of which we have personal knowl-
edge surely bring back fond recol-
lections, and to some degree the
same is true Of pictures which may
be even older than we are our
selves, as happened to be the case recently,
when the writer chanced to pick up group
photograph Of the governors Of the Metropoli-
tan Club Of this city, made in 1866
Indeed, to an old-timer 1t was interesting,
since it contained likenesses Of "a of WASH
lngton's most prominent men of that time.
OF course, few Of the foremost were not
there when the picture was taken, but after
reading over the names no doubt you will agree
that they were some Of our leading citizens.
The group includes Franklin Philip, Lewis Gle
phane, p. p. Stanton, w. Hemphill Jones,
John s. Cunningham Edward Jordan, c. M.
Walker, H McCulloch w. B. Webb, W. H.
Wilton, G. H. w. Meehan, r. s. Atkinson, s. H.
Kaufman, Fred 8. Cozzens, George e. Baker,
b. b. French, e. B. French, S. York At-Iee,
John L. Graham, George w. Riggs, John M.
Brodhead and Henry D. Cooke.
Franklin Philip was Of the firm Of Philip q
6olomons, which at that time kept the Metro
politan Book Store on Pennsylvania avenue
between Ninth and Tenth streets. Lewis Gle
phane was the collector of internal revenue;
z. p. Stanton, undoubtedly intended for Fred
erick p. Stanton, was then practicing law in
Washington. He was born in Alexandria, then
In the District Of Columbia, in 1914, and grad
mated in this city from old Columbian College
fnow George Washington University, prob
ably in 1888; taught school for awhile and
Later studied law, was admitted to the bar
and went to Memphis. Tenn, to practice his
profession. From there he was returned a
member Of Congress in 1845, and continued to
represent his home town, Memphis, in the
House Of Representatives until 1855. In 1858
he became Governor Of Kansas Territory and
continued as such until 1861. After this he
practiced law in Washington, and subsequently
moved to Virginia and then to Florida, where
be died in 1894

In North fl Years.

Bishop Crimont has been carrying on missionary work in Alaska for Al years, having been put in charge of the mission at Holy Cross in 1894 He recalled today his first visit to Fairbanks, which was in 1904
 About the only frame building here then was the courthouse, he said. Most of the dwellings were tents. I remember that on the 4th of July they cleared off a space so they could have a procession in the town, said the Bishop
 Tells of Matanuska Colony.
 On his way north the Bishop vis- tied the Matanuska farm settlement where Father Francis Merrill Sulz- man is in charge of the Catholic Church work. In giving his impress sions of the colony today he said: I found much confusion there, as they arc behind on the schedule of work that was planned That is why a certain number of the colon ists began to fret and worry. They are afraid that they won't have suit able buildings constructed before winter comes, and that the school building will not be completed on time.
 A plan like that is a great under taking and needs to be thought out well beforehand. l think that the details were not prepared long eno- ugh before the actual work was be- gun. However, no one is to blame. It has just been hurried too much.
 Well-Digging Problem
 What puzzles the settlers is the problem of securing water. The Matanuska River is a glacier stream that is full of silt. Digging of the wells is slow. In some places wat CT is reached at a depth of 12 feet, and on other farms they have driven down as much as 50 feet without find

l have no criticism to make of the work there. The officials show a desire to serve, and the farmers are doing the best they can. The trouble is that they do not have enough time, which results in a lack of coordination. Eugene Carr, ar rived at Palmer from Washington, D.

 Satisfaction and optimism, hoWev- CT. IS the general attitude of the far mers
 Some of the farm sections allotted were not good because they were selected from a map and not all of the ground was inspected first.
 The families have all they need, as they can get any supplies they want from the commissary. No mon- ey is involved in the transactions, as each family has an account of S3,0OO from which the purchases are subtracted. My guess is that the government will have to add anoth- CT 5000 for each family, for hom- es with or 10 children in them need a lot of food. Their farm imple- ments are borrowed from the admin is'ration at the colony center. Some of the colonists say the goods are too high. They are not accustomed to Alaska prices, and they see their ac- counts shrinking too fast.

