STANLEY LAUDS
MEMORY Of
DAVIS
Kentucky Senator Is Speaker
at Confederate Memorial
Day Celebration.

1.-THE honor of the South de-
mands, common justice and common
decency demand, that at last this
cruel and groundless fabrication of
malice and mendacity shall be ex-
posed, and jefferson Davis. the
soldier, the patriot and the states
man, shall stand revealed to poster
ity in his true colors and his real
worth"
So declared Senator A. o. Stanley
yesterday as principal speaker at
the memorial services for Con-
federate soldiers at Arlington Ma
tional Cemetery. The services were
conducted by the United Confederate
Veterans, Camp III, assisted by the
Confederate Southern Memorial AS
ISOLATION, the Sons of Confederate
Veterans, and the United Daughters
of the Confederacy.
THE South's great chieftain,' -
continued Senator Stanley, was
endowed with rarer gifts than valor
in battle or brilliancy in debate.
Diligent in the discharge of every
duty, materials and of men, he was
cautions without timidity, intrepid
without rashness, courteous with
out condescension, pious without
pretense.
''Iis services to the South and to
the nation will live in the hearts
of his grateful countrymen after
monuments of marble and tablets of
bronze shall have ceased to defy the
wasting tooth of time"

DEFENDS BOARD
Of CHILDREN s
GUARDIANS
Rev. John O'Grady Declares
Reopening of Home Does
Not End Placements.

The Rev. John O'Grady, director
of the Catholic Charities OF the
District, today came to the defense
of the board Of children's guardians.
In statement, he declared that the
reopening of the Industrial Home
School did not mean the abandon
ment Of the boards plan for placing
children in homes.
Father O'Grady pointed. out that
the school will care for 100 children
and homes in the city care for
1900. He declared that it was very
necessary to send children to
school where they could be studied
and later placed in suitable homes.
1.-THE board is suffering from
many handicaps as the result OF
insufficient funds" he said. with
the united support Of citizens it
should have very little difficulty in
obtaining from Congress the funds
necessary to care adequately for
our public wards. The rather wide
spread belief that the board has
been dominated by small clique
has. in all probability, been re-
sponsible for the lack of public
confidence in the past"

DANCE DERBY IS
READY FOR
GETAWAY
A Score of Starters Posted in
Novel Race Running This
Week at Arcade.

With dancing sprinters entered
from more than a dozen States, the
National Dance Derby-the first
event of it's kind ever staged-will
get under way from the post to-
night at $50 o'clock at the Arcade
Fourteenth and Park road, north
west.
Special provisions have been made
by the management for the visiting
Shriners, many of whom will be given
their first opportunity to see a re-
vised version of the marathon dane
ing craze.
Waiting and trotting around a
tenth of a mile track, especially
constructed on the Arcade floor, a
score of couples will cast aside the
easy, shutting ways Of the dance
marathon and quicken their pace
An order to be the first past the
winning post at the end of three
and one-half hours of continuous
dancing.
Eligible For Final.
Winners in tonight's race will be
rewarded with cash prizes, and with
certificates of eligibility in the final
dance derby to be held Saturday
night over a distance of twenty
eight miles.
Preliminary heats will be danced
every night this week until Satur-
day, when the grand derby VIII pc
danced off, to be participated In by
the winners of each nights heat.
Valuable cash prizes will go to the
first three winners each nlgnt ana
the grand award will be made Sat
urday for the individual or couple
who dances the greatest number OF
laps to the syncopattons or the
continuous orchestra.
Among the entries in the Arcade
dance races are several record hold
ers in marathon contests through
out the United States.
The race track is constructed
around the outside of the regular
dancing floor at the Arcade, SO that
both dancers and spectators will
have a chance to view the racers
as they test their speed around the
course. Air-cooling appliances also
have been installed at the auditorium
for the comfort Of the dancers and
spectators.
Health Dangers Eliminated.
The health-endangering character
istics of the marathon have been
completely eliminated in-the derby,
the manager of the Arcade declared
last night There will be real en-
durance test in the RANGING race, blI:
there will not be the uninteresting
and dangerous spectacle of couples
moving about like mechanical dolls
that was such a conspicuous feature
OF the marathon" he said.
I'VE expect TO produce real en-
durance dance champion at the end
of the derby" he added. And the
of the dance race, together
with the thrill of watching the
sprinting dancers, should supply ad
ditional amusement for the Shriners
during their stay here"
