RETENTION Of BELL
URGED BY CITIZENS
Advisory Council Proposes
That He Be Kept as Engi-
neer Commissioner.

Retention of Lieut.. Col. J. Frank
lin Bell as Engineer Commissioner of
the District was urged by the Citizens
Advisory Council last night in adopt
ing report on the bill now pending
In Congress to permit the extension
of his detail. Col. Bells present de-
tail will expire in June.
THE District is in the midst of a
very important period of growth and
expansion" said the report. 1.-THE
principal activities thereto pursuant
fail in the engineering department
~nder the supervision of the Engineer
Commissioner.
Experience Questioned.
1.-THE civilian Commissioners and
two civilian members of the new
Public Utilities Commission have re-
Gently been appointed by the Presi-
dent, but have not yet been confirmed
by the Senate. The Engineer Com
missioner is a member of both of
these commissions.
"The two civilians recently nOmi-
mated to the Public Utilities Commits
sion are inexperienced, so far as we
know, in the handling of public utility
problems. The present Engineer Com
missioner has had satisfactory expert
ence in the development and expan-
sion of the District as well as in
utility matters.
Retention Urged.
For the reasons herein enumerated,
the Citizens Advisory Council believes
it desirable that the present Engineer
Commissioner be permitted to remain
in his present position for another
term
The council disapproved provisions
in the new life insurance code now
pending before Congress which are
designed to save the companies money
in fees and taxes, and Endorsed the
proposed legislation to authorize an
expenditure of 5000, 900 for the acquisi-
ton of a new site for the Farmers
Produce Market, with recommended
ton that the money come out of the
Federal instead of the District treas
ury.

which sets to rest the minus Of base
ball fans who, since the middle Of
last season, were curious TO know
where the much discussed player
would land.
Since the day CuyIer was fined $50
for his failure to slide into second
on a close play. he spent very little
time on the playing field and in the
world series, warmed the bench en-
tirely. IL was plain enough that all
was not well between the Pittsburgh
bosses and the flashy outfielder, and
clearer still to see that he would not
draw his salary from the Pirates
next year.
Naturally the fans we're anxious to
know what vas TO become of the star.
and as a result CUyler became, one of
the most traded men IN baseball. He
was traded" TO almost every club in
the league and President Dreyfuss
became tired of continually spiking
rumors that Cuyler would go TO this
or that team for these or those play
ers.
The news that Cuyler would 90 to
the Cubs for 'Sparky" Adams. second

one concerned. IL is believed that
the trade was about the best the
Pirates could have made, as the team

The injured officer sustained q
nasty spill those witnessing the con-
test say, and it is believed his horse
partially rolled upon him when.
both went down in a swirl Of dust
near the center Of the field. He was
unconscious when picked up, bat la
ter recovered and apparently was
suffering no serious effects from the
fall.
Later in the afternoon, however, he
again lapsed into Inconsistencies,
and the San Antonio trip was decided
upon, after Capt. Frederick r.. Rice.
post medical officer, had expressed
the belief that Capt. Berlin might be
suffering from internal injuries.
No bones were broken in the fall.
il was said. and il was at first be-
lieved that the soldier had sustained
only severe conclusion.
Capt. Berlin's presence in the line
up was caused by the non-arrival of
Lieut.. Il. b. Evans, Fort Ringgold
popo player, who has been temper
arily transferred here, and who was
scheduled to reach Fort Brown late
Saturday.
The regular No. 3 player of the
Whites, Corp. Cornde, had been
transferred TO the Fellows in expec-
tation Of the arrival of Lieut.. Evans,
and when the latter officer failed
to appear. Capt. Berlin, who has
been serving as a substitute, was in
serted in the lineup.

Of Cornde and Sergt. McGehee, for
mer members Of the White team
were playing a greatly superior ar
ticle Of polo 70 that displayed BY
them a few weeks ago.
Given a handicap Of two points az
the start of the affair they stepped
forth and annexed a third marker in

total of five in the fifth session.
The Whites COPIED a point in the
third stanza: two more in the fourth
and added their fourth in the fifth
