men to go back to work.
The strikers modified a motor
caravan Of about 100 autos and

District Committee member Of the
NMU. and veteran organizer anc
fighter of the miners, spoke instead
of Pacifico. exposing the takers o.

A bath should be a luxury. in the
opinion Of beauty specialists all over

For this reason beauty experts

Fort Washington's history reaches

colonists and by the Indians. The

George Washington personally Sc

after a canoe trip along the river. He
obtained land for the post from his
friend and acroSs-the-river neighbor
Thomas Digges, and the fort was named
Warburton, after the Digges estate
known as Warburton Manor.
During the Civil War Fort Washing
ton was garrisoned by 40 Marines, under
command of Capt. A. s. Taylor.
The fort was reconstructed in 1895
with three new-type disappearing guns
replacing the old smooth-bore cannon
These guns, of 10-inch bore, were fired
for the last time when Lindbergh came
up the Potomac from his triumphant
flight to Paris. They were dismantled
few months later and sent to Aber-

MAN LEADS BANDIT
IN RACE TO ARREST
Clerk Runs to Police, TraiIed
by Ex-SaiIor Who Tried
HoId-up. Minus Gun.

An attempt to hold up the Western
Union Telegraph Co. Office at 7oS Four
teenth street was foiled last night by
the loan clerk on duty, who raced from
the Office ahead of the would-be bandit
and virtually piloted him into the arms
of a trafic officer at Fourteenth and @
streets.
The policeman, Private r. e. Cross,
Of the Trafac Bureau, saw the two men
coming on G. street almost abreast
of each other. He ran to intercept
them and, seeing that one held his
right hand in a coat pocket in a
threatening attitude, waved his own
pistol.
The man arrested was John L. Ship
ley. alias Simmons, 81 years old, OF the
1900 block of Ridge place southeast,
who later admitted, police say, ne
planned the hold-up because he had
no job and no prospects OF securing
one. Shipley was booked at No. 1 pre-
cinct and Is being held for further in
vestigation.
+ Trips Burglar Alarm.
The clerk, Roy A. Barnes Of 1909
Office when the intruder came in shortly
before 10 o'clock. ordering:
"Open up that safe and let's have
the money!"
Barnes, tripping a burglar alarm un-
derfoot, replied he did not have access
to the safe, but indicated the cash
drawer, which contained about $40.
AS the man moved toward the
drawer, Barnes darted past. The other
wheeled and slugged the clerk behind
the ear with his fist, just before Barnes
ran to the street In search Of police.
Bandit Sprints Alongside.
Barnes and the intruder reached the
street almost together and the latter.
perhaps from confusion, sprinted off
alongside the clerk, who was calling
for police.
Shipley, the police reported, first gave
his residence as Kansas City. Investi-
CATION revealed, however, he had lived
in Washington since he was discharged
from the Navy in February.
Barnes said the man menaced him
with what was apparently a weapon
held in his right hand and kept con-
cealed in a coat pocket
Police found a roll Of paper and
cardboard in Shipley'S right coat
pocket, which, they say, the prisoner
admitted he had used In an attempt to
intimidate the clerk.
Detectives planned to question Ship
ley at headquarters today to see If he
might be connected with recent rob-
berries here.
