Miss Ruth {. Jones',
Society Editor Of
Dies
Noted Journalist
Was Widely Known
As Jean Eliot

Miss Ruth Eleanor Jones, 81, So
ciety editor of the Times Herald, and
one of the outstanding newspaper
women in the country. died yesterday
in st. Luke's Hospital, Cleveland,
Ohio.
Miss Jones, who was more widely
known by her pen-name OF Jean
Eliot, had been in failing health for
several months, but her death, at
tributed to brain tumor, came as
a shock to many who knew her.
She won the admiration alike OF
journalists and those outside the
profession of her skillful covering
of major social events of the Nation S
Capital. OF a cheerful disposition,
she was equally at ease in the pres
ence Of royalty or ragamuffins.
She scooped the country with the
story of the engagement of Eleanor
Wilson. daughter of the former
President, to the then Secretary of
the Treasury William Gibbs McAdoo.
Her writing spanned the period from
the Wilson administration to the
present day. Her news sense and
deft prose style often earned her
stories fronL-page play.
Perhaps her best series OF artl-
cles was written last June, when
she covered the visit to Washington
of the King and Queen of England
Born In Washington.
Miss Jones was born in Washing
ton, the daughter of John Paul
Jones, prominent Washington
lawyer. and the former Elizabeth
Davis Cuttings of Baltimore. On her
fathers side she was a great-nlece of
Senator Daniel w Voorhees,, Indl-
ana statesman and orator.
Her maternal grandmother was
Martha Magdalene Bowie Cuttings.
wife of William R. S. Cuttings. Her
great-great- grandfather was Daniel
Rapine, second Mayor Of Washing
ton.
She attended the Misses Kerr
School in Washington and later was
graduated from the Castle School
on the Hudson in New York State.
AS young girl, she went TO Stock
holm. Sweden. to watch her brother.
John Paul Jones. jr, now president
of a Cleveland firm of consulting
engineers, run in the Olympic
games of 1912.
Miss Jones entered newspaper
work in February, 1914, as a society
reporter on the old Washington
Times. Less than year later she
was made society editor
Society Editor of Post.
Several years later. she left the
Times to accept the position OF So
ciety editor of the Washington Post
However when Mrs. Eleanor M. Pat
terSon became editor of the Wash
ington Herald in 1890, she persuaded
Miss Jones to become society editor
of her newspaper. Miss Jones con-
tinued in this capacity upon the Gre
alton Of the Times Herald
In recent years she had made her
home at 1245 Twenty-ninth street
with her aunt, Miss Eleanor Cuttings
Miss Jones was member and for
mer president of the Womens Ma
tional Press Club.
Besides her brother and aunt. she
leaves cousin, Miss M M. Hanan OF
Washington; a nephew, John Paul
Jones, Sd. and two nieces, Mary Lou
and Nancy Jones.

Baltimore Firemen
Still Pour Wafer on
15-AIarm Cork Fire
400 Fight Blaze in
$500, 900 Stock; Flames
Visible for 26 Miles
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Sept. ls.-Fresh
fire-fghting forces today took over
the job of smothering stubborn
15-alarm blaze that destroyed $780,
900 worth of baled cork at the
Crown Cork e. Seal Co.'S storage
yard, while officials sought to learn
the cause of the fire.
Chief Howard Travers said there
was no suspicion of sabotage in the
spectacular fire that roared through
a years supply of cork yesterday
afternoon. However. five members
of the fire department incendiary
bureau were named to make an in
vestigation.
The fire was under control. but
fresh men, relieving 400 weary.
smoke-blackened fremen who had
toiled all night, still kept streams
of water pouring on the shoulder
ing mass of charred cork In the
ravaged storage yard and tall
column Of smoke drifted skyWard.
Three Theories Advanced,
Fire department officials said
there were three theories as to the
cause of the blaze. They said :.
might have been started By a spark
from switching engine BY care
less smoker or by spontaneous COM
bustion.
Police assigned TO duty al the
scene arrested one man on tresS-
passing charges early today and
chased another out OF partlv-
burned box car. The second man
escaped by scaling an eight foot
fence. The man charged with tres
passing said he was hunting sou
venirs.
Chief Travers said % freme1
were listed as injured and estimated
that so others were treated for eve
injuries caused by smoke or burning
cork.
Flames Visible for rs Miles.
So swiftly did the blaze spre71
that the fire department asked con-
merclal radio stations 10 broadcast
orders for firemen off duty to renor-
to their stations The cork ward
bordered an oil storage plant and
other large industrial buildings.
Flames shot $50 feet in the a.
Smoke pillared so high it was visible
IN Annapolis, IS miles from BaIti-
more.
j. j. Maggie, secretary-treasurer Of
the company, said the loss was fully
covered by insurance.
A flre-flghting force of the Stand
ard OIL Co. kept close watch for
burning embers caught in an I'D
draft and dropped as far as 900
rect away, many of them danger
ously close to the oil tanks.
Several empty metal barrels IN
the yards of the Cambridge Iron
d Metal Co. we're exploded by the
heat, their tops sent spinning high
into the air.
Heat repeatedly drove back the
fremen and ignited telephone poles
as far as 80 feet away. Firemen
once played streams of water on
their own apparatus to keep It from
isniting.

LOCALS LOSE HEARTBREAKER
(By Lefty" Benjamin J

All good things must come to an
end and SO our Merchantmen s
league winning streak followed this
time-worn adage Sunday on the ST.
Nicholas diamond, GAINESVILLE. Fight
ing back courageously after the Red
Birds had scored four in the first,
the first-place locals were unable to
overcome the handicap and lost a
AZ decision.
"Kippy' Linscott's wildness cost
him the game, as the two walks he
dished out in the first, were con-
verted into runs, and coupled with
two bingles gave the Hilltoppers a
lead that was not overcome. The
slim left handler from that inning
on was never in trouble, Handwriting
the hard hitters from GAINESVILLE
with a hook that time after time
fooled disgruntled batsmen. In the
last eight innings he allowed but
two hits, while tanning eight. His
mates, however were unable to de-
liver enough hits in the "clutch, p"
and although they outhit st. "Nick"
IA, failed time and again with men
on base.
Harold Swain was the locals chief
swatsman, delivering two base
bingles. Although the loss was a
blow to the "Storekeepers, it did
not knock them from the lead as
they still hold narrow margin
over rest of the pack in the East
ern Ohio League standing.
Last evening M. & M. lost to Can
melville, 10.
Dugout Dope
Given a lot of gentle raZzing
for loose fielding earlier in the sea-
son, Bill Whitaker has sure deliv-
cred lately, turning in many great
catches, Sundays being back-hand
stab of a smash out third base and
a quick throw to first to nip the
runner by step.
"Pudgy" Swain ripped finger
in practice before game. He prov
ed his ability to ''take it" by re-
naming in for his full nine innings,
four at catcher and five in right
field. "Ort" Wallace, who relieved
him as catcher did great job of it..
Sunday afternoon, starting at
1870, there will be double header
on the local athletic field. The
first game will be with Jones Driv-
ers; the second with Ironspot.
