The idea Of organizing . local

DENLY was born In Evansville
Ind. February Is. 1870. the son Of
Charles and Martha Fitch DENLY
His father for many years was
United States minister to China.
World War Veteran
DENLY was the only World War
veteran in tho Harding cabinet. He
was serving ~ probation officer Tor
the Detroit Recorders courts when
the navy portfolio was offered him
largely. 1t was said at the time. at
the suggestion of John w. Weeks.
who became secretary Of war.
An odd parallel existed between
the careers OF Edwin DENLY and an
other Detroiter. Truman H. New
berry. Both we're members of the
Michigan naval reserve, and both
saw service aboard the U. 8. s.
Yosemite on which Newberry was an
officer. Later the gunner's mate
won the nomination for congress
that the officer had sought. Still Ia
ter DENLY occupied the cabinet seat
that Newberry had held under the
Roosevelt administration.
The parallel continued to the end
Of their respective political careers.
DENLY retired to private life with
the Teapot Dome scandal smudging
an otherwise enviable cabinet rec
ord. Newberry resigned from the
United States senate after nation
al uproar had taken place following
charges Of fraud In hts selection;
charges that led to hts conviction on
q criminal charge and his sentence
to the Leavenworth penitentiary
The verdict later was overthrow by
the United States supreme court.
"Sea-G0ing Secretary"
Denby's sobriquet while he was a
cabinet member was THE Sea-Goins
Secretary given to him because OF
his numerous trips with the fleet
He aroused the wrath Of congress
when he proposed to use the army
transport Henderson to take to

were graduated from the Annapolis

Much was threatened, but the Hen.

The trip all but turned out dis
astrously for the secretary was in ar

CAR SKATERS
WINDOW AT
&c. PENNY CO.
Ford Coupe Runs Into Large
East Window Friday; Plow-
mans Chimney Downed;
Driven by Strangers

Asko Hakala Of Aberdeen drove
a Ford coupe into the lange east
window of the j. C. Penney store
Friday afternoon about 4:SO O.
clock. While no one was injured in
the accident, the glass was shat
tered and the fluffy blue and pink
and mauve party frocks in the win
daw were left barred to the breezes.
Abaut $225.00 worth of damages
was done.
Einor Storhak, also of Aber-
deem, was passenger in the car.
Both men are Firms and were on
their way to Spokane. The Ford
had been side-swiped and turned
over on the road somewhere near
The Dalles by a large sedan, ac-
cording to their story. They had
started to park at the curb in front
of Penney's, when the car rolled
UP on the side walk and into the
plate glass window. Hakala repre-
sents a mems clothing concern of
Chicago in Washington and Idaho
and Storhak is a miner.
The impact of the car against
the window knocked down Plow-
mans chimney. Mrs. Rena Muir
ply, cook, heard the bricks fall
and rushed outdoors to find the
roof on fire. Miss Katherine Estep,
who works at Plowman's, grabbed
the money in the cash register
and the coats and rushed outdoors
with them. The fire department
arrived promptly and the fire was
put out before it did much damage
except to the roof of the building.
While the roof was afire, Hak-
ala and Storhak went inside for
the cup of coffee which they had
originally had stopped for. AS
soon as the fire was out, the girls
at Plowman's were serving sodas
and sandwiches as usual.
Peter Repp Of Horse Heaven,
who was walking along Kennewick
avenue at the time of the accident,
said that it appeared that Hakala
had put his foot on the gear and
on the gas instead Of on the brake
as he almost stopped at the curb
before the car dashed up on the
side walk and into the building.
The front axle of the car was bad
ly smashed as if there had been
considerable force at the time Of
the accident.
