WASHINGTON, TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1925. EXPLAINS EVICTION OF TENANT II,IIFOLl 1,ll FOL. 1 B t I -a B-l jL- Mt*. Samuel Subber, of 1460 Corcoran street northwest, telling a Washington Times reporter why she evicted Miss Mary E. Henaughan, who occupied a third-floor apartment in her home for more than four years at a rental of $37.50 per month. TENANTEVICTED AFTER« QUARREL Woman’s Furniture Put Out on Sidewalk While She is at Work 'i A quarrel of four years standing between landlord and tenant, both living in the same house, came to a climax yesterday afternoon when a United States deputy marshal exlcted Miss Mary E. Henaughan, fifty years old, from the third floor apartment of 1460 Corcoran street northwest, owned by Mrs. Samuel Subber. Miss Henaughan was not at home when her furniture and other es sects were set out on the sidewalk early yesterday afternoon, and did not know she had been evicted until her return from work in the Treasury Department, where she is employed. At noon today the fur niture was still out the sidewalk. Miss Henaughan spent the night with friends, neighbors said. According to Joseph B. Stein, at torney for Mrs. Subher, Miss Hen oughan has occupied a five room apartment on the third floor of the Subber residence for four years, but the relations between landlord and tenant have not been as friend ly as they might have been, de spite the fact that the apartment rented for only $37.50 per month. Upon Mrs. Subber’s allegation that no rent had been paid for the past six weeks, an eviction order vas obtained and Miss Henaughan’s frrniture and other effects were set out on the sidewalk.

Indians Give Coolidge “Bear-Ribs” Name ‘‘Bear Ribs!” No, not a new table delicacy—the official Indian name for Calvin Coolidge, the President of the United States. The White House was informed of the President’s latest cognomen today in a letter from a committee of Indian chiefs of the Standing Rock Indian Agency, Fort Yates, N. D. The signers of the letter, Pius Shoot First, Jovita Badger and Antoine Claymore, explained that “Bear Ribs” was a “far seeing, progressive” Indian who had en deavored to teach Ms tribe the white man’s way that there might be peace. Unfortunately, the Indians of that day objected to his teachings, and he was murdered. Believe Him Right “But we now know that ‘Bear Ribs’ was right and we honor his memory,” the communication to the President said. “Because ‘Bear Ribs’ was a far-seeing progressive man, we now give you the name ‘Bear Ribs’ by which you will be known by our tribe (the Hunka papas).” Chief Pius, etc., explained that the Indians were particularly grate ful to President Coolidge because he had been instrumental in giving them the citizenship for which they have been struggling for many years. In addition to the name, the Hunkapapas Tribe sent the Execu tive a pipe and a beaded tobacco bag. CHARLES D. HAMIL QUITS AS TAX BOARD CHAIRMAN The registration of Charles D. Hamil, chairman of the Board of Tax Appeals was submitted to the President today. Hamil, formerly an official in the Bureau of Internal Revenue was appointed from North Dakota, when the tax hoard was organized last July.

HOME I DISTRICT H AGENTS ARE ARRESTED Neglect of Duty Charged in Disappearance of Carload of Alcohol Two Washington prohibition agents, Karl E. Noll, 326 Shepherd street, and Levin N. Price. 3122 Mt. Pleasant street, were arrested in Philadelphia yesterday on a charge of willfully neglecting duty by allowing a carload of alcohol to disappear while they were guard ing it. According to reports to Internal Revenue Commissioner Blair, two carloads of alcohol had been seized and were under their guard. An investigation by other revenue agents showed that one of the ears disappeared on March 1, and their report to Commissioner Blair resulted in the arrest of Noll and I Price and their immediate discharge from the service. They were held in $2,500 bail for a hearing. Records at Commissioner Blair’s office show that Noll was formerly a clerk in the Census Bureau here and was made a prohibition agent on February 13, 1925. Price joined the prohibition unit on December 6. 1924. and previous to that time was employed as a clerk in the Veterans’ Bureau.

