new criticism of the Cheltenham

ing the Southern Maryland colored
reformatory showed a crying need"
for treating inmates with some for
bearance and enlightened guidance. ;"
AS previous grand jury reports
have done, the latest emphasized
correction was needed in matters
of personnel and policy, rather than
the physical condition of the plant"
Since the institution is located in
Southern Maryland, the jury said.
and is not in Baltimore City's juris-
diction, the Governor should name
an investigating committee to exam

Cheltenham became a State in

Leaves Arizona for D. G.
Adheres to Code Not
To Comment on
Army Politics

BY the Associated Press
TUCSON. Ariz., May 6-An aging
warrior who % years ago uncom-
plainingly assumed the task of lead
ing a hastily assembled an made
quately equipped American Expedi-
tionary Force to Europe, turned
toward the east today, adhering to
his soldiers code not to criticize
or discuss political aspects of the
Army's present condition.
AS Gen. John j. Pershing, 78, pre-
pared to board special railroad
car for Washington, D. c., after a
4l2-month sojourn in Tucson, near
the scenes of his early exploits when
fresh from West Point, he declined
to amplify his firmly held ideas Of
the Nations military needs.
To requests that he give his pres
ent stand on Americas current
problem of national defense and
armament he declared:
II have nothing to say on that
subject; I have nothing to say for
publication on any public subject" "
Favored 100000 Trained Men.
Two years ago, however, when
Europe's mad armament race still
was news to many American read
ers. Gen. Pershing declared as he
left Tucson that the United States
should have at its call 400 900 trained
and fully equipped men for imme-
diate duty as a flrst-line bulwark
in the event of war, while a million
citizens were being trained to take
their places in the Nations defense
He then deplored the lack Of prep
aration that preceded the sending
of the A. E. F. to France and coun-
seled that it never be permitted to
happen again.
Friends who have been near the
general during his quiet stay here

May Pershing, said he kept in close

Jefferson Memorial Marble
Order Approved

The Thomas Jefferson Memorial
Commission was within its rights
in buying the sort of marble that
was desired for the Potomac Park
project although another variety was
$23, 900 cheaper. under a decision to-
day by Controller General Fred H.
Brown that overrules protest
against award of a bid for the ex-
terror masonry work.
The contract for the memorial,
which in its entirety involves $2,159,-
900, went to John McShain, Inc, of
Philadelphia.
The complaint against the award,
presumably coming from some un-
successful bidder, caused the COM
mission to seek an o. K from the
Controller General before the con-
tract was actually signed.
The commission, while desiring to
use Imperial Dandy marble in con-
formity with the suggestion of the
architect, asked for bids on lime
stone and marble and five concerns
submitted estimates.
The low bid for the Imperial
Dandy marble was accepted, the
commission said. although it was
explained at the Office that Cherokee
marble would have been $23, 900 less.
Controller General Brown said
the commission had sufficient lee
way to buy whatever stone was de-
sired as long as the expenditure
stayed within the total appropria-
ton.

Results in Huno jury

The suit of the Arlington County
(Va) Kiwanis Club against Edward
c. Hall to obtain possession of the
clubs cabin camp for underprivi-
lege children. in the Arlington
County Circuit Court, resulted in a
hung jury late yesterday.

off North Sixteenth street in the
Tara subdivision.
Another suit is pending in the
court in which Mr.. Jones is en-
deavoring to establish title to the
land. Counsel said the outcome of
Mr.. Jones suit would undoubtedly
have material bearing on the XII
wants suit.

S. Clay, jr., represented the club
while Charles Henry Smith of Alex
andria represented Mr.. Hall. The
suit will be set for retrial at a fu-

Government scientists still have
hopes that the lowly goldenrod,
nemesis of hay fever victims, may
furnish the answer to America s
search for a domestic rubber-pro-
ducing plant.
DR.. E. c. Auchter, chief of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, told the
Senate Appropriations Committee
that by following up studies made
by the late Thomas A. Edison, the
bureau has been able to increase the
rubber content in goldenrod leaves
to 8 per cent.
If a II per cent content can be
obtained he said, commercial pro-
duction would be feasible when the
world price of rubber was above 20
cents pound.
DR.. Auchter also said promising
results were being obtained from
Brazilian rubber trees being grown
in Florida.
He urged the committee to in

libera|ized Divorce
Rule Recommended
For Methodists
Mental and PhysicoI
Cruelty Recognized
As Just Grounds
By the Associated Press.

os tHe AhAOClALeu fTeSS.
KANSAS CITY, May 6.-Scrapping
traditional rules of discipline, spe-
cial committee today recommended
liberalization of divorce regulations
for the new unified Methodist
Church.
Delegates from the Southern and
Protestant denominations agreed to
the liberalization under which
mental and physical cruelty would
be recognized as equally just grounds
for divorce as adultery.
The proposal goes before the con-
vention's 900 delegates for final ac-
ton. 1t was made by general
committee on ministry and judicial
administration which has been
hearing debate on the delicate and
controversial subject in "off-the-
record" sessions.
DR.. Orien w. Fifer of Cincinnati,
chairman Of the committee, said his
group had voted to substitute the
Northern Church rule concerning
divorce for the regulation set forth
in the prospectus for the plan of
union.
Ministers thus would be permit
ted to remarry the innocent party"
to a divorce obtained on mental or
physical cruelty grounds as we'll as
lor adultery.
The Northern Church, which
,lOlds that marriage is both human
and divine" says this regarding
marriage of divorced persons:
mo minister shall solemnize the
marriage of divorced person whose
divorced wife or husband is living
and unmarried; but this rule shall
not apply Cd to the innocent per-
son when it is clearly established
by competent testimony that the
true cause for divorce was adultery
or other vicious conditions which
through mental or physical cruelty
or physical peril invalidated the
marriage vow nor (2) to divorced
persons seeking to be reunited in
marriage"
The committee adopted that
paragraph, to which the Southern
and Protestant branches yielded.
The conference decided yesterday
to hold twice daily business sessions
and to adjourn Wednesday, May
10-one week earlier than originally
planned. Dwindling finances was
given as the reason.
