drmed by Court.

gage in business in Washington. Jus
tfce Stafford of the District Supreme

den's farm products division Of New

and wagons used in the local trade.
After William l. Browning, receiver
Of the White Cross company, had ac-
cepted the Borden bid and had sub
mitted It to the court an offer Of $685.
500 was made by w. A. Simpson, a
local dealer.
Arguments were heard on the propo-
sition as to which bid should be ac-
cepted. and Justice Stafford ruled that
the receiver should sell to the first
bidder. because 1t was shown that all
local dealers had been solicited to buy
the business. but no one had offered
until the Borden bid had been sub
mitted to the court.
Attorney Walter Engels of New York,
representing the Borden concern, stated
that the business will be conducted at
the same standard as the companys

where. The Borden people recently. he

As to Board of Charities.

Mr. Finch replies to the statement
that~the board of charities cannot re-
verse itself. and says:
We disagree with you that the site
is - good one for municipal hospital
purposes for the following reasons: II
is located far from the sections of the
CITY, which supply the largest number
of inmates to the hospital. 1t will re-
qufre the transportation of most of
them over practically the entire length
of the city.
ut will be impossible without hard
ship to the poor to run in connection
with it the proposed dispensary, for 1t
will-be impossible for them to reach 1t
except by paying car fare
TT Is not large enough to accommo-
date, with the proper parking places
and recreation facilities. the large num-
bef Of buildings which the complete
plans for the municipal hospital estab-
lishment contemplate.
1T IL true that one hospital building
waz erected on this site several years
ago. but at that time Congress express
1y provided that the present building
SHOULD be situated and constructed on
said site without reference to existing
or proposed plans for any other hos
pital on said site"
In, closing, Mr.. Finch declares that
the offer of the citizens fighting the To-
cation of the hospital at 14th and Up
shuf streets northwest made last sum-
mers-to work with the Commissioners
and the board of charities to secure the

GA. FINCH REPLIES
uDR. VAN SCHA|CK.
Gives Reasons for Opposing
Proposed Location of Mu-
nicipaI Hospital.
MOTIVES ARE NOT SELFISH

Declaring that the only motive for
the opposition to the establishment of
the proposed municipal hospital at
18th. and Upshur streets northwest by
the Piney Branch Citizens Association,
as we'll as a number of other similar
bodies, is the desire to protect the
homes Of the citizens of that section
from the invasion Of an institution
which cares for many undesirable ele-
ments of the city's population. George
A. Finch. president of the Piney
Branch Citizens Association. in a reply
to an open letter by Rev. DR.. John
Van Schaick published Wednesday, de-
niss.. that the opposition is Ignorant
and selfish. and largely manufactured
by4people who have their ends to
serve"
Mr.. Finch says that the Piney Branch
Citizens Association, at it's meeting
Monday night. did not confuse the
board of charities and the Associated
Charities when the suggestion was
made that the members of the associa-
tion withhold contributions from the
latter body.
This action was made, he states. for
the reason that a salaried officer Of the
Associated Charities has been devoting
a large amount of his time and energy
the legislation which will result in
placing the hospital at 14th and Upshur
streets, and the members took under
consideration the advisability of with
holding their contributions so that the
money contributed by them may not
be used to pay the salary Of person
whom they believe to be working
against their best interests"
Denies Opposition Is Ignorant"
This did not mean. says Mr.. Finch,
that members of the association intend
to Cease contributing to charitable pur-
poses, but that other channels will be
used in doing so.
In regard to DR.. Van Shaicks state
ment that the opposition to the hos
pital being placed at 14th and Upshur
streets is ignorant" Mr. Finch states
that the Piney Branch Citizens Asso-
ciation prefers to accept the decision Of
the Senate rather than your (Dr. Van
Schaick's) estimate upon the intelli-
ton" Mr.. Finch refers DR.. Van
Scha1ck to the action Of the Senate on
August /, when it declared that ''the
location of said hospital upon the 14th
and. Upshur streets site is hereby for
bidden"
Mr. Finch also states that the Piney
Branch Citizens Association is not
alone in the fight against the proposed
location of the hospital. but that the
PetWorth Citizens Association, Column
bia Heights Citizens Association, Park
View Citizens Association, Brightwood
Citizens Association, Brightwood Park
Cit4EAns' Association, Takoma Park
Citizens Association and Woodburn
and. Chillum Castle Heights Citizens
Association take the same stand. This
stand. he adds is indorsed by the Fed

Commerce

Tall Westerner's Stock Takes Tumble in Eyes Of

Has Done Nothing
By ROBERT w. MAXWELL

II a trihe too far when he picked on MUIR
ply. Harlem Tommy was a good battisr
about five years ago, but since that time
he has been out of the game. Tine last tiTne
he boxed he fell out of the ring and broke
his arm and the injury ruined his career
To have put on this Welsh-Murphy COM
bat would have been as brutal as stacking
n schoolboy against Frank Gotch in
wrestling match. 1t was bad enough when
they brought back poor old Joe Cans when
he was In the last stages OF tuberculosis to
fight Battling Nelson, but this would have
been the limit. The promoters of the affair
were without shame and had poor idea Of
the intelligence of the public. The Dear Old
Public will stand for almost anything but
IL draws the line at murder.
Would Have Killed Boxing
Had the bout gone on II might have done
great, deal toward killing the boxing
game In New York. There Ia nothing more
disgusting than one-sided boxing match
OF a purely commercial kind. Tho Boxing
Commission knew this and when Chairman
Fred Wenck stepped in and called every
thing off he showed that he was on the Job
and doing his best to keep the game on the
level.
According TO a news dispatch. gang Of
South Americans became so incensed when
a football player missed an easy try for
goal in game at Montevideo, Uruguay,
that they rushed out on the field. stopped
the game and then set fire to the grand
stands. We need have no fear of a similar
occurrence here, as the Yale bowl and the
stands at Shibe Park are fireproof.

ARTHUR DUFFEY, one of the worlds
n greatest sprinters, has followed the
athletes of today very closely and analyses
and compares the work Of the presentday
stars with the winners 20 years ago.
"Are the college athletes today raster

Duffey "This question is being hashed ana
Tehashed all along the line in the amateur
athletic game Ever since Ted Meredith
Bob Simpson. Arlle Mucks and few more
of the leading modern stars have put up
such sensational performances, the query
will not down. But in looking through the
feats of the college athletes OF today as
compared with those of 20 years ago, II Is
very easy matter to decide. In raet' there 10
hardly any chance for comparison.
Back 20 years ago in the intercol-
legiates of 1896 II was thought at that
time that the collegian athletes were about
the fastest performers that ever happened
Il was believed that the limit OF human
speed and endurance had about been
reached, but since that year, one by one
have the records In the different events
been broken while It was up to this year TO
produce the most remarkable performers

ming under the colors of Georgetown, was
the king bee among the short distance men.
He occupied the same position among the

Wefers was the most consistent performer
over the 100 and furlong distances that we
ever had. Every time that he started In
