Other Buildings and Grading
to Be Separate.

New bids on the work of demolishing
buildings in square 226,' which is the
area on the south side of Pennsylvania
avenue between Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth streets. will be received by the
Treasury Department, 1t was said today.
Contracts for wrecking Polls Theater
and the other buildings in the block
and for grading the property will be
let separately instead of in one con-
tract as was contemplated when bids
for the work were advertised some
time ago.
Decision of the Treasury to let the
contracts separately resulted in the
refusal Of the low bid of H. Herfuth,
Jr., Inc. 1t was said today that deep
cellars are on the property and that
considerable grading will be necessary
to build the land up to the level of the
new Commerce Department Building.
Rather than leave this work to house
wrecking companies, who ordinarily do
little grading work, it was said, the
Treasury decided to separate the work.
Bids will be advertised Immediately,
it was said, with a view to having the
work start within three weeks. All the
buildings in the block are to be RACED
and the property made over into a
park.

SP|R|TUAL|ST BILL
HIT BY D. c. HEADS
Issue State Paper Holding
Present Law Should Re-
main Undisturbed.

The Commissioners, in state paper
issued yesterday, discussed rather ex-
haustively the matter of fortune telling
and Spiritualists, but carefully avoided
any decision, except to hold that the
present laws ON these subjects should
be allowed to remain undiSturbed.
According to the present situation,
anybody who can present letters from
10 reputable persons showing that he
or she has resided in the District for
one year and is person of good moral
character can set up in the business OF
fortune telling by paying a license fee
of SIS per annum. The letter of the
Commissioners, addressed to the Senate
District Committee, was applied to the
discussion of a bill introduced in the
Senate at the past session OF Congress
making it an offense, punishable by
fine or Imprisonment, to pretend" to
tell fortunes, remove spells, etc.
Only Pretenders Included.
Said the Commissioners: Prom the
terms of the bill 1t would seem from
the use of the word pretending" as
considered in connection with the para
graph of the license law (the present
law the inference is that bona fide
not to be included within the operation
of the bill, but that only those who pre-
tend to perform these acts. AS TO
whether or not there Is any person so
gifted as to be able to foretell the flu
ture or to be able to perform any OF
the acts denounced in the bill, there
is considerable doubt There are a
great many persons who believe that
certain individuals possess such power,
as is evidenced by the fact that so
many persons are engaged in this call
ing and so many persons CatrOnlze
them.
Up to Court to Decide.
~As at present worded, the bill leaves
to the prosecuting offcer and to the
court the determination of whether or
not a fortune teller, soothsayer, etc,
Is a bona fide fortune teller, ETC., who
futures or the fortune of the seeker for
information, or whether the alleged
fortune teller is merely pretending to
foretell the future.
IF it is intended to except from the
operation of this bill bona fide fortune
tellers, ETC., it would appear to be
necessary that some test of the skill
of the fortune teller be set forth, in
order that there may be some means
of determining whether or not the
fortune teller is really fortelling the
future or is merely pretending to do so.
IF, on the other hand, 1t is the in
tent of the bill to brand as fraudulent
all persons who hold themselves out
as able TO foretell the future or for
tune of any person, it would appear to
be necessary to remove any possible
doubt as to the intent of the bill.
THE Commissioners do not recon-
mend the passage of the bill In its
present form"

KNOX CONVICTED
ON CHECK CHARGE
Judge MattingIy Imposes 90
Day Suspended Sentence
on Former Senator's Son.

Philander C. Knox, jr., known as
"Tippy," son of the former Senator and
Secretary of State, was found guilty of
giving a bad check and received a
suspended sentence of go days in Jail
from Judge Robert E. Mattingly in Po-
lice Court today.
Knox, who gave his address as Wild
Rose Shore, Md, was arrested last night
by Headquarters Detective B. w
Thompson upon complaint of P. N
ChildS of the 800 block of Ninth street
The latter reported that Knox had
given him a worthless check as part
payment for a motor boat engine.
After hearing today Judge Mating
ly scored Childs for "his manner OF
testifying' and for bringing to court 9
case which should have been and could
have been settled on the outside"
Knox told Judge Mattingly that on
July l he gave Childsr an old motor
on which he was allowed $50 and
a post-dated check for $279 N ex-
change for a new boat engine. The
check. Knox said was dated July Is
and was given Childs with the under
standing that the latter would not
cash it until "nis quarterly dividend
check should be received" The de-
PENDANT declared Childs attempted to
cash the instrument before he had
banked his check. Since that time,
he said, he had returned the engine
to Childs and had offered to make
restitution.
An attempt was made after the trial
to have the suspended sentence sci
aside in an effort to clear Knoxs name
of the charge. Judge Mattingly agreed
to dismissal of the case If Assistant
District Attorney John r. Fitzpatrick
would sanction it. The latter refused
to give his consent to such action.
''I am convinced that this man gave
bad check" said Mattingly. but
at the same time I don't place much
credence In the testimony of the COM
planning witnesses"
