Go vernment Desires By War Veterans For Beautifu The Grand Army of the Republic will soon be on the march again, but this time it is due to the desire of its Government to beautify its National Capital. Uncle Sam has served notice on the Department of the Potomac that he needs the ground, occupled for more than half a _century by the veterans of the Civil r as their official meeting | place in Washington, at 1412 Pennsyl- | vania avenue, as part of a new plaza. Accordingly, the Grand Army of the Republic must vacate by July 1. May Get Ford Theater. E. D. Godfrey of 1411 Monroe street, the quartermaster of the Department of the Potomac, G. A. R., who has charge of the property of the venerable organization, has had placed in the newspapers an advertisement setting forth the wants of the body of veterans A hall or Jarge room “suitable for lodge purposes” is now needed by the Grand Army vet- erans, but they hope that it will be but for one or two years, as there is pend- ing in_Congress a proposal to remodel the old Ford Theater Building, on Tenth street near E. giving the Civil The building at 1412 Pennsylvania avenue, which the Grand Army has oc- cupied all these years and which has witnessed some of its brilliant functions in its heyday, including two national encampments in the city, has an inter- esting history. Built about 1877 by Cornwell & Son, the structure has been occupled by the veterans ever since. THE Headquarters Uéed for Half Century 1 New Plaza. In the full strength of power the vet- erans occupied three halls on the three | upper floors, the ground floor being | given over to a grocery establishment. | For 52 years now that bullding has been occupied by the veterans, but two | years ago it was necessary for the or- ganization to go into one small hall, due to dwindling numbers. At one time | the veterans numbered 4,500 in the | District of Columbia and its immediate vicinity, but now their strength is placed at 130. The hall has been used not only by the men who fought on- the fields of Bull Run and Gettysburg, but by a number of allied organizations. Five units of the Woman'’s Relief Corps, four circles of the Ladies of the G. A. R and camps of sons and daughters of veterans have been numbered among the groups that have met beneath its roof. Maximum of Posts Was 20. The maximum number of posts of the Grand Army of the Republic here, attached to the Department of the Po- tomac, was 20, but now there are but 5: Kit Carson, No. 2; Lincoln, No. 3; | Sheridan, No. 6; Burnside, No. 8, and Sumner, No. 9. In February of each year the encampments of the organiza- tion are held in the building. Soon it will be a closed book. The grizzled veterans will vacate by July 1 and the Government will raze the ven- erable structure from Pennsylvania ave- nue, but never from the minds of the old men who have made it their ren- dezvous through the years and spun again those tales that had their birth at Antietam and at Appomattox. SENATE APPROVES FOUR D. €, BILLS Holiday July 5 to Be Granted | U. S. Employes if House Is Favorable. The Senate this afternoon passed four measures of interest to Washing- ton, the most important of which was the bill curtailing the powers of the District Supreme_Court in reviewing decisions of the Public Utilities Com- mission. The other three measures ap- proved were: ‘The Bleass resolution making Sat- urday July 5 a legal holiday in the District and providing that all employes of the Federal and District Govern- ments be paid for that day.

