Russia Other hundreds Of thousands
were given to similar Jewish colonial
ton plans, although he never believed
in the Zionist movement for establish
ing Jewish homeland in Palestine.
In February, 1921, Mr.. RosenWald
headed a committee of rs Jews who
visited the stricken peoples OF Europe.
This was in preparation for a campaign
conducted by the American Jewish Re-
lief Committee, which brought $14,-
100000 in contributions.
He subsequently gave S1,000,000 Tor
Jewish relief and colonization in Eu-
rope. subscribed S5.OOO,000 to the Amer
ican- Jewish Joint Agricultural Corpora
ton, gave S5,000000 to the jewish
Theological Seminary as memorial TO
Louis Marshall, noted lawyer, and a1oeo
financially libraries and museums OF
the Near East.
Born Near LincOln's Home.
Mr.. Rosenwald was born in house
close to the old home of Abraham LIN
coin, in Springfield, Ill, August II,
1862, and was one of five children. HIS
two brothers and two sisters reside IN
Chicago. The mother, Mrs. Augusta
RosenWald. died there on February 4,
1921, She was born in Germany, came
to America in 1853 and married Samuel
R. RosenWald in Baltimore in 1887.
OF his boyhood, julius RosenWald
often said: Il was uneducated IN the
public schools"
From Springfield he went. at the
age Of 16, to New York as a clerk in
the clothing store of Hammerslough
Bros, conducted by his uncles. At y
he opened a store of his own on Fifth
avenue. but it had indifferent success
His next venture was partnership IN
Chicago with Julius We'll. Beginning
! in 1885 the firm manufactured cloth
ing. In 1895 it became RosenWald q
Co. and sold much of its output to r.
w. Sears. mail order house, At that
time Sears needed more capital and
Mr. Rosenwald bought a half interest
in tie business for $4,000. year later
he became vice president and in 1910,
when Mr.. Sears died, he was made
president.
By 1915 the half interest in Sears,
Roebuck & Co. had become worth
$3.50 .0000 900.
Mr., Rosenwald established the revo-
lutionary policy in the mail order busi-
ness of refunding purchase money to
dissatisfied customers without ques-
ton. The wisdom of this step was at
tested bv the growth of his house.
From 100000 in 1900, the sales
jumped to S50,O00,000 in 1905, to $780,
100000 in 1914 and $270, 100000 in
1919.
Mr.. Rosenwald was married twice.
His first wife was Augusta Nusbaum OF
Chicago, to whom he was we'd April g.,
1890. She died in May, 1929, and the
following January he married the
mother -in-law of his eldest son, Les
sing Rosenwald She was Mrs. Ade-
laide Goodkind, widow of a merchant
at ST. Paul. MINI.
The wedding took place at the Les
sing Rosenwald home, near Philadel-
phia. BY prenuptial agreement.
Mrs. Goodkind was given $1,O00,OOO
and waived dover rights in the Rosen-
valid estate.

NORRIS MAY WIN
SHIFT IN SESSION
House Held Ready to Back
"Lame Duck" Fight,
Long Pressed.

BY the Associated Press.
The dogged determination Of Senator
George w. Norris may be rewarded
with victory at last.
For the seventh time yesterday, hf
nut through the Senate his resolution
to abolish tthe lame duck sessions OF
Congress.
Six times the proposal has gone down
to defeat in the House, either shunteo
aside by the controlling leadership OF
adopted in such altered form that the
Nehraskan would have nothing to dc
with it.
The Democratic leaders who run
things across the Capitol now, are for
IT. The resolution is in their hanos,
probably for study in a sympathetic
committee. and headed for fairly easy
adoption. Sentiment in the House mem
bership generally is favorable.
Referendum Necessary.
If Norris wins through, the people
will have another constitutional amend
rnent to vote upon The proposal Is 10
alter present provisions so Congress VIII
meet each year on January 2, the jan
uary succeeding the November elections:
The President and Vice President Woulo
take Office on January IS instead OF on

No statutory limit would remain on

now the second session lasts only from
December to March, when terms of the
members expire. The members elected

