in the merger agreement made by
Senate traction experts.
The executive session was pre-
ceded by brief public hearing,
which was shut off on the motion

consideration of the bill in the
House. He stated that il he cannot

POLICE F ALL
To FIND
CLUES
By FRANCIS F. HEALY

CHICAGO, Feb. Is (IN.S.).
City, county and Federal
agencies plunged into the
sordid maze of theories, plots
and counter plots here today
in an effort to solve the
horrible massacre Of six
members of gangdom and a
doctor, who met death yester-
day standing in single file
against a brick wall when
deadly machine gun slugs tore
into their bodies.
The key to the solution. 1t IS
generally believed. lies in the find
ing of George Bugs" Moran, leader
of the North Side mob" which was
annihilated by the super.stroke Of
gangland.
Moran was variously reported in
hiding, fleeing the city, and critically
i'll of influenza.
Forty men have been rounded up
and are held at the detective bu-
reau for questioning.

COMPLETE
BLALOCK
CHARGE
PROBE

Operatives of the Depart
ment of Justice have virtually
completed their investigation
of the Burlingame Blalock
case and today placed reports
in the hands of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney William H. Col
Inns and Corporation Counsel
William W. Bride.
Whether the Department of JUS
tice agents discovered anything
more than was uncovered by the
Gibson Investigation Committee OF
the House. Bride would not reveal.
No Hurry Planned
Bride said he intended to make
a careful study of the report and
would not reveal what it contained
until he drew formal charges on
which Capt. Guy E. Burllngame
will be brought before the Police
Trial Beard.
There is no intention to rush the
case, Bride declared. He predicted
that it would he at least week
before he had finished drawing up
the charges on which BuriinSame
will be prosecutde.
The report submitted to him this
morning probably does not repre-
sent the end of the inve stigation
being made by the Department of
Justice. Bride said.
The department is investigating
-;4 the
suit Of requests from three differ
ent sources. Collins first called for
aid. Bride followed. And now Sen
ator Caraway of Arkansas has
turned data over which may result
in a, police upheaval within few
weeks.
Commissioners Quiet
Since suspending Burlingame
without pay and announcing that
the veteran captain would be sent
before the trial board, the District
Commissioners have maintained
''hands off,. policy. They are con-
fronted with the problem of appoint
ing a special trial board to hear the
case.
Proctor L. Daugherty. president of
the Board Of District Commissioners,
today said he did not think the board
would be selected until Bride had
drawn up the charges.
Evidence thus far accumulated by
Assistant District Attorney Collins
in the Burlingame matter will not

1,rtil after the Police Trial Board
hearing. Collins declared this morn

Asked concerning the reports in
a morning paper that he intended
seeking an indictment against the
police captain, Collins said his in
vestiga ton was not complete enough
for final action to be determined,
and that il a final survey of all
the evidence in the Burlingame
case, did merit II Grand Jury hear
ing, such action would be deferred
until after the. trial board hearing.
Aiding City Heads
Collins further said that as fast
as Investigated matter is, turned over
to him, he refers 1t to the District
Commissioners for their use in pre-
pairing charges against Burlingame.
He asserted his efforts now are di.
rected entirely in cooperation with

SOCCER NEARS
MAJOR STATUS

Despite internal diSsension In the
local leagues, soccer made great strides
as a major sport in the District this
year. Two new leagues-Service and
Junior American-were formed, giving
Washington a total of five unlimited
circuits, namely, Recreation, Capital
City, Washington Soccer, Service and
Junior American.
After much discussion that at one
time threatened to disrupt the whole
soccer organization and caused the sus-
pension Of the Clan MacLennan club by
the United States Foot Ball Association,
the Washington Soccer League cham
pionShip was awarded to the Concord
club. Rockville won the Capital City
League title and Plaza won the Recrea-
ton League championship.
British United won the local aSSocia-
TONS cup tie tournament, but was elm
mated in the first round of the national
cup play. A forward step in connection
with the cup games was made during
the year when the Washington and
Southeastern District Soccer Associa-
ton lowered the fee for entering its
eliminations to 50.
Mcfarland again won the junior high
school championship, while the elemen-
tary school champion is yet to be
named. More than 1000 boys and las
teams played in the Fairgrounds de-
partments elementary school series.
The Washington and Southeastern
District Soccer Association. which con-
trolls the game here and in the South
ern states, elected the following officers
to handle affairs: President, John Mac
Beth; vice president. Jess Burton: Sec
rotary, Richard s. Tennyson; treasurer,
Robert Bruce.

RING AND MAT
SPORTS ACTIVE

There was much activity among box
ers and wrestlers in the District this
year, and a member of Georgetown Uni
versity's boxing team scored signally in
the intercollegiate meet. Charley Fish,
a shifty ringman of the Blue and Gray
squad, won the title in the 145-pound
class.
Catholic University as we'll as George
town put forth boxing teams. The
Brooklanders did we'll, too. beating the
teams of Temple and Bucknell and
drawing with that of Washington and
Lee. They were defeated, though, by
New York University, but only four
matches to three.
Georgetown's team gave those of
Western Maryland and New York Uni-
versity good battles. but was defeated
by each, four matches to three. The
Hoyas lost to Army, Navy, Yale and
Penn State.
Among the clubs, Jewish Community
Center had the best boxing team. 1t
went through heavy schedule without
losing a team match. The City Club
and knights of Columbus also fostered
boxing and were represented by clever
teams.
Two District professionals gained rec
ignition. Marty Gallagher and Joe
of bouts In ring shows In the East and
South.
The mat game was left mainly to the
professionals, who flourished here dur
mig the early part of the year and have
afforded considerable entertainment the
past two months. Joe Turner, District
veteran, has figured in many Of the pro
matches this year.
University of Maryland and Gallau-
Diet had informal teams in competition
on the mat for time, but none of the
other District colleges and no school
here was interested In the sport.
