National Leaders Sheltered in Houses Being Demolished by G. W. University (Continued From Third Page.) College, which is under the same management.” No. 2017 G street, which is Building M of the university, goes down to fame n the letters of Henry Adams. Here, on the third floor, this famous mem- ber of a famous family had bachelor quarters gluring the Winter of 1869-70, and from them he went back and forth in the Washington of his time. His wagon hitched to the star of reform, he wrote from 2017 G street for various magazines and newspapers divers attacks and defenses upon the political issues of the day, while ‘Washington's practical politicians laughed and went their way. He knew many Congressmen and newspaper men. His associates and friends, through his old New England family and the powerful friendship and in- terest of Senator Hoar of Massachu- setts, numbered such giants as Fish, Jacob D. Cox, Evarts, Sumner, Secre- tary of the Treasury Boutwell, Chief Justice Chase and a score more. ‘The letters addressed to his English friend, Charles Milne Gaskell, during the time when he lived at 2017 G street, may be read verbatim in “Let- ters of Henry Adams,” edited by ‘Worthington Chauncey Ford, pages 169-187. Extracts from two are given. ‘““Washington, 7 December 1869. “Sunday night I had Jacob Dol- son Cox, Secretary of the Interior, to dine with me here and a very small party at which very important con- versation took place. We eagles do soar, we donkeys do bray . . . Gen. Bade, who was Motley’s secretary of legation last season has returned and taken up quarters on the floor below me. We dine here every evening in state and full dress, including white cravats. Between us we know every- body and those we don't know know (The former drawing room and dining room of 2017 G street, now used as class rooms, are substantially unchanged and one can readily visu- alize how they must have appeared at the time of which Mr. Adams writes.) No. 158 G street was the old num- bering of the house and its change to 8 new number, 2017, is commented upon in this letter: 2017 G street, Washington, 13 January 1870. “Which is not a new address, but only a new number and means that I live on G street in the seventeenth house beyond Twentieth street. There’s arithmetic for you. What a thing it is to live in a new country . . .” Washington Springtime. At a time when Adams was caus- tically referring to “President Grant's simplicity in foreign affairs being more disconcerting than the com- plexity of Talleyrand” and bitterly assailing many other public figures in the Nation's Capital he was learn- ing the fascination of Washington's Springtime. The wild beauty of Rock Creek and of the Potomac River made their impression. Character- istically, he writes of “the purified charm which was lent to the Capi- tol as one caught sight of its dome over miles of forest foliage.” It is little wonder that years later he| should make Washington his resi- dence and that when his grief over the loss of his wife could not be as- suaged should have had St. Gaudens fashion and erect in Rock Creek Cemetery that bronze monument, “Grief,” to which a visiting world has worn a reverent footpath. No. 2024 G street, where the home economics laboratories and class rooms are located, once served as Gen. Grant’s headquarters, prior to its occupancy as a home by Gen. Orville E. Babcock, secretary to Gen. Grant. The mantels in the drawing rooms and dining room of this house are very beautiful and are said to have been installed here by a former tenant when the White House was remodeled during President Theodore Roosevelt’s administration. The back garden blooms again in all its old- time loveliness and a wisteria vine of great age which entirely covers the rear of the house, blossoms each Spring. No. 2022 G street, which is next door | to Babcock House, and designated as Building D, is the headquarters of the university’'s School of Education. was once the home of Dr. John Fred- erick May, who was graduated from the George Washington University (then Columbian) with the degree of A. B. in 1831 end M. D. in 1834. Dr. John Frederick May was the | son of Dr. Frederick May, who from the time he came to Washington in 1795 so well contributed to the lay- ing of enduring foundations for the eivic and professional life of the city. In 1819 the elder Dr. May founded the Medical Society of the District of Columbia, and in 1926 was ap- pointed to the medical faculty of the George Washington University. He was the builder and one of the own- ers of the Columbian Building at the corner of Tenth and E streets, then the headquarters for the university’s Medical School, where he and others lectured to the medical students. Famous Surgeon Here. ‘The younger Dr. May became Wash- ington’s most famous surgeon before the Civil War and, like his father, was noted for his civic benefactions. After studying abroad in the hospitals of London and Paris he became profes- sor of anatomy and surgery in his alma mater. It was Dr. John Fred- erick May who identified the body of John Wilkes Booth, assassin of Presi- dent Lincoln, by means of a scar on Booth's neck, left by an operation for the removal of a tumor which Dr. May had performed upon him some time previously. Booth’s vanity would not permit him to forego a famous scene with Charlotte Cushman, with the result that he returned to the stage too soon and seriously reopened the wound during the course of an embrace incident to their act, with the resulting tell-tale scar which was later to be a factor in Dr. May's identification of him after the murder of President Lincoln. Dr. May, according to those who remember him, was a fine, upstand- ing figure of a man, a veritable giant for height, as were his sons. The May daughters were tall and extremely graceful, and were famed for their wit and beauty not