MRS CUSTER TURN n 1 ¢ - PAGES OF HISTOR Anniversary of Indian Mas- sacre Finds General’s Widow Still Keen for Life. Special Dispatch to The Star. ' NEW YORK, June 25.—Gently wav- ing a pet fan that fluttered her crisp, gray curls, Mrs. Elizabeth Custer linked the past with the present yesterday as she summoned up her memories of 53 years ago -and the day that her hus- band, Gen. George A. Custer, was killed in the battle of the Little Big Horn. ‘Today is the anniversary of the mas- » sacre by the Indians that cost the lives of Gen. Custer and 207 comrades «When June 25 arrives Mrs. Custer moves ‘with a slower step among her war relics and her colonial treasures at 71 Park mvenue. The adventure and tragedy of ‘her campaigning days sweep over her and dim her eyes, which are still youth- fully blue.

She crinkled into smiles and waved her fan. “Well, I am an antique, but I do enjoy myself. Last.year I felt a little discouraged, but that has passed. You see, I have a New England conscience— the sort that makes you not serene about your work unless you are getting on with it. But I do not like to feel hurried. So much of* our time is spent nowadays rushing and hurrying. “And I had so many letters to do I dread going to my desk. The packets would be spread out before me and 1 ‘would feel that I was never coming to the end of my work.’ It is one of Mrs. Custer’s ‘graceful gestures to her husband’s memory that she answers with her own hand all of the letters she receives from old sol- diers. She had 300 in the last year, and each answer was individual and beautifully written in the slanting t of a more leisured aj “I feel I owe it to them, e said. “There are so few of them left, and old soldiers are sensitfve.

Of course, I do not bury myself in the past. I have a delightful time.” Advocates Club Life. Mrs. Custer frequents the Cosmopoli- tan Club, which is near her home.

Edward Price Bell of Chicago Originator of Plan for Meeting. Correspondent Has Long Been Interested in Relations of B_ritain and U. S. 4 BY BEN KARTMAN. (Writing in the Editor and Publuher.)‘ In the brain of an American news- paper man who for more than a quarter of a century has been a keen | observer of Anglo-American relations and a good-will envoy between the two | nations. was born the idea of a con- ference between the President of the United States and the prime minister of England, an idea which is about to become & reality, with Ramsay Mac- Donald planning to come to Washing- ton soon for a conference with Herbert Hoover. ‘The man is Edward Price Bell, vet- eran foreign correspondent, who is now in England, but will sail for the United States on June 29, arriving home July 8. Mr. Bell's dispatches fre- quently appear in The Star and the On April 1, Mr. Bell sailed for Eng- land on a mission of good-will. He went with the avowed intention of im- proving the reiations between Britain and the United States and, If possible, of finding some means of solving the ancient Anglo-American naval contro- versy. A personal conference between President Hoover and the British prime minister was one of his first proposals. His dispatches in the past several weeks have indicated the tenor of his “primary diplomacy” conversations, first with | Prime Minister Mackenzie King of | in tumn, with Stanley | Baldwin and Ramsay MacDonald, each | of whom expressed hearty approval of | the idea. | Consulted Baldwin. | Mr. Bell first approached Prime Minister Baldwin on the subject of a visit to Washington and received his cordial consent to make the visit if in- vited to do so. President Hoover was duly informed of this fact. After the Bri general election, Mr. Bell asked Ramsay MacDonald whether he would be willing to go to Washington for a conference with the President. Mr. MacDonald accepted the plan without hesitation and authorized Mr. Bell to so inform President Hoover. That in- formation went to the President at once and was in his possession at the time Gen. Charles G. Dawes was given his instruction in Washington before his ugflm for his post in London. a dispatch to the Daily News of May 6, Bell suggested a meeting such as is about to take place. “Is it not about time,” he wrote, “that a prime minister met the President of the United States? There is no crisis. The diplomatic relations between the two countries have been and are in capable and well disposed hands. But questions of immense importance con- front Great Britain and the United States. These questions have not only British-American but world bearings. They touch virtually every sea and shore on our planet. If ever the relations of peoples warranted the attention the service of primary diplomacy cer- tainly the relations of Great Britain | and the United States do. Hoover Known Slightly. “President Hoover is known slightly, but only slightly, to Prime Minister Baldwin or any other prospective Brit- ish prime minister. Mr. Hoover, in the days when he occasionally met these men, was not at all a transparent per- cool is good—always an excellent bait. I like to spend the terrible Thurs- ‘days and serious Sundays there. Cherishes Her Possessions. Mrs. Custer watches the skyscrapers climbing up around her with interest and exhilaration.

