CITIZENS PROTEST - ON HEATING PLANT Petition on McKinley School Arrangement Is Prepared for House Body. A protest against the heating plant <i the new MeKin- lev High School at streets, on the ground that be a community nuieance in that particular vieinity, was preparad today to be filed with the special House committee investigating District af faire when it resumed its sessions this afternoon The protest, in the form of a pati tion signed by sight residents of the Eckington section, etated that the strict Commissioners apparentix are determined to ‘ignore the hest| interests of the people” and are “zo ing ahead" with their original plans instead of heeding the recommenda tions of the Fine Arts Commission, come membere of Congress and others. | Wording of Petition. | The petition as presented by R. H.! Alcorn, a signer. follows | “Soon after the plans were mads| known protest was made to the Com- missioners and to members of the! Jiouse and Senate committess on the | District of Columbia. Many of tha| residents appeared befors a commit-| tee of the Senate committee on '\r} shout June 11. at which Commissioner | Rell with Mr. Harris. the municipal{ architect, was present. Membere of | the Senate present were Senators Capper, Sackett and Copeland. At ! this hearing quite a bit of cuseion ! was had as to the reasons why the heating plant should not he placed at the point indicated in the plans. | at Second and R streets northeast Commissioner Bell pointad out that: the contract had bedh lat and that if | the plans were to he changed wel would have to get the consent of the | Fine Arts Commission. He pointed out that they would have a meeting | on June 17. and suggested that we have a representative committes ap- pear hefore the Fine Arts Commis cion to present our case there. This wae done. Aside from representatives | of the citizens of Washington appear- ing before the commission, Mr. Har rie. the municipal architect, was there contending that his plans be carried out. However, after the memhers of | the Fine Arts Commission had made | A personal inspection of the premises | and the arguments presented they handed down a decision recommend ing that the power plant and heating plant be not placed at Second and R etreats and that it be joined with the ( Langley Junior High School “This same view was taken by members of the House and Senate committes on the District, and our people thought the matter had heen cattled when Comfhissioner Rell wrote o letter to Senator Sackett, June 23, insisting that the original plans he carried out, netwithstanding the fact that the members of the Senate and House committees on the District recommended that the plans be changed and that the heating plant ha joined with the Langley Junior High School, which is fn the same block. Later on in the Summer. toward the last of August. the residents of the vicinity were vary much surprised tn find that the plans as proposed by | the municipal architect and Commis cinner Bell were haing carried out, in that steam shovels and the contrac- tore were engaged in excavating in preparation for installing the heating plant at Seeond and R strests. Our citizens appealed to the full Board of Commissioners and_wera given a | hearing on September §. and e were lad to helieve. after the matters were thoroughly discussed and the merits and demerite of the case were brought out. that the plans would he changed However. later on a suhcommittes was appointed, consisting of an a ant engineer and two other sider the matter. and after consid erable delay hrought in a raport recommending that the origina! plan be carried out Tgnored Best Interests. “It {s the firm belief of the citizens of Eckington that the Commissioners, the municipal architect and others whe might be concerned in thie mat ter have altogether ignored the interests of the people in our vicinity, and we call attention tn the recom: mendation of the Fine Arts ‘ommis sion. Senator Capper. Senator Cope land and Congressmen Zihiman, Gih £on and Beers, who. after making a perconal inspection of the grounds and the proposed Iocation of the heating plant and considering the arguments presented, thev tan. suggested that the plans be changed.

