How "Johnny Cake" Got Name.

Corn bread coming into its own Is
a repetition of the story of Civil war
days in the confederacy. At that time
the bread situation became acute and
throughout the South the people sup
planted the white flour article with
corn pone, later creating what we to-
day know as corr bread. Southern
soldiers saw very little other bread
during the war. These fighters south
of the Mason and Dixon line were
known to the Yankees as Johnny
Rebs," and when it was learned that
they ate corr bread the federal SOL
diers at once named it Johnny Cake"

driven from the building by the heat.
When Deputy Chief Martin arrived
he sent in second alarm. which brought
Chief kenlon also to the scene For a
time the work Of the firemen was con-
sderably hampered by the after-thea-
ter crowds that swarned to watch the
blaze. Reserves from the West Forty
seventh, Thirticth and Sixty-ei ighth
Street stations finally drove all spec
tators back two blocks from the fire
Adjoining the burning building was

Held in $4,000 Out Formally
Fur Theft Case For Presidency
Ohio Senator Announces
Candidacy forNomination
as Republican Choice:
n" Platform of Own

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. Senator
Harding, of Ohio tonight formally an
nounced his candidacy for the Republi
can Presidential nomination in 1920.
Ihe announcement was made in let
ter TO Clare Hughes. of Pioua. Ohio,
chairman Of the Miami County Re-
publican Committee. authorizing the
use Of the Senator's name IN the sclec-
ton of delegates to the national CON
vention.
Senator Harding is the third Republi-
can Senator to make known his Presi-
Dental aspirations. Senators Poin-
dexter, of Washington. and Johnson, of
California, already have announ ced
their candidates., and a formal boom
for Senator Sutherland, Of West Vir-
glnia, also has been inaugurated.
In his letter Senator Harding said
he had mo personal preference in the
matter but gladly would cooperate in
making effective the manifest wish Of
the Republicans of the state" He
added. however, that he would announce
no platform, as that was the duty of
the national convention The Senator
SAID he would not make personal pre-
convention campaign, because 4. would
necessltate neglect of his Senatorial
duties
Reluctant in Seeking Honor
"A previous communication to our
state organization and many letters to
political friends have expressed my
real reluctance to permit the use Of
my name in this connection" the let
ter said, land it was genuinely sincere
and expressed then my personal and
political preference. do not forget,
however, that my first obligation politi-
cally is to the Republicans Of our
state. who have so generously honored
me"
The Senator added that he realized
the wish of Ohio Republicans to pye-
sent candidate. and that "the for
tunes Of politics" and activities "inci-
dent to official position" had suggested
his name-formal consent for the use
of which. required by Ohio law. would
be written at the proper time.
Expects Outside Aid
"One thing must be stated" he said.
I'VE are all agreed that thing worth
doing at all is worth doing with all
ones might. | could not assent to an
enterprise designed merely to control
OhIo's representation in the national
convention. This undertaking is not
without encouragement beyond the
borders of our state, and we must play
worthy part, assuring our fellow Re
publicsns Of our utter good faith, and
that it is ever our belief that party
success is of first Importance when Re
publican restoration is so vital to the
nation
Il venture to announce now no plat
form nor to emphasize any obvious pol
icy. Men in Congress make record.
which speak for them. Moreover. I
still believe, in party sponsorship, be-
lieve conventions representing all tho
Republicans Of the nation should make
platforms that nominees ought TO be
CHI as exponents of such platforms,
and hold such declaration as inviola bic
covenants to the people,

Presidents Request for
Motor Ride Is Denied
Patient. Rapidly Gainin g
Strength, Sits in Wheel
Chair Outdoors

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Until the
President is much stronger and able
to withstand the exposure that may re-
suit, he will not be taken on motor
ride. though he has requested to be
taken out, it was said to-day at the
White House.
The President told DR.. Cary r.
Grayson, his personal physician, this
morning that he felt sufficiently we'll
to take a short ride. The doctor, how
ever, said he was compelled to refuse
the request. Instead the President was
permitted to remain in his wheel chair
on the south portico from 10 until
$50 o'clock.
DR.. Grayson said his refusal to per-
NIT the President to be taken riding
was based on the fact that the patient
still is weak. although he is daily re-
gaining his strength.
During the day the President signed
a number of papers and gave consider
alton to other executive matters.

Optician Found Dead at

Order an Autopsy

The body OF Dr.. Russell 7. Cockl!n.
an optician. who lived at o7 Fife Street.
Forest Hills, Queens. and had offices
at 81 Fast F'ifty-ninth Street, Manhat
tan, win not be buried until the
stomach has been analyzed, Dr.. Howard
". Neail, deputy medical examiner of
Queens, announced yesterday after the
autopsy.
Dr.. Cocklin disappeared from his
home Saturday night. On Monday his
wife, who had passed Saturday night
in New York, called up his office, think
ing he had gone out of town on a case
and learned that nothing WAS known Of
his wherea bouts.
She then started search. Her hus
bands body was found in the garage
at the rear Of his home. sitting at the
steering wheel of his car The theory
that he was asphyXiatcd by gasoline
fumes has been advanced, but dis
credited by the fact that the door was
ajar and a gas stove was burning in
the garage. Dr.. Neail believes that
sufficient monoxde gas to have caused
the opticians death would have ex-
tinguishcd the stove. 1t is also be
lieved that the automobile was out Of
order and therefore could not have
generated gas
