OLDTIMER GAME BUT
 COULDN'T TAKE IT

The games of his boyhood proved just little too strenuous for the 60-odd year-old muscles of Carl Ramsted of Valdez, who is now in the Cordova General Hospital with spiral fracture of the upper arm as the result of pitting his strength against the champion arm bender in Mayor Eagan's Pinzon last week.
 The game, known to people of all lands, is played by two oppon- eits who face each other across the table and with elbows pivoted on the board and bent upward at right angles try each to force the others arm flat to the table.
 Ramsted's muscles proved the equal of his opponents but his bones couldn't take it and as a result the oldtimer, who has homestead five miles down the bay from Valdez. will wear a cast for some time to come. x

FOE OF TALMADGE
HALTS FUND SUIT
Fight for Injunction in Highway
Money Dispute Is
Called Off.
By the Associated Press.

BY tne associated Press.
GAINESVILLE, Ga, March IA
court action aimed at Gov. Eugene
Talmadge's financial dictatorship was
withdrawn yesterday by w. v. Lance,
who sought an injunction against use
of highway funds for other than road
building.
Judge L. P. Gaillard announced
that at the request of Lance he had
revoked a rule nisi granted the plain
tiff March l. The Judge said three
judge hearing scheduled for today
in the case had been called off.
Judge Gaillard said the case still
stands in Cobb County, from where
1t was transferred here.
Lance announced, through his at
torneys, that the suit would remain
on file in the Cobb County Superior
Court until it is shown all counties
will be paid their part of the s2,-
100000 in highway certificates which
falls due March 25.
Judge Gaillard said he understood
that Lance. holder of $260.39 Of State

eral w. p. Harrison. These funds,
not involved in litigation over funds
deposited in banks by the treasurer,
were subject to withdrawal by the
highway board.

CAPITAL TYRANNY.
IN VOTE DENIAL HIT.
Lesh Address Over Radio
Calls for Congress
Representation.

Paul e. Lesh, prominent attorney,
last night said the Districts lack Of
congressional representation consti-
tutes tyranny at the heart of the
Nation"
In a radio address arranged by the
George Washington University Forum,
Lesh. member of the Citizens Joint
Committee on District of Columbia
National Representation, declared:
do you believe in the American
system Of representative self-govern.
ment? Then you believe in national
representation for the District Of
Columbia"
Lesh was once vice president Of the
District Bar Association and formerly
taught in the George Washington Uni
versity Law School.
I'VE are not proposing to take WASH
ington away from the Nation or from
the Nations control" he said, "but
only to make 1t a part Of the Nation.
Our proposal, in brief, is to apply to
this political subdivision the American
system of self-government in national
affairs"
Urges Action on Amendments.
He urged action on the pending con-
stitutional amendment which would
give District citizens the franchise,
denied them since the formation Of
the Capital District 140 years ago.
At the same time, Lesh made plain
he advocates no move which would
deprive Congress Of the right Of exclu-
sive legislation in all District matters,
as guaranteed by the Constitution.
The presence Of two voting Repre-
sentatives responsible to the people of
the District Of Columbia" he said,
will undoubtedly be of great practical
advantage, despite the fact that they
will be so greatly outnumbered by
Representatives from other parts of
the Nation.
What I want to emphasize tonight
Is that we are asking our rightful
share in the government of the Nation
as a whole. No other self-governing
nation finds 1t necessary to maintain
a tyranny at the heart of the nation
or to disenfranchise the residents of
its capital city"
Other American Republics Cited.
Lesh pointed out that other Amer
lean republics do not deprive the citi-
zens Of their capital cities of the
privilege of voting. He then answered
the argument that the trainers of the
Constitution intended the District
should never have a vote:
1T was not until about 1870 that
the population Of the District was as
large as that of a congressional dis
trict. Until then, We were not entitled
to Representative in the House We
had no legislature and. therefore, no
machinery to elect Senator. Now, by
amendment of the Constitution, Sen
ators are elected by the people.
Furthermore, when the Constitu-
ton was adopted, it was uncertain
that the District would be as large as
1t is. An area / mile square in which
to place the Capitol and Executive
Mansion and house the Supreme Court
might have been set up."

