had been living apart for years, had
jointly purchased an automobile and
the license presented was for that
machine. Mrs. Wells resides at the
Sherman avenue address. Wells per-
sonal drivers license, showing that
he resides at the Fourth street ad-
dress, was put in evidence.
MacCracken told the committee
that Wells right to sit as a precinct
delegate in the Republican State Con-
vention was challenged and that a
Credentials Committee had passed on
the contest and declared Wells in

Counsel for the Colladay faction
retorted that the contest against
Wells had been called to their at
tention only four hours before the
meeting of the precinct delegates was
held and that it was based largely
on the affidavits Of two colored clergy
men, Rev. Henry H. w. Spriggs and
Rev. L. R. Frayser. The Colladay
faction later obtained af1davits from
both of these clergymen stating that
their information as to Wells resi-
dence was "hearsay," In the case Of
Spriggs, and IN the case Of Frayser
due to the face that he had seen
Wells going in and out of Wells
wifes home on Sherman avenue.
Finally, Colladay himself presented
to the national committee an af1-
davit given on June 2 by Frayser
saying that he had received SIS for
making the original AFFIDAVIT used by
the Rover faction. He did not say
who paid the money in the affidavit,
but recanted his original affidavit.
MacCracken in rebuttal said that
Frayser had made -four affidavits,

he added: What Of itP"

Justice Salvatore A. Cotillo Of the
New York State Supreme Court, knight
commander Of the Crown of Italy,
writes President Roosevelt urging rec
ognition of Ethiopia las annexed to
italian territory" In an interesting
sequence of logic, Justice Cotillo notes
that no war against Ethiopia was ever
declared and that the President Gre
ated the state of belligerency." He,
therefore. urges that the President
may and should put an end to some
thing entirely of his own devising. In
behalf of a realistic attitude" he
urges that neutrality legislation be set
aside.
Justice Cotillo, born in Naples and
former attorney for the Bank of
Naples, has been an able and dili2ent
defender of II Duce's Ethiopian out
reach ever since it started. In letters
to newspapers. in public addresses and
statements, in an appeal to Secretary
Hull and now to the President. he
pleads for a sympathetic understand

He has been on the Supreme Court
bench since 1928 Previously he was
State Senator, given a high rating
by the Citizens Union A few years
ago Mussolini snatched back the prof.
ferred Cross of St. Maurizio, on the

provincial strong man who
leads South China into a
war with Japan. Dominant
in his region since 1881, a trained
military leader and a member OF the
Central Executive Committee Of the
Kuomintang, ne has urged Chinese
unity against Japan, and, failing to
bring 1t about, starts his own resistance.
His armies march north and q blase
world turns a tired eye toward one
more war.
Gen. Chen, wealthy and cultured, Is
an oddity among Chinese military
careertsts, since, to considerable ex-
tent, he bank-rolls his own wars.
-Four years ago, battling Admiral Chan
Chak for Cantonese dominion, he
tossed in 100000 gold to equip his
men, and a few weeks afterward
chased Chan Chak to Europe.
The battle Of the Port of Macao,
rs miles south of Canton, would have
screened nicely. Chan had a navy.
consisting mostly of gun boats. and
Chen's men didn't even have rubbers.
They couldn't get together and it
seemed the engagement would have to
be called of, but the resourceful Chen
found a way.

WHEN the statue was unveiled, on
w January 8, 1853, the thirty-eighth
anniversary of the battle of New Or
the Little Giant" of Illinois-a politi-
cal opponent of Abraham Lincoln and
one of the two Democratic candidates
for the presidency in 1860, whom the
great Lincoln defeated-delivered the
Grafton, in which he made the follow
ing statements, which are well worth
knowing and remembering. He said:
1.-THE statue before you is the work
Of a man exalted by his enthusiasm
for the glorious deeds and wise acts
Of hero and statesman. It is the
work Of an untaught American. I
cannot call him an artist. He never
studied nor copied. He never saw an
equestrian statue, nor even a model.
It is the work of inborn genius,
aroused to energy by the triumphant
spirit of liberty which throbs In the
great heart of our ontinent-which
creates the power of great concep-
tions, the aspiration and the will, the
mental faculty and the manual skill,
to eternize the actors who ennoble
the country, by giving their forms
and expressions to imperishable mate
rials.
Proudly may we compare to the
equestrian statues of Europe, that
noble Roman figure which preserves
the form and features Of our hero,
and that colossal warhorse in bronze
which will bear him in glory through
future agesl I have seen delineations
of the equestrian statues of Peter the
Great, of Frederick the Great and of
the Duke of wellington, which are
esteemed, I believe. the best speci-
mems of that description Of sculpture
that modern Europe has been able to
contribute to her collection Of works
of art.

