BILLS

The House District Committee
held its last meeting for the pres
entE session of Congress today and
reported out a number of local
bills on which action is expected
by the House before adjournment
March 4.
A favorable report was ordered
on the bill providing an annus!
award by the District government
of gold and silver medals to police
and firemen who distinguish them.
selves by deeds of valor during
the year,
The Senate passed this measure
yesterday, and Chairman f. n.
Zihlman will seek final passage
by the House in the next few days.
To Expedite Legislation
Zihlman received the permission
of the committee to substitute the
Senate bill on the establishment of
two new incinrators for disposal of
District rubbish. A similar House
bill will be taken from the consent
calendar. Similar action was taken
in regard to the Senate bill pro-
viding for 100000 tubercular
sanitorium for District children.
Officials of the Masonic order in
the District appeared to ask action
on a bill removing height restric-
tons in the coming law from the
proposed Masonic Temple on Temple
Heights, at the intersection of Co
lumbia Road and Florida Avenue
Northwest. The committee was in
formed that the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission. and
the Fine Arts Commission were in
favor of lifting the zoning restrc-
tons inasmuch as the building would
not be an obstruction to light and
air. The bill was reported out
favorably and Representative Hihl.
man promised to do his best 10
obtain action upon it.
Representative Ralph Gilbert of
Kentucky asked consideration of
the Dickstein bill providing pen.
atty for persons advertising in such
a manner as to offend any race or

In the interest of speeding up
the remaining District legislation
on the calendar, Representative
Zihlman was given permission TO
take action on House bills amended
by the Senate with the advice of
the ranking minority member of
the committee. This would obviate
the. calling OF. any special meetings
and expedite District legislation

SURE To
CONE

Thorough investigation Of
charges of graft and corrup-
ton in the police department
will be launched the first. of
next week BY the Federal
Grand Jury.
A wealth of evidence containing
allegations of improper conduct on
wholesale scale within the law enforc.
ing department has. already bSen col
lected and on Monday the Grand
Jury viii probably take if up and
Sift it.
The probe is being held up now
only for the completion of the trial
of Captain Guy z. Burlingame, who
is before an extraordinary police trial
board on charges growing out OF
letters which he is alleged to have
written to palmist in his precinct.
AS soon as these proceedings are
completed. the Grand Jury will swing
into action for its general investigs-
ton of the charges which have been
made against the department.
Separate Probe
The Grand Jury investigation Of
general police conditions will be sepa-
rate and distinct from its invest1ga-
ton of the Burlingame case, which
it has undertaken at the request of
Major Edwin B. Hesse, chief of
police.
More than 100 letters, all of which
contain charges against one or more
members of the police force, are in
the hands of District Attorney Leo A.
River and his assistants.
Many of these letters are anony-
nous. but several which are re-
garded by the District Attorneys
office as important, bear the names
of reputable citizens who took this
method of protesting against con.
ditions which they claim to have
found existing here.
Caraway Helps Out
Included in the pile Of evidence
which is being prepared for the
Grand Jury are two large envelopes
full of letters which were turned
over to the District Attorney by
Senator Caraway.
It is understood that these letters
were the determining factor in
Rover's decision to place the entire
graft situation before the inauisi-
torial body.

~ (I.N.S. i'm the tropically

Park, with its background of
swaying palm trees, j ack
Sharkey, of Boston, and Nv.
i. young Stribling, of Ma
con, Ga, will battle tonight
before the most distinguished,
!. il not the wealthiest, audience
that ever witnessed a prize
fight. i.
The bout is scheduled for 10
rounds to a referees decision and
sharkey is expected to enter the
ring an to favorite.
1t win be an intriguing spectacle
from many angles. 1t win be the
first appearance of Jack Dempsey
in the role of promoter, and a sue
cessful one at that, for the box
office receipts are expected to run
up over the .$35O,O0O mark. Then,
too. the bout has whipped up Sec
tionaI interest to fever point, what
with an army OF Southerners here,
to see their idol exchange blows
with the smuggling sailor from the
North,
A Classy Crowd
For sheer class, in the way of q
fight enowd, tonight's outdoor
event will snrpass anything of its
kind on record. A thousand or two
miIlionaires, many of Americas
foremost celebrities and society
women will be among the $4,000
fans sitting in at the death, the
.cakewalk or whatever it may be.
!. No one can figure either Sharkey
or StribIing. Their bout may be
a dud or a thriller, but, somehow,
1t has caught the imagination of
the public.
More than zoe newspaper men, the
largest press representation at any
fight, will be massed around the ring
side. six rows deep. A battery of
telegraph wires have been cut into

Special trains rolled into Miami

fans. Hundreds came by boat from
Havana and from Bimini Island.
Thousands came by automobile, and
they are still coming.
Every spectator who passes Into
flag bedecked Flamingo Park will
have good view of the proceedings,
so compactIy is the new octangular-
shaped arena built. Even the last
row seats are within easy eye dis

Somewhere, in the place will be
such personages as "One-Eyed' Con-

AS the hour of the big fight
nears,, the principals are chatting to
go. Neither Sharkey nor Stribling
did any work today. They will
weigh in officially at 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon in the Miami Beach
Kennel Club. Stribling will weigh
around 1S0 pounds and Sharkey
around 1911.
Betting odds veered sharply in
Sharkey's favor today because of
the preponderance of Sharkey
money. More than 100000 Sharkey
money was lying uncovered in
chunks ranging from $4,000 to
