to victory they used their roughness
to great advantage. During the
whole of the contest the M. & M.
guarding was terrible. The Cald-

during the first half. The score at
the end of the half was IA to
During the last half the Red and
White stepped out and got several
points, but the score was too great
against them and the game ended
20 to Is. The boys game started
out to be a good one as the guard
ing was close and the scoring even.
There was very little difference
between the two teams during the
first half. The score was to 9 in
favor of the Noble county boys.
But in the last the Caldwell
boys came back with rush to pile
up ten point lead that was never
threatened from then on. During
the entire last half, the Caldwell
boys cracked them in from any and
every place on the floor. They just
couldn't miss. 1t was certainly no
disgrace to be beat by team as
hot as they were. Score 31-17.

GRID STAR GIVES
GIRL BLOOD

Two Georgetown Uni ersity
football stars offered their blood
to a dying high school girl, but
only one of them was found to
have blood of the right type.
This was learned today when
Head Coach Jack Hagerty, of the
Georgetown University football
team, revealed that Don Gibeau,
19-year-old sophomore, was grant
ed a two-day "lay-off" to recover
from a blood TRANSMISSION.
The young student yesterday
went to Georgetown Hospital with
another 19-year-old sophomore and
member of the football team, Rob
ert Ferrara, to offer blood to Lou
ise Darcy, of the 1900 block of
Thirty-fourth st. N. w., student
at the Trinity High School.
Young Gibeau's blood matched
the girls, and he submitted to the
TRANSMISSION.
The girl, injured a few days
ago while en- route to church for
Lenten services, is in a critical
condition at Georgetown Hospital.

INQUEST

Still calm in his wait to face
charges of murder, his calm Dor.
dering closely on braggadocio, 16-
year-old Philip Zier remained in
an Eleventh precinct station cell
today.
An inquest into the death Of
John H. Gully, Fort Myer soldier,
who, young Zier has confessed he
shot while the latter was choking
his 19-year-old sister, will be held
at the morgue at 1890 tomorrow.
The sister, Mrs. Pauline Haven
ner, mother of a 3-year-old son
and estranged from her husband,
is being detained at the Women's
Bureau as a material witness
pending the inquest.
The shooting occurred in the
home of the brother and sister,
a little frame dwelling on the
banks of the Potomac River near
Georgetown. The soldier, accord
ing to the story of the pair, was
attempting to force his attentions
on Mrs. Havenner.

WAR DECLARED
ON DRUNKEN
DRIVERS
Liquor Control Board Asks
Revocation of Permits
And Jail Terms

Vigorous prosecution of drunken
drivers was urged today by
members of the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board in a report which
indicated a large increase during
1884 in the number of traffic &C
cidents caused by intoxicated per-
sons.
During 1884 there were 256 &C
cidents and seven traffic fatalities
attributed to drunken drivers In
comparison with 172 accidents and
one fatality in 1888.
Ask Jail Sentences
The board members stated:
"TheSe figures are, frankly,
diScOuraging. The mere fact
that the number of accidents
caused by drunken drivers Is
but a very small proportion of
the whole is beside the point.
The increase in the numbers Of
these cases indicates that some
strong corrective m aSures
should be used. Judging from
our own experience, revocation
of drivers licenses for long pc
riOds, and Jail sentences for
this OffenSe should be in order"
The liquor board also reported
that the number of minors ar
rested for intoxication had In
creased in 1884 over 1888.
Last year, it was revealed, SOC
persons between the ages Of II
and 81, and four persons under
the age of II, were arrested for
intoxication. In 1888 there were
383 minors arrested for drunken
ness.
Search for Source
These statistics, the board char
acterized as a challenge" and
announced that it has ordered
the police to investigate the
source of liquor supply in every
such arrest. George w. Offutt,
chairman of the board, declared:
"The board realizes only too
well that its duty is to protect
the children at any COST"
Covering the first year Of &C
tual operation of liquor dispensers
in the District, the board answered
that there has been a gradual re-
duction in the number Of arrests
due to intoxication in the last six
months. The board stated:
"The present method of dis
pensing alcoholic beverage in
the District of Columbia is yet
in the experimental stage. We
cannot now predict the perma-
nent economic and social effects
of repeal. There is much yet to
be done in the way of study and
education"

PROTESTS HALT.
PLAN To TEAR
DOWN POOLS
Parks Office Rescinds Order
To DemoIish Municipal
Swimming Tanks

