RUM CUSTOMER
IS CAUGHT IN
RAID
Came In to Buy While
Police Were Making
Raid

Sergeant James T. McQuade, Of
the vice squad, refused to act as
bartender during a raid last night
and so the customer helped himself
to half-pint and was arrested for
illegal transportation and possession.
The vice squad was in the midst
of raid on the residence Of
Charles Contee, colored, at IL
MAYORS alley northwest, when two
white men stepped into the from:
room The sergeant had just placed
six half-pint bottles of alleged
liquor on the table, he said, and one
of the men asked for half a pint.
AS McQuade turned his back to
call Contee, so he could get more
evidence, one of the men grabbed
half a pint and slipped through
the door.
The officer ran through the alley
and caught John Horner Oldham in
the act of taking a drink from the
bottle, he said. Oldham was ar
raigned before Judge Gus A. Schuldt
in the United States branch of

pay a fine of $25 or serve twenty

BUILDING BOOM
FOR CAPITAL
FORECAST
Permits Issued in May Smash
All Records-$6, ,334, 900
Total
PerRat %

All records for building opera
tions were smashed last month
when permits for work estimated
to cast $6,S34,oOO were issued. Col
onel John Oehmann, building In
spector, declared today.
The indications are that the year
1925 will see the biggest year for
building operations in history.
Since January 1, the total permits
issued involved more than $22 ,OOO,-
900.
Colonel Oehmann pointed out
that the big increase last month
was not due to any large building
projects.
"Most of the money wFl be spent
for the erection Of small dwellings
and apartment houses" ne sald.
There is but one big project, that
of $500, 900, for an apartment
house."
Colonel Oehmann declared that
during 1920 the total estimated cost
of building operations was only
$S, 200, 900.
"And now for but one month, the
operations nearly equal the figure
for an entire year." he said, THE
outlook for building in Washington
is certainly good. l am sure this
will be the biggest year in the
citys history"
During April, 27o permits to
erect brick dwellings, at an average
cost of $1,000 were issued; twelve
for concrete dwellings,, averaging
S9, 500: eighty-five frame dwellings
averaging $3.50 and twenty-six
anartments averaging $S0,S0O.

PONY CONTEST
WINNER IS
PROUD
Fred 3. Rhodes, Jr., Given
Hahn Company Prize in Fete
at 1O1 Ranch Show

BY long odds the proudest boy in
the District of Columbia today is
Fred B. Rhodes, jr., eleven years
old, Of 5000 Albemarle street, Cleve-
land Park, who owns an Indian
pony awarded him as first prize in
the William Hahn Shoe Company
Fun Club picture coloring and let
ter-writing contest.
Accompanied by his father and
mother and Harry Hahn, little
Freddie attended the 101 Ranch
Wild West and Great Far East
show last night and received the
pony from Colonel Zach Miller, one
Of the owners of the show. After
Colonel Miller had congratulated
him and assured him that the pony
was one of the best in the whole
show. Chief Little Elk, q Sioux
Indian tribe leader, pronounced his
blessing on the youthful winner.
Freddie was considerably mystified,
and perhaps a little awed, by the
weird incantations and sing-song
blessing given in the Indian tongue.
AS the little school boy walked
to the center Of the arena to re-
ceive the pony the big crowd OF
spectators in the large tent Voci-
ferously applauded him. More ap,
plause filled the air as he wended
his way back to his seat after
the presentation.
Chief Little Elk told the diminu-
tive winner that "Ponca" the pony
had been taught many tricks and
that he would be glad to explain
how to put the little equine through
his PAGES. This afternoon Freddie
went back to the show grounds to
take lessons from the Indian CHIEF
as to how to perform the series nf
tricks with "Ponca."
Harry Hahn announced today that
the pony contest was just one OF
series of big events which the Hahn
Fun Club has planned for Wash
ington boys and girls. August a,
he said, would be a banner day for
youngsters in the National Capital.
On that day the Hahn Fun Cub
will have a picnic and outing at

will be free for members Of the
