OFFERS TOPAY FOR
SWIMMING LESSONS
At BATHING BEACH
Commissioners Forced to
Decline Accepting Plan of
Arthur G. Moses.

The Commissioners received today
through E. s. Martin, supervisor Of
Fairgrounds, an offer from Arthur c.
Moses, president of the Washington
Fairgrounds Association to pay an in
structor to give swimming lessons to
boys and girls under fifteen years of
age at the bathing beach. While appre-
ciating the offer, the Commissioners are
undecided as to whether 1t can be ac-
cepted in view of the decision of the
Corporation Counsel that all fees col
lected at the beach must be turned into
the Collector of Taxes. AS the result
of this decision the life guards are pro-
hiblted from giving private lessons. and
during the regular hours are not per-
mitted by Superintendent H. B. Hudson
to act as instructors, their business be-
irons. 81.
: Practically no instruction In swimming
Is given, therefore, at the beach.
In view Of the statute which prohibits
the Commissioners from accepting vol
unteer services, 1t Is believed by Dis
trict officials that the offer of Mr Moses
can not be accepted. Decision will not
be reached, however, until a formal
opinion is rendered by the corporal ton
counsel to whom the question will be re-
ferred.
The Commissioners have referred TO
the Corporation Counsel also the ques-
ton of the return to the District of fees
collected by the guards for giving pri-
vate lessons. 1t Is admitted by the ac-
counting officers OF the District govern
cure tho return of these fees. as 1t
has been the practice of the guards TO
give private lessons since the establish
ment OF the bahing beach in 1891

have served as paymaster Of the gang
that killed Herman Rosentha! in New

that Mr.. Hitchcock was seeking his