A deluge Of protests today
caused the District Recreation
Commission to rescind its order
for demolition of two free muni-
cipal swimming pools at Seven
teenth Street and Constitution
Avenue N. w.
The pools will remain intact
until Congress appropriates funds
for construction of another muni-
cipal swimming pool in the vicin-
ity, it was indicated. Construction
of two pools has been authorized
by Congress but no funds have
been available.
c. Marshall Finnan, superin.
tendent of National Capital
Parks, and a member of the
commission, said bill is being
drafted providing $150,000 for
construction of one large pool.
Ready to Start Work
Workmen had been ordered
to start today tearing down the
old buildings which houses the
pools and already had moved
their wrecking equipment to the
site when the order to delay the
work was issued.
In issuing the order Mr.. Fin
nan unheld the action of the
commission, declaring that the
old pools were a public health
menace in addition to being an
eyesore in the area between the
Washington Monument and Lin
coin Memorial.
Mr.. Finnan pointed out that
only recently one of the pools
had caved in and that neither.
pool was equipped with filtra-
tion or chemical treatment
devices.
Figures available at the Dis
trict Building today showed
that approximately $4,000 persons
use hte pools annually. They
have been operated by the Dis
trict Fairgrounds Department for
several years and have been the
only municipal pools serving the
area.
Sites Selected
Several sites already have been
considered by Mr.. Finnan's office
for construction of the new pool,
he said today.
Another point in favor of the
pools demolition, as set forth by
Mr.. Finnan, was that their loca-
ton will be partly on the site
of the flood dixie which the U. S.
engineers office proposes to erect
in West Potomac Park for pro-
lection of public buildings in that
area.
He said, under the present dixie
plan, a fill will be necessary at
that point.

Hundreds Rush to Buy
New Stamp Issue

stampeded the post office before
noon today to obtain the coveted
stamps.
The stamps were sold singly
at the regular windows on the
first floor in the Benjamin Frank
lin station, and in full sheets Of
the 20 different issues at the
phtlatelic agency on the sixth
floor.
Post Office officials estimate
that before the sales cease, which
will probably be in six months, a
business of $1,00O,00O will have
been accomplished.
Before the stamps were placed
on sale, mail orders totaiing $780,.
900 had been received. Tcdays
business is expected to exceed
100000.
The force in the philatelic
agency, which is usually IS, was
doubled today. The sets of full
sheets on sale at the agency are
priced at $1,000.

CHESTER L. LANKFORD

A steady stream of stamp col
lectors from all parts of the ma
ton poured into the new Post
Office Building on Pennsylvania
Avenue today as one of the great
est stamp sales in the history Of
the country was opened.
Lines of several hundred per-
sons formed at 8 a. m. when 20
new issues went on sale. Scores
of persons, many with folding
camp stools, had waited all night
in the Benjamin Franklin postal
station on the first floor of the
building, intent upon being first
to obtain the stamps.
Other lines formed at tn e
philatelic agency on the sixth
floor, where the stamps were sold
in full sheets.
Special Trains Required
Special trains with bargain ex.
cursion rates brought many of the
collectors into the capital. Stamp
dealers brought staffs Of employees
with them, set up headquarters in
hotels, and worked frantically
throughout the day to fill orders
for ''first day covers" mailed out
of the capital.
The new stamps are duplicates
of those distributed several months
ago by Postmaster General James
A. Farley to President Roosevelt,
Cabinet officers, and a few friends.
Mr.. Farley paid full value for
the stamps and made gifts of
them to the chosen few. When
some of these stamps found their
way into the hands of dealers, a
storm of protest arose over what
became known as "Farley's
blunder." The Postmaster Gen
eral grinned today when informed
the "blunder" would net a huge
profit to the department.
Buyers BY Thousands

more than $500 persons had

DISTRICT NEEDS
LAID BEFORE
SENATORS
Copeland Supports Board In
Appeal for Continuance of
Character Education

Local school authorities were to
appear before the Senate District
Appropriations subcommittee to-
day to plead for restoration in
the bill of school funds stricken
from next years appropriations
by the House.
Probably one of the most urgent
pleas will be for restoration Of the
item for continuation of the char
acter education program in the
local schools for another year.
Copeland For 1t
Senator Royal S. Copeland Cd,
Of New York, member Of the
subcommittee, was the sponsor Of
the character education program
last year, and he already has as
serted that he will make every
possible effort to have the plan
continued. The House refused the
money for continuance of the pro.
gram.
Senator Copeland will be joined
in his efforts by the school heads
who will appear before the sub.
committee today, since they have
made known their definite ap.
proVal of the project,
It is the contention of the New
Yorker that through the character
education program in the schools
the children will be guided away
from paths which might lead them
to become criminals.
Avoid Larger Outlay
He points to the enormous ex-
penditures made for curbing and
prosecuting criminals in this coun.
try. and asserts that with this
small expenditure made while the
children are in school much of
the larger outlay will be avoided
later,
The hearings on the bill prob.
ably will run through this week
and take part of next week, with
a report on the measure expected
about a week from now.
Most of the witnesses yet to be
heard are representatives of civic
and business organizations, who
desire to lay before the subcom.
mittee their claims for various
projects.
