"You see that bear in that cage

I'D rather get into that cage

Some years later the writer met
Sam in front of the Secor Hotel

Mason, manager Of Harry Greb,
says that the greatest goat-get-

in Wheeling, w. V.
Oscar Gardner, the Omaha Kid,
was billed to fight there one
night and the gent he was to box
was an extremely nervous person
He was the local hero and liked
to get started just as soon as he
entered the ring.
Gardner heard of this, and made
his plans accordingly. At 8
o'clock, when both men were to
be in the ring, Oscar waited for
the local favorite to enter first,
When Gardner saw that his op-
ponent was in the corner and all
ready to go, he strolled down the
aisle with a burning stogy dan

took his seat in his corner, crossed

Gardner never recovered from it.
Fitzsimmons got on the scales
wearing tennis shoes, which COW

feet. From that moment Gerdner
was a beaten man. In the fight
that night, Fitz cracked his fist
in the fifth round. He bullied his
way along, however, and went

REPORTED
Internal Revenue Bureau Is
sues Statement for U. S.
Employees.

The two and one half per cent
deducted from salaries of Federal
employees, for the civil service
annuity fund, though held in re.
serve, is income to the employee and
must be reported on the income
tax reports. This statement was
issued by the Bureau of Internal
Revenue today as a result of many
inquiries from Federal employees as
to how this sum should be treated
in making out the tax report.
Annuities paid retired employees
Of the Federal Government under
the act of May %, 1920, are sub
ject to tax to the extent that the
aggregate exceeds the amount with
held from the compensation of the
employee. Anyone who leaves the
civil service before becoming eligible
to retirement and receives the
amount of salary withheld together
with interest, should report only
the amount of interest as income
for the year in which received.
Hundreds of taxpayers are taking
advantage of the service offered by
the Government in the preparation
Of returns. In addition to the
large force at the office of the
local deputy collector, 1922 Penn
sylvania avenue, revenue officers
for this purpose are stationed in the
Treasury Department, and in sew
eral Of the banks. The filing period
ends at midnight, March Is.

FOR PATENT
OFFICE
Civil Service Makes Appeal to
Colleges and Scientific
Organizations.

Facing one of the most difficult
tasks undertaken in connection with
recruiting workers for the Govern
ment the Civil Service Commission
today put into operation every
agency at its command in an effort
to obtain the services OF the addi-
tiOnal hundred patent examiners
required at the United States Pat
ent Office.
Universities, colleges, technical
and other training schools in all
sections Of the country have been
appealed to by the commission in
a drive to insure an enrolment of
applicants enough to fill the newly
created positions.
A similar appeal has been made
to scientific societies, and univer-
sity and college alumni associations.
Universities and colleges have been
asked to bring the coming examina-
tons for these positions to the at
tention of senior classes.
AS explained today a high type
Of men and women are required for
these positions.
Among other qualifications, they
must possess a working knowledge
Of French and German and have
some acquaintance with one branch
Of engineering at least.
The present demand on the COM
mission is said to be one Of the
few instances where SO large a
class of exceptionally qualified men
and women were required for so
many positions to be filled at the
same time.
The positions pay from 81, 500. to
$4,000 a year. the latter posts be-
ing reached through regular pro.
motions.
The first examination will be held
April 10. Other examinations will
be announced, If the required num-
Der of successful applicants are not
supplied by the first held.

ORDERS HABEAs CORPUS
WRITS IN BOND CASES

Justice Siddons Of the District
Supreme Court in a memorandum
opinion has stated with reference
to the ruling Of the Police Court
prohibiting the fixing Of a bond for
an accused person between the
hours Of II o'clock Saturday night
and O'Clock Monday morning, that
if person who believes himself
unlawfully restrained Of his liberty
by the action Of the Police Court
to fix bond, he can apply for a
writ OF habeas corpus.
The courts statement arose from
the application Of James williams,
arrested in the Fourth precinct 'by
the liquor squad. for a writ Of
mandamus to compel United States
Commissioner Macdonald to fix
bond, after that official had refused
to have anything to do with the
case. Justice Siddons also refused
the application for a mandamus.

To URGE
CHEVY CHASE
MORTGAGE
George F. Hoover Heads Party
Asking Legislature for
Authority.

Chevy Chase Citizens will journey
to Annapolis today to attend State
legislature hearings on a bill au-
thorizing the community to obtain
$25, 900 by increasing the mortgage
on municipal property, the money to
be used in discharging the common
debt and improving public buildings.
George p. Hoover, prominent law
yer, will be one of the principal
speakers in favor of the bill. 1t is
expected that Mrs. Jesse w. Nichol-
son, of 1913 Newlands street, will
try to defeat the measure, as her
opposition to the legislation has
been marked.
Misrepresentation Charged
Someone has been misrepresent-
ing this bill as q bond ISSUE" Mr..
Hoover said today, land the BELIEF
that it is a bond issue has misled
many Chevy Chase citizens who,
am sure, would be in favor of the
measure if informed correctly. We
don't want bond issue. We don't
want increased taxes. They are
certainly high enough now"
Only $4,000 is needed at present
to meet the needs of the COM
munity. Authorization to obtain
$4,000 was asked, however, in
order that there will be a clear
field ahead for a projected $4,000
addition to the Chevy Chase public
library.
Space Is Needed.
This enlargement Of the library,
which is badly in need Of add.
tional space, probably will be au-
thorized at an early meeting of the
citizens. If the $4,000 were not
on hand, Chevy Chase would have
to wait for about two years to
relieve the situation.
Chevy Chase. Md, became
municipal corporation in 1914. The
community leased the postoffice,
with the understanding that $500
was to be spent for equipment and
enlargement. At the time. the
town had no direct authority to
borrow money. In 1915, however,
the legislature allowed the citizens
to assume the mortgage on the
library.
