Mrs. Longstreet
Receives Aid From,
Kin of Union Men
Grants Granddaughter
One Sending Money
For Ticket.

Money to pay her passage home,
most Of 1t supplied by Nine. Julia
Cantacuzene- Grant, granddaughter OF
Gen. U. S. Grant, was dispatched BY
airmail yesterday to Mrs Helen Long
street, widow of Gen. James Long
street, who several days ago notified
friends in Washington that she was i'll
and stranded in the Virgin Islands.
Nine. Cantacuzene Grant gave $50,
the sum the widow of the famous Con-
federate general had requested as a
loan to assure her fare to Washington.
Two other Washington women, both
daughters Of Union soldiers, added an
extra So. The money was dispatched
to Mrs. Longstreet by Mrs. Margaret
Hopkins Worrell. president of the De-
partment of the Potomac, Ladies Of
the G. A. R., to whom the appeal was
addressed.
Mrs. Longstreet, at one time WASH
1ngton society leader, was visiting the
Virgin Islands with a friend when
she became Ill and was forced to re-
main there. Her funds dwindled so
she was unable to pay for her passage
home. In her letter to Mrs. Worrell,
she requested the right to repay her
benefactors as soon as she returns.
She receives small Government pen
sion for her husbands service in the
Mexican War.
Mrs. Worren believes that more
funds will be necessary to obtain med
ical treatment for Mrs. Longstreet
when she returns, and requests that
any contributions be sent to her ut
the Clifton Terrace Apartments.

Irwin S. Cobb, a native Kentuckian
said today regarding the "decommis-
sioning" of 1900 Kentucky colonels,
that he aspired to be the only legit-
innate colonel called mister"
Gov A. B. Chandler of Kentucky
has refused to appoint any more and
the attorney general held 1900 cur
rent commissions null and void.
Said ex-Col Cobb: Although !
have been commissioned a Kentucky
colonel on two or three occasions, ]
was never active as one except while
fishing. l wanted to become known
as the only legitimate colonel called
mister.
Il was the only white child born in
Kentucky who grew to manhood and
was never called colonel My father
was the captain of a river boat and
that made me sort Of second mate

said nothing about . semi
elevator.
In response to questioning, he said
full automatic" elevator was one
on which the landing and elevator car
doors both operated by air or motor.
The landing door, he said, could be
OF the sliding type only on a full
automatic" elevator. When attorneys
for the Crowell boys father showed
him code regulations specifying
swinging landing doors at openings
to hoistways of full automatic push
button elevators" he did not answer.
The landing doors Of the Georgia ave-
nue. apartment are Of the swinging
type. Signor's testimony supported
that Of Owens and Brown.
After an investigation of the acci-
dent Col. John w. 7Oehman, District
building inspector, said on March II
that the installation was not In ac-
cordance with the elevator code and
that he was continuing his inquiries
to determine the responsibility. The
following week the description Of the
elevator as Of the "semi-automatic"
type developed. and in q report to
Hugh P. Dram, District inspection
supervisor, he recommended that the
regulations be modified.
"As the only possible cause of this
regrettable accident is primarily due
to the space between the hatchway
door and the door Of the car itself,
it is felt that this is too great space
to be allowed" he stated, IN announc-
ing that he had ordered a basket grill
installed on the landing door to pre-.
vent 1t from closing while any one
was standing In the door opening.

SOCIAL TRAINING
BY YCOURTSURGE
Women Lawyers Hear Ad-
dress on New Concept by
Miss Jane M. Hoey.

A new concept Of the function of
the courts, which would include social
training as we'll as legal training, espe-
cially in dealing with delinquents. was
urged last night by Miss Jane M. Hoey,
director of the Public Assistance Bu-
reau of the Social Security Board,
speaking at the nineteenth annual
banquet of the District Women's Bar
Association at the Mayflower Hotel.
Miss Hoey's address followed speeches
by Miss Earlene White, first vice presi-
dent of the National Federation Of
Business and Professional Women's
Clubs, and Walter M. Bastian, presi-
dent Of the District Bar Association.
Included among approximately $50
guests were Judge Harold M. Stephens
Of the District Court Of Appeals and
Mrs. Stephens, Chief Justice and Mrs.
Alfred A. Wheat, additional members
of the District Supreme Court and
other prominent officials.
Miss Hoey expressed amazement at
criticism Of juvenile courts, with spe-
cial reference to the courts here. Her
long experience as a member OF the
Crime Commission in New York. she
said, had taught her that 1--WE must
start with the child and we must treat
delinquentS as human beings"
Miss White declared efficiency and
ability-not seX-should be the de-
termining factor" in business and pro-
feSsional relations.
Bastian pointed to the similarity
between the objectives Of the mems
Bar Association and that of the
women. and stated that all bar or
ganizations should be interested In
matters of real reform.
Urging bar associations to protect
the courts against unauthorized at
tacks, he declared:
Judges are not free to defend them
selves and have right to expect the
support of the bar under such cir

Chandler recently had a falling out
with General" Vincent over what
Vincent termed an effort on the Gov

State officers. like himself Observ-
ers at Frankfort, however, said there
appeared to be no political significance
to Vincent's ruling, as Chandler has
indicated he doesn't expect to appoint
