GIVES father KIDDIES
Mrs. Abram Frey. Jr., Swoons When
Justice Gould Awards Custody of
Children to Her Husband.

The wife screamed and tainted, and
the three children walled because of
their mothers prostration in Justice
Gould's courtroom of the District Su-
preme Court yesterday afternoon when
the Justice decided that Abram Frey,
jr, should be given the custody of the
youngsters after the mandamus case
Of Mr.. Frey had been heard.
The case was one for possession OF
the children, brought by the father
against Matron Squires OF the Washing
ton City Orphan Asylum. The mother
placed them in the asylum when she
left their home at Colonial Beach and
returned to Washington, with the father
in Richmond, where he was working.
He came to the Capital but could not
see the children, he claimed. because
Matron Squires declined to allow the
visit
According to the statement of the
father, he had demonstrated with his
wife at Colonial Beach because a pas
tor there had called at their home fire.
C'Iently. even after the minister had
publicly reproved Mrs. Frey for nomin-
ating a candidate in a church election
at his solicitation. Later Frey had to
go away to secure work, and immedl-
ately after he left, he said, his wife
sold a goodly portion Of their household
furnishings and came back to the Dis
trict, where they had formerly lived.

WIDENING OF HIGHWAY
Commissioners Take Benning Road
Project Under Amusement Fol-
lowing Public Hearing.

Following hearing in the board room
of the District Building yesterday after
noon. the Commissioners took under con-
sideration the question of whether Ben
ming road should be widened to ITO feet or
l20 feet. Condemnation proceedings prob
ably will be resumed as soon as a decision
is reached. The proceedings were halted
In the District Supreme Court short
time ago, when a discrepancy in the
highway plan was discovered.
S. r. Bowen. representing the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company. urged
at yesterdays hearing that the road be
widened to 30 feet instead of no feet.
which, he said would make the moving of
the tracks of the company into the CEN
ter of the road unnecessary.
Nathaniel Wilson, owner OF property
along Benning road. and Evan H. Tucker
and DR.. l. d. Walter, both of the North
east Citizens Association. urged that the
road be widened as soon as possible,
whether to 40 or 40 feet.

&. v. j. STUDENTS
Will DON MITTS
Pugilistic Bout to Decide the
Championship Of Academic
Department Planned.
LARGE HALL Is SOUGHT
Faculty Members to Supervise Match
and Girl Students Apply for
Ringside Seats.

A five or ten round pugilistic bout to
decide the boxing championship of the
Arts and Sciences department OF George
Washington University will be staged
within a week or two.
Although arrangements for the contest
have not yet been completed, il Is likely
that a number of preliminary bouts will
precede the main fight. The principals
for the championship battle probably will
be selected by a process of elimination.
All students desiring to enter the com
petition will be expected to file their
names with the promoters by a certain
date. Bouts between all the entrants
then will be arranged. The winners of
these prelimInaries will be matched. and
finally the best two fighters OF the uni
versity will be placed in the ring.
Large Hall Is Needed.
It Is likely that the bouts will be stag
ed in the Young Mems Christian Asscia-
ton room in the basement of the Arts
and Sciences building. AS this room is
not very large, however, ii may become
necessary to seek a hall of greater size.
The Arts and Sciences department as
sembly hall. where chapel services are
held, has been mentioned as a most
desirable place, II permission from the
faculty can be obtained for its use.
1t is understood that the bouts will be
under unofficial faculty supervision. Mem
bers of the faculty will be invited to
occupy singside seats, and although no
decision has yet been rendered, 1t is
more than likely that the fair sex will
be admitted to the battles.
Fighting blood among students has
been boiling since the Moran-willard
bout press agents started work and more
particularly. since two students Iecently
fought five rounds under faculty super
vision to settle a personal wager.

HOUSE AGAIN VOTES
FOR LITERACY TEST
Representatives Votes Us to 81 for
Restriction in Considering Bur-
nett immigration Bill.

BY vote of 225 to 50 the House Of
Representatives again placed itself on
record yesterday as favoring the applica-
ton of the literacy test for immigrants
on a motion to strike out offered by
Representative SABBATH. of Illinois. An
other vote, which may result in even a
larger majority for the test, will be
taken before the bill is finally passed.
The immigration committee was bonn
barded with amendments to the Burnett
bill yesterday. Among them was one
intended to remove any restriction that
might be placed upon militant suffragists
or labor agitators who preach sabotage.
The amendment was defeated.
The possibility that the modified con-
tract labor provisions of the bill will
result in a dearth of opera singers In
the United States was advanced. but
the House refused to change the bill.

SLOW but sure. viii not endure,
Well done with speed, must still succeed

Well done with speed, must still succeed"
So runs a verse I saw the other day.
This is the age when a mans work
is measured by a speedometer. What
You DO doesn't seem to be of as
much interest as the RATE OF
SPEED at which you do it.
The average length of human life Is
shorter than 1t used to be, so it be-
hooves US to get the most out of every
minute.
A generation ago, a man plugged
along at terrapin speed, and denied
himself and. family most of the good
things Of life, until at last he could
boast Of small competence stuffed
away somewhere in an old sock. And
by the time he was through acquir-
ing It, his hair was white, his step
feeble, and the undertaken was Just
around the corner waiting for him.
Nowadays. most everybody seems to
have the mania to ''get rich quick. -
While only a lucky few succeed in
doing 1t. the general tendency is to
cultivate efficiency, and make hay
while the sun shines"
Take the short cut in all things
the long way round consumes too
much time.

STATE LEAGUE MAGNATES HERE
MORAN DEFENDS
BOXING CONTESTS
Tells New York Senators That
Ring Battles Are Healthful
Exercise; Wins Out
Special to the Telegraph

Albany, n. Y. April 14.-It was
Frank Moran. who recently filled an
engagement at Madison Square Gar
den with Jess Willard, who put the
only lively feature into an otherwise
hard working day of legislative routine
in the Senate yesterday. Mr.. Moran
came to the Capitol to talk about fights
and fighters with Senator Samuel A.
Jones. the Prohibitionist and foe of
pugilistic battles.
Senator Jones has introduced bills
aimed to abolish boxing exhibitions
through the repeal OF the boxing COM
mission law and also to prohibit the
moving pictures of prizefights to be
exhibited in this State.
Moran insisted that Senator Jones
and other legislators supporting the
propositions embodied in the bill had
an entirely wrong idea of pugilistic
enterprises in. this State; that instead
of their being corrupt and brutal, they
were honorably conducted. and in
Moran's owna language the greatest
and most practical exercise for
proper development of the human
race"
Moran adm itted that It was the first
t<TSe he had lover interested himself in
lie SIAiative ma tiers. He had a personal
tain with Senator Jones. The latter
said Nbe was surprised. why, the man
Is a \ perfect gentleman" remarked
Senat VI Jones.

him this year 1 o pass either one of his
