flowed into the Potomac where
Memorial Bridge now spans it.
The founders possibly would have
been little disappointed at the
disappearance of the Tiber. They
counted seven bills here and they
named the stream passing closest to
the Capitol for the famed river of
Rome. But Gov. Alexander Shep-
herd filed dt in in the 1870s.
The map Of the Tiber gave John
Clagett Proctor, president of the as
sociation, chance to tell one OF his
favorite stories and cap the session.
In the enthusiasm of reminiscence,
he has been known to tell it as if
he witnessed it himself, which is
hardly likely, since it happneed dur
ing the jefferson administration, al
mosts150 years ago.
He credited the story to his great
grandfather, who wrote little book
on his memories of the early city. 1t
seems a freshet caused the Tiber to
rise so that mechanics working on
the Capitol had difficulty in getting
across. One older man couldn't
make it and was swept from his feet
and was saved by tree. He climbed
into the branches.
President jefferson heard it and
came riding up. He offered $40 and
the use of his horse to the man who
would rescue the worker. The water
was still rising, and no one dared
attempt it. The mechanic stayed in
the tree all night and was able to
make it the next day, when the
waters had fallen.

Washington's own Tiber flowed
again last night at the meeting Of
the Association of the Oldest IN

House at Nineteenth and H

The subject for the "reminiscences
was "Washington's Early Springs,
Pumps and Water Courses"
Before the testimony was all in,
the older members had Washing
ton resembling Venice. In fact,
Charles Bates remembered distinct
iy his father had told him about
hunting birds in a fiat-bottomed
boat along L street between
Eighteenth and Nineteenth street
NV.
The stream was known as the
Slashes and for want Of better
place to direct it, it was allowed to
run west to Rock Creek on L street,
after starting below the site OF
Henderson's Castle at Sixteenth
street and Meridian Hill and cross
ing the area now occupied by the
Mayflower Hotel.
Franklin Park Spring Recalled.
Fred Emery remembered the
Franklin Park Spring and using
the foot bridges at E and F streets,
which crossed the stream from 1t

But it was the Tiber that brought
out most of the talk. 1t may be
there are those among Washing
tons war-swollen population who
do not realize that in the old days
there were three streams flowing
into the Potomac at the Capital.
They were the Anacostia River,
Rock Greek and the Tiber.
William N. Handiboe of the Dis
trict engineers Office brought some
old maps to the meeting, which
showed where the Tiber flowed. It
was a considerable stream. The
Tiber flowed from three branches,
starting in the Ivy City railroad
yard and Soldiers Home areas,
meeting in the Northeast and then
skirting the Capitol to the west,
just at the foot of Capitol Hill.

Virginia Ruling Is Sought
On Listing as Republican
By the Assoeio4ed Press

RICHMOND, Va, June 3.-Levin
Mock Davis, secretary of the State
Board of Elections, said yesterday
he would ask Attorney General j.
Lindsay Almond, jr., to rule on
whether Republican Robert H.
Woods of Pearisburg can be identi-
fed as a Republican on Next No.
vember's ballots.
In certifying Mr.. Woods name as
the COPS candidate for the Sen
ate, F. Earle Lutz of Richmond, Re-
publican executive director, asked
that congressional ballots carry the
same party designations provided in
presidential elections under the new
nti-Truman" law.
Mr.. Davis said he believed the
new election act applies only to pres
idential elections, and that it made
no change in existing law for the
printing of ballots of congressional
elections. In order to avoid any
question on the matter, he said he
was asking the attorney generals
Office for a ruling.

Butter Below 80 Gents
Pound in D. T.. for
First Time in 1913
Buyers to Pay More for
New Pack of Canned
Fruits and Vegetables

Retail prices for top-grade
butter in Washington today
dipped below 80 cents a pound
for the first time in 1948.
Two big chains dropped their
prices 4 and cents to 70 cents tor
solid pound prints and 80 and 81
cents for the quarter-pound stick
variety. The 1913 high. in early
January, in one of the chains was
81 and SO cents for the same types
and grades.
The drop followed wholesale de-
clines at both the New York and
Chicago wholesale markets OF from
pa to 7 cents a pound during the
week. The decline was generally
blamed by the butter trade on plling
I'D of stocks in storage because OF
very slow consumer demand.
Margarine Prices Steady.
Margarine prices remain steady
today in local stores, selling from
around IS cents a pound for the
mix-it-yourself type to 81 cents for
the already colored variety in Il
pound sticks. This latter price in
cludes the 10 cents Federal tax.
The Associated Press reported
butter at retail in New York is
selling today at 70 cents and up
while a low of rs cents was reported
in Chicago by one chain.
Other prices in Washington re-
tail stores remained about the same.
Meats are still at recent highs
with some turkeys being offered at
SO cents pound for the small
size birds. Turkeys will be higher
during the holiday season this year
than they were in l947, the Agri-
culture Department has predicted.

consumers is that the new pack