EDITION WILLSTOP WORK IF FIGHT 15 PUSHED Herbert T. Shannon Declares Operatives Will Quit Rather Than Grant Increases Increase of union wages in local building trades, if the de mands of union leaders are pushed, will mean the complete cessation of -building activity in the city, Herbert T. Shannon, president of the Operative Builders Association, told a build <dng conference in the City Club today. Operative and master builders, as well as representatives of sub contractors, were present at the t meeting. “We are prepaerd to stop work entirely at the instant of a raise and throw the entire matter into litigation,” sai<X Mr. Shannon. "Unless we can be convinced that we are wrong we will be forced to resort to the open shop, a thing I detest.” Mr. Shannon and other builders stressed the general feeling that the operators are not hostile to union labor, but are determined to resist further advances in the pay of the Industry. Conditions Surveyed. Conditions in the various crafts, as viewed by employers’ associa tions were given to the conference by Samuel Miller, of the Master Stonemasons’ Association; John Hill, president of the Master Steam fitters’ Association; E. J. Linskey, of the Master'Painters’ Association, and E. J. Ewing, president of the Master Plumbers’ Association, who attended the conference with the full pay conference committee of the employing plumbers’ organiza tion.

ALASKHTO R M HEADS THIS W Cherry Blossoms Safe Until End of Week, Says Weather Bureau The cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin, threatened during the past three days, will be safe for at least another two or three days, the Weather Bureau predicted to day. Toward the end of the week there may be colder weather, as a result of a disturbance headed southward from Alaska, but there is yet no indication of how much this will affect Washington. It may pro duce frosts or it may be broken up before reaching here. Today and tonight will be un settled, with intermittent showers. Tonight will bring about the same conditions as last night, when the minimum temperature was 41 de grees. The skies probably will be gin to clear away late tomorrow or Thursday and the colder weather, if it comes at all, will come about Friday. A killing frost, expected today, was averted by the continual blan ket of heavy clouds, which have prevailed for three days.

WAVE BANDS FOR RADIO MOTION PICTURES SOON TO BE FIXED WILLCUT Sim to minim National Conference to Take Up New and Interesting Developments in Field By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH. From the remarkable develop ment of radio communication dur ing the past winter are growing many new and interesting prob lems that must be met by the National Radio Conference, accord ing to Department of Commerce officials. Some of the outstanding tasks for consideration are: Remove Uncertainties. Recommendations for comprehen sive legislation that will remove the present uncertainty from develop ment projects and give industry and science an opportunity to proceed on established lines. Suggestions as to the fixing of exclusive wave bands on which photographs and motion pictures may be transmitted by air. Study of underground radio com munication and recommendation as to whether separate wave bands should be provided for subterranean transmission. Plans for an exhaustive investi gation of interferences to determine range of stations In all localities, re sults of which possibly would re duce the listeners* troubles by fifty, per cent. Perfect Existing Methods. Chief Radio Inspector Terrell ad mitted today, that the Government is not much nearer to recommenda tions for radio legislation than last fall, but he said that there la be ginning to be some crystalixatlon of views among the experts as the result of experience gained in the winter. While no revolutionary changes have taken place In the last few months in the radio world there is still a constant improvement in details, and steps toward perfect ing already existing methods, that is keeping the science in a state of evolution. Underground Radio. Use of the earth as a medium for radio communication will not help the Government greatly In its dgjort” to solve the interference problem, experts said today. Signals launched from underground broad casting device may be caught by aerials as well as by subterranean antennae although it was pointed out that the earth offers greater possibility for directional trans mission. Terrell said that experiments in directional radio both by Govern ment and private agencies offer possibilities for meeting the ether congestion problem. He explained that two stations operating on the same wave length but in opposite directions might be located close together. POVERTY FEAR IS BLAMED FOR SLAYING Mrs. C.

