Five OF BasebalPs S
Imrnortals Named

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-UP)-
Baseball has so many heroes that
only five of those who have play
ed since 1900 won places Sunday
night in the national pastime's
hall of fame.
Ten were to have been selected
from the "moderns" but the rule
providing that each must get rs
per cent of the total vote will
keep the names of half that num-
Der from the museum to be erect
ed at Cooperstown, N. Y.
Those selected in a nationwide
poll of sports writer's were Chris
ty Mathewson, Ty Cobb, Babe
Ruth, Walter Johnson and Honus
Wagner.
Cobb received the highest hon
or, getting 222 of the 226 votes
cast. Ruth and Wagner received
215 each, Mathewson 205 and
Johnson 1S9.
Only the fact that there have
been so many good second base
men since the turn of the CEN
tury kept Napoleon Lajoie, for
mer Cleveland star, from winning
a place among the baseball inn
mortals.

S EXECUTIONS
SET FRIDAY
Some Reprieves Possible;
Men Prefer Electrocution
to Death by Gas
By JOHN A. PARIS, 'JR.
United Press Staff Correspondent

RALEIGH, Feb. 4. (UP)-Un-
less Governor j. c. B. EhrlnghauS
intervenes, six. men convicted of
murder, will die by gas and cleo
tricity next Friday morning at
Central State prison.
A white man and two negroes
are scheduled to die in the new
lethal gas chamber. If they die
it will be the first triple gas eX-
ecution east of the Mississippi and
possibly the first in the United
States.
Three others, all negroes, have
been sentenced to die Friday
morning some time after 1890 a.
m. in the electric chair.
1t appeared today there Will be
no decision in any of the cases un-
til mid-week, but the chances are
at least three of the condemned
men will receiv reprieves.
North Carolina has never exc
cuted more than three men IN
one day and Governor Ehringhaus
has an aversion to multiple exc
cutions.
Edwin NJ. Gill, rotund parole
commissioner, said he was making
a thorough study of each case.
He spent half of last Saturday
on death row interviewing the
men and is expected to go back
at least once before final decl-
sion is made in the caess.
Fridays executions, barring re-
prieves, offer more than the un-
usual. With the possibility of two
methods of execution being used
on the same day, comparison, by
direct contrast, between t h e
much-diseussed gas death and
electrocution will be made.
L will be comparison of a
new methOd-lethal gas-to one
which is being discarded after 26
years in which it has taken the
lives of 161 men convicted OF
criminal offenses.
The six men on death row who
are scheduled to die Friday pre-
sent a study in death. Before
lethal gas was tried in North Car
olira, the men who are about to
die on the row of the living dead
had said:
death is death and we don't
care how it comes"
New they have changed.
They had rather take it in the
electric chair. Gas has a sinister
meaning to them-a slow creep
ing death of which they are ignor'
ant.
The three condemned to die by
gas are:
Bright Buffkin, Columbus coun
ty white man, convicted of kill
ing d. P. Barefoot near White
vile last August.
]. T. Sanford and Thomas Wat
son, Durham negroes, convicted o
killing a taxi driver last August
Scheduled to die in the electric
chair are:

ON SPORT
HARD TOEST|MATE
Turner Tells S. E. c. Hearing
Capital Has Room for
New Arena.

Difficulty in estimating possible net
profits from new sporting arena here
was stressed by William J. (Joe)
Turner, well-known Washington sports
promoter, in testimony today before
Examiner Robert P. Reeder of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Turner was produced as a witness
by E. Forrest Tancer of the S. E. c.
counsel on the third day Of the COM
missions hearing on its order to
Washington Gardens, Inc, to show
cause why it should not be prevented
from issuing 81 000.900 of securities to
finance construction Of sports center
on Kansas avenue between Upshur and
Taylor streets.
Washington could use another arena
if the venture were not capitalized at
a cost so high as to prevent profitable
operation, Turner testified. He said he
had discussed the project with its
promoters-George E. Edelin,, secre-
treasurer and counsel for the
Gardens; Harold NJ. Majors, president,
and Graeme T. Smallwood, vice presi-
dent-but was not able to consider any
personal connection with it.
Arthur Buckman of Weaver Bros,
real estate man, was called as wit
ness by Edelin, to resist the S. E. C.'s
contention Gardens representatives
had appraised too highly the value of
the Kansas avenue tract now owned
by Paul Himmelfarb.
Buckman said he had turned the
property over several times for $3.50
per square foot and that Himmelfarh
was sold part of it for only s220 be-
cause it would require filing of large
hole in the ground and offer posi-
bilities only for a filling station if
Taylor street were extended through
that block.
Appraisers representing the S. E. c.
testified yesterday the land was worth
from s1.25 to sl35 per square foot.
Gardens appraisers had valued it from
$3.50 to So. The Gardens option, now
in default. calls for purchase at the
$l35 figure.

AUTHORS Of BILL
GUESTSAT DINNER
Road Builders Entertain
Senator Hayden and Rep
reSentative CartWriqht.

