Dermott fired a revolver, from
which Cleary later found three

four ran to their car parked
nearby, Of which Ernest Myers was
the driver, and drove to Washing

Domestic Politics Joins
Ethiopian Turmoil AS
Basis Of Fears

PARIS, May S G.N.S0.-With
Premier Albert Sarraut in a grave
dilemma as a result Of the leftist
victory at the polls. the French
cabinet was summoned to meet
this afternoon to consider impor-
tant decisions on foreign policy in
view Of Ethiopian developments
and on measures to protect the
franc.
Rejecting the gravity Of the sit
uation 1t was understood Sarraut
at a ministerial council meeting
tomorrow will inform President
Lebrun that he intends to resign
May 81 in consequence of the
popular front election victory. al
though yesterday the premier was
represented as determined to re-
main at his post and state his case
before the new Chamber Of Deput-
ties.
At this afternoons meeting the
French cabinet viii, be faced with
vital questions concerning the
stand to be taken by France at
Geneva May II when the League
Of Nations Council meets and con-
corning strict financial measures
to protect the franc.
French statesmen insist imme-
date decisions must be made on
these points, but it was noted that
the Sarraut cabinet now repre-
sents q minority in the new
Chamber Of Deputies. It was
also pointed out that it would
be illegal and unprecedented for
the victorious popular front" to
take over the government before
expiration Of the present regimes
term on May 81.
It is believed a compromise will
be effected by having Sarraut
remain in office but maintain
constant consultation with "popu-
lar front" leaders before making
any decisions. In view of this
situation, it is understood, Sar-
raut will inform President Lebrun
Of his impending resignation.

Democratic Test

SAN FRANCISCO. May 5 GIN.
S0.-California went to the polls
today in a presidential preference
primary that has excited more in
terest among the voters than any
other in the past 20 years.
In the 11,7OS precincts record
breaking number turned out to
cast ballots, drawn by the battle
for the Republican delegation
waged between advocates OF Gov.
ALI M. Landon Of Kansas and an
"uninstructed" slate for District
Attorney Earl Warren of Alameda
county.
LandOn FavOrite
The later slate is a Hoover group,
although political observers claim
warren, If he wins here, Will climb
on the Landon bandwagon after
the first ballot at Cleveland.
The Landon delegation Is q
slight favorite to win over the
Warren group. Only the two are
conteSting on the Republican side
for CALIFORNIA; A delegates.
President Roosevelt Is experienc-
ing little opposition for the Demo
cratic delegation. He IS a 10-to-1
favorite.
Two states oppose him. One is
for Upton Sinclair, the wrtter-pol1-
tician who stirred up q hornets
nest in California two years ago
with his race for governor on an
EPIC platform. The other prefers
Representative John Steven NC
Groarty, the poet and friend OF
the Townsend old-age plan.
For months the contest between
the Landon enthusiasts and the
Warren.Hoover loyaliStS has been
waged from one end Of the State
to the other, particularly in the
centers of population, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, oakland and Sacra'
mento.

after making his fatal mistake.
"Dory' Nelson, as we used to call
him, from then on conducted the
business for many years, and when
suffcieitly old enough joined the
Oldest Inhabitants. and died during
the past year.
One Of the most noted landmarks
that stood on Ninth street-or sub
stantialy so, at least. since it stood
on the site now occupied by the
Public Library-was the old Northern
Liberty Market, which was destroyed
on September 3, 1872, by order of
the Board of Public Works. which was
forced to act promptly because Of
tnminence Of injunction proceedings.
Like the Center Market and the
Western Market, the ground upon
which the Northern Liberty Market
stood belonged to the Government.
and it, removal was sought for the
purpose of improving the looks OF
the neighborhood. Perhaps the ma
jority of us only recall this site as
beautiful park, inclosed with chain
fence and with a magnificent fountain
in the center, but no doubt there are
many who can remember the old
market that once stood there, made
up of two or more brick and wooden
buildings.
The writer's esteemed friend, Wash
ington Topham, who died few years
ago and who has written entertain
ingly on the subject, is more specific
in his description Of the market build
ings, and says:
The market, wnen first erected,
was small brick structure on the
west line of Seventh street, when it
was opened in 1846, but it was after
ward enlarged by the addition OF a
similar one-story brick building on
the south side and did duty as the

market place for the northern section
of the city till under the Board Of
Public Works, in 1872. it was razed."
NATURALLY, just as today, the
merchants did not care to leave
their stands, where they had an es-
tablished trade. for a place elsewhere.
which could be only reculative at
the most. But the sa4dest part OF
the removal of the structures was the
accident which caused the deaths Of
two persons by the falling of brick
wall. One was butcher with a stand
in the market, while the other was
boy whose only excuse for being
present was that he had good rat
dog and wanted to see him work real
hard.
OF this accident The Star Of Sep
tember says:

work to remove the debris and in
about Is minutes reached the bodies
of Widmayer and Bates, who were
found to be crushed terribly and
quite dead. The head CT Widmayer
was smashed into a shapeless and un-
recognizable mass and several of his
limbs were broken and crushed. The
injuries received by young Bates were
mainly about the body, his neck and
back being broken. He had also re-
ceived a frightful confusion on the
left side of the forehead.
THE body of Widmayer was car
ried to the undertaking establishment
of Mrs. Freize, on Seventh street just
above the market, and that of the

lad, Bates, to the sixth precinct sta
ton house. The father of the latter,
Mr.. z. H. Bates, who for long time
has been a justice Of the peace in
this city. soon appeared at the sta
ton house, nearly frantic. and was at
once admitted TO the room where his
dead child was lying. when he gave
vent TO his grief in the most touching
cries and lamentations.
"Widmayer was a German and lived
on the Seventh Street road, beyond the
boundary. He had had stall in the
market for several years past and was
generally esteemed an excellent citi-
zen. The unfortunate man leaves a
wife and six or seven children TO
mourn their loss"
THE wooden block streets of Wash
ington proved a failure and they
were removed in a few years, when
the blocks were carted away by the
needy families Of the city. who used
them for firewood-which proves once
again that 1t Is an i'll wind that blows
nobody any good.
The writer recalls the removal Of
the blocks on Ninth street, since he
lived nearby. He also has vivid recol-
lections of the circus grounds. be-
tween s and T streets, and where was
later Athletic Park, the professional
base ball grounds, and where Buffalo
Bill gave exhibitions and where the
early bicycle races were run. Michael
Braum's truck garden occupied the
square TO the south, between r and S
streets, and his stand was in the Gen.
ter Market.
The Ninth and S Streets Public
School also brings fond recollections
and quite often the writer meets j,
Walter Humphrey or some Of the 9TH
er boys who went there years ago. 1t

but after the structure was given up
by Grace NJ. e. Church many years

was Dr. Reinlein's clerk and successor
at the P street store. and James T.
Eslin was the clerk at the U street
store.
THE writer well recalls Dr.. Reinlein
anu his unfortunate death, which
occurred at the P street store. He was
an unusually fine man, strictly busi-
nesslike. and in every way a good
citizen. He was not man who drank
to excess, and probably never took
liquor except as a medicine, and yet
the attempt to take a drink was
primarily the cause of his death,
which probably happened sometime
around 1887.
It seems that DR.. Reinlein, feeling
he needed stimulant, took from off
the shelf what he thought to be the
whisky or brandy bottle, which, how
ever, proved to be aconite. However,
Immediately after it had passed his
lips and he had swallowed it, he
realized his mistake and took an
emetic, and sent Nelson, the clerk,
across the street for DR.. Winter, but
it seems the drug had paralyzed his
