pected to speak on this subject in
the course of his address. He was

sioner, police commissioner, and
general manager Of the municipal
railways in Detroit, holding the lat
ter office after he had won the
city's twenty-five-year fight as
mayor to establish municipal own
ership. Since coming to the Senate
he has been studying the national
railroad problem. and his address
on this subject in Philadelphia last
week has aroused unusual interest
and comment.
Since retiring from the Ford Mo-
tor Company in 1918 at the age Of

lie affairs. He served for q term

source of his supplies, resulting in a
visit to the State Department yester-
day by the legation charge, DIR. Arturo
Padroy Almeida. the police said they
had been promised further information

ment issued after his visit TO the State

him out to the Country Club for a ban

for the keys of the city they would

For 80 years the poem has passed for
history. But a week ago come Johns
Hopkins students, notes in Frederick's
eye. fresh from a coma of research and
said Whittier could get space in the
magazines as n versifier. but as a his

She is no longer concerned with con

publicly with no regard for Frederick s
sensitive feelings that the John Green
