Capital "Social Lobby" Is Stunned

He came to Washington to prove his
claim and collect it. He set about
making friends and nobody ever es.
sayed 1t more cleverly. Establishing
himself in one of the corner suites Of
the Willard hotel, he kept "open
house" in a manner that won the un-
stinted admiration Of bellhops.
The DeRonde claim passed the sen
ate on January 6, 1922. by vote of
81 to "a. There was pending at the
same time similar claim of the
American Trading company for 50 ,5O0,-
600. Both claims were investigated
by special subcommittee of the house
agricultural committee.
President Harding signed the reso-
luton authorizing payment Of the
American Trading company's claim
but declined to sign the DeRonde res
olution and 1t became law without his
signature. However, Mr.. Harding re-
fused to exercise his authority under 1t.
Instead of ordering payment, the
President has turned the matter over
to the sugar equalization board for
further investigation. The sugar
board, composed of business men of
sound Judgment, must first give ap-
proyal to the claim before the Presi-
dent will be willing to consider pay
ment. The Social lobby Is stunned.

A short time before the outbreak of
the world war Curtis was sent to Ber-
lin as special agent of the depart
the American embassy. After the
United States entered the war he be-
came connected with the American
Red Cross, and until recently was edi-
tor of the National Red Cross Bulle-
tin.
Curtis was a member of the national
Republican central committee, and
was one of President Harding's per-
sonal advisers on the trip He was
regarded as one of the leading polit-
ical writer's of the United States. His
home was in Washington, ID. C.
The trip which terminated with the
fatal accident was one planned for the
eastern correspondents accompanying
President Harding on his trip to Alas
ka, by Denver newspapermcn. The
automobiles containing the Denver and
visiting newspaper men left the Brown
Palace hotel within few hours after
the presidential special arrived in Den
yer.
From Denver the party went to
Golden, and to the top of Lookout
mountain, where the eastern newspa-
Bill. After stopping at Pahaska Te-
pee for lunch, the party started the
return trip to Denver by way of Gen
esee mountain, Bergen park, Ever
green, Bear Greek canon and Morri-
son.
The body of Mr.. Curtis will be
taken to Chicago by John f. Vivian,
federal prohibition director. At Chi
cago, Mr.. Vivian will turn the body
over TO representatives of the G. o. z.
who probably will accompany it to
Washington, ID. c., for burial.
Motorcycle Officers Garnett and
Foster and ratrolman Jack Lindsey,
who were detailed to accompany the
trip of newspapermen, supervised the
rescue of the accident victims, and
later directed the traffic along the
road near the scene of the accident,
preventing jam and thus eliminating
the possibilities of another accident
Eastern newspapermen who were on
the trip commented favorably on the
skill and system displayed by these
officers in their rescue work and in
keeping traffic moving on the crowded
road.