only in the Capital City but in Baltimore and New York, where they paid frequent visits. One married William C. Whitney., Carrie became engaged to James Gordon Bennett, jr., later sole owner of the New York Herald Tribune. The story of the breaking of Miss May's engage- ment to Mr. Bennett rocked the social circles of the Nation at the time of its happening. Probably because of the gossip and unfavorable comment this incident heaped upon Mr. Ben- nett, he preferred to make his home in Paris, from where he dictated the Herald Tribune’s editorial policy with & czar-like masterfulness, not per- mitting an editorial to appear in its pages that had not first received his cabled acquiescence. Once again this old home at 2022 G street was destined to have the limelight of publicity focused upon its distinguished occupants. During Grant's term of office as President of the United States it was the home of Gen. William Worth Belknap, Secre- tary of War and the stormy petrel of s flerce controversy which agitated the Grant administration. Here again, It | what were the real facts in the case will never actually be known. The charges centered about the appoint- ment of a certain John 8. Evans to & post tradership at Fort Sill, Okla., and the reputed payment by Evans of $25,000 for immunity from removal from office. 1In 1876 Gen. Belknap was impeached, but the Senate vote was lacking in the necessary two-thirds for conviction. As a matter of fact, Gen. Belknap's previous resignation from the Army had actually removed him from the Senati’s jurisdiction. Gen. Belknap had been a distinguished officer dur- ing the Civil War, attaining a briga- diership upon the recommendation of Gen. Sherman for his courage in command during the campaign through Georgia and across the Caro- linas, and for him the greatest sym- pathy was maintained by President Grant and his fellow cabinet mem- bers who felt that Gen. Belknap was the innocent victim of circumstances. About 714 Twenty-first street lingers an unauthenticated story concerning its planning by an admiral who was an authority on ship construction, and who was, apparently, more at home afloat than ashore. Before going to sea he drew up explicit specifications and directions for the building of the house, with orders that they were in no wise to be deviated from by so much as a “jot or tittle.” Where- upon the builder whom he had called in to execute his ideas was under the necessity of tactfully inquiring: “Is it your plan, sir, to use a ship's sliding pole for stairs?” The admiral had entirely omitted this very neces- sary provision from his calculations. In 1887 this home was the resi- dence of Admiral S. H. Ramsey, and was subsequently acquired by James B. Lambie, a prominent Washington business man, who lived there for 40 vears prior to the university's acqui- sition of the property. Its sunny up- stairs rooms are now given over to rest and study quarters for the women students of the university and to the offices of the director of women's per- sonnel guidance. The spacious down- stairs drawing rooms have been at- tractively furnished, in keeping with the background and traditions of the university, by three university organi- zations, Columbian Women, the Pan- Hellenic Association and the General Alumni Association, and are a center of social activities of the young | people of the university. ‘Where the laboratories of the George Washington University School of Engineering are now located, at the southeast corner of Twenty-first and H streets, there was once an old- fashioned house with high steps as- cending to its front door. Here lived | Thomas Fillebrown, a native of Hallo- | well, Me., with his blind wife. One of their three sons, Thomas Scott Fillebrown, became a commodore in the United States Navy and died while in command of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Mr. Fillebrown himself was in | the employ of the United States Gov- | ernment. Many years before his | death he set up his own monument | in Oak Hill Cemetery, with his name suitably carved upon it. Every Sun- day afternoon, attired in high stock, tall silk hat and a long-tailed coat, it was his custom to betake himself |in solitary state to the cemetery to survey the stone which was memorialize his final resting place. William Wilson Home. the largest fuel supply yards in the city, had a home on part of the site now occupied by Stockton Hall, the School building, on Twentieth street | between G and H streets. There are many other houses in the neighborhood, outside of the uni- versity'’s holdings, which are of in- terest because of the distinguished names associated with them. Doughty Admiral Scott lived at 2028 G street. His niece, Mrs. Richard Townsend, was & social leader of her time, and his grand-niece, Mathilde Townsend, | now Mrs. Sumner Wells, the charm- i{gts;‘l;g:ni t‘s” 1zue of Sargent’s love- raits, is one of Washington’: famous hostesses. ? Another home on G street which was a mecca for Washington's so- | cially elite was that of Admiral Charles H. Poor at 2030 G street. His three attractive daughters, who this residence. ~Annie became the bride of Charles Carrol Glover, des- | tined to become one of Washington's most distinguished bankers and a civic leader of vision and purposeful courage. Their son, Charles Carrol Board of Directors and vice presideat of the Riggs National Bank, a trustee of George Washington University, and an earnest and able supporter of civic projects. A daughter, who re- turns to her native Washington for frequent visits, is Madame van Swin- deren, wife of the Netherlands Min- ister to London. A neighbor of the Scotts and the Poors was Gen. John Story. Mrs. Story is remembered as having been as exquisite as a bit of Dresden china to the day of her death. Their daugh- ter, Caroline, was known as “beautiful Caroline Story,” and