INTENDED AS MEMORIAL

Mrs. John 3. Henderson. widow of
the late Senator Henderson of Mis-
souri,, has offered to the United States
government as an official home for its
Vice President the imposing white
stone residence at the northeast cor
ner of 18th and Fuller streets, near

as a memorial to her husband and
to her son, John Brooks Henderson.
I'd, scientist, who died recently.
Ia letter to Senator Francis E
Warren of Wyoming Mrs. Henderson
explains her offer as follows:
Il am feeling that the usefulness of
the Vice President for better estab-
fishing and understanding an entente
cordiale between the President and
Congress. also for the more intima tie
entertainment of foreigners who will
meet here oftener than ever before
for the making of international
treaties, will be facilitated by the use
of private residence commensurate te
with the dignity and Importance of
such possible service; also that a rea-
sonable maintenance fund for such
service secured by Congress will be
considered of public benefit"
~
The late Senator Henderson served
eight years during and after the
civil war. AS second on the commit
tee of finance he, along with Senator
Sherman, was principal factor in
conducting national finance during
that period. AS chairman of Indian
affairs he visited the various Indian
tribes and made treaties, which have
proved efficient to the present day.
He also was an adviser to the COM
mittee on foreign affairs and served
on the District of Columbia commit
tee, thus beginning an active inter-
est in the civic affairs of Washing
ton that never ceased during his
life. AS a senator from a bord er
state he became a frequent adviser to
President Lincoln.

subjects.
Visited by Omcials.
The residence which Mrs. Hender-
son would turn over to the govern
ment is one of the showplaces of
upper 18th street. When originally
projected many months ago it was
announced that 1T was designed to
serve as an embassy. From time to
time since it took shape there have
been rumorS that officials were con
sidering it as a possible little White
House for housing the Vice President
OF the United States. It was said that
officials visited it at the time OF
agitation for providing a home for
the Vice President, but no Legislative
action resulted.
The structure could not be dupli-
Gated for under 100000 or $500, 900
it is said. The first floor comprises q
large entrance hall and courtroom
library, dining room, large salon or
ballroom and winter garden" into
which both the library and dining
room look. The second and third
floors afford ample bed chamber faciI
tiles and servants quarters. There
is a garden in the rear, and a garage

PARIS, January 25-The French

the Ruhr district has failed.
The French parliament buzzes with
criticism of Premier Poincare for not
having taken stronger measures
provoked by German resistance and
spurred by parliamentary criticism,
the government therefore is planning
within few days to cut off the Ruhr
area and probably also the Rhineland
from the rest of Germany, expelling
the Prussian officials, taking over the
entire administration, establishing a
new currency and stopping all ship
ments of whatever nature to unoccu-
pied Germany except as may be 9TH

Public opinion, after a few days of
nervousness, is now growing f1rmer.
1t is now considered that everything
which has happened in Germany in
the last fortnight merely tends to
prove that Germany was only biding
her time to resume the war against
france, with the assistance of a
reconstructed Russia, and that there

now once for all without waiting for
Germany and Russia to recover their
strength.
