WASHINGTON Letter
BY HERBERT C. PLUMsIER

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Representative David
Hogg Of Indiana believes that in his district is a site
of national historical significance that has been neg
|lected too long. He wants congress to do something
about it.
The site is the grave Of one Samuel Wilson in a
cemetery in the town Of Merriam. This Samuel Will
son, says Mr.. Hogs, Is the man by whose %sohriquet,
Uncle SAM" the United States Of American is pop
ularly designated.
Ee has introduced q bill authorizing an appro-
priation Of $25y 900 to erect a suitable memorial.
Mr.. Hogg knows a lot about the history of Sam
Wilson and how his ~sobriquet was applied to desig-
nate the United States.
Samuel Wilson was a quartermaster in the gov
eminent commissary at Troy, n. T., during the war
Of 1912. His commissary was located in the store Of
Gilbert Anderson.
As each government assignment came to him he
would inspect it and place the mark "E A U s. on
the packages. They would then be taken to the docks
for shipment.

Division Of Motor Fees Proposed

Senator Edgar E. Witt Of McLennan county has
let it be known that in the making Of the motor
vehicle registration fees bill would insist that the
bill return to the counties all up to $10o,o 900 collected
in each county and amounts above that to go to
the state highway fund.
He admits that some Of the larger counties may
oppose his proposition. but insists that the answer is
they have far larger taxable values than the smaller
counties and the is cent road and bridge fund pro-
yides more money than they ever spend on their
lateral roads.
Senator's from the larger counties are invited to
read and digest this indictment passed on to them
by the senator from McLennan.
THE larger counties are more interested in build
ing the system OF cardinal or connected highways over
the state, even though the construction be through
the small counties for such roads furnished the chan
nels of trade for the larger counties" Is highway
building q trade getting proposition?

UNCLE SAM

One day a new wharf hand asked q longShoreman
the meaning Of the mark. He was told it meant that
the consignment had been approved by Uncle Sam"
and came from the store owned by Ebert Anderson.
The story was told UP and down the river, and in
time everything that pertained to the United States
was peculiarly designated Uncle Sam" And the title
has lived to this day. There are, Of course. other
theories.
American citizen. representative OF American ideals,
and a staunch defender Of American principles. He
accompanied Lewis and Clark on their expedition in
18O4-O5. He was cited for gallantry for his part as
a ouarter-gunner on the United States ship Consti-
tuition in her historic battle with the British vessel
Guerrero in 1912.
LIVED TO 100
In civil life he was both a tailor and a doctor. He
was 100 years and three days old at the time Of his
death, having been born just two weeks after the
first shot was fired for American independence. He
died May 7. 1875.
Uncle Sam" was the father Of three daughters
and seven sons. Six Of the sons served in the forces
of the United States during the Civil war.
The Uncle Sam" memorial is not the only mon
urnent that Representative Hogg is trying to get from
congress. Mad" Anthony Wayne, a hero of the rev.
olution, holds a strong appeal for the Hoosier, and
he has taken up the cudgel in his behalf.
He wants a memorial to General Wayne erected
on the site Of old Fort Wayne, at Fort Wayne, Ind.
He would have congress be more liberal with Mad"
Anthony than with uncle Sam" No less than $780,
600 would be appropriated for this marker.

originally erected as a munitions fac

lower portion had been rebuilt into a
garage and a number of shops. The

had acquired it. The two upper floors
had been occupied by tenants, IS per

was reconverted. though it never
seemed to be used, and the fats had
never been let. Probably exhorbitant
rents were the explanation. The syn

1t was no easier to rent space in the

sheets in the District, 1t was learned
today.
Rothschild said that a number OF
so-called Financial bulletins" were
being circulated through the city and
that numerous persons had been
taken in" by the advice therein and
had purchased the stock that they
advised and later learned that they
were wiped out.
The method used by the sheets, ac-
cording to the Better Business Bu+
reau director, was for the advice in
the sheets to be given on several
good stocks and then sandwich" in
a lengthy article about a stock that
the promoters Of the advisory sheet
held in soma quantity.
The advice, If taken by the horde
of small investors, would, Of course,
promote a larger market for the
stock, which was usually Of little or
no value and would in time drive the
price Of the stock to q high level.

After a series of arguments that
amounted to more or less of an
aimless wrangle, the Citizens Ad.
visory Council of the Federation
of Citizens Associations last night
showed aside the five.year financial
program of Daniel J. Donovan
District Auditor.
The council decided after much
debate that IL would work out some
financial plan of its own and did
not even consider using the plan
OF the District Auditor as basis
for a fiscal program.
Although Donovan has attempted
to make clear that his plan merely
tended to show what the District
can do ION the present basis over q
period OF five years, the council
decided that the program was out
standing for: omissions rather than
for those items deemed essential
to the city.

for submission at a future meet.

ZONING CHANGE
IS PUZZLER
Photo by international

When IL a corner lot not a
corner lot and what can the owner
do about it?
This rather ambiguous question
will be up for decision when the
Zoning Commission meets here May
/ and again considers the petition
of Charles F. Fadeley owner of a
large parcel of real estate at what
would normally be the intersection
of Sixteenth and Oak Streets
Northwest.
Under the zoning : regulations,
any interior lot is restricted to %
per cent occupancy and a 60-foot
to 80 per cent occupancy and a
90-foot height.
When the street in question was
surveyed it was found impractical
to run Oak Street clear through to
Sixteenth street due to the fact
that the street ends in a high bluff.
Fadeley was left with what would
have been corner lot sitting in
nevertheless still at the intersec-
ton.
E~ery method possible to establish
his lot as a corner has been made
even to attempting to dedicate a
small piece of land as a public
street.
The commission is again asked to
describe this piece of land as q
corner lot. One suggestion to give
Fadley the right to a zoning change
is to dedicate such land as would be
necessary and run the street to a
blind end.
