WITH THEIR REV0LVERS

Two men entered Flannlgan's saloon.
in e Street. early yesterday morning and,
while drinking there became enraged at
the negro porter. whereupon one of them
drew a pistol and ran the negro into the
basement.
Later the men were arrested by Pre-
cinet Detective Clifford Grant. who, on
searching them. found both armed with
large revolvers. The men gave a very
unsatisfactory account Of themselves.

their names are given as Edward Curtin
and Charles Danvers. They claim

WAR OF THE WORDS
GOES MERRILY ALONG
Puzzle Fiends Find Food in
Times Contest.
MANY SOLUTIONS SENT IN
Zach Subscriber Thinks His the Correct
0ne-Never Too Late
TO Begin.
MANY SOLUTIONS SENT IN

Are you making words?' is q famil-
lar question to a large number of Wash
inEtonians.
The inquiry, of course, relates to the
contest which The Times is conducting.
Just week ago today the contest be-
gan, and ever since early Monday morn
ing replies have been coming in from
residents of Washington, and. IN fact.
from ali over the territory in which The
Times circulates. A subscriber at Lang
don writes:
Enclosed IS my list of words. think
you win find it correct. as I have spent
good deaf of time on it"
The puzzle editor cannot tell about
that until the contest is over. because
there are q good many others who have
the same opinion of their solutions.
A Merry Competition.
Up in the northwest section of the
city there is a merry little competition
ewaging between a young man and his
sister-in-law. They have both been de-
voting a lot OF time 10 the problem, and
each r. sure that the other will not be
IN It." The fact, however, that neither
pollution has as vet reached The Times
Office indicates that each IL trying to
find out how many words the other has
made before venturing to put in his or
her answer.
Yesterday afternoon man brought IN
an answer accompanied by the letter
chart. which ne had converted into a
work Of art Ky eoloring all the different
combinations he had worked cut with
different ooIored crayons. The chart
looks Ike illustration OF foreign fags.
The puzzle editor does not know what
effeet this VIII have upon the correct
ness OF the answer. but he will give the
author A testimonial at any time upon
his ability as an artist
A Fascinating Puzzle.
Those who have not yet commenced
to work on the problem should not put
II OF too long. II is stu a good while
to the CLOSE OF the contest. and the soon
er work Is commenced on the puzzle the
longer time there Will be to improve on
the first effort.
great many who have brought in
their answers. and others who are still
working on theirs. have written that Il
was the most fascinating puzzle they
had ever undertaken 20 solve. IL is en-
tireiy different from any other propo-
sitloa IN matchmaking or spelling which
has ever been presented IN the puzzle
line. II should be remembered that II Is
not a contest or ability. as far as the
comma I'D OF vocabulary Is concerned
Big or difficult words will not avail any

and both wrists. and also swallowing a
quantity OF morphine.
Il was for this that he was sent TO
the Jefferson Hospital. whence he was
dismissed as cured Thursday. Since he
left the hospital doors nothing has been
heard from him. and his wife is pros
trated at their home. 73 East Nineteth
