some three or four years ago. Since
then additions have been made to
house the ever-growing list Of marine
relics and the constantly increasing
library Of nautical literature.
j. T. Holzbach, friendly man with
rollicking sense of humor and .
deep-set love Of the sea, is superin-
tendent Of the museum. The institu.
ton has grown until about IS persons
are now employed.
In connection with the museum a
park Of nearly a thousand acres is
being developed. The beauty. of this
park Is enhanced by an artificial lake
Of 1875 acres extent, made by damming
Watson Waters-Creek around the
lake, and at various points in the park
the donor plans to have eventually
every tree, shrub and Towering plant
that will grow in this climate bur-
geoning.
A game sanctuary has been estab-
lished in the park, and dogs and guns
are forbidden at all times. That the
sanctuary is having its effect on the
increase Of wild life is evidenced by the
fact that thousands upon thousands
of wild ducks and geese swarm on the
lake in the Autumn and Winter.
Bride paths and roads are being cut
through the museum grounds, and 1t
is planned to make the park a place
of rest and recreation for the people,
as well as for wild animals and birds
Visitors, too, are hocking constantly
to the museum, rs its fame spreads
through the country. This fame, more
over, is spread literally by the visitors,
as no attempt has been made by the
museum officials to publicize it-H
they have SHE'D at publicity.
It is estimated that about 5000
persons visited the museum last year.
There is almost q constant stream OF
visitors coming in parties. This year
has seen an increase over last In the
Of parties coming to the
and many Of this years
groups have come from the Middle

PISTOL SHOOT
OCTOBER
3 Police Teams Enter
Match Sponsored
By The Times

With less than three weeks to
go before the competitive shoot
between pistol teams of the Wash
ington police, Maryland State po-
lice and Virginia State police,
final details for the competition
were worked out at a conference
here last night.
The three picked teams, repre-
Senting the finest shots in the
three police departments, will
meet at the Camp Sims range of
the District National Guard on
october 5 for a trophy presented
by The Washington Times.
In addition to the trophy,
which will be the permanent pos
session of the team winning the
event, there will be individual
medals for members of the win
ming teams and medals for the
high point winners.
Shoot Two Courses
Attending the conference last
night at which details for the
competition were arranged were
Major Enoch B. Carey, Superin.
tendent of Maryland State police,
and Capt. Edward NICK. Johnson,
of Baltimore; Capt. H. B. Nicholas,
superintendent of Virginia State
police, and Lieut.. John E. Fondahl,
who directs the pistol shooting OF
the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment.
Because Of the fact that the
competition is for policemen only,
it was decided to shoot over two
courses, one at IS and the other
at Is yards.
The 15-yard course will be fired
at rapid fire and the longer course
at slow fire against the Army IL"
target.
Six on a Team
Teams will be limited to six
men, and the five highest scores

RAP
D.C.CRINE

Washin gton's Federation of
Churches, through its committee
on civic affairs, was today Off
cially on record as charging that
crime conditions in the District
are unparalleled.
Savagely attacking inadequate
facilities for the Metropolitan Po-
lice, laxity in the courts, over
crowded jails and open flourish
ing of gambling, letter from
Wilbur La Roe, member of the
District Parole Board and chair
man of the church declarations
civic committee, explained the re-
ligiouS groups stand to James M.
Hepbron, head Of the Washing
ton Crime Commission.
While the letter decares that
most local judges and public Off
Gals are honest, it decries the con-
ditions under which they must
work and the conditions which
lead to crime.
Important among the reasons
for robberies here, La Roe wrote,
is the discrimination" against
colored people. Barred from good
jobs and living in economic and
social inferiority," he declared,
colored citizens here represent the
fact that cit profits little to deal
with manifestations of crime I'M
less we can strike at its causes"
Aso of principal aid in curbing
crime, the letter stated, would be
adequate facilities and funds with
which the police, courts, reforma-
tories and the parole board could
operate more efficiently.
