.SANATORIUM WORK
TO BE PUT FORWARD
Commissioners Advise Capper of
Efforts for Construction of
Children's Institution.

The District Commissioners today ad-
vised Chairman Capper of the Senate
District Committee that they will use
every means, compatible with careful
planning and the necessity of limiting
COST" to bring about the early con-
struction of the Children's tuberculosis
Sanatorium. Their letter was in reply
to Senator Capper's request to know
whether there has been any unneces-
sary delay in beginning the project.
The city heads outlined all steps that
have been taken since 1929 IN the plan
ming of the proposed institution, saying
that it is desirable to review these de-
velopments "in order that the difficulty
attending this project may be appre-
ciated."

S. Copeland of New York, who pre-
sided. said:
The question of intoxication has no
bearing, although I do not think Sisk
was intoxicated I don't want these
remarks to be construed as any reflec-
ton on the inferno at Emergency. 1t
was too bad Sisk couldn't have been
put to bed at Emergency, but they
didn't have the facilities. Sisk would
have died even If he had had the
treatment and been under the care of
the worlds most noted physicians and
surgeons, for his injuries were Of too
serious a nature.
Il think Dr. Schwartzbach did all
that could be expected and think the
public may be assured nothing hap
pened which could have been pre-
vented"

With two doctors in attendance, Ngi,
the six-year gorilla at the Zoo, is
suffering from a serious attack of
grip and bronchitis.
He is being treated with ultra violet
rays and an electric stove has been
placed in his cage on which kettle is
kept boiling most of the time to pro-
duce the proper atmospheric conditions.
DR.. N. E. Buckingham, veterinarian,
and DR.. John c. Eckhardt. child special
ist are prescribing for the little anthro-
poid. N'gi, according to William H.
Blackburn, head keeper, began ailing
about the first of February and for a
few days grew steadily worse but now
appears to be slightly improved. For a
few days he would eat nothing, but now
seems to be regaining his appetite.
This is the second, and by far the
most serious, illness Ngi has known
since he came to Washington. Admit
tedly the finest specimen of gorilla in
captivity, N'gi has been given practi-
cally the same care as would have been
accorded human infant since he came
to the Zoo. In the past it has been
practically impossible to keep gorillas
in captivity. largely because of their
susceptibility to bronchial and lung
infections. For most OF the time. now
ever. N'gi has enjoyed almost perfect
health and has increased in weight
rapidly When his nose starts running
it is occasion for serious alarm.
N'gi's first illness, which also started
with cold, was during the first Sum-
mer after he came to Washington. but
careful medical attention and nursing
pulled him through and he began to
thrive in the Summer sunshine. His
present illness ordinarily would not be
considered serious, either tn an animal
or a human, but with gorilla it is
different and is causing serious alarm
at the Zoo The big apes apparently
have very little resistance against
colds.
Every effort is being made. Mr..
Blackburn said, to keep N'gi undis-
turbed and as much in seclusion as
possible.

~ EEP in the recesses of the Capt.
tol, hidden from public view by
high wooden palings, an old
- Frenchman labors on half
forgotten work, once the talk
Of Washington. and. indeed, of the
Nation He is 79-year- Emile Garet
and he chisels away, day after day, on
the model for the proposed extension OF
the east front of the Capitol, a project
we'll over 80 years old.
Once NJ Garet was famous, too His
modelling was known both here and
abroad and he was said to be the finest
plaster modeler in the United States.
He is responsible for the models Of the
printing Office and The Star Building
in Washington. made to facilitate con-
struction. and for the Post Once Build
ing in Chicago.
Typical in Appearance.
His appearance jibes with the popular
notion of what artists should look like.
He works in the Capitol attired in cor
duroy trousers, blue shirt and a
French beret. His hair is snow white
and his blue eyes a little dim with age,
although they're sharp enough to exc
cute the most minute details on his
model. Although he has been in this
country for so years. he never has mas
tered the language and still speaks
French whenever possible. Perhaps this
explains his overwhelming shyness,
which almost vanquishes his justifiable
pride in his handiwork. He is looking
forward to celebrating his golden we'd
ding anniversary with his little Partisan
wife in two years time.
His first plaster model Of the Capitol
(the first ever constructed) was made
29 years ago and now holds the record
of having covered more mileage than
any other such work. For long it stood
in the rotunda of the Capitol Building
in 1904 it was sent to the St Louis
Exposition-it graced the Sesquicenten-
nial exhibits in Philadelphia has
visited San Diego and San Francisco
three years ago it was shipped to the
Seville Exposition-and now there is
talk of its going to the Worlds Fair in
Chicago next year.

TIRES SLASHED ON AUTOS
BELONGING TO POLICEMEN
20 Third Precinct officers and
Residents Are Victims of
Revenge Seeker.

