Before a crowd of over 1000 spec

Gormley made his debut as a leather

danger of having its winning streak
checked by a tie.
GOrmley Proves Hero.
The fortunes of war pitted him
against another foot ball fullback, Bill
Rhoda. but the more experienced Nit
tany Lion had no defense for CORN

dropped TO the canvas for nine counts
while anxious Old Line supporters
went wild with joy.
Johnny won the first round from
the blond Rhoda by narrow margin
and then clinched the verdict and the
meet by flooring his foe in the second
and third rounds for nine counts.
1t was a narrow squeak for the
Terps, who broke even in a thrilling
double-header sports program as a
result of the triumph. On the basket

Public Whipping

TO the Editor Of The Times:

TO the Editor Of The Times:
It is amazing that in this day
and age, within few miles of the
National Capital, a court judge
should think of imposing a whip,
ping as punishment for a crime,
yet that happened just the other
day in Alexandria.
I can think of nothing more
brutal and more brutalizing than
the public whipping. It does the
whipped man no good and does a
great deal of harm to the young
and impressionahie who would
witness it.
This whipping which it was
proposed to give, but which, for.
tunately was abandoned, has no
countenance in the laws of Vir.

in order to avoid expenditure of
several hundred thousand dollars
to repair the Connecticut Ave. car
tracks, which the company said
would be expended for new BUSES
if the street car line we're discon-
tinued.
Fare Rate Factor
The question of rerouting and
rates of fare are important factors
in the bus-car change. Many
are of the opinion that, due
to the lower cost of bus operation,
the existing fare of 4 tokens for
80 cents should remain, and in.
clude any express service that
may be established. The company
proposes a 10-cent carfare on all
express buses.

Warns That the Poor
Will Be Soaked Too

To the Editor of The Times:
The persons of average means,
OF which I am one, should not be
deceived by the pending taxation
program of President Roosevelt.
The old talk about taxing the rich
for the benefit of the poor, and of
soaking the rich" is being heard.
That may appeal to some who
are situated as I am, but I haven't
any doubt in the world that this
taxation of wealth proposition
will in the end hit me and those
who are in the same position.
Suppose the Presidents pro
gram for breaking up big estates
went through. It wouldn't mean
a drop in the bucket so far as
meeting the deficit which Mr..
RooSevelt'S schemes are building
up. It might and probably would
destroy many big businesses which
now are giving employment to
thousands of people. If the aim
is to destroy those businesses we
ought to say so. If it is to bal
ance the budget then the Presi
dent should admit frankly that
the means he has chosen won't be
effective.
And he should further admit
that his attempt to impose these
tremendous taxes on the wealthy
is merely a sop to the little fellow
who later will have to bear the
burden of the foolish and eXtrava-
CANT experiments in Government
which he is making.
If the rich man gets it in the
neck today the poor man will get
it in the same place tomorrow.

International News Service
In a precautionary measure to
protect Americas vast gold re-
serves from any enemy that might
invade either coast, Uncle Sam
has decided to establish gold
warehouse in the center of the
Army post at Fort Knox, KY.
Plans for the construction of
huge vaults in this Army strong
hold 81 miles from Louisville were
disclosed by Treasury officials to-
day.
Congress to be Asked for Funds
Congress will be asked to ap-
propriate funds necessary for the
construction Of these vaults.
It is hoped to complete the
vaults by next year. AS soon as
they are completed, the major
portion of Uncle Sans gold hold
ings in the eastern seaboard area
will be transferred to the fortified
treasure house at Fort Knox.
From a military standpoint
these vaults will be considered
virtually impregnable.. In addi-
ton to the 1900 Federal troops
stationed at Fort Knox, includ-
ing a modernized cavalry unit,
the gold will have the added pro-
lection of the Midwest's natural
barriers.
Mountain Barriers
On the east rise the Allegheny
Mountains, through which any
invading army would have diff
cult task fighting its way. On
the west lie the Rocky Noun
tains, equally impregnable from
a strategic standpoint.
The United States holds more
than 5000 million dollars in gold
at present and since the Govern
ment took over all gold the
Treasury's policy has been to
transfer the yellow metal from
vulnerable coast cities to inland
areas.
