elected DIR. George *. Burgess 10 its

secretary; r. l.. Faris, treasurer, and
Dr. Austin II. Clark and l.. a. Rogers,
members of the board Of managers.
The Archaeological Society of

Believed Left by CoIonists.
They bear archaic Hebrew and
Latin inscriptions and some few sclen-
lists believe the implements, Of which
2f have already been found, prove
earlier rumors Of a band Of Hebrew
colonists, who came over TO this con
tinent about 700 AID. and perlshed
II the implements are authentic, / Is
believed the proof of such colony
would virtually be established, but
there are discrepancies in the enGraE
ings on the crosses and swords that
raise a question as to their authen
ticity.
The implements date from about
775 TO 900 AID. One inscription, de
ciphered, reads as follows: 'As God
was with our fathers 50 may lie be
with us" Another GlOomily declares
The inevitable day has come At last
Some authorities believe the nipple

tlstics to show just how much work
we have been doing in this section OF
the city. The remarkable aspect OF
this ahalr to me- is that police are be
ing criticized one day for too violent
and too stringent enforcement of the
prohibition laws, only to be charged
the next day with too much laxity ard
lazinesS in such enforcement.
MANY complaints have come to nv
attention which developed no situa-
tion in which we could take ction."
Assistant Supt. of Police Charles A.
Evans backed up Capt. Sanford com
pletely.
Capt Sanford's activities in the en-
forcement of prohibition and in his
general conduct of police affairs has
never been such as to attract un-
favorable attention for this office"
he said. Il know that he has made
! larger numbers Of liquor cases and
seized great quantities OF liquor in
/ his prohibition enforcement work in
Southeast. His record is the record
of careful, diligent and capable Of

POLICE DENY LAXITY.
Officials Report on Charge of Rum
Running in City.

From Police and Fire Department
officials today came surprised denials
that there was any laXity in duty or
any discrimination in the way OF
equipment in the southeast section of
the city.
Capt William Sanford of the fifth
precinct, was the most surprised of
them all when faced with the charges
which We're spread abroad at the meet

There's not a single complaint as
to violation of the prohibition law and

be an unSightly view to visitors com

The effect of the construction of this
house, which was authorized by the
last Congress, is to eSta bliSh the tour

position at a time when the Office OF
Public Buildings and Public Parks OF

five or six base ball diamonds.
Means of Assuring Permanency.
The site has been used in the past
without any specific designation from
Congress and could be changed as the
demands for other recreational actiVi-
ties in the park demanded. But II was
said today in the Office of Public
Buildings and Public Parks that the
effect of the beginning of the construc-
ton of the fieidhouse there will es-

in this place. Officials point out that no

slightly. it is we'll nigh impossible be-

View of Fine Arts Commission.
It is understood that the Comnis-

just approved the plans for the field

Public buildings and Parks and has

called for and the contract awarded.
It will be necessary to begin the
structure early IN the Spring, as it
VIII take four or five months to build
/. and the money must be expended
during the current fiscal year. The
house will conform generally to the
type of the field house of the East
Potomac Park golf course, and prob

Officials of the Public Buildings and

alternative than to go ahead with the
building OF the structure there,

A Good One Il TeII


A Florida man who was suddenly
called north on business stopped off
and spent Sunday in Washington.
AS he was passing church during
the evening he thought he would
drop in, although the service was
half over. The minister was preach
ing a sermon on heaven, and he
exhausted the language in describ-
ing it's glories. A man in the same
pew turned to the Florida man and
whispered: 1T must be beautiful
place; how 1 would like to go
therel"
The stranger responded: "Beauti-
full is no name for it. I've been
there three years!'
Been to heaven three years."
WAS he describing heaven?"
Certainly; what did you think?'
"Well, I'll be everlastingly bum
swizzled if 1 didn't think he was
telling about Florida-but 1 did think
he was making it pretty tame!"