was one of the most popular and charming debu- tantes that has ever graced & Wash- ington season. Her marriage to Count Conrad de Buisseret of the Belgian Embassy was considered a real love match. During the World War, while her husband was on diplo- matic detail to Russia, she lost her life from diphtheria contracted while doing emergency nursing service in a Belgian hospital near the front lines. Mrs. Story, the aged mother, per- formed an heroic feat in crossing the ocean alone during the worst period of the submarine disasters to bring the young de Buisserets to be under her care in America until the conclu- sion of the war. The eldest of these grandchildren, Prancols, who was the successor to his father’s title, many will ll;emembn when he was subse- quently an attache at the Belgian Embassy here. His untimely dfl.th last year cut short what promised to be a brilliant career in the diplomatic service of the Belgian government. Gen. Miles’ Residence. On the northeast corner of Twen- tieth and G streets, wkere the Mc- Austin Hotel is located, stood the home of Admiral Richard Kindle- berger, of & family distinguished in Navy and social circles. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, the famous Indian fighter, afterward occupled this residence. His erect figure, military bearing and snowy white hair made him a marked figure even in this neighborhood of outstanding Army and Navy heroes. The house at 2000 G street, now occupied by a school of law, was owned and occupied by “Handsome Capt. Archibald Butt,” military aide to President Theodore Roosevelt. Capt. Butt's bravery and tragic death in the of the Titanic, and that of his devoted friend, Francis Millet, the architect, who made his home with Capt. Butt, is commemo- rated by a graceful fountain just south of the White House grounds. house was also at one time the home of Senator Oscar Underwood. Origi- nally the property was owned and oc- cupied by Albert A. Wilson, marshal of the District under President Cleve- land and for many years president of the Firemen's Insurance Co. Gen. Adolphus Greely, hero of the o | Willlam Wilson, who owned one of | George Washington University Law | were great belles, were married from | Glover, jr., is vice chairman of the | THE SUNDAY BTAR, WASHINGTON, D. { Arctic relief expedition, owned and lived in the house at 1914 G street. Gen. and Mrs. Greely and their chil- dren were all of more than usual height, and were referred to as “those tall Greelys.” Their home, as did so many of the old homes in this neigh- borhood, had the English type ground- floor dining room. Its rather low ceiling proving an inconvenience to the Greelys, the general had the plaster overhead torn out and beams finished in_ the manner of a shi) cabin. The result gave not only th desired “head room,” but an attractive decorative effect. One of the lines of Hamburg ran through the residence of James Mor- ris Woodward, at 923 Twentieth street, who has himself lived in this neigh- borhood many years and whose pa- ternal grandfather, Woodward, and maternal grandfather, Thomas Pur- cell, were greatly esteemed citizens in their native Washington. Old records and licenses in the possession of Mr. ‘Woodward show the Washington city seal of 1802 and depict the Capitol as it was then, without a dome or 'wings. Lieut. Maury Residence. At Nineteenth and G streets, on the northeast corner where the Maury Apartment is located, lived Lieut. Matthew Fontaine Maury, afterward Comdr. Maury of the Navy Depart- ment. Comdr. Maury was put in charge of its department of charts and later became chief of the Naval Observatory. Largely self-taught be- yond a high school background, since there was no Naval Academy in those days, he was the first naval officer to advocate a naval academy as a necessary training school for naval officers. The soubriquet which he bore, “Pathfinder of the Seas,” was an unusually appropriate one, for he knew more about the Gulf Stream and other ocean currents than any living man. His book, “Winds and Charts,” became the authority for the maritime world, adding immeasurably to the safety and profit of those who follow the sea. The George Washing- ton University, at its commencement in 1853, bestowed the honorary de- gree of doctor of laws upon Comdr. Maury in recognition of his contribu- tion to knowledge. This same year, at the instance of Comdr Maury, the United States called the celebrated Brussels Ccnference for the co-opera- tion of nations in matters pertaining to maritime affairs, at which time Comdr. Maury recommended the ex- tension of meteorological observation to the land, resulting in founding of a weather bureau, helpful to agricul- ture. Our present Weather Bureau and Signal Service are largely the outcome of his perception and ad- vocacy. Comdr. Maury's knowledge of the sea made possible the laying of the Atlantic cable. Not only did he prophesy the still-water plateau in the Atlantic between Newfoundland and England, but he conducted the soundings and suggested many help- ful details. At the celebration of the completion of that great undertaking, Cyrus W. Field said: “Maury furnished the brains, England gave the money, #nd I did the work.” Matthew Fon- taine Maury's textbook, of charm and interes southwest corner of Eighteenth and G streets once lived William Wirt. He was one of the shining lights of the American legal profession in the early days of the Republic, and as such was selected by President Jefferson to prosecute the case for the Govern- ment against Aaron Burr. He wrote a really great book in his authorita- lution. William Wirt, when serving as Attorney General of the United States, was one of the group of cab- inet officers who, with President James Monroe, attended the George Washington University’s first com- mencement, on December 15, 1824, Like an Embassy Row.

