Coolidge Vetoes Bill To Increase Postal Salaries
EORCER OF BAD
CHECKS HERE IS
Sent TO PRISON
Old Offender Who Broke
Parole Gets One to
Ia Years

Margos Kizirian, 43 Armenian,
who placed ON probation in Novem-
Der 1929 for period of -four years
following his confession to a charge
of issuing bad checks, was sentenc-
ed Yesterday afternoon by Judge
Cole on new bad check charges to
serve from one to IA years at San
Quentin.
In denying the petition for an
ether chance, Judge Cole stated
that he could not grant probation
to man who was as active in the
passing of worthless checks as XII
zirian has been. The influence on
others should the court show andue
lcniency in this case, the Judge
said, would be bad.
The fact that Kizirian had is
sued several worthless checks, pass
ing them with considerable skill,
showed that he is not as simple
minded as those who have been
helping him have believed, Judge
Cole declared.
In handing down the pcnitentiary
sentence, Judge Cole said to the
prisoner; "You were given an op-
portunity to serve your term out,
side of the penitentiary, in order
to care for yourself and child, but
you have violated several rules of
probation, apparently paying little
attention to the requirements atten-
dant upon your freedom from Jail
"Since you have forged and is
sued checks without sufficient
funds to cover them, and since you
| have frequently gone out of the
county without first securing per
mission, there is nothing to 10 but
send you to states prison at San
Quentin. The length of time you
spend there is to be decided later
by the board of prison directors,
and will in large part be determin-
ed by your own acts while there.
Is Little Concerned
Kizirian, Il tai, thin-faced man,
is scarcely able to talk English,
apparently, yet offices say he
showed considerable. astuteness in
issuing the checks. He showed lit
tie concern over his plight. When
Judge Cole asked him several ques-
tions as to his past life, he had
difficulty in giving accurate an
swers. When he was taken back
to the county Jail to await the time
when he is to be taken to San Quen
tin, he told the iailors that he didn t
know what the court had decided
to do with himA
The Armenian was arrested in
October 1922 for issuing checks
without funds amounting to $4OO.
He was placed on probation 50 that
he could take care of himself and
child, and according to testimony
related by Probation Officer Swan
son, he worked steadily ut first, but
later cvinced signs of restlessness
and quit several jobs, and was seen
at Mexicali on different occasions.
He was arrested last month after
he had passed u worthless check on
W. A. Marshall, and another on the
Gantz Grocery ut Brawley.

Competition Is Too Strong.
Georgetown did well in the sprint
relay. 1t ran well in the mile cham
pionship race. George Washington
covered one of its best miles. Mary
j., land probably ran faster in the class
B one-mile championship than any
other Maryland team has ever run
Tech High, the only Washington high
school in competition, also did well.
But while the teams from Washington
performed creditably they did not do
aS we'll as the teams against which
they competed. In short the men
were up against the real STUFF and
their meritorious. performances were
;. surpassed by even more meritorious
performances.
But while Washington athletes
accomplished little which will go

school in which Washington people
are interested and which many of
them regard as their own. deserves
all the paens of praise which went
