SEEKS—STABL.E REMOVAL FROM CHILLUM HEIGHTS Citizens’ Association Also to Re- quest Opening of Second Street From:Keddeds to Longfellow. The Zoning Commission will he re- quested to bring about removal of the stable of the Riding School on the O'Hare property in Chillum Helghts, as a result of action taken last night by the Chillum Heights Citizens’ Asso- ciation, meeting in the Joseph R.

With two days remaining in which to complete their campaign, team cap- tains in the drive to obtain $140,000 from the people of Washington to as- sure the erection of the District War Memorial, met at luncheon t v for their final regular report, hoping to bring their $48.500 fund so far raised well above the $50,000 mark before this evening. Monday the final campaign luncheon will be held, and this luncheon will be attended by all team workers as well as captains. Depending on the report to ba made then, plans probably will ba announced for the future of the me- morial, and whether sufficient funds will have been raised actually to be- gin ite construction. Although returns have heen disappointing, those in charge of the campaign are unwilling to concede defeat and are banking on last-minute reports from a number of sources yet to be heard from. “Gold-Star Mother’s” Day. " Today has been designated “Gold- Star Mother's” day in the campaign as a mark of respect to the hundreds of motheirs in Washington who gave sons and daughters to the Nation Aduring the war. Many of these mothers have heen among the most active workers in the campalign, giv- ing all of their time during the past week to active solicitation among Washingtonians for the money that will mean to them the perpetuation of their children’s memory. FEvery day during the eampaign, about to end, has hrought some little story to the workers at headquarters, showing the epirit of willingness and self sacrifice on the part of many who have subscribed. An old colored man, giving a contribution of a dime to one of the hooths, told the lady fn charge that he had 10 such dimes, and that he was going from booth to booth, leaving a dime at each place in mem- ory of his son. One YOung man yes- terday sent in the contribution of a dollar, saving that he gave it in mem- |ory of his father, who lost his life in the war. Little Kitty Hill, 4-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs, John Philip Hill, conducted a brief ‘*house-to- | house” canvas yesterday, and through | her mother, was able to report $40 at vesterday's luncheon. Navy Band Gives Concert. Last night the Navy Band played in front of the Karle Theater for fts first concert, under the direction of Lieut. Charles Benter, following the concert by the Army Band on Thurs- day night. The Navy Band will play once more this evening at 7:30 o'clock, cloging this series of concerts in con- junction with the Earle Theater's benefit performance during the last week. The Marine Band, the Brigade Army and the Navy Bands have made these concerts an enjoyable feature of the week's campaign, and large to hear the military band play the martial airs which meant so much a few years ago, when they were played to the rhythmic swing of marching troops. As an added attraction at the Earle last night the Washington Boys’' In- dependent Band, resplendent in neat new uniforms, appeared twice on the stage at the Earle, once at 7 o'clock and again at 10:50, and under the di- rection of J. L: Kidwell, band leader, played the march “Our Director.” the overture, “Energy,” and the “Inde- pendent’ Band_March.” There was also a saxophone solg by C. J. Brown, jr., son of the vige president and manager of the band, and Ernest Lenzer, 7-year-old cornetist, played the sola in a march trio.

In line with this policy, the Com- missioners today decided to defer con- sideration of a petitlon signed by 272 emploves in the Southern Railway Building protesting against a recent addition to the trafic regulations which sets a one-hour parking limit on Thirteenth street hetween Penn- sylvania avenue and B street. The petition pointed ont that the regula tion will inconvenience the employes who park their cars Thirteenth street, south of Penngylvania avenue. on Eldridge Proposals to Wait, There are several other impor traffic matters before the Commis- sioners on which thev plah to defer action until Mr. Harland had sufficient time to consider them and known his recommendations. These include 40 proposed in the trafic regulations submitted ahout a month ago hy Acting Traffie Director M. O. Eldridge and the automatic traffic light extension pro- K&ram.

S. AID Government Ready to Help in Co- operative Marketing, Jar- dine Announces. By the Associated Pres KANSAS CITY, May 7.—Assurance of Government support for a suitable national co-operative grain marketing organization from Secretary of Agri- culture Jardine yesterday brought forecasts of a Federation of American pools from delegates to the interna- tional wheat pool conference here. In a conference with Middle West. enraGrowern, Secretary-Jardine an- nounced that the Government was ready to give strong financial support to the right sort of co-operative mar- keting movement. Long-time Government loans, total- ing $25,000,000 or perhaps more, wouid be available, the Secretary indicated, provided the growers devised and pre- sented an acceptable plan. The plans should be worked out in detail by the farmers themselves, he said. The proposal for a national co. operative organization was in line with a resolution adopted by the 300 delegates urging wheat producers of the chief exporting countries to push negotiations for co.ordination under a world marketing policy. Russian, Ca- nadian and Australian delegates joined American growers in support of the resolution.

