At the naval alr station, Anacostia, D. C, a few weeks ago, however, Lieut. A. J.

BROKE FAITH, RAILWAY CHARGES Congress Committee Hears Northern Pacific Plea for 3,000,000 Acres. A joint congressional committee began consideration today of the land grants to the Northern Pacific Rail- way, over which a dispute s arisen between the road and the Department of Agriculture, and which 3,000,000 acres in the nationab for of Montana, Idaho and Washington. The rallroad company claims the land under grants dating b k to Civil War days, while Government officlals assert it has received what it is entitled to. Promixed S0-Mile Belt. President Donnelly of the road, the first witness, sketched the history of the line and declared the law of 1864 provided that th president should have lands surveyed 40 miles in width on both sides of the road and if this covenant had been performed there never would have been a shortage of lands with which to supply the grant. Mr. Donnelly contended the survey of the lands should have been made by the Government with the comple- tion of each 25 miles of the railroad's construction, as this would have en- abled the railroad to obtain patents to the land, which, in turn, cou!d have been available to the road in securing funds with which tp continue construc- tion. Representative Raker, Democrat, Californta, asked if there was any law or court decision to compel the Gov- ernment to make this survey. This question precipitated a pro- longed discussion, Mr. Donne!ly taking ione view and Mr. Raker another. At this point Mr. Donnelly summed the railroad’s position as follows Both Sides in Default. “There were many good reasons why Congress accepted the road, though not finished in time, and ex- cused the company from its apparent default. One of these reasons is that the Government was always in de- fault in respect of its obligations to the company. It was expressly pro- vided by section 6 of the act of 1864 that the President should cause the lands to be surveved for 40 miles in width on both sides of the entire line after the general route should be fixed and as fast as might be re quired by the construction of the was a covenant of great im portance to the company, for survey as fast as the rallroad was bullt would have given the company clear legal title, and to that extent would | greatly have sustained its credit and would have tended to speed its con- struction. Also If this covenant had been performed there never would have been a shortage of public lands to supply the grant.”” VISIT KING TUT’S TOMB. Tourists From Washington Are Admitted by Special Permit. Special permission to enter the tomb of Tut-ankh-Amen was recently given by the Egyptian prime minister to a group of American travelers which included Mrs. William Hamilton Bayly and Mrs. Simon Wolf of Washington and Mrs. John C. Pennie, formerly of this city, according to letters racelved here. With Mrs. George C. Barnes of Chi- cago and other friends, these tourists | were en route from Luxor to the | valley of the Kings when the gov- ernment official, with his sulte, met them and gave orders to admit them to the famous tomb, which had not yet been opened for the season to the publie. Following their inspection they meet Howard Carter, discoverer of the sepulcher, had a chat with him and were photographed in a group . TRADE METHOD ASSAILED.

To the self-same Vermont hills from which he is himself sprung, Calvin ‘Coolidge has gone for a new Attor- ney General of the United States John Garibaldi Sargent first saw the 1ight of day at Ludlow, Vt, which is 11 miles south of Plymouth, where the President was born. Ludlow 1s the nearest raflroad center for Ply,- mouth, on the Boston and Maine Rali- road. Unless one drives Into The Notch, by whioch name Plymouth 1s also known, one can only get there by travellng to ladlow by train From that ancestral heath and boy- hood environment, Calvin Coolldge taken the man who now Is to d the Department of Justice. Th sident has long had “faith Massachusetts”” But his faith in Vermont is of even mora venerable vintage. “Vermont Is my birthright, Mr. Coolidge said on a famous occa- sion. “Here one gets close to nature, in the mountains, in the brooks, the waters of which hurry to the sea; in the lakes, shining like silver in their green setting; flelds tilled, not by ma- chinery, but by the brain and hand of man. My folks are happy and contented. They belong to them- selves, live within thelr income, and fear no man." Hax High Standing. A type of those “folks” of his is John Garibaldi Sargent, who is to be- come President Coolidge's chief legal adviser. Mr. Coolldge has long known of Mr. Sargent's high standing at the bar and for years esteemed him as the fncarnation of that rugged New England probity which all denizens $415,000 IN REALTY IS SOLD FOR TAXES Collector Reports Delinquency for Year 1924 as Largest in District History. in More than $415,000 in delinquent real estate taxes for the flscal year 1924 was taken in as a result of the auc- tion tax sale last week, Collector C M. Towers announced today. This was the largest sale in the history of the District government. Out of about 16,000 parcels of land offered for sale, 9,546 were sold. There | were 30 bidders at the sale, but four individuals bought in the bulk of the property offered. When a piece of property is sold for taxes the purchaser merely pays to the District the unt of tax, plus the penalty that has accrued since the tax became due. The purchaser re- ceives a tax certificate, which he is required to hold for two years. At any time during that period the origi- nal owner mdy redeem his property by paying the tax and penalty to the tax sale purchaser. If, at the end of the two yvears, the owner has not redeemed, the tax sale purchaser is entitled to apply to the | Commissioners for a tax deed, which constitutes a cloud on the title until the owner reaches a settlement with the holder of the deed. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, ploneer suffragist, has abandoned national politics to devote her efforts toward the abolishment of war.

