day morning that colored man, pre-
sumed to be delegate to the Right
Worthy Grand Council, l. o. of St.

John Mitchell, Jr., informed the
officer that prompt service would be
the result and that he would get in

IN MEMORIAM.

In loving memory of my dear
daughter, Dorothy Neal, who depart
ed this life six years ago today,
August 81, 1921.
A faithful child has gone to rest,
Her fond, true heart is still;
Her hands that always helped me
Now lie in deaths cold chill.
Life is lonesome, home is sad,
Our hearts are filled with pain;
1t feels like we will never know
A happy day in life again.
How sad today our troubled hearts,
How dim our eyes with tears;
For death has robbed us of the one
We thought was ours for years.
What happy hours we once enjoyed
When we were all together;
A shadow over our life is cast,
My daughters gone forever.
Her devoted mother,
Jamie NEAL.

Accused of Murder.

Coroner Charles H. Keever today
slated Mrs. Edna Workman, 33. of
A S. fremont Ave. on a murder
charge in connection with the death
of William Blakowski, 33, Ft. Ben
Jamin Harrison private.
Keever said evidence indicated
Mrs. Workman was instrumental in
administering poison to Blakowski
in an alleged suicide pact. She
was held to the Marion County
grand jury.
Blakowski, who died at the fort
hospital Tuesday, told police she had
given him poison when he asked for
a headache remedy, but later ad-
mitted they had agreed on a suicide
pact since his enlistment in the
army prevented their marriage.
Mrs. Workman will recover, city
hospital physicians said.

British Given Blame
BY HERBERT LITTLE

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-British
unwillingness to abandon any Brit
ish cruiser strength was blamed
here today for collapse Of the Ge-
neva naval parley.
The breakdown OF the Geneva
conference today probably ended
the un-emitting efforts Of President
Coolidge toward international naval
limitation in the interests of peace
and economy, which he began
shortly after he took ONCE four
years ago.
Drives for increased numbers OF
10,000-ton cruisers are foreseen in
the Seventieth Congress this winter,
but most observers here believe Mr..
Coolidge will not sanction, and may
oppose, any definite big Navy" pro-
gram.
Increased appropriations to carry
out construction work on eight
cruisers of the 10,000-ton class, con-
tracted for and building, are re-
garded as fairly certain.
President Coolidge called the con-
ference early this year. The Ameri-
can Government first invited Great
Britain, Japan, France and Italy,
but the two last named refused to
send official delegates.
