Lifelong Resident of d. C., Dies

We're Famous as Cab

Each Made Coffin in
Which Washington
Vas Buried.

A WASHINGTON woman whose
n memory extended back to the
"A days when the Capital City
4 \ was scarcely more than a
small town passed away last
night. She was Mrs. Amelia Harding
Moore, SO, of 1911 Fairmont street.
Her grandfather, Enoch Pelton, was
a wel-known Alexandria cabinet
maker and he was commissioned to
make George Washington's first cof-
fin. When the new tomb was con-
structed at Mount Vernon her father,
Thomas Prettyman, who had followed
in her grandfather's footsteps, built
the second coffin.
Mrs. Moore, widow Of DR.. Joseph P.
Moore, was born in Alexandria, Va,
in 1885, her family name being Pretty
man. Moving to Washington in 1874,
she had watched this city grow from
a town of a few thousand to its
present size, her children recalling
that she spoke often of the days when
Pennsylvania avenue between the
White House and the Capitol was
narrow dirt street.
Was Socially Prominent.
As the wife of DR.. Moore, whom
she married in 1852. she entered the
social life of the Capital, one of her
fondest recollections being attendance
at White House reception during the
administration of Abraham Lincoln
To her children, she described PreSi-
dent Lincoln as a tall man with big
hands and feet who rode up to the
White House on horse back some time
after the guests had assembled fol-
the reception.
Among her more intimate acquaint-
ances in White House circles was
former President Wilson, who attended
the same Presbyterian church.
Seven Children Survive.
Upon first coming to Washington
Mrs. Moore lived at 1924 Pennsyl-
vania avenue, where 10 children were
born to the family. Seven of these
are surviving. three daughters, Mrs
LunSford G.. Orndorff and DR.. Rosa
lind M. Balm of Washington, and Mrs
Horace c. Dodge of Asheville, N. C.
and four sons. John E., Thomas P
and William N Moore of Washington
and David Pelton Moore of New Yorl
City.
The funeral will be held at 2 pm
Saturday afternoon at the S. H. Hines
Co. chapel. with burial in the family
plot at Oak Hill Cemetery.

ruled that the award of the contract
was legal.
The amount for the single truck was
s45289.
Officials said the compliance certih-
cate was not one from the Ford Co.
itself, but merely from the dealer and
that contract was signed for single
truck at this time in order to bring
the compliance question once again
before N. R. A.
President Roosevelt ordered on
March IA that all bids on Govern
ment contracts should be accom-
panied by a certificate duly executed
by the bidder stating that the bidder
is complying with and will continue
to comply with each approved code
of fair competition to which he Is
subject"
The presidential order further said
that mo bid which does not comply
with the foregoing requirements shall
be considered or accepted
Ford never has signed a certificate
of compliance so far as N. r. A. is
aware, though the Northwest Motor
Co. as a Ford dealer has certified its
own compliance with the retail motor
vehicle code.
Last Summer, Hugh S. johnson re-
ceived a letter from the Ford Co.
stating that it was complying, but
this letter was not signed and when
returned for signing never reached
Washington again.
johnson said at that time signing
of the letter was necessary before the
Government could buy Ford cars
under the presidential order.

eranS' cases was stressed by Senator
Bronson NJ Cutting of New Mexico
yesterday in an address to the Conven-

Cutting attacked the Veterans Ad-

bitrary decisions, the National Econ

country. declaring they had not given
the veterans square deal.
We won victory in the re-estab-
lishment of the presumptive clause,
but the fight will continue and you
must be prepared to wage it." he said.
LAS one of those who are on the in
side and know, can only say that
one of the most powerful lobbies main
tained in Washington is that of the
anti-veterans group and I only wish
that the veterans lobby was half as
powerful and potent in its influence
with out legislators.
The press of the United States. ard
l can say this because for a quarter
of a century have engaged in 1t,
has never understood the principles
involved
The press has never given the
veteran square deal at any time it
has been open to the selfish propa-

dom of the press and of speech for

criticism of the article in question
than outside.
Il don't want to criticize people for
criticizing us. suppose they are sin
cere. Proof that our press is not up
holding pacif1cism or any other ism
may be seen from the fact that the
New York Advocate requested an ex-
planation of the article in question. "

BERLIN, July 3.-The story of how
so rebellious Storm Troopers were
executed with unbandaged eyes in an
old cadet school in a Berlin suburb
was told yesterday by a man who
obviously was member of Chancel-
lor Hitler's firing squad.
The man, a member OF the Schultz

whispered his story Of go executions
after making certain that no caves

of three men. under the chairman

high-ranking officer Of the Schultz

Suicide Allowed Some.
Each man was given three minutes
before the judges and each was sem
fenced to death, although some we're
given an opportunity to commit suicide.
The men were judged and con-
demned in three minutes" said the
witness, "and we're disposed of shortly
after that
From the tribunal they were taken
before the firing squad as the drums
rolled to drown out the shots.
"All died without bandages over
their eyes-an refused to be blinded.
Ernst and Stresser (karl Ernst,
Storm Troop leader. and Gregor
Strasser) were shot there dn the
cadet school.

the ordeal caused him to leave the
place after he had seen so shot, init
mating that many more than that
number fell In the cadet school at

The school was established in l7l7

after the Storm Troopers came out,
