DAWES FAILS TO,
ESGAPE HIS
“MOT”
Vice President Goes to Con
cert Late, But Bandmaster
Outwits Him
Vice President Dawes r attending
the inaugural concert in the Wash
ington Auditorium last night, fail
ed utterly to escape the “Melody in
A,’’ his own composition, which
now follows him like a Nemesis
wherever he may go.
The Vice PresidenUJearning that
the Marine Band would play the
sprightly little air of which he has
become so terribly tired, purposely
arrived late at the concert.
"Ah!” thought Mr. Dawes, after
a hard day’s work, on the Hill
and elsewhere, “now I can enjoy
some good music that I. did not
write.”
Leader That Fooled.
But the ingenious William H. San
tlemann, leader of the band, had
had a bright thought early in the
evening. When the “Melody” was
to be played, Captain Santlemann
looked up and saw that the Vice
President’s box was still unoccu
pied. -
“The fourth number on the pro
gram,” he announced to the well
filled auditorium, indicating the
Dawes tune, "will be played later.”
So a substitute was played and the
eagle-eyed leader bided his time un
t l a round of lusty applause as
sured him that the Vice President
had taken his seat.
Dawes Laughs.
- Immediately the bandsmen shuf
fled their score back to the fourth
number. And the scheming Vice
president, who was waiting for
some less familiar music, started as
he looked down into the smiling
face of the bandmaster and heard
the great musical organization
strike up the inescapable "Melody!”
Surprise, chagrin and embarrass
ment gave way to the Vice Presi
dent’s sporting instincts. He laughed
good-naturedly, and the crowd re
sponded with an ovation. 4
The vocal numbers on the pro
gram were given by the Pittsburgh
Chamber of Commerce Male Chorus,
under direction of Harvey B. Gaul,
and the Sheldon Choral Society, of
Wilkes Barre. Pa., directed by John
Lloyd Evans.

Hoover Gets Into Hot Water
When He Hands Palm to
One Claimant
By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH.
Herbert Hoover has tackled some
rough, tough jobs in his time, such
as arguing with the German army
in Belgium, etc., but today he ran
up the white flag and hollered
Some time ago, in the course of
publishing coffee statistics, a part
of the job of being Secretary of
Commerce, he acknowledged receipt
of a letter from Edward Ostrander,
of Newark, N. J., who claimed the
title of the “champion coffee drina
or” of the U. S. A. and possessions.
Protests Pour In.
And now a storm of resentment
and protest of hurricane proportions
is beating around Hoover’s head
from all parts of the country. In
dignant citizens have poured hun
dreds of letters on his desk, dis
puting Ostrander’s claim and giving
the number of cups they consume.
Some of the communications are
insistent in demanding that Hoover
give the coffee situation his “per
sonal attention and reply at once.”
Several letters referred to Hoover’s
"advertisement for the champion.’’
and others assuming that he had
handed the title to Ostrander, de
manded that their claims be inves
tigated.
Judging unofficially from the
claims so far received J. H. Mosby,
of Eldorado, Mich., a patriarch of
seventy-four, would cop the title and
all prizes if any were offered.
8,000 Cups a Year.
Mosby consumes 8,000 cups of
coffee annually, according to his
letter. As an eater this claimant
also ranks high as be has five meals
daily.
Victor E. Hannigan, of Superior,
Wis., applied for the prize belt on
behalf of his father-in-law, Chris
Lustig. The elder Lustig took 7,606
cups a year for a period of thirty
years and undoubtedly therefoie
gets the marathon championship.
Mrs. Marie Offet, of Chicago
Heights, 111., rises “to tell the world
I can beat anyone, anywhere, drink
ing coffee.” In a personal letter to
Hoover Mrs. Offet pointed out that
she is a cook by trade, but adds: “I
sure can hit the old coffee pot.”
DIES WHEN PENNIES
■ FAIL FOR CHILDREN
NEW YORK, March s.—“Gram
pa” Ike Pickard, who always had
coppers and smiles and stories for
the children of Williamsburg, was
found dead in the rear of the
butcher shop where he had been 5
night watchman.
He had put one end of a ga» tube
in his mouth, turned on the gas,
and sat down in a niair to die.
It is believed he k.lled himself I
not cnly because he had insufficient
.money for his own needs, but be
cause there were not enough pennies
left to go around.
Pickard had once tx-en a prosper
ous wholesale butcher. Recently
he had been looking for odd jobs.
Now his body lies, unclaimed, in
the Kings county morgue. Efforts

HOD GIANT
LOST RAGE
Excavations in Nevada Are
Disclosing Mystery of
Prehistoric Times
By International News Service. ,
ST. THOMAS, Nev., March 5.
Pueblo Grande, Nevada’s long
city, believed to have been the
seat of a primitive people of giant
stature who ruled Western Amer-,
lea centuries ago, was being grad
ually restored today by excavators
working under M. R. Harrington,
director of the Museum of the
American Indian, who is heading
the Heye Foundation expedition into
the unknown prehistoric metropolis
in the Muddy and Virgin river val
leys, near here..
Exploration 'has been going on
for months, but only recently, ac
cording to Harrington, has excava
tion uncovered almost incontrovert
able evidence that the once lost city
will prove to be the largest prehis
toric ruin on the Western Hemis
phere.
Big, sturdy round adobe build
ings. some containing as many as
twenty rooms, with hard glazed
floors, have been excavated, reveal
ing under their circular courtyards
the graves of a vanished race, with
the skeletons found to average over
seven feet in height.
Buried With Twins.
A woman wrapped in a featherad
blanket was found in one circular
burial place, with a set of new
born twins buried with her.
From what can be seen at pres
ent the whole planning seems to
have been circular, the houses hav
ing walks radiating from a center
sacrificial altar or ceremonial fire
place.
In many mounds already 'un
earthed. Harrington has found beau
tiful shell jewelry, artistically cut
beads, and decorated pottery of
fanciful design, in addition to quan
tities of crude hunting Implements
and other primitive tools.
Several sets of perfectly formed
dice, .some with the corners round
ed, were discovered in clay urns.
Indicating a fondness of this race
gone by for the thrill of gambling.
The area embraced by Pueblo
Grande is eight miles wide and
extends intermittently with 150 out
croppings for thirty-five miles down
the Muddy and Virgin river valleys.
Strata upon strata, layered with
colored pottery and implements,
have been unearthed, with the
crudest implements usually burled
at the greatest depths.
Had Class Distinctions.
Evidence that class distinction
prevailed among the vanished
Nevada race was furnished when
it was observed that some of the
giant skeletons were found to have
far more objects of art surround
ing them than the average burial
mound contained.
Many implements were dis
covered differing in -Construction
from the majority of those found
in the lost city, giving rise to the
theory that perhaps more than one
city had thrived over the same
spot. 51
Evidences that in more modern
times both Pueblo and Piute Indian
tribes had lived in the Muddy
and Virgin river valleys's.were also
uncovered.
Harrington said he expects to
continue his excavations until the
riddle of Pueblo’ Grande has been
completely solved.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., March 5.
A new-born baby boy, said by
