A severe criticism Of the Federal

MATTRESS SAYS
HARDING EATS
T00LITTLE
Comnends His Table Manners,
But Believes Golf Cuts
His Meals.

AUGUSTA. Ca. April 1O.-How q
President looks to waitress has
just been revealed by Grace Hudson.
OF New York, who served his table
at the Bonair Vanderbilt Hotel here.
Her estimate is summed UP in the
statement that Mr.. Harding is a
sadly light eater for SO big a man;
that his table manners are exquisite.
and that he does not give proper
attention to the small amount he
does eat, because he is always in 80
much of a hurry to get away to
play golf.
"He really doesn't eat anything"
she said. Every noon he has q
bowl of bread and mi1k-haf and
half-and nothing else. At night he
eats little turkey, some potatoes,
always a very light meal, and has
no dessert. That made 1t a lot
easier for me to wait on him.
HE never bothers with a finger
bowl. He has no time for that, be-
cause he seemed anxious to get away
for a game of golf. He never came
down for breakfast. He and Mrs.
Harding had that in their room.
1.-THE President was always very
gallant with the women. He talked
very little. l thought he seemed to
be a very nice man, and that as for
being President. it didn't mean q
thing to him."

GILMAN 8 DEATH
PROBED BY
KHAN
Kent w. Ogden Is Alleged to
Have Killed Self in Fear of
w. Va. Ku KIux.
INTERNATIONAL MEWs REL
BY international News Service.

CLARKSBURG, w. Va, April 10
The mystery surrounding the
death of Kent w. Ogden, forty,
wealthy Wallace, w. Va, oil pro-
Queer, was being thoroughly inves-
tigated today under the direction OF
the Clarksburg Ku Klux Khan.
Ogden's lifeless body, with a bull
let through the heart, was found
last Tuesday on an improvised. bed
of boards in an oil we'll derrick on
his farm.
County authorities are said to
take the view that Ogden COM
mitted suicide. Notes left by him
just before his death stated he
withdrew from the Wallace khan
after it had planned certain activi-
ties which he believed were against
the law and after he is said to have
warned it to disband under penalty
of having these activities revealed.
About two months ago. Ogden is
said to have warned those whom
he believed were slated for khan
punishment. Then he quit the
khan. Worry and fear over the stu
alton prompted him to kill himself,
according to his family.
The Clarksburg khan Is not so
convinced it was suicide. The khan,
through it's executive chairman, H.
l.. Barham, prominent grain broker,
has offered a cash reward of $500
for information leading to the APP
prehension of Ogden's slayers.
Notes left by Ogden said the khan
had planned to take two prominent
citizens out and give them beat
ing.

remove the deposit. At other points
new sewers must shortly be con-
structed. Advantage may be taken
system along the most advanced
designs, which will include a separa.
ton of drainage, resulting in pre-
serving the valuable domestic
waste. Engineers who have studied
the situation declare that with a
modern sewerage system retaining
sewerage waste in operation in
Washington the latter would pay a
handsome dividend on the invest
ment.
Proper sanitation is accepted as
essential to the health of city.
A survey of Congressional appropria-
tons for sewerage maintenance in
Washington seemingly indicates a
disregard of this by the committees
charged with making the necessary
appropriation. q
Forced by the showing Of the
District Sanitary Engineers office
the past Congress proved little
more liberal than others who in
sisted on the sewer maintenance
appropriation remaining year after
year what 1t had been for approx
mately ten years. The appropria.
ton for the current year 1923-24
The amount asked for was 1886. 900.
Valuable Property Recovered.
That valuable property is oc-
casionaIly recovered from sewers
was learned today at the Sanitary
Engineers office. It is generally
found in the street catch drains by.
workmen cleaning them out Gold
watches. revolvers, rings, society
pins and buttons, pocketbooks and
parcels are listed among the re-
covered articles. Generally when
a piece of jewelry is lost, and its
owner believes it has been carried
into the sewer, the department is
notified and representative is
sent to recover it.
"On one occasion, however" said
j. B. Gordon, Sanitary Engineer of
the District, "I saw gold watch
go down a sewer which we were
unable to locate in the catch basin.
Why it did not sink / do not
know"
According to the police. valuable
property found in sewer. basins is
turned over to them and an effort
is made to locate. the owner. AT
present the stock of lost articles in
the possession OF the police does
not contain a single article regained
from the sewer
Until other disposition is arranged
the "sludge" taken from the sedi-
ment basin at the pumping station
will be used to fill in between the
Anacosta bridge and the PennsyI-
vahia avenue bridge on the district
side of the river.
