A—4 2s THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, JULY 16, 1935. SHOUSE UPHOLDS SUPREME COURT Challenges Roosevelt Showdowr on Issue of Limiting Powers. By the Associated Press. Expressing assurance that “the American people will not subject themselves to the irresponsible rule of temporary legislative majorities or to the whims of bureaucrats in the executive departments, Jouett Shouse, president of the American Liberty League, last night challenged Presi- dent Roosevelt to a show-down on the issue of limiting the power of the Su~- preme Court. In a radio speech he listed nine major pieces of administration legis- lation considered or passed by the present Congress and asserted that eight of them were of seriously ques- tionable constitutionality. These he said, were: The Wagner labor disputes act, the social security bill, the utility holding company bill, the omnibus banking bill, the A. A. A. amendments, the T. V. A. amend- ments, the Bankhead farm tenant bill and the Guffey coal bill. “The President himself in eriticiz- ing the decision of the Supreme Court which outlawed the N. R. A, said that by the terms of that decision toth the A. A. A. and T. V. A. were condemned,” said Shouse, “and yet the President has used and is using &ll the power of his office to compel Congress to pass amendments to these ects which will broaden administra- tive authority and extend the bureau- cratic control exercised under them.” “If the issue shall arise in this country as to whether the power of the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution is to be curtailed, under either this or some other administra- tion, I have no apprehension as to the result,” Shouse said. Outlining a long list of possible re- sults, such as the abolishment of free £peech and free press and establish- ment of a State religion, Shouse said that if any administration “wishes to g0 before the American people with a proposition making possible such re- sults, I, for one, welcome that issue.” - AID FOR MRS. CUTTING Amendment Asks $10,000 for Mother of Late Senator. Mrs. Olivia Cutting, mother of the late Senator Cutting, Republican of New Mexico, would receive $10,000 from the Government under an amendment added to the second defi- ciency appropriation bill. The amendment, offered by the Benate Appropriations Committee, conforms to Senate tradition that widows or dependents of Senators who die “in harness” be given $10.000. Benator Cutting was killed in an air- plane crash in Missouri last May while returning to Washington.

Is Ended “apostle of hard work,” who died —Star Staff Photo. Edson (Continued From First Page.) Mrs, Jane Edson Livingston of Sewick- ley, Pa. and seven great-grandchil- dren. A'son, John Joy Edson, jr., died in 1925 and another son dled in in- fancy. Only a few weeks ago, on his last birthday anniversary, which he cele- | brated at work in his office in the Equitable Co-operative Building Asso- ciation Building, Mr. Edson paused to receive a reporter for The Star in what had become an annual birthday interview assignment. On that oc- casion, as on many others, the soft- spoken, kindly executive expounded | upon his philosophy of life, which was “work hard and do right.” In that interview he predicted that this lifelong philosophy, coupled with unswerving faith in American funda- mentals, would bring prosperity to| the Nation—just as it had brought success to him as an individual. Saw Hope in Future. “Of course, we will have prosperity again,” the banking patriarch de-i clared, as he sat at a desk piled high with flowers from admirers. “But there js no man living with intuition enough to forecast the hour or day of another great business boom. We have been through a bad depression, but we have had depressions in the past and always we have come through them safely. “The morale of the people has been low, but adherence to the principles laid down by our forefathers will re- store confidence and bring real re- covery.” Mr, Edson, as he graciously posed for a photograph, remarked that he had not missed a day at his office in three-and-a-half years. “No sir,” he said, proudly, “I haven't taken a vacation of any kind in three years. Work keeps me fit— and I expect to be at my desk here for a long time to come.” At that time Mr. Edson appeared to be in the best of health, except for a slight cold. Despite the cold he in- sisted on joining old friends of the Board of Trade on their annual shad- bake outing the next day at Quan- tico, Va., and apparently suffered no ill effects. Grosvenor Feels Loss. Perhaps few of the legion of asso- clates of Mr. Edson will feel his loss more than Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the National Geographic Society. Mr, Edson accepted the office of treasurer of the society 34 years ago. At his office today, Dr. Grosve- nor said: “Words cannot express the loss I feel 1n the passing of my old friend and co-worker. In his death, the a rich personality, a wise counselor. His service to the society was one of the dominant factors in its growth. Thirty-four years ago a notable com- pany of explorers, scientists and educators, gathered