He began the series with an elucidation of points in the United Niates Constitution which, he as- serted, were frequently misconstrued or misunde! e Among the points covered were: "hat there Is no constitutional provi- sion, and never has been, to prevent 4 woman from being elected Prosi- dent or Vice President of the United States; that there is nothing in the Constitution to stand in the way of a President serving three, four or five terms if he ean be elected, and that ihe Constitution does not ‘give the vight to vote” tu a citigen, but merely defines that his voting shall never be abridged or denied because of “race, color or sex or previous con- dition of servitude.” Other talks in the series are sched- uled for ensuing Saturday nights.

The human side of Abraham Lin- coln, as an orator, lover, “overcomer,” and champion, was brought to life last night by Representative Richard Yates of Iilinois, when he addressed the Lincoln’s birthday anniversary exercises of the League of Republican Organizations of the District of Col- umbia at the Willard Hotel. Marshal Snyder Chairman. The meeting, of which United States Marshal Edgar Snyder was chairman, was presided over by Mrs. Virginia White Steele, president, League of Republican Women, and was also addressed by William Tyler Page, clerk of the House of Represen- tatives and president Republican State Voters Asgoclation, and Mrs. Henry A, Rathbone, wife of the Representative from Illinois, who recited selections of her poems; Mme. Pollio of the Wash- ington Opera Co. sang several solos The Republican State committee was represented at the meeting by T. Lin- coln Townsend. After speaking of Lincoln as an orator and describing #ome of his human traits as revealed in his love affairs, Mr. Yates declared that Lin- coln's record would astound every advocate of the theory that “the of- fice should seek the man, and not the man the offic Sought Many_ Offices. Men who seek public preferment, who aspire to the honors and awards ot puhlic service, and who either through appointment or election, are not on that account to be condemned,” he said, “Mr. Lincoln took this view of the matter. He never. hesitated to seek public preferment and never thought it beneath true manhood to do so. When the list of offices and positions to which Mr: Lincoln aspired is considered, it presents an array suf: ficient to astound every advocate of the theory that ‘the office should seek the man, not the man the office.’ “The captaincy of a militia com- puny, the postmastership of a village, the deputy surveyorship of a county, the circuit judgeship pro tem, the honorary position of delegate to a convention, the hongrary position of presidential _elector, the appointive position of Commissioner General of the Land Office, the office of Repre- sentative in the Legislature, the office of Representative in Congress, the office of United States Senator, and the unsurpassable distinction of Presi- dent of the United States, a round dozen political positions, ' were all sought by him. He did not hesitate; he did not consider any of them too small or too large. He favored political organization, and he was right.” Leader of Democracy. Mr. Snyder hailed Lincoln as the leader of democracy, whose ‘‘charac- ter is growing larger vearly through- out the world.” Mr. Page emphasized that “more meditation and less agita- tion” was needed in the country to day, in calling attention to Lincoln' “toleration, patience, and humility,” which “saved the Union and upheld the sovereignty of the States.” Mrs. Speel stated that Lincoln created, defended, and developed the principies of the Republican party. She was presented with a bouquet by Mrs. E. A. Harriman. Among the verses that Mrs. Rathbone read were, “The Sea Gull,” *“In Memory of American Sallors,” and “Sing Me a Song.” Mme, Pollio sang the follow- ing selections: “America;” aria, “Cav- alleria Rusticana;” Leoncavallo's “Aprile;’ “If No One Ever Marries Me,” and “I Passed By Your Win. dow.” had no word from the sheriff and his deputy, who went into the country $som. a different. direction. ) Benjamin Franklin thought the wild turkey most suitable as the American national bird, CLEVER MANEUVERING SAVED FORD THEATER FOR U. §. USES Lincoln’s Secretary of War Leased Build- ing and After Wrccking It Forced Government Purchase. Only by luck and a bit of “patriotic trickery” does the United States still own the Ford's Theater Building, on Tenth near E street, where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. The story Is revealed in the corre- spondence of J. A. J. Creswell of Mary- land, who was Postmaster Gieneral in the Grant administration and a mem ber of Congress during the Civil War, which has recently been received from members of the family by the division of manuscripts of the Library of Con- gress. It was discovered by Dr. Charles Moore, liead of the manuscript division, in a letter to Creswell from H. Winter Davis of Baltimore, a for- member of the House and attc ney for John H. Ford, owner of the building. Edwin M. Stanton, Lincoln’s. Secre- tary of