JUDGING POSTERS | FOR BALL DELAYED Art Pupils to Present Designs Next Wednesday for b Inaugural Event. At the request of the art department of the public schools. the date for the judging of posters entered in the com- petitive contest sponsored by the charity inaugural ball has been post- poned from 3 o'clock tomorrow after- noon until the same hour next Wed- nesday. Any art student eligible to enter the contest. are no particular rules except that each poster. to ba of a given size, must bear the following inscription in clearly legible print: “Charity Inau- gural Ball, Mayflower Hotel, March 4, in Washington is There 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon the young artists are to take their posters to the ball headquarters, in the Mayflower Hotel, and have them judged. The four best are to be| awarded prizes of tickets to the ball. All of the other posters, however, will become the property of the com- mittee and be distributed here and in Baltimore to give the ball a unique form of advertising. Marine Band Released. The readiness with whioh Mrs. John Allan Dougherty, chairman of the charlty inaugural ball committee, re- leased the United States Marine Band for the use of the general inaugural committee, headed by William T. Gal- liher. at its concert in the Washington Auditorium on the evening of March 1 was hailed cverywhere today as a sign of the cordial relations that ex- ist between the two committees ar- ranging the inaurural celebrations Mrs. Dougherty had planned, through her committee on music, to have the Marine Band give & concert in the lobby | of the Mayflower Hotel between the Tours of 7 and 9 o'clock, just before the ball opens. When Mr. Galliher called upon her early this weck and explained his desire to have a conecert in the Wash- ington _Auditorium during the eame hours Mrs. Dougherty promptly gave him a letter to Maj. Gen. Lejeune, com- mandant of the Marine Corps, releasing the band. This gencrous act disrupted Mrs. Dougherty’s plans and necessitated con- siderable extra work. It was pointed out, however, that the concert would aftord some means of evening entertain- ment to the thousands of visitors who come to Washington, and undoubtedly will be unable to get into the ball. The concert will be over at 9 o'clock, So that any one could attend both events. Mr. Galliher today paid the highest tribute to Mrs. Dougherty. He said that she had done overything possi- ble to help make ecasier his work on the géneral inaugural committee, Be- foro the President reached a definite deciston regarding an official in- augural ball, Mre. Dougherty with- held plans for the charity ball so there would be nothing done on her part which might influence him either way. Stands to Be Private. The reviewing stands committee of the general fnaugural committee has advertised for bids for Government Tesery ons that might accommodate grandstands along Pennsylvania ave- nue. It has been made plain, how- ever, that such stands will be purely private enterprises. No stands what- ever will be built by the inaugural committee, in view of the limited size of the parade, which will pass any ziven point within an hour at the most Although the committee does not feel that it has the authority to con- trol the prices that may be charged for seats in these private stands, it was pointed out today that in no case should the price of a seat exoeed $2.50 and that many of them should sell for as low as $1.50. It was be- cause the advisory committes did not feel itself justified in charging more that it urged the inaugural committee to rescind all plans for the construc- tion of stands, which was done carly this week. It was made plain that the general committee has not retracted, in any manner, its decision to curtall severe- Iy the inaugural ceremonies, in keep- ing with the repeated request of President Coolidge that his induction into office be accompanied by the stm- plest possible ceremony. So far as Mr. Galllher's committee is concerned there will be nothing but the short parsde and the concert in the « 7ening. Cadet Corps Disappointed. Alrcady the refusal of the commit- tee, acting in accordance with the President’'s wishes, to give even the Washington High School Cadet Corps a definite promise of a place in the line of march has disappointed the corps, Stephen E. Kramer, first assist- ant superintendent of public schools, declared today Even when President Harding cut his inaugural ceremonies to virtually nothing the cadet corps, it was as- serted, had its share in what enter- tainment was left. They acted as a special guard in the court of honor in front of the White House. Hope is expressed that the boys may yet be given some duty to perform this in- auguration, as they have taken part in all previous inaugurations.

CURLEY ASSAILS PUNCH-BOARD PLAN AS CHARITY FRAUD ret (Continued from F Page.) ory > 2 collecting agencies who pocket most | of what they get, turning over to tlmi pastor who has been persuaded to use | them, a mere moicty of what is ac- tually received. Mail and telephone are used all day long, and more than once the lay schemer at the other end of the wire give the name of some priest in order to give added strength to his appeal. “Only recently laymen went about the city selling crucifixes for three dollars cach. They stated they were giving part of the price in charity to a home on Hanover street. The cruel- fix was not worth 0 cents. The Catholic Church in this Archdiocese has nothing whatever to do with the home on Hanover street or on Gar- rison boulevard. It has mnothing to do in any canonical way with the so- called Saleslan Sisters. The whole scheme was fraudulent and the perpe- trators should be in the penitentiary. \ere is another classical case The people of the archdiocese are re- iving through the mails a punch card and several pages of literature in the name of Father Paschasius and the Carmelite Fathers of Washing- ton. When the card is completely punched the returns, §12.10, are sent to the Carmelite Fathers and the young lady who peddles the cafl re- | celves five premiums of her own who in the punching process get the | lucky numbers.

