ASKED At CAPITOL
Added Amount Supported for
Acquiring Land in Marked
Area.

Plans for extension Of the Capitol
Grounds westward into the area north
of Pennsylvania avenue were given
impetus yesterday when it was learned
the commission in charge of the project
has decided to recommend to Con-
to complete the acquisition of the land
A condemnation jury recently re-
ported awards amounting to $2,233,-
49577 for property in the area to be
included in the improvement, but the
amount which remains to be appropri-
ated by Congress is only about $243, 900.
Awards Accepted.
The Commission on Enlargement OF
the Capitol Grounds, of which Vice
President Curtis Is chairman, voted
to 3 to accept the awards and to
recommend the appropriation OF the
balance needed to make possible the
acquisition. Congress will have to ap-
propriate this additional amount In
order to complete the undertaking.
The plans in the office CT David Lynn,
architect CT the Capitol, for completion
taking in all the north side of Penn
svIyania avenue between First and Third
streets and back to Constitution ave-
nue.. The area remaining to be ac-
ouired also includes a part of the square
in which the old Census Building Is
located and some of the property east
These acquisitions, If carried out at
this time, will round out the program
for extension of the Capitol Grounds,
begun many years ago, delayed for a
long time by the World War, and &C
tuaily begun under legislation enacted
a few years ago.
First Part Completed.
Within the last year the section OF
the project lying between Union Sta
tion and the Capitol has been finished.
II has been laid off into lawns, with a

sition of the remaining land on the
west side of the Capitol will clear the
Way for the completion OF this avenue
to meet Pennsylvania avenue at q pont
between Second and Third streets.
The additional land ACQUISITIONS also
will make possible completion OF the

TO FORCE
PREMIER OUT

LONDON. May 2 Q.NS0-
Official circles are more than
perturbed over persistent reports
that Prime Minister j. Ramsay
Macdonald is likely to resign in
the near. future to save his eye
sight.
Although his recent operation
alleviated the glaucomic condi-
ton gradual failure Of sight) in
his left eye 1t is understood the
disease has spread to the right
eye 10 such q degree that another
operation Is impending.
This was indicated today when
Sir Thomas Horder and william
Dukeelder, the premier's physi-
clans, announced after a two-hour
examination that his general
health Is excellent" but stressed
the necessity for a three-hour
daily rest period.
1t was learned from reliable
authority that the specialists are
dubious concerning the efficacy
OF another operation unless the

routine and lets up in his official

PRIMARY.
CRUCIAL FOR
ROOSEVELT

Democrats of all persuasions are
looking to California to furnish
additional light on the hot scran1.
BILE for the Presidential nomina'
ton.
In California tomorrow the rival
candidates. Of Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt. Alfred E. Smith and
Speaker John N. Garner meet
r .ad on in one Of the most i'm
portant primary elections Of the
year.
A Roosevelt victory would off
set the reverses which he suffered
in Massachusetts, and PennSylva-
MIA last week and restore some Of
the confidence which his neuten.
ants have lost In the East.
Should Smith Win
Should Smith win. 1t will serve
as q tremendous spur to the whole
''Stop Roosevelt" movement. which
unquestionably has been gaining
momentum since the MaSSachL-
sets and Pennsylvania primaries
last Tuesday.
Put California in the Smith col.
umn and it becomes certain that
the former governor Of New York
viii go to Chicago with a forn1id-
ah.. bloc Of delegates to back UP

A victory for Garner will give
the gray-haired Texan the first
tangible support outside Texas
It would lift him from the favor
1te son class and make him at
once a national candidate in the
trueSt sense of the word.
Regarded AS Crucial"
In some degree, the outcome in
California tomorrow is regarded
as crucial" as were the tests in
Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania
last week.
While Roosevelt is far in the
lead Of other candidates in dele
gates pledged, instructed and IA
vorable to his cause, the fact re
mains that the New York gov,
ernor has yet to win a large dele
cation. His own New York, the
largest delegation in the conven-
ton with 81 votes. is uncertain.
Smith may have a majority Of
the New York contingent in Chi.

