Congressman Slemp stated today
that il might be ten days and per-
haps two weeks before he will be IN
position to name the next postmaster
Of Alexandria. He said that he had
communicated with state chairman
Crupper who holds the same view
that Virginia, so far as Alexandria
is concerned shall appoint a post
master not concerned with the or
ganization in Virginia but constitute
a man who will submit some power
and influence bound. TO be felt in the
Old Dominion.
There have been seven candidates
mentioned as postmaster OF AleXan-
dria. Most of them have been over
age. The man who controls the APP
pointment. says that he will find a
real live wire to take the Job. The
statement of the Republican influ-
ence which means that former adj
hcrents to the Republican machine
will not be considered as candidates
for the job is rather significant. II
seems to eliminate the candidacy OF
Armisted Eggborn, former postmas-
ter under the Republican administra.
tion and a candidate for the present
lob. According to the information
I obtained by the Gazette correspon'
dent the next postmaster OF AleXan,
dria will represent compromise be-
tween the organization in the party
and the will of the people. Which
all goes to show that the names
prominently mentioned thus far are
far from being in the race. as Il sue
cessor to DR.. Smith.
The statement of Senator Garter
Glass, of Virginia. printed IN the Ga.
zette Saturday has Jared most of
the propaganda in Virginia headed
bv some of the ex-service men
which is supposed to influence the
Senators and Representatives from
that state. The direct statement of
the Junior Senator from Virginia and
his attitude concerning the bonus
will, it is believed serve to lnfluen-
ce in the Senate Of the United
States those Senators who are now
"on the fence" and who feel that
through their constituencies they may
have to support particular raid on
the Treasury as Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon characterizeS the
effort on the part of Congress to
suggest a bonus.
Congress is at loss to provide
ways and means for meeting the
bonus. The Ways and Means Com
mittee has been rumbing around in
an effort to provide plan for cir
cumventing financial conditions to
meet the bonus. Up to date Can-
gress, as represented by its financial
committee. has found no plan to pro-
vide the wherewithal to pay the
bonus. The Republican members Of
the Ways and Means Committee are
still studying upon a plan which
they hope will solve the bonus prob
lem. Most of the Republican mem-
bers in the House agree that there
will not be bonus legislation at this
session.

Joseph L. Crupper, dictator OF
Republican politics in the state of
Virginia told the Gazette correspon'
dent today that the Civil Service
Commission is behind six months in
the certification OF candidates for
postmastership. He said to ME that
there would be report on the exam
nation of the Alexandria outfit and
that within ten days he would be
able to name successor to DR. Will
liam NJ. Smith. Crupper said at the
White House that the Civil Service
Commission might certify particu-
lar name to the Republican organi-
cation and that its organization
would feel compelled to abide by such
decision.

AS a matter of fact this particular
Office is being considered through the
Judgment of Representative Bascom
Slemp, republican patronage cleaner
and Joseph L. Crupper, republican
state chairman.
The Gazette correspondent has
found out that the Republicans in
Virginia in indorsing a candidate for
the postmastership of Alexandria
will ignore some of the regular Re.
publican Endorsements for the old
time organization men and will call
upon a real active and Young in
dorsement of Republican principles as
enunciated by President Harding
with whom Alexandria can command
its support.

Mrs. Milton Ferguson was one OF
the first members appointed by the
Governor TO serve on the Mothers
Pension Commismsion when 1t was
created in 1917.
She served almost continuously
as chairman, and although not re-
ceiving any compensation whatso-
ever, she was untiring in her efforts
for the welfare OF the mothers, do
ing much personal work which took
up almost all OF her time. She
often walked miles. over snow, TO
visit some distressed mother living
in an isolated district.
To many of these mothers she
never can be replaced. Her good
counsel and willingness to get what
given in such good spirit that. no
matter what the decision. the
mothers could not but feel they were
being given a fair opportunity.
THE spirit of the law, as well as
the letter" was always her motto
Friends say that If she could have
chosen the manner OF her gdlng, It
would have been Just as IL was.
whilst doing some good deed for
others.
But her deeds. they assert. were
not confined TO the mothers on the
pension list alone. Her neighbors
testify TO many acts OF kindness in
time of grief or distress. She has
been known to earn money to help
someone in particular need, and
where monetary aid was imperative.
The news OF her passing" was
flashed from door 10 door. and. by
he time Mr.. Ferguson returned from

was stricken, It seemed as though !

