can be but a losing venture. Bring
ing the situation closer to home, 1t
must be admitted that track ath-
letics in the District OF Columbia are
about in the same condition. George
town usually does well with its an
nuaI indoor meet, but that is the ex-
ception proving the rule. The South
Atlantic A. A. u. carefully refrains
from taking chances by staging a
meet of any kind. Track sport pro-
yides excellent action pictures for
the sport pages and headaches for
the promoters.
The latest list of athletic heroes
decorated for bravery at the front
does not include Les Darcy. Neither
does the casualty list.
The latest baseball contracts bar
the players from engaging in any
branch of athletic endeavor, such as
football, basketball, baseball or even
tiddledewinks, outside OF the regular
diamond season. Ban Johnson and
John Tener are 'insistent that play
ers, especially major leaguers, will
engage in no transforming trips fol-
lowing the regular seasons, or en-
danger their lives In football or bas-
ketball games. While players may
complain, nevertheless, they are well
paid for their summer activities and
they should remember that their
clubs have the greatest interest In
their continuing in good condition
for succeeding seasons.

LUNCHEON AT
 MIDNIGHT ON
 BOATS IS OFF

Complying with Food Administra- tor Hoover's appeal to the nation to conserve as much food as possible during the period of the war, the Alaska Steamship company has de cided to discontinue the custom of serving what is called the midnight luncheon
 Notice of this new departure of the Alaska Steamship company was re- ccived on the Alameda this morning. All companies are conforming to the request of Mir. Hoover and the gen eraI public will accept the discontin, uance of the hmcheons as patriotic. To one who has travelled on the steamers, much of the midnight luncheons are wasted and the food that can be conserved by doing away with them is more than the average person is aware of. The discontin- uance of the luncheons will discom- mode no one and will be periodically oh~erved.

Cablegram Received from Division Manager at Seattle Unfolds the Plan for Giving Cheer
 tO Soldiers and Sailors

The American Red Cross is pro- viding for a Christmas present for every soldier and sailor abroad and at home and the local chapter receiv- ed a cablegram last night from c. D. Stimson, in charge of the Red Cross division at Seattle, concerning the movement. The cablegram, which Is as follows, explains itself:
 Can your chapter provide its allot- ment of one hundred packets? These must be in the Division warehouse by December 10th. If you can send us a contribution of $1 per packet, with list of contributors, we can have splendid packets prepared for you and send them to our men with card en- closed bearing the name of the con- tnbutor and chapter. These presents mean much 60 our men and we shall welcome your assistance"
 Miss Wold, secretary of the local chapter received the cablegram last night and made it's contents known at the bazaar held by the ladies of the Methodist church. Several contribu- tors readily responded
 Now this is what the cablegram mcans-if you have one dollar or more you can leave it at the office of the Gateway with your name, being a contributor to the Christmas pack ct campaign for soldiers and sailors. The Gateway will receive all contri- buttons and the money will be turned over to the Red Cross officers here This campaign will end on Decembcl first and the money will be wired to Seattle, as per the above cabiegram. The packets will be made up at Seat tie as the time is too short for pack cts to be made up here. The contri- buttons are therefore solicited. Any two persons can make up a $1 con- tribution, they to decide which name shall appear as the giver.
 The campaign will be a short one and hustle" must be the keynote

On Thursday, March IA. 1912. in the
little mountain village of Hillsville,
Va, the county court house was at
tackled by mountain wild pack"
who fired into the crowded courtroom.
killed judge, county prosecutor. sheriff
and jury and severely wounded girl
witness and second juror.
The mountain wolves" who per-
petrated the outrage were moon
sinners" named Allen, who quickly
became known throughout the land as
the ALLEN gang"
One of the Aliens had been arrested
in a civil suit and Judge Massie, armed
with nothing but his faith in the right,
went to Hillsville to try the case.
The case was almost completed,
Floyd Allen, the defendant, was seat
ed in the middle of the room between
his two attorneys. Sidna Allen sud
denly appeared against the left wall
in line with the Judges bench Claude
Swanson Allen. Floyd's second son,
lolled against the bars back railing
facing Massie. Goad. the court clerk,
and Sheriff Lew Webb stood near the
Judge.
The jury filed and announced the
defendant guilty" Every eye in the
room sought Floyd Aliens fast dark
ening face. Massie corrected the fore
mans opinion, to Guilty as charged
and ordered the Sheriff to take the
prisoner into custody. Floyd Allen
started to reach for his gun, shouting,
81 won't 60 to jail" The sheriff quick.
ly covered him. Judge Massie leaned
forward. Sid Allen opened fire from
the back of the room and the aud
fence stampeded for the door like cat
tie going into chute.
Massie sunk down over his bench,
Floyd Allen opened up with a fusil-
lade from another corner, and County
Prosecutor Will Foster and one Of the
court attendant crumpled up like rage.
Goad, the court clerk, and Sheriff
Webb were pumping out lead at the
Aliens as fast as they could. The
Aliens, continually firing, made for the
street. A boy deputy sheriff was the
only court attendant left alive. He
was making things interesting with a
Winchester Outside the Aliens were
firing at every one in sight. Armed
and unarmed fell under their fire.
Then they took to the hills
The cowardly crime stirred state and
nation to instant activity. Deputy
sheriffs and United States marshals,
with hordes of heavily-armed detect
ives. camped on the Aliens trail
Over rough mountain paths, through
black nights and early dawns rode the
avenging forces.
The majority of the band was finally
captured and brought to trial.
Floyd and Claude Allen were con-
ddemned to death and executed on
March %. 1913.
Sidna Allen was sentenced to thirty
five years in prison; Wesley Edwards.
a cousin, twenty-seven years in prison;
Edna Edwards. fifteen years in prison
On March 10, 1916, the last Of the
gang, Jack" Allen, was killed In a
gun fight In North Carolina by Will
McGraw, blockader.
