Ey tne Associated Press. SPOKANE, July 11.—Divorced this week .at & trial in which political charges figured, “Gen.” Rosalie Gard- ner Jones, former suffragist, an- nounced her candidacy tonight for the Demccratic nomination for Rep- resentative from the fifth Washing- ton district. Former United States Senator C.C. Dill accused her in his successful di- vorce suit of hurting him politically by outspoken opposition to President | Roosevelt, but the judge in granting the divorce held the charge was not sustained. Mrs. Dill. who said she prefers the name of “Miss Rosalie Jones,” said the would seek the Congressional seat vacated by Sam B. Hill, who was ap- pointed by President Roosevelt to the Board of Tax Appeals. ‘Washington never has had a woman Congressman,” she said in her announcement, “and I think it is only proper that the State should have. It was one of the first in the West to adopt women's suffrage.” “Will you espouse the principles of former Senator Dill in your cam- paign?” she was asked. “I don't know what his principles are.” she rejoined. “I will simply appeal to the vot- ers, assuring them the splendid record | of Representative Sam Hill can be carried on in Congress. “My campaign . slogans will be: “Washington First,’ and ‘Grand Cou- lee—the Biggest Thing in the Coun- try. “Sam Hill got a $20,000,000 ap- propriation for Grand Coulee at the last session, and the next Congress- man should get twice that much.” She holds five college degrees and is a lawyer in her own right. She inherited a New York real estate for- tune from her mother. PRIEST DIES AT 90 Rev. MosesAMcGnrr; Oldest in Holy Cross Congregation. SOUTH BEND, Ind.. July 11 (#).— Rev.

Today, only one of those 183 char- ter members survives. He is Dr. Charles Edward Munroe, the man who “toyed with death and made a comrade of TNT,” whose home at Forest Glen, Md., has become a mecca for American chemists. At 87, Dr. Munroe, inventor of indurite, discoverer of the principle of detonation known as the “Munroe effect,” and author of many impor- tant scientific papers, is enjoying good | health. He regrets, however, that he will be unable to attend the meeting in Pitts- iburgh September 7-11, when the so- | clety will celebrate the 60th anniver- | sary of its: founding. Dr. Munroe, who all his life has worked among explosives, invented in- | durite—the first smokeless powder | adopted by the United States Navy for | use in larger guns—during his service | at the Naval Torpedo Station at New- port, R. I., from 1886 to 1892. He was chief explosives chemist of the United States Bureau of Mines from 1919 to | 1933, | His discovery of the principle of detonation, it is held, “may well be the key to airplane bombing.” While a professor at Harvard Uni- versity, he was the first to introduce the study of chemical technology into the universities. He was born of Revolutionary stock at Cambridge, Mass., May 24, 1849, and was grad- uated from Harvard in 1871 Dr. Munroe’s experiments with smokeless powder manufacture began in 1889, when all the larger nations were seeking to produce such a powder. President Harrison, in his annual | message to Congress December 6, 1892, called attention to the development of the powder as one of the achievements | of his administration. Dr. Munroe has been retained as an expert on explosives by at least 10 governments. He is a former profes- sor of chemistry at the United States Naval Academy, and at George Wash- ington University, where he originated the School of Graduate Studies and ibecame its first dean. He has served | as chairman of the National Research Council’'s Committee on Explosives In- vestigation, and has received numerous honors from foreign governments and scientific societies. | When the first local section of the | society was established at Providence, R. I. January 21, 1891, Dr. Munroe was elected chairman. The society, now the largest professional organiza- | tion of its kind in the world, has more | than 80 sections in all parts of the country.

Charges that the Munitions Control Board of the State Department is striking a blow at civil aviation in the United States through unneces- sary inclusion of harmless aviation .| equipment in its definitive list cf implements of warfare, were made last night by the National Aeronautic As- sociation. The association pointed out that the list compiled by vhe Munitions Board includes items in every branch of civil aviation, amonys them motor~ Tess gliders, woodea propellers and 35-horsepower engines nsed for light sport airplanes weighing less than 500 pounds. - In making public an ecitorial which will appear in the July issue of its monthly magazine, the N. A. A. stated that the Munitions Board “has not only levied a $500 licensing fee for e e et i Durable A Over Frame or Stuece 2125 R. L. AVE.

The President, in his proclama- tion of April 10, 1936, nullified the original intent, the association claims, by including all aircraft, whether as- sembled or unassembled; ‘propellers, air screws, fuselages, hulls, wings and engines. > “The association’s fight.” it was explained by N. A. A. officials, “is lodged against what is known as ‘category V. in which ‘all aircraft,” large and small, including accessories, as builders. No allowanre is :ven made for exporting; the proclamation is effective for merely the manufactur- ing of any type of airplane or its parts, large or small.” In its editorial, ihe assoclation com- ments that the State Department, ap- parently, “can’t see the difference be- tween a twin-engined bomber and a sport plane weighing less chan 500 pounds, or & 250-mile-an-hour mili- tary pursuit plane and a fabric light plane with a cruising range of 150 miles.” .
