BIRTHPLACE OF G. 0, P. PARTY IS DEBATECENTER Plans for Kansas City Fete Approved by President; Argument Rages. BY ROBERT MOOREFIELD United >'ress Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. B.—The Question, “where was the Republican party bom?” has been asked at the White House following requests that President Coolidge indorse plans to commemorate the seventyfifth anniversary of the party with a celebration in Kansas City, Mo., this year. President Coolidge has made known he is in favor of observing the seventy-fifth anniversary of his party with appropriate ceremonies, and he is indorsing the plans of Kansas City. However, it was pointed out on behalf of the president that the birthplace of the party is in controversy. The White House said Jackson, Mich., and Ripon, Wis., also claim the honor. The Encyclopedia Americana states the origin of the party can not be properly ascribed to any particular date or place. Horace Greeley, New r York publisher and political leader, is believed to have first mentioned the name in a letter setting forth his political views. The first important convention to adopt it was held at

.{({.V '' a ..--' n---

Ohio’s bridge across Sandusky Bay, planned for many years, at last has become a reality. Here is the newly completed span, two miles long, twenty-five feet wide, cost $2,000,000 and required two years in -building. It shortens the Cleveland-Detroit highway, one of the nation’s principal motor routes, by twenty-five miles. It wa sdedicated Feb. 2.

Jackson, Mich., July 6. 1854, the Americana says. Virtually at the same time, however, there were conventions in Maine, Illinois, Massachusetts, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and lowa. The name “Republican” did not appear on the roster of congress until December, 1855. The party held its first national convention in Philadelphia, June 17, 1f.56, and nominated John C. Freemont of California for President. This convention met as a result of a call by “informal” convention in Pittsburgh the preceding February, Americana says. Ripon, Wis., has always made a strong claim to being the birthplace of the Republican party. Apparently it is a controversy

which, having existed for seventyfive years, probably never will be settled. DISCOVER BITUMEN BED Valuable Liquid Located in Great Salt Lake Area. SALT LAKE CITY. Feb. B.—A bed of about 2,000 acres of bitumen has been discovered beneath the waters of the great salt lake. It is a black, viscious molasses-like liquid, and when cleared of its impurities and combined with reclaimed rubber, forms an excellent substitute for hard rubber in "the use of battery boxes, switches, etc.

Depending on its success, Mrs. Rowson has offered it to be used by Chief Boatswain Ernest Carl Becker of the United States coast guard base at Cape May, N. J., who is to take charge of an expedition to salvage s6.ooo,(fc>o worth of treasure, including emeralds of the Empress Charlotte of Mexico, sunk in the Merida in 1912. The Merida was rammed 100 miles off the Virgihia Capes by the steamer Admiral Farragut. Becker, himself an adventurous figure, appealed to Mrs. Rowson and she has volunteered to accompany the crew on its search for lost treasure as well as allowing the use of her device. Becker said he will be glad to have Mrs. Rowson accompany the cruise if suitable quarters may be found aboard his vessel. He said he wall make experiments and that if the “undersea eyes” are suitable for salvage she will siiare in the prize. Eyeglasses did not become popular until 1290.

MILLIONAIRE IN STATE POST AT SI OJOOSALARY New Lieutenant-Governor ( of New York Works for Love of Job. BY HAROLD E. RIGHTER, United Press Staff Correspondent ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. B.—The state of New York has a millionaire as Lieutenant-Governor and pays him SIO,OOO a year. He is Colonel Herbert H. Lehman. But what New York is more particularly interested in is Colonel Lehman’s uncanny business ability and peculiar talents along the lines of organization, buying, selling and the like. Colonel Lehman, with a personal fortune of $25,000,000, which offers the Lieutenant-Governor opportunity to pursue the daintier avoca-

tion of clipping coupons, is learning l all about state government under Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. He met Governor Roosevelt during the World war when the Governor was assistant secretary of the navy. Colonel Lehman was assigned to help General George Goethals and then it was learned that he had unusual knowledge of business and financing, an apparent passion for work and a talent for organizing. There is far too much to tell of New York’s Lieutenant-Governpr. Although one scarcely hears of the Lieutenant-Governors in the various states, Colonel Lehman’s job is to be an important one, according to the ideas of Governor Roosevelt. Colonel Lehiqan w’ill sit in on all state business and act as the Gov-

ernctf’s representative whenever called upon. Lehman gave up many directorships and associations in many business interests to learn all about state government “from the bottom up.” For instance, he was a director in the Studebaker Corporation, vice-president and treasurer of a textile concern, a director in the Franklin ;-imon Company, Fidelity Trust Company. Van Raalte Company and more than that. Mistletoe was known to the Druids as “all heal;” they regarded it as an antidote to all disease.
