At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Nome Kennel Club today, discussion occurred regard ing any possibilities for a special speed race with sev eral hundred dollars in cash money for prizes.
 After several viewpoints had been heard, a vote of the board decided that for this year, all activities would cease, and what re- maining funds existed in the treasury would be held over until next year, when an extensive program of dog races would be pro- 
 It was declared that the lack of a suitable auditor ium or hall seriously ham, pered any effort at raising sufficient funds to put on the talked-of speed race this year.
 Secretary McDougall de- clared he would have a fin ancial statement ready for publication Monday. He stated that anyone having bills against the Kennel Club, to please file them with him immediately.

Trio of Mines
!. Hard Hit by
Vacancies
BY GAR RETT WATERS


Catching promises to be a Dig
problem for at least three teams
in the .ntarhigh baseball series
this year
A survey of conditions in rival
camps gives this idea at this early
stage of the new campaign.
Western and Central particularly
are hard hit with absolutely no
definit material on hand. East
ern is aim ost as bad off, but it IS
expected Coach Charlie "Chiet"
Guyon will have somebody in uni
farm FROM the sandlotS, who, out
for school baseball, for the tlrSt
time, will make goot.
Roosevelt and Tech have no
worries at all in this respect. The
Riders have Julius Lewis, good
receiver and equally as good a
batter. The Techmen have two
backstops to fill the bill.
France, Wise on Hand
One Us Whitley France, who did
most OF the catching last year;
the other. Jimmy Wise. Both are
capable backstops who can hit
and receive in tiptop manner.
It's an unusual situation for
Central not to have dependable
catcher on hand, for in the last
four or five years Coach Jack Ray
of the Mount PleaSanterS always
has had e youngster to fill the
bill right from the start Of prac-
tice.
When Ray first took over the
baseball coaching job at Central
he had Dick Cook, who won an
all-high berth. A couple of years
later Cliff Keyser was around.
And Keysec was all-high.
Last season Don Dunlap was the
catcher. Don's hitting and me
chanical ability was enough to
win an all-high position, making
It three Central backstops in q
row to gain these honors.
Said Ray to-day:
81 haven't the slightest idea
who will be our catcher this year.
Several are out for the post, but
as yet none have impressed.
hope the practice sessions of the
near future will develop some
one"
Coach Cliff Moore, at Western
High, is almost in the same boat
as Ray. The mentor had Huck
Wynne last year and couple OF
seasons before that, but now
hasn't one man Of known ability
to fill the vacancy.
Wynne at Orlando
Wynne, as most every baseball
fan knows, is now at the training
camp of the Washington ball club,
winning his spurs as a minor
leaguer. Moore believes the youth
will step up to the big time with
0 little seasoning.
Mike Mikalaski was EaStern'S
catcher in 1885. And a good one.
But he's graduated now, and
Coach Chief Guyon must develop
another ace if his Lincoln Park
team is to continue being power
in inter-high baseball. But, as we
mentioned a few moments ago,
Guyon believes one or two of sand
lot fame are among the candl-
dates now working out-one, at
least, who will jump into the spot
light.
Coach Herman Littman, at
Roosevelt is thanking his stars
julius Lewis is available. The
presence OF the youngster does
away with that much worry over
the development Of the Riders this
season. Lewis is a big lad, who.
in his few starts in 1885, handled
the pitchers well, besides showing
good form in throwing out run
nerS at second.

SENATE SEEKS
500 MILLIONS
NEW TAXES
Presidents Command
Brings Promise
From Leaders

With President Roosevelt insist
ing Congress impose enough new
taxes to balance his ordinary
budget before adjourning, the Sen
ate Finance Committee today be-
gan a new upward revision Of it's
642 million dollar tax bill.
At night conference in the
White House, the President told
Democratic leaders of the COM
mittee he desired the new tax bill
to raise $40 million dollars of per-
manent new revenue and SIT mil
lion dollars of temporary revenue.
He expressed dissatisfaction with
the committees completed bill,
which would raise $50 million dol
lars of new permanent revenue,
all from corporations and their
stockholders. and only 80 million
dollars Of temporary revenue.
Upward Revision Pledged
His decree prompted the Demo
cratic chieftainS to promise an up
ward revision of the corporation
taxes they previously wrote into
the revised bill. Treasury officials
were ordered to prepare a new set
Of estimates on higher corporate
levies for submission to the COM
mittee this afternoon.
Senator King, of Utah, acting
chairman in the absence of Sena-
tor Harrison, Of Mississippi, who
is i'll, said it was decided to get
the additional revenue from cor
poration taxes probably through
the increase in the rate on undiS-
tributed corporate earnings.
The committee has approved
flat l8 per cent corporate income
tax and a 7 per cent super tax
on undiStributed earnings. King
indicated this super tax may be
increased to 8 per cent to bring
in the additional revenue.
Speed is Promised
Both Robinson and King in
sisted that there would be no
raise in the normal individual
income tax rate Of 4 per cent.
These SpokeSmen for the confer
ence also claimed that it would
be possible to whip the bill into
shape and get it passed in time
for adjournment of Congress by
June 6.
Robinson said, however, that
the tax bill was "the only thing
that might delay adjournment"

I GIRLS HELD,

Seven colored girls who at
tended the reception given by
Mrs. Roosevelt at the White
House after she denounced con-
ditions at the National Training
School for Girls, today were back
in the school after a brief. inter-
rupted attempt to escape.
The girls, all under 10, walked
out of the institution yesterday
afternoon, apparently for an ex'
tended stroll across the District
line.
A caretaker of the girls home
saw them walk out and reported
the incident to police.
An hour later they were appre-
hended by Seventh Precinct police
on Conduit Road, near the District
Line. Their spirits apparently Dol"
stored after they had attended the
White House reception with SO
other inmates, the girls told police
they were going for an afternoon
stroll"
Whether they intended making
a return visit, unlimited, to the
White House, the girls would not
say.
Police, however, turned them
over to the Women's Bureau for
return to the institution. They
are Mary Rewder, 10; Mary
