FOR PERIOD OF WAR
State Council OF Defense VIII Enforce
United States Orders For Con-
seryation OF Resources

Dwelling house and other construc-
ton is going TO stop in Annapolis, as
well as elsewhere throughout the
State. for the period of the war un-
less the necessity OF all jobs costing
over $4,000 are first passed upon.
Chairman Francis E. Waters. of the
State Council of Defense, yesterday
announced that he had chosen Will
lam L. Marbury to head the new COM
mittee for Maryland which will pass
upon all building projects involving
an outlay of more than $4,000. Mr..
Marbury has accepted the place. The
other members of the committee will
be named shortly, and also the county
representatives. 1t is hoped to have
headquarters established this week.
This committee will have probably
the most important work under the
State Council. The War Industries
Board, at Washington. has undertaken
to put an end to unessential construc-
ton throughout the country, in order
to conserve labor, materials and CAPT
tai for war purposes, and ii has desig-
mated the State Council of Defense in
each State as its agency, the State
body to work through a small COM
mittee The findings of these small
committees will become the law, vir-
tually, as to what building shall be
done and what shall not be.

Workman Who Ignored Sentry's
Challenge Yesterday

When he persisted in his efforts to
pass a military guard at the Ordnance
Depot at Curtis Bay, in upper Anne
Arundel county early yesterday morn
ing. after being ordered four times TO
halt. Richard DeCourcey. as years old,
of Boston and Gloucester, Mass, en-
ployed at the depot, was shot and in
stantly killed.
The sentinel's bullet passed through
his cheek and entered the brain. BY
killing DeCourcey, the guard followed
strict military orders, which provide
that after three challenges, the in
truder is to be shot The guard in
this case gave an extra challenge, but
DeCourcey, who is thought TO have
been drinking, ignored it, and tried

THIRD GASLESS SUNDAY
Gasoline Speed Boat Makes Things
Hum And Alarms The
Natives

Fuel Administrator Walter A. Hart,
announces today that there was per-
ceptible lessening of the number of
automobiles running yesterday, the
third "Gasless" Sunday. Those that
were seen for the most part displayed
the cards giving them permission to
run of necessity Mr.. Hart said today
there seems to be a marked willing
ness on the part of the citizens to CO.
operate with the Administration in
saving gasoline He said further
more. he has had not intimation what
ever, that the Government intends to
call on the gasless Sundays, but that
indications point to their more general
observance, nationwide. One half mill
lion of our troops and those of the Al
lies are dependent upon gasoline and
1t is necessary for us to save it for
them.
A powerful speed boat, run by gaso-
line power. was an annoyance to
residents of Spa. creek and vicinity all
day yesterday The boat flew through
the water as an aeroplane does in the
air. 1t was apparently trying out"
its engine, and went across from Spa
creek to the Naval Experiment sta
ton some twenty times or more. An
investigation is being made today.

Charles Pores Is Second;
Kolehmainen, Former
Winner, Third
By A. c. Cavagnaro

Villar Kyronen, the fleet little Finn
easily won the eighth annual Bronx to
City Hall modified Marathon run yes
terday. Kyronen ran in his best form,
killing off many rivals by his early pace
and crossing the line with much speed
in reserve in the fast time of 1:10:2o.
Incidentally, the margin of victory
Of 100 yards held by Kyronen at the
finish is the biggest advantage ever
gained by a winner of this event
Kyronen was always forward con-
tender, and it was his timely jump in
the final half mile that carried him
home a winner.
Finishing gamely in second place
came Charles Pores, American five-mile
champion and former Millrose run
ner, but now attached to the Pelham
Bay naval training station. Consider
ing that Pores has been unable to pro-
cure the necessary training for the en-
durance test, his effort is most COM
mendable
Another athlete who has suffered
from lack Of competition to aid Uncle
Sam in his war work is Hannes Koleh-
mainen. now of the Meadowbrook Club,
of Philadelphia, four times winner of
the fixture. "Koly" is employed in the
shipbuilding trade at Hog Island and
his appearances in races lately have
been few. Kolehmainen showed his
usual speed for the first eight miles
when he began to weaken, and was
never able thereafter to overtake the
leaders. He finished third, 1 minute
and 39 seconds behind Kyronen.
Runners Scattered Far
The remainder Of the runners fin
ished far part, thus indicating that the
pace was an exceptionally fast one
During the early stages of the race
Kyroncn, Pores, Kolehmainen, Louis
Kaufman, Brooklyn A. A.; A. Vaughn,
Pittsburgh A. A. and Terry Halpin,
Morningside A. c., were up in front
fighting for the lead. The lead alter
mated frequently as the forward pack
pulled away from the other runners.
At the fourth mile point Kaufman
began to tire and dropped back, as did
also Vaughn and Halpin. This left
Kolehmainen, Kyronen and Pores to
fight out the issue. "Koly" followe d
Pores's pace with apparently little
trouble, but shortly after the eighth
mile began to show the effects of the
gruelling race. Kyronen and Pores sped
on in duel. Coming east in Crane

Penn Oars WinChiLdS Cup
And Freshman Contests

that Rice's crew had an outside chance
to finish second
Passing the mile the Princeton
crew, which had been rowing with fair
unison, seemed to tire, and Columbia,
with Brown pulling a wonderful stroke,
crept up closer.
Now the Blue and White she'll was at
Princeton's middle, and one-half mile
from the finish they were almost bow
to bow, with Princeton still holding
the advantage.
Columbia Never Weakens
Columbia never weakened in it's
puissant drive. Advancing it's stroke to
thirty-two and shooting tremendous leg
and arm power into it's sweep, the Blue
and White caught the furthermost tin
of the Princeton bow, passed it and in
creased its lead to what looked like a
clean one-eighth length at the finish.
The stalwart sons of William Penn
sat in the victorious boat and cheere
both Princeton and Columbia as they
finished 1t had been no more than an
interesting trial race for the Philadel-
phians.
There was nothing that could be fur
ther said about the freshman race, as
the Penn youngsters, sweeping down
the lake with their noisy tholepins,
won almost as easily as their upper
classmen.

Chevrolet Cautious About
Entering Hardness Race


The first to enter the Hardness Han
dicap at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway
on May 30 probably will be Louis Chev-
rolet, who holds the 10O-mile record for
the course and won the Hardness Cup
race last year
Promoter William H. Wellman has
been negotiating with the Frenchman
Tor several days and has been promised
an answer tomorrow. Chevrolet prob
ably Will be set at scratch in the event,
and it is this condition that causes him
to deliberate. However, with the
fastest car in the world at 100 miles,
and on account of its light weight,
Chevrolet probably would be the favor
lite even at scratch.
In his race last year, when he broke
the record, he was able to let up after
the tiftieth mile, as De Palma was
forced out on account of tire trouble,
and the wise ones believe that he can
average even better than the present
mark for the distance.
