Change in Oakland Management Recalls
Hotels History; Has Been Home to Many

Management Of the Oakland
hotel will change Tuesday when
Harry J. Cook, of near Cleveland,
will succeed Frank j. Heating as
the host" The new manager has
had much experience i'm hotel busi-
ness and his father at present time
is owner of the Hotel in Greenville.
The Oakland, owned by the
Marysville Hotel company, corp
Grafton, was constructed from
1893-'95 at a cost of $4,000. 1t
was completely redeeorated and
remodeled about 10 years ago, just
before Mr.. Heating took over its
management.
For many years, the site on
which the hotel was built was but
vacant lot with a hole i'm the
center, where the old Union county
Court House had been located
The hole in the ground was left by
the basement when the old Court
House was raZed.
Contract for stone and masonry
work on the Oakland was i'm charge
of the late Emanuel Fox and the
local firm of d. Sharrer q Son did
the carpentry and structural iron
work. Thomas II. Sharrer, now 80
years old, who resides on w. Fifth
ST., is probably the only living man
who had a part in erecting the
hotel, which does not appear to be
so years old.
Permanent Home For Many
The 45-rOom Structer, in ad-
dition to furnishing overnight
lodging for countless hundreds of
tourists, has been the permanent
home for many persons Among
those who resided there were the
late r. l.. Woodburn, Marysville
attorney, and the late Walter G..
Fullingt0n, local banker, both of
whom were widely known through
out Ohio.
Probably the most celebrated of
all, however, was Miss Elsie Janis,
famed actress, who lived in the
hotel with her mother Mrs. Jane
Bierhower, about 35 years ago, and
attended school in MarySville. Miss
Janis attained great fame during
the last War as the most popular
of all entertainers with the A. +.
F. in France.
PreSent-day guests who make
their permanent home at the hotel
include Uncle viii" Morey, who
has resided there for the past 10
years. Recently. celebrating his
seth birthday, Mr.. Morey intends
to spend the remainder of his life
there. Another eight or ten local
men and women also call the Oak
land home.
The Oakland, considered to be
one of the states better small
town hotels, has also been the
SIGilC VI llidlly GOIlNCIlllOilo III Jllt
past, and several times district
political cauCaSes have been held
there.
Henderson First Manager
The first manager of the Oak
land was the late r. N. Hender-
son, who operated the hotel for IS
years. Mr.. Heating managed it two
different times, the first from 1921
to 1925 and the second, from 1885
until the present. Earl Hamerle
and Louis p. Rausch are the only
other Marysville men to operate it.
Officers and directors of the
Hotel company are c. d. Webb,
president; F. j. Asman, vice
president; Charles Asman, secre-
tary; Mrs. Elizebeth Bishop and
Mrs. Margaret ASman. There are
approximately Is stockholders.
The company itself has a capital
rating of $4,000 with a Substant-
ial surplus.

EGG CUTS RED TAPE

The deral Communications Commission last week set record for services by a Government agency, when it received and ap- proved an application in less than eight hours. Radio men who have seen their cases drag on for months blinked, but didn't get too excited. The approval was for a change in organization of KTHT, Houston, Texas, the only radio station in that city not controlled by Jesse Jones.
 Its owner, Roy Hofheinz, vigorous critic of Jesse Jones, wanted to change his setup from corpora tion to a partnership for tax pur- poses. The change had to be made by the close of the year and some how Hofheinz' airmailed applica- tion went astray. Calling the EGG, he was told he could probably get consideration of the application arrived by Saturday morning, De- 'cember 30

MRS. BOLTON BOLTS

First Republican caucus for mem bers of the new House Of Repre- sentatives was one of the most dispirited in years. Attendance was fairly good, but there was very little enthusiasm.
 Minority Leader Joe Martin didn't succeed in raising the esprit de corps tremendously. He gave a typical old-fashioned between-the- halves football speech calling for support for the COP leadership. There was nothing wrong with the speech-it just wasn't very inter esting. Martin, though popular per sonally, has passed his peak. Some House Republicans are whispering laziness and carlessness are rob- ping him of the effectiveness he used to have as a speaker. There was no opposition to Martins re- election except that Clare Hoffman of Michigan did not vote. But neither was there any particular enthusiasm.
 Only hi2hlight of the entire session was the rip-snorting speech of Mrs. Frances Bolton, wealthy progressive Republican of Cleve- land, Ohio, who charged the Presi- dent with sighting Congress by his refusal to address the House in person and by declining to hold the inauguration ceremony at the White House instead of the Capitol.
 Tt is American tradition that messages to new Congresses be de- livered in person by the President but our President doesn't think Congress is important enough. As for the inauguration" Mrs. Bolton continued, who ever saw anything stranger than Harry Byrd (chair- man of the Inaugural Committed and Senatorial economy exponenp trying to save S20,000, when the Government is daily squanderine millions. It is an American tra- dition for the President to be in- augurated on the Capitol steps"
 Mrs. Bolton got vigorous round of applause, but not a single col league arose to second her senti- ments or propose any supporting resolution.
 Neither of them will ad- init it, but Mrs. Bolton and Glare Booth Luce of Connecticut are among the bitterest feudists in Congress. Neither can stand the other, and each occasionally lets her hair down on the subject of the other. Mrs. Bolton is more popular with her colleagues, es- pecially the females.

a commercial airline to deliver the application to the EGG Friday But flying weather was poor, and the flight was cancelled. Hofheinz then put a. courier on the train at Houston, but he missed connec- tions in New Orleans and could not make Washington in time.
 Hofheinz then chartered a plane, planning to fly himself, but the authorities would not permit his pilot to take off because of the weather Finally, on Friday night, Hofheinz telegraphed his entire ap- plication to the EGG.
 The Commission did not meet Saturday, but passed on the appli- cation individually as it was cir culated among the various offices. Announcement of approval was made before five o'clock Saturday afternoon.

woman large from Illinois. She was unable to unpack even a hand bag. let alone take out her files and get settled in her new office until after the stroke of F when the new Congress came in.
 Reason was that she was sup posed to occupy the office of Rep resentative Kunkel of Pennsylvania, who in turn was supposed to move to the office of Congressman D'Alesandro of Maryland, who in turn was to move into the office of ex-congressman P a ton of Texas. Cousin Nat" had one of the best offices on Capitol Hill and those who are senior Congress- men move up to such offices in rank.
 Mrs. Douglas down at the bottom of the list had to shuffle her feet in corridors and patiently wait. Cousin Nat" kept telling col leagues up to the last mincte, I'm still a member of Congress v He certainly hated to leave.
 And he did not leave until the day after the new Congress met. Finally, one day late, he let Con- gressman D'Alesandro move in. When Congressman D'Alesandro opened the door, however, he baked. There was too much to- bacco juice splattered on the walls. .D'Alesandro is now waiting for the painters to do a paint job before he moves into Patton's office.