Police Court hearing of gambling charges against four persons arrested by Detective James E. Kenny, attached to the district attorney’s office, after a raid on a house on G street near Twelfth yesterday, was postponed a week today by Judge John P. McMahon upon a request from defense counsel. Detective Kenny posed as a book- maker and is salleged to have placed several bets with persons in the prem- ises before obtaining a search warrant and raiding the house. Police said the place was equipped with an electrically operated door which Kenny opened to allow the raiding party to enter. About 25 persons were arrested and escorted to the second precinct in the police patrol, but only four were charged with “setting up a gaming table.” A large number of the others will be subpoenaed as witnesses, it was announced at court today. The men held gave the names of Henry L. Tucker, 41 years old; Harry E. Conn, 30; Benny Lewis, 33, and Kirx Collenberger, 23 years old, and were released under $1,000 bond each. Detective Kenny secured evidence de- sired to make the raid only after more than a month of investigation. FOR SUIT FOR DIVORCE A systematic course of cruelty throughout the 28 years of her mar- ried life, culminating in a_brutal beat- ing May 20 last, is made the basis of a petition for a lLimited divorce filed today by Mrs. Eva D. Court, 1940 Biltmore street, against Edward J. Court, an en- graver at the Geological Survey. Through Attorney Maurice M. Grudd, the wife tells the court that her hus- band threatened to kill her May 20 and gave her such a beating that she was compelled to seek the services of a physician. Her husband was prevented from carrying out his threat, she says, by their grown son. Since the alleged assault, she declares, she has been re- fused admittance to their home and now resides with friends, while asking aid of the court. They were married 2pril 22, 1902, and have two children. Speaks on Telephone Service. M. G. Long, assistant to the general traffic supervisor of the P. B. X. ai- vision of the Chesapeake & Potomac “Telephone Co., gave an address on tel- ephone service at a meeting of the ad- justment division of S. Kann & Sons Co. last night at the Harrington Hotel. Mrs. M. Fisher, also of the telephone company, gave a demonstration on voice technique. Willlam F. Priel, act- ing superintendent, presided at the meeting. Driving While Drunk Charged. A charge of driving while drunk was ‘placed against George H.

By the Associated Pr DEARBORN, Mich, June 5.—The Ford Motor Co., which pays 70 per cent of the taxes in the Fordson School District, today published a report of auditors employed by the company charging the district school board with “padding” its 1929-1930 budget to the extent of $200,000. Henry Ford formerly was a member of the board, but was removed by other members about a year ago because he failed to attend sessions, sending in- stead a representative who acted in an “advisory” capacity but had no vote. The Ford auditors criticized, among other things, the alleged purchase for the high school of waste baskets for $26 each, walnut coat racks at $22 and bookcases at $158 a shelf. They also reported that the board paid for 143 loads of coal but used only 52. 1214 F ST. the court to consider the evidence as a | whole. | The most important feature of the bill, from a public standpoint, is the | exclusion of commission orders fixing | valuations from the class of orders sub- | ject to appeal to the local courts, the committee explained. i ‘The bill provides for review by the District courts of other orders of the commission and gives the hearing of such cases precedence over other civil | cases. LIONS CLUB TOLD HOW HOTELS IMPORT COOKS ‘The housewife with her servant prob- | lem could nevertheless spend a bit of | pity on the poor hotel man, who fre-| quently must send to Europe for a new | one when cook walks out. | R. L. Pollio explained to the Lions | Club yesterday that never in his ex-| perience as resident manager of the Mayflower Hotel has he heard of an American cook in a first-rate hostelry. The absence of Americans from the| culinary department, despite the high | compensation received there, is due, in| part, to long hours sometimes necessary | and the apprenticeship. “In foreign countries,” Mr. Pollio con- tinued, “parents apprentice young men in the hotel industry and other fields at an expense to themselves.” Young Americans ask first of the wage and next of the hours. Few come back when they hear they must have experience before they can hope for a good salary, Mr. Pollio said. ‘The same conditions obtain in other departments of the modern hotel, ac- cording to the speaker.

NEW YORK, June 5.—Investigation of the activities of Dr. William F. yle, former veterinarian, before the city board of standards and appeals on be- halt of applicants for garage and filling station permits, has disclosed deposits in one bank since 1924 of $1,268,000, United States Attorney Tuttle said to- day. Although Mr. Tuttle said there has been much evidence adduced before the Federal grand jury that Dr. Boyle re- ceived the larger part of his fees in cash, he said a check of the bank account failed to disclose any large cash de- posits. He intimated the belief that the cash payments were shared by public officials. “I have checked this bank account,” he said, “for any evidence of deposits of the large amounts of cash which were received by Dr. Doyle during the period covered by the total.
