For, Gardner explains, he
has never been in Raleigh, and
on the date indicated in the
somewhat curt letter accom-
panying the bill he was hard at
work ringing up fares. Cor
reSpondence with the hotel
manager revealed the fact that
some man and woman, posing
as Mr.. and Mrs. Gardner" of
Washington, registered at the
hotel, stayed two days and left
without the formality of calling
for the bill. Hence the letter.
Gardner says he is looking for
the fellow that used his name

be a hospital bill for somebody.

SEVEN OFFICIALS unite
ON EXPLOSION CAUSE.
FINDINGS To Be
GIVEN OUT
MONDAY

Seven officials, five from the
District government and two from
Federal departments. are "of one
mind" as to the cause of last
Thursdays disastrous explosion at
McCrory's s. and 10 cent store,
which cost the lives of six per-
sons.
Major Donald A. Dawson, AS
sistant Engineer Commissioner
who was in charge of an inveSti-
cation from technical stand
point, made this public yesterday.
He refused to reveal what con-
CluSionS had been reached.
To Act Monday
Major Dawson said some or
possibly all of the officials who
assisted him may be called before
the coroner's jury next Monday
They will make no statement
before that time, he said, because
any announcement which may be
taken as fixing responsibility,
might prejudice the inquiry of
the coroners jury. The in
VeStigators also are exercising
caution with regard to possible
damage.
The District Government might
be made a party, legally, to such
suits, it was said, if its officials
gave out any information which
could be brought in by parties
who were prosecuting their
claims.
In Good Condition
A tentative report on the cause
of the explosion, drawn up the
day after it occurred, stated that
the primary cause was the blow
ing up of a hot water boiler, of
the low pressure type, which was
in a vault under the sidewalk in
front of McCrory's store.
This released steam subSe-
quently caused the vault to blow
up and let down the sidewalk,
the report said.
Major Dawson indicated that
there had been no radical change
VI SOIlSAIAOAOAA co w VIC NdOoC oA11SC
this report was drawn up. The
safety valve on the boiler was
found and was in good condition.
ALI pieces of apparatus which the
technical experts wished to ex-
anime were found, DAWSON said.
Some Withheld
Other members of the investi-
eating committee are P. M. Green
law, inspector of boilers; John w.
Oehmann, building inspector; A.
r. McGonigle, plumbing inspec-
tor; Robert E. Lynch, Assistant
Corporation Counsel. and two ex-
rerts from the United States Bu-
reau of Standards and the Bureau
Of Mines. whose names the Dis
trict officials withheld at their
own request.
If a report of the committees
findings is drawn up, it will be
submitted after the inquest to Col.
William B. Ladue, Engineer Com
missioner, Major Dawson said.

Mrs. Minnie E. Kennedy, and their at
torneys, to produce Miss X" who
would pose as the woman who accom-
panied Mrs. McPherson'S radio oper-

Hardy had sufficient knowledge to
prove, even to him." Little declared,
that the evangelist's kidnapping" story
was false. But still, the prosecutor
added, "he persisted in participating
in the case in her behalf and bringing
disrepute and dishonor on his court"

SPORT

Good fellowship and sportsman
ship, the two first principles Of
sports in general and particularly
emphasized in the national bowl
ing rules, are the all-consuming
aim on Mt. Rainier Recreation al.
leys where the cordial Pop" craw-
ley and his son, Hugh, are lords
and masters.
Everything is done to promote
these elements. The alleys have
the coy, genial atmosphere Of q
front parlor.
It actually seems to be a grand
family reunion with every one
trying to make every one else feel
at home.
The Washington times., 1929-11-22

They have eight alleys, opened
In October, 1923, and these alleys
are kept constantly in perfect con
dition. Highly polished, smooth
as glass. -
The equipment is standardized
and up to date in every respect.
The pin boys, essential to good
bowling, are competent spoilers
They place the pins in their
proper positions.
It was here that the father and
son tournament, won by Jack and
Harry Wolstenholme, took place
during the Christmas holidays in
1928. The smooth way in which
this tournament was run is pleas
ing to all participant, and helped
considerably in promoting the
aims of the small pin game. :.
Mt. Rainier Recreation
Mems and Ladies' Leagues are
staging some great battles.
Every year the aim is to
make all teams as evenly
matched as possible, so that
every one may have a chance
for the prizes.
In the mems league, Recreation
is leading at present by a few
games, but half dozen other teams
are pressing close.
Nevertheless to carry on the
traditions Of true craftsmanship
a handicap system was adopted
several days ago, thus really Civ.
ing the underdogS real chance.
They are to be congratulated for
such fine display Of fairness.
Handicaps are unpalatable to
the general run Of bowlers. Too
many are worried about their
final standings rather than the
worthier side Of bowling, giving
the other fellow a sporting
chance.
A particularly remarkable proof
Of the high regard in which they
hold each other Is the Bowie
Motors team, a chronic cellarite,
whose members are glad enough
to give the other teams a close
blattle, though losing. Every
time this team wins game their
opponents are almost as happy
as they.
Mrs. Marguerite Brunette
Is the outstanding woman
bowler. She has a 81 aver
age in the league, . great
average among women. Be-
sides this she has high game,
100.
Her sister. Mrs. lean Carmich-
ael, ably abets her, and her three
brothers. Chef, Charley and Nor,
man Iilley, with Chef leading,
makes the family a conspicuous
bowling group.
The five high average men are
Ray Ward, lis; Lefty Fitzgerald
Hail; Bill Ward, Rays brother,
112.9; Frank Jones, 111.2. and
Chef Lilley, 110.13.
The representative Mt. Rainier
team in the National Capital
League Is making its presence
felt. Their opponents have to
shoot mighty scores to- overcome
them. Recently Ray Ward rolled
o 424 set with games of ISL, 1872,
and ISL. The whole town is proud
Of that achievement.
At the close of the season they
have a banquet at which all the
town officials are invited.
At the last banquet, the mayor
took occasion to remark on the
splendid influence that the bowl
ing alleys were exerting under
the fine management of the
Crawleys. The high standards
maintained were a credit to the
community.
It is said that 80 per cent of
the bowlers are women. Mrs.