Oh, my, the theaters and the picture am not keen about seeing 1 think the world is slowly toward the ideal of peace. I have greatly interested in the sign- ing of the peace treaty and the gather- together of the representatives of the nations.” Mrs. Custer was the daughter of Judge Daniel 8. Bacon of Monroe, Mich., and led a peaceful and sheltered 1ife until she married “the boy general with the golden locks.” After that she slept where she could, drank water that in her own words “contained history” and never dared to confess to a heas ache, fatigue or depression. “It was wonderful,” she thusiasm in her voice. DE PRIEST URGES RACE TO ORGANIZE Salvation of Negro Is Laid at His Own Doorstep, Says Illinois Representative. sald, en- By the Associated Press. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., June 25.—Oscar De Priest, Representative from Chicago, last night told an_ audience of 1,500 Negroes that the Negro never would gain his political and civil rights under the Constitution until ‘he organized politically. De Priest was tendered an ovation by a throng of Negroes who met him at the train. After his talk, he was honor guest at a dinner for 50 at a Negro tea Teom. Discussing the question of social equality, De Priest said: “All that I want for the Negro is white equality before the law.” “The American white people are not to blame for the economic, social, political or civil status of the Negro,” the speaker said. “His salvation is laid at_his own doorstep.” De Priest told his audience that he was “not in Congress to put over any special legislation in behalf of the Negro.” Mayor James A, Fowler, former solicitor general for the Unitéd States, sonality. He was reserved, elusive and difficult to understand. And as Mr. Baldwin and other Britons of prime ministerial timber do not know Mr. Hoover as well as they ought to, so I am sure Mr. Hoover does not know them as ‘well as he ought to. It is my conviction, not idly formed, that before a great while after the imminent balloting in this country there will be a meeting be- tween the British prime minister and the President of the United States. “It is possible now to foretell some of the things about that meeting if it shall take place. It cannot fail to advance almost immeasurably the cause of Brit- ish-American unders! g and peace. Why? Because everybody concerned wants British-American understanding and peace. President Hoover wants them profoundly. Prime Minister Baldwin and all ot} British leaders of the first consequence want them profoundly. Moreover, on both sides exists a sense of certainty that nothing substantial, or &t any rate insuperable, stands in the way of a British-American understand- ing and peace. Conferees’ Idea. “If and when the meeting suggested shall come about, one all-comprehensive idea will occupy the conferees. It will be the idea of em the principle that in no circumstances shall a Brit- ish-American question or controversy imply as an ultimate result the arbitra- ment of war. This principle accepted and made fundamental, everything else Will be if not easy, at least not a source of tragic possibility. “That which is proposed, in other words, is simply an extension of an existing rule. Canada and the United States think of disputes and they have disputes all thc time, but they never think of war. They have outgrown that supreme ignominy* and fatuity. Their long border is disarmed—in a way the world’s most glittering symbol of the march of civilized man. “Some people in England have said, ‘You had better let this sleeping dog lie'—meaning the ‘sleeping dog’ of British-American relations. The trou- ble is that this ‘sleeping dog’ is not asleep. He may not be on his feet. He may look as if he were curled up and quite comfortable. But his eyes are wide open. He is not only awake but watching. It remains for those of the highest responsibility to put the ‘sleep- ing dog’s’ disposition right.” The political correspondent of the London - Daily Express, who has the reputation of always being behind the scenes in Downing street, regardless of what political party is in office, gave full credit for the coming conference l:.e:lvl‘veen Hoover and MacDonald to Mr. Bell Is Praised. “If this conference comes to ,” he wrote, “the world will not E;ud!e credit and praise to the three statesmen whose practical idealism and sense of world citizenship brought it about.

