FLUIDS FOUND
ABOARD SHIP
Cleaning Liquid Discovered In
Writing Room Locker On
Burned Ward Liner.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26. U.2)-Dis
covery of two cans, obviously used
for cleaning fluids, in the writing
room locker where it is believed the
disastrous Moro Castle fire broke
out was reported today by Comman-
der John Barnett of the shipping
board.
Barnett, a witness at the COM
merce department inquiry into the
fire which cost 1874 lives, made a
survey of the burned Ward liner at
Asbury Park, N. J. He said he found
that only one of the ships fire
doors was closed even partly.
The witness said he believed the
fire could have been confined to the
vicinity of the writing room if the
nearest fire door had been closed.
In addition to the two cans, Bar
nett also found remnants of char
red pad which apparently had been
used for cleaning. 1t was impossible
to determine what kind of polish
had been in the cans.
Barnett testified that the MORO
Castle had been equipped with ev-
cry known mechanical device de.
signed to assure the safety of pas
sengers. The luxury liner was built
under the approval of agencies OF
the United States government
which helped finance its construc-
ton and still owns S2,700,00C
mortgage on it.
Officer Testifies
Third Officer Howard Hansen
was recalled. He described an explo
sion 20 minutes after the start Of
the fire, when flames burst like
cannon" near the writing room.
Asked by Dickerson N. Hoover
who is in charge of the inquiry, why
he did not mention them on his pre-
vious appearance, Hansen explained
that he had not been questioned
about it.

figures, Leon Henderson, research

were on Johnson's desk, may be re-

Speculation at blue eagle head
quarters centered around reports
that Johnson's resignation was ac-
companied by that of his confidante
and executive assistant, Miss Fran
ces Robbie" Robinson.
Several of Johnson's lieutenants
plan to sit tight and await naming

(King) Carter, and from his de-
scendants to Judge Joseph Jones
of Fredericksburg, a man of
great Importance in the early
development of this country
who left this land to his
nephew, James Monroe. Mr..
Monroe owned this farm for
about 20 years before he be-
came the fifth President of
the United States. In 1921 and
1922 there was great activity
on the place, for President
Monroe was building his Sum-
mer home, the Summer white
House." on his farm and calling
it Oak Hill.
Oak Hill is interesting to all
Americans for it is there that
the Monroe Doctrine" was
written in the autumn of 1923.
President Monroe, builder of
the mansion and its first occu-
pant, was a member of the first
two Virginia State Constitution
al conventions in 1888 and 1929,
while Henry Fairfax, owner of
the property from 1885 until he
died in 1916, served as a men,
Der of the last such convention.
Mr.. Fairfax, a member of the
Virginia State Senate, and one
of the most prominent citizens
of the State. was a progressive
farmer, and Americas foremost
breeder of Hackney Driving
Horses. He imported MatchleSS
of LorneSborough from England,
and the home of that celebrated
sire became in ternati onally
known.
The get of Matchless were al
ways in the ribbons wherever
shown. Many champions of the
largest shows in America and
England were sired by him. The
celebrated Forest King, owned
by Judge Moore, was one Of his
sons.

Junior Mrs.
Roosevelt Chic

The Elliott Roosevelts,
who are now on a flying
trip to New York, appar-
emily enjoy Washington to
the utmost, for they have
been busy fitting here,
there, and everywhere, when
they have not been house
hunting. Often, in the late
afternoons, they are to be
found in the cocktail lounge
of one Of the Capitals
largest hotels, usually in
the company of the Frank
lin K. Lanes.
Elliott sticks to white
linen suits, having the good
sense to dress in keeping
with the weather which has
been fairly muggy of late;
and Mrs. Roosevelt, who is
a very petite little perso',
with a sun tan that looks
too permanent to ever lose,
has acquired a Fall ward
robe which includes several
exceedingly seasonable mod
els, one of pencil blue,
which is particularly becom-
ing, and another Of gray
ish tan, both with hats to
match.
The very affable secretary
to the President, Col. Mar
vim H. Mcintyre, whose ar
rival anywhere is followed by
a prolonged session of hand
shaking, for everyone likes
him and wants to say Hello
to him, was cocktailing the
other afternoon with a small
group which included r1rs.
Mcintyre, who was looking
very lovely, and their
daughter, Marie, whose rose
petal coloring was set off
with a gray and black fig
ured chiffon jacket dress
with a little gray hat with
a rolling brim pulled down
very low in the back.
"Chip" Roberts glimpsed
the other afternoon in the
whitest of linen suits and
bluest of shirts, telling one
of his stories-and how he
can tell them-to a friend
in the lobby of the hotel
where he resides. Later, he
joined some friends in the
cocktail room.

robes fast enough, and how enticing
the new things are! There are the
most delectable ensembles suitable to
wear right through from tea time to
midnight-street and evening things.
One very attractive model purchased
by smart Capital matron few days
ago is of black satin crepe, cut on
long straight lines, with the bodice