War, realized at once that the building was invaluable as a histori- cal relic, but could not purchase it without an appropriation from Con- gress. ‘He could, however, lease it for the purposes of the War Depart- ment and did so Immediately. The lease gave the Government an option to purchase at the end of the year for $100,000, the rent paid to go toward the purchase price. Stanton, however, had little faith in Congress. As soon as the building was in his hands he proceeded to so disar- range and wreck the interior that it would cost the Nation more than $100,000 to pass it back to Ford in its original condition, as was stipulated in the lease, and Congress actually would save money by buying it. Theater Would Have Been Lost. liad iv not been for this, Dr. Moore believes, KFord's Theater long since would have disappeared, instead of re- maining as an appropriate home for a museum of American history to house the Lincoln collection, as proposed in the Rathbone bill now before Con- gress. The letter from Davis, written in Baltimore December 13, 1865, just ays before the writer died, is as “] have a matter to take up with you In which 1 have some personal in- terest, I was Ford's counsel to settle affairs about the theater with Stanton. Mr, Stanton was to purchase it for $100,000, as authorized by Congress, and in the meantime to pay rent to be deducted from the purchase price. He has torn.it almost to pieces and the cost to restore it would equal the price asked. He has fitted it up for a deposit for the rebel archives. “Ford was reluctant to sell and would have preferred to continue his business in the theater, but found the Government would not give its assent. 1t was at my earnest representation that he offered to sell under duress. Now, please see if Stanton has called the attention of C'ongress to the mat- ter and see if the appropriation is made. I ought to say that I have part of my fee unpaid.” Has Tragic History. The building has_vemained in the possession of the War Department ever since, due to Stanton’s foresight. It has had a tragicghistory, even since the assassination of Linceln. For years after its purchase it was used for files of the Medical Depart- ment of the Union Army. Records were kept there of the men who had been cared for in Washington hos- pitals, and to the small force of clerks on duty there inquiries were sent from the Pension Office. The records were in bad shape. Names were listed ac- cording to the hospital where they had been treated. During the war al- most every church in Washington had been used as a hospital, and often the veteran applying for a pension had no idea of the exact place to which he had been taken. Inquiries would come in over and over again until the hos- pital finally was located. ‘The records finally were put in or- der by Harrison Ainsworth, later li- brarian of Congress, who got the ex- tra work dene by making the clerks attend (o jt in their spare moments. Ainsworth had the reputation of a hard taskmaster and became unpopu- lar. When one of the walls of the building collapsed, killing more than a score of workers, he narrowly es- caped lynching. Need Held Imperative. .The need of this buiding as a mu- seum now is almost imperative, ac- cording to Dr. Moore, who is ~hairman of the Fine Arts Commission, as well as head of the manuscript dlvision., The Government, he points out, has acquired the Oldroyd Lincoln collec- tion, now housed in the building across the street where Lincoln died, and has no adequate place to put it. In its present quarters the collection can be seen only by a few persons at a time, and space is so crowded that any ad- ditions are impossible. Besides, the Oldroyd collection is considered far from complete. It has been gathered by an individual, with no official backing or assistance. Lin- coln relics are scattered all over the country and particularly in Washing- ton. Some of those here never are seen by the general public, although they are among the most interesting s connected with the life of the War President. Also there is a wedlth of material illustrating the life of the Civil War period which cannot be_exhibited for lack of room. In the custody of the War Depart ment, unknown to the general publi are Lincoln's diavy, the pistol with which he was shot by John Wilkes Booth and some of his official papers dealing with milltary affairs during the Civil War. Collection in Museum. In the National Museum are the following articles which belonged to Lincoln: His black broadcloth coat, black silk cravat, black eloth walst- coat, black broadcloth trousers, his black silk hat, an won wedge marked “A. L.," which he used when he was splitting rails at New Salem, IIl.; the model of an invention for uplifting vesselg over shoals patented by Lin- coln in 1849 and plaster and bronze casts of his face and hands. Besides, the Naiional Museum has an enormous amount of material deal- ing with the Civil War period, which it must keep stored away and exhibit, if at all, only for short periods, be- cause there is no space for it on the exhibition floors. Some of the