Gahn Tells Society of Pioneer Wash- ingtonian. A varied program of addresses, music and motion pictures last night featured the final meeting, this season, of the Columbia Historical Society, in the Mayflower Hotel. An address on “Maj. John Adlum of Rock Creek” was delivered by Mrs. Bessie Wilmarth Gahn, who outlined his career as & soldier in the Ameri- can Revolution and the War of 1812 and then as a scientist and early set- tler of the District of Columbia. Maj. Adlum, who is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, moved to the District with his family in 1814 and later owned & vineyard in Rock Creek Park, along Plerce Mill road, Mrs. Gahn pointed out. The Bureau of Standards is said to be on the site of the old Adlum residence. In his vineyard Maj. Adlum is cred- ited with having grown the first grapes of the variety known as “Catawba,” which he is said to have named after the Indians. He also grew many other varieties of grapes best suited for making wines, wine. To Maj. Adlum also is given credit of having been the first person to urge the United States Govern- | petuate certain varieties of grapes and develop them to the fullest. A native of York, Pa, Maj. Adlum served in the American Revolution as a soldier from that State and sub- sequently was a captain from Mary- land in the War of 1812. In the lat- ter he was with troops attacked by the British at Havre de Grace, Md., Mrs. Gahn said. “An old letter re- cently found in the files of the War | Department records the service of Capt. Adlum at that place, November 10, 1813,” she said. “Maj. Adlum died in 1836 at his vineyard,” Mrs. Gahn said. Recently his grave, long sought by historians, was found, she said. A bronze marker | is to be placed on the tombstone next | Saturday by the Susan Riviere Hetzel | Chapter, Daughters of the American ! Revolution, District of Columbia, she said. A copy of a portrait of Maj. Adlum | by the celebrated artist, Peale, and | | another portrait of his daughter, Anne | Maria Adlum, by Sully, owned by his great-grandson, John Adlum Sterrett, this city, were shown at the meeting. Five of Maj. Adam's great-grand- | children and several great-great- | grandchildren attended. The great- grandchildren attending included | William D. Sterrett, John Adlum Ster- | rett and Mrs. Mary Dent Yarnall, all of this city; Miss Anne Maria Adlum and Mrs. Katharine Dent | Crummer, both of New York. | Motion pictures taken in natural | color by Mark Lansburgh of garden | scenes at old Virginia mansions, scenes in Bermuda and Charleston, S. C., | were shown by him at the meeting. | A program of vocal and instru- | mental music was given by the “Tele- phone Quartet,” composed of men of | the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone | Co. They are R. B. Leavitt, M. B. | Reynolds, G. A. Small and J. R. Adamson. They also played instru- mental music. i Brief addresses were made from the | floor by Allen C.

C, TUESDAY, QUICK TRIAL FACED BY BROCKELHURST “Crime Teurist” Sent by Lehman to Face Arkan- sas Murder Count. By the Associated Press. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, May 18.— Anxious to “get it over with,” Lester Brockelhurst, 23, wanted on murder charges in three States, was headed to- day for a swift trial in Arkansas by virtue of Gov. Lehman’s decision “that that State has the strongest case against him.” After a conference with Illinois, Texas and Arkansas officials, the New York Governor signed extradition papers sending the ‘“crime tourist” back to face trial on a charge of killing Victor Gates, wealthy Arkansas plan- tation owner. “I am willing to return,” said the former Sunday school teacher. His sweetheart, Bernice Felton, 18, charged with being an accessory, likewise told County Judge J. Gordon Flannery, “I | am willing to go back.” To Ask Death Penalty. Prosecuting Attorney George Hartje of Arkansas said he would demand the death penalty for both. Barring delay by the defense, Hartje said trial would be started in Circuit Court at Lonoke next week. Abraham Felton said his daughter now realizes that Brockelhurst told her “a cock and bull story” of being “hounded” by police. He refused to shake hands with the Tlinois ex-convict in the county court room here. Brockelhurst held out his handcuffed | & hands, but Felton stepped back, say- ing: “I couldn’'t do that, Lester. You know I couldn’t—not after what you've done to me.” In turn, Brockelhurst refused Fel- ton’s offer to tell his parents in Rock- ford, I, of the Arkansas trial. “Knows” He'll Get Chair, “I don't want to see my father and mother at the trial.

Felton said his daughter was “through” with Brockelhurat. “He told her parole officers were after him,” the father explained, “and that the police of Rockford were hounding him until he married, so he asked her to run away with him and get married.” Brockelhurst told the father in the court room, “She didn't want to go with me, but I made her.” “Don’t do anything for me,” he added. “Do all you can for Bernice, and I'll promise you I'll do everything to get her out of this trouble.” Pilot May Survive Crash.
