In one of the greatest basketball
games ever witnessed by local en-
thusiasts, George Washington decisively
defeated Georgetown University last
night bq 26 10 10 in the play-of of the
tie which existed between the two In

IN the two previous contests each

packed with the rival partisans, whose
cheers and college yells drowned all
other sounds from the beginning until
the completion Of the contest. while on
the floor itself an incessant din was
kept mp by the enthusiastic roOters.
Game Fiercely Contested.

The Best Team Won.
From a critical standpoint, the best

does not show the real strength Of the
Georgetown team. That tickle goddess,
chance seemed TO hover at all times

downtown institution.

FREEDOM FOR THE BOSS.

San Francisco is contemplating the granting of immunity to her grafting ex-boss, Abe Ruef, in order that he may the more readily "peaeh on his pals" and so send to jail few of the "men higher up." Assistant Prosecut. ing Attorney Heney says that Ruef s testimony is needed and that "public opinion seems to demand that Ruef shall testify even if he has to be grant ed immunity
 No man who is familiar with San Francisco and with Ruef can feel any thing but regret that the city should even contemplate making terms with the notorious little boss. Properly speak ing. there are no "men higher up" than Ruef. No other man in his state is capable of such consummate crook edncss, none has such a genius for in- stilling crookcdncss into others, and there are few who have his skill in get ting away with the spells. Men high and men low, men honest or cautious provided only that they be weak-fall under his spell. and once in his power they must all do his bidding. He is q human spider who weavcs his web with the greatest skill before he spreads it.. and the fatter the flies he catches the better he likes them. Unlike the great corporation president and moneyed bribc givers who fell with him, Rucf s power does not come from his position; :; it all resides within himself When Ruef puts his hat on all his power is under one roof Ono pun intended.) In spying out humanity's weak points, he is keen as a ferret in scenting pelf; he is sure as beagle in digging it out; he is persistent as a badger-and he is incoIrigiblc.
 Wherefore if Rucf goes free he will be boss again. There will be more bribcs and graft giving and taking, and San Francisco will again have Ruef at her throat sucking blood. The woy'; will have all been undonc and only a few weak fools in jail for another man s cutcncss to show for it. There is but one place properly fitted for Abe Ruef; that is the inside of con vict 8 striped suit down at the bottom of a rock quarry.
 But why should he be granted im- munityl Does anyone who really knows Ruef believe that necessary for secur ing his testimony9 For years he prey ed like an animal on San Francisco, and when men chased him at safe distance he turned on them, gnashed his teeth and bristled so fcrociously that they fled, thinking him terrible, saw

THE NATIONAL THEATER.

It is perfectly proper, according to league anything on the calendar while the session is on; were it not, the gal leries would remain empty, but after adjournment when one member tries to "run it over'' another, especially if the intended victim be from Mis- souri, there is bound to be something doing. Some people may eriticisc Messrs. Williams and D'Armond for their scuffle on the floor of the lower house yesterday, which resulted in a defeat for the minority leader in the initial round, but as the congressional season was opened in the presumably dignifed upper house with a comedy monologue by new southern senator, there is no reason why the lower house should not provide more serious enter tainment in the way of tragedy Sketch. Tn dt least SeflOuSheSs or pur' pose the lower house is thus far this session, way ahead of the senate and if it keeps up the present pace, the present corps of Washington cores pondcnts will be compelled to give way to staff of pugilistic dope dispensers and vaudeville critics.
 What is the need of national thc- ater erected at the cost of several millions as proposed by some lovers of the drama, when We have a billion dol lar congress that is willing and ready to fill the bill2 In it are clowns, mono loguc artists, fire eaters, sword swallow CTS and pugilistie artists, all of whom can double up into "'legit' and give an all-star performance of "The Spend CTS" at any old time No, we do not need national thcatcr. What we do need is a corps of Washington writers who know more about upper-euts, short, arm -iabs, foot-work, etc, than about politics and economies, so that the peo- pie at large who are paying the bills can be more fully informed as to what congress is doing.

And now that he is caught, Ruef will never be a docile captive until all his fellows are penned with him like deeoy elephant he will help his captors do the penning if he finds he cannot go free himself. But he is crafty. He hangs back and 2retends unwillingness. He is playing | waiting game. Stick his sentence on lim and it will soon be seen with what willingness he will help tic the sentence tags on the others.
