DECLARED fARCICAL RACE
Contest Comedy OF ErrOrs--Ohiciais
Declare Race 0ff-Will BE Rowed
Again Monday.

London, March 20.-After Oxford
won the annual boat race with Cam
bridge today the race was declared
no contest by the officials because
Cambridge was swamped enroute
whil4 the Oxford crew stopped in the
middle of the course to empty the
water out Of their shell.
The race throughout was L comedy
of errors and the Cambridge officials
protested that, as Oxford had failed
to complete the distance in the boat
after getting the starting signal, al
though the entire four and one-quar-
ter miles was covered, they could not
fairly claim q victory. The officials
took that view and promptly declared
the race off. Many of the Oxford ad-
herc.i. dissented and insisted that the
Oxford crew acted wisely in stopping
enroute to empty their boat which
would otherwise have been Swamped.

HillsviIlc, Va, March "O.-A star
walton campaign against the two lone

today. The defiant message from Sic

vile jail-tnat they will never surren'
der-togethcr with the half starved
condiIion of the outlaw STRIPPING, de-
cided the josse leaders that loss OF

were adopted.
While the man hunters will not alb
undon their plan Of gradually de-
creasing their circumference OF the ell
Gle of pickets within which Sidna Al
len and Wesley Edwards are believed
to be hiding, the pusse will take its
time. Fricl and Claude Allen, the two
outlaws just captured, say their kin
arc suffering for food. 4 few days
more OF lodging through the noun
rains, the detectives think, may crush
the Allen spirit.

VOTERS TAKE NOTICE.

am very anxious for the voters OF
Alexandria to understand thorough
~ that | am seeking their support
for the Office Of Mayor, with the prom
ise to do all in my power for better
streets, better schools and more
modern city conditions, believing that
our progress in the future should ne
far ahead Of such progress as we
have made in the past.
There seems to be desire on the
part of some, to inject issues into the
campaign which do not properly be-
long there, and although this Is very
unfortunate, yet, it will Of necessity
be met and fought out when the prop
or time comes, if the actual issues
continue to be confused with mag
mary ones. for purely political pur'
poses.
strongly urge the voters to real
izo that the actual issues are OF the
greatest Importance, as there are
great number Of cities, several o'
which are right in Virginia, who nave
grown and prospered by their o~I
efforts. and have not become oaiik
rupt in doing 50, but instead, nave III
creased their cty's wealth, their peo
pies wealth and their peoples earn
ing power past anything AieSanor''
has known in recent years.
We have the natural advantages
and stand for developing them along
nrorressiye lines, believing that
majority of our people are tired 0
having their progress blocked by Cd
solete ideas when it can be obtained
! by progressiveness
This is not 4 political issue, but
;s q business issue that every ma,
who expects Alexandria to be his tu
ture home or the future home OF NJ
children must meet squarely an
| fight out.
