Some young men are 50 promising

1t keeps some men so busy being

When a man begins to shout his

SEA MONSTER" WASHED ASHORE
AT CHERBOURG, FRANCE.
. sea lion. the square head Of a
manatee and the body OF long
dugong."
In France it was called "a bottle
nosed whale" and later "a basking
shark beaten out of shape by the
waves" All in all, it remains strange
animal.
Back In 184S q monster was re-
ported by Capt. M'Quhae of the "Dae-
dalus," after returning to England
from the South Atlantic. The captain
told of seeing IAN enormous serpent.
with head kept about 4 feet above
the sea-" in the South Atlantic. He
declared that "at the very least go
feet of the animal was in view and
went on to relate:
"It passed rapidly, but so close
under our lee quarter that If 1t had
been a man should have recognized
his features"
Lieut.. Edgar Drummond. who was
aboard the vessel, also declared that
he saw the animal.
"It was going perhaps from IL to
IA miles per hour" he stated. 1T
gave one quite the idea OF a large
snake or eel"
The Daedalus case is famous, but
It is only one Of dozens of stories In
"sea serpent lore" Many captain
and many a sailor have felt that it
was not right for folk on land to
laugh about reports of such monsters.
There ore however reasons WhV the
tales can be doubted, and We shall
take up some of them tomorrow.

outline history of the growing popu-
larity of the game and the swing
from auction to contract.
Dropping his law practice entirely
in 1917, he toured the country at his
own expense, arranging bridge tourna-
ments as Red Cross benefits. His
efforts realized more than 100000.
When contract became popular,
Work originated the ''official system"
with the ''two-club force" as a promi-
nent innovation.
AS his writings increased, his serv-
ices as a teacher were more and more
in demand. His Interpretation and
clarification of the laws of the game
was given countless bridge followers
in books, magazine articles, syndi-
Gated articles in 200 newspapers and
lectures.
He divided his time between his
home and office in Philadelphia and
bridge headquarters, 285 Madison ave-
nue., New York City.

Before his bridge interests consumed
so much of his energies he had a taste
of public life as eighth ward repre-
sentative in Philadelphia's old Select
Councils about 20 years ago under
Mayor John Weaver.
The Union League Club, Racquet
Club, Philadelphia Country Club,
Merton Cricket Country and Pennsyl-
vania Athletic Club claimed him as a
member, as did Whist and Cavendish
Clubs in New York He was a men,

early today IN a Philadelphia hospital
He was SO.
The Philadelphia card expert, who
gave up a promising law career to
find a fortune in popular interpreta-
ton of the laws of bridge, fell victim
to intestinal disorders that harried
him for months.
He was first stricken at Reading,
Pa, while playing in the open pair

championship tournament last Octo-
Der. Recovered sufficiently to return
home, he continued to play his favor
ite game until he was last taken i'll
several weeks ago.
Interested in Athletics.
A son of Robert and Mrs Anna
Wniteman Work, the bridge author
teacher entered his chosen field
through the medium of whist, game
of which he was a enthusiastic fol-
lower in his college days at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania and the
university law school.
At school, however. his interests
were not restricted to cards. He
played cricket and tennis and man
aged the base ball and foot ball teams
In the year of his graduation from
law school, 1887 he toured England
as a member of the Gentlemen of
Philadelphia Cricket Club.
His law career opened auspiciously,
but whist held much of his attention.
His first book, issued in 1893, was
Whist of Today"
With the advent of bridge, he be-
came a fan" and soon learned he
could win consistently by following
certain laws he found inherent in the
game.

LOWER ASSESSMENTS
FAVORED BY CITIZENS
Federation Would Tax Property
on so Per Cent Basis, Rails
ing Rate TO So.

Chairman Norton of the House Dis
trict Committee was notified yesterday
by H. C. Phillips, corresponding secre-
tary of the Federation Of Citizens
Associations. that the federation had
passed resolutions in favor of a re-
duction in assessments for tax pur-
poses to so per cent of the value.
which would be comparable to that of
other cities and which would result
in a tax rate of SO.
This would obviate the complaint
frequently made by members of Con-
gress that the District enjoys the
lowest rate of taxation in the country.
The federation also advocated de-
lay on legislation seeking transfer to
the District Commissioners of the
powers OF the Board Of Public Wei
fare. Mrs. Norton also was notified
that the organization recommended
against the bill which would give
the District health officer and his
agents or assistants police powers to

not permit the completion of the
structure without additional appro-
priations. Likewise, it was pointed
out that if completion Of the Wilson
High School could be moved far
enough forward to make it ready for
occupancy a year from next Novem-
ber, the 1885 appropriation bill would
have to carry equipment funds. To
meet this condition, the Senate added
100000 to the bill for construction
and $175,0O0 for equipment.
Difficulties Involved.
Commenting on the delay in start
ing the Wilson school, Maj. Gotwals
reminded the Senate Committee that
the Commissioners had wanted to
face the school on FesSenden street
but that plans had to be changed
when the Park and Planning Com
mission that it face the still unfin-
ished Fort Drive. 1t was at this point
in the hearings that Senator Nye
said:
There has been one thing stand
ing out in this whole experience:
There are just too many departments
with their finger in these matters,
so that nobody is responsible. That
condition Of lack of responsibility
is one that you find bobbing up not
only to embarrass the committee. but
also a source OF embarrassment to
the Congress as a whole"
Asked by Senator Thomas of Okla
homa if he had any suggestion to
make, Senator Nye replied that he
did mot know what We are going
to do about it."
Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant
superintendent in charge of colored
schools, asked urgently for the reinser-
ton of an item of 5000 for re-equip-
ping the Shaw Junior High School.
