SENATOR’S SECRETARY TO BECOME PUBLISHER After nearly three years' service as private secretary to Senator Walter E. Edge of New Jersey, George Gar- ner on October 9 will retire from that position and soon thereafter will move to Woodhaven, Long Island, N. Y.. where he has purchased a prosper- oUS newspaper and a printing estab- lishment. Before becoming secretary to Senator Bdge, Mr. Garner had seen over twenty years experience as a newspaper man, filling nearly every Pogition in the’ editorial department on some of the leading papers of the country. r. Garner came to Washington in March, 1913, as correspondent for the New York ' Press, then owned by Frank A. Munsey, but later joined the Washington bureau of the Boston Globe, and also acted as correspond- ent for several other prominent papers’ At the same time he became close to the late Cal. Thodore Roose- velt. and from the outbreak of the world war was one of the colonel's confldentlal aides in Washington, also working for and_with him in New York and Oyster Bay. In hie position with Senator Edge Mr. Garner is succeeded by Robert A. Zachary, for seventeen years connect- ed with the Brooklyn Eagle bureau and for several years with the New- ark News bureau. WANT LIBERTY HUT LOT USED AS PLAYGROUNDS |, Recommendations that the “Liberty Hut lot,” opposite Unlon station plaza, be used as a public playground, under supervision of the director of play- grounds, were made by the Stauntol Park Citizens' Assoctation at a_meet. ing last night in the Peabody School It was voted to send a committee to Elliott Woods, superintendent of the Capitol grounds, and other officials necessary and formally petition them on the matter. Numerous complaints have come be- fore the association that the Liberty Hut lot is controlled by the Christ Child Society, and that various teams have been refused the right to play upon this lot because they were mot { affillated in any way with the so- Staunton Park Association basead its objectfons upon the ground that mo government property should be granted any particular organisa- tion to the exclusion of the rest. J. B. Marland, in charge of the -grounds for the Christ Child Society, explained that the lot had been grant- ed to his organization as an athletic fleld on condition that it put the lot into fit condition, and that ap- proximately $300 had been spent to this €nd,,and collections from those who used the grounds, he said, were to reimburse g‘: soclety for the money expended. . Marland denied that he had re- fused to let other teams play, except when they would conflict with the game of teams already playing or promised the use of the lot for any ‘particular period. In support of an appeal by Don H. York of the Trinidad Citizens’ As3o- cigtiQxt indorsement was given by the Stauanton Park association to the ing membership drive of the Fed- ed Citizens’ Associations. * Announcement of the annual elec- tion of officers was given out, and the following were elected: B. Frants, president; Miss Gertrude Young, vice president; Harry N. Stull, secretary; Lawrence Phillips, finan- cial secretary; George Clagett, treas- urer, and A. H. Gregory and H. F.

A letter was read from President Harding, who was unable to attend. Other speakers included Guldo Sa- betta, counselor of the Italian em- bassy, and Prof. Charles H. Grand- gent of Harvard University. “Dante was one of the noblest of mankind,” declared the Secretary of State. “He stands out like a sublime peak dominating the range of human endeavor which gave distinction to the thirteenth century. At the pres- ent time, when the spirit struggles to escape the fetters of material success, when science has harnessed all the forces of nature for a race which is wondering if it has lost its faith, it is necessary to turn back 600 vears to realize that moral supremacy is the only one ‘that leaves monuments and not ruins behind. Impossible to Estimate. 1t is still impossible to estimate Dante,” Secretary Hughes said. ‘Dante took the common language and made it an instrument of the highest literature usage. He was the founder of modern literature, and the poet of all ages, all times and people. “Dante was the poet of the Chris- tian faith. He wrote the epic of the human soul. He persists through the centuries because he is the poet of the struggle of the soul, showing the secret of faith’s victory, of the soul triumphant, of the strength which alone gives the mastery of life and cannot know defeat.” Letter From President. ident Harding in his letter “My Dear Mr. Secretary: “I wish you would be good enough to express my regrets to the gather- ing at the National Museum on Mon- day night for the memorial of the 600th anniversary of the death of Dante Alighierl. “Had it been possible I would have Marriage Licenses.

Commemorating Death - of Bard. been present, and would have found much satisfaction in paying my own poor tribute, among the others, to the memory of one of the few men who have approached nearest to touch with divinity. “In arms, in his great thoughts, in his noble moral conceptions he was ever a rebel against wrong, oppr sion and error. His lifetime of suf- fering and privation produced, be- cause the fire of his genius was be- yond quenching, works in many realms which place him among the foremost of mankind's benefactors. Probably no other in history so near- ly as he deserves credit for creating at once a national literature and a national spirit in a great but op- pressed people. To him, I think, the glories of modern Italian art and lit- erature, and the unity and power of the Italian people, may be esteemed twin monument; Justification for Rejoicing. “It 18 a justification for rejoicing that his anniversary is ,being so widely and understandingly com- memorated in our own country this year. Though he was privileged to see in his lifetime little realization of his aspirations, yet we cannot be- lieve that so noble a soul will have been denfed the satisfaction of know- ing at last that men realize their universal debt to him. 8o it is al- together fitting that not/only those of Italfan descent, but their friends, and the lovers of humanity every- where, should now give voice to their rejoicing in the fulfillment of his prophecy. “Let us hope that the coming cen- tury may witness the fulfillment of yet others of his aspirations for the good of the commonwealth of na- tions, to which he has been so long and heartening an inspiration. “Sincerely yours, “WARREN G. HARDING.” ‘The committee in charge of the ex- ercises included Waldo G. Leland of the Carnegie Institution; Mgr. Aluigi Cossfo, apostolic delegation, Wash- ington; Prof. Henry Grattan Doyle of George Washington University, and Constantine E. McGuire of the inter-American high commission. Births Reported.
