Only 24 arrests were made for speeding, how- ever, from 8 a.m. yesterday to 9 am. today, as motorists seemed to exercise greater care. Lights to Be On All Night. Traffic Director William A. Van Duzer ordered the operation of traf- fic lights throughout the city tonight, Christmas night, New Year eve and New Year night, as a further precau- tionary measure.

The boy was treated at Children’s Hospital. ‘Woman, 60, Injured. Miss Blanche L. Teel, 60, 2200 Nineteenth street, was injured when struck at Connecticut avenue and Calvert street by an automobile op- erated by Mrs. William F. Ham, 2600 block of Woodley place, wife of the chairman of the board of the Poto- mac Electric Power Co. She was treated at Emergency Hospital for an ankle fracture and X-rays were to be taken to determine whether she received additional fractures to the nose and legs. Mrs. Ham was not held. Donald W. Wooster, 19, of the 3700 block of Sixteenth street, was arrested by police of No. 6 precinct on a charge of reckless driving and released on collateral after the automobile he was driving had collided with another machine on Upper Sixteenth street, injurying a couple riding with him.

His condition is not believed to be serious, Le Roy Mark, head of Radio Sta- tion WOL, has offered to broadcast ‘Traffic Court proceedings, and judges at Police Court were expected to con- sider the proposal today. The pub- licity given, it was felt in some quar- ters, might cause motorists to drive more carefully. 18 in Traffic Court. Eighteen persons were brought be- fore Judge John P.

A long-standing dispute over fitle to the famous Rapidan, Va. camp, where former President Hoover alter- nately rested and carried on affairs of state, was settled out of court today. The dispute arose between William E. Carson, trustee, acting for the for- mer President, and the Eagle Hard- wood Lumber Co. The lumber com- pany contended that through an erroneous survey Mr. Hoover had constructed his camp on their prop- erty. They produced an old patent title to the land, which was met with the assertion the former President had put up the improvements in good faith. When the State of Virginia took over the land for Shenandoah Na- tional Park purposes, Mr. Hoover donated to the State his share of a $24,340 condemnation award, which was paid into the court. Both the lumber company and Car- son then laid claim to the money. The company withdrew its suit, which had been filed through Attor- neys Edmund D. Campbell of Wash- ington and E. R. Shackelford of Orange, Va. The settlement state- ment, filed with the Circuit Court of Madison County, revealed the lumber company had received $3,400 of the money. The balance will be turned over to the State by Carson, acting on behalf of Hoover. THIEVES ACTIVE OVER WEEK END . Burglars, Pocketbook Snatchers and Hijackers * Get Minor Loot. Burglars, pocketbook snatchers and armed hold-up men were active over the week end. A colored man entered the office at the coal yard of James E. Colliflower, 706 Fifth street southeast, early today and held up Charles E. Colliflower, sr., at the point of a pistol, while a com- panion waited outside. After obtaining between $25 and $30, the robber jerked the telephone from the wall. After the pair had disappeared south on Fifth street Colliflower went to No. 5 police precinct and reported the robbery. While walking west at Fourth and ‘W streets last night, Cora Green, col- ored, 2132 Flagler place, was held up by a young colored man and robbed of her pocketbook containing 95 cents and toilet articles. Victim Battles Bandits, John R. Thompson, 1909 Fourteenth street, was held up by two colored men armed with a pistol, at Eleventh and P streets yesterday. He refused to surrender his cash, whereupon he was struck with the gun. Thompson man- aged to prevent the highwaymen from getting his cash. Tommie Robinson, 1218 Eighth street, told poiice he was held up by two armed colcred men in the 1000 block of First street southwest last night. Hilliard Duniop, 1645 New Jersey avenue, reported he was held up by four colored men near First and M streets southwest early yesterday. The men followed him from a lunch room, he stated, beat him and robbed him of $20 and a pass to the Government Printing Office. Burglars entered the homes of Ber- nard Owen, 5366 Twenty-seventh street; Harland Page, 5366 Twenty- eighth street, aad G. W. Cooper, 5341 ‘Twenty-eighth street, last night. They stole $21 from the Owen home, but took nothing in the other houses. Burglar Steals Dress. A burglar visited the home of George Esch, 2908 Brandywine street, last night and stole a dress valued at $25. Frightened from the house, he escaped by leaping from an upper window. ‘Two victims of colored pocketbook snatchers last night were Lurene Hill, 4430 Kane place northeast, and Celia Dellinger, 1524 A street northeast. The former was robbed of $2 while in the 500 block of Fifteenth street, and the latter was on the street near her home when she was robbed of $3, cards and & driver’s permit. A cash register, meat and cigar- ettes, valued at $100, were stolen by a burglar who was in a Piggly-Wiggly store at 1821 K street after closing time Saturday night. Myron Palm, registered at Pow- hatan Hotel, told police his automo- bile, parked at Eighteenth and H streets yesterday, was robbed of two $2,000 bonds of the Fidelity Associa- tion of New York and clothing, Real Holiday.

C, MONDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1934. BY DON BLOCH. Y FEBRUARY of the new year, historic “Henderson Castle,” on Sixteenth Street Hill, will be only an empty shell of echoing walls and corridors. ‘Tables at which Presidents and po- tentates sat, costly dishes from which they ate, colorful maidens and other framed moods of the old and modern masters at which guests gazed—all will disappear, piece by piece, as the auctioneer’s hammer falls and falls again beginning one day in the middle of next month. Just what will become of the castle itself, however, no one yet quite knows, but it is for sale. Built almost half a century ago, when Senator John B. Henderson and his wife came here from St. Louis, the great red, stone mansion on the hill has become a landmark. Somehow it does not seem quite right that it be torn down. ‘The towers of the mansion evi- dently exerted an influence on John Henderson, jr. He chose the high north one for his special nook and transformed it into a laboratory and museum to carry on his work as con- chologist and store his thousands of marine specimens. Specimens Found in Bays. Up a narrow spiral staircase one winds into this tower room, equipped with fireplace and telephone, walls hung with dusty pictures of Hender- son ocean craft and other vessels of which John had been a member of the scientific crew. Cabinets line walls and occupy the center space of the room. Once these scores of drawers contained shells from all the seas. Now they gape empty, although a great number of the specimens he gathered bulge bulkily in burlap bags on a long table against the north wall. Text books on marine life lie crazily in high bookshelves which flank top and both sides of the fire- place. On e table lies the log book of a vessel upon which he made a trip into South American waters, in 1914, less than a decade before he Immediately below this tower is the room where John Henderson, jr., slept. Now it is bare of interest. The burlaplike textile which covered the walls is stripped away in many spots. The dusts of three years since the house was occupied cover every- thing. A miniature triceratops in plaster grins from its antedeluvian | bones on the inevitable fireplace mantel. John’s was just a woeden bed, small, unpretentious, its head overlooking Sixteenth street and Meridian Park. Golf Sticks and Mandolin. To the south is an alcove room. On a low seat around the wall is a bag of golf sticks, an old mandolin, a stack of colored lithographs. Behind this room is the larger, sunnier quarters once occupied by Beatrice, granddaughter of the heads of the house of Henderson. It is exact in contour with John's room, but is finished in blue, furnished simply. On a bureau is a scrap book filled with childish gauds—bright-colored pictures and cut-out comic strips of Beatrice’s childhood. Hairbreadth Harry seems to have been a favorite.

This was the trunk room for guests. The burlap on its walls is almost entirely peeled away and drapes limply over trunks and hampers, boxes filled with papers of the Hen- derson family. Immediately behind’ this room is the last one on the third floor, the bath. It is tucked far back in the south corner of the house and is the only one on this floor. Mrs. Hender- son saw to it that her bath rooms were located in spots as far as pos- sible from sleeping and living rooms. As one would expect, the plumbing is of the vintage of 1889, when the house was built. On the second floor, directly be- neath the room of her son, was Mrs. Henderson’s library. Herself an au- thor and artist of more than local note, she read and studied much. The room itself is large, occupying with the balcony on the immediate northwest which connects with it, the whole half of that side of the house. It has a pillar-supported ceiling, the latter covered with an interlacing pat- tern of oak panels intricately de- signed. Book shelves, ceiling high, cover three walls of the room, filled with volumes of every variety—fiction, art, travel, history and biography. Connected directly to the north was the bed room of Mrs. Henderson. Her habit of reading late at night in her library thus was permitted without disturbing her family or guests. Immediately in front of one enter- ing the room, on the wall opposite, is a great, full-length mirror, framed in gilded figures. To the right its head against the Sixteenth street side New Star in West Recalls 934 Years Ago Discovery of 1, The appearance of a ‘“new star” of the first magnitude in the north- western sky just at Christmas is stirring the imagination of astrono- mers all over the Christian world. Discovered two weeks ago in the constellation of Hercules, now close to the northwestern horizon in the early evening, by Dr. Harlow Shap- ley, director of the Harvard Univer- sity Observatory, the ‘“nova’, since has been observed throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Just 1934 years ago, estronomers now believe, there must have been just such a new star blazing forth on almost the opposite side of the heavens—the Star of Bethlehem. In no other way can they account for the star in the East seen by the shepherds as they watched their flocks. - Never since have they been able to identify it.

