 WHICH WAS WORSE
Judge ApportiOns Blame for
 Cherry Street Fight

That there was fight on Cherry
 street last Saturday night, in which Vito Baccilieri and Tony Amodio were involved, and that the latter was cut on the hand was determined in police court today after long hearing, but circumstances and de tails surrounding the affray were
 far from clear to Judge Traccsli who remarked that BaCCilliCri im- pressed him as being worse than
 Amodio. so he fined him $25 and
 costs on the charge of breach of the
 peace and assault while a fine of
 $5 and costs imposed in Amodio's S
 case on the same charge was re-
 mittcd.
 Judge Traccslli observed that
 BaccillIcrl was not truthful with the
 police after his arrest yesterday fore noon, for when Sergeant J. J. King asked him if he had eyer been ar

 admitted Ii on the witness stand. He claimed. however that he though; the sergeant wanted to know only about his local record.

 cipals, the Doice and others the court gathered that Amodio, who is
 55 years Of age. boards with the Ecorice family at 52 Cherry street,
 while BaccilHeri. who is @&. lives alone at no Cherry street. They had

The Senate yesterday afternoon
adopted an amendment to the Army
appropriation bill allowing $4,000 to the
chief of engineers for the purpose of

LECTURER GIVES
TALK ON BIRD LIFE
Capt. Brown, Addressing
Geographic Society, Out.
lines Researches.

Capt. C. w. r. Knight. British natu-
ralist and photographer Of bird life,
feels certain that the smile, blind as
a bat" Is an unfair reflection on the
eyesight of all bats.
Not only that, but Capt Brown, lee
turing here last night for the National
Geographic Society, came to the de-
Tense of the wo0dpecker, whose de-
structive tendencies, he said, are over
rated by the public.
The speaker pointed out that wood
peckers, almost without exception. con-
fine their activities to dead wood, and
are harmless In so far as thrifty vege-
tation is concerned.
Capt. Brown has spent great deal OF
time in the treetops with a camera,
often under the most distressing cir
cumstances, waiting for his feathered
subjects to consent to pose.
Once Capt. Brown occupied the better
part of two weeks perched atop f1imsy
observation post mounted ON tree, all
to get a few intimate shots Of the
heron'S home life.
Speaking of the Starlings, Capt.
Brown said 1t was harmful to disturb
the balance of nature by importing
birds or animals. He said the American
gray squirrel in England Is as much
disliked as are the starting and English
sparrow here. and that the transplanted
rabbit Is working havoc in Australia.
The speaker appeared on the plat
form with trained eagle perched on
his wrist, and allowed the bird to fly
about the stage, subject to his COM
mandS.

was suspended by wire from the CELL
ing. There was basin with running
cold water, and by going through two
corridors and down flight of steps
one could take a bath in the hotel
bathtub
The hotel question disposed of, the
party had a period of leisure in which
to take a walk about the town and to
inspect some of the sidewalk cafes
which fiourished at every corner. 1t was
impossible to shop, as the stores had
been closed by government proclama-
ton. The citizens who were not slipping
refreshments at the sidewalk tables or
strolling the streets were enjoying the
cool of the evening from balconies OF
their homes, or from flrst-f1oor WIN
dows, through half-open Venetian
blinds. This custom of watching the
world pass by ones window seems 70
be a popular one with the dark-eyed,
long-lashed senoritas Of Ecuador.
The presidential banquet was to be
most formal function, SO all members
of the mission had brought ashore their
dress clothes AS the hour for the din
ner neared there was q general retreat
to the hotel rooms to prepare for the
evenings festivities. and not long there
after the members of the party were
converging at a substantial downtown
club building, to become the dinner
guests of the hospitable President OF

dent-elect for the duration of his stay.
The program of the evening was to
include q state banquet, given by Presi-
dent and Sonora Ayora, and grand
ball In honor of the party. MIR. and
Mrs. Hoover were to return to the
Cleveland late that night, but all other
members of the party were advised they
could remain in Guayaquil overnight
and return to the ship early the next
made, it was asserted.
Confusion at Hotel.
A cog had slipped somewhere with
regard to the hotel arrangements, how
ever, and there ensued several hours OF
od-natured confusion, while frantic
efforts were made to find the rooms
that had been reserved. It developed
that several rooms had been set aside
at one of the hotels, but it was i'm
possible to accommodate all the mem
berS of the party in these.
Guayaquil'S hotels would be easily
mistaken for almost anything else II
they were transplanted in progressive
American city. They are drab frame
structures whose first stories are oc-
cupied by stores or barroonls or other
businesses and whose second stories con-
tain the modest Hobbies and hotel offices
The living quarters are far from modern
and bathrooms in connection are an
exception. rather than the rule, The
hotel business generally Is slow, and the
rooms have a musty odor suggestive OF

an old house whose tenants long ago
have forsaken it.
Now, however, Guayaquil was doing
the biggest hotel business in its history,
and rooms were at a premium. Tele-
phone calls, through Interpreters, were
made to the half dozen hostelries In
the port, but all reported their estab-
lishments filled Finally the Ecuado-
rian army was called into play. A de-
tail of officers began personal canvass
of the hotels and in half an hour re-
turned with a list of rooms available
for the visitors How they accom-
plished the impossible never will be
known, but the Ecuadorian army can
work wonders-especially with meek
hotel proprietors.
Overflow Taken Care OF.
Most Of the overflow was taken care
of in a curious sort of family hotel
located on a quiet. unpaved side street
lust off the main business section. The
Americans were ushered UP narrow
unlighted stairway to second floor
landing that served as lobby, ano
thence to barn-like rooms, whose walls
were whitewashed boards, topped OH
with lattice-Work, and whose doors
we're merely planks nailed together
with cleats and equipped with pad
locks and hasps. Several Of the rooms
faced on the street, but the others were
utterly devoid of windows, the lattice
work admitting light and air.
The rooms were quite clean, however
and the small iron cots were neat, II

MacCracken Predicts Use of
Refueling in CONNER
ciaI Aviation.

Air leaders of the National Capital
joined with members Of the Aero Club
of Washington Chapter of the National
Aeronautic Association to honor the
members of the crews of the Question
Mark and refuelfng plane No. /, which
aided it in establishing world en-
durance record of more than six days,
at a luncheon yesterday in the Willard
Hotel.
william p. MacCracken, jr., Assistant
Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics,
declared that In his opinion the flight
Of the Question Mark will lead to an
application of the refueling principle for
sustained fight to the commercial avia-
ton field in the not far distant future.
He said that the system of refueling
must be perfected, however, before 1t
can be applied successfully to civilian
operations.
Capt. Ira C. Eaker, chief pilot of the
Question Mark, said that the flight has
very valuable application to military
use. Refueling in fight can be en-
ployed to increase materially the range
of heavy bombardment planes. to en-
able them to get off the ground safely
with their heavy loads and to double
their Carrying capacity by cutting down
the amount of fuel. Refueling will be
practicable in commercial use in the
near future, he predicted.
Among the other speakers were Mai
Carl Spatz, commander of the Cues
ton Mark; Lieut.. Elwood r. Quesada

House naval committee charged yes

Yesterday for consideration.

declared, whenever the Congress was
considering increases for the American
Navy, it has been customary for the
British press to broadcast the intention
of Great Britain to slow up her build

have been taken seriously by pacifists
and European patriots"

He said wages were insufficient to
