the hike. 4 number Of boys were not
present, who, it was ascertained lat

route lay along one Of the prettiest

The destination was the vicinity OF
Landlords mill, there being no deii-

The way out, through clear crisp

gone as far as the Quaker cemetery
we decided to turn aside and explore
the quaint old place. The grave
stones, which were the chief interest
Of the place, are remarkable for sew
eral things. Chief among these is the
old English style Of cutting the letter
ing upon them. The dates upon them
are very old, one being noted in 1875.
Some of the stones were made Of
soapstone and were carved very
crudely. From this cemetery we went
to the so-callea "Ind.an iburying
ground" where We found 4 great
number of aTrowheads, pieces Of pot
terry, and especially the Toy al In

XMAS QUIET DAY.
At WHITE
HOUSE
President and Mrs. Harding
Astir Early to Open Many
Presents.
BY KENNETH w. CLARK.
international News Service.

The President and Mrs. Harding,
with all Washington, were up early
today to open Christmas gifts.
Shortly after the last streaks of
dawn had faded from the sky. the
President hurried to his private
study on the second floor of the
White House to personally prepare
and arrange the presents which
Mrs. Harding later helped to un.
pack.
There were hundreds Of gifts
from friends in all parts Of the
world, and the Hardings spent most
Of the morning personally untieing
the packages and displaying their
gifts to each other.
They planned to- spend the day
quietly at the Executive Mansion
as Mrs. Harding's illness will not
permit her to go out, although her
condition was sufficiently improved
for her to have dinner with the
President in the private dining
salon, on the first floor. This was
the first TIME in more than three
months that her physicians had per-
mitted her to partake heartily Of
solid foods.
In striking contrast to previous
years, when the White House has
been the scene of elaborate Christ
mas festivities with numerous
guests and a mammoth tree, was
the Observance today. There was
M Christmas tree and no guests,
though many friends Of the Hard
ings called during the day to leave
their cards and express the sea-
sons wishes.
Friends who saw Mrs. Harding
today said she was In extremely
happy spirits and that she looked
much improved after her long Ill
ness.

English well. and is said to have
been a student at Columbia Uni

his own age rallied to his aid and
began systematic search Of the
city for the vanished girl.
Father and son were united In
their determination that the we'd
ding should not be called off until
tie hour for 1t had passed with the
bride still missing. They were de-
termined that should she appear the
Chinese marriage ceremony should
be performed even II they had to
postpone the American ceremony
until the marriage license bureau
opened.
Friends of the family said the
police had been asked to aid in the
hunt for the girl. AT police head
quarters. however, it was said no
such request had. been received.
But there is no doubt that q
search, and a vigorous one. is be-
ing made by Chinese emissaries Of
the Lees. A police officer, a vet
eran Of Chinatown, voiced the most
plausible theory, that Mildred Wen
disappeared because she objected
to a marriage arranged according
to the Chinese custom, without her
wishes having been consulted.

IN VIOLET
RAY SHORT
CIRCUIT
Treatment for Neuritis Proves
Fatal to Man While
Fiancee Waits.
PHILADELPHIA,

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. u.s.
George Menaker. forty.two years
old, was electrocuted when a short
circuit took place in the violet.ray
machine with which he was admins
tering a treatment to himself late
Yesterday afternoon. Across the
street, his fiancee, Miss Bertha Bod
nick, was waiting for him to 80 Out
to dinner.
Menaker, who for some time had
suffered from neuritis. had been TAX
ing violet-ray treatment at his
boarding house. In the early par,
of the afternoon he and Miss Bod
nick planned to celebrate Christmas
with Miss Bodnick's sister, Mrs. f.
V. Sownetz, and her four.year-old
niece, Marling.
After hiding the presents for Miss
Bodnick's niece and promising his
fiancee a great surprise for Christ
mas. he hurried home to dress for
dinner with her and her sister al
the home of some friends.
He then attached the violet-ray
machine in the bathroom and began
to apply the treatment. Suddenly
Mrs. Yetta Pettler the landlady. and
her family were startled by shrieks
from the bathroom.
Running upstairs they found the
door locked on the inside. They
hurriedly called District Detective
Burns and Patrolmen Passner and
Sands, Of the Twenty-sixth and York
streets station, who were passing
the house.
The policemen forced open the
door and found Menaker's body
hanging over the edge of the bath
tub and the wires OF the ray machine
coiled around his body emitting
flashes.
Burns turned off the current and
after extricating the man sum
moned a nearby physician, who pro
nounced him head.
Miss Bodnick and Mrs. Sownetz
becoming impatient at Menaker'i
delay, were about to leave without
him and were sending a note to that
effect by Marlin when Mrs. Pettler
ran across the street and told them
to hurry to her house, as Menakei
was dead.
Miss Bodnick tainted and required
the attentions Of a physician, her
Christmas ruined and her marriage
frustrated.

COURT AWARDS
WARFUNDS To
LEGION
Ohio Decision Involving $54,-
900 Makes Precedent A.
fecting Millions.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 20
Impetus has been given the Ameri-
can Legion's efforts to control the
millions Of dollars left over in war
chest funds, and 1t Is predicted
that the Legion will win 100 per
cent Of its cases, following the de-
cision of the Ohio court Of appeals
as announced by Gilbert Bettman.
department commander of Ohio.
through the national headquarters.
The court of appeals decision
turns over to the Legion posts of
Ohio the principal Of a war chest
fund involving $4,000. This is the
third victory for the Legion in
such cases. These establish prece.
dents for the collection by the
Legion of the residue of money ac-
cumulated by various organizations
during the war for the benefit of
soldiers, sailors, and marines then
in the fighting forces.
Held as Similar to G. A. r.
The higher court had made the
Legion's stand stronger than ever
by holding the Legion to bear the
same relation tn the world war as
did the Grand Army Of the Re-
public to the civil war.
Lemuel Bolles. national adjutant
of the Legion, explained the Ma
tion-wide effects of the decision:
1.-THE court has even gone beyond
the Legion requests, in that the
trustees in the lower court asked
that the fund be held for ten
years and the income used under
supervision of the American Legion
for ten years, then the principal
be turned over to the Legion.
THE court of appeals, however,
voluntarily held that the principal
Of the fund in question be forth.
with distributed to the American
Legion posts Of the State, at the
same time adding that the United
States Government would take care
Of the disabled"
Money Goes to Legion.
The two lower court decisions
establishing the Legion's right to
these funds were in Athens county,
Ohio. tried in Cincinnati, and at
Vevay. Ind, the latter involving a
$4,000 fund. In the Indiana case
the trustees were attempting 70
use the $1,000 for a county nurse.
They were enjoined by the court
from such use, and the money was
given to trustees designated by the
Legion for the purpose Of erecting
club houses for the local legion
posts which would stand as per-
manent war memorials in the
county.
These court actions, inaugurated
by Bettman and successfully car.
ried through, were followed by u
bulletin to all department COM
manders or the United States from
the national adjutant, who con.
cuded:
THE money Is youfs-go get It,"
