.SESQUI FACING
 LEGAL ACTIONS
Two to Close It Sundays and
 One for Back Wages

Philadelphia, Aug, IS LR - The board of directors of the sesqui- centennial international exposition were faced with three court actions today, two seeking to close the ex- position on Sundays, and another filed by a group of former en- ployes asking for back salaries.
 Determined to leave no stone un- turned in it's efforts to prevent continuance of the seven-day-a- week exposition, on the ground that it constitutes d violation of the Pennsylvania blue laws of 1794, the Methodist mems com mittee of 100 has applied for a writ of mandamus to compel the city officials to enforce the law.
 The application was made late yesterday to Judge Joseph H. Taulane, of common pleas court, who fixed August 26 as the date for the hearing.
 At the same time, Attorney General Woodruff announced at Harrisburg that August 26 has been set as the date for hearing proceedings instituted by the com- monwealth in the county court in that city against the association to close the commercial features of the exposition on Sundays. The commonwealth's action is in quo warranto which would require the association to show under what authority it operates such features on Sundays.
 The third suit against the asso- citation was one in Quity, filed in federal court by more than 100 musicians, actors, waitresses and maids who were employed in a German commercial exhibit that went into bankruptcy. The plain tiffs, most of whom are German nationals and brought to this country to lend atmosphere to the exhibit, claim that when the Nuremburg Haupt market, where they were employed, failed, they were left 10 shift for themselves with back pay owing them. They further claim that they were per- mitted to enter this country only on condition that they were not to be employed except at the exposi- tion. In their suit they ask thta the exposition authorities be ordered to liquidate the bankrupt concessions assets and that the money thus ob- tained be distributed among them in order that they may return to their native land.

VIRGINIA DARE
 MEMORIAL TODAY
Tribute to First White Child
 Born in North America

Roanoke, Island, N. C., Aug. IS P>-Meeting near the spot where the British ensign first was planted on the western continent, Sir Esme Howard, English ambassador to the United States, united with high government and military officials today in commemorating the birth S39 years ago of Virginia Dare, first English child born on American soil.
 Thousands were here for Dare county homecoming week, which eliminated in memorial services and the unveiling at Manteo of a mon ument marking the child's birth place. Sir Esme gave the principal address.
 Congressmen of North Carolina and Virginia, representatives of the governors of the two states, the Right Rev. Joseph B. Cheshire of Rayeigh, Bishop of the Episcopal diocese of North Carolina, and mem bers of the Roanoke colony memor-
 
 took part in the ceremonies.
 Reaching the island early this morning from Washington on a gov ernment coast guard vessel, the British ambassador and other mem bers of the memorial party, listened 10 an invocation by Bishop Thomas c. Darst, Of the East Carolina Epis- copal diocese.
 Sir Esme's address, given from a rostrum erected beneath the old oaks, which tradition says were the scene of the christening of the baby Virginia Dare, marked the first ac- tive participation by the British in the annual ceremonies.
 When Sir Esme had finished the assembled thousand sang the Tn ternational Anthem" specially com posed for the occasion.
 Bishop Cheshire, president of the Roanoke Colony Memorial associa- tion, closed the ceremonies with benediction.
 Virginia Dare was born shortly after the arrival of her parents at Roanoke Island with Sir Walter Daleigh's third expedition to the new continent, Virginia" Her mother was the daughter of Governor John White of the colony.
 Soon after the child's birth, White sailed for England and on his re- turn several years later found all trace of the settlers had disappear ed.
 Thereafter the settlement was known to tradition as "Raleigh's lost colony"
 One story has it that the settlers were merged with the Croatian h. dians, another that they were mas sacred. The latter theory is sup ported by the official report of the next expedition to Virginia, which had instructions to search for the Roanoke Island colony.

SALARY PAYMENTS TO
 BIELASKI ARE ILLEGAL
This Is Opinion of Congressman Gel. Ter, Comenting on Prohi-
 bition Work.

New York, Aug. IS Rl-Salary payments made to A. Bruce Bielas- Xxi, named in recent prohibition trial as under cover man" for the government, are illegal in the opin- ion of Representative Emmanuel Celler, who is informed that credits for them have been held up by the comptroller.
 q have to advise that the records of this office disclose no payments to him for salary as an officer or employe in the prohibition service, :" says a letter to MT. Celler from Comptroller McCarl in Washington
 Tt does appear, however, from vouchers in the treasury department that Walter A. Green, chief prohi- bition investigator. has during the past fiscal year made numerous pay ments to MT. Bielaski aggregating more than S15,000 for confidential information and assistance.
 "I may state that credit has not been allowed for any of these items, final action thereon having been suspended pending further investi- gation."
 Apparently McCarl is on Bielas- kis trail" says Representative Gel Ter in the New York World today. Every penny that has passed through his hands has been illegal ly disbursed. Either Chief Investiga- tor Walter A. Green, Gen. Andrews, the prohibition disbursing clerk. Bielaski himself, or all of them, may have to return to the govern- ment the sums that were spent in Bielaslzis illegal rampage"
 General Lincoln c. Andrews, chief of prohibition enforcement, said re- gently that the reason Bleiaskl $ name has not appeared on records was because he was a secret agent

 The secretary reiterated fatly the American objection already voiced at Geneva to any suggestion for an international supervision armament reduction.
 50 far as the United States is concerned, the execution of any in ternational agreement for arms limitation must depend upon good faith and respect for treaties," he said. We will not accept supervi- sion of any outside body or be sub- ject to inspection or control by for eign agencies.
 "Of course, if other powers desire to make such a regime of interna- tional control applicable to them- selves, it would be no concern of ours"
 The American delegation at Gene va. the secretary said, had not sought to limit discussion there in any way because it was there ito help and not to obstruct."
 We do not begrudge the time consumed in deliberation," he said. We desire sincerely that every practicable path be explored before the commission proceeds with it's work of drawing up the agenda for subsequent conferences where more definite measures of disarmament are to be considered.
 We believe strongly, however, that eventually, after exhaustive dis cussion of other proposasl, the soundness of the views which our representatives at Geneva have put forward will be recognized. However much a general universal scheme may attract the thoughts of man. kind, we fear that a scheme ac- ceptable to all nations cannot be achieved, and that if we wait for it's elaboration and adoption we may defer indefinitely any hope of dis armament"
