GUARD VACATES ARM0RY
SOME TINE NEXT JULY
Brig. Gen. Harvey Announces Long
Contemplated Vacation of Center
Market Quarters.

The long contemplated vacation OF
the Center market armory by those or
ganizations Of the National Guard OF
the District of Columbia which have
occupied the armory for the last f1f-
teen years Is to occur during the early
part of July. This is the information
contained in communication from
Brig Gen. Harvey. commanding the
D. c. N c., to z. o. Whitford. presi
dent of the Washington Market Com
pany. today.
While no definite arrangements have
been made for new armory quarters
for the organizations that have occu-
pied the Center market quarters. it is
understood they are to be quartered in
the building adjoining Convention Hall
and the Northern Liberty market. This
building was erected especially for the
District National Guard by the. late
Stilson Hutchins and was occupied by
the n. G. d. c. for several years. 1t is
understood the necessary changes can
be made in a very short time and at
small expense.
Present Lease Expires June 80.
The lease held by the National Guard
on the Center Market armory will ex-
pfre June 80 and new lease would
have been necessary had the guard
rema ined there.
Giving as reasons for asking an in
creased rental for the quarters, the
increased cost of heating and light
ing the armory and greatly increased
taxes on the property as a whole the
market company some time ago pro-
posed to lease to the National Guard
somewhat more than half Of the space
used heretofore at the same annual
rental as had been paid for the entire
armory quarters.
The annual rental, $4,000. 1t was
stated in the offer. was for approxi-
mately two-thirds of the present space.
Brig Gen. Harvey. feeling that the
National Guard of the District of Co
lumbia could not afford to renew its
lease on the armory in view of the
pending reorganization of the guard
and the elimination of one regiment.
and that it could not continue to pay
for considerably reduced quarters the
amount heretofore paid for the entire
armory, therefore notified the marker
company that the lease Is to be ter
minated and the armory vacated dur
ing the month of July.

police to suspect that he may be the
ripper" who killed two small chill
dren on the east side, New York, some
time ago. Two representatives of the
New York police department are par
ticipating III the investigation.
Blumlein is under observation in the
insane ward of the Philadelphia Cen
eral Hospital. Physicians are of the
opinion that he is suffering from hal
lucinations. He declares he is being
persecuted.' The man arrived in Phila-
delphia about two weeks ago with his
wife. who, since her coming here, has
mitting that her husband at times act
ed queerly. expressed confidence that
he was not guilty of any crime. He is
too fond of children to harm them"

mitted the murders.

corridor in front of police headquarters
in city hall for several hours. When
questioned. he said man in New York
wanted to cut out his liver and he de-
sired warrant for his arrest. This
man, he said, lived on Greenwich
street.
Blumlein drew penknife from his
pocket. 1t had a broken blade, and
was little rusty. The prisoner said
he found it in Fairmount Park here,
Blumlein told a rambling story, and
mentioned the ripper murders in New
York. His familiarity with the details
of those crimes caused the police to
Immediately notify the New York au-
thorities.
Inspector Joseph A. F'aurot of New

man.

what he might know about the so-call-

side this spring. According to the po-
lice Blumlein seemed to know enough
about the deaths of Charles Murray
and Leonore Cohn. child victims of the
murderer. to warrant careful exami-
nation of his antecedents and move

was said by the police to have asserted
that he lived in the Greenpoint Sec

the Murray boy was killed. In con-

Going is the play, and it is by But
Ter Davenpart. He calls it "a satire
on sacred sentiments" 1t carries its
own undertaken" is what more dis
interested critic has said of the much
)talked-of production.
For the play introduces funeral
scene, and shows that while thought
and money and ceremony are lavish
ed on the passing out of human life,
men take no thought at all before
hand to the coming of life!
Its tragic ending is bitter in
dictment of society for letting girls
enter matrimony with not the least
knowledge of what marriage means;
and for tolerating the bringing into
the world of new lives through ignor-
ance, lust and thoughtlessness.
Edna Archer Crawford plays the
