September 5.—Two men are dead tonight and a third is under arrest on a charge of murder as the result of a shooting aboard a Jaunch in Warsaw Sound, near here, today. Police charged R. F. Weston, 53, with firing the shot that killed Joseph Kent, 41, and Willlam T. Strickland, 45. They said Weston claimed self-defense. A shotgun charge shattered Strickland's right leg at the knee and struck Kent in the right shoulder. Kent died im- mediately, but Strickland lived four hours. Officers were told the trouble started when Weston found a small boat they had been towing adrift and accused Kent and Strickland of cutting it loose. A fight and the shooting followed, po- lice said. . 8t.

CONVENTION NEAR Shorter Day and Week Among 300 Resolutions Before Seattle Meeting. —_ With resolutions proposing a five-day week of six-hour days for government workers, together with improved pay, stated promotion intervals and stand- ardized annual and sick leave, ready for submission, the National Federation of Federal Employes was prepared last night to assemble Monday for its elev- enth biennial convention at Seattle, Wish. Spain’s Most Famous Woman THE PROPOSAL TO ERECT A STATUE TO QUEEN ISABELLA OF SPAIN RECALLS HER MYSTERIOUS AND ROMANTIC CHARACTER. According to word received here, | delegates from all parts of the United States and its insular possessions are pouring into Seattle over the week-end for the meeting, which will be presided over by President Luther Steward. At an Executive Council meeting to- |dny reports of organization progress were to be heard and last-minute a rangements for the convention com- pleted. President Steward expressed himself well pleased with the general development of the Federation over the past two yars and forecast “the most successful convention in the history of organized Federal employes.” Resolutions Summarized A summary of the more important of the 300 resolutions to be presented to the convention follows: “Improved salaries; to be gained through the adoption of a salary sched- ule in the classification act providing for a minimum rate of $1,500 per annum for all full-time adult workers, and cor- responding increases for positions re- quiring greater degrees of skill and ex- perience. “Shorter work day and shorter work week: specifically the five-day week and the six-hour day. “Stated promotion intervals and ex- tention of the merit system. “Standardized annual and sick leave, with one day's rest in seven and extra pay for night work and overtime. “Allowances for transportation when transfers are ordered. “Institution of proper efficiency meth- ods. “Extension of classification to fleld workers. “Provision, by executive order, for a central agency to administer all per- sonnel matters “The National Federation,” according to a statement reccived here last might from the organization, “in the past has approved all the above points with the | exception of the six-hour day and the five-day week proposal. The latter this year will come before the convention for the first time, and widespread inter- est has been aroused in the conven- tion’s probable attitude, No Added Cost. “The drafters of the several resolu- tions calling for a shorter working day and week point out that the Govern- ment should take the lead in establish- ing a schedule which ‘will do much toward relieving the present acute un- employment situation.’ According to the sponsors of the resolutions, it would be possible for the Government to put such a schedule into effect with- cut added cost ” On Monday afternoon President Steward will deliver his biennial report, one of the highlights of the convention, and Miss Gertrude M. McNally, secre- tarv-treasurer, will submit her report. ricpresentative Frederick R. Lehlbach of New Jersey, chairman of the House Civil Service Committee, will address the convention during the course of the week. Willam H. McReynolds, direc- tor of the Personnel Classification Board, who was to have spoken, was suddenly recalled to Washington from San Francisco on official business. Indications are that well over 200 delegates will attend the convention. A trip_across Puget Sound to Vietoria, capital of British Columbia, will be made Tuesday, the voyage being ex- pected to consume the greater part of the day. with meetings scheduled to be held aboard ship.

