'RecreatiOnaI Institute to Be Held at C. U. This
 Summer

Washington. D. CA "Recrea- tional Institute" will be inaugurat- ed at the Catholic university at Washington, D. C.. with the open ing of the 1894 summer session for the purpose of training play lead CTS who will be able to give scien- tific thought and practical exper- fence to the highly complicated task of directing children's play into the proper channels. The institute will be under the direction of the Rev Dr Paul Hanly Furfey of the department of sociology of the Catholic uni- versity who is widely known for his studies and researches into the life and problems of the adolescent child.
 "Educators are realizing more and more clearly the importance of play in the child's life," accord ing to Dr Furfey. ''Play builds healthy bodies and. what is more important. wholesome play is an excellent preventive for juvenile delinquency.
 "without training it is not easy to be a good play leader, just as it is not easy to be a good teacher without training. Play is a com plicated thing and the child does not respond we'll to the leader who does not understand play" The courses to be offered by the recreational institute are primarily for the training of play leaders. Each subject will be handled by experts and will be essentially practical. Through the coopera- tion of the District of Columbia Playground Department. students will have an opportunity to apply their knowledge in field work un- der supervision. The institute will cffer an opportunity to persons in- terested in child guidance to gain 8 really good foundation in play leadership in reasonably short period. Regular academic credit will be given for the courses for those who are working for degrees and certificates.

THEFT OF ARMS
IRKS OFFICIALS
Justice Department to Ask
Aid of Military Authorities
to End Robberies.

Aroused at the comparative ease
with which gangsters have obtained
arms and ammunition from National
Guard armories in various parts Of
the country, the Department of JUS
tice has decided TO solicit aid Of the
War Department in an effort to end
the menacing situation.
The move follows closely disclosure
by witnesses before House investi-
eating group in California that So
called silver Shirts" q secret or
ganization of alleged agitators, are
armed with military rifles.
Guns Taken From Armory.
Some months ago the National
Guard Armory in Hgattsville was
burglarized Of number Of guns, and
similar tfefts have been reported
from scattered sections during recent
months.
Records of the Department OF JUS
tice show that since January, 1882,
the Division Of Investigation has IN
quired into "a robberies of National
Guard armories and that the loot
obtained included more than 1000
guns. Slightly less than q fourth Of
these guns have been recovered.
Among the stolen weapons were 10
machine guns, ga 45-caliber auto
matics and numerous revolvers Of
smaller caliber. In addition, the
robbers took away stocks of bullet
proof vests and 5000 rounds of am
munition. About 200 rounds OF am
munition have been recovered from
underworld hideouts.
Arms Easily Accessible.
Investigation has disclosed that
many of the National Guard arms
supplies are housed in fiimsy, made
quately protected buildings, access to
which has proved easy for looters in
many instances.
It is understood this condition was
brought to the attention Of military
officials some time ago, but the thefts
have continued unabated. The rob-
berries shown on the departmental
records, 1t was pointed out, are not
the only ones that have occurred.
Those listed are those in which the
Federal agents were asked by local
authorities to assist In the investiga-
ton, but q number of army thefts
were solved without aid Of the Gov
ernment men and they do not appear
in the Federl records.
Justice officials feel that the situa-
ton Is sufficiently serious to warrant
drastic action to plug the leakage of
military arms. Cooperation of the
War Department is necessary, they
believe.

WA[MSLEY SCORES
IN LONG BATTLE
Wins Injunction Preventing
State From Taking Over
Control of Police.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, August 9.-Ruling
for the city against the State, District
Judge Nat w. Bond today issued an
injunction to Mayor T. Semmes
Walmsley preventing proposed new
police board from taking the police
power out of his hands.
Judge Bond held unconstitutional
the legislative act creating the new
board which Senator Huey P. Long,
political adversary of the Walmsley
forces, caused to be passed through
the recent State Assembly.
The police board issue was one of
several issues between the Walmsley
and Long factions, which have re-
suited in both sides arraying armed
camps of opposing policemen and Ma
tional Guardsmen in the city.
Sought Control by Board.
The act passed by the Long-con-
trolled Legislature was drawn to take
the local police authority away from
Mayor Walmsley by placing superyi-
sion in the hands of public board
composed of seven men, named by
seven local civic, fraternal and educa-
tional organizations.
The several organizations named
the board several weeks ago, but the
city secured temporary restraining
order to prevent its functioning.
Before a crowded court room, Judge
Bond today handed down his ruling
granting an injunction to the city
against any function of the proposed
new police board"
stitutional because it would take away
from the electors the right to control
their local government, by placing
control In the hands of private cor
porations and associations"
Take Blank From Teacher.
Meanwhile National Guardsmen
helped take a registration blank away
from Miss Airene Bergeron, a school
teacher, in the militia-held registra-
tion ofice.
r. j. Gregory, registrar, said she
had filed out her registration blank
incorrectly, but refused to say what
was wrong with it.
Miss Bergeron started out Of the Of
fee with the blank, saying she want
ed to show 1t to Nicholas Bauer, su-
perintendent of city schools, but Ma
tional Guardsmen blocked her way.
A crowd gathered, she said, and the
soldiers threatened to fire If it did not
disperse.
She said tie soldiers escorted her to
Mr.. Gregory's office, and he explained
that the card was State property and
could not be taken away.
Gregory said that Miss Bergeron's
account was true, but that there twas
nothing 10 it to amount to anything"
Newspapers have carried articles
saying that several persons known to
be opposed to Senator Long, have
been refused registration because they
failed TO dot SIS" or spell out street"
or avenue"
