Brandler said he had been visiting customers and stopped in a restau- rant in the Ghetto district. There half a dozen other patrons and the waiters in the place when the three men entered, he said.

R. STONE, IN MEMORIAL Construction of the piers of the Ar- lington Memorial Bridge, which is ‘to connect the Lincoln Memorial, in West Potomac Park, with the resting place {of the Nation’s heroic dead in the National Cemetery at Arlington, has revived interest in the question as to what disposition shall be made of the historic block of stone dedicated by the Grand Army of the Republic at its encampment in this city October 2, 1902, as the corner stone of the bridge. Maj. U. S. Grint, 3d, director of public buildings and public parks, who is executive officer” of the Arlington Memorial Bridge Commission, is con- sidering the question of the availa- bility of the old stone in the construc- tion of the superstructure of the bridge under the approved design, but final decision in the matter will be made by the bridge commission, of which President Coolidge is the chair- man, Because the historic block is sand- stone and the piers and arches of the bridge are to be formed of granite, it may be found impracticable to use the former as the actual corner stone of the structure, but, it is intimated, that it may be found possible to incor- .| porate the big block in some less con- spicuous part of the immense struc- ture. There is a strong sentiment | among Grand Army men and members of the Stonecutters’ Union of this city in favor of its use in some way in the new bridge. History of Noted Stone. In 1902 Congress authorized a sur- vey of the site of the proposed Me- morial Bridge. In the same year the Stonecutters’ Union of this city cut and designed ‘“the corner stone” of the bridge, and it was officially dedi- cated to such use at the thirty-sixth national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, then in session here. From that year until the Spring of 1913 _theggtone rested at_the h: MAY NOT BE LAID BRIDGE CORNER east corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Madison place directly opposite the statue of Lafayette. It was dis- placed on that date by the Treasury annex building in 1918, and removed to its present location, in an obscure section of West Potomac Park, on the |- line of what was once Water street and near the foot of what would be Twenty-fifth street if it had been ex- tended that far south. Generally it is south and a little west of the Naval Medical Hospital, on old Observatory Hill. It stands in plain view from Water street, in a_fine grove of Carolina poplars, partly surrounded by a dilapi- dated iron post and chain fence. Not- withstanding its long exposure to the elements, the big stone is said to be in excellent condition for any use that may be made of it. Inscription On Its Face. Its history is told in deeply incised letters on its broad face as follow “Designed and presented by the Stonecutters’ Union of Wash- ington, D. C., As the corner stone of the Me- morial Bridge, ‘Which in connecting the Natlon’s Capital with Arlington, Shall ever stand as a memorial to American patriotism. Dedicated the second day of Oc- tober, 1902, During the thirty-sixth national encampment Of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie.” That legend is flanked by inscrip. tions of the insignia of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Stone- cutters’ Union.

By the Associated Press. BUDAPEST, May 12—A declara- tion by Prince Windisch-Graetz that his accomplice, Schultze, learned the bank note forging process from the French in the Ruhr, where, he said, the occupation forces made false Ger- man mark bills, enlivened -the trial yesterday of the 30,000,000-franc counterfeiting case.

One of the chief matters up for con- sideration is the third certification ex- amination of the institute, which would provide a more rigid testing of members of the' profession than that of the “certified watchmaker.” It is Moore, secretary of the institute, until the public will demand that watch- makers shall pass public tests of their efliciency. The institute has as one of its purposes the training of expert watchmakers to meet this demand. This morning’s session was devoted to business and this afternoon ad dresses were given by Olaf Ohlson, horological engineer of the Waltham ‘Watch Co., and Capt. E. T. Pollock, superintendent of the Uunited States Naval Observatory. Dr. J. C. Van| Slyke demonstrated his patent clock. | which is described as “almost human.
