HEN EQQle PedDOQV CNecK-
\A ed out of the Navy at a
wv California port some years
ago, he was 10 years old
and COB of five years
service. He promptly galloped ashore
to celebrate, met the girl who was to
become his wife, and borrowed SIS
from her to make a down payment
on banjo.
Up to that time he had been a fid-
dler and entertainer, a naive young
ster whose acquaintance with the vio-
lin began so early in life that he
carved the word Eddie" across the
back of his first instrument, knowing
few fiddle facts and the significance of
wood texture. From an ordinary sea-
man, Eddie rose to the rank of quar-
termaster in the Submarine Corps. He
served under Comdr. Charles Lock-
wood, U. S. N, genial salt who used
to make the boy serve double watch
now and then to finger sweet melo-
dies for him.
Day after tomorrow Comdr. Lock-
wood and his former underling are to
nave a reunion, prospect which
seems to excite the now famous ban
joiSt beyond measure At a cocktail
party in certain local hotel, the two
will meet again to swap "reminiscences
and laugh over the vagaries of fate.
Eddie says, II don't know what he
thinks of me. but I know he is one
of the finest men I ever knew"
This sort of hearty sentimentality
seems to be a part of the young man
who made his debut in an uninter-
ested world at Reading, Mass, in 1902.
He is a great joiner, belonging to all
imaginable lodges and clubs and royal
orders of this and that. That not
uncommon American trait does not,
however, overshadow the positive evi-
dence of musical genius, his unf1ag-
ging interest in new orchestra tions, ar
rangementS, effects, treatment of the
instruments on which he performs.
incidentally he is said to have a nod
ding acquaintance with 29 different
type of musical gadgets. His spe-

He traced the heroic deeds of

injustice deserves to live one hour. y

MRS.ROOSEVE[T

Unexpected and unannounced,
Mrs. Roosevelt today paid an
other visit to a Washington pub
lie school.
The First Lady, accompanied
by Mrs. Eleanor Patterson, edi-
tor and publisher of the Wash
ington Herald, called on the
pupils of the Cranch School at
Twelfth and G Streets Southeast.
Always much interested in the
problems of the underprivileged
child, she visited the school at
the luncheon hour to watch
operation of the program of
feeding the underfed pupils.
Mrs. Roosevelt spoke to several
children as they ate their
luncheon. and kissed one of the
little girls.
Her visit was altogether un-
expected. She left the White
House without giving any indica-
ton of her morning schedule.
This is the second time that
Mrs. Roosevelt has visited the
local schools, her first visit being
about two weeks ago when she
made a tour of three schools at
the invitation of Mrs. Henry
Grattan Doyle. vice president of
the Board of Education.

success in this field, merely be-
cause she has had success in
another. He seemed surprised to
have discovered she had talent

Unless some change is made in
the licensing of liquor dealers.
Washington will lose about so per
cent of the liquor revenue it
should receive.
That charge was hurled today
by Milton s. Kronheim, president
of the Wholesale Liquor Dealers
Association of Washington.
The trouble comes through the
licensing of solicitors" under the
terms of the District liquor con-
troll law.
The fee for this type of license
is $1OO, while fee paid by whole
Saler is 81, 500.
Many have been flocking to
Washington and are planning to
take out the solicitors licenses.
Then, having no office other than
an apartment or hotel room, they

will visit the retailers and attempt
to sell them liquor coming from
wholesalers who are not located
in the District.
These men, Kronheim charges,
are acting as wholesalers and
should be charged the full $1,50O
license fee.
For each of the solicitors, the
District loses $1,4OO in fees, Kron-
helm contends, as they are really
acting as wholesalers.
Also, he pointed out, the Dis
trict will lose much tax money
through the work of these Solici-
tors. The District government tax
is so cents a gallon on liquor.
An arrangement has been made
whereby the tax will be charged
to the retailer bv the wholesaler,
and collected by the District gov
ernment from the wholesalers.

BILL HIT

ROBBERY
Hastings Predicts End of
Reserve System and Flood

By international News Service

Assailing it as "legalized rob-
berry" and authorized gambling, :"
senator Hastings (R.) of Della
ware, late today launched a
smashing Republican attack on
President RooSevelt's new gold
monetary program.
Hastings, a former judge, de-
nouhced the bill as "unconstitu-
tional' in it's provisions for gov
ernmental seizure of Federal re-
serve gold. He also attacked the
Administrators plan to give the
Secretary of the Treasury sole
control of the huge 2,000-milGon-
dollar sterilization fund without
requiring him to report to Con-
greSS.
Sees UnSOund Currency
Hastings declared the Presidents
program was revolutionary" and
much more dangerous than the
Bryan proposal of 1896" He
said it's adoption would mean the
Administrations abandonment of
it's pledge to maintain a sound
currency. He continued:
"It violates two important
provisions of the Constitution,
in that Congress undertakes to
delegate to the President its own

Hastings made a determined
legal argument against the bill.
He cited numerous Supreme Court
decisions, including the case Of
Monongahela Navigation Com
pany VS.. United States, which, At

declaring the act constitutional.
Hastings pointed out that the

Cans Questioned About His
Stock Holdings After Allen
Visits White House

''NO decision has been reached
whatever as to the personnel
of the District Alcohol Bev.
erage Control Board"
This announcement, made by
Commissioner George E. Allen
following his return to the Dis
trict Building from the White
House today, threw a bombsheu
in local politics.
For the Commissioners, after
a deadlock over the number Of
women to be placed on the board,
came to an agreement two days
ago and informed representa-
tives OF the press the names OF
the three members.
Three Members Names
Those named were George
Offutt as chairman for a four
year term, Mrs. William Beverly
Mason for a three-year term, and
Isaac Cans for two-year term.
This announcement, it was eX-
planned, was to be considered as
informal until such time as the
President signed the liquor bill,
when they would be official.
The bill was signed yesterday,
and today Commissioner Allen
went to the White House to dis.
cusS the amendments to the bill
recommended by the President.
When Allen left the White
House he said that the control
board has not been named. One
or two or even all three of the
members as announced may be
named to the board, he said.
Cans Is Questioned
At the District Building the
change caused much speculation
as to it's cause.
Reports we're that the Stum'
bling block was Isaac Cans, chair"
man of the District Parole Board,
who received this appointment
under the Hoover administration.
Asked point blank if reports
that he is a Republican were
true, Mr.. Cans said:
81 am nOnpartisan. 1 have
lived in the District for 3S
years where we have no vote"
In response to a question If he
had contributed to the Repub-
lican campaign fund, he said:
'Tt is quite possible that I
did. do not really remem-
ber."
OFFUTT NOT IN
Mr.. Offutt, who was announced
as the chairman of the board,
was out of the city, it was said at
his office.
