding the premier said that in the future the sca must be a highway and not a separator. Speaking of the dominions and their relation to England, Sir Auckland, in his lecture, said: “The dominions speak of us as the motherland and of our Parliament as the mother of parliamen 1 think that the insistence on the word moth- er. which is affectionate in intention, | makes that a tribute of something of | old age, if not senility, in regard to our institutions Look to Washington. “They look upon the government of Washington as of their own gen-, eration, and any one who knows o! 1t the people of our sister do- minions are thinking knows tha some of them, particularly those who look out on the YPacific, feel that in Washington there is an instinctive understanding of difficulties which when they come to London they have laboriously to expl in Downing street Canada American newspaper: and goods are all there an invisible border divides the terri- tories under the British flag and the flag of the United States. They pass and re-pass that border and play the same games with one another without | knowing anything of the difference in mationalities, i “It often happens that when our dominions lool to us here there is no sympathetic answer, no under- standing, and they look to Washing- ton. And Washington is not devoid of eyes and will look back at them.” Influence Ix Exercined. The speaker declared that ca, because of her compactness. and unity, exercises an influence on the British Empire in & way in which no influence radiating from a British source affected America. This was be- cause, he explained, the British em- pire was diversified, rather than com- pact. “Walter Page, before the war,” he said, “was able to see that this great empire, owing to its conscious diversity, was likely to yield more and more to a compact empire, It is no use to pretend that America does not at this time profundly influence us and the empire. We know we have yielded the position of leadership to America_in connection with the ‘work designed for the higher service of humanity. “I believe that throughout the United States there is a desire to co- operate with all parts of the British Empire, with an occasional exception, which I think is rather vague, of co- operating with England.” Premier Baldwin, taking the same tack as Sir Auckland, declared that important as was Columbus’ discov- ery in its time, there has been no more important discovery today than the discovery of England by Ameri- cans aad the discovery of America by Englishmen. The premier paid a tribute to Lord Balfour and Sir Auckland by reféer- ring to them as “distinguished ex- plorers,” well fitted to interpret America to Britons. He declared that “if people could only be persuaded to refrain from public speaking until they were qualified as interpreters, things would be much better on both sides of the Atlantic.” THE WEATHER District of Columbfa—Cloudy and slightly warmer tonight; tomorrow fair and colder; moderate south shift- ing to northwest winds.

C. A. T. STUART’S WORK LAUDED AT MEMORIAL CEREMONIES Schools Halted as Hundreds of Teachers and Officers Gather at Central and Dunbar for Tribuie to Educator. Washinzton's huge public educa- tional system halted at noon today as hundreds of teachers and officers gathered in the Central and Dunbar High Sc\»0l auditoriums to hear triends ang close associates of Alex- ander Tait Stuart, late director of intermediate instruction, extol the career of the beloyed educator who rose from the ranks of a teacher to superintendent. Fifty-two years of MF. Stuart’s active life were conse- czated to the education of the youth of the Nation's Capital, and his pass- tng, September 5, left a pall of gloom over the entire school system which still lingers as if indelible. The Central auditorium was filled when the memorial exercises opened at 2 o'clock. Scattered among the teachers in the audience were mem- bers of Mr. Stuart's family and scores of Washington’s _most - successful business and profetsional men who have reaped the rewards of the late educator’s wise counsel as a teacher. Tgachers and officers of the colored schiools attended the memorial serv- ices at Dunbar held simultaneously with those at Central. Praixed by Many. Those who eulogized Mr. Stuart at the Central exercises were: James T. Lloyd, president of the Board of EBducation; Dr. Frank W. Ballou, su- perintendent of schools; Henry P. Blair, former president of the school board; Stephen E. Kramer, principal of Central High School; Willlam T. Galliher, also a_ former president of the board, and Miss Alberta Walker. The ceremonies began with an or- gan prelude, Handel's “Largo,” played by Miss Edith B. Athey. She fol- 1owed this with “Lamentation” (Guil- mant). Two selections, "Crossing the Bar,” and “Only Remembered,” were sung by the Washington Quartet, omposed of J. F. M. Bowie, Fred East, Mrs. Mary Sherier