The portico would be sixty feet In diameter and have a landscaped design about it. The landscaping has been perfected by the Bridgeport nurseries. The shaft would be twenty-five feet over all, and the sarcophagus, in which the remains would be placed, would be directly in front of it. The shaft would bear the following inscription: “Dedicated to the memory of James Bethel Gresham. He gave his all that freedom as we know it should not fall. Content was he when called upon to yield his life on Flanders scarlet poppied fields. Full sacrifice he made for liberty through death.” REJECT ARBITRATION Union Leaders Turn Down Plan; Strikes Continues.

TALK MARATHON NEARS CLOSE Girl Seems to Have Edge in ‘Chatter Test.’ H.i United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—Twentynine stout-lunged talkers were still at it up at the Seventy-first street armory today where the “noun and verb” marathon is settling down into the home stretch. By Saturday night one of the contestants will be SI,OOO richer, for that is the sum that Milton D. Crandall, promoter, has offered to pay for the person who talks the longest. Today it looks as if Betty Wilson, who is a swimmer by trade, would win the prize. Tied with three men, George Palmer, Howard Wiliams and Claude Yeomans, Miss Wilson seemed to be in the best condition of the four. None of them has had any time out for sleep. It is not Miss Wilson’s throat, tongue or tonsils that are giving her the most trouble. What she is worrying about are her feet and ankles. Constant pacing of the tiny platform, upon which each speaker stands, has caused her ankles to swell.
