One teams unbeaten record
will probably go by the board TO-
morrow afternoon when the st.
.Mary's Celtics, Of Alexandria, Va,
land the Mohawks get together in
their football mixup at the Clark
.Griffith Stadium at 2:30 o'clock.
A snow-covered field is the
sprospect, but this won't cool the
action or keep the fans away.
/. Neither team has met a reverse
this season and, barring q tie
game tomorrow, one Of the COM
Ebatants will taste defeat for the
first time. The CelticS. however,
played a scoreless tie with the
sIrvingtons in Baltimore.
] The. Mohawks are not only uf1-
defeated but united as well. Be-
sides, they have battered their
way to at least q two-touchdo Vn
victory in every game. That de-
scribes the gigantic task con-
fronting the Virginians tomorrow.
Nevertheless, the CelticS
will enter the battle firmly
convinced they can defeat
] The Mohawks. Their coach,
Ruhe Hayman, former Vir-
ginia u. tackle, has keyed
I them to a fighting pitch and
/ they are determined TO
fierceIy contest every inch Of
! ground.
| Alexandria fandom is so
aroused by the CelticS' chances
that approximately 500 followers
win descend upon the Griffith
Stadium tomorrow to cheer the
HCeltics.
The ace Of the Celtics is Dick
Allen, a fleet and elusive half
back, who may give the MohaWks
several uneasy moments. He Is
of the Johnny Bozek type ever
q threat and good for a touch
down if he gets loose. Allen will
DE given careful attention by the
guardians Of the Mohawk goal to-
morrow.
He Is also q clever receiver
of passes, his remarkable
speed allowing him to go be-
hind the secondary defense.
He Snagged . pass In the Ir.
vington game and raced over
the final white stripe but the
touchdown wasn't allowed as
. rOOter interfered with Allen.
The Mohawks will go up
against a scrappy eleven, one
that will show more aggressive
ness than the Celtics Of 1928,
which yielded to the Mohawks
by one touchdown. Some Of the
other Celtics' stars besides Allen
are Mike Goldman, Stanley Drei.

Tony Wood. The probable line

REPORT ON GAS
| COMPANY INQUIRY
GUARDED SECRET
Utilities Commission Wants
Time to Study Findings
of Justice Department.
TRANSFER OF STOCK
UNDER CONSIDERATION
Corporation Counsel Bride to Elk
anime Document Received
by Gen. Patrick.

With utmost secrecy the Public IT'LL
tiles Commission today guarded a COM
prehenSive report of the Department of
Justice on the result of its exhaustive
investigation into the ownership of the
Washington Gas Light Co. and its sub
salaries. The report was received yes
terday afternoon by Gen. Mason NJ
Patrick, chairman of the commission.
The Department of Justice inquiry
was made at the request of~the com
mission to determine whether the re-
cent transfer of gas company stock to
the Seaboard Investment Trust was in
violation OF the La Toilette anti-merger
law.
Gen. Patrick declined to make the
report public or to discuss its contents
until it has been studied by the COM
mission. A meeting of the commission
will be held for that purpose Monday,
and the report is expected to be given
out for publication at that time.
Bride to Examine Report.
In the meantime, Corporation Coun-
sci William w. Bride, the commissions
general counsel, expects to examine the
report to be in position to advise the
commission.
Bride said that while he had not read
the report he had been informed of its
reveal or discuss any phase of it. 1T
may be- he said, that after studying
the report I will want to confer with
the Department of Justice over some
of the questions involved. The Fed
eral Government is just as much in
volved in this case as the Public Utili-
ties Commission"
Advised the Inquiry.
It was upon Brides advice that the
commission asked the Department of
Justice to make the investigation. In
his capacity as general counsel he con-
Quoted a preliminary inquiry into the
stock sale, which satisfied him that
more thorough probe should be made
before the case was dropped.
Bride held several conferences with
representatives of the new owners, and
afterward intimated that certain in
formation he wanted had not been
forthcoming. 1t was disclosed at these
conferences that the stock was pur-
chased by a New York investment
securities corporation for a group of
its clients who had formed the Sea-
board Investment Trust for the purpose
of holding it.
The commission is vitality concerned
in the stock transfer because of pro-
vision in the La Toilette anti-merger
act forbidding a foreign holding cor
poration to purchase either directly or
indirectly, or to own or control more
than 20 per cent of the stock in any
local utility corporation. According TO
information given the commission, the
Seaboard Investment Trust owns ap-
proximately 10000 of the 10000 vot-
ing shares of the gas company's stock.
Representatives of the Seaboard In
vestment Trust, however, have pointed
out that the beneficial interest in the
stock is equally divided among five
holding corporations, and, therefore,
each controls less than 20 per cent Of
the stock The Investment Trust it
was claimed, is not itself a corpora
ton. and. therefore, the holding is not
in violation of the Law.

WIFE BRINGS SUIT
ATTACKING DIVORCE
Asks Court to Set Aside De-
cree Obtained by Husband
in Chicago Court.

