ALLEN DESIRES
CITY CENTER
At ANYCOST
But Wants Day Labor Offered
To Those on Relief Roles;
Hearing on Friday

"Use day labor and give work
to those on relief rolls, and 1
am in favor Of the construction
of a Municipal Center regard
less of its cost"
In these words Commissioner
George E. Allen today explained
his standpoint in the project
which under present plans would
cost the District more than $780,
900, 900.
The District head explained
that Congress could authorize the
city engineers to superintend the
work and that the unemploy
ment problem would be practi-
cally solved, if this plan were
followed.
Will Submit Plans
At a hearing at II o'clock Fri
day morning plans to finance the
construction of the project will
be submitted to a group repre-
senting civic, trade and profeS-
sional organizations.
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
has expressed himself in favor of
the sale of two of the city blocks
owned by the District and desig-
mated as the site for the proposed
center. The property to be sold
is located between Third and
Sixth Streets south of c Street
to Pennsylvania Avenue North
west.
The District purchased the
land at a cost of $6,521,000 and
it is estimated that 100000 is
the resale value of the two blocks.
Reasons For Reducing
Among the reasons advanced
in favor of reducing the size of
the Municipal Center are:
The present plans call for an
expenditure of money beyond the
capacity of the District to pay,
and for the construction Of build
ings too elaborate for the Dis
trict's needs.
Reduction in the size of the
center project and removal of the
building from the Pennsylvania
Avenue frontage will provide the
city with a site entirely separate
from the Federal projects.
In the location site remaining
to the District, which includes the
two city blocks north of the two
blocks to be sold, a center could
be constructed in accordance with
the architectural style of the Dis
trict Supreme Court Building.
Would Save Artery
The smaller project would pre-
serve c Street as traffic artery
and would make possible the i'm.
mediate construction of the small
courts building. the first unit of
the center project.
Engineering COM issioner
Daniel I. Sultan declared the
present plans for the center are
entirely too lavish for the Dis
trict's needs, and that he is IN
favor Of a building which would
be less expensive to the city.
Commissioner Sultan suggested
that a PWA loan might be nego-
tiated to build the center.

useless as a hunter.
By R1LLA SCHROEDER

The days of old when every
knight carried a hunting falcon on
his wrist and his 'ladye" carried
the smaller but equally game mer'
lin are being revived by a group
of lads in Chevy Chase.
The boys have caught and
trained their own birds.
The group includes Gates Stat
terry, Hugh Stabler, the Craighead
twins, John and Frank; Alver
Nye and Morgan Berthong, all of
Chevy Chase, D. c.
Hawks of All Sizes
Their hawks vary from the
game but diminutive sparrow
hawk, owned by the Stabler boy,
to the duck hawk (owned by sew
eral of them, the peregrine of
falconry.
Gates Slattery was the first of
the lads to become interested in
the colorful sport. He caught his
first hawk about three years ago
and since has owned and trained
several, among them the red-tail
hawk he recently presented to
the Zoo.
The red-tail, he explains, while
useful for beginners, is not a true
falcon. It has neither the hunt
ing instincts nor the aptitude for
training of the other hawks.
The duck hawk, or peregrine,
according to Gates, is the best.
The birds, a native of this vicin.
ity. are the true peregrine fall
cons of olden days.
Twins Enjoy Sport
Two of Gates pals, John and
Frank Craighead, twins, and
both peregrines anc merlins
pigeon hawks. The latter was
the "ladye's falcon" of chivalry.
It, too, is a native bird.
Falconry has been the sport of
kings and commoners since the
beginning of civilization. The
ancient Persians, many centuries
before Christ, were devoted to
the sport.

Hospital.

Sport Of FalconrY

airy, the sport was restricted to
the kings and mobiles, each type
of hawk being given to certain
class. For example, the golden
eagle was reserved for kings and
emperors; the peregrine, for the
higher mobiles: the sparrow hawk,
for the clergy, and the really
useless kestral, for the COM
monerS.
Females Used for Hunting
The falcon is the female hawk,
either peregrine, merlin or gyr-
falcon. The male bird is known
as a tiercel and is not generally
used for hunting.
Birds taken from the nest as
fledglings are known as eyaS
hawks. Wild-caught, full-gr W n
birds are called haggards. The
Hollanders of olden times, where
the birds were caught during mi
grafton, termed them passage fal-
cons.
Methods of training the eyas
and haggard hawks are practically
the same. The training is called
manning" and starts either when
the adult bird is caught or when
the eyess are in full plumage.
How Birds Are Trained
At first soft leather hood is
put over the birds eyes. completely
binding it. The training hood
differs from the ones used later in
that it has no plume. A pair Of
jesses, short strips of leather, are
fastened around the birds legs.
just above the feet. A pair Of bells
are fastened to each jesse.
The jeSses are poined together
on a swivel which is attached to
leash and tied to either a percn
or the trainers wrist.
Thus equipped the falcon is
ready for a course of training
which leads to the time when the
bird will wait on (fly overhead
his master while hunting, return.
ing after the kill is made or wait
ing by the bird or rabbit until re-
captured.

