in 1929. The Fifteenth street site is
now occupied by St. Augustine's
Roman Catholic Church.
The residue of Mr.. Peirce's estate,
which included Linnaean Hill, he de-
vised to John B. Blake and Moses
Kelly, in trust, the profits to be paid
to his wife's nephew, Joshua PIERCE
Klingle, for life, balance to his chill
dren and the children of his deceased
children, II any, after his death. And
II he had no issue, then two-thirds
Of the residue as mentioned was to 60
to his own heirs (the heirs of Joshua
Peirce) and one-third to his wifes
next OF kin.
A FTER the death OF Joshua PIERCE,
Joshua Klingle took up his resi-
dence at Linnaean Hill with his wife,
Laura T. Klingle, said to have been
a Baltimore lady Of refinement, whose
maiden name was Gay, and who was
50 proud Of her descent from the In
dian Princess Pocahontas, that she
always kept hanging in her parlor
portraits Of Pocahontas ana King
Powhatan.
Without looking up the facts re-
garding the ancestry of Mrs. Klingle,
1t may be taken for granted that she
was descended from the Indian prin-
cess, through DR.. William Gay, who
married Elizabeth. the daughter Of
John Boiling, who married Mary
Kennon. 1t is known that Mrs. Klingle
did try to perpetuate the name Gay"
by naming daughter Lillian Gay Bea-
trice Klingle. In this connection a
partial list Of the descendants Of Po-
cahontas and her husband, John
Role, might prove Of interest.
As is quite well known, this unusual
couple had only one son, Thomas
Role. who was born In 1915. An
uncle, Henry Rolfe, educated the lad
in England and. when presumably he
had grown to manhood, he returned
to Virginia, where he Is said to have
acquired wealth and distinction. His
wife was Jane Poythress, by whom he
left one child only, named Jane Rolfe.
who was born in Virginia, married
Col. Robert Boiling In 1878 and died
the following year, leaving but one
child, son, John Boiling, born in
1876. Thus 1t will be seen that. for
three generations Thomas Role,
Jane Rolfe and John Bolling) there
was but one child born to perpetuate
the Indian blood OF Pocahontas, and
yet. from this time on they became
quite numerous, for John Boiling
(born 1870, died 1920, through his
marriage with Mary Kennon, had six
children-Maj. John Boiling. Jane,
Mary. Elizabeth, Martha and Anne.
Maj. John Boiling, OF the fourth In
descent, born in 100 and died Sep
TENDER 6. 1857. married Elizabeth,
daughter Of Dr. Archibald Blair, and
IS recorded as having had 10 children.

THE tragedy at Lakehurst has
not, as might perhaps have

4 on the controversy about ulti-
mate efficiency in types of aircraft for
over-ocean travel. The dead Hinden-
burg has joined the long and illus
trious list of martyrs to aerial prog
ress, but from the lips of her tor
tured victims has come the cry to 70
forward, even in the moment Of their
personal sacrifice. Nothing could
have brought the issue of airship
versus airplane more poignantly and
dramatically home to the public mind
than this signal failure of the one at
the moment when the other Is poised
to begin its own pioneering take-on
over the Atlantic failure which Is
accepted merely as spur to further
endeavor.
The grim determination to carry on
In the face Of disaster, to keep faith
with those who believed and paid the
price Of belief, IS very human and
understandable trait. It has brought
us along bitterly weary road from
our beginnings and will probably
drive us on to goals we cannot even
visualize at present. Realism and not
sentiment, however, concerning its
application, is . vital and practical
method Of honortng 1t and giving it
impetus.
1t IS one of those moments when an
assay Of our position becomes neces-
sary. Is the dirigible to continue,
and to grow in size and power? Is
the FAST flying, heavier han-air craft,
as land plane and flying boat, to
emerge dominant because Of this
disaster? Is public confidence justi-
ned In either form for trans oceanic
transport, or are we before our time?

of New York; at various times
between, and regularly since he
entered the White House-cover-
ing a similar period.
Theodore Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft
each attended nine dinners-more
than any other Chief Executives.
But long before they achieved the
Presidency they were guests Of the
club on more than one occasion.
For example,. the guest list for
the dinner of January Is, 1890,
bore the name of Theodore Roose-
welt, member Of the Civil Service
Commission" and a year later, on
February l, 1891, one Of the guests
was. Judge William H. Taft Of
the Superior Court Of Ohio"
Coming on down the years, Mr..
Taft lis found still coming to
Gridiron dinners while Chief JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court. of the
United States, and i1l-between was
a guest while governor general Of
the Philippines and as Secretary
of war in the reign Of the first

