The will of Mr. Hubert, who died at Cannes, France, February 14, 1928, pro- vided that three-fourths of his_estate be divided among a group of religious, charitable and benevolent institutions to be selected by a committee of three prominent citizens, Mr. Coolidge, Mr. Smith and Mr. Rosenwald, chosen by trustees of the estate, began their investigations last Summer, with Mr, Coolidge as chair- man. 34 Beneficiaries Chosen. After investigating more than 500 or- ganizations they chose the 34 bene- ficiaries, divided into three classes, 15 to share in cash immediately available from the estate, 8 to share in the first $1,000,000 of unliquidated assets and 11 to share in the remaining un- liquidated assets. ‘The plan under which the money is to be distributed contemplates that more than $9,000,000 additional be raised by beneficiary organizations. ‘The distribution of $4,600,000 in avail- < |able cash is as follows: Capital Traction Company for the election of a Board of Directors for the ensuing year and the transaction of such other busi- ness as may be bjought before the meeting Fill be held at the office of the Co 36th and M Streets N.W.

Beneficiaries under this group include the Leonard Wood Memorial for the Eradication of Leprosy, Smith College, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore; Rollins College, Winter Park, Fla.

Associated Press Staft Writer. Sir Esme Howard, the British Ambas- | sador, and his wife,-Lady Isabella, are | busily preparing for retirement next | month to a comfortable town house in London, where he will bind books and she will watch over a son getting ready to enter the diplomatic service, just as | the father entered it 45 years ago. The ancient and pretentious house they occupy now, the embassy that stands on the first ground purchased by a foreign government for its envoys to | the United States, is also approaching the end of its career. Before its occupants leave it will be brilliant once more with a formal din- ner party for Americans. Another fa- mous visitor will be entertained in it, and a few more small, intimate groups will have tea for a last time within the | mellowed walls. Building Already Sold. | But with the departure the embassy will b: turned over to a wrecking crew. Already it has been sold to a real estate dealer, and a splendid new mansion is nearing readinesss for the new Ambas- sador, Sir Ronald Lindsay, and his American wife. They will come next Spring. Sir Esme and Lady Tsabella will leave ndy Isa- it _with mingled feelings. bella’s secretary said today: “They are eager to get home to be | with their four sons—sons they have cen so little, they think. But they are sorry to go away from here.” One of those sons, Edmond, is just 20 now. The one who will follow in his father’s footsteps, Hubert, is 22, and there is another still older, Francis, who already is an attorney. Henry, the youngest, is just 16 and still is attending school in | preparation for a career in the army. Hubert was born in Washington. To Live With Parents. All of the boys will live with their parents, the secretary said. That, in | fact, is why Sir Esme and Lady Isa- bella are planning to buy a house in town. They will spend their Winters | in Rome, where they were married about a quarter of a century ago. Bookbinding will not be a business, | | the secretary said, but a hobby. Sir Esme will occupy himself with it for his pleasure, at his leisure. Lady Isabella, too, retgins a youthful | vigor.

An improved and more tactically ef- ficient National Guard will be brought to & strength of 190,000 during the re- mainder of the current fiscal year. Plans for additional headquarters and units were given the House War De- partment_appropriations subcommittee by Maj. Gen. William G. Everson, chief of the Militia Bureau. Increases in strength authorized for the fiscal years 1929 and 1930, together with a number of conversions, he said, “have improved the organization and tactical efficiency of the infantry divi- sions and harbor defense troops.” “It should be noted,” Gen. Everson pointed out, “that the two increments of 1929 and 1930 have not materially increased expenditures, and it is hoped that another increment may be author- ized in 1932.” The position of the Secretary of War, that though it was “highly desirable” to make an increment for 1931, it would have to be omitted due to other in- creases in the department budget, was outlined to the committee. The National Guard program for reaching a strength of 210,000 in 1933, it was pointed out, would not be endan- gered through omission of the 1931 out- lay. YOUTHFUL CRIME IN D. C. DEPLORED Deputy U.
