Misunderstanding Cited. “This correspondence,” wrote C man Moore to Admiral Fiske, closes the fact that a fundamental L as no permi n of the proposed memorial can be issued until the loca- tion and design have been approved by the commission, it will be necessary 10 cloar this misunderstanding. “In the first place, the commission, 1n a letter of January 19, 1926, definite- 1y disapproved the location at Hains Point. In the same letter the com- mission expressed the decided opinion that the design was not monumental in character, but rather romantic: that it should not be executed in the size suggested, but should be studied from the viewpoint of a garden orna- ment. When such studies had been made the commission expressed a will- ingness again to consider the desizn from the new standpoint. Such ac- tion the commission is still ready to take, but no approval of any design has as yet been given by the com- mission. “The correspondence scnt out from the office of#he Navy and Marine Me- morial Assétiation Proves that con- tributions have been solicited on the basis of placing the names of con- tributors of $100 or more on the monu- ment. Such an assurance is unwar- ranted by the law as interpreted by the commission. The commission would not feel warranted in giving ap- proval to a project complicated by en- gagements not warranted by the law. The commission feels that it is best to have a definite understanding on this point before any further steps can be taken.” Admiral Fiske Replies. Adrairal Fiske, in rep ter from Col.

For this young lady is a future lawyer, and believes strongly in woman's part in politics, business and the professions. Her speaking voice is a deep, reso- nant contralto and her manner is quiet and deliberate, and her delivery pauses are commanding. She occupied the full 10 minutes allowed by the Na- tional contest regulations in her speech last night, and that fact came dangerously near to making nervous wrecks of the time keepers, But there was absolutely nothing nervous in her manner and she calmly drove her points home.

The defense lawyer also dwelt on | the fact that after Boersig was sup- | posed to have perpetrated the erime he went to his home and went to bed. He asked the jury if a man with a guilty conscience would have walked home after such an irrational act and gone to bed. During the first recess due to the illness of Mr. Plaskett, Boersig smoked a cigarette and chatted with his_attorney, Representative R. Walton Moore of Virginia was an interested spectator at the trial this morning, and he in- formed newspaper men he probably would have a statement regarding the Boersig case before the trial is con- sluded. Boersig's wife presented a pitiable figure when she took the stand at 6 ck last night. Choked with emo- tion, she sald she still had confidence in her husband, and that while he had mistreated her while he was drinking he always made up for it when he was sober. Mrs. Boersig's four chil- dren also were in the courtroom. Tells Straightforward Story. Boersig told a straightforward story when he on the witness stand, and all attempts by Commonwealth's Attorney Farr to shake him failed. Boersig neither denied nor admitted the Ridgeway crime, but declared his mind was a blank after his visit at the home, and that he was certain would not have been possible for him to perpetrate such a crim The crowd outside of the courthouse today was somewhat dimihished, but those packed into the courtroom its: yae greater numbers than yester- day.