Both Taft and Theodore Roose-
welt, bitter though they became in
their political relations lack

their active careers in politics,
were great ,favoriteS with the Grid
iron Club. When President and
Mrs. Taft celebrated their twenty.
fifth wedding anniversary in the
White House on June 10, 1911, the
members of the club sent them
a silver pitcher and platter which
brought from Mr.. Taft an acknowl-
edgment, appearing in the clubs
archives, in which he said: i

greeted with noisy cheers. The
demonstration lasted for several
minutes. A little later, when
Governor Roosevelt, called on to
speak, explained that they had at.
tended three other banquets that
night and expressed his pleasure
in meeting his "old and valued
friends of the Gridiron Club,
whom am glad to see," q voice
from the floor shouted:
'YOu should be! We made
you!"
Always quick on the uptake, the
Governor retorted:

hat it has been so mOdestly con-
fesSed by the real author want

AS the several hundred guests
laughed, voices shouted again from
the floor:
I'VE are proud Of yOu!"
A few weeks later Governor
Roosevelt and not the Lieutenant
Governor was nominated for Vice
President. In November he was
elected. In March, 1901, President
Mckinley and Vice President
Roosevelt were inaugurated. In
September Mckinley was shot by
an assassin during a reception in
Buffalo, and Roosevelt became
President.

OF DINNER

the answer to the question often
asked by those who have not at
tended Gridiron dinners:
"How do those fellows take it?
Don't they get mad?"
Mr.. Morgan was in good COM
pany that night. There were pres.
ent Lord Charles BereSford and
Sir Michael Herbert, of England:
Senator Albert J. Beveridge, OF
Indiana; an obscure oil man who
was to come into notoriety 20 years
later-Edward L. Doheny, of Los
Angeles, who following the death
Of President Harding was &C
quilted of giving the bride the late
Secretary of the Interior Albert
Fall was convicted of accepting;
Rear Admiral William s. Schley,
hero of the Battle of Santiago,
and Senator Charles w. Fairbanks,
Of Indiana, who became Vice Presi-
dent.
But the highlight OF the dinner,
as disclosed by the Gridiron Clubs
records, now accessible for the
first time. was a speech by Senior
Ojeda, the Spanish Ambassador
to the United States. 1t will be
remembered that this was only
five years after the Spanish War,
and less than that from the sign
ing Of the treaty Of peace. 1t is
recorded that the ambassador
made a profound impression, won
the hearts of his audience and was
accorded a tremendous demon
stration when he praised the
magnanimity Of the United States
to defeated foe. and expressed a
hope that the two nations might
live thenceforward in everlasting
peace. ,.
There are some .curiously rem
iniScent entries in the club rec
ordS. In them, for example, is
found an echo of the challenge
Of Herbert Hooveris eligibility by
his political enemies at the time
Of his election to the Presidency.
It was charged then that he had
not only lived in London but re-
garded that as his home until the
end Of the World War.

Praised by Club

When T. r. died on January
8, 1919, the Gridiron Club adopted
a formal resolution expressing the
great grief of its members at the
passing Of "our friend Of many
years." and the greatest person.
atty Of his time" 1t spoke Of him
as particularly adapted to Grid
iron exploitation" spoke Of his
"resourcefulness, activity, exuber-
ance, good humor and apprecia-
tion," of his sense Of fair play,
and characterized him as a true
sportsman" The following Deem
Der, the club at its winter dinner
paid him it's final tribute as a
man who "reveled in these Grid
iron nights and entered into them
with turbulent delight"
1t had known him as q Civil
Service Commissioner, Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, Governor
of New York, Vice President and
President of the United States.
There was another highlight in
the record Of Theodore Roosevelt
which only comes to view now,
with the depositing Of the Grid
iron records in the Congressional
Library. Back in 1900 the men,
bers of the club journeyed to New
York to attend a dinner given IN
their honor by the Lotus Club,
made up Of writers, musicians,
dramatiSts and artists. Chauncey
Depew, for 40 years favorite with
the members Of both organizations,
was speaking when in walked the
then Governor of New York, Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, and the Lieu

eighty-fifth dinner, on December
7, 1912-two years before Europe
went to war-and again at a 1917
dinner, five years later, appears
this entry:

have liked to get hold of that,
had they known Of its existence!

cember 10, 1919, one of the guests
was listed as:
Herbert Hoover, Of PalO
Alto, Cal"
And two years before that some
member of the Gridiron Club
carefully preserved a menu for
the dinner of December 8, 1917,
on which appeared cakes contain
ing no wheat flour or white sugar,
wheatleSS oyster crackers and
saltines, rye bread and maple
sugar as a substitute for white
sugar in other items, with the
bold inscription across its face in
the handwriting of the wartime
Food Administrator:
20. *. Herbert Hoover"
Counting the dinners he attend
ed as Food Administrator, as
Secretary of Commerce, the eight
dinners to which he came as
President and those at which he
was q guest before the war and
since his defeat for reelection, it
is obvious that Mr.. Hoover has
attended more Gridiron affairs
altogether than any other man
who ever occupied the White
House. And it was largely the
friendship of Washington news
paper correspondents which made
it possible for him OF be nominated
for President in 1923. How he
shrank from them and how they
turned on him after he entered
the White House is another story.
But you see, on the clubs rec
ords, how Herbert Hoover has been
a frequent guest at Gridiron din
