P. HENRY MISSING;
SWANSON ''HET Up
Virginia Senator Wants to Know
Why Lincoln Took Patrlck's
Place.

Patrick Henry un oils) 10 not be be
banished from bis place in the SEN
ate.
Not II Senator swanson OF Virginia
knows H. Not even TO make way for
a portrait Of Abraham Lincoln.
A few days ago the Henry portrait
was missing from It's accustomed
place In one OF the Senate Iobbies.
The likeness OF Lincoln hung In It's
place. Thereupon Senator Swanson
wrote In firm but courteous words 10
senator Brandesee, chairman OF the
Library Committee. asking about the
substitution.
The Virginian freely admitted that
Apraham Lincoln was great and
noble man. He agreed that any wall
was graced by a portrait OF the
Emancipator, without going into a
discussion OF the comparative person
al beauties OF the statesman whose
portrait had disappeared and the
statesman whose portrait was in It's
place.
But why, he asked. had the likeness
OF a son OF Virginia been hauled
down? Where was IL? Was the
liberty or death slogan in bad with
the committee, or what?
mo man ever rendered our coun-
try more efficient and distinguished
service" wrote Swanson. mo man
ever did more for the cause OF Amer
lean independence than Patrick Hen
ry. and ] cannot acquiesce In any
action that might be construed as
lacking proper recognition OF him and
his services"
Thus were the props" set and the
stage furniture arranged for a new
North -and-Sou drama, when what
does Senator Brandegee do but reply
that Patrick Henry had simply gone
to get his face washed and have a
photograph taken.
THE portrait of Lincoln. recently
acquired" wrote Senator Brandegee.
had been hung temporarily in the
place formerly occupied by the paint
ing OF Patrick Henry, SO that the ar
tist may get good light for the pur-
trait. The portrait of Patrick Henry

perintendent OF the Capitol. and Is be-
ing cleaned and photographed and
Will be rehung in the Senate corridor
as soon as the work upon II has been
finished"
Thus the last hope of a Lincoln
Henry feud on the Senate floor fed
when Senator Brandegee begged to
assure Senator Swanson that II so
much as the changing of tot Of hair
or a little of eyelash were planned
for the Henry portrait, Senator Swan
son would be consulted i'm .nediately.

Photographs OF Pierson, who Is
thought to have been murdered on
yacht, were Identified by residents
at the house where he was a roomer.
Effects in his room made the police
certain that the missing man and the
man found In the bay, with two bull
let wounds In his head, were the same
a collar, bearing the laundry mark
r 4, which was found in his rooms,
tallies In marking and in style with
the one taken from the neck of the
dead man. Though positive that
Identification has been made, Detec-
tives Kelly and Sweeney left Wash
ington at noon. with Nelosco j. Knapp.
a friend OF Pierson. to visit the grave
on the bay shore.
The body is being eXhumed for the
second time, so that Knapp, who in
formed the police OF his belief that
the dead man was his missing friend,
may check up on the identification.
VIII Drag for Revolver.
Charles Donelson. attached to the
Harbor precinct. is accompanying the
police to drag the shallow water near
the shore. IL Is hoped that a clue to
the mysterious death will be found.
The revolver with which the deed was
committed is the principal object
sought.
Frank Theodore Allen, an astrolo.
ger. who knew Pierson well. this
morning told the police Pierson al
ways had been morose and unhappy.
He said that recently Pierson came to
aim and declared his immediate in.
tcntion OF committing suicide. II am
at the end of my rope" he is alleged
to have said.
This suicide threat lends another
touch of mystery to the death. Allen

BILL FOR MOTHERS
Maternity Measure Receives
Support Of Noted Suffragist
At House Hearing.

Pleading for the lives of ,250.0co
babies and $4,000 mothers. who die
annually In child birth. Miss Anne
Martin OF Nevada, first woman can
didate for the United States Senate,
strongly urged the passage OF the
Sheppard-Towner maternity and in
fancy bill at. the joint Congressional
hearings on the measure today.
Through cooperation with the
States, the Federal Government, un-
der the plans OF the maternity bill.
would extend aid and medical atten-
tion to mothers in overcrowded in
dustrisl districts and isolated rural
communities.
VIII Make II Issue.
1t aims first to contribute financial
support in cases where the family in
come Is insufficient to secure rest and
skilled medical and nursing care for
the mother. Furthermore II would
carry on a campaign of maternal and
infant hygiene in order to help cut
down the increasing mortality rate,
especially in the tenement and rural
districts.
Practically every woman's organi-
cooperating with national associa-
tions, is solidly behind the maternity
bill.
Last year our Government spent
S47, 100000 to protect farmers against
avoidahlc losses OF hogs, corn and
cattle" Miss Martin declared. In
the same year, expense to prevent
avoidable losses of mothers and
babies. about S25o,0o We lost 25o,-
900 babies and $4,000 mothers died in
child birth"
Since it's Introduction into Congress,
Miss Martin has ANNOUNCED her in
tention OF making the maternity bill
an issue in her campaign for the Sem
ate.
1T is undoubtedly the most urgent
conservation and reconstruction
measure before the American people
today" Miss Martin declared.
Urges Immediate Action.
"Only by instant action can the
United States advance from its pres
ent shocking position of perhaps the
most backward civilized country of
the world in its neglect OF maternity
and infancy. With this bill adopted
as a principle of government an i'm
portant advance will have been made
toward ending the appalling waste OF
human life and health in this country,
of ability and usefulness destroyed.
Every child will be assured a right
without which all others mentioned in
our charter OF liberty seem little, the
right of health and birth. 1t is a good
bill and should be reported favorably
and passed by this Congress.

ION Tuesday, May T." Allen said
''I sent Pierson to the bank to make
a deposit. ! also gave him a couple
OF dollars. He did not return. The
bank book was returned to me
through the mail.
THAT was the last heard of him
and II was thought he had gone to
Philadelphia"
Identified BY Photo.
The suspicious OF Knapp. who is a
watchman In the Senate, were
aroused. he told the police. when he
read of the finding OF the body OF
man answering Persons descrip-
ton. This morning he told police OF
the Sixth precinct that the picture
Of the dead man resembled Pierson.
Other occupants of the house
where Pierson roomed. among whom
were Melissa c. Hinchman. positive
ly identified the photograph as one
OF Pierson.
Pierson was a man OF limited
means. Police do not understand how
he could have made a trip on a yacnt
down Chesapeake bay. The fact that
the body was not dressed in under
clothing when found has given rise
TO the theory that Pierson was shot
while asleep on a boat in the bay.
Workers at the sawmill near where
the body was found have declared they
heard two shots. The man was shot
twice in the head, and DR.. Talbert
who attended the inquest, declared
that either wound would nave been
fatal.
When found, the mans pockets con.
tanned only S1.3l. This may have
been change from what Allen SAID
he gave Pierson.
Allen told the police that Pierson
was a man OF good habits, end was
a college graduate. Pierson was lot
employed in Washington, but worked
at printing shops at times, the police
were told.
