PUN FIRST MOVE
FOR ACCEPTING OF
K. OF C. MEMORIAL
American Legion Officials to
Confer With Donors in
New York.
First step towards acceptance by
the American Legion of the J3.000.000
memorial building in the National'
Capital offered to them cash-in-hand
by the Knights of Columbus will
probably be taken in New York Sat
urday, when the war activities committee
of the knights expects to confer
with Col. S. W. Galbraith. national
..commander of the American Legion.
Daniel J. Callahan, supreme treasurer
of the knights, who returned to
Waahingtot^TastTughtT'^^f^Tn "co
.ference today over long distance tele,
phone with William J. McGinley of
jNew York, the supreme secretary.
Acting under direction of the Su.
preme Council of the knights, Mr. Mc'iGlnley
has wired Col. Galbraith askhim
to make an appointment with I
the committee in New York Satur5
day.
' Expect Acceptance of Gift.
Thus far the Knights of Columbus
have had no intimation as to whether
the American Legion will accept the
gift of such a magnificent war memorial
building, but no doubt is entertained
on that score. The gift is made wholeheartedly
by the Knights as custodian
of a war-service fund from the American
people, and meets a long-felt need
Of the National Capital. It is believed,
however, that Col. Galbraith will not
give a definite reply until he has conferred
with the national executive committee
of the legion.
No site has been selected for the proposed
memorial, but it is the hope of
Mr. Callahan and others on the wardAWIWMA
rt# V* O V W t CpVl I Q ?t n /I

by leaders of the American Legion that
this magnificent memorial structure can
be located on the Mall between the PanAmerican
Building and the Lincoln
Memorial, facing Arlington National
cemetery, where so many of the war
heroes sleep, and form a notable addition
to the group of beautiful buildings
in that section.
.In this connection it became known
that some years ago Mr. Callahan,
representing the Knights of Columbus
for some time, held an option on
tile site of the present National Red
Cross building, at which time it was
intended to locate here the national
headquarters of the knights.
Boston Man Originated Plan.
To Joseph C. Pelletier, supreme advocate
and district attorney of Boston,
is credit due for the thought
which prompted the knights by unanimous
action of its executive board
tb offer this great memorial in the
Nation's Capital, according to Mr.
Callahan.
"The Knights of Columbus felt it
would be a fitting termination of
their, welfare work for the American
erpeditlonery forces to construct in
the Nation's Capital , a worthy testimonial
to the boys who gave their
lives for our beloved country," said
Mr. Callahan. "Hence, their board of
director* on Sunday voted unanimously
to offer to the American Legion the
vast sum of $3,000,000 for this purpose.
This will leave a sufficient sum
on band to continue their reconstruction
program, such as continuing the
present free night schools, employment
bureaus and free scholarships
for ail demobilised soldiers and
sailors. The memorial building in the
city, of Washington will Also provide
a nfttch-needed service to the ooiltitry
and oity in taking oars of large national
and civic gatherings."
Mr. Callahan explained that ?the
committee handling all war activl
ttea or the tutttenia or commons- ana
the reconstruction work now being
done, such as scholarships, free
schools and employment bureaus, has
been meeting every two or three
weeks In New York or Boston. This
committee consists of James A.
Flaherty, Philadelphia, the supreme
knight; William S. McGinley, New
York, supreme secretary; D. J. Callahan,
Washington, supreme treasurer;
Joseph C. Pelletier of Boston,
supreme advocate; Br. E. W. Buckley,
supreme physician: M. H. Carmody,
Grand Rapids, deputy supreme knight,
and Rev. P. J. McGivney, New Haven,
supreme chaplain. . 1
rind Balance of gS.000.P00.
At the last meeting in Boston three
weeks ago, after taking into consideration
all the obligations for reconstruction
activities, it was found that
they had an unallotted balance of
their war-service fund amounting to
SS.Md.400. "Knowing that this was
held under a sacred trust with the
American people, we were determined
to discharge our obligation to them
in a way entirely in keeping with the
spirit of the donors," said Mr. Callahan.
"The noble thought came to our supreme
advocate, Joseph C. Pelletier of
Boston, that it would be a splendid
deed to construct a beautiful memorial
as a living testimonial of the supreme
sacrifice made by nearly 70,000 Amer'can
hnvc and hav#? it st.ff.nfi ftOnSDiCU
ous for service among the other worldfamed
memorials in the most beautiful
city in the world?the capital of
the United States.
The committee was unanimous, but
final and definite action could not be
taken until the proposal had been
passed upon by the supreme board of
officers, which met in Chicago last
Saturday and Sunday.
There, in turn, the action was unanimous.
approving the recommendation
of the war service committee. "The
supreme board consists of twenty-two
officers from all parts of the country,"
continued Mr. Callahan. "Kvery
one of those officers, who is a leading
figure in his home state, spoke with
unbounded enthusiasm of placing such
a magnificent memorial in Washington,
the home city of the entire country,
where it will be vleVed eventually
by every one of the more than
4,000.000 boys who marched forth under
the flag."
Congratulations Over Gift.
Mr. Callahan was swamped in his
office today with congratulations
from business, civic and patriotic
leaders, members of the Rotary Club
and from officers of the Knights of
Columbus congratulating him on the
part he has played in getting a patriotic
headquarters and big convention
half for Washington. "It is the
finest gift this city has ever received,"
was the general tone of these congratulations.
Mr. Callahan has been identified

