Sextet From Mines
Serenades The
. President

Probably the most unusual
delegation ever received at the
White House stood in the Exec
utive office yesterday and sere-
naded President Harding.
They were the Anthracite
Sextet," composed of six miners
from Scranton, Pa. Clad in blue
overalls and with their mine
lights glowing in their black
caps, the sextet sang several
of their original and unpublished
songs.
One of them was Memories"
and the President liked it so well
he called for an encore. At
the request of the miners, Presi-
dent Harding, after the concert,
posed in the center of the group
for a picture.
The men, who were recently
on strike, explained that their
union allows them travelling
expenses to give concerts at
union meetings when they are
not at work.

At a largely attended meeting OF
the town council last night in tho
Municipal building the Hyattsville
Public Library was formally turned
over to that body by the library
association, which founded the in
stitution. Charles w. Clagett, pres
ident of the association made the

Of the town.
The council canvassed the vota
cast in the recent special election
here, when Hyattsville people went
OH record overwhelmingly in favor
Of the purchase Of a modern fire
engine and equipment. Official
figures show the vote was more
than 4 to /.
Before a large gathering in
Zantzinger's Park here, Hyattsville
and RiVerdale divided honors in
double header, the first games in a
best.three-out-of-fiv series. Hyatts-
vile won the first game by forfeit.
as the result of a dispute over
decision. The locals were leading,
to 5. at the time.
Riverdale won the nightcap,
to 0. 1t was a pretty pitching duel
between Halloran, for Hyattsville.
and Chase, for Riverdale. Honors
were about even. but Hyattsville's
errors in the seventh. when River
dale scored twice, gave the visitors
the verdict.
The next games Of the series will
take place Sunday at Riverdale.
when another double-header is
slated.
The Rev. Charles Z. McAllister,
until recently rector of st. Mat.
thew's Protestant Episcopal parish

ton. has been visiting Miss Marga-
ret Naylor here.

his position and Albert Michael ap-
pointed in his stead.
OF the three prisoners who escaped
two have been caught. Joseph Dent.
colored, charged with robbing a store
near RTa nnVNina has mot Vaf haan
apprehended.
There is considerable criticism of
the present law requiring the Jail
guard TO be at the jail day and
night. Appointment OF one guard
for the day and one for the night,
or establishment of living rooms in
connection with the Jail and re-
quiring the guard to live in them,
have been recommended.

place the old brick walk. and many
