NOlSt statement 1OIOWS-
II am, of course. deeply gratified at
the decision of the United States Golf
Association declaring me eligible to
play in the national amateur cham
pionship and also finding me not guilty
of any action detrimental to the best
interests of golf. It has been the
height of my ambition to qualify in
a national amateur event and 1 had
in my game I would be able this year
to fulfill that ambition.
Il shall certainly do my best at
Minneapolis to reflect credit on the
District in every way and If l am
fortunate enough to qualify, ! will
endeavor to climb as far up the
ladder in my match play rounds as
it may be possible for me to get.

never feared the outcome, provided
that it was conducted by a fair and
impartial body like the United States
Golf Association. which would not
be influenced by local jealousies and
personal considerations. | felt from
the very beginning that my case was
handicapped here by prejudice and
in which the local investigation was
handled demonstrates this fact.

evidence of the most unsubStantial
character was accepted without any
opportunity being afforded me to
confront face to face the witnesses
who brought their stories to the COM
mittee. In. addition to this, many of
the findings of the eligibility COM
mittee you'd have been shown to
have been without foundation if an
effort to learn the truth had been
made.
However, 1 feel that the vindica-
ton given me by the United States
Golf Association, after an exhaus-
tive and fair inquiry by one of it's
officials, is sufficient answer to the
attempt to discredit me.

Justice Mccoy Adds
Fame to Coolidge -,
Choose Line

President Coolidge's famous
phrase: II do not choose" today
gathered additional glory, when 1t
was officially adopted by the
Chief Justice OF the District
Supreme Court.
Women jurors subpoened to
serve on the jury are permitted
to inform the court that they do
not care TO serve. They must,
however, appear in court and
make their intentions known.
Chief Justice Mccoy today ruled
that instead of making a verbal
statement that they do not want
to serve, ordered that each woman
juror must indorse the subpoena
served on her in this manner:
l do not choose to serve.
Those are famous words" the.

Members Of the public order COM

of Trade are comforting today with
the originator of the famed New
York Baumes Law, with view o.
determining whether or not they
will sponsor a law OF that sort

NAVY YARD PAY.
RAISE URGED

Despite steady increases in the
cost of living, various higher groups
of the clerical employees of navy
yards have suffered reduction in pay
since the World War, Luther G..
Steward, president of the National
Federation of Federal Employees,
told the Naval Departmental Board
of Review today.
Appealing for an average IS per
scales, Steward told the board that
the civilian employees of the navy
yards, including the Washington
yard, had become demoralized
through the failure of the Navy De-
partment 10 recognize their needs.
Inasmuch as the Navy estimates
already have been placed before the
Budget Bureau. Steward requested
the board to recommend to Secre-
tary Wilbur a supplemental esti-
mate which will provide for the re-
quired salary increases.
Following Stewards presentation
of the case, Harry J. Harris Of the
Philadelphia Navy Yard, made a de-
tailed statement of the wages being
paid to the clerical. chemical, in
spection and miscellaneous groups
of employees, all of whom are listed
as members of the field service"
under the Federal classification act
and have not yet had their salaries
properly allocated.
The wage case of the machinists
and other mechanical groups of the
navy yards will be placed before the
board of review tomorrow. The
board is not expected to make public
its Communications for several
weeks.

NATION s THIRD
WHITE HOUSE

Few adults there are who have
not heard the old phrase that Pro
violence protects idiots. drunkards
and the United States but few
know its origin.
That phrase had It's origin In a
one time temporary White House
in Washoington and that old house
is still standing and in use.
1t is located at the Northwest
corner of Nineteenth street and
Pennsylvania Avenue, n. w. A
drug store now uses the building.
In another era. the same build
ing was used for conferences by
American diplomats and political
leaders who sought to cure the
wounds left from the rupture in
1872 with England.
In 1914. when the old White
House was destroyed by the
British soldiers, President James
Madison and his famous wife
Dolly" Madison moved to the
corner house One of the few ar
ticIes saved by Mrs. Madison was
A painting of George Washington.
While occupants of the temporary
White House the Madisons used
the banquet table as a diplomatic
weapon and diplomats Of other
nations settled many important
affairs of state over the banquet
board there.
At one OF these banquets, the
destiny of the United States, hapi-
tual drunkenness on the part Of
some of the country's leaders and
other subjects came up for dis
cussion.
During the course of the dis.
cussion Able Correa, minister from
Portugal made the famous state
ment quoted above. He had already
become famed for referring to
Washington as the City Of Magni-
cent Distances"
Prior to taking up residence at
Nineteenth and the Avenue, the
Madisons used the Octagon House.
but it did not seem to adapt itself
to their plans, so the change was
made.
Dolly" Madison was the reigning
queen" of the era and her pretty
face and quick wit was ever at
work for her country during the
troublous times the Government
went through. ~.
