.BAER BROTHERS
SOUGHT BY N.Y..
PROMO D TIERS
By DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Glumly
impressed with the fact that even
members of a mans immediate
family can't be induced to watch
him engage in a prize fight
nowadays, the boys hereaboutS
are fixing to introduce the Fol
lies Bergere motif into boxing
this winter, somewhat along the
lines of Mr.. Baer's plan to play
a double header for the heavy
weight championship.
They're figuring on putting on
their revue either at Miami or
New York this winter, with the
following program:
Barney Ross, the lightweight
champion, VS.. either Jimmy Nc
Larnin, the welterweight cham
pion, or Tony Canzoneri, the
former lightweight champion.
Bat Fungoes
Max Baer. the heavyweight
champion. in four round exhibi-
ton batting fungoes off some
body's sodden features.
Buddy Baer, brother of Max,
against some good, reliable bum.
They didn't say anything about a
bicycle act.
Ross. I believe, agreed to terms
in Cleveland last week, accepting
both Canzoneri as a challenger
for the lightweight championship
and himself as a challenger for
McLarnin's welterweight title. If
a Ross-McLarnin match is made,
the promoters naturally will play
it straight and do away with the
floor show.
Third Meeting
It would be the third meeting
between the pair. McLarnin dis
agreeing with the judges the first
time and Ross the second.
Both fights drew more than
100000 people in New York,
which constitutes a pretty sound
argument against Miami. They
bet more than $30,O00,000 on the
horses and dogs down thare last
winter and paid only $45 900 for
Camera and Loughran. Proving
what? Offhand, I couldn't ex-
actly say except that you can't
fool a dog fancier.

Tells of Six-Year Study.
The last witness, Mr.. Delano, de-
clared that for the last six years the
Park and Planning Commission has
made careful study of the entire
airport situation.
The commission adheres to its be-
lief that the Gravelly Point site would
be more suitable than any other for
airport purposes" he said.
He recommended only the most neces-
sary improvement of Washington Air
port to care for the city's aviation
needs until Gravelly Point is made
available.
The commission recommends that
provision be made for a permanent
airport, unrestricted as to size and OBJ
struction, and that the District engineer
be directed to proceed with the filling
of Gravelly Point to provide for such
an airport he said
Dredging Of the Washington Channel
must be carried on continuously and
the Gravelly Point site will be developed

velopment would be s2,300,000. COM

Representative Smith closed the ses-
sion with a request that representatives
of Arlington County be heard at length

posal. These witnesses will be heard
Thursday. The committee will resume
the hearing at 10 am. tomorrow. with

There is slightly more than one

Less than four traffic cases out of ten

jury ever will be followed by an indict-
ment.
Such are the conditions indicated by
a composite survey of coroner'S jury
actions in traffic fatalities here during
the past five years. The survey is at
tached as supplemental item to the
record of all cases handled by the cor
oner's Office in 1933 compiled by j.
Bernard Mccoy. superintendent of the
District Morgue. Ironically enough,
facts contained in it probably will serve
as partial basis for arguments favor

The general report itself includes a
record of causes in the 2.421 deaths
last year which required the attention
of Acting Coroner A. Magruder McDon-
aid and Deputy Coroner Christopher J.
Murphy.
Functions Unique.
Inquests were held in 207, or just be-
low 10 per cent of the deaths. and a
total of 1913 cases were filed with the
Office of the district attorney as re-
suit of these hearings.
In the instance of traffic fatalities
the functions of the coroner's juries
we're unique. There were 72 inqueSts
last year, with "A cases declared acci-
dental, 2 attributed to the actions of
unknown parties and 25 persons held
for the grand jury.
Out of the latter number, 10 cases
we're ignored or nolle pressed and only
four indicted. Three other charges are
pending before the grand jury now.
Similar conditions are shown to have
existed during the years 1929. 1880,
1891 and 1882. Adding the records of
those years with the statistics OF 1888

