BOARD CONSIDERS
PENSION DIRECTOR
John A. Marshall Among
Those Suggested to Run
Unemployment Plan.

John A. Marshall, District superin-
tendent of insurance, has been sug-
gested to the Commissioners for ap-
pointment as executive director for
the District Unemployment Compen-
sation Board, to administer unemploy-
ment insurance payments, it was re-
vealed yesterday.
Other candidates also have ap-
peared. Among these is said to be
Louis Dent, lawyer and accountant,
who is the father of Edward Dent,
District surveyor. The elder Mr.
Dent formerly was registrar of wills
and in former years was associated
in work on the District insurance
code.
The Commissioners and other
members Of the Unemployment Com
pensation Board are expected to hold
their first meeting this week A di-
rector will be selected as soon as
practicable, but no intimation has
been given yet as to their decision.
Composition of the board was COM
pleted only Friday, with the appoint
ment of Daniel j. Callahan, veteran
civic and business worker, as repre-
sentative of employers, and John
Locher, president of the Central Labor
Union. representative of employees.
Commissioners Hazen, Allen and
Sultan are the other three members.
While assessments for the work in
surance program will not start until
January /, the Commissioners are
anxious to complete preliminary plans
we'll in advance of that date because
of the great amount of detail work
which must be handled All local plans
and policies must be approved by Fed
eral officials.
The Commissioners have empha-
sized the need of securing a high
class business executive for the di-
rectorship and lean toward appoint
ment of one with actual experience.
The job is so big that AZ "ring-tail
bear-cat" will be needed to make the
machinery work, said one Commits
sioner.
Marshall was named head of the
District Insurance Department Feb
ruary 10, 1884. He previously had
been engaged for years in the insur-
ance business.

PRIVATE RITES PLANNED
AT GOMPERS' STATUE
Miss Perkins, McGrady, Green,
and Others Will Speak in
Various Cities.

Washington tomorrow will have its
euietest Labor day in l3 years.
For the first time since 1922 there
will be no parade, either of firemen or
union labor, and no public plans have
been made for as much as a picnic of
local unions. The traditional Firemen
VS.. Policemen base ball game will not
be played.
On the other hand. the extra-day
week end promises to see record
number of Capital residents leaving
the city for nearby seaside resorts.
With the swimming season ending,
several beach resorts are offering
special attractions to draw crowds
from Washington.
The Weather Bureau promises gen.
orally fair weather, with the tenn
perature not quite so cool as yesterday
and today.
Early evidence of the exodus from
the Capital was given yesterday after
noon, when bus lines running to Mary
land and Virginia seaside points were
1ammed. At least two lines ran extra
buses.
Railroads Extend Time.
Because of the holiday, the railroads
have extended their special weekend
rates an extra day. To offset the de-
partures from the city, railroads are
running special excursions to bring in
as many visitors as possible. Special
trains from New York, Philadelphia,
Scranton, Wilkes Barre, Altoona, Har-
risburg, York, Reading and Western
Maryland will begin arriving early to-
day. No excursions from the South
are scheduled, however.
In contrast to last year, when the
TABOR unions replaced the firemen in
parading, there will be no bands 20
blare or feet to tramp along Pennsyl-
vania avenue. Last year more than
10000 spectators defied the rain to
watch the march
Local organized labor, picking up in
employment after series of lean
years, was said to be too busy this
year putting men in jobs and main
tanning them there to concern them
selves with a public demonstration.
However. private memorial services
are to be held at the statue of Samuel
Gompers at Massachusetts, avenue,
Tenth and L streets.
Leaders will Speak.
In the country at large the holiday
will be celebrated in many ways and
among the features will be addresses
by prominent leaders of labor and
Government. Secretary Perkins plans
to make an address over the Columbia
broadcasting station at 10 pm. to-
morrow. Assistant Secretary Edward
F. McGrady was scheduled to make an
address at a rally in Massachusetts,.
A. J. Altmyer, the other Assistant
Secretary, will spend the day con-
tinuing his work as one of the new
members of the Social Security Board
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, will
speak in Canton, Ohio, his home town.
It will be his first public appearance
before his former neighbors since he
became head of the A. F. of L.
Outside labor circles. stores will be
closed, street cars will run on a holi-
day schedule, and the city's only
amusement park will stage its finale
for the season. The Public Library
at Eighth and K streets will be closed.

EMPT|ED
ORFEDERA[ USE
Potomac Park Apartments
Vacated Rapidly, but
Deal Not Yet Closed.