With the shadow of the noose cast about the neck of Gerald Chapman, mall bandit, through the testimony of tvalter E. Shean at the Chap man trial here for murder, defense counsel today began a savage cross-examination of Shean. Shean took the witness stand with the same self-possession ho exhibited at yesterday’s trial when he identified Chapman as the “Mr. Miller.” who broke into the New Britain department store on Octo ber 12. which resulted In the killing of Policeman James Skelly. Shean testified he aided Chapman in the robbery. Attorney Frederick J. Groehl launched Immediately into an as sault on the Shean testimony. Shean said he was thirty-eight years old and divorced, living in Springfield, Mass. He testified George Brown introduced Chapman to him last June. “You didn’t know Brown was a safebreaker?” “No." Groehl questioned Shean about another Brown—an “Inspector Bill Brown” of the Secret Service. He developed that Shean had discussed with Inspector Brown the arrang ing of the return of some stolen bonds. Shean said a “Joseph Marshall* was connected with the bond trans action. SIOO,OOO of Stolen Bonds. "Didn’t Marshall offer you the bonds?” Groehl asked. “Yes. He had SIOO,OOO worth of stolen bonds to get rid of.” Shean denied he knew anything about the bond transaction in Wy oming and Reading, Pa. In the midst of a series of ques tions by Groehl in connection with his story of the Davidson and Leven thal robbery, Shean said: “I went into the Davidson robbery to get all the money out of it I could.” Groehl summoned a “Nicholas Baker” into the courtroom and asked Shean if he had not taken SIO,OOO from Baker.

4 JEAN ELIOT’S GOSSIP OF PERSONS AND EVENTS IN WASHINGTON SOCIETY “DAUGHTER OF THE HOUSE” LEAVES Corliss Nolan to Accom pany Her Mother Back to California CORLISS NOLAN, the "Daughter of the House,” and the daugh ter of the late Congressman John I. Nolan, and the former Con gressman Mae E. Nolan, of Cali fornia, is packing up her belong ings—books, tennis racquet, sWim- Ing clothes, music, gifts of great men—and is getting ready to return the first of April with her mother to San Francisco. This little girl, whose mothers term in Congress ended with the last session, has no regrets over leaving the Capital, although she has had there experiences that have never been the lot of any child in this country—and probably in the world. But Corliss took it all as a matter of course. She is full of memories of what her parents real ized as eventful occasions—but to her ttMsy were just everyday occur renceS. And so she has not yet thrilled with pride over her unique position in childhood. And now that she is getting ready to go to California, which State she Is proud to claim as her own, al though Washington has been her home all her life, save for brief va cations in the land of her parents. She is excited over the prospect of seeing a little cousin just her age back in the home State. And that has more lure than association with Senators, Congressmen.-foreign dip lomats and other officials that make the life of Washington. Corliss celebrated her eleventh birthday- on the eve of the inau guration of President Coolidge and her attendance at that ceremony the next day made her have to her credit the witnessing of three Presi dential inaugurations Woodrow Wilson’s second inauguration; War ren Harding’s and that, of Calvin Coolidge. Os the millions of children in the United States Corliss Nolan is the only one that has had a-father and a mother serve as members of Congress. Following the death of her husband, Mrs. Nolan was elected In January. 1923, to fill his unex pired term In the Sixty-seventh Con gress and to the Sixty-eighth Con gress, to which he had been elected. Bonny Lass Is Corliss Nolan, With Red Gold Hair and Sunny Smile A beautiful little girl is Corliss Nolan, with her red-gold hair,'blue eyes and sunny smile. She is pretty well grown for her years and now wears short the hair that until re cently was worn in long curls. No wonder that she has won the at tention and hearts of distinguished statesmen, legislators and the no bility of Europe! No other child' in this country has been brought into such dose contact with the numbers Os the House, or knows personally so many prominent men. Many other children have appear ed with their fathers on social oc casions, when distinguished foreign guests were present, or when the President came before Congress to read a message—but Corliss was a dally visitor. She came first to see her daddy—and later, when her mother had taken his place in Congress, she came to visit her. She has known intimately three Speakers of the House. Among her cherished keepsakes are coins pre sented to her by the aged ex- Speaker, Uncle Joe Cannon. One of them was not bright and shining, but instead, needed considerable cleaning. Corliss used to speak of this as the one that “had ashes on it.” Frequently Speaker Champ Clark held her upon his knee and occasionally he let her wield the gavel and preside over the House. When Senator Gillett was Speaker he, too, ‘‘fell” for Corliss. And once when he returned from Europe he brought her a Jean-of-Arc coin. Corliss liked that. Belgian Queen Paid Tribute To Bunny Giri from California. Perhaps the most brilliant of the memories of Corliss is that of the wonderful day when the Belgian Queen Elizabeth looked down from the Executive Gallery of the House and observed her sitting on the knee of her father on the floor of the House. Corliss remembers the date (probably from frequent hear ing of the incident told to her elders.) Anyway it was October 28, 1919, and King Albert of Belgium addressed the House while Queen Elizabeth looked on. There were many little girls on the floor of the House that day— for proud parents wished them to have fond memories. But of all the pretty little girls the queen chose to have presented to her the child from California. She asked the Assistant Secretary of State, Breckinridge Long, to bring the child to her—and after the exer cises the meeting took place in the •fflce of the Speaker of the House, Frederick H. Gillett. The queen asked Corliss, "Where do you live, my dear?” Whereupon the little girl explained that San Francisco was her home. “Oh, then, you must be the little girl who brought the sunshine to California.” Corliss wasn’t sure of this, but •he did not disagree with the queen, •he only smiled, which meant to the queen that her statement was correct. Corliss' mother has a big volume Os clippings from all parts of the world telling of this event in' the life of her daughter. Treasures Memory of Gen. Joffre; No Desire to Come to Congress. Another big day for Corliss was the day when the French General Jcffre took her inyhis arms and kissed her on both cheeks/ Corliss bad been accustomed to many kisses, but r.ever before had she been kissed on both cheeks at the •a me time—or so it seemed to her. However, it was her first experience with French generals and she liked Jcffre’s blue suit. Corliss has not confined her friendship to the official sets. She is a good friend, for instance, of Walter Johnson, the veteran base ball pitcher. Johnson gave her an autographed baseball last autumn that he used in pitching the world aeries. Corliss says she expects to kaap thia forever. *arhaps this charming child will

