Rough Rider Recalls Poroding

District Man, IA,
Was One of so
Who Rode in 1905

Eugene Heitter, "a, plans to
take a good look at the inaugu-
raj parade OH Tuesday to see
how it compares with the one he
rode in back in 1905.
Mr.. Heitter, who lives at 625
Longfellow street NV, remem-
bers that old inauguration
Theodore Roosevelt's-well. He
was one of a group of so Rough
Riders" who rode to the White
House.
Members Of the group were
cowpunchers and ranchers from
South Dakota and Wyoming.
Each was mounted on his favor
ite bronco. Tom Mix, who later
became a great cowboy movie
star, was one of the Rough
Riders" Mr.. Heitter recalled:
Mrs. Heitter still has a collec-
ton of photographs and memen-
tos from that parade. One is a
picture of the cowboys taken on
the site now occupied by Grif-
fifth Stadium.
He said the Rough Riders"
were guests of Mr.. Roosevelt the
night before the inauguration at
a dinner.
"We gave his kids a white
pony" Mr.. Heitter said. I'VE
learned afterward that they
used to haul it up and down the
White House elevator"
He displayed proudly a berib-
boned badge Mr.. Roosevelt gave
them after the dinner. E
Mr.. Heitter said the Washing
ton residents expected him and
his mounted, gun-toting COM
panions to shoot up the town.
Not one. of us got into trou-
ble," he said. There were no
arguments and no drinking"

faced the problem posed by the
difference in capacities of the

The formula was set but then
revised several times to overcome
various objections and to satisfy
a number of Republican leaders,
including the high command of
the G. o. P. National Committee
Despite the delays, General
Chairman Joseph c. McGarraghy
expressed confidence that all
would work out well. He said
he believes ticket distribution is

There will be many a fancy,

in connection with the inaugural,
but none come any fancier than
those to the peanut party
scheduled for Miss Burma, the
elephant.
The host is the Capitol Hill

which found quarters for the
G. o. P.'s parade mascot. The
guests will be children of the
area. The place is the fire de-

The committee was unable to
issue tickets until this policy
was adopted because it could not
let the holder know where he
would be admitted.
The tedious job of mailing
tickets to distant points began
so late that the list could not
be cleared before inaugural
visitors started leaving their
homes for Washington. The COM
mittee has stopped mailing to
States west of the Mississippi
and will take care of these cards
when the visitors arrive in the
Capital.
All persons who are entitled to
ball tickets but who have not re-
ceived them when they reach
Washington will be asked to pick
| up the credentials at inaugural
headquarters, 1920 Pennsylvania
avenue NV.
Guests from the District and
the nearby States probably will
not have to call for their tickets
because the time element is IA
vorable for mail distribution in
these areas.
Committee officials said there
also has been delay in the is
suance of the formal invitations
to the ball. These cards. which
many persons want to preserve
as souvenirs. will be mailed as
fast as possible. even after the
inauguration, if necessary.

License Transfer 70 Area
OF Soldiers Home Denied

The Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board has refused applica-
ton Of Isadore Egbert to transfer
his package liquor store license
from 1903 U street NV. to 225
UpShur street NV.
At a hearing on November 4,
objections to the transfer were
registered by Gen. Wade H. Hal
slip, governor of the Soldiers
Home, and other officials there,
as well as by three churches and
two citizens associations.
The Soldiers Home officials
testified that the Upshur street
address was a short distance
from the main gate of the home
and that, for many years. they
tried to keep alcoholic beverages
from the residents of the home.
In denying the request for a
transfer, the board said it was
acting in the best interests of
the area and the Soldiers Home.

Soon. Jordan police and Arab
Legion troopers using armored

were engaged on a fantastic
game of hide-and-Seek with

The deSert-wiSe BedouinS tried
all their tricks to keep their "un-

official expedition, escorted by
soldiers. cleared 40 caves in
race against time-and the ava
ricious tribesmen.
But the Bedouins won hands
down. In a cave only a few
hundred yards away from the
original find. they uncovered
another pile of manuscripts
later to prove second in impor-
tance only to the Hebrew texts.

circled the hiding place.
But they found only a few
scraps of paper scattered about
the sandy floor. Hilltop sentries
had given the alarm in good time
and the tribe, its camel saddle
bags bulging with manuscripts,
had escaped into the desert.
Fearful of fines and imprison-
ment, the Bedouins lay low for
a few months. But then greed
overcame caution and new
emissaries secretly approached
Britons working for the Jordan
government.
Elevating the Importance Of
the manuscripts above the law,
the Britons finally secured Off

Biblical Manuscripts Yield
Huge Black Market Profits

cause official funds to cover
such "black market" purchases

The Bedouins first realized the
value of manuscripts when two
goatherds stumbled across a
mass of them in a cave overlook

"black market" in antiquities
which has developed among Jor-

desert wastes around the Dead
Sea.
TribeSmen have apparently
rejected goat tending and camel
raising in favor of organized
searches for early Biblical manu-
scripts known to be scattered
about remote caves.
When they locate them, the
Bedouins are demanding any,
thing up to $4,000 for a single