the Knights of Columbus. He has
during his entire life been Identified
with and a worker in efforts for civic
improvement and humanitarian activities.
Hs trends today are congratulating
him that the memorial and
convention hall ir a monument also to
his zeal for Washington.
The first intimation of the real feeling
of the American Legion with regard
to this magnificent gift came today
from Col. E. Lester Jones, U. S. A.,
who was the first departmental commander
of the American Legion in
Washington, who is a member of the
national executive committee and who
was one of a committee of three representing
the American Legion on the
Washington Memorial Association.
"It is like a dream." he exclaimed,
as he first read of the gift in The
Star. "I can hardly believe that such
a magnificent gift has really come to
the legion and to the National Capital?a
bona fide, cash-in-hand realization
of what many of us have worked
for for many years.
Kills Long-Kelt Need.
"I think it is wonderful, and fulfills
a long-felt need of Washington
and of the country as a whole, for
this is the home city of the nation. In
such a memorial building here we
will breathe freedom and patriotism.
It will be a magnificent memorial rising
out of the war to unite us all morclosely
together. Now we are unable

here. We have lacked the co-ordination
and consolidation necessaTy to
achieve a convention building that
will be free of all restriction and red
tape.
"Of course, I cannot speak for the
American Legion. As a member of the
executive committee I can only reflect
the decisions of the committee. Personally
I am deeply moved, lifted up,
enthused. This is splendid, marvelous.
1 see no reason why it will not , be a
reality. To me it all appeals strongly,
particularly since I, with others who
have followed patriotic organizations
and civic work, feel that a new day
has dawned for this most beautiful
city and for the nation,"
Tank Corps Post, No. 19,
Wants Congress to
Vote Site for Gift
That the offer of the Knights of
Columbus be accepted at once and that
efforts be made to have Congress pass
a bill offering a site for the proposed
$5,000,000 building, was the trend of
a resolution passed by the Tank
Corps Post. No. 19. of the American
Legion, at a meeting last night in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms.
"It seems to me that here is a logical
chance to give Washington what
it has always needed and still fill one

declared G. P. Frailey. post adjutant,
this morning. "The building- would
serve to bring many big conventions

