Dundee Took Chance
Of Becoming An

Johnny Dundee was outpointed
in a recent bout in Boston by Tony
Julian, a Brockton boxer, and it
afterward developed that it was a
benefit show and that Johnny did
not receive penny for his serv-
ices.

believed Villa would be the better
drawing card.
If Villa beats Wilde, which his
manager, Frank Churchill, says is
quite probable, then the anomalous
situation of Villa being world fly
weight champion, but not American
champion, would be created. This,
however, would be disposed of,
Churchill pointed out, in a match
later between Villa and Genaro.

Sabotage.

A charge Of sabotage was made by
the general manager Of one Of Amer
ica's big railroads against striking
shopmen Of the line in q public in.
quiry in the statehouse of Connecti-
cut. The witness said: Emery cum.
ningly concealed was found by chem
lists in the lubricating Oil and the sub
sequent friction ruined the journals
Of twenty locomotives" OF course.
this witness may be mistaken and it
might not have been a case of
sabotage by strikers. That is q mat.
ter for the proper authorities to pass
on, but an interesting point to Amer.
leans is that this device Of European
importation, called sabotage, has found
a place in the United States. One
hears a good deal about this stealthy
form Of crime and it adds another to
the dangers and perplexities that have
come upon our people. OF course, II
ought to be stamped out" but the
problem is certain to be q stiff one.
Conviction Of guilty man may often
prove difficult, but there should be no
let-up in legal efforts to "get" men
guilty Of sabotage. especially that
form Of sabotage which kills Or en-.
dangers life. 1t is a foul weapon in
industrial war, and men using this
weapon, when caught, should be dealt
with in a manner tending to deter
others from similar crime

The Beavers.

It 10 not believed that the beavers
that have made their burrows. dug
their subterranean chamber and built
their dam on Tearcoat run in Hamp-
shire county, w. Va, are fugitives
from our Zoo. The superintendent of
tho Zoo says that all the beavers that
have been entertained by his institu-
ton can be accounted for. Whether
these wise little engineers and archi-
tects are runaways from a zoo or
survivors Of the once numerous family
Of beavers, the people Of the District
will wish them good luck.
Tho American beaver fell into hard
lines because Of mems lust for his
pelt. Until the coming Of the news
from Winchester that beavers had
been found on Tearcoat run It was
believed. and is 50 set forth in the
Encyclopedia Americana, that wild
beavers are not to be found south Of
the rivers that now INTO Hudson bay,

Beavers were once numerous in this
region, and the name "Beaverdan"
was given to and is still borne by q
number Of streams near Washington.
One of these empties into the Eastern
branch. "Beaverdams'' were not the
only streams on which colonies Of
beavers lived. They were found on
every stream which suited their pur-
pose. That stream must pass through
woods where the beavers would be
close to their supply Of food bark.
The stream must have q bank in
which the beaver could cut his bur-
row and tunnel to higher ground,
where he would excavate his living
chamber. He also needed timber and
stones for building a dam across the
stream to keep the water above the
entrance to his burrow and also main.

not block his burrow. The flneness
Of his fur made him q prize for Indian
and white hunters and trappers. and

Mems beavers or beaver hats
the forerunners Of the "silk' hat
,, were made Of beaver skin, and some
very old-fashioned men today speak
of silk or plug" hat as a beaver"
When all women took to wearing fur
the animal passed except in a few
places where the protection Of the
law was thrown about him. Those
beavers reported in the West Virginia
stream are under protection of the
fish and game commission, and it is
hoped that they will enjoy long life
and prosperity.

has contributed more than this to
remove the pronounced popular preju-

the construction of railroads in China

network of railroads which is grad

The National Capital division Of the

traffic officers for the District Of Colum-
bia is an essential to the adequate en-
forcement of the traffic laws" 1t is
true. 1t is also a truth that every
body recognizes and admits. 1t is also
a truth that has been uttered several
times before. Everybody is agreed
that the capital needs more police in
general, and more traffic police in par
ticular. The main thing is to get
them. The motorists association, all
the motorists associations, will lend

Congress should lend a hand, but
Congress is not always a ready and
