VANDALS DAMAGE
CITY MEMORIAL TO
WORLD WAR DEAD
Copper Shields at Base of
Trees Are Destroyed
by Decorators.
BULLETHOLE FOUND
IN ONE OF MARKERS
Fragments of Broken Whisky Bot
ties Are Discovered Around
Some Plates.

Wanton dissertation of Washington's
only memorial to the District World
War dead was reported today in the
local department Of the American
Legion.
Along upper Sixteenth street in 1920,
the District of Columbia Department OF
the American Legion, as simple trib-
ute to the memory of those Washington
men who made the supreme sacrifice for
their country, planted 568 trees. A
and the service OF one of the dead, was
set in concrete and placed at the foot
of each tree.
On an inspection tour of the trees
and markers yesterday, William Frank
lin, American Legion member, found
that many of the latter had been ma
liciously destroyed.
Is Are Missing.
Eighteen of the copper shield were
found to have been chiseled from their
base. Some were gone, but others were
found nearby, battered and twisted by
blows from a hammer.
One of the shields was found with a
small hole just above the name of the
man whose memory it was designed to
perpetuate. Some one had fired bull
let through it.
Careless truck drivers are believed to
have been responsible for the destruc-
ton of 10 more markers. Heavy
wheeled trucks, apparently backed over
the curbing, had crushed the concrete
bases and crumbled the copper markers.
At other points fragments of broken
whisky bottles were found clustered
around the shields. Franklin said he
believed the bottles had been thrown
at the markers from passing auto
mobiles.
One Marker Disappears Four Times.
The marker on the tree planted in
memory of William Strong, jr., nephew
of former District Commissioner Mac
farland, has been chiseled from its base
four times. It was replaced each time,
at a cost Of about $3.50 to the Legion,
only to vanish again in the same man
ner.
In the block where the entrance to
Walter Reed opens on Sixteenth street
all but two Of the markers have disap-
peared. Others were gone from various
points along the line of trees, which ex-
tends from Varnum street to Alaska
avenue.
The police have been making diligent
efforts to apprehend the vandal.

SQU|ER AWARDED
BROADCAST PATENT
Device for Telephone Use in
CongeSted Cities Given
Tests.

Mai Gen. George o. Squier, retired
has had his claim as inventor of the
monophone, an instrument for radio
broadcasting over telephone wires, ap-
proved by the United States Patent
Office, he announced yesterday.
Law Examiner H. H. Jacobs recently
issued an opinion to this effect, thereby
settling dispute which centered on a
patent issued in England and the
United States which represented the
Bell interests in the case.
Apparatus Tested.
Mai. Gen. Squier, who lives at 240O
Sixteenth street, returned to Washing
ton yesterday from Freeport, ILL.,, where
he inspected his monophone in opera
ton experimentally.
THE principle of the monophone Is
simplicity ITSELF" Gen. Squier said. Its
installation in its simplest form at a
telephone switchboard does not require
even a screw driver and although it is
a one-way telephone, the housewife may
change 1t from room to room by using
a standard lamp Stocket operated in the
same manner as any other electrical
appliance.
Easy Distribution.
with the monophone an entire city
can be saturated with multiple super
programs with but a few watts of
power, instead of kilowatts as required
in space radio.
1.-THE monophone employs band OF
frequencies never before used either in
space radio or in the so-called carrier
art as developed in the Bell system
This band also is entirely above and re-
moved from the band used by wired
radio on power lines for broadcasting
service.
Space radio is not suited to cities
Of congested steel skyscrapers and II
must be reserved for the open country
for aviation and for ships at sea-" Gen
Squier declared.

TO TOP
REVENUE BUILDING
Feature Will Be One of Most
Unusual in Whole Triangle
Program.

On top the colonnade of "a marbel
columns now being erected on the i'm
posing B street front of the Internal
Revenue Building will be constructed a
promenade from which may be obtained
a most impressive view of the Mall.
the Lincoln Memorial, Arlington Me-
mortal Bridge and Arlington Cemetery
with its monumental structures, the
Lee Mansion and Memorial Amphi-
theater.
Progress has been rapid on the colon
made Thirteen of the "a marble col
umnS, each 40 feet high, have been
completed, and topped with their stone
caps" The remainder are well under
way. Long stones known as ''sofits"
will be laid on top of the marble
columns connecting them and then
more structural steel will be erected
and tied into the steel of the building
to act as support for the promenade.
Whether the promenade will be open
ed by the Government to visitors gen.
orally as one of the sights of the city
will be decided later, but the prone
made will provide one of the most I'M
usual architectural features of its kind
in the whole triangle building program
and will afford a beautiful view of one
of the most picturesque sections of the
National Capital.
Marble From Two States.
The marble for the colonnade, al
though all white and of the same tex
ture, came from two separate States,
Tennessee and Georgia, and from two
different companies. Some of the COM
plete columns came from one State, the
remainder from the other, and each
column, made of nine different pieces,
was assembled complete to see If 1t was
perfect before 1t was shipped in Sepa-
rate pieces to Washington.
In addition, there are also some
marble columns III other parts OF the
Internal Revenue Building, four free
standing" columns on the Tenth street
face and eight more engaged" columns
fastened into the building on the quar-
ter circle face of the building at the
corner of Twelfth and c streets. There
are also on the building at various
places "a pilaSterS, or thin marble pill
lars of fiat faces, fastened to the wall.
Most of the building Is made of lime
stone.
Rich Effect Being Achieved.
In the main entrance, on the B street
front, a rich effect is being achieved
in the two-story lobby with mezzanine,
where workmen are now installing
stone, including a Cardiff green marble
base and walls of so-called Mankato
stone of irregular surface and a So
called warm gray" color.
Floors Of the corridor are now being
laid in terrazo. There are IA miles OF
corridors in the building.
Plaster work is well under way, the
first floor being virtually completed,
and workmen are now plastering the
second floor.
Plans still point to completion of the
building IA months ahead of schedule,
so that the Internal Revenue Bureau
can move in next July /, the beginning
of the next fiscal year.
