a big box today.
1t contained 96-pound bronze tab
let, sculptured and cast as part of q
monument to Fritz.
Fritz was the pony that served Mr..
Hart SO well, even more valuably than
his six-shooters, in the countless epi-
sodes Of his Western career in the
movie.
Fritz died last February, at the ripe
age Of 81. Mr.. Hart shed some honest
tears and dug grave for his horse-ln
the backyard.
The tablet, cast In a Providence,
r. l., foundry. bears a remarkable
likeness Of the old movie horse and
the inscription: "A Loyal Comrade. !"
Mr.. Hart and his ranch hands will
build big stone monument over the
grave and put the tablet on 1t. The
memorial, he estimated, will set him
back about $3.50.

Northern Quarries Point to
Recent Bids in Fight on
Rail Rate Cut.
BY the Associated Press,

~~seSSAee~A
BUFFALO, N. Y, July pa tale
of the way Vermont's venerable quar-
ries are being outsold at their very
backdoors by bustling young Southern
rivals has been unfolded at an Inter-
state Commerce Commission freight
rate hearing.
Two witnesses told the story yester-
day as Northern interests began wind
ing Up their defense against q South
ern application for lower freight
charges on northbound goods.
Vermont granite is being outsold
in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and
Connecticut by Georgia stone" said
T. Tracy Lawson, executive manager
OF the Barrie Granite Association.
Firm Is Outbid.
w. N. Fay, traffic manager of the
Vermont Marble Co. of Proctor, told
the commission that his firm had
been consistently outbid by Southern
rivals in competition for large con-
tracts in major Northern cities.
A spokesman for one Northern. firm
proposed late In the day that a pre-
vious I. c. c. rate case dealing with
stoves alone be reopened and brought
into the current proceedings, which
affect a long list Of commodities.
The motion for reopening the stove
case, already settled in favor of
Southern complainants, was made by
Ralph Tuttle of Detroit, representing
the Holland Furnace Co.
Figures Are introduced.
Mr.. Tuttle acted after Engene L.
Hart, Atlanta Freight Bureau traffic
manager, introduced figures on COM
parative rail rates between the North
and South. Mr.. Hart said that on
certain commodities rail rates from
the North into the South were cheaper
than rates on the same mileage within
the South.
MIR. Tuttle argued the exhibit had
nothing to do with the present case.
He objected to dragging In a case
which had already been adjudicated
(the stove case)," because the figures
quoted by Mr.. Hart were based in
part on the proceeding.
I. c. c. Examiner G, H. Mattinelv
directed Mr.. Tuttle to make his mo-
ton In writing to the commission
direct
Cross-examination Of several North
ern witnesses and rebuttal by South
ern counsel was expected to complete

ROSENDAHL RAPS
|CKES0NH NHEL|UM
Officer Says Secretary Has
Shared His Views in Reply
to Charges.
By the Associated Press.

LAKEHURST, N. j., July "a
Comdr. Charles E. Rosendahl, United
States naval expert on airships, today
defended his advocacy Of the sale of
helium to Germany with the assertion
that high governmental officials, in
cluding Secretary Ickes, have held the
same opinion.
The commander of the naval air
station here answered in lengthy
statement the charge of the Secretary
Of Interior that Comdr. Rosendahl
changed his mind about the military
Importance of helium after being
"wined and dined" in Germany.
Mr.. Ickes said yesterday he could
not reconcile" Comdr. Rosendahl's
recent statement that helium could
not be of military Importance with
the officers book, What About the
Airship? in which he described the
use of the airship in the World War,
and added, Small wonder then, at
the high regard in which helium is
held as valuable military asset"
Stand Held Consistent.
Comdr. Rosendahl expressed con-
hdence that conscientious and full
comparison Of my airship talks and
articles with my recent book on the
subject will show my stand to have
been entirely consistent"
After disposing of the winning and
dining" remark with the statement
that if Germany used such "ammuni-
ton" it Should have been expended
on some one else for it was doomed
to be entirely wasted upon me-" Mr..
Rosendahl reiterated his stand that
the German dirigible for which the
helium was intended was a purely
commercial type.
1T is true that I believe the Zep-
pelin was an effective weapon in the
World War; but times and weapons
have changed, with the result that the
big airship today does not fit into
the military picture to worthwhile
extent in Europe"
Cites Ickes' Stand.
He added that on May %, 1887,
President Roosevelt approved recon-
mendations in q letter signed by the
Secretaries of Interior, State, War,
Navy and Commerce which said, in
part:
With adequate safeguards against
the military use of exported helium,
it would appear to be the duty Of this
country as a good neighbor to share
any unneeded (helium) surplus 1t may
have with other countries for the
promotion of commerce and science,
alleviation Of human suffering and
safeguarding Of the lives of passengers
on airships, thus promoting interna-
tional good will"