Despite a dearth OF available
apartments in Washington, the big
Potomac Park Apartment building at
Twenty first and C streets was nearly
empty last night as its owners
waited a delayed decision by
the Federal Government on plans
to purchase the building as quarters
for the Works Progress Admins
tratiop.
A month ago notices were served
on all tenants that they must vacate
by September l to make way for
Federal occupancy. Of the 120 ten
ants in the building all but 40 had
vacated up to yesterday morning
and only about 80 were left last
night.
The remainder are being cleared
out as rapidly as the elevators in the
building can handle the movement
of their furniture and household goods
and still maintain service for tenants
who have not yet moved. Permission
has been given some of the tenants
to delay moving to as late as Sep
ternber 25 unless the Government
should demand earlier occupancy, it
Is understood.
Deal Goes to White House.
Ohicials of the Division of Govern
ment Space Control of the National
Park Service have announced that
negotiations for purchase OF the Po-
tomac Park Apartment property have
been completed and the matter sent to
the White House for presidential ap-
proval, as is now required by law.
Because of other business the Presi-
dent has been unable to reach the
Potomac Park matter, it is under
stood. and no decision is expected
before the early part Of this week.
Reason for the delay on the part
of the Government in concluding ar
for taking over the build
ing has not been disclosed. 1t is
understood, however, to have been
the result of difference Of opinion as
to the justification for taking over
the big apartment structure at this
time. The apartment is located in
the area which has been designated
by the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission as the north
west rectangle and Is slated to be ac-
quired by the Government eventually
even If the purchase should NOT be
at the present time.
Office Alterations Planned.
II the plan is approved by the
the building will be pur-
chased by the Procurement Division
of the Treasury Department under
the Keyes- Elliott act, which sets aside
for ultimate purchase by the
Government.
The Potomac Park Apartments con-
tain about 10000 square feet of floor
area, but considerable alterations work
will have to be undertaken to adapt
1t to ofiice use, It is said.
Negotiations for purchase Of the
it is understood, have been in
progress for about two months. Pres
ent owners of the eight-story build
ing are said to be Martin West of
Weaver Bros, REALTORS, and James p.
Schick. The first owner was Frederic
j. Haskin, who conducts daily in
formation service in The Star and
who now has Offices comprising most
of the basement and first floor Of the
apartment building.

he would give Hazen the chance to
fill the assessors post before the Com
missioner's term was up. Hazen
shouted down that suggestion. The
two were co-workers and friends of
long standing.
The District Subcommittee Of the
House Appropriations Committee, at
hearings last Winter on the District
budget, adopted a resolution praising
Richards work and urging the Com
missioners to extend his service two
years beyond retirement age of 68.
Richards will be 10 early next year.
Only recently he bought large farm
near Milford, DEL his birthplace. His
plan now is to finish out 1895, take
two months of vacation-which he
will have accrued-and retire at the
end of February
Career in Service Unusual.
Mr.. Richards has had an unusual
career in District service. He came
here from engineering work on the
Mississippi River to enter the engi-
neer department in 1891 as an assist
ant engineer. He was transferred to
the surveyors Office and later was
placed in charge of street extension
work in the engineer department and
laid out highway plans beyond the
limits of the L'Enfant plan. Some
called him the father" of the modern
highway plan. He also made early
Rock Greek Park SURVEYS.
He was named District assessor In
1908 and has been in charge since,
witnessing the growth of realty as
sessments from a once modest figure
to the huge total for this year of
$i.l38.000,0 900.
He is the author of many papers on
assessment methods and he has de-
veloped numerous new guides which
have been followed in other places.

their maddening thirst for water. Morn

nothing else to do. Somewhere in that

And finally, far ahead, they .spied q

stopping there for food and water as
he should have done, he took his band
on the long trip to K%alispell. There
he unloaded.
He says that he attended very care
fully to his horses, feeding them two
hours before watering them, paying
particular attention to the washing out
of the troughs. But next morning,
when he went down to the corral to
supervise the reloading, he was dis
mayed to find that one Of the horses, a
big, beautiful black, staggered and fell.
Then he looked around and saw IL
dead horses in the corral. The situa-
ton was more than serious. It was
tragic. Had some contagious disease
swept over the band, threatening to
wipe it out? By sunset 80 horses had
died.

Smith shudders as he recalls that NOM
ent of bitter disappointment.
Two nights and a day Grant Smith
and his two men, one sick with ague,
wandered, lost, over the Washington
desert before they found their camp.
This vas but a minor incident i'll the
long chain of tragedies, just INT of the
casual experiences that made up the
day of the early cattleman. Eventually
they rounded up the 1000 head of wild
horses, drove them to Euphrata, and
loaded them there, providing for stop
overs at Spokane, Butte, Miles City
and on through the east, for feed and
water. Mr.. Smith had an agreement
with the agent at Euphrata that, at all
stops along the line, low watering
troughs be constructed for his wild
horses who could not be induced to
approach the ordinary high troughs
in the stock corrals. But the agent was
careless, the agreement was verbal, and
it was broken.

mistake. He had been told that facil-

We who boast SO proudly and glib
ly OF our west Is one of the great
est sheep and cattle regions in the
world, know little of the hardships
which the pioneer cattlemen wxnt
through in the early days to justify
our ignorant pride. Grant Smith Is
n OF those hardy pioneers, and,
with most cattlemen, he shared the
experiences Of being rich and going
broke over and over again. During
the years between 1907 and 1913 when
Inghram conducted the horse auc-
tions at Miles City, Mr.. Smith ship
ped 500 cars of wild horses from that
famous horse and cattle market.
The other day Mr.. Smith showed me
slips of paper that spoke eloquently of
money-much money. Checks, bills,
notes, receipts, dated from 1907 on.
for $50 900, SAL 900, each little yellowed
slip representing a small fortune made
and usually lost, but representing. also,
adventure, thrills and sometimes har-
rowing suffering both for man and

ling experience leaves us without a
doubt as to the truth of his statement.
It was in 1902 when the west was
still young and when railroad facilities
had not yet reached their present
pinnacle of efficiency. Out in Washing
ton, Grant Smith purchased, unseen,
1000 head of horses to ship to Chicago.
They were wild range horses to whom
man was a mysterious and terrifying
sight. Many of them were born out
laws. Having made the purchase
Smith, with some men to help, began
the difficult task of rounding up his
band and loading them for shipment.
That meant a ride of 60 miles out from
Euphrata, WASH, across new country.
Forty miles of it vas desert to the
range camp and back.
Most of the men had gone ahead to
make camp. When night came Mr..
