Washington was practically a village
when John Lane a n boy. His uncle
kept a small bookstore on Pennsyl-
vania avenue near the Capitol. and
there the statesmen of those days
often gathered and gossiped. Thither
came Davy Crockett in 1894 and talked
loudly of having antagonized his con-.

manner in which the CountenanCe Of the
Father of His Country impressed him.
This interview took place 1l2 years
after the death II the frs: President,
and while at first glance the statement
is seemingly Impossible Of credcnce 1t
is none the less true. 1t is true In
spite Of the fact that the man who saw
the physical face OF Washington was
not born until twenty-five years after
the latter had died.

This seemingly impossible thing i

cause a panel of glass had been fitted

MIR. GROUNDnOC
 SEES HIS SHADOW

Prepare for six weeks more of win ter This is grounding day." and after emerging from his hibernating place and waiting peacefully nearly all day under cloudy sky, Mir. Groundhog was alarmed about 3 o'clock when faint rays of the sun, breaking through the clouds, cast a shadow before him. The shadow was dim one, but in the opinion of the weather sharps it was amply suffi- cient to cause the groundhog to go scurrying back into his hole, there to remain for another six weeks.
 The present winter has already brought more severe weather than any within the past three years, and those who believe in the groundhog sign will be greatly disappointed that the cold is to continue for another month and half. The heavy rains of Saturday and Sunday have been followed by much colder weather and a light fall of snow, sufficient to whiten the roofs of houses, occurred this morning. Fair and colder wealth CT is predicted for tonight.

HART REFUSES TO QUIT HIS POSITION WANTS SISTER FOREMAN AUDITOR DECLINES TO HONOR VOUCHERS TILL ROW IS
 SETTLED.

Little Rock, Feb. 2.-The charity board controversy is becoming daily more complex. The new board Mon- day passed resolution dismissing R. w. Hart as secretary, but MT. Hart announced that he would not resign or quit, but that he proposed to finish out his term until April l. He had submitted proposition that he would resign if the board would agree to let his sister continue as clerk until April 1 and to retain him as assistant sec retary at the same salary for the month of February. This the new board refused to do and announced they would make no further conces- sions.
 The old board met with three mem- bers present. Messrs. Parsons, Dun away and Shane. Judge Evans was present at the roll call, making a quo- rum. and he then retired E. C. Par sons was elected temporary chairman of the old board.
 State Auditor Coffman has served notice on several members of the con- tending boards that he would issue no more warrants on account of the state charitable institutions until the pres ent row is settled.
 Governor Hays today will ask leg islative probe of the acts of the old state charities board and of R. w. Ha~t ta. of ha old xI bn has refused to resign. The govern or's action will be in compliance with resolutions adopted by the new board members yesterday
 Following is the resolution adopted by the six members of the new board present at the meeting:
 Resolved by the present board of trustees of the state charitable insti- tutions that we respectfully request and urge the governor to send spe- Icial message to the General Assembly asking that body to appoint a joint committee of both houses to immedi- ately investigate the acts and conduct of the late board of trustees of the state charitable institutions, whose members resigned or were removed by the governor, and the acts and con- duct of R. w. Hart, secretary of the board.
 We believe the public interests de- mand such inquiry and investigation in order that the people may know the truth with reference to the charges made against said board and its sec retaary."
 Another resolution urging the at torney general to press the suit in the Pulaski circuit court in the quo war ranto proceeding ,of Joe Ferguson, secretary of the new board, against R. w. Hart, was adopted.
