GRAND JURORS
TO INVESTIGATE
wendell CASE

CLINTON, N. j., April 4 U.N.S.)
LAS q matter of course" Prose
cutor Anthony M. Hauck, jr., of
Hunterdon county, will present
to the April grand jury the case
of Paul H. Wendell, disbarred
Trenton lawyer charged With the
kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby
in a warrant sworn out late yes
terday by Mrs. Anna Haupt-
mann, the young prosecutor said
at his home today.
Hauck, original prosecutor in
the Lindbergh case, refused to
discuss execution of Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann for murder of
the baby.
The Wendell cae. Hauck said,
will go on the grand jury's cal
endar and take it's regular turn"
before that body.
Meantime, the prosecutor ex-
planned, Justice of the Peace
George Webster, of Pennington,
who issued the warrant for Mrs.
Hauptmann, may dismiss the
charge a1Cer q nearing or counsel
for Wendell may go before the
Supreme Court on a writ of habeas
corpus to determine whether there
is probable cause to hold the for
mer Trenton attorney for the
grand Jury.
The kidnapping charge itself,
Hauck said. is outlawed by the
statute of limitations. He added:
"Of course, a murder charge
would be another matter en-
tirely. But no murder is charged
In the present complaint as I
understand it,"
outside Of presenting the case
to the grand jury in regular
fashion, the prosecutor said, he
will make no move in the Wendell
matter.

SPANISH KING
IN CONFERENCE.

NICE, France, April 4 GN.sJ.
Former King Alfonso of Spain
held a secret family conference
at a hotel here today to decide
whether to issue a manifesto to
Spain warning against the Red
evil"
The question whether Alfonso
should abdicate his claim to the
Spanish throne in favor of the
Infanta Juan, Alfonso's youngest
living son and heir presumptive
to the throne, also was dis
cussed. Don Juan'S two surviving
brothers renowned their claim to
the throne when they married.
Should Alfonso abdicate his
claim, a desperate effort would
probably then be made to re-
establish the Bourbons on the
Spanish throne.

TRENTON, N. j., April 4 GIN.
SHOW that it's all over, now
that Bruno Hauptmann is only a
name in the past, there still re-
mains to those who remember
three spectral figures outstanding
in the tragic Lindbergh kidnap-
murder case.
OF these three apparitionS, now
beclouded in death, the one whose
face and name is linked indelibly
in the minds OF many is Violet
Sharp, maid in the Englewood
IN. j. home of the Dwight Nor
rows.
A Child Of Shame
Violet, child of shame, tortured
by her past and perhaps obsessed
by what sharp minds might learn,
committed suicide as State police
waited to question her for the
fourth time.
Where had she been the night
of March /? She had been out all
night. She knew that. The police
knew it. But what had she done

Near Title

Cavalry Fellows are getting
nearer the championship of the
Southeastern Circuit polo tourna'
ment every day. In fact, from the
looks of events, the team will rep
resent the Southeastern Circuit in
the championships at Cleveland
next month.
Yesterday the Fellows defeated
the War Department Whites, II to
8, at VISIT Potomac. The boys had
to overcome a five-goal handicap,
but they did, thanks to the Sensa-
tional play of Capt. Don Galloway,
who scored seven goals.
One other game was played yes
terday. The Quantico Marines
triumphed over the Fauquier-Lou-
doun Four, to4. This game
found the Marines taking advan-
tage of their two-goal handicap.

Cont. from First Sports Page)
Furr's vaunted right. Whenever
FUR let his chief weapon fly, how.
ever, Ross managed to either move
in on Phil and get inside the blow,
or be away from it, often taking
it on the shoulder or forearmS.
Barney lived up to his reputa-
ton for being a two-handed little
champion who throws everything
he has into his work. He extended
himself often enough to demon
strate his unquestioned class, yet
refused to make an utter novice
out Of FUR, which might have
resulted had Fur not stood his
ground nicely or had Ross been
overzealouS in his own behalf in
city which he knew had taken
FUR into its fistic affections.
Ross is by no means a single
track fighter. He alternates his
attack to the body and head, shifts
naturally and effectively, breaks
into flurries of whitehead and
then Spars along for an interval
before again turning on the heat.
Ross Right Dangerous
He hooks to the body with either
hand, and he hooks hard. Then
he shifts his attack to the face,
unhanding his foe with a left and
following through with hard rights
carrying a message of destruction.
1t was strictly stand-up fight,
the pair meeting toe to toe. with
Ross circling continuously, to the
diSmay of his harassed foe.
Such tactics nullified Furr'S
superior height and reach, as the
maneuvering of Ross kept Furr in
poor position to set himself for
attack.
The crowd was one Of the most
complimentary evidences on rec.
ord that washington is a discern
ing fight town and will go to see
quality matches.

card kept the throng entertained
and contented until the piece de

Inc Teams mVOIVeQ are ace az
gregationS from the Boys Club
and Columbian Leagues. The lat
ter has held the spotlight in all
the discussion thus far, chiefly be-
cause the team from that circuit
triumphed in last years contest,
4 to 3.
But this season the Boys Club
youngsters believe they have a
great chance. At any rate, they've
been preparing diligently for the
past few days in order to be in
perfect coordination by the time
the classic" commences.
Entire League
Three players from IL teams
have been selected to represent
the league. They'll be on the field
from the Gibson Grays, the Boys

combined team. They are Her
man Duman, athletic director OF
the Northeast Boys Club, and Bob

Bill Swanson, shortstop, and Don

Thriller in 1885
The game was of the thriller
type in 1885. The teams battled
3 to 3 until the ninth inning. Then
in the last half the Columbians
put over the marker which decided
the issue.
O'Brien, first up, singled. He
moved to second on Lagos sacrl-
flee hit. A few moments later ne
scored when Connolly, shortstop
of the Boys Club, fumbled VIII
sons grounder and threw wild
over first base.
Getting back to the list OF
players, the big list below IS fully
supported by Charlie Reynolds,
athletic director of the Boys Club
of washington, who has seen every
youngster in his league play this
year. He holds the same belief as
the boys that the Boys Club ALI
stars will be the winner.