in the home of Alexander Graham Bell. They were sorely perplexed. They believed they had a plan for developing an organ- ization that if realized would render ing people acquainted with each other, ead thus overcoming that ancient and unfortunate human prejudice which calls all unknown people barbarians. A balance wheel, a treasurer who possessed vision as well as business acumen was needed. Dr. Bell sug- he accepted. “At that time the National Geo- graphic Society was a struggling group of some 2,500 members. The per- sonnel of the society consisted of one clerk and myself. In his long service he maintained an active interest in the affairs of the society and has watched its membership pass one million.” Camp Flags at Half Mast. Flags were at half staff at both Camp Good Will and Camp Pleasant today, following the announcement of the death of Mr. Edson. Memorial services will be held at both camps in recognition of the loss of “the best nJuan, Puerto avana. Cuba____. Coloa. Canal Zons.. friend these camps have had.” Mr. Edson was the instigator of the Sum- mer Outings Committee, a branch of the Associated Charities, which is now the Family Service Association, form- ed especially to promote camping. He was chairman of this committee from the time of its formation until his death and supported both camps liberally, not only financially, but by visits and deep interest in the welfare of the clients as well. Mr. Edson made it & point to visit each camp several times during the season and went carefully into the details of operation, chatting with the mothers and children and striving to learn what means could be taken to make this short vacation happier. ‘When the Associated Charities became & member of the Community Chest, Mr. Edson continued his activities on behalf of the camps and co-operated whole-heartedly with the Chest in their support. Bankers Named. In the absence of Charles H. Doing, president of the District of Columbia Bankers’ Association, now away on his vacation, Karl W. Corby, first vice \ | backed into him, fracturing his skull | | get about I will not forsake public president, today named the following bankers to represent the association at Mr. Edson’s funeral: H. H. McKee, president of the Na- tional Capital Bank and chairman of | the Washington Clearing House Asso- | ciation; Robert V. Fleming, president | of the Riggs National Bank and first | vice president of the American Bank- | ers’ Association; Corcoran president of the American Security & Trust Co.; George W. White, president of the National Metropolitan Bank, | and Prancis G. Addison, jr., president | of the Security Savings & Commercial | Bank. Mr. Edson was critically injured by | an automobile in 1928 as he was| Thom, | ¥ sioner Taliaferro reviewed Mr. Edson’s remarkable career as a citizen, philan- thropist and public servant and stressed his work as chairman of the commission which investigated prison conditions in 1909. As a result of that investigation, the Commissioner said, conditions have improved throughout the country. One of Mr. Edson’s later positions of service was the treasurership of the National Press Bullding Corporation, in which capacity he arranged the financing and many details of con- struction of the new National Press Building, at Fourteenth and F streets. He was particularly happy to be of help in this undertaking, for he was deeply interested in journalism and in the National Press Club. He envisioned the new club building as “a great national gathering place for the press, where journalists from all parts of the world may come to- gether, get acquainted and discuss im- portant problems of how best to pro- mote their professional interests and render the highest public service.” Declined Compnissionership. Mr, Edson at least twice declined appointment as District Commissioner. He was formally offered the post by President Harrison in 1893 and by President McKinley in 1901, and it is | said he was offered the appointment informally on other occasions. He was treasurer of the United States Chamber of Commerce for many years after its organization in 1912, and later was made honorary vice president. His advice and aid were sought persistently by persons high in the business world who count- ed as invaluable his financial counsel in matters of importance, Born in Ohio. Mr. Edson was born May 17, 1846, in Jefferson, Ohio, and he received his early education in the Ohio pub- lic schools. He cut short his prelimi- nary schooling to enlist, at the age of 15. with the 61st New York Volun- teers. He served with the Union forces from 1861 to 1863, when he was discharged because of impaired health. During his enlistment he was asigned to the Infantry and he carried important messages at the battles of Antietam and Fredericksburg. On being mustered out of the mili- tary service he applied for a Govern- ment position here, and was appointed a messenger in the Treasury Depart- ment. He was soon promoted to | clerk in the office of the controller of | tlslgls currency, serving from 1863 to Receives Degree in Law. During this period of employment he spent his evenings studying to