YIELD STORY OF
BEAUTY'S DEATH
Daughter of Aaron Burr Is
Believed to Have Been
Pirates Victim.
By United Press


By United Press
FREEPORT, Tex, Jan. I'll
Death while the chained prisoner
Of buccaneers was the fate of Theo-
dosia Aston, beautiful daughter of
Aaron Burr, according to a legend
which, it was learned today, has
been found in time-yellowed
archives.
Mrs. Aston, young wife of Cover
nor Joseph Aston Of South Caro-
lima, is one of hiStory's most famous
missing persons. The most gener-
ally accepted story of her end has
been that she persisted when
packet, the Patriot, bound from
Charleston to New York, persisted
in storm off Cape Hatteras.
Mrs I. A. HUMPHREYS, Freeport
historian, believes the beauty died
on the beach near the mouth of the
San Bernard river, in 1914. This
would support tale that Mrs. Al
ston and other passengers OF the
Patriot were seized by pirates.
The beautiful Theodosia diSap-
peared in December, 1913, nine
years after her father, then vice
president of the United States,
fought and fatally wounded Alex
snder Hamilton, secretary of the
treasury. The ship Patriot never
reached New York.

Mrs. HUMPHREYS with having wit
messed a white woman's death on
the beach near here several months
after the Patriot disappeared.
In the early fall of 1914, ac-
cording to Deerhead's account, a
pirate ship was beached in storm
near the mouth of the San Ber-
nard. Deerhead heard a faint cry.
He broke into a cabin and found
q white woman chained to the wall.
Deerhead administered to her, but
the woman died after giving him
gold locket.
Years later, old settlers testify.
the Indian known as Deerhead
proudly exhibited such locket. It
contained miniatures of handsome
man and child, and on one side was
engraved the name "Theodosia."

ADMINISTRATION
IS HOPEFUL OF
DEPRESSION END
Developments in Congress
Give Rise TO New
Optimism.

By Scripps- Hoioard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. - More
hope was expressed by administra-
ton officials today in the prospects
for business recovery than at any
time in recent months.
Their more hopeful attitude
arose from the following develop
ments:
Congressional approval of the
$1,000 100000 reconstruction corpora
ton to provide new business credit.
Passage Of the SIPS, 100000 federal
farm loan bank bill
Prospects of early passage of the
$3.50 100000 depositors' relief bill to
. liberate funds tied up in closed
banks.
Dawes Selection Cheerful
Anticipated congressional approx
al Of the sl50,0O000O home aid loan
bill
appointment Of retiring Arnbas-
sador Charles G. Dawes as presi-
dent Of the reconstruction corpora
ton, on the theory that Dawes will
help to create confidence in the new
bureau.
Friendly spirit in which wage diff
ficulties between railroad executives
and labor are being conducted.
Apparent inclination of the stock
market to force itself upward.
Attempt Of the federal reserve
board to speed business recovery
by reducing rediscount rates.
Reed Optimistic
Decision of the national conven-
ton Of state insurance commission
ers to accept the average price of
stocks for the last five quarterly
periods for asset valuation purposes
instead of the Dec. 81 market prices,
as representing a closer approxima-
ton of the actual value of securities.
Decision of the United States
comptroller of the currency to per-
nit banks to list the estimated real
valuation Of securities instead of
the depressed market value.
THE most encouraging thing of
the whole business" according to
Senator Reed (Rep., Pa, an adj
ministration leader, 'is the deter
mination of both parties to balance
the budget and to keep federal APP
preparations within income. The
moment that is done and the public
is relieved of the apprehension of
continuing new issues Of govern
ment bonds to pay deficits, we will
see a marked improvement in the
bond market which will relax the
strain on banks and insurance COM
panies."

