Evening star., 1947-03-30
Georgia Avenue in 1850

about the time of the brief admin
istration of President William Henry
Harrison in 1841. He came from
Ohio and was the son of David and
Elmira Caulkins Lewis, vino emf
grated to Delaware County, Ohio
in 1904, where the son, Joseph c.
Lewis, was born September 20, 1906
On April 80, 1880. he married in
Greenville, N. Y, Mary Knowles, in
the ancestral home of the Knowles
family
In politics Mr.. Lewis was a Whig,
and an ardent supporter of William
Henry Harrison in the political
campaign of 1910, making speeches
and aiding as far as possible in the
generals election. He was rewarded
with clerkship in Washington, and
thither he removed with his family,
where he was domiciled in several
homes, on Capitol Hill, which in
those early days was the fashionable
locality of the Nations Capital.
Probably the best known Of his resi-
dences was the old Tunnecliff
House, reputed to be Washington's
first hotel. 1t was also known as
the Eastern Branch Hotel, and was
opened in the fall of 1876 by William
Tunnecliff, an Englishman.
The death Of President Harrison
occasioned the loss of Mr.. Lewis
official position.

Park Was the Scene of
Schuetzen Festivals

OF course, many can still recall
the old Schuetzen Park which was
located on the east side of Georgia
avenue from Hobart to Kenyon
streets. It was acquired in 1866 by
the Washington Schuetzen Verein
and had its grand opening in June
two years later. 1t was bought by
Harry Wardman in 1909, and little,
If any, trace of it can be seen today.
But, nevertheless, although the
park has long since been obliterated,
yet those who never attended a real
Schuetzen festival, such as we used
to have in Washington, missed q
great treat, for it was there that the
Washingtonian Of German extrac-
ton was seen to the best advantage.
Work and care were thrown aside
for the time being, and everybody
Joined in the pleasures of the occa-
sion.
Except for a few trees, which may
still be there, nothing remains of
this celebrated park. One of the
most interesting relics, however, still
to be- seen, is the marble statue Of
Maj. Gen. Frederick Wilhelm Won
Steuben, celebrated Prussian- Amer
ican general during the War of the
American Revolution. This statue
now stands in front of the German
Orphan Asylum, near Anacostia, and
appears in fine condition. 1t may be
interesting to note that the founda-
ton stone Of this monument was
laid at the Schuetzen Park by the
Grand Lodge of Masons on May 20,
1870. 1t was removed to the orphan
asylum grounds, many years ago.

may be intellectually aware that
Boyd can't lose, the tension is ter
rife. Mr.. Chambers has produced a
swiftly paced, if blood-splattered,
thriller that makes up in sophisti-
Gated dialogue and suspense what it

A MURDERER IN THE HOUSE,

Jonah-but Jonah most probably
would have been in two pieces. The
creature is flesh-and-blood butch

the orca, or killer whale.
AS whales 60 it is a little fellow
seldom more than Is feet long OF
weighing more than Is tons. The
female, reputedly even fiercer than
her mate, is much smaller. In each
jaw it has a row of 10 or IL solid
ivory teeth, about 3 inches long,
which look like small bananas. They
are ideally adapted for chopping in
two at one bite such puny crea-
ture as man or a seal. The killer
flashes through the water with the
speed and accuracy of a small tor
pedo. 1t is diabolically graceful
animal. with snakishly slender body
and pointed head. Deceptive
streamlining conceals its great bulk
at least twice that of an elephant.
Could Devour = Man.
It eats anything that is meat,
from a tidbit of fish or bird to a
scanty lunch of seal or man.
The orca is certainly the only
whale that would, or could, devour
man. ''It will attack a human
being at every opportunity" warns
the Navy in its sailing directions
for all sailors entering Antarctic
waters. But for all the creature s
reputation there is not a single
thoroughly authenticated instance
of man-eating, says Jack E. Per-
kins, expedition biologist. There
are several such stories in the
diaries of whalers, and there is
nothing inherently improbable
about them, but there are no actual
eyewitness accounts. All are Sec
ond-hand reports Of what somebody
else heard somebody else describe.
There have been few men in waters
where there are man killers. The
hunting grounds Of the orca are
south of the Antarctic Circle, and
for the most part far south. About
the only possibility of whale and
man coming in conflict would be
in case the former caught an open
boat some distance from the ice
pack edge and capsized it.
From all accounts a man-eating
tiger on rampage might be con-
sidered a relatively gentle animal,
compared to an orca in cold, calcu-
lating, routine pursuit of its prey
Nothing living can fight the orca.
He is as ferocious as the tiger. so
times as big, and invulnerable to
anything but weapons especially
devised by men for killing him.
Besides, the tiger Is emotionally
spasmodic In his killing. He Stays
for food, for anger or for fun. The
orca slays because he has no other

The worlds second greatest trav-
eler also is an Antarctic bird, the
wandering albatross. It circles the
globe in far southern latitudes, but
apparently has no definite migration

Flies go Miles, an Hour.
The wandering albatross is one of
the two largest of sea birds and one
of the largest of all flying birds.
1t has 9. wing spread of from 10 to

