nue drinking water.
In this connection It is hard TO understand
how the unprincipled spalpeens ever got away
With their lives. for, although the people OF
this section were frequently known TO fight
among themselves. they would even more
eagerly make common cause against an enemy.

and then went up and kicked one OF the
buckets over. The woman told him to 60

Honan took the other bucket and struck her

all were captured after a long chase and car

another woman who saw the transaction. It
was an outrageous act and resulted In the
commitment Of Honan as the principal, and
also the others, his companions The evidence

who were expert musicians-and each of these
had a small son living In about 1872.
Mrs. Flowers says that at that time Harry
Bowers, son of the celebrated actress, Mrs. d.
p. Bowers, conducted a grocery on the north
west corner of Thirteenth and F streets. or
course, this neighborhood has changed Won
derfully we all know, but it really would be
asking almost too much Of the present genera
ton to imagine seeing hothouses on the corner
where now stands the Earle Theater, and yet
that is true, probably up until about 1880, when
E. and j. Cammack quit this corner entirely
for their farm at what is now Georgia avenue
and Rock Creek Church road and which ex-
tended east along the road TO the Soldiers
Home grounds. At the corner of Thirteenth
and streets the CammackS were succeeded IN
the flower business by Joseph r. Freeman.
As Mrs. Flowers people were interested Tor
so many years in the hotel business in the
busiest part of Washington across the street
for a while from Newspaper Row, and then
right around the corner from this celebrated
square, It Is but natural that she should be-
come acquainted with some of the best known
people of the day, and when called upon to

she mentioned Washington Mclean, father of
John r. and grandfather of Edward Beale; Mr..
Hensey and Mr.. Benntt of the Sunday Herald,
Dom Piatt of the Capital, Gilbert Pierce, Mr..
Ramsdell, w. B. Shaw of the Boston Transcript

A FEW weeks ago the writer showed an old
base ball fan q card of admission TO the
games of the National Base Ball Club. when in
1860 the card states-they were playing at
Fifteenth and streets. He took issue with
statement on the card and said 1t was impoS-
sible However, the writer hopes to show in
ahis story a picture of Massachusetts, avenue
and Fifteenth street. sketched even some years
after the Louise Home had been built, which
clearly indicates the rural character OF the
neighborhood at that time. L street and Fiji

Philip Barton Key is said to have had
clandestine meeting with Mrs. Dan SickleS,
which caused the latter's husband to kill the
son of the author of 1.-The Star Spangled Ban
ner" Key was then the United States District
Attorney and naturally man of polish and re-
finement, and if anybody can look at these
shacks and imagine a gentleman OF his type
and standing meeting a woman there, he GER
tainly must have unusual way of thinking
The writer never reads of this case but that he
concludes that the rash Sickles did poor Key an
awful injustice.
Recently the writer had presented to him
by Miss Edna A. Clark a number Of photo
graphic views of Washington, between 40 and
SO years ago and some even older, taken by the
late w. H. Seaman. He feels that the reader
will be greatly interested in these photographs.
The removal, along about 1890. of the old
ST. Cloud Building. at Ninth and F streets.
where now stands the granite building of the
Washington Loan & Trust, is especially at
tractive. Mr. John A. Smiths residence, Eff
bingham. was a short distance north Of Florida
avenue and west of First street-probably back
in old Moore's lane.
Regarding the water that came from spring
this property Mr.. Bryan says:
LAS this water was piped down North Capitol
street, it flowed into reservoirs in the east and
west grounds of the Capitol, and was introduced
into the building. so that by 1888 the members
of Congress were no longer dependent on pumps
in the yards In addition, the water was used
to keep green the lawns and supply the flower
beds and shrubbery that then adorned the inn
mediate locality Of the building"

Her first husband, Harry Sykes, was the son
of James Sykes of the firm of Sykes Chadwick

few years from about 1865 on. Since her huS

she made her home there until the partnership

Sykes, took over the Jenness House about 1871,

No Indication Shown as to Acceptance of Laval
 Hoover Plans

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 27- If results comes from conversations between French Premier Pierre Laval and President Hoover, re- vision of all war debt settlements will be one of the most intricated financial problems in international history. It will mean the dissem- bling and juggling of billions of dollars by the worlds statesmen to the satisfaction of more than half a dozen nations to be in- volved
 Chancellor Bruening has already represented that Germany is ready to open the separations question for revision of the Young plan, in conforming with the plan of Laval and Hoover, and that after Ger many's payments are adjusted on a basis of her ability to pay, Am erica would view from the same perspective proposals to cut debts of her former Allies.
 From Congressional leaders, how ever, there has come no definite trend of thought to indicate the eventual attitude toward scaling down of war debts.

C. 0. C. SERENITY
 ALMOST BROKEN BY PROHIBITION
Resolution Asking for Ref erendum Cause of
 Brief Furry

A Prohibition resolution, passed by the New Orleans, La, Board of Trade and other similar organiza- tions of the Louisiana metropolis, almost upset the serenity of the Chamber of Commerce today, when a motion to adopt it was made and seconded.
 The resolution is request for a referendum by States on the Eigh- teenth Amendment, and subscribes to a similar resolution adopted by the American Legion at it's recent national convention at Detroit.
 CcnnOrs Moves Adoption
 J. J. Connors, member of the Executive Committee, moved the adoption of the New Orleans reso- lution and obtain second. M. s. Whittier interposed an objection based on point of order. The Chambers bylaws, he said, pro- hibit the Chamber from consider ing any subject of either political or religious nature. AS the point was not pressed, President w. w. Council made no ruling.
 Senator Allen Shattuck made a second point of order on the ground that the bylaws require any sub ject of major importance to be re- ferred to a committee for investi- gation before action is taken Be- fore a ruling was made on this, MT. Connors withdrew his motion, saying the Chamber probably would be glad to act on a similar one later.
 Text of Resolution
 The text of the resolution fol- lows:
 Whereas, The American Legion, assembled in Convention in Detroit, has adopted resolution appealing to Congress for a referendum amending the Eighteenth Amend ment, or any other legal means in order to permit the manufacture and sale of light wines and beer; and
 Whereas, by ruling, the Chair, supported by the Convention, de- clared that Prohibition is no long CT a political question but one which intimately touches the econ- omic situation of the Government, in every branch as well as every
