Beauty, Long Buried IN Steel Casket,
CrumbIes to Dust at Breath of Air

Removing the lead headpiece,
they gazed through a panel of glass
at the figure OF a beautiful young
woman, well preserved. despite the
evident decades that had passed
since she was put to sleep in her
mansion of rest" reads the Vir-
ginian- Pilot story. AT least, that
was the story told by the excavators.
I'm some way, after the lead head
piece had been chiseled OF, some one
broke the glass and air was admit
ted to the chamber which had been
sealed so many years. Then the
whiteness of the form vanished as IL
with a sigh and the form that a mo-
ment before had lain there became
a shapeleSs thing"
Several other bodies were found by
the workmen. No record OF ceme-
terry having been located on the site
in recent years can be found. The
opinion that the bodies were buried
there in. the early colonial days has
been expressed.

NORFOLK. Va, August 9.-Now
comes the story of the discovery OF
a steel casket containing the body
Of a beautiful woman, while exca-
vators this week were working on
the site of the Ford assembly plant
here. The casket has been placed in
newmade grave in Forest Lawn
Cemetery, where there clings to It
perhaps some strange, sad story of
the distant past, of loves that were
lost, of life that did not see the full
ness of time" says the story in the
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
When the workmen first found the
casket they thought it contained
buried treasure left there by buc-
cancers reputed to have used the
coves and inlets of that vicinity when
they were hard pressed at sea.

PORTER COMP ANY .IS CELEBR ATING
 10TH BIRTHDAY
Age-Herald Advertising Given As One Of Main
 Factors In Success

The Porter Clothing company Friday reaches its twentieth anniversary as 2 mercantile establishment in Birming. ham, the store having been opened for business March 28, 1904. Since that time the store has more than doubled it's capacity, has several times been re. modelled and today is under oing re modelling process which the proprietorz state will make it one of the finest stores for men in the entire country.
 It had been hoped that the newly created store could be opened on the 10th anniversary, but delays n delivery of material made it impossible. Henry !. Porter, IT,. stated Thursday, how. ever. fhaf 4lthcuRh tho onenifs 1afn1| Dc on the 6sfe originally planned tIieil friends may rest assured that Mhek everything is ready their new estahIish raent will be such as to be q credit to Birmingham. x
 We feel justly proud of the great success we have made in Birningham said Mir. Porter. sgThe growth and de. Yelopment of our business has been continuous and steady from the start showing that people appreciate our idea of giving the best possible merchandise at the lowest possible prices.
 "It may interest the people of Bir- ningham also to know that one of the main things to which we attribute our great success is The Age-H Herald as an advertising medium. Our faith in the results secured from The Age.H is shown by the fact that we have used its columns constantly and continuous. ly since the day we started in. busi. ness. We have never been out of The Age Herald. We feel that this not only speaks well for the message we had to present to Age Herald readers, but also of the ready response and appreeia. ton of our words in The Age-H Herald columns.
 We started in a small way twenty years ago and now we are upon the threshold of completing the remodellins of our huge double building, which will give us 8 mems establishment unsur- passed in the entire country.

50 BIBLE STUDENTS
 SIGN PEACE FACT
Garret Institute Group Would
 Abolish R. O. T. c.

CHICAGO, March 2y. Pledgea never to participate in any act of waF- fare were signed last night by 50 students of Garrett Biblical Institute, a theological scllUol affiliated with Northwestern university at a meeting of 160 studnets who passed resolutions demanding the abolishing of the army, navy and reserve officers training corps.
 Meanwhile the executive committee of the trustees of Northwestern col lege, German Methodist school at Naperville, H., not connected with Northwestern universally, decided to discontinue. the R. o. T. c. there on grounds that the students are opposed to military service.
 The pledges taken by the students of Garrett do not represent the teach ings of the institution, Dr. Charles M. Stuard, president, said.
 At the Garrett student meeting a resolution was passed expressing ''great appreciation for the courageous stand of the pacifist group of Northwestern university" who were the central fig ures in Pacifist meeting last Sum- day addressed by Brent Dow Allinson, war ObieetOr