Testimony was concluded vesterday | at the closing session of the trial's| third week and adjournment was taken until Monday. Gray, during the closing hours of | | his cross-examination by Dana Wal- | lace, of counsel for Mra. Snyder, con- tinued to be suave and gracious. Asked by Wallace what he had hoped to gain by the murder of Albert Snyder, the husband of his mistress, | Gray caimly veplied: | “That is what I would like to know." Mrs. Snyder Bored. ! Mrs. Snyder appeared bored and gazed about the courtroom. Only when the testimony would involve in- timate details of her life with Gray would she bow her head and fondle | her black glaves. Mrs. Snyder, contrary to expecta- tions, did not take the stand in re- | direct examination. Counsel for the | widow had announced prior to the | opening of court yesterday that she | would be called to refute statements | made by G | nounced for tt | Rix character witnes: who testified to the truth and Gray's reputation | for veracity followed the little corset | salesman to the stand. | Gray, with tears in his eyes, but his | head ‘erect, walked hack to his cell | under guard.

Both defendants took the atand in their own behalf, each blaming the other; Mra. Snyder was on the stand | for 12 hours and Gray for 17. Mrs Snyder's mother was called in her de. | fense, Gray’s mother did not teatify, although she was in the courtroom. | Mra. Snyder’'s 9-year-old daughter, TLorraine, took the stand to answer two questions. The State called 44 witnesses.

S. Rowe, director general of the Pan-American Union, Mr. Merrill went on to speak of what his own company, which next year celebrates its fiftieth anniversary, has done in its efforts through its cable service to bind together the nations of the two continents, “We of the communication world,” said Mr. Merrill, “are keenly inter- ested in all methods which improve and fort communication between nation "e marvel at the discov- eries already made, and no one knows what the future has ‘in store. We glory in the fact, however, that along- side’ of these wireless improvements the art of cable communication is showing equally remarkable develop- ment, and the service which vou are now receiving is sufficient attestation of the growing efficiency of cable com- munication.” Mr. Merrill said that the All Amer- ica Cables, Inc., feels that it has been privileged “to bring ever closer and | closer together the great republics of this Western Hemisphere; that we have heen the means of smoothing out mistunderstandings, and likewise the means of promoting prosperity among the merchants of South America, Cen- tral America and the United States.” Predicts Cable Improvements. That cable service will be improved hetween the Americas, he predicted as an outgrowth of the company’s ex- pansion, having lately joined forces with the International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation. “This mighty enterprise which through an asso- ciated company, has given to the Kingdom of Spain a telepHone service equal to any in the world,” he said, “and which is furnishing similar serv- e to Cuba, Porto Rico and Mexico, which through the International Standard Electric Corporation, has large manufacturing plants in Eng. land, France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Austria, China and Japan is bound to be an important factor in the develop- ment of All America Cables.” In reply to Mr. Merrill's welcome, J. Arturo Arguedas, delegate from Bo- livia, responded in behalf of the Latin American visitors. He spoke of the service which the cables rendered to international business, declaring that “jt is through the cables that we con- vey our inter-American messages of sympathy, love and co-operatibn. “It is through the cables.” he added, that we bind them and unite them as if they were a whole, great, single com- monwealth,” In referring to the work which has been accomplished by the commercial conference Senor Arguedas expressed the opinion that it had been prolific in initiative, good will and common unde: nding.” Iie said it was certain that the de- liberations and resolutions of the con- ference “will tend more to bring about the realization of that common desire, that will of the peoples of a continent of continents to unite, to make a bond, to form a great, gen- uine, sincere amalgamation of high ideals and purposes that may also bring ahout the prosperity, :concord, well being and happiness of all the countries thus united, to lead the world in each and every one of its activities.” QUEEN TO BE CROWNED.

Policeman Middleton _took them hoth to Emergency Hospital and Vitale to jail. Vitale sald he owned the shop and wanted to keep it. Mrs. Vitale sald six weeks ago he had come to call and had siashed a lot of draperfes and ruined her perma- nent wave.

While this correspondent was in Morgan's private office, a river cap- tain came in to report the landing of a barge load of refugees and cattle. “We stopped the boat in mid- stream,” the skipper laughingly an- nounced, “to rescue a hog that was swimming around and just about all in. We pulled him aboard amd he runted: his thanks.” g,“gnod, now wash your boflers and get your boat out of here as soon as possible, Take her down to Saint Joe and get those mules off the levee down there. They're raising the devil stamping around and may cause a break in the levee. Don't get anybody but the stock. You go back after the refugees later.” “Gotcha, cap'n,” replied the skipper respectfull “I'll clear away as soon as I cool the boilers, but how about my written orders?” “Damn written orders. Maybe it 1 have time, I'll send some to you later. So long, Cap'n.” Which is Admiral Morgan's way of getting results in the flood emer- gency. Plan Replanting of Crops.
