NATIVES PICNIC ATBAY RIDGE, MD. Historic Places of Interest in Annapolis Visited by D. C. Party. Historic places of interest in An- napolis were inspected at length by members of the Society of Natives of the District en route ‘0 Bay Ridge, Md., on their picnic-outing yester- day. Two bus loads of natives and their guests were conducted on a tour by the Annapolis Chamber of Commerce, taking in the Capitol Building, the Hall of Records, Naval Academy and other sights in the city. In the old Senate chamber of the Btate House the party joined in the salute to the flag and sung “Amer- jca” under leacership of Henry Hard- ing Burroughs, society president, who then extended welcome to guests and friends of the society. Senate Chamber History. Jesse C. Suter, honorary president of the organization, described the his- tory of the Senate chamber, explain- ing it was within its walls that the act creating Annapolis as the seat of government of the United States | was formulatea. Suter also recalled the Peggy Stew- art incident, when the vessel of that name was burned with its cargo of more than a ton of tea—an expres- sion of the Maryland citizens’ feel- ing against taxation without repre- sentation. The burning of the Peggy Stewart occurred in October, 1774, and in many respects is considered by historians as a more daring and dramatic episode than the famous Boston Tea Party. James F. Dahamel, historian of the society, called attention to the spot in the State House where George Washington stood when he surren- dered his commission as commander in chief of the Continental Army. Anthem Closes Visit. The visit to the State House closed with the party nngmg “The Star- ‘Spangled Banner,” under direction of Arthur C. Barrett. Miss Emma A. Bright, recording secretary, recorded the proceedings while seated at the | desk of the secretary of the Senate. Leaving Annapolis, the unuves\ drove to Bay Ridge, where they ware( served lunch and participated in a program of sports. | The return trip to Washington was | made by way of Marlboro, with the members indulging in a songfest all the way home.

New Tailless Comet Is Studied By Astronomers in Wisconsin By the Associated Press. WILLIAMS BAY, Wis, June 22— Astronomical sights were trained to- night on a strange new visitor in southeastern skies, declared by Prof. Otto Struve, director of Yerkes Ob- servatory, to be a tailless comet. “It's a comet all right,” said Dr. Struve, “and probably has never been seen before. Its discovery was wired to us Thursday night after it was first observed by Cyril Jackson of Johan- nesburg, South Africa. Then ome of our astronomers, Philip Keenan, got | two photograrhs of it—one Thursday and one last night—with the 24-inch telescope. “Another observation will be nec- | essary before the direction of its path around the sun can be determined. “We can’t say yet how long it will be observable nor whether it will be in our skies a few weeks or a few years. “It is not visible to the naked eye for it can be spotted only with the largest, telescopes. We know definitely {only that it is a diffuse, but tailless, comet. “It is an important and interesting find and we will keep on observing it—as we do all comets—as long as it is within view.” Dr. Struve said Yerkes' information on the new comet had been wired | to the Harvard College Observatory at Cambridge, Mass., which also had had | The Yerkes photographs are ap- parently the first taken in this coun- try at least of the strange object, which has a magnitude of 14 in the Wisconsin skies. Wisconsin U. to Own Song. MADISON, Wis., June 22. (#).—The University of Wisconsin has hopes now of owning soon its famous march- ing song, “On Wisconsin.” Carl Beck of New York, a former student, who was back today for the reunion of the class of 1910, wrote the lyric in 1909. Since then it has been the property of & Milwaukee publishing firm. The | copyright expires in 1937, and Beck, who has the prviilege of renewing it, will then turn it over to the univer- sity, he said. ‘The music for the song was com- posed by William T. Purdy, who died in 1918. Beck said his royalties from the song have lmounted to about $50 HOT-WATER HEAT Any Nationally advertised heating system completely installed in six DEFENDS T. V. A.

FOUR-POWER PACT REVIVAL IS SOUGHT == Il Duce Reported Planring tc Suggest to Eden It Be Resurrected. By the Associated Press. ROME, June 22—A high authority sald tonight Premier Mussolini would suggest to Capt. Anthony Eden, Britain’s traveling negotiator, who reaches Rome tomorrow, that his cherished four-power pact be pulled out of the discard and given another looking over. ‘The pact, initialed in June, 1933, but never ratified, would in effect bind Italy, Britain, France and Ger- many to collaborate in keeping Europe's peace for 10 years. It also involves economic matters. Opposes Bilateral Accords. 11 Duce was said by the authority to feel that bilateral negotiations— such as the Anglo-German naval pact which Capt. Eden will explain— always leave something to be desired. Mussolini's newspaper, I1 Popolo DItalia, published an article by Gaetano Polverelli, former head of the press bureau, saying, “The most generous and concise initiative for harmonizing continental forces is un- doubtedly the four-power pact.” | Eden will arrive on the Paris tomorrow evening, and stay at the British Embassy. His first con- ference with Il Duce will be Monday | morning. May Salve Bitterness. Officials said the Italo-Ethiopian controversy would be omitted from the discussion. It was believed, however, that Eden would make some | effort to soften bitterness developed | between Britain and Italy over Mus- solini’s African program. ‘The foreign office revealed Ethiopia had apologized for the tearing of an Italian flag from an Italian Legation automobile at Addis Ababa recently. Today 2,519 more troops sailed for Africa. Model Policeman Honored.
