TOURIST HOTEL IS SOLD.

as Hotel Edwards, has recently been
sold to Messrs. w. B. Blount end r.
A. Morgan, of Florida. The new own
ers of the hotel will take charge April
Is and, after giving the buildings
a thorough overhauling, expect to run
a good, up-to-date hostelry.
Another tobacco warehouse will be
built and made ready for use before
the coming tobacco season sets in
The stockholders met recently and
elected Mr.. ]. M. Powell president and
Walter Phillips secretary and treas
urer of the new company. 1t is to be
a wooden building, S0x170 in size.
Last year was the first that George
tow was made a tobacco market.
The brick warehouse, which handled
the 1919 crop, did surprising busl-
ness, and the new warehouse will fill
a need that was felt last year and
be the means of drawing a still larger
measure of patronage to the George
town market. Mr.. William Thomp-
son, the contractor, is ready with his
plans and will commence work within
few days.
The Georgetown Motor company
has purchased of w. w. Munnerlyn
the four large stores adjoining the
warehouse of the Baltimore and Caro-
lima Steamship company, on front
street, also owned by him, and will
shortly convert these buildings into
garage and offices.

CONDEMNS HOOVER MOVE
Gerard Says Danger Lies in Success
of Republicans.

New York, April 10.-The recent
movement in favor of Herbert Hoover
for president was "a protest against
party control, not declaration that in
all the broad United States Herbert
Hoover was the only man fit to be our
president" declared James W. Gerard
in an address here tonight. at the JEFF
ferson Day dinner of the National
Democratic club.
"At the Jackson Day dinner in
Washington 1 advocated the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Hoover by the Democratic
party" Mr.. Girard said. "That was
when I and other admirers Of Hoover
saw him a man who had done good
service, who seemed independent and
could afford to wait the offer of a
nomination.
"But a Herbert Hoover partisan,
asking only the Republican nomination
standing hat in hand before the House
when the forces of reaction are In
counsel, is quite another Hoover. 1t
is a Mahomet going supplicant to
the mountain; not mountain offering
the nomination to an Independent.
And because the Republican party is
the party of reaction there lies dan
ger in its success"

CHARGES AGAINST
CREEL AND OTHERS
Disposed of Bulletin by Secret Con-
nivance and Numerous Abuses
Claimed.

It is announced from Washington
that legal proceedings by the govern
ment against George Creel, former
chairman of the committee of public
information; Roger w. Babson of
Wellesley Hills, Mass, and others con-
cerned in the transfer of the commit
tees war publication, the Official Bull
letin, to Babson, are recommended in
a report made public last week by Sem
ator Smoot, Republican, Utah, chair
man; and representative Kiess, Re-
publican, vice chairman of the joint
Congressional printing committee.
Numerous abuses in the government
publications including army and navy
and other war service journals are
charged in the report. Many Of these
publications, it says, are favorable to
the league of nations, the liquor in
terests and officers in charge. Adver-
tisements, the report asserts, included
"get rich quick" oil speculations and
political propaganda in government
publications.
Printed 30,144,362 Speeches.
Another alleged abuse of govern
ment funds charged by the report was
printing of 30,144,362 speeches. Pa
per consumed totaled ,451 900 pounds
As members of Congress must pay
for their speeches, the report says, the
"gross abuse" from the free printing
of other federal officials speeches
should stop.
The report says that the committee
under its power to supervise govern
ment printing investigating 266 jour.
nails, magazines and periodicals anc
discontinue Ill at saving Of 81 ,200,.
900 annually.
Eight army and navy newspapers
and magazines were suppressed at
saving of 100000.
"This has been DONE" the repor,
states, without a single protest from
any man in the ranks, chiefly in whose
! interests it had been urged the pub
LEGATIONS were printed. The objections
, to discontinue came directly from high
ranking officers.
