SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
BUDGETS DISCUSSED
Hope for Successful Season Is
Expressed at Meeting of
Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors Of the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra Associa-
ton met yesterday afternoon TO dis
cuss budgets. Leland Harrison, pres
ident, told the directors he believed
the success of the last three seasons

ira appeared a permanent part OF the
Capital Season.
Harrison outlined the orchestra's
schedule, which includes series OF
three concerts in Baltimore In addi-
ton to % more concerts scheduled
here. The first concert of the sea
son was given Sunday afternoon be-
fore an enthusiastic audience that oc-
cupied every seat in Constitution Hall.
Harrison said the orchestra started
its fourth season with excellent pros
poets and that he felt it was now on
its way to permanency. He paid trib-
ute to the members Of the board who
have devoted their time and means
to furthering the interests of the or
chestra. He also said it was crafty
ing 10 know that Washington now had
an orchestra that is rated by COM
petent critics as one Of the best In the
country.

District Will Demand Rea-
sonabIe Figures in Buy
ing Properties.
TOUR OF INSPECTION
MADE BY OFFICIALS
Beginning of Work on First
Project Will Be Determined
After Surveys.

Prices sought by owners Of alley
dwelling properties will be a guiding
principle in the decisions by officials
in development of the alley clearance
program, it was stated today by John
Ihlder. executive director of the au-
thority named by President Roose-
velt to administer the Capper- Norton
act
A determination Of what will be the
future usefulness of the properties to
be acquired will have great weight in
planning their conversion into better
places, he said
Ihlder and Commissioner Melvin c.
Hazen, chairman of the alley author
ity, yesterday made personal inspec-
ton Of about a dozen of the alley
dwelling sections, preparatory to
launching the program, for which
S500000 now is available as a revolv-
ing fund. They were accompanied by
Edward A. Dent, District surveyor.
Ihlder's statement, issued after the
trip was concluded, was taken to
mean that the authority will tolerate
no price gouging. He said:
There are more than 200 inhab-
tied alleys. So there is a wide choice
in picking those with which to begin.
The lower the price the better the
owners chance to sell. There are
persons who think that when Repre-
sentative Palmisano inserted in the
law a provision that the price should
not exceed 80 per cent above the as
SeSSed value he meant that we should
pay 80 per cent above the assessed
value He did not We are looking
| for properties below the assessed
| value. The lowest offers will have
| strong appeal.
when a square containing an in
habited alley has been redeveloped
| it must have a market. In other
words. the authority has been given
a revolving fund and we must make
| it revolVe In the course OF its
revolutions it is designed to convert
| liabilities into assets. In order to
do that we shall need to draw on
all available talent.
While at the beginning We have
a wide choice of starting points, more
| than 200, as We near the end of our
| lob the authority will have another
| advantage due to a provision OF the
law that prevents the use of alley
buildings as dwellings after 1914. So
income Con them will stop (then)
unless a new use can be found.
I'VE hope and believe that a care
full study of some of the squares will
show that it is practicable to do a
good minor-street job, and end with
out loss. For, of course, If we incur
a deficit on each square our little
appropriation will not last long"
Ihlder said it was impossible yet
to say where the first project would
be started After studies have been
made on about a dozen different To-
cations. one or two probably will be
selected for initial work, he said.

ALLEGED GAMBLER
SEIZED At LAUREL
Wilbur Dorsey Had Been
Sought Seven Months on
Gaming Indictment.

A seven months search for Wilbur
Dorsey, 35, alleged proprietor of
Washington gambling establishment,
was ended yesterday with his arrest at
the Laurel, Md, race track.
Dorsey. who had been sought by
Washington police since his indict-
ment March 21 by the District grand
jury on gaming charges, was taken
into custody by deputies of the United
States marshal's Office in Baltimore
as he watched the races. Later in the
day he was released under 81 500 bond
to await a preliminary hearing in Bal
timore next Tuesday.
The arrest was made on a fugitive
warrant sworn out in Baltimore by
Lieut.. George NJ Little of the District
vice squad. The paper was served by
Deputy MarshalS W. H. King and v. A.
Ekas of Baltimore.
Escaped Saturday.
Lieut.. Little and another member
of the vice squad had waited for Dorsey
at the Maryland track last Saturday
when it was learned that he was to
appear there. Dorsey, however, ap-
parently was tipped off that he was to
be trapped and left the track after
getting as far as the gate.
Dorsey, who was said by police to
have been the proprietor of gambling
house in the 900 block of Ninth street,
which was raided February 27, is be-
lieved to have been the first alleged
operator of gambling establishment
indicted here without actually being
arrested. Dorsey was not in the place
when it was raided and 81 patrons
were arrested. but police said they
found evidence that he was the pro-
prietor.
The vice squad had raided numer-
Gus District gambling houses in an
attempt to apprehend Dorsey. In a
recent raid in the 1900 block of E
street, police said they believed he
escaped by means of a knotted rope
found dangling from third-story
window.
Never Convicted.
Police said Dorsey has long been
prominent in the underworld of the
Capital, but he has never been con-
Ncted on a gambling charge. In
January, 1881, he was acquitted by a
District Supreme Court jury on an in
dictment alleging violation of the
gaming laws. He was released after
a dramatic trial featured by the
transportation of the jury in an ar
mored car, as precaution against
possible violence.
Lieut.. Little said Dorsey was ar
raigned yesterday before United States
Commissioner j. Frank Supplee in
Baltimore. His extradition to Wash
ington was asked.

to the Commissioners, as means Of
keeping pace with the growth Of the
institution.
He asked the employment Of an
additional physician. resident dentist,
3 male nurses. 81 additional guards,
clerk and landscape gardener.
He also urged the city heads to estab
liSh a commissary Office
The average daily population of
the reformatory during the year end

reported. At the beginning Of that
year there we're 1,149 at the insti-
tuition, and during the year 587 new
inmates we're received.
The value Of a comprehensive parole
plan was stressed by the official. More
than twice as many men were released
on parole as were released condi-
tionally, but the terms Of release were
violated more than twice as frequently
by the latter than by those paroled,
he said.
The 1877 men paroled earned s31,-

leased conditionally earned but S2,l6l,

.HITLER'C FRIEND
 HAD CLOSE CALL
Hermann GOering Badly Injured When Auto
 Crashed Truck

Munich, Germany, Aug 15.- (UP)--Hermann Goering, premier of Prussia and minister of avia- tion, recuperated at his country home at Obersalzburg to-day after 0 narrow escape from death when his motor car collided at high speed with a motor truck. Goer- ing's car was wrecked and he suffered an injured back and cuts about the head and legs. He was operated on at Rosenheim and then taken in another car to his home. Reichsfuehrer Adolph Hit Ter visited him at a. m. to-day and found him weak and in pain but recovering.
 Goeoring, a wartime aviation ace, was driving from Munich for Obersalzburg. Between Feldkir- chen and Bad Aibling the road runs through woods, and is mar row, hilly and full of curves. He rounded a curve to find a private car racing toward him on the wrong side of the road, trying to pass truck. Goering tried at first. to brake his car, but be- lieving that his only chance lay in passing between the approach ing car and the. truck, he went on. His Mercedes ripped along the truck from end to end. Its left side was almost completely torn away.
 Dr Seltsam told the United Press there was no reason for anxiety regarding Goering, that his wounds consisted of contusions of the back and cuts on the face.
