DICKENS KIN SEES
SIGHTS Of CAPITAL
Disappointed Somewhat on
Learning Famed Hotel Is
Out of Business.
BY JOHN ]. DAILY.

Really, now! I should say the
town has changed considerably since
my grandfather visited here AS a
matter of fact, I don't believe there
was much to Washington in those
days. Was there?"
The question poised on the tongue
Of Henry Charles Dickens. grandson
OF the immortal Charles Dickens. who
spent four hours in Washington to-
day.
While the White House was the
first attraction for the latter-day
Dickens, what he wanted to see most
Of all was the old Metropolitan Hotel,
Told it was now relic of the past,
about to be torn down, the Lonooner
remarked: "A pity. We try to pre-
serve our old landmarks"
Described Politicians Of 'SS.
Twas the old Metropolitan Hotel
that drew a fine descriptive phrase
from Charles Dickens. bit Of Eng
lish that brought down upon his i'm
aginative head all the Hndictive vitu-
peration Of the vestrymen in this
country, who denounced the English
novelist for what he said about our
American politicians:
"Uncouth gentlemen, who wear high
boots, sit in hotel windows with their
feet dangling over the ledges. and spit
tobacco juice on the sidewalks"
Those days are gone forever-and
Hal Dickens this morning found
Washington rather q beautiful city.
From 1858, when Charles Dickens
made his memorable visit to Wash
ington, until 1898. when his youngest
grandson made his first appearance on
the scene, many. things have hap
pened. Il imagine grandfather would
hardly know the place" Mr.. Dickens
remarked. especially since the Metro
politan Hotel has gone out Of busi-
ness"
No Comment on Plumbing.
No sooner had Mr. Dickens stretched
his 6-foot frame on a comfortable
couch in the Mayfiower Hotel than
one of the gentlemen of the press, "
as he calls them, wanted to know
what the visitor thought of American
plumbing.
Must we go into that7" he chuc-
kled.
Mr. Dickens charming young daugh-
ter, Monica-in her 20s-remarked
hat one of the modern writers re-
Gently wrote: Art cannot live beside
4 tiled bath, inspiration is stifed by
steam heat and love flies out the win
dow of a room equipped with tele-
phone"
After the White House visit. Thomas
Brahany. who was local host to the
visitors, drove Mr.. Dickens and his
laughter down Pennsylvania avenue
past the old hotel.
Returns to New York.
Mr.. Dickens then went back to New
York satisfied. In q short visit he
mad seen the old hostelry where his
grandfather supped with some of the
great statesmen of the post-Civil War
days-along with the Tomb Of the
Unknown Soldier, the new. Supreme
Court Building and other ediflces.
In America Mr.. Dickens and his
daughter are the house guests Of

QUEzON ELECTION
SEEMS ASSURED
Has Overwhelming Manila
iority-Three Men
Reported Dead.
BY the Associated Press.


MANILA, September l7-Election
of Manuel Quezon as first President of
the Philippine Commonwealth gov
eminent to be inaugurated November
IS was indicated tonight on scat
tered returns from many provinces.
His two opponents, Gen. Emilio
Aguinaldo and Bishop Gregorio Agli-
pay, refused, however, to concede their
defeat.
Violence marked the election. One
man was killed and another lay dying
after a fight in the town of Santa
Barbara, Province of Pagasinan. Two
other men were unconfirmedly re-
ported dead at San Jose, Province Of
Antique.
Wins Manila Overwhelmingly.
Quezon. president of the Senate and
long a chief advocate Of Philippine
independence, carried the City Of
Manila by an overwhelming vote.
Some towns in the provinces did
not cast single vote for Aguinaldo
or Aglipay, both of whom insisted
upon immediate freedom from the
United States. In this they opposed
Quezon, who agreed to the 10 years Of
transition government provided for
by the Tydings-McDufie congress
sional act as preparation for COM
plete independence.
Queen polled 25,527 votes, Emilio
Aguinaldo 1o,136. and Bishop Gre
gorio Aglipay 4,322 in 241 of Manilas
244 precincts Senator Sergio Os-
mena, Quezon's running mate, had
more votes for vice president than
the Senate president had for Presi-
dent.
Downpours Cover Islands.
Tropical downpours spread over
many parts of the islands as the
mountaineers of the north, the half
savage Moros of the southern islands
and the city dwellers of Manila voted
in preparation for inauguration Of
the 10-year transitional government
designed to lead to the long g-dreamed-
Of Republic Of the Philippines.
More than a million and q half
nterate men were qualified to vote for
president, vice president and 9S
members of the National Assembly,
but threats and rains led observers to
believe only fraction Of that number
would exercise their rights.
Women and illiterates were barred
from the polls.

