 Hand
By ALLEN MARTIN

 Courthouse. worcester, Mass., Sept. 26.-(UP)-The dramatic highlight of Newell Paige sher- mans American tragedy" trial was expected today with testimony of "the other girl"
 Attractive Esther Magill of Whitinsville, star government wit ness, was expected to tell of an in- fatuation that was nurtured in the machine shop where she and Sher- man worked, and of the husky choirsinger's resultant determine ton to "get rid of" Alice Dudley sherman, mother of his two chill dren.
 Confronting a man who had hoped to marry her, she was to be asked to supply the motive" for the events of the July 20 night when Sherman allegedly drowned his wife from a canoe on Lake Singletary. near their Sutton home. Prosecutor owen A. Hoban, out lining the states case last Tues- day, sketched the testimony ex- pected to be furnished by Miss Magill. He said 1t would be shown that sherman, despairing of get ting grounds for divorce, had told his buxom co-worker of his mur- der plans.
 Miss Magill's evidence is held by the state as second in importance only to the "confession" of wife murder that was read into the rec ords yesterday, over vigorous de- fense claims of mental duress." Ethiopia expects a record coffee

Five Carriers And
 Three Clerks Will
 Receive Promotions
Changes Effective October Lone Addition to CustO. dial Force Here May Be Made-Babin Reports
 Steady Increasein Receipts During Past Year

an act of congress. signed Aug. 18th by President Roosevelt, which established a 40-hour week for all employees of the post office depart ment, effective October l. Since the post offices throughout the country are now on 44-hour week, the new law made necessary the appointment of some 10000 new regulars" all over the nation.
 The appointments follow:
 Clerks: Clarence J. Carolan. Ap- pointed a substitute clerk on June 1, 1925. Anthony B. Stance. Ap- pointed a substitute clerk July 1, 1927. Edward A. O'Loughlin. Ap- pointed substitute clerk on July 1. 1927.
 Carriers: Louis T. Ayotte. Ap- pointed a substitute carrier July l, 1928. John J. Grimm. Appointed a substitute carrier July 1, 1928. Thomas H. Derwin. Appointed substitute carrier July l, 1928. Peter J. Carroll. Appointed sub- stitute carrier July l. 1928. Ray mond F. Parks. Appointed substi- tute carrier May 16, 1929.
 The new appointments effective Tuesday will be of benefit to those still acting as substitutes, for 1t will move up each of them several pegs on the ladder to regular post.
 Substitutes Benefited
 still another benefit to be felt by substitutes is the fact that an- other departmental regulation, which also goes into effect Oct. 1st, specifies that there shall be one substitute employe for each 12 reg ulars. At present the ratio is one to seven. This means that substi- tutes will get more hours work per week, and those now acting as substitutes will be assured of prac- tically steady weekly employment.
 Postmaster Babin said today that post office receipts have increased steadily during the past year or more and additional appointments will be made as the needs of the service require from time to time.

 Answer-C Cooperation Assured

Waterbury's clergymen have been called upon by President Franklin D. Roosevelt for "counsel and ad- vice" on his New Deal" program. Letters from the president have been received by local clcrgymen of every denomination. Rev. Dr.. James F. Gregg of the First Con- grcgational church, Rev. Thomas L..

 No Nasty Answer
 Rev. MT. Crosby said that he would also reply to the president, possibly next week. II think that the answer to the presidents re- quest should not be made hastily but, instead, after deep thought l shall frame my reply to the pres ident in the most constructive form that I know of."
 we can solve our many prob lems," President Roosevelt said in his letter, "but no ono man or sin gle group can do 1t. We shall have to work together for the common end of better spiritual and material conditions for the American people.

"Rah-Rah" Era in Colleges Past

"The rah-rah boy of yesterday, long considered typical on the American campus, has taken his place in the gallery of dead Americana along with the fapper and speakeasy. His place on the campuses of colleges and univer- sities in United States has been taken by a more serious-minded person who is ambitious and hard working. Dr. Walter A. Jessup, president of the Carnegie Founda- ton, in its annual report charac- terizes the modern student as a "serious-minded person who gives intelligent cooperation to every progressive move. Jessup pre- dieted the disappearance of many of the 500 institutions of higher learning in United States. Shrink ing endowments, reduced tuition. and scarcity of new bequests have brought about situation which threatens the existence of many colleges More than 100 are al- ready subsidized from public
 funds.

 May Be Doubleheader

The Juneau Baseball League sea- son, postponed a week because of bad weather, will get under way Sunday afternoon at 3:45 o'clock when the parade leaves Triangle Place for the park with game scheduled to start at 4:3o o'clock, it was announced today by Presi- dent William Ho.zheimer of the League.
 All the ceremonies arranged for last Sunday will go on as sched- uled, President Holzheimer an- nounced, and, weather permitting, the fans may be given the treat of double-head
 The first clash will be between the Elks, last years champions, and the Legion. Providing the weather holds, the game will be limited to seven innings and a second encoun- ter between the Moose and Legion will be staged. The first encounter is postponed from Opening Day, while the nightcap is originally scheduled for next Sunday.

remain In England, Washington in
| 1874 advertised the place and furni-
| ture for sale. The furniture was sold
at the time, but receiving no bids for
| Belvoir. Washington let it to a distant
relative of the FairfaXes, who occupied
it until it was destroyed by fire in
1881.
Shortly after the fire, Washington
wrote to Mrs. George Fairfax in Eng
land: TT is a matter of sore regret
when cast my eyes toward Belvoir,
which often do, to reflect the for
mer inhabitants Of it with whom we
lived in such harmony and friendship;
no longer reside there and that the
ruins can only be viewed as a me-
mento of former pleasures"
The walls of Belvoir, standing for
years after the fire, were completely
demolished by the guns Of the British
ships retiring from Washington in
1914. In the course of years the ruins
became entirely covered with forest
growth and remained so until during
the World War, when the estate was
occupied by the Army Engineer Corps
and the foundations were partially un-
covered.
Main Walls Uncovered.
The main walls have been COM
pletely uncovered during the last two
years so that it now is possible to
realize the extent and the plan
OF the whole layout. The exposed
foundations show that the main house
was about 81 feet long by 81 feet wide,
with outer walls two and one-half
feet thick. The house was surrounded
by brick walls, forming large arc
with garden houses at each end, on
the river side.
It was a two-Story brick house with
four rooms on the ground floor and
five on the second floor, with servants
quarters in the basement. It is known
from WaShington's advertisement that
there was great kitchen outside, with
stables, coach house, offices, small
buildings, large gardens and orchards.
When the Army undertook to estab-
lish the present permanent Engineer
School at Fort Humphreys it was pro-
posed to restore the Belvoir mansion
as the quarters of the commanding
officer Mai. H. Brook Price, architect,
three years ago drew up plans for
restoration of the house, which were
approved by the Commission Of Fine
Arts on May 81, 1882. This restoration
has yet to be accomplished.
Regardless of the fate of the house
itself, however, the Presidents order
preserves the name of the old estate,
a name which goes back into early
English history. Belvoir was named
for Velvoir Castle, Leicestershire, Eng
land, seat of the Duke of Rutland, a
fortress erected soon after the Con-
quest by Robert de Todeni.