 It also was a part of the story that Daugherty, Hays and others had agreed to make Hamon Secretary of the In. terior; that Hamon was to take over what the democratic administration had left of the public land and, that Hamon expected to make a great deal of money out of them and then get himself elect cd as the next President.
 Plans Frustrated
 Hamon was quoted as saying that Daugherty at first had wanted Albert B. Fall as Secretary of the Interior, but that he had put it all over him" on that proposition. Asked as to the cor. rectness of Hamon's expectations, Jen- nings replied that they were not full filled as he did not live. He was shot and killed by Clara Smith Hamon late in 1920.

COOLIDGE TIRES OF DAUGHERTY,
 CAPITAL HEARS
Recent Conferences A White House Believed
 Significant

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Retire- ment of Attorney General Daugherty from the Coolidge cabinet has again been brought under serious considera- tion and indications today point to de- velopments in the near future.
 President Coolidge has almost, if not entirely, come to agreement with many of his closest advisers that with charges piling up daily against MT. Daugherty's administration of the department of justice continuance of the Attorney General in office is more of load than any administration justly can be called upon to bear.
 Business Neglected
 Inquiries made by the President are understood to have failed to convince him that the current business of the department is being administered with the expedition the country has a right to demand. This circumstance is be- lieved to have weighed more heavily with MT. Coolidge than any other fac tor.
 Two conferences held by the Presi- dent with his Attorney General yester- day are understood to have been de- VOteu ldrkGLy IO q COnSlO6EhLlUu OI IHIS subject and to have brought the matter nearer a head than it has been before.
 MT. Coolidge feels that the present time more than at any, other recent years perhaps, the chief law officer of the government should be in a position not only to command public confidence, but the give his energies unrestrictedly to the discharge of public business. There have been strong indications that should the President actually decide the time has come to part company with Mir. Daugherty, a formal public re- quest for his resignation may be neces- sary to get him out of office. The Att torney General has taken the position that he should be permitted to remain until his hearing before the Senate committee has been concluded.
 Promises Statement
 Today MT. Daugherty indicated that he would have some statement to make during the afternoon but before the hour set he suddenly lief: the justice department for his hotel without iu- forming those in his office what to ex- pect.
 Recently the President frequently has conferred with Assistant Attor- neys General Seymour and Holland with respect to department of justice business.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-(By the Associated Press. )-Al Jennings, once famous train robber and now a California real estate dealer, related to- day before the oil committee one of the most unusual tales congressional investigators have ever heari.
 It revolved around a million dollars, which he said he had been told figured in the 1920 national campaign. His only information, however, had come from the late Jake Hamon, who at the time was the republican national com. mitteeman from Oklahoma.
 >. Penrose Mentioned
 Tn Chicago hotel room, the witness said, Hamon told him the nomination of Harding would cost him 1000. 900 {; that he (Hamon) had put up" $250,- 900 of this sum to the late Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania $25,0O0 to Harry M. Daugherty; $25,000 to Will H. Hays, the chairman of the republi- can national committee, and another $25, ,000 to a fourth man from Ohio named Manning, or something similar.
 Besides, he quoted Hamon as saying money was used indiscriminately with

COMMITTEE STRIKES
 AT TAX EVADERS
Senate Group Raises Rate On
 Surtax Jumpers

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Re- newing their program of day and night sessions the Senate finance committee virtually cleared up the revenue bill. The schedule of excise and miscel- laneous taxes, most of which were re- vised by the House, are to be taken up immediately.
 The Senate finance committee tonight voted to increase from 25 to 50 per cent the tax on the income of corpor- ations formed for the purpose of eVad- ing the surfaces.
 It also was agreed to exempt heads of families with incomes of less than $2,500 for filing tax returns. The present law carries provision agreed to by the House, requiring heads of families with incomes of $2,000 and over to file returns.
 With most of the administrative pro visions out of the way the committee will take up the corporation tax to- morrow.
