as to why Edward really laid aside his Kingdom. Few seem to think that perhaps. after all, it was because he valued quiet and privacy above all else. It is true that John Quincy Adams went back to Congress after his term in the White House had ended, but most former Presidents are content with their own vine and fig tree after their labors as Chief Executive are over. May be Edward chose the wiser course by selecting the quiet path early in the game, especially since his country was faced by no crisis that called for his egorts as dis tinguished from those of someone else.

Testimony Heard Coroners Inquest
 Held Yesterday
(Continued From Page One)

Beery stab Began, but his con- tention weakened under a mixup of questioning and answering.
 Doyle was brought to the wit ness stand and he described who were present during Sunday af- ternoon and early evening. He stated he had laid down on the bed after drinking too much wine and had fallen asleep. When he laid down he said there was no argument fighting going on. He did not know when he woke up, but when he did he discover ed blood all over the place and Began apparently dead, slumped against the table. He became all rmaed and ran out meeting the two native girls and telling them to call the authorities. This was the extent of his knowledge con- corning what took place.
 Lou Beery was called and un- dar oath admitted being drunk at the cabin. That he did not know when he left, nor that anything had taken place there such as a murder. All he said he knew, was that he was bleeding from a wound in his head and that two native boys took him to the hos pital. Between the time when he said everything was peaceful in the Doyle cabin, until after the death of Began and his subsequ- ent walking around and being taken to the hospital, he said everything was blank.
 Under severe questioning by the Coroner, Beery contended he did not remember anything of physical violence happening at the cabin, that he did not know when he left or how, that he did n't know where he went, until he recognized one of the two native boys as Bill Kanyak and of them taking him to the hospital for treatment, and of his arrest and incarceration in the federal jail.
 Beery was the last witness on the stand and the coroner's jury then considered the testimony & evidence, bringing in the above verdict.
 Bill Nelson was a witness ques- tioned concerning the death of Began, but he disclaimed any knowledge of what took place. All he knew was that he had cele brated his birthday, was drunk and that he had been arrested by Malleley and placed in the fed eral jail. He was fined $20 before City Magistrate Walsh yesterday for being drunk on the public streets.
 Beery is still in the federal jail, and it was understood that de- tails for his arraignment on a preliminary hearing were being

ton being In operation for emergency
food relief.
The quarterly scores made by units
throughout the country have been
received at the local headquarters, and
the local division made second place,
with a score of $3.50, which is Just
1a point behind the leader. Although
Lieut.. j. H. Nicholson, commanding
the division, said this showing Is very
good, he added that there are one or
two men In the division which Is pre-
venting 1t from obtaining that addi-
tional p point needed to be in first
place, and he urged these men to
assist in putting the organization on
the top in the next quarter.
Today at 230 o'clock, members of
the division have been requested to
assemble at the Navy Building, where
they will be conducted through the
Nays radio central. Lieut.. Weinstock

M'D0UGAL MAY CO
TOGENERAL BOARD
Brigadier General Is Under
Consideration for Ap-
pointment.

Brig. Gen. Douglas c. McDougal.
commanding the Marine Corps base
at San Diego, Calf, and the Fleet
Marine Force, Is under consideration
at the Navy Department for possible
appointment to the General Board,
which advises Secretary Swanson on
service matters. Gen. McDougal is
well known here. having served as
assistant commandant.
For several years the Marine Corps
has been without representative on
the General Board. Formerly, it was
the practice to have such a spokes-
man among the cabinet oficer's ad-
visors.
Lieut.. Col. Lewis c. Lucas. United
States Marine Corps, retired. whose
home is here at ITO Thirty-seventh
street, was the last member Of the
First to Fight" force on the General
Board. Because Of the provisions Of
the economy act, Col. Lucas was forced
to relinquish his position on the board,
as retired officers generally. on active
duty, were required to assume inactive
status. Col. Lucas was considered ex-
ceptionally well informed on service
matters and was O member Of the
board for q number Of years.
Difiicuky Is Over Vote.
Latterly, the major general COM
mandant has been called in to sit with
the General Board. whenever matters
pertaining to the Marine Corps were
under discussion. The difficulty. as
observers see it, is that the Marine
Corps member Of the General Board
would have a vote as do the naval
members. Should some matter, not
peculiarly Of Marine Corps import. be
under discussion, the Marine MEM
ber's vote might swing the decision, in
case Of q close division.
Whether Gen. McDougal will re-
turn to Washington IS . member Of
the General Board will depend upon
the recommendation Of Admiral Will
liam D. Leahy, chief Of naval opera
tions, and Secretary Swanson.
It Is considered significant that
Gen. McDougal, alone Of the senior
officers Of the Marine Corps, has not
been ordered to other duty. The
hold-up is represented rs being BE-
cause the heads Of the Navy Depart
ment. including Maj. Gen. Thomas
Holcomb, the new commandant, are
in a huddle, deciding just what should
be done about the whole situation.
Keyser Gets Commission.
Gen. Holcomb had q particularly
personal duty to perform at head
quarters the past week, when he
handed to Col. Ralph S. Keyser his
commission as . brigadier general on
the retired list. Gen. Holcomb and
Gen. Keyser were old buddies in
France. The officers on duty at Ma
rine Corps Headquarters assembled in
Gen. Holcombs off1ce to witness the
brief ceremony.
On February Lieut.. Col. Charles D..
Barrett became q colonel, Maj. W. +.
H. Galliford became . lieutenant
colonel, Capt. Otto z. Bartoe became
major and First Lieut.. r. r. Crist,
tr, became . captain.

RANGE PROGRAM
Is BEING PLANNED
Schedule for Summer Firing at
Camp Simms to Be
Prepared.

Plans are being formulated by the
District National Guard for allocat-
ing the facilities of its rife range
at Camp Simms, Congress Heights,
during the impending target season.
While the reservation originally was
purchased for the exclusive use. Of the
Guard, and it was available to its
officers and men at any time, the de-
mands for its use are now so heavy
that even the Guard units have to be
allocated q particular time for prac-
tice.
Col. John W. Oehmann, command
ing the militia, has sent letters to the
various units who have used the range
heretofore, asking them to forward
to him the dates which they desire for
their units, so that a list may be made
up for the Spring, Summer and Fall.
In addition to the firing facilities, the
housing and kitchen facilities have to
be made available, as many Of the
units spend several days on the res
ervation.
Letters have been sent To the COM
mandant Of the Washington Navy
Yard for the naval personnel in the
yard; to the Marine Barracks for the
Marines on duty here; the Field Ar
tillery and Cavalry at Fort Myer; the
local police department. Capitol police.
Treasury guards and numerous civilian
rife clubs which are entitled to use
the range.
The facilities have been considerably
improved during the past year with
w. P A. funds which were allocated
to the Guard, and it is expected that
further improvements will be made
during the Summer months. even
while the range is in use by the Or
ganizations. It Is expected, however,
that the demands for its use will be so
heavy that there will not be any free
days, even including Sundays, during
the period that the reservation is open
