GIRL Il BEFORE
She SEES her
SINCER-FATHER
Couple Is Reunited at Pier,
After One Futile
Ocean Trip.
BY COLLIER FORD
United Press stan Correapondent

NEW YORK, March 23.-Louis
Rousseau, French tenor, met his 81
year-old daughter for the first time
Tuesday shortly after she stood on
the rain-swept pier of the Cunard
line gazing across the foggy Hudson
toward the decks of the liner
Mauritania which brought him to
America.
The girl was Louise Rousseau,
daughter of the opera singer, born
in Dallas, Tex, in 1911, few weeks
after the separation and divorce of
. her parents. Her mother was the
daughter of wealthy Dallas and
New York lawyer.
Louise had never heard of her
father, and had no idea where he
. was until a few years ago when she
was a student at the Massachusetts
institute of technology. Then she
found her fathers address in a
Paris directory of the opera.
DiscIaims Hold
She wrote to Rousseau, disclaim-
ing any legal hold on his prop
erty" as he laughingly explained
Tuesday, but asked him to CORE
spond with her if he was her father.
He replied:
MY dear child. Legally nothing.
Whatever I have is yours. That
you want your father makes me the
happiest man in the world"
A few weeks later, Rousseau sailed
for New York only to find that his
daughter had changed her address.
The letter telling him the change
had not reached him. For several
weeks he lived here and finally re-
turned to France, disheartened.
He learned later that he had been
living all the time within calling
distance of his daughters home.
She had walked by his doorway
every morning and evening on her
way from work.
Poor Bank Clerk
The singer said he was a poor
bank clerk in New York when ne
met his wife.
81 can understand it. I was a
bank clerk, with some promise in
the future, but I wanted to follow
art. When left the bank, Mrs.
Rousseau's family objected. but I
was determined to sing One day
when I went home they were all
gone"
Louise walked up the gangway
Tuesday when the Mauritania
docked, her fathers picture in her
hand. He stood in a secluded cor
ner of the deck, holding her photo
graph.
They recognized each other i'm
mediately. Louise had found a ia
ther, Rousseau his daughter.

the basis that Schoen was an Off

However, this statement Is met
with the charge that Schoen was
slain because, through his police
work. he had uncovered operations
of an Indianapolis and central In
diana gang.
Gunner friends declare. hired by
the gang leaders, murdered Schoen
near midnight March s, 1928. within
a few yards of his residence.

They speak of the La Guardia
two-point landing" which they
describe as being made ION one
wing and the tail-skid."
La Guardia stands about five
feet six, and weighs about los
pounds. His complexion is de-
cidedly swarthy. His hair is
black. He wears it combed close
to his head and parted a little to
the left of center.
He accentuates his dark aspect
by wearing dark blue clothes and
blue or black ties. His eyes are
brown.
LIE doesn't rise to speak. He
IL bounces. He puts tremendous
energy into his oratory, bounding
around, crouching. rising on his
toes and swinging his arms.
He is noted in a parliamentary
way for three things. He has an
amendment for about every i'm
portant measure that is offered.
He always votes for other peoples
amendments-thereby gaining a
measure of support for his own.
He is chronic objector when
bills are up for passage by unani-
nous consent, being ranked in
that regard with Blanton of Texas
and Stafford of Wisconsin.
He is given to theatrical ges-
lures. Once, when engaged in a
fight against prohibition, he made
beer publicly in the house Office
building.
ONE day, while making a
" speech against "monopolies,"
he drew fresh pork chop from
his vest pocket, waved it before
the house and told how much he
paid for it, and how much the
farmer who raised the pig re-
ceiVed. He also plays the from
bone.
In 1929 he married his secre-
tary. She continues as his secre-
tary. He is known as the "busi-
est man in New York" when con-
gresS is not in session.

WTASHINGTON, March 3D.
w For the moment, at least,
Fiorello H. La Guardia, one of
the interesting characters in Amer
lean politics, is booted and spurred
and riding strongly in the saddle
in the house Of representatives.
1t is his leadership, more than
that of any one else, that the
house has been following while 1t
tore to shreds the tax bill, so
carefully drawn up by its more
conservative ways and means
committee.
La Guardia has been in congress
for some fifteen years. His par
ents were Italian born.
He himself is a native of New
York City, but, strangely
enough, he obtained his elemen-
tary education in Prescott. Ariz.,
and is a graduate of the Pres
colt high school.
Then he returned to New York
and was graduated as a Bachelor
Of Laws from New York univer-
sity in 1910.
THERE Is nothing orthodox in
Il his career. Before beginning
to practice law he held such I'M
usual positions as interpreter at
Ellis Island, New York, consular
agent at Fiume, Hungary, and
attache in consulateS at Trieste
and other places.
He first was elected to congress
in 1917 from the Fourteenth dis
trict of New York after serving
in the legislature, where they
couldn't keep him quiet.
Later he was elected to con-
gress from the Twentieth district,
which he now represents.
But in the congressional di-
rectory, where by the way, he
gives no autobiography of him
self, he records that he is resi-
dent Of Brooklyn. No part OF his
district lies in Brooklyn

President of the American Bank &
Trust Co. of Richmond and a personal
friend of many Washington bankers,
has just completed 80 years service with
the bank. Not only that, but Mr..
Sands founded the institution and has
been president of 1t nearly a third of a
century. Those two facts make the
record most exceptional.
Starting his career in the First Ma
tional Bank of Fairmont, w. Va, Of
which his father was president, the
young cashier secured a, position as ma
tional bank examiner in the district in
which Richmond is located. He was so
taken with Richmond that he decided
to resign as an examiner, settle there
and found bank, which he proceeded
to do, later spurning several banking
offers in larger fields.
During his term of Office, the banks
capital has increased from 100000 to
$3,500,000, the largest capital of any
bank in the State. At the same time
deposits have grown to $15,000,000 and
resources to $23,000,000. The original
bank was located in a store. Years later
growth called for expansion and Mr.
Sands was the leading spirit in the erec-
ton of the first "skyscraper' in the
Virginia capital.
A newspaper advertisement shows
that the bank was founded with nine
directors It now has 49, OF the original
board the only survivors are President
Sands and William c. Camp, vice presi-
dent.
