Speaking to the Children of the
American Revolution at the Tomb
of the Unknown Soldier of the
AAmerican Revolution today, on
THE anniversary Of the famous
ride of Paul Revere at Lexington
Col. Julien E. Yates. chief OF
chaplains of the Army, sounded
a call to the youth of the land
to patriotic duty inspired by their
forefathers. He said:
at is inspiring to see that
you, Children of the American
Revolution, are already begin
ming to see the vision Of patri-
otto duty which those heroes
saw; that your hands are al
\ ready stretched forward, ready
70 take the banners from the
runners who are now on the
race course when they have
finished that course.
1.-THE hope Of our country lies
In the youth of the land, and
YOU cannot too early begin to
assume a share of those re-
spOnsibiIitieS which will soon be
wholly yours. 1t is well for
you to remember that many
who gave their lives in the War
: of independence were no older
than you who are here today.
LET us here and now, in the
presence Of this sacred dust. re-
dedicate ourselves to a more
fervent patriotism, to a more
loyal adherence to those princi.
pIes that have made us great
in the past, and to a determine
ton that we will pass on to
those who shall come after us
the torch of liberty, justice.
and brotherhood, which they of
/ that valiant past have lighted
and passed on to u.s."

TWO END LIVES;
ONE IS BRIDE;

Two persons, one a 23-year-old
bride, yesterday took their own
lives by inhaling gas fumes.
When Isobel Moore, the eight
year-old sister of Mrs. Grace Vir-
ginia Chapel Weeks, %. entered
her home in the 100 block
Nineteenth Pl. N. E., yesterday
she smelled gas. An investigation
led her to the kitchen where she
found her sister lying on the
floor, the gas jets Of the stove
open.
Mrs. Weeks was the bride Of
few months of James Weeks, an
insurance agent, and left no
notes. Friends could ascribe no
reason for the act. Coroner j..
Ramsay hewitt issued a certificate
of suicide.
Nothing wrong with what
was done today. l leave every
thing 1 own to my wife Mrs.
E. v. Campbell"
This note was found beside the
lifeless body of James Milford
Campbell, a Capital Traction Com
pany employee, in his home in
Park Lane, Va. Get jets open on
the kitchen stove completed the
story for investigators.

SENATORS
Resolution to Probe Shipping

Jurist to Wreck Party

The fight against confirmation
OF Judge John j. Parker, Of North
Carolina, as an associate Supreme
Court justice, and pending in.
qulr1eS into the management of
ne Shipping Board and leasing
81 temporary poStofficeS provided
administration leaders in the
senate today with grave political
problems.
One prominent Republican
senator. who Endorsed Parker for
the post before the American
Federation Of Labor and the
Association for the Advancement
OF Colored People announced their
opposition, said he expected IL
Administration Senators to vote
against Parker If the nomination
were brought to a vote. He said
SeftortS would be made to get
Parker to ask for the withdrawal
OF his name. The Senator said:
Would Wreck Party
"The Republican party can
be wrecked by this appoint
ment. The negroes have been
Republican since the Civil War
and they are now organized
and sOlidIy against Parker's
:, confirmation. We throw them
out Of the party by confirming
/ him. There is not Senator in
? p border State or i'm Ohio.
Indiana or Illinois who can
vote for his confirmation and
be reelected"
Democratic leaders meanwhile
said they expected Parker's nomi-
nation to be rejected because of
his labor record"
The worries Of Administration
leaders were only increased by
] demands for final votes on the
Blaine and Mcclellan resolutions,
each proposing to investigate a
b separate department of the Gov
eminent. Both resolutions have
been favorably reported by COM
T1ittees thus inSuring their
adoption when voted upon by
the Senate.
Investigate POstOffices
The Blaine resolution, spon-
sored by the Wisconsin Senator,
would authorize a special inquiry
into all the Governments tenn
porary postoffice leases.
The Mcclellan resolution would
direct another special inquiry
into affairs of the United States

Against Alleged Slayer

Attorneys for Dexter Churchill
Dayton. 25-year-old accused slayer
Of his sweetheart, Marjorie O'Den-
nell, today attacked the validity
Of the present Grand Jury which
is contemplating a tirst-degree
murder charge against him.
Dayton is already under nidict-
ment by the Grand Jury which
had for one Of its members a
woman pensioner Of the Govern
ment, and a plea in abatement to
the indictment has been filed.
The action taken today by
Attorneys Daniel S. Ring ond
Harvey Cobb is known as a chal-
lenge to the array Of the Grand
Jury and serves the purpose OF
a plea in abatement before an
indictment is found.
Service Of women on grand
juries is attacked in the chal-
lenge, and it is commended, as in
the recent pleas filed in the case
Of Policeman Swortzell, that even
though it may be legal for women
to serve on petit juries, unless the
law specifically procides eligibility
fc grand jury service also, they
have no legal right to be mem
bers of the inquisitorial body.
The method Of drawing the
jurors is also attacked in the chal-
lpenge. as we'll as the fact that
the drawing took place in the
room Of the Jury Commission in
the Courthouse and not in pub
lie place. as the law provides.

on q subway or underpass be-
meath the main line Of the Bal
timore g. Ohio Railroad at Kear-

learned here today.
The action Of the railroad COM
pany was a result of the courts

stated.
The group protesting the clos
ing of the crossing declare that
such would reduce the value Of
properties there, which included
a creamery. Preparations to be-
