of George S. Wilson, director of the
Board of Public Welfare. who showed

tinue these activities until the appro-
priation for the next fiscal year becomes

PARLEY WILL PUSH
BANK STOCK SALE
Leaders in Merger to See
Graham on Return From
Florida Today.

With Edwin c. Graham, president oi
the proposed Hamilton National Bank
expected to return today from Florida
the campaign to raise S1,250,000 capt.
tai structure for the new seven-b bank
merger, swings into another week today
with prospects of intensified activity.
Leaders in the merger movement
planned to see Mr.. Graham today on
developments of the past week, and to
lay plans for the future.
Among those who will see Mr.. Gra-
ham will be Capt. Chester Wells, chair
man of the General Subscription Com
mittee of the Hamilton National Bank.
Capt. Wells plans to inform Mr.. Gra-
ham of the progress made during the
week in the sale of stock While no
official figures were available last night,
1t is understood they have gone far be-
yond three-quarters of a million dol
lars.
The mistaken idea that stock in the
Hamilton National is not available to
the general public was denied yesterday
by officials Of the merger So widespread
had this notion become, it was explain
ed, that several persons yesterday asked
at banks whether it would be possible
for a person who was neither a stock
holder nor q depositor in a member
bank of the merger to buy stock. Some
investors who came from outside the
member banks making inquiry have
made substantial subscriptions, it was
explained. The public can buy stock
in the merger, at any of the member
banks or their branches, 1t was ex-
planned.
Some stockholders in the member
banks have largely increased their sub
scr1ptlons during the past week, 1t was
reported in one quarter.
So far the situation in the District
concerning the 13 unlicensed banks has
resulted in seven banks joining the new
Hamilton National merger, with the
Franklin National Bank and the In
dustrial Savings Bank, the latter a COL
ored institution, endeavoring to reor-
ganize to reopen as separate institutions.

Beer-Laden Truck
Stolen as Driver
Is Making Delivery
Police Make Wide Search
for Vehicle and 100
Barrels.

An enterprising thief stole 100 bar
rels of beer and a five-ton truck last
night from Eleventh and E streets
northeast, without leaving trace be-
hind.
Francis Ramey of Ballston, Va, who
had bought the beer and was distrib-
uting 1t to retailers, left the truck
parked at the curb while he went into
store to make a delivery.
Returning, Ramey found his beer
gone, truck and all, and no one in the
vicinity had seen it RON off. He re-
ported the theft to No. 9 precinct and
lookout for the truck was broadcast
to authorities in Washington and near
by localities.
Ramey was uncertain whether the
thief took the truck to get the beer or
the beer to get the truck, or both. The
police assigned some OF their best in
vestigators to the case, however, and
expected to recover the truck before
morning. They were not so hopeful
about the beer.

Siamese Fashion
Washingtonian Will Seek
License and Charge
Admission.

Kitty's contribution has encouraged
Jacob Blum and his wife Rebecca to
figure on little profit.
Kitty was only another alley cat
until Tuesday, when she became the
mother Of the four-fold wonder of the
cat world. The newcomers, all four OF
them, were joined together, like Siamese
twins. and forthwith were brought from
the cellar of Mr.. Blums shoe repair
shop at 214 Seventh street southeast
to place Of honor In the Blum living
room.
Due to the ensuing publicity, more
than 200 persons viewed the kittens
yesterday, and additional visitors were
expected today.
Thus 1t has occurred to the Blums
that since the public was interested,
visitors would not object to a nominal
admission charge. They fear, how
ever. this would require q license, so
they expect to apply for one at the
District Building tomorrow.

DIAMOND ATHLETES
Base Ball Coach Has 70 Men,
All Strangers, to Pick From.
Ends Needed.

~ GORGE WASHINGTON UNI
VERSITY coaches Of base ball
i and foot ball, hopeful of IA
vorable weather, have ordered
full steam ahead for their respective
squads in practice this week on Tidal
Basin fields. More than 100 athletes
were signed up for Spring drills last
week, this number constituting some
thing Of . record in Colonial sports
history.
Coach Ed Morris is particularly
anxious to speed up base ball practice.
for he has been given the assignment
Of turning out the first diamond team
representing George Washington In 80
years. The Colonial nine will play a
schedule Of night games in Griffith
Stadium for the benefit Of the National
Capital Civic Fund
Despite the fact that nearly 70 boys
turned out; Morris smilingly goes about
the big task Of selecting what will form
fact that practically all Of his charges
are new to him, thus affording him lit
tie or no information as to their actual
ability, the job cut out for him Is GER
tainly no cinch.
TWO days out Of doors last week
i found the squad, divided into
groups, engaged in batting and
fielding drills. A few more days of
this, says Morris, will greatly help in
determining which candidates are likely
to prove of service.
Already, to cite one case, Morris has
discovered a promising player in OTIS
Zahn, captain Of the G. w. 1932-1933
basket ball team. Zahn, who has played
considerable base ball In high school
and sandlot circles, Is giving a good ac-
count of himself at first base, posi-
ton that is new to him. Ordinarily a
second baseman. Zahn Is receiving a
test at the initial sack, where his height
and reach are found advantageous In
the meantime, George Irving, the only
left-hander in the entire squad, also is
battling for first base recognition.
The foot ball coaches, Pixlee, Walsh,
Myers and Lee. are doing some expert
menttng. too. on the adjacent field. Joe
Edwards and Hank Strayer. who were
halfbacks last Fall, are drilling at end
and guard, respectively, while Bill Par
rish, who performed both at fullback
and tackle, is being used at end. Re-
placement OF the graduating ends,
Chambers. Mulvey and Galloway, Is
probably the biggest problem the Colo
malls mentors face in trying to prepare
q team for their pretentious 1888