Senator Hayden of Arizona and
Representative Cartwright of Okla
homa, authors of the bill to provide
$350,000,000 in Fedora aid for high
way construction in 1889, which
passed the House yesterday, were
guests last night at the annual dinner
of the American Road Builders Asso-
citation in the Willard Hotel.
Belief that the bill which passed
the House is likely to pass the Senate
and become law was one of the un-
scheduled high lights of the meeting
Of $50 association members from all
parts of the country in attendance at
the three-day session, which closes
today.
Col. Willard r Chevalier, who sue
ceeded William P. Mcdonald as presi-
dent at the meeting here, pointed out
that the highway transportation field
constitutes about one-tenth of the ma
tional economy in regard to the num-
Der of persons employed and that con-
tinued road building for a period of
years will insure prosperity in that
field.
Highway construction employs more
men per dollar expended than any
other type and the 135,000,000 in
Federal aid granted to States which
match Federal funds in 1867, and
the sl75,00o,00O for 1888 and the
same amount for 1889 will place high
way construction in a class with auto
mobile industry in increased employ
ment, Col. Chevalier asserted
The convention was to close today
with a luncheon after meetings of
city and county and contractors de-
partmentS.

STOLEN PROPERTY
BUREAU STARTED
Hoover Says U. S. Will
Extend Scale of Opera
tions Later.

An Identification bureau for stolen
property was set up today by the
Federal Bureau Of Investigation.
The project has been started on a
comparatively small scale, but it may
be extended later to include all classes
of stolen goods, it was stated by J.
Edgar Hoover, director OF the bureau.
Law enforcement officials have been
advised that the bureau is prepared
TO receive and record in its file,
for the information Of any law-en-
forcement agency, any stolen property
of the following types:
l. Property that may be described
by name, model and serial number,
such as watches, firearms, bonds, type
writer's or similar Office equipment.
2. All stolen property involved in
thefts amounting to an aggregate value
Of $4,000 or more.
Contributing law-enforcement agen-
cies have been requested to advise the
bureau, at the time they report the
stolen property. the name of the VIC
tim, the type of crime and the names
of any suspects.
Intensive research is contemplated
to devise standard descriptive meth
DDS conforming to a uniform nomen-
clature to be used in designating all
stolen property, particularly that Of
miscellaneous character which does
not bear serial numbers.
1t is believed this work can be
developed to point where the identi-
flcation of stolen property will be as
accurate as the Identification of crim-
inals through the bureaus fingerprint-
ing division.

RIGGS BANK THEFT
SUSPECT HUNTED
Police Believe New York
Prisoner Participated in
$4,000 Bond Robbery.

Washington police today were look
ing for a second man in connection
with theft of bonds worth $4,000
from the Riggs National Bank seven
years ago, convinced that William r.
Evans, under arrest in New York in
connection with q bond theft there,
was one of the participants in the
Riggs robbery.
Inspector B. w. Thompson. chief of
detectives, said Evans has been iden-
tilted by flngerprints as the man under
indictment here in connection with
the Riggs Bank theft.
The detective chief said a detainer
has been sent to New York to hold
him for local authorities. Evans was
one of eight men rounded up by
Justice Department agents in connec-
ton with the theft of bonds worth
more than 100000 from a New York
bank
Police believe at least two persons
were involved in the theft here. One
participant, they say, phoned teller
in the bank after the bonds had been
delivered from the Treasury, and his
eccomplice stole the securities while
the employe was momentarily out of
his cage.

cents cash fare, would receive free
transfer to street cars and to all
busses except those charging higher
fares. such as the Chevy Chase de luxe
coach line.
Investigation Planned.
Commission Chairman Riley E.
Elgen announced an investigation
would be started soon to plan uni
versally uniform fare for all busses,
with possibilities also that street car
and bus fares all may be made uni
form. There will be public hearing
when the investigation is completed.
Vice Chairman Richmond B. Keech
and Engineer Commissioner Dan L.
Sultan also hope uniformity may be
found possible.
The commission will insist that in
terest on payments to the North Amer
ican Co. be reduced from 6 to per
cent.
Elgen and Keech again today
stressed that payment for the merger
by the Capital Transit Co. would not
be charged to operating expenses or
otherwise made at the expense of the
riding public, but would come out of
Capital Transit Co. surplus.
The North American Co. has been
in the merger picture from the first.
1t bought the company from its found
er, Leon Arnold, back in 1925, when
it paid some $516,000 for the line and
assumed obligations said to have raised
the total investment to $1,066, 900.
That deal was found in violation of
the La Toilette anti-merger law and
the commission ordered the North
American to divest itself of control.
The stock then was said to have been
sold to Harley P. Wilson, then a di-
rector Of the North American Co.
When Wilson made his first trans
portation merger proposal, he sought
to have the proposed consolidated
street car company pay $1,146,000 for
the w. r. T. That plan died, but
some years later Congress approved
merger Of the Capital Traction and
the Washington Railway & Electric
Companies on different basis. This
plan contemplated purchase of the
w. r. T., subject to commission ap-
provaL
The w. r. T. has a large accu-
mulated deficit, having paid divi-
dends only once, in 1925, of 6 per cent.
prior to the purchase by the North
American. Company profits listed
were $15,400 in 1924 and $6l, ,e63 in
1925 and then deficits piled I'D in
succeeding years until 1894, when
there was a profit of $7,12l and $42,744
was reported in 1885. The corporated
deficit at the end Of 1885 was said
to be $336,375.
Commission officials in recent years
have praised management of the ae-
tual operation of the Sixteenth street
lines and President E. D. Merrill is
given major credit. 1t is expected he
will be given place in the Capital
Transit Co. upon merger.
At the recent hearings on the merger
plan experts varied widely in their es-
Inmates of the w. r. r. value. A COM
pany witness declared the reproduction
value. with allowances for depreciation
