Third Term Tradition
Modet Garfield President

T1HE unwritten law that a Pres
= ident may not serve for three
terms confronted the Republicans
when they met in national con-
vention in 1880. General Grant
had already served two terms, but
the C. o. P. bosses in three great
states-New York, Pennsylvania
and Illinois--were determined that
he should serve again. Thereby
developed one Of the bitterest
convention battles on record.
Opposed to the "stalwarts" or
Grant adherents were two other
factions, one supporting James C.
Blaine of Maine and the other
John Sherman Of Ohio. They
;tymied the balloting at once. The
frst % roll calls were almost
identical. 1t was clear neither
group would give quarter.
So the convention in despera-
lion, with the cry, Anything to
beat Grant," turned to its lesser
candidates for compromise. James
Abram Garfield proved that man.
His long term of service in the
House, his leadership of his party
,n the floor, his candidacy for the
,peakership, together with his
more recent election to the Sen
lte, marked him above the other
10 possible candidates. -...
The balloting began again.
Garfield was nominated very
shortly. He took Office March 4,
1881, after a particularly vicious
campaign. On July 2 he was shot
IN a railway station by a disap-
pointed office seeker, Charles J.
Guiteau. He died in September.

REVENTLOW WOULD
SUPPRESS ARTICLE
ABOUT COUNTESS

LONDON, Nov. 26. (UP)-The
Daily Mail said yesterday that
Count Haugwitz-Reventlow has
objected to and taken steps to
prevent publication in Great Bri-
tain of the December issue of Cos
mopolitan magazine containing an
article on the life of his estranged
wife, the former Barbara Hutton.
The article is one of series
written by Elsa Maxwell, titled
"The Truth About Barbara Hut
ton"
The Mail understands that an
application was made in the high
court several days ago for an m
junction to restrain the British
distributors of Cosmopolitan, w.
H. Smith & Son, and also the Ma
tional Magazine Co., from circulat-
ing the December issue.
The paper stated that the court
did not issue an injunction but
that the two companies agreed not
to distribute the December issue.
Miss A. NJ. Head. managing d.
rector of the National Magazine
Co., was quoted by The Mail as
saying:
after the hearing we were in
formed that Princess Mdivani, now
Mrs. Denis Conan-Doyle. is taking
legal action against Miss Maxwell
and others concerned in produc-
ton of the series"
The Daily Mail said that Coun-
tess Haugwitz-Reventlow collabo-
rated with Miss Maxwell in pre-
pairing the articles and that they
worked together in Venice in as
sembling and sorting the material.
The Mail quoted Miss Head as
saving:

of the article in our possession

Great Britain is about 1900. The

Rcor Admiral A. b. Cook, cmel

of adequate shore stations and the
purchase Of the best available ar
craft in order to speed up PreSl-
dent Roosevelt's naval expansion
nropram and prevent the UNITED
States from falling behind IN ar
In his annual report to SecHe-
tary of Navy Claude A. Swanson:
Cook stressed the Importance Oh

and emphasized that shore stations
must be constructed on the east
coast as we'll as on the faclnc
coast in any scheme to encrclr
thc United States with a line or
steel defense. 1000
The report, covering fiscal 1898;
urged development of the naval
air station at Alameda, Calf, as
RAPIDLY as possible and expansion
of the air station facilities at Sc
attic. Wash, in order to relieve
west coast congestion.
Cook said that the increased
cost of experimental planes, used
to develop new models and per-
feet existing ones, makes it man
datory" that appropriations for
this purpose be boosted consider
ably in order to make it possible
to continue an orderly procure
ment program of high perform
ance airplanes."
He said that during the year
ended June 80, various technical
improvements in lighter -than-alr
craft had been brought about, es-
pecially in regards to equipment,
and that "much of this can be ap,
piled to the moderate sized rigid

BARBER TO POOR Is

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 26. -
(UP)-On the city's payroll
Charles Wolsch is q captain in the
fire department. But to hundreds
of the eity's needy he is their pa
tron barber who has cut hair for
10 years and never accepted a
cent. 80
The 6lyear-old firefighter start
ed his voluntary duties while Sit
ting waiting for fires. A man
whose hair hung almost to his
shoulders passed the fire station
in a wheel-chail. Wolsch called
him over, found a pair of scissors
and applied the trade he had
learned as youth.
"He nearly cried he was so
grateful" Wolsch said. ''..
In a week or so the man came
back by the station. He asked
Wolsch if he would cut the hair OF
a sick friend who was unable. to
pay for barber service. Wolsch
agreed. -.
On a visit to a New Orleans aim
house, Wolsch noticed that the in
mates almost all needed haircuts.
He took it upon himself to help
them in his spare time.
During the past 10 years Wolsch
estimated he has cut the hair and
shaved the faces Of more than
10000 persons.
Recently the city contributed a
fully equipped modern barber
shop to replace the worn, second
hand chair that WOlsch paid for
