FAIL TO PASS
POSTAL SALARY
VETOED BILL
Coolidge Veto Is Upheld in
The Senate by Margin
of One Vote

Washington, Jan. 7.-President
Coolidge's veto of the postal pay in
crease bill was sustained late yes
terday in the senate by the margin Of
a single vote.
Twenty inc senators supported
the executive while 55--one less than
the necessary two-thirds majority
to enact the bill over the veto-op-
posed him.
With this action by the senate, the
pay measure, passed at the last ses-
sion, 73 to 3. died automatically. In
it's place will be brought forward the
administration combination pay and
postal rate increase bill, but leaders
generally are agreed that this mea-
sure has small chance of enactment
at this session.
Republicans Split
Republican ranks split wide open
on the issue of sustaining the presi-
dent Opposing him were such lead
els as Jones of Washington, party
whip; Wadsworth of New York;
Reed of Pennsylvania; Moses of New
VI oiSSobS o'N
Edge Of New Jersey. Only one of the
"a Democrats voting cast his ballot
for the veto. He was Dial of South
Carolina, but it was announced that
Senators King Of Utah and Owen of
Oklahoma who were paired, would
have so voted had they been able to
cast their ballots.
Of the six senator's defeated for re-
election, five-Ball, Bursum, Dial,
Mccormick and Sterling-vo voted to
sustain the veto. The sixth, Shields
of Tennessee was absent and not
paired Two of the new senators,
Butler, Massachusetts and Metcalf Of
Rhode Island supported the exc cutive
while Means, Colorado, opposed him.
Two of the senators who voted yes
terday to commit the pay bill voted
today to pass it over executive dis
approval. They were Moses of New
Hampshire, who reported the pending
pay and rate increase measure, and
Shortridge, of California.
Charge New Bill Is Screen
In the three hours of debate that
preceded the vote today, charges that
the administration measure was a
smoke screen to defeat the vetoed
pay bill were renewed and were Wig
orously denied by Chairman Sterling
of the postoffice committee who de-
clared the proposal had been brought
forward in good faith and would be
| pressed vigorously.
The South Dakota senator also
! took issue with those members who
! predicted that the administration
| bill could not be enacted at this SEES
sion. He declared there would be nc
difficulty in getting it through if sen
ators arguing to override the veto
would show as much zeal in support.

unusually long. The frame is heavier
and has one more cross member. The
motor has crankshaft 25 percent
heavier, with larger bearings, and
lighter pistons. Valves are covered
and the carburetor raised. These
changes in the motor have given even
more power than before, and greater
ease in throttling to slow speeds.
Brakes are more powerful. Bodies
are larger and more luxurious with
genuine Duco finish. Closed models
all have Fisher bodies with the new
w windshield and automatic wiper,
balloon tires and disc wheels.
Chevrolet announced last fall to
their dealers that they were going to
make change in their cars that
would be so comprehensive as to
completely eliminate competition. 1t
is evident after viewing the new mo-
dels in Bismarck, that they have
made every effort to substantiate this
claim

on. That way there won't be no fare
well night
Early the next morning, before the
sun rose clear in a white east the
two went three times from the little
house carrying light bundles: cas-
seroles and tins were left here and
there: and a store of food-roasts,
macaroni, coffee cake-at old lame Mis-
Bardwell's and blind Mis- Walkers S
and sick Mis- Weber's door. Toward
s o'clock the two climbed the stair
way to Ben Tilson's rooms
We wanted to know if we could
go-where were goin'-now," said
Liz Fred. "On the 8:45."
"Now?' said Ben. This morning."
Quick to sense that this was a mo-
ment which had better be taken ad-
vantage of, Ben said that he thought
it could be arranged-and arranged
it. He did not question them.
Couldn't-couldn't our things be
sent after us?" Liz Fred said low.
IF they're ready, might as well
stop for 'em now" said Ben oblivi-
ously.
So the two sat in the car before the
white house while Ben and the driver
brought out the shabby old valises. AS
he turned from the locking of the door,
something in the aspect of the two
still figures in the car smote him with
unwonted urgency.

