MRS. WILSON DECLARES LEAGUE
''MACNIFICENT' ON FIRST VISIT
Tributes to President and
Widow Given at Geneva
Assembly.

Pay Respects to Visitor
in Person.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
G + n E "A, September S.-Mrs
Woodrow Wilson is enthusiastic over
her first view of the League of Ma
tionS in action.
1T is magnificent, she said to
friends. after devoting the entire day
yesterday to watching the delibera.
tions of the first meeting of the sixth
assembly of the league, during which
Senator Raoul Dandurand OF Canada
was elected president and Premier
Pafnleve of France urged that the
council of the league call a confer
ence for the reduction of ornaments.
Statesmen from so lands were present.
The throng in the galleries stood
up when Mrs. Wilson entered. In a
simple black gown, she sat in the
rear of the auditorium. There was
loud applause when Premier Painleve
in his opening address as presiding
officer acknowledged her presence and
paid tribute to her husband.
In presenting Mrs. Wilson with a
bouquet and an address, the asso-
citation for Geneva's interests, COM
posed of citizens, praised her never
to-be-forgotten husband" the founder
of the League of Nations.
The address also paid tribute to "the
woman who was his faithful compan-
ion in the hours of anguish of the
terrible World War and who asSoci
ated herself wholeheartedly with his
generous initiative"
Mrs. Wilson was especially interest
ed when DR.. Edouard Bense, foreign
minister of Czechoslovakia, told her
that by spending four weeks at Ge-
neva each year he saw every foreign
minister in Europe and that many
questions were thus settled.

ton of members of the American Le-
gion, on the way TO Rome for a meet

Senators Capper of Kansas, Walsh

marked that the league was doing

SUBURBS GROWTH
PREDICTED BY BELL
Commissioner Sees City's
Future Development in
Area Outside Limits.

The bright future for Washington
Maryland and Virginia, as predicted
by Mcclellan & Junkersfeld, transpor-
tation engineers, is fully justified, in
the opinion of Engineer Commissioner
Bell.
Commenting on the forecast of the
engineers that there will be an ulti-
mate population of a million people
within the present city limits and
that substantial part of this devel-
opment will come relatively soon, Col.
Bell said:
Suburbs Developing Fast.
''If you consider the suburban area
just across the District line in Mary
land and Virginia, which is so closely
related to the life of Washington, 1
believe there will be a population of
a million in the whole metropolitan
area before very long.
These many communities in nearby
Maryland and Virginia are going to
develop even faster than the City of
Washington, and [ believe the Ma
tionaI Capital Park Commission will
serve as a guiding factor in the re-
gional planning of this entire area"
Col. Bell said it is undoubtedly true,
as Vice President Hanna of the Capt.
tai Traction Co. suggested yesterday,
that when Washington reaches the
million mark in population it will
have to think of subway transporta
ton. The Engineer Commissioner,
like Mr.. Hanna, however, was of the
opinion that the day of the subway
in Washington is still far in the
future.
Subway Far Ahead.
Col. Bell pointed out that, based on
past growth, it will take long time
for Washington to gather popula-
tion of a million within the District
boundaries. He indicated, however,
that he regards the surrounding
Maryland and Virginia communities
as an integral part of Washington
in considering future growth.
The second section of the report
Of the engineers will be made public
tomorrow and other sections will
follow next week. After all Of the
( findings have been made public the
facts contained in the reports will be
carefully studied both by the COM
mission and those interested in the
transportation lines to determine
whether there should be a merger of
the systems.

FORESTERS
FIND BODY
Mrs. Baker Of Stokesville, Lost Since
January 8-Identified BY Shoes

The disappearance of Mrs Martha
Moates Baker. wife of John Baker, of
Stokesville. who left home January
s last, to walk across the mountains
to her parents home in Pendleton
County. has been solved Her body
was found late Sunday in ravine in
Brushy Mountains by Federal Forest
ers. 1t is believed she lost her way
and was frozen to death while trying
to make her way over the Allegheny
Mountains.
The Augusta County authorities
were notified and they will hold an
inquest and doubtless determine the
cause of her death.
C. E. and Samuel Houdershell and
Arlie Smith, of the Forestry Service
were blazing trail across the noun
tains when they stumbled upon the
body of the missing woman Mr.
Smith identified the body by a pair
of shoes she wore BY coincidence
he was in store at Sugar Grove last
winter and saw Mrs Baker purchase
the shoes The shoes were the same
ones the woman's feet were eneased
in when found.
There was no evidence of foul play.
Her small grip was found alongside
her body. Her skull was about eight
feet from her body.
When Mrs. Baker left Stokesville
and did not show up at her parents
home in Pendleton County, searches
were made for traces of her, but none
could be found. 1t was then thought
she had met death by freezing in the
mountains as it was about the time
the bitter weather in January set in
Searchers were doubtless baked in
hunting for her body by the heavy
snow.