Farmer and Trapper Dis
cover Dead Pilot Sitting
in Burned Plane.
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ELKINS, w. Va, January THE
body of Lieut.. E. H. Bobbitt, jr., "a,
was brought to Elkins this morning
from the mountains where his Army
plane crashed on homebound flight
Christmas day.
The burned body of the Army aviator
was carried three miles to a highway
from a lonely peak in the Cheat Noun
tains. Preparations were to take it
to Hot Springs Va, late today
The flyer apparently was killed by
the crash and not by fire that fol-
lowed. The throttle of the ship was
wide open. Bobbitt's watch stopped at
ITO, apparently in the afternoon, since
he left UniontoWn, Pa, shortly after
noon Christmas day.
Seven and one-half hours we're re-
quired to remove the body from the
wilderness where the flyer died.
Bobbitt's father came here from Hot
Springs and will accompany the body
home
Bobbitts body, sitting in the cockpit
of his burned plane, was found late
yesterday by farmer and a tragper.
They had scaled Pools Knob to look
out over the surrounding country for
the missing plane.
The ship struck tree and burned
at the very peak of the crag.
The aviator disappeared Christmas
day while en- route from Selfridge Field.
Mich, to his home at Hot Springs, Va,
to spend the holidays with his parents.
For two weeks hundreds of men and a
number of aviators had searched the
mountains.
Carl Refer, the trapper, and M. S.
Simmons, farmer. hurried down to the
town of Valley Head to notify State
police. Last night the police started
back along the trail that the pair had
marked with hatchets on trees.

HOOVER PAYS TRIBUTE.
President Says Nation Is Deprived OF
Outstanding Citizen.

The Nation was deprived of an out
standing citizen and a man OF far
reaching humanitarian activities
through the death of Julius RosenWald
President Hoover said yesterday shortly
after being informed of the death Of
the Chicago philanthropist.
The President paid Mr.. RosenWald
this tribute:
The death of Julius Rosenwald de-
prives the country of an outstanding
citizen. His business ability found ex-
preston in commercial achievements
of great magnitude and Importance.
His patriotism was reflected both in
his services in the cause Of national
defense during the war, and in his
devotion to the upbuilding of the life
of the community and the country in
times of peace,
"One of his most conspicuous con-
tributions to the public welfare was
through his humanitarian activities.
His warmhearted human sympathy
for all mankind resulted in munif1cient
gifts for the advancement of public
health, education, housing and the
wide reach of social amelioration. He
was distinguished patron of the arts.
The foundation which he created for
the well being Of mankind constitutes
a monument to his vision, sympathy
and generosity"

The committee stated in its report
that no portion of expenditures made
wholly out of Federal funds for the pur-
pose Of constructing national memorials
or monuments in honor of any national
hero or character or commemorating
any national event, should be charge
able to the District in making up the
fiscal balance
Local organizations in Washington,
through the Citizens Joint Committee
on Fiscal Relations, answered fully all
of the claims suggested as possible off,
sets against the Districts surplus and
also listed a number of counter claims
which could equitably have been put
forward by the District If Congress had
decided to go back to 1874 and reopen
closed matters.
The Joint Committee OF District Citi-
zens not only submitted arguments to
demonstrate the existence of the sur
plus, but stressed the point that since
the surplus was accumulated under the
half f-and-half law, it should have been
made available on that basis to meet
accumulated municipal needs. The sur
plus. however, was made available with
out being matched by the Federal Gov
ernment.
In its brief dealing with the surplus
problem in 1922, the Citizens Commit
tee contended:
The legal and moral obligation thus
demonstrated to exist Is eQuitably sat-
isfled only by the application of the

cumulated TO meet the Districts half

instruments for determining thickness
of the ice, which is believed to De

Plants found on the Nunataks, or
islands of rock in the ice. will be stuoleo
to determine the length of time the rock
has been uncovered and whether IL
ever has been completely covered by Ice.
If the expedition finds that the Is
lands of rock contain very OLD typo

evidence that the glacier is practically
as large now as it has been for long
time. and that We still are we'll within
the ice age. It will mean the ice is
not disappearing and perhaps Is ad-
vancing.
But if the vegetation IS found to
have developed recently, 1t will tend to
indicate that the NuntakS were covered
by ice in recent geological times, that
there has been a definite recession, and
that we are coming out Of the period
Of glaciaticn.
If the ice is found to be retreating
