SCHOOL
CONTRACT IS
PROTESTED
Contractors and Workmen Say
Hunt Company Not Pay
ing Regulation Scale

The District Commissioners were
faced with a problem today when
two committees, representing both
contractors and workmen, called
to protest against the present con-
tract for erection of the Logan
School, Third and G Streets North
east.
The employers were represented
by E. j. Murphy, E. H. Rosengar-
ten, j. R. Skinker and George w.
Gates. The workmen were repre-
Sented by John Locher, Frank
Riggs and Larry Kelly.
The District Commissioners were
about to start work on the school
when difficulties arose between
the John w. Hunt Company on
one side and the various local con-
tractors and the labor union on
the other.
The protests to the Commits
sioners today alleged that the
John w. Hunt Company was not
paying the regulation scale OF
wages in many instances. The
Commissioners asked the commit.
tees to provide definite informa'
ton.

PETITION HALTS
ROAD PROJECT

Plans of the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission to construct a concrete
road extension of Beach Drive
from the East-West Highway to
Connecticut Avenue via the south
side Of Rock Greek, have been
halted temporarily, Irving c. Root,
chief engineer of the Park and
Planning Commission announced
today.
Although this has been adver-
tised as a construction project,
all bids received on it will be re-
jected unopened, Mr.. Root said.
This change in plans came
after a meeting of the Park and
Planning Commission late yester.
day, when a petition was pre-
sented by residents of Kensing-
ton, Md, asking the commission
to construct the road on the
north or Kensington side Of the
creek, which was the original
plan of the Park and Planning
Commission, they said.
Commission officials point out
that by constructing the road on
the north side of Rock Creek,
they can eliminate construction
of a bridge over the creek and
build the road for approximately
100000 less than on the north
side.
This change in plans may keep
the road from being built at all
this year, Mr.. Root said, as the
Park and Planning Commissions
funds are allotted to different
projects and it can not take
money from one project for
another,

CALVERT SPAN
To Be OPENED
TOMORROW
Bridge Is Moved Smoothly
At Total Cost of $41,743;
New Bridge Started

Street car traffic will be re-
sumed over the replaced Calvert
Street bridge at o'clock tomor-
row morning, according to Capt.
H. C. Whitehurst, District high
way engineer.
Meantime, as soon as the old
steel structure had glided to its
new moorings, engineers and
workmen started on the founda-
tions Of the new Calvert Street
bridge, which will cost almost a
million dollars, and is expected
to be finished in September, 1885.
Cost Is $41,743
It cost the contractor building
the new bridge just $41,743 to
move the old bridge. That is
figured as a part of the million
dollar appropriation covering the
new structure.
Engineer Commissioner Gotwals
today complimented the entire
force connected with the moving
of the old bridge. He said:
ut was a cOnspicuOusIy sue
ceSSful job. The SmOOthneSs and
lack Of accidents showed great
foresight and much preparation.
The eyes Of the whole country
were on that bridge moving yes
terday, and just because it was
in the National Capital any
accident or unforeseen delay
would have been 3ccentuated.
But nothing happened that we
had not planned"
CONCRETE SPAN
The new bridge will be of re.
inforced concrete, with three big
arches, the whole being stone
faced. The roadway will be "a
feet wide, including two 12-foot
sidewalks.
There will be no overhead troll
ley wires on the new bridge. The
present car pits on the east end
will be on the west side, with
automatic sliding hatchways that
will be closed except when cars
are over the pits. This will facili-
tate automobile traffic.

BEER.
CURB SOUGHT

Prince Georges county police
today began "war" on unli-
censed liquor distributors of the
District who are selling beer to
county retailers.
The order for the drive was
given by the Board of License
Commissioners, who yesterday for
the third time heard complaints
about the practice. On the other
occasions, the board notified all
retailers that they were violating
the law by buying from unli.
censed distributors and warned
the distributors of illegal sales.
Since thousands of dollars
worth Of beer is sold and bought
in the county daily, dealers who
operate from the District have
tried to gain some of the trade
that under the Maryland law,
must go to licensed Maryland
dealers.
Police were told to arrest all
violatorS and bring them into the
police court. Such an arrest may
cause a test Of the provision Of
the county'S liquor law as passed
by the Maryland legislature.

