creasing the supply of game and fish
and also combating disease. One
of its most helpful provisions, he
pointed out, Is for investigation and
eradication Of pollution in impor-
tant streams.
Representative Warren said that
during the discussion of these meas
ures in the House the Potomac River,
one of the greatest fishing streams in
the Nation, was cited as an example
Of. how sewage and pollution can
destroy fish and recreational facil-
tiles. He said that as soon as the
organization is set up the serious CON-
dition now existing in the Potomac
will be thoroughly Investigated and
steps taken to bring 1t back to its
former greatness.
Condition Deplored.
cit is certainly inconceivable that
here at the Capital Of the Nation
we should permit the Potomac to be
destroyed by a condition that may
be remedied so easily" Representa-
tive Warren said
Coming as I do from one of the
greatest game and fishing districts of
the Nation, I have had first-hand
opportunity to know how a section
can almost be destroyed by the pollu-
ton OF its waters. In spite of many
discoura gements, I waged a fight in
Congress for seven years which finally
ended in victory, when at cost OF
$5O0,00O the lock was restored in the
Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal"
Representative Warren said this
lock was taken out by the Army
Engineers as an experiment, thereby
causing a swift current through the
canal, with the result that the sewage
and pollution from Chesapeake Bay
and Norfolk Harbor swept into the
bay section Of Virginia, and the Cur
rituck section of North Carolina, and
completely wiped out and destroyed
what had been rated at one time as
the greatest feeding ground for migra-
tory wild fowl on the American
continent.
Work Opportunity Lost.
"The sweet grasses and celeries
| were quickly cut down and the
greatest habitat for the black bass
, was desolated. The livelihood Of
several thousand people was affected.
There was only one place to which
We could turn, and that was the
Biological Survey, and it made a
notable contribution to the cause. So
able and convincing was the brilliant
report made by w. L. McAtee, one OF
its scientists, that Congress passed
the bill for restoration of the lock.
In the short space of two years, a so
per cent recovery was noted. In just
| a few more years We are confident
that Back Bay and Currituck will be
again restored to its former greatness
as q wild fowl center"

Leader of Gunmen Identified
as Escaped Desperate
by Chauffeur.

CHICAGO, March 10.-Il sensa-
tional gun fight in which the police
believe John Dillinger, "kill-crazy" jail
breaker, was the chief gunner, sent
Investigators on an intensified hunt
for the slippery desperate today.
The fight occurred late last night
In suburban Schiller Park between
gunner and Police Chief Robert
Christian. whose car was completely
disabled by gunf1re.
The men, whose leader was iden-
titled by James Gaskin, a chauffeur,
as Dillinger, escaped. They are be-
lieved to have gone to hideout in
Wisconsin.
Believed Stolen Car.
Chief Christian had pursued two
speeding sedans. AS he drew up to
within 10 feet of the larger of the
two, a gun was thrust through the
rear window. Shots splattered all

He returned the fire, but without ap-
parent effect, and the two cars sped
away.
One of the machines was believed
to have been the same one stolen
earlier in the night from Mrs. Herman
Stern, by whom Gaskin is employed.
Gaskin told police that three or four
men in another car kidnapped him,
stole Mrs. Sterns car, took him along
with them and then forced him out,
roaring away to safety. From pictures
he said he recognized Dillinger as one
of the men.
Dyer Act Violation Charged.
Federal officials delivered their Sec
ond blow in the Dulinger affair by
ordering the arrest of Ernest Blunk,
f1ngerprint expert who is accused OF
locking Matt Brown, one of Dillinger's
guards, in a cell shortly before Dill
ernment removed its eight prisoners
from the Crown Point Jail to South
Bend.
The order for Blunk's arrest was
based on the allegation that he vi

pistol. The automobile stolen from
Sheriff Lillian Holley, later was found
abandoned in Chicago. Blunk pro-
tested that he was compelled to do
the driving at the point of a gun.
State Highway Policemen Albert
Topp and William Miller said that a
few moments after hearing a radio
description of the Dillinger machine
the car whizzed by them on Mann
helm road travelling 80 miles an hour.
They opened fire, they said, the oc-

shots as they disappeared in the dis

one of those great moSs-laden OAKS
which are so common to the deep
South. So calmly did these two crack
marksmen stand there in the infant
morning that if it had not been for
their weapons a paSSerby might have
thought no more than that they
were seeking refuge from the ap-
preaching storm.
Their attitude toward each other
in a case like this was almost too
much for me, who knew them so
well, to comprehend. Each eyed the
other like a father, who, being well
pleased with some act of great courage
or chivalry about to be performed,
might look upon his son.
The sky, boiling and flashing, sud-
denly burst with a deafening roar
and poured deluge into our midst, as
if even the heavens were protesting
that which was about to be done. 1t
wasn't right that these two, who for
years had been like unto Damon and
Pythias, should deliberately attempt
to snuff out each others life. I, who
was their mutual friend, had tried
until the last to effect a reconcile
alton.
Think, Cornelius" I had pleaded
with the one on the night preceding
"dueling is not the way that these
things are settled in this age. 1t is
obsolete. 1t is illegal. It's foolish. 1t
Just isn't done, old chap. Besides, he
is your very good friend. Stop this
thing, beSeech you
1T is the only way he replied
sadly. 1T is the way my ancestors
and his ancestors would have settled
it and it is the way that we shall
settle it."
But" I said, still hopeful, "you
admit that Philippe didn't know that
this woman was the one you intended
to marry. From your own lips I
have heard that he had never seen
her before"
1T makes no difference" he an
swered. MY friend, you apparently
do not understand. 1t is thing OF
honor. Honor for which my family
has lived and fought and died for
generations. I must uphold 1t. That
he was ignorant of who she was l
cannot help. can understand, put
not excuse.

Y our . q 5,
your honor, your ancestors; you are
both mad!" I cried. Tell him about
this woman or else release me from
my promise to you so that may tell
him!"
Cornelius must learn it for him
self" he quietly answered. And
now that she has gone away he may
never learn. Perhaps it is better that
way. But to learn from you or me,
his dearest friends, that she has long
been unfit for hint is unthink-
able"
So on the morrow these two faced
each other on their field of honor"
1t wasn't right that this thing should
be done. They faced each other
quietly, compassionately.
I had loaded their guns in their
presence, one cartridge to each, and
they had agreed that one shot should
settle the thing forever.
With sereneneSs which was be-
yond my understanding they faced
each other while I nervously counted.
Romantic asses" thought.
''Ten!" I cried out and lowered my
hand to indicate that the count was
ended.
Like unto one the two guns fired.
For an instant I could not bear to
look, and when did there they stood
like two marble statues, their guns
not yet lowered; as if each were
waiting for dreaded thing to hap
pen, suddenly hoping that it wouldn't
happen, and yet knowing that it
must.
Then suddenly they moved, like
figures in tableaux who, having
finished their act, break the pose in
order to convince the audience that
they are things of life. And while
I looked on in utmost amazement
they strobe toward each other, and
halfway between those trees beneath
the boughs of which they had just at
tempted to kill each other they en-
braced in mutual affection.
The day was still babe when I
returned to the place where this near
double tragedy had been enacted
And there midway between those
two giant oaks I stopped in the now
softly falling rain and picked up two
leaden balls, fused as one and mis-
shapen, just as they had fallen when
in their fatal course they mercifully
stayed each other.
