STADIUM IS
SOUGHT
HERE
Congress to Be Asked to Con-
struct Largest Arena
in World.

Athletic interests will be CEN
tered in Washington should the
plan to erect one Of the largest
stadiums in the world here carry
through.
Col. c. o. Sheriff., engineer in
charge Of public buildings and
parks, who has endorsed the
building in Potomac Park Of a
national stadium, stated today
that if the appropriation required
for its construction is made by
Congress it will not only result
in the National Capital becoming
the great athletic, center Of the
country, but in the establishing
Of a foundation from which rev.
enues available for park extern
sions and improvements will be
received.
Can Make Provisions.
Congress 1t was said. can. in max.
ing an appropriation. in corporate
the provision necessary for convert,
ing the stadium into foundation
feature from which such revenues
can be collected.
Inquiries from New York made
within the past week as to the status
OF the plan to erect q national
stadium here have resulted In bring
ing the project to public attention
again. 1t Is now understood that
an organized effort will be made to
secure from Congress an appropria-
ton covering its construction.
Cost Put at $1,000, 900.
In regard to the latter, Colonel
Sheriff. today said:
"A stadium constructed Of con.
crete and steel, with a seating ca.
pacity of from $4,000 to 10000 per-
sons. win cost approximately ST.
100000. II such a stadium, as Is
proposed, is built it will result IN
the holding Of many national ath-
letic events in Washington. There
is the Army and Navy football
game which logically belongs to the
Capital. Then there are the ma
tional tennis tournaments. Olympics
and other athletic features OF ma.
tional importance which would nat.
urally prefer a Washington setting.
THE Baltimore stadium at the
last football game took IN over
100000. In Baltimore the revenues
derived from the stadium go to
park improvements.
Memorial To Harding.
'1 think Congress in making an
appropriation for the stadium here
can do so insuring its becoming
a revenue producer, the revenues
going to meet park improvements.
The general park Improvement
plan includes the building Of a
stadium in Potomac Park. In con.
nection with the latter 1t was pro-
posed by New York interests that
it be made a memorial to the late
President Harding. whose love of
sports was we'll known.

ARRESTED
ON COMP LIANT
Of PRIEST
Disturbed Movie Performance,
Are Placed on Probation
for Misconduct.

Arrested on complaint of the
Rev. P. Depaola, pastor Of st. An
thongs church in Brookland. Ber-
nard Watts, eighteen, and Charles
Roddy, seventeen, were arraigned
in Police Court today. The former
was given a hearing before Judge
John p. Mcmahon on charge of
assault. His case was continued.
Watts appeared before Judge Gus
A. Schuldt, who placed him on
probation for disorderly conduct.
Father Depaola testified that the
parish hall Of the church was used
as place Of entertainment, in
which moving pictures were shown
each Friday night, and that the
conduct of the boys frequenting
the shows had become SO obnoxious
that he feared he would be COM
PEELED to discontinue the per-
formances..
Instead OF taking such drastic
steps, he said, he called a meeting
OF the male members Of the parish
and appointed a committee to main
tain order. At the first entertain
ment following the installation of
the committee, a small boy was
evicted. and Roddy is said to have
demonstrated with Martin F. Dut.
fecy. chairman. An argument fol,
lowed in which chicken fed was
thrown on the members, and Father
Depaola and Duffecy accompanied
Roddy across the street, according
to testimony, but were followed by
Watts, who struck Duffecy in the
face.
The clergyman asked the court to
be lenient with them, as he had had
the boys arrested only to impress
upon them that they could not con.
duct themselves in such a manner
on the church premises.
Both hovs are said to be communi.
cants Of the church.

Should the accused men be
exonerated by their superiors, the
police department and The prohibit

situation which confronted them be-
