COUNTY To HAVE
1885 SURPLUS
Of $4,000

ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE,
Va, July 5.-A surplus Of more
than SOS, 900 is expected to be in
the Arlington county treasury
after the official audit for the
fiscal year ending June 80 has
been completed, it was announced
today by Elmer F. Newell, County
Auditor.
A surplus of $4,000 has been
carried over for several years and
this amount was increased Dy a
$4,000 surplus collected for the
fiscal year ending June, 1884.
The balance is accounted for
through the surplus in the year
Just ended.
This years surplus was more
than $4,000 at the close of bust
ness June /, and is expected to
be increased after business for
the month of June has been
audited, Mr.. Newell said.
PWA Loan Sought
Expenditure Of this surplus had
been expected to be made for an
addition to the present court
house, but since this action was
taken by the County Board it has
been decided to seek a PWA loan
for the project.
In event the PWA loan is OBJ
tanned it is expected that, in ad-
dition to building a two-story ex-
tension to the present building,
the old building will be complete
1y renovated. The total cost Of
the project then would exceed
100000.
The proposed extension would
extend the present end OF the
courthouse, now housing the
clerks office, so feet forward with
a two-story structure and also add
another story on the present one
story part of the building.
Board Room Plan
Renovation in the old building
would include modern plumbing
fixtures, painting, general repair
ing and provision of an official
room for the county board. This
room would be made over from
one Of the present offices which
would be moved to the new extern
sion.
Requirements would include
new benches in the County and
Circuit Court rooms and many
new modern office fixtures.
The new extension would house
many of the administrative offices
that are now overcrowded in the
old structure. Among h S e
would be the health office.
treasurer'S office and perhaps the
Commonwealth Attorneys and
County Managers offices.

High Court Holds
Pin Game Illegal

NEW YoRK.-The first high
court ruling on the legality of the
game of bagatelle. or the pin
game, was handed down when
the Appellate Division in Brook
lyn held that a game of the type
which elects tokens is a gambling
device and not a game of skill.
The court upheld Paul Moss,
commissioner of licenses, in re-
fuSing to issue a license for the
operation of the tables in a
Brooklyn amusement place. The
court did not pass on the legality
of all bagatelle games, but only
on the type known as the sports
man" Several tables of various
types, however, were placed at
the disposal of the court for ex-
Fermentation when the case was
argued several weeks ago.

New Band School

Lieut.. Charles Benter, conductor
of the United States Navy Band,
announces a new band school to
train musicians for the various
bands maintained on the large
battleships and at some naval
stations. Both the United States
Army and the United States
Navy have maintained schools for
training enlisted men in the me-
chanical and electrical trades,
but little attention was paid to
the training of bandsmen who
were admitted into the service
merely on examination.
While the service bands have
usually been able to obtain good
performers by this method, the
musicians were seldom we'll edu-
Gated in the theory of music. The
new band school is open to young
men between the ages of II and

interested will apply 70 Lieut..

Both the 1925 and 1929 peaks

largely responsible for the high

The mint also produced 68,500,-

Cuba, Colombia, Honduras, Mexi-

Venezuela. This also represented
a large increase. During the pre-

BY LEWIS ?. LAVE

OS SSININ NC n Y. June &
N A NAL am not only concerned
but deeply shocked 10 learn thai J dge
Brsmham. head of a minor league
base ball organization has assumed
such reactionary attitude in for
bidding the Albany club Of the Inter
national League to employ Edwin c.
alabama Pitts.
The Judge has stated that the best
interests of all will be served by
barring from organized base ball a
man who undoubtedly is destined TO
make q name for himself in the
athletic world and become a thor
oughly useful citizen
/ am reminded at this time that
the State of New York abolished the
use of striped suits for prisoners in
1910 However. it seems that. if every
one were to assume the same view
point as Judge Bramham. the striped
suit would be revived for men only
when they leave prison.
Society seems always to be con-
cerned about So-Called crime waves
and explains in no uncertain terms
that many released prisoners fail to
reorientate themselves and sometimes
return to prison for the commission
of another crime
And yet to what extent is society
responsible for that very condition? q?
Many business houses refuse to engage
former prisoner. Even our Govern
ment agencies very often will not give
him employment.
1t is ludicrOuS TO cOnCede that
citizens should ask for more stringent
laws to combat crime when they
simultaneously refuse to offer means
of livelihood to those who are per-
fectly willing to engage in honest en-
deavor. but are unable to do so.
Pitts came to Sing Sing six years
ago after having served in the United
States Navy for a period of three and
a half years. He committed a foolish
crime and thereby contracted a debt
to society, but he has repaid that debt
with interest. He has been a model
prisoner. and, as a result of my aSso-
citation with him. l would have no
hesitation whatever to post a bond
as security for his good behavior as a
citizen.
As a mainStay on the foot ball team
while at Sing Sing Pitts won the
admiration of such men as Lou Little,
coach of the Columbia University
foot ball team; Harry Won KerSberg
and Vic Kennard. former Harvard
gridiron stars; Judge John P. Eagan
of the Common Pleas Court of Pitts
burgh, and Jack Clinton. vice preSi-
dent of the Fisk Tire Co.. the latter
two having oficiated at games here
AS a track man and base ball player,
Pitts also showed unusual ability.
There is no doubt, however, that
Pitts excelled in the field of base ball
He has consistently batted over 500
and shows promise of developing into
an outstanding player in that sport.
1t would be coloSsally Unjust to break
up a career for a man who manifested
such ability and possessed such de-
termination to make good.
If Pitts is to be released from prison
with the feeling that he always must
wear the striped suit because of one
mistake in his life. how can he feel
but embittered against society? The
path of a released prisoner never is an
easy one. 1t should not be made more
difficult.