GREYHOUND'S
GREAT r ACE
HELD CLASSIC

NEW YORK, Aug. is. U.P -
Greyhound, an almost unbelievably
speedy, spindly-legged, gray-flecked
animal, was hailed by harness horse
men today as the trotter of the
year and rated by many students
of the sport as the greatest stand
ard-bearer of all time.
This magnificent horse unques-
tionably is the stand-out Of more
than a decade. Owned by E. j.
Baker of ST. Charters, H., and given
a great drive by Sep Palm, Grey
hound yesterday captured the clas-
sic Hambletonian. In doing so, he
registered two notable feats. One
was establishing a Hambletonian
mile record for a winner Of the
classic The other was the fact that
for the first time since 1929 the
race that is the Kentucky Derby
and the Grand National of the har-
ness nags was determined in straight
heats.
Greyhound's mark for the first
heat was 2.02h, bettering the rec
ord for a, mile by a winner, estab-
Iished at 2.0212, by Spencer in 1928.
The fastest Hambletonian mile was
the 2;01h achievement of Holly
wood Dennis in winning one of the
heats in 1892.

BAT TIE. |. OF ICE:
OMIT TED FROM
HISTORY BOOKS

LAKESIDE, O., Aug. IS. U.R) -
One of the most unusual incidents
in the history of this section. and
one overlooked by historians, was
recounted by Chandled D. Knapp,
85, Brooklyn, Mich, a native of
Marblehead near here, on a recent
visit.
This was the "Battle of the Ice"
in which British cavalrymen clash
ed with Canadian Patriots" on the
frozen ice fields of Lake Erie dur
ing the winter of 1897. The "Pa-
triots" at that time we're struggling
to liberate Canada from the moth
er country.
According to Knapp, the Mar
blehead peninsula and the nearby
Lake Erie islands offered a rem
devious for many of the patriots"
during the uprising.
Organized by a Colonel Bradley,
the people marched out on the ice
regularly to raid Pelee Island and
the Canadian mainland, where they
pillaged homes, seized supplies and
stole horses which later we're sold
to mainland residents at trifling
prices.
On March 4, 1887, as a party of
nearly 200 patriots" neared the
Canadian boundary on one of their
forays, they were met by body
of British cavalry. Hastily throw
ing up a barricade OF ice, the raid
ing party began firing on the SOL
diers. After few exchanges of
shots, they began to retreat across
the ice toward Kelleys Island.
They were pursued by the cav
alrymen and only escaped serious
losses when thin ice forced the
horsemen back to the Canadian
shores. Five men were killed on
each side.

NeuU Symphony
Is Inspired By
Morr71on'S Trek

FONTAINEBLEAU, France, Aug.
Is. WP)-Evangeline Lehman, of De-
troit, who has been studying mu-
sical composition for several years
at the American conservatory here,
has finished a new symphony
based ON the Mormon journey
across America. She calls her SYM
phony, "The Journeys End"
Miss Lehman treats this famous
journey of the Mormons, not as a
religious event, but as a great hu-
man achievement and an out
standing event in the history of
America. She attempts in the mu-
sic to show the courage, the sacri-
flee and the ultimate triumph of
the Mormon pioneers in the his
toric exodus of 1846 from Illinois
to Utah.
The American musician has Gre
ated several compositions which
have been well received. She is
versatile in her field her first COM
positions being lullabieS and juve-
nile songs; then an oratorio, "Sainte
Therese of Lisieux," which has been
performed in Paris, Caen, Rouen
and San Francisco; this was fol-
lowed by christmas Night which
was presented Christmas eve at the
church of st. Eustache in Paris.
"T'he Journeys End" was devel-
oped from material which Miss
Lehman gathered last spring when
she took an automobile trip
through Wyoming, Montana, Utah
and other western states, where
many of the Mormon faith still re-
side. The new symphony will be
presented in the United States in
September.

