DENIES FULTON FIRST
STEAMBOAT INVENTOR
Gaillard Hunt Says Thornton and
Fitch Should Have
Had Credit.

Credit for the invention of the first
steamboat should have gone to Will
liam Thornton, a member of the first
commission for laying out the Dis
trict of Columbia, and John Fitch,
his partner in the invention project,
asserted Gaillard Hunt in an address
before the Washington Study at the
H ghlands Apartments yesterday.
1t was through plans made in Paris
that the credit for the invention of
the first steamboat went to Fulton
instead of Fitch and Thornton, he
declared.
Mr.. Hunt described the early in
flucnce of the Republic of the West
Indies on many cities in the United
States. He told of Thornton's early
life in Tortola, one of the Virgin
islands.
1t was Thornton's idea to colonize
the negroes who had been imported
into this country. He planned to
colonize a few at time and become
the president of the new negro re-
public thus formed, he asserted.
This Mr.. Hunt. pointed out, would
try than to have all of the slaves
ser free at one time, as was done
following the emancipation procla-
nation.
He gave Thornton credit fol being
the father of classical architecture
in the United States and the oriSi7
nator OF much of the early cultural
activity OF Washington. His big
gest work of architecture was eX.
empIified in the classical form of
the Capitol and the design of the
"Octagon House. he said.

Johnson FORCES
BEGIN OHIO WORK
State Senator Bender Admits
Move to Enter Primary
Election.
s,ac;a, Disnatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, November IL
Senator George H. Bender of Cleve-
land, who made inquiry at the office
of Secretary of State Thad E. Brown
yesterday as to methods for entering
names of candidates under the Ohio
presidential preference primary law
admits he was acting in the interest
of Senator Hiram Johnson of Cali
fornia, and that it was expected to
enter his name as candidate for
delegate in Ohio. This does not
mean, however, that there has been
a break in the republican organiza-
ton support of President Coolidge.
Bender has not in the recent past
co-operated with the regular repub-
lican state organization, and was the
state chairman of Senator j. f.
Burkes' movement two years ago to
break down the administration of
former Gov. Harry L. Davis, which
failed. Republican leaders here ex-
pect that the Johnson movement will
have the support of certain Ohio re-
publicans like former Representative
Charles L. Knight, who has been out
of line with his party for several
years, but none of them believe it at
all likely that any Johnson dele
gates will be chosen in this state.

Senator to Have Virginia

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND. Va, November IT,
Right now there is no man in the
race for the democratic nomination
for President save Senator Carter
Glass. the junior senator. The Vir-
ginia delegation is his, and it is pos
sible that he may be able to have a
powerful influence in saying which
way it shall go in case the nominal
ton does not come his way. Who
viii he support? That is the question
right now. He is believed to be on
very good terms with all who have
been mentioned in connection with
the honor. There is good reason to
believe that when the delegates are
named in the state convention that
they Will be directed TO vote as unit
at all times. Right here arises a nice
question, whethe- Senator Glass will
serve as delegate in case he is
nlaced in the list of the possibilities?
He Will have the right to name his
alternate. or the delegation may cast
IL certain-until Senator Glass gives
the word to the contrary he will have
the solid delegation with him.
On the republican side there is alb
solute and complete quiet, which
means that even the kickers against
keep quiet. They have not made any
statement since the appointment of
Mr.. Slemp as private secretary to the
President. and it is plain that the

Sibly more. than making objection to
the presence OF Mr.. Slemp at the ear
Of the President, and 1t may be that
sooner or later some of the old timers
viii be placated. The supporters of
the President are moving along in a
complacent. satisfied way, realizing
that there is NO occasion to worry and
they have the right to name all the
delegates to the next convention, and
viii see to 1t that the faithful are
designated to discharge. pleasant