THE CASE OF ERIE STANLEY

THE CASE OF ERIE STANLEY
GARDNER
BY Alva Johnston. William
MorroU & Co.; $780,
Mr.. Johnston perhaps goes a little
far when he describes the creator
Of Perry Mason as 'the peoples
choice for Americas greatest living
writer" That's the sort of thing
to make Emerson, Hawthorne and
company whirl in their graves. But
Mr. Johnston produces some i'm
pressive statistics:
Mr.. Gardner's mysteries in all edi-
tions registered total sales of A.
5N,9 in 1943 and 1905, ,685 in 1914
and 6.104,000 in 1945. Up to May l,
l946, one publisher of 25-cent books
sold 13,l46,52o Gardner mysteries
$3,2S6,63 worth, to be frankly COM
mercial about it.
Most popular Of all was 1.-THE
Case of the Curious Bride" but four
others passed the million-sales mark
THE Case of the Counterfeit Eye, {"
'"The Case of the Suffering
Bishop" "The Case of the Lame
Canary" and 'The Case of the SUBJ
stitute Face"
In Mr.. Johnston's slim volume, he
explains how Mr.. Gardner does it.
For one thing, the author has his
own long and colorful legal expert
ence to fall back on. For another, he
keeps his cases in California to pre-
vent getting involved in the tech
nicalities of other State laws. AS
for his productivity (six books
year,, Mr.. Gardner does it with a
dictaphone and three stenographers.
Mr.. Johnston makes no effort to
put over the idea that Mr.. Gardner
is a good writer. Instead, he con-
tends that all mystery story pur-
veyorS stick to rigid form, which
leads them to copy each other.
Gardner just copies Gardner, says
his champion.
For the authority on Gardner
works, Mr.. Johnston produces some
interesting anecdotage. He demon
strates in several instances where
cases from Mr.. Gardner's legal days
are used by Perry Mason in his
dramatic courtroom denouements.
He also cites at least one instance
where a situation in Case of the
Curious Bride" was used success
fully by United States attorney to
force a wife to testify against her
husband.
There are those who say mystery
fans now are demanding better
writing, more acute delineations of
character. more battling plots and
keener wit. Erie Stanley Gardner,

Much Bird Life.
White and blue wings futter
always over Antarctica.
Antarctic birds show absolutely
no fear of man. So few men have
yentured here that the living things
of the ice desert have not expert
enced the threat Of the most pred
atory of all animals. One is
tempted to liken the land to bird
Eden, but the analogy cannot be
carried far because some of these
feathered creatures are fercely
predatory among themselves.
Strangest of birds met in the
Antarctic Is the Arctic tern-the
bird Of eternal day. Every year
it makes q 25,000-mile flight from
the dark-traveling almost from
pole to pole. 1t Is earth's greatest
wanderer.
This tern nests and breeds during
the northern summer on rocky
islands not far from the North
Pole. The first Arctic sunset stirs
in it some weird impulse that starts
it southwark over Europe and Africa,
speeding madly through the brief
intervals of darkness it encounters,
to another nightless land. With
late February's first Antarctic sun
set it starts for the North Pole
again, this time over South and
North America. The route appar-
emily is always the same.
Wastes Little Time on Way.
All this is generally accepted by
biologists. It is, however, based on
quite scattered obseryations-know
edge that it leaves its Arctic breeding
grounds in early fall, a few dead
birds picked up along the European
and African coast lines in autumn
and along the American coasts in
spring. The northern route over
the Americas and the time taken to
traverse it is practically unknown.
This slate-gray little bird, with
long red bill and red feet, reached
the Ross Sea icepack about the same
time as the Navy ships. 1t ap-
parently wastes no time on its flight
south. 1t rests only for a few hours
at a time to feed on fish and crus-
taceans, and moves through the skies
in an almost geometrically straight
line. 1t stops on the shores OF Ant
arctic islands, since there is no food
near the pole, and congregates in
great numbers on ice-covered rocks.
Although it has a wing spread of
nearly 2 feet, it actually weighs only

Mason classics. Mr.. Johnston ex-
plains the phenomenon is due to
the perennial fascination Of court
rooms, as witness the success of
Arthur Trains "Mr. Tut" However,
Mr.. Gardner at one point was a
highly successful automobile gadget
salesman. 1t is possible he has
simply transferred his salesmanship
to an even more lucrative field.

EXPERIMENT IN CRIME
BY John Rhode. (Dodd, Mead &
Co.,. $780,
If you haven't encountered him
before, DR.. Priestley is a scientist
who makes a hobby of criminology.
He lets his scientific mind play over
the possibilities after his friend,
Supt. Jimmy Wagi,orn of Scotland
Yard, has done the legwork. This
time, DR.. Priestiey resorts to pento-
thai, a drug known in law circles
as the truth serum" He has de-
cided who killed Henry Watlington,
the wealthy British industrialist,
but he doses the suspect with pen
tothal merely to demonstrate the
truth of his suspicious. The author
very carefully explains that the
drug is not evidence since person
under its influence, becomes SO
susceptible TO suggestion that he
will admit almost anything rather
than force his stunned mind to
work. Before Supt. Waghorn gets
his problem solved by DR.. Priestley,
the author has built up strong cases
against at least three suspects. This
one isn't easy but a veteran mystery
fan should at least suspect the
culprit. ~
