abiding pedestrian or motorist-and
Charlie was convinced that. II this
happened, Brown would quickly en-
list that somebody's aid. Brown
had a faculty for pouring out aston
ishing stories to people he met. and
Uf hooking them on 10 his mad adj
venturel
But meanwhile two more Of the
enemy-if the professor proved to be
ON the enemy side-were approach
ing. and Charlie was forced TO think
OF his own skin rather than Browns.
He listened to the cminous crunch
ing of their boots on the most gray
al. and was surprised to find that
they did not make straight for the
open window. Instead. one of them
tried the front door-Charlie could
not say whose hand it was that
graSped the door-knob and ratified
it-as though such things as bolts
did not exist. Then there was a
short pause. And then Simon Brill's
head appeared at the widow.
Wait a second" the old man
muttered, to the professor. The
professor stood dripping disconso-
lately behind him. stay where you
are!"
The tone vas peremptory. Brill
might have been talking to a little
child. instead Of to a learned adult.
And the learned adult acted with
the obedience OF q little child.

Brown just had time TO deliver a
savage and thoroughly unsporting
kick before he leaped away from
the burly man. He put a lot into
that kick. II was delivered In af-

mind was in such n state Of confu-

that he knew fully what he had

His adversaries were nearly on him.

The tea cup sailed through the

men started violently and turned.

Of serious danger. Moreover, Brown
had proved himself so full Of tricks
that he might very well have kept
a tea cup UP his sleeve 70 bring out
Unexpectedly and hurl at theml
So their hesitation only lasted a
second. during which second Charlie
had the sense To drop back well out
of sight. They dashed through the
window after Brown. and flew up
the garden in his wake.
Now Charlie ran into the lounge

WASHINGTON. May 13.-Ths

~ resolution, vigorously voiced
their dissatisfaction with the tariff
Dill. which they assert. will not sat

provide adequate duties on major
products Of the farm"
The resolution Is regarded ms an
endorsement OF the attitude assumed
by the democrats and progressive
republicans who last week, led by
Representative Garner. minority
leader. N opened an attack on the
measure on the grounds that 1t dis
eliminated against agriculture.
After citing the platform pledges
Of both the. republican and demo-
cratic parties. the resolution states.
our examination OF the proposed
duties in the light Of this definite
pledge Ohe republican PLATFORM
that the domestic market Is to be
reserved for agricultural producers

the bill in important instances has
iallen far short Of meeting the re-
7Donsibility OF carrying out this

In view OF the manifest failure OF
the new tariff bill TO keep the re-
publican pledge. we now rely upon
the friends OF agriculture OF both
parties of the house and senate to
use every effort TO correct these

Washington Letter

WASHINGTON, May ia little less than two
hours in an automobile from Washington Is the Ca
toctin estate in Maryland-where President Hoover
goes a-fishing.
Public attention has been conferred on this place
since early in March. Lawrence Richey. one OF the
presidents secretaries. purchased some $500 acres Of
the estate at that time in his own right. but supposed
ly for the use Of Hoover as a fishing preserve.
Catoctin's accessibility to Washington and the
richness of its p~iscatorial offerings give assurance that
the president may be expected to make frequent use
OF II when he Is able to leave tn white hous for week
end recreation.
What prompted Richey to select Catoctin has not
been revealed. It may have been for its history. the
charm OF its old manor house. its natural beauty, its
acres Of woodland or its long stretches OF fine trout
streams 1t might well have been for all Of them. be-
cause they are all present in abundance.
AN HISTORIC PLACE
Certainly Catoctin Is one Of the most interesting
old places in a region where historic sites are to be
found at almost every turn in the road.
Catoctin manor was built in ITO by Lancelot
jacques. a Frenchman who. in l75s, had purchased
the tract in partnership with Thomas johnson. later
the first governor of Maryland. The johnson house
Rose Hill manor. still stands q few miles away. on
the outskirts OF Frederick, and is ore OF the famous
f@N~NS Al bHC lutdlAtl
The Joint purchase was made that an iron mine
ano furnaces might be operated on the tract. The
Catoctin furnaces we're in operation until after the
Civl war. Ruins of the old stone buildings add a pic
turesQue feature Of historic interest to the place.
"
FAMOUS IRON
1t was from Catoctin that General washington OBJ
tanned iron for his cannon and cannon balls during
the revolution, and the artillery used ut Yorktown was
fashioned from this then famous product. The plates
OF the iron-clad old Monitor we're also made from
Catoctin iron.
The old house has seen little changes through sue
lcessive generations Of the Jacques family. II still pre-
sents Q ~dignified, unpretentious and eminently COM
Portable appearance. 1t is surrounded by q park, and
in its woodland stretches deer and wild duck still may
be found.
Hunting creek. a winding stream OF clear water
with a fall OF over 1000 feet in four miles. Is on the
estate. The stream is famous for It's brook and rain
bow trout.
President Hoover viii not be the first chief execu-
tive to enjoy Catoctin.
George washington was a great friend Of both
Lancelot Jacques and Thomas johnson. and frequent
ly visited there. Members OF the Jacques family have
in their possession letters from the first president re-
ferring to pleasant days spent In hunting over Catoc-
tin mountains.

STORY
 TO BE ADDED
 NELSON BLDG,
Change Made in Plans of New Building on Frank
 lin and Front Streets

Before leaving for Ketchikan this week, N. G. Nelson, well known property owner of Juneau, changed the plans for the building being constructed by the J. B. Warrack Construction Company for him on the corner of Front and Franklin Streets. by adding third floor to the original plans, which called for a two-story building.
 The top floor will be made into five attractive, single and double apartments, according to J. A. Eek CT, superintendent of construction. The addition of a third floor will add about $18,000 to the $37,000 in- vestment, MT. Nelson is making ill the new building.
 Fifteen days has been added to the contract time for construction and it is expected that the build ing will be completed the latter part of September or early October MT. Ecker said.
 The two lower floors of the struc ture will be made into stores and offices, practically all of which are already rented, it is understood.