LACK Of FUNDS
MAGISTRATES
HOLIDAY
Money Transfer Is Requested
To Avoid 15-Day Lay-off
Of SO Employees

The entire staff of the District
Health Department will have to
be furloughed for IS days dur
ing the present month unless
some transfer Of funds can be
arranged.
Lightweight officials, inspec-
tors and other employees are in
volved. The reason is the six
million-dollar reduction in the
Districts funds as originally pro-
vided for in the 1884 appropria-
ton act and the amount actually
allowed by the Bureau of Budget.
Lists Cut to Bone
This huge cut made it neceS-
sary for department heads at
the District Building to carve all
salary lists to the bone. Many
employees were dropped, several
positions which became vacant
we're not refilled by appointment,
and in several departments fur
loughs without pay have been
the rule from time to time all
curing CAe year.
Conspicuous in the furlough COL
umn has been the inspectors divi-
sion, in which every official and
employe has been furloughed for
seventeen days all told during the
year. Many of the officials of
this department., however, have
not left their posts, but have
worked without pay.
FurIOugh Refused
District Health Officer Fowler,
however, did not arrange for a
schedule of burroughs throughout
the year on the ground that his
staff was just sufficient for the
work it was doing and that the
public would suffer if he laid off
any clerks or inspectors.
Recently the District Commits
sioners ordered a survey Of the
District government to find out
where furloughs would be neces-
sary, and the Health Depart
ment had been found to be the
only office where the funds will
not hold out until June 80, the
end of the present fiscal year.
It happens that there are some
odds and ends of funds in vari-
Gus District accounts which may
be used to pay salaries in the
Health Department. Auditor
Daniel E. Donovan is getting to-
gether the Iacts in order to pre-
sent to the Bureau of the Budget
a formal request for the transfer
of such funds to the Health De-
partment pay roll.

SECRET MIXING
BARS SCORED

Mixing of liquor at invisible
bars was bitterly assailed today
by the Maryland State and D. c..
Federation of Labor.
In a letter to the House and
Senate District Committees and
the District Commissioners, Frank
J. Coleman, secretary of the fed
Grafton pointed out that it Is a
serious matter when customers
cannot see if the drinks they order
are mixed correctly.
His organization favors immedi-
ate remedial legislation.

/ Pleased with the spirit
and the prowess of his
Tigers, Manager Mickey
Cochrane mapped series of work.
outs today to keep the boys on
their toes right up until play is
started Wednesday. Asked whether
he would start Lynwood (School-
boy) Rowe in the opening game,
Cochrane replied: Il may" and
added that Alvin Crowder and
Tommy Bridges also we're possible
choices.
Il probably will pick the one who
seems best fitted for the job on the
day of the game" he said.
Although the pitching berth for
Wednesdays opener remains un-
filled, the remainder of the Tiger
lineup will be the same as that
which has gone through the entire
season.
The demand for reserved seats
for the Navin Field games con-
tinued to grow, despite the fact
that all such seats have been al
lotted.
Lines formed early at Navin
Field as successful applicants for
reserved seats sought to present
their identification cards and OBJ

World Series Shapes Up as Base Ball 'Natllra

Frisch also can count on able
work from Bill Walker, the former
Giant southpaw, who contributed
substantially to the winning st.
Louis drive, with Tex Carleton and
Bill Hallahan, a hero of the 1881
world series, in reserve.
If pitching proves decisive, and
it generally figures to be at least
60 per cent of the world series
struggle, st. Louis will have the
edge over a Tiger staff featuring
Rowe, Tommy Bridges, Al Crowder.
Eden Auker and Fred Marberry.
The presence of the Deans, in fact,
may prompt Cochrane to alter his
pitching strategy by gambling on
the veteran Crowder. a Washing
ton castoff, against Dizzy Dean in
the first game and then countering
with the brilliant Rowe against
Paul Dean. This would be con-
sidered sound" policy by most
base ball men and undoubtedly
will be the subject of much MASTER
minding in the Tiger camp.
With a lineup that has batted
an even 800 for the season, Coch-
rane may not feel he has much to
worry about, Deans or no Deans.
The Tigers slugged the best pitch
ing the American League had TO
offer all year with Cochrane,
Charley Gehringer. Goose Goslin,
Hank Greenberg, Marvin Owen and
Billy Rogell sharing in the bonn
bardment. The answer to who's
going to stop the Deans?" may be
another question: How are the
Deans going to stop this wrecking
crew."
The Tigers carry a big threat
from the top to bottom of their
batting order, especially when Rowe
is in the game and also swinging
a big bat, but there's little re-
sembling a soft spot in the Car
dinal batting order either.
Before reaching the light-hitting
Orsatti and Durocher, the Tiger
pitchers will have to deal with
Martin, Rothrock. Frisch, Medwick,
Collins and either Delaney or
Davis. the slugging backstops.
Most of these Cardinal clouters
have waded through stronger
pitching opposition than the
Tigers faced all season, in addi-
ton to which they have nearly all
been through succession of
harder pennant wars
Both teams carry more speed
and aggressiveness, as well as more
batting power, than any others in
base ball. Both are chock full of
confidence and r'arin' to 60, but
somebody will have to run for
cover when those Dean boys start
Tiger-hunting.
