LOue.Crazed Goose
Slain to End Mad
Killing of Ducks
H0nkus Runs An,uck for
Second Time, Pining
for FicEIe Mate.

Honkus, the Canada goose which has
been q voluntary resident at the bird
sanctuary on Mount Vernon Memorial
Highway, met an untimely end today,
after the love-crazed bird had again
run amuck, killing more young ducks.
Paul F. Hodge, caretaker, said he was
forced to shoot Honkus. The bird
killed 10 of the young ducks previously
and devoured four Of them.
Honkus' madness was traced to the
early part Of the week, when his newly
acquired mate few of with q visiting
Canada goose, which was on his way
Northward.
Oficials Of the National Capital
Parks today were making q survey Of
the damage wrought by Honkus to
determine just how many young ducks
were killed.
Formerly, Honkus stood guard over
the young ducks and was considered
gentle. His attitude during the last
few days was just the opposite, and it
became question of "Honkus' life

"It Is necessary to our existence to

After Abeita had translated the
greetings of various tribal delegates,
"Aguawam." "Sangee," "Koatsi" and
"Kowa" as "hello' in Pueblo, and
"Yate" as the same in Navajo, he was
asked if the How" used by writers

long as the rides are included the
permit cannot be issued, but Ennes
and his aides are going ahead with
their plans.
"If we don't get the permit today"
he declared, Eve probably will appeal
to the Commissioners Monday. It's
foolish to turn us down when the uni
versity authorities have approved the
fiesta and more than rs per cent of
the residents within a block have also
given their approval.
Maybe there's some one who didn't
sign our petition"
This is the second time the fiesta
directors have encountered difficulties
easily passed over in past years. First
District Attorney Leslie Garnett's rul-
ing against lotteries caused all the
pin and paddle wheel games to be
dropped. If the present objection is
upheld, three novelty" rides will have
to 60. These include ferris wheel,
an auto ride for children and rock
ing boat.
But there will still be nearly 80
features, stands and concessions, and
there will be dancing each evening.
Capt. Arthur E. Miller of the third
precinct has already been notified
that the permit has been refused, but
Miller said he and his men verified
all the signatures but one on the
students petition. Every one waived
objection to the carnival.

When reminded that the Smithson-
ian Institution a few years ago re-
moved the air-pressure clocks from
the Jefferson School, Mrs. Marion
Wade Doyle, president, suggested that
the entire building might be an appro-
pirate museum piece"
There were large number of re-
quests, especially from citizens asso-
Citations, that schools be equipped with
assembly halls. A demand was made
also for large number Of fences bor-
dering school yards and Fairgrounds.
DR.. Frank Ballou, superintendent,
commented that when fences were
erected a few years ago there were
equally as many rquests to have them
removed, but that the present re-
versal in trend is probably traceable
to changed trafic conditions.
Mrs. Doyle reiterated her often
repeated statement that the greatest
need Of the schools Is additional
teachers.
"Our primary need" she said. "is
teaching personnel. We asked for 234
new teachers for next year and the
Budget Bureau approved SIS. The
House cut this figure down to rs, but
the number was restored to IS by the
Senate in the bill still pending before
Congress"
Some Of the requests were for items
included In that bill, speakers asking
that they be included next year II

There were also requests for an in

MAY DIE
OF SONS SHOTS
SchooIboy, II, Wounds Man
Twice With Pistol for
Striking Mother.
By Stan Correspondent Of The Star.

STAFFORD COURT HOUSE, Va,
May "a warrant for the arrest Of
12-year-old Eugene Wilson, who yes
terday shot his father, William VIII
son, 81, for allegedly mistreating Mrs.
Wilson, was issued today by Trial
Justice r. H. L. Chichester. The
justice said the document was issued
merely to hold the boy pending the
outcome of his fathers wounds.
Arrangements have already been
made to free the boy on bond after his
arrest. The warrant, which was given
to State Trooper Robert A. Sims
to serve, charges assault with q
dangerous weapon.
The elder Wilson is in Fredericks-
burg hospital in a critical condition,
according to authorities. One bullet
lodged in the abdomen after passing
through the wrist and another in his
side.
The elder Wilson was shot after he
is alleged to have struck his wife in
the mouth and locked her In an In
closed porch.
The Wilson's moved here two months
ago from Fredericksburg and opened a
lunch room. Yesterday, according to
Mrs Wilson, her husband left her alone
during a busy time Of day while he
went to the court house. Upon his
return she chided him for his absence,
and he told her to mind her own
business" and she then 'sassed" him
back, she said.
"He then hit me and locked me in
an inclosed back porch" Mrs. Wilson
said.
At the time Eugsne was running an
errand, and q younger son, Kenneth,
10, who was home, joined his mother
on the porch.
Upon Eugene's return, he stated, his
father said: your mother Is to remain
on the porch"
MAY I come IMP" the boy asked.
When the father gave his permis-
sion, Eugene entered the building, saw
his mothers bleeding mouth and heard
her crying. He couldn't bear to see

Mother Denies Threats.
Mrs. Wilson denied current reports
that her son had threatened at one
time he would kill his father II the
latter hurt his mother.
Eugene and his father were the
best Of pals and we deeply regret the
boy found it necessary to resort to
such means. ! do not know what
made him do IT," Mrs. Wilson declared.
The boy himself expressed no regret,
remaining silent when questioned on
that point.
The case was investigated by State
Trooper Robert A. Sims, who declined
to apply for q warrant In the absence
Of Commonwealth Attorney @. B.