Bowie and Miss Richie McLean, accomganied b: George H. Wilson. Invocalion was offered by Rev. James Shera Mont- gomery. " Rev. John Reid Shannon pronounced the benediction. Both had been Mr. Stuart's pastors. Tribute at Dunbar. Dr. Winfield S. Montzomery w'.ose career in the public schools par.led that of Mr. Stuart, delivered the prin- 'pal tribute at the services at Dun- var. Others who paid tribute to him were Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant uperintendent i~hools; Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, mem- rer of ‘the board of education, and Mrs. R S. Netherland, whose topic was, “Mr. A. T. Stuart, the Teachers' Friend” The program also included « baritone solo ac Cupid, a violin solo by Miss Edith Butcher, and a soprano solo by Mrs. Sylvia Olden. Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, mem- har of the school board, presided. Rev. F. L A. Bennett, also' a member of the board, offered the Invocation and benediction. i \ Announcement was made at both services that the school board had fhonored Mr. Stuart by naming after #im the proposed junior high school which w'll be erected on a site at Fourth and E streets northeast. The naming of the new school after Mr. Stuart has been approved by the Dis- trict Commissioners. Lauded By Ballon. Describing Mr. Stuart's activities as an educator, Supt. Ballou pald him a glowing tribute. Mr. Stuart, he said, measured up, in full stature, to every specification and every qualification of the high calling of the educator. “By natural endowment, and by tional training and experienc sald, “Mr. Stuart possessed, acquired and developed those character ential to real success in the pro- sfon. He was a true gentleman, sincere, honorable, courteous, kindi altruistic and cultured. His honesty vas never questioned His sincerity ; doubted. His courtesy was 1 part of himself. His kindness w universal, and his culture and refine- ment were obvious in all of his deal- ings with those associated with him. “He was always just and fair. He approached the consideration of every subject with an inherent desire to do | right. His keen insight into school problems and his intelligent under- standing of human nature gave him an unusual ability to understand and to find the solution of the many edu- cational problems brought to n during his more than 50 years of edu- cational service as a teacher and offi- cer. While Mr. Stuart was naturally a man of mild and quiet nature, any evidence of unfairness or dishonesty on the part of those dealing with him aroused in him righteous indignation. His high ideals of right dealing established corresponding ideals in those associated with him. Everybody loved him. Called Unusual Leader. “Leadership is one of the requisites of an educator. As a schoolofficer Stuart was an _unusua)l leader. sincerity won the confidence of all who had dealings with him. His leadership was established on the basis of mutual confidence. He never drove, but rather led. Herein, in my estimation, lies the explanation of the uniform success of Mr. Stuart as a teacher and officer. “Mr. Stuart's life was consecrated to the public service. He entertained the highest regard for the teaching profession. He was jealous of its standing and consecrated to its im- provement. He was proud of its achievement and conscious of its faults. His devotion to the teaching profession and to the public service was second only to his devotion to his family. i Love for Children. “His love for the boys and girls in our schools, boys and girls whom he taught or whose education he supervised, has been returned and increased an hun- dredfold in the bountiful tributes of real love and affection which have been showered on his memory by these same boys and girls, who are now the adult citizens of Washing- ton. “His devotion to the cause of public education, and to the teaching pro- fession in Washington, won for him the love, esteem and gratitude of overy person associated with him | during his half a century of public service. It is especially fitting and proper that our gratitude for the services of this man should find ex- pression in these memorial exercises.” Mr. Kramer spoke of Mr. Stuart as a counselor and pointed out that “his great heart reached out to help those in need of his counsel” “He treated the smallest matter wWith dignity,” sald Mr. Kramer. Sympathy for AllL ‘Teachers by scores came to him with their problems and perplexities and none came in vain. For every one who came he had always the xindly, sympathetic words of wisdom which brought courage and comfort to his visitor, ‘School officers came in times when they needed his counsel to wid them in determining their course of pro- cedure. They also came when, though their course of action seemed clear, they desired the approval and encouragement of the man whom all loved and respected. “Superintendent, officer and teacher, clerk