Fifty years ago a bride Of 81
and her husband of "a came to
this city on their honeymoon.
They spent a week at the old VIII
lard Hotel.
Today this same couple has COM
pleted a second honeymoon at the
New willard. The scene of their
first honeymoon disappeared with
the years, but the present building
stands on the same site.
/ The happy couple are Anna and
william Henry, Of Chelsea, Mass.
Mr.. Henry is vice president of the
Chelsea Savings Bank. Recalling
their trip to the city half a century
ago, Mr.. Henry declared:
''WashingtOn Is entirely diff
ferent from the city of 1886.
You can't conceive the change.
In . general way I would say
that the greatest difference now
from that time is that Wash.
ingtOn has changed from a
Southern city to . Northern
one. / regret to see all the old
Washington torn down."
Many trips have been taken to
washington since that first one
and the couple has travelled to
many places, including Europe
together. Neither one has been i'll
since they were married. With
Mrs. Henry agreeing. Mr.. Henry
had this to say about leading a
long, healthy and happy life:
behave while young. Avoid
extremes. Keep in the middle Of
the road"
They have no children Of their
own, but there is the Chelsea Day
Nursery and Children's Home
with .2S children in it now-and
Mr.. Henry is the president.

FUNDS SLASH.
TO REDUCE
AID HERE
Welfare Group Studies
Plan to Seek More
Money for Work

With the expectation it will be
decided to cut some 10000 persons
in the "employable" classification
from the District relief rolls April
1, the Board Of Public Welfare
scheduled an emergency meeting
for this afternoon at the District
Building.
Consideration viii be given by
the board to a proposal of request.
ing another deficiency appropria-
ton Of $258, 900 to restore the re.
lief program to its present status.
The board and the District Com.
missioners requested a $608, 900
deficiency for the remainder of
this fiscal year, which ends June
30. This was cut to $3.50, 900 by
the Budget Bureau and Congress
approved a $3.50, 900 appropriation,
$258, 600 less than the boards esti-
mate.
Aid to UnemplOyabIeh
The board has decided to con.
ttnue care OF the "unemployable"
class, with $250,000 of the $780,
600 appropriated. This class
numbers 400 cases, which in,
cludeS 10000 persons. Relief Di.
rector Alice Hill has a staff busily
at work combing the "unemploy.
able" list to find persons eligible
for old age and needy blind
assistance and plans to transfer
the eligibleS to the social secur.
ity rolls as soon as possible.
In the "employable" class there
are some 1000 cases, which EN-.
braces approximately 10000 per.
sons. The board at todays meet
ing win be requested to expend
the remaining $100,O0O Of the de.
ticiency appropriation in caring
for the most needy in the "em-
ployable" group.
Director of Welfare Elwood
Street estimated that expending
this sum in monthly quotas of
$33, ,333 a month, approximately
1000 families can be carried. This
will embrace approximately 1000
Of the 10000 persons on the rolls.
The other 10000 persons will be
cut off.
| It is considered unlikely that
the board would approve either Of
the other two alternatives it has
for expending the 100000. These
are: Carrying the entire unem.
playable class for one month on
the present relief scale of $50 per
month a family, or curtailing the
average payments from $50 per
month down to SO per month.
Aid to Children
In selecting the most needy
cases in the employable class, the
board will be requested to give
special heed to the families who
fall in the dependent children
class. This class includes cases in
which either or both parents are
unemployed and who have de.
pendent upon their support.
No additional aid from private
charities or the Community Chest
is expected, Director Street said.
He pointed out that the relief or.
ganizations allied with the Chest
have limited budgets, the highest
Of which for the Family Welfare
Association is $4,000 a year. The
Community Chest back in 1881
and 1882 raised funds for the local
relief program, which amounted to
| $100, 900 for each year.

RULING
HALTSGRAND
JURY HERE
Ruling Upsetting Law
Results in Delaying
Investigations

The District Grand Jury, en-
paneled under the new jury law
that the United States Court of
Appeals for the District Of Co
Iumbia ruled unconstitutional two
days ago, was recessed for the
remainder Of its term early today.
Yesterday the Grand Jury re-
sumed Investigations into criminal
matters despite the court decision
after court officials explained they
had not completed their study Of
the possible extent Of the ruling.
1t was stated, however, that
the jury would investigate only
the cases of accused persons in
Jail who, desiring prompt disposi-
ton of the charges against them,
would be willing to waive their
rights to challenge the Setup Of
the Grand Jury.
Term Expires Soon
A reported conference last
night between the prosecution
staff and the bench, however, Is
said to have prompted a decision
to avoid almost certain complica-
tions and to order the Grand
Jury into recess. The term Of
the Grand Jury would have ex-
pired at the end Of the month in
any eevent, it was said, and a
new Grand Jury empaneled for
the April term Of court.
Meanwhile, it was reported un-
officially that United States At
torney Leslie C. Garnett would
do. everything in his power to
hasten an appellate court deter
mination of the status Of the
present Grand Jury. This de-
termination will be made in a
petition for a write Of prohibi-
ton expected to be filed in THE
Court of Appeals in the near
future by attorneys for four de
PENDANTS charged with conspiracy
in connection with the Senate in
vestigation Of alleged War De-
partment supply contract frauds.
Attorneys william e. Leahy
and william j. Hughes, jr., rep.
reSenting Joseph Silverman, jr.,
Nathan Silverman and T. j.
Ryan, former New York Con-
gresham, and former Brig. Gen.
Alexander E. Williams. the de-
PENDANTS in the conspiracy case,
said today, however, that they
have not decided what steps they
will take in the case.
Basis of Attack
The defendants attacked the
Grand Jury which indicted them
by interposing pleas in abate-
ment based on the presence Of
notaries public on the jury. The
matter could be brought to the
attention in the higher court
either through a motion for re-
hearing the pleas in abatement
or by writ Of prohibition, it was
stated.
An amendment to the old jury
law, passed by Congress three
years ago, further complicateS
the situation. This amendment
provided that If disqualified
members are present on Grand
Jury the indictment may still be
held valid if IL qualified mem
bers of the body voted for a true
bill and as many as 16 members
were present at the time.
While this amendment to the
old law is held up as a saving
provision for the new law, there
are many lawyers who claim that
the amendment itself is plainly
unconstitutional, although IN It
never has been challenged in the
higher courts.
