BY stan Correspondent Of The Star.

The bonds will be used for sewer and

An investigation of the operation
of the Sanitary Commission by the
House Grand Inquest Committee was
one of the features of the 1885 legis-
lative session. Delegate Joseph A.
Cantrel of Montgomery County. who
sponsored the resolution which con-
stituted the basis for the probe,
charged among other things that the
commission had outstanding bond
issues amounting to more than IA
per cent Of the assessed value OF the
property in the sanitary district,
which would be in violation of the
law.
T. Howard Duckett, chairman OF
the commission showed the commit

WHEN former HOUSE LedueT
M Frank w Mondell (of Wy

Washington for AZ years,

of Congress-reminiscen were in
order, and the gathering developed

Senator and Mrs. Joseph c. O'Ma-
honey talso of Wyoming)-he was
born in Chelsea and she in Win
chester, MaSs.-talked over the old
days in the Bay State with Mrs.
Katherine Gillespie Imbrie OF Con-
stantinople and Teheran, who was
born in New Bedford, Mass.
Representative Paul R. Greever, the
new Democratic member of the House
from Wyoming, former mayor OF
Cody, recalled DR.. John E. Osborne,
the only Democrat who preceded him
as member of Congress from
Wyoming. DR.. Osborne was educated
in the University of Vermont, was
mayor of Rawlins, Wyo., and Gov
ernor of the State before he came to
Congress. Later. he was First Assist
ant Secretary of State from 1913 to
1917. The doctor is now II years old
and Greever had letter from him
last week-from the Fiji Islands.
When DR.. Osborne was elected Gov
ernor in 1892 he had to take the office
by force, being obliged to climb into
Office through window.
Acting House Leader Edward T.
Taylor of Colorado, with back
ground of 27 years in the House, is
newcomer compared with Mr.. Mon
dell, who antedated him by IA years.
Mr.. Mondell considers as probably
| the greatest honor of his career his
18-minute speech notifying Calvin
Coolidge of his election to the preSi-
dency. 1t was, Mr.. Mondell said, the
only speech he ever made in which
he knew every word and its infection
and where every exclamation point
belonged One of his most romantic
"reminiscences was Of his early days
as a Republican candidate when he
went to a small country town and q
beautiful and vivacious girl of about
l6, who was an ardent Democrat, drove
him around the countryside in a
buckboard-she is now the brilliant
and cultured Mrs. Minna S. Adams,
1910 Connecticut avenue.
Mr.. Mondell was born in st. Louis,
Mo-, November 6, 1859-the day that
Lincoln was first elected President.
An orphan at the age of 7, he went
to live with the family of a Congre-
gational minister at Monona, Iowa,
and later on homestead farm 100
miles from a railroad. At 18 he
started his wanderings in search of
fame and fortune by being valet to a
shipment of cattle-Chicago-b
MIR. Mondell built the town OF
Newcastle, Wyo., where he made his
home for many years. He was its
first mayor and still carries a As
caliber bullet he stopped when en-
forcing the law in that rather tenn
pestuous frontier town. He was one
of the best shots who ever came to
Congress, but that time he stood as
target without shooting back-and
the culprit later became one of his
best friends.
While in Congress Mr.. Mondell was
known as one of the hardest workers
on any committee. At all times he
was meticulous to preserve the dig
nifty of his Office as House leader and
was most careful in his selection of
words and phrases.
He was offered at least one position
in the cabinet and could have been
