HUGHES EULOGIzES
LATE DR.. F. J. YANES
Assistant Director Pan-American
Union Was Power for Peace,
Says Secretary.
MEXICAN PARLEY DELAYED
Communications Conference t,
Meet Now on May ~.

The late DR.. Francisco ]. Yanes, as
sistant director of the Pan-American
Union, was eulogized by Secretary of
State Hughes at the meeting of the
governing board Of the union here
yesterday.
I'VE come to this meeting with a
deep sense of the loss that we have
sustained in the passing away of the
esteemed officer of the Pan-American
Union and our valued friend and as
sociate, DIR. Yanes. the former assist
ant director, said the Secretary.
we are again reminded that rarely
does real progress concern itself with
the spectacular, or with matters that
achieve the monetary sensation, but
inheres in the steady, constant ex-
pert effort of those who devote their
lives to subjects of great public util-
ity.
This is especially true in connec-
ton with the efforts that are made
10 promote international accord. 1t
is in the laborious endeavors to dis
pose OF controversies, to facilitate a
better Understanding, to establish
and helpful relation that progress is
made toward the great goal of our
desires-for peace and concord of ma
tionS."
Man Of Wide Experience.
Recalling that DIR. Yanes had been
associated with the American
Union for twenty-six years and that
he had been assistant director for
twelve years, Mr.. Hughes added: "He
brought to the important work in
which he was thus engaged very eX-
traordinary equipment of personal eX-
perience, of intimate acquaintance with
Latin American affairs and especially
n - RI s,cst,<
to the very essentials of Pan-Ameri-
canism.
His labor is recorded in the con-
tinuous efforts 70 the Pan-American
Union, and he represents to a very
high degree that quiet, unobtrusive ef-
fciency upon which organizations in
the last analysis depend for their sue
cess"
The ambassador of Cuba, the minis
ter of Ecuador, the charge d'affaires of
Ell Salvador and the director general of
the Pan American Union also spoke,
after which a resolution was adopted
declaring DR.. Yanes' passing "deprives
the cause Of Pan-Americanism OF one
its most ardent supporters"
Conference Is Postponed.
The governing board decided that
the lnter-American Electrical Commu-
nlcation Conference, originally sched-
uled to assemble at Mexico City March
2', should be postponed to May 27, in
order that all governments of the
American continent may be represented.
The board was informed by Director

A Bit of the Past
By Stars Former Carriers.

s"The undersigned carried a Star
route in 1873, 1879 and $780," writes
Ben r. Thorpe an old Washingtonian.
who states that his route was a
heavy one, even considering the small
size and weight of The Stars of those
days, totaling 800 papers or more.
1t started at Palmer's milling store,
then on F street northwest, and
ended at Sth and o streets. At the
time of his carrier service Mr.. Thorpe
was serving an apprenticeship at the
printing trade with Mr.. Brashears,
on Louisiana avenne, who let him
off early enough each afternoon to
enable him to serve his customers.
Back in 1880 was a lively urchin,
skipping around the vicinity of the
old Willard Hotel, selling The Even
ing Star" says another old Washing
tonian. William Z. Grimshaw
And goodly number were sold
each day by yours truly" he adds,
who then resided in one of two old
brick structures, still standing, on
25th street between H and I streets
northwest Mr.. Grimshaw says that
he is a brother of the late J. AL
bert Grimshaw, whose limitations OF
cats and whose concertina playing
were widely and deservedly famous
throughout "Foggy Bottom"
i. Peter Mesmer. address not given,
writes that he sold Stars during the
civil war and until 1869. A. j. Long,
now residing in Cherrydale, Va, says
that he carried a route in George
town during the early 90s, which ran
from the post Office, on 31st street,
clear TO Woodley road. The papers
were brought in Star wagons to the
Pennsylvania avenue Rock Creek
bridge, whence the carriers separated
to cover their various territories
The last home Mr.. Long had to visit
was known as the cleveland place"
During his daily walk he served
many of the famous old mansions of
George town. He was also one of the
early choir boys of st. Albans Parish
Church. Later he also sold Stars on
the street and says he recalls with
pleasure" his struggles to get his
papers early and his chase to reach
his chosen stand. Then, as ever
since" he concludes, "The Star has
been my fayorite Washington paper"

Post Office Boys
To Get NeaU Seats
In Their Trousers

Special delivery boys of the
Washington city post office are
getting new seats to their
breeches this week
1t was discovered that the suits
:. recently purchased by the boys
were wearing out in the place
where most suits first show signs
Of giving way.
The manufacturer was called
in, with the result that he offered
to stand all the costs of having
new seats put in the trousers.
So the boys are lining up at a
tailor shop in the vicinity Of the
post office this week to have the
work done-all except one boy.
His trousers were sent back to
the manufacturers establishment,
in another city, and as yet he
neither has a new pair Of trousers
nor new seat.
That is why he is wearing
civilian trousers with his khaki
coat and cap.
