RADIO PIRATES
WARPED UPON

An effective war against radio
pirates" and criminals who use
the ether to transmit unlicensed
messages and broadcasts is
being conducted by the DECIDING
bureau or BLACK chamber" III
the radio division of the Depart,
ment of Commerce.
The growth in use of unlicensed
radio communication by crime
syndicates has endangered the
effectiveness of licensed short
wave stations, amateur radio oper-
ators, police net works, and has
interfered with the great broad
casting chains.
According to w. D. Terrell, di.
rector of the radio division, vice
rings making use of radio com
munication are principally inter.
eSted in smuggling of either
liquor, aliens or narcotics. Mes,
sages transmitted between points
of operation of these gangs are
usually sent in complicated codes
and on this account the "black
chamber" fashioned after the
war time agency, was inaugurated
as a means to track down the
radio bOotleggers,

HOTEL SITE BUS
TERMINAL SEEN
DIR. BEDELL

Indications are that the sale of
the Annapolis Hotel, for which
negotiations with out-of-town in
terests are now under way, may
mean the establishment of cen
trail bus terminal there.
The building will continue to
be operated as a hotel in any
event. it is authoritatively stated.
But its location is such that it
is not only convenient for a bus
terminal, but almost the only
suitable site near the congested
section that would not require a
rather extensive program of con-
Struction.
At present, it is understood,
much of the patronage of the
hotel is derived from travellers
using bus lines.
The deal for the property is
not expected to be completed for
two weeks, at least. The title is
at present in the Washington
Annapolis Hotel Company, which
obtained the property by auction
sale on March 81.
The Annapolis Hotel was built
by the Wardman Construction
Company, Inc, in 1924, at an
estimated cost of $1,750,OOO. The
present assessed valuation is
$1,454.488, of which $594,486 is
on the land.

DRY CAUSE UP

Congress, Says Prohibition
Champion, Has Power to
LegaIize 3 Pct. Beer

BALTIMORE April 27.
Congress not only has the
power to pass 3 per cent beer
act, but this, eff passed and
upheld, would for all practical
purposes means the end of ma
tional prohibition, in the
opinion of William H. Ander-
son, dry.
The former head of the Mary
land, and later the New York
State Anti-Saloon League ad-
mitted beer is getting nearer,
adding:
Il havu become convinced
that there is no possible hope
of preventing the temporary
loss of complete national pro-
hibitiOn unless the dry leader
ship frankly tells the. dry con-
stituency that the dry cause is
desperately up against it."
Anderson, who is now head of
the American Protestant Alliance,
says he is considering moving the
Alliance headquarters from New
York to Washington.
He still claims he was framed
by Tammany in his conviction of
receiving $4,000 from a John
T. King of Baltimore. He served
nine months in Sing Sing in 1924
for third-degree forgery.
He is still firm believer in
prohibition, but adds:
Il am convinced that we will
have at least temporary re-
turn of legalized beer, possibly
before long, unless the dry
forces can get together quickly
upon something that will rescue
them from the defensive, by
putting across something vital
enough to lift them out of their
defeatist psychology"

lishment on Bladensburg Road
near the District Line, be kept
permanently closed was contained
in the Prince Georges county
grand jury report at Upper Marl

. Rumors current in local gamb-
ling circles are to the effect that
"Jimmy's Place" will be opened
early in May.
LaFontaine was recently re-
leased from the Jail at Ellicott
City, Md, where he spent a brief

ARABIA IS LAST.
UNKNOWN SPOT

The discovery of ancient ruined
cities in the great Rub al Khali
Desert of Southern Arabia, barely
q year after the first crossing of
the sandy waste by a European,
marks it out as one of the richest
areas for geographic and archeo-
logic exploration now left in the
world, according to the National
Geographic Society in Washing
ton.
The latest discoveries we're
made by H. st. John Philby, an
EngliShman, who completed a
roundabout journey of nearly 300
miles by camel from the Persian
Gulf on the east to Sulaiyll and
Mecca on the west.
One of the city sites is believed
to be that Of Magan, an ancient
capital whose name is found in
Babylonian Inscriptions.
The other ruined city is Ubar,
which, according to legends, was
destroyed by shifting sands.

DUNCAN CLAIMS
PREJUDICE BY
GRAND JUROR
Lyman H. Kelley Disqualified
to Serve, Counsel for
Defense Argues

After more than three
weeks seclusion, during which
time officers had difficulty in
serving him with papers in
connection with Arlington
county's 100000 shortage,
William II. Duncan, former
county clerk, appeared in cir
cult court today and filed a
motion to quash his indict-
ment on charges that he mis-
appropriated public funds.
Time To Answer
At the request of Common
wealth Attorney Lawrence Doug
las, a continuance of Duncan's
arraignment until May 6 was
granted by Judge Walter T. Nc
Carthy, to give Douglas time to
answer the motion.
Defense counsel attacked Dun
cans indictment principally on
the grounds that Lyman H. Key
ley, member of the grand
Jury, was disqualified because he
was a county officer and an
agent for the surety company
which bonded the former clerk.
1t also charged that Kelley
was prejudiced and had expressed
an opinion adversely to Duncan.
Cited by Defense
Other reasons cited were that
Kelley was one of the instigators
of the proceedings resulting in
the Indictment and one of the
prosecutors of Duncan; that
members of the grand jury were
not residents of the State of
Virginia, and that the judge
erred in instructing the jury
that nine of their number must
concur in returning the indict-
ment.

