HAS FIRST LINCOLN
HOLIDAY Petition
WASHINGTON Woman Owns Curious
Document Probably Drawn
Up in 1875.

The first petition ever submitted 10
Congress urging that the birthday an
niversary of Abraham Lincoln be de-
clared a legal holiday is in the pos
session of a Washington woman. The
possessor of this curious old docu-
ment is Mrs. J. c. Jorgensen, widow
of the inventor Of the krag-Jorgen-
sen rifle. She lives at 22S East Cap
itol street.
The petition probably was submit
ted to Congress about 1875. but the
document has a much more ancient
aspect 1t is rather crudely drawn
up. written in ink, and shows numer-
Gus attempts at decorative embellish-
ments. Various portions of the petit
ton are UNDERSIGNED in red ink. The
petition is on thick. stiff paper. pasted
on a blue silk background. with a red
and white border and series OF
white embroidered stars. The docu-
ment is contained in a heavy wooden
frame. The writing is very indis-
tinct. and portions are illegible.
Many of the signers of the docu
ment still are living. Fifty signatures
of persons from fifty different States
are affixed. The Virginia signer was
Charles w. Evans. and Maryland's
signer was Isaac NJ. Schermukair.
The petition reads: Senate and
House of the United States of Amer
ica. For years il has been a custom
of the people and nation TO hold in
near remembrance the memory of him
whose life was devoted to his kind
and his country.
ITO him who proclaimed the Decla-
ration of Independence a living real
ity-eternal remembrance.
ON the twelfth day of February
1909. the soul of Abraham Lincoln
was projected into time.
we. the undersigned, do petition
your honorable assembly OF the Sen
ate and House of Representatives
that YOU appoint the twelfth day of
February a legal holiday that a uni
versal people may rejoice together in
this great gift of God to man"

M ssenrers who were embarking on her
that the United States nag should be
hotsted. presumably to insure their safe
~. Meanwhile. the memoranda from
your excellency had been received. His
maiesty's government did not give any
advice to the company as to how to meet
this request, and It IL understood that
the. Lusitania left Liverpool under the
British flag.
1T seems unnecessary to say more as
regards :he Lusitania in particular.
Use of Flag Permitted.
In regard to the use Of the foreign
flags by merchant vessels. the BRUSH
merchant shipping act makes 1t clear
that the use of the British flag by a
foreign vessel is permitted In time OF
war for the purpose Of escaping capture.
1t Is believed that in the case OF some
other nations there is similar recognition
of the practice with regard to their nag.
and that none OF them has forbidden it.
1T would, therefore, be unreasonable
to expect his majesty's government to
pass legislation forbidding the use of
foreign flags by British merchant vessels
to avoid capture by the enemy. now
that the German government has an
nounced its intention to sink merchant
vessels at sight with their noncombatant
crews. cargoes. and papers-a proceeding
hitherto regarded by the opinion Of the
world. not as war. but piracy
Could Use British Flag.
1T is felt that the United States gov
eminent could not fairly ask the British
government to order the British mer-
chant vessels to forego means always
hitherto permitted Of escaping not only
ca Mt In the much worse fate of
sinking and destruction.
Great Britain has always, when
neutral. accorded to vessels of other
states at war the liberty to use the Brit
ish flag as a means Of protection against
capture. and instances are on record
when United States vessels awaited them
selves of this facility during the Ameri-
can civil war. II would be contrary to
fair expectations. IT, now, when condt-
tions are reversed. the United States and
other neutral nations were to grudGe to
British ships liberty to take similar ac-
ton.
THE British government has no in
tention of advising its merchant ship
ping to use foreign flags as a general
practice, or to resort to them otherwise
than for escaping capture or destruction.
Lay Blame on Germans.
The obligations upon belligerent war
ships to ascertain definitely the nation
atty and character of merchant vessels
before them. or destroying them, has
been universally recognized
If that obligation is fulfilled the hoist
ing of a neutral flag over British ves-
sci cannot possibly endanger neutral
shipping.
THE British government hold. that, II
loss To neutrals is caused by disregard Of
this obligation it is upon the enemy ves-
sci disregardinG it. and upon the govern
ment ordering its disregard that the sole
responsibility for the injury to a neutral
vessel ought to rest"

Fogg's White Leghorns
Montgomery County Boys Chickens
Have a Reputation all over the
Entire Country for their Lay
ing Qualities.

The story Of the successful man
is always interesting and inspiring
TO the ambitious. We are led in
paying this tribute to one of
Montgomery county's most success
full young men in the hope that the
story of his achievements will be
suggestive and helpful in inspiring
other young men of this section to
enter this field Of endeavor.
Mr.. V. V. Fogg a few years ago
believed that the fancy poultry
business could be made a paying
one, after giving considerable
time to studying the various kinds
of chickens he decided to raise
Single Comb White Leghorns and
now Fogg's White Leghorns are
known from coast to coast. In add
dition to selling thousands of baby
chicks each year he has several
contracts with large hospitals and
hotels for furnishing them eggs. He
has several thousand hens and
ships several cases daily.
From u small beginning he now
has one of the best equipped plants
to be found anywhere.
Mr.. Fogg is always glad to see
visitors and is never too busy to
conduct them over his entire farm
and explain the various methods
adopted for the care Of his fowls.