That man is Edward Price Bell, correspondent of the Chicago Daily News, a great journalist, a great patriot and a true lover of this country.” It was while a member of Hoover's good will party to South America that Bell learned enough about the President of the.United States to know that he would welcome a conference with the British prime minister. It was as a result of the South American trip that Bell sailed for England in April, his special mission being to do what he | could in the interest of a more sympa- | thetic understanding between the two nations. How well equipped he was for the mission is indicated by an editorial in the London Observer which com- mented on Bell's arrival in England. “Edward Price Bell of the Chicago Daily News, who for a long period, was the ~best unofficial ambassador the American people ever sent to our people, arrived some three weeks ago on a | special mission,” read the editorial. Faithful Servant of Peace. “The world’s journajism does not know a more fervent and faithful serv- ant of peace. He came to England equipped to sweep away misconception and, besides knowing the real mind of the Hoover administration, he was fresh from full conversations with the former Secretary of State, Frank B. Kellogg, and with the Canadian premier, Mac- Kenzie King.” “Mr. Bell in the columns of this journal attacked the bane of mutual suspicion,” continued the Observer. “He | staked himself upon the absolufe as- surance that & new era of better under- standing was at hand. He quoted his interview with Mr. Kellogg, former Sec- retary of State, who, referring to the British and American navies, said: ‘They will never be used against each other.’ Mr. Bell added that this S also the view of the Washington ad-| ministration and he knows what he is talking about. Mr. Bell has been no thick and thin adherent of President Hoover, but he has learned to know the real man and the more he knows him the better he likes him. In this country Mr. Hoover has been ridiculously repre- sented as an economic monster of a standardized continent and as a pas- sionless intellectual of organized ma- terialism devoted ruthlessly to the sacred egoism of commercial America, with little human feeling for other countries and less good will for our own. Interprets Policy. “Mr. Bell dispelled these misrepresen- tations. Here is what he says: “‘A genuinely friendly feeling toward Great Britain and the whole British family of nations characterizes the new administration in Washington. While Mr, Hpover wants the closest possible understanding between Great Britain and the United States, this desire in no sense implies any hostility to any other country. No one understands better than he that the prosperity of one na- tion depends upon the prosperity of others, and you may feel confident that it is his intention to work entirely in harmony with Great Britain and other countries in a true spirit of interna- tionalism.’ ” On June 5 Bell emphatically predict- ed a tripartite conference. “I make bold to advance a few steps into the domain of prophecy,” he wrote. “I see lish speaking states gathering around the table—perhaps in Washington—to define a scheme of naval relations in- suring perpetual naval peace and a colossal cut in naval armaments. These men will be the three men of this story —MacDonald, MacKenzie- King and Hoover. And back of them will be every first rate leader of their several nations, together with the overwhelming mass of the English speaking family.” Mr. Bell expects much to be accom- plished when the representatives of Great Britain and the United States sit down together to consider their prob- lems. First on the program of discus- sion, as he sees it, will be naval reduc- tion—not naval law. The former, in his opinion, is a concrete and manageable matter, whereas the principles of legal an abstract and all but baffling matter. MacDonald and Hoover, he believes, are not apt to plunge prematurely into that “dense and nearly measureless fog. is naval reduction easler to start with, but that once accomplished, it will make much ‘less difficult the problem of agreement relative to naval practice in war, “Best in London.’ Bell, whom Lord Northcliffe called “the best American newspaper man London ever had,” has been in the for- eign service of the Daily News longer than any of its other correspondents. 1900 and remained in that position until 1923, serving most of the intervening years as European director of the Daily News foreign service.

Ave. N.W, = LAST JULY FOURTH TO0K TOLL OF 239 3,000 Others Were Seriously Injured in" Celebrating Noisy Holiday. | Special Dispatch to The Star NEW YORK, June 25 (NANA). —There were 239 deaths last Fourth of July—from fireworks and resultant lock- jaw, motor car accfdents, drowning, heat and airplanes. In addition, approxi- | mately 50 deaths occurred during the week following from accidents on the Fourth. There were 3,000 serious injuries, and the minor injuries have been estimated | at_close to 30,000. Recently National Safety Council engineers made an exhaustive study of 9,000 press clippings covering Fourth of July accidents in 1928. A main cause of death was the motor accident—and in a great many of these fireworks played a part. Lighted fire- crackers were thrown at drivers, with smashups following. Several children, hurrying from lighted crackers in the streets, ran into the paths of automo- biles and were killed. A driver trying to avoid a Roman candle crashed into a car and was killed. Then there were the usual fa- talities which occur in exceptionally heavy traffic, both in the cities and in the country. Lockjaw Killed Many. Lockjaw took tragic toll—the after- math of fireworks. Erie, Pa, had eight | such cases. It is estimated that there were 25 such deaths following the Fourth, The tetanus cases were nearly all caused by blank cartridges, fire- crackers, bombs, toy pistols, sparklers, rockets and Roman candle accidents. A large percentage of the victims were children. Four babies ate sparklers. An infant of 3 was killed when a torpedo exploded in her mouth. Igni- ted clothing caused many deaths among | children. | Would-be jokesters were out in full | force. A New Jersey man placed a six- | inch lighted cracker in the mouth of a | | sleeping friend. Many were injured | | when lighted crackers were placed in | pockets or when they were thrown at | intended joke victims. Sparklers played a big part in the tragedies, mostly through the igniting of clothing. ‘There were many poisoning cases, fatal and otherwise, from spark- lers, “snake twisters,” and from ordi- nary firecrackers. ¥ The skyrocket came in for fts full share also. Toy pistols caused many serious burns and eye injuries. Pistol caps exploded in the pockets of a New York boy, with lockjaw and death re- sulting, Blank cartridges claimed many lives and caused many injuries. Promis-| cuous pistol firing with real bullets re- sulted in many fatalities and seMous | accidents. Brooklyn, N. Y., alone had | four such cases. In Reas , Pa., 20. of the 25 Fourth accidents were from blank cartridges. Homemade cannon took their usual toll, particularly the crude .gas-pipe affairs. ‘Torpedoes Took Toll. ‘Torpedoes caused many deaths, A Pennsylvania lad was killed when a| pocket full exploded as he fell from a | swing. Many cases were reported of bables eating them. An eight-year-old lad in New Jersey died from fright when a small firecrack- er was thrown in his direction.
