AS he was passing between the street
lights on Missouri avenue southwest
two colored men emerged from a dark
alley near Four-and-a-half street.
Money Is Demanded.
One trained a gun on Sta and the
other demanded money-the small roll
Of bills which Sit2 had hidden on his
person TO buy his CARLOAD Of vegetables.
Sta made violent gestures of protest,
but the bandits were obdurate One
prodded Sta with the gun, and as he
did so Sta bent suddenly and reached
into his cart for Ratchet he carried
there.
The man with the gun fired twice
and sta ran stumbling off toward the
home of friend, pushing his empty
cart with one hand.
Taken TO Hospital.
At the friends home Emergency Hos

sent to the hospital for treatment and
then discharged.
He had kept his few bills-Sita would
not say how many-but the effort cost
him a bullet hole through the fleshy
part of his shoulder.
Sta, nevertheless, seemed satisfied.

Editor, Times:
Is the United States going to be
the victim of a frame-up by for
eign countries and our own treaty
making officials to get her into
a League of Nations that will
maintain armed forces?
One Of the best public services
rendered during this session Of
Congress has been the bringing
to light of secret correspondence
of the Navy Department, reveal.
ing that in the Navy confidential
files there is a folder marked
Plan for Proposed Armed
Force" to be maintained by the
League Of Nations.
There is the league without
force that President Wilson tried
to sell to the American people!
It is high time that the United
States again became an indie
pendent nation. following the
Washington policy Of freedom
from entangling alliances. But
what with the influence Of our
monied interests and their spe-
cial interest in affairs abroad. it
seems impossible to keep our
meddlesome officials from com
promising the nation.
Why should America bow to
the might Of European navies,
when we are easily able to main
tain a peerless navy of our own?
And now it seems that we may
have to arm against a militant
League of Nations. Or else join.

August westberg, q boiler
makers helper, formerly employed
by the washington Terminal
Company, has brought suit in
Circuit Court to recover $50, 900
damages against the company for
injuries alleged to have been sus.
tanned while he was in the de-
fendant's employ.
Attorney Alvin L. Newmyer
appears for the plaintiff who says
that the accident occurred on
December 3 last and was due
entirely to the negligence Of, the
employer in failing to properly
illuminate the top Of the boilers
where he had gone to tighten q
man.hole plate. He also declares
that because of the failure Of the
company to provide adequate
medical attention for him, he did
not recover from the effects Of
his mishap and is permanently
diSfigured.
Westberg slipped and fell from
the top Of q boiler, q distance Of
10 feet, he declares, because an
electric light bulb had been re-
moved from an overhanging
socket and the place where he
was working was in darkness. All
his ribs on his right side were
broken and he sustained other

Can you imagine him announc-
ing to his supporters that he was
the author of such q bill? The
moving picture interests Of his
State would put terrible howl.
Just because it is the District
of Columbia that is concerned
Congress doesn't care whether
the people like it or not. There
is too much tendency to make
the District a proving ground for
a lot Of crank laws.
To any intelligent person,
which should include some Con.

The announcement that the
actual opening Of the Rock Greek
and Potomac Parkway is not so
far off as many of us thought
it would be, is o welcome bit
of news. Only a few small par
GELS of land remain to be pur-
chased, it is stated officially.
There is a controversy in the
courts between the District gov.
ernment and the Chesapeake q
Ohio Canal Corporation as to the
ownership of the land at the
point where Rock Creek flows
into the Potomac, but this ought
to be settled without great de-
lay.
Certainly the linking of Rock
Greek Park with the Potomac
driveway is one Of the most i'm
portant developments in the local
park system. It will connect
two splendid parks and also in
augurate work upon the develop

waterfront between Hams Point
and Key Bridge. The legislation
contained in the Cramton bill
provides for the extension Of
boulevards between Mt. Vernon
and Great Falls on both sides
Of the Potomac. The Rock Greek
Park "branch" will be one of the
most attractive points on this
Soulevard.
The Titanic memorial is soon
to be dedicated at the foot of
New Hampshire Avenue, and
many other attractive Sculptural
and landscaping features are to
be included in the park develop
nlent. It will be only q short
time, also, when there will be a
system of boulevards connecting
the outermost boundaries of our
various parks, running from
Takoma Park to Anacostia.