The magnificent central-hall resi- dence at 1925 F street, with its broad paneled doorway, looks out upon a changes since it was fashioned by the master builders of its time. Today, owned by Mrs. James F. Curtis, it is an exclusive club, During the presi- dency of Cleveland it was occupied by the Hon. Hilleary A. Herbert while he Washingtonians it will always be first lived Alexander Ray, well known “first ward” business man, who con- Cucted & prosperous milling business in Georgetown. A son, A. Ross Ray, occupied the house on the northwest corner of F and Twentieth streets. Two grandsons occupy prominent po- sitions today in the financial life of America. One, George L. Harrison, is governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The other, Ray L. Harrison, is a vice president of the Mellon National Bank of Pittsburgh. Their mother was Nannie Ray Har- rison. Col. James L. Edwards, father of the late John Edwards, prominent business man, owned what was once 1906 F street, where the Park Central Apartments now stand. Indian Commissioner. Always referred to by his contem- poraries as a “gentleman of the old school,” Col. Edwards served for many years as commissioner of Indian.af- tairs. Although an Episcopalian, he took much interest in the Western Presbyterian Church, and at his fu- neral the Rev. Dr. Coombs, affection- ately known to the neighborhood as “Old Coomie,” and the Rev. Dr. Charles Cuthbert Hall, rector of the Church of the Epiphany, of which Col. Edwards was a member, jointly officiated. Dr. Hall referred to Col. Edwards in his sermon as “a rather better Christian than he was a churchman.” ‘The dignified old Colonial home on the northwest corner of Eighteenth and F streets was originally owned by the Carrols of Carrolton. Later it be- came the home of John Marshall, first Chief Justice of the United States. Many years afterward this same prop- erty was bought and remodeled in keeping with its earlier traditions by another Chief Justice of the United States, Melville W. Fuller. Before many years have passed it is likely that many of these old homes will have disappeared, to be replaced by modern university buildings more nearly commensurate with the re- quirements of George Washington University, which is the largest insti- tution of higher learning in the South Atlantic section. and teaching are not dependent upon bricks and mortar or stained glass aud ivy, still we who are devoted to This | the university envisage arising on the banks of the Potomac an academic community, which, in physical aspect as well as in educational service, will fulfill the dream of him whose name it bears.

Who Are You? The Romance of Your Name. BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS. Watson THE coat of arms here shown is that of the Scottish branch of Watsons, who removed to Ireland, where Christopher Watson, the pro- genitor of many Americans of the name, was born in County Cavan. His grandson Josiah emigrated to Virginia and Pennsylvania. In 1771 he laid claim to 300 acres of land in Cumberland County, Pa., which had been evacuated by his sister Mar- garet in 1763. He subsequently lived in New Jersey. Josiah Watson, son of Josiah, es- tablished his home in Virginia at ‘Turkey Ridge and Bush Hill, near Alexandria. Being endowed with an adventurous spirit equal to that of his forefathers, Josiah pushed into Kentucky and Tennessee, where he purchased immense tracts of land. The extent of his holdings amounted at the time of his death to 133,643 acres Many of his descendants are now living in Kentucky and Tennes- see as well as in other sections of the country. Strangely enough, the name Watson is not derived from Watt (the son of Watt) as has been advanced, but orig- inated with the name Walter, which has itself given rise to the name Watt.

By the Associated Press. ANNAPOLIS, April 6.—The State Roads Commission today was em- powered to issue $3,000,000 in deben- tures for improving and constructing roads and bridges. ‘The $3,000,000 was $500,000 greater than the sum originally contemplated in the enabling bill that Gov. Nice signed yesterday. ‘The bill originally called for $2,500,~ 000, but the House Ways and Means Committee amended it to $3,000,000 on the last day of the legislative session. The measure was passed under suspended rules. Bearing interest not in excess of 6 per cent, the debentures will be amoratized by license fees and fran- chise taxes on trucks and commer- cial vehicles. ‘The commission was empowered by the 1933 Legislature to borrow up to $4,000,000 on its debentures. BLIND, HE SHOOTS WIFE Colored Man Held for Grand Jury After Hearing. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star.
