GERMAN HOST PRESIDES TODAY AT WASHINGTON'S OLD TAVERN
XKW YORK, Feb. 'Jj; -They're
talking German toduv over the well-
worn table in Fraunees tavern where
George Washingtoir was wont to eal
in the days of the revolution.
A German host presides over the
historic landmark; German waiters
hustle in and out with German dishes
and the German speaking Americans
lift Gcrmnn-lookiux steins in the air
to a chorus of "Uoeli red I'raesi
dent !'
liut otherwisu the old tavern down
by the Battery is pretty much as it
was in the days when Washington and
his staff dined there, and when old
Landlord "Black s Sam" Fraiinees'
daughter saved the "Father of his
Country" from an assassins' plot.
It was here in this tavern, now more
than 200 years old, that Washington
delivered his farewell address to his
officers.
It was here, years before, that the
Sons of Liberty plotted lo Ihrotv over
board tiie tea that Kiigliiiul sent her
colonies, rather than pay the taxes on
it.
When it was built, the waters of the
upper bay lapped almost al its doors;
but the shoreline has moved south-j
ward with the centuries.
"Black Sam," a West Indian neiiro,
who took the place in 1 737, had n
daughter l'hoebe, who acted as Wash
ington's housekeeper while the gen
eral was in town.
The Knglislmian, Mickey , who be
came one of Washington's body-gimrd
and engineered the plot to murder him
became ihe lover of l'hoebe Fraunces.
To her he confided the assassins'
scheme, and souirht to enlist her aid
for a small part in il. But l'hoebe
Fraunces told General Washington,
and afterward saw her lovor hanged.
Fraunces sold the place in 1785,
and became Washington's steward.

STATE TO LEND
SALfcM, Ore., Feb. 22. Prepara
tions for admiuisteriiiK the rural cred
its law, passed by the legislature, were
made by the state land board at n
meeting held yesterday and it is ex
pected that within the week bids for
f,"0,000 in bonds will be called lor.
liesidcs dc'cidii-r that the state
should, as far as possiblo, purchase
the short term bonds, the. board in
structed Attorney General Drown to
prepare the necessary application
blanks, and instructions for the
school board attorneys who will re
ceive them. Cutler the law the hoard
is authorized to employ appraisers, :
but, for the present, work will be tier-'
funned by the school board attor
neys in the various counties. j
1'rovision is made in the law that i
JO per cent of the bonds shall be sub- j
jeet to call at any time after five
years, and 10 per cent after 10 years.
Tho remainder are long-term bonds.
State Treasurer Kay declared that il
would be impossible to sell short-term
bonds at par, but that he would pur
chase them at par with trust funds
held by him us treasurer. Under the
law a certain percent of principal, as
well as interest, mast be paid on (he
loan each year, and it is believed that
the long-term loans for the most part
will be asked for. The board mem
bers expect, during the first month, to
loan at least $2110,000.

LEGISLATURE GAVE
$1119EXTRA PAY
SAI.KM, Ore., Feb. 22., On the
lust night of the legislative session,
resolutions to pay various clerks and
stenographers .overtime, were put
through both houses, making another
dip into the money of the taxpayers
to the extent of $1,110.
Karly in the session, when the mem
bers were all shouting economy, reso
lutions were passed providing that no
overtime should be paid lo stenog
raphers and clerks, but the temptation
on the last night could not he resisted.
Senator J. C. Smith of Josephine
county was chairman of the senate
committee on legislative expenses, ami
his wife is in Ihe list of clerks, who
were paid for five days' Overtime at
$o a day.
The senate paid each of the enroll
ing and engrossing clerks for five
days' overtime. It paid the clerks of
tho judiciary and revision of laws
committees, each of whom received
$J0 a day, for two days' overtime.
Ill the house every stenographer
and clerk wns given at least one day's
overtime, while the stenographers em
ployed by Representatives lUiwmau.
Elmore, Howe and Scott, were each
given pay for five days' overtime.
It was explained that they were
given live days' extra pay because the
last day they did work for more than
one member. Representative Goode's
stenographer was given three days'
extra pay.
Eton the bouse consolidnlions coiu
initlce, which started out with five
clerks, and was forced by action of
the bouse to reduce the number to
two, paid one of its clerks for an ex
tra day, at $(i a day.
This legislature spent for clerks
and stenographers over $1,000 more
than did the VM't legislature.
