CHILDREN HERE NOT J
FREQUENT VISITORS
At MOUNT VERNON
Figures Show That Only 25
Per Cent of Them Have
Seen Tomb.

1t is estimated that not to exceed %
per cent of the school children in the
District of Columbia have visited the
tomb OF Washington at Mt. Vernon.
This estimate was made at the Office
of the secretary OF the Board of Educa-
tion after attention had been drawn to
the exact figures in the Fifth district,
which show that only 23.6 per cent of
the school children there had visited
Mt Vernon.
The enrolment in Washington schools
for January was 5l92S For the entire
year ending June, 1911. the enrolment
was 1854. on the estimate made above
this would indicate that about 1900
Washington children have visited the
tomb, who produced a revenue of $500
for the Mt. Vernon Ladies' Association.
The proportion OF children who have
made the journey becomes of particular
interest since Hill Carter, attorney for
the association, has charged r. NJ.
Lowder, in the hearings before the Vir-
gina house committee on public grounds,
with attempted blackmail.
Lowder denies the charge and said
that he was moved to threaten to
start something when he saw five
little school children denied admission
to Mt Vernon because they did not
have 25 cents each to pay the gateman.

OUCRAy AND COX
PLEASE CROWD
Scrap Before Eagles Was Fast. Inter

Anxious to Get Public Wrest-
ling Match with DuCray.

Speed. cleyerness and Willingness
to mix il made the sparring match be-
tween Frank Du Cray and Joe Cox
before the Eagles last night highly
satisfactory to the crowd of a hun
dred or more who saw IT, Both men
were willing to give and take and
neither seemed to suffer greatly from
me damage inflicted.
Cox, rangy and fast, did not de-
velop the ring generalship that was
expected of him after the go before
the Mesa club a week ago. He pep
pered Duke over the kidneys until
there was a red blotch as big as a
dish pan, but the bout was too short
for the effects to be felt by the local
man. He could not solve Du Cray's
defense and only occasionally got IN
a rocking head blow or steamy body
punch that seemed to worry his op-
ponent
On the other hand. Du Cray was
always short on range He jammed
his glove in the face. head and body
of the tall boy. but his arm exten-
sion wasn't working and the power
did not materialize Anyway. Dukes
muscles haven't been trained lately
for hitting as much as for pulling and
plainly undeyeloped He did poke in
some good ones that bothered Cox
but the Chicagoan never failed to
come back.
Duke received an uppercut that un-
balanced him at one time, and he
went to his knees for count of two.
He grinned as he went back for more
Following the bout Cox asked the
crowd @ force Du Cray into a public
wrestling match with him Il think
I've shown enough good work here
tonight TO earn public appearance

dent want q private go. Let me try
him out i'm public"

stung once before by spending good
money to see a bout shat was fl
esco. II want the sports of Grand

The crowd. however, was anxious

Justify for a public match. When
asked for a show of hands as to how
many would see such match there
was about enough hands up to total
S25.
When it is understood that ii takes
$3.50 house to pay expenses for
bout in this city, the fans can see
one reason why a public appearance
is not especially alluring to promot-
ers.
