A NG ARS HOPES * TOCONTROLPARTY . Says Seizure of 1936 Con- vention Is Aim—Denies Own Ambition. By the Assoclated Press. PHILADELPHIA, March 15.—Hopes 4. of “capturing” the Democratic con- . .vention in the Summer of 1936 were i+ revealed by United States Senator - Huey P. Long, as the Louisianan car- '™ ried his “share-the-wealth” gospel into Pennsylvania. But as for the presidency, he told a + press conference, he doesn’t “want” . to be President “unless I have to.” Before a large audience, some of /. whom cheered and some of whom «# booed, Long unleashed new attacks .~ on President Roosevelt and adminis- +* tration leaders. - People “Dearer Than Party.” Criticizing the xpethods employed #- by the administration in fighting the \. depression, he declared the “bone and *- blood of the American people have " become dearer than the preservation * of a political party.” t “The time has come for me to go counter to the party in power,” he . asserted in his speech. He quoted writings and speeches of leaders long dead — President = Madison, Danlel Webster, Abraham Lincoln, Willlam Jennings Bryan and Theodore Roose- velt—to corporate what he declared was a threat to the Republic in the concentration of wealth “in the hands of the few.” Contrasts “Depressions.” “We had three years of the Hoaver depression,” he continued, “and now we are in our third year of the Roose- velt depression. The only difference is that Hoover let it go at that, while . Roosevelt is saying lovely words and letting us go on with our sorrow.” In the press conference he told re-| porters: “We may be able to capture the Democratic convention in the Sum- mer of 1936. If we don't, we'll have a third party, with candidates for| United States Senator and Congress- | men in every State.” GEORGIA HOUSE PASSES | ANTI-SEDITION MEASURE G_STAR, WASHINGTO Washington Wayside Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things. TAXI “DOG-FIGHT.” OME rule of the cabstand must have been involved, for there was plenty of room for both of them at the curb near Union Station and both taxicabs bore the same colors. A, in front, wanted to hold his place. B, behind, believed A had held it long enough. So B gave A a gentle shove—as gentle, that is, as 35 horsepower of snorting steel can shove. This irked A. He went into a quick reverse and jolted B into a proper sense of how the matter stood as far as he was concerned. B replied with a screech of skid- ding tires and the battle was on. Full into A he roared, and a bumper-bolt ricocheted crazily up the asphalt. A jammed his newly-tested brakes to the floor and took the recoll bent grimly over his wheel. B walted, braced straight, for the return en- gagement. It came, with a crash. Loss: One headlight bracket and a second bumper-bolt, which spun like & top on the pavement. ~Back and forward. Smash, bang, and—fun for the bystanders. Neither driver apparently angry: Just a point of jehu precedent in this fracas. A complete demolishment of A's rear, B's front bumper, B's right head- light, his radiator caved in, A with a dent big enough to plant cabbages in, in the rear of his cab. RN A bystander becomes bored. He signals A. A fare's a fare. War is secondary. With bits of glass tinkling along the street as he pulls away, A picks up the fare and whisks off.

In Washing- ton she might have added on the streets, sidewalks, buildings, even on the shoulders of human friends. Daily the birds congregate about the benches in the city’s many parks. Laughing children throw them bits of peanuts. The feathered creatures be- come their playmates and peck the tidbits from the ground. Philosophc patriarchs proffer bits | of bread. The pigeons flutter to their knees and shoulders, sometimes even plucking morsels from the lips of an ©ld man. Then the birds do not seem to be playmates. They seem older— fellow philosophers in things spiritual, perhaps. Almost under the feet and wheels of Washington the pigeons pursue their way—mitigating touches in a city of steel and stone—feathered boulevardiers. “Pigeons on the grass, alas?” why alas? But L] ONE MAN'S CASTLE. AUL J. PELZ, who designed the Library of Congress, carried out in his home on P street many features he planned for the Library. The archway and dome of the main reading room, the tiled entry, the classic staircases and balustrades— even the bronze frieze over the Library home. Built in 1890, the house itself ex- hibits an architecture and construc- tion seldom seen today. Elaborately carved mantelpieces, mm& fer:cu‘; abroad, top great fireplaces room on the three floors. Solidity is the keynote. Even in the attic, rm through & tiny passageway angl from a third floor ell, this keynote holds. Here the thick supporting beams, cleverly buttressing each other, clearly show the house The attic is filled to overflowing with experimental casts and friezes done by Pelz several years .ago, and with framed drawings of dozens of the buildings he designed in his long ‘Washington career. Oddest feature to be seen is a great bronze triangle, just under the ridge- pole eave, on the front of the house outside. It presents only the letters “P N C” and the date, 1890, in ast in deep bas-re- remains & mystery.

Renick of Auburn and his wife were convicted in Federal Court yes- terday of using the mails to defraud by obtaining money from persons in many citles on the allegation they could claim shares in the “mythical $200,000,000 estate of Col. Jacob Baker, in the heart of Philadelphia.” ‘The Government contended the es- tate was mythical and brought in evidence tending to show that valua- ble papers reputedly hidden in various cities, from British Columbia to Montreal, were waste paper, blank agreement forms and magazines.