Vollten, who swore to the warrant,
said.
A few days ago, when it became
widely known that the county commits
sioners were checking on Peters ac-
counts, he told reporters it was Gus
tomary for property settlements to be
made through the attorney to the
County Board.
He asserted he has until the end
of the fiscal year to turn in his receipts.
1t also was customary, Peter said, for
the treasurer's Office and auditors Office
10 honor orders signed with Whitacre's
rubber stamp.
Whitacre said he had no knowledge
Of the use of the stamp for such pur-
poses. In fact the clerk said, he OBJ
tanned the stamp with reluctance upon
taking Office, but was persuaded that
1t was customary to have a stamp for
routine orders.
The county clerk is said to have dis
covered the property settlement orders
by accident, and Immediately launched
an investigation.
States Attorney James H. Pugh
decided to seek the warrant for the
commissioners counsel after an in
dependent investigation which in
cluded a scrutiny of the records of
Peters financial transactions as COM
piled by County Auditor Alexander
X. Hancock.
Accompanied by his brother, Vim
son Peter, and his uncle, DR.. r. w.
Vinson, the 3l-year-old attorney to
the county board came to the prose-
cutor's Office shortly after o'clock.
The warrant was read to him by
Detective Vollten. The paper charged
that on December 18, 1885, Peter did
receive and take into his possession
and in the name Of and account Of
said county commissioners of Mont
gomery County, body corporate, the
sum of $4,000, then and there fraud
ulently and feloniously did embezzle
and appropriate it to his own USE"
Magistrate Charles w. Webb issued
the warrant. DR.. Vinson signed Peters
bond.
States Attorney Pugh said he had
no comment to make except that he
would prosecute the warrant like any
other case"
Peter is a member of one Of Mont
gomery County's most prominent fam
lilies. His father. the late Edward
Peter, was q Circuit Court Judge, as
was his uncle, Robert Peter.

DRIVE CONTINUES
Workers Have Opportunity
to Complete Canvass
of Territories.

Although the National Symphony
Orchestra's Today campaign for a
100000 sustaining fund is scheduled
to close tomorrow. the drive will be
continued to allow field workers to
canvass their territories thoroughly.
In a statement today, Harold N.
Marsh, chairman Of the Campaign
Committee, said:
II feel that the groundwork has
been laid to attain our goal. We are
encouraged by the fact that $4,000
has been subscribed already, but a
great number of people desire to SUBJ
scribe who have not already done So.
A number of our loyal supporters are
not in the city.
Many Reports Delayed.
"Many individuals. numerous schools
and business organizations cannot re-
port as yet the amount of their sub
scriptions and we must wait for re-
turns from the work they have laid
out. In order that reports may be
received from the committees after
the date set for the termination Of
the campaign, committee chairmen
will hold subsequent meetings.
Our efforts will continue until our
$1,000 goal has been fully achieved" !"
DR.. Hans Kinder, conductor of the
orchestra, spoke yesterday at meet
ing of campaign workers at headquar-
terS in the Carlton Hotel. He also
was a guest later at a meeting of the
Publicity Committee and campaign
chairmen at the Mayflower Hotel.

Those are true words, senior, and I
thank you for them"
He accompanied the deputy sheriff
back TO town and, before commencing
to deal monte again, purchased cur
dog from a wandering miner. This
dog he brought home with him that
night and fed and patted it and finally
gave it a gunny sack sleep on out
side his cabin door.
1T would be strange" he remarked
to himself, "if this dog, hearing
enemies approach at night, failed to
bark and give the alarm. A dog is
always grateful for kindness be-
slowed"
In the morning the dog was there
to greet him when he opened the door.
After luncheon it followed him hun
dred yards toward town. but when
commanded to retu n to the cabin did
so. When he returned that night,
however, the dog was gone, nor could
Rosita shed any light on the circum-
stances of its disappearance. In the
morning Joaquin investigated the spot
so recently occupied as camp by
Tabbard, Wilson ct al, and discovered
his unwelcome neighbors had moved
out. His apprehensions allayed, he
thought no more about them.
The following Sunday was a quiet
one. Jesus and his mother had par
taken Of late afternoon dinner with
them and departed for their own cabin
at dusk. Contrary to custom, Bill and
Johnny Warren had not come down
to dinner, having decided to go deer
hunting. Rosita had that day pre-
pared an unusually appetizng dinner
and Joaquin had partaken of it with
unaccustomed heartiness. He and
Jesus had disposed Of full quart OF
rather heady new wine between them.
and, when the darkness closed in
about half past 6, Joaquin removed
his boots in the bed room he and
Rosita occupied. Also, he removed
his belt and pistol and hung it on
the wall. He felt lazy. satisfied with
life, wishful for a little melody; so
he took up his guitar, strummed 1t a
moment and then string broke. He
fitted new string and at his request
Rosita brought him his sharp Bowie
knife for the purpose Of cutting of
the extraneous foot of string. This
accomplished, he threw the knife over
on the rude kitchen table. settled back
in his chair, propped his stockinged
feet up on another chair and COM
menced his minstrelsy, with Rosita
nestled on a box at his feet.
Suddenly the door opened silently
and in the aperture the light of the
two guttering candles revealed a man
with a pistol pointed at Joaquin. Be-
hind him, one by one, three other
faces appeared.
"One move" said the man with the
pistol, land your soul is in hell"
