rubbing her ear.
That low rumbling sound, punctu,
ated with tight Kisses like jets OF
steam escaping from a superheated
radiator Is Jefferson NJ. Levy, pro
prietor of Monticello, trying to con,
tain himself. As he has indicated, Mr.
Levy does not wish to part with Mon,
ticello, which has been in his family
since 1872. At each new move oi
Mrs. Littleton's the pressure upon Mr.
Levy's self control becomes proper

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-01-22

AS is known to a good many, Mrs.
Littleton suffered a preliminary de-
feat in December when the house yot-
ed down a special resolution calling
up for consideration a proposal to ap-
point a federal commission to inquire
into the advisability of purchasing
Monticello from Mr.. Levy, who dis
plays a certain reluctance to sell.
Most Of the house members regarded
this as a final defeat for Mrs. Little
tons project. But the fair crusader
only lifted her perky chin bit higher
and declared bravely that she had Oh.
ly begun to fight.
OF course, the complacent individu-
ais who had voted against Mrs. Lit
tleton's pet project were not disturbed
by this threat. They even INDUCED
themselves in a comfortable sorrow
that they had been compelled to dis
appoint her. And thea they forgot the
incident
Wherein, however, they reckoned
without their hostess. Immediately
Mrs. LittletoR had printed on parch
ment paper a handsome petition-to

Washington.-Mrs. Martin W. Little
ton, wife of the representative from
New York, has, as a good many peo-
pie in the United States know, an am
bition. That ambition is to have the
federal government purchase and main-
tain as a public memorial Thomas
Jefferson's old Virginia home, Month
cello pronounced MOntichelloD, now
the property of Jefferson NJ. Levy, of
New York, and Charlottesville. Va.
and representative in congress from
New York.
The particular connection which
Mrs. Littleton desires to have person.
ally with this ambition is to be the
instrument of patriotic energy which
will bring about legislation in congress
TO the desired end. And in pursuance
Of her ambition, Mrs. Littleton is
maintaining a Jefferson lobby in heI
husbands Office.
AS a lobbiest, Mrs. Littleton is moi
only unique in method but, it may b.
whispered, she is one of the fares
who ever operated at the nations cap
ital. And while this purposeful littl,
woman is a constant source of amuse
ment 10 the legislators, just al pres
ent an announcement of a new meth
cd of publicity which she intends Il
adopt is creating more than a it'll
dismay.

ton forms were mailed out, and now
they are returning by the huadred.
Literally a million names are now on
petitions which have been returned.
Long tables were brought into the
Littleton Office and the petitions stack
ed thereon. Then adversely disposed
congressman were invited to visit the
Office to read the names of influential
constituents demanding the purchase
OF Monticello.
The adversely disposed congress
men, however, did not flock in for edi-
fication. Then Mrss Littleton an
nounced her latet crusade plan. She
innocently said that she has been COM
PEELED to accept some of the many,
many invitations which have come to
her to deliver lectures on THE Ma
tons Historic Spots" For this pur-
pose she is having beautiful lanterA
slides prepared Also. numbers of the
petitions are being photographed and
made into lantern slides.
Now, of course, Mrs. Littleton will
do no such undignified thing as TO go
nents of her project purposely to
speak against them before their con-
| stituents. BY no means.
But of course, it is oaly natural
| that the most insistent demands for
| her lecture should come from districts
whose representatives are averse to
| buying Monticello. And what is more
natural than that the fair lecturer, af-

LAD SAYS HOLDUP
WAS ONLYAJOKE
Rudolph Englund Regrets That
Story He Made Up Got Be-
yond Confines of Home.

While admitting that he had framed
a hold-up story which upon investi-
cation by the police proved a fake,
Rudolph Englund disclalms nevertne-
less that he had any inteltion OF de-
ceiving any one beyond the point
where it would cease to be a joke.
In The Argus last night the tale as
tod by the police was printed, max
ing it appear that the boy had created
the hold-up story in order TO avoid
punishment for having squandered the
greater part of his weeks pay The
hold-up had not been reported to the
police, but il obtained such wide cir
culation in the east end OF the city
where young Englund resides, that
Commissioner Archie Hart heard Of IT
and caused an investigation. Then
# was that the boy admitted the story
was a fake
Today he submitted to The Argue
a statement in which at some length
he recounted the incidents OF last
Saturday night when the supposed
hold-up occurred. He told Of having
been out until a late hour aid OF
having gone home and sprung the
hold-up story-he says as a joke
Furthermore, he says he did not ex
pect anyone 10 take Il seriously and
thought no more OF il until he was mott
fed TO appear before the chief Of
police. There he at once confessed
that he had made up the story. The
lad says he has always enjoyed a gooC
reputation and hopes that his indis
erection in perpetrating a joke vii
not cause him to appear in a baC
light.