each other. In that hour they seemed
to have grown very old.
What we goin' to do?" said Liz
Henry at last.
Liz Fred threw up her head. DO?
Why should we do anything?'
But the baby
THE baby'll find a home some
where else"
But Miss Marcia-she'd like to
keep it"
She'll have one of her own"
But. Liz Fred
Don't Liz Fred me, I got a
home. l don't have to be on the
county / got a place to stay the
rest of my days Do you think I'm
going to be fool enough to give it
up?"
At this Liz Henry began to cry
her terrible owl-like quavers
Nor me. Oh. l dunno what to do
either!' she walled.
We'll, 1 do" said Liz Fred. I'm
going to stay right straight here
She hurried upstairs to her room.
Liz Henry rose and locked the door
and blew out the lamp. Then she
sat down by the cooking stove. In
the room above she could hear her
sisters chair rock on a board by the
kitchen stovepipe which heated her
room The stovepipe holes showed
no light-Liz Fred too. was sitting
in the dark.

way.
We'll, ma'am. whenever we've
passed Merryman he has eyed this
car with an envy you'd never think of
a rich man"
Yes, James, I've noticed him."
And one day l met him alone, and
he asked me the price of it,
Indeed, And what did you tell
him ?"
Il told him I didn't know, though 1
did"
stop here. James We shall wait
for him to come up"
Merryman cantered up and stopped.
Anything the matter? Can l render
any assistance?" he asked.
Il really would like to talk with
Would you mind coming back with
us?"
Not at all, In fact, should be
delighted. But we haven't been very
neighborly, you know. Why not
keep right on to my placer"
Constance thought moment.
why, yes. Why not? We haven't
been very neighborly!"
So Merryman turned about and can
tered alongside to his stately seat.
You can wait a few minutes,
James. 1 shall not be long" said
Constance Merryman had dismount-
ed and handed his horse over to
groom who had seen the return,
helped her out with courtly grace and
walked with her up a broad avenue.
They were admitted by a butler
who had the benign face of a bishop
meditating on the beatitudes. In
cozy room giving on the drawing
room Constance had hardly seated
herself when a man servant glided
in and with the eXactitude of an
automaton set before them cakes and
tea that must have been produced by
magic.
Constance told Merryman Of things
which were perfectly plain to him.
She had wanted so much, she said, to
keep her dear car, but James was
about to attach it for wages, and now
she would like to dispose of IT to
some gentleman who knew its real
value. And then she cried gently.
Merryman was both susceptible and
sympathetic. He was a widower.
James tells me he has noticed that
you have always looked at the car as
though you wanted it," said Con-
stance with half a sob.
MY dear young woman" replied
Merryman, taking her hand, II have
had an idea all along that you loved
that car. Really you should keep It,"
But /, also, have noted that you
regarded the car with longing ex-
preston" She sobbed again. DIDN'T

i uratively speaking, consume
much more quickly than Reggie
burned his candle.
Before he had time to realize much
of anything but initial good fortune,
a honeymoon and something charac-
teristic of amusement" on the side,
Reggie was dead. The life picture he
painted was all foreground. confused
by glaring colors and high lights.
He never even dreamed what per-
spective means.
After the obseQuies, as his mum
dane affairs were being adjusted,
Constance, his charming widow
charming in spite OF the life he had
led her, for vital youth was hers
found that she would probably be
left little or nothing. But lacking
forethought, she did not worry. Their
fine country place was legally in the
hands of mortgages, though she was
permitted to stay on for time. But
| residence there was distasteful be-
cause creditors or their representa-
tives were intruding to make inven-
tories related to their claims. Reg
gle had roved in a Rolls-Royce mo-
tor, with which Constance was abso-
lutely in love; and this she wished.
If possible, to keep for her very own
or, If she could not keep it, to sell
it for a stunning price. She did not
even worry about maintenance of
such a luxury if she should be fortu-
nate enough to keep 1t.
"pll ask James about It," she said
| to herself one morning as she waited
for him to drive her out. James was
her chauffeur.
Thrilled by the speed James nego-
tiated with skill as they struck the
smooth, broad boulevard, Constance
gained courage. You must have no.

