What Going On In the National
Capital In Political and Other
Circles There

WASHINGTON, March 2S. - 1t
was the day Of the big wind, follow
ing the day on which Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty announced that
President Harding would be the Re-
publican candidate for president in
1924.
A 60-mile gale was sweeping
obiquely across the Potomac,
churning the water into mad waves
and dashing spray high over the
sea-wall. along Potomac Park.
Out on Long Bridge, where the
gale was felt with greatest force a
big limousine pulled into the curb.
Two women and man occupied the
and looked out at the tossing wa
tiers. A smile of unmistakable en-
joyment spread over his lined face
as the clustering wind shTieked and
howled through the steel trussing of
the bridge and piled the waters
against the abutments in mad fury.
The sense of conflict and battle in
the screaming gale seemed to fill
some pent-up longing for action
that long had gone unappeased.
The impression the picture left
was that nothing on earth would
please Woodrow Wilson more than
to test his strength again in one
last desperate battle For the man
in the limousine was the former
president.
We'd like to know why he chose
such day for a pleasure drive.
Also, what the wild waves said to
him.
The telephone bell in the office of
Chief William j. Burns tangled an
grily.
Hello" said an irate voice as
Burns picked up. the receiver.
Hello. Sthis the Department of
Justice?"
Eyes. Bureau of Investigation,
Department of Justice" Burns said
in his best politico-detecto manner.
you make the Investigations in
cases of profiteering?"
yes"
We'll, I've been profiteered on.
| want you to investigate and see
that l get justice"
Just what is the cause?" purred
Burns, reaching with his free hand
for memo pad and pencil.
Il just got breakfast out at the
- restaurant on 14th street. l or
dered half a dozen medium boiled
eggs. And they had the nerve to
charge me rs cent for 'em. Yessir,

That isn't profiteering, I'd like to
