WAR MEMORIAL
UNWILLING
NOV. Il
Arlington Stone and Tablet
To Be Unveiled in Clarendon
Amid Elaborate Ceremonies

Exercises attending the unveil-
ing and dedication of the large
memorial, erected in memory OF
Arlington county men who lost
their lives in the world war, will
be held on Arrnistice Day in the
public square, Clarendon, Va.
The exercises are under auspices
of the Arlington Post, No. 1913,
American Legion.
The memorial of brown stone
and bearing a bronze tablet with
the names Of the dead, was plan
ned shortly after the war at a
mass meeting held on the court
house grounds. At that time a
collection was started, but shortly
afterward interest in the project
was lost and nothing more was
done to further it until 1880.
In the early fall Of 1880, the
Arlington Legion Post, under
leadership Of George d. Kicker,
then commander, revived the
project and with the small sum
already collected as . nucleus,
began raising funds to complete
the project.
The fund was literally contrib
uted to by citizens all over the
county and by children in the
public schools, while many Of
the business houses in Arlington
also donated. The memorial will
be completed within the next few
days.
The Armistice Day program in
cludes the dedicatory address by
Secretary Of Labor william N.
Doak, who will be introduced by
Representative Howard w. Smith,
of Alexandria. The invocation
will be given by the Rev. Perry
Mitchell, of Clarendon.

WOOLFENDEN D T n
CITES AL|B|

That Walter Woolfenden had
no motive for the murder Of
Goodwin Miller and his wife
and had not the opportunity to
commit the crime will be Wool
fenden's defense, according to his
attorney, F. L. Flynn, who says
Miller and his wife were suffo-
Gated in their beds and were
not murdered.
According to Attorney Flynn,
Woolfenden was at his home at
the time the murders are alleged
to have been committed.
Mr.. Flynn called attention to
the fact that Woolfenden was
the beneficiary in other insur-
ance policies, several of them Of
greater amounts than the one
which he held on Goodwin Mil.
Ter. The $3.50 policy on Miller
had been taken out when Miller
was employed by Woolfenden on
his Prince william county farm.

CHAIN TAX Act
CONTEST LOOMS
Rehearing by U. S. Court to
Be Asked by Grocer.

Petition for a rehearing by the
United States supreme court ON the
Indiana Chain store tax act, will
be filed within the next two weeks
by counsel for Lafayette Jackson,
indianapolis, president of Standard
Grocery Company.
Under the law, the court will not
certify it's decree holding the tax
act valid, until twenty days after
the ruling. This period will ex-
pire Sunday, June 7.
Samuel Ashby, attorney for Jack
son, said that filing the rehearing
petition automatically will block
enforcement Of the law until the
litigation is disposed Of finally.
Passage on the rehearing petition
probably will delay this more than
the twenty-day limit.
The state tax board. which will
have control of the collection of
tax fees, however. is preparing plans
for the license collections.
To complaints from New York
chain store executives that the law
would compel them to pass on
the added cost to the consumer. V.
Ed Funk, deputy encouragement,
today said.
''There shouldn't be much to
pass on to the consumer. The
highest annual fee under the law is
$25 a store. Allowing 800 business
days to the year, that's a tax of
only 1-3 cents a day on the store
paying the maximum fee"

MAN, 70, KILLS
HIMSELF AFTER
KNITTING WOMAN
Jealousy Is Blamed for Act
of Aged City Insur-
anCe Agent.

