Whole Statement False

Aswell until Saturday afternoon
since about two years before he
CDR. Aswel!) became superin-
tendent of schools.
Mr.. Calhoun further said that
the whole stery of The Item, so
far, as it dealt with Dr.. Aswell's
visit to him, was false. And the
reason for him seeing Dr.. Aswell
Saturday afternoon Was that he
might explain to him that The
Item had not truthfully quoted
him.
In his statement dictated to
the States, Mr., Calhoun said that
he had made the refund at the
advice of Gov. Blanchard and
Martin Bernham then State
Auditor.
Mr.. Calhoun told The Items
detective. so his statement shows
that it was Gov. Blanchard who
ordered the refund, but The Item
substituted DR.. Aswell.
The statement of Mr.. Calhoun
was dictated in the library of his
home, 925 Camp Street. It is as
follows:
Mr.. caIhoun's Statement
The facts of the matter are
these; | LETT Baton Rouge, l
think, early inJune, 1904. Ihad
previously drawn from the
treasurer 1888 1-3 which l re.
garded as the amount due me for
salary for June, 1904, and for
Office expense account the sane
month.
"A short time after | had
returned to New Orleans, | was
informed that DR.. Aswell com.
planned in Baton Rouge of thus
action of mine, that is my having
drawn the money referred to.
Gov. Blanchard came to the city
on business about that time-I
don't recall the exact date-I
went to see him. / told him of
my action, that is Of the money |
had drawn. and he, tapping the
table with his hand, expressed
his disapprobation.
Following my visit, and after
reflection, ] sent the treasurer a
check for $333 1-3 and the matter
was closed"
Mr.. Calhoun, in answer to a
question, said that his son sawMr.
Behrman on the matter, and that
Mr.. Behrman also advised that
the money should be refunded.
Told Item II Was Gov. Blanchard.
THE visitof Dr.. Aswell to me"
Mr.. Calhoun continued "con-
cerning which I am quoted in
The Item, did not occur. I told
| their representative of the visit
that | paid to Gov. Blanchard,
not of any visit of Dr.. Aswell to
me. ] went to The Item office
this afternoon, and dictated a
correction OF the story.
II also visited Dr.. AswelI, at
his headquarters in the Grune-
valid hotel, and explained to him
that | had not said what The
Item quoted me as having said.
That was the first time that |
had seen Dr.. Aswell since about
two years before he became
superintendent Of the public
schools.
DR., Aswell showed me extracts
from the books of the auditor
showing that the money / re-
funded, 1888 1.3, made up the
monthly allowances, that is the
allowances for June, 1904, fol
travelling expenses and for Office
expense, both drawn in advance

Lunch House on King street, was be-
fore the Police Court this morning to
answer certain questions concerning

the upper story of the building oc-
cupied by him. When asked who was

abouts, Prevolos said his brother was

knowledced that he had charge of the
nlace, Justice Cation ordered him to
keep certain persons known to ire
ouent the place from the upper rooms

Prevolos to the fact that formerly an

raj occasions been raided by the po-
lice. and that recently the street en-
trance had been closed and that at

TRIBUTE To MAI. JANNEY.
Commentator of Designer of Car
Coupler Which Has Saved
Thousands of Lives.

G. Edwin Entwisle, native OF Alex
andria, but for many years resident
of Baltimore, writes the following to
the Baltimore Sun concerning the late
Major E. H. Janney, inventor of the
car coupler. which has saved many
lives of railway employees, as we'll as
patrons of steam trains:
Major E. II. Janney, who died re-
Gently in Alexandria, at the breaking
out of the Civil War, enlisted as prl-
vate in Virginia's Loudoun county con-
tingent of the Confederate army. His
noted merits were quickly apprecla-
ted by his superiors, and he was soon
promoted to the rank of major, which
he held until the close of the war, In
April, 1865.
kske many other Confederates, he
was thrown upon his own resources
for a livelihood at the close of the four
years conflict. He then went to Alex
andria and was given position as
salesman by Wilmer G. Slaymaker, a
large dry goods firm, who, although OF
Northern birth, were Of strong South
crn proclivities, and duly suffered the
penalty thereof during the war
One morning the writer met Major
Janney, who exhibited model carved
out of hickorl or dogwood. what Is
that?" was asked Of the Major. ut IS
a model of a car coupler, "he said. The
answer he got was: "Why Major, so
many practical railroard men have
tried the same thing without success;
how can you, dry goods clerk, eX-
pect to be successful?" He said,"l
felt that way myself, but | have
shown this model to many railroad
men, and they say, Eureka! You have
found it," And he had. 1t was plac-
ed in the hands of honest patent at
torneys, patent was granted, manu-
featuring was begun, and soon the
Janncy coupler was in use, and revo-
lutionized rairoading throughout the
world, the inventor realizing a hand
some fortune out of its profits.
But it is not Of Major Janney as a
soldier or dry goods clerk that this
is written, but of Janncy, the humane
inventor, through whose agency thou
sands of useful lives of men have been
saved to their wives and families.
The deadly bumper does its gruesome
work no more, thanks to Janney.
Monuments have and are being
erected to warriors who have slain
their thousands Why should not one
be erected to one whose invention has
saved thousands? 1t would be a
graceful act on the part of railroad
officials and employees everywhere to
contribute and erect to Major Janncy'S
memory suitable memorial over his
grave at his late home, Alexandria.