that I am losing almost everything l

Yes, ma am" was James reply.
But one thing l hope to retain in

James slowed down and turned to
observe her. But you know, ma'am,
! I've got to have my wages-six
| months nova tidy sum, maam."
| "Of coursei You can get your
wages out of something on the place.
| File a lien, believe, or something"
"Thank you. ma'am, I'm going to.
j And I was thinking, ma'am, of leav-
ing when my month is up-Saturday
week thatll be-"
"Oh, well! Then shall have to get
another chauffeur. And I'm SO fond
| of you, James! It's too bad!'
James was uneasy. But, ma'am,
I've decided to lay a claim on this
cart"
Constance tainted. In fact she
crumpled almost out of sight in the
| tonneau James, alarmed, stopped,
and finding an emergency bottle in a
secret place-Reggies idea, by the
! way-brought her to.
ooh, James. James! How could
you do it?''
But some one else would claim

| There may be some way out of 1t.
You know Merryman, the rich old

rose out of the distance.

In the Rambler's mail this morning
was a letter from DR.. Henry Angus
tine Johnson. 1213 Lamont street. IT
is long letter concerning Wakefield
and the Rambler hands you this part
of it:
1T may be stated that there is a
number of persons residing in Wash
ington who claim relationship to Gen.
Washington, some of whom 1 have
met, while there are others ] have
never had the pleasure of meeting.
Some of the persons referred to are
descendants of Col. Fielding Lewis,
who married Elizabeth Washington.
only sister of GenA Washington. 1t
would seem desira BILE and proper that
the Rambler ascertain who these per-
sons are residing in Washington,
claiming relationship to Gen. George
Washington, their place of residence,
and statment from each as to their
relationship to Gen. Washington.
Such information obtained and pub
lished in The Star newspaper, would,
l am sure, be gratefully appreciated by
such persons and enable them to meet,
become fully acquainted and form an
association of the relatives of Gen.
George Washington residing in and
adjacent to the City of Washington.
AS a subscriber to The Evening and
The Sunday Star for 55 years l would
feel under great obligation to the
editor and owners of the paper If they
would obtain this desirab BILE informa-
ton.
with regards to my own relation
ship to Gen George Washington, l
would state that William Augustine
Washington, oldest nephew of George
Washington and recipient of one of
the five swords bequeathed to his
nephews, was my maternal great
grandfather, who married his cousin,
Jane Washington, daughter of John
A. Washington, brother of George
Washington, she being my maternal
great-grandmother. My maternal
grandfather, Bushrod Washington, jr.,
son of William Augustine Washing
ton, married his cousin, Elizabeth
Spottswood, who was the grand niece
of Gen. George Washington. My
mother, Ann Eliza Washington, old
est daughter of Bushrod Washing ton,
Jfr great STdNQHleCe OIL OeH. w ASH
ington, married my father, Rev.
William P. c. Johnson of Mount
Zephyr, part of the Mount Vernon
estate given to my grandfather, Bush
rod Washington, jr, by his uncle
Bushrod Washington, and upon which
estate my brothers and sisters were
born, I being born at Leonardtown,
Nd, during the time my father was
rector of the Episcopal church there" ="
The letter Of DR.. Henry A. John
son contains information that his
father. Rev. William p. C. Johnson, was
rector of Pohick Church, and repaired
1t with contributions from President
Van Buren,, John Q. Adams, Daniel
Webster, Francis Scott Key, and
many persons of Washington and
Virginia. He has the book with the
autographs of contributors and sums
contributed. He tells that he has a

by Lafayette and q wax impression
of the seal with which Washington
signed the death warrant Of Maj.