FEDERAL BILL
DEN|ESD. c. SHARE
IN HIGHWAY FUND
$488, ,OOO,0 900 Authorization
Allows Only $500, 900 for
Crossings.
ADDED REASON GIVEN
FOR LARGER LUMP SUM
Participation With States in Road
Aid Shut Off for II Years
Prior to Depression.
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Although the District will be en-
titled to small Federal allotments for
grade crossing elimination during
1888 and 1899 under the $488 8,000, 900
Federal-aid highway authorization for
those two years, passed by the Senate
Yesterday, Washington Is excluded
from the grants for highway con-
Struction.
Since the bill is for two years, one
half of the total. or $4,000 900 would
be distributed each year. The pur-
pose in passing it ahead Of time is to
give State legislatures time to plan
their highway budgets SO as to be able
to match the Federal grants.
OF the annual total the amount
for grade crossings will be $4,000, 900
a year, distributed on the basis Of
population, Federal-aid highway mile
age and railroad mileage. Under this
formula the District would be en-
titled to 100000 in each Of the two
years, the remainder going to the
States and Hawaii. In the District.
however, there is comparatively little
grade crossing work remaining to be
done.
District Portion Small.
Out of the $48s, 1000, 900 total au-
thorization for the two years, there
fore, the Districts maximum par
ticipation would be only 100000 for
grade crossings and nothing for reg
ular highway work. The grade cross
ings do not have to be matched.
For II years prior to the depres-
sion the District was excluded from
the annual distribution Of Federal
grants to the States tor match State
funds for highway construction. Dur
ing the recent unemployment emer-
gency Congress permitted the District
to share temporarily in Federal high
way grants to relieve unemployment
here as well as in the States.
District Again Omitted.
The new bill means that under the
resumption of the normal Federal
aid program, the District again is
omitted from the highway construc-
ton sections. This Is an added rea-
son why the Federal Governments
share of the annual District appro-
priation bill. now in conference,
should not be reduced below the
budget recommendation of $5,700, 900.
Even with that figure, which the SEN
ate is advocating, the Federal Gov
ernment would be meeting only about
IA per cent of the s43, 100000 total in
the local supply bill.
The Federal-aid highway bill was
handled in the Senate by Senator
Hayden, Democrat, Of Arizona. 1t
goes to conference for adjustment OF
several Senate amendments.

BUSES IN DISTRICT
TO Be VENTILATED
BY FORCED DRAFT
Utilities Commission Orders
New Systems Installed
by October 81.
FEW OLDEST VEHICLES
ARE EXEMPT FROM RULE
Soon to Be Retired, They Have
Fresh Air Pouring in Through
Cracks, Anyway, Say Officials.

Acting to protect riders from impure
air, the Public Utilities Commission to-
day ordered that buses operating in
the District be provided with forced
draft ventilation apparatus.
The order is effective at once for any
new busses which may be purchased by
the Capital Transit Co., the Washing
ton Rapid Transit Co. and the several
suburban lines entering Washington.
Existing buSseS not now so equipped
must have the new system installed on
or before next October 81.
A comparatively small number OF
the oldest buses in service were ex-
empted from the rule, principally on
the ground they should be retired from
service in the near future. Comm1s-
sion officials also explained that these
old vehicles row have fresh air in the
colder months because they are so
loosely constructed that fresh air pours
into them without the help of mechan-
ical equipment.
Bureau officials Approve.
The commission had a tentative
draft of the order prepared in March,
but delayed issuance to await COM
pletion of tests by Bureau of Stand
ards experts. Bureau officials today
noted their approval of the steps
planned by the commission after test
ing some of the new type busses which
would comply with the commissions
orders.
October 81 was fixed as the last
date for equipping the older busses
with the new apparatus because that
is the date when bus windows usually
are all closed and carbon dioxide be-
comes more prevalent. Commission
officials said a close check would be
maintained during the Summer on
discomfort caused by raw gasses
emanating from buses. They ex-
planned that improved engine equip
ment now is available which greatly
reduces the fumes.
10 Cubic Feet Per Minute.
A portion of the order requires pro-
vision of minimum of 10 cubic feet
of fresh air per minute per passenger
seat This is to be drawn in through
louvers placed on the right side of the
buses. The commission forbade the
placing Of either intake or exhaust
ventilation openings in the roof ex-
cept in the front third Of the buses,
engineering tests having shown that
when they are placed farther back the
systems do not work properly.

Indicated Record on
Home Floor.
Times Special


RICHMOND, Ind, Jan. 49,
Coach j. Owen Huntsman of the
Earlham College basketball team
that is yet to be defeated on its
home floor, has put his squad
through strenuous drills this week
in an effort to keep that record in
tact when Butler plays here to-
night.
The Earlham Maraudin Maroons,
the nickname given the team two
years ago during a 24-game victory
march, have turned back Taylor,
DePauw, Southwestern of Kansas
and Wilmington by safe margins in
previous contests played here. They
dropped their first game to Wabash
last Monday night at Crawfords-
vile by a 1929 score.
The contest tonight will be But
ler's first ever played at the Earl
ham fleldhouse. Previous Earlhan-
Butler games have been played at
the Coliseum in Richmond. This
year extra bleachers have been
placed in the gym that will seat
approximately $500 persons.
Coach Huntsman is expected to
start Leland and Hunt at forwards;
Walker, a ix-foot-four- Inch junior,
at center, and Bull and Peters at
guards.
Last year the Bulldogs trounced
the Maroons at indianapolis, 44-29.