HE recently announced plan for the erection in Washington of a monument to the memory of Queen Isabella of Spain, recalls to public attention one of the most_romantic and mysterious charac- ters m medieval history. Certainly the most widely famous Spanish woman who ever lived, Isa- bella was concerned in a series of the most drastically important events in human annals. As the wife of King Ferdinand of Aragon, she was one of the founders of the Spanish nation and one of the principal promoters of Christian unity in the Iberlan peninsula. She was also | a prime mover in the long campaign to expel the Moors from Europe. Again she was one of the forces which ac- complished the limitation of the Refor- mation, for her favor made possible the establishment of the Inquisition which had such a profound effect on the cultural progress of all the Span- ish-speaking peoples. Finally she is in- delibly related to the legend of Chris- topher Columbus and the discovery or rediscovery of the Western world. Influence Long After Death. She appeared at one of the great psychological moments in human af- | fairs, and her influence, for good or ill was active long after her death. Many events which at first glance seem to be totally devoid of any connection with her name really trace back to one or other of the central motives of her career. And yet—and it is here that the el ment 6f mystery appears in the case— it is only with the greatest difficulty that historians are able to sift out from the story of her time the words anc deeds for which she and she alone wa: responsible. She was one of a group of persons {of superior ability who undertook f |long series of social reforms. It is not {easy to discover to what extent any one of these schemes was her own per- | sonal conception. She was, theoretical- ly, an independent sovereign, and somc writers have presumed that all she did and said originated in her own brain. Husband Was Egotist. But her husband was “one of the most thorcugh egotists that ever sat upon a throne.” a man who brooked little opposition, and it seems likcly that Isabella deferred to him on occa- sfon and that 'n consequence she some- times found herself rather led than leading. For example, some historians insist that the Inquisition was Ferdi- nand's idea. and that Isabella was.re- luctantly persuaded to agree to its in- stitution, while other historians with no less valid claims to authoritative position contend that the suggestion came in the first instance from Isabella | and that it was Ferdinand who was co- | erced. Possibly it was neither the King nor the Queen who originally raised the issue, but rather the cruel Cardinal Tomas de Torquemada, who certainly was the first administrator of the hor- rible engine of destruction when it was organized and set in motipn (1482- 1498). Or it may have been Pope Sixtus IV, who as early as 1478 au- thorized the plan. There are those who, believing the Inquisition a benefi- cent device, claim the credit for each| of the four. There are others who, | just as ardently convinced of its tragic failure, deny for each responsibility for | its crimes. It is exceedingly difficult to | know to what degree Isabella was to | blame for a decision which has inflicted | an eternal blemish on her record. For | the sake of womankind in general, | modern opinion would wish to acquit | her of participation in the horror. ‘The expulsion of the Moors and the even more heartless persecution of the League, 349 Maryland avi 'ORNAMENT found. .

One of these ghostly ad- visers appears to have been a Kkindly man, normally not given to violent measures. This was Fra Fernando de Talavera, who became Archbishop of Granada in 1492. He was a priest of saintly life and high humane ideals, and if we are to judge by his poli toward the Moors he must have be-n guiltless of all instinct toward persec tion. Another coupselor was the fa- mous Cardinal Ximenes de Cisneros, originally & humble Franciscan monk supposedly exempt from worldly ambi- tion, but after 1495 Archbishop of Toledo, primate of Spain. chancellor of Castile and grand inquisitor of Cas- tile and Leon, a man of stern and rigorous character. an ascetic, a lawyer and a .ruthless soldier, who in politi- cal matters was an inflexible dictator and in religious affairs a radical fa atic. It is to his interference that the | Queen’s” cruel policy toward the con- quered Moors of Granada is in part justly attributed. He was directly re- sponsible for a long list of executions Still a third adviser was Cardinal Pedro Gonzalez de Mendoza, Ximenes' | predecessor as Archbishop of Toledo. He was a middle-of-the-road man who thought to accomplish the religious regimentation of Spain by education Guided by Priests. All of these and & number of other priests were active at Isabella’s court Her biographers frankly admit that she was gulded by them. In the er- rors of her reign they had some part. Of that there can be no question But to what degree she decided f¢ herself in the various problems with which she had to deal it is almost im possible to say. Whether they co trolled her government entirely or only partly