Detective Watson Salkeld, jr., fifth precinct, who was promoted several months ago after killing an armed bandit surprised in a filling station hold-up, was painfully injured this morning when he fell down the base- ment steps at his home, 3812 Twelfth street. Salkeld was on his way to stoke the furnace. ‘The officer was treated at Emer- gency Hospital for injuries to his head and shoulder and discharged. Esperanto Director Resigns.

Such a star is a comparatively insignificant celestial body, in most cases below naked-eye visibility, which suddenly flares up into a star of greater than first magnitude, contin- ues for & few weeks as one of the brightest objects in the heavens and then drops back to insignificance again. The cause is conjectural. Some astronomers believe that the phenomenon is due to a stellar col- lision. The sun itself may at one time have been a “nova”—at the time when it was grazed by some passing star, with a resulting disturbance that established its planetary system. Others believe that such a star ex- ploded from unknown internal forces. The appearance of & nova is a very rare event and the present outburst promises to become a significant mile stone in astronomical history.

On the fireplace mantel a pale blue ormulu clock, long ago stopped, stares at a row of buttons on the wall which, once pressed, might bring ssrvants from all quarters of the house. Exercise Room Unique. Down the hall to the south, a store- | room, present repository for letters and documents of the family, and lov- ing cup trophies won by young John while he was at Yale Urflversity. Di- rectly across is an exercise room. Here once was the huge electric bulb- studded “reducing” box, now tumbled over on its side in the debris of the cellar. Now two antique predecessors of the modern vibrator chair and wooden horse squat solidly nailed to the floor of the room. Run by an uncertain system of belts and cog- wheels, they will still groan and whine pathetically when the power is ap- plied at a switch button. Still further down the hallway .are the only two bath rooms to this floor, small and poorly lighted. A tiny hallway passage, broken by a linen closet still stacked with sheets lnd eomtah. leads to the servants’ quar. Pcmt large rooms, lined off‘to right and left, housed the main body of house servants. Today they are filled with trunks and boxes and hung with clothes belonging to the mistress of the house. Each room is furnished neatly, with something perhaps a little less than costly. Senator’s Room at East End. Back across the big central hall- way, to the east end of the house, is the room occupied once by the Senator from Missouri. It is fitted with gargantuan bed and bureau, of mahogany. Without frills or extras, it seems eminently to suit the robust, bearded man whose portrait in oil hangs on the wall above the bed of Mrs. Henderson, across the hall Here, too, the fireplace is flanked by book cases which exhibit titles show- ing the wide reading of the senior Henderson. To the far left of the plain entry- way, after one has passed down the great, curving staircase to the first floor, is the gold room, paneled and ceilinged in plush, velvets and bro- cade. Most noteworthy in this semi- formal living room are the exquisitely framed art works of Mrs. Henderson which hang on all four walls. A beautiful semi-nude of a young girl directly over the fireplace has been internattonally acclaimed. Through an elaborate archway to the east, of molded composition wood orfental in design, one passes into the smoking room. Here the i gentlemen retired after the dinner jfor coffee and cigars, chatting of | political matters or discussing the pictures hung in the drawing room. Room Is Large One. With the exception of the formal state dining room just beyond, this room is the largest in the house. It is really a private art gallery, hung | with canvases dating from the time of the old masters to the present. Special lighting arrangements permit each picture to be flooded individually for examination. Chef d'ceuvre of this room is the famous Italian hand- carved mantel which, easily a dozen feet broad at the base, and supported by life-sized figures, extends & full 20 feet to the high ceiling. Red plush walls now glare dully under the indirect ceiling lights in the formal dining room. Here, too, works of art adorn all four walls. A magnificant walnut sideboard cov- ering half the wall along the north side of the room is now laden with | rare and costly chinaware to be sold, | as is the vast central dining table| under the dome of the ceiling. The kitchen and butler's pantry are small. High shelves, once loaded with cooking accessories, now gather dust through two rear windows facing Sixteenth street. Down a stairway to the basement | through the kitchen one comes uponl almost Stygian darkness. Through, room after room, stacked with crates | and barrels, accumulated lumber and broken furniture, one passes. Two rooms only have anything of note in them—one contains a dozen huge boxes, some still nailed shut but labeled, many broken open but with their contents thtact. They are filled with copies of the “Aristocracy of Health,” a volume published by Mrs. Henderson here in Wi m, in great numbers. Another room, dark as a pit, revealed solemn row upon row of canned fruits and vegetables in the sputtering light of a candle stump. Citywide Christmas Party For Needy Considered for 1935 Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen is considering staging a city-wide Christ- mas party for poor children next year under the auspices of the Board of Commissioners. Although details have not been worked out, he suggested that each police and fire station could be util- ized as a headquarters at which to receive toys and other gifts for the children whose own families are un- able to provide Christmas presents. “I think it is only proper that the heads of the city's government should do something in the way of spreading Christmas cheer and thereby set a STORE WINDOW CRASHED —— .

