Coleman | | Nev! S. J., explained, because of the growing activities of alumni bodies on the West Coast and the desire to have all sections of the country represented on the supervisory board of the Uni- wersity.

He was born in Oakland, Calif., April 16, 1872. ‘The late Judge Manley, whose place on the board of regents remains to be filled, was one of the most distin- guished lawyers of North Carolina.

Joseph C. Breitenstein, LL. B. ’14, is president of this association, which takes in Northern Ohio, and Edward ‘Butler is secretary. Organization of the widely scattered alumni bodies of the | university is one of the most important problems with which President Nevils s interested. Reports from the prin- cipal alumni center point to a year of unusual activity. In Providence, on December 17, the ‘Rhode Island Alumni Club gave a testi- “monial dinner for Dr. Michael L. Mul- Jdaney in honor of his recent election 1o the board of regents of the university. :At that time, Dr. Mullaney was a > ‘ed the degree of doctor of sciences by ‘President Nevils. 1 Given Silver Service. © Rev.

He lived in Georgetown at that time. ‘Writing recently to Father Nevils, Mr. Soper mentioned this link that connects | him with Georgetown, and told of his | father taking him to a Georgetown | commencement during his youth. The recent death of Mrs. Rose G. Cronin, wife of Francis D. Cronin, secretary to Father Nevils and former secretary to Rev. Charles W. Lyons, was a matter of genuine regret to all of his many friends at Georgetown. Mrs. Cronin, who was Miss Rose Geishecker of Dedham, Mass., contracted influenza en route home for the Christmas holi- days and died in Boston, December 21, shortly after her arrival there. Mr. and Mrs. Cronin, who had been married a little more than three months, made their home at 3039 Q street. Classes to Resume This Week.

Beverley Held Many Po- sitions of Honor. S”;';:lgg‘“‘"h to The Star. ERICKSBURG, Va., December 29.—Robert Carter Beverley, one of the most prominent citizens of Essex County, died at his home, Blandfield, yestere after a brief illness of pneu- monia. He was owner of extensive farm lands in Essex County, president of the Bank of Essex, president of the ! Farmers’ Union, president of the Lay- man's Assoclation of the Rappahannock Valley and held many other places of importance. He is survived by three sons, Carter Beverley and W. W. Bev- erley of Richmond and Bland Beverley of Fauquier; one daugnter, Mrs. H. S. born of - Tappahapnock, and one Jy B. ©, Beverley.of Fauquier. i headline stating that Mr. Berlin's baby | Maj. Bill Kennelly Sponsors | (Written exclusively for The Star and North American Newspaper Alliance.’ NEW YORK, December 29.—No equestrian statue in Central Park looks more proud than handsome Bill Ken- nelly, the major, as he draws rein on the bridle path and sits back like the Napoleon of clubdom he is, his gaze fixed in approval upon the fine build- ing which is the new home of the New York Athletic Club. Bill often rides a horse in the park. He is president of the club and was drafted to serve at a time when club finances were muddled. His first act was to drop an architect then being retained at $50,000 a year, although no | new building was in sensible prospect. His second act was to rally his forces and finances for the erection of the clubhouse soon to be occupied. It seems odd that Maj. Kennelly should be a prominent member of an athletic club, let alone a president, be- scause he is an athlete. But an athlete will slip into an athletic club once in a while, and then who's going to put him out? Kennelly was star athlete of the old 7th Regiment, and as cap- tain of Company C, 69th, and then pro- vost marshal of the Marseille area he had a mean reputation for inflicting setting-up exercises on doughboys. He also was crack rifle shot of his regi- ment. Kennelly has a Croix de Guerre, and it was after a French government agent saw it on his wall that the major be- came civillan auctioneer, got the job, with a large commission, of auctioning off harbor-front property belonging to France but located in Brooklyn. The French had confidence in Bill. Wasn't his ancestor private counselor to Louls XVI? Athletic art is rampant in the ren- alssance room of the new clubhouse. A series of murals presents a historical view of the sports of old, which still are popular in this club. They include youth and maiden in the Greek mara- thon, Roman boxers in the arena, Per- sians at polo, with a mosque for back- ground; tennis before a Louis XIV chateau, golf right outside of Windsor Castle, American Indians discovered at lacrosse by priest gnd soldier, and the Dutch at a game of bowls in that open plot at Broadway's end, which now car- ries the name of Bowling Green. ‘Take it altogether, the interior of the clubhouse is enough to make any phys- ically lazy man suffer. There are the bar, of course, and the lounge, and 300 bedrooms, but they are sandwiched in among swimming pool, gymnasium, tracks, hand ball courts, rooms for box- ing, wrestling, freak stunts of physical torture and a roof promenade extensive ;noug}: to permit an athlete to fly a kite rom it. the ) Gothic Architecture. ‘The nearest thing to a Gothic ruin that Manhattan has today is the shell of the Riverside Church, which burned the week before Christmas. The stone around the lofty, narrow window spaces is blackened and broken, like the rem- nant of some shrine in Brittany. Luckily those window spaces had not yet been filled. Rumor has it that the stained glass going into the 10 aisle windows will be the closest modern ap- proach to the glass that is still the glory of the Cathedral of Chartres, after seven centuries. The beauty of this church represents the fulfillment of desire for Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, its.pastor-to-be, and John D. Rockefeller, jr., Sunday school teacher and heavy financial backer. It does seem a shame that public knowl- edge of the Rockefeller wealth modified public sympathy in the case of this fire. People read the news account of the $1,000,000 loss and said: “That’s too bad, but there’s plenty more money where that came from.” 1f, following this fire, the trustees had announced that the building project would be abandoned and that the con- gregation would remain in the preseut small gem of a Baptist Church on Park avenue, that would have been news. Berlin Baby Dead. Tt happens that on December 24 the Skyliner had occasion to call up Irving Berlin, writer of ballads, and mostly happy ones, and that at the end of the talk wishes for a merry Christmas were exchanged. ‘The saddest thing that can hai)pen on Christmas day is the death of a little | child, and so the sight of a newspaper son had died then made that wish for a bright holiday appear ghastly. The newspapers also announced that this brought together, in the tenderness of grief, the song writer and his father- NEW YORK Structure Completed.

