Guard of Diplomatic Gallery
Of House Marks 95th Birthday
William H. Young's
Alert Figure Familiar
to Foreign Enjoys.
BY III. X. BAUKHAGE.


As the controversy over age and its
tnfirmities and talk of new blood for
the body judicial continued in the
Capital, a cheerful little bearded man,
who yesterday celebrated his ninety
fifth birthday, took his post at the
door Of the diplomatic gallery of the
House today after having come from
his home under his own power He
was born April II, 1912.
William H. Youngs alert figure is
familiar to all of Washingtons foreign
diplomats, for it has been his job for
the last five years to examine their
credentials, if he didn't already recog-
nize them, and politely open the door
that they might enter and listen to
the debates of the House.
One way to live IS years and like it,
Young will tell you, is to go to war,
get captured and spend a term In
military prison, as he did in Anderson
vile
The explanation is simple: At An
dersonville-he spent seven months
there-there was considerable CONVEX
sation on the subject of diet. In fact,
about the only thing that was done
about diet was the talk. The absence
of food didn't kill Young, and the
plentitude Of thought ON the subject
has preserved him since, he says. Now
he doesn't talk about food any more.
But for more than half century he
has watched his diet pretty carefully
result, green old age and no regrets.
Refuses to Talk Politics.
Perhaps it Is long association with
the diplomats, or perhaps it Is Just
natural wisdom on his part, but Young
doesn't go in for a discussion of poll
tics. He doesn't even want anything
derogatory said about his old alma
mater Of Andersonville, for fear it
might Offend some Of the Southern
boys" And he positively won't say
whether he thinks Supreme Court
justices ought to retire at 10 or sign
up for another 25-year hitch when
they've reached that age, as he did.
But there's plenty he can tell, If he
wants to. He got his baptism of fire
with the 18TH Iowa Infantry along
with lot Of other cornhuskers from
Keokuk County and thereabouts at
the battle Of Pittsburg Landing
(Shiloh).
Later, at the siege of Atlanta,
Confederate sortie was attacking. The
18th, on one side of a road, was
holding its own. The 10Th, on the
other, wasn't. So part of the 18th,
Young among them, was sent to help
The next thing Young knew he heard
his captains voice saying, I've sur
rendered"
Young smashed his rife on a stump
and the war was over as far as he was
concerned.
But not the suffering.
That night they lay on the ground

"What'n you take" he asked, 40,
that comforter"
The guard was wrapped in q thick
quilt that had never been part Of army
equipment.
Have you got = knife2"
Young had. The deal was made
He got the comforter and kept it
till he was exchanged. He believes 1t
saved his life
But 1t isn't such experiences that
remain as the memories Of this genial
95-year-young Mr.. Young. He can
still thrill at the picture Of the boats
IN the river at st. Louis IS he did
when, in the first half Of the last
century, as boy OF IL, he trekked
westward from his Southern Indiana
birthplace to Iowa.
There wasn't much Chicago then, II
he remarks casually, with quick
little gesture that pushes back half q
century and virtually wipes a metrop-
oils OF the map-Chicago had been
incorporated by that time, OF course
but 1t was hardly of interest to the
west-bound traffic. Americas greatest
railroad center wasn't to see its first
railroad until six years later.
Made Trip BY Boat.
Young's father had made wagons
near Jeffersonville, Ind, and he had
seen q lot of his customers drive of
toward the Golden West in them
Perhaps that's how he got the fever
and perhaps, also, why he went by
boat. Anyhow that's what he did, via
st. Louis, and then up the Mississippi
to settle on rich acres in what is
now Keokuk County, Iowa.
Here the boy grew up and from
here he went of to the war to return
and became an active member of the
new community. He was merchant

have all you fellows in"
Meanwhile, his only advice for those
who wish to watch the world 60 by
Tor century, besides watching your
diet, is simple:
Keep breathing" And, with that
advice and a handshake, he turns
away to bow the French Ambassador
to his seat.

MAN IS JAILED,
BOY HOMELESS

Nine.year-old Wallace Lee Ak
selle wondered today what it was
all about, as he faced an indefi-
mite stay in the District Receiving
Home while authorities labored to
untangle the skein of events that
have placed his step-father in jail
and left him homeless.
The youngster was taken to the
Receiving Home last night when
detectives arrested the step-father,
Alex McPhee Gray, 48, of the 300
block g st. S. E., at the request
Of Prince Georges county authorl-
ties. The warrant charges Gray
with kidnapping the boy from the
Longfellow School on october "a
last.
Gray waived extradition today,
and was turned over to county
authorities pending a hearing on
the charge. He told police he had
received authorization for the act
from the boys mother.
Wallace was placed in the Mary
land boarding school by his father,
pending appeal of the court de-
cision awarding him custody of the
child.
The boy was removed to the
Gray home after the higher court
had denied the mothers appeal.

NUCKOLS LOSES
DISMISSAL MOVE
I'm GAMING CASE
Indictment Is Upheld
In Adkins Ruling

A three-point motion to quash
the indictment against Carroll P.
"Nubby" Nuckols and six others
on charges of violating the Dis
trict gaming laws was overruled
by Justice Jesse C. Adkins in the
United States District Court TO-
day.
Justice Adkins made his ruling
after opposing counsel for spent
an entire day in arguments and
testimony with the jury excused
from the courtroom
ATTACKED WARRANTS
It was claimed that the war
rants, issued under the Federal
espionage act, were void because
the espionage act pertains only to
Federal offenses. The indictment,
counsel claimed, had been based
on a specific section of the Dis
trict code.
Defense counsel further con-
tended that the affidavits support
ing the search warrants failed to
establish a probable cause of sus-
picion against the defendants, and
also that the warrants did not
give arresting officers the right to
seize certain personal property
that was taken from the defend
ants.
Nuckols himself testified in sup
port of the defense motions this
morning, declaring that although
he had once been a gambler, his
sole means of livelihood at the
time of his arrest was in the sale
and leasing of slot machines, a
number of which were in the 1880
Fourteenth st. gambling estab-
lishment which the defendants are
accused of operating.
Nuckols' presence in the. estab-
lishment at the time of the raid
last March 10 was merely to check
the operation of the slot machines
there, he said.
EXPLAIN PRESENCE
Justice Adkins gave his opinion
overruling the motion promptly at
the close Of arguments. He pointed
to several Court of Appeals de-
cisions which have held in sub
stance that offenses against the
code of the District of Columbia
are also offenses against the
United States, and that the war
rants were valid in that respect.
The jurist indicated that he was
not entirely certain that the affi-
davitS supporting the warrants re-
vealed sufficient probable cause
and deferred action on the third
point raised in the motion, inform
ing counsel that they might make
objections to the introduction in
evidence of seized property of the
defendants when Government
counsel submitted it.
The taking of testimony in the
case then was resumed.

ports Company and manager of
the Union Air Terminal, is ex-

him square things" for staying
out late.
Wright fell on a couch and slept
for a while. He awoke, he told
officers, and saw his wife and
Kimmel sitting on piano bench,
their arms around each other.
IT was dumbfounded," police
quoted him as saying. "I just
said: Well Evelyn turned and
looked at me. and smiled. She
kissed Johnny. I ran and got
gun and came in shooting. I
didn't aim at anybody. I just
fired"
Mrs. Wright died instantly with
four bullets in her body. Kimmel
died eight hours later in a hos
pital.
WIDOW COLLAPSES

Kimmel, one-time air line stew