erty within go feet of the applicants
object. The House bill procluded grant,

comm ttee limited this to felonies COM
m 5ted within 10 years, but also pro-
h;b' ted fcenses to persons convicted Of
misdemeanors under the Volstead law.
Street Drinking Ban.
One of the most important changes
in the Senate bill is a ban against
drinking on the street or other public
places. which would have been possible
under the House bill.
Numerous other smaller changes were
made in the House text. No change
was made in the local tax of so cents

is imposed on beer or light wines, with
a 35-cent-per- gallon tax on wine above
IA per cent alcoholic content.
If the Serate passes the bill today or
tomorrow, the measure then goes to
conference with the House, unless the
House should concur Immediately in the
Senate amendments. In either event,
the bill probably will go to the Presi-
dent before the end of the week. If the
bill becomes law this week, the issuance
of licenses probably would start some
time between February and 10, allow

by the country as model and the true
friends of temperance hope the private
license system does not represent PreSl-
dent Roosevlts plan of liquor control.
Not only does the bill remove all
restrictions with respect to the sale OF
liquor on military reservations within
the District" Mcbride declared, but
an amendment added by the Senate
repeals the act of February 2. 1901,
which prohibits the sale of liquor in
any canteen anywhere in the United
States. as well as certain wartime re-
strictions respecting the sale of liquor
to men in the naval and military serv-
ice, thus opening all military reserva-
ticns of the United States for the sale
of liquor
Among the amendments made by the
Senate Committee to the House bill are:
Reduction of the salaries of the three
members of the liquor control board
from $4,000 to 5000 a year each: elm
ination of the requirement that at least
one member shall be a woman, and the
provision that members of the board
may be removed by the Commissioners
at any time.
Hotel Change Proposed.
The number OF rooms hotel must
have to obtain a liquor license is in
creased in the Senate bill from 80 to so
rooms.
The section giving the Commissioners
broad powers to draft regulations not
inconsistent with the terms of the bill,
has been amended by the Senate Com
mittee to enable them to place a limit
on the number of licenses of each class
and on the number in any locality.
The Commissioners are given power to
establish restricted zcnes around schools,
churches and other public institutions,
but under amendments made at the
Capitol, these zones would not be en-
tirelv free of liquor establishments.
The House bill limited the Com
missioners' authority to forbid the is
suance of licenses near schools and
churches for businesses established
after the beer law of last April was
enacted. The Senate Committee made
this exemption even more liberal by
changing the date from April 5, 1888,
to the date when this bill becomes law.
Although the Commissioners could re-
fuse licenses to these establishments
for other reasons, they could not, under
the Senate amendment, forbid licenses
to stores already established on the
ground of proximity to churches or
schools.
Under the private license bill, res
taurants, hotels, clubs, boats and rail-.
road dining cars could serve haI<
liquor to persons seated at tables. Beer

Nine Decisions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
In a brief session yesterday the SUI
preme Court of the United States hand
ed down decisions in nine cases, but
declined to pass on whether those serv-
ing prison terms for prohibition viola
tions must be released Immediately.
Ehe prohibition case, which originated
il the middle district of Pennsylvania,
was dismissed because it had not been
acted on by the Court of Appeals.
The Federal District Court had re-
fused to release Alfred r. Nerbonne,
serving time for liquor violation. He
contended it was unlawful to hold him
longer, as the prohibition law had been
repealed. He appealed directly to the
Supreme Court.
Treaty Involved in One Case.
Seven of the decisions involved Fed
eral tax cases, one construction OF
life insurance policy and another con-
struction of the treaty with Great Brit
ain affecting international boundary
waters in Minnesota.
The latter decision reversed the action
Of the lower Federal courts in refusing
to permit the Pigeon River Improve
ment, Slide & Boom Co. of Minnesota
the right to collect tolls on logs and
pulp wood from Canada.
The court announced it would take a
recess from next Monday to February S.
The court consented to pass on the
question whether receivers of railroads
can require trial in Federal courts of
damage suits arising out of personal in
juries.

guardian of Gilbert F. Poole a World
