before the House ways and means COM
mittee on this section of the tariff act

those giving it should be fined, started
an extensive argument today at the
committees hearing on tariff revision.
Allan Gerdau. representing the Otto
Gerdau Co. of New York. prefacing a
protest against the 20 per cent duty
on reeds. declared he was amazed at
the incorrect" statements made by
reed manufacturers to the committee
and charged that 60 per cent of 1t was
not fit to be presented.
Chairman HawIey Retorts.
That's for us to decide. not you"
Chairman Hawley interrupted
IF you placed fine Of $4,000 on
those witnesses giving testimony you
believe is wrong a great deal of your
time would be saved"
Hawley informed the witness that
the committee had no authority to ad-
minister oaths except by special order

on foreign territory, but, for the in
formation of critics, they weren't.
The German Empire fell, but the
garages stayed.
Republic succeeded monarchy, and in
the incumbency of the first German
Ambassador accredited here after the
war. DR.. Wiedfeld, the question of Sui
livan's occupancy was raised. Not with
much success, however, and then a bit
Of strategy was reported to have been
brought into play. A huge van brought
here from Germany as a freight car
rier was draped over the entrance to
the property, blocking ingress to the
garages. Very soon the van was no
longer In evidence, but Sullivan had two
new garages, which, unmistakably, bore
German wording.
Jaw, they don't want the property"
Jerry said laughingly. and apparent
~ that was the answer, for that was
four years ago.
So the matter drifted along. Sullivan
died, and his family remained at Kalo-
rama.
In November. his son, Eugene F. Sui
llvan, disclosed yesterday, the German
embassy served him with 80 days
notice to vacate. He demurred, con-
tending the time was too short. he
says, but expressing willingness to leave.
However, the case went to Municipal
Court, and on December 10 the Ger
man state" got judgment for possession.
And so, after this brief incursion in
to the land of whimsy, Kalorama once
more takes up the thread of its exis-
tence as landmark, and speculation
as to what the future may bring Is
necessarily linked with the interesting
story OF its past.
Grant From King.
The estate or grant of land was
originally bestowed upon Anthony
Holmead by British King. He, un-
able to occupy the place. transferred
the property to his nephew, Anthony
Holmead, who erected the original
residence on that section of the estate
known as Rock Hill. This building is
said to have been built of English
brick imported from England, and was
reputedly the first or second brick
house here.
In 1894 the house with about 40
acres was bought and occupied by one
Gustavus Scott from Dorchester
County, Md. He doubtless moved from
Maryland in compliance with the re-
quest of President Washington, who had
appointed him as one of the first Com
missioners of the District, as we'll as
superintendent Of public works. Many
years later Scott died a bankrupt and
the property was sold to William Au-