Attacking the validity of an abso-
lutte divorce decree obtained in Chicago
on August II, 1925, by Gordon w
Benson, 1885 Newton street northeast
counsel representing Mrs. Gertrude M
Benson today filed in the Court of APP
pealS brief to sustain the action OF
the District Supreme Court in setting
aside her husbands divorce.
Mrs. Benson filed suit here for di-
vorce on statutory grounds in 1926,
charging that Benson had deserted her
five years earlier and had taken up
his home with the correspondent in this
city. Benson's answer set up the fact
that year previous to the filing of the
wife's bill he had obtained a valid di-
vorce' from her and had remarked.
According to the brief of the wife,
Benson married Miss Naomi Matthews
in Chicago September "a, 1925, and re-
turned to the District approximately
a month later.
When the suit came on for trial JUS
tice Gordon refused to give full faith
and credit to the Illinois proceedings
and awarded Mrs. Benson No. l a de-
cree with permanent alimony. From
that order Benson sued out ar appeal
to the Court of Appeals, and the case
will come up for argument IN October.
Mrs. Benson, represented by Attorneys
Raymond Neudecker and William c.
Ashford, charges in her brief in the
Appellate Court that Benson went to
Chicago because twas the means of a
divorce through the lines of easiest ,e-
Sistance; that she was never notified of
the proceedings and given no chance to
defend herself. She charged that the
association of Benson and wife No. 2
commenced before her separation from
her husband in 1921.

BATTLE FORECAST
IN FARM HEARINGS
Senator Brookhart and Chairman
Legge Prepare for
Expected Tilt.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
All the signs appear to guarantee an
active battle of wits with a full dis
closure of the Governments farm relief
program when the Senate agriculture
committee interrogates members of the
FeoeraI Farm Board at hearings begin
ming next Tuesday.
The liVeliest contest of all undoubtedlv
VIII be between Chairman Legge and
Senator Brookhart of Iowa, since friends
OF both men are passing out the word
that they are fortifying themselves with
mass of information in the hope
OF 1nsuring themselves against being
Stamped"
Senator Brookhart is not member of
the committee, but he will be permitted
to question board members. So far. he
is the only Senator not a Committee
member who has asked Chairman Nc
Nary for this privilege.
Inc committee itself, however, is well
supplied with Senators closely in touch
with the intricacies of agriculture. AT
present, 1T appears as if the examination
Will center in questions designed to de-
velop what the board has in mind for
wheat, and indications are that several
senators Will demand reasons for the
boards declination to stabilize this prod
uct by market operations.
committee members principally ill
tereSted In the wheat program of the
board include Senators Norris of Me-
braska, a relentless questioner, Norbecl,
OF South Dakota, Frazier of North pa
kota. and Capper of Kansas. The com
mittee also includes several Senators
from the cotton producing States, from
whom there have been some rumblings
that President Hoover failed to name q
board member from a leading cotton
producing section.
The hearings will be conducted for
two hours each morning. Since most of
the interest is focused on Chairman
Legge, fairly rapid progress is expected
TO be made once the chairman has fin
iShed his testimony.
Senator McNary has received several
written complaints against some of the
board members. These will be presented
to the committee at an executive ses-
sion and probably will not be made pub
lie unless the committee decides to in
vestigate them. Some of the complaints
deal with business policies of the In
ternational Harvester Co.. of which Mr..
Legge was the head until his appoint
ment to the Farm Board.

Possibility of moving the headquar-
ters of the United States Coast Guard
from its present location, at Fourteenth
and E streets, to the monumental
Treasury Annex, No. l, on Pennsyl-
vania avenue directly north across the
street from the Treasury Department, is
being considered by officials among gen.
eral plans for a shift of Offices when the
Bureau of Internal Revenue goes into
its new home next Spring.
The Coast Guard is located in a
block which will be torn down to make
way for a new park and traffic arteries,
and Treasury Annex, No. /, is in one
of the most important and best Gov
ernment-owned buildings to be vacated
by the Bureau of Internal Revenue in
the big move.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue,
which collects the Federal taxes, is the
largest single unit in the Treasury and
when it goes into its own home, now
nearing completion south OF the Post

Music Lacks Charm
For Savage Beasts
At Washington Zoo
Lions and Tigers Shrink
and Blink as Jazz Band
Gives Serenade.

La Paradis Jazz Band rather panicked
them at the ZOO yesterday, especially
the lions.
The animal serenade, If you must
know, was not bowling success. The
lions lent ear more because some one
had locked their cage than any alb
original yearning to the saxaphone.
Probably the lions would have left
early, only every time they made for
the exit they bolted smack into barred
door.
1t may have sounded like a serenade
to some people. but it was just another
noise in so far as the lions were con-
cerned.
The tigers, however, seemed more APP
preciative. When the band boys got
inside the safety guard rail, the tigers
crouched close to the bars and looked
hopaful. They seemed quite hungry.
Just to be on the safe side, though,
the band boys stayed out of reach.
The animal Serenade was the La
Paradis Night Clubs own contribution

ization thought it up unaided and car
ried it through to the last note.
