Shortly after the start of the
session Katzmarek arose to object
to outside counsel being retained
for King and Schmahl, declaring
that the attorney general is the
rightful legal aid of state officials
and that it was contrary to the
statutes to engage attorneys at
the expense of the state. He add
ed, however, if the two state Of
ficials had employed the attorneys
for their personal defense at their
own expense the objection would
be withdrawn. The matter was
temporarily set aside.
Interest Questioned
Katzmarek broadening on his
objection said that the state audit
or and the state treasurer were
not directly interested parties to
the proceedings but only nominal
parties not interested in the mer-
its or outcome of the suit who were
included only to prevent execution
of the transaction between the
highway department and Mrs. Ap-
pleton.
Barnard, Kings attorney, broke
in to say that his client and Sch
mahl are interested parties to the
proceedings and are guarding the
interests of the state and its tax
payers. King later in presenting
his stand to the judge stated, Il
am here in my personal defense
and to execute the constitutional
authority Of my office.
Bundle, continuing the present
alton of the highway departments
case, reviewed the construction
activities of the new Redwood
bridge and the relocation of high
way 19, leading up to the origin
al damage appraisal of $4,000. He
said that the appeal was made to
the appraisal because the highway
department saw fit to acquire the
property for $4,000 and have the
Appleton dwelling removed in or
der to do away with the blind cor
ner which the building causes and
improve visibility from the bridge
onto Minnesota street, rather than
receive no substantial benefits
from the payment of the damages.
He pointed out that the state
legislature has delegated to the
discretion of the highway commits
sioner the authority to acquire
land or buildings for right-of- way
purposes by purchase, gift or con-
demnation according to his discre-
ton.
''Elsberg Not Monarch"
"The Appleton property was ac-
quired at price that met with
the discretion of the highway COM
missioner" Bundle added, "and it
is not the place of the court or the
taxpayers to question his deci-
sions."
English, answering the de-
fense's remarks, claimed that the
highway commissioner, "is not
the monarch of all he surveys and
that when any public office tries
to spend money it has no legal
right to spend, then it is the tax
payers business"
English said that his side pro-
posed to show that Mrs. Appleton
advertised her house for sale for
from $4,000 to $500 and that her
total compensation would amount
to between $4,000 and $11,50O.
Following English's remark
concerning fraud and collusion
Katzmarek asked the court for a
continuation of the proceedings
until a future date in order that
Judge Emerson might study the
briefs of the highway department
in connection with the negotia-

Dudley, who might have made music
his profession if he had not taken holy
orders, sang offertory solos. On
Christmas day, 1912, DR.. Dudley
preached to a congregation Of over
500 in the large stone church, which
had been completed with an impos-
ing Norman Tower during the pre-
vious Spring.
COLUMBIA HEIGHTS grew in such
~ proportions that by 1925 1t re-
CURED its own bushes section. The
last of the Fourteenth street homes
were being crowded out by stores.
This rapid commercial development
forced the congregation Of st. Ste
phen's to select more suitable neigh
borhood for its church.
The Parish of the Incarnation.
which had planned to unite with st.
Stephens, held its last service in
its church at Twelfth and N streets
northwest on Christmas morning
1925. For exactly 58 years the con-
gregation had worshiped in its ivy
covered stone church, for on Christ
mas, 1867, the first service was held
there. During DR.. Dudley's minis
try the diocese has conferred many
honors upon him.
AS president of the Standing Com
mittee for Is years and as member
of the Board Of Examining Chaplains
for IS years he has done important
work. His membership on the Com
mittee on Canons has made him &C
tive at diocesan conventions, in which
he has been prominent for many
years. Since 1925 he has been deputy
Of the general convention.
In order that DR.. Dudley's good
work may be continued, campaign
has been organized to raise $45,0o0.
Not only is the parish Of st. Stephens
and the Incarnation making every
effort to raise this fund as a tribute
to DR.. Dudley, but members OF the
Episcopal Church throughout the do
cese are giving their time and sup
port to the project. The whole do
cese will honor DR.. Dudley at lunch
con on Tuesday, December 20, when
members representing all parishes
will be present. On that occasion
the Right Rev. James E. Freeman.
D. D. LII. D., bishop Of Washington,
will be the speaker.

MOT one Of the defenders Of the
Alamo escaped alive. Several; at
the last moment, attempted flight, but
with the exception Of one who hid
himself under a small bridge, where
he was detected and later executed,
all were killed. Even after all resist

who were found concealed in the

the first Christmas service celebrated
by DR.. Dudley that year came from
the a families on the church regis
ter. A small Sunday school Of about
so members sang the carols "Once
in Royal David's City" and "Hark,
the Herald Angels Sing" at their
festival.
BY the next Christmas the parish
had many new members. for this out
lying section of Washington was
building up. The "Hill" was chang
ing. Pavements and rows of brick
houses were displacing the daisy fields
and the woods popular in the nutting
season. Columbia Heights was rap
idly developing. When DR.. Dudley
conducted his Christmas services that
year it was with the realization that
his growing congregation would wor-
ship the next Christmas in a larger
edifice, with ample seating capacity.
A new church was under construc-
ton. Though parish funds did not
warrant its completion, the first half
was built and furnished in time for
services on Easter day, 1895. For
seven years the choir Of men and
boys of St. Stephens Church sang
their Christmas anthems in that por-
ton of the new church. Often DR..

the fort.
The chapel was the last point taken,
and here the carnage was awful. The
body Of David Crockett. who no doubt
exacted great toll in life before he
died, according to some authorities,
was found in the west battery, and
Bowie, ere he passed away, enfeebled
as he must have been, shot down, it
is said, more than one of his assail-
ants before he was butchered where
he lay critically i'll.
The enemy, now In possession Of
the fort, trained the guns to fire into
the door Of the church, and here the
last struggle was indeScribably fierce
1there was no quarter asked and no
quarter given. For years only part
Of the roof over the chapel existed,
and this condition facilitated access
by scaling ladders and, to repel the
invaders, the Texans sought places Of
vantage toward the top Of the struc-
ture. On account Of this elevated
position some Of the dead Mexican
soldiers were found to be shot in the
crown Of the head. after the engage
ment.
A spectacular event, which occurred
as affairs in the chapel had reached
a crisis, was when Lieut.. Dickinson,
with his child In his arms-or tied to
his back, as some say-leaped from
the embrasure Of the mission and both
were riddled with bullets. To quote
Potter again: "Of those left behind
him. the bayonet soon cleaned what
the bullet had left, and in the upper
part of that edif1ce the last defender
must have fallen. The morning breeze
