After a number of which he sacrificed his own political ambitions for those of his friends, Nick™ Longworth finally has arrived. He has lived down a great handicap. for it was freely predicted when he arried “Princess Alice” Roosevelt at the height of the Roosevelt reign in the White House. that henceforth Representative Longworth would be »wn to the world as T. R.’s son-in- law, his own modest identity being compl v swallowed up in the light of glory beating so brilliantly about the distingulshed father-in-law. They tried to tie the title of “crown those who thought him worth tying anything to, just as later so many political antagdnists en- deavored to fasten the same Sou- briquet upon Willlam Gibbs McAdoo when he married the daughter of Presi- dent Wilson, But Nick Longworth, refusing to be discouraged, has stuck to his knitting. He has been a good soldier. He has fought the good party fight. When his father-in-law threw a large sized sabot into the machinery of the G. 0. P. in 1912, Nick suffered along with the other patriots and was de- feated for re-election to the House, the only time he has tasted de at the hands of the home folks out in sional SMALL. setbacks service.

Hamlett took the injured woman to the hospital where she died at an early hour this morning from frac- ture of the skull and internal in- juries.

LONGWORTH REACHES AMBITION; SACRIFICED MUCH FOR FRIENDS red Down Handicap of Great Neme, Pursued | Ideals, But Occasionally Stepped Aside in Deferance to Another’s Aims. He knows that the speakership still is symbolic of the highest honors in the House and he has realized a high ambition. The speakership amounts to as much to day as it did when Mr. Gillett was chosen back in 1919 and at that time the gentleman from Massachusetts exclaimed “I want above be Speaker of the House. But now Mr. Gillett has moved on to the Senate. Perhaps Nick is headed In the same direction Eyes on Senate, Alice Longworth has long had a ing for the Senate. During the League of Nations fight she scarcely missed a day in the gallery, hat off, and lean- Ing over the rail to catch every word. She wanted Nick to run for the Sen- ate in 1920. So di® he, but his love of Warren Harding kept him out of the primary until it was too late. After Nick was chosen floor leader in the House, Mrs. Longworth deserted the Senate, More than ever now she will be a House visitor—or as much of & visitor as Miss Paulina will permit. Princess Alice has known the handi- cap of association with a great name. She has felt it has militated against the individuality of her brother, young Theodore Roosevelt, who has been able to do little if anything in his own right. That is why she had de- cided to name her baby Paul if it had been a boy. She though Theodor Roosevelt Longworth might have proved a millstone. So might Theo- dora. So baby Longworth is Paulina and will be handicapped, it at all, only by the fact that she may be known as the offspring of an extremely pop- peaker of the House ed to be a czar. everything else to TWO SENT TO 0CCOQUAN; THREE GET PROBATION Sentences Given by Justice McCoy for Housebreaking, Shoplifting and Receiving Stolen Goods.

By the Associated Press, RALEIGH, N. C, February 28.— Having delivered another verbal at- tack against the Stone Mountain Monumental Assoclation’s executive committee of Atlanta, Gatzon Borg- lum, dismissed sculptor of the Confed- erate memorial which is being carved on the mountain, today was supposed to be northward bound, says the Raleigh News and Observer. Borglum arrived here yesterday, visited a friend and recefved a News and Observer reporter before leaving on a train at 11 o'clock last night, the paper says, adding that the sculp- tor denfed charges that he had de- stroyed models of the memorial be- fore leaving Atlanta. Dekalb County officials have tele- graphed officers in many Southern cities to arrest Borglum and hold him for Georgla authorities to answer a charge of malicious mischief in con- nection with the alleged destruction of models at Stone Mountain. No ef- fort, however, was made to arrest Borglum while he was here, the police chief saying he had not received the Dekalb request. Denies Model Existed. Borglum declared thers had been no model of the memorial; that weeks ago he had discarded a “rough model that had been in use, the texture of the stone of the mountain and the contours of the strata having made it usless,” the paper s “There isn’t a corpuscle in my blood that Joafs,” the sculptor is quoted as saying in reply to charges of the ex- ecutive committee that he had wasted his time on the memorial In regard to the Confederate Me- morial coins the sculptor stated, a cording to the newspaper: “At the last meeting of the execu- tive committee they attended they it there with a contract to give these coins as a reward to women for purchasing $5 worth of | underclothes—handle them in depart- |ment stores when they were design- |ed for a high purpose. They give this | memorial to their fathers, this work |of an artist, this American coin—this is the first tribute of the Nation to | your heroes—they give it a te | haggling bargain hunters for a small | premium.

