ASK THE RICH TO AID POOR

London. Feb. 1.-THE most important
British sociological report in many years
has Just been issued. For more than
three years a royal commission compris-
ing experts in poOr-law administration
and IN social economics. have been iaves-
tigating the British poor laws and the in
dustrial and social conditions which led
10 unemployment and the production Of
men and women who cannot be employed.
Some Of the most striking Of these. in
which both the majority and minority
agree. are the abolition Of general work
houses and boards Of poor-law guardians.
Throughout the reports an appeal Is
made TO the prosperous 10 cooperate by
personal service in the relief Of the poor.
and especially 10 set the poor a good
example. The increasing extravaganza in
dress. the craving for amusement. and
the subordination Of the serious side OF
life 10 frivolity are declared TO be habits
that are responsible for much pauperism
and distress.

chase was not expensive, for it was ar

List for Finals Next Wednesday.

The preliminaries for the big Carroll
Institute wrestling tournament, the finals
Of which viii be pulled of on February
a. were held last night in Ryan gymna-
stun at Georgetown. and brought several
Of the classiest mat artists in the District
into good. clean. fast competitions
As a number Of special bouts have been
arranged for the tourney and as many Of
the entrants could be paired without pre-
liminary trials. only three matches were
wrestled last night, all of them offering
good entertainment to the big crowd Of
Georgetown students. The management
Of the preIminaries was well-nigh per-
feet, and II the finals are handled in the
same manner the budding wrestling game
VIII without doubt receive another boost.
AS soon as one pair had finished. an
other came 10 the mat. and in this man
ner the usual lull which nearly always
attends these affairs was avoided.
Chism Beats Schmidt.
The first bout. between Herman
Schmidt. OF the Columbia Turnverein. and
Al Chisn. went 10 the latter after nine
minutes Of grueling work. both men being
al the worse for the wear and tea. a,
the conclusion.
The winner was far superior IN ma;
knowledge. and although he had his op-
ponent IN tight places on more than one
occasion. he was not able % gain fall
on account OF the strength OF the German
grappier. who invariably twisted out Of
dangerous holds.
In the second bout T. A. Gun had
things al his own way. putting his Op-
ponemt J. Sautiat, down within the a.
lotted time.
The last bout vToved the most interest
ing OF the evening. George Washington
and Georgetown meeting for the first
tine in many moons. Pagan, for the
Hatchetites. and Connolly. Of the Blae
and Gray. were opponents. and after an
interesting prologue. in which the George
town athlete lodged charges with Referee