Madly jealous, a 70-year-old in
suranee agent attacked the woman
of his heart with a pen knife and
then killed himself in her apart
nent Tuesday night.
Failing to inf1ict severe wounds
on Mrs. Lulu Dudley. so, widow
and head housekeeper at the Deni-
son hotel, Charles F. Yearke of the
Denison, fired three bullets into his
brain and heart, while Mrs. Dudley
ran through corridor, shrieking for
help.
Like the cat with the mouse,
Yearke toyed with Mrs. Dudley and
the idea of death before his suicidal
mania destroyed him.
Most of the year and half he has
lived atfhe hotel he had been going
with Mrs. Dudley. Recently she re-
jected his attentions. Yearke was
enraged when she attended the Ken
lucky Derby with another man.
Had Made Threats
In his room Yearke made out a
postoffice slip for change of address,
asking his mail be forwarded to his
sister, Mrs. Minnie r. Ernrick, in
Buffalo, N. Y. He dressed himself
carefully, slipped the revolver, the
knife and honing stone into his
pockets.
Mrs. Dudley told police Yearke
once told her if she broke up with
him he would fix her so no other
man would want her.
Preparing dinner in her kitchen
Tuesday night, Mrs. Dudley hearo
the door behind her open and close.
She turned around and was sur
prised by Yearke.
We'll, I've come to do it," he an
nounced calmly, taking out the
knife and whet stone and begin
ming to sharpen the knife.
Body to City Morgue
Terrified, she pressed against a
wall, and flung UP an arm as he
Slashed at her with the knife. She
struggled with him and again and
again he cut at her face, inf1icting
'only q few scratches.
At last she broke away, and ran
into the hall. An instant later
there were three shots. Two bull
lets penetrated the brain, one
pierced the heart. When police ar
rived Yearke lay dead on the kit
chen floor.
Seeking relatives of the dead
man, authorities here communicated
with the sister in Buffalo, who said
she had not seen Yearke in six
years. His body was sent. to city
morgue.

Portable Dog Kennels
VIII MOde1nize Pound
Added Facilities to Aid in
Housing of Pets Gone
AStray.

Branch banks; branch stores
now branch dog pounds
They are the suggestion of DR..
Elizabeth S. Conger, superintendent
of the city dog pound, realized to-
day as they were put to first use.
With but two trucks serving the
central pound at 4400 Massachusetts
avenue, many stray goes uncared
for because he has migrated" be-
fore trucks arrive, or kindly persons
can not take the time to carry the
animal to the distant pound.
But through DR.. Congerss inter
cesion and the generosity of Captain
Otto Ray, city license inspector, and
James l.. Reach, commission mer-
chant, movable kennels have been
built and will be placed at four To-
cations. Two such sites already
have been selected-the municipal
garage, New York and Alabama
streets, and at No. l engine house,
Indiana avenue and Michigan street.
Homeless dogs may be taken to
these branches where the dog pound
trucks will make regular collections
transferring them to the central
pound.
Contradicting the popular idea
that stray dogs are to blamed for
the prevalence of rabies in Marion
county, Dir. Conger said today:
''Ninety-nine times out Of a hun
dred it is an owners dog-not
stray-that becomes a menace
through rabies. Dogs brought to
the pound are quarantined and OBJ
served. Then before they are re-
leased to persons who ask for them
they are given thorough vaccine
treatment. The stray dog still is en-
titled to your pity"

YELLING FUNDS
PLEA CROWNED
ON BY COUNCIL
County Board Aroused by
Request for SLIPS
for AutonSieS.

Requests of Coroner Fred W.
Vehling for additional appropri-
ations of more than $4,000 to oper-
ate his Office for the remainder Of
the year, appeared to be falling on
barren ground at the county coun-
Gil meeting today.
Fred Barrett, attorney for vehl-
ing, presented the proposals, and
the council Immediately became
aroused over the request for addi-
tional Sl,725 for autopsieS. Vehling
already has exhausted the $1,000
fund set aside Jan. l.
Walter Boetcher, councilman. told
Barrett he believed Vehling .'could
have saved on it if he had tried"
after Barrett pointed out $500 an
nually has been used for several
years in the Office.
IF there had been an investi-
cation of the Office earlier, $4,000 a
year could have been saved" de-
clared Barrett. "Vehling has cut
the Office expenses $1,000 year
since the investigation.
Probe into activities of the Of
fee was launched by The Times
Recently and revealed improper ex-
erciSe of authority by the coroner
and the existence of constable
post not authorized by law.
Barrett pointed out that Vehl-
ing now is conducting autopsles
only in violence or casualty cases,
as prescribed by law.
"Autopsies seem to be the source
of great graft in that Office" Cortez
Blua, councilman, stated.
The council will pass on the APP
