FRANCIS SCOTT KEY
DESCENDANT DESTITUTE
Efforts to Get Government Position
for Husband of Authors Grand
daughter Fail.

On the eve of the anniversary of the
writing of The Star Spangled Banner"
by Francis Scott Key. Mrs. \. Mcdonald
McBlair. the aged granddaughter of the
author is destitute. Mrs. Blair lives with
her husband at the ClaremOnt, Twenty
first and r streets northwest.
Word was received yesterday from At
tOrney General McReynolds that the eff
forts of friends to get Mr.. McBlair a gov
ernment position were of no avail. II is
said that in his letter the Attorney Cen
eral informs them that it would be use
less to make any appeals from this deci-
sion. President Roosevelt, during his ad-
ministTatOn. discovered a romance be-
tween the present Mrs McBlair, who
then was unmarried and holding a minor
government position, and A. Mcdonald
McBlair, the sweetheart of her youth
He promptly found McBlair a place in the
Department of Justice and the faithful
sweethearts were married
During President Tafts administration
Mr. McBlair lost his position. After the
Inauguration of President Wilson prOmi-
nent Democrats OF Maryland brought the
case to his attention. The President re-
ferred the matter to the Attorney General,
who yesterday rendered his decision.

COL. B. R. ROSS
dies SUDDENLY
Ill for Past MoEih, but 1t Was
Not Thought to Be
Fatal.
HEART TROUBLE CAUSE
For Twenty-six Years He Instructed
High School Cadets and Was
Civil War Veteran.

Col. Burton r. Ross, for the last TWEEN
ty-six years military instructor OF the
white high schools, clerk in the adju.
tant's office of the War Department ever
since the civil war. member OF the G. A.
R., and Prominent Mason. died yesterday
afternoon az his residence, 1908 II street
northwest. Heart trouble was the i'm
mediate cause of death, although Col
Ross had been confined to his home for
the past month SUFFERING from a combi-
nation Of diseases. He was seventy
years old.
Col. Ross death came as a distinct
shock to Principal Emory NJ. Wilson, OF
the Central High School. and the colonels
many other friends throughout the city.
The news spread rapidly among the hun
dreds upon hupdreds of young men, who
at one time or another during the past
two decades have been members Of the
cadet corps which Col. Ross developed
from a body of two companies to a regi-
ment Of twelve, known throughout the
United States as the best organization OF
its kind.
Funeral on Monday.
The funeral will take place Monday aft
ernoon and will be in charge OF the Ma
sonic Lodge, with interment at Arlington.
Besides his wife, Col. Ross leaves a
daughter, Miss Emily Ross.
As soon as the news Of their COM
mander's" sudden death reached them,
scores Of cadets went to call at the fam
lily residence to express their sympathy
and to hear about the end OF the colonel
who had laid down TO answer the re
veile" bugle in the great beyond.
lUness Not Thought Fatal.
While Col Ross had been suffering for
more than four weeks. IL was at no time
feared by his friends that his illness
would be fatal Despite his age, he was
generally known to be of good health
and to have a splendid constitution. As
In everything he did, he was particularly
systematic in his mode OF living and al
ways made it a special point to emphasize
to his disciples that regularity In sleeping
and eating was the basic necessity Of
good health.
Last summer Col. Ross spent his vaca-
ton in Atlantic City. and 1t is understood
by his friends that the yigor with which
he fought the surf Of the ocean during
his daily bath might have something to
do with the subsequent illness from which
he was not to recover. According to
Ernest L. Thurston, Col. Ross seemed to
be on the road to recovery when Mr..
ThurstOn visited him last Saturday.
