SENATE APPOINTEE FACES SEAT FIGHT Governor Held Not Empow- ered to Fill Vacancy in North Dakota. tric n BY G. GOULD LINCO! The appointment vesterday of So lie of North Dakota to fill the vacancy in the Senate caused by the death of Senator Ladd of that State was a complete surprise to political Wash- ington. It was predicted last night that the appointment would lead to a battle in the Senate over his right to be seated, on the ground that the Legislature of North Dakota has not given the governor the right specific- ally to appoint to fill vacancies in the United States Senate, and that such vacancies can only be filléd through popular selections. Senator Frazier of North Dakota. in- surgent Republican and one of the La Follette group which was excluded from party councils by the regular Republican organization and denied committee assignments as Repub- licans, said he believed the governor had a right to appoint. “I have no doubt,” he added Mr. Nve will be seated.” In support of this he referred to a State law which gives the governor authority to fill vacancies in State and district offices. “that Nye Is Progressive. “Mr. Nye is a progressive and I am very glad that Gov. Sorlie has appointed him to the Senate.” Sen- ator Frazier said. “I think that he will make an admirable and able Sen- ator.” Senator Ladd died June 22, 1325, Since that time there have been varying reports from North Dakota. | At one time it was said the governor would appoint the widow of Senator Ladd, but this was later denied. It was variously reported that he would and would not make an appointment. The progressives, the Non-Partisan Leaguers, at one time were anxious for the governor to call a special elec- tion to fill the vacancy. There were so many candidates for the nomination and election that it seemed likely the “regular” Repub. lican faction probably would be able 0 put its candidate in office beca 1se of the division in the ranks of the progressives. Gov. Sorlie made it clear that he did not desire to call an election at a time when the farmers were engaged in getting in their crops and later that he was opposed to holding a special election, which would cost the State thousands of dollars, when there are State-wide primaries and elections (o he held next year, lLast week he called a <pecial election for next June to fill the vacancy. It was expected that the matter would rest until that elec ton and that North Dakota would he represented in the Senate this Win- ter by only one Senator— Senator Frazier. Appointee Is “Leaguer.” Mr. Nye is the publisher of Griggs County Sentinel-Courier, at Cooperstown. N. D. He was born in Wisconsin December 19, 1892, He has been a Non-Partisan Leaguer since the organization of that league. It Mr. Nve is seated he will be the youngest member of the Senate except Senator Rohert M. La Follette, ., who is 30 vears old. Nye will be 33 in December. Like Senator- elect La Follette, he belongs to the Progressive group. Mr. Nve was 4 supporter of the candidacy of the late Senator La Follette for the presidency last vear. He also was a Non-Partisan League candidate for the House in the second congr N the (Continued on Page 4.

Firemen Remember Cold Useless Trips And Trap ‘Joker’ Punching Fake Alarms A year ago, on a chilly night, three false alarms called firemen out of warm engine houses.

BY WILL P. KENNEDY. Construction of a gzreat memo! entrance to the National Capital from the South, unsurpassed historicall or utility anywhere in the world, will probably be ordered by the incoming Congress After considering for 40 years the project of building the Mount Vernon to link the home and burial place of George Washington with the Capital City of the Nation, which he visioned and laid out, Con gress seems disposed officially to au thorize this as the Virginia approach 10 the new Arlington Memorial Bridz now under construction. It is anticipated that this M Vernon boulevard will be compieted lefore the world comes to the City of Washington in 1932 to pay its re spects to the “Father of His Country At his tomb on the Mount Vernor estate. where he lived as a country zentleman before the Revolution Moore to Push Bill. Representative R. Walton Moare of Virginia, who represents the Moun! Vernon district and who introduced in the House the resolution, since enacted into law. under which the commission headed by Presiden Coolidge was directed to make pro visions for properly celebrating t of Washington's birth will promptly reintroduce his bill fo construction and maintenance of the Mount Vernon houlevard when Congress meets next month This legislation has the support of Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of the Iederal Bureau of Public Roads; of Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, presi- dent general of the National Society Revolu- tion: of Charles Moore, chairman of the Fine Arts Commission, formerly secretary of the committee which it 1901 made a comprehensive report on the park system of the District of Columbia: of Lieut. Col. Clarence O. Sherrill, engineer officer, executive cer of the Arlington Memor: dge Commission and of the tional Capital Parks Commiss William Tyler Page, clerk of the House of Representatives and execu tive secretary of the commission celebration of the bicentennial birth: of the Wash- ington Board of Trade, and scores of other civic, patriotic and histor- ical assoclations The great desirability of connecting Mount Vernon with the Capital by an agreeable and dignified approach was recognized by Congress in 1339, when the chief of engineers was call- ed upon for a survey and estimates for such a national road. Urged in McMillan Report. In the famous McMillan Park Com mission report of 1901, which is con sidered a valuable supplement to the original Washington and L'Enfant plan for the Capital, bringing the program up to modern conditions and changed topography, the Mount Ver- non boulevard is emphatically urged the report saving: “It would present such a series of beautiful views of the broad portion of the Potomac Valley as would give it a priceless recreative value for the future popu lation of the District, in addition to its sentimental value as linking the Nation's Capital with the home of its founder.” That report was written by Mr. Moore, who is now chairman of the Commission of Fine Arts whose chief function is to see that the esthetic plans for development of Washington as the most beautiful city in the world shall be carried through consistently. The Mount Vernon boulevard will be the approach from the South to the new Arlinzton Memorial Bridge, which is to be the most beautiful bridge in the world. It will link in with the new processional avenue from the Capitol along the Mall to Lincoln Memorial and across the new bridge to Arlington National Cem etery. It will also link in with the entire_park system of the Capital with the riverside drive and the park way drive entirely surrounding the city connecting up the chain of old forts. It would connect with the new Lee highway traversing the country and with the proposed palisade dr; on both sides of the Potomac to Great Falls. The Mount Vernon boulevard proj- ect has had the sympathetic con sideration of Congress for nearly two score vears and has been persistent Iy advocated by many of those mem bers who have farsightedly worked for the development and beautifica tion of the National Capital, especial ly with a view to making it easier for all the people of the country to visit the home and tomb of Wash ington. particularly in these days of general automcbile tourinz. Commission Soon to Meet. The commission to arrange for the celebration of the bicentennial of the birth of George Washington is to meet here soon afte= T ingress meets, early in_ December. President Cool- idge is chairman of that commission, and Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio is vice chairman. There are 19 mem- bers. It is proposed that in this cele. bration not only the entire United States, but many other nations as well, will unite. The Mount Vernon boulevard project will be one of the principal recommendations to be made to the commission when it meets. Willlam Tyler Page, the ex- ecutive clerk, is one of the most ar dent advocates.of the Mount Vernon boulevard as a proper feature of the celebration. It is expected that the co-operation of this bicentennial birth- day commission will greatly assist in passage of the Moore bill. Representafive Moore himself has received assurances from colleague.: which show a growing sentiment in all parts of the country in favor of building the M Vernon boulavard.
