MODERN BUILDINGS.
Home of the Author of Star Spangled
Banner - Characteristic of
Ye Olden Time.

The Key mansion. located at 1913 M
street northwest, the former home OF
Francis Scott Key, author of The Star
Spangled Banner" is threatened with de-
truction in the near future to make room
for the erection of three stores and dwell
irgs. The picturesque old residence Is now
part of the estate of Dr. Louis w. Rltcale.
OF which Abner c. Ritehie, a surviving son.
is trustee. and it is the announced inten-
ton of it's present owners to make use Of

tive improvements.
The old residence which is strikingly
characteristic of rye olden style of archi-

was United States district attorney for the
District of Columbia prior to his death III
1913 1t has come to the notice of cor
respondent, OF The Star who has been IN
that neighborhood for several years daily,
that so few people who notice the old home

Sketch of Scott Key.
A personal sketch of Key, printed in
Joflnson,s "0ur Familiar Sons and Their
Authors" in 1881, is as follows:
Francis Scott Key, author of the words
OF THE Star Spangled Banner" was born
In Frederick county, Md. August 1. 1779.
His family was among the earlier settlers.
and his father was an officer In the revo-
lutionary army. Francis was educated at
ST. Johns College, Annapolis. and became
a lawyer in his native town. He wrote sew.
eral lyrics. with no thought of publication.
They were scra wled upon backs of letters
and so many odd scraps of paper that the
sequence of the verses was a puzzle to the
friends who after his death, attempted to
gather all that had been written by the
author of our national song. Mr. Key was
district attorney nf Washington, d. c., and
died In that city January II, 1S43.
During the of 1Si2-15,. when the Brit
ish fleet lay in Chesapeake bay, Mr.. Key
went out from Baltimore in a small boat
under flag of truce, to ask the release of
a friend, a civilian who had been cap

his plans for an attack upon Fort Nc
Henry. and instead of releasing one he re-
tanned both.

little boat lay moored to the commander
vessel. and through a day and night, ex-
posed TO fire from his friends. he watched
the flag which Lord Cockburn had boosted
would yield in a few hours As the morn
ing of the 14th broke he saw 1t still waving
in its familiar place.
Then. as his fashion was he snatched an
old letter from his pocket and. laying it on
an old barrehead, gave vent to his delight
In the spirited song which he entitled The
Defense of Fort McHenry''
THE Star-Spangled Banner was printed
within week in the Baltimore Patriot"
under the title of The Defense of Fort Nc
Henry and found it's way immedia tely
into the camps of our army Ferdinand
Durany. who belonged to a dramatic COM
pany and had played in Baltimore the
alter with John Howard Payne read the
poem effectively to the soldiers encamped
in that city, who were expecting another
attack. They begged him to set the words
to music and he hunted up the old air of
Adams and Liberty set the words to it,
and sang it to the soldiers, who caught it
up amid tremendous applause. Durany
died in Baltimore in 1915
The Washington National INTEL gencer of
January 6. 1915 has this advertisement con-
Spicuously displayed on the editorial page:
STAR SPANGLED BANNER and YE
SEAMEN OF COLUMBIA-Two favorite
patriotic songs, this day received and for
sale by Richards & Mallory, Bridge street,
Georgetown
The Flag a New One.
1t is said that the particular flag which
inspired the song was a new one that Gen.
Geo Armstead. the defender of Fort Nc
Henry. had had made to replace the old
one, which was badly altered The new
banner was flung TO the breeze for the first
time on the morning that his daughter
Georgeanna was born, which event took
place within the fort during the lombard
ment. BY permission of the general gov
eminent the hero of Fort McHenry was
allowed to retain the flag. and he provided
in his will that The Star Spangled Ban
ner'' should be the property of his daugh-
ter. This lady became the wife of w. Stu
art Appleton of New York, and died in 1878.
The flag is now in possession of the Mas
sachusetts Historical Society.
In 1861 DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote
the additional stanZa. which is as follows:
When land is Illumined with Libertys smile
If foe from within strike blow at her glory,
Down! Down. with the traitor who dares to defle
The flag of her stars and the page OF her story
BY the millions unclaimed when biFthright was
gained
We wiz keep her bright biazon forever unstalned;
And The star spanged banner In triumph shall
wave
While the land of the free is the home of the
brave.

FOR PRIVATE USE.
VIM. Peters Said to Be Unlawfully
Occupying Public Space.

Action has been taken by the Commits
sioners authorizing Corporation Counsel E.
III. Thomas to institute civil proceedings
against William Peters, a colored man. and
to compel the latter to vacate certain por-
lions of Division avenue (52d street north
easD. which. it Is alleged. he is using for
private purposes. A protest against Peters
occupancy of the space, which embraces
most of the land along s52l. street between
and + streets was made to the Com
missoners about month ago by ]. w.
Glennan and Mr.. Glennan asked that sd
street be improved, and that he be given
authority to do the work
Recommendations favorable to the grant
ing of this request were made by the var
ious heads of departments concerned. and
the police were ordered to bring Peters into
court the charge of Illegally occupying
public space. Such action was. attempted
by the police. but issue of a warrant was
refused in the Police Court on the ground
that civil action only could be brought
against Peters.
Besides ordering that such a proceeding
be Instituted the Commissioners have is
sued permit to Mr.. Glennan to go ahead
with the work of improving the street.

Auto Lights and Horns.

To the Editor OF The Star:
cannot too strongly commend the letter
OF Thomas Bryan Houck. on auto horns,
bells and lights. in your issue of June IS
Mr.. Houck's position is strong one and he
apparently speaks whereof he knows /
cordially indorse every word of his article.
1t goes without saying that the greatest
nuisance today on our streets Is the ag-
gressive high-powered road engine, with its
excess of glaring lights, driven at high
speed. largely by irresponsible youngsters
and would-b be sports. relying on their horns
to give them the right of way. and whose
main object seems to be to show them
selves and their machines to the long suf-
ferfng public. All high-powered lights and
horns should be promptly eliminated.
would suggest that all warning signals be
reduced to continuous sounding bell, of
power and tone fixed by the Commissions
ers. that for bicycles to be heard, say, fifty
feet and that for power-driyen machines
900 feet. CHARLES N. MOORE.