HORSE FOUND
IN STALL
DOPED
BY TOM THORP

SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug.
23.-Investigation of the "Spong
ing" of the horse Panetien here
during the early morning hours
yesterday was pushed today.
Pinkertor detectives reported that
they are on the trail of the mis-
creantS and expected to make
an arrest within a short time.
Panetian was withdrawn from
the Burgomasters Handicap, the
fourth race on the program yes
terday, after the thoroughbred
had been found in his sail in
bad condition. Trainer George
Arvin, after making a quick in
veStigation, discovered that his
charge had been tampered with
and called in the track physician.
1t was the opinion of the veteri-
nary that Panetian had been
"Sponged," but the sponge used
had not been found in his nos
trilS.

Belief is that the sponge used

ner and swept away with the bed
ding used in Panetian'5 stall or
that the obstacle had slipped into
the digestive tract of the animal.
Those who had an active part
in the "sponging" of Panetian de-
feated their own efforts by their
carelessness in the manner of in
serting the sponge. The usual
procedure of spongers is to use a
few sheets of newspapers rolled
very tight. They insert the
sponge in the nostril of a
thoroughbred and push it as far
out of sight as possible.
The miscreants yesterday used
long stick. This cut the
horses nostril and a groom no
ticed a small trickle of blood
from the animals nostril, leading
to the investigation and foiling
Of the plot.
Overnight FavOrite
Panetian was entered in the
Burgomaster Handicap, six
furlong dash, yesterday and was
installed the overnight favorite.
George D. Widener's Finite. a
former stable mate of Panetian,
and Leo Marks Morsel, which
was shipped on from Chicago,
were his scheduled opponents.
After Panetian was withdrawn,
MorSel made a show of Finite,
winning in a common gallop by
half a dozen lengths.
Tampering with Panetian
caused an investigation of the
performances of other thorough
breds which have raced far be-
low their form on occasions dur
ing the meeting, notably the race
of Morton L. Schwartz's Gusto,
favorite for the rich Travers'
Stakes decided on Saturday, in
which he could not raise a re-

RifIemen Open
Quantico Meet
Tomorrow

From 8 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing until late Saturday afternoon,
$4,000 steel-jacketed 80 caliber
bullets will screech their care
fully-calculated course over the
U. S. Marine ranges at Quantico,
Va. Augmenting this seemingly
stupendous outpouring of bullets
from .38 caliber revolvers and AS
caliber pistols, and then on top
of all this will be more hundreds
o. rounds of ammunition fired
from % rifles on Sunday.
It's all for the sport of the
thing, sport that has grown
fast ever since the National Rifle
Association came into being in
1871.
For four days, rain or shine
wind or no wind, 80 caliber rifle
shooters and pistol and revolver
shooters will be out on the ranges
for their relays and then on Sun
day the Small-bore enthusiasts
will be there, regardless of
weather. Rain will not mean a
seconds delay, for shooting is an
all-weather sport, one of the OLD
est of the surviving sports of the
world and one that has a more
strenuously argumentatiVe nine
teenth hole" than the game of
golf. There is nothing in the
rules to command cease" firing
because of disagreeable weather.
BY tomorrow morning, competl-
tors will have had their sights
adjusted for the ammunition they
will use, and will have trained
their eyes to the Quantico ranges.
Wednesday morning, though, may
find wind blowing a gale-and
then they have their adjusting
all to do over again to meet the
new conditions. But no one IS
favored; all competitors are in
the same boat" or wind; each
takes the weather as it is when
his relay goes to the firing line.
ID. c. Guards Entered
Among the shooters at the
meet will be a D. C. National
Guard team. Last year at Camp
Perry, the D. C. N. G. aggrega.
ton was the ranking group of
guardsmen in the big national
match and will furnish stiff COM
petition at Quantico for all the
other competitors in the team
matches, and its members can be
counted on to capture goodly
share of the individual awards.
All the matches on the program
are the usual Camp Perry trophy
matches of the National Rifle
Association.
Leading in the conduct of the
matches will be Col. Charles H.
Lyman, U. S. M. c., the executive
officer. Colonel Lyman started
his military career with the D. C.
Guard, then went into the First
D. C. Volunteer regiment for
service in the Spanish-American
War and then took up his career
as marine. He has always
been an arden rifleman; always"
as he states, lived on the rifle
range"

Nevers Impressive

Nevers passed, ran, plunged
and proved his proficiency by
the yard stick and stop watch
to give the most impressive per-

men as Red" eagle (Army), -,
Fred Linehan (Yale), Clarence
Mum (MinneSota, Jim Purvis
Purdue), Erne Pinckert and
Jess Hibbs (Southern Califor-
nia), Jerry Dalrymple (Tu-
lane), John Orsi (Colgate) and
others.

And it's only realized when an
injury cor something" brings him
into the picture in the place Of
an ailing regular. Yesterday, the
former White Sox infielder was
rushed into action when Buddy
Myer pulled up with an injured
thigh.
Playing second base for only
the second time this season as a
Griffman, Kerr handled himself
extremely we'll and socked out
pretty single in the second inning
which pictured the idea he might
be a fairly good hitter if kept in
the lineup for any length OF
time.
Being able to fill the bill at
moments notice brings out the
value a utility performer is to
major league ball club. Kerr is
just that and the sort that en-
ables any manager to breath easy
when the occasion arises where a
substitute has to be called upon
to perform while an ailing regu-
lar is forced on the sidelineS.
Myer Back Today
Little Johnny" as his mates
call him, no doubt will be back
on the sidelines today because
Buddy Myer will be able to take
his regular position, but the fact
remains he played a good game
yesterday, and one that brought
out his value to his club as sub
stitute No. l among the utility
men on Manager Johnson
roster.
The Griffs evened the series
with the Indians yesterday by
wining a 4-to-0 game. due largely
to Big Fred Marbery's excellent
pitching.
Willis Hudlin was Marberry's
opponent. Manager JohnSon'S
men scored right at the outset off
this pitcher when ManuSh singled
Kuhel across in the first inning.

SUCCESS DUE.
VETERAN FOR
REST Of YEAR
BY GARRETT WATERS

Dy OHAeNG Il w a NANC
All is one long sweet song
around Washington Club head
quarters today because of the
complete return to fettle of one
of the Griffmen's most capable
pitcherS-big Fred Marberry.
And it's quite deserving, for
Marberry was his old self yeSter-
day for the first time this sea-
son; in fact, so much so that it
was easy for him to outpitcn
Willis Hudlin, of the Indians,
while his mates banged out
4-to-O victory to even the current
series.
Yes, sir, Fred was truly right
in annexing his third triumph of
the season and his second in as
many starts since last Friday.
In winning, the veteran granted
the Indians only one hit, while he
pitched to but 80 batSmen, thee
of whom were given passes. And
don't forget this is SOME pitch
ing for a guy supposed to be off
form, not to mention hardly
thought of as a starting pitcher
this season.
Should Help Team
But Fred, now that he has won
two straight, promises to be Of
great help to his team for the
remainder of the campaign. At
least he should be, or his efforts
of yesterday and last Friday
aren't to be taken seriously.
Still they can't help be when
the veteran has shown to such
exceptional advantage. Yesterday
he was even better than last Fri
day because, for a most import
ant reason, he was facing a
stronger team than the White
SoX.
Also, yesterdays appearance
on the mound marked Marberry's
forty-siXth of the season. AS gen
orally known. the veteran has
been used chiefly in relief roles
during the campaign. and because
of this has not had the chance
to start games as was his for
tune in 1881.
Couldn't Get Going
The reasons for most of this
are easily cleaned when the ex-
plantations are known. Briefly,
Marberry was cast as a rescue
man this year because he could
not, for some reason or other, get
going at his 1881 gait. Manager
johnson started him on seven oc-
casions only to see him fail each
time. But in the last month or
so, Fred has showed signs
of being in better form. with the
result the chance was given him
once again several days ago when
the Griffs were up a tree" for
starting pitchers.
His 4 to 3 triumph over the
Chicago White SoX flashed the
idea that he might be in fettle
again. His performance yester-
day against the Indians strength
ems the flash" that he is in form
once again.
May it be so, and the best luck
ever to pitcher who is truly
valuable cog to the Griffs when
in the best shape.