Election by acclamation at the Re- publican caucus last night of Rep- resentative John Quillin Tilson of Connecticut to be floor leader in th next Congress brings into natlonal prominence a man of rare ability who has been well trained for the posi- tion he is about to take. He is essentially a man of the peo- ple and for the people. He was born on a farm in Clearbrook, Tenn., in 1866. This is a mountainous section and the Tilson home (built of logs, but not a typical log cabin), was a mile from the nearest neighbor and three miles from the nearest school. While the family was poor, the big log house of Squire Tilson (the Rep- resentative’s father) was nevertheless the biggest residence within many miles and, there being no inns or taverns nearby, traveling preachers, candidates for public office and others often stopped there over night as his father's guests. Earns Way Through College. The man who last night was chosen to lead the dominant party in the House in early youth becam. imbued With a desire to educate him- self from listening to the conversa- tion of these guests, In included from time to time many of the most prominent men of the State | of 20 he per-| to| obtain an| in politics. At the age suaded his parents to allow strike out for himself to education, and he earned way through Carson and College in Tennesses, and later through Yale, which he attended six years, receiving the degrees of AB, LLB and ML. He first earned his way at New Haven by doing odd jobs and later obtained a position in the circulation department of a local newspaper, which he held through most of his college course. After finlshing at the Yale Law School he decided to practice law in New Haven instead of returning to his native State and continued in practice there with White & Daggett, later White, Daggett & 7Tilson, until elected Congressman at large from Connecticut in 1908. His law practice was briefly interrupted during the panish War by service with the 6th Tennessee Immunes. After the war he served 19 years in the Connecticut Natlonal Guard, going through all tha ranks from private to lieutenant- colonel, in which latter rank he com- manded the Connecticut Infantry at the mobilization on the Mexican border in 1916. Member for 14 Years. He has been a member of Congress for 14 years, continuously except be tween 1913 and 1914. His committee service has been on the military af- fairs committee, of which he was a member until after the World War, and since then on the ways and means committee. His military experience, which had been augmented by wide reading on military subjects, made him one of him his own which were | Newman | the most important members of the military committee from the start, and during the war he came to be considered the ordnance expert of| Congress, making numerous speeches which served to keep the Conggess informed of the Army's needs in the way of ordnance material and the necessity for ample funds for 1m- provement and experfmentation. His speeches on ordnance were ordered | bound in a House document by the vote of the House, the only time this has been done until recently, when a similar compliment was pald to speech on amendment to the Consti- tution made by the Democratic floor leader, Finis J. Garrett of Tennessee. Backs Equipment Supply. One of the most important works accomplished by Tilson during his long legislative experience, and yet one little known, was the advocacy of a policy of natlonal defense, which has been adopted by the War Depart- ment and by Congress under the Government keeps on hand a sup- ply of gauges and special tools, with the aid of which factories now en- gaged in varled lines of industry may, at short notice, be transformed i munition plants. The foundation this policy lies in the fact that machinery used in making many ar ticles is practically the same except as to the drilling and cutting attach- ments and that if a supply of the drilling and cutting attachments used for the manufacture of ordnance mate- | rfal is kept on hand the machinery may be transformed with little delay and ef- fort. With the necessary precision gauges also on hand production may be started almost at once. Backed Mellon Plan. Since becoming a member of the ways and means committes he has necessarily devoted most of his time to the tariff and taxes. He was strong advocate of the tax reform plan of Secretary Mellon which was laid before Congress a year ago. In addition to his work on military subjects, on taxes and on the tarl Tilson has found time to devote c siderable attention to other subjects, | of the most important of which “standardization.” He first becan interested in this subject through i relation to national defense, but has followed it into other fields, is the father of the National Screw Thread Commission, which was e tablished to standardize screw threa The purpose is to establish standards | for_screws that the same type of the is Pny What You Will STUDEBAKER You Can Buy no Finer Car e L "(u,,w)l"“ which | screws can be used interchangeably on a Cadillac, a Ford or a sewing machine. The commission has been at work on the problem for three years and has made considerable prog- ress in the direction of the ideal state of affairs desired Another quiet a Tilson which ctivity in which Mr, engaged for some time and undoubtedly had far-reaching effects was the distribution of a pam- phlet on the Constitution to school children.
