MOTHER JONES, 100, FORGIVES ENEMIES Rockefeller Telegram Brings Peace to Hard-Fighting Labor Leader. Mother Jones forgives even the Rocke- fellers—father and son—but she never forgets. Peace that ended a 16-year hatred of the Rockefeller family was made yes- terday when the militant labor leader sent & friendly reply to a telegram of congratulations to her on attail her ll)tr)'g birthday from John D. Rocke- feller, jr. The message to the son of her bit- terest foe, dictated from bed, follows: “Your good wishes and hopes for con- tinued long life on my 100th birthday was a happy surprise and messages most _appreciated by me. Knowing all the mgcnllbflmu on your shoulders, it was & human act to think kindly of me at this time, and your message was the expression of & Chris- tian heart.” Not First Overture. ‘The message from Rockefeller, & 50- word telegram received Friday morning, was not the first peace overture from the Rockefeller family to Mother Jones, she revealed, but in the mellowed years of a century of life, the ring of sin- cerity in it touched a responsive chord in the old labor leader's heart. “Yes, I forgive them,” she said, “but 1 don't forget.” ‘The pale blue eyes snapped something of their old defiance. “Why, John D. Rockefeller had me put in jail—" She tried to estimate the number of her jail sentences to which she credits the Rockefellers. It was too much for even her remarkable memory. ‘The message from John D, jr., which came as a great surprise to Mother Jones, read: “Please accept my heartiest congratu- lations on_your 100th birthday anni- versary. Your loyalty to your ideals, your fearless adherence to your duty as you have seen it, are an inspiration to all who have known you. May you bave continued health and happiness as long as life lasts.” Mother Jones was plainly affected by the solicitude of Mr. Rockefeller, to ‘whom she attributes past troubles along with his father. Refused Invitation. “Several years ago in New York John D. Rockefeller, jr., invited me to his home to dinner,” she said. * wouldn't go because people would have said I had sold out the workers.” But she viewed it all philosophically. “Like all rich men, fighting for their interests, they saw their duty differ- ently,” she said. “Mr. Rockefeller has a Christian heart, they always said that, and his message to me shows it is still beat- ing,” she said. “No, I can't tell hi that the past is buried, and we are friends again, but I do want him to know I appreciate his message as much 8s any I received.” Mother Jones' dislike of all things Rockefeller was climaxed when in 1014 rds on duty at a Rockefeller mine Ludlow, Colo., fired a group of strikers and their families, killing 21 women and children and 12 men. As s result of her agitation against the Rockefeller interests, whom she held responsible for the killings, Mother Jones was jailed. She spent nine weeks behind bars. Her hatred for the fam- fly survived through the years, and since the rejected dinner offer a few years ago the message from the junior Rockefeller was the first overture of Ppeace made by either side. ‘When she dictated her reply Mother Jones was resting in bed after the ex- citement of her birthday celebration May 1. But the household of Mr. and Mrs. Walter E. Burgess, where she is living in the nearby Maryland hills, was far from serene yesterday. The effects of the Rockefeller telegram were still evident and messages from friends 1| Capital and carty on his task of beau- noon at the Anacostia Naval Al mile power dive straight down with the tary secrets be revealed.