be- come a lawyer. He attended a night school and then went to the old Ca- lumbian Law School, now George Washington University. He received his law degree in 1868 and was ad- mitted to the bar the same year. leaving his offices on F street. The car and inflicting other injuries so serious | that surgeons for a time despaired of | his life. His strong constitution en- abled him to recover fully after a long siege at Emergency Hospital. The Masonic fraternity today re- corded the loss of its olcest member in point of continuous membership. | Mr. Edson was a member of Columbia | Lodge, F. A. A. M. ‘ Rose From Farm Boy. | The story of Mr. Edson’s rise from humble farm surroundings to dean of financial circles of the Capital City was an Alger-like mspiration to youth. “I learned how to work on the farm back home,” he told The Star | on his last birthday anniversary. “It was there I learned the value of money. My first job was on the neighboring farm of Comfort Gid- dings. I received 25 cents a day for harvesting hay. At the end of two weeks I was handed $3—the largest sum I had ever had in my hands. I didn’t keep it long, however. I had to turn it back to Comfort to pay for two loads of pumpkins we had bought from him. That was a bitter disappointment.” Mr. Edson’s oft-expressed wish that he might never become so infirm as to sit idle was granted him—for, except for his last short {liness, he continued his duties as head of the Equitable Co-operative Building Association and chairman of the Washington Loan & | Trust Co. Had Faith in Youth. “As long as I am physically able to service nor leave my desk at my office,” he declared. “I hope the day may never come when I am helpless to pursue my labors.” He added: “The young people of today are not going to the dogs, as some critics are wont to believe. I think that, on the whole, they are working harder than some of their elders did at the same age. There is 8 lot of talk about crime, but you must remember there are more laws today than there used to be. That means more opportunities for law violation “I don't think the people are any worse by nature. As long as the young men and women keep working there will be no need to worry about them. And in work they will find bappiness—as I have.” Mr. Edson died in fufillment of his oft-expressed desire that death would find him “still at work, still active, still in harness.” On a previous birthday anniversary he announced his intention of curtail- lnx; some of his “heavier responsibili- Sought D. C. Vote. “In the evening of life,” he said, “I feel that I should preserve my health and effectiveness and usefulness by conserving my energy and strength. I cannot work at full speed and there- fore I must relinquish some of my more arduous connections. Mr. Edson’s death robbed him of his chance of seeing another wish grant- ed. This wish was summed up tersely in his famous declaration: “I want to vote before I die in this voteless community.” He long had been one of Washing- ton's most ardent advocates of na- tlonal representatiop and was a mem- ber of the Executive Committee of the Joint Citizens’ Committee on National Representation for the District of Co- lumbia. In accordance with his plan for re- ducing his active connections with some organizations, Mr. Edson in 1929 relinquished the post of treas- urer of the Associated Charities after a period of service in that capac- ity of 31 years. He was presented a brass fireplace set in appreciation of his long services at an anniversary meeting of the organization & few weeks ago. At _this meeting District Commis- He resigned from the Government | service in 1875 to engage in the prac- tice of patent law with his brother, Joseph Edson. He withdrew from this partnership in 1881 to devote his whole attention to building associa- tions. He then was secretary of the Franklin and the Jefferson Building | Associations. When these associa- tions closed their careers upon ma- turing of their single issues of shares, he took over active direction of the | affairs of the Equitable Co-operative Building Association, which he had organized in 1879. He was secretary | of this association from its inception | until 1898, when he was elected presi- dent. He had held that office ever | since. President of Trust Company. In 1894 he was made president of the Washington Loan & Trust Co., and he held that post until 1917, when he was made chairman of the board. He was first vice president of the bank from 1879 to 1894. He was a director of the Columbia National Bank at the time of his death. His work on the Federal Prison Commission won him national re- nown. Appointed to the commission by President Roosevelt, he visited more than 70 prisons in all parts of the United States and instituted numerous reforms. His capacities for civic leadership | led to his appointment as chairman of various committees in charge of public celebrations and ceremonies in the Capital. He was head of the executive committee which recefved and entertained the Grand Army of the Republic in 1892 on the occasion of the veterans’ first and largest re- union here. He was chairman of the | Inaugural