BISHOP DELEGATES
Toe H LIGHT HERE
War Organizations Lamp of
Maintenance Lighted First
Time in America.

( With symbolic ritual the Lamp of
Maintenance of the pioneer Washing
{ ton Branch of Toe II was lighted last
night for the first time in the United
Z States and dedicated by Bishop James
8 E. Freeman at the altar of Bethlehem
Chapel in Washington Cathedral.
The din Of thunder and the flash of
lightning only served to make the
ceremony more impressive, for the
! voices of the assemblage, raised in
prayer and song, and the dim altar
candles blended with the magnif1cence
! of the storm outside.
The service was conducted by Rev.
Z Hugh Z. Sawbridge, padre of the Toe
S Fl branch in Leicester, England, as
/ sisted by Coleman Jennings, jobmas-
ter of the local branch at 219 c street;
Eddie Steffie, branch secretary, and
Herman l.. Pritchard, warden. After
the lights in the chapel were eXtin-
guished, Craig Wylie, the first Wash
ington member of Toe III, lighted the
{ bronze catacomb lamp from an altar
candle. Tapers which the local Toe II
members carried were then lighted in
turn. The lamp was given in memory
of the late Col. William Hopkins and
First Lieut.. James Heron Hopkins
and all the "elder brethern."
The purpose of the organization,
which has branches all over the
world, Is:
To preserve and transmit to future
generations the traditions of fellow
ship and service manifested by all
ranks during the Great War, thereby
encouraging its members, through the
common Christian life of the family.
To encourage among the members
of the association the desire to per-
form and to facilitate the performance
of all kinds of social service as be-
tween and for the benefit of all people.
To promote among all people wide
human interest in the lives and needs
of their fellows, and to foster in every
man a sense Of responsibility for the
well being of his fellow men.
To mitigate by habit of mind and
word and deed the evils of class and
race consciousness, and to endeavor
to create a body Of public opinion free
of all social antagonisms.
Toe III was the way soldiers during
the World War referred to house at
Poperinghe. 1t was army jargon,
taken from the telephone signal code,
wherein Toe stood for the letter 7. |
Thus Toe II stood for Talbot House, |
and Talbot House was the name of the |
happiest gathering place on the whole |
war front. Punch described it as "a |
corner of Heaven brought into the |
hell of mems and officers lives" It |
was not merely a canteen. but q |
house; not a recreation room, but a |
home for ''everyman," where all /
ranks experienced the same welcome. |
After the ceremonies about 100 who /
attended the dedication greeted Ram |
sey Macdonald, former Labor pre- /
mier of Great Britain, at the home |
of Mr.. Jennings. Mr.. Macdonald, |
president Of Toe H, made a short adj |
dress.

RIO JANEIRO, July 21.-Eugens
Dieudonne. only living member OF the
internationally known pre-war band OF
Partisan apaches, led by the dreaded
criminal, Jules Bonnet, the demon
chauffeur" recently escaped from the
penal colony in French Guiana. Thls
fact became known yesterday through
his recapture by the Brazilian ponce
in the state of Para. Northern Brazil.
Dieudonne arrived here yesterday IN
custody of the police. The notorious
apache, who was serving a lie SEN
tence, will be turned over TO the
French consul.
Dieudonne declared that he was the
victim of a mistake on the part of the
authorities, and that he never was
member of Bonnot's band. He was
unjustly sentenced to life imprlson-
ment. he said. which later was re
duced to Is years penal servitude IN
French Guiana.
He was denied any freedom ana de-
termined to escape. He obtained a

AIRMEN CONVICTED
OF SMUGGLING PLOT
jury Takes But 10 Minutes to Find
Three Guilty of Conspiracy
to Bring Aliens in.

Los ANGELES. July 2t.-A jury
in Federal Court here yesterday took
Just 10 minutes to convict Emmett
L4ongbrake and John j. O'Brien. COM
mercial aviators, and Burleigh Il.
CLANCY. manager of the Eagle Air
port, of charges of conspiring to
smuggle Chinese from Mexico into
the United States by airplane.
Longbrake and O'Brien, tried in the
same court last week, were acquitted
of specific charges of smuggling six
Chinese by airplane.
Counsel for the convicted men an
nounced n new trial would be asked
when they are brought into court
Monday for sentence. The flyers face
maximum sentence of two years.
The men were arrested April 80
Immigration officers stationed at the
Eagle Airport, near here, took Long
brake and O'Brien into custody as
they landed their planes. But when
CLANCY landed his plane few min
utes later. Arthur Daugherty, a stu
dent aviator. and a passenger in the
CLANCY plane was killed by shots
fired by the officers. The officers de-
clared the plane started to take off
again when ordered to halt.
No aliens were found in the planes,
but Federal officers charged that the
Chinese had been landed somewhere
en- route from the border to Los
Angeles.

life until he attracted the attention
of the London police through a shoot
ing affair in which woman was con.
cerned.
The evidence against Dieudonne
always has been challenged by his
friends and attorneys, and since the
news of his escape reached France
there has been a campaign in some
of the newspapers for his retrial.
They always come back" said Po-
lice Commissioner Bayard, who ar
rested Mourey after spirited re-
volver battle. "Dieudonne is a brainy
chap, but he couldn't get away"
1t is asserted that the presence of
Dieudonne in Brazil was known to
the Paris police and that they were
responsible for the stories printed
that the convicted bandit was dead
this in the hope that he would take
bigger chances and expose himself to
easier capture.
Late last night the ministry of justice
| was closed and il was impossible to
ascertain whether Dieudonne would
be taken directly back to the penal
settlement or brought to Paris for a
retrial However, with the influences
working in his behalf, it appeared GER
tain that the Dieudonne case will
become another of Frances causes

few minutes Of play, when the FROM
berg girls found the hoop for three
consecutive baskets, tieing the score.
A foul on Fromberg gave Edgar
chance to cinch the game but the shot
fell short and the game ended tie,
rs all. In the boys game Fromberg
took the lead by scoring the first bas-
ket. At the end of the first quarter
Fromberg had one score to the good.
During the second period Fromberg
tailed six scores more than the locals,
which lead they held throughout the
remainder of the game. Final score
was 10 to 10 in favor of the visitors.
While Edgar put up good game, yet
they were playing under great ham

Byrd, Edgar star guard. The team
were unable to get to going at their
usual gate, this being the first game
that they had played without Byrd.
While the local team will be somewhat
weaker with the loss of Byrd, yet we
will have team that should make
very good showing against other
schools of the county. 1t is hoped that
there will be way made clear by the
State Athletic Board that Byrd may
be reinstated to the game for the bal
