The bill was introduced in the Senate and re- ferred to the Joint Committee on Public Health and Safety. It re- ceived a favorable report and there upon was passed by the Senate. In the House the bill was amended and a Committee of Conference was ap- pointed. consisting, among others, of John D.

Wed in London

A sister, Mrs. Robert j. Ran.
dolph, of 1908 N st. N. w., remains
the closest surviving relative of
the martyred Chief Executive. She
has two children, Miss Mary Lin
coin Beckwith and Robert Lincoln
Beckwith.
Mrs. Isham was born in 1869,
four years after the death of Abra-
ham Lincoln and one year after
the marriage of Robert Todd Lin
coin to Mary Harlan, daughter of
Senator James Harlan. In 1889,
while her father was American
minister to the Court of st. James,
Mary Lincoln married Charles
Isham, wealthy attorney, in Lon
don.
Isham, educated at Harvard and
Oxford Universities, died in 1919.
He was a son of William B.
Isham, noted capitalist of the Vic
torian era.
The death of Mrs. ISham auto
matically gives the Federal Gov

Healy portrait of Honest Abe"
The will of her mother, Mary
Harlan Lincoln, provided the
painting should remain with her
daughter during the latter's life

Noted Diplomat

Earlier in his life Robert Todd
Lincoln had served as Secretary
of War under Presidents Garfield
and Arthur. He was also one of
the last American ministers to
London, having been appointed
during the regime of President
Benjamin Harrison. Later the
American legation in London was
raised to the rank of embassy.
Honest Abe" and Mrs. 1sham
were entirely different in appear
ance, according to members of the
Lincoln family. He was dark,
while she was fair; while he was
tall and rangy, she was slight in
build.
Her death makes smaller the
dWindling number of descendants
of the illuStrious man murdered
ir Ford's Theater here in April
OF 1865. Abraham Lincoln had
four sons, Robert Todd, William
Wallace, Thomas Tad" and Ed
ward Baker, but all died either
in infancy or unmarried except
Robert.
OF Roberts three children a
son, Jack, died in Europe without
heirs. Mrs. Isham's only child,
Lincoln, is now As and married,
but also has no heirs.

Of Honest Abe
Goes to u. S.

Word came to Washington to-
day that one of the two surviving
granddaughter of Abraham Lin
coin is dead in New York city.
She was Mrs. Mary Lincoln
Isham, SO, widow of Charles Isham,
of New York, and daughter of the
late Robert Todd Lincoln, eldest
son of the Civil War President and
the only one to marry and leave
children.
Mrs. ISham, who lived a large
part of her life in Washington at
the old Robert Todd Lincoln home
at Thirtieth and N Streets North
west. died yesterday after a
lengthy illness. She recently had
been staying in her New York
apartment to be near her son, Lin
coin ISham.

White House Gift

of Mrs. Robert Todd Lincoln, that

ing in Mrs. ISham'S New York
apartment.
At the White House it was said
today the Healy portrait undoubt-
edly would be acceptable to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and to Congress,
which must pass an act accepting
it. Members of the Commission
of Fine Arts explained the paint
ing is regarded as having meal
culable traditional and historical
value, since it was painted from
life in the White House during
the Civil War.
Another fine portrait of Lin
coin. done by Cogswell, has hung
in the White House for many
years.
Shortly after the passing of
Robert Todd Lincoln in 1926, Mrs.
Isham left New York to live with
her mother in the Thirtieth and
N Street mansion, where many
mementoes of the Civil War Presi,
dent are kept. Among them are
personal effects of Robert Todd
Lincoln, to be opened many years
from now, under the terms of his
will.

IN.SO.-PreSident Roosevelt as
sumed the role of Southern gentle

Warm Springs.
Here for the Thanksgiving

Mcintyre profeSsed surprise
over reports that Gov. Frank
Murphy of Michigan would visit
Warm Springs the latter part OF

To Take Up Slack

TIHE PRESIDENT has occasion
l. ally been interested by his
advisors in Sweden's method OF
taking UP slack in employment
by what is called reserve work"
Sweden keeps a backlog OF pub
lie works projects all the time.
When depression hits, the ready
projects are started Con money
borrowed by government bond
issues and unemployed are
hired for the work. AS better
times return, public works are
gradually curtailed. BaSically
this is what this Government
has been doing, but not system
atically.
The sliding tax rule would be
worked out so rates would go up
as profits increased (thus acting
as a brake on booms). Lower
rates would come into effect as
profits decreased.
The result would theoretically
be.a budget balanced over a long
period of time, although in bad
times there would be deficits,
and SURPRISES in good times.
Several other ideas are mixed
up in it indirectly: The POSSIBLE
ity of counting finished public
works projects as assets in the
national budget sheet; POSSIBLE
ity of the Government furnish
ing capital needs through Spe-
cial banks; quicker credit manip-
ulation to hold down booms and
lift depressions and even-al-
though this one may not be con-
sidered-your old friend the rub

which would fluctuate similarly.

be called many things before it

the impression the President still

KINDER KEEPS

ENJOY RECITAL
TipiCa Orchestra at Con.
tinentaI Hall
By WILLIAM NEWMAN

DR.. Hans Kinder has kept faith
with the city of Washington. One
of the inducements held out by
him in soliciting the funds neces-
sary for the founding of the Ma
tional Symphony was an annual
series of concerts for the school
children. These have grown in i'm
portance from year to year.
Yesterday at the Central High
School the first Of this seasons
series took place. The audience
was limited to children Of the
grammar grades, and the audi
torium was sold out at a nominal
charge a week or more in advance.
ENJOYED HIMSELF
DR.. Kinder has a talent for
talking Interestingly and in terms
that the children comprehend. He
gave them some point Of contact
with each work played, let them
hear characteristic instruments in
the ensemble, repeated numbers
they found most entertaining, and
seemed to share their good time.
The program listed compositions
by Schubert, Mozart, Saint7SaenS
(Animal Pictures), Rimsky-KorSa-
kow. Ravel, and Wagner.
MEXICAN ORCHESTRA
The Tipica Orchestra, of Mex
leo, Angel J. Mercado, conductor,
played in Continental Hall last
night under auspices of the Holy
oke College Club. whose scholar
ship fund benefited. They offered
a characteristic program of brief
orches pieces, songs ana
dances drawn from most of the
South American countries and
from Spain.
This is an interesting ensemble
that plays upon many strange in
struments, of which the most i'm
portant is a Mexican modifica-
ton of the xylophone, and the
saltero, one of the members of
the zyther family, all sired by the
ancestor of the pianoforte, which
came into being in ancient AS
syria and was brought to Hungary
by gypsy musicians.
TALENTED SIGNS
The music is all rooted in the
Spanish idiom, a matter OF tunes
half sad, half gay, of insinuating
rhythmS and unexpected climaxeS.
These players know how to invest
It with characteristic elegance and
how to keep its many ardors with
in the bounds of good manners,
a lesson our opponents of popular
music would be wise to learn.
The program featured Lolita
Valdez, a gifted soprano, Arturo
Cortes, an excellent tenor, the
saltero virtuosa, Carmen Sarita.
and an expert team of dancers
the Ojedas
BACH FEATURED
Arthur Howes, o.ganist Of st,
Johns Church, began the series
of concerts planned for that small
but beautiful colonial house OF
worship with a recital, last night,
that represented Bach with sew
eral of his masterpieces. Some
of them, like the e flat and G
major fugues have been made
over for the great orchestras, not
always to their advantage, as Mr..
Howse demonstrated For heard
in their original color, which no
orchestra can produce, one OBJ
