BIG QUESTIONS OF STATE STILL TO BE SOLVED Secretary of State Hughes Will Take Brief Rest. HAND ON PUBLIC PULSE Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. | WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—The termination of the armaments conference leaves Secretary Hughes, perhaps the hardest worked man in America, with hardly lime to catch his breath before plunging into the task of dealing with numet ons State Department problems set aside temporarily in favor of the conference negotiations. Mr. Hughes, It is understood, is considering only the briefest sort of rest, a vacation of ten days at the most, to refresh himself and If he absents himself from the State Department at all he will not get far away from Washington. The Secretary of State intends to hold himself in readiness for any service he can render when the treaties, growing out of the conference are considered by the Senate. IMPORTANT MATTERS PENDING. Among the important matters pending before the State Department, which will be given almost immediate attention by Mr. Hughes are: The distributltlon of the former German tables in the Atlantic; a German-Ameri-can commercial treaty, and similar treaties with Austria and Hungary; the Tacna-Arica negotiations between Chile and Peru to be held In Washington under the auspices of the United States; the Mexican question, which has been held in abeyance for more than three months; questions involving private loans to a number of Latin-American governments; the Chinese consortium; the Anglo-American controversy in regard to kthe Mesopotamia mandate; the situation "in Haiti, San Domingo, Central America, and a host of other smaller problems. NO CHANGE IN MEXICAN POLICY. So far as can be learned, it is not the policy of the Secretary of State to propose any modification of the Govern ment’s Mexican < policy, nor even to undertake any new discussion, formal or Informal, with the representatives of the ■Mexican government, until the depart‘ment’s slate is cleared of other important and pressing matters. There is also expectation that Congress will act at an early date on a measure authorizing the return to China of the unpaid balance of the It Mis been suggested that inasmuch as Chinese parents in increasing numbers are sending their sons and daughters to this country to be educated, there is no reason why the Boxer indemnity should continue to be used for educational purposes. A project is being advoated whereby the money might be used in the building of some great public work, such as a railway, or on (he embankments <f the Yellow River, known as China's sorrow, on account of its frequent and devastating inundations. It Is said that the project is favored by Chinese diplomats anr would be eminently acceptable to the Chinese government.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company. “AD” CU B LUNCHEON.

Highways and By-Ways of LiF OF New York (Copyright, 1922, by the Public Ledger Company.) By RAYMOND CARROLL.

Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—A bullseye golo watch once worn by President George Washington, along with other Washing ton relics and memorabilia, is to be sold at auction in New York City on Washington’s birthday. The priceless timepiece was inherited In a direct line of descent by its present owner, William Lanier Washington of 105 East Nineteenth street, the heredity representative of President Washington in the Society of the Cincinnati through Col. William Augustine Washington also willed It to his grandson, James Barroll Washington, father of the living Mr. Washington. President Washington was childless, the people of his day and ever since rightly calling him the Father of his country. But he left a flock of nephews and nieces. He willed swords to five oi his nephews, the eldest, Col. William Augustine Washington, having first choice. “My ancestor received the sword given to President Washington by Frederick The Great,” said William Lanier Washington. "This sword is now the property of the State of New York, having been acuired through the widow and second wife of Col. Lewis William Washington, who was my grandfather. Another gold watch than the one I am offering was given by President Washington to another of his nephews. Justice Bushrod Washington of the United States Supreme Court, also, in turn, willed it to his friend, Robert Adams of Philadelphia, and it is still in the Adams family.” GIVING UP TREASURES VERY B -LU’CTA.NTLY. Mr. V ashingfon is parting with his family treasures with the keenest reluctance, and he said to me that he was most anxious for the relics to find good homes. A quarter of a century ago he lived in Pittsburgh, and was chairman of the board of directors of the Pittsburgh Sheet Steel Company and president of the Elliott-Washlngton Steel Company. “We sold our mills to what Is now the United States Steel Corporation and just twenty-two years ago I came to New York City to live,” said Mg. Washington. “For seven years I was out of business. Then I enterod a brokerage house for a few years, and since my retirement from that firm I have engaged in no business.” Mr. Washington Is tall, slender and gray-haired. He bears a striking resemblance to some of the Gilbert Stuart paintings of President Washington. He like President Washington, is childless, the last of his line after generations of only-son ancestors. In a sense Mr. Washington is doubly related to President Washington, for his ancestor, Col. William Augustine Washington, married his own firft cousin, Jane Washington, a sister of Justice Bushrod Washington and a daughter of Col. John Augustine Washington. who was a full brother of President Washington. Col. William Augustine Washington was a son of Col. Augustine Washington, who was an elder half-brother ot George Washington. MORE PRECIOUS AS YEARS PASS. As the United States grows older, the more precious becomes momentoes and relics which quicken into reality the lives and characters of our early statesmen. These bits of human history, however, are fewer and farther apart as the years go by, so that a sale of authentic Washington relics Is an event of interest not only to the collector, but to the whole American public. The bulk of the treasures which William Lacier Washington finds himself obliged to dispose of came into his possession by direct inheritance. Their extent was augmented by the Intermarriages of his antecedents, purchases from

other descendants and acquisitions from outside sources through the natural Incentive of family. His own mother, Jane Lanier Washington, made a hobby of adding to the collection which, in part, recently was exhibited as a loan to the Jumel mansion, Washington's headquarters on Washington Heights. The Washingtoniana now offered for sale at the American Art Galleries by George Washington’s great-great-nephew, includes President Washington's gold seal with the family coat-of-arms cut in carnelian. While the gold watch carries no Inscription, upon its back is the Washing! on crest. The watch was made In France about 1790 and undoubtedly was worn by George Washington when he retired from the presidency in 1797 and returned to Mt. Vernon, his journey thither being marked by popular demonstrations of affection and esteem. lAt Mount Vernon the watch saw the "first president” resume the plantation life which he loved, the society of his family and the care of his slaves, all of whom were made free under his will read after his death in 1799. OTHER RELICS ARE INCLUDED IN LO . The relics further Include: A massive hot water urn of jbeffield plate engraved with the Washin /ton coat of arms, which was used at Me unt Vernon; a large and elaborate mirror from Mount Vernon; two silver tablespoons bearing impress of an Albany silversmith of the late eighteenth century, which were presented to George Washington at the time of his inauguration by his friend and associate In arms, Gen. George Clinton, Governor of New York; gold pins, mounted with pearls and connected with a gold chain, used by George Washington for fastening his neck stock; surveyor's plotting scale of brass engraved with Washington's Initials ; armlets of gold and coral given by George Washington to his nephew; Washington’s medicine cabinet and bottles; snuff box, containing a lock of his hair; and given to a nephew; a silk waistcoat pattern sent to Washington by Lafayette; gold ring, enameled “Pater Patriae,” enclosing a lock of Washington’s hair; letters to Washington from eminent men; original survey by Washington and other Important signed documents and valuable relics of Martha Washington, Washington's mother, Eleanor Park Custis, and other members of the Washington family. Think of it, George Washington's hair going, going, gone on the auction block. In what country on the faceVf the globe other than the United States could this happen? Think of It again, and keep thinking—a part of the living man, a nation’s greatest and most idolized hero, red-flagged and bartered to the highest bidder on his birthday, a National holiday.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.
