WILLIS MAY STAY
OUT OF c. 0.P. RACE
Burton Likely Will Have Full
Backing of Ohio for
Presidency.

A private dispatch received in this
city today. from E. w. Mooney, former
Senator Buttons campaign manager, at
Cleveland, stated that the Cleveland
Leader today publishes the announce
ment of Gov. Willis intention to be-
come candidate for denomination as
governor and to support Mr.. Burton
for the presidential nomination.
1t was said that Gov. Willis state
ment will be followed soon by a for
NAL announcement from Mr.. Burton Of
his candidacy for the nomination.
AS straight as this information seems
to be. the friends in Washington of
former Senator Burton are waiting
with considerable anxiety for absolute
ly definite word from Gov. Willis on
the subject.
Gov. Willis has been backing and filling
on the proposition, it is said for some
time, now giving his hackers to under
stand that he will be candidate. and
next leading them to think he will stick
to the governorship
The latest report is that Gov. Willis
has decided not to seek the highest Office.
but the intimation did not have the gov
ernors 20. k and that is what the
statement to that effect from the governor
himself
i heir anxiety is said to be due to This:
AS soon as Gov. Willis definitely re-
nounces presidential aspirations, thereby
making a clear field in Ohio for Mr.. Bur-
ton, it is claimed that prominent repub-
licans in at least eight states will come
out in public Endorsement of the Burton
candidacy and give impetus in prac-
teal way to the Burton boom.
Delay Endorsement.
These men. who. 1t is claimed, are of
national prominence, will not publicly
announce their adherence to the Burton
cause until Mr.. Burton is assured of a
solid delegation from Ohio. With Gov.
Willis out Of the way, it is thought
that there will be no further difficulty.
In fact, the Burton men claim that
even with Gov. Willis in the field Mr..
Burton would get more than major
ity of the delegation, but in the mean
time while waiting for the primaries to
prove that claim. the valuable support
of men in other states would be with
held.

CANAL L0CKKEEPER'S
HOUSE TO Be MOVED
Change Necessary to Widen 18th
Street Approach to Po-
tomac Park.

With the view of widening the 18th
street approach to Potomac Park and
improving the general vicinity Col.
Harris, the engineer officer in charge of
public buildings and grounds, has
ordered a change in the location Of the
old canal lockkeeper's house that has
stood at 18th and B streets since 1928.
The building is one of the few tangible
relics of the old canal that started
from the Potomac river, near Easbys
point. and passed down B street. near
the Center market. and through the
Botanic Gardens. 1t was built in 1928
as a LIGHTHOUSE to control the water in
the canal, and was of most substantial
construction, it's walls consisting of
slabs of Potomac gneiss or bluestone.
six or seven feet long and two feet
thick.
Lower Floor Covered.
Originally it was three stories in
height but in raising the grade of
Potomac Park the lower floor was en-
tirely covered up. During the civil war
the building was used by the military
authorities as lookup for OBJ
streperous soldiers.
1t was abandoned by the canal COM
pany many years ago When the canal
was filled in. and about twelve years
ago was transferred to the govern
ment in connection with the project
for the creation of Potomac Park
Since then 1t has been used by the
officer in charge of public buildings
and grounds, mainly as Toulouse
and sometimes as a place for the de-
tention of persons arrested for vio-
lating the regulations of the park.
Plans Call for Removal.
Its removal was found necessary be-
cause of the fact that it stood on the
line of 18th street. The plans now in
process of execution involve its re-
moval intact about forty feet west
and ten feet north OF its present loca-
ton. c. L. Sears & Sons have been
awarded the contract for removing the
old structure to its new site. They
have been engaged in that work for
several days. using strong jacks and
heavy beams in lifting the heavy
structure from it's deep resting place
and transporting IL the short dis
lance required So far as possible the
building will retain it's original appear
ance. with sloping roof and gable win
dows on the north and south sides. 1t
is understoon that II will be fitted up
for the use of the superintendent Of
Potomac Park. and will also provide
,conveniences for the public. 1t Is ex-
pected that the transfer will be COM
pleted within the month.
