Arrival of Armenian
Girl Is Celebrated
Beautiful Refugee Comes to
America to Seek Long Lost
Brother

There was a party last night in the
home of V. Vardanian, a tailor and
social leader of the little colony of
Armenians on Washington Heights.
There was American, ice cream and
Armenian wine and laughter of both
nations to celebrate the safe arrival in
this country of Miss Arshalus Mar
digian, a beautiful Armenian girl
refugee.
Since May, 1915, when her native
city of Chumazag was captured, Miss
Mardigian has been a refugee from one
Turkish prison city to another. For a
long time, she says, she was held in
the home of one Of the sons Of Ahnad
Bey, ruler of the province, but escaped
through the Offices Of an old shepherd,
who led her through the forests by
night. Finally she reached the neutral
city of Erzangan, where, through the
aid of committee of Armenians, she
was given funds and clothing to come
to America, where she had brother,
who emigrated here about ten years
ago.
The search for him has been fruit
less, however, and yesterdays party
was last effort to let her story be-
come known, in the hope that some one
who knows Vahan Mardigian will com
municate with his sister

Nation Ordered
On Sugar Ration
Certificates To Be Issued to
Public Consumers and
Dealers on July l

Another move toward the food ration
ing of the nation was made yesterday,
when the Federal Food Board an
nounced that in conformity with in
structions from the United States food
administration all public consumers
and distributors of sugar, from the re-
finer down to and including the retailer,
will be put on a certificate basis be-
ginning July !.
The certificate plan includes all re-
liners, every hotel and restaurant, club
and boarding house, every retail and
wholesale store, and every family in
which there are twenty-five or more
persons, this number including en-
ployes of households whose meals are
served by the employer.
The allotment to hotels by certificates
will be made on the basis of three
pounds for every ninety meals served.
There will be no certificates issued to
individual consumers.
While there will be no sugar ration
ing of households the board wishes
every housewife to know that it is
absolutely necessary that no one should
use more than three pounds for each
person per month.

Hylan Vetoes Subway Plan

Mayor Hylan vetoed yesterday the
plans approved by the Board of Esti-
mate ON May 3, providing for the con-
struction of new rapid transit sub
way in Brooklyn known as asmodifca-
ton of the Fourteenth Street Eastern
Line" The plans had been recon-
mended by the engineers of the Pub
lie Service Commission as the best
route for the new line, and would mean
q saving of from 100000 to 100000 to
the city in construction work.
The commission adopted the old
route, which was to run over the Long
Island Railroad right of way from
about Bushwick Avenue to East New
York. Subsequently the engineers
made a further study of the matter
and decided that a better and cheaper
route would be to leave Bushwick
Avenue near Johnson Avenue and run
TO Bogart Street, through private prop
erty, in the block between johnson
Avenue and Boerum Street. The Mayor
advised returrfSng to the old route.

The firemen contend that they should

Asks 2-Cent Postage
Rate for New York
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune,

WASHINGTON, June 24-An appeal
for 2-cent postage for all drop let
ters for distribution in New York City
was made to the House Ways and
Means Committee to-day by Repre-
sentative Oscar w. Swift, of Brooklyn.
He asked that this privilege be pro-
vlded for in the revenue bill under
consideration by the committee.
Mr.. Swift declared that New York
was being Disseminated against by the
present law. which provides that Scent
postage be necessary when mail in one
postal district is destined for another
postal district, despite the fact that
each district is within the territory
limits of the city itself. Because New
York has six postal districts, Repre-
sentative Swift said, it cost cents to
mail letter at one end of Brooklyn
bridge when the addressee lived at the
other end, whereas in Philadelphia.
which is included in one postal dis
trict, a local letter can be carried
twentyone miles for cents.

taxpayer expected they would have to
pay the sum as figured out by Wash
ington. 1t is the privilege of all who
consider that they have been over
charged by Uncle Sam to protest and
file q claim for refund.
The fact that / want to impress,"
said Mr.: Edwards, "is that the tax as
figured by Washington is the one that
must be paid at this Office to-day to
escape the penalty"

INDIANS HARD AT WORK
PREPARING FOR SEASON
William md Mnry IIns But Ono Lett
ter Mnn Bnck--Much Good
Material.
Especial to The Timcs-Dispatch.l


WILLIAMSBURG, VA. March TO-
For several days Coach Peachy has
been limbcrinG up some twenty five
candidates for the William and Mary
baseball team. Work of only Il mild
nature was INDUCED in last week, but
this week the coach expects to put
them through the regular seasons
grind. The battery candidates began
tossing them across last Friday, and BY
the end of this week the pitchers
should be able to shoot them over ut
lively rate in batting practice.
While as yet the men have not been
able to display their ability. n number
OF new men are ut hand to be de-
vcloped. and II is the opinion that
from the new material and subs titutcs
Coach Peachy will be able to form n
good team. considering war conditions
and the fact that there is only one
letter man back
Tho most serious proposition to be
solved this spring are the battery and
first base positions. As yet there are
only two men out for the pitching po-
sition. The failure of Frank Garnett
TO return to college leaves a vacancy
hard to fill on the pitching staff. Gar
nett was by far the most brilliant slab
artist to step into the box of an East
ern Virginia Association club for sew
eral years. The two candidates out
to MI C;arnetts shoes are Settle and
Joyner. The former Is new man,
while the latter is n last years sub
stitute. The receiving position seems
as yet to be between three mon
Zehmer, r. J. Johnson and Murphy.
There Is little to choose between them
and their sticking ability will decide
the matter.
At first base. Fitchett, Tally and Hill
lard seem to have the edge on the other
aspirants. but some other men may
develop later. The absence OF hurry
will be greatly felt at this position.
Captain Love will again play the key
stone position, and w w. Johnson, who
played in n number of games last year.
will probably he his running mate at
shortstop. Fentrcss. who also played
in several games last season, will
without doubt play the hot corner.
Other new men who are showing up
we'll at these places are James. at
shortstop, and Motley, at third.
In the outfield are three men who
seem to show the earmarks OF fast
gardeners and seem to have the edge
on the other candidates. These men
are Brooks. Garrett and Parrish-all
substitutes OF last years team. Lee.
OF last years William and Mary
Academy team. Is also showing form.
and will give some one a run for
berth
Through the efforts OF Coach Peachv,
ten mon will be excused from military
drill.