and janitor—employes from the white schools and employes from the colored &chools—all were represented in the visitors to Mr. Stuart's offices. His room was the natural stopping place for all who visited the Frank- in charge of colored | sties | and particularly those| lin School. No matter what businees called us to headquarters, we were sure to stop at Mr. Stuart's door for a word qf kindly greeting and advice. “He was my friend, the dearest, finest friend that a man could possess. I came to know him in the years during which we enjoyed almost a father and son relation. He became my counselor in the years of trouble, doubt and trial through which we passéd with so many interests in common. It was given to me in those years to pass heyond the curtain of ca'm dignity and gentleness to view the rich humanity of a soul that gave of its strength and wisdom to all who came. And gave often far more than the recipient realized at the time of the giving? Example for outh. Lloyd of the Board of Education commended Mr. Stuart’s life “as a splendid example for emulation by the youth of our city and those of us who are permitted yet awhile o remain this side of the rolling tide which severs all earthly relations.” “Seldom in the history of the Washington public schools has one of its administrative officers passed away who was so universally be- loved by those who knew Alexander T. Stuart,” said Mr. Lloyd. He was an outstanding chs and yet modest and unobtrusive. He was a man of sympathetic nature. He in- terosted himself in others and al- ways seemed to have that touch of humanity which makes us all akin and without which one grows cold and he s. He was ready to listen to the story of wounded feel- ings, mistreatment or complaint, and alwa so with a Kindly and friendly In these associations he was to overcome much of gonism and to reconcile those at greement and to compose those who had either imaginary or actual grievances by his considerate words onciliatory bearing because of ncerity of purpose. It has been stated that the peacemaker is bless- ed, and he may be properly recog- nized as one who was a peacemaker. President Had Exceptional Ability. “Mr. Stuart possessed exceptional ability, which was much greater than many supposed. He used all the | powers he possessed in trying to fur- |ther the interests of the public schools. The greater part of his long service in this community was spent in that work for which he was ever ready to make any reasonable sacri- fice. “Mr. Stuart's crowning virtue was | his excellent character. He was hon- est, because honesty is right. He was truthful, ause no other course is consistent with strict integri He tried to exemplify in his every rela- tion the principles of the golden rule. He was free from hypoc and de- ceit, and recognized always that frankness and candor are cardinal virtues, which all should possess.” Mr. lliher, speaking of Mr. Stuart as a_citizen, referred to the thousands of children in Washington whom he had influenced for good “Computation may possibly be made of the number of those who were reached by that influence,” said Mr. Galliher, “vet it would seem an al- most hopeless task to undertake to even estimate the total, for literally many thousands were at one time and another within the zone of his per- sonality and his teaching, his guid- ance and his exampl As teacher, as supcrvieor, as super- intendent, Mr. Stuart was in the closest touch with the youth of Washington for | that half century, and none who canie | within the range of his influence failed to benefit thercby. For he radiated good. He was teacher in the best sense For he lived according to the principles which he expounded and taught. Today are many, many members of this community in middle or even in the early decline of life who were pupils of Alexander T. St when he taught classes. There younger persons whom he, in their sc was 2 personage of educational importance as A supervisor, and there are still younger ones who passed through the schools during his service as euperintendent. All Gnined Something. “All of these pervons, men and wom en, have gained something of lasting value from him. from his always kindly nature, from his sound couneel, from his fundamentally sound educational methods and, above all, from his splen- did example as a man. They are the better citizens for his influence and his teaching. . “That is the truly conetructive work in citizenship that Alexander T. Stuart did for Washington. The sound prin- i) of equity which govern in our s$ world today are in large me: ure the product of such examples and such educational service as his. The maintenance of the best thought in the relations of the men and women who constitute today community is one of his contributions to the welfare of Washington.” Miss Walker, teachers, declared that Mr. Stuart saw love's illusions and kept them safe. “It was at his