MAY
: DEBATE WOOD.
Senator's Friends Welcome
Suggestion for Joint Baltl-
more Appearance.

A Joint debate between Senator HI
ram Johnson and Gen. Leonard WOOL
in Baltimore, toward the finish or the
primary campaign in which they are
now nghting for the Endorsement OF
Maryland Republicans, is now consiu-
cred likely, according 10 dispAleh
from J. Fred Essary in todAys bai''-
more Sun.
This fact developed when the suk-
gestion that the senator meet the
General In q joint discussion was con,
sidered by the Senator's friends aho
managers In Washington, and theh
transmitted by telegraph to Mr. Johh-
son for further consideration.
In Baitimsre Monday.
II the joint debate 10 staged. now
ever, II will not be during sehat9,
Johnson's first visit to Maryland ne
IS due to reach tho State next MONDAY
He probably will speak in Baltimore
Monday night. and at Hagerstown or
Cumberland on Tuesday. These Two
speeches are to be the Candidates
own. He will not divide his Limited
time then with anybody, but VIII use
It for all II 10 worth In getting ms
appeal before the Republican voters
of the State.
But II was proposed by the Sens
tors managers this afternoon that ne
will find an opportunity Just before
the close OF the Maryland night TO re-
turn for q single speech in Baltimore,
at which time ne might meet Generai
Wood. II the Senator thinks well OF
this idea and can so arrange MS tin-
ierary. he will issue q challenge TO
General Wood to debate the issues
with him from the same platform In
Baltimore.
II NAV be three or four days before
the Senator makes a reply to the sug-
fEestjons. He Is going day and night
lin the fght for the Endorsement OF
New Jersey and Indiana and may not
be able to Ak upon a date for sec
ond visit to Baltimore until the cam
paign is a little further advanced.
WOODS Acceptance Doubted.
There can be no such joint discus
sion between these two virile candi-
dates, of course, without .General
Wood accepts the invitation which
may be rendered him. 1t Is doubted
by some Republican politicians mere
whether he would be inclined To meet
Senator johnson face to race. he is
not as practiced a debater as the Call
lfornian He Is not as resourceful IN
many respects, but the decision wiii'
be one for him to make after the chal-
lcnge has been received.
Those Republican politicians In
washington who have given thought
to the Joint debate idea are enthusias-
tic over it. This is particularly true
of a number Of Senator Johnsons
friends. They say the Senator per-
.sonally might enjoy a oratorical duei
with Herbert Hoover more than one

new HEAD OF D. c. POLICE
GIVEN WARM GREETING.
Major Gessford Finds Office Filled
With Flowers, and Friends
Extend Congratulations.

Major Harry l.. Gessford newly
appointed superintendent of police to-
day spent his first day in office as
police chief receiving scores of WIS.,
itors who came to extend their con-
gratuations.
From the time he arrived at his
office, shortly before o'clock this
morning and continuing throughout
the day, scores of persons prominent
in business affairs in the District
called to offer their congratulations.
The desk of the newly appointed
police official was banked high with
flowers. Hundreds of letters were
received by the police chief from DO
lice officials in many sections OF the
country
Major Gessford today is also cele-
bratinG his thirty-third wedding an
niversary.
The appointment OF Major Gessford
leaves the vacancy OF an inspector,
the filling OF which will leave other
vacancies lower in the department.
The selection of an Inspector will
probably be made within tho next
few days.
Major Gcssford has intimatcd that
there will be important changes in
the department in the near future.
While few changes are expected,
II Ia believed that there will be no
drastic change in policy.
Since Major Pullman's death when
he became acting superintendent.
Major Gessford has been in close
touch with the department and he
fully understands what the late super.
intendcnt Of police desired in tho mat
ter OF administration and such policy
Vt Ia said, will be followed for a time

CORNERS IN FOODS
MAY Be PROHIBITED
Congressman Baer Has Bill to
Punish Gambling in Necessi-
ties of Life.

Gambling in the necessities OF life:
corners in wheat. corn or other food
articles: Withholding OF food products
from the market to boost prices. and
similar attempts to wiring money from
the people are. prohibited and made
punishable by heavy fnes In bill In
troduced in the House today by Con-
gresham Baer. OF North Dakota.
The bill was referred to the House
ing a bill to restrict the powers and
activities of the meat packers
There are bills also before the COM
mittee to regulate operations by
produce and trade boards similar In
their purpose to that sought to be
accomplished by Baer.
At am reliably informed that IL my
bill becomes a law" said Baer, 1T
will be welcomed by legitimate busi-
ness interests. 1t would eliminate
speculators who have no legitimate
existence. The pinch OF want Is even
nov felt by millions of our people
who go to bed every night without
sufficient food; not because OF the
scarcity Of things to support life In
comfort, but because Of extortionate
prices foisted on US many times by
gamblers.
"Recent disclosures Of a Federal
Grand Jury have shown that these
gamblers have obtained the public's
credit and used It for private gain In
their schemes to plunder the con-
sumers Regulation is not a method.
Elimination Is the only practical
remedy. There was no room for these
gamblers in the wheat pits in time
OF war. There Is no room FOR them
now. To allow spectators who have
no legal title to goods to purchase
futures and fictitious stocks in times
Of rising economic levels, and then
manipulate the market in order to
make illegitimate profits. is vicious
crime. They are clogging the free
channels of trade, and cause an un-
necessary increase in the cost OF
living"

the community centers in the pub
lie schools was made by Miss
Cecil Norton, director OF the CEN
ters, before the Senate Investi-
eating subcommittee today.
She championed dances in the
schools. and stated they were
under adequate chaperonage, and
were helpful TO the community.
"All our dances are proper and
decorous," she said. II would
like to point a contrast between
them and the dancing that may
be seen In the fashionable hotels
Of Washington, j wouldn't like
to state the quality OF the latter"
Senator Walsh interJected
statement during Miss Norton's
testimony to the effect that the
committee did not believe II was
a function Of the Government or
of Board OF Erucation to give
guarantee OF the welfare OF the
school children at night at dances
or at any other places.
Miss Norton replied that the
community centers have the sup
port of thousands of parents be-
cause they afforded wholesome
recreation to young people.

BLOSSOM SEELEY
SUES FOR DIVORCE
Vaudeville Star Begins Action
In Chicago-Says Baseball
Pitcher Deserted Her.

CHICAGO, April 2o.-Richard w.
Marquard, one time 81, 900 beauty of
the New York Giants, and known to
baseball fans the country over as
"Rube" Marquard. star pitcher on
various teams, was sued for divorce
yesterday.
Blossom c. Marquard, his wife, a
vaudeville actress. whose stage name
is Blossom Seeley, represented by
Attorney Otto Baer, filed her bill in
the superior court, charging deser-
tion. They separated February S.
1918.
They were married in San Fran.
cisco March H., 1913. and had lived
together in New York and elsewhere
until the final break came. Since
the separation Mrs. Marquard has
claimed Chicago as her home.
"Rube," now member of the
Brooklyn team, claims New York city
as his home. The Marquards have
one child, Richard W., jr., five, now
in the custody of his mother, who
placed him in a Cleveland school.
Blossom makes the allegation that
"Rube" left her without just cause,
and all her attempts at a reconcilia-
tion have failed.
Blossom Secley was formerly mar
ried to Joseph Cohen, known on the
stage as Joseph Kane. When she was
divorced from Cohen in 1913, "Rube"
Marquard was named as corresponds mt
Subsequently Cohen sued Marquard
for $4,000 damages for alternating his
wife's affections.
For a time he had detectives fol-
lowing the couple about the country.
Cohen finally was awarded a judg-
mont for $4,000. 1t was reported that
"Rube" paid $4,000 OF the judgment
and gave his note for the balance.
