Warm weather Of Washington's
Spring and early Summer is expected to
induce members of the House during

another matter to their farm relief

House members annually engage in q

These base ball games are always
mighty struggles and In presidential

ARMY ABANDONS
PLANS FOR CHAPEL
Proposal of Boston Financier
to Build Memorial at Fort
Myer Is Dropped.

The plan of Frederick H. Prince, Bos-
ton financier, to build at his own ex-
pense handsome chapel and mortuary
at Fort Myer, Va, in memory of his
son, Norman Prince, killed during the
World War while fighting with the La
fayette EScadrille, has been definitely
abandoned by Army officials, it was
learned at the War Department today.
Neither War Department officials nor
Mr.. Prince would make any explanation
of the decision to abandon this project,
which aroused widespread interest in
Washington and the Nation two years
ago.
Proposal Approved in 1927.
In January, 1927, Mr.. Prince applied
to the War Department for permission
to build the memorial, stating that he
was willing to spend about $500, 900 on
the structure. Col. Hanford MacNider,
then Assistant Secretary of War, and
Maj. Gen. B. F. Cheatham, quartermas-
ter general of the Army, approved the
plan. On their recommendations, Sec
rotary of War Davis lent his approval.
After inspection of the reservation by
@. M. Gen. Cheatham and post
officers, a site was selected on a
plateau overlooking the post parade
ground near the main west entrance to
Arlington Cemetery. The site was ap-
proved by Army officials, Mr.. Prince
and by his architect, Ralph Adams
Cram, now in charge Of completion of
the Cathedral of st. John the Divine in
New York City
Several months later the architects
design was submitted and approved by
those in charge.
Shortly thereafter, however, the Ma
tional Commission Of Fine Arts was
consulted regarding the artistic features
OF the proposed memorial and it de-
veloped then for the first time that
jected to the location selected for the
chapel.
They suggested as a substitute the
erection of a small mortuary chapel
on the Arlington reservation, preferably
alongside the proposed boulevard to the
cemetery from the Arlington Memorial
Bridge.
Prince Rejects Substitute.
This proposal. however, did not meet
with the approval of Mr.. Prince, who
contended, with other things, that
the two memorials had no relation to
SoSAA WHICH, WV CyulUOlS VI TWO
epochs entirely different in time and
character.
The breach between the commission
and Mr.. Prince widened, and finally the
latter sailed for Europe for an extended
trip. Architect Cram dropped all pro-
ceedings for the construction of the
memorial chapel on the Fort Myer
reservation.
The War Department kept the propo-
sition alive for some time, but today
announcement was made of its conclu-
sion that If Mr.. Prince concludes to
build the memorial, "it will not be To-
Gated at Fort Myer, Arlington Cemetery
or any other Government site in this
vicinity"
Gen. Summerall and other officers of
the Army expressed their regret at
abandonment of the project, but refused
to comment further.
The plans for the memorial were
designed to symbolic generally some of
the more artistic features of famous
French cathedrals that were under fire
during the World War. It was to serve
as a memorial to the son and his Amer
lean associates in the famous French
American air unit.

BRITISH SEE BENEFIT
 NV AMERICAN SLUMP

Theoretically that should mean an abundance of capital for new British enterprises and public improvements likely to stimulate employment.
 However, there are a few analy- sts of the situation who decline to be ver-enthusiastic, even though they admit the homecoming of gold from America is a healthy symptom.
 Money poured into industry, they point out, has to be skillfully poured into the right channels or it may have little effect on employment.
 Into about 250 of these new enter prises the public put, during 1928, approximately $370,00O 0Oo-this be- ing the cash value of the various stock issues at their price of issue. Before the boom was over many were selling at four and five times their price of issue.
 Now, however, the market value of these 250 issues aggregates less than $24,000,000, an aggregate slu!aa of 50 per cent from the high poins of 1928.

 It is quite the thing now to have six bridesmaids dressed in the sub dued cool weather tones of brown and beige instead of gay blues, pinks or yellows.
 One bride had an outdoor we'd ding. She was resplendent in shin ing white with long train and shim- mering veil that swirled about her feet life foam. Her six bridesmaids were modestly garbed in plain brown tailored dresses with small brown felt hats to match.
 The matron of honor and brides maids at another wedding wore e brown turbans and their flowers were tied with brown ribbons.

LONDON, Dec. 12-Old Dr. Wall Street, who has been curing many Americans of the speculative fever, ever here is looked upon as great surgeon.
 Some financial and political ob- servers in fact, seem to think that the amputations in America will help indirectly to cure Great Britain of her chronic and most grevious illness-unemployment.
 For unemployment n England they rightly or wrongly believe, is to some extent the fault of American spectators. Unquestionably the mar gin speculator in Wall Street, by his willingness to pay high rates for call money attracted much gold from England which otherwise might have remained here to finance a revival of British industry.
 Now that he has lost his appe- tite for high priced money, tic gold has been coming back this way.

EIGHT CONNECTS ARE

Other Rioters Await Fate as Result of Killing
 Chief Keeper

AUBURN, N. Y, Dec. 12.-Grim silence reigns today throughout the Auburn State Prison where yester- day the walls echoed to the battle of machine guns the crack of pis- tols and the taint of tear gas which today had been cleared from the prison corridors.
 The bodies of eight conv.cts gre lying in local undertaking par lors and they bear mute evidence to the testimony of craftsmanship of New York State Troopers who broke the back of the prison revolt and tore Warden Jennings and seven prison guards from the grasp Of the mutineers as Q finale to the battle of armed convicts to death or their cells.
 Tn the punishment cells of the prison a few of the rioters are left to contemplate what prison officials declared would be a cer- tain fate, trial for the murder of Principal Keeper George A. Durn- ford.
 Wounded guards and convicts are reported from the prison hospital to be in serious conditions and there is little hope for the recovery of some Of them at least.
