PROBLEM new to police was
presented to the department
this afternoon when Mrs. J. J..
Gall. 1882 Fairmont street,

PHO6LEM new 10 ponce was
n presented to the department
IA this afternoon when Mrs. J. j.
Il y Gall, 1892 Fairmont street,
asked them to do something
about q swarm of thousands Of bees that
gathered about the front of her house
and kept the Gall family out. So the
police turned the matter over to the
Fire Department.
Mrs. Gall was attracted outside the
front of her house by buzzing shortly
before noon. She dashed through hun
dreds of swarming bees to the sidewalk
in front. The door slammed behind her
and she was unable to get back. The
bees were lighting on pipe that ran
up the side Of the house.
Then a couple of veteran beekeepers
who live on either side Of the Calls
J. C. Snyder and r. H. Stuart, came
to the assistance Of their neighbor
They tried for half an hour to lure
the queen Of the pack into a bread box
but without success. Snyder went to
q balcony near the top of the house
and held a tree limb in front OF the
swarm, and headed of their crawling
advance upward. Battalion Fire Chief
c. c. Mckay finally became disgusted
with the efforts to corral the bees and
ordered out . hose wagon to drive
them OF.

and even in that bedlam of bird calls
they would be called noisy.
Only one or two of the jackasSes
have begun their raucous tee-heeing,
perhaps because they are not yet accli-
mated in the Zoo. They will probably
be in full cry by tomorrow, however,
and keep it up for what the Zoo people
hope will be long life. The five are
not full grown. but they are expected
to thrive in captivity. They are the
only kingfshers that do.

RELIEF EMPLOYEES
FREED FROM CUTS
McCarI Holds Workers Here
Not Subject to Economy
Reductions.

Employees in the emergency relief
fund organization Of the District are
not subject to the wage cut provided
under the economy act for Federal and
District employees, Controller General
McCarl today advised the District Com
missioners.
The controller general also said that
where deductions had been made from
the pay Of these workers, with the un-
derstanding that the action was taken
subject to a ruling from the controller
general, that they were entitled to a
refund; If, however, they were hired
with the understanding that their pay
was subject to cut they are not to be
reimbursed.
LOG Persons Employed.
This organization has l06 employees.
the bulk Of whom get less than 1000
year. Generally, the salaries are
$3.50 and 5000 annually. though there
are some in higher brackets, includ-
ing one at top Of $4,000 and some in
lower, down to $720.
At the time, the Commissioners said,
the first appropriation was made. the
Board Of Public Welfare with the ap-
their organization and fixed salaries
considerably lower than the level Of
classified salaries for comparable work,
even with the Is per cent wage cut
applied.
At that time, with the first economy
act applying an 8la cut in effect, this
deduction was made, it was explained,
although, it was added, the workers
we're informed that it only should be
temporary until the controller general
should rule If they came under the cut.
Unfortunately" 1t was added, this
question was not brought to the atten-
tion Of the controller general and re-
Gently when the new economy act
boosted the cut to IS per cent, it again
came to mind.
McCarl's Opinion Asked
The Commissioners said that under
the law they believed they had a right
to fix salaries and exempt these well
fare workers from the cut in view OF
the scale which they were paying, and
asked McCarl's opinion. They also
asked If they could make refunds and
said If his ruling was that the Is per
cent cut should be applied, could they
raise salaries to bring them to the level
Of those provided under the personnel
classification act.
It was on this basis that McCarl said
that ANY amount withheld because of
uncertainty can be paid back" He ex-
planned, however, then, that If they
understood they were to be paid o Ger
tain sum less . percentage reduction,
that that was to be the pay base, and
he added it would not be possible to
make any increase In compensation ef-
fective retroactively, as this would ''be
In the nature of q gratuity."

GAMER ION SHELF
 FOR THREE WEEKS

New Haven, May 1S-Al Gamer, state heavyweight and light heavy weight boxing champion. is faced with a three weeks layoff as a re- suit of a nose injury received in his victorious battle with George Nichols, of Buffalo, at the Arena on Monday night.
 Doctors Mongillo and Nodelman, after a thorough examination o1 the colored fighters injury, report ed that a ruptured blood vessel caused the abnormal swelling which inclined number of fight fans to think AIS nose had been broken during the second round of the hectic scrap.
 The Mele brothers, Bob and Zip, Gainer's handlers, yesterday or- dered their fighter to take a com plete rest. They were under the impression that Gamers injury would be healed sufficiently in three weeks to, permit him to face Nichols again here before the cur tain is rung down on the indoor fight season at the Grove street sports palace.
 Nichols is reported as being anx- ious for a re-match and this nat ural, if arranged by Lew Brown and Al Caroly, would doubtless at- tract the largest crowd of the sea- son. Gainer. on trial up to last Monday night, completely sold himself to the fans by his sterling exhibition of give-and-take game ness under fire.