IS UNDER
THAT Of OTHER
PROPOSALS
Tunnel South of White House
Opposed as of No Benefit
To Passengers

With the Public Utilities Com
mission and Peoples Counsel Will
liam A. Roberts involved in a
duel of words over Mr.. Roberts
rerouting brief, the Capital Tran
sit Company yesterday submitted
a new plan which would not
necessitate any new trackage and
would reroute street cars $473,-
500 cheaper than any other plan
submitted.
Company officials estimate
that the cost of their plan would
be $1,155,700 and urged that it
be put into operation as soon as
possible.
Mr.. Roberts completed his rec
concentrations to the PUG. and
issued a statement casting doubts
on the intentions of the commits
sion to improve street car service.
The street car company's plan
would retain the track in E
Street east of Fourteenth Street
N. w. and provides for direct
service between Fourteenth Street
and Colorado Avenue N. w. and
the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing.
Terming their plan an Inter
mediate" one, the transportation
officials stated:
GAS further study of riding
habits and riding needs of the
public develop, additional track
changes will be made and addi-
tiOnal new track constructed.
This conclusion is reached by
us not because the initial cost Of
this plan happens to be less than
that of any of the others, but
primarily because of our belief
that changing conditions will so
alter the situation as we see it
now that it would be manifeStly
unwiSe to expend money now for
track changes which may never
be required"
Commenting on the tunnel ad-
vocated by Mr.. Roberts, the COM
pany officials said that, after care
full study, they are of the opinion
that a tunnel underneath the
area south of the White House
would not improve street car
service or benefit passengers on
the line.

Cancellation of football games
between high schools in the inter.
high series does not affect games
to be played with teams outside
the league, DR.. Stephen E.
Kramer, assistant superintendent
Of schools, said today.
AS a result of this announce.
ment, plans went forward for six
more games this season.
Yesterdays decision by the five
principals of high schools here
to cancel all remaining games
in the inter-high series affected
three games.
No Petitions Expected
Principals of the five high
schools affected by the ruling
made yesterday said today there
was no evidence of demonstra.
tons against the order and that,
as far as they knew, no petitions
were being circulated by the
students.
DR.. Kramer pointed out that
the students can appeal to the
Board of Education for a final de-
cision of the matter, and that the
board, a supreme authority, could
override the cancellation order.
Some of the games with teams
not in the inter-high league will
be played in Washington. DR..
Kramer said the obligations con-
tracted by local high schools with
these outside teams could not be
repudiated, and that. therefore,
must be played. DR.. Kramer
added:
ut was the unanimous deci-
sion of the five principals that
all remaining games in the
inter-high series be cancelled.
It was not my personal action.
AS matter of fact, the first
suggestion of cancellation came
from the principals themselves.
BID FOR MORALE
"The order was the result
of a series of things which we
did not consider good for the
morale of the student body. If
we can't teach spOrtsmanship
and good feeling among players
and spectators, we can't have
football games.
81 believe the public generally
recognizes the justice of the
move we have made"
The cancellation order ended
the football season for Roosevelt
and Mckinley High schools.
Central, Easter and Western will
play two more games each with
teams outside the interhigh
series.
Six More Coming
Central will play Petersburg,
Va, and Columbia, S. c., high
schools. Eastern is scheduled
with Gonzaga and Washington
and Lee high schools. Western
will play Washington and Lee
and Gonzaga high schools.
The players are not so much
to blame as the unruly crowds
that witnessed the high school
games here, DR.. Kramer said. Be
cause the local stadia lacked
proper facilities for handling
large crowds, it was decided to
call off the scheduled games I'M
til some program is mapped out
whereby order can be maintained,
according to DR.. Kramer.

Contracts May Now Be Had BY
Those Who Failed To Get
Them In First Campaign

Farmers who failed to sign up
under the Wheat Adjustment Pro-
gram may do so by applying to the
County Agricultural Agent.
The wheat program was reopened
because requests for it were received
from farmers in nearly all the wheat
States who failed to sign up IN the
original campaign and who have ask
ed for another chance.
The reopening follows the policy of
the Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration of making cooperation pay
the farmer who cooperates. Because
of this policy, those who sign now
will be eligible for the final 1888 pay
ment, and whatever payments are
made in the 1884 and 1885, but will
not receive the first payment for 1888,
which has already been made in
practically every county.
Farmers who actually filed applica-
lions before January 1, but were I'M
able to complete contracts, can COM
plete them now and be eligible for
full 1888 payments.
