PARIS, July 3.-John Paul
Jones, first admiral of the United
States Navy, will be honored here
tomorrow when marble tablet
modelled after the famous Houdon
bust, will be unveiled in the Rue
DIES Ecluses Saint-Martin, at the
spot where his body was buried

The spot is now the site of a

until 1905 when it was exhumed
for final burial at Annapolis.
Jones was both born and died
in July.
The United States Embassy
made a six-year search for the
burial place of Jones before it was
discovered. Houses were torn
down, underground galleries Gre
ated, and finally the lead coffin
brought to light and taken to
Annapolis by the American cruiser
Brooklyn for burial with honors.
To commemorate the American
hero's final resting place in
French soil, the tablet, recounting
his exploits, will be dedicated by
American and French officials to-

MAYOR HIT

KENsINGTON. Md, July 3.
Contending Mayor Alfred L. Gel.
ger was illegally seated on the
Kensington Fire Board, Eugene j.
c. Raney, former chief of the
towns volunteer fire department,
declared today he would seek
court action to prevent the new
board from collecting or disburs-
ing any of the 10-cent special fire
tax authorized at the last session
of the State legislature.
The former chief alleged Mayor
Geiger was not a taxpayer of the
town of KenSington and therefore
not eligible to sit on the board.
Pay ON Old Apparatus
Mr.. Raney further charged Mr..
Geiger had advocated using money
collected from the new tax to COM
plete payment on an "obsolete, I'M
serviceable piece of apparatus
purchased jointly by the town and
fire department in 1880. Mr..
Raney said the tax money should
be used to purchase a new piece
Of apparatus which would ade-
quately serve the taxpayers.
It was learned tonight that pc
titions were being prepared fol
presentation to the county com
missioners asking an investigation
of the qualifications of the fire
board members. Mr.. Raney de
clared he had been told several
communities entitled to represen
tatives on the board had not been
notified, although several meet
ings of the board had been held
Ask Tax Limit
The petitions will also ask the
commissioners to set a public
hearing to allow citizens to ex
press an opinion as to the amount
of the tax. The law provides any
sum up to 10 cents on each $1OO
assessed valuation.
The new tax rate, as prepared
by the county commissioners, re.
vealed scent fire tax had been
levied for the Kensington area.

that Ex-Queen Elizabeth had filed

The Ex-King was located in a

Telephone operators, however,

Austrian Restoration
Hopes Take on Life

VIENNA, July 3 G.N.s0.
While prospects of Ex.King George
to regain his Greek throne suf-
fered a decided setback when
Queen Elizabeth decided to divorce
him in Bucharest, hopes for a
restoration of the monarchy in
Austria leaped sharply upward to-
day.
Austria took a long step towards
the return of the Hapsburg family
when, International News Service
learned from a reliable source,
Karl Won Karwinsky, state secre-
tary of justice, left Vienna for Bel
gum, where Archduke Otto of
Hapsburg is in exile, on a secret
mission.
He is delegated to sign with

.EX-QUEEN SUES
FORMER GREEK
MONARCH

BUCHAREST, July 3 Q.N.S0.
Court circles throughout Europe
were stunned today with the an
nouncement in the official Ru-
manian Gazette that former
Queen Elizabeth of Greece has
filed a suit for divorce against her
throneless hus b and, Ex-King
George.
The announcement came as a
bombshell because it had been
generally believed in high quar-
tiers that Elizabeth was willing to
become reconciled to King George
in anticipation Of restoration OF
the monarchy in Greece.
A severe, if not fatal blow, to
the growing monarchiSt move
ment in Greece was dealt by the
divorce action, those close to the
former rulers feared.
Initial proceedings in the suit
are set for next Saturday. King
George, who is now in London,
found himself in the position of
a commoner when he was sum-
moned to appear in court on that
day.
The announcement in the Ga
zette, however, warned that the
trial would be held even in the
ex-ruler's absence.
The Greek royal couple, who
were married in Bucharest in 1921,
have been separated for years.
George was forced to leave the
country in 1928 after reigning for
only one year.
Elizabeth is a sister Of King
Carol Of Rumania, and George is
the brother Of Princess Helen, di-
vorced queen of Carol. Princess
Marina, Duchess of Kent, is
Georges cousin. George is As years
old; Elizabeth 40.

mother, an agreement for the
restitution Of most of the former
imperial fanily's property.
This agreement, it was learned,
will be tantamount to lifting the
ban on the return of the Haps-
burgs as private residents-not
yet as rulers.
Immediate return of Archduke
Otto and zita, however, was said
in royalist circles not to be feast
BILE at this time, due to the inter-
national political situation. They
are residing at Castle Steenocker-
Zeel outside Brussels.
Former imperial property to be
restored to the Hapsburgs will not
include their Vienna palaces, Hof-
burg and Schoenbrunn, or their
museums and libraries.

COURT CHANGES
URGED IN
COUNTY

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, July
3-While giving the Prince Georges
County Police Court a clean bill
for the past year, F. w. LaFrantz
Company auditors yesterday rec
commended an alphabetical index
Of criminal characters brought
into Police Court so that the
Police Court judge would have a
complete police record available
during q violator's trial. The judge
must rely on "the policeman's
memory now" the auditors re-
ported.
A second recommendation was
that all justices of the peace be
required to send papers on pend
ing cases to the Marlboro office
of the court two days before
trial of the cases. The two-day
interval would allow the clerk
to docket the case before the
day of trial, as prescribed by
State law. The system would sim.
plify court procedure and speed
hearings, 1t was said.
A third recommendation was
that bound permanent records be
kept of cases turned over to the
Circuit Court or to the custody Of
the sheriff, for handy reference.
The report disclosed that 81 per
cent of the criminal Police Court
business is handled at the sessions
in Hyattsville, 81 per cent here.
2 per cent at Laurel, and 5 per
cent at Capitol Heights. Fifty
six per cent of the motor vehicle
cases were heard in Hyattsville. A
total of 1888 was collected in
fines during the wear.

White House observers believe
the President is satisfied with the
way the House passed the holding
company bill, because that meas
ure permits the Securities and Elk
change Commission to pass the
death sentence on holding COM
panies which do not come up to
standard.
In other words, President Roose-

the ultimate in death sentences,
and was quite pleased to get even
as much out of the House as he
did; and that he is not concerned
over the apparent rebuff to his
leadership.
