Michener left another Identification
mark that helped prove their undoing
When they finished their work, pre-
pared to depart, they overlooked one
impression made on the press-the
back plate number of a $40 note.
On all notes there are two num-
bers-the back plate number and the
front plate number.
All Secret Service agents had to do
now was put their fingers on these
men. Their habits known, it was a
case of watchful waiting by Uncle
Sans unrelenting agency.
When Michener and Franzeen were
confronted with all the evidence
against them they confessed. On
their pleas OF guilty they we're sem

him to call up the factory and talk
to the officials.
Franzeen answered the phone and
pretended he was the company treas
urer.
ITS okay," he'd say. Give the man
his money"
Thus the counterfeiters raised
enough cash in one afternoon to keep
them active with their spurious note
passing In Wisconsin, Minnesota and
the Far West. This was their terri
tory. They led the Secret Service a
hot chase until put behind the bars
probably for the rest of their lives.
Their sentences total almost 90
years-and they are in their thirties.
Michener and Franzeen specialized
in raiding print shops-at night
working under cover of darkness. In
those places they made their notes.

improvement of roads the report says:
In the immediate future a large
amount OF work should be done In
making more adequate for traffic that
already exists those highways de-
liberately improved under a policy Of
stage construction to a degree known
to be less than that ultimately desir-
able. There is also a need for the
further extension Of Improvements to
the more useful secondary and land
service roads, many of which still
await improvement. Needed improve
ments on the main highways include
considerable improvement of align
ment, reduction of grades and elm
ination of railroad grade crossings and
separation of grades at intersections
of heavily travelled highway routes.
Although much work Of the kind
described is necessary. there is no
reason whatever to assume that the
main highway system, as whole, is
substantially inadequate. The need
for further improvement exists prin-
cipally on a limited milage of heavily
Travelled highways, especially near
large cities in industrial sections and
on those roads which. because of their
early importance, were the first to be
improved and we're therefore con-
structed according to lower standards
than have since prevailed. Viewing
the work Of past years as whole, the
system of highways created is remark
ably adequate"
Production this week is estimated
at 75,375 units by Automotive Daily
News in its midWeek survey OF the
industry This fiure compares with a
revised estimate OF 3,305 units last
week.
Top producer for the week is Ford,
with about 10000 units scheduled.
Plymouth is second and should turn
out some IL 900 units. Production by
other plants is estimated by A. D. N.
as follows: Dodge, 1000; Hudson and
Terraplane, $500; Packard. 2,800;
ette, 2,250: De Soto. 2,200; Chrysler,
1000; Willys, 1900; Graham 600;
Cord, 40, and miscellaneous compan-
les, including truck makers. $500.
Pontiac closed Wednesday and Olds-
mobile Tuesday and turned out an
estimated 1900 and $500, respec-
lively. Chevrolet, Buick and Cadil-
lac had already ceased operations.
Production for January is esti-
mated by A. D. N. at approximately
10000 units. provided the rate con-
tinues the same the last half of the
month as 1t has the first two weeks.
Registrations during December to-
tailed about 100000, A. D. N. estimates
on the basis of reports from six States
| and should be the highest December
in history when final reports are in.
Truck registrations for the month are
estimated by A. D. N. at between
$1,000 and $4,000 units. down from
the 39,258 registered in December,
1885.

the weather may be up on its "ear," so
to speak. for the occasion. In that
case, frippery of every kind would
find itself distinctly handicapped by
the breezes, the snow and cold.
In the third place, long inaugural
parades are tiresome, not only to
the President but to the public as
we'll. There is such thing as being
fed up" on them as we'll as being
entertained by them. With this
thought in mind, no doubt, but not
expressed, the word went out from
official headquarters to curtail march,
ing and countermarching.
However, this does not preclude the
coming of the masses to Washington
to see the show" From a radius
of 400 miles this travel will largely
be by automobile, the weather again
permitting. And from the greater
distances will come visitors by bus
and train: even the airplane will not
be without its quota Of passengers
for the occasion.
WHILE the unusual will take place
" In the matter of marching units
in the parade, it will scarcely be no
ticed because of one restored feature
of former inaugurals. The "Kadets"
and the "Middies" will be here, as of
yore. And what marching units are
they, said to be the finest in the
world, swinging down the street to
the steady marching beat of their
drums, drums, drums! That will be a

