Plaque on St. Law
rence Bridge.
Washington and Ottawa Kiwanis
Clubs joined in an international event

at the boundary line between the
two countries on the International
Bridge across the St. Lawrence, con
necting Cornwall, Ontario, and Roose

and served the past two years as
international trustee, said in dedi

"Exemplification of the friendly
fellowship existing between the people
of the Dominion of Canada and the
United States of America will never
be more strongly expressed than at
this time when the representatives
of the Kiwanis clubs of the two capi
, tal cities—Ottawa and Washington—
dedicate this peace tablet to the con
tinued friendship of the two countries.
"Can future generations fail to
recognize this lesson of peace? It
would be fortunate, indeed, if friend
ship such as that existing between
Canada and the United States could
exiena tnrougnout me Doraer nations
of the world.”
Text of Tablet.
The text of the tablet reads:
“This unfortified boundary line be
tween the Dominion of Canada and
the United States of America should
quicken the remembrance of the
more than a century-old friendship
between these countries—a lesson of
peace to all nations.”

mahogany from the Capitol of the
United States and a maple handle, and
President Seagal of the host—Corn

Left - E B. Pittman testifies at a coroner’s jury at Asheville, N. C„ probing the slaying of
Helen Clevenger, shown in inset. Pittman said he heard “agonizing screams’’ at the time the
girl is believed to have been attacked. His room was opposite that of Miss Clevenger.

for the slayer, they continued to de
tain Daniel H. Gaddy, the night
watchman, and Joe Urey, 27-year-olc
Negro bellboy. The sheriff said hi
did not believe either was the mur
derer. Chief Everett said Urey hac
apparently established an airtight
alibi.
At the Inquest yesterday Gaddj
testified that he was making hi!
rounds of the hotel at the time offi
cers believed the girl was killed, about
1 a.m.
He said he saw nothing amiss or
his inspection. At the hour othei
witnesses testified they heard a womar
scream, supposedly the death cry o;
Miss Clevenger, he said he was prob
ably near the top floor of the hotel
The girl's room was on the fourtlt
floor.
The girl's father, J. F. Clevenger ol
he saw a stranger dart from the foot
of the stairs, cross the lobby into the
manager’s office, and from there run
to the front entrance, where he leaped
a balustrade and fled down the street
into a driving rainstorm.
He was corroborated by Casey Jones,
taxi driver, who said he saw the man
hurdle the railing at 12:42 a.m. while
he was calling his office from a porch
telephone.
The father came from Shelby, Ohio.
Helen, however, who would have been
19 years old next November, was born
in Washington, D. C. She came here
Wednesday with her uncle, Prof. W. L
Clevenger, of North Carolina State
College, Raleigh. Another uncle, C
B. Clevenger, who also is a membei
of the college faculty, was here todaj
for conferences with his brothers and
the sheriff.
ESTRANGED WIFE HERE.
Mark Wollner. arrested at Ashevilli
for questioning in connection with th(
death of Helen Clevenger, is th<
estranged husband of Mary Bower
Wollner, 29, a teacher of language:
at the National Cathedral School foi
Girls. They were separated more thar
two years ago.
The Wollners were married here lr
1928. Mrs. Wollner resides at 310!
Wisconsin avenue.
The first thought voiced by Mrs
nuiiuci lost in&in wueii uuuimn
of the arrest of her husband was th<
effect on his work, even though h<
was promptly cleared.
“This is terrible news, even though
I can’t believe he is involved,” sh<
said. “You know any mention of t
musician's name in such a case is ex
tremely damaging to him.”
Mrs. Wollner, who is 29, traveled ir