Rut_never to the last was he in doubt’ as to the hearing the House | wonld give him. never did he fail of a full audience among his colleagues and of deep interest in his remarks. Born in a little Quaker settlement near Guilford. N. .. May 7. 1836, and named for Joseph Gurney, s famous Quaker, Mr. Cannon often remarked {1hat he seemad to have drifted away f1om the faith and habits of the piou People whom Gurney led. For he was a flery, rough-and-tumble fighter al- ways. On the floor he fought with whirling arms and contortions of his bady to drive home i3 words. Tn one exciting battle the late Champ Clark. dubbed him ‘““The Dane- ing Dervish of Danvilla” and brought down upon his head the wrath of ‘Uncle Joe” Once in the heat of dsbate, Mr. Clark said he saw Mr. Gannon do a trick not duplicated by A Speaker since the confusion of longues at Babel—make a complete “T'ncle Jos" amoked incessantly, a clgar tilted sharply upward toward his | hat brim, and cartooniets never failed to dvaw him that way.

Rut notwithstanding the sharp bite, “Uncle Jae" bravely attacked them, declaring “it was not right to look a gift horse In the mouth when the gift horse was in the White House. Ignored His Crities. Mr. Cannon al reporters exag In the same way ways smiled when gerated stories about his swearing and gambling. Harpooned from one end of the country to the other, he merely shrugged his drooping shoul ders and went back at night te the game. “Raising the tariff in the aft- arnoon and the ante at night” was one of his pet remarks when asked how he killed time. Because he never rushed fo deny remarks attributed to him, he be. came a rich sonrce for some reporters to draw on for fmaginary interviews. During the World War somebody wrote that Mr. Cannon had said the Army officers in Washington wore apurs to keep their feet from slipping off War Department desks. Hun- dreds of officera were bitter in de. nouncing the former Speaker. but he never denied it—he just smiled and gave his cigar a different tilt. Of course. he never said it. It was mere. Iy an {llustration of how words {were constantly put in his mouth. As Speaker Mr. Cannon knew how to control a turhulent hody. Holding the gavel in his left hand - for he was left-handed—he gave the slab of his desk a glancing blow that sounded like a rifie shot, and brought unruly membera to attention. Curses fre quently were flung at him as mem hers surged out of the chamber. but invariably he smilad and smoother the ruffied feelings of a member denied recognition by handing him a cigar. That was Cannon's way, and while they hated him in the chair, they laved him in the lohhy. Fought for Economy. As chairman of the appropriations in the days when there were no billion-dollar budgets Cannon fought eternally to hold do expenditures. He was the actual floor leader in all appropriation fights. Never preparing a speech. he stood in the center of a hostile body, some- times speaking with the voice of a child, sometimes screaming and bit- ing off his words, often prancing up and down the center aisle, with his left arm waving. And at the end, { when the rattle of votes showed that he had won, the veteran danced up and down the floor and then retired itn the cloakroom to do a highland i fling. 3 was his stvle of debate. He pretended ta be an orater and he was not. Once as he was waltz ing up and down the aisle, Speake Reed. eveing him closely, called out. otio voce: “loe, vou ean't on mileage.” In his latter vears “Uncls Jo standing at the entrance of the Capi tol. heard the whirr of many air- planes and saw a flock of machines overhead.

When Joe Cannon was 4 vears old his father, a country school teacher and self-taught doctor, migrated from North Carolina, with ten other fam- ilies, hecause he hated slavery. [ol- lowing the old Natfonal road prairie schooners, they eventually set- tled on the banks of the Wabash, near Terre Haute, Ind. There the father, while swimming the swollen river to aid a sick nelgh- hor, was drowned. and Joe was left the main support of the family.

