powered to issue 100000 in deben-

THE coat of arms here shown is
that of the Scottish branch Of
Watsons, who removed to Ireland,
where Christopher Watson, the pro-
genitor of many Americans Of the
name, was born in County Cavan.
His grandson Josiah emigrated to
Virginia and Pennsylvania. In It'll
he laid claim to 800 acres Of land
in Cumberland County, Pa, which
had been evacuated by his sister Mar
garet in 1853. He subsequently lived
in New Jersey.
Josiah Watson, son of Josiah, es-
tablished his home in Virginia at
Turkey Ridge and Bush Hill, near
Alexandria. Being endowed with an
adventurous spirit equal to that of
his forefathers, Josiah pushed into
Kentucky and Tennessee, where he
purchased immense tracts of land.
The extent Of his holdings amounted
at the time of his death to 1873, ,643
acres Many of his descendants are
now living in Kentucky and Tennes-
see as well as in other sections of the
country.
Strangely enough, the name Watson
is not derived from Watt (the son OF
Watt) as has been advanced, but orig
mated with the name Walter, which
has itself given rise to the name Watt

cency of Cleveland it was occupied by
the Hon. Hilleary A. Herbert while he
was Secretary Of the Navy. To old
Washingtonians it will always be
known as Ray House, because there

occupied the house on the northwest
corner of F and Twentieth streets.
Two grandsons occupy prominent po-
sitions today in the financial life of
America. One, George L. Harrison,
is governor Of the Federal Reserve
Bank Of New York. The other, Ray

Always referred to by his contem-

took much interest in the Western

ately known to the neighborhood as

Edwards in his sermon as "a rather

The dignified old Colonial home on
the northwest corner of Eighteenth
and F streets was originally owned by
the Carols Of Carrolton. Later it be-
came the home Of John Marshall, first
Chief Justice of the United States.
Many years afterward this same prop
erty was bought and remodeled in
keeping with its earlier traditions by
another Chief Justice of the United
States, Melville w. Fuller.

likely that many Of these old homes
will have disappeared, to be replaced

Washington University Is illustrative
OF the truth that scholarship and
teaching are not dependent upon
bricks and mortar or stained glass

the university envisage arising on the

when he re-arrested Wayne Higginbotham Tuesday

Nogales international and brought to close an un-
pleasant incident that put both the party responsible
FOR the tomato hurting and this paper to considerable

ment', he said.