cottage hearth as those of us know who have reste and talked with him and his famii there,” she said. “that love was held as ever a sacred and romantic thing it w from his cottage hearth, as all of us know, that his love came forth. “This same love spread into his professional and social relations like an imperial sunset flooding a far horizon. In its glow we can. sec him offering his arm to the aged bowing with admiration to the ado- lescent and throwing back his heac with laughter at the enterprising tenacity of tender bahy fingers, Anc to all he gave ‘what time ecanno change or a thief purloin,’ his lov What was his lov An emation Yes, and more; it was also an at- titude. speaking for the Love an Attitude. “That it was a strong emotion we know, for nature had given him abyndantly. Much of the innate, of the unlearned, there was about it. Yet I know that he had rationalized his love, had made of it an attitude: by setting off life’s values, looking at them squarely, unflinchingly and choosing for himself the way of love. He held that in all human relations love has primacy and reason should be its instrument. That must have been true of his thinking, for never blindly could he have applied his standards so systematically. When we examine the warp and woof of his thinking, his feeling and his do- ing we find that it was woven of the fine fiber of strong, unyielding faith in affection. “The application of his conscious social philosophy may be plainly shown. ~More than once his thinking made him analyze a situation, choosé a hard and totally new pattern, but change ol some of his mental hab- its. He changed those mental habits used in directing to_those used in following, but he retained his mental habit of affectionate loyalty. “He applied his principles not only to his thinking, but to his feeling. In appreciative abilities he had no equal in our group. There were four appre- ciations constantly functioning in his life—the appreciation of human na- ture, beauty, intellectual attainments and sense of humor.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 12.—A school- boy's story that he saw a young, fashionably dressed woman drive the automobile in which the three slayers of Dion O'Bannion, notorious gang leader, florist and hi-jacker, escaped, was used as a guide today by the police in their efforts to run down the slayers. Anthony Pferschy, 13, said he was one of several boys passing O'Ban- nion’s flower shop when the shooting occurred. One of the three men who ran out bumped into him and knocked him down, he told investigators. The men ran to the corner and crowded into the automobile, the door of which was held open by the women, the boy said. The story renewed the “find the woman” activities of the police, be- gun when they heard of a quarrel be- tween O'Bannion lieutenants and a rivhl gangster over the slapping of the latter's wife by Margaret Collins. Another girl who figured in the in- vedtigation was Mary Laude, 17, who was held after she came to the Fed- eral building inquiring for the wife of Louis Alterie, a friend of the slain leader. Study Another Shooting. Detectives also sought any connec- tion with the slayings of O'Bannion and the shogting last night of James Markes, Canton, Ohio, who said he was a truck driver, although his clothes, of expensive make, bore New York labels, and his hands belied the story of his occupation, acocrding to detectives. Markes said two men shot him and dragged him into an alley. Investigators admit frankly they are without much definite informa- tion. Meanwhile, preparations were made for the dead gangster's funeral, set for Saturday from an undertaker's only a short distance from the scenes of his hoyhood, and in the neighbor- hood he dominated as a gang leader. Preparations indicated it will be one of the most pretentious funer: every accorded an underworld char- acter. Flowers worth tens of thousands of dollars already have been ordered by leaders of gangs, open allies or secret enemies of O'Bannion. Many of them will come from the flower shop where O'Bannion was shot down among his roses and chrysanthemums. —_— V.

By the Associnted Press. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., November 12.— With the simple rites of the Episco- pal Church, funeral services were held for Senator Henry Cabot Lodge today in Christ Church, which he had attended while a student at Harvard, where his marriage was solemnized and where funeral services for his wife were held some years ago. In a voice that trembled with the intensity of his sorrow, Bishop Wil- llam Lawrence of the Episcopal dio- cese of Massachusetts, classmate and litelong friend of Senator Lodge, read the prayers. Except for the presence of repre- sentatives of Nation, State, the ju- diclary and other branches of public life, the funeral observances were kept as private as was possible in the case of a distinguished public man.
