URGES NATION TAKE IT

Commercial patriotism founded on
the memory of Americas greatest ma
tional hero. George Washington. has
been fostered for the financial benefit OF
close corporation. accordingsto charges
made and reiterated against the board
of regents of Mount Vernon. Today
these charges remain uncontroverted,
and the conditions complained of have
not been altered
The principal charge against the re-
gents is that through fee of admission
to Mount Vernon, through the sale of
all the products of the big plantation,
and through the use of all manner of
'catch-penny" schemes a large fund has
been raised at the expense of the rever-
ence of the nation for its father
The accusation also is made that
WashinSton's tomb is not properly
cared for: that many relics in the old
mansion are fakes. and that the two
transportation companies. the Mount
Vernon and Marshall Hall Steamboat
Company and the WashinSton-V Virginia
Railway Company. are in league with
the board of regents to found a highly
profitable monopoly on the natural de-
sire OF every American TO visit Wash
inStons tomb. The tomb at Mount Yer
non is the only tomb at which = fee is
charged for admission.

it to the betterment of their health and
the betterment of humanity
Why Senator Norris is such an advo-
cate for bathing beach for the poor
boy. may be better understood by a
glance at his early boyhood. He was
born in Sdndusky County. Ohio, in 1881
and spent his early boyhood on the farm
where he was born. His father died
when Senator Norris was but a small
boy. A brother was killed in the civil
war and Senator Norris mother was
left in Strengthened circumstances.
Senator Norris was compelled to work
out among the neighboring farmers by
day and month during the summer, and
attended the district school during the
winter. Afterward he taught school ana
earned money to defrly the expenses OF
a higher education. He attended Bald
win University. Berea. Ohio. and North
ern Indiana Normal School.
He studied law while teaching and
afterward finished a course In law school.
He was admitted q the bar in 1883 and
went to Nebraska in 1885. He was
three times prosecuting attorney. twice
by appointment and once by election. re-
fusing a second nomination for the posi-
ton. He was elected district judge of
the Fourteenth district of Nebraska m
1895 and reelected to the same position
in 1899 He held the position when

MRS. JAMES N. DAVIS DIES.
Writer Was Native of Virginia and
Old Resident Here.

Friends of Mrs. James Newcomb Davis.
whose pen name was Mamie g. Marshall
Davis. were shocked to learn of her
death Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Davis
had been i'll for several weeks. Last
week her only daughter. Mrs. Clarence

end came AT George Washington Univer-
sity Hospital.
Mrs. Davis had been a resident of
Washington for many years, and had a
circle of friends extending over the coun-
try. She was born on the old Marshall

association states that In 1901 the place
was managed for only 5000 and that
salaries were increased to keep down the
maintenance fund. which is always in
creasing.
The charges by the anti-fee asso-
citation are broader and more ex-
tensive than those made in the bill
submitted to Congress.
The association charges that half
the regents have outgrown their use
fulness: that the working classes are
given no opportunity to visit Mount
Vernon on Sundays, and that the gov
eminent has betrayed the expenses of
numerous improvements at Mount
Vernon. including $4,000 for building
Washington's tomb and 900 for the
wharf and dredging the channel to the
wharf
Urges National Control.
The association suggests that it is
more imperative that Mount Vernon
be taken over as a Federal reserva-
tion than Monticello. Thomas Jeffer-
sons old home, for which a bill was
introduced in Congress early this
month.
In refuting the contention of the
regents that Mount Vernon is theirs
to govern as they see fit because they
purchased the property after the gov
eminent had refused to do so, the anti
fee association points out that the
property was purchased by popular
subscriptions taken not only from the
wealthy people of the nation but from
school children, newsboys and bust
ness men. Patriotic organizations
contributed largely. Since then con-
tributions to the maintenance fund
have been made by school children of
the country.
AT the time of the purchase there
was no intention of charging an ad-
mission fee. This was the idea OF
a later board of regents. and accord
ing to the anti-fee association Mount
Vernon as memorial to George
Washington has degenerated into a
money-making scheme.

"OLE SWIMMIN' HOLE"
FOR DISTRICT URGED
Norris, of Nebraska. Thinks Potomac
Park Tidal Basin Could Be
Made Boys Paradise.

Senator Norris, of Nebraska. champion
Of the small boy and friend Of the peo-
pie, Is one Of the many men on Capt.
toll Hill who believe Congress has been
very negligent in failing to provide pub
lie bathing facilities for the people. He
declares that no city has neglected the
public bathing question as it has been
neglected in the National Capital by Con-
gress.
Senator Norris recently made an effort
to amend the District appropriation bill
so as to provide $4,000 for Transforming
the Tidal Basin in Potomac Park into
a public bathing beach large enough
to accommodate hundreds Of bathers at
one time and clean enough to satisfy the
most severe sanitation critics. His
amendment was killed on a point of
order.
Tidal Basin is a pool of about 10
acres Of water. four to eight feet deep

yachts floating on it, said Senator Nor

the District OF Columbia. These little
pools ere so crowded that not one-tenth
of the people can get the accommoda-

Of persons who want to go in bathing in
summer have no place to go.
The pools are but a stones throw
from Tidal Basin, which today is useless
though We have spent several hundred
thousand dollars in the last ten or fifteen
years creating il. There is not another
city in the United States that has any

The attitude the regents have chosen to
