'NEWSIES'G GAMBLE
Most of Paper Sellers in City
Gather in Alleys and Pitch
Pennies.
LARGE CROWD LOOKS ON
Cry of Cop Finally Scatters the
Boys and They Resume Their
Usual Occupation.

While dozens of people were scour-
ing the downtown districts yesterday
afternoon to find a newsboy from
whom they could purchase a paper,
boys were having a high time In the
alley between Eighteenth and Nine
teenth streets on Second avenue,
pitching pennies against the wall of
the building. They were all there.
from the biggest seller to the small
est Regardless of who put the cent
against the wall, the pennies were US
ually grabbed by the big ones because
of their strength. Excitement waxed
high the while the lads were pitching
pennies and dozens Of pedestrians
stopped for a minute to watch the
lads.
SCATTERED BY cor.
One fellow who had been looking
around for a paper for some time, dis
covered the gang in the alley and
wanted to purchase a paper, but the
"newsies" had no time for him. The
business of pitching cents was more
lucrative than selling papers, and then
there was the chance to gain some
thing for nothing. The big game,
which should really have been stop
ped in it's earliest stages because of
the desires which it might incite. was
finally brought to an abrupt close
when a policeman in the police -
drove past the alley. The cry of cop"
sent the bunch hurrying and scurrying
through the nearest and handtest ex-
it's from the alley, out Of the sight o.
everyone, and soon the business of
selling papers was resumed.

WERNER KOCH'SL|FE
Saengerbund Hall Resounds
With Laudations of
Uplift Work.

The esteem in which the late Wer-
ner Koch was held by the Germans OF
all classes in Washington was i'm
pressively shown by the people who
thronged Sangerbund Hall last night
to do honor to his memory. Lauda-
tory addresses were made by several
of the best known Germans in the
Nations Capital and approval was
given by Germans of every class, rich
and poor alike.
During the eighty years of his life,
Mr.. Koch did much in a personal way
toward the uplifting of his people and
through the medium vi his paper, upon
which he did active work until two
weeks before his death, he reached a
large field. Last night he was cred
tied by the speakers with doing more
to bring about the consolidation of
the Germans in Washington and rails
ing them in the public esteem than
any other man.
At the meeting last night more than
twenty-five societies were represented
by delegations. Not a German So
cfety in the District failed to have
personal representation.