most precious of Lin- coln relics have disappeared complete- ly. Among them is the celebrated “Mrs. Bixby” letter regarding the death of her son in the Union Army, which is one of the classics of Amer- ican literature. “he popular impres. sion, according to Lr. Moore, is that this letter is hanging in one of the colleges of Oxford University in Eng- land, and this statement is made in most biographies of Lincoln. As a matter of fact, he says, the original eul‘l‘l“& be located and probably never wi - Deathbed Removed. The bed on whicin Lincoln died was taken out in some way from the house on Tenth street and now is owned by the Chicago Historical So- ciety. Representative Rathbone be- lieves it can be brought back to Wash- ington if the museum is established. The location of Lincoln's family Bible also is known, Dr. Moore said, and could be secured for the museum. The Library of Congress has a great many Lincoin manuscripts and fac similes of other papers. These will be greatly increased by the Robert Todd Lincoln collection, which is in possesalon of the Library, but which cannot be made available to the public as yet because of ihe terms of Mr. Lincoln's will. Thase, however, will be kept at the Library. For the museum other important Lincoln relics have been promised, once it is established. The Tenth strest house where the Oldroyd collection now is kept, Dr. Moore believes, should be restored to represent the typical Washington bome of the Civil War period, with MANGANESE TERMS NEAR. Soviet Official Predicts Early Agreement With Harriman. MOSCOW, February 12 (#).— Adolph Joffe, vice chairman of the soviet concessions committee, ex- pressed confidence tonight that the government would soon reach an agreement with Willlam H. Harriman of New York, respecting the produc- tion and price of manganese in the Nikopol district, which heretofore has proved a serious source of competi- tion to Mr. Harriman. It is expected that this agreement will enable to combine forces of the soviet government and the Harriman Co., to compete with British a1d other manganese producers in the world markets. M. Joffe further said the government had agreed to exempt Mr. Harriman from <uilding a broad- gauge rallroad to replace the exist- ing narrow-gauge road from the Chiatoury mines to Sharopan, and would modify other terms. characteristic furniture, tures, rugs and linen. Material connected with the life of Lincoln, it was explained at the division of history of the National Museum, is rarer and consequently more valuable than is the case with most of the Presidents. Lincoln re- mained a poor man to the end of his life and had acquirad little in the way of household good: He was true to the democratic type and lived and dressed simply. He had few clothes and recelved practically ne decora- tions. The ¥ord Theater building, r. Moore believes, could also be made the depository of a Civil War library and become a headquarters for Civil “"J‘].;‘l ve;emns. e building was originally a Bap- tist church, which was remodeled m& a theater in 1861. silver, pie- LINGOLN MEMORIAL VISITED BY MANY Two Formal Ceremonies Held at Shrine—Throngs Make Personal Pilgrimages.

Grant said that Lincoln pos- sessed “serenity of mind; greatness of heart, and soliditary purpose,” and that the memorial, which he characters ized as ‘“‘one of the wonders of the world,” symbolizes in its natural dig- nity and simplicity the characteris- tics of the man it honors. Representative John M. Robsion of Kentucky, who lauded Lincoln as “the most colossal figure in American life and the most influential upon its his- tory,” detalled his early adversities and outlined the characteristics which contributed to his greatness in later days. “We should all pledge our fullest measure of devotion to the great pzinciples for which Lincoln lived and died,” he declared, “and ever to keep alive the mystic chords of memory that stretch from every patriot’s grave from Lexington to Flanders Field.” Herbert Walton Rutledge, camp patriotic instructor, presided, and Mr: Rutledge recited the Gettysburg ad- dress. Chaplain F. A, DeGroot gave the invocation and the benediction and the Navy Band played martial airs, setting the feet of the old soldiers who were guests of honor to tapping the old, old tunes. Dr. Green is Speaker. Earlier in the afternoon, at 12:15, ceremonies were conducted at the memorial by the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, Commandery of the District of Co- lumbia, with 29 patriotic organizations participating in the exercises and plac ing wreaths at the base of the me- morlal. Dr. Thomas Edward Green, of the American Red Cross, was the principal speaker, paying eloquent tribute ‘to Linceln as “a man of destiny.” Quite apart from the formal ob- servances which were peculiarly adapted to the simple setting of the memorial, scores of individuals, men, women and children, visited the shrine during the day, gazing upon the marble figure of Lincoln and read- ing anew his famous words which are carved upon the walls of the memorial and in the hearts of the American people.
