Edwin Markham, author of the poem on Lincoln which was read last week at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial, explained how he hap- pened to write this famous compos tion, in addressing members of the National Popular Government League at a luncheon in the poét's honmor glven yesterday afternoon at the Eb- bitt Hotel. Mr. Lincoln poem was written at the ri quest of a New York club, to be read at a special dinner which the club £avé in connection with the birthday anniversary of the great emancipator. For three weeks precoeding the dl ner, he gald, he worried day and night over his subject, and not until the night before .the dinner, at 2 o'clocle in the morning, did the idea. of the peom come to him. The rest was easy, he declared. In responte to a request of a mem- ber of the league, Mr. Markham read the poem In an inspiring manner. He also gave those present autographed copies of the composition. The speaker read a number of his favorite poems, including his celebrated *The Man With the Hoe,” which, he pointed out, had been misunderstood by many person: He defined poetry as the language of the heart, as differentiated from science, which, he asserted, was the expression of the intell Every- thing on _earth s poetical, marked. He told the membe: carly life, spent as a co plowboy on his moth, fornia. boy and @r's ranch in Cali- reception was held in the lobby of the hotel, ,Judson King presenting guests’to the poet. Mrs. Alice Thacher Post presided at the luncheon. AGTION THIS WEEK Senator Phipps Expects House to Pass Surplus Inquiry Measure, Also. The District appropri in the Senate some time this week, in the opinion of Senator Phipps Colorado, who has charge of the bill. Senator Phipps pointed out last night that the House rules committee has ed favorably to the House the Senate concurrent resolution pro- viding for a joint congressional com- mittee to investigate the the surplus revenues of the District now amounting to about $5,000,000, and to report to Congress thereon. He said that he hoped the House and indicated that he might wait un- til after the House acts on it before alling on the District bill. This would obviate any necessity of hav- ing the tax rider carry a provision for such an investigation, he said. The rider, ® is expected, will amended so that the tax payments on real property in the District will be made twice @ year instead of once @ year, so as to aid in putting the District on a cash-paying basis, be- fore the District bill becomes a law. SUMMER TERM IN LAW._ | { National University School Open June 6. The summer term of the University Law School will open June 16, to run for a period of eleven weeks. it was announced today by Dean Charles F. Carusi.

The school year at the institution yhas been divided into four terms— to any three terms constitute a school vear within the requirement of three school years for the bachelor's de- gree. ‘This step has been taken, Dean’ Carusi explained, largely as a result of the increase in attendance during the summer of law students in Washington. —_— Junior High Course of Instruction May Be Abandoned. Unless more seventh and eighth grade tecahers register immediately the special junior high school ccurse, arranged to be given &t Cen- tral High School during the summer under the joint direction of school authorities and George Washington University, it will be abandoned, i was announced last night by Dr. Frank W.

In order that there may be no delay in the completion of the arrangements for the course, the su- perintendent said it is necessary that the teachers interested register at once. PRESIDENT BACKS CADET: Disapproves Court-Martial of Stu- dent at West Point. President Harding has disapproved the sentence of dismissal imposed by a general court-martial at West Point, N. Y., in the case of Cadet Corp. Alexander G. Greig, third class, |C ps of Cadets. “The court said the President in his review of the case. “found Cadet Greig guilty of willfully and know- ingly making a false certificate that written wiyk submitted by him to the department of English in a general review was exclusively his own, whereas in fact it was the work of another, and if I were satisfied that the evidence warranted such find- ings 1 should have no hesitation- in confirming the sentence of dismissal. since it is of the utmost importance that cadets who are to be future offi- cers of the Army should be impressed with the necessity of absolute truth- fulness in official reports, and that those high standards of serupulous ‘honesty and individual honor which have always characterized the Corps of Cadets at the Military Academy | be maintained. “A careful study of the evidence in this case, however, fails to sat- isty me that the accused acted with @ dishonest mdtive, which is the gravamen of the offense charged, and for that reason the findings and sen- tence are disapproved.” ASKS TO BE RETIRED. Rear Admiral Willlam H. G. Bul- lard, commanding the Yangtse patrol force in China, has applied to the Navy Department for retirement un- der the forty-year service clause of the retirement law. His application undoubtedly will be granted, and an- other ‘officer of high rank assigned to relleve him from duty in China. ASKS $10,000 FOR DEATH. Lucy E.