Committee for President | McKinley’s inauguration in 1901 and was a member of each Inaugural f;:le;:unve Committee from 1889 to Other Activities. He was a vice president of the Association of Oldest Inhabitants of the District of Columbia. He was president of the D. C. Civil Service Reform Assoctation from 1895 to 1907 and of the Federal Board of Charities from 1900 to 1919. He served as treasurer of George Washington Uni- versity from 1903 to 1905 and since 1901 had been a member of the board of trustees. He was president of the old D. C. Board of Charities and a member end former chairman of the present Board of Public Welfare. He was presi- dent of the John Dickson Home. Hewas a member of the National Association for Constitutional Government, the Archeological Society of Washington, the National Geographic Society, the Columbia Historical Society, the Cos- mos Club, University Club, Metropol- itan Club, Chevy Chase Club, National Press Club and Monday Evening Club. He was treasurer of the wational Geo- graphic Society from 1900 to 1919. Joining the Board of Trade upon its organization, he was made a mem- ber of the Finance Committee, was elected a director in 1896, was made chairman of the Committee on Tax- were served in 1900 and 1901. His interest in the board’s activities had been unflagging. He'had rarely missed attending any of the larger meetings and had participated in vitually all its outstanding civic undertakings. Always intensely interested in charity work, he gave of his time ana money generously in furtherance of philanthropic programs in Washing- ton. He had been chairman of the Summer Outing Committee for Chil- dren since 1903. Mr. Edson was a delegate to the Pan-American Financial Congress in 1914, and during the World War was chairman of the District of Columbia draft appeal board, Honored by Citizens. In recognition of the esteem in which he was held by the entire citizenry of Washington, he was ten- dered a memorable civic banquet on the cccasion of ‘his seventy-fifth birthday anniversary in 1921. The citizens presented him with a pair of valuable silver loving cups. He ai- ways looked back upon this banquet as a climactic event in his life. Al- though profoundly touched by the extraordinary honor, he subsequently, with characteristic modesty, squelched further movements to honor him on his birthday anniversary. “Wait until I'm a hundred before you give me another banquet,” he laughingly remarked on hearing of plans for a dinner in his honor Mr. Edson had a habit of declining honors. He accepted only such offices as he thought afforded him an oppor- tunity for service to the people and shunned appointments which offered only personal prestige. His whole career was devoted to rendering ser- vice to others, for in so doing he reaped real enjoyment.

Nolan, local automobile Cealer, is preparing an appeal, it was stated today, from a District Su- preme Court decree awarding his wife, Mrs. Alice M. Nolan, a limited di- vorce. The decree, signed by Justice Joseph W. Cox, also awarded Mrs. Nolan custody of their two children end required the husband to pay $450 a month maintenance. In addition, he was directed to pay $4,000 to Mrs. Nolan's attorneys. Justice Cox ordered Nolan to post | ® $5,000 bond to supercede the de- cree, but exempted the maintenance from the effect of the appeal. He also dismissed a cross petition filed by Nolan. It is expected the case will befixelrd in the Court of Appeals next Fall. e PARADE INAUGURATES CARNIVAL OF CHURCH Holy Comforter Boys' Band Leads Procession Through Foxhall and Potomac Heights. and Potomac Heighis featured the opening last night of the annual car- nival of Our Lady of Victory Parish A parade through Foxhall Village | sentative Chapman, Democrat, of Kentucky, was appointed. Hearings are to be opened next Monday, Chap- man said, adding that Undersecretary of Agriculture Tugwell, whose original bill was killed in the Senate, would be cne of the witnesses. Indicating a division of opinion in the administration over the measure, word was sent to Chapman yesterday by the Federal Trade Commission that it would present witnesses to oppose certain phases of the Cope- land bill. Chapman also said he was told the Trade Commission had hoped the bill would not come up for action at this session. “The President sent word he wanted the bill passed this session,” Chapman said. “The committee will have before it three bills—the Cope- land bill, passed by the Senate, and the Mead and Sirovich measures. I don’t know which bill will be the basis for consideration.” Robert H. Pritchard of Weston, W. president of the National Edi- [ torial Association, representing 12,000 weekly and small daily newspapers, told Chapman yesterday his organi-' zation favored the Copeland bill as it passed the Senate, but opposed other pending measures. “Scores of organizations represent- ing the food, drug and cosmetic in- dustries have requested time to pre- sent testimony before the committee,” Chapman said. “In order to speed up consideration, I shall ask each group to seleet one person to present its | arguments for or against the legisla- | tion.