NEW CR|S|SLOOMS
|. IN COAL DEADLOCK
Producers Offer Extension
of Present Contract
Until April |.
BY the Associated Pres.

BY the Associated Press
Deadlocked negotiations between
Appalachian soft-coal miners and
operators for a new wage and hour
contract moved slowly toward a new
crisis today-the sixth in the last six
months.
The miners. having successfully
urged passage by Congress of tile
Guffey coal sterilization act. con-
tinued to press their demands FIR
higher wages and a shorter wo-k
week. The producers countered with
an offer to extend the present con-
tract until April I.
The Guffey act, proposed as
means of enabling mine owners to
pay higher wages, was challenged in
District Supreme Court yesterday, bit
a test Of its constitutionality was de-
ferred.
Injunction Is Denied.
Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue de-
MEL a request for a temporary IN
junction, sought by James w. Car
ter, president of the Carter Coal Co.
of West Virginia, to block operation
of the new law and restrain the Gov
ernment from collecting taxes TO ell
force the little NJ R. A." to be Great
ed within the industry
Justice O'Donoghue held that since
there was a possibility the case woLlt
be heard on its merits before Novem-
Der /, when the tax provisions of the
law become effective. he saw no rea-
son to grant a temporary restraining
order.
The Government must file an an
swer by September 25 to Carter's Pc
tition for permanent injunction.
Dickinson Denies Charge.
John Dickinson, Assistant Attorney
General, denied court room charge
that the Government was trying TO
delay test of the act. He contended
that since the Is per cent tax on
gross coal sales would not become ef-
fective until November l, Carter'S ap-
plication was premature"
Frederick H. Wood, who successfully
challenged N. r. AS constitutionality
in the United States Supreme Court,
had charged that in not Immediately
answering the unconstitutionality
challenge in the Carter suit, counsel
wants to delay as long as it can"
That's not So" Dickinson said,
repeatedly.
Nothing would please the plaintiff
more than to have the case heard
promptly" contended Wood, who ap-
peared for Carter.
Early Hearing Desired.
Dickinson, although making no
statement in the court room, told re-
porters the Government also desired
an early hearing.
At one point in his argument, Wood
referred directly to President Roose-
velt's press conference comment on
the N. R. A. Schechter decision. He
said, The Federal Government can
not regulate the way things may be
produced, whether on the farm, in the
mines or in the factories"
Nor does the Schechter case go back
to the horse and buggy days" his
voice rising scornfully. 1T was neces-
Sarily foreshadowed by every case the
Supreme Court has ever decided"

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
BIG CATCH CROAKERS
ON CHINCOTEAGUE ISLAND

Walter Reed, of Chincoteague broke
all previous records for hand line fish
ing on the Peninsula. He left the
dock at 9 o'clock, went to the wreck
near Winter Quarter Lightship and
returned by 8 o'clock next morning
with 700 pounds of large trout, 100
pounds of large croakers and 5O
pounds of blue fish. He usually fished
with three lines but because of the
rapid speed with which they were Bit
ing that night he was compelled to
cut loose one line. He reports that
the fish were biting the best he had
ever known them and that he never
fished a prettier night, with beau
tiful moon, it being perfectly calm.
1t takes quite a lot of pluck to
catch these fish. It is impossible to
get them to bite in the day time as the
bass take charge. The bass will not
bite at night but the trout will and
that explains why he does so much
fishing at night.

Counterfeit bills, mostly of five and

their appearance in Salisbury appar-

any bogus money in recent years.
Several hundred dollars of the coun-
terfeit currency is believed to have
been placed in this city's trade chan
nels within the last ten days. One
person exhibited three bogus five
dollar bills he had accumulated.
In it's regular weekly bulletin to
members, the Del-Mar-Va Credit Blu
reau, Inc. says:
at is difficult for the average per-
son to distinguish the counterfeiting
unless they had a genuine note for
compare. Therefore, to attempt to
define here the defects in the counter
feiting would, doubtless not give our
merchants the protection for which we
hope.
eve suggest that suspecter bills
of SIS and over be initiated with the
initials of the party from whom the
bills is received. This will serve a
two-fold purpose, first, self-protec-
ton: secondly, to trace the note back
through the various persons in whose
possession it may have been. possibly
to it's origin and thus assist the agents
of the Department of Justice to run
down the culprits."
Salisbury banks reported most Of
the bogus money they had received
was SIS bills. One 500, one So and
a few spurious $40 bills were also
found in deposits during the past two
