Working feverishly to pre-
serve the history of their fore

stroyed, the genealogical library
of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution has assembled
over 100000 pages of genealogi-
cal data in an effort to fill the
great gaps existing in the
American ancestry picture.
High school students are CO.
operating in this work by send

for the three preceding genera
lions. Three generation charts
are distributed to the students
by the library.

Our objective is to have in one

to 1900. It will not be many
years before our library will be

be preserved for generations yet

SEEKS TO HANDLE
M'tEAN ESTATE
Son Files Plea in Court to
Remove Bristol as
Administrator.

The District Court had before 1t
today a petition by John r. (Jock)
Mclean, who was married few days
ago in Reno, New. asking that the
estate of his father, Edward B. Nc
Lean, now insane, be placed under his
care.
He sought the removal of Admiral
Mark l.. Bristol, the present admins
traitor, and his own appointment to
fill that post.
Asserting his mother. Mrs. Evalyn
Walsh Mclean, his younger brother
and sister desired his appointment, he
told the court he was willing to serve
without pay in order to conserve the
estate. The petition was filed through
Attorney Nelson T. Harrison.
He said he has natural right and
lis entitled to render this character
OF personal service" for his father.
The elder Mclean was adjudicated
insane October 80, 1888, by the Circuit
Court Of Baltimore County, Md. Re-
Gently, the court here was advised by
huoliH I. SdHllclu, gudIuidn dQ lltPIn
for Mr.. Mclean. to inquire into the
legality Of the adjudication.
Young Mclean told the court his
fathers estate consists solely Of life
interest in the estate OF the late John
r. Mclean, who left a will creating
Spendthrift trust. The American Sc
curity and Trust Co. is trustee.
The petition stated that most of the
income is disbursed by the trust COM
pany without it passing through the
hands of Admiral Bristol but that
nevertheless Admiral Bristol has
claimed commissions and compenSa-
ton based ON percentage of all
monies paid by the trust company,
whether actually received and dis
burSed by him OF not.

Senator Borah denounced adherence
to the basic rate of 20 cents a mile,

That leaves very bad taste in
the mouths of the people of the United
States said Mr. Borah. We all

with law, and made the point of order
which was sustained against the COM

When Senator Bankhead contended
that the mileage allowance is not
granted as matter Of payment of the
cost of travel, but is a part of the
compensation of the office, Senator
Norris. Independent, of Nebraska, in
quired:
Even under the Senator's interpre-
tation. if the mileage is a part of COM
pensation, should there be any mileage
if there has not been any travel?"
Should there be any salary for
Senator when he is i'll and absent
from the Senate?" Senator Bankhead.

State Departments Wishes
to Govern Action Upon

Chairman Pittman of the Senate

the State Department today whether
it favored legislation to lift the ban on
munitions shipments to Spain.
Senator Pittman indicated commit
tee action on the Nye resolution to re-
peal the Spanish arms embargo, enact
ed January 8, 1887, would depend on
the State Departments attitude.
II the department declines to pass
on the question, it was said, the reso-
luton probably will be pigeonholed for
the remainder of this session.
One informed person predicted the
State Department would not favor the
proposal because it might be inter-
preted in some quarters As muddling

The Nye resolution would permit
sale of war materials to either side in
the Spanish conflict, but legislators
agreed the principal effect would be
to give the Barcelona government a
fresh source of supply The goods
would have to be shipped on foreign
vessels.
President Roosevelt was reported to
have told a group Of churchmen re-
Gently that he felt it would be futile
to lift the embargo because he believed
most shipments of arms to the BARGE
Iona side would fail to reach their
destination.
In proposing his resolution, Senator
Nye. Republican, Of North Dakota said
he was not interested in either cause
in Spain, but was prompted by desire
to right an injustice that reflects
upon our Government through de-
parture from age-old principles"
