London, Oct. 2. The quaint little house in Craven street where Benja min Franklin lived in his more pros perous days, and from which he is sued his delightful series of papers called the "Craven Street Gazette," forms part of a block of property which has been purchased for the con struction of a large hotel, and, unless immediate steps are taken to save it, this historical building will be torn down. An appeal has been made to Americans to save the house and a proposalwill be made to the hotel builders to include Franklin's rooms within the new building. The house is now conducted as a small residential hotel, much fre quented by Americans. It bears above the front doorway the follow ing tablet, "Lived here Benjamin Franklin, printer, philosopher and statesman. Born 1706, died 1790." Here the great American philoso pher resided after he had served, nis hard apprenticeship in London and during the absence of his landlady, Mrs. Stevenson, from home he enter tained his fellow boarders with the issue of a whimsical series of papers called the "Craven Street Gadette.' One of the paragraphs was as fol lows: "At six o'clock this afternoon news came by the post that Her Maj esty (Mrs. Stevenson) had arrived safely at Rochester on .Saturday night. The bells immediately rung fgr candles to illuminate the parlor; the court went into cribbage, and the evening concluded With -every demon stration of joy," The tablet was affixed to the house, - . , 1 k..iu i in it, by the Society of Arts, before the London Countl. Council undertook the work of marking the one-time homes of eminent persons in London. Frank lin was not the only famous resident of Craven street. At various periods the poet Akenside and Heinrich Heine lived there, and James Smith, the author of "Rejected Addresses," died in a house not far from the Franklin house. In his Comic Mis cellany, Smith wrote: "In Craven street, Strand, ten attor- neys find place, Apd ten dark coal barges are moor'd at its base; Fly Honesty, Fly! seek some safer retreat, For there's craft in the river and craft in the street." About this Si George Rose wrote the following lines: "Why should honesty fly to some safer retreat, From barges and attorneys, 'od rot 'em? For the lawyers are just at the top of the street And the barges are just at the bot tom." Business judgment rather than sen timent probably will lead the hotel owners to include the Franklin apart ments within their new building, as Several historic houses of entertain ment in London pay heeavy dividends because Amerfcjan tourists put up with bad. food and poor service on ac count of historical associations. And, moreover, some of these lack the historical authenticity of the Frank lin house. SQUAWS' GOWNS VALUABLE Dresses of Two Indian Worth $7,000. Girls Are Lewiston, Idaho, Oct. 2.

Ambassador to Russia. Washington, Oct. 2. the Russian Government today, in reply to inquiry from the State Department, signified that Henry M.

Author , of "Sneak Bill" Denounced And Investigation Ordered. ' Representative Bellamy Wants Inquiry Into 'State Working Convicts on. Railroads. Special to The Dispatch. Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 2. In the" House today ex-Judge A. W. Graham, of Granville, succeedingHRepresenta- tive Devin, resigned, wassworn In. Representative Justice introduced a bill to apply the Minnesota freight rate act to North Carolina, in a mod- , ified form. A bill was introduced by Represen tative Bellamy, of Brunswick, for a r. legislative commission to investigate th status of the practice of the State in hiring out convicts for railroad construction, in exchange for stock. He told of fifty convicts that had re cently been taken from the Norfolk & Southern and sent to Henderson county for road work, where the State was actually being charged for wood being burned in cooking meals. Au gust expense cost the State $1,100, whereas, the Norfolk & Southern was paying $1.50 per day for each man, m pared with no revenue from them now. ;The House recalled from the Senate today the Bumgarner . bill, which was . found, under the guise of a purely lo cal measure, to transfer Wilkes coun-. -ty from the Seventh . back, to" the Eighth Congressional district The Senate sent with- it the report of .the k Judiciary Committee, . which denounc- : ed it as misleading in title,. calculated . to deceive and violating the confl- dence the House hast always placed in its members in local matters, and ex pressed . contempt of the . committee" for the bill &n$ its author. This was r yi signed" TSjr "A: Senator, among, others, and thas peen V 4 ordered, spread on the journal of the Senate. Representative Bumgarner said Democrats as well as Republicans had suggested the bill, . but that , he assumed full responsibility and would take the odium. The House provided for a commit tee of five to 'investigate the conduct of Representative Bumgarner and re port. The House, in committee of the whole, failed to give three-fifths ma jority for proposal seven, to have. the State divided into five circuits of' Su perior Court. The vote was 62 to 40. Friends of the measure still hope to get the "five circuits" proposal through o nthe floor, to take the place of present State-wide rotation. .