LITHOGRAPHS SHOW
OLD D. C. BUILDINGS
Washington Scenes of Last Cen
tury Displayed in Exhibi
tion at Library.
The public buildings of Washington
as they appeared in the middle of the
nineteenth century are shown in a
collection of lithographs now or. ex
i hibition in the second-floor lobby of
j the central building of the Public
Library at Eighth and K streets.
Engraved by E. Sachse & Co. of
Baltimore," probably an American
branch of the famous printing firm
of L. Sachse tz Co. of Berlin, which
issued Adolf Menzel's engravings on
stone in 1851-57, the pictures being
shown at the library are quaintly
exact views of the notable public
buildings of the time, and include
several distant views of the city as
seen from the Military Asylum (Sol
diers’ Home!. from the Lunatic Asy
lum and Georgetown from the river.
Of particular interest is the pic
ture of the Monument. Here the
engraver has used the original de
sign of Robert Mills, executed in 1836
38, showing the shaft rising from a
“grand circular colonnade."
This plan for a pantheon at the
I base was never even formally adopted
I by the Washington National Monu
ment Society, but appears to have
been perpetuated by the engraver, who,
wishing to add this building to his
collection of views, chose the archi
tect's drawing rather than the slowly
rising Monument—it had reached only
156 feet in 1854, and from 1859 to 1876
was at a standstill.
Along with the Sachse engravings
the library is showing contemporary
drawings of Washington scenes by
Joseph Himmelheber. Among the
subjects on exhibition are the Capitol,
New Hampshire avenue in all its leafy
, glory, the Cathedral and the Arling
ton Memorial Bridge in the course
of construction. •

ROANOKE. Va„ July 18.—Con
vinced that the slaying of Roanoke
County Deputy Sheriff Clarence E. j
Simmons early yesterday was a di
rect outgrowth of the officer's ac- j
tivities in the war on bootleg liquor, j
county officials disclosed today they!
j had asked and received the assistance
! of Federal Special Investigators Col.

; headed investigations of the famous j

: case and the subsequent jury con

| At the same time officers said that
! they had learned that a green sedan,
| which has been waiting for over an
hour at a barbecue stand, drove oil
after Simmons' car when an attendant
at the stand commented, as Simmons
drove past, “there goes Simmons
home.”
The occupants of the car were men,
and attendants at the station told
police that they did not place any
orders during their wait. The car
drove up to a dark comer of the
stand and the lights were turned oil,
it was said.
' Commonwealth's Attorney Edward

Roth interviewed and took statements
of a number of persons held for in- j
vestigation this morning, said that
i “we've several leads in mind and are j

SONUS PAYMENTS
SLOW TO TRICKLE
dumber of Veterans Retain
ing Bonds Is Above
Expectations.
|y the Associated Press.
Bonus payments slowed to a trickle
last week, with Treasury officials ex
pressing surprise at the large num
ber of veterans apparently preferring
Interest-bearing bonds to immediate
cash.
Under the process of payment, the
treteran Is first given bonds covering
the money due. He Is privileged to
convert the bonds into cash at once,
cr he may hold them and turn them
In with accumulated Interest when
they mature in 1945.
Thus far, of $1,708,600,000 in bonds
Issued to the veterans, a total of $1,
164,300,000 have been presented for
cash payment. This was against an
estimate made In May that the cash
cost of the bonus would run to $2,
non non
Payments Are Dwindling.
'y'he figures, too, showed both bond
ind cash payments rapidly dwindling.
In approximately the last 15 days of
June. $1,668,700,000 In bonds were
Issued, of which the veterans cashed
$724,200,000.
By comparison, approximately the
same number of days in July saw only
$39,000,000 in bonds go to the former
soldiers and $340,000,000 presented for
cash payment.
If, as some officials think is Indi
cated, the payments are thus sloping
sway, a revision in the year's budget
figures may become necessary.
Such circumstances would affect
both the size of the deficit and the
extent of the increase in the national
debt, but In different ways.
First Added to Public Debt.
When the bonds were first Issued
they were added tea the public debt
total, as part of the obligations of
the Treasury. When they are paid,
they are deducted from that total.
However, the money with which the
bonds are cashed comes from the
proceeds of the sale of other bonds,
which have been added to the debt.
In other words, such & transaction is
entered three times on the books, but
pf two of the entries each cancels the
other, leaving the third in the records.
Thus, as the figures stood yesterday
the bonus payments had added $644,
300,000 to the public debt, and $1,
>64,003.300 to the deficit, the latter fig
ure divided into $724,200,000 in the
last fiscal year, which closed June 30,
and $340,100,000 In this fiscal year,

officer charged with espionage.

