Then the French fleet, under Admiral De Grasse, came over and Washington used this great sea power to cut off Lerd Corn- wallis at Yorktown. De Grasse drove back the British fleet and Yorktown surrendered. During the program an oak trans- planted from Mount Vernon and his- torical data gathered by the local so-| ciety will be presented to the National Society. _S. S. Wiliamson, president of the District of Columbia Society, S. A. R.. will make the presentation to | F. 'W. Millspaugh of Nashville, presi- | dent general of the National Society. Shortly afterward Dr. R. J. C. Dorsey | will speak and Fred Bast will sing a baritone solo. | Tablet to Be Unveiled. Unveiling of a bronze tablet marking the occaston wiil conclude the program. Before the unveiling, however, John Paul Earnest wili place a copper box containing historical data in the con- crete base that will support the tablet. The base will then be sealed and Brig Gen. William E. Horton. & charter member of the society, will unveil the tablet. The aid of the French at the battle of Yorktown will be commemorated in Paris October 19 by a group represent- ing the Daughters of the American Revolution. what President Hoover recently termed “a splendid gesture of apprecia- tion certain to promote an historic international friendship,” the group will dedicate a tablet bearing names of Frenchmen who were killed at York- town. The group will sail on October 4, and the dedication will be held on the 151st anniversary of the battle. The ceremonies will have the official recognition of the French government. Members of Committee. Mrs. David D. Caldwell of this city, vice president general of the D. A. R. and chairman_ of the Commitee on Arrangements for the D. A. R. Paris ilgrimage, will represent Mrs. Russell illiam Magna, president general. Other members of the committee are Mrs. John M.

Morris of Washington and Minne- apolis, who has just been made a chevalier of the Legion of Honor for her distinguished service. It was through the efforts of Mrs. Morris, while chairman of the D. A. R. Com- mittee on Preservation of Historic Spots, that Yorktown was approved as a na- tional park rather than becoming an amusement park. As chairman of the Yorktown Sesquicentennial Committee last year Mrs. Morris, through research in America and abroad, gathered the names of all American and French sol- diers who lost their lives at Yorktown. Tablets bearing these names were placed at the base of the Yorktown monument last Fall.

Jenney said yesterday he had received a copy of a Federal indictment returned in Wichita, Kans., charging three Boston men with transportation of an inferior Jamaica ginger in violation of the National pro- hibition laws, The three men whose arrest was asked in connection’ with the Govern- ment's search for the originators of the Jamaica ginger which caused death and paralysis of many persons in the Midwest three years ago are Max Reis- man, Austin E.

Graham, president of the Com- munity Chest, yesterday urged the people of Washington not to forget the importance of the work of the char- acter-building organizations of the Chest during this period of depmslon" and unemployment. | Although declaring the needs of wel- fare and relief organizations have reached a point unprecedented in the | history of the city, he pointed out th: the future of the Nation's Capital will be jeopardized unless the character- building enterprises are enabled to | furnish the lesiure-time activities that | build morale, health and citizenship. Idle Hands a Menace. | “The old saying that ‘man does not | live by bread alone’ was never more true than in the present crisis,” Graham said. “Unless the idle men and | women have some place to which they can turn for recreation and companion- ship, without cost: unless our boys and girls have the advantages of our play- | grounds, settlement houses, and other | character-building facilities; unless the underprivileged boys can have access boys' clubs which fight against delinquency and crime; unless, in short, our character-buildime organizations are | kept open and adequatdly supported, we are going to have a vast army of men, | women and children equipped with ‘idle hands,” for which a certain gentle- man is popularly supposed to be always ready to provide something to do. “The Capital City of the greatest Nation in the world ‘is in our keeping. We of the present time and generation take a just pride in its beauty and op- portunities, but we of the present gen- eration are mortal and must pass on and the future of what I believe is | destined to be the greateset city in the | world will be in the hands of the chil- dren of today, city tomorrow. Building .Future. Today. “The kind of men and women that will control the Capital in the future depends upon the kind of boys and girls that_are developed today. and in this | development the character-building or- | ganizations of the Community Chest, | whether supported in.whole or only in part by Chest funds, play a most im- | portant part. | “We are approaching another Com- | munity Chest campaign. We are facing | a welfare and relief situation that is in itself a clarion call to the citizens. of Washington to strain their resources to the utmost to provide for their fellow men. But even in the face of this sit- uation we must remember that the ul- timate object of adequate aid is to re- store the applicant for such aid to a status of self-respecting, self-supporting citizenship, and“this can only be ac- complished by the support of the en- | tire social work program embraced in | the 65 organizations of the Community | Chest, and in which the character- building organiztions play a most im- | portant_part.” ‘The Community Chest in its cam- paign of November 11-23, inclusive, wiil | be taking part in & national movement | to meet the needs of relief and charac- | ter building. { who will control , the GETS 3 YEARS IN ATTACK Man Accused in Evarts Shooting Found Guilty in Harlan, Ky.

