 member of the gang, called. That was last night. Both were seized. Miss McKeever is wanted on suspicion of helping Mais and Le- genza escape the Richmond death house, probably by smuggling wea- pons to, them, Frank Fay, agent in charge of the New York depart ment of justice office, said. The coup, the latest in 8 series of department of Justice victories over criminals in all parts of the country, was accomplished without bloodshed or violence of any sort. All the captives were surprised and arrested without 8 struggle. Fay did not detail the detective work that, after weeks of effort by dozens of agents, led finally to the capture. He would not divulge where the prisoners were held. The federal agents were-aided by New York and Philadelphia detec- lives in making the captures. Fay said that the gang had been responsible for three murders,
 many holdups. and one Kidnapping since Mais and Legenza escaped the death house.
 UC hluHdplMB VlCLAHl Wd6 w liam (Big BilD Weiss, Philadelphia paid $8,000 for his release, who was believed to have been murder ed by his kidnapers, but whose
 body has never been found. Betrayed His Mother Chicago, Jan 18-U.P.) - Ar
 thur (Doc) Barker, the stalwart
 and tough leader of the south
 vests most notorious gang, was
 accused to-day, without denial
 from His captors, of betraying his
 mother and brother in an effort to
 win clemency for himself. | Kate tMa) Barker and Fred
 Barker were killed in a gun battle
 with federal agents in Oklahoma,
 Fla, Wednesday. Arthur Barker | presumably provided federal au- I thorities with the information that
 resulted in them being slain. The outlaw chieftein had no op- portunity to comment on the re-
 port himself Despite official an-
 nouncement in Washington that he
 has been held here by federal agents since January, Chicago agents refused to admit they had him in custody. Presumably he is held in communicate in one of the secret cells of department of jus- tice headquarters in the loop bank CTS building.
 Belief that Barker was respon- sible indirectly for the deaths of his mother and brother arose from the fact that his arrest preceded the staying of the two by just eight days.
 District U. S. Attorney George F. Sullivan of St Paul said to-day he will ask that Barker be tried in April for the Kidnapping of Edward c. Bremen, St Paul financier who paid $200,000 for his freedom after being seized by gangsters in the
 Minnesota City one year ago yes- terday.
 Barker, according to Attorney
 General Homer S. Cummings. was | captured on the same night that Russell Gibson, another member of
 the Barker Karpis gang of Okla
 homa, was killed while attempting o escape federal agents. Two wo- men--possibly more-were taken at the same time.
 Reports said that either papers found in the gangs flat, or inform
 ation given by the captives. sent agents hastening to the little Flor ida town where the other Barkers
 were hiding.
 The last two days developments
 left only Alvan Karpis, bank rob- Der and gunman, among the Okla home gangs major members at
 large.

 MT Healey in asking that these two allegations be expunged said they were entirely too speculative and remote and not proper ele- ments of damage. He humorously cited the names of Acoustic Prod- ucts and American Founders stocks as examples in stating that the de- fendant with a brokerage office stock record, could select any stock around 1881 that began to rise, and claim because of lack of funds was unable to invest in it.
 Other lawyers in the court room smiled because it is commonly known that those two stocks did not rise.
 MT Upson claimed that the plaintiff was generous in asking only $25,000, for. he said, had the plaintiff the money and could he have invested it in McKesson & Robbins stock, for instance, a 1,500 per cent return would have result ed, on the investment.

single games on Sunday and Monday.
said today he had decided not to CAM
paign for q change in the regular
schedules.
i've given the idea some thought" /"
he said, but haven't notified head
quarters to place 1t before the joint
major league meeting in Chicago next
week and, therefore, SO far as I am
concerned, it will not be broached
there.
II may bring it up for discussion at
the National League meeting earlier
in the week at Chicago, but will not
request any definite conclusion"
If Breadon's idea were put into
practice, no games would be sched-
uled on Mondays and there would be
double headers every Sunday.
Under present league rules, syn
thetic Sunday double-headers, ar
ranged by moving UP Mondays games,
are permitted after June Is. Per-
haps more than any other club ir
either league, the Cardinals have been
doing that for the past several sea-

NJ ORE than a thousand COM
MI petitors played in the various
N women's golf events around
A Washington this year. A sure
sign Of the mounting interest in wom-
ems golf here, the tournaments of the
women's District Golf Association will
expand even more next year under the
program to be inaugurated by Mrs.
Ralph w. Payne, the new president Of
the organization.
BY way of contrast with the number
who played In the tournaments Of
1895. Susan Hacker, acting president
Of the association during the last half
Of the year, pointed out today that 20
years ago, when the first women's golf
organization was founded in Wa6hing-
ton, it took lot Of personal persuasion
to get out enough golfers 70 form a
flight Of 16.
The association has Just celebrated
its goth anniversary with the compile
ton of the most successful year in
golf among the fair sex, marked by is
tournaments, a comprehensive series
Of team matches and the largest line
up Of competitive events ever staged by
the women around washington.
The entry Of more than thousand
in the tournaments staged by the
women's association did not include the
list entered In the Middle Atlantic at
Congressional, nor in several other
tournaments staged at the end of the
season. In all probability there were
more than 1900 separate entries In
all the events, many Of which were
publications.

First Organized in 1918.

THE present women's association
dates back to 1928, when an or
ganization meeting held at the Willard
chose Mrs Harry A. Knox as president
of the organization.
The present active body dates back
to that meeting, but prior to that an
association had existed, composed
largely of woman golfers from Chevy
Chase, Columbia and Washington, the
three clubs where most of the golf
around the Capital was played in the
years prior to 1922.
This association was headed In its
first year-1915-by Mrs. Charles L.
Frailey Of Chevy Chase, and under its
sponsorship was staged the first wom-
ems District championship.
But since 1928 the growth Of the
organization has been marked by in
creasing interest IN women's golf, en~
larged entry lists and general growth
of the game among the feminine play
ers until today golf among the women
Of Washington is a major sport, with
a very large schedule, a series OF
championship tournaments and sea-
son running from mid-April until
early November
| Most of the interest centers around
| the District championship and the
interclub team matches. In the latter
phase of competition there is almost
certain to be a change in the method
Of play next year.
