D. {. HEADS GET
BLAME FOR
LIGHT LACK
Engineer Says Funds
Are Available Now
For illumination

Responsibility for not restoring
District street lighting to full ca.
pacity Immediately was placed
clearly on the shoulders Of the
District Commissioners today.
Funds to operate a full quota Of
81 900 lamps are now available,
and there Is no reason financially
why the lights should not be turned
on, it was asserted. -
Restoring the lighting to full
capacity will do much to correct
the situation which saw fatal traf-
fic accidents increase 80 per cent
in 1885.
These were the highlights
brought out in testimony by
Walter E. Kern. electrical engineer
for the District, before the House
1sub-comitsee investigating traffic
conditions.
Lighting Cut Ordered
BY order Of the Public Utilities
Commission for the District. Kern
said, electrical departments had to
reduce the cost Of lighting $207 900
in three years since 1892. The
last reduction, ordered in Febru-
ary, called for o further slash Of
$7l 900.
Quoting from his letter to Direc-
tor Of Traffic william A. Van
Duzer, Kern showed that these
reductions bore q direct relation
to the number of fatal traffic
accidents on unlighted District
streets in I935.
OF 120 accidents in which one or
more people were killed last year,
a occurred on streets where the
lighting had been reduced to save
money.
New rates, which went into
effect February 8, will enable the
District to save about 10 per cent
on its light bill, which was
$699, $50 for 1885.
Offsets Reduction
This saving offset almost exactly
the $71 900 reduction ordered.
After discussion of the made
quacieS of hand-operated sema,
phore traffic boxes, in which
Representative Ruben T. Wood
CD of Missouri called them
''handstands and bird cages" the
committee decided to postpone
further hearing until February
"a, when Major Ernest w. Brown
and members of the Police De-
partment will be invited to testify.

In the front rank Of hunting
dogs who are not supposed to
catch and kill game which they
follow is the pointer.
This most popular of upland
hunting dogs was imported from
Spain into England as early as
1900. Probably the breed has been
developed through a cross between
the extremely slow moving, cum
berSome and slow thinking Span
ish dog and the short-haired
hound found in the south of Eng
land. No strain used for hunting
quail, grouse and cartridges has
been more successful and stamped
its virtues more definitely in the
hearts Of bird dog lovers in this
country today than this famous
canine.
He is one of the most beautiful
Of all our sporting dogs, dividing
with the various breeds of settlers
the admiration Of all hunters pro-
ficient in handling the gun. He
has a clearly chiseled head, broad
muzzle and thin ears lying close
to the cheek, not to mention a
deep chest in front of body sug-
costing strength and solidneSs. AS
matter of fact, the perfect
pointer-combine constitutes a liv-
ing piece of canine structure.
Although the facts concerning
his family tree are extremely
clouded, the pointer is a dog de-
veloped by the English Of which
they should well be proud. Point
ers should weigh between 40 and
so pounds, depending on their sex.
Quality and symmetry is most es-
Sential in this breed, because a
well-balanced dog in all points is
preferable to one of several out
standing good qualities. In color,
white should predominant with
black, liver, or lemon distributed
in almost any fashion over the en-
tire body.

Stranded at Start

Our first professional appear.
ance was in a town, believe it or
not, called Lemon, S. D. A small
time vaudeville agent booked us
into a theater in Red Dog, Mont.
When Charlie and arrived there,
we found the theater locked and
abandoned. We had but $40 be-
tween us. The clerk of the Red
Dog Hotel told us of the theater
in Lemon and advised us to tele-
phone the manager of the Lemon
Theater and ask for an engage
ment.
II can use you for half-week,"
the manager advised us over the
wire, but you've got to get here
three days ahead of time and print
handbillS. Then you entertain in
the saloon here for three days be-
fore opening in the theater to get
the folks interested" We promptly
agreed. And you've got to be able
to put on three acts" This last
gave us pause for moment, but
we agreed to all conditions.
The manager met us at the train
and escorted us to the saloon.
Charlie played the piano and I
sang. We went over well with the
rough crowd and they passed the
hat for us. We discovered later
that We had really given an audi
ton. We worked there for three
days and then opened at the
theater, presenting the prescribed
three acts. First I sang, then
Charlie improvised on the piano.
For the third act we did a black
face. We made 500, a small for
tune.

STAGE AND COUNTY
FAIRS CALL OWENS
Athletes to Take One That Offers
Most Money Regardless of
Amateur Status.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 2.-The
next move in deciding how Jesse
Owens is going to cash in on his
Olympic fame is up to Marty For
kns. his newly-appointed manager
The dusky sprint and broad jump
champion, accompanied by Coach
Larry Snyder Of Ohio State. came to
New York yesterday and signed a
contract intrusting Owens future to
Fcrkins. He will fulfill any agree
ments the theatrical promoter makes
for him.
So far there are two possibilities,
Forkins said, one that Jesse appear in
vaudeville for 10 weeks at the rats
of $4,000 a week, the other for him
to make the county fair and exposi-
ton circuit as a runner, competing
probably against Eddie Tolan" For
kins said he would decide within 48
hours which offer to accept and that
Owens would begin his professional
career by September IA.
Owens agreed on the idea of ac-
cepting the offer that promises to
bring in the most money regardless
of the possibility of saving his anna
teur status. Although he pointed out
that Charlie Paddock had appeared
on the stage without forfeiting his
standing as an amateur, Snyder said
he thought it unlikely the Western
Conference would accept Owens as an
amateur even if he only appeared in
vaudeville.

Whitehill Wins Tenth, 5-3.

JOHNNY STONE touched off the
Washington scoring in the sec
ond inning by singing. Sington then
stepped up and drove Johnny to third
with another single, Stone scoring a
moment later on Cecil Travis infield
out.
In the sixth Buddy Lewis opened
with single and moved up when
Stone walked after Kuhel's pop out.
Here Sington Dashed another single,
scoring Lewis and chasing Stone to
third, from where he scored on Travis
long fly. This made it 30.
Not until the seventh were the
Browns able to make any headway
against Whitehill. who had held them
to two hits. Then a single by Bell
and double by West cut the count
to 81. In their half of the frame.
however, the Griffs scored two more
runs on hits by Chapman. Lewis and
Kuhel and an error by Rollie HENS
ley. Thereafter it was just case of
protecting the lead.
Lary's single started Whitehill's
only tough frame-the eighth. Cliff
then walked, Solters singled Larry
home, and Bell drove across with a
fly to Stone. Here was where Mihalic
scooped up Vests smash and ended
the uprising.

Fearful of Davis,

TERRY apparently realized that
with Davis in there tossing them
up the Giants chances weren't par
ticularly bright. but that if any other
Cub hurler was pitching they were,
for the Giants have found the rest
of the Chicago elbowers surpris-
ingly easy in the series.
Terry's idea apparently was to put
Manager Charley Grimm on the spot
and virtually force him to remove
Davis. The thing was simple enough.
In the Cubs fourth inning, the first
two men up were walked in hurry.
This would have brought up Davis,
but Terry relied on Grimm to do the
logical thing and yank him for a
pinch hitter.
Grimm did, and a Chicago run re-
suited, but Davis was out. In the next
inning the Giants showed him how
much they thought of his relief, Bill
Lee. by banging him and two other
Cub throwers for four runs to put the
game on ice.