specific information about one item
I refer now to the Christiana River
Del, from Newport to Christiana
II lies about six miles north OF the
city OF Wilmington and II has three
towns OF considerable size upon III
banks. It runs through the midsi
Of rich farming section. and It is
desirable TO have It surveyed to de-
termine whether or not that part OF
the river can be dredged to accom-
modate a growing industrial and
agricultural community"
Mr.. Mondell: HAS the stream
been improved at all?"
DR.. Layton-"Yes; up to Whining
ton and a little beyond it. 1t runs
throught a section of the country
with no rock, kind OF section that
ls easily susceptible TO dredging at a
very low cost. We are simply ask
ing for a survey TO let the experts of
the government determine whether
the river shall be further improved" ="
Mr.. Mondell:-'This Is very
proper item, I should say. for sur
vey."
',Mr. Chairman, continued DR..
Layton. at is not necessary for me
to speak at any length upon this
item for the harbor of Wilmington,
Del, yesterday 1 put a rather long
dissertation in the record upon this
crr hfnnf fna1frdfnU fhfa },
itself 1 will only repeat what I
said yesterday that the committee,
in including projects, were careful
to include projects where the locali-
ties were showing a disposition
largely to help themselves. The city
of Wilmington is the one great city
in my State. city of 1875, 900 inhabi-
tants and with probably as varied
an industrialism as there is in any
city in the United States, with a
tremendous output and valuable
output and as you all know with a
tremendous wealth, which goes to
swell largely the Federal treasury.
They have bonded themselves for
S3,OO0,0OO in order to develop a port.
Up to this time the city of Whining
ton has depended upon a little river
called the Christiana. It is prob
ably not more than so or 100 yards
across. Wilmington has reached the
point where she must have an outlet
upon the Delaware river. The con-
sequence is that she has asked that
this paragraph be favorably consid-
cred by the House, in order to i'm
prove the mouth of that river,
where she proposes to spend at least
100000 for docks, terminals, ware
house and so-forth.
Running into the development
are three OF the great railroads of
this country-the Baltimore and
Ohio. the Pennsylvania. and the
Reading. I believe, and I think the
House will believe, II they give It
mature considerations know the
engineers of the government take
this view OF it-that even now there
is a congestion upon the Delaware
river that demands this improve
ment. I do not believe there is any
place in the United States where
there is a greater industralism and
greater congestion of population. |
with a certainty OF still greater fu-
ture development in industrialism, in |
agriculture and in horticulture and /
Of increasing population, than there /
Is from New Castle, Del, up beyond !
Philadelphia for many miles, at
least as far as Bristol"

General Motors Among
Stocks That Go to New
Highs for the Year

NEW YORK, May 20 Omitted
Press.) - Youngstown Steel and
Tubes desertion OF the proposed six
company merger caused a wide open
break in Republic Iron and Steel at
the start of trading on the New
York Stock Exchange today.
This stock opened at ~ and i'm
mediately sold down to II, compared
with the high OF 76 in Fridays clos
ing dealings. Midvale was compare
lively firm, receding less than a point
to 411a.
Despite the disturbing development
with regard to the Independent
steels. the general market was
strong. Steel Common opened at a
new high for the year, 1o1S and
Mexican Petroleum reached a new
high at 136A. Talk of a demonstra-
ton in Doheny stocks. also brought
about a big demand for the Pan
American issues.
Bullish enthusiasm was rampant in
the first hour and practically the
whole market moved forward in Wig
orous fashion. Reading leading rails
bettered its previous 1922 top in a
spurt to 50 while New Haven at
tained a new high at S3 and D., L.
and W. scared TO 1913, up II, from
the weeks low.
General Motors kept up It's extra
ordinary activity. reaching a new
high at 141s. While Retail Stores
and Tobacco Products sold off under
profit-taking. General Cigar ad-
vanced Is to 731h. This company is
now the leading cigar concern in the
United States.
There was considerable specula-
tion as to whether this company may
not have been given some considera-
tion in the pending tobacco consoli-
datiens. 1t is unlikely that If Gen
eral Cigar were approached. they
would consider anything near the
present price of the stock. This stock
which is paying 6 per cent. is now
behind the market.

ing OF signs OF a standard type ap-
proximstely 800 feet of the main
