An addition to Washingtoniana!
The first circus that ever came
to Washington was way back in
1919, not long after the British
took the National Capital in the
War of 1912.
The fact that washington saw
it's first circus at that time has
been established by Melvin D.
Hildreth, well-known Washington
attorney, who devotes the greater
part of his leisure time to the col
lection of circus data and research
in the beginning and early history
of the big tent.
Circuses are Mr.. Hildreth's
hobby. His office in the Evans
Building is full of pictures and
prints of early tents ana perform
ers and calliopes and all other
things that make circuses the joy
of every child in the world. In
his home at 4512 Lowell st. N. W.,
Mr.. Hildreth has an enormous col
lection of books, progra
heraldS, route books, dating as far
back as 1884.

investigation in the Second pre-
cinct station today because Police
man Harold H. Hodge is a light
sleeper.
Policeman Hodge, who is 38,
was off duty, and was sleeping in
his home at 1909 Park Rd. N. w.,
when he was awakened by the
sound of someone trying to force
bars from the window of a chain
store at 3400 Thirteenth st. N. w.
Hodge took his service revolver
and went out to investigate. He
said he found Brown breaking
into the store, and called upon
him to surrender. Hodge said the
man refused and a fight started
in which Brown was shot in the
right arm and Hodge injured his
right ankle.
Brown, who lives in the 100
block Columbia Rd., was taken to
Freedmen's Hospital and Hodge
went to Emergency, where it was

CITIZENS EYE
ELEVATORS
BY A. J. DRIsCOLL

The Friendship Citizens Asso-
citation last night urged thorough
inspection by the Engineer Com
missioner's office of every So
called full automatic or semi
automatic elevator in the Dis
trict, to determine their safety
or whether the Building InSpec-
tors office has in any manner
been lax.
Members of the association re-
ferred to the recent death of a
13-year-old boy who apparently
was caught between the door and
shaft of an elevator Of the push
button type.
In adopting a resolution by
Miss Gertrude w. Hollinger, the
association voted to st a n d as
sponsor for an educational move
ment among District residents
for maintenance of Gle amer
streets, and urged a more rigid
enforcement of regulations gov
erning ash and trash collections.
Lieutenant man Of the
Eighth precinct said the trouble
was with the people, themselves,
in not providing proper trash
receptacles.
Asserting that the failure Of
the traffic department to COM
ply with a request made a few
months ago for traffic lights at
Wisconsin Avenue and Fessenden
Street was largely responsible
for several accidents recently at
the intersection, the group will
renew efforts to get the lights.
In the meantime it was recon-
mended that speed be reduced
from 80 to % miles an hour
between the District line and Van
Ness Street.

Resolutions were adopted re-
questing the Commissioners to
provide a paid supervisor for the
Jannay School Fairgrounds after
school hours between and 6
p. m.
Another resolution requested
the District highway department
to open Forty-Second Street for
vehicular traffic between Nebraska
Avenue and Yuma Street.
The association gave indorse-
ment to a resolution received from
the Citizens Forum Of Columbia
Heights, urging the removal of
Representative Blanton from the
Craftsmanship Of the subcom-
mittee on appropriations for the
District.
A proposal credited to Commits
sioner Hazen advocating a 1-cent
increase in the gasoline tax was
referred to the executive COM

meeting.
New members elected were
George T. Tumbo, James H. Poore

held in the Jannay School, with

EMPLOYMENT
INCREASING

ALEXANDRIA, Va, April 2.
Approximately $50 laborers will be
given work in Alexandria city dur
ing the next few weeks, according
to an announcement made today
by j. William May, manager of the
local public employment office.
Employment of these men will
be made chiefly on public works
and building construction projects
which are now getting under way.
Sharp increases in the employ
ment Of men in virtually every Sec
ton of the State will likewise be
made during the next few weeks,
it was announced by the Virginia
State Employment Service.
Unemployed persons in Alexan-
dria and other parts Of Northern
Virginia were today urged to reg
lister at the local office here at the
earliest moment, as employers are
becoming more and more accus-
toned to the practice of calling on
the local office to secure help.
More than TOO persons were
given employment, many of them
permanent, through the local of.
flee, from october to March, &C.
cording to figures recorded in Mr..
Mays office.
Many Of the men to be employed
in Alexandria will be given work
on several sewer and road con-
struction projects that are being
launched by the city. Assurance
that local men will be given pref
erence on these projects is another
point advanced by Mr.. May as the
necessity Of registering immedi-
atelY.

TAX
!. BILL SENT TO
CONFERENCE

ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 2.
Maryland faced another day Of
exhausted relief funds today as
the house Of delegates last night
refused to back down from its
stand opposing a senate bill i'm
posing a scent gallon tax on
whisky and a tax Of 81 a barrel
on beer.
The revenue bill yesterday was
shunted from the senate to the
house and back again as neither
body would recede from its stand:
A conference committee started
meeting early today.
Churchmen Flay Assembly
The general assembly was taken
severely to task last night in a
telegram received from Arch
bishop Michael j. Curley, Bishop
Edward T. HelfenStein and Rabbi
Morris l.. Lazaron, Of Baltimore.
The telegram. signed by the
three churchmen, accused the
legislature of being under the in
fluence Of:
"Cheap political trickery, sim
lister trading, the evil presence
of selfish groups and AFRO
CANT special interests"
-, Reception of the telegram
brought the sharpest debate Of
the session on the floor of the
House. Speaker Emanuel Cor
fine said the House had done
more for the needy than the
Senate.
Dispute on Liquor Tax
The House has amended the
Senate bill to cut the floor tax
on whisky from five to two and
one-half cents and the levy On
beer from 81 to so cents a
barrel. Another amendment cuts
the amusement tax from 10 to l
per cent but fixes a sliding tax
ranging from five to Is cents on
passes. The House also adopted
a bill taxing utilities gross in
comes without allowing them to
pass it along to the consumer.
Another house bill provides q
tax of 2 per cent on all in
comes originating in the State
of Maryland.
The senate is dead set against
any slash in the liquor and beer
levieS, and IA of the 20 members
have signed an agreement not
to vote for any relief measure
which does not embody the levieS
as passed by the senate.
Reed Bill Killed
After the grand inquest COM
mittee had voted yesterday to
severely ,censure James j. Reed,
Baltimore liquor lobbyist for his
part in a row with Delegate Leo
C.. Gerahty, Reed offered a writ
ten apology to the house.
In the late hours last night
the bill for which Reed was
lobbying-the single liquor, license
for Baltimore-waS killed by the
house by a vote of 81 to 80.
Both houses recessed last night
to meet at noon today at which
time the reports of the confer
ence committees will be received.
The special session must end to-
night at midnight.

To Find Total Fund
Completed Entirely

The campaign of the congregation
of the First Baptist church to raise
slightly more than $1,000 to lift the