FLORIDA CITIZENS SEEK SOLUTION OF SLAYING Offer to Pay Part of Exhumation Costs in One of Two Mysteri- ous Deaths. By the Associated Press. LAKELAND, Fla. September 24— State’s Attorney J. C. Rogers yesterday announced Florida citizens would pay $200 of the $350 estimated cost of ex- humation of the body of Willard Dun- can in Milwaukee in an effort to solve |the slaying of Joseph Beal, former mayor of Lake Wales. Milwaukee authorities yesterday re- fused to order a second exhumation of Drncan’s body and said the first au- topsy had been adequate. No poison was found in the body, but Lake Wales officials asked 1w‘rna senrv‘:gl for other ns, not sought previously. pog:fl, a business associate of Emmett Donnelly, former Milwaukee man, was shot from ambush at his home at Lake Wales last June. Donnelly was arrested and charged with being an accessory and released on bond. Donnelly also was a former partner of Duncan and was named a beneficiary in Duncan's will.

Tnereased rates on parcel post mail become: effective October 1. ‘The new rates are estimated to raise $7,500,000 annually, and in connection with the change the Post Office De- partment yesterday called attention to the basic charges to be applied. ‘The rates inaugurate an innovetion, in that for some zones they charge a fraction .of a cent. The schedule follows: First and second zones, 8 cents for the first pound or fraction of a pound and 1.1 cent for each additional pound or fraction; third zone, 9 cents and 2 cents, respectivel; fourth zone, 10 cents and 3.5 cents; fifth zone, 11 cents and 53 cents; sixth zone, 12 cents and 7 cents; seventh zone, 14 cents and 9 cents, and eighth zone, 15 cents and 11 cents. Rural Rates Announced. The postage of parcels mailed on rural routes for local delivery will be 2| cents less than these rates and 3 cents less than for other than local delivery. Parcels weighing up to 70 ds and es large as 100 inches in length and girth combined will be accepted. The zones are: First, up to 50 miles from any given point: second, 50 to 150 miles: third, 150 to 300 miles; fourth, 300 to 600 miles; fifth, 600 to | 1,000 miles; sixth, 1,000 to 1,400 miles; | seventh, 1,400 to 1,800 miles, and eighth, In excess of 1,800 miles. | The new rates, over which the Inter- state Commerce Commissicn has juris- diction, were granted last February, and delay in putting them into effect was to allow large mailers time to change their catalogues, price lists and other literature. Hope to Cut Loss. Figures compiled by the Postal De- partment on the receipts for the fiscal year 1930 showed parcel post was being handled at an annual loss of approxi- mately .$15,000,000, and the new rates are designed to cut this in half. The figures showed, according to the department, that while there was a material loss on parcels carried in the first three zones, those going further were handled at a profit, and the hew | schedule is designed to equalize the | rates and make the charges more nearly i:_ommensunte with the cost of hand- ing. ‘There is no change in the rates on | reels for local delivery. The increase mounts to not more than 2 cents for | the first and second zones and 1 cent | P al FARMERS 0 FLOGK HERE N DECEMBER At Least 500 Will Present Plea for Debt Holiday to Congress. Lem Harris, executive secretary of the Parmers' National Conference, an outgrowth of the agricultural holiday movement in the Midwest, said in & statement issued yesterday that at least 500 farmers will assemble here in De- cember to demand of Congress & mora- torium on their debts. Harris said caravans bringing dis- gruntled tillers of the soil have been called to start their march to the Capi- tal in time to arrive here with the convening of Congress. Harris emphasized, however, that they will come only as accredited dele- tes for a conference extending from cember 7 to 10 and then will depart. Differs From B. E. F. ‘While the conference will be organ- ized on a different plan from the B. E. F. it promises in some r to be as spectacular as the ex] of the bonus army to Washington. Efforts are being made to have an army of hundreds of farmers from a number of States descend on the Capi- tal by truck. Foremost in the list of the demands of the farmers is the have well fitting, easy to make, fashionable garments at small cost. 10-lesson course without additional cost with this Domeatic debts, -pechlfy farm ges, a halting of evictions. ‘The conference in Washington was Jrohitad At 8 muetine o Soux OO 5 . when Ppresented to a group of e West- ern Governors.

Accredited delegates may be elected by local meetings of farmers, with one delegate for 25 or more farm- ers at such meetings. Meetings Planned. Harris predicted the delegates as- sembling here would represent all the leading agricultural sections. He said that on the way across the country they would hold meetings and receive tings and recommendations of the larm df:mm through which they pass. Friendly farmers are expected to fur- nish food and quarters. On the way back more mestings will be held to an- nounce the farmers’ program.

LONDON,; September 24.—The belief is growing here that the Libarel ministers of the national cabinet, head- ed by Bir Herbert Samuel, the home secretary, planned to resign soon as a protest against the tariff agreements of the Ottawa Imperial Conference. This impression was given wider credence after the liberals made a re- port registering their antagonism to the Ottawa measures. Sir Herbert has announced, however, that he does not intend to make his position known until after the cabinet meeting of September 28, when the Ottawa pacts will come up for detailed discussion. From the Liberal standpoint two ele- ments were understood to be particu- larlys obnoxious in the Ottawa pact. The first of those is the relative perman- emce, that is for five years, of the pro- for the third zone on parcels weighing | from 1 to 10 pounds; on parcels weigh- ing 11 to 20 pounds in these zones the | ’ Electric increases in the first and second zones | will not exceed 3 cents and in the third | Round Bobbin zone will only be 1 cent, according to A - 'l Sewing Machine the department. On parcels going be- yond tire third zone the increase will not exceed 2 cents, being applicable only to those weighing less than 5 pounds. On parcels weighing more than this the rates will in most in- stances be reduced. RS R W. C. T. U. to Meet Thursday.