Mr. Sargent is described by his friends as big in stature, girth and intellect. He is a giant physical- ly, standing 6 feet 3 inches in his stocking feet and welghing a few years ago, just before he turned 60, between 250 and 260 pounds. He is what {s commonly called a raw-boned, burly figure of a man, whose exterlor commands instant respect fidence, and betokens an that can be banked upon low Vermonters ashington assert that is exactly the type of lawyer and citizen Mr. Sargent {s. One is Associate Justice Stafford of the District of Columbia Supreme Court. The other is Judge Orfon M. Barber of the United States Court of Customs Appeals. Mr. Sargent, since his retirement in 1912 from four years in the attorney alship of Vermont, been a country lawver In his native town of Ludlow. His reputation 1s State- wide and he has always enjoyed a lucrative practice, though he is not rich. His visits to Washington have been infrequent. He knew the late Senator Dillingham of Vermont, well and visited him. An occasional Ver- mont case before the Supreme Court used to bring him here, too. Until four or five years ago he was not Court, and had to seek admission on the eve of a case he was about to argue in that tribunal Two fel- otable Predecessors Recalled.

Taney from Frederick, Md, a community of 3,000 souls in that day, yet Taney gave the Dred Scott decision and made himself immortal in the annals of American Jjurisprudence. President McKinley took Willlam R. Day from the small town of Canton, Ohio, and made him, successively, Seeretary of State and an assoclate justice of the United States Supreme Court. Mr. Sargent is a fine speaker, a sound lawyer, endowed with a keen sense of humor, and youthful in mind and body far beyond his 64 vears life. This writer hears him called “Harlan_ Fiske Stone” kind of man. Mr. Juslice Stafford says Sargent al- way reminds him of the great Irish commoner, Daniel O'Connell, in ap- pearance—which may or may not have had anything to do with his nomination to the attorney general- ship on St. Patrick’s Day. President Coolidge's foreign policy includes a movement to codify inter- national law. John Garibaldi gent was once chairman of a mont commission on uniform State laws. The new Attorney General gets his middle name from the fact that his parents, both Anglo-Saxon by ori- gin, were admirers of the Ital Iiberator, who was at the zenith of his world-wide fame when Sargent was born in 1860.

Fishing Is Chief Sport. By the Associated Press LUDLOW, Vt, March 18—John G rgent, new Attorney General of the nited States, is known here as a man of many-sided {nterests. His hob- bies range from the collection pipes, of which he is reputed to have more than 100, to that of Orfenta rugs, while for recreation he prefers nothing so much as fishing. Although the new Attorney General has owned an automobile for years, he still prefers to harness up a pair of horses to a spring wagon and drive | off for a day's outing to some nearby | village. His car {s of anclent vintage but it seems to serve the compara- tively simple requirements of Sar- gent better than might a new ma- | chine At home he revels In his pipes and books. Frequently when Winter snow | drifts heavily upon his town he set- | tles down in his library for a day or two of repose and study. When the Winter gives way to| Spring he busies himself with the family garden. Perhaps because as a he worked in his fathers fields later while golng through Tufts| College helped to earn tuition money through summer labor on Vermont farms, he has always kept his own little garden, which materially helps to stock the cellar at Harvest time.