cabinet: Gen. Scott. commander in
chief of the Army; the quartermaster
and adjutant generals and numerous
officers of the Army and Navy. A
capacious and elevated stand was pre-
pared near the statue for the accom-
mediation of the orator and distin-
guished guests. A range Of gallery
seats was erected for the accommoda-
ton of ladies.
The exercises at the statue were
opened with a prayer by Rev. DR..
Butler of Trinity Church. when
Stephen A. Douglass was introduced
and delivered his address. and after it
was concluded the sculptor and con-
tractor, Clark Mills, was brought for
ward and presented to the assembly
and was enthusiastically cheered. The
statue was then uncovered and the
roar of the artillery announced this
fact. The proceedings we're then pro-
nounced concluded by the president Of
the Jackson Democratic Association,
under whose auspices the proceedings
were held.

May 20, 1880, which, in itself seems
to be a refutation to the claim by
some that it lacks sufficient merit to
remain in Lafayette Park
Back in December, 1852, we find
this expression of approval: I'm the
open square, opposite the Presidents
house, is about to be placed the
equestrian statute Of Jackson in
bronze. This work is remarkable not
only for its excellence, but from the
fact that 1t is the first piece Of stat
uary Of any magnitude, in this mate
rial, that has ever been cast in this
country"
The late s. H. Kaufman, writing
on Equestrian Statuary in Washing
ton" says of the Jackson statue:
Few things are easier to do or
more commonly done than finding
fault; and it has been considered
quite the thing to harshly criticise this
work. Indeed, it has been the habit
of some would-be wits to allude to it
as being pretty much everything that
work of art should not be. But
notwithstanding all adverse opinions,
the group is yet not without consider
able merit. Unfortunately it lacks
the size necessary to give it due i'm
pressiveness; but not a few admirers
and excellent judges Of the horse have
maintained that the noble animal is
admirably represented in this group"
Miss Leila Mechlin, in her Art
Life in Washington" adds her tribute,
saying:
He" (referring to Mills) undertook
the commission and succeeded, not
only in pleasing those who ordered
the statue but in producing, under the
most difficult circumstances, a statue
which possesses decorative quality Of
a rather high order and is much more
deserving of commendation than the
ridicule which it commonly receives.
1t was, as one of our contemporary
sculptors has said, an attempt OF
surprising audacity.'"
And, so, the concentrations might
be extended indefinitely.
The jackson Democratic Club was
originally the jackson Central Com
mittee, when formed in 1928, and Gen.
John P. Van Ness, who married Mar
| cia Burnes, was the chairman. In
| 1882, through the efforts Of this club,
Gen. Van Ness. John H. Brent and
Henry NJ. Morfit were elected dele
gates from this city to the first con-
vention of the Democratic party, held
in Baltimore in 1882, when Martin
Van Buren was nominated for Vice
President on the ticket with Andrew
jackson. This was voting delega-
ton. a privilege not accorded the
District again until years later.
p ATHER coincidence is that An
drew Jackson Downing, a dis
tinguished landscape gardener and an
interesting pioneer writer on both
horticultural and pomological subjects
and a namesake Of President Jack
son, should, few years after the gen.
erals death, be called upon to lay
out and improve the park where "Old
Hickory's" statue was to be placed.
Downing came here in 1851, at the
invitation of President Fillmore, for
the purpose Of laying out the Mall
Evening star., 1936-04-19

and some of the parks. This par
ticularly included the Smithsonian
grounds, the grounds back Of the
White House and Lafayette Park.
Downing died July %, 1852, and the
work was evidently carried on by w.
D. Breckenridge, the botanist of the
Wilkes expedition of 1858 and by that
celebrated horticulturist, John Saul,
ancestor of the Saul family Of this
city.
Mr.. Saul was a native Of Ireland,
having been born in Careys Wood,
Castlemartyr, County Cork, on Christ
mas day, 1919, and died in his old
home at his nursery May II, 1897.
In some notes which he wrote of his
coming to this country he spoke of
his part in beautifying the parks of
Washington and refers to Lafayette
Park He says:
