All Teams Stronger.

EOR two years the Congressional
team has been the dark horse in
the matches. Last year the club had
strong team, but Chevy Chase nosed
them out over the last half of the
team schedule. But this year all the
teams are stronger and the battle for
the top spot has been one of the
keenest on record in the team
matches.
The matches today are the sixth
on the schedule and leave the first
teams with only one contest to play.
Congressional undoubtedly will top
the first team standings at the close
Of today's matches, leaving the issue
to be settled on June Is, when Con-
gressional meets Chevy Chase at
Manor, with the title hanging in the
balance.
Two recent additions to the Con-
gressional team have greatly strength
ened the outfit from the big club out
Rockville way. Ellen Kincaid, Beaver
Dam champion, has joined Congress
sional, and Mrs. Elsie Haynes, former
!. District champion, has returned to
the golf wars to play for Congress
sional. Meanwhile, second team
matches were being played today at
Army-Navy, while third team con-
tests were under way at Kenwood.

VETERAN INJURED,
POLICE HOLD PAIR
Bonus Bond Reported Missing
After Man Is Found Hurt
in Street.

Police today were holding two men
alleged to have been companions of
Francis x. Sullivan. 40, of 407 M
street before the latter was found in
the first block of Bates street early
this morning suffering from serious
injuries to his head and body. No
charges were placed against them,
however
Sullivan, formerly in the automobile
financing business but now unem-
ployed, was said to have left his NJ
street address yesterday afternoon
with three $50 bonus bonds, which he
was taking to bank for certifcation
and redemption. Only two of the
bonds were found in his pockets when
he was taken to Sibley Hospital At
the M street address it was said he
had left IL other bonds at home.
Police learned a car containing Sui
hvan and three others stopped in the
Bates street block and Sullivan, with
the assistance of the others alighted.
As he got out, they said. he fell on the
sidewalk, striking his head on the
curbing. The car then drove away,
but Sullivan was picked up a few min
utes later and taken to Sibley by Earl
and Edwin T. Ryan, 2210 Pennsylvania
avenue and % Quincy place north
east, respectively. At the hospital his
condition was said to be serious.

CHAMBERS AGREES
TO PAYROLL LEVY
Undertaking Firm to Pay |
Pct. Assessment Under
District Act.

W. w. Chambers Co., undertakers
has agreed to make monthly pay roll
assessments under the District unem-
ployment compensation insurance act,
disposiHg of a threatened test case
which had been planned by municipal
officials.
The company will have to pay the l
per cent pay roll assessment for each
month back to February and. in addi-
ton, a penalty of per cent on the
payments due, for delinquency. accord
ing to John A. Marshall, director for
the Unemployment Compensation In
Surance Board.
Due to misunderstanding of the act,
Marshall said, quite a number of
employers have been delinquent and
have been assessed penalties. The Dis
trict Government, itself, is one of the
delinquents. The Commissioners had
believed they could make pay roll
assessments out of District main
tenance funds for about 760 per diem
workers not included in the District
retirement plan and therefore subject
to the new job insurance law.
Controller General McCarl ruled re-
Gently, however. that such funds could
not be tapped for the pay roll assess
ments and the Commissioners conse-
quently will request a special appro-
priation next year. Marshall estimated
roughly the District Government pen
altieS would amount to several hun
dred dollars"
AS to the Chambers case, Marshall
announced The board stated the rea-
son Mr.. Chambers has not made his
contributions was due to the fact that,
like many employers. he did not thor
oughly understand the law.
After the workings of the law had
been explained to Mr.. Chambers and
it became apparent to him that the
beneficiaries under this act are the en-
ployes of the District, he announced
that he was 100 per cent in favor of
that would tighten the load
upon the Washington employees.

MEASURE PRESSED
ON CIVIL SERVICE
Special Rules for Considera.
tion of Bill to Be Sought
by RamspeCk.

Chairman RamSpeck of the House
Civil Service Committee announced
today he would ask the Rules Com
mittee to grant special rules for
consideration of bills to extend the
civil service to first, second and third
class poStmaSters, as we'll as to un-
classified employees in the New Deal"
agencies.
Consideration of the bill to give
the President authority to extend
civil service classification to employees
of the New Deal" agencies by exc
cutive order was blocked in the House
several days ago; but Ramspeck hopes
to have it considered before adjourn
ment of Congress under a special
rule.
Likewise, he plans to get action on
the post Office bill under a special
rule.
Ramspeck also predicted that no
restrictions would be placed on Gov
ernment employees lobbying for politi-
cal influence to force their promotion.
He said there is not sufficient time
remaining before adjournment of
this session for the House to act on
the Black bill which passed the
Senate Monday. This bill would COM
pei Federal employees about to be
promoted to take an oath they had
not sought political influence.
Ramspeck pointed out that the
effects Of Blacks bill would have
to be carefully studied in his COM
mittee before it could be favorably
reported and placed on the House
calendar.

Bird Mourns Hanged Mate
Sparrow Catches Leg in Telephone
Wire bangles for "a Hours.
BY FRANK NJ. KELLER.

