Capital to Observe
Ar111istice Day By
UnveiLir1g Monument

WASHINGTON Nov 10 (P.-Nine
years will have rolled by at IL o'clock
tomorrow morning, French time, since
the strident barking of the guns along
the western front ceased for the first
time in more than four years of de-
struction and slaughter.
An emotional outburst of thanks
giving that the struggle was over
swept the world on that day. Then
the vexing business of rebuilding
among the economic and physical
wreckage left by the World war began.
It is still going on but with slow
ness at painful variance with the
rushing speed of the war destruction
that had overwhelmed the contending
powers.
AS in the past, since that first
wild outbreak of relief that the
fighting had ended on the original
Arrnistice day, there will be no for
NAL celebration in America of this
ninth anniversary Only once, in
1921. when the Unknown Soldier was
entombed at Arlington national ceme-
terry, has the day been marked for
Americans by an organized and ma
ton wide tribute to its significance.
Yet tomorrow a new touch will be
given the day so far as Washington
is concerned with the unveiling at
Arlington of the Cross of Sacrifice
erected there by the government OF
Canada to the memory of Americans
who fell in the ranks of Canadas
fighting legiors in France
Canadian and American troops
with their colors and bands, again
will march side bv side for moment
in that brief ceremonv among the
Virginia hills, and President Coolidge
after laying wreath on the IN
| lnown's tomb. will entertain the
! Canadian CONTINGENT at luncheon and
reception at the White House.

Charge of Criminal Con-

on Plea of Self-Incrinlina-
tiOn

! WASHINGTON, Nov, 10 R - A
! charge of criminal conspiracy TO i'm
fluence the verdict of the Fall-Sinclair
Teapot Dome trial jury was laid today
against another of Harry r. Sinclair's
associates, Sheldon Clark, wealthy
Chicago spC~y and oil man
Following in the footsteps of Henry
Mason Day, vice president of the Sin
clair Exploration company, Clark
stood upon the ground Of posSible
relf animation in refusing to tes-
tify in the grand jury investigation Of
the oil jury scandal
Like Day, he was hustled from the
grand jury room across the street to
the office Of United States Commits
sioner Needham G. Turnage, where the
complaint was laid and bail bond Of
$4,000 required and furnished.
Clark was sauve and smiling when
he went into the grand jury room for
the second time shortly after noon. He
was red of face when he came out q
few minutes later and his apparent
nervousness increased during the pro-
ceedings before the commissioner.
An immediate hearing was demandx
cd by Clark, but Neil Burkinshaw, as
sistant district attorney in charge of
the government investigation, object
cd, the upshort of a sharp argument
being the fixing Of November 25 as
the time for the preliminary examina-
tion into the government charges.
Clark was accompanied by his at
torney, Morgan Beech, until recently
clerk of the District Of Columbia SUI
preme court, and Chicago friend,
George L. Schein. Both attorney and
friend argued with the commissioner
about an early hearing. Clark finally
injected himself into the discussion,
"I'm the man who Is arrested, why
can't I do some talkipg?" he asked,
II have to carry this thing on my
shoulders until hearing and If you
were in my place ?(tSirning to Burk-
inshaw) you would feel as do and
want to get over with as quickly as
| possible"
After the date for the hearing was
fixed, Clark had to wait in the rather
dingy little office for IS minutes until

Actors and Managers Ap-
pear Before Congress
siOnal Committee
PLAY HANDICAP
Road Shows Decreased One
Third Due to Ticket Tax,
Stated.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 R1--Inter-
woven with an appeal for elimination
of the miscellaneous, taxes remaining
from the war, testimony at the house
ways and means tax hearings told to-
day story of the gradual decline of
popularity Of the spoken drama
throughout the country.
Representatives for actor and man
agerial associations asked the COM
mittee at its concluding public session
to specifically provide for repeal OF
the 10 per cent tax on theatre tickets
costing 75c or more when it takes up
the writing of revenue bill behind
closed doors next week.
The spokesmen for the stage were
joined by other witnesses in seeking
repeal of the excise, Lewis, specially the
taxes on baseball admissions, club dues
and wines, and a revision of the rates
on cigars.
The testimony told how in recent
years the footlights one by one had
been turned off in cities throughout
the country and how, in the words of
William A. Brady, speaking for theat-
rical enterprises in New York, the
popularity of the actor had given way
in favor Of personages such as Babe
Ruth and Gene Tunney.
Frank Gilmore, of New York City,
speaking for two Actors Equity as
sociations, said that as a young man
he had played each night for six weeks
in Texas, adding:
Tonight I don't believe you could
find a single spoken drama in the
whole of the great state"
,"I doubt if half of the actors pay
income taxes" he continued, "and the
average working year of an actor in
New York now is only % weeks. :"

General Stephan proposes that the
Pension Once, which was erected as
a memorial to the veterans of the Civil
War, be used in a larger sense as a
memorial building. as housing not
only for the National Guard, but as
a meeting place and office space for
the various veteran organizations of
ali wars.
The speaker cited the value of the
training of Americas youth as de-
fense army and pointed to the valuable
service rendered by National GuarS
members during the World War.
Norman Kal, president of the Ad-
vertising Club, pledged the support of
the members of the club to the move
ment to provide an adequate armory
for the Guard.
In addition to Gen. Stephan. special

GEN. STEPHAN ASKS
BACKING GUARD
Ad Club Warned Future of
Reserve Depends on
Attitude Here.

Pointing 10 the urgent need of ade-
o,ate housing and support for the
district National Guard Gen. Anton
Stenhan. head of the local Guard. yes
ter,iay. i'm addressing the Advertising
Club at it's luncheon meeting at the
CITY Club. declared that in a large
measure the future of the citizens
military reserve throughout the coun-
try depends upon the maintenance OF
the Guard here.
The District National Guard is the
only Federal citizens military force in
the United States, said Gen. stephan,
and should ii he abandoned, the Varl-
Gus states might question the justice
of their having to maintain Il National
Guard which was prescribed in the
National Guard defense act.
FederalIy Controlled.
A recent ruling by the Attorney
General of the United States. the
speaker pointed out. held that the
local Guard was subject to Federal
control and maintenance. being in
Federal district, rather than subject
TO municipal supervision. Estimates
for the upkeep of the Guard. he added.
are submitted to Congress along with
those for the District only as means
of procedure and not because they are
a part of the District budget. The
Commissioners have no power to raise
or lower the estimates, he said.
The National Guard here and
throughout the country must be main
tanned as essential to the protection
of the Nation in time of war because
of the low maximum size Of the Regu
lar Army.
General Stephan made the assertions
in reiterating his plea that the local
Guard be provided with an armory
adequate for the drilling and other
activities of the organization. He said
renewed effort would be made dur
ing the coming Congress to have the
old Pension Office Building, now used
by the Controller Generals office,
made available for use by the Ma
tional Guard. The large interior court
in the building makes it especially well
suited to the training purposes of the
Guard

to be studying something. And the