The Carmelite Fathers have been made the innocent dupes of a commercial concern manufacturing odds and ends in the way of pre- miume. The five premiums received by the young lady, ranging from a 10-cent shaving brush to a “pearl” necklace, are not worth The pplying concern is simply profiteering. The whole scheme ix a combination of graft, gambling and deception. Tt should be condemned publicly by our priests evervwhere and lay people should throw the card | and literature into the waste paper bas- ket, or, better still, the fire. “The Carmelite Fathers came from Spain to Washington to establish a house of studies for their young men at | the Catholic University. They are not ) bullding, nor are they going to build any national shrine in honor of the Little Flower. There is only one national shrine in course of erection in Washington. It is the Shrine of the Immaculate Concep- tion, now growing into magnificent pro- portions at the Catholic University. This is the only national shrine your arch- blehop knows anything of, and he takes this occasion to urge the priests and people of the archdiocese to visit it and show generosity toward it. 1 have no objection to people giving help to the Carmelite Fathers, but that help should not take the form of making young women and children pay $2.42 for a 10-cent shaving brush or a 12-cent manicure set. “There are a dozen other schemes just as dishonest and discreditable as the one | outlined above. If our people wish to be fooled, ‘I can't prevent it. But I am warning them publi “What I have sald above must not be taken as in any way reflecting on the work and methods of our arch- diocesan charitable organizations— St. Vincent de Paul Society, its waste bureau, its allied organizations, our parish activities, our mendicant re- ligious such as the Little Sisters of the Poor and others. The work of these persons and agencies is known to our people. The Bureau of Catholic Charities and our own Baltimore Catholic Review need no introduction sion to carry on their work. They deserve the support of all Catholics of the archdiocese. To them might well be given the money going to semi-fraudulent schemes now being foisted on our people by men clever enough to deceive and make tools of some few of our unsuspecting clerg: AUTO AND MODERN GIRL PUZZLE MAN FROM CELL Are Biggest Surprises to Convict | Released After 34 Years in British Prison.

There was no session today of the trial of Mrs. Margaret B. Buchanan, former secretary of Samuel A. Fen- dall, Representative from Pennsyl- vania, on a charge of forgery in con- nection with a check for $5.567.24 sent to the Representative by Mayor Smart of Uniontown, Pa., in payment of surplus war material sold at Uniontuwn. The trial will be resumed Monday _merning before Justice Adolph A. Hoehling and a jury in Criminal Division 1- of the District Supreme Court. Outline of Defense. Assistant United States Attorney Burnett rested the case of the prose- | cutlon shortly before adjournment| yesterday and Attorney Richard | Wellford outlined the defense. He sald he expected to prove that Mrs Buchanan was in control of Kendall's office and frequently signed his name and had a general authority to handle matters coming before the office. He would #how he xaid, that Kendall told rs. Buchanan to secure other help and to gi her entire attention to the sale of the war material, and that they “would be partners: that his part of the partnership would be the political prestige that he would . obtaln in his congressional district and her part would be in dollars and cents.” Immediately after that statement, the lawyer de- clared he expected to prove, Kendall and Mrs. Buchanan began purchasing large amounts of goods from Federal quartermaster depots, «nd when the money would come in it would be de- posited in a bank at Myersville, Pa., where Kendall has his home, and of which bank he ie an officer. When pay- ment was made to the Government, the lawyer stated, it was never made direct- 1y to the United States by Kendall, but the checks were made payable to Mrs. Buchanan in her individual capacity. Purchase From Shoe Company. When shipments of shoes could not be obtained in sufficient quantity, the lawyer said, a deal was made with the Huntington Shoe and Leather Co. of In- diana 10 byy $100,000 worth of shoes trom that company for resale. Fred H. Bowers, a lawyer from Indi- ana, was the first witness offered by the defense. He called on Representa- tive Kendall, he sald, in February, 1921, in relation to the balance due the Huntington Shoe Co., on a pur- chase of $100,000 worth of shoes, which had been shipped to the joint account of Kemdall and Mayor Smart of Uniontown, on which was due a balance of $35,000. He sald Kendall denied he had signed the guarantee, |and Mrs. Buchanan in the presence of Kendall stated she had signed it and that she thought she had the author- ity to do so. Witness then threatened to go into court in Kendall's district and sue him on the account and Ken- dall responded that he did not think that would be necessary, and that he thought the shoes would be paid for. Promixe Not Satinfactory. Witness, not satisfied general promi Teft with the that room Bowers sald, and Kendall followed him into the corridor. Kendall then told him that he felt confident {hat Mrs. Buchanan was “absolutely honest, and that she wax very éffi- clent and very able.” Kendall then ugaured witneas that when collectiony were made Mrx. Buchunun would forward the collections to the shoe company, und ugain assured Bowers that Mrs, Buchanan was “absolutely honest.” COOPERS HOLD SERVICE. Ancient Ceremony Still Kept Alive in London. Correapondence of the Assoclated Press LONDON, January 16.—One of the most ancient memorial services held an- nually in London Is that of the Wor- shipful . Company of Coopers. It was origingted by the terms of the will of Henry Clicker, dated May 10, 1575, which provided *“that the master and wardens of the company of coopers aft- er ye decease of my wife shall upon New Year day. at afternoon, vearly for- ever, at a reasonable hour, in the Church of St. Michael's in Crooked lane, in Lon don, provide some learned man to maki sermon, and he to have for his paine 6 shillings.” Since the death of the founder. how- r, this sum has been increased to 42 shillings. In accordance with the an- nual custom the will. which abounds in small requests et out in quaintly phrased language, was read at the close of the service by the clerk of the coop- ers’ company.