hood stepping down the "Avenoo" be-
fore their Commander in Chief.
Another feature of this years in
augural is the way in which delega-
tions from the States are planned
to be handled. In former times, there
existed no connected manner of enter
tanning these out-of-town guests while
in the city. This year the Inaugural
Committee has contacted each Sem
ator and asked that he cooperate
with his own State organization in
the city in caring for the citizenry
of his State. This means that State
organizations here join hands with
their respective representatives over

and comfort OF their fellow State
citizens while in the city. The re-
sponse to this suggestion has been
excellent, and whereas in former
times sort Of chaotic melee took
place after the inaugural ceremonies
were over this year everything is
expected to "gae' along very smoothly.
The inaugural ball this year is out.
The reason for this is that the Presi-
dents birthday falls some 10 days
after his inauguration and, as has been
the custom during his incumbency in
office. this date is one selected for
birthday balls throughout the coun-
try in the interest of the Warm
Springs Foundation at Warm Springs,
Ga. The inaugural ball, therefore,
falls before the larger and charitable
one.
INVITATIONS for the inaugural
have gone forward to all the
Governors of the union, to all Demo-
cratic national committeeman, COM
hllItCC"OitlcIl, SIdUe CnalrmeE AND
vice chairmen. Four years ago. 27 OF
the Governors appeared in person and
10 others were present through per-
sonal representatives. Two ARMY.
Navy or Marine Corps officers will be
detailed to each Governor Tor his
official representative who attends
the inaugural. The duty of these
aides will be to maintain contact with
Maj. Nelson M. Walker, who, with Mai.
H. B. Smith, represents the A my at
inaugural headquarters. They will
familiarize themselves with all the
details of the Inauguration, so that
they may be Of service to the visiting
Governors.
The Governors. in addition to par
ticipating in the parade, will attend
the inaugural ceremonies at the Capt.

gressional Committee, of which Sena.

being laid in 1903. After 1t was burned
in 1920, the ruins were purchased by
Carusi, and when he opened it, the
same year, it was called the City
Assembly Rooms, though it was gener-
ally known as Carusi's Dancing Saloon.
Later it was called the Washington
Theater, and more recently the Theater
Comique and Kernans. The entrance
to the theater in later days was on the
Avenue side.
The excavating Of the ground for
the Internal Revenue Building was
most interesting, since it brought to
light wharves erected there as early
as 1905. These extended almost to
the center of the building, from the
south side, and bore out statements
made in old records that q basin for
boats once existed here, and as far as
from Tenth to Twelfth streets. During
the progress Of the work the writer
counted at least 100 piles that had
been taken up. The basin was filled
in in 1850, and five subsequent filings
could be discerned.
The block between Twelfth and
Thirteenth street, where stands the
new Post Office Department Building,
was one of the earliest built upon in
Washington. The corner. at Twelfth
street, was bought in May, 1900, by
Lewis NORM. Of Baltimore, for the
sum of $549.77. 1t was triangular
shaped lot, and the owner soon built
upon 1t two-story frame dwelling,
80 feet wide, which was opened as
early as 1901 as tavern by DR.. NORM,
by whose name it was known.
During the early days of the city,
when voting for certain local officers
was permitted, NORM Tavern was Sc
lected as the polling place for that
particular ward or precinct. Mr.. NORM
died in 1913, and Mr.. Espey was his
successor. Just q few feet away to
once the home of Gen. John P. Van
Ness. 1t was erected in 1904 and oc-
cupied by him and his wife, nee
Marcia Burnes. until they moved into
their new home. which occupied the
site Of the Pan-American Building, in
1916. At the d street home, Gen. Van
Ness entertained Washington Irving
in 1911, and in a building close by
The Star began its notable career in
December, 1852.
A VERY interesting landmark which
stood until few years ago at
1884 Pennsylvania avenue, was Han
cocks Restaurant, known as early as
1916 as the Star Coffee House. An
drew Hancock was its first proprietor,
and by 1850 he was evidently serving
his celebrated liquors. for in that year
we find 1t was called the Bald Eagle
House. In 1865, John Hancock, son
of Andrew, succeeded to the business,
and Andrew, the latter's son, followed
him. When John Hancock died in
1885, The Star referred to the place,
saying:
1.-The sudden death Of Mr.. Hancock,
proprietor of the old Curiosity Shop
restaurant, has directed public atten-
ton to the collection of curiosities in
that place. Years back. prior to the
clash of arms in civil conflict, Ham.
cocks was a favorite place Of resort
for public men. It was patronized
