Noted Tenants of
The Center House
No. l703 K street, the center house
OF Shepherd Row, was probably bought
by Adolf Cluss as an investment and the
flrst tenant is said to have been Alex
ander Bruen, a prominent New Yorker
whose grandfather made considerable
wealth by a corner in the salt market
during the American Revolution. Bruen
is said to have lived there for more than
rs years, but his name does not appear
IN the city directory of 1873, 1879, 1880,
1883, 1884 or 1885, though there was DR..
A. M. Bruen residing at 720 Fifteenth
street in 1880. However, it is quite likely
that Alexander Bruen was the owner of
the property.

occupied this residence here during
these years. He was a native of Wash
ington, D. c., and was born here July 2,
1928. He was the grandson of Gustavus
Scott, delegate in the Continental
Congress, who, on August %, 1894, was
appointed one of the Commissioners of
the District of Columbia by President
Washington. Soon after assuming his
duties here he bought a house on 40
acre farm known as Rock Hill from
Anthony Holmead. This tract later be-
came known as Kalorama and extended
over considerable section of suburban
Washington, now known as Washington
Heights.
In 1901, the late c. C. Glover bought
1903 K street from the Bruen estate, and
from an authentic source it is said that
at this time he spent nearly 5000 900 in
remodeling and modernizing the house,
where he subsequently did much enter

Historic Homes Along Shepherd Row
Bv John Clagett Proctor

BY John Clagett Proctor
!" HE recent fire at the northwest
corner of K street and connecti-
cut avenue brings to mind the
three historic houses at 1701,
l7O3 and 1705 K street, the latter num-
ber being largely occupied by the Troika
Club, scene of the conf1agratlon. In
deed, these buildings, erected in 1872
or 1878, played a large part in develop
ing this part of Washington, which at
this period was considered strictly sub
urban. Alexander R. Shepherd, Hallet
Kilhurn and Adolf Cluss, noted archi-
tect, and father of the gifted harplst,
Aneita Cluss, who charmed many an
audience of music lovers some years
ago, were the original owners of these
dwellings.
At the time of the building of this
row, Shepherd was on top of the world,
so to speak, for it was in 1873 that he
was made Governor of the District OF
Columbia, and was residing at the Con-
necticut avenue corner and continued
to make this his home until 1879, when
he moved to Bleak house, MS country
home, on Georgia avenue beyond Wal
ter Reed Hospital.
After being vacated by Gov. Shep-
herd, 1705 K street was occupied by
Baron Rosen of the Russian Legation.
Other occupants included Gen. Will
liam F. Draper, United States Ambas-
sador to Italy, whose daughter, Miss
Margaret Draper, married Prince Bon
campagni of Italy in the ballroom of
his house, shortly before the World
War An unusual feature of the cere-
mony was the fact that Cardinal Glib
bons came from Baltimore especially
to pronounce the VOWS to the couple,
being permitted to do this because the
bridegroom was of royal blood.

103 and 104 Of the Revised Statues of
the United States, had certified the
fact to the district attorney, who was
then Henry H. Wells, and an indict-
ment had been found against him;
which was pending in this court, be-
ing No. II 200 on the criminal docket.
Being confined in Jail by the SER
geant at arms, and awaiting trial on
the indictment of the same offense,
that OF refusing to answer questions
or produce papers, Kilbourn filed a
petition, No. 1874 on the criminal
docket, for writ of habeas corpus,
and the same was issued by order of
Chief Justice Cartier and made re-
turnable before him in chambers.
In this case Chief Justice Cartier
had to decide against the Judgment of
the House of Representatives in order
ing the petitioner to be confined in Jail,
or he had to pronounce unconstitutional
or imperative the statute which had
been passed by both houses of Congress
and approved by the President, provid-
ing for the punishment for this char
acter of contempt.
He reached the conclusion, in the
able opinion pronounced by him, that
the House was wrong in undertaking to
punish for contempt, contrary and in
addition to, the method prescribed by
the act of Congress, and he therefore
ordered the discharge of. the prisoner
from the custody of the sergeant at
arms, and the United States Jail, and
remanded him to the Criminal Court
for trial.

Maryland Vets Golf Title CABS
Big Month in BussIer's Life
By MerrelI WhittIesey

June has been big month in the
life of Charley Bassler, new assist
ant professional at Chevy Chase,
who yesterday won the first Mary
land servicemen's golf title with
rounds of 66-67-133 over the Roll
ing road course in Catonsville.
Bassler's major step of the month
was his marriage on June II. Six
days later he surprised his Balti-
more golfing pals by turning pro
and joining Bob Barnett's staff at
Chevy Chase. He's doing all right
as pro, too, as his 7-under par
score is believed to be a record for a
36-hole tournament in this section.
In addition, Bassler, an ex-Marine,
is the first player to win a State
amateur and pro tourney in the
space of few weeks. Spencer Over
ton and Bassler won the Maryland
| four-ball title before Charley de-
serted the simonpure ranks.
Congressional's Lew Worsham
stepped up to the microphone late
yesterday evening and predicted
great things for Bassler, and Lew
should know. Worsham, who led the
tournament. the first day with a

Be Fair With lis Ex-GIs

The D. c. Department of the
American Veterans of World War II
yesterday called on organized base

the unemployment provisions of the
Selective Training and Service Act"
in a formal protest to Clark Griffith,
president of the Washington Ma

Griffith recently was quoted as
saying he doubted if a court ruling
in the Al Niemiec case would stand
up. Niemiec served in the Navy
and was released by the Seattle
Club of the Pacific Coast League
this spring after a brief trial, but
Federal Judge Lloyd L. Black ruled
the player was entitled to a years
pay under the Selective Service Act.
Griffith said it was his understand
ing the act was not intended to
apply to professional people,
The Amvets said they believed
"organized baseball should not re-
sort to legal technicalities to avoid

Montgomery Is Eyeing

BY the Associoied Press

NEW YORK, June 29-The folks
along Caulifower Ear Concourse
today were talking more about Allie
Stolz's gameness than his knock
out defeat by Bob Montgomery last
night as negotiations began to
match Bobcat Bob with Ike Will
liams in order to untwist the light
weight championship pretzel.
AS a matter of fact, they'll be
talking for quite spell to come of
frail Allie and the ''moxie" he
showed in coming off the floor five
times to keep on punching in last
nights lightweight championship
fuss. For that was the big thing
about this latest Madison Square
Garden beak-busting-that and the
body betting Bobcat Bob dished out
for dozen rounds before putting
on the crusher with large right
hand at 2:54 of the 18th.
The victory for Montgomery
marked the unveiling of his half of
the 135-pound crown for the first
time since he went into the Army
with it two years ago, and he showed
that while. he may be a bit rusty
hes whole lot better than a green
hand, particularly since he had to
get down under the weight limit for
the first time. His half of the
bauble is the part that's recognized
in New York and PENNSYLVANIA and
is not to be confused with that por-
ton that has the National Boxing
Associations blessing and is owned
by Williams.
Ike was among the 1882 custom
ers who rang Promoter Mike Jacobs
cash registers for S6l 1894 to sit in
on last nights festivities. As soon
as it was over, with the Philadel-
phia Negro still holding his end of
the championship in a firm grip,
the buzz began for Montgomery
Williams match to make the 1885,
pound throne a single-o job in
stead of the tWo-seater it has been
for quite stretch.
Off the talk you heard around and
about, it may very we'll be that this
