When the defendants finally established their title to the property by the verdict of jury, and the receiv- CT was discharged, his accounts showed that he had taken out of he mine $3O,OOO, while his ex- penSeS were largely in excess of that amount.

April Here Again
With Its Jokes
And Trickery

Today is dedicated to fools and
practical jokers.
In case you have forgotten, or
haven't been caught on some prac-
tical Joke, this is April l, All Fools
Day.
This is the day so-called smart
people leave telephone numbers
to be called and the name the
victim is to ask for usually is Mr..
Fox, Mis- Fish, Mr.. Wolf, Mr..
Lion and the like. The numbers
are those at the Zoo.
Others have thought up the
overwhelmingly funny gag of call
ing National 1414 and asking for
Mr.. Landon. The number is that
of the White House and callers
are told that Mr.. Landon isn't
expected.
Then, there is the fellow who
has you call National 5000 and
ask for Branch 80. When the
branch answers the victim is to
ask for Mr.. Stiff. The branch
is the District Morgue.
Capital Transit Company mo-
tormen, on the run by the Con.
vention Hall market, Fifth and K
Streets Northwest, fell victim Of
practical jokerS among the mar
ket men.
Wrappers which had been used
on hams were stuffed to resemble
packaged ham and the deceptive
packages were laid on the car
tracks. With eyes bullying at
such apparent good fortune, mo-
tormen ground their trolleys to a
halt, jumped out, grabbed up the
packages and climbed back into
their cars with them. About 20
motormen were caught in this
manner.
Two women played an April fool
joke on themselves when they re-
fused to stoop over and pick UP
what appeared to be money on the
sidewalk at Twelfth and F Streets
Northwest. They laughed when
they saw the grenebackS and gave
them a couple of playful kicks.
Behind them walked Edwin H.
Harris, of COS Butternut st. N. W.,
who wasn't passing up any bets,
April fool or no April fool. He
picked up the greenbacks and
found them to be genuine. There
were four one-dollar notes in the
bundle. The women, who saw him
pick up the money, said they were
on relief and probably had dropped
it, but Mr.. Harris held on to the
money. He said he would turn
it over to anyone who could iden'
tify it.

SideratiOn given to my four wit

CLOCK TURNED
FOR BRUNO

NEW YORK, April l G.N.S).
Gerta Henkel arose today and set
her living room clock, right-side-
to, on the mantel piece.
That simple action told its own
tale of the passing Of deaths
shadow from Bruno Richard
Hauptmann.
It was in Gerta'S SpotleSS
kitchen that Hauptmann used to
call for a second cup of coffee in
the mornings before the law
caught up with him.
YEARLY, believing it Bruno'S
last day on earth, Gerta and her
husband, Karl, returned to their
home from work last night. Karl
is a house painter. Gerta, a
painter of lamps and scarves.
On sudden impulse Gerta went
to the mantel and turned the clock
face to the wall-So that when
the hands moved to 8:1o there
would be no sudden tautening of
the nerves nor tugging at the
heart.
With Henry Huhlig, who saw
Isidor Fiscn die in Germany, the
Henkels sat down to dinner, at
tempting a forlorn gaiety. 1t didn't
ring true. One suggested the
movies. The others agreed.
When the three learned of
Hauptmann's escape, Greta ex-
claimed:
cts the beginning of good
fortune for him. Something
will happen to save him for
good. It's bound to because
he's innocent"

Needs Courageous Leader . Organ
izdtiOn Badly Split

NEW YORK.-Just what Tammany Hall will
do to or for the Roosevelt ticket this November
is matter concerning which one finds consider
able argument in New York City. But on one
point practically everyone agrees; Tammany
badly needs a courageous, forceful leader and is
impoverished in leadership material
The organization is badly split right now.
To some extent the split is one between support
ters and enemies of Roosevelt and Farley.
Jimmy Dooling, present chief, was put into
that job by the Farley forces after John Curry
who held the Tammany delegation for Al Smith
against Roosevelt at the Chicago convention
had been unseated. Mr.. Dooling, however, soon
turned around and embraced Al Smith.
1t has never appeared that Dooling was
very strong leader. which doubtless was one
reason Farley and Roosevelt put him over.
The Roosevelt administration ran a NUM-
cipal ticket of its own against the Tammany
candidate and LaGuardia in the last mayoralty
election. which is another item in the feud.
The administration is in position to depend
on few of Tammanys 35 district leaders al
though it knows well the importance OF having
Tammany get out full vote in Manhattan if 1t
is TO offset the anticipated large Republican
majority from upstate.
The leaders feel Tammany never got any
thing from Cleveland Wilson, or Roosevelt. The
Tiger knitted Cleveland in 1888 and Wilson i'll
1916. both men being up for reelection.
knitting" by Tammany one is told by old
time political observers in New York means that
Tammany simply lies down and fails to get out
OF the vote.
There are some predictions of a "knifing'
for Roosevelt.
Tammany functions in the same old way. 1t
remains powerful in a patronage sense, thanks
to its control Of key positions despite LaGuar-
dias presence in City Hall. Roughly speaking,
the Tammany idea is to get contributions from
corporations or individuals for whom leaders
arrange certain favors jobs and to pass on
charity money or minor favorS to underprlvll-
eyed votes, not forgetting occasional free ice
cream for the kids
In each election district is a captain respons-
ible to the district leader.
He is supposed to know every family in his
territory.
If he gets out a full vote, he gets ahead in
Tammany Any time Tammany is out for big
vote, he and a of Sub-lieutenants watch
the polls check on those who haven't voted, and
in the last two or three hours make a tremend-
Gus effort to bring all laggards to the voting
booths.
Many big men have been beneficiaries OF
this system-Roosevelt, Senator Wagner, Gov
ernor Lehman and Al Smith among them. Some
times one of them can't quite stomach the sys-
TEN and has TO turn Tammany requests down
hard. 1t is said that there is much resentment
in. Tammany against Governor Lehman on that
account.
