There is at least this much reliable
information of what happened on F

Theater. A snake was seen.
This obviously is true, because a whole
,rowd of theatergoers saw it.
Aside from that much. however, this
snake tale has been tied in knots.
newspaper reporter said the snake
was six feet lorg, one foot of which the
city editor trimmed off.
Bicycle Policeman Jess r. Birch said
the snake was lat least three feet long"
which seemed well within the reguia-
tons
incidentally, the policeman rode his
wheel over the snake and ought TO

FAVOR ARMORY
FOR D. c. GUARD
Those Appearing at Public
Hearing Voice No 0biec-

The committee appointed several
sioners to study the question of hous-
ing the District National Guard in a
proper armory held a public hearing
yesterday afternoon at which all pres
ent spoke in favor of construction of
worthy building to house the Dis
truct's militia.
The committee had expected to hear
arguments for and against any fea-
ture of the situation, together with sug-
gestions as to sites, etc. All present,
however, merely spoke generally in
favor of having a good armory in
Washington for the National Guard
National Hotel
The committee retired to an exec
utive session with representatives of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission after the hearing to discuss
the possibility of using land owned by
the Federal Government for the armory.
The result of the discussion was not
made public, however.
The committee had invited Maj. Gen.
William G. Everson, jr., of the Militia
Bureau, and Mai. Gen. Anton Stephan,
commanding the local Guard unit, to
sit with it. Gen. Everson spoke on the
interest in the State Guards being
shown elsewhere than in Washington.
He said that the records at the Militia
Bureau showed that the Washington
Guardsmen, in spite of the handicaps
under which they struggle, are among
the six ''top-notch" units.
The committee considering the ques-
ton consists of Assistant Engineer Com
missioner Donald A. Dawson, chair
man; Building Inspector John w.
Oehmann, who commands the Engineer
regiment of the local Guards, and
Municipal Architect Albert L. Harris.
Those present at the hearing included
William NICK. Clayton, Charles /.
Stengel and Marguerite Baughmann of
the Federation of Citizens Associations.

GARFIELD CITIZENS
DENIED FARE CUT
Public Utilities Group Rules
Against Remedy for Odd
Situation.

Residents of Garfield, in the eastern
section of the city, pay 16 23 cents
to get to the navy yard, but they can
get home for 2-3 cents over the same
lines. They tried to remedy this situ-
alton by an appeal to the Public Util-
tiles Commission. Today the commits
sion denied the application, and the
situation remains.
This is the way it works: In order
to get downtown the Garfield COM
muterS get into a Washington Rail-
way a. Electric Co. bus and paw 10
cents cash. In return for this they are
given transportation to The w. r. & E
Anacostia street Car line, and trans
fer which allows them to ride the street
car line to Eighth and G streets south
east, where they take the Capital Trac-
ton Co.'s navy yard line. Here they
must pay at least token, costing 6 2-3
cents. Total, 16 2-3 cents.
Going home the commuter gets on
the Navy Yard car and buys a token
1928 cents) and a transfer to the
way 81 Electric Co. Il cent?. At Eighth
and Il street southeast he tranships to
the Anacostia line of the Washington
Railway &, Electric Co. and he gets q
cent transfer to the Washington Rail-
way & Electric bus line. Total, 92-3
cents.
The Garfield citizens tried to get the
commission to compel the Washington
Railway g. Electric Co. to sell 1-cent
transfer at Eighth and G on the in
bound trip. This would be sold to those
who started their trip on the Anacostia
car, but not to those who started on the
bus and transferred to the car. This
the commission declined to do. One of
the strongest arguments used by the
Washington Railway e. Electric Co. in
asking for an Increase that might be
granted to the Capital Traction Co. in
the recent carefare case was that it
was essential to the well-being of the
companies TO keep all fares in the Dis
trict uniform.

Excitable MOtOrist

Ties Up All Traffic
Pedestrian Hops Over Key
Bridge Rail-but Only
to Walk on Old Span!

A whimsical pedestrian and motor
iSt too easily alarmed were the reasons
why hundreds of Government employees
were late for work this morning.
In the police report of the incident
the pedestrian Is identified as Mr..
x, and the motorist as Mr.. Y.
The report was bit vague, but the
substance Of what happened is this:
Mr.. x, coming from some unknown
place, paused at the Virginia side of
the Key Bridge. For reasons known
only to himself, he decided that the
walking was better on the old Aqueduct
Bridge. Without more ado he scaled
the guard rail of the Key Bridge and
leaped to the other span, about eight
feet away and few feet lower.
Autoist Sees Head Vanish.
That would have been the end of the
matter had not Mr.. approached in
his automobile just in time to see the
head and shoulders of Mr.. x vanish
over the side.
Mr.. Y did not hesitate or investigate
He sped across the bridge and told a
traffic policeman on the other side what
he had seen. This policeman called
the seventh precinct and a detail Of
men was sent to the bridge.
Another motorist saw the policemen
on the bridge, and stopped to ascer-
tain why they were there. He took it
upon himself to spread the news, and
in a very few minutes hundreds of
automobiles lined the bridge on either
side.
Maybe It Was Woman!
The story began to assume different
aspects. Some had it that a man had
gone over, others that it was a woman.
One man detected scratches on the
guard rail and advanced theory that
an automobile had scaled the five-foot
barrier.
The policemen Investigated and
learned from witnesses that Mr.. K had
crossed the old bridge safely and con-
tinued on his way to an unknown des-
tination. Mr.. Y, also, had disappeared
In a few minutes the police left. but
an hour later the crowd was still there,
patiently scanning the river for sight
of a floating body or automobile.

due 10 a clerical oversight, 1t was not
held at that time Among those who
preSf nted the objection were Edward

Improvement today in the condition
OF 7-year-old Harriet Garfield of 1875

the child's life had been saved after her

the blazing dress from her, beating out
the flames.

ance ringing in his ears, Hoover yes
terday spoke to his banker bosses
at the National Convention of the
American Bankers Association, in
session here.
The chief imperialist liar forgot all
about his promises last March of an
end to the crisis in Sixty days" His
whole speech was defense of
capitalism and the misery it SEN
fences all workers to. He exposed
the fangs of the bosses, who he said
were determined never to brook de-
feat" promising to throw the entire
burden of the crisis on the backs of
the workers.
He slightly chided one of the
bankers for exposing the wage cut
ting drive. Hoover repeated his
phrases of last November of being
against any lowering of the standard
of living. This is a threat and warn
ing to all workers. as Immediately
after Hoovers last pronouncement
of the same phrases. 48 major plants
throughout the United States cut
wages from 10 to 40 per cent.
Relief for Bosses

with measures of relief from the eff
feet of the collapse of year ago"
said Hoover What "relief'' have the
100000 jobless obtained? Outside
Cleveland cops, on orders from
Hoover, were battering down men.
women and children for demanding
relief"
Yes, Hoover did give the bosses
relief. He handed the Standard Oil
Co. and the Sinclair Oil Co. a $40,-
000,000,000 present in Colorado oil
lands. He turned over to the Mellon
trusts, the U. S. Steel Corporation,
in which he and most of the bank
ers he spoke to have large holdings
in, taX-return "relief" of over $780,
100000; he and his administration
passed the Naval Treaty providing
for the expenditure of 81 200, 900, 900
for war preparations.
For the workers Hoover's speech
shows the lengths the bosses will go
to batter down their standard of liv-
ing, sharpening the attacks against
the workers, and by every means at
tempt to avoid paying unemployment
insurance-unless forced to by the
mighty power of a militant working
class, under revolutionary leadership.
