IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of my dear Aunt, Jos
ephine Barcus. who passed away Septem
Der 19. 1886.
Dear Aunt how / miss you.
In the year that has rolled by:
Since you left me sad and lonely,
Without even saying goodbye.
In the graveyard safely sleeping
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one l love so dearly,
In her lonely, silent grave.
She shall never be forgotten
Never shall her memory fade.
Sweetest thoughts will always linger
Around the grave where she is laid.
No one knows how much I miss her.
No one knows the tears ! shed.
But in Heaven ! hope to meet her.
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Sadly missed by George.

LEGIONNAIRES IN NEW YORK
Contingent of 600, Some From
Smyrna, Participate in Convention

More than 600 Legionnaires from
Smyrna and the State Of Delaware
attended on Tuesday the conven-
ton Of the National American
Legion. Delaware legionnaires
made a hit with their turnout, es-
pecially Post No. i. of Wilmington.
Spectators acclaimed Delaware, the
Diamond State, as a gem Of correct
military appointment. It was the
first delegation to introduce the
West Point motif into the parade,
and playing that role full up to the
hilt was the Sons of Legion Band
Of Delaware Post No. 4, Of Will
nington. Their martial airs were
good reasons for critical ears TO
bend their heads to nod approving
ly. Little Billy Grienen, five-year-
old son of Carl Krienen, a member
of Delaware Post, nearly stole the
show. Billy was attired as an as
sistant drum major and his antics
brought forth thunderous applause
along the route of march. The
wilmington unit, one Of the first
Junior Legion Corps organized, is
rated nationall as one of the best.
On the heels of the Wilmington
buglers came another lively band
from the ]. Allison ODaniel Post
of Newark, accompanied by Sons
of Legion squad. Another first"
was introduced by the Delawar-
cans. Their trench-helmeted Negro
delegation from Brandywine Post,
Wilmington, was the initial race
unit to step up the avenue. And
step they did. The state posts and
auxiliaries together with the Sons
of Legion had a representation of
600 at the convention and 300 OF
them paraded.

Caleb Strong, one of Massachu-

convention in Philadelphia, which
in 1877 framed the Federal Consti-

able to sign the historic document
because he was recalled home due
to illness in his family A fac
simile of one sent by George Wash

Washington asks Mr.. Marshall to
accept the Office of Attorney Gen

William Bradford, Esq Therefore
Dr. and Mrs. Dwight were keenly
interested in the Sesqui-centennial
Of Americas adoption Of the Fed

drama which gave birth to our

"Unostentatious and democratic
folks are the Dwights and loath to
emerge from their simple but gra-
cious mode Of living into the pub

Of the parts enacted by their IL
Iustrious ancestors in the founding
Of the Republic, and break their
rule Of modesty relative to family
history only to honor the men
whose labors made this Nation pos
sible.
Descendant of John Marshall
Mrs. Dwight was born near
Warrenton, Virginia. She is the
daughter of Edward Darlington
Marshall, who was the son of
James Keith Marshall, who in turn
was the son of John Marshall, the
llustrious Chief Justice of the

IN the social life of Smyrna, is the
proud possessor of a letter sent by
George Washington letter in
which the First President offers
Jonn Marshall the Attorney Gener-
aisnlp, to fill that high office made
vacant by the death of William

state of preservation despite its
great age, being foxed only in a

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1O.-San
Francisco shipowners expressed ap-
proval of the nominations for the new
Maritime Commission, sent to the
Senate yesterday by President Roose-
velt, but seamen's unlicensed person.
mel unions said they were "disap-
pointed"
Its a difficult job" Roger Lapham.
president of the American Hawaiian
Steamship Co., said. I am glad to
see men of high caliber appointed to
the commission. They deserve-and I
am sure they will get - shipowners'
heartiest cooperation
Robert StoWell, assistant secretary
OF the Sailors Union of the Pacific,
said union men had understood the
West Coast was to have a man on the
commission, and were disappointed.
1T looks like another political set
up to U.s." Stowel said
E. F. Burke, secretary of the Marine
Cooks and Stewards Association, said
he felt the West Coast should be rep

Joseph P Kennedy and four others
appointed by President Roosevelt to
preparations today to take over the
Governments latest excursion in ship
subsidization.
Kennedy, Boston financier, who re-
tired as chairman of the Securities
Commission in 1885 for peaceful
life" will head the permanent body.
1t replaces temporary commission
set up last Fall to launch activities un-
der the new merchant marine act.
Other Appointees.
Other appointees are Thomas NJ
Woodward of Philadelphia, Rear Ad-
miral Henry A. Wiley, retired, of Ha-
verford, Pa: Edward c. Moran, jr., of
Rockland, Me, former Democratic
Representative, and Rear Admiral
Emory S. Land of Laramie, Wyo, chief
of the Navy Bureau of Construction
and Repair. The positions pay $4,000
year
Wiley is the only member of the
tSHipOldIy DOuy named 10 tfle 1ull
commission. All must be confirmed
by the Senate.
The commissioners will step into
the midst of conferences with ship
owners over settlement of existing
ocean-mail contracts, which under the
law must be terminated by July /.
Must Set Up Standards.
They also must set up standards
under which direct operating and
construction subsidies will be granted.
Some of these subsidiaries, based on
the difference between costs in this
country and abroad, may be allotted
In the next month or So
Another problem confronting the
commission is the prescription of wage
and working standards for American
seamen. Studies of present conditions
were started during the recent mari
time strike.
Personnel of the old Shipping Board
Bureau already has been shifted to
the Maritime Comminsion by the tenn
porary body, and the existing adminis-
trative set"up probably will be re-
tanned.

Battle Is Urged

Commission today went on
record as desiring a match between
Lou Gevinson and Ray Ingram, the
winner to be recognized as the
featherweight champion Of the Dis
trict. Petey Sarron has vacated
that title, it said.
Although records show that In

weight for several years, the COM
mission regards him as a feather
weight and thinks he should have
little trouble in making the weight
limit for a title bout. Its decision
in recognizing Ingram on a par
with Gevinson was based upon the
