INJECTIONS
FOR PAY
Out Of Work 5 Months, Stud
ent Would Serve Humanity
by Undergoing Experiments

A young Washingtonian, uni.
versity graduate, public utility
junior executive, today offered
to place himself on the ALTAR of
science" for medical research, as
. means Of obtaining gainful
employment which for five
months has been denied him.
He is Layton H. Berkeley, ma
tive Of North Carolina, but for
some years resident Of the Cap
ttal. He is open to offers from
medical schools, hospitals, or re-
search institutions, for purposes
Of experimentation with anti
toxins, etc.
JObless Five Months
He said today:
II have been out of work for
five months, and have resolved
that the best thing for me to
do Is to offer myself for medical
research. II anybody wants q
subject upon which to try out
new means of fighting disease
or Of improving the science Of
medicine, he can have me"
Young Berkeley is not despond'
ent over his five months fight
to obtain work, but he has deter
mined that the best and most
public-spirited thing he can do
in his present siege of idleness is
to offer himself to the medical
profession for whatever expert
mentation it requires.
Times Is Medium
He is Is years of age, is a stall
wart and well set-up young man,
with many relatives in the Capt.
tai. He is a graduate of the Uni
verSity Of North Carolina and is
regarded as an expert in his own
line. He desires to communicate
with medical organizations and
ho"pitalS through the city editor

WATER HEARING
NEARS CLOSE

ALEXANDRIA, Va, March 26.
The city today started its fight
against the rate increase asked
by the Alexandria Water Com
pany before the State Corpora
ton Commission in Richmond.
Fire Chief James M. Duncan, jr.,
was one of the chief defense
witnesses. He has inspected the
pressure at all the fire hydrants
in the city and testified as to the
low pressure.
City Treasurer Roger Sullivan
testified as to the valuation
placed on the Water Company's
property for taxation purposes
showing it great deal less than
the company has alleged in their
petition for the increase.
The hearing probably will be
concluded tomorrow.
The company yesterday agreed
to install water meters where re-
quested. This has been sought
by the citizens for more than
ten years.

l.. E. Arnold Admits
Fairfax Trash Fire

FALLS CHURCH, Va, March
26.-L. E. Arnold, Of Falls
Church, pleaded guilty yesterday
to a charge Of setting fire to
trash in his yard and permitting
it to get beyond his control. The
complaint was filed by the local
volunteer fire department.
Officials of the fire department
explained action was taken be-
cause of the large number CT
brush fires which have occurred
lately through carelessness. The
department is purely voluntary
and depends upon contributions
for it's maintenance. Increased
fire alarms are proving a heavy
drain upon the treasury Of the
department.

JAIL
TRIP BRINGS
COMPLAINTS
Housing of ReVeIers in Cells
With Crooks Stirs Parents;
State Probes wild Parties

AS Maryland and District au-
thorities continue to probe activi-
ties of high school students, said
to have participated in many
wild revels" at house in Chew
erly Manor, Md, in recent
months, parents of the students
are preparing to move in another
direction.
Following the arrest of three
girls and four boys in raid
staged Tuesday at the home Of
Michael Sullivan, and the Subse-
uuent incarceration Of the boys in
the Bladensburg Jail, parents are
again agitating the question OF
replacing "Maryland's black hole"
Judge Morris Raped
The action of Judge Retta d.
Morris of HyattsvilIe in placing
the boys i'm the jail at q time
when there were two negroes and
several disreputable white men
in the crowded little one-rOOm
"piII box" came in for the
censure Of many residents of the
community.
With one exception they de-
clared all Of the boys come from
respected families in the COM
munity and none but the one
boy had ever been in any trouble
in the community.
The parents last night ex-
pressed their Indignation at the
action of the judge, declaring
that they could easily have been
notified of the arrest and would
have been on hand to vouch for
their sons.
Asks It's Demolition
The parents declared that they
intend to take the matter of
tearing the place down up with
State Senators and if necessary
will appeal to the governor to
remedy the condition.
The party on Tuesday was a
harmless one, parents contend,
and the children were merely
dancing to radio music.
Stories in Conflict
Neighbors, however, had a diff
ferent story to tell of the many
alleged whOOpee parties which
were staged at the house at all
hours Of the day and night.
It is this phase Of the case
together with the report that
many Washington High School
boys and girls have visited the
house in the past that led to the
continuance of the case against
the students yesterday.
Bowie Holds Up Case
States Attorney Alan Bowie,
who is investigating :he affair,
declined to make any statement.
Yesterday, he requested local &C
tiOn be held up until his office
could determine the extent to
which the revels had been carried.
He has been Informed by Judge
Morris that they may be far
reaching and result in startling
developments before the probe is
ended. Certain information given
Judge Morris indicated that many
"scandalOus carvings on" had
taken place recently in the
Cheverly house.

