HOUSE COMMITTEE
WEIGHS WEAPON BILL
Group Hears Measure Read by
Paragraphs, but Takes
No Action.

For nearly two hours today the House
District committee considered the re-
vised bill to discourage the possession
and carrying of dangerous weapons, but
took no action. The revised bill was
read by paragraph to the committee
by Corporation Counsel Bride, who with
Rufus W. Pearson, attorney for the
Washington Board of Trade and other
civic organizations, had been instructed
by the committee to draft bill con-
tanning the various suggestions by the
House District committee at an earlier
session.
Several members of the committee
expressed themselves as not ready to
vote on the bill at this time, so Chair
man Mcleod was instructed to intro
duce the redrafted bill.
The corporation counsel and several
members of the committee said it was
hoped that this bill would be taken as
a model for Nationwide legislation on
this subject.

coming CHANGES
GAIN APPROVAL
Proposals Would Transfer
Garage Permit Powers to
District Commissioners.

Two proposed amendments to the
coming regulation changing the rules
relating to garages met with wide ap-
prevail and little objection at public
hearing before the zoning Commission
today.
One Of the amendments would give to
the District Commissioners instead of
the Zoning Commission the power to
deny application for a permit to erect
a public garage in the residential dis
trict If they find that its location is
such as may cause Objectionable traf-
nc or otherwise dangerous conditions.
The second provides that garages may
be built or enlarged, without consent of
property owners, but with approval of
the District Commissioners, in apart
ment houses, provided the total floor
area for the garage does not exceed
one-fourth of the total floor area de-
signed for use by tenants of the apart
ment house.
Error Brings Rehearing.
The amendments were approved by
the Board of Trade, the Operative
Builders Association and the Dupont
Circle Citizens Association. These or
CARNATIONS had expressed their APP
prevail at a previous hearing on the
second of the two amendments, but this
was readvertised for rehearing because
of technical error in the wording of
the amendment in the original adver-
tiSement.
Vigorous opposition met a request to
change the coming of 2110 MaSSachu-
sets avenue from residential B restrict
ed to residential c area to allow the
construction of an apartment house
Joseph A. Rafty, representing Larz
Anderson, 2118 Massachusetts avenue,
objected on account of the residential
character of the block, where the homes
of Mrs. Chauncey Depew, Gen. John A.
johnson and Henry P. Blair are located.
Mr.. Blair of 2112 Massachusetts, avenue
also registered strong objection.
Club Petition Is UnOppOsed.
There was no opposition to a petition
from the University Club to change the
allowable height of it's building from 90
to ITO feet. George F. Snyder, presi-
dent of the club, which is at the north
west corner of Fifteenth and I streets,
said that the club under the present
coming could place two additional
stories on its building, but that it
wished to place three. The third, he
said, would be used for a gymnasium
with athletic practice courts on the
roof
A request for a change from a re-
stricted to A area on the northeast cor
ner of Twenty-eighth street and Cath
edral avenue was withdrawn.

Policeman Lauds
Boy PatrOlman for
Bravery in Rescue

James Frye took in the situa-
ton at a glance, and, with COM
mendable disregard of personal
danger, pulled her out of the
path of the oncoming car"
mus James, member of the
A. A. A. School Boy Patrol of
the Stevens School, was COM
mended by Policeman C. H.
Lutz, assigned to school safety in
the third precinct, in his report
to the District of Columbia Di-
vision of the American Automo-
bile Association.
According to the report, the
schoolboy patrolman was on duty
at the intersection of Twenty
first and M streets January 81,
when Ruth Allen, 8, of 2217 N
street, started to cross the street
in response to his signal. She
slipped on the ice and fell in the
path of an automobile, whose
driver did not or could not stop
his machine. Lutz's report states
that James, at considerable per-
Sonal risk, acted on the impulse
of the moment and dragged the
girl to safety.
The policeman's report has
been referred to the joint board
composed of representatives of
the school authorities and the
A. A. A. to determine whether
there shall be an award of the
A. A. A. medal of merit.

LAYTON IS AGAIN
 BILLIARD CHAMP
Rises to Great Heights by De- leatinS Reiselt in Final Match

New York. Jan, II Pl-Johnny Layton of St. Louis, whose trade is billiards but who would much rather haunt the wilds of the North Land, once again is perched on top of the thrcc-cushion billiard world.
 For the eighth time in 20 years of billiard competition Layton oCcu- pies the throne of the angle cushion players. Rising to brilliant heights the champion retained his title last night by downing Otto Reiselt of Philadelphia 30 to 32 in A innings of sensational shot making. It was the third consecutive year that Layton emerged triumphant in a championship tournament. The other three titles were won before he went into temporary retirement in 1925.
 Although the pair of cue masters has been playing in championship three cushion play together for a decade it was the first time they ever met in a final game. Rciselt won his only title in 1925. while Layton was in retirement. Last night the little Philadelphia Ger man Stylist sought to match Layton with a daring safety game. For 2S innings he was successful turning in billiard for Carom.
 Then came the break. With clock like consistency Layton began to roll up the score. In 1G innings he counted 50 billiards. g of which were made in the last eight innings. It was during this remarkable spurt that the champion ran his high cluster Of eight. Rcisclt sought to stay in the battle. counting eight in two consecutive innings but as a rule he found himself trontcd with q defensive style of play that was almost as brilliant as Layton's of ftnSC