They tell of sitting in their homes, in Chicago, Philadelphia and elsewhere on Christmas eve, and with tender hearts hearing Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, great radio preacher, announce the carols and the present | choir sing about the little town of | Bethlehem, under the same Father Finn who trained their child voices to the tonal purity of angels. One of these senders of telegrams went to Europe with the choir and sang in cathedrals as solo soprano, but came back an incipient baritone. That trip was big experience, but no more ex- citing than the wud ride of the present boy choir on Christmas eve. With motor cycle police and red fire department car clearing the way with a siren, they shot out to Long Island to sing carols from the gallery of the minstrels in Nicholas F. Brady's castle of a country house, which is probably the finest place in the United States for a Christmas party. They returned at equal speed, and broadcast from a studio on Fifth Avenue. From there the escort rush them to church. The service began at midnight, and they arrive 10 minutes before. But to see thosz boys leaning from the windows of their bus and haughtily motioning the occupants of classy cars to get out of the way was a sight to gladden the eyes. Choir boys out sing- ing Christmas carols with a motor cycle escort and red fire-car sounding a siren! Oh the times, oh the customs, as Horace used to say. OWNERS WIN FIGHT TO ENLARGE CEMETERY Arlington County Commissioners Rescind Action Revoking Per- mit Issued in 1926. Special Dispatch to The Star. ARLINGTON, Va., December 29.— Through a vote of 2 to 1, the county commissioners today reinstated a per- mit issued in December, 1926, for ex- tension of the Columbia Gardens Cem- etery on Glebe road. The action per- mits the owners to take in six addi- tional acres, an application for a larger extension to be received later. A year following the granting of the original permit, the board revoked the permit at the insistence of adjacent property owners. The cancellation of their revocation today followed a heat- ed argument, during which time Com- monwealth’s Attorney Willam C. Gloth read a written opinion to the eftect that the original revocation was 1llegal. Edward Duncan, chairman, and E. C. ‘Turnburke voted favorably for the cem- etery corporation, and B. M. Hedrick voted against it, claiming that the ap- plication had not been made accord- ing to law. Walter I. Gideon, repre- senting the adjacent property owners, noted an appeal. ‘The commissioners, at the same meet- ing, passed an ordinance requiring that all main streets in subdivisions be con- structed at least 50 feet wide, and that | all lateral streets be not less than 40 feet wide. BIG FAMILY INTACT AT GOLDEN WEDDING All Children and Grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Shelton, Fredericksburg, Gather. Special Dispatch to The Star. FREDERICKSBURG, Va. December 29.—Mr. and Mrs. John B. Shelton of this city celebrated the iftieth anni- versary of their wedding Wednesaay, with a gathering of all of their nine children and all of their grandchildren. Mr. Shelton is a native of Stafford County, and his wife was from King George County. They lived in Stafford until a few years ago, when they moved to Fredericksburg. Six boys and three girls have grown to maturity, and the in-law, Clarence Mackay, this city's leading patron of the great orchestral music that is far removed from the pop- ular ditties of Berlin. ‘This news gratifies a public unable to understand how a mind attuned to Beethoven and the communication of thought around the world can care much about the issues of birth and be- lief, which are beyond anybody's control. Chronic Subway Face Dull. One of the amazing things about a subway ride from downtown to the out- skirts during the rush hour is that scarcely anybody seems to live in the intervening territory. For miles the station stops mean merely fresh acces- sions, until the walls bulge. A few pa sengers, novices on such rides, by and by begin looking around at their neigh- bors and wondering why a few of them don’t pile off, for the love of Mike. The 1est only stand stolidly wretched, unable to collapse because there isn't space, and without sny noticeable inter- hing-off place nearer oximate end of est in any pusl than the appi the line, family circle has not been broken. Mr. and Mrs. Shelton received many congratulations on attaining their golden wedding. Their children, who helped them celebrate the event, are Bernard Shelton, Cumberland, Md.; Watson V. Shelton, Washington; St. Clair D. Shelton, Alexandria; P. Evans Shelton, John C. Shelton and Gilbert ‘W. Shelton of Fredericksburg; Mrs. E. L. Downey, Mrs, Cassie Bardwell and Miss Alice Shelton of Fredericksburg. ‘These, with the grandchildren and other relatives, made a large assemblage at the Shelton home. o e U RE Fall Fractures Neck.
