D. C. REPUBLICANS N BUY CAPITAL HOME Japanese Embassy Chancery Building Will Be - Made Party Headquarters. The four-story dwelling at the south- | west corner of Sixteenth street and Scott Circle, 1734 Sixteenth street, which for several years has been the chancery of the Japanese embassy, has just been purchased in the name of the Repub- lican State committee of the District of Columbia, to be used as headquarters for the allied Republican organizations in this city. ‘There is & movement on foot, spon- sored by local Republican leaders, to organize a large Republican club here and to have this newly acquired resi- dence as the clubhouse. However, the club idea still is in tentative form and | whether it actually materializes the Republican organizations now in ex- istence henceforth will have a perma- nent home and offices in a convenient Jocation. The residence was purchased at & price understood to be in excess of $130,000. It was bought from Harry Wardman and for the present will be held in trust by Cuno H. Rudolph and Jr., treasurer and secre- y. of the State commit- Virginia White Speel, n national committeewoman and meémber of the State committee. Other Party Organizations. Besides the State confmittee, the other party organizations which swill have uarters in this building are the Repub- lican State Voters' Association, William ‘Tyler Page, president; the League of Republican State Clubs of the District, Edgar C. Snyder, president; the League of Republican Women of the District, Mrs. E. A. Harriman, president; and the Hoover and Curtis Club, John Lewis Smith, president. ‘The latter organization came into ex- istence during the 1928 presidential campaign and has a paid membershij of more than 1,200. The other organi- zations have been functioning for & number of years and have a combined membership of more than 1,000. These party units, while separate and distinct in themselves, operate as a body during campaign period in the name of the League of Republican Organizations with Samuel J. Prescott, chairman of the State committee, as the directing head. The lease held by the Japanese em- bassy does not expire until the end of next June, which will prevent the Re- gubllun organizations taking over the ouse for occupancy until after that date. It is doubtful if any great num- ber of changes will have to be made in the interior arrangement of the house, at least not for some time. If the proposed Republican club is organized a number of alterations will be necessary, in- cluding the bullding. of an extension to the rear of the building, which will af- :&r)fl & large auditorium and assembly m. The building, one of the most im- posing in that section, is commodious and well adapted for the purpose for which it is desiged. The structure has & frontage of 41 feet on Sixteenth street and 100 feet on Scott circle, with an alley in the rear. Built for Col. Staples. ‘This residence was bullt by the late John McGregor for Col. O. G. Staples, Who for many years conducted the Riggs Hotel, at Fifteenth and G streets. Later the house became property of Princess Elaine von der Lippe ki, and it was during her owner- ship that it came in for considerabie prominence. This owner organized a club for World War Veterans, which operated under the name of the Carry- On Club, and she turned her house over 10 it as a club house. Chairman Prescott, the recognized leader of Republican activities in this city, in commenting today upon the acquisition of this bullding, stated that he is satisfied that the cause of Re- publicanism in this city, and else- where for that matter, will be greatly strengthened by having quarters ot this nature. He said there has been & need for a long time of a generat headquarters. At the present time these organiza- tions, with the exception of the State committee, virtually are homeless. When they meet as a body, or as units, or when their respective committees meet, they the quarters of the State com- mittee ©n the sixth floor of the Second National Bank Building, at 1333 G ireet. However, on the occasions of rallies or large meeting or entertain- ments it is necessary to go to one of the local hotels or obtain an auditorium or hall. Besides being the meeting place for these organizations, the newly acquired building will be used as the headquar- ters for Edward F. Colladay and Mrs. Virginia White Speel, Republican na- tional committeeman and committee~ woman, respectively. — BELGIAN QUEEN GIVEN WARNING OF HEALTH Elizabeth, Busy Directing Work on Princess’ Trousseau, Told Need of Care Following “Flu.” By the Associated Press.

THREE CHILDREN DIE FROM BOMB BLAST Police Investigate Mysterious Explosion in Kitchen in Brooklyn. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 9 —Police were sifting & mass of apparently un- related clues today seeking a solution for a bomb explosion which killed three children in the kitchen of their Brook- lyn_home. The victims were Mary Falzone, 15; Phillip, 13, and Rose, 8. ‘The mother and two smaller children were in another room and escaped in- jury. ‘The father, who was away at the time, was taken into custody for questioning when he returned. ‘The children were getting ready to attend mass yesterday at St. Joseph's Roman_Catholic Church, where Mary was to have taken her first communion. ‘The mother sent them into the kitchen to start the breakfast. Finding a package on the kitchen table, which they apparently believed to be an early Christmas gift, the chil- dren gathered about it. 'As Mary reached for it there was a terriffic ex- plosion. Mary and Phillip were killed instantly. Rose died on the way to a hospital. Falzone recently received a series of threatening letters demanding $6,000 and ordering him to leave the country. He reported them to police, but efforts to trap the senders falled. The last letter he received said the senders knew he had informed police and that he was to be killed. Mrs. Falzone told police she and her husband had disagreements over an- other woman. PAPAL ARMED CORPS MARCHES IN ROME Seen for First Time in History of United Italy Outside Vatican® By City.
