HISTORIC LAND
MARK TO BE
L TORN D OWN
PH1LADLPHIA, June 26 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Another landmark of
George Washington is to go into the
discard.
The historic Washington House,
noted as a hotel since 1746, is -to
be torn down as soon as prohibition
becomes effective, it is announced. In
its place will bo erected a modern
hotel, office building and theatre.
The place is filled with remin
iscenes of Washington ajid revolution
ar times. Washington retreated to it
after the disaster of Brandwine. A
bronze tablet reads: “In this room
September 11, 1777, Washington
wrote the only report of the battle of
Brandywine.”
Previously Washington had been a
guest in this hostelry then known as
the Washington Arms and again,
when making the journey from Wash
ington to New York when he was el
ected president, he with his retinue
had breakfast in the hotel’s dining
room. To commemorate this event
the Daughters of the American Revo
lution erected a tablet reading:
“This marks this house as the place
where Washington wrote at midnight
the only report of the battle of
Brandywine, September 11, 1777. Here
Washington also received the congrat
ulations of the people of Chester upon
his election as the first president of
the United States, April 20, 1789.”
After the evacuation of Philadel
. phia by the British army the name
of the hotel was changed to the
Washington House.
On each occasion when Washing
ton stopped at the hotel the best room
in the house was placed at his dis
posal. The fine mahogany chairs
which were in this room are still pre
served as historic relics.
When Washington departed from
Chester /or New York for his inaug
uration ceremony he rode a splendid
white horse, the gift of the citizens oi
Darby, Pa., nearby . As he road away
he passed the Plow and Harrow Inn,
which had the reputation of being Hie
best kept tavern in the colonies
There it was that Lafayette’s wounds
were dressed by Mary Gorman Ihs
night of the battle of Brandywine.

BRITT PICKS DEMPSEY
AS WINNER OF FIGHT
—•— *
SAN FRANCISCO, .Tune 26 (by As
sociated Press).—“Jimmy” Britt, tor
mer lightweight pugilist, is jne of
those who has gone on record a3 fav
oring Dempsey in his championship
heavyweight bout against Jess Wil
lard, the champion at Toledo on Inde
pence Day.
“Dempsey is the harder hitter of
the two,” said Britt, “Willard has
passed the fighting age and he never
was a man to polish off his opponents
in a hurry. Willard is bound to tire
early in the fight and to become more
tired as the fight goes on. Unless he
pickB off Dempsey at the start, I can’t
see that he has a chance."
MINERAL PRODUCERS
ARE SEEKING RELIEF
WASHINTON, June 27.—Delega
tions of mineral producers are here to
appear late this week before the house
ways and means committee in behalf
of their various industries. Tungsten,
magnesite, pyrites, sulphur and man
ganese, all of which were developed
as domestic industries through de
mands of the war boards are all in
cluded in tariff bills in the hands of
Chairman Fordney and it is under
stood that the tariff commission has
placed in the hands of the committee
several favorable statements urging
salvatipn for American war necessi
ies.
Hearings on minerals will continue
several days after potash, chemical
glass and dye witnesses have con
cluded their arguments.
Seward citizens certainly can ex
tend the hand of welcome to the
visitor and extend it in such a con
quettish way that the visitor is made
to feel perfectly at home. And the
greeting is a genuine one, too. This
was shown Tuesday night when a
dance was suddenly thought up for the
boys of the sub-chaser 310. Many of
Seward dancers had retired, but when
the word was slipped around that a
welcome was to be extended to visit
ors the bedcloths were given the toss
back and into dancing garments the
fair ones quickly arrayed themselves,
then off to the hall. And the boys were
given a good time and appreciated the
cordiality of the people of Seward,
and that is sufficient.—Seward Gate
way.
