officers. it was pointed out. was report
he had made to the State Department
on the Great-Lakes-Atl seaway as
a member of the American Canadian
Joint Engineering Board. These reports
were studied closely by Government Of
ficials and created a favorable impress
sion.
Testified at Hearings.
Markham also testified before the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
last Winter at hearings on the ratifica-
ton Of the treaty, that the plans pro-
posed were perfectly safe, perfectly
adequate and commodious"

.PLASTERERS' WAGE
DISPUTE SETTLED
Men Will Return to Work
Monday-Pay to Be $12
After September 8.

The plasterers lockout" In the Capt.
tai was settled last night after three
weeks Of controversy, and the 500
affected men will 60 back to work Mon
day.
The settlement was reached last
night between representatives Of con-
tractors and union officials, the agree
ment being that the $14 wage scale
remain In effect until September 8, at
which time q reduction to $12 would
become effective,
This announcement was made today
by M. j. McDonough, president Of the
Building Trades Division Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, who with N.
]. Colleran. president Of the Interna-
tional Union Of Plasterers: James
Myers and John Frock, vice presidents,
arranged the settlement.
The $l4 wage scale, McDonough said,
has been in operation for the last three
years. Three hundred plasterers on
several local projects were shut out
when they refused to accept the reduc-
ton In wages announced by the contrac-
tors. This necessarily threw 200 hod-
carriers out of work also, although
their pay scale was not In dispute.
II the controversy had continued,
McDonough said, plasterers employed
on all Government buildings here would
have been affected, seriously tying up
the Federal building program.

wrote. that I inform you that the
stock Of the Hamilton National Bank

Of that institution assured. I am par
ticularly gratified with the help given
by depoSitors and stockholders who have
comparatively small interests in the in

the benefit Of the community and for
the benefit Of depositors whose ac-
counts exceeded 10000 in number,
subscribed for capital stock and made
it possible for the Hamilton National

This new bank will shortly open un-
der most auspicious circumstances.
"It will have more than 5000 stock

of accounts for a new bank. It will

The men forced their way into the

after he responded to their knock on

Kearney sit down, then ordered him to
hand over his cash, he said.
Instead of complying, however, ne
attacked the men. One Of the men beat
him over the head with the butt OF g

lake that was ingeniously made to ap-
pear natural.
Time ModifSes Scene.
Today the whole scene remains, but
time has left its indehble mark upon
1t. The lake has almost dried up. The
dairy not far from the little spring has
been abandoned and now Is going to
ruin. The new roadway skirting the
demolition Of the historic outbuildings.
A little westward, within range Of the

mill. once used by the slaves Of the
Blair family, standing now covered
with Q mass Of English ivy and having
the appearance Of an old ruin.
But the spring still remains. Once
It rose up In Q shining column, its
cool, silvery water glittering brilliantly
in the sunshine. Much Of its beauty
was destroyed, however, some years
ago when q freshet caused by q heavy
storm washed earth from the surround
ing country into it.
Few Know u Spring.
Many have passed within q few feet
of the spring along busy Georgia ave
nue., and many more will come close
to it when the new Blair Mill road,
now under construction, is completed.
Relatively few. however, know of the
existence Of this peculiar fountain that
spouts in soil that breathes Of great
events gone by.
Former Senator Blair Lee, who. with
his son, z. Brooke Lee, descendants
Of Francis Preston Blair, now own and
occupy the estate, recalls many Of the
great events Of the Civil War period
which revolved about the place. The