Harper Picks Five n. ID. Stars on
All-Western; Moss Gets End Job

Williamson of Michigan and Rob-
inson of Minnesota also were out
standing, but almost equalled by
Brilley of Drake and Cronkite of
Kansas Aggies.
Cramer of Ohio State, although
sophomore, was the spark for his
team. His great running and gen.
eralship earned him the quarter
back berth over Weller of Haskell
and SomerS of Minnesota.
Schwartz of Notre Dame and
Rentner of Northwestern are the
best half backs in the country, and
their ability and deeds are well
known. They do everything a star
back should do, and do it we'll
Hewitt of Michigan is a great
all around player, but reached star
dom at full back. Manders, Min
nesota's plunger, is not far behind
with Eliowitz of Michigan State a
close third. Sisk of Marquette
Saurer of Nebraska, Monnett OF
Michigan State, and Risk of Purdue
are other half back stars.

quarter backs. and a limited num-
Der of good full backs.
Yarr, Notre Dame center, gets the
pivot job. He was steady paSser,
effective in opening holes on Of
Tense and his defensive work against
n eses and the rest was f1awless.
Miller of Purdue and Morrison of
Michigan are other good centerS.
Hoffman, Notre Danes husky
guard, is entitled to a place among
the great guards of history. Mum
was the individual star of fine
Minnesota team. He was star at
running interference, carrying the
ball, passing and kicking. Zeller of
Indiana and Horwitz, Chicago, were
outstanding players with their
teams. Kabat of Wisconsin and
Evans of Northwestern were great
at times, but not consistent and
often slumped to mediocrity.
Riley was the outstanding player
on the fine Northwestern line and
has the speed, size and experience
OF a great tackle. Krause, Notre
Danes sophomore, can do every
thing a great tackle should do.
Kurth of Notre Dame was a
steady, effective player, dependable
but with no especial claim to great
ness. Marvil, Northwestern giant,
was fine leader and ranked close
to Riley Bell of Ohio State and
Smith of Wisconsin also starred.
Moss was the cream of the mid
west wing crop. He was a fine pass
receiver, good blocker, got down the
field fast and can punt. Kosky of
Notre Dame, not a spectacular play
er, was the best hand at boxing a
tackle I have seen in a long time,
and is stellar end.

The Indians don't care to part
with Goldman. Nashville of the
Southern Association made a cash
offer for Frank Sigafoos, Tribe Sec
ond sacker, but the price was only
about half the sum the Indians
think he is worth. Anyway, the
Tribe bosses became suspicious and
decided Nashville was acting for
Minneapolis.
May Keep SigafoOs
Manager Emmett Mccain desires
to replace Sigafoos, but is in no
hurry about it, and will keep Frank
if the team will not be bettered by
his transfer. Sigafoos proved 20 be
a timely hitter this year, but was
short of speed in the field.
The Indians still have thirty
three players on their roster, max
ing only one sale of surplus talent
during the West Baden powwow,
Henry Bonura being turned over to
Dallas. Offers were made for others,
but very little cash was flushed. The
heavy hand of the depression has
drained the finances of many minor
clubs.

mored that the Chicago White Soz

be the standouts as buyers when