She likes to read, plays tennis, swims, does well in music (piano), can) typewrite rather well, knows French and the usual Eng lish branches. She says she doesn’t want to be "Congressman or a Congress-, woman” unless she has to* be. She just wants to live in California.

Only members of the two families and a few Intimate friends of the bride and bridegroom will be present at the ceremony, which will be performed by the Reverend Doctor Charles Wood, pastor of the Church of the Covenant, but a large company of guests has been invited to the receptiop which is X 0 follow and, as the Walcotts’ friends are legion, diplomatic official and resident society will be represented in happy proportion. Miss Walcott will be given in marriage by her father, but will be otherwise unattended; and the only other member of the bridal party will be Mr. Younger’s best man, John Archbold Chamberlain, of New York. Miss Walcott’s wedding day 1 is also her father’s seventy-fifth birthday, and before the ceremony Doctor and Mrs. Walcott enter tained at luncheon in joint celebra tion of this anniversary and of their daughter’s marriage. The guests included friends and rela tives from other cities here for the wedding, among them Miss Wal cott’s brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Walcott, who came from Buffalo for the occasion. Mr. Yownger Is a Western man by birth, but has lived in New York for a long time and he and his bribe will make their home in one of the pleasant suburbs in nearby Connecticut. Mr. Younger served in the French ambulance service before the United States entered the war and afterward joined the American aa forces. _ Miss Walcott madt; her debut in Washington in the ear’y years of the Wilson regime and has always been one of the most admired members of the younger set here although unfertunate’y rho has been very little he*a of late. Her mother was killed in a railroad wreck in New England twenty years or more ago. when Miss Walcott was a small child. She passed the first year or two after her debut under the chaperonage of Miss Laura Hariai, as did Nona McAdoo when her father came to Wshington, a widower with t. half dozen children, to the post of Sec retary Os the Treasury in the Wil son Cabinet. About ten years ago Doctor Wal cott married Miss Mary Morris Vaux, of Philadelphia. His son Stuart Walcott went early into the war—entering, as I remember it, to fly for France when Uncle Sam was still making up his mind —and disappeared over the German lines. It was many months before his fate was definitely established; and. Indeed Miss Walcott went abroad in a pathetic quest for news of her brother an effort, at least to locate his grave, which I believe she did. Since then she has not been much In Washington. She has studied art abroad and in New York until her engagement to a New York man became almost inevitable. She came to Washington several weeks ago to prepare for her wedding and has been much feted since.
