SIDE Of
EVENT
By Jack Dempsey

DETROIT, March 14.-One
night in Miami a stranger
walked into my room with a
loaded gun. I knocked him
out of the room by slamming
the door at him, he took a shot
at me, and ever since nearly
everybody thinks the whole
incident was a "press-agent
story
1t might be a laugh to plenty Of
folks-but 1 can't see any joke in
it. The INCIDENT ACTUALLY
HAPPENED. 1t wasn't any pub.
licity yarn. I'm not the brightest
youth in the world, but could
think UP 101 stories that would be
better headline stuff than that, II
I was looking to get my name and
picture in the papers.
Since that Miami 'shOt.heard-
round -the.wOrld' was fired,
lot of my pals have come along
!, and kidded me. They refused
to take the thing seriously,
largely for the reason that
| didn't report 1t to the police
who learned Of it only in
roundabout way.

Il So far as I'm concerned, the
whole affair Is a closed chapter.
But must have at least 500 letters
and as many kilograms from folks
who want to know what it was all
about, how 1t happened, and all
the ct c4teras. So III state the
facts:
Until the particular night when
the jolly old job was done, ! had
been sleeping alone in room in
Harry Moir's house on Miami Beach.
But that day, Floyd F'itzsimmons
arrived. from Chicago ard / told
Floyd to occupy the other bed in
my room. continued using the
bed nearest the door.
Along about in the morning. l
woke up because I heard some
slight jarring against my bed. My
eyes were but partly open when /
noticed the door was ajar-right up
against the bed. Also saw some
one standing there, gun in hand,
staring down at me!
My first thought was that Moir,
or somebody, was playing joke
On me. So lay perfectly still. In
the meantime, the intruder kept
edging closer to the bed staring
harder and harder at me as l
watched him through the Sits in
my seemingly closed eyes.

Noyes Estate.

One Of the beautiful groups of flower
ing dogwood trees in nearby Maryland
is to be found near Silver Spring on
part of the former estate of the late
Crosby s.: Moves, once editor Of The
Evening Star.
When Mr. Noyes owned the large
Summer place known then as Alton
Farm. he brought there, among many
varieties of fora, two rows of dogwood
trees, which today appear on either side
of q lane leading downhill These trees
provide one of the most beautiful fea-
lures of the entire estate, which is now
in other hands.
5 Mr.. Noyes was a great lover of trees,
and brought to the place many kinds.
some of which were entirely new to this
region. But at this time of year the
Towering dogwood. which is native here
and of which he was very fond, is
blooming in full beauty and makes a
picture which In its way is unequaled
in Washington and vicinity.
The campaign for preservation of the
Towering dogwood in Washington and
vicinity Is going forward with vigor,
and those behind the movement feel
that much good is being accomplished
in keeping the general public from
breaking down branches to carry home
flowers which only wilt and die in a
short time.

governor of the State to fill a vacancy
in the Senate caused by the death of
Senator Ladd. It was nip and tuck
whether he would be seated, for it was
argued that the governor had no right

18-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward Schonrank, 1907 G street south
east, as that schools spokesman in The
Star finals, concluded a seriously con-
tended series of eliminations. Although
the finals got away to q slow start when
the first two contestants faltered in their
speeches and needed prompting to set
them Alright, the meet concluded with
a brand of oratory, that made the judy
ing an uneasy task.
Mark Woodward launched the meet
with speech on The Citizen: His
Duties and Privileges Under the Con-
stitution." This son of Francis A. Wood
ward, principal of the Gordon Junior
High School, and Mrs. woodward spoke
and animation. He encountered difh-
culties when half way through his
speech and was unable to proceed with
out prompting word or two from
friend in the audience. But he carried
on and completed his speech with spirit.
Harry C. Putnam, ls-year-old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence S. Putnam, 3038
o street, was the second Tech orator to
compete. Speaking on THE Constitu-
ton and Big Business" Putnam used
gestures of natural grace and interest
ing infection. He. too, faltered, how
ever, and a prompting word was re-
quired to send him on to completion.
Allen Pope, IT,, II years old, OF 4722

In the meet, whipped into his speech on
THE Rights and Duties of Citizen
Under the Constitution" with an. elo-

Gordon Horsnell, l5-year-old sopho-

A. Horsnell, 604 Twenty-first street,
spoke against q handicap Of physical
and scholastic youth. With two more
years ahead of him at Tech, his school
need have no fear of finding itself with
out an orator of contest worth in the
immediate future.
Scbonrank, the victor, was the final
speaker on the Tech program, which
was presided over by Mrs. Eda Frost,
the faculty contest committee chair
man. He used much of his stage pres
ence of the drama type to confirm his
poise as he faced his audience in the
finals, and his expression, too, was
largely dramatic. His voice was pleas

he should make a creditable showing.
Followers of the contest witnessed
one of the years upsets at Tech in the
elimination of Victor Jaffe, champion of
that school in last years contest. He
had been discussed as champion again
