ing the way. In fact, so much good
football was played that State Sen
ator Pat Beacon, former Univer'
sity of West Virginia player and
an outstanding official, has picked
an alI-West Virginia State football
eleven to be written into the rec
ords with the rest Of the mythical
teams. For the reason that Uni
versity of West Virginia is not a
member of the conference, tn"
MountaineerS are not included.
Gut0wski Outstanding
Probably the most outstanding
player in the West Virginia State
Conference was Edward Gutowski,
center and captain of Davis and
Elkins College. Gutowski played
up to the requirements of a Grade
A center. He was Whiz bang at
diagnosing enemy plays, and excep-
tionally effective against forward
passing attacks.
Senator Beacon follows prece.
dent of selecting a fullback who
packs a defensive punch. His
choice is Bill Hanna of Bethany.
Hanna is a triple threat man who
knows how to block. Playing full
back he has every opportunity to
display his defensive talents, which
are far above ordinary.
Gutowski and Hanna are the
only representatives of their re,
spective schools on the West Vir-
ginia school. Marshall College
placed two men; West Virginia
Wesleyan placed three and West
Liberty was honored with two men
on the club. Concord and Salem
also placed players.
Harris Best Guard
Ken Harris of West Liberty was
easily the best guard in the Con
ference, but Hall of the Bobcats,
played well throughout his four
years, and was teamed with Harris
by Senator Beacon. Crushore, of
Bethany, and Bragg, of Marshall,
were placed on Senator Beacon S
second team.

G. U. Vice President Says Toilers
Must Effect Program for
Masses.

American democracy cannot 60 on
forever buying immunity" from the
sickness that sooner or later aff1icts
every form Of popular government,
DR.. Edmund A. Walsh, S. j., vice presi-
dent of Georgetown University and
regent Of its School of Foreign Service,
warned last night in lecture on
Liberty Under Democracy"
I'VE have bought immunity thus
far-and postponed the reckoning. "
he said. THE price is mounting with
every session of an infiationistic Con-
greSs. 1t is simply race between the
Treasury and disaster"
DR.. Walsh proposed labor shares"
and an economic council or a house
of national welfare to avert economic
disaster.
Democracy not only has failed to
provide security and suficiency for
the broad masses of the people who
rely on daily toll for their subsistence, Z"
he warned, but is challenged also be-
cause it has permitted the economic
control to be lodged in the discretion
of a small. privileged minority.
The hour has come, the educator
claimed, for the calling Of an eco
nomic council representing all the
major occupations to legislate per-
manently for the good of all the peo-
pie. Without suggesting that it
should displace or usurp the consti-
tutional functions of Congress, it
could undoubtedly achieve much that
Congress cannot or will not do," he
said.

FORMER RAILWAY CLERK.
Postmaster Was Ignored in Early In
vestigation of Case,

CHICAGO, April 18 lP).-Edard c.
Bartholmey, arrested with two other
men today in connection with the kid
naping of William A. Hamm, jr., St.
Paul brewer, is a railway clerk who
became postmaster of suburban Ben
senville, the police at Bensenville said
today.
Bartholmey, married and the father
Of family, did not figure in the in
vestigation of the suburb last year
which led to the discovery of the
hideout where Edward G. Bremen, St.
Paul banker. was concealed during his
kidnapping.
At that time Harold Anderson, occu-
pant Of the house in which Bremen
was held. was arrested, together with
Elmer Farmer, Bensenville tavern
keeper, who was accused OF arranging
for the hideout.
Bensenville is a Chicago suburb
about IA miles west of the city. 1t is
a suburban section of working class
families, mostly bungalows with a
sprinkling Of apartment buildings.
D. M. Ladd, in charge of Federal
agents in the Chicago area. said the
Bartholmey home, where Eamm was
held for three days after he was kid
naped, is a two-story, white frame
building on York road.
The house where Bremen was held
also was in the vicinity of York road.
Ladd said Hamm was held for two
days in a second-f1oor bed room. The
victim was not blindfolded, the Fed
eral chief said, and was able to "iden-
tify the house positively"
Bartholmey was arrested yesterday
afternoon at his home, Ladd said. The
Federal agent said the postmaster had
a wife and a 16-year-old son, high
school student.
A call to the Bartholmey home to-
day brought the response, Mother is
not home-she's working"
Ladd said the kidnapping and hiding
Of Hamm was prior to the time Bar
tholmey was appointed postmaster.
Bartholmey was a Democratic pre-
cinct committeeman in Bensenville
and applied for the postmastership
after he lost his job on the railroad,
Mayor Runge Of Bensenville said.

HOSPITAL ADDITION
DEDICATION TODAY
Four New Wings of Glenn
Dale Will Be Opened
This Afternoon.

Four new wings Of the Children's
tuberculosis Hospital at Glenn Dale,
Md. will be opened and dedicated this
afternoon.
Completed at a cost of $4,000,
these new wings will add $50 beds,
doubling the capacity Of the hospital
The original portions Of the hospital
cost 100000.
Despite the enlarged facilities, the
utmost capacity of the hospital soon
will be taxed, according to DR.. D. L.
Finucanes, the superintendent. Adding
to the troubles, he pointed out, is the
lack OF an adequate personnel.
The new additions will be presented
by Lieut.. Col. Dan I. Sultan, Engineer
Commissioner, in behalf of the Dis
trict Government. Addresses will be
delivered by F. w. McReynolds. chair
man Of the Board Of Public Welfare;
DR.. H. j. Crosson, chairman of the
boards medical service committee, and
DR.. A. Barklie Coulter, director of the
Health Departments tuberculosis
Bureau.
At present the sanitarium, of the
Defense Highway in Prince Georges
County, is filled to capacity. The
District tuberculosis Association is
engaged in its annual Early dag
nosiS" campaign and many additional
patients will be dded to waiting list.
Plans are now being made, it was
said, which will coordinate tubercu-
losis disqualification activities OF the
Board OF Public Welfare and the
Health Department. This movement
Is expected to reveal more eligible
cases.
In passing the Districts 1887 sup
ply bill, the House took $4,000 of
the Budget Bureaus recommended
estimate for maintenance of the Chill
dren's tuberculosis Hospital in 1867.
Previously the Budget Bureau had
slashed the estimates Of the District
Commissioners.
The Senate subcommittee dealing
with District appropriations. however,
has indicated it will restore the san
itarium funds eliminated by the
House. While this would improve the
situation. the available funds would
still leave the hospital under-manned,
Dr. Finucane pointed out.
At the exercises, which will be at
tended by many Washingtonians who
enlisted in the long campaign for the
hospital, DR.. w. L. Darby, executive
secretary Of the Federation Of
Churches, will give the invocation.
Right Rev. Msgr. John T. O'Grady
will pronounce benediction. Music
will be furnished by the Army Band.

COTTON GOVERNED
BY CROP OUTLOOK
Better Weather Brings Sag,
but Recoveries Follow
Near End of Week,
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 18.-Weather
conditions were the principal influence
in the cotton market this week.
Improved weather brought in some
midweek selling, but the rainfall re-
ported in droughty sections of the
Southwest were considered inadequate
and moderate reactions were followed
by recoveries today.
Old-crop positions made new high
ground for the movement, May selling
at 11.40. 1t closed yesterday at 11.39,
compared with 11.29 at the close Of
the previous week. December, after
selling of from l0.47 to 1898. closed
today at 1914, compared with 1899
at the close Of April 9.
The attention Of the trade remained
divided between weather and crop
news and the marketing Of Govern
ment-f1nanced cotton. It was re-
ported to have been "authoritatively"
estimated that within the next two