came entirely from my own experi
ence and was done without the help
of any other person in or out of the
Navy or information from secret naval
plans.”
Farnsworth explained that both
Army and Navy officers write articles
of a technical nature for publications
that have general circulation, even
describing engineering details and
specifications. Officers from the Jap
anese. as well as many other armies
and navies, from Sweden to China,
have attended military and naval
training schools in this country and
have been assigned as exchange offi
cers during military and naval ma- j
neuvers where similar information j
could be obtained.
Recently, he pointed out, a mission
of Army officers on leave went to
China to organize an air force for
the Chinese Army.
“If I'd been writing this stuff for j
the Argentine Army, for example, i
there'd be nothing like this,” he de
clared.
"So far as giving Japanese offi
cers information is concerned, we r
started their modern navy and Ad
miral Togo was a graduate of the
United States Naval Academy.”
Talks of Charges.
The charges against him, Farns- j
worth believes, are the result of ex
aggerated versions of cnance remarks
he may have made from time to time,
and of statements he made in a series
of articles he submitted for publica
tion by a Nation-wide syndicate.
“It was all about how spies get in
formation at cocktail parties and stuff
like that, and wasn't toned down any
for publication by that syndicate,
which goes in for sensational revela
tions. Now, I suppose. I’m the one
who has been doing that.
“And if you want to know how a
story can grow, try getting 20 persons
in a circle and have the first whisper
a short sentence into the ear of the
second, and the second repeat what
he hears to the third, and so on until
the last one tells out loud what the
first person is supposed to have said.
It's an old game we used to play on
shipboard and the results are sur
prising.”

IN KIDNAPING TRIAL
“Developments” Concerning
Prosecution Witness
Are Promised.
By the Associated Frees.
ST. PAUL, July 18.—Additional
“startling developments" were prom
ised tonight In the Hamm kidnap trial,
where a Government witness yesterday
testified Tom Brown, former St. Paul
chief of police, was “tip-off” man for
the abductors and received a $25,000
share of the ransom.
Archie M. Cary, counsel for John
Pelfer, who Is on trial In Federal Court
here for conspiracy in the $100,000
kidnaping of William Hamm, Jr., said
the "developments" would concern the
principal prosecution witness, Byron
Bolton, who previously pleaded guilty
In the case.
“They will be very startling,** Cary
asserted. "I expect something to
‘break* In the next few days.”
Previously Cary had disclosed that
he would attempt to connect Bolton,
who made the sensational charge
against Brown while on the witness
stand yesterday, with the St. Valen
tine day massacre of "Bugs” Moran
gangsters in Chicago In 1929.
No Federal Charges Due.
United States District Attorney
Oeorge P. Sullivan, In charge of Pei
fer's prosecution, said no Federal
prosecution of Brown, based on Bol
ton’s testimony, was planned.
‘‘All the testimony against Brown
so far Is hearsay,” he admitted.
He said the statute Qf limitation in
the Hamm kldnaping-^hree years—
outlawed the Federal case as of June
19, last. The St. Paul brewer was
released by his abductors on June 18,
1933.
Brown, suspended by Police Depart
ment officials last night, continued to
refuse any comment on Bolton s testi
Another angle cropped up, however,
with the discovery by county officials
of a “John Doe” Indictment returned
by the county grand Jury, which in
vestigated the crime in November,
1934. It named six unidentified per
sons and some officials said It could
still be employed if any direct evi
dence to connect additional persons
made on whether the case would be
submitted to the grand jury before
the hearing set by United States Com
missioner Needham C. Tumage for
July 29.
Officials of the Navy Department
have explained that the document
Farnsworth is alleged to have sold to
Japan may necessitate complete re
organization of naval strategy.
Several other cases of suspected
espionage are being investigated by
the Navy Intelligence office in co
operation with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, but both offices have
refused to make any statement regard
ing them or to forecast future develop
ments.
Reports of the case have not been
printed in Japan, according to press
dispatches, due to the strict censor
ship. Japanese Embassy officials have
denied any connection with Farns
worth.

the current trial.
Brown, a member of the St. Paul
police force for 22 years, was serving. V
with its kidnap detail during the pe- *
riod of the Hamm abduction. Police
chief In 1930*32, he was indicted once
in a Nation-wide liquor conspiracy,
but the charges against him later were
dropped.
Court was in recess today until Mon
day.
District Attorney Sullivan said to- .
night he planned to call two police
officers who were members of the kid
naping detail when Hamm was ab
ducted, In an effort to show police
secrets were betrayed to kidnapers by
a law-enforcement officer.
Sullivan said he would call Detec
tive Inspector Charles Tierney and
former Chief of Police Tom Dahill
next week to corroborate the testi
mony of Bolton.
Sullivan said Tierney and Dahill,
who recently resigned from the police
department, will be called soon after