Detectives, armed with the Finger
prints" from a culprit's pocket knife,
today were sleuthing away busily on the
great fiat tire mystery" which let the
air out of the automobile tires and
ruined the dispositions Of several third
precinct policemen this morning.
Approximately 20 cars, most OF which
belonged to patrolmen attached to the
precinct, were found with their tires in
a sad state of collapse today. The rub
ber had been pierced by brutal knife
thrusts.
The phantom deflater was believed to
be tall or short, with light hair inclined
to be black and did or did not wear
goggles.
Revenge was believed to be the motive
for the crimes.

struck him The case was thrown out
when Rowe failed to appear in court

|NTERNE CLEARED
IN SENATE PROBE
Another, in Sisk Case, to
Face Emergency Hos
pitaI Board.

A Senate subcommittee yesterday re-
ferred the case of one Emergency Hos
pital interne to the authorities Of that
institution for action and decided that
a second interene had not been guilty
OF negligence in the treatment OF pa
tient who subsequently died.
Dr. Charles Bastable, who admitted
he had returned to the hospital without
treating a patient when the latter COM
planned of the ambulances tardy ar
rival, was excused with mild lecture
when Dr. James D. Mitchell said dis
ciplinary action already had been taken
by the hospital,
Samuel Podell eOe Decatur street

Bastable.
DR.. Saul Schwartzbach. the other in
terne to appear before the committee
admitted that treatment for intoxica-
ton and possible fractured vertebrae
was given by him to Joseph Sisk, Bal
timore newspaper man, who died -four
days later in Gallinger Hospital, where
his injuries were diagnosed as two frac-
tured ribs, punctured lung, ruptured
diaphragm and fractured pelvis.
Sisk Case Explained.
Sisk was taken to Emergency Hos
pital by police on the night of January
80 after an automobile accident in
Maryland. DR.. Schwartzbach examined
the man and pronounced him intoxi-
Gated and suffering from a possible
fractured vertebrae. Had he been
convinced the mans back was broken

Sisk at the hospital or called in an
other physician. AS it was, however

gency and before reaching Gallinger

siderable blood from the mouth, ac-

said, IT didn't think he would live
through the night. His pulse was 16C
and his color was bad. There were
evidences of a fractured pelvis and g
punctured lung" He also said there
was no evidence Sisk was intoxicated.
DR.. Schwartzbach said Sisk's pulse
was Sc at Emergency and that he saw
no evidence of a broken pelvis or lung
puncture, although he examined the
patient thoroughly.

with it. And it is with a certain salts
faction that he recountS the failure of
Congress to appropriate funds for him
to make the Seville trip and the fact
that the repairs to the dome cost more
than his trip would have done.
As to his unfinished model for the
extension of the Capitol, 1t follows
what is known to Capitol architects
as Plan A. which has been approved
by point commission of the Senate
and House. As is generally known,
the dome of the present structure is
not in the center Of the building. When
and if the extension is finally made. the
general appearance Of the building will
remain the same. except that the cen
trail portico will appear broader and
its central location.
139 Years Of Building.
The process of building the Capitol
has gone on for 139 years. On Septem-
Der 18, 1893, George Washington laid
the corner stone of the "old Capitol" :"
which was not completed for 81 years.
The construction suffered a setback
during the War of 1912 when, on
burned by British soldiers. The first
corner stone was laid at the commence
ment of the building of the Supreme
Court section; the second corner stone,
that of the central building. was laid
in 1918: the third corner stone Of the
extension of the building was laid in
1851. In 1851 the second corner stone
was laid, that of the greater Capitol" p"
Its architect was Thomas U. Walter,
chosen for the work because of his sue
cess with the edifice of Girard College
in Philadelphia. His assistant, Edward
Clark. succeeded him in 1865 and upon
his death in 1902. Elliott Woods came
into the Office. 1t was under Woods
that M. Garet started his work, now
near completion under the present in
cumbent, David Lynn.
Whereas it took M. Garet only nine
months to complete his first model. lack
of funds. assistants and the vitality
of youth has dragged his present work
out to matter of years. More than
that. his first extension model was de-
stroyed by fire two years ago. The new
one is as minute in every detail as Is
the original model of the Capitol which
is so perfect that even the e Pluribus
Unum" under the statue of the Goddess
of Liberty can be read with ease.

which three young golfers started out
on the path to fame and fortune, were
opened to 1872 players today.
The Los Angeles open was maugu-

an-Harry Cooper-who came unsung
to win the championship. For the next
three years Bobby Cruickshank and the
plodding Scot, Macdonald Smith,
dominated first place, with Smith Win
ming In 1923 and 1929.
Then came youngster from Ohio,
Denny Shute, to mud his way to VIC
tory in 1880. The third OF the young
newcomers Ed Dudley Of Wilmington,
Del, rose to the heights last Winter,
to capture his first big money shot.
ALI three continued on to added
glory and gold. Youth is represented
in the current three-day 72-hole cham
pionship over the Hillcrest course by
Ray Mangrum, former Texan, who has
been finishing close to the top this
Winter; Ralph Guldahl of Detroit, and