At the present time, many of the police precincts and fire stations have parties for the poor children of the neighborhood. It is Commissioner Hazen's idea that these charitable efforts might be consolidated and made more effective through a eity- wide celebration. FOOD IS DISTRIBUTED Mission Provides Roast Beef Dinners.

WORKERS HIT BY DICKINSON lowa Senator Sees No Use in Continuing “Small Savings.” SOME PROVISIONS GO OUT OF EFFECT IN JUNE Other Restrictions Must Be Re- moved by Action of Congress Pay Cut Debated. All restrictions placed on workers in the Government service by the pro- gram of economy legislation should be removed at the approaching session of Congress, in the opinion of Senator Dickinson, Republican, of Iowa. Briefly, Senator Dickinson takes the view that there is no use in continuing these comparatively small economies while the Government is making large expenditures in other directions. Some of these miscellaneous econo- my provisions will go out of existence on June 30, 1935, unless Congress takes affirmative action to continue them beyond that date. Some Are Permanent. Certain other features of the origi- nal econmy program, however, such as the reduction in annual leave, are permanent law and will continue until Congress takes action to repeal them. The annual leave was reduced from 30 to 15 days and Senator Dickinson said he favors restoration of the former leave allowance. Another provision which has the status of permanent law is the so- called married persons clause, which provides that in any reduction in force in any Government office, married persons must be let out first, if their husbands or wives also are employed by the Government. Among the restrictions that will end next June, unless continued by this session, are the ban on filling vacancies, limitations on travel al- lowances, authorizing temporary as- signments in the postal service, re- stricting transfer of non-civilian per- sonnel, reduction in jurors’ and wit- nesses’ fees. Promotions Rulings. The ban on administrative promo- tions was not eliminated by the last Congress, but was modified to allow such promotions in any department where funds for the purpose are avail- able as the result of savings in the current appropriation for personal In Lhe early weeks of the coming session of Congress, however, inter- est will center chiefly in the proposal to wipe out, as of January 1, the remaining 5 per cent pay cut in Gov- ernment salaries. There is & grow- ing sentiment among returning mem- bers of the House and Senate for immediate restoration, and this ques- tion is expected to be brought forward for discussion soon after the session gets under way. BABCOCK ENDS RIFT WITH N. R. A. LODGE Threat to Revoke Charter Is Dis- sipated When Leader With- draws Charge. Charges which threatened to revoke the charter of National Recovery Ad- ministration Lodge, 91, American Fed- eration of Government Employes. have been withdrawn by E. Claude Babcock, president of the federation, according to an announcement from headquarters. ‘The statement said that “this happy solution was reached as the result of conciliatory methods and concessions on both sides.” The trouble followed the action of the lodge in circularizing among as- sociate units criticism of the federa- tion administration, which sponsored an anti-picketing resolution at the New York convention. Supporters of John L. Donovan, N. R. A. Lodge president, had resorted to picketing to force his reinstatement at the N. R. A. several months ago. Babcock had charged the lodge with “disloyalty” to the labor movement The issue was to have gone before the executive council Thursday. GOVERNMENT PREPARES LOOSELEAF DIRECTORY National Emergency Council to Issue “What You Can Get and How You Can.” A loose leaf directory of what you can get and how you can get it is the latest innovation of a Government which currently is specializing in giv~ ing things away. The directory, to be issued soon after the first of the year, is being prepared by the National Emergency Council. Five thousand copies are to be distrib- uted to governmental offices, city and county officials and to the 1,300 local chapters of the American Red Cross. Semi-monthly revisions will keep the publication up to date in case new Santa Claus agencies are devised from time to time. It will be titled “The Unitgd States Government Manual.” ‘The function and location of each of the many governmental agencies will be listed and directions given for con- tacting whichever of them may be in & position to aid in any situation.