Stan Partyka, on the mound for the local Gems kept the visit ors we'll in check after a shaky first inning, the lone Meriden run coming in the third, partly as the result of ans error.

DODGERS PERK UP
 FOR MID-SEASON K DRIVE ON FLAG
Brooklyn Team Moves Into Third Place - Indians on Skids in American

New York, May 1s--(UP)- Brooklyn is back in third place in the National league standing, the same position where it finished last season, and the Dodgers appear ready to enter the pennant fight full blast.
 Max Carey's outfit showed a no- ticeable improvement recently, winning five of it's last six games, not counting it's tie with Cincinnati: Before this spurt 1t seemed out of stride, woefully weak in hitting and its field play was the worst in the league. The pitching was fair.
 That the Dodgers have devel- oped a fighting spirit was denoil- strated again yesterday when they staged their third straight winning ninth inning rally, making 1t two in a row over St. Louis, 5 to 2.
 This enabled Brooklyn to rise from second division past the Cards and Cincinnati who were left in a fourth-place tie.
 BerIy Breaks Leg
 Pittsburgh strengthened its grip on the league lead by taking its third straight game from the Phil lies, 6 to 4. Pitcher John Berly of the Pn1llleS DFOkS HE T1SHI iSS sliding home in the third inning

Former Local s tar Hits Safely Four Times in 70 Triumph Over Mid= dlebury

Worcester. May 1S-Holy Cross had little difficulty In defeating Middlebury here yesterday z to D. The Crusaders continued their heavy hitting, amassing 12 hits for a total of 23 bases, including hom- CTS by Tim Murray and Donat May nard. Bill Slime, sophomore lett handler, worked for the Crusaders and held the opposition to seven we'll scattered hits, striking out six and passing two,
 Honor for Murray
 The Crusaders got the jump on Ed Stefanick. Middlebury hurler, in the opening inning. Ad Niemiec opened with e two-base hit to cen- ter and Doc Corrigan promptly scored him with a hit through short. With two down Tim Murray hit a long smash into deep left field and by fine base running con- verted it into home run, his slide into the plate beating the relay by inches.
 Maynard led off in the second and his home run smash went into the football field. The Crusaders fifth run was manufactured through an Ed Britt triple to left and Maynard's single to center. Murray scored again for the Cross in the fifth, hitting safely through third base and scooting to third on Britt's ripping single over to Stew enson, Tim tr:ed to score and was nipped, but Junie Harley dropped the ball.
 Neimiec Again

Niemiec missed having a perfect day at bat when he was out on close decision at first in the eighth. Charlie Stevenson, visiting third baseman, contributed the fielding gems, accepting eight chances flaw lessly, one being a glove-hand catch of Doc Couillard's stinging liner. The score:

THERE HE GOES

slack times, what with horses. hounds. wages, rents, food, enter tainment and all that goes with the pastime.
 An English fox hunter is no piker. He may get by for the sea son on a 240-pound expenditure, but that sort of blighter has to know his way around and pick his hunt rather carefully. Many of the wealthier Britons spend 10000 pounds on a. season of the sport.
 A mansion. called a hunting box, can be rented for 2400 pounds. The big shot really should have about 20 horses. at 4S0 pounds apiece. Suppose the hunter pays 240 pounds for his hunt subscrip- tion. and. feeling his oats. puts up a couple of thousand pounds to take over. the mastership of the bloomin' hunt itself.
 It all amounts up to a couple of tons!

Once the pike is hooked, he should be played like any other game fish. Take care not to let him dash for some rock or hidden him have slack line, and don't let snag where he can break your line. If fishing from a boat in a lake, head for deep water.
 One thing to remember in catch ing pike concerns the teeth. Risk ing the chance of landing one with your hands is dangerous.
 Use a good gaff hook. Slip 1t under the fish's gills and throw him into the boat. once he's in. hit him couple of wallops over the back. for a four or five-pound pike in the boat takes up a lot of room and once he begins to flop around he can make the boat uncomfort- able.
