Giants Unfurl 1917
Pennant With Eclat

The Giants unfurled their 1917 pen
nant at the Polo Grounds yesterday
afternoon Just before they admins
tered drubbing to the Chicago Cubs.
The usual ceremonies were carried out.
save for the fact that they were con.
Quoted in better fashion than on
former occasions.
The efficiency displayed in the flag
raising and the marching Of the two
teams afterward were primarily due to
the fact that Captain Fitzgerald was
in command. This man, who in his
younger days distinguished himself by
his heroism in saving lives as a FIRE
fighter, knew just how to handle the
squad Of ball tossers. Ground Keeper
Henry, Fabian and John B. Foster were
conspicuously present.

EDUCATION" CRUSADE
PLANNED BY PACKERS
Punching Paragraphs Part of Nil
ion-DolIar Campaign.

Chicago, March L-An educational
publicity campaign involving the ex-
penditure Of millions to Offset any Ill
effects from the passage OF the Bor-
land investigation resolution in Con-
sress, was planned by the five largest
packers in 1916, according to Francis
J. Heney, special attorney for the
Federal Trade Commission. Mr.. Heney
said this campaign which provided
for the establishment OF writer's of
'Punchy Paragraphs" on behalf of
the packers. fell through because the
members Of the big ive' could not
agree on a proportion OF expenses.
Details of the propaganda plan were
revealed today when additional cor
respondence was read before examin-
er Basil n. Manly, of the commission,
by Mr.. Heney.
The latter declared another "educa-
tional'' crusade was at present in force
to discredit the investigation of the
Federal Trade Commission. He said
swift and Company last month con-
tempIated the expenditure of between
10000 and 100000 IN publicity to re-
ply to disclosures brought out before
the government body.
He said that country newspapers
are being flooded with "camoufiaged''
news making II appear the packers
are subjects Of a vituperated and un-
warranted attack.

Il can't understand this policy

TWO NEGRO BOYS
HELD FOR ROBBERY

Discovery of a revolver in the
possession of Stanley r. Smith, ar
rested Thursday night on a charge
Of shooting another negro, last
night led to the arrest Of two IS
year-old negro boys, Roland Fields
and William Williams, on a charge
of stealing more than $3.50 worth
of firearms and ammunition from
the store of W. B. Roberts, 1411
New York avenue, on February 26.
The gun taken from Smith an
swered to the description of one
that had been stolen from the
Roberts store. Smith told Detec-
tives Barbee and Cornwell, and
Precinct Detective Livingstone that
he had purchased it from the two
negroes. Search was started by the
detectives and the missing proper
ty was found in the cellar of Fields
home, 641 N street northwest.
The two boys gained entrance to the
sporting goods store, 1t Is said, by
breaking the rear windows. A travel
ing bag. which, according to detec-
tives, the boys had previously stolen,
was used to carry away the loot.
The stolen articles consisted of ten
guns and revolvers, three watches,
three kodal<s. three hunting knives,
pair Of skates and several boxes
of cartridges and ammunition.
, Williams lives at 1s L street
northHsst.