He made daily visits to the Second National Bank. which hecame known as “the Cannon | Bank,” and also attended the weekly | dinners of the Kiwanis Club. And al- most to the end he smoked his big { black cigars. | While returning to his home after | retiring from Congress the story was |8ént throughout the country that Uncle Joe'" had quit smoking. When he reached Chicago a friend offered {him a cigar and it was declined. See. ing that the man felt hurt and some. what embarrassed, Mr. Cannon quick- {1 explatned that he haa quit smok- ng. Wary of Trick Cigars. I The real reason for declining the | proffered cigar w: ! when the newspapers of the country | featured the news that the former | Speaker had quit smoking. Mr. Can- non then explained that once he was given a trick cigar which injured his face, and since that time he had been wary of proffered smokes. Mr. Cannon came to accept the af- factionate designation “Uncle Joa" as his very own, but when asked about | ite origin said he did not know how it came ahout. “T was quite well known from coast to coast as Uncle Joe, and also in Europe,” he said, “b® it remained for a little girl in my own home town | to tell me T was no uncle of hers.” The denial of relationship was made hy a telephone operator. Mr. Cannon had put in a call for Wash- ington from the home of his son-in law, Ernest e Seure, but told the operator to “charge it to Uncle Joe.” “1 can't help it it you are Uncle Joe” Mr. Cannon sald the operator repiied, “you are no ui-le of mine and you'll have to get Mr. Le Seure's 0. K. to this call before it goes through.” Injury Preceded Decline. Mr. Cannon's decline in vigor and health hegan with an accident shortly after his retirement from (engress. While in the basement of his home he fell on a coal pile and suffered a fracture of the right arm. The break mended, but he alwaya guarded the {member’ with_cars. and when greeting friends offered his right elbow or left hand. In his retirement the radio aided Mr. Cannon to apan the distance he. tween his home and Washington, the scene of so much of his life's activity. He often discussed in his gossip with friends men and events of 30 and 40 years and even half a century before, but when recent world and national events were spoken of he either was silent or turned the conversation to a parallel case of years gone by. An_ivy-colored Methodist Church | opposite his home was a_source of | consolation to Uacle Joe during his { declining vears. He often recalled the time, more than 25 years before, when his wife, who dled several years ago, planted the iv Votes of-Four Generations. Unele Joe entered politics as a can didate for State's attorney when he lived at Tuscola, a little town in Ver- milion County, and hefore his long term in Congress ended it was said that four generations of voters of many familles in the county had cast | thefr ballots for him. One of the first acts of Cannon, after he quit the arena of public life and went home to Danville to live his waning vears as a private citizen, was to foln this Methodist Church. Never a church membher during his congres- sional career, (annon hecame a reg. { ular attendant and a substantial con- | tributor. Soon after his ninetieth hirthday he turned over the first spade of earth for a new church, erected on the site of his late brother's home. and ex- pressed confidence that he would live Ito attend services in the edifice. | The business district of Danville crept around his home. which once { had heen in the outskirts of the city, i but it remained his fortr and he resisted its abandonment in favor of A new home farther aut. Tn his study. lined with cartonns of the former Speaker and with auto graphed photographs of famous friends, he sat daily to peruse his per- onal mail and to dictate to his stenog rapher. . As his strength ehbed he found increasing pleasure in Hstening to the radio and every day he read from his Bible. He smoked less in his later vears, hut insisted that he never had smoked as much as the public intimated from He always smoked mild N In the latter months of his life he remarked that he could not speak or think connectedly for very long, and recalled that he never was a con speaker, hut that his oratory wna made up rather of firebrands. He saldom attempted after his retirement to grant interviews, or to make a pub- trict. and he ran again, and was elect- ad, serving for eight vears. In all his political career he had but thres defeats at the polls, the two other times being. in races for Congress. In 1822 “T'ncle Joe" announced his retirement, after 46 years of service, ! and when Congress adjourned late in September carried out a long-cher- ished ambition to'go West again over the route he traveled in his mother arme 82 vears hefore. He started from Washington by automobile, but because of fatigue was forced to abandon the trip at Indlanapolis. “1've had enough,” he said, in dis-| cussing his retirement to private life. “It's 30 vears since 1 first went to {an addrs: lic appearance of any sort.

Ruffalo was reached by nightfall. It was a windy evening, and the flags of the many Rumanians who had come out. in their white, embrold- ered costumes to meet us waved in the breeze in billows of color. The mayor of Buffalo was very ill, so he could not receive us, but Mr. Moore. the deputy mayor, replaced him with splendid heartiness. He accompanied me in my car in a solemn proces: sion through the streets, a band marching before followed by oty Rumanian flags and all.
