MARIE, BACK IN U.S.,
TO VIEW OLD WEST
Queen Confident Loyalty to
Her Will Heal Breach
Aboard Train.
By the Associated Press.


MARIE TRAIN EN- ROUTE TO
SEATTLE. November Queen Ma
rie's train travelled back to the
United States today from Vancouver.
British Columbia. With the Queen con-
fident that the breach between Sam
uel Hill, her host on the Far Western
lap of her tour, and Maj. Stanley
Washburn. her special aide, would be
healed by the same elements that she
believes caused it-friendship and
loyalty to her.
Although Marie plans to take no
public notice of the dispute over pres
ent control of her travels. a spokes
man for the Queen indicated that she
expects the situation to be improved
when the royal train leaves Seattle
tonight for the East.
Major Agrees to Stay.
The solution is thought to lie I'm
the departure of Mr.. Hill at Seattle
and the retention of Maj. Washburn
as aide. The major has agreed to
remain with the party, at Marie's re
quest.
Marie regrets that the two men.
both her friends of World War days
and both anxious to make her tour
"a success, have been unable to pull
together. Her only suggestion to
them was that they share for a time
the responsibility of guiding the
party.
1t was her wish that Col. John II.
Carroll. official host to the Queen. and
Maj. WaShburn permit Mr.. Hill to
handle the entertainment program of
the Spokane-P Portland Seattle VanCOu-
yer leg of the Journey, and that
Washburn and Carroll resume their
regular roles after today.
Queen Greatly Disturbed.
Although disturbed by the contro-
versy, Marie was her usual calm self
as she received Vancouver's greetings
yesterday, apparently unaware that
the reception program itself was near
collapse until nearly the last minute.
Because of the dispute on the train
Vancouver officials were not advised
until late Thursday that the pro
gram previously arranged was &C
ceptable.
The first scheduled stop on today's
itinerary was Blaine. on the Cana
dian-American border, where Mr.. Hill
several years ago built q peace por-
tai, and which was dedicated by
President Harding. At Marie's own
request, she made an excursion to
the suburbs in the afternoon to In.
spect the new site of the University
Of British Columbia, a feature not In
cluded on the official program. which
consisted of a motor tour of the city
civic luncheon, reception by the Wom-
ans Canadian Club and a formal ban
quet.

TWO ARE BURNED
IN GASOLINE BLAST
Dry-Cleaned Curtains Ignited
/ in Electric Wringer-In-
| valid Rescued.

An attempt to dry gasoline -drench-
ed curtains in an electric Wringer in
the basement of 900 Maryland avenue

ouced an explosion and fire which
resulted in injury to two persons. one
of whom is in a critical condition at
Casualty Hospital the rescue of an
anvalid occupant of the house trap
ped on an upper floor, and approx
tmately $500 damage to the premises.
Police investigation revealed that
the explosion took place when the
electric wringer was being started to
dry the curtains, which had just been
cleaned with gasoline by MIR. and Mrs.
Amos Stoll, occupants of the house.
Machine Blown Across Floor.
The explosion blew the heav-' ash
Eng machine across the celia in a
sheet of flames. Mrs. Stoll was burn
ed severely about the head, arms,
hands, back and legs when her cloth
ing ignited, and her husband was
burned about the face, hands and
arms.
Policeman John o. Patton of No 9
precinct, who was on lis way to the
precinct station, half a block away,
when the fire started, graphically de-
ecribed the scene in his official report
RS follows:
about 4 o'clock, while returning
60 station to report off duty, saw
smoke and flames coming from the
windows of 900 Maryland avenue
northeast.
"As 1 got to the door, Mrs. Pauline
Etoll came running out Of the house
with most of her clothes burned off.
She was severely burned about the
face, arms, back and legs. l took my
coat off and wrapped it about her
and asked her if there was any one
else in the house.
"She said, Yes. On the third floor
there is an invalid l rushed up the
steps as far as the third floor, but
was forced to return because Of the
smoke. l then ran to the front of
the building, where | climbed on top
of bay window and into the top floor.
BY that time, No. 13 Truck arrived
with q ladder and l carried Mrs. Rose
Sphinx down the ladder and to the
reserve wagon. I ordered the driver
10 go to Casualty Hospital.
Baby Clinic Threatened.
Meanwhile, Mr.. and Mrs. Stoll had
been taken to Casualty Hospital for
treatment. Before Patton returned
from the hospital Mrs. Charlotte
Weir, Ga years old, mother of Mrs.
Sphinx, had reached the bottom Of
the ladder with the assistance of fire
men.
The smoke and flames Immediately
following the explosion created
near panic in the building. giving the
appearance of more serious fire
than it ultimately was found to be.
Immediately over the basement, the
first floor of the premises is devoted
to the child hygiene clinic of the
Health Department. Three babies
being examined there at the time
were brought TO safety by attendants.
Policeman j. |. Hickey of the
ninth precinct. who was aiding in
lighting the fire. sustained a cut on
the hand and received first-aid
treatment at the clinic.

