A colorful, picturesque and reverent gathering at a memorial service at Mount St. Alban’s amphitheater yes- terday afternoon was appealed to by Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, to remember the ideals for which heroes of the Nation fought and died. A feature of the service was “massing | of colors” by more than 50 military | and patriotic organizations, under di- | rection of the Military Order of the ‘Yorld ‘War, which sponsored the occa- | sion. The assemblage of thousands was grouped in a picturesque setting on the | hillside below the partially completed National Cathedral. The flags, the United States emblem and standards of various participating organizations, were assembled in front of a large golden cross, on a rustic altar at the rear of the speakers’ platform, which was banked with flowers. A touching fea- ture was the presence of délegations of disabled veterans from the service hos- pitals of the city. Respect for Ideals Urged. Bishop Freeman, in his sermon, broadcast over a nationwide network by the National Broadcasting Co., de. clared, “it would be of little worth that we remember those who heroically gave their all unless we remember those ideals for which they stood. To praise their deeds is one thing: to emulate their virtues another. We must not forget in this period of prosperity those fundamental things that have made and preserved us as a mation. More important than decorating the graves of our heroes is respect and obedience for those things for which they gave their last full measure of de- votion.” The service was preceded by a con- cert by the United States Marine Band under leadership of Capt. Taylor Bran- son. ‘The band also played for the, hymns sung during the services, with Capt. Branson directing the singing. A procession from the Peace Cross to | the rustic altar marched to drum corps | music provided by the Veterans of the | Foreign Wars and Victory Post, Ameri- can Legion. Following the drum corps were contingents from_the Army, Navy, | Marine Corps and National Guard. Next in line were the veteran organiza- tions in order of the dates of their or- ganization. These were followed by pa- triotic organizations, after which came junior organizations, including De Molay High School Cadets and Girl and Boy Scouts. The Army, Navy, Marine Corps and District of Columbia National Guard each furntshed four armed men as a combined color guard. ‘The service, conducted by Very Rev. G. C. F. Bratenahl, Dean of Washing- ton, assisted by Rev. Arlington A. Mc- Callum, chaplain of the local unit of the Military Order of the World War, and Chaplain J. Knox Bodel, was open- ed with the singing of the hymn “The Son of God Goes Forth to War,” fol- lowed by prayers for the President, the country and the flag. The congrega- tion, accompanied by the band, joined | in singing Kipling’s “Recessional,” each verse ending with the familiar “Lest we forget, lest we forget.” Prayer was offered by Bishop Freeman. “Taps” were sounded by Sergt. Frank ‘Witchey, headquarters Troop 3, United States Cavalry, who performed this| service at the burial of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington in November, 1921. “Taps” was followed by a moment of silence, broken by the strains of “The Star Spangled Banner,” played by the Marine Band. “Cheap Patriotism” Assailed. Bishop Freeman in his sermon scorned “cheap patriotism” and urged more consideration of the fundamental | principles on which the fabric of the Republic was built. The wrong kind of patriotism, Bisho Freeman pointed out, was groply selfis and unworthy. “It is the patriotism that holds itself immune to obedience | to the law and wantonly sets aside any authority that conflicts with its own| self accord.” he said. | ‘The committee in charge of arrange- | ments for the service included: Maj. | Gen. Creed C. Hammond, commander of the District of Columbia_Chapter of the Military Order of the World War; Capt. George F. Unmacht, senior vice commander, chairman; Capt. R. W, | Schumann, U. 8.

GYEAR-OLD SLAYER MAINTAINS SILENCE Killed Playmate, Says Boy Claimed Accident. By the Associated Press. PAINTSVILLE, Ky, May 27.—Carl Newton Mahan, 6!;-year-old lad, who killed his playmate, Cecil Van Hoose, 8, following a quarrel, has not mentioned | the shooting -since about 30 minutes after it occurred, his father, John Ma- han, said yesterday. “Carl has not talked to me about the shooting.” said Mahan, “since I talked to him about 30 minutes after the trouble, and then told me he did not know the gun had a shell in it, that he only wanted to scare Cecil and that if he had known it was loaded he would have taken the shell out.” The Mahan lad evidently is un- affected by the dozens of reporters and photographers who have interviewed him and taken his picture. Carl does not go to Sunday school and never has been to a picture show. his father said. His family does not attend a church. Carl is to attend school in Septenfber if everything goes well, his parents de- clare. “Carl wants to be a mechanic,” said Mr. Mahan. “See that old Ford in the back yard? He has about taken all of the pieces out of it and he puts in most of his time working on it. I really believe he will make a good me- chanic.” The photographers are great friends of Carl’s, for they give him money to put in his bank. "The lad was given & 15-year reformatory sentence by a county judge following his conviction by a jury, but the Circuit Court grant\l a writ of prohibition, from which the county judge appealed. The appeal is pending. Fur Garments’ Vogue Helps Farmer The demand for jack rabbit skins for the manufacture of women's gar- ments is & godsend for the farmers of the South and West, for on the farms the animals are a pest and their vo- racious appetites make them a very ex- pensive proposition. These animals in- habit almost all of the territory west of the Mississippi River and cause each year considerable loss in farm crops, alfalfa, grain, range grasses and bush and shrub fruits. In the Southwest they destroy cotton plants, while in or- chirds they girdle the trees by eating of the bark when food is scarce in Winter. Banker Who Served Term in Prison May Be on Penal Board Philadelphian Put In- mates to Work During 3-Year Stay in Cell. By the Assoclated Press. PHILADELPHIA, May 27. — The Philadelphia Record said today it had learned from an authoritative source that Henry G. Brock, socially promi- nent banker, who served three years in the Eastern Penitentiary, would be named a member of the Board of Pris- on_inspectors. The appointment, it was stated, would be made by the board of prison judges on June 4 and, according to the paper, is certain to be accepted. Selection of a former .inmate of the prison as a member of the Board of Inspectors is without local precedent. In 1923 Brock was charged with hav- ing_killed three persons, two women and a boy, with an automobile. It was belleved generally that a woman was driving the car at the time of the ac- cident, but Brock, refusing to divulge the name of his companion, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 6 to 10 years. He was characterized as a model prisoner from the beginning of his term. His interest in the welfare of the other prisoners changed their view- point within a fortnight, and they sought his friendship and accepted his advice. Brock saw that hundreds of men were wasting their lives away in idle- ness and brooding over their misfor- tune. His wealth enabled him to pur- chase tools and machinery. He set an example of industry, and soon _the “spirit of Brock” was noted throughout the prison. Even after he was pardoned in 1926 Brock did not forget those he had left behind, and he has done much to make prison_life better.

The term “yard” is one handed down by tradition ‘at Georgetown, meaning the campus and athletic field. Mooney succeeds Richard K. Charlesworth .of New York as Yard president.

At the annual farewell banquet of the university last night Rev. Vincent S. McDonough, S.