Apparently Smothered by Tasks, He Willingly Takes on New Responsibilities. BY WILLIAM A. MILLEN. What manner of man is Lieut. Col. ol S. Grant, 3d, director of public buildings and public' parks, who has turned down an offer of $25,000 to be- come city manager of Cincinnati, Ohio, preferring to remain in the National tifying Washington on the salary of an Army officer? He is not so much interested in the beautification of Washington as he is in avoiding the mistakes that might mar its beauty. His is a preventive job, a corrective process. Col. Grant thinks that if suitable sites can be picked for the great {mbuc bulldings and sufficient land be aliocated to surround them, the | architects and the artists, under guid- ance of the National Commission of | Fine Arts, can be trusted to do their part. Has Valuable Background. Col. Grant is old-fashioned enough to be an admirer of Ruskin, yet advanced enough to recommend the installation of the latest and most modern devices for carrying on affairs of government. | He has had an excellent bacl und for knowing at first-hand just what a city | beautiful should be like, for he went to school in Vienna, one of the most rle- turesque of European cities, for four years and for a year after the World War, while the Peace Conference was in session, he lived in Paris. In addi- tion, he has visited many other Eu- ropean cities, and has studied them up with the trained eye of an engineer with a penchant for beauty. Tllustrative of the corrective process that his post as an administrative offi- cer calls for, Col. Grant pointed out that in the original plans for the Arlington Memorial Bridge it was pro- posed to connect this pretentious struc- ture with the Lincoln Memorial Plaza, and labor leaders from all over the country are still arriving in a steady Stream, Greene Sends Congratulations. From William Greene, sident of the American Federation Labor, this message was received: “I e congratulations on your 100th birth- experiences and the fumerable friends.” Mother Jones wants to live, she says, until Senator Willlam E. Borah of Idaho becomes President of the United States. “There’s a man for you,” she said. “He would make the world understand what the real American spirit is today. Give him eight years in the White ¥ouse and he would see that every man and woman has employment.” Mother Jones yesterday also received the following message from Senator H. D. Hatfleld, former Governor of West Virginia, where the scenes of some of her most famous labor activities were laid. “Greetings from the ex-governor of AWest, Virginia.

After coming through 15 turns of a right-hand spin and 14 turns of a left- hand spin, followed by a screeching vertical power dive of 10,000 feet, or nearly 2 miles, the Navy's first two- seater fighting plane, an innovation in_ American military planes, success- fully completed the first phase of a series of right flight tests yesterday afternoon at Anacostia Naval Air Sta- tion. Since the beginning of naval avia- tion, all fighters, which correspond to the Army pursuit plane, have been sin- gle seaters, carrying guns pointing only to the front and vulnerable to attack from rear. The two seater now beginning its tests carries not only for- ward guns but rear guns, operated by a gunner who also may act as second llot in case the pllot is injured or in action. ‘Yesterda flights were demonstra- tions by the civilian test pilot for the Curtiss Aeroplane & Motor Co., manu- prior to the beginning of official flight taun‘vby Navy test pilots. The civilian pilot, William J. Crosswell, put the plane into a power dive, nose straight down and motor wide open, at an altitude of 17,000 feet and contin- ued straight down nearly 2 miles be- fore pulling out at 7,000 feet. It was a test of this sort with a prede- cessor of the new plane which nearly cost the life of James Collins, Curtiss test pilot, nearly two years ago at Ana- costia. Collins pulled the wings off his plane, was stunned momentarily by a portion of the broken material and escaped with his parachute only a few seconds before the fuselage plunged deep into the ground. The new plane bears the picturesque name of “Hell Diver.” Details con- cerning speed, rate of climb, ceiling and other performance characteristics are withheld as military secrets. ‘The Army Air Corps has ordered an experimentai two-seater pursuit plane, which now is under construction at the Berliner-Joyce plant in Baltimore.

Plans for “more wholesome intercol- legiate competition” among the schools of higher education of the District of Colum:y!l, as proposed to the ence Arthur 8. Flemming, facull adviser of the American Eagle, 'Iz referred by vote of the group for study and consideration at the Fall meeting, to be held in October at Catholic '.'nf- versity. Flemming suggested, among other things, that the editors of the college papers adopt a procedure for intercollegiate co-operation in case “any unpleasantness” arose in the future, so that the editors could work toward “smoothing out the difficulty, rather than ruffiing it up.” Bicentennial Plans Indersed. The conference also indorsed plans for the Washington bicentennial, and adopted a resolution that “the faculty and editors can best co-operate throu the friendly advice of the former, rather than through strict suj . which implies a greater or less degree of distrust and irresponsibility.” “Hence the conference believes,” said the resolution, “that publications should maintain a tion as a student enterprise, yet seeking upon occasion the advice of more mature ju ent."” Stressing the increasing lication of economic facts in journalism today, David Lawrence, editor of the United States Daily, told the conference that journalism was not the only outlet for training in newspaper work, as “more men have gone from the n per | business into the busines world than are now in a newspaper occupation.” Dr. Lucius C. Clark, chancellor of American University, urged the student editors toward greater accuracy, and nted a general background of po- itical science and economics as funda- mental training for journalism.

Dr. George B, Woods, dean of the College of Liberal Arts of n University, in welcoming the conference to the campus said: “I do not look upon a college paper as an instrument for the dissemination of student opinion.