is a problem which simply can- not be solved. On the one extreme Isabella was a dictator; on the other she was a figurehead. Probably s was neither and yet both. It would depend upon the circumstances of each separate occasion. What is certain is this: ‘That 8.800 persons suffered death at the stoke in Spain during ler reign. ‘The conscience of manl hesitates to hold her solely respon: ble for these martyrdoms. But the alternative is to blame the church and that, too. is a decision against which human instinct revolts. Perhaps it is fair to say that it was a system that was operative in the case, not indi- 4 vidual or even institutional bigotry. Did Not Pawn Jewels. It is pleasant to turn to the story of Cdlumbus and the familiar anecdote of the navigator's appeal to the Queen for ald for his great expedition into_ the unknown Ocean Sea. But even here there are problems. According to the legend of our school books, Isabella was so enthusiastic for the enterprise pro- | posed by the Genoese that she pledged her jewels to defray the expense of his first voyage. Unfortunately this is a tradition that seems totally without foundation in fact. The Queen did not pawn her ornaments for Columbus. ‘The actual source of the money is still a subject of debate. | In the judgment of some writers it was extorted from Jewish money-lenders. Others say it was provided by the town of Palos, the community being com- manded to furnish ships and men, as well as supplies for the expedition, as a punishment for some unknown breach of the law. Still others hold that the, funds were furnished privately by the Pinzon family, a clan of hardy sailors, several of whom accompanied Colum- bus and later were defrauded by both the admiral and the crown. The total amount of money used for the initial voyage was not much if any more than $6,000. Not one penny came from Isa- bella_ personally. Had Friends at Court. But the Queen certainly gave her sanction to the proposals submitted by Columbus. In so doing she was guided by several of those who were at the time her official and unofficial coun- selors. She did not act alone. The idea that the poor Genoese had nn powerful friends at her court is mis- leading. On the contrary, historians agree that he was aided by the most important ecclesiastical and civil ad- visers who had access to the sovereigns. These included Mendoza, the Duke of Medina-Celi. Luis de St. Angel, Alonzo de Quintanillp, Alexandria and Antonio Geraldini, Fray Juan Perez, the Marchioness of Moya and others, all valuable to the admiral as intercessors with the Queen. When later Columbus lost favor at court the fault was his own. He had insisted on terms commonly considered exorbitant and had made promises im- possible to fulfill. Nowhere does the Queen appear to greater advantage than in the story to the effect that she indignantly protested against Colum- bus’ scheme for enslaving the Indians as a means of paying the expenses of his explorations. Private Life Sad. ‘The Queen's private life was sad. She came of unfortunate stock, and through one generation after another the same evil traits appear. She was the mother of the sterile Queen Cath- erine, the unhappy first wife of King Henry VIII of England. Another daughter, Joan, heiress to her throne, went insane. Her son John died in his youth. Her granddaughter, Mary Tudor, was the cruel Queen of England whose death was greeted with hysterical glee by the people to whom she was a “bloody” tyrant. Her grandson, Charles V, was & morbid bigot who left Spain to his son, Philip II, who accomplished | odd jobs to keep him busy every day. MAY LOSE REFUGE Orphan Asylum, Abandoned, Where Seven Make Home, Probably Will Be Sold. Mary and Lewis Downey, whose 300- mile tramp from Clifton Forge, Va., ended at Cottage City, Md.,, where they and their five children found refuge in an abandoned orphan asylum, may be made homeless again. ‘The dilapidated building in which they have lived for the last 10 days probably will be disposed of within the next two months or so, according to Arthur C. Keefer, attorney for the New York corporation which holds the first mortgage on the property. Foreclosure papers already have been drawn, Keefer, who lives in Mount Rainier, Md., said last night, and pro- ceedings: probably will be instituted soon. A second mortgage also stands against the old structure, he added. Many Gifts Received. Meanwhile, the Downeys, who hauled their youngsters to Cottage City in a homemade cart, have received numerous gifts of money, food, clothes and fur- niture as a result of a description of their plight published in The Star. Altogether, the Downeys have re- ceived about $15, shoes and clothes for every member of the family and enough furniture to make the three rooms they have taken possession of livable. ‘They now have a cook stove, a table, several beds, cooking utensils, dishes and more food than they have seen for months. And. what is even more im- portant, Downey, who is 50 and subject tc epileptic fits, has been given enough Hopes to Earn Rent Cost. “What I want to do,” he sald, “is make enough money to rent a little place of our own.