LOCAL ELEVENS
PLAY FINE BALL

The Marions, unlimited cham
pions of the Independent Football
League, are in excellent shape for
their battle with the MohawkS
Sunday afternoon in Griffith Sta
dium for the District champion
ship.
Yesterday the Marions easily
disposed of the Seaman Gunners,
18 to 0. Licarione and Hoff
scored the touchdowns for the
winners. The Marion's victory
was somewhat costly as they lost
the service of Dutch Giering,
plunging fullback, who got out
of bed to participate in yester-
days contest. He played only a
short time before he had to be
removed to Providence Hospital
suffering from seVereal broken
ribs.
Mercurys played great football
to defeat the Maryland A. c., 6
to 0. "Tuck" DalgliSh made the
touchdown when he skirted 20
yards around right end. The
ball was placed on the 2O-yard
line by the medium of 35-yard
pass by Jake Lewis to Moncure.
Longest and St. Stephens bat
tied to 13 to 13 tie in an effort
to decide the 135-pound cham
pionship of the Independent
League. The teams will probably
battle again for the title.
The Saints scored six points
in the first period ad seven
markers in the second quarter
while the opponents added their
total in the last two periods.
The game was hard fought
throughout.
The little Apaches played fine
ball to down the N. E. Boys Club

Sasse Through

Navy Game
BY QUENTIN REYNOLDS

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-The
Army-Navy game next Saturday
will mark the close of the East
ern football season, but it will
also ring down the curtain on
! the gridiron careers of three gal
liant officers who will be trans
ferred to other fields of activity
il mediately.
Majo, Ralph SasSe, Army
coach; Major Phillip Fleming,
director of athletics, and Capt.
Walter Wells, in charge of pub
licity. all wind up their West
Point careers. SaSse, who is a
cavalry officer, is to go to the
War College. Fleming, an engi-
neer, is to be transferred to the
banks of the Mississippi, where
he will utilize his talents in fight
ing floods, and Wells is to be
stationed at Fort Leavenworth.
Sasse, despite the Notre Dame
debacle on Saturday, has made
a real reputation for himself dur
ing the years he coached the
Army team. Under him West
Point attained a degree Of eff.
cheney it had never before at
tained and under him foce0all
at West Point was more than a
game-it was an exercise in tao
tics and strategy which must
have been Of immense benefit to
the cadets who participated.
Asked whether or not there was
any chance that he might at some
later date again assume charge of
football at West Point, Sasse re-
piled in the negative.
I'm through with football.
1t was a delightful experience,
but after all I'm an Army off
Ger. When fall comes around
I'll miss the smell of the pig
skin-but then during the past
few years I've missed some
thing, too.
So the likable, smiling major
passes from the West Point grid

taken by one Of his pupils, Lieut..

F ATERS TIE
MOHAWKS

A small but enthusiastic crowd
braved the intense cold yesterday
afternoon in Griffith Stadium to
witness the youngsters from
across the Potomac representing
the Alexandria Fraters surprise
by holding the huge Mohawk out
fit to a scoreleSs tie.
The F'raters knocked at the
Hawks goal line no less than
five times during the game. In
the second period the Alex.
andrians had the oval on the
Hawks 3-yard line but didn't
have sufficient stamina to push
it over. Then again in the third
quarter the Fraters pushed the
ball to Hawks half-yard line only
to lose the ball on a grounded
pass over the goal.
The Fraters gained most OF
their yardageS through the me-
dunn of the air. Les McMena,;
min to Bob Anger was the passing
combination. McMenamin shot
the oval like it was a baseball,
good and accurate. Macs kicking
at times was marvellous. He got
off several 55-yard spirals.
With "Pepco" Barry and Dick
Allen doing most of the ball
carrying the Hawks outrushed
the Fraters from the scrimmage
10 to 1. Allen and Barry broke
through the Virginians line many
times for long gains but we're
stopped at opportune moments.

Light Practice Ordered for Many Gridder.
HOPES MOUNT
FOR VICTORY
OVERARMY

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 2S.-The
Navy team will spend the early
part of this week in light practice
designed to perfect the attack
which will be used against Army
at Philadelphia Saturday, as to
both running and passing plays.
Scrimmaging has been over
since last week, and the objective
Of the coaches and training staff
has been to get every member Of
the squad in physical shape. This
they believe, has been practically
accomplished, hung-Hoon, star
back, and one or two others, who
needed some rest, having resumed
their normal condition.
If the Navy plays a steady
offensive game and delivers its
attack continuously, naval folk
feel that almost anything can
happen and that victory is not
impossible.
Army More Experienced
The greater experience Of the
Army players is admitted, though
it is thought to be less than in
most recent years. In the matter
of weight and physique, there is
very little difference. The aver
age weight of the Navy team is
lit Ali pounds, and the Army's
is slightly higher.
The Army'S slight superiority
in weight is all behind the line,
where it averages 1872 pounds
to the Navy's 16412. The Navy
has some advantage in the line.
nearly pound and a half per
man, in fact, 184 81 pounds to
1873 II.
Strength Distributed
Among the Navy linemen, Muir
ray, left end; Brooks and Kane,
tackles, and Harbold, center, are
believed to be fully equal to their
opponents, with Harbold probably
having an edge. Captain Reedy,
Navy, is not so snowy as Captain
Summerfelt, Army guard.
In the backfield, the Navy has
no runner as spectacular as
Vidal, but with Slack, Chung
Hoon, Berries and Campbell, and
plenty of reserve backs, is believed
to have just as much strength
behind the line.