owing to the limited seating capacity
of any place here at the present time,
while, it will give the American Legion
a centralized home at the seat of
the national government, from which
the legion will be able to keep its
finger on the legislative pulse at all
times. We went on record last night
as being heartily in favor of accepting
the offer, and Commander Swan was
directed to assure the Knights of Columbus
that the Tanks* Corps Post
will urge national headquarters to
accept the ofTer without delay."
RADICALISM 'ISSUE
DIMS THE NATIONAL
CAMPAIGN IN WEST
(Continued from First Page.)
the causes of the upheaval and has
insisted that it resulted from auto-'
cratic and oppressive government, and
that the extremes to which the Nonpartisan
League may have gone in its
demands for state ownership of public
resources and utilities is the direct
result of extremists who gouged the
farmers. He uses North Dakota as an
example and says that the farmers
saw the speculators reselling their
wheat at higher prices and classifying
the poorer grades as superior and
so on. The state-owned elevators and
co-operative marketing organizations
if established earlier would have
averted the Non--Partisan League, in
<*lfw v'c onininn
Prearn BilMi Up Distrust.
All this is controversial. Senator
Harding' on his front porch says nothing
about It. and gains the conservative
vote. The voice of Gov. Cox
does not reach' enough of the Nonpartisan
League as a rule to help him.
The Non-Partisan League press caters
to radicals, and finds it advantageous
to build up a'distrust of both the republican
and democratic national organizations.
So praise of Gov. Cox is
mild, and there is relatively little appreciation
of his friendly words for
the NOn-Partisan League. Indeed, he
probably loses with the conservative
republicans and democrats, who are
offended with his flirtations with the
Non-Paftisan League, what he gains
with the rank and file of the movement.
But in the states where the fight for
control of the state governments is
almost a matter of life and death in
the opinion of the merchant classes
the drive is against everything democratic
if the Non-Partisan League
happens to have its candidates on that
ticket, as in Colorado and Montana.
Nugent Is Indorse*.
In Idaho the Non-Partisan League
has indorsed Senator Nugent, the
democratic candidate, for re-election.
Republican leaders say this ipeans a
split ticket, as the farmers jrlll vote
for Harding for President. The truth
is in every case, including Washington.
where the farmer-labor ticket is
independent of the two old parties:
the defections to Debs and Christensen
are considerable?at least enough
to hurt Gov. Cox, who needs every
vote he can get in the west.
Again, it may be said that among
the laboring elements in the west
the feeling prevails that Attorney
General Palmer, by his raids, and
Postmaster General Burleson, by his
suppression of radical publications
uurmg mc wot, i cucci a i ca\.iiuuai y
regime in Washington during the
democratic administration, and that
they ought to be punished, even
though "another set of reactionaries"
is thereby elected.
Cox Might Have Captured.
If it were not for these handicaps
Gov. Cox's direct bid for the radical
vote of the west would have fallen
on more fertile soil.
The electoral vote of the west might
have been captured by such tactics
and an affiliation with Non-Partisan
League, but the losses in the conservative
east might have made national
success impossible. And. besides.
Gov. Cox is not a radical at
heart, but a successful business man.
wealthy and aggressive, something
which the average member of the
Non-Partisan League isn't apt to associate
with a permanent interest in the
doctrines of the league.
Business, big and little, is waiting
the outcome of the battle in many
states. The fall in prices, the failure
of crops, the tightening of credit by
the Federal Reserve Board, all have
alienated born rarmers ana nuimeis
men who feel that the national government
has something to do with
economic problems. And the democrats
have not had the money or
newspapers to prove that much of the
trouble is due to the war and the reluctance
of the United States to join
a league of nations and help stabilize
trade and financial conditions throughout
the world.
(Tomorrow's dispatch will deal with
the relative values of prohibition,
league of nations, taxation, as Issues
ond the personal equation of the candidates.
This will be followed by a
resumption of the re-canvass of states.)

WEB OF EVIDENCE
SAID TO ENMESH
HOLWSDSPECT
Witnesses Testify "Gunman
Joc(' Was in Bandits'
Motor Car.
FREDERICK. Md., October 5 (Special).?Grueling:
cross-examination bj
the defense featured this morning'i
session of the trial of Joseph Thoma.'
Penderghast, alias "Gunman Joe" ol
Philadelphia, who with Clarance F
Adams and John W. Mitchell, is indicted
and accused of the murder ol
Francis M. Holloweli. and of robbing
the Sandy Spring:. Md., bank. The
state will not complete its case until
late this afternoon. Four witnesset
had testified until noon adjournmenl
today. All identified Penderghast at
having been in the "bandit car."
Jere J. Santry and William M
Storm, Penderghast's attorneys, "hung
on" to these witnesses and subjected
them to searching and trying examinations
in an effort to shake and
nullify the testimony in the case. Thej
centered their cross - examination
chiefly on identification, speed al
which the alleged bandit car traveled
and why the witnesses should remember
only Penderghast when it was
well established five men were in ths
car.
Eleven witnesses have identified Penderghast
as having driven the car used
by the bandits in making their escape.
The identifications this morning follow:
Orlando Burras, Roxbury. Aid.; I/ewis
Hill, negro, Ashton, Md.; Augustus
Awkward, negro, near Ashton, Md., and
Mrs. Vivian Cuff of Brinklow. Md. I^ast
night the prisoners discussed the case
until near 11:30 o'clock. They confined
themselves chiefly to criticising testimony
of the witnesses, which they brand
as "vile lies." They steered clear of
uacm.-uukmuu ui iiik prouuum venjiti
which will be handed down by the court
some time this week. The accuswi are
not using- prison /are. They obtain
their food from the sheriffs table, paying
generously for it. Their lunch is
bought by Montgomery county from the
City Hotel and served in the sheriffs
office.
Defense Is Encouraged.
The defense is cheered that no witnesses
have been put on the stand whc
could positively say that Penderghast
was in the bank. This, togethei
with the alibi, that of being with hit
mother, ill in a Philadelphia Hospital
April 26, date of the crime, has encouraged
hope for freedom.
It is said that State's Attorney
Thomas !>. Dawson. Rockviile, th<
prosecutor, has a surprise to spring
He claims to have positive information,
with witnesses to back it. that
Penderghast was seen in the "bandit
car" in Sandy Spring just before noor
on the date of the robbery. This witness
has not been produced, but probably
will be sent to testify this afternoon.
The public's interest in the case is
holding. Enormous crowds are at eacl
session. The women outnumber the
men as spctators by at least three tc
one. School children, girls from Hoot
College, and from the girls' high schoo
and from the bovs' high school heiD tc
swell the crowds.