COMMUNITY CHEST
DISSENT IS HEARD
Rev. DR.. John 0'Grady Says
Local Catholic Charities
Will Not Join Plan.
The Catholic charities Of Washing

The Catholic charities Of Washing.
ton will not join with other welfare
organizations Of this city in fostering
establishment Of community chest
for the financing Of all social service
enterprises here, according to a state
ment issued today by Rev. DIR. John
O'Grady, director of the Catholic or.
ganization.
Declaring that in most instances
community chests established in other
cities had failed to give adequate sup
port for the work needed, DIR. O'Grady
stated that the effect of the plan
would be that the strong welfare or.
ganizations would be handicapped by
having to bear the burdens Of the
weaker ones.
Questions Limited Control.
DR.. O'Grady also questions the ad-
Visibility of placing the control Of the
many welfare societies in the hands
OF q few men. His statement, in part.
follows:
Most community chests are finding
1t increasingly difficult year by year
to obtain their quotas. Two of the
most successful community chest or
CARNATIONS in the country-Roches.
ter, N. Y, and Cincinnati, Ohio,-failed
to reach their quotas last year. In
poth cities. social organizations have
found it practically impossible to OBJ
tain any increases in their budgets.
"In Cincinnati. relief organizations
have been hard pressed for funds, but
cannot obtain any increase in their
budgets. On the other hand, several
organizations have been carried along
oy the Cincinnati community chest.
which left to themselves would have
been unable to raise their own funds
and In the normal course Of events
would have gone out Of business, In
very few cities that know Of are the
community chests keeping up with
the needs of the relief organiza tions.
Are the stronger organizations Of
Washington ready to commit them.
selves to system under which they
must remain at a standstiu forever?
Experience in other cities has shown
1t is very difficult to obtain any in
creases in the budgets of the first
year. Are all agencies in this city
ready to place themselves under the
control OF few people who are natu-
rally seeking to extend their domin-
ion?
Follows Sounding Out?
dorsey Hyde says he knows OF
only 12 cities in which community
chests have been a failure. know
Of only a few cities in which the
chests have been really successful
from a social work standpoint.
'If the Associated Charities, Citi.
zens' Relief and their followers want
to form an association for joint
financing of their work nobody will
question their right to do so. Others
are equally within their right when
they object to calling such an organi-
cation a community chest"
DR.. O'Grady's statement followed
the decision Of the Citizens Relief AS
sociation board Of managers Wednes.
day to sound out sentiment here
again on the community chest idea.
His reference to Mr.. Hyde bore on

Encouraging Signs

q IGNS appear that the country obtained
~ some enlightenment from that trial at
Dayton, Tenn. There seems to be definite
swing away from the attempt to put educa-
ton in a strait jacket
Following what is described as the most
brilliant debate heard in the old Capitol of the
Confederacy in years, the Virginia legislators
voted overwhelmingly against bill providing
for compulsory daily reading of the Bible in
every grammar and high school of the State.
In the hearings that preceded this action, the
principal speech against the bill was made by
the pastor Of the First Baptist Church of Rich
mond.
And it was in Richmond, remember that
a group of fanatics no longer ago than last
summer, almost succeeded in barring statue
of Christopher Columbus because they didn t
like the church to which it is presumed the
great explorer belonged.
School superintendent, city, county and
State, to the number of nearly IL, 900, meeting
in Washington in annual convention, dis
cussed that Tennessee anti-evolution law.
School superintendent, in most communities,
are compelled to know something ABOUT poll
ties as well as education. Some elected
directly by the people and the rest are chosen
by school boards elected by the people. Nat
urally, they seldom defy public opinion. So
when these thousands of superintendent adopt
a resolution declaring against legislative inter
ference with the pursuit of scientific studies,
their action has significance.
At this same convention the superintend-
ents were asked if they would approve of a
program of religious education for public
school children, conducted by regular teachers
as part of the course of study. Eighty per cent
of the superintendent said they would not.
The same question was put to SCI Protestant
ministers and exactly the same proportion
voted against such instructions.
Perhaps the world do move, after all.
