The story OF Francis scott Key
and "The Star-Spangled Banner"
was related by Miss Marian Slocum
of Hagerstown, Md, last night at
the Columbia Historical Societys
meeting in the. Hotel Mayf1ower
under difficult circumstances.
Col. Francis Scott Key Smith,
great-grandson and biographer of
the man who wrote the national
anthem, was in the audience as
Miss Slocum gave the illustrated
lecture she has worked up for school
groups.
The society is endeavoring to re-
store the Key mansion which stood
on the river bank west of the Key
Bridge until it was torn down last
year to make way for the new
clover approach. A bill au-.
thorizing it's restoration has passed
the Senate and is pending IN the
House.
When Miss Slocum had finished,
Col. Smith arose and said her ac-
count was absolutely accurate. He
told of the difficulty he had in re-
futing the story that Francis Scott
Key was a prisoner on a British
man-o-war during the bombardment
of Fort McHenry at the entrance to
Baltimore'S harbor.
Two of the slides Miss Slocum
had used in her lecture, pages from
the logs of British ships of Ad-
miral Cockburn's fleet, he said, were
obtained by him after lengthy cor
reSpondence with several sources in
London.
They showed, he said, that Francis
Scott Key, who was on mission to
release a civilian physician made
prisoner, had been put back on the
American sloop flying the flag OF
truce two days before the lombard
ment and was in the rear Of the
British warships during the siege.
There had been those, he said, who
had charged that Francis Scott Key
was not much of poet. He recited
the second stanza Of the anthem and
said it was the most beautiful de-
scriptive piece of poetry in the Eng
lish language. There are those, he
added, who might hold that Gray's

Before Historical Society

'Elegy" was more beautiful, but he
reminded his audience that 1t took
Gray 10 years to write the "Elegy"
and Key two hours to write the

He finished by reciting the verses
of his own composition which at the
age of 21 he had delivered at the
1894 anniversary Of the bombing of
Fort McHenry.
Col. Key presented the society with

 HELD T0M0R00W;;
 ONE VOTING PLACE

Juneau voters will go to the polls tomorrow for the purpose of ap- proving or disappearing of the leas- ing of the basement of A. B. Hall to L. E. Sturm, for period of five years.
 The City Council has been con- sidering for some time ways and means of putting the A.B Hall properly tc the best possible use, but the cost of heating and super vision is financially impossible for the city to assume at this time, ii is said.
 Members Of the Arts and Crafts, the Rifle Club and other groups have requested space in the build ing but are unable to finance the operation of the building At present the top floor is the only revenue producer.
 The rental of the basement is set at S225 monthly for five years with an option of renewal for an other five year period.
 All expenses of this special cleo tion and all alterations of the basement are to be paid for by MT. Sturm.
 Mayor Waino Hendrickson and members of the City Council, it is said, cannot. forsee any possibility of constructing a new recreation building within the next five years unless a grant of funds is provided by the government. Through rent al of the basement, groups de- siring quarters may secure space on ether floors at a very nomi- nal charge, if any.
 At tomorrow's special election there is only one polling place and that is in the City Hall build ing Polls are open at o'clock in the morning and close at 2 o'clock tomorrow evening.
 These who have voted in pre- vious elections may cast their bal lots tomorrow, no registration be- ing required Of course those who registered last week may also vote tomorrow
 Those unfamiliar with the full details of the lease may read copy now on the bulletin board at the City Hall.

 He said that the University's schools of mining, civil and geolog- ical engineering are among the re- latively few which are accredited by the Engineering Counsel for Pro- fessional Development, and that closure of the institution would have disastrous repercussions not only on the faculty and student body, but on the entire Territory.
 Only one fourth of the appro- priation justifiably requested by the University for the hiennium has been made available" he said. Tn the past 35 years our legislators have failed to provide for any basic tax laws.
 We need competent and honest legislators who will see to it that the Territory does not go broke"
