26 RUBBER OFFICIAL [LLED BY PLUNGE H. L. Williamson Falls Ten Stories After Guest Leaves His Apartment. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 5—Shortly | after returning to his West Fifty-fourth | street apartment from an evening at | the theater and at a night club, Horace L. Williamson, 65, an official of the United States Rubber Co., fell from a| window on the tenth: floor 'and was | Kllled. Miss Fru Munally, his guest of the evening, was waiting for the elevator after leaving the Williamson apartment when the house superintendent told her of Williamson's body having been found in the rear yard. She told the police she had been ‘Williamson's guest at dinner and ‘that later they had attended a theater and a night club, returning to the apart- ment shortly after 11 o'clock. Wil- liamson fell to his death shortly after midnight. Police expressed the opinion that after the departure of Miss Munally, Williamson had attempted to open the window and fell when he lost his bal- ance. He was dressed in evening clothes. Identification of the body was made by N. W. Waite, also an official of the Rubber Co., who was called by the | police at the suggestion of Miss Mun- ally. He said the nearest relative he | knew was Charles Wilson, a nephew, lving at Lancaster, Pa. Williamson | end Miss Munally, he said, had been | acquainted for two and one-half yea:s. Mr. Williamson was a member of many New York clubs and at one time was an aide-de-camp to the Governor of Kentucl HEAD OF G.A.R. WOULD FAVOR FORMER FOES Commander Approves Plea for Bed- ding and Marine Band Music for Confederate Reunion. By the Assoclated Press. John Reesz of Broken Bow, Nebr., commander-in~chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, in a statement last night declared that he would not op- pose efforts of the Confederate Veterans to obtain Army bedding and the Marine Band for their annual reunion at Char- Iotte, N. C.. next June. Comdr. Reese, who arrived here yes- terdav to appear before congressional committees on Civil War pension legis- lation, said he was not in sympathy with the efforts of some veterans of the Union Army to oppose the loaning of the bedding and the Marine Band to the Confederates. “I learned that a bill is pending in Congress asking for the attendance of the Marine Band at the Confederate Veterans' reunion at Charlotte, N. C., June 4 to 7, 1929,” Comdr. Reese said. ““The bill, I understand, also would pro- vide that the Secretary of War loan bedding for use at the encampment of the Confederate veterans. This pro- posed legislation meets with my hearty approval. “While the Confederates were our enemies during the Civil War, they are now loyal American citizens and are entitled to consideration by the Federal Government for that which they have asked in this bill.” NORTH CAPITOL CITIZENS HOLD COMMUNITY FETE Association Sponsors Entertain- | ment, Including Music and Fancy Dancing, at Zleeting Last Night. ‘The North Capitol Citizens' Asso- ciation held a community celebration last night in the auditorium of the new McKinley High School, sccond and T streets northeast, when a iengthy pro- gram of entertainment was given to :eoveml hundred residents of the sec- ion.

Fraser Makes Draft Of Trade Mark for Indian-Made Goods; James Earle Praser, the artist and sculptor, has drawn for Interior De- partment officials a tentative sketch of a proposed Indian trade-mark to be used on goods made by Indians.
