KEY. RESIDENCE.
TO LIVE AGAIN

Plans for the restoration of the
Francis Scott Key home, which
was recently located at 3516-18-2O
M st. N. w., are being made by
Capt. E. M. Chisholm, of the
National Park and Planning Com
mission.
Captain Chisholm was elated
today when he located Mrs. Mary
A. Fisher. of 1907 Lamont st. N.
w.. who lived in the house from
1852 until 1892. Mrs. Fisher,
who is now more than 80, re-
members the formation of the
original rooms, corridors and
other parts of the building and
she has promised to aid in the
direction of the renovation.
Captain Chisolm said it will
not take more than $4,000 to
restore the building to the con-
dition it was when Francis Scott
Key lived there from 1909 to
1880 He plans to have colonial
societies throughout the country
donate the money necessary be-
cause the Government has made
no appropriation for the work.
The Government purchased the
property about two weeks ago so
that it might be retained as
memorial to "The Star-Spangled
Banner"

HOOVER REBUKE
SEEN IN JERSEY.

TRENTON, N. j., Nov. 5
G.NSD .-Democratic leaders and
many Republicans as we'll agreed
today that the immense plurality
which A. Harry Moore had
achieved over his Republican op-
ponent, David Baird, jr., in the
gubernatorial election was a re-
buke to the present A1miniStra-
ton in New Jersey and Wash
ington.
The Democratic landslide in
New Jersey. which gave Moore
a plurality of 232, 1876, also gave
the Democrats control of the
State assembly for the first time
since Woodrow Wilson was gov
ernor.
Mayor Frank Hague, of Jer-
sey City. Democratic State leader,
was one Democratic chieftain
who saw in Moore's plurality a
rebuke to the State and national
administrations. And Baird, in
conceding his defeat, also ex-
pressed the opinion that the vote
had been, a protest against the
present administration.

TOO MANY LAWS
SAYS MOSES

WORCESTER, Mass, Nov. 5
0.N.SD.-A prediction that this
country will go through a period
of Legislative stagnation" for the
next two years, if the Democrats
succeed in organizing the next
House of Representatives, and a
plea for a bigger Army and Navy
was left today by Senator George
H. Moses (RO, of New Hamp-
shire.
Following an address before the
Worcester Economic Club, Sena-
tor Moses declared that Demo
cratic control of the House would
mean Legislative stagnation for
the next two years, which will be
a d-n good thing for the coun-
try. We are passing too many
laws anyway"
In his plea for more adequate
national defense, both naval and
military, the Senator took issue
with President Hoover on the lat
ter's appointment of a committee
to investigate statements of the
Navy League against the Presi-
dent. saying:
''It is poor practice to load a
16-inch gun to shoot a squirrel"

If French Olym,pians
Get Too Dry, Wine
Bricks Might Do

When the French Olympic
athletes come to Lake Placid.
N. Y, for winter sports, they
face the difficulty of obtaining
wine for their training diet, it
was pointed out here today.
Although the French Am
bassador can import liquor. it
is supposed to be used only un-
der diplomatic control, although
belief has been expressed that
the United States will not split
hairs on this point.
But the American Govern.
nent is said not to be con-
vinced that skiing and skating
come under the head of diplo-
matte missions. which would
permit the athletes to bring
their own wine.

T|LSON To GIVE
DEMOCRATS
FULL AID
Republican Floor Leader Is
Ready to Lend His Party's
Cooperation, He Says
Copyright. 1891. by International
News Service)

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. 5.
Definite assurance that the
prospective Democratic majority
in the next House of Representa-
tives may expect full cooperation
from Republican Congressman to
enact all worthwhile and needful
legislation was given today by
John @. Tilson, present Repub-
lican floor leader.
Tilson spoke while shouts and
murmurs of Tuesdays election
still echoed. an election that left
his Republican party with 215
seats in the lower chamber Of
Congress to match 2l7 Democrats,
with one Farmer-Laborite and two
vacancies to sway the delicate
balance of power.
May Lose Out
He spoke while his own chances
of gaining the Speakership left
vacant by Longworth's death were
fading away before an unmlStak-
able Democratic sentiment.
He may not be majority leader
again.
He may not even be minority
leader after the keen struggle for
the Speakership is over.
Yet. he is still his party's leader
in the House and there are many
who believe that when Tilson
opens his mouth the AdmlnlStra-
ton deposeth and saith.
No Opposition Planned
His promise of cooperation, Til
son declared, will hold good for
legislation genuinely designed to
improve the country's economic
situation or for any other pur-
pose, IF it appeals to our judg-
ment whether we are in position
to propose or support"
John Garner and Company,
Democrats, if they organize and
control the House, need fear no
opposition on pure partisan lines
from the Republicans. the floor
leader said, and any measure
pressed by the Democrats will be
treated fairly and Squarely on it's
merits, he added.