MADISON, Wis. Aug. IS. UP) -
DR.. William S. Middleton, newly ap-
pointed dean of the University of
Wisconsin medical school, has Il
collection Of brown derbies which
he has worn in the classroom.
AS professor of medicine here,
he was almost as well known TO
his classes for his brown derbies
as he was for his important re-
search into diseases Of the blood
and its circulation.
Fer the last several years each
incoming junior class of the med
ical school has purchased a brown
derby and presented it to DIR.

nies. He has worn each hat in the
classroom, but not for long.
The first student who pulled a
boner" had the derby placed upon
his head lie wore it in class un-
til some other student earned it by
poor recitation. Each inscribed his
name upon the hat before he
passed it on. At the end of the
year it returned to the professor
with a practically complete roster
Of the class upon it.
The 45-year-old dean was born
in Norristown, Pa, received his
medical degree from the Univer-

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
BY United Press

Shaking off the slump which had
cost them eight defeats in their
last II starts, the San Francisco
Seals challenged anew today for
the Pacific Coast league leadership
they had held through most of the
second half campaign.
One game out of first place, the
Seals appeared an entirely differ
ent team from the lackadaiSical
outfit of the last two weeks as
they prepared to take the field
against their toughest rivals, those
powerful Angels from Los Angeles.
The Seals came out of the dol
drums with an 81 victory over the
Angels last night. 1t wasn't so much
the victory as the way they played
the game which aroused new hopes
among thier supporters. Gone was
the lethargy which reached a peak
Sunday when three base runners
were caught asleep off first base
at Sacramento. In it's place was a
heads-up brand of ball.
Win Ballou, Seal righthander,
chalked up his sixteenth victory il
holding the Angels to five hits,
The Missions kept full game
ahead of the Seals by defeating
Oakland 1914, for the second
straight time.
Walter Beck fulfilled half of
Gabby Streets expectations of two
victories this series by setting the
Oaks back with eight hits for his
eighteenth win of the campaign.
Seattle bounded back into the
race on the strength of the best
pitching performance of the en-
tire second-half campaign, a one
hit victory hurled by Big Pete Dag
lia, Indian southpaW, against Sac
ramento. The score was 20.
Pete didn't allow anything re-
sembling a base hit until the
eighth when Bill Salkeld, young
Senator catcher, laced his fast ball
for single. Tt was Sacramento's
only safety and it cheated the big
southpaw of a chance to enter the
sacred circle of no-hit, no-run per
formers.
Portland also kept close to the
pace-setting Missions by defeating
Hollywood 30, and returning to
third place.
Seven-hit pitching by Hobo Car
son, who used to do his stuff on
Texas college campuses, and a bat
ting rally in the fourth that sent

FALL RANCH
To De SOLD

| LOS ANGELES, Aug. Is. UP) -
Arrangements were complete for
| the sale of the ranch of Albert
| Fall, former secretary of the in
terror, except for the abstract Of
| title, R. M Sands of the Petroleum
Securities Corporation said today.
Everything is set for the SALE"
Sands said. I'VE are just waiting
! for the abstract of title
Sands said sale of the property
acquired by the corporation about
four years ago through a mortgage
foreclosure, to the Tres Ritos cat
tie company, probably should be
conSummated today.
I'VE think our title to the pro-
perty is perfect and the sale will 60
through as soon as we get the alb
stract, probably today" Sands said.
Commencing on reports from
Three Rivers, N. M, that Fall
would fight to the last court to
hold possession of his home, Sands
said he knew of no recourse Fall
might have.
1--WE had hoped he would get out
at our request, but if not, we will
take the necessary legal steps to
protect our own interests" Sands
declared. I'VE had hoped this would
not be necessary"
Sands would not confirm reports
that E. L. Doheney, millionaire
head of the Petroleum Securities
company. was i'll and would not
participate in the sale.
"The property in three Rivers be-
longs to the Securities company
and we have operated it for the
last four years" Sands said. DO
heney never has had an active part
in the negotiations"
Sands would not reveal the con-
sideration to be paid by the Tres
Ritos company for the ranch.
