CITY AND DISTRICT.
AGAIN AT HIS POST.
Veteran Who Attends Door and
Sorts Mail at White House.
"William T. Lewis, the elghty-three
year-old policeman detailed at the White
"House, grumbled mightily today about
how he had been "pestered" because of
a etory in The Star of his having been
taken to his home a few days ago, too
weak in the legs to move around upon
his accustomed duties.
Mr. Lewis was back at his post in the
White House this morning, handling the
mail and looking after his regular duties.
He wanted to go back to his work the
day after the White House buggy took
him home. That was last Thursday.
"No, I'm not out of business by a ,
* hole lot." declarer! the veteran police- '
man, "but I certainly was l>othered be- j
cause that story appeared in The Star.
All my relatives and friends have been I
?pouring in on me right along, and I |
haven't sc*?n so much company in all the
years of my life before. And what do |
you think? Tn came the police surgeon. j
.fie saJd he had been sent up from head- j
quarters.
" "Well, doc.' I says, 'sfct down. But 1 j
ccrt:iinly didn't send for you, and 1 cer- ]
?talnlv don't need you. I just slipped j
?lowi! a.nd was shaken up so much for a j
few minutes that 1 couldn't get my leg^< ]
again. I "'11 be all ri^ht it) a day or ;
po.' No. T didn't need any medicine, and
the surgeon didn't icive me any. 1 am
perfectly healthy and abie to attend to
my work."
Sir. Lewis was warmly congratulated at j
the White House upon his return to work, j

tion along Flock creek.
The organization also believes that free

purchase Stratford Hall, the birthplace j
of Gen. Robert E. Lee, in Westmore- j
land county, Va.. is receiving the in- j
dorsement of the camps of the order in

now become a point of fact which can j
be settled only by the taking of testi- ;
mony. Attorney C. M. Fulton appeared j
for the realty company.

the debt upon St. Aloyslus Church. It
! stood upon the then college grounds in F

of speed, and. when the improvements
are completed, the post office elevators
will b? on a par with thos.? at the Dis
trict building, which are the best in any

Department said today that he expects j
to increase the load-carrying capacity j
of his elevators ."0 per cent as a result j
of the added speed and the signaling ]
devices.