A LONELY little female SPAR
~ row fluttered about the top
~ of a telephone pole behind
4 N 1864 Otis place today and
chirped mournfully for its mate which
died last night after hanging head
downward from tangled wires for
"a hours
The mate caught its leg among
the wires late Monday and after
futile efforts to free itself, dangled
all day yesterday, while the female
brought food and fed the captive in
the manner she feeds her young.
Struggles against the bonds merely
resulted in greater misery, so the
sparrow swung with the wind.
Aware of Birds Plight.
Residents of the neighborhood we're
aware of its plight, but the pole was
tall and the wires dangerous. They
hoped the bird would work itself
free by its own efforts and thereby
escape the injury which might re-
suit if human hands were used to
wrest the sparrow from captivity.
Just how the bird got into the
fatal predicament is a mystery. The
most widely accepted explanation,
however, is that it caught its leg in
a wedge-like formation of the wires
while hopping around the peak Of
the pole. Struggles for liberty evi-
IDENTIFY frightened the wedge
Yesterday Mrs. H. A. Shore, 1864
Otis place. called police and tele-
phone company workers to the
rescue. Both we're slow in responding,
however, and in the meantime an
Evening Star photographer climbed
the pole and liberated the bird.
Sparrow Put to Death.
Its leg broken and its body injured
by the confinement, the sparrow was
put to death to end the misery.

CONFERENCE MAY
SETTLE D. {, BILL
DEADLOCK TODAY
Meeting Part of Congress
Drive to Adjourn by
Saturday.
FURTHER INSISTENCE
BY SENATE ASKED
Thomas Continues Fight for
$5,7Oo,000 Recommended in
Budget by President.
BY ]. A. OLEARY.

With Congress driving toward ad-
journment Saturday, conferees on the
1887 District appropriation bill were
scheduled to meet at 3 pm. today on
what may prove to be the decisive
session in the long effort to reach an
agreement on the measure. The
amount of the Federal payment, to-
ward a total bill of about $4,000, 900.
is still the main issue to be settled
with the Senate urging adoption of
the Presidents budget recommended
ton of SIS 100000, instead of the House
offer of s4,200,000.
The way was paved for resumption
of discussion yesterday afternoon.
when Senator Thomas, Democrat of
Oklahoma, moved that the Senate fur
ther insist on its amendments, other
than those already accepted by the
House, and grant the conference
asked by the House.
When the House on Monday asked
for the new conference it instructed its
conferees to go up on the amount
of the Federal lump sum from the
original House figure of 81, 1000 900 to
$4,200,000.
Might Agree on S5,O00,000
Senator Thomas has indicated on
previous occasions that he would con-
slider compromising on s5,000000 in
order to avoid substitution of a con-
tinuing resolution for the regular sup
ply bill, but there are no indications
the Senate conferees would go below
that figure.
There is also reason to believe that
the Oklahoma Senator still is strongly
of the opinion an agreement on the
pending bill should include provision
for creation of the proposed COM
mission to study the fiscal relations
problem during the recess, in the hope
of reaching some permanent settle
ment at the next session on the con-
troversial question of the Federal
Governments obligation toward main
tenance of the National Capital.
The Senate already has passed the
resolution to set up the commission,
and it Is spending in the House.
Accents Some Amendments.
The House on Monday accepted
considerable number of the Senate
amendments, and the remaining diff
ferences probably will be settled
quickly if the conferees are able to
reach an agreement on the major
question Of the Federal lump sum.

GIBSON INTRODUCES
AUTO SAFETY BILL
Measure Would Require All Cars
Sold in D. C. to Meet Army
Standards.

In a new move to promote street
safety in Washington, Senator Glib
son, Republican, of Vermont has in
troduced bill under which the stand
ard equipment of all cars sold in the
District after April l, 1887, would
have to meet the approval Of Army
engineers at Holabird Arsenal, the
War Departments motor truck depot
in Maryland.
The measure, which has been re-
ferred to committee for study, would
apply to vehicles built after March
/ of next year, and safety of opera
ton would be the only factor con-
sidered in testing the equipment.
With leaders driving toward adjourn
ment Saturday, the question is ex-
pected to go over until next year.
There is already pending in the
Senate District Committee a bill
passed by the House to require semi
annual mechanical inspection Of all
motor vehicles here. This measure
likewise is being sidetracked until the
next Congress meets.

Presence of Item in Omnibus Claims
Bill Causes Controversy

Representative Hancock, Republic

government was different from that of
the Federal Government. There's no
more reason to ask the Federal Gov
ernment to pay this claim, arriving
out of the misconduct of District po-
liceman," he declared, than it would
be to pay the claims of the citizens
Of any State. Irrespective of the
woman's claim, the Federal Govern
ment should not pay it. 1t should be
paid by the District and provisions for
its payment should be made in the
District appropriation bill"
The House at first voted to pay the
claim by vote of 48 to 38. But Han
cock protested the vote on the ground
Of the lack of quorum. and because
of The lateness of the hour, Represen-
tative O'Connor, Democrat, of New