Pennsylvania. the second larg.
est delegation. with rs votes, is
split between Roosevelt and
Smith. Illinois SO votes are
pledged to Senator Lewis, Ohlo's

0.NSJ.-National political in
terest was focused on California
today, as the greatest army Of
registered voters in the States
history, prepared to ballot at
the presidential primary and
referendum election tomorrow.
With President Hoover unop-
posed in his home state, the ma
ton centered its interest on the
three-cornered Democratic con-
test among delegates backing
John N. Garner. Speaker of the
House of Representatives; Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt Of New

Southern California, with its
predominating voting strength,

Garner forces were confident
Of victory in this Southern Demo
cratic stronghold. Roosevelt's
power was reported in Northern
California, with Smith expected
to show only fair strength in
extreme northern counties and

undsputed lead in the pennant chase and the highly touted Giants
groannng IN the cellar. Between them, everything is topSy-turvy.
Don Hurst, husky first sacker, surprised his Phiny teammates and

screw-ban delivery Of the formidable Carl Hubben. Less than two hours
before he had remarked to reporters that southpaws like Hubben ARE
keeping me from getting anywhere in BASEBALL"
NV York had the tying run on second in the ninth, but was unable
to push it across Ed Holly replaced Jumbo Elliott on the Phly mound in
the seventh, and Grabowski fonwed in the eighth. Hubben and Mooney

excellent ball, particularly Cuccineno and Sripp, former Red infelders.
Lefty Clark allowed Boston eight hits. while Zachary and Farmhouse

Reds Protest
Cub Defeat

By United Press
CINCINNATI, April 16.-A pro-
test of Fridays 8-to-2 defeat of the
Reds by Chicago's Cubs was on file
with President John Heydler of the
National League today. The Gin
cinnati club claimed an incorrect
decision was made by Umpire
Charles Donnelly.
John Ogden, Cincy pitcher,
walked in the fifth inning. Douthit
flied to Stephenson in left. Ogden
saw Stephenson drop the ball as
he fell in attempting the catch
and he raced to second. But UNI
pire Donnelly thought Stephenson
had caught the ball and Signaled
Douthit out. Ogden raced back to
first, which was occupied by Douthit,
and when he started back to Sec
ond, was tagged out. Donnelly
finally admitted Stephenson did not
catch the ball, ruling Douthit safe
and Ogden out. The protest says
Ogden was off his base because Of
the incorrect signal by Donnelly. A
long argument delayed the game
several minutes.

Indian Notes

THE Indians got tangled up on
l. the bases in the fifth and the
rally was cut short. With one down
and Purdy on third and Hale on
second, Walker bounced to Sticking
and Purdy was erased on a runown
play, Sticking to Griffin to Camel.
Walker kept running only to find
Hale ASKING back to second, and
Walker was doubled up, Camel to
Sticking.
Harry Rosenberg had tough going at the
plate. He hit into double plays twice.
He played a fine game in the OutfieId and
barely missed doubling up Rice in the Sec
Ond round on a great throw to McCann
after taking Cancels fly. Many fans
thought ROsie's throw beat the runner to
the bag.
JONAH GOLDMAN for the Indi-
y ans and Joe Hauser for the Mil
lers finally emerged from batting
slumpS and were in happy mood.
They had gone hitless in the three
previous tits and then delivered
two safeties each Friday.

Eddie Sticking. Miller second sacker. had
a busy day and there was no unemplOy-
ment problem for him. He accepted twelve
chances. seven assists and five putOuts.
Minneapolis executed four double plays and
Eddie participated in each. The Tribe
relied off two twO-pIy killings.
EANAGER RUSH used a. ninch
1V1 runner and pinch hitter in the
eighth. Smith, first up, famed,
and Griffin doubled. Wright took
Griffin's place on the paths. Haul
ser, with a walk and two hits for
the day, struck out before Heving's
