Byrd and Wife Are| . Hosts at Historic Execu- { ~ tive Mansion. Wy the Assoclated Fress. RICHMOND, Va.. November 20.— The outstanding soclal event of the thirty-third annual convention of the United Daughters of the Confederacy was the reception today to officers and dplegates by Gov. and Mrs. Harry F. Byrd. The historic executive mansion here was a fitting setting for the affair, attended, as it was, by many of the women who saw their fathers. husbands and brothers march off to the great conflict between the States. An hour earlier In the day the of- ficers and delegates were honored by & reception at the Confederate Mu- meum, tendered by the Confederate Memorial Literary Society. Amity that marked the election of officers yvesterday also featured the melection of Charleston, S. C., as the place for the next annual meeting. Delegates from Houston, Tex.; Biloxi and Gulfport, Miss., and Los Angeles. CaMf., presented invitations and pleas fo the convention to mieet in 1927 in their city. Later, however, they with- drew. partly as a courtesy to Mrs. St. John A. Lawton of Charleston, president general, and partly as a tribute to Mrs. A. T. Smythe of Charleston, past president general and now honorary president. The sessions vesterday were devoted principally to reports of general offl- cers, some of which were left over. These included the report of the third vice president general, Miss Katle Daffan of Texas; register general, Mrs. W. J. Woodliff, Oklahoma; custo- dian of crosses of honor and service, Mrs. R. Phillip Holt of North Carolina, and the custodian of flags and pen- nants, Mrs. Jackson Brandt, Balti- more. Reports of the transportation commlittee, the Mrs. Norman V. Ran- dolph relief fund for needy Confed- erate women, the official stationery committee and the educational com- mittee also were presented. Dr. Mat- thew Page Andrews reported on the American Legion history and the Yale University Press. All were unani- mously adopted. Work of Children. Miss Daffan’s report dealt with the work of the Children of the Confed- eracy. She recommended that the children place a memorial to Father Ryan in the New St. Mary’s Church, now being built on the site of the old church, in Mobile, Ala., and suggested that it be an organ. She also an- nounced a new prize, the Mollie Day Daffan cup, in memory of her mother, to ge biven to the member of a chil- dren’s chapter who performs the most unselfish service for a Confederate veteran or widow. ‘The list of awards announced in the report follow: The Robert H. Hicks banner, for the chapter having the best report of work done, was awarded to the Julia Jackson Chapter of Char- lotte, N. C. The Harvey loving cup, to the division registering the great- est number of children of the Con- federacy, was awarded to Mrs. Joseph B. Workman of South Carolina. The ‘W. 8. Coleman loving cup, to the chapter placing the greatest number of Southern books in the school libra- ries, was won by the Ninth of June Chapter, Petersburg, Va. The Flor- ence Golder Faris medal, to the di vision registering the second highest number of children of the Confeder- acy, to Mrs. W. R. Cowper of North Carolina. The Grace Clare Taylor cup, to the chapter securing the greatest number of new members, the Margaret Rose Chapter of Little Rock, Ark. fTwo past presidents general, Mrs. 14vingstone Rowe Schuyler of New York and Mrs. R. W. McKinney of Tennessee, were sent from the con- vention floor at the beginning of yes- terday afternoon’s session to invite Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, who was in the hotel, to the convention. The widow of the President, however, had another engagement and said she hoped to attend another session. Eppa Hunton, jr., of Richmond, urged the daughters to help in the upkeep of the Battle Abbey here. Vir- ginia, he said, has done its part for pay only for operating cost, and not for the upkeep of the building and the grounds. Subscriptions taken from the floor for the Randolph relief fund for needy | Confederate women totaled well over $5,000. The largest amount given was $500 from the North Carolina division, iwhile the Boston. Mass.. Chapter gave $360. Mrs. Lawton announced she would contribute any deficit in the fund needed to care for the 29 old women on the list. Mrs. Schuyler of- fered a resolution that the Daughters rajse $50,000 as an endowment for this fund, and if the action is approved by a majority of the division presi- dents the president general be em- {powered to appoint a committee of five to arrange the details and ap-| point a director from each State to The ~ outstanding feature of last: night's session was the action of the converition in going on record as being in favor of the formation of a Jeffer- son Davis Highway Association, to be composed bf both men and women, and whose aim would be the promotion of the highway named for the President of the Confederacy. The executive committee announced in its report that the District of Co- lumbia 'division of the Daughters had been reinstated, providing that three new chapters organized since the division’s suspension in 1923 be rec- ognized as forming a part of the division.

Special Dispatch to The Star._ BALTIMORE, November 20.—Con- victed on seven charges of burglar- izing rooms in three hotels here, Joseph D. Raymond, 30 years old, wanted in Washington and New York on the same charge, was sentenced to 70 years in the penitentiary by Judge Eugene O'Dunne in Criminal Court yesterday. He was given 10 years on each charge, the sentences to run consecu- tively, but will not have to spend a day of imprisonment in this State, as sentence was immediately suspended. The judge ordered him to be deliversd to the New York authorities and then to the Washington authorities, and subsequently to be deported. If he ever comes back to this country the 70-year sentence will become self-ex- ecuting, the judge ruled, and, if Ray- mond is apprehended he must serve his term. MOST FAITHFUL COP. German Traffic Director Works 24 Hours Daily, but He's a Dummy. BERLIN, November 20 (#).—The world’s record for faithful devotion to duty is claimed for a traffic cop on a highway in a corner of Brandenburg. This policeman is on duty, rain or shine, 24 hours a day, with one hand upraised, at a dangerous curve on a much-traveled highway. He is a dummy figure, in full uni- form, the villagers being too poor to pay a sure-enough traffic guardian. Observers say that his directions are well obeyed.
