DEGRILS I]ISIR'[:.FS FIRST ANNUAL OUTING OF THE SOCIETY OF THE NATIVES OF THE DISTRICT IN ROCK CREEK PARK LACK OF SUFFRAGE Charles W. Darr Pleads for Representation Before Society of Natives. A stirring address by Charles W. Darr, prominent Washington lawyer, including a vivid account of the de- velopment’ of the National Capital and a strong appeal for District suf- frage. featured a picnic of the So- clety of Natives of the District of Co- at the Miller cabin, Rock Creek sterday afternoon. The pic- as held in connection with “Old Home Week,” sponsored by the so- clety, which came to a conclusion yes- terday. Emphasizing the loyalty and devo- tion of the Washingtonian to the Capital and the United States, Mr. Darr deplored the fact that the citl- zens of this city are deprived of their Tig] s citizens, “We bow to the rule of Congress and the hosses control us without any voice whatsoever,” declared Mr. Darr. ‘““We are not to have one word as to the distribution of the money we pay for tav. ; or to who is to be appointed a wistrict official and we find ourselv bsolutely helpless be- fore Congress to get relief.” Declares Leader Is Needed. The speaker declared emphatically that “we should have a right to spend that money we pay for taxes,” and emphasized the need of a never-tiring leader who would continue undaunted in his efforts to help the citizens of Washington to secure the vote and all other rights enjoyed by the other citizens of the United States. “We have sacrificed the greatest privilege known to an American citi- zen,” he said, “the right of the right to self-government, of self-determination, the right of choosing our own rulers and the right to reward or punish them as they deserve as public servants.” The afternoon’'s program included many special features, which kept members of the soclety on the go. Ap- propriate to the occasion was the reading of a sketch of Joaquin Miller, the poet to whom Miller's cabin is now a memorial, by Miss Maud Burr Mor- ris. Several patriotic airs and “‘Home, Sweet Home” were sung by Mrs. Philip Addison, with members of the society ining in the chorus.

SHAW DECLINES TO GRACE DINNER TO MACDONALD “Absence From Town and Strong Sense of Humor” Will Prevent Attendance, He Tells 0’Connor. Correspondence of the Associated Press. LONDON, June 3. Bernard Shaw's s print, this time a note declining an invitation from T. P. O'Connor to at- tend a dinner for Ramsay MacDonald. 1t follows. “My dear T. P.—Absence from town and a strong sense of humor will pre- vent me from accepting your invita- tion to dine in acknowledgment of the political eminence of Ramsay MacDonald. Considering that the man has been prime minister of England, I should have thought his eminence had been noticed “If the dinner is a success, I sug- gest that it be followed by another to acknowledge the piety of the Pope, yet another to emphasize the mathemat- fcal talent of Einstein and a final one to call attention to the existence of milestones on the Dover road. “If you could throw in a lunch to remind people that T am rather good at writing plays, all the better. “These meals would have come in more handily 50 years agc. Still they are well meant, and T hope you will all enjoy elves very much.” WOODMEN TO CONVENE ON PIER AT CHICAGO Mile-Long Structure Is 'Turned Into Barracks, With Cots for 10,000 Delegates.

BOARDER MYSTERIOUSLY | AIDS INFANTS OF POOR. SLAIN WHILE HE SLEEPS New Jersey Murder Committed by Man Who Comes to House in Car at 3 A M. Special Dispatch to The Star. RUTHERFORD, N. J., June 20.— One month ago, Frank Lind, his past shrouded in deepest mystery, took a room in a boarding house of Mrs. Mary Semkens. Whence he came, who he was, what he had been doing—every- thing about him except that he was ostensibly a carpenter and was 48 years oldi—he kept a careful secret. At 3 o'clock this morning a ring on her bell brought Mrs. Semkens to the door. An automobile, with a man at the wheel, stood at the curb. In the doorway was another man. “I want to see Lind,” he tersely explained. “Why, he's asleep in his room and 1 wouldn't want to disturb him at this hour,” began the landlady, but the man pushed by her and started upstairs. Later, Mrs. Semkens heard a groan as a figure pushed past her in the hall, leaped into the waiting car and sped away. Police and a physician, answering the landlady’'s alarm, found Lind in bed, moaning and plucking feebly at a stiletto imbedded near him heart. “I'm killed,” he murmured, and died. A patrolman on duty near the house, suspecting something amiss when the car started away, noted what he believed to be the numbers of the license plates, but the police tonight apnounced the wrong number must have been taken in the police- man’s haste, as the plates noted were found on the limousine of a wealthy resident of Bernardsville, N. J., and never had been removed. The murder car was a small sedan. Further investigation revealed that Lind had worked as a carpenter in Bernardsville, Newark and Maywood, N. J., and that he expected his wife from Finland in a few days. GERMANY PLANS SHRINE. COLOGNE, Germany, June 20 ().— At the close of a fervid speech today as part of the celebration in com- memoration of Germany's possession of the Rhineland for 1,000 years, Burgomaster Adenauer ' announced that Germany soon would have an un- known soldier shrine. He said the un- known soldler would be buried in the «Cologne Cathedral, the tomb to serve as a German national war memorial. The burgomaster declared that Cologne was the most appropriate spot on the Rhine for this memorial, having been the chief objective in the great war. 13th and E. Cap.

By the Associated Press. ROME, Jyne 20.-—A sense of relief was evident today with improvement of the lire quotation on the Bourse, and it was commented by many that the crisis in Italy’s “lire battle” has been reached and passed. This belief was strengthened by the fact that the heads of all the leading banking institutions, after a discussion of the situation, had decided there was no reason for anxiety or preoccupation. After the meeting the banking offi- clals told Minister of Finance de Stefani that their confidence in the country’s currency was unshaken; 7 — ] that they approved the governmes action in raising the discount rate and the rate of interest on state bonds, and that they agreed on the line of action to continue the fight to ultimate victor. These bankers who_ thus repledged their confidence in Italy’s financlal stability, decided, among other things, to limit foreign money credits to their depositors to absolute industrial and commercial needs; to extend credit in foreign money to those having on deposit foreign bills or other foreign securities only insofar as these de- positors retained on deposit only what foreign securities were absolutely necessary for their business, and to extend no credit whatever to specu- lators.
