shook his walking-stick at the
captain and swore before all men
that he would cane the officer in

pany If Capt. Digges did not
forthwith leave. The captain re-
peated his demand-and let it
go at that.
Bricks in Cannon.
By this time the students and
townsmen who had been collecting
powder arrived with enough for a
round of two-but there were no
shot with which to charge the
guns. That did not deter Col.
Innes. He had the cannon loaded
with brick bats and defled Capt.
IDigges to open fire.
Prudently the captain retired.
The ball doubtless was resumed
and was continued as long as the
punch held out. The next day,
Col. Innes was summoned to court
for melting a riot, and at the bar
he was confronted by Capt.
IDigges. The colonel repeated his
threat to cane his accuser, whether
Capt. Digges had on a red coat
or a black coat. Thereupon, the
judges indulgently dismissed the
case as a frolic in which nobody
was hurt. Col. Innes, who later
had a brilliant legal career, left
the courthouse in triumph.
Confusion Over Date.
An account of this birthday Gel
ebration in Williamsburg was
printed in the Virginia Gazette of
February 26. 1779. and was read,
no doubt. in Winchester, of the
same State, with some perplexity.
Winchester. too, had observed the
birthday, not for one day but for
three-and had started on Febru-
|ary II, rather than on the 22d.
The reason was that Washington
had been born before the change
in the calendar. and saw the light
on February II. "old style" Win
chester had selected the original
and Williamsburg the corrected"
date.
Like confusion lasted for years.
In 1870, during Washington's
first term as President, some Of his
friends inquired of his secretary,
Tobias Lear. whether they should
observe the 18th or the 22d. Mr..
Lear replied that the 18th was
"old style" but that, unhappily,
some of the almanac makers had
set the birthday down opposite
to the 18th day Of February Of the
present style"
Two years later, when Thomas
Jefferson made a similar request
concerning the proper date, Mr.. |
Lear wrote him, 1.-THE President
considers the 22d day of this
month as his birthday" That fixed
it. America has observed the 22d
ever since-but never as exuber-
antly as at Williamsburg when
the Declaration of independence
was only three years old.

reach his 47th birthday. the stu
dents Of the College Of William
and Mary decided to have a ball
at the Raleigh Tavern on the
night Of February %, and they
circulated a subscription list for
the affair.
One Of the first on whom the
student committee waited for in
dorsement and contribution was
Gov. Patrick Henry. He shook
his head sternly. No, sir! When
the country was at war and was
facing the worst of danger, he
could not think Of any sort of
rejoicing. Two members of the
Council Of Virginia were. of the
same mind. A ball, they said,
would be wasteful and out of
place, even for Gen. Washington.
Students Undeterred.
The students went ahead with
their plans, in spite of disapprov-
al. and they had the hearty sup
port Of 1t. Col. James Innes, a
retired officer of the 18th Vir-
ginia. Continental Line, and one
time usher of the grammar school
OF the college. Col. Innes was a
Navy commissioner at the time
and, as one of Washington's vet
Grams, was determined that the
celebration should be emphatic.
On the night Of the ball, Col.
1nnes and some Of his friends
seized two cannon belonging to
the State Of Virginia and brought
them to the door of the tavern
to punctuate the toasts to Wash
tngton and to the Army. Unfor-
tunately. no powder was found
with the cannon. This necessi-
tated visits to nearby citizens,
with requests that they pour out
little Of their private stock to
load the cannon.
Return Demanded.
Before enough for a salute
could be begged, one of Gov.
Henry's officers, 1t. Vaughan,
came to the tavern and demanded
the return Of the cannon. In
stead Of restoring them to him,
the subscribers to the ball carried
him inside, gave him as much
punch as he would drink, and
paid no heed whatever to his
statement that he had orders to
recover the guns by force, If nee

He was laughed out Of the
Apollo Room and soon was knock

M. H. Rosenhouse, candidate
for County Solicitor, charged yes
terday that the County Solicitors
office has been negligent in its in
vestigations in Dade county.
In a speech before campaign
workers at his headquarters, 479
w. Flagler ST., Mr.. RoSenhouse,
suggested that the County Solicit
tor equip car or truck with all
devices necessary to conduct an
investigation on the spot and
that whenever a crime has been
committed, that the County So
licitors staff go to the scene of
the crime and conduct a prelimin-
airy investigation in conjunction
with the sheriff's office, or any
other law enforcement agency
operating in the county.
"The County Solicitors office
has, all the powers of investiga-
tion," said Mr.. Rosenhouse. It
seems to me that if the County
Solicitor investigated these crimes
first hand, he would be in a bet
ter position to bring the guilty to
justice" In the past Mr.. Rosen-
house added "this has not been
done and the prosecution of
crimes in Dade county has been
a hit and miss affair"

AL officials here were elated
at Eisenhower's choice; the CLIO

Sen. Watkins (R-Utah) said he
was confident that Eisenhower's

confirm him.
Secretary of Labor Tobin, whom
Durkin will succeed, offered his
congratulations and pledged full

"President-elect Eisenhower has

Durkin, president of the plumb
