many years the couple resided quietly
and happily at beautiful old house, No.

Church street, nearly two years ago. Mr..
and Mrs. De Morgan also have a hand
some villa at Florence, Italy, where they
generally spend part Of each year. The
couple have no children and live very
retired lives.
Only. in IAN Affair of Dishonour" has
Mr.. De Morgan departed from his former
methods of detailing what he knew from
personal memory. This book, which con-
tains more plot than any of his others,
deals with q romance Of the restoration
epoch. With an historical setting the
author has shown his genius equally well
and the atmosphere of the days of
Charles II is admirably caught. while the
description of the battle Of Colebay, in
1865. is one of the finest things in story
writing.
De Morgan's women are worthy of note
as they are fascinating and lovable
They are lifelike and each has her own
peculiar attraction. If the gifted author
should write nothing more he will have
left an indelible mark in English 1itera-
ture, for he has undoubtedly breathed
new life into the dry bones Of the con-
temporary English novel, now largely
devoted to society, sport and crime.

There was no hope of averting colli-
sion.

WANTS PENSIONS PAID
FROM LICENSE TAXES
Plan for Police and Firemen
Proposed by Represent
ative CarIin.

Representative Carlin OF Virginia today
explained in detail his position with ref
erence to the question Of providing for
the DEFICIENCIES which now arise in the
police and f1remen's pension fund In the
District. Mr.. Carlin declared that while
he was in favor Of the half-and- half
principle of appropriation for all matters
relating to the District. he believed there
was better chance of passing a meas
ure which provided that the deficiency
should be made up from license taxes,
as suggested by his bill. He said he
was anxious to have the pensions for the
police and firemen paid, no matter what
means were taken to bring this about.
Opposes Redfield Bill.
Before the District committee yesterday
Mr.. Carlin said he believed the Reddeld
bill would be criticised by the people OF
the District because it called for a spe-
cial tax on property in the District to
provide the pensions. He said he believed
the people would prefer to have the de-
ficiency which now exists, amounting to
about $4,000 annually. taken from other
license taxes than those now covered in
the law. The present law, he said, takes
all the pensions from the revenues of
the District, and the half-and-half prin-
ciple Is not involved. He said he pre-
ferred merely to extend this law SO as
to make up the deficiencies from other
license taxes.